[0047] Typical implementation manners reflecting the features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that the present invention can have various variations in different implementation manners, all of which do not depart from the scope of the present invention, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are essentially for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the present invention.

[0048] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that in the embodiments shown in the drawings, the indication of the direction or position relationship (such as up, down, left, right, front and back, etc.) is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. When these elements are in the positions shown in the drawings, these descriptions are appropriate. If the description of the positions of these elements changes, then the indication of these directions also changes accordingly.

[0049] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the said features. In the description of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0050] The present application provides a production device for producing containers. The production device in the present application is particularly suitable for the production of medium and small-sized containers, such as LNG cylinders, Dewar flasks, etc.

[0051] The production device includes a conveying device and an adjusting tooling. Among them, the adjusting tooling is used to support and adjust the circumferential posture of a container such as a head or a component similar to a head, and cooperate with the conveying device to realize the conveying of the head. Compared with the traditional method of manually moving and transferring the head, the present application realizes the automatic conveying of the head through the cooperation of the conveying device and the adjusting tooling, ensuring the coherence of the logistics of the entire production line and improving the production efficiency of the production line; at the same time, it avoids manual handling and transferring of the head, improving the safety of the production line. At the same time, the adjusting tooling can also be used in application scenarios such as the storage of heads.

[0052] Among them, the conveying device includes a frame, at least two conveying members spaced along the width direction of the frame at the top of the frame, and a driving member connected to the two conveying members in one-to-one correspondence and driving the two conveying members to move in the same direction.

[0053] For ease of description, the length direction of the frame is defined as the longitudinal direction, and the width direction of the frame is defined as the transverse direction.

[0054] Receiving grooves with open tops are respectively formed at the transverse two ends of the top of the frame for receiving the conveying member. At this time, the conveying member conveys and adjusts the tooling in the longitudinal direction.

[0055] In this embodiment, the conveying member can be a conveying chain. The two conveying chains are both in a closed loop, and the two conveying chains are respectively received in the two receiving grooves in one-to-one correspondence.

[0056] The driving member includes at least one driving motor and at least two connecting shafts arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, taking the number of connecting shafts as two as an example, the two connecting shafts are respectively passed through the upper parts of the longitudinal two ends of the frame in one-to-one correspondence, and each connecting shaft passes through the two receiving grooves at the same time. At this time, each conveying chain is wound around the two rotating shafts (connecting shafts), and the horizontal part of the conveying chain located at the top of the connecting shaft extends horizontally and protrudes upward from the top of the frame.

[0057] The driving motor is connected to one of the connecting shafts to drive the connecting shaft to rotate, and then drive the two conveying chains to rotate in the same direction, so that the horizontal part of the conveying chain located at the top of the connecting shaft moves in the horizontal direction.

[0058] The adjusting tooling is placed on the top of the conveying chain and can move longitudinally along with the conveying chain.

[0059] Furthermore, the conveying device further includes at least one stop member corresponding to the conveying chain. When the number of stop members is one, the stop member can be arranged in the conveying direction of the conveying chain to stop the adjusting tooling from moving forward, or can be arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying chain. When the number of stop members is two, the two stop members can be respectively arranged at the transverse two ends of the frame, that is, the two stop members are respectively located outside the transverse sides of the two conveying chains, and the straight line where the two stop members are located extends horizontally. Each stop member can move up and down vertically relative to the frame, and can rise upward beyond the top of the frame to abut against the adjusting tooling, so as to limit the adjusting tooling to a certain position of the conveying device, so as to facilitate the transfer device to place the head on the adjusting tooling. And after the placement is completed, the stop member moves vertically downward relative to the frame to be lower than the top of the frame or flush with the top of the frame, so that the adjusting tooling continues to move longitudinally along with the conveying chain. Herein, the outer side refers to the side where the two frames face away from each other.

[0060] The following will, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, elaborate on the specific embodiments of the adjusting tooling of the present application in detail.

[0061] Embodiment 1

[0062] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the adjusting tooling 1 in this embodiment.

