Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elemental analysis technology, and in particular to a fully automatic portable manufacturing device for making tin foil cups. Background Technology

[0002] A foil cup for an elemental analyzer is a consumable used in elemental analysis during mineral detection. It serves as a container for holding solid samples to be analyzed.

[0003] Before sample analysis, the weighed solid sample needs to be wrapped in a foil cup and sent to an elemental analyzer for analysis. During this process, the foil cup used must be a cup-shaped object made of clean foil. Currently, foil cups used in laboratories are generally obtained using two methods: one is by manually pressing and molding each cup individually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, inefficient, and makes it difficult to control the evenness of force, resulting in inconsistent product quality; the other method is to purchase pre-made foil cups produced by a mechanical assembly line, but this has the problem of higher costs.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device for making foil cups to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0038] A foil cup for an elemental analyzer is a consumable used in elemental analysis during mineral detection. It serves as a container for holding solid samples to be analyzed.

[0039] Before sample analysis, the weighed solid sample needs to be wrapped in a foil cup and sent to an elemental analyzer for analysis. During this process, the foil cup used must be a cup-shaped object made of clean foil. Currently, foil cups used in laboratories are generally obtained using two methods: one is by manually pressing and molding each cup individually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, inefficient, and makes it difficult to control the evenness of force, resulting in inconsistent product quality; the other method is to purchase pre-made foil cups produced by a mechanical assembly line, but this has the problem of higher costs.

[0040] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device for making foil cups to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0041] like Figures 1-9As shown, this embodiment provides a fully automatic portable manufacturing device for making tin foil cups, which includes a support mechanism 1, a material handling mechanism 2, a support mechanism 3, and a pressing and unloading mechanism 4. The support mechanism 1 includes a material loading station 11 for supporting raw materials. The material handling mechanism 2 includes a feeding component 21 and a picking component 22. The picking component 22 has a picking end. When the picking end picks up the raw material, the feeding component 21 can drive the picking end to move to move the raw material from the material loading station 11 to the processing station 31. The support mechanism 3 is provided with a processing station 31. The pressing and unloading mechanism 4 includes a pressing drive component 41 and a pressing component 42. The pressing drive component 41 can drive the pressing component 42 to move to press the raw material placed at the processing station 31 into a finished product.

[0042] In this embodiment, the support mechanism 1 includes a material-carrying station 11 for supporting raw materials, facilitating the placement and gripping of raw materials. The material handling mechanism 2 includes a feeding component 21 and a picking component 22. The picking component 22 has a picking end for gripping and placing raw materials. When the picking end grips the raw materials, the feeding component 21 can drive the picking end to move to move the raw materials from the material-carrying station 11 to the processing station 31 on the support mechanism 3, thereby realizing automatic gripping and movement of raw materials, improving production efficiency, and reducing manual intervention. The pressing and unloading mechanism 4 includes a pressing drive component 41 and a pressing component 42. The pressing drive component 41 can drive the pressing component 42 to move to press the raw materials placed at the processing station 31 into finished products, thereby realizing the pressing and shaping of raw materials and ensuring the quality of finished products. Moreover, the overall structure of the fully automatic portable manufacturing device for making tin foil cups is relatively compact, making it convenient for use in the laboratory and solving the problems of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual sample preparation and high cost of using finished tin foil cups. With the above-described configuration, the fully automated portable manufacturing device for producing foil cups in this embodiment can realize the laboratory production of foil cups, improving production efficiency and product quality while reducing costs.

[0043] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the raw material is tin foil sheet, and the finished product is a tin foil cup. The tin foil cup produced by this manufacturing device can meet the requirements of the elemental analyzer. In other embodiments, the raw material is polyurethane, and the finished product is a gasket or sealing plate. It is understood that the fully automatic portable manufacturing device for making tin foil cups in this embodiment can also be applied to other technical fields, and the specific materials of the raw materials and finished products are not limited here.

