Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic capping machines, in particular to a novel automatic capping machine capable of self-adapting to valve cover sizes. Background Art

[0002] The valve cover is a valve part equipped with a valve stem seal, which is used to connect or support the actuator. Threaded connection is a common way to connect the valve body and the valve cover. This connection method is characterized by simple connection, convenient disassembly, and easy maintenance. At the same time, the threaded connection also has good sealing performance and can be used in some low-pressure and small-caliber occasions. This connection method can use an automatic capping machine to tighten the valve cover to the valve body.

[0003] There are some regular valve covers such as circles or regular polygons. When used in different environments or installed on different types of valve bodies, the sizes are not exactly the same. The surface of the valve cover is usually set to an internal thread, and the opening where the valve body and the valve cover are connected is usually set to an external thread. The thread is spirally arranged, not horizontal. When the valve cover is directly placed on the valve body, the internal thread and the external thread contact each other, so that the valve cover will be slightly tilted along the height difference of a single circle of the thread. If the valve cover is rotated directly, it will not be able to be tightened, resulting in failure of the valve cover installation. For this reason, it is necessary to design a new automatic capping machine with adaptive valve cover size. Summary of the invention

The annular groove 15 is for the positioning plate 11 to be embedded. Since the annular groove 15 is annular, the second support rod 14 can be rotated at any angle, and the positioning plate 11 can be embedded in the annular groove 15 and connected through the reinforcing plate 10, which can reduce the risk of low strength and easy breakage of the first support rod 5 and the second support rod 14 connected by simply using the rolling ball 12 and the connecting block 13, and increase the strength of the connection between the first support rod 5 and the second support rod 14.

[0048] Furthermore, the valve body clamping assembly includes a first electric push rod 2 and a clamping plate 3, the first electric push rod 2 is fixedly installed on the surface of the support frame 1, and the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 2 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 3, the first electric push rod 2 pushes the clamping plate 3 to move toward the valve body, thereby clamping the valve body, a second electric push rod 4 is installed at the center position of the top bottom surface of the support frame 1, and the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 4 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the first support rod 5, a third motor 48 is fixedly installed at the center position of the bottom surface of the second support rod 14, and a third support rod 16 is fixedly installed at the output end of the third motor 48, a fourth support rod 18 is fixedly installed at the center position of the bottom surface of the third support rod 16, a protective shell 22 is fixedly installed on the surface of the fourth support rod 18, and the bottom center position of the fourth support rod 18 is fixedly installed A correction block 47 is installed, and the third support rod 16 is driven to rotate by starting the third motor 48, and the third support rod 16 drives the fourth support rod 18 to rotate, so that the protective shell 22 rotates, and the first motor 17 is fixedly installed between the third support rod 16 and the fourth support rod 18, and the surface of the fourth support rod 18 is rotatably connected with the first bevel gear 19, and the output end of the first motor 17 is fixedly connected with the first bevel gear 19, and one end of each threaded rod 21 is fixedly installed with a second bevel gear 20, and each second bevel gear 20 is rotatably connected with the protective shell 22, and each second bevel gear 20 is meshed with the first bevel gear 19, and the first motor 17 is started to drive the first bevel gear 19 to rotate, and the rotation of the first bevel gear 19 causes the second bevel gear 20 to rotate, and the second bevel gear 20 drives the threaded rod 21 to rotate;

[0049] Specifically, the valve body is placed on the surface of the support frame 1, and two symmetrically arranged first electric push rods 2 are started at the same time to drive the two clamping plates 3 to move toward each other until the two clamping plates 3 clamp the valve body, and then the valve cover is placed on the valve body, and the second electric push rod 4 is started to extend to drive the first support rod 5, the second support rod 14, the third motor 48, the first motor 17, the fourth support rod 18, the protective shell 22, and the correction block 47 to move downward until one side of the correction block 47 contacts the valve cover, and then the third electric push rod 6 is started to extend to drive the L-shaped rod 7 to move downward. When the telescopic end of the third electric push rod 6 touches the toggle block 9, the continued extension will push the toggle block 9 to rotate along The track rotation of the groove 8 and the rotation of the toggle block 9 will drive the reinforcing plate 10 to expand outward and drive the positioning plate 11 to move out of the annular groove 15. At this time, through the connection between the rolling ball 12 and the first support rod 5, the first support rod 5 and the second support rod 14 can rotate freely. When the valve cover is placed on the valve body and is tilted, the correction block 47 contacts the valve cover and continues to move downward to make its bottom surface flush with the surface of the valve cover. At this time, in order to adapt to the tilt of the valve cover, under the connection relationship between the rolling ball 12 and the first support rod 5, the second support rod 14, the third motor 48, the first motor 17, the fourth support rod 18, and the protective shell 22 will follow the correction block 47 to tilt adaptively;

