Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of brick aligning mechanisms, and in particular relates to a brick aligning mechanism. Background Art

[0002] As a basic building material, fired bricks are widely used in the construction industry. In the production process of fired bricks, the degree of mechanization and automation is high, while the number of mechanized production equipment related to finished bricks is relatively small. In the packaging process of finished bricks, the stacked bricks need to be transferred layer by layer (generally from top to bottom layer by layer). The existing transfer method is to place the brick stack on a pallet (or trailer) that can be lifted up and down. After the top brick of the brick stack is taken away by the brick clamp, the pallet will be lifted by the corresponding machine to the height of one brick to prepare for the next brick clamp to take it. Since bricks are stacked during the firing process, it is inevitable that the upper and lower layers of bricks will form adhesion. If there is adhesion between the upper and lower layers of bricks, the lower layer of bricks will be taken away together when the upper layer of bricks is taken away, and the lower layer of bricks will form corresponding gaps. In addition, since the brick clamp clamps the bricks by applying pressure on both sides of a layer of bricks to make the layers of bricks press against each other to generate friction and clamp them up, when there is a gap in a layer of bricks, the layer of bricks cannot abut against each other, and the entire layer of bricks cannot be clamped. At this time, manual brick removal is required, which reduces the transportation efficiency. Therefore, in response to the above problems, we proposed a brick alignment mechanism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the brick aligning mechanism of this embodiment includes a frame 1, a gathering and pushing assembly 2 and a clamping assembly 3. The clamping assembly 3 and the gathering and pushing assembly 2 are longitudinally distributed on the frame 1. The clamping assembly 3 is used to clamp the bricks, and the gathering and pushing assembly 2 is used to push the bricks from all sides.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rack 1 specifically includes four rectangular frames, which are hollow structures penetrating from front to back. The four rectangular frames are distributed in a rectangular shape and are connected in sequence at the first position.

[0033] In this embodiment, the pushing assembly 2 includes four pushing modules 21, which are distributed around the frame 1, and are used to push bricks toward the middle. Specifically, the pushing modules 21 are arranged on the upper end of the top plate of the rectangular frame.

[0034] In this embodiment, the pushing module 21 specifically includes a first driving cylinder 211, an abutting portion 212 and a first stabilizing rod 213. The abutting portion 212 is arranged at the output end of the first driving cylinder 211. The first driving cylinder 211 is hinged with an articulated seat at one end away from the output end, and the articulated seat is fixed to the upper end of the rectangular frame top plate. The abutting portion 212 has a slide rail groove, and the first stabilizing rod 213 is a slide rail matching the slide rail groove. The abutting portion 212 is slidably assembled on the first stabilizing rod 213 through the slide rail groove. The first stabilizing rod 213 is fixed to the upper end of the rectangular frame top plate. The length direction of the first stabilizing rod 213 is consistent with the telescopic direction of the first driving cylinder 211 connected thereto and is consistent with the length direction of the rectangular frame. In this way, the pushing module 21 can be installed on the frame 1 through the connection between the first stabilizing rod 213 and the articulated seat and the rectangular frame.

[0035] In this embodiment, the pushing module 21 has two first drive cylinders 211, and the two ends of the abutment 212 are respectively fixed to the output ends of the two first drive cylinders 211. Taking the pushing module 21 that pushes bricks from the left to the right as an example, the two first drive cylinders 211 of the pushing module 21 are respectively arranged on two rectangular frames in opposite directions, that is, two rectangular frames in the front and rear positions. There are also two corresponding first stabilizing rods 213, which are respectively arranged on two rectangular frames in opposite directions, and the two ends of the abutment 212 in the length direction are respectively slidably connected to the two first stabilizing rods 213. In this embodiment, the output ends of the two first drive cylinders 211 of the pushing module 21 are both facing the left side, and the two ends of the abutment 212 in the length direction are respectively fixed to the two output ends. In the initial state, the two first drive cylinders 211 are in an extended state, and the abutment 212 in this state will be in a position close to the left rectangular frame, and the brick to be pushed will rise from the middle of the frame 1 from bottom to top, and the specific lifting action is completed by other brick lifting mechanisms. After the brick is raised to be horizontally aligned with the abutment portion 212, the two first driving cylinders 211 are controlled to contract simultaneously, so that the abutment portion 212 can be driven to move to the right. The abutment portion 212 can push the brick to the right by moving in this way. The pushing principle of the pushing module 21 in other directions is the same as that of the pushing module 21, and will not be repeated here.

