[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1-4, a brick grinding mechanism includes: a grinding component 3 and a vertical transmission component 2, the output end of which is connected to the grinding component 3 to realize the up-and-down movement of the grinding component 3; and a horizontal pushing component 1, the moving end of which is connected to the vertical transmission component 2 to realize the horizontal movement of the vertical transmission component 2 and the connected grinding component 3.

[0037] Specifically, the grinding component 3 includes: a motor 33 connected to a motor mounting plate 32; the output end of the motor 33 passes through the motor mounting plate 32 and is connected to a synchronous transmission component through a coupling 34; the lower end of the synchronous transmission component is simultaneously connected to three grinding wire wheels 312.

[0038] Specifically, the synchronous transmission assembly includes: a first mounting plate with three bearings 39 spaced apart, each bearing 39 having a drive shaft 310 passing through its center, each drive shaft 310 having a pulley 35 connected to its upper end and a grinding fixture 311 connected to its lower end, the grinding fixture 311 having a grinding wire wheel 312 connected to its lower end; a synchronous belt 38 connecting the three pulleys 35 to achieve synchronous rotation; and a coupling 34 connecting the middle pulley 35 among the three pulleys 35.

[0039] Specifically, the first mounting plate is equipped with two tensioning pulleys 36 for adjusting the tension of the timing belt 38. Each bearing 39 is topped with a bearing cover 37 to prevent dust accumulation.

[0040] Specifically, the vertical transmission assembly 2 includes: a horizontal mounting plate 22, with a motor lead screw module 23 connected to its upper end, a grinding motor drive mounting plate 31 connected to the moving end of the motor lead screw module 23, and a motor mounting plate 32 connected to the other side of the grinding motor drive mounting plate 31.

[0041] Specifically, the motor lead screw module 23 includes a lead screw, a lead screw nut, and a lead screw motor. The output end of the lead screw motor is connected to the lead screw, and the lead screw nut is threaded onto the lead screw. The lead screw rotation drives the lead screw nut to move. The lead screw nut is connected to the grinding component 3, which drives the grinding component 3 to achieve the up-and-down lifting function.

[0042] Specifically, the horizontal pushing component 1 includes a grinding bracket 11 and a pushing cylinder 12. The pushing cylinder 12 is located at the left end of the upper surface of the grinding bracket 11, with its output end facing the right side of the grinding bracket 11. The output end of the pushing cylinder 12 is connected to the horizontal mounting plate 22 through a floating joint 13.

[0043] Specifically, it also includes: guide rods 14, one guide rod 14 is set on the front and rear sides of the upper end of the grinding bracket 11, and the two ends of each guide rod 14 are connected to the grinding bracket 11 through a shaft support group 15; two sliding box bearings 21 are respectively connected to the lower end face of the transverse mounting plate 22, and the two sliding box bearings 21 are respectively slidably sleeved on the two guide rods 14.

[0044] Specifically, during the production of refractory bricks, burrs easily stick to the edges and corners, affecting their use in stacking. This brick grinding mechanism spans both sides of the conveyor line. After the brick is conveyed to its designated position, the auxiliary cylinder clamps it, and the motor 33 starts, driving three sets of grinding steel wire wheels 312 to rotate via the synchronous belt 38. Simultaneously, the motor screw module 23 starts, causing the grinding assembly 3 to descend. Once the grinding assembly 3 reaches the predetermined position, the lateral push cylinder 12 extends, moving the grinding assembly 3 and completing the brick grinding. Before the return stroke, the grinding motor 33 stops, the motor screw module 23 reverses, causing the grinding assembly 3 to rise, and the lateral push cylinder 12 retracts, completing one grinding cycle. The equipment is driven by one cylinder and two motors, making it economical and efficient, effectively increasing grinding efficiency.

[0045] In the initial standby state, the horizontal pushing component 1, the vertical transmission component 2, and the grinding component 3 are all in their initial positions: the pushing cylinder 12 is in the retracted state, the vertical transmission component 2 is located at the left end of the grinding bracket 11; the motor screw module 23 is in the upper position, the grinding component 3 is raised to the highest position, and the three sets of grinding steel wire wheels 312 are far away from the conveyor line and bricks, so as not to interfere with the brick conveying.

