Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of refractory material conveying technology, and specifically to a finished refractory material conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Finished refractory materials refer to refractory products that have undergone processing, molding, and firing processes and can be directly used in high-temperature industrial environments. Among them, refractory bricks are shaped refractory products manufactured through processes such as raw material proportioning, molding, drying, and high-temperature firing. They have a fixed shape, size, and chemical composition and can be used to construct the linings of industrial furnaces and kilns. Knife-edge bricks are a type of refractory brick, named for their shape, which is thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom, resembling a knife edge. They can meet the diverse needs of industrial kiln construction, such as building circular furnace bodies and arched furnace roofs.

[0003] The standard production process of refractory bricks generally includes steps such as molding, drying, firing, packaging, and warehousing. For ease of storage, transportation, and management, qualified refractory bricks typically need to be stacked after production. Current technology utilizes robotic arms or clamping mechanisms to transport and stack refractory bricks. To improve stacking stability, a staggered stacking method can be used, where upper and lower layers of bricks are arranged in a staggered manner to avoid vertical joints causing a shift in the center of gravity.

[0004] For example, patent document CN116534579B discloses a refractory brick stacking system. This system includes a flipping mechanism, a robotic arm, a gripper structure, and gripping arms. In use, for refractory bricks that do not require flipping, the robotic arm directly inserts the gripping arms into the press to clamp and remove the refractory bricks, placing them in a single layer on the stacking pallet. Then, when stacking the second layer, the gripping arms first place the removed refractory bricks on a flat plate, then clamp them using the gripper structure, and rotate them 90 degrees under the drive of a pneumatic motor. Finally, the gripping arms remove the bricks and place them on the first layer of refractory bricks, performing automatic vertical staggered stacking.

[0005] The aforementioned refractory brick stacking system uses grippers to clamp refractory bricks and transfer them. However, when stacking kerfed bricks, due to their shape (wider at the top and narrower at the bottom), it is difficult for the grippers to find suitable clamping points when multiple kerfed bricks are placed side by side. This makes it difficult for the grippers to fit well with the multiple kerfed bricks, and the grippers cannot apply clamping force evenly, which can easily lead to insecure clamping. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a finished refractory material conveying device, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that the clamping mechanism is difficult to clamp the blade bricks during the conveying process, which affects the stacking stability.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a finished refractory material conveying device, including a stacking platform that can be raised and lowered, a conveying frame, and a conveyor set on the conveying frame; one end of the conveyor is provided with a conveying channel, the conveying channel includes a conveying cylinder and a tilting cylinder connected alternately in a cycle, each conveying cylinder and tilting cylinder can hold one finished refractory material, the conveying cylinder and the tilting cylinder are rotatably connected, and the conveying frame is provided with a driving component, the driving component can drive the tilting cylinder to rotate 180°;

[0008] The outlet end of the conveying channel is equipped with a conveying platform, and the conveying frame is equipped with a screw adjustment mechanism that drives the conveying platform to move closer to or further away from the palletizing platform.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the finished refractory material of the present invention is a knife-edge brick, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The knife-edge brick is conveyed into the conveying channel by a conveyor. As the conveyor continues to convey, the knife-edge bricks on the conveyor push the knife-edge bricks in the conveying channel in front of it to move forward until each conveying cylinder and turning cylinder in the conveying channel has a knife-edge brick.

[0010] Then, the drive assembly drives the tilting cylinder to rotate 180°, and the tilting cylinder drives the knife-edge bricks inside the tilting cylinder to rotate 180° synchronously, so that the knife-edge bricks inside the tilting cylinder are narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, while the knife-edge bricks inside the conveying cylinder are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. In this way, the inclined surfaces of two adjacent knife-edge bricks can fit together tightly to form a seamless strip.

[0011] The scimitar bricks on the conveyor continue to push the scimitar bricks in the conveying channel forward. When all the scimitar bricks in this row after being flipped in the conveying channel have moved to the conveying platform, the screw adjusting mechanism drives the conveying platform to move towards the side closer to the stacking platform to a distance equal to the length of the scimitar bricks. This row of scimitar bricks on the conveying platform moves synchronously with the conveying platform. As the scimitar bricks conveyed by the conveyor enter the conveying channel, the conveying channel is now filled with unflipped scimitar bricks. The drive component drives the flipping cylinder to flip, and the above operation steps are repeated until the number of rows of scimitar bricks placed on the conveying platform meets the requirement of the number of rows of scimitar bricks per layer when stacking. After the screw adjusting mechanism drives the conveying platform to move above the stacking platform, it drives the conveying platform to move backward, so that the scimitar bricks fall onto the stacking platform.

