Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automation equipment technology, and specifically relates to an automatic degreasing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In biological sample processing, histological testing, or specific chemical extraction processes, degreasing is a key step in sample pretreatment. A common degreasing process involves pre-filling a reaction flask with cotton as an adsorption medium and adding alcohol as a base solvent. Then, a degreasing solution is injected to react with the alcohol / cotton system, thereby achieving deep degreasing and purification of the sample or mixture.

[0003] In existing technologies, the above-mentioned degreasing process basically relies on manual step-by-step operation: workers need to manually place cotton inside the reaction bottle, add alcohol for preliminary wiping to remove oil, then manually add degreasing solution into the reaction bottle, let it stand to complete the chemical reaction degreasing, and finally manually seal and transfer the bottle to a different work station. The entire operation process is cumbersome and highly dependent on manual operation, which can only achieve single-piece intermittent processing and cannot carry out batch continuous production. The processing efficiency is extremely low and cannot meet the needs of industrial batch degreasing processing.

[0004] Meanwhile, in existing degreasing equipment, the drum needs to rotate or vibrate the reaction bottle during the degreasing reaction process to ensure that the degreasing solution comes into full contact with the alcohol and cotton inside the bottle. Because cotton has the characteristics of absorbing water and expanding and elastic recovery, the center of gravity of the substances inside the bottle is prone to change when rotating or vibrating at high speed, generating a large centrifugal force or inertial force. Existing spring clamps or simple buckle structures are difficult to resist this dynamic stress, which can easily cause the reaction bottle to loosen, tilt, or even be thrown out of the drum, resulting in serious equipment damage and experimental accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing an automatic degreasing machine with a simple process, high degree of automation, and high dynamic stability.

[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic degreasing machine is proposed, comprising: a machine base; A roller is rotatably mounted on the machine base, and the roller has an array of receiving cavities for accommodating reaction flasks; A transfer mechanism is provided on the machine base and located above the roller.

[0011] In the above-mentioned automatic degreasing machine, the bottle pressing plate includes a squeezing plate and a buffer plate. A fixed column and a buffer spring are installed on the squeezing plate. The buffer spring is sleeved on the fixed column and connected to the buffer plate. A guide hole is opened on the buffer plate, and the fixed column is inserted into the guide hole.

[0012] The aforementioned automatic degreasing machine also includes: A heating tube is disposed on the side wall of the drum and extends into the inside of the drum. The heating tube is used to heat the inner cavity of the drum so that the reaction flask located in the receiving cavity maintains a constant temperature. The circulating water pipes are connected to both the side wall of the drum and the outer wall of the extension cylinder, and both circulating water pipes are connected to the inner cavity of the drum and the external cooling water circulation device. A gas-liquid slip ring is disposed at the end of the extension cylinder.

[0013] In the aforementioned automatic degreasing machine, the transfer mechanism further includes: A movable slide table is equipped with a drive motor and a slider. A slide rail and a rack are mounted in parallel on the machine table. The output end of the drive motor is connected to a drive gear, which meshes with the rack to drive the slider to slide back and forth along the length of the slide rail. A driving component and a support plate are provided. The driving component is mounted on the movable slide, and the output end of the driving component is connected to the support plate. The lifting cylinder is mounted on the support plate, and the support plate is provided with a limiting post. The movable slide is provided with a limiting sleeve, and the limiting post is movably inserted into the limiting sleeve. A telescopic cylinder and a pneumatic finger are provided. The telescopic cylinder is mounted on the support plate, and the pneumatic finger is connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder to achieve the clamping and release of the bottle pressing plate.

[0014] In the aforementioned automatic degreasing machine, the capping mechanism includes: A clamping cylinder and a clamping arm are provided. The clamping cylinder is disposed on the support plate, and the clamping arm is symmetrically connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder. A clamping groove is formed in the clamping arm, and the clamping groove is used to clamp the body of the reaction flask. Several anti-slip blocks are equidistantly distributed on the inner wall of the clamping groove, and the anti-slip blocks move against the body of the reaction flask; Both the capping cylinder and the air slip ring are mounted on the bearing plate. The air slip ring is equipped with a rotatable slip ring shaft. The output end of the capping cylinder is connected to the slip ring shaft via a coupling. The mounting shaft and the cover-opening cylinder are provided. The mounting shaft has a connecting groove and an oblong hole that are interconnected along its axial direction.

