Description

Technical Field

Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloy doors and windows are commonly used building components in modern housing construction, with large usage and many varieties. Most existing aluminum alloy doors and windows consist of frames, sashes, and hardware. The frames and sashes are mostly made of aluminum alloy profiles. The process involves designing a profile cross-section structure that meets the requirements based on the different construction and structural forms of the doors and windows. This cross-section is then made into a mold, and the aluminum alloy is placed into the mold and stretched or extruded to form a standard profile. The profile is then cut to a length commonly used in the industry and transported. After arriving at the door and window manufacturer, the profiles are stored in a profile warehouse. When manufacturing the doors and windows, suitable profiles are taken from the warehouse and cut according to the design requirements. The profiles are cut to the designed length and shape, and then assembled to form frames and sashes. Connecting elements such as corner brackets are added at the profile joints to increase connection strength. The drawback of this process is that, due to the wide variety of door and window types, each requiring different profile types, a large variety of profiles accumulates in warehouses or workshops, occupying significant space and causing chaos in the manufacturing environment. In particular, retrieving profiles is difficult; even when found, they may be buried at the bottom, requiring considerable effort to retrieve a single profile. This results in high labor intensity, low production efficiency, wasted production time, and sometimes even the wrong profile is used, leading to product scrap. Summary of the Invention

[0026] To better illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, such as... Figure 1-6In this example, a rectangular steel plate commonly used in the industry is selected as the fixing plate 22101. Structural elements for connection with the storage device 21, such as fixing screw holes, are provided on the fixing plate 22101, enabling reliable connection with the storage device 21. The horizontal end bracket 22102 is installed on the left end of the horizontal rail 22103, connected to the fixing plate 22101 and perpendicular to the inner surface of the fixing plate 22101, matching the width of the horizontal rail 22103. This design is aesthetically pleasing and protects the horizontal rail 22103 from external impacts. In this example, a dovetail-shaped rail commonly used in the industry is selected as the horizontal rail 22103, which provides strong load-bearing capacity and smooth operation, especially... Stable operation at low speeds; the transverse track 22103 is mounted on the fixed plate 22101 and connected to the fixed plate 22101 to ensure smooth contact and a firm connection between the transverse track 22103 and the fixed plate 22101; a ball screw and nut kinematic pair commonly used in this industry is selected as the transverse transmission screw 22104 and screw nut, respectively. The transverse transmission screw 22104 is mounted on the transverse end bracket 22102 and the right end bracket 22107, and can rotate on these two end brackets. One end is connected to the transverse drive 22108 and can rotate under the drive of the transverse drive 22108; at the same time, the transverse transmission screw 22104 is threaded through the transverse slider 22105. However, by installing a ball screw nut on the horizontal slider 22105, extending through the width of the horizontal slider 22105, and passing the horizontal transmission screw 22104 through the ball screw nut, the horizontal slider 22105 can move linearly along the axis of the horizontal transmission screw 22104 under the drive of the horizontal transmission screw 22104; the horizontal slider 22105 is installed on the transverse guide rail 22103 and engages with the transverse guide rail 22103, allowing it to move along the transverse guide rail 22103; a dovetail-shaped through groove on the horizontal slider 22105 that matches the cross-section of the transverse guide rail 22103 can engage and match with the transverse guide rail 22103 to form a kinematic pair; in the horizontal slider 22105... The 05 also has a longitudinal lead screw hole 22106 for installing the longitudinal lead screw 2212. This hole is perpendicular to the transverse transmission lead screw 22104 and allows the longitudinal lead screw 2212 to pass through the hole. The right end bracket 22107 is installed on the right end of the transverse track 22103 and is perpendicularly connected to the fixing plate 22101. The transverse drive 22108 is a servo motor, which is connected to the right end bracket 22107 and to the automatic control system 4. The power output shaft of the transverse drive 22108 is connected to one end of the transverse transmission lead screw 22104 and can drive the transverse transmission lead screw 22104 to rotate under the command of the automatic control system 4. This completes the implementation of the transverse device.

