Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ultrasonic equipment technology, and relates to an ultrasonic device that facilitates loading and unloading. Background Technology

[0002] In the application of ultrasonic technology, ultrasound is often used to crush and disperse materials, and is widely used in cell disruption or dispersion of nanomaterials. The typical operation involves placing the material to be processed in a barrel, powering a transducer to operate it, and inserting the amplitude transformer on the transducer into the barrel to crush and disperse the material.

[0003] In existing ultrasonic equipment, the ultrasonic transducer is typically positioned at the top of the material cylinder, and the transducer is capable of sealing the cylinder opening, while the amplitude transformer is inserted inside the cylinder. The material cylinder, as a container for holding materials, generally has two material loading and unloading modes: one is continuous flow processing, where materials are pumped into or extracted from the cylinder through a pipeline system, suitable for continuous processing; the other is batch processing, requiring manual operation of the transducer to raise or lower to open or close the cylinder opening. In actual operation, the operator needs to manually lift the transducer when adding material, and lower it after adding material to cover the cylinder opening. When unloading, the transducer needs to be lifted again, and then the cylinder tilted or removed to complete the unloading.

[0004] During batch processing, the transducers are heavy, making it very difficult for workers to lift or lower them manually, resulting in excessive workload and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing an ultrasonic device that facilitates loading and unloading of materials.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: an ultrasonic device for easy loading and unloading of materials, comprising:

[0007] Material cylinder;

[0008] A lifting drive element, wherein the lifting drive element remains fixed relative to the material cylinder;

[0009] An ultrasonic device is provided, which is arranged vertically to the material cylinder. The ultrasonic device is connected to the lifting drive element, which can drive the ultrasonic device to move up and down relative to the material cylinder.

[0010] The ultrasonic device's travel position relative to the material cylinder includes a working position and an operating position; when the ultrasonic device is in the working position, the ultrasonic device is connected to the material cylinder and seals the opening of the material cylinder; when the ultrasonic device is in the operating position, the ultrasonic device is separated from the material cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the ultrasonic device includes a transducer and an amplitude transformer extending from the end of the transducer, and the lifting drive element is connected to the transducer;

[0012] When the ultrasonic device is in the working position, the end of the transducer is connected to the end of the material cylinder and the opening of the material cylinder is sealed, and the amplitude transformer is inserted into the material cylinder; when the ultrasonic device is in the operating position, the end of the transducer is separated from the end of the material cylinder, and the amplitude transformer is withdrawn from the inside of the material cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the transducer is provided with a first flange at one end, and the barrel is provided with a second flange at one end; when the ultrasonic device is in the working position, the first flange and the second flange are sealed together.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a support frame, to which the barrel is detachably mounted.

[0015] Preferably, the support frame includes two parallel support rods, with an installation area between the two support rods. The width of the installation area is not less than the diameter of the material cylinder, and the width of the installation area is less than the outer diameter of the second flange. The second flange is in contact with the end faces of the two support rods, and the material cylinder is located in the installation area.

[0016] Preferably, the second flange is slidably connected to the two support rods, and the length of the mounting area is greater than the outer diameter of the second flange.

[0017] Preferably, it also includes a soundproof box, in which the material cylinder, the lifting drive element, the ultrasonic device and the support frame are all disposed.

[0018] Preferably, the lifting drive element is fixedly connected to the soundproof box.

[0019] Preferably, it also includes a lifting drive plate, and the number of lifting drive elements is at least two. The lifting drive plate is fixedly connected to the transducer, and each of the lifting drive elements is connected to the lifting drive plate. Each of the lifting drive elements is configured to operate synchronously and can drive the ultrasonic device to rise and fall through the lifting drive plate.

[0020] Preferably, the lifting drive element is configured as a cylinder.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. The ultrasonic device can be raised and lowered under the drive of the lifting drive element, so that it is in the working position for processing or in the operation position for easy loading and unloading of materials, eliminating the need for manual lifting and placing of the ultrasonic device, reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving processing efficiency.

[0023] 2. The transducer is moved up and down by the lifting drive element, thereby controlling the insertion or withdrawal of the amplitude rod into the barrel and realizing the sealing connection or separation between the end of the transducer and the end of the barrel.

