Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of calcium carbide technology, and in particular to an automatic plugging system and method for a pot plug plate for a calcium carbide pot. Background Art

[0002] Calcium carbide is a chemical raw material, which is currently mainly produced by electric furnaces. The calcium carbide pot is a common equipment for producing calcium carbide. The liquid calcium carbide (temperature up to 1800-2000℃) melted in the calcium carbide furnace flows into the calcium carbide pot for cooling, thus forming calcium carbide lumps. In order to facilitate the clamping of calcium carbide lumps in the calcium carbide pot, two notches are opened on the side wall of the calcium carbide pot. In order to prevent the liquid calcium carbide entering the calcium carbide pot from overflowing during the transfer or cooling process, it is necessary to insert a pot plug into the notch of the calcium carbide pot.

[0003] In traditional calcium carbide production, the process of inserting and removing the pot plugs at the notch of the calcium carbide pot is mainly done by manually using tools such as pry bars to pull out the pot plugs at both ends of the calcium carbide pot, and then using a sling to lift the calcium carbide weight out of the calcium carbide pot. Although the calcium carbide weight has cooled, it is actually still at a relatively high temperature. Therefore, there is still a certain risk when manually pulling out the plugs on both sides of the calcium carbide pot. In addition, the manual insertion of the pot plugs has inaccurate positioning and a low degree of automation, resulting in a low plug-in efficiency of the pot plugs. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application is clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work also fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0043] First, refer to Figures 1 to 6 The present application provides an automatic plugging system for a pot plug plate for an electric stone pot, comprising:

[0044] A support base 100 is provided with a first slide rail 101 and a second slide rail 102 which are parallel to each other; wherein the first slide rail 101 and the second slide rail 102 both extend along the length direction of the support base 100, and the length of the support base 100 and the distance between the first slide rail 101 and the second slide rail 102 can be set according to actual needs, therefore, the present application does not make any specific limitation thereto.

[0045] The first sliding assembly 200 includes a first sliding seat 201, a calcium carbide pot 202 arranged on the first sliding seat 201, and a first driving member 203 for driving the first sliding seat 201 to slide along the first slide rail 101; a notch 2021 and a pot plug plate 300 for plugging the notch 2021 are provided on the calcium carbide pot 202; wherein, there are two notches 2021, the two notches 2021 are relatively arranged on the side wall of the calcium carbide pot 202 and the connecting line between the two notches 2021 intersects and is perpendicular to the central axis of the calcium carbide pot 202, thus ensuring that when the sling passes through the two notches 2021 to clamp the calcium carbide lump in the calcium carbide pot 202, it can clamp the middle part of the calcium carbide lump, thus ensuring the stability of the calcium carbide lump clamping, making it easier to clamp the calcium carbide lump out of the calcium carbide pot 202.

[0046] The position detection unit 400 is arranged on the first sliding seat 201, and is used to detect the position of the pot plug plate 300 on the calcium carbide pot 202; the position detection unit 400 can be a laser positioning sensor, which can be purchased according to actual usage requirements. Therefore, this application does not make specific limitations on it.

[0047] The second sliding assembly 500 includes a second sliding seat 501, a manipulator unit 502 arranged on the second sliding seat 501, and a second driving member 503 for driving the second sliding seat 501 to slide along the second slide rail 102. When the second sliding seat 501 slides along the length direction of the second slide rail 102, the manipulator unit 502 arranged on the second sliding seat 501 moves synchronously with the second sliding seat 501.

[0048] The control unit 600 is arranged on the support base 100 and is electrically connected to the first driving member 203, the position detection unit 400, the manipulator unit 502 and the second driving member 503. Among them, the control unit 600 is used to control the first driving member 203 to drive the first sliding seat 201 to slide along the length direction of the first slide rail 101, the second driving member 503 to drive the second sliding seat 501 to slide along the length direction of the second slide rail 102, and the manipulator unit 502 to control the pot plugging plate 300 to plug the calcium carbide pot 202. The control unit 600 can be a PLC controller, and the specific model and specifications can be set according to actual needs. Therefore, this application does not specifically limit it here. In addition, the first driving member 203 and the second driving member 503 can both be drive motors, which can be set according to actual needs. Therefore, this application does not specifically limit it here.

