Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of factory-scale silkworm rearing, and specifically relates to an soaking tank of a silkworm rearing equipment soaking unit. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional silkworm rearing methods are small-scale family-run operations, typically using small bamboo baskets for feeding. These baskets are simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and can be hand-woven, resulting in low costs. This small-scale rearing method is entirely manual, requiring human intervention from egg to adult to cocoon harvesting. It is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has very low efficiency. Furthermore, it is limited by seasonal conditions, allowing silkworms to be raised only at specific times, resulting in extremely low annual cocoon production. This method cannot meet the needs of modern society and has been gradually phased out.

[0003] To compensate for the shortcomings of traditional workshop-style silkworm rearing, large-scale, factory-style silkworm rearing technology has emerged. To meet the requirements of large-scale silkworm rearing, specialized silkworm rearing equipment is needed, such as shelves, silkworm frames, and cocoon cages. Based on these equipment, processes such as silkworm rearing, transfer of silkworms between different age groups, and feed delivery are carried out. It is evident that these equipment play an important role in factory-style silkworm rearing technology.

[0004] After silkworm rearing, equipment inevitably retains residues such as feed and silkworm excrement, and its surface is full of bacteria. It needs to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before it can be reused. Therefore, industrialized silkworm rearing technology often requires corresponding cleaning equipment or lines. Existing cleaning equipment usually includes two parts: rinsing and soaking. Rinsing can remove residues from the equipment, and soaking can disinfect bacteria on the surface of the equipment. The main body of the soaking equipment is the soaking tank, which is filled with soaking disinfectant solution for soaking the equipment after silkworm rearing. Existing soaking tanks are integral tanks, which make it difficult to regularly place equipment for soaking and disinfection, thus failing to achieve mechanized and automated soaking operations, and are incompatible with the assembly line soaking units of industrialized silkworm rearing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a soaking tank for a silkworm rearing equipment soaking unit. In view of the defects in the prior art, the soaking tank is designed as a divided tank structure, which is divided into multiple tanks. Each tank is used to place and soak a set of stacked equipment. In the mechanical and automated soaking process, the equipment to be soaked can be picked up and placed into the tanks for soaking in turn, and then the soaked equipment can be picked up from the corresponding tanks and sent out. With the help of mechanical and automated soaking operation, it helps to improve soaking efficiency.

[0006] A soaking tank for a silkworm rearing equipment soaking unit is characterized in that: the soaking tank is divided into compartments, in which equipment is placed and soaked.

[0007] Furthermore, the soaking tank is welded together from 2-10 tank sections, with slots provided within the tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the tank has 2-20 slots.

[0009] Furthermore, the slots are divided by partitions.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting plate is provided in the slot to limit the position of the device in the slot.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting plates include a front limiting plate, a rear limiting plate, a left limiting plate, and a right limiting plate, which respectively limit the front, rear, left, and right sides of the device.

[0012] Furthermore, there are at least two front limit plates, rear limit plates, left limit plates, and right limit plates.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting plate is equipped with brushes to prevent the appliances in the slot from floating up.

[0014] Furthermore, a support is provided at the bottom of the slot to support the appliances in the slot.

[0015] Furthermore, the support is grid-like.

[0016] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention designs the soaking tank as a segmented structure, dividing it into multiple slots. Each slot is used to place and soak a set of stacked utensils. In the mechanized and automated soaking process, the utensils to be soaked can be picked up sequentially and placed into the slots for soaking, and then the soaked utensils can be picked up from the corresponding slots and sent out. Combined with the mechanized and automated soaking operation, this helps to improve soaking efficiency.

[0018] The limiting plate can limit the position of the equipment in the tank, preventing it from shifting due to the buoyancy of the disinfectant solution, so that the robotic arm can accurately grasp the equipment after soaking. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0039] This utility model aims to provide a soaking tank for a silkworm rearing equipment soaking unit. The soaking tank is designed with a divided tank structure, which is divided into multiple tanks. Each tank is used to place and soak a set of stacked equipment. In the mechanized and automated soaking process, the equipment to be soaked can be picked up sequentially and placed into the tank for soaking. Then, the soaked equipment can be picked up from the corresponding tank and sent out. With the help of mechanized and automated soaking operations, it helps to improve soaking efficiency.