[0015] In the aforementioned automatic degreasing machine, the filling mechanism includes: An adjusting cylinder is mounted on the support plate, and the output end of the adjusting cylinder is connected to a lifting frame. A filling machine is installed on the lifting frame, and the filling machine is equipped with a filling tube head that extends movably into the reaction flask.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) The automatic degreasing machine of the present invention adopts a roller array type receiving cavity and a bottle pressing plate clamping and positioning structure to build a multi-station cyclic operation system. The rotation of the rollers can realize the continuous switching of the reaction bottle station, abandoning the traditional manual step-by-step intermittent operation mode, and can realize the uninterrupted degreasing process of batch reaction bottles. It can continuously complete the automatic filling of the pretreated degreasing solution and the degreasing reaction operation, greatly improving the overall production efficiency and adapting to the industrial batch production scenario. At the same time, the bottle pressing plate can stably press and fix the reaction bottle, prevent the bottle from shaking or shifting during the operation, ensure the stability of the degreasing condition after cotton and alcohol pretreatment, ensure the uniform and sufficient degreasing reaction, and greatly improve the automation level of the equipment and the overall efficiency of degreasing process.

[0018] (2) The heating pipe is used to meet the constant temperature environment required for the degreasing process and accelerate the chemical reaction; the circulating water pipe is used to cool down after the reaction or when it is overheated to prevent temperature runaway. The synergistic temperature control design of the two structures realizes the precise control of the temperature inside the drum cavity; in addition, the setting of the gas-liquid slip ring solves the problem of the cooling water and heating line entanglement in the drum rotation state, ensuring the stability of continuous operation.

[0019] (3) The unlocking ramp enables the thrust of the unlocking cylinder to be more effectively converted into the rotational torque of the locking block, resulting in a fast action response. Combined with the elastic element on the guide post, it provides the locking block with elastic potential energy for automatic reset, ensuring the reliability of the locking action.

[0022] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0023] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic degreasing machine, which includes a machine base 1, a roller 10, a transfer mechanism 2, an anti-detachment mechanism 3, a capping mechanism 4, and a filling mechanism 5.

