Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of refractory brick production technology, and specifically relates to a high-efficiency refractory brick unloading machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of refractory brick production lines, because bricks deform after firing in the kiln, the shape of the brick blanks changes significantly. Therefore, after the refractory bricks exit the kiln, they are usually unloaded manually. However, this method is labor-intensive for workers and has low unloading efficiency. If conventional mechanical devices or robotic arms are used to position and grasp the fired refractory bricks, not only is the failure rate high, but the cycle time also cannot meet production requirements, resulting in low unloading efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a high-efficiency refractory brick unloading machine that can automatically complete the unloading of refractory bricks from the kiln, with high unloading efficiency and reduced labor input, which is conducive to increasing refractory brick production capacity and reducing the energy consumption of refractory brick production.

[0004] The efficient refractory brick unloading machine according to an embodiment of the present invention has a first direction, a second direction, and a vertical direction that are perpendicular to each other, and includes:

[0005] A belt conveyor, the conveying direction of which extends along a second direction;

[0006] The billet-turning device is arranged along a second direction with the belt conveyor. The billet-turning device includes a reciprocating motion mechanism, a swinging mechanism, and pressure strip components. Multiple pressure strip components are provided and arranged at intervals along a first direction. Each pressure strip component has a pressing part. The swinging mechanism is used to drive the pressure strip components to swing downward about an axis extending along the first direction so that the pressing part abuts against the top of the refractory brick. The reciprocating motion mechanism is used to drive the swinging mechanism to move along the second direction so that the pressing part pushes the refractory brick to the belt conveyor.

[0007] A motion device is used to drive the belt conveyor and the blank-turning device to move in the vertical direction and the second direction.

[0008] The efficient refractory brick unloading machine according to embodiments of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: When unloading refractory bricks from the kiln car, a motion device drives the belt conveyor and the unloading device to move along the second direction and approach the refractory bricks. Then, a swing mechanism drives all the pressure strip components to swing downwards, so that the pressing part of each pressure strip component applies a downward pressure force to the corresponding refractory brick. Immediately afterwards, a reciprocating motion mechanism drives the swing mechanism and all the pressure strip components to move along the second direction and approach the belt conveyor. During this process, the pressing part of the pressure strip component will always be in contact with the refractory brick. The refractory bricks are brought into contact and pushed, causing them to fall onto the belt conveyor and be transported forward a certain distance. Subsequently, the belt conveyor and the unloading device continue to move in the second direction under the action of the motion device to unload the next row of refractory bricks. When the belt conveyor has carried a sufficient number of refractory bricks, it will move in the opposite direction to transfer the refractory bricks to the conveyor line. After unloading the previous layer of refractory bricks from the kiln car, the motion device will drive the belt conveyor and the unloading device to move downwards to unload the next layer of refractory bricks.

[0009] Because the refractory bricks are constantly subjected to the force of the pressure strip components during the pouring process, they can land smoothly on the belt conveyor, ensuring the integrity of the refractory bricks and reducing the product defect rate. Moreover, after a row of refractory bricks is transferred from the kiln car to the belt conveyor, the unloading device can continue to unload the next row of refractory bricks without waiting for them to be transferred off the belt conveyor until there are enough refractory bricks on the belt conveyor. Therefore, the refractory brick unloading machine in this embodiment can continuously unload multiple rows of refractory bricks, which can improve the unloading efficiency and ensure that the cycle time of the refractory brick unloading machine can match the production speed of refractory bricks, thereby helping to increase the production capacity of refractory bricks and reduce the energy consumption in the refractory brick production process.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, the belt conveyor includes a first conveying mechanism and a second conveying mechanism arranged and connected along a second direction, the conveying plane of the first conveying mechanism extending along the second direction, the second conveying mechanism being located between the first conveying mechanism and the pressure strip member, and the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism being inclined downward along the direction from the first conveying mechanism toward the pressure strip member.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, the high-efficiency refractory brick unloading machine further includes a brick pushing device.

The first rotary drive assembly is used to drive the first connecting shaft to rotate so that the brick pushing part presses against the refractory brick and pushes it upward along the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, each of the pressure strip components includes a flower wheel and a first rubber strip. The first rubber strip has multiple strips that are evenly arranged around the flower wheel in the circumference. One end of the first rubber strip is connected to the flower wheel.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the high-efficiency refractory brick unloading machine further includes a control device, a first through-beam sensor, and a second through-beam sensor. The first through-beam sensor is disposed on the unloading device and located below the pressure strip component to determine that the pressure strip component is above the refractory brick. The second through-beam sensor is disposed on one end of the second conveying mechanism near the unloading device and located below the pressure strip component to determine that the pressure strip component pushes the refractory brick to a set position. The control device is electrically connected to the first through-beam sensor and the unloading device, and is configured to: control the moving device to stop based on the detection signal of the first through-beam sensor; the control device is electrically connected to the second through-beam sensor, the brick pushing device, and the second conveying mechanism, and is further configured to: control the brick pushing device and the second conveying mechanism to stop based on the detection signal of the second through-beam sensor.