[0040] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0041] A soaking tank for a silkworm rearing equipment soaking unit, particularly a soaking tank 2 for a silkworm rearing shelf 7, is installed in a specially designed mounting tank 6. The mounting tank 6 can be made of cement, profiles, steel, or other materials, so that it can be stably installed in the mounting tank 6.

[0042] The soaking tank 2 is welded together from four tank sections 22. Dividers 24 are spaced evenly between the tank sections 22, forming compartments 21. Each compartment 21 has the same shape, structure, and dimensions. Each tank section 22 contains eight compartments 21. The four tank sections 22 are combined to form a soaking tank 2 with 32 compartments 21. The number of tank sections 22 and the number of compartments 21 in each section can be adaptively set according to cleaning requirements, thus adjusting the total number of compartments 21 in the soaking tank 2.

[0043] Each tank 21 can only hold one set of shelves 7 for soaking. The partition 24 does not completely separate the tanks. The tanks 21 can be interconnected to facilitate the flow of the soaking disinfectant. Multiple partitions 24 can be set from top to bottom.

[0044] The bottom of slot 21 is provided with a support 23, which is used to support the shelf 7, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the support 23 is grid-shaped, which can save on the use of sheet metal while ensuring the support effect.

[0045] The tank 21 is also equipped with limiting plates, including a front limiting plate 28, a rear limiting plate 27, a left limiting plate 25, and a right limiting plate 26, which respectively limit the front, rear, left, and right sides of the shelf 7. There are two of each of the following limiting plates: front 28, rear 27, left 25, and right 26, which can balance the limiting force on the shelf 7. The left limiting plate 25 and right limiting plate 26 are equipped with brushes (not shown in the figure). The brushes are vertically positioned so that after the shelf 7 enters the tank 21, the brushes can be inserted between the shelves 7, thereby preventing the shelves 7 from floating and ensuring that the upper shelf 7 is also submerged in the soaking disinfectant solution. In addition, each tank 21 can be connected to a pipeline to replenish the soaking disinfectant solution to the soaking tank 2.

[0046] The soaking unit also includes a loading platform 1, a unloading platform 3, and a robotic arm 4. The loading platform 1 is used to receive the shelves 7 to be cleaned and feed them into the soaking tank 2. The unloading platform 3 is used to receive the cleaned shelves 7 from the soaking tank 2 and send them out. The robotic arm 4 is used to pick up the shelves 7 to be cleaned from the loading platform 1 and put them into the soaking tank 2, and pick up the cleaned shelves 7 from the soaking tank 2 and put them into the unloading platform 3. In this soaking unit, the shelves 7 are stacked in multiple groups for the loading-soaking-unloading process.

[0047] The loading platform 1 includes a loading conveyor 11, which is a chain conveyor. Two of these conveyors are provided to receive the shelves 7 to be soaked in sequence. After the shelves 7 are loaded into the soaking tank 2, the shelves 7 will be fed in to fill the gap. This cycle continues to provide shelves 7 to the robotic arm 4, which then sends them into the soaking tank 2.

[0048] The unloading platform 3 includes an unloading conveyor 31, which is a chain conveyor. Two unloading conveyors 31 are provided to receive the soaked shelves 7 in sequence and send the soaked shelves 7 out in sequence. Each time the shelf 7 is soaked, it is fed into the unloading conveyor 31 by the robotic arm 4 and the soaked shelf 7 is conveyed forward, so that the unloading conveyor 31 is idle. This cycle is repeated to send out the soaked shelves 7.

[0049] To accommodate the robotic arm 4, the soaking unit also includes a frame 5, which covers the loading platform 1, the unloading platform 3, and the soaking tank 2. The frame 5 is equipped with a travel track (not shown in the figure) for the robotic arm 4 to move laterally. This travel track can also be positioned along the edge of the mounting groove 6, and can be adjusted to suit the structure of the robotic arm 4.

