TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of angle steel production equipment, in particular to the technical field of angle steel galvanized hanging parts, and relates to an angle steel automatic hanging part production line and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Angle steel is a raw material widely used in the construction of steel frame structures such as power towers and signal towers. After forming, the angle steel needs to be surface hot galvanized by immersing the angle steel in molten zinc liquid to form a zinc-iron alloy coating to achieve rust and corrosion prevention.
[0003] Before entering the galvanizing pool for galvanizing, the angle steel needs to be "hanged", that is, a hanging hole (through hole) is opened near the end of the angle steel, and the angle steel is hung on the hanging rack one by one, and then the hanging rack with the hung angle steel is immersed in the galvanizing pool by the row hoist equipment for hot galvanizing. At present, the manual hanging of angle steel has the following technical problems: 1. Since the angle steel is heavy and usually stacked on the ground, manual hanging requires bending down to take one piece at a time, standing up, aligning the angle steel hanging hole with the hook to complete the suspension, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming and laborious. 2. The hooks of the existing angle steel hanging rack are usually L-shaped, and the horizontal section of the hook has no anti-falling design, which can easily cause the angle steel to fall off the hook and injure the worker; during the galvanizing process, the angle steel may also fall off the hook in the galvanizing pool, and after the angle steel falls off, the production must be stopped to fish the fallen angle steel, re-clean the zinc liquid, delay production, and even damage the equipment in serious cases; if a simple anti-falling blocking structure is designed on the horizontal section of the hook, it will also make it more difficult to hang and take down the angle steel, reducing production efficiency. 3.

The three-axis robot 4 is located above the hanger storage platforms 2 and hanger storage racks 3 and can be moved to cover the hanger storage platforms 2 and hanger storage racks 3. The angle steel storage platform 5 is located in front of the hanger storage rack 3, and the magnetic robot 6 is located between the angle steel storage platform 5 and the hanger storage rack 3. The angle steel alignment platform 7 is located to the left and outer side of the magnetic robot 6. Angle steel 8 is aligned and placed on the angle steel alignment platform 7.
[0017] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the self-locking hanger 1 is composed of a fixed hanger and a movable blocking frame. The fixed hanger includes a fixed hanger beam 101, and a plurality of vertical L-shaped hooks 102 are welded on the lower surface of the fixed hanger beam 101 at equal intervals. A clamping joint 103 is formed at each end of the fixed hanger beam 101, and the clamping joint 103 is a wedge-shaped protrusion. The clamping joint 103 is used to cooperate with the wedge-shaped clamping hole on the hanger storage table 2 and the hanging piece storage rack 3 to limit the self-locking hanger 1. A lifting lug 104 is welded on each side of the upper surface of the fixed hanger beam 101, and a round lifting hole is formed in the upper end of the lifting lug 104. When hot-dip galvanizing, the fork rod of the lifting equipment will pass through the two lifting holes, thereby lifting the self-locking hanger 1. A vertical sliding guide column structure 105 is fixedly welded on one side of the lifting lug 104, and the sliding guide column structure 105 includes an upper limiting block 105a, a lower limiting block 105b, and a vertical sliding guide column 105c welded between the upper limiting block 105a and the lower limiting block 105b. A connecting column 106 is welded on the middle of the upper surface of the fixed hanger beam 101, and a spring positioning pin 107 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting column 106. One side of the spring positioning pin 107 is a handle that can be pulled outward, and the handle includes a handle head 107a and a handle rod 107c. The other side is a spring pin head 107b that can be ejected and retracted. By pulling the handle head 107a outward, the spring pin head 107b can be retracted. The spring positioning pin 107 has a return spring inside, and after the handle head 107a is released, the spring pin head 107b will be ejected again. The "spring positioning pin" is a commonly used existing product in the mechanical field, and the specific structure can be checked in the published product manual.
