[0044] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0045] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0046] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the automated central dehydration workstation includes:

[0047] Main frame 1;

[0048] A transport robot 11, provided on the main frame 1, for transporting the cloth cage 23;

[0049] The dehydration device 2 is arranged in the main frame 1, and after the cloth cage 23 is introduced, the cloth cage can be rotated to dehydrate;

[0050] The rotating platform 8 is arranged in the main frame 1, and at least two cloth cage installation positions 801 are arranged on it. The rotating platform can rotate to drive the cloth cage 23 to rotate to the pick-up and placement position with the handling robot 11. The rotating platform 8 is also provided with a swinging cage device 82 for driving the cloth cage 23 thereon to rotate. The present invention provides an automated central dehydration workstation, which drives the cloth cage thereon to rotate and change positions through the rotating platform, replacing the method of using a trolley for transportation, so that while receiving the cloth on one side, the cloth cage on the other installation position can directly wait to be transported to the dehydration device or other processes, greatly improving efficiency. The handling robot is used to realize the transportation of the cloth cage between the rotating platform and the dehydration device, so that the overall space occupied is small. In addition, this solution solves the problem that the cloth cage needs to rotate itself to receive the cloth. The swinging cage device is used to realize that the rotating platform can be reversed after rotation, and it is always guaranteed to cooperate with the cloth cage on the cloth receiving station to rotate it. The present invention provides an automated central dehydration workstation, which drives the cloth cage on it to rotate and change position through a rotating platform, replacing the method of using a trolley for transportation, so that while receiving cloth on one side, the cloth cage on the other installation position can directly wait to be transported to the dehydration device or other processes, greatly improving efficiency. The cloth cage is transported between the rotating platform and the dehydration device using a transport manipulator, making the overall space occupied small. In addition, this solution solves the problem that the cloth cage needs to rotate itself to receive the cloth, and uses a swinging cage device to achieve the reversal of the rotating platform after rotation, always ensuring that it cooperates with the cloth cage on the cloth receiving station to rotate it.

[0051] The control method is as follows: the cloth cage on the rotating platform connected to the cloth conveyor rotates to receive the cloth. After receiving the cloth, the control system rotates the rotating platform so that the cloth cage after receiving the cloth is opposite to the transport position, and the other cloth cage that has not received the cloth rotates to the cloth receiving position. By swinging the rotating cage device to change positions, the cloth cage that has not received the cloth rotates to receive the cloth. At the same time, the handling robot transports the cloth cage on the transport position to the dehydration device for dehydration. During the dehydration and cloth receiving process, the handling robot transports another empty cloth cage to the rotating platform to wait for cloth receiving. In this way, the entire process of receiving cloth, dehydration, and replenishing cloth cages is completed in the workstation without pausing, making the entire process efficient and automated.

[0052] Furthermore, the main frame 1 is provided with two sets of rotating platforms 8 located on both sides of the dehydration device, and the main frame 1 is also provided with a transverse track 101 located between the two sets of rotating platforms 8, and the handling robot 11 is arranged on the transverse track 101. Another set of rotating platforms can dock with dehydrated cloth cages and replenish new empty cloth cages to improve efficiency. Figure 1 As shown, in this solution, one side of the rotating platform is connected to the soft cloth machine 18, and the other side is connected to the cloth turning machine 19.

[0053] Furthermore, the handling robot 11 includes a transverse seat 111 disposed on the transverse track 101, a lifting frame 112 disposed on the transverse seat 111, and a gripping portion 113 disposed at the lower end of the lifting frame 112, and the lower end of the lifting frame 112 is also provided with a guide structure 114 located at the lower side of the gripping portion 113. In addition, the gripping portion 113 includes a sleeve 1131, and the sleeve 1131 is provided with a sleeve hole for the T-shaped connector on the cloth cage 23 to extend into, and the sleeve 1131 is hinged with a plurality of swing arm hooks 1132 extending into the sleeve holes. Its gripping structure is simple, and it can be firmly gripped in conjunction with the structure of the cloth cage, and the cloth cage is lifted after being gripped and laterally moved to the corresponding work station.

[0054] Specifically, the guide structure 114 is cylindrical, which covers the outer periphery of the sleeve 1131 and extends downward, and is provided with a guide hole for the sleeve column in the middle of the cloth cage 23 to extend into, and the guide structure 114 is coaxially installed with the sleeve 1131. Its guidance has a good centering effect, so that the T-shaped connector can enter the sleeve hole at the center position, and the swing arm hooks 1132 around it can rotate to firmly grasp the T-shaped part.

