Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to agricultural product processing machinery, specifically to a wet rubber cart transfer robot in a natural rubber drying production line. Background Technology

[0002] Natural rubber refers to the elastic solid formed from natural latex collected from the Brazilian rubber tree through processes such as coagulation and drying, thus creating standard natural rubber. Natural rubber possesses excellent resilience, insulation, water resistance, and plasticity. After proper processing, it also exhibits oil and acid resistance, making it widely used in production and daily life. Rubber tree cultivation in China is mainly concentrated in Hainan and Yunnan provinces. Due to Hainan's unique geographical and climatic conditions, it has become an important rubber planting and production base in China, and natural rubber processing has become one of the region's characteristic industries.

[0003] For many years, researchers both domestically and internationally have focused extensively on the drying process of natural rubber, but research on automated equipment for the primary processing production line of standard natural rubber is scarce. Currently, natural rubber drying production is labor-intensive, with low levels of automation, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency for workers. In the process of pushing the wet rubber carts into the drying chamber after loading, the entire process relies on manual labor. First, the loaded wet rubber carts are pushed from the loading guide rail to the transfer car, then the transfer car is pushed manually to the guide rail for entering the drying chamber, and finally, the wet rubber carts on the transfer car are pushed to the guide rail at the entrance of the drying chamber. This is extremely labor-intensive, frequently leading to occupational diseases such as lumbar muscle strain among workers, seriously threatening their health. Therefore, to reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve enterprise production efficiency, it is urgent to research a robot for transferring wet rubber carts in a natural rubber drying production line to achieve full automation of the process of pushing the loaded wet rubber carts into the drying chamber. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention is a safe, efficient, and fully automated robot for transferring wet rubber carts in a natural rubber drying production line. This robot automates the process of moving the wet rubber carts into the drying chamber after loading, transforming it from manual to automatic operation. It not only achieves a high degree of automation in moving the carts into the drying chamber but also significantly reduces labor costs, ensures worker safety, improves production efficiency, and ultimately enhances the economic benefits of natural rubber primary processing enterprises.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: a frame is provided, a horizontal guide rail is provided on the frame, a wet glue cart transfer robot is provided on the horizontal guide rail, a robotic arm lifting motor is provided on the wet glue cart transfer robot, the robotic arm lifting motor is connected to a reducer, a robotic arm is also provided on the wet glue cart transfer robot, a robotic hand is provided below the robotic arm, and a robotic finger and a drive cylinder are provided on the robotic hand.

[0006] Working Process: The operator manually pushes the loaded wet glue cart along the loading cart guide rails to directly beneath the two horizontal guide rails. When the sensor detects that there is no wet glue cart waiting to enter the drying chamber at the wet glue cart lowering station, and a loaded wet glue cart is being pushed towards the two horizontal guide rails, the drive motor starts. The drive wheels then transport the wet glue cart moving robot along the horizontal guide rails to a position directly beneath the loaded wet glue cart and above it. After positioning, the drive motor stops, and the robotic arm lifting motor starts. Through the reducer, drive shaft, and commutator, the four robotic arms drive the robotic hands to descend. When the robotic hands are close to the upper surface of the loaded wet glue cart, the robotic arm lifting motor stops, and the drive cylinder piston rod retracts, causing the four robotic fingers to hook onto the bottom plate of the loaded wet glue cart. Then, the robotic arm lifting motor reverses, driving the four robotic arms to rise through the reducer, drive shaft, and commutator, and subsequently, the four robotic fingers lift the loaded wet glue cart. Once the rollers of the loaded wet glue cart are completely disengaged from the loading cart guide rail, the robotic arm lifting motor stops, and the loaded wet glue cart stops rising. At this point, the drive motor reverses, using the drive wheels to transport the wet glue cart transfer robot along the horizontal guide rail to directly above the wet glue cart lowering station. After positioning, the drive motor stops, and the robotic arm lifting motor starts, using a reducer, drive shaft, and commutator to drive the four robotic arms to lower the robotic hands until the rollers of the loaded wet glue cart are completely on the surface of the drying chamber guide rail. Then, the robotic arm lifting motor stops, and the drive cylinder piston rod extends, causing the four robotic fingers to open and separate from the bottom plate of the loaded wet glue cart. Then, the robotic arm lifting motor reverses, using a reducer, drive shaft, and commutator to drive the four robotic arms to rise back to their original position. After that, the robotic arm lifting motor stops, and the drive motor rotates forward, using the drive wheels to transport the wet glue cart transfer robot along the horizontal guide rail to its original position. After positioning, the drive motor stops, waiting to enter the next work cycle. The wet rubber carts, positioned on the drying box guide rails and awaiting entry into the drying box, will be automatically pushed into the drying box entrance by a pusher at regular intervals according to the natural rubber drying process requirements.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are that it transforms the process of pushing the wet rubber cart into the drying box after loading into the natural rubber drying production line from manual operation to fully automatic operation, realizing the automation of the production process, laying the foundation for the realization of full automation of the natural rubber drying production line, saving labor costs, and improving the economic benefits of natural rubber primary processing enterprises.

