Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tile blank transportation, in particular to a tile blank stacking device. Background Art

[0002] The tile making process generally includes mud refining, extrusion, cutting, stamping, drying and other processes. The stamping is carried out by a tile press. The stamped tiles are moved to the tile output belt by a robot, and the tiles are arranged and output on the tile output belt. The specified number of tiles arranged and output to the specified location are uniformly stacked by the robot on a pallet or drying car, and transferred to the drying room for batch drying. After drying, the tiles are unloaded to the designated location for stacking, and the drying car is used in a circular manner.

[0003] At present, the unloading of tiles after drying is mainly done manually. Since the height of each layer of the drying car is relatively small, the deeper depth will increase the difficulty of manual removal of tiles, so usually only two rows of tiles are placed on each layer, and after the tiles of each layer on one side are manually unloaded, the drying car is rotated 180° on the spot, and then the tiles of each layer on the other side are unloaded. Since the tiles are laid in overlapping connection with each other during use, and their two ends are respectively protruding and concave, it is relatively easy to take the protruding end when manually taking the tiles, so if the two rows of tiles on the drying car are 180° symmetrical and both have the protruding ends facing outward, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of manual unloading of tiles and improve the efficiency of tile unloading. To this end, it should be considered to solve the above problems by means of achieving a 180° symmetrical posture of the two rows of tiles on the drying car. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. In the following detailed description, exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described only by way of illustration. It is undoubted that one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the claims.

[0024] Embodiment 1: Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the green tile stacking device is arranged between the green tile output device 92 and the bearing structure 93, and is used to stack the green tiles 8 on the green tile output device 92 onto the bearing structure 93. The green tile output device 92 is usually in the form of a conveyor belt, and the formed green tiles 8 are placed on the conveyor belt to form rows of output. The bearing structure 93 is a tray 94 or a drying car 95. In this embodiment, the tray 94 is used for illustration; of course, the tray 94 with two rows of green tiles 8 stacked on it is eventually loaded into the drying car 95 as a whole, and also enters the drying room as a whole in the form of the drying car 95 for drying.

[0025] The device includes a fixed bracket 1, which can be a bracket shared with the green tile output device 92, etc., or a bracket independently set and fixed relative to the bracket of the green tile output device 92, etc., and is not limited here. A tile pick-up and placement feed seat 2 is movably mounted on the fixed bracket 1, and a tile pick-up and placement bracket 3 that is horizontally rotatable is mounted on the tile pick-up and placement feed seat 2. A rotation controller 31 is provided between the tile pick-up and placement bracket 3 and the tile pick-up and placement feed seat 2, and a tile pick-up and placement assembly 32 for picking up and placing green tiles 8 is installed on the tile pick-up and placement bracket 3; a height control mechanism 4 for controlling the height of the pick-up and placement tiles and a position control mechanism 5 for controlling the position of the pick-up and placement tiles are provided between the tile pick-up and placement feed seat 2 and the fixed bracket 1.

[0026] The position control mechanism 5 controls the tile pick-up and placement feeding seat 2 to reach the required position. The position control mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes a transverse sliding seat 51 which is laterally movable and installed on the fixed bracket 1. A transverse position controller 52 is provided between the transverse sliding seat 51 and the fixed bracket 1. A longitudinal sliding seat 53 which is longitudinally movable and installed on the transverse sliding seat 51. A longitudinal position controller 54 is provided between the longitudinal sliding seat 53 and the transverse sliding seat 51. The tile pick-up and placement feeding seat 2 is installed on the longitudinal sliding seat 53. The position control requirement is achieved through the longitudinal and transverse movement position control.

[0027] The movable arrangement of the transverse slide 51 and the longitudinal slide 53 can be realized in the form of a guide rail slide or a guide rod sleeve, etc., which is not limited here. This embodiment is illustrated in the form of a guide rail slide. The transverse position controller 52 and the longitudinal position controller 54 can be realized in the form of a drive cylinder with stroke control, a motor with a spiral drive, a motor with a gear rack drive, or a motor with a chain belt pull, etc., which is not limited here. In this embodiment, the transverse position controller 52 is illustrated in the form of a motor with a chain belt pull, and the longitudinal position controller 54 is illustrated in the form of a motor with a gear rack drive.

