Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tank assembly machines, and specifically relates to a vertical tank assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] As a pressure vessel for storing and transporting liquefied petroleum gas, the integrity and safety of the structure of a gas cylinder are directly related to the life and property safety of users and public safety. A gas cylinder consists of two main components: the cylinder body and the end caps. During the production process of a gas cylinder, the gaps between the two parts need to be welded together.

[0003] During assembly, due to the lack of fixed constraints, the gas cylinder's head and body are positioned solely by manual support. When the operator's vision is impaired, the two are prone to relative displacement. This unstable assembly state leads to deviations in the docking position of the body and head, resulting in low assembly efficiency and significantly affecting the quality of subsequent welding processes. Inaccurate assembly positions can cause problems such as inconsistent weld width and excessive misalignment, reducing the overall structural strength of the gas cylinder and posing serious safety hazards.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a vertical tank assembly machine to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model relates to a vertical tank assembly machine, comprising a base, a support frame fixedly mounted on the top of the base, support platforms symmetrically fixedly mounted on the top of the base, a bearing frame fixedly mounted on the top of the base and between the two support platforms, a tank fixing mechanism mounted on each of the two support platforms, a pushing mechanism mounted on the top of the base, a guide mechanism mounted on one end of each support platform, a traveling mechanism engaged with the guide mechanism, a moving mechanism mounted on the traveling mechanism, and a head gripping mechanism mounted at the bottom of the moving mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, both of the cylinder fixing mechanisms include a first cylinder, and the two first cylinders are respectively fixedly installed on the top of the two support platforms.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the two first cylinder telescopic ends is fixedly equipped with a sliding block, and the two sliding blocks are respectively slidably mounted on the two support platforms.

[0010] Furthermore, a cylindrical semicircular clamping plate is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two sliding blocks that are close to each other, and the top of the inner ring of each of the two cylindrical semicircular clamping plates is inclined.

[0011] Furthermore, the ejection mechanism includes a second cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the base, and a sliding plate is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the second cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the skateboard is slidably mounted on the base, and two push plates and two anti-tipping plates are fixedly mounted on the top of the skateboard.

[0013] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism includes a gear rack and two first slide rails, all of which are fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame. The traveling mechanism includes a connecting frame, which is slidably mounted on the two first slide rails. A drive motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting frame, and a traveling gear is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor. The traveling gear meshes with the gear rack.

[0014] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a third cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the connecting frame. A moving plate is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the third cylinder, and the moving plate is slidably mounted on the connecting frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the end cap gripping mechanism includes a first connecting plate, which is fixedly mounted on the movable plate. A fourth cylinder is symmetrically mounted on the top of the first connecting plate, and a second connecting plate is slidably mounted on the first connecting plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the telescopic ends of the two fourth cylinders are fixedly mounted on the second connecting plate, and the bottom of both the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are fixedly mounted with end cap semicircular clamping plates.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] Following a command from the control system, the moving mechanism is activated. This mechanism drives the head-grabbing mechanism downwards, which in turn moves the clamped head downwards until it fits onto the cylinder. At this point, the control system issues a command to stop the moving mechanism, thus completing the assembly between the head and the cylinder. Furthermore, two cylinder fixing mechanisms simultaneously fix both sides of the cylinder, working in conjunction with the positioning and placement of the head-grabbing mechanism. This solves the problem of relative displacement of components caused by manual operation errors or unstable fixing in traditional assembly methods.

[0019] This utility model's control system issues commands to activate the traveling mechanism, moving mechanism, and end cap gripping mechanism, respectively, to return to the gripping position and grip a new end cap. After the end cap and cylinder are assembled, the cylinder fixing mechanism will also move away from each other and return to its initial position to release the cylinder. Subsequently, the control system issues commands to activate the ejection mechanism, which will move towards the cylinder and end cap, and then push the cylinder towards the next process, thus moving it out of the assembly position. From cylinder fixing, end cap gripping and transportation, to the push of the assembled components, the entire process requires no frequent manual intervention or adjustment, significantly shortening the assembly time of a single gas cylinder. Compared with the traditional manual assembly method, this equipment can achieve several times the capacity increase, effectively improving the production efficiency of enterprises.

