Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of probe storage technology, specifically to a probe storage device with an automatic feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In high-temperature industrial processes such as steel smelting and casting, temperature measuring probes, oxygen measuring probes, and sampling probes are essential consumables for obtaining key process parameters (temperature, oxygen activity, and composition) of molten metal in real time. The efficiency of the storage, management, and retrieval of these probes directly affects the production rhythm, product quality, and production costs.

[0003] Currently, in most industrial sites, the storage and loading of probes still rely on manual operation. Workers need to identify the required type of probe from open material racks or simple storage boxes in the harsh environment in front of the furnace and manually install it onto the measuring gun. This method is inefficient, and the process of manually searching for, retrieving, and loading materials is time-consuming. It cannot match the pace of high-speed automated production and poses significant safety hazards. Operators are exposed to high temperatures, metal splashes, and high dust environments, resulting in extremely high occupational health risks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above and / or in a probe storage device with an automatic feeding device, the present invention is proposed.

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A probe storage device with an automatic feeding mechanism, comprising:

[0009] The storage box has an opening at the bottom, a support frame installed at the bottom, three storage cavities at the top, storage cavities at the bottom of the storage cavities, and a material discharge cavity at the bottom of the storage cavities. An outlet positioning frame is installed on the side wall of the support frame.

[0010] The discharge assembly comprises three components, each disposed within one of the three discharge chambers. Each component includes a discharge roller rotatably connected to the discharge chamber, a first fixed plate mounted on the side wall of the storage tank, and a motor mounted on the top of the first fixed plate. The discharge roller has a cylindrical structure and a discharge groove is provided on its top. The lowest probe located inside the storage chamber is located inside the discharge groove. The motor is connected to the discharge roller and drives the discharge roller to rotate.

[0011] A conveying assembly is installed inside the support frame and connected to the discharge assembly. When the discharge assembly releases the probe inside the storage cavity, it drives the conveying assembly to transport the probe released by the discharge assembly to the outlet positioning frame.

[0012] The dust collection components consist of three components that extend into the three storage cavities respectively. Each dust collection component is connected to the corresponding discharge component and is used to suck out the dust attached to the probe inside the storage cavity.

[0013] The cleaning components consist of three sets located inside the three storage cavities. Each cleaning component is connected to the corresponding vacuuming component and is used to clean the probe located at the bottom of the storage cavity.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the probe storage device with an automatic feeding device described in this invention, the feeding assembly further includes a floating block slidably located on the side wall of the storage box.

A second connecting plate is hinged to the bottom of the guide block, and the other end of the bottom of the second connecting plate is hinged to the side wall of the conveying table. When the floating block moves downward, it squeezes the lifting plate downward and causes the guide block to slide inside the guide groove. When the guide block slides, it causes the conveying table to flip upward.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the probe storage device with an automatic feeding device described in this invention, a funnel-shaped hopper is installed inside the receiving cavity. The opening at the bottom of the funnel-shaped hopper is only large enough to accommodate one probe. The height of the funnel-shaped hopper is less than the height of the receiving cavity.

