Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to testing equipment for thermos cups, and more particularly to a temperature measuring machine for the cup body. 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 thermos cups before transferring them to a testing station for temperature measurement. However, the limited number of testing stations, the long transfer and waiting times for the thermos cups, and the high costs result in untimely and inaccurate testing, leading to low testing 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 machine that can quickly complete heating and temperature measurement, is more automated, and has higher efficiency.

[0005] A cup body temperature measuring machine is provided, including a frame, a rotating disk mounted on the frame, a rotating drive mechanism connected to the rotating disk, a mounting frame mounted on the rotating disk, and a plurality of temperature measuring mechanisms mounted on the mounting frame. Each temperature measuring mechanism includes a drive device, a heating device, and a temperature measuring device. The drive device includes a drive component, which is fixed to the mounting frame, and a moving plate is connected to the drive end of the drive component. The heating device includes a plurality of heating tubes, which are fixed to the moving plate and move with the moving plate. Each temperature measuring device includes a plurality of temperature measuring rings, which are positioned below the heating device and fixed to the rotating disk, with each temperature measuring ring corresponding vertically to one of the heating tubes.

[0006] The aforementioned cup temperature measuring machine has at least the following beneficial effects: The rotary drive mechanism can drive the rotating disk to rotate, allowing temperature measuring mechanisms at different positions on the mounting frame to rotate to the loading position, reducing the time spent in the transfer and loading process, facilitating the temperature measurement of multiple sets of insulated cups, and making the temperature measurement loading process more automated and intelligent. The drive device in the temperature measuring mechanism drives the heating tube to move and extend into the cup body for heating, and then measures the temperature of the cup body through the temperature measuring ring, enabling real-time temperature measurement and improving the accuracy of temperature measurement.

[0007] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring machine, the mounting frame is circular or polygonal, and its outer periphery is provided with several detection stations, each equipped with a temperature measuring mechanism. The structure of the mounting frame increases the surface area of ​​its outer periphery, allowing for an increase in the number of temperature measuring mechanisms and improving temperature measuring efficiency.

[0008] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring machine, each detection station is at the same angle to the center of the mounting frame, and each temperature measuring mechanism is equipped with the same number of heating tubes and temperature measuring rings. The consistent angle and structure of each station ensure that the temperature measuring mechanisms at all positions remain aligned when moving to the loading station, facilitating the loading and unloading of insulated cups and improving the efficiency of this process.

[0009] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring machine, the rotary drive device is connected to a rotation angle detector. The rotation angle detector controls the movement angle of the rotary drive device, thereby controlling the movement angle of the rotating disk, ensuring the temperature measuring mechanism can move into position, and making temperature measurement more automated.

[0010] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring machine, a guide plate is fixed on the mounting bracket, and the guide plate is provided with several guide holes. The heating tube moves through the guide holes. Both the guide plate and the guide holes limit the movement of the heating tube, ensuring a stable path for the heating tube during movement and preventing displacement that prevents it from extending into the cup.

[0011] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring machine, a distance sensor is provided on the guide plate, with the distance sensor facing the temperature measuring device. The distance sensor can determine the distance between the guide plate and the cup, thereby controlling the vertical movement of the moving plate to avoid collisions with the insulated cup.

[0012] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring device, the temperature measuring ring has a hollow interior with a receiving space, and several sensing holes are provided on the inner wall of the temperature measuring ring, with the sensing end of the temperature sensor facing inwards from the temperature measuring ring. Multiple temperature sensors can monitor multiple locations on the cup, making the temperature measurement of the cup more comprehensive and accurate.

[0013] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring machine, 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.

[0014] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring machine, the cup sensor is electrically connected to the rotary drive mechanism. When the cup sensor detects that there is no cup in the temperature measuring ring or that the cup is full, an electrical signal is transmitted to the rotary drive mechanism, causing the rotating disk to rotate. This ensures that the temperature measuring mechanism can arrive at or leave the feeding position in a timely manner, improving the automation of the feeding process.

