Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an injection mold, in particular to a folding mechanism for a cement rotary kiln bricklaying mold frame. Background Art

[0002] 1. Deficiencies of traditional bricklaying technology

[0003] The construction of the inner lining of the cylinder has long relied on manual labor, resulting in low efficiency, poor precision, and high labor intensity. Existing mechanical auxiliary equipment uses a fixed formwork, which is bulky and unable to adapt to the narrow space inside the cylinder. Furthermore, after the formwork is deployed, it is difficult to dynamically adjust the concentricity with the cylinder, resulting in uneven brick joints and affecting the quality of the masonry.

[0004] 2. Limitations of existing folding mechanisms

[0005] The disclosed technology proposes a folding support frame, but it only allows for simple opening and closing and lacks adaptive adjustment capabilities for the varying diameters of the cylinder. Furthermore, the existing mechanism relies on a single hydraulic cylinder to compress the refractory bricks, resulting in uneven pressure distribution that can easily damage the bricks and prevents precise insertion of the sealing plate.

[0006] 3. Industry demand

[0007] There is an urgent need for a mold base mechanism with the following characteristics:

[0008] Folding and storage: The volume of the mechanism in the free state is ≤ the cylinder inlet diameter, making it easy for the entire machine to enter the kiln; Dynamic concentric adjustment: In the working state, the mold frame can be quickly unfolded into a circle with a diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylinder, and automatically calibrated to align with the central axis of the cylinder; High-precision pressing: Synchronous pressure is applied at multiple points to avoid brick deviation or breakage; Sealing adaptability: Supports brick type ratio calculation and sealing plate embedding to eliminate circumferential gaps.

[0009] 4. Connection of various components

[0010] The cylinder of the existing bricklaying formwork folding mechanism is unstable to install, and the uneven pressure distribution can easily lead to damage to the brick body and reduce the service life of the assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0037] 1. In use

[0038] 1. Initial positioning: The whole machine enters the cylinder through the walking mechanism, and the mold frame is in a folded state;

[0039] 2. Formwork expansion: The electric push rod is activated to drive the articulated connecting rod to expand into a ring structure. The laser rangefinder scans the inner wall of the cylinder to generate point cloud data. The PLC calculates the center offset of the formwork and adjusts the cross truss telescopic arm.

[0040] 3. Brick pressing: The brick feeding mechanism sends the refractory bricks to the preset slots on the mold frame. After the cylinder / electric cylinder pushes them to the surface of the brick, the cylinder applies pressure. The feedback value of the pressure sensor is stable within the range of ±5% and is considered qualified.

[0041] 4. Sealing operation: When the masonry reaches the last ring, the system generates the size of the sealing plate according to the remaining gap width. The pneumatic push rod pushes the sealing plate into the gap and injects refractory glue to seal it.

[0042] 2. Workflow

[0043] 1. Folding entry: After the mold frame is folded, the overall height is ≤2.0m, and it is carried into the rotary kiln by the traveling mechanism;

[0044] 2. Expanding and positioning: The drive device expands the connecting rod system to form a circular mold frame, the laser rangefinder scans the inner wall of the cylinder, and the PLC calculates the center offset and adjusts the expansion and contraction of the cross truss;

[0045] 3. Masonry stage: The rotary brick feeding mechanism transports the refractory bricks to the preset position of the formwork, the cylinder-electric cylinder composite unit extends and presses the bricks, and the pressure sensor ensures uniform pressure;

[0046] 4. Symmetrical masonry: The left and right sides work synchronously. After every 6 to 12 bricks are completed, the formwork rotates a certain angle (achieved by the servo motor driving the gear meshing);

[0047] 5. Sealing treatment: When the last ring is laid, the PLC calculates the size of the sealing plate according to the brick ratio, the clamping mechanism is embedded in the sealing plate and refractory glue is injected to fill the gap.

[0048] 3. During construction

[0049] The folded formwork, in its transport state, passes along the rotary kiln axis and enters the designated position. The electric push rods are activated to unfold each folding unit to the set diameter. After a laser rangefinder verifies that the circumferential accuracy error is ≤2mm, the hinge positioning pins are locked. When the bricklaying machine delivers the refractory bricks to the set angle, the pneumatic / electric cylinder at that position applies a constant force to maintain support. During this process, the pressure sensor provides real-time feedback, and the control system automatically compensates for pressure deviations caused by the cylinder's ovality.

[0050] The folding mechanism of this cement rotary kiln bricklaying formwork features an adaptive folding and unfolding design with two degrees of freedom. This reduces the formwork's volume by 60% when folded, forming a rigid, ring-shaped formwork when unfolded. Integrated laser positioning and PLC feedback control enable millimeter-level concentricity adjustment. The pneumatic cylinder (constant pressure) and electric cylinder (precise displacement) work together to prevent overpressure damage to the bricks. The electric cylinder body incorporates a main positioning and tightening cylinder positioning slot structure, as well as a lower end surface tightening cylinder positioning frame structure, providing dual fixing for the cylinder body, ensuring stable operation.

Without departing from the spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary engineers and technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present invention.
