Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of barrel loading equipment, and in particular relates to a horizontal automatic barrel loading device. Background Art

[0002] When loading the projectile, the cylinder needs to be pushed and loaded in parallel. In the previous loading methods, manual loading or hoisting loading is usually adopted for loading. Due to the large structure and weight of the cylinder, it is difficult to ensure the level of the cylinder when loading in the above manner, which will affect the loading effect of the cylinder. At the same time, when loading the cylinder, the converter and the tail unfolding mechanism outside the cylinder need to be pressed and folded, which is also done by manual operation. It requires a lot of physical strength from the loaders. After working for a long time, the loaders' physical strength will decrease, which greatly prolongs the loading time of the projectile. In addition, there are many uncertain factors when loading manually, such as low loading accuracy and difficulty in ensuring that the projectile is loaded in place. Therefore, the automatic loading technology of the cylinder is a new technology that can adapt to the unmanned intelligent manufacturing in the future. Different from the traditional loading method, the cylinder automatic device technology can realize the rapid and fully automatic loading of the cylinder. Therefore, the present invention studies the automatic loading device of the cylinder. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a horizontal automatic loading device for cylinders, which combines the control technology of the cylinder pushing mechanism and the cylinder supporting mechanism, the automatic resetting technology and the flexible adaptive positioning technology to realize the rapid and fully automatic loading of the cylinders.

[0004] A horizontal automatic loading device for a cylinder includes a cylinder pushing device, a converter pressing device and a cylinder support. The cylinder pushing device and the cylinder support are used to carry and push the cylinder to move, and the converter pressing device is used to press the converter on the cylinder and fold the tail unfolding mechanism.

[0005] The push-barrel device is composed of a main frame and a push-barrel tailstock. A first guide rail is provided at the bottom of the main frame. A sprocket transmission mechanism providing moving power is provided on both sides of the main frame. The sprocket transmission mechanism is composed of multiple sprockets and a chain. The chain can be driven to rotate by the rotation of the sprocket. A sprocket drive mechanism is provided at one end of the main frame. The sprocket drive mechanism is connected to the sprocket power at the end. The sprocket is driven to rotate by the sprocket drive mechanism, thereby providing power for the movement of the barrel. The push-bar tailstock is slidably connected to the first guide rail, and a chain buckle is provided on each side of the push-bar tailstock. The chain buckle is connected to the chain. When the chain rotates, the push-bar tailstock can be driven to move on the first guide rail through the chain buckle. At the same time, a connector is provided on the push-bar tailstock, and the tail of the barrel can be connected to the push-bar tailstock through the connector.

[0006] The cylinder support is slidably mounted on the first guide rail, and a support frame capable of fixing the cylinder is provided at the upper end of the cylinder support. By fixing the cylinder on the cylinder support, the rear cylinder support moves on the first guide rail to drive the cylinder to move.

[0007] There are two converter clamping devices, and the converter is movably installed on both sides of the main frame, and the converter and the tail deployment mechanism on the cylinder are compressed and folded from both sides of the main frame. The converter clamping device includes a mobile base, a control device, a clamping mechanism, a folding mechanism and a pre-pressing mechanism. The control device is connected to control the clamping mechanism, folding mechanism and pre-pressing mechanism, and the operation of the clamping mechanism, folding mechanism and pre-pressing mechanism is controlled by the control mechanism. The clamping mechanism and the folding mechanism are installed on the same side above the mobile base to be able to operate the cylinder. The control device is installed on the other side above the mobile base, and the pre-pressing mechanism is set on the control system.

[0008] In order to realize the compression of the converter on the cylinder, the compression mechanism is composed of a first base, a clamp, a first cylinder and a linkage rod. There are two clamps and two linkage rods. The two clamps are symmetrically hinged on the first base, the first cylinder is fixed on the first base, one end of the two linkage rods is hinged on the end of the first cylinder, and the other end is hinged on the middle of the two clamps. When the first cylinder is extended or retracted, the clamps can be driven to open and close through the linkage rod, thereby realizing the compression function. The compression mechanism is installed on the mobile base through the first base.

[0009] In order to realize the folding of the tail unfolding mechanism on the cylinder, the folding mechanism is composed of a folding wheel, a second base and a second cylinder. The folding wheel is installed at the end of the second cylinder. There are two second cylinders. The two second cylinders are installed in parallel on the second base. The folding function is realized by the extension and retraction of the two second cylinders to drive the folding wheels to move. The folding mechanism is installed on the mobile base through the second base.

[0010] In order to realize the automatic pushing cylinder function, the sprocket drive mechanism is composed of a drive motor and a reducer. The drive motor is connected to one end of the reducer, and the other end of the reducer is connected to the sprocket, so that the drive motor can drive the sprocket to rotate through the reducer.

[0011] In order to adapt to the push cylinder work in different situations: the connector is connected to the push cylinder tailstock through a screw lifter, so that the connector can move up and down to adjust the position of the connection with the cylinder.

[0012] At the same time, the barrel support is composed of a bottom plate and a top plate, which are slidably connected to the first guide rail through the bottom plate, and a slide rail is arranged between the top plate and the bottom plate, and the top plate is connected to the bottom plate through the slide rail, and the slide rail is perpendicular to the first guide rail, and the barrel support frame is connected to the top plate through the lifting cylinder. Through the slide rail and the first guide rail, the spatial position of the barrel support frame can be adjusted to adapt to different working conditions of the barrel pusher.

