Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of rare earth smelting auxiliary equipment, and in particular to an intelligent robot system for a discharge process of a rare earth smelting furnace. Background Art
[0002] Rare earths, as a strategically important mineral resource, are widely used in high-tech fields such as new energy, electronic information, and aerospace. Their mining and processing place extremely high demands on the precision and flexibility of discharge equipment. Currently, most rare earth discharge equipment on the market uses a single motion trajectory design, achieving material transportation and discharge through single-directional mechanical motion. This type of equipment, with its simple structure and manageable costs, plays a fundamental role in the rough processing of rare earths. However, as the trend toward refined and diversified rare earth products intensifies, the limitations of existing discharging equipment in terms of motion trajectory adjustment are becoming increasingly apparent. Single-unit motion trajectory equipment can only meet the requirements of linear or fixed-angle material output, making it difficult to achieve flexible multi-angle and multi-dimensional adjustment based on dynamic changes in the production process. In the deep processing of rare earths, faced with materials of varying particle sizes and fluidities, as well as diverse discharging requirements, this type of equipment often fails to provide a precisely adapted motion trajectory, resulting in low discharging efficiency and poor uniformity. This lack of motion trajectory adjustment not only limits rare earth production efficiency and product quality, but also increases production costs and energy consumption. When the production process requires frequent adjustments to the discharge angle or height, operators spend a significant amount of time disassembling and reassembling equipment, which not only reduces production continuity but also risks equipment damage due to human error.

[0022] refer to Figures 1 to 5 An intelligent robot system for a rare earth smelting furnace discharging process according to an embodiment of the present application includes: a first support assembly, a first drive device 2, a second support assembly, a robotic arm assembly, and a discharging assembly.
[0023] The first support assembly includes a first guide rail structure 1 extending horizontally. This provides a horizontal motion track for the entire system, enabling components mounted on it to move laterally, thereby expanding the robot system's range of motion in horizontal space and facilitating subsequent precise positioning of the discharge location. The first drive device 2 is mounted on the first support assembly and is movable along the first guide rail structure 1. Serving as a power source, the first drive device 2 drives itself and its connected components along the first guide rail structure 1, enabling active horizontal movement of the system and enabling flexible adjustment of its position based on discharge requirements, thereby enhancing the system's maneuverability. The second support assembly includes a second guide rail structure 3 extending vertically and connected to the first guide rail structure 1. The vertical arrangement of the second guide rail structure 3, which cooperates perpendicularly with the first guide rail structure 1, provides a vertical motion track for the robotic arm assembly, enabling the robotic arm assembly to move not only horizontally but also vertically, further expanding the robotic arm's range of motion in space and enabling it to reach different heights within the smelting furnace for discharge operations. The robotic arm assembly includes a second drive device and a drive arm 4, which is mounted on the second guide rail structure 3 via a drive arm base 17. The second drive device is mounted on the second guide rail structure 3 and connected to one end of the drive arm 4, enabling the drive arm 4 to swing about that end within a vertical plane. The second drive device provides the power for the drive arm 4 to swing within the vertical plane, enabling the drive arm 4 to swing about its connection point. This swinging function, combined with the movement of the first and second guide rail structures 1 and 3, enables the robotic arm assembly to achieve more complex and flexible spatial motion, facilitating the precise scooping and pouring of rare earth melt. The discharge assembly includes a scoop 5 extending in a vertical direction, the top of which is rotatably connected to the other end of the drive arm 4. As the component that directly contacts and transfers the rare earth melt, the vertical arrangement of the scoop 5 facilitates scooping the melt deep into the smelting furnace. The rotatable connection to the drive arm 4 allows the scoop 5 to follow the movement of the drive arm 4 while also adjusting its angle according to actual needs, facilitating the discharge action and ensuring that the melt can be accurately transferred to the target location. This increases the horizontal and vertical range of motion of the robotic arm and is specifically designed for discharge and pouring actions, enabling the intelligent robotic system to efficiently and accurately complete the discharge process of the rare earth smelting furnace. Compared with traditional methods, this greatly improves discharge efficiency and quality while reducing the safety risks of manual operation. In some embodiments, the first support assembly further includes a first support rack 6 and a second support rack 7 .
[0024] The first support frame 6 extends vertically to a set height. The first support frame 6 provides a vertical support foundation for the entire first support assembly, increasing the vertical stability of the support structure, capable of withstanding the forces generated by the first drive device 2 and other components during movement, and preventing the system from shaking or tilting in the vertical direction. The second support frame 7 extends horizontally and is connected to the top of the first support frame 6. The first guide rail structure 1 is mounted on the second support frame 7. After the second support frame 7 is connected to the first support frame 6, a stable support structure is formed. When the first guide rail structure 6 is installed on the second support frame 7, the first guide rail structure 1 is firmly supported, which enhances the horizontal structural strength of the entire first support assembly, ensures the stability and reliability of the first drive device 2 when moving on the first guide rail structure 1, and avoids movement deviation or component damage due to insufficient structural strength. The combination of the first supporting rack 6 and the second supporting rack 7 can increase the structural strength of the support, provide a stable support foundation for the entire intelligent robot system, ensure the stability and reliability of the system during operation, and help improve the service life and work efficiency of the system. In some embodiments, the second supporting rack 7 includes a first horizontal rod body 701 and a second horizontal rod body 702 .