[0049] The automatic plugging system of the pot plug plate for the calcium carbide pot provided in the present application drives the first sliding seat 201 to slide along the first slide rail 101 to the preset position of the first slide rail 101 through the first driving member 203. Since the calcium carbide pot 202 filled with liquid calcium carbide is arranged on the first sliding seat 201, that is, the calcium carbide pot 202 moves to the preset position of the first slide rail 101 along with the first sliding seat 201, after the liquid calcium carbide in the calcium carbide pot 202 is cooled to a preset time (the preset time here is enough for the liquid calcium carbide to cool into a calcium carbide lump), the position of the calcium carbide pot 202 at the preset position on the first sliding seat 201 and the pot plug plate 300 on the calcium carbide pot 202 are detected by the position detection unit 400, and the pot plug plate 300 on the calcium carbide pot 202 is detected. 0 is transmitted to the control unit 600, and the control unit 600 controls the second driving member 503 to drive the second sliding seat 501 to slide along the second slide rail 102 until the second sliding seat 501 and the manipulator unit 502 thereon slide to the calcium carbide pot 202 at the preset position opposite to the first slide rail 101, and then the control unit 600 controls the manipulator unit 502 to pull out and plug the pot plug plate 300 on the calcium carbide pot 202 until the notch 2021 on the calcium carbide pot 202 is exposed, so that the sling can clamp the calcium carbide lump in the calcium carbide pot 202 through the notch 2021, and before adding liquid calcium carbide into the calcium carbide pot 202, the manipulator unit 502 can pull out and plug the pot plug plate 300 until the pot plug plate 300 blocks the notch 2021 on the calcium carbide pot 202. Therefore, the present application improves the accuracy of positioning the calcium carbide pot 202 and the pot plug plate 300 on the calcium carbide pot 202 and realizes automatic plugging of the pot plug plate 300 into the notch 2021 on the calcium carbide pot 202, so that the degree of automation of plugging of the pot plug plate 300 is relatively high, thereby improving the plugging efficiency of the pot plug plate 300 into the notch 2021 on the calcium carbide pot 202.

[0050] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 3 The calcium carbide pot 202 in the present application is respectively provided with first ear plates 2022 on the outer walls on both sides of the depth direction of the notch 2021, and each first ear plate 2022 is provided with a first through hole 2023 parallel to the outer wall of the calcium carbide pot 202; wherein the length direction of the first through hole 2023 extends along the length direction of the first ear plate 2022.

[0051] In addition, the pot plug plate 300 matches the notch 2021, so that the notch 2021 can be blocked by the pot plug plate 300 to prevent the liquid calcium carbide in the calcium carbide pot 202 from flowing out. Two first plug shafts 301 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the top of the pot plug plate 300, and the two first plug shafts 301 correspond to and match the two first through holes 2023 one by one, and the two first plug shafts 301 respectively penetrate the first through holes 2023 corresponding thereto.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the pot plug board 300 is connected to the calcium carbide pot 202 by respectively passing through the first through holes 2023 corresponding to the two first plug shafts 301 at one end away from the pot plug board 300. Since the first plug shafts 301 match the first through holes 2023 corresponding to the first plug shafts 301, that is, under the action of the manipulator unit 502, the pot plug board 300 is pulled toward the top of the calcium carbide pot 202 by the manipulator unit 502, so as to realize the connection between the pot plug board 300 and the calcium carbide pot 202. The notch 2021 on the calcium carbide pot 202 is blocked, and the pot plug plate 300 is pulled toward the bottom of the calcium carbide pot 202 by the manipulator unit 502, so that the notch 2021 on the calcium carbide pot 202 is exposed. After the manipulator unit 502 acting on the pot plug plate 300 is separated from the pot plug plate 300, the first plug shaft 301 on the pot plug plate 300 stops moving up and down in the first through hole 2023 (because the calcium carbide pot 202 is bowl-shaped, that is, the outer peripheral wall of the calcium carbide pot 202 is relative to the calcium carbide pot 202). The bottom surface of the pot 202 is inclined outward, and the pot plug board 300 is parallel to the outer wall of the calcium carbide pot 202, that is, the pot plug board 300 is arranged obliquely on the outer wall of the calcium carbide pot 202, and the first plug shaft 301 is also arranged obliquely in the first through hole 2023. After the external force acting on the pot plug board 300 disappears, the first plug shaft 301 applies the component force of the gravity of the first through hole 2023 itself and the pot plug board 300, so that the sliding amplitude of the first plug shaft 301 relative to the first through hole 2023 is reduced. The degree is small and the first through hole 2023 and the first plug shaft 301 have an interference fit, so that the first through hole 2023 will give the first plug shaft 301 a corresponding supporting force. Therefore, after the external force acting on the pot plug plate 300 disappears, the first plug shaft 301 hardly moves relative to the first through hole 2023). At this time, the position of the pot plug plate 300 relative to the calcium carbide pot 202 is certain, avoiding the risk of the pot plug plate 300 falling from the calcium carbide pot 202, and facilitating the subsequent plugging of the pot plug plate 300.

