Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to a high-efficiency oxidation feeding device with multi-station collaboration. Background Technology

[0002] Surface oxidation treatment of aluminum alloys is an important process for improving their corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetics, and is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and construction. Traditional aluminum alloy oxidation processes typically include multiple steps such as loading, oxidation, cleaning, and drying, often requiring manual or semi-automatic transfer between these steps.

[0003] In existing technologies, oxidation treatment tanks and drying equipment are usually located at different workstations. After oxidation, materials need to be transferred to the drying chamber manually or with auxiliary equipment. This not only increases the labor intensity of operators, but also easily causes damage to the surface of materials due to repeated handling, affecting product quality. In addition, traditional feeding methods mostly rely on fixed racks or manual feeding, which poses the risk of uneven feeding and missed feeding. Moreover, the hanging rods of traditional racks are mostly arranged at an angle, which poses the risk of materials falling after being hung. Therefore, we propose a multi-workstation collaborative high-efficiency oxidation feeding device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency oxidation feeding device with multi-station collaboration to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multi-station collaborative high-efficiency oxidation feeding device, comprising:

[0030] 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.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-6 This invention provides a technical solution: a multi-station collaborative high-efficiency oxidation feeding device, comprising:

[0032] Oxidation treatment tank 1, with guide rail 4 installed on it;

[0033] Drying chamber 2 is located at one end of oxidation treatment tank 1;

[0034] The lifting platform 6 is arranged side by side with the drying chamber 2, and the lifting platform 6 is equipped with a feeding belt conveyor 5 that connects to the external conveyor belt;

[0035] Hanger assembly 7 is located below guide rail 4, and a drive assembly is provided on one side of guide rail 4 to drive hanger assembly 7 to move circumferentially along guide rail 4 so as to enter different processing stations to complete loading when moving.

[0036] This facilitates the feeding of materials into oxidation treatment tank 1 and drying chamber 2;

[0037] Robotic arm 8 is located at the other end of oxidation treatment tank 1 to replenish the hanging frame assembly 7;

[0038] It facilitates the construction of a multi-station collaborative automated production line, realizing full-process automation and seamless connection from material receiving, automatic loading, intelligent feeding to oxidation and drying. It eliminates the material turnover links between different stations in the traditional mode, which not only greatly improves the overall efficiency of oxidation treatment and reduces labor costs and working time, but also ensures that the rack always operates at full load through the feeding of the robotic arm 8, maximizing the equipment's production capacity.

[0039] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a drive motor 3, a flexible transmission belt 9, and a slider 11. The slider 11 is slidably disposed inside the guide rail 4, and multiple sliders 11 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the guide rail 4. The flexible transmission belt 9 is fixed to one side of the slider 11 to connect multiple sliders 11 to form a whole. The drive motor 3 is disposed inside the guide rail 4, and the output end of the drive motor 3 has a gear that cooperates with the flexible transmission belt 9.

[0040] It facilitates the synchronous, smooth, and continuous driving of multiple hanger components 7, with high transmission efficiency and low operating noise. The flexible transmission belt 9 is preferably a transmission chain or a toothed belt to ensure the stability of power transmission, enabling the hanger to be accurately positioned on the annular guide rail 4 and reliably enter each processing station.

[0041] Preferably, a hook 10 that drives the hanger assembly 7 to move is rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the slider 11;

[0042] This facilitates the quick mounting of the hanger assembly 7 by the drive assembly, allowing the hanger assembly 7 to move along the guide rail 4.

[0043] Preferably, the bracket assembly 7 includes a top plate 71, a hanging plate 72, a support leg 74, a second rotating block 76, and a telescopic screw 75. Multiple telescopic screws 75 are provided on the lower surface of the top plate 71 along the height direction, and a hanging plate 72 is fixed between two adjacent telescopic screws 75. The hanging plate 72 has a hanging rod structure. The lowermost telescopic screw 75 is connected to the support leg 74. An installation block is provided on the top plate 71. The second rotating block 76 is connected to the inner side of the installation block through a damping bearing, and a hanging ring 77 that cooperates with the drive assembly is fixed on the second rotating block 76.

[0044] The hanging rod structure includes a limiting rod 731 and a hanging rod 732. The hanging rod 732 is fixed to the upper surface of the top plate 71. The limiting rod 731 is set on the hanging rod 732, and one end of the limiting rod 731 has a first rotating block 733 that rotates with the top plate 71. A torsion spring is provided on the outer surface of the first rotating block 733.

[0045] This design facilitates dual optimization of the hanging stability of the hanging rack layers. The telescopic screw 75 allows operators to quickly adjust the spacing between the hanging plates 72 of each layer according to the actual size of the workpiece, significantly improving the equipment's adaptability to workpieces of different specifications. The cooperation between the limiting rod 731 and the hanging rod 732, especially through the pre-tensioning of the torsion spring, forms an automatically closing "gate" structure at the entrance of the hanging area, which can effectively limit the workpiece from accidentally falling from the end of the hanging rod 732, fundamentally preventing it from slipping during high-speed start-up, stopping, or vibration, and ensuring the safety and reliability of the conveying process.

[0046] Preferably, the middle of the hanging rod 732 is recessed downward to form a groove that restricts the movement of materials, and one end of the hanging rod 732 has an elbow 734;

[0047] The two bends 734 are designed to facilitate the separation of the hanging rod 732 from the end of the limiting rod 731, creating a larger gap for hanging materials.

[0048] Preferably, the elbow 734 is arc-shaped, and one end of the limiting rod 731 is provided with another elbow 734 with the arc-shaped orientation opposite to that of the elbow 734.

[0049] Preferably, the guide rail 4 is annular, and the height of the guide rail 4 corresponding to the oxidation treatment tank 1 is lower than the height corresponding to the drying chamber 2;

[0050] This facilitates better entry of materials into the inner side of oxidation treatment tank 1.

[0051] Preferably, the inner side of the lifting platform 6 has a lifting cylinder that drives the feeding conveyor belt 5 to move, and the lower surface of the feeding conveyor belt 5 has guide rods around it that cooperate with the lifting platform 6.

[0052] It acts as a "buffer interface" and "lifting mechanism" between external continuous conveying and internal intermittent conveying. It facilitates the smooth reception of materials from the external conveyor belt and can accurately lift them to the height where they dock with the circular guide rail 4, thus realizing the connection between the internal and external logistics systems.

[0053] Preferably, the oxidation treatment tank 1 is U-shaped;

[0054] This allows the annular guide rail 4 to penetrate and cover most of the oxidation treatment tank 1 with the shortest path, ensuring that the rack has sufficient processing time in the tank, while also making the equipment layout more compact and reducing the floor space required.

[0055] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: During use, the external conveyor belt transports the aluminum alloy material hanging on the hanging frame assembly 7 to the feeding conveyor belt 5. The lifting platform 6 drives the feeding conveyor belt 5 to rise. The drive motor 3 drives multiple sliders 11 to slide along the guide rail 4 through the flexible transmission belt 9. The hooks 10 on the lower surface of the sliders 11 cooperate with the hanging rings 77 of the hanging frame assembly 7 to complete the automatic hanging. The material is moved to the vicinity of the robotic arm 8. When the robotic arm 8 visually identifies missing material, it replenishes the material. Then, the drive assembly moves the material to the inside of the oxidation treatment tank 1 for oxidation treatment. After treatment, the material is dried in the drying chamber 2. The oxidized material can be unloaded manually or by the robotic arm 8.

[0056] 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.
