Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire extinguisher technology, specifically to a horizontal fire extinguisher inflation device and a horizontal fire extinguisher inflation method. Background Technology

[0002] The following problems exist when using a horizontal inflation device to inflate fire extinguishers: 1. During the initial processing and transportation, fire extinguishers are mostly in an upright position. Before inflation, they need to be adjusted from an upright to a horizontal position, and furthermore, they need to be positioned horizontally to suit the operation of the horizontal inflation device. The existing horizontal inflation devices are inconvenient for grasping and adjusting the structure of the fire extinguisher. 2. Because the inflation port of the fire extinguisher is filled with powder, it needs to be vibrated and tapped before inflation to disperse the powder, facilitating subsequent inflation. Existing horizontal inflation equipment does not readily perform this vibration and tapping process. 3. After pre-treatment, the orientation of the inflation head needs to be adjusted to ensure precise alignment between the inflation port and the inflation components. The existing horizontal inflation equipment requires further improvement in adjusting the orientation of the inflation port.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical issues, this invention provides a horizontal inflation device for fire extinguishers. Summary of the Invention

The inflation part of the inflation tool is provided on the head end fitting and the inflation tool inflates the fire extinguisher clamped in the inflation horizontal position.

[0011] The flipping and feeding device flips the vertically positioned fire extinguisher to feed it. The transfer device then transfers the fire extinguisher to the vibration treatment device, which vibrates the fire extinguisher to loosen the powder at the filling port. The conveying device then carries the fire extinguisher through the head-adjusting device and the clamping and filling device. The head-adjusting device rotates the fire extinguisher to a position suitable for cooperation with the clamping and filling device. After the clamping and filling device holds the fire extinguisher, it is filled with air using an air filling tool.

The detection part of the inflation detection mechanism is disposed on the mating part at the head end of the extinguisher, and the inflation detection mechanism detects the pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher clamped in the inflation horizontal position. The inflation detection mechanism can detect the pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher during the inflation process, so that personnel can understand the inflation progress of the fire extinguisher.

[0013] As an optional embodiment, a clamping bracket is provided on the bottom side of the inflatable horizontal position.

The adjustment mechanism can adjust the position of the orientation detection element, thereby improving the applicability of the head orientation device.

[0017] The extinguisher head adjustment device also includes a dust removal mechanism. The dust removal part of the mechanism is mounted on the adjustment slide and cleans the extinguisher head in the horizontal position. The dust removal mechanism can clean the extinguisher head, preventing dust from affecting the extinguisher's inflation process at the inflation port, pressure gauge, and other locations.

[0018] As an optional embodiment, the reversing transmission component includes a transmission base, a first rotating shaft, and a second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is mounted on the transmission base and rotates relative to the transmission base. The first rotating shaft is provided with a clearance hole. The second rotating shaft passes through the clearance hole and is perpendicular to the first rotating shaft. Both the second rotating shaft and the first rotating shaft are provided with bevel gears, and the two bevel gears are in transmission engagement. The power output end of the feeding drive component is connected to the first rotating shaft and drives the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft to rotate. The feeding gripper is mounted on the second rotating shaft and is driven by the feeding drive component to flip the fire extinguisher standing on the feeding platform and place it horizontally in the feeding preparation position.

[0019] As an optional embodiment, the vibration limiting mechanism includes limiting baffles, and the inner end faces of each limiting baffle cooperate to form a vibration limiting space. When the vibration table is in the vibration operation position, the vibration horizontal position is within the vibration limiting space.

[0020] As an optional embodiment, the conveying device includes a conveying drive and two conveying components. Both conveying components are connected to the conveying drive and are driven to rotate synchronously by the conveying drive. Both conveying components are provided with fire extinguisher anti-roll supports. The vibration mechanism, the directional support mechanism and the inflation platform are all arranged between the two conveying components.

[0021] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a horizontal inflation method for a fire extinguisher, comprising the following steps:

[0022] S1. The feeding drive unit drives the reversing transmission unit to move the feeding gripper to the top of the feeding platform, and places the fire extinguisher upright on the feeding platform. The height of the feeding platform is adjusted so that the feeding gripper can grab the center of the fire extinguisher. After the feeding gripper grabs the fire extinguisher on the feeding platform, the feeding drive unit drives the reversing transmission unit to drive the feeding gripper to flip the grabbed fire extinguisher and place it horizontally in the feeding preparation position.

[0023] S2. The transfer moving part drives the transfer grabbing part to the loading preparation position. The transfer grabbing part grabs the fire extinguisher at the loading preparation position. After the loading grabbing part releases the fire extinguisher, the transfer moving part drives the transfer grabbing part to move and transfer the grabbed fire extinguisher to the vibration limiting space.

[0024] S3. The vibration lifting drive moves the vibration table to the vibration operation position. The transfer grabbing device releases the grabbed fire extinguisher and makes the fire extinguisher fall to the vibration horizontal position. Then, the vibration drive drives the vibration table to vibrate and makes the fire extinguisher in the vibration horizontal position vibrate within the vibration limit space. After the vibration treatment is completed, the vibration drive stops driving. The vibration lifting drive moves the vibration table down to the vibration yielding position. During the descent of the vibration table, the fire extinguisher in the vibration horizontal position falls onto the conveying device and is conveyed by the conveying device.

[0025] S4. When the directional lifting drive unit drives the directional support mechanism to the directional yielding position, and the conveying device moves the fire extinguisher to above the directional yielding position, the directional lifting drive unit drives the directional support mechanism to rise to the directional operation position. During the lifting process of the directional support mechanism, the fire extinguisher is transferred from the conveying device to the directional horizontal position. The directional drive unit drives the rotation of each support component of the directional support mechanism to rotate the fire extinguisher in the directional horizontal position. Under the detection of the directional detection component, the fire extinguisher turns to an orientation suitable for cooperating with the head end fitting component. After the head is cleaned by the ash removal mechanism, the directional lifting drive unit drives the directional support mechanism to descend to the directional yielding position. During the descent of the directional support mechanism, the fire extinguisher in the directional horizontal position falls onto the conveying device. The fire extinguisher is on the conveying device and cooperates with the fire extinguisher anti-roll support component.