The first reciprocating threaded rods are equipped with drive rollers. A first rack is installed on the symmetrical inner wall of the receiving cavity. Both the first reciprocating threaded rods and the first rack are located below the funnel-shaped hopper.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the probe storage device with an automatic feeding device described in this invention, the cleaning assembly consists of three groups. Each group of cleaning assemblies is located inside the corresponding receiving cavity and below the funnel-shaped hopper. Each group of cleaning assemblies consists of two components that are symmetrically slidably connected to both sides of the receiving cavity with the bottom opening of the funnel-shaped hopper as the center. Each cleaning assembly includes a slider slidably connected to the bottom of the receiving cavity and a turntable located at the top of the slider. The side wall of the slider is provided with a first reciprocating threaded hole. Each first reciprocating threaded rod rotates through the corresponding first reciprocating threaded hole. A cleaning brush is installed on the outer wall of the turntable. A fourth gear is installed at the bottom of the turntable. The fourth gear is rotatably connected to the top of the slider. The first rack meshes with the fourth gear.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the probe storage device with an automatic feeding device described in this invention, the dust collection assembly includes a third fixing plate installed on the side wall of the storage box, a fixing tube installed on the side wall of the storage box and located on top of the third fixing plate, and a piston located inside the fixing tube. A dust collection pipe is installed on the top of the fixing tube, and the top end of the dust collection pipe extends into the storage cavity and branches in a Y-shape. The two ends of the Y-shaped branch of the dust collection pipe are respectively connected to the side walls of the corresponding two sliders and face the cleaning brush. A first one-way valve is installed on the body of the dust collection pipe, and an exhaust pipe is installed on the side wall of the fixing tube. A second one-way valve is installed on the body of the exhaust pipe.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the probe storage device with an automatic feeding device described in this invention, three second gears are rotatably connected to the side wall of the storage box, and the three second gears are coaxially and fixedly connected to the three discharge rollers. The three second gears are respectively located below the three third fixed plates. A third gear is rotatably connected to the bottom of the third fixed plate. A second reciprocating threaded rod is rotatably connected to the top of the third fixed plate. A first helical gear is rotatably connected to the bottom of the third fixed plate. The second reciprocating threaded rod is coaxially and fixedly connected to the first helical gear. A fixed rod is installed at the bottom of the piston. A second reciprocating threaded hole is opened at the bottom end of the fixed rod. The second reciprocating threaded rod rotates into the second reciprocating threaded hole. Each second gear meshes with the corresponding third gear. A second helical gear is installed on the side wall of the third gear, and the second helical gear meshes with the first helical gear.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the probe storage device with an automatic feeding device described in this invention, the storage box sidewall is rotatably connected to three sets of one-way gears. Each set of one-way gears consists of two gears symmetrically located on both sides below each fixed tube. One end of the first reciprocating threaded rod extends out of the storage box sidewall and is equipped with a first pulley. Each one-way gear is connected to the corresponding first pulley via a belt. The piston rod is symmetrically equipped with two one-way racks, which face opposite directions and mesh with the two one-way gears respectively.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the probe storage device with an automatic feeding device described in this invention, an opening is provided on the side wall of the fixed tube near the bottom, the opening is located below the exhaust pipe, and a device is provided inside the opening, while a device is installed on the side wall, which is located inside the fixed tube.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies: By dividing the storage box into three storage chambers, the temperature measuring, oxygen determination, and sampling probes are stacked and stored in the three storage chambers respectively. A discharge component is set at the bottom of each storage chamber, and a conveying component is set at the bottom of the storage box. Each storage chamber is equipped with a cleaning component and a corresponding dust collection component. By activating the discharge component, the probe in the corresponding storage chamber is released and conveyed to the outlet positioning slot by the conveying component, waiting for the robot to grab it. When the discharge component releases the probe, it drives the cleaning component and dust collection component to clean the probe inside the storage chamber. This can quickly grab the required probe and prevent the probe from getting stuck due to increased friction coefficient, cross-sectional deformation interlocking, and contaminant accumulation caused by dust on the probe.

[0034] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, actual fabrication should include three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] This invention provides a probe storage device with an automatic unloading mechanism, which can quickly unload and grab the required probes and prevent the probe unloading from being hindered by factors such as increased friction coefficient, cross-sectional deformation interlocking, and contaminant accumulation caused by dust on the probe.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Figure 1-7 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a first embodiment of a probe storage device with an automatic feeding mechanism according to the present invention. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-7 The probe storage device with an automatic feeding device in this embodiment includes a storage box 100, a feeding component 200, a conveying component 300, a dust collection component 400, and a cleaning component 500.

[0040] The storage box 100 has an opening at the bottom, a support frame 110 is installed at the bottom of the storage box 100, three storage cavities 120 are opened at the top of the storage box 100, a storage cavity 130 is opened at the bottom of the storage cavity 120, a discharge cavity 140 is opened at the bottom of the storage cavity 130, and an outlet positioning frame 110a is installed on the side wall of the support frame 110.

[0041] The discharge assembly 200 comprises three components, each disposed within a different discharge chamber 140. Each component includes a discharge roller 210 rotatably connected within a discharge chamber 140, a first fixing plate 220 mounted on the side wall of the storage tank 100, and a motor 230 mounted on the top of the first fixing plate 220. The discharge roller 210 has a cylindrical structure and a discharge trough 210a at its top. A probe located at the bottom of the storage chamber 130 is positioned inside the discharge trough 210a. The motor 230 is connected to the discharge roller 210 and drives it to rotate. In the initial state, the discharge trough 210a faces the bottom of the storage chamber 130, and the probes are stacked within the storage chamber 130. Inside, the lowest probe is located inside the material discharge trough 210a. When the discharge roller 210 rotates, it drives the probe inside the material discharge trough 210a to rotate. At this time, the outer wall of the discharge roller 210 closes the bottom of the storage cavity 130 to prevent the probe inside the storage cavity 130 from moving downwards. Until the discharge roller 210 rotates to the point where the material discharge trough 210a faces downwards, the probe inside the material discharge trough 210a falls from its interior, completing the material discharge of the probe. As the discharge roller 210 flips and resets, the material discharge trough 210a faces the bottom of the storage cavity 130. The probe inside the storage cavity 130 moves downwards due to gravity, and the lowest probe falls into the material discharge trough 210a.

