Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rust inhibitor production technology, specifically to a rust inhibitor production apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] Metal parts are prone to rust during production, processing, and transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to use rust-preventive oil to form a thin film coating on the metal surface to prevent metal corrosion.
[0003] In the production and packaging process of rust inhibitors, they need to be filled into containers and then sealed with caps for storage. During the quantitative filling process, the container is not completely filled; some air remains in the upper part. This air, in prolonged contact with the rust inhibitor, inevitably undergoes an oxidation reaction, forming precipitates or acidic substances, thus accelerating the deterioration of the rust inhibitor and shortening its shelf life. If the air remaining in the container is expelled and replaced with an inert gas, the shelf life of the rust inhibitor can be extended. Therefore, a production apparatus for rust inhibitors is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a rust inhibitor production apparatus. An air-filling process is incorporated between the filling of the rust inhibitor and the screw-sealing of the can. Argon gas is used to expel the remaining air inside the can, thereby slowing down the oxidation and deterioration of the rust inhibitor and extending its storage time.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a rust inhibitor production device, comprising a chassis, a cabinet with an inlet and outlet fixed on the top of the chassis, a conveyor for transporting tanks mounted horizontally on the cabinet, an inflation mechanism for filling the tanks with inert gas to expel the air inside, a positioning mechanism for intercepting the tanks at a designated position, and an adjustment mechanism for rotating the tanks, and a camera detection head for detecting the position of the tank inlet is installed inside the cabinet. With the cooperation of the camera detection head and the adjustment mechanism, the inlet of the tank is positioned directly below the inflation mechanism.
[0006] Preferably, the inflation mechanism includes a diversion pipe fixed to the top wall of the cabinet, an air inlet pipe for conveying inert gas and several sets of hoses connected to the diversion pipe, an inflation head connected to the end of the hose away from the diversion pipe, a hydraulic rod installed on the top wall of the cabinet, and a support plate fixed to the inflation head installed on the movable end of the hydraulic rod.
[0007] Preferably, the inflation mechanism is provided with a limiting mechanism to restrict the depth of the corresponding inflation head entering the tank;
[0008] The limiting mechanism includes a support fixed on the bearing plate and a limiting plate slidably installed on the inflation head. A screw is threaded onto the support, and a connecting rod is rotatably installed between the screw and the limiting plate via a connecting seat.
[0009] Preferably, the inflation mechanism further includes an extension plate detachably mounted to the end of the limiting plate;
[0010] The limiting plate has an insertion hole at its end, and the extension plate has a plug block that mates with the insertion hole at its end. The limiting plate is also equipped with a screw that locks the plug block.
[0011] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a stand fixed to the top of the chassis, a horizontal bar rotatably mounted on the stand, and a main motor for driving the horizontal bar to rotate. The horizontal bar has a storage slot, and positioning rods are symmetrically rotatably mounted in the storage slot. An auxiliary motor for driving the corresponding positioning rod to rotate is also mounted on the horizontal bar.
[0012] Preferably, two sets of adjustment mechanisms are symmetrically distributed on both sides of each group of tanks;
[0013] The adjustment mechanism includes a telescopic rod fixed inside the cabinet, a movable plate fixed to the movable end of the telescopic rod, two sets of extrusion rollers rotatably mounted on the movable plate, and a geared motor for driving one set of extrusion rollers mounted on the movable plate. An electric push rod for controlling its extension and retraction is mounted on the telescopic rod.
[0014] Preferably, the telescopic rod includes a sleeve fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet, a slide rod fixed to the movable plate is installed inside the sleeve, and an electric push rod is installed between the sleeve and the slide rod.
[0015] Preferably, the inert gas is any one of argon, nitrogen, and helium.
[0016] This invention provides a rust inhibitor production apparatus, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0017] 1. An air filling process is set between the filling of the rust inhibitor and the sealing of the can. Argon gas is used to remove the remaining air in the can, which slows down the oxidation and deterioration of the rust inhibitor and extends the storage time. With the help of the positioning mechanism, adjustment mechanism and conveyor, the can can be automatically positioned, adjusted and transported, which improves the efficiency of air filling.
[0018] 2. The limiting mechanism effectively prevents the inflation head from excessively descending and inserting into the rust inhibitor, thus avoiding waste. In addition, the filling amount may be adjusted, causing changes in the liquid level. At this time, the staff can adjust the position of the limiting plate in a timely manner according to the needs, which can better meet the actual processing requirements.
