Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal can pouring technology, specifically to an auxiliary pouring device for metal cans. Background Technology
[0002] Metal cans are containers made primarily of metal materials (such as tinplate, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc.) through processes such as stamping, stretching, welding, and rolling. During factory production, some metal cans are filled with products, water, or other materials, requiring manual lifting and emptying into a sieve for cleaning. However, manually performing these steps is labor-intensive and prone to fatigue. Furthermore, it poses safety risks; if the force applied is unstable or the can slips, it may fall, injuring personnel or damaging materials. Inefficiency is also a concern, as the speed of manual emptying is limited by physical strength, resulting in uneven emptying volumes that are difficult to adapt to the demands of large-scale production. Additionally, the residual material remains after rinsing, requiring multiple lifting and emptying operations. Therefore, an auxiliary emptying device is needed to address these drawbacks and improve efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary pouring device for metal cans, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To solve the above technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0004] This utility model is an auxiliary pouring device for metal cans, comprising:
[0005] The system includes a base, a water outlet control component, an angle adjustment component, a flipping component, and a receiving basin. The water outlet control component is threadedly fixed to one corner of the upper end of the base. The receiving basin is fixed to the upper end of the base near the center, with one end of the receiving basin directly opposite the water outlet control component. The angle adjustment component is threadedly fixed near the water outlet control component. The flipping component is located inside the angle adjustment component.
[0006] Furthermore, the water outlet control component includes a water supply pipe threadedly fixed to one corner of the upper end of the base, and one end of the water supply pipe is connected to a conveying pipe, and one end of the conveying pipe is connected to an adjustable corrugated flushing pipe, which is directly above the receiving basin.
[0007] Furthermore, the other end of the water supply pipe is connected to the output end of the water supply pump, and a mounting plate is fixed on one side of the outer surface of the water supply pipe, with a solenoid valve passing through the middle of the mounting plate and extending into the water supply pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, the angle adjustment assembly includes a support plate, which is threadedly fixed to the upper end of the base near the solenoid valve, and a bracket is fixed to the upper part of the support plate near one corner, with a proximity switch passing through the middle of the bracket.
[0009] Furthermore, a limiting post and a limiting block are fixed to the two sides of the bracket respectively, and a limiting plate is fixed to the middle of the outer side of the support plate, with the two sides of the limiting plate respectively abutting against the limiting post and the limiting block.
[0010] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a ratchet and a pawl. The ratchet engages with a bearing located on the upper inner side of the support plate, and the pawl is fixed to one side of the eccentric wheel, with the pawl and the tooth groove of the ratchet abutting against each other.
[0011] Furthermore, the flipping assembly also includes a connecting frame, a connecting plate, and a flipping frame. One end of the connecting frame is fixed to the middle of one side of the ratchet, and the other end of the connecting frame is fixed to the outside of the connecting plate. The flipping frame is fastened to the inner side of the connecting plate, and docking holes are provided on the upper part of opposite sides of the outer surface of the flipping frame.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This invention utilizes a tilting frame to receive metal cans to be unloaded. The angle of the metal cans can be mechanically adjusted via a handrail, thus mechanizing the unloading process and reducing the intensity of manual dumping. This improves unloading efficiency. During angle adjustment, a proximity switch activates a solenoid valve to actively discharge water after rotating to a certain angle, cleaning the inside of the metal can and further reducing manual labor and increasing efficiency. Simultaneously, the unidirectional movement of the ratchet and pawl during tilting ensures structural stability, preventing the metal cans from slipping and protecting both the tilting frame and the operator. Furthermore, the contact between the limiting plate, limiting post, and limiting block limits the tilting range, preventing excessive rotation. This ensures successful unloading while conserving electricity, offering ease of use and meeting specific needs. Attached Figure Description

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.
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model is an auxiliary pouring device for metal cans, comprising:
[0023] The base 41, water outlet control component, angle adjustment component, flip component, and receiving basin 51 are provided. The water outlet control component is threadedly fixed to one corner of the upper end of the base 41. The receiving basin 51 is fixed at the upper end of the base 41 near the middle, and the receiving basin 51 is directly opposite one end of the water outlet control component. The angle adjustment component is threadedly fixed near the water outlet control component. The flip component is located inside the angle adjustment component.
[0024] The base 41 provides a structural foundation installation environment. The water outlet control component can autonomously control the water outlet to meet the cleaning needs of the inner wall of the metal tank after unloading, reducing the intensity of subsequent manual cleaning. The flipping component is limited to receiving the metal tank to be unloaded. The angle adjustment component applies force to complete the mechanical unloading of the metal tank. The receiving basin 51 receives the cleaning water, which can be reused for secondary water resources.
[0025] The water outlet control assembly includes a water supply pipe 11 that is threadedly fixed to one corner of the upper end of the base 41, and one end of the water supply pipe 11 is connected to a delivery pipe 14, and one end of the delivery pipe 14 is connected to an adjustable corrugated flushing pipe 15, which is directly above the receiving basin 51.
