Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of V-bending powdering test for zinc-iron alloy plates, and specifically relates to a fully automatic V-bending powdering test system and method for zinc-iron alloy plates. Background Art

[0002] The surface of the zinc-iron alloy steel plate is plated with an anti-corrosion coating. The factory inspection of the product needs to detect the adhesion performance of the zinc-iron alloy coating, and usually the V-bending powdering test is used for evaluation.

[0003] Currently, the V-bending powdering test is carried out manually. The entire V-bending powdering test process includes: (1) Cleaning the surface of the specimen: Manually wipe the upper and lower surfaces of the specimen with alcohol to remove oil stains; at the same time, wipe the upper and lower dies. (2) Natural drying: The specimen template after wiping alcohol needs to be naturally dried and can only be put into the V-bending test machine for the V-bending test after drying. (3) V-shaped bending: Select dies with different angles according to the requirements of GB / T 39130-2020 "Test Method for Adhesion of Zinc Coating on Zinc-Iron Alloy Products", and manually use the V-bending test machine to bend the upper and lower surfaces of the specimen into a "V" shape. (4) Flattening: Manually use the flattening die to press the specimen after V-shaped bending into 180° horizontal. The existing production method of the V-bending powdering test has the following problems.

[0004] 1. Low production efficiency. The V-bending powdering test link of the zinc-iron alloy plate has always been the bottleneck of the production efficiency in the finished product physical inspection operation area. The specific reasons are as follows: In the V-bending powdering test, it is necessary to manually wipe the die and the specimen with alcohol cotton; select a suitable bending die according to the test standard, manually punch to bend the steel plate, then manually turn it over, punch again, and finally use the flattening die to flatten it. The test process is cumbersome and the labor efficiency of personnel is low. It is difficult for the V-bending powdering test cycle compliance rate to meet the production requirements.

[0005] 2. High labor intensity. Using traditional manual V-bending powdering test equipment requires manual completion of cumbersome processes such as sorting specimens, wiping specimens, natural drying, bending specimens, flattening specimens, and finally sorting and placing. Such repetitive actions are performed throughout the work shift, and the labor intensity of employees is too high.

[0006] 3. There are potential hazards in occupational health, environmental protection and safety. During the specimen wiping process, high-purity anhydrous alcohol is used, and anhydrous alcohol has high volatility, posing a risk of respiratory irritation caused by inhalation into the nasal cavity by personnel.

[0027] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The following will refer to the drawings and combine with the embodiments to detail the present invention.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, a fully automatic zinc-iron alloy plate V-bending and powdering test system of the present invention includes a material tray 100, a material table 200 for placing the material tray, a loading and unloading robot 300, a fully automatic ultrasonic cleaning device 400, a centering and positioning device 500 for positioning and clamping the material tray, a fully automatic V-bending test machine 600, and a control cabinet 700 that operates automatically according to the process. A human-machine interface 701 is installed on the control cabinet 700.

[0029] The loading and unloading robot 300 can both grab the material tray and transfer it between the material table, the fully automatic ultrasonic cleaning device, and the centering and positioning device; and can also pick up a single test on the material tray and transfer it to the fully automatic V-bending test machine for testing, and then put it back to the original position after the test is completed.

[0030] As Figure 2 shown, the tray 100 includes a base 101, a gripper clamping member 102 mounted on the base, and a plurality of specimen support rods 103. A plurality of specimen card slots 104 are evenly distributed on the specimen support rods. A clamping hole 105 is provided on the gripper clamping member 102. The specimen 106 is placed on the specimen card slots corresponding to two specimen support rods 103.

[0031] As Figure 3 shown, a first sensor 201 for detecting whether there is a tray and a second sensor 202 for detecting whether there is a specimen on the tray are installed on the material table 200.

[0032] As Figure 1 、 4 shown, the loading and unloading robot 300 includes a robot body and a gripper connected to the end of the movable arm of the robot body.

A convex block 304 is provided in the middle of one of the jaws 302, and a groove 305 adapted to the shape of the convex block is provided in the middle of the other jaw 303. When the two jaws grip the specimen, the convex block 304 enters the groove 305. When the two jaws grip the tray, the convex block 304 passes through the clamping hole 105 to serve as the suspension support of the tray and prevent it from falling off during the transfer process.