[0015] In some embodiments of the aforementioned cup temperature measuring machine, a heat insulation cover is provided outside the heating device. The heat insulation cover can shield the heating tube outside the cup, preventing accidental contact and reducing accidents, while also reducing heat loss and improving heating efficiency.

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.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A cup body temperature measuring machine is disclosed, including a frame 100, a rotating disk 110 is provided on the frame 100, the rotating disk 110 is connected to a rotation drive mechanism, a mounting frame 120 is provided on the rotating disk 110, and a plurality of temperature measuring mechanisms are provided on the mounting frame 120.

[0025] 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. At this position on the frame 100, workers or robots put the thermos cups into the temperature measuring mechanism for temperature measurement, or the thermos cups that have been temperature measured are put into the conveying device.

[0026] After the temperature measuring machine is started, the rotary drive mechanism drives the rotating disk 110 to rotate, allowing temperature measuring mechanisms at different positions on the mounting bracket 120 to rotate to the loading position on the frame 100. This allows for the direct placement or removal of insulated cups at this loading position. This reduces the time spent on transfer and loading processes, enabling the loading and unloading of multiple sets of insulated cups at once, making the temperature measuring loading process more automated and intelligent. The drive device 200 in the temperature measuring mechanism drives the heating tube 310 to extend into the cup body for heating. The temperature is then measured by the temperature measuring ring 410, enabling real-time temperature measurement and improving accuracy.

[0027] See attached document Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotating disk 110 is located at the center of the frame 100. The mounting frame 120 is hexagonal, and its center coincides with the center of the rotating disk 110. When the rotating disk 110 rotates, the mounting frame 120 rotates coaxially. Based on the hexagonal shape of the mounting frame 120, six detection stations are arranged on its outer periphery, each with a temperature measuring mechanism. In some other embodiments, the mounting frame 120 can also be octagonal, circular, or other shapes, depending on the size of the frame 100 or the size of the temperature measuring mechanism. The mounting frame 120 simply needs multiple outer peripheral surfaces to accommodate the temperature measuring mechanism. The structure of the mounting frame 120 increases the surface area of ​​its outer periphery, allowing for an increase in the number of temperature measuring mechanisms and improving temperature measurement efficiency.

[0028] Furthermore, each testing station is at the same angle to the center of the mounting frame 120, meaning the outer perimeter of the mounting frame 120 is evenly divided into multiple testing stations. The distance and angle between each testing station are the same, and each temperature measuring mechanism is equipped with the same number of heating tubes 310 and temperature measuring rings 410. This ensures that the angle and structure of each station are consistent. When moving to the loading station, the temperature measuring mechanisms at each testing station remain consistent, facilitating the loading or unloading of insulated cups. The consistent number of heating tubes 310 and temperature measuring rings 410 facilitates the addition of mechanical devices for loading and unloading operations, improving the efficiency of this process.

[0029] To further automate the temperature measuring machine, the rotary drive device is electrically connected to a rotation angle detector. The rotation angle detector controls the movement angle of the rotary drive device, thereby controlling the movement angle of the rotating disk and ensuring the temperature measuring mechanism reaches its designated position. The rotary drive device can be a rotary motor, and the angle detector can be located externally to the rotary motor or integrated within the rotary motor.

[0030] The temperature measuring mechanism includes a driving device 200, a heating device 300, and a temperature measuring device 400. The driving device 200 includes a driving component 210, which is fixed on the mounting bracket 120. The driving end of the driving component 210 is connected to a moving plate 220. The heating device includes a plurality of heating tubes 310, which are fixed on the moving plate 220 and move with the moving plate 220. The temperature measuring device 400 includes a plurality of temperature measuring rings 410, which are arranged below the heating device and fixed on a rotating disk. The temperature measuring rings 410 correspond one-to-one with the heating tubes 310.

