Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aluminum material conveying technology, and in particular relates to an aluminum material segmented conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum products are manufactured from aluminum and other alloying elements. They are typically first processed into castings, forgings, foils, strips, tubes, bars, and profiles, and then further processed through cold bending, sawing, drilling, assembly, and coloring. Existing aluminum material conveying systems are usually continuous conveyors driven by a motor. When sequential, orderly segmented conveying of aluminum is required, the motor must be started and stopped intermittently to achieve this. However, the motor's rotational inertia during these starts and stops leads to significant errors in the segmented conveying length, making it difficult to achieve smooth and orderly segmented conveying. Existing segmented conveying mechanisms are complex and cumbersome to operate, and cannot intermittently and orderly convey aluminum during the process, hindering efficient and accurate segmented conveying. Furthermore, aluminum materials vary in length, and using the same equipment to convey materials of different lengths makes it difficult to accurately deliver them to the correct position. Conveying shorter aluminum materials also consumes a lot of energy.
[0003] Existing conveying equipment cannot effectively guide materials to multiple transport stations, and cannot transport aluminum materials of different lengths at multiple points. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aluminum material segmentation conveying device. By using multiple unequal-length lateral conveying components on the lateral conveying mechanism, it can efficiently and accurately convey aluminum materials of various lengths. The effect of feeding at different points can be achieved by whether the first lateral conveying mechanism and the second lateral conveying mechanism are connected. This solves the problems of existing aluminum material conveying equipment being unable to accurately convey aluminum materials of different lengths and being unable to realize the multi-point delivery of aluminum materials of different lengths.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This invention relates to an aluminum material segmentation and conveying device, comprising a main conveying frame, a side-shifting and conveying mechanism, a first side-shifting mechanism, a second side-shifting mechanism, a first output belt, and a second output belt;
[0007] The main transport frame is provided with guide rollers at equal intervals. The main transport frame is provided with an exhaust pipe on the upper surface of the front half. The exhaust pipe exhausts air towards the guide rollers. The guide rollers are linked together by a linkage belt.
[0008] The lateral conveying mechanism includes multiple lateral conveying components of unequal length. The multiple lateral conveying components of unequal length are arranged in a row on the rear half of the main conveying frame. The lateral conveying components can move up and down and convey aluminum materials to both sides. When the lateral conveying components are lowered, their tops are lower than the tops of the guide rollers. When they are raised, their tops are higher than the tops of the guide rollers.
[0009] The lateral shifting and guiding mechanism is provided with a first lateral shifting mechanism, a second lateral shifting mechanism, a first output belt and a second output belt on both sides. One end of the first lateral shifting mechanism is connected to one side of the lateral shifting and guiding mechanism. After the lateral shifting and guiding component is raised, its top is higher than the first lateral shifting mechanism. The output end of the first lateral shifting mechanism 3 is provided with a downwardly inclined segment. The first output belt is provided below the output end of the first lateral shifting mechanism. The second lateral shifting mechanism can be horizontally displaced. The input end of the second lateral shifting mechanism can be connected to the output end of the first lateral shifting mechanism after displacement. The output end of the first lateral shifting mechanism is higher than the input end of the second lateral shifting mechanism.
[0010] After the input end of the second lateral shifting mechanism is connected to the output end of the first lateral shifting mechanism, a second output band is provided below the output end of the second lateral shifting mechanism.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the lateral conveying mechanism includes a first lateral conveying component, a second lateral conveying component, and a third lateral conveying component, wherein each of the first lateral conveying component, the second lateral conveying component, and the third lateral conveying component is provided with a lateral conveying unit, and each lateral conveying unit is just embedded in the interval between adjacent conveying rollers;
[0012] The number of lateral shifting and guiding units in the first lateral shifting and guiding assembly, the second lateral shifting and guiding assembly, and the third lateral shifting and guiding assembly are 4-5, 6-7, and 8-10, respectively.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the first side-shifting guide assembly, the second side-shifting guide assembly, and the third side-shifting guide assembly each include a base, a base plate, and a lifting servo motor. The base is fixed on the upper surface of the frame, and a limiting groove is provided at the edge of the upper surface of the base. A limiting post matching the limiting groove is provided at the edge of the lower surface of the base plate. A lifting servo motor is embedded in the center of the base. The rotating shaft of the lifting servo motor is a threaded rod, and the threaded rod spirally penetrates the base plate.
