Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of precast component technology, specifically to a steel rod cleaning device and an aerated concrete production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of precast aerated concrete components, to enhance the structural strength of the aerated concrete panels, a reinforcing mesh is typically installed inside the panel blank. This mesh is usually fixed in place at predetermined positions using steel rods, with multiple rods arranged in a row to secure it. Once the concrete in the blank has reached a certain hardness and viscosity, the reinforcing mesh no longer needs to be secured with rods, and the rods can be pulled out of the blank, leaving the mesh inside. Because the rods came into contact with the concrete during the fixing process, concrete adhered to their surfaces after being pulled out. To ensure the rods can be reused, their surfaces must be cleaned immediately.

[0003] Currently, the surface cleaning of steel rods is mainly carried out by a dedicated cleaning machine. The cleaning machine is equipped with multiple cleaning brushes. The steel rods are moved to the cleaning machine by a hoisting device, and the vertical movement of the hoisting device ensures that each row of steel rods is cleaned by the corresponding cleaning brush. However, in actual production, aerated concrete panels come in various specifications. Because the specifications of the reinforcing mesh used in different specifications of aerated concrete panels are inconsistent, the setting position of the steel rods that fix the reinforcing mesh is also inconsistent. Specifically, the spacing between two adjacent rows of steel rods will change. During the use of the existing cleaning machine, the position of the cleaning brushes needs to be manually adjusted according to the position of each row of steel rods. The adjustment process is time-consuming and laborious, making it difficult to efficiently clean steel rods in different positions, which greatly slows down the production cycle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a steel rod cleaning device and an aerated concrete production line to solve the problem that existing cleaning machines are unable to efficiently clean steel rods in different locations.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a steel rod cleaning device for cleaning multiple rows of steel rods. The steel rod cleaning device includes: a frame; multiple cleaning structures, each cleaning structure being movably mounted on the frame and adapted to clean at least one steel rod in a row; a position detection structure, disposed on one side of the multiple rows of steel rods and adapted to detect the position of each row of steel rods; a position adjustment structure, disposed on the frame, the position adjustment structure driving at least one cleaning structure to move to adjust the position of the cleaning structure; and a controller, connected to the position detection structure and the position adjustment structure respectively, the controller being adapted to receive position information from the position detection structure and control the position adjustment structure to adjust the position of the cleaning structure according to the position information.

[0006] Beneficial effects: By setting a position detection structure on one side of the steel rod, when multiple rows of steel rods have been used and need to be cleaned, the position detection structure can detect the position of each row of steel rods on the movement path of the steel rods. The position adjustment structure can adjust the position of the cleaning structure according to the information detected by the position detection structure, so that the steel rod cleaning device can automatically clean steel rods of different specifications without manual operation. This improves the cleaning flexibility and efficiency, speeds up the cleaning cycle, and effectively solves the problem that existing cleaning machines cannot efficiently clean steel rods in different positions.

[0007] In one alternative embodiment, the position detection structure includes a position detection element, which is movably disposed on one side of the frame, or the position detection element is movably disposed on a transfer mechanism that transports multiple rows of steel rods.

[0008] Beneficial effects: The position detection element moves along the arrangement direction of multiple rows of steel rods, and detects the position of each row of steel rods in turn during the movement. The detection method is simple and reliable.

[0009] In one optional embodiment, the position detection structure further includes a detection drive unit, and a detection track is provided on one side of the frame or on the transfer mechanism. The detection drive unit drives the position detection element to move on the detection track.

[0010] Beneficial effects: The detection track enables the position detection structure to maintain the correct movement trajectory; the structure is simple and reliable.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, the detection drive unit includes a detection mounting plate, a detection drive motor, and detection wheels. The position detection element and the detection drive motor are mounted on the detection mounting plate, and the detection wheels are fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the detection drive motor. The detection drive motor moves along the detection track through the detection wheels.

[0012] Beneficial effects: The detection track guides the movement of the position detection element, preventing it from deviating during movement. The overall structure is simple and effective.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, the position adjustment structure is movably mounted on the frame. The position adjustment structure has a first working state in which it is fixedly engaged with any one of the cleaning structures and drives the cleaning structure to move, and a second working state in which it is separated from all the cleaning structures and can move independently.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The position adjustment structure can work independently with each cleaning structure. Only one position adjustment structure is needed to adjust the position of each cleaning structure in turn, resulting in fewer overall components.

