[0031] The special rust removal machine for fire extinguishers described in the present invention includes a fire extinguisher conveying part and a grinding part. Among them, the fire extinguisher conveying part includes a rotary drive mechanism for making the fire extinguisher tank body placed in a horizontal posture rotate around the axis and a linear drive mechanism for making the fire extinguisher tank body move along the axis; the grinding part includes a friction wheel arranged on the side surface of the fire extinguisher tank body, and the friction wheel is connected to a steering mechanism, and the steering mechanism is used to keep the working surface of the friction wheel in continuous contact with the surface of the fire extinguisher tank body.

[0032] The following will describe the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and detailed implementation manners and specific operation processes are given, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0033] As Figures 1-10As shown in the figure, the special rust-removing machine for fire extinguishers of the present invention includes a fixed bottom plate 1. An electric screw linear slide 2 is installed on the fixed bottom plate 1. A sliding bottom plate 3 is connected to the slider of the electric screw linear slide 2. A rotary drive mechanism is installed on the sliding bottom plate 3 to make the fire extinguisher M tank body placed in a horizontal position rotate. At the same time, the fire extinguisher M tank body can move linearly along the axis under the action of the electric screw linear slide 2.

[0034] As Figure 5 shown, the above-mentioned rotary drive mechanism includes a fixed support frame installed at the left end of the sliding bottom plate 3. A circular base 4.1.2 driven by a second rotary motor 4.1.1 is installed on the fixed support frame. A frustum 4.1.3 with an open top surface is integrally connected to the right side of the circular base 4.1.2. The frustum 4.1.3 is coaxially arranged with the fire extinguisher M tank body. A hand-operated screw linear slide 4.2 parallel to the central axis of the circular base 4.1.2 is installed on the substrate on the right side of the fixed support. A push rod 4.3.2 driven by a jacking cylinder 4.3.1 is installed on the slider of the hand-operated screw linear slide 4.2. The push rod 4.3.2 is coaxially arranged with the frustum 4.1.3, and its head is conical, which is convenient for inserting into the fire extinguisher M tank mouth and automatically centering with the frustum 4.1.3. Two arc-shaped support members 4.4 located on the left side of the push rod 4.3.2 are arranged side by side on the slide rail of the hand-operated screw linear slide 4.2. Each arc-shaped support member 4.4 is respectively provided with two axis adjustment devices 4.5 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the mid-perpendicular plane of the fire extinguisher M tank body. As Figure 6 shown, each axis adjustment device 4.5 includes a fixed cylinder 4.5.1 installed on the lower surface of the arc-shaped support member 4.4. A lifting cylinder 4.5.3 whose height is adjusted by screwing a screw 4.5.2 is installed in the fixed cylinder 4.5.1. A support roller 4.5.4 extending to the upper surface of the arc-shaped support member 4.4 is connected to the top of the lifting cylinder 4.5.3. The support roller 4.5.4 is tangent to the surface of the fire extinguisher M tank body, and the axis of the screwing screw 4.5.2 is located in the cross-section of the fire extinguisher M tank body. Among them, the screwing screw 4.5.2 is limited by a positioning bolt 4.5.5 connected to the fixed cylinder 4.5.1. A vertical guide groove 4.5.6 is opened on the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 4.5.3, which cooperates with the guide bolt 4.5.7 on the fixed cylinder 4.5.1 to make the lifting cylinder 4.5.3 vertically lift along the fixed cylinder 4.5.1.

