When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] Referring to Figure x, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a mobile fire extinguisher maintenance device, which includes a moving device for moving the entire device, the moving device includes a rail car 200; a maintenance device 100, the moving device is arranged below the maintenance device 100, and the maintenance device 100 is controlled by a controller.
[0035] Specifically, the maintenance device 100 includes an appearance inspection module 101, a disassembly module 102, a cylinder inspection module 103, a filling module 104, an airtight inspection module 105 and a transportation component; the inspection module is used to inspect the fire extinguisher; the disassembly module 102 is used to disassemble the fire extinguisher; the cylinder inspection module 103 is used to detect the cylinder pressure of the fire extinguisher; the filling module 104 is used to fill the fire extinguishing agent and the power gas into the fire extinguisher; the airtight inspection module 105 is used to perform airtightness and air pressure inspection on the fire extinguisher; and the transportation component is used to transport the fire extinguisher.
[0036] Furthermore, the transport assembly includes a clamping mechanism for clamping the fire extinguisher, a transverse slide rail, a longitudinal slide rail 107, and a rotating disk 108; the transverse slide rail and the longitudinal slide rail 107 are used to move the fire extinguisher, and the transverse slide rail and the longitudinal slide rail 107 both include an inspection path 107a, a maintenance path 107b and a waste path 107c, and a transfer position is provided at the intersection of the exit of the waste path 107c and the exit of the maintenance path 107b, and a mechanical arm is provided at the transfer position; the rotating disk 108 is used to turn the rail car 200.
[0037] The mobile device allows the entire maintenance device to be moved between different locations. It includes a rail car 200, which is a vehicle that can move on transverse and longitudinal rails 107 and is used to transport fire extinguishers to different modules of the maintenance device 100.
[0038] The inspection device 100 is installed above the mobile device and is controlled by a controller. The inspection device 100 consists of the following modules: The appearance inspection module 101 is equipped with a visual inspection camera and an infrared 3D scanning camera for inspecting the appearance of the fire extinguisher. Through these cameras, the system can scan and take pictures of the surface of the fire extinguisher, which is then analyzed by the control system to determine whether the fire extinguisher has obvious appearance defects.
[0039] Once the fire extinguisher passes the appearance inspection, it will be sent to the disassembly module 102 for disassembly. Here, the tank and the nozzle of the fire extinguisher are separated for further inspection and maintenance.
[0040] The cylinder detection module 103 is specially used to detect the cylinder pressure of the fire extinguisher. It includes a water testing mechanism and a cylinder drying mechanism to ensure the safety and reliability of the cylinder of the fire extinguisher when it is under pressure.
[0041] The tested fire extinguisher will be sent to the filling module 104, which includes a fire extinguishing agent filling mechanism and a power gas filling mechanism. The fire extinguishing agent and power gas are filled into the fire extinguisher to ensure its full function.
[0042] After filling, the fire extinguisher will enter the air tightness detection module 105 for air tightness and air pressure detection. This step ensures that the fire extinguisher can work normally and has no leakage in actual use.
[0043] The transport assembly is responsible for transporting the fire extinguisher from one module to another. It includes a clamping mechanism, a transverse slide rail, a longitudinal slide rail 107 and a rotating disk 108. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the fire extinguisher, while the transverse slide rail, the longitudinal slide rail 107 and the rotating disk 108 are responsible for movement and steering.
[0044] The transverse rails and the longitudinal rails 107 are used to move the fire extinguisher. The transverse rails include a test track 107a, a maintenance track 107b and a scrap track 107c, which are used to send the fire extinguisher to test, repair and scrap treatment respectively. The longitudinal rails 107 connect these rails to ensure that the fire extinguisher can move smoothly between different modules.
[0045] A transfer position is provided at the intersection of the exit of the waste road 107c and the exit of the maintenance road 107b, where a mechanical arm is installed for transferring the fire extinguisher from the maintenance road 107b or the waste road 107c to the next processing position.
[0046] The rotating disk 108 is used to turn the rail car 200 so as to accurately deliver the fire extinguisher to different modules of the maintenance device 100.
[0047] The design of the entire system automates the inspection and maintenance process of fire extinguishers, reduces manual intervention, and improves maintenance efficiency and safety. Through this integrated design, fire extinguisher maintenance work can be carried out at any location without the need to transport the fire extinguisher to a centralized maintenance center, greatly saving time and cost.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] Referring to Figure x, it is a second embodiment of the present invention, which is different from the first embodiment in that the fixing mechanism includes a rail vehicle 200 that can move on the transverse slide rail, the longitudinal slide rail 107 and the rotating disk 108, and a magnetic fixing part arranged on the rail vehicle 200.
