Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water receiving tray technology, and in particular to an automatic water receiving tray. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, many workpieces require wet treatment before processing to meet the requirements of subsequent processing techniques or to achieve specific cleaning or cooling purposes. After wet treatment, a large amount of liquid remains on the surface of the workpiece. During subsequent operations such as clamping and fixing the workpiece, this residual liquid will drip due to gravity, thus requiring the use of a drip tray.
[0003] Existing water trays are typically designed to slide, requiring numerous mechanical elements such as guide rails for forward and backward movement, heavy motors and shafts, as well as complex structures including sensors for control and wiring for electrical cabling. These components are not only expensive to produce but also require significant maintenance and occupy a large amount of space, making the equipment bulky. To address these issues, this application proposes an automatic water tray. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic water receiving tray. This water receiving tray can be easily configured with only a cylinder and connecting rod assembly with sufficient stroke, and a simple frame for fixing, thus enabling the water receiving tray to move. This device reduces maintenance difficulty and costs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic water receiving tray includes a frame on which a workpiece is mounted. A water receiving tray body is located below the workpiece. A mounting block is fixedly connected to the end of the frame furthest from the workpiece. A cylinder is rotatably connected to the mounting block. A connecting block is rotatably connected to the output end of the cylinder. A lifting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block. V-shaped connecting rods are rotatably connected to both ends of the lifting rod. Rotating shafts are fixedly connected to both ends of the frame. Two rotating shafts pass through and are rotatably connected to corresponding V-shaped connecting rods. The ends of the two V-shaped connecting rods are rotatably connected to the water receiving tray body. The water receiving tray body is rotatably connected to two connecting rods, both of which are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the frame.
[0007] Preferably, the top of the water receiving tray body is provided with a water receiving groove.
[0008] Preferably, the front and rear end lengths of the water receiving tray body are greater than the front and rear end lengths of the workpiece.
[0009] Preferably, the rotating shaft is located in the middle of the V-shaped connecting rod, and the rotating shaft is T-shaped.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the water receiving groove is fixedly connected to two fixing plates, and the two ends of the two V-shaped connecting rods are respectively rotatably connected to their corresponding fixing plates, and the two connecting rods are respectively rotatably connected to their corresponding fixing plates.
[0011] Preferably, the length between the rotating shaft and the fixed plate is equal to the length of the connecting rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. This water receiving tray can be easily configured into an automatic water receiving tray by simply equipping it with a cylinder and connecting rod assembly with sufficient stroke, and a simple frame for fixing it, so as to realize the movement of the water receiving tray.
[0014] 2. Driven by a cylinder and in conjunction with the linkage of components such as the connecting block, lifting rod, and V-shaped connecting rod, the water receiving tray can be automatically moved to the bottom of the workpiece to receive liquid. This eliminates the need for frequent manual adjustments to the water receiving position, greatly improving work efficiency and reducing manpower input.
[0015] In summary, this water receiving tray can be easily configured into an automatic water receiving tray by simply equipping it with a cylinder and connecting rod assembly with sufficient stroke, and a simple frame for fixing it. This allows the water receiving tray to move, reducing maintenance difficulty and costs. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] Reference Figures 1-2The automatic water receiving tray includes a frame 1, which serves as the basic support structure for the entire device and provides an installation platform for other components. A workpiece 2 is installed on the frame 1. The workpiece 2 is to be processed and its surface will drip liquid. A water receiving tray body 3 is located below the workpiece 2. A water receiving groove is opened on the top of the water receiving tray body 3 to receive the liquid dripping from the workpiece 2. The front and rear end lengths of the water receiving tray body 3 are greater than the front and rear end lengths of the workpiece 2 to ensure that it can completely cover the liquid dripping area of the workpiece 2.
[0021] A mounting block 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the frame 1 away from the workpiece 2. A cylinder 5 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 4. The cylinder 5, as a driving component, provides power to subsequent components through telescopic movement. A connecting block 6 is rotatably connected to the output end of the cylinder 5. A lifting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 6. V-shaped connecting rods 8 are rotatably connected to both ends of the lifting rod 7. Rotating shafts 9 are fixedly connected to both ends of the frame 1. The two rotating shafts 9 pass through the corresponding V-shaped connecting rods 8 and are rotatably connected to them. The rotating shafts 9 provide a rotation fulcrum for the V-shaped connecting rods 8. The rotating shafts 9 are located in the middle of the V-shaped connecting rods 8 and are T-shaped. The ends of the two V-shaped connecting rods 8 are rotatably connected to the water receiving tray body 3. The V-shaped connecting rods 8 rotate around the rotating shafts 9 under the drive of the lifting rod 7, thereby causing the water receiving tray body 3 to swing. The water receiving tray body 3 is rotatably connected to two connecting rods 11. Both connecting rods 11 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the frame 1. The connecting rods 11 and the V-shaped connecting rods 8 work together to ensure the stability of the water receiving tray body 3 during the swing process.
[0022] Two fixing plates 10 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water receiving groove. The fixing plates 10 are used to connect the V-shaped connecting rods 8 and 11 to the water receiving tray body 3. The two ends of the two V-shaped connecting rods 8 are rotatably connected to their corresponding fixing plates 10, and the two connecting rods 11 are rotatably connected to their corresponding fixing plates 10. The length between the rotating shaft 9 and the fixing plate 10 is equal to the length of the connecting rod 11.
[0023] In this invention, the workpiece 2 can be clamped and fixed by the clamps set on the frame 1. Before clamping and fixing, the workpiece 2 is wet-treated, so there is liquid on its surface. During the clamping process, the liquid on the surface of the workpiece 2 will accumulate and drip under gravity. At this time, the cylinder 5 is activated, and the output end of the cylinder 5 drives the connecting block 6 and the lifting rod 7 to move down. During this process, the downward movement of the lifting rod 7 will drive the V-shaped connecting rod 8 to rotate around the rotating shaft 9 as the rotation center. This will cause the fixing plate 10 at the end of the V-shaped connecting rod 8 and the water receiving tray body 3 to swing around the rotating shaft 9 as the rotation center, so that the water receiving tray body 3 moves to directly below the workpiece 2 to collect the dripping liquid and prevent the liquid from dripping to other places and polluting the environment. Moreover, this device only needs to be equipped with a cylinder and connecting rod assembly with sufficient stroke, as well as a simple frame for fixing, so an automatic water receiving tray can be easily constructed.
