Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of article drying, in particular to a flip mechanism for a drying cylinder body and a control terminal. Background Art

[0002] Traditional soy sauce brewing requires a drying process of exposure to the sun during the day and dew at night, and it is necessary to perform the operation of vertically flipping the lid according to the weather conditions at any time. At present, traditional soy sauce manufacturers usually use manual operation for flipping the lid. Manual flipping relies on manual operation, has a simple structure, low cost, and low work efficiency. At the same time, considering the utilization efficiency of the soy sauce drying site, the drying cylinders are usually arranged densely, and the space between them is small. It is difficult to install a general electric flipping device in the soy sauce drying yard.

[0003] There are many disadvantages in the prior art: when manually flipping a large or heavy lid, manual operation requires a lot of strength and is likely to fatigue the operator. For example, the frequent opening and closing of the manual lid of a large toolbox will make the user feel strenuous, and there is a lack of precise control. In scenarios where strict requirements are imposed on the flipping angle and speed, such as the protective lid of an optical instrument, manual flipping cannot meet the requirements. At present, traditional soy sauce manufacturers usually use manual operation for flipping the lid. Manual flipping relies on manual operation, has a simple structure, low cost, and low work efficiency. When encountering sudden situations (such as sudden rainfall, etc.) and it is necessary to flip the lid in time, due to the low work efficiency of manual flipping, it is difficult to complete a large-scale flipping operation in time.

[0004] In addition, general vertical flipping designs (including manual and electric) have problems in space utilization. The flipping opening and closing process may require a large space and will be restricted in an environment with limited space, such as in compact laboratory equipment, affecting the normal use of the flipping. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above defects, the object of the present invention is to provide a flip mechanism for a drying cylinder body and a control terminal, aiming to solve the problems that the traditional flip mechanism requires manual operation and has a large operation range during flipping, realizing the automation and intelligence of the flipping operation of the drying cylinder body, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the flipping operation.

[0006] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A flip mechanism for a drying cylinder body, the flip mechanism includes a driver, a rotary rod, a lid body, a slide rod, a fixed part, and a rotating part;

[0008] Both the fixed part and the driver are located on the same outer side of the drying cylinder body;

[0009] The rotating part is rotatably installed on the fixed part; the rotating part is provided with a slide rail;

[0010] The driving end of the driver is connected to the first axis - winding end of the swing rod, and the driver is used to drive the reciprocating swing of the swing rod.

[0011] The second axis - winding end of the swing rod is movably hinged to the hinged end of the sliding rod. The sliding end of the sliding rod penetrates through the slide rail, and the sliding end of the sliding rod is limited to move within the slide rail. The cover body is fixedly installed on the sliding rod.

[0012] The reciprocating swing of the swing rod drives the swing of the sliding rod. Under the limiting action of the slide rail, the sliding rod switches between the closed position and the flip - open position. When the sliding rod is in the closed position, the second axis - winding end of the swing rod and the hinged end of the sliding rod are far from the fixed part, and the hinged end and the rotating part are respectively on both sides of the driver. The cover body covers the opening of the drying cylinder body. When the sliding rod slides from the closed position to the flip - open position, the second axis - winding end of the swing rod and the hinged end of the sliding rod approach the rotating part until the sliding rod is vertically arranged, and the hinged end and the fixed part are on the same side of the driver. The cover body moves to the outside of the drying cylinder body following the sliding rod, and the cover body is perpendicular to the plane where the cylinder opening is located.

[0018] The sensing module is used to obtain the brightness value and humidity value that each drying cylinder body can receive, and send them to the first main control circuit module.

[0019] After receiving the brightness value and humidity value, the first main control circuit module sends the flip - cover information of the corresponding drying cylinder body to the first wireless communication transceiver module according to the comparison result between the preset threshold, the brightness value, and the humidity value.

[0020] After receiving the flip cover information, the first wireless communication transceiver module establishes a communication connection with the second wireless communication transceiver module on the flip cover mechanism of the corresponding drying cylinder body according to the flip cover information and sends a first flip cover instruction;

[0023] Further, the flip cover information includes cover closing information, the sensing module includes a humidity acquisition unit, and the humidity acquisition unit includes a humidity sensor;

[0024] The sensing module is configured to: when the humidity acquisition unit obtains the humidity value of a drying cylinder body, when the humidity value of the drying cylinder body is higher than the humidity threshold, the sensing module sends cover closing information to the first wireless communication transceiver module of the flip cover mechanism of the drying cylinder body.

