[0038] 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, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0039] It should also be understood that the terminology used in this specification is merely for describing specific realities within the context of this application. It is important to understand that terms such as "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," indicating orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are used solely for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0040] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 21 As shown, this application provides an oven equipment for core package production, including a frame 100, a lifting mechanism 300, a positioning mechanism 400, a heat insulation mechanism 500, a translation mechanism 600, and a material handling mechanism 200. The frame 100 has a heating chamber 101 with a material handling port 1011. The lifting mechanism 300 and the positioning mechanism 400 are disposed within the heating chamber. The heat insulation mechanism 500 is disposed at the material handling port 1011. The material handling mechanism 200 is movable above the material handling port 1011. The translation mechanism 600 is used to transfer a carrier 100a containing removed iron bars 100c within the heating chamber 101. Multiple core packages 100d for processing at the next workstation are welded onto the iron bars 100c.

[0042] For example, a trolley 100b places multiple carriers 100a containing iron bars 100c into the heating chamber 101. A lifting mechanism 300 lifts the carriers 100a to the feeding port 1011. A positioning mechanism 400 positions the carriers 100a in the feeding port 1011 relative to the feeding port 1011. A feeding mechanism 200 removes the iron bars 100c from the carriers 100a from the feeding port 1011 and moves them to the next station. A heat insulation mechanism 500 closes the feeding port 1011 after the feeding mechanism 200 removes the iron bars 100c to ensure the temperature inside the heating chamber 101 and also to prevent the temperature of the remaining iron bars 100c on the carriers 100a from rising.

[0043] Specifically, a heating coil is installed inside the heating chamber 101. Multiple carriers 100a containing iron bars 100c are stacked together and pushed into the heating chamber 101 by a trolley 100b, allowing the heating chamber 101 to heat the core package 100d welded onto the iron bars 100c. When processing of the core package 100d on the iron bars 100c is required, the core package 100d can be separated from the iron bars 100c, and the iron bars 100c are removed from the material handling port 1011 by the material handling mechanism 200 and moved to the next workstation. The heat insulation mechanism 500 can open the material handling port 1011 when the material handling mechanism 200 needs to take out the iron bar 100c from the material handling port 1011, and close the material handling port 1011 after the material handling mechanism 200 takes out the iron bar 100c, so as to prevent the remaining iron bar 100c in the heating chamber 101 from being exposed to the air. This not only realizes the automatic processing of each process and simplifies the process, but also realizes automatic control and automatic production, reduces the waste of manpower, and enables the operation to be carried out continuously without interruption, adapting to the rapid and large-scale production mode.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the frame 100 is provided with a material transfer chamber 102, and the material transfer chamber 102 and the heating chamber 101 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the frame. A heat preservation door assembly 900 is provided between the material transfer chamber 102 and the heating chamber 101. After the carrier 100a on the heating chamber 101 is completely removed from the iron bar 100c, the heat preservation door assembly 900 opens, and the translation mechanism 600 passes through the heat preservation door assembly 900 to transfer the carrier 100a in the heating chamber 101 to the material transfer chamber 102. Then the heat preservation door assembly 900 closes again, and the lifting mechanism 300 lifts one of the carriers 100a below. Then the positioning mechanism 400 performs positioning verification so that the position of the carrier 100a corresponds to the position of the material dispensing port 1011.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the heat preservation door assembly 900 includes a heat preservation door 901, a heat preservation door limiting plate 902, and a heat preservation door driving cylinder 903. The heat preservation door limiting plate 902 is provided with a limiting plate guide rail 9021, and a heat preservation door roller 9011 is connected to the heat preservation door 901. The heat preservation door roller 9011 is movably connected to the limiting plate guide rail 9021. The heat preservation door limiting plate 902 and the heat preservation door driving cylinder 903 are fixed on the frame 100, and the heat preservation door driving cylinder 903 can drive the heat preservation door roller 9011 on the heat preservation door 901 to slide along the limiting plate guide rail 9021 to realize the opening or closing of the heat preservation door 901.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the oven equipment also includes a control component 700, which may be composed of multiple PLCs for controlling the operation of the heat preservation door assembly 900, the lifting mechanism 300, the positioning mechanism 400, the heat insulation mechanism 500, the translation mechanism 600, and the material handling mechanism 200.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the lifting mechanism 300 includes a front lifting mechanism 301 and a rear lifting mechanism 302. The front lifting mechanism 301 is installed in the heating chamber 101, and the rear lifting mechanism 302 is installed in the transfer chamber 102. That is, the front lifting mechanism 301 can lift the next carrier 100a upward after the carrier 100a is transferred away by the translation mechanism 600; while the rear lifting mechanism 302 can lower the carrier 100a downward so that other carriers 100a can continue to be stacked on the carrier 100a, so that the carriers 100a in the heating chamber 101 can be completely transferred to the transfer chamber 102.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the material handling mechanism 200 includes a first translation component 204, a first lifting component 203, and a first gripping component. The first gripping component is connected to the first translation component 204 via the first lifting component 203. The first translation component 204 spans across the left and right ends of the frame 100, allowing the first gripping component to move from one end of the frame 100 to the other end. Then, it is lifted by the first lifting component 203 to grip the iron bar 100c on the carrier 100a. Next, the first lifting component 203 controls the first gripping component to lift the iron bar 100c. Then, the first translation component 204 moves the first gripping component to the left or right end of the frame 100, conveying the iron bar 100c to the next workstation for processing.

