It is difficult to control the quality of the smelted products. In addition, the temperature in the combustion furnace of the antimony ingot smelting workshop is generally around 1000 degrees, and the air temperature in the working area also exceeds 100°C.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a cylinder, a piston rod and a medium box. The bottom end of the cylinder is connected to the piston rod, and the outer wall of the piston rod is provided with the medium box.

[0008] Furthermore, the top surface of the medium box is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the end of the mechanical arm of the clamp robot through a support rod, and the cylinder is fixed to the top surface of the end of the mechanical arm of the clamp robot.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a transmission push rod and a clamping strip. The transmission push rod is penetrated by two sides of the bottom of the medium box, and the ends of the transmission push rod are connected to the clamping strip.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a torsion spring shaft and an adaptable clamping piece. The torsion spring shaft is arranged on the upper part of the inner cavity of the clamping strip, and the outer wall of the torsion spring shaft is connected to the adaptable clamping piece.

[0011] Furthermore, the adaptable clamp is elastically rotatably connected to the clamp bar via a torsion spring shaft, and the side surface of the adaptable clamp is adapted to the short side surface of the antimony ingot.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a medium bag, and the medium bag is arranged in the inner cavity of the clamping strip.

[0016] The present invention provides a material intelligent distribution and intelligent sorting device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1.

[0017] 2. The intelligent material distribution and intelligent sorting equipment, in the process of the adapting clamp extending together with the clamping strip, the side surface of the adapting clamping piece contacts the antimony ingot and is thus rotated by the torsion spring shaft under force, so that the side surface of the adapting clamping piece is adapted to the inclined surface of the antimony ingot, thereby increasing the clamping area of ​​the antimony ingot to improve the clamping stability, and using its rotation to compress the medium bag to make the insertion support piece extend and insert into the bottom surfaces of both sides of the antimony ingot, thereby clamping and supporting the antimony ingot from the inclined surfaces on both sides and the bottom surface thereof in the process of the clamping assembly carrying the antimony ingot to lift and move, thereby greatly improving the stability of the antimony ingot when clamping and moving.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a material intelligent distribution and intelligent sorting equipment, including a first combustion furnace 1, a second combustion furnace 2 and a sorting and distribution intelligent component 5, the second combustion furnace 2 is arranged in parallel on the right side of the first combustion furnace 1, and the second combustion furnace 2 and the first combustion furnace 1 are provided with a feeding platform 3 on both sides, and a pushing mechanism 4 is arranged on the surface of the feeding platform 3, and the sorting and distribution intelligent component 5 is arranged in parallel on one side of the first combustion furnace 1 and the second combustion furnace 2, and the sorting and distribution intelligent component 5 includes a ground rail walking shaft 501, a clamping robot 502 and a visual scanning device 503, the surface of the ground rail walking shaft 501 is slidably provided with a clamping robot 502, and the middle section of the mechanical arm of the clamping robot 502 is provided with a visual scanning device 503, the end of the mechanical arm of the clamping robot 502 is provided with a clamping component 6, and the side of the ground rail walking shaft 501 is parallel to the incoming material tray 7; The specific operation is as follows: the first combustion furnace 1 and the second combustion furnace 2 are used as a backup, and the feeding platforms 3 on both sides of the first combustion furnace 1 and the second combustion furnace 2 can be set to one side for automatic feeding by the sorting and delivery intelligent component 5, and the other side for manual abnormal feeding; The antimony ingot raw materials are delivered to the incoming material pallet 7 by a forklift. The antimony ingots are in a trapezoidal structure and are neatly stacked in the antimony ingots and arranged in a single row. When the antimony ingot raw materials in the pallet are clamped, the visual scanning device 503 scans the position of the antimony ingot raw materials in the pallet, and sends coordinate information for the clamp robot 502 to automatically grab. The clamp robot 502 sends the program number according to the PLC scheduling program to slide along the surface of the ground rail walking shaft 501 to approach the antimony ingot raw materials, and uses the clamping component 6 to clamp the antimony ingot. The robot system in the robot control cabinet is responsible for the control of the clamp robot 502 action and data processing, and is configured with a Profinet communication card and a TCP / IP communication card. The Profinet communication card uses the S7 protocol to communicate with the PLC system for signal interaction, and the TCP / IP communication card is used to interact with the visual system for signal interaction. The robot local I / O module is also configured to detect the state and control the action of the clamping component 6; After the antimony ingot is clamped, it is sent to the feeding platform 3 by the clamp robot 502, and then the pushing mechanism 4 pushes the antimony ingot on the surface of the feeding platform 3 to the first combustion furnace 1 or the second combustion furnace 2 for combustion smelting; Based on the above description, the present invention utilizes the clamping robot 502 to cooperate with the visual scanning device 503 to control the clamping assembly 6 to automatically clamp the antimony ingot raw material and deliver it to the feeding platform 3, thereby replacing manual labor to perform repetitive operations, thereby releasing workers from harsh working environment positions with many danger sources, high labor intensity, high noise, and poor working environment, thereby replacing manual labor to perform fully automatic intelligent distribution and intelligent sorting according to production formula requirements, thereby improving efficiency.

