Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of enamel cylinder production technology, specifically to an enamel cylinder transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] In the automatic enamel tank glazing production process, the enamel tanks after enamel coating need to be transferred to the drying line. There is usually a certain distance between the workstations of the two processes, and when the drying line is operating efficiently, each workstation is in a state of cyclical movement. Traditional methods of transfer using conveyor belts or robotic arms cannot meet the requirement of accurately transferring the enamel tanks to the operating drying line, and the transfer efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of one or more shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an enamel cylinder transfer device that can realize linear motion in three axes and rotation in place, thereby enabling the enamel cylinders from the previous station to be quickly and accurately placed on the next station, which greatly improves the transfer efficiency of enamel cylinders in the enamel cylinder glazing production line; at the same time, the drying line does not need to be stopped, effectively ensuring the overall production efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts one or more of the following technical solutions:

[0005] An enamel cylinder transfer device includes a first horizontal moving component, a vertical moving component, a second horizontal moving component, a rotary indexing table, and a supporting component. The first horizontal moving component has a sliding pair along a first horizontal direction, and the rotary indexing table is disposed above the first horizontal moving component. The vertical moving component is disposed above the rotary indexing table and can rotate with the rotary indexing table. The vertical moving component has a sliding pair along a height adjustment direction.

The supporting component is connected to the second horizontal moving component and is used to support the enamel cylinder.

[0006] As a further implementation, the first horizontal moving component includes a base slide, a first linear drive device, and a first horizontal slide rail. The base slide is fixedly connected to the first linear drive device and slidably connected to the first horizontal slide rail. The first horizontal slide rail is arranged along a first horizontal direction, so that the base slide can move linearly along the first horizontal direction, which can drive the supporting component to adjust its horizontal position.

[0007] As a further implementation, the vertical moving component includes an upper and lower sliding platform, a third linear drive device, and a longitudinal slide rail. The upper and lower sliding platform is fixedly connected to the third linear drive device, and the upper and lower sliding platform is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide rail. The longitudinal slide rail is vertically arranged to achieve height adjustment.

[0008] As a further implementation, the second horizontal moving component includes a telescopic slide and a second linear drive device. One end of the second linear drive device is fixedly connected to the telescopic slide and can drive the telescopic slide to move linearly along the second horizontal direction. The telescopic slide and the upper and lower slides are slidably connected along the second horizontal direction. When the upper and lower slides move up and down in a linear motion, they can drive the second horizontal moving component to rise and fall, changing the height of the supporting component.

[0009] As a further implementation, the first linear drive device, the second linear drive device, and the third linear drive device all adopt a combination structure of electric motor and conveyor chain.

[0010] As a further implementation, the rotary indexing table is fixedly mounted on the base slide; the bottom of the rotary indexing table is fixedly connected to the base slide by fastening bolts, and the top of the rotary indexing table is fixedly connected to the up-down moving assembly.

[0012] As a further implementation, the upper part of the rotary indexing table is fixedly connected to the longitudinal slide rail by fastening screws.

[0013] As a further implementation, the supporting component includes a fixed block and a supporting rod. The fixed block is fixedly connected to the second horizontal moving component, and the supporting rod is fixedly connected to the fixed block and extends along the second horizontal direction away from the second horizontal moving component, so as to support the enamel cylinder of the previous station and place it to the next station.

[0014] As a further implementation, the support rod and the fixing block are fixedly connected by fastening bolts.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] In one typical embodiment of this application, an enamel cylinder transfer device is provided, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a first horizontal moving component 1, a vertical moving component 2, a second horizontal moving component 3, and a rotary indexing table 4. The first horizontal moving component 1 is provided with a sliding pair along a first horizontal direction, and the rotary indexing table 4 is located above the first horizontal moving component 1. The vertical moving component 2 is located above the rotary indexing table 4 and can rotate with the rotary indexing table 4. The vertical moving component 2 is provided with a sliding pair along a height adjustment direction. The second horizontal moving component 3 is provided with a sliding pair along a second horizontal direction and is connected to the vertical moving component 2. The second horizontal moving component 3 is provided with a support component 5, which is used to support the enamel cylinder.