[0010] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: a frame (1) is provided, a horizontal guide rail (2) is provided on the frame (1), a wet glue cart transfer robot (3) is provided on the horizontal guide rail (2), a mechanical arm lifting motor (8) is provided on the wet glue cart transfer robot (3), the mechanical arm lifting motor (8) is connected to the reducer (7), a mechanical arm (6) is also provided on the wet glue cart transfer robot (3), a mechanical hand (15) is provided under the mechanical arm (6), and a mechanical finger (17) and a drive cylinder (16) are provided on the mechanical hand (15).

[0011] Working process: The manual pushes the loaded wet glue cart (13) along the loading glue cart guide rail (14) to the bottom of the two horizontal guide rails (2). When the sensor detects that there is no wet glue cart (21) waiting to enter the drying box at the wet glue cart lowering station (18), and a loaded wet glue cart (13) is pushed over the bottom of the two horizontal guide rails (2), the drive motor (12) starts and the wet glue cart transfer robot (3) is transported along the horizontal guide rail (2) to the top of the loaded wet glue cart (13) located directly below the two horizontal guide rails (2) via the drive wheel (11). After positioning, the drive motor (12) stops, the robotic arm lifting motor (8) starts, and the robot moves through the reducer. (7) The drive shaft (9) and commutator (10) drive the four robotic arms (6) to lower the robotic hands (15). When the robotic hands (15) are close to the upper surface of the wet glue cart (13) after loading, the robotic arm lifting motor (8) stops, and the piston rod of the drive cylinder (16) retracts, so that the four robotic fingers (17) hook onto the bottom plate of the wet glue cart (13) after loading. Then the robotic arm lifting motor (8) reverses, and through the reducer (7), drive shaft (9) and commutator (10), drives the four robotic arms (6) to raise the robotic hands (15), and then through the four robotic fingers (17), drives the wet glue cart (13) after loading to rise. When the rollers of the loaded wet glue cart (13) are completely disengaged from the loading glue cart guide rail (14), the robotic arm lifting motor (8) stops rotating, and the loaded wet glue cart (13) stops rising. At this time, the drive motor (12) reverses and uses the drive wheel (11) to transport the wet glue cart transfer robot (3) along the horizontal guide rail (2) directly above the wet glue cart lowering station (18). After positioning, the drive motor (12) stops, and the robotic arm lifting motor (8) starts. Through the reducer (7), drive shaft (9), and commutator (10), the four robotic arms (6) drive the robotic hands (15) to descend until the rollers of the loaded wet glue cart (13) completely land in the drying chamber. After the guide rail (19) is on the surface, the robotic arm lifting motor (8) stops, the piston rod of the drive cylinder (16) is pushed out, causing the four robotic fingers (17) to open and separate from the bottom plate of the wet rubber cart (13) after loading. Then the robotic arm lifting motor (8) reverses, and through the reducer (7), drive shaft (9) and commutator (10), drives the four robotic arms (6) to drive the robotic hands (15) to rise and return to their original positions. After that, the robotic arm lifting motor (8) stops, the drive motor (12) drives forward, and through the drive wheel (11) transports the wet rubber cart transfer robot (3) along the horizontal guide rail (2) to its original position. After that, the drive motor (12) stops and waits to enter the next work cycle. The wet rubber cart (21) waiting to enter the drying box on the drying box guide rail (19) will be automatically pushed into the drying box inlet (4) by the pusher (20) according to the process requirements of natural rubber drying and enter the drying box (5) for drying.