[0019] 3. A detachable extension plate is installed on the limiting plate. When the material opening is too large, the extension plate can be inserted into the side of the limiting plate and locked with screws, which increases the size of the barrier and prevents it from extending into the tank. This plays a limiting role. The structure is relatively simple and convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0032] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] Currently, even after the rust inhibitor is filled, some air remains inside the tank, accelerating the oxidation and deterioration of the rust inhibitor. For example... Figures 1-9 As shown, a rust inhibitor production device includes a chassis 1, a cabinet 2 with an inlet and outlet fixed to the top of the chassis 1, and a conveyor 3 for transporting tanks horizontally mounted on the cabinet 2, passing through the inlet and outlet of the cabinet 2. The cabinet 2 is equipped with a filling mechanism 4 for filling the tanks with inert gas to expel the air inside. The inert gas is any one of argon, nitrogen, or helium; argon, which is denser than air, is chosen here to prevent air from flowing back into the tanks. The cabinet 2 is also equipped with a positioning mechanism 6 that intercepts the tanks at a designated position (multiple sets of positioning mechanisms 6) and an adjustment mechanism 7 that rotates the tanks (multiple sets of adjustment mechanisms 7). Furthermore, the cabinet 2 is equipped with a camera detection head 8 to detect the position of the tank inlet. With the cooperation of the camera detection head 8 and the adjustment mechanisms 7, the inlet of the tank is positioned directly below the filling mechanism 4. Figure 1 To determine the vertical and horizontal orientation using a reference point, a can containing a measured amount of rust inhibitor is placed on the left side of conveyor 3. First, the rightmost positioning mechanism 6 is controlled to block the conveyor 3. Driven by conveyor 3, the first can moves to the right until it is blocked and positioned by the rightmost positioning mechanism 6. Then, the corresponding adjustment mechanism 7 is controlled to drive the first can to rotate. When the camera detection head 8 detects that the material inlet of the first can is directly below the inflation mechanism 4, the adjustment mechanism 7 stops working. Similarly, the middle positioning mechanism 6 is blocked on conveyor 3, and the second can is adjusted to the designated position. Then, the leftmost positioning mechanism 6 is blocked on conveyor 3, and the third can is adjusted to the designated position. This process is repeated until the material inlets of several groups of cans are adjusted to be directly below the inflation mechanism 4. Subsequently, the filling mechanism 4 fills several groups of tanks with argon gas and expels air. After filling is completed, the filling mechanism 4, positioning mechanism 6, and adjusting mechanism 7 are controlled to return to their original positions, and the tanks are carried out by the conveyor 3. The sealing caps are then screwed on in subsequent processes. This process is highly automated and efficient. Moreover, the filling process between filling and capping removes any remaining air from the tanks, preventing oxidation and deterioration of the rust inhibitor and extending the storage time.
[0035] In this embodiment, the inflation mechanism 4 includes a distribution pipe 41 fixed to the top wall of the cabinet 2. The distribution pipe 41 is connected to an inlet pipe 42 for conveying inert gas and several sets of hoses 43. An argon cylinder is connected to the inlet pipe 42, and an electric valve is installed on it. An inflation head 44 is connected to the end of each hose 43 away from the distribution pipe 41. A hydraulic rod 46 is installed on the top wall of the cabinet 2, and a support plate 45 fixed to the inflation head 44 is installed at the movable end of the hydraulic rod 46. When the tank moves below the inflation head 44 and the tank inlet is adjusted to be directly below the inflation head 44, the hydraulic rod 46 is activated, causing the support plate 45 to move downwards, which in turn moves the inflation head 44 downwards until it penetrates deep into the tank. Then, argon gas is injected into the inlet pipe 42, flowing along the pipe assembly into the inflation head 44, and finally filling the tank, expelling the air from the tank and preventing oxidation and deterioration of the rust inhibitor, thus extending the storage time. By reversing the operation, the inflation head 44 can be moved upwards and detached from the tank.