[0015] In one optional embodiment, the position adjustment structure includes a telescopic element and a moving drive unit. The cleaning structure is provided with a mating plate that cooperates with the telescopic element. The mating plate has a through hole. The fixed end of the telescopic element is fixedly connected to the moving drive unit. The telescopic element has an extended state in which its moving end is inserted into the through hole and a retracted state in which its moving end is separated from the through hole. When the telescopic element is in the extended state, the moving drive unit drives the corresponding cleaning structure to move; when the telescopic element is in the retracted state, the moving drive unit moves independently.

[0016] Beneficial effects: The assembly speed is fast and the assembly method is reliable. The position adjustment structure can be adjusted and the cleaning structure can be positioned through a simple structure. The various components of the position adjustment structure are simple in structure and easy to process and manufacture.

[0017] In one optional embodiment, the cleaning structure is further provided with a locking unit that cooperates with the telescopic element. The locking unit is located on one side of the mating plate and cooperates with the frame. The locking unit has a locked state that fixes the cleaning structure on the frame and an unlocked state that allows the cleaning structure to move. When the telescopic element is in the extended state, the locking unit cooperates with the moving end and is in the unlocked state. When the telescopic element is in the retracted state, the locking unit cooperates with the frame and is in the locked state.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The locking unit can fix the position of the cleaning structure to prevent it from moving during the cleaning operation, effectively improving the working reliability of the cleaning structure.

[0019] In one optional embodiment, the locking unit includes a pressure rod and an elastic element. The portion between the two ends of the pressure rod is rotatably mounted on the cleaning structure. The elastic element cooperates with the pressure rod and the cleaning structure. One end of the pressure rod forms a friction end, and the other end forms a mating end. The mating end is correspondingly positioned with a through hole. A movable end passes through the through hole and presses against the mating end. The friction end separates from the frame, and the locking unit is in an unlocked state. When the movable end moves out of the through hole, the friction end is driven by the elastic element to swing close to the frame and cooperate with the frame, and the locking unit is in a locked state.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The friction end presses against the frame under the action of the elastic element, and the friction force prevents the cleaning structure from changing position during the cleaning process. When the cleaning structure needs to be moved, the telescopic element and pressure rod of the position adjustment structure can release the friction end, and the cleaning structure can be moved easily. The overall structure is simple and reliable, and automatic locking can be achieved without electricity.

[0021] In one optional embodiment, the cleaning structure includes a movable base, two cleaning brushes, and a cleaning drive unit. The movable base is movably mounted on the frame, and the cleaning drive unit drives the cleaning brushes to move on the movable base. The two cleaning brushes have a clamped state close to each other and an open state far from each other. When the two cleaning brushes are in the clamped state, a row of steel rods can be located between the two cleaning brushes and move vertically so that the cleaning brushes clean the row of steel rods.

[0022] Beneficial effects: After the two cleaning brushes clamp the steel rod, the brush body can fully contact the surface of the steel rod. When the steel rod moves vertically, the cleaning brush can clean the steel rod from all directions.

[0023] In one alternative embodiment, the cleaning drive unit includes a telescopic cylinder, the piston rod of which is fixedly connected to one of the cleaning brushes, and the cylinder barrel of which is fixedly connected to the other cleaning brush. Two limiting blocks are provided on the movable seat, and the two cleaning brushes are located between the two limiting blocks. The two limiting blocks are used to limit the maximum distance between the two cleaning brushes.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The position and opening distance of the cleaning brush can be controlled by the position of the limiting block. As long as the steel rod is between the two cleaning brushes, a clamping operation can be performed, allowing the two cleaning brushes to self-adaptively clamp. The structure is simple and ingenious, which can effectively improve the flexibility of the clamping process.

[0025] Secondly, the present invention also provides an aerated concrete production line, comprising: a saddle frame; multiple rows of steel rods fixed on the saddle frame; a transfer mechanism connected to the saddle frame and adapted to move the saddle frame; and the aforementioned steel rod cleaning device disposed on the transfer path of the multiple rows of steel rods, wherein the transfer mechanism is adapted to move the multiple rows of steel rods into the steel rod cleaning device and drive the saddle frame to move vertically to clean the multiple rows of steel rods.

