Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vulcanization technology, specifically a rubber-sleeved vulcanizing tank. Background Technology

[0002] A vulcanizing tank is a large pressure vessel used to apply heat, pressure, and controlled time to polymer materials such as rubber and plastics to initiate a vulcanization (crosslinking) reaction, thereby obtaining the final product properties. In the production of rubber sleeves, they are typically fitted onto a mandrel and placed inside the tank for vulcanization to achieve final shaping and obtain the desired properties.

[0003] Patent CN206663618U discloses a vulcanizing tank for vulcanizing latex gloves with a novel structural design and convenient use. It includes a tank body with an open top and a closed bottom, and a top cover that closes the top opening of the tank body. Several air inlet pipes are spaced from top to bottom on the side wall of the tank body, and these inlet pipes are connected to an external steam source via a main pipe. An annular support plate is provided at the top opening of the tank body, surrounding the inner wall of the tank body. The tank also includes a circular plate matching the inner diameter of the tank body. Several longitudinally arranged support rods are provided on the lower surface of the circular plate, and each support rod has several upwardly inclined diagonal rods. A drive motor is provided on the top cover, and a longitudinally arranged transmission shaft is provided on the output shaft of the drive motor. An insertion port with a regular prism structure is provided at the center of the circular plate, and the lower end of the transmission shaft also has a regular prism structure.

[0004] However, the above technical solutions still have the following shortcomings in practical applications: During batch vulcanization of rubber sleeves, multiple mandrels with rubber sleeves are placed together in the vulcanizing tank. To prevent the rubber sleeves from fusing or cross-linking together under high temperature and pressure, multiple inclined rods are installed inside the tank. During operation, each mandrel must be hung on a different inclined rod to isolate the mandrels and ensure that the rubber sleeves remain separate during vulcanization.

[0005] However, when the number of sleeves to be processed is large, this manual operation method, which relies on workers to manually hang the mandrels one by one, leads to a significant increase in labor intensity, thus restricting production efficiency to some extent. To solve this problem, when a robot arm is used to hang the mandrels one by one on the inclined rod instead of workers, multiple mandrels may be in a disorderly stacked state after being processed in the previous process. The robot arm needs to rely on a vision positioning device to identify the position and angle of the mandrels. If multiple mandrels are stacked in a disorderly manner, the mandrels will cover each other, which will seriously interfere with the vision recognition, causing the robot arm to fail to grasp or lose accurate posture control, thus interrupting the automatic hanging process. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, one end of the sliding column is threadedly connected to a threaded rod, both ends of the threaded rod are rotatably mounted on a support frame, and a motor is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame, with the output end of the motor fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod.

[0011] Preferably, a bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably provided at both ends on one side of the material carrier platform. The two sides of the bidirectional threaded rod are respectively threaded to the two adjustment plates on both sides. An electric actuator three is fixedly connected to one side of the rear adjustment plate. The piston end of the electric actuator three is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes a mandrel collection auxiliary component; The mandrel collecting auxiliary assembly includes two receiving boxes, each receiving box being semi-circular.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The vulcanizing tank with a rubber sleeve as described in this invention utilizes a rubber sleeve to separate the placement component and the placement auxiliary component, allowing multiple mandrels to be automatically and sequentially mounted onto an inclined rod without manual operation, thus reducing the labor intensity of workers. During the vulcanization process, because the multiple mandrels are placed separately and independently, the rubber sleeves will not stick together, ensuring the quality of vulcanization. Furthermore, compared to using a robotic arm to mount the mandrels onto the inclined rod, this method transforms the haphazardly stacked mandrels into a linear arrangement, which then slides down sequentially under gravity and is precisely mounted onto the inclined rod. This avoids the serious interference of haphazardly stacked mandrels with visual recognition, preventing gripping failures or inaccurate posture control, which could interrupt the automatic mounting process. This further ensures the smooth progress of the vulcanization work.

[0018] 2. The rubber-sleeved vulcanizing tank of the present invention utilizes an anti-jamming component. When the mandrel is located in the converging channel, the mandrel located at the channel opening can be pushed in real time by a push rod. Under the action of external force, the jammed mandrel can be unblocked and smoothly slid into the arrangement channel, further ensuring the smooth progress of the mounting work.