[0031] This embodiment employs the above-described scheme. The position of the supporting component in the first horizontal direction is controlled by the first horizontal moving component. This first horizontal direction is preferably parallel to the drying line's layout direction, allowing it to move synchronously with the conveying direction and speed of the drying line, thus accurately placing the enamel cylinder at the target position on the drying line. The height of the supporting component is adjusted by raising and lowering the second horizontal moving component via the up-and-down moving component. This allows the supporting component to efficiently and flexibly adapt to the heights of different workstations and meet the height adjustment requirements during transport. The position of the supporting component in the second horizontal direction is controlled by the second horizontal moving component. This second horizontal direction is preferably parallel to the conveying direction of the previous workstation. Controlling the movement of the supporting component along the second horizontal direction facilitates supporting the enamel cylinder processed at the previous workstation, simplifying the control process and improving positioning accuracy and control efficiency during transport. It also allows for efficient extension or retraction of the supporting component in the second horizontal direction. Rotating the indexing turntable allows the up-and-down moving component, the second horizontal moving component, and the supporting component to rotate as a whole by a certain angle, thereby changing the outward orientation of the supporting component. This efficiently achieves coordination between the supporting component and different workstations, ensuring transport accuracy and efficiency. The support assembly can quickly contact and support the bottom of the enamel cylinder at the previous station. With the position adjustment in the three-axis direction and the rotation of the rotary indexing table, it is transferred to align with the next station and the supported enamel cylinder is placed on the drying line.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first horizontal direction is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction, the vertical moving component 2 is vertically set, and the height adjustment direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction respectively, forming an XYZ three-axis three-dimensional coordinate system. Of course, in other embodiments, the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction and the height adjustment direction can be set to other angles according to the actual production situation, as long as the transfer needs between the two workstations can be met.

[0033] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first horizontal moving assembly 1 includes a base slide 101, a first linear drive device, and a first horizontal slide rail 102. The first horizontal slide rail 102 is horizontally positioned on the ground, and the base slide 101 is mounted above it. The first horizontal slide rail 102 extends along a first horizontal direction. The base slide 101 forms a sliding pair along the first horizontal direction with the sliding grooves on both sides of the first horizontal slide rail 102 via internal sliders on both sides, achieving both limiting and sliding connection in the first horizontal direction. In this embodiment, as... Figure 2As shown, the first linear drive device includes a first motor 103 and a first conveyor chain 104. The first motor 103 is parallel to the first horizontal slide rail 102 and is disposed inside one end of the base slide 101. It is driven by a ball screw to move the base slide linearly along the first horizontal slide rail. The first motor 103 is fixedly connected to one end of the base slide 101 via its flange and fastening screws. The ball screw includes a lead screw and a nut seat. The lead screw is connected to the base slide 101 via bearings. The output shaft of the first motor 103 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw via a flexible diaphragm coupling. The top of the nut seat is fixedly connected to the base slide, thus transmitting the power of the first motor to the base slide and driving it to move linearly through the cooperation of the lead screw and nut seat. The first motor is a servo motor, and its output shaft is parallel to and at the same height as the lead screw axis, ensuring smooth transmission. One end of the first conveyor chain 104 is fixedly connected to the base slide 101 by welding, bolting, or other means, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first horizontal slide rail 102 by welding, bolting, or other means. When the base slide moves horizontally along the first horizontal slide rail, it drives the first conveyor chain to retract or unfold, and the linear movement of the base slide can be guided and limited by the first conveyor chain.

[0034] With the above structure, the first horizontal moving component can drive the rotating indexing table, the up and down moving component, the second horizontal moving component and the supporting component to move linearly along the second horizontal direction, thereby adjusting the horizontal displacement of the supporting component that is unloaded or carrying the enamel cylinder, so as to complete the transfer of the enamel cylinder by the supporting component.

[0035] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotary indexing table 4 is fixedly installed above the base slide 101. The bottom of the rotary indexing table 4 is fixedly connected to the base slide 101 by fastening bolts, and the top of the rotary indexing table 4 is fixedly connected to the up-down moving assembly 2. The rotary indexing table can use existing products on the market. In this embodiment, the rotary indexing table adopts the PT-GS200 high-speed electric rotary table.

[0036] With the above structure, the rotary indexing table can drive the up-and-down moving component, the second horizontal moving component, and the support component to rotate as a whole by a set angle, quickly changing the horizontal position of the support component and further improving the transfer efficiency.