[0025] The first horizontal rod 701 extends perpendicularly to the second horizontal rod 702, and one end of the first horizontal rod 701 is connected to the middle of the second horizontal rod 702, resulting in a "T"-shaped horizontal cross-section of the second support frame 7. This "T"-shaped structural design increases the support area and stability in the horizontal direction. Compared to a single rod structure, it can better disperse and withstand the forces applied by components such as the first guide rail structure 1 and the first drive device 2, thereby improving the horizontal load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the second support frame 7. Accordingly, there are three first support racks 6, each connected to the first, second, and third ends of the second support rack 7. The connection of the three first support racks 6 and the second support rack 7 forms a more stable three-dimensional support structure, supporting and securing the second support rack 7 from multiple directions. This further enhances the structural strength and stability of the entire first support assembly, effectively resisting external forces from various directions during the operation of the robotic system, and ensuring stable operation of the system even under complex working conditions. In some embodiments, the first drive device 2 includes a first drive motor, and a first drive gear 9 is provided on the output shaft of the first drive motor. The first drive motor serves as a power source, and drives the first drive gear 9 to rotate via the output shaft, thereby providing power for the movement of the first drive device 2 on the first guide rail structure 1.
[0026] Preferably, the first guide rail structure 1 includes an arcuate rack 8, which includes a first bar portion 801, an arcuate portion 802, and a second bar portion 803. The first bar portion 801 is disposed on one side of the first horizontal rod 701 and is parallel to the extension direction of the first horizontal rod 701. The second bar portion 803 is disposed on one side of the second horizontal rod 702 relative to the first bar portion 801. The arcuate portion 802 is located between the first bar portion 701 and the second bar portion 702 and is connected to both. The special structural design of the arcuate rack 8 enables the first drive gear 9 to mesh along different parts of the arcuate rack 8 during rotation, thereby achieving reciprocating movement of the first drive motor between the first and second ends, or between the first and third ends. This not only expands the horizontal motion trajectory of the first drive device 2, allowing it to move over a wider range, but also enables the coordination of different parts to achieve more complex motion paths, thereby improving the horizontal motion flexibility and positioning accuracy of the robot system.
[0027] The cooperation between the first drive motor, the first drive gear 9 and the arc-shaped rack 8 enables the first drive device 2 to move back and forth flexibly and accurately within a specific horizontal range, providing reliable power and movement mode for the horizontal movement of the entire intelligent robot system, which is conducive to improving the efficiency and accuracy of the discharging operation. In some embodiments, the first guide rail structure further includes a V-shaped guide rail, on which the first drive motor is slidably mounted via a V-shaped wheel. The V-shaped guide rail and the V-shaped wheel have V-shaped cross-sections, and the wheel body of the V-shaped wheel can extend into the V-shaped groove of the V-shaped guide rail, thereby providing guidance and support for the sliding of the first drive motor on the first guide rail structure 1. This also effectively limits the lateral displacement of the first drive motor during sliding, ensuring stable sliding along the direction of the V-shaped guide rail and improving the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the first drive device. Furthermore, the relatively large contact area between the V-shaped guide rail and the V-shaped wheel can withstand heavy loads, enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the first drive device during movement and ensuring the stability and reliability of the system during operation. In some embodiments, when in the initial state, the extension direction of the driving arm 4 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the scoop 5. The vertical relationship between the driving arm 4 and the scoop 5 is conducive to the subsequent movement of the robotic arm assembly to drive the scoop 5 to perform accurate position adjustment and angle change, which is convenient for the operator to control and operate the system. At the same time, it also provides a stable and repeatable starting condition for the automatic operation of the system, ensuring that each discharging operation can start from the same initial state, thereby improving the consistency and accuracy of the operation. In some embodiments, the discharge assembly further includes a third drive mechanism 10 and a housing 11. The third drive mechanism 10 is disposed at the other end of the drive arm 4 and is connected to the housing 11, causing the housing 11 to swing along a vertical plane. The third drive mechanism 10 provides the power for the housing 11 to swing within the vertical plane. By controlling the swing of the housing 11, the angle and position of the scoop 5 can be further adjusted, making the scoop 5 more flexible in scooping and pouring the melt, adapting to different discharge requirements and work scenarios. The box body 11 is also connected to the top of the scoop 5. The box body 11 serves as a connecting transition component between the scoop 5 and the drive arm 4, connecting the scoop 5 to the third drive device 10, allowing the scoop 5 to move with the swing of the box body 11. It also provides a certain degree of support and protection for the scoop 5, enhancing the stability of the scoop 5 during movement. The cooperation between the third drive device 10, the box body 11 and the scoop 5 further improves the flexibility and operability of the discharging assembly, so that the scoop 5 can be adjusted within a wider angle range, thereby improving the system's adaptability to different discharging conditions and ensuring that the discharging operation can be completed efficiently and accurately.