[0044] The following describes the specific structure of the fully automatic portable device for making aluminum foil cups:

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the support mechanism 1 includes a base and legs. The legs are connected to the base and are rotatably equipped with leveling pads. When the leveling pads rotate, they can adjust the height of the legs to achieve the leveling operation of the support mechanism 1. By rotating the leveling pads to adjust the height of the legs, the support mechanism 1 is ensured to be horizontal, avoiding uneven thickness or deformation of the finished product caused by equipment tilting during the pressing process, thus improving the finished product qualification rate.

[0046] More specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the support mechanism 1 is equipped with a consumable box and a consumable detection sensor 12. The consumable box is configured as a material loading station 11, which is used to place raw materials. The consumable detection sensor 12 can detect whether there are raw materials in the consumable box and feed back a status signal. By setting the consumable detection sensor 12, the amount of raw materials can be monitored in real time to ensure the continuity of the production process and avoid production interruption caused by insufficient raw materials.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the material handling mechanism 2 is mounted on the support mechanism 1 and is slidably and adjustablely connected to the support mechanism 1 in the horizontal direction, so that the material handling mechanism 2 can perform specific actions. This arrangement allows the material handling mechanism 2 to flexibly adjust its position to adapt to different production needs. The material handling mechanism 2 can achieve horizontal sliding adjustment through the cooperation of slide rails or a nut and screw structure, which is not further limited here.

[0048] Specifically, the feeding assembly 21 includes a lifting drive assembly 211 and a rotation drive assembly 212. The output end of the lifting drive assembly 211 is connected to the rotation drive assembly 212 and can drive the rotation drive assembly 212 to lift. The output end of the rotation drive assembly 212 is connected to the pick-up and place end and can drive the pick-up and place end to rotate, thereby realizing the flexible movement of the pick-up and place end in three-dimensional space and accurately moving the raw material from the loading station 11 to the processing station 31.

[0049] More specifically, the lifting drive assembly 211 includes a lifting driver 2111, a first rotating member 2112, a first connecting member 2113, and a first sliding member 2114. The output end of the lifting driver 2111 is connected to the first rotating member 2112, enabling it to rotate. The two ends of the first connecting member 2113 are rotatably connected to the first rotating member 2112 and the first sliding member 2114, respectively. The first sliding member 2114 is slidably connected to the support mechanism 1 in the vertical direction and connected to the rotation drive assembly 212. When the first rotating member 2112 rotates, it drives the first sliding member 2114 to achieve lifting through the first connecting member 2113. That is, the rotational motion is converted into linear lifting motion through a mechanical linkage structure. Compared with traditional cylinder or hydraulic drive, the above structure is more compact and has higher control precision, avoiding lifting instability caused by air pressure or hydraulic fluctuations, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the pick-up and place end during the lifting process.

[0050] More specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting drive 2111 is a motor, the first rotating member 2112 and the first connecting member 2113 are both connecting rods, the first sliding member 2114 is a slider, and the support mechanism 1 is provided with a slide rail that slides with the slider. The motor drives the connecting rod to rotate, which in turn drives the slider to slide on the slide rail, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering adjustment of the rotation drive assembly 212. In other embodiments, the lifting drive assembly 211 is a cylinder, which drives the rotation drive assembly 212 to achieve lifting and lowering. It is understood that the specific structure of the lifting drive assembly 211 is not limited, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0051] Specifically, the rotation drive assembly 212 includes a rotation driver 2121 and a transmission component 2122. The output end of the rotation driver 2121 is connected to the transmission component 2122, and the pick-and-place end is limited and connected to the transmission component 2122, thereby realizing the rotational action of the pick-and-place end, so that the raw material can be accurately placed into the processing station 31. Moreover, the pick-and-place end is limited and connected to the transmission component 2122, ensuring that the pick-and-place end will not deviate excessively during operation, thus improving the stability and safety of the operation.

