Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material handling equipment technology, and more particularly to a steel sheet handling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the steel rolling production process, in order to verify whether the performance of the steel strip is qualified, multiple samples need to be obtained from the steel strip (by cutting or shearing) and then sent to the laboratory for performance testing by a workshop trolley. The sampling process needs to minimize the time occupied in order to reduce the impact on the production rhythm, so the overall sampling efficiency is required to be high.

[0003] In the existing technology, the process of transferring the sample to the workshop trolley (usually an AGV trolley with a material frame or pallet) after cutting the steel strip is generally done manually. Because the sampling area is located on the production line, the working environment is harsh and dangerous. When manually handling the sample, it is necessary to wear anti-cut and anti-scalding protective gloves to enter the production line for operation. The labor intensity of the handling process is also relatively high. It requires a single person to carry the sample back and forth or multiple people to work together. The stability is poor and the processing efficiency is also relatively low.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a steel sheet handling device that can replace operators in handling steel strip samples (steel sheets), has good operational stability, high transportation safety, requires no multiple operators, and has high operational efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description of this application will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "up," "down," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains; the terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention; the term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the steel sheet handling device of this application includes a base frame 100, a lifting component, a top support plate 300, an upright support frame, an adsorption and displacement component, a sample clamping and conveying component, a steel sheet receiving component, a power component, and a control unit.

[0023] The basic frame 100 is a horizontally placed rectangular plate or rectangular box structure, which serves as a load-bearing and supporting structure, and a controlled-operation travel component is positioned at the bottom; the travel component is a wheeled travel system or a tracked travel system, which is existing technology.

[0024] The lifting component is positioned at the top of the base frame 100 and is used to lift the top support plate 300. It includes an inner lifting body and an outer protective sleeve 210. The inner lifting body is a scissor-type lifting structure or a vertical telescopic rod structure, which is fixed to the top of the lifting component and operates under control. The bottom of the outer protective sleeve 210 is positioned at the top of the base frame 100, and the top of the outer protective sleeve 210 is fixed to the bottom of the top support plate 300. It is a corrugated pipe structure that surrounds the lifting component and provides protection.

[0025] The top support plate 300 is a horizontally placed rectangular rigid plate with the same length direction as the base frame 100. It is positioned on top of the lifting component and is lifted and lowered by the lifting component to provide load support. The ability of the top support plate 300 to be lifted and lowered by the lifting component allows the steel sheet handling device of this application to be adapted to different production lines.

[0026] The vertical support frame is a rigid frame that is fixed to the top or side wall of the top support plate 300. Its height is greater than the length of the top support plate 300. It is used to support the positioning adsorption and displacement component and the steel sheet receiving component.

[0027] Furthermore, the vertical support frame includes a vertical support frame 410, a horizontal plate 420, and a top guide pipe 430; the vertical support frame 410 is a vertical rod-shaped frame, there are 4 of them, the distance between them is greater than 40 cm, and the bottom is directly or indirectly fixed to the top support plate 300, and fixed near the top edge of the top support plate 300; the horizontal plate 420 is a horizontal rigid plate, fixed to the top of the vertical support frame 410, and plays a connecting and supporting role; the top guide pipe 430 is a horizontal rigid square tube, the length direction is the same as the length direction of the top support plate 300, and it is located directly above the top support plate 300.

[0028] The adsorption and displacement assembly is used to fix the sample and move it by adsorption with a suction cup, including a suction cup carrying and moving assembly and a vacuum suction cup 540. The suction cup carrying moving component is used to drive the vacuum suction cup 540 to move as needed, thereby using the vacuum suction cup 540 to adsorb the sample as needed and insert the sample into the sample clamping and conveying component in a timely manner. The suction cup-supported moving assembly includes a horizontal sliding rod 510, a vertical rod frame 520, and a rotating connecting body 530; The horizontal sliding rod 510 is a horizontal rigid rod that passes through and is slidably positioned on the top guide tube 430. It slides under the coordinated control of the power component and the control unit. The component that drives it to slide is preferably a gear and rack mechanism. The sliding direction of the horizontal sliding rod 510 is the same as the length direction of the top support plate 300. The vertical rod 520 is a vertical rigid telescopic rod, fixed to the bottom of the horizontal sliding rod 510 near one end, and is controlled to extend and retract, thereby driving the vacuum suction cup 540 to rise and fall. The rotating connector 530 is cylindrical or rod-shaped, vertically arranged, rotatably connected to the bottom of the vertical frame 520, and rotates around the axis of the vertical frame 520 under the coordinated control of the power component and the control unit. The vacuum suction cup 540 is existing technology, operates under control, and is positioned at the bottom of the rotating connector 530.

