Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gel conveying technology, specifically to a container tilting device and a gel feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] After the dry gel is made, it needs to be transferred from the gel container to a downstream container.

[0003] Previously, the commonly used method for transferring dry gel was to suction the dry gel block from the gel container to a downstream container. However, during the suction process, the dry gel block would continuously and violently collide within the delivery pipe of the suction device, causing it to break into small-diameter dry gel particles, many of which were smaller than the standard particle size. Because these gel particles did not meet the size standards, they could not meet subsequent usage requirements and had to be disposed of as waste, resulting in a reduced utilization rate of the dry gel.

[0004] To avoid continuous and violent collisions of the dried gel blocks and to ensure their slow transfer to downstream containers, manual tilting machines are commonly used. Specifically, the gel container is mounted on the manual tilting machine, and the user manually rotates the control panel to slowly tilt the container, causing the dried gel blocks to slide slowly into the downstream container without continuous and violent collisions.

[0005] However, the gel containers containing dry gel blocks are quite heavy. When manually operating a manual flipping machine to flip the gel containers, the user's labor intensity is high, and the flipping efficiency will gradually decrease, which in turn leads to a decrease in the overall transfer efficiency of the dry gel. Utility Model Content

[0033] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will provide a further detailed description. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to explain this utility model and not to limit it. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples of it.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a container flipping device, which includes a frame 1, a controller, and two container flipping mechanisms 2. The frame 1 includes a base frame 11 and two support frames 12. The two support frames 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 11 and spaced apart along the length of the base frame 11, forming a receiving area for accommodating a gel container 3 between the two support frames 12. The two container flipping mechanisms 2 correspond one-to-one with the two support frames 12. The container flipping mechanism 2 includes a container connecting mechanism 21, a flipping drive mechanism 22, and a positioning mechanism 23. The container connecting mechanism 21 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 12 and can be detachably connected to the roller 31 on the side of the gel container 3. The flipping drive mechanism 22 can drive the container connecting mechanism 21 to rotate at a preset speed. The positioning mechanism 23 can connect to or disconnect from the container connecting mechanism 21 to fix the container connecting mechanism 21 or allow the container connecting mechanism 21 to rotate. The controller is connected to the container connecting mechanism 21, the flipping drive mechanism 22 and the positioning mechanism 23 by signal to control the operation of the container connecting mechanism 21, the flipping drive mechanism 22 and the positioning mechanism 23, such as controlling the start or stop of the three.

[0035] Specifically, the gel container 3 is first moved into the receiving area, and the rollers 31 on both sides of the gel container 3 are connected to the two container connecting mechanisms 21 respectively. The controller can control the container connecting mechanism 21 to fix the rollers 31, thereby fixing the gel container 3 to the container flipping mechanism 2. Then, the controller controls the positioning mechanism 23 to disengage from the container connecting mechanism 21, making the container connecting mechanism 21 rotatable. Then, the controller controls the flipping drive mechanism 22 to start, which drives the container connecting mechanism 21 to rotate slowly at a preset speed. The container connecting mechanism 21 drives the gel container 3 to rotate slowly at a preset speed until the opening of the gel container 3 is vertically downward. Then, the flipping drive mechanism 22 continues to drive the container connecting mechanism 21 to rotate slowly at a preset speed. When the gel container 3 returns to the initial state with the opening facing upward, the controller controls the flipping drive mechanism 22 to stop, and the controller controls the positioning mechanism 23 to connect to the container connecting mechanism 21, so that the container connecting mechanism 21 is fixed. Then, the controller controls the container connecting mechanism 21 to release the roller 31 of the gel container 3, so that the connection between the gel container 3 and the container flipping mechanism 2 can be released, and finally the empty gel container 3 can be removed. Of course, another gel container 3 containing dry gel blocks can be installed later.

[0036] In this embodiment, the controller can control the operation of the container connecting mechanism 21, the flipping drive mechanism 22 and the positioning mechanism 23, so that the gel container 3 flips slowly at a preset speed without the need for manual operation to flip the gel container 3, reducing the labor intensity of the user, and the flipping efficiency remains stable and efficient, thereby improving the overall transfer efficiency of the dry gel.

