Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of segment reinforcement cages, and in particular to a segment reinforcement cage translation mechanism. Background Art

[0002] When casting pipe segments now, there are various ways to put the steel cage into the mold. The most common way is to place the steel cage next to the mold and use a crane to randomly take it. In this way, the stacking of the steel cage will be very messy, and the retrieval will be very random. It will also occupy the workshop crane, and when taking it, it is necessary to use the crane to travel back and forth over long distances multiple times, which wastes a lot of time and greatly reduces the overall work efficiency.

[0003] The steel cage translation mechanism effectively solves these problems. The mechanism can be used as needed, taken at a fixed point, and the rhythm is reasonably controlled, thereby improving the overall work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a segment reinforcement cage translation mechanism to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present application discloses a translation mechanism for a segment reinforcement cage, comprising a base, a translation station, a retrieval station, a slide rail, and a translation support mechanism. The base is provided with several translation stations and one retrieval station, and brackets are provided on both sides of the translation station and the retrieval station. The slide rail is provided in the middle of the base, and a translation support mechanism is provided in the translation station.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0017] (1) Through the design of the translation support mechanism, the segment steel cage on the corresponding bracket can be supported and the segment steel cage on the bracket can be translated.

When the columnar grasper extends into the gap of the pipe segment reinforcement cage, it can no longer rotate. At this time, the torque sensor detects that the torque is too large and controls the motor to stop working, thereby enabling the pipe segment reinforcement cage to be grasped stably, thereby increasing safety.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] See Figures 1 to 11 An embodiment of the present invention provides a segment reinforcement cage translation mechanism, comprising a base 1, a translation station 5, a taking station 501, a slide rail 3, and a translation support mechanism 2.

[0039] The translation support mechanism 2 also includes an airbag assembly 220, which includes a plurality of airbag bases 221 fixedly arranged above the sliding seat 201. The airbag base 221 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 201. An expansion airbag 222 is provided on the airbag base 221. The expansion airbag 222 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. An airbag top cover 223 is provided on the top of the expansion airbag 222.

[0041] The number of the translation support mechanisms 2 is 2 to 8, and the number of the brackets 7 is 3 to 10. The number of the brackets 7 is always greater than the number of the translation support mechanisms 2.

[0042] The connection modes between adjacent translation support mechanisms 2 include pin-slot connection, bolt connection and welding.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] See Figures 12-13 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a gripping device is provided on the storage rack 202, and the gripping device includes a columnar gripper 6 that is rotatably and symmetrically arranged on the storage rack 202, and the columnar gripper 6 includes a disk 604 and a plurality of fixing rods 605, and the fixing rods 605 are evenly arranged on the disk 604.

[0045] A gripper shaft 601 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the columnar gripper 6, and a motor 602 is symmetrically and fixedly installed on the storage rack 202. The output shaft of the motor 602 is dynamically connected to the gripper shaft 601. A torque sensor 603 is provided on the gripper shaft 601, and the torque sensor 603 is electrically connected to the motor 602.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the translation support mechanism 2 includes a plurality of support cylinders fixedly arranged above the sliding seat 201, the telescopic ends of the support cylinders are fixedly connected to the storage racks 202, and the segment reinforcement cage is provided above the storage racks 202.

[0048] Example 4

[0049] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a telescopic column 702 is slidably provided on the side wall of the vertical column 701, a sliding groove is provided on the side wall where the vertical column 701 contacts the telescopic column 702, and the telescopic column 702 is fixedly connected to the vertical column 701 by bolts on the sliding groove.

[0050] The rebar cage translation mechanism is located at the top of the steam-curing kiln. Multiple stations can be designed based on the actual length of the kiln. As shown in the figure, four stations are designed. During idle time, a crane is used to lift the rebar cage to the 3 / 4 position, with 1-2 layers available depending on customer needs. During operation, this mechanism can translate the rebar cage to the 1 / 2 position. Typically, an electric hoist is used at station 1 to lift the rebar cage to the production line's rebar cage mold insertion position. Station 2 serves as a backup.

[0051] Working process of the present invention:

[0052] In the initial state of the segment reinforcement cage translation mechanism of the present invention, the translation cylinder 4 is in an extended state, each translation station 5 has a translation support mechanism 2, and the airbag is in a contracted state;

[0053] The staff places the segment reinforcement cage above a pair of brackets 7 of the translation station 5 farthest from the cylinder, and then inflates the expansion airbag. The expansion airbag expands, driving the storage rack 202 to move upward, and at the same time starting the motor 602, driving the output shaft to rotate, thereby driving the gripper shaft 601 to rotate, and then driving the columnar gripper 6 to rotate. When the fixing rod 605 of the columnar gripper 6 rotates to the point where it can extend into the pores in the segment reinforcement cage, the segment reinforcement cage will fall due to the action of gravity and be fixed by the columnar gripper 6. At the same time, the columnar gripper 6 is stuck in the pores of the segment reinforcement cage and cannot continue to rotate. The torque sensor 603 on the gripper shaft 601 detects that the torque exceeds the threshold value and controls the motor 602 to stop.

[0054] Then, the translation cylinder 4 is controlled to retract, driving all the translation support mechanisms 2 to move on the slide rail 3 toward the translation cylinder 4. The translation support mechanism 2 slides on the slide rail 3 through the pulley under the sliding seat 201. When the translation cylinder 4 drives the translation support mechanism 2 to move to the next workstation, the expansion airbag is deflated and contracted, and gravity drives the storage rack 202 to move downward. The segment reinforcement cage moves downward with the storage rack 202, and is supported by the support 7 after contacting the support 7, and no longer falls. The columnar gripper 6 continues to move downward with the storage rack 202, and leaves the pores of the segment reinforcement cage. At this point, the translation operation of the segment reinforcement cage is completed.

[0055] Then the translation cylinder 4 extends out, driving all the translation support mechanisms 2 to move away from the translation cylinder 4. The translation support mechanisms 2 slide on the slide rail 3 through the pulley under the sliding seat 201. When the translation cylinder 4 drives the translation support mechanism 2 to move to the next workstation, it stops and waits for the next transportation.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
