Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of core encapsulation technology, and in particular to an automatic core wrapping device. Background Technology

[0002] Core samples are unique, non-renewable, and possess immense potential value. They are crucial for studying subsurface structure, determining geological age, and identifying mineral deposits. Due to their special nature, core samples require special protection measures during preservation and transportation; wrapping is a common method of preservation.

[0003] Traditional methods often involve manually wrapping core samples with plastic film or aluminum foil. However, manual wrapping is inefficient, makes it difficult to guarantee the quality and consistency of the wrapping, and easily contaminates the sample. Furthermore, wrapping equipment used in other fields typically involves rotating the material during wrapping, which is unsuitable for core samples. During the wrapping process, the core should be kept horizontal to avoid rotation or disturbance that could disrupt its structure.

[0004] In addition, the relevant technology uses the rotation of the winding disc to wrap the material. The winding disc has a notch to facilitate the removal of the material. However, the presence of a notch on the winding disc will affect the structural strength. The winding disc is prone to deformation during long-term use, making it difficult for the winding disc to be perfectly matched with the transmission mechanism that drives its rotation.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] In the description of this application, the use of terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "an example," "some instances," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," and "some examples" indicates that the specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application provides an automatic core wrapping device, which includes a base 100 and a rotating component 201.

[0036] The base 100 supports the rotating component 201, which wraps the core sample with a protective film by rotating itself, eliminating the need for the core sample to rotate and avoiding the disruption of the core structure caused by rotation and disturbance. Simultaneously, the core sample can move horizontally. The protective film is first attached to the head of the core sample, and through the combined action of the horizontal movement of the core sample and the rotation of the rotating component 201, the core sample is completely wrapped from head to tail. This allows the core sample to enter or leave the automatic wrapping device during horizontal movement, eliminating the need for the rotating component 201 to have notches or other structures that reduce its strength for easy core sample removal and preventing deformation of the rotating component 201 during prolonged use.

[0037] In some examples, the base 100 is erected and remains in a stable position. The rotating component 201 is mounted on the base 100 and is able to rotate on the base 100, facilitating the rotating component 201 to complete the rotating film wrapping process.

[0038] Furthermore, the rotating component 201 is capable of rotation, and the rotating component 201 is provided with a support 202 for storing the wrapping material. Specifically, the wrapping material is a roll, and the support 202 is formed as a rod-shaped structure connected to the rotating component 201, with the roll of wrapping material sleeved on the support 202.

[0039] The core sample is located in the middle of the rotating component 201. When the rotating component 201 rotates, it will drive the support 202 to rotate together, so that the support 202 makes a circular motion around the core sample, so as to wrap the film material around the surface of the core sample one circle at a time.

[0040] Meanwhile, the rotating component 201 is hollow, and the core sample located in the hollow part of the rotating component 201 can move within the range of the hollow part. The movement of the core sample and the rotation of the rotating component 201 are carried out together, ensuring that the wrapping material can be gradually wrapped from the head to the tail of the core sample, so as to isolate the core sample from the external environment and avoid weathering, oxidation and other conditions of the core sample.

[0041] Specifically, the wrapping material on the support 202 is first attached to the head of the core sample. As the rotating component 201 rotates, the wrapping material can continuously wrap around the surface of the core sample. At the same time, the core sample can move horizontally, gradually changing the position of the core sample being wrapped until the wrapping material is wrapped around the tail of the core sample, thus completing the entire wrapping process.

[0042] In addition, the horizontal movement of core samples can be achieved using external conveyor belts or other devices.

[0043] Furthermore, current wrapping devices that do not rotate during the wrapping process often include a rotating component 201 with a notch to facilitate material removal from the hollow portion of the rotating component 201. However, in the wrapping device of this application, the material can enter or exit the hollow portion of the rotating component 201 in a horizontally moving manner during use. Therefore, the rotating component 201 of the wrapping device of this application is formed as a closed ring structure, eliminating the need for notches or similar structures.