[0014] The upper surface of the base plate is provided with multiple lateral conveying units at equal intervals. Each lateral conveying unit includes two lateral conveying frames and two lateral conveying belts. The lateral conveying frames are symmetrically arranged with four U-shaped extension frames. The ends of the upper two and the lower one of the U-shaped extension frames are respectively provided with a driven pulley, and the end of the lower U-shaped extension frame is provided with a driving pulley. A row of driving pulleys are connected through a linkage shaft to achieve synchronous rotation of the driving pulleys. One end of the linkage shaft is connected to the shaft of the lateral conveying motor. Belt limiting plates are fixedly mounted on the upper two U-shaped extension frames.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the first lateral shifting guide component and the second lateral shifting guide component can be combined into the same synchronous lateral shifting unit, the second lateral shifting guide component and the third lateral shifting guide component can also be combined into the same synchronous lateral shifting unit, and the first lateral shifting guide component, the second lateral shifting guide component and the third lateral shifting guide component can also be combined into the same synchronous lateral shifting unit.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that a row of laser rangefinders is provided on the base plate between the two side-shifting guide frames of each side-shifting guide unit, and each row of laser rangefinders is sequentially numbered from the first side-shifting guide assembly, the second side-shifting guide assembly and the third side-shifting guide assembly;
[0017] The length and position of the aluminum material are determined by detecting the positions of the front and rear ends of the aluminum material using the laser rangefinders in each row. Each row of laser rangefinders can also detect the width of the aluminum material.
[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the first lateral displacement mechanism includes a first base plate frame and a plurality of first displacement units, wherein the first base plate frame is provided with a plurality of first displacement units at equal intervals, and the input end of each first displacement unit is inserted into the middle position between the two lateral displacement guide frames of the corresponding lateral displacement guide unit;
[0019] The first displacement units corresponding to the first side displacement guiding component, the second side displacement guiding component, and the third side displacement guiding component are all divided into a group, and the first displacement units in the same group are synchronous drive units.
[0020] The invention is further configured such that the first displacement unit includes a mounting plate, an inverted U-shaped displacement frame, and a displacement belt. The inverted U-shaped displacement frame is mounted on the mounting plate, with both ends of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame extending outward beyond both ends of the mounting plate. A downwardly extending inclined frame is connected to the output end of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame. Displacement slave rollers are provided at both ends of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame, and a displacement master roller is provided at the bottom end of the inclined frame. The displacement belt is sleeved on the displacement slave rollers and the displacement master rollers. The displacement master rollers in the same group of the first displacement units are connected by a synchronous displacement rod, and each synchronous displacement rod is driven by a servo motor.
[0021] The present invention is further configured such that the second lateral displacement mechanism has the same structure as the first lateral displacement mechanism, the second lateral displacement mechanism includes a second base plate frame and a plurality of second displacement units, the spacing between the second displacement units is equal to the spacing between the first displacement units, and the inverted U-shaped displacement frame in the second displacement unit is located on the midline between two adjacent first displacement units;
[0022] The bottom of the second lateral displacement mechanism is mounted on the transverse displacement device, which can displace the second lateral displacement mechanism so that the input end of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame of the second displacement unit is aligned with the output end of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame in the first displacement unit.
[0023] The top of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame of the second displacement unit is lower than the top of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame in the first displacement unit.
[0024] The present invention is further configured to select the lateral displacement position by selecting one or more of the first lateral displacement guiding component, the second lateral displacement guiding component, and the third lateral displacement guiding component;
[0025] The aluminum material can be selected to be output from the first output belt or the second output belt by choosing whether to dock the second side-shifting mechanism with the first side-shifting mechanism.
