[0030] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6A material rack inlet / outlet structure includes a high-pressure reactor 1 and a material rack 2, and further includes a first conveying track 3, a second conveying track 4, a connecting track 5, a drive mechanism 6, and a rotating seat 7. The first conveying track 3 is located inside the high-pressure reactor 1, the second conveying track 4 is located outside the high-pressure reactor 1, the connecting track 5 is located between the first conveying track 3 and the second conveying track 4, the rotating seat 7 is fixedly arranged relative to the high-pressure reactor 1, the connecting track 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 7, the drive mechanism 6 is used to drive the connecting track 5 to rotate to avoid the movement trajectory of the high-pressure reactor 1 door; the second conveying track 4 and the connecting track 5 are both used to drive the material rack 2 to move.
[0032] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the material rack entering and exiting the autoclave structure sends the material rack 2 into the autoclave 1 through the first conveying track 3, the connecting track 5 and the second conveying track 4. After the material rack 2 has entered the autoclave 1, the connecting track 5 is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism 6 so that the door of the autoclave 1 can be closed, which effectively improves the glass handling efficiency, reduces manual intervention and simplifies the material rack 2 entering and exiting the autoclave process.
[0033] Furthermore, the first conveying track 3, the second conveying track 4, and the connecting track 5 all include a track support 31 and a conveying device 32 mounted on the track support 31. The first conveying track 3 is provided with a first transmission member 33, which is connected to the conveying device 32 of the first conveying track 3. The connecting track 5 is provided with a second transmission member 51 at one end near the first conveying track 3. The second transmission member 51 is connected to the conveying device 32 of the connecting track 5 and is used to connect to the first transmission member 33.
[0034] As can be seen from the above description, when the connecting track 5 is close to the first conveying track 3, the second transmission component 51 can be connected to the first transmission component 33, so that the active component of the conveying device 32 that drives the connecting track 5 can synchronously drive the conveying device 32 of the first conveying track 3, so as to make up for the defect that it is difficult to send the material rack 2 into the depth of the high pressure vessel 1 because an electric structure cannot be installed inside the high pressure vessel 1.
[0035] Furthermore, the conveying device 32 includes multiple rotating shafts 321, multiple sprockets 322, and two chains 323 located on both sides of the track support 31. The multiple rotating shafts 321 are rotatably mounted on the track support 31, the multiple sprockets 322 are fixed to the outer wall of the rotating shafts 321, and the two chains 323 are respectively engaged with the multiple sprockets 322. The second conveying track 4 and the connecting track 5 are respectively provided with drive motors 41, and the drive motors 41 are connected to the rotating shafts 321 in a transmission connection.
[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the conveying device 32 has a simple structure, can be modified from commercially available standard parts, and can adapt to the high temperature and high pressure working environment inside the autoclave 1.
[0037] Furthermore, both the first transmission component 33 and the second transmission component 51 are gears.
[0038] As can be seen from the above description, the first transmission component 33 and the second transmission component 51 are easy to obtain and have high transmission efficiency.
[0039] Furthermore, guide brackets 8 are provided on both sides of the second conveying track 4 and / or connecting track 5.
[0040] As can be seen from the above description, the guide bracket 8 can prevent the material rack 2 from accidentally detaching from the second conveying track 4 and / or the connecting track 5.
[0041] Furthermore, the guide bracket 8 is equipped with multiple rotatable guide wheels 81.
[0042] As can be seen from the above description, setting guide wheels 81 on guide bracket 8 can reduce the friction between guide bracket 8 and material rack 2, which is beneficial to reduce energy consumption.
[0043] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 6 includes a mounting base 61 and a linear cylinder 62. The mounting base 61 is fixedly disposed relative to the autoclave 1. One end of the linear cylinder 62 is rotatably connected to the connecting rail 5, and the other end of the linear cylinder 62 is connected to the mounting base 61.
[0044] As can be seen from the above description, the drive mechanism 6 has a simple structure and can be modified from commercially available standard parts. The rotation of the connecting track 5 can be achieved by controlling the extension and retraction of the linear cylinder 62.
