Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of extraction column assembly equipment, and specifically to an extraction column assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing field of extraction column (i.e. reagent tube) production, the assembly process of extraction columns mainly relies on manual operation or semi-automated equipment, both of which have obvious limitations and shortcomings.

[0003] First, the process of assembling extraction columns manually is tedious and inefficient. Specifically, the assembly process involves multiple steps, including taking out the extraction column, sequentially placing the filter element into the column, filling it with powder, and then placing the filter element again. Each of these steps must be completed manually, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to inconsistent assembly quality due to human error. Furthermore, manual assembly also suffers from high labor intensity for operators and low production efficiency, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern industrial production for efficient, stable, and large-scale manufacturing.

[0004] Secondly, while the semi-automatic extraction column assembly process improves production efficiency to some extent, it still presents numerous problems. Semi-automatic equipment typically requires the combined use of multiple sets of equipment and manual assistance, making it impossible to achieve seamless and intelligent production from the initial input of an empty extraction column to its assembly and unloading. This not only increases production costs and complexity but also limits further improvements in production efficiency and product quality. Furthermore, manual intervention during semi-automatic assembly can easily lead to assembly errors and safety hazards, affecting product reliability and safety. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an extraction column assembly machine to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: An extraction column assembly machine includes a cabinet and an electrical control box. An installation plate is provided in the cabinet. The installation plate is provided with a station divider, a feeding mechanism, a material feeding mechanism, a filter element feeding mechanism, a powder filling mechanism, and a discharging mechanism, which are respectively electrically connected to the electrical control box. Several stations are arranged on the disc of the station divider. Each station is provided with a fixing component for fixing the extraction column. The feeding mechanism, the material feeding mechanism, the filter element feeding mechanism, the powder filling mechanism, and the discharging mechanism are sequentially connected to the fixing component on the disc.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During assembly, only an empty extraction column needs to be fed into the feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism delivers the extraction columns one by one to the loading mechanism, which then removes the extraction columns and places them into the fixing parts on the disc. The disc of the station divider rotates, moving the station containing the empty extraction column to the upper filter element mechanism for the upper filter element operation. The disc continues to rotate, conveying the extraction column to the powder filling mechanism for the powder filling operation. After the powder filling is completed, the upper filter element operation is performed again, and then the column is sent to the unloading mechanism for unloading, completing the assembly of the entire extraction column. This greatly improves the assembly efficiency. This solution realizes a continuous and intelligent production process from the insertion of an empty extraction column to the unloading, resulting in higher efficiency and more stable quality.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper filter element mechanism is provided in two sets, which are respectively located between the feeding mechanism and the powder filling mechanism, and between the powder filling mechanism and the unloading mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes two sets of filter element pressing mechanisms, which are respectively set at the next work station of the two sets of upper filter element mechanisms.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper filter element mechanism includes a filter element feeder and a first bracket fixed on the mounting plate. The top of the first bracket is provided with a first horizontal motion cylinder and a first vertical motion cylinder provided at the movable end of the first horizontal motion cylinder. The bottom of the first vertical motion cylinder is connected to a suction pipe. The bottom of the suction pipe is connected to the workstation of the workstation divider or to the end of the feeding path of the filter element feeder. A pipe joint is connected to the suction pipe, and a suction device is connected to the external pipe joint.

[0012] Furthermore, the filter element pressing mechanism includes a second vertical motion cylinder mounted on the first support. The bottom of the movable end of the second vertical motion cylinder is connected to a pressure rod, which extends into the extraction column at the next station.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a second bracket fixed on the mounting plate, a second horizontal motion cylinder is provided on the top of the second bracket and a third vertical motion cylinder is provided at the movable end of the second horizontal motion cylinder, and a first picking finger is connected to the bottom of the third vertical motion cylinder. The first picking finger docks with the feeding mechanism or docks with the station on the disc.

[0014] Furthermore, the powder filling mechanism includes a powder filling machine and a fourth vertical motion cylinder located below the workstation on the disc. The fourth vertical motion cylinder pushes out the fixing part so that the extraction column aligns with the filling head of the powder filling machine.

[0015] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a third bracket fixed on the mounting plate, a fourth horizontal motion cylinder connected to the upper end of the third bracket, a fifth vertical motion cylinder connected to the moving end of the fourth horizontal motion cylinder, and a second picking finger connected to the moving end of the fifth vertical motion cylinder.

[0016] Furthermore, the unloading mechanism also includes an inclined unloading slide, the upper end of which is close to the disc of the station divider and located below the movable end of the unloading mechanism, and the lower end of which extends downwards out of the cabinet.