[0049] Since the first translation component 204 can drive the first gripping component to move from the left end to the right end or from the right end to the left end of the frame 100, the first lifting component 203 can drive the first gripping component to move from the lowest position on the left or right end of the frame 100 to the highest position, without being affected by the frame worktable. This enables the first gripping component to transport iron bars between two workstations at different heights, for example, transporting an iron bar 100c at a height of 100cm to a workstation at a height of 10cm for processing.

[0050] In one optional embodiment, the first lifting assembly 203 includes a first lifting motor 2032, a first lifting screw assembly 2033, a first guide assembly 2034, and a first lifting mounting base 2031. The first lifting motor 2032 is mounted on the first translation assembly 204 via the first lifting mounting base 2031. The first guide assembly 2034 is connected to the first lifting motor 2032 via the first lifting screw assembly 2033. The first gripping assembly is connected to the first guide assembly 2034, so that the first lifting motor 2032 can drive the first lifting screw assembly 2033 to control the first guide assembly 2034 to move the first gripping assembly up and down.

[0051] In one optional embodiment, the first guide assembly 2034 includes a first bearing seat 20342 and a first guide rod 20341. A guide rod connecting plate 20331 is connected to the first lifting screw assembly 2033. The first bearing seat 20342 is installed at the lower end of the first lifting mounting base 2031. One end of the first guide rod 20341 is connected to the guide rod connecting plate 20331, and the other end of the first guide rod 20341 passes through the first bearing seat 20342 and is connected to the first gripping assembly. The guide rod connecting plate 20331 is connected to the first lifting screw assembly 2033 in a transmission connection.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the first lifting screw assembly 2033 includes a first screw 20333 and a first slider 20332. The first lifting motor 2032 is connected to the first slider 20332 via the first screw 20333. The first slider 203332 is fixed on the guide rod connecting plate 20331, so that the first lifting motor 2032 can drive the guide rod connecting plate 20331 to move between the two ends of the first lifting mounting base 2031 via the first screw 20333. The first gripping assembly can achieve maximum displacement conveying at the lower end of the first lifting mounting base 2031.

[0053] In one optional embodiment, there are two first guide rods 20341, which are spaced apart and movably inserted into the first bearing seat 20342. The guide rod connecting plate 20331 is connected to one end of the first guide rod 20341, and the first gripping assembly is connected to the other end of the first guide rod 20341 to ensure that the first gripping assembly can be raised and lowered smoothly.

[0054] Specifically, one end of each of the two first guide rods 20341 is connected to the guide rod connecting plate 20331. The first slider 20332 is connected to the guide rod connecting plate 20331. The first slider 20332 is connected to the first lead screw 20333 via a transmission connection, passing through the first bearing seat 20342 and connecting to the first gripping assembly. The first lead screw 20333 is connected to the first lifting motor 2032 via a transmission connection. The other ends of the two first guide rods 20341 enable the first lifting motor 2032 to drive the first slider 20332 to move the guide rod connecting plate 2033. 1. The first lifting mounting base 2031 and the first bearing seat 20342 move, which not only ensures the maximum height displacement stroke of the first gripping component, but also ensures the stability of the first gripping component installed between the two first guide rods 20341. Specifically, one end of each of the two first guide rods 20341 is connected to the guide rod connecting plate 20331, which in turn is connected to the first lead screw 20333 via the first slider 20332. The other end of each of the two first guide rods 20341 is connected to the first gripping component. Furthermore, the other end of each of the two first guide rods 20341 extends out of the first bearing seat 20342 and connects to the first gripping component, so that the maximum height stroke of the first gripping component is the distance between the first lifting mounting base 2031 and the first bearing seat 20342. When the first lifting motor 2032 drives the guide rod connecting plate 20331 to move the first gripping component, the first gripping component can remove the iron bar 100c from the carrier 100a at any position between the guide rod connecting plate 20331 and the first bearing seat 20342. The first translation component 204 moves the first gripping component and the iron bar 100c on the first gripping component to the left or right end of the frame 100 through the first lifting screw component 2033. The iron bar 100c can then be placed at the next work station for processing. The height of this work station can be the height of the first gripping component after the first lifting mounting plate 2031 is attached to the first bearing seat 20342. That is, the height of the first gripping component when it takes the iron bar 100c from the oven equipment and the height of the first gripping component when it places the iron bar 100c at the next work station can be 100cm, 150cm or even more than 300cm. This also ensures the stability of the first gripping component at the lowest position and prevents wobbling.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the first gripping component includes a first gripper component and a first flipping component 202, wherein the first gripper component is connected to the first lifting component 203 through the first flipping component 202 to achieve a 90-degree or 180-degree flipping of the first gripper component.