[0035] During use, first determine the distance between the frustum 4.1.3 and the ejector rod 4.3.2, and the height of the support roller 4.5.4 according to the size of the fire extinguisher M; then, by turning the handle of the manual screw linear slide 4.2, make the ejector rod 4.3.2 reach the appropriate position to complete the adjustment of the clamping distance; next, by screwing the screw 4.5.2, make the support roller 4.5.4 reach the appropriate height to complete the adjustment of the supporting height of the arc-shaped support 4.4; then place the fire extinguisher M tank body on the arc-shaped support 4.4 so that its outer wall is in contact with the support roller 4.5.4. At the same time, move the fire extinguisher M tank body to the left so that the base sleeve at its bottom is sleeved on the outer side of the frustum 4.1.3 to complete automatic centering. Since the top of the frustum 4.1.3 is open, the spherical bottom surface in the base sleeve of the fire extinguisher M will not interfere with the circular base 4.1.2; finally, insert the ejector rod 4.3.2 into the mouth of the fire extinguisher M through the jacking cylinder 4.3.1 to complete the positioning and installation of the fire extinguisher M.

[0036] A pair of friction wheels 5 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the fire extinguisher M tank body, and each friction wheel 5 is connected to a steering mechanism. Generally, the above-mentioned friction wheels 5 are made of wear-resistant wire wheels. As Figure 8 、 9 shown, the above-mentioned steering mechanism includes a fixed frame 6.1 installed on the fixed base plate 1. A first rotating motor 6.2 connected to the friction wheel 5 is installed on the top surface of the fixed frame 6.1. The axis of the above-mentioned friction wheel 5 is parallel to the center line of the fire extinguisher M tank body, and the working surface of the friction wheel 5 is in contact with the surface of the fire extinguisher M tank body. The mounting seat of the first rotating motor 6.2 is connected to the vertical rotating shaft 6.3. The vertical rotating shaft 6.3 passes through the top surface of the fixed frame 6.1 and extends downward. A horizontal rotating rod 6.4 parallel to the cross-section of the friction wheel 5 is installed at its bottom. One end of the horizontal rotating rod 6.4 is installed with a return spring 6.5 connected to the side wall of the fixed frame 6.1, and the other end is installed with a roller 6.7 cooperating with the guiding track 6.6. As Figure 3 、 4 shown, the above-mentioned guiding track 6.6 is installed on the sliding base plate 3, and is arranged parallel to the fire extinguisher M tank body and moves synchronously with the fire extinguisher M tank body. In order to enable the friction wheel 5 to polish the straight surface structure of the body part and the curved surface structure of the mouth part of the fire extinguisher M at the same time, the above-mentioned guiding track 6.6 includes a straight surface section m for keeping the friction wheel 5 moving in a straight line and a curved surface section n for making the friction wheel 5 rotate around the vertical rotating shaft 6.3 (see Figure 7 ).

[0037] During use, the horizontal fire extinguisher M tank body is supported by the top rod 4.1 and the rotating base 4.2, and is caused to rotate; the first rotating motor 6.2 is started to rotate the friction wheel 5, and at the same time, the electric screw linear slide 2 is started to move the fire extinguisher M tank body from right to left, so that the friction wheel 5 first grinds the fire extinguisher M tank body part, and then grinds the fire extinguisher M tank mouth part; when the entire fire extinguisher M tank body is completely polished, the motor of the electric screw linear slide 2 is reversed to transport the fire extinguisher M tank body to the initial position. When the fire extinguisher M tank body part is connected to the friction wheel 5, the roller 6.7 contacts the straight surface segment m of the guide rail 6.6, the working surface of the friction wheel 5 contacts the entire fire extinguisher M tank body, and the reset spring 6.5 is not stretched and is in a free state. When the fire extinguisher M tank mouth part is about to connect with the friction wheel 5, the roller 6.7 contacts the curved surface segment n of the guide rail 6.6. Figure 3 For example, when the roller 6.7 contacts the curved section n of the guide rail 6.6, the horizontal rotating rod 6.4 rotates counterclockwise due to the large resistance, and the vertical rotating shaft 6.3 rotates counterclockwise, driving the friction wheel 5 connected to it to rotate counterclockwise as well (see Figure 7 ), so that the working surface of the friction wheel 5 is always in contact with the curved surface structure of the tank mouth of the fire extinguisher M and polishes it. When the horizontal rotating rod 6.4 rotates counterclockwise, the return spring 6.5 connected to the side wall of the fixing frame 6.1 is in a stretched state.