[0026] S5. When the inflation lifting drive moves the inflation platform to the inflation yielding position and the conveying device moves the fire extinguisher above the inflation horizontal position, the inflation lifting drive raises the inflation platform to the inflation operation position. During the inflation platform raising process, the fire extinguisher is transferred from the conveying device to the inflation horizontal position. The clamping drive moves the head end fitting from the clamping standby position to the clamping position. The head end fitting and the bottom end fitting engage with the head end and bottom end of the fire extinguisher in the inflation horizontal position, respectively, and clamp the fire extinguisher. Then, the valve opening and closing device moves the handle fitting from the valve opening standby position to the valve opening position and opens the fire extinguisher's valve. At the same time, the inflation adjusting device drives the inflation. The inflation unit moves from the inflation standby position to the inflation position, and the inflation unit connects with the inflation port of the fire extinguisher. The inflation tool inflates the fire extinguisher. During inflation, the inflation detection mechanism detects the pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher and obtains the air pressure inside the fire extinguisher. After inflation is completed, the valve opening and closing component drives the handle fitting component from the valve opening position to the valve opening standby position and closes the fire extinguisher's air valve. At the same time, the inflation adjustment component drives the inflation unit from the inflation position to the inflation standby position, and the clamping drive component drives the head end fitting component from the clamping position to the clamping standby position. Then, the inflation lifting drive component drives the inflation platform to descend to the inflation yielding position. During the descent of the inflation platform, the fire extinguisher in the inflation horizontal position is transferred to the conveying device.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The flipping and feeding device can be used in conjunction with the equipment in the front-end processing stage to flip the fire extinguishers transferred from the front-end processing station from a vertical state to a horizontal state. The transfer device then transfers the fire extinguisher to the vibration treatment device to begin the pre-treatment work before inflation. The conveying device connects the vibration treatment device, the head-adjusting device, and the clamping inflation device. After the fire extinguisher is vibrated at the vibration treatment device, it is automatically conveyed to the head-adjusting device for adjustment, and then to the clamping inflation device for inflation. The horizontal inflation of the present invention connects the inflation of the fire extinguisher and the pre-treatment before inflation, improving the efficiency of horizontal inflation of the fire extinguisher; 2. The vibration mechanism, the adjusting support mechanism, and the inflation platform are all located between the two conveying components of the conveying device, so that the conveying device can automatically convey the fire extinguisher from the vibration treatment device to the head-adjusting device and the... 3. In the clamping inflation device, the bottom fitting of the bottle is set on the clamping bracket through a position compensation mechanism. The position of the bottom fitting can be adjusted according to the specifications of the fire extinguisher. When the fire extinguisher has production errors, the bottom fitting can also adaptively adjust its position to ensure that the fire extinguisher can be stably clamped in the inflation horizontal position, thereby improving the inflation stability of the fire extinguisher; 4. Due to the structure of the reversing transmission component, the flipping feeding device can drive the fire extinguisher to flip from the vertical state to the horizontal state, and the orientation of the head is also adjusted during the flipping process, which facilitates the association and cooperation of the horizontal inflation device of the present invention with the equipment of the front process of the fire extinguisher; 5. When the head adjustment device adjusts the orientation of the fire extinguisher, the adjustment drive mechanism drives the two support components of the adjustment support mechanism to rotate, thereby driving the fire extinguisher supported by the two support components to rotate. With the help of the adjustment detection component, the precise and rapid adjustment of the orientation of the fire extinguisher head is achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] like Figures 1-10 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a horizontal inflation device for fire extinguishers, including a conveying device 1, a turning and feeding device 2, a transfer device 3, a vibration treatment device 4, a head adjustment device 5, and a clamping inflation device 6.

[0042] The flipping and feeding device 2 is located at the junction with the previous processing steps. When the fire extinguisher needs to be refilled after processing, the fire extinguisher is placed at the flipping and feeding device 2. The flipping and feeding device 2 flips the fire extinguisher from the vertical position to the horizontal position and puts the fire extinguisher in the feeding preparation position. The transfer device 3 transfers the fire extinguisher in the feeding preparation position to the vibration treatment device 4. After vibration treatment, the fire extinguisher is sent to the head adjustment device 5 by the conveying device 1. The head adjustment device 5 adjusts the fire extinguisher so that the fire extinguisher can be used in the orientation of the head to cooperate with the clamping and filling device 6. Then the conveying device 1 conveys the adjusted fire extinguisher to the clamping and filling device 6. The clamping and filling device 6 clamps the fire extinguisher and fills the fire extinguisher. After filling is completed, the conveying device 1 conveys the fire extinguisher backward.

[0043] The flipping and feeding device 2 includes a feeding platform 21, a reversing transmission component, a feeding drive component 22, and a feeding gripper 23. The feeding gripper 23 is located in the moving part of the reversing transmission component. The feeding drive component 22 drives the reversing transmission component to drive the feeding gripper 23 to flip the vertically standing feeding platform 21 to the horizontal feeding preparation position.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the feeding gripper 23 is a tooling fixture used to grip fire extinguishers. The feeding gripper 23 is located in the actuating part of the reversing transmission component. The power output end of the feeding drive component 22 is connected to the power input end of the reversing transmission component. The feeding drive component 22 drives the feeding gripper 23 to move between the gripping position and the feeding preparation position by driving the reversing transmission component. When the feeding gripper 23 is in the gripping position, it is located above the feeding platform 21 and is in a state where it can grip the fire extinguisher that is set vertically. When the feeding gripper 23 is in the feeding preparation position, it is in a position suitable for feeding the transfer device 3. The fire extinguisher gripped by the feeding gripper 23 is in a horizontal position.

[0045] Figures 1-3 In the embodiment shown, the flip-feeding device 2 is located at the conveyor line of the head tightening device. The fire extinguisher is erected on the conveyor line of the head tightening device and is conveyed by the conveyor line of the head tightening device. When the fire extinguisher is conveyed to the loading platform 21, the fire extinguisher is transferred to the loading platform 21. The flip-feeding device 2 then transfers the fire extinguisher to the loading preparation position.

[0046] Please see Figure 1The vibration treatment device 4, the head-adjusting device 5, and the clamping and charging device 6 are arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying device 1. The conveying device 1 is a device suitable for conveying fire extinguishers. The conveying device 1 carries the fire extinguisher sequentially through the vibration treatment device 4, the head-adjusting device 5, and the clamping and charging device 6. When the fire extinguisher is at the vibration treatment device 4, the vibration treatment device 4 vibrates and taps the fire extinguisher, loosening the powder at the charging port. When the fire extinguisher is at the head-adjusting device 5, the head-adjusting device 5 rotates the fire extinguisher circumferentially, adjusting the orientation of the charging port on the head. When the fire extinguisher is at the clamping and charging device 6, the clamping and charging device 6 clamps the fire extinguisher and charges it.

[0047] Please see Figures 1-3 and Figure 6 The vibration processing device 4 includes a vibration limiting mechanism 41 and a vibration mechanism. The vibration limiting mechanism 41 is located above the conveying device 1 and has a vibration limiting space. The vibration mechanism includes a vibration table 42, a vibration drive 43, a vibration lifting platform 44, and a vibration lifting drive 45. The vibration table 42 is mounted on the vibration lifting platform 44 by several elastic support members. The vibration drive 43 is mounted on the vibration table 42 and drives the vibration table 42 to vibrate. The vibration table 42 has a vibration horizontal position located below the vibration limiting space. The lifting part of the vibration lifting drive 45 is connected to the vibration lifting platform 44, and the vibration lifting drive 45 drives the vibration table 42 to move between a vibration operation position higher than the conveying surface of the conveying device 1 and a vibration yielding position lower than the conveying surface of the conveying device 1.

[0048] Specifically, the vibration table 42 is set on the vibration lifting platform 44. The vibration table 42 and the vibration lifting platform 44 are connected by several elastic support members. The vibration table 42 can vibrate relative to the vibration lifting platform 44. The vibration drive 43 is a vibration motor. The vibration drive 43 is set on the vibration table 42 and drives the vibration table 42 to vibrate. The vibration table 42 is provided with a vibration horizontal position. After the fire extinguisher is placed in the vibration horizontal position, the vibration drive 43 drives the vibration table 42 to drive the fire extinguisher to vibrate. The lifting part of the vibrating lifting component is connected to the vibrating lifting platform 44. The vibrating lifting component drives the vibrating platform 44 to rise and fall, thereby driving the vibrating platform 42 to move up and down between the vibrating operation position and the vibrating yielding position. The vibrating platform 42 is located near the conveying device 1. Under the drive of the vibrating lifting component, when the vibrating platform 42 is in the vibrating operation position, the vibrating platform 42 is higher than the conveying surface of the conveying device 1. At this time, the fire extinguisher can be placed in the vibrating horizontal position and detached from the conveying surface of the conveying device 1. The vibrating platform 42 prevents the conveying device 1 from carrying other fire extinguishers past the vibrating platform 42. When the vibrating platform 42 is in the vibrating yielding position, the vibrating platform 42 is lower than the conveying surface of the conveying device 1. At this time, the fire extinguisher on the conveying device 1 can pass over the vibrating platform 42.

