The whole process does not need manual intervention, effectively improves the replacement efficiency of the vulcanization capsule 200, and can ensure safety.

[0066] In the embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the center column 120 is provided with a limiting groove 122; the limiting part 1 comprises a limiting piece 11, a blocking piece 12 and a pin 13, the limiting piece 11 is partially arranged in the limiting groove 122, and the limiting piece 11 can form a penetrating space for penetrating the center column 120 together with the blocking piece 12; wherein one end of the blocking piece 12 is rotationally connected with the limiting piece 11, and the other end can be fixedly connected with the limiting piece 11 through the pin 13. It can be understood that, the limiting piece 11 is partially arranged in the limiting groove 122, then the blocking piece 12 is rotated, so that the other end of the blocking piece 12 can be rotated to the position connected with the limiting piece 11, and finally the blocking piece 12 is fixed by the pin 13, so that the installation of the limiting part 1 can be completed. The limiting groove 122 is an annular groove, and the limiting piece 11 can be rotated circumferentially along the annular groove to adapt to different assembly positions, thereby improving the applicability of the replacement device.

[0067] Preferably, the limiting piece 11 is a U-shaped limiting block, a limiting extension block 113 is arranged on the inner side wall of the U-shaped limiting block, and the limiting extension block 113 is slidably matched with the limiting groove 122, so as to facilitate the installation of the limiting piece 11 to the center column 120. The two ends of the U-shaped limiting block are defined as a first end 111 and a second end 112, the blocking piece 12 is a cross bar, one end of the blocking piece 12 is rotationally arranged at the first end 111, the other end is provided with a positioning hole, the second end 112 is arranged in a positioning groove 1121, a pin hole is arranged on the side of the U-shaped limiting block where the second end 112 is located, the pin hole is in communication with the positioning groove 1121, and the blocking piece 12 can be located in the positioning groove 1121 after rotation to close the penetrating space, and then the pin 13 is pushed to move so that the pin 13 is inserted into the positioning hole.

[0068] In addition, the limiting part 1 further comprises a return spring, the return spring is sleeved outside the pin 13 and is compressed inside the limiting piece 11, and can be elastically deformed when the pin 13 moves away from the positioning hole to have elastic potential energy for reinserting into the positioning hole.

[0069] Further, the end of the blocking piece 12 away from the pin 13 is provided with a lug extending to the outside of the limiting piece 11; wherein the dismounting part 3 comprises a dismounting support 31, a dismounting piece 32 and a pressing piece 33, the dismounting support 31 is connected with the driving end 21; the dismounting piece 32 is vertically arranged on the dismounting support 31, and the end away from the dismounting support 31 is provided with a cutting surface 321, the driving part 2 is used to drive the dismounting piece 32 to move close to the pin 13, so that the pin tail abuts against the cutting surface 321, thereby the pin 13 slides along the axial direction and is separated from the blocking piece 12; the pressing piece 33 is vertically arranged on the dismounting support 31, and the pressing piece 33 is used to press the lug after the pin 13 is separated from the blocking piece 12, so as to open the penetrating space. It can be understood that when it is needed to dismount the connection between the limiting part 1 and the center column 120, the driving part 2 controls the dismounting support 31 to move close to the limiting part 1, at this time, the end of the dismounting piece 32 is between the pin tail of the pin 13 and the limiting block, along with the continuous movement of the dismounting support 31 controlled by the driving part 2, the pin tail can abut against the cutting surface 321, due to the increasing thickness of the dismounting piece 32, the pin 13 can be pushed to move away from the lug, thereby the limiting of the blocking piece 12 is released, at this time, the reset spring is in a compressed state, along with the continuous movement of the dismounting support 31 controlled by the driving part 2, the pressing piece 33 can push the lug to rotate downward, and the side away from the lug rotates upward, so as to open the penetrating space, and the pressing piece 33 is preferably in a strip shape.

