Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ceramic carrier processing technology, specifically a honeycomb ceramic carrier drying device with a short-range safe transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] Honeycomb ceramic carriers are porous ceramic products with countless parallel channels and a honeycomb-like shape. Their most well-known application is in automotive exhaust purifiers (three-way catalytic converters), which are coated with catalysts to convert harmful gases emitted by the engine into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen.

[0003] Typically, the processing of honeycomb ceramic carriers requires drying, which involves a roller conveyor and a drying chamber above it to dry the passing honeycomb ceramic carriers. After molding, the honeycomb ceramic carriers need to be manually transported onto the roller conveyor of the drying equipment. Due to the special nature of the material of the molded ceramic carriers, they must be handled with care, resulting in low feeding efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a honeycomb ceramic carrier drying device with a short-range safe transfer device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention provides a honeycomb ceramic carrier drying device with a short-range safety transfer device, which solves the problem of low efficiency of the ceramic carrier during transfer after molding.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a honeycomb ceramic carrier drying device with a short-range safety transfer device, comprising a drying mechanism, a conveyor frame, a receiving roller end, a support, and a cylindrical component. The conveyor frame is provided with a feeding end, and both the receiving roller end and the support are grid-shaped, with the same end of each grid being a free end. The device further comprises: a swing arm assembly, which is rotatably mounted on the cylindrical component; a drive mechanism, which is mounted on the cylindrical component for driving the swing arm assembly to rotate; and a grid lifting component, which is hinged to the swing arm assembly for transferring the material on the feeding end to the receiving roller end, and the grid lifting component can always remain horizontal due to the restriction of the swing arm assembly. When the lifting grid component rotates, the grid portion on it is misaligned with the feeding end and the receiving roller end.

[0007] Preferably, the swing arm assembly includes a cylindrical frame sleeved on the outside of the cylindrical component. Three sets of arms are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the cylindrical frame in a circular array. Several meshing gears are equidistantly rotatably connected to the arms. An external gear ring is fixedly connected to one side of the drive mechanism. The gears near the external gear ring mesh with the external gear ring. A reduction gearbox is fixedly connected to the arms. The gears near the reduction gearbox can be driven to the input end of the reduction gearbox. The output end of the reduction gearbox is driven to the shaft part of the lifting grid component. The gear ratio of the external gear ring and the gear is the same as the reduction ratio of the gearbox, and the rotation direction of the output end of the gearbox is opposite to the rotation direction of the column frame.

[0008] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a motor fixed to one side of the cylindrical member, the output shaft of the motor can extend to the other side of the cylindrical member and is fixed to an internal gear ring, a plurality of planetary gears that can mesh with the internal gear ring are rotatably connected in an annular array on one side of the cylindrical member, and a sun gear that can mesh with the planetary gears is rotatably connected to one side of the cylindrical member. The planetary gears can only rotate on their own axis, and the arm is fixedly connected to one side of the column frame.

[0009] Preferably, the lifting grid component includes a boom that is drivenly connected to the output end of the gearbox, with columnar members fixed at equal intervals on one side of the boom located at the axis, and the other part of the boom located at the axis being a counterweight. When the boom moves, it can cause the columnar component to be misaligned at the same height as the receiving roller end and the feeding end.

[0010] Preferably, an auxiliary counterweight is bolted to the side of the boom away from the cylindrical component.

[0011] Preferably, the conveyor frame is also provided with an intermittent material blocking component for blocking the material from moving forward to the feeding end. After the lifting grid component lifts the material on the feeding end, the intermittent material blocking component can intermittently release the obstruction of the material in the horizontal direction.

[0012] Preferably, the intermittent material blocking assembly includes a spring combination rod elastically connected to the edge of the conveyor frame, a baffle plate located below the conveyor frame is fixed to the bottom of the spring combination rod, and a bent rod located above the spring combination rod is hinged above one edge of the conveyor frame. One end of the bent rod is located at the top of the spring combination rod, and the other end is inclined and overlaps with the lifting grid member in the vertical direction. A set of protrusions is fixed to the partition plate; The spring combination rod initially tends to move upward due to its own elastic force. When the bending rod rotates around its axis, it can squeeze the spring combination rod and drive the baffle plate downward.

