Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tank inspection technology, and in particular to a continuous tank inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] In industries such as food, chemical, and pharmaceutical, tanks are common containers, and their sealing and structural integrity are directly related to the preservation quality and safety of the contents. Therefore, strict sealing tests are required for tanks during the production process to ensure that they meet the usage standards. Traditional tank testing methods usually involve manual visual inspection or simple airtightness tests, but these methods have problems such as low efficiency, strong subjectivity, and easy to miss detections, making it difficult to meet the high efficiency and high precision requirements of modern production lines.

[0003] Currently, there are some automated testing equipment on the market, such as devices that test the sealing performance of tanks by air pressure. However, existing equipment still has the following shortcomings in practical applications: after the test is completed, the operator needs to manually move the tank out of the testing station and place it according to the test results (qualified or unqualified). Manual sorting is prone to confusion due to operational errors, which affects quality control and overall testing efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need to design a can detection device capable of efficient and automated sorting, thereby improving detection accuracy and production efficiency, reducing the risk of human intervention, and overcoming the limitations of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a tank continuity detection device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A continuous tank inspection device includes a base, a slide assembly mounted on the top of the base, a slide block movably connected to the slide assembly, a clamping component mounted on the slide block, a bottom frame fixed to the bottom of the slide block, an electric telescopic rod two fixed to the bottom outer wall of the bottom frame, a placement plate fixed to the output end of the electric telescopic rod two by a pin, a support frame fixed to the top of the slide assembly, an electric telescopic rod three fixed to the top outer wall of the support frame, and an inspection component mounted to the output end of the electric telescopic rod three.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the slide rail assembly includes a slide rod and two upright plates, both of which are fixed to the top outer wall of the base, and the slide rod is fixed between the two upright plates by a pin, and the slide base and the slide rod are movably connected.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the slide assembly also includes two upright plates and a lead screw. The two upright plates are fixed to the top outer wall of the base, and the lead screw is movably connected between the two upright plates. The slide and the lead screw are connected by a nut. A drive motor is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the upright plate, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to one end of the lead screw through a coupling.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the fixing component includes a bracket and a drive plate, the guide rod is fixed to the inner wall of the slide by a pin, and the bracket and the guide rod are movably connected. The top of the bracket is welded with a drive plate, a pad is welded to one side of the outer wall of the drive plate, and a clamping block is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the pad, and a clamping head is welded to one end of the clamping block.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an electric telescopic rod is fixed to the outer wall of the bottom of the bottom frame, and a movable plate is fixed to the output end of the electric telescopic rod by a pin, and a connecting rod is movably connected between the inner wall of the movable plate and the bracket.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the detection component includes an air tube and a connecting frame. The connecting frame is fixed to the three output ends of the electric telescopic rod by a pin, and the air tube is welded to the bottom of the connecting frame. A pressure gauge is installed on the side wall of the air tube through a connector.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: a cover plate is welded to the outer wall of the trachea, and a retainer is welded to the bottom of the cover plate, with a rubber sleeve fitted onto the outer wall of the retainer.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, a controller is installed on one side of the outer wall of the upright plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a tank continuity detection device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. Through the coordinated design of the slide assembly and the slide base, the automated conveying of the tank is realized. With the electric telescopic rod three-drive detection assembly, the tank sealing test can be completed quickly. After the test is completed, the slide base immediately returns to the initial position to facilitate the loading of the next tank. This continuous operation mode significantly shortens the single tank test cycle and is suitable for the large-scale testing needs of multiple batches and large quantities of tanks, effectively improving the overall production efficiency.

[0017] 2. When the test is passed, the can is directly removed from the placement plate. When the test is failed, the three output ends of the electric telescopic rod move forward while the two output ends of the electric telescopic rod move back, so as to achieve a smooth transfer of the can from the top to the bottom of the slide. The can that fails the test is moved to the bottom of the slide and then removed from the placement plate. This method can avoid confusion between the cans that pass the test and those that fail the test after the test is completed.

[0018] 3. By using an electric telescopic rod and connecting rod, the vertical movement of the moving plate is converted into the synchronous lateral movement of the clamps, so as to achieve uniform force clamping of the tank by multiple clamps, ensuring that the tank axis is accurately aligned with the detection component during the test, and avoiding misjudgment of sealing due to misalignment.

[0019] The parts of this device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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.

[0027] A continuous detection device for tank bodies, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the system includes a base 1, a slide assembly is mounted on the top of the base 1, a slide seat 15 is slidably connected to the slide assembly, a fixing component for clamping the tank 16 is mounted on the slide seat 15, a bottom frame 10 is fixed to the bottom of the slide seat 15 by bolts, an electric telescopic rod 22 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the bottom of the bottom frame 10 by bolts, a placement plate 21 is fixed to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 22 by a pin, a support frame 8 is fixed to the top of the slide assembly, an electric telescopic rod 3 26 is fixed to the top outer wall of the support frame 9 by bolts, and a detection component is mounted to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 3 26.

[0028] When the tank 16 needs to be inspected, the tank 16 is first placed on the placement plate 21. In the initial state, the top of the placement plate 21 and the top of the slide block 15 are flush, and the diameter of the placement plate 21 is larger than the diameter of the tank 16. The tank 16 can be clamped and fixed by the fastener to ensure the stability of the tank 16. When the tank 16 needs to be inspected, the slide block 15 is moved by the slide rail assembly, so that the slide block 15 moves the tank 16 to the position below the inspection component. When the inspection starts, the inspection component is driven to move down by the electric telescopic rod 26. After the inspection component moves to contact the tank 16, the tank 16 is inspected.

