Metal part casting automation system

Abstract

The invention relates to a metal part casting automation system. The metal part casting automation system comprises a casting machine, a robot, a casting cooling unit, a tool warehouse, a casting grabbing tool and a casting conveying unit. The casting cooling unit comprises a water tank and a casting positioning mechanism arranged on the water tank. The casting positioning mechanism comprises a bracket guide mechanism, a bracket driving mechanism and a soaking bracket, wherein the soaking bracket is arranged on the water tank. The bracket driving mechanism drives the soaking bracket to do linear movement in the vertical direction and immerse into the water tank. A plurality of sets of casting grabbing tools are arranged in the tool warehouse and comprise connecting arms, trays, tray driving mechanisms, tray guide mechanisms and clamping jaw driving mechanisms, wherein the connecting arms are arranged on a mechanical arm of the robot, and the trays are installed on the connecting arms.The tray driving mechanisms drive the trays to move in the guiding directions of the tray guiding mechanisms. The clamping jaw driving mechanisms are arranged on the top surfaces of the trays. The metal part casting automation system is reasonable in layout, high in universality and automation degree, simple and easy to use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of casting equipment, and in particular relates to a casting automation system for metal parts. Background technique [0002] Lightweight is one of the most important ways for fuel vehicles to save energy and reduce emissions, and for new energy vehicles to reduce consumption and increase range. Replacing traditional steel materials with lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys has become an inevitable choice for vehicle design renewal. With the development of casting technology, more parts adopt casting methods such as low pressure casting, differential pressure casting, pressure regulating casting and squeeze casting. [0003] The metal casting production in the prior art mostly adopts manual transfer, manual pick-up and manual control. There are more manual participation in different links of the production line and a lower degree of automation, which brings a series of problems. For example, the wor...