[0052] More specifically, the rotation driver 2121 is a servo motor, and the transmission component 2122 is a transmission plate. The rotation output end of the servo motor is connected to the transmission plate, thereby driving the transmission plate to rotate around the vertical direction. In other embodiments, the rotation driver 2121 is a servo motor, and the transmission component 2122 is a transmission bracket. The servo motor drives the transmission bracket to rotate to achieve the above function. The specific structure of the above components is not limited here, as long as the above functions can be achieved.

[0053] Specifically, the material handling assembly 22 includes a suction plate 221 and a flexible tube 222. One end of the flexible tube 222 is connected to the vacuum generator 100, and the other end is connected to the suction plate 221. The suction plate 221 is disposed on the feeding assembly 21 and configured as the pick-up and place end, allowing the raw material to be firmly adsorbed onto the pick-up and place end, preventing it from falling off during movement. Moreover, by replacing traditional mechanical grippers with vacuum adsorption, indentations or deformations are avoided on thin-walled tin foil materials, making it particularly suitable for fragile clean tin foil materials. Furthermore, due to the bendable nature of the flexible tube 222, it can adapt to changes in the path of the pick-up and place end during lifting and rotation, reducing the risk of tube entanglement.

[0054] It should be noted that those skilled in the art are familiar with the specific structure and working principle of the vacuum generator 100, and will not elaborate further here.

[0055] More specifically, the flexible tube 222 is equipped with a solenoid valve to control the opening and closing of the air passage. This configuration can control the air intake and release actions of the suction plate 221, ensuring that the raw material is firmly adsorbed when needed and released when not needed.

[0056] More specifically, the material handling assembly 22 also includes a buffer tube 223 and a buffer elastic element 224. The suction plate 221 is connected to the flexible tube 222 through the buffer tube 223. The buffer tube 223 is disposed between the suction plate 221 and the flexible tube 222 and slides in cooperation with the suction plate 221. One end of the buffer elastic element 224 abuts against the buffer tube 223, and the other end abuts against the suction plate 221. The suction plate 221 stops on the buffer tube 223 under the support of the buffer elastic element 224. By setting the buffer elastic element 224, flexible cushioning is provided when the suction plate 221 contacts the material, avoiding hard collisions between the suction plate 221 and the material, which could lead to damage or deformation of the tin foil. The buffer elastic element 224 can be a spring or a rubber pad, etc. The specific structure of the buffer elastic element 224 is not limited here.

[0057] Specifically, the lifting drive assembly 211 also includes a low-position sensor 2115 and a lifting controller. The low-position sensor 2115 is connected to the lifting controller and can transmit the height position signal of the suction plate 221 to the lifting controller. The lifting controller can then drive the lifting drive 2111 based on this signal, thereby monitoring the height position of the suction plate 221 in real time to ensure its accuracy and stability during the lifting process. The lifting controller can be a microcontroller or PLC control system; the specific structure of the lifting controller is not specified here.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the supporting mechanism 3 includes a support platform 32 and multiple mold components 33. The support platform 32 is rotatably connected to the support mechanism 1 and has multiple mounting slots 321 spaced apart along its circumference. The multiple mold components 33 are correspondingly located in the multiple mounting slots 321. When the pressing assembly 42 extends into the mold component 33, the raw material can be clamped between the pressing assembly 42 and the mold component 33. By rotating the support platform 32, the switching between the multiple mold components 33 can be realized. This not only allows the multiple mold components 33 to work simultaneously, but also enables the simultaneous loading and pressing operations, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0059] More specifically, in this embodiment, the supporting mechanism 3 includes a stepper motor. The output shaft of the stepper motor is connected to the support platform 32 via a rotating flange, enabling the support platform 32 to rotate in the vertical direction. By setting the stepper motor, the rotation angle of the support platform 32 can be precisely controlled, ensuring that the mold part 33 can be accurately moved to the processing station 31. Moreover, in other embodiments, the support platform 32 can also be driven by a servo motor, which is not limited here.