[0019] 3. The rubber-sleeved vulcanizing tank of the present invention utilizes a mandrel collection auxiliary component. After the vulcanization process is completed, two receiving boxes are attached to the bottom of the rotating column. Then, the inclined rod is driven to retract into the inner cavity of the rotating column. When the inclined rod is retracted to the appropriate position, the mandrel hanging on the inclined rod will fall into the receiving box due to loss of support, thus completing the collection of the mandrel. Furthermore, the operator can transfer the mandrel in the receiving box to other containers, thereby eliminating the need for the operator to manually remove the mandrel, which is more convenient and labor-saving.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-12 The present invention provides a technical solution: a rubber-sleeved vulcanizing tank, including a support frame 2, a tank body 1 fixedly connected to the upper side of the support frame 2, an air inlet pipe 7 and an exhaust pipe 8 respectively provided on both sides of the tank body 1, and a rubber sleeve separating and placing component provided on the tank body 1.

A material platform 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding column 17. Adjusting plates 14 are slidably connected to both sides of the upper surface of the material platform 5. A baffle 16 is inserted into and slidably connected to one side of the two adjusting plates 14. A fixing block 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the front adjusting plate 14.

A stop block 39 is fixedly connected to the piston end of the cylinder 37. A strip-shaped through hole is provided on one side of the front adjusting plate 14 for the stop block 36 and the stop block 39 to pass through.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5-7 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 As shown, two sliding rods 24 are fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the tank body 1. The two sliding rods 24 are slidably connected to a lifting block 26. One end of the lifting block 26 is rotatably connected to one side of the rotating cylinder 10.

[0026] One end of the lifting block 26 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 23. Both ends of the threaded rod 23 are rotatably mounted on the tank body 1. A motor 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the outer wall of the tank body 1. The output end of the motor 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 23.

[0027] One end of the sliding column 17 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 4. Both ends of the threaded rod 4 are rotatably mounted on the support frame 2. A motor 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 2. The output end of the motor 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 4.

[0028] The material loading platform 5 has a bidirectional threaded rod 12 rotatably installed at both ends on one side. The two sides of the bidirectional threaded rod 12 are respectively threaded to the two adjustment plates 14 on both sides. The rear adjustment plate 14 is fixedly connected to an electric push rod 33. The piston end of the electric push rod 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle 16. The material loading platform 5 is fixedly connected to a motor 13. The output end of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 12.

[0029] An infrared sensor 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the front adjustment plate 14, and a cylinder 38 is fixedly connected to one side of the front adjustment plate 14. The piston end of the cylinder 38 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 18.

[0030] A conveyor belt 11 is installed on one side of the loading platform 5, and a conveyor belt 2 15 is installed on one side of the adjusting plate 14.

[0031] Specifically, in existing technologies, when performing batch vulcanization of rubber sleeves, multiple mandrels with rubber sleeves are typically placed together inside tank 1. To prevent the rubber sleeves from fusing or cross-linking together under high temperature and pressure, multiple inclined rods 40 are installed inside tank 1. During operation, each mandrel must be hung on a different inclined rod 40 to achieve isolated placement of the mandrels, thereby ensuring that the rubber sleeves separate from each other during the vulcanization process.

[0032] However, when the number of sleeves to be processed is large, this manual operation method, which relies on workers to manually hang the mandrels one by one, leads to a significant increase in labor intensity, thus restricting production efficiency to some extent. To solve this problem, when a robot arm is used to hang the mandrels one by one on the inclined bar 40 instead of workers, the multiple mandrels may be in a disorderly stacked state after being processed in the previous process. The robot arm needs to rely on a vision positioning device to identify the position and angle of the mandrels. If the multiple mandrels are stacked in a disorderly manner, the mandrels will cover each other, which will seriously interfere with the vision recognition, causing the robot arm to fail to grasp or lose accurate posture control, thus interrupting the automatic hanging process.