[0049] The vibration limiting mechanism 41 is positioned above the conveying device 1. The components of the vibration limiting mechanism 41 cooperate to form a vibration limiting space, which is located above the conveying device 1 and above the vibration horizontal position. When the vibration table 42 is in the vibration operation position, the fire extinguisher in the vibration horizontal position extends into the vibration limiting space. At this time, driven by the vibration drive component 43, the fire extinguisher vibrates within the vibration limiting space. The vibration limiting mechanism 41 restricts the position of the fire extinguisher, preventing positional displacement during vibration and affecting the processing progress. A certain height is reserved between the lower edge of the vibration limiting mechanism 41 and the conveying surface of the conveying device 1, allowing the conveying device 1 to drive the fire extinguisher through the space between the vibration limiting mechanism 41 and the conveying device 1.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate fixing the position of the fire extinguisher during vibration, the vibration table 42 is provided with a vibration limiting slot, and the fire extinguisher is located in the vibration limiting slot when it is in the horizontal position during vibration.

[0051] The transfer device 3 includes a transfer moving part and a transfer gripping part. The transfer moving part drives the transfer gripping part to transfer the fire extinguisher at the loading preparation position to the vibrating horizontal position.

[0052] For details, please refer to Figures 1-3 The transfer device 3 is used to transfer the fire extinguisher from the loading preparation position to the vibration limiting space. The transfer moving part includes a transfer guide rail, a transfer moving part and a transfer drive part. The transfer drive part drives the transfer moving part to move along the transfer guide rail. The transfer moving part is equipped with a transfer height adjustment part, which is a vertically arranged telescopic component such as a cylinder, oil cylinder, or electric push rod. The telescopic part of the transfer height adjustment part is equipped with a transfer gripper, which is a tooling fixture suitable for gripping the fire extinguisher. After the transfer gripper grips the fire extinguisher provided by the loading gripper 23 at the loading preparation position, the transfer moving part drives the transfer gripper to move to the vibration limiting space. After the transfer gripper releases the fire extinguisher, the fire extinguisher falls into the vibration limiting space and is in the vibration horizontal position.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The extinguisher head orientation device 5 includes an orientation lifting drive 51, an orientation support mechanism 52, an orientation drive mechanism 53, and an orientation detection component 54. The orientation support mechanism 52 includes two support members driven to rotate by the orientation drive mechanism 53. The two support members and the space between them constitute an orientation horizontal position. The lifting part of the orientation lifting drive 51 is connected to the orientation support mechanism 52, and the orientation lifting drive 51 drives the orientation support mechanism 52 to move between an orientation operation position higher than the conveying surface of the conveying device 1 and an orientation yielding position lower than the conveying surface of the conveying device 1. The orientation detection component 54 is set on the head end side of the orientation horizontal position and detects the orientation of the extinguisher head.

[0054] Specifically, the directional support mechanism 52 includes two support members, which are mounted on the actuating part of the directional lifting drive 51 via bearings. Both support members can rotate and their rotation axes are parallel. The two support members and the space between them constitute a directional horizontal position. The fire extinguisher can be supported in the directional horizontal position by the two support members. The rotation of the two support members can drive the fire extinguisher in the directional horizontal position to rotate and adjust circumferentially. The directional drive mechanism 53 is located in the actuating part of the directional lifting drive 51. The power output part of the directional drive mechanism 53 is in transmission cooperation with the two support members. The directional drive mechanism 53 drives the two support members to rotate, thereby driving the fire extinguisher located in the directional horizontal position to rotate and adjust.

[0055] Driven by the directional lifting drive 51, the directional support mechanism 52 moves up and down between the directional operation position and the directional yielding position. The directional support mechanism 52 is located near the conveying device 1. When the directional support mechanism 52 is in the directional operation position, it is higher than the conveying surface of the conveying device 1. At this time, the fire extinguisher can be placed in the directional horizontal position and detached from the conveying surface of the conveying device 1. The directional support mechanism 52 prevents the conveying device 1 from carrying other fire extinguishers past the directional support mechanism 52. When the directional support mechanism 52 is in the directional yielding position, it is lower than the conveying surface of the conveying device 1. At this time, the fire extinguisher on the conveying device 1 can pass over the directional support mechanism 52.

[0056] The orientation detection element 54 detects the position of the pressure gauge or handle of the fire extinguisher head. The orientation of the extinguisher head is determined by the relative position of the air inlet to the pressure gauge or handle in the circumferential direction. As a specific example, the orientation detection element 54 is a photoelectric switch.

[0057] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 7 The clamping and inflation device 6 includes an inflation lifting drive 61, a head end fitting 62, a bottom end fitting 63, a clamping drive 64, and an inflation tool 65. The lifting part of the inflation lifting drive 61 is provided with an inflation platform, and the inflation platform is provided with an inflation horizontal position. The lifting drive drives the inflation platform to move between an inflation operation position higher than the conveying surface of the conveying device 1 and an inflation yielding position lower than the conveying surface of the conveying device 1. The head end fitting is provided on the head end side and the bottom end side of the inflation horizontal position, respectively. The fitting 62 and the bottom fitting 63 of the bottle, the head fitting 62 and the bottom fitting 63 of the bottle respectively engage with the head and bottom of the fire extinguisher in the horizontal position of inflation and clamp the fire extinguisher in the horizontal position of inflation. The head fitting 62 is set on the actuating part of the clamping drive 64 and is driven by the clamping drive 64 to move between the clamping position and the clamping standby position. The inflation part of the inflation tool 65 is set on the head fitting 62 and the inflation tool 65 inflates the fire extinguisher clamped in the horizontal position of inflation.

[0058] Specifically, the lifting part of the inflation lifting drive 61 is equipped with an inflation platform, and the inflation platform is equipped with an inflation horizontal position. The inflation lifting drive 61 drives the inflation platform to move up and down between the inflation operation position and the inflation yielding position. The inflation platform is located near the conveying device 1. Under the drive of the inflation lifting drive 61, when the inflation platform is in the inflation operation position, the inflation platform is higher than the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism. At this time, the fire extinguisher can be placed in the inflation horizontal position and the fire extinguisher is separated from the conveying surface of the conveying device 1 when it is in the inflation horizontal position. The inflation platform prevents the conveying device 1 from carrying other fire extinguishers past the inflation platform. When the inflation platform is in the inflation yielding position, the inflation platform is lower than the conveying surface of the conveying device 1. At this time, the fire extinguishers on the conveying device 1 can pass over the inflation platform.

