Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of level gauge technology, specifically to a device for wrapping PTFE straps around a level gauge float. Background Technology

[0002] A level gauge float is a floating object used to indicate the liquid level in a level gauge. It is usually a hollow or solid cylindrical object. PTFE (Teflon) strapping is a common maintenance and upkeep method for level gauges, used to prevent corrosion and wear. Before strapping, the float surface needs to be cleaned: wipe the surface with a clean cloth to ensure it is dry and free of oil. Based on the float's size, cut a suitable length of PTFE strapping using scissors. The strapping is then manually wrapped. Currently, due to the smooth outer wall and rounded ends of the float, wrapping the strapping is difficult, so PTFE strapping is usually done manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and increases processing costs. Therefore, we propose a PTFE strapping wrapping device for level gauge floats. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a PTFE strapping device for level gauge floats, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the smooth outer wall and rounded ends of the float make it difficult to wrap the strapping, so the PTFE strapping of the float is usually wrapped manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and increases processing costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a PTFE strapping device for a level gauge float, comprising: a base;

[0005] Also includes:

[0006] A clamping seat, which is disposed at the bottom end of the base, is used to fix and support the parts.

[0007] An adjustment component, disposed at the end of the clamping seat, is used to adjust the position of the level gauge float;

[0008] A fixing frame is disposed at the top of the base and is used to fix some components;

[0009] A winding assembly, disposed inside a fixed frame, is used to wind the level gauge float.

[0010] The adjustment assembly includes a first limiting seat, a transmission gear, a semi-circular gear ring, a fixed plate, an electric telescopic rod, and a slide groove. The transmission gear is movably connected inside the first limiting seat, and the end of the transmission gear is meshed with the semi-circular gear ring. The front end of the semi-circular gear ring is provided with a fixed plate, and the rear end of the fixed plate is provided with an electric telescopic rod. The outer wall of the semi-circular gear ring is provided with a slide groove, and the semi-circular gear ring is slidably connected to the first limiting seat through the slide groove.

[0011] The top of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a telescopic plate, and sliding rods pass through both the upper and lower ends of the telescopic plate. Both sliding rods are fixedly connected to the fixed plate.

[0012] The front end of the telescopic plate is fixedly connected to a clamping air plate, and an air pump is installed on the side of the clamping air plate.

[0013] The front end of the clamping air plate is provided with a reinforcing ring, which is fixedly connected to the telescopic plate. Multiple ball bearings are movably connected to the inner wall of the reinforcing ring, and the reinforcing ring and the clamping air plate are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0014] The upper and lower ends of the fixed frame are fixedly connected to second limiting seats. The interior of each of the two second limiting seats is rotatably connected to a movable gear. A winding gear ring is meshed between the two movable gears. A limiting ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the winding gear ring. The limiting ring and the second limiting seats are movably connected.

[0015] The winding assembly includes a support plate, a movable plate, a winding frame, a pressure plate, a telescopic spring, rollers, and support rollers. The support plate is fixedly connected to the winding toothed ring. A movable plate is positioned above the support plate. The winding frame is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable plate. Pressure plates are slidably connected to both sides of the bottom end of the winding frame. A telescopic spring is positioned at the top of the pressure plate. The pressure plate is movably connected to the movable plate via the telescopic spring. Rollers are rotatably connected to the bottom end of the pressure plate. Support rollers are movably connected to both the front and rear ends of the pressure plate.

[0016] A T-shaped slider is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate, and the T-shaped slider and the movable plate winding frame form a sliding connection.

[0017] A laser sensor is installed below the movable plate, and the laser sensor is on the same vertical line as the pressure plate.

[0018] One end of the support plate is movably connected to the movable plate, and the other end of the support plate is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped slide rail. Both ends of the movable plate are fixedly connected to movable shafts, and the movable shafts and the arc-shaped slide rails are slidably connected. A fixing screw is threaded to one side of the movable shaft, and the inner wall of the fixing screw is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the arc-shaped slide rail.