[0037] In addition, as the container connecting mechanism 21 drives the gel container 3 to rotate slowly at a preset speed, the dry gel block in the gel container 3 will slowly tilt and slide down into the downstream container. The movement of the dry gel block is relatively gentle, which avoids continuous violent collisions between the dry gel blocks, thereby avoiding the formation of dry gel particles that do not meet the size standards, thus improving the utilization rate of the dry gel.

[0038] In some embodiments, the base frame 11 and the support frame 12 may be a frame structure connected by multiple connecting rods. In some embodiments, the container connecting mechanism 21 may connect the rollers 31 of the gel container 3 by clamping, pressing or locking.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the container connecting mechanism 21 includes a connecting frame 211 and a clamping mechanism 212. The connecting frame 211 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 12. The power output part of the flipping drive mechanism 22 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the support frame 12. The clamping mechanism 212 is mounted on the connecting frame 211 and faces the receiving area. The clamping mechanism 212 is signal-connected to the controller. The clamping mechanism 212 is configured to clamp or release the roller 31 on the side of the gel container 3. The positioning mechanism 23 can connect to or disconnect from the connecting frame 211 to fix the connecting frame 211 or allow the connecting frame 211 to rotate.

[0040] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 212 can clamp the roller 31 on the side of the gel container 3, so that the clamping mechanism 212 and the roller 31 are firmly connected, thereby facilitating the container connecting mechanism 21 to drive the gel container 3 to rotate. The clamping mechanism 212 can release (or loosen) the roller 31 on the side of the gel container 3 to facilitate the removal of the gel container 3. In addition, the rotation axes of the two connecting brackets 211 coincide and extend along the length direction of the base frame 11.

[0041] Of course, the container connection mechanism 21 can also be any other structural form that can achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, and this utility model does not limit it.

[0042] In some embodiments, the connecting frame 211 may be a frame structure formed by connecting multiple connecting rods.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the clamping mechanism 212 includes a clamping driver 2121, a first support beam 2122, and a second support beam 2123. The first support beam 2122 and the second support beam 2123 are respectively fixedly installed on the connecting frame 211. The first support beam 2122 and the second support beam 2123 are opposite to each other and parallel to each other. When the positioning mechanism 23 is connected to the connecting frame 211, the first support beam 2122 and the second support beam 2123 are vertically spaced apart and extend along the width direction of the base frame 11. The first support beam 2122 is provided with a first stop plate 2124 that can prevent the roller 31 from disengaging, and the second support beam 2123 is provided with a second stop plate 2125 that can stop the roller 31. The second stop plate 2125 and the first stop plate 2124 can clamp and fix the roller 31. The clamping driver 2121 can drive the second support beam 2123 to move toward or away from the first support beam 2122, so as to clamp or release the roller 31; the clamping driver 2121 is signal connected to the controller.

[0044] Specifically, when roller 31 is placed on the first support beam 2122, the first stop plate 2124 can stop roller 31 to prevent it from slipping. The clamping driver 2121 can drive the second support beam 2123 to move towards the first support beam 2122, so that the first and second support beams 2122 and 2123 clamp the two rollers 31. The second stop plate 2125, installed on the second support beam 2123, can be inserted between the two rollers 31. On the one hand, the second stop plate 2125 can stop roller 31 to prevent it from slipping; on the other hand, the second stop plate 2125 and the first stop plate 2124 can clamp the roller 31 located between them. When the clamping driver 2121 drives the second support beam 2123 away from the first support beam 2122, the gel container 3 can be removed or detached. Preferably, the first and second support beams 2122 and 2123 are linearly extending strip-shaped components.

[0045] Of course, the clamping mechanism 212 can also be any other structural form that can achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, and this utility model does not impose any restrictions.

[0046] In some embodiments, the clamping driver 2121 may be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder, etc., and the present invention does not impose any limitations.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the side of the first stop plate 2124 facing the roller 31 is configured as an arc shape that can be adapted to the roller 31, and the side of the second stop plate 2125 facing the roller 31 is configured as an arc shape that can be adapted to the roller 31.

