Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. The connection can be a direct connection or an indirect connection.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 3, which is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure and the three-dimensional structure of a highly automated air column bag Q bag inflator in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] A highly automated air column bag Q bag inflator comprises a cantilever 1, a fuselage 2, a bracket 3 and a mounting base 4, wherein the cantilever 1 is suspended above the mounting base 4, the base is used to provide a mounting reference for each mechanism and stabilize the mounting state of each structure, the cantilever 1 is used as a mounting carrier to install each component in the working area, and a transmission mechanism, a traction mechanism, a guide mechanism and an inflation mechanism are integrated and installed on the cantilever 1; the fuselage 2 is arranged at the side of the cantilever 1, wherein the upper end is used to support the cantilever 1, and the lower end is connected and fixed to the mounting base 4; the bracket 3 is arranged at the top position of the mounting base 4, which is opposite to the fuselage 2 and is used to support the unwinding mechanism; the fuselage 2 and the bracket 3 are installed and fixed on the top of the mounting base 4, so that the main support parts of the two structures can obtain a stable relative position at a preset position, and the cantilever 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the fuselage 2, so that the remaining structures can be installed on each main structure through screws and other structures, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the device.

[0025] In this embodiment, a transmission mechanism, a traction mechanism, a guiding mechanism and an inflation mechanism are integrated on the cantilever 1. The transmission mechanism is located on one side of the cantilever 1, and is used to provide kinetic energy for the traction mechanism and the guiding mechanism arranged on the other side of the cantilever 1, so as to control the operation. The traction mechanism and the guiding mechanism are arranged on the side of the cantilever 1 opposite to the power transmission mechanism, and are used to transport the Q bag backward. The inflation mechanism is arranged in the middle of the traction mechanism, and is used to inflate the Q bag. The coil of the Q bag moves from one end of the cantilever 1 to the other end in this process, so that it starts from a flat strip, is bent and inflated, and becomes an expanded air column bag, and the top hat shape of the air column bag and the column shape below are inflated at the same time, which greatly improves the inflation efficiency.

[0026] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes a transmission motor 5 and a transmission sprocket group 6. The transmission motor 5 is arranged in the internal cavity of the cantilever 1, and the transmission sprocket group 6 is horizontally arranged on the side of the cantilever 1. The transmission sprocket group 6 is installed outside the cantilever 1 and is wrapped by a metal box body and aligned and driven by the transmission motor 5. When the machine is inflating the Q bag, dust in the air will not invade the transmission mechanism and block the transmission component, and the worker's body cannot directly contact the transmission structure, thereby improving safety during operation.

[0027] In this embodiment, the traction mechanism includes a traction silicone wheel 13 and a partition plate 14. The traction silicone wheel 13 is arranged opposite to the transmission sprocket group 6 and is connected with an axle rod of the same specification. The partition plate 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the traction silicone wheel 13 to separate the cap part of the Q bag from the long air column part. After the Q bag enters the traction part, the cap body structure of the air column bag is bent downward through the partition plate 14 and moves toward the end driven by the traction silicone wheel 13, so that the Q bag does not need to roll up and bend the cap body in advance during the inflation process, thereby improving the inflation efficiency of the machine and reducing labor consumption.

[0028] Of course, in the specific implementation, a presser foot 11 can also be installed on the top of the guide shaft 10 in the guiding mechanism. The guide shaft 10 is arranged below the connection between the cantilever 1 and the fuselage 2, and is used to guide and directional guide the Q bag. The presser foot 11 is arranged above the guide shaft 10, and is used to press the Q bag and correct the deviation, strengthen the guidance, and make the Q bag always keep one side close to the inflation mechanism during the transportation process, so that the Q bag can be processed in large batches without deviation, thereby reducing the scrap rate during the inflation process.

[0029] In this embodiment, the inflation mechanism includes an air inlet 9 and an air outlet pipe 12. The air inlet 9 is nested in the middle of the fuselage 2 for inputting air. The air outlet pipe 12 is arranged in the middle groove of the traction silicone wheel 13 for filling air into the Q bag, so that the Q bag can be inflated while being towed, and the inflation process of the Q bag is cut off by the airway cutting point at the end of the air outlet pipe 12, so that it is easy to detach from the inflator after inflation. Since the inflation time is fixed, the inflation of the Q bag is also relatively uniform, and there will be no air column bags with different gas capacities.