The upper end of the second rubber strip is connected to the second connecting shaft through the mounting bracket. A second tooth is provided on one side of the second rubber strip. Multiple second teeth are provided and arranged along the extension direction of the second rubber strip to form the pressing part. The second rotary drive assembly is used to drive the second connecting shaft to rotate so that the pressing part abuts against the refractory brick.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, the belt conveyor further includes a brick-supporting mechanism, which includes a third rotary drive assembly, a third connecting shaft, and a support plate. The third connecting shaft extends along a first direction, and the support plate is located between the second conveying mechanism and the pressure strip component to support refractory bricks. Multiple support plates are provided and spaced apart along the first direction from the third connecting shaft. The third rotary drive assembly is used to drive the third connecting shaft to rotate so that the support plate swings downward and delivers the refractory bricks to the second conveying mechanism.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The following are some embodiments of the efficient refractory brick unloading machine of the present invention.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the high-efficiency refractory brick unloading machine provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention has a first direction, a second direction, and a vertical direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction and the vertical direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the first direction is defined as the front-back direction, and the second direction is the left-right direction.

[0041] The refractory brick unloading machine of this embodiment includes a belt conveyor 410, a brick-turning device 420, and a motion device.

[0042] The conveying direction of the belt conveyor 410 extends along the second direction. The billet-turning device 420 is arranged along the second direction with the belt conveyor 410. In this embodiment, the billet-turning device 420 is located to the right of the belt conveyor 410, which is capable of conveying the refractory bricks 600 from right to left. The end of the belt conveyor 410 closest to the billet-turning device 420 is the feed end, and the opposite end is the discharge end.

[0043] The blanking device 420 includes a reciprocating motion mechanism, a swing mechanism, and a pressing strip component.

[0044] The system comprises multiple pressure strip components, arranged at regular intervals along a first direction. Each pressure strip component has a pressing part. It is understood that the number of pressure strip components corresponds to the number of refractory bricks 600 in each row on the kiln car 500, with multiple pressure strip components corresponding one-to-one with multiple refractory bricks 600 in each row. The interval between any two adjacent pressure strip components can be set according to the interval between any two refractory bricks 600 in each row on the kiln car 500, and is not specifically limited here.

[0045] The oscillating mechanism drives the pressure strip components to oscillate clockwise or counterclockwise around an axis extending in the first direction. The reciprocating mechanism drives the oscillating mechanism to move back and forth in the second direction. Understandably, when unloading the refractory brick 600 from the kiln car 500, the oscillating mechanism drives all the pressure strip components to oscillate downwards, so that the pressing part of each pressure strip component can abut against the top of the corresponding refractory brick 600. At this time, the pressing part of the pressure strip component applies a certain pressure to the refractory brick 600. Then, driven by the reciprocating mechanism, the oscillating mechanism and the pressure strip components move in the second direction, allowing the pressing parts to push the refractory brick 600 over, causing it to tilt onto the belt conveyor 410. The distance between the pressure strip components and the belt conveyor 410 in the second direction is sufficient to allow the pressure strip components to push the refractory brick 600 over onto the belt conveyor 410.

[0046] The function of the motion device is to drive the belt conveyor 410 and the blank-turning device 420 to move together. Under the action of the motion device, the belt conveyor 410 and the blank-turning device 420 can move in the vertical direction or in a second direction.

[0047] The working process of the refractory brick unloading machine provided in this embodiment is as follows: After the kiln car 500 moves to the set position along the kiln car guide rail 510, the kiln car 500 can be locked. At this time, the kiln car 500 carries multiple layers of refractory bricks 600 arranged in the vertical direction. Each layer of refractory bricks 600 has multiple rows of refractory bricks 600, and each row of refractory bricks 600 has multiple refractory bricks 600. Any two adjacent layers of refractory bricks 600 are stacked in a crisscross arrangement. For example, if the length direction of the top layer of refractory bricks 600 is the first direction, then the length direction of the next layer of refractory bricks 600 is the second direction.

[0048] When unloading refractory bricks 600 from the kiln car 500, each layer of refractory bricks 600 needs to be unloaded from top to bottom. First, the motion device is activated, causing the belt conveyor 410 and the unloading device 420 to move together in the second direction and approach the topmost layer of refractory bricks 600. After the unloading device 420 moves into position, the pressure strip component is positioned above the first row of refractory bricks 600 in the topmost layer. The unloading device 420 is located between the refractory bricks 600 and the belt conveyor 410.

