Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive filter processing technology, specifically to an automatic loading and unloading automotive filter end cap separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Filter elements are used to separate solid particles from liquids or gases, or to allow different substances to come into full contact, accelerating reaction time. They can protect the normal operation of equipment or ensure air cleanliness. When fluid enters a filter element with a filter screen of a certain size, impurities are blocked, while clean fluid flows out through the filter element. Liquid filter elements purify contaminated liquids to a state suitable for production and daily life, achieving a certain level of cleanliness. Air filter elements purify contaminated air to a state suitable for production and daily life, achieving a certain level of air cleanliness. Automotive filter elements have the following advantages: 1. Excellent chemical compatibility, suitable for filtering strong acids, strong alkalis, and organic solvents; 2. Pleated deep filtration membrane with a large filtration area; 3. Low pressure drop, strong dirt-holding capacity, and long service life; 4. A wide range of filtration precision options; 5. Air purification: Filters out the smallest impurity particles while meeting air intake requirements, protecting the engine; 6. Noise reduction: Effectively reduces engine noise during air intake; 7. Fuel saving: Saves up to 10% on fuel.

[0003] In existing automotive filter structures, the end caps serve to seal both ends of the filter media and support it. One side is stamped into a groove to hold the filter media end face and adhesive, while the other side is bonded with a rubber seal to seal the filter media and the filter channel. However, common automotive filter end cap separation equipment often requires manual loading and unloading of the filter media, followed by separation using a separation structure. This can easily lead to inaccurate heating positions due to manual loading and unloading, resulting in low efficiency and wasted manpower and resources. Therefore, we propose an automatic loading and unloading automotive filter end cap separation device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic loading and unloading automotive filter end cap separation device to solve the problem of labor and material consumption caused by manual loading and unloading mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic loading and unloading automotive filter end cap separation device, comprising a frame, a conveyor belt inside the frame, a telescopic column fixedly connected to the top of the frame, a baffle plate at the power input end of the telescopic column, a drive motor and a side frame fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame, a plurality of telescopic cylinders I on the side wall, a clamping plate inside the frame at the power output end of the telescopic cylinder I, support columns fixedly connected to the frame at both ends of the side frame, a top plate fixedly connected to the top of the support columns, a plurality of telescopic cylinders II on the top of the top plate, a displacement plate fixedly connected to the power output end of the telescopic cylinders II, a plurality of servo motors I embedded in the top of the displacement plate, and a rotating heating element fixedly connected to the power output end of the servo motors I.

[0006] Preferably, the rotating heating element has multiple clamping push rods embedded in its side wall, and the rotating heating element has clamping plates inside that cooperate with the clamping push rods.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping piece has an arc-shaped structure, and the sidewall of the clamping piece is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0008] Preferably, the side wall of the side frame has a limiting post fixed to the clamping plate, and the side wall of the clamping plate has multiple mating grooves.

[0009] Preferably, a rotating plate is fitted on the top of the conveyor belt, and a fixed member is rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating plate.

[0010] Preferably, the power input end of the rotating plate is equipped with a second servo motor, and the side wall of the rotating plate is embedded with multiple gas struts.

[0011] Preferably, the gas strut is provided with an exhaust strip on its side wall, and an air pipe is provided at the input end of the exhaust strip.

[0012] Preferably, a reinforcing strip is fixed to the top of the displacement plate, and the rotating heating element is fitted to the bottom of the displacement plate.

[0013] Preferably, a vertical column is fixed to the right side wall of the rotating plate, and an anti-collision component is provided on the outer wall of the vertical column.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. This invention involves placing multiple automotive filter elements vertically at the left end of a conveyor belt. A telescopic column drives a baffle to separate and block the filter elements. After a group of three filter elements is separated and moved below a displacement plate, a telescopic cylinder extends, causing a clamping plate to move towards the top of the conveyor belt and clamp the filter elements through a mating groove. Then, a second telescopic cylinder on the top plate extends, causing the displacement plate to move downwards and rotate, covering the end caps of the filter elements. Next, a clamping push rod extends, causing the clamping plates to clamp onto the outer wall of the end caps. Finally, a servo motor... The operation causes the rotating heating element to rotate and heat the end cap, allowing it to be separated from the filter element. Then, the clamping plate resets, and the filter element is unloaded from the right end by the conveyor belt. At the same time, the clamping push rod retracts, causing the end cap inside the rotating heating element to fall onto the conveyor belt, thus unloading the end cap. Finally, the displacement plate resets, thereby realizing automatic loading and unloading of filter element end caps. This solves the common problems of manual loading and unloading, which are inefficient and consume a lot of manpower and resources. It saves manpower, facilitates the use of end cap separation equipment, and improves work efficiency and output.

