TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of aerated concrete equipment, and more particularly to a steel drill storage and delivery device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Aerated concrete board is a new type of wall material with the properties of light weight, heat preservation, heat insulation, and fire resistance. Aerated concrete board is a multi-porous concrete formed board (containing treated steel reinforcement) made of fly ash (or silica sand), cement, lime, and other main raw materials, and is cured by high-pressure steam. Aerated concrete board is a new type of building material with superior performance as a wall enclosure material.
[0003] Currently, in the production process of autoclaved aerated concrete board, metal mesh is placed as an internal keel structure inside the aerated concrete. In the production process of aerated board, plastic buckles are fixed on steel drills, and the mesh is fixed on the plastic buckles. The mesh is fixed in the mold cavity by a plurality of steel drills and saddles. However, due to the changing needs of the market for the length and thickness of the board, the position of the steel drill needs to be adjusted frequently, and the number of steel drills needs to be adjusted frequently in the actual production process. Then the net cage is hung on the steel drill. The traditional process is completed by manual labor. Thus, the entire steel drill adjustment process is tedious, labor-intensive, prone to errors, and affects the entire production rhythm, severely restricting the production efficiency of aerated board.
[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the applicant disclosed an automatic arrangement system of saddle and steel drill and its use method in the patent CN115890904A. The application includes a saddle seat conveyor, which drives the saddle seat to move along the saddle seat transmission direction. It also includes a steel drill saddle collecting machine, a steel drill arranging machine, and a steel drill placing machine arranged in sequence along the saddle seat transmission direction. The steel drill saddle collecting machine is used to adjust the position of the saddle on the saddle seat and collect the steel drill. The collected steel drill is transported to the steel drill arranging machine for storage and arrangement. The arranged steel drill is transported to the steel drill placing machine, and the steel drill is placed into each saddle of the saddle seat through the steel drill placing machine.
[0005] The above-mentioned application can timely adjust the number and position of the saddle and the steel drill according to the changes in the length and thickness of the board, realize the automatic arrangement of the saddle and the steel drill, meet the automation needs of the production line, and greatly improve the production efficiency. In the application, the mechanical hand directly grabs the steel drill in the channel during the steel drill delivery process. However, in actual use, it is found that the mechanical hand is prone to interference with the saddle seat when clamping the steel drill, which affects the grabbing effect. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to further understand the content of the present application, the present application will be described in detail in conjunction with the drawings.
[0027] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0028] As described in the background, in general, the steel drill 600 has a T-shaped structure as a whole, i.e. the steel drill head is arranged transversely at the upper end of the steel drill 600. When the steel drill 600 is located in the storage channel 500, the lower surface of the steel drill head is in contact with the platforms on both sides of the storage channel 500 to achieve suspension support of the steel drill 600. However, due to the limited height of the steel drill head itself, when the manipulator clamps the steel drill head, it should be clamped as much as possible to the lower part of the steel drill head to ensure the stability of the clamping. This will make the manipulator easily collide with the platform, thereby affecting the clamping effect.
[0029] Therefore, the steel drill storage and delivery device is provided to avoid the collision and interference between the mechanical arm and the platform and ensure the stability of the steel drill 600 grabbing by the mechanical arm.
[0030] The application will be further described below in combination with specific embodiments.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 The steel drill storage and delivery device of the embodiment includes a storage mechanism 100, a pushing mechanism 200 and a pushing mechanism 300. The storage mechanism 100 is provided with a storage channel 500 for placing the steel drill 600 to complete the storage of the steel drill 600. Meanwhile, the storage channel 500 is divided into an upper drill station 510 and a lower drill station 520 along the conveying direction thereof.
[0032] The pushing mechanism 200 is arranged on the storage mechanism 100 and used to drive the steel drill 600 in the storage channel 500 to move from the upper drill station 510 to the lower drill station 520 to prepare for the later delivery operation of the steel drill 600. The pushing mechanism 300 is located below the storage mechanism 100 and used to push up the steel drill 600 on the lower drill station 520 to facilitate the later clamping and delivery operation of the steel drill 600.