[0044] It is understandable that notches and other structures on the rotating component 201 can affect its structural strength, and may lead to deformation during prolonged use. Such structural damage can cause poor transmission between the rotating component 201 and the rotational transmission mechanism. In contrast, the rotating component 201 of this application is a closed annular structure to increase its structural strength and thus ensure the normal operation of the automatic wrapping device.

[0045] The contents of this application are described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following description is merely illustrative and not a specific limitation of this application.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the base 100 has a through-hole portion 101, and the through-hole portion 101 is located in the middle of the base 100. At the same time, the rotating component 201 is mounted in the middle of the base 100, so that the rotating component 201 corresponds to the through-hole portion 101.

[0047] In this configuration, the projection of the hollow portion of the rotating component 201 onto the base 100 lies within the area of ​​the hollow portion 101. Therefore, the hollow portion of the rotating component 201 communicates with the hollow portion 101, forming a movement channel for the core sample. When the core sample moves horizontally within this channel, the wrapping material can wrap from the head to the tail of the core sample, isolating it from the external environment.

[0048] Specifically, the hollow part of the rotating component 201 is roughly circular, and correspondingly, the hollow part 101 is also roughly circular.

[0049] Meanwhile, the area of ​​the hollow portion of the rotating component 201 is smaller than the area of ​​the hollow portion 101. When the hollow portion of the rotating component 201 is coaxially arranged with the hollow portion 101, a part of the solid structure of the rotating component 201 is located within the range of the hollow portion 101, and the support 202 is arranged on this part of the solid structure to avoid structural interference between the support 202 and the base 100.

[0050] In some examples, the base 100 is provided with a notch 102 that extends from the edge of the base 100 to the cutout 101. While ensuring the stable rotation of the rotating component 201, the notch 102 can reduce the volume of the base 100 and help to make the automatic wrapping device lighter.

[0051] In some examples, the base 100 is provided with an installation space 105 for mounting the rotating component 201. The installation space 105 contains a transmission mechanism, which has two functions: first, the transmission mechanism supports the rotating component 201, ensuring its stable position on the base 100 and guaranteeing that the hollow portion of the rotating component 201 is coaxial with the openwork portion 101, thus forming a stable moving channel between them; second, the transmission mechanism is connected to the rotating component 201, thereby driving the rotating component 201 to rotate.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the base 100 includes a first support plate 103 and a second support plate 104. The first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 form the basic structure of the base 100, and the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 have the same shape. Both the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 are provided with a hollow part 101 and a notch 102.

[0053] Furthermore, the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 are spaced apart, thereby defining an installation space 105 between the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 for mounting the rotating component 201 and the transmission mechanism.

[0054] It is understandable that when the rotating component 201 is installed on the base 100, the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 clamp the rotating component 201.

[0055] In some examples, the transmission mechanism includes a transmission wheel assembly 106 that contacts the rotating component 201. Specifically, the transmission wheel assembly 106 is located at the edge of the rotating component 201. When the transmission wheel assembly 106 rotates, friction is generated between the transmission wheel assembly 106 and the rotating component 201. The transmission wheel assembly 106 drives the rotating component 201 to rotate through the friction, thereby completing the core sample coating process.

[0056] In some examples, the drive wheel assembly 106 includes a driving wheel and a driven wheel, both of which are rotatable within the mounting space 105. Both the driving wheel and the driven wheel are in contact with the rotating component 201, thereby driving the rotating component 201 to rotate by friction.

[0057] Since the rotating component 201 is formed in a circular shape, the driving wheel and each driven wheel are arranged in a circular distribution to match the shape of the rotating component 201.

[0058] Furthermore, the driving wheel and each driven wheel are linked, so that when the driving wheel rotates, it can drive each driven wheel to rotate at the same amplitude. The automatic wrapping device also includes a drive motor, which is connected to the driving wheel and is used to drive the driving wheel to rotate.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the driving wheel includes a gear portion 1061 and a friction wheel portion 1062 stacked together, with the gear portion 1061 and the friction wheel portion 1062 forming a whole, so that the two can rotate together.

