[0055] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0056] Example One

[0057] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, the present application provides an automatic drill changing system, comprising: a steel drill storage line 1, a saddle seat conveying line 2, a drill changing manipulator 3, the steel drill storage line 1 is suitable for storing and conveying steel drills; the saddle seat conveying line 2 is arranged on one side of the steel drill storage line 1, the saddle seat conveying line 2 has a drill changing position, the saddle seat conveying line 2 is suitable for receiving and conveying a saddle seat 21 with a steel drill inserted; the drill changing manipulator 3 is arranged corresponding to the steel drill storage line 1 and the saddle seat conveying line 2, the drill changing manipulator 3 is suitable for clamping the steel drill on the saddle seat 21 at the drill changing position and placing it on the steel drill storage line 1, or clamping the steel drill on the steel drill storage line 1 and placing it on the saddle seat 21 at the drill changing position, and the drill changing manipulator 3 can insert the clamped steel drill into the steel drill storage line 1 and / or the saddle seat 21 after adjusting the spacing of the clamped steel drill.

[0058] The automatic drill changing system provided by the embodiment can change the number of steel drills and adjust the spacing of the steel drills between the saddle seat conveying line and the steel drill storage line by the drill changing manipulator, so that the automatic drill changing can be realized without manual adjustment of the number of steel drills or the spacing of the steel drills, the efficiency is higher, and the labor cost is lower.

[0059] Further, the steel drill storage line 1 is provided with a drill carrying beam 11 at equal intervals, the drill carrying beam 11 is provided with drill holes, the steel drill storage line 1 has drill taking positions for taking and placing the steel drills, and the drill changing manipulator 3 takes the steel drills from the drill carrying beam 11 at the preset drill taking positions or places the excess steel drills back on the drill carrying beam 11 for temporary storage. The steel drills are stored on the steel drill storage line 1, and after the steel drills are loaded once, the subsequent drill changing system automatically changes the drills without manual adjustment of the positions of the steel drills. The saddle seat conveying line 2 receives the saddle seat 21 detached from the saddle frame by the manipulator of the previous station, continuously conveys the saddle seat 21 to the drill changing position 20, and when the production specification is switched and the corresponding drill changing is required, the drill changing manipulator 3 changes the drills at the drill changing position 20.

[0060] Specifically, the saddle seat conveying line 2 is used to receive the saddle seat 21 detached from the saddle frame and convey the saddle seat 21 to the preset drill changing position 20 or a flow transfer position. The spacing and number of the old steel drills inserted in the saddle seat 21 are adapted to the specification of the previous batch of plates. If the specification of the plates produced in the next batch is not switched, the saddle seat 21 can be directly transferred to the next process by the saddle seat manipulator after being conveyed to the preset flow transfer position. If the specification of the plates produced in the next batch is changed, the saddle seat 21 is conveyed to the preset drill changing position 20, the drill changing manipulator 3 increases or reduces the number of steel drills and adjusts the spacing of the steel drills according to the production requirement to meet the production requirement of the batch of plates, so that the automatic drill changing without manual participation is realized.

[0061] Optionally, the flow transfer position and the drill changing position 20 of the saddle seat conveying line 2 can be different positions or the same position. Preferably, the saddle seats 21 are all transferred to the drill changing position 20, that is, the flow transfer position and the drill changing position 20 are the same position, the drill changing manipulator 3 changes the drills at the position when the drill changing is required, and the saddle seat 21 is directly moved to the next process by the saddle seat manipulator when the drill changing is not required.

[0062] Further, the drill changing manipulator 3 includes a manipulator body 31, the manipulator body 31 includes a fixing seat 312, a plurality of clamps 311, and a spacing adjusting driving mechanism 314. The clamps 311 are arranged on the fixing seat 312 and sequentially arranged along the length direction of the fixing seat 312, and the clamps 311 are suitable for taking and placing the steel drills. The spacing adjusting driving mechanism 314 is arranged on the fixing seat 312 and is used to adjust the spacing of the clamps 311 to adjust the spacing of the steel drills clamped on the clamps 311.

[0063] When the specification of the pre-produced plate is switched, the drill changing robot 3 can change the number of steel drills between the saddle seat conveying line 2 and the steel drill storage line 1, and can be re-inserted into the saddle seat 21 after adjusting the spacing of the steel drills on the adjusting clamp 311, realizing full-automatic drill changing, without the need for manual increase or decrease of the number of steel drills or adjustment of the spacing of the steel drills, higher efficiency and lower labor cost.

[0064] In the above scheme, as shown in Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the clamp 311 includes two oppositely arranged clamping jaws 31101, and a clamping jaw driving cylinder 31102 for driving the two clamping jaws 31101 to approach or move away from each other to realize clamping or releasing the steel drills. The fixed seat 312 includes a long strip-shaped fixed plate, and a plurality of clamps 311 are arranged on one side of the fixed plate in the length direction of the fixed plate.

