Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of autoclave technology, and in particular to a feeding device for an autoclave. Background Technology

[0002] Autoclaves are large-scale steam curing equipment with a wide range of applications. They can be used for steam curing sand-lime bricks, fly ash bricks, aerated concrete blocks, high-strength cement poles, pipe piles and other cement products. They are also suitable for industries such as timber, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, glass, insulation materials, rubber, and poultry and livestock sterilization.

[0003] The existing technology mainly achieves feeding through the following method: the autoclave lid is opened, and a feeding device is manually pushed and placed on the outside of the autoclave inlet. The material is then fed into the autoclave through this feeding device (a track also exists inside the autoclave). After the material is fed in, the feeding device is manually removed; otherwise, the lid cannot be closed. The whole process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the deficiencies of the prior art by providing a feeding device for an autoclave, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] A feeding device for an autoclave includes two guide rails, on which a movable frame is slidably mounted. A transmission seat is installed at the bottom of the movable frame, and the transmission seat is connected to a drive assembly for driving the movable frame to move along the guide rails. Two opposing transmission rails are also fixed on the movable frame. A transmission rail is hinged to one end of the transmission rail. A connecting shaft is hinged to the bottom of the transmission rail via a hinge seat. A cylinder is also installed at the bottom of the movable frame. A connecting plate is fixed at the output end of the cylinder. The connecting plate is hinged to the bottom of the connecting shaft via a hinge seat.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the laying can be completed automatically. After the material is fed in, the second conveyor rail can be automatically retracted to facilitate closing the autoclave lid, saving manpower and time and improving efficiency.

[0007] The drive assembly includes a motor and a lead screw, which are disposed between two guide rails. The lead screw passes through the transmission seat and is connected to the transmission seat for transmission.

[0008] The above technical solution is used to move the mobile frame to the corresponding autoclave position.

[0009] The movable frame has a slot located below the second conveyor rail, and the width of the slot is set to be one-quarter of the width of the movable frame.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the connecting shaft can push and pull the second transmission rail normally.

[0011] The two sides of the mobile frame are provided with slots at the middle of the bottom end corresponding to the position of the transmission seat. When the lead screw is connected to the transmission seat, the lead screw is located at the slot.

[0012] The above technical solution facilitates the movement of the mobile frame.

[0013] The first conveyor rail is completely fixed to the movable frame, and when the second conveyor rail is unfolded and attached to the movable frame, one end of it extends out of the surface of the movable frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the second conveyor track can be aligned with the track of the autoclave.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the feeding device for the autoclave of this utility model are:

[0016] The drive motor drives the lead screw, which in turn drives the moving frame to move along the guide rail via the transmission seat. Once the moving frame reaches the corresponding set of autoclave ports, the first conveyor rail aligns with the external conveying track, and the drive cylinder pushes the connecting plate downwards. The connecting plate then pulls the second conveyor rail via the connecting shaft until the second conveyor rail is laid flat on the moving frame. The other end of the second conveyor rail aligns with the track inside the autoclave, allowing the material to be conveyed to this device via the external conveying track and then fed into the autoclave. This device can automatically complete the laying process when the material enters the autoclave, and automatically retract the second conveyor rail after the material is fed in, facilitating the closing of the autoclave lid, saving manpower and time, and improving efficiency.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-3 A feeding device for an autoclave includes two guide rails 1, a movable frame 4 is slidably mounted on the two guide rails 1, a transmission seat 5 is mounted on the bottom of the movable frame 4, the transmission seat 5 is connected to a drive assembly for driving the movable frame 4 to move along the guide rails 1, two opposing transmission rails 6 are also fixed on the movable frame 4, a transmission rail 7 is hinged at one end of the transmission rail 6, a connecting shaft 11 is hinged at the bottom of the transmission rail 7 through a hinge seat 10, a cylinder 8 is also mounted at the bottom of the movable frame 4, a connecting plate 9 is fixed at the output end of the cylinder 8, and the connecting plate 9 is hinged to the bottom of the connecting shaft 11 through a hinge seat 12.

[0023] The drive motor 2 drives the lead screw 3, which drives the moving frame 4 to move along the guide rail 1 through the transmission seat 5. After the moving frame 4 moves to the corresponding set of autoclave ports, the first conveyor rail 6 corresponds to the external conveying track, which drives the cylinder 8 to push the connecting plate 9 downward. At this time, the connecting plate 9 pulls the second conveyor rail 7 through the connecting shaft 11 until the second conveyor rail 7 is laid flat on the moving frame 4. The other end of the second conveyor rail 7 corresponds to the track inside the autoclave, so that the material can be transported to the device through the external conveying track and then sent into the autoclave.

[0024] This device can automatically lay materials when they enter the autoclave. After the materials are fed in, the conveyor rail 27 can be automatically retracted to facilitate closing the autoclave lid, saving manpower and time and improving efficiency.

[0025] The drive assembly includes a motor 2 and a lead screw 3. The motor 2 and the lead screw 3 are disposed between two guide rails 1. The lead screw 3 passes through the transmission seat 5 and is connected to the transmission seat 5 for transmission.

[0026] When conveying and removing materials, a feeding device is needed to temporarily place them between the external conveying track and the internal track of the autoclave. To ensure the autoclave lid closes properly, the feeding device needs to be retracted. Therefore, this process is labor-intensive and inefficient. However, by using motor 2 to drive the lead screw 3, the moving frame 4 can be moved to the corresponding position at the autoclave. Then, the second conveyor track 7 can be unfolded to achieve automatic docking and facilitate the retraction of the second conveyor track 7 so that the autoclave lid can close properly.

[0027] A slot 401 is provided on the movable frame 4 below the second conveyor rail 7. The width of the slot 401 is set to be one-quarter of the width of the movable frame 4. The width of the slot 401 is set wide enough to ensure that the second conveyor rail 7 has enough space to move during the pushing and pulling process of the connecting shaft 11, so as to ensure that the second conveyor rail 7 is driven normally.

[0028] The bottom center of both sides of the movable frame 4 is provided with slots corresponding to the position of the transmission seat 5. When the lead screw 3 is connected to the transmission seat 5, the lead screw 3 is located at the slot. The transmission seat 5 is located at the bottom center of the movable frame 4. The openings on both sides of the movable frame 4 are also located at the center. After the lead screw 3 passes through the slot, it can be normally connected to the transmission seat 5 for transmission.

[0029] Conveyor rail 6 is completely fixed to the movable frame 4. When conveyor rail 7 is unfolded and attached to the movable frame 4, one end of it extends out of the surface of the movable frame 4. After unfolding, conveyor rail 7 can be inserted into the autoclave and is set to correspond with the rail in the autoclave. It is also convenient to retract conveyor rail 7 later. It should be noted that since conveyor rail 6 is fixed to the movable frame 4, and conveyor rail 7 is hinged to the end of conveyor rail 6, in order to ensure that conveyor rail 7 can rotate normally, the longitudinal length of conveyor rail 7 is set to be less than the longitudinal length of conveyor rail 6. In addition, a support block is set at the bottom of conveyor rail 7 to ensure that conveyor rail 7 is in a horizontal state after unfolding.

[0030] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
