Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building material production equipment technology, specifically to a vertical filling device and method for filling the internal cavity of composite thermal insulation blocks with fillable materials. Background Technology

[0002] Composite blocks typically have internal cavities that need to be filled with specific lightweight materials during the production process to achieve functions such as heat insulation and sound insulation. Existing block filling devices mostly adopt a horizontal filling method, that is, the filling box is arranged horizontally, and the filler is pushed or flowed into the block cavity by push rods or gravity.

[0003] This horizontal filling method has the following drawbacks:

[0004] Poor filling quality: Horizontal pushing can easily cause segregation of filling material during the conveying process (separation of materials of different particle sizes), affecting the uniformity of filling; at the same time, it can also easily cause material blockage or leakage at the outlet.

[0005] Limited applicability: For complex structural blocks with multiple independent filling cavities, the horizontal method is difficult to achieve synchronous and precise alignment and filling of all cavities, which can easily lead to misalignment or incomplete filling.

[0006] Large site occupation: Horizontal conveying and filling layouts require a long straight space.

[0007] The equipment and components are numerous: horizontal filling requires fixing the blocks to the sides and top, necessitating more cylinders and corresponding support plates for positioning and constraint.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a filling device that can achieve efficient, high-quality, multi-station synchronous filling and has a compact layout. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by this invention:

[0010] To address the problems of easy segregation, poor filling effect on multi-cavity blocks, and large footprint in existing horizontal filling devices, the primary objective of this invention is to provide a vertical filling device for composite block filling materials. This device aims to achieve batch, synchronous, vertical pressure filling of multiple blocks, improving production efficiency and filling quality, and optimizing equipment space layout.

[0011] Another objective of this invention is to provide a vertical filling method based on the above-mentioned device to achieve automated, continuous, and efficient production.

[0012] The technical solution of this invention:

[0013] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0014] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a vertical filling device for composite block fillable materials.

[0015] A vertical filling device for composite block filling material includes a filling box, characterized in that: the outlet of the filling box is vertically connected to a vertical pressing box, the vertical pressing box being disposed between the block feeding conveyor line and the discharging conveyor line; the vertical pressing box is square, and its interior is divided by partitions to form multiple individual pressing chambers corresponding to the filling cavities of the composite block, each pressing chamber containing a pressing body that can move up and down; a top support plate is fixed to the top of the vertical pressing box, and each pressing body is driven and connected to the piston rod of a cylinder installed above the top support plate; insertable plates are respectively provided at the bottom opening of the vertical pressing box and at its side opening communicating with the filling box;

[0016] The end of the feeding conveyor line is provided with a baffle for positioning the blocks, and the side of the baffle is provided with a push plate that can push multiple blocks against the baffle laterally to the bottom of the vertical pressing box.

[0017] A lifting plate is provided directly below the vertical pressing box to receive the blocks pushed by the push plate and to drive the blocks up and down.

[0018] Furthermore, when the lifting pallet descends to its lowest position, its supporting upper surface is flush with the conveying plane of the feeding conveyor line and the discharging conveyor line to facilitate the entry and exit of blocks.

[0019] Furthermore, when the lifting pallet rises to its highest position, the top opening of the block it supports is tightly connected with the bottom opening of the vertical pressure box, forming a sealed filling channel.

[0020] More specifically, the bottom of the vertical pressing box is provided with a sealing strip that is in close contact with the perimeter of the opening at the top of the block.

[0021] Furthermore, the insert plate consists of multiple pieces, each independently inserted into the bottom opening of each of the pressing chambers and its side opening communicating with the filling box.

[0022] Furthermore, the pushing stroke of the pusher plate is adapted to the width of the lifting tray, so that the block can be accurately pushed to the center area of ​​the lifting tray.

[0023] Secondly, the present invention provides a vertical filling method for filling composite blocks with fillable materials.

[0024] A vertical filling method for filling composite blocks with fillable materials, the key of which lies in the filling using the aforementioned vertical filling device, including the following steps:

[0025] S1, Feeding and Positioning: The blocks are conveyed by the feeding conveyor line until their ends abut against the end baffle, achieving longitudinal positioning;

[0026] S2, Transfer: The pusher action pushes the already arranged row of blocks laterally onto the lifting pallet located between the feeding conveyor line and the discharging conveyor line; at this time, the lifting pallet is at its lowest position, and its surface is flush with the plane of the conveyor line.

[0027] S3, Lifting and Connecting: After the push plate retracts, the lifting tray moves upward under the drive of the drive device; when it rises to the highest position, the filling opening at the top of the block is precisely aligned and tightly fitted with the opening at the bottom of the vertical pressure box;

[0028] S4, Filling Operation: First, pull out the insert plate between the side of the vertical pressure box and the filling box to allow the filling material in the filling box to enter each pressure chamber; then, the side insert plate returns to its original position to isolate the material feeding; next, all the cylinders on the upper part of the vertical pressure box operate synchronously, driving the pressure body to move downwards, forcefully pressing the material in the pressure chamber into the corresponding cavity of the block below; after filling is completed, the pressure body rises back;

[0029] S5, Discharge: Close the insert plate at the bottom of the vertical pressure box, and then lower the lifting pallet; when its surface is flush with the conveyor line again, the push plate moves again to push in a new batch of blocks, and at the same time pushes the filled blocks to the discharge conveyor line to complete one work cycle.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] 1. High efficiency and mass production: Through the vertical pressing box and its multiple independent pressing chambers, combined with the push plate and lifting tray, multiple blocks can be filled at the same time, which greatly improves production efficiency and is very suitable for large-scale assembly line operations.