[0033] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 The pushing mechanism 300 includes a pushing frame 310 and a lifting cylinder 320. The lifting cylinder 320 is arranged on the pushing frame 310 and has a vertical upward pushing direction.
[0034] The output end of the lifting cylinder 320 is provided with a steel drill fixing seat 330, and the steel drill fixing seat 330 is provided with an accommodating groove. When the lifting cylinder 320 drives the steel drill fixing seat 330 to move upward, the lower end of the steel drill 600 can be clamped into the accommodating groove, thereby driving the steel drill 600 to move upward and making the upper end of the steel drill 600 separate from the storage mechanism 100.
[0035] The steel drill storage and delivery device of the embodiment is provided with the storage channel 500 on the storage mechanism 100, which can be used to complete the storage operation of the steel drill 600. The pushing mechanism 200 can drive the steel drill 600 in the storage channel 500 to move from the upper drill station 510 to the lower drill station 520 to lay a foundation for the delivery operation of the steel drill 600. Meanwhile, in the delivery operation of the steel drill 600, the pushing mechanism 300 is used to push up the steel drill 600 from the bottom. The upper end of the steel drill 600 separates from the storage mechanism 100 and forms a certain clamping space with the top of the storage mechanism 100, thereby effectively preventing the interference between the mechanical arm and the storage mechanism 100 when the mechanical arm clamps the upper end of the steel drill 600 to ensure the stability of the clamping.
[0036] As shown in Figure 3 ,Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, multiple storage channels 500 are arranged in parallel. A lifting cylinder 320 is mounted on a mounting plate 340, which is slidably mounted on a pushing frame 310 via a lateral guide unit 350. Simultaneously, the mounting plate 340 is connected to a lateral movement force unit 360 that drives it to move along the distribution direction of the multiple storage channels 500; that is, the sliding direction of the mounting plate 340 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the storage channels 500.
[0037] It is worth mentioning that the aforementioned lateral guide unit 350 and lateral movement force unit 360 can both adopt existing technologies, and no specific limitations are made here.
[0038] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the lateral movement force unit 360 and the lateral guide unit 350, the jacking mechanism 300 can switch back and forth between different storage channels 500 to complete the jacking operation of the steel rod 600 in different storage channels 500.
[0039] As one embodiment of the rod holder 330, multiple rod holders 330 are arranged along the extension direction of the storage channel 500, and each rod holder 330 has a receiving groove so that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the rod holder 330 and the rod 600. That is, each rod 600 is supported by its own rod holder 330.
[0040] Of course, in this one-to-one supporting structure, each steel rod holder 330 needs to be connected to its own lifting cylinder 320. That is, the mounting plate 340 needs to be equipped with multiple lifting cylinders 320, and the multiple lifting cylinders 320 extend in the same direction as the storage channel 500. The advantage of this structure is that since each steel rod holder 330 is controlled individually, the number of steel rods 600 lifted at one time can be selected according to the actual needs of the steel rods 600.
[0041] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the storage mechanism 100 includes a storage rack 110, on which a plurality of mounting beams 120 are provided, and the aforementioned storage channel 500 is formed between adjacent mounting beams 120.
[0042] Preferably, the multiple storage channels 500 are divided into left and right ( ) along their distribution direction. Figure 3 The two areas (above and below the dotted line) are used for storing steel rods 600. When the left channel is used to store steel rods 600, the right channel can distribute them. When the right channel runs out of steel rods 600, it is used as a storage channel again, and the left channel is used for distribution. This alternating storage and distribution of steel rods 600 through the two storage channels avoids waiting time and improves work efficiency.
[0043] Further, in order to prevent the wear of the mounting beam 120 during the translation of the steel drill 600. In the embodiment, the mounting beam 120 is provided with wear-resistant plates 130; that is, the above-mentioned storage channel 500 is also formed between two adjacent wear-resistant plates 130.