[0063] Reference Figure 1, the adjustment tooling 1 includes a bottom plate 11 and an adjustment component.

[0064] The top of the bottom plate 11 extends horizontally.

[0065] In this embodiment, the bottom plate 11 is in the shape of a square plate. In other embodiments, the bottom plate 11 can also be in the shape of a circular plate or other shapes.

[0066] Grooves 111 with openings facing outward are respectively formed around the bottom plate 11, and each groove 111 penetrates up and down. The grooves 111 are used to cooperate with the stop members to realize the limit of the bottom plate 11. That is to say, when the bottom plate 11 moves to the position where the stop member is located along with the conveying chain, the stop member can be inserted into the groove 111 along the vertical direction to limit the continuous movement of the bottom plate 11; or, the stop member descends vertically relative to the guide rail to be lower than the top of the guide rail or flush with the top of the guide rail, so that the bottom plate 11 continues to move horizontally along with the conveying chain.

[0067] Preferably, the caliber of each groove 111 gradually increases from outside to inside, which is convenient for the stop member to enter the groove 111.

[0068] Grooves 111 are formed around the bottom plate 11, so that the bottom plate 11 can cooperate with the stop member with any two opposite grooves 111, improving its versatility.

[0069] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of the adjustment component in this embodiment. Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of one working state of the adjustment tooling 1 in this embodiment. Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of another working state of the adjustment tooling 1 in this embodiment.

[0070] Combined Figures 1 to 4 , the adjustment component includes at least three support members 121 arranged on the top of the bottom plate 11 and adjustment members 122 correspondingly arranged on the tops of the support members 121.

[0071] Among them, at least three support members 121 are arranged at intervals, and at least three support members 121 jointly enclose a receiving space for receiving the head 100. In this embodiment, taking the head 100 with a circular cross-section as an example, adaptively, at least three support members 121 are located on the same circumference, so that the cross-section of the jointly enclosed receiving space is circular. In other embodiments, when the cross-section of the head 100 is in other shapes, the shape of the receiving space enclosed by the support members 121 is adapted to the shape of the head 100.

[0072] In this embodiment, each support member 121 is in the shape of a rod extending vertically, and the tops of each support member 121 are flush. Among them, the vertical dimension of each support member 121 is determined according to actual needs.

[0073] In other embodiments, the support member 121 may also be a support member 121 with adjustable height to facilitate adaptation to heads 100 of different sizes. Here is a solution to achieve the height adjustment of the support member 121: The support member 121 may include two support blocks, a guide rod passing through the two support blocks simultaneously, and at least one limit pin. Among them, the two support blocks are respectively slidably connected to the guide rod. At this time, the number of limit pins is two, and they are respectively arranged on the two support blocks one by one to limit the vertical position of the support block relative to the guide rod. Or, one of the support blocks is slidably connected to the guide rod, and the other support block is fixedly connected to the guide rod. At this time, the number of limit pins may be one, and this limit pin is arranged on the support block slidably connected to the guide rod.

[0074] In this embodiment, the top of each support member 121 is provided with an installation surface that slopes inward from top to bottom. Any two installation surfaces are symmetrically arranged about the center of the accommodation space. Among them, the angle α between the installation surface and the horizontal plane is 15° - 75°.

[0075] In this embodiment, the number of support members 121 is four. The four support members 121 are located on the same circumference, and the connection line between the center of the circle where the four support members 121 are located and the center of the bottom plate 11 extends vertically. Moreover, among the four support members 121, the connection line between two spaced support members 121 intersects with the connection line between the other two spaced support members 121, and the intersection point coincides with the center of the bottom plate 11. And, the value range of the included angle between the connection line between two spaced support members 121 and the connection line between the other two spaced support members 121 is: 45° - 90°.