[0056] The first flipping assembly 202 includes a flipping cylinder and a flipping rack assembly. The flipping cylinder is connected to the flipping rack assembly for driving the first gripper assembly to flip, so that the first gripper assembly can grab the iron bar 100c placed on the carrier 100a in the vertical direction. Then, the flipping cylinder controls the iron bar 100c to flip so that the core package 100d on the iron bar 100c can be processed in the next station.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the first gripper assembly includes a first gripper 201 and a second gripper spaced apart. The first gripping assembly also includes a first correction component 205, which is disposed between the first gripper and the second gripper and is used to correct the relative position between two adjacent iron bars to prevent two adjacent iron bars 100c from sticking together due to heating or other reasons.

[0058] For example, when the carrier 100a is placed in the heating chamber 101 for heating, the iron bars on the carrier 100a may deform due to placement or heating process, causing the middle parts of two adjacent iron bars 100c to stick together. At this time, the first lifting component 203 drives the first gripper component to descend and clamp the iron bar 100c. Since the first correction component 205 is located below the first gripper component and can move downward under the drive of the first lifting component 203, it can separate the two adjacent iron bars 100c, so that the first gripper component can clamp a single iron bar 100c.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the first correction component 205 includes a correction cylinder and a correction rod. The correction cylinder is connected to the first lifting component 203. The head of the correction rod has a pointed tip for separating the two iron bars 100c, and the tail of the correction rod is connected to the correction cylinder, so that the correction cylinder can drive the correction rod to move downward.

[0060] The first correction component 205 also includes a baffle plate connected to the correction rod and the correction rod fixing seat. The baffle plate can not only ensure the stability of the connection between the correction rod and the correction rod fixing seat, but also prevent relative movement between two adjacent iron bars 100c.

[0061] Specifically, the tip of the correction rod has a first bevel, and the first jaw 201 and the second jaw are used to grasp one of the two adjacent iron bars 100c. The first bevel extends toward the other iron bar 100c of the two adjacent iron bars 100c. The blocking plate is also provided in the direction toward the other iron bar 100c of the two adjacent iron bars 100c to prevent the other iron bar 100c of the two adjacent iron bars 100c from moving as the first jaw 201 and the second jaw grasp the two adjacent iron bars 100c.

[0062] In one optional embodiment, the first gripper 201 includes a first half-grip 2011, a second half-grip 2012, a gripper elastic member 2013, a gripper ejector 2014, and a gripper mounting base 2016. The first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012 are rotatably mounted on the gripper mounting base 2016 and disposed opposite to each other. The gripper elastic member 2013 is connected between the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012 to provide elastic force for the relative rotation of the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012. The gripper ejector 2014 is movably inserted between the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012 and is located on one side of the gripper elastic member 2013 to control the relative closing or opening of the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012.

