Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment safety technology, and in particular to an anti-tipping structure for a dehydrator. Background Technology

[0002] High-speed dehydrators, as important mechanical equipment, are widely used in industrial production and daily life, especially in textiles, food processing, and chemical industries, where they play an irreplaceable role. However, during operation, high-speed dehydrators are prone to severe vibrations and even tipping over due to factors such as load eccentricity, unstable installation, or external interference. Such tipping can not only damage the equipment itself but also pose serious safety hazards to the surrounding environment and operators. Currently, traditional high-speed dehydrators typically rely on the stability of the mechanical structure and the operator's experience to avoid tipping risks, but these methods cannot completely eliminate safety problems caused by accidental vibrations or load imbalances. Furthermore, existing safety protection measures often lack real-time monitoring and automatic response capabilities, failing to quickly cut off power to prevent accidents from escalating when equipment malfunctions. Therefore, designing a structure capable of timely detecting tipping risks and automatically taking protective measures is crucial for improving the safety of high-speed dehydrators. This invention addresses this technical challenge by proposing an anti-tipping structure based on a weighted ball triggering mechanism, aiming to effectively improve the safety performance of high-speed dehydrators through real-time monitoring and rapid response. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-tipping structure for a dehydrator, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows: an anti-tipping structure for a dehydrator includes support feet, a dehydrator base, a pin track, a pin, a spring, a micro switch sliding key, and a micro switch. The support feet are fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the dehydrator to disperse vibrations generated during operation and provide stable support. The dehydrator base is rigidly connected to the support feet and serves as the foundation component of the entire anti-tipping device. The pin track is vertically fixed to the inner side wall of the dehydrator base, and its inner cavity has a guide groove that defines the direction of pin movement. The pin is installed in the pin track by a spring, with one end subjected to axial force by the spring, and the other end extending out of the pin track and engaging with the micro switch sliding key. The micro switch sliding key is located at the pin track outlet, and its movement path is mechanically blocked by the end of the pin. The micro switch is fixed to the dehydrator base, and its trigger end contacts the micro switch sliding key to control the on / off state of the machine's power supply.

[0005] Furthermore, the guide groove of the pin track is designed with a rectangular cross-section, its length is arranged vertically, and its width matches the pin diameter, ensuring that the pin can only move linearly in the vertical direction. One end of the spring is fixed to the bottom of the pin track, and the other end is nested with the tail of the pin. Its elastic coefficient is precisely calculated to ensure that the pin remains in the locked position under normal conditions. The travel distance of the microswitch sliding key is adapted to the trigger distance of the microswitch. When the pin moves out of the locked position, the microswitch sliding key slides along a preset path and triggers the microswitch.

[0006] Specifically, the anti-tipping structure of the present invention has an automatic detection and response function in the working state. S1: In the normal working state, the pin is held in the locked position by the spring, and its end extends to the pin track outlet and forms a mechanical block on the micro switch sliding key, so that the micro switch sliding key cannot touch the micro switch. At this time, the micro switch is in the on state, and the machine operates normally. S2: When the dehydrator vibrates or tilts severely due to load eccentricity or other reasons, the support pads lose balance, the base of the dehydrator body tilts, and the pin slides out of the locked position along the pin track under the action of gravity, releasing the mechanical block on the micro switch sliding key. S3: After the micro switch sliding key is no longer blocked by the pin, it slides along a predetermined path and touches the micro switch, switching the micro switch from the on state to the off state, thereby cutting off the machine power and stopping the machine operation. S4: When the dehydrator returns to the normal position, the spring's reset action pushes the pin back to the locked position, restoring the mechanical block on the micro switch sliding key, the micro switch is reconnected, and the machine can return to the normal working state.