[0036] In this embodiment, the abutting portion 212 includes a first connection seat 2121 and a first abutting rod 2122. There are two first connection seats 2121 and four first abutting rods 2122. The four first abutting rods 2122 are spaced apart longitudinally, and both ends in the length direction are respectively fixedly connected to the two first connection seats 2121. The two first connection seats 2121 are used to be fixedly connected to the output ends of the two first driving cylinders 211. In addition, the slide rail groove of the abutting portion 212 is provided on the first connection seat 2121. Among the four abutting portions 212, the structures of two adjacent abutting portions 212 are almost the same, and the difference is that the first abutting rods 2122 of the two adjacent abutting portions 212 are not in the same plane, that is, the first abutting rods 2122 of the two adjacent abutting portions 212 are staggered with each other in the longitudinal direction, so that the first giving way portions are formed between the two adjacent abutting portions 212. The first giving way portion of this embodiment is the longitudinal interval between the first abutting rods 2122 and the first abutting rods 2122. The first giving way portion can give way to each other when the two adjacent abutting portions 212 approach each other, that is, they can give way to each other when moving toward the middle to push the bricks.

[0037] In this embodiment, the abutment portion 212 also includes a first stabilizing member 2123. Among the four first abutment rods 2122 of the abutment portion 212, a first stabilizing member 2123 is fixedly connected between any two adjacent first abutment rods 2122. The first stabilizing member 2123 is located in the middle of the first abutment rods 2122. This can improve the connection strength between the first abutment rods 2122 and also enhance the structural strength of the middle of the abutment portion 212.

[0038] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 3 includes four clamping modules 31, and the four clamping modules 31 are distributed around the front, back, left and right sides of the frame 1. Among the four clamping modules 31, the two clamping modules 31 opposite to each other in the front and back and the two clamping modules 31 opposite to each other in the left and right are respectively a group, and the two groups of clamping modules 31 are respectively used for clamping bricks in the front and back and in the left and right.

[0039] In this embodiment, the clamping module 31 specifically includes a second drive cylinder 311, a clamping portion 312 and a second stabilizing rod 313. The clamping portion 312 is arranged at the output end of the second drive cylinder 311, and the second drive cylinder 311 is hinged with an articulated seat at one end away from the output end, and the articulated seat is fixed to the upper end of the bottom plate of the rectangular frame. The clamping portion 312 has a slide rail groove, and the second stabilizing rod 313 is a slide rail matching the slide rail groove. The clamping portion 312 is slidably assembled on the second stabilizing rod 313 through the slide rail groove, and the second stabilizing rod 313 is fixed to the upper end of the bottom plate of the rectangular frame. The length direction of the second stabilizing rod 313 is consistent with the telescopic direction of the second drive cylinder 311 connected thereto and is consistent with the length direction of the rectangular frame. In this way, the clamping module 31 can be installed on the frame 1 through the connection between the second stabilizing rod 313 and the articulated seat and the rectangular frame.

[0040] In this embodiment, the clamping module 31 has two second drive cylinders 311, and the two ends of the clamping part 312 are respectively fixed to the output ends of the two second drive cylinders 311. Take a group of clamping modules 31 for clamping bricks on the left and right as an example. In this group of clamping modules 31, the two second drive cylinders 311 of the clamping module 31 for pushing and clamping bricks from left to right are respectively arranged on two rectangular frames in opposite directions, that is, two rectangular frames in front and back positions. There are also two corresponding second stabilizing rods 313, which are respectively arranged on the two rectangular frames in the front and back positions. Correspondingly, the two ends of the length direction of the clamping part 312 are respectively slidably connected to the two second stabilizing rods 313. In this embodiment, the output ends of the two second drive cylinders 311 of the clamping module 31 are both facing the left side, and the two ends of the length direction of the clamping part 312 are respectively fixed to the two output ends. In this group of clamping modules 31, the two second drive cylinders 311 of the clamping module 31 for pushing and clamping bricks from right to left are also respectively arranged on the two rectangular frames in the front and back positions. There are also two corresponding second stabilizing rods 313, which are respectively arranged on the two rectangular frames at the front and rear positions. Correspondingly, the two ends of the length direction of the clamping portion 312 are respectively slidably connected to the two second stabilizing rods 313. In this embodiment, the output ends of the two second driving cylinders 311 of the clamping module 31 are both facing the right side, and the two ends of the length direction of the clamping portion 312 are respectively fixed to the two output ends of the two second driving cylinders 311. In the initial state, the four second driving cylinders 311 of the clamping module 31 are all in an extended state, and the left and right clamping portions 312 in this state will be respectively located near the left rectangular frame and the right rectangular frame. The bricks to be clamped will rise from the middle of the frame 1 from bottom to top. After the bricks are raised to be horizontally aligned with the clamping part 312, the four second driving cylinders 311 on the left and right sides are controlled to shrink at the same time, so that the two clamping parts 312 can be driven to move relative to each other. The clamping parts 312 on the left and right sides can clamp the bricks in the left and right directions. The clamping principle of the other group of clamping modules 31 for clamping bricks in the front and back directions is the same as that of this group, which will not be repeated here. The difference is that the installation direction is the front and back direction.

