Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transfer technology, and in particular to a material transfer and feeding mechanism for a core-removing reactor. Background Technology
[0002] A core-removing autoclave is a device used in the casting process to remove the core material from castings. It removes the core material through heating and chemical reactions to obtain a precise casting structure. During the core-removing autoclave's production process, a feeding and discharging mechanism transports the material frame outside the unit to the working range of a gantry robot, thus facilitating material transfer.
[0003] However, existing material handling mechanisms have shortcomings. First, existing mechanisms lack an efficient centering structure for the material frame in the core-removing reactor, affecting the accuracy of material handling. Second, existing mechanisms lack a detection structure for the presence or absence of the material frame, making it difficult to detect malfunctions in a timely manner. Therefore, a new material handling mechanism for core-removing reactors is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a material transfer and feeding mechanism for a decoction reactor, comprising a powered conveyor roller 2, which uses a motor to drive the rollers to rotate, thereby conveying materials. Side plates 1 are installed on both sides of the powered conveyor roller 2, providing protection and installation space. A mounting frame 6 is connected to one end of the powered conveyor roller 2. Slide rails 7 are fixedly connected to both ends of the top side of the mounting frame 6. Sliding sliders 8 are slidably connected to the surfaces of the two slide rails 7, and fixing plates 9 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two sliding sliders 8. The fixing plates 9 can slide on the surfaces of the slide rails 7 due to the sliding sliders 8. A centering cylinder 10 is fixedly installed on the surface of plate 9, and the output end of the centering cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to another fixed plate 9. After the centering cylinder 10 is started, it can drive the two fixed plates 9 to move closer or further apart. Clamping components are installed on the surfaces of the two fixed plates 9. The clamping components can clamp and position the material in the center position. A limit component is installed on the top of one side of the mounting frame 6. The limit component can limit the extension and retraction of the centering cylinder 10. Several pillars 4 are fixedly installed on the top of the two side plates 1 and on both sides of the top of the mounting frame 6. Detection components are installed on the top of the pillars 4. The detection components are used to detect the presence or absence of material at the power conveying roller 2 and the centering point.
[0030] Reference Figure 3The clamping assembly includes two support rods 11 and two centering grippers 12. The two support rods 11 are fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 9, and one end of each support rod 11 is fixedly connected to a centering gripper 12. By activating the centering cylinder 10, the two fixed plates 9 are driven to move closer to each other, and the centering grippers 12 on both sides are used to position the material in the center so that it can be accurately clamped by the gantry robot.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 The limiting component includes four connecting blocks 13 and four limiting bolts 14. The mounting bracket 6 is fixedly connected to both ends of the two slide rails 7 on one side. The inner walls of the four connecting blocks 13 are threaded with limiting bolts 14. By setting limiting bolts 14 at both ends of the two slide rails 7, the extension and retraction of the centering cylinder 10 can be limited, ensuring the stability of the material centering and preventing shaking.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 The detection component includes a photoelectric sensor 5, which is fixedly installed on the top of the support column 4. The photoelectric sensor 5 determines the presence of material by emitting a light beam and receiving the reflected light, and can be detected in time when malfunction occurs.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 The surface of the power conveyor roller 2 is equipped with a material frame 3. The material frame 3 used in the core removal kettle can be conveyed by the power conveyor roller 2 to realize the feeding and discharging of materials.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 An abutment block 16 is fixedly installed on the top of one side of the inner wall of the mounting frame 6. When the centering claws 12 on both sides are clamped on both sides of the material frame 3, the abutment block 16 can abut against one side of the material frame 3, thereby improving the positioning stability of the material frame 3.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 Each of the four corners of the bottom of the mounting bracket 6 is fixedly equipped with a support leg 15. The support leg 15 supports and elevates the mounting bracket 6, and the bottom of the support leg 15 is made of rubber, which has a good anti-slip effect.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 Two connecting posts 17 are fixedly connected between the two centering jaws 12. The connecting posts 17 connect the two centering jaws 12 together, which can improve the stability and strength of the jaw structure.
[0037] Working principle: The power conveyor roller 2 transports the material frame 3 used in the core removal reactor. With the cooperation of the slider 8 and the slide rail 7, the centering cylinder 10 is activated to drive the two fixed plates 9 to move closer to each other. Then, the centering grippers 12 on both sides position the material frame 3 in the center, so that it can be accurately gripped by the gantry robot, improving the accuracy of the material frame 3's feeding and discharging. Limit bolts 14 are set at both ends of the two slide rails 7 to limit the extension and retraction of the centering cylinder 10, ensuring the stability of the material frame 3 during centering. Photoelectric sensors 5 (model E3Z-D61) are set at both the power conveyor roller 2 and the centering point of the material frame 3 to detect the presence or absence of the material frame 3, and can be detected in time in case of misoperation. By setting this feeding and discharging mechanism, the material frame 3 can be transported from outside the unit to the working range of the gantry robot, and the material frame 3 can be temporarily stored in the conveying system to ensure smooth production.
