Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas cylinder tipping technology, specifically a gas cylinder water filling tipping machine. Background Technology
[0002] Filling gas cylinders with water refers to injecting an appropriate amount of water into a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tank before storage. The main purpose of this operation is to ensure the safety of the cylinder and prevent explosions due to increased gas pressure at high temperatures. Injecting an appropriate amount of water can reduce the temperature of the tank to some extent, preventing it from exploding due to overheating. Furthermore, water can react chemically with the LPG to produce hydrogen and oxygen, effectively reducing pressure and improving safety.
[0003] Currently, a tilting machine is needed during the process of filling gas cylinders with water. However, existing gas cylinder tilting machines are usually operated manually by loading and unloading the cylinders. The quality of cylinders filled with water and those not filled with water differs significantly. Manually loading and unloading the cylinders is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and poses a significant safety risk. Therefore, we propose a gas cylinder tilting machine for filling with water. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a gas cylinder water filling and turning machine, which has the advantages of saving time and effort and being easy to operate. It solves the problem that the existing gas cylinder water filling and turning machines usually involve manual loading and unloading of gas cylinders, and the quality of gas cylinders filled with water and those not filled with water is quite different. Manual loading and unloading of gas cylinders is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and poses a significant safety risk.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a gas cylinder water filling and turning machine, comprising a frame, bearing seats fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the top of the frame, a turning shaft movably connected to the inner side of the two bearing seats, a turning seat fixedly connected to the outer surface of the turning shaft, arc plates fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the bottom of the turning seat, arc toothed plates fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two arc plates, a dual-head power motor fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner side of the frame, drive gears meshing with the arc toothed plates fixedly connected to both output ends of the dual-head power motor, multiple inclined and equidistantly distributed drive rollers arranged at both the front and rear ends inside the turning seat, pulleys fixedly installed at both ends of the drive rollers, a synchronous belt sleeved on the outer side of two adjacent pulleys, and two conveyor motors symmetrically installed on the left end of the turning seat.
[0006] Preferably, the left side inside the flip seat is provided with a positioning plate with a limiting hole on its inner surface.
[0007] Preferably, an n-shaped positioning frame is fixedly installed at the right end of the top of the flipping seat. The front and rear ends of the inner cavity of the n-shaped positioning frame are movably connected to lifting threaded rods through bearings. A sprocket is fixedly installed at the top of the lifting threaded rod, and a chain is sleeved on the outer side of the sprocket.
[0008] Preferably, a movable plate is threadedly connected to the upper end of the outer surface of the lifting threaded rod, and springs are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the bottom of the movable plate, with a positioning pressure seat fixedly connected to the bottom of the springs.
[0009] Preferably, the front and rear ends of the top of the positioning base are fixedly connected with T-shaped guide rods located inside the spring and sliding on the inner surface of the moving plate, and the bottom of the positioning base is fixedly connected with an arc-shaped pressure plate, and the bottom of the arc-shaped pressure plate is bonded with an anti-slip pad.
[0010] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly installed at the front end of the top of the n-shaped positioning frame, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the top of the sprocket.
[0011] Preferably, the output end of the conveying motor is fixedly connected to one side of the drive roller.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. This utility model uses a conveyor motor to drive the drive rollers to rotate, and with the assistance of pulleys and synchronous belts, all drive rollers can rotate simultaneously, thereby automatically transferring the gas cylinder from the right end of the tilting seat to the left end of the tilting seat. At the same time, the left end of the gas cylinder enters the positioning plate's limiting hole. Then, the external controller can turn off the conveyor motor, eliminating the need for staff to manually push the gas cylinder to the tilting position.