[0025] Further, the sensing module includes a brightness acquisition unit, and the brightness acquisition unit includes a photosensitive sensor;

[0026] The sensing module is configured to: when the brightness acquisition unit obtains the brightness value that a drying cylinder body can receive, when the brightness value that the drying cylinder body can receive is lower than the brightness threshold, the sensing module sends cover closing information to the first wireless communication transceiver module of the flip cover mechanism of the drying cylinder body.

[0027] Further, the flip cover information includes cover opening information;

[0028] The sensing module is configured to: when the brightness value that a certain drying cylinder body can receive is higher than the brightness threshold and the humidity value that can be received is lower than the humidity threshold, the sensing module sends cover opening information to the first wireless communication transceiver module of the flip cover mechanism of the drying cylinder body.

[0029] Preferably, in the flip cover information sent by the first main control circuit module, the control of the cover body satisfies the following relationship:

[0030] The coordinate of the second axis - winding end of the rotary rod is (X crank , Y crank ), and satisfies the relational expression where r represents the length of the rotary rod and θ represents the rotation angle of the rotary rod;

[0031] Set the position of the rotating part as (slider x , slider y ), and the vector from the end point of the rotating rod to the slider is (dx, dy), satisfying dx = slider x - x crank , dy = slider y - y crank ;

[0032] Set the end point coordinates of the other end of the sliding rod located at the hinge end as (X rod-end , Y rod-end ), then the relational expression is satisfied:

[0033] Set a fixed point on the sliding rod, and set the coordinates of the fixed point as (mid x , mid y ), satisfying the relational expression: mid x = x crank + 0.6×(x rod-end - x crank ), mid y = y crank + 0.6×(y rod-end - y crank ), so as to obtain the end point coordinates (X rof-end , T rod-end ) of the other end of the sliding rod located at the hinge end.

[0049] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0050] In the present application, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including one..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said element.

[0051] There are many disadvantages in the prior art: When manually flipping a large or heavy flip cover, manual operation requires a lot of effort and is likely to fatigue the operator. For example, the frequent opening and closing of the manual flip cover of a large toolbox will make the user feel strenuous, and there is also a lack of precise control. In scenarios where strict requirements are placed on the flip angle and speed, such as the protective cover of an optical instrument, manual flipping cannot meet the requirements. Currently, traditional soy sauce manufacturers usually use manual labor for flip cover operations. Manual flipping relies on manual operation, has a simple structure, low cost, and low work efficiency. When sudden situations (such as sudden rainfall) occur and flipping is required immediately, due to the low work efficiency of manual flipping, it is difficult to complete a large-scale flipping operation in a timely manner.

[0052] In addition, general vertical flip cover designs (including manual and electric) have problems with space utilization. The process of opening and closing the flip cover may require a large amount of space and will be restricted in an environment with limited space, such as in compact laboratory equipment, which affects the normal use of the flip cover.

[0053] Therefore, a flip mechanism for a drying cylinder body is proposed, as Figures 1-6 shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the flip mechanism includes a driver 1, a rotary rod 2, a cover body 5, a sliding rod 3, a fixing part 7 and a rotating part 4;

[0054] Both the fixing part 7 and the driver 1 are located on the same outer side of the drying cylinder body 6;

[0055] The rotating part 4 is rotatably installed on the fixing part 7; the rotating part 4 is provided with a slide rail;

[0056] The driving end of the driver 1 is connected to the first axis - winding end 21 of the swing rod 2, and the driver 1 is used to drive the reciprocating swing of the swing rod 2;

[0057] The second axis - winding end 22 of the swing rod 2 is movably hinged to the hinged end 31 of the slide rod 3. The sliding end 32 of the slide rod 3 passes through the slide rail, and the sliding end 32 of the slide rod 3 is limited to move within the slide rail; the cover body 5 is fixedly installed on the slide rod 3;