[0076] Each adjusting member 122 includes a roller 1221 rotatably arranged on the support member 121. When the head 100 is placed on the adjusting tooling, multiple rollers 1221 are all in contact with the outer periphery of the head 100, enabling the head 100 to rotate relative to the bottom plate 11. In this embodiment, since the rollers 1221 of the adjusting member 122 are in contact with the outer periphery of the head 100, under the action of its own gravity center, the head 100 has a tendency to rotate or slide relative to the rollers 1221, driving multiple rollers 1221 to rotate relative to the bottom plate 11 or slide relative to the multiple rollers 1221, and cooperating with the multiple rollers to automatically adjust the position of its own gravity center, and making the straight line where the gravity center of the head 100 is located and the center of the accommodation space extend vertically. That is to say, the head 100 can automatically adjust its circumferential posture according to its own gravity center, with convenient and simple operation and labor saving; at the same time, the setting position of the support member 121 makes the support of the multiple rollers 1221 on the head 100 more stable, effectively preventing the head 100 from tilting during transportation.

[0077] In this embodiment, the roller 1221 is installed on the installation surface at the top of the support member 121, and the axis of the roller 1221 is parallel to the installation surface, so that the roller 1221 is inclined inward from bottom to top. Since any two installation surfaces are symmetrically arranged about the center of the accommodation space, correspondingly, any two rollers 1221 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the accommodation space, so as to limit the degrees of freedom of the head 100 in other directions while ensuring the circumferential degrees of freedom of the head 100, thereby ensuring the stability of the conveying process.

[0078] Each adjusting member 122 further includes a mounting seat 1222 for realizing the installation of the roller 1221. Specifically, the mounting seat 1222 is fixedly connected to the installation surface at the top of the support member 121, and the top of each mounting seat 1222 is open and hollow inside. The roller 1221 is arranged inside the mounting seat 1222, and the roller 1221 protrudes from the top of the mounting seat 1222 and can be attached to the outer circumference of the head 100. At this time, a rotating shaft 1223 passes through the middle of the mounting seat 1222 and the roller 1221 at the same time. Correspondingly, the rotating shaft 1223 is inclined inward from top to bottom to realize the rotatable connection between the roller 1221 and the mounting seat 1222.

[0079] Further, an elastic film layer is wrapped around the outer circumference of each roller 1221. Compared with the direct contact between the roller 1221 and the head 100, the addition of the elastic film layer in this embodiment can effectively prevent scratches on the surface of the head 100 when it is attached to the outer circumference of the head 100, improving the production yield of the head 100; at the same time, the addition of the elastic film layer can increase the friction with the head 100 to prevent the head 100 from sliding randomly and ensure the stability of the conveying process. Among them, the elastic film layer can be an elastic material such as polyurethane.

[0080] Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the number of the adjusting members 122 is also four.

[0081] Further, the adjusting tooling 1 further includes a sliding assembly. The sliding assembly includes sliding members respectively arranged at the bottoms of the support members 121 one by one, for realizing the sliding connection between the support members 121 and the bottom plate 11.

[0082] Among them, the sliding member includes a slide rail 131 and a slider 132 slidably matched with the slide rail 131.

[0083] The slide rail 131 extends linearly, and the extension lines of multiple slide rails 131 intersect, and the straight line where the intersection point and the center of the bottom plate 11 are located extends vertically.

[0084] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sliding member includes four slide rails 131. Among them, two slide rails 131 arranged at intervals are on the same straight line, and the included angle γ between the two straight lines where the four slide rails 131 are located is 45° - 90°, and the four support members 121 are located on the same circumference.

[0085] In this embodiment, two spaced slide rails 131 can be connected to form a long slide rail 131, that is, integrally formed. At this time, the other two slide rails 131 are arranged on opposite sides in the width direction of the long slide rail 131.

[0086] The top of each slide rail 131 is open to form a chute, and each slide rail 131 includes two side walls. In this embodiment, guiding protrusions 1312 are convexly provided on the inner side of each side wall. The guiding protrusions 1312 extend along the length direction of the side wall and are consistent with the length dimension of the side wall. Specifically, the guiding protrusions 1312 are formed by the side wall being recessed inward in the width direction of the slide rail 131.