[0028] In some embodiments, the discharging assembly further includes a cylinder mounting plate 12, a cylinder 13 and a clamp 14. The cylinder mounting plate 12 is arranged inside the box body 11, providing a mounting base for the cylinder 13, ensuring that the cylinder 13 can be stably mounted inside the box body 11. The cylinder 13 is located inside the box body 11 and is mounted on the cylinder mounting plate 12. As a power source, the cylinder 13 can generate a force through telescopic movement. The clamp 14 is located inside the box body 11 and is connected to the cylinder 13. The top of the scoop 5 extends into the interior of the box body 11 and is clamped by the clamp 14. The cylinder 13 drives the opening and closing of the clamp 14 through telescopic movement, thereby realizing the clamping and releasing operations of the scoop 5. When the scoop 5 is needed for discharging, the cylinder 13 drives the clamping jaws 14 to clamp the scoop, ensuring that the scoop 5 does not loosen or fall off during movement, ensuring the safety and stability of the discharging operation. When the scoop 5 needs to be replaced or maintained, the cylinder 13 drives the clamping jaws 14 to release, facilitating the removal and installation of the scoop 5. This ensures reliable fixation and convenient operation of the scoop 5, improves the practicality and maintainability of the discharging assembly, and ensures the stable operation of the intelligent robot system during the discharging process. In some embodiments, the discharge assembly further includes a heat shield 15, which is disposed at the bottom of the box body 11. The top of the scoop 5 passes through the heat shield 15 and extends into the interior of the box body 11. During the discharge process of the rare earth smelting furnace, the scoop 5 comes into contact with the high-temperature rare earth melt. The provision of the heat shield 15 can effectively prevent the high-temperature heat from being transferred from the scoop 5 to the box body 11 and other components, reducing the impact of high temperature on the internal structure of the box body 11 and other components, protecting the normal operation performance of components such as the cylinder 13 and the clamping jaws 14, extending the service life of these components, and also improving the safety and stability of the entire discharge assembly when operating in a high-temperature environment. In some embodiments, the discharge assembly further includes two force sensors 16, which are located at both ends of the inner side of the box body 11, and each force sensor 16 is also in contact with the cylinder mounting plate 12. The force sensor 16 can monitor in real time the magnitude and direction of the force applied to the scoop 5 during the process of scooping and pouring the molten material. Through the information fed back by the force sensor 16, the control system can timely understand the working status of the scoop 5, such as whether enough molten material has been scooped, whether resistance is encountered during the pouring process, etc. Based on this information, the control system can accurately control and adjust components such as the first drive device 2, the second drive device 2, the third drive device 10, and the cylinder 13 to ensure the smooth discharge operation. At the same time, it can also prevent component damage caused by excessive or uneven force, thereby improving the intelligence and reliability of the system.
[0029] In some embodiments, the system further includes a third guide rail structure 19 and a fourth drive device. The third guide rail structure 18 is located below and connected to the first drive device 2, enabling the third guide rail structure 18 to move along the first guide rail structure 1 along with the first drive device 2. The third guide rail structure 18 extends horizontally and perpendicular to the direction of extension of the first guide rail structure 1. The second guide rail structure 3 is located below and connected to the third guide rail structure 18. The fourth drive device includes a fourth drive motor, which is mounted on the third guide rail structure 18 and is used to drive the second guide rail structure 3 to move along the third guide rail structure 18. Both the first drive device 2 and the fourth drive device are capable of horizontally moving the second guide rail structure 3, the third guide rail structure 18, the scoop 5, and the like. The first drive device 2 is primarily used to drive the second guide rail structure 3, the third guide rail structure 18, the scoop 5, and the like laterally along the first guide rail structure 1, enabling large-scale and wide-range movement, such as moving the robotic arm from an initial position to or within a rare earth smelting furnace. The fourth drive motor is mainly used to adjust the position of the second guide rail structure 3 and the scoop 5 in a small amplitude and small range. By detecting the position between the scoop 5 and the inner wall of the rare earth smelting furnace in real time, the position of the scoop 5 is adjusted by the fourth drive motor to maintain a safe distance between the scoop 5 and the inner wall of the smelting furnace, thereby avoiding collision between the scoop 5 and the inner wall of the smelting furnace.
[0030] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
