Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel cage processing equipment technology, and in particular to a three-in-one stirrup storage silo with insertable longitudinal bars. Background Technology

[0002] In municipal road and bridge construction, box girders are indispensable. To improve construction efficiency, the structural components and internal reinforcing steel cages of box girders are usually prefabricated. When fabricating the bottom and web steel cages of the box girder, the arranged bottom and web stirrups need to be welded into a three-in-one combined stirrup. External longitudinal bars are welded to the outside of the combined stirrup, and internal longitudinal bars are welded to the inside of the combined stirrup, thus forming the integral steel cage of the bottom and web of the box girder.

[0003] Patent CN113927732B discloses a processing system and method for stirrups in the bottom and web plates of a small box girder. The system includes a CNC stirrup bending machine, welding equipment, and a storage device. The storage device includes guide rails and an electrically movable support platform. Two support beams arranged in the same direction are mounted on the upper part of the electrically movable support platform. The platform includes a support plate with two vertical columns, and the support beams are connected to the upper part of the columns. When storing the bottom and web plate stirrups in the storage device, the stirrups on both sides of the web plate are simply hooked onto the two support beams of the processing device.

[0004] However, currently, after welding the three-in-one stirrups for the bottom web plate, workers lift the stirrups into the storage bin until the bin is full. Then, the entire bin is hoisted into the welding equipment using a lifting device. Manually lifting and placing the stirrups into the bin is time-consuming and labor-intensive, affecting the storage efficiency of the three-in-one stirrups. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a three-in-one stirrup storage silo with interlocking longitudinal reinforcement.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0007] A storage bin for three-in-one stirrups with insertable longitudinal ribs is provided, including a bin body. One end of the bin body has an opening for the three-in-one stirrups to enter and exit the bin. The inside of the bin body forms a storage cavity for storing the three-in-one stirrups. The two sides of the bin body are hollow and open. Mounting plates are slidably mounted on both sides of the bin body. The mounting plates are equipped with a feeding component for feeding the three-in-one stirrups. The bin body is equipped with a first driving component for driving the mounting plates to slide along the length of the bin body.

[0008] The silo body includes a base, with mounting frames symmetrically fixed on both sides of the base. The mounting plate is slidably mounted on the mounting frames. A vertical plate is fixed on one side of the base. A support rod is set on the surface of the support rod parallel to the length of the silo body. The support rod is used to insert the web stirrups on both sides of the three-in-one stirrup and support the web stirrups.

[0009] Furthermore, a slide rail is provided along the hopper body on the mounting frame, and a slider is provided on the mounting plate. The mounting plate is slidably connected to the slide rail through the slider. The first drive assembly includes a drive motor, a drive gear, and a rack. The rack is provided on the mounting frame along the length of the hopper body. The drive motor is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the drive gear, and the drive gear meshes with the rack for transmission.

[0010] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a push rod and a drive cylinder. The drive cylinder is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the mounting plate. The piston rod of the drive cylinder passes through the mounting plate and is fixedly connected to the push rod. The drive cylinder pushes the push rod to insert it between the stirrups in the storage cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, a guide surface is provided on the edge of the end of the push rod facing into the storage cavity.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting plate is fixedly installed at one end of the strut near the upright plate. The connecting plate slides along the length of the web stirrups and is connected to the upright plate. A first limiting member is provided on the upright plate to restrict the movement of the connecting plate.

[0013] The first limiting component includes a first limiting bolt. Multiple strip holes parallel to the sliding direction of the connecting plate are opened through the connecting plate. The first limiting bolt passes through the strip holes and is threadedly connected to the vertical plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a second limiting member is provided on the upright plate to restrict the movement of the connecting plate;

[0015] The second limiting component includes a second limiting bolt. Two first connecting blocks and two second limiting blocks are fixedly installed on the side of the upright plate near the connecting plate. The two first limiting blocks are located inside the two connecting plates respectively, and the two second limiting blocks are located below the two connecting plates respectively. The two first limiting blocks are threaded with second limiting bolts along the width direction of the silo body, and the two second limiting blocks are threaded with second limiting bolts along the vertical direction.

[0016] Furthermore, the base is provided with two guide bars parallel to the length of the silo body, and the two guide bars are located on both sides of the storage cavity;

[0017] The guide strip is equipped with a limiting pin to restrict the movement of the three-in-one stirrup in the storage cavity. The outer side of the two guide strips is equipped with a mounting base. Several limiting holes are opened through the guide strip. The mounting base is equipped with a limiting groove that matches the limiting pin. After the limiting pin passes through the limiting hole, the limiting pin and the limiting groove are connected.

