Detailed Implementation

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] An automatic control device for automatically loading and unloading materials into and out of a sterilization chamber, such as... Figure 1-5As shown, the system includes a sterilization chamber 1. A material tray 6 is fed into the sterilization chamber 1 for high-pressure steam sterilization. The sterilization chamber 1 has an inlet 2 and an outlet 3 at both ends. During production on the assembly line, the material tray 6 enters from one end of the sterilization chamber 1 and flows out from the other end. Specifically, a material pushing device 4 is provided corresponding to the inlet 2, and a material hooking device 5 is provided corresponding to the outlet 3. The material is automatically pushed in or pulled out through the material pushing device 4 and the material hooking device 5.

[0022] It also includes the target object controlled by the material pushing device 4 and the material hooking device 5—the material pallet 6; such as Figure 2 As shown, the material tray 6 has first flanges 9 on both sides along its length, and the bottom of the first flanges 9 forms a sliding base 10 for the material tray 6 to move. The material tray 6 has second flanges 11 on both sides along its width, and the second flanges 11 are smaller than the first flanges 9 in the height direction, so that the lower edge of the second flanges 11 forms a hook edge 12. The lower side of the end of the first flanges 9 is chamfered to form a collision angle 13. The material tray 6 slides on the support frame 14 via the sliding base 10, and then enters or leaves the sterilization chamber 1 along its axial direction. The chamfers at both ends of the material tray 6 can improve the fault tolerance rate of entering and leaving the sterilization chamber 1 and compensate for a certain height difference. The hook edge 12 on the lower side of the second flange 11 is used to be hooked and connected by the claw 31, and the entire material tray 6 is pulled out of the sterilization chamber 1.

[0023] Both the material pushing device 4 and the material hooking device 5 are equipped with a drive unit parallel to the length direction of the sterilization chamber 1, and the stroke length of the drive unit is greater than the length of the sterilization chamber 1. The drive unit of the material pushing device 4 is equipped with a pushing component 7 controlled by it, and the drive unit of the material hooking device 5 is equipped with a hooking component 8 controlled by it. Specifically, the inlet 2 and the outlet 3 are respectively equipped with a support frame 14 for mounting the drive unit. The drive unit includes an adjusting bracket 15 and a rodless cylinder 16. The rodless cylinder 16 provides driving force, thereby controlling the movement of the pushing component 7 and the hooking component 8, and controlling the movement of the material tray 6.

[0024] The adjusting bracket 15 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 14, and the rodless cylinder 16 is adjustablely fixed inside the adjusting bracket 15. Figure 5 As shown, the adjusting bracket 15 includes an X-axis adjusting part and a Y-axis adjusting part; with the length direction of the rodless cylinder 16 as the X-axis and the width direction as the Y-axis, the X-axis adjusting part includes upright plates 17 disposed at both ends of the adjusting bracket 15, and a tightening screw 18 is screwed onto the upright plate 17; the position of the rodless cylinder 16 in the X-axis direction is positioned on the upright plates 17 at both ends by means of the tightening screw 18, and the X-axis position can be finely adjusted by means of the tightening screw 18.

[0025] The Y-axis adjustment unit includes angle brackets 19 clamping on both sides of the rodless cylinder 16. A base plate 20 is provided on the adjustment bracket 15, which is used to fix the angle brackets 19. The angle brackets 19 have X-axis waist holes 21, and the base plate 20 has Y-axis waist holes 22. Fastening bolts 23 pass through the X-axis waist holes 21 and Y-axis waist holes 22. The base plate 20 can widen the width of the adjustment bracket 15, facilitating fine-tuning of the Y-axis position of the rodless cylinder 16. By superimposing the X-axis waist holes 21 and Y-axis waist holes 22 and locking them with the fastening bolts 23, the rodless cylinder 16 can be adjusted and clamped. As shown in the figure, multiple pairs of clamping angle brackets 19 are provided along the length of the rodless cylinder 16, thereby fixing or fine-tuning its position. A mounting beam plate 24 is provided along the Y-axis on the slider of the rodless cylinder 16. The mounting beam plate 24 can move with the slider, thereby controlling the movement position of the pushing component 7 and the hooking component 8.

[0026] Furthermore, the material pushing device 4 is provided with a first proximity switch 25 near the feed inlet 2 to stop the pushing component 7. The rodless cylinder 16 has a side groove along its length, and the first proximity switch is located in the side groove, and its position can be adjusted on the side groove. Furthermore, the material hooking device 5 also includes a second proximity switch 33 and a third proximity switch 34. The second proximity switch 33 is located near the material outlet, and the third proximity switch 34 is located away from the discharge outlet 3. The second proximity switch 33 and the third proximity switch 34 are sequentially located on the side of the rodless cylinder 16. Similar to the first proximity switch, the second and third proximity switches are located in the side groove of the rodless cylinder of the material hooking device 5. The side groove is located along the length of the rodless cylinder, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of each proximity switch in the X-axis direction, thereby improving the pushing and pulling accuracy of the material tray.

[0027] Specifically, the pushing component 7 is mounted on the mounting beam plate 24, and includes a pusher 26 mounted on the mounting beam plate 24 along the X-axis direction toward the feed inlet 2. The end of the pusher 26 is provided with a buffer pad 27 that contacts the second folded edge 11 of the material tray 6. When the rodless cylinder 16 drives the pushing component 7 to move toward the feed inlet 2, it first contacts the second folded edge 11 through the buffer pad 27, and then pushes the material tray 6 into the sterilization chamber 1. When the pushing component 7 reaches the first proximity switch 25, it sends a feedback signal, which then controls the pushing component 7 to move in the opposite direction and reset. At this time, the material tray 6 is completely inside the sterilization chamber 1, and the feeding ends.

[0028] Furthermore, the material hooking device 5 includes a drive cylinder 28 mounted on the mounting beam plate 24. A hinge seat 29 is provided on the vertical surface of the mounting beam plate 24 facing the discharge port 3. A swing arm 30 is provided on the hinge seat 29. The middle part of the swing arm 30 is hinged to the hinge seat 29. One end of the swing arm 30 is provided with a hook claw 31, and the other end is provided with an elongated hole 32. The free end of the drive cylinder 28 is connected to the elongated hole 32. After sterilization chamber 1 completes sterilization, discharge port 3 opens. Rodless cylinder 16 drives hooking component 8 to move towards discharge port 3. At this time, drive cylinder 28 pushes forward, and hook claw 31 on the other side rotates downward and opens using swing arm 30. When hooking component 8 moves to the second proximity switch 33, a feedback signal is received, and rodless cylinder 16 controls hooking component 8 to stop. At this time, hook claw 31 is exactly located under hooking edge 12. Then, through the action of drive cylinder 28, hook claw 31 hooks hooking edge 12. Then rodless cylinder 16 starts again, pulling hooking component 8 back to the third proximity switch 34, sending a feedback signal to control hooking component 8 to stop. Then drive cylinder 28 releases hooking edge 12 from material tray 6, and hooking component 8 automatically returns to its original position, thus completing one hooking operation.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
