Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tire production equipment, in particular to a protective device for preventing a vulcanizing manipulator from sliding down. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, both tire loading and unloading on the vulcanizer require the use of a robot to perform gripping actions. To ensure operational safety, anti-slip protection measures need to be put in place when the equipment is shut down. Currently, the upper mold has a locking device that can be used to lock the mold after it is opened to prevent the mold from sliding down and causing harm. However, the robot lacks safety measures. When replacing the capsule, the robot is prone to sliding down and injuring people. When the tire is being molded, the robot slides down and produces waste. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a protective device for preventing a vulcanizing robot from sliding down, thereby solving the quality and safety problems caused by the sliding down of the robot in the prior art.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: a protective device to prevent a vulcanizing manipulator from sliding down, comprising a manipulator column bracket, a manipulator walking guide rail being installed on the manipulator column bracket, a manipulator lifting slide block slidingly cooperating with the manipulator walking guide rail, a grabbing manipulator being installed on the manipulator lifting slide block via a grabbing manipulator rotating device, and characterized in that a position sensor connecting device is fixed on the grabbing manipulator, a position sensor is installed on the position sensor connecting device, column lock holes are evenly distributed on the manipulator column bracket in the vertical direction, a lock cylinder is horizontally fixed below the slider, a lock head is installed on the telescopic rod of the lock cylinder, a lock locking detection switch is installed on the slider on one side of the lock head, the position sensor and the lock locking detection switch are connected to the signal input end of a PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the switch of the lock cylinder.

[0005] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the physical position of the manipulator is locked by the action of the lock cylinder, and the manipulator is prevented from sliding down when the equipment is maintained, shut down, or when handling equipment failure, thereby achieving safety protection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0006] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0007] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of the utility model.

[0008] Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of the anti-slip lock device of the utility model.

[0009] In the figure, 1. grabbing robot, 2. grabbing robot rotating device, 3. robot walking rail, 4. anti-slip lock device, 5. position sensor, 6. position sensor connecting device, 7. robot column bracket, 8. lock cylinder, 9. lock head, 10. column lock hole, 11. lock locking detection switch. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] In the figure, the utility model is provided with a manipulator column bracket 7, a manipulator walking guide rail 3 is installed on the manipulator column bracket 7, the manipulator lifting slider is slidably matched with the manipulator walking guide rail 3, the grabbing manipulator 1 is installed on the manipulator lifting slider through the grabbing manipulator rotating device 2, a position sensor connecting device 6 is fixed on the grabbing manipulator 1, an infrared photoelectric sensing position sensor 5 is installed on the position sensor connecting device 6, and column lock holes 10 are evenly distributed on the manipulator column bracket 7 in the vertical direction, a lock cylinder 8 is horizontally fixed below the slider, a lock head 9 is installed on the telescopic rod of the lock cylinder 8, and an infrared photoelectric sensing lock locking detection switch 11 is installed on the slider on one side of the lock head 9. The position sensor 5 and the lock locking detection switch 11 are connected to the signal input end of the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the switch of the lock cylinder 8.

[0011] When the utility model is used, the grabbing manipulator 1 and the position sensor connecting device 6 slide up and down along the manipulator walking guide rail 3, and the infrared photoelectric sensing position sensor 5 can identify the position of the column lock hole 10 on the manipulator column bracket 7. The position sensor 5 transmits a signal to the PLC processor to display the position of the grabbing manipulator 1, and sets the required locking position. The anti-slipping lock device 4 is actuated by the lock cylinder 8 to drive the lock head 9 into the column lock hole 10 on the manipulator column bracket 7 to complete the locking of the manipulator device and prevent the manipulator from slipping and injuring people. The column lock hole 10 can be opened at different positions according to different needs to meet the locking needs of different positions. The lock locking detection switch 11 is used to detect whether the anti-slipping lock device 4 is in a locked or unlocked state.