[0012] This invention allows the blade bricks in the conveying channel to be alternately flipped, ensuring that the inclined surfaces of adjacent blade bricks fit together tightly, forming a seamless strip arrangement. This arrangement improves the space utilization of the blade bricks during the conveying process, reduces gaps between adjacent blade bricks, and facilitates neat stacking of the blade bricks on the stacking platform. It also reduces issues such as mutual compression, damage, and unstable stacking caused by improper stacking, thereby lowering the damage rate of the blade bricks.

[0013] Preferably, multiple conveying rollers are rotatably mounted on the conveyor frame near the outlet of the conveying channel. The axis of the conveying rollers is perpendicular to the axis of the conveying channel. A push plate and a linear driver that drives the push plate to move are provided on the conveying platform. The push plate can push the finished refractory material located on the conveying rollers onto the conveying platform.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, after the knife-edged bricks in the turning cylinder are turned over, as the conveyor continues to transport them, the knife-edged bricks on the conveyor first push the knife-edged bricks in the conveying channel closer to each other, so that two adjacent knife-edged bricks fit together. Then, the knife-edged bricks in the conveyor continue to push the knife-edged bricks in the conveying channel to the first conveying roller. The first linear driver drives the pusher plate to move, and the pusher plate gradually pushes the knife-edged bricks on the first conveying roller onto the conveying platform, which facilitates the stacking of knife-edged bricks.

[0015] Preferably, a U-shaped shaping frame is provided on the conveyor frame above the conveyor platform, with the opening of the shaping frame facing the palletizing platform, and the lifting and lowering of the shaping frame is driven by a linear drive.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the linear actuator 2 drives the shaping frame to move upward. When the number of rows of knife-edged bricks placed on the conveying platform meets the requirement of the number of rows of knife-edged bricks per layer during stacking, the screw adjustment mechanism drives the conveying platform to move towards the side closer to the stacking platform. When the knife-edged bricks on the conveying platform move to the bottom of the shaping frame, the linear actuator 2 drives the shaping frame to move downward. The shaping frame performs preliminary shaping on the knife-edged bricks on the conveying platform, which is conducive to the neat movement of the knife-edged bricks to the stacking platform, thereby improving the stability of stacking.

[0017] Preferably, two pairs of clamping plates are slidably provided on the conveyor frame above the palletizing platform. The two pairs of clamping plates can be arranged in a rectangle in sequence and can clamp the finished refractory material on the palletizing platform. The clamping plates are located below the shaping frame and are driven by a linear actuator.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, during the stacking process, after each layer of scissor bricks is placed, the stacking platform moves downwards, and the linear actuator's three-drive clamping plates clamp the newly stacked scissor bricks on the stacking platform. When stacking the upper layer of scissor bricks, the clamping plates always clamp the lower layer of scissor bricks, thus stabilizing the relative position between the upper and lower layers of scissor bricks. Since the upper layer of scissor bricks comes into contact with the lower layer of scissor bricks during their descent, clamping the lower layer of scissor bricks reduces movement or misalignment, thereby increasing the stability of the entire stacking structure.

[0019] Preferably, a rubber plate is installed on one side of each pair of clamps that is close to each other. The end of the rubber plate that is close to the finished refractory material is provided with a clamping surface at an angle, and the clamping surface slides in contact with the inclined surface of the finished refractory material.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, because the blade brick is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, the inclined clamping surface on the rubber plate can fit tightly against the inclined surface of the blade brick. This fitting method increases the contact area between the clamping plate and the blade brick, which, compared with flat clamping, helps to reduce the phenomenon of the blade brick sliding or shifting during clamping and improves the stability of clamping.

