Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air compressor production technology, specifically to a suction cup for lifting air compressor storage tanks. Background Technology

[0002] An air compressor is a device used to compress gas. Air compressors are similar in construction to water pumps. Most air compressors are reciprocating piston type, rotary vane type, or rotary screw type.

[0003] During the production of air compressor air tanks, a semi-circular suction cup holder is used to adhere to the surface of the air tank for suction and lifting, transferring the air tank from one workstation to another for production. However, the diameter of the air tanks varies, resulting in poor adaptability of the suction cup holder. Therefore, we propose an air compressor air tank lifting suction cup to solve this technical defect. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a suction cup for lifting air compressor storage tanks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a suction cup for lifting an air compressor storage tank, comprising a mounting plate for connecting to the guide rail slide of an electric lifting guide rail, a hydraulic push rod 1 at the lower end of the mounting plate, a loading seat at the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 1, a pair of upper suction cups connected to the lower end of the loading seat, hydraulic push rod 2 on both the front and rear sides of the loading seat, a movable seat at the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 2, a hydraulic push rod 3 at the upper end of the movable seat, a hollow seat at the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 3, a pair of side suction cups symmetrically connected to the opposite sides of the hollow seat, and a connection between the movable seat and the hollow seat;

[0006] The loading platform is equipped with an exhaust and degassing assembly.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate is installed at the guide rail slide of the electric guide rail, thereby driving the mounting plate to move through the electric guide rail. This moves the loading seat above the air tank at the workstation. In conjunction with the operation of hydraulic push rod one, the loading seat is moved, causing the upper suction cup to adhere to the upper surface of the air tank. Simultaneously, according to the diameter of the air tank, hydraulic push rod three is activated to move the suction cup on the hollow seat downwards, and hydraulic push rod two moves the moving seat and suction cup laterally, changing the distance between the suction cups. This allows the suction cups to adhere to the opposite sides of the air tank. Furthermore, the suction and exhaust assembly is used to achieve the adsorption, adhesion, and separation of the suction cups and the air tank, thereby enabling adjustable adsorption and transfer according to air tanks of different diameters.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a pair of telescopic rods are connected between the loading seat and the movable seat.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic rod provides telescopic support for the moving seat, thereby achieving stability in the movement of the moving seat.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the movable seat and the hollow seat are connected by a flexible hose.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, the flexible hose enables airflow between the movable seat and the hollow seat.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of mounting holes at equal intervals in a ring.

[0013] Using the above technical solution, the mounting holes are designed to facilitate the fastening bolts passing through the mounting holes, allowing the mounting plate to be installed and fixed on the guide rail slide of the electric guide rail.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the exhaust assembly includes an exhaust pump and an exhaust pump located at the upper end of the loading seat. An exhaust pipe is connected between the exhaust port of the exhaust pump and the loading seat, and an exhaust pipe is connected between the exhaust port of the exhaust pump and the loading seat.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, an air extraction pump draws air out, and by utilizing the interconnection between the air extraction pump, extraction pipe, loading seat, telescopic rod, movable seat, hose, upper suction cup, hollow seat, and side suction cup, the air between the upper suction cup and side suction cup and the air compressor's air tank is extracted, thus achieving the adsorption and fixation of the upper suction cup and side suction cup on the air compressor's air tank. An exhaust pump then discharges air, and by utilizing the interconnection between the air extraction pump, extraction pipe, loading seat, telescopic rod, movable seat, hose, upper suction cup, hollow seat, and side suction cup, the upper suction cup and side suction cup are separated from the air compressor's air tank.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the telescopic rod is composed of several hollow sleeves that slide and connect with each other in a stepped manner. The hollow sleeves are sealed and fitted together and do not separate from each other. The two outermost hollow sleeves are respectively connected to the loading seat and the moving seat.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic rod can be extended and retracted, and airflow can be achieved.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This air compressor storage tank lifting suction cup works by mounting a plate on a guide rail slide of an electric guide rail. The electric guide rail drives the plate to move, moving the loading seat above the storage tank at the workstation. A hydraulic push rod then moves the loading seat, causing the upper suction cup to adhere to the upper surface of the storage tank. Simultaneously, depending on the diameter of the storage tank, a hydraulic push rod three moves the suction cup on the hollow seat downwards, and a hydraulic push rod two moves the moving seat and suction cup laterally, changing the distance between the suction cups. This allows the suction cups to adhere to the opposite sides of the storage tank. Furthermore, the suction and degassing assembly enables the suction cups to adhere to and separate from the storage tank. Compared to existing technologies, this allows for adjustable suction and transport based on storage tank diameters. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The air compressor storage tank hoisting suction cup in this embodiment mainly includes components such as mounting plate 1, hydraulic push rod 1 2, loading seat 3, upper suction cup 4, hydraulic push rod 2 5, moving seat 6, hydraulic push rod 3 7, hollow seat 8, side suction cup 9, hose 10, telescopic rod 11, air pump 12, air extraction pipe 13, exhaust pump 14, and exhaust pipe 15.