[0058] The reciprocating swing of the swing rod 2 drives the swing of the slide rod 3. Under the limiting action of the slide rail, the slide rod 3 switches between the closed position and the flip - open position. When the slide rod 3 is in the closed position, the second axis - winding end 22 of the swing rod 2 and the hinged end 31 of the slide rod 3 are far from the fixing part 7, and the hinged end 31 and the rotating part 4 are respectively located on both sides of the driver 1, and the cover body 5 covers the opening of the drying cylinder body 6. When the slide rod 3 slides from the closed position to the flip - open position, the second axis - winding end 22 of the swing rod 2 approaches the rotating part 4 with the hinged end 31 of the slide rod 3 until the slide rod 3 is vertically arranged, and the hinged end 31 and the fixing part 7 are both located on the same side of the driver 1. The cover body 5 follows the slide rod 3 to move to the outside of the drying cylinder body 6, and the cover body 5 is perpendicular to the plane where the opening is located.

[0059] Specifically, when the flip - cover mechanism works, power is provided by the driving end of the driver 1, so that the swing rod 2 rotates around the connection point between the driving end of the driver 1 and the first axis - winding end 21. For example, Figure 4 and Figure 6 When opening the cover, the swing rod 2 swings counter - clockwise. The movement of the swing rod 2 is transmitted to the slide rod 3 through the hinge. The slide rod 3 slides on the slide rail installed on the rotating part 4. Since the movement of the slide rod 3 is restricted by the slide rail, the plane angle between the slide rod 3 and the opening plane of the drying cylinder body 6 will change, so as to realize the change of the included angle between the cover body 5 and the opening of the drying cylinder body 6, and complete the opening or closing of the cover. This design uses the mechanical linkage principle to achieve complex motion control through a simple mechanical structure, and has the advantages of compact structure, stable operation, and space saving. As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 After the cover body 5 completes the flip - cover operation, it approaches the side of the drying cylinder body 6, and the cover body 5 is perpendicular to the plane where the opening of the drying cylinder body 6 is located. Combining Figures 1-6As shown, during the process of opening the flip cover mechanism, the sliding rod 3 and the swing rod 2 always form a certain angle, which can reduce the space occupied during flipping the cover.

[0060] Among them, the driver 1 is the power source of the flip cover mechanism, responsible for providing rotational power to drive the swing rod 2 to swing reciprocally, and it is the starting point of the movement of the entire mechanism; the swing of the swing rod 2 is transmitted to the sliding rod 3 through the hinge, thereby driving the sliding rod 3 to move; the sliding rod 3 is a component connecting the swing rod 2 and the cover body 5, its hinged end 31 is hinged to the second shaft - winding end 22 of the swing rod 2, the cover body 5 is installed on the sliding rod 3, and the sliding rod 3 slides on the slide rail of the rotating part 4, and its movement is restricted by the slide rail, thereby realizing the opening and closing actions of the cover body 5; the slide rail is the movement track of the sliding rod 3, used to restrict the movement direction of the sliding rod 3, and the angle between its track and the plane where the cylinder opening is located can be changed, thereby guiding the movement of the sliding rod 3 so that the cover body 5 can be opened and closed smoothly; the cover body 5 is a component used to cover or open the cylinder opening. Through the movement of the sliding rod 3, the angle between the cover body 5 and the plane where the cylinder opening is located changes, realizing the functions of opening or closing the cover.

[0061] The driver 1 can adopt an electric servo motor, a motor or other rotational power sources. The electric servo motor can accurately adjust the rotation angle through a control signal and is suitable for occasions that require precise control; the motor is suitable for scenarios with higher requirements for speed and torque. The selection of different drive methods can be determined according to actual application requirements (such as accuracy, speed, cost, etc.). The swing rod 2 can be made of metal or high - strength plastic materials, and its length and shape can be designed according to the size of the drying cylinder body 6 and the requirements of the flip - cover stroke. A shorter swing rod 2 is suitable for occasions with limited space, while a longer swing rod 2 can provide a larger movement range. The sliding rod 3 can be designed as a straight - line type or a curve type. The straight - line type sliding rod 3 has a simple structure and is suitable for linear motion. The cover body 5 can be designed as a single - layer or double - layer structure. The single - layer cover body 5 is suitable for simple protection requirements, and the double - layer cover body 5 can increase the heat insulation or waterproof function. The shape of the cover body 5 can be customized according to the opening shape of the drying cylinder body 6 to achieve a better sealing effect. For example, in the requirements of traditional soy sauce brewing and drying processes, the cover body 5 will have a good sealing effect.