[0060] Specifically, the supporting mechanism 3 also includes a limiting plate, which is detachably connected to the support platform 32, and the mold component 33 is disposed between the limiting plate and the support platform 32. By setting the limiting plate, the position of the mold component 33 can be fixed to prevent it from moving during the pressing process.

[0061] Specifically, the supporting mechanism 3 also includes a positioning detection sensor, which is mounted on the support mechanism 1 to detect the rotation angle of the support platform 32, thereby ensuring that the stepper motor can drive the support platform 32 to rotate to the required position. By monitoring the rotation angle of the support platform 32 in real time through the positioning detection sensor, it is ensured that the mold part 33 can be accurately moved to the required position.

[0062] Specifically, a shock-absorbing spring is provided between the mounting groove 321 and the mold part 33. By setting the shock-absorbing spring, the impact force between the mold part 33 and the support platform 32 during the pressing process is absorbed, thereby reducing the impact of equipment vibration on the quality of the finished product.

[0063] Specifically, the support platform 32 has a blowing hole 322, and the interior of the mounting groove 321 is connected to the outside through the blowing hole 322. The mold part 33 has a through hole 331 connected to the blowing hole 322, so that the finished product can be blown out of the mold part 33 after pressing, thereby improving production efficiency. Moreover, by blowing air into the blowing hole 322, the finished product is blown out of the mold part 33 using airflow, avoiding mechanical damage to the thin-walled tin foil cup. Furthermore, the through hole 331 is located at the bottom of the mold part 33, thereby ensuring that the airflow acts evenly on the bottom of the finished product, thus improving the success rate of unloading.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figures 1-9 As shown, the pressing drive assembly 41 is slidably and adjustablely connected to the support mechanism 1 in the horizontal direction, allowing the pressing drive assembly 41 to flexibly adjust its position to adapt to different production needs. The horizontal sliding adjustment of the pressing drive assembly 41 can be achieved through a slide rail or a nut and screw structure; no further limitations are specified here.

[0065] More specifically, the pressing drive assembly 41 includes a pressing driver 411, a second rotating member 412, a second connecting member 413, and a second sliding member 414. The output end of the pressing driver 411 is connected to the second rotating member 412, enabling it to rotate. The two ends of the second connecting member 413 are rotatably connected to the second rotating member 412 and the second sliding member 414, respectively. The second sliding member 414 is slidably connected to the support mechanism 1 in the vertical direction and connected to the pressing assembly 42. When the second rotating member 412 rotates, the second connecting member 413 drives the second sliding member 414 to achieve lifting and lowering. That is, the rotational motion is converted into linear lifting and lowering motion through a mechanical linkage structure. Compared with traditional cylinder or hydraulic drive, the above structure is more compact and has higher control precision, avoiding the instability of lifting and lowering caused by air pressure or hydraulic fluctuations, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the pressing assembly 42 during the pressing process.