[0063] For example, when the gripper ejector 2014 is in the retracted state, the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012 are in the open state on the left and right sides of the gripper elastic member 2013; while when the gripper ejector 2014 is in the ejected state, the gripper ejector 2014 is connected between the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012, so that the gripper elastic member 2013 is in the tensioned state. At this time, the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012 are in the closed state, so as to use the lever arm of the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012 to control the opening and closing of the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012. The structure is simple and the clamping is stable.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, the first gripper 201 includes a rolling bearing 2015, which is installed at both ends of the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012 and cooperates with the gripper ejector 2014. This reduces the collision force between the gripper ejector 2014 and the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012, and reduces the friction when the gripper ejector 2014 contacts the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012, making the opening and closing of the first half-grip 2011 and the second half-grip 2012 smoother.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, the structure of the second gripper is the same as that of the first gripper 201, and the second gripper and the first gripper 201 are connected together by a connecting plate 201a. The connecting plate 201a can correct the horizontal height between the first gripper 201 and the second gripper, so that the first gripper 201 and the second gripper can be at the same horizontal height, so as to ensure the horizontality of the iron bar 100c when clamping the two positions of the iron bar 100c.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, an iron bar detection component 206 is installed on the first lifting component 203. The iron bar detection component 206 is used to detect the iron bars on the first gripping component to ensure that the first gripping component can accurately clamp the iron bars. It can also determine the condition of the iron bars in the carrier 100a based on the clamping condition of the iron bars so as to urge the user to replace the carrier 100a.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, the first gripping component further includes an iron bar positioning mechanism, which is mounted on the gripper mounting base of the first gripping component to position the iron bar 100c gripped by the first gripping component.

[0068] Specifically, the iron bar positioning mechanism is installed on the gripper mounting base 2016 and can extend and retract toward the position of the iron bar 100c. It is used to horizontally position the iron bar 100c held on the first gripping assembly. That is, when the first gripper 201 and the second gripper pick up the iron bar 100c on the carrier 100a, the correction rod can separate two adjacent iron bars 100c. If the first gripping assembly picks up the iron bar 100c from the carrier 100a from left to right, the iron bar 100c at the right end moves to the right under the separation of the inclined surface on the correction rod, while the iron bar 100c at the left end is picked up by the first gripper 201 and the second gripper. When the iron bar is lifted, the iron bar positioning mechanism extends toward the iron bar 100c to position the iron bar 100c at a horizontal height, preventing the iron bar 100c from tilting toward the first gripper 201 or the second gripper after being clamped. At the same time, the blocking plate on the connecting correction rod can block the adjacent iron bars 100c on the carrier 100a when the first flipping assembly 202 controls the first gripper 201 and the second gripper to flip, or when the first lifting assembly 203 controls the first gripper 201 and the second gripper to rise, so as to prevent the adjacent iron bars 100c from moving together with the first gripper 201 and the second gripper. In an optional embodiment, both the front lifting mechanism 301 and the rear lifting mechanism 302 include a first lifting structure and a second lifting structure. The first lifting structure and the second lifting structure are respectively arranged on both sides of the heating chamber 101 or the material transfer chamber 102, for lifting or lowering the carrier 100a on the heating chamber 101 or the material transfer chamber 102, so that the material transfer chamber 102 can hold more carriers 100a, and the carriers 100a on the heating chamber 101 can be sequentially sent to the material receiving port 1011.

[0069] Specifically, both the first and second lifting structures have a clamping assembly 3011 and a chain drive assembly. The clamping assembly 3011 is equipped with a rotatable lifting jaw 30111.

The lifting jaw 30111 is used to support the carrier 100a in the heating chamber 101 or the transfer chamber 102 and to lift or lower the carrier 100a.

[0070] For example, when the front lifting mechanism 301 is disposed in the heating chamber 101, the lifting gripper 30111 is inserted between two adjacent carriers 100a during movement, for separating the carriers 100a and lifting the uppermost carrier 100a under the drive of the chain drive assembly. At the same time, when the clamping assembly 3011 slides down, the lifting gripper 30111 can rotate to one side under the drive of the side wall of the carrier 100a to form a clearance, and when the lifting gripper 30111 is located between two adjacent carriers 100a, the lifting gripper 30111 resets under the action of gravity to clamp the carrier 100a.

[0081] In an optional embodiment, the positioning mechanism 400 includes a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure arranged opposite to each other and cooperating to form a positioning space. The first positioning structure and the second positioning structure are each provided with a positioning drive and a positioning gripper assembly. The positioning drive is convexly connected to the positioning gripper assembly and is used to drive the positioning gripper assembly to move so as to position the carrier 100a lifted by the front lifting mechanism 301, so that the first gripper assembly can accurately remove the iron bar on the carrier 100a.

[0082] Specifically, the positioning gripper assembly includes a positioning gripper 403 and a checker 404. The positioning gripper 403 is L-shaped and has a horizontally extending horizontal section and a vertical section for fixed connection with the positioning drive member. The checker 404 is connected to the horizontal section and extends in the direction of extension of the horizontal section, and is used to achieve front-to-back positioning of the carrier 100a in the oven equipment. The positioning gripper 403 is used to achieve left-to-right positioning of the carrier 100a.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, the positioning gripper 403 includes a gripper body 4031 and gripper members 4032 connected to both sides of the gripper body 4031, wherein the gripper members 4032 are inserted into the lower end of the carrier 100a under the drive of the positioning drive member, and the gripper body 4031 abuts against the end face of the carrier 100a.