[0036] The inflation head 44 may extend excessively into the rust inhibitor in the tank. If the inflation head 44 becomes contaminated with the rust inhibitor, it will drip into the surrounding environment, causing pollution and waste. To address this, a limiting mechanism 5 is provided on the inflation mechanism 4 to restrict the depth of the inflation head 44 entering the tank. The limiting mechanism 5 includes a support 54 fixed on the support plate 45 and a limiting plate 51 slidably mounted on the inflation head 44. A screw 53 is threaded onto the support 54, and a connecting rod 52 is rotatably mounted between the screw 53 and the limiting plate 51 via a connecting seat. After quantitative filling, the liquid level of the rust inhibitor in the tank is basically the same. The operator can rotate the screw 53 according to the liquid level, which, through the transmission of the connecting rod 52, moves the limiting plate 51 vertically to the appropriate position. When the inflation head 44 extends into the tank, the limiting plate 51 abuts against the inlet at its position close to the liquid surface, preventing the inflation head 44 from moving further downwards. This effectively avoids the problem of the inflation head 44 excessively extending into the rust inhibitor, thus preventing waste. Furthermore, the filling amount may sometimes be adjusted, causing changes in the liquid level in the tank. In such cases, the operator can adjust the position of the limiting plate 51 as needed to better meet actual processing requirements.
[0037] To move the tank to a designated position, the positioning mechanism 6 includes a frame 61 fixed to the top of the housing 1. A horizontal bar 62 is rotatably mounted on the frame 61, and a main motor 63 is mounted to drive the horizontal bar 62 to rotate. Controlling the main motor 63 can cause the horizontal bar 62 to deflect, making it horizontal or vertical. A storage slot 64 is provided on the horizontal bar 62, and positioning rods 65 are symmetrically rotatably mounted in the storage slot 64. An auxiliary motor 66 is mounted on the horizontal bar 62 to drive the corresponding positioning rods 65 to rotate. Controlling the auxiliary motor 66 can drive the two sets of positioning rods 65 to rotate, making them cross-shaped (when working) or straight (when not working). When it is necessary to intercept and locate the tank, control the horizontal bar 62 to deflect to a horizontal state, and then control the two sets of positioning rods 65 to rotate to a cross shape, so as to locate and intercept the moving tank; after the inflation is completed, when it is necessary to control the tank to continue moving, control the two sets of positioning rods to rotate back into the storage groove 64 to form a straight line, and then control the horizontal bar 62 to rotate to a vertical state to release the obstruction of the tank.
[0038] Because the material inlet of the tank is not in the center but is eccentrically positioned (for easier subsequent material pouring), the tank needs to be rotated to align the material inlet with the inflation head 44. Two sets of adjustment mechanisms 7 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of each tank. Each adjustment mechanism 7 includes a telescopic rod 71 fixed inside the cabinet 2. The telescopic rod 71 includes a sleeve fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet 2, and a sliding rod fixed to the moving plate 73 is installed inside the sleeve. An electric push rod 72 is installed between the sleeve and the sliding rod. The movable end of the telescopic rod 71 is fixed to the moving plate 73. Two sets of extrusion rollers 74 are rotatably mounted on the moving plate 73, and a reduction motor 75 for driving one set of extrusion rollers 74 is installed on the moving plate 73. An electric push rod 72 for controlling the telescopic rod 71's extension and retraction is installed on the telescopic rod 71. Once the tank is intercepted at the designated position, the electric push rods 72 on both sides are activated, causing the extrusion rollers 74 on both sides to move inward simultaneously and come into contact with the surface of the tank. Then, the reduction motor 75 is driven to rotate the extrusion rollers 74, which in turn causes the tank to rotate slowly. When the camera detection head 8 detects the position of the material inlet, the reduction motor 75 stops rotating. At this time, the material inlet is directly facing the air filling head 44, and the position of the material inlet can be automatically adjusted, which is quite practical.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] Different tanks have different inlet sizes. When the inlet size is large, the limiting plate 51 may not be large enough to extend into the tank, thus failing to perform its limiting function. Based on Example 1, refer to... Figure 5The inflation mechanism 4 also includes an extension plate 55 detachably mounted on the end of the limiting plate 51. The end of the limiting plate 51 has an insertion hole 57, and the end of the extension plate 55 is fixed with a plug 56 that mates with the insertion hole 57. A screw 58 is installed on the limiting plate 51 to lock the plug 56. When the feed opening is too large, the extension plate 55 can be inserted into the side of the limiting plate 51 and locked with screws, increasing the size of the barrier and preventing it from extending into the tank, thus achieving a limiting function. The structure is relatively simple and convenient to use.
