Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aerated concrete panel production technology, and more specifically, relates to a wire mesh clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] Aerated concrete panels are a type of building material. They are lightweight, porous materials formed by adding aerated concrete to the exterior, using metal mesh as the internal structure. Aerated reinforced concrete panels, also known as aerated boards, have a lower density than cement boards and possess excellent fire resistance, sound insulation, heat insulation, and thermal insulation properties.

[0003] Currently, in autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block production lines, some companies use plastic clip-on mesh cages. When assembling these cages, the process typically involves manually adjusting the dimensions of the saddle frame steel rods, securing the plastic clips with the rods, and finally, multiple people working together to attach the mesh panels to the plastic clips, forming the cage. This traditional method of attaching mesh panels is largely manual, resulting in low efficiency and poor installation accuracy. Furthermore, to enhance competitiveness, AAC block manufacturers are demanding increasingly higher annual production capacities and shorter cycle times for each production stage. This inefficient mesh attachment method can no longer meet these demanding requirements.

[0004] A search revealed a Chinese patent application (CN202120889761.2, published on November 2, 2021) disclosing a wire mesh gripping and transferring device. The gripping device includes a gripping frame with a sensing component and at least two sets of gripping components spaced apart. Each gripping component includes a claw with two tentacles. The claw can rotate the two tentacles, opening and closing them. The tentacles have locking protrusions. This device can grip only one wire mesh sheet at a time from a stack of wire mesh sheets. The transferring device includes the gripping device, a robotic arm, and a lift. The robotic arm is mounted on the lift, and the wire mesh gripping device is connected to the robotic arm. This device can perform lifting, translation, and rotation movements to transfer the wire mesh sheets.

[0005] The aforementioned device replaces the traditional manual method, enabling automated mechanical gripping of the mesh panels. However, this device grips the mesh panels from the top using claws. When used for mesh panel clamping, it needs to be installed above the mesh assembly station, occupying installation space that can easily interfere with the mesh assembly operation. Furthermore, the device has low overall flexibility; the mesh panels can only move horizontally or vertically, making it unsuitable for situations where multiple mesh panels are clamped side-by-side onto multiple sets of plastic clips for pre-positioning the mesh cage. In other words, the device suffers from poor flexibility in gripping and moving the mesh panels. While using existing robotic arms to grip the mesh panels can improve the flexibility of movement, the robotic arm's gripping action can affect the stability of the mesh panels during movement, causing wobbling and making it difficult to accurately clamp the mesh panels onto the plastic clips, especially for excessively long mesh panels. Summary of the Invention

[0006] 1. The problem to be solved

The more detailed description of embodiments of the present invention below is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but is merely illustrative and does not limit the description of the features and characteristics of the invention, in order to provide the best mode for carrying out the invention and sufficient to enable those skilled in the art to practice it. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] A wire mesh clamping device is used in concrete block production line mesh assembly to grab and precisely clamp the wire mesh onto plastic clips. Its specific structure and technical effects are described in detail below.

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the device includes a base 1, with a pair of robotic arms 2 symmetrically arranged at both ends of the base 1. A fixed beam 3 connects the pair of robotic arms 2, and multiple mesh gripping devices 4 are installed on the fixed beam 3 along its length. In this embodiment, existing robotic arms on the market can be used for the robotic arms 2.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the mesh clamping device 4 includes a lateral displacement mechanism 41 mounted on the fixed beam 3. A mounting plate 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the lateral displacement mechanism 41, and a mesh clamping claw 43 is mounted on the mounting plate 42. The lateral displacement mechanism 41 drives the mesh clamping claw 43 to move along the width direction of the fixed beam 3. In this embodiment, the lateral displacement mechanism 41 uses a rodless cylinder, and the mesh clamping claw 43 uses a pneumatic clamping claw.

[0038] By using multiple mesh clamping devices 4 to simultaneously clamp the mesh along its length, stability can be effectively ensured when clamping and moving excessively long meshes. Furthermore, by controlling the movement of the fixed beam 3 through a pair of robotic arms 2, the flexibility of mesh movement is greatly increased, thereby enabling the mesh to be gripped and precisely snapped onto the plastic card.

[0039] The mesh clamping device 4 also includes an adjusting plate 44 and a lifting mechanism 45. The mounting plate 42 is equipped with a slide rail extending along the height direction. The adjusting plate 44 is slidably mounted on the slide rail, and the lifting mechanism 45 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 42, controlling the adjusting plate 44 to rise and fall along the slide rail. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 45 is a cylinder. Through the adjusting plate 44 and the lifting mechanism 45, the height of the clamps can be quickly adjusted, making the clamping of the mesh more convenient and precise.

[0040] In this embodiment, a mesh clamp 43 is installed on the upper and lower sides of the adjusting plate 44, and at least one clamping plate of the mesh clamp 43 has a clamping groove 46 for mesh embedding. The mesh clamps 43 on the upper and lower sides, together with the arrangement of multiple mesh clamping devices 4 installed on the fixed beam 3 along the length direction, realize multi-point clamping in the length and width directions of the mesh, which greatly increases the stability of the mesh when it is clamped and moved, while the clamping groove 46 allows the clamps to better clamp the mesh.

[0041] Furthermore, a slide rail extending along the length of the fixed beam 3 is provided on the fixed beam 3. A transverse displacement mechanism 41 is slidably mounted on the slide rail and moves along the length of the fixed beam 3 controlled by a longitudinal displacement mechanism 47. Specifically, the longitudinal displacement mechanism 47 includes a drive motor fixedly mounted on the transverse displacement mechanism 41. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a gear, and a rack extending along the length of the fixed beam 3 and meshing with the gear is provided on the fixed beam 3. The longitudinal displacement mechanism 47 can control the movement of the mesh clamping device 4 along the length of the fixed beam 3, adjusting the position of the mesh clamping device 4 to accommodate meshes of different lengths and specifications.

[0042] In this embodiment, slide rails are provided on two adjacent surfaces of the fixed beam 3. Correspondingly, a connecting plate is installed on the lateral displacement mechanism 41, which is in contact with the surfaces of the fixed beam 3 that have slide rails. The connecting plate is provided with a slider that matches the slide rails. This multi-slide rail configuration makes the movement of the lateral displacement mechanism 41 on the fixed beam 3 more stable.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, a position sensor 48 is installed on one side of the mesh gripper 43, which can control the device to stop moving when the mesh gripper 43 moves to the mesh gripping position, thereby improving the gripping efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, this embodiment also includes a turntable mounted on the inner side of a pair of robotic arms 2. A rotary motor 5 is mounted on each robotic arm 2 to drive the turntable. Both ends of the fixed beam 3 are fixedly connected to the turntables on the two robotic arms 2, respectively. This arrangement allows the device to control the rotation of the fixed beam via the turntable, further improving the device's flexibility when gripping, moving, and attaching the mesh to plastic cards.

[0045] In summary, the mesh clipping device of this embodiment can grab and accurately clip mesh onto plastic clips, improve the flexibility and stability of mesh during movement, and increase networking efficiency.
