Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of spherical head manufacturing equipment, and more particularly to an L-shaped head assembly frame for segmented processing of spherical heads. Background Technology

[0002] An end cap is a component used to seal the end of a container, isolating it from the internal and external media. Based on the shape of its surface, end caps can be classified as convex, conical, flat, and composite. Convex end caps refer to those with a convex outer surface, such as spherical, elliptical, dished, and edgeless spherical end caps. There are two main methods for processing spherical end caps: one is to directly apply extrusion pressure to the sheet metal to form the cap; the other is to stamp multiple sheet metals together and then weld them together. The second method offers higher forming precision and is suitable for larger spherical end caps and more delicate equipment.

[0003] In the production process of spherical end caps for melon slices, the melon slices of the end cap need to be supported and welded. Generally, a segmented assembly frame for end cap processing is used. However, there is still some room for improvement in the existing segmented assembly frame for end cap processing. The assembly frame is usually fixed, and during welding, it is necessary to manually move around the assembly frame and find the position and angle to perform inner and outer welding, which increases the welding difficulty. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an L-shaped head assembly frame for segmented processing of spherical heads, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art.

The top fixing baffle is installed on the upper part of the petal fixing frame, and a locking interface is opened on the inner side of the top fixing baffle. A slider is provided on the lower end face of the petal fixing base, and a slide rail adapted to the slider is provided on the upper part of the base. A protrusion is fixed above one end of the petal fixing base near the center of the base, and an arc-shaped slide groove matching the protrusion is opened on the bottom layer below the corresponding position of the protrusion. The protrusion is slidably connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped slide groove at the corresponding position.

[0009] The aforementioned swing support assembly includes a support frame, an L-shaped swing arm, a swing motor, and a transverse cantilever.

The upper end of the L-shaped swing arm is provided with a swing motor that drives the swing arm to swing, and the swing motor is mounted on the support frame. The lower end of the L-shaped swing arm extends to the bottom of the base and is connected to the base. A transverse cantilever extends from the upper end of the L-shaped swing arm and is located above the base. The transverse cantilever is connected to the upper end of the internal fixing assembly.

[0010] The above also includes a rotary motor, the output shaft of which is connected to the base and the rotating disk respectively.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and the specific implementation can be determined according to the technical solution of the present invention and the actual situation.

[0024] In this invention, for ease of description, the description of the relative positions of the components is based on the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 The layout is described using a diagrammatic method, such as the positional relationships of front, back, top, bottom, left, and right, which are based on the instructions attached. Figure 1 The orientation of the layout is determined by the direction of the map.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0026] like Figure 1-9As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an L-shaped end cap assembly frame for segmented processing of spherical end caps, including a base 1, a rotating disk 2, an internal fixing component 3, a spherical petal fixing component 4, and a swing support component 5. The rotating disk 2, which rotates with the base 1, is arranged at the center of the base 1. The internal fixing component 3 is arranged above the rotating disk 2, and multiple spherical petal fixing components 4 are arranged around the rotating disk 2. The swing support component 5 is arranged on the outside of the base 1. The base 1, the rotating disk 2, the internal fixing component 3, and the spherical petal fixing component 4 swing simultaneously under the drive of the swing support component 5.

[0027] During operation, the spherical crown 8 of the spherical head is placed above the rotating disk 2, so that the inner side of the spherical petal 7 contacts and is fixed with the internal fixing component 3, and the upper part of the spherical petal 7 contacts and is fixed with the spherical petal fixing component 4. Then, the swing support component 5 moves, driving the spherical head to move, thereby welding the spherical head at various positions and angles.

[0028] The aforementioned internal fixing component 3 and spherical lobe fixing component 4 are used to fix the spherical crown 8 and spherical lobe 7, keeping the device stationary for external welding; the swing support component 5 is used to drive the spherical head to swing, and when the external welding is completed, the position can be adjusted to perform internal welding; the base 1 and rotating disk 2 are used to rotate the spherical head to complete the welding of different welds; at the same time, by rotating and swinging the spherical head, the position and angle of the spherical head can be changed, which facilitates welding for workers and reduces the welding difficulty.

[0029] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the internal fixing component 3 includes a threaded rod 31, a rotating ring 32, a connecting rod 33, and an internal fixing baffle 34; the upper center of the base 1 is provided with a threaded rod 31, the lower end of the threaded rod 31 is screwed with a rotating ring 32, and multiple connecting rods 33 are evenly distributed around the outside of the rotating ring 32 in a circumferential direction. The multiple connecting rods 33 are distributed in an umbrella shape with smaller top and larger bottom, and each connecting rod 33 is provided with an internal fixing baffle 34 at its lower end.

[0030] The internal fixed baffle 34 is tilted at a certain angle so that it fits into the inside of the end cap. When the rotating ring 32 is rotated, the internal fixed baffle 34 also rises and falls accordingly.

[0031] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the rotating disk 2 includes a bottom layer 21, a small ring 22 and a large ring 23; the bottom layer 21 is circular, a small ring 22 is provided in the center above the bottom layer 21, and a large ring 23 is provided above the bottom layer 21 with a height above the small ring 22 and an outer diameter the same as the outer diameter of the bottom layer 21.