[0024] 3.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, an ultrasonic device for easy loading and unloading includes:

[0033] 100mm barrel;

[0034] The lifting drive element 200 is fixed relative to the material cylinder 100;

[0035] An ultrasonic device 300 is provided, which is arranged vertically and vertically with the material cylinder 100. The ultrasonic device 300 is connected to a lifting drive element 200, which can drive the ultrasonic device 300 to move up and down relative to the material cylinder 100.

[0036] The travel position of the ultrasonic device 300 relative to the material cylinder 100 includes a working position and an operating position; when the ultrasonic device 300 is in the working position, the ultrasonic device 300 is connected to the material cylinder 100 and seals the opening of the material cylinder 100; when the ultrasonic device 300 is in the operating position, the ultrasonic device 300 is separated from the material cylinder 100.

[0037] By setting up a height-adjustable ultrasonic device 300 and a fixed material cylinder 100 to change their relative position, automated or semi-automated material loading and unloading operations can be achieved. This equipment controls the ultrasonic device 300 to switch between a "working position" and an "operating position" through a lifting drive element 200, thereby optimizing the loading and unloading efficiency during cleaning, dispersing, or processing.

[0038] The material cylinder 100 is an open cylindrical structure used to hold the material or liquid to be processed. The lifting drive element 200 is fixed above the material cylinder 100, and the lifting drive element 200 adopts components such as cylinders, electric push rods, lead screw motors or linear motors.

[0039] The core feature of this equipment is that the height of the ultrasonic device 300 can be quickly adjusted via the lifting drive element 200, reducing manual operation and accelerating loading and unloading speeds. When the ultrasonic device 300 is in the working position, it connects to the material cylinder 100 and seals the opening of the cylinder 100, ensuring efficient transmission of ultrasonic energy to the liquid or material inside the cylinder 100 for ultrasonic crushing, dispersion, and mixing processes. When the ultrasonic device 300 is in the operating position, it separates from the material cylinder 100, exposing the opening, facilitating loading or unloading operations by operators or robotic arms without requiring manual movement of the ultrasonic components, thus improving work efficiency and safety.

[0040] The working process of the ultrasonic equipment is as follows: The lifting drive element 200 drives the ultrasonic device 300 to rise to the operating position, and the ultrasonic device 300 separates from the material cylinder 100. At this time, the opening of the material cylinder 100 is open, and the operator adds the material to be processed into the material cylinder 100. After the material is loaded, the lifting drive element 200 drives the ultrasonic device 300 to fall to the working position, so that it is sealed and connected to the material cylinder 100. Then, the ultrasonic device 300 is turned on to process the material in the material cylinder 100. After the processing is completed, the ultrasonic device 300 is turned off, and the lifting drive element 200 drives the ultrasonic device 300 to rise to the operating position, thereby opening the opening of the material cylinder 100, and the operator takes out or pours out the material.

[0041] The ultrasonic device 300 can be raised and lowered under the drive of the lifting drive element 200, so that it is in a working position for processing or an operation position that is convenient for loading and unloading materials. This eliminates the need for manual lifting and lowering of the ultrasonic device 300, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and improves processing efficiency.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, based on the above embodiments, the ultrasonic device 300 includes a transducer 310 and an amplitude transformer 320 extending from the end of the transducer 310, and the lifting drive element 200 is connected to the transducer 310.

[0043] When the ultrasonic device 300 is in the working position, the end of the transducer 310 is connected to the end of the material cylinder 100 and the opening of the material cylinder 100 is sealed, and the amplitude transformer 320 is inserted into the material cylinder 100; when the ultrasonic device 300 is in the operating position, the end of the transducer 310 is separated from the end of the material cylinder 100, and the amplitude transformer 320 is withdrawn from the material cylinder 100.

[0044] The transducer 310 converts electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibration, and the amplitude transformer 320 amplifies the vibration amplitude and transmits it to the material to complete processing tasks such as crushing and dispersing. When the ultrasonic device 300 is in the working position, the transducer 310 presses down to tightly connect its end with the end of the material cylinder 100, forming a sealed structure to prevent liquid leakage. At the same time, the amplitude transformer 320 is inserted into the material cylinder 100 for ultrasonic treatment. When the ultrasonic device 300 is in the operating position, the transducer 310 rises, its end disengaging from the opening of the material cylinder 100, and the amplitude transformer 320 completely retracts from the material cylinder 100. At this time, the opening of the material cylinder 100 is open, facilitating manual or robotic loading or unloading of materials.