[0020] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements 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 the utility model.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, this utility model is a vertical tank assembly machine, including a base 1, a support frame 2 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, support platforms 3 symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a bearing frame 4 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1 and located between the two support platforms 3, a cylinder fixing mechanism 5 installed on each of the two support platforms 3, a pushing mechanism 6 installed on the top of the base 1, a guide mechanism 7 installed at one end of the support platform 3, a traveling mechanism 8 engaged on the guide mechanism 7, a moving mechanism 9 installed on the traveling mechanism 8, and a head gripping mechanism 10 installed at the bottom of the moving mechanism 9.

[0034] First, the cylinder is placed on the support frame 4 on the base 1. Then, the control system issues a command to activate the cylinder fixing mechanisms 5 on each of the two support platforms 3, which move synchronously towards the cylinder. After the two cylinder fixing mechanisms 5 contact the cylinder, they fix both sides of the cylinder to prevent it from sliding during assembly. At this time, the end cap gripping mechanism 10 is clamping and fixing the end cap at both ends. Then, the control system issues a command to activate the traveling mechanism 8 on the support frame 2 to rotate. Since the traveling mechanism 8 is engaged with the guide mechanism 7, the traveling mechanism 8 guides the cylinder... Under the action of mechanism 7, the end cap moves towards the cylinder along guide mechanism 7. Traveling mechanism 8 carries moving mechanism 9, end cap gripping mechanism 10, and the end cap along with it. The end cap then reaches directly above the cylinder. At this point, the control system issues a command to stop traveling mechanism 8. Immediately afterwards, the control system issues a command to start moving mechanism 9. Moving mechanism 9 drives end cap gripping mechanism 10 downwards. End cap gripping mechanism 10 then drives the gripped end cap downwards until the end cap is fitted onto the cylinder. At this point, the control system issues a command to stop moving mechanism 9, thus completing the connection between the end cap and the cylinder. The assembly process involves two cylinder fixing mechanisms 5 simultaneously fixing both sides of the cylinder, in conjunction with the positioning and placement of the end cap gripping mechanism 10. This solves the problem of relative displacement of components caused by manual operation errors or unstable fixing in traditional assembly methods. Subsequently, the control system issues a command to start the end cap gripping mechanism 10, causing one end of the end cap gripping mechanism 10 to move away from the other end, and then release the end cap. Afterward, the control system issues commands to start the traveling mechanism 8, the moving mechanism 9, and the end cap gripping mechanism 10 to move back to the gripping position, gripping the new end cap, and assembling the end cap. After the cylinder is assembled, the cylinder fixing mechanism 5 will move away from each other and return to its initial position to release the cylinder. Then, the control system issues a command to start the ejection mechanism 6. The ejection mechanism 6 will move towards the cylinder and the end cap, and then push the cylinder towards the next process, thus moving it out of the assembly station. From cylinder fixing, end cap grabbing and transportation, to the component push after assembly, the entire process does not require frequent manual intervention and adjustment, which greatly shortens the assembly time of a single gas cylinder. Compared with the traditional manual assembly method, this equipment can achieve several times the capacity increase and effectively improve the production efficiency of enterprises.

[0035] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned cylinder fixing mechanism 5, both cylinder fixing mechanisms 5 include a first cylinder 501, and the two first cylinders 501 are respectively fixedly installed on the top of the two support platforms 3.

[0036] Each of the two first cylinders 501 has a sliding block 502 fixedly installed at its telescopic end, and the two sliding blocks 502 are respectively slidably installed on the two support platforms 3.

[0037] Both of the two sliding blocks 502 are fixedly installed with a cylindrical semicircular clamping plate 503 at their close ends, and the top of the inner ring of both cylindrical semicircular clamping plates 503 is inclined.

