Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gas suction pipeline mechanical equipment, and in particular to a telescopic airway device. Background Art

[0002] In general, when we use pipe connections to blow or suck gas, we often use the hose 100 connection method, and add a drag chain to the outside to play a supporting role or tie it with a cable tie (see the attached Figure 13 The advantage of this is that it is easy to achieve the blowing and suction requirements at room temperature, but the disadvantage is that it takes up a lot of space, and when encountering high-temperature gas, the hose has a short service life, is prone to air leakage, is difficult to replace, and has messy pipelines.

[0003] Although stainless steel hoses can withstand high temperatures, the corrugated channels inside them are not smooth enough. If the gas or liquid passing through contains fibers or dust, long-term use will leave dirt. In addition, stainless steel hoses are not as flexible as plastic hoses, which may lead to rupture or leakage. They cannot be used for a long time and need to be replaced and cleaned regularly.

[0004] Another way is to use a stainless steel hard pipe 200 connection (see attached Figure 14 While aesthetically pleasing and space-saving, this hinged telescopic structure has numerous elbows and significant pressure loss. High machining precision is required, making it difficult to maintain geometric tolerances. Seals are prone to air leakage, requiring frequent seal replacement and resulting in high maintenance costs.

[0005] Pulp molding requires both vacuum extraction and compressed air blowing to dry and transfer products. Currently, the industry often combines these two processes through a main pipeline, then controls them independently with two valves. This is theoretically feasible, but in practice, it's been found that when the vacuum is turned off and compressed air is blown again, cross-talk often occurs, resulting in slow response times.

[0059] The specific embodiments of the telescopic airway device of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] See attached Figure 1 、 2 The telescopic airway device 1 includes an upper frame 2 and a lower frame 3, which are connected by a tie rod 4. The lower frame is fixed with a guide shaft support 5 and then locked with a lower locking nut 6. After tightening the adjustment nut 7 on the tie rod 4, the upper frame 2 is installed and the upper locking nut 8 is tightened. While tightening the upper locking nut 8, the horizontality of the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 3 is adjusted. The height between the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 3 can be set as needed.

[0061] See attached Figure 3 、 6 A pressure cylinder 9 is installed on the upper frame 2. The pressure cylinder 9 uses compressed air as power. The pressure cylinder piston rod 10 passes downward through the upper frame 2. The lower end of the pressure cylinder piston rod 10 is installed on the movable mold table 11. An air cavity 12 is set below the movable mold table 11. A telescopic air duct 13 is installed on the movable mold table 11. A cylinder body 14 is installed on the upper frame 2. The upper end of the telescopic air duct 13 is passed through the cylinder body 14. A valve is installed on the telescopic air duct 13 near the movable mold table 11. The lower end of the telescopic air duct 13 is connected to the air cavity 12. A blowing and suction installation port 15 is set below the air cavity 12.

[0062] See attached Figure 7 Two small air cylinders 16 are mounted on the upper frame 2 on either side of the pressure cylinder 9. The piston rods of the small air cylinders 16 are connected to the movable die table 11. The small air cylinders 16 are connected to an air tank 17, which assists in lifting the pressure cylinder 9 and thereby reduces the bore of the pressure cylinder 9. Furthermore, when the pressure cylinder 9 drives the movable die table 11 downward, it creates resistance to its descent, thereby reducing the problem of rapid descent caused by the excessive weight of the movable die table 11.

[0063] A throttle valve 20 is installed on the air inlet and outlet of the small cylinder 16 to control the lifting speed of the piston rod of the small cylinder 16, thereby driving the slow rise and fall of the movable mold table 11 to ensure that the telescopic air channel 13 is smooth when extending and retracting.

[0064] The upper end of the cylinder 14 is connected to an air source. If pressure blowing is used, the air source is a pressure air source, and if air extraction is used, the air source is a vacuum source. The pressure cylinder 9 drives the movable mold table 11 up and down, driving the telescopic air channel 13 to expand and contract within the cylinder 14, causing the air cavity 12 to change its vertical position.

