Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of detection equipment, and particularly to a general gas cylinder automatic detection equipment. Background Art

[0002] During the production and manufacturing process of gas cylinders for containing gases, strict inspections are required before they can be put into use. Since gas cylinders are generally large in volume and heavy, it is difficult to use a tape to carry and convey them. Therefore, currently, generally, workers manually transfer the gas cylinders to the detection equipment for inspection, which not only consumes manpower and time but also results in low detection work efficiency. Even if a corresponding transmission device is designed to automatically transmit and detect the gas cylinders, on the one hand, gas cylinders are generally cylindrical and easy to roll, making it difficult to balance the stability of their installation and the flexibility of transmission; on the other hand, the sizes of different types of gas cylinders often vary greatly, and it is often difficult for an automatic detection device to be universal for gas cylinders of various sizes. If different detection devices are specially set for gas cylinders of different sizes, the production and processing costs of gas cylinders will be significantly increased. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation mode

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Figure 1 Schematically shows the structure of an automatic detection device for general gas cylinders according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 shows Figure 1 the structure of the conveyor line in Figure 3 shows Figure 1 the related structure of the conveyor belt in Figure 4 shows Figure 1 the related structure of the optical machine in Figure 5 shows Figure 1 the related structure of the rotating wheel in. As Figure 1-5 shown, the device mainly includes two conveyor line mechanisms 1 arranged side by side, and two conveyor belts 2 that can rotate and lift in the vertical direction are respectively arranged directly above the two conveyor line mechanisms 1, and an optical machine 4 for detection is arranged above the conveyor belts 2.

[0027] The conveyor line mechanism 1 has two, which are arranged side by side in a head-to-tail manner. The upper part of each conveyor line mechanism 1 includes two long bottom plates 12 arranged horizontally. The two bottom plates 12 are inclined and the inclined surfaces are opposite, so the upper parts of the two bottom plates 12 are farther apart and the lower parts are closer. A large number of rows of balls 13 are distributed and installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 12, that is, the opposite inclined surface. The bottoms of the two bottom plates 12 are supported by a plurality of bottom frames 14 arranged side by side.

[0028] There is not seamless connection between the two conveyor line mechanisms 1, specifically, between the bottom plates 12 of the two conveyor line mechanisms 1, but a small gap, which can be called a lower gap 11. When the gas cylinder 7 is placed on the bottom plate 12 of one of the conveyor line mechanisms 1, the gas cylinder 7 is easily slid along the balls 13 by external force, and can slide across the lower gap 11 to the bottom plate 12 of the other conveyor line mechanism 1.

[0029] The two transmission belts 2 are respectively located directly above the two conveyor line mechanisms 1, wherein the two transmission belts 2 are both installed on a lifting frame 22, the lifting frame 22 is arranged horizontally, and the bottom of the lifting frame 22 is supported by a plurality of vertical telescopic support rods 23, and the bottom of the lifting frame 22 is also connected to a plurality of vertically arranged telescopic gas rods 24. The operation of the telescopic gas rods 24 can drive the lifting frame 22 to move up and down in the vertical direction until it contacts the gas cylinder 7 on the conveyor line mechanism 1, and at the same time, the telescopic support rods 23 will also be telescoped accordingly.

[0030] A transmission mechanism 3 is installed in the middle of the lifting frame 22. The transmission mechanism 3 includes a transmission motor 31. The rotor of the transmission motor 31 is connected to two upright transmission wheels 32 through belt transmission. The centers of the two transmission wheels 32 are respectively connected to two horizontal transmission rods 33, wherein the ends of the two transmission belts 2 that are close to each other are respectively sleeved on the two transmission rods 33, and the ends of the two transmission belts 2 that are away from each other are respectively sleeved on the rotating shafts 24 at the ends of both sides of the lifting frame 22. When the transmission motor 31 is in operation, it can drive the transmission rods 33 to rotate through the transmission wheels 32, thereby driving the two transmission belts 2 to rotate.

[0031] In addition, there is a gap between the ends of the two transmission belts 2 that are close to each other, which can be called an upper gap 21 . The upper gap 21 is located directly above the lower gap 11 .

[0032] The optical machine 4 is installed on a fixing frame 41, and its detection part faces downward. Among them, a horizontal slide rail 42 is provided at the top of the fixing frame 41, and a sliding frame 43 and a sliding cylinder 44 are connected and installed on the slide rail 42. The sliding frame 43 can slide on the slide rail 42, and the optical machine 4 is installed at the bottom of the sliding frame 43. Therefore, when the sliding cylinder 44 operates, it can drive the sliding frame 43 and the optical machine 4 to slide horizontally on the slide rail 42 to adjust the position of the optical machine 4 so that it is directly above the lower gap 11 and the upper gap 21.

[0033] Preferably, an image enlarger 5 is further provided at the bottom of the lower gap 11, and the image enlarger 5 is installed on the fixing frame 41 through a mounting member.

[0034] Preferably, at least a pair of rotating wheels 6 are further provided on both sides above the conveyor line mechanism 1. Among them, the rotating wheels 6 are movably installed on the fixing frame 41, and each pair of rotating wheels 6 are connected to a pair of horizontal rotating rods 61, and each rotating rod 61 is connected to a rotating cylinder 62. Then, when the rotating cylinder 62 operates, it can drive each pair of rotating wheels 6 to rotate within a certain range around the fixing frame 41 where they are located, so as to clamp and release the gas cylinders 7 arranged on the conveyor line mechanism 1. In addition, the rotating wheels 6 are generally distributed around the lower gap 11, and the rotating wheels 6 farther away from the rotating cylinder 62 can also be equipped with their own cylinders and reducers.

[0035] When using this automatic detection device, the gas cylinder 7 is placed on the bottom plate 12 of one of the conveyor line mechanisms 1. The telescopic air rod 24 operates to lower the lifting frame 22 and each conveyor belt 2 until they contact the gas cylinder 7. The driving motor 31 operates to rotate each conveyor belt 2, thereby driving the gas cylinder 7 to slide on the bottom plate 12; when the gas cylinder 7 slides to the lower gap 11, each pair of rotating wheels 6 can be used to clamp and fix the gas cylinder 7, and the optical machine 4 is used to detect it; after the detection is completed, the rotating wheels 6 rotate to release, and the conveyor belt 2 continues to rotate, driving the gas cylinder 7 to cross the lower gap 11 and slide onto another conveyor line mechanism 1 for discharging.

[0036] The general gas cylinder automatic detection device in the present invention can stably perform automatic transmission and transportation and detection, improving the efficiency of the gas cylinder detection work. At the same time, since the height of the conveyor belt is adjustable, it can be used for the detection work of various gas cylinders with different sizes and weights, saving manpower, material resources and time, and greatly reducing the production and processing cost of gas cylinders.

[0037] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