[0027] In this example, two sets of the aforementioned transverse device are selected, with two devices in each set. The two devices are respectively installed at both ends of the longitudinal beam 222. The two sets are respectively installed at both ends of the upper drive shaft 223 and cooperate with the two longitudinal beams 222. The fixing plate 22101 of the transverse device is connected to the storage device 21. Cooperating with the longitudinal beams 222 and accessories, it enables the transverse movement of the longitudinal beams 222, thereby driving the transverse device's fixing plate 22101, transverse end bracket 22102, transverse rail 22103, transverse drive screw 22104, right end bracket 22107, and transverse drive 22108. All components of this device, except for those mentioned above, move laterally and vertically together. The longitudinal actuator 2211 is mounted on the transverse slider 22105 of the transverse device located at the upper end of the longitudinal beam 222 and connected to the slider. The power output shaft of the longitudinal actuator 2211 is connected to the end of the longitudinal lead screw 2212, enabling it to drive the longitudinal lead screw 2212 to rotate. In this example, the commonly used ball screw and nut kinematic pair in this industry is also selected as the longitudinal lead screw 2212. The longitudinal lead screw 2212 is mounted on the transverse device located at the upper end of the longitudinal beam 222 and the transverse device located at the lower end. Between the two horizontal sliders 22105, and through the longitudinal slider 2222, it is screwed onto the ball screw nut mounted on the longitudinal slider 2222. This improves the accuracy and stability of the movement. The upper or lower end of the longitudinal screw 2212 is connected to the longitudinal drive 2211. When the longitudinal screw 2212 rotates, it can drive the longitudinal slider 2222 to make linear motion, thereby driving the longitudinal beam 222 and all components fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam 222 to make longitudinal motion. The longitudinal slider 2222 is mounted on the longitudinal beam 222 and connected to the longitudinal beam 222. A ball screw nut is installed on the longitudinal slider 2222; the upper drive shaft drive 2210 is a servo motor commonly used in this industry. The upper drive shaft drive 2210 is installed on the upper end of the longitudinal beam 222, connected to the longitudinal beam 222, and connected to the automatic control system 4. The power output shaft of the upper drive shaft drive 2210 is connected to the upper drive shaft 223, which can drive the upper drive shaft 223 to rotate; the upper drive shaft slide 2224 and the lower drive shaft slide 2221 are installed at the upper and lower shaft holes of the longitudinal beam 222, respectively, thus completing the implementation of the support and drive device 221.

[0028] In this example, the flat and vertical claws are angled together. A pin hole or pin shaft is located at the intersection of the flat and vertical claws, connecting to the chain and allowing the claw to swing around the pin shaft. The flat and vertical claws, along with the pin hole or pin shaft, constitute claw 2261. The control rod 2262 is installed at the intersection of the flat and vertical claws, forming an angle with them (135° in this example), and is fixedly connected to claw 2261. One end of the control rod 2262 is connected to the guide wheel 2263. The length of the control rod 2262 should meet the length requirements of the claw 2261's movement trajectory. In this example, a raised control track 229 is used. Two or more guide wheels 2263 are installed on the suspended end of the control rod 2262, allowing it to move along the trajectory defined by the control track 229 and limiting the operating posture of the control rod 2262. This ensures the movement state of the claw 2261. In this example, the claw 2261 has three states: one is that the flat claw is horizontal and the vertical claw is engaged with the chain and stands upright; another is that the vertical claw is horizontal and the flat claw is engaged with the chain and stands upright; and the third is a transition state, which is the state of changing posture when passing through the upper drive wheel 224 or the lower drive wheel 227 from the previous state. This ensures that the profile on the claw 2261 is always supported and will not fall off. In this example, strip steel is used, bent into the shape of the guide wheel 2263's motion trajectory curve, and fixed on the track support plate 228. It is connected to the track support plate 228 and engages with the two guide wheels 2263 to control the two sides of the track 229. The track support plate 228 is installed between the upper drive shaft 223 and the lower drive shaft, and fitted onto the upper drive shaft 223 and the lower drive shaft. The track support plate 228 is connected to other track support plates 228 and longitudinal beams 222 via connecting shafts. Different claw systems are selected according to the length of the profile; in this example, three are arranged in parallel. The connecting shaft is installed on the track support plate 228 or the longitudinal beam 222. The two sides are connected to the longitudinal beam 222, and the middle part is connected to other track support plates 228. In this example, 2-3 connecting shafts are selected and installed horizontally and parallelly. They can support and fix the position of the track support plate 228 stably. In this example, a transmission chain with a carrier commonly used in this industry is selected as the transmission chain 225, and the upper transmission wheel 224 and the lower transmission wheel 227 are selected as sprockets of the same specification. The transmission chain 225 is installed on the outer periphery of the upper transmission wheel 224 and the lower transmission wheel 227 to form a closed loop. The claws are connected to the transmission chain 225 with pins. When the center distance of the transmission chain 225 is 2000, 4-6 claws are evenly arranged on the outer periphery of the transmission chain 225.