[0021] Preferably, a lifting plate is provided at the outlet end of the conveying channel on the conveying frame, and two limiting plates are provided parallel below the lifting plate. A limiting channel is left between the two limiting plates to limit the two ends of the finished refractory material. The lifting of the lifting plate is driven by a linear driver four, and a linear driver one is installed on the lifting plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the linear drive four drives the lifting plate to rise and fall, so as to adjust the height of the limit channel, so that the knife-edge brick can pass through the limit channel. At the same time, the lifting plate drives the push plate to rise and fall, so as to adjust the height of the push plate, so that when the push plate moves up, it can make way for the knife-edge brick to move onto the first conveyor roller, and when the push plate moves down, it can drive the knife-edge brick on the first conveyor roller to move onto the conveying platform.

[0023] Preferably, both the conveying cylinder and the tilting cylinder are rotatably connected to multiple conveying rollers. The four conveying rollers are arranged in a quadrilateral frame to allow the finished refractory material to pass through. Along the axial direction of the conveying channel, both the conveying cylinder and the tilting cylinder are provided with multiple quadrilateral frames.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the quadrilateral frame formed by the four conveying rollers provides a clear channel for the knife-edge bricks. When the knife-edge bricks enter the conveying cylinder or tilting cylinder, they are constrained by the quadrilateral frame to a specific position and direction, ensuring they are conveyed along a predetermined trajectory. This helps reduce deviations, tilting, or jamming during conveying, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the conveying process. When the tilting cylinder rotates the knife-edge bricks inside, the multiple quadrilateral frames provide support during the rotation, ensuring the rotated bricks remain in the correct position, facilitating subsequent conveying.

[0025] Preferably, the conveying platform includes a conveying frame and a plurality of conveying rollers rotatably connected to the conveying frame. The axial direction of the conveying rollers is perpendicular to the moving direction of the conveying platform. A slope is provided on the side of the conveying frame near the palletizing platform, and the slope gradually slopes downward from the end away from the palletizing platform to the end near the palletizing platform.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the scissor-cut bricks are transported to a position close to the stacking platform, the slope can guide the scissor-cut bricks to slide down slowly under their own weight, so that they can reach the stacking platform more smoothly, which is conducive to improving the neatness and stability of stacking.

[0027] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably disposed on one side of the tilting cylinder, a drive motor for driving the rotating shaft to rotate, a plurality of gears mounted on the rotating shaft, and a gear ring disposed on the tilting cylinder and meshing with the gears.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor directly drives the rotating shaft to rotate. Multiple gears on the rotating shaft mesh with the gear rings on multiple rotating cylinders, thereby driving multiple rotating cylinders to rotate. This causes the knife-edge bricks inside the rotating cylinders to rotate with the rotating cylinders. The knife-edge bricks in the conveying channel are alternately flipped at intervals, so that the inclined surfaces of adjacent knife-edge bricks fit together tightly to form a seamless strip arrangement, which facilitates the clamping mechanism to clamp and convey the knife-edge bricks.

[0029] Preferably, the palletizing platform is rotatably mounted above the scissor lift platform, which is equipped with a rotary motor that drives the palletizing platform to rotate.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the scissor lift platform can drive the palletizing platform to rise and fall, realizing the layer-by-layer palletizing of razor-edged bricks. When stacking razor-edged bricks in an alternating manner, the bricks only need to be transported to the palletizing platform, and the palletizing platform driven by the rotary motor can rotate to the appropriate palletizing position, which helps to improve the speed and efficiency of palletizing.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the above-described technical solution of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] 1. This invention allows the blade bricks in the conveying channel to be alternately flipped, so that the inclined surfaces of adjacent blade bricks fit together tightly, forming a seamless strip arrangement. This arrangement improves the space utilization of the blade bricks during the conveying process, reduces the gaps between adjacent blade bricks, and facilitates the neat stacking of blade bricks on the stacking platform. It also reduces the risk of blade bricks being squeezed, damaged, or unstablely stacked due to improper stacking, thereby reducing the damage rate of the blade bricks.

[0033] 2. The shaping frame of the present invention can perform preliminary shaping on the scissor-cut bricks that need to be stacked, and the clamping plate can clamp the lower layer of scissor-cut bricks on the stacking platform, so as to stabilize the relative position between the upper and lower layers of scissor-cut bricks. This helps to reduce the movement or misalignment of the lower layer of scissor-cut bricks caused by the upper layer of scissor-cut bricks during the falling process, thereby increasing the stability of the entire stacking structure.

