Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to dishwasher performance detection, in particular to an automatic water injection mechanism for dynamic water detection trial of a dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] A dishwasher is an appliance that automatically washes tableware, including bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, and forks. Fully automatic dishwashers on the market are categorized into two types: home and commercial. Home fully automatic dishwashers are suitable only for home use and primarily come in cabinet, countertop, sink-integrated, and integrated models. Commercial dishwashers are categorized by structure into five main types: cabinet, hood, basket conveyor, belt conveyor, and ultrasonic. They reduce labor intensity, improve work efficiency, and enhance cleanliness and hygiene for cooks in restaurants, hotels, and government canteens.

[0003] Dishwashers have gradually become an everyday household appliance. Each dishwasher is composed of multiple parts. During the manufacturing process, the parts are first manufactured individually and then assembled by operators to form a dishwasher. Before dishwashers are packaged and sold, they are required to undergo water testing.

[0004] Currently, dishwasher manufacturers use multiple linear static water testing lines. The water injection port of the linear test line (for adding test water to the product) is a fixed one-to-one static water injection structure. All products in the entire test line must be put in before water can be injected one by one. This increases the time for individual water injection and affects test efficiency.

[0005] In summary, there is a need for an automatic water injection mechanism for a dynamic water detection trial of a dishwasher that can improve the test efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art in which the water injection port of a linear test line is a fixed one-to-one static water injection form, and water can only be injected one by one after all the products of the entire test line have been put in, which increases the time of individual water injection and affects the test efficiency. The utility model provides an automatic water injection mechanism for a dynamic water detection trial of a dishwasher that can improve the test efficiency.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] An automatic water filling mechanism for dynamic water detection trial of a dishwasher includes an annular detection assembly line, a water filling platform is provided on the side of the annular detection assembly line, a movable seat is installed on the water filling platform, a water guide pipe is installed on the movable seat, an angle seat valve is installed on the end of the water guide pipe facing the annular detection assembly line, a water filling head is installed on the angle seat valve, an infrared sensing probe is also provided on the water filling platform, and the movable seat and the angle seat valve are both connected to the infrared sensing probe.

[0009] When the products entering the circular inspection line pass through the water filling station, they are identified by the infrared sensing probe and the movable seat and angle seat valve are automatically started. The movable seat drives the water filling head to move, so that the water filling head is automatically aligned with the water filling point of the product. At the same time, the angle seat valve automatically opens to automatically fill the product with water. In this way, when a single product enters the circular inspection line, it can be filled with water synchronously while the production line is running, which greatly improves the testing efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, the movable seat includes a base plate, which is mounted on the water filling platform and is horizontally movably connected thereto. A column is fixed to the base plate, and a height adjustment plate is mounted on the column. The height adjustment plate and the column are vertically movably connected. A bracket is fixed to the height adjustment plate, and the water pipe is fixed to the bracket. The base plate drives the water filling head on it to move horizontally so that it can automatically approach the product. The height adjustment plate drives the water filling head on it to move up and down so that the height of the water filling head can be adjusted to a suitable water filling position.

[0011] Preferably, a height adjustment cylinder is mounted on the column, and the height adjustment plate is mounted on the height adjustment cylinder. The height of the height adjustment plate is automatically adjusted by the height adjustment cylinder, so that the water injection head on the height adjustment plate can be automatically adjusted to a suitable water injection position, which has a simple structure, convenient control, and a high degree of automation.

[0012] Preferably, a slide rail is fixed on the table top of the water filling platform, a slider matching the slide rail is fixed on the bottom plate, the bottom plate is horizontally movably connected to the water filling platform through the cooperation of the slider and the slide rail, a motor is also fixed on the bottom plate, a transmission gear is installed on the end of the motor, a fixed rack parallel to the slide rail is fixed on the table top of the water filling platform, the transmission gear and the fixed rack are meshed, and the motor is connected to the infrared sensing probe. The matching design of the slide rail and the slider facilitates the installation of the bottom plate on the table top of the water filling platform, and at the same time guides the movement of the bottom plate. When the infrared sensing probe recognizes the product, the motor is automatically started, and the meshing transmission between the transmission gear on the motor and the fixed rack drives the bottom plate and the water injection head thereon to move toward the direction of the product, so that the water injection head automatically aligns with the water injection point of the product. The structure is simple, the control is convenient, and the degree of automation is high.

[0013] Preferably, a water tray moving cylinder is fixed to the bracket, and a water tray is fixed to the end of the piston rod of the water tray moving cylinder. The water tray is placed below the water injection head. After water injection is completed, the water tray moving cylinder is activated to control the water tray to automatically move to a position directly below the water injection head. The water injection head and water tray then withdraw synchronously, effectively preventing residual water from the water injection point from dripping onto the production line.

[0014] Preferably, a flow sensor is installed on the water conduit. The flow sensor can provide real-time flow data to help the control system adjust production line parameters and ensure the stability and efficiency of the testing process.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when a single product enters the circular detection assembly line, water can be injected into the product synchronously while the production line is running, thereby improving the test efficiency; the structure is simple, the control is convenient, and the degree of automation is high; it effectively prevents the residual water at the water injection point from dripping everywhere on the production line; it can provide real-time flow data to help the control system adjust the production line parameters and ensure the stability and efficiency of the test process.

[0024] A slide rail 10 is fixed on the table top of the water filling platform 2, and a slider 11 matching the slide rail 10 is fixed on the base plate 6. The base plate 6 is horizontally movably connected to the water filling platform 2 through the cooperation of the slider 11 and the slide rail 10. A motor 12 is also fixed on the base plate 6, and a transmission gear 13 is installed at the end of the motor 12. A fixed rack 14 parallel to the slide rail 10 is fixed on the table top of the water filling platform 2, and the transmission gear 13 and the fixed rack 14 are meshed with each other. The motor 12 is connected to the infrared sensing probe.

[0025] A water receiving tray moving cylinder 15 is fixed on the bracket 9 , and a water receiving tray 16 is fixed to the end of the piston rod of the water receiving tray moving cylinder 15 . The water receiving tray 16 is placed below the water injection head 5 .
