Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer device technology, and in particular to an instrument and meter transport device. Background Technology

[0002] Instruments and meters are tools or equipment used to detect, measure, observe, and calculate various physical quantities, material composition, physical property parameters, etc. Generally, there are many types of instruments and meters, among which dial indicators are widely used. A dial indicator is a length measuring instrument that converts general linear displacement (linear motion) into the rotational motion of a pointer through gears or levers, and then reads the value on the scale.

[0003] After being manufactured in the factory, dial indicators need to be transferred to other workshops for subsequent packaging and other production processes. Currently, the transfer is usually carried out using a trolley and a storage box. The dial indicators are stacked in the storage box, and then the storage box is placed on the trolley and pushed away. However, dial indicators are precision instruments with telescopic parts at the front end. Stacking them up can easily damage the front end, which does not meet production standards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose an instrument transport device to solve the problem that the current stacking method of dial indicator transport devices is prone to damage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an instrument and meter transportation device.

[0006] An instrument transport device includes a trolley, an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, a feeding seat, and a dial indicator body. The outer cylinder is fixed to the upper part of the trolley, and the inner cylinder is coaxially rotatably disposed inside the outer cylinder. A stepper motor is installed on the outer wall of one end of the outer cylinder to drive the inner cylinder to rotate. The inner cylinder has multiple placement slots equidistantly spaced around its outer wall, and multiple slots equidistantly spaced on the bottom wall of the placement slots. The dial indicator body can be inserted into the slots. Each placement slot is equipped with a clamping and limiting component. The upper and lower sides of the outer cylinder have inlet and outlet ports, which are adapted to the placement slots. The feeding seat is movably disposed at the lower part of the outer cylinder and aligned with the outlet port. After the feeding seat moves upward, it can feed the dial indicator body into the placement slot.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping and limiting assembly includes multiple sliding rods. The inner cylinder has arc-shaped sliding grooves near multiple placement slots. The multiple sliding rods are slidably disposed in the multiple arc-shaped sliding grooves. Multiple arc-shaped limiting pins are fixed at equal intervals on one side of each sliding rod, and the other end of each arc-shaped limiting pin extends into the placement slot. After the arc-shaped limiting pins extend into the placement slot, they can clamp and limit the dial indicator body. A spring is fixed on the side of the sliding rod away from the arc-shaped limiting pins, and the other end of the spring abuts against the inner wall of one side of the arc-shaped sliding groove.

[0008] Furthermore, both ends of the arc-shaped chute are provided with arc-shaped grooves, and the arc-shaped grooves pass through the outer wall of the inner cylinder. Both ends of the slide rod are fixed with connectors, and the connectors pass through the arc-shaped grooves. Both ends of the outer cylinder have rotatable blocks near the feed inlet, and torsion springs are installed at the rotatable connection between the blocks and the outer cylinder. When the inner cylinder rotates, multiple connectors can alternately contact the blocks. The spring force is less than the torsion force of the torsion spring.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper part of the trolley is movably provided with a lifting chamber, one end of which is an open structure. The unloading seat is slidably disposed in the lifting chamber. The upper part of the unloading seat has multiple unloading slots equidistantly opened, and the multiple unloading slots are correspondingly arranged with multiple slots in the placement slot. One end of the upper part of the trolley is fixed with a hinge seat, and a rotating rod is rotatably disposed on the hinge seat. One end of the rotating rod is rotatably disposed with a roller, which contacts the bottom of the lifting chamber.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper part of the trolley is fixed with multiple support sleeves, and each support sleeve is slidably provided with a support column at its upper end. The lifting chamber is fixed to the upper end of the multiple support columns.

[0011] Furthermore, both ends of one side of the lifting chamber are fixed with release rods, and the release rods can be moved upwards to squeeze the corresponding connectors to move.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of guide columns are fixed to the inner wall of one end of the lifting chamber, and the other end of each guide column is slidably inserted into the unloading seat.