[0026] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] 1. When the aluminum material first enters the main transport frame, it is cooled by cold air during the transport process. When it enters the lateral conveying mechanism, the length of the aluminum material is measured. After the aluminum material has completely entered the lateral conveying mechanism, the length is determined. Based on the length, it is determined from which position on the lateral conveying mechanism to be laterally moved to the first lateral conveying mechanism. Then, it is determined from which output band to output as needed, and whether the second lateral conveying mechanism is connected to the first lateral conveying mechanism is selected to realize multi-point conveying of aluminum material.
[0028] 2. The first, second, and third side-shifting guide components in the side-shifting guide mechanism of this invention can work independently. Depending on the length of the aluminum material, one or more combinations can be selected to guide the aluminum material, reducing energy consumption and enabling precise side-shifting. Furthermore, the first and second side-shifting mechanisms also control displacement conveying in segments, allowing for precise delivery of the aluminum material to the required location based on its length. The aluminum material can then be delivered to a specific workstation on the corresponding first or second output belt, enabling the same set of equipment to precisely guide aluminum materials of different lengths.
[0029] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0040] 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.
[0041] Please see Figures 1-7 The present invention is an aluminum material segmentation and conveying device, comprising a main conveying frame 1, a side-shifting and conveying mechanism 2, a first side-shifting mechanism 3, a second side-shifting mechanism 4, a first output belt 5, and a second output belt 6;
[0042] The main frame 1 of the transport frame is provided with guide rollers 13 at equal intervals on the frame body 11. The frame body 11 is provided with an exhaust pipe 12 on the upper surface of the front half. The exhaust pipe 12 exhausts air towards the guide rollers 13. The guide rollers 13 are linked together by a linkage belt 14.
[0043] First, brackets are fixed at equal intervals on the frame 11. These brackets are used to install the guide rollers 13. Both ends of the guide rollers 13 are connected to the shafts of the belt rollers. One end of the belt roller has an extension shaft that rotates through the bracket and is then screwed into the end of the guide roller 13. When transporting aluminum materials, the aluminum materials are transported in the first half of the main frame 1. Due to the high temperature, cooling is required, and cold air is discharged upwards through the exhaust pipe 12 in the first half of the transport section for cooling. The belt rollers at both ends of the guide rollers 13 are staggered and arranged on both sides. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the belt setting method can be seen.
[0044] The lateral conveying mechanism 2 includes multiple lateral conveying components of unequal length. The multiple lateral conveying components of unequal length are arranged in a row on the rear half of the main conveying frame 1. The lateral conveying components can move up and down and convey aluminum materials to both sides. When the lateral conveying components are lowered, their tops are lower than the tops of the guide rollers 13. When they are raised, their tops are higher than the tops of the guide rollers 13.
[0045] Each lateral shifting guide component can work independently. Different length lateral shifting guide components can be activated for aluminum materials of different lengths to guide the aluminum material to the first lateral shifting mechanism 3 (guided to different sides as needed). When the aluminum material enters a specific position in the rear half of the main transport frame 1, the corresponding lateral shifting guide component is activated to lift the aluminum material away from the main transport frame 1. The aluminum material is transported at a low speed. In addition, the top of the lateral shifting guide component has friction, so the aluminum material will not move forward at the moment of lifting. Instead, it will be transported to the side by the lateral shifting guide mechanism 2 which is operating on the side (lateral shifting to both sides as needed). When it reaches the input end of the first lateral shifting mechanism 3, since the top height of the lateral shifting guide mechanism 2 is 5-10mm higher than the top height of the first lateral shifting mechanism 3, the aluminum material will slide into the first lateral shifting mechanism 3 for lateral shifting.
[0046] The lateral shifting and guiding mechanism 2 is provided with a first lateral shifting mechanism 3, a second lateral shifting mechanism 4, a first output belt 5, and a second output belt 6 on both sides. One end of the first lateral shifting mechanism 3 is connected to one side of the lateral shifting and guiding mechanism 2. After the lateral shifting and guiding component is raised, its top is higher than the first lateral shifting mechanism 3. The output end of the first lateral shifting mechanism 3 is provided with a downwardly inclined segment. The first output belt 5 is provided below the output end of the first lateral shifting mechanism 3. The second lateral shifting mechanism 4 can be horizontally displaced. The input end of the second lateral shifting mechanism 4 can be connected to the output end of the first lateral shifting mechanism 3 after displacement. The output end of the first lateral shifting mechanism 3 is higher than the input end of the second lateral shifting mechanism 4.