[0018] The movable blocking frame includes a movable blocking frame beam 108, and a plurality of vertical angle steel blocking columns 111 are welded on the lower surface of the movable blocking frame beam 108 at equal intervals. Each hook 102 is correspondingly provided with an angle steel blocking column 111 in front of it. A vertical sliding guide hole 110 is formed at each end of the movable blocking frame beam 108, and the two sliding guide columns 105c pass through the sliding guide holes 110 on the same side to form a sliding fit, so that the movable blocking frame beam 108 can slide up and down relative to the fixed hanger. The upper and lower sliding ranges of the movable blocking frame beam 108 are limited by the upper limiting block 105a and the lower limiting block 105b. A pin hole column 109 is welded on the upper surface of the movable blocking frame beam 108, and a first pin hole 109a is formed in the upper part and a second pin hole 109b is formed in the lower part of the side surface of the pin hole column 109 towards the spring positioning pin 107. When the movable blocking frame beam 108 slides to the uppermost position, the spring pin head 107b will be inserted into the second pin hole 109b. When the movable blocking frame beam 108 slides to the lowermost position, the spring pin head 107b will be inserted into the first pin hole 109a.
[0019] When the self-locking hanger 1 is not in use, its initial state is that the spring pin head 107b is inserted into the second pin hole 109b and the movable blocking frame is located at the highest sliding position.
[0020] After hanging an angle steel 8 on each hook 102, the handle head 107a is pulled outward, and the spring pin head 107b is pulled out of the second pin hole 109b. At this time, the movable stopper will naturally fall under the action of gravity, and after falling to the lowest sliding position, the handle head 107a is released, and the spring pin head 107b rebounds and is inserted into the first pin hole 109a. At this time, the position of each angle steel stop column 111 is lowered, and the upper end of the angle steel 8 is horizontally limited and self-locked. At this time, the two lifting lugs 104 are hooked using the line hoist equipment, and the self-locking hanging rack 1 and the angle steel 8 on the rack are transported. No matter the vibration or the inclination, the angle steel 8 will not fall off. After hot galvanizing is completed, only the handle head 107a is pulled outward, the movable stopper beam 108 is pushed back to the original position, and then the handle head 107a is released, so that the angle steel 8 is released from the limit, and the angle steel 8 is conveniently taken off.

The six-axis robot 601 then lowers the magnetic claw mounting plate 603 so that each of the magnetic claw heads 604 contacts the center of a single angle steel 8. The magnetic claw heads 604 are then electromagnetized, and the mounting plate 603 moves upward, allowing the group of angle steels 8 to be lifted. For example, if the angle steels 8 are placed in a V-shape on the angle steel storage table 5, the magnetic claw heads 604 are oriented vertically downward. If the angle steels 8 are placed in an L-shape on the angle steel alignment table 7, the magnetic claw heads 604 are rotated 45 degrees left or right so that the electromagnets at their lower ends precisely contact the sides of the angle steels 8.
[0029] The angle steels 8 stacked on the angle steel storage table 5 may not be aligned front to back due to transportation or other reasons. After the magnetic robot 6 directly picks them up, the hanging holes on the angle steels 8 are not aligned, and they cannot all be hung on the self-locking hanger 1 at one time. Therefore, the angle steel hanging holes need to be aligned.
[0030] like Figure 12 、 Figure 13 As shown, the angle steel alignment platform 7 includes a movable tray 701 and an alignment platform base 705. A fixed support rod 703 and two telescopic rods 704 are disposed between the movable tray 701 and the alignment platform base 705. One side of the bottom surface of the movable tray 701 is movably connected to the upper end of the fixed support rod 703 via a universal joint, and the lower end of the fixed support rod 703 is fixedly connected to the alignment platform base 705. The front and rear portions of the other side of the bottom surface of the movable tray 701 are movably connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod 704 via universal joints, and the lower ends of the telescopic rod 704 are movably connected to the alignment platform base 705 via universal joints. The telescopic rods 704 are rods whose length can be controlled and automatically extended and retracted, for example, by using a servo motor to control the extension and retraction of the rod ends, or by using an electric cylinder to drive the extension and retraction of the rod ends. There are several alignment grooves 702 on the upper surface of the movable tray 701. The alignment grooves 702 are rectangular grooves parallel to each other and arranged at equal intervals. The angle steels 8 can be placed in the alignment grooves 702 and can slide in the alignment grooves 702. The number of alignment grooves 702 is consistent with the total number of hooks 102 of a self-locking hanger 1.