[0038] When it is necessary to fix the cylinder, the control system issues a command, and the first cylinder 501 (model of the first cylinder 501 is ISO15552) fixedly installed on the top of the two support platforms 3 is started synchronously. The telescopic ends of the two first cylinders 501 begin to extend, driving the sliding blocks 502 fixedly installed on them to slide along the sliding track of their respective support platforms 3. During the sliding process, the two sliding blocks 502 push the cylinder semi-circular clamping plates 503 on them to move closer to the cylinder at the same speed. As the first cylinders 501 continue to extend, the two cylinder semi-circular clamping plates 503 gradually tightly wrap the cylinder, and firmly clamp the cylinder from both sides.

[0039] In one embodiment, the ejection mechanism 6 includes a second cylinder 601, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, and a slide plate 602 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the second cylinder 601.

[0040] The slide plate 602 is slidably mounted on the base 1, and two push plates 603 and two anti-tipping plates 604 are fixedly mounted on the top of the slide plate 602.

[0041] After the assembly of the gas cylinder body and end cap is completed, the second cylinder 601 (model: CA2-63Z), which is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, begins to extend its telescopic end upon receiving the start command from the control system. The telescopic action of the second cylinder 601 directly drives the sliding plate 602 fixedly installed on its telescopic end. The sliding plate 602 slides along the sliding track on the base 1. During the sliding process, the two push plates 603 and two anti-tipping plates 604 fixedly installed on the sliding plate 602 move synchronously. The push plates 603 push... The assembled cylinder and end cap cylinder move, pushing the cylinder towards the next process. At this time, the anti-tipping plate 604 is located on both sides of the cylinder. During the pushing process, the anti-tipping plate 604 can effectively limit the cylinder from tilting to the left and right, preventing the cylinder from tipping over or deviating during the pushing process. After pushing the cylinder to the next process, the control system then issues a command, and the telescopic end of the second cylinder 601 begins to retract, driving the slide plate 602, push plate 603 and anti-tipping plate 604 back to the initial position, preparing for the next pushing operation.

[0042] In one embodiment, the guide mechanism 7 includes a rack 701 and two first slide rails 702, which are all fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 2. The traveling mechanism 8 includes a connecting frame 801, which is slidably mounted on the two first slide rails 702. A drive motor 802 is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting frame 801, and a traveling gear 803 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 802. The traveling gear 803 meshes with the rack 701.

[0043] The moving mechanism 9 includes a third cylinder 901, which is fixedly mounted on the connecting frame 801. A moving plate 902 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the third cylinder 901, and the moving plate 902 is slidably mounted on the connecting frame 801.

[0044] The end cap gripping mechanism 10 includes a first connecting plate 1001, which is fixedly installed on the moving plate 902. A fourth cylinder 1002 is symmetrically installed on the top of the first connecting plate 1001, and a second connecting plate 1003 is slidably installed on the first connecting plate 1001.

[0045] The telescopic ends of the two fourth cylinders 1002 are fixedly installed on the second connecting plate 1003, and the bottom of the first connecting plate 1001 and the second connecting plate 1003 are both fixedly installed with end cap semi-circular clamping plates 1004.

[0046] Two first slide rails 702 are fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 2, and the gear rack 701 is also fixed on the top of the support frame 2. The connecting frame 801 is slidably installed on the two first slide rails 702. When it is necessary to transport the end cap to the top of the cylinder, the control system issues a command to start the drive motor 802 (drive motor 802 model: HG-KR73B). The travel gear 803 at its output end starts to rotate. Since the travel gear 803 meshes with the gear rack 701, the travel gear 803 rolls along the gear rack 701, driving the connecting frame 801 to slide smoothly on the first slide rails 702. Then the connecting frame 801 will drive the moving plate 902, the first connecting plate 1001, the fourth cylinder 1002, the second connecting plate 1003, the two end cap semicircular clamping plates 1004, and the end cap fixed by the two end cap semicircular clamping plates 1004 to move. Then the end cap will move to the top of the cylinder.