[0062] Through the combination of the above steps, the flip cover mechanism can achieve an efficient, flexible and space-saving flip cover operation. In the initial state, the cover body 5 tightly covers the cylinder opening to ensure airtightness; during the opening or closing of the cover, the driver 1 transmits power through the rotary rod 2, and the sliding rod 3 slides on the slide rail of the rotating part 4, and the angle between the cover body 5 and the plane where the cylinder opening is located gradually changes to complete the opening or closing action. Among them, the power output of the driver 1 and the cooperation of the rotating part 4 are particularly important. The rotation of the rotating part 4 and the cooperation of the driver 1 can reduce the coverage range of the sliding rod 3 during the movement process. Therefore, the flip cover mechanism proposed by the present invention not only reduces the space required for flipping the cover, but also realizes stable motion control through mechanical linkage. In addition, by selecting different driving methods and the design of the rotating part 4, flexible applications in various application scenarios can be realized, such as high-precision control, high-efficiency production, etc., and automatic and intelligent operations can be realized according to the actual situation, further improving production efficiency and operation convenience.

[0063] Preferably, in the initial state, the axis of the driving end of the driver 1, the axis of rotation of the rotating part 4, and the hinge joint of the rotary rod 2 and the sliding rod 3 are located on the same straight line (refer to the appendix Figure 2 ).

[0064] The principle of this design is based on geometric alignment and kinematic optimization, aiming to save space and improve the compactness of the mechanism through a reasonable initial layout. When these three key points are located on the same straight line, the entire flip cover mechanism occupies the smallest space in the initial state, and at the same time provides the optimal starting position for the subsequent flip cover action, not only reducing the space occupied by the mechanism in the initial state, but also ensuring that the movement trajectories of the sliding rod 3 and the rotary rod 2 are more compact during the flip cover process, further saving the operating space.

[0065] The axis of the driving end of the driver 1 is the rotation center of the driving device (such as a servo or a motor), which is the power input point of the entire flip cover mechanism. In the initial state, the position of the axis of the driving end of the driver 1 determines the starting point of the movement of the entire mechanism, ensuring that the power can be accurately transmitted to the rotary rod 2; in the initial state, the axis of rotation of the rotating part 4, the axis of the driving end of the driver 1, and the hinge joint of the rotary rod 2 and the sliding rod 3 are aligned, ensuring that the initial position of the slide rail matches the movement trajectories of the rotary rod 2 and the sliding rod 3, so as to ensure the smooth sliding of the sliding rod 3 on the slide rail; through the hinge connection, relative movement between the rotary rod 2 and the sliding rod 3 is allowed. In the initial state, this hinge point is aligned with the axis of the driving end of the driver 1 and the axis of rotation of the rotating part 4, ensuring that when the driving end starts to drive, the movement of the sliding rod 3 and the rotary rod 2 can be smoothly transmitted without movement interference or additional stress.

[0066] Preferably, the driver is a driving servo.

[0067] The principle of selecting a drive servo as the driver is based on its precise control ability and efficient power output. A servo is a type of motor that can precisely control the angle and speed. By receiving control signals, it can achieve precise rotational motion. In the flip cover mechanism, the precise control ability of the servo can ensure that the movement trajectory of the swing rod is accurate, thus realizing the smooth opening and closing of the cover body. In addition, the servo usually has a high torque and a small volume, and can provide sufficient power within a limited space, further optimizing the space utilization rate of the flip cover mechanism.