[0049] Then, the oscillating mechanism is activated, causing all the pressure strip components to swing downwards at a certain angle, so that the pressing part of each pressure strip component can contact the top of the corresponding refractory brick 600 and apply a certain downward pressure force. Next, the reciprocating motion mechanism is activated, causing it to drive the oscillating mechanism and all the pressure strip components to move in the second direction and approach the belt conveyor 410. During this process, the pressing part of the pressure strip component remains in contact with and presses against the refractory brick 600, causing the refractory brick 600 to tip over onto the feed end of the belt conveyor 410 under the pushing force of the pressure strip component.

[0050] After the refractory bricks 600 are pushed onto the belt conveyor 410 by the pressure strip component, the oscillating mechanism drives the pressure strip component to swing upwards. Immediately afterwards, the reciprocating mechanism operates, driving the oscillating mechanism and the pressure strip component to move in the opposite direction along the second direction, returning to their initial positions. Simultaneously, the belt conveyor 410 is activated, transporting the tilted refractory bricks 600 along the second direction, moving them a certain distance away from the kiln car 500. Subsequently, the belt conveyor 410 stops operating, allowing the next row of refractory bricks 600 to tilt onto it.

[0051] Next, the belt conveyor 410 and the billet unloading device 420 continue to move a certain distance along the second direction under the action of the motion device, so that the pressure strip component moves above the next row of refractory bricks 600, and the above operation is repeated to unload the next row of refractory bricks 600.

[0052] Once the belt conveyor 410 has carried a sufficient number of refractory bricks 600, the belt conveyor 410 and the unloading device 420 will move in the opposite direction along the second direction under the drive of the motion device, so that the belt conveyor 410 reaches the conveyor line. After the discharge end of the belt conveyor 410 is connected to the conveyor line, the belt conveyor 410 operates to transport and transfer the refractory bricks 600 onto the conveyor line.

[0053] After unloading the entire layer of refractory bricks 600 from the kiln car 500, the refractory bricks 600 on the kiln car 500 need to rotate 90°. Then, the motion device will drive the belt conveyor 410 and the unloading device 420 to move downwards a certain distance to unload the next layer of refractory bricks 600. Through the above operation, each layer of refractory bricks 600 on the kiln car 500 is unloaded until all the refractory bricks 600 on the kiln car 500 are unloaded.

[0054] Understandably, since the refractory brick 600 is constantly subjected to the force of the pressure strip component during the pouring process, the pressure strip component can control the pouring speed of the refractory brick 600 and prevent the refractory brick 600 from being poured too fast. Therefore, the refractory brick 600 can fall smoothly onto the belt conveyor device 410, ensuring that the refractory brick 600 is intact as a whole and reducing the product defect rate.

[0055] Furthermore, once a row of refractory bricks 600 is transferred from the kiln car 500 to the belt conveyor 410, it can be temporarily stored without waiting for the refractory bricks 600 to be transferred from the belt conveyor 410 to the conveyor line. Then, the unloading device 420 can continue to unload the next row of refractory bricks 600 until the number of refractory bricks 600 on the belt conveyor 410 reaches the maximum load capacity. Therefore, the refractory brick unloading machine of this embodiment can continuously unload multiple rows of refractory bricks 600, which can improve the brick unloading efficiency and make the cycle time of the refractory brick unloading machine match the production speed of the refractory bricks 600, thereby helping to increase the production capacity of refractory bricks 600 and reduce the energy consumption in the production process of refractory bricks 600.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the belt conveyor device 410 includes a first conveying mechanism 412 and a second conveying mechanism 418. The first conveying mechanism 412 and the second conveying mechanism 418 are arranged along a second direction, and the conveying planes of the first conveying mechanism 412 and the second conveying mechanism 418 are connected to each other. The second conveying mechanism 418 is located between the first conveying mechanism 412 and the pressure strip member, so that the refractory brick 600 can be transferred from the second conveying mechanism 418 to the first conveying mechanism 412.

[0057] The conveying plane of the first conveying mechanism 412 extends along the second direction, and the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418 is inclined. Specifically, the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418 is inclined downwards along the direction from the first conveying mechanism 412 toward the pressure strip component. The angle between the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418 and the horizontal plane is an acute angle. The angle of the acute angle can be set according to the actual situation. Generally, the acute angle can be 5° to 30°.

[0058] Understandably, with this configuration, as the pressure strip pushes the refractory brick 600 down, the refractory brick 600 tilts downward from a vertical position. The conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418 is inclined, which can well support the refractory brick 600, without the refractory brick 600 tilting to a horizontal position. Moreover, during this process, the pressure strip can effectively apply force to the refractory brick 600 and protect it, allowing the refractory brick 600 to tilt stably and fall onto the second conveying mechanism 418.

[0059] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the belt conveyor 410 includes a conveyor bracket 411, a first motor 413, a transmission main shaft, a driving wheel, a first driven wheel, a second driven wheel, a first belt, and a second belt.