[0034] 3. The rubber plate on the clamping plate of the present invention has an inclined clamping surface, which can be closely fitted with the inclined surface of the blade brick, increasing the contact area between the clamping plate and the blade brick, which helps to reduce the phenomenon of the blade brick sliding or shifting during the clamping process.

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Figures 1-8 The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described.

[0045] Example

[0046] This embodiment provides a finished refractory material conveying device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the finished refractory material 9 in this embodiment is a knife-edge brick. The finished refractory material conveying device includes a stacking platform 1, a conveyor frame 2, and a conveyor 3.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the palletizing platform 1 is rotatably mounted above the scissor lift platform 11, which is equipped with a rotary motor 12 that drives the palletizing platform 1 to rotate. The scissor lift platform 11 is a commonly used vertical transport device on the market and will not be described in detail. The scissor lift platform 11 can drive the palletizing platform 1 to rise and fall, realizing the layer-by-layer palletizing of the scissor-cut bricks. When stacking the scissor-cut bricks in an alternating manner, the bricks only need to be transported onto the palletizing platform 1, and the palletizing platform 1 driven by the rotary motor 12 can rotate to the appropriate palletizing position, which helps to improve the speed and efficiency of palletizing.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, conveyor 3 is mounted on conveyor frame 2. Conveyor 3 is used to transport knife-edged bricks, which are placed on conveyor 3 with a shape wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Conveyor 3 is a commonly used belt conveyor on the market, which uses an electric motor as the power source and a conveyor belt as the transmission component, and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the output end of the conveyor 3 is provided with a conveying channel 4, and the axial direction of the conveying channel 4 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor 3.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the conveying channel 4 includes a conveying cylinder 41 and a tilting cylinder 42. The conveying cylinder 41 and the tilting cylinder 42 are connected alternately and cyclically, and the conveying cylinder 41 and the tilting cylinder 42 are rotatably connected. Both ends of the conveying channel 4 are conveying cylinders 41, that is, the number of conveying cylinders 41 is one more than the number of tilting cylinders 42. The axis of the conveying cylinder 41 and the axis of the tilting cylinder 42 are collinear, and each conveying cylinder 41 and tilting cylinder 42 can hold one knife-edge brick.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a conveyor shaft 43 is installed on the conveyor frame 2 at the output end of the conveyor 3, and the axial direction of the conveyor shaft 43 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor 3. The lower part of the conveyor cylinder 41 is fixed to the conveyor shaft 43 by a fastener 44, which includes a connecting plate 441 and a connecting frame 442. The upper end of the connecting plate 441 is connected to the lower part of the conveyor cylinder 41, and the lower part of the connecting plate 441 is connected to the connecting frame 442. The connecting frame 442 is sleeved on the conveyor shaft 43 and is fixedly connected to the conveyor shaft 43.

[0052] like Figure 3As shown, a quadrilateral mounting frame 45 is connected inside both the conveying cylinder 41 and the tilting cylinder 42. The mounting frame 45 is connected to the inner wall of the conveying cylinder 41 or the tilting cylinder 42. Multiple conveying rollers 46 are rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 45. The four conveying rollers 46, one vertically and one horizontally, are arranged to form a quadrilateral frame 47 for the knife-edge brick to pass through. Multiple quadrilateral frames 47 are provided inside the mounting frame 45 along the axial direction of the conveying channel 4.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the conveyor frame 2 is equipped with a drive assembly 5, which can drive the tilting cylinder 42 to rotate 180°. The drive assembly 5 includes a rotating shaft 51, a drive motor 52, a gear 53, and a gear ring 54.

