[0017] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 This embodiment provides a tilting discharge cleaning system, including: a conveying mechanism 1, a discharge mechanism 2, and a cleaning mechanism 3.

[0018] The material conveying mechanism 1 includes a mixing pot 11, a tray 12, a feeding trolley 13, a conveying guide rail 14, a discharging trolley 15, and a receiving pot 16. The mixing pot 11 is placed on the upper end of the tray 12, and the tray 12 is placed on the upper end of the feeding trolley 13. The mixing pot 11 filled with the mixture is placed on the tray 12. The wheels of the feeding trolley 13 and the discharging trolley 15 are rotatably connected to the conveying guide rail 14. The conveying guide rail 14 is fixedly connected to the ground. The two conveying guide rails 14 form the travel track of the feeding trolley 13 and the discharging trolley 15. The receiving pot 16 is placed on the discharging trolley 15.

[0019] Specifically, the feeding trolley 13 transports the mixing pot 11 to below the discharging mechanism 2.

[0020] Specifically, the discharge trolley 15 transports the receiving pot 16 to the next work station.

[0021] Furthermore, the discharge mechanism 2 includes a flipping component 21, a locking component 22, a lifting component 23, and a discharge bracket 24. The lifting component 23 is fixedly connected to the discharge bracket 24. The lifting component 23 includes a lifting linear guide rail 231 and a guide wheel slider 232. The lifting linear guide rail 231 is fixedly connected to the discharge bracket 24. The cross-section of the lifting linear guide rail 231 is trapezoidal. The guide wheel slider 232 includes a guide wheel fixing block 2321 and a guide wheel 2322. The cross-section of the guide wheel fixing block 2321 is trapezoidal. The two inclined surfaces of the guide wheel fixing block 2321 are rotatably connected to the guide wheel 2322. The working surface of the guide wheel 2322 is in contact with the two inclined surfaces of the lifting linear guide rail 231.

[0022] Furthermore, the cross-section of the lifting linear guide 231 is designed to be trapezoidal, mainly to increase the contact area between the guide wheel 2322 and the lifting linear guide 231, while also being able to withstand larger axial and radial loads.

[0023] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 23 also includes a lifting drive source 233, which is fixed to the discharge bracket 24. The output end of the lifting drive source 233 is fixedly connected to the lifting bracket 234. The lifting bracket 234 is fixedly connected to the guide wheel slider 232. The lifting drive source 233 drives the lifting bracket 234 to move up and down relative to the discharge bracket 24.

[0024] Preferably, the lifting drive source 233 is a lifting plunger cylinder. Since the discharge mechanism 2 includes the tilting component 21, which generates axial and radial loads, the lifting plunger cylinder can simultaneously withstand both axial and radial loads, making it suitable for various complex working requirements. Furthermore, its structure is relatively simple, mainly composed of a plunger and a cylinder, making manufacturing and maintenance convenient. The output force of the plunger cylinder is relatively stable, unlike the large fluctuations of a piston rod, thus providing a more stable driving force. Due to the large cross-sectional area of ​​the plunger, it can generate a large output force, making it suitable for applications requiring significant thrust.

[0025] Furthermore, the flipping assembly 21 includes a flipping bracket 211 and a flipping drive source 212. The flipping drive source 212 is drivenly connected to the flipping bracket 211. The locking assembly 22 is fixedly connected to the flipping bracket 211. The locking assembly 22 includes a positioning pin 221, a first locking part 222, and a second locking part 223. The tray 12 is placed at the bottom of the flipping bracket 211. The tray 12 and the hanging ears of the mixing pot 11 are both provided with positioning holes 11a.

[0026] Furthermore, the cross-section of the flipping bracket 211 is L-shaped, and the two flipping brackets 211 support the tray 12.

[0027] Preferably, the first locking part 222 is a lever-type hydraulic cylinder locking unit, which can generate a large clamping force.

[0028] Preferably, the second locking part 223 is a cylinder-type drive source, and the extension and retraction of the output end of the second locking part 223 realizes the vertical positioning of the mixing pot 11. The cylinder-type drive source has the characteristics of small size, light weight, high power and fast response.

[0029] Furthermore, the flipping assembly 21 also includes a speed reducer 213 and a flipping transmission part 214; the flipping transmission part 214 is rotatably connected to the flipping bracket 211, the flipping drive source 212 is driven connected to the speed reducer 213, and the output end of the speed reducer 213 is driven connected to the flipping transmission part 214.

[0030] Specifically, when the tray 12 is transported by the feeding trolley 13 to the area below the discharge mechanism 2, the lifting drive source 233 slowly lifts the tilting bracket 211 until the positioning pin 221 is inserted into the positioning hole 11a. Then, the first locking part 222 and the second locking part 223 are used to lock and limit the mixing pot 11. Finally, the tilting drive source 212 drives the tilting bracket 211 to rotate relative to the discharge bracket 24 until the mixture in the mixing pot 11 is poured into the receiving pot 16.