[0045] In this embodiment, the transducer 310 is moved up and down by the lifting drive element 200, thereby controlling the amplitude rod 320 to insert or withdraw from the inside of the barrel 100, and realizing the sealing docking or separation of the end of the transducer 310 and the end of the barrel 100.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, the transducer 310 is provided with a first flange 311 at its end, and the barrel 100 is provided with a second flange 110 at its end; when the ultrasonic device 300 is in the working position, the first flange 311 and the second flange 110 are sealed together.

[0047] In this example, a flange is provided at the end of the transducer 310, forming a first flange portion 311, and a flange is also provided at the end of the barrel 100, forming a second flange portion 110. The first flange portion 311 and the second flange portion 110 are designed to match each other, ensuring a tight connection between the transducer 310 and the barrel 100 to prevent liquid or gas leakage, especially during ultrasonic treatment.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a support frame 400 is also included, and the material cylinder 100 is detachably installed on the support frame 400.

[0049] The support frame 400 provides a stable platform on which the material cylinder 100 can be detachably installed with simple operation. Users can quickly switch between different batches or different materials, improving production efficiency and adaptability.

[0050] Based on the above embodiments, the support frame 400 includes two parallel support rods 410, and an installation area 420 is provided between the two support rods 410. The width of the installation area 420 is not less than the diameter of the material cylinder 100, and the width of the installation area 420 is less than the outer diameter of the second flange portion 110. The second flange portion 110 abuts against the end faces of the two support rods 410, and the material cylinder 100 is located in the installation area 420.

[0051] The width of the mounting area 420 is the distance between the two support rods 410, forming a mounting area 420 for placing the cylinder 100. The width of the mounting area 420 allows the cylinder 100 to be smoothly placed into the mounting area 420, and prevents the second flange 110 at the top of the cylinder 100 from passing through the mounting area 420. Stable support is achieved by the second flange 110 abutting against the end faces of the two support rods 410. Under the action of gravity, the cylinder 100 is naturally supported on the support rods 410 and limited by the flange edge, achieving a stable installation effect without additional clamps.

[0052] Based on the above embodiment, the second flange 110 is slidably connected to the two support rods 410, and the length of the mounting area 420 is greater than the outer diameter of the second flange 110.

[0053] The two support rods 410 not only provide support for the barrel 100, but also allow the barrel 100 to slide along the support rods 410 via the second flange 110 at its top. This design allows the barrel 100 to move on the support frame 400, facilitating the adjustment of the barrel 100's position for material feeding.

[0054] During material feeding, the lifting drive element 200 drives the transducer 310 and the amplitude rod 320 to rise, thereby separating the transducer 310 from the material cylinder 100, and the amplitude rod 320 exits the material cylinder 100. Then, the material cylinder 100 is pushed, and the material cylinder 100 slides along the support rod 410, thereby offsetting it from the transducer 310, which facilitates tilting or removing the material cylinder 100 for material feeding.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, it also includes a soundproof box 500, a material cylinder 100, a lifting drive element 200, an ultrasonic device 300, and a support frame 400, all of which are disposed inside the soundproof box 500.

[0056] When the ultrasonic device 300 is working, it will generate high-frequency vibration and noise. The soundproof box 500 can effectively control the noise pollution generated during the ultrasonic operation and can also serve as a physical isolation barrier to prevent personnel from accidentally touching moving parts.

[0057] Based on the above implementation method, the lifting drive element 200 is fixedly connected to the soundproof box 500.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, based on the above embodiment, it also includes a lifting drive plate 600, and the number of lifting drive elements 200 is at least two. The lifting drive plate 600 is fixedly connected to the transducer 310, and each lifting drive element 200 is connected to the lifting drive plate 600. Each lifting drive element 200 is set to operate synchronously and can drive the ultrasonic device 300 to rise and fall through the lifting drive plate 600.

[0059] Because the transducer 310 is heavy, a single lifting drive element 200 may cause overload or prevent the transducer 310 from being lifted smoothly. Therefore, by setting at least two lifting drive elements 200 and driving the transducer 310 to rise and fall through a common lifting drive plate 600, the weight load of the transducer 310 can be effectively distributed.

[0060] Based on the above embodiments, the lifting drive element 200 is configured as a cylinder. It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0061] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," and "a" is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0062] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0063] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0064] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