[0017] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder and a straight vibrator located below the feed channel of the vibratory feeder, with the end of the feed channel of the vibratory feeder connected to the loading mechanism. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown in Embodiment 1, an extraction column assembly machine includes a cabinet 1 and an electrical control box 2. The cabinet 1 is equipped with a mounting plate 11, on which are arranged a station divider 3, a feeding mechanism 4, a loading mechanism 5, an upper filter element mechanism 6, a powder filling mechanism 8, and a discharging mechanism 9, which are electrically connected to the electrical control box 2 respectively. The disc 31 of the station divider 3 is equipped with several stations, and each station is equipped with a fixing member 32 for fixing the extraction column 10. The feeding mechanism 4, the loading mechanism 5, the upper filter element mechanism 6, the powder filling mechanism 8, and the discharging mechanism 9 are sequentially connected to the fixing member 32 on the disc 31.

[0033] During assembly, only an empty extraction column 10 needs to be fed into the feeding mechanism 4. The feeding mechanism 4 delivers the extraction column 10 one by one to the loading mechanism 5. The loading mechanism 5 removes the extraction column 10 and places it into the fixing part 32 on the disc 31. The disc 31 of the station divider 3 rotates, moving the station containing the empty extraction column 10 to the upper filter element mechanism 6 for filter element loading. The disc 31 continues to rotate, conveying the extraction column 10 to the powder filling mechanism 8 for powder filling. After powder filling, the filter element loading operation is performed again, and then it is sent to the unloading mechanism 9 for unloading, completing the assembly of the entire extraction column 10. This greatly improves the assembly efficiency. This solution realizes the continuity and intelligent production of the entire process from the insertion of the empty extraction column 10 to the unloading, resulting in higher efficiency and more stable quality.

[0034] In specific implementation, the fixing component 32 of the fixed extraction column 10 is a ring structure. The cabinet 1 is equipped with an electrical control box 2. The station divider 3, feeding mechanism 4, loading mechanism 5, upper filter element mechanism 6, powder filling mechanism 8 and unloading mechanism 9 are all electrically connected to the electrical control box 2. A photoelectric sensor is installed under each fixing component 32 to ensure that the extraction column 10 is present in the current fixing component 32. At the same time, it can also ensure that the position of the fixing component 32 at the current station corresponds one-to-one with the feeding mechanism 4, loading mechanism 5, upper filter element mechanism 6, powder filling mechanism 8 and unloading mechanism 9. In addition, the electrical control box 2 adopts a conventional PLC control system.

[0035] Example 2 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0036] Two sets of upper filter element mechanisms 6 are provided, one between the feeding mechanism 5 and the powder filling mechanism 8, and the other between the powder filling mechanism 8 and the unloading mechanism 9. The arrangement of two sets of upper filter element mechanisms 6 allows the extraction column 10 to proceed directly to the next process without returning to the previous station for filter element replacement after powder filling. This ensures that the operation of the previous process is not affected during the transition from one station to the next, and other processes do not need to wait, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0037] Example 3 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0038] It also includes two sets of filter element pressing mechanisms 7, which are respectively located at the next station of the two sets of upper filter element mechanisms 6. By having the movable end of the filter element pressing mechanism 7 extend into the extraction column 10 and press the filter element downward, the filter element can be installed in place, avoiding unevenness in the assembled extraction column 10 and resulting in higher quality.

[0039] Example 4 is a further improvement based on any one of Examples 1 to 3, and its details are as follows:

[0040] The upper filter element mechanism 6 includes a filter element feeder 61 and a first bracket 62 fixed on the mounting plate 11. The top of the first bracket 62 is provided with a first horizontal motion cylinder 63 and a first vertical motion cylinder 64 provided at the movable end of the first horizontal motion cylinder 63. The bottom of the first vertical motion cylinder 64 is connected to a suction pipe 65. The bottom of the suction pipe 65 is connected to the station of the station divider 3 or to the end of the feeding path of the filter element feeder 61. A pipe joint 66 is connected to the suction pipe 65, and a suction device is connected to the pipe joint 66.

[0041] The first horizontal movement cylinder 63 and the first vertical movement cylinder 64 enable the suction pipe 65 to move in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The suction pipe 65 draws the filter element out of the filter element feeder 61. The first horizontal movement cylinder 63 drives the suction pipe 65 to move directly above the extraction column 10. Then, the first vertical movement cylinder 64 drives the suction pipe 65 to move downward, sending the filter element into the extraction column 10. Then, the suction pipe 65 stops working, leaving the filter element in the extraction column 10, thus completing one filter element feeding operation.

