Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle tipping technology, specifically relating to a gas meter vehicle tipping device. Background Technology

[0002] A gas meter is a device that measures the amount of gas. During the assembly process, the gas meter housing is typically held by a gas meter carrier and then transported to the mounting hole of the lower housing via a differential wheel conveyor line. However, since the carrier is in a horizontal position during transport, workers need to manually flip it and straighten it to a vertical position before it can be installed into the lower housing components and flow into the next production process. Therefore, when assembling gas meters in large quantities, a large amount of manpower is required, and workers will experience soreness from continuously and manually flipping the carrier for a long time, resulting in low flipping efficiency. Based on this, we propose a device that can automatically flip the gas meter carrier. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gas meter carrier tilting device, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a gas meter carrier tilting device, comprising a differential wheel conveyor line, a carrier plate being conveyed on the surface of the differential wheel conveyor line, a mounting base being mounted on the surface of the carrier plate, a carrier body for carrying a gas meter being rotatably mounted inside the mounting base, handrails being mounted on both ends of the carrier body, a stopper being installed inside the differential wheel conveyor line, a photoelectric switch being mounted on the top side of the stopper, a tilting assembly being mounted on the side of the differential wheel conveyor line, the tilting assembly comprising a rotary cylinder, the rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder being connected to one end of a special-shaped lifting rod, the special-shaped lifting rod being used to lift the handrails to tilt the carrier body to a vertical state.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, both ends of the carrier plate are provided with clearance grooves. When the cylinder piston rod of the blocker is in the fully extended state, the blocking wheel of the blocker can abut against the clearance groove. When the blocking wheel of the blocker abuts against the clearance groove, the end of the irregular-shaped cantilever is located directly below the handrail.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, four buffer pillars are installed on the surface of the carrier plate, and support members are installed at the top and bottom of the end of the carrier body. When the support members are in contact with the buffer pillars, the carrier body is in a lying position.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the rotary cylinder has an origin magnetic switch and a flip-in magnetic switch. When the origin magnetic switch is turned on, the irregular-shaped lifting rod is parallel to the differential wheel conveyor line. When the flip-in magnetic switch is turned on, the irregular-shaped lifting rod lifts the handrail to flip the main body of the vehicle to a vertical state.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the blocker, photoelectric switch, and rotary cylinder are all electrically connected to an external PLC controller.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the stopper is a pneumatic stopper for a production line.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the PLC controller is programmed with a delay of 0.5 seconds.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the differential wheel conveyor line transports the carrier tray, and the position of the carrier tray is positioned by a set stopper in conjunction with a photoelectric switch. When the stopper and photoelectric switch detect that the carrier tray is in place, the set flipping component in conjunction with the handrail flips the carrier body, which is in a lying position, to an upright position. Then the stopper descends and the differential wheel conveyor line transports the carrier tray to the next workstation. The above operation is then repeated. The device has a simple structure and can automatically flip the carrier body, which greatly reduces the input of labor costs and effectively improves production efficiency.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-3 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a gas meter carrier tilting device, including a differential wheel conveyor line 1, a carrier plate 2 conveyed on the surface of the differential wheel conveyor line 1, a mounting base 3 mounted on the surface of the carrier plate 2, a carrier body 4 for carrying the gas meter rotatably mounted in the mounting base 3, handrails 5 mounted on both ends of the carrier body 4, a stopper 6 installed inside the differential wheel conveyor line 1, a photoelectric switch 7 mounted on the top side of the stopper 6, and a tilting component 8 mounted on the side of the differential wheel conveyor line 1;

[0019] The flipping assembly 8 includes a rotary cylinder 81, the shaft of which is connected to one end of a special-shaped lever 82. The special-shaped lever 82 is used to flip the handrail 5 to flip the vehicle body 4 to a vertical position.

[0020] In this embodiment, both ends of the carrier plate 2 are provided with relief grooves 9. When the cylinder piston rod of the blocker 6 is in the fully extended state, the blocking wheel of the blocker 6 can abut against the relief groove 9. When the blocking wheel of the blocker 6 abuts against the relief groove 9, the end of the irregular-shaped cantilever rod 82 is located directly below the handrail 5.

[0021] Specifically, by using the clearance groove 9 in conjunction with the stopper 6, when the stopper 6's stopper wheel abuts against the clearance groove 9, the end of the irregularly shaped lever 82 is located just below the handrail 5. Therefore, when the rotary cylinder 81 is working, the handrail 5 can be lifted by the irregularly shaped lever 82 to straighten the vehicle body 4.

[0022] In this embodiment, four buffer pillars 10 are installed on the surface of the carrier 2, and support members 11 are installed at the top and bottom of the end of the carrier body 4. When the support members 11 are in contact with the buffer pillars 10, the carrier body 4 is in a lying position.

[0023] Specifically, when the vehicle body 4 carrying the gas meter is laid flat, the buffer column 10 and the support member 11 can buffer the impact force when the vehicle body 4 is laid flat, so as to avoid direct collision between the vehicle body 4 and the carrier plate 2 and cause damage.

[0024] In this embodiment, the rotary cylinder 81 has an origin magnetic switch and a flip-in magnetic switch. When the origin magnetic switch is turned on, the irregularly shaped lifting rod 82 is parallel to the differential wheel conveyor line 1. When the flip-in magnetic switch is turned on, the irregularly shaped lifting rod 82 lifts the handrail 5 to flip the carrier body 4 to a vertical state.

[0025] Specifically, the rotation angle of the rotary cylinder 81 can be controlled by the set origin magnetic switch and the flip-to-position magnetic switch. When the flip-to-position magnetic switch of the rotary cylinder 81 senses that the irregular lifting rod 82 is in place, it sends a signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the cylinder of the stopper 6 to descend, thereby releasing the blocker 6 from the carrier plate 2, and the carrier flows out.

[0026] In this embodiment, the blocker 6, photoelectric switch 7, and rotary cylinder 81 are all electrically connected to an external PLC controller.

[0027] Specifically, the automatic control of the flipping device is achieved through a PLC controller.

[0028] Working principle: The carrier tray 2 is conveyed to the stopper 6 via the differential wheel conveyor line 1. The carrier tray 2 collides with the stopper 6 and stops. The photoelectric switch 7 senses that the carrier tray 2 is in place and sends a signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller times for 0.5 seconds to confirm that the carrier is in place. The PLC controller sends a signal to open the solenoid valve. The rotary cylinder 81 drives the shaped lifting rod 82 to rotate. The shaped lifting rod 82 lifts the handrail 5 to flip the carrier body 4 to a vertical position. The magnetic switch of the rotary cylinder 81 senses that the shaped lifting rod 82 is in place and then sends a signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller cuts off the output of the solenoid valve, the rotary cylinder 81 resets, the origin magnetic switch detects that the shaped lifting rod 82 is in place, the PLC controller times for 0.5 seconds and then sends a signal to open the solenoid valve of the stopper 6. The stopper 6 descends and then the carrier tray 2 flows out through the differential wheel conveyor line 1. After that, the stopper 6 resets, and all devices return to the origin to start the next cycle.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