[0060] The transmission main shaft is mounted on the conveying bracket 411 via bearings and extends along a first direction. A first motor 413 is mounted on the conveying bracket 411 and connected to one end of the transmission main shaft via a reducer. Multiple drive wheels are arranged at certain intervals along the first direction and are mounted on the transmission main shaft. Each drive wheel has two belt grooves, corresponding to the first belt and the second belt, respectively.

[0061] The first driven wheel is mounted on the conveying bracket 411 via a rotating shaft. Multiple first driven wheels are arranged at intervals along a first direction. A first belt is wound between the driving wheel and the first driven wheels, thus forming the first conveying mechanism 412. The second driven wheel is mounted on the conveying bracket 411 via a rotating shaft. Multiple second driven wheels are arranged at intervals along a first direction. A second belt is wound between the driving wheel and the second driven wheel, thus forming the second conveying mechanism 418.

[0062] Furthermore, a support roller can be provided. The support roller is installed on the conveyor bracket 411 through a bearing, so that the support roller provides support for the first belt or the second belt, thereby preventing the first belt and the second belt from deforming too much due to the weight of the refractory bricks 600, which could lead to the first belt and the second belt being easily broken.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the structure of the refractory brick unloading kiln machine also includes a brick pushing device 430. The motion device is also used to drive the brick pushing device 430 to move in the vertical direction and the second direction. That is, when the motion device is running, the brick pushing device 430, the belt conveyor device 410 and the brick pouring device 420 move together.

[0064] The structure of the brick pushing device 430 includes a first rotary drive assembly, a first connecting shaft 433, and a pressure strip assembly.

[0065] The first connecting shaft 433 extends along a first direction. The pressure strip assembly is located above the second conveying mechanism 418 and close to the pressure strip component; that is, the pressure strip assembly is located at the feed end of the belt conveyor 410. There are multiple pressure strip assemblies, arranged at intervals along the first direction, and all pressure strip assemblies are fixedly mounted on the first connecting shaft 433. It can be understood that the number of pressure strip assemblies can be one or two times the number of pressure strip components; if it is two times, it means that two pressure strip assemblies correspond to one refractory brick 600.

[0066] Each pressure strip assembly has a brick-pushing part, which is used to apply an upward pushing force to the refractory bricks 600 that are being poured onto the second conveying mechanism 418, making it easier for the refractory bricks 600 to be conveyed upward by the second conveying mechanism 418. At this time, the refractory bricks 600 are tilted downward under the action of the pressure strip assembly and come into contact with the second belt at the second driven wheel.

[0067] The function of the first rotary drive assembly is to drive the first connecting shaft 433 to rotate, so that the brick-pushing part of the pressure strip assembly can press against the refractory brick 600 and push it upward along the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418. It can be understood that the first rotary drive assembly may include a motor and a transmission structure, and the transmission structure may be a reducer or a coupling.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the pressure bar component is located on the right side of the belt conveyor 410, and the pressure bar assembly is located on the left side of the pressure bar component. The pressure bar assembly will rotate clockwise under the driving action of the first rotary drive component.

[0069] Understandably, the brick-pushing device 430 is designed so that when the brick-pouring device 420 pushes the refractory bricks 600 on the kiln car 500 to the second conveying mechanism 418, the brick-pushing part of the pressure strip assembly rotates at a certain angle under the action of the first rotary drive assembly, causing the brick-pushing part to press against the refractory bricks 600, resulting in friction between the brick-pushing part and the refractory bricks 600. At the same time, the second conveying mechanism 418 is started. Since there is also a certain friction between the second conveying mechanism 418 and the lower surface of the refractory bricks 600, the refractory bricks 600 can move upward along the inclined conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418 with the cooperation of the second conveying mechanism 418 and the brick-pushing part.

[0070] Therefore, through the above settings, it is possible to ensure that the refractory bricks 600 move along the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418 to the first conveying mechanism 412, and to reduce the friction between the second conveying mechanism 418 and the refractory bricks 600, that is, to reduce the performance requirements of the second belt of the second conveying mechanism 418, such as roughness. Moreover, the inclination of the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418 can be increased, so that the second conveying mechanism 418 can better support the refractory bricks 600 that are tilted down. While ensuring that the refractory bricks 600 are intact, the time it takes for the refractory bricks 600 to tilt from a vertical position to the second conveying mechanism 418 can be reduced, which helps to improve the brick unloading efficiency.

[0071] In some examples, each pressure strip assembly includes a flower wheel 434 and a first adhesive strip 432. Multiple first adhesive strips 432 are provided, evenly arranged around the circumference of the flower wheel 434. One end of each first adhesive strip 432 is connected to the flower wheel 434. Specifically, multiple first adhesive strips 432 are mounted on the flower wheel 434 via a fixing bracket. Furthermore, one side of each first adhesive strip 432 has a first tooth, integrally formed with the first adhesive strip 432. Multiple first teeth are provided, arranged along the extending direction of the first adhesive strip 432 to form a pushing section.

