Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a canning device, and more particularly to a silicon material canning device. Background Technology

[0002] Silicon, as an important industrial raw material, has a wide range of applications in industrial production. Currently, silicon is primarily packaged in cans, with each can weighing over 150 kg, and the total weight including the can itself reaching 250 kg. Currently, the filling of silicon cans is mainly done by robotic arms lifting the can to the opening, while manual handling of individual cans is the primary method, resulting in low work efficiency. Furthermore, silicon cans are elongated and slender, reaching heights of over 2.5 meters. When the robotic arm loads silicon into the can, the height of the can causes the silicon to impact the bottom as it falls, easily leading to deformation of the can's base. Summary of the Invention

[0042] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a silicon material canning device includes:

[0044] frame;

[0045] A lifting platform, which is capable of moving up and down on the frame;

[0046] The main hopper is capable of moving back and forth on the lifting platform; the main hopper and the lifting platform are connected via a vibrating feeder.

[0047] The second hopper frame is mounted on the second hopper frame base plate. The second hopper frame base plate can move up and down on the frame, and the second hopper frame can move back and forth on the second hopper frame base plate.

[0048] The second hopper can move left and right on the second hopper frame;

[0049] A silicon material tank rack, in which silicon material tanks are placed, and the silicon material tank rack is tiltable toward the lifting platform;

[0050] Six silicon material tanks are provided, arranged in two rows.

[0051] The main hopper is used to lift the silicon material to a certain height and feed it into one row of silicon material tanks via a vibrating feeder. The second hopper acts as an intermediate transfer device, feeding the silicon material from the main hopper into the second row of silicon material tanks.

[0052] To achieve the movement of the main hopper and the second hopper, as well as the tilting of the silicon material tank, this embodiment employs the following specific structure. For example... Figure 8-11 As shown, a lifting motor is installed on the frame, and a first lifting sprocket and a second lifting sprocket are fixedly connected to the lifting motor. A first chain and a second chain are respectively installed on the first and second lifting sprockets. One end of each chain is fixed to the top of the lifting platform, and the other end is fixed to the top of the counterweight box. The first chain is fixed above the front of the lifting platform, and the second chain is fixed above the rear of the lifting platform. The first and second chains move the lifting platform together from both front and rear directions. Figure 9-11 As shown, the second chain is more specifically configured as follows: the second chain is fixed to the top of the lifting platform after passing through a first idler wheel, a second idler wheel located at the bottom of the frame, and a third idler wheel located at the top of the frame.

[0053] like Figure 9-11As shown, a third lifting sprocket and a fourth lifting sprocket are provided below the frame. The third and fourth lifting sprockets are respectively fitted with third and fourth chains. One end of the third and fourth chains is fixed to the bottom of the lifting platform, and the other end is fixed to the bottom of the counterweight box.

[0054] like Figure 9-10 As shown, the fourth chain is fixed to the lifting platform via a fourth idler wheel located at the bottom of the frame. There are two sets of each of the aforementioned lifting sprockets, chains, and idler wheels, symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the lifting platform.

[0055] By installing chains above and below the lifting platform, the platform's ascent and descent are driven by tension, ensuring smooth operation and avoiding potential vibrations caused by guide rail inaccuracies when only one side pulls the other under gravity. This prevents silicon material from falling due to vibration during lifting. This also allows for an open main hopper, reducing costs. If vibration occurs during lifting, the main hopper would need a four-sided enclosed structure, requiring one side to be open during feeding, necessitating additional mechanisms and increasing costs.

[0056] like Figure 8 As shown, the main hopper is mounted on a hopper platform. The forward and backward movement of the main hopper is achieved by a main hopper front and rear motor fixed to the hopper platform, which meshes with a main hopper front and rear rack fixed to the frame via gears. The main hopper front and rear motors are fixed to the hopper platform, and the main hopper front and rear racks are fixed to the frame. When the main hopper front and rear motors operate, the gears roll on the main hopper front and rear racks, thereby driving the main hopper to move forward and backward.

[0057] The left and right movement of the main hopper is achieved by the left and right motors of the main hopper, which are fixed to the lifting platform, driving the hopper platform through the left and right toothed belts of the main hopper. The left and right motors of the main hopper are fixed to the frame, and the left and right toothed belts of the main hopper are fixed to the hopper platform. When the left and right motors of the main hopper drive the left and right toothed belts of the main hopper to rotate, the hopper platform moves left and right accordingly.

[0058] like Figure 12 As shown, the vertical movement of the second hopper frame on the machine frame is achieved by upper and lower cylinders. The cylinder body of the upper and lower cylinders is fixed to the machine frame, and the rod body of the upper and lower cylinders is fixed to the bottom plate of the second hopper frame. Figure 12 As shown, the second hopper is connected to the second hopper frame via a rodless cylinder to enable left and right movement of the second hopper. The cylinder body of the rodless cylinder is fixed to the second hopper frame, and the moving part is fixed to the second hopper.

[0059] like Figure 12As shown, the forward and backward movement of the second hopper frame on the frame is achieved by the front and rear motors of the second hopper. The front and rear motors of the second hopper are fixed to the bottom plate of the second hopper frame and drive the front and rear toothed belts of the second hopper to rotate through the second hopper gear. The front and rear toothed belts of the second hopper are fixed to the second hopper frame.

[0060] like Figure 13 As shown, the silicon material tank rack includes a base, a frame, a tilting motor, a tilting screw, and a tilting nut. The tilting motor is fixed to the base, the tilting nut is fixed to the frame, and the tilting screw engages with the tilting nut. The tilting motor drives the tilting screw to rotate, thereby causing the frame, which is fixed to the nut, to rotate. The overall working process of this invention is as follows:

[0061] Step 1: Place the main hopper under the frame;

[0062] Step 2: Load silicon material into the main hopper;

[0063] Step 3: Raise the main hopper above the frame;

[0064] Step 4: Move the main hopper to the left and position it above the opening of the silicon material tank;

[0065] Step 5: Tilt the silicon material can rack;

[0066] Step 6: Start the vibrating feeder to feed part of the silicon material in the main hopper into the silicon material tank;

[0067] Step 7: Verticalize the silicon material tank rack; continue feeding the silicon material from the main hopper into the silicon material tank.

[0068] In steps 6 and 7, the silicon material in the main hopper can also be fed into the second hopper tank.

[0069] The order of the above steps is not unique. As long as the loading function is satisfied, the order can be adjusted. For example, step 5 can be in any position among steps 1-4, or it can be integrated into steps 1-4.

[0070] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