[0045] Furthermore, the material rack 2 includes a base frame 21, a support frame 22 mounted on the base frame 21, and a crossbar 224 mounted on the support frame 22. The support frame 22 is provided with a plurality of first slots 2221 extending horizontally and a plurality of second slots 2231 extending downward. The crossbar 224 is respectively engaged with the plurality of first slots 2221 or the plurality of second slots 2231. The bottom surface of the first slot 2221 is provided with a protruding limiting block 2222, and the crossbar 224 is provided with a plurality of locking teeth 2241.
[0046] As described above, during glass transport, inserting the glass into the teeth 2241 of multiple crossbars 224 allows the glass to be securely placed on the rack 2. By engaging the crossbars 224 with different first slots 2221 or second slots 2231, the position of the crossbars 224 can be changed to accommodate the support needs of glass of different shapes and sizes. The limiting block 2222 prevents the crossbars 224 from accidentally detaching from the support frame 22, which could cause the glass to fall and break.
[0047] Furthermore, the base frame 21 is provided with a plurality of support frames 22, which are distributed along the horizontal and / or vertical directions.
[0048] As can be seen from the above description, setting multiple support frames 22 increases the number of glass that the material rack 2 can carry, which is beneficial to improving handling efficiency.
[0049] Furthermore, the support frame 22 includes a frame 221, vertical clamping plates 222 and horizontal clamping plates 223. The frame 221 is provided with multiple vertical clamping plates 222 and multiple horizontal clamping plates 223 along the horizontal direction. The vertical clamping plates 222 are provided with multiple first clamping slots 2221, and the horizontal clamping plates 223 are provided with multiple second clamping slots 2231.
[0050] As can be seen from the above description, by increasing the number of vertical clamps 222 or horizontal clamps 223, the supporting force on the crossbar 224 can be increased to support large-sized glass. For small-sized glass, the number of vertical clamps 222 or horizontal clamps 223 can be reduced to avoid obstacles, so that more glass can be placed on the support frame 22 at the same time, thus improving the handling efficiency.
[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 Embodiment 1 of this utility model is a material rack inlet / outlet structure, including a high-pressure reactor 1 and a material rack 2, and further including a first conveying track 3, a second conveying track 4, a connecting track 5, a drive mechanism 6, and a rotating seat 7. The first conveying track 3 is located inside the high-pressure reactor 1, the second conveying track 4 is located outside the high-pressure reactor 1, the connecting track 5 is located between the first conveying track 3 and the second conveying track 4, the rotating seat 7 is fixedly arranged relative to the high-pressure reactor 1, and the connecting track 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 7. The drive mechanism 6 is used to drive the connecting track 5 to rotate to avoid the movement trajectory of the high-pressure reactor 1's door; both the second conveying track 4 and the connecting track 5 are used to drive the material rack 2 to move. In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the connecting track 5 extends horizontally. It is easy to understand that the horizontal space occupied by the connecting track 5 when it flips up and down is relatively small. In other embodiments, the rotation axis of the connecting track 5 extends vertically to reduce the working difficulty of the drive mechanism 6 and reduce the power of the drive mechanism 6, which is also feasible.
[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the conveying device 32 includes multiple rotating shafts 321, multiple sprockets 322, and two chains 323 located on both sides of the track support 31. The multiple rotating shafts 321 are rotatably mounted on the track support 31, the multiple sprockets 322 are fixed to the outer wall of the rotating shafts 321, and the two chains 323 mesh with the multiple sprockets 322. Drive motors 41 are respectively provided on the second conveying track 4 and the connecting track 5, and the drive motors 41 are connected to the rotating shafts 321 in a transmission connection. In other embodiments, the conveying device 32 can be configured as a roller conveyor line.