[0033] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the working principle of this embodiment is as follows: This solution is applied to cylindrical mandrels of the same specification that are fitted with rubber sleeves within the same batch. First, the space between the two adjusting plates 14 is used as a mounting channel. The width of the mounting channel decreases from largest to smallest. For ease of description, the narrowest part of the mounting channel is called the arrangement channel, and the remaining parts are called the convergence channel. Similarly, for ease of description, the diameter of the cylinder formed by the mandrel and the rubber sleeve is called the mandrel diameter. Motor 2 13 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 12 to rotate, causing the two adjusting plates 14 to slide simultaneously in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the width of the arrangement channel to be equal to the mandrel diameter. Subsequently, electric actuator 33 drives the baffle 16 to slide on the adjusting plate 14, adjusting the distance between the bottom of the baffle 16 and the upper surface of the loading platform 5 to be equal to the mandrel diameter. Then, multiple mandrels are placed uniformly above the loading platform 5, and the conveyor belt 11 and the conveyor belt 2 15 are driven to run. Under the drive of the conveyor belt 11 and the conveyor belt 2 15, multiple mandrels converge into the arrangement channel at the same time. After the above adjustment operation, only one mandrel can pass through the channel opening at a time, and the length direction of the mandrel needs to be in the same direction as the conveying direction. Multiple mandrels will move continuously due to the friction of the conveyor belt 11 and the conveyor belt 2 15, and adjust their posture in real time until they enter the arrangement channel. The mandrels in the arrangement channel will be arranged linearly, and the mandrel at the end of the arrangement channel will be blocked by the stop block 36. Then, according to the length of the mandrel, the cylinder 3 38 drives the slider 18 to slide on the adjusting plate 14, and adjusts the stop block 2 39 so that its end is directly opposite the other mandrel blocked by the stop block 36, and is blocked by the cylinder 2 37. Then, the top cover of tank 1 is opened, and the threaded rod 23 is rotated by motor 4 25, causing the lifting block 26 to rise. The rotating cylinder 10 slides at the bottom of tank 1, so that a row of inclined rods 40 are aligned with the mandrels blocked in the arrangement channel in turn. When an inclined rod 40 is aligned with the mandrel, cylinder 1 35 drives the stop block 1 36 to move, so that the stop block 1 36 no longer blocks the mandrel. Then the mandrel will slide down under the action of gravity and hang on the inclined rod 40. The mandrel blocked by the stop block 2 39 will not slide down. Then, stop block 36 resets and continues to drive the rotating column 6 upward. Subsequently, cylinder 2 37 drives stop block 2 39 away from the spindle, and the spindle slides back to stop block 36. When infrared sensor 34 detects the spindle, stop block 2 39 blocks the subsequent spindle. At the same time, stop block 36 releases the spindle again, and the spindle will be hung on the inclined rod 40 again. Thus, under the alternating release of the spindle by stop block 36 and stop block 2 39, multiple spindles are sequentially hung on different inclined rods 40. After a row of inclined rods 40 is hung, motor 5 27 drives gear 1 28 to rotate. Under the transmission cooperation of gear 1 28 and gear 2 29, the rotating cylinder 10 rotates, so that another row of inclined rods 40 sequentially faces the arrangement channel. After all the mandrels are mounted on the inclined rod 40, the rotating column 6 is reset to the lowest side. The motor 3 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate, causing the sliding column 17 to move laterally and move the loading platform 5 away from the top of the tank 1, so that the top cover can be closed.

[0034] Steam is then introduced into the tank 1 through the air inlet pipe 7 to vulcanize the rubber sleeves. During vulcanization, because the multiple mandrels are placed separately and independently, the rubber sleeves do not stick together, ensuring the quality of vulcanization. Furthermore, the entire mounting process requires no manual operation, reducing the labor intensity of workers. In addition, compared to using a robotic arm to mount the inclined rod 40, this method transforms the haphazardly stacked mandrels into a linear arrangement, allowing them to slide along a preset trajectory towards the inclined rod 40 under gravity, thus achieving the mounting work. This avoids the serious interference of haphazardly stacked mandrels with visual recognition, which could lead to gripping failures or inaccurate posture control, causing the automatic mounting process to be interrupted. This further ensures the smooth progress of the vulcanization work.

[0035] After the vulcanization time is reached, the steam supply is cut off, and the gas is discharged through exhaust pipe 8, allowing the temperature and pressure inside the tank to slowly and steadily drop to a safe range. Once the pressure is confirmed to be zero, the top cover is opened. At this point, the rubber sleeve on the mandrel has been vulcanized into a hard rubber product, and then the contents can be collected sequentially.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 11 As shown, it also includes anti-jamming components; The anti-jamming component includes a push rod 20 that slides through one side of the adjusting plate 14. One end of the push rod 20 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 21. Both ends of the threaded rod 21 are rotatably mounted on the adjusting plate 14. A motor 3 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting plate 14. The output end of the motor 3 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 21.