[0013] Furthermore, magnets are fixed to the inner wall of one side of the lifting chamber and the outer wall of one end of the unloading seat, and the two magnets are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0014] Furthermore, both sides of the outer wall of the outer cylinder are slidably provided with arc-shaped cover plates, and multiple connecting rings are connected between the two arc-shaped cover plates. The two arc-shaped cover plates are used to cover the inlet and outlet respectively. Furthermore, both sides of the upper part of the trolley are fixed with brackets, and the upper ends of the brackets are fixed to the outer wall of the outer cylinder. One end of the unloading seat is fixed with a handle.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention, through its outer cylinder, inner cylinder, and multiple placement slots arranged around the inner cylinder, along with a clamping and limiting component and a feeding seat, allows for the following functionality: During use, a stepper motor is driven to rotate the inner cylinder, aligning the placement slots sequentially with the outer cylinder's outlet. The dial indicator body is then inserted into the slots until they are full. Next, one of the arc-shaped cover plates is rotated, covering the inlet and outlet respectively. When unloading is needed after transfer, one end of the rotating rod can be pressed or stepped on, causing the other end to lift the lifting chamber. The feeding seat moves upward to fit against the outer cylinder. At this time, multiple feeding slots and multiple slots of the placement slots are aligned. Simultaneously, two release rods contact and press with the corresponding connectors, causing the sliding rod to slide backward. Multiple arc-shaped limit pins are removed, and multiple dial indicator bodies fall into the feeding slots. The rotating rod is released, causing the lifting chamber and feeding seat to move downward. The feeding seat can then be pulled out to remove the dial indicator body. This process is repeated until the dial indicator bodies in the multiple placement slots on the inner cylinder are all fed. In this device, the dial indicator bodies are stored separately to avoid damage, and the storage capacity is large at one time, making it convenient to pick up and put away.

[0021] like Figures 1-11As shown, an instrument transport device includes a trolley 1, an outer cylinder 2, an inner cylinder 3, a feeding seat 7, and a dial indicator body 22. The outer cylinder 2 is fixed to the upper part of the trolley 1. The inner cylinder 3 is coaxially rotatably disposed inside the outer cylinder 2. A stepper motor 12 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the outer cylinder 2. The stepper motor 12 is used to drive the inner cylinder 3 to rotate. Multiple placement slots 14 are equidistantly opened around the outer wall of the inner cylinder 3. Multiple slots 16 are equidistantly opened on the bottom wall of the placement slots 14. The dial indicator body 22 can be inserted into the slots 16. Each placement slot 14 is provided with a clamping and limiting component. The upper and lower sides of the outer cylinder 2 are respectively provided with a feed port 4 and a discharge port 13. The feed port 4 and the discharge port 13 are adapted to the placement slots 14. The feeding seat 7 is movably disposed at the lower part of the outer cylinder 2 and aligned with the discharge port 13. After the feeding seat 7 moves upward, it can feed the dial indicator body 22 into the placement slot 14.

[0022] The clamping and limiting assembly includes multiple sliding rods 24. Arc-shaped grooves 25 are opened inside the inner cylinder 3 near multiple placement slots 14. The multiple sliding rods 24 are slidably disposed in the multiple arc-shaped grooves 25. Multiple arc-shaped limiting pins 15 are fixed at equal intervals on one side of the sliding rods 24, and the other end of each arc-shaped limiting pin 15 extends into the placement slot 14. After the arc-shaped limiting pins 15 extend into the placement slot 14, they can clamp and limit the dial indicator body 22. A spring 23 is fixed on the side of the sliding rod 24 away from the arc-shaped limiting pins 15, and the other end of the spring 23 abuts against the inner wall of one side of the arc-shaped groove 25. The arc-shaped limiting pins 15 can block the dial indicator body 22.

[0023] Both ends of the arc-shaped chute 25 have arc-shaped grooves 18, and the arc-shaped grooves 18 all pass through the outer wall of the inner cylinder 3. Both ends of the slide rod 24 are fixed with connectors 17, and the connectors 17 all pass through the arc-shaped grooves 18. Both ends of the inner wall of the outer cylinder 2 are rotatably equipped with stops 26 near the feed inlet 4, and torsion springs are installed at the rotatable connection between the stops 26 and the outer cylinder 2. When the inner cylinder 3 rotates, multiple connectors 17 can alternately contact the stops 26. The elastic force of the spring 23 is less than the torsion force of the torsion spring. When the connectors 17 on both sides rotate to a position close to the feed inlet 4, the two connectors 17 respectively contact the two stops 26. Upon contact, because the torsion spring's torque is greater than the spring force of spring 23, the connector 17 is blocked after contacting the stop block 26, causing the slide rod 24 to slide backward. This causes the corresponding multiple arc-shaped limiting pins 15 to move backward away from the placement groove 14. At this time, the dial indicator body 22 can be placed into the placement groove 14 in sequence and inserted into multiple slots 16. After the connector 17 passes the stop block 26, the stop block 26 quickly returns to its original position to continue blocking the next set of connectors 17. The previous set of connectors 17 is no longer blocked, and the slide rod 24 returns to its original position due to the spring force of spring 23. The multiple arc-shaped limiting pins 15 re-enter the placement groove 14.

[0024] The upper part of the trolley 1 is equipped with a lifting chamber 6, one end of which is open. The unloading seat 7 is slidably disposed inside the lifting chamber 6. Multiple unloading slots 21 are equidistantly opened on the upper part of the unloading seat 7, and the multiple unloading slots 21 are correspondingly arranged with multiple slots 16 in the placement slot 14. A hinge seat 10 is fixed to one end of the upper part of the trolley 1. A rotating rod 11 is rotatably disposed on the hinge seat 10. A roller 19 is rotatably disposed at one end of the rotating rod 11. The roller 19 contacts the bottom of the lifting chamber 6. Stepping on one end of the rotating rod 11 causes the roller 19 at the other end to lift the lifting chamber 6, so that the unloading seat 7 moves up to fit against the outer cylinder 2.