[0044] Meanwhile, the mounting beam 120 is provided with a limiting block 140 at the end thereof. That is, the limiting block 140 is provided at the end of the drill lowering station 520. On the one hand, the limiting block 140 is used for positioning the end position of the steel drill 600 on the drill lowering station 520; on the other hand, the limiting block 140 can prevent the steel drill 600 from leaving the storage channel 500.
[0045] Of course, in order to facilitate the pushing operation of the steel drill 600 in each area, the pushing mechanism 200 is provided in both areas.
[0046] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, as an embodiment of the pushing mechanism 200, the pushing mechanism 200 comprises a pushing frame 210 and a pushing cylinder 220 provided on the pushing frame 210. The pushing frame 210 is slidably arranged on the storage rack 110 through a longitudinal guide unit 230, the sliding direction of the pushing frame 210 is consistent with the extension direction of the storage channel 500, and the pushing frame 210 is connected with a longitudinal power unit 240.
[0047] Meanwhile, a plurality of pushing cylinders 220 are arranged on the pushing frame 210 in the direction along the storage channel 500, and each pushing cylinder 220 corresponds to one storage channel 500.
[0048] Specifically, the longitudinal guide unit 230 is a guide rail and sliding block cooperation structure, which comprises a first guide rail 231 and a first sliding block 232 that are in clamping cooperation with each other. The first guide rail 231 is arranged at a corresponding position on the storage rack 110, and the extension direction of the first guide rail 231 is consistent with the extension direction of the storage channel 500. The first sliding block 232 is arranged at the bottom of the pushing frame 210.
[0049] The longitudinal power unit 240 is a rack and pinion linear module, which comprises a first rack 241 and a first pinion 242 that are in meshing cooperation with each other. The first rack 241 is arranged at a corresponding position on the storage rack 110, and the extension direction of the first rack 241 is consistent with the extension direction of the storage channel 500. The first pinion 242 is arranged on both sides of the pushing frame 210, and the first pinion 242 is connected with a driving motor.
[0050] It is not difficult to understand that the transverse guide unit 350 can adopt the above-mentioned guide rail and sliding block cooperation structure, and the transverse power unit 360 can adopt the above-mentioned rack and pinion linear module, which will not be introduced in detail here.
[0051] Reference Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the lower part of the storage mechanism 100 is provided with a anti-shaking mechanism 400 for limiting the radial position of the lifted steel drill 600.
[0052] Specifically, referring to Figure 7 As shown in the drawings, the anti-shaking mechanism 400 includes oppositely arranged clamping plates 410, and the opposite sides of the clamping plates 410 are provided with clamping grooves 411. Of course, the clamping plates 410 need to be connected with respective clamping cylinders 420, which can be arranged below the storage rack 110.
[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lower part of each lower drill station 520 is provided with an anti-shaking mechanism 400. At the same time, the clamping grooves 411 are in a V-shaped structure as a whole, so as to facilitate clamping and limiting the steel drill 600 with different diameters. It should be noted that the clamping here does not need to clamp the steel drill 600, but only needs to ensure that the steel drill 600 does not fall over.
[0054] In this embodiment, through the arrangement of the anti-shaking mechanism 400, before the steel drill 600 is lifted by the pushing mechanism 300, the steel drill 600 can be first limited in the radial direction by the clamping plates 410, so as to prevent the steel drill 600 from shaking or even falling over after being lifted, which affects the later clamping operation.
[0055] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the upper drill station 510 is provided with a first detection switch K1, and the lower drill station 520 is provided with a second detection switch K2 and a third detection switch K3. Among them, the first detection switch K1 is used to monitor the storage state of the steel drill 600 on the upper drill station 510, so as to determine whether the upper drill station 510 can continue to input new steel drills 600.
[0056] The third detection switch K3 is arranged at the end of the lower drill station 520, and is used to detect whether there is a steel drill in the lower drill station 520; at the same time, the end position of the steel drill 600 is confirmed, so as to ensure that the steel drill 600 at the last end of the lower drill station 520 can correspond to the steel drill fixing seat 330 at the last end of the lower pushing mechanism 300.
