[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical concept claimed by the present invention. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, a liquid reservoir shell spinning machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 100, an output spindle 200 mounted on the frame 100, a chuck 300 mounted at the output end of the output spindle 200 for holding the cylinder, an air nozzle 400 mounted in the chuck 300 for ejecting the cylinder, a spinning cutting assembly 500 mounted on the frame 100 for spinning the cylinder, and an adjustment assembly 600 mounted on the frame 100. In fact, the frame 100, output spindle 200, and chuck 300 are common components of lathes, capable of clamping the cylinder and rotating it, providing the basic working conditions for rotary cutting the end of the cylinder extending out of the chuck 300 into the end cap of a liquid reservoir; the jet nozzle 400 is connected to an external compressed gas supply component through a rotary joint, enabling it to spray gas onto the cylinder clamped on the chuck 300, thus making it easier for the cylinder to detach from the chuck 300; the rotary cutting assembly 500 may include a dual-axis translation stage and a spinning component and a cutting tool mounted on the dual-axis translation stage. The dual-axis translation stage drives the spinning component and the cutting tool to move and contact the rotating cylinder, realizing the rotary cutting of one end of the cylinder.
[0036] The adjustment assembly 600 includes a support frame 610 for supporting the cylinder, a rotating component 620 for driving the support frame 610 to rotate horizontally back and forth by 180 degrees, a first lifting component 630 mounted on the frame 100 for driving the rotating component 620 to move up and down, and a pushing component 640 mounted on the frame 100 for pushing the cylinder on the support frame 610 into the chuck 300. The support frame 610 is provided with a support groove 611 whose axis of rotation coincides with the axis of rotation of the output spindle 200 and is used to contact the outer side of the cylinder. In practice, after the cylinder is placed horizontally on the tool support groove 611, the axis of the cylinder can coincide with the axis of the support groove 611 and the rotation axis of the output spindle 200, which can achieve the positioning of the cylinder. The pushing component 640 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, lead screw and nut pair, gear and rack mechanism, etc., which works with the push plate and one end of the cylinder to push the cylinder into the open chuck 300. The rotating component 620 can be a rotary cylinder, rotary motor, translation mechanism and connecting rod swing mechanism, etc., which can drive the support frame 610 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the cylinder rotates 180 degrees, providing conditions for processing the other end of the cylinder. The first lifting component 630 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, single-axis translation table, etc., which can drive the support frame 610 to move up and down, which facilitates pushing the cylinder into the chuck 300 or avoids the support frame 610 from affecting the rotary component to perform rotary cutting on the cylinder.
[0037] The specific principle of the liquid storage tank shell spinning machine of this utility model is as follows: The cylinder is placed in the support groove 611 on the support frame 610. The pushing component 640 contacts one end of the cylinder and pushes the other end of the cylinder into the chuck 300 and away from the support frame 610. The chuck 300 clamps the outside of the cylinder, and the first lifting component 630 drives the support frame 610 upward. The output spindle 200 and the rotary cutting assembly 500 rotate and process one end of the cylinder. After processing, the output spindle stops working, the rotary cutting assembly 500 resets, and the first lifting component 630 drives the support frame 610 upward to its initial position. The chuck 300 opens, and the jet nozzle 400 ejects compressed air. The gas pushes the cylinder onto the support groove 611 on the support frame 610; the rotating component 620 drives the support frame 610 to rotate 180 degrees, causing the cylinder to rotate 180 degrees and the positions of the two ends to be interchanged; the pushing component 640 moves to contact the other end of the cylinder and pushes one end of the cylinder into the chuck 300 and pushes it away from the support frame 610; the chuck 300 clamps the outside of the cylinder, and the first lifting component 630 drives the support frame 610 to move upward; the output spindle 200 and the rotary cutting component 500 move to perform rotary processing on the other end of the cylinder; after processing is completed, the output spindle stops working, the rotary cutting component 500 resets, and the jet nozzle 400 sprays compressed gas to push the cylinder out to complete the processing of both ends of the cylinder.
[0038] The liquid storage tank shell spinning machine of this utility model, through the cooperation of the frame 100, output spindle 200, chuck 300, air nozzle 400, spinning cutting assembly 500, support frame 610, rotating component 620, first lifting component 630 and pushing component 640, can automatically adjust the swing direction of the cylinder to rotate the cylinder 180 degrees, realize the processing of both ends of the cylinder, and eliminate the need for manual repetitive positioning, clamping and adjustment, thereby improving the processing efficiency of liquid storage tank shells.
[0039] Specifically, the support groove 611 is preferably a V-shaped groove, which contacts the outer side of the cylinder at two positions on both sides to prevent the cylinder from rolling back and forth on the V-shaped groove and leaving the support groove 611.