[0031] In this embodiment, three heating tubes 310 and three temperature sensing rings 410 are configured, with multiple temperature sensing rings 410 mounted on a fixed frame 420. When the temperature measuring mechanism is working, the drive component 210 of the drive device 200 is activated, causing the moving plate 220 to move downwards. Simultaneously, the heating tubes 310 on the moving plate 220 move downwards until they extend into the thermos cup below. During and after the heating process, the temperature sensing rings 410 outside the thermos cup measure the temperature in real time, sensing the temperature outside the thermos cup. The entire temperature measuring assembly can automatically complete the heating and temperature measuring process, making heating and temperature measuring more intelligent and rapid.

[0032] The driving component 210 in the driving device 200 can be a different type of linear motion driving device, such as a hydraulic driving device, a linear motor driving device, or a screw motor driving device, to realize the linear up-and-down movement of the driving end of the driving component 210.

[0033] In order to improve heating efficiency, Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, a heat insulation cover 320 is provided outside the heating device 300. The heat insulation cover 320 can shield the heating tube 310 outside the cup body, prevent accidental contact, reduce accidents, reduce heat loss, and improve heating efficiency.

[0034] refer to Figures 3 to 4In this embodiment, the driving end of the driving device 200 moves up and down along the motion slide rail. A movable plate 220 is fixed on the driving end, and a mounting plate 240 is fixed on the mounting bracket 120. The movable plate 220 is located below the mounting plate 240 and has a through hole. The upper end of the connecting rod 250 passes through the through hole and connects to the mounting plate 240. The lower end of the connecting rod 250 is connected to a guide plate 230. The guide plate 230 has several guide holes, and bearings are installed in the guide holes. The heating tube 310 moves through the bearings in the guide holes. The guide plate 230 is fixed in place, and the heating tube 310 moves through the guide holes and passes through the guide plate 230. Both the guide plate 230 and the guide holes limit the movement of the heating tube 310, ensuring that the movement path of the heating tube 310 is stable and does not shift, and ensuring that the heating tube 310 can extend into the cup body below the driving device 200.

[0035] Furthermore, the guide plate 230 is located above the temperature measuring device 400. In some embodiments not shown, the guide plate 230 is also equipped with a distance sensor, which faces the temperature measuring device 400. The distance sensor can determine the distance between the guide plate 230 and the cup body, thereby controlling the vertical movement distance of the moving plate 220 to avoid collision with the thermos cup.

[0036] refer to Figure 5 In the embodiment described, the temperature measuring ring 410 has a hollow interior with a receiving space. A plurality of sensing holes 412 are provided on the inner wall of the temperature measuring ring 410. The temperature sensor 411 is disposed within the sensing holes 412, facing the center of the temperature measuring ring 410. Multiple temperature sensors 411 can monitor multiple locations on the cup body, making the temperature measurement of the cup body more comprehensive and accurate.

[0037] A cup body sensor 413 is also provided on the inner wall of the temperature measuring ring 410. The sensing end of the cup body sensor 413 extends out of the temperature measuring ring 410 and faces the center of the temperature measuring ring 410. The cup body sensor 413 can detect whether there is a thermos cup inside the temperature measuring ring 410 and provide cup body data when performing temperature monitoring, making the temperature measurement more intelligent.

[0038] The temperature measuring ring 410 is fitted around the outside of the cup body during use. Multiple temperature sensors 411 surround the cup body to simultaneously measure its temperature, ensuring that multiple locations on the cup body can be detected and that the cup's performance in all directions can be monitored, thus improving the accuracy of temperature measurement. Simultaneously, the cup body sensor 413 on the temperature measuring ring 410 detects whether a cup body is inside the ring, facilitating data aggregation and statistics, making the cup body temperature measurement process more intelligent and efficient.

[0039] Furthermore, to improve the automation of temperature measurement, the cup sensor 413 is electrically connected to the rotary drive mechanism. The electrical signal from the cup sensor 413 is sent to the electronic control system, which then commands the rotary drive mechanism to start. When no cup is detected, the rotary disk is controlled to rotate, moving the temperature measuring mechanism to the loading station. Once a cup is detected in the temperature measuring mechanism at the loading station, it automatically rotates to the next processing station. This enables automatic rotation after loading and unloading of the thermos cups, making the process more intelligent.

[0040] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. 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.
