Description

Industrial automatic mixing device

[0001] The present invention relates to an industrial automatic mixing device that automatically mixes chalkfast and a hardener.

[0002] Typically, when building large ships, the ship's engine is manufactured separately from the hull. The engine is then moved to the hull and bolted to the ship. To ensure a more stable, level engine, compounds such as chokefast and hardeners are used.

[0003] Traditionally, workers have manually mixed the chalkfast and hardener using a grinder, but this method has the problem of significantly low work efficiency. Large vessels typically use approximately 1,000 to 2,000 chalkfasts, and the mixing process for each chalkfast container takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes, resulting in a significant time consuming process for completing the entire mixing process. Furthermore, the conventional method requires workers to move up and down and left and right to perform the mixing process, which increases worker fatigue and leads to inconsistent work quality due to manual work.

[0026]

[0027] FIG. 1 is an example of a chalk fast container (100) and a hardener container (200) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] Referring to Fig. 1, the chalkfast container (100) contains chalkfast, and the hardener container (200) contains a hardener. The chalkfast in the chalkfast container (100) is an epoxy resin-based mixture with very high viscosity. This chalkfast is a type of compound that is filled between parts during the shipbuilding process to fix the parts and act as a buffer, and can be mixed with the hardener in the hardener container (200) before being filled between the parts.

[0029] At this time, the size of the chalk fast container (100) may vary depending on the product, and the amount of chalk fast in the chalk fast container (100) may also vary depending on the size of the chalk fast container (100). If the amount of chalk fast in the chalk fast container (100) varies, the amount of hardener mixed with the chalk fast must also vary.

[0030] The industrial automatic mixing device (100) described below is a device that automatically mixes chalk fast and a hardener in a chalk fast container (100). It does not simply automatically mix the chalk fast and the hardener, but is configured to dynamically control the amount of hardener input, the rotation speed of the impeller and the rotary motor, the temperature of the heater, etc. according to the amount of chalk fast. Hereinafter, the detailed configuration and operation of the industrial automatic mixing device (100) will be examined in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7.

[0031]

[0032] FIG. 2 is a perspective view from above of an industrial automatic mixing device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view from below of an industrial automatic mixing device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention. In addition, FIG. 4 is a front view of an industrial automatic mixing device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] As illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 4, an industrial automatic mixing device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a lower plate (302), a middle plate (304), an upper plate (306), a guide rod (308), a rotating support plate (310), a support member (312), a hardener injection unit (314), a rotating member (316), an impeller (318), an air motor (320), an air cylinder (321), and a control unit (328).

[0034] The lower plate (302) is a plate provided at the bottom of the industrial automatic mixing device (100). The lower plate (302) is formed in a plate shape of a predetermined size (e.g., a square plate shape) and may be formed adjacent to the ground. A plurality of moving wheels may be provided on the lower surface of the lower plate (302). In addition, an air cylinder (321) and a control unit (328), which will be described later, may be provided on the upper surface of the lower plate (302).

[0035] The middle plate (304) is a plate provided in the middle part of the industrial automatic mixing device (100). The middle plate (304) may be formed to be spaced apart from the lower plate (302) by a predetermined height. The middle plate (304), like the lower plate (302), is formed in a plate shape (for example, a square plate shape) of a predetermined size and may be placed on the upper side of the lower plate (302). At this time, the lower plate (302) and the middle plate (304) may be interconnected through a guide rod (308). A through hole for the guide rod (308) to pass through may be formed in the edge corner portions of the lower plate (302) and the middle plate (304), and the guide rod (308) may be fastened to the through hole. The middle plate (304) may move up and down along the guide rod (308) under the control of the air motor (320).

[0036] In addition, a plurality of rotating support plates (310) may be provided on the upper surface of the intermediate plate (304). The rotating support plates (310) are plates on which the chalk fast container (100) is mounted, and a plurality of them may be provided on the upper surface of the intermediate plate (304). As an example, four rotating support plates (310) may be provided on the upper surface of the intermediate plate (304).

[0037] Additionally, a weight sensor (324), a heater (325), a rotation motor (326), etc., which will be described later, may be provided inside the middle plate (304).

