DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The specific technical solutions of the present application are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings to facilitate further understanding of the present application by those skilled in the art without limiting the rights thereof.

[0045] Embodiment 1, refer to Figures 1-7 An automatic opening and closing device of a cover, the device has:

[0046] The lock box 1 is formed into a substantially square box structure, and is fixed on the cover 3 for plugging the container port, that is, the cover 3 is located directly below the lock box 1, and the two are detachably connected as a whole by bolts. The outer end of the lock box 1 is rotatably mounted on the container port, and the rotatable mounting can be achieved by hinging, which is not limited to this connection method.

[0047] The lock cover 4 is actually used in cooperation with the lock shaft 6 on the telescopic cover opening mechanism 5, like the plug seat of a split plug lock, which can be a square structure, and is fixed on the container port, which can be the inlet of any container that needs to be selectively closed / opened by the cover 3. When the container is a tanker as in Embodiment 8, the container port is the filling port of the tanker, and the cover 3 is a round cover for plugging the filling port. A lock hole 7 is formed in the lock cover 4, which can be concentrically assembled with the lock shaft 6 described below and achieve the locked state of the cover 3.

[0048] The telescopic cover opening mechanism 5 can be a telescopic power mechanism such as an electric cylinder, and its non- telescopic end is mounted on the inner wall of the lock box 1, and the telescopic end is rotatably mounted on the container port. The lock shaft 6 is mounted on the non- telescopic end of the telescopic cover opening mechanism 5, and is formed into a substantially rod-shaped structure.

[0049] When the telescopic cover opening mechanism 5 is extended to close the container port, the lock hole 7, the telescopic end of the telescopic cover opening mechanism 5 and the axis of the lock shaft 6 are collinear, thereby forming a locked state, that is, the cover 3 cannot be opened by itself at this time.

[0050] In Embodiment 1, the lock box 1, the cover 3 and the telescopic cover opening mechanism 5 are actually formed into a relatively fixed integrated structure after installation. The extension and contraction of the telescopic end of the telescopic cover opening mechanism 5 achieves the locked state and the unlocked state with the lock cover 4, thereby achieving the action of automatically closing or opening the cover 3.

[0051] Embodiment 2, the automatic opening and closing device of the cover as described in Embodiment 1 is provided with a manual cover opening mechanism on the lock box 1. The manual cover opening mechanism has a drive rod 8 and a manually intervened cover opening plate 9. The drive rod 8 is formed into a substantially rod-shaped structure, and is substantially perpendicular to the lock box 1 and the manually intervened cover opening plate 9.

[0052] One end of the driving rod 8 is fixedly connected with the telescopic cover opening mechanism 5 and is set as a fixed end, and the other end is set as a driving end. A lock box driving slot is formed on the lock box 1. One end of the lock box driving slot is set as a lock box driving slot starting end 11, and the other end is set as a lock box driving slot ending end 12. The lock box driving slot and the following manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot are formed as a generally waist-shaped slot structure.

[0053] The manual intervention cover opening plate 9 is rotatably installed on the lock box 1. A manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot is formed on the manual intervention cover opening plate. One end of the manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot is set as a manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot starting end 18, and the other end is set as a manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot ending end 19. When the manual intervention cover opening plate 9 is not rotated, the positions of the manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot starting end 18 and the lock box driving slot starting end 11 and the positions of the manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot ending end 19 and the lock box driving slot ending end 12 are correspondingly set. The travel trajectory of the manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot is the same as that of the lock box driving slot.

[0054] An arc-shaped pushing slot is also formed on the manual intervention cover opening plate 9. The arc-shaped pushing slot is formed as a generally arc-shaped structure. One end of the arc-shaped pushing slot is set as an arc-shaped pushing slot starting end 16, and the other end is set as an arc-shaped pushing slot ending end 17. The arc-shaped pushing slot starting end 16 is in communication with the manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot ending end 19.

[0055] The driving end of the driving rod 8 is located in the lock box driving slot and the manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot. The travel distance from the lock box driving slot starting end 11 / manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot starting end 18 to the lock box driving slot ending end 12 / manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot ending end 19 is equal to the travel distance of the lock shaft 6 during the process of entering / leaving the lock hole 7 to realize the locking / unlocking of the cover 3. An arc-shaped pushing surface is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the arc-shaped pushing slot. When the manual intervention cover opening plate 9 is manually rotated, the arc-shaped pushing surface can push the outer circumferential surface of the driving end of the driving rod 8.

