Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of zinc ingot production, and in particular to an ingot stack transplanting and unloading device. Background Art

[0002] Zinc ingot refers to pure zinc. Of course, there will be impurities, but as a zinc ingot, it has a purity of at least 90%. It is mainly used in die-casting alloys, battery industry, printing and dyeing industry, pharmaceutical industry, rubber industry, chemical industry, etc. Zinc and other metal alloys are used in electroplating, spraying and other industries. Among them, after the zinc ingot is produced, it needs to be stacked and transported.

[0003] The traditional technical solution uses manual handling, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources and is dangerous. The use of laser AGV forklifts for transportation has a good effect. However, when the zinc ingots are stacked high, the stacking becomes loose. If the stacking site is loose, it is easy to cause the zinc ingots to collapse during the subsequent transportation process, causing production accidents. Based on this, we propose an ingot stacking transfer and offline device. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-2 An embodiment of the present invention discloses an ingot stack transfer and unloading device, which includes a carrier 1, which is a frame structure and serves as an installation base for the following mechanisms;

[0036] There is also a transplanting frame 2, which is slidably connected to the carrier 1 through a transverse movement mechanism 21, and the transplanting frame 2 moves along the length direction of the carrier 1;

[0037] and a lifting mechanism 3, slidably connected to the transplanting frame 2 via a longitudinal movement mechanism 34, wherein the transverse movement mechanism 21 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the longitudinal movement mechanism 34;

[0038] Of course, in order to place the ingot stacks, the present invention also provides a forking platform 4, which is installed on one side of the carrier 1. At least two placement stations 41 are provided on the forking platform 4. The placement stations 41 are used to support the ingot stacks. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, the forking platform 4 can place at least two ingot stacks to facilitate the continuous forking operation of the forklift and improve the transfer speed of the offline line.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 Specifically, the transplanting frame 2 in the present invention is a frame, and the transverse movement mechanism 21 has the same structure as the longitudinal movement mechanism 34. Of course, in other embodiments, the transverse movement mechanism 21 and the longitudinal movement mechanism 34 may be different. Those skilled in the art may select the required displacement mechanism according to actual needs, such as cylinder drive or ball screw pair.

[0040] In some embodiments, the transverse movement mechanism 21 of the present invention includes a guide rail and a rack mounted on the top of the carrier 1. Two guide rails are provided to maintain the stability of linear movement. The transplanting frame 2 is adapted to the guide rail and the rack one by one through a motor and a slider. In addition, in order to ensure the accuracy of displacement in the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned motor is configured as a servo motor. Obviously, in order to mesh with the rack for transmission, a gear should also be installed on the shaft end of the motor to achieve cooperation with the rack.

[0041] The guide rail and the rack of the longitudinal movement mechanism 34 are installed on the top of the frame, and the motor and the slider of the longitudinal movement mechanism 34 are installed on the lifting mechanism 3.

[0042] In addition, the lifting mechanism 3 of the present invention includes a slide 31, which has a square structure and is connected to the longitudinal movement mechanism 34;

[0043] A driving member 32 is installed at the bottom of the slide 31 . In this embodiment, the driving member 32 is configured as a cylinder. A lifting claw component 33 is provided at the shaft end of the driving member 32 .

[0044] On the basis of the above embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 in the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

[0045] At least two guide posts are installed on the inner side of the transplanting frame 2, and the lifting claw component 33 is slidably connected to the guide posts through guide rails and sliders.

[0046] In specific operation, when the zinc ingot stack on the ingot stack conveyor is transported to the offline workstation, the device first performs a forking action on one side of the offline workstation, and the cylinder drives the claw component 33 to descend to its position, and the longitudinal movement mechanism 34 drives the claw component 33 to move forward to fork;

[0047] After the forking is completed, the cylinder lifts the zinc ingot stack to the initial position before grabbing, and then the transverse movement mechanism 21 drives the device to move to the left above the forking platform 4, and the claw component 33 descends to a placement station 41, and then returns to the initial forking position according to the original action path;

[0048] When the second stack of zinc ingots is in place, the same action is repeated, and then it is moved to another placement station 41 above the fork-taking platform 4. At this time, the two stacks of zinc ingots have left the ingot conveyor, and the forklift can directly fork the two stacks of ingots on the fork-taking platform 4.

[0049] In more detail, the lifting claw component 33 of the present invention includes at least two lifting claws 331 and a fixing plate 332 , and the fixing plate 332 is connected to the shaft end of the driving member 32 ;

[0050] At least two lifting claws 331 are connected to the fixing plate 332 via a displacement mechanism.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 、 5 In some embodiments, the displacement mechanism includes two cross bars 333 , and at least two guide grooves 334 are formed on the end surface of the fixed plate 332 . Two slide bars 335 are slidably connected in the guide grooves 334 , and the two slide bars 335 in each guide groove 334 are connected to a lifting claw 331 ;

[0052] A wedge block 336 is provided at the front end of the fixed plate 332, and the inclined surface of the wedge block 336 is inclined downward. A roller 337 is provided at the bottom of the slide rod 335, and the roller 337 is used to interfere with the inclined surface of the wedge block 336. Two cross bars 333 are respectively fixed to the two horizontal slide bars 335, and one of the cross bars 333 is fixed to the fixed plate 332 by a spring 338.

[0053] That is, in the present invention, when the ingot stack is forked, each lifting claw 331 moves downward under the gravity of the ingot stack. During this process, affected by the roller 337 and the wedge block 336, each lifting claw 331 is displaced forward, that is, the ingot stack is sent outward for a certain distance. In this state, the entire longitudinal movement mechanism 34 can reduce the moving distance of the driving lifting claw 331, so that the ingot stack can be placed on the placement station 41, which effectively improves the efficiency of placing the ingot stack.

[0054] After the ingot stack is placed on the placement station 41, the lifting claw 331 loses the downward pressure of gravity, so it can be quickly reset under the pull of the spring 338, which also increases the reset speed of the entire lifting claw component 33.

[0055] Reference Figure 5 Considering the need to clean the surface of the lifting claw 331 , in an embodiment of the present invention, a cleaning mechanism 5 is further provided between the lifting claw 331 and the fixing plate 332 , and the cleaning mechanism 5 is used to clean the surface of the lifting claw 331 .

[0056] Reference Figure 6 Specifically, the dust cleaning mechanism 5 includes a corrugated airbag 51, and the two ends of the corrugated airbag 51 are respectively fixed to the lifting claw 331 and the fixing plate 332;

[0057] There is a cavity on the inner side of the lifting claw 331, and a plurality of air holes 339 are opened on the upper surface of the lifting claw 331. The cavity is connected to the corrugated airbag 51. A one-way valve 52 is provided on the outer side of the corrugated airbag 51 and at the connection point with the cavity. The air inlet and outlet directions of the two one-way valves 52 are opposite.

[0058] That is, when the lifting claw 331 moves forward during the movement, the corrugated airbag 51 draws air inward. When the transplanting is completed, the lifting claw 331 returns to its original position, and the corrugated airbag 51 exhausts air outward through the air hole 339 to clean the surface of the lifting claw 331.

[0059] It should be noted that the placement station 41 in the present invention is composed of at least two raised blocks, and the upper surfaces of the raised blocks are in contact with the lower surface of the ingot stack.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