[0048] Specifically, one side of the first stop plate 2124 faces the roller 31, so this side can be pressed tightly against the roller 31. The second stop plate 2125 can be inserted between the two rollers 31, so both sides of the second stop plate face the two rollers 31 respectively, and these two sides can be pressed tightly against the rollers 31 respectively, so that the first stop plate 2124 and the second stop plate 2125 can further clamp the rollers 31 between them, so that the gel container 3 is firmly fixed. Preferably, the first stop plate 2124 and the second stop plate 2125 are flat pieces.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the clamping driver 2121 is connected to the middle of the second support beam 2123 via a worm gear screw jack 213. Two guide rods 2126 are fixedly installed on the second support beam 2123, and the two guide rods 2126 move through the connecting frame 211. The worm gear screw jack 213 is located between the two guide rods 2126.

[0050] Specifically, the clamping actuator 2121 is a clamping drive motor. The output shaft of the clamping drive motor is connected to the worm of the worm gear screw jack 213, and the screw joint of the worm gear screw jack 213 is connected to the middle of the second support beam 2123. The clamping drive motor can drive the worm to rotate, the worm drives the worm wheel of the worm gear screw jack 213 to rotate, the worm wheel can make the screw rise and fall, and the screw drives the second support beam 2123 to move. Of course, the worm gear screw jack 213 is a common device in the field, and its structure and principle will not be described in detail in this utility model. In addition, due to the provision of two guide rods 2126, the two sides of the second support beam 2123 can also move synchronously and stably along its length.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting frame 211 includes a first frame 2111, a second frame 2112, and a third frame 2113. The third frame 2113 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 12. The first frame 2111 and the second frame 2112 are fixedly mounted on the third frame 2113. The first frame 2111 and the second frame 2112 are spaced apart from each other and parallel to each other. The first support beam 2122 is mounted on the first frame 2111. A mounting plate 2114 is mounted on the side of the second frame 2112 facing the first frame 2111. The clamping driver 2121 and the worm gear screw jack 213 are mounted on the mounting plate 2114. The guide rod 2126 moves through the mounting plate 2114.

[0052] Specifically, the first frame 2111, the second frame 2112, and the third frame 2113 are connected to form a generally U-shaped structure with the opening facing the receiving area. A first support beam 2122 is installed on the side of the first frame 2111 facing the second frame 2112, and a mounting plate 2114 is installed on the side of the second frame 2112 facing the first frame 2111. A second support beam 2123 is located between the first support beam 2122 and the mounting plate 2114. The screw joint of the worm gear screw jack 213 is connected to the middle of the side of the second support beam 2123 facing the mounting plate 2114. Of course, the screw of the worm gear screw jack 213 moves through the second frame 2112 and the mounting plate 2114 to facilitate screw movement.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first frame 2111, the second frame 2112, and the third frame 2113 are frame structures connected by multiple connecting rods.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the container connecting mechanism 21 further includes a connecting plate 214, which is connected to the third frame 2113. The first support beam 2122 and the second support beam 2123 are spaced apart from the connecting plate 214 along the length of the base frame 11. The connecting plate 214 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 12, and the power output part of the tilting drive mechanism 22 is connected to the middle part of the connecting plate 214. Specifically, the tilting drive mechanism 22 can drive the connecting plate 214 to rotate, and the connecting plate 214 drives the connecting frame 211 to rotate.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the container connecting mechanism 21 further includes a connecting shaft 215. One end of the connecting shaft 215 is connected to the middle of the connecting disc 214, and the connecting shaft 215 is connected to the top of the support frame 12 through a plurality of spaced bearing seats 216. The tilting drive mechanism 22 includes a tilting drive motor 221 and a reducer 222. The other end of the connecting shaft 215 is connected to the power output part of the reducer 222, and the power input part of the reducer 222 is connected to the power output part of the tilting drive motor 221. The reducer 222 is mounted on the top of the support frame 12, and the tilting drive motor 221 is connected to the controller via a signal connection.

[0056] Specifically, the tilting drive motor 221 can drive the connecting frame 211 to rotate via the reducer 222 and the connecting shaft 215. The controller can control the start, stop, and operating speed of the tilting drive motor 221. The reducer 222 is a common device in the art, and its structure and principle will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Of course, the flipping drive mechanism 22 can also be any other structural form that can achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, and this utility model does not impose any restrictions. In addition, the connecting frame 211 can also be rotated in any other way, and this utility model does not impose any restrictions.

