Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an adaptive ground vat material extraction device, belonging to the field of ground vat fermentation material extraction technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the brewing industry, earthen vat fermentation is widely used due to its unique role in flavor development. However, the process of removing raw materials after fermentation has long relied on manual shovel handling. This traditional method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to leaving residues or damaging the vats due to human error, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern, large-scale, and standardized brewing production.

[0003] In recent years, some automated material handling equipment has attempted to replace manual labor, for example, by using mechanical structures with rigid scrapers or fixed-arc buckets. However, existing technologies generally have the following drawbacks: First, the matching degree between the equipment shape and the inner wall of the cylinder is low. Especially when the cylinder body develops ellipticity, taper, or local deformation due to the firing process or long-term use, rigid components are prone to damage to the cylinder wall due to forced compression. Second, the scraping mechanism lacks dynamic compensation capability, which can easily form dead corners in inclined or irregularly shaped cylinders, resulting in a high proportion of residual material, directly affecting the batch material utilization rate and subsequent cleaning costs. Third, to adapt to different cylinder diameters, some equipment requires frequent replacement of end effectors, which is complex to operate and results in long downtime.

[0004] Furthermore, while existing multi-motor driven split-type hinge structures can achieve localized deformation through independent control, the motor torque mode lags in its response to instantaneous load changes. This can easily lead to plastic deformation of the linkage mechanism when it is forcibly pressed against the cylinder wall, resulting in decreased accuracy after long-term operation. A completely rigid connection method cannot absorb geometric errors in the cylinder wall, further exacerbating mechanical impact and wear. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the existing technology and provides a material handling device that combines high adaptability, low damage rate and high efficiency in scraping.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an adaptive ground cylinder material handling device, including a rotating part, a large hinge part and a small hinge part, both of which are fixed on a base. The rotating part and the base are connected together by a pin. The opening and closing connection end of the large hinge part is provided with a flexible device, which is used to provide buffer for the large hinge part.

[0007] Furthermore, the structure of the large hinge section includes a motor reducer, a ball screw, a large hinge guide, a connecting plate and its connecting rod, and the large hinge. The motor reducer and the large hinge guide are both mounted on the base. The output end of the motor reducer is connected to the ball screw. The large hinge guide is arranged parallel to the ball screw. One end of the ball screw is connected to the connecting plate and its connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting plate and its connecting rod is connected to the large hinge. The operation of the motor reducer can drive the connecting plate and its connecting rod to move up and down and swing, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the large hinge.

[0008] Furthermore, the structure of the small hinge portion includes an electric push cylinder, a small hinge guide, a connecting head and its connecting rod, and a small hinge. The electric push cylinder and the small hinge guide are arranged in parallel. The output end of the electric push cylinder is connected to one end of the connecting head and its connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting head and its connecting rod is connected to the small hinge. The action of the electric push cylinder can drive the connecting head and its connecting rod to move up and down and swing, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the small hinge.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of motor reducers is two, each of which is connected to a three-lobed large hinge, and both motor reducers can operate independently.