[0072] In this embodiment, the flower wheel 434 is disc-shaped. Each flower wheel 434 is provided with four first rubber strips 432. Under the action of the first rotary drive assembly, one or two first rubber strips 432 can be used to apply a pushing force to the same refractory brick 600. It can be understood that when the first rubber strip 432 presses against the refractory brick 600, the first teeth contact the surface of the refractory brick 600. The provision of the first teeth enhances the friction between the first rubber strip 432 and the refractory brick 600, making it easier for the first rubber strip 432 to push the refractory brick 600 upward along the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418.

[0073] In one specific example, the first adhesive strip 432 is long and straight. In another specific example, the first adhesive strip 432 is arc-shaped, and when the first adhesive strip 432 contacts the refractory brick 600, the convex surface of the first adhesive strip 432 faces the refractory brick 600, and the first tooth is located on the convex surface of the first adhesive strip 432.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the swing mechanism includes a second connecting shaft 427 and a second rotation drive assembly.

[0075] The second connecting shaft 427 extends along the first direction. Each pressure strip component includes a second adhesive strip 428 and a mounting bracket 429. The upper end of the second adhesive strip 428 is fixedly connected to the second connecting shaft 427 via the mounting bracket 429. One side of the second adhesive strip 428 is provided with a second tooth, which is integrally formed with the second adhesive strip 428. Multiple second teeth are provided and arranged along the extending direction of the second adhesive strip 428 to form a pressing part.

[0076] In one specific example, the second adhesive strip 428 is long and straight. In another specific example, the second adhesive strip 428 is arc-shaped, with the convex surface of the second adhesive strip 428 located below the concave surface, and the second tooth located on the convex surface of the second adhesive strip 428.

[0077] The function of the second rotary drive assembly is to drive the second connecting shaft 427 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around its central axis. Under the drive of the second rotary drive assembly, the second connecting shaft 427 rotates, causing the second rubber strip 428 to swing downwards, allowing the pressing part to abut against the refractory brick 600. It is understood that the second rotary drive assembly can be a rotary cylinder or a motor, etc.

[0078] In this embodiment, the refractory brick unloading machine also includes a connecting frame 440, and the brick-pouring device 420, the brick-pushing device 430 and the belt conveyor device 410 are all installed on the connecting frame 440. The output end of the motion device is connected to the connecting frame 440.

[0079] Specifically, for the belt conveyor 410, the conveyor bracket 411 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 440 via a connecting rod. For the brick pushing device 430, the first rotary drive assembly includes a second motor 431 and a reducer, the second motor 431 and the reducer are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 440, and the first connecting shaft 433 is mounted on the bottom of the connecting frame 440 via a bearing seat.

[0080] For the blanking device 420, the reciprocating motion mechanism includes a translation frame 421, a push rod 422, a push plate 423, a third transmission shaft 424, and a third rotary drive component 425.

[0081] The translation frame 421 is mounted on the connecting frame 440 via a slide rail slider pair, allowing the translation frame 421 to slide relative to the connecting frame 440 in the second direction. A third rotary drive 425 is mounted on the connecting frame 440, and its output end is connected to a third drive shaft 424. The third rotary drive 425 may include a motor and a reducer. The third drive shaft 424 extends along the first direction and is mounted on the connecting frame 440 via a bearing seat. Two push plates 423 are provided, respectively located at opposite ends of the third drive shaft 424. The push plates 423 are disc-shaped and coaxially connected to the third drive shaft 424. A push rod 422 is provided between the push plate 423 and the translation frame 421. The push rod 422 extends along the second direction, with one end hinged to the translation frame 421 and the other end hinged to the push plate 423. The push rod 422 and the push plate 423 are eccentrically connected.

[0082] Therefore, during the operation of the third rotary drive 425, the push plate 423 is driven to rotate through the third transmission shaft 424. The push plate 423 will drive the push rod 422 to move, so that the push rod 422 will drive the translation frame 421 to reciprocate along the second direction.

[0083] Of course, it is not ruled out that linear drive devices such as telescopic cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and linear modules may be used to drive the translation frame 421 to move back and forth.

[0084] The second connecting shaft 427 is mounted on the bottom of the translation frame 421 via a bearing seat. The second rotary drive assembly includes a second cylinder 426 and a connecting arm. The second cylinder 426 is located above the second connecting shaft 427. One end of the second cylinder 426 is hinged to the translation frame 421, and the other end of the second cylinder 426 is hinged to one end of the connecting arm. The other end of the connecting arm is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the second connecting shaft 427. The second cylinder 426 and the connecting arm can be located in the middle position of the second connecting shaft 427. When the movable rod of the second cylinder 426 extends, the second connecting shaft 427 will drive the second rubber strip 428 to swing downward; when the piston rod of the second cylinder 426 retracts, the second connecting shaft 427 will drive the second rubber strip 428 to swing upward.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the refractory brick unloading machine also includes a control device, a first through-beam sensor 450, and a second through-beam sensor.

