Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a rotating device and a rotating method, in particular to a rotating device and a rotating method for keeping the rotating center of a square-circular tank body unchanged. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of tank and chemical transportation industry, the volume of the container in the specified limited space is paid more and more attention, and the square-circular tank body is applied more and more widely in the liquid medium transportation. However, there is a big difference between the rotation of the square-circular tank body and the rotation of the circular tank body in the manufacturing process. The circular tank body can keep the rotating center stable when rotating on the ordinary roller frame, and the work point can be kept relatively stable during the welding, detection, assembly and other processes in the manufacturing process, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of welding, detection and assembly. Since the outer periphery of the square-circular tank body is square-circular, the rotating center of the tank body changes at any time when the tank body rotates on the ordinary roller frame, and thus the position of the work point on the tank body changes greatly. However, the welding, detection and assembly of the tank body require that the relative position of a point on the surface of the tank body be as unchanged as possible or have relatively small fluctuations.

[0003] To meet the above requirements, the current operation for the square-circular tank body generally directly fixes two rings on the end or the outer periphery of the tank body, so that the center of the ring coincides with the rotating center of the square-circular tank body, and then the tank body with the installed or welded rings is placed on the ordinary roller frame for rotating operation. Alternatively, the end of the square-circular tank body is clamped by a positioner, and the tank body is rotated along a rotating center by rotating the positioner. The first operation requires the preparation of a ring tool and the installation or spot welding of the ring on the tank body, and the installation or welding of the ring is relatively complicated, which affects the operation efficiency. In addition, the installation accuracy of the ring affects the rotating effect of the tank body, and thus affects the quality and efficiency of the assembly and welding detection operation. The second operation requires the clamping mechanism of the rotating positioner, which is relatively complex and has 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 to the rotating positioner is complex and takes a long time, which affects the operation efficiency. Moreover, the clamping position of the tank body by the clamping jaw of the rotating positioner has a certain accuracy requirement, which easily causes the actual rotating axis to deviate from the geometric center of the tank body, thereby affecting the subsequent welding, assembly, detection and other operations.

[0004] In summary, the existing square-circular tank body rotates on the roller frame, and the operation is relatively complicated, which seriously depends on the installation accuracy of the external tool and the tank body, and greatly affects the production efficiency and quality. SUMMARY

[0047] As shown in the figure, Figure 4As shown, the advancing mechanism 3 includes an advancing base 31 and an electric push rod 5 connected with the driving device; the advancing base 31 is arranged on the base 1; the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5 is connected with the U-shaped shell 61, the fixed end is arranged on the advancing base 31 after being connected with the driving device, and the included angle between the central axis of the electric push rod 5 and the horizontal plane is equal to the included angle between the diagonal line of the square cylindrical tank 9 in the normal state and the horizontal plane.

[0048] In the embodiment, the base 1 is the basis of the whole device; the guide base 21 is the mounting base 1 of the guide chute 7; the advancing 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 for providing corresponding thrust for the roller assembly 6 and accurately pushing the roller assembly 6 to a specified displacement, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5 is connected with the bottom of the U-shaped shell 61 of the roller assembly 6 through the threaded flange 10 to realize accurate pushing; the stroke of the electric push rod 5 is greater than the maximum diagonal line of the square cylindrical tank 9 minus the minimum width or height. The roller 63 can accurately control the rotating speed and move along the axis direction of the electric push rod 5; the guide chute 7 mainly guides the roller 63 and is used for keeping the roller 63 always in a stable state; the distance measuring device 8 is mainly used for measuring the horizontal distance from the outer surface of the two sides of the square cylindrical tank 9 to the reference surface of the distance measuring device 8.

[0049] The rotating device for keeping the rotating center of the square cylindrical tank unchanged mainly aims to keep the central axis position of the square cylindrical tank 9 always in an unchanged state when the square cylindrical tank 9 rotates, so that the square cylindrical tank 9 is in a minimum jumping state when working. 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 to make the roller 63 move according to the calculated compensation amount, so that the initial central axis of the square cylindrical tank 9 coincides with the rotating central axis.