[0029] The suction cup-borne moving component is equipped with a camera component that is signal-connected to the control unit. The main structure of the camera component is a camera, which is used to assist the operator in remotely controlling the operation of the steel sheet handling device of this application.

[0030] The sample clamping and conveying assembly is positioned at the top of the top support plate 300, horizontally arranged and directly below the adsorption and displacement assembly. It is a combination of two sets of controlled-operation conveyor belt structures arranged one above the other, with the length direction being the same as the length direction of the top support plate 300. There is a gap between the two sets of conveyor belt structures equal to the thickness of the sample. Both sets of conveyor belt structures include a rubber ring belt and a rigid drum for opening the ring belt and driving it to rotate. After the adsorption and displacement assembly adsorbs and fixes the sample, it is inserted between the two sets of conveyor belt structures and then conveyed into the steel sheet receiving assembly by the two sets of conveyor belt structures.

[0031] The main structure of the steel sheet receiving assembly is a container that can be controlled to move up and down, serving to hold the sample sheet. It is located at the end of the sample sheet clamping and conveying assembly that is away from the vacuum suction cup 540.

[0032] The steel sheet receiving assembly includes a horizontal frame 710, a vertical telescopic frame 720, and a bearing container 730. The horizontal frame 710 is a horizontally placed rigid frame, its length direction being the same as the length direction of the top bearing plate 300. It is fixed to the side of the horizontal plate 420 away from the vacuum suction cup 540, serving a load-bearing and supporting function. The vertical telescopic frame 720 is a vertically placed rigid telescopic rod, fixed to the bottom of the horizontal frame 710, and its extension and retraction are controlled, causing the bearing container 730 to move up and down during extension and retraction. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the carrying container 730 is a container with multiple storage spaces. It is detachably fixed to the bottom of the vertical telescopic frame 720 and set close to the sample clamping and conveying assembly. It has an opening on at least one side. The sample enters the carrying container 730 stably under the guidance and transportation of the sample clamping and conveying assembly.

[0033] The steel sheet housing assembly also serves as a counterweight.

[0034] The power assembly is used to provide power for the operation of each component of the steel sheet handling device of this application, and the control unit plays the role of controlling the coordinated operation of each component of the steel sheet handling device of this application. Both are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Preferably, the control unit is a combination of a programmable logic controller and a remote control module.

[0036] When the steel sheet handling device of this application is used: The steel sheet handling device is operated by the operator or moves into the production line according to a set program and approaches the sample to be handled. The suction and displacement component is controlled to move the vacuum suction cup 540 directly above the sample. The vacuum suction cup 540 is used to suction and fix the sample near the center of its top surface. Simultaneously, the sample clamping and conveying component is controlled to insert the sample into the clamping and conveying component, which then stably transports it into the steel sheet receiving component. After the sample detaches from the clamping and conveying component, the component continues to operate while the carrying container 730 reciprocates vertically, with the movement amplitude exceeding half the total height of the clamping and conveying component. One measure is to ensure that the samples to be stored in the carrier container 730 are completely detached from the area between the two sets of conveyor belt structures of the sample clamping and conveying assembly, thus avoiding the problem of samples getting stuck when the carrier container 730 moves up and down. At the same time, the operation of the traveling assembly and the adsorption and displacement assembly of the base frame 100 is controlled to adsorb and fix other samples and send them into the sample clamping and conveying assembly. When different samples need to be filled into the carrier container 730 of the steel sheet receiving assembly, the carrier container 730 is controlled to rise and fall as needed so that different samples can be stored in different receiving spaces for differentiation. After the carrier container 730 is full of samples, it is directly transported to the laboratory or the carrier container 730 is removed and transported to the laboratory by a workshop trolley.

[0037] The sample clamping and conveying assembly of the conveyor belt structure plays a role in stabilizing the conveying. Because the sample is transported by being clamped by two sets of conveyor belt structures, the movement is more stable and the trajectory of the sample during transportation is more controllable. As a result, the smaller carrying container 730 can hold more samples (while ensuring accuracy, the samples can be stored more densely in the carrying container 730).

