Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent manufacturing technology, specifically to an automated stacking mechanism for edge ribs. Background Technology

[0002] Edge joists, also known as edge studs, are a type of building material. An edge joist consists of a base plate, a first side plate, and a second side plate. The first and second side plates are located on either side of the base plate, with the first side plate perpendicular to the base plate and the second side plate perpendicular to the base plate, and the first and second side plates parallel to each other. The material of the edge joists is capable of being attracted by magnets. Some types of edge joists have a height difference between their first and second side plates.

[0003] To facilitate transportation, the side ribs need to be fastened, stacked, and then packaged. During the fastening process, two side ribs are grouped together, and the two side ribs in the same group are fastened together, forming an approximate cuboid structure. The structure formed by fastening two side ribs together constitutes a side rib group. The stacking process involves piling several side rib groups together to facilitate subsequent packaging.

[0004] A drive cylinder refers to one of the following: a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder. Drive cylinders are used for lifting or sliding operations. A drive cylinder consists of a cylinder body and a rod slidably connected within the cylinder body. One of these components, the cylinder body and the rod, is referred to as component A of the drive cylinder, and the other as component B. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated stacking mechanism for edge bone assemblies, used for automated stacking of edge bone assemblies.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] An automated stacking mechanism for edge ribs includes an edge rib conveying assembly, a lifting assembly, and a limiting assembly; the lifting assembly is disposed at the end of the edge rib conveying assembly and is vertically oriented; the limiting assembly includes a limiting rod that is vertically oriented.

[0008] The beneficial effect is that it enables automated stacking of the edge skeletons, which helps improve the efficiency of automated stacking of the edge skeletons.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a material pulling assembly, which is located above the lifting assembly. The material pulling assembly includes a material pulling frame and a first drive cylinder. The material pulling frame is slidably connected to the frame in the front-to-back direction, and the first drive cylinder is arranged in the up-down direction. The A part of the first drive cylinder is fixedly connected to the material pulling frame, and the B part of the first drive cylinder is arranged downwards.

[0010] The beneficial effect is that it facilitates the backward pulling action of the newly placed side bone group, thereby ensuring the tightness of the side bone group arrangement.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a primary receiving assembly, which is located behind the side bone group conveying assembly. The primary receiving assembly includes a fork plate that is slidably connected to the frame in the front-rear direction.

[0012] The beneficial effects are: it is used to temporarily support the first layer of side bone groups that are being arranged, thereby isolating them from the already stacked side bone groups, avoiding any impact on the already stacked side bone groups, and improving the neatness of the stacking work.

[0013] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a lifting frame, a second drive cylinder, a connecting frame, and at least two guide rods. The lifting frame is slidably connected to the frame in the vertical direction. The A component of the second drive cylinder is mounted on the lifting frame. Each guide rod is slidably connected to the lifting frame in the front-back direction. The front end of the B component of the second drive cylinder is fixed to the connecting frame. The outer end of each guide rod is fixed to the connecting frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects are: firstly, it can be flexibly applied to the stacking action of material piles of different widths; secondly, it can also provide stability for stacking and lifting.

[0015] Furthermore, the side bone assembly conveying component is inclined in a manner that is lower in the front and higher in the back, and a guide component is provided between the side bone and the lifting component.

[0016] The beneficial effect is that it can prevent misalignment between two side bones in the conveyed side bone group, ensuring the neatness of the stacking process. This is especially suitable for stacking side bones with different side plate widths.

[0017] Furthermore, the side bone assembly conveying component includes a conveyor, which includes a driving sprocket, a driven sprocket, and a chain disposed between the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket. The chain is provided with a plurality of chain plates. The guiding component includes a guide platform, which includes an inclined guide surface and a horizontal guide surface located behind the inclined guide surface.

[0018] The beneficial effects are: it helps to improve the conveying efficiency, while preventing misalignment of two interlocking side bones in the conveyed side bone group.

[0019] Furthermore, a buffer brush is provided above the guide platform, and the buffer brush is located above the junction of the inclined guide surface and the horizontal guide surface.

[0020] The beneficial effect is that it prevents misalignment of the two side bones that are fastened together during the turning process of the side bone group. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In the description of this invention, the parts that remain fixed throughout the operation of this invention will be collectively referred to as the frame.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the side rib includes a base plate 81, a first side plate 82, and a second side plate 83. The first side plate 82 and the second side plate 83 are distributed on both sides of the base plate 81. The first side plate 82 is perpendicular to the base plate, and the second side plate 83 is perpendicular to the base plate. The first side plate 82 and the second side plate 83 are parallel. The side rib assembly is formed by fastening two side ribs of the above structure together with one facing upwards and the other downwards.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, an automated stacking mechanism for edge bone assemblies includes an edge bone assembly conveying component, a lifting component 2, and a limiting component. The lifting component 2 is located at the end of the edge bone assembly conveying component and is vertically oriented. The limiting component includes a limiting rod 3, which is vertically oriented and its upper end is fixed to the frame. The edge bone assembly conveying component is used to convey edge bone assemblies that need to be stacked. Two conveyors 6 can be used as the edge bone assembly conveying component. Each conveyor 6 includes a drive sprocket 61, a driven sprocket 62, and a chain 63 disposed between the drive sprocket 61 and the driven sprocket 62. The chain 63 is provided with several chain plates 64. A main shaft 65 is connected between the drive sprockets 61 of the two conveyors, and the main shaft 65 is driven to rotate by a power device. The side bone conveying assembly provided in this invention conveys the side bone assembly by rotating the chain 63 to drive the chain plate 64 to rotate cyclically. The side bone assembly is placed between two chains, with the side of one of the side bones resting against the chain plate 64. The chain plate 64 then moves and conveys the side bone assembly. During this conveying process, due to the inertia of the side bone assembly, the side of one of the side bones rests against the chain plate 64, which helps to keep the two side bones in a locked state and avoids misalignment of the two side bones due to conveying problems.

