Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cylinder flipping technology, specifically a cylinder flipping device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in industries such as chemicals, food, and pharmaceuticals, a large amount of raw materials are stored and transported in drums. To prevent residual impurities or contaminants inside the drums from affecting the quality of newly loaded raw materials, the drums generally need to be cleaned. A common method is to place the drum opening downwards and use a corresponding air blowing device to blow air into the drum. However, in practice, on automated production lines, most drums are initially placed with the opening upwards (because the drum cover usually needs to be opened by a capping device for subsequent operations). Currently, this usually requires manual intervention, which is cumbersome and labor-intensive. Although some production lines have tilting mechanisms for drum tilting, most are only suitable for drums of the same size, and their application range and flexibility need to be improved. Therefore, we propose a drum tilting device. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cylinder flipping device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A cylinder tilting device includes a lifting device and a sliding seat mounted on the lifting device and driven to move up and down by the lifting device. The sliding seat has side arms on both sides and a telescopic device for driving the two sets of side arms to move closer to or further away from each other. Each set of side arms has a clamping part for contacting the outer wall of the cylinder. The clamping part is connected to the rotating shaft of the side arm. One side arm has a driving part for driving the corresponding clamping part to rotate.
[0006] A further improvement is that the clamping part includes a mounting base, an arc-shaped opening on the side of the mounting base away from the side arm, and two sets of contact rollers that are vertically rotatably disposed in the mounting base and respectively located on both sides of the arc-shaped opening.
[0007] A further improvement is that the driving unit includes a rack slidably disposed on one side of the side arm, a gear meshing with the rack, and a telescopic device two disposed on the side arm for driving the rack to move. The gear is sleeved on one end of the shaft of the corresponding clamping part and is driven by the moving rack to rotate the clamping part.
[0008] A further improvement is that the end of the side arm facing the sliding seat is slidably connected to the slide rail located on the outer wall of the sliding seat via a slider.
[0009] A further improvement is that a counterweight is provided at one end of the shaft of a clamping part away from the drive part, and the counterweight is used to limit the angle of the clamping part.
[0010] A further improvement is that a protective shell is fitted over the outside of the rack and gear, and the protective shell is connected to the side arm.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This utility model can drive the sliding seat to raise and lower the side arm to the required position through the lifting device. The telescopic device can drive the two arms to move closer or further apart. Then, the clamping part can clamp cylinders of different specifications, which has a high range of use and flexibility. The drive part drives the clamping part to rotate the cylinder, which can quickly adjust the orientation of the cylinder opening, so that it can accurately cooperate with the corresponding air blowing equipment for cleaning work, reducing the intensity of manual labor and improving work efficiency.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see the appendix Figure 1-4A cylinder tilting device includes a lifting device 1. The lifting device 1 includes, for example, a roller frame, two rollers respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the roller frame, a belt sleeved on the outer wall of the two rollers, and a motor that drives one roller to rotate. Of course, the lifting device 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned type.
[0020] It also includes a sliding seat 2 mounted on the lifting device 1 and driven to rise and fall by the lifting device 1. The sliding seat 2 is specifically mounted on the belt in the lifting device 1. Side arms 3 are symmetrically slidably mounted on both sides of the sliding seat 2. The side arms 3 are perpendicular to the sliding seat 2. The sliding seat 2 is provided with a telescopic device 4 (e.g., two sets of hydraulic telescopic rods or electric telescopic rods) for driving the two sets of side arms 3 to move closer or further apart. The two sets of side arms 3 are symmetrically provided with clamping parts 5 for contacting the outer wall of the cylinder at opposite ends. The two sets of clamping parts 5 are respectively connected to the rotating shafts of the two sets of side arms 3. That is, the clamping parts 5 are connected to the rotating shafts of the side arms 3 through the shaft. The connection between the shaft and the side arm 3 is provided with a bearing. One side arm 3 is provided with a driving part 6 for driving the corresponding clamping part 5 to rotate.
[0021] The aforementioned cylinder is, for example, a cylinder for chemical raw materials. After the sliding seat 2 is raised and lowered to a preset height by the lifting device 1, the two sets of side arms 3 are moved by the telescopic device 4, and then the cylinder is clamped by the two sets of clamping parts 5. Then, the sliding seat 2 is raised and lowered to a preset height by the lifting device 1, and then the clamping part 5 is rotated to a preset angle by the driving part 6, so that the cylinder can be flipped over, so that the cylinder opening end is facing down and air is blown into the cylinder by an external air blowing device for cleaning.
[0022] Furthermore, the clamping part 5 includes a mounting base 51, an arc-shaped opening 52 on the side of the mounting base 51 away from the side arm 3, and two sets of contact rollers 53 that are vertically rotatable within the mounting base 51 via shafts and located on both sides of the arc-shaped opening 52. The arc-shaped opening 52 allows the mounting base 51 to better contact the outer circumference of the cylinder, and the contact rollers 53 also contact the outer circumference of the cylinder, improving clamping stability and preventing damage to the cylinder. The axis of the contact rollers 53 is parallel to the vertical axis of the cylinder, and their roller surfaces can preferably be covered with an elastic material with a high coefficient of friction. When the clamping part 5 acts on the cylinder, the contact rollers 53 can generate a rotational motion when in contact with the cylinder wall. This effectively reduces the risk of scratching the cylinder surface by the traditional clamping mechanism through rolling friction, and significantly improves the stability and reliability of clamping by utilizing the continuous dynamic contact between the roller surface and the cylinder wall.
[0023] Furthermore, the drive unit 6 includes a rack 61 slidably disposed on one side of the side arm 3, a gear 62 meshing with the rack 61, and a telescopic device 63 (such as a hydraulic telescopic rod or an electric telescopic rod) disposed on the side arm 3 for driving the rack 61 to move. The gear 62 is sleeved on one end of the shaft of the corresponding clamping part 5 and is driven by the moving rack 61 to rotate the clamping part 5. The rack 61 can be slidably connected to the track disposed on the side arm 3 by a slider. By controlling the telescopic device 63 to drive the rack 61, the rack 61 drives the gear 62, and the gear 62 causes the corresponding clamping part 5 to rotate.
[0024] Furthermore, a protective shell (not shown in the figure) is fitted on the outside of the rack 61 and gear 62, and the protective shell is connected to the side arm 3. The protective shell and the side arm 3 are detachably fixed. An opening is provided on the protective shell for one end of the telescopic device 63 to enter. The protective shell protects the internal rack 61 and gear 62 and extends the service life of the drive unit 6.
[0025] Furthermore, the end of the side arm 3 facing the sliding seat 2 is slidably connected to the slide rail located on the outer wall of the sliding seat 2 via a slider 1. The slider 1 and the slide rail 1 ensure stable movement of the side arm 3 and improve the load-bearing capacity of the side arm 3.
[0026] Furthermore, a counterweight is provided at one end of the shaft of a clamping part 5 away from the drive part 6. The counterweight is used to limit the angle of the clamping part 5. For example, the vertical cross section of the counterweight is fan-shaped. In the initial state, its tip points down and its arc end points up. In this state, the mounting seat 51 in the corresponding clamping part 5 is horizontal with the side arm 3 in the length direction to ensure that it can stably clamp the cylinder with another clamping part 5.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