[0038] The upper plate (306) is a plate provided on the upper portion of the industrial automatic mixing device (100). The upper plate (306) may be formed to be spaced apart from the middle plate (304) by a predetermined height. The upper plate (306), like the lower plate (302) and the middle plate (304), is formed in a plate shape (for example, a square plate shape) of a predetermined size and may be placed on the upper side of the middle plate (304). At this time, the middle plate (304) and the upper plate (306) may be interconnected through a guide rod (308). A through hole for the guide rod (308) to pass through may be formed at an edge corner portion of the upper plate (306), and the guide rod (308) may be fastened to the through hole.

[0039] In addition, an air motor (320) to be described later may be provided on the upper surface of the upper plate (306), and a hardener injection part (314), a rotating member (316), an impeller (318), etc. to be described later may be provided on the lower surface of the upper plate (306).

[0040] The guide rod (308) extends in a direction perpendicular to the ground to interconnect the lower plate (302) and the middle plate (304), and to interconnect the middle plate (304) and the upper plate (306). The guide rod (308) can be fastened to the edge corners of the lower plate (302), the middle plate (304), and the upper plate (306), respectively. As an example, the guide rod (308) may be provided at the edge corners of the square-shaped lower plate (302), the middle plate (304), and the upper plate (306), respectively, for a total of four. As described above, the middle plate (304) can move up and down along the guide rod (308) when the air cylinder (321) is tensioned or compressed. The air cylinder (321) can be tensioned or compressed under the control of the control unit (328) and the air motor (320) described below. As an example, the middle plate (304) may be configured to rise during stirring operation through the impeller (318) described later, and to descend after the stirring operation is completed.

[0041] For this purpose, an air hose connection part (322) may be provided on one side of the air motor (320). An air hose (not shown) is mounted on the air hose connection part (322), and the air hose may be connected to an air cylinder (321). Accordingly, as air discharge and intake into the air hose are repeated under the control of the air motor (320), the air cylinder (321) moves up and down, and the intermediate plate (304) may move up and down according to the up and down movement of the air cylinder (321). The air motor (320) may operate under the control of the control part (328).

[0042] The rotating support plate (310) is a portion where the chalk fast container (100) is seated. As described above, a plurality of rotating support plates (310) may be provided on the upper surface of the middle plate (304). At this time, the rotating support plates (310) can be rotated by a rotation motor (326) under the control of the control unit (328). Specifically, when the chalk fast container (100) is seated on the rotating support plate (310) and the hardener is injected into the interior of the chalk fast container (100) by the hardener injection unit (314), the rotating support plate (310) is rotated by the rotation motor (326) under the control of the control unit (328), thereby performing a stirring operation (mixing operation).

[0043] At this time, a plurality of support members (312) may be formed to protrude from the edge portion (i.e., the outer end) of the rotating support plate (310), and the chalk fast container (100) mounted on the rotating support plate (310) may be stably fixed by the support members (312). In addition, as will be described later, a guide rail (312a) may be provided on the lower inner surface of the rotating support plate (310). The guide rail (312a) may be provided at a position corresponding to the support member (312). The support member (312) may move inward or outward of the rotating support plate (310) along the guide rail (312a), and accordingly, its position may be automatically adjusted to suit the size (or width) of the chalk fast container (100). To this end, a weight sensor (324) is provided on the inner surface of the intermediate plate (304) adjacent to the rotating support plate (310), and the support member (312) can be operated when the weight sensor (324) detects the settling of the chalk fast container (100). The control unit (324) can detect the settling of the chalk fast container (100) through the weight sensor (324) and control the movement of the support member (312) accordingly. When the weight sensor (324) detects the settling of the chalk fast container (100), the position of the support member (312) can be automatically adjusted to suit the size (or width) of the chalk fast container (100). That is, the support member (312) can move under the control of the control unit (328) in conjunction with the weight sensor (324).

[0044] The hardener injection unit (314) is formed to protrude from the lower surface of the upper plate (306) and injects the hardener into the interior of the chalkfast container (100). The hardener injection unit (314) has a set amount of hardener and can inject the hardener into the interior of the chalkfast container (100). At this time, the hardener injection unit (314) can dynamically adjust the amount of hardener injected into the interior of the chalkfast container (100) according to the control of the control unit (328). The hardener injection unit (314) may be provided to correspond to each rotating support plate (310). For example, if there are a total of four rotating support plates (310), there may also be four hardener injection units (314). In addition, as will be described later, the amount of hardener injected into the hardener injection unit (314) for each chalk fast container (100) mounted on each rotating support plate (310) may vary depending on the control of the control unit (328).

