Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a rotating device and a rotating method, and in particular to a rotating device and a rotating method capable of keeping the rotating center of a square round tank unchanged. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of tank containers and chemical transportation industries, the volume of containers in a specified limited space has received more and more attention. Square and round tanks are increasingly used in the transportation of liquid media. However, there is a big difference between the rotation of square and round tanks in the manufacturing process. When a round tank rotates on an ordinary roller frame, the center of rotation can be kept stable. During the welding, flaw detection, assembly and other processes in the manufacturing process, the operating point can be kept relatively stable, which improves the quality and efficiency of welding, flaw detection, and assembly. Since the outer periphery of the square and round tank is square and round, when the tank rotates on an ordinary roller frame, the center of rotation changes all the time, so the position of the operating point on the tank will change greatly. However, the welding, flaw detection, and assembly of the tank require that the relative position of a point on the surface of the tank remain as unchanged as possible or the fluctuation is relatively small.
[0003] In order to meet the above requirements, at present, for operations on square and round tank bodies, two circular rings are generally fixed directly on the ends or outer periphery of the tank body, so that the center of the circular ring coincides with the rotation center of the square and round tank body, and the tank body with the circular ring installed or welded is placed on an ordinary roller frame for rotation. Alternatively, a positioner is directly used to clamp the ends of the square and round tank body, and the positioner is turned to drive the tank body to rotate along a rotation center. The first operation requires the production of circular ring tooling and the installation or spot welding of circular rings on the tank body, and the installation or welding of circular rings is relatively cumbersome, affecting the work efficiency; in addition, the installation accuracy of the circular ring will affect the rotation effect of the tank body, and thus affect the quality and efficiency of the assembly and welding flaw detection operations. The second operation requires a clamping mechanism for a rotary positioner, which is relatively complex and has a high manufacturing cost. Since the positioner occupies a large area, this method requires a certain equipment foundation. In addition, the process of installing the tank body on the rotary positioner is complicated and the installation time is long, which affects the operation efficiency. In addition, there are certain accuracy requirements for the clamping position of the rotary positioner claws and the tank body, which can easily cause the actual rotation axis to deviate from the geometric center of the tank body, affecting subsequent welding, assembly, flaw detection and other operations.
[0004] In summary, when the existing square and round tanks rotate on the roller frame, the operation is relatively cumbersome and heavily depends on the installation accuracy of the external tooling and the tank, which greatly affects the production efficiency and quality. Summary of the invention

[0045] The two distance measuring mechanisms 11 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two distance measuring mechanisms 11 are respectively provided with reference surfaces facing the square circular tank body 9; the two reference surfaces are symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the square circular tank body 9, and in the normal position, the centers of the two reference surfaces are located in the same horizontal plane as the central axis of the square circular tank body 9; the two distance measuring mechanisms 11 are used to be connected to the control device to monitor the horizontal distance between the outer surfaces of both sides of the square circular tank body 9 and the reference surfaces in real time.

[0047] like Figure 4As shown, the propulsion mechanism 3 includes a propulsion base 31 and an electric push rod 5 connected to the driving device; the propulsion base 31 is arranged on the base 1; the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5 is connected to the U-shaped housing 61, and the fixed end is connected to the driving device and arranged on the propulsion base 31, and the angle between the central axis of the electric push rod 5 and the horizontal plane is equal to the angle between the diagonal line of the lower circular tank body 9 and the horizontal plane in the normal state. The distance measuring mechanism 11 includes a distance measuring device 8, and a mounting plate 4 connected to both sides of the base 1 and corresponding to both sides of the square circular tank body 9 along the length direction; the distance measuring device 8 is arranged on the mounting plate 4, and corresponds to each other.
[0048] In this embodiment, the base 1 serves as the foundation of the entire device; the guide base 21 is the installation base 1 of the guide chute 7; the propulsion base 31 is the support seat of the electric push rod 5; the mounting plate 4 is the mounting seat of the distance measuring device 8; the electric push rod 5 is used to provide corresponding thrust for the roller assembly 6 and accurately push the roller assembly 6 to a specified displacement, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5 is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped shell 61 of the roller assembly 6 through a threaded flange 10 to achieve accurate pushing; the stroke of the electric push rod 5 is greater than the maximum diagonal of the square round tank body 9 minus the minimum width or height. The roller 63 can accurately control the speed and move along the axis direction of the electric push rod 5; the guide chute 7 is mainly used to guide the roller 63 to keep the movement of the roller 63 always in a stable state; the distance measuring device 8 is mainly used to measure the horizontal distance from the outer surface of both sides of the square round tank body 9 to the reference surface of the distance measuring device 8. The driving device includes two servo motors and two reducers connected to the control unit; the output shaft of one servo motor is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 62 through the reducer, and the output shaft of the other servo motor is connected to the fixed end of the electric push rod 5 through the reducer; in other embodiments, the driving device includes two servo hydraulic systems connected to the control unit, one servo hydraulic system is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 62, and the other servo hydraulic system is connected to the fixed end of the electric push rod 5.