[0068] A flip cover control terminal for a drying cylinder body, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the flip cover control terminal is used to control one or more of the above-mentioned flip cover mechanisms, the flip cover mechanism is installed on the drying cylinder body, and the flip cover control terminal includes a management module and a control module installed on each of the flip cover mechanisms;

[0069] The management module includes a first main control circuit module, a first wireless communication transceiver module, and a sensing module;

[0070] The control module includes a second main control circuit module and a second wireless communication transceiver module;

[0071] The sensing module is used to obtain the brightness value and humidity value that each drying cylinder body can receive, and send them to the first main control circuit module;

[0072] After receiving the brightness value and humidity value, the first main control circuit module sends the flip cover information of the corresponding drying cylinder body to the first wireless communication transceiver module according to the preset threshold and the comparison result between the brightness value and humidity value;

[0073] After receiving the flip cover information, the first wireless communication transceiver module establishes a communication connection with the second wireless communication transceiver module on the flip cover mechanism of the corresponding drying cylinder body and sends a first flip cover instruction;

[0074] After receiving the first flip cover instruction, the second wireless communication transceiver module sends communication information to the second main control circuit module according to the first flip cover instruction;

[0075] The second main control circuit module is used to receive the communication information of the second wireless communication transceiver module, parse the communication information, and send a second flip cover instruction to the driver of the flip cover mechanism of the corresponding drying cylinder body according to the parsing result.

[0076] Specifically, the design of the flip cover control terminal for the drying cylinder aims to achieve the intelligent management of the flip cover mechanism of the drying cylinder. The perception module monitors the environmental brightness and humidity in real time. The management module judges whether a flip cover operation is required according to the preset threshold and sends instructions to the control modules of each drying cylinder through the wireless communication module. After receiving the instructions, the control module drives the flip cover mechanism to complete the corresponding actions, which not only improves the automation degree of the operation, but also reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency and drying effect.

[0077] Among them, the management module is the core part of the entire control terminal, responsible for receiving data from the perception module, making logical judgments, and sending flip cover instructions; the control module is installed on the flip cover mechanism of each drying cylinder, responsible for receiving instructions sent by the management module and driving the flip cover mechanism to execute corresponding actions; the perception module is used to monitor the environmental brightness and humidity around the drying cylinder in real time and send this data to the management module. The perception module can be composed of a photosensitive sensor and a humidity sensor; the first main control circuit module is the core of the management module, responsible for processing data transmitted by the perception module, judging whether a flip cover is needed according to the preset threshold, and then sending corresponding instructions to the first wireless communication transceiver module; the first wireless communication transceiver module is responsible for the wireless communication between the management module and each control module, sending the instructions of the management module to the corresponding control module, and receiving feedback information from the control module; the second main control circuit module is the core of the control module, responsible for receiving instructions transmitted by the second wireless communication transceiver module, parsing these instructions, and then sending corresponding driving instructions to the driving end of the flip cover mechanism; the second wireless communication transceiver module is responsible for the wireless communication between the control module and the management module, receiving instructions sent by the management module, and feeding back the status information of the control module to the management module.

[0078] The photosensitive sensor in the perception module can use a CMOS optical sensor or a photosensitive resistor to measure the environmental brightness; the humidity sensor can use a humidity-sensitive resistor or a capacitive humidity sensor to measure the environmental humidity; the data acquisition method is that the perception module sends the collected brightness value and humidity value to the first main control circuit module through an analog signal or a digital signal.

[0079] The first wireless communication transceiver module can use wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or ZigBee to communicate with each control module; the second wireless communication transceiver module uses the same communication technology as the first wireless communication transceiver module to ensure communication compatibility and stability. Among them, the communication protocol can use standard wireless communication protocols such as TCP / IP, MQTT, etc. to ensure the reliability and real-time nature of data transmission.

[0080] The first main control circuit module can adopt a microcontroller (such as Arduino, STM32, etc.) or a single-chip microcomputer, which is responsible for data processing and logical judgment; the second main control circuit module can also adopt a microcontroller or a single-chip microcomputer, which is responsible for receiving instructions and driving the flip mechanism; instruction parsing means that the main control circuit module needs to have the ability to parse communication protocols, be able to accurately understand the received instructions, and execute corresponding actions.

[0081] Through intelligent management and automatic control, the flip control terminal of the drying cylinder body can achieve efficient management of the flip operation of the drying cylinder body. The sensing module monitors the environmental brightness and humidity in real time to ensure that the flip operation is carried out under appropriate conditions, improving the drying effect. The wireless communication between the management module and the control module makes the whole system more flexible and can be easily extended to multiple drying cylinder bodies. By presetting thresholds and automatic judgment, manual intervention can be reduced and production efficiency can be improved. In addition, it can be customized and optimized according to actual needs, such as adjusting the threshold under different environmental conditions or performing manual intervention in special cases. In addition, this intelligent flip control terminal is particularly suitable for large-scale drying occasions, which can significantly improve the convenience and reliability of operation.

