Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical material conveying technology, specifically to a small barrel tipping device. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) is a key electrolyte material that plays a crucial role in the lithium battery industry. With the continued growth in global demand for new energy vehicles and energy storage equipment, lithium battery production is also rapidly increasing. This has led to the continuous expansion of LiPF6 production scale as a core raw material. However, in the production, packaging, and transportation of LiPF6, existing packaging lines can only meet the needs of filling small drums.

[0003] However, some customers require the use of large drums for product packaging, so it is necessary to mix different batches of finished products in small drums into large drums.

[0004] The current filling operation involves tilting the small bucket to its side, using an electric hoist to lift it upside down to the top of the large bucket, connecting it via a hose, filling the hose with nitrogen for purging and protection, then opening the large bucket's inlet valve and the small bucket's outlet valve to complete the filling operation.

[0005] However, existing devices have the following problems:

[0006] 1. The tilting operation causes damage to the appearance of the small buckets and deformation in size, resulting in a batch of small buckets being scrapped every quarter, which increases costs;

[0007] 2. Existing technology uses an electric hoist to lift the small bucket, which poses a risk of injury from falling from a height during the lifting process.

[0008] Based on this, the present invention designs a small bucket flipping device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to... Figure 2 The direction of the viewpoint.

[0032] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-3 A bucket tipping device includes a central control module 1, a conveying mechanism 2, a bucket tipping assembly 3, a rotating assembly 4, a vision recognition module 5, an alarm module 6, and a mounting bracket 7.

[0033] The central control module 1 is connected to the conveying mechanism 2, the tipping assembly 3, the rotating assembly 4, the visual recognition module 5, and the alarm module 6. The mounting frame 7 is located on the right side of the conveying mechanism 2. The tipping assembly 3 and the rotating assembly 4 are both installed on the left side of the mounting frame 7. The right side of the tipping assembly 3 is connected to the rotating assembly 4. The upper end of the mounting frame 7 is connected to the alarm module 6, and the lower side of the mounting frame 7 is fixedly connected to the visual recognition module 5.

[0034] The bucket-tilting assembly 3 includes a hydraulic cylinder 31, clamping arms 32, and a small bucket placement rack 33. There are two clamping arms 32, which are symmetrically distributed front and back. The hydraulic cylinder 31 is fixedly installed on the left side of the rotating assembly 4. The first piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the front clamping arm 32, and the second piston rod of the clamping arm 32 is fixedly connected to the rear clamping arm 32. In this way, when the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 31 moves in extension and retraction, it can drive the two clamping arms 32 to open and close. The small bucket placement rack 33 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting frame 7. The hydraulic cylinder 31 is electrically connected to the central control module 1. The detection end of the visual recognition module 5 and the center point of the small bucket placement rack 33 are located on the same center line.

[0035] The hydraulic cylinder 31 is a double-piston hydraulic cylinder, which includes two symmetrically arranged piston chambers and two pistons. Through a synchronous control mechanism, the hydraulic oil flow and pressure of the two piston chambers are precisely controlled to ensure that the movement speed and displacement of the two pistons remain consistent during the contraction and opening process, thereby achieving bidirectional synchronous contraction and opening.

[0036] The clamping arm 32 is shaped like a "C" with the opening facing the left, making it easy to pick up the small bucket from both sides. Both clamping arms 32 are made of aluminum alloy and are integrally molded. On the inner surface of the clamping arm 32, a layer of anti-slip rubber pad is attached by means of pasting or inlaying. The rubber pad has fine anti-slip texture to achieve the anti-slip effect.

[0037] The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying roller assembly 21, a support frame 22, a grating sensor 23, a cylinder 24, and a positioning plate 25. The left side of the conveying roller assembly 21 is fixedly connected to the support frame 22, the upper end of the support frame 22 is fixedly connected to the grating sensor 23, the cylinder 24 is fixedly installed on the front side of the conveying roller assembly 21, and the output end of the cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 25.

[0038] The conveyor roller assembly 21, the grating sensor 23, and the cylinder 24 are all electrically connected to the central control module 1.

