Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a thermos cup testing device, and more particularly to a cup body temperature measuring platform. Background Technology

[0002] A thermos flask is generally a water-filled container made of ceramic or stainless steel with a vacuum layer. After production, the thermos flask needs to be placed in a heating chamber and heated to a certain temperature. The quality of the vacuum insulation is judged by sensing the temperature of the outside of the thermos flask. Temperature measurement is an essential step in the production process of thermos flasks.

[0003] Typically, temperature measurement involves heating multiple insulated cups before transferring them to the testing station for temperature measurement. A common method is to activate all temperature sensors after all the cups in a batch are placed in position, measuring the temperature of each cup. While this method allows for testing more cups at once, the long loading and waiting times result in less timely and accurate testing, ultimately leading to low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome at least one of the technical problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a cup temperature measuring station that can perform temperature measurement in batches, is more automated, has a shorter waiting time, and is more efficient.

[0005] A cup body temperature measuring stage is provided, including a frame, a rotatable rotating disk on the frame, a rotating drive mechanism connected to the rotating disk, and several sets of temperature measuring mechanisms on the rotating disk. Each set of temperature measuring mechanisms includes a fixed frame, and several temperature measuring rings are arranged inside the fixed frame. Multiple temperature sensors are arranged on the inner wall of the temperature measuring rings. Each set of temperature measuring mechanisms is evenly spaced on the rotating disk, so that the angle between each fixed frame is the same.

[0006] The aforementioned cup temperature measuring station has at least the following beneficial effects: the rotary drive mechanism can drive the rotating disk to rotate, allowing the temperature measuring mechanisms at different positions on the rotating disk to rotate to the loading position. The temperature measuring mechanisms are evenly distributed, and each mechanism moves in the same amount of time, facilitating unified operation of the loading process and making the temperature measuring loading process more automated and intelligent. Temperature measurement can be performed as soon as the thermos cup is placed in the temperature measuring device; the measurement is completed after one rotation of the rotating disk, reducing time spent on transfer and loading processes.

[0007] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring station, the fixing frame includes a support rod and a fixing panel, and the height of the support rod is adjustable. Adjusting the height of the support rod can adjust the height of the temperature measuring ring, allowing temperature measuring rings of different heights to be adapted to cups of different heights for temperature measurement, and also providing a limit for cups of different heights.

[0008] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring station, a robotic arm is mounted on the station frame, and the robotic arm is equipped with a gripping mechanism. The number and arrangement of the grippers on the gripping mechanism are consistent with the temperature measuring rings within each fixed frame. The robotic arm can automatically grip the insulated cups, remove those that have already been measured, and then place untested insulated cups inside, achieving automatic loading and unloading for temperature measurement and improving the efficiency of this process.

[0009] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring station, the robotic arm includes a vertical drive mechanism and a rotary drive mechanism. The rotary drive mechanism is fixed to the moving end of the vertical drive mechanism, and a connecting arm is connected to the output end of the rotary drive mechanism. The gripping mechanism is fixed to the end of the connecting arm. The robotic arm can move in both horizontal and vertical planes, exhibiting high flexibility. It can automatically grip insulated cups of different heights and perform rapid loading and unloading, making the process more intelligent and efficient.

[0010] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring station, each temperature sensor is evenly spaced, with the sensing end of the sensor facing inwards towards the temperature measuring ring. Multiple temperature sensors can monitor multiple locations on the cup, and the even spacing ensures that the entire circumference of the cup is covered, resulting in more comprehensive and accurate temperature measurement.

[0011] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring station, a cup sensor is also provided on the inner wall of the temperature measuring ring, with the sensing end of the cup sensor facing inwards from the temperature measuring ring. The cup sensor can detect whether there is a thermos cup inside the temperature measuring ring and provides cup data during temperature monitoring, making the temperature measurement more intelligent.

[0012] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring station, the cup sensor is electrically connected to the rotary drive mechanism and the robotic arm. The cup sensor can determine whether there is a thermos cup inside the temperature measuring ring, and transmits electrical signals through the rotary drive mechanism and the robotic arm, thereby controlling the operation of the rotating disk and the robotic arm to achieve automatic loading and unloading, intelligent control, and automatic operation, thus improving the efficiency of temperature measurement.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A cup body temperature measuring station is disclosed, including a frame 100, a rotatable rotating disk 110 is provided on the frame 100, the rotating disk 110 is connected to a rotation drive mechanism, and a plurality of temperature measuring mechanisms 200 are provided on the rotating disk 110.

[0022] A loading position is set on one side of the frame 100. The thermos cups that have not been temperature measured are transported to this position. After the temperature measurement program is started, the rotary drive mechanism is started to drive the rotary disk 110 to rotate, so that the temperature measuring mechanisms at different positions on 120 can rotate to the loading position of the frame 100. At this position on the frame 100, the thermos cups are placed into the temperature measuring mechanism by workers or robots.

[0023] Each temperature measuring mechanism includes a fixed frame 210, within which several temperature measuring rings 220 are arranged. Multiple temperature sensors 221 are installed on the inner wall of each temperature measuring ring 220. Each temperature measuring mechanism is evenly spaced on the rotating disk 110, ensuring that the angles between each fixed frame 210 are the same. The temperature measuring rings 220 not only measure the temperature of the cup in real time but also limit the position of the insulated cup during the movement of the rotating disk 110, preventing the cup from tipping over.