[0086] The first through-beam sensor 450 is disposed in the billet-turning device 420, located below the pressure strip component. The function of the first through-beam sensor 450 is to determine that the pressure strip component is located above the refractory brick 600. The control device is electrically connected to both the first through-beam sensor 450 and the billet-turning device 420, and is configured to stop the moving device based on the detection signal from the first through-beam sensor 450.

[0087] The second through-beam sensor is mounted on the second conveying mechanism 418, located at one end of the second conveying mechanism 418 near the billet-pouring device 420, and below the pressure strip assembly. The function of the second through-beam sensor is to determine whether the pressure strip assembly has pushed the refractory brick 600 to a set position. The control device is electrically connected to the second through-beam sensor, the brick-pushing device 430, and the second conveying mechanism 418, and is also configured to stop the brick-pushing device 430 and the second conveying mechanism 418 based on the detection signal from the second through-beam sensor.

[0088] It is understood that the first through-beam sensor 450 and the second through-beam sensor are photocells, and the light emitted by the first through-beam sensor 450 and the second through-beam sensor extends along a first direction. The control device can be a PLC controller, a 51 microcontroller, or a host computer, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0089] The first through-beam sensor 450 is installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 440. When the pressure strip component moves above the refractory brick 600 under the action of the motion device, the refractory brick 600 will block the light from the first through-beam sensor 450, causing the first through-beam sensor 450 to generate a detection signal and send it to the control device, so that the control device sends a stop control command to the motion device, causing the billet pouring device 420 and the belt conveyor device 410 to move into place in the second direction.

[0090] The second through-beam sensor is mounted on the conveyor bracket 411, near the feed end of the belt conveyor 410. When the pressure strip assembly, in conjunction with the second conveyor mechanism 418, conveys the refractory brick 600 upwards, the refractory brick 600 blocks the light emitted by the second through-beam sensor. Then, after the refractory brick 600 moves to the set position of the second conveyor mechanism 418, the blocking effect disappears, causing the second through-beam sensor to generate a detection signal, which is then sent to the control device. The control device then sends a stop command to the brick pushing device 430 and the second conveyor mechanism 418, ensuring that the refractory brick 600 remains stably at the set position of the second conveyor mechanism 418.

[0091] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 412 and the second conveying mechanism 418 are driven by the first motor 413. Therefore, the first conveying mechanism 412 and the second conveying mechanism 418 start and stop synchronously.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the belt conveyor 410 also includes a brick-supporting mechanism. The brick-supporting mechanism includes a third rotary drive assembly, a third connecting shaft 414, and a support plate 416.

[0093] The third connecting shaft 414 extends along the first direction and is mounted on the conveying bracket 411 via bearings. In this embodiment, the second driven wheel of the second conveying mechanism 418 is also mounted on the third connecting shaft 414.

[0094] The pallet 416 is located between the second conveying mechanism 418 and the pressure strip component. The function of the pallet 416 is to support the refractory bricks 600. Multiple pallets 416 are provided, arranged at intervals along the first direction, and all are located on the third connecting shaft 414. One end of each pallet 416 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the third connecting shaft 414, and the other end of each pallet 416 has a supporting surface facing upwards and is flat. The pallets 416 and the second belt of the second conveying mechanism 418 are arranged alternately in the first direction.

[0095] The function of the third rotary drive assembly is to drive the third connecting shaft 414 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. Under the third rotary drive assembly, the third connecting shaft 414 can drive the pallet 416 to rotate together, causing the pallet 416 to swing downward and send the refractory brick 600 to the second conveying mechanism 418.

[0096] In a specific example, the third rotary drive assembly includes a first cylinder 417 and a swing arm 415. One end of the first cylinder 417 is hinged to the conveying bracket 411, and the other end of the first cylinder 417 is hinged to one end of the swing arm 415. The other end of the swing arm 415 is fixedly connected to the end of the third connecting shaft 414. The third rotary drive assembly is provided at both opposite ends of the third connecting shaft 414.

[0097] When the movable rod of the first cylinder 417 extends, the third connecting shaft 414 drives the pallet 416 to swing upward, making the supporting surface of the pallet 416 higher than the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418. When the movable rod of the first cylinder 417 retracts, the third connecting shaft 414 drives the pallet 416 to swing downward, making the supporting surface of the pallet 416 lower than the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418, so that the refractory bricks 600 on the supporting surface can be transferred to the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418.

[0098] Understandably, during the brick unloading process, when the pressure strip component pushes the refractory brick 600 to tilt, the third rotary drive assembly drives the pallet 416 to swing towards the refractory brick 600, allowing the refractory brick 600 to contact the supporting surface of the pallet 416. This allows the refractory brick 600 to slowly and safely tilt onto the second conveying mechanism 418 under the pushing force of the pressure strip component and the supporting force of the pallet 416. Then, the refractory brick 600 moves upward with the combined action of the pressure strip component and the second conveying mechanism 418.