[0013] Preferably, a stop bar is also fixedly connected to the conveyor frame, located above and abutting against the short side of the bending rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The above solution uses a conveyor frame to transport materials to the feeding end. The drive mechanism drives the swing arm assembly to rotate. When the column frame rotates, it drives the arm body and the lifting grid to rotate. During this process, the gear meshing with the external gear ring also rotates, thereby driving several adjacent gears to rotate and driving the arm to rotate in the opposite direction through the reduction gearbox. This ensures that the arm always remains horizontal and lifts the material. When the column passes through the receiving roller end, the material on the column is left on the receiving roller end and conveyed to the drying mechanism, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of feeding. The above solution lifts the material at the feeding end by lifting the grid component, and as it continues to move upward, it compresses the bending rod to rotate. This causes the short side of the bending rod to compress the spring combination rod downward, which in turn pushes the baffle and the protrusion downward. At this time, the protrusion releases its obstruction of the material on the conveyor frame, and the material can be quickly transferred to the feeding end for storage through the conveyor frame. When the boom passes the bending rod, it will reset the bending rod, thereby blocking the material on the next set of conveyor frames. This avoids the situation where the next set of material collides with the columnar component when the grid component lifts the material at the feeding end. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides a honeycomb ceramic carrier drying device with a short-range safety transfer device, including a drying mechanism 1, a conveyor frame 2, a receiving roller end 11, a support 12, and a cylindrical component 13. The conveyor frame 2 is provided with a feeding end 21. The receiving roller end 11 and the support 12 are both grid-shaped, and the same end of each grid is a free end. The device also includes: a swing arm assembly 4, which is rotatably mounted on the cylindrical component 13; a drive mechanism 3, which is mounted on the cylindrical component 13 for driving the swing arm assembly 4 to rotate; and a lifting grid component 5, which is hinged to the swing arm assembly 4 for transferring the material on the feeding end 21 to the receiving roller end 11. The lifting grid component 5 can always be kept horizontal due to the restriction of the swing arm assembly 4. When the lifting grid component 5 rotates, the grid portion on it is misaligned with the feeding end 21 and the receiving roller end 11. The swing arm assembly 4 includes a columnar frame 41 sleeved on the outside of the cylindrical member 13. Three sets of arm bodies 42 are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the columnar frame 41 in a ring array. Several meshing gears 44 are equidistantly rotatably connected to the arm bodies 42. An external gear ring 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the drive mechanism 3. The gears 44 close to the external gear ring 43 mesh with the external gear ring 43. A reduction gearbox 45 is fixedly connected to the arm body 42. The gears 44 close to the reduction gearbox 45 can be driven to the input end of the reduction gearbox 45. The output end of the reduction gearbox 45 is driven to the shaft part of the lifting grid member 5. The gear ratio of the external gear ring 43 and the gear 44 is the same as the reduction ratio of the gearbox 45, and the rotation direction of the output end of the gearbox 45 is opposite to the rotation direction of the column frame 41. The lifting grid component 5 includes a boom 51 that is drivenly connected to the output end of the gearbox 45. A columnar component 52 is equidistantly fixed to a portion of the boom 51 located on one side of the shaft, and a counterweight 53 is located on the other side of the boom 51 located on the shaft. When the boom 51 moves, it can drive the column 52 to be misaligned at the same height with the receiving roller end 11 and the feeding end 21 respectively; Using the above scheme, the material is conveyed to the feeding end 21 by the conveyor frame 2, and the drive mechanism 3 drives the swing arm assembly 4 to rotate. When the column frame 41 rotates, it will drive the arm body 42 and the lifting grid 5 to rotate. During this process, the gear 44 meshing with the external gear ring 43 will also rotate, thereby driving several adjacent gears 44 to rotate and driving the arm 51 to rotate in the opposite direction through the reduction gearbox 45. This ensures that the arm 51 always remains in a horizontal state and lifts the material. When the column 52 passes through the receiving roller end 11, the material on the column 52 will be left on the receiving roller end 11 and conveyed to the drying mechanism 1, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of feeding.

