Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ice-making equipment technology, and more specifically to a vacuum unit of an ice-making equipment production line. Background Technology

[0002] With rising living standards and changing consumption habits, more and more families are pursuing more convenient and personalized consumption experiences. In recent years, small ice-making equipment has gradually gained popularity among consumers due to its ease of operation, small footprint, and ability to provide fresh ice on demand, resulting in rapid market demand growth. Especially during the hot summer months, ice-making equipment has become an essential appliance for many households, used to make chilled drinks, smoothies, ice cream, and more, meeting the needs of family gatherings, daily consumption, and other scenarios. With technological advancements and increasing market demand, the production model of ice-making equipment has undergone significant changes, gradually shifting towards large-scale, automated, and intelligent production lines. This transformation not only improves production efficiency but also enhances product quality and consistency.

[0003] Currently, ice-making equipment production lines are mostly composed of assembly modules and performance testing modules. The assembly module is the core part of the ice-making equipment production line, responsible for assembling various components into a complete ice-making device. The performance testing module is responsible for conducting comprehensive performance testing and quality control on the assembled ice-making device. The assembly module includes a basic assembly unit, a vacuum unit, and a subsequent assembly unit. The vacuum unit is an important link in the ice-making equipment production line, mainly used for vacuuming the refrigeration system and charging refrigerant.

[0004] Existing ice-making equipment production lines have multiple vacuum stations in their vacuum units, each equipped with an independent fixed vacuum device. Multiple ice-making machines need to move sequentially to their respective vacuum stations to begin the vacuuming process. Once all the ice-making machines in a batch have completed vacuuming, the vacuum device stops working, and the batch of ice-making machines proceeds to the next process. A new batch of ice-making machines then enters its respective vacuum station, repeating the process. New batches of ice-making machines must wait for the previous batch to complete vacuuming before they can enter their vacuum stations. In large-scale production, this waiting time is too long, leading to low production efficiency. Furthermore, the vacuum device is idle while waiting for the ice-making machines to be in place or after vacuuming is completed and the machines are moved out, resulting in significant resource waste and impacting the production efficiency of the ice-making equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a vacuum unit for an ice-making equipment production line. By setting up a vacuum device and ice-making equipment that can move synchronously, the vacuuming operation can be completed during the movement, which greatly reduces waiting time, meets more production needs, and improves production efficiency.

[0006] This application provides a vacuum unit for an ice-making equipment production line, including a first conveying track and a second conveying track. Multiple first movable seats are installed on the first conveying track. The first movable seats are used to install ice-making equipment and drive the ice-making equipment to move along the first conveying track. Multiple second movable seats are installed on the second conveying track. Vacuum devices are installed on the second movable seats. The second movable seats are used to drive the vacuum devices to move along the second conveying track. The second movable seats move synchronously with their corresponding first movable seats, so that the vacuum devices and the ice-making equipment complete the vacuuming process during synchronous movement.

[0007] In this technical solution, the first conveyor track carries the first movable seat equipped with ice-making equipment, ensuring that the ice-making equipment can move along a predetermined path. The second conveyor track carries the second movable seat equipped with a vacuum device, ensuring that the vacuum device can move along a predetermined path and move synchronously with the ice-making equipment. The vacuum device is used to perform vacuuming operations on the refrigeration system of the ice-making equipment. A quick-connect and disconnect interface is used between the vacuum device and the refrigeration system of the ice-making equipment to reduce connection and disconnection time and improve production efficiency. The vacuum unit can be equipped with an automated control system to ensure that the second movable seat (vacuum device) and the first movable seat (ice-making equipment) remain synchronized during movement. Traditional vacuuming methods require waiting for all ice-making equipment to be in place before starting the vacuuming operation. However, in this application, each ice-making equipment is equipped with an independent vacuum device, which includes a small vacuum pump, vacuum pipes, a vacuum gauge, and control valves. These components are integrated on the second movable seat and can move synchronously with the ice-making equipment. Synchronous movement: The ice-making equipment moves to the preset vacuuming station via the first moving seat and the first conveyor track. When the ice-making equipment reaches the vacuuming station, the corresponding vacuum device connects to the refrigeration equipment via a quick connector to begin the vacuuming operation. During the vacuuming process, the ice-making equipment and the vacuum device move together via the first and second moving seats to ensure that the vacuuming operation is completed during the movement. After the ice-making equipment completes the vacuuming, the vacuum device automatically disconnects, and the refrigeration equipment continues to move to the next process. By setting up a synchronously moving vacuum device and ice-making equipment, the vacuuming operation can be completed during the movement, greatly reducing waiting time, improving the utilization rate of the vacuum device, and reducing equipment idle time. The mobile vacuum device can be flexibly laid out according to the actual needs of the production line, adapting to different scales and types of production lines. The number of vacuum devices can be easily increased or decreased without large-scale modifications to the existing production line, thereby meeting more production needs and improving production efficiency.