[0026] Beneficial effects: Multiple rows of steel rods are fixed to the transfer mechanism by the saddle frame. The steel rod cleaning device can automatically detect the position of each row of steel rods and adjust the position of its own cleaning structure as needed. After the transfer mechanism drives the multiple rows of steel rods to the designated position and moves vertically, the steel rod cleaning device can clean the steel rods from all directions, solving the problem of the difficulty in obtaining the position of the steel rods and effectively improving the automation level of the steel rod cleaning process.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] The following is combined Figures 1 to 16 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a steel rod cleaning device is provided for cleaning multiple rows of steel rods 7, comprising: a frame 1, multiple cleaning structures 2, a position detection structure 3, a position adjustment structure 5, and a controller. Each cleaning structure 2 is movably mounted on the frame 1 and is adapted to clean at least one steel rod 7 in a row of steel rods 7. The position detection structure 3 is mounted on one side of the multiple rows of steel rods 7 and is adapted to detect the position of each row of steel rods 7. The position adjustment structure 5 is mounted on the frame 1 and drives at least one cleaning structure 2 to move to adjust the position of the cleaning structure 2. The controller is connected to the position detection structure 3 and the position adjustment structure 5 respectively, and is adapted to receive position information from the position detection structure 3 and control the position adjustment structure 5 to adjust the position of the cleaning structure 2 according to the position information.

[0049] The steel rod cleaning device of this embodiment has a position detection structure 3 set on one side of the steel rod 7. When multiple rows of steel rods 7 have been used and need to be cleaned, the position detection structure 3 can detect the position of each row of steel rods 7 on the movement path of the steel rods 7. The position adjustment structure 5 can adjust the position of the cleaning structure 2 according to the information detected by the position detection structure 3, so that the steel rod cleaning device can automatically clean steel rods 7 of different specifications without manual operation. This improves the cleaning flexibility and efficiency, speeds up the cleaning cycle of the steel rods 7, and effectively solves the problem that existing cleaning machines are unable to efficiently clean steel rods in different positions.

[0050] In this embodiment, the position detection structure 3 includes a position detection element 301, which is movably disposed on one side of the frame 1. The position detection element 301 moves along the arrangement direction of the multiple rows of steel rods 7, and sequentially detects the position of each row of steel rods 7 during the movement. The detection method is simple and reliable. It can be understood that, as an alternative implementation, the position detection element 301 can also be fixedly disposed on one side of the frame 1. The position detection element 301 can scan the multiple rows of steel rods as a whole and identify the position of the corresponding steel rod through image recognition.

[0051] The arrangement direction of the multiple rows of steel rods 7 refers to... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow is "left" or "right".

[0052] It should be noted that the specific type of position detection element 301 is not limited here, as long as it can identify the position of the steel rod 7.

[0053] In this embodiment, the position detection structure 3 also includes a detection drive unit. A detection track 302 is provided on one side of the frame 1. The detection drive unit drives the position detection element 301 to move on the detection track 302. The detection track 302 enables the position detection structure 3 to maintain the correct movement trajectory. The structure is simple and reliable.

[0054] Specifically, the detection track 302 can be set on the frame 1 or set on a separate frame on one side of the frame 1, as long as it can stably and reliably support the position detection element 301.

[0055] Preferably, the position detection structure 3 further includes a detection frame 308, which is independently set on one side of the frame 1. The extension direction of the detection frame 308 is consistent with the arrangement direction of the multiple rows of steel rods 7. The detection track 302 is fixedly set on the detection frame 308. When the position detection element 301 moves along the detection track 302, if a signal change occurs at the position of the position detection element 301, it indicates that there is a row of steel rods 7. The position at this time is recorded, and the position of this row of steel rods 7 is detected.

[0056] In this embodiment, the detection drive unit includes a detection mounting plate 305, a detection drive motor 303, and detection wheels. The position detection element 301 and the detection drive motor 303 are mounted on the detection mounting plate 305. The detection wheels are fixed on the output shaft of the detection drive motor 303. The detection drive motor 303 moves along the detection track 302 through the detection wheels. The detection drive motor 303 is the main component that provides power. The detection track 302 guides the movement of the position detection element 301 and prevents the position detection element 301 from deviating when it moves. The overall structure is simple and effective.

[0057] Specifically, the position detection element 301 is disposed at one end of the detection mounting plate 305 and faces the steel rod 7. A detection slider 304 that cooperates with the detection track 302 is fixedly disposed on the detection mounting plate 305. The detection traveling wheel is a detection gear 306, and a detection rack 307 that cooperates with the detection gear 306 is also fixedly disposed on the detection frame 308. The detection rack 307 is located on one side of the detection track 302. It can be understood that, as an alternative implementation, the detection traveling wheel can be a roller, and the detection frame 308 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the roller. The roller rolls in the groove, thereby driving the position detection element 301 to move.

