Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of liquefied petroleum gas cylinder recycling technology, and in particular relates to a one-way positioning intelligent conveying line for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, it is necessary to conduct airtightness testing. In this process, the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders need to be placed one by one on the conveyor line and transported to the airtightness testing instrument.

[0003] Existing conveyor lines require manual lubrication of chains and other components on the line during the transport of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders. Frequent manual lubrication increases labor costs, and unsatisfactory lubrication may lead to premature equipment damage, requiring frequent shutdowns for maintenance and affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the problems in existing technologies where manual lubrication of conveyor chain components is required periodically. Manual operation makes precise control of oil levels difficult, and excessive lubrication can lead to grease dripping and contaminating gas cylinders or the ground. This necessitates frequent shutdowns for maintenance, impacting production efficiency. The following technical solution is proposed:

[0005] A unidirectional positioning intelligent conveying line for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders includes:

[0006] Base and conveyor line, the conveyor line is used to transport liquefied petroleum gas cylinders;

[0007] The lubrication assembly includes an oil reservoir, a piston rod, a filler pipe, an outlet pipe, and an injector. The oil reservoir is connected to the base, the piston rod is connected to the oil reservoir, the filler pipe is connected to the oil reservoir, the outlet pipe is connected to the oil reservoir, and the injector is connected to the outlet pipe. The lubrication assembly can supply lubricating oil to the transport line.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a control valve is connected to the refueling pipe.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the fuel injectors are symmetrically arranged in two sets, and each set of fuel injectors is provided with a diaphragm flap.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, it further includes an orientation component, which comprises:

[0012] Mounting base and guide rod, the guide rod being used to correct the position of the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder;

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the directional component further includes a torsion spring, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the interior of the guide rod, and the guide rod is provided with a stop block, the outer side of the stop rod being in contact with the stop block.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] (1) The present invention, through the lubrication component, can deliver lubricating oil directly to the transmission gear and chain through the oil nozzle without interrupting the operation of the production line. As the gear rotates, the lubricating oil is evenly applied to the chain, which effectively extends the service life of the transmission device and ensures the efficient and stable operation of the production process.

[0017] (2) By setting the directional component, the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders on the transport line can only move in one direction along the transport direction of the transport line.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This utility model provides a one-way positioning intelligent conveyor line for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, such as... Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the unidirectional positioning intelligent conveyor line for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders includes a base 1, a conveyor line 2, and a lubrication assembly. The conveyor line 2 is used to move the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders and is specifically composed of a combination of transmission gears and chains. The lubrication assembly includes an oil reservoir 3, a piston rod 4, a refueling pipe 5, an oil outlet pipe 7, and an oil nozzle 8. The oil reservoir 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the side plate on the base 1. The piston rod 4 is slidably installed inside the oil reservoir 3. The refueling pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the oil reservoir 3. The oil outlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the oil reservoir 3, and the bottom of the oil outlet pipe 7 is fixedly installed on the base 1 through a fixing seat. The oil nozzles 8 are fixedly connected to both ends of the oil outlet pipe 7 and are symmetrically distributed. Each of the two oil nozzles 8 has a diaphragm 9 embedded inside. The lubrication assembly can spray the lubricating oil inside the oil reservoir 3 onto the conveyor line 2, and play a role in lubricating and protecting the working conveyor line 2.

[0029] By pressing the piston rod 4, the lubricating oil inside the oil reservoir 3 is squeezed out from the oil nozzle 8 along the oil outlet pipe 7, and the squeezed lubricating oil falls onto the conveyor line 2, which lubricates and protects the transmission gears and chains on the conveyor line 2.

[0030] In use, the operator fills the oil reservoir 3 with lubricating oil through the refueling pipe 5, and then presses the piston rod 4 to squeeze the lubricating oil inside the oil reservoir 3 and squeeze it out from the oil nozzle 8, thereby delivering the lubricating oil to the transmission gear on the conveyor line 2. As the transmission gear continues to rotate, the lubricating oil can be evenly coated on the chain on the conveyor line 2, thereby achieving effective lubrication of the chain, reducing wear, and improving the operating efficiency and service life of the conveyor line 2.

[0031] Specifically, a control valve 6 is also installed on the refueling pipe 5. The control valve 6 can be set as an electric valve or a manually controlled valve according to actual production requirements; the operation of the conveyor line 2 is realized by a drive motor, which is installed on one of the bases 1 (e.g., Figure 1As shown in the figure, the transmission gears and chains on the transport line 2 are driven to rotate by energizing the drive motor, thereby realizing the transport of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders.