[0050] By starting the first motor 17, the first bevel gear 19 is driven to rotate, and the first bevel gear 19 drives the multiple second bevel gears 20 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the multiple second bevel gears 20 respectively drives the multiple threaded rods 21 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the threaded rods 21 and the moving ring 23, the rotation of the multiple threaded rods 21 drives the multiple moving rings 23 to move toward the valve cover at the same time. The movement of the moving ring 23 drives the valve cover fixing assembly to move until the valve cover fixing assembly clamps the valve cover;

[0051] Then, the second electric push rod 4 is retracted, so that the valve cover fixing assembly moves upward with the valve cover. When the valve cover leaves the valve body, the second support rod 14, the third motor 48, the first motor 17, the fourth support rod 18, the protective shell 22, and the correction block 47 will droop vertically due to gravity. At this time, the third electric push rod 6 is retracted, driving the L-shaped rod 7 to press against the bottom surface of the rolling ball 12, restricting the movement of the rolling ball 12, so that the relative position between the first support rod 5 and the second support rod 14 is fixed, and the third electric push rod 6 will be separated from the toggle block 9 when retracted, and the reinforcing plate 10 and the positioning plate 11 will be closed under the action of gravity, and the positioning plate 11 will be embedded in the annular groove 15;

[0052] Then, the second electric push rod 4 is extended to move the valve cover onto the valve body, and the third motor 48 is started to drive the first motor 17, the fourth support rod 18, the protective shell 22, the correction block 47, the valve cover fixing assembly, and the valve cover to rotate, so that the valve cover is installed on the valve body;

[0053] Furthermore, the valve cover installation assembly includes a plurality of fixed blocks 31 rotatably connected to each other, one end of each fixed block 31 is fixedly connected to the first rotating block 30, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second rotating block 33, the second rotating block 33 on each fixed block 31 is rotatably connected to the first rotating block 30 on another fixed block 31, the surface of the second rotating block 33 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 34, and the rotating shaft 34 moves through the surface of the first rotating block 30, each fixed block 31 rotates with respect to the rotating shaft 34 as the axis, and the surface of the first rotating block 30 A return torsion spring 36 is fixedly connected, and one end of the return torsion spring 36 is fixedly connected to the second rotating block 33, so that the fixed block 31 can be reset under the elastic force of the return torsion spring 36 after losing pressure. The top of the first rotating block 30 is fixedly connected to a telescopic sleeve 29, and the top of the telescopic sleeve 29 is connected to a telescopic rod 27 that can move up and down. The surface of the telescopic rod 27 is fixedly connected to a push rod 28. The surface of the first rotating block 30 is movably connected to a pressing block 37 that can contact the push rod 28, and one end of the pressing block 37 is an inclined surface. The surface of the rotating shaft 34 The first rotating block 30 is fixedly connected with a friction ring 35, and the pressing block 37 can contact the friction ring 35. By moving the push rod 28 downward, the pressing block 37 is pushed to press against the friction ring 35 to limit the rotation of the rotating shaft 34, so that the two fixed blocks 31 are fixed to each other. The surface of the first rotating block 30 is fixedly connected with a sliding block 38. The surface of the pressing block 37 is matched with a sliding groove 40 for the sliding block 38 to slide, and a reset spring 39 is fixedly connected between the inner wall of the sliding groove 40 and the sliding block 38. By setting the reset spring 39, the pressing block 37 can be reset after losing pressure. Automatic reset, the upper end of each telescopic rod 27 is fixedly connected to a pressing rod 26, and a connecting plate 25 is rotatably connected between every two pressing rods 26. The bottom end of each movable ring 23 is fixedly connected to a fourth electric push rod 24 placed vertically, and the output end of the fourth electric push rod 24 is fixedly connected to the pressing rod 26 located in the middle, and the surface of each fixed block 31 is fixedly connected to a friction pad 32. By setting the connecting plate 25, when the fourth electric push rod 24 is extended to press down one of the pressing rods 26, the remaining pressing rods 26 will also move downward;

[0054] Specifically, when the valve cover mounting assembly is driven by the moving ring 23 to move toward the valve cover, the outermost fixed block 31 on it will be blocked after contacting the valve cover, and will rotate with the adjacent second fixed block 31, and the reset torsion spring 36 will be twisted to store elastic potential energy. At this time, the connecting plate 25 and the lower pressure rod 26 will also rotate until the second fixed block 31 contacts the valve cover, and then it will be blocked, so that it will rotate with the adjacent third fixed block 31 until the third fixed block 31 contacts the valve cover, and the above phenomenon will be repeated until all the fixed blocks 31 contact the valve cover, and the friction pad 32 can increase the friction between the fixed block 31 and the valve cover, and then the first motor 17 is turned off to stop the movement of the moving ring 23.

