For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, a side-swivel door opening mechanism for a pickling cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, a loading and unloading port at one end of the cabinet body, a door body 2 installed at the loading and unloading port, a swing arm 32 rotatably provided on the top of the cabinet body, a connecting shaft 33 connected to one end of the swing arm, the connecting shaft connected to the door body 2, and the door body rotating relative to the swing arm.
[0023] The distance between the rotation axis of the swing arm and the rotation axis of the door is greater than the distance between the rotation axis of the swing arm and at least one side of the end of the cabinet with the loading and unloading port, so that the door can be rotated to one side of the cabinet.
[0024] In this embodiment, during the door opening operation, the swing arm rotates, and the door rotates around the rotation axis of the swing arm. At the same time, the door rotates on its own axis, allowing the door to move to one side of the cabinet, reducing the occupation of the working space at the cabinet loading and unloading port, and improving loading and unloading efficiency.
[0025] In this embodiment, the swing arm is rotatably mounted on the cabinet via a pivot 31, which is located on the side of the cabinet closest to the pivot, and the pivot of the door is located in the middle of the door's width.
[0026] When the door is rotated to one side of the cabinet and close to the side wall of the cabinet, the distance between the rotation axis of the door and the loading and unloading port of the door is greater than the distance between the rotation axis of the door and the end of the door corresponding to the loading and unloading port position. This allows the door to be completely rotated to one side of the cabinet when opened, without occupying the working space of the loading and unloading port.
[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the hinge is positioned near the left side of the cabinet, making it easier for the door to open and close from the left side. However, depending on specific needs, the hinge and swing arm can also be positioned near the right side of the cabinet, making it easier for the door to open and close from the right side.
[0028] In this embodiment, the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the swing arm. The top of the connecting shaft extends out of the top of the swing arm and is threaded with an upper adjusting nut 34. The bottom of the connecting shaft extends out of the bottom of the swing arm and is threaded with a lower adjusting nut. By adjusting the relative positions of the upper and lower adjusting nuts on the connecting shaft, the height of the door can be adjusted.
[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the connecting shaft is connected to a left-right adjustment mechanism, which is used to adjust the left and right positions of the door.
[0030] Specifically, the left and right adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment plate 35 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting shaft. The adjustment plate is provided with adjustment holes 36 on both sides of the connecting shaft, and the length direction of the adjustment holes extends along the width direction of the door.
[0031] The top of the door is equipped with a fixing plate 37, which has two through holes. The positions of the two through holes correspond to the positions of the two adjustment holes. Adjusting bolts 38 are connected through the corresponding adjustment holes and through holes. One adjustment bolt has a left adjusting nut, and the other adjustment bolt has a right adjusting nut. The nuts of the adjusting bolts abut against the fixing plate, and the left and right adjusting nuts abut against the adjusting plate. Specifically, the through holes only need to allow the adjusting bolts to pass through. In practice, the through holes can also be set to be elongated, extending in the same direction as the length of the adjustment holes, so as to obtain a larger adjustment range.
[0032] Loosen the left and right adjusting nuts, then adjust the left and right positions of the door. After adjustment, tighten the left and right adjusting nuts to secure the fixing plate connected to the door to the adjusting plate.
[0033] In this embodiment, a locking rod 42 is hinged to the edge of the cabinet, and a locking nut 43 is threaded to the other end of the locking rod. The locking nut is fixedly connected to a turning ring 44, and a locking notch 24 for accommodating the locking rod is provided on the edge of the door.
[0034] In this embodiment, the door is provided with an insulation board 23 and handles 22 on both sides of the door for easy opening and closing. When opening the door, pull the handles 22 outward, and the door will rotate along the rotation axis of the swing arm. At the same time, the door can rotate along the connecting shaft to move the door to one side of the cabinet and move the door as far back as possible so that it does not occupy the working space of the cabinet loading and unloading port. When closing the door, pull the door in the opposite direction, and the door will move in the opposite direction to the position of the cabinet loading and unloading port.
[0035] Specifically, the cabinet is provided with several sets of mounting plates 41, each set of mounting plates includes two oppositely arranged mounting plates, the mounting plates are connected to the cabinet through connecting plates 11, and the mounting plates are connected to the locking rod through pins; the door is provided with a reinforcing groove plate 21 corresponding to the locking notch position, which strengthens the edge of the door.
[0036] After closing the door, rotate the locking rod by turning the ring to make it enter the locking notch. Then turn the ring to make the locking nut abut against the reinforcing groove plate. Repeat this process for multiple locking rods until the door is installed on the loading and unloading port of the cabinet. To open the door, turn the ring in reverse order to disengage the locking nut from the reinforcing groove plate. Then pull the locking rod out of the locking notch until all locking rods are unlocked. Then pull the handle to open the door until the door is completely moved to one side of the cabinet for easy loading and unloading.
[0037] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