[0053] The first conveying track 3, the second conveying track 4, and the connecting track 5 all include a track support 31 and a conveying device 32 mounted on the track support 31. The first conveying track 3 is provided with a first transmission member 33, which is drive-connected to the conveying device 32 of the first conveying track 3. The connecting track 5 is provided with a second transmission member 51 near the end of the first conveying track 3. The second transmission member 51 is drive-connected to the conveying device 32 of the connecting track 5, and the second transmission member 51 is used for drive-connection with the first transmission member 33. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, both the first transmission member 33 and the second transmission member 51 are gears. The first transmission member 33 is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 321 of the first conveying track 3, and the second transmission member 51 is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 321 of the connecting track 5. A third transmission gear 11 is provided inside the autoclave 1, and the third transmission gear 11 meshes with the first transmission member 33 and the second transmission member 51 respectively. By setting the third transmission gear 11 to mesh with the first transmission member 33 and the second transmission member 51 respectively, the connected track 5 after flipping can be made flush with the first conveying track 3, which is beneficial for the material rack 2 to be transferred from the connected track 5 to the first conveying track 3 and reduces the vibration of the glass during the handling process. In other embodiments, the first transmission member 33 and the second transmission member 51 can be set as rollers with a high coefficient of friction, and a corresponding third roller is provided inside the autoclave 1 to disengage from the first transmission member 33 and the second transmission member 51 respectively, transmitting torque through friction.
[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, guide brackets 8 are respectively provided on both sides of the second conveying track 4 and / or connecting track 5. The material rack 2 is provided with a protruding placement boss, which is located inside the guide bracket 8. The interference between the placement boss and the guide bracket 8 can prevent the material rack 2 from accidentally detaching from the track bracket 31. In this embodiment, guide brackets 8 are provided on both the connecting track 5 and the second conveying track 4.
[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to reduce the friction between the guide bracket 8 and the material rack 2, the guide bracket 8 is provided with a plurality of rotatable guide wheels 81, and the outer peripheral surface of the guide wheels 81 contacts the material rack 2.
[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the drive mechanism 6 includes a mounting base 61 and a linear cylinder 62. The mounting base 61 is fixedly disposed relative to the autoclave 1. One end of the linear cylinder 62 is rotatably connected to the connecting rail 5, and the other end of the linear cylinder 62 is connected to the mounting base 61. The connecting rail 5 can be driven to rotate by controlling the extension and retraction of the linear cylinder 62.
[0057] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the material rack 2 includes a base frame 21, a support frame 22 mounted on the base frame 21, and a crossbar 224 mounted on the support frame 22. The crossbar 224 is provided with multiple locking teeth 2241. The support frame 22 is provided with multiple first locking slots 2221 extending horizontally and multiple second locking slots 2231 extending downward. The crossbar 224 is respectively locked with multiple first locking slots 2221 or multiple second locking slots 2231. The bottom surface of the first locking slot 2221 is provided with a protruding limiting block 2222. The limiting block 2222 can prevent the crossbar 224 from accidentally detaching from the support frame 22, causing the glass to fall and break.
[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 22 includes a frame 221, vertical clamping plates 222, and horizontal clamping plates 223. The frame 221 has multiple vertical clamping plates 222 and multiple horizontal clamping plates 223 arranged horizontally. The vertical clamping plates 222 have multiple first clamping slots 2221, and the horizontal clamping plates 223 have multiple second clamping slots 2231. Specifically, when transporting glass, the glass is clamped between the clamping teeth 2241 of the multiple crossbars 224. In this embodiment, the frame 221 has two L-shaped clamping plates arranged horizontally. The portion of the L-shaped clamping plates extending vertically forms the vertical clamping plate 222, and the portion extending horizontally forms the horizontal clamping plate 223. It is easy to understand that by increasing the number of vertical clamps 222 or horizontal clamps 223, the supporting force on the crossbar 224 can be increased to support large-sized glass. For small-sized glass, the number of vertical clamps 222 or horizontal clamps 223 can be reduced to avoid the glass, so that more glass can be placed on the support frame 22 at the same time, thus improving the handling efficiency.
[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, each material rack 2 is provided with two support frames 22, which are distributed vertically. In other embodiments, each material rack 2 may have one, three or more support frames 22; when multiple support frames 22 are provided on the material rack 2, the multiple support frames 22 may be distributed horizontally or vertically.
[0060] In summary, the material rack in-and-out structure provided by this utility model sends the material rack into the high-pressure reactor through a first conveying track, a connecting track, and a second conveying track. After the material rack has completely entered the high-pressure reactor, the connecting track is driven to rotate by a drive mechanism so that the door of the high-pressure reactor can be closed. This effectively improves the glass handling efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and simplifies the material rack in-and-out process.