[0066] More specifically, in this embodiment, the pressing driver 411 is a motor, the second rotating member 412 and the second connecting member 413 are both connecting rods, the second sliding member 414 is a slider, and the support mechanism 1 is provided with a slide rail that slides with the slider. The motor drives the connecting rod to rotate, causing the slider to slide on the slide rail, thereby achieving the stability and accuracy of the pressing assembly 42 during the pressing process. In other embodiments, the pressing drive assembly 41 is a cylinder, which drives the rotating drive assembly 212 to achieve pressing. It is understood that the specific structure of the pressing drive assembly 41 is not limited, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0067] Specifically, the pressing assembly 42 includes a pressing member 421, an ejector member 422, and an ejector elastic member 423. The pressing member 421 is located at the output end of the pressing drive assembly 41. The pressing driver 411 can drive the pressing member 421 to move vertically downward, thereby pressing the raw material placed at the processing station 31 into a finished tin foil cup. The ejector member 422 is slidably connected to the pressing member 421. When the pressing member 421 abuts against the raw material placed at the processing station 31, the ejector member 422 stops within the pressing member 421. When the pressing member 421 separates from the raw material, the ejector member 422 extends out from the pressing member 421 under the driving action of the ejector elastic member 423, and can push against the raw material. After pressing, the finished product is automatically ejected, thereby separating the finished product from the pressing member 421 and preventing the tin foil cup from sticking to the surface of the pressing member 421 due to static electricity or adsorption, ensuring that the finished product is smoothly removed. The material ejection elastic element 423 can be a ring spring or a helical spring. The specific structure of the material ejection elastic element 423 is not limited here, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0068] Specifically, the pressing part 421 is provided with a slide rail, and the ejector part 422 is slidably connected to the slide rail. The end of the slide rail facing the supporting mechanism 3 has a conical groove, and the protruding end of the ejector part 422 is provided with a push block that can be received in the conical groove. This increases the contact area between the ejector part 422 and the end that abuts against the raw material, thereby achieving the positioning function of the raw material. The ejector part 422 is provided with a limiting part to prevent the ejector part 422 from sliding out of the slide rail, ensuring the stability of the ejector part 422 in the slide rail, allowing the ejector part 422 to slide within a preset stroke, and avoiding excessive extension that could cause the ejector part 422 to jam or damage the mold part 33.

[0069] Specifically, the pressing drive assembly 41 also includes a pressing sensor 415 and a pressing controller. The pressing sensor 415 is connected to the pressing controller and can transmit the height position signal of the pressing component 421 to the pressing controller. The pressing controller can then drive the pressing driver 411 based on this signal, and can monitor the height position of the pressing component 421 in real time to ensure the accuracy and stability of the pressing process. The pressing controller can be a microcontroller or PLC control system, and the specific structure of the pressing controller is not limited here.

[0070] It should be noted that the consumable detection sensor 12, low position sensor 2115, pressure sensor 415 and position detection sensor in this embodiment can be pressure sensors or photoelectric sensors. The specific structure of the above components is not limited here, as long as they can achieve the corresponding functions.

[0071] Specifically, the fully automatic portable manufacturing device for producing tin foil cups also includes a discharge mechanism 5 mounted on the support mechanism 1. The discharge mechanism 5 removes the finished product from the processing station 31, thereby further improving production efficiency. The discharge mechanism 5 includes a first discharge driver and a second discharge driver mounted on the support mechanism 1. The air outlet of the first discharge driver is connected to a blowing hole 322, and the air outlet of the second discharge driver faces the processing station 31. The first discharge driver blows the finished product from the mold through the blowing hole 322, while the second discharge driver provides auxiliary airflow to guide the finished product into the storage box. The combined use of dual airflow ensures thorough discharge and avoids product residue. Moreover, compared to mechanical ejection, airflow-driven discharge does not require contact with the finished product, reducing the risk of contamination. The first and second discharge drivers can be blowers or fans; no specific structural limitations are imposed on the first and second discharge drivers, as long as they are feasible.

[0072] More specifically, the discharging mechanism 5 also includes a speed control switch, which is connected to the first and second discharging drivers. The speed control switch can adjust the wind force according to the weight or size of the finished product, avoiding excessive wind force causing the finished product to splash or insufficient wind force causing discharging failure, thus enhancing the adaptability of the fully automatic portable production device for making tin foil cups.

[0073] This embodiment also provides a manufacturing method using the aforementioned fully automated portable manufacturing device for making tin foil cups. This method enables laboratory production of tin foil cups, improving production efficiency and product quality while reducing costs. The manufacturing method includes the following steps:

[0074] Raw materials are placed in the consumable box, and the consumable detection sensor 12 detects whether there are raw materials in the consumable box and sends back a status signal, thereby ensuring that there are raw materials in the consumable box and avoiding production interruptions due to insufficient raw materials, which helps to improve the continuity and stability of the production process.

