It is often the case that the ingot temperature or length and other performance indicators fail to meet the process requirements, or the loading robot has delivered the ingot to the extrusion station. At this time, extrusion failures occur and the extrusion needs to be re-processed. In the above cases, the ingot needs to be withdrawn.
[0003] At present, the operation of returning the extruded ingots is basically done manually, using cranes and hoists to lift the ingots away for processing. This traditional transportation method not only takes up manpower and material resources and increases labor costs, but also has a slow pace, low degree of automation, and certain safety hazards.

[0006] To this end, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] An automatic control device for ingot withdrawal of an extruder comprises an ingot withdrawal mechanism, a feeding robot, an ingot support platform and a PLC control system. The ingot withdrawal mechanism and the feeding robot are both electrically connected to the PLC control system by signals. The ingot withdrawal mechanism and the feeding robot cooperate to withdraw the ingot to the ingot support platform. The PLC control system is electrically connected to an HMI human-machine interface.
[0008] The PLC control system is used to calculate the ingot length input through the HMI human-machine interface to obtain the pre-stop position L1 where the ingot withdrawal mechanism needs to withdraw the ingot to the ingot support table and the starting position L2 where the loading robot follows and opens, and to monitor the positions of the ingot withdrawal mechanism and the loading robot in real time to send instructions at the corresponding positions for control.
[0009] The ingot withdrawal mechanism includes an ingot withdrawal arm, an ingot withdrawal frequency conversion motor and a stroke detector. The ingot withdrawal frequency conversion motor is used to drive the ingot withdrawal arm to move linearly. The stroke detector is connected to the PLC control system electrical signal. The stroke detector is used to detect the position of the ingot withdrawal arm in real time. The ingot withdrawal arm, loading robot and ingot support platform are located in the same straight line.

[0012] The rotating shaft of the spindle-retracting frequency conversion motor is connected with a synchronous belt pulley, and the spindle-retracting arm is fixed on the synchronous belt of the synchronous belt pulley.
[0013] The stroke detector is a displacement sensor or an ingot withdrawal rotary encoder. The displacement sensor is arranged on the ingot withdrawal arm.

The PLC control system sends a command to stop the ingot withdrawal frequency conversion motor of the ingot withdrawal mechanism.
[0021] In step 2), when the movable telescopic arm moves along the linear guide rail following the ingot withdrawal arm toward the ingot support platform, the PLC control system monitors the displacement data changes of the stroke detector 1 of the ingot withdrawal mechanism and the stroke detector 2 of the loading robot in real time, and adjusts the movement speed and position of the ingot withdrawal arm and the upper movable telescopic arm in real time to keep the relative positions of the two in dynamic balance.

[0035] Embodiment 1:
[0036] The present embodiment provides an automatic control device for withdrawing an ingot from an extruder, comprising an ingot withdrawal mechanism 1, a loading robot 2, an ingot support platform 3 and a PLC control system 5. The ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 and the loading robot 2 are both electrically connected to the PLC control system 5 by signals. The ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 and the loading robot 2 cooperate to withdraw the ingot 6 to the ingot support platform 3. The PLC control system 5 is electrically connected to an HMI human-machine interface 4 by signals.
[0037] Specifically, the working process or application process of the automatic control device for ingot withdrawal of the extruder provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0038] During the retraction of the ingot 6 of the extruder, the HMI human-machine interface 4 inputs the length of the ingot 6 to be withdrawn this time, and the PLC control system 5 calculates the pre-stop position L1 of the ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 to the ingot support table 3 and the starting position L2 of the loading robot 2 to follow and open, and then feeds back the corresponding control values calculated to the travel control devices of the ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 and the loading robot 2. During the retraction process, the PLC control system 5 monitors the displacement data changes of the ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 and the loading robot 2 in real time, and adjusts the movement speed and position of the ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 and the loading robot 2 in real time to form a closed-loop control, so that the relative position of the ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 and the loading robot 2 always maintains a dynamic balance to ensure smooth withdrawal.
[0039] The invention has a high degree of automation and is applicable to both single-action and double-action extruders. It realizes full automation of the extruder ingot withdrawal without manual intervention, greatly reduces labor and production costs, speeds up production rhythm, and reduces safety hazards caused by manual transportation.
[0040] Embodiment 2:
[0041] On the basis of Example 1, this embodiment provides an automatic control device for withdrawing ingots from an extruder, wherein the PLC control system 5 is used to calculate the length of the ingot 6 inputted from the HMI human-machine interface 4 to obtain the pre-stop position L1 where the ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 needs to withdraw the ingot to the ingot support table 3 and the starting position L2 where the loading robot 2 follows and opens, and to monitor the positions of the ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 and the loading robot 2 in real time to send instructions at the corresponding positions for control.
[0042] The ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 includes an ingot withdrawal arm 101, an ingot withdrawal frequency conversion motor 102 and a stroke detector 1. The ingot withdrawal frequency conversion motor 102 is used to drive the ingot withdrawal arm 101 to move linearly. The stroke detector 1 is connected to the PLC control system 5 by electrical signals. The stroke detector 1 is used to detect the position of the ingot withdrawal arm 101 in real time. The ingot withdrawal arm 101, the loading robot 2 and the ingot support platform 3 are located on the same straight line.
[0043] The ingot withdrawal arm 101 is driven by the ingot withdrawal frequency conversion motor 102 to carry out reciprocating transportation, and the ingot 6 is pushed to the ingot support platform 3 by the ingot withdrawal arm 101. In the process of the ingot withdrawal arm 101 pushing the ingot 6 back, the PLC control system 5 monitors the displacement value of the stroke detector 1 in real time. When the ingot withdrawal arm 101 moves to the starting position L2 where the feeding robot 2 follows and opens, the PLC control system 5 sends a command to open the feeding robot 2. When the ingot withdrawal arm 101 moves to the pre-stop position L1 where the ingot needs to be withdrawn to the ingot support platform 3, the PLC control system 5 sends a command to stop the ingot withdrawal frequency conversion motor 102.