[0082] Preferably, the flip information includes closing cover information, the sensing module includes a humidity acquisition unit, and the humidity acquisition unit includes a humidity sensor;

[0083] The sensing module is configured to: when the humidity acquisition unit obtains the humidity value of a drying cylinder body, when the humidity value of the drying cylinder body is higher than the humidity threshold, the sensing module sends the closing cover information to the first wireless communication transceiver module of the flip mechanism of the drying cylinder body.

[0084] Specifically, the humidity sensor in the humidity acquisition unit circuit monitors the humidity environment around the drying cylinder body in real time. When the monitored humidity value exceeds the preset humidity threshold, the sensing module will automatically trigger the closing cover operation and send the closing cover information to the corresponding flip mechanism through the wireless communication module, thereby realizing the automatic closing cover function. The purpose is to automatically protect the items in the drying cylinder body in a high-humidity environment (such as rainy days or foggy days) and avoid quality degradation caused by a humid environment.

[0085] In one embodiment, assume that there are 10 drying cylinders in a soy sauce drying yard. At this time, the flip cover control terminal monitors each cylinder. Initially, the flip cover mechanisms of all drying cylinders are in the initial state, and the lids are in the closed state. The sensing module starts to work and regularly collects ambient humidity data. The humidity sensor in the sensing module monitors the humidity around the drying cylinders in real time. The humidity value is read once per minute. Assume that at a certain moment, the humidity values of the 10 drying cylinders are as follows: Cylinder 61: 65%, Cylinder 62: 68%, Cylinder 63: 72%, Cylinder 64: 69%, Cylinder 65: 71%, Cylinder 66: 67%, Cylinder 67: 73%, Cylinder 68: 66%, Cylinder 69: 70%, Cylinder 610: 75%. The preset humidity threshold is 70%. When the sensing module detects that the humidity value around a certain drying cylinder exceeds 70%, it is determined that the lid needs to be closed. According to the above data, the humidity values of Cylinder 63, Cylinder 65, Cylinder 67, and Cylinder 610 exceed 70%, and the lids need to be closed. The sensing module sends the lid-closing information to the management module through the first wireless communication transceiver module. After receiving the lid-closing information, the management module sends the lid-closing instruction to the corresponding control module through the second wireless communication transceiver module. After receiving the lid-closing instruction, the second main control circuit module in the control module parses the instruction and sends a driving signal to the driver (servo) of the flip cover mechanism. The servo executes the lid-closing action according to the driving signal and closes the lid of the drying cylinder.

[0086] Preferably, the sensing module includes a brightness acquisition unit, and the brightness acquisition unit includes a photosensitive sensor;

[0087] The sensing module is configured to: when the brightness acquisition unit obtains the brightness value that a drying cylinder can receive, when the brightness value that the drying cylinder can receive is lower than the brightness threshold, the sensing module sends the lid-closing information to the first wireless communication transceiver module of the flip cover mechanism of the drying cylinder.

[0088] Similarly, through the photosensitive sensor in the brightness acquisition unit circuit, the sensing module can obtain the brightness information around the drying cylinder in real time. When the monitored brightness value is lower than the preset brightness threshold, it indicates that the ambient light is insufficient, which may affect the drying effect of the soy sauce. Therefore, the lid needs to be closed to protect the soy sauce. At this time, the sensing module will trigger a lid-closing signal and send the lid-closing information to the corresponding flip cover mechanism through the first wireless communication transceiver module, thus realizing the automatic lid-closing operation. This not only reduces manual intervention, improves the timeliness and accuracy of the operation, but also can optimize the environmental control during the drying process, ensure that the soy sauce is dried under suitable conditions, and improve the quality of the final product.

[0089] In practical applications, when the ambient brightness is lower than the preset threshold, the lid-closing operation can be quickly and accurately triggered, effectively avoiding the adverse effects of insufficient light on the soy sauce drying process, thereby ensuring the quality and production efficiency of soy sauce.