[0026] The water supply pipe 11 receives the water delivered by the water supply pump, and discharges it through the delivery pipe 14 and the adjustable corrugated flushing pipe 15, and acts on the inner wall of the metal tank after the material is poured, thus completing the cleaning of the inner wall of the metal tank.
[0027] The other end of the water supply pipe 11 is connected to the output end of the water supply pump, and a mounting plate 12 is fixed on one side of the outer surface of the water supply pipe 11. A solenoid valve 13 passes through the middle of the mounting plate 12 and extends into the water supply pipe 11.
[0028] The mounting plate 12 connects the solenoid valve 13 to the water supply pipe 11, and the solenoid valve 13 opens and closes the water supply pipe 11.
[0029] The angle adjustment assembly includes a support plate 21, which is threadedly fixed to the upper end of the base 41 near the solenoid valve 13. A bracket 22 is fixed to the upper part of the support plate 21 near one corner, and a proximity switch 23 is connected through the middle of the bracket 22.
[0030] The support plate 21 provides a basic installation environment for the angle adjustment component. The bracket 22 is used to install and fix the proximity switch 23. During the angle adjustment process of the flip frame 35, the proximity switch 23 can be used to activate the solenoid valve 13 to actively open after flipping to a certain angle to supply water for cleaning. The proximity switch 23 can be selected as PRFD-K.
[0031] Limiting posts 25 and limiting blocks 24 are fixed to the two sides of the bracket 22 respectively, and a limiting plate 26 is fixed to the middle of the outer side of the support plate 21, with the two sides of the limiting plate 26 respectively abutting against the limiting posts 25 and the limiting blocks 24.
[0032] The limiting post 25 and the limiting block 24 are staggered and, through their contact with the limiting plate 26, the range of the rotation angle of the proximity switch 23 can be limited, avoiding excessive rotation and unnecessary waste of electricity.
[0033] The flipping assembly includes a ratchet 31 and a pawl 32. The ratchet 31 is fitted with a bearing provided on the upper inner side of the support plate 21. The pawl 32 is fixed to one side of the eccentric wheel, and the pawl 32 and the tooth groove of the ratchet 31 abut against each other.
[0034] The pawl 32 pushes the ratchet 31 in one direction to satisfy the pouring process of the metal can, and the collision between the two ensures the structural stability of the metal can.
[0035] The flipping assembly also includes a connecting frame 33, a connecting plate 34, and a flipping frame 35. One end of the connecting frame 33 is fixed to the middle of one side of the ratchet 31, and the other end of the connecting frame 33 is fixed to the outside of the connecting plate 34. The flipping frame 35 is fastened to the inner side of the connecting plate 34, and the upper part of the outer surface of the flipping frame 35 on both sides is provided with mating hole blocks 36. A handrail is fixed to one side of the bottom end of the flipping frame 35.
[0036] The connecting frame 33 transmits the adjustment force mentioned above, and the flipping frame 35 is installed through the connecting plate 34. The flipping frame 35 is used to initially position the metal can to be poured, and then the secondary fixing is completed by the mating hole block 36 and the locking bolt.
[0037] Working principle: When emptying the metal can, the metal can is placed in the tilting frame 35 beforehand, and the opening on the metal can is aligned with the opening on the docking block 36. Then, bolts are installed into the threads of the opening to complete the secondary fixation. At this time, the tilting frame 35 is rotated by the handrail and the ratchet 32 pushes the ratchet 31, realizing the emptying of the metal can. During the angle adjustment of the tilting frame 35, the proximity switch 23 rotates through the gap between itself and the limit plate 26. After rotating to the set angle, the external control terminal receives the data signal and opens the solenoid valve 13. That is, the water source delivered by the external water pump can be sprayed out through the water supply pipe 11, the delivery pipe 14, and the adjustable corrugated flushing pipe 15, and then act on the inner wall of the metal can to complete the cleaning. The cleaned water is collected by the receiving basin 51 below. At the same time, the rotation range can be limited by the contact between the limit post 25, the limit block 24 and the limit plate 26.
[0038] This solution allows for mechanical adjustment of the metal can's angle, mechanizing the unloading process and reducing manual labor intensity, thus improving unloading efficiency. During angle adjustment, the proximity switch 23 and external control unit activate the solenoid valve 13 to actively discharge water after rotating to a certain angle, cleaning the inside of the metal can and further reducing manual labor intensity and improving efficiency. Simultaneously, the unidirectional movement of the ratchet 31 and pawl 32 during the tilting process ensures the stability of the tilting frame 35, preventing the metal can from slipping and protecting both the frame and the operator. Furthermore, the contact between the limiting plate 26, the limiting post 25, and the limiting block 24 limits the tilting range, preventing excessive rotation and ensuring successful unloading while conserving power, making it convenient and meeting all requirements.