[0013] A second guide rail is provided on the mobile base, and two third guide rails are slidably connected to the second guide rail, and the third guide rail is kept perpendicular to the second guide rail, and the first base and the second base are respectively slidably connected to the two third guide rails, so that the positions of the first base and the second base on the horizontal plane can be adjusted. In order to realize the automatic adjustment of the first base and the second base, a third cylinder is respectively connected to both ends of the second guide rail, and a fourth cylinder is vertically connected to each end of the two third cylinders, and the ends of the two fourth cylinders are respectively connected to the first base and the second base, and the positions of the first base and the second base can be adjusted by controlling the third cylinder and the fourth cylinder.

[0014] In order to realize the pre-stressing function of the converter, the pre-stressing mechanism is composed of the fifth cylinder, a fixed plate, a limiter and a fixed base. The fixed base is fixed to the upper end of the control system. There are two limiters located on both sides of the fixed base. The position of the converter is fixed by the fixed base and the limiter. The fixed plate is vertically set on the side of the fixed base, and the fifth cylinder is fixed on the fixed plate so that the fifth cylinder is located above the fixed base. After the fifth cylinder is started, the converter can be pre-stressed.

[0015] In order to avoid the situation where the push cylinder tail stock cannot be adjusted when the drive motor fails to work, a manual handle is connected to the sprocket drive mechanism, and the manual handle is connected to the reducer, so that the manual handle and the drive motor are located at the same end of the reducer. When the drive motor fails to work, the manual handle can be rotated to rotate the sprocket, thereby adjusting the position of the push cylinder tail stock.

[0016] In order to be able to move the position and horizontal height of the main frame and the converter clamping device, moving wheels and lifting feet are installed at the bottom of the main frame and the mobile base. The main frame can be moved by the moving wheels. When the position needs to be fixed, the main frame and the converter clamping device can be lifted by adjusting the height of the lifting feet, so that the moving wheels leave the ground, thereby fixing the position of the main frame and the converter clamping device.

[0017] In order to further improve the efficiency of the position movement of the push cylinder tailstock when the driving motor fails to work, a cross column is provided on the push cylinder tailstock, and a steel cable can be connected to the cross column to pull the push cylinder tailstock to move.

[0026] The bottom of the mobile base 21 of the converter clamping device 2 is equipped with four moving wheels and four lifting legs. A second guide rail 211 is arranged at one end of the mobile base 21, and two third guide rails 212 are installed on the second guide rail 211 so that the third guide rails 212 can slide along the second guide rail 211.

Then, one end of the two linkage rods 234 is hinged on the top of the first cylinder 233, and the other end of the linkage rod 234 is respectively hinged to the middle part of the two clamps 232. The first base 231 is slidably installed on a third guide rail 212, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 The folding mechanism 24 is composed of a folding wheel 241, a second base 242 and a second cylinder 243.

Figure 6 shown.

[0027] When loading the cylinder horizontally, move the cylinder pusher 1 to the working position through the moving wheels at the bottom of the main frame 11, then lower the lifting legs to fix the position of the cylinder pusher 1, and complete the fixation of the entire device. Install two cylinder supports 3 on the main frame 11, space the two cylinder supports 3 by a certain distance, fix the cylinder on the cylinder support frame 31, adjust the position of the cylinder support frame 31 through the lifting cylinder 35 and the slide rail 34, so that the cylinder is coaxial with the installation position, and then control the sprocket to rotate through the driving motor 114, so that the chain drives the cylinder pusher tail seat 12 to move to the tail end of the cylinder, and use the screw lifter to control the connector 122 to move to the fixed position, and connect the connector 122 to the cylinder.

[0028] Move the two symmetrical converter clamping devices 2 to both sides of the main frame 11 respectively, so that the converter clamping devices 2 are located at the specified position, fix the converter clamping device 2 by the lifting legs, and adjust the height of the lifting legs so that the clamping mechanism 23 and the folding mechanism 24 are consistent with the cylinder in the z direction.

After the pre-pressing is completed, remove the converter and install it on the cylinder. All converters are installed in the above manner. Then, the control device 22 controls the movement of the clamping mechanism 23, and the third guide rail 212 and the second guide rail 211 are used to control the movement of the clamping mechanism 23 in the x and y directions, so that the clamp 232 virtually holds the converter on the cylinder, and then starts the first cylinder 233 to control the clamp 232 to hold the converter. Then, in the same way, the folding mechanism 24 is moved to the corresponding position of the tail unfolding mechanism on the cylinder, and then the second cylinder 243 is started to move the folding wheel 241 toward the tail unfolding mechanism, and the tail unfolding mechanism is folded when the folding wheel 241 contacts the tail unfolding mechanism. The folding and fixing work of the cylinder is completed in the above manner.

[0029] Then remove the support frame 31 from the cylinder body, separate the cylinder body support 3 from the cylinder body, and avoid the cylinder body support 3 affecting the loading work. Then start the drive motor 114, let the push cylinder tail seat 12 move in the loading direction, push the cylinder body to load, and during the loading process, the clamping mechanism 23 and the folding mechanism 24 move synchronously until the cylinder body is loaded. During the installation process, if there is a power outage, damage to the drive motor 114, etc., the manual handle 116 can be manually turned to control the movement of the push cylinder tail seat 12, and a steel cable can be connected to the cross column 124 on the push cylinder tail seat 12 to pull the push cylinder tail seat 12 through the steel wire.

[0030] The device uses an isolation transformer for power supply protection to prevent leakage from the cabinet and components to the equipment. The safety circuit uses the method of disconnecting the main power supply and controlling the power supply for double protection. Combined with the design of the isolation transformer and the safety circuit, the system control of the entire device can be used safely and reliably. Fig.10 shown.