[0090] In one embodiment, in a certain soy sauce drying yard, there are 10 drying cylinders. In the initial state, the flip mechanisms of all drying cylinders are in the closed state, and the sensing module starts to work and regularly collects ambient brightness data. During the brightness monitoring process, the photosensitive sensor in the sensing module continuously monitors the brightness around the drying cylinders and reads the brightness value once per minute. Suppose at a certain moment, the brightness values of the 10 drying cylinders are as follows: cylinder 61 is 600 lux, cylinder 62 is 550 lux, cylinder 63 is 450 lux, cylinder 64 is 580 lux, cylinder 65 is 480 lux, cylinder 66 is 520 lux, cylinder 67 is 400 lux, cylinder 68 is 510 lux, cylinder 69 is 490 lux, and cylinder 610 is 530 lux. The preset brightness threshold is 500 lux. When the sensing module detects that the brightness value around a certain drying cylinder is lower than 500 lux, which is not conducive to drying, it is determined that the lid needs to be closed. According to the above data, the brightness values of cylinder 63, cylinder 65, cylinder 67, and cylinder 69 are lower than 500 lux, and the lid-closing operation needs to be performed. The sensing module sends the lid-closing information to the management module through the first wireless communication transceiver module. After receiving the lid-closing information, the management module sends the lid-closing instruction to the corresponding control module through the second wireless communication transceiver module. After the second main control circuit module in the control module receives the lid-closing instruction, it parses the instruction and sends a drive signal to the driver (servo) of the flip mechanism. The servo performs the lid-closing action according to the drive signal and closes the lid of the drying cylinder. After the lid-closing operation is completed, the control module can feedback the operation result to the management module, and the management module records the operation log for subsequent monitoring and analysis to ensure the automated and intelligent management of the entire drying process.

[0091] Preferably, the flip information includes the lid-opening information;

[0092] The sensing module is configured to: when the brightness value received by a certain drying cylinder is higher than the brightness threshold and the humidity value received is lower than the humidity threshold, the sensing module sends the lid-opening information to the first wireless communication transceiver module of the flip mechanism of the drying cylinder.

[0093] Specifically, in a certain soy sauce drying yard, there are 10 drying cylinders, and each cylinder is equipped with an intelligent flip cover control terminal. In the initial state, the flip cover mechanisms of all drying cylinders are in the closed state, and the sensing module starts to work and regularly collects environmental brightness and humidity data. During the monitoring process, the photosensitive sensor and the humidity sensor in the sensing module continuously monitor the brightness and humidity around the drying cylinders, and read the brightness value and humidity value once a minute. Suppose at a certain moment, the brightness values of the 10 drying cylinders are as follows: cylinder 61 is 600 lux, cylinder 62 is 550 lux, cylinder 63 is 450 lux, cylinder 64 is 580 lux, cylinder 65 is 480 lux, cylinder 66 is 520 lux, cylinder 67 is 400 lux, cylinder 68 is 510 lux, cylinder 69 is 490 lux, cylinder 610 is 530 lux; at the same time, the humidity values are as follows: cylinder 61 is 60%, cylinder 62 is 65%, cylinder 63 is 72%, cylinder 64 is 68%, cylinder 65 is 70%, cylinder 66 is 64%, cylinder 67 is 75%, cylinder 68 is 62%, cylinder 69 is 68%, cylinder 610 is 73%. The preset brightness threshold is 500 lux, and the humidity threshold is 70%. When the sensing module detects that the brightness value around a certain drying cylinder is higher than 500 lux and the humidity value is lower than 70%, it is judged as a suitable drying condition, and the opening operation needs to be performed. According to the above data, the brightness values of cylinder 61, cylinder 62, cylinder 64, cylinder 66, cylinder 68, and cylinder 610 are higher than 500 lux and the humidity values are lower than 70%, so the opening operation needs to be performed. The sensing module sends the opening information to the management module through the first wireless communication transceiver module. After receiving the opening information, the management module sends the opening instruction to the corresponding control module through the second wireless communication transceiver module. After receiving the opening instruction, the second main control circuit module in the control module analyzes the instruction and sends a driving signal to the driver (servo) of the flip cover mechanism. The servo performs the opening action according to the driving signal, opens the lid of the drying cylinder, and realizes the automation of the soy sauce drying flip cover.