[0056] When the manual intervention cover opening plate 9 is manually rotated, the arc-shaped pushing surface causes a pushing force on the driving end of the driving rod 8 along the opening direction of the lock box driving slot / manual intervention cover opening plate driving slot, so that the driving end of the driving rod 8 moves from the lock box driving slot ending end 12 to the lock box driving slot starting end 11, thereby achieving the state that the lock shaft 6 leaves the lock hole 7, i.e., the cover 3 is unlocked.

[0057] In the embodiment 2, it is necessary to note that during the whole process of manually opening the cover 3 by the manual opening mechanism, that is, during the period when the telescopic end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5 changes from the extended state to the retracted state, that is, during the manual unlocking of the cover 3: since the driving end of the driving rod 8 is always located in the lock box driving groove, the manual intervention opening plate driving groove and the arc-shaped pushing groove, when the driving end of the driving rod 8 reaches the end 11 of the lock box driving groove from the end 12 of the lock box driving groove, the driving end of the driving rod 8 also reaches the end 16 of the arc-shaped pushing groove from the end 17 of the arc-shaped pushing groove at the same time.

[0058] In addition, the arc-shaped pushing groove is designed in an arc-shaped structure because during the rotation of the manual intervention opening plate 9, the inner circumferential surface of the arc-shaped pushing groove, that is, the pushing arc surface, can cause a vertical upward pushing force and a pushing force towards the opening direction of the lock box driving groove / manual intervention opening plate driving groove on the outer circumferential surface of the driving end of the driving rod 8, which pushes the driving end of the driving rod 8, and since the fixed end of the driving rod 8 is fixed to the telescopic opening mechanism 5, the telescopic opening mechanism 5 is also pushed, causing the telescopic end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5 to be pushed and retracted into the telescopic opening mechanism 5, and during the pushing of the telescopic opening mechanism 5, the lock shaft 6 in the lock hole 7 is also caused to be separated from the lock hole 7, achieving the unlocking of the cover 3.

[0059] In the embodiment 3, the automatic opening and closing device of the cover as described in the embodiment 2, the opening directions of the lock box driving groove and the manual intervention opening plate driving groove are the same as the mounting direction of the telescopic opening mechanism 5.

[0060] In the embodiment 4, the automatic opening and closing device of the cover as described in the embodiment 1, an auxiliary locking mechanism is arranged on the lock box 1, and the locking mechanism has a moving piece 13 and a retreat stopping piece 14.

[0061] The moving piece 13 is fixed to the non-telescopic end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5, and the moving piece 13 is formed in a substantially square plate structure.

[0062] The retreat stopping piece 14 includes a push-pull electromagnet, and the telescopic end of the push-pull electromagnet is opposite to the moving piece 13, so as to further lock the non-telescopic end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5 when the cover 3 closes the container opening.

[0063] In the embodiment 5, the automatic opening and closing device of the cover as described in the embodiment 1, a locking mechanism 15 for keeping the relative positions of the lock box 1 and the manual intervention opening plate 9 fixed is detachably mounted between the lock box 1 and the manual intervention opening plate 9.

[0064] In the embodiment 5, the lock box 1 and the manual intervention opening plate 9 are optionally fixed as a whole, that is, the lock box 1 and the manual intervention opening plate 9 are fixed as a whole without the manual opening of the cover 3.

[0065] The automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of the embodiment 6 is the automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of the embodiment 5, and the locking mechanism 15 is a button lock.

[0066] In the embodiment 6, the button lock is actually a button lock with a key, and the design purpose is to prevent the material cover from being opened illegally.

[0067] The automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of the embodiment 7 is the automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of the embodiment 1, and the non- telescopic end of the telescopic cover opening mechanism 5 is provided with an adjusting screw hole 2 for adjusting the axial distance of the lock shaft 6, and one end of the lock shaft 6 is threadedly connected with the adjusting screw hole 2.

[0068] In the embodiment 7, the adjusting screw hole 2 is actually a blind hole with an internal thread, which enables the one end of the lock shaft 6 to move axially along the internal thread blind hole, so as to adjust the axial distance of the lock shaft 6.

