Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of billet production, and specifically relates to a ton bag automatic unpacking device and unpacking method for metal particles. Background Art

[0002] The ton bag unpacking machine that uses a taper tip tool for ton bag unpacking has the characteristics of good maintenance, economy and applicability, and is suitable for alloy ton bag unpacking sites. However, for ton bags of materials such as alloy particles, there is still a problem of remaining materials after the ton bag is lifted for unpacking. That is, when discharging, when the alloy particles flow to a certain extent and the weight of the alloy in the ton bag decreases to a certain extent, since the self-weight of the ton bag and the remaining alloy in the ton bag is not enough to overcome the tool resistance, the breakage opening of the ton bag can no longer continue to widen, and the remaining alloy particles in the bag are left in the ton bag. As the lifting hook is lifted, part of the remaining alloy flows out of the ton bag, and part still remains in the ton bag that has not been punctured, resulting in the retention of residual particles; in order to clear out the remaining materials, the current method is for workers to use a handsaw to cut open the ton bag at the remaining material part of the ton bag to discharge the remaining materials. Such a method significantly reduces the unpacking efficiency, has safety risks, and increases the labor intensity. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Embodiments

[0014] Please refer to Figures 1-4, this embodiment is an automatic unpacking device for a ton bag 10 of metal particles, including a hopper 1. The hopper 1 is in the shape of a large upper part and a small lower part with openings at both the upper and lower ends. A bayonet A2 is provided at the lower end inside the hopper 1, and a bayonet B3 is provided on one side wall of the upper end of the hopper 1. A straight track 7 is provided above the hopper 1. A traveling trolley 9 is installed on the straight track 7, and a winch 8 is installed on the traveling trolley 9. The winch 8 is used to lift the ton bag 10, and the straight track 7 is directly above the bayonet B3; on both sides of the bayonet B3 inside the hopper 1, a bag clamping mechanism is provided respectively. The bag clamping mechanism includes a telescopic mechanism. The fixed end of the telescopic mechanism is fixedly connected to the hopper 1, and the movable end of the telescopic mechanism extends towards the ton bag 10 and is equipped with a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the ton bag.

[0015] In this embodiment, the straight track 7 is made of an I-shaped steel beam.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a controller. The controller is in signal connection with the traveling trolley 9, the winch 8 and the bag clamping mechanism. In this embodiment, the controller adopts a PLC controller.

[0017] Furthermore, the telescopic mechanism includes a servo electric cylinder 4. A connecting rod is installed at the output end of the servo electric cylinder 4, and the clamping mechanism is installed at the end of the connecting rod. Furthermore, the clamping mechanism adopts a finger cylinder 5, and the finger cylinder 5 is provided with two clamping arms.

[0018] Furthermore, on one side of the two clamping arms facing each other, an anti-slip rubber 6 is provided. By setting the anti-slip rubber 6, the clamping mechanism can stably clamp the bag when clamping the bag to prevent slipping.

[0019] Furthermore, the bayonet A2 includes four blades arranged obliquely. The bottom end of each blade is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hopper 1, and the upper ends of the four blades extend towards the center of the hopper 1 in a cross shape.

[0020] Furthermore, the bayonet B3 is a single blade and is arranged obliquely downward. The extending direction of the blade is in the vertical plane where the straight track 7 is located.

[0021] Further, the present invention also provides a method for unpacking a bulk bag 10. Using the above automatic unpacking device, it includes the following steps: S1. After the hoist 8 lifts the bulk bag 10 filled with materials, the traveling trolley 9 drives the bulk bag 10 to move along the linear track 7 to above the hopper 1 and directly above the bayonet A2; S2. The hoist 8 lowers the bulk bag 10 so that the bottom of the bulk bag 10 is pierced by the bayonet A2 for the first discharging. As the bulk bag 10 descends, the bottom of the bulk bag 10 will be pierced by the bayonet A2, so that the metal particles in the bulk bag 10 quickly flow out from the bottom opening into the hopper 1; S3. After the first discharging, there is still a certain amount of remaining material in the bulk bag 10 that has not completely flowed out. At this time, the hoist 8 drives the bulk bag 10 to lift upward by a certain distance to disengage from the bayonet A2. At the same time, the traveling trolley 9 drives the bulk bag 10 with the remaining material to move towards the bayonet B3 so that the bayonet B3 pierces the side of the bulk bag 10B; S4. The hoist 8 drives the bulk bag 10 to lift upward by a certain distance so that the bayonet B3 makes a long opening in the side of the bulk bag 10 for the second discharging. During the second discharging, a part of the remaining material flows out from the long opening made in the side; S5. After the second discharging, the bag clamping mechanism operates to clamp the bulk bag, and then the telescopic mechanism reciprocates to make the bulk bag be violently shaken to completely release the remaining material; During operation, first, the telescopic mechanisms on both sides of the hopper 1 operate to make the clamping mechanisms on both sides move towards the bulk bag. Then, the finger cylinder 5 operates to clamp both sides of the bulk bag. Then, the telescopic mechanism reciprocates at a certain speed. At this time, the operation of the bag clamping mechanism is similar to two hands pinching the bulk bag from both sides and violently shaking it, so that the remaining material in the bag flows out from the bottom opening and the long opening in the side as much as possible.

[0022] When the above steps are executed, the traveling trolley 9, the hoist 8 and the bag clamping mechanism can be automatically controlled by the PLC controller program to execute actions in the order of the steps to achieve automation; the driving mechanism of the traveling trolley 9 uses a servo motor and is signal-connected to the PLC controller.