[0025] A roller 10 is rotatably mounted on a machine base 1, and an array of receiving cavities 100 for accommodating reaction flasks are distributed on the roller 10. A transfer mechanism 2 is mounted on the machine base 1 and located above the roller 10. The transfer mechanism 2 includes a pressure plate 20, which can movably press the reaction flask into the receiving cavity 100, allowing the reaction flask to rotate with the roller 10. An anti-detachment mechanism 3 includes a locking block 30 and an unlocking block 31. The locking block 30 is connected to the roller 10 and can movably press the pressure plate 20 to lock the pressure plate 20. The unlocking block 31 is connected to the transfer mechanism 2 and can movably abut against the locking block 30 to release the pressure of the locking block 30 on the pressure plate 20. A capping mechanism 4 and a filling mechanism 5 are both mounted on the transfer mechanism 2. The capping mechanism 4 is used to open or tighten the cap of the reaction flask. The filling mechanism 5 is used to inject the degreasing solution into the reaction flask.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the operator or robotic arm pre-positions multiple reaction flasks (containing alcohol and cotton for the degreasing reaction) in an equidistant array on a storage platform. The storage platform is equipped with casters underneath, allowing it to move as it... Figure 2Within the machine 1 shown, the rollers can be locked (the structure and principle of locking the rollers are the same as existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here), thus providing a stable foundation for the subsequent degreasing process. Specifically, the transfer mechanism 2 picks up multiple reaction bottles (usually one row of reaction bottles in the storage platform) from the storage platform and transfers them above the roller 10. Once the multiple reaction bottles are accurately placed into their respective receiving cavities 100, the capping mechanism 4 clamps the bottle body and unscrews the bottle cap. After the transfer mechanism 2 aligns the filling mechanism 5 with the bottle mouth, it can accurately and quantitatively inject the degreasing solution (alkaline solution, such as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, etc.) into the bottle. The injected degreasing solution and the bottle... The alcohol and cotton inside the reaction flask fully react and undergo deep degreasing of the cotton. After filling, the capping mechanism 4 tightens the cap back onto the reaction flask. At this time, the transfer mechanism 2 moves the pressure plate 20 above the filled reaction flask and completes the pressing operation on multiple reaction flasks. With the locking block 30 pressing and fixing the pressure plate 20, it is ensured that the filled reaction flask rotates with the roller 10 (which helps the degreasing reaction inside the reaction flask to be more complete). After the roller 10 rotates the degreased reaction flask to... Figure 2 When the position is shown, the anti-detachment mechanism 3 drives the unlocking block 31 to rotate relative to the roller 10 to move away from the pressure plate 20, so that the transfer mechanism 2 can transfer the reaction bottle after the degreasing reaction is completed to the storage platform for storage and transportation. It can be seen that this solution can realize the automatic locking and unlocking of the pressure plate 20 through the coordinated cooperation of the locking block 30 and the unlocking block 31. During the operation, the locking block 30 presses the pressure plate 20 to form a reliable locking limit, preventing the pressure plate 20 from loosening due to high-speed operation or operation vibration. The unlocking block 31 can automatically unlock as needed, meeting the flexible operation requirements of bottle loading and unloading, and taking into account the safety of equipment operation and the convenience of operation. In addition, the capping mechanism 4 and the filling mechanism 5 are integrated on the transfer mechanism 2, which can realize the integrated operation of capping opening and closing and degreasing solution filling process. Each process does not require manual intervention or cross-equipment transfer, effectively shortening the operation process, reducing process connection error, greatly improving the automation level and operation accuracy of degreasing operation, while reducing the pollution risk and operation error probability caused by manual operation, and ensuring the standardized implementation of degreasing process.

[0027] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also includes a positioning baffle 18 inside the machine base 1. The end of the positioning baffle 18 has a guide slope 180. The guide slope 180 guides the material storage platform to the machine base 1, and the positioning baffle 18 itself accurately limits the material storage platform inside the machine base 1, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the transfer mechanism 2 in the process of grabbing and transferring multiple reaction bottles.

