Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building material processing technology, specifically to an automatic rib laying device and method for reinforcing ribs of earthquake-resistant aluminum alloy plates. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum alloy panels, as a commonly used panel material for metal curtain walls, directly affect the aesthetics, safety, and service life of building facades through their installation accuracy. The installation of reinforcing ribs primarily relies on manual operation or semi-automatic equipment. Existing semi-automatic installation equipment typically uses fixed workstations for positioning and fitting the reinforcing ribs. The clamping and replacement of aluminum alloy panels often rely on manual handling or simple positioning structures, resulting in poor flexibility in workstation transitions. It is difficult to coordinate installation and panel replacement within a limited workspace, leading to panel displacement during installation and causing the reinforcing ribs to deviate from the design reference, affecting the product's seismic performance. Furthermore, there is a lack of effective detection mechanisms to verify the accuracy of the reinforcing ribs after installation. Operators cannot visually determine whether the reinforcing ribs are misaligned or offset; random checks are usually required after the entire batch is produced, making it impossible to promptly detect and correct installation defects in individual products. Therefore, this paper proposes an automated installation device and method for reinforcing ribs in seismic-resistant aluminum alloy panels. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic rib laying device and method for reinforcing ribs of earthquake-resistant aluminum alloy plates with reinforcing ribs, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] An automatic laying device for reinforced, earthquake-resistant aluminum alloy plates includes a laying platform, a laying mechanical claw, a laying tray, and a comparison shovel. A worktable is fixedly connected to the top of the laying platform. An automatic laying base, providing power to the laying mechanical claw, is fixedly connected to the worktable. A conversion module connected to the laying tray is provided on the top surface of the worktable. The conversion module includes a rotating base, a power motor, and a connecting rotating seat rotatably connected to the top of the rotating base. The rotating base is fixedly connected to the top surface of the worktable, and the power motor is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the worktable. The main shaft of the power motor passes through the worktable and the rotating base and is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the connecting rotating seat. A support module is also provided on the laying platform. The support module includes a support base plate, a vertical reinforcing plate, and a detection pad, bolted sequentially from bottom to top. A side connecting frame is detachably connected to the top of the detection pad by bolts. The comparison shovel is detachably connected to the opposite side connecting frames by bolts.
[0006] Preferably, the surface of the comparison shovel is provided with equidistant and parallel comparison grooves, the comparison shovel is inclined, and the bottom end of the comparison shovel is at the same level as the top end of the laying tray.
[0007] Preferably, the supporting base plate is fixedly connected to the laying frame by bolts, the vertical reinforcing plate penetrates through the workbench surface, and the detection pad is parallel to the workbench surface and located above the workbench surface.
[0008] Preferably, the laying tray is fixedly connected to the connecting turntable, and the laying tray is provided with an aluminum alloy plate positioning frame, and the aluminum alloy plate positioning frame is provided with an equidistant array of anti-slip positioning protrusions.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom end face of the aluminum alloy plate positioning frame is fitted with a magnetic connector, and the corresponding position on the top end face of the laying tray is fitted with a connection point corresponding to the magnetic connector.
[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the workbench is also fixedly connected to a laying support panel. The laying support panel and the detection pad are both located between the workbench and the laying tray, and the top surface of the laying support panel and the top surface of the detection pad are both on the same plane as the bottom surface of the laying tray.
[0011] Preferably, an automatic method for laying reinforcing ribs in a reinforced seismic-resistant aluminum alloy plate includes the following steps:
[0012] Step 1: Place the aluminum alloy plate to be reinforced into the aluminum alloy plate positioning frame on the laying tray. The power motor in the conversion module drives the connecting turntable to rotate, moving the laying tray above the laying support panel.
[0013] Step 2: The automatic base laying mechanical claw performs the automatic laying action, laying the reinforcing ribs at the corresponding positions on the aluminum alloy plate;
[0014] Step 3: After the laying is completed, the power motor drives the connecting turntable to rotate, moving the laying tray above the test pad;
[0015] Step 4: During the movement of the laying pallet, the shovel is lifted upwards from the top surface of the laying pallet to lift the aluminum alloy plate positioning frame off the laying pallet so as to remove the aluminum alloy plate with the reinforcing ribs.
[0016] Step 5: During the removal process, compare the comparison groove on the surface of the shovel plate with the position of the reinforcing rib to check whether the reinforcing rib has been misaligned.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0018] 1. In this invention, an automatic switching between the laying station and the loading / unloading station is achieved by setting up a conversion module consisting of a rotating base, a power motor, and a connecting rotating seat. When the laying pallet rotates above the laying support panel, the top surface of the laying support panel fits against the bottom surface of the laying pallet, forming a stable support and effectively preventing the material from shaking due to uneven force during the laying process. Simultaneously, the laying pallet is equipped with an aluminum alloy plate positioning frame with anti-slip positioning protrusions, and combined with the cooperation of magnetic connectors and connection points, ensures that the aluminum alloy plate maintains a precise positional reference throughout the laying process. This solves the problems of poor station switching flexibility and lack of coordination, and overcomes the defect of low laying accuracy caused by easy material displacement.
