Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a silo, in particular to a silo suitable for storing and transporting plugs of different specifications. Background Art

[0002] During the gravure plate-making process, a plug needs to be installed at each end of the steel pipe. Due to the different diameters of steel pipes for different products, the size of the required plug also changes accordingly. In actual production, there are more than 50 plug specifications involved. The current plug storage and transportation method is to provide the required plugs in real time according to the target production plan, which has the disadvantages of too high timeliness requirements and limited storage quantity. In addition, the device for storing plugs needs to be moved to the center as a whole, resulting in a large consumption of energy. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art, such as too high timeliness requirement, limited storage quantity and energy consumption, and to provide a silo suitable for storing and transporting plugs of different specifications.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0005] A silo suitable for storing and transporting plugs of different specifications, including a silo rack of multiple specifications, wherein the silo rack includes two parallel silo plates, plug holes of multiple sizes are relatively arranged on the two silo plates, and storage cylinders are arranged between the plug holes in relative positions for connection, the size of the storage cylinders is the same as the size of the plug holes, and multiple plugs of corresponding sizes are stored in the storage cylinders.

[0006] The storage rack is a rectangular structure, and a plurality of support pipes are arranged on the edge of the storage rack to connect two storage plates.

[0007] Furthermore, the support tube is specifically a square support tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the support tube is located between the two storage tubes.

[0009] The storage tube is a cylindrical hollow structure, with a plurality of strip-shaped baffles arranged at intervals, and the strip-shaped baffles connect the two ends of the storage tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the intervals between the strip-shaped baffles are equal.

[0011] The silo is also provided with a coordinate manipulator, the bottom surface of the grabbing end of the coordinate manipulator is provided with a plug detector, and the top side wall of the grabbing end is provided with a material shortage detector. When the plug detector at the grabbing end confirms that there is a plug in the storage barrel below, it grabs downwards and records the usage of the corresponding plug increased by 1; the material shortage detector determines whether the image of the storage plate is received to detect whether it has reached the plane where the storage plate is located. If so, it determines that there is no plug in the storage barrel below and issues a corresponding material shortage alarm.

[0012] A gasket is arranged at one end of the storage cylinder, and the size of the gasket is the same as the size of the plug hole.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of buffer protrusions are provided on the gasket.

[0014] The silo is also provided with a central positioning frame, the number of which is one, and the storage racks are arranged with the central positioning frame as the center.

[0015] Furthermore, the storage racks on both sides of the central positioning rack are arranged from most to least according to the usage of the plugs.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The present invention arranges the storage racks where the corresponding plugs are located near the central positioning rack according to the usage of the plugs from most to least, reasonably allocates the transportation routes when transporting the plugs, and reduces the energy consumption when transporting the plugs.

[0018] 2. The present invention uses a coordinate manipulator to grab the plug and effectively record the usage of the plug in each storage rack. At the same time, it determines whether the image of the storage plate is received according to the material shortage detector, so as to detect whether it has reached the plane where the storage plate is located, and promptly alarms the storage cylinder with 0 inventory, thereby ensuring the stability of the silo operation.

[0019] 3. A large number of plugs can be stored in the storage cylinder of the present invention, and the operating workers can concentrate their time to replenish the plugs into the storage space without having to pay attention to whether the plugs need to be replenished all the time, thereby reducing the timeliness of the handling operation.

[0020] 4. The storage rack of the present invention is constructed by combining a storage tube, a storage plate and a support tube, has a simple structure and is easy to maintain, and a damaged storage tube can be replaced in a short time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
