Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tile production, and in particular relates to a tile conveying device. Background Art

[0002] The commonly used brick machines on the market for loading and unloading tiles on production lines are frame-type brick machines that use silicone suction cups. When multiple silicone suction cups are used to absorb a plate of closely arranged tiles, even if they are the same model of silicone suction cups, the elasticity of each silicone suction cup may change after long-term work, so that the height of each adsorbed tile may be different. The edges of tiles with one high and one low are easily damaged during the adsorption or placement process, affecting the quality of the tiles. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the above technical defects, the utility model discloses a tile conveying device, which can improve the problem in the prior art that the edges of tiles are easily damaged during the process of transporting closely arranged tiles.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the utility model discloses a tile conveying device, comprising:

[0030] Conveyor rack 1;

[0031] The clamp 2 is movably arranged on the conveying frame 1, and the clamp 2 includes a sponge suction cup 21, a suction fan 22 and a control valve. The sponge suction cup 21 is connected to the suction fan 22, and the suction fan 22 is electrically connected to the control valve. The control valve is used to control the switch of the suction fan 22.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the utility model discloses a tile conveying device, which is applied to a tile production line and is used to convey a plurality of tiles in a close arrangement at one time, with high conveying efficiency. When it is necessary to adsorb tiles, the control valve controls the suction fan 22 to start, and the suction fan 22 sucks away the air in the sponge suction cup 21, so that a negative pressure is formed at the sponge suction cup 21, and the tiles are sucked up; when it is necessary to place tiles, the control valve controls the suction fan 22 to close, and the sponge suction cup 21 becomes a normal pressure, and the tiles are put down. The utility model uses the suction fan 22 to increase the adsorption force of the sponge suction cup 21, so that the sponge suction cup 21 can adsorb a plurality of tiles in a close arrangement at one time. Since the sponge body of the sponge suction cup is a porous structure, the elasticity is stable, and it can work stably for a long time, so that each tile after adsorption is at the same height; and the friction of the sponge body is very large, and it is difficult for the tiles to move along the surface of the sponge suction cup, protecting the edges of each tile from colliding with each other.

[0033] In one embodiment, since the tile conveying equipment is used to transport tiles just produced from a kiln, the sponge body of the sponge suction cup 21 is a heat-resistant sponge, which effectively prevents the hot tiles from melting the sponge body, thereby ensuring the working stability of the clamp 2.

[0034] In one embodiment, the fixture 2 is provided with a proximity switch for detecting the position of the sponge suction cup 21. Before the sponge suction cup 21 sucks the tile, it needs to move to the suction position above the tile to fit the tile, and when the sponge suction cup 21 moves to the suction position, the proximity switch is triggered, the proximity switch sends a position signal, and then the control valve opens the channel connecting the suction fan 22 with the external environment, so that negative pressure is generated inside the sponge suction cup 21 to suck the tile.

[0035] In one embodiment, the clamp 2 is covered with flame-retardant waterproof cloth and Velcro to protect the wires and air pipes, effectively preventing the wires from being subjected to excessively high temperatures that affect the communication quality and preventing the wires from being damaged by the outside, as well as preventing the air pipes from being damaged by the outside.

[0036] In one embodiment, in order to enable the clamp 2 to be movably disposed on the conveying frame 1, the tile conveying equipment further includes a driving device 3 and a transmission component 4, and the driving device 3 drives the clamp 2 to move on the conveying frame 1 through the transmission component 4.

[0037] Furthermore, the tile conveying equipment also includes a connecting frame 5, which is slidably arranged on the conveying frame 1, the clamp 2 is installed on the connecting frame 5, and the driving device 3 drives the connecting frame 5 to move on the conveying frame 1.

[0038] Specifically, the driving device 3 is a servo motor installed on the connecting frame 5. The transmission component 4 includes a rack and a gear. The rack is installed along the length direction of the conveying frame 1, and the gear is installed on the output end of the servo motor. The gear is meshed with the rack for transmission. When the servo motor is started, it drives the connecting frame 5 and the clamp 2 to move synchronously.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the fixture 2 to absorb and place tiles, the tile conveying device also includes a lifting device 6, one end of which is connected to the connecting frame 5, and the other end is connected to the fixture 2 to control the lifting movement of the fixture 2. The lifting device 6 drives the fixture 2 to descend so that the fixture 2 is close to the tile and absorbs it; after the fixture 2 absorbs the tile, the lifting device 6 drives the fixture 2 to rise to avoid directly moving the fixture 2 horizontally and colliding with the production line, and then the driving device 3 drives the lifting device 6 and the fixture 2 to move to the preset position, and the fixture 2 puts down the tile only after the lifting device 6 drives the fixture 2 to descend.

[0040] Furthermore, the lifting device 6 includes a scissor-type telescopic mechanism, which includes a bottom beam 61 and a top beam 62, and two left-right symmetrical support units are arranged between the bottom beam 61 and the top beam 62, each of the support units includes two scissor-type arms 63 that are hinged to each other at the center, and the two ends of each scissor-type arm 63 are respectively hinged to the bottom beam 61 and the top beam 62; wherein the top beam 62 is slidably connected to the conveying frame 1, and the bottom beam 61 is connected to the clamp 2; so that the two scissor-type arms 63 of each support unit rotate relative to each other around the center point at the same time, thereby smoothly raising or lowering the clamp 2.

[0041] Furthermore, the scissor-type telescopic mechanism also includes a linkage shaft 64, both ends of which are respectively connected to the central hinge positions of the two support units, so that the two support units are connected together and the movements are consistent, so that the clamp 2 can be smoothly raised or lowered.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to provide the retracting power for the scissor-fork telescopic mechanism and control the speed and amplitude of the opening of the scissor-fork telescopic mechanism, the lifting device 6 also includes a hoist 65, a support 66, a fixed pulley 67 and a steel belt. The hoist 65 and the support 66 are installed on the connecting frame 5. The hoist 65 is wound with the steel belt (not shown), and the steel belt passes through the fixed pulley 67 from the hoist 65 and is connected to the linkage shaft 64. The hoist 65 drives the linkage shaft 64 to move up and down through the steel belt, and the support unit will also expand and contract accordingly, so that the vertical movement of the clamp 2 can be controlled by controlling the rotation direction and rotation speed of the hoist 65, and the height of the clamp 2 can be controlled by controlling the length of the steel belt extending from the hoist 65, so that the clamp 2 can be accurately stopped at a specified height.

[0043] In one embodiment, the conveyor frame 1 is a gantry frame, including a horizontal frame 11 and a plurality of support columns 12 for raising the horizontal frame 11 , and the clamp 2 is slidably disposed on the horizontal frame 11 .

Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the specific implementation methods disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the utility model should also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model. In addition, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for the convenience of description and do not constitute any limitation to the utility model.
