Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of cutter ring processing application, and particularly relates to a multifunctional truss manipulator. BACKGROUND

[0002] The shield machine is mainly used for underground engineering, subway construction excavation, and tunnel construction of highways, railways, water and electricity engineering, etc. The cutter head of the shield machine is mainly installed with a rolling cutter and a scraper for excavation. The rolling cutter is mainly applied to hard rock and is installed on the cutter head. With the rotation of the cutter head, the rolling cutter revolves with the cutter head and rotates itself, and is pressed against the rock surface under the action of the cutter head thrust and torque. When the thrust exceeds the strength of the rock, the rock directly breaks and falls in the form of rock fragments.

[0003] Sand blasting is a process of cleaning and roughening the surface of the substrate by using the impact of high-speed sand flow. Compressed air is used as power to form a high-speed jet beam to spray the workpiece surface with the spray material (copper ore sand, quartz sand, emery, iron sand and Hainan sand) at high speed, so that the surface of the workpiece or the shape of the surface is changed. Due to the impact and cutting action of the abrasive on the workpiece surface, the surface of the workpiece obtains a certain cleanliness and different roughness, and the mechanical properties of the workpiece surface are improved.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Examples, such as Figs. 1-4 As shown, this embodiment aims to provide a feeding mechanism that can clamp both seamless steel pipes and hobbing cutter rings, thereby solving the technical problem that existing feeding mechanisms cannot clamp both.

[0025] Therefore, in order to achieve the above objectives, the multi-functional truss robot provided in this embodiment includes a square frame 1 set around the sandblasting conveyor and an X-axis traveling beam 11 set on the top of the square frame 1. In this embodiment, the square frame 1 includes four columns and a crossbeam set between the columns. Its long side direction is consistent with the movement direction of the sandblasting conveyor. In order to minimize the volume of the square frame 1, in this embodiment, one side of the square frame 1 is set close to the sandblasting conveyor. In this way, the distance between the other side and the sandblasting conveyor is increased, which facilitates the placement of seamless steel pipes or hobbing cutter ring blanks.

[0026] In the embodiment, the conveying direction of the sand blasting conveying frame is the X axis, and therefore, the X axis walking beams 11 are arranged on both sides of the sand blasting conveying frame, and the X axis walking beams 11 are common profiles. Considering that the seamless steel pipe is a long shaft structure, and the hob ring is disc-shaped, when the seamless steel pipe needs to be clamped, the two clamping mechanisms are far away from each other, the clamping mechanisms grab both ends of the seamless steel pipe, and the seamless steel pipe is loaded. When the hob ring needs to be clamped, the two clamping mechanisms are close to each other, and the hob ring is supported, and the hob ring is loaded. Therefore, the two clamping mechanisms need to move relative to or towards each other on the X axis, and therefore, two Y axis walking beams 2 are arranged between the two X axis walking beams 11 in the embodiment, the Y axis walking beams 2 are arranged along the X axis walking beams 11, and in order to realize the walking of the Y axis walking beams 2 along the X axis walking beams 11, the Y axis walking beams 2 are arranged between the two X axis walking beams 11 through walking mechanisms 3 in the embodiment. The walking mechanisms 3 include walking seats 31 fixed at both ends of the Y axis walking beams 2, and the walking seats 31 are designed in the shape of rectangular plates. Walking motors 32 are arranged on the side of the walking seats 31 away from the X axis walking beams 11, the power end of the walking motor 32 penetrates the walking seat, and a walking gear is arranged at the power end of the walking motor 32. A rack is arranged on the X axis walking beam 11 and matched with the walking gear. In this way, under the action of the walking motor 32, the walking seat 31 can move on the walking beam.

[0027] In order to ensure the stability of the movement of the walking seat 31, upper and lower guide rails 111 and 112 are arranged on the X axis walking beam 11, and walking wheels 33 matched with the upper and lower guide rails 111 and 112 are arranged on the walking seat 31. In this way, the whole walking seat 31 is fixed on the walking beam through the walking wheels 33, so as to realize the stable walking of the walking seat 31. In the embodiment, in order to reduce the cost, the upper guide rail 111 and the rack are designed in an integrated structure, that is, the bottom of the upper guide rail 111 is provided with sawteeth, forming a rack-shaped structure.

[0028] Considering that the existing seamless steel pipe is placed in a stacking manner and the hob ring is placed in a stacking manner, the two placements need the clamping mechanism to move up and down to be realized, for this, the Z-axis lifting shaft 4 is arranged on the Y-axis walking beam 2, the Z-axis lifting shaft 4 is arranged in walking and lifting along the Y-axis walking beam 2, specifically, the Z-axis lifting shaft 4 is arranged in walking and lifting along the Y-axis walking beam 2 through the lifting walking mechanism 5, the lifting walking mechanism 5 includes the walking plate 51 arranged on the Y-axis walking beam 2, the walking plate 51 and the walking seat 31 are both arranged in a plate shape, the moving motor 52 is arranged on the walking plate 51, the power end of the moving motor 52 is also arranged through the walking plate 51, at the same time, the moving gear is arranged on the power end of the moving motor 52, the moving rack matched with the moving gear is arranged on the Y-axis walking beam 2, in this way, the walking plate 51 can move along the Y-axis walking beam 2, and the Z-axis lifting shaft 4 is arranged on the walking plate 51, so that the Z-axis lifting shaft 4 moves along the Y-axis walking beam 2.

