Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ceramic block production equipment, and particularly relates to a ceramic block directional palletizing and boxing machine. Background Art

[0002] Ceramic blocks have a wide range of applications in industry and can be used to manufacture various materials such as electrical insulation devices and solid-state lasers. On a ceramic block production line, after the ceramic powder is pressed into blocks, the ceramic blocks are easily damaged by force, resulting in defects such as chipped corners and scattered pieces. Therefore, the pressed ceramic blocks need to be boxed for subsequent firing processes to enhance various physical properties of the ceramic blocks.

[0003] Before firing, multiple ceramic blocks need to be grouped in a fixed quantity and placed in a material box. Currently, there is no suitable way to automatically load the ceramic blocks into the material box. In addition, the orientation of the ceramic blocks in the material box also affects the firing effect, specifically in terms of changing the heated surface of the ceramic blocks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. For this purpose, the present invention provides a ceramic block directional palletizing and boxing machine, which can push and load the ceramic blocks into the material box in a specific orientation, and the side of the ceramic block faces the opening of the material box, with high space utilization rate of the material box.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the ceramic block directional palletizing and boxing machine includes: a manipulator for picking up ceramic blocks, the manipulator being connected to a driving platform that can drive the manipulator to move in space;

[0006] a bearing plate for vertically stacking and placing ceramic blocks, the bearing plate being horizontally arranged and within the reach of the manipulator;

Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0041] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in, a ceramic block orientation palletizing and boxing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a manipulator 100. The manipulator 100 is used to pick up ceramic blocks. The manipulator 100 is connected to a driving platform 110, and the driving platform 110 can drive the manipulator 100 to move in space;

[0042] A bearing plate 200, the bearing plate 200 is used for vertically stacking ceramic blocks. The bearing plate 200 is horizontally arranged and is within the reach of the manipulator 100;

[0043] A first guiding and driving device 300, the first guiding and driving device 300 has a guiding stroke in the horizontal direction. The first guiding and driving device 300 is connected to the bearing plate 200 to drive the bearing plate 200 to move along its guiding stroke;

[0044] The flipping device 400 is arranged on the extended line of the guiding stroke of the first guiding and driving device 300. The flipping device 400 has a clamping position for placing the cartridge. The flipping device 400 can drive the cartridge to flip towards the direction where the bearing plate 200 is located, so that the opening of the cartridge faces and approaches the bearing plate 200.

[0045] The material blocking device 500 is erected above the guiding stroke of the first guiding and driving device 300 to block the ceramic blocks from horizontally moving together with the bearing plate 200.

[0046] The positioning camera 600 is erected above the position where the manipulator 100 picks up the ceramic blocks to identify the placement direction of the ceramic blocks.

[0047] The positioning camera 600 can identify the state of the ceramic blocks 800, such as the position and orientation. The positioning camera 600 can use a CCD camera. The positioning camera 600 first identifies the position and direction of the ceramic blocks 800, and then the driving platform 110 controls the manipulator 100 to pick up the ceramic blocks 800 and stack them vertically on the surface of the bearing plate 200 in a preset orientation, waiting to be pushed into the cartridge 900. The stacking orientations of the ceramic blocks 800 are all the same. The flipping device 400 has a clamping position for placing the cartridge 900. The empty cartridge 900 can be placed in the clamping position and flipped with the flipping device 400 until the bottom surface of the cartridge 900 forms an angle of nearly 90 degrees with the horizontal plane. The opening of the cartridge 900 faces the bearing plate 200 and the ceramic blocks 800 to be pushed. The flipping device 400 further drives the cartridge 900 to move closer to the ceramic blocks 800, so that the bearing plate 200 and the ceramic blocks 800 extend into the cartridge 900 and the bearing plate 200 is in a stationary state.

