Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum ingot production, and in particular to an aluminum ingot rotary stacking and packaging machine and packaging method. Background Technology

[0002] As an important product of non-ferrous metal smelting, aluminum ingots need to be neatly stacked and bundled before leaving the factory to facilitate storage, transportation and loading and unloading.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional stacking methods often employ multi-axis robots in conjunction with grippers to sequentially pick up rows of aluminum ingots from the conveyor line and transfer them to the stacking station for layer-by-layer stacking. While this method offers a high degree of automation, the robot system is expensive, and each cycle can only transfer a single row of ingots. The overall cycle time is limited by the robot's movement speed and path, and its stacking speed sometimes fails to meet the peak output demands of the production line. Furthermore, after the aluminum ingots are stacked, they need to be bundled and packaged. Typically, at least two plastic steel straps are required to be bundled in both the horizontal and vertical directions of the ingot stack, forming a "well"-shaped reinforcement structure. Since most common packaging equipment uses a single-head design, only one plastic steel strap can be bundled per work cycle. Therefore, to complete the "well"-shaped packaging of an aluminum ingot stack, at least four bundling operations are required, and manual or auxiliary equipment may be needed to adjust the orientation of the ingot stack. This packaging process is time-consuming, with insufficient process coordination, severely impacting overall packaging efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need to research an aluminum ingot rotary stacking and packaging machine and method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Then the grabbing mechanism grabs a row of aluminum ingots on the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor, and moves upward to reset through the second height adjustment mechanism. Then the grabbing mechanism is horizontally rotated 180° through the second rotating mechanism, so that one grabbing mechanism moves to the top of the first height adjustment mechanism and the other grabbing mechanism is above the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor.

Step seven, the two packaging mechanisms 1 simultaneously perform a bundling operation on the aluminum ingot pile on the first height adjustment mechanism 4; after completing the bundling of the aluminum ingot pile, the first rotating mechanism 3 drives the first height adjustment mechanism 4 to rotate horizontally by 90°, and then the two packaging mechanisms 1 simultaneously perform a second bundling operation on the aluminum ingot pile on the first height adjustment mechanism 4, completing the packaging operation of the aluminum ingot pile.

In use, the two aluminum ingots are first placed in the accommodating grooves 403, and the two ends of any one of the aluminum ingots are respectively placed in the two accommodating grooves 403 on the same end of the two load carrying strips 402, and the aluminum ingot is in sliding fit with the accommodating groove 403, and the upper part of the aluminum ingot protrudes from the accommodating groove 403 (in order to facilitate the arrow assembly 104 to pass through from below the aluminum ingot), the two aluminum ingots are used as the bottom support of the aluminum ingot stack, and the length direction of the row of aluminum ingots close to the two aluminum ingots is perpendicular to the length direction of the two aluminum ingots, then when each row of aluminum ingots is placed, the rotating disc 302 is horizontally rotated by 90° by the second motor 303 through the second gear 304 and the third gear 305, so that the length directions of the adjacent two rows of aluminum ingots are perpendicular, and when each row of aluminum ingots is placed, the aluminum ingots are moved downward by a distance consistent with the thickness of the aluminum ingot by the scissor lift 401, so as to ensure the stacking effect of the aluminum ingot and avoid interference between the grabbing mechanism 7 and the aluminum ingot stack.

[0034] Example Four: Based on example three, as Figures 7-9As shown, in order to realize the alternate grabbing of aluminum ingots and shorten the stacking time of aluminum ingots, the second rotating mechanism 5 is designed to include a transmission member 501; the transmission member 501 is a conventional worm gear reducer in the art; the input end of the transmission member 501 is coaxially fixed on the output shaft of a third motor 502; the output end of the transmission member 501 is vertically fixed with a rotating shaft 503; the rotating shaft 503 is arranged above the transmission member 501; the second height adjusting mechanism 6 includes a transmission plate 601 which is horizontally bolted on the upper end of the rotating shaft 503; a pair of first air cylinders 602 are vertically bolted in parallel on the upper surface of the transmission plate 601; the output ends of the two first air cylinders 602 are slidably penetrated through the transmission plate 601 and connected through a horizontally arranged lifting plate 603; the rotating shaft 503 is slidably inserted into the lifting plate 603; a pair of mounting rods 604 are horizontally bolted in parallel on the lower surface of the lifting plate 603; the grabbing mechanism 7 includes a positioning plate 701 and a pair of mounting plates 702 which are horizontally arranged in parallel below the positioning plate 701; the opposite sides of the positioning plate 701 are vertically welded with connecting plates 703, and the opposite sides of any mounting plate 702 are respectively welded on the lower edges of the two connecting plates 703; one connecting plate 703 is bolted on the same end of the two mounting rods 604; a clamping assembly 704 is arranged below the positioning plate 701; the clamping assembly 704 is connected to the two mounting plates 702; the opposite inner edges of the two mounting plates 702 are vertically bolted with second air cylinders 705; the output ends of the two second air cylinders 705 are horizontally bolted with limiting strips 706 which are perpendicular to the mounting rods 604.In use, the third motor 502 drives the rotating shaft 503 to rotate through the transmission member 501, so that one clamping assembly 704 is above the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor, and the other clamping assembly 704 is above the first height adjustment mechanism 4.