[0008] As an improvement, the first and second conveying tracks are arranged side-by-side in the left-right direction. In this technical solution, the first and second conveying tracks are arranged parallel to each other in the horizontal direction and on the same horizontal plane, so that the conveying directions of the first and second conveying tracks are the same. This ensures that the ice-making equipment and the vacuum device can move synchronously in the same direction, which facilitates vacuuming operations during movement, reduces the distance between equipment, and improves space utilization. This side-by-side track layout not only improves production efficiency but also optimizes space utilization, making the entire production line more compact and suitable for large-scale, high-precision ice-making equipment production lines.

[0009] As an improvement, a third conveyor track is also included. This third conveyor track is used to transfer the second movable seat located at the end of the second conveyor track to the starting point of the second conveyor track, so that the second movable seat drives the vacuum device to move cyclically. In this technical solution, the second conveyor track is elongated to ensure that the vacuum device can complete the vacuuming operation during movement. The end point of the second conveyor track is the position of the vacuum device after completing the vacuuming operation. At this time, the vacuum device needs to return to the starting point to perform the next round of operation. The main function of the third conveyor track is to transfer the second movable seat located at the end point of the second conveyor track back to the starting point of the second conveyor track, realizing the cyclical movement of the vacuum device. This reduces the steps of manually retrieving the vacuum device, avoids the labor-intensive and time-consuming problems caused by manual operation, and allows the vacuum device to quickly return to the starting point to prepare for the next round of vacuuming operation. This ensures that the production line can continuously perform vacuuming operations, improves production efficiency, and saves labor costs.

[0010] As an improvement, the third conveyor track is arranged parallel to the second conveyor track in a vertical direction. In this technical solution, the third conveyor track is located above or below the second conveyor track, forming a vertical parallel relationship. After completing the vacuuming operation, the vacuum device returns to the starting point of the second conveyor track via the third conveyor track, achieving recycling. The vertical parallel design makes the entire production line more compact in the vertical direction, suitable for large-scale production in confined space environments. The vacuum device can quickly return to the starting point to prepare for the next round of vacuuming operations, ensuring that the production line can continuously perform vacuuming operations and improving production efficiency.

[0011] As an improvement, the end point of the second conveyor track and one end of the third conveyor track are connected by a first lifting device, so that the second movable seat on the second conveyor track can be transferred to the third conveyor track. The starting point of the second conveyor track and the other end of the third conveyor track are connected by a second lifting device, so that the second movable seat on the third conveyor track can be transferred to the second conveyor track. In this technical solution, the first lifting device is located between the end point of the second conveyor track and one end of the third conveyor track, and is used to lift or lower the second movable seat that has completed the vacuuming operation from the second conveyor track to the third conveyor track. The second lifting device is located between the starting point of the second conveyor track and the other end of the third conveyor track, and is used to lift or lower the second movable seat that has completed the cycle from the third conveyor track to the starting point of the second conveyor track. This ensures that the second movable seat can be transferred smoothly and efficiently from the second conveyor track to the third conveyor track, realizing the cyclic movement of the vacuum device. The automatic transfer of the second movable seat is achieved through the first and second lifting devices, reducing manual intervention and avoiding the labor-intensive and time-consuming problems caused by manual operation. The vertical transfer is achieved through the first and second lifting devices, further optimizing the spatial layout, reducing the floor space occupied by the vacuum unit, and improving the overall efficiency of the production line.

[0012] As an improvement, at least two first conveyor tracks are provided, and at least two second conveyor tracks are provided corresponding to the first conveyor tracks. Both the first and second conveyor tracks are arranged side-by-side in the left-right direction. In this technical solution, at least two first conveyor tracks are provided, each first conveyor track corresponds to one second conveyor track, and each second conveyor track corresponds to one third conveyor track. Each first conveyor track and its corresponding second and third conveyor tracks can be considered as an independent module, which can be expanded or adjusted according to actual needs. The parallel arrangement of multiple first and second conveyor tracks allows for simultaneous testing of multiple batches of ice-making equipment, improving the production line's processing capacity and production efficiency. Through the parallel operation and cyclic movement mechanism of multiple tracks, the vacuum unit can achieve higher equipment throughput while reducing the risk of downtime due to a single fault, better adapting to the needs of modern large-scale production.