[0037] Specifically, in the above embodiments, although the mandrel can be driven into the arrangement channel by the cooperation of conveyor belt 11 and conveyor belt 2 15, when the mandrel gets stuck at the channel opening due to abutment, friction alone may not be able to effectively clear the blockage, resulting in the interruption of the mandrel mounting operation.

[0038] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the mandrel is in the converging channel, the motors 22 on both sides drive the threaded rod 21 to rotate, causing the push rod 20 to slide back and forth on the adjusting plate 14. The push rod 20 pushes the mandrel located at the channel opening in real time, which can clear the stuck mandrel under the action of external force, allowing it to slide smoothly into the arrangement channel, further ensuring the smooth progress of the mounting work.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a mandrel collection auxiliary assembly; The mandrel collection auxiliary assembly includes two receiving boxes 9, which are semi-circular. A row of inclined rods 40 are fixed to the ends of a connecting plate 41. A connecting rod 42 is rotatably mounted on one side of the lower end of the connecting plate 41. A transmission rod 31 is slidably connected to the bottom of the rotating column 6. The ends of multiple connecting rods 42 are rotatably mounted on the transmission rod 31. The transmission rod 31 is slidably connected to the bottom of the rotating cylinder 10.

[0040] A connecting block 32 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the transmission rod 31, and an electric push rod 30 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 10. The piston end of the electric push rod 30 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 32.

[0041] Specifically, in the above embodiments, although multiple mandrels can be automatically mounted on the inclined rod 40, after the vulcanization process is completed, the mandrels still need to be manually removed from the inclined rod 40 one by one, which is quite troublesome.

[0042] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the working principle of this embodiment is as follows: After vulcanization is complete, the top cover is opened, causing the rotating column 6 to rise to a suitable height. Then, the two receiving boxes 9 are placed against the bottom of the rotating column 6, surrounding it. The electric actuator 30 then lowers the connecting block 32, causing the transmission rod 31 to slide on the rotating cylinder 10 and the rotating column 6. The connecting rod 42 moves multiple connecting plates 41 simultaneously, causing the inclined rod 40 to retract into the inner cavity of the rotating column 6, maintaining constant contact with the column. When the inclined rod 40 retracts to the appropriate position, the mandrel hanging on it will fall into the receiving box 9 due to loss of support, thus completing the collection of the mandrel. The operator can then transfer the mandrel from the receiving box 9 to another container, eliminating the need for manual removal and making the process more convenient and labor-saving.