[0030] In this embodiment, the fuselage 2 includes an air inlet 9, a heat dissipation window and a power switch. Sealing rings are provided at both ends of the air inlet 9 for connecting the air outlet pipe 12 to an external air source. The heat dissipation window is provided on the outside of the fuselage 2 for dissipating the heat generated when each structure is working. The power switch is provided next to the air inlet 9 for controlling the start and stop of the machine, so that the heat generated by the inflator during operation can be discharged through the heat dissipation window under the fuselage 2, and the power of the device can be controlled by the power switch, thereby improving the service life and safety of the machine.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bracket 3 includes a discharge shaft 7, a top block 8 and a solenoid valve 17. The discharge shaft 7 is nested and installed on the top of the bracket 3 for placing the Q bag coil. The top blocks 8 are arranged at both ends of the discharge shaft 7 for clamping and adjusting the winding and unwinding of the Q bag coil. The solenoid valve 17 is arranged at the bottom of the body 2 for adjusting the flow rate and flow of the airflow. The discharge shaft 7 and the top block 8 enable the machine to adapt to air column bag coils of different sizes and models, and the solenoid valve 17 has four ends, one end of which is connected to an external power supply, and the other end is connected to a power line and electrically connected to each electrical component, and the remaining two ends are connected to the air inlet 9 and the air outlet pipe 12, so that the airflow can be constrained and controlled by the solenoid valve 17 on the flow rate and flow, thereby improving the scope of application and operability of the device.

[0032] In this embodiment, there are four transmission sprocket groups 6 in the transmission mechanism, and the structure is a transmission group structure in which sprockets and gears are connected to each other, three of which are arranged at equal intervals at the bottom of the cantilever 1 close to the fuselage 2, and one group is fixedly installed at the other end of the cantilever 1 with a large interval, and the transmission sprocket groups 6 are all connected to the transmission motor 5 through a chain for transmission. After the transmission sprocket group 6 is connected to the transmission motor 5, the gear assembly in the transmission sprocket can rotate through the transmission of the chain, and the transmission group structure in which the sprockets and gears are connected to each other has a higher transmission ratio, and one transmission motor 5 can drive multiple groups of gears at the same time, which simplifies the transmission structure while saving energy and improving work efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, the traction silicone wheel 13 in the traction mechanism can also be used as an air compression device, and is connected and fixed to the transmission sprocket group 6 at a corresponding position. One group serves as the main traction component to stretch the Q bag coil forward, and the other three groups preserve and seal the air filled in the Q bag while assisting in traction. After the Q bag enters the traction silicone wheel 13 component, the bag body is compressed and it will not leak during inflation, so that the inflation efficiency is high and there is no waste. After inflation, the traction silicone wheel 13 can keep the air in the air column bag, and cut off the air injection and seal the inflation port at the rear airway cutting position, so that the inflation process is fast and the inflation state is stable and uniform.

[0034] The working principle and practical method of the air column bag Q bag inflator with high automation degree of the present invention are as follows:

[0035] The strip coil of the air column bag Q bag does not need to be bent in advance when inflating, and can be rolled up and placed in the unfolded state. After the coil of the air column bag Q bag is wrapped and placed on the surface of the discharge shaft 7, a section is pulled out and wrapped around the guide shaft 10, and the cap part of the air column bag is bent downward and passed through the partition plate 14. Then, the inflation port of the air column bag Q bag is inserted into the air outlet pipe 12, and the presser foot 11 is turned downward to press the guide shaft 10. After clamping the air column bag, the external air source is connected to the air inlet 9, and the power switch is turned on to start the transmission motor 5, and the transmission motor 5 drives the chain to drive the transmission The moving sprocket group 6 causes the air column bag to move along the air outlet threading pipe 12 under the rotational force of the traction silicone wheel 13. When the air column bag moves to the middle of the air outlet threading pipe 12, air is ejected to inflate the air column bag, and the traction silicone wheel presses the air column bag to prevent air leakage during inflation. Finally, when the air volume inside the air column bag is full, the traction silicone wheel 13 makes the inflated air column bag pass through the airway cutting point, so that the inflation of the air column bag is completed and it continues to move backward. Since the air column bags are pre-cut with tearing lines, the subsequent segmentation of the air column bags is easy, and the overall work efficiency is high.