[0070] Preferably, when the penetrating space is opened, the lug can abut against the limiting piece 11, so that the blocking piece 12 inclines towards the inner side of the penetrating space, when the limiting piece 11 is installed, the dismounting support 31 can move upward under the action of the driving part 2, thereby the pressing piece 33 can be separated from the lug, the blocking piece 12 can rotate under the action of its own gravity and be in the positioning groove 1121, and along with the continuous movement of the dismounting support 31, the dismounting piece 32 is separated from the pin tail, under the action of the reset spring, the pin 13 can be reinserted into the positioning hole.

[0071] Preferably, the dismounting piece 32 comprises two dismounting rods 322, the side away from the dismounting support 31 of each of the two dismounting rods 322 is provided with a cutting surface 321, the two dismounting rods 322 constitute a Y shape, so as to form an avoiding groove 323 between the two dismounting rods 322 for avoiding the pin 13, in the movement process of the dismounting piece 32, the pin body of the pin 13 can enter the avoiding groove 323, and the cutting surfaces 321 on both sides can abut against the pin tail, so as to push the pin 13 to move.

[0072] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the pin tail can abut against the two cutting surfaces 321 at the same time, a washer with a diameter larger than the pin tail can be sleeved on the pin 13.

[0073] In this embodiment, the disassembling part 3 further comprises a clamping mechanism 34, which is arranged on the disassembling support 31 and used for clamping the limiting part 11, and the driving part 2 is further used for moving the limiting part 11 along the radial direction of the center column 120. It can be understood that after the stopper 12 is opened, the entire limiting part is still at the top of the vulcanization capsule 200, at this time the clamping mechanism 34 can clamp the limiting part 11, and then under the action of the driving part 2, the disassembling part 32 can be moved along the radial direction of the center column 120, thereby facilitating the subsequent disengagement of the vulcanization capsule 200 from the center column 120.

[0074] For example, the clamping mechanism 34 is an electric claw, which has two clamping ends respectively located on both sides of the limiting part 11, and the two clamping ends can move relative to each other to clamp the limiting part 11.

[0075] It should be noted that after the limiting part 11 is removed, the driving part 2 can place the limiting part 11 on the buffer rack, so as to reinstall the limiting part 11 on the center column 120 after the vulcanization capsule 200 is replaced. In this embodiment, the vulcanization capsule replacement device further comprises a visual positioning part 5 and a posture adjusting part 6, the visual positioning part 5 is arranged on the driving end 21 and electrically connected with the driving part 2, and the visual positioning part 5 is used for positioning the limiting part 11; the posture adjusting part 6 is arranged on the driving end 21, and the posture adjusting part 6 is used for adjusting the posture of the limiting part 11 to make the limiting part 11 in a preset posture. It can be understood that due to the vibration of the vulcanizing machine or in different replacement scenarios, the position of the limiting part 1 will be adjusted, therefore, before the connection between the limiting part 1 and the center column 120 is released, the visual positioning part 5 is used for visually positioning the position of the limiting part 1, and the visual positioning part 5 is preferably an industrial vision camera in the prior art. And the visual positioning part 5 can transmit the position information of the limiting part 1 to the driving part 2, and then under the action of the posture adjusting part 6, the limiting part 1 is adjusted to a preset posture, so as to facilitate the disassembling part 3 to disassemble and assemble the connection between the limiting part 1 and the center column 120. The preset posture refers to a position facilitating the disassembling part 3 to disassemble and assemble the limiting part 1.

[0076] Among them, the posture adjusting mechanism is an adjusting cover, which is matched with the limiting part 11 and can cover the limiting part 11 under the action of the driving part 2 to limit both sides of the limiting part 11, and then the adjusting cover is driven to rotate to the required position by the driving part 2 to complete the posture adjustment of the limiting part 1.

[0077] In this embodiment, since the capsule body 210 of the vulcanization capsule 200 is flexible rubber, and the upper clasp 220 and the lower clasp 230 are relatively heavy, in order to ensure the stability of the vulcanization capsule 200 during replacement, the upper clasp 220 and the lower clasp 230 need to be locked at the same time by the locking part 4.