[0029] In this example, the support and drive device 221 is mounted on the longitudinal beam 222, connected to the longitudinal beam 222, and located at both ends of the storage and retrieval device 22. It is also connected to the storage device 21 and the automatic control system 4. The longitudinal beam 222 is mounted on both ends of the upper drive shaft 223 and the lower rotating shaft, connecting to the upper drive shaft 223 and the lower drive shaft, thus fixing and supporting the upper drive shaft 223 and the lower drive shaft and ensuring their rotation. In this example, the upper drive shaft 223 and the lower drive shaft are of the same structure. The upper drive shaft 223 is mounted on the upper end of the longitudinal beam 222, and both ends of the upper drive shaft 223 are connected to the two longitudinal beams 222 mounted on both ends of the upper drive shaft 223 via slides, allowing rotation on the longitudinal beam 222. The upper drive shaft 223 or the lower drive shaft is connected to the upper drive shaft drive 2210 mounted on the longitudinal beam 222, enabling rotation within the automatic control system. Under the command of System 4, the upper drive shaft 223 or the lower drive shaft is driven to rotate according to the set pattern; the upper drive wheel 224 is installed on the upper drive shaft 223 and can rotate synchronously with the upper drive shaft 223. In this example, three upper drive wheels 224 and lower drive wheels 227 are installed in pairs and evenly distributed on the upper drive shaft 223 and the lower drive shaft; in this example, the upper drive wheel 224 and the lower drive wheel 227 are both sprockets and mesh with the drive chain 225; the drive chain 225 is installed on the upper drive wheel 224 and the lower drive wheel 227, respectively around the outer circumference of the upper drive wheel 224 and the lower drive wheel 227; the profile support claw 226 is installed on the drive chain 225 and connected to the drive chain 225, and can move together with the drive chain 225; the lower drive wheel 227 is installed on the lower drive shaft and connected to the lower drive shaft, and can rotate together with the lower drive shaft. In this way, the implementation of the storage and retrieval device 22 is completed.

[0030] In this example, the automatic storage and retrieval system 2 for door and window profiles includes a storage device 21, a storage and retrieval device 22, an information positioning system 23, and a transfer device 24. Multiple storage devices 21 are used in this example, arranged in parallel rows within the work area 1 according to a certain pattern. The distance between every two storage devices 21 should be sufficient to accommodate the movement of the storage and retrieval device 22 within that distance, while also satisfying the movement and stopping of the transfer device 24. Based on the settings of the automatic control system 4, the information positioning system 23 is arranged within the work area 1, including a position signal generator, coordinate guidance, and a road direction guidance device, capable of guiding the transfer device to accurately reach the position set by the automatic control system 4, referencing the existing road-vehicle linkage type vehicle automatic driving system model.

[0031] In application, the transport vehicle transports the door and window profiles to the unloading point at the work site, unloads the profiles, and loads them onto the transfer device 24. According to the instructions of the automatic control system 4, the transfer device 24 transports the profiles to the designated storage device 21 for that specific type and specification of profile, and stops at the parking position determined by the information positioning system 23. Based on the signal emitted by the transfer device 24 at the parking position, the storage and retrieval device 22 detects the signal through the information positioning system 23, calculates it through the automatic control system 4, and instructs the support and drive device 221 on the storage and retrieval device 22. The system starts, moves the storage and retrieval device 22 to the set distance and height with the transfer device 24, then stops, and sends a positioning signal through the information positioning system 23. Upon receiving this signal, the automatic control system 4 instructs the transfer device 24 to begin pushing out the profiles, placing them one by one on the profile brackets on the transfer device 24. Simultaneously, the storage and retrieval device 22 and the storage device 21 are also activated. The storage and retrieval device 22 activates the upper drive shaft drive 2210 and determines the rotation direction so that the chain of the transmission chain 225 near the side of the transfer device 24 moves upward. At this time, according to the instructions of the automatic control system 4... Command: The blocking claw of the profile storage unit storing the profile of this model extends; during the upward movement of the profile support claw 2261 on the storage and retrieval device 22, it encounters the profile placed on the profile bracket on the transfer device 24. The profile blocks the movement of the profile support claw 2261, which then lifts the profile and moves upward with it under the drive of the transmission chain 225; when the profile support claw 2261 carrying the profile reaches the upper part of the transmission chain 225 and approaches the upper transmission wheel 224, the guide wheel 2263 on the control lever 2262 is always controlled by the track 2 Controlled by the control track 229, the profile support claw 2261 begins to rotate with the swing of the control lever 2262. The original flat support claw begins to stand up, and the original vertical support claw begins to become horizontal. The profile being supported also rotates onto the flat support claw and is lifted up. It begins to move downward under the drive of the transmission chain 225. When the profile support claw 2261 moves to the automatic profile blocking device of the storage device 21, it blocks the profile and removes it from the profile support claw 2261. The transfer and automatic arrangement device on the storage device 21 completes the storage of the profile. This cycle is repeated to complete the profile storage process.Conversely, when a profile needs to be retrieved, according to the production plan, the automatic control system 4 instructs the retrieval of a specific specification of profile. The storage device 21, which stores the profile, pushes the profile one by one onto the automatic blocking device. Meanwhile, the storage and retrieval devices 22 rotate in opposite directions, and the profile claws 2261 remove the profile from the storage device 21 and place it on the profile bracket of the transfer device 24. The transfer device 24 transfers the profile from the profile bracket to the profile storage box and then transports it to the automatic profile cutting system 7 for cutting. It is then sent to the automatic door and window frame assembly system 6 for assembly. After assembly, the door and window frames can be transported out of the system through the finished door and window frame outlet 5 for the next process or application. This achieves automatic assembly of door and window frames and eliminates the disorder and difficulty in storing and retrieving door and window profiles.
