Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ball valve structure design technology, and is an intelligent loading mechanism for automatic detection of liquid flashover. Background Technology

[0002] Nuclear radiation, typically involving the emission of different types of particles or electromagnetic waves such as alpha, beta, and gamma rays, is a ubiquitous and multifaceted natural phenomenon. Alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays each possess unique properties due to their respective penetrating power, charge state, and energy level, with gamma rays exhibiting the strongest penetrating power and energy. Given this context, the development and application of nuclear radiation monitoring technology has become crucial for ensuring the safety of humanity and the environment.

[0003] For liquid detection, a scintillation reagent is generally added to the liquid to be tested, and then the liquid with the scintillation reagent is placed in a detection device to detect the intensity of radioactivity. The scintillation reagent reacts with the radioactive substances in the liquid to be tested to become scintillator molecules. After receiving energy, the scintillator molecules emit fluorescent photons. The detection device mainly determines the intensity and magnitude of radioactivity in the liquid to be tested by detecting the pulse signal of photoelectrons through the conversion and multiplication of fluorescent photons.

[0004] Currently, the acquisition and placement of sampling bottles are done manually before sampling and testing the liquid to be tested. This involves a large number of samples, and the sampling bottles must be acquired within a specified time.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention proposes an intelligent loading mechanism for automatic detection of liquid flashover. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a simple and ingeniously designed intelligent filling mechanism for automatic liquid flash detection, which solves the problem of obtaining the correct sampling bottle.

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an intelligent filling mechanism for automatic liquid flash detection, comprising: a funnel chamber, a transfer clamp, a transfer platform, and a bottle-picking arm;

[0008] The funnel chamber is sealed at the top and has an opening at the front. The bottom of the funnel chamber is arc-shaped. The bottom outlet of the funnel chamber is provided with a bottle outlet with a diameter that can only accommodate one sampling bottle to leak out.

[0009] A transfer clamp is provided below the funnel chamber, and multiple clamps are arranged around the bottle outlet of the funnel chamber.

[0010] A transfer platform is provided on the lower right side of the funnel chamber. After the transfer clamp picks up the sampling bottle, it is placed into the transfer platform on the right side.

[0011] The bottle-retrieving arm is located on the upper right side of the transfer platform, and the sampling arm is fixed behind the intelligent filling mechanism; the sampling arm retrieves the sampling bottle from the transfer platform.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes waste bottle collectors;

[0013] The waste bottle collector has a long pipe placed directly below the outlet of the funnel chamber, and a cuboid placed below the long pipe with an opening at the top.

[0014] Furthermore, the transfer clamp is provided with multiple clamping bodies, with a clamp-shaped clamp at the rear and a clamping plate at the front;

[0015] The clamp is designed to partially enclose the outside of the bottle opening, and a position sensor is installed on the clamp.

[0016] Furthermore, a timing switch is provided in the bottle outlet.

[0017] Furthermore, the transfer platform includes a platform, a mounting base, and a bottling device;

[0018] The platform is fixed to the right side of the bottle outlet of the funnel chamber; a fixing seat is provided at the front and rear of the platform to fix the platform to a pair of corresponding front and rear support columns of the intelligent filling mechanism.

[0019] The bottling device is located in the middle of the platform. The bottling device is cylindrical, with the cylinder diameter > the sampling bottle diameter > the bottle cap diameter.

[0020] Furthermore, the sampling arm includes a fixed back plate, a lifting cylinder, a drive motor, and a gripper.

[0021] The fixed back plate is installed on the right side of the intelligent loading mechanism, and a lifting cylinder is provided in front of the fixed back plate; a drive motor is installed on the lifting cylinder, and a gripper is installed on the left side of the drive motor.

[0022] Furthermore, the gripper is equipped with an outer diameter sensor, and the gripper can rotate 360°.