[0054] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating shaft 51 is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 2 and is located on one side of the tilting drum 42. The axis of the rotating shaft 51 is parallel to the axis of the conveyor shaft 43. The drive motor 52 is mounted on the conveyor frame 2 and drives the rotating shaft 51 to rotate.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the gear ring 54 is mounted on the outer wall of the tilting cylinder 42, and multiple gears 53 are mounted at intervals on the rotating shaft 51. The gears 53 and the gear ring 54 mesh in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive motor 52 drives the rotating shaft 51 to rotate. Multiple gears 53 on the rotating shaft 51 mesh with gear rings 54 on multiple tilting cylinders 42, thereby causing the tilting cylinders 42 to rotate synchronously to 180°. This causes the knife-edge bricks inside the tilting cylinders 42 to rotate 180°. Since the conveying cylinder 41 and the tilting cylinders 42 are rotatably connected, the knife-edge bricks inside the conveying cylinder 41 do not rotate. The knife-edge bricks inside the conveying cylinder 41 are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, while the knife-edge bricks inside the tilting cylinder 42 after rotation are narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. This allows the inclined surfaces of adjacent knife-edge bricks to fit tightly together, forming a seamless strip arrangement. This arrangement improves the space utilization of the knife-edge bricks during the conveying process, reduces the gaps between adjacent knife-edge bricks, and facilitates neat stacking of the knife-edge bricks on the stacking platform 1, reducing issues such as mutual compression, damage, and unstable stacking caused by improper stacking.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the end of the conveying channel 4 away from the conveyor 3 is the outlet end. Multiple conveying rollers 21 are rotatably installed on the conveying frame 2 near the outlet end of the conveying channel 4. The axial direction of the conveying rollers 21 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the conveying channel 4. The conveying rollers 21 are used to receive the knife-edge bricks conveyed from the conveying channel 4.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, after the knife-edge bricks in the flipping cylinder 42 are flipped, as the conveyor 3 continues to convey them, the knife-edge bricks in the conveyor 3 first push the knife-edge bricks in the conveying channel 4 closer to each other, so that two adjacent knife-edge bricks fit together. Then the knife-edge bricks on the conveyor 3 continue to push the knife-edge bricks in the conveying channel 4 to the conveying roller 21.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a conveying platform 6 is slidably provided on the side of the conveying roller 21 away from the conveying channel 4. The conveying platform 6 is used to receive the knife-edged bricks on the conveying roller 21 and serve as a temporary storage area. Then, the knife-edged bricks are conveyed to the stacking platform 1.

[0060] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a lifting plate 63 is provided on the conveyor frame 2 above the conveyor platform 6, and the lifting plate 63 is located near the conveyor roller 21. Two limiting plates 631 are arranged parallel to each other below the lifting plate 63, with a limiting channel 632 between the two limiting plates 631 to limit the two ends of the knife-edge brick. The surfaces of the two limiting plates 631 are perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor platform 6, so that the length direction of the limiting channel 632 is parallel to the axial direction of the conveyor channel 4. The conveyor frame 2 is provided with a linear actuator 64 to drive the lifting plate 63 to rise and fall.

[0061] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a linear driver 65 is mounted above the lifting plate 63. The output shaft of the linear driver 65 moves axially along the conveying channel 4. A push plate 66 is mounted on the output shaft of the linear driver 65, and the surface of the push plate 66 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the conveying channel 4. Figure 2 As shown, the upper end face of the conveyor roller 21 is flush with the lower end face inside the quadrilateral frame 47, which allows the knife-edge brick to move from the quadrilateral frame 47 to the conveyor roller 21. A gap is left between the quadrilateral frame 47 and the conveyor roller 21 so that the push plate 66 can be inserted into the gap and drive the knife-edge brick to move onto the conveyor platform 6.

[0062] like Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, after the knife-edged brick in the conveying channel 4 moves onto the conveying roller 21, the linear actuator 64 drives the lifting plate 63 to move upward, making the height of the limiting channel 632 greater than the height of the knife-edged brick. That is, the distance between the lower end face of the lifting plate 63 and the upper end face of the conveying platform 6 is greater than the height of the knife-edged brick, thus allowing the knife-edged brick to move within the limiting channel 632. The limiting channel 632 limits both ends of the knife-edged brick, keeping it in a set position, which helps reduce the horizontal movement of the knife-edged brick. At the same time, the linear actuator 64 drives the lifting plate 63 to move up and down, which in turn drives the push plate 66 to move up and down. This allows the push plate 66 to make way for the knife-edged brick to move onto the conveying roller 21 when it moves upward, and to come into contact with the knife-edged brick on the conveying roller 21 and move it onto the conveying platform 6 when it moves downward.