[0037] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the vertical moving component 2 includes an upper and lower sliding platform 201, a third linear drive component, and a longitudinal slide rail 202. The longitudinal slide rail 202 is vertically arranged and fixedly installed above the rotary indexing table 4. The bottom of the longitudinal slide rail 202 is fixedly connected to the rotary indexing table 4 by fastening screws. The upper and lower sliding platform 201 is located on one side of the longitudinal slide rail 202 and is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide rail 202, forming a sliding pair along the vertical direction, thereby achieving height adjustment of the upper and lower sliding platform. The third linear drive component includes a third motor 203 and a third conveyor chain 204. Its driving principle is consistent with the aforementioned first linear drive component; it also uses existing couplings and ball screws to connect and transmit power between the output shaft of the third motor 203 and the upper and lower sliding platform 201, thereby driving the upper and lower sliding platform 201 to move linearly along the longitudinal slide rail 202. In this embodiment, the third motor 203 is a servo motor and is located on the top outer side of the longitudinal slide rail 202. The third motor 203 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal slide rail 202 via a flange and fastening screws. One end of the ball screw is connected to the output shaft of the third motor 203 via a flexible diaphragm coupling. The nut seat is fixedly connected to the upper and lower sliding tables 201. When the third motor starts, it drives the upper and lower sliding tables to move linearly along the longitudinal slide rail. One end of the third conveyor chain 204 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal slide rail 202, and the other end is fixedly connected to the upper and lower sliding tables 201. When the upper and lower sliding tables move linearly along the longitudinal slide rail, they drive the third conveyor chain to retract or extend: when the upper and lower sliding tables descend, the third conveyor chain retracts; when the upper and lower sliding tables rise, the third conveyor chain extends. The third conveyor chain can guide and limit the linear movement of the base slide table.

[0038] With the above structure, the vertical moving component can drive the second horizontal moving component and the supporting component to move in a straight line in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the lifting height of the supporting component when it is unloaded or carrying the enamel cylinder, so as to complete the transfer of the enamel cylinder by the supporting component.

[0039] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the second horizontal moving component 3 is disposed on one side of the upper and lower sliding platforms 201. The second horizontal moving component 3 includes a telescopic sliding platform 301 and a second linear drive device. The telescopic sliding platform 301 is disposed along the second horizontal direction. A horizontal groove is fixedly disposed on the side of the upper and lower sliding platforms 301 facing the telescopic sliding platform. The telescopic sliding platform 301 and the horizontal groove form a sliding pair along the second horizontal direction. The telescopic sliding platform can move linearly relative to the upper and lower sliding platforms through the horizontal groove, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the supporting component in the second horizontal direction. The second linear drive device includes a second motor 302 and a second conveyor chain 303. The driving principle is the same as that of the aforementioned first and second linear drive components. It also uses existing couplings and ball screws to connect and transmit the output shaft of the second motor 302 to the telescopic sliding platform 301, thereby realizing the second motor 302 driving the telescopic sliding platform 301 to move linearly along the second horizontal direction. The second motor 302 is a servo motor and is disposed inside one end of the telescopic sliding platform 301. The second motor is fixedly connected to the telescopic slide. One end of the ball screw is connected to the output shaft of the second motor via a flexible diaphragm coupling. The nut seat is fixedly connected to the upper and lower slides. When the second motor starts, the second motor and the telescopic slide move horizontally relative to the upper and lower slides along a second horizontal direction. One end of the second conveyor chain 303 is fixedly connected to the telescopic slide 301, and the other end is fixedly connected to the upper and lower slides 201. When the telescopic slide moves horizontally relative to the upper and lower slides, it drives the second conveyor chain to retract or extend: when the telescopic slide moves towards the transfer equipment, the second conveyor chain retracts; when the telescopic slide moves away from the transfer equipment, the second conveyor chain extends. The second conveyor chain can guide and limit the linear movement of the telescopic slide.

[0040] With the above structure, the second horizontal moving component can drive the supporting component to move in a straight line in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the lifting height of the supporting component when it is unloaded or carrying the enamel cylinder, so as to complete the transfer of the enamel cylinder by the supporting component.

[0041] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the support component 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the telescopic slide 301 and extends outward. The support component 5 includes a fixed block 501 and a support rod 502 that are fixedly connected. The fixed block 501 is fixedly installed on the telescopic slide 301 by fastening bolts. One end of the two parallel support rods 502 is installed on the fixed block 501 by fastening bolts, and the other end extends a certain distance away from the telescopic slide. It can support the enamel cylinder of the previous station from both sides and place it to the next station to achieve stable transfer.

[0042] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0043] The transfer device is placed between two adjacent processing stations on the enamel cylinder glazing production line. After the enamel cylinder from the previous station arrives at its position, the second horizontal moving component is activated, and the telescopic slide extends, allowing the supporting component to contact and support one or more enamel cylinders. Next, the vertical moving component is activated, and the vertical slide rises, lifting the enamel cylinder to a certain height, away from the placement platform of the previous station. Then, the telescopic slide retracts inward. The rotating indexing table is activated, causing the enamel cylinder to rotate 180° in place for easy transport to the next station.

[0044] When the next station is on the moving drying line, the first horizontal moving component and the second horizontal moving component can be activated together. While the base slide moves horizontally along the direction of the drying line, the telescopic slide extends, thereby accurately placing the enamel cylinder to be processed at the next station. This achieves efficient and precise transfer, and can be combined with the control system to realize a fully automated transfer process.

[0045] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