[0042] The conveying assembly 300 is installed inside the support frame 110 and connected to the discharge assembly 200. When the discharge assembly 200 releases the probe inside the storage cavity 130, it drives the conveying assembly 300 to transport the probe released by the discharge assembly 200 to the outlet positioning frame 110a.

[0043] There are three dust collection components 400, which extend into the three storage cavities 120 respectively. Each dust collection component 400 is connected to the corresponding discharge component 200 and is used to suck out the dust attached to the probe inside the storage cavity 120.

[0044] The cleaning components 500 are in three groups and are located inside the three storage cavities 120 respectively. Each cleaning component 500 is connected to the corresponding vacuuming component 400 and is used to clean the probe located at the bottom inside the storage cavity 120.

[0045] Combination Figures 1-7This embodiment of a probe storage device with an automatic feeding mechanism allows probes for temperature measurement, oxygen determination, and sampling to be stacked in three receiving cavities 120 during use. The probes then fall from the receiving cavities 120 into the storage cavity 130, where they are evenly stacked. When a probe needs to be removed, the corresponding motor 230 is activated to rotate the discharge roller 210 below the corresponding storage cavity 130. The rotation of the discharge roller 210 causes the probes located in the feeding trough 210a to fall out, and simultaneously drives the dust collection assembly 400 and the cleaning assembly 500 to clean the bottom of the receiving cavity 120. The probes are cleaned to remove dust and other external debris. When the discharge roller 210 resets, the conveying assembly 300 transports the unloaded probes to the outlet positioning frame 110a for the robot to pick them up. At this time, the probes inside the storage cavity 130 move downwards due to gravity. The cleaned probes at the bottom of the receiving cavity 120 fall into the storage cavity 130 and are arranged inside. This facilitates quick unloading and picking up of the required probes and prevents the probes from getting stuck due to increased friction coefficient, cross-sectional deformation interlocking, or contaminant accumulation caused by dust on the probes.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Figure 1-9 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a second embodiment of a probe storage device with an automatic feeding mechanism according to the present invention. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-9 Unlike the embodiments described above, the probe storage device with an automatic feeding device in this embodiment further includes:

[0048] The discharge assembly 200 also includes a floating block 240 that slides on the side wall of the storage box 100. The output end of the motor 230 extends out of the bottom of the first fixed plate 220 and is equipped with a threaded rod 230a. The top of the floating block 240 has a threaded hole 240a, and the threaded rod 230a rotates into the threaded hole 240a. The side wall of the floating block 240 has a sliding groove 240b, and a second rack 240b-1 is installed on the inner wall of the sliding groove 240b. Three first gears 150 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the storage box 100. The first gear 150 is at the same height and located inside three chute 240b. Each first gear 150 meshes with a corresponding second rack 240b-1. Three second pulleys 210b are rotatably connected to the side wall of the storage box 100. The three second pulleys 210b are coaxially and fixedly connected to the three discharge rollers 210. Each second pulley 210b is connected to the corresponding first gear 150 by a belt. The starting motor 230 drives the threaded rod 230a to rotate. When the threaded rod 230a rotates, it uses a screw structure to push... The floating block 240 moves downward, causing the second rack 240b-1 to move downward as well. The second rack 240b-1 then drives the first gear 150 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 150, via a belt, drives the second pulley 210b to rotate, which in turn drives the corresponding discharge roller 210 to rotate. The rotation of the discharge roller 210 causes the probe located inside the discharge chute 210a to rotate until the floating block 240 moves to its final position, the discharge chute 210a faces downward, and the probe inside falls out. At this point, the motor... 230 drives the threaded rod 230a to reverse, and the threaded rod 230a uses the screw structure to push the floating block 240 to move upward. The floating block 240 drives the second rack 240b-1 to move upward. The second rack 240b-1 drives the first gear 150 to reverse. The first gear 150 uses the belt to drive the second pulley 210b and the discharge roller 210 to reverse, causing the discharge chute 210a to rotate and reset. At this time, the probes located inside the storage cavity 130 are downward, and the lowest probe falls into the discharge chute 210a.