[0058] In this embodiment, the position adjustment structure 5 is movably mounted on the frame 1. The position adjustment structure 5 has a first working state where it is fixedly engaged with any one of the cleaning structures 2 and drives the cleaning structure 2 to move; and a second working state where it is detached from all the cleaning structures 2 and can move independently. The position adjustment structure 5 can individually engage with each cleaning structure 2, requiring only one position adjustment structure 5 to sequentially adjust the position of each cleaning structure 2. The overall structure has fewer components and is simple and reliable. It is understood that, as an alternative implementation, multiple position adjustment structures 5 can also be provided on the frame 1, with each cleaning structure 2 corresponding to one position adjustment structure 5. Multiple cleaning structures 2 can adjust their own positions through their respective position adjustment structures 5.

[0059] In this embodiment, the position adjustment structure 5 includes a telescopic element 501 and a moving drive unit. The cleaning structure 2 is provided with a mating plate 502 that cooperates with the telescopic element 501. The mating plate 502 is provided with a through hole 5021. The fixed end 5011 of the telescopic element 501 is fixedly connected to the moving drive unit. The telescopic element 501 has an extended state in which its moving end 5012 is inserted into the through hole 5021 and a retracted state in which its moving end 5012 is separated from the through hole 5021. When the telescopic element 501 is in the extended state, the moving drive unit drives the corresponding cleaning structure 2 to move. When the telescopic element 501 is in the retracted state, the moving drive unit moves independently. The mating speed is fast and the mating method is reliable. The position adjustment structure 5 can adjust the position of the cleaning structure 2 with a simple structure. The various components of the position adjustment structure 5 have simple structures and are easy to process and manufacture. It is understood that, as an alternative implementation, the telescopic element 501 can also be replaced with a clamping element, which clamps the mating plate 502 to achieve a fixed connection. Alternatively, the telescopic element 501 can be replaced with an electromagnetic element, which attracts and fixes the mating plate 502 to achieve a fixed connection.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the position adjustment structure 5 also includes an adjustment mounting plate 503, a movement drive unit is an adjustment drive component 504, and a telescopic element 501 is fixedly connected to the adjustment drive component 504 via the adjustment mounting plate 503. The adjustment mounting plate 503 moves laterally on the frame 1 via the adjustment drive component 504. An adjustment track 102 and a mating rack 507 are provided on the frame 1 along the movement direction of the position adjustment structure 5. An adjustment slider 505 that mates with the adjustment track 102 is fixedly provided on the adjustment mounting plate 503. An adjustment gear 506 is provided on the rotating shaft of the adjustment drive component 504. The adjustment drive component 504 drives the adjustment gear 506 to rotate and engage with the mating rack 507, so that the adjustment slider 505 slides along the adjustment track 102. It can be understood that, as an alternative implementation, the adjustment mounting plate 503 can also roll into a guide groove on the frame 1 via a guide wheel.

[0061] Lateral movement refers to Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow is "left" or "right".

[0062] Furthermore, the adjustment drive component 504 can be a rotary cylinder, a rotary motor, a rotary hydraulic cylinder, etc., as long as it has a rotatable output shaft, and there is no strict limitation here; the telescopic element 501 is preferably a telescopic cylinder. In order to enable the telescopic element 501 to better cooperate with the through hole 5021, the side wall of the moving end 5012 is an annular conical surface, so that the moving end 5012 can still guide itself into the through hole 5021 through the conical surface even if it is not aligned with the through hole 5021.

[0063] It should be noted that, in order for the position adjustment structure 5 to identify the position of the cleaning structure 2, the position adjustment structure 5 is also provided with identification elements, such as proximity switches and sensing elements. The mating plate 502 is provided with mating elements that cooperate with proximity switches and sensing elements, so that the position adjustment structure 5 can sense the position of the cleaning structure 2 and thus perform precise mating.

[0064] In this embodiment, the cleaning structure 2 is also provided with a locking unit that cooperates with the telescopic element 501. The locking unit is located on one side of the mating plate 502 and cooperates with the frame 1. The locking unit has a locked state that fixes the cleaning structure 2 on the frame 1 and an unlocked state that allows the cleaning structure 2 to move. When the telescopic element 501 is in the extended state, the locking unit cooperates with the moving end 5012 and is in the unlocked state. When the telescopic element 501 is in the retracted state, the locking unit cooperates with the frame 1 and is in the locked state. The locking unit can fix the position of the cleaning structure 2 to prevent the cleaning structure 2 from moving during the cleaning operation, effectively improving the working reliability of the cleaning structure 2.

