Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of conveyor lines, and in particular to a material converging device and gas cylinder manufacturing equipment. Background Art
[0002] On the production line, it is often necessary to gather materials that are transported side by side into one row for packaging or other process steps. For example, in the production of portable gas cylinders, leakage detection must be completed in the temperature inspection tank before they can be packaged for delivery. Conventional temperature inspection tanks are generally equipped with multiple tracks in parallel, and the subsequent packaging process is a single track, so the portable gas cylinders need to be merged between these two processes.
[0003] In the related art, guide plates placed on both sides of the conveyor line are usually used to achieve the convergence of materials. However, at the gathering point of the materials, the materials guided by the guide plates on both sides often collide and squeeze each other, which on the one hand causes damage to the materials and increases the defective rate of the materials, especially reduces the safety of portable gas cylinders. On the other hand, it may also cause blockage at the outlet and reduce the production efficiency of the production line. Summary of the invention

After passing through the conveying route where the first guide plate is located and the conveying route where the outlet of the converging channel is located, it terminates at the conveying route where the second guide plate is located. Therefore, the material in the converging channel can be diverted to the conveying route where the second guide plate is located, so that the material moves toward the outlet of the converging channel under the guidance of the second guide plate, thereby avoiding collision and blockage of the material at the outlet. The material converging device helps to improve the yield rate and production efficiency of material convergence.

[0025] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.
[0028] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific content of the technical solution.
[0029] It is understandable that when converging multiple rows of materials, the guide plate will block the material conveying route, thereby gradually guiding the material to the conveying route where the outlet of the converging channel is located. Therefore, at the outlet, the material guided by the guide plate intersects with the material originally located on the conveying route where the outlet is located. Due to the limited space near the outlet, there will often be mutual collision and extrusion when intersecting, causing damage to the surface of the material and reducing the product yield. Especially when manufacturing portable gas cylinders, surface damage may also affect the pressure resistance of the portable gas cylinder and reduce the safety of the product.
[0030] Moreover, the collision may easily lead to the blockage of the outlet, thus affecting the rhythm of the production line and reducing production efficiency.
[0031] For this purpose, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to the material converging device provided in the embodiment of the present application, it includes a guide assembly and a material diverting plate 120. The guide assembly is used to be set on the conveyor line 200. The guide assembly includes a first guide plate 111 and a second guide plate 112. The first guide plate 111 is arranged on one side of the conveyor line 200, and the second guide plate 112 is arranged on the other side of the conveyor line 200. A converging channel that gradually narrows along the conveying route of the material 900 is formed between the first guide plate 111 and the second guide plate 112. The material diverting plate 120 is installed on the first guide plate 111. The material diverting plate 120 extends obliquely downstream and in the direction of the second guide plate 112, and extends to the conveying route where the second guide plate 112 is located, so as to divert the material 900 to the side close to the second guide plate 112.
[0032] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 The “conveying route where the second guide plate 112 is located” refers to the conveying route where the material 900 will be blocked by the second guide plate 112 during the conveying process and will be gathered toward the outlet under the guidance of the second guide plate 112 .
[0033] The material diverter plate 120 is located in the converging channel. The material diverter plate 120 extends from the first guide plate 111 and terminates at the conveying route where the second guide plate 112 is located after passing through the conveying route where the outlet of the converging channel is located, thereby diverting the materials 900 on other routes to the conveying route where the second guide plate 112 is located before the outlet.
[0034] After passing through the material transfer plate 120, the materials 900 in the confluence channel are uniformly gathered toward the outlet under the guidance of the second guide plate 112, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of multiple rows of materials 900 converging in a narrow area near the outlet, and avoiding collision and blockage of the materials at the outlet. The material confluence device helps to improve the yield rate and production efficiency of the convergence of the materials 900.
[0035] The first guide plate 111 and the second guide plate 112 may define different types of confluence channels. Basically, the confluence channel includes a conveying route where the second guide plate 112 is located and a conveying route where the outlet of the confluence channel is located. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first guide plate 111 extends straight along the conveying direction, and the second guide plate 112 extends obliquely downstream and in the direction of the first guide plate 111 to form a confluence channel, the outlet of which is larger than the size of the material 900 and smaller than twice the size of the material 900.
[0036] Optionally, in some embodiments, the confluence channel also includes a conveying route where the first guide plate 111 is located. In this case, the material diverter plate 120 blocks the conveying route where the first guide plate 111 is located and the conveying route where the outlet of the confluence channel is located, and diverts the materials 900 on these two conveying routes to the second guide plate 112.
[0037] The material stripping plate 120 may also block the conveying route where the second guide plate 112 is located, as long as it does not block all the conveying routes, for example Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the converging channel merges four rows of materials 900 into one row. The converging channel includes a conveying route where the outlets of a row of converging channels are located and a conveying route where three rows of second guide plates 112 are located. The material shifting plate 120 blocks the conveying route where a row of second guide plates 112 are located.