[0010] Furthermore, the flexible device has the following structure: it includes a T-shaped seat, a spring piece, and a hinge seat. The spring piece is inverted L-shaped. The T-shaped seat presses down on the short side of the spring piece and fixes it to the half plate of the connecting plate and its connecting rod. The lower end of the long side of the spring piece is connected to the connecting rod of the connecting plate and its connecting rod through the hinge seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the spring force of the spring can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the screw screwed into the threaded hole of the T-shaped seat and the spring.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model incorporates a flexible device in the large hinge section, resulting in stable opening and closing movements with minimal impact. It provides elastic buffering at the moment the large hinge closes, absorbing inertial impacts, reducing the reverse torque on the motor reducer and frame, and extending the overall machine lifespan. Simultaneously, it prevents damage to the floor cylinder due to rigid collisions, resulting in a lower damage rate. Furthermore, this utility model employs a two-stage opening and closing mechanism of "large hinge + small hinge," offering strong adaptability to different floor cylinders. Two motor reducers independently drive the six-lobed large hinge, enabling precise scraping of small or irregularly shaped floor cylinders and improving cleaning efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses an adaptive ground cylinder material handling device, comprising a rotating part 1, a large hinge part 2, and a small hinge part 3. Both the large hinge part 2 and the small hinge part 3 are fixed to a base 6. The rotating part 1 and the base 6 are connected together by a pin 4. A flexible device 5 is provided at the opening and closing connection end of the large hinge part 2. The flexible device 5 provides buffering for the large hinge part 2. The flexible device 5 comprises a T-shaped seat 51, a spring piece 52, and a hinge seat 53. The spring piece 52 is inverted L-shaped. The T-shaped seat 51 presses down on the short side of the spring piece 52 and fixes it to the half plate 7 of the connecting plate and its connecting rod 24. The lower end of the long side of the spring piece 52 is connected to the connecting rod of the connecting plate and its connecting rod 24 through the hinge seat 53. The elastic force of the spring piece 52 is adjusted by adjusting the distance between the screw screwed into the threaded hole of the T-shaped seat 51 and the spring piece 52.

[0020] In this invention, before the opening and closing of the large hinge section 3 of the bucket, the six hinges are controlled by the torque modes of two motors to adaptively fit against the inner wall of the ground cylinder. One motor controls three large hinges. However, due to the large deviation in the shape of the ground cylinder, it is difficult to adapt, causing the connecting rod and hinges to deform in a short time. Therefore, a flexible device is added to the opening and closing connection end of the large hinge.

[0021] In this embodiment, the structure of the large hinge part 2 includes a motor reducer 21, a ball screw 22, a large hinge guide 23, a connecting plate and its connecting rod 24, and a large hinge 25. The motor reducer 21 and the large hinge guide 23 are both mounted on the base 6. The output end of the motor reducer 21 is connected to the ball screw 22. The large hinge guide 23 is arranged parallel to the ball screw 22. The ball screw 22 is connected to one end of the connecting plate and its connecting rod 24, and the other end of the connecting plate and its connecting rod 24 is connected to the large hinge 25. The operation of the motor reducer 21 can drive the connecting plate and its connecting rod 24 to move up and down and swing, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the large hinge 25. The number of motor reducers 21 is two, and each motor reducer 21 is connected to a three-lobed large hinge 25. Both motor reducers 21 can operate independently, and each motor reducer 21 can control the three-lobed large hinge 25 connected to it to open to different degrees; especially for tilting cylinders, it can achieve a better cylinder scraping effect.

[0022] In this embodiment, the structure of the small hinge part 3 is as follows: it includes an electric push cylinder 31, a small hinge guide 32, a connector and its connecting rod 33, and a small hinge 34. The electric push cylinder 31 and the small hinge guide 32 are arranged in parallel. The output end of the electric push cylinder 31 is connected to one end of the connector and its connecting rod 33, and the other end of the connector and its connecting rod 33 is connected to the small hinge 34. The action of the electric push cylinder 31 can drive the connector and its connecting rod 33 to move up and down and swing, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the small hinge 34.

[0023] In this invention, the lower end of the large hinge 15 and the upper end of the small hinge 25 are movably connected together. After grabbing the mash, the small hinge 25 is retracted to seal the grabbed mash in the closed cavity formed by the large hinge 15 and the small hinge 25, and then it is transferred.

[0024] This invention incorporates a flexible device in the large hinge section, ensuring stable opening and closing with minimal impact. It provides elastic cushioning upon hinge closure, absorbing inertial impact and reducing the reverse torque on the motor reducer and frame, thus extending the overall machine lifespan. Simultaneously, it prevents damage to the floor cylinder from rigid collisions, resulting in a low damage rate. Furthermore, this invention employs a two-stage opening and closing mechanism of "large hinge + small hinge," offering strong adaptability to different floor cylinders. Two motor reducers independently drive the six-lobed large hinge, enabling precise scraping of small or irregularly shaped floor cylinders and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