[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the clamping assembly 6 includes a cylinder 601, a piston rod 602 and a medium box 603, the bottom end of the cylinder 601 is connected to the piston rod 602, and the outer wall of the piston rod 602 is provided with the medium box 603, the top surface of the medium box 603 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the end of the mechanical arm of the clamping robot 502 through a support rod, and the cylinder 601 is fixed to the top surface of the end of the mechanical arm of the clamping robot 502, the clamping assembly 6 also includes a transmission push rod 604 and a clamping strip 605, transmission push rods 604 are penetrated on both sides of the bottom of the medium box 603, and the ends of the transmission push rods 604 are connected to the clamping strip 605, the clamping assembly 6 also includes a torsion spring shaft 606 and an adaptive clamping member 607, the upper part of the inner cavity of the clamping strip 605 is provided with a torsion spring shaft 606, and the torsion spring shaft 605 is provided with a clamping strip 605. The outer wall of 06 is connected with an adaptable clamping member 607, which is elastically rotatably connected with the clamping strip 605 through a torsion spring shaft 606, and the side of the adaptable clamping member 607 is adapted to the short side of the antimony ingot. The clamping assembly 6 also includes a medium capsule 608, and the inner cavity of the clamping strip 605 is provided with a medium capsule 608. The clamping assembly 6 also includes a medium transmission tube box 609, and the side of the medium capsule 608 is connected with the medium transmission tube box 609, and the medium transmission tube box 609 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer side surface of the clamping strip 605. The clamping assembly 6 also includes a telescopic rod 610, and the bottom surface of the medium transmission tube box 609 is penetrated with the telescopic rod 610. The clamping assembly 6 also includes an insertion support sheet 611, and the end of the telescopic rod 610 is connected with the insertion support sheet 611; The specific operation is as follows: the clamping assembly 6 is moved to the two sides of the short side of the antimony ingot through the visual scanning of the visual scanning device 503 and the control of the clamping robot 502. At this time, the two clamping strips 605 are respectively located on the two sides of the short side of the antimony ingot. The cylinder 601 carries the piston rod 602 to press down the medium inside the medium box 603 so that the medium pushes the transmission push rod 604 to carry the clamping strip 605 to extend, so that the clamping strip 605 is close to and against the two sides of the antimony ingot. Since the antimony ingot is a trapezoidal structure, it is difficult for the vertically arranged clamping bar 605 to stably clamp the antimony ingot. When the adaptable clamping member 607 is extended together with the clamping bar 605, the side surface of the adaptable clamping member 607 contacts the antimony ingot and is thus rotated by the torsion spring shaft 606, so that the side surface of the adaptable clamping member 607 is adapted to the inclined surface of the antimony ingot, thereby increasing the clamping area of ​​the antimony ingot to improve the clamping stability. Furthermore, during the rotation of the adaptable clamping member 607, the medium capsule 608 is compressed. The medium capsule 608 is compressed so that the medium inside it enters the medium transmission tube box 609 and pushes the telescopic rod 610 to extend, thereby carrying the inserted support piece 611 to extend and insert into the bottom surfaces on both sides of the antimony ingot. Therefore, during the process of the clamping assembly 6 carrying the antimony ingot to lift and move, the antimony ingot is clamped and supported from the inclined surfaces on both sides and the bottom surface, thereby greatly improving the stability of the antimony ingot during movement. At the same time, due to the neat stacking of the antimony ingots, the bottom surface area of ​​the upper antimony ingot is larger than the upper surface area of ​​the lower antimony ingot in the two antimony ingots distributed above and below, thereby providing operational adjustment for the support of the inserted support piece 611, thereby preventing the antimony ingot from contacting with other raw materials and falling when clamped.