[0038] It should be pointed out that in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the material is a portable gas cylinder, such as a butane gas cylinder used in a gas stove, or a portable oxygen cylinder, etc. In other confluence scenarios, the material confluence device can also be used for various other types of materials, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0039] The present application also proposes a gas cylinder manufacturing device with a material converging device, and the gas cylinder manufacturing device is used to manufacture portable gas cylinders. The gas cylinder manufacturing equipment correspondingly has the beneficial effects provided by the material converging device, which will not be repeated here.
[0040] In addition, Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, the conveyor line 200 is schematically shown, and the material merging device is adapted to conventional multi-row material conveying lines in the related art, such as conveying lines composed of at least one of a conveyor belt, a conveyor chain plate, and a conveyor roller. As long as these conveyor lines do not interfere with the material merging device, the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0041] In some embodiments, the material stripping plate 120 is elastic, and the material stripping plate 120 can bend, deform, and rebound. By using an elastic material stripping plate 120, when the material 900 collides with the material stripping plate 120, the material stripping plate 120 can bend and deform toward the first guide plate 111 to buffer the force of the collision, thereby reducing the damage to the material 900 caused by the collision process, and after the deformation reaches the maximum, the material stripping plate 120 can rely on its own elastic rebound, thereby pushing the material on the material stripping plate 120 to transfer to the conveying route where the second guide plate 112 is located, so as to better exert the material stripping effect.
[0042] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The material-shifting plate 120 can be made of a thin metal plate, thereby further improving the material-shifting effect.
[0043] It is understandable that the material 900 sent out by the material stripper plate 120 will intersect with the material 900 originally on the conveying route where the second guide plate 112 is located, and the intersection area may also be blocked by the material 900. If an elastically bendable material stripper plate 120 is used, the material stripper plate 120 will bend and deform under the push of the material 900, so that the intersection area is enlarged, the blockage phenomenon is alleviated, and the material 900 is convenient to continue to be transported downstream.
[0044] However, if the intersection area is too narrow, the deformation of the material stripping plate 120 alone is not enough to fundamentally solve the blockage of the material 900. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the material stripper plate 120 and the second guide plate 112 is greater than or equal to twice the size of the material 900 .
[0045] The “minimum distance” refers to the distance between the end of the stripper plate 120 installed after the first guide plate 111 and the second guide plate 112 when the stripper plate 120 is not impacted by the material 900, that is, Figure 3 The dimension B shown in the figure can ensure that at least two rows of materials 900 are allowed to pass in parallel between the material stripper plate 120 and the second guide plate 112 by limiting the minimum distance, thereby leaving sufficient space for the materials 900 to move and avoid being squeezed by the materials 900 and causing blockage.
[0046] In some embodiments, there is a smooth transition between the material stripping plate 120 and the first guide plate 111, thereby avoiding sharp protrusions at the junction of the material stripping plate 120 and the first guide plate 111, and reducing the risk of damage to the material 900 during the conveying process.
[0047] Optionally, in some embodiments, the material stripping plate 120 is fixed to the first guide plate 111 by means of adhesive tape. The adhesive tape can wrap and hide the end of the material stripping plate 120 while fixing the material stripping plate 120, thereby preventing the end of the material stripping plate 120 from being exposed to form a sharp protrusion, and achieving a smooth transition between the material stripping plate 120 and the first guide plate 111. The use of adhesive tape for installation makes the installation of the material converging device more convenient.
[0048] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the material stripper plate 120 can also be connected by glue bonding or soldering, and by grinding and curing the glue or weld, a smooth transition interface can be obtained while installing and fixing the material stripper plate 120. Of course, the smooth transition between the first guide plate 111 and the material stripper plate 120 can also be achieved by rounding the end, and the material stripper plate 120 can be fixed with a countersunk screw fastener to avoid sharp protrusions. Other feasible smooth transition methods can refer to the relevant prior art, which will not be repeated here.
[0049] In some embodiments, the angle of the material stripper plate 120 relative to the conveying direction gradually increases from the first guide plate 111 side to the second guide plate 112 side. This helps to make the materials 900 contacting different parts of the material stripper plate 120 have different movement trajectories, and avoids the materials 900 sent out by the material stripper plate 120 from being excessively concentrated in a certain area.
[0050] For example, refer to Figure 3 For the material 900 near the starting end of the material stripper plate 120 (that is, the side near the first guide plate 111), the material stripper plate 120 can guide the material 900 to move along the material stripper plate 120, thereby partially converting the speed in the conveying direction into a speed perpendicular to the conveying direction, so that a part of the material 900 leaving the material stripper plate 120 can move farther in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, thereby preventing the material 900 from accumulating on the conveying route where the end of the material stripper plate 120 is located. For the material 900 near the end of the material stripper plate 120 (that is, the side near the second guide plate 112), more of the material 900 rebounds on the material stripper plate 120, so the moving distance is relatively short, forming different motion trajectories.
[0051] It should be noted that if the angle between the material stripping plate 120 and the conveying direction (i.e. Figure 3 If the angle A) shown in FIG. 1 is too large, the shifting effect will be poor. Therefore, in some embodiments, in a free state, the angle between the shifting plate 120 and the conveying direction is less than 80°.
[0052] It is understandable that, if the inclination of the material-diverting plate 120 varies, “the angle is less than 80°” means that the angle between any position on the material-diverting plate 120 and the conveying direction is less than 80°.
[0053] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.