[0032] The diameter of the large ring 23 is larger than that of the small ring 22. By placing the spherical crown 8 on the small ring 22, the connection between the spherical crown 8 and the spherical petal 7 is located on the large ring 23, which facilitates the placement of the spherical crown 8 and the spherical petal 7.

[0033] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the petal fixing assembly 4 includes a petal fixing base 41, a petal fixing frame 42, a top fixing baffle 43, and a locking interface 44. The petal fixing base 41 is slidably disposed above the base 1, and a vertical petal fixing frame 42 is fixedly disposed above the petal fixing base 41. The top fixing baffle 43 is installed on the upper part of the petal fixing frame 42, and a locking interface 44 is opened on the inner side of the top fixing baffle 43. A slider is provided on the lower end face of the petal fixing base 41, and a slide rail 45 adapted to the slider is provided on the upper part of the base 1. A protrusion 46 is fixed above one end of the petal fixing base 41 near the center of the base 1. An arc-shaped groove 47 matching the protrusion 46 is opened below the bottom layer 21 corresponding to the position of the protrusion 46, and the protrusion 46 is slidably connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped groove 47 at the corresponding position.

[0034] The card interface 44 is used to fix the ball petal 7; the ball petal fixing components 4 are arranged radially and evenly above the base 1. The ball petal fixing base 41 realizes the telescopic movement of the ball petal fixing components 4 through the cooperation of the protrusion 46 and the arc-shaped sliding groove 47, which facilitates the fixing of the ball crown 8; at the same time, through the top fixing baffle 43 and the card interface 44 installed on the ball petal fixing frame 42, the height of the top fixing baffle 43 can be adjusted by moving the top fixing baffle 43 up and down.

[0035] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the swing support assembly 5 includes a support frame 51, an L-shaped swing arm 52, a swing motor 53, and a transverse cantilever 54. The support frame 51 is provided on the outer side of the base 1. The L-shaped swing arm 52 is provided on the side of the support frame 51 near the base 1. The upper end of the L-shaped swing arm 52 is provided with a swing motor 53 that drives the L-shaped swing arm 52 to swing. The swing motor 53 is mounted on the support frame 51. The lower end of the L-shaped swing arm 52 extends to the bottom of the base 1 and is connected to the base 1. The upper end of the L-shaped swing arm 52 extends into a transverse cantilever 54 located above the base 1. The transverse cantilever 54 is connected to the upper end of the internal fixing assembly 3.

[0036] During operation, the swing motor 53 drives the L-shaped swing arm 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the base 1, rotating disc 2, internal fixing component 3 and ball petal fixing component 4 to swing simultaneously under the drive of the swing support component 5, making it convenient for workers to perform internal welding. The L-shaped swing arm 52 includes a horizontal part and a vertical part that are perpendicular to each other. One end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped swing arm 52 extends to the bottom of the base 1 and is connected to the base 1. The upper end of the vertical part of the L-shaped swing arm 52 extends into a horizontal cantilever 54 closer to the base 1. One end of the horizontal cantilever 54 located above the base 1 is connected to the upper end of the threaded rod 31, thereby facilitating the movement of the L-shaped swing arm 52 and driving the internal fixing component 3 to move.

[0037] like Figure 5 , 8As shown, it also includes a rotary motor 6, the output shaft of which is connected to the base 1 and the rotating disk 2 respectively. Thus, during inner welding, the rotary motor 6 can drive the base 1 and the rotating disk 2 to rotate, thereby driving the spherical head to rotate, which facilitates the welding of different weld seams.

[0038] The specific working process of this invention is as follows:

[0039] First, select a rotating disk 2 of appropriate specifications according to the size of the spherical head, and at the same time adjust the height of the internal fixing baffle 34 to fix the spherical crown 8 (e.g., Figure 5 (As shown); place the spherical head petal 7 on the assembly frame, adjust the top fixing baffle 43 to the appropriate position and fix it to complete the assembly of the spherical head (as shown). Figure 7 (As shown); After the spherical head is assembled, welding can be performed. First, the outer side is welded, keeping the device stationary during this process. Once the outer side welding is complete, the position of the L-shaped swing arm 52 can be adjusted via the swing motor 53 to perform the inner side welding (as shown). Figure 9 (As shown); during the inner welding, the spherical head can be rotated by the rotary motor 6 below the base 1 to complete the welding of different weld seams.

[0040] In summary, this invention fixes the spherical crown 8 and spherical petals 7 by setting an internal fixing component 3 and a spherical petal fixing component 4, keeping the device stationary for external welding; it sets a swing support component 5 to drive the spherical head to swing, and when the external welding is completed, the position of the L-shaped swing arm 52 can be adjusted by a motor to perform internal welding; it sets a rotatable base 1 and a rotating disk 2 to rotate the spherical head to complete the welding of different welds; by rotating and swinging the spherical head, the position and angle of the spherical head can be changed, which solves the problem that the existing assembly frame for fixing the head requires manual searching around the assembly frame to find the welding position and angle, which increases the welding difficulty, making welding easier for workers and reducing the welding difficulty.