[0055] In the present scheme, the specific structure of the rotating platform is as follows: it includes a rotating seat 811; a rotating table 81, which is arranged at the upper end of the rotating seat 811 and can rotate relative to the rotating seat 811, and at least two cloth cage installation positions 801 are arranged on the rotating table 81, and a rotating support bracket 802 is arranged on the cloth cage installation position 801; a swinging cage device 82, which is arranged on the rotating seat 811 and is located between the cloth cage installation positions 801 and can rotate with the rotating table 81 relative to the rotating seat 811, and is used to drive the cloth cage 23 on the cloth cage installation position 801 to rotate on the rotating table 81; the rotation of the rotating table 81 can switch the cloth cage 23 to different process positions, and the swinging cage device 82 can swing relative to the rotating seat 811 after rotating with the rotating seat 811 to drive the cloth cage 23 rotated to the designated process position. The rotating platform drives the cloth cage thereon to rotate and change position, replacing the method of using a trolley for transportation. While receiving cloth on one side, the cloth cage on the other installation position can directly wait to be transported to the dehydration device or other processes, greatly improving efficiency. In addition, this solution solves the problem that the cloth cage needs to rotate itself to receive cloth. The swing cage device is used to realize the reversal of the rotating platform after rotation, always ensuring that it cooperates with the cloth cage on the cloth receiving station to make it rotate.

[0056] Furthermore, the rotating table 81 is provided with two cloth cage installation positions 801 which are arranged horizontally opposite to each other and are respectively located at both ends of the rotating table 81. In this way, after the rotating table rotates 180 degrees, the cloth cage on it can complete the station conversion, and after receiving the cloth from the cloth cage at the cloth receiving station, it rotates to the station waiting for dehydration, while the other cloth cage can continue to receive the cloth, which greatly improves the efficiency.

[0057] In order to realize automation, the present scheme is also provided with an in-position detection switch 84 on the rotating seat 811. The detection switch is used to realize automatic control of the rotating table. Specifically, the rotating seat 811 is provided with a driving mechanism 8111 for driving the rotating table 81 to rotate, and the two sides corresponding to the cloth cage installation position 801 on the rotating table 81 are arc-shaped edges, and the other two sides are detection straight edges 8011, and after the rotating table 81 is rotated to the position, the detection straight edges 8011 are opposite to the in-position detection switch 84. Moreover, the in-position detection switch 84 includes a proximity sensor 841 that slows down the rotation of the rotating table 81 after detecting the detection straight edge 8011, and a limit switch 842 that stops the rotation of the rotating table 81 after detecting the detection straight edge 8011. Through the design of the straight edge and the arc edge, during the rotation process, the distance between the detection switch and the arc edge is always greater than the distance between the straight edge, thereby ensuring that the rotation is in place after the straight edge is detected, making the structure simpler and the detection system uncomplicated. This solution uses the cooperation of proximity sensor 841 and limit switch 842, and its automatic rotation process is as follows: after the control system receives the rotation action instruction, the rotating table starts to rotate. When the rotation is close to 180°, the proximity sensor 841 detects the straight edge, and the rotating table starts to slow down and rotate slowly until the limit switch 842 is triggered, so that the rotating table stops and rotates to the right position. After reaching the right position, the swing cage device 82 is controlled to swing to the cloth cage on the other side, so that it can rotate to continue receiving cloth.

[0058] Furthermore, the specific structure of the swing cage device is as follows: the swing cage device 82 comprises a rotating seat 821 arranged on the rotating platform 81, a swing arm 822 arranged on the rotating seat 821, a driving device 823 arranged on the swing arm 822, and a rotating wheel 824 connected to the driving device, the driving device 823 drives the rotating wheel 824 to rotate, the rotating wheel 824 contacts the surface of the cloth cage 23 on the cloth cage installation position 801, thereby driving the cloth cage 23 to rotate, and the rotating seat 821 drives the swing arm 822 to swing on the rotating platform 81. In addition, a swing positioning assembly extending to the rotating seat 811 is provided at the lower end of the rotating seat 821, the swing positioning assembly comprises a positioning arm 825 that rotates synchronously with the swing arm 822, a limiting structure 826 is provided on the rotating seat 811, the positioning arm 825 swings until it contacts the limiting structure 826, and the rotating wheel 824 contacts the cloth cage 23. In this solution, the rotating wheel 824 is a rubber wheel, which contacts the surface of the cloth cage and is driven to rotate by friction when the rotating wheel rotates. The rotating bracket on the mounting position enables the cloth cage to rotate on the rotating table to achieve cloth receiving.