[0065] As needed, the telescopic air duct 13 can also be a multi-section knotted structure. Adding two to three knotted structures can greatly increase the telescopic distance and meet the blowing and suction gas requirements at different heights and distances.

[0066] See attached Figure 2 、 4 Two guide columns 18 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the telescopic air duct 13. The cylinder body 14, the telescopic air duct 13 and the guide columns 18 form a telescopic air duct assembly. The lower end of the guide column 18 is fixed on the movable mold table 11, and the upper end of the guide column 18 passes through the upper frame 2. A linear bearing 19 is set between the upper frame 2.

[0067] The straightness of the guide column 18 can ensure the accuracy of the up and down movement of the pressure cylinder 9 and the telescopic airway 13, prevent the suffocation and jamming caused by poor verticality, and improve the service life of the seal and the pressure cylinder 9 pressure cylinder piston rod 10.

[0068] See attached Figure 7 There are two telescopic airway components, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the pressure cylinder piston rod 10, and each telescopic airway component is connected to its own air cavity 12. The two telescopic airways 13 are respectively connected to the pressure air source and the vacuum source to realize the functions of blowing and exhausting respectively.

[0069] The four guide posts 18 of the two telescopic airway assemblies are connected to form a rectangle with the same or similar straightness, ensuring smoothness when the four guide posts 18 move up and down.

[0070] In addition to being arranged vertically, the upper frame 2 and lower frame 3 can also be arranged horizontally without affecting the air extraction and blowing operations. In the description of this application, the directions or positional relationships indicated by "up, down, front, back, left, and right" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended only to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description. They do not necessarily indicate that the equipment components must have a specific direction.

[0071] See attached Figure 8 、 9 10. The cylinder body 14 comprises a cylinder barrel 21 and upper and lower end caps 28 and 29 at either end. Multiple stud bolts 22 secure the end caps together. A cushion 23 and an O-ring 24 are positioned between the barrel 21 and the end caps. The O-ring 24 ensures airtightness, while the cushion 23 prevents the telescopic airway 13 from rising or descending too quickly. A piston head 25 is positioned at the upper end of the telescopic airway 13. During installation, the piston head 25 is directly inserted into the cylinder barrel 21, then the stud bolts 22 are inserted and tightened with nuts.

[0072] The piston head 25 slides against the inner wall of the cylinder body 14. A shaft sealing ring 26 is sleeved on the piston head 25. The lower end cap 29 of the cylinder body 14 slides against the outer wall of the telescopic airway 13. A hole sealing ring 27 is located within the lower end cap 29. Both the shaft sealing ring 26 and the hole sealing ring 27 are Gly rings, ensuring the sealing performance of the end caps. A guide ring 30 is provided between the piston head 25 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 14. A dust ring 31 is provided between the lower end of the lower end cap 29 and the telescopic airway 13 to prevent dust from entering the cylinder barrel 21.

[0073] The Gly ring achieves better sealing performance. A guide ring 30 is installed on each side of the Gly ring, which ensures both the sealing and the guiding performance between the piston head 25 and the cylinder body 14 of the telescopic air channel 13.

[0074] See attached Figure 6 、 11 The upper end cover 28 of the cylinder body 14 is connected to the upper flange 32, the upper flange 32 is connected to the flange on the air source pipeline, the lower end of the telescopic air duct 13 is connected to the lower flange 33, and the lower flange 33 is connected to the flange of the angle seat valve 34. The angle seat valve 34 is selected on the telescopic air duct 13, which is not only resistant to high temperatures, but also can well realize the switching operation when there is dust or fiber in the telescopic air duct 13. The service life is three to five times longer than that of a general switch valve.

[0075] See attached Figure 1 、 4 12. A guide post guard 35 is installed above the linear bearing 19 to prevent the guide post 18 from extending and injuring maintenance personnel during operation. A pipe bracket 36 is installed between the air supply pipe and the upper frame 2. A support frame 37 is installed between the cylinder body 14 and the upper frame 2 to support and protect the pipe, ensure smooth ascent, and prevent the cylinder barrel 21 from tilting. A crash pad 38 is installed on the top of the movable mold table 11 to prevent collision with the upper frame 2 when rising to the top.

[0076] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
