Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a wooden barrel gathering assembly and belongs to the technical field of wooden barrel processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Wooden wine barrels are commonly used containers for long-term storage of wine. They are generally formed by barrel walls and barrel covers at both ends. The barrel walls are formed by barrel staves closely arranged in the circumference, and their shape is generally similar to a drum wall with a large diameter in the middle and small diameters at both ends. The process of making wooden barrels is to arrange and fit the pre-treated barrel staves closely along the barrel radial direction, that is, to close the barrel staves radially, and then clamp the hoops at both ends, and then polish the barrel wall and barrel ends, install the barrel cover, etc. The existing barrel closing process is generally completed by manual rope pulling, winding, etc. and simple auxiliary tools, which has low work efficiency. In addition, due to the uneven force and high elasticity of the barrel staves in the manual barrel closing process, safety accidents are prone to occur, resulting in poor sealing of the barrel staves, affecting the quality of wine, shortening the storage life of wine, and also involving safety production problems. Therefore, a barrel closing assembly with high safety and easy operation is needed to improve processing efficiency and processing effect. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a wooden barrel gathering assembly, which can realize automatic barrel gathering, reduce manual operations, improve work efficiency, and improve barrel gathering effect.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows: a wooden barrel barrel gathering assembly, comprising a base, on which a barrel stave positioning member and a barrel gathering mechanism are provided; the barrel gathering mechanism comprises a platform, a first barrel gathering member and a barrel gathering drive assembly; the platform is arranged above the base, and a through hole is provided on the platform, the first barrel gathering member is symmetrically arranged on the platform, the opposite side surfaces of the first barrel gathering member are arc-shaped surfaces, and the barrel gathering drive assembly drives the first barrel gathering member to move relative to or away from each other.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0006] 1. It realizes the mechanized barrel gathering operation, reduces manual operation and improves the barrel gathering efficiency;

[0007] Second, the barrel staves are closed by relative movement of the first barrel closing member, and the barrel staves are closed neatly, thereby avoiding the situation where the barrel staves are not neatly closed, and the sealing of the wooden barrel is good;

[0008] 3. Use the barrel stave positioning pieces to position the barrel staves for easy placement.

[0009] On the basis of the above technical solution, in order to achieve the convenience of use and the stability of the equipment, the present invention can also make the following improvements to the above technical solution:

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is: the barrel gathering drive mechanism drives the driving member to move relative to each other, and the driving member drives the first barrel gathering member installed thereon to move relative to each other. During the relative movement of the driving member, the distance between the two driving members gradually becomes smaller, which drives the second barrel gathering member between the two driving members to move relative to each other, thereby realizing the barrel gathering operation. The barrel gathering drive assembly has a simple structure, a simple barrel gathering action, and a good barrel gathering effect.

[0016] Furthermore, the barrel collecting driving mechanism comprises two hydraulic cylinders, one end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted on the end of one of the driving members, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted on the end of the other driving member.

[0042] The barrel gathering driving mechanism is composed of two hydraulic cylinders 6, one end of which is fixedly mounted on the end of one of the driving members 5, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is fixedly mounted on the end of the other driving member 5; the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 6 retracts to drive the two driving members 5 to move relative to each other, and the two driving members 5 drive the two first barrel gathering members 3 to move relative to each other, and push the two second barrel gathering members 4 to move relative to each other to form a circular hole; the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 6 extends to drive the two driving members 5 to move away from each other, and the two driving members 5 drive the two first barrel gathering members 3 to move away from each other.

[0043] A driving guide mechanism is provided between the second barrel gathering member 4 and the driving member 5, and the driving guide mechanism includes a groove and a protrusion or a groove and a rolling member (not shown in the figure). The groove and the protrusion or the rolling member are respectively arranged on the contacting sides of the second barrel gathering member 4 and the driving member 5.

As an example, the hoop positioning member 11 is provided in this embodiment.

[0047] The barrel gathering process of the barrel gathering assembly of this embodiment is as follows:

[0048] 1. Place the first hoop on the positioning column, and form a barrel stave placement groove between the hoop and the inner circle positioning member 10; place the barrel staves in the barrel stave placement groove in sequence through the through hole of the platform 2, and at this time, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is in an extended state;

[0049] 2. After all the barrel strips are inserted and placed, the hydraulic cylinder 6 is started. The control system controls the piston rods of the two hydraulic cylinders 6 to contract synchronously, pulling the two driving members 5 to move relative to each other. The first barrel gathering member 3 on the driving member 5 moves relative to each other synchronously. At the same time, the driving member 5 pushes the second barrel gathering member 4 between the driving members 5 to move relative to each other during the movement. The first barrel gathering member 3 and the second barrel gathering member 4 together gather the barrel strips toward the center.

[0050] 3. Until the adjacent barrel staves are tightly spliced ​​together, the hydraulic cylinder 6 stops working;

[0051] 4. Put the second hoop on the closed barrel and press it tightly;

[0052] Fifth, start the hydraulic cylinder 6. The control system controls the piston rods of the two hydraulic cylinders 6 to extend synchronously, driving the two driving members 5 to move in opposite directions. The first barrel-collecting member 3 on the driving member 5 moves in opposite directions synchronously. At the same time, the second barrel-collecting member 4 loses the push of the two driving members 5 and is reset under the pull of the reset spring. The two second barrel-collecting members 4 move in opposite directions. At this time, the wooden barrel can be taken out.

[0053] 6. Turn the wooden barrel over and put it back into the through hole of the platform 2. Put the end of the wooden barrel with the clamping hoop on the boss 9. The inner circle positioning member 10 provides positioning for the wooden barrel. Start the hydraulic cylinder 6. The piston rods of the two hydraulic cylinders 6 are controlled by the control system to contract synchronously, pulling the two driving members 5 to move relative to each other. The first barrel gathering member 3 on the driving member 5 moves relative to each other synchronously. At the same time, the second barrel gathering member 4 between the driving members 5 is pushed to move relative to each other. The first barrel gathering member 3 and the second barrel gathering member 4 gather towards the wooden barrel, fix the wooden barrel, and press the first hoop on the wooden barrel.

[0054] 7. Repeat step 5, take out the wooden barrel, close the barrel and put hoops on both ends of the barrel to make the barrel close better.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
