TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of casting processing, in particular to a transfer equipment for special-shaped castings in a production line. BACKGROUND
[0002] A casting is a metal formed object obtained by various casting methods, that is, a certain shaped, sized and performanced object obtained by pouring, injecting, sucking or other casting methods after cooling after pouring liquid metal prepared by smelting into a pre-prepared casting mold, and subsequent processing means such as polishing. A special-shaped casting is a kind of casting, which is a kind of part that has complex shape, irregularity, and has features such as curved surface, thin wall, multi-hole, internal cavity or complex external shape, which cannot be economically and efficiently formed as a whole by simple mechanical processing methods (such as turning, milling, planing, grinding), and must be formed as a whole by casting process at one time.
[0003] Automobile knuckles belong to a kind of special-shaped castings. In the manufacturing line of such special-shaped, high-value safety castings as automobile knuckles, the transfer between various discrete processes (casting, cleaning, heat treatment, machining, detection) is an indispensable link. At present, special-shaped castings are generally operated by manual operation or rigid automatic equipment: manual operation, that is, the operator uses a crane, a forklift or a trolley, manually hooks or carries a frame or a tray to realize the transfer of the workpiece between different stations, and the loading and unloading and positioning of the workpiece are completely dependent on manual operation; rigid automatic equipment operation, that is, a special end gripper (gripper) and a fixed track are designed for a single model of knuckle by using a special mechanical hand and a truss mechanical hand, to realize the rapid grabbing and placing between two points, the workpiece is carried on a unified tray or tooling plate, and is conveyed on a fixed line. A special rigid positioning and jacking mechanism is provided at a specific station for precise positioning to be grabbed by a loading and unloading robot or equipment.
[0004] However, manual operation is low in efficiency, high in labor intensity, has safety hazards, and personnel costs are increasing; the special mechanical hand and the customized conveying line tooling of rigid automatic equipment operation are "tailored" for a single product. When the production line needs to produce another model of knuckle, the whole set of gripper and tooling plate must be replaced, and even the mechanical structure must be redesigned and the program must be debugged, which takes a long time of several hours to several days to change production, cannot meet the flexible production demand, the overall equipment utilization is greatly reduced due to frequent change of production and debugging, and once a small fault (such as workpiece jamming, slight positioning deviation) occurs, the whole system may stop, the maintenance is complex, and the over-customized tooling for solving the grabbing problem not only increases the cost, but also makes the production line layout rigid and difficult to adjust with process optimization.