[0032] To effectively reduce lubricant waste, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a ramp 10 is provided below the transport line 2, and a receiving box 11 is provided at the end of the ramp 10. The ramp 10 is fixedly connected to a base 1 on one side. A sliding groove 1101 is provided inside the base 1, so that the receiving box 11 can slide stably inside the base 1. When the receiving box 11 slides into the base 1, the side of the receiving box 11 near the ramp 10 is magnetically attracted to the inner wall of the base 1 (e.g., Figure 4 (as shown), so that the receiving box 11 can be stably placed at the bottom of the inclined plate 10.

[0033] When lubricating oil falls from the conveyor line 2 due to excessive extrusion through the inclined plate 10, it can naturally slide onto the inclined plate 10. The inclined plate 10 is designed with an inclined surface, which can guide the excess lubricating oil to fall smoothly along the inclined surface and finally collect in the receiving box 11 at the bottom. This achieves effective collection and management of excess lubricating oil and avoids lubricating oil waste and environmental pollution.

[0034] In order to enable the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders transported on transport line 2 to move in one direction, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the unidirectional positioning intelligent conveying line for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders also includes a directional component. The directional component includes a mounting base 12, a guide rod 13, a stop rod 14, a torsion spring 15, and a stop block 16. The mounting base 12 is fixedly installed on the base 1 and symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the conveying line 2. The number of guide rods 13 corresponds one-to-one with the number of mounting bases 12 and is fixedly installed on their tops. The two guide rods 13 are arranged in a V-shape, which can effectively adjust the position of the tilted liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, making the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders more neatly arranged on the conveying line 2 for subsequent transportation and processing. A rotating shaft 141 is also fixedly connected inside the guide rod 13. The stop rod 14 is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 141. The two ends of the torsion spring 15 are respectively inserted and fixed inside the guide rod 13, and one side of the stop rod 14 is attached to the outer surface of the torsion spring 15. A stop block 16 is also installed inside the guide rod 13. The top and bottom ends of the torsion spring 15 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide rod 13.

[0035] With the help of the directional components, when the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders on the transport line 2 are transported from the base 1 at one end equipped with the drive motor to the other end of the base 1, the tilted liquefied petroleum gas cylinders can be straightened by the action of the two sets of guide rods 13, so that they can be neatly arranged on the transport line 2. When the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders come into contact with the baffle 14 and continue to move, they can push the baffle 14 to rotate and cause the torsion spring 15 to deform. When the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders are completely separated from the baffle 14, the baffle 14 can be driven to rotate in the opposite direction to the original position under the action of the deformed torsion spring 15, so that the two baffles 14 are distributed in a direction perpendicular to the transport line 2, thereby realizing the unidirectional transport of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders on the transport line 2.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that the friction between the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder and the transport line 2 is greater than the maximum reaction force of the torsion spring 15 and the stop lever 14 on the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder, thereby preventing the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder from being unable to push the stop lever 14 to deflect and ensuring that the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder passes smoothly through the position of the stop lever 14.

[0037] Working principle: In actual use, the staff places the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders that need to be tested for air tightness one by one on the transport line 2. The transport line 2 transports the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders to the side of the air tightness testing instrument. During the transport, the guide rod 13 corrects the tilted cylinders and makes them neatly arranged on the transport line 2. Then the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders come into contact with the baffle 14 and continue to move under the transport of the transport line 2, thereby pushing the baffle 14 to rotate and deforming the torsion spring 15. When the cylinder is completely separated from the baffle 14, the elastic potential energy generated by the torsion spring 15 drives the baffle 14 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the two baffles 14 are distributed in a direction perpendicular to the transport line 2. With the help of the stop block 16, the baffle 14 can be prevented from rotating in the opposite direction, thus ensuring that the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders on the transport line 2 can only be transported in a single direction.

[0038] The lubrication components allow the lubricating oil in the oil reservoir 3 to be squeezed out along the nozzle 8 onto the transmission gear on the conveyor line 2. As the drive motor continues to work, the transmission gear rotates continuously and the lubricating oil is evenly applied to the chain, thereby achieving a lubrication effect on the chain and transmission gear, reducing the wear generated when the conveyor line 2 transports liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, and improving the conveying efficiency and service life of the conveyor line 2.

[0039] Meanwhile, the inclined plate 10 and receiving box 11 installed below the conveyor line 2 allow excess lubricating oil to fall onto the inclined plate 10. Guided by the inclined surface of the inclined plate 10, the excess lubricating oil is then slid away.

[0040] It falls into the receiving box 11, achieving effective collection of lubricating oil and reducing waste.

[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