[0007] The pin is designed with a stepped structure, with a larger diameter at the end near the spring to limit its maximum movement distance, and a smaller diameter at the other end to facilitate engagement with the micro switch slide key. The contact area of ​​the micro switch slide key has an arc-shaped groove for precisely positioning the pin end, ensuring that the pin stably blocks the movement of the micro switch slide key under normal conditions. The trigger end of the micro switch uses a spring-loaded design, with its travel range matching the movement distance of the micro switch slide key for rapid response.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this invention lie in its implementation of an automatic power-off protection function in case of equipment tipping through mechanical structure design. Firstly, a stable and sensitive tipping detection mechanism is constructed using a combination of pins and springs, which can quickly cut off the power supply when the equipment tilts abnormally, thereby avoiding safety hazards caused by tipping. Secondly, the spring's reset action ensures that the anti-tipping device automatically resets after the equipment returns to its normal position, requiring no manual intervention and improving ease of use. Finally, the overall structural design is simple, with components directly connected mechanically, eliminating the need for additional electronic components or complex control systems, thus reducing production costs and maintenance difficulty.

[0009] Furthermore, the anti-tipping structure of the present invention has significant advantages in manufacturing and assembly. The support feet are made of wear-resistant rubber material, with anti-slip texture on the bottom to enhance friction with the ground, while the top is fixedly connected to the base of the dehydrator by bolts, facilitating disassembly and replacement. The pin track is fixed to the inner side wall of the dehydrator base by welding or screws, and its installation position is precisely calculated to ensure that the movement trajectory of the pin is consistent with the movement path of the micro switch sliding key. The spring is made of alloy steel with excellent fatigue resistance, and its elastic coefficient has been verified through multiple tests, enabling it to maintain stable performance during long-term use.

[0010] In particular, the anti-tipping structure of this invention exhibits high reliability and stability in practical applications. Because the guide groove of the pin track is designed with a rectangular cross-section, it effectively prevents the pin from shifting or jamming during movement, ensuring the operational accuracy of the entire device. Simultaneously, the optimized design of the cooperation between the microswitch sliding key and the microswitch ensures rapid and accurate triggering, avoiding the possibility of false or delayed triggering. Furthermore, all components of the device are designed using standardized methods, facilitating mass production and quality control, further enhancing the product's market competitiveness.

[0011] In summary, this invention provides a highly efficient and reliable anti-tipping solution for high-speed dewatering machines through innovative mechanical structure design. Its core lies in utilizing a linkage mechanism of pins, springs, and microswitches to achieve automatic power-off protection in the event of a tipping, while also possessing automatic reset capability, significantly improving the equipment's safety performance. This structure is suitable for various high-speed dewatering machine applications, and has particularly broad application prospects in industrial production environments. Attached Figure Description

[0015] This invention relates to an anti-tipping structure for a dehydrator, which achieves automatic power-off protection in case of abnormal tilting or tipping through a mechanical linkage design. The following is in conjunction with the appendix... Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the anti-tipping structure of the high-speed dehydrator under normal operating conditions is shown. Figure 2 This diagram shows the anti-tipping structure of the high-speed dehydrator in a tilted state. The labels for each component are as follows: 1 is the support foot pad, 2 is the base of the dehydrator body, 3 is the spring, 4 is the pin rail, 5 is the pin, 6 is the micro switch slide key, and 7 is the micro switch.

[0016] The anti-tipping structure for the dehydrator in this embodiment mainly consists of support feet 1, a dehydrator base 2, a pin rail 4, a pin 5, a spring 3, a micro switch sliding key 6, and a micro switch 7. The support feet 1 are fixed to the four corners of the bottom of the dehydrator and are made of wear-resistant rubber. Their bottoms have anti-slip textures to enhance friction with the ground, and their tops are rigidly connected to the dehydrator base 2 with bolts for easy disassembly and replacement. The dehydrator base 2 serves as the basic component of the entire anti-tipping device. A pin rail 4 is vertically fixed to its internal sidewall. The guide groove of the pin rail 4 is designed with a rectangular cross-section, its length is arranged vertically, and its width matches the diameter of the pin 5, ensuring that the pin 5 can only move linearly in the vertical direction.