[0045] The rotating member (316) is a member formed by protruding from the lower surface of the upper plate (306), and an impeller (318) to be described later is fastened thereto. The rotating member (316) is connected to an air motor (320) and is rotated by the air motor (320) under the control of the control unit (328), thereby causing the impeller (318) to also rotate.

[0046] The impeller (318) is formed to protrude from the lower surface of the upper plate (306) and rotates inside the chalkfast container (100) to mix the hardener and the chalkfast. The impeller (318) is formed to extend in a direction perpendicular to the ground, and a plurality of blades for stirring may be formed to protrude in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the impeller (318) at the lower end of the impeller (318). As described above, the impeller (318) may be fastened to the rotating member (316). The impeller (318) may perform stirring by rotating together with the rotating member (316) while being fastened to the rotating member (316). These impellers (318) may be provided to correspond to each rotating support plate (310). For example, if there are a total of four rotating support plates (310), there may also be four impellers (318). In addition, as will be described later, the rotation speed of the impeller (318) may vary for each chalkfast container (100) mounted on each rotating support plate (310) according to the control of the control unit (328). In addition, as will be described later, a viscosity meter (327) may be provided at the lower end of the impeller (318) to collect the viscosity of the chalkfast in the chalkfast container (100) mounted on the rotating support plate (310) in real time. The viscosity meter (327) may be formed, for example, on the lower side of the blade of the impeller (318).

[0047] The air motor (320) is connected to the control unit (328) and rotates the rotating member (316) and the impeller (318). In addition, as described above, an air hose connection unit (322) may be provided on one side of the air motor (320). An air hose (not shown) is mounted on the air hose connection unit (322), and the air hose may be connected to an air cylinder (321). Accordingly, as air discharge and intake into the air hose are repeated according to the control of the air motor (320), the air cylinder (321) moves up and down, and the intermediate plate (304) may move up and down according to the up and down movement of the air cylinder (321).

[0048] The control unit (328) is electrically connected to the support member (312), the hardener injection unit (314), the impeller (318), the air motor (320), the air cylinder (312), the weight sensor (324), the heater (325), the rotation motor (326), the viscosity meter (327) described above, and controls their operations. The control unit (328) may be provided on the upper surface of the lower plate (302), but the installation location of the control unit (328) is not particularly limited. The inside of the control unit (328) may be provided with hardware such as various boards, chips, and the like for transmitting and receiving signals with the above-described components, that is, components within the industrial automatic mixing device (100), and communication modules. In addition, various software for controlling the operations of the above-described components may be installed on this hardware.

[0049] In particular, the control unit (328) is equipped with a learning model (330) to be described later, and can dynamically control the operations of components within the industrial automatic mixing device (100) using the learning model (330). A specific method by which the control unit (328) dynamically controls the operations of components within the industrial automatic mixing device (100) using the learning model (330) will be described later with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.

[0050]

[0051] FIG. 5 is a drawing showing the internal configuration of a rotating support plate (310) and an intermediate plate (304) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 5, a rotation motor (326) may be connected to each of the rotation support plates (310). That is, the rotation motor (326) is provided for each rotation support plate (310) and may be connected to a control unit (328). The rotation motor (326) may individually rotate each rotation support plate (310) under the control of the control unit (328).

[0053] In addition, a plurality of support members (312) may be formed to protrude from the edge portion of the rotating support plate (310), and the chalk fast container (100) mounted on the rotating support plate (310) may be stably fixed by the support members (312). At this time, a guide rail (312a) may be provided on the lower inner surface of the rotating support plate (310). The support member (312) may move inward or outward of the rotating support plate (310) along the guide rail (312a), and accordingly, its position may be automatically adjusted to suit the size (or width) of the chalk fast container (100).