[0053] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the present application, two second ear plates 302 are arranged on the outer side wall of the pot plug board 300 near the bottom thereof, and each second ear plate 302 is provided with a second through hole. The pot plug board 300 passes through the second through holes on the two second ear plates 302 in sequence through the second plug shaft 700, and the manipulator unit 502 grabs the second plug shaft 700 to plug the pot plug board 300 into the notch 2021. The second through hole and the second plug shaft 700 are interference fit, that is, the second plug shaft 700 does not rotate in the second through hole.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the second ear plate 302 and the second through hole on each second ear plate 302 are provided to facilitate the second plug-in shaft 700 to be connected to the second ear plate 302 by passing through the second through hole, and the second plug-in shaft 700 is convenient for the robot unit 502 to grasp, thereby improving the plugging efficiency of the robot unit 502 on the pot plug-in plate 300.

[0055] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the present application, the first plug shaft 301 and the second plug shaft 700 are respectively connected by the first connecting plate 701; that is, the ends of the first plug shaft 301 and the second plug shaft 700 located on the same side are connected together by the first connecting plate 701, thereby achieving the integrity between the first plug shaft 301 and the second plug shaft 700 and the pot plug plate 300 and the stability of the connection.

[0056] Specifically, there are two first connecting plates 701, and one end of the first plug shaft 301 and one end of the second plug shaft 700 respectively pass through the corresponding first connecting plates 701, so that the overall stability of the connection between the first plug shaft 301 and the second plug shaft 700 on the pot plug plate 300 is relatively high, and the first plug shaft 301 and the second plug shaft 700 are both convenient for the robot unit 502 to grasp, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the robot unit 502 in grasping the pot plug plate 300.

[0057] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The calcium carbide pot 202 in the present application is respectively provided with mounting plates 2024 on the two opposite outer walls near the bottom thereof, and a first plug hole is provided on the mounting plates 2024; wherein the connecting line between the two mounting plates 2024 and the connecting line between the two notches 2021 are perpendicular to each other.

[0058] In addition, two groups of fixing plates 2011 matching the two mounting plates 2024 are provided on the first sliding seat 201; specifically, each group of fixing plates 2011 includes two fixing plates 2011 parallel to each other and spaced apart; each fixing plate 2011 is provided with a second plug hole 2012, and the mounting plate 2024 is clamped between the two corresponding fixing plates 2011 and connected together through a pin shaft, and one end of the pin shaft passes through one of the second plug holes 2012, the first plug hole and the other second plug hole 2012 in sequence. Among them, the thickness of the mounting plate 2024 is equal to the spacing between the two corresponding fixed plates 2011, so that the two fixed plates 2011 can better clamp the corresponding mounting plates 2024, and one end of the pin shaft passes through one of the second holes 2012, the first hole and the other second hole 2012 in sequence to achieve the fixation of the calcium carbide pot 202 on the first sliding seat 201, so that the stability of the connection between the calcium carbide pot 202 and the first sliding seat 201 is higher, so that the calcium carbide pot 202 can move with the movement of the first sliding seat 201, thereby improving the accuracy of the position detection unit 400 on the calcium carbide pot 202 and the pot plug plate 300 on the calcium carbide pot 202.

