Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of top cover technology, and more particularly to a sliding cover mechanism guided by a single-sided guide rail. Background Technology

[0002] In the cleaning equipment of the photovoltaic industry, after the silicon wafers are rinsed and drained, a large amount of liquid remains on the surface of the silicon wafers, which will affect the subsequent sorting process. Therefore, it is necessary to drain the liquid and dry it by placing the silicon wafers in the drying tank. In order to improve the drying efficiency, a tank cover needs to be placed on top of the drying tank to form a relatively sealed environment.

[0003] Existing sliding cover mechanisms typically employ a dual-cylinder, dual-guide system. However, the synchronization of the dual cylinders is difficult to resolve. While adjusting the synchronization of the dual cylinders with a speed control valve may provide smooth operation in the short term, differences in the timing of the dual cylinders will emerge over time. This can lead to uneven wear of the guide wheels, causing them to impact the edge of the slot and resulting in damage to the guide wheels. Consequently, the sliding cover may become stuck, leading to the shutdown of the entire machine. Traditional sliding covers cannot withstand prolonged operation, resulting in slot doors that cannot close properly and become stuck. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve one of the problems existing in the background art.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a sliding cover mechanism with a single-sided guide rail.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A sliding cover mechanism guided by a single-sided guide rail includes,

[0008] A cover plate is disposed on the top of the tank.

[0009] A control component, disposed at the top of the tank for horizontal movement of the cover plate, includes...

[0010] A slide rail is installed between the cover plate and the groove, and the slide rail provides guidance for the movement of the cover plate;

[0011] An auxiliary wheel is mounted on the cover plate and rolls in cooperation with the groove. The auxiliary wheel and the slide rail are located on opposite sides of the cover plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the control component includes a cylinder disposed at the top of the tank, and the output end of the cylinder is hinged to the cover plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a sensor is provided on the side wall of the tank, which is used to sense the movement stroke of the cover plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the sensor is electrically connected to the corresponding cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, multiple cover plates are provided, and the number of control components is adapted to the number of cover plates.

[0016] Furthermore, the cover plate is provided in two parts, namely a first cover plate and a second cover plate. The first cover plate and the second cover plate are spaced apart in the vertical direction and a support wheel is provided between them. The support wheel is used to support the gap between the first cover plate and the second cover plate in the vertical direction.

[0017] Furthermore, the cylinders in the control assembly corresponding to the first cover plate and the cylinders in the control assembly corresponding to the second cover plate are staggered in the X-axis direction, and the orientation of the output end of the cylinder in the control assembly corresponding to the first cover plate is opposite to the orientation of the output end of the cylinder in the control assembly corresponding to the second cover plate.

[0018] Furthermore, the cylinder in the control assembly corresponding to the first cover plate and the cylinder in the control assembly corresponding to the second cover plate are located on both sides of the groove.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the structure adopts a structure with a circular guide rail on one side and an auxiliary wheel on the other side, and only one side of the circular guide rail has a cylinder as the power source. The slider is guided along the circular guide rail. The single-sided cylinder avoids the problem of difference between the two-sided cylinders, thereby avoiding the jamming phenomenon caused by the non-parallelism of the two-sided guides. The circular guide rail bears both the guidance and the load, while the auxiliary wheel only bears the load. The overall operation has less shaking, high precision, convenient maintenance, and good stability. Attached Figure Description

Preferably, the slide rail is a cylindrical guide rail. Sensors 6, adapted to the number of cover plates, are mounted on the side wall of the tank 1. The sensors 6 sense the movement stroke of the cover plate and are electrically connected to the cylinder in the corresponding control assembly to control the movement or stopping of the cover plate.

[0030] The control components corresponding to the first cover plate 2 include a first cylinder 41, a first slider 42, a first guide rail 43, and a first auxiliary wheel 44.
