Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of activated carbon fiber composite material production technology, specifically to a high-performance activated carbon fiber composite material production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon fiber is a new type of high-strength, high-modulus fiber material with a carbon content of over 90%. It is lightweight, high-strength, high-modulus, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and has good electrical conductivity, making it widely used in aerospace, automotive, sporting goods, and construction industries. Copper foil is a very thin copper material, typically ranging from a few micrometers to tens of micrometers thick. It has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and is widely used in the electronics industry.

[0003] According to CN119910989A, a carbon fiber copper foil composite material plate and its hot pressing manufacturing equipment are disclosed. This technology discloses "a carbon fiber copper foil composite material plate and its hot pressing manufacturing equipment, including a plate body, the plate body including a substrate layer, the surface of the substrate layer being provided with a copper foil layer, preferably, the hot pressing manufacturing equipment of the carbon fiber copper foil composite material plate also includes a hot press tank, the surface of the hot press tank being fixedly installed with a blower system" and other technical solutions. It has the technical effect of "driving the first rotating rod to rotate by a motor, which can realize the rotation of the gear, thereby enabling the rack plate to move. The movement of the rack plate enables the first movable rod to push and pull the can lid, thereby enabling the can lid to move, thus facilitating the opening and closing of the can lid. This makes the opening and closing operation of the can lid more convenient during hot pressing manufacturing, and at the same time avoids the high temperature heat gushing out when the can lid is opened, which may cause injury to personnel, thus improving the safety of manufacturing".

[0004] In existing technologies, manual material handling from high-temperature autoclaves presents significant safety and efficiency problems: on the one hand, operators must directly contact high-temperature components to handle the material handling, facing not only direct safety risks such as burns, but also prolonged operation in a high-temperature environment; on the other hand, due to the internal space structure and high-temperature environment of the autoclave, traditional equipment cannot achieve automated material handling, resulting in the entire material handling process relying entirely on manual operation, which increases the labor intensity of workers and severely restricts production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-performance activated carbon fiber composite material production equipment that achieves semi-automated and safe material handling, avoiding the risks of manual operation at high temperatures; its retractable structure saves space; and its adjustable length mechanism adapts to tanks of different sizes, significantly improving the equipment's versatility, safety, and ease of operation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-performance activated carbon fiber composite material production equipment, comprising an autoclave, wherein a material handling mechanism is provided on the autoclave for removing the composite material from inside the autoclave, the material handling mechanism comprising:

[0007] Support components, including a base fixed to the bottom of the autoclave;

[0008] The drive assembly includes hydraulic cylinders mounted at both ends of the base, with shaft seats fixed at the output ends of the hydraulic cylinders;

[0010] Preferably, the actuating component further includes a threaded bushing rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the end of the cylinder rod, and the inner wall of the threaded bushing is threadedly installed with the outer wall of the threaded rod. A limit groove is formed on the outer wall of the threaded rod, and a limit block is fixed on the cylinder rod, with the inner end of the limit block located in the limit groove.

[0011] Preferably, the drive assembly further includes a limiting plate fixed to the outer wall of the upper end of the bearing seat and used to limit the lower shaft head.

[0012] Preferably, the hook component includes a shaft that is rotatably and slidably mounted on a shaft cylinder, a hook head fixed on the shaft, a safety head rotatably mounted on the hook head, and a torsion spring installed between the hook head and the safety head.

[0013] Preferably, the support assembly further includes storage compartments formed inside both ends of the base, and hydraulic cylinders are installed inside the storage compartments.

[0014] Preferably, guide rails are fixed at both ends of the inner wall of the autoclave, and a sliding plate is slidably installed between the upper ends of the guide rails at both ends. Pull rings are rotatably installed on both sides of the front end of the sliding plate. Beneficial effects

[0015] This invention provides a high-performance activated carbon fiber composite material production equipment. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. When the composite material placed on the slide plate inside the autoclave is removed after hot pressing, the door of the autoclave is opened, and the actuator is driven by the output end of the hydraulic cylinder to extend out of the storage compartment. The actuator is rotated upward to a vertical position, and then the shaft is rotated downward to drive the hook component to hook the pull ring on the slide plate. The actuator is then driven by the output end of the hydraulic cylinder to pull the slide plate outward, avoiding the safety risks of manual operation of high-temperature components. Furthermore, when the autoclave is working normally and not picking up materials, the entire picking mechanism can be stored in the storage compartment.

