Furthermore, the existing methods of placing and removing quartz tubes from the heater are inconvenient, requiring frequent manual intervention. This not only increases operational complexity but also raises the labor intensity for workers, impacting production efficiency and operational safety. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the existing single quartz tube has low heating efficiency, and the operation of placing and removing the existing quartz tube from the heater is inconvenient, which not only increases the complexity of operation but also increases the labor intensity of workers, affecting production efficiency and operational safety.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a quartz tube loading and unloading device, comprising: support; A heating assembly is rotatably mounted on the bracket. One end of the heating assembly has a push port and the other end has a feed port. The heating assembly has a receiving cavity that connects the push port and the feed port. The receiving cavity is used to hold at least one quartz tube. A placement rack is mounted on the bracket and spaced apart along a first direction on one side of the heating assembly; the placement rack is used to place the quartz tube. A drive assembly, mounted on the bracket, has its output connected to the heating assembly to drive the heating assembly to switch between a vertical and a horizontal state. When the heating assembly is in a horizontal state, the quartz tube is placed inside the heating assembly through the feed port; when the heating assembly is in a vertical state, the heating assembly heats the quartz tube. A pusher assembly is mounted on the bracket and spaced apart along the first direction on the other side of the heating assembly to push the quartz tube from the heating assembly to the placement rack.

Two rotating shafts are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the heater along a second direction, and one end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the heater, and the other end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bracket. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0006] Furthermore, the heating assembly also includes a limiting shaft, with two limiting shafts disposed opposite each other on both sides of the heater along the second direction. One end of one limiting shaft is connected to the heater, and the other end is rotatably connected to the driving assembly, so that when the heating assembly moves to the vertical state, the limiting shaft abuts against the bracket for limitation.

[0007] Furthermore, the bracket includes a main body and support rods. Two support rods are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the heater along the second direction, and the support rods are connected to the main body. The support rods have notches that face the direction of the pusher assembly, and the position of the notches corresponds to the limiting shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the receiving groove is V-shaped.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a positioning component, which is mounted on the bracket and presses the heating component against the heating component when the heating component is in the vertical state.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1This utility model provides a quartz tube loading and unloading device, including a support 1, a heating component 2, a placement rack 3, a driving component 4, and a pushing component 5. The support 1 serves as the basic structure of the entire device, used to fix and support all other components. The heating component 2 is rotatably mounted on the support 1 to realize the switching between heating and loading / unloading positions. One end of the heating component 2 has a pushing port, and the other end has a feeding port 21. The heating component 2 has a receiving cavity 22 connecting the pushing port and the feeding port 21, and the receiving cavity 22 is used to place at least one quartz tube 6. The placement rack 3 is mounted on the support 1 and spaced apart along a first direction. The placement rack 3 is used to place the quartz tube 6 on one side of the heating component 2; the drive component 4 is installed on the bracket 1 and the output end of the drive component 4 is connected to the heating component 2 to drive the heating component 2 to switch back and forth between the vertical and horizontal states. When the heating component 2 is in the horizontal state, the quartz tube 6 is placed in the heating component 2 through the feed port 21; when the heating component 2 is in the vertical state, the heating component 2 heats the quartz tube 6; the pusher component 5 is installed on the bracket 1 and is spaced along the first direction on the other side of the heating component 2 to push the quartz tube 6 from the heating component 2 to the placement rack 3.

[0019] Based on the above structure, when the quartz tube 6 needs to be loaded, the heating component 2 is in a horizontal position. The operator or automated equipment such as a robotic arm pushes the quartz tube 6 from the feed port 21 into the receiving cavity 22 of the heating component 2. Then, the drive component 4 is activated, rotating the heating component 2 from a horizontal state to a vertical state. In the vertical state, the heating component 2 heats the quartz tube 6 inside. After heating is completed, the drive component 4 is activated again, rotating the heating component 2 back to a horizontal state. The pushing component 5 is activated, pushing the heated quartz tube 6 from the feed port 21 to the placement rack 3 through the pushing port. The operator or automated equipment such as a robotic arm removes the quartz tube 6 from the placement rack 3, and then continues to place the quartz tube 6 to be heated on the placement rack 3; the above steps are repeated to achieve continuous operation.

[0020] This embodiment employs an automated structure for loading and unloading quartz tubes 6, simplifying operation, reducing worker workload, improving production efficiency, and lowering operational risks. Understandably, since the heating assembly 2 can hold at least one quartz tube 6, it can also support heating multiple quartz tubes 6, thus improving efficiency. It should be noted that when multiple quartz tubes 6 need to be placed within the heating assembly 2, they are stacked sequentially along the length of the heating assembly 2. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the first direction in this embodiment is located on the X-axis in the horizontal direction.

[0021] like Figure 2As shown, the heating assembly 2 includes a heater 23 and a rotating shaft 24. The two rotating shafts 24 are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the heater 23 along the second direction. One end of the rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the heater 23, and the other end of the rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0022] Understandably, in this embodiment, two rotating shafts 24 are respectively mounted at the front and rear ends of the heater 23, allowing the heater 23 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shafts 24, thereby switching from a horizontal to a vertical state under the action of the drive assembly 4. Furthermore, by symmetrically mounting the rotating shafts 24 on both sides of the heater 23, the force on the heater 23 is evenly distributed during rotation, preventing the heater 23 from swaying or being unbalanced during rotation.

[0023] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the second direction in this embodiment is located on the Y-axis in the horizontal direction.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the heating assembly 2 also includes a limiting shaft 25. Two limiting shafts 25 are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the heater 23 along the second direction. One end of the limiting shaft 25 is connected to the heater 23, and the other end is rotatably connected to the drive assembly 4 so that when the heating assembly 2 moves to the vertical state, the limiting shaft 25 abuts against the bracket 1 for limitation.