[0028] The height control mechanism 4 is used to adjust the height of the tile when the desired position is reached, so that the tile assembly 32 can finally complete the tile picking or placing action. The height control mechanism 4 of this embodiment includes a lifting seat 41 vertically slidably mounted on the longitudinal sliding seat 53, and a height controller 42 is arranged between the lifting seat 41 and the longitudinal sliding seat 53; the tile picking and placing feed seat 2 is fixedly arranged on the lifting seat 41. Among them, the vertical sliding of the lifting seat 41 is also realized in the form of a guide rail slide or a guide rod sleeve, which is not limited here. This embodiment is only illustrated in the form of a guide rail slide. The height controller 42 can be realized in the form of a drive cylinder with stroke control, a motor with spiral transmission, a motor with gear rack transmission, or a motor with chain belt pulling, which is not limited here. This embodiment is only illustrated in the form of a motor with gear rack transmission. In actual application, a stabilizing cylinder can also be installed between the lifting seat 41 and the longitudinal sliding seat 53 to promote smooth lifting.

[0029] The tile taking and placing assembly 32 is used for taking and placing the green tile 8. The tile taking and placing assembly 32 in this embodiment includes a suction nozzle, that is, the tile is taken by sucking the green tile 8 with negative pressure, and the tile is placed by releasing the negative pressure. Of course, the suction nozzle is connected to a control valve and a vacuum pump, etc., and the number of the suction nozzles is also set according to the shape of the actual green tile 8 and the number of tiles taken and placed at a single time. The above are all well known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here. Of course, the tile taking and placing assembly 32 can also be implemented by a structure including a tile fork, which is inserted under the green tile 8 to take the tile in a supporting manner, and is placed in a designated position and then pulled out from under the green tile 8 to place the tile. Therefore, when taking the tile, after the height control mechanism 4 controls the tile fork to reach a height that can be forked, the position control mechanism 5 needs to control the horizontal movement so that the tile fork is inserted under the green tile 8 to achieve the purpose of forking; of course, the action is opposite when placing the tile.

[0030] The following is a specific application scenario to further illustrate the structural principle.

[0031] like Figure 7As shown, in this application scenario, this embodiment is used in conjunction with two green tile output devices 92, and six green tiles 8 are taken from each green tile output device 92 and placed on the middle tray 94. Each green tile output device 92 is equipped with a tile press 91 upstream, and the green tiles 8 pressed and formed on the tile press 91 are moved to the corresponding green tile output device 92, and each time a green tile 8 is moved, the green tile output device 92 is stepped and transported a distance, and finally the green tiles 8 are arranged in rows on the green tile output device 92. The tray 94 is transported laterally by the empty tray conveying device 96, and each time a tray 94 is filled, an empty tray 94 is transferred over by the relevant mechanical action; and the full tray 94 is transferred to the full tray conveying device 97 on the other side by the relevant mechanical action for output.

[0032] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown in the figure, after six green tiles 8 of the green tile output device 92 on the lower side have reached the designated position, the position control mechanism 5 controls the tile pick-up and placement feed seat 2 to reach above the center position of the six green tiles 8. During this process, the rotation controller 31 controls the tile pick-up and placement bracket 3 to rotate clockwise to a position parallel to the green tile output device 92. The height control mechanism 4 controls the tile pick-up and placement feed seat 2 to descend until the tile pick-up and placement assembly 32 reaches a height that can absorb green tiles 8, and the tile pick-up and placement assembly 32 absorbs six green tiles 8. The height control mechanism 4 controls the tile pick-up and placement feed seat 2 to rise to a certain height, and the position control mechanism 5 controls the tile pick-up and placement feed seat 2 to move to the first row of green tiles 8 placement position on the tray 94; during the movement, the tile pick-up and placement bracket 3 is driven to rotate 90° counterclockwise. After reaching the position, the height control mechanism 4 controls the tile feeding seat 2 to descend until the green tile 8 reaches the surface of the tray 94, the tile picking assembly 32 releases the adsorption effect, and the first row of six green tiles 8 are placed on the tray 94. The height control mechanism 4 controls the tile picking and placing feed seat 2 to rise.

[0033] Based on this, the tiles are placed straight up and down above the tray 94. Preferably, the tile picking and placing assembly 32 is located in the middle of the tile picking and placing bracket 3 to improve the balance of the tile picking and placing bracket 3 during the tile picking and placing process.

