Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of large current converging devices, and in particular relates to a rotary converging device with a terminal block. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the function of the rotating current converging device is to collect the currents released by multiple groups of pulse power supplies and apply them to the load.

[0003] Typically, a rotating manifold is located below the turntable, supplying power to the electrical devices on the turntable. However, other equipment is located above the rotor of the rotating manifold, and the rotor output cables cannot be routed vertically upward to connect to the devices requiring power. Therefore, a rotating manifold with an external output terminal block on the rotor is required, making it easier to connect to external loads.

[0004] The rotor of a rotary converging device typically rotates without its own power and relies on the rotation of the turntable to drive it. The turntable's rotation is a two-step process. The first involves the turntable driving the rotor at high speed for rough positioning. The second involves locking the rotor with the stationary stator and applying power, preventing it from rotating. The turntable then switches to a low-speed rotation to precisely position the device above the turntable. Therefore, a clutch is necessary between the turntable and the rotor. Chinese patent application "A Pneumatic Clutch for a Rotating Converging Device" (Application No. 202211253112.9) discloses a pneumatic clutch for a rotary converging device. The clutch comprises a clutch flange, a right clutch bracket, a left clutch bracket, a right guide rail slider, a left guide rail slider, a right guide rail, a left guide rail, a right rack, a left rack, a left large-diameter cylinder, a right large-diameter cylinder, a right small-diameter cylinder, a left small-diameter cylinder, and a gear. This pneumatic clutch is complex and consists of numerous components. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a rotary merging device with a terminal block, which realizes the design intention of the above rotary merging device, overcomes the shortcomings of the clutch of the existing rotary merging device, and has a simple clutch mechanism structure.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is:

[0007] A rotary flow converging device with a terminal block comprises a turntable, a first cylinder, a second cylinder, a terminal block, a slide, a guide rail, a rotor output cable, a drive plate, a curved plate, a rotor, and a stator. The stator and rotor are concentrically arranged, with the stator stationary and the rotor rotating within the stator. The turntable can rotate about the coaxial axis of the stator and rotor. The rotor output cable on the rotor is connected to the terminal block, which is fixed to the slide. Multiple terminal blocks can power multiple devices on the turntable. The slide sits on an arc-shaped guide rail, which is mounted on the turntable. The guide rail is arc-shaped, and the slide can slide on the guide rail, following a circular arc. The slide is connected to the curved plate fixed to the rotor via the drive plate. The first cylinder body is hinged to the turntable; the first cylinder piston rod is fixed to the second cylinder piston rod; and the second cylinder body is hinged to the slide. The first and second cylinders have identical structures and dimensions. The first cylinder, second cylinder, slide, and guide rail form the clutch mechanism of the rotary flow converging device.

[0008] When the stator and rotor are not connected and powered on, compressed air is passed through the rodless chamber of the first cylinder and the rod chamber of the second cylinder. The turntable can drive the slide through the first and second cylinders, and the slide passes through the drive plate and the arc plate to drive the rotor to rotate at high speed in any direction.

[0009] When the turntable drives the rotor through a certain angle and reaches a certain area, the rotor and stator need to be connected and energized, locking the rotor and preventing the turntable from driving it in any direction. At this point, the rodless and rod cavities of the first and second cylinders are both vented to the atmosphere. As the turntable rotates, the guide rails and the slide generate relative motion, allowing the turntable to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise relative to the rotor at a certain angle, allowing the devices on the turntable to further achieve low-speed and precise positioning.

[0010] When the stator and rotor are powered on, the rotor is unlocked, and compressed air is passed through the rodless chamber of the first cylinder and the rod chamber of the second cylinder. The first cylinder and the second cylinder drive the slide to slide on the guide rail, and the slide drives the rotor to rotate and reset through the drive plate and the arc plate.