[0048] The flipping device 400 is arranged on the extended line of the guiding stroke of the first guiding and driving device 300, so the first guiding and driving device 300 can also actively drive the bearing plate 200 away from the flipping device 400 and the cartridge 900. When the bearing plate 200 and the ceramic blocks 800 are inside the cartridge 900, the first guiding and driving device 300 can drive the bearing plate 200 away from the cartridge 900. During the process of moving away from the cartridge 900, the ceramic blocks 800 are blocked by the material blocking device 500 and remain inside the cartridge 900, and the bearing plate 200 is withdrawn, completing the operation of loading the ceramic blocks 800 into the cartridge. At this time, the ceramic blocks 800 face the opening of the cartridge 900 sideways, which can maximize the use of the space of the cartridge 900.

[0049] Refer to Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that a pair of conveyor belts 700 for transporting the cartridges are provided on one side of the flipping device 400. The two conveyor belts 700 transport in opposite directions. A slide rail 710 is erected above the flipping device 400 and the conveyor belts 700. A second driving cylinder 720 is connected to the slide rail 710. The second driving cylinder 720 can move between the flipping device 400 and the conveyor belts 700 along the guiding stroke of the slide rail 710. The second driving cylinder 720 is drivingly connected to a clamping device 730 for clamping the cartridge and can vertically drive the clamping device 730 to move.

[0050] The two conveyor belts 700 can be used to transport the empty cartridges 900 and the cartridges 900 filled with ceramic blocks 800. After the empty cartridge 900 is transported by the conveyor belt 700 moving towards the slide rail 710, it is picked up by the clamping device 730, then moved above the flipping device 400, and the empty cartridge 900 is placed in the clamping position. After the cartridge 900 is filled with the ceramic block 800, it is picked up by the clamping device 730 and moved and placed on the other conveyor belt 700 to be sent away. The second driving cylinder 720 moves on the slide rail 710, driving the clamping device 730 to move back and forth between the conveyor belts 700 and the flipping device 400. When the clamping device 730 is above the conveyor belts 700 or the flipping device 400, the second driving cylinder 720 drives the clamping device 730 to move downward to contact and clamp the cartridge 900 or place the cartridge 900.

[0051] Referring to Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the flipping device 400 includes a second guiding and driving device 410, a support plate 420, a rotating plate 430, and a first power device 440. The second guiding and driving device 410 has a guiding stroke of approaching or departing from the bearing plate 200. The support plate 420 is connected to the second guiding and driving device 410 to move along its guiding stroke. The rotating plate 430 is arranged on the support plate 420, and one end of the rotating plate 430 close to the bearing plate 200 is hinged to the support plate 420. The rotating plate 430 has a clamping position for placing the cartridge. The first power device 440 is drivingly connected to the rotating plate 430 to drive the rotating plate 430 to rotate around the hinge point.

[0052] The empty cartridge 900 is placed on the clamping position of the rotating plate 430. The first power device 440 drives the rotating plate 430 to rotate around the hinge point, from the horizontal state to an approximately vertical state, that is, the bottom surface of the cartridge 900 forms an approximate 90-degree angle with the horizontal plane. Then the second guiding and driving device 410 drives the support plate 420 to move towards the bearing plate 200, so that the cartridge 900 moves towards the bearing plate 200 together until the bearing plate 200 and the ceramic block 800 above are inside the cartridge 900. To keep the ceramic block 800 inside the cartridge 900, the first guiding and driving device 300 needs to drive the bearing plate 200 away from the cartridge 900. During the process of moving away from the cartridge 900, the ceramic block 800 is blocked by the material blocking device 500 and remains inside the cartridge 900, and the bearing plate 200 is withdrawn. After the ceramic block 800 is loaded into the cartridge 900, the first power device 440 drives the rotating plate 430 to reset and flip, so that the cartridge 900 returns to the horizontal state, and the ceramic block 800 is neatly placed in the cartridge 900 with its side facing the opening of the cartridge 900.