[0034] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, this invention can be used for automated stacking of side bone assemblies. The principle of stacking side bone assemblies is as follows: the side bone conveying assembly transports the side bone assemblies. The side bone assemblies transported by the side bone conveying assembly can be directly stacked on the lifting assembly 2. Under the conveying force of the side bone conveying assembly, the side bone assembly that just arrived on the lifting assembly pushes the previous side bone assembly that arrived on the lifting assembly, thereby arranging the side bone assemblies on the lifting assembly in one layer. When one layer is full, the lifting assembly descends to arrange the side bone assemblies for another layer. This completes the automated stacking of side bone assemblies. The function of the limiting rod 3 is to control the position of the last side of the stack—ensuring the neatness of the last side of the side bone assemblies stacked.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the lifting assembly in this invention, the lifting assembly 2 includes a lifting frame 21, a second drive cylinder 22, a connecting frame 23, and two guide rods 24, which are arranged in the same horizontal direction. The lifting frame 21 is slidably connected to the frame 1 in the vertical direction, and the A component of the second drive cylinder 22 is mounted on the lifting frame 21. Each guide rod 24 is slidably connected to the lifting frame 21 in the front-rear direction, and the front end of the B component of the second drive cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 23. The outer ends of each guide rod 24 are also fixedly connected to the connecting frame 23. Multiple sets of such lifting assemblies 2 are arranged on the frame to provide a stable lifting effect for the stacking of side ribs. The technical solution of the lifting component 2 provided in this invention is beneficial for improving its load-bearing capacity and ensuring its smooth sliding. Simultaneously, the front-to-back position of the connecting frame 23 can be controlled by the second drive cylinder 22, which in turn controls the distance the guide rod 24 extends forward relative to the limiting rod 3. This allows for flexible adjustment of the stacking width, making it suitable for stacking operations of different widths. When lifting the side bone assembly, the length direction of the side bone assembly is perpendicular to the guide rod, and the lowermost side bone contacts the surface of the guide rod 24.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the present invention also includes a material pulling assembly 4, which is located above the lifting assembly 2. The material pulling assembly 4 includes a material pulling frame 41 and a first drive cylinder 42. The material pulling frame 41 is slidably connected to the frame 1 in the front-to-back direction. The first drive cylinder 42 is arranged in the vertical direction, with part A of the first drive cylinder 42 fixed to the material pulling frame 41 and part B of the first drive cylinder 42 facing downward. Multiple sets of material pulling assemblies 4 are arranged on the frame along the length of the side bone group. The material pulling assembly 4 can pull the side bone group that reaches the front of the lifting assembly backward. The pulling action is as follows: the lower end of part B of the first drive cylinder 42 moves to the front of the side bone group that needs to be pulled, and then the material pulling frame 41 slides backward, thereby pulling the side bone group backward. By setting up the material pulling assembly, it is beneficial to tighten the top layer of side bone groups, thereby improving the tightness of the stacking operation. At the same time, it can also prevent the misalignment of the fastened side bones.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, the side bone group conveying assembly is inclined in a front-low, rear-high manner, that is, the two sets of conveyors 6 in this embodiment are arranged in a front-low, rear-high manner. The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that during the conveying process of the side bone group, each side of the side bone is tilted at a certain angle. This tilting angle is conducive to the side bone group's gravity generating a component force opposite to the conveying direction in the conveying direction. This component force is conducive to the side bone group closely resting on the chain plate 64, and at the same time, it can also prevent the two side bones in the same side bone group that are fastened together from misalignment, thereby ensuring the neatness of the stacking work. A guide assembly is provided between the side bone and the lifting assembly 2. The guide assembly is used to guide the side bone group from the inclined conveying to the horizontal conveying, thereby facilitating the movement of the side bone group onto the lifting assembly. As a preferred embodiment of the guide assembly, the guide assembly includes a guide platform 7, which includes an inclined guide surface 71 and a horizontal guide surface 72 located behind the inclined guide surface 71. A smooth metal part is used as the guide platform 7. A buffer brush is located above the guide platform 7, at the junction of the inclined guide surface 71 and the horizontal guide surface 72. A buffer brush is a brush with a certain buffering effect, such as a bristle brush, rubber brush, or silicone brush. The function of the buffer brush is to address the issue that when the side rib assembly changes from inclined to horizontal movement, the side ribs actually rotate. This rotation, due to the inertia of the side ribs, causes relative movement between the two interlocking side ribs, leading to misalignment. The buffer brush effectively solves this technical problem.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the present invention also includes a primary receiving assembly, located behind the side rib conveying assembly. The primary receiving assembly includes a fork plate 5 slidably connected to the frame 1 in the front-rear direction. As a stacking technology solution of the present invention equipped with the primary receiving assembly, the side ribs conveyed to the rear end of the side rib conveying assembly first fall onto the fork plate 5, and then a layer of side ribs is arranged on the fork plate 5. When the number of side ribs on the fork plate 5 reaches the required amount, the fork plate 5 slides backward, and the rear side of this layer of side ribs is pushed forward by the limiting rod 3, thereby pushing this layer of side ribs onto the stack located on the lifting assembly 2, thus realizing the stacking operation. A guide ramp is provided on the upper side of the front end of the fork plate 5. The primary receiving assembly can avoid affecting the stacking when arranging the topmost side ribs, thus helping to ensure the neatness of the stack.