[0059] Moreover, the limiting structure 826 is a limiting column, and the limiting column is provided on both sides of the corresponding in-position detection switch 84. When the swing cage device swings, the limiting column on the lower side cooperates with the positioning arm 825 to achieve the limiting effect of swinging to the position. The structure is simple.

[0060] Furthermore, the rotating support bracket 802 includes a rotating component arranged on the rotating platform 81, a cross support frame 8021 arranged on the rotating component, and a matching embedded block 8022 arranged on the cross support frame 8021. It is convenient for the installation of the cloth cage, and can be stably connected with the cloth cage, so as to facilitate the rotation of the cloth cage.

[0061] like Figures 11 to 20 As shown, the structure of the dehydration device in the present scheme is as follows: it includes an outer cylinder 21; an inner cage 22, which is arranged in the outer cylinder 21 and can rotate relative to the outer cylinder 21, and a cloth cage 23 is also arranged in the inner cage 22; a double-layer cover body 3, which is hinged on the outer cylinder 21, and the double-layer cover body 3 includes an outer cover 31 and an inner cover 32 arranged at the lower end of the outer cover 31, and the inner cover 32 can rotate relative to the outer cover 31; a locking structure 4, which is arranged on the inner cover 32, and can connect the inner cover 32 with the inner cage 22 so that the inner cover 32 can rotate with the inner cage 22; a linkage structure 5, which is arranged between the outer cover 31 and the inner cover 32, and the linkage locking structure 4 is connected to the inner cage 22 when the double-layer cover body 3 is closed, and the linkage locking structure 4 is disconnected from the inner cage 22 when the double-layer cover body 3 is opened. The double-layer cover body is used. When closed, the outer cover covers the upper opening of the outer cylinder, and the inner cover covers the upper opening of the inner cage. The inner cover can rotate together with the inner cage, thereby preventing the internal fabric from flying into the gap between the inner cage and the outer cylinder during the dehydration process. The locking structure is adopted so that the inner cover can move with the inner cage, so that the sealing effect of the inner cover and the inner cage is better.

[0062] Furthermore, the locking structure 4 includes a plurality of claws provided on the inner cover 32 and extending in the radial direction of the inner cover 32. The claws can move radially along the inner cover 32 so as to extend from the peripheral side of the inner cover 32. The inner peripheral side of the upper edge of the inner cage 22 is provided with a position or slot for the claws to extend into. When locking, the claws on the inner cover extend into the slots of the inner cage, so that the inner cover and the inner cage can be connected and the inner cover and the inner cage can move with each other. The structure is simple, and the locking action is convenient and efficient. Specifically, in the present application, the claws are arranged in a long strip shape and are located on the upper end surface of the inner cover, and an upwardly protruding edge is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the inner cover, and an opening for the claws to extend out is arranged on the edge.

[0063] Furthermore, in the present application, a plurality of claws are provided on the inner cover, which are distributed in a circle along the center of the inner cover, and cooperate with the linkage structure to achieve that when the cover is closed, the plurality of claws are extended together, and the plurality of claws are linked to move synchronously.

[0064] Moreover, a gap 3011 is left between the inner cover 32 and the outer cover 31, and the inner cover 32 can move up and down relative to the outer cover 31. When the inner cover 32 moves up relative to the outer cover 31, the claws extend outward from the circumference of the inner cover 32, and when the inner cover 32 moves down relative to the outer cover 31, the claws retract inward and break away from the connection with the inner cage 22. A simple structure realizes efficient linkage action.

[0065] The specific structure of the linkage structure is as follows: the linkage structure 5 includes a fixed seat 51 arranged on the outer cover 31, and a movable seat 52 arranged in the fixed seat 51 and connected to the inner cover 32, and the movable seat 52 can move up and down and rotate relative to the fixed seat 51. The inner cover is driven to move up and down and rotate relative to the outer cover through the movable seat 52. Specifically, the fixed seat 51 has a cavity with an opening downward, the movable seat 52 is arranged in the cavity and extends from the lower end of the cavity, and a connecting wing 521 is provided on the outer periphery of the extended end of the movable seat 52, and one end of the claw is connected to the connecting wing 521 through a pivot block 53. In this case, a bearing is also provided between the fixed seat 51 and the movable seat 52, and an elastic connecting member is also provided on the upper end of the movable seat 52, so that when the cover is closed, the inner cover is pressed by the elastic member, so that the inner cover always maintains a downward pressure, thereby making the sealing and following effects of the inner cover better. And through the annular connecting wing 521 structure, the synchronous linkage of multiple claws is realized.