[0059] The head-end fitting 62 is located on the head end side of the horizontal inflation position, and the bottom-end fitting 63 is located on the bottom end side of the horizontal inflation position. When the inflation platform is in the inflation operation position, the head-end fitting 62 and the bottom-end fitting 63 cooperate to clamp the fire extinguisher on the inflation platform, and the inflation tool 65 inflates the clamped fire extinguisher. The head-end fitting 62 is adapted to the head of the fire extinguisher, and the bottom-end fitting 63 is adapted to the bottom of the fire extinguisher; together, they stably clamp the fire extinguisher. A clamping drive 64 is provided on the head end side of the inflatable horizontal position. The actuating part of the clamping drive 64 is connected to the head end fitting 62. The clamping drive 64 drives the head end fitting 62 to move between the clamping position and the clamping standby position. When the head end fitting 62 is in the clamping position, it is located close to the bottom end fitting 63, and the head end fitting 62 and the bottom end fitting 63 cooperate to clamp the fire extinguisher in the inflatable horizontal position. When the head end fitting 62 is in the clamping standby position, it is located away from the bottom end fitting 63. The conveying device 1 can convey the fire extinguisher between the head end fitting 62 and the bottom end fitting 63. Under the drive of the clamping drive 64, the movement direction of the head end fitting 62 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying device 1.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the horizontal fire extinguisher inflation device inflates the fire extinguisher, it first transports the fire extinguisher to the loading platform 21 of the tilting loading device 2. The fire extinguisher is set vertically on the loading platform 21. After the loading gripper 23 grips the fire extinguisher, the loading drive 22 drives the loading gripper 23 to move to the loading preparation position through the reversing transmission component. When the loading gripper 23 is in the loading preparation position, the fire extinguisher is in a horizontal position. The loading gripper 23 releases the fire extinguisher. The vibration lifting drive 45 drives the vibration lifting platform 44 to the vibration operation position. The transfer device 3 transfers the fire extinguisher at the feeding gripper 23 to the vibrating horizontal position. At this time, the fire extinguisher is in the vibration limit space. The vibration drive 43 drives the vibration table 42 to vibrate, causing the fire extinguisher on the vibration table 42 to vibrate continuously. After the vibration operation is completed, the vibration lifting drive 45 drives the vibration table 42 from the vibration operation position to the vibration yielding position. During the descent of the vibration table 42, the fire extinguisher on the vibration table 42 falls onto the conveying device 1. The conveying device 1 drives the fire extinguisher to move towards the head adjustment device 5.

[0061] When the directional support mechanism 52 is adjusted to the directional yielding position, and the fire extinguisher is conveyed by the conveying device 1 to a position above the directional support mechanism 52, the directional lifting drive 51 drives the directional support mechanism 52 to rise from the directional yielding position to the directional operation position. The rising of the directional support mechanism 52 transfers the fire extinguisher located above the directional support mechanism 52 on the conveying device 1 to the directional support mechanism 52. The fire extinguisher is in the directional horizontal position. The directional drive mechanism 53 drives the two support members of the directional support mechanism 52 to rotate the fire extinguisher. With the cooperation of the directional detection component 54, the fire extinguisher rotates to the designated state. Then, the directional lifting drive 51 drives the directional support mechanism 52 to descend from the directional operation position to the directional yielding position. During the descent of the directional support mechanism 52, the fire extinguisher located on the directional support mechanism 52 is transferred to the conveying device 1.

[0062] When the inflation platform is in the inflation yielding position, and the conveying device 1 delivers the adjusted fire extinguisher to the top of the inflation platform, the inflation lifting drive 61 raises the inflation platform from the inflation yielding position to the inflation operation position. This raising of the inflation platform transfers the fire extinguisher from the conveying device 1 to the inflation platform, placing the fire extinguisher in the inflation horizontal position. The clamping drive 64 moves the head end fitting 62 from the clamping standby position to the clamping position. The head end fitting 62 and the bottom end fitting 63 cooperate to clamp the fire extinguisher in the inflation horizontal position. The extinguisher head mates with the extinguisher head end fitting 62, and the extinguisher's inflation port is in an orientation suitable for mates with the inflation part of the inflation tool 65. The inflation tool 65 inflates the extinguisher. After inflation is complete, the clamping drive 64 moves the extinguisher head end fitting 62 from the clamping position to the clamping standby position and releases the clamp on the extinguisher. The inflation lifting drive 61 lowers the inflation platform from the inflation operation position to the inflation yielding position and transfers the extinguisher on the inflation platform to the conveying device 1. The conveying device 1 conveys the extinguisher to the next processing step.

[0063] In order to monitor the inflation progress of the fire extinguisher and enable personnel to quickly observe the gas pressure inside the fire extinguisher, in a preferred embodiment, the clamping inflation device 6 also includes an inflation detection mechanism 66. The detection part of the inflation detection mechanism 66 is set on the fitting part 62 at the head end, and the inflation detection mechanism 66 detects the pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher clamped in the inflation horizontal position.

[0064] Specifically, the inflation detection mechanism 66 is used in conjunction with the pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher to obtain the air pressure of the fire extinguisher by detecting the pressure gauge. The detection part of the inflation detection mechanism 66 is set on the head end fitting part 62. When the head end fitting part 62 and the bottom end fitting part 63 cooperate to clamp the fire extinguisher in the inflation horizontal position, the fire extinguisher head is engaged with the head end fitting part 62 in a predetermined state. At the same time, the pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher is in the state of the corresponding detection part. During the inflation process of the inflation tool 65, the inflation detection mechanism 66 obtains the air pressure of the fire extinguisher by detecting the value of the pressure gauge.

[0065] As a specific example, the inflation detection mechanism 66 is a visual inspection system. The detection unit of the inflation detection mechanism 66 is a camera. When the fire extinguisher is being inflated, the detection unit takes a picture or video of the pressure gauge and uploads it to the main unit of the inflation detection mechanism 66. The main unit analyzes the information captured by the detection unit to determine the air pressure of the fire extinguisher, so that personnel can quickly understand the air pressure of the fire extinguisher and the inflation progress of the fire extinguisher.

[0066] When inflating a fire extinguisher, to ensure effective inflation, the inflation head of the inflation tool 65 needs precise alignment with the extinguisher's inflation port. This requires the head end fitting 62 and the bottom end fitting 63 to clamp the extinguisher. However, due to unavoidable manufacturing errors, when the actual length of the fire extinguisher is less than the designed length, the bottom end fitting 63 and the head end fitting 62 may not be able to stably clamp the extinguisher, thus affecting the inflation efficiency. When the actual length of the fire extinguisher is greater than the designed length, the head end fitting 62 and / or the bottom end fitting 63 may be damaged. To address these issues, in some embodiments, during inflation... A clamping bracket 68 is provided on the bottom side of the air-positioned device. A position compensation mechanism 69 is provided on the clamping bracket 68. The position compensation mechanism 69 includes a guide rod. The guide rod is parallel to the movement direction of the head end fitting 62. The guide rod is installed on the clamping bracket 68 and can move relative to the clamping bracket 68 along the length of the rod. A guide groove is provided at the end of the guide rod. Waist holes are provided on the guide rod along the length of the rod. Each waist hole is provided with a limiter. An inner rod is provided in the guide groove. The inner rod moves along the axial direction of the guide rod in the guide groove and is connected to each limiter. The end of the inner rod extending out of the guide groove is connected to the bottom end fitting 63 of the bottle. A spring is provided on the rod body extending out of the guide groove between the bottom end fitting and the guide rod.

[0067] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The clamping bracket 68 is located at the bottom of the inflatable horizontal position. The clamping bracket 68 assists in the installation of the bottom fitting part 63 of the bottle. The clamping bracket 68 is equipped with a position compensation mechanism 69. The bottom fitting part 63 of the bottle is installed on the clamping bracket 68 through the position compensation mechanism 69. Under the action of the position compensation mechanism 69, the bottom fitting part 63 of the bottle can be moved and adjusted. The movement direction of the bottom fitting part 63 of the bottle is parallel to the movement direction of the head fitting part 62 of the fire extinguisher. The bottom fitting part 63 of the bottle can be adjusted according to the specifications of the fire extinguisher or the processing error of the fire extinguisher in the length direction, so that the bottom fitting part 63 of the bottle can be moved closer to or away from the head fitting part 62 of the fire extinguisher.

[0068] The position compensation mechanism 69 includes a guide rod, which moves parallel to the direction of movement of the head end fitting 62. The guide rod is mounted on the clamping bracket 68 via a linear bearing and can move along its length. The bottle bottom end fitting 63 is mounted on the guide rod, and its position can be adjusted by moving the guide rod. To facilitate fixing the guide rod, in some embodiments, the linear bearing is a linear bearing with a clamping handle; in other embodiments, the clamping bracket 68 is provided with a guide rod clamping and locking structure.