[0024] In summary, when the intelligent material distribution and intelligent sorting equipment is used, the first combustion furnace 1 and the second combustion furnace 2 are used as a backup, and the feeding platforms 3 on both sides of the first combustion furnace 1 and the second combustion furnace 2 can be set to one side for automatic feeding by the sorting and distribution intelligent component 5, and the other side for manual abnormal feeding; The antimony ingot raw materials are delivered to the incoming material pallet 7 by a forklift. The antimony ingots are in a trapezoidal structure and are neatly stacked in the antimony ingots and arranged in a single row. When the antimony ingot raw materials in the pallet are clamped, the visual scanning device 503 scans the position of the antimony ingot raw materials in the pallet and sends coordinate information for the clamp robot 502 to automatically grasp. The clamp robot 502 sends the program number according to the PLC scheduling program to slide along the surface of the ground rail walking shaft 501 to approach the antimony ingot raw materials, and clamps the antimony ingot using the clamping assembly 6; The clamping assembly 6 is moved to the two sides of the short side of the antimony ingot through the visual scanning of the visual scanning device 503 and the control of the clamping robot 502. At this time, the two clamping strips 605 are respectively located on the two sides of the short side of the antimony ingot. The cylinder 601 carries the piston rod 602 to press down the medium inside the medium box 603 so that the medium pushes the transmission push rod 604 to carry the clamping strips 605 to extend, so that the clamping strips 605 are close to and against the two sides of the antimony ingot. Since the antimony ingot is a trapezoidal structure, it is difficult for the vertically arranged clamping bar 605 to stably clamp the antimony ingot. When the adaptable clamping member 607 is extended together with the clamping bar 605, the side surface of the adaptable clamping member 607 contacts the antimony ingot and is thus rotated by the torsion spring shaft 606, so that the side surface of the adaptable clamping member 607 is adapted to the inclined surface of the antimony ingot, thereby increasing the clamping area of ​​the antimony ingot to improve the clamping stability. Furthermore, during the rotation of the adapting clamping member 607, the medium capsule 608 is compressed, and the medium in the medium capsule 608 is compressed so that the medium inside enters the medium transmission tube box 609 and pushes the telescopic rod 610 to extend, thereby carrying the insertion support sheet 611 to extend and insert into the bottom surfaces of both sides of the antimony ingot, so that during the process of the clamping assembly 6 carrying the antimony ingot to lift and move, the antimony ingot is clamped and supported from the inclined surfaces on both sides and the bottom surface thereof, thereby greatly improving the stability of the antimony ingot during movement; After being clamped, the antimony ingot is sent to the feeding platform 3 by the clamp robot 502, and then the pushing mechanism 4 pushes the antimony ingot on the surface of the feeding platform 3 into the first combustion furnace 1 or the second combustion furnace 2 for combustion smelting.

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention are given for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present invention and thereby design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific uses.