[0042] Example 5 is a further improvement on Example 4, and its details are as follows:

[0043] The filter cartridge pressing mechanism 7 includes a second vertical motion cylinder 71 mounted on a first support 62. A pressure rod 72 is connected to the bottom of the movable end of the second vertical motion cylinder 71, and the pressure rod 72 extends into the extraction column 10 at the next workstation. The second vertical motion cylinder 71 drives the pressure rod 72 to perform longitudinal reciprocating motion, thereby achieving the pressing operation of the filter cartridge. Furthermore, by mounting the filter cartridge pressing mechanism 7 on the first support 62, and separating it from the upper filter cartridge mechanism 6 by one workstation, the filter cartridge pressing operation can be performed without affecting the filter cartridge operation at the previous workstation, improving efficiency and reducing the number of supports.

[0044] Example 6 is a further improvement on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0045] The feeding mechanism 5 includes a second bracket 51 fixed on the mounting plate 11. The top of the second bracket 51 is provided with a second horizontal motion cylinder 52 and a third vertical motion cylinder 53 provided at the movable end of the second horizontal motion cylinder 52. The bottom of the third vertical motion cylinder 53 is connected to a first picking finger 54. The first picking finger 54 docks with the feeding mechanism 4 or with the workstation on the disc 31.

[0046] The second horizontal movement cylinder 52 moves to the upper end of the material channel 43 of the feeding mechanism 4. The third vertical movement cylinder 53 drives the first picking finger 54 to descend and take out the empty extraction column 10. Then the third vertical movement cylinder 53 and the second horizontal movement cylinder 52 are reset, so that the first picking finger 54 is directly above the fixing part 32 of the current station. The third vertical movement cylinder 53 drives the first picking finger 54 to descend again and put the empty extraction column 10 into the fixing part 32 of the current station. The third vertical movement cylinder 53 is reset again to complete one feeding operation. The whole process is automated and more efficient.

[0047] Example 7 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0048] The powder filling mechanism 8 includes a powder filling machine 81 and a fourth vertical motion cylinder 82 located below the workstation on the disc 31. The fourth vertical motion cylinder 82 pushes out the fixing member 32 so that the extraction column 10 aligns with the filling head 811 of the powder filling machine 81. By quantitatively filling the extraction column 10 at the current workstation with powder by the powder filling machine 81, the error of traditional manual filling is reduced.

[0049] Example 8 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0050] The unloading mechanism 9 includes a third bracket 91 fixed on the mounting plate 11. A fourth horizontal motion cylinder 92 is connected to the upper end of the third bracket 91. A fifth vertical motion cylinder 93 is connected to the moving end of the fourth horizontal motion cylinder 92. A second picking finger 94 is connected to the moving end of the fifth vertical motion cylinder 93. After assembly, the station where the assembled extraction column 10 is located rotates to the unloading mechanism 9. The second picking finger 94 removes the extraction column 10 from the fixing part 32. The fourth horizontal motion cylinder 92 and the fifth vertical motion cylinder 93 transport the extraction column 10 out of the cabinet 1, thus completing one assembly process. No manual removal is required, resulting in higher efficiency.

[0051] Example 9 is a further improvement based on Example 8, and its details are as follows:

[0052] The feeding mechanism 9 also includes an inclined feeding slide 95. The upper end of the feeding slide 95 is close to the disc 31 of the station divider 3 and is located below the movable end of the feeding mechanism 9. The lower end of the feeding slide 95 extends downwards from the cabinet 1. After the assembled extraction column 10 is removed, it slides down through the feeding slide 95 to avoid the risk of some powder spilling due to direct falling.

[0053] Example 10 is a further improvement based on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0054] The feeding mechanism 4 includes a vibratory feeder 41 and a straight vibrator 42 located below the feed channel 43 of the vibratory feeder 41. The end of the feed channel 43 of the vibratory feeder 41 is connected to the feeding mechanism 5. The cooperation between the vibratory feeder 41 and the straight vibrator 42 makes the feeding process more stable and the extraction columns 10 more tightly and orderly arranged, avoiding material shortages or leaks in the feed channel 43. In specific implementation, an installation block 44 is vertically installed at the end of the material channel 43. A fifth horizontal motion cylinder 45 is installed on the installation block 44. A material distribution block 46 is installed at the moving end of the fifth horizontal motion cylinder 45. A U-shaped groove 461 adapted to the diameter of the extraction column 10 is installed on the material distribution block 46. A stop block 462 is installed at the end of the material distribution block 46 away from the fifth horizontal motion cylinder 45. When the moving end of the fifth horizontal motion cylinder 45 extends, the U-shaped groove 461 is connected to the material channel 43. The stop block 462 is away from the end of the material channel 43, and the extraction column 10 enters into the U-shaped groove 461. When the moving end of the fifth horizontal motion cylinder 45 retracts, the U-shaped groove 461 separates from the material channel 43. The stop block 462 is located at the end of the material channel 43, and the extraction column 10 in the material channel 43 cannot come out. Since the U-shaped groove 461 can only hold one extraction column 10 and the position is fixed, the feeding mechanism 5 can accurately remove the extraction column 10.

Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