[0065] Optionally, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the drill changing robot 3 further includes an equidistant linkage mechanism 313, which is adapted to link each clamp 311 to realize synchronous equidistant movement of each clamp 311.

[0066] Specifically, the equidistant linkage mechanism 313 includes a plurality of scissor units sequentially hinged, the number of the scissor units is the same as the number of the clamps 311, and is arranged one-to-one. Further, the scissor unit includes two scissor rods 3131 which are crossed and hinged in the middle, the spacing of the cross hinge points 3132 in the middle of the plurality of scissor units is equal, and the plurality of clamps 311 are connected one-to-one with the plurality of cross hinge points 3132; the variable spacing driving mechanism 314 can drive the equidistant linkage mechanism 313 to expand or contract to drive the adjacent two clamps 311 to move away from or approach each other, thereby adjusting the spacing between each clamp 311. By arranging the equidistant linkage mechanism 313, not only can it realize synchronous equidistant movement of each clamp 311, which is convenient to control, but also can effectively ensure that the distance between each steel drill is equal, ensuring the quality of plate forming.

[0067] Optionally, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , along the length direction of the fixed seat 312, one side end of the two scissor rods 3131 of the middle scissor unit is hinged with the one side end of the two scissor rods 3131 of the adjacent previous scissor unit, and the other side end is hinged with the one side end of the two scissor rods 3131 of the adjacent next scissor unit, to realize the connection between each scissor unit.

[0068] Optionally, in the embodiment, the length and the angle of inclination of each scissor lever 3131 of the plurality of scissor units are the same.

[0069] Preferably, in order to avoid the end of the scissor lever 3131 of the scissor unit at both ends of the equidistant linkage 313 from protruding, interfering or scratching other components when unfolded, the length of the scissor lever 3131 of the scissor unit at both ends is set to be half of the length of the scissor lever 3131 of the scissor unit in the middle, and the ends of the two scissor levers 3131 are hinged to ensure that the distance between each clamp 311 is the same. In this way, not only can the scissor levers 3131 at both ends be prevented from protruding, interfering or scratching other components, but the occupied space of the whole manipulator can also be reduced. Figure 6 As shown in the drawings, in the embodiment, the length of the scissor lever 3131 of the scissor unit at both ends is set to be half of the length of the scissor lever 3131 of the scissor unit in the middle, and the ends of the two scissor levers 3131 are hinged to ensure that the distance between each clamp 311 is the same. In this way, not only can the scissor levers 3131 at both ends be prevented from protruding, interfering or scratching other components, but the occupied space of the whole manipulator can also be reduced.

[0070] Further, as shown in the drawings, in the above scheme, the two hinge points connecting the two adjacent scissor units up and down, and the two hinge points connecting the two scissor units with the corresponding clamps 311, form a parallelogram. Figure 6

[0071] The steel rod spacing adjusting manipulator 3 provided by the embodiment adjusts the spacing of the steel rods by using the equidistant linkage 313 and the variable spacing driving mechanism 314, and after the spacing is adjusted, the spacing of each steel rod is consistent and has better consistency. The steel rod spacing adjusting manipulator 3 clamps the steel rods in the air to adjust the spacing, which is not easy to interfere with other components, is easy to operate, and does not need to improve the structure of the saddle seat 21 and the like to realize the spacing adjustment of each steel rod, so the improvement cost is lower.

Alternatively, the fixed clamp 3111 is arranged in the middle, the variable distance driving mechanism 314 is connected with one mobile clamp 3112 on one side of the fixed clamp 3111, so that the mobile clamps 3112 on both sides of the fixed clamp 3111 can be retracted or extended relative to the fixed clamp 3111 in the middle. The present embodiment does not limit the position of the fixed clamp 3111, and the fixed clamp 3111 can be arranged at the end position or any position between the two end positions.

By adopting the above design, the equal-distance synchronous movement of each clamp 311 can be ensured, and the cost can be saved.

[0099] Example Two

[0100] In combination Figures 1 to 10 The embodiment further provides a steel drill changing method applied to the automatic steel drill changing system of the second embodiment, and the steel drill changing method comprises the following steps:

[0101] S10: receiving a specification switching signal of a pre-produced plate;

[0102] S20: controlling the saddle seat conveying line 2 to convey the saddle seat 21 with the steel drill inserted into a preset steel drill changing position 20;

[0103] S30: controlling the steel drill changing robot 3 to clamp the steel drill on the saddle seat 21 at the steel drill changing position and place the steel drill on the steel drill storage line 1 or clamp the steel drill on the steel drill storage line 1 and place the steel drill on the saddle seat 21 at the steel drill changing position.

[0104] The drill changing method provided by the embodiment is realized by using the automatic drill changing system of the first embodiment, so that the distance between each clamp 311 on the drill changing manipulator 3 can be automatically adjusted, and the automatic drill changing method for steel drill multiple removal and position adjustment using the drill changing manipulator 3.

