Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tile production, and in particular relates to a protective mechanism for automatically loading tiles. Background Art

[0002] The belt conveyor is used to transport and load the tiles. The loading robot uses the electric suction cup on its mechanical arm to absorb the tiles and transfer them to the belt conveyor line. The traditional technology is to directly contact the tiles with the belt conveyor for loading;

[0003] The tiles are in direct contact with the conveyor belt, which easily causes friction and collision, resulting in damage or breakage of the tile surface. The movement and positioning of the tiles are not accurate enough, which easily causes deviation or tilt, affecting production efficiency and product quality. The position and angle of the tiles need to be adjusted frequently, which increases manual intervention and operation difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 To further explain this application in detail,

[0035] The embodiment of the present application discloses a protective mechanism for automatic tile loading, comprising a belt conveyor 1 for conveying and loading tiles 22, wherein a buffer pad 4 driven up and down by a lifting cylinder 3 is provided at the feeding end of the belt conveyor 1 and located on both sides of two belt conveyor lines 2;

[0036] The frame 8 of the belt conveyor 1 is provided with a screw linear module 7 on both sides for pushing the limiting wheels 6 on both sides to translate;

[0037] The lifting cylinder 3 pushes the buffer plate 4 up to buffer the tiles 22 loaded by the loading robot onto the two belt conveyor lines 2, and the screw linear module 7 drives the limiting wheel 6 to translate toward the direction of the tile 22 to guide and limit the edge of the tile 22 being loaded.

[0038] The lifting cushion plate 4 pushed up and down by the lifting cylinder 3 can cushion the tiles 22 loaded by the loading robot, thereby reducing the impact force on the tiles 22 during the loading process, reducing the risk of damage to the tiles 22, and protecting the integrity of the tiles 22.

[0039] After the tile 22 is loaded onto the belt conveyor line 2, the lifting cylinder 3 pushes the buffer plate 4 downward and away from the frame 8, and then the screw linear module 7 and the limiting wheel 6 are used to drive the limiting wheel 6 to move in the direction of the tile 22 through the action of the screw linear module 7, thereby guiding and limiting the edge of the tile 22 being loaded. In this way, the tile 22 can be ensured to maintain a stable position during the conveying process, avoid the tile 22 from deflecting or tilting, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of conveying.

[0040] Two vertical plates 9 are arranged at the center of the top of the frame 8 to form a U-shaped groove with the frame 8, and a plurality of conveying rollers 10 are arranged equidistantly between the two vertical plates 9 for rotation.

[0041] The cooperation between the vertical plate 9 and the conveying roller 10 can form a stable conveying channel. After the tiles 22 smoothly enter the two belt conveyor lines 2, they are assisted by the conveying roller 10 for conveyance.

[0042] On both sides of the feeding end of the frame 8, mounting seats 11 are provided. Two lifting cylinders 3 are provided on each mounting seat 11, and lifting plates 12 are respectively provided at the piston rod ends of the two lifting cylinders 3. A buffer cushion plate 4 is located on the lifting plate 12. The buffer cushion plate 4 is a rubber pad or a soft plastic pad.

[0043] The buffer cushion plate 4 is located on the lifting plate 12, which can effectively reduce the impact force received by the ceramic tile 22 during the feeding process, reduce the risk of damage to the ceramic tile 22, protect the integrity of the ceramic tile 22. Through the design of the lifting cylinder 3 and the lifting plate 12, the rapid adjustment of the buffer cushion plate 4 can be realized, so that the buffer cushion plate 4 is lifted to be flush with the upper surface of the belt conveyor 2 when the ceramic tile 22 is fed. After the ceramic tile 22 is fed, the buffer cushion plate 4 moves downward and away from the upper surface of the belt conveyor 2, without hindering the belt conveyor 2 from conveying the ceramic tile 22, making the buffer cushion plate 4 always maintain a proper position, improving the stability and feeding efficiency of the whole equipment.

[0044] The buffer cushion plate 4 is usually made of materials such as rubber or soft plastic. These materials have good buffer performance and can effectively absorb the impact force generated during the feeding and conveying process of the ceramic tile 22 by the feeding robot, reducing the damage and breakage of the ceramic tile 22. At the same time, these materials also have good wear resistance and weather resistance and can be used for a long time in various environments. Through the buffering effect of the buffer cushion plate 4, the direct collision between the ceramic tile 22 and the conveying equipment can be reduced, and the probability of damage and breakage of the ceramic tile 22 can be lowered.