[0046] After the refractory bricks are conveyed to the grinding station by the conveyor line, the conveyor line stops running, and the external auxiliary cylinder clamps and positions the bricks to provide a stable reference for the grinding operation.

[0047] The motor 33 in the grinding assembly 3 starts running, and the power is transmitted to the central pulley 35 via the coupling 34. Then, through the synchronous belt 38, it drives the pulleys 35 on both sides to rotate synchronously, causing the three drive shafts 310, the lower grinding fixing part 311, and the three sets of grinding wire wheels 312 to rotate synchronously, entering the grinding working state. At the same time, the motor lead screw module 23 in the vertical transmission assembly 2 starts, and the lead screw motor rotates in the forward direction, driving the lead screw nut, the grinding motor drive mounting plate 31, and the motor mounting plate 32 to move downward, so that the entire grinding assembly 3 descends smoothly until the grinding wire wheels 312 reach the height that matches the surface of the brick to be ground.

[0048] After the grinding assembly 3 descends into position, the pushing cylinder 12 in the horizontal pushing assembly 1 begins to extend, and the power is transmitted to the horizontal mounting plate 22 through the floating joint 13; the sliding box bearing 21 at the lower end of the horizontal mounting plate 22 slides smoothly along the guide rod 14, driving the vertical transmission assembly 2 and the grinding assembly 3 to move laterally to the right as a whole; the grinding wire wheel 312 in the rotating state moves laterally with the mechanism, continuously and evenly grinding and removing the burrs and flash on the surface and corners of the brick, completing one grinding operation.

[0049] After grinding is completed, the motor 33 stops running and the grinding wire wheel 312 stops rotating; then the motor screw module 23 rotates in reverse, driving the grinding component 3 to lift upward, so that the grinding wire wheel 312 is removed from the brick surface; finally, the push cylinder 12 retracts, driving the vertical transmission component 2 and the grinding component 3 to move to the left along the guide rod 14 back to the initial standby position, completing a complete grinding cycle.

[0050] After the subsequent bricks are delivered to their positions, the mechanism repeats the above motion process to achieve continuous and automated grinding of the bricks.

[0051] This brick grinding mechanism is highly automated, replacing manual grinding. It is safe and efficient, employing a horizontal pushing component, a vertical transmission component, and a grinding component working together to achieve automatic brick grinding. It completely replaces manual operation, solving the problems of low efficiency, high labor intensity, and high safety hazards associated with manual grinding, and conforms to the people-oriented and automated production concept.

[0052] With its compact structure and small footprint, it is well-suited for compact workshops. The overall structure is a rack-mounted, straddle-mounted integrated structure on both sides of the conveyor line. It does not require the large safety working area needed for robots, has low requirements for site obstruction and space, and can be directly deployed in existing compact workshops and production lines.

[0053] Low cost, excellent economy and maintainability. Driven by conventional standard components such as cylinders, lead screw modules, and motors, it has a simple structure, low cost, convenient debugging and low maintenance cost, which is significantly better than the high procurement, debugging and maintenance costs of industrial robot grinding equipment.

[0054] Multi-wheel synchronous grinding ensures high grinding efficiency and uniform results. A single motor drives three sets of grinding steel wire wheels to rotate synchronously via a synchronous belt, resulting in a large grinding area and uniform contact. The tensioning wheel ensures stable transmission and can efficiently remove burrs and flash from bricks, improving the appearance and assembly quality of bricks.

[0055] Stable and reliable operation with comprehensive dust protection. Vertical lifting is achieved through a motor screw module, while horizontal movement is guided by a guide rod and a sliding box bearing, ensuring smooth movement and accurate positioning. A bearing cover plate is installed above the bearing to effectively block dust, extend the service life of the bearing and transmission components, and adapt to dusty brick production environments.

[0056] It can be directly connected to the conveyor line, and the production mechanism can be installed across both sides of the conveyor line to work in conjunction with the brick conveying and clamping device to achieve integrated operation of conveying, positioning and grinding. It is easy to integrate into existing refractory brick and other brick production lines to improve the automation level and capacity of the entire production line.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