[0084] In an optional embodiment, the gripper 4032 includes a first gripper and a second gripper, which are respectively mounted on both sides of the gripper body 4031; wherein the first gripper has a continuously bent first fixing part, and the second gripper has a second fixing part with a different structure from the first fixing part, and both the first fixing part and the second fixing part are fixed on the gripper body.

[0085] In an optional embodiment, the first fixing part has a first connecting segment, a second connecting segment and a third connecting segment that are perpendicularly connected to each other. The first connecting segment, the second connecting segment and the third connecting segment fit into the notch formed in the gripper body 4031, so that the first fixing part can be firmly fixed on the gripper body 4031.

[0086] In an alternative embodiment, the front end of the gripper is provided with a gripper guide surface that is inclined downward.

[0087] In one alternative implementation, the front end of the horizontal segment has a plurality of spaced positioning protrusions.

[0088] In an optional embodiment, the positioning gripper assembly further includes a gripper guide wheel 405, which is mounted on the vertical section and extends in the same direction as the horizontal section.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, the positioning drive includes a positioning drive cylinder 401 and a positioning guide assembly 402, wherein the positioning drive cylinder 401 is connected to the positioning gripper via the positioning guide assembly 402.

[0090] In an optional embodiment, the positioning guide assembly 402 includes a positioning guide seat and at least two positioning guide rods. One end of the two positioning guide rods is connected to the positioning drive cylinder 401, and the other end of the two positioning guide rods passes through the positioning guide seat and is connected to the positioning gripper 403.

[0091] In an optional embodiment, the heat insulation mechanism 500 includes a heat insulation unit 501 and a heat insulation drive assembly. The heat insulation drive assembly is connected to the heat insulation unit 501 and is used to drive the heat insulation unit 501 to open or close the feeding port 1011. The heat insulation unit 501 includes two heat insulation layers arranged in a straight line and capable of expansion and contraction. The heat insulation drive assembly includes a first transverse drive assembly 503 and a second transverse drive assembly 504. The first transverse drive assembly 503 is connected to the oven equipment through the second transverse drive assembly 504. One end of one heat insulation layer is fixed to one side of the feeding port 1011, and the other end is connected to the first transverse drive assembly 503. One end of the other heat insulation layer is fixed to the other side of the feeding port 1011, and the other end is connected to the first transverse drive assembly 503, so that the first transverse drive assembly 503 and the second transverse drive assembly 504 can stretch or compress the heat insulation layers to open or close the feeding port 1011 while reciprocating.

[0092] After adopting the above technical solution, when the heat insulation mechanism 500 needs to open the feeding port 1011, the first lateral drive component 503 drives the heat insulation layer to move one unit to the right. At this time, the feeding port 1011 frees up one unit of space for the feeding mechanism 200 to take out the iron bar on the heating chamber 101. Then, the first lateral drive component 503 drives the heat insulation layer to move one unit to the left to free up one unit of space in the closed feeding port 1011. The second lateral drive component 504 then drives the first lateral drive component 503 and the closed heat insulation layer to move one unit to the right, moving the closed feeding port 1011 to the right. This process is repeated, with the feeding port 1011 freeing up one unit of space and moving from the left to the right. This reduces the iron bar in the heating chamber 101 from being completely exposed to the air, thus achieving a heat preservation effect.

[0093] In an optional embodiment, the heat insulation mechanism further includes a hollow frame-shaped material inlet fixing frame 502, on which a first slide rod and a second slide rod are slidably connected. The heat insulation layer is connected to the material inlet fixing frame 502, the first slide rod and the second slide rod, and the first lateral drive assembly 503 is drivenly connected to the first slide rod and the second slide rod.

[0094] In one optional embodiment, the inner wall of the material receiving port fixing frame is provided with slide bar guide grooves on both sides, and the first slide bar and the second slide bar are provided with slide bar guide rails. The first slide bar and the second slide bar are slidably installed in the slide bar guide grooves through the slide bar guide rails.

[0095] In an optional embodiment, the heat insulation layer includes a first heat insulation layer and a second heat insulation layer. The first heat insulation layer and the second heat insulation layer are arranged vertically and spaced apart to form an air-blown partition with a hollow cavity. The first slide rod and the second slide rod stretch or compress the air-blown partition while reciprocating, and agitate the gas flow in the hollow cavity.