[0065] In this embodiment, the locking unit includes a pressure rod 601 and an elastic element 602. The portion between the two ends of the pressure rod 601 is rotatably mounted on the cleaning structure 2. The elastic element 602 cooperates with the pressure rod 601 and the cleaning structure 2. One end of the pressure rod 601 forms a friction end 6011, and the other end forms a mating end 6012. The mating end 6012 is correspondingly disposed with the through hole 5021. The moving end 5012 passes through the through hole 5021 and presses against the mating end 6012. The friction end 6011 separates from the frame 1, and the locking unit is in the unlocked state. 012 moves out of the through hole 5021. The friction end 6011 is driven by the elastic element 602 to swing close to the frame 1 and cooperate with the frame 1. The locking unit is in a locked state. The friction end 6011 presses against the frame 1 under the action of the elastic element 602, and prevents the cleaning structure 2 from changing position during the cleaning process through frictional force. When the cleaning structure 2 needs to move, the telescopic element 501 and the pressure rod 601 of the position adjustment structure 5 can release the friction end 6011, and the cleaning structure 2 can move easily. The overall structure is simple and reliable, and automatic locking can be achieved without electricity. It can be understood that, as an alternative implementation, the locking unit may also include an electric locking element and a control button. When the telescopic element 501 presses down the control button, the electric locking element automatically unlocks. When the control button is reset, the electric locking element automatically locks.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the telescopic element 501 is engaged in a specific process from a top-down perspective. The pressure rod 601 is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 201 via the connecting shaft 604. The pressure rod 601, the elastic element 602, and the connecting shaft 604 form a lever structure, which is simple and effective in its engagement. The locking unit also includes a friction block 603 located at the friction end 6011. The friction block 603 is pressed against the frame 1 or separated from the frame 1.

[0067] It should be noted that, Figure 10 and Figure 11 In order to better demonstrate the function of the elastic element 602, the elastic element 602 is set on the right side of the mating end 6012. The function of the elastic element 602 is to enable the mating end 6012 to automatically abut against the frame 1.

[0068] In this embodiment, the cleaning structure 2 includes a movable base 201, two cleaning brushes 202, and a cleaning drive unit. The movable base 201 is movably mounted on the frame 1. The cleaning drive unit drives the cleaning brushes 202 to move on the movable base 201. The two cleaning brushes 202 have a clamped state close to each other and an open state far from each other. When the two cleaning brushes 202 are in the clamped state, a row of steel rods 7 can be located between the two cleaning brushes 202 and move vertically so that the cleaning brushes 202 can clean the row of steel rods 7. After the two cleaning brushes 202 clamp the steel rods 7, the brush body of the cleaning brush 202 can fully contact the surface of the steel rods 7. When the steel rods 7 move vertically, the cleaning brushes 202 can clean the steel rods 7 from all directions.

[0069] It is understood that, as an alternative implementation, the two cleaning brushes 202 can also be brushes that can rotate independently around their own axis. A rotation drive unit is provided on one side of the cleaning brush 202, and cleaning is carried out by rotating the cleaning brush 202 to improve cleaning efficiency.

[0070] Specifically, the movement method of the cleaning structure 2 is not limited; it can be a sliding engagement between the slider and the frame 1, or a rolling engagement between the roller and the frame 1. Preferably, as shown below... Figure 6 As shown, a moving track 101 is provided on the frame 1 along the moving direction of the cleaning structure 2, and the cleaning structure 2 slides with the moving track 101 through a moving slider 207; a cleaning track 203 is provided on the moving base 201, and the cleaning brush 202 slides with the cleaning track 203 through a cleaning slider 206.

[0071] In this embodiment, the cleaning drive unit includes a telescopic cylinder 204. The piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 204 is fixedly connected to one of the cleaning brushes 202, and the cylinder barrel of the telescopic cylinder 204 is fixedly connected to the other cleaning brush 202. The movable seat 201 is provided with two limiting blocks 205. The two cleaning brushes 202 are located between the two limiting blocks 205. The two limiting blocks 205 are used to limit the maximum distance between the two cleaning brushes 202 and each other. Due to the presence of the two limiting blocks 205, when the telescopic cylinder 204 extends, the two cleaning brushes 202 abut against the corresponding limiting blocks 205 respectively. At this time, the two cleaning brushes 202 are in an open state. The position of the cleaning brushes 202 and the opening distance can be controlled by the position of the limiting blocks 205. At this time, as long as the steel rod 7 is located between the two cleaning brushes 202, a clamping operation can be performed, so that the two cleaning brushes 202 can self-adaptively clamp. The structure is simple and ingenious, which can effectively improve the flexibility of the clamping process. It is understood that, as an alternative implementation, each cleaning brush 202 may be driven to move by an independent drive element.