[0017] 2. The limiting block and limiting groove prevent the threaded rod from rotating and allow it to move axially only; when the threaded bushing is rotated, the threaded rod can be moved along the cylinder rod, thereby adjusting the overall length of the actuator and making it compatible with autoclaves of different sizes.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-performance activated carbon fiber composite material production equipment, including an autoclave 1, and a material handling mechanism 2 is provided on the autoclave 1 for removing the composite material inside the autoclave 1. The material handling mechanism 2 includes:

[0027] Support assembly 21 includes a base 211 fixed to the bottom of the autoclave 1;

[0028] The drive assembly 22 includes hydraulic cylinders 221 mounted at both ends of the base 211, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinders 221 is fixed with a bearing seat 222;

[0029] The actuating component 23 includes a lower shaft head 231 pivotally connected to a shaft seat 222, a cylinder rod 232 fixed on the lower shaft head 231, a threaded rod 233 slidably installed inside the cylinder rod 232, an upper shaft head 234 fixed to the outer end of the threaded rod 233, a shaft cylinder 235 pivotally connected to the upper shaft head 234, and a hook component 236 provided on the shaft cylinder 235.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the composite material placed on the slide plate 4 inside the autoclave 1 is removed after hot pressing, the door of the autoclave 1 is opened, and the actuator 23 is driven to extend from the storage compartment 212 through the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 221. The actuator 23 is rotated upward to a vertical position, and then the shaft cylinder 235 is rotated downward to drive the hook component 236 to hook the pull ring 5 on the slide plate 4. The actuator 23 is then driven through the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 221, so that the actuator 23 can pull the slide plate 4 outward, thus avoiding the safety risks of manual operation of high-temperature components.

[0031] Specifically, the execution component 23 also includes a threaded bushing 237 rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the end of the cylinder rod 232, and the inner wall of the threaded bushing 237 is threadedly installed with the outer wall of the threaded rod 233. A limit groove 238 is formed on the outer wall of the threaded rod 233, and a limit block 239 is fixed on the cylinder rod 232, with the inner end of the limit block 239 located in the limit groove 238.

[0032] In this embodiment, the threaded rod 233 cannot rotate and can only move axially by the limiting block 239 and the limiting groove 238; when the threaded bushing 237 is rotated, the threaded rod 233 can be driven to move along the cylinder 232, thereby adjusting the overall length of the actuator 23 and making it compatible with autoclaves 1 of different sizes.

[0033] Specifically, the drive assembly 22 also includes a limiting plate 223 fixed to the upper outer wall of the bearing seat 222 and used to limit the lower shaft head 231.

[0034] In this embodiment, the lower shaft head 231 is limited by the limiting plate 223, so that it can only rotate upward by 90 degrees, ensuring that the execution component 23 is quickly positioned to the vertical working state, and avoiding excessive rotation that could cause the mechanism to collide or the hook component 236 to shift position.

[0035] Specifically, the hook component 236 includes a shaft 2361 that is rotatably and slidably mounted on a shaft cylinder 235, a hook head 2362 fixed on the shaft 2361, a safety head 2363 rotatably mounted on the hook head 2362, and a torsion spring 2364 installed between the hook head 2362 and the safety head 2363.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the hook 2362 catches the pull ring 5, the pressure of the torsion spring 2364 pushing the safety head 2363 can prevent the slide plate 4 from accidentally coming off the hook during the movement.

[0037] Specifically, the support component 21 also includes storage compartments 212 located inside both ends of the base 211, and hydraulic cylinders 221 are installed inside the storage compartments 212.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the autoclave 1 is working normally and not picking up materials, the material picking mechanism 2 can be stored in the storage bin 212.

[0039] Specifically, guide rails 3 are fixed at both ends of the inner wall of the autoclave 1, and a sliding plate 4 is slidably installed between the upper ends of the guide rails 3. Pull rings 5 ​​are rotatably installed on both sides of the front end of the sliding plate 4.

[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, when the composite material placed on the slide plate 4 inside the autoclave 1 is removed after the autoclave is finished, the door of the autoclave 1 is opened, and the actuator 23 is driven to extend from the storage compartment 212 through the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 221. The actuator 23 is rotated upward to a vertical state, and then the shaft cylinder 235 is rotated downward to drive the hook component 236 to hook the pull ring 5 on the slide plate 4. After the hook head 2362 hooks the pull ring 5, the pressure of the return of the torsion spring 2364 can push the safety head 2363 to prevent accidental disengagement during the movement of the slide plate 4.

[0041] Then, the actuator 23 is driven by the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 221, so that the actuator 23 can pull the slide plate 4 outward, thus avoiding the safety risks of manually operating the high-temperature component;

[0042] Finally, when the autoclave 1 is working normally and not picking up materials, the material picking mechanism 2 can be stored in the storage compartment 212.