[0026] The mounting plate 1 is circular, with multiple mounting holes evenly spaced around it. These mounting holes facilitate the passage of fastening bolts, allowing the mounting plate 1 to be securely mounted and fixed on the guide rail slide of the electric guide rail. This enables the entire lifting suction cup to move horizontally with the help of the electric guide rail.

[0027] A hydraulic push rod 2 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate 1. The push rod of the hydraulic push rod 2 is set vertically downward, and a loading seat 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the push rod. The loading seat 3 is cuboid in shape, and a pair of upper suction cups 4 are connected to its lower end. The upper suction cups 4 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides and are hemispherical in shape, used to fit the upper surface of the gas storage tank.

[0028] Hydraulic push rods 2 and 5 are fixedly installed on the front and rear surfaces of the loading seat 3. The push rods of the hydraulic push rods 2 and 5 are set horizontally, and the push rods of the two hydraulic push rods 2 and 5 face opposite directions. The end of the push rod of each hydraulic push rod 2 and 5 is fixedly connected to a movable seat 6, which is a cuboid structure.

[0029] Each movable seat 6 has a hydraulic push rod 7 fixedly installed on its upper surface. The push rod of the hydraulic push rod 7 is set vertically upward, and a hollow seat 8 is fixedly connected to its end. The hollow seat 8 is cuboid in shape, and a pair of side suction cups 9 are symmetrically connected to its opposite sides. The side suction cups 9 are also hemispherical and are used to fit the side of the gas storage tank.

[0030] The movable seat 6 and the hollow seat 8 are connected by a flexible hose 10. The flexible hose 10 has a certain degree of flexibility, which enables the connection and ventilation between the movable seat 6 and the hollow seat 8, and does not affect the up and down movement of the hollow seat 8 driven by the hydraulic push rod 7.

[0031] A pair of telescopic rods 11 connect the loading seat 3 and the moving seat 6. The telescopic rods 11 are composed of several hollow sleeves that slide and connect with each other in a stepped manner. The hollow sleeves are sealed and fit together and do not separate from each other. The two outermost hollow sleeves are connected to the loading seat 3 and the moving seat 6 respectively. This structure allows the telescopic rods 11 to extend and retract to adapt to the movement of the moving seat 6, while ensuring the flow of air. At the same time, it provides telescopic support for the moving seat 6 and enhances the stability of the movement of the moving seat 6.

[0032] The loading seat 3 is equipped with an exhaust assembly, which includes an exhaust pump 12 and an exhaust pump 14 fixed to the upper surface of the loading seat 3. An exhaust pipe 13 is connected between the exhaust port of the exhaust pump 12 and the loading seat 3, and an exhaust pipe 15 is connected between the exhaust port of the exhaust pump 14 and the loading seat 3. Through the operation of the exhaust pump 12 and the exhaust pump 14, in conjunction with the exhaust pipe 13 and the exhaust pipe 15, the adsorption, fixation and separation between the upper suction cup 4 and the side suction cup 9 and the air compressor storage tank can be achieved.

[0033] Mounting plate 1: Made of high-strength aluminum alloy, it is lightweight and high-strength, capable of withstanding certain loads while reducing the overall weight of the lifting suction cup, facilitating electric guide rail drive.

[0034] Hydraulic push rod 1 (2), hydraulic push rod 2 (5), hydraulic push rod 3 (7): The push rod part is made of high-strength alloy steel to ensure that it has sufficient strength and rigidity and can withstand large thrust and pull forces; the cylinder part is made of high-quality cast iron material, which has good sealing and wear resistance.

[0035] Loading seat 3, moving seat 6, and hollow seat 8 are all made of stainless steel, which has the advantages of corrosion resistance and high strength, and can adapt to different working environments, ensuring the stability of the structure and service life.