[0099] When a brick-carrying mechanism is provided, the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 418 can be a horizontal plane.

[0100] Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the third rotary drive component is a rotary cylinder or a motor.

[0101] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the refractory brick unloading machine also includes an unloading roller table 800.

[0102] The unloading roller table 800 is located on the side of the belt conveyor 410 away from the billet pouring device 420. The conveying plane of the unloading roller table 800 extends along the first direction. Moreover, the unloading roller table 800 is provided with a retaining wheel assembly, which is located on the side of the unloading roller table 800 away from the belt conveyor 410 in the second direction.

[0103] Understandably, when the belt conveyor 410 moves under the drive of the motion device and aligns with the conveying plane of the unloading roller table 800, the belt conveyor 410 starts, successively conveying rows of refractory bricks 600 onto the conveying plane of the unloading roller table 800 along the second direction. Simultaneously, the unloading roller table 800 operates. Because the thrust roller assembly can block and position each row of refractory bricks 600, each refractory brick 600 moves along the first direction on the unloading roller table 800.

[0104] In a specific example, the unloading roller table 800 includes a base frame 810, conveying rollers 820, a fourth rotary drive 840, and supporting side plates 850. Supporting side plates 850 are provided on both sides of the base frame 810 in a second direction. Multiple conveying rollers 820 extend along the second direction and are spaced apart along a first direction. The conveying rollers 820 are mounted on the supporting side plates 850 via bearings. A double-row sprocket is provided at one end of each conveying roller 820. The fourth rotary drive 840 includes a motor and a reducer. The reducer is connected to the double-row sprockets of all the conveying rollers 820 via a chain drive structure. Therefore, when the fourth rotary drive 840 is running, all the conveying rollers 820 can convey the refractory bricks 600 along the first direction.

[0105] The guide roller assembly includes multiple guide rollers 830, which are spaced apart along a first direction. The central axis of each guide roller 830 extends vertically. A guide roller 830 is positioned between any two adjacent conveyor rollers 820. The refractory brick 600 can contact the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 830, and the friction between them is minimal.

[0106] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the refractory brick unloading machine also includes a turntable device 700. The turntable device 700 includes a rotating mechanism and a rotating platform.

[0107] The rotating platform is equipped with a transition track that can connect to the kiln car guide rail 510. The output end of the rotating mechanism is connected to the rotating platform to drive the rotating platform to rotate around an axis extending in the vertical direction.

[0108] Understandably, the kiln car guide rail 510 can extend along the first direction, and the kiln car 500 can move along the kiln car guide rail 510 in the first direction. A transition track is provided on both sides of the transition track in the first direction, allowing the kiln car 500 to move onto the transition track of the rotating platform and lock, thus enabling brick unloading. After brick unloading, the kiln car moves from the transition track to the kiln car guide rail 510 on the other side, so that the next kiln car 500 can move onto the rotating platform.

[0109] The rotating mechanism may include a fixed base, a motor, gears, and a slewing bearing. The rotating platform is mounted on a support shaft of the fixed base via the slewing bearing, allowing the rotating platform to rotate relative to the fixed base. The motor is connected to the slewing bearing via gears, enabling the motor to drive the rotating platform to rotate. This, in turn, causes the kiln car 500 and refractory bricks 600 to rotate 90°, facilitating the unloading of each layer of refractory bricks 600 on the kiln car 500.

[0110] Of course, it is possible that the kiln car 500 is equipped with a turntable mechanism to drive all the refractory bricks 600 to rotate 90°, so that the refractory brick unloading machine can unload each layer of refractory bricks 600 on the kiln car 500.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the motion device includes a frame 100, a servo translation mechanism 200, and a servo lifting mechanism 300.

[0112] The servo translation mechanism 200 is mounted on the frame 100. Its function is to drive the servo lifting mechanism 300 to move along the second direction, enabling precise control of the positions of the servo lifting mechanism 300, the belt conveyor 410, and the blank-turning device 420 in the second direction. The servo lifting mechanism 300 also drives the belt conveyor 410 and the blank-turning device 420 to move vertically, enabling precise control of their vertical positions.

[0113] In a specific example, the frame 100 is formed by four uprights, two crossbeams, and two longitudinal beams connected vertically. The servo translation mechanism 200 includes a translation bracket 210, a first rotary drive 220, a first drive shaft 230, a pulley assembly, and a belt.