[0096] In an optional embodiment, the first lateral drive assembly 503 includes a first lateral drive member, a first lateral transmission member, and a first lateral fixing frame.

The first slide rod is convexly connected to the first lateral fixing frame, and the second slide rod is convexly connected to the first lateral transmission member, so that the first lateral drive member can drive the second slide rod to move relative to the first slide rod.

[0097] In one optional embodiment, the heat insulation drive assembly includes a first drive arm and a second drive arm, the first drive arm being connected between the first slide rod and the first transverse fixing frame, and the second drive arm being connected between the second slide rod and the first transverse transmission member.

[0098] In one optional embodiment, the first drive arm and the second drive arm are Z-shaped and each has a first connecting end and a second connecting end, wherein the first connecting end is connected to the first transverse fixing frame and the first transverse transmission member, and the second connecting end is connected to the first slide rod and the second slide rod.

[0099] In one optional embodiment, the second lateral drive assembly includes a second lateral drive member and a second lateral transmission member, wherein the second lateral drive member is drive-connected to the second lateral transmission member.

[0100] In one optional embodiment, both the first lateral drive member and the second lateral drive member are motors, and both the first lateral transmission member and the second lateral transmission member are lead screw transmission assemblies.

[0101] In an optional embodiment, the translation mechanism 600 includes a first translation component and a second translation component, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the transfer chamber for transferring the carrier in the heating chamber 101 to the transfer chamber 102. Each of the first and second translation components has a translation drive 601 and a translation support component. The translation support component includes a translation transmission 604 and a translation support rod 601. The translation support rod 601 includes a translation connecting section and a translation support section connected to the translation connecting section. One side of the translation support section has multiple spaced abutment platforms. The translation connecting section is connected to the translation drive through the translation transmission 604, enabling the translation drive 601 to drive the translation support section to extend into the heating chamber 101 to clamp or support the carrier, and then transfer the carrier from the heating chamber 101 to the transfer chamber 102.

[0102] In an optional embodiment, the translational transmission component 604 includes a translational slide rail and a translational slider, a translational connecting section is connected to the translational slider, the translational slider is slidably connected in the translational slide rail, and the translational slide rail extends from one end of the material transfer chamber 102 toward the heating chamber 101.

[0103] In an alternative embodiment, the translation transmission 604 includes a translation belt that is driven in connection with the translation drive 601, the translation drive 601 includes a translation motor, and the translation slider is fixed on the translation belt, such that the translation motor can drive the translation slider to move from one end of the translation slide rail to the other end of the translation slide rail.

[0104] In one optional embodiment, the translation transmission component 601 includes a first translation pulley and a second translation pulley, which are spaced apart at both ends of the translation slide rail. A translation belt is connected to the first translation pulley and the second translation pulley. A translation motor is connected to the first translation pulley or the second translation pulley for driving the first translation pulley or the second translation pulley to rotate.

[0105] In one optional embodiment, the translation drive includes a translation transmission connecting rod 605, which is connected between the first translation pulley of the first translation component and the first translation pulley of the second translation component, and the translation motor is driven by the translation transmission connecting rod.

[0106] In one alternative embodiment, the translation transmission component includes a translation cylinder 603, and the translation connecting section is fixed to the translation slider by the translation cylinder 603, so that the translation support section clamps the carrier.

[0107] In one optional embodiment, the translation transmission component 603 includes a translation adjustment block and an L-shaped translation fixing block. The translation connecting section is fixed on the translation fixing block, the translation adjustment block is connected to the piston rod of the translation cylinder, and the translation fixing block is connected to the translation adjustment block.

[0108] In one optional embodiment, the translation fixed block is provided with a translation positioning slide, and the translation adjustment block is provided with a translation positioning groove along the height direction, and the translation positioning slide is slidably connected in the translation positioning groove.

[0109] In one optional embodiment, the translation support is provided with a translation roller 606, which is mounted on the translation support section and faces the inside of the translation support section.

[0110] In an alternative embodiment, the oven apparatus further includes a side guard assembly 800, which is installed in the transfer chamber 102 to confine the carrier 100a within the transfer chamber 102.

[0111] For example, the edge guard assembly 800 includes an edge guard door 801, a rotating block 802, and a limiting member 803. The edge guard door 801 is rotatably mounted on the rotating block 802, the rotating block 802 is fixed on the frame, and the limiting member 803 is connected to the edge guard door 801 to limit the rotation angle of the edge guard door 801.