[0019] This invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. When the winding toothed ring rotates, it drives the entire winding assembly to rotate, which in turn causes the wrapping frame to rotate around the float. The rollers press against the outer wall of the float and rotate with the outer wall of the float. As a result, the strapping is wound around the surface of the float according to the shape of the float. The support rollers can spread the strapping, so that the strapping is evenly wound on the surface of the float, avoiding wrinkles in the strapping. The automated winding method reduces the cost of subsequent float processing and improves the efficiency of float maintenance.

[0021] 2. When the winding assembly winds to the smooth end of the float, the pressure plate will slip down instantly. After the laser sensor detects that the pressure plate has deviated from the specified range, it can control the motor in the adjustment assembly to drive the transmission gear to rotate and adjust the angle of the float. This makes it easier for the winding assembly to wind to the smooth end of the float, thus enabling automated winding of the float and ensuring that the strapping is evenly wound on the surface of the float, ensuring that the strapping is tightly fitted without air bubbles or gaps.

[0022] 3. Workers can slide the movable axis in the arc-shaped slide rail to adjust the angle of the movable plate. This allows for easy adjustment of the movable plate's angle, ensuring the support rod contacts the strap as closely as possible, enabling the strap to unfold and preventing it from folding over during the wrapping process.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0034] Example 1

[0035] The equipment for wrapping PTFE straps around a level gauge float includes: base 001;

[0036] Also includes:

[0037] Clamping seat 002 is located at the bottom end of base 001 and is used to fix and support the parts.

[0038] Adjustment component 003, which is located at the end of clamping base 002, is used to adjust the position of the level gauge float;

[0039] Fixing frame 004 is located at the top of base 001 and is used to fix some components;

[0040] Winding assembly 005 is disposed inside the fixed frame 004 and is used to wind the float of the level gauge.

[0041] The operator can fix one end of the float by the clamping air plate 330, and then pull open one end of the PTFE strapping in the wrapping frame 403 and stick it to the outer wall of the float. After the device is started, the motor and electric telescopic rod 305 at the rear end of the movable gear 420 start simultaneously. The motor drives the movable gear 420 to drive the winding gear ring 430, which in turn drives the PTFE strapping to wrap the float. At the same time, the float can extend and retract inside the fixed frame 004. After wrapping half of the float, including its smooth end, the operator can turn the float over and repeat the operation to wrap the other half of the float, including its smooth end, thus completing the wrapping of the float.

[0042] The adjustment assembly 003 includes a first limiting seat 301, a transmission gear 302, a semi-circular gear ring 303, a fixing plate 304, an electric telescopic rod 305, and a slide groove 306. The transmission gear 302 is movably connected inside the first limiting seat 301. The end of the transmission gear 302 is meshed with the semi-circular gear ring 303. The front end of the semi-circular gear ring 303 is provided with the fixing plate 304, and the rear end of the fixing plate 304 is provided with the electric telescopic rod 305. The outer wall of the semi-circular gear ring 303 is provided with a slide groove 306, and the semi-circular gear ring 303 is slidably connected to the first limiting seat 301 through the slide groove 306.

[0043] The top of the electric telescopic pole 305 is fixedly connected to a telescopic plate 310, and slide rods 320 pass through both the upper and lower ends of the telescopic plate 310. Both slide rods 320 are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 304.

[0044] The electric telescopic rod 305 drives the telescopic plate 310 to slide back and forth in the slide bar 320, so that the float can move and wind along with the electric telescopic rod 305. A motor is installed on the side of the transmission gear 302, and the motor drives the transmission gear 302 to drive the semi-circular gear ring 303 to rotate. The semi-circular gear ring 303 then causes the float to tilt, adjusting the position of the float so that the end of the float is tilted. At the same time, the winding component 005 winds the arc-shaped end of the float, and the strap can be tightly wound on the float so that the float can work normally afterwards.

[0045] The front end of the telescopic plate 310 is fixedly connected to a clamping air plate 330, and an air pump 340 is installed on the side of the clamping air plate 330.