[0114] The translation bracket 210 is mounted on the top of the frame 100 via a slide rail slider pair. A belt extends along a second direction, with its opposite ends fixed to the top of the frame 100. A first drive shaft 230 is mounted on the translation bracket 210 via a bearing housing. The first drive shaft 230 extends along a first direction, and pulley assemblies are provided at both opposite ends of the first drive shaft 230. Each pulley assembly includes a driving pulley 240 and driven pulleys 250. The driving pulley 240 is connected to the first drive shaft 230. The driven pulleys 250 are mounted on the translation bracket 210 via a rotating shaft and are located below the driving pulley 240. Two driven pulleys 250 are provided and located on either side of the driving pulley 240 in the second direction. The belt meshes with the driving pulley 240 and the two driven pulleys 250. A first rotary drive component 220 is mounted on the translation bracket 210 and is drive-connected to the first drive shaft 230. The first rotary drive component 220 may include a servo motor and a reducer.

[0115] When the first rotary drive 220 drives the first transmission shaft 230 to rotate clockwise, the translation bracket 210 can move in the second direction; when the first rotary drive 220 drives the first transmission shaft 230 to rotate counterclockwise, the translation bracket 210 can move in the opposite direction in the second direction.

[0116] Of course, a chain can also be used instead of a belt.

[0117] The servo lifting mechanism 300 can be mounted on the translation bracket 210.

[0118] The servo lifting mechanism 300 includes a second rotary drive component 310, a second transmission shaft 320, a drive sprocket 330, a first chain, a second chain, a driven sprocket, a fixed frame, a lifting bracket 350, a transmission sprocket 360, and a counterweight 370.

[0119] The fixed frame is installed on top of the translation bracket 210. The lifting bracket 350 is mounted on the fixed frame via a slide rail slider pair, and the counterweight 370 is also mounted on the fixed frame via a slide rail slider pair. The counterweight 370 and the lifting bracket 350 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, allowing them to slide up and down relative to the fixed frame. Two lifting brackets 350 and two counterweights 370 are provided, with one lifting bracket 350 and one counterweight 370 on each side of the fixed frame in the first direction.

[0120] A drive sprocket 360 is mounted on a fixed frame and positioned above the lifting bracket 350 and the counterweight 370. A first chain is provided between the lifting bracket 350 and the counterweight 370, and the first chain is meshed with the drive sprocket 360. The opposite ends of the first chain are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the lifting bracket 350 and the top of the counterweight 370. The lifting bracket 350 has drive sprockets 360 and first chains on both sides in a second direction.

[0121] The second drive shaft 320 extends along the first direction and is mounted on the top of the fixed frame via a bearing seat. Two drive sprockets 330 are provided at opposite ends of the second drive shaft 320, each corresponding to one of the two lifting brackets 350. A chain connector 351 extending vertically is provided on the top of each lifting bracket 350, located below the drive sprockets 330. The chain connector 351 is rod-shaped, with chain connecting portions at both its upper and lower ends. Therefore, the opposite ends of the second chain are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the chain connector 351, respectively.

[0122] Furthermore, the fixed frame is equipped with a driven sprocket, which corresponds one-to-one with the driving sprocket 330. The driven sprocket is located below the chain connector 351 and the driving sprocket 330. The second chain is engaged with the driving sprocket 330 and the driven sprocket respectively, so that the second chain forms a ring structure after being connected to the upper and lower ends of the chain connector 351.

[0123] During the lifting process of the lifting bracket 350, the driven sprocket is always located below the chain connector 351.

[0124] The second rotary drive component 310 is mounted on top of the fixed frame and is connected to the second drive shaft 320. The second rotary drive component 310 may include a servo motor and a reducer.

[0125] When the second rotary drive 310 drives the second transmission shaft 320 to rotate clockwise, the second chain will cause the lifting bracket 350 to rise, and at this time, the counterweight 370 will move downward. When the second rotary drive 310 drives the second transmission shaft 320 to rotate counterclockwise, the second chain will cause the lifting bracket 350 to move downward, and at this time, the counterweight 370 will rise.

[0126] The belt conveyor 410 and the blank-turning device 420 are mounted on the lifting support 350 via the connecting frame 440.

[0127] The fixed frame includes a first fixed bracket 341 and a second fixed bracket 342. The first fixed bracket 341 extends along a first direction, and the second fixed bracket 342 is located below the first fixed bracket 341. Two second fixed brackets 342 are provided and are respectively fixed to both ends of the first fixed bracket 341 in the first direction. The lifting bracket 350 and the counterweight 370 are both slidably connected to the second fixed bracket 342. Moreover, the second fixed bracket 342 is provided with a protective plate to prevent the counterweight 370 from being exposed.

[0128] Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the servo lifting mechanism 300 adopts linear drive devices such as lead screw linear modules.

[0129] The refractory brick unloading machine is positioned along the direction of travel of the kiln car 500, and the frame 100 of the refractory brick unloading machine spans across the kiln car guide rail 510.

[0130] The refractory brick unloading machine provided in this embodiment of the invention realizes a highly efficient and fully automatic unloading process for refractory brick 600, which helps to realize the automated production line production of refractory brick 600.

[0131] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