[0017] The pin 5 is mounted within the pin track 4 via a spring 3. The end of the pin 5 closest to the spring 3 has a larger diameter to limit its maximum movement, while the other end has a smaller diameter to facilitate engagement with the micro switch sliding key 6. One end of the spring 3 is fixed to the bottom of the pin track 4, and the other end is nested with the tail of the pin 5. Its elastic coefficient is precisely calculated, and it is made of alloy steel with excellent fatigue resistance, ensuring stable performance over long-term use. The micro switch sliding key 6 is located at the exit of the pin track 4, and its contact area has an arc-shaped groove for precisely positioning the end of the pin 5, ensuring that the pin 5 stably blocks the movement of the micro switch sliding key 6 under normal conditions. The micro switch 7 is fixed to the base 2 of the dehydrator body. Its trigger end uses a spring-type design and contacts the micro switch sliding key 6 to control the on / off state of the machine's power supply.

[0018] Under normal operating conditions, pin 5 is held in the locked position by spring 3, with its end extending to the outlet of pin track 4 and mechanically blocking the micro switch slide key 6, preventing it from activating micro switch 7. At this time, micro switch 7 is in the ON state, and the machine operates normally. When the dehydrator experiences severe vibration or tilting due to load eccentricity or other reasons, the support foot pad 1 loses balance, and the base 2 of the dehydrator tilts. Under gravity, pin 5 slides out of the locked position along pin track 4, releasing the mechanical blockage of micro switch slide key 6. At this time, micro switch slide key 6, no longer blocked by pin 5, slides along a predetermined path and activates micro switch 7, switching it from the ON state to the OFF state, thereby cutting off the machine power and stopping the machine. When the dehydrator returns to its normal position, the reset action of spring 3 pushes pin 5 back to the locked position, restoring the mechanical blockage of micro switch slide key 6, and micro switch 7 re-energizes, allowing the machine to resume normal operation.

[0019] The anti-tipping structure in this embodiment demonstrates high reliability and stability in practical applications. The guide groove of the pin track 4 is designed with a rectangular cross-section, effectively preventing the pin 5 from shifting or jamming during movement, ensuring the overall operational accuracy of the device. The optimized design of the cooperation between the microswitch sliding key 6 and the microswitch 7 ensures rapid and accurate triggering, avoiding the possibility of false or delayed triggering. Furthermore, all components of the device are designed using standardized methods, facilitating mass production and quality control, further enhancing the product's market competitiveness.

[0020] In industrial production environments, high-speed dewatering machines typically require continuous operation for extended periods, making their safety performance paramount. The anti-tipping structure in this embodiment directly connects the components mechanically, eliminating the need for additional electronic components or complex control systems, thus reducing production costs and maintenance complexity. For example, in the textile industry, high-speed dewatering machines process large quantities of wet fabric; if the equipment tipps over due to load eccentricity, it could lead to serious safety accidents. The anti-tipping structure in this embodiment can quickly cut off the power supply when the equipment tilts abnormally, preventing personal injury or equipment damage caused by tipping. Furthermore, due to the restoring action of spring 3, the anti-tipping device automatically resets after the equipment returns to its normal position, requiring no manual intervention and improving ease of use.

[0021] To verify the performance of the anti-tipping structure in this embodiment, multiple experimental tests were conducted. The experimental results show that the structure can respond quickly and cut off the power supply at different tilt angles, with a trigger time of less than 0.1 seconds, meeting the safety requirements of industrial equipment. Meanwhile, the elastic coefficient of spring 3 has been verified through multiple tests, demonstrating stable performance over long-term use and ensuring that pin 5 remains in the locked position under normal conditions. Furthermore, the anti-slip design of the support feet 1 significantly enhances the stability of the equipment, providing reliable support even on wet and slippery surfaces.

[0022] In summary, the anti-tipping structure for the dewatering machine in this embodiment, through innovative mechanical design, achieves automatic power-off protection when the equipment tipps over, while also possessing automatic reset capability, significantly improving the equipment's safety performance. This structure is suitable for various high-speed dewatering machine applications, and has broad application prospects, especially in industrial production environments.