[0087] A plurality of positioning holes 1311 are arranged at intervals along the length direction on the bottom wall of each slide rail 131. Among them, the positioning holes 1311 on the four slide rails 131 are also arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the circle. For example, two positioning holes 1311 are respectively provided on each slide rail 131, that is, the first positioning hole 1311 and the second positioning hole 1311. At this time, the first positioning holes 1311 on the four slide rails 131 are located on the same circle, and the second positioning holes 1311 on the four slide rails 131 are located on the same circle.

[0088] Among them, the linear distance between each positioning hole 1311 on the slide rail 131 and the intersection point of the two straight lines where the four slide rails 131 are located is determined according to the radius of the head 100 of different sizes, and no more limitations are made here.

[0089] Moreover, among the positioning holes 1311 on the four slide rails 131, the positioning holes 1311 located on different circles are respectively numbered, and the numbers of the positioning holes 1311 located on the same circle need to be the same.

[0090] Each slider 132 is fixed to the bottom of the support member 121, and the slider 132 is located in the chute and can slide relative to the slide rail 131 along its length direction, approaching or moving away from the intersection point of the plurality of slide rails 131. Specifically, guiding grooves 1321 extending along the length direction of the slide rail 131 are provided at the lower parts at both ends in the width direction of each slider 132, and the openings of the two guiding grooves 1321 face away from each other. When the slider 132 is located in the chute, at least part of the guiding protrusions 1312 on the side wall of the slide rail 131 is located in the guiding grooves 1321, so that the slider 132 can slide relative to the slide rail 131 along the guiding protrusions 1312. This setting enables the four support members 121 to slide simultaneously as the corresponding sliders 132 slide, approaching or moving away from each other to quickly adjust the size of the accommodating space, adapting to heads 100 of different sizes, and improving the versatility of the adjusting tooling 1.

[0091] Further, the sliding assembly further includes locking members 133 provided in one-to-one correspondence with the respective sliders 132, which are used to lock the sliders 132 to prevent the sliders 132 from sliding relative to the slide rail 131, so as to quickly define the positions of the sliders 132, the support member 121, and the adjusting member 122, thereby ensuring the stability of the support member 121 and the adjusting member 122, and ensuring the stability of the head 100 during transportation.

[0092] Each locking member 133 includes an eccentric wheel and a handle. Specifically, at this time, a connecting groove with an opening facing downward is formed at the bottom of each slider 132, and the eccentric wheel is located in the connecting groove. The handle passes through the slider 132 and the eccentric wheel at the same time, and the connection point between the handle and the eccentric wheel deviates from the center of the eccentric wheel. Among them, the handle can drive the eccentric wheel to rotate relative to the slider 132, so that the eccentric wheel can extend downward beyond the slider 132 to abut against the bottom wall of the slide rail 131, or can be received in the connecting groove.

[0093] In this embodiment, the handle includes a connecting portion and a rotating portion. The connecting portion passes through the slider 132 and the eccentric wheel at the same time from one end in the width direction of the slider 132. The rotating portion extends radially outward beyond the outer periphery of the connecting portion, and the rotating portion is located outside the width direction of the slide rail 131, and the rotating portion can approach and abut against the outer side wall of the slide rail 131.

[0094] The working principle of the above-mentioned locking member 133 is as follows: when it is necessary to lock the slider 132, by rotating the rotating portion of the handle, the connecting portion drives the eccentric wheel to rotate and extend downward beyond the bottom of the slider 132 to abut against the bottom wall of the slide rail 131. At the same time, the side of the rotating portion close to the connecting portion can approach and abut against the side wall of the slide rail 131. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the support member 121, that is, when it is necessary to unlock the slider 132, at this time, by rotating the rotating portion of the handle in the reverse direction, the connecting portion drives the eccentric wheel to rotate and retract upward into the connecting groove of the slider 132. At the same time, the side of the rotating portion close to the connecting portion moves away from the side wall of the slide rail 131.

[0095] Further, in this embodiment, the sliding assembly further includes positioning members 134 provided in one-to-one correspondence with the respective sliders 132, which are used to cooperate with the locking members 133 to position the position of the slider 132 relative to the slide rail 131, so as to adapt to the quick switching of different models of heads 100.