[0038] Furthermore, the sample clamping and conveying assembly includes a base frame 610, a bottom support assembly, and a pressing conveying assembly; the base frame 610 is a rigid support fixed to the top surface of the top bearing plate 300, used to support the bottom support assembly; the bottom support assembly is a transverse conveyor belt structure, with its length direction the same as the length direction of the top bearing plate 300, including a first roller 621, a second roller 622, a positioning frame 623, and an annular belt 624; the first roller 621 and the second roller 622 are both transverse drum structures, with their axial direction the same as the width direction of the top bearing plate 300, and are positioned on the base frame 610 by the positioning frame 623. One of them operates under the coordinated control of the control unit and the control components; the positioning frame 623 is a rigid support, preferably a U-shaped frame, which serves as a connecting support; the annular belt 624 is a rubber annular belt, which is sleeved on the first roller 621 and the second roller 622 and is stretched into an elongated shape by the first roller 621 and the second roller 622 and is always in a taut state; the structure of the pressing component conveying assembly is the same as that of the bottom support component assembly, and is symmetrically arranged with the bottom support component assembly and located directly above the bottom support component assembly, and is fixed to the upright support frame by a rigid support; the gap between the bottom support component assembly and the pressing component conveying assembly is equal to the thickness of the sample.

[0039] Preferably, the distance between the base support assembly and the pressing component conveying assembly can be adjusted as needed; the pressing component conveying assembly is positioned on the upright support frame via a rigid bracket and the lifting control assembly 650; the lifting control assembly 650 is located between the pressing component conveying assembly and the rigid bracket, and is a vertical telescopic rod structure that is controlled to extend and retract.

[0040] Preferred, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressing component conveying assembly is a combination of two conveyor belt structures arranged side by side, including a first conveying unit 630 and a second conveying unit 640. The first conveying unit 630 and the second conveying unit 640 are symmetrically arranged and have the same structure. Both are located directly above the bottom support component assembly, and the distance between them is more than 1.5 times the diameter of the vacuum suction cup 540. After the vacuum suction cup 540 adsorbs the sample and inserts it between the pressing component conveying assembly and the bottom support component assembly, it can still move between the first conveying unit 630 and the second conveying unit 640 without detaching from the sample, thereby further ensuring the stability of the transportation operation and effectively reducing the risk of falling.

[0041] Furthermore, the first conveying unit 630 includes a horizontal carrier frame 631, a drum carrier frame 632, a first rotating column 633, a second rotating column 634, and a pressure ring belt 635; the horizontal carrier frame 631 is a horizontally placed rigid plate-shaped or rigid rod-shaped frame, which serves as a load-bearing and supporting element; the drum carrier frame 632 is a U-shaped plate-shaped frame with an opening facing downwards, and there are two of them, which are used to support the first rotating column 633 and the second rotating column 634 respectively, and are positioned at the bottom of the horizontal carrier frame 631 and close to the horizontally placed column 634. The carrier 631 is provided at both ends; the first rotating column 633 and the second rotating column 634 are both horizontally placed rigid drums, with their axial direction being the same as the width direction of the top bearing plate 300, and at least one of them operates under the coordinated control of the control unit and the power component; the pressure ring belt 635 is a rubber ring-shaped belt, which is sleeved on the first rotating column 633 and the second rotating column 634 and is always in a taut state; since the second conveying unit 640 has the same structure as the first conveying unit 630, its structure will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Preferably, the distance between the first conveying unit 630 and the second conveying unit 640 and the base support assembly can be adjusted as needed; both the first conveying unit 630 and the second conveying unit 640 are positioned on the upright support frame by means of rigid brackets and lifting control components 650.

[0043] Preferred, such as Figure 5 As shown, the carrying container 730 includes an inverted frame 731 and multiple sample holders 732; the inverted frame 731 is an inverted plate-shaped frame with its opening facing the sample clamping and conveying assembly; the sample holders 732 are horizontally placed rod-shaped frames arranged in multiple rows and columns on the inverted frame 731, and the sample holders 732 in the same row are used to carry the same sample.

[0044] Preferred, such as Figure 6 As shown, the carrying container 730 is a box structure with an opening on one side.