[0040] More specifically, the support frame 610 preferably has a first baffle 612 extending towards the support opening and with a height greater than the outer diameter of the cylinder. The first baffle 612 has a connecting frame 613 fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating component 620. When the cylinder enters the support groove 611 in a rolling manner, the first baffle 612 prevents the cylinder from continuing to roll away from the support groove 611 due to inertia. At the same time, the connecting frame 613 provides an entry point for the cylinder to enter and leave the support frame 610, ensuring that the cylinder leaves smoothly.
[0041] It should be noted that the liquid reservoir shell spinning machine of this utility model preferably includes a feeding rack 700 mounted on the frame 100 and located in front of the support frame 610. The feeding rack 700 is provided with a guide groove 710 inclined downwards from back to front for guiding the cylinder into the support groove 611. After the cylinder is placed in the guide groove 710, it is guided onto the support frame 610 by the downward-inclined guide groove 710, realizing the rolling of the cylinder for guiding. Furthermore, the feeding rack 700 preferably has a second baffle 720 for abutting against the cylinder and a second lifting component 730 for driving the second baffle 720 to move up and down at the discharge port of the guide groove 710. In practice, the second lifting component 730 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, single-axis translation stage, etc., capable of driving the second baffle 720 to move up and down. When the output spindle 200, chuck 300, and rotary cutting assembly 500 are processing a cylinder, the second lifting component 730 drives the baffle to move down, preventing the cylinder in the guide groove 710 from continuing to roll away from the guide groove 710, thus preventing the next cylinder from entering the support frame 610. After the previous cylinder has finished processing and left, the second lifting component 730 drives the baffle to move up, allowing the cylinder in the guide groove 710 to continue to roll away from the guide groove 710, ensuring consistent processing one by one. In practical applications, this utility model can add sensors and control components and other related supporting components to the existing structure. The sensors monitor the device's operating status and cylinder position parameters in real time and feed the monitoring data back to the control components. The control unit implements precise automatic control of the feeding function unit and the second lifting unit 730 according to the preset control logic and algorithm, so that they move according to the predetermined program. This can effectively ensure that the present invention has a high degree of automation in actual operation and reduce the need for manual intervention.
[0042] It should be noted that the liquid reservoir shell spinning machine of this utility model preferably includes a receiving frame 800 located in front of the support frame 610 and below the loading frame 700, and a moving component 900 mounted on the frame 100 for moving the receiving frame 800 below the support frame 610. Specifically, the moving component 900 can adopt various suitable mechanical structures such as a translation mechanism or a swing mechanism. After the cylinder is processed, the moving component 900 can accurately and smoothly move the receiving frame 800 to a position directly below the support frame 610. Subsequently, the cylinder detaches from the chuck 300 and falls smoothly onto the receiving frame 800. The moving component 900 continues to move, driving the receiving frame 800 to move outward, thereby realizing the unloading operation of the cylinder. This makes the unloading process of the cylinder more convenient and efficient, effectively improving the continuity and automation of the overall production process. Furthermore, the receiving rack 800 is preferably provided with a discharge groove 810 arranged from front to back downward, so that the cylinder rolls away from the receiving rack 800 under the action of the discharge groove 810.
[0043] Specifically, the pushing component 640 preferably includes a pushing arm 641 for moving the cylinder to the left and a pushing cylinder 642 mounted on the frame 100 for moving the pushing arm 641 left and right. In fact, by moving the pushing arm 641 left and right through the pushing cylinder 642, the part contacts the end of the cylinder and is pushed into the chuck 300.
[0044] More specifically, the pusher arm 641 is preferably slidably connected to the frame 100. The pusher component 640 also includes connecting springs 643 at its left and right ends, which are respectively connected to the pusher arm 641 and the output end of the pusher cylinder 642. When the output end of the pusher cylinder 642 performs reciprocating linear motion, the pusher cylinder 642 drives the pusher arm 641 to slide left and right through the connecting springs 643. The connecting springs 643 can play a buffering role during the pusher process. When the pusher arm 641 is subjected to the impact of the cylinder stopping or external interference, the connecting springs 643 can absorb some energy through their own elastic deformation, reducing the rigid impact between the pusher arm 641 and the frame 100, thereby reducing the wear of the mechanical structure and improving the service life and operational stability of the equipment.
[0045] Specifically, the rotary cutting assembly 500 preferably includes an XY worktable 510 mounted on the frame 100, a spinning wheel 520 rotatably connected to the XY worktable 510 and used for spinning the outer side of the cylinder, and a cutting tool 530 mounted on the XY worktable 510 and used for cutting the cylinder. In practice, the XY worktable 510, the spinning wheel 520, and the cutting tool 530 cooperate to spin the cylinder relative to it and then cut the cylinder end, thus achieving rotary cutting of the cylinder end.
[0046] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