[0031] When performing the angle steel hanging piece, the hoisting and transporting equipment carries the empty hanging piece storage rack 3, and after positioning the four hanging piece storage rack positioning pin holes 304 respectively with the ground hanging piece storage rack positioning pins, the hanging piece storage rack 3 is placed down. After the hanging piece storage rack 3 is placed in position, the three-axis mechanical hand 4 moves an empty self-locking hanging rack 1 from the hanging rack placing table 202 to the hanging piece placing position of the hanging piece storage rack 3, so that the clamping joints 103 on both sides of the self-locking hanging rack 1 are respectively clamped with the wedge-shaped clamping holes two of the hanging piece support plates 303 on both sides of the hanging piece placing position. Then, the magnetic suction mechanical hand 6 hangs a group of angle steels 8 on the self-locking hanging rack 1, and the three-axis mechanical hand 4 pulls the handle head 107a to complete the anti-dropping locking, that is, the angle steel hanging piece of the self-locking hanging rack 1 is completed. Then the three-axis mechanical hand 4 takes the second self-locking hanging rack 1, completes the hanging piece, and repeats until the hanging piece storage rack 3 is full of self-locking hanging racks 1 and all the angle steel hanging pieces are completed. The hoisting and transporting equipment forks up the full hanging piece storage rack 3 and transports it to the hot galvanizing process position. The all self-locking hanging racks 1 are hoisted by the line hoist device for hot galvanizing, at this time all the hanging piece placing positions of the hanging piece storage rack 3 are empty, and the above steps are repeated to perform the next round of angle steel hanging piece. The "a group" refers to the total number of angle steels 8 that can be hung on one self-locking hanging rack 1. In this embodiment two, the self-locking hanging rack 1 has eight hooks 102, so "a group of angle steels 8" refers to eight angle steels 8. Embodiment two
[0032] Embodiment two gives an angle steel automatic hanging piece method, which is applied to the angle steel automatic hanging piece production line described in embodiment one, including the following steps: s01, using the hoisting and transporting equipment to carry and code the angle steel 8 to be galvanized on the angle steel storage table 5.
[0033] s02, using the hoisting and transporting equipment to carry and place the hanging rack placing table 202 full of empty self-locking hanging racks 1 on the hanging rack placing table base 201, and place the empty hanging piece storage rack 3.
[0034] When performing the angle steel hanging piece, the hanging rack placing table 202 first completes the feeding of the empty self-locking hanging rack 1 at other stations, that is, the worker or automatic equipment places the empty self-locking hanging rack 1 in the unlocked state on the hanging rack placing table 202 one by one, and fills all the hanging rack placing positions of the hanging rack placing table 202. Then the hoisting and transporting equipment forks the hanging rack placing table fork plate 203, carries the hanging rack placing table 202 to above the hanging rack placing table base 201 and slowly places it down, so that the placing table positioning pin holes 206 are aligned and placed with the placing table positioning pins 205.
[0035] S03, the three-axis mechanical hand 4 picks up the self-locking hanger 1 at the front of the hanger placement table 202 and places it on the empty hanger placement position at the back of the hanger storage rack 3; at the same time, the magnetic mechanical hand 6 picks up a group of angle steels 8 from the angle steel storage table 5 and moves them to the angle steel alignment table 7, the magnetic mechanical hand 6 releases the angle steels 8 and moves away, and the angle steel alignment table 7 aligns the holes of the angle steels 8.