[0050] Furthermore, the barrel detection module 103 includes a water testing mechanism and a barrel drying mechanism, the filling module 104 includes a fire extinguishing agent filling mechanism and a power gas filling mechanism, and the rotating disk 108 includes a rotatable disk body, a rotating track arranged on the disk body, and a rotating motor arranged under the disk body.
[0051] Furthermore, the lower part of the rail vehicle 200 includes a pulley and a driving motor that slides with the transverse slide rail, the longitudinal slide rail 107, and the rotating disk 108. The transverse slide rail also includes a flip disk 107d, and the flip disk 107d is driven by a flip mechanism.
[0052] When in use, the clamping mechanism is a key component for clamping and fixing the fire extinguisher, which includes a rail car 200 and a magnetic fixing part. The rail car 200 can move freely on the transverse slide rail, the longitudinal slide rail 107 and the rotating disk 108. This design allows the fire extinguisher to be accurately transported to each module of the maintenance device 100. The magnetic fixing part is set on the rail car 200 to firmly absorb the fire extinguisher to ensure the stability and safety of the fire extinguisher during transportation.
[0053] The cylinder detection module 103 includes a water testing mechanism and a cylinder drying mechanism. The water testing mechanism is used to detect the pressure bearing capacity of the fire extinguisher cylinder to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The cylinder drying mechanism dries the cylinder after the water testing to prevent corrosion or other problems caused by residual moisture, thereby ensuring the long-term reliability of the fire extinguisher.
[0054] The filling module 104 is responsible for filling the fire extinguishing agent and the power gas into the fire extinguisher to restore its function. It includes a fire extinguishing agent filling mechanism and a power gas filling mechanism. The fire extinguishing agent filling mechanism is responsible for accurately filling the fire extinguishing agent into the fire extinguisher, while the power gas filling mechanism is responsible for filling the power gas that enables the fire extinguisher to spray the fire extinguishing agent normally. The cooperation of these two mechanisms ensures that the fire extinguisher can achieve optimal performance after maintenance.
[0055] The rotating disk 108 is a key component for realizing the turning of the rail vehicle 200. It includes a rotatable disk body, a rotating track arranged on the disk body, and a rotating motor arranged under the disk body. The rotating motor drives the disk body to rotate, so that the rail vehicle 200 can change direction between the inspection lane 107a, the maintenance lane 107b and the waste lane 107c, thereby sending the fire extinguisher to the correct processing path.
[0056] The railcar 200 is a carrier for transporting fire extinguishers, and its lower part includes pulleys and drive motors that slide with the transverse slide rails, the longitudinal slide rails 107, and the rotating disk 108. The pulleys ensure the smooth movement of the railcar 200 on the slide rails, while the drive motor provides power, so that the railcar 200 can move quickly and accurately to the designated position according to the instructions of the control system.
[0057] The transverse slide rail also includes a reversing plate 107d, which is a mechanism for changing the direction of the fire extinguisher. The reversing plate 107d is driven by a reversing mechanism, and the fire extinguisher can be turned over to a suitable position when necessary to perform more efficient detection and maintenance operations.
[0058] The collaborative work of these components realizes an automated maintenance process for fire extinguishers. From detection to maintenance to final air tightness detection, each step is completed through precise mechanical operation and automated control, greatly improving maintenance efficiency and accuracy while reducing the risks and costs of manual operations.
[0059] The fire extinguisher detection device and maintenance device are organically combined and integrated into the truck chassis, making the detection of fire extinguishers more convenient. Compared with the existing unified and centralized transportation to the recycling and testing center, its efficiency is significantly improved.
[0060] Example 3
[0061] Reference Figure 1 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention.
[0062] The operation process of the device is to move the mobile device (including the rail car 200) to the location area where the fire extinguisher maintenance is required, collect the fire extinguishers in the area, and manually observe their appearance. Fire extinguishers with obvious defects in appearance will not enter the maintenance device 100, while fire extinguishers to be inspected will be placed in the maintenance device 100.
[0063] The fire extinguisher is inspected by the appearance inspection module 101, and the fixed camera and infrared flaw detection camera are used to scan and take pictures, and the control system analyzes the surface. Unqualified products are sent to the waste channel 107c, and qualified products enter the disassembly module 102.
[0064] The fire extinguisher is disassembled in the disassembly module 102, and the tank body is separated from the nozzle. The tank body is subjected to water pressure testing by the cylinder testing module 103. Fire extinguishers that pass the test enter the maintenance channel 107b for filling and maintenance, and unqualified products enter the waste channel 107c.
[0065] The filling module 104 is responsible for filling the fire extinguishing agent and power gas into the fire extinguisher. After filling, the fire extinguisher enters the airtightness detection module 105 for airtightness and air pressure detection. Qualified products are transported out from the maintenance channel 107b, and unqualified products enter the waste channel 107c. The qualified and unqualified products that have been inspected are placed in categories.