[0054] As described above, a weight sensor (324) is provided on the inner surface of the intermediate plate (304) adjacent to the rotating support plate (310), and the support member (312) can be operated when the weight sensor (324) detects the settling of the chalk fast container (100). When the weight sensor (324) detects the settling of the chalk fast container (100), the position of the support member (312) can be automatically adjusted to suit the size (or width) of the chalk fast container (100). That is, the support member (312) can move inward or outward of the rotating support plate (310) along the guide rail (312a) so as to come into contact with the chalk fast container (100).

[0055] In addition, the weight sensor (324) is installed on the lower surface of the rotating support plate (310) to detect first weight information, which is the sum of the weight of the chalk fast container (100) mounted on the rotating support plate (310) and the weight of the chalk fast inside the chalk fast container (100), and transmit the same to the control unit (328).

[0056] The control unit (328) can obtain second weight information, which is the weight of the chalk fast container (100), from the current position information of the support member (312). Specifically, the control unit (328) can calculate the width (w) of the chalk fast container (100) from the current position information of the support member (312), and obtain the second weight information from the width (w) of the chalk fast container (100) - the weight of the chalk fast container, which are matched and stored.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 5, the control unit (328) calculates the width (w1) of the first chalk fast container (100-1) and the width (w2) of the second chalk fast container (100-2) from the current position information of the support member (312), and obtains the second weight information of the first chalk fast container (100-1) and the second weight information of the second chalk fast container (100-2) from the width (w) of the chalk fast container (100) and the weight of the chalk fast container, which are stored and matched.

[0058] In general, the total volume of a chalkfast container (100) varies depending on its width (w). The control unit (328) stores the weight of the chalkfast container (100) according to the width (w) of each product, and based on this, the second weight information for the chalkfast container (100) can be obtained from the width (w) of the chalkfast container (100). The control unit (328) can collect position coordinates of a plurality of support members (312) and calculate the width (w) of the chalkfast container (100) from the collected position coordinates of the plurality of support members (312).

[0059] Thereafter, the control unit (328) calculates third weight information, which is the weight of the chalkfast in the chalkfast container (100), from the difference between the first weight information and the second weight information, and dynamically controls the amount of hardener injected into the hardener injection unit (314), the rotation speed of the impeller (318), and the rotation speed of the rotary motor (326) based on the third weight information. At this time, the control unit (328) can control the amount of hardener injected into the hardener injection unit (314), the rotation speed of the impeller (318), and the rotation speed of the rotary motor (326) differently for each rotary support plate (310). That is, when the third weight information is different for each rotating support plate (310), the control unit (328) can control the amount of hardener injected from the hardener injection unit (314), the rotation speed of the impeller (318), and the rotation speed of the rotary motor (326) differently for each rotating support plate (310). As an example, the control unit (328) can control the hardener injection unit (314), the impeller (318), and the rotary motor (326) so that the hardener injection amount a1, the rotation speed b1 of the impeller (318), and the rotation speed c1 of the rotary motor (326) are respectively set for the first rotating support plate, and can control the hardener injection unit (314), the impeller (318), and the rotary motor (326) so that the hardener injection amount a2, the rotation speed b2 of the impeller (318), and the rotation speed c2 of the rotary motor (326) are respectively set for the second rotating support plate. At this time, the amount of hardener injected for each third weight information, the rotation speed of the impeller (318), and the rotation speed of the rotation motor (326) can be calculated based on the learning model (330) described later.

[0060] Additionally, a heater (325) may be provided on the lower inner surface of the rotating support plate (310).

[0061] The control unit (328) dynamically controls the amount of hardener injected into the hardener injection unit (314), the rotational speed of the impeller (318), and the rotational speed of the rotation motor (326) in proportion to the third weight information, and operates the heater (325) at a set temperature for a set time based on the third weight information. As an example, the control unit (328) may operate the heater (325) at a first temperature for a first time when the third weight information falls within a first range, and may operate the heater (325) at a second temperature for a second time when the third weight information falls within a second range.

[0062] Also, returning to FIG. 4, a viscosity meter (327) may be provided at the end of the impeller (318). The viscosity meter (327) may measure the viscosity of the choke fast and transmit it to the control unit (328).