[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the linear actuator 65 drives the pusher plate 66 to move away from the conveyor roller 21. The pusher plate 66 gradually pushes the knife-edge bricks on the conveyor roller 21 onto the conveyor platform 6. The knife-edge bricks can move within the limiting channel 632 until all the knife-edge bricks in this row of flipped pieces in the conveyor channel 4 are moved onto the conveyor platform 6.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveying platform 6 includes a conveying frame 61 and a plurality of conveying rollers 62 rotatably connected to the conveying frame 61. The axial direction of the conveying rollers 62 is parallel to the axial direction of the conveying channel 4. The palletizing platform 1 is located at the end of the conveying platform 6.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor frame 2 is equipped with a screw adjustment mechanism 67 that drives the conveyor platform 6 to move closer to or further away from the palletizing platform 1. The screw adjustment mechanism 67 is a commonly used device that converts rotary motion into linear motion. Powered by a motor, the motor drives the screw 671 to rotate, and the slide table, threadedly engaged with the screw 671, can reciprocate linearly along the length of the screw 671. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail. The conveyor frame 61 of the conveyor platform 6 is connected to the slide table, and the axis of the screw 671 is perpendicular to the axis of the conveying channel 4.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, after all the knife-edged bricks in the conveying channel 4 have moved onto the conveying platform 6, the screw adjustment mechanism 67 drives the conveying platform 6 to move towards the side closer to the stacking platform 1 to a distance equal to the length of the knife-edged bricks. This row of knife-edged bricks on the conveying platform 6 moves synchronously with the conveying platform 6. At this time, the conveying channel 4 is filled with unturned knife-edged bricks. The drive component 5 drives the turning cylinder 42 to turn over. The above operation steps are repeated until the number of rows of knife-edged bricks placed on the conveying platform 6 meets the requirement of the number of rows of knife-edged bricks per layer when stacking. The screw adjustment mechanism 67 drives the conveying platform 6 to move and moves the knife-edged bricks on the conveying platform 6 synchronously to the top of the stacking platform 1.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a U-shaped shaping frame 7 is provided on the conveyor frame 2 above the conveyor platform 6. A linear actuator 71 is provided on the conveyor frame 2 to drive the shaping frame 7 to move up and down. The shaping frame 7 is also located above the palletizing platform 1, and the opening of the shaping frame 7 faces the palletizing platform 1 along the conveying direction of the conveyor platform 6. The linear actuator 71 drives the shaping frame 7 to move down, and the shaping frame 7 can initially shape the knife-edged bricks on the conveyor platform 6, so that the knife-edged bricks can fall neatly onto the palletizing platform 1.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two pairs of clamping plates 8 are slidably mounted on the conveyor frame 2 above the palletizing platform 1. The two pairs of clamping plates 8 can be sequentially arranged into a rectangle to clamp the knife-edged bricks located on the palletizing platform 1. The clamping plates 8 are located below the shaping frame 7. The conveyor frame 2 is equipped with a linear actuator 3 81 that drives the clamping plates 8 to move. In this embodiment, the linear actuator 1 65, linear actuator 2 71, linear actuator 3 81, and linear actuator 4 64 are all one of the following: a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0069] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the linear actuator 81 drives the clamping plate 8 to clamp the scissor bricks on the palletizing platform 1. Through the positioning action of the clamping plate 8, the scissor bricks on the palletizing platform 1 can be precisely adjusted to the predetermined position, so that each layer of scissor bricks can be neatly arranged. Specifically, during the palletizing process, after each layer of scissor bricks is placed, the palletizing platform 1 moves down, and the linear actuator 81 drives the clamping plate 8 to clamp the newly stacked scissor bricks on the palletizing platform 1. When stacking the upper layer of scissor bricks, the clamping plate 8 is always in a clamping state on the lower layer of scissor bricks. Since the upper layer of scissor bricks will come into contact with the lower layer of scissor bricks during the falling process, by clamping the lower layer of scissor bricks, the movement or misalignment of the lower layer of scissor bricks can be reduced, thereby increasing the stability of the entire palletizing structure.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a rubber plate 82 is installed on one side of each pair of clamping plates 8 that is close to each other. The end of the rubber plate 82 that is close to the blade brick is provided with a clamping surface 821 at an angle. The clamping surface 821 slides in cooperation with the inclined surface of the blade brick.

