An IoT vacuum glove box

Abstract

This invention relates to an IoT vacuum glove box, comprising a vacuum glove box body and a storage box fixedly connected to its side. The vacuum glove box body is equipped with a flipping mechanism for changing the horizontal angle of experimental items or materials, and the storage box is equipped with a conveying mechanism for adding longer experimental items or materials. A blocking block is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the storage box. As the flipping plate continues to move towards the rotating plate, the blocking block obstructs the top of the L-shaped plate, causing the L-shaped plate to flip. This provides a pushing force to the transmission rollers and support frame, thereby providing a pushing force to the push plate, causing longer experimental items or materials on the placement plate to extend beyond the placement plate, improving the efficiency of manual handling. This process avoids disrupting the vacuum environment inside the vacuum glove box, preventing any impact on its normal working efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sealed vacuum equipment technology, specifically an Internet of Things (IoT) vacuum glove box. Background Technology

[0002] A vacuum glove box is a laboratory device that first extracts the air from the box to create a vacuum environment, then fills the box with high-purity inert gas and circulates and filters out the active substances. It is widely used in ultrapure environments that are free of water, oxygen, and dust, such as lithium-ion batteries and materials, semiconductors, supercapacitors, special lamps, laser welding, brazing, etc.

[0003] When using existing vacuum glove boxes, if you need to take out or put in several long experimental items or materials, you need to open the vacuum glove box multiple times, which will disrupt the vacuum environment inside. After taking out or putting in the items, you need to re-evacuate and refill with inert gas, which will affect the normal work efficiency. At the same time, when processing experimental items or materials inside the vacuum glove box, it is inconvenient to rotate them, which is time-consuming and laborious, resulting in reduced work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by this solution is:

[0005] (1) How to solve the problem that if it is necessary to take out and put in several long experimental items or materials, the vacuum environment inside the vacuum glove box will be damaged, affecting the normal working efficiency.

[0006] (2) How to solve the problem that it is inconvenient to rotate experimental items or materials when processing them in a vacuum glove box, which leads to reduced work efficiency.

[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: an Internet of Things vacuum glove box, comprising a vacuum glove box body and a storage box fixedly connected to its side, wherein the vacuum glove box body is provided with a flipping mechanism for changing the horizontal angle of experimental items or materials, the storage box is provided with a conveying mechanism for adding longer experimental items or materials, and a blocking block is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the storage box.

[0008] The conveying mechanism includes a movable plate slidably disposed on the inner wall of the storage box. A flip plate is rotatably disposed on the top of one end of the movable plate via a rotating seat. A placement plate for placing longer experimental items or materials is slidably disposed on the top wall of the flip plate. An auxiliary unit for pushing longer experimental items or materials is disposed on the top end of the placement plate. A pushing unit for driving the flip plate to rotate longitudinally is disposed on the other end of the movable plate.

[0009] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: the top of the flip plate is also provided with a fence for limiting the length of experimental items or materials, and the fence is located on the outside of the placement plate.

[0010] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: the auxiliary unit includes an L-shaped plate rotatably disposed on one side of the placement plate, the middle part of the L-shaped plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fence through a pin, the bottom of the L-shaped plate is elastically connected to the fence through a tension spring, and the top position of the L-shaped plate corresponds to the position of the blocking block.

[0011] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: a groove is provided on the placement plate, and a push plate is slidably arranged in the groove by a slider. A horizontally arranged support frame is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate, and a transmission roller is rotatably arranged at one end of the support frame. The transmission roller is in rolling connection with the bottom of the L-shaped plate.

[0012] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: the pushing unit includes a guide rod fixedly connected to the movable plate, a baffle is fixedly installed in the middle of the guide rod, a movable sleeve is movably sleeved on the guide rod away from the movable plate via a guide rail, a lever is fixedly connected to the front of the outer wall of the movable sleeve, and a thrust spring is elastically arranged between the movable sleeve and the baffle.

