Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vulcanization equipment, in particular to an automatic feeding system for vulcanization equipment. Background Art

[0002] Vulcanization process refers to the process of converting linear macromolecules into three-dimensional network structures under certain temperature and pressure conditions by adding cross-linking agents such as vulcanizing agents and accelerators. With the development of the rubber industry, a variety of non-sulfur cross-linking agents can be used for cross-linking. Therefore, the more scientific meaning of vulcanization should be "cross-linking" or "bridging", that is, the process of forming a network of linear macromolecules through cross-linking. Sulfur cross-linking occurs during the vulcanization process. This process refers to the formation of a bridge structure by connecting one or more sulfur atoms to the polymer chain. The result of the reaction is the formation of an elastomer, whose properties have changed in many aspects. The vulcanizing agent can be sulfur or other related substances. From the physical property point of view, it is the process of converting plastic rubber into elastic rubber or hard rubber.

[0003] The existing vulcanization processing equipment has a low degree of automation, especially in the transfer and transportation of products. Generally, workers place materials at the processing position, which is labor-intensive and has certain operational risks.

Workers place materials on the corresponding conveying device, and the transfer device transports the materials to a fixed position. Then the corresponding grabbing mechanism grabs and transfers the materials to the processing position. The grabbing manipulator in this process generally grabs the products individually and transfers them one by one. It does not have the function of transferring multiple products at the same time.

The existing mobile platform lacks a suitable limit function for the product and the use flexibility of the mobile platform is low, which cannot meet the actual use needs and needs to be improved and optimized.
