Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipe pile grinding device technology, specifically a robotic arm for a pipe pile end face grinding machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of building foundation engineering, pipe piles are widely used due to their high bearing capacity and convenient construction. In order to ensure the splicing quality of pipe piles and the effective transmission of overall vertical bearing capacity, the flatness and verticality of their end faces are subject to strict requirements. Therefore, after the pipe piles are produced, their end faces need to be ground to remove burrs and laitance, and to obtain a flat and clean welding or adhesive surface.

[0003] However, most existing pipe pile grinding devices use a single angle grinder to grind the end face of the pipe pile. Although this method can grind the end face of the pipe pile, the end face ground by only one angle grinder is often relatively rough and has low flatness. It cannot automatically perform coarse grinding of the pipe pile end face and then automatically perform fine grinding of the pipe pile end face to ensure the flatness of the pipe pile end face. Therefore, we have introduced a robotic arm for a pipe pile end face grinding machine. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a robotic arm for a pipe pile end face grinding machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A robotic arm for a pipe pile end face grinding machine includes a six-axis robotic arm body, which is fixedly mounted on a heavy-duty slide table.

Installation mechanisms are movably connected to both sides of the support column 12. A grinding disc 16 is installed in the installation mechanism. The installation mechanism installs the grinding disc 16 and drives the grinding disc 16 to rotate.

[0016] Two connecting plates 8 are fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 6. A storage box 10 and a limiting plate 9 are fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate 8 away from the connecting block 6, respectively. There is a gap between the storage box 10 and the limiting plate 9, which allows the mounting frame 17 to enter. A pushing mechanism is provided inside the storage box 10. A discharge port 30 is provided at the lower end of the storage box 10, and the discharge port 30 is connected to the inside of the storage box 10. The grinding disc 16 stored in the storage box 10 is pushed into the discharge port 30 by the pushing mechanism.

[0017] The storage box 10 is equipped with a blocking mechanism on the outside. The blocking mechanism blocks the discharge port 30. The upper end of the limiting plate 9 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove 31. The grinding disc 16 is limited by the arc-shaped limiting groove 31. The storage box 10 is movably installed with a box cover 11. The new grinding disc 16 can be stored in the storage box 10 by opening the box cover 11. After storage is completed, the box cover 11 can be reinstalled on the upper end of the storage box 10 by screwing.

[0018] Example 2: Based on Embodiment 1, in order to allow the coarse grinding disc 16 and the fine grinding disc 16 installed in the two mounting brackets 17 to interchange their positions, a first connecting motor 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 6. The output end of the first connecting motor 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 19. The first connecting motor 7 drives the rotating shaft 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the support column 12 to rotate. A second connecting motor 26 is fixedly connected inside the rotating shaft 19. The output end of the second connecting motor 26 is fixedly connected to the support column 12. The second connecting motor 26 drives the support column 12 to rotate, thereby allowing the coarse grinding disc 16 and the fine grinding disc 16 installed in the two mounting brackets 17 to interchange their positions.

[0019] The installation mechanism includes a mounting frame 17, one end of which is movably connected to a T-slot 13. The T-slot 13 is located on the outside of the support column 12. A lead screw 14 is screwed into the mounting frame 17. The lower end of the lead screw 14 is movably connected to the T-slot 13, and the upper end passes through the support column 12 and is fixedly connected to the output end of a drive motor 15. The drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column 12. The drive motor 15 drives the lead screw 14 to rotate. Driven by the lead screw 14, the mounting frame 17 moves up or down along the T-slot 13, thereby driving the grinding disc 16 to move, so that the grinding disc 16 can grind the end face of pipe piles of different diameters.

[0020] A positioning plate 23 is provided on the inner side of the mounting bracket 17. One end of the positioning plate 23 has an internal threaded hole. The positioning plate 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 24. The first motor 24 is fixedly connected inside the mounting bracket 17. A cross-shaped screw rod 20 is provided at the end of the positioning plate 23 away from the first motor 24. The cross-shaped screw rod 20 has external threads on its outer side. One end of the cross-shaped screw rod 20 has a insertion slot 25. A hexagonal insertion rod 22 is inserted into the insertion slot 25. A magnet is provided inside the hexagonal insertion rod 22. One end of the hexagonal insertion rod 22 is fixedly connected to… The motor 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first telescopic cylinder 21, which is also fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 17. The motor 5 is moved by the first telescopic cylinder 21, causing one end of the hexagonal plug rod 22 to be inserted into the plug slot 25 located at one end of the cross-shaped screw rod 20. The motor 5 drives the hexagonal plug rod 22 to rotate, causing the other end of the cross-shaped plug rod 20 to rotate away from the positioning plate 23. At the same time, during the rotation process, the first telescopic cylinder 21 drives the motor 5 to move.