[0057] The second detection switch K2 is located between the third detection switch K3 and the first detection switch K1, and is used to detect the number of steel drills 600 on the lower drill station 520 on the basis of the lower drill station 520 having steel drills 600, so as to ensure that the steel drills 600 on the lower drill station 520 can meet the maximum number of steel drills 600 that can be pushed by the pushing mechanism 300 at a time.
[0058] Further, the steel drill bit storage and delivery device in the embodiment is designed in such a way that the number of steel drill bits 600 delivered to the upper drill bit station 510 at a time is determined by the previous process, that is, the number of steel drill bits 600 delivered at a time is uncertain. In actual production, the number of steel drill bits 600 delivered at a time can be 5, 6, 8, or at most 12.
[0059] To this end, in the embodiment, the distance L1 between the first detection switch K1 and the starting point of the upper drill bit station 510 is not less than the length of N steel drill bits 600 arranged in sequence, wherein N is the maximum number of steel drill bits 600 delivered to the upper drill bit station 510 at a time. In this way, when the first detection switch K1 does not detect the steel drill bits 600, it indicates that the upper drill bit station 510 has space for loading and can accommodate the maximum number of steel drill bits 600 delivered at a time.
[0060] Similarly, since the number of steel drill bits 600 pushed up by the pushing mechanism 300 at a time is determined by the previous process, that is, the number of steel drill bits 600 pushed up at a time is also uncertain. Therefore, in the embodiment, the distance L2 between the second detection switch K2 and the third detection switch K3 is not less than the length of M steel drill bits 600 arranged in sequence, wherein M is the maximum number of steel drill bits 600 pushed up by the pushing mechanism 300 at a time, that is, the number of steel drill bit fixing seats 330 on the pushing mechanism 300.
[0061] In this way, when the third detection switch K3 detects the steel drill bits 600, it indicates that the steel drill bits 600 have been stored on the lower drill bit station 520 and are located at the end position. When the second detection switch K2 detects the steel drill bits 600, it indicates that the steel drill bits 600 are on the lower drill bit station 520 and meet the maximum number of steel drill bits 600 pushed up by the pushing mechanism 300 at a time.
[0062] That is, in the embodiment, although the actual number of steel drill bits 600 delivered at a time and the actual number of steel drill bits 600 pushed up at a time are uncertain, it is necessary to ensure that the corresponding station can meet the operation demand when the maximum number is reached.
[0063] In other embodiments, the storage channel 500 is divided into two sections along its extension direction, namely a front section Q1 and a rear section Q2, and the pushing mechanism 200 is arranged on both sections.
[0064] Of course, in order to ensure the smoothness of the entire storage channel 500, the limiting block 140 can only be arranged at the end of the rear section Q2, and the limiting block 140 cannot be arranged at the end of the front section Q1. At this time, the pushing mechanism 200 on the rear section Q2 can be moved to the end of the front section Q1 to serve as the limiting block 140 of the front section Q1.
[0065] Similarly, the rear section Q2 is also provided with three detection switches, which are the fourth detection switch K4, the sixth detection switch K6 and the fifth detection switch K5 in sequence, and the three detection switches have the same function as the three detection switches in the front section Q1. Meanwhile, the distance L4 between the sixth detection switch K6 and the fifth detection switch K5 is also not less than the length of the M steel drills 600 arranged in sequence.
[0066] The difference is that the pushing cylinder 220 of the pushing mechanism 200 pushes from the side of the steel drill 600. That is, the pushing cylinder 220 moves to the corresponding position of the steel drill 600, and then the output end is extended; at this time, the output end is just located at the front side of the steel drill 600 to be pushed, and then the pushing cylinder 220 is driven by the pushing mechanism 200 to translate, thereby realizing the pushing of the steel drill 600.
[0067] As can be seen from the above pushing process, before the output end of the pushing cylinder 220 is extended, it is necessary to ensure that there is no steel drill 600 below. Otherwise, when the output end is extended, it will collide with the steel drill 600, and the pushing of the steel drill 600 cannot be realized. Therefore, in the embodiment, the distance L3 between the fourth detection switch K4 and the third detection switch K3 needs to be not less than the length of the N+1 steel drills 600 arranged in sequence.