[0050] The robotic arm 4 includes a frame 41, a lifting mechanism 42, a traveling mechanism 45, and a gripping mechanism 43. The lifting mechanism 42 is mounted on the frame 41 and is used to drive the gripping mechanism 43 to rise and fall. The traveling mechanism 45 is mounted on the frame 41 and is used to drive the robotic arm 4 to move laterally, thereby driving the gripping mechanism 43 to move laterally. The gripping mechanism 43 is mounted on the lifting mechanism 42 and is used to grip the shelf 7. Specifically:

[0051] The lifting mechanism 42 includes a lifting motor assembly 421, a lifting transmission assembly, and a lifting frame 425. The lifting motor assembly 421 is connected to the lifting transmission assembly via a lifting shaft 422. The lifting transmission assembly has two sets of components that cooperate with each other: a first lifting transmission assembly 423 on the left and a second lifting transmission assembly 424 on the right. The first lifting transmission assembly 423 includes a first lifting master sprocket 4231, a first lifting slave sprocket 4233, and a first lifting chain 4232. The first lifting master sprocket 4231 is connected to the lifting shaft 422 for transmission. The first lifting master sprocket 4231 and the first lifting slave sprocket 4233 are used to connect and transmit the first lifting chain 4232. The first lifting chain 4232 is connected to the connector 4251 on the left side of the lifting frame 425. The second lifting transmission assembly 424 includes a second lifting master sprocket 4241, a second lifting slave sprocket 4243, and a second lifting chain 4242. The second lifting master sprocket 4241 is connected to the lifting shaft 422 for transmission. The second lifting master sprocket 4241 and the second lifting slave sprocket 4243 are used to connect and drive the second lifting chain 4242, which is connected to the connector 4251 on the right side of the lifting frame 425. The first lifting transmission assembly 423 and the second lifting transmission assembly 424 cooperate with each other to drive the lifting frame 425 to rise and fall synchronously. This lifting mechanism 42 has a simple structure and strong practicality. By setting two sets of lifting transmission assemblies, the stability of the lifting frame 425 can be enhanced.

[0052] To further enhance lifting stability, the lifting mechanism 42 also includes a lifting guide assembly, which includes a lifting pulley 426 and a lifting guide rail 427. The lifting pulley 426 is mounted on the lifting frame 425, and the lifting guide rail 427 is mounted on the frame 41. The two work together to guide the lifting movement of the lifting frame 425, significantly improving the lifting stability of the lifting frame 425. The guide assembly has four symmetrical sets, with two sets on each of the left and right sides.

[0053] The traveling mechanism 45 includes a traveling motor unit 451 and a traveling component. The traveling motor unit 451 is connected to and drives the traveling component via a traveling shaft 452, causing the traveling component to travel laterally on the traveling track. The traveling component includes a first traveling component 453 on the left and a second traveling component 454 on the right. The first traveling component 453 includes a first traveling bracket 4535 and a first traveling main wheel 4534 and a first traveling secondary wheel 4537 connected to the first traveling bracket 4535. It also includes a first traveling main sprocket 4531, a first traveling secondary sprocket 4533, and a first traveling chain 4532. The traveling shaft 452 on the left side of the traveling motor unit 451 is connected to and drives the first traveling main sprocket 4531. The first traveling main sprocket 4531 drives the first traveling secondary sprocket 4533 via the first traveling chain 4532. The first traveling secondary sprocket 4533 is connected to and drives the first traveling main wheel 4534, which in turn drives the first traveling secondary wheel 4537. In addition, a first guide roller 4536 is connected to the outer side of the first traveling bracket 4535, which not only serves a guiding function but also improves the stability of travel. The second traveling assembly 454 includes a second traveling bracket 4545 and a second traveling main wheel 4544 and a second traveling auxiliary wheel 4547 connected to the second traveling bracket 4545. It also includes a second traveling main sprocket 4541, a second traveling auxiliary sprocket 4543, and a second traveling chain 4542. The traveling shaft 452 on the right side of the traveling motor unit 451 is connected to and drives the second traveling main sprocket 4541. The second traveling main sprocket 4541 drives the second traveling auxiliary sprocket 4543 through the second traveling chain 4542. The second traveling auxiliary sprocket 4543 is connected to and drives the second traveling main wheel 4544, which in turn drives the second traveling auxiliary wheel 4547. In addition, a second guide roller 4546 is connected to the outer side of the second traveling bracket 4545, which not only serves a guiding function but also improves the stability of travel.