[0060] Similarly, the driven wheel also includes a gear section 1061 and a friction wheel section 1062 stacked together, similar to the driving wheel.

[0061] The gear section 1061 of the driving wheel and each driven wheel is used to ensure that the driving wheel and each driven wheel are linked together, and the friction wheel section 1062 of the driving wheel and each driven wheel is used to contact the rotating component 201 and provide friction force for driving the rotating component 201 to rotate.

[0062] Specifically, in the first embodiment, the transmission mechanism further includes a timing belt, and the gear part 1061 can be used as a timing belt pulley. The timing belt meshes with the gear part 1061. Therefore, during the rotation of the driving wheel, it can drive each driven wheel to rotate synchronously through the timing belt. The driving wheel and each driven wheel then jointly drive the rotating component 201 to rotate through friction.

[0063] In the second embodiment, the transmission mechanism further includes a transmission gear. Each gear part 1061 and the transmission gear together form a gear set. During the rotation of the driving wheel, it can drive each driven wheel to rotate synchronously through the transmission gear. The driving wheel and each driven wheel then jointly drive the rotating component 201 to rotate through friction.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, a positioning structure is provided between the rotating component 201 and the friction wheel 1062. The positioning structure has two functions: First, the rotating component 201 and the friction wheel 1062 are matched with each other through the positioning structure to prevent the rotating component 201 from axially moving and to prevent the rotating component 201 from colliding with the first support plate 103 or the second support plate 104 during movement, thus regulating the rotation process of the rotating component 201; Second, the rotating component 201 and the friction wheel 1062 form a large contact area through the positioning structure, which facilitates the increase of the friction between the rotating component 201 and the friction wheel 1062 and prevents slippage between the rotating component 201 and the friction wheel 1062.

[0065] The rotating component 201 and the friction wheel 1062 are matched by a positioning structure in a mutually fitting manner.

[0066] Specifically, the positioning structure includes a protrusion 301 and a recess 302. In some embodiments, the protrusion 301 is disposed on the edge of the rotating component 201, and the recess 302 is disposed on the edge of the friction wheel portion 1062. The protrusion 301 and the recess 302 are approximately the same size to ensure that they match. In other embodiments, the protrusion 301 is disposed on the edge of the friction wheel portion 1062, and the recess 302 is disposed on the edge of the rotating component 201, which also ensures that they match.

[0067] In some examples, the automatic core wrapping device also includes a support component 401 for placing the core sample.

[0068] Specifically, to prevent the core sample from falling onto the support component 401, the support component 401 is roughly formed as an arc-shaped groove structure. When the core sample moves radially, the arc-shaped groove structure of the support component 401 can block the movement of the core sample.

[0069] Furthermore, to ensure that the height of the support component 401 matches the height of the hollow portion of the rotating component 201, the automatic wrapping device also includes a support platform 402. When the support component 401 is positioned on the support platform 402, the core sample carried on the support component 401 can pass through the hollow portion of the rotating component 201.

[0070] In some examples, the base 100 is provided with a film cutting component 107, which is used to cut the film material after the core sample wrapping process is completed, so as to facilitate the removal of the core sample.

[0071] In some examples, the automatic core wrapping device also includes a speed sensor to detect the wrapping speed, allowing workers to control the wrapping process in real time.

[0072] In actual implementation, the wrapping material is first applied to the head of the core sample, and the rotating component 201 wraps the wrapping material around the surface of the core sample by rotating. At the same time, the core sample can move within the hollow part of the rotating component 201, which facilitates the wrapping material to be wrapped from the head to the tail of the core sample. The rotating component 201 is formed into a closed ring shape, without the need for notches, which avoids deformation of the rotating component 201 during long-term use and ensures that the wrapping process is efficient and reliable.

[0073] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