[0029] When tank 16 passes inspection, the fixing device is released, and the inspector removes tank 16 from the placement plate 21 and places it in the qualified inspection area. When tank 16 fails inspection, the electric telescopic rod 26 and electric telescopic rod 12 are controlled. The output end of electric telescopic rod 26 moves forward, and the output end of electric telescopic rod 12 moves back. The moving speeds of the output ends of electric telescopic rod 26 and electric telescopic rod 12 are kept the same, so that tank 16 gradually moves from above slide 15 to below slide 15. Then the output end of electric telescopic rod 26 resets, and the inspector removes tank 16 from the placement plate 21 and places it in the unqualified inspection area. This method can avoid confusion between qualified and unqualified tanks 16 after inspection.

[0030] The slide rail assembly includes a slide rod 2 and two upright plates 3. Both upright plates 3 are fixed to the top outer wall of the base 1 by bolts, and the slide rod 2 is fixed between the two upright plates 3 by pins. The slide seat 15 and the slide rod 2 are slidably connected. The slide rail assembly also includes an upright plate 5 and a lead screw 7. Both upright plates 5 are fixed to the top outer wall of the base 1 by bolts, and the lead screw 7 is rotatably connected between the two upright plates 5. The slide seat 15 and the lead screw 7 are connected by a lead screw nut. A drive motor 6 is fixed to one side outer wall of the upright plate 5 by bolts, and the output end of the drive motor 6 is connected to one end of the lead screw 7 by a coupling.

[0031] The drive motor 6 can drive the lead screw 7 to rotate, so that the slide 15 moves laterally under the guidance of the slide rod 2. When multiple batches of tanks 16 need to be inspected, the slide 15 is initially located at the end of the slide assembly away from the inspection assembly. The tanks 16 can be placed on the placement plate 21 manually or by a robot. After the tanks 16 are discharged, the slide assembly drives the slide 15 and the tanks 16 to the inspection assembly for inspection. After the tanks 16 are inspected and discharged, the slide assembly drives the slide 15 to reset. In this way, continuous feeding and conveying of multiple tanks 16 is achieved.

[0032] The fixing component includes a bracket 9 and a drive plate 20. The guide rod 18 is fixed to the inner wall of the slide block 15 by a pin, and the bracket 9 and the guide rod 18 are slidably connected. The drive plate 20 is welded to the top of the bracket 9. A pad 22 is welded to one side of the outer wall of the drive plate 20. A clamping block 19 is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the pad 22 by screws. A clamping head 17 is welded to one end of the clamping block 19. An electric telescopic rod 11 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the bottom frame 10 by bolts. A moving plate 13 is fixed to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 11 by a pin. A connecting rod 14 is rotatably connected between the inner wall of the moving plate 13 and the bracket 9.

[0033] When the electric telescopic rod 11 drives the moving plate 13 to move, the vertical movement of the moving plate 13 can be converted into the lateral movement of the bracket 9 and the drive plate 20 along the guide rod 18 by the connecting rod 14. During the synchronous movement, the multiple clamps 17 gradually retract to clamp and fix the tank 16.

[0034] The detection assembly includes an air tube 24 and a connecting frame 29. The connecting frame 29 is fixed to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 26 by a pin, and the air tube 24 is welded to the bottom of the connecting frame 29. A pressure gauge 25 is installed on the side wall of the air tube 24 through a connector. A cover plate 23 is welded to the outer wall of the air tube 24, and a retainer 27 is welded to the bottom of the cover plate 23. A rubber sleeve 28 is fitted onto the outer wall of the retainer 27.

[0035] Before testing, one end of the air pipe 24 is connected to the air pump (not shown) via a connector. During testing, after the tank 16 is moved below the air pipe 24, the cover plate 23 and the bracket 27 are driven to move down using the electric telescopic rod 26. After the bracket 27 and the tank 16 are connected, the air pump is used to pressurize the air pipe 24. The pressure gauge 25 is used to test the pressure. If the pressure value displayed by the pressure gauge 25 reaches a certain value and tends to be stable, it proves that the tank 16 is sealed. If the pressure value displayed by the pressure gauge 25 cannot reach the preset pressure, it proves that the tank 16 is not sealed.

[0036] A controller 4 is installed on one outer wall of the upright plate 3;

[0037] The controller 4 can be used to control the electric telescopic pole 11, electric telescopic pole 22, electric telescopic pole 326, and drive motor 6.

[0038] Working principle: The tank 16 to be tested is placed on the placement plate 21 manually or by a robotic arm. The controller 4 controls the output end of the electric telescopic rod 11 to extend, pushing the moving plate 13 downward. The moving plate 13 converts the vertical motion into the lateral inward movement of the support 9 and the drive plate 20 through the connecting rod 14, causing the clamping block 19 and the clamping head 17 to retract synchronously and clamp the outer wall of the tank 16. The controller 4 starts the drive motor 6 to drive the lead screw 7 to rotate. The slide 15 moves laterally under the guidance of the slide rod 2 to directly below the testing component. The controller 4 controls... The output end of the electric telescopic rod 26 moves down, driving the connecting frame 29, air pipe 24, cover plate 23 and card seat 27 to press down synchronously until the outer wall rubber sleeve 28 of the card seat 27 is tightly fitted with the opening end face of the tank body 16, forming a sealed cavity. The air pump is started to fill the air pipe 24 with air. The pressure gauge 25 monitors the air pressure value in real time. If the pressure value displayed by the pressure gauge 25 reaches the preset value and remains stable, it is determined that the sealing performance of the tank body 16 is qualified. If the pressure value displayed by the pressure gauge 25 cannot reach the preset pressure, it proves that the sealing performance of the tank body 16 is unqualified.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