[0045] Considering that the obtained samples are mostly obtained through cutting and shearing, leaving many burrs on the edges, and that some subsequent testing processes require manual movement of the samples, the presence of burrs hinders the safe operation of these processes; preferably, the steel sheet handling device of this application also includes an edge processing component; such as Figures 7 to 9As shown, the edge processing component is used to efficiently remove burrs from the sample by grinding the edges of the sample during transport. The edge processing component includes a horizontal telescopic rod 810, a floating rod 820, a vertical column 830, and a grinding block 840. The horizontal telescopic rod 810 is a horizontally arranged rigid telescopic rod, fixed to the base frame 610, and is a controlled telescopic electric telescopic rod. The floating rod 820 is a telescopic rod with a built-in tension spring, normally in a retracted state, and extended when subjected to tension. It is coaxial with the horizontal telescopic rod 810 and fixed to the end of the horizontal telescopic rod 810 away from its own fixed point. The vertical column 830 is a vertically arranged rigid column, fixed to the end of the floating rod 820 away from the horizontal telescopic rod 810, and serves as a load-bearing support. The grinding block... 840 is a vertically positioned funnel-shaped grinding wheel, located at the top of the vertical column 830, and rotates around its own axis under the coordinated control of the power component and the control unit. The center position of the grinding block 840 is at the same height as the sample conveyed by the sample clamping and conveying component. There are two edge processing components, located on both sides of the sample clamping and conveying component, which are simultaneously controlled to closely adhere to the two sides of the sample and grind the edges of the sample being conveyed. After the two edge processing components grind the two sides of the sample, the sample clamping and conveying component is controlled to drive the sample to move in the opposite direction and use the vacuum suction cup 540 to re-adsorb and fix the sample. Then, the rotating connector 530 is controlled to rotate 90 degrees and the sample is inserted into the sample clamping and conveying component for re-transfer and grinding, thereby cleaning the burrs of the entire sample.

[0046] Preferably, when it is necessary to rotate the sample, without removing the sample from the base support assembly, the vacuum suction cup 540 is moved between the first conveying unit 630 and the second conveying unit 640 to hold the sample in place; then the first conveying unit 630 and the second conveying unit 640 are moved upward and the rotating connector 530 is rotated 90 degrees to achieve stable rotation of the sample.

[0047] Preferably, the reciprocating conveying of the sample by the edge processing component in conjunction with the sample clamping and conveying component enables the sample to undergo multiple polishing processes.

[0048] Furthermore, to ensure the stability of adsorption and fixation, such as Figure 10As shown, the adsorption and displacement assembly further includes an expansion suction cup assembly; the expansion suction cup assembly includes a horizontal connecting frame 550, a vertical rod 560, and an expansion suction cup 570; the horizontal connecting frame 550 is a horizontally placed rigid frame, fixed to the side wall of the vertical rod 520 near the bottom; the vertical rod 560 is a vertically arranged rigid telescopic rod, fixed to the end of the side wall of the horizontal connecting frame 550 away from its fixed position, and is controlled to extend and retract; the expansion suction cup 570 has the same structure as the vacuum suction cup 540, is fixed to the bottom of the vertical rod 560, and is controlled to operate; when adsorbing and fixing the sample, the expansion suction cup 570 and the vacuum suction cup 540 are used to simultaneously adsorb onto the sample; when it is necessary to rotate the sample, the adsorption and fixing of the sample by the expansion suction cup 570 is canceled.

[0049] Preferably, there are two expansion suction cup assemblies, and the two horizontal connecting frames 550 of the two expansion suction cup assemblies are arranged in a herringbone pattern.

[0050] Preferred, such as Figure 11 As shown, in order to ensure the stability of adsorption, a bottom carrier plate 580 is fixed to the bottom of the rotating connector 530; the bottom carrier plate 580 is a horizontal plate that serves as a load-bearing plate; there are multiple vacuum suction cups 540, which are arranged in multiple rows and columns at the bottom of the bottom carrier plate 580.

[0051] Considering that the suction cup may become contaminated and affect the stability of adsorption after processing (adsorption and fixation) a large number of samples, therefore, preferably, such as Figure 11 As shown, a dust removal component is also positioned on the top surface of the top support plate 300. The dust removal component cleans the suction cups periodically by removing dust with adhesive tape, ensuring the stability of the suction cups.