[0039] Two cylinders 24 and two positioning plates 25 are provided and are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the conveying roller assembly 21.

[0040] Effect: The small bucket is placed on the conveyor roller assembly 21 and is conveyed forward on the conveyor roller. The grating sensor 23 detects the position of the small bucket. When the small bucket reaches the positioning plate 25, the grating sensor 23 feeds the signal back to the central control module 1. The central control module 1 controls the cylinder 24 to move. The cylinder 24 pushes the positioning plate 25, so that the position of the small bucket is adjusted, preparing for the subsequent bucket flipping operation.

[0041] When the conveyor roller assembly 21 conveys the small bucket to the middle of the two clamping arms 32, after receiving the instruction from the central control module 1, the hydraulic cylinder 31 uses hydraulic oil to drive the piston to move. The two piston rods simultaneously drive the two clamping arms 32 to open, and the small bucket enters between the clamping arms 32. Then the hydraulic cylinder 31 moves in the opposite direction, and the clamping arms 32 close to clamp the small bucket.

[0042] The rotating assembly 4 includes a motor 41 and a rotating shaft 42. The motor 41 is located at the rear end of the mounting frame 7 and is fixedly installed on the upper left side of the mounting frame 7. The output end of the motor 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 42, and the other end of the rotating shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the upper front side of the mounting frame 7. The left side of the rotating shaft 42 is rigidly connected to the hydraulic cylinder 31 through a flange structure to ensure that the two are tightly connected and can rotate synchronously.

[0043] The motor 41 is electrically connected to the central control module 1.

[0044] Effect: Motor 41 starts, driving the rotating shaft 42 to rotate. The rotating shaft 42 drives the hydraulic cylinder 31, clamping arm 32, and small bucket to rotate together, flipping the small bucket from the conveying roller assembly 21 onto the small bucket placement rack 33. The small bucket changes from an upright state to an inverted state. The vision recognition module 5 detects the position of the valve of the small bucket and acquires an image of the valve. The image information is transmitted to the image processing unit in the central control module 1. The image processing unit analyzes and processes the image to determine the coordinate information of the valve of the small bucket, completing this stage of operation. The next step can then be carried out. For example, based on the coordinate information of the valve of the small bucket, the robotic arm connects the valve connecting pipe of the large bucket to the valve of the small bucket, realizing the filling of materials from the small bucket and the large bucket.

[0045] The visual recognition module 5 uses existing mature technologies, such as a camera.

[0046] The alarm module 6 includes an alarm light 61, a buzzer 62, and a mounting plate 63. The mounting plate 63 is fixedly installed on the upper right side of the mounting bracket 7. The alarm light 61 and the buzzer 62 are both fixedly installed on the front side of the mounting plate 63. The alarm light 61 and the buzzer 62 are both electrically connected to the central control module 1.

[0047] Effect: During equipment operation, the central control module 1 monitors the working status of each component in real time, such as the current of motor 41, the pressure of hydraulic cylinder 31, and the signal of grating sensor 23. When an abnormality is detected, such as motor 41 overload, hydraulic cylinder 31 failure, or excessive deviation in the position of the small bucket conveyor, the central control module 1 controls the alarm light 61 to light up, and at the same time the buzzer 62 sounds an alarm to remind the operator that the equipment has malfunctioned and needs to be checked and handled.

[0048] When in use, this utility model, through the cooperation of the grating sensor 23 and the positioning plate 25, and the precise control of the actions of each component by the central control module 1, can ensure that the small bucket is accurately positioned at each stage, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent operations and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the entire process.

[0049] This invention avoids the use of electric hoists for lifting. The structure and control system of this equipment can clamp and flip the small bucket, effectively avoiding damage to the appearance and deformation of the bucket, and reducing production costs.

[0050] The entire process requires no human intervention. All operations, such as conveying, positioning, flipping, and visual recognition of the small buckets, are completed automatically by the equipment, which greatly improves production efficiency and automation level, and reduces the intensity of manual labor and human error.

[0051] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