[0069] To enable the bottom fitting 63 of the bottle to automatically compensate for the position of the fire extinguisher according to the error, a guide groove is provided at the end of the guide rod facing the head fitting 62. The guide groove extends along the length of the guide rod, and a waist hole is provided on the guide rod. The waist hole is set along the length of the guide rod. There may be one waist hole or multiple waist holes set along the circumference of the guide rod. A limit member is provided in each waist hole. The limit member moves along the length of the waist hole and within the length range of the waist hole. An inner rod is provided in the guide groove. The inner rod is connected to each limit member. The inner rod moves and adjusts along the length of the guide groove within the length range of the waist hole. The bottom fitting 63 of the bottle is located at the end of the inner rod that extends out of the guide groove. A spring is fitted on the inner rod. One end of the spring abuts against the end of the guide rod, and the other end abuts against the bottom fitting 63 of the bottle. When the guide rod is fixed relative to the clamping bracket 68, the inner rod can also drive the bottom fitting 63 of the bottle to move and adjust within a certain range. When the bottom fitting 63 of the bottle and the head fitting 62 cooperate to clamp the fire extinguisher, the bottom fitting 63 of the bottle can move and adjust within a certain range, thereby automatically compensating for the position.

[0070] Adjust the position of the guide rod according to the length of the fire extinguisher to be inflated. When the guide rod is fixed relative to the clamping bracket 68, the fire extinguisher is clamped by the bottom fitting 63 and the head fitting 62. If the actual length of the fire extinguisher is greater than the design length, the inner rod moves a longer distance in the direction of the guide rod when the fire extinguisher is clamped, and the spring compression is greater. If the actual length of the fire extinguisher is less than the design length, the inner rod moves a shorter distance in the direction of the guide rod when the fire extinguisher is clamped, and the spring compression is less. The position compensation mechanism 69 compensates the position of the bottom fitting 63 to ensure that the head fitting 62 and the bottom fitting 63 can clamp the fire extinguisher in the horizontal position when it is being inflated.

[0071] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 7 As a specific example of the bottom fitting 63, the bottom fitting 63 includes a bottom baffle. When the bottom fitting 63 and the head fitting 62 are used to clamp the fire extinguisher, the bottom of the fire extinguisher abuts against the bottom baffle.

[0072] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As a specific example of the head end fitting 62, the head end fitting 62 includes a head fixing part 621, an air valve opening and closing part 622, and an inflation adjusting part 623. The head fixing part 621 is provided with a head receiving groove, which passes through the two opposite ends of the head fixing part 621. The inflation adjusting part 623 and the air valve opening and closing part 622 are respectively provided at the two ends of the head receiving groove. The inflation part of the inflation tool 65 is located in the actuating part of the inflation adjusting part 623 and is driven by the inflation adjusting part 623 to move between the inflation position and the inflation standby position. The actuating part of the air valve opening and closing part 622 is provided with a handle fitting part, and the air valve opening and closing part 622 drives the handle fitting part to move between the air valve open position and the air valve open standby position. The head fixing part 621 is also provided with a pressure gauge clearance hole, which communicates with the head receiving groove. The detection part of the inflation detection mechanism 66 is located outside the pressure gauge clearance hole.

[0073] Specifically, the head fixing member 621 is located on the actuating part of the clamping drive member 64. A head receiving groove is provided on the end face of the head fixing member 621 facing the bottom fitting member 63. The head receiving groove extends through both opposite ends of the head fixing member 621 and has a U-shaped groove structure. The inflation regulating member 623 and the valve opening / closing member 622 are both located outside the head fixing member 621 and at opposite ends of the head receiving groove. When the head fitting member 62 and the bottom fitting member 63 clamp the fire extinguisher in its horizontal position while it is being inflated, the fire extinguisher head engages with the head fitting member 62, and the fire extinguisher head extends into the head receiving groove. The inflation port on the fire extinguisher head faces the inflation regulating member 623, and the operating part of the handle on the fire extinguisher head is located at the corresponding valve opening / closing member 622.

[0074] The actuating part of the valve opening / closing component 622 is equipped with a handle fitting. The valve opening / closing component 622 drives the handle fitting to move between the valve open position and the valve open standby position. When the fire extinguisher head engages with the head end fitting 62, the operating part of the handle on the head engages with the handle fitting. When the handle fitting is in the valve open standby position, the fire extinguisher's gas valve is closed under the action of the internal reset mechanism of the fire extinguisher's handle. When it is necessary to open the fire extinguisher's gas valve, the handle opening / closing component drives the handle fitting to move towards the valve open position. The handle fitting presses the operating part of the fire extinguisher's handle and opens the fire extinguisher's gas valve. When it is necessary to close the fire extinguisher's gas valve, the valve opening / closing component 622 drives the handle fitting to move to the valve open standby position. Under the action of the internal reset mechanism of the handle, the operating part of the handle resets and closes the gas valve.

[0075] The valve opening / closing component 622 is preferably a cylinder, but it can also be a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod, or other telescopic component. In some embodiments, to prevent the handle from rubbing against the head fixing component 621 or other components and causing the handle to fail to return to its original position, a guide rod is provided on the handle mating component. When the valve is opened or closed, the guide rod contacts the handle and prevents the handle from rubbing against the head fixing component 621 or other components.

[0076] The inflation part of the inflation tool 65 is located in the actuating part of the inflation adjustment component 623. The inflation adjustment component 623 drives the inflation part to move between the inflation position and the inflation standby position. When the fire extinguisher head is engaged with the head end fitting 62, the head fixing component 621 fixes the position and orientation of the head. The inflation port of the fire extinguisher faces the direction of the inflation adjustment component 623. When the inflation adjustment component 623 drives the inflation part to the inflation position, the inflation part engages with the inflation port of the fire extinguisher. At this time, with the fire extinguisher valve open, the inflation tool 65 can inflate the fire extinguisher. After inflation is completed, the fire extinguisher valve closes and the inflation adjustment component 623 drives the inflation part to disengage from the inflation port and move to the inflation standby position.

[0077] The inflation adjustment component 623 is preferably a cylinder, but can also be a telescopic component such as an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0078] The extinguisher head fixing member 621 is also provided with a pressure gauge clearance hole, which penetrates the end face of the extinguisher head fixing member 621 facing the bottom fitting member 63. When the extinguisher head is inserted into the extinguisher head receiving groove, the pressure gauge on the extinguisher head enters the pressure gauge clearance hole. The pressure gauge clearance hole not only provides a receiving position for the pressure gauge, but also further limits the orientation of the extinguisher head. The detection part of the inflation detection mechanism 66 is located outside the extinguisher head fixing member 621 at the position corresponding to the pressure gauge clearance hole. After the extinguisher head is inserted into the extinguisher head receiving groove, the inflation detection mechanism 66 can detect the pressure gauge, thereby detecting the gas pressure of the extinguisher during the inflation process.

[0079] In some embodiments, a supplementary light is provided on the outside of the extinguisher head fixing member 621 to improve the detection effect of the fire extinguisher inflation detection mechanism 66 on the fire extinguisher. The supplementary light is preferably a ring-shaped supplementary light, and the detection part of the inflation detection mechanism 66 is disposed inside the ring-shaped supplementary light.

[0080] Please see Figure 7 To further ensure the position of the fire extinguisher and prevent the fire extinguisher from moving when the head end fitting 62 and the bottom end fitting 63 are clamped, in some embodiments, an auxiliary fixing member 67 is provided above the inflation horizontal position. The auxiliary fixing member 67 includes a height adjustment member and rollers. The moving part of the height adjustment member is provided with two rollers and the height adjustment member drives the two rollers to rise and fall. The two rollers are parallel to each other, and the two rollers and the space between the two rollers constitute the auxiliary fixing position of the fire extinguisher.

