[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings of the specific embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the exemplary scheme of the utility model. Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the utility model should be the common meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the relevant field.
[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, this embodiment proposes a refractory brick inspection and stamping device including a lower cabinet 101, a conveyor 2, a weighing device 3, a thickness measuring device 4, a stamping device 5 and a robot pick-and-place device 6. An upper shell 102 is arranged above the lower cabinet 101; the conveyor 2 can be raised and lowered on the upper surface of the lower cabinet 101, and horizontally penetrates the upper shell 102, a part of which is located inside the upper shell 102, and the remaining part is located outside the upper shell 102. The weighing device 3 is fixed on the upper surface of the lower cabinet 101, located at the leftmost end of the conveyor 2 and outside the upper shell 102. The thickness measuring device 4 is fixed on the upper surface of the lower cabinet 101, located in the middle of the conveyor 2 and inside the upper shell 102. The stamping device 5 is fixed on the upper surface of the lower cabinet 101, located on the right side of the thickness measuring device 4 and inside the upper shell 102. The robot pick-and-place device 6 is fixed on the upper surface of the lower cabinet 101, located at the rightmost end of the conveyor 2 and outside the upper shell 102.
[0043] The conveyor 2 of this embodiment adopts but is not limited to a chain conveyor. The motor drives the chain to rotate through the gears, so that the refractory bricks on the chain are transported from left to right. In order to realize the lifting and lowering of the conveyor 2, two first lifting cylinders 103 are arranged on the upper surface of the lower cabinet 101. The gas rods of the two first lifting cylinders 103 are connected to the frame of the conveyor 2 to realize the stable lifting of the conveyor 2. Four sliders are arranged on the side of the conveyor 2, and the lower cabinet 101 is provided with grooved legs matching the four sliders. When the first lifting cylinder 103 is in motion, the slider can slide up and down along the legs to play a guiding role.
[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the weighing device 3 includes a weighing sensor 301, a bearing plate 302 and a bearing bracket 303 fixedly arranged on the lower cabinet 101 (which can be fixed by bolts). The upper and lower surfaces of the weighing sensor 301 are respectively connected to the bearing plate 302 and the bearing bracket 303 by bolts, and the bearing bracket 303 plays a load-bearing role.
[0045] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the thickness measuring device 4 includes a door frame 401 fixed to the lower cabinet 101 by bolts, a servo module 402 is bolted to the middle of the upper part of the door frame 401, the servo module 402 is located just above the center position of the conveyor 2, the slider of the servo module 402 is connected to the first sensor bracket 403 by bolts, six upper thickness measuring sensors 404 are installed on the first sensor bracket 403, the six upper thickness measuring sensors 404 form an array of two rows and two columns, and the top surface size of the smallest refractory brick is larger than the area formed by the six upper thickness measuring sensors 404, thereby ensuring that the six upper thickness measuring sensors 404 all have measurement signal outputs.
[0046] A second sensor bracket 405 is bolted to the bottom surface of the door frame 401. Six lower thickness sensors 406 are fixed to the second sensor bracket 405 through U-shaped clamps, and the lower thickness sensors 406 correspond to the upper thickness sensors 404 in one-to-one position. Four support columns 407 are fixed to the top of the second sensor bracket 405 through screws. These four support columns 407 can be used to support refractory bricks. When the refractory bricks are placed on the four support columns 407, the refractory bricks press down the lower thickness sensor 406, and the telescopic rod of the lower thickness sensor 406 retracts under the action of the spring due to the self-weight of the refractory bricks. At the same time, the telescopic rod of the upper thickness sensor 404 also retracts a certain amount. The retraction amount of the corresponding upper and lower thickness sensors is subtracted to obtain the thickness of the refractory bricks.
[0047] When the material is incoming, the refractory bricks on the conveyor 2 are sometimes not centered on the conveyor 2, and position deviation will occur. Some thickness sensors may not be pressed on the bricks, which ultimately affects the measurement accuracy. In order to ensure that the bricks are in the center position on the conveyor 2 and that all thickness sensors can be pressed on the bricks for measurement, a centering device 408 is designed in this embodiment. The centering device 408 includes a horizontal plate 4081 fixed to the door frame 401, and the horizontal plate 4081 is bolted with a side-by-side clamping cylinder 4082, a first guide rail 4083, and a second guide rail 4084. The first guide rail 4083 is matched with a first slider 4085, and a first connecting plate 4086 is bolted above the first slider 4085. A first rack 4087 and a left clamping jaw 4088 are arranged above the first connecting plate 4086. The first connecting plate 4086 is connected to the gas rod of the clamping jaw cylinder 4082. The second guide rail 4084 is matched with a second slider 4089, a second connecting plate 4090 is bolted on the second slider 4089, a second rack 4091 and a right clamp 4092 are arranged on the second connecting plate 4090, and the first rack 4087 is connected to the second rack 4091 through a gear 4093. In the initial state, the left clamp 4088 and the right clamp 4092 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the conveyor 2. When the gas rod of the clamp cylinder 4082 is retracted, the first rack 4087 and the left clamp 4088 are driven to move toward the central axis of the conveyor 2, and the second rack 4091 and the right clamp 4092 are also driven to move toward the central axis of the conveyor 2 through the gear rack transmission, and finally the offset refractory bricks are adjusted to the central position of the conveyor 2.