[0045] A number of limiting wheels 6 are provided and rotatably arranged on the U-shaped plate 13. The lead screw linear module 7 is fixed on the frame 8, and the moving seat 14 on the lead screw linear module 7 is fixedly connected with the U-shaped plate 13. Moving slides 15 are also provided on both sides of the frame 8, and the sliders 16 on both sides of the U-shaped plate 13 are in guiding sliding fit with the moving slides 15.

[0046] By fixing the lead screw linear module 7 and connecting the U-shaped plate 13, the linear movement of the U-shaped plate 13 can be ensured, improving the guiding accuracy and stability. The matching design of the slider 16 and the moving slide 15 reduces friction and wear during the translation of the U-shaped plate 13, extends the service life of the equipment, and reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0047] On the frame 8, there is a left - and - right - hand thread lead screw 18 driven to rotate by a self - locking hand crank wheel 17. The bases of the two belt conveyors 2 are respectively fixedly connected with the moving supports 19 on the left - and - right - hand thread lead screw 18. By rotating the left - and - right - hand thread lead screw 18, the two belt conveyors 2 move towards each other or away from each other;

[0048] Guide rods 20 are provided on both sides of the frame 8, and guide blocks 21 that are in sliding guiding fit with the guide rods 20 are provided on the bases of the two belt conveyors 2.

[0049] By driving the forward and reverse screw rods 18 with a hand-cranked wheel, the belt conveyor line 2 can be precisely adjusted and controlled to ensure the synchronous movement of the two conveyor lines, thereby improving the precision and accuracy of the operation. Through the design of the forward and reverse screw rods 18 and the movable support 19, the spacing between the two belt conveyor lines 2 can be adjusted according to different work requirements to adapt to tiles 22 of different sizes and production requirements.

[0050] The coordinated design of the guide rod 20 and the guide block 21 can ensure the stable guidance of the belt conveyor line 2, prevent the tiles 22 from shifting or tilting during transportation, and improve the accuracy and stability of transportation. The design of the self-locking hand wheel 17 can keep the adjusted position and spacing stable without the need for additional fixing measures, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the equipment.

[0051] When in use, the loading robot absorbs the tile 22 through the electric suction cup on its mechanical arm and transfers it to the belt conveyor line 2, and then pushes the buffer plate 4 up to be flush with the upper surface of the belt conveyor line 2 through the jacking cylinder 3. Then the loading robot absorbs the tile 22 through the electric suction cup on its mechanical arm and transfers it to the belt conveyor line 2. The buffer plate 4 reduces the impact force on the tile 22 during the loading process, protects the integrity of the tile 22, and improves the loading efficiency. After the transfer, the buffer plate 4 moves down away from the belt conveyor line 2, and the screw linear module 7 is fixed on the frame 8. The screw linear module 7 drives the profile plate 13 and the limit wheel 6 to translate in the direction of the tile 22, guides and limits the edge of the tile 22, ensures that the tile 22 maintains a stable position during the transportation process, avoids deviation or tilt, and improves the transportation accuracy and efficiency. The vertical plate 9 and the conveying roller 10 cooperate to form a stable conveying channel, and the tile 22 is assisted by the conveying roller 10 to provide a smooth conveying path to ensure that the tile 22 enters the belt conveyor line 2 smoothly.

[0052] The self-locking hand wheel 17 drives the forward and reverse screw rods 18 to achieve precise adjustment and control of the belt conveyor line 2, so that the distance between the two belt conveyor lines 2 can adapt to tiles 22 of different sizes and production requirements, thereby improving the precision and accuracy of operation.

[0053] The protective mechanism for automatic tile loading can effectively reduce the impact force on the tile 22 during loading through the design of the buffer pad 4, protect the integrity of the tile 22, and improve the loading efficiency. At the same time, the design of the screw linear module 7 and the limiting wheel 6 can ensure that the tile 22 maintains a stable position during the transportation process, avoids deviation or tilt, and improves the transportation accuracy and efficiency.

[0054] The design of the movable slide 15 and the slider 16 as well as the design of the positive and negative threaded rods 18 and the movable support 19 can improve the stability and reliability of the equipment. The design of the self-locking hand-cranked wheel 17 makes the adjusted position and spacing remain stable, without the need for additional fixing measures, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement. The positive and negative threaded rods 18 rotate to drive the two belt conveyor lines 2 to move closer or farther away from each other, which can achieve precise adjustment and control of the belt conveyor line 2, ensure the synchronous movement of the two conveyor lines, and adapt to tiles 22 of different sizes and production requirements.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
