Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feeding devices, and in particular to an automated feeding cylinder clamp. Background Technology

[0002] In the traditional Chinese medicine extraction workshop, the feeding cylinder is the core container for material transfer. In order to save manpower and resources, a feeding frame that can clamp the feeding cylinder and automatically complete the feeding action is required. The frame needs to frequently drive the empty clamp across the workstations of each extraction tank. At this time, the outward protruding clamps and support plates are very likely to collide with forklifts, feeding cylinders, or even passing workers in the aisle, which brings serious safety hazards. At best, it will cause equipment damage, and at worst, it may cause serious safety accidents. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an automated feeding cylinder clamp, including a mounting frame, gripper parts, a support plate, a transmission cylinder and a control cylinder. The mounting frame is provided with a flange, a first turning part, a second turning part and a back plate. The mounting frame is externally connected to the frame through the flange. Gripper parts are rotatably connected to the first turning part on the left and right sides of the mounting frame. A support plate is rotatably connected to the second turning part at the bottom of the mounting frame. A transmission cylinder for controlling the rotation and clamping or loosening of the two gripper parts and a control cylinder for controlling the rotation and tightening or flattening of the support plate are rotatably connected to the back plate.

[0004] Using the above technical solution, the gripper and support plate combine to form a clamping space for clamping the feeding cylinder. When feeding is required, the operator controls the forklift to place the feeding cylinder into the clamping space, and the transmission air hole controls the two grippers to rotate inward to clamp the feeding cylinder. The frame controls the overall rotation of the fixture through the flange, so that the material in the feeding cylinder is poured into the extraction tank behind the fixture. Before the frame moves the fixture, the transmission cylinder controls the grippers to rotate and open to both sides of the mounting frame, and the control cylinder controls the support plate to rotate upward and tighten, thereby reducing the overall depth and width of the fixture, effectively avoiding interference between the grippers and support plate and the aisle, and preventing accidents caused by the grippers or support plate colliding with the forklift or operators during the movement of the frame, thus improving the safety of the equipment.

[0005] The present invention is further configured such that the gripper is provided with a rotating sleeve coaxially distributed with the steering part, the gripper is rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting frame through the rotating sleeve, and the support plate is provided with a rotating bracket coaxially distributed with the second steering part, the support plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting frame through the rotating bracket.

[0006] Furthermore, the gripper includes an arc plate, a top plate, an inner plate, a bottom plate, and an outer plate welded around the arc plate, and a reinforcing plate distributed along the outer side of the arc plate. The rotating sleeve is welded between the top plate and the reinforcing plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner side plate is provided with two sets of transmission plates, and the output end of the transmission cylinder is rotatably connected to the transmission plate.

[0008] Using the above technical solution, the gripper is welded from multiple sets of plates. During installation, the rotating sleeve of the gripper is placed directly above the first turning part of the mounting frame, and then the rotating sleeve and the first turning part are simultaneously engaged by a pin, so that the gripper can rotate freely about the first turning part as the axis. Then the output shaft of the transmission cylinder is connected to the transmission plate by a pin to meet the control requirements of the transmission cylinder.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that an arc-shaped pad is provided at one end of the claw member located on the arc plate, and an arc-shaped pad is provided at the center of the mounting frame, which is coaxially distributed with the arc-shaped pad.

[0010] Using the above technical solution, when the transmission cylinder controls the two sets of gripper parts to clamp, multiple sets of arc-shaped pads combine to form a virtual cylinder with the same outer contour as the feeding cylinder. Arc-shaped pads one and two provide clamping protection for the side wall of the feeding cylinder, avoiding wear on the side wall of the feeding cylinder.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the support plate includes two sets of parallel extended plates and a transition plate connected between the extended plates. The extended plates are provided with a rotating bracket one and a rotating bracket two. The extended plates are divided into a support arm and a power arm by the rotating bracket one. The rotating bracket two is located at the power arm. The output end of the control cylinder is rotatably connected to the extended plate by the rotating bracket two.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, the support plate forms a lever structure through the rotating bracket one, and the output shaft of the control cylinder is connected to the rotating bracket two through a pin. When the control cylinder pushes the power arm, the support arm rotates upward and tightens around the rotating bracket one as the axis. Conversely, when the control cylinder retracts and pulls the power arm, the support arm rotates downward and lays flat around the rotating bracket one as the axis, thus meeting the control requirements of the control cylinder.

[0013] The present invention is further provided with a buffer pad for abutting against the feeding cylinder at the support arm, and a limiting plate for preventing the feeding cylinder from tipping over.

[0014] Using the above technical solution, the buffer pad is distributed in a rectangular shape through the support arms to support the bottom of the feeding cylinder, avoiding rigid contact between the support arms and the bottom of the feeding cylinder, preventing damage to the bottom of the feeding cylinder, and preventing material leakage.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom of the mounting bracket is provided with a foot, the foot is provided with a screw threaded to the mounting bracket, and a nut for locking the foot, and the power arm abuts against the foot.

[0016] Using the above technical solution, when the support plate is laid flat, the power arm abuts against the base. The extension height of the base relative to the mounting frame can be adjusted by rotating the screw, thereby precisely controlling the levelness of the support plate when it is laid flat, compensating for the processing and assembly errors of the mounting frame and support plate, and ensuring that the feeding cylinder remains vertical during the clamping process.

