Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermos cup manufacturing technology, specifically to a novel metal thermos cup insulation performance testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the metal insulated cup industry, the performance of insulated cups is tested by heating to assess their heat retention. There are generally two traditional methods. Traditional method one involves placing hot water inside the cup and touching the outer wall to feel the heat, thus determining the heat retention effect. This method suffers from a harsh working environment, low safety, low efficiency, and complex operation. Traditional method two uses a semi-automatic method with an internal hot air blower, again relying on touch to feel the heat on the outer wall. However, this method suffers from unstable heat source temperature, affecting the accuracy of measurements, and the heat source is not recyclable, resulting in significant energy loss. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a new type of metal thermos cup insulation performance testing machine to improve testing efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel metal thermos cup insulation performance testing machine includes:

[0006] Several thermos heating devices are used to load and heat the thermos cups.

[0007] A circular track system is used for step-by-step conveying of the thermos cup heating device, and has an initial temperature detection station and an end temperature detection station for detecting the initial temperature and the end temperature of the thermos cup in a certain time period, respectively.

[0008] An initial infrared camera system is installed at the initial temperature detection station to detect the initial temperature of the thermos cup over a certain period of time.

[0009] An infrared camera system is installed at the endpoint temperature detection station to detect the final temperature of the thermos cup over a certain period of time.

[0010] In this invention, a thermos cup can be placed inside a thermos cup heating device for heating. A circular track system transports the thermos cup heating device to an initial temperature detection station, where an initial infrared camera system acquires the temperature data of the thermos cup. Then, the thermos cup is transported to an end temperature detection station via the circular track system, where an end infrared camera system captures the final temperature. This allows us to obtain the temperature difference of the thermos cup over the entire time period from the initial temperature detection station to the end temperature detection station, thus obtaining the thermos cup's insulation performance data.

[0011] The circular track system in this invention can be set in a step-by-step cycle, and different timing intervals can be set according to different needs.

[0012] This invention can also be configured with PLCs, industrial computers, and switches to effectively control the operation of the entire machine. For example, it collects the initial temperature and the final temperature of each thermos cup workpiece after a certain time, providing data support for calculating and judging the performance of the thermos cup. It can calculate the temperature rise value and determine whether the heat preservation effect of the thermos cup workpiece is qualified. In addition, the background software of this invention can also record different configuration tables for different thermos cup workpieces for direct use in subsequent production. At the same time, the system records infrared camera images at each temperature measurement for user review. After each batch is completed, the system can automatically generate detailed lists and reports (total number of tests, number of qualified products, pass rate, etc. for this batch).

[0013] Preferably, both the starting infrared camera system and the ending infrared camera system are equipped with a dual-axis gimbal movement mechanism for adjusting their shooting positions. In this invention, the shooting position can be adjusted via the dual-axis gimbal movement mechanism to accurately capture temperature data. Additionally, a through-beam height protection switch can be provided to prevent extreme height hazards.

[0014] Preferably, a visual inspection system is also included to detect whether the thermos cup is qualified. In this invention, the visual inspection system can acquire images of the thermos cup and perform image recognition to make a judgment. The specific qualification standard can be formulated according to different product specifications.

[0018] Preferably, the system also includes a sliding contact line power supply system for providing electrical power and a caster wheel support system.

[0019] The thermos cup heating device of this utility model can be used with a ring track system, a universal wheel support system, and a sliding contact line power supply system to perform a timed stepping cyclic motion under the control of the main power system of the servo drive chain.

[0020] Preferably, the thermos cup heating device includes a heating box and an electrical control box. The heating box includes a box body and a heating cover plate covering the top of the box body. The heating cover plate has several heating ports for thermos cups to be placed in. An electric heating plate controlled by the electrical control box is provided on the bottom inner side of the box body.

[0021] When heating a thermos cup, the thermos cup can be placed in the heating station port, and then the electric control box starts the electric heating plate to heat it. The heating temperature of the electric heating plate is controlled by the electric control box. The electric heating method used in this invention can make the heat source temperature stable and adjustable, ensuring the heating temperature of the thermos cup is stable, improving the measurement accuracy, and making the heating operation convenient and quick.

[0022] Preferably, the electric heating plate has a high-temperature resistant Teflon cloth.

[0023] In this invention, a high-temperature Teflon cloth can be provided on the upper surface of the electric heating plate, which can effectively protect the surface of the heating plate and reduce the impact of the thermos cup workpiece on the heating plate.

[0024] Preferably, the electric heating plate is equipped with a temperature sensor.

[0025] In this invention, the temperature of the electric heating plate can be accurately obtained through a temperature sensor, providing temperature control data information for the electrical control box.

[0026] In this invention, there are various options for the temperature sensor. As a preferred option, the temperature sensor is a PT100 temperature sensor.

[0027] To facilitate the side-mounting of the thermos cup, this invention can provide a notch along the edge of the heating station opening. The notch can take various shapes. Preferably, the heating station opening has a V-shaped notch to facilitate the side-mounting of the thermos cup.

[0028] Preferably, the edge of the heating station port has a high-temperature resistant silicone seal.

[0029] The high-temperature resistant silicone seal in this invention can provide heat insulation while effectively protecting the surface of the thermos cup workpiece and preventing the heating station port from scratching the outer wall of the thermos cup.

[0030] There are multiple ways to fix the electric heating plate to the box body in this utility model. For ease of disassembly and assembly, the electric heating plate is preferably fixed to the bottom of the inner side of the box body with heat-insulating bolts.

[0035] The electrical control box of this utility model has various structural forms. Preferably, the side of the electrical control box adopts a honeycomb panel structure for convenient heat dissipation and power cable entry / exit wiring.