[0049] The conveying assembly 300 includes a conveying platform 310 rotatably connected to the bottom of the storage box 100. A second fixing plate 320 is installed on the side wall of the storage box 100. A guide groove 320a is formed on the top of the second fixing plate 320. A lifting plate 330 is slidably connected to the side wall of the storage box 100. The lifting plate 330 is located between the first fixing plate 220 and the second fixing plate 320. Three slots are formed on the side wall of the lifting plate 330, and the three slots correspond to the positions of three second pulleys 210b, respectively. The size of the floating block 240 is larger than the size of the slots. A spring 330a is installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 330. The system also includes a guide block 340, which is slidably connected inside the guide groove 320a. A first connecting plate 340a is hinged to the top of the guide block 340, and the other end of the first connecting plate 340a is hinged to the bottom of the lifting plate 330. A second connecting plate 340b is hinged to the bottom of the guide block 340, and the other end of the bottom of the second connecting plate 340b is hinged to the side wall of the conveyor table 310. When the floating block 240 moves downward, it presses the lifting plate 330 downward and causes the guide block 340 to slide inside the guide groove 320a. When the guide block 340 slides, it causes the conveyor table 310 to flip upward. When block 240 moves downward, because the size of floating block 240 is larger than the slot size of lifting plate 330, floating block 240 pushes lifting plate 330 downward and compresses spring 330a. When lifting plate 330 moves downward, it pushes guide block 340 to slide to the right inside guide groove 320a through first connecting plate 340a. At the same time, guide block 340 pulls conveyor table 310 upward through second connecting plate 340b until floating block 240 moves downward into position. At this time, conveyor table 310 flips to fit the bottom of storage box 100, reducing the number of probes inside drop chute 210a falling onto conveyor table. The distance at the top of plate 310 effectively protects the probe, preventing damage from collisions caused by falling. When the floating block 240 moves upward, the spring 330a rebounds and pushes the lifting plate 330 upward. The lifting plate 330 pulls the guide block 340 to move to the left inside the guide groove 320a through the first connecting plate 340a. The guide block 340 pushes the conveyor plate 310 downward to reset through the second connecting plate 340b. During the downward flipping of the conveyor plate 310, the probe at its top rolls down the slope of the conveyor plate 310 to the exit positioning frame 110a, waiting for the robot arm to grab it.

[0050] Inside the receiving cavity 120, a funnel-shaped hopper 120a is installed. The bottom opening of the funnel-shaped hopper 120a is only large enough to accommodate one probe. The height of the funnel-shaped hopper 120a is less than the height of the receiving cavity 120. The top of the funnel-shaped hopper 120a is flush with the top of the receiving cavity 120, and there is a gap between the bottom of the funnel-shaped hopper 120a and the bottom of the receiving cavity 120. Inside the receiving cavity 120, there are two first reciprocating threaded rods 120b that rotate symmetrically about the bottom opening of the funnel-shaped hopper 120a. A drive roller 120b-1 is installed on the body of the first reciprocating threaded rod 120b. A first rack 120c is installed on the symmetrical inner wall of the receiving cavity 120. Both rod 120b and first rack 120c are located below funnel-shaped hopper 120a. The cleaning assembly 500 consists of three sets, each set located inside a corresponding receiving cavity 120 and below the funnel-shaped hopper 120a. Each set of cleaning assemblies consists of two units, symmetrically slidably connected to both sides of the receiving cavity 120 with the bottom opening of the funnel-shaped hopper 120a as the center. Each cleaning assembly 500 includes a slider 510 slidably connected to the bottom of the receiving cavity 120 and a turntable 520 located on top of the slider 510. The side wall of the slider 510 has a first reciprocating threaded hole 510a, through which each first reciprocating threaded rod 120b rotates and passes through the corresponding first reciprocating thread. A cleaning brush 520a is installed on the outer wall of the turntable 520, and a fourth gear 510b is installed at the bottom of the turntable 520. The fourth gear 510b is rotatably connected to the top of the slider 510. The first rack 120c meshes with the fourth gear 510b. When not shown in the figure, a top cover can be provided on the top of the funnel-shaped hopper 120a to seal the top of the funnel-shaped hopper 120a. The probes located inside the funnel-shaped hopper 120a move along the internal slope of the funnel-shaped hopper 120a to the bottom of the funnel-shaped hopper 120a. The bottommost probe falls through the bottom of the funnel-shaped hopper 120a into the receiving cavity 120 and is located above the storage cavity 130. At this time, the probe is located between the two cleaning brushes 520a, and the drive roller 120b-1 is in contact with the outer wall of the probe. When the first reciprocating threaded rod 120b rotates, it drives the drive roller 120b-1 to rotate. When the drive roller 120b-1 rotates, friction drives the probe to rotate. When the first reciprocating threaded rod 120b rotates, the screw structure pushes the slider 510 to drive the turntable 520 and the cleaning brush 520a to move back and forth inside the receiving cavity 120. When the slider 510 moves, the first rack 120c drives the fourth gear 510b and the turntable 520 to rotate. The turntable 520 drives the cleaning brush 520a to rotate. When the cleaning brush 520a rotates, it cleans the surface of the probe.