[0027] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model provides an automated feeding cylinder clamp, including a mounting frame 1, gripper 2, support plate 3, transmission cylinder 4, and control cylinder 5. The mounting frame 1 is provided with a flange 11, a first turning part 12, a second turning part 13, and a back plate 14. The mounting frame 1 is externally connected to the frame through the flange 11. The left and right sides of the mounting frame 1 are provided with gripper 2 rotatably connected to the first turning part 12. The bottom of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a support plate 3 rotatably connected to the second turning part 13. The back plate 14 is rotatably connected with a transmission cylinder 4 for controlling the rotation and clamping or loosening of the two gripper 2, and a control cylinder 5 for controlling the rotation and tightening or flattening of the support plate 3.

[0028] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the gripper 2 is provided with a rotating sleeve 21 coaxially distributed with the first steering part 12. The gripper 2 is rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting frame 1 through the rotating sleeve 21. The support plate 3 is provided with a rotating bracket 31 coaxially distributed with the second steering part 13. The support plate 3 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 1 through the rotating bracket 31. The gripper 2 includes an arc plate 22, and a top plate 23, an inner side plate 24, a bottom plate 25, and an outer side plate 26 welded around the arc plate 22, as well as reinforcing plates 27 distributed in a lattice pattern on the outer side of the arc plate 22. The rotating sleeve... The cylinder 21 is welded between the top plate 23 and the reinforcing plate 27. The inner side plate 24 is provided with two sets of transmission plates 28. The output end of the transmission cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the transmission plate 28. The gripper 2 is welded from multiple sets of plates. During installation, the rotating sleeve 21 of the gripper 2 is placed directly above the turning part 12 of the mounting frame 1. Then, the rotating sleeve 21 and the turning part 12 are simultaneously inserted by a pin, so that the gripper 2 can rotate freely about the turning part 12 as the axis. The output shaft of the transmission cylinder 4 is then connected to the transmission plate 28 by a pin to meet the control requirements of the transmission cylinder 4.

[0029] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the gripper 2 is provided with an arc-shaped pad 29 at one end of the arc plate 22, and an arc-shaped pad 15 is provided at the center of the mounting frame 1, which is coaxially distributed with the arc-shaped pad 29. When the transmission cylinder 4 controls the two sets of grippers 2 to clamp, multiple sets of arc-shaped pads 29 combine to form a virtual cylinder 6 with the same outer contour as the feeding cylinder. The arc-shaped pads 29 and 15 provide clamping protection for the side wall of the feeding cylinder to avoid wear on the side wall of the feeding cylinder.

[0030] Combination Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the support plate 3 includes two sets of parallel extension plates 32 and a transition plate 33 connecting the extension plates 32. The extension plate 32 is provided with a first rotating bracket 31 and a second rotating bracket 34. The extension plate 32 is divided into a support arm 35 and a power arm 36 through the first rotating bracket 31. The second rotating bracket 34 is located at the power arm 36. The output end of the control cylinder 5 is rotatably connected to the extension plate 32 through the second rotating bracket 34. The support plate 3 forms a lever structure through the first rotating bracket 31. The output shaft of the control cylinder 5 is connected to the second rotating bracket 34 through a pin. When the control cylinder 5 pushes the power arm 36, the support arm 35 rotates upward and tightens around the first rotating bracket 31. Conversely, when the control cylinder 5 retracts and pulls the power arm 36, the support arm 35 rotates downward and lays flat around the first rotating bracket 31, thus meeting the control requirements of the control cylinder 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, the support arm 35 is provided with a buffer pad 37 for abutting against the feeding cylinder and a limiting plate 38 for preventing the feeding cylinder from tipping over. The buffer pad 37 is rectangularly distributed through the support arm 35 to support the bottom of the feeding cylinder, avoid rigid contact between the support arm 35 and the bottom of the feeding cylinder, avoid damage to the bottom of the feeding cylinder, and prevent material leakage.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a foot 16, the foot 16 is provided with a screw 17 threaded to the mounting frame 1, and a nut 18 for locking the foot 16. The power arm 36 abuts against the foot 16. When the support plate 3 is laid flat, the power arm 36 abuts against the foot 16. By rotating the screw 17, the extension height of the foot 16 relative to the mounting frame 1 can be adjusted, thereby accurately controlling the levelness of the support plate 3 when it is laid flat, compensating for the processing error and assembly error of the mounting frame 1 and the support plate 3, and ensuring that the feeding cylinder remains vertical during the clamping process.

[0033] Combination Figure 6 As shown, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: the gripper 2 and the support plate 3 combine to form a clamping space for clamping the feeding cylinder. When feeding is required, the operator controls the forklift to place the feeding cylinder into the clamping space, and the transmission cylinder 4 controls the two grippers 2 to rotate inward to clamp the feeding cylinder. The frame 7 controls the overall rotation of the clamp through the flange 11, so that the material in the feeding cylinder is poured into the extraction tank behind the clamp. When the frame 7 moves the clamp, the output rod of the transmission cylinder 4 retracts and controls the grippers 2 to rotate and open to both sides of the mounting frame 1. The output rod of the control cylinder 5 extends and controls the support plate 3 to rotate upward and tighten, thereby reducing the overall depth and width of the clamp, effectively avoiding interference between the grippers 2 and the support plate 3 and the passageway, and preventing accidents caused by the grippers 2 or the support plate 3 colliding with the forklift or the operator during the movement of the frame.

[0034] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