[0013] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: an L-shaped transmission frame is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the vacuum glove box, and a push roller is rotatably mounted on one end of the L-shaped transmission frame, the position of which corresponds to the position of the flipping plate; the other end of the L-shaped transmission frame is movably connected to a lever. When it is necessary to process longer experimental items or materials, the cylinder extension end is controlled to retract to half its length via an external IoT remote control panel, causing the guide rod to pull the moving plate to move. At the same time, due to the thrust force generated by the baffle and the thrust spring on the moving sleeve, the moving sleeve, in conjunction with the lever, drives the L-shaped transmission frame to flip, thereby causing the push roller to... A pushing force is applied to one end of the flip plate, causing it to tilt. Then, the extended end of the cylinder is controlled to retract from half its length to the set length, allowing the flip plate to continue moving towards the rotating plate. At this point, the distance between the baffle and the moving sleeve decreases, and the L-shaped transmission frame does not continue to flip. Then, the top of the L-shaped plate is obstructed by the blocking block, causing the L-shaped plate to flip. This provides a pushing force to the transmission rollers and the support frame, which in turn provides a pushing force to the push plate, allowing longer experimental items or materials on the placement plate to extend beyond the placement plate, improving the efficiency of manual handling. This process avoids disrupting the vacuum environment inside the vacuum glove box, preventing any impact on its normal working efficiency.

[0014] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: the flipping mechanism includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the vacuum glove box via a bearing, a rotating plate is fixedly installed at the top of the rotating shaft, an anti-slip pad is provided on the top surface of the rotating plate, a guide frame for limiting the rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the vacuum glove box, and a transmission unit for driving the rotating plate to rotate horizontally is provided below the guide frame.

[0015] A further technical improvement of the present invention is as follows: the transmission unit includes a rack fixedly connected to a guide rod, the rack is arranged laterally, and a transmission rod is fixedly connected to the end of the rack away from the guide rod; a gear is fixedly installed in the middle of the rotating shaft, and the gear meshes with the rack; a cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the vacuum glove box, the extended end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the transmission rod; a limiting frame for guiding the transmission rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the vacuum glove box; when it is necessary to rotate the processed experimental items or materials, they are placed on an anti-slip mat, and the extended end of the cylinder is controlled to retract to half its length. The limiting frame guides the transmission rod, so that the lateral movement of the rack does not deviate. The movement of the rack drives the gear and the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the rotating plate drives the experimental items or materials being processed on its top to rotate, thereby realizing the operation of flipping the processed experimental items or materials, avoiding time-consuming and laborious processing, and reducing work efficiency.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] In use, when processing several long experimental items or materials, the invention uses an external IoT remote control panel to retract the cylinder's extended end to half its length, causing the guide rod to pull the moving plate. Simultaneously, the baffle and thrust spring exert a pushing force on the moving sleeve, causing the moving sleeve, in conjunction with the lever, to rotate the L-shaped transmission frame. This provides a pushing support force to one end of the rotating plate via the push roller, causing the rotating plate to tilt. Then, the cylinder's extended end is retracted from half its length to a set length, allowing the rotating plate to continue moving towards the rotating plate. At this point, the distance between the baffle and the moving sleeve... As the distance decreases, the L-shaped transmission frame does not continue to flip. Then, the top of the L-shaped plate is obstructed by the blocking block, causing the L-shaped plate to flip. This provides a pushing force to the transmission rollers and support frame, which in turn provides a pushing force to the push plate. This causes several longer experimental items or materials on the placement plate to extend beyond the placement plate, making it easier for manual handling of longer experimental items or materials for processing, thus improving the efficiency of manual handling. This process avoids disrupting the vacuum environment inside the vacuum glove box, preventing any impact on its normal working efficiency. At the same time, the processed longer experimental items or materials are returned to their original positions, making it convenient to handle another longer experimental item or material for processing.