[0041] In this embodiment, the clamping portion 312 includes a second connection seat 3121 and a second abutting rod 3122. The second connection seat 3121 and the second abutting rod 3122 each have two, the two second abutting rods 3122 are spaced apart longitudinally, and the two ends in the length direction are respectively fixedly connected to the two second connection seats 3121, and the two second connection seats 3121 are used to be fixedly connected to the output ends of the two first driving cylinders 211. In addition, the slide rail groove of the clamping portion 312 is provided on the second connection seat 3121. In the two clamping parts 312, the structures of the two adjacent clamping parts 312 are almost the same, and the difference is that the second abutment rods 3122 of the two adjacent clamping parts 312 are not in the same plane, that is, the second abutment rods 3122 of the two adjacent clamping parts 312 are staggered with each other in the longitudinal direction, so that the second giving way parts are formed between the two adjacent clamping parts 312. The second giving way part of this embodiment is the longitudinal interval between the second abutment rods 3122 and the second abutment rods 3122. The second giving way part can give way to each other when the two adjacent clamping parts 312 approach each other, that is, they can give way to each other when moving toward the middle to clamp the bricks.

[0042] In this embodiment, the clamping portion 312 also includes a second stabilizing member (not shown in the figure), and the second stabilizing member is fixedly connected between the two second abutting rods 3122 of the clamping portion 312. The second stabilizing member is located in the middle of the second abutting rods 3122. This can improve the connection strength between the second abutting rods 3122 and also enhance the structural strength of the middle of the clamping portion 312.

[0043] During operation, the brick lifting mechanism drives the brick stack to rise layer by layer from the middle of the frame 1. When the top bricks are aligned with the second top bricks, the clamping assembly 3 is first controlled to push and clamp the second top bricks to the middle from the front and back and left and right directions. After the second bottom bricks are clamped, the pushing modules 21 of the pushing assembly 2 are controlled to push the top bricks in turn to break the adhesion between the top bricks and the second top bricks. When pushing specifically, taking the right side as an example of initial pushing, the right side pushing module 21 drives its abutment 212 to move to the left to push the top bricks to the left as a whole, so that the top bricks move a certain distance relative to the second bottom bricks as a whole, so the moving distance should be controlled within the minimum thickness of the bricks. After pushing in place, the right side pushing module 21 is controlled to drive its abutment 212 to move to the right to reset, and then the rear side pushing module 21, the left side pushing module 21 and the front side pushing module 21 are controlled to push in this way. After the pushing in four directions is completed, the push assembly 2 can be controlled to push the uppermost bricks toward the middle, so that the uppermost bricks can be pushed evenly, and then the abutting parts 212 of the push assembly 2 can be controlled to reset, so that the uppermost bricks can be neatly taken away by the brick clamp. In the process of taking away the uppermost bricks, since the lowermost bricks are in a clamped and fixed state, the movement of the uppermost bricks will not drive the lowermost bricks to move, so that the lowermost bricks can be prevented from being scattered, providing favorable conditions for the subsequent removal of the lowermost bricks.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the brick aligning mechanism further comprises a housing 4, which covers the outside of the frame 1, the push assembly 2 and the clamping assembly 3. Such a setting can beautify the appearance of the entire brick aligning mechanism and protect each structure at the same time.

[0045] In summary, the utility model discloses a brick alignment mechanism, which can gather and clamp the lower layer bricks when the brick clamp unloads the brick stack, and then push the uppermost layer bricks to break the adhesion between the upper and lower layers of bricks, and prevent the uppermost layer bricks from taking away the lower layer bricks during the process of being taken away. In addition, during the process of taking bricks, the uppermost layer can be gathered together, while the lower layer bricks can be kept still, so that it is convenient for the brick clamp to take bricks and it can also prevent the lower layer bricks from being pushed apart during the process of taking bricks, so as to provide favorable conditions for the subsequent removal of the lower layer bricks.
