Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling equipment technology, specifically to an automatic telescopic material handling device for a water heater casing. Background Technology

[0002] Water heaters are common household appliances, and as people's quality of life improves, the demand for multifunctional and intelligent water heaters is increasing.

[0003] During the production of water heaters, components are typically welded onto the outer casing. To improve production efficiency, automated or semi-automated production methods are often employed. In this automated production process, the water heater casing needs to be handled at various stages. During handling, negative pressure adsorption is usually used to clamp and move the casing. However, in practical applications, it has been found that the separation between the water heater casing and the adsorption block is not smooth during negative pressure adsorption. This causes the water heater casing to shift slightly during placement when the clamping equipment is running at higher speeds, altering its orientation. This change in orientation can lead to unnecessary problems in subsequent production steps.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of handling equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes an automatic telescopic conveying device for water heater housings, which solves the problem that the housing posture is incorrect after separation due to the untimely separation of the water heater housing and the conveying device during the existing conveying process.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An automatic telescopic conveying device for a water heater shell, comprising:

[0007] Connecting bracket, attached to the external structure;

[0008] A driving element is disposed on the connecting frame and has a driving end;

[0009] A slide table is slidably mounted on the connecting frame and connected to the drive end;

[0010] An adsorption block is disposed on the slide and moves synchronously with the slide;

[0011] A separator is mounted on the slide and is elastic;

[0012] When the adsorption block adsorbs material, the separator is in a compressed and deformed state.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the separator includes a rod and an elastic head. The rod passes through the slide table, and the elastic head is located at the end of the rod and faces the adsorption direction of the adsorption block.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the slide is provided with a threaded hole, the outer edge of the rod is provided with a thread, the rod and the slide are threadedly connected, and the elastic head adjusts its own compressive elastic force by adjusting the rod.

[0015] As a further technical solution, there are two adsorption blocks and one separator located between the two adsorption blocks.

[0016] As a further technical solution, a transmission frame is also included, which is slidably mounted on the connecting frame, and the slide is located at the bottom end of the transmission frame.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the transmission frame and the driving component are located on the symmetrical side of the connecting frame.

[0018] As a further technical solution, a guide rail and a slider are also included. The guide rail is disposed on the transmission frame, and the slider is disposed on the connecting frame. The slider is slidably disposed on the guide rail.

[0019] As a further technical solution, the top of the connecting frame is provided with a mounting plate, and the connecting frame is fixed to the external structure in a detachable manner by means of the mounting plate.

[0020] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: An automatic telescopic conveying device for water heater housings includes a connecting frame, a driving component, a sliding table, an adsorption block, and a separator. The connecting frame is typically connected to an external structure (e.g., a robotic arm). The driving component is mounted on the connecting frame and has a driving end that can reciprocate in a linear direction. The sliding table is slidably mounted on the connecting frame and is connected to the driving end of the driving component. The driving component provides power for the movement of the sliding table and is typically selected as a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or electric push rod. The adsorption block is mounted on the sliding table and moves synchronously with the sliding table. The adsorption block has an adsorption cavity and adsorption holes. The adsorption holes connect to the adsorption cavity, and the adsorption cavity connects to an external negative pressure mechanism. When the adsorption block needs to adsorb... When a material (e.g., a water heater casing) is attached, the negative pressure mechanism is activated and provides negative pressure to the adsorption chamber, thereby adsorbing the material onto the surface of the adsorption block through the adsorption holes. The separator is set on the sliding table and is elastic. When the adsorption block adsorbs the material, the separator comes into contact with the surface of the material and is in a compressed deformation state. At this time, the separator has potential energy inside. When the adsorption block no longer adsorbs the material, the potential energy inside the separator is released, and the separator will give the material a certain pushing force, thereby causing the material to separate quickly from the adsorption block, preventing the material from changing its orientation as the adsorption block moves.

[0027] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes an automatic telescopic conveying device for a water heater housing, comprising:

[0029] Connector 1 is attached to the external structure;

[0030] Drive component 2 is mounted on connecting frame 1 and has a drive end;

[0031] The slide table 3 is slidably mounted on the connecting frame 1 and connected to the drive end;

[0032] The adsorption block 4 is set on the slide table 3 and moves synchronously with the slide table 3;

[0033] Separator 5 is mounted on slide 3 and is flexible;

[0034] When the adsorption block 4 adsorbs material, the separator 5 is in a state of compression and deformation.