[0016] 2. In the process of conveying automotive filter elements, the telescopic column extends, causing the baffle to move to the top of the conveyor belt, thus blocking the automotive filter elements. When the baffle moves away, the automotive filter elements are carried to the right by the conveyor belt. Then, the telescopic column extends again to block subsequent automotive filter elements. The telescopic column and the baffle blocking together allow for the adjustment of the spacing between the automotive filter elements. At the same time, when the clamping plate clamps the filter elements, the mating grooves allow for more accurate spacing between the automotive filter elements. This ensures normal operation when the rotating heating element separates the end caps of the automotive filter elements, improving the stability of the automotive filter element end cap separation equipment during operation.

[0017] 3. When the present invention separates the car filter end cap, the second servo motor runs to make the rotating plate rotate to the left and right direction. When the conveyor belt is no longer in use, the second servo motor runs to make the rotating plate rotate to the front and back direction. At this time, the exhaust strip is located inside the conveyor belt. At this time, the airflow discharged by the exhaust component can be used to blow dust off the surface of the conveyor belt, which eliminates the trouble of manually cleaning the conveyor belt and facilitates the long-term use of the car filter end cap separation equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example

[0028] Please see Figures 1-7 The figure shows an automatic loading and unloading automotive filter end cap separation device, including a frame 100. The frame 100 is equipped with a conveyor belt 110. The conveyor belt 110 uses a common model on the market. The drive motor 113 can drive the rotating shaft inside the conveyor belt 110 to move the belt body structure that is matched with the outer wall of the rotating shaft to achieve the conveying effect. The width of the conveyor belt 110 is slightly larger than the bottom outer diameter of the automotive filter. The top of the frame 100 is fixed with a telescopic column 111 by bolts.

[0029] In some embodiments, the telescopic column 111 can be electrically connected to a commercially available timer / reverse switch. The telescopic column 111 can be preset by the timer / reverse switch to block and release the automotive filter element, thereby controlling the distance between the automotive filter elements.

[0030] The power input end of the telescopic column 111 is equipped with a baffle 112 that slides against the side wall of the frame 100. The side wall of the frame 100 is bolted to a drive motor 113 that is fitted to the conveyor belt 110 and a side frame 120. The side wall of the side frame 120 is equipped with multiple telescopic cylinders 122. The telescopic cylinders 122 and 132 are common models on the market and use a common external air pump as the air source. The power output end of the telescopic cylinders 122 is equipped with a clamping plate 123 that fits inside the frame 100. The two ends of the side frame 120 are equipped with support columns 130 that are fixed to the frame 100. The top of the support columns 130 is bolted to a top plate 131. The top of the top plate 131 is equipped with multiple telescopic cylinders 132. The power output end of the telescopic cylinders 132 is fixed to a displacement plate 133. The unit is equipped with multiple servo motors 140, and the power output end of each servo motor 140 is fixed to a rotating heating element 150. A common control box is also provided on the side wall of the frame 100. The control box contains multiple microcontrollers commonly available on the market, which are used to control the telescopic cylinder 122, the telescopic cylinder 132, and the clamping push rod 151, respectively. By pre-setting the multiple microcontrollers, the telescopic cylinders 122, 132, and 151 can be coordinated to extend and retract in a timely manner. The microcontrollers can be set after calculating the time it takes for the car filter element to move from the position of the baffle 112 to the side wall of the mating groove 124 of the clamping plate 123. When the rotating heating element 150 separates the end cap, the telescopic cylinder 132 needs to retract slightly so that the end cap can be removed upward from the car filter element.

[0031] Specifically, the rotating heating element 150 has multiple clamping push rods 151 embedded in its side wall;

[0032] In some embodiments, an electric heating wire is embedded in the inner wall of the rotating heating element 150. The electric heating wire is mainly composed of a nickel-chromium alloy wire, a heat-resistant silicone outer sheath, a thermocouple, and an external switch. When the electric heating band 123 is energized, the nickel-chromium alloy wire generates heat. At the same time, the thermocouple is used to detect the temperature and cooperate with the external temperature adjustment switch to adjust the temperature. A brush structure for continuous power supply is provided on the power output shaft of the servo motor 140 at the top of the rotating heating element 150. The outer shell of the brush structure is a common heat-resistant ceramic. The brush structure can be connected to an external power source to continuously supply power to the rotating heating element 150.

[0033] The clamping push rod 151 uses a common heat-resistant electric push rod. The rotating heating element 150 has a clamping plate 152 that matches the power output end of the clamping push rod 151. The clamping plate 152 is made of common stainless steel. When the car filter element after the end cap is separated is carried away from below the rotating heating element 150 by the conveyor belt 110, the rotating heating element 150 can cause the clamping push rod 151 to retract and release the separated end cap. The end cap falls onto the conveyor belt 110 for unloading.