[0018] When using this invention, if it is necessary to rotate the experimental items or materials being processed, place them on an anti-slip mat, control the extended end of the cylinder to retract to half its length, and guide the transmission rod through the limit frame so that the lateral movement of the rack does not deviate. The movement of the rack drives the gear and the rotating shaft to rotate, causing the rotating plate to rotate the experimental items or materials being processed on top of it, thereby realizing the operation of flipping the processed experimental items or materials, avoiding time-consuming and laborious processing, which would reduce work efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, an IoT vacuum glove box includes a vacuum glove box body 2 and a storage box 6 fixedly connected to its side. The vacuum glove box body 2 is provided with a flipping mechanism 3 for changing the horizontal angle of experimental items or materials. The storage box 6 is provided with a conveying mechanism 4 for adding longer experimental items or materials. A blocking block 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the storage box 6.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, the conveying mechanism 4 includes a movable plate 405 slidably disposed on the inner wall of the storage box 6. A flip plate 403 is rotatably disposed on the top of one end of the movable plate 405 via a rotating seat 406. A placement plate 402 for placing longer experimental items or materials is slidably disposed on the top wall of the flip plate 403. An auxiliary unit for pushing longer experimental items or materials is disposed on one end of the top of the placement plate 402. A pushing unit 404 for driving the flip plate 403 to rotate longitudinally is disposed on the other end of the movable plate 405.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the aforementioned flip plate 403 is also provided with a fence 401 for limiting longer experimental items or materials, and the fence 401 is located outside the placement plate 402.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary unit includes an L-shaped plate 412 rotatably disposed on one side of the placement plate 402. The middle part of the L-shaped plate 412 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fence 401 through a pin 407. The bottom of the L-shaped plate 412 is elastically connected to the fence 401 through a tension spring 411. The top position of the L-shaped plate 412 corresponds to the position of the blocking block 5.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 As shown, the aforementioned placement plate 402 has a sliding groove 409, and a push plate 408 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 409 via a slider. A horizontally arranged support frame 410 is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate 408, and a transmission roller is rotatably disposed at one end of the support frame 410. The transmission roller is rotatably connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate 412.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the aforementioned push unit 404 includes a guide rod 4047 fixedly connected to the movable plate 405. A baffle 4041 is fixedly installed in the middle of the guide rod 4047. A movable sleeve 4043 is movably sleeved on the guide rod 4047 away from the movable plate 405 via a guide rail. A lever 4044 is fixedly connected to the front of the outer wall of the movable sleeve 4043. A thrust spring 4042 is elastically provided between the movable sleeve 4043 and the baffle 4041.

[0034] Please see Figure 4 As shown, an L-shaped transmission frame 4045 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the vacuum glove box 2. One end of the L-shaped transmission frame 4045 is rotatably mounted with a push roller 4046, the position of which corresponds to the position of the flip plate 403. The other end of the L-shaped transmission frame 4045 is movably connected to a lever 4044. When processing longer experimental items or materials, the extended end of the cylinder 302 is retracted to half its length via an external IoT remote control control panel 9, causing the guide rod 4047 to pull the moving plate 405. Simultaneously, the baffle 4041 and the thrust spring 4042 exert a thrust on the moving sleeve 4043, causing the moving sleeve 4043, in conjunction with the lever 4044, to rotate the L-shaped transmission frame 4045, thereby causing the push roller 4044 to rotate. The 6 pairs of flip plates 403 provide a pushing support force to one end, causing the flip plates 403 to tilt up; then the extended end of the cylinder 302 is controlled to retract from half the length to the set length, so that the flip plates 403 continue to move towards the rotating plate 309. At this time, the distance between the baffle 4041 and the moving sleeve 4043 becomes smaller, and the L-shaped transmission frame 4045 does not continue to flip. Then, the top of the L-shaped plate 412 is obstructed by the blocking block 5, so that the L-shaped plate 412 flips, providing a pushing force to the transmission roller and the support frame 410, thereby providing a pushing force to the push plate 408, so that longer experimental items or materials on the placement plate 402 extend out of the placement plate 402, improving the efficiency of manual handling. This process avoids damaging the vacuum environment inside the vacuum glove box 2, preventing it from affecting its normal working efficiency.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the aforementioned flipping mechanism 3 includes a rotating shaft 306 rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the vacuum glove box 2 via a bearing. A rotating plate 309 is fixedly installed at the top of the rotating shaft 306. An anti-slip pad 301 is provided on the top surface of the rotating plate 309. A guide frame 308 for limiting the rotating shaft 306 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the vacuum glove box 2. A transmission unit for driving the rotating plate 309 to rotate horizontally is provided below the guide frame 308.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the aforementioned transmission unit includes a rack 307 fixedly connected to a guide rod 4047. The rack 307 is arranged laterally, and a transmission rod 304 is fixedly connected to one end of the rack 307 away from the guide rod 4047. A gear 305 is fixedly installed in the middle of a rotating shaft 306, and the gear 305 meshes with the rack 307. A cylinder 302 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the vacuum glove box 2, and the extended end of the cylinder 302 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 304. A limiting frame for guiding the transmission rod 304 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the vacuum glove box 2. 303; When it is necessary to rotate the experimental items or materials being processed, place them on the anti-slip mat 301, control the extended end of the cylinder 302 to retract to half its length, and guide the transmission rod 304 through the limit frame 303 so that the lateral movement of the rack 307 does not deviate. The movement of the rack 307 drives the gear 305 and the rotating shaft 306 to rotate, so that the rotating plate 309 drives the experimental items or materials being processed on its top to rotate, thereby realizing the operation of flipping the processed experimental items or materials, avoiding time-consuming and laborious processing, which would reduce work efficiency.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the vacuum glove box 2 has two symmetrical glove openings 10 on the front center. A control panel 9 is located below one of the glove openings 10. An observation window 7 is inclinedly arranged on the top of the outer wall of the vacuum glove box 2. A lighting lamp 1 is arranged on the top of the inner wall of the vacuum glove box 2. The position of the lighting lamp 1 is offset from the position of the observation window 7.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the top side of the vacuum glove box 2 away from the storage box 6 is connected to a gas supply pipe 8 for inputting inert gas. A control valve is fixedly installed in the middle of the gas supply pipe 8. The side of the vacuum glove box 2 below the gas supply pipe 8 is connected to an exhaust pipe for discharging air. A one-way valve is fixedly installed in the middle of the exhaust pipe. The opening direction of the one-way valve is the same as the direction in which the air in the vacuum glove box 2 enters the exhaust pipe.