[0028] The anti-detachment mechanism 3 also includes: a fixed base 32, the outer wall of the roller 10 is provided with multiple interconnected mounting surfaces 101, each mounting surface 101 is detachably connected to a fixed base 32, the fixed base 32 is provided with a rotating shaft 320, and a locking block 30 is connected to the rotating shaft 320; a first connecting shaft 33 and a second connecting shaft 34, the first connecting shaft 33 is installed on the locking block 30, the second connecting shaft 34 is installed on the fixed base 32 and is spaced apart from the rotating shaft 320, a guide post 35 and an elastic element 36 are connected between the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34, the elastic element 36 is sleeved on the guide post 35 and its two ends abut against the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34 respectively; and a limiting plate 37, which is movably connected to the outer wall of the fixed base 32, the limiting plate 37 can adjust the height difference between itself and the locking block 30 so that the limiting plate 37 can support the pressure plate 20.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, six identical mounting planes 101 (i.e., hexagonal structures) are provided on the roller 10. These mounting planes 101 can provide a flat and stable mounting reference for the fixed seat 32. Compared with curved mounting structures, this can effectively avoid the problems of installation offset and loosening of the fixed seat 32. At the same time, the fixed seat 32 adopts a detachable connection (screw, bolt, etc.) method, which facilitates the subsequent disassembly, inspection, replacement and maintenance by the staff, greatly reducing the later operation and maintenance costs and maintenance difficulty of the equipment. When any mounting plane 101 on the roller 10 rotates to a horizontal position, the pressure plate 20 and the locking block 30 can complete the unlocking and locking operation of the reaction bottle. Specifically, in this embodiment, a first connecting shaft 33, a second connecting shaft 34, a guide post 35, and an elastic element 36 are provided between the locking block 30 and the fixed seat 32. The elastic element 36 can achieve precise extension and retraction guidance by relying on the guide post 35, avoiding deformation, displacement, or jamming of the elastic element 36. When the reaction bottle needs to rotate with the roller 10 for a thorough degreasing reaction, the elastic pressing force of the elastic element 36 can drive the locking block 30 to continuously maintain the pressed and locked state against the pressure bottle plate 20 (see reference). Figure 4 The structure shown ensures the stable progress of the degreasing reaction process; during the unlocking process, the unlocking block 31 abuts against the locking block 30 and pushes it along... Figure 4Rotating clockwise, the end of the guide post 35 away from the second connecting shaft 34 passes through the first connecting shaft 33. Therefore, during the rotation of the locking block 30, the distance between the first connecting shaft 33 and the second connecting shaft 34 gradually decreases. Consequently, the first connecting shaft 33 gradually compresses the elastic element 36, and the elastic force of the elastic element 36 enables the locking block 30 to automatically reset during subsequent locking actions, ensuring the continuity of the mechanism's cyclical operation. As the locking block 30 stably moves away from the pressure plate 20, it effectively ensures that the pressure plate 20 will not interfere with the locking block 30 during the gripping and removal process. It should be noted that the elastic element 36 in this embodiment can be replaced by other elastic devices such as compression springs or return springs.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also utilizes an adjustable limiting plate 37 to flexibly adjust the height difference between it and the locking block 30. This allows workers to adjust the limiting and receiving height according to different specifications and heights of reaction bottles and the pressing stroke of the pressure plate 20, ensuring accurate receiving of the pressure plate 20. This provides auxiliary limiting support for the pressure plate 20, effectively improving the stability of the pressure plate 20's clamping and fixing, preventing excessive pressing or loosening of the pressure plate 20, and significantly enhancing the equipment's adaptability to different working conditions and workpiece specifications, thus broadening the equipment's application range. It is worth noting that the limiting plate 37 has a vertically placed stepped structure, and an adjustment hole 370 is provided at the limiting plate 37. By connecting the limiting plate 37 to the outer wall of the fixing base 32 through screws or screw structures (not shown in the figure) within the adjustment hole 370, the limiting plate 37 can be freely adjusted in the vertical height direction.

[0031] The anti-detachment mechanism 3 also includes a lifting cylinder 38 and an unlocking cylinder 39. The output end of the lifting cylinder 38 is connected to a lifting block 380, and the unlocking cylinder 39 is inclinedly arranged on the lifting block 380. The output end of the unlocking cylinder 39 is connected to the unlocking block 31 to drive the locking block 30 to rotate around the rotating shaft 320.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, when the bottle pressing plate 20 needs to be unlocked, the lifting cylinder 38 can drive the lifting block 380 and the unlocking cylinder 39 to rise and fall as a whole. This allows for precise adaptation of the unlocking operation position to the actual working height of the bottle pressing plate 20 and the locking block 30, avoiding the problem of fixed unlocking structures being unable to adapt to working height deviations and improving the adaptability and accuracy of the unlocking operation. It is worth noting that the unlocking cylinder 39 in this embodiment adopts an inclined installation structure, and its output power direction matches the rotational trajectory of the locking block 30. This can efficiently drive the locking block 30 to rotate precisely around the rotation axis 320, stably releasing the locking block 30 from pressing and locking the bottle pressing plate 20, thus improving the smoothness of the unlocking action. Meanwhile, the fully automatic unlocking drive structure requires no manual operation and can be precisely linked with the overall automated operation process of the equipment. With the elastic element 36 and the elastic reset of the locking block 30, the locking and unlocking processes can be automatically switched in cycles, which greatly improves the overall automation level of the equipment, reduces manual intervention, improves work efficiency, and ensures the consistency of each unlocking action. It avoids incomplete unlocking, structural jamming and other faults caused by manual operation force and position deviation, and ensures the continuous and stable operation of the equipment.