[0023] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0024] (1) Fully automated, improving detection efficiency;

[0025] This utility model adopts a mechanized design, which completes repetitive tasks by machine, reducing the workload of workers. Full automation can complete the bottling of sample bottles without human intervention, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0026] (2) Ensure the sampling bottle is intact and placed upright;

[0027] This utility model's bottle placement mechanism ensures the quality and correct placement of the sampling bottles, facilitating subsequent operations and simplifying unnecessary erroneous operations. For liquid testing, this utility model requires ensuring that the liquid's mass remains constant within the sampling bottle, meaning no overflow occurs after liquid addition. Properly placing the sampling bottle facilitates correct subsequent operations.

[0028] (3) Bottles can be dispensed at the specified time;

[0029] This invention incorporates a timing switch within the bottle-dispensing mechanism to ensure that each sampling bottle is dispensed individually before transportation and that it can dispense bottles again after a specified time period. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0034] It should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "left" and "right" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship that the product of this invention is usually placed in during use, or the orientation or positional relationship that is commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Such terms are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0035] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0036] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the intelligent filling mechanism for automatic liquid flash detection proposed in this embodiment includes: a funnel chamber 1, a transfer clamp 2, a transfer platform 3, and a bottle-retrieving arm 4;

[0037] The funnel chamber 1 is sealed at the top and has an opening at the front. The bottom of the funnel chamber 1 is arc-shaped. The bottom outlet of the funnel chamber 1 is provided with a bottle outlet 11, the diameter of which can only accommodate the leakage of one sampling bottle.

[0038] The upper part of the funnel chamber 1 is a square cavity, and the lower part is a semi-circle, so as to accommodate a sufficient number of sampling bottles. The bottom of the funnel chamber 11 is equipped with an outlet bottle, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the diameter of the sampling bottle, and the diameter of the sampling bottle is larger than the diameter of the cap. (For example, if the diameter of the sampling bottle is 3cm, then the diameter of the outlet bottle should be: 3.5cm < diameter of the outlet bottle ≤ 4.5cm; diameter of the cap = 2cm.)

[0039] Below the funnel chamber 1, there is a transfer clamp 2. The transfer clamp 2 has multiple clamps around the bottle outlet of the funnel chamber 1. The transfer clamp 2 quickly closes and clamps the sampling bottle after it falls out of the bottle outlet 11.

[0040] A transfer platform 3 is provided on the lower right side of the funnel chamber 1. After the transfer clamp 2 picks up the sampling bottle, it is placed into the transfer platform 3 on the right side. The bottle picking arm 4 is located on the upper right side of the transfer platform 3. The sampling arm 4 is fixed behind the intelligent filling mechanism. The sampling arm 4 picks up the sampling bottle from the transfer platform 3.

[0041] During operation, a large number of sampling bottles are first placed into the bottle placement mechanism 1 through the top opening. The funnel chamber 1 sends out a sampling bottle to the outlet 11, the transfer clamp 2 clamps the sampling bottle, moves to the right to place the sampling bottle into the transfer platform 3, and the bottle lifting arm 4 clamps the sampling bottle from the transfer platform 3 and sends the sampling bottle into the sample preparation mechanism; the complete filling process of one sampling bottle is completed.

[0042] The large number of sampling bottles placed in advance cannot guarantee that every sampling bottle will be qualified. Therefore, as shown in the figure, a waste bottle collector 5 is also included. A long tube is placed directly below the outlet of the funnel chamber 1, and a cuboid is placed below the long tube with an opening at the top. The waste bottle collector is placed directly below the outlet of the funnel chamber 1; the waste bottle collector 5 is equipped with a long tube that extends directly below the outlet of the funnel chamber 11; below the long tube is an open square container for collecting unqualified sampling bottles.

[0043] The transfer clamp 2 has multiple clamps, with a clamp-shaped clamp 21 at the rear and a clamping plate 22 at the front; the clamping plate 22 is set to semi-enclose the outside of the bottle opening, and a position sensor is provided on the clamping plate 4.