[0034] After six green tiles 8 of the green tile output device 92 on the upper side of the figure arrive at the designated position, the position control mechanism 5 controls the pick-and-place tile feed seat 2 to arrive above the center position of the six green tiles 8. During this process, the rotation controller 31 controls the pick-and-place tile support 3 to rotate counterclockwise to a position parallel to the green tile output device 92. The height control mechanism 4 controls the pick-and-place tile feed seat 2 to descend until the pick-and-place tile assembly 32 reaches a height that can absorb the green tiles 8, and the pick-and-place tile assembly 32 absorbs six green tiles 8. The height control mechanism 4 controls the pick-and-place tile feed seat 2 to rise to a certain height, and the position control mechanism 5 controls the pick-and-place tile feed seat 2 to move to the second row of green tiles 8 on the tray 94. During the movement, the pick-and-place tile support 3 is driven to rotate 90° clockwise. After arriving at the position, the height control mechanism 4 controls the pick-and-place tile feed seat 2 to descend until the green tiles 8 arrive near the surface of the tray 94, and the pick-and-place tile assembly 32 releases the adsorption effect, and the first row of six green tiles 8 are placed on the tray 94. At this point, the two rows of green tiles 8 are stacked on the tray 94 in a 180° symmetrical posture, and both of them have the raised ends 81 facing outwards.

[0035] After the next tray 94 arrives, the above working principle is repeated.

[0036] Therefore, in this embodiment, the position control mechanism 5 controls the tile feeding seat 2 to move back and forth between the tile blank output device 92 and the bearing structure 93, and the height control mechanism 4 enables the tile picking and placing assembly 32 to reach the height of picking and placing tiles, so as to achieve picking of tiles at the tile blank output device 92 and placing of tiles at the bearing structure 93. The horizontal rotation control of the tile picking and placing bracket 3 can be respectively performed in the forward and reverse directions after two adjacent tile pickings, so as to achieve the stacking of two rows of tiles 8 on the bearing structure 93 in a 180° symmetrical posture, so that subsequent manual labor is convenient to take the raised end 81 of the tile to unload the tile, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of unloading the tile in the later stage and improving the efficiency of unloading the tile.

[0037] Embodiment 2: Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the bearing structure 93 is a drying car 95, and in this embodiment, the green tiles 8 on the green tile output device 92 are directly placed on the drying car 95. Based on the position of the drying car 95, the structure in the position control mechanism 5 is transformed in an equivalent form, such as setting the transverse movement on the longitudinal movement structure, and changing the longitudinal movement position controller 54 to a motor with a gear rack transmission.

[0038] The specific principle is as follows: after six tiles 8 on the tile output device 92 on the lower side of the figure arrive at the specified position, the position control mechanism 5 controls the tile feeding seat 2 to move toward the six tiles 8, and the tile picking and placing bracket 3 is driven to rotate 90° counterclockwise, and cooperates with the height control of the height control mechanism 4 to realize the tile picking of the tile picking and placing assembly 32; after picking up the tiles, the position control mechanism 5 controls the tile picking and placing feed seat 2 to move toward the drying car 95, and the tile picking and placing bracket 3 is driven to rotate 90° clockwise, and cooperates with the longitudinal movement control of the longitudinal position controller 54, the tile picking and placing bracket 3 is inserted into the space above the target layer in the drying car 95, and the six tiles 8 are finally placed on the side of the target layer away from the present embodiment; after six tiles 8 on the tile output device 92 on the upper side of the figure arrive at the specified position, the tiles are picked up clockwise first and then returned counterclockwise, so that the tile picking and placing bracket 3 is inserted into the space above the target layer in the drying car 95 again, and the six tiles 8 are finally placed on the side of the target layer close to the present embodiment. Finally, the two rows of green tiles 8 of the target layer are stacked in a 180° symmetrical posture, and the raised ends 81 are all facing outward. According to the above working principle, the multiple layers on the drying car 95 are stacked sequentially. Based on the requirement that the tile pick-up and placement bracket 3 needs to be inserted into the space between the layers of the drying car 95, the tile pick-up and placement assembly 32 of this embodiment is located at one end of the tile pick-up and placement bracket 3.

[0039] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. The technicians in this industry should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the description only illustrate the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model will also have various changes and improvements, such as the application scenario of a tile blank output device 92 rotating forward and reversely in sequence to place tiles, and the tile blank output device 92 generates different rotation angles of the tile bracket 3 at different positions on the side of the tray 94, and the position control mechanism 5 only needs to be set to lateral or longitudinal movement, and only one tile blank 8 is taken and placed at a time, etc. These changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