[0046] The front end of the clamping air plate 330 is provided with a reinforcing ring 350, which is fixedly connected to the telescopic plate 310. Multiple balls 360 are movably connected to the inner wall of the reinforcing ring 350, and the reinforcing ring 350 and the clamping air plate 330 are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0047] Among them, the air pump 340 can extract the gas from the clamping air plate 330, so that the clamping air plate 330 can tightly adhere to the float, thus clamping the float without damage. The reinforcing ring 350 can ensure that the float can move smoothly within a specific track. The ball bearing 360 can protect the outer wall of the float from damage caused by clamping, improve the safety of the float winding, and avoid scratches on the outer wall of the float.

[0048] The upper and lower ends of the fixed frame 004 are fixedly connected to the second limiting seat 410. The interior of the two second limiting seats 410 is rotatably connected to the movable gear 420. The two movable gears 420 are meshed with the winding gear ring 430. The outer wall of the winding gear ring 430 is fixedly connected to the limiting ring 440. The limiting ring 440 and the second limiting seat 410 are movably connected.

[0049] The winding assembly 005 is provided with a support plate 401, a movable plate 402, a winding frame 403, a pressure plate 404, a telescopic spring 405, a roller 406, and a support roller 407. The support plate 401 is fixedly connected to the winding gear ring 430. The movable plate 402 is provided above the support plate 401. The winding frame 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable plate 402. The pressure plate 404 is slidably connected to both sides of the bottom end of the winding frame 403. The top end of the pressure plate 404 is provided with a telescopic spring 405. The pressure plate 404 is movably connected to the movable plate 402 through the telescopic spring 405. The bottom end of the pressure plate 404 is rotatably connected to the roller 406. The front and rear ends of the pressure plate 404 are movably connected to the support roller 407.

[0050] A T-shaped slider 410 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 404, and the T-shaped slider 410 and the movable plate 402 are connected to the wrapping frame 403 in a sliding connection.

[0051] The inside of the wrapping frame 403 can hold a roll of PTFE strapping. When the winding toothed ring 430 rotates, it will drive the entire winding assembly 005 to rotate, and then the wrapping frame 403 will rotate around the float. The pressure plate 404 can be pressed against the outer wall of the float by the roller 406 and rotate with the outer wall of the float. The strapping is wrapped around the surface of the float according to the shape of the float. During the wrapping, the float will move at a constant speed with the electric telescopic rod 305, and the strapping will be evenly wrapped around the surface of the float. The support wheel 407 can open the strapping to prevent the strapping from wrinkling.

[0052] Meanwhile, the T-shaped slider 410 and the telescopic spring 405 can cooperate with each other to give the pressure plate 404 a certain range of motion, improve the flexibility of the winding assembly 005, and prevent the pressure plate 404 from damaging the surface of the float.

[0053] A laser sensor 420 is installed below the movable plate 402, and the laser sensor 420 is on the same vertical line as the pressure plate 404.

[0054] The laser sensor 420 can use laser difference to measure the distance of the pressure plate 404. When the winding assembly 005 winds to the smooth end of the float, the pressure plate 404 will slide down instantly. When the laser sensor 420 detects that the pressure plate 404 has left the specified range, it can control the motor in the adjustment assembly 003 to drive the transmission gear 302 to rotate and adjust the angle of the float. This makes it easier for the winding assembly 005 to wind the smooth end of the float, thereby automatically winding the float and ensuring that the strap can be evenly wound on the surface of the float, ensuring that the strap is tightly attached without air bubbles or gaps.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] In this second embodiment, the other structures remain unchanged. The difference from the first embodiment is that one end of the support plate 401 is movably connected to the movable plate 402, and the other end of the support plate 401 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped slide rail 430. Both ends of the movable plate 402 are fixedly connected to the movable shaft 440, which is slidably connected to the arc-shaped slide rail 430. A fixing screw 450 is threadedly connected to one side of the movable shaft 440, and the inner wall of the fixing screw 450 is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the arc-shaped slide rail 430.

[0057] The operator can slide the movable shaft 440 in the arc-shaped slide rail 430 to adjust the angle of the movable plate 402, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the angle of the movable plate 402. This allows the support rod to contact the strap as much as possible, enabling the strap to unfold and preventing the strap from folding during the wrapping process.