[0033] 2. High filling quality, preventing segregation and spillage: The vertical pressing method allows the filling material to be pre-compressed by gravity. When the press body is pressed down, it can be pressed evenly and densely into the block cavity, effectively preventing material segregation. The side and bottom insert plates effectively prevent material spillage.

[0034] 3. Compact layout and high space utilization: The vertical pressure box is arranged vertically between the inlet and outlet conveyor lines, forming a compact layout that significantly reduces the floor space occupied by the equipment.

[0035] 4. Precise positioning and high degree of automation: Through the coordinated action of baffles, push plates and lifting trays, the entire process of block feeding, positioning, transfer, lifting and docking and finishing is fully automated, ensuring the reliability and consistency of the filling process.

[0036] 5. A novel and efficient filling method is provided: This method organically integrates the functions of each component of the device to form a continuous and efficient automated process, fundamentally overcoming the drawbacks of the traditional horizontal filling method.

[0045] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the core of the vertical filling device of the present invention lies in the vertical pressing box 2 and its coordinated operation with the automated conveying and positioning system.

[0047] The filling box 1 is used to store lightweight materials to be filled. Its side outlet is directly connected to the side inlet of the vertical pressing box 2. The interior of the vertical pressing box 2 is divided into multiple parallel pressing chambers by partitions. The number and arrangement of these chambers match the cavity pattern of the blocks 10 to be filled. Each pressing chamber is equipped with a pressing body 4. The upper ends of all pressing bodies 4 are fixed to the piston rods of the corresponding cylinders 6. The cylinders 6 are uniformly mounted on a sturdy top support plate 5. The side and bottom of the vertical pressing box 2 where it connects to the filling box 1 are equipped with removable insert plates 3 to control the flow of filling material.

[0048] The bottom of the vertical pressing box 2 is provided with a sealing strip that is in close contact with the top opening of the block 10, so as to facilitate the automatic formation of a sealed filling channel.

[0049] The working process of the device of the present invention, i.e. the vertical filling method, is as follows:

[0050] S1, Feeding and Positioning: The hollow block 10 is conveyed by the feeding conveyor line 7 until its end abuts against the end baffle 9, achieving precise longitudinal positioning.

[0051] S2, Transfer: The push plate 11 located on the side of the feeding conveyor line 7 moves to push the neatly arranged row of blocks 10 laterally onto the lifting pallet 12 located between the feeding conveyor line 7 and the discharging conveyor line 8. At this time, the lifting pallet 12 is in its lowest position, and its upper surface is flush with the conveying plane of the feeding conveyor line 7 and the discharging conveyor line 8, ensuring that the blocks can be transferred smoothly and without obstruction.

[0052] S3, Lifting and Connecting: Push plate 11 retracts to its original position. Subsequently, lifting pallet 12 moves upward under the drive of a driving device (such as a hydraulic cylinder, electric push rod, etc.). When it rises to the highest position, the filling opening at the top of block 10 is precisely aligned and tightly fitted with the opening at the bottom of vertical pressure box 2, forming a sealed filling channel. To maintain the integrity of the block, driving devices (such as hydraulic cylinders, electric push rods, etc.) can also be installed on both sides of the block to align the block assembly with the bottom of vertical pressure box 2. Alternatively, a baffle can be installed on one side and a cylinder push rod on the other side.

[0053] S4, Filling task:

[0054] First, the control system drives the cylinder (or other power source) to pull out the insert plate 3 on the side of the vertical pressing box 2. The filling material in the filling box 1 enters each pressing chamber under the action of the auxiliary propulsion device (such as an electric cylinder).

[0055] Then, the side insert 3 returns to its original position, isolating the filling box 1 from the vertical pressing box 2, and stops feeding.

[0056] Next, all cylinders 6 operate synchronously, driving the pressing body 4 to move downwards, forcefully and evenly pressing the filling material in the pressing chamber into the cavity corresponding to the block 10 below.

[0057] After filling is completed, the pressing body 4 rises back to its initial position under the drive of the cylinder 6.

[0058] S5, Output:

[0059] The insert plate 3 at the bottom of the vertical pressure box 2 is inserted into place to ensure that the filling material is sealed inside the vertical pressure box 2 and does not fall out.

[0060] The lifting pallet 12 carries the filled blocks 10 down to the lowest position, level with the discharge conveyor line 8.

[0061] At this time, the pusher plate 11 moves again, pushing a new batch of blocks 10 on the feeding conveyor line 7 onto the lifting pallet 12. At the same time, this thrust will push the blocks 10 that have been filled on the lifting pallet 12 onto the discharge conveyor line 8.

[0062] The material discharge conveyor line 8 starts, transferring the finished block 10 to the next work station, thus completing a complete work cycle.

[0063] By independently controlling the insert plate 3 of each pressing chamber, more flexible filling control can be achieved, such as replenishing material to individual chambers or isolating them for maintenance.

[0064] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