[0019] 2. In this invention, after the laying pallet rotates above the testing pad, the inclined blade of the comparison shovel can lift the aluminum alloy plate positioning frame from the laying pallet, facilitating the removal of the finished product. During the removal process, the operator slides the aluminum alloy plate with reinforcing ribs laid along the inclined surface of the comparison shovel. The accuracy of the laying position can be visually judged by the fit between the reinforcing ribs and the comparison groove. The finished product removal function and the quality inspection function are integrated into one, realizing the instant verification of the laying quality of a single product, effectively avoiding the generation of batches of defective products, and reducing production costs.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] 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.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution:
[0027] An automatic laying device for reinforced, earthquake-resistant aluminum alloy plates includes a laying platform 1, a laying robotic claw 5, a laying tray 6, and a comparison shovel 15. A worktable 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the laying platform 1, and an automatic laying base 4, which provides power to the laying robotic claw 5, is fixedly connected to the worktable 2. A conversion module connected to the laying tray 6 is located on the top surface of the worktable 2. This conversion module includes a rotating base 8, a power motor 9, and a connecting rotating seat 10 rotatably connected to the top of the rotating base 8. The rotating base 8 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the worktable 2, and the power motor 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the worktable 2. The main shaft of the power motor 9 passes through the worktable 2 and the rotating base 8, and is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the connecting rotating seat 10. Driven by the power motor 9, the connecting rotating seat 10 can drive the laying tray 6 to rotate in a horizontal plane, achieving rapid switching of work positions. A support module is also provided on the laying platform 1. The support module includes a support base plate 11, a vertical reinforcing plate 12, and a detection pad 13, which are bolted together from bottom to top. The support base plate 11 is bolted to the laying frame 1. The vertical reinforcing plate 12 penetrates the worktable surface 2. The detection pad 13 is parallel to the worktable surface 2 and located above it. A side connecting frame 14 is detachably bolted to the top of the detection pad 13, and a comparison shovel 15 is detachably bolted between the opposite side connecting frames 14. The detachable bolt connection method facilitates the replacement of the comparison shovel 15 according to different specifications of the aluminum alloy plate.
[0028] A laying support panel 3 is also fixedly connected to the top surface of the workbench 2. Both the laying support panel 3 and the detection pad 13 are located between the workbench 2 and the laying tray 6, and the top surfaces of both the laying support panel 3 and the detection pad 13 are on the same plane as the bottom surface of the laying tray 6. This height setting ensures that the laying tray 6 can be stably supported on the laying support panel 3 or the detection pad 13 during rotation, avoiding wobbling due to suspension and ensuring laying accuracy.
[0029] The laying tray 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting pivot 10. An aluminum alloy plate positioning frame 17 is provided on the laying tray 6. The aluminum alloy plate positioning frame 17 has equidistantly arrayed anti-slip positioning protrusions inside to prevent displacement of the aluminum alloy plate during laying. To further improve positioning stability, a magnetic connector is embedded in the bottom end face of the aluminum alloy plate positioning frame 17, and corresponding connection points are embedded in the top end face of the laying tray 6. Through magnetic attraction, the stability of the positioning frame during laying is ensured, and quick separation is facilitated after laying.
[0030] The comparison shovel 15 has equidistant and parallel comparison grooves on its surface. The comparison shovel 15 is inclined and its bottom surface is at the same level as the top surface of the laying tray 6. When the laying tray 6 moves the aluminum alloy plate positioning frame 17 above the detection pad 13, the inclined structure of the comparison shovel 15 allows it to be inserted from the edge into the gap between the positioning frame and the laying tray, making it easy to shovel up the positioning frame.
[0031] In this embodiment, the automatic reinforcement laying method based on the above-mentioned automatic reinforcement laying equipment includes the following steps:
[0032] Step 1: Material loading and workstation transition
[0033] The aluminum alloy plate to be reinforced is placed within the aluminum alloy plate positioning frame 17 on the laying tray 6, and initial positioning is achieved through the anti-slip positioning protrusions. The power motor 9 in the conversion module is started, driving the connecting rotary seat 10 to rotate, which moves the laying tray 6 above the laying support panel 3. At this time, the bottom surface of the laying tray 6 is in contact with the top surface of the laying support panel 3, forming a stable laying support.
[0034] Step 2: Automatic Laying
[0035] The automatic laying base 4 drives the laying robotic claw 5 to perform automatic laying actions. The laying robotic claw 5 grasps the reinforcing ribs and accurately lays them in the corresponding positions on the aluminum alloy plate according to the preset trajectory and position. Since the laying support plate 6 is stably supported by the laying support panel 3 during the laying process, it can effectively avoid the shaking of the plate caused by uneven force during laying, ensuring the laying accuracy of the reinforcing ribs.
[0036] Step 3: Workstation Transfer
[0037] After the installation is completed, the power motor 9 drives the connecting rotatable base 10 to rotate again, moving the installation tray 6 above the detection pad 13. At this time, the bottom surface of the installation tray 6 is in contact with the top surface of the detection pad 13, forming a stable detection support.
[0038] Step 4: Scoop up and remove
[0039] The shovel plate 15 is lifted upwards, its inclined blade inserting into the edge of the aluminum alloy plate positioning frame 17, scooping the aluminum alloy plate positioning frame 17 off the laying tray 6. The magnetic connector automatically detaches under the upward force, allowing the operator to easily remove the positioning frame along with the aluminum alloy plate with reinforcing ribs. After removal, the unloaded positioning frame can be placed back on the laying tray 6, and the magnetic connector automatically adheres and positions itself, ready for the next laying operation.
[0040] Step 5: Comparison and Detection
[0041] During the removal process, the operator slides the positioning frame along with the aluminum alloy plate upwards along the inclined surface of the comparison shovel 15. The equidistant parallel comparison grooves on the surface of the comparison shovel 15 are aligned with the laying position of the reinforcing ribs, enabling real-time verification of the laying quality of individual products and avoiding the generation of batches of defective products.