[0050] In order to ensure that the initial state of the square-circular tank 9 rotation is the positive position state (i.e. the distance between the two sides of the square-circular tank 9 and the center axis is equal). At this time, the roller 63 is in the initial state, when the horizontal distance between the two sides of the square-circular tank 9 and the reference surface of the distance measuring device 8 is not equal, the distance measuring device 8 is used to detect the horizontal distance between the two sides of the square-circular tank 9 and the reference surface of the distance measuring device 8 in real time until the distance measuring device 8 measures that the horizontal distance between the two sides of the square-circular tank 9 and the reference surface of the distance measuring device 8 is equal, at this time, the square-circular tank 9 is in the positive position state. The application uses the propulsion mechanism 3 to push the roller assembly 6 to adjust the relative position of the center axis of the square-circular tank 9, ensures that the square-circular tank 9 rotates around a fixed rotation axis, and does not need to install an auxiliary rotating ring (a circular ring fixed in the tank for assisting the square-circular tank 9 to rotate), and does not need to configure an end clamping welding positioner, and the square-circular tank 9 can be directly placed on the device to realize stable center rotation.

[0051] Meanwhile, the application also provides a rotation method for keeping the rotation center of the square-circular tank unchanged, and the rotation method based on the above-mentioned rotation device for keeping the rotation center of the square-circular tank unchanged comprises the following steps:

[0052] 1】After the two propulsion mechanisms 3 are in the preset initial state, the square-circular tank 9 is placed on the roller 63, the control unit controls the roller 63 to drive the square-circular tank 9 to rotate through the driving device and the rotation shaft 62, and the distance measuring device 8 is used to measure the horizontal distance L1 and L2 between the two sides of the square-circular tank 9 and the two reference surfaces respectively in real time;

[0053] 2】Judge whether L1 and L2 are equal and maximum:

[0054] If L1 and L2 are equal and maximum, the square-circular tank 9 is in the positive position state, the displacement difference Lp between the initial center axis of the square-circular tank 9 and the rotation center axis is 0, then the two sides of the square-circular tank 9 are marked (for the next operation), and step 3】 is executed; otherwise, return to step 1】;

[0055] 3】The control unit controls the electric push rod 5 to compensate the displacement difference Lp between the initial center axis of the square-circular tank 9 and the rotation center axis through the driving device according to the rotation condition of the square-circular tank 9, and the roller 63 is retracted or extended, so that the square-circular tank 9 keeps the rotation center unchanged and rotates.

[0056] As Figure 5As shown, when the square cylindrical tank 9 is hoisted to the device, the square cylindrical tank 9 is in a non-orthogonal state, the horizontal distance between the reference surface of the distance measuring device 8 and the outer surface of the two sides of the square cylindrical tank 9 is L1 and L2 respectively, and L1≠L2; At this time, the center axis of the square cylindrical tank 9 and the center axis after rotation will have a displacement difference Lp, at this time, only the roller 63 rotates (since the square cylindrical tank 9 and the roller 63 gradually slip during operation, at this time the electric push rod 5 is not moved, 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 indicates that the square cylindrical tank 9 has been in the rotation state, at this time it can be used as the zero point positioning for welding, flaw detection, assembly and other operations. Taking the welding operation as an example, when the welding machine recognizes that the square cylindrical tank 9 is in the orthogonal state, the welding machine starts to weld, the square cylindrical tank 9 starts to rotate, and the electric push rod 5 starts to move along its axis direction synchronously.

[0057] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 As shown, during the rotation in the orthogonal state, the extension distance of the electric push rod 5 is L3 and L4 respectively, which is used to compensate the displacement difference Lp of the rotation center axis, by continuously adjusting L3 and L4, the stability of the center axis of the square cylindrical tank 9 is realized, finally the rotation stability of the square cylindrical tank 9 is realized, until the operation is completed and restored to the orthogonal state, the square cylindrical tank 9 is translated out of the work station by the crown block or the bottom translation vehicle, and the operation is completed.