[0031] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a cleaning robot 31 and a robot cleaning machine 32, wherein the robot cleaning machine 32 is used to clean the scraper 311 installed at one end of the cleaning robot 31.

[0032] Furthermore, the robotic arm cleaning machine 32 includes a robotic arm cleaning machine support 321, a dilution solution basin 322, a scraper, and a basin lifting mechanism 323. The execution end of the basin lifting mechanism 323 is fixedly connected to the dilution solution basin 322, both ends of the scraper are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dilution solution basin 322, and the bottom end of the basin lifting mechanism 323 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the robotic arm cleaning support 321.

[0033] Specifically, after the scraper 311 cleans the inner wall of the mixing pot 11, the scraper 311 is placed in the dilution solution basin 322. The cleaning robot 31 drives the scraper 311 to move up and down relative to the scraper strip. The scraper 311 is in close contact with the scraper strip to clean the remaining material on the scraper 311.

[0034] Furthermore, the robotic arm cleaning machine 32 is placed on one side of the discharge mechanism 2. The upper end of the robotic arm cleaning machine 32 is provided with a scraper placement plate 324, which is used to place the scraper 311. The scraper 311 can be quickly connected to one end of the cleaning robotic arm 31 through the quick-change gun disc 325.

[0035] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 3 also includes a robotic arm moving component 33 and a receiving tray component 34. The robotic arm moving component 33 includes a first linear guide rail 331, a first moving slider 332, a first moving drive source 333, and a first transmission rack 334. The first moving slider 332 is slidably connected to the first linear guide rail 331, and the cleaning robotic arm 31 is fixedly connected to the first moving slider 332 through a connecting plate 335.

[0036] Furthermore, the output end of the first mobile drive source 333 is driven by a drive gear 336, which meshes with the first transmission rack 334. The first mobile slider 332 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 335, and the first transmission rack 334 is fixedly connected to one side of the robot arm fixing plate 337.

[0037] Furthermore, the receiving tray assembly 34 includes a receiving tray 341, a receiving tray bracket 342, a second linear guide rail 343, a second movable slider 344, and a receiving tray connecting bracket 345. The receiving tray connecting bracket 345 is fixedly connected to the robot arm fixing plate 337. The second movable slider 344 is slidably connected to the second linear guide rail 343. The lower end of the second movable slider 344 is fixedly connected to the receiving tray connecting bracket 345. The receiving tray 341 is placed on the receiving tray bracket 342.

[0038] Furthermore, the first movable slider 332 and the first linear guide rail 331 are used to enable the cleaning robot arm 31 to move back and forth.

[0039] Furthermore, the second linear guide rail 343 and the second movable slider 344 are used to enable the receiving tray 341 to move back and forth.

[0040] Specifically, when the cleaning robot 31 cleans the inner wall of the mixing pot 11, the cleaning robot 31 needs to move back and forth. At this time, the first motion drive source 333 drives the drive gear 336 to rotate, and the drive gear 336 meshes with the first transmission rack 334, thereby driving the cleaning robot 31 to move back and forth relative to the mixing pot 11.

[0041] Specifically, before the cleaning robot 31 cleans the inner wall of the mixing pot 11, the receiving tray support 342 is first pulled out from below the cleaning robot 31 to collect the remaining material cleaned off the inner wall of the mixing pot 11 by the scraper 311.

[0042] In this embodiment, the invention also provides a method for operating a tilting discharge cleaning system, comprising the following steps: S1: The mixing pot 11 containing the mixture is transported to the bottom of the discharge mechanism 2 using the feeding trolley 13.

[0043] S2: The locking component 22 is used to fix the mixing pot 11 to the flipping component 21, so that the flipping component 21 can flip the mixing pot 11.

[0044] S3: The lifting component 23 is used to raise the mixing pot 11 to a higher height, so that the flipping component 21 can flip the mixing pot.

[0045] S4: The mixing pot 11 is flipped using the flipping component 21, and the mixture in the mixing pot 11 is poured into the receiving pot 16, and then transported to the next station via the discharge trolley 15.

[0046] S5: Until all the mixture in the mixing pot 11 has been poured out, the scraper 311 at one end of the cleaning robot 31 is used to clean the remaining material on the inner wall of the mixing pot 11.

[0047] S6: Place the scraper 311 at one end of the cleaning robot 31 into the dilution solution basin 322 to clean the remaining material on the scraper 311.

The locking assembly 22 fixes the mixing pot 11 to the flipping assembly 21. The lifting assembly 23 raises the mixing pot 11 to a higher height. The flipping assembly 21 flips the mixing pot 11, at which point the mixture in the mixing pot 11 is poured into the receiving pot. The discharging trolley transports the receiving pot to the next work station.