[0036] As shown in Figure 14 , Figure 15 , the action of the hanger picking hand 405 picking up the self-locking hanger 1 is as follows: first, the hanger picking hand 405 moves forward along the X axis (the X axis, Y axis and Z axis directions are described in embodiment two, reference Figure 6 ) to the front side of the self-locking hanger 1, then moves left and right along the Y axis to align the center lines of the hanger picking hand 405 and the self-locking hanger 1, and then moves downward along the Z axis to a position where the upper surface of the hanger picking hand 405 is slightly lower than the lower surface of the movable blocking beam 108. The hanger picking hand 405 moves backward along the X axis until the rear side of the Z axis track 404 is in contact with the movable blocking beam 108, at this time, the two square boss structures of the hanger picking hand 405 are located directly below the movable blocking beam 108, the hanger picking hand 405 moves upward along the Z axis, and the square boss structure can lift the self-locking hanger 1 upward to complete the picking up.
[0037] The action of the hanger picking hand 405 placing the self-locking hanger 1 on the hanger storage rack 3 is as follows: first, the hanger picking hand 405 moves upward along the Z axis to the highest position, adjusts the X direction and Y direction positions of the hanger picking hand 405, so that the self-locking hanger 1 is located directly above the most rear empty hanger placement position, and the clamping joints 103 at both ends of the self-locking hanger 1 are respectively aligned with the wedge-shaped sockets two on both sides of the hanger placement position. The hanger picking hand 405 moves downward along the Z axis to place the self-locking hanger 1 on the hanger placement position. As the hanger picking hand 405 moves downward, the lower side of the movable blocking beam 108 will be away from the upper side of the boss structure of the hanger picking hand 405, then the hanger picking hand 405 moves forward along the X direction, and the hanger picking hand 405 completely separates from the self-locking hanger 1, that is, the placement of the self-locking hanger 1 is completed.
[0038] As shown in Figure 16 , Figure 17As shown, when the alignment of the angle steel hanging hole is performed, first, the movable tray 701 is adjusted to be horizontal through the extension and retraction of the two telescopic rods 704. After the magnetic manipulator 6 takes a group of angle steels 8 from the angle steel storage table 5, the orientations of all the magnetic gripper heads 604 are adjusted to be inclined at an angle of 45 degrees, so that the placement form of the angle steels 8 is adjusted from V-shaped to L-shaped, and the side where all the angle steel hanging holes are located is horizontally located below. Then the magnetic manipulator 6 places the angle steels 8 one by one in the alignment groove 702 in a corresponding manner. After the magnetic gripper heads 604 are powered off and demagnetized, the magnetic manipulator 6 moves upward, so that the angle steels 8 are placed into the movable tray 701, thereby completing the placing of the angle steels 8 into the movable tray 701. Then the extension and retraction of the telescopic rods 704 is controlled, so that the telescopic rod 704 closer to the side of the angle steel hanging hole is shortened, and the telescopic rod 704 on the other side is lengthened, so that the movable tray 701 is inclined, and the angle steels 8 slide to the side where the angle steel hanging hole is located under the action of gravity, until all the angle steels 8 are attached to the front or rear sidewall of the alignment groove 702 on the side close to the hanging hole, thereby completing the alignment of the angle steel hanging hole.