[0096] Specifically, each positioning member 134 includes a positioning seat 1341 provided at one end of the slide rail 131 in the length direction and a positioning pin 1342 vertically passing through the positioning seat 1341. The positioning pin 1342 can move vertically relative to the positioning seat 1341 to enter or exit the positioning holes 1311 on the bottom wall of the slide rail 131. Among them, when positioning the slider 132, the four positioning members 134 need to be inserted into the four positioning holes 1311 located on the same circumference.

[0097] Furthermore, the adjustment tooling 1 is provided with identification tags to facilitate real-time traceability and recording of data, which is convenient for data recording, analysis, feedback, etc. during the production and conveying processes of the entire production line. Specifically, the identification tags are provided on the bottom plate 11. The identification tags can be recognizable tags such as RFID, QR codes, etc.

[0098] The working principle of the above production equipment is as follows:

[0099] First, place the adjustment tooling 1 on the conveying chain and start the conveying chain. When the conveying chain drives the adjustment tooling 1 to move horizontally to the position where the stopper is located, the stopper rises relative to the guide rail and extends upward beyond the top of the guide rail and is inserted into the groove 111 on the bottom plate 11 of the adjustment tooling 1 to limit the continuous movement of the adjustment tooling 1.

[0100] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, then, according to the outer dimension of the head 100, adjust the dimension of the accommodating space formed by enclosing four support members 121. Specifically, first unlock the slider 132, that is: by rotating the rotating part of the handle of the locking member 133, the connecting part drives the eccentric wheel to rotate and is received upward in the connecting groove of the slider 132. At the same time, the side of the rotating part close to the connecting part is far from the side wall of the slide rail 131. At the same time, pull up the positioning pin 1342 of the positioning member 134 to make it move upward and withdraw from the positioning hole 1311 on the bottom wall of the slide rail 131. Then make the four support members 121 and the adjusting member 122 slide along the length direction of the slide rail 131 simultaneously with the slider 132 to approach or move away from each other to realize the adjustment of the dimension of the accommodating space.

[0101] Then, after the dimension of the accommodating space is adjusted, that is, when each support member 121 moves with the slider 132 to the position where the positioning member 134 is above the positioning hole 1311 matching the dimension of the head 100, loosen the positioning pin 1342 to make it move downward and insert into the corresponding positioning hole 1311. Then rotate the rotating part of the handle of the locking member 133 in the reverse direction, so that the connecting part of the handle drives the eccentric wheel of the locking member 133 to rotate and extend downward beyond the bottom of the slider 132 and abut against the bottom wall of the slide rail 131. At the same time, the side of the rotating part close to the connecting part can approach and abut against the side wall of the slide rail 131, and cooperate with the positioning member 134 to realize the limit of the slider 132.

[0102] Then, by means of a transfer device or the like, the head 100 is placed with its opening facing upward at the accommodating space. At this time, the rollers 1221 of the four adjusting members 122 are in contact with and support the outer periphery of the head 100. Under the action of its own center of gravity, the head 100 has a tendency to rotate or slide relative to the rollers 1221, driving the plurality of rollers 1221 to rotate relative to the bottom plate 11 or slide relative to the plurality of rollers 1221, and cooperating with the plurality of rollers to automatically adjust its own circumferential attitude, so that the straight line where the center of gravity of the head 100 and the center of the accommodating space are located extends vertically. During this process, the rollers 1221 of the adjusting member 122 can rotate along with the rotation of the head 100, facilitating the circumferential rotation of the head 100, and the operation is convenient and simple.

[0103] After binding the identification label on the bottom plate 11 with the relevant information of the corresponding head 100 carried, the stopper is lowered to completely withdraw from the groove 111 on the bottom plate 11, so that the adjusting tooling 1 continues to move horizontally along the conveyor chain to the next operation point. And during the subsequent conveying process, the head 100 can continuously drive the plurality of rollers 1221 to rotate relative to the bottom plate 11 or slide relative to the plurality of rollers 1221 according to its own center of gravity, so as to automatically adjust its circumferential attitude to ensure that the straight line where its center of gravity and the center of the accommodating space are located extends vertically.

