Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of end cap processing technology, and more specifically, it relates to an opening device for end cap processing. Background Technology
[0002] Pressure vessels are closed systems that hold gases or liquids and withstand a certain pressure. They are widely used in petrochemical, energy, scientific research, and military industries. Pressure vessels generally consist of a shell, heads, flanges, and nozzles. The head is a major pressure-bearing component. Based on their geometric shape, heads can be classified as spherical, elliptical, dished, and crown-shaped, among others. Head processing requires a drilling device for opening holes. Existing drilling devices have limited adjustment ranges for the limiting mechanisms used when processing different head models, hindering their practicality. Furthermore, the simple clamping and limiting installation method of these devices results in poor installation stability, lacking suitable reinforced limiting mechanisms. Additionally, the drilling operation typically involves a robotic arm moving the drill bit to a suitable position, but the fixed position of the robotic arm limits drilling position adjustment, further compromising practicality.

[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As one embodiment of the drilling mechanism: the drilling mechanism includes a support 12 and a robotic arm 13.

The adjusting rod 21 is threadedly connected to the first limiting plate 4, and an adjusting motor 22 is connected to the front end of the adjusting rod 21. The adjusting motor 22 is electrically connected to the controller 3.
[0034] Specifically, the controller 3 starts the adjusting motor 22, which drives the adjusting rod 21 to rotate. The adjusting rod 21 and the first limiting plate 4 are threaded together. The internal threads of the two first limiting plates 4 are set in opposite directions, and the first limiting plates 4 slide relative to the slide groove 20 for adjustment.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As one embodiment of the suction mechanism: the suction mechanism includes a vacuum pump 25, a conduit 26 and a hose 27. The vacuum pump 25 is installed at the bottom of the workbench 1, the conduit 26 is installed on the vacuum pump 25, and there are two hoses 27.

[0038] Specifically, the controller 3 starts the vacuum pump 25. The vacuum pump 25 adsorbs the end cap through the conduit 26, hose 27, suction tube 10 and suction cup 11. Before adsorption, the electric push rod 29 is started. The electric push rod 29 extends and retracts, driving the support plate 28 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the suction tube 10 up and down and adjusting the position of the suction cup 11.
[0039] In summary, the overall equipment is in use:
[0040] When in the pre-limit adjustment state, if a smaller end cap needs to be installed, the controller 3 is operated to start the adjustment motor 22. The adjustment motor 22 drives the adjustment rod 21 to rotate. The adjustment rod 21 and the first limit plate 4 are threaded together. The first limit plate 4 slides relative to the slide groove 20 to achieve the limit installation of the end cap. When a larger end cap needs to be installed, the adjustment seat 6 slides relative to the adjustment groove 5 to adjust to the appropriate position. The bolt passes through the first limit hole 23 and the second limit hole 24 and is tightened to fix it. The second limit plate 7 limits the installation. The first limit plate 4 slides to the innermost position to avoid installation conflicts.
[0041] When the enhanced adsorption state is activated, the controller 3 starts the electric push rod 29. The electric push rod 29 extends and retracts, driving the support plate 28 to rise and fall. The support plate 28 drives the suction tube 10 and suction cup 11 to rise and fall. When adjusted to a suitable height, the vacuum pump 25 starts. Through the guide tube 26, hose 27, suction tube 10 and suction cup 11, enhanced adsorption is achieved for the installation.
[0042] When in the drilling state, the drilling mechanism is adjusted according to the drilling position requirements. The bracket 12 slides relative to the groove 14 and is adjusted to a suitable position. The bolt passes through the first locking hole 16 and the second locking hole 17 and is tightened and fixed. The slide 15 drives the robotic arm 13 to slide to a suitable position. The bolt passes through the first connecting hole 18 and the second connecting hole 19 and is tightened and fixed. After the position of the robotic arm 13 is adjusted, the robotic arm 13 drives the head end drill bit to rotate and drill at the suitable position.