[0066] Furthermore, the lower end of the fixing seat 51 is provided with a connecting outer edge 511, and the lower end surface of the connecting outer edge 511 is provided with a first connecting block 512 extending downward, and the rear end of the clamping claw is provided with a second connecting block 41 extending upward, and the pivot block 53 is hinged to the first connecting block 512 through a first bayonet 510, and connected to the second connecting block 41 through a second bayonet 520, and the pivot block 53 is also provided with a bayonet 531 for the connecting wing 521 to be inserted. Through the hinge of the pivot block 53, the up and down movement of the connecting wing 521 drives the rear end of the hinge block to move up and down, and the upper front end thereof is hinged on the first connecting block 512, the first connecting block is fixed, and the pivot block 53 can only rotate along the first connecting block, and the lower part is connected to the second connecting block 41, thereby driving the clamping claw to move horizontally. In addition, a vertically arranged limit groove 411 is provided on the second connecting block 41, and the second bayonet 520 passes through the limit groove 411. The two sides of the bayonet 531 are an upper clamping foot 5311 respectively in contact with the upper end surface of the connecting wing 521 and a lower clamping foot 5312 in contact with the lower end surface of the connecting wing 521. The inner sides of the upper clamping foot 5311 and the lower clamping foot 5312 are provided with a protrusion 5313 protruding toward the bayonet direction.

[0067] Furthermore, a step 221 is provided on the inner side of the inner cage 22 below the slot, which contacts the lower end surface of the inner cover 32 when the cover is closed, and when the double-layer cover body 3 is closed, the step 221 pushes the inner cover 32 toward the outer cover 31. The step 221 is used to press the inner cover, so that the cover body is automatically locked when it is closed.

[0068] In addition, a retaining edge 301 extending into the cloth cage 23 is also provided on the lower end surface of the inner cover 32. The retaining edge is opposite to the upper curling edge of the cloth cage 23 to form a seal, further ensuring that the fabric will not fly out of the cloth cage when being spun dry in the cloth cage.

[0069] In addition, the outer cylinder 21 is also provided with a locking member 6, which includes a seat body 61 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 21, a swing arm 62 provided on the seat body 61, and a clamping block 63 provided on the swing arm 62, and the swing arm 62 can drive the clamping block 63 to rotate to the upper part of the outer cover 31 after the cover is closed, so as to achieve the effect of pressing after the cover is closed and maintain stability during the spin-drying operation.

[0070] The present application also provides a rotation sealing method for a dehydration device in which an inner cover and an inner cage follow each other, comprising the following steps:

[0071] a. The double-layer cover body 3 is covered on the outer cylinder 21, the outer cover 31 is covered on the outer cylinder 21 to seal, and the inner cover 32 is covered on the inner cage 22 to seal;

[0072] b. When closing, the inner cage 22 presses the inner cover 32, so that the inner cover 32 moves toward the outer cover 31, and during the movement, the claws on the inner cover 32 extend outward and extend into the matching position of the inner cage 22;

[0073] c. When dehydrating, the inner cage rotates, and the inner cover 32 rotates with the inner cage 22 through the claws;

[0074] d. When the double-layer cover body 3 is opened, the outer cover 31 moves upward relative to the inner cover 32, so that the claws are retracted into the inner cover 32 and are disconnected from the inner cage 22.

[0075] The present invention provides an automated central dehydration workstation, which drives the cloth cage on it to rotate and change position through a rotating platform, replacing the method of using a trolley for transportation, so that while receiving cloth on one side, the cloth cage on the other installation position can directly wait to be transported to the dehydration device or other processes, greatly improving efficiency. The cloth cage is transported between the rotating platform and the dehydration device using a transport manipulator, making the overall space occupied small. In addition, this solution solves the problem that the cloth cage needs to rotate itself to receive the cloth, and uses a swinging cage device to achieve the reversal of the rotating platform after rotation, always ensuring that it cooperates with the cloth cage on the cloth receiving station to rotate it.