[0029] In order to realize the up and down movement of the Z-axis lifting shaft 4 relative to the Y-axis walking beam 2, in the embodiment, the lifting motor 53 is further arranged on the walking plate 51, the power end of the lifting motor 53 is also arranged through the walking plate 51, at the same time, the lifting gear is arranged on the power end of the lifting motor 53, the lifting rack is arranged on the Z-axis lifting shaft 4 and engaged with the lifting gear. In this way, since the lifting motor 53 is stationary, at this time, the Z-axis lifting shaft 4 will move up and down, in order to ensure the stability of the Z-axis lifting shaft 4, the left guide rail 41 and the right guide rail 42 arranged on the left and right sides of the Z-axis lifting shaft 4 are arranged, the lifting wheel 54 matched with the left guide rail 41 and the right guide rail 42 is arranged on the walking plate 51, in this way, under the clamping action of the lifting wheel 54, the stability of the lifting is ensured, of course, in order to ensure the movement stability of the walking plate 51, the upper guide rail 111 and the lower guide rail 112 are also arranged on the Y-axis walking beam 2, the walking wheel 33 matched with the upper guide rail 111 and the lower guide rail 112 is arranged on the walking plate 51.

[0030] In order to realize the action of the clamping mechanism, in the embodiment, the feeding manipulator 6 is arranged at the bottom of the Z-axis lifting shaft 4, specifically, the feeding manipulator 6 includes the base 61 arranged at the bottom of the Z-axis lifting shaft 4 and the left feeding mechanism and the right feeding mechanism arranged on the base 61, wherein the left feeding mechanism and the right feeding mechanism both include the feeding seat 62 and the feeding hand 63 arranged on the feeding seat 62, the arrangement of the feeding hand 63 of the left feeding mechanism and the right feeding mechanism realizes the clamping of one end of the seamless steel pipe or the lifting of one side of the hob ring, in order to realize the clamping of the seamless steel pipe, the two feeding hands 63 need to form a ring, and in order to lift the hob ring, the two feeding hands 63 need to lift one side of the hob ring, for this, in the embodiment, the feeding hand 63 is arranged in an L shape.

[0031] In view of the need to open the two feeding hands 63 when clamping the steel pipe, the feeding hands 63 are arranged to extend out of the bottom of the feeding seat 62. A rotating gear 64 is arranged at the top of the feeding hands 63. A driving gear 65 is engaged with one side of the rotating gear 64. The driving gear 65 and the rotating gear 64 are arranged to rotate on the feeding seat 62. Specifically, a driving motor 69 is arranged on the feeding seat 62. The driving end of the driving motor 69 is arranged in connection with the driving gear 65. In this way, the feeding hands 63 will swing under the action of the driving motor 69, thereby completing the opening and closing of the two feeding hands 63. In order to leave a gap for the swinging of the feeding hands 63, the feeding seat 62 is arranged in an inverted U-shaped manner in this embodiment. In this way, the left feeding mechanism or the right feeding mechanism forms a single-leg compass-like structure. The combination of the feeding hands 63 of the left feeding mechanism and the right feeding mechanism forms the clamping of the seamless steel pipe.

[0032] In order to enable the feeding hands 63 to clamp the cutter ring, a driving shaft 66 is arranged at the top of the feeding seat 62 in this embodiment. The driving shaft 66 is located at the middle position of the feeding seat 62. A rotating gear 67 is sleeved on the driving shaft 66. The driving shaft 66 is arranged in the base 61. The rotating gears 67 of the left feeding mechanism and the right feeding mechanism are arranged in engagement. A rotating motor 68 is arranged on the base 61. The driving end of the rotating motor 68 is arranged in connection with any driving shaft 66. In order not to affect the rotation of the feeding seat 62, the feeding seat 62 is arranged below the base 61. In this way, the two feeding hands 63 will be arranged in symmetry, parallelism and a certain angle under the action of the driving shaft 66. The arrangement of the angle forms the lifting of the cutter ring.

[0033] When used specifically, if the hole diameter of the seamless steel pipe meets the simultaneous insertion of the two feeding hands 63, the two feeding hands 63 are adjusted to be in a parallel state by using the rotating shaft. In this way, the two feeding mechanisms 6 are inserted into both ends of the seamless steel pipe, thereby completing the clamping of the seamless steel pipe. If the hole diameter of the seamless steel pipe cannot meet the simultaneous insertion of the two feeding hands 63, the seamless steel pipe is first pushed out by one end of the feeding mechanism 6. Then, the two feeding hands 63 of the other end of the feeding mechanism 6 are in a symmetrical state. After being opened by using the driving motor 69, the seamless steel pipe is clamped at one end which is pushed out. Then, the other end is lifted downward. The other end of the feeding mechanism 6 is then clamped. At this time, the lower feeding mechanism can move upward, thereby completing the clamping of the seamless steel pipe.

[0034] When the clamped is the hob ring, under the action of the driving shaft 66, the two upper materials are formed into an obtuse angle, then the two upper material manipulators 6 are close to each other, the upper material manipulator 63 is all below the hob ring, the hob ring can be lifted, thus the seamless steel pipe and the hob ring can be fed by using a set of multifunctional truss manipulator, the production cost is reduced and the enterprise benefit is improved.

[0035] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in other forms. Any skilled person in the art can modify or change the above disclosed technical content to equivalent embodiments applied to other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments without departing from the technical solution of the present application, and in accordance with the technical essence of the present application, still belong to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.