[0049] The present invention provides a rotating device for keeping the rotation center of a square round tank unchanged, and its main purpose is to keep the central axis position of the square round tank 9 always unchanged during rotation, so that the square round tank 9 is in a state of minimum vibration during operation. When the roller 63 is started to rotate, the electric push rod 5 synchronously pushes the roller 63 along the axis direction of the electric push rod 5 so that the roller 63 moves according to the calculated compensation amount, so that the initial central axis of the square round tank 9 coincides with the rotation central axis.
[0050] In order to ensure that the initial state of the rotation of the square round tank body 9 is in the positive position state (that is, the distances between the outer surfaces of the two sides of the square round tank body 9 and its central axis are equal). At this time, the roller 63 is in the initial state. When the horizontal distances between the outer surfaces of the two sides of the square round tank body 9 and the reference plane of the distance measuring device 8 are not equal, the distance measuring device 8 is used to detect the horizontal distances between the outer surfaces of the two sides of the square round tank body 9 and the reference plane of the distance measuring device 8 in real time, until the distance measuring device 8 measures that the horizontal distances between the outer surfaces of the two sides of the square round tank body 9 and the reference plane of the distance measuring device 8 are equal, and the square round tank body 9 is in the positive position state. The present invention uses the propulsion mechanism 3 to push the roller assembly 6 to adjust the relative position of the central axis of the square round tank body 9, ensuring that the square round tank body 9 rotates with a fixed rotating shaft when rotating, and does not need to install an auxiliary rotating ring (a circular ring fixed on the tank to assist the square round tank body 9 to rotate), does not need to be configured with an end clamping welding positioner, and directly placing the square round tank body 9 on the device can achieve stable central rotation.
[0051] At the same time, the present invention also provides a rotation method for keeping the rotation center of the square round tank unchanged. The rotation device for keeping the rotation center of the square round tank unchanged comprises the following steps:
[0052] 1] After the two propulsion mechanisms 3 are in a preset initial state, the square round tank body 9 is placed on the roller 63, and the control unit controls the roller 63 to drive the square round tank body 9 to rotate through the driving device and the rotating shaft 62, and at the same time uses the distance measuring device 8 to measure the horizontal distances L1 and L2 between the outer surfaces of both sides of the square round tank body 9 and the two reference surfaces in real time;
[0053] 2] Determine whether L1 and L2 are equal and maximum:
[0054] If they are equal and the largest, the square round tank body 9 is in the positive position, and the displacement difference Lp between its initial central axis and the rotation central axis is 0. Then, after marking the outer surfaces of both sides of the square round tank body 9 (for easy placement during the next operation), execute step 3]; otherwise, return to step 1];
[0055] 3] The control unit controls the electric push rod 5 and the roller 63 to compensate for the displacement difference Lp between the initial center axis and the rotation center axis of the square round tank body 9 through the driving device according to the rotation of the square round tank body 9, so as to complete the rotation of the square round tank body 9 while keeping the rotation center unchanged.
[0056] like Figure 5As shown, when the square round tank body 9 is hoisted onto the device of the present invention, the square round tank body 9 is in a non-positive position state, and the horizontal distances between the reference plane of the distance measuring device 8 and the outer surfaces of the two sides of the square round tank body 9 are L1 and L2 respectively, and L1≠L2; at this time, the central axis of the square round tank body 9 and the central axis after rotation will have a displacement difference Lp. In this state, only the roller 63 rotates (because the square round tank body 9 and the roller 63 gradually slip during operation, so the electric push rod 5 does not move at this time, and only the roller 63 rotates). At the same time, the distance measuring device 8 is used to compare the difference between L1 and L2 in real time. When the difference between L1 and L2 is 0 and the maximum, it means that the square round tank body 9 is in a positive position state, and it can be used as a zero point positioning for welding, flaw detection, assembly and other operations. Taking welding operation as an example, when the welding machine recognizes that the square round tank body 9 is in a positive position, the welding machine is started to start welding, the square round tank body 9 starts to rotate, and the electric push rod 5 is started synchronously to move along its axis direction.
[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the telescopic distances of the electric push rod 5 during the rotation in the upright state are L3 and L4 respectively, which are used to compensate for the displacement difference Lp of the rotation center axis. By continuously adjusting L3 and L4, the stability of the center axis of the square round tank body 9 is achieved, and finally the rotation stability of the square round tank body 9 is achieved, until the operation is completed and restored to the upright state, and the square round tank body 9 is translated out of the work station by using an overhead crane or a bottom translation vehicle to complete the operation.