Then the first cylinder 602 drives the lifting plate 603 and the mounting rod 604 to drive the clamping assembly 704 to move upward to reset. Then the third motor 502 drives the rotating shaft 503 to rotate through the transmission member 501, so that one clamping assembly 704 is above the first height adjustment mechanism 4, and the other clamping assembly 704 is above the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor. Then the first cylinder 602 drives the lifting plate 603 and the mounting rod 604 to drive the clamping assembly 704 to move downward. Then one clamping assembly 704 places the aluminum ingots thereon on the two aluminum ingots on the second height adjustment mechanism 6 (the second cylinder 705 drives the limiting plate strip 706 to reset upward corresponding to the clamping assembly 704), and the other clamping assembly 704 grabs a row of aluminum ingots on the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor (the second cylinder 705 drives the limiting plate strip 706 to move downward to position the aluminum ingots).

10. A packing method for an aluminum ingot rotary stacking packing machine as described in claim 1, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: First, set the second rotation mechanism (5) between the displacement mechanism (2) and the aluminum ingot conveyor, and make the two gripping mechanisms (7) directly above the first height adjustment mechanism (4) or the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor. Then, adjust the distance between the top of the first height adjustment mechanism (4) and the first rotation mechanism (3) to the maximum, and then adjust the distance between the two packaging mechanisms (1) to the maximum through the displacement mechanism (2). Step 2: First, place a pair of aluminum ingots side by side horizontally on the top of the second height adjustment mechanism (6). Then, adjust the distance between the gripping mechanism (7) and the second rotation mechanism (5) to the maximum through the second height adjustment mechanism (6). Then, drive the second height adjustment mechanism (6) to rotate horizontally through the second rotation mechanism (5), so that one gripping mechanism (7) is directly above the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor, and the other gripping mechanism (7) is directly above the first height adjustment mechanism (4). Step 3: The second height adjustment mechanism (6) drives the gripping mechanism (7) to move downward, causing one gripping mechanism (7) to approach the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor and the other gripping mechanism (7) to approach the top of the first height adjustment mechanism (4). Then, one gripping mechanism (7) grabs a row of aluminum ingots on the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor. The second height adjustment mechanism (6) drives the gripping mechanism (7) to move upward to reset. Then, the second rotation mechanism (5) drives the gripping mechanism (7) to rotate horizontally by 180°, causing one gripping mechanism (7) to move to the top of the first height adjustment mechanism (4) and the other gripping mechanism (7) to be directly above the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor. Then, the second height adjustment mechanism (6) drives the gripping mechanism (7) to move downward. Then, one gripping mechanism (7) places the aluminum ingot on it onto the two aluminum ingots on the second height adjustment mechanism (6), while the other gripping mechanism (7) grabs a row of aluminum ingots on the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor. Step 4: The second height adjustment mechanism (6) drives the gripping mechanism (7) to move upward to reset, and then the second rotation mechanism (5) drives the gripping mechanism (7) to rotate horizontally by 180°. At the same time, the first rotation mechanism (3) drives the first height adjustment mechanism (4) to rotate horizontally by 90°. The first height adjustment mechanism (4) drives the aluminum ingot on it to move downward by a distance equal to the thickness of the aluminum ingot. Then the second height adjustment mechanism (6) drives the gripping mechanism (7) to move downward. Then another gripping mechanism (7) places the aluminum ingot on it onto the two aluminum ingots on the second height adjustment mechanism (6). At the same time, one gripping mechanism (7) grabs a row of aluminum ingots on the output end of the aluminum ingot conveyor. Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 to stack the aluminum ingots; Step 6: After the aluminum ingots are stacked, the two gripping mechanisms (7) are driven to rotate horizontally to one side of the displacement mechanism (2) by the second rotation mechanism (5). Then, the two packing mechanisms (1) are driven to move in close proximity by the displacement mechanism (2), so that the two packing mechanisms (1) move to the packing position of the aluminum ingot stack. Then, the aluminum ingot stack on it is driven to move upward by the first height adjustment mechanism (4), so that the position of the aluminum ingot stack corresponds to the packing position of the packing mechanism (1) of the aluminum ingot stack. Step 7: The aluminum ingot stack on the first height adjustment mechanism (4) is bundled once by the two packaging mechanisms (1); after the first bundling of the aluminum ingot stack is completed, the first height adjustment mechanism (4) is rotated horizontally by the first rotation mechanism (3) by 90°, and then the aluminum ingot stack on the first height adjustment mechanism (4) is bundled a second time by the two packaging mechanisms (1) to complete the packaging operation of the aluminum ingot stack.