[0081] Specifically, the auxiliary fixing component 67 includes a height adjusting component and rollers. The height adjusting component is mounted on the clamping bracket 68 and is vertically positioned. The actuating part of the height adjusting component has two rollers. The two rollers are parallel to each other and both are parallel to the movement direction of the head end fitting 62. The height adjusting component drives the two rollers to move up and down synchronously. The two rollers and the space between them constitute the auxiliary fixing position of the fire extinguisher. Both rollers are located directly above the inflation horizontal position, placing the auxiliary fixing position of the fire extinguisher directly above the inflation horizontal position. When the fire extinguisher is in the inflation horizontal position, the height adjusting component drives the two rollers to descend, and the two rollers contact the top of the fire extinguisher, placing the fire extinguisher in the auxiliary fixing position as well, preventing the fire extinguisher from rolling when clamped in the inflation horizontal position.

[0082] The height adjustment component is preferably a cylinder, but it can also be a telescopic component such as a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0083] To prevent fire extinguishers from rolling in the horizontal inflation position, in some embodiments, the upper surface of the inflation platform is set as a V-shaped surface. When the fire extinguisher is in the horizontal inflation position, it is restricted by the upper surface of the inflation platform and thus cannot roll.

[0084] Please see Figure 9 In order to adjust the orientation of fire extinguishers of various sizes, in some embodiments, an adjustment mechanism 55 is provided on the head end side of the horizontal orientation position. The adjustment mechanism 55 includes an adjustment base, an adjustment guide rail and an adjustment slide. The adjustment guide rail is set on the adjustment base and is parallel to the rotation axis of each support shaft. The adjustment slide is set on the adjustment guide rail and moves along the adjustment guide rail. The orientation detection element 54 is set on the adjustment slide.

[0085] Specifically, an adjustment mechanism 55 is provided on the head end side of the horizontal position. The adjustment mechanism 55 is mainly used to adjust the position of the orientation detection element 54 according to the specifications of the fire extinguisher, so that the orientation detection element 54 can be adapted to the fire extinguisher, thereby enabling precise adjustment of the orientation of the fire extinguisher's inflation port using the head orientation device 5. The adjustment base includes an adjustment base, an adjustment guide rail, and an adjustment slide. The adjustment base is located on the head end side of the horizontal position and is fixedly mounted on the equipment frame or a dedicated support structure of the horizontal inflation device for fire extinguishers. The adjustment base is provided with an adjustment guide rail, which is parallel to the movement direction of the head end mating part 62. An adjustment slide is provided on the adjustment guide rail, and the adjustment slide moves along the adjustment guide rail for adjustment. The orientation detection element 54 is located on the adjustment slide, and the position of the adjustment slide can be adjusted by moving the adjustment slide along the adjustment guide rail.

[0086] Please see Figure 9 As an optional embodiment, the adjusting slide is provided with a head detection and adjustment mechanism 55. The head detection and adjustment mechanism 55 includes a first horizontal rod, a first vertical rod, and a first depth rod. The first horizontal rod is disposed on the adjusting slide, and the first vertical rod is disposed on the first horizontal rod. The first vertical rod and the first horizontal rod are connected by a cross-shaped connector, and the first vertical rod is perpendicular to the first horizontal rod. The first vertical rod can be adjusted by moving along the first horizontal rod and also by moving along its own length. The first depth rod is disposed on the first vertical rod and is perpendicular to both the first vertical rod and the first horizontal rod. The first depth rod is connected to the first vertical rod by a cross-shaped connector. The first depth rod can be adjusted by moving along the first vertical rod and also by moving along its own length. An orientation detection element 54 is disposed on the first depth rod. The orientation detection element 54 can be adjusted in multiple directions by the head detection and adjustment mechanism 55.

[0087] In some embodiments, the extinguisher head adjustment device 5 further includes a dust removal mechanism, the dust removal part of which is disposed on the adjustment slide and the dust removal mechanism cleans the extinguisher head in the horizontal position.

[0088] As a specific example of a dust removal mechanism, the dust removal mechanism is an air jet device, including an air source device and a nozzle. The nozzle is the dust removal part of the dust removal mechanism. The nozzle is connected to the air source device through an air pipeline. The gas provided by the air source device is blown through the nozzle to the pressure gauge, air inlet and other positions on the fire extinguisher head that need to be cleaned, so as to clean the dust from the fire extinguisher head.

[0089] As an optional embodiment, a dust removal adjustment mechanism 55 is provided on the adjusting slide. The dust removal adjustment mechanism 55 is similar to the head detection adjustment mechanism 55. The dust removal adjustment mechanism 55 includes a second horizontal rod, a second vertical rod, and a second depth rod. The second horizontal rod is provided on the slide, and the second vertical rod is provided on the second horizontal rod and connected to the second horizontal rod through a cross-shaped connector. The second vertical rod is perpendicular to the second horizontal rod. The second vertical rod can be adjusted by moving along the second horizontal rod or by moving along its own axial direction. The second depth rod is provided on the second vertical rod. The second depth rod is perpendicular to both the second vertical rod and the second horizontal rod. The second depth rod can be adjusted by moving along the second vertical rod or by moving along its own length. The dust removal part of the dust removal mechanism is provided on the second depth rod.

[0090] To simplify the equipment structure, in some embodiments, the first transverse bar and the second transverse bar are the same.

[0091] Please see Figures 1-5 The reversing transmission component includes a transmission base 24, a first rotating shaft 25, and a second rotating shaft 26. The first rotating shaft 25 is mounted on the transmission base 24 and rotates relative to the transmission base 24. The first rotating shaft 25 is provided with a clearance hole. The second rotating shaft 26 passes through the clearance hole and is perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 25. Both the second rotating shaft 26 and the first rotating shaft 25 are provided with bevel gears, and the two bevel gears are engaged in transmission. The power output end of the feeding drive component 22 is connected to the first rotating shaft 25 and drives the first rotating shaft 25 and the second rotating shaft 26 to rotate. The feeding gripper 23 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 26 and is driven by the feeding drive component 22 to flip the fire extinguisher standing on the feeding platform 21 and place it horizontally to the feeding preparation position.

[0092] Specifically, the transmission base 24 is fixedly mounted on the equipment frame of the horizontal fire extinguisher charging device. The first rotating shaft 25 is rotatably mounted on the transmission base 24 via bearing components. The first rotating shaft 25 can rotate relative to the transmission base 24. A clearance hole is provided on the shaft of the first rotating shaft 25, which is perpendicular to the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 25 and passes through the shaft of the first rotating shaft 25. The second rotating shaft 26 passes through the clearance hole, is perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 25, and can rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 25. The second rotating shaft 26 and the first rotating shaft 25 can be connected by bearing components to ensure a stable fit between them. Both the first rotating shaft 25 and the second rotating shaft 26 are provided with bevel gears. The two bevel gears are engaged in a transmission mechanism. With the engagement of the two bevel gears, when the first rotating shaft 25 rotates, it can not only drive the second rotating shaft 26 to rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 25, but also drive the second rotating shaft 26 to rotate around its own axis.

[0093] The power output end of the feeding drive 22 is connected to the first rotating shaft 25, and the feeding gripper 23 is set on the second rotating shaft 26. The feeding drive 22 drives the first rotating shaft 25 and the second rotating shaft 26 to rotate. The fire extinguisher gripped by the feeding gripper 23 can flip from a vertical state to a horizontal state around the axis of the first rotating shaft 25, and can also flip around the axis of the second rotating shaft 26 to adjust the orientation of the head and the bottom of the bottle.