[0025] The upper part of the trolley 1 is fixed with multiple support sleeves 8, and each support sleeve 8 is slidably provided with a support column 28. The lifting chamber 6 is fixed to the upper part of the multiple support columns 28.

[0026] Both ends of one side of the lifting chamber 6 are fixed with release rods 20. After the release rods 20 move upward, they can squeeze the corresponding connectors 17 to move. At the same time as the feeding seat 7 moves upward, the two release rods 20 contact and squeeze the corresponding connectors 17, causing the corresponding slide rods 24 to slide backward. Multiple arc-shaped limit pins 15 are removed and separated from the dial indicator body 22. Multiple dial indicator bodies 22 are all fed into the feeding seat 7 under the action of gravity.

[0027] Multiple guide columns 30 are fixed to the inner wall of one end of the lifting chamber 6, and the other end of each guide column 30 is slidably inserted into the unloading seat 7, so that the unloading seat 7 can slide stably.

[0028] Magnets 31 are fixed to the inner wall of one side of the lifting chamber 6 and the outer wall of one end of the unloading seat 7. The two magnets 31 are magnetically attracted to each other. After the unloading seat 7 is pushed in, the two magnets 31 are attracted tightly, temporarily fixing the unloading seat 7.

[0029] Both sides of the outer wall of the outer cylinder 2 are equipped with slidable arc-shaped cover plates 5, and multiple connecting rings 27 are connected between the two arc-shaped cover plates 5. The two arc-shaped cover plates 5 are used to cover the feed inlet 4 and the discharge outlet 13 respectively. Rotating one arc-shaped cover plate 5 will drive the other arc-shaped cover plate 5 to rotate synchronously through the connecting rings 27, so that the two arc-shaped cover plates 5 cover the feed inlet 4 and the discharge outlet 13 respectively. The upper sides of the trolley 1 are fixed with brackets 9, and the upper ends of the brackets 9 are fixed to the outer wall of the outer cylinder 2. One end of the unloading seat 7 is fixed with a handle 29, which can be pulled to slide the unloading seat 7 out.

[0030] Working principle: During use, the stepper motor 12 drives the inner cylinder 3 to rotate, causing the multiple placement slots 14 on the inner cylinder 3 to align sequentially with the discharge port 13 of the outer cylinder 2. When the connectors 17 on both sides rotate to a position close to the inlet 4, the two connectors 17 respectively contact the two stops 26. Because the torsion spring torque is greater than the spring force of the spring 23, the connectors 17 are blocked after contacting the stops 26, causing the sliding rod 24 to slide backward, causing the corresponding multiple arc-shaped limit pins 15 to move backward away from the placement slots 14. The dial indicator body 22 can be placed into the placement groove 14 and inserted into multiple slots 16 in sequence. Continue to rotate the inner cylinder 3. At this time, the slide rod 24 has slid to the end of the arc-shaped slide groove 25, causing the connector 17 to forcefully press the stop block 26 to rotate. After the connector 17 passes the stop block 26, the stop block 26 quickly returns to its original position to continue blocking the next set of connectors 17. The previous set of connectors 17 is no longer blocked, and the slide rod 24 returns to its original position due to the rebound force of the spring 23. The multiple arc-shaped limit pins 15 re-enter the placement groove 14. Continue filling until multiple placement slots 14 are full, then rotate one of the arc-shaped cover plates 5 so that the two arc-shaped cover plates 5 cover the inlet 4 and outlet 13 respectively. At this point, the loading is complete. Push the trolley 1 to the designated position and then unload. When unloading, press or step on one end of the rotating rod 11 so that the roller 19 at the other end lifts the lifting chamber 6, causing the unloading seat 7 to move up and fit against the outer cylinder 2. At this time, multiple unloading slots 21 are aligned with multiple slots 16 of one of the placement slots 14, and at the same time, the two release rods 2 When 0 contacts and squeezes the corresponding connector 17, it causes the corresponding slide bar 24 to slide backward. Multiple arc-shaped limit pins 15 are removed and separated from the dial indicator body 22. Multiple dial indicator bodies 22 fall into the feeding groove 21 under the action of gravity. The rotating rod 11 is released, causing the lifting chamber 6 and the feeding seat 7 to move down. Then the feeding seat 7 is pulled out to take out the dial indicator body. The feeding seat 7 is pushed in again and moved up again to receive the material. This process is repeated until the dial indicator bodies 22 in the multiple placement grooves 14 on the inner cylinder 3 are fed out.