[0063] The control unit (328) collects in real time the viscosity of the chalk fast in the chalk fast container (100) mounted on the rotating support plate (310) from the viscosity meter (327), and when the viscosity is out of the set reference range, at least one of the amount of hardener injected from the hardener injection unit (314), the rotational speed of the impeller (318), the rotational speed of the rotation motor (326), the operating time of the heater (325), and the operating temperature can be automatically adjusted until the viscosity falls within the reference range.

[0064]

[0065] FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a control unit (328) and components operating in conjunction therewith according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] As illustrated in FIG. 6, a control unit (328) according to one embodiment of the present invention may be electrically connected to a support member (312), a hardener injection unit (314), an impeller (318), an air motor (320) (or an air cylinder (321)), a weight sensor (324), a heater (325), a rotation motor (326), and a viscosity meter (327).

[0067] In addition, the control unit (328) has a learning model (330) therein, and can automatically adjust at least one of the amount of hardener injected into the hardener injection unit (314), the rotational speed of the impeller (318), the rotational speed of the rotation motor (326), and the operating time and operating temperature of the heater (325) using the learning model (330).

[0068]

[0069] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a process of enhancing a learning model (330) in a control unit (328) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] Referring to FIG. 7, the learning model (330) receives the weight of the chalkfast in the chalkfast container (100), i.e., the third weight information, from the control unit (328), and can derive the optimal hardener input amount, the rotation speed of the impeller (318), the rotation speed of the rotation motor (326), the operating time and the operating temperature of the heater (325) based on the previously learned learning data. The control unit (328) can control the hardener input amount in the hardener input unit (314), the rotation speed of the impeller (318), the rotation speed of the rotation motor (326), the operating time and the operating temperature of the heater (325) based on the output data output in this manner. Thereafter, the control unit (328) collects in real time the viscosity of the chalkfast in the chalkfast container (100) mounted on the rotating support plate (310) from the viscosity meter (327), and when the viscosity falls within the set reference range, the output data output from the learning model (330), i.e., the amount of hardener injected from the hardener injection unit (314), the rotational speed of the impeller (318), the rotational speed of the rotation motor (326), the operating time and operating temperature of the heater (325), can be fed back into the learning model (330). The learning model (330) can be advanced by learning such fed-back data, and as the learning data in the learning model (330) accumulates, the working quality of the industrial automatic mixing device (100) can be further improved. If the viscosity is outside the set reference range, the control unit (328) can automatically adjust at least one of the amount of hardener injected from the hardener injection unit (314), the rotation speed of the impeller (318), the rotation speed of the rotation motor (326), the operating time of the heater (325), and the operating temperature until the viscosity falls within the set reference range.The control unit (328) can perform a stirring operation by sequentially changing at least one of the amount of hardener injected into the hardener injection unit (314), the rotation speed of the impeller (318), the rotation speed of the rotation motor (326), the operating time and the operating temperature of the heater (325), and by repeating this process, the optimal amount of hardener injected, the rotation speed of the impeller (318), the rotation speed of the rotation motor (326), the operating time and the operating temperature of the heater (325) can be derived according to the weight of the chalk fast. In addition, the control unit (328) can derive weights for each of the amount of hardener injected into the hardener injection unit (314), the rotation speed of the impeller (318), the rotation speed of the rotation motor (326), the operating time and the operating temperature of the heater (325) according to the weight of the chalk fast, i.e., the third weight information, based on the learning data learned in the learning model (330). The factor that has the greatest influence on the stirring operation may vary depending on the third weight information, and the learning model (330) can derive the factor that has the greatest influence on the stirring operation depending on the third weight information based on the learning data. Accordingly, the control unit (328) can preferentially adjust the factor with the highest weight according to the third weight information in the process of adjusting at least one of the amount of hardener injected into the hardener injection unit (314), the rotational speed of the impeller (318), the rotational speed of the rotation motor (326), and the operating time and operating temperature of the heater (325).

[0071] In addition, the control unit (328) may receive, from the manager, adjustment data for at least one of the amount of hardener injected into the hardener injection unit (314), the rotation speed of the impeller (318), the rotation speed of the rotation motor (326), the operating time and the operating temperature of the heater (325), and adjust at least one of the amount of hardener injected into the hardener injection unit (314), the rotation speed of the impeller (318), the rotation speed of the rotation motor (326), the operating time and the operating temperature of the heater (325) based on the adjustment data.