[0013] As an improvement, a first connecting rail and a second connecting rail are also included. One end of two adjacent first conveyor rails is connected by the first connecting rail, and the other end of the two adjacent first conveyor rails is connected by the second connecting rail. In this technical solution, the first connecting rail connects one end of two adjacent first conveyor rails. The main function of the first connecting rail is to transfer multiple ice-making devices to different first conveyor rails. Guided by the first connecting rail, multiple ice-making devices enter different first conveyor rails, improving the flexibility and efficiency of the vacuum unit and ensuring the continuous operation of the production line. The second connecting rail connects the other end of two adjacent first conveyor rails. The main function of the second connecting rail is to transfer and converge the ice-making devices on different first conveyor rails, so that multiple ice-making devices can enter the next process in sequence, facilitating unified processing in subsequent processes and improving the safety and flexibility of the entire vacuum unit.

[0014] As an improvement, the second conveying track is equipped with multiple blocking devices and control switches. The blocking devices are used to block the second moving seat, causing it to stop moving. The control switches are electrically connected to the blocking devices to control their opening and closing. In this technical solution, the blocking devices are installed on the second conveying track to block the second moving seat and stop its movement. Multiple blocking devices are arranged along the length of the second conveying track. Operators can control the opening and closing of the blocking devices through the control switches, allowing the second moving seat to stop at a designated position. This meets more production needs, provides greater flexibility, and is very useful when the vacuum device needs maintenance, inspection, or adjustment. The control switches can be designed as manual buttons, touch screen operation, or remote control via an automated control system. The blocking devices and control switches can be linked through a PLC or other automated control system to ensure that the second moving seat can be accurately stopped when needed.

[0015] As an improvement, the second movable seat is provided with a recessed portion adapted to the blocking device. The recessed portion contains a buffer pad, and the blocking device abuts against the buffer pad to stop the second movable seat from moving. In this technical solution, the recessed portion on the second movable seat primarily provides a stable contact point for the blocking device, ensuring that the blocking device can accurately contact the second movable seat and stop its movement. The buffer pad within the recess absorbs impact force, reduces mechanical impact damage to the equipment, and ensures the stability of the second movable seat when stopped. The buffer pad is typically made of elastic materials (such as rubber, polyurethane, etc.) or has a buffering function (such as a spring damper) to achieve a good buffering effect.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, this application discloses a vacuum unit for an ice-making equipment production line, including a first conveying track 1 and a second conveying track 2. Multiple first movable seats 3 are installed on the first conveying track 1, and the first movable seats 3 are used to install ice-making equipment and drive the ice-making equipment to move along the first conveying track 1. Multiple second movable seats 4 are installed on the second conveying track 2, and vacuum devices 5 are installed on the second movable seats 4. The second movable seats 4 are used to drive the vacuum devices 5 to move along the second conveying track 2. The first conveying track 1 is used to support the first movable seats 3 on which the ice-making equipment is installed, ensuring that the ice-making equipment can move along a predetermined path. The second conveying track 2 is used to support the second movable seats 4 on which the vacuum devices 5 are installed, ensuring that the vacuum devices 5 can move along a predetermined path and move synchronously with the ice-making equipment. The vacuum devices 5 are used to perform vacuuming operations on the refrigeration system of the ice-making equipment. The vacuum devices 5 and the refrigeration system of the ice-making equipment use a quick-connect and disconnect interface to reduce connection and disconnection time and improve production efficiency.

[0028] The second movable seat 4 moves synchronously with the corresponding first movable seat 3, so that the vacuum device 5 and the ice-making equipment complete the vacuuming process during synchronous movement. The vacuum unit can be equipped with an automated control system to ensure that the second movable seat 4 (vacuum device 5) and the first movable seat 3 (ice-making equipment) remain synchronized during movement. Traditional vacuuming methods require waiting for all ice-making equipment to be in place before starting the vacuuming operation. However, in this application, each ice-making equipment is equipped with an independent vacuum device 5. The vacuum device 5 includes a small vacuum pump, vacuum pipes, a vacuum gauge, and control valves. These components are integrated on the second movable seat 4 and can move synchronously with the ice-making equipment. The ice-making equipment moves to the preset vacuuming position via the first movable seat 3 and the first conveying track 1. When the ice-making equipment reaches the vacuuming position, the corresponding vacuum device 5... The quick-connect coupling connects to the refrigeration equipment to initiate the vacuuming operation. During the vacuuming process, the ice-making equipment and the vacuum device 5 move together via the first moving base 3 and the second moving base 4, ensuring that the vacuuming operation is completed during the movement. Once the ice-making equipment has completed the vacuuming, the vacuum device 5 automatically disconnects, and the refrigeration equipment continues to move to the next process. By setting up a synchronously movable vacuum device 5 and ice-making equipment, the vacuuming operation can be completed during the movement, greatly reducing waiting time, improving the utilization rate of the vacuum device 5, and reducing equipment idle time. The mobile vacuum device 5 can be flexibly arranged according to the actual needs of the production line, adapting to production lines of different scales and types. The number of vacuum devices 5 can be easily increased or decreased without large-scale modifications to the existing production line, thereby meeting more production needs and improving production efficiency.