[0072] Specifically, each end of the two cleaning brushes 202 is equipped with a telescopic cylinder 204, and the telescopic cylinders 204 are installed in opposite directions to ensure that the force on both ends of each cleaning brush 202 is uniform; for example Figure 12 As shown, the steel rod 7 is positioned between the two cleaning brushes 202. The telescopic cylinder 204 retracts, causing the two cleaning brushes 202 to approach and clamp the steel rod 7, after which cleaning work can begin. Figure 13 As shown, the steel rod 7 is positioned between the two cleaning brushes 202 in an off-center state. The steel rod 7 is closer to one of the cleaning brushes 202. When the telescopic cylinder 204 retracts, the cleaning brush 202 of the closer steel rod 7 will abut against the steel rod 7 more quickly. At this time, the cleaning brush 202 that is farther away from the steel rod 7 can continue to approach the steel rod 7 under the pull of the telescopic cylinder 204, thus achieving the clamping operation.

[0073] In this embodiment, a storage groove 103 is also provided at the bottom of the frame 1 corresponding to the bottom of the cleaning structure 2, for collecting the residue that falls off the steel rod 7 during cleaning, so as to facilitate the operator to clean it.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present invention, another steel rod cleaning device is provided. The difference between the steel rod cleaning device of this embodiment and the previous steel rod cleaning device is whether the position detection element 301 moves together with the transfer mechanism 8. In this embodiment, the position detection element 301 is movably disposed on the transfer mechanism 8 that transports multiple rows of steel rods 7. The position detection element 301 moves along the arrangement direction of the multiple rows of steel rods 7. The position detection element 301 can move above the multiple rows of steel rods 7 or move to the side of the multiple rows of steel rods 7, as long as it can scan and identify the position of each row of steel rods 7.

[0075] It is understood that, as an alternative implementation, since each row of steel rods 7 is fixed to the transfer mechanism 8 by a corresponding crossbeam, the position detection element 301 can also estimate the position of the corresponding row of steel rods 7 by measuring the position of each crossbeam.

[0076] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, the detection track 302 and the detection rack 307 are directly mounted on the transfer mechanism 8. The detection drive motor 303 drives the detection gear 306 to cooperate with the detection rack 307, thereby causing the position detection element 301 to move on the detection track 302.

[0077] in, Figure 9 The middle view is a side view of the transfer mechanism 8 and the steel rod 7, along... Figure 9 The steel rods 7 arranged in the "left and right" direction indicated by the middle arrow constitute a row of steel rods 7. Figure 9 The left and right directions indicated by the middle arrow are the directions in which the transfer mechanism 8 transports the steel rod 7. Figure 9 The direction indicated by the middle arrow, "up and down," is the direction in which the transfer mechanism 8 drives the steel rod 7 to clean up and down.

[0078] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, an aerated concrete production line is provided, comprising: a saddle frame, multiple rows of steel rods 7, a transfer mechanism 8, and the aforementioned steel rod cleaning device. The multiple rows of steel rods 7 are fixed on the saddle frame; the transfer mechanism 8 is connected to the saddle frame and is adapted to move the saddle frame; the steel rod cleaning device is disposed on the transfer path of the multiple rows of steel rods 7, and the transfer mechanism 8 is adapted to move the multiple rows of steel rods 7 into the steel rod cleaning device and drive the saddle frame to move vertically to clean the multiple rows of steel rods 7.

[0079] Multiple rows of steel rods 7 are fixed to the transfer mechanism 8 by a saddle frame. The steel rod cleaning device can automatically detect the position of each row of steel rods 7 and adjust the position of its own cleaning structure as needed. After the transfer mechanism 8 drives the multiple rows of steel rods 7 to the designated position and moves vertically, the steel rod cleaning device can clean the steel rods 7 from all directions, solving the problem of the difficulty in obtaining the position of the steel rods 7 and effectively improving the automation level of the steel rod 7 cleaning step.

[0080] In this embodiment, the aerated concrete production line also includes a cutting unit, an autoclave, a crane, etc. The cutting unit, autoclave, crane, etc. can all adopt the structure of the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0081] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