[0078] Specifically, the locking portion 4 comprises a first locking mechanism 41 and a second locking mechanism 42. The first locking mechanism 41 is arranged on the driving end 21 and has a first locking end for locking the upper clamping ring 220. The second locking mechanism 42 is arranged on the driving end 21 and has a second locking end for locking the lower clamping ring 230, which is below the first locking end. It can be understood that the first locking mechanism 41 can lock the upper clamping ring 220, and the second locking mechanism 42 can lock the lower clamping ring 230, so that the vulcanization capsule 200 can be kept in a vertical arrangement during the carrying process. The vertically arranged vulcanization capsule 200 can uniformly distribute its gravity along the axial direction, thereby avoiding radial deformation caused by horizontal placement, so as to ensure the stability of the vulcanization capsule 200 during the carrying process. Moreover, the carrying device does not need manual intervention during the carrying process, thereby improving the carrying efficiency and safety performance.

[0079] The second locking mechanism 42 comprises at least two locking arms 421 and at least two locking claws 422. The at least two locking arms 421 are respectively arranged on the connecting portion and are uniformly distributed around the vertical center line of the vulcanization capsule 200 and can be synchronously radially moved to form a centering structure. The at least two locking claws 422 are arranged on the locking arms 421 one by one and can cooperate with each other to form the second locking end. It can be understood that after the vulcanization capsule 200 is assembled, the whole is arranged in a vertical state, that is, the axis of the vulcanization capsule 200 is in a vertical direction. When the second locking mechanism 42 locks the lower clamping ring 230, the vulcanization capsule 200 is arranged between the at least two locking arms 421, and the at least two locking arms 421 form a centering structure, which can center the lower clamping ring 230 and lock and hold the lower clamping ring 230. In addition, the mechanical locking of the lower clamping ring 230 can provide rigid support to further improve the stability of the vulcanization capsule 200 during the carrying process. In particular, when carrying heavy capsules, mechanical clamping provides stronger holding force.

[0080] It should be noted that the bottom of the connecting portion is provided with a plurality of linear guides, which are arranged in correspondence with the locking arms 421. The length direction of each linear guide is consistent with the radial direction of the vulcanization capsule 200. The second locking mechanism 42 further comprises an electric linear module arranged on the connecting portion and used for driving the locking arms 421 to move along the linear guides. The first locking mechanism 41 is an electromagnetic adsorption structure, which comprises an electromagnetic adsorption ring forming the first locking end and arranged coaxially with the vertical center line of the vulcanization capsule 200. It can be understood that the electromagnetic adsorption structure is used to lock the upper clamping ring 220, without the need to design a special clamping structure and add an additional motor as a power source, thereby simplifying the structure. The electromagnetic adsorption structure can quickly and efficiently lock the upper clamping ring 220 to improve the carrying efficiency.

[0081] The electromagnetic adsorption structure further comprises a power supply module, which can provide current to the electromagnetic adsorption ring and adjust the current size to adapt to the upper clamping ring 220 of different weights, thereby further improving the applicability of the carrying device.

[0082] The electromagnetic adsorption locking and mechanical clamping locking are adopted to lock the vulcanization capsule 200, which can simultaneously consider stability and carrying efficiency and form redundant protection, so that the stability of the vulcanization capsule 200 during the carrying process can be temporarily maintained even if one fails, thereby reducing the risk of accidental falling.