[0034] Furthermore, the clamping piece 152 has an arc-shaped structure, and the side wall of the clamping piece 152 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0035] Furthermore, the side frame 120 has a limiting post 121 that is bolted to the clamping plate 123 through its side wall. The clamping plate 123 has multiple mating grooves 124 on its side wall, and the mating grooves 124 can be machined with textures to increase friction.

[0036] Furthermore, a rotating plate 161 is fitted to the top of the conveyor belt 110, and a fixed fastener 160 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating plate 161.

[0037] Furthermore, the power input end of the rotating plate 161 is provided with a servo motor 165 fixed to the fixing member 160. The servo motor 165 uses a common model on the market and is electrically connected to a common external reversing switch. The power output shaft of the servo motor 165 is rotatably engaged with the fixing member 160 and fixed to the rotating plate 161. Multiple gas struts 163 are embedded in the side wall of the rotating plate 161.

[0038] Furthermore, the gas strut 163 has an exhaust strip 164 on its side wall. The bottom of the exhaust strip 164 is embedded with multiple exhaust ports. The input end of the exhaust strip 164 is equipped with an air pipe, which is a common plastic hose. The input end of the air pipe is equipped with a commercially available air pump with an external switch.

[0039] It is worth noting that a reinforcing strip 134 is bolted to the top of the displacement plate 133, and the rotating heating element 150 is fitted to the bottom of the displacement plate 133.

[0040] It is worth noting that a vertical column is fixed to the right side wall of the rotating plate 161 by bolts, and an anti-collision component 162 is provided on the outer wall of the vertical column. The anti-collision component 162 is made of rubber ring.

[0041] In addition, all the electrical components and equipment mentioned above use external power sources. The circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this invention are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. Furthermore, the scope of protection of this invention does not involve improvements to the internal structure and methods.

[0042] Working principle: When multiple automotive filter elements are placed vertically at the left end of the conveyor belt 110, the telescopic column 111 drives the baffle 112 to block and separate the automotive filter elements. After the separated group of three automotive filter elements moves to below the displacement plate 133, the telescopic cylinder 122 extends, causing the clamping plate 123 to move towards the top of the conveyor belt 110 and clamp and position the group of automotive filter elements through the mating groove 124. Then, the telescopic cylinder 132 on the top plate 131 extends, causing the displacement plate 133 to move downward and rotate the heating element 150 to cover the end cap of the automotive filter element. Then, the clamping push rod 151 extends, causing the clamping plate 15 to rotate. 2. The end cap is clamped to the outer wall of the end cap. Then, the servo motor 165 runs, causing the rotating heating element 150 to rotate and heat the end cap, thus separating the end cap from the filter element. Afterward, the clamping plate 123 resets, and the filter element is unloaded from the right end by the conveyor belt 110. At the same time, the clamping push rod 151 retracts, causing the end cap inside the rotating heating element 150 to fall onto the conveyor belt 110, thus unloading the end cap. Finally, the displacement plate 133 resets, thereby realizing automatic loading and unloading of filter element end caps. This solves the common problems of manual loading and unloading, low efficiency, and high manpower and material costs, saving manpower and facilitating the end cap separation equipment. The use of this system improves work efficiency and output. During the conveying of automotive filter elements, the extension of the telescopic column 111 allows the baffle 112 to move to the top of the conveyor belt 110, thus blocking the automotive filter elements. When the baffle 112 moves away, the automotive filter elements are carried to the right by the conveyor belt 110. Then, the telescopic column 111 extends again to block subsequent automotive filter elements. Thus, the combination of the telescopic column 111 and the baffle 112 allows for adjustment of the spacing between the automotive filter elements. Simultaneously, when the clamping plate 123 clamps the filter elements, the mating groove 124 allows for more accurate spacing between the filter elements, facilitating rotation. The dynamic heating element 150 can operate normally when separating the end caps of the automotive filter element, improving the stability of the automotive filter element end cap separation equipment. When separating the automotive end caps, the servo motor 165 causes the rotating plate 161 to rotate in the left and right directions. When the conveyor belt 110 is no longer in use, the servo motor 165 causes the rotating plate 161 to rotate in the front and back directions. At this time, the exhaust strip 164 is located inside the conveyor belt 110. At this time, the airflow discharged by the exhaust element can be used to blow dust off the surface of the conveyor belt 110, eliminating the trouble of manually cleaning the conveyor belt 110 and facilitating the long-term use of the automotive filter element end cap separation equipment.
