Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a vehicle-mounted gas cylinder cleaning and uprighting device. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle-mounted gas cylinders are widely used in the automotive industry to store fuel gases, and therefore have very high requirements. In the cylinder manufacturing process, the necking and trimming of excess material are crucial steps. With industrial development, the demands for cylinder quality and precision are increasing. After necking and trimming, the cylinder's internal components need to be cleaned to remove any residue; the cleanliness of the cylinder's interior directly affects its quality.

[0003] In the absence of automated equipment such as cylinder uprighters, traditional gas cylinder cleaning relies on manual labor for tasks such as uprighting and positioning the cylinders before cleaning. This is labor-intensive and extremely inefficient, failing to meet the needs of large-scale gas cylinder cleaning. Furthermore, manual handling and uprighting of cylinders poses significant safety hazards, as cylinder tipping can easily lead to personal injury and property damage. Additionally, manual uprighting makes it difficult to ensure the verticality and stability of the cylinders, affecting the accuracy and effectiveness of subsequent cleaning operations, resulting in incomplete cleaning or damage to the cleaning equipment.

[0004] Existing gas cylinder cleaning equipment also has certain shortcomings. While some existing equipment has cleaning capabilities, it lacks a dedicated cylinder uprighting device, or the connection between the uprighting device and the cleaning equipment is not tight enough, failing to achieve an automated cylinder uprighting-cleaning process. This necessitates manual intervention during intermediate operations, reducing overall work efficiency. Some existing cylinder uprighting devices can only upright cylinders of specific sizes and shapes, lacking versatility for different sizes and types of cylinders, and thus failing to meet the diverse cylinder cleaning needs of the market. Furthermore, some existing cylinder uprighting devices may experience issues such as insecure cylinder fixation and easy shaking during the uprighting process. This not only affects cleaning quality but may also cause cylinders to fall during cleaning, resulting in equipment damage and safety accidents. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0026] This utility model embodiment includes a feeding conveyor line 1, a rotating device 2, a bottle uprighting device 3, a bottle mouth fixer 4, a bottle body fixer 5, and a frame 6.

[0027] Feeding conveyor line 1 is a gas cylinder feeding device for the cleaning upright bottle machine, and feeding conveyor line 1 is installed on the frame 6.

[0028] The upright cylinder device 3 includes an upright cylinder conveyor line 31, a rotating shaft 32, and a lifting mechanism 33. The rotating shaft 32 is mounted on the frame 6 and serves as the upright rotation base, ensuring that the cylinder can be fully supported for easy cleaning. The upright cylinder conveyor line 31 is set on the frame 6 and connected to the rotating shaft 32, thus the upright cylinder conveyor line 31 is rotatably mounted on the frame 6 via the rotating shaft 32. One end of the lifting mechanism 33 is set on the frame 6, and the other end is set on the upright cylinder conveyor line 31, ensuring that the entire upright cylinder conveyor line 31 can be lifted by the lifting mechanism 33 to achieve upright cylinder operation for easy cleaning. The lifting mechanism 33 uses a cylinder.

[0029] The rotating device 2 is located between the feeding conveyor line 1 and the upright bottle conveyor line 31. It includes a pallet 21, a pallet lifting mechanism 22, a lifting guide rod 23, a rotating mechanism 24, a mounting plate 25, and a support block 26. The mounting plate 25 is lifted and mounted on the frame 6 via the lifting guide rod 23. The pallet lifting mechanism 22 is mounted on the frame 6 and connected to the mounting plate 25. The pallet lifting mechanism 22 uses a telescopic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The rotating mechanism 24 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 25 and uses a rotary cylinder. The pallet 21 is fixedly mounted on the rotating mechanism 24. The support block 26 is fixedly mounted on the pallet 21. The pallet 26 is an arc-shaped support block that fits the surface of the gas cylinder, ensuring a secure fit and stable lifting of the gas cylinder. When rotating the gas cylinder, the rotating device 2 can lift the gas cylinder, thus completing the rotation. It can satisfy both lifting and rotating movements, making the gas cylinder rotation smoother and achieving automation.