[0038] In order to prevent the rust or iron filings removed by the high-speed rotating friction wheel 5 from flying and injuring people, a dust cover is bridged over the fixed base plate 1 above the friction wheel 5, and the friction wheels 5 on both sides are enclosed in the dust cover. At the same time, a pipe interface for connecting the dust collector is reserved at the top of the dust cover to further process the rust or paint fragments scattered in the dust cover to prevent them from polluting the air and protecting the environment.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to realize automatic loading and unloading and closely coordinate with the grinding rhythm of the fire extinguisher M tank body, a loading platform 7 and a unloading platform 8 are installed on the fixed base plate 1, which are located on the left and right sides of the sliding base plate 3. The loading platform 7 and the unloading platform 8 are installed side by side near one end of the top rod 4.3.2, and are respectively installed with adjustment rails parallel to the electric screw linear slide 2. Each adjustment rail is installed with an arc-shaped support member 4.4 for supporting the fire extinguisher M tank body. The arc-shaped support member 4.4 can adjust its position on the loading platform 7 or the unloading platform 8 according to the model of the fire extinguisher M tank body, so as to achieve the purpose of stably supporting the fire extinguisher M tank body. The above-mentioned loading platform 7 is connected with the loading and conveying mechanism, and the unloading platform 8 is connected with the unloading and conveying mechanism.

[0040] A support platform 9 is also connected above the loading platform 7 and the unloading platform 8. The support platform 9 is connected to two pneumatic grippers 10 arranged side by side through a multi-dimensional moving mechanism.Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the multi-dimensional moving mechanism includes a rodless cylinder 11.1 connected to the support table 9 and perpendicular to the fire extinguisher M tank body 1. The rodless cylinder 11.1 is connected to a first connecting plate 11.2 parallel to the fire extinguisher M tank body 1. A lifting cylinder 11.3 is connected to the first connecting plate 11.2. The lifting cylinder 11.3 is connected to a pneumatic gripper 10 through a second connecting plate 11.4, and the second connecting plate 11.4 is perpendicular to the fire extinguisher M tank body 1. In order to adjust the position of the second connecting plate 11.4 along the direction of the fire extinguisher M tank body, so that the pneumatic gripper 10 is located directly above the first arc-shaped support member 2 and the second arc-shaped support member 6, and can just be clamped in the middle of the fire extinguisher M tank body. An adjusting plate 11.5 is installed on the top of the rodless cylinder 11.1. Adjusting long holes 11.6 connected to the support table 9 by bolts are provided on both sides of the adjusting plate 11.5, and the adjusting long holes 11.6 are arranged along the direction of the fire extinguisher M tank body. The rodless cylinder 11.1 is used to reciprocate the two pneumatic grippers 10 between the first station and the second station. The first station means that the two pneumatic grippers 10 correspond to the loading table 7 and the hand-operated screw linear slide 4.2 respectively, and the second station means that the two pneumatic grippers 10 correspond to the unloading table 8 and the hand-operated screw linear slide 4.2 respectively; that is, the grasping mechanism grasps two fire extinguisher M tank bodies at the same time. When the pneumatic gripper 10 is transferred from the first station to the second station, the fire extinguisher M tank body on the hand-operated screw linear slide 4.2 can be transferred to the unloading table 8. At the same time, the fire extinguisher M tank body on the loading table 7 is replenished to the hand-operated screw linear slide 4.2. Then, the pneumatic gripper 10 returns from the second station to the first station to complete a grasping operation and wait for the next grasping. When it is necessary to grasp the fire extinguisher M tank body, the clamping cylinder 10.1 of the pneumatic gripper 10 drives the paired clamping arms 10.2 to move relatively; in order to form a firm clamping of the fire extinguisher tank M body, two pairs of clamping blocks 10.3 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom on the inner side of each pair of clamping arms 10.2, and the distance between adjacent clamping blocks 10.3 on the single-side clamping arm 10.2 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the fire extinguisher M tank body.