[0053] Referring to Figure 6 As shown, it can be understood that the first guiding and driving device 300 includes a first guide rail 310 and a first driving cylinder 320. The first guide rail 310 is horizontally arranged, and the first driving cylinder 320 has a first piston rod 330 for cooperative transmission. A vertically arranged first mounting plate 340 is connected to the first guide rail 310. The extending end of the first piston rod 330 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 340 to drive the first mounting plate 340 to move along the guiding stroke of the first guide rail 310, and the bearing plate 200 is horizontally connected to the surface of the first mounting plate 340.

[0054] The first driving cylinder 320 has a first piston rod 330 for cooperative transmission. The first driving cylinder 320 can adopt pneumatic transmission or hydraulic transmission. By controlling the flow direction of gas or liquid, the moving direction of the first piston rod 330 can be controlled. The extending end of the first piston rod 330 is connected to the first mounting plate 340, and the bearing plate 200 is horizontally connected to the surface of the first mounting plate 340, that is, the power is transmitted to the bearing plate 200 to make it move along the first guide rail 310, realizing approaching or moving away from the cartridge 900.

[0055] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it can be understood that the first mounting plate 340 is provided with a third guide rail 350 and a second power device 360. The third guide rail 350 has a vertical guiding stroke, the bearing plate 200 is connected to the third guide rail 350, and the second power device 360 is in transmission connection with the bearing plate 200 to drive the bearing plate 200 to move along the guiding stroke of the third guide rail 350.

[0056] The second power device 360 drives the bearing plate 200 to move along the guiding stroke of the third guide rail 350, that is, the bearing plate 200 can be adjusted in the vertical direction. After a layer of ceramic blocks 800 is placed on the surface of the bearing plate 200, the second power device 360 can drive the bearing plate 200 to move downward by a certain distance, facilitating the placement of the second layer of ceramic blocks 800, and stacking upward until multiple layers of ceramic blocks 800 are placed. For example, a manipulator is used to grab the ceramic blocks 800 and place them on the bearing plate 200. After the ceramic blocks 800 are placed, the bearing plate 200 moves downward to create a vacant position, which can optimize the movement programming of the manipulator and eliminate the need for the manipulator to move in the vertical direction.

[0057] Referring to Figure 7 As shown, it can be understood that the second power device 360 includes a second motor 361, two belt pulleys 362 of the same size, and a transmission belt 363. The second motor 361 is fixed on the first mounting plate 340, and its output shaft is connected to the belt pulley 362. The other belt pulley 362 is arranged on the first mounting plate 340. The central connection line of the two belt pulleys 362 is parallel to the guiding stroke of the third guide rail 350. The transmission belt 363 is connected to the two belt pulleys 362, and the bearing plate 200 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission belt 363.

[0058] The transmission belt 363 is connected to two belt pulleys 362 of the same size, and both sides of the transmission belt 363 can be parallel to each other. At the same time, the central connection line of the two belt pulleys 362 is parallel to the guiding stroke of the third guide rail 350, that is, one side of the transmission belt 363 is also parallel to the guiding stroke of the third guide rail 350. The bearing plate 200 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission belt 363, so that the bearing plate 200 can move along the guiding stroke of the third guide rail 350 in the vertical direction with the movement of the transmission belt 363.

[0059] Referring to Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood that a limiting platform 210 is also provided. The limiting platform 210 is arranged below the bearing plate 200. A plurality of limiting rods 220 are vertically arranged on the limiting platform 210. The limiting rods 220 are arranged in parallel at intervals. The limiting rods 220 pass through the bearing plate 200 and extend above the bearing plate 200. A receiving groove for placing ceramic blocks is jointly formed between the limiting rods 220 and the bearing plate 200. The limiting platform 210 is connected with a third guiding and driving device 230, and the third guiding and driving device 230 has a vertical guiding stroke. The third guiding and driving device 230 can drive the limiting rods 220 to drop below the bearing plate 200.