[0047] Immediately afterwards, the third cylinder 901 (model of the third cylinder 901 is ISO15552) fixedly installed on the connecting frame 801 receives the control system command, and its telescopic end extends, driving the movable plate 902 fixedly installed on the telescopic end to slide down along the sliding track on the connecting frame 801, thereby moving the first connecting plate 1001 fixed on the movable plate 902 downward. Then, the first connecting plate 1001, along with the fourth cylinder 1002, the second connecting plate 1003, the two end cap semicircular clamping plates 1004, and the end cap fixed by the two end cap semicircular clamping plates 1004, moves downward, so that the end cap gradually approaches the cylinder. Then, the end cap is fitted onto the cylinder. The top of the inner ring of the cylinder semicircular clamping plate 503 is inclined. During the downward movement of the end cap, this inclined setting can guide the end cap to fit better onto the outer contour of the cylinder.

[0048] During the gripping phase, the first connecting plate 1001 is fixed to the moving plate 902. The control system issues a command, and the fourth cylinder 1002 (model MA20X50) symmetrically mounted on it is activated, retracting its telescopic end. This causes the second connecting plate 1003, which is fixedly connected to it, to slide on the first connecting plate 1001. As the second connecting plate 1003 slides, the end cap semicircular clamping plate 1004 at the bottom of the first connecting plate 1001 and the second connecting plate 1003 gradually approaches until it tightly wraps around and clamps the end cap. At this time, the fourth cylinder 1002 remains retracted. In the initial state, the end cap is firmly clamped. After the end cap is transported to the top of the cylinder and assembled, the telescopic end of the fourth cylinder 1002 extends, causing the second connecting plate 1003 to slide on the first connecting plate 1001, so that the two end cap semicircular clamping plates 1004 gradually move away from each other, releasing the end cap. Subsequently, the control system issues a command, and the two third cylinders 901 retract, driving the moving plate 902 and the end cap back to the initial position. The drive motor 802 reverses, causing the connecting frame 801 to drive the two end cap semicircular clamping plates 1004 back to the initial gripping position, ready for the next end cap gripping and assembly operation.

[0049] Working principle: After the operator places the cylinder on the support frame 4 of the base 1, the control system issues a command to start the two first cylinders 501 on the two support platforms 3 to extend synchronously, which drives the sliding block 502 to slide along the support platform 3, thereby pushing the semi-circular clamping plate 503 of the cylinder to move closer to the cylinder from both sides, and finally tightly wrapping the cylinder to achieve a stable clamping of the cylinder.

[0050] Immediately afterwards, the control system commands the fourth cylinder 1002 to retract, causing the second connecting plate 1003 to slide on the first connecting plate 1001, so that the end cap semicircular clamping plate 1004 at the bottom of the first connecting plate 1001 and the second connecting plate 1003 moves closer to each other, thereby clamping the end cap. Subsequently, the control system starts the drive motor 802 to work. The travel gear 803 at its output end, because it meshes with the gear rack 701, will roll along the gear rack 701, causing the connecting frame 801 to slide on the two first slide rails 702, thereby moving the entire moving mechanism 9, the entire end cap gripping mechanism 10, and the clamped end cap together until the end cap reaches directly above the cylinder, at which point the drive motor 802 stops working.

[0051] Once the end cap is positioned directly above the cylinder, the control system commands the third cylinder 901 to extend, causing the moving plate 902 to slide downwards on the connecting frame 801. This causes the clamped end cap to move downwards synchronously. After the end cap is fitted into the cylinder, the third cylinder 901 stops working, completing the assembly of the end cap and the cylinder. Then, the fourth cylinder 1002 extends, causing the second connecting plate 1003 to slide, displacing the two end cap semicircular clamping plates 1004 from each other and releasing the end cap. Subsequently, the moving mechanism 9 and the traveling mechanism 8 operate sequentially, causing the end cap gripping mechanism 10 to return to its initial gripping position, ready to grip a new end cap.

[0052] After assembly, the first cylinder 501 of the cylinder fixing mechanism 5 retracts, causing the sliding block 502 and the cylinder semi-circular clamping plate 503 to reset, releasing the sealed cylinder. The control system then instructs the second cylinder 601 to extend, causing the slide plate 602 to slide along the base 1. The push plate 603 on the slide plate 602 pushes the assembled cylinder and end cap to the next process. After pushing, the second cylinder 601 retracts, causing the slide plate 602, push plate 603 and anti-tipping plate 604 to reset, preparing for the next pushing.
