DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a dual-block sleeper reinforcement manufacturing and installation system includes a reinforcement manufacturing system and a reinforcement installation system.

[0035] The steel bar production system includes a CNC hoop bending machine 2, an industrial robot 3, a grabbing tool 4, a welding platform 6, a conveyor belt 7 and an electric welder 5.

[0036] The steel bar installation system includes a portal bracket 9, a clamp 10, a hook bending machine 12, a truss separation mechanism 14, a truss steel bar translation frame 13 and a steel bar assembly platform 11. The portal bracket 9 is arranged on the outside of the steel bar assembly platform 11, and rails are arranged on both sides of the upper part of the portal bracket 9. Clamps 10 that can move along the rails are installed on the rails. The steel bar assembly platform 11 is arranged below the portal bracket 9 and is connected to the conveyor belt 7; hook bending machines are arranged on both sides of the steel bar assembly platform 11; the steel bar assembly platform 11 and the truss separation mechanism 14 are staggered, and the two are connected and transported by a truss steel bar translation frame 13 in the middle.

The end of the movable groove 4.3 is connected to a cylinder, and the movement of the groove is achieved by the extension and contraction of the cylinder. By moving and grabbing the steel bar on one side of the stirrup, the leftmost groove restricts the other side of the stirrup, ensuring that it can be grabbed and placed on the welding platform.

[0038] The welding platform 6 is tilted, and a pressure plate 6.1 and a limit stop 6.2 are provided on the welding platform 6.

[0040] The pressure plate rotating device 16 includes a rotating frame 21 arranged at the bottom center of the clamp 10. Both sides of the rotating frame 21 are fixedly connected to a hook frame 23 through a cylinder 22. The hook frame 23 is provided with a through hole.

[0041] The truss separation mechanism 14 comprises a separation mechanism 14.1, a bracket 14.2 and a lifting cylinder 14.3. The lifting cylinder 14.3 is installed in the middle of the bracket 14.2. The lower end of the lifting cylinder 14.3 is connected to a long plate 14.4. Both ends of the long plate 14.4 are connected to the separation mechanism 14.1 through a central axis 14.5. Upright trapezoids 14.7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper part of the separation mechanism 14.1, and inverted trapezoids 14.8 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower part of the separation mechanism 14.1. The ends of the upright trapezoid 14.7 and the inverted trapezoid 14.8 are connected to the telescopic cylinder 14.6. The lifting action is achieved by a lifting cylinder; the bottom of the truss separation mechanism is a left-right symmetrical structure, the upper part of the end of the separation mechanism is a right trapezoid, and the two sides can be overlapped by the extension and contraction of the cylinder, thereby lifting the upper chord of the truss reinforcement; the lower part of the end of the separation mechanism is an inverted trapezoid, and the lower chord of the truss reinforcement can be lifted by the extension and contraction of the telescopic cylinder, and the truss reinforcement can be flipped and inverted by rotating 180° along the central axis at the end of the separation mechanism.

[0042] The steel bar assembly platform 11 includes a conveyor belt 11.1, a top block 11.2 and a hook bending machine 11.3. The hook bending machines 11.3 are arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 11.1, the top block 11.2 is arranged below the conveyor belt 11.1, and a lifting cylinder is arranged at the bottom of the top block 11.2. The conveyor belt is used to transport the stirrups to the designated position; the bottom of the top block is connected to the cylinder, and the top block is lifted and lowered by the cylinder extension and contraction, and the stirrups are positioned and lifted after reaching the designated position; the hook bending machine uses low-carbon steel cold-drawn wire to bend the hook connector with hooks at both ends on site, and connects the stirrups and truss steel bars together.

[0043] The working process of the present invention is as follows: After different types of cold-rolled steel bars are discharged, straightened, welded, sheared, and stacked through the truss steel bar CNC production line, a row of truss steel bars are transported to the truss separation mechanism, two truss steel bars are separated by the truss separation mechanism, and then flipped and placed side by side on the truss steel bar translation frame, and the truss steel bars are transported to the front of the steel bar assembly platform. At the same time, the CNC hoop bending machine discharges, straightens, and bends the unclosed stirrups, and the industrial robot equipped with the grabbing tooling grabs the stirrups and places them on the welding platform. The welding platform is shaped by extrusion and limiting, and the industrial robot equipped with the electric welding machine locates the stirrup welding position by setting coordinates to perform carbon dioxide shielded welding. After welding is completed, the welding platform is relaxed to allow the stirrups to slide onto the conveyor belt, and then transported to the designated position of the steel bar assembly platform via the conveyor belt. After the two stirrups reach the designated position, the bracket under the assembly platform rises to raise the stirrups to a certain height. The clamp picks up the two truss steel bars on the truss steel bar translation frame and transports them to the top of the steel bar assembly platform. The hook bending machine uses cold-drawn steel bars to bend hooks on the stirrups and truss steel bars, so that the hooks hook the stirrups and truss steel bars. After the hook bending is completed, the bracket under the assembly platform drops to the original position so that the hooks hook the stirrups and truss steel bars up and down respectively, keeping the stirrups hanging below the truss steel bars. The clamp picks up the assembled steel bars and raises them to a certain height. Through the coordinate position positioning, it is accurately translated to the top of the corresponding inner cavity of the mold cavity. After alignment, the clamp slowly descends to put the steel bars into the reserved groove in the mold cavity. After the clamp relaxes and presses down, the pressure plate rotating device clamps the middle pressure plate of the mold and rotates 90 degrees to make the pressure plate press the truss steel bars firmly. The placement of the steel bars leads to the fabric and vibration, which causes the steel bars to float and fall off. After the mold installation is completed, the clamp returns to the top of the steel bar assembly platform to wait for the next set of steel bars to be assembled and installed. After the inner cavity of the mold is fully installed, the mold enters the next process.

[0044] While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