[0039] Furthermore, the movable tray 701 of the present application can not only be inclined forward and backward in the length direction of the angle steel 8, but also be inclined left and right in the width direction. Specifically, since the upper end of the fixed support rod 703 is fixed and unchanged, when the two telescopic rods 704 are simultaneously lengthened, the right side (the "right side" refers to the right side in the perspective view) of the movable tray 701 is lifted, so that the movable tray 701 is inclined to the left. Conversely, when the two telescopic rods 704 are simultaneously shortened, the movable tray 701 is inclined to the right. In this way, when the width size of the angle steel 8 is smaller than the alignment groove 702, after the alignment of the angle steel hanging hole is performed, the movable tray 701 is inclined to the left or to the right, so that the angle steels 8 slide in the width direction until the vertical surface of the angle steel 8 is also attached to the sidewall of the alignment groove 702, thereby ensuring that the aligned angle steels 8 still maintain parallel to each other, and the distance between them remains unchanged as before, so that the magnetic manipulator 6 can take all the aligned angle steels 8 at one time. Figure 16
[0040] In order to speed up the sliding of the angle steels 8, after the movable tray 701 is inclined, the two telescopic rods 704 are quickly and slightly extended and retracted, so that the movable tray 701 is slightly shaken, and the angle steels 8 are more easily slid.
[0041] As shown in FIG. 6, after the alignment of the angle steel hanging hole is completed, the movable tray 701 is slowly adjusted back to the horizontal state, and the magnetic manipulator 6 takes the aligned angle steels 8 again. Figure 18
[0042] s04、The magnetic manipulator 6 takes the aligned angle steels 8 and hangs a group of angle steels 8 on the frontmost self-locking hanger 1 of the hanging part storage rack 3. The three-axis manipulator 4 pulls out the spring positioning pin 107 of the self-locking hanger 1, and the movable blocking rack beam naturally falls to the lowest position. Then the three-axis manipulator 4 releases the spring positioning pin 107, and then the magnetic manipulator 6 releases the angle steels 8.
[0043] At this time, the hanging holes of all angle steels 8 are in line, and the magnetic manipulator 6 picks up the aligned angle steels 8, and can hang a group of angle steels 8 on the self-locking hanging rack 1 at a time, with each hanging hole corresponding to a hook 102, thereby completing the hanging of the angle steels. During hanging, the industrial camera 602 can assist the magnetic manipulator 6 to complete the alignment of the hanging holes and the hooks 102 through vision.
[0044] A group of angle steels 8 are hung on the self-locking hanging rack 1, and the spring positioning pin 107 needs to be pulled out to lock and fix the angle steels 8, as shown in Figure 19 The action of the three-axis manipulator 4 to pull out the spring positioning pin 107 is as follows: first, the hanging rack taking gripper 405 rises along the Z axis to the highest position, and then the X axis direction and Y axis direction positions are adjusted so that the pull pin opening 406 is located directly above the handle rod 107c; the hanging rack taking gripper 405 is lowered along the Z axis to the handle rod 107c to be clamped into the pull pin opening 406. Then the hanging rack taking gripper 405 moves backward along the X axis, and the hanging rack taking gripper 405 will push the handle head 107a backward, thereby pulling out the spring positioning pin 107.
[0045] s05, if there are still self-locking hanging racks 1 on the hanging rack placing table 202 and there are still remaining angle steels 8 on the angle steel storage table 5, return and re-execute s03; if there are no self-locking hanging racks 1 on the hanging rack placing table 202 and there are still remaining angle steels 8 on the angle steel storage table 5, use the lifting and transporting equipment to lift the full hanging rack storage 3 from the current position and move it to the next process, and use the lifting and transporting equipment to take back the empty hanging rack placing table 202, return and execute s02; if there are still self-locking hanging racks 1 on the hanging rack placing table 202 and there are no remaining angle steels 8 on the angle steel storage table 5, use the lifting and transporting equipment to lift the not full hanging rack storage 3 from the current position and move it to the next process, and the angle steel automatic hanging is completed.
[0046] When the self-locking hanging racks 1 on the hanging rack placing table 202 are emptied and there are still remaining angle steels 8 on the angle steel storage table 5, the lifting and transporting equipment lifts the empty hanging rack placing table 202 back to the self-locking hanging rack 1 feeding station to continuously feed the empty self-locking hanging racks 1.