[0043] Working principle: First, the space between the two adjusting plates 14 is used as a mounting channel. The width of the mounting channel decreases from large to small. For ease of description, the narrowest part of the mounting channel is called the arrangement channel, and the rest is called the convergence channel. Similarly, for ease of description, the diameter of the cylinder formed by the mandrel and the rubber sleeve is called the mandrel diameter. The motor 13 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 12 to rotate, causing the two adjusting plates 14 to slide simultaneously in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the width of the arrangement channel to be equal to the diameter of the mandrel. Then, the electric actuator 33 drives the baffle 16 to slide on the adjusting plate 14, adjusting the distance between the bottom of the baffle 16 and the upper surface of the loading platform 5 to be equal to the diameter of the mandrel. Then, multiple mandrels are placed uniformly above the loading platform 5, and the conveyor belt 11 and the conveyor belt 2 15 are driven to run. Under the drive of the conveyor belt 11 and the conveyor belt 2 15, multiple mandrels converge into the arrangement channel at the same time. After the above adjustment operation, only one mandrel can pass through the channel opening at a time, and the length direction of the mandrel needs to be in the same direction as the conveying direction. Multiple mandrels will move continuously due to the friction of the conveyor belt 11 and the conveyor belt 2 15, and adjust their posture in real time until they enter the arrangement channel. The mandrels in the arrangement channel will be arranged linearly, and the mandrel at the end of the arrangement channel will be blocked by the stop block 36. Then, according to the length of the mandrel, the cylinder 3 38 drives the slider 18 to slide on the adjusting plate 14, and adjusts the stop block 2 39 so that its end is directly opposite the other mandrel blocked by the stop block 36, and is blocked by the cylinder 2 37. Then, the top cover of tank 1 is opened, and the threaded rod 23 is rotated by motor 4 25, causing the lifting block 26 to rise. The rotating cylinder 10 slides at the bottom of tank 1, so that a row of inclined rods 40 are aligned with the mandrels blocked in the arrangement channel in turn. When an inclined rod 40 is aligned with the mandrel, cylinder 1 35 drives the stop block 1 36 to move, so that the stop block 1 36 no longer blocks the mandrel. Then the mandrel will slide down under the action of gravity and hang on the inclined rod 40. The mandrel blocked by the stop block 2 39 will not slide down. Then, stop block 36 resets and continues to drive the rotating column 6 upward. Subsequently, cylinder 2 37 drives stop block 2 39 away from the spindle, and the spindle slides back to stop block 36. When infrared sensor 34 detects the spindle, stop block 2 39 blocks the subsequent spindle. At the same time, stop block 36 releases the spindle again, and the spindle will be hung on the inclined rod 40 again. Thus, under the alternating release of the spindle by stop block 36 and stop block 2 39, multiple spindles are sequentially hung on different inclined rods 40. After a row of inclined rods 40 is hung, motor 5 27 drives gear 1 28 to rotate. Under the transmission cooperation of gear 1 28 and gear 2 29, the rotating cylinder 10 rotates, so that another row of inclined rods 40 sequentially faces the arrangement channel. After all the mandrels are mounted on the inclined rod 40, the rotating column 6 is reset to the lowest side. The motor 3 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate, causing the sliding column 17 to move laterally and move the loading platform 5 away from the top of the tank 1, so that the top cover can be closed.Steam is then introduced into the tank 1 through the air inlet pipe 7 to vulcanize the rubber sleeves. During vulcanization, because the multiple mandrels are placed separately and independently, the rubber sleeves do not stick together, ensuring the quality of vulcanization. Furthermore, the entire mounting process requires no manual operation, reducing the labor intensity of workers. Compared to using a robotic arm to mount the inclined rod 40, this method transforms the haphazardly stacked mandrels into a linear arrangement, allowing them to slide along a preset trajectory towards the inclined rod 40 under gravity, thus achieving the mounting work. This avoids the serious interference of haphazardly stacked mandrels with visual recognition, which could lead to gripping failures or inaccurate posture control, causing the automatic mounting process to be interrupted. This further ensures the smooth progress of the vulcanization work. After the vulcanization time is reached, the steam supply is cut off, and gas is discharged through the exhaust pipe 8, allowing the temperature and pressure inside the tank to slowly and steadily drop to a safe range. After confirming that the pressure has reached zero, the top cover is opened. At this point, the rubber sleeves on the mandrels have vulcanized into hard rubber products, which can then be collected sequentially. When the mandrel is in the converging channel, the motors 22 on both sides drive the threaded rod 21 to rotate, causing the push rod 20 to slide back and forth on the adjusting plate 14. The push rod 20 pushes the mandrel located at the channel opening in real time, thus clearing the jammed mandrel under the action of external force, allowing it to slide smoothly into the arrangement channel, further ensuring the smooth progress of the mounting work. After the vulcanization work is completed, the top cover is opened, and the rotating column 6 is driven to rise to a suitable height. Then, the two receiving boxes 9 are attached to the bottom of the rotating column 6, and the two receiving boxes 9 surround the bottom of the rotating column 6. Then, the electric push rod 30 drives the connecting block 32 to descend, causing the transmission rod 31 to slide on the rotating cylinder 10 and the rotating column 6. The connecting rod 42 causes multiple connecting plates 41 to move simultaneously, causing the inclined rod 40 to retract into the inner cavity of the rotating column 6, and the inclined rod 40 is always in contact with the rotating column 6. When the inclined rod 40 is retracted to the appropriate position, the mandrel hanging on the inclined rod 40 will fall into the receiving box 9 due to loss of support, thus completing the collection of the mandrel. The operator can then transfer the mandrel in the receiving box 9 to other containers, thereby eliminating the need for the operator to manually remove the mandrel, which is more convenient and labor-saving.