[0033] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment optimizes the smoothness and stability of the unlocking operation by setting an unlocking ramp 300 on the locking block 30, forming a ramp abutment fit structure with the unlocking block 31. Compared with the rigid push structure of straight abutment, the ramp structure can achieve flexible and progressive abutment transmission. The unlocking block 31 is subjected to stable force during the push process, which can smoothly convert the inclined push force into the rotational torque of the locking block 30. This effectively avoids the problems of rigid impact, jamming and force concentration at the moment of unlocking, greatly reduces the risk of wear and deformation of parts during the unlocking process, and extends the service life of the anti-detachment mechanism 3. At the same time, the unlocking ramp 300 has a guiding and positioning function, which can guide the unlocking block 31 to accurately abut the fit position, avoid the unlocking failure and push deviation caused by the offset of the unlocking block 31, improve the accuracy and reliability of the unlocking action, and ensure that the bottle pressing plate 20 can be completely released in each unlocking operation. This eliminates the failure of the subsequent bottle pressing plate 20 to be released and the obstruction of bottle picking and placing caused by incomplete unlocking, further ensuring the continuity and stability of equipment operation.

[0034] The pressure plate 20 includes a pressure plate 200 and a buffer plate 201. A fixed post 200a and a buffer spring 200b are installed on the pressure plate 200. The buffer spring 200b is sleeved on the fixed post 200a and connected to the buffer plate 201. A guide hole 201a is opened on the buffer plate 201, and the fixed post 200a is inserted into the guide hole 201a.

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the pressure plate 20 adopts a separate structure of extrusion plate 200 and buffer plate 201. Together with the fixing column 200a and buffer spring 200b, they form an elastic buffering and clamping system. This allows the buffer spring 200b to provide flexible buffering during the pressing process of the extrusion plate 200, effectively offsetting the rigid impact force during pressing. This avoids damage to the workpiece caused by rigid extrusion, such as breakage of the reaction bottle, deformation of the bottle mouth, and scratches on the bottle body, reducing the workpiece scrap rate and saving production costs. Simultaneously, the insertion and engagement of the fixing column 200a and the guide hole 201a provides precise guidance for the extension and retraction of the buffer plate 201, ensuring that the buffer plate 201 extends and retracts smoothly only in the vertical direction. This prevents the buffer plate 201 from shifting, tilting, or jamming, ensuring that the clamping force is evenly applied to the top of the reaction bottle, achieving stable and balanced clamping and fixing. This effectively prevents the reaction bottle from loosening and falling off, and also avoids damage to the bottle body due to excessive local pressure. In addition, this elastic buffer structure can be adapted to reaction flasks with different neck heights and slight deformations, and has a certain error adaptation capability, further improving the equipment's adaptability and operational yield.

[0036] This solution also includes: a mounting base 11, which is mounted on the machine base 1, and a rotary motor 12 is mounted on the mounting base 11; a drive gear and a driven gear 13, the output end of the rotary motor 12 is connected to the drive gear, the two ends of the roller 10 extend outward to form a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is movably connected to the mounting base 11, the driven gear 13 is mounted on the rotating shaft and movably meshes with the drive gear; and a bearing housing 14, which is mounted on the machine base 1, and an extension cylinder 15 is formed on the side of the roller 10 away from the driven gear 13, the extension cylinder 15 is connected inside the bearing housing 14.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the rotation of the drum 10 in this embodiment is achieved through a meshing transmission structure of a rotary motor 12, a driving gear (not shown in the figure), and a driven gear 13. This gear meshing transmission offers advantages such as high transmission precision, stable power output, and strong load-bearing capacity. It can precisely control the rotation angle, speed, and start-stop rhythm of the drum 10, ensuring uniform and stable flow of reaction bottles at each station. This ensures consistent degreasing operation time and process conditions for each reaction bottle, improving product consistency in batch degreasing operations. Furthermore, the drum 10 is connected to a double-end support structure via a rotating shaft to the mounting base 11 and an extension cylinder 15 to the bearing seat 14, forming a symmetrical and stable support system. This effectively disperses the gravitational load on the drum 10 and the bottle material, preventing tilting and eccentric rotation caused by unilateral force on the drum 10. This significantly reduces shaking and jumping during drum 10 operation, minimizing equipment vibration and noise, while also effectively reducing shaft wear and extending the service life of the drum 10 and the transmission structure. As can be seen, this structure enables the rotatable and stable installation of the roller 10, ensuring the stability and reliability of the roller 10 during long-term continuous operation, adapting to the long-term, uninterrupted industrial production needs of the equipment, and effectively improving the overall operational stability and durability of the equipment.