[0104] Embodiment 2

[0105] Figure 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the adjusting tooling 2 in this embodiment, Figure 6 is a schematic working state diagram of the adjusting tooling 2 in this embodiment.

[0106] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 . The solution of Embodiment 2 is roughly the same as that of Embodiment 1, and the difference lies in the number and arrangement of the support components and the sliding components.

[0107] In this embodiment, the support component includes three support members 221 and three adjusting members 222. Among them, the three support members 221 are located on the same circumference.

[0108] Adaptively, the number of the slide rails 231 and the sliders 232 is three. Among them, the included angle β between the straight lines where the two slide rails 231 are located ranges from 45° to 120°, and the symmetry axis of the above two slide rails 231 is on the same straight line as the other slide rail 231.

[0109] In other embodiments, the number of the support members 221 may also be 5, 6 or other numbers. At this time, adaptively, the numbers of the adjusting member 122, the slide rails 231 and the sliders 232 are consistent with that of the support members 221. For example, when the number of the support members 221 is 5, the numbers of the adjusting member 222, the slide rails 231 and the sliders 232 are also 5. At this time, the included angles between any two adjacent slide rails 231 are the same. When the number of the support members 221 is 6, the numbers of the adjusting member 222, the slide rails 231 and the sliders 232 are also 6. At this time, the included angles between any two adjacent slide rails 231 are the same. Multiple slide rails 231 can also be arranged according to actual needs, that is, the angles between two adjacent slide rails 231 are set.

[0110] The working principle of the production equipment in this embodiment can refer to Embodiment 1. Moreover, other structures such as the bottom plate 21, the locking member 233, the positioning member 234, etc. in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and the description in Embodiment 1 can be referred to and will not be elaborated here.

[0111] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the present invention has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0112] In the above adjustment tooling, by arranging an adjustment assembly on the bottom plate, wherein, the accommodating space formed by enclosing at least three support members can limit the position of the head, and the rollers of the adjusting member can be attached to and support the outer periphery of the head. At this time, under the action of its own gravity center, the head has a tendency to rotate or slide relative to the rollers, and drives the multiple rollers to rotate relative to the bottom plate or slide relative to the multiple rollers, and cooperate with the multiple rollers to automatically adjust the circumferential posture of the head, and the operation is convenient and simple.

[0113] Furthermore, any two adjacent rollers are symmetrically arranged about the center of the accommodating space, and can limit the degrees of freedom of the head in other directions while ensuring the circumferential degrees of freedom of the head, thereby ensuring the stability of the conveying process.

[0114] Furthermore, an elastic film layer is wrapped on the outer periphery of each roller. When it is attached to the outer periphery of the head, it can effectively prevent the surface of the head from being scratched and improve the production yield of the head; adding the elastic film layer can increase the friction force with the head to prevent the head from sliding randomly and ensure the stability of the conveying process.

[0115] Furthermore, each support member is slidably connected to the bottom plate through a sliding member, so that at least three support members can slide relative to the slide rails of the sliding member simultaneously with the slider of the sliding member, and approach or separate from each other to adjust the size of the accommodating space, and adapt to heads of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the adjustment tooling.

[0116] Further, the sliding assembly further includes locking members provided in one-to-one correspondence with the respective sliders, which are used to lock the sliders to prevent the sliders from sliding relative to the slide rail during transportation, and limit the positions of the sliders, the support members and the adjusting members, thereby ensuring the stability of the support members and the adjusting members, and ensuring the stability of the head during transportation.

[0117] Further, the sliding assembly further includes positioning members provided in one-to-one correspondence with the respective sliders, which are used to cooperate with the locking members to position the sliders relative to the slide rail, so as to be able to adapt to the rapid switching of different types of heads.

[0118] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several exemplary embodiments, it should be understood that the terms used are illustrative and exemplary, rather than restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be broadly construed within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