[0044] A timing switch is installed in the bottle outlet 11. To ensure that the sampling bottles are dropped one by one, after one sampling bottle is completed, it is necessary to wait 30 minutes before the bottle outlet 11 is reopened to send in the next sampling bottle for transportation.

[0045] When the sampling bottle in funnel 1 falls, three situations may occur: a. sampling bottle without cap; b. sampling bottle with cap on top; c. sampling bottle with cap on the bottom. If situation a occurs, the sampling bottle is unqualified and is a waste bottle; if situation b occurs, the sampling bottle is square and correct; if situation c occurs, the sampling bottle is placed upside down and will be corrected through subsequent operations.

[0046] When the sampling bottle falls, the transfer clamp 2 detects a straight line segment through the position sensor on the clamp plate, which is judged as case a. When case a is judged as case a, the switch of the bottle outlet 11 does not wait for 30 minutes, but waits for the clamp 21 of the transfer clamp 2 to be released so that the waste bottle can fall freely from the long tube of the waste bottle collector 5 to the square container below. When the transfer clamp 2 enters the empty state, it is immediately opened so that the next sampling bottle can fall and the transfer clamp 2 can collect the sampling bottle again. When the clamp plate 22 of the transfer clamp 2 measures a concave-convex line segment or a convex-concave line segment, it controls the clamp to place the sampling bottle on the transfer platform 2.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the transfer platform 3 includes a platform 31, a mounting base 32, and a bottler 33;

[0048] Platform 31 is fixed to the right side of the bottle outlet of funnel chamber 1; a fixing seat 32 is provided at the front and rear of platform 31 to fix platform 2 on a pair of corresponding front and rear support columns of intelligent filling mechanism; bottle 33 is set in the middle of platform, bottle 33 is cylindrical, cylinder diameter > sampling bottle diameter > bottle cap diameter, bottle cap height = total height of sampling bottle - cylinder height.

[0049] During operation, the transfer platform 3 receives the sampling bottle placed by the transfer clamp 2 and puts it into the bottling unit. The sampling bottle is only exposed at the height of the cap in the bottling unit, which makes it easy for the sampling arm 4 to grasp and judge it.

[0050] The sampling arm 4 grips the sampling bottle, only gripping the part of the sampling bottle that is exposed above the bottler 33, to determine whether the sampling bottle is currently in situation b or situation c.

[0051] The sampling arm 4 includes a fixed back plate 41, a lifting cylinder 42, a drive motor 43, and a gripper 44. The fixed back plate 41 is installed on the right side of the intelligent filling mechanism, and the lifting cylinder is located in front of the fixed back plate 41. The drive motor 43 is installed on the lifting cylinder 42, and the gripper 44 is installed on the left side of the drive motor 43. The gripper 44 is equipped with an outer diameter sensor and can rotate 360°.

[0052] During operation, the bottle-retrieving arm 4 is driven by the drive motor 43, which, through a steering structure, moves the gripper 44 downwards to the front of the transfer platform 2 to pick up the sampling bottle, gripping the upper part of the bottle. The gripper 44 is equipped with an outer diameter sensor, which determines the current diameter of the bottle being gripped (sampling diameter = sampling bottle diameter = 3cm or sampling diameter = bottle cap diameter = 2cm). This determines whether the sampling bottle is b (i.e., the bottle cap is on top, sampling diameter = 3cm) or c (i.e., the bottle cap is on the bottom, sampling diameter = 2cm). When it is b (bottle cap on top), the bottle-retrieving arm 4 directly places the sampling bottle into the sample preparation mechanism; when it is c (bottle cap on the bottom), after gripping, the bottle-retrieving arm 4 moves upwards a certain distance, the sampling clamp rotates 360° in the air while holding the sampling bottle, and then places it into the sample preparation mechanism for sampling and testing.

[0053] The above embodiments only illustrate preferred implementation methods, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