[0038] This solution also includes: a heating pipe 102, which is disposed on the side wall of the drum 10 and extends into the inside of the drum 10. The heating pipe 102 is used to heat the inner cavity of the drum 10 so that the reaction flask located in the receiving cavity 100 is kept at a constant temperature; a circulating water pipe 103, which is connected to both the side wall of the drum 10 and the outer wall of the extension cylinder 15. Both circulating water pipes 103 are connected to the inner cavity of the drum 10 and the external cooling water circulation device; and a gas-liquid slip ring 104, which is disposed at the end of the extension cylinder 15.

[0039] It is worth noting that the drum 10 in this embodiment stores water. Since each formed receiving cavity 100 is recessed towards the inside of the drum 10 (i.e., the mounting plane 101 is recessed along the inside of the drum 10 to form the receiving cavity 100 for holding the reaction bottle), the degreasing reaction temperature required by the reaction bottle can be maintained through the contact between the water and the outer wall of the receiving cavity 100. Specifically, two built-in heating tubes 102 are arranged radially along the drum 10. These heating tubes 102 are usually equipped with heating copper tubes. The inner cavity of the drum 10 can be uniformly heated by external heating equipment, so that the reaction bottle in the receiving cavity 100 is always kept at a constant temperature, which can accurately meet the temperature requirements of the degreasing process. First, the heating element 102 and the circulating water pipe 103, working in tandem to prevent ambient temperature fluctuations from affecting the degreasing reaction efficiency and effect, ensure that the degreasing reaction in all reaction flasks proceeds fully and uniformly, significantly improving the quality of the degreasing operation and the product qualification rate. Second, the circulating water pipe 103 configured on the side wall of the drum 10 and the outer wall of the extension cylinder 15 can be connected to an external cooling water circulation device to achieve water circulation cooling of the inner cavity of the drum 10 (this principle can be referenced from the chiller pump in the existing technology). This allows for rapid cooling after high-temperature heating (or when the degreasing reaction temperature exceeds the preset temperature), and also allows for real-time adjustment of the inner cavity temperature during operation, avoiding problems such as evaporation of the degreasing solution, over-reaction, and high-temperature aging of the equipment due to excessive temperature, thus achieving precise closed-loop temperature control. Therefore, this solution, with the dual temperature control synergy of the heating element 102 and the circulating water pipe 103, achieves precise control of the inner cavity temperature of the drum 10, thereby providing a constant temperature, water-cooled circulation, precise process environment for the degreasing operation, significantly improving the degreasing process effect and equipment operation safety.

[0040] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also utilizes the gas-liquid slip ring 104 to solve the problem of cooling water and heating lines entanglement during the rotation of the drum 10, ensuring the continuity and stability of water circulation and gas transmission, adapting to the 360° continuous rotation operation requirements of the drum, eliminating the need to stop the machine to tidy up the pipeline, ensuring long-term continuous operation of the equipment, and the overall structure realizes constant temperature control and circulating heat dissipation functions for degreasing operations, optimizing the degreasing process environment, improving the quality of operation, effectively protecting equipment parts, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0041] The transfer mechanism 2 also includes: a movable slide 21 on which a drive motor 22 and a slider 23 are mounted; a slide rail 16 and a rack 17 are mounted in parallel on the machine base 1; the output end of the drive motor 22 is connected to a drive gear 220, which meshes with the rack 17 to drive the slider 23 to slide back and forth along the length of the slide rail 16; a drive member 24 and a support plate 25; the drive member 24 is mounted on the movable slide 21 and its output end is connected to the support plate 25; a lifting cylinder 38 is mounted on the support plate 25, which has a limiting post 250; a limiting sleeve 210 is mounted on the movable slide 21, and the limiting post 250 is movably inserted into the limiting sleeve 210; a telescopic cylinder 26 and a pneumatic finger 27; the telescopic cylinder 26 is mounted on the support plate 25, and the pneumatic finger 27 is connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 26 and is used to clamp and release the pressure plate 20.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, for the reciprocating lateral movement of the movable slide table 21 and its various mechanisms between the roller 10 and the storage platform, this embodiment uses the meshing transmission of the drive motor 22, drive gear 220 and rack 17, combined with the guiding and limiting functions of the slider 23 and slide rail 16, to stably drive the movable slide table 21 to achieve high-precision and smooth reciprocating linear movement. The entire transmission structure has a fast response speed and high positioning accuracy, and can accurately control the movement stroke and stopping position of the transfer mechanism 2, ensuring that the reaction bottle is accurately aligned in the capping, filling and pressing processes, and avoiding operation failure caused by alignment deviation. In addition, this embodiment also utilizes the drive component 24 (hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, electric cylinder and other drive devices) in conjunction with the support plate 25 to achieve vertical lifting and adjustment, which can flexibly adapt to the operation requirements of reaction bottles of different heights and improve the adaptability of the equipment. During this process, the limiting post 250 of the support plate 25 and the limiting sleeve 210 of the moving slide 21 are inserted and cooperated to accurately limit and guide the lifting and lowering movement of the support plate 25, eliminate the deviation and shaking during the lifting and lowering process, and greatly improve the stability and positioning accuracy of the lifting and lowering operation.