[0047] The downward-sloping segments of the first lateral shift mechanism 3 and the second lateral shift mechanism 4 can slide down to the corresponding first output band 5 and second output band 6 at the end, and the second lateral shift mechanism 4 needs to be docked with the first lateral shift mechanism 3 before it can work.
[0048] After the input end of the second lateral shifting mechanism 4 is connected to the output end of the first lateral shifting mechanism 3, a second output band 6 is provided below the output end of the second lateral shifting mechanism 4.
[0049] The side-shifting guide mechanism 2 includes a first side-shifting guide component 21, a second side-shifting guide component 22, and a third side-shifting guide component 23. Each of the first side-shifting guide component 21, the second side-shifting guide component 22, and the third side-shifting guide component 23 is provided with a side-shifting guide unit, and each side-shifting guide unit is just embedded in the interval between adjacent guide rollers 13.
[0050] The number of lateral shifting and guiding units in the first lateral shifting and guiding assembly 21, the second lateral shifting and guiding assembly 22, and the third lateral shifting and guiding assembly 23 are 4-5, 6-7, and 8-10, respectively.
[0051] Since the second side-shifting mechanism 4 needs to be connected to the first side-shifting mechanism 3, and the first side-shifting mechanism 3 and the second side-shifting mechanism 4 have different heights, and the first output belt 5 and the second output belt 6 are located below, there is a certain height difference between the top position of the first side-shifting mechanism 3 and the second side-shifting mechanism 4 and the output belt. Therefore, it is necessary to set a downward-sloping segment to move it downward for transportation, which can slow down the downward movement and ensure stable transportation.
[0052] The number of side-shifting guide units determines the length of aluminum material independently guided by each guide assembly. It can be set that the first side-shifting guide assembly 21 guides aluminum material within 5 meters, the second side-shifting guide assembly 22 guides aluminum material within 7 meters, and the third side-shifting guide assembly 23 guides aluminum material within 10 meters. In this way, when the aluminum material is within 4.5 meters, the first side-shifting guide assembly 21 is used for guidance, and the others do not work. When the length is between 4.5 and 6.5 meters, the second side-shifting guide assembly 22 is used for guidance, and the others do not work. Similarly, when the length is between 6.5 and 9.5 meters, the third side-shifting guide assembly 23 is used. A small length margin is reserved to avoid the positioning deviation of the conveying and prevent the aluminum material from being placed on the side-shifting guide assembly that is not working.
[0053] For lengths exceeding 9.5 meters, two adjacent units need to be combined for lateral shifting and guiding. This allows for different lateral shifting modes to be used for different lengths, maximizing the utilization of the lateral shifting and guiding components and saving energy.
[0054] The first side-shifting guide assembly 21, the second side-shifting guide assembly 22, and the third side-shifting guide assembly 23 all include a base 24, a base plate 211, and a lifting servo motor 241. The base 24 is fixed on the upper surface of the frame 11. The upper surface edge of the base 24 is provided with a limiting groove. The lower surface edge of the base plate 211 is provided with a limiting post that matches the limiting groove. The lifting servo motor 241 is embedded in the center of the base 24. The shaft of the lifting servo motor 241 is a threaded rod, and the threaded rod spirally penetrates the base plate 211.
[0055] The base 24 is fixed to ensure the stability of the lifting and lowering of the base plate 211. The lifting servo motor 241 can precisely control the lifting and lowering height. The limit post inserted into the limit slot can ensure that the lifting and lowering will not shift to the side or shake, thus ensuring the stability of the lifting and lowering.