[0024] After the thermos cup is placed into the temperature measuring mechanism, temperature measurement begins immediately. Simultaneously, the rotating disk 110 continues to rotate, and the next batch of thermos cups is placed into the next temperature measuring mechanism. Once the rotating disk 110 has completed one rotation, the temperature measuring process is complete. At this point, the thermos cups that have completed temperature measurement are removed from the loading position, and the above loading steps are repeated. The loading, temperature measuring, and unloading processes can be completed on this temperature measuring platform. Multiple sets of thermos cups can be loaded and unloaded at once, making the temperature measuring loading process more automated and intelligent. Furthermore, temperature measurement can be performed as soon as the thermos cup is placed in the temperature measuring device, making the measurement more timely. Temperature measurement is completed after one rotation of the rotating disk 110, reducing time spent in the transfer and loading processes and further improving operational efficiency.

[0025] To broaden the applicability of the temperature measuring station to insulated cups, the mounting bracket 210 includes a fixed panel 212 and several support rods 211. The fixed panel 212 is mounted on the rotating disk 110 via the support rods 211. The height of the support rods 211 is adjustable. The support rods 211 can be hydraulic rods, fixed to the rotating disk 110 via threads, or have telescopic adjustment capabilities, allowing for various height variations to suit different needs. Adjusting the height of the support rods 211 adjusts the height of the temperature measuring ring 220, enabling different heights of the temperature measuring ring 220 to accommodate cups of varying heights and providing a limit for cups of different heights.

[0026] See attached document Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the first embodiment, the rotating disk 110 is provided with six temperature measuring mechanisms. Each temperature measuring mechanism includes a fixing frame 210, and three temperature measuring rings 220 are fixed inside the fixing frame 210. The fixing frames 210 of the six temperature measuring mechanisms are arranged around the outer periphery of the rotating disk 110 to form a regular hexagon.

[0027] Reference Appendix Figure 3 In the second embodiment, the rotating disk 110 is provided with six temperature measuring mechanisms. Each temperature measuring mechanism includes a fixing frame 210, and two temperature measuring rings 220 are fixed inside the fixing frame 210. The fixing frames 210 of the six temperature measuring mechanisms are arranged radially along the rotating disk 110 and are distributed at intervals on the rotating disk 110.

[0028] In other embodiments not shown, the fixing frame 210 may also be triangular in shape, with each fixing frame 210 symmetrically arranged around the center of the rotating disk 110. Alternatively, the fixing frame 210 may be a single integral structure, with multiple side branches extending from it, each side branch distributed along the radius of the rotating disk 110. The structure of the fixing frame 210 is not limited, but the angle between adjacent fixing frames 210 is the same, meaning the rotating disk 110 is evenly divided into multiple temperature measuring stations, with the same distance and angle between each station, and each station having the same number of temperature measuring rings 220. This ensures that the number of insulated cups in each temperature measuring interval is consistent, and the temperature measuring time in each interval is consistent, guaranteeing the effectiveness of the temperature measurement.

[0029] Reference Appendix Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, a robotic arm 120 is mounted on the platform 100, and a gripping mechanism is mounted on the robotic arm 120. The number and arrangement of the grippers 122 on the gripping mechanism are consistent with the temperature measuring rings 220 within each fixed frame 210. The robotic arm 120 can automatically grip thermos cups, remove thermos cups that have already been temperature-tested, and then place untested thermos cups in them, realizing automatic loading and unloading for temperature testing and improving the efficiency of this process.

[0030] Reference manual attached Figure 4 The robotic arm 120 includes a vertical drive mechanism and a rotary drive mechanism. The rotary drive mechanism is fixed to the moving end of the vertical drive mechanism, and the output end of the rotary drive mechanism is connected to a connecting arm 121. The gripping mechanism is fixed to the end of the connecting arm 121. The robotic arm 120 can move in both horizontal and vertical planes, exhibiting high flexibility. It can automatically grip thermos cups of different heights and perform rapid loading and unloading, making the process more intelligent and efficient.

[0031] Reference Manual Figure 5 The device is equipped with temperature sensors 221, which are evenly spaced and have their sensing ends facing the interior of the temperature measuring ring 220. Multiple temperature sensors 221 can monitor multiple locations on the cup body, providing a wider temperature measurement range and a more comprehensive temperature measurement structure.

[0032] A cup body sensor 222 is also provided on the inner wall of the temperature measuring ring 220. The sensing end of the cup body sensor 222 extends out of the temperature measuring ring 220 and faces the center of the temperature measuring ring 220. The cup body sensor 222 can detect whether there is a thermos cup inside the temperature measuring ring 220 and provide cup body data when performing temperature monitoring, making the temperature measurement more intelligent.

[0033] Furthermore, to improve the automation of temperature measurement, the cup sensor 222 is electrically connected to the rotary drive mechanism and the robotic arm 120. The cup sensor 222 can determine whether there is a thermos cup inside the temperature measuring ring 220. The cup sensor 222 transmits an electrical signal to the rotary drive mechanism and the robotic arm 120, thereby controlling the operation of the rotary disk and the robotic arm 120. When no cup is detected, the rotary disk 110 is controlled to rotate, moving the temperature measuring mechanism to the loading station. The robotic arm 120 starts loading. After detecting that there is a cup in the temperature measuring mechanism at the loading station, it automatically rotates to the next processing station, improving the automation of the loading process, realizing automatic loading and unloading, intelligent control and automatic operation, and improving the efficiency of temperature measurement.

The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. Other embodiments that can be obtained are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