[0043] Furthermore, regarding the gripping and releasing of the bottle-pressing plate 20, such as... Figure 9As shown, this embodiment achieves the free vertical lifting and lowering of the pressure plate 20 through the telescopic cylinder 26, and simultaneously realizes the automated clamping and release of the pressure plate 20 with the pneumatic finger 27. The entire operation does not require manual disassembly and assembly of the pressure plate 20, realizing the automated switching operation of the pressure component, further improving the automation level and operation efficiency of the equipment. At the same time, the pneumatic clamping action is stable and responsive, and can accurately match the overall operation rhythm of the equipment, ensuring efficient linkage operation of each process. It should be noted that the unlocking cylinder 39 and unlocking block 31 mentioned above are usually installed at both ends of the length direction of the support plate 25 (i.e., corresponding to both ends of the length direction of the pressure plate 20), while the telescopic cylinder 26 and pneumatic finger 27 are usually assembled in the middle position of the support plate 25. This layout can ensure the stable gripping of the pressure plate 20 by the pneumatic finger 27, and can also avoid positional interference between the pneumatic finger 27 and the unlocking block 31 and unlocking cylinder 39 during the operation, which would affect the production rhythm of the entire degreasing machine.

[0044] The capping mechanism 4 includes: a clamping cylinder 40 and a clamping arm 41. The clamping cylinder 40 is mounted on the support plate 25, and the clamping arm 41 is symmetrically connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder 40. A clamping groove 410 is formed inside the clamping arm 41 for clamping the body of the reaction flask. Several anti-slip blocks 411 are equidistantly distributed on the inner wall of the clamping groove 410, and the anti-slip blocks 411 move against the body of the reaction flask. The capping cylinder 42 and the slip ring 43 are both mounted on the support plate 25. A rotatable slip ring shaft 44 is arranged inside the slip ring 43, and the output end of the capping cylinder 42 is connected to the slip ring shaft 44 by a coupling. The device 45 is connected to the mounting shaft 46 and the cover-opening cylinder 47. The mounting shaft 46 has a connecting groove 460 and a waist-shaped hole 461 that are interconnected along its axial direction. The end of the slip ring shaft 44 is connected to a locking block 440. The locking block 440 can move and abut against the inner wall of the waist-shaped hole 461 when the slip ring shaft 44 is inserted into the connecting groove 460. The cover-opening cylinder 47 is connected to the mounting shaft 46, and a capping block 48 that can be synchronously clamped and released is symmetrically connected to the output end of the cover-opening cylinder 47. A pressure spring 49 is set in the connecting groove 460, and the two ends of the pressure spring 49 abut against the bottom wall of the slip ring shaft 44 and the connecting groove 460, respectively.