[0069] The automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of the embodiment 8 is the automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of the embodiment 1, and the top of the lock box 1 is provided with a support inclined surface 10 which is in contact with the container mouth when the material cover 3 is in the open state, so as to keep the material cover 3 in the open state, and the support inclined surface 10 is located on the top of the lock box 1 above the telescopic cover opening mechanism 5.

[0070] In the embodiment 8, the design purpose of the support inclined surface 10 is to be in contact with the container mouth when the material cover 3 is in the open state, so as to keep the material cover 3 in the open state, and facilitate the feeding.

[0071] The automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of the embodiment 9 is the automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of any one of the embodiments 1-8, and the container mouth is a tank truck feeding port, and the material cover 3 is a manhole cover for blocking the tank truck feeding port / manhole on the tank truck.

[0072] In the embodiment 9, when the container mouth is a tank truck feeding port, that is, the automatic opening and closing device for the material cover can selectively open and close the material cover 3 on the tank truck, which solves the problem of inconvenient application caused by the fact that the tank truck can only be manually opened or the current automatic opening device is relatively large in size.

[0073] The automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of the embodiment 10 is the automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of the embodiment 9, and the end edge of the material cover 3 is provided with a sealing groove for mounting a sealing member, and a sealing member for improving the sealing performance of the material cover is arranged in the sealing groove.

[0074] The automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of the embodiment 10 is the automatic opening and closing device for the material cover of the embodiment 9, and the end edge of the material cover is provided with a sealing groove for mounting a sealing member, and the sealing groove is formed into a substantially annular groove, a sealing member for improving the sealing performance of the material cover 3 is arranged in the sealing groove, and the sealing member can be a sealing rubber strip but is not limited thereto, and the design purpose is to improve the sealing effect of the end edge of the material cover.

[0075] Example 11, an automatic opening and closing device for a material cover as described in Example 1, the control method is used to control any one of the automatic opening and closing devices for a material cover in Examples 1-10, the steps of which are as follows:

[0076] (1) Installation of accessories:

[0077] Sensors I, II, and III are configured on the lock box 1 and the telescopic opening mechanism 5. Sensors I, II, and III can be reed sensors.

[0078] (2) Automatic opening of the material cover:

[0079] First, the telescopic end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5 is retracted. At this time, the non-installation end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5 moves closer to the telescopic end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5. Sensor II is configured so that when sensor II detects that the moving part 13 is close to the stop part 14, the telescopic end of the stop part 14, i.e. the push-pull electromagnet, is retracted and does not block or interfere with the moving part 13. When the stop part 14, i.e. the push-pull electromagnet, completely passes the moving part 13, the telescopic end of the push-pull electromagnet is reset to the initial state. Sensor III is configured so that when sensor III detects that the material cover 3 is in the maximum open state, the telescopic end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5 is stopped from retracting and the opening action is completed. Then, the material can be added to the container opening. The installation positions of sensor I, sensor II and sensor III can be set according to the usage requirements, so their specific installation positions will not be described here.

[0080] (3) Automatic closing of the material cover:

[0081] First, the telescopic end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5 is extended. At this time, the non-installation end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5 is far away from the telescopic end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5. When the sensor II detects that the moving part 13 is close to the stop part 14, the telescopic end of the stop part 14, i.e. the push-pull electromagnet, retracts and does not block or interfere with the moving part 13. When the stop part 14, i.e. the push-pull electromagnet, completely passes the moving part 13, the telescopic end of the push-pull electromagnet returns to the initial state. The sensor I is configured so that when the sensor I detects that the locking shaft 6 is inserted into the lock hole 7, the telescopic end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5 stops extending. At this time, the automatic opening and closing device of the material cover 3 is in the closed and locked state.

[0082] (4) Manual opening of the material cover:

[0083] First, remove the locking mechanism 15 between the lock box 1 and the manual intervention opening plate 9. Manually move the manual intervention opening plate 9. At this time, the inner circumferential surface of the arc-shaped push groove, i.e. the push arc surface, pushes the drive end of the drive rod 8, thereby causing the telescopic end of the telescopic opening mechanism 5 to retract, causing the lock shaft 6 to disengage from the lock hole 7, thus unlocking the material cover 3. Continue to move the manual intervention opening plate 9 until the support slope 10 contacts the container opening to fully open the material cover 3.