[0011] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The rotating confluence device with a terminal block located on the turntable facilitates the connection of the rotating confluence device with the external load; the clutch mechanism has a simple structure and can disengage the turntable and the rotor, so that the turntable can rotate at a low speed within a certain angle range, facilitating the precise positioning of the device on the turntable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0025] The present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a rotary confluence device with a terminal block is composed of a turntable 1, a first cylinder 2, a terminal block 3, a second cylinder 4, a slide 5, a guide rail 6, a rotor output cable 7, a drive plate 8, an arc plate 9, a rotor 10 and a stator 11.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the stator 11 and the rotor 10 are arranged concentrically. The stator 11 is fixed and the rotor 10 can rotate inside the stator 11. The rotor output cable 7 on the rotor 10 is connected to the terminal block 3. The rotor output cable 7 is a non-flexible cable. The two rows of terminal blocks 3 are staggered on the slide 5; as shown in FIG. Figure 10 As shown, the terminal block 3 is composed of a front insulation 3-3, a cathode plate 3-1, an intermediate insulation 3-4, an anode plate 3-2 and a rear insulation 3-5; the terminal block 3 is provided with a cable input hole 3-6, a first cable output hole 3-7 and a second cable output hole 3-8; the rotor output cable 7 is inserted into the cable input hole 3-6; multiple terminal blocks 3 are fixed on the slide 5 through the front insulation 3-3 and the rear insulation 3-5.

[0028] The first cable output holes 3 - 7 and the second cable output holes 3 - 8 of the plurality of terminal blocks 3 can supply power to the plurality of devices on the turntable 1 .

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the slide 5 is located on the guide rail 6. Figure 4 As shown, the guide rail 6 is arc-shaped and has two convex edges 6-1. Figure 3 As shown, the lower part of the slide 5 is processed with two arc grooves 5-1. Figure 5 As shown, the two convex edges 6 - 1 of the guide rail 6 are located at the lower part of the slide 5 and are processed into two arc-shaped grooves 5 - 1. The slide 5 can slide on the guide rail 6 and the motion trajectory is an arc.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the guide rail 6 is installed on the turntable 1. Figure 2 As shown, the slide 5 is connected to the arc-shaped plate 9 fixedly connected to the rotor 10 through two driving plates 8.

[0031] like Figure 7As shown, the first cylinder body 2-1 is hingedly connected to the first cylinder connecting member 12, which is fixedly connected to the turntable 1; the first cylinder piston rod 2-2 is fixedly connected to the second cylinder piston rod 4-2; the second cylinder body 4-1 is hingedly connected to the second cylinder connecting member 13, which is fixedly connected to the slide 5. The first cylinder 2 and the second cylinder 4 have the same structure and size.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the turntable 1 can rotate coaxially around the stator 11 and the rotor 10. The first cylinder 2, the second cylinder 4, the slide 5, and the guide rail 6 constitute a clutch mechanism of the rotary merging device.

[0033] When the stator 11 and the rotor 10 are not connected and powered on, compressed air is passed through the rodless chamber of the first cylinder 2 and the rod chamber of the second cylinder 4. The turntable 1 can drive the slide 5 through the first cylinder 2 and the second cylinder 4. The slide 5 drives the rotor 10, the rotor output cable 7 and the terminal block 3 to rotate at high speed in any direction through two drive plates 8 and two curved plates 9. At this time, there is no relative movement between the slide 5 and the guide rail 6.

[0034] When the turntable 1 drives the rotor 10 to rotate a certain angle and reaches a certain area, the rotor 10 and the stator 11 need to be connected and energized, and the rotor 10 is locked; when the rodless chamber of the first cylinder 2 and the rod chamber of the second cylinder 4 are connected to compressed air, the turntable 1 cannot drive the rotor 10 to rotate in any direction. At this time, the rodless chamber and the rod chamber of the first cylinder 2 and the second cylinder 4 are both connected to the atmosphere. When the turntable 1 rotates, it drives the guide rail 6 to rotate; the two arc-shaped plates 9, two drive plates 8, slide 5, rotor output cable 7 and terminal block 3 connected to the rotor are stationary, and the guide rail 6 and slide 5 produce relative motion. The turntable 1 can rotate relative to the rotor 10 in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions by a certain angle α, such as Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, the device on the turntable 1 can achieve low-speed and precise positioning.

[0035] When the stator 11 and the rotor 10 are powered on, the rotor 10 is unlocked and restored to a rotatable state. Compressed air is passed through the rodless chamber of the first cylinder 2 and the rod chamber of the second cylinder 4. The first cylinder 2 and the second cylinder 4 drive the slide 5 to slide on the guide rail 6. The slide 5 drives the rotor 10, the rotor output cable 7 and the terminal block 3 to rotate and reset through the two drive plates 8 and the two curved plates 9. Figure 6 In this way, the turntable 1 can drive the rotor 10 to rotate at high speed in any direction through the first cylinder 2 and the second cylinder 4.

[0036] The turntable 1 is square in shape, and the stator 11 and the rotor 10 are arranged in slots at one end of the turntable 1 , while a guide rail 6 is installed at the other end of the turntable 1 .