[0060] The limit platform 210 and the limit rod 220 first move to the upper limit position of the guiding stroke of the third guiding and driving device 230. At this time, the bearing plate 200 is also at the upper limit position of the guiding stroke of the third guide rail 350. The limit rod 220 passes through the bearing plate 200 upward, and a receiving groove for placing ceramic blocks is jointly formed between the limit rod 220 and the bearing plate 200. The ceramic block 800 is placed in the receiving groove and is supported by the bearing plate 200. After placing one layer of ceramic blocks 800, the bearing plate 200 moves downward, and then the next layer of ceramic blocks 800 can be placed. The ceramic blocks 800 are always in the receiving groove. Due to the existence of the limit rod 220, the stacked ceramic blocks 800 will not tilt and collapse. After the ceramic blocks 800 are stacked to an appropriate number and height, the limit platform 210 drives the limit rod 220 to move downward away from the bearing plate 200, so that the limit rod 220 is completely below the bearing plate 200. The flipping device 400 can then drive the material box 900 to flip and move towards the bearing plate 200, thereby completing the operation of loading the ceramic blocks 800 into the box.

[0061] Refer to Figure 9 As shown, it can be understood that the material blocking device 500 includes a third driving cylinder 510 and a material blocking plate 520. The material blocking plate 520 is vertically arranged and perpendicular to the guiding stroke of the first guiding and driving device 300. The material blocking plate 520 is located above the bearing plate 200. The third driving cylinder 510 has a second piston rod 530 for cooperative transmission. The extending end of the second piston rod 530 is fixedly connected to the material blocking plate 520, and the moving direction of the second piston rod 530 is parallel to the guiding stroke of the first guiding and driving device 300.

[0062] The material blocking plate 520 is vertically arranged and perpendicular to the guiding stroke of the first guiding and driving device 300, that is, when the bearing plate 200 moves along the guiding stroke of the first guiding and driving device 300 to move away from the material box 900, the material blocking plate 520 can block the ceramic blocks 800 on the bearing plate 200 from following the movement, so that the ceramic blocks 800 remain in the material box 900. The material blocking plate 520 is connected to the second piston rod 530 and is driven by the third driving cylinder 510 to extend or retract the second piston rod 530. When placing the ceramic blocks 800, the third driving cylinder 510 drives the second piston rod 530 to retract, so that the material blocking plate 520 is as far away from the ceramic blocks 800 as possible to avoid interfering with the placement operation of the ceramic blocks 800. Only when loading into the box is required, before the bearing plate 200 moves away from the material box 900, the third driving cylinder 510 drives the second piston rod 530 to extend, and the material blocking plate 520 contacts but does not push the ceramic blocks 800.

[0063] Refer to Figure 9As shown, it can be understood that a fourth guiding and driving device 450 is horizontally provided. A second mounting plate 460 is connected to the fourth guiding and driving device 450. The guiding stroke of the fourth guiding and driving device 450 is perpendicular to the guiding stroke of the first guiding and driving device 300. A turnover device 400 is connected to the second mounting plate 460 to move along the guiding stroke of the fourth guiding and driving device 450 together with the second mounting plate 460. There are also two groups of bearing plates 200 and the first guiding and driving device 300. The direction in which the bearing plates 200 are arranged and distributed is parallel to the guiding stroke of the fourth guiding and driving device 450.

[0064] There are two groups of bearing plates 200 and the first guiding and driving device 300. The direction in which the bearing plates 200 are arranged and distributed is parallel to the guiding stroke of the fourth guiding and driving device 450, forming a double-station for boxing ceramic blocks 800. The second mounting plate 460 drives the turnover device 400 to move along the guiding stroke of the fourth guiding and driving device 450 to realize the switching of double stations. After the ceramic blocks 800 on one bearing plate 200 are stacked, the turnover device 400 can drive the material box 900 to turn over to receive the ceramic blocks 800, and at the same time, continue to stack and place the ceramic blocks 800 on the other bearing plate 200, greatly improving the efficiency.

[0065] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art.