[0025] Understandably, in this embodiment, the two limiting shafts 25 are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the heater 23. When the heater 23 rotates to a specific position (i.e., vertical state), the bracket 1 will abut against the limiting shaft 25 and block the limiting shaft 25, thereby limiting its continued rotation, realizing mechanical positioning limit, preventing the heating component 2 from rotating out of position, ensuring that the heater 23 stops in the accurate position, which is convenient for subsequent heating.

[0026] Furthermore, the bracket 1 includes a main body 11 and a support rod 12. The main body 11 is the main load-bearing structure of the device and is fixed on the ground or frame. The main body 11 is used to install the drive assembly 4, the placement frame 3 and other structures. The support rod 12 is connected to the main body 11, and the two support rods 12 are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the heater 23 along the second direction to support and cooperate with the movement of the heater 23. The support rod 12 has a notch 121 facing the direction of the push assembly 5. The position of the notch 121 corresponds to the limit shaft 25.

[0027] In this embodiment, the notch 121 can be understood as a space reserved for the movement trajectory of the limiting shaft 25. When the heater 23 rotates, the limiting shaft 25 on it will rotate along with it. When the heating assembly 2 rotates to a certain preset angle, the limiting shaft 25 just enters or reaches the area of ​​the notch 121. When the limiting shaft 25 moves to the end of the notch 121 (i.e., in the vertical state), it will be supported by the support rod 12 and cannot continue to rotate. In this embodiment, the cooperation between the notch 121 and the limiting shaft 25 enables the heater 23 to stop in the vertical state, preventing the heater 23 from rotating excessively due to inertia or malfunction, thus playing a certain role in protecting the equipment.

[0028] Furthermore, the drive assembly 4 includes a mounting base 41 and a first drive member 42. The mounting base 41 is mounted on the bracket 1 and serves as the fixed foundation for the first drive member 42, so as to mount the first drive member 42 on the bracket 1 and ensure its stability during operation. One end of the first drive member 42 is mounted on the mounting base 41, the output end of the first drive member 42 is connected to the heating assembly 2, and the first drive member 42 forms an inclination angle with the first direction.

[0029] When the first driving member 42 pushes or pulls the heating component 2 through telescopic movement, since the first driving member 42 has an inclination angle with the first direction, its output force will generate an oblique component force. This oblique force acts on the heater 23, causing it to rotate around the rotating shaft 24, thereby realizing the switching from a vertical state to a horizontal state, or from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

[0030] It should be noted that the first driving component 42 is a cylinder.

[0031] Furthermore, the pushing assembly 5 includes a pushing cylinder 51, which is mounted on the bracket 1, and the pushing end of the pushing cylinder 51 is positioned towards the heating assembly 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the pusher cylinder 51 installed on the bracket 1 uses its piston rod (i.e. the pusher end) to push the quartz tube 6 located in the heater 23 to the placement rack 3 through the pusher port, thereby completing the unloading process.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the placement rack 3 includes a placement seat 31 and a roller 32. The placement seat 31 has a receiving groove 311 for placing the quartz tube 6. The side wall of the receiving groove 311 is provided with multiple mounting grooves. The multiple mounting grooves are spaced apart along the first direction, and each mounting groove is equipped with a roller 32, which reduces friction and facilitates the sliding of the quartz tube 6.

[0034] Based on the above structure, when the quartz tube 6 is placed on the placement seat 31, the presence of the roller 32 changes the sliding into rolling, reducing the friction of the quartz tube 6 and making it easier to push the quartz tube 6. In this embodiment, the quartz tube 6 is easily pushed by rolling friction, so that it slides smoothly into the heater 23, reducing the resistance of manual pushing, reducing the labor intensity of the operator, and improving work efficiency and operational safety.

[0035] Furthermore, the receiving groove 311 is V-shaped. Understandably, the V-shaped structure can naturally position the circular quartz tube 6 on the center line of the groove, preventing it from shifting to the left or right. Moreover, the three-point contact (i.e., the two inclined surfaces of the receiving groove 311 contacting the tube wall of the quartz tube 6) is more stable than planar support, which can prevent the quartz tube 6 from shaking or rolling. In addition, the sidewalls of the V-shaped structure can be conveniently provided with mounting grooves on both sides for symmetrical installation of rollers 32, ensuring balanced force distribution.

[0036] Furthermore, the quartz tube loading and unloading device also includes a positioning component 7, which is installed on the bracket 1. When the heating component 2 is in a vertical state, the positioning component 7 presses the heating component 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, by setting up a positioning component 7, the heating component 2 is firmly locked in a vertical position through a pressing action, ensuring that the heater 23 can be accurately placed in the vertical position, preventing it from moving or shifting due to vibration, thermal expansion or external force during operation, and ensuring the stability and safety of operation.

[0038] Furthermore, the positioning component 7 includes two positioning cylinders 71, which are mounted on the bracket 1 and are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the heating component 2 along the second direction.

[0039] In this embodiment, the two positioning cylinders 71 apply pressure to the heater 23 in the middle from both sides simultaneously, thus clamping it from both sides and better securing the heater 23. In addition, the opposing positioning cylinders 71 ensure a symmetrical distribution of force, preventing the heater 23 from tilting due to force on one side, and improving the stability of the heater 23 during operation.

[0040] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a quartz tube loading and unloading device, which adopts an automated structure to load and unload quartz tubes 6, making operation simple, reducing labor intensity, improving production efficiency, and reducing operational risks. Understandably, since the heating component 2 can hold at least one quartz tube 6, when multiple quartz tubes 6 need to be heated, the heating component 2 can also support the placement of multiple quartz tubes 6 for heating, thus improving efficiency.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