[0094] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission seat 24 has a U-shaped structure, and the first rotating shaft 25 and the second rotating shaft 26 are both disposed in the U-shaped cavity of the transmission seat 24. Both ends of the first rotating shaft 25 are rotatably connected to the transmission seat 24 through bearing components.

[0095] To ensure that the feeding gripper 23 can grip the center of the fire extinguisher on the feeding platform 21 for subsequent processing, in some embodiments, the feeding platform 21 is connected to the actuating end of the feeding height adjustment component, which is driven by the feeding height adjustment component to adjust its height. The feeding height adjustment component is preferably a cylinder. When the equipment processes longer fire extinguishers, the feeding height adjustment component lowers the feeding platform 21 by an appropriate distance after the fire extinguisher is placed on it. When the equipment processes shorter fire extinguishers, the feeding height adjustment component raises the feeding platform 21 by an appropriate distance after the fire extinguisher is placed on it, ensuring that the feeding gripper 23 can grip the center of the fire extinguisher.

[0096] Please see Figures 1-3 as well as Figure 6 The vibration limiting mechanism 41 includes limiting baffles, and the inner end faces of each limiting baffle cooperate to form a vibration limiting space. When the vibration table 42 is in the vibration operation position, the vibration horizontal position is within the vibration limiting space.

[0097] Specifically, the vibration limiting mechanism 41 includes limiting baffles, which are positioned above the vibration table 42. The inner end faces of each limiting baffle cooperate to form a vibration limiting space. Four limiting baffles can be configured, forming a rectangular cylindrical structure with open top and bottom ends. The space between the four limiting baffles is the vibration limiting space. Alternatively, two vibration baffles can be configured, each corresponding to one side of the conveying direction of the conveying device 1. The space between the two vibration baffles is also the vibration limiting space. Preferably, two vibration baffles are used to facilitate the transfer device 3 quickly transferring the fire extinguisher from the loading gripper 23 into the vibration limiting space. When the vibration table 42 is in the vibration operation position, the fire extinguisher in the horizontal vibration position is within the vibration limiting space. The vibration drive 43 drives the vibration table 42 to vibrate, causing the fire extinguisher to vibrate within the vibration limiting space.

[0098] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 9The conveying device 1 includes a conveying drive and two conveying components. Both conveying components are connected to the conveying drive and are driven to rotate synchronously by the conveying drive. Both conveying components are equipped with fire extinguisher anti-roll supports. The vibration mechanism, the directional support mechanism 52 and the inflation platform are all located between the two conveying components.

[0099] Specifically, the conveying components are transmission chains or transmission belts. Two conveying components are arranged side by side, and their upper edges cooperate to form the conveying surface of the conveying device 1. A conveying drive component drives the two conveying components to rotate synchronously and in the same direction. Each conveying component is equipped with anti-roll supports for fire extinguishers. Each anti-roll support on one conveying component corresponds to an anti-roll support on the other conveying component. When the fire extinguisher is on the conveying device 1, the upper edges of the two conveying components cooperate to support the fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher cooperates with the two corresponding anti-roll supports on the two conveying components to prevent the fire extinguisher from rolling during transport. As a specific example, the anti-roll support includes two stop protrusions. When the fire extinguisher is engaged with the anti-roll support, the fire extinguisher is positioned between the two stop protrusions, which prevent the fire extinguisher from rotating in either direction.

[0100] The vibration mechanism is located between the two conveying components to facilitate the transfer of the fire extinguisher from the vibrating horizontal position to the conveying device 1. The directional support mechanism 52 is located between the two conveying components to facilitate the movement of the fire extinguisher between the conveying device 1 and the directional horizontal position. The inflation platform is located between the two conveying components to facilitate the movement of the fire extinguisher between the inflation platform and the conveying device 1.

[0101] Please see Figures 1-7 and Figures 9-10To improve efficiency, in some embodiments, the reversing transmission mechanism of the tilting feeding device 2 has two feeding grippers 23 arranged side by side, and the feeding platform 21 can hold two fire extinguishers side by side. The tilting feeding device 2 can simultaneously transfer the two fire extinguishers on the feeding platform 21 to a position suitable for transfer by the transfer device 3. The transfer moving mechanism of the transfer device 3 has two transfer grippers arranged side by side, and the vibration table 42 of the vibration treatment device 4 has two vibration placement positions arranged side by side. The transfer device 3 can simultaneously transfer the two fire extinguishers at the tilting feeding device 2 to the vibration treatment device 4. The lifting drive mechanism of the head adjustment device 5 has two lifting parts arranged side by side.

[0102] Based on the same inventive concept, Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a horizontal inflation method for fire extinguishers, utilizing the horizontal inflation device for fire extinguishers described in Embodiment 1, and includes the following steps:

[0103] S1. The feeding drive unit 22 drives the reversing transmission unit to move the feeding gripper 23 to the top of the feeding platform 21, and places the fire extinguisher upright on the feeding platform 21. The height of the feeding platform 21 is adjusted so that the feeding gripper 23 can grab the center of the fire extinguisher. After the feeding gripper 23 grabs the fire extinguisher on the feeding platform 21, the feeding drive unit 22 drives the feeding gripper 23 to flip the grabbed fire extinguisher and place it horizontally in the feeding preparation position through the driving reversing transmission unit.

[0104] Specifically, the feeding drive 22 drives the feeding gripper 23 to move above the feeding platform 21 via the drive reversing transmission component. The feeding gripper 23 is in a state of waiting to grab the fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher is erected on the feeding platform 21. The height of the feeding platform 21 is adjusted according to the specifications of the fire extinguisher so that the feeding gripper 23 can directly grab the center of the fire extinguisher. After the feeding gripper 23 grabs the fire extinguisher on the feeding platform 21, the feeding drive 22 drives the feeding gripper 23 to move to the feeding preparation position via the drive reversing transmission component. During the movement of the feeding gripper 23, the fire extinguisher grabbed by the feeding gripper 23 flips from vertical to horizontal around the axis of the first rotating shaft 25, and at the same time flips around the axis of the second rotating shaft 26. When the feeding gripper 23 is in the feeding preparation position, the feeding gripper 23 is located above the first rotating shaft 25.

[0105] S2. The transfer moving part drives the transfer grabbing part to the loading preparation position. The transfer grabbing part grabs the fire extinguisher at the loading preparation position. After the loading grabbing part 23 releases the fire extinguisher, the transfer moving part drives the transfer grabbing part to move and transfer the grabbed fire extinguisher to the vibration limiting space.

[0106] Specifically, the transfer moving component moves the transfer gripper to above the loading preparation position, the transfer height adjusting component moves the transfer gripper down, the transfer gripper grabs the fire extinguisher from the loading gripper 23, the transfer height adjusting component raises the transfer gripper, and then the transfer driving component moves the transfer moving component and the transfer gripper along the transfer guide rail, and the transfer gripper moves into the vibration limiting space.

[0107] S3. The vibration lifting drive 45 moves the vibration table 42 to the vibration operation position. The transfer grabbing part releases the grabbed fire extinguisher and makes the fire extinguisher fall to the vibration horizontal position. Then, the vibration drive 43 drives the vibration table 42 to vibrate, causing the fire extinguisher in the vibration horizontal position to vibrate within the vibration limit space. After the vibration is completed, the vibration drive 43 stops driving, and the vibration lifting drive 45 drives the vibration table 42 to descend to the vibration yielding position. During the descent of the vibration table 42, the fire extinguisher in the vibration horizontal position falls onto the conveying device 1 and is conveyed by the conveying device 1.