[0094] Preferably, in the flip cover information sent by the first main control circuit module, the control of the cover body 5 satisfies the following relationship:

[0095] The coordinates of the second shaft-end 22 of the rotary rod 2 are (X crank , T crank ), and satisfy the relational expression where r represents the length of the rotary rod 2, and θ represents the rotation angle of the rotary rod 2;

[0096] Let the position of the rotating part 4 be (slider x , slider y ), and the vector from the end point of the rotary rod 2 to the slider be (dx, dy), which satisfies dx = slider x-x crank ,dy = slider y -y crank ;

[0097] Set the endpoint coordinates of the other end of the slider 3 located at the hinge end 31 as (X rod-end ,Y rod-end ), then the relational expression is satisfied:

[0098] Set a fixed point on the slider 3, and set the coordinates of the fixed point as (mid x ,mid y ), which satisfies the relational expression: mid x = x crank + 0.6×(x rod-end - x crank ), mid y = y crank + 0.6×(y rod-end - y crank ), so as to obtain the endpoint coordinates (X rod-end ,Y rod-end ) of the other end of the slider 3 located at the hinge end 31.

[0099] By calculating the endpoint coordinates of the other end of the slider 3 located at the hinge end 31, it can be ensured that the movement of the slider 3 is precisely matched with the rotation angle of the swing rod 2 and the position of the slider, and it can automatically coordinate the rotation of the swing rod 2 and the sliding movement of the rotating part 4 on the slide rail, making the flip action smoother and avoiding jamming or interference.

[0100] Furthermore, as Figure 8 shown, when the flip control terminal is used to control a flip mechanism as described above, the management module and the flip mechanism to be controlled are installed on the same drying cylinder body;

[0101] The first wireless communication transceiver module of the management module establishes a communication connection with the second wireless communication transceiver module of the flip mechanism to be controlled.

[0102] In the flip cover control terminal, when the management module only needs to control the flip cover mechanism one-to-one, the management module and the flip cover mechanism can be installed on the same drying cylinder body, and cooperative control can be achieved through an integrated wireless communication architecture. For example, the first wireless communication transceiver module built into the management module and the second wireless communication transceiver module carried by the flip cover mechanism establish a wireless link with low latency and high reliability (such as Bluetooth 5.0 or ZigBee protocol) to form a closed control loop. The management module real-time collects the motion state of the flip cover mechanism, sends control instructions (such as the target angle between the cover body and the cylinder opening) through the wireless channel, and at the same time receives the feedback data of the flip cover mechanism (such as the actual angle between the cover body and the cylinder opening, the endpoint coordinates of the hinged end and the sliding end of the sliding rod). This design reduces signal attenuation through co-location installation in space, avoids the wiring problem of mechanical rotating parts by using short-range wireless communication, and ensures the two-way synchronization of control instructions and sensing data through protocol stack optimization, ultimately achieving precise closed-loop control of the flip cover action and enhancing the robustness of the system in complex industrial environments such as humidity and vibration.

[0103] Furthermore, as Figure 7 shown, when the flip cover control terminal is used to control multiple flip cover mechanisms as described above, the first wireless communication transceiver module of the management module establishes communication connections with the second wireless communication transceiver modules of several flip cover mechanisms to be controlled.

[0104] When the management module of the flip cover control terminal manages multiple flip cover mechanisms, the management module can be located at a drying cylinder body or somewhere in the drying site. The management module can establish a star or mesh network with the second wireless communication transceiver modules of each flip cover mechanism through its first wireless communication transceiver module (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Mesh or ZigBee protocol that supports multi-node networking). The management module, as the main node, assigns a unique identifier (such as MAC address or custom ID) to each flip cover mechanism through dynamic address allocation and channel scheduling technology to achieve multi-channel concurrent communication. Control instructions are sent in the form of broadcasts, and at the same time, real-time feedback data of each flip cover mechanism (such as whether the cover body 5 has completed the flip) is received. Signal conflicts can be avoided through time-division multiplexing (TDM) or frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) strategies, and adaptive frequency hopping technology is used to suppress environmental interference. This design supports multi-mechanism cooperative actions (such as linked flipping), load balancing and redundant fault tolerance, and at the same time reduces the wiring complexity through centralized management, and is suitable for distributed industrial scenarios (such as large-scale drying systems or multi-station synchronous control of production lines).