[0056] Multiple lateral conveying units are evenly spaced on the upper surface of the base plate 211. Each lateral conveying unit includes two lateral conveying frames 212 and two lateral conveying belts 213. Four U-shaped extension frames are symmetrically arranged front and rear of each lateral conveying frame 212. A driven pulley 2122 is provided at the end of the upper two and the lower one of the U-shaped extension frames, and a driving pulley 2121 is provided at the end of the lower U-shaped extension frame. A row of driving pulleys 2121 are connected through a linkage shaft 214 to achieve synchronous rotation of the driving pulleys 2121. One end of the linkage shaft 214 is connected to the shaft of the lateral conveying motor. Belt limiting plates 215 are fixedly mounted on the upper two U-shaped extension frames.
[0057] The side-shifting guide unit has two side-shifting guide frames 212. Since there is enough space, two can be set up, and a laser rangefinder 20 can be arranged in the space between them.
[0058] A linkage rod 214 connects a row of drive pulleys 2121 to ensure synchronous rotation. Before installing the linkage rod 214, it is frozen to less than -100°C with liquid nitrogen. During assembly, the linkage rod 214 is inserted into the insertion hole at the end of the U-shaped extension frame and passes through all the drive pulleys 2121 in sequence. After returning to room temperature, the drive pulleys 2121 will interference fit the linkage rod 214 to ensure that the drive pulleys 2121 and the linkage rod 214 are fixed. However, there will still be a gap between the linkage rod 214 and the insertion hole at the end of the U-shaped extension frame at room temperature to ensure the rotation of the linkage rod 214.
[0059] The belt limit plate 215 is used to prevent the lateral conveyor belt 213 from swinging left and right during operation, and also to ensure that the lateral conveyor belt 213 does not sag.
[0060] The first lateral shift guide component 21 and the second lateral shift guide component 22 can be combined into the same synchronous lateral shift unit (suitable for 10-11 meter lateral shift transport), the second lateral shift guide component 22 and the third lateral shift guide component 23 can also be combined into the same synchronous lateral shift unit (suitable for 14-15 meter lateral shift transport), and the first lateral shift guide component 21, the second lateral shift guide component 22 and the third lateral shift guide component 23 can also be combined into the same synchronous lateral shift unit (suitable for 20-21 meter lateral shift transport).
[0061] There are three combination methods to achieve the side-shifting and conveying of longer aluminum materials, which are mainly suitable for transporting long aluminum materials. If the aluminum materials are even longer, the side-shifting and conveying capacity of the side-shifting and conveying component can be set and modified.
[0062] A row of laser rangefinders 20 is provided on the base plate between the two side-shifting guide frames 212 of each side-shifting guide unit. Each row of laser rangefinders 20 is numbered sequentially from the first side-shifting guide assembly 21, the second side-shifting guide assembly 22 and the third side-shifting guide assembly 23.
[0063] The length and position of the aluminum material are determined by detecting the positions of the front and rear ends of the aluminum material using the laser rangefinders 20 in each row. Each row of laser rangefinders 20 can also detect the width of the aluminum material.
[0064] The laser rangefinders 20 are arranged in a row. When the aluminum material is on a row of laser rangefinders 20, it can be determined that the aluminum material is above that position. It can also determine which laser rangefinders 20 have the same or similar measurement height and the number of them is the width value.
[0065] The first lateral displacement mechanism 3 includes a first base plate frame and a plurality of first displacement units 30. The first base plate frame is provided with a plurality of first displacement units 30 at equal intervals. The input end of each first displacement unit 30 is inserted into the middle position of the two lateral displacement guide frames 212 of the corresponding lateral displacement guide unit.
[0066] The first displacement units 30 corresponding to the first side displacement guide component 21, the second side displacement guide component 22 and the third side displacement guide component 23 are all divided into a group, and the first displacement units 30 in the same group are synchronous drive units.
[0067] The number of first displacement units 30 in a group matches the positions of the first side-shifting guide assembly 21, the second side-shifting guide assembly 22, and the third side-shifting guide assembly 23. When a first displacement unit 30 is in an intersection position (at the junction between adjacent side-shifting guide assemblies), it can be set or arbitrarily grouped as needed. Due to the high matching degree, the transportation of aluminum material on the first displacement units 30 also involves a fixed number of first displacement units 30 working to ensure optimal utilization of transportation energy (electrical energy).