[0029] More specifically, the synchronous movement control of the vacuum device 5 and the ice-making equipment can be achieved in at least two ways: First, the first conveying track 1 and the second conveying track 2 are linked. Through a mechanical or electrical control system, the movement speed and direction of the first conveying track 1 and the second conveying track 2 are kept consistent. The drive motors of the two conveying tracks are synchronously controlled by a PLC or other automated control system to ensure that the movement speed and position of the first moving seat 3 and the second moving seat 4 are perfectly matched. Second, the first moving seat 3 and the second moving seat 4 are linked. The first moving seat 3 and the second moving seat 4 are directly linked through a mechanical connection (such as a connecting rod, chain, etc.) or an electrical connection (such as a synchronous motor). Each moving seat can be controlled independently, but synchronous movement is maintained through a connecting device.

[0030] More specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first conveying track 1 and the second conveying track 2 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction. The first conveying track 1 and the second conveying track 2 are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction and on the same horizontal plane, so that the conveying direction of the first conveying track 1 and the second conveying track 2 is the same. This ensures that the ice-making equipment and the vacuum device 5 can move synchronously in the same direction, which facilitates vacuuming operations during movement, reduces the distance between equipment, and improves space utilization. This parallel track layout not only improves production efficiency but also optimizes space utilization, making the entire production line more compact and suitable for large-scale, high-precision ice-making equipment production lines.

[0031] More specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a third conveying track 6. The third conveying track 6 is used to transfer the second movable seat 4 located at the end of the second conveying track 2 to the starting point of the second conveying track 2, so that the second movable seat 4 drives the vacuum device 5 to move cyclically. The second conveying track 2 is long and narrow to ensure that the vacuum device 5 can complete the vacuuming operation during the movement. The end of the second conveying track 2 is the position of the vacuum device 5 after the vacuuming operation is completed. At this time, the vacuum device 5 needs to return to the starting point to perform the next round of operation. The main function of the third conveying track 6 is to transfer the second movable seat 4 located at the end of the second conveying track 2 back to the starting point of the second conveying track 2, realize the cyclic movement of the vacuum device 5, reduce the steps of manually retrieving the vacuum device 5, avoid the labor and time-consuming problems caused by manual operation, and enable the vacuum device 5 to quickly return to the starting point to prepare for the next round of vacuuming operation. This ensures that the production line can continuously perform vacuuming operations, improves production efficiency, and saves labor costs.

[0032] More specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the third conveyor track 6 and the second conveyor track 2 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction. The third conveyor track 6 is located above or below the second conveyor track 2, forming a vertical parallel relationship. After completing the vacuuming operation, the vacuum device 5 returns to the starting point of the second conveyor track 2 through the third conveyor track 6 to achieve recycling. The vertical parallel design makes the entire production line more compact in the vertical direction, which is suitable for large-scale production in a limited space environment. The vacuum device 5 can quickly return to the starting point to prepare for the next round of vacuuming operation, ensuring that the production line can continuously perform vacuuming operation and improving production efficiency.