[0036] Upper suction cup 4 and side suction cup 9: Made of high-quality rubber material, the rubber has good flexibility and sealing properties, and can fit tightly to the surface of the gas tank to form a good adsorption effect.

[0037] Hose 10: A rubber hose is selected, which has a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity, and can maintain communication when the movable seat 6 and the hollow seat 8 move relative to each other, and is not easy to break.

[0038] The hollow sleeve of telescopic rod 11 is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and high-strength, and its surface is specially treated to have good wear resistance and sealing performance.

[0039] Vacuum pump 12 and exhaust pump 14: These are small vacuum pumps with fast suction speed and high exhaust efficiency, which can meet the needs of rapid adsorption and separation of the upper suction cup 4 and the side suction cup 9.

[0040] This air compressor's air tank lifting suction cup is equipped with a programmable logic controller (PLC) that has functions such as logic operation, timing, and counting. It can precisely control each hydraulic push rod and exhaust / exhaust assembly according to a preset program.

[0041] Usage steps,

[0042] Installation: Use fastening bolts to pass through the mounting holes on mounting plate 1 and securely install mounting plate 1 onto the guide rail slide of the electric guide rail.

[0043] Positioning: The mounting plate 1 is moved by the electric guide rail, so that the loading seat 3 is moved directly above the gas tank on the work station.

[0044] Initial adsorption: Activate hydraulic push rod 2 to extend it downwards, pushing the loading seat 3 downwards so that the upper suction cup 4 adheres to the upper surface of the gas storage tank.

[0045] Adjust the position of the side suction cup: According to the diameter of the gas tank, activate hydraulic push rod 3 7 to extend its push rod downward, driving the hollow seat 8 and the side suction cup 9 to move downward; at the same time, activate hydraulic push rod 2 5 to extend or retract its push rod horizontally, driving the moving seat 6 and the side suction cup 9 to move laterally, changing the distance between the side suction cups 9, so that the side suction cup 9 fits against the opposite side of the gas tank.

[0046] Adsorption and fixation: Start the air pump 12. The air pump 12 extracts the air from the loading seat 3 through the air extraction pipe 13. Since the loading seat 3 is interconnected with the upper suction cup 4, telescopic rod 11, moving seat 6, hose 10, hollow seat 8 and side suction cup 9, the air between the upper suction cup 4 and the side suction cup 9 and the air compressor storage tank is extracted, forming a negative pressure, so as to achieve the adsorption and fixation of the air compressor storage tank by the upper suction cup 4 and the side suction cup 9.

[0047] Lifting and Transfer: The installation plate 1 is moved by the electric guide rail to transfer the adsorption and fixed gas storage tank from one workstation to another.

[0048] Separation and Release: After reaching the target work station, start the exhaust pump 14. The exhaust pump 14 exhausts the air into the loading seat 3 through the exhaust pipe 15, so that the pressure between the upper suction cup 4 and the side suction cup 9 and the air compressor storage tank returns to normal, thereby separating the upper suction cup 4 and the side suction cup 9 from the air compressor storage tank and completing the hoisting and transfer of the storage tank.

[0049] Structural scheme principle

[0050] The working principle of the air compressor's air tank lifting suction cup is based on the principle of negative pressure adsorption. The air pump 12 extracts the air between the upper suction cup 4 and the side suction cup 9 and the air tank, creating a negative pressure inside the suction cup, thereby generating an adsorption force to firmly adsorb the air tank. The exhaust pump 14 is used to exhaust air into the suction cup to eliminate the negative pressure and separate the air tank from the suction cup.

[0051] Meanwhile, through the coordinated work of hydraulic push rod 1 2, hydraulic push rod 2 5 and hydraulic push rod 3 7, the positions of the upper suction cup 4 and the side suction cup 9 can be adjusted to adapt to air tanks of different diameters, improving the adaptability and versatility of the lifting suction cups. The design of the telescopic rod 11 and the hose 10 ensures the flexibility of communication and relative movement between the various components, ensuring the normal operation of the system.

[0052] In summary, this air compressor air tank lifting suction cup has the advantages of reasonable structure, convenient operation, and strong adaptability. It can effectively solve the problem of poor adaptability of suction cup seats in the existing technology and improve the production efficiency and quality of air compressor air tanks.

[0053] All electrical components mentioned in the text are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional and known device such as a computer, and the existing publicly available power connection technology will not be elaborated in the text.

[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