[0018] Furthermore, each mounting base is connected with two limit pins at intervals, and the mounting base is provided with multiple sets at intervals along the length of the silo body.

[0019] Furthermore, lifting rings are fixedly installed on both the mounting frame and the upright plate.

[0020] Furthermore, a reinforcing rod is arranged parallel to the bottom of the strut, and the end of the reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The reinforcing rod includes multiple sections of pipe body, and the size of the pipe body decreases sequentially in the direction away from the connecting plate.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the three-in-one stirrup is clamped by a robotic arm and inserted into the storage cavity opening of the silo body, so that the two web stirrups of the three-in-one stirrup are hooked onto two support rods. The push rod on the conveying component extends into one side of the three-in-one stirrup, and then the three-in-one stirrup is pushed into the silo body for storage by the movement of the mounting plate on the silo body. Each time a certain number of three-in-one stirrups are stored, they can be pushed into the storage cavity as a group, realizing automatic storage of three-in-one stirrups. When the stirrups in the silo body are retrieved, the three-in-one stirrups are pushed to the storage cavity opening in sequence, retrieved by the robotic arm and welded to the longitudinal reinforcement, which greatly improves the storage and retrieval efficiency of the three-in-one stirrups.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] This invention provides a three-in-one stirrup storage silo with insertable longitudinal reinforcement, as described in the following embodiment. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The hopper includes a hopper body 1, with a storage cavity 11 inside the hopper body 1 for storing three-in-one stirrups. One end of the hopper body 1 has an opening that communicates with the storage cavity 11 and allows the three-in-one stirrups to enter and exit the hopper. The hopper body 1 has open, hollow sides. On both sides of the hopper body 1, mounting plates 4 are slidably installed along the length of the hopper body 1. The mounting plates 4 are equipped with a feeding component 2 for feeding the three-in-one stirrups into the storage cavity 11. The hopper body 1 is equipped with a first driving component for moving the mounting plates 4.

[0030] Specifically, the silo body 1 includes a base 13, mounting brackets 14, upright plates 12, and support rods 5. Two sets of mounting brackets 14 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 13, forming an inverted trapezoidal structure above the base 13 to accommodate the three-in-one stirrups. The upright plate 12 is vertically connected to one end of the base 13. Two support rods 5 are arranged in parallel, supporting the upper edges of the web stirrups inserted into the three-in-one stirrups on both sides, thus keeping the three-in-one stirrups placed in the silo body 1 vertical and ensuring that the three-in-one stirrups are tightly fitted into the storage cavity 11 of the silo body 1.

[0031] By placing the hopper body 1 downstream of the automatic welding line for three-in-one stirrups, aligning the entrance of the storage cavity 11 of the hopper body 1 with the material handling robot downstream of the welding line, the robot grasps the three-in-one stirrups and places them into the storage cavity 11, suspending them on the support rod 5. The conveying component 2, in conjunction with the moving mounting plate 4, pushes the three-in-one stirrups a short distance inward from the entrance of the hopper body, providing storage space for the robot to place more stirrups into the storage cavity 11. Once a certain number of three-in-one stirrups are stored, for example, 30 sets, the mounting plate 4 and the conveying component 2 push the entire set of three-in-one stirrups into the bottom of the storage cavity 11. When retrieving three-in-one stirrups from the hopper body 1, the conveying component 2 and the mounting plate 4 also push the three-in-one stirrups in groups towards the entrance of the storage cavity 11, one by one, to facilitate the robot's retrieval of the stirrups.

[0032] In this embodiment, a slide rail 15 is provided on the mounting frame 14 along the hopper body 1, and a slider is provided on the mounting plate 4. The mounting plate 4 is slidably connected to the slide rail 15 via the slider. The first driving assembly includes a drive motor 31, a drive gear 32, and a rack 33. The rack 33 is arranged on the mounting frame 14 along the length direction of the hopper body 1. The drive motor 31 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 4. The output shaft of the drive motor 31 is connected to the drive gear 32, and the drive gear 32 meshes with the rack 33 for transmission. The drive motor 31 drives the drive gear 32 to move, and the drive gear 32 and the rack 33 cooperate with each other to move the mounting plate 4 and the conveying assembly 2 on the hopper body 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the feeding component 2 includes a push rod 21 and a drive cylinder 22. The drive cylinder 22 is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the mounting plate 4. The piston rod of the drive cylinder 22 passes through the mounting plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the push rod 21. The drive cylinder 22 pushes the push rod 21 to be inserted between the stirrups in the storage cavity 11.