[0059] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The manipulator unit 502 in the present application includes a hydraulic cylinder 5021, a column 5022, a horizontal column 5023, an I-beam 5024 and a gripper 5025; specifically, the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 5021 is arranged on the upper surface of the second sliding seat 501, the bottom end of the column 5022 is connected to the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 5021, one end of the horizontal column 5023 is arranged on the side of the column 5022 close to the calcium carbide pot 202, the I-beam 5024 is horizontally arranged on the lower surface of the horizontal column 5023 through a rotating member 800, and the two grippers 5025 are both slidably connected to the I-beam 5024. Among them, the setting of the column 5022 is convenient for connection with the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 5021, and the parallel setting of the I-beam 5024 and the horizontal column 5023 realizes the horizontal movement of the two grippers 5025, which is convenient for adjusting the position of each gripper 5025 and the pot insert plate 300 at the notch 2021 of the calcium carbide pot 202.

[0060] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4The rotating member 800 in the present application includes a first driving motor 801 and a gear reducer 802; specifically, the housing of the first driving motor 801 is arranged on the horizontal column 5023, the output shaft of the first driving motor 801 is connected to the input shaft of the gear reducer 802, and the output shaft of the gear reducer 802 is connected to the top surface of the I-beam 5024. The gear reducer 802 can slow down the rotation rate of the I-beam 5024 and the gripper 5025 on the I-beam 5024, so that the rotation process of the I-beam 5024 and the gripper 5025 on the I-beam 5024 is relatively smooth, thereby improving the stability of the rotation process of the I-beam 5024 and the gripper 5025 on the I-beam 5024. In addition, the specifications and models of the first driving motor 801 and the specifications and models of the gear reducer 802 can be set according to actual needs, and the present application does not specifically limit them.

[0061] Specifically, the housing of the first drive motor 801 is disposed on the horizontal column 5023 , the output shaft of the first drive motor 801 is connected to the input shaft of the gear reducer 802 , and the output shaft of the gear reducer 802 is connected to the top surface of the I-beam 5024 .

[0062] In the above embodiment, the input shaft of the gear reducer 802 is driven to rotate by the output shaft of the first drive motor 801, and the meshing action of the gears of each stage in the gear reducer 802 makes the rotation rate output from the output shaft of the gear reducer 802 lower than the rotation rate of the input shaft of the gear reducer 802, thereby making the rotation rate of the I-beam 5024 connected to the output shaft of the gear reducer 802 lower than the rotation rate of the first drive motor 801, thereby slowing down the rotation rate of the I-beam 5024 and the gripper 5025 on the I-beam 5024, thereby improving the stability of the rotation process of the I-beam 5024 and the gripper 5025 on the I-beam 5024.

[0063] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 , the manipulator unit 502 in the present application also includes a bidirectional threaded rod 5026; specifically, two second connecting plates 702 corresponding to the two grippers 5025 are threadedly sleeved on the bidirectional threaded rod 5026, each second connecting plate 702 is provided with a slider 7021 embedded in the steel groove of the I-beam 5024 and capable of sliding in the steel groove of the I-beam 5024, and each gripper 5025 is provided on the lower surface of the second connecting plate 702 corresponding thereto. Among them, the rod body extending from the middle part of the bidirectional threaded rod 5026 to its two ends is respectively provided with positive teeth and negative teeth, and the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 5026 can be achieved by providing a second drive motor on the horizontal column 5023, and connecting the output shaft of the second drive motor with one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 5026.

[0064] In the above embodiment, by the forward or reverse rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 5026, the grippers 5025 corresponding to the two second connecting plates 702 are moved closer to or farther away from each other, thereby adjusting the position of the grippers 5025 and the pot insert plate 300 on the calcium carbide pot 202, so that the grippers 5025 can effectively grip the pot insert plate 300.
