[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , a turnout pad laying system provided by an embodiment of the utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the system may include:

[0028] The laying platform 1 is made of magnetic material; further, the laying platform 1 is made of an integral steel plate or a plurality of steel plates spliced ​​together.

[0029] A pair of guide rails 2, wherein the pair of guide rails 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the laying platform 1 in a one-to-one correspondence;

[0030] A gantry 3, wherein the gantry 3 is cooperatively connected with the pair of guide rails 2 so that the gantry 3 moves forward and backward along the pair of guide rails 2;

[0032] An electromagnet suction cup 5, wherein the electromagnet suction cup 5 is connected to the execution end of the robot 4;

[0033] A visual scanning and recognition unit 6, wherein the visual scanning and recognition unit 6 is connected to the execution end of the robot 4;

[0034] Among them, the robot 4 is used to place a number of pad pallets 7 at predetermined positions on the paving platform 1, and to place a number of switch pads 10 one by one on the number of the pad pallets 7; the visual scanning and recognition unit 6 is used to obtain the real-time position information of the pad pallet 7 and the switch pad 10, so that the robot 4 can adjust the pad pallet 7 and the switch pad 10 to the target position according to the real-time position information; the pad pallet 7 includes an electromagnetic generating mechanism, and after determining that the pad pallet 7 and the switch pad 10 are installed at the target position, the robot 4 is also used to trigger the electromagnetic generating mechanism to start, so that the pad pallet 7 can magnetically attract the paving platform 1 and the switch pad 10 at the same time.

[0035] The laying system of the turnout pad 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application uses the laying platform 1 as the main carrier installation platform, and the robot 4 is connected to the gantry 3, so that the robot 4 can move forward, backward, left and right. The electromagnet suction cup 5 provided and installed at the end of the robot 4 can be excited and demagnetized as needed. In the excited state, the pad tray 7 and the turnout pad 10 can be adsorbed so as to transfer the pad tray 7 or the turnout pad 10 to a pre-set corresponding position, that is, the target position. Since the pad tray 7 can also be excited and demagnetized as needed, after the pad tray 7 and the turnout pad 10 are accurately placed, the pad tray 7 can be excited so that the pad tray 7 can magnetically adsorb the turnout pad 10 and the laying platform 1 at the same time, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the position of the turnout pad 10. After the switch pad 10 is fixed, the track can be connected to the corresponding switch pad 10. After the track and the switch pad 10 are connected, the pad tray 7 is controlled to demagnetize, and the switch pad 10 and the pad tray 7 are separated, and the track connected to the switch pad 10 can be removed for the next step.

[0036] At the same time, the provided visual scanning and recognition unit 6 can monitor the placement positions of the pad tray 7 and the switch pad 10 in real time, thereby ensuring that the pad tray 7 and the switch pad 10 are accurately installed, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the system.

[0037] Since multiple switch pads 10 and multiple pad trays 7 need to be installed when installing the switch pads 10, in order to facilitate the robot 4 to take the switch pads 10 and the pad trays 7, the embodiment of the present application can provide a pad tray box 8 and a pad box 9, the pad tray box 8 is used to store the pad trays 7, and the pad box 9 is used to store the switch pads 10.

[0038] In order to reduce the travel of the robot 4 and improve work efficiency, the embodiment of the present application can also provide a rod, which is connected to the gantry 3 so that the rod can run synchronously with the robot 4 along the left and right of the gantry 3; the rod is used to accommodate the pad pallet box 8 or the pad box 9.

[0039] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the installation positions of the respective pad trays 7 and the switch pads 10 as required, the embodiment of the present application may further provide a coordinate input control unit, which is communicatively connected with the robot 4 .

[0040] The method for using the turnout pad laying system provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0041] Step 1: Prepare the turnout laying platform 1, which is made of steel plates. It can be made of a whole steel plate or multiple steel plates can be welded together. The processed laying platform is preferably rectangular.

[0042] Step 2: A guide rail 2 is provided on both sides of the laying platform 1, and a gantry 3 is installed on the guide rail 2. The robot 4 is installed on the gantry 3. The gantry 3 can slide forward and backward along the guide rail, and the robot 4 can slide left and right along the gantry 3.

[0043] Step 3: Install the electromagnet suction cup 5 on the robot 4 arm. The suction force of the electromagnet suction cup 5 must be greater than the gravity of the heaviest pad. Install the visual scanning and recognition unit 6.

[0044] Step 4: Make a pad pallet 7. The top and bottom of the pad pallet 7 can be magnetically adsorbed. The pad pallet 7 can be packed. The pad pallet box 8 can be placed on the side of the laying platform 1 or in front of the laying platform 1. Alternatively, the rods are welded or assembled on the gantry 3. The forklift places the pad pallet box 8 on the rod, which can move the pad pallet box 8 with the gantry 3, thereby reducing the time for the robot arm to go back and forth to grab the pad pallet 7 and improve work efficiency.

[0045] Step 5: The robot 4 moves to the top of the pad tray box 8, and uses the visual scanning and recognition unit 6 to scan and recognize the pad tray 7. The robot also uses the built-in electromagnet suction cup 5 to grab the pad tray 7.

[0046] Step 6: Input the placement coordinates of the pad tray 7 into the control system in advance. The robot 4 carries the pad tray 7 and places the pad tray 7 at the predetermined coordinates.

[0047] Step 7: The robot 4 returns to the top of the pad pallet box 8, grabs and places the next pad pallet 7. The cycle continues until all the pad pallets 7 are placed. After that, the pad pallet box 8 can be moved away by a forklift.

[0048] Step 8: The pad box 9 is placed in the same position as the pad tray box 8, the robot 4 moves to the top of the pad box 9, and uses the visual scanning and recognition unit 6 to scan and recognize the pad 10. The pad 10 is grasped by the built-in electromagnet suction cup 5.

[0049] Step 9: Input the design coordinates of the holes of the pad 10 into the control system in advance. The robot 4 aligns the holes of the pad 10 with the design coordinates and places the pad 10 at the design coordinate position.

[0050] Step 10: The robot 4 returns to the top of the pad box 9, grabs and places the next pad 10. The cycle continues until all pads 10 are placed.

[0051] Step 11: Use the visual scanning recognition unit 6 of the robot 4 to detect whether the hole coordinates of all the pads 10 meet the requirements. If not, the position of the pads 10 needs to be fine-tuned by the robot 4 arm.

[0052] Step 12: When the hole position tolerances of all pads 10 meet the requirements, the robot 4 arm turns on the switches of the pad tray 7 one by one. At this time, the upper surface of the pad tray 7 is magnetically adsorbed to the pad 10, and the lower surface of the pad tray 7 is magnetically adsorbed to the laying platform 1, completing the fixing of the pad 10.

[0053] In summary, in the turnout pad laying system provided by the present application, the robot performs visual scanning and identification on the pad tray, and uses an electromagnet suction cup to place the pad tray at the predetermined coordinates on the laying platform; the robot performs visual scanning and identification on the pads, and uses an electromagnet suction cup to place the pads in sequence at the predetermined coordinates on the laying platform. The robot performs visual scanning and detection on the hole positions of all pads, and when the hole positions do not meet the requirements, the robot arm is used to fine-tune the position of the pads. The robot arm toggles the pad tray switches one by one so that the pads can be fixed on the laying platform.