[0014] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the drive motor, after the gas cylinder enters the tilting seat, the drive motor is turned on by the external controller. With the cooperation of the sprocket and chain, the drive motor can drive the two lifting threaded rods to rotate simultaneously, so that the moving plate can move downward on the outer surface of the lifting threaded rods. The downward moving plate can drive the positioning pressure seat and the arc-shaped pressure plate to move downward via the T-shaped guide rod. When the anti-slip rubber pad contacts the surface of the gas cylinder, it can drive the T-shaped guide rod to move upward via the arc-shaped pressure plate and the positioning pressure seat, thereby compressing the spring. This can prevent the gas cylinder from being crushed and ensure the stability of the gas cylinder during the tilting process. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example 1
[0027] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a gas cylinder water filling and turning machine, including a frame 1, bearing seats 2 are fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the top of the frame 1, a turning shaft 9 is movably connected to the inner side of the two bearing seats 2, a turning seat 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the turning shaft 9, a positioning plate 4 with a limiting hole on the inner surface is provided on the left side inside the turning seat 3, and arc plates 11 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the bottom of the turning seat 3, and arc toothed plates 12 are fixedly installed on the opposite side of the two arc plates 11. A dual-headed power motor 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the side. Both output ends of the dual-headed power motor 13 are fixedly connected to drive gears 10 that mesh with the arc-shaped toothed plate 12. Multiple inclined and equidistantly distributed drive rollers 8 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the interior of the tilting seat 3. Pulleys 23 are fixedly installed at both ends of the drive rollers 8. Synchronous belts 24 are sleeved on the outer side of two adjacent pulleys 23. Two conveyor motors 7 are symmetrically installed at the left end of the tilting seat 3. The output end of the conveyor motor 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the drive roller 8.
[0028] This technical solution: By setting up the tilting seat 3, when the operator uses a trolley to transport the gas cylinder that needs to be filled to the right side of the tilting seat 3, the external controller turns on the conveyor motor 7 to drive the drive roller 8 to rotate. With the assistance of the pulley 23 and the synchronous belt 24, all drive rollers 8 can rotate simultaneously, thereby automatically transferring the gas cylinder from the right end of the tilting seat 3 to the left end of the tilting seat 3. At the same time, the left end of the gas cylinder enters the limiting hole of the positioning plate 4. Then, the external controller turns off the conveyor motor 7. There is no need for the operator to manually push the gas cylinder to the tilting position. Next, the external controller turns on the dual-head power motor 13 to drive the drive gear 10 to rotate, and in the meshing... With the assistance of the arc-shaped toothed plate 12 connected to the joint, the arc-shaped plate 11 can drive the flipping seat 3 to flip outward around the flipping shaft 9 to a vertical state. Then, the flipping seat 3 drives the gas cylinder to flip to a vertical state, which can then be used to fill the gas cylinder with water. After the water filling is completed, the external controller turns on the dual-head power motor 13 to drive the drive gear 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, which can make the flipping seat 3 flip from the vertical state to a horizontal state again. Then, the external controller turns on the conveyor motor 7 to drive the drive roller 8 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotating drive roller 8 can then push the gas cylinder after water filling back to the trolley, which is convenient for the staff to use and saves time and effort.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figures 1-6 As shown, an n-shaped positioning frame 6 is fixedly installed on the right end of the top of the flipping seat 3. The front and rear ends of the inner cavity of the n-shaped positioning frame 6 are movably connected to the lifting threaded rod 15 through bearings. A sprocket 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting threaded rod 15. A chain 20 is sleeved on the outer side of the sprocket 14. A moving plate 16 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the outer surface of the lifting threaded rod 15. A spring 17 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the bottom of the moving plate 16. A positioning pressure seat 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring 17. A T-shaped guide rod 21 located inside the spring 17 and sliding on the inner surface of the moving plate 16 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the top of the positioning pressure seat 18. An arc-shaped pressure plate 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning pressure seat 18. An anti-slip pad 22 is adhered to the bottom of the arc-shaped pressure plate 19. A drive motor 5 is fixedly installed at the front end of the top of the n-shaped positioning frame 6, and the output end of the drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the sprocket 14.
[0031] This technical solution: With the drive motor 5 in place, after the gas cylinder enters the tilting seat 3, the external controller activates the drive motor 5. With the cooperation of the sprocket 14 and chain 20, the drive motor 5 drives the two lifting threaded rods 15 to rotate simultaneously. This causes the moving plate 16 to move downwards on the outer surface of the lifting threaded rods 15. The downward-moving moving plate 16, via the T-shaped guide rod 21, drives the positioning pressure seat 18 and the arc-shaped pressure plate 19 downwards. When the anti-slip pad 22 contacts the surface of the gas cylinder… The T-shaped guide rod 21 can be driven upward by the arc-shaped pressure plate 19 and the positioning pressure seat 18, which can compress the spring 17, thereby avoiding damage to the gas cylinder and ensuring the stability of the gas cylinder during the flipping process. When the water filling is completed and the gas cylinder needs to be removed, the external controller turns on the drive motor 5 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the moving plate 16, the positioning pressure seat 18, the arc-shaped pressure plate 19 and the anti-slip pad 22 are reset, and the gas cylinder after water filling can be quickly removed. The operation is simple and improves the stability and safety of the gas cylinder during the flipping process.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