The stroke detector 2 is connected to the PLC control system 5 by electrical signals. The stroke detector 2 is used to detect the position of the spindle withdrawal arm 101 in real time.
[0047] When the ingot 6 needs to be withdrawn, the loading robot 2 moves to the ingot withdrawal position. At this time, the loading robot 2 is not opened, that is, the movable telescopic arm 201 is located on the side of the linear guide 204 close to the fixed arm 203, and the ingot 6 is clamped by the robot fingers of the fixed arm 203 and the movable telescopic arm 201, and then the ingot withdrawal arm 101 of the ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 pushes the ingot 6 to move toward the ingot support platform 3. During the entire withdrawal process, the robot fingers are in a clamping state, and the ingot withdrawal arm 101 can pass through the robot fingers of the fixed arm 203.
[0048] When the ingot withdrawal arm 101 moves to the starting position L2 where the movable telescopic arm 201 of the loading robot 2 follows and opens, the PLC control system 5 sends an instruction to start the movable arm telescopic frequency conversion motor 202, driving the movable telescopic arm 201 to move along the linear guide rail 204 toward the ingot support platform 3 until the movable telescopic arm 201 opens to the maximum position (i.e. moves to the rightmost end of the linear guide rail 204), and then the ingot withdrawal arm 101 pushes the ingot 6 to continue to move toward the ingot support platform 3 until it moves to the pre-stop position L1 where the ingot needs to be withdrawn to the ingot support platform 3.
[0049] During this process, in order to always maintain a dynamic balance between the relative positions of the ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 and the loading robot 2, the PLC control system 5 monitors the displacement values of the stroke detector 1 of the estimation mechanism and the stroke detector 2 of the loading robot 2 in real time, thereby adjusting the speed of the movable arm telescopic frequency conversion motor 202 and the ingot withdrawal frequency conversion motor 102 to achieve real-time adjustment of the movement speed and position of the ingot withdrawal mechanism 1 and the loading robot 2.
[0050] Among them, the determination of the starting position L2 and the pre-stop position L1 is related to the distance between the fixed arm 203 and the movable telescopic arm 201 of the loading robot 2 and the distance between the movable telescopic arm 201 and the ingot support platform when the movable telescopic arm 201 is opened to the maximum. For a device implemented on site, these distances are all determined and can be set in advance in the HMI human-machine interface.

When the ingot withdrawal arm (101) moves to the starting position L2 where the loading robot (2) follows and opens, the PLC control system (5) sends a command to start the movable arm telescopic variable frequency motor (202) of the loading robot (2), so that the movable telescopic arm (201) moves along the linear guide rail (204) following the ingot withdrawal arm (101) in the direction of the ingot support platform (3), so that the movable telescopic arm (201) opens; Step 3) the movable telescopic arm (201) continues to move along with the ingot withdrawal arm (101) toward the ingot support platform (3) until the movable telescopic arm (201) moves to the end of the linear guide rail (204). At this time, the movable telescopic arm (201) is opened to the maximum position, and the PLC control system (5) sends a command to stop the movable arm telescopic variable frequency motor (202); Step 4) the ingot withdrawal arm (101) continues to push the ingot (6) toward the ingot support platform (3) until the ingot withdrawal arm (101) moves to the pre-stop position L1, and the ingot (6) is returned to the ingot support platform (3). The PLC control system (5) sends a command to stop the ingot withdrawal variable frequency motor (102) of the ingot withdrawal mechanism (1).
7. The automatic control method for ingot withdrawal of an extruder according to claim 6, characterized in that: In step 2), when the movable telescopic arm (201) moves along the linear guide rail (204) following the ingot withdrawal arm (101) toward the ingot support platform (3), the PLC control system (5) monitors the displacement data changes of the stroke detector 1 of the ingot withdrawal mechanism (1) and the stroke detector 2 of the loading robot (2) in real time, and adjusts the movement speed and position of the ingot withdrawal arm (101) and the upper movable telescopic arm (201) in real time, so that the relative positions of the two maintain dynamic balance.
