DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the present utility model in combination with the drawings and the descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following descriptions of the structures of the drawings are only some embodiments of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings. It should be noted here that the descriptions of these embodiments are used to help understand the present utility model, but do not constitute a limitation to the present utility model.

[0024] Embodiment:

[0025] As Figure 1-5 shown, this embodiment provides a full-automatic die-casting island, including a die-casting machine 100 and an industrial control computer. Die-cast workpieces 900 are produced in the die-casting machine 100. A six-axis robot 400 is arranged at the discharge port of the die-casting machine 100. An air-cooling rack 200 is arranged on one side of the six-axis robot 400, and a slag-removing and bale-handling machine 600 is arranged on the opposite side. The six-axis robot, the air-cooling rack 200, and the slag-removing and bale-handling machine 600 are arranged in a straight line and are all arranged on one side of the slag conveying line 300. A finished product conveying line 500 is arranged at the top of the slag conveying line 300 and opposite to the slag-removing and bale-handling machine 600. The slag discharge port of the slag-removing and bale-handling machine 600 is arranged facing the top surface of the slag conveying line 300. A three-axis blanking manipulator 800 is arranged on the top of the slag-removing and bale-handling machine 600;

[0026] The workpiece 900 is transferred from the die-casting machine 100 to the air-cooling rack 200 by the six-axis robot 400 for air-cooling; the workpiece 900 is transferred from the air-cooling rack 200 to the slag-removing and bale-handling machine 600 by the six-axis robot 400 for slag-removing, bale-making, and handle-making; the workpiece 900 is transferred from the slag-removing and bale-handling machine 600 to the finished product conveying line 500 by the three-axis blanking manipulator 800.

[0027] Specifically, as Figure 1 、 5 shown, after the molten iron is fed into the die-casting machine 100 by the ladle furnace and cast into the workpiece 900, the workpiece 900 is taken out of the die-casting machine 100 by the six-axis robot 400, and is placed into the air-cooling rack 200 one by one in the order from top to bottom or from bottom to top to cool the temperature of the workpiece 900 by air-cooling. Then, the cooled workpiece 900 is taken by the six-axis robot 400 according to the rule of first in first out, transferred and placed on the positioning fixture 609 of the slag-removing and bale-handling machine 600 to remove the slag bale and handle on the workpiece 900. After that, the processed workpiece 900 is taken out by the three-axis blanking manipulator 800 and transferred to the finished product conveying line 500 for transportation to the next production process. The slag bales and handles are centrally collected and processed through the slag conveying line 300; the whole process is monitored by the industrial control computer, thus effectively reducing the manual labor amount, reducing the occurrence of safety accidents, and at the same time significantly improving the production efficiency of die-castings and increasing the production output of finished products;

[0028] Secondly, to further improve the output and productivity, two sets of this full-automatic die-casting islands are arranged in parallel, which are arranged on both sides of the slag conveying line 300, and a set of shared three-axis blanking manipulator 800 is installed between the tops of the two slag-removing and bale-handling machines 600 to transfer the processed workpieces 900, so as to reasonably improve the productivity, save the equipment construction cost at the same time, with a compact structure, small floor area, and relatively low construction cost.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, further, the air-cooling rack 200 includes a frame body 201. A plurality of clamping seats 203 are arranged on the front surface of the frame body 201 in a rectangular array along the vertical direction. A clamping cylinder 204 is arranged on one side of the clamping seat 203. The end of the telescopic shaft of the clamping cylinder 204 extends into the interior of the clamping seat 203. Cooling fans 202 are arranged on the left and right sides of the frame body 201 and corresponding to each row of clamping seats 203.

[0030] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, after the workpiece 900 is grasped by the six-axis robot 400 and transferred into the clamping seat 203, the telescopic shaft of the clamping cylinder 204 is extended through the control of the industrial control computer to fix it with the clamping seat 203. Then, the workpiece 900 is air-cooled by the cooling fan 202 on one side. The principle of "first in, first out" is implemented during the picking process, so that the whole process is in good order, which is beneficial to the smooth progress of the entire automated process.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, further, the slag-removing and blanking handle machine 600 includes an installation frame 604. A positioning fixture 609 is arranged in the middle of the installation frame 604. The workpiece 900 is placed on the top of the positioning fixture 609 through the six-axis robot 400. A slag package stamping oil cylinder 601 and a handle stamping oil cylinder 602 are fixedly installed on the top of the installation frame 604. The bottom ends of the telescopic shafts of the slag package stamping oil cylinder 601 and the handle stamping oil cylinder 602 penetrate into the installation frame 604 and are respectively fixedly installed with a stamping plate one 603 and a stamping plate two 608. Breaking rods 606 are arranged at the bottom of the stamping plate one 603 corresponding to each slag package of the workpiece 900. A breaking rod 605 is arranged at the bottom of the stamping plate two 608 corresponding to the handle of the workpiece 900. A slag hopper 607 is arranged at the inner bottom of the installation frame 604. The discharge port side of the slag hopper 607 is opened and is arranged directly opposite the top of the slag conveying line 300.

[0032] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the slag package stamping oil cylinder 601 and the handle stamping oil cylinder 602 are controlled by the industrial control computer to extend simultaneously, so as to drive the stamping plate one 603 and the stamping plate two 608 to descend simultaneously. Then, the breaking rod 605 and the breaking rod 606 arranged at the bottom of the two are aligned with the slag package and the handle of the workpiece 900 to break them. As a result, the slag package and the handle fall into the slag hopper 607 and are discharged from the side opening into the slag conveying line 300 for centralized collection and treatment. The workpiece 900 after slag removal is transferred to the finished product conveying line 500 by the three-axis blanking manipulator 800 and transported to the next link. The whole process is free of manual operation, so that the safety protection structure of the equipment can be made as simple as possible, thereby further improving the automation degree and reducing the equipment manufacturing cost.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, further, the three-axis blanking robotic arm 800 includes a load-bearing frame 802.

A transverse servo slide 805 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the follower frame 803 by bearings. The transverse servo slide 805 is driven to rotate by the rotating motor 804. A negative pressure suction cup 806 is fixedly installed at the sliding end of the transverse servo slide 805. The transverse servo slide 805 adsorbs and fixes the top of the workpiece 900 through the negative pressure suction cup 806. By setting the lifting servo slide 801 and the transverse servo slide 805 and cooperating with the use of the negative pressure suction cup 806, the three-axis blanking robotic arm 800 can move between two slag-removing and blanking handle machines 600 to suck and transfer the workpiece 900, improving production efficiency.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, further, a protective housing 807 is installed outside the load-bearing frame 802, and the load-bearing frame 802, the follower frame 803, and the lifting servo slide 801 are all inside the protective housing.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, further, there are two sets of fully automatic die-casting islands, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the slag conveying line 300. The two sets of fully automatic die-casting islands share one set of three-axis blanking robotic arms 800. An installation frame 700 is fixedly installed between the tops of the two slag-removing and blanking handle machines 600. The load-bearing frame 802 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the installation frame 700.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, further, the die-casting machine 100, the air-cooling frame 200, the slag conveying line 300, the six-axis robot 400, the finished product conveying line 500, the slag-removing and blanking handle machine 600, and the three-axis blanking robotic arm 800 are all electrically connected to the industrial control machine through wires.