[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the positioning mechanism 23 includes a positioning plate 231 and a positioning drive mechanism 232. The positioning plate 231 is located below the connecting frame 211, and the positioning drive mechanism 232 is mounted on the support frame 12. The positioning drive mechanism 232 is signal-connected to the controller. The positioning drive mechanism 232 can drive the positioning plate 231 to move in the vertical direction so that the positioning plate 231 can press against the connecting frame 211 or detach from the connecting frame 211.

[0059] Specifically, the positioning drive mechanism 232 can drive the positioning plate 231 to move toward or away from the connecting frame 211. When the positioning drive mechanism 232 drives the positioning plate 231 toward the connecting frame 211, and the positioning plate 231 presses against the connecting frame 211, for example, against the first frame 2111 or the second frame 2112, the positioning plate 231 is connected to the connecting frame 211. At this time, the connecting frame 211 is positioned and fixed, and the operation of installing or removing the gel container 3 can be performed. When the positioning drive mechanism 232 drives the positioning plate 231 away from the connecting frame 211, and the positioning plate 231 is disconnected from the connecting frame 211, the connecting frame 211 is in a rotatable state.

[0060] In some embodiments, the positioning drive mechanism 232 may be an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the support frame 12, and the piston rod of the electric cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the positioning plate 231, thereby enabling the positioning plate 231 to move.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the positioning drive mechanism 232 includes a positioning drive motor 2322 and a lead screw module 2321. Both the housing of the lead screw module 2321 and the positioning drive motor 2322 are mounted on the support frame 12. The output shaft of the positioning drive motor 2322 is connected to the lead screw of the lead screw module 2321. The lead screw nut of the lead screw module 2321 is connected to the positioning plate 231. The positioning drive motor 2322 drives the lead screw of the lead screw module 2321 to rotate, so that the lead screw nut of the lead screw module 2321 can drive the positioning plate 231 to move. The lead screw module 2321 is a common device in the art, and its structure and principle will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the lead screw of the lead screw module 2321 is parallel to the output shaft of the positioning drive motor 2322. The end of the lead screw of the lead screw module 2321 is provided with a sprocket, and the output shaft of the positioning drive motor 2322 is provided with a sprocket. The two sprockets are connected by a transmission chain. The positioning drive motor 2322 drives the lead screw of the lead screw module 2321 to rotate through the transmission chain.

[0062] Of course, the positioning mechanism 23 can also be any other structural form that can achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, and this utility model does not impose any restrictions.

[0063] In some embodiments, the rotation center line of the connecting frame 211, the axis of the connecting shaft 215, and the rotation center line of the connecting disk 214 coincide and all extend along the length direction of the base frame 11.

[0064] It should be noted that the flipping drive motor 221, the positioning drive motor 2322, and the clamping drive motor can be any type of motor in the art that can meet the requirements of this utility model.

[0065] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, explains the usage process of the container flipping device of this utility model.

[0066] First, the positioning drive mechanism 232 drives the positioning plate 231 to move towards the connecting frame 211, and the positioning plate 231 presses against the first frame 2111, thereby fixing the connecting frame 211. Then, the clamping drive 2121 drives the second support beam 2123 away from the first support beam 2122. Then, the gel container 3 is moved into the receiving area, and the two rollers 31 of the gel container 3 are placed on the first support beam 2122, with one of the rollers 31 resting against the first stop plate 2124. Then, the clamping drive 2121 drives the second support beam 2123 to move towards the first support beam 2122, and the second support beam 2123 and the first support beam 2122 clamp the two rollers 31, and the second stop plate 2125 is inserted between the two rollers 31 for clamping and stopping. Then, the positioning drive mechanism 232 drives the positioning plate 231 away from the connecting frame 211, thereby putting the connecting frame 211 in a rotatable state. Then, the flip drive motor 221 drives the connecting frame 211 to rotate via the reducer 222 and the connecting shaft 215. The connecting frame 211 drives the gel container 3 to rotate 180° at a preset speed, allowing the dry gel block to slowly slide into the downstream container. Then, the flip drive motor 221 continues to drive the connecting frame 211 to rotate, returning the gel container 3 to its initial state with the opening facing upwards. Then, the positioning drive mechanism 232 drives the positioning plate 231 to press against the first frame 2111, fixing the connecting frame 211. Finally, the clamping driver 2121 drives the second support beam 2123 away from the first support beam 2122, releasing the fixation on the roller 31, and finally removing the gel container 3.