[0105] Optionally, the step S10 comprises:

[0106] receiving a signal of switching the specification of the pre-produced plate from an original specification to a new specification;

[0107] judging parameter change information of the new specification, the parameter change information comprising: whether the number of steel drills required by the new specification is greater than the number of steel drills required by the original specification, and / or whether the distance between steel drills of the new specification is less than the distance between steel drills of the original specification.

[0108] When it is judged that the number of steel drills required by the new specification is greater than the number of steel drills required by the original specification, and / or the distance between steel drills of the new specification is less than the distance between steel drills of the original specification, the step S30 specifically comprises the following steps:

[0109] S3011: controlling the clamp 311 of the drill changing manipulator 3 to clamp all the original steel drills on the saddle seat 21, and adjusting the distance between the clamped steel drills;

[0110] S3012: the drill changing manipulator 3 reinserts the steel drills with the adjusted distance into the saddle seat 21;

[0111] S3013: the drill changing manipulator 3 clamps a set number of steel drills from the steel drill storage line 1 and inserts them into the saddle seat 21.

[0112] In the above step S3012, the drill changing manipulator 3 controls each clamp 311 to maintain the distance after the distance is adjusted, and then grasps new steel drills on the steel drill storage line 1 at the distance, so that the distance between the steel drills clamped by the drill changing manipulator 3 from the steel drill storage line 1 in step S3013 is the same as the distance between each steel drill after the distance is adjusted in step S3011, without the need for multiple distance adjustment, thereby simplifying the control steps.

[0113] Alternatively, in other alternative embodiments, in the step S3013, it is first judged whether the distance between the steel drills clamped on the steel drill storage line 1 meets the distance between steel drills of the new specification, if yes, the drill changing manipulator 3 directly clamps a set number of steel drills from the steel drill storage line 1 without distance adjustment and directly inserts them into the saddle seat 21, if not, the drill changing manipulator 3 clamps a set number of steel drills from the steel drill storage line 1, adjusts the distance and then inserts them into the saddle seat 21.

[0114] When it is judged that the number of steel drills required by the new specification is less than the number of steel drills required by the original specification, and / or the steel drill spacing of the new specification is greater than the steel drill spacing of the original specification, the step S30 specifically comprises the following steps:

[0115] S3021: The clamp 311 of the drill changing robot 3 clamps a set number of the steel drills from the saddle seat 21 and moves to the steel drill storage line 1 to temporarily store the excess steel drills.

[0116] S3022: The drill changing robot 3 grabs the remaining steel drills on the saddle seat 21 and adjusts the spacing of the grabbed steel drills.

[0117] S3023: The drill changing robot 3 reinserts the steel drills with adjusted spacing into the saddle seat 21.

[0118] After the drill changing is completed, the saddle seat robot moves the completed saddle seat 21 to the next process. Then the saddle seat conveying line 2 continues to move to the drill changing position 20 to convey the next saddle seat 21 to be changed to the drill changing position 20.

[0119] The present application provided in the embodiment can realize automatic drill changing after the steel drills are stored once, without manual intervention throughout the process, and has a higher degree of automation.

[0120] For the convenience of understanding, the above drill changing method is exemplified by the following implementation mode:

[0121] When the specification of the next batch of produced plates becomes smaller, such as switching from 200 plates to 100 plates, the number of required steel drills increases from 6 to 12, and the steel drill spacing decreases from 200 to 100. The drill changing robot 3 first grabs all the original 6 steel drills on the pre-drill changing saddle seat 21, adjusts the grabbed steel drills from 200 spacing to 100 spacing through its spacing changing function, and inserts the original 6 steel drills after walking to the new corresponding position. Then, the drill changing robot 3 walks to the drill taking position of the steel drill storage line 1 or the drill storage, grabs 6 new steel drills from the steel drill storage line 1 with a spacing of 100, or adjusts the spacing of the grabbed 6 new steel drills to 100, and then moves them to above the saddle seat 21, and finally inserts the new 6 steel drills.

[0122] When the next batch of production of the plate specification becomes larger, such as from 100 plates to 200 plates, the number of steel drills required is reduced from 12 to 6, and the steel drill spacing is increased from 100 to 200. The drill changing manipulator 3 first picks up the extra 6 steel drills, walks above the steel drill storage line 1 to store the extra steel drills. Then empty back to the saddle seat 21 above, pick up the remaining 6 steel drills, change the spacing of the picked up steel drills from 100 to 200 through the variable spacing function of itself, and then insert the 6 steel drills into the saddle seat 21.

[0123] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, "plate" refers to autoclaved aerated concrete plate applicable to the present drill changing system, and 200 / 100 refers to different width size specifications of aerated concrete plate. In the production of autoclaved aerated concrete plate, different specifications of plates require different steel drill spacings and numbers of steel drills to be produced, and there are set standards in the industry.