[0054] The first walking component 453 and the second walking component 454 cooperate with each other to move laterally on the corresponding walking track with synchronized walking movements, thereby driving the entire robotic arm 4 to move laterally. The walking mechanism 45 has a simple structure and strong practicality. By setting two sets of walking components, the stability of the robotic arm 4 can be enhanced.

[0055] The clamping mechanism 43 is installed on the lifting frame 425 and includes two sets of clamping assemblies that cooperate with each other: a first clamping assembly 431 on the left and a second clamping assembly 432 on the right. The two sets of clamping assemblies are arranged opposite each other and clamp or lower the shelf 7 through their cooperative action. The first clamping assembly 431 includes a first clamping cylinder 4311 and a first clamping plate 4314. The first clamping cylinder 4311 is arranged to the left and connected to the first clamping plate 4314, which is used to drive the first clamping plate 4314 to move left and right. The bottom of the first clamping plate 4314 is provided with a support 433, which can be inserted into the bottom of the shelf 7 to clamp the shelf 7. The first clamping assembly 431 also includes a first clamping slider 4312 and a first clamping guide rail 4313 connected together. The first clamping slider 4312 is disposed on the first clamping plate 4314, and the first clamping guide rail 4313 is disposed on the lifting frame 425. The two cooperate to guide the left and right movement of the first clamping plate 4314. The second clamping assembly 432 includes a second clamping cylinder 4321 and a second clamping plate 4324. The second clamping cylinder 4321 is disposed to the right and connected to the second clamping plate 4324 for driving the second clamping plate 4324 to move left and right. The bottom of the second clamping plate 4324 is provided with a support 433, which can be inserted into the bottom of the shelf 7 to clamp the shelf 7. The second clamping assembly 432 also includes a connected second clamping slider 4322 and a second clamping guide rail 4323. The second clamping slider 4322 is disposed on the second clamping plate 4324, and the second clamping guide rail 4323 is disposed on the lifting frame 425. The two cooperate to guide the left and right movement of the second clamping plate 4324. The first clamping assembly 431 and the second clamping assembly 432 on the right side clamp the shelf 7 from the left and right sides respectively, and cooperate to grab or lower the shelf 7.

[0056] The clamping mechanism 43 can be adapted to be set in multiple sets according to the soaking production requirements. Two sets are set in the attached drawings of this application. Each set of clamping mechanism 43 is used to clamp a set of shelves 7. Therefore, this application can clamp two sets at the same time to achieve the purpose of simultaneously feeding, soaking and unloading two sets of shelves 7.

[0057] The robotic arm 4 also includes a pressing mechanism 44, which comprises a pressing rod 442 and a spring rod 441 connected together. Two spring rods 441 are connected to the upper end of the pressing rod 442, balancing the rebound force applied to it. The pressing rod 442 is used to press the shelf 7 of the clamp, thereby improving the stability of the clamp. The spring rods 441 provide a rebound force to the pressing rod 442, strengthening its pressing force on the shelf 7 and further improving the stability of the clamp. To ensure the stability of the spring rods 441, they are installed in a limiting mounting member 443, which is U-shaped. The spring rods 441 are installed in the U-shaped groove of the limiting mounting member 443. Each clamping mechanism 43 corresponds to two pressing mechanisms 44, improving the stability of the pressing action.

[0058] The soaking process of this soaking unit includes the following steps:

[0059] 1. The two sets of shelves 7 feed the material to the loading platform 1.

[0060] 2. The robotic arm 4 moves above the loading platform 1 and, after descending, clamping, and lifting, grabs the two sets of shelves 7.

[0061] 3. The robotic arm 4 moves horizontally above the empty slot 21, and after descending-lowering-lifting, it places the gripped shelf 7 into the corresponding slot 21.

[0062] 4. After the shelves 7 have finished soaking, the robotic arm 4 moves horizontally above the corresponding slot 21, and after a descent-grip-lifting action, grabs the two sets of soaked shelves 7.

[0063] 5. The robotic arm 4 moves horizontally to above the unloading platform 3, and after descending, lowering and lifting, it places the soaked shelf 7 it has grabbed onto the unloading platform 3 and sends it out.

[0064] 6. Repeat steps 1-5 above to achieve a continuous feeding-soaking-unloading process.

[0065] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