[0021] The pushing mechanism includes a push plate 27, which is disposed inside the storage box 10. A second telescopic cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage box 10. The output end of the second telescopic cylinder 18 extends into the storage box 10 and is fixedly connected to the push plate 27. The push plate 27 is moved by the second telescopic cylinder 18, so that the grinding discs 16 stored in the storage box 10 move as a whole towards the discharge port 30. The blocking mechanism includes an L-shaped blocking plate 28, which is movably connected inside the storage box 10. A third telescopic cylinder 29 is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage box 10. The output end of the third telescopic cylinder 29 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped blocking plate 28. When the third telescopic cylinder 29 is activated, the L-shaped blocking plate 28 moves and cancels the obstruction of the discharge port 30. At this time, the grinding discs 16 stored in the storage box 10 will be discharged through the discharge port 30.

[0022] Working principle: During use, the pipe pile is transported to the grinding area and raised. The heavy-duty slide table 4 moves along the linear translation bearing platform 1, driving the six-axis robotic arm body 3 to move. The six-axis robotic arm body 3 can drive the connecting block 6 to move, so that the grinding disc 16 in the mounting frame 17 contacts the end face of the pipe pile. By turning on the first motor 24, the grinding disc 16 can be rotated. The rotating grinding disc 16 can grind the end face of the pipe pile. The first connecting motor 7 can drive the rotating shaft 19 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 19 drives the support column 12 to rotate. At this time, the grinding disc 16 located in the mounting frame 17 rotates and grinds along the end face of the pipe pile. After the grinding disc 16 on one side finishes grinding the end face of the pipe pile, the six-axis robotic arm body 3 drives the mounting frame 17 away from the end face of the pipe pile. The second connecting motor 26 drives the support column 12 to rotate, so that the finer grinding disc 16 rotates to the position of the end face of the pipe pile. The six-axis robotic arm body 3 then brings the finer grinding disc 16 into contact with the end face of the pipe pile again, and the end face of the pipe pile is ground again by the finer grinding disc 16. When the grinding disc 16 needs to be replaced, the mounting bracket 17 of the grinding disc 16 to be replaced is rotated to a position close to the six-axis robotic arm body 3. The support column 12 is controlled to be in a horizontal state by the first connecting motor 7. The mounting motor 5 is moved by the first telescopic cylinder 21, so that one end of the hexagonal plug rod 22 is inserted into the plug slot 25 located at one end of the cross-shaped screw rod 20. The hexagonal plug rod 22 is rotated by the mounting motor 5, so that the other end of the cross-shaped plug rod 20 is rotated away from the positioning plate 23. At the same time, during the rotation process, the first telescopic cylinder 21 drives the mounting motor 5 to move. At this time, the grinding disc 16 located in the mounting bracket 17 falls off. The magnet located in the hexagonal plug rod 22 will attract the cross-shaped screw rod 20, so that the first telescopic cylinder 21 can drive the cross-shaped plug rod 20 to move. The drive motor 15 is turned on, causing the lead screw 14 to rotate, moving the mounting bracket 17 (without the grinding disc 16 installed) between the storage box 10 and the limiting plate 9. At this time, the drive motor 15 stops rotating, and the third telescopic cylinder 29 is activated, causing the L-shaped blocking plate 28 to move and remove its obstruction of the discharge port 30. The grinding disc 16 stored in the storage box 10 will then be discharged through the discharge port 30. When the lower end of the grinding disc 16 enters the arc-shaped limiting groove 31, the first telescopic cylinder 21 and the mounting motor 5 will be activated again, causing one end of the cross-shaped screw rod 20 to be screwed onto the positioning plate 23. Inside the internal threaded hole, the grinding disc 16 is fixed in place. After the first telescopic cylinder 21 is installed, it drives the installation motor 5 back to its initial position. One end of the hexagonal plug rod 22 disengages from the plug groove 25. The third telescopic cylinder 29 drives the L-shaped baffle plate 28 to block the discharge port 30 again. The second telescopic cylinder 18 drives the push plate 27 to move, so that the grinding disc 16 stored in the storage box 10 moves as a whole towards the discharge port 30. By rotating the lead screw 14 in the opposite direction, the mounting bracket 17 of the grinding disc 16 after replacement can be moved out of the storage box 10 and the limiting plate 9.

[0023] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