[0033] More specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the end point of the second conveying track 2 and one end of the third conveying track 6 are connected by a first lifting device 7, so that the second movable seat 4 on the second conveying track 2 can be transferred to the third conveying track 6. The starting point of the second conveying track 2 and the other end of the third conveying track 6 are connected by a second lifting device 8, so that the second movable seat 4 on the third conveying track 6 can be transferred to the second conveying track 2. The first lifting device 7 is located between the end point of the second conveying track 2 and one end of the third conveying track 6, and is used to lift or lower the second movable seat 4, which has completed the vacuuming operation, from the second conveying track 2 to the third conveying track 6. The second lifting device 8 is located at the starting point of the second conveying track 2. Between the other end of the third conveyor track 6 and the third conveyor track 2, the second moving seat 4, which has completed the cycle, is raised or lowered from the third conveyor track 6 to the starting point of the second conveyor track 2. This ensures that the second moving seat 4 can be transferred smoothly and efficiently from the second conveyor track 2 to the third conveyor track 6, realizing the cyclic movement of the vacuum device 5. The automatic transfer of the second moving seat 4 is achieved through the first lifting device 7 and the second lifting device 8, reducing manual intervention and avoiding the labor-intensive and time-consuming problems caused by manual operation. The vertical transfer is achieved through the first lifting device 7 and the second lifting device 8, further optimizing the spatial layout, reducing the floor space occupied by the vacuum unit, and improving the overall efficiency of the production line.

[0034] More specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second conveying track 2 is equipped with multiple blocking devices 11 and control switches. The blocking devices 11 are used to block the second moving seat 4 to stop its movement. The control switches are electrically connected to the blocking devices 11 to control the opening and closing of the blocking devices 11. The blocking devices 11 are installed on the second conveying track 2 to block the second moving seat 4 and stop its movement. Multiple blocking devices 11 are arranged along the length of the second conveying track 2. The operator can control the opening and closing of the blocking devices 11 through the control switches, so that the second moving seat 4 can stop at a designated position, meeting more production needs and providing more flexible settings. This is very useful when the vacuum device 5 needs to be maintained, inspected, or adjusted. The control switches can be designed as manual buttons, touch screen operation, or remote control through an automated control system. The blocking devices 11 and control switches can be linked through a PLC or other automated control system to ensure that the second moving seat 4 can be accurately stopped when needed.

[0035] More specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the second movable seat 4 is provided with a recess 41 adapted to the blocking device 11. The recess 41 is provided with a buffer pad 42. The blocking device 11 abuts against the buffer pad 42 to stop the movement of the second movable seat 4. The main function of the recess 41 on the second movable seat 4 is to provide a stable contact point for the blocking device 11, ensuring that the blocking device 11 can accurately contact the second movable seat 4 and stop its movement. The buffer pad 42 is provided in the recess 41. The main function of the buffer pad 42 is to absorb the impact force, reduce the damage of mechanical impact to the equipment, and ensure the stability of the second movable seat 4 when it stops. The buffer pad 42 is usually made of elastic material (such as rubber, polyurethane, etc.) or a mechanical structure with buffering function (such as spring damper) to achieve a good buffering effect.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a vacuum unit for an ice-making equipment production line based on Embodiment 1. Its structure is the same as that of Embodiment 1. At least two first conveying tracks 1 are provided, and at least two second conveying tracks 2 are provided corresponding to the first conveying tracks 1. The first conveying tracks 1 and the second conveying tracks 2 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction. At least two first conveying tracks 1 are provided, each first conveying track 1 corresponds to one second conveying track 2, and each second conveying track 2 corresponds to one third conveying track 6. Each first conveying track 1 and its corresponding second conveying track 2 and third conveying track 6 can be regarded as an independent module, which can be expanded or adjusted according to actual needs. The parallel arrangement of multiple first conveying tracks 1 and second conveying tracks 2 allows for the simultaneous testing of multiple batches of ice-making equipment, improving the processing capacity and production efficiency of the production line. Through the parallel operation and cyclic movement mechanism of multiple tracks, the vacuum unit can achieve higher equipment throughput and reduce the risk of downtime due to a single failure, thus better adapting to the needs of modern large-scale production.

[0038] More specifically, it also includes a first connecting track 9 and a second connecting track 10. One end of two adjacent first conveying tracks 1 is connected by the first connecting track 9, and the other end of the two adjacent first conveying tracks 1 is connected by the second connecting track 10. The first connecting track 9 connects one end of two adjacent first conveying tracks 1. The main function of the first connecting track 9 is to transfer multiple ice-making devices to different first conveying tracks 1. Guided by the first connecting track 9, multiple ice-making devices enter different first conveying tracks 1, improving the flexibility and efficiency of the vacuum unit and ensuring that the production line can operate continuously. The second connecting track 10 connects the other end of two adjacent first conveying tracks 1. The main function of the second connecting track 10 is to transfer and gather ice-making devices from different first conveying tracks 1, so that multiple ice-making devices can enter the next process in sequence, facilitating unified processing of subsequent processes and improving the safety and flexibility of the entire vacuum unit.