[0034] Furthermore, the edge of the push rod 21 facing the storage cavity 11 is provided with a guide surface. The push rod 21 is driven by the drive cylinder 22 to extend into the storage cavity 11. By utilizing the guide surface on the push rod 21, the push rod 21 can be effectively inserted between the two three-in-one stirrups, thereby facilitating the push rod 21 to move the three-in-one stirrups.

[0035] Reference Figure 4Furthermore, a connecting plate 51 is fixedly connected to one end of the strut 5 near the upright plate 12. The connecting plate 51 slides along the length of the web stirrups and is connected to the upright plate 12. A first limiting member is provided on the upright plate 12 to restrict the movement of the connecting plate 51. By moving the connecting plate 51, the distance between the strut 5 and the placement base plate is adjusted, so that the hopper can adapt to the gradual change in the height of the box girder reinforcement cage. The height of the strut 5 is adjusted according to the average height of each section of the box girder reinforcement cage. In this embodiment, the first limiting member includes a first limiting bolt 52. Multiple strip holes 511 parallel to the sliding direction of the connecting plate 51 are opened through the connecting plate 51. The first limiting bolt 52 passes through the strip holes 511 and is threadedly connected to the upright plate 12.

[0036] Furthermore, the upright plate 12 is provided with a second limiting member for restricting the movement of the connecting plate 51. The second limiting member includes a second limiting bolt 121. Two first connecting blocks 122 and two second limiting blocks 123 are fixedly provided on the side of the upright plate 12 near the connecting plate 51. The two first limiting blocks are located on the inner sides of the two connecting plates 51, and the two second limiting blocks 123 are located below the two connecting plates 51. The two first limiting blocks are threaded with second limiting bolts 121 along the width direction of the hopper body 1, and the two second limiting blocks 123 are threaded with second limiting bolts 121 along the vertical direction. The two second limiting bolts 121 abut against the bottom wall of the connecting plate 51 and the side wall of the connecting plate 51 near the other connecting plate 51, respectively. By using the two second limiting bolts 121, the downward sliding of the connecting plate 51 along its sliding direction can be effectively restricted, thereby improving the effective supporting force of the support rod 5 when supporting the three-in-one stirrup.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 In this embodiment, the base 13 is provided with two guide bars 6 parallel to the length of the hopper body 1. The two guide bars 6 are located on both sides of the storage cavity 11, and the guide bars 6 are located on both sides of the bottom of the storage cavity 11. The guide bars 6 are provided with limiting pins 61 for restricting the movement of the three-in-one stirrups in the storage cavity 11. Specifically, the outer side of the two guide bars 6 is provided with a mounting base 62. Several limiting holes 63 are opened through the guide bars 6. The limiting holes 63 are strip-shaped holes 511, which provide a movable margin for the installation of the limiting pins 61. The end of the limiting pin 61 is fixed with two spaced limiting steps. The mounting base 62 is provided with a limiting groove 621 that is adapted to the limiting pin 61. Whenever a set of three-in-one stirrups is stored in the silo, the staff uses a manual installation method to insert the limiting pin 61 through the strip hole 511. The two limiting steps at the end of the limiting pin 61 are connected with the limiting groove 621, thereby effectively separating each set of three-in-one stirrups. This makes it easier for the feeding component 2 to feed the set of three-in-one stirrups. The push rod 21 can be accurately inserted between the two sets of three-in-one stirrups.

[0038] Furthermore, each mounting base 62 is connected with two limiting pins 61 at intervals, and multiple sets of mounting bases 62 are spaced apart along the length of the hopper body 1. The two limiting pins 61 on each mounting base 62 make the gap between the two sets of three-in-one stirrups obvious.

[0039] In this embodiment, lifting rings 7 are fixedly installed on both the mounting frame 14 and the upright plate 12, facilitating the lifting and transfer of the fully loaded or empty silo as a whole by workers. A reinforcing rod 8 is arranged parallel to the bottom of the support rod 5, and its end is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 51. The reinforcing rod 8 includes multiple sections of tubular body, the size of which decreases sequentially away from the connecting plate 51. The reinforcing rod 8 enhances the load-bearing capacity of the support rod 5, and by reducing the size of the support rod 5 away from the connecting plate 51, the load strength of the connecting plate 51 and the first limiting bolt 52 can be minimized, thus reducing the overall weight of the silo body 1.