[0039] Working principle: When using this invention, firstly, as... Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, several relatively long experimental items or materials are placed on the placement plate 402 in advance. Then, through the external IoT remote control control panel 9, the control valve is opened, causing the gas supply pipe 8 to inject inert gas into the vacuum glove box 2 and the storage box 6, while the air inside the vacuum glove box 2 and the storage box 6 is emptied through the exhaust pipe; as shown. Figures 1-4As shown, when processing longer experimental items or materials, the extended end of cylinder 302 is retracted to half its length via an external IoT remote control control panel 9. This causes guide rod 4047 to pull moving plate 405. Simultaneously, the baffle 4041 and thrust spring 4042 exert a thrust on moving sleeve 4043, causing moving sleeve 4043, in conjunction with lever 4044, to rotate L-shaped transmission frame 4045. This, in turn, provides a pushing support force to one end of rotating plate 403 via push roller 4046, causing rotating plate 403 to tilt upwards. Figures 2-4 As shown, the extended end of the control cylinder 302 retracts from half its length to the set length, causing the flipping plate 403 to continue moving towards the rotating plate 309. At this time, the distance between the baffle 4041 and the moving sleeve 4043 decreases, and the L-shaped transmission frame 4045 does not continue to flip. Then, the top of the L-shaped plate 412 is obstructed by the blocking block 5, causing the L-shaped plate 412 to flip, providing a thrust to the transmission roller and the support frame 410, thereby providing a thrust to the push plate 408. This causes several longer experimental items or materials on the placement plate 402 to extend beyond the placement plate 402, making it easier for manual handling of longer experimental items or materials for processing, improving the efficiency of manual handling. This process avoids damaging the vacuum environment inside the vacuum glove box 2, preventing it from affecting its normal working efficiency. At the same time, the processed longer experimental items or materials are returned to their original positions, making it convenient to handle another longer experimental item or material for processing. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, when it is necessary to rotate the experimental items or materials being processed, they are placed on the anti-slip mat 301, and the extended end of the control cylinder 302 is retracted to half its length. The limit frame 303 provides guidance to the transmission rod 304, so that the lateral movement of the rack 307 does not deviate. The movement of the rack 307 drives the gear 305 and the rotating shaft 306 to rotate, so that the rotating plate 309 drives the experimental items or materials being processed on its top to rotate, thereby realizing the operation of flipping the processed experimental items or materials, avoiding time-consuming and laborious processing, and reducing work efficiency.