[0030] The bottle mouth retainer 4 is fixedly installed on the vertical bottle conveyor line 31. The bottle mouth retainer 4 is provided with a bayonet 41, which can ensure that the gas cylinder port can extend and allow waste liquid to flow out during the cleaning process; the bayonet 41 is elongated and can adapt to gas cylinders of various sizes, enabling the cleaning of gas cylinders of various sizes, improving efficiency and utilization rate.

[0031] The cylinder holder 5 includes a bracket 51, a guide rod 52, a pressure head 53, and a pressure head lifting mechanism 54. The bracket 51 is fixedly mounted on the cylinder conveyor line 31, ensuring that the cylinder holder 5 can be lifted together when the cylinder is upright, thus maintaining the cylinder's stability. The pressure head 53 is lifted and lowered on the bracket 51 via the guide rod 52, positioned above the cylinder conveyor line 31. The pressure head lifting mechanism 54 is mounted on the bracket 51 and connected to the pressure head 53. The pressure head lifting mechanism 54 uses a telescopic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder. The guide rod 52, pressure head 53, and pressure head lifting mechanism 54 work together. Under the action of the pressure head lifting mechanism 54, the pressure head 53 approaches and presses against the cylinder surface. The guide rod 52 provides directional guidance for the pressure head 53, ensuring it accurately presses against the center of the cylinder, guaranteeing its stability.

[0032] The working method of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] 1. When the mouth of the gas cylinder faces the mouth retainer 4:

[0034] When the rotating device 2 is not working, the pallet 21 descends to its lowest position. The gas cylinder enters the upright cylinder conveyor line 31 under the drive of the feeding conveyor line 1. The cylinder mouth is engaged with the cylinder mouth retainer 4. Then the cylinder body retainer 5 takes effect, and the pressure head lifting mechanism 54 drives the pressure head 53 to descend. The pressure head 53 holds the gas cylinder in place, ensuring that the cylinder body will not move after it is upright. The lifting mechanism 33 lifts up, causing the upright cylinder conveyor line 31 to rotate and then stand upright, driving the gas cylinder to stand upright with its mouth facing down, allowing the gas cylinder to be cleaned. After cleaning is completed, the lifting mechanism 33 returns to its original position, causing the upright cylinder conveyor line 31 to reverse and lie flat, driving the gas cylinder to lie flat. The cylinder body retainer 5 resets and is released. The upright cylinder conveyor line 31 then drives the gas cylinder to move to the feeding conveyor line 1 for output.

[0035] 2. When the mouth of the gas cylinder faces away from the mouth retainer 4:

[0036] The gas cylinder enters the rotating device 2 driven by the feeding conveyor line 1. The pallet lifting mechanism 22 lifts the mounting plate 25, which in turn lifts the pallet 21, and the support block 26 holds the gas cylinder. The rotating mechanism 24 rotates the pallet 21 180 degrees.

[0037] This allows the gas cylinder to complete a 180-degree rotation, with the cylinder opening facing away from the cylinder opening retainer 4. The rotating device 2 then resets, the support plate 21 descends, the support block 26 leaves the gas cylinder, and the gas cylinder enters the vertical cylinder conveyor line 31, completing the cleaning process as described above. After cleaning, the gas cylinder can return to the rotating device 2. Under the action of the rotating device 2, the cylinder opening returns to facing away from the cylinder opening retainer 4, and then the gas cylinder moves to the feeding conveyor line 1 for output. Alternatively, the cleaned gas cylinder can be directly output with its opening facing away from the cylinder opening retainer 4.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described in this specification may differ in the shape and name of their components. The above description is merely illustrative of the structure of this utility model. All equivalent or simple variations made based on the structure, features, and principles described in this utility model patent concept are included within the protection scope of this utility model patent. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of this utility model or exceed the scope defined in these claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