A vacuum suction tube 420a is mounted on the top of the fixing tube 420. The top end of the vacuum suction tube 420a extends into the storage cavity 120 and branches in a Y-shape. The two ends of the Y-shaped branch of the vacuum suction tube 420a are respectively connected to the side walls of two corresponding sliders 510 and face the cleaning brush 520a. A first one-way valve 420a-1 is mounted on the tube body of the vacuum suction tube 420a. An exhaust tube 420b is mounted on the side wall of the fixing tube 420. A second one-way valve 420b-1 is mounted on the tube body of the exhaust tube 420b. The wall is rotatably connected to three second gears 210c, and the three second gears 210c are coaxially and fixedly connected to three discharge rollers 210. The three second gears 210c are respectively located below three third fixed plates 410. A third gear 410b is rotatably connected to the bottom of the third fixed plate 410. A second reciprocating threaded rod 410a is rotatably connected to the top of the third fixed plate 410. A first helical gear 410a-1 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the third fixed plate 410. The second reciprocating threaded rod 410a is coaxially and fixedly connected to the first helical gear 410a-1. A fixed rod 430a is installed at the bottom of the piston 430. A second reciprocating threaded hole 430a-1 is opened at the bottom end of the fixed rod 430a, and the second reciprocating threaded rod 410a rotates into it. Inside the second reciprocating threaded hole 430a-1, each second gear 210c meshes with a corresponding third gear 410b. A second helical gear 410b-1 is installed on the side wall of the third gear 410b, and the second helical gear 410b-1 meshes with the first helical gear 410a-1. Three sets of one-way gears 120b-3 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the storage box 100. Each set of one-way gears 120b-3 consists of two gears and is symmetrically located on both sides below each fixed tube 420. One end of the first reciprocating threaded rod 120b extends out of the side wall of the storage box 100 and is equipped with a first pulley 120b-2. Each one-way gear 120b-3 is connected to the corresponding first pulley 120b-2 by a belt. The piston 430 rod is symmetrically installed. There are two one-way racks 430b, which face opposite directions and mesh with two one-way gears 120b-3 respectively. An opening 420c is located on the side wall of the fixed tube 420 near the bottom, below the exhaust pipe 420b. A 440 is installed inside the opening 420c, and a 440a is installed on the side wall of the 440, located inside the fixed tube 420. When the discharge roller 210 rotates, it drives the second gear 210c to rotate. The second gear 210c drives the third gear 410b and the second helical gear 410b-1 to rotate. When the second helical gear 410b-1 rotates, it drives the first helical gear 410a-1 and the second reciprocating threaded rod 410a to rotate.When the second reciprocating threaded rod 410a rotates, it uses the screw structure to push the fixed rod 430a and piston 430 to reciprocate inside the fixed tube 420. When the piston 430 moves downward, the first one-way valve 420a-1 opens and the second one-way valve 420b-1 closes. The other end of the suction pipe 420a draws the dust generated by the cleaning brush 520a into the fixed tube 420 through the suction pipe 420a. When the piston 430 moves upward, the first one-way valve 420a-1 closes and the second one-way valve 420b-1 opens. The dust and air inside the fixed tube 420 are discharged through the second one-way valve 420b-1, removing the dust from the cleaning process. At the same time, since the two one-way racks 430b are facing opposite directions, when the piston 430 moves upward, the one-way rack 430b on the right side drives the one-way gear 120b-3 on the right side to rotate. When the right-side one-way gear 120b-3 rotates, it drives the right-side first pulley 120b-2 and the first reciprocating threaded rod 120b to rotate via a belt, thus driving the right-side cleaning assembly 500 to move. Conversely, when the fixed tube 420 moves downward, the left-side one-way rack 430b drives the left-side one-way gear 120b-3 to rotate via a belt, which in turn drives the left-side first pulley 120b-2 and the first reciprocating threaded rod 120b to rotate, thus driving the left-side cleaning assembly 500 to move. While the suction pipe 420a draws dust into the fixed tube 420, 440a filters the dust in the air, preventing it from affecting the movement of the piston 430 inside the fixed tube 420. When cleaning is required, pulling 440a pulls 440a out through the opening 420c for cleaning.