[0068] The first displacement unit 30 includes a mounting plate 31, an inverted U-shaped displacement frame 32, and a displacement belt 33. The inverted U-shaped displacement frame 32 is mounted on the mounting plate 31. Both ends of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame 32 extend outward beyond the two ends of the mounting plate 31. A downwardly extending inclined frame 321 is connected to the output end of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame 32. The inverted U-shaped displacement frame 32 has displacement slave rollers at both ends. The inclined frame 321 has a displacement master roller at its bottom end. The displacement belt 33 is sleeved on the displacement slave rollers and the displacement master rollers. The displacement master rollers in the same group of the first displacement units 30 are connected by synchronous displacement rods. Each synchronous displacement rod is driven by a servo motor.
[0069] The inverted U-shaped displacement bracket 32 ensures that the aluminum material will not be pressed down and deformed when transported on the displacement belt 33, ensuring that the displacement belt 33 can move horizontally while still having the capacity to transport. The two ends of the inverted U-shaped displacement bracket 32 extend outward beyond the two ends of the mounting plate 31 to ensure insertion and docking without affecting the arrangement of the first output belt 5 and the second output belt 6 below. The synchronous displacement rod is installed in the same way as the linkage shaft rod 214 (low-temperature assembly to ensure that the displacement main roller is interference-fitted on it without affecting the rotation of the synchronous displacement rod).
[0070] The second lateral displacement mechanism 4 has the same structure as the first lateral displacement mechanism 3. The second lateral displacement mechanism 4 includes a second base plate frame and multiple second displacement units. The spacing between the second displacement units is equal to the spacing between the first displacement units. The inverted U-shaped displacement frame in the second displacement unit is located on the midline between two adjacent first displacement units 30.
[0071] The bottom of the second lateral displacement mechanism 4 is mounted on the transverse displacement device, which can displace the second lateral displacement mechanism 4 so that the input end of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame of the second displacement unit is connected to the output end of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame in the first displacement unit 30.
[0072] The top of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame of the second displacement unit is lower than the top of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame in the first displacement unit 30.
[0073] The second lateral displacement mechanism 4 has the same structure as the first lateral displacement mechanism 3, except that they are misaligned in the positions of the first displacement unit and the second displacement unit. The first lateral displacement mechanism 3 is in a fixed position, while the second lateral displacement mechanism 4 can be displaced to dock with the first lateral displacement mechanism 3 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 The top of the inverted U-shaped displacement frame inside the first displacement unit 30 is about 5-10mm lower, ensuring that it does not touch the end point of the input end of the second displacement unit at the docking position, but falls directly onto the second displacement unit.
[0074] The lateral displacement position is selected by choosing one or more of the first lateral displacement guide component 21, the second lateral displacement guide component 22, and the third lateral displacement guide component 23;
[0075] The aluminum material can be selected to be output from the first output band 5 or the second output band 6 by choosing whether to dock the second side-shifting mechanism 4 with the first side-shifting mechanism 3.
[0076] For aluminum materials with a predetermined length, the lateral conveying component to be used for lateral transport can be pre-defined. Combined with the laser rangefinder 20 measuring the aluminum material's displacement and length, the arrival position of the aluminum material can be accurately determined, triggering the raising of the first lateral conveying component 21, the second lateral conveying component 22, and / or the third lateral conveying component 23 for lateral transport. If the aluminum material length is uncertain, its position and length can be calculated as soon as it enters the lateral conveying mechanism 2, and then it can be immediately arranged and transported to the required position.
[0077] Whether the second side-shifting mechanism 4 is connected to the first side-shifting mechanism 3 determines whether the first output belt 5 or the second output belt 6 is used to transport the material to a specific workstation, while the direction of transport determined by which side the side-shifting guide mechanism 2 transports the material determines the transport orientation. The system can automatically calculate or pre-arrange the components to achieve multi-point transport, and can also save energy based on the length of the aluminum material, greatly improving transport efficiency and energy saving.