[0071] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, because the blade brick is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, the inclined clamping surface 821 on the rubber plate 82 can fit tightly against the inclined surface of the blade brick. This fitting method increases the contact area between the clamping plate 8 and the blade brick, which helps to improve the stability of clamping. At the same time, the inclined clamping surface 821 allows the clamping force to be distributed more evenly on the inclined surface of the blade brick, which helps to reduce the phenomenon of damage to the blade brick due to excessive local force or unstable clamping caused by uneven force. The rubber plate 82 has good elasticity and cushioning performance, which can protect the blade brick during clamping.

[0072] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a slope 611 is provided on the side of the conveying frame 61 near the palletizing platform 1. The slope 611 gradually slopes downward from the end away from the palletizing platform 1 to the end near the palletizing platform 1. When the knife-edged brick is conveyed to the position near the palletizing platform 1, the slope 611 can guide the knife-edged brick to slowly slide down under its own weight.

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the number of rows of knife-edged bricks placed on the conveying platform 6 meets the requirement of the number of rows of knife-edged bricks per layer during stacking, the screw adjustment mechanism 67 drives the conveying platform 6 to move above the stacking platform 1, and then drives the conveying platform 6 to move away from the stacking platform 1. Under the guidance of the slope 611, the knife-edged bricks fall onto the stacking platform 1.

[0074] The implementation principle of a finished refractory material conveying device in this embodiment:

[0075] The conveyor 3 transports the knife-edge bricks, and the knife-edge bricks behind push the knife-edge bricks in front to move forward, so that each conveying cylinder 41 and turning cylinder 42 in the conveying channel 4 is filled with a knife-edge brick. The drive motor 52 drives the turning cylinder 42 to rotate 180°, so that the knife-edge bricks in the turning cylinder 42 are flipped. The knife-edge bricks in the conveying cylinder 41 are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the knife-edge bricks in the turning cylinder 42 after flipping are narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. In this way, the inclined surfaces of two adjacent knife-edge bricks can fit together tightly to form a seamless strip arrangement.

[0076] After the knife-edge bricks in the flipping drum 42 are flipped, as the conveyor 3 continues to transport them, the knife-edge bricks in the conveyor 3 first push the knife-edge bricks in the conveying channel 4 closer to each other, so that two adjacent knife-edge bricks fit together. Then the knife-edge bricks on the conveyor 3 continue to push the knife-edge bricks in the conveying channel 4 to the conveying roller 21.

[0077] Linear drive 4 64 drives lifting plate 63 and push plate 66 to move back and forth, linear drive 1 65 drives push plate 66 to move back and forth, push plate 66 gradually pushes the knife-edge bricks on conveyor roller 1 21 onto conveyor platform 6, the knife-edge bricks can move within the limiting channel 632 until all the knife-edge bricks in this row after being flipped in conveyor channel 4 are moved to conveyor platform 6.

[0078] The lead screw adjusting mechanism 67 drives the conveying platform 6 to move closer to the palletizing platform 1 to a distance equal to the length of the knife-edged bricks. The row of knife-edged bricks on the conveying platform 6 moves synchronously with the conveying platform 6. As the knife-edged bricks conveyed by the conveyor 3 enter the conveying channel 4, the conveying channel 4 is filled with unturned knife-edged bricks. The driving component 5 drives the turning cylinder 42 to turn, causing the knife-edged bricks in the conveying channel 4 to turn at intervals. The above operation steps are repeated until the number of rows of knife-edged bricks placed on the conveying platform 6 meets the requirement of the number of rows of knife-edged bricks per layer when palletizing. The lead screw adjusting mechanism 67 drives the conveying platform 6 to move and move all the knife-edged bricks on the conveying platform 6 to the top of the palletizing platform 1.

[0079] Linear actuator 2 71 drives the shaping frame 7 to move downward. The shaping frame 7 can initially shape the knife-edge bricks on the conveying platform 6. The lead screw adjustment mechanism 67 drives the conveying platform 6 to move away from the stacking platform 1. Under the guidance of the slope 611, the knife-edge bricks fall onto the stacking platform 1. Linear actuator 3 81 drives the clamping plate 8 and the rubber plate 82 to move and clamp the knife-edge bricks on the stacking platform 1.

[0080] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections or detachable connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components.