[0035] In this embodiment, the automatic telescopic conveying device for a water heater casing includes a connecting frame 1, a driving component 2, a slide 3, an adsorption block 4, and a separator 5. The connecting frame 1 is typically connected to an external structure (e.g., a robotic arm). The driving component 2 is mounted on the connecting frame 1 and has a driving end that can reciprocate in a linear direction. The slide 3 is slidably mounted on the connecting frame 1 and is connected to the driving end of the driving component 2. The driving component 2 provides power for the movement of the slide 3 and is typically selected as a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or electric push rod. The adsorption block 4 is mounted on the slide 3 and moves synchronously with the slide 3. The adsorption block 4 has an adsorption cavity and adsorption holes. The adsorption holes communicate with the adsorption cavity, which in turn communicates with an external negative pressure mechanism. When the adsorption block 4 needs to... When adsorbing material (e.g., water heater casing), the negative pressure mechanism is activated and provides negative pressure to the adsorption cavity, thereby adsorbing the material onto the surface of the adsorption block 4 through the adsorption holes. The separator 5 is set on the slide table 3 and is elastic. When the adsorption block 4 adsorbs the material, the separator 5 comes into contact with the surface of the material and is in a compressed deformation state. At this time, the separator 5 has potential energy inside. When the adsorption block 4 no longer adsorbs the material, the potential energy inside the separator 5 is released, and the separator 5 will give the material a certain pushing force, thereby causing the material to separate quickly from the adsorption block 4, avoiding the material from changing its orientation as the adsorption block 4 moves.

[0036] It should be noted that the adsorption block has an adsorption surface, and adsorption holes are formed on the adsorption surface. There are multiple adsorption holes, which are evenly arranged.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes a separator 5 including a rod and an elastic head. The rod is mounted on the slide table 3, and the elastic head is located at the end of the rod and faces the adsorption direction of the adsorption block 4.

[0038] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the complexity and manufacturing cost of the entire device, the separator 5 includes a rod and an elastic head. The rod is mounted on the slide table 3, and the elastic head is located at the end of the rod and faces the adsorption direction of the adsorption block 4. With this structure, it is only necessary for the elastic head to be elastic, and there is no longer a requirement for the rod to be elastic.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes that the slide table 3 has a threaded hole, the outer edge of the rod is provided with a thread, the rod and the slide table 3 are connected by a thread, and the elastic head can adjust its own compression elastic force by adjusting the rod.

[0040] In this embodiment, in order to adjust the elastic coefficient of the elastic head and ensure that the elastic head always keeps in contact with the material, a threaded hole is opened on the slide table 3, and a thread is provided on the outer edge of the rod body. The rod body and the slide table 3 are connected by a thread. In this way, the position of the elastic head relative to the surface of the slide table 3 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the elastic head relative to the adsorption surface of the adsorption block 4, and finally realizing the adjustment of the elastic coefficient of the elastic head, avoiding the situation where the material is suddenly ejected.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes two adsorption blocks 4 and one separator 5 located between the two adsorption blocks 4.

[0042] In this embodiment, to improve the separation effect of the separator 5 on the material, two adsorption blocks 4 are used, and one separator 5 is used. The separator 5 is located between the two adsorption blocks 4. Since both adsorption blocks 4 must be in contact with the material, the force applied to the material by the separator 5 during separation will inevitably be near the center of the material, thus avoiding scratches between the material and the adsorption blocks 4 caused by the applied force being located at the edge of the material. The two adsorption blocks have identical structures and the same number of adsorption pores.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment also includes a transmission frame 6, which is slidably mounted on the connecting frame 1, and a slide table 3 is mounted at the bottom end of the transmission frame 6.

[0044] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the slide table 3 during movement, the automatic telescopic conveying device for the water heater housing also includes a transmission frame 6. The transmission frame 6 is slidably mounted on the connecting frame 1, and the slide table 3 is detachably mounted at the bottom of the transmission frame 6. This increases the contact area between the slide table 3 and the connecting frame 1, thereby improving the stability of the slide table 3 during sliding.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission frame 6 and the driving component 2 are located on the symmetrical side of the connecting frame 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the stability of the slide table 3 during movement, the transmission frame 6 and the drive component 2 are arranged on the symmetrical side of the connecting frame 1. This allows the center of gravity of the automatic telescopic conveying equipment to be located near the center, thereby improving the stability during movement.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment also includes a guide rail 7 and a slider 8. The guide rail 7 is mounted on the transmission frame 6, and the slider 8 is mounted on the connecting frame 1. The slider 8 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 7.

[0048] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability and smoothness of the slide table 3 during movement, the automatic telescopic conveying device for the water heater housing also includes a guide rail 7 and a slider 8. The slider 8 is mounted on the connecting frame 1, and the guide rail 7 is mounted on the transmission frame 6. The slider 8 slides on the guide rail 7. The combination of the slider 8 and the guide rail 7 increases the movement guidance of the transmission frame 6 relative to the connecting frame 1, thereby improving the stability of the relative movement between the two.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the connecting frame 1 is provided with a mounting plate 9, and the connecting frame 1 is fixed to the external structure in a detachable manner by means of the mounting plate 9.

[0050] In this embodiment, since the connecting frame 1 needs to be installed and fixed to the external structure, a mounting plate 9 is provided at the top of the connecting frame 1. The mounting plate 9 has mounting holes, so that the mounting plate 9 can be fixed to the external structure in a detachable manner.

[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