[0048] like Figure 7As shown, the stamping device 5 includes an L-shaped bracket 501 fixed to the lower cabinet 101 by bolts, a downward pressure cylinder 502 is arranged at the horizontal part of the L-shaped bracket 501, a downward pressure disc 503 is screwed to the gas rod of the downward pressure cylinder 502, a support frame 504 bolted to the lower cabinet 101 is arranged below the downward pressure disc 503, a first motor 505 is fixed to the support frame 504, and the output shaft of the first motor 505 is connected and fixed to the support block 506. When a normal brick is placed on the support block 506, the first motor 505 does not run. When a trapezoidal brick with a notch appears, when the notch needs to be stamped, the first motor 505 drives the brick to rotate to a suitable position and then stamps.
[0049] The stamping device 5 also includes a second motor 507 fixed to the vertical part of the L-shaped bracket 501 through a motor bracket, the output shaft of the second motor 507 is connected to the stamping cylinder 508, and the gas rod of the stamping cylinder 508 is connected to the stamp head 509. An ink cartridge 510 fixed to the motor bracket is arranged below the stamping cylinder 508, and a sponge full of ink is placed in the ink cartridge 510. When the stamp head 509 needs to be dipped in ink, the second motor 507 rotates to 270°, so that the stamp head 509 is located directly above the ink cartridge 510, and the gas rod of the stamping cylinder 508 extends out of the stamp head 509 to dip in ink. After the ink is dipped, the second motor 507 rotates to 180°, so that the stamp head 509 is facing the refractory brick, and the gas rod of the stamping cylinder 508 extends out to perform the stamping action.
[0050] like Figure 8 As shown, the robot pick-and-place device 6 includes a load frame 601 bolted to the lower cabinet 101 , a second lifting cylinder 602 is fixed to the load frame 601 , and a gas rod of the second lifting cylinder 602 is connected to a grab plate 603 .
[0051] Preferably, a brick surface cleaning device is provided between the weighing device 3 and the thickness measuring device 4, and the device comprises a dust removal brush 7 and an air purge gun 8. The dust removal brush 7 is fixed on the outer wall of the upper shell 102, and the air purge gun 8 is symmetrically fixed on the conveyor frame. The dust removal brush 7 cleans the dust on the refractory bricks, and the air purge gun 8 sprays the dust on the brick surface.
[0052] Here’s how it works:
[0053] When the product enters the equipment, the conveyor 2 transports the refractory bricks to the load-bearing plate 302 of the weighing device 3. At this time, the gas rod of the first lifting cylinder 103 is retracted, so that the load-bearing plate 302 is higher than the surface of the conveyor 2, and the weighing sensor 301 performs weighing. The refractory bricks are then transported to the position of the brick surface cleaning device, where the dust on the brick surface is cleaned by the dual action of the dust removal brush 7 and the air purge gun 8. The products are then transported to the position of the thickness measuring device 4. Since the brick sizes are not uniform, the refractory bricks are first centered by the centering device 408, and the thickness of the refractory bricks is obtained by subtracting the retraction amounts measured by the upper and lower thickness measuring sensors 406. When the stamping device 5 is reached, the downward pressure cylinder 502 is activated, and the downward pressure disc 503 presses the refractory bricks onto the support block 506, fixing the refractory bricks in place, and then starting the second motor 507 to rotate the stamp head 509 to the top of the ink cartridge 510, and the gas rod of the stamping cylinder 508 extends to dip the stamp head 509 in ink, and then starting the second motor 507 to rotate the stamp head 509 to the position facing the refractory bricks, and the gas rod of the stamping cylinder 508 extends to stamp. After the refractory bricks are in place by photoelectric detection, the second lifting cylinder 602 is lifted, and at the same time, the robot grabs the product on the grab plate 603, thus completing the actions of conveying, weighing, cleaning, thickness measurement, stamping and grabbing, and the entire production line moves smoothly and efficiently.