[0033] As Figure 1 、 5 shown, an automatic lifting frame 420 for placing the tray is installed on one side of the cleaning tank 410 of the full-automatic ultrasonic cleaning device 400. Specifically, the automatic lifting frame 420 includes a frame body 421, a vertical connecting rod 422, and a driving mechanism 423. The lower end of the vertical connecting rod 422 is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the frame body 421, and the upper part of the vertical connecting rod 422 is connected to the driving mechanism 423. The driving mechanism is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning tank 410 of the full-automatic ultrasonic cleaning device. When the driving mechanism operates, it can drive the vertical connecting rod 422 and the frame body 421 to move up and down. When the frame body of the automatic lifting frame descends, it can drive the tray into the cleaning tank 410 for ultrasonic cleaning. Specifically, the driving mechanism can be an electric push rod, and the end of the push rod is connected to the upper part of the vertical connecting rod 422 through a connecting member.

[0034] Preferably, a plurality of tray limit blocks 424 are further provided on the four peripheries of the frame body 421. By limiting with the tray limit blocks 424, it can prevent the tray from shifting during the cleaning process.

[0035] As Figure 6As shown in the figure, the centering and positioning device 500 includes a centering workbench 501. Two fixed limit blocks 502 are provided on the centering workbench 501, and clamping cylinders 503 are arranged opposite to each of the two fixed limit blocks 502. The two fixed limit blocks correspond to two adjacent sides of the tray. After the tray is placed on the centering workbench 501, the piston rods of the two clamping cylinders 503 are pushed out, and in cooperation with the two fixed limit blocks 502, the tray 100 is positioned and clamped. A barcode scanner 504 is also installed on the centering workbench 501 through a bracket. The barcode scanner can scan the identification code (barcode or QR code) on the specimen to obtain the test requirements of the specimen.

[0036] As Figure 7 shown in the figure, two sets of V-bending dies 601, 602 with different angles and a flattening die 603 are provided on the full-automatic V-bending testing machine 600. During the test, the appropriate V-bending die can be selected for stamping according to the test requirement angle of the specimen.

[0037] As Figure 8 shown in the figure, the present invention also discloses a test method based on the above full-automatic V-bending and powdering test system for zinc-iron alloy plates, and the specific process steps are as follows.

[0038] (1) Feeding the tray: Place the specimen (zinc-iron alloy plate) with an identification code on the tray. After placing it well, place it on the material table; click "feeding completed" through the human-machine interface on the control cabinet.

[0039] (2) Ultrasonic cleaning: The loading and unloading robot automatically grabs the tray and transfers it to the automatic lifting frame in the cleaning tank of the ultrasonic cleaning device; the automatic lifting frame automatically descends, and ultrasonic cleaning is automatically started. After cleaning, the automatic lifting frame rises and waits for the tray and the specimen to dry. (3) Centering and positioning: The loading and unloading robot transfers the dried tray to the centering workbench of the centering and positioning device and positions and clamps the material table. (4) V-bending test: The loading and unloading robot clamps a specimen to be tested on the tray on the centering workbench, moves it to the barcode scanner, obtains the V-bending angle required for this test by scanning the identification code, and then the loading and unloading robot transfers the specimen to the V-bending die with the corresponding angle on the full-automatic V-bending testing machine for a V-bending stamping. After completion, the loading and unloading robot samples and flips the V-bent specimen, and then sends it to the V-bending die for a second V-bending stamping. After completion, the loading and unloading robot samples the specimen to the flattening fixture for flattening; finally, the loading and unloading robot places the flattened specimen into the sample tray on the centering and positioning device; then grabs the next specimen to be tested and repeats the V-bending test until all the specimens on the tray on the centering workbench are completed. (5) Returning the tray and unloading: The loading and unloading robot transfers the entire tray to the material table. The V-bending test process for one tray of specimens is completed.

[0040] Preferably, in actual tests, multiple trays can be prepared for testing simultaneously. For example, four sets of trays can be prepared on the tray table. During the test process, when the first tray is dried and transferred to the centering and positioning device, the loading and unloading robot will grab the second tray and transfer it to the full-automatic ultrasonic cleaning device for cleaning; when there is an empty position in the centering and positioning device and there is a dried tray on the full-automatic ultrasonic cleaning device, the loading and unloading robot will transfer the dried tray to the centering and positioning device. In this way, the waiting time during the cleaning process can be reduced, and the production efficiency can be improved. After all 4 trays are completed, the test ends.

[0041] In addition, for safe production, the surrounding of the test working area can be enclosed and there are inlets and outlets for feeding and taking materials. A safety light curtain is set at the inlets and outlets; during the test operation, when the safety light curtain senses that someone enters, the action of the loading and unloading robot will be suspended; ensuring production safety.

[0042] Although the above preferred embodiments are listed in the present invention, it should be noted that although those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications, unless such changes and modifications deviate from the scope of the present invention, they should all be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