[0068] That is, when the fourth detection switch K4 does not detect the steel drill 600, but there is only one steel drill 600 away from the fourth detection switch K4, the next time the number of steel drills 600 pushed in continues to be the maximum number N. At this time, there is at least one space for the steel drill 600 in front of the upper drill station 510, and the space is just suitable for the output end of the pushing cylinder 220 to extend into.
[0069] The working process of the steel drill storage and delivery device in the embodiment is as follows: including, the steel drill storage action: The steel drill 600 is conveyed to the upper drill station 510 of the front section Q1, and the pushing mechanism 200 of the front section Q1 pushes the steel drill 600 to the upper drill station 510 of the rear section Q2; Then, the following actions are performed on the rear section Q2, The pushing mechanism 200 of the rear section Q2 pushes the steel drill 600 to the lower drill station 520 of the rear section Q2; when the fifth detection switch K5 and the sixth detection switch K6 both detect that the lower drill station 520 of the rear section Q2 has the steel drill 600, it means that the lower drill station 520 already has the steel drill, and it meets the requirement of single-time full pushing of the jacking mechanism 300; Subsequently, when the fourth detection switch K4 detects the steel drill 600, the steel drill 600 is stopped from being fed to the upper drill station 510 of the rear section Q2; at this time, the rear section Q2 is full of the steel drills 600; it is to be noted that at this time, the upper drill station 510 can still have space, but the space cannot accommodate the next steel drill 600 to be fed.
[0070] Then, the pushing mechanism 200 of the rear section Q2 moves to the end of the lower drill station 520 of the front section Q1 and stops, as the positioning basis of the lower drill station 520 of the front section Q1; Next, the front section Q1 performs the following actions: The steel drill 600 continues to be fed to the upper drill station 510 of the front section Q1, and the pushing mechanism 200 of the front section Q1 feeds the steel drill 600 to the lower drill station 520 of the front section Q1; when the third detection switch K3 and the second detection switch K2 both detect that the lower drill station 520 has the steel drill 600, it means that the lower drill station 520 has the steel drill 600, and meets the requirement of the single full pushing of the pushing mechanism 300; Subsequently, when the first detection switch K1 detects the steel drill 600, the steel drill 600 is stopped from being fed to the upper drill station 510 of the front section Q1; at this time, the front section Q1 is full of the steel drills 600; Until all the storage channels 500 are full of the steel drills 600, the storage of the steel drills 600 is completed.
[0071] Steel drill dispensing actions: When the fifth detection switch K5 and the sixth detection switch K6 both detect that the lower drill station 520 of the rear section Q2 has the steel drill 600, the lower pushing mechanism 300 pushes up the steel drill 600 according to the actual required number; After the pushed-up steel drill 600 is transferred, the pushing mechanism 200 of the rear section Q2 continues to feed the steel drill 600 remaining in the rear section Q2 to the lower drill station 520, and the fifth detection switch K5 and the sixth detection switch K6 monitor the position and number of the steel drill 600 on the lower drill station 520 in real time to meet the requirement of the single full pushing of the pushing mechanism 300; When the fifth detection switch K5 and the sixth detection switch K6 cannot both detect the steel drill 600 after the pushing mechanism 200 completes a pushing action, it means that the steel drill 600 on the lower drill station 520 cannot meet the requirement of the single full pushing of the pushing mechanism 300; at this time, the steel drill dispensing action of the rear section Q2 is completed; The steel drill dispensing action of the front section Q1 is synchronously performed according to the above steps.
[0072] The above describes the present application and its embodiments in a schematic manner, and the description is not restrictive, and the embodiments shown in the drawings are only one of the embodiments of the present application, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by the above, without departing from the spirit of the present application, similar structural modes and embodiments can be designed without creativity, and all of them shall belong to the protection scope of the present application.