[0112] After adopting the above technical solution, if the core package 100d needs to be heated, the core package 100d is welded to the iron strip 100c, and then the iron strip 100c is placed on the carrier 100a. Finally, multiple carriers 100as are stacked on the trolley 100b, and the trolley 100b is pushed into the heating chamber 101 for heating. When the heated core package 100d needs to be removed for processing, the iron strip 100c can be taken out from the picking port sequentially through the picking mechanism 200, and then the iron strip 100c is transferred to the next station for core package 100d processing through the picking mechanism 200. At this time, the heat insulation mechanism 500 can close the picking port at any time to prevent the core package 100d in the heating chamber 101 from being exposed to the air, thus ensuring the heat insulation effect of the core package 100d in the heating chamber 101. After the iron bars 100c of the uppermost carrier 100a in the heating chamber 101 are removed, the translation mechanism 600 moves the carrier 100a, which has completely removed the iron bars 100c, to the transfer chamber 102. Then, the front lifting mechanism 301 lifts the lower carrier 100a and positions it through the positioning mechanism 400. The rear lifting mechanism 302 lowers the carrier 100a on the transfer chamber 102 so that a new carrier 100a can be placed on top of the carrier 100a. This achieves automatic processing of each process, simplifies the process, realizes automatic control and automatic production, reduces labor waste, and enables uninterrupted continuous operation, adapting to rapid and large-scale production methods.

[0113] Specifically, when the core package 100d needs to be processed, the core package 100d is welded onto the iron strip 100c, and then multiple iron strips 100c are placed on the carrier 100a. Then, the multiple carriers 100a stacked on the trolley 100b are pushed into the heating chamber 101 for heating by the trolley 100b.

[0114] After the core package 100d is heated in the heating chamber 101 for a period of time, the first translation component 204 drives the first gripping component to move from the left end to above the heat insulation mechanism 500. The first lateral drive component 503 drives the heat insulation layer to move one unit in the direction of the first translation component 204 to open the material inlet 1011, so that the first gripping component can pass through the material inlet 1011 into the heating chamber 101 to take out one of the iron bars 100c on the carrier 100a. Then, the first lateral drive component 503 drives the heat insulation layer to move one unit in the opposite direction of the first translation component 204 to close the material inlet 1011. The second lateral drive component 504 drives the first lateral drive component 503 and the heat insulation layer to move one unit in the direction of the first translation component 204, so that the material inlet 1011 formed by the heat insulation layer can move one unit in the direction of the first translation component 204. One unit can be that the material inlet 1011 is greater than the minimum width distance required for the first gripping component to enter the heating chamber 101 from the material inlet 1011.

[0115] After the first gripping assembly removes the iron bar 100c from the heating chamber 101, the first lateral drive assembly 503 and the second lateral drive assembly 504 close and relocate the material handling port 1011 so that the first gripping assembly can remove the iron bar 100c from the heating chamber 101 more quickly next time. This only requires opening the material handling port 1011 via the first lateral drive assembly 503, while also preventing the iron bar 100c inside the heating chamber 101 from being exposed to air. Furthermore, the first lifting screw assembly 2033 lifts the first gripping assembly, the first translation assembly 204 drives the first gripping assembly to move to the frame 100, and the first lifting screw assembly 2033 lowers the first gripping assembly to the next workstation. The first gripping assembly then releases the iron bar 100c for processing at the next workstation. Since the next station is located at one end of the frame 100, such as the left or right end, the height difference between the next station and the heat insulation mechanism 500 can be arbitrarily defined without needing to be set according to the fit of the frame 100, and can also be a value greater than 150.

[0116] The carrier 100a includes a first carrier at the top and a second carrier located below the first carrier. The first carrier is close to the material pick-up port 1011. After the iron bars 100c on the first carrier are moved to the next workstation for processing by the first material pick-up mechanism 200, the first carrier no longer has iron bars 100c. The translation mechanism 600 moves the first carrier from the heating chamber 101 to the material transfer chamber 102. The translation drive 601 drives the translation support section to move along the translation slide rail and extend into the heating chamber 101. Then, the translation cylinder 603 drives the translation support section to clamp the carrier and move the carrier from the heating chamber 101 to the material transfer chamber 102. This avoids the carrier from getting stuck due to inertia during the movement and thus failing to be accurately transferred to the rear lifting mechanism 302.