[0045] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping cylinder 40 drives the clamping arm 41 to open and close, ensuring precise centered clamping of the reaction bottle body. Combined with the equidistantly distributed anti-slip blocks 411 within the clamping groove 410, the clamping friction is significantly improved, effectively preventing slippage, offset, and rotation of the bottle body during capping, ensuring absolute stability of the bottle body during capping operations and providing a fundamental guarantee for precise capping. During the capping process, since this embodiment has three capping blocks 48 (similar to an electric three-jaw chuck on a machine tool), the capping cylinder 47 drives the bottom capping blocks 48 to simultaneously clamp inward, precisely gripping the outer circumference of the reaction bottle cap, forming a stable circumferential clamping torque structure, ensuring subsequent rotation operations. There is no relative sliding or slippage between the bottle cap and the cylinder. Once the bottle cap is in place, the capping cylinder 42 is activated, driving the slip ring shaft 44 inside the air slip ring 43 to rotate as a whole through the coupling 45. The slip ring shaft 44 engages with the waist-shaped hole 461 through the end locking block 440, driving the mounting shaft 46, the capping cylinder 47, and the capping block 48 to rotate synchronously. Under the action of the dynamic-static separation structure of the air slip ring 43, the air passage remains unobstructed during rotation, solving the problems of air pipe entanglement and air interruption during rotation, and ensuring that the clamping force of the capping cylinder 47 remains stable. As the capping block 48 rotates, it drives the bottle cap to rotate in the opposite direction, thus smoothly unscrewing the bottle cap to complete the capping process and providing working space for filling the degreasing solution.

[0046] Furthermore, during the opening process, since the body of the reaction flask and the clamping arm 41 remain stable, the cap will inevitably rotate and move upward relative to the flask body when it is unscrewed. To address this, this embodiment utilizes the engagement of the waist-shaped hole 461 and the locking block 440 at the end of the slip ring shaft 44 to achieve flexible engagement transmission of the rotating structure (i.e., while the mounting shaft 46 rotates synchronously with the slip ring shaft 44, it also moves relative to the slip ring shaft 44 along the axial direction of the waist-shaped hole 461). This, combined with the pressure spring 49 in the connecting groove 460, forms an elastic buffer transmission structure, which can effectively buffer the release force during the capping process and avoid problems such as cap stripping, breakage, and bottle mouth cracking caused by excessive capping force. During the re-tightening process, the elastic reset of the pressure spring 49 can apply a certain pressure to the cap, ensuring a stable fit between the cap and the threaded structure on the flask body, and preventing the smoothness and stability of the cap tightening process from being affected by mechanical vibration or other factors.

[0047] The filling mechanism 5 includes: an adjusting cylinder 50, which is mounted on the support plate 25, and the output end of the adjusting cylinder 50 is connected to a lifting frame 51; and a filling machine 52, which is mounted on the lifting frame 51, and the filling machine 52 is equipped with a filling tube head 520, which extends movably into the reaction bottle.

[0048] like Figure 10As shown, the adjusting cylinder 50 in this embodiment can drive the lifting frame 51 and the filling machine 52 to rise and fall as a whole, thereby precisely adjusting the insertion depth of the filling tube head 520. This allows for adaptation and adjustment of the filling position according to reaction bottles of different heights and specifications, preventing the tube head from being inserted too deeply and touching the bottom of the bottle, causing damage, or being inserted too shallowly, leading to solution splashing and spillage. This significantly improves the stability and safety of the filling operation. Therefore, this structure is precisely linked with the capping mechanism 4 and the roller 10's rotation process, achieving integrated operation of immediate filling after opening and immediate capping after filling. The process is tightly connected, requiring no manual intervention, effectively avoiding problems such as solution ratio deviation, uneven filling volume, and solution spillage contaminating equipment caused by manual filling. This ensures that the solution filling volume of each reaction bottle is accurate and consistent, providing uniform material conditions for the degreasing reaction and guaranteeing the consistency of batch degreasing operation results. It also significantly improves filling efficiency, achieving automated, high-precision, and pollution-free filling of the degreasing solution. It should be noted that the structure and working principle of the filling machine 52 (which mainly consists of a storage tank, a conveying track, a filling valve and a control system, and quantitatively fills the material into the reaction bottle through the filling tube head 520 by gravity, pressure or piston) and the filling tube head 520 are the same as the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.