[0083] In the embodiment, the inner circumferential wall of the lower clamping ring 230 is provided with an annular groove, and a plurality of openings are uniformly and spaced apart at the bottom of the annular groove; a plurality of protrusions 1110 are uniformly and spaced apart on the outer circumferential wall of the cylinder head 110, the protrusions 1110 are matched with the annular groove, the lower clamping ring 230 has a locking state in which the protrusions 1110 and the openings are staggered, and an unlocking state in which the protrusions 1110 and the openings are opposite, and the driving part 2 is used to drive the lower clamping ring 230 to switch between the locking state and the unlocking state. It can be understood that when the vulcanization capsule 200 is removed, the lower clamping ring 230 needs to be switched from the locking state to the unlocking state, and after the second locking end locks the lower clamping ring 230, the driving part 2 can drive the lower clamping ring 230 to rotate, so that the openings can be rotated to a position opposite to the protrusions 1110, and then the driving part 2 can lift the vulcanization capsule 200 to complete the removal of the vulcanization capsule 200 to be replaced. When replacing a new vulcanization capsule 200, the first locking end locks the upper clamping ring 220, and the second locking end locks the lower clamping ring 230, and under the action of the driving part 2, the new vulcanization capsule 200 can be moved to the upper side of the center mechanism 100. Since the positions of the first locking end and the second locking end do not change during the movement, the posture of the capsule body 210 does not change during the movement of the vulcanization capsule 200, thereby ensuring the stability of the vulcanization capsule 200. When the driving part 2 places the vulcanization capsule 200 on the center mechanism 100, the protrusions 1110 are opposite to the openings, so that the top end of the center column 120 can pass through the lower clamping ring 230, the capsule body 210 and the upper clamping ring 220 in turn, and the protrusions 1110 can be located in the annular groove. Then the driving part 2 rotates the lower clamping ring 230, so that the protrusions 1110 and the openings are staggered, that is, the driving part 2 can switch the lower clamping ring 230 from the unlocking state to the locking state, and then under the cooperation of the driving part 2 and the clamping mechanism 34, the limiting piece 11 can be inserted into the limiting groove 122 to complete the replacement of the vulcanization capsule 200.

[0084] In this embodiment, the vulcanizing capsule replacement device further comprises a storage part 7, a moving part 8, and a plurality of temporary storage parts 9. The storage part 7 is used to store new vulcanizing capsules 200 to be replaced. The moving part 8 reciprocally moves between the center mechanism 100 and the storage part 7. The plurality of temporary storage parts 9 are arranged at intervals on the moving part 8, and the number of temporary storage parts 9 is greater than the number of vulcanizing capsules 200 to be replaced. Any temporary storage part 9 is used to temporarily store a vulcanizing capsule 200 to be replaced or a new vulcanizing capsule 200. The driving part 2 is arranged on the moving part 8, and the driving part 2 is used to carry the new vulcanizing capsule 200 on the storage part 7 to the temporary storage part 9, and is also used to carry the vulcanizing capsule 200 to be replaced on the center mechanism 100 to the idle temporary storage part 9 and carry the new vulcanizing capsule 200 on the temporary storage part 9 to the center mechanism 100 when the moving part 8 moves to the center mechanism 100. The moving part 8 is preferably an AGV vehicle.

[0085] It can be understood that when the vulcanizing capsule 200 needs to be replaced, the moving part 8 with the driving part 2 moves to the position where the storage part 7 is located. Under the action of the driving part 2 and the locking part 4, the new vulcanizing capsule 200 can be placed on the temporary storage part 9. Then the moving part 8 carrying the new vulcanizing capsule 200 moves to the position of the vulcanizing machine. Under the combined action of the driving part 2, the contact part, and the locking part 4, the vulcanizing capsule 200 to be replaced can be removed from the center mechanism 100 and placed on the idle temporary storage part 9. Then under the combined action of the driving part 2, the contact part, and the locking part 4, the vulcanizing capsule 200 can be installed on the center mechanism 100. The whole process does not need manual intervention, which can improve safety and replacement efficiency.

[0086] The storage part 7 comprises a storage table 71 and a plurality of storage mechanisms 72. The plurality of storage mechanisms 72 are arranged on any storage mechanism 72 to vertically fix the new vulcanizing capsule 200, and the number of stored new vulcanizing capsules 200 is less than the number of storage mechanisms 72. It can be understood that after the replacement of the vulcanizing capsule 200 is completed, the transportation part can transport the vulcanizing capsule 200 to be replaced to the storage part 7. Under the combined action of the driving part 2, the contact part, and the locking part 4, the vulcanizing capsule 200 to be replaced can be placed on the idle storage mechanism 72 for recycling. It should be noted that the specific structure of the center mechanism 100, the temporary storage part 9, and the storage mechanism 72 is consistent. In this way, the vulcanizing capsule 200 can be kept in an extended state at different stations, thereby ensuring the stability of the vulcanizing capsule 200.