[0108] Specifically, after the vibration table 42 moves to the vibration operation position, the transfer height adjustment component drives the transfer gripper to descend. The transfer gripper releases the fire extinguisher and allows it to fall onto the vibration horizontal position. The vibration drive component 43 drives the vibration table 42 to vibrate, thereby causing the fire extinguisher in the vibration horizontal position to vibrate within the vibration space. The limiting plates of the vibration limiting mechanism 41 cooperate to restrict the position of the fire extinguisher, preventing the fire extinguisher from shifting position during vibration. The vibration processing mechanism continuously vibrates the fire extinguisher, loosening the powder in the fire extinguisher's filling port, making it easier to refill the fire extinguisher later. After the vibration processing is completed, the vibration drive component 43 stops driving, and the lifting drive component drives the vibration table 42 to descend to the vibration yielding position. During the descent of the vibration table 42, the fire extinguisher is transferred from the vibration table 42 to the conveying device 1. The conveying device 1 then transports the fire extinguisher to the head adjusting device 5.

[0109] S4. When the directional lifting drive 51 drives the directional support mechanism 52 to the directional yielding position, and the conveying device 1 moves the fire extinguisher above the directional yielding position, the directional lifting drive 51 drives the directional support mechanism 52 to the directional operation position. During the lifting process of the directional support mechanism 52, the fire extinguisher is transferred from the conveying device 1 to the directional horizontal position. The directional drive drives the rotation of each support component of the directional support mechanism 52, causing the fire extinguisher in the directional horizontal position to rotate. Under the detection of the directional detection component 54, the fire extinguisher rotates to an orientation suitable for cooperating with the head end fitting component 62. After the head is cleaned by the ash removal mechanism, the directional lifting drive 51 drives the directional support mechanism 52 to descend to the directional yielding position. During the descent of the directional support mechanism 52, the fire extinguisher in the directional horizontal position falls onto the conveying device 1. The fire extinguisher is on the conveying device 1 and cooperates with the fire extinguisher anti-roll support component.

[0110] Specifically, when the directional support mechanism 52 is in the directional yielding position, and the conveying device 1 transports the vibrated fire extinguisher to above the directional yielding position, the directional lifting drive 51 drives the directional support mechanism 52 to the directional operation position. During the lifting process, the fire extinguisher located above the directional support mechanism 52 on the conveying device 1 is lifted, and the fire extinguisher is transferred from the conveying device 1 to the directional support mechanism 52 and placed in the directional horizontal position. The directional drive drives the rotation of each support component of the directional support mechanism 52, and the fire extinguisher located on the directional support mechanism 52 rotates with the support components. The directional detection component 54 detects the head of the fire extinguisher, and finally the fire extinguisher in the directional horizontal position is rotated to the designated orientation state. When the fire extinguisher in this orientation state is clamped at the inflation device 6, it can cooperate with the inflation tool 65 for inflation.

[0111] After the fire extinguisher is oriented, the dust removal mechanism cleans the extinguisher head to prevent dust from affecting the subsequent inflation of the extinguisher, such as at the inflation port and pressure gauge. After dust removal, the oriented lifting drive 51 lowers the oriented support mechanism 52 to the oriented yielding position. During the descent, the fire extinguisher is transferred from the oriented support mechanism 52 to the conveying device 1, which then transports it to the clamping inflation device 6. It should be noted that to prevent the fire extinguisher from rolling on the conveying device 1, the oriented support mechanism 52 needs to coordinate with the conveying device 1 during descent so that the fire extinguisher is in a state of cooperation with the anti-roll support when transferred to the conveying device 1.

[0112] S5. When the inflation lifting drive 61 moves the inflation platform to the inflation yielding position and the conveying device 1 moves the fire extinguisher above the inflation horizontal position, the inflation lifting drive 61 raises the inflation platform to the inflation operation position. During the inflation platform raising process, the fire extinguisher is transferred from the conveying device 1 to the inflation horizontal position. The clamping drive 64 moves the head end fitting part 62 from the clamping standby position to the clamping position. The head end fitting part 62 and the bottom end fitting part 63 respectively engage with the head end and bottom end of the fire extinguisher in the inflation horizontal position and clamp the fire extinguisher in the inflation horizontal position. Then, the valve opening and closing part 622 moves the handle fitting part from the valve opening standby position to the valve opening position and opens the fire extinguisher's valve. At the same time, the inflation adjusting part 623 drives the inflation adjustment part to... The inflation unit moves from the inflation standby position to the inflation position and connects with the inflation port of the fire extinguisher. The inflation tool 65 inflates the fire extinguisher. During inflation, the inflation detection mechanism 66 detects the pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher and obtains the air pressure inside the fire extinguisher. After inflation is completed, the valve opening and closing component 622 drives the handle matching component from the valve opening position to the valve opening standby position and closes the fire extinguisher's valve. At the same time, the inflation adjustment component 623 drives the inflation unit from the inflation position to the inflation standby position. The clamping drive component 64 drives the head end matching component 62 from the clamping position to the clamping standby position. Then, the inflation lifting drive component 61 drives the inflation platform to descend to the inflation yielding position. During the descent of the inflation platform, the fire extinguisher in the inflation horizontal position is transferred to the conveying device 1.

[0113] Specifically, when the inflation platform is in the inflation yielding position, and the conveying device 1 moves the fire extinguisher that has been adjusted to the position above the inflation platform, the inflation lifting drive 61 lifts the inflation platform to the inflation operation position. During the lifting process, the fire extinguisher located above the inflation platform on the conveying device 1 is transferred to the inflation platform. The fire extinguisher is in the inflation horizontal position. When the fire extinguisher is in the inflation horizontal position, it is still in the state after being adjusted by the head adjustment device 5.

[0114] After the inflation platform is in the inflation operation position, the clamping drive 64 drives the head end fitting 62 to move from the clamping standby position to the clamping position. When the head end fitting 62 moves to the clamping standby position, it engages with the head end of the fire extinguisher, and the bottom end of the fire extinguisher abuts against the bottom end fitting 63. Because the fire extinguisher is adjusted by the head adjustment mechanism, the head of the fire extinguisher extends into the head receiving groove of the head end fitting 62. The pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher is located within the pressure gauge clearance hole. The inflation port of the fire extinguisher faces the side where the inflation adjustment component 623 is located, and the operating part of the fire extinguisher handle is located at the corresponding gas valve opening / closing component 622. Then, the valve opening / closing component 622 drives the handle cooperating component to move from the valve open standby position to the valve open position. The purpose of this operation is to press the handle of the fire extinguisher to open the fire extinguisher's gas valve. At the same time as the gas valve is opened, the inflation regulating component 623 drives the inflation part to move from the inflation standby position to the inflation position. When the inflation part is in the inflation position, it cooperates with the inflation port of the fire extinguisher. The inflation tool 65 inflates the fire extinguisher. During the inflation process, the inflation detection mechanism 66 detects the pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher and monitors the inflation progress.

[0115] After inflation is complete, the valve opening / closing component 622 moves the handle assembly from the valve open position to the valve open standby position. After the handle assembly releases the handle, the handle automatically resets and closes the fire extinguisher's valve. Simultaneously, the inflation regulating component 623 moves the inflation section from the inflation position to the inflation standby position, disengaging the inflation section from the fire extinguisher's inflation port. Then, the clamping drive component 64 moves the head end assembly 62 from the clamping position to the clamping standby position, where the head end assembly 62 and the bottom end assembly 63 engage to clamp the fire extinguisher. Afterward, the inflation lifting drive component 61 lowers the inflation platform to the inflation yielding position. During the descent of the inflation platform, the fire extinguisher is transferred from the inflation horizontal position to the conveying device 1, which continues to transport the fire extinguisher backward.
