Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a quick-release fixing mechanism for a drip irrigation machine. Background Technology

[0002] The plunger servo drive mechanism is the core mechanism of drip casting machines currently used in the production of chocolate products. It typically includes a plunger, a plunger fixing mechanism, and a servo screw mechanism. The front end of the plunger extends into the plunger cavity located within the distributing valve body of the drip casting machine, while its rear end is fixed by the plunger fixing mechanism. The plunger fixing mechanism is then fixed to the lead screw of the servo screw mechanism, enabling the servo screw mechanism to drive the plunger fixing mechanism and the plunger thereon to move back and forth. This pushes the material in the valve cavity, which is connected to the plunger cavity, into the distribution plate assembly below the distributing valve body, completing the casting operation.

[0003] Existing plunger fixing mechanisms are all frame-type fixing frames. The main body is a rectangular frame consisting of four panels (front, rear, top, and bottom) fixed with screws. The front panel of the rectangular frame is used to fix the plunger by opening a through hole for the rear end of the plunger to pass through, and then screwing locking nuts on the plunger sections on both sides of the through hole to clamp the front panel from both sides, thereby fixing the plunger axially. The rear panel of the rectangular frame is used to connect and fix the lead screw of the servo lead screw mechanism.

[0004] However, in practice, the current design of this plunger fixing mechanism has the following drawbacks:

[0005] Installing the plunger requires first removing the screws to take off the front panel, and then installing the plunger on it. Since the plunger needs to be tightened by screwing nuts from both sides, the operation is time-consuming and cumbersome. In addition, during actual installation, the front panel often has multiple rows of plungers arranged vertically, with each row consisting of 10 to 20 plungers spaced apart. Therefore, workers need to spend a lot of time and effort to carry out the installation, resulting in low plunger assembly efficiency of the equipment and a heavy workload for the workers.

[0006] Similarly, when it is necessary to disassemble, maintain or replace the plunger, there are also disadvantages such as low work efficiency and heavy workload for workers. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem mentioned in the background art regarding the inconvenience of plunger installation and disassembly in existing plunger fixing mechanisms, and to provide a quick-installation plunger fixing mechanism for drip irrigation machines, which can improve the efficiency of plunger installation and disassembly and reduce the burden on workers.

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model is: a quick-release fixing mechanism for a plunger of a drip irrigation machine, comprising a rectangular frame and a plurality of plungers. The rectangular frame includes a front panel and a rear panel, the rear panel being used to connect the lead screw of the servo lead screw mechanism of the drip irrigation machine; characterized in that the rectangular frame further includes an upper clamping plate and a lower clamping plate, both of which are locked together with butterfly nut bolts to clamp the front panel and the rear panel; simultaneously, a quick-release bracket for fixing the plungers is provided at the front of the front panel, the quick-release bracket including a plunger positioning plate and a plunger limiting insert plate, the plunger positioning plate being placed... The lower clamp plate is located at the front of the front panel. The plunger positioning plate is provided with a positioning hole for the plunger end to be inserted, and the plunger is provided with a limiting journal exposed in front of the positioning hole. The plunger limiting insert plate is inverted L-shaped, with a longitudinal part and a transverse part. The longitudinal part is attached to the front of the plunger positioning plate, while the transverse part is located on the upper part of the plunger positioning plate and is clamped and tightened together with the plunger positioning plate by the upper clamp plate and the lower clamp plate. The lower part of the longitudinal part has an inverted U-groove that mates with the limiting journal on the plunger, which is used to insert into the limiting journal to axially lock the plunger.

[0009] Furthermore, in this utility model, the left and right sides of the horizontal portion of the plunger limiting insert plate extend out of the upper clamping plate to form an extension portion. A plate locking screw is longitudinally inserted through the extension portion. The plate locking screw cooperates with the screw hole provided on the top of the plunger positioning plate to press the extension portions on both sides of the horizontal portion of the plunger limiting insert plate tightly onto the top of the plunger positioning plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the quick-install bracket described in this utility model also includes a base plate fixed to the bottom of the plunger positioning plate by a positioning plate locking screw. The base plate is provided with a slot located at the front of the plunger positioning plate for the bottom end of the longitudinal part of the plunger limiting insert to be inserted.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper clamping plate of this utility model is provided with two upper slots for the top of the front panel and the rear panel to be respectively embedded.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower clamping plate of this utility model is provided with two lower recesses for the bottom of the front panel and the rear panel to be embedded respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, in this utility model, the plungers are arranged in two rows, one above the other, with each row consisting of several plungers arranged at equal intervals laterally, and the positioning holes on the plunger positioning plate correspond one-to-one with the number of plungers.

[0014] Furthermore, in this utility model, the plunger positioning plate and the front panel are locked together by connecting screws.

[0015] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0016] The rectangular frame in this invention uses upper and lower clamping plates and butterfly bolts to clamp the front and rear panels, making disassembly of the front and rear panels very convenient. Furthermore, it features a quick-release bracket. This bracket uses a plunger positioning plate to position the plunger end, and a plunger limiting plate, clamped together with the plunger positioning plate by the upper and lower clamping plates, locks the plunger axially. Compared to conventional technology, there is no need to use nuts on both sides of the plunger for locking, thus making the plunger assembly and disassembly operations very simple and convenient, effectively improving plunger assembly efficiency and reducing the workload of workers.

The plunger positioning plate 7 is provided with a positioning hole 701 for the end of the plunger 1 to be inserted, and the plunger 1 is provided with a limiting journal 101 exposed in front of the positioning hole 701. The plunger limiting insert plate 8 is inverted L-shaped, with a longitudinal part 801 and a transverse part 802. The longitudinal part 801 is attached to the front of the plunger positioning plate 7, while the transverse part 802 is located on the upper part of the plunger positioning plate 7 and is clamped and tightened together with the plunger positioning plate 7 by the upper clamping plate 4 and the lower clamping plate 5. The lower part of the longitudinal part 801 has an inverted U-groove 801a that mates with the limiting journal 101 on the plunger 1, which is used to insert into the limiting journal 101 to axially lock the plunger 1.

[0024] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the left and right sides of the horizontal portion 802 of the plunger limiting insert plate 8 extend out of the upper clamping plate 4 to form extension portions.