[0055] By starting the fourth electric push rod 24 to extend, the connecting plate 25 and the pressing rod 26 are driven to move downward. Due to the large friction between the fixed block 31 and the valve cover, the downward movement of the pressing rod 26 will bring the telescopic rod 27 downward, and the telescopic rod 27 will drive the pushing rod 28 downward. After the pushing rod 28 moves downward and touches the pressing block 37, it will push the pressing block 37 to move toward the friction ring 35, so that the sliding block 38 moves along the track of the sliding groove 40 and compresses the return spring 39 to store elastic potential energy until it abuts against the surface of the friction ring 35, limiting the rotation between the second rotating block 33 and the first rotating block 30, so that the fixing blocks 31 are fixed to each other, thereby fixing the valve cover. At this time, when the rotating valve cover fixing assembly drives the valve cover to rotate, the fixing blocks 31 rotate relative to each other, resulting in an unstable fixation of the valve cover.

[0056] When the valve cover is installed, the fourth electric push rod 24 is started to retract, and the push rod 28 is moved upward, and the pressing block 37 is reset under the elastic force of the reset spring 39. When the fixed block 31 is separated from the valve cover, the fixed block 31 is retracted inward and reset under the elastic force of the reset torsion spring 36.

[0057] Embodiment 2:

[0058] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 10 to 12 The novel automatic capping machine with adaptive valve cover size disclosed in the second embodiment of the present invention has a structure that is basically the same as that in the first embodiment, except that the valve cover mounting assembly includes a plurality of friction blocks 42, the bottom end of each movable ring 23 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 41, the bottom end of each connecting rod 41 is fixedly connected to one of the friction blocks 42, a positioning frame 45 is fixedly connected to the surface of one of the connecting rods 41, one end of the positioning frame 45 is fixedly connected to an unwinding frame 44, a second motor 46 is fixedly connected to the surface of the unwinding frame 44, and the output end of the second motor 46 is fixedly connected to the reel on the unwinding frame 44, a tension rope 43 is strung between each friction block 42, and the end of the tension rope 43 is fixed to the reel of the unwinding frame 44;

[0059] The present solution is specifically as follows: when the valve cover installation assembly is driven by the moving ring 23 to move toward the valve cover, the moving ring 23 drives the connecting rod 41 to move, and the connecting rod 41 drives the friction block 42, the unwinding frame 44, and the positioning frame 45 installed on the connecting rod 41 to move, and the other friction blocks 42 are also moved toward the direction of the valve cover under the traction of the tension rope 43. When all the friction blocks 42 installed on the connecting rod 41 are in contact with the valve cover, the tension rope 43 is tightened by starting the second motor 46 to reel, and all the friction blocks 42 are in contact with the valve cover under the pulling of the tension rope 43, so as to fix the valve cover;

[0060] A method for using a new type of automatic capping machine with adaptive valve cover size, the specific steps are as follows:

[0061] A. Place the valve body on the surface of the support frame 1, and start the two first electric push rods 2 at the same time, driving the two clamping plates 3 to move towards each other, clamp the valve body, and place the valve cover on the valve body;

[0062] B. Start the second electric push rod 4 to extend, and before the correction block 47 contacts the valve cover, start the third electric push rod 6 to extend, so that the reinforcement plate 10 is expanded outward, and the positioning plate 11 is moved out of the annular groove 15, and then the third electric push rod 6 is stopped;

[0063] C. Then the correction block 47 contacts the valve cover until the bottom surface is flush with the valve cover surface. The second support rod 14, the third motor 48, the first motor 17, the fourth support rod 18 and the protective shell 22 will follow the correction block 47 to adjust the valve cover tilt angle, and the second electric push rod 4 will stop.

[0064] D. Then, the first motor 17 is started to drive the threaded rod 21 to rotate, so that the moving ring 23 moves toward the valve cover and drives the valve cover fixing assembly to move until the valve cover fixing assembly fixes the valve cover;

[0065] E. Then, the second electric push rod 4 is started to retract, so that the valve cover leaves the valve body. At this time, the third electric push rod 6 is started to retract, driving the L-shaped rod 7 to press against the bottom surface of the rolling ball 12, and the positioning plate 11 is automatically embedded in the annular groove 15 under gravity;

[0066] F. Finally, the second electric push rod 4 is started to extend, the valve cover is moved to the valve body, and the third motor 48 is started to rotate the valve cover fixing assembly and the valve cover, and the valve cover is installed on the valve body.