[0075] The drive platform 32 is rotated, and the positioning sensor ensures that the platform 32 is in position, thus providing accurate positioning for subsequent material grabbing and movement.

[0076] The loading component 21 drives the pick-and-place end to move, moving the raw material located at the loading station 11 to the processing station 31. More specifically, the lifting drive component 211 drives the suction plate 221 to rise and fall above the consumable box, and the suction plate 221 sucks air to adsorb the raw material to achieve a gripping action. Then, the rotation drive component 212 drives the suction plate 221 and the adsorbed raw material to move above the processing station 31. At this time, the suction plate 221 no longer adsorbs the raw material, allowing the raw material to fall into the mold part 33. This realizes the automatic gripping and movement of the raw material from the loading station 11 to the processing station 31, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0077] The pressing drive assembly 41 drives the pressing assembly 42 to move, pressing the raw material placed at the processing station 31 into a finished product. More specifically, the pressing drive assembly 41 drives the pressing component 421 to move toward the processing station 31. When the ejector component 422 abuts against the raw material placed at the processing station 31, the ejector component 422 retracts into the pressing component 421, so that the raw material is pressed into a finished product under the clamping force of the pressing component 421 and the mold component 33. At this time, the pressing sensor 415 detects the current height position of the pressing component 421 and feeds the signal back to the pressing controller. The pressing controller controls the pressing drive 411 to operate, so that the pressing component 421 abuts against the raw material for a predetermined time. Then, the pressing controller drives the pressing drive 411 to operate, so that the pressing component 421 separates from the raw material. At this time, the ejector component 422 extends out of the pressing component 421 under the driving action of the ejector elastic component 423 and pushes against the raw material to prevent the raw material from sticking to the pressing component 421.

[0078] The unloading mechanism 5 removes the finished product from the processing station 31. More specifically, the second unloading driver is always in the open state. After the raw material is pressed into shape, the first unloading driver is activated, and ventilation is provided through the first unloading driver to the blowing hole 322, so that the finished product is blown up from the mold part 33. Since the air outlet of the second unloading driver is set towards the processing station 31, the blown finished product is blown down into the storage box under the action of wind, thereby improving production efficiency and simplifying the finished product collection process.

[0079] It is important to note that the fully automated portable manufacturing device for producing tin foil cups also includes a vision mechanism. This vision mechanism is mounted on the support mechanism 1 and detects whether the finished product at processing station 31 has been removed. When the vision mechanism detects that the finished product has not been removed by the discharge mechanism 5, it controls the support platform 32 to stop rotating until the discharge mechanism 5 blows the finished product out. By incorporating the vision mechanism, the material feeding status can be monitored in real time, preventing blockage of the mold part 33 or equipment malfunction due to feeding failure. The vision mechanism includes a light source, camera, and image processor, etc., and those skilled in the art are familiar with its specific structure and working principle, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0080] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the feeding component 21 drives the pick-and-place end to move, moving the raw material located at the loading station 11 to the processing station 31, thereby realizing automated feeding of the raw material; the pressing drive component 41 drives the pressing component 42 to move, pressing the raw material placed at the processing station 31 into a finished product. The pressing drive component 41 precisely controls the pressing component 42, ensuring the quality and consistency of the finished product; after the raw material is pressed into shape, the unloading mechanism 5 removes the finished product from the processing station 31. Through the above settings, the automated feeding, pressing, and unloading process is realized, which not only improves production efficiency but also ensures the quality of the finished product, facilitating the production of tin foil cups in the laboratory. This solves the problems of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual sample preparation and the high cost of using pre-made tin foil cups. Through the above settings, the manufacturing method of this embodiment can realize the laboratory production of tin foil cups, improving production efficiency and product quality, and reducing costs.

[0081] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