[0019] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the drive mechanism 3 includes a motor 31 fixed to one side of the cylindrical member 13. The output shaft of the motor 31 can extend to the other side of the cylindrical member 13 and is fixed to an internal gear ring 34. A number of planetary gears 33 that can mesh with the internal gear ring 34 are rotatably connected to a ring array on one side of the cylindrical member 13. A sun gear 32 that can mesh with the planetary gears 33 is rotatably connected to one side of the cylindrical member 13. The planetary gear 33 can only rotate on its own axis, and the arm 42 is fixedly connected to one side of the column frame 41; Using the above scheme, the motor 31 drives the internal gear ring 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the planetary gear 33 to rotate, and finally drives the sun gear 32 to rotate and drive the column frame 41 to rotate. At this time, the motor 31 can play a good transmission role and provide stable torque to the column frame 41.

[0020] like Figures 4-6 As shown, an auxiliary counterweight 531 is bolted to the side of the boom 51 away from the cylindrical member 13; By adopting the above scheme, the auxiliary counterweight 531 can protect the columnar member 52 and the reduction gearbox 45, thereby reducing the excessive torque that the lifting grid member 5 bears when lifting materials.

[0021] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the conveyor frame 2 is also equipped with an intermittent material blocking component 6 for blocking the material from moving forward to the feeding end 21. After the lifting grid component 5 lifts the material on the feeding end 21, the intermittent material blocking component 6 can intermittently release the obstruction of the material in the horizontal direction. The intermittent material blocking assembly 6 includes a spring combination rod 61 elastically connected to the edge of the conveyor frame 2. A baffle plate 62 located below the conveyor frame 2 is fixed to the bottom of the spring combination rod 61. A bending rod 63 located above the spring combination rod 61 is hinged above one side edge of the conveyor frame 2. One end of the bending rod 63 is located at the top of the spring combination rod 61, and the other end is inclined and overlaps with the lifting grid member 5 in the vertical direction. A set of protrusions 621 are fixedly connected to the baffle plate 62; the spring combination rod 61 initially tends to move upward under the action of its own elastic force, and when the bending rod 63 rotates around the axis, it can squeeze the spring combination rod 61 and drive the baffle plate 62 downward. A stop bar 631 is also fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 2, located above and abutting against the short side of the bending rod 63. At this time, the stop bar 631 can prevent the bending rod 63 from rotating excessively and failing to return to its original position during rotation or during the return and springback process, thereby ensuring the stability of the device. Using the above scheme, after the lifting grid member 5 lifts the material on the feeding end 21 and continues to move upward, it will compress the bending rod 63 to rotate, thereby causing the short side of the bending rod 63 to compress the spring combination rod 61 to move downward, which in turn pushes the baffle plate 62 and the protrusion 621 downward. At this time, the protrusion 621 will release the obstruction of the material on the conveyor frame 2, and the material can be quickly transferred to the feeding end 21 for storage through the conveyor frame 2. When the boom 51 passes the bending rod 63, it will cause the bending rod 63 to return to its original position, thereby blocking the material on the next set of conveyor frames 2, thus avoiding the situation where the next set of material will collide with the columnar member 52 when the lifting grid member 5 lifts the material on the feeding end 21.

[0022] Working principle and usage process of this invention: First, the material is conveyed to the feeding end 21 through the conveyor frame 2. The driving mechanism 3 drives the swing arm assembly 4 to rotate. When the column frame 41 rotates, it will drive the arm body 42 and the lifting grid 5 to rotate. During this process, the gear 44 meshing with the external gear ring 43 will also rotate, thereby driving several adjacent gears 44 to rotate and driving the arm 51 to rotate in the opposite direction through the reduction gearbox 45. This ensures that the arm 51 always remains horizontal and lifts the material. When the column 52 passes through the receiving roller end 11, the material on the column 52 will be left on the receiving roller end 11 and conveyed to the drying mechanism 1, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of feeding. After the lifting grid member 5 lifts the material on the feeding end 21 and continues to move upward, it will compress the bending rod 63 to rotate, thereby causing the short side of the bending rod 63 to compress the spring combination rod 61 downward, which in turn pushes the baffle plate 62 and the protrusion 621 downward. At this time, the protrusion 621 will release the obstruction of the material on the conveyor frame 2, and the material can be quickly transferred to the feeding end 21 for storage through the conveyor frame 2. When the boom 51 passes the bending rod 63, it will cause the bending rod 63 to return to its original position, thereby blocking the material on the next set of conveyor frames 2, and avoiding the situation where the next set of material will collide with the column member 52 when the lifting grid member 5 lifts the material on the feeding end 21.