[0117] After the first carrier in the heating chamber 101 is transferred to the transfer chamber 102 by the translation mechanism 600, the chain drive assembly drives the lifting mounting plate 30115 to move the lifting gripper 30111 downward along the lifting guide rod 3013. During the downward movement, the lifting gripper 30111 is squeezed upward by the outer wall of the second carrier and rotates away from the second carrier. When the lifting mounting plate 30115 is between the second carrier and the carrier below, since there is a gap between the two carriers, the lifting gripper 30111 is not squeezed by the outer wall of the second carrier in the gap and recovers under the action of gravity. The original state allows the second carrier to be moved upward along the lifting guide rod 3013 under the drive of the chain drive assembly, thereby driving the second carrier to rise; or the chain drive assembly drives the lifting mounting plate 30115 to drive the lifting gripper 30111 to move downward along the lifting guide rod 3013 until it is below the last carrier 100a that contacts the trolley 100b, thereby controlling the rise of the second carrier by lifting the last carrier 100a upward. However, there are specific requirements for the lifting gripper 30111 and the chain drive assembly at this time, especially the torque of the chain drive assembly, which is not limited in this application.

[0118] The upper end of the lifting guide rod 3013 is fixed to the upper end of the heating chamber 101, and the lower end of the lifting guide rod 3013 is floatingly connected to the lower end of the heating chamber 101. This is to accommodate the deformation of the lifting guide rod 3013 caused by excessive temperature in the heating chamber 101, thereby ensuring that the lifting guide rod 3013 will never bend. Especially in the case of thermal expansion and contraction, fixing the two ends of the lifting guide rod 3013 is safer and ensures that the lifting guide rod 3013 will not bend due to deformation during the heating process.

[0119] After the lifting mechanism 301 lifts the second carrier to the feeding port 1011, the positioning drive drives the positioning grippers 403 and the verification component 404 at both ends of the feeding port 1011 to move towards each other. That is, the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure move towards each other, so that the positioning grippers 403 can position the left and right ends of the second carrier, while the verification component 404 can position the rear end of the second carrier. The front end of the second carrier is positioned by the positioning vertical beam on the door panel of the heating cavity 101, so that the second carrier can be positioned relative to the feeding port 1011. Of course, the rear end of the second carrier can also be positioned by the positioning vertical beam at the rear end of the heating chamber 101. The first carrier also needs to be positioned by the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure to ensure that the first gripping component can accurately grip the iron bar 100c from the carrier 100a every time. At the same time, the first gripping component can also detect the iron bar 100c it grips through the iron bar detection component 206. If the iron bar detection component 206 detects that the first gripping component has not gripped the iron bar 100c, it will continue to grip the iron bar 100c. If the iron bar 100c is not detected within a preset number of times, it is determined that there is no iron bar 100c on the carrier 100a, and the translation mechanism 600 can... The carrier 100a, after having picked up the iron bars 100c, is transferred to the transfer chamber 102. The front lifting mechanism 301 can lift the carrier 100a below to continue picking up iron bars 100c to the next workstation for processing. Similarly, the rear lifting mechanism 302 can move the carrier 100a transferred from the heating chamber 101 downward and place it in the trolley in the transfer chamber 102 so that more carriers 100a can be stacked on the trolley in the transfer chamber 102. Alternatively, if the iron bar detection component 206 determines that there are no iron bars 100c on the carrier 100a and there are no extra carriers 100a in the heating chamber 101, it will urge the user to add carriers 100a to prevent the equipment from stopping. The heating chamber 101 and the transfer chamber 102 are insulated by a heat-insulating door assembly 900 to prevent heat from the heating chamber 101 from escaping through the opening between the heating chamber 101 and the transfer chamber 102. When the translation mechanism 600 needs to transfer the carrier from the heating chamber 101 to the transfer chamber 102, the heat-insulating door assembly 900 opens; after the carrier has been transferred from the heating chamber 101 to the transfer chamber 102, the heat-insulating door assembly 900 closes.

[0120] In this application, the lifting mechanism 300, positioning mechanism 400, heat insulation mechanism 500, translation mechanism 600, material handling mechanism 200, and heat preservation door assembly 900 are all controlled by the control assembly 700. Meanwhile, the front lifting mechanism 301 controls the lifting and lowering of the clamping assemblies 3011 at both ends of the heating chamber 101 through a chain drive motor and chain transmission rod 3014. The structure of the rear lifting mechanism 302 is roughly the same as that of the front lifting mechanism 301, and it also controls the lifting and lowering of the clamping assemblies 3011 at both ends of the material transfer chamber 102 through a chain drive motor and chain transmission rod 3014. The translation mechanism 600 drives the translation support rods 601 on both sides of the material transfer chamber to move toward the heating chamber 101 through a translation motor and translation transmission connecting rod. The structure is very simple and does not require too many motors, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost of the equipment.
