Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveying equipment, in particular to a device for conveying and tidying bricks after manual unloading. Background Art
[0002] In the construction industry, a large number of bricks are needed. Since the production process of bricks is complicated and requires frequent transportation, even with abundant automated equipment, manual assistance for loading and unloading is still required in some processes due to factors such as cost and site.
[0003] During loading and unloading, multiple workers usually place the bricks on the conveyor belt. After the conveyor belt transports the bricks to the designated area, the robot and professional clamps are used to grab them in batches. The robot works according to the set program and coordinates. In order to ensure the accuracy of the grabbing position and avoid motion interference, the bricks need to be straightened first and then the robot can grab them at the designated position.
[0004] In the prior art, there is a patent application with publication number CN207596081U titled "A Brick and Tile Transfer Device with Stacking and Regularization Function." This patent application describes a device that uses a first conveying mechanism and a second conveying mechanism to convey materials, and a steering structure and regularization mechanism to stack and regularize tiles, further achieving automation and improving production efficiency. The device's angle adjustment is based on a circular diverter, which creates a large gap between the diverter and the long conveyor belt, causing product dropouts. This device is not suitable for large products such as bricks. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a conveying and tidying device after manual brick unloading, which adjusts the position of the conveyed materials by arranging a buffer mechanism and a tidying mechanism downstream of the conveying mechanism, facilitates precise clamping of the manipulator and the clamp, and helps improve the automation efficiency.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a device for conveying and straightening bricks after manual unloading, comprising a frame, a conveying mechanism and a straightening mechanism; the straightening mechanism is located downstream of the conveying mechanism, and a buffer mechanism is also provided in the middle of the straightening mechanism; the straightening mechanism comprises a power cylinder and side push rods and a blank-blocking rod connected to the power cylinder, the side push rods are located on both sides of the conveying mechanism in the width direction, and are used to gather the material to the middle; the blank-blocking rod is located at the end of the conveying mechanism in the length direction, and is used to gather the material to the front; the buffer mechanism comprises a buffer speed-down plate and a support roller, the buffer speed-down plate is located behind the support roller, and is used to reduce the moving speed of the material.
[0007] Preferably, the conveying mechanism is a chain plate conveyor belt, including a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt. The first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt share a power motor. The first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt have the same width, and the length of the first conveyor belt is greater than that of the second conveyor belt.
[0008] Preferably, limiting stop rods are further arranged on both sides of the conveying structure, and the limiting stop rods are connected to the machine frame through rod adjusting seats.
[0009] Preferably, there are two sets of power cylinders on each side, and there are two side push rods and two blank blocking rods respectively. Arc chamfers extending outward are further arranged on both sides of the side push rods.
[0010] Preferably, the power cylinders are connected to the machine frame through power cylinder adjusting seats, and a protective plate is further arranged at the upper end of the power cylinder adjusting seats.
[0011] Preferably, adjusting legs are arranged at the bottom of the machine frame. The adjusting legs include adjusting bottom plates and adjusting bolts, and the adjusting legs are fixedly connected to the adjusting bottom plates through a plurality of the adjusting bolts.
[0012] Preferably, the supporting idler roller includes a supporting plate and a circular roller. The supporting plate is located between a plurality of circular rollers, and the end face of the supporting plate is a plane.
[0013] Preferably, a plurality of material pushing flat keys are further arranged on the chain plate conveyor belt, and the height of the material pushing flat keys is higher than the conveying end face of the chain plate conveyor belt.
[0014] After adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial technical effects achieved by the present utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. Since the equipment of the present utility model is partially improved on the basis of a traditional chain plate conveyor belt, almost all parts can be obtained by outsourcing during the improvement. That is, on the existing production line, a buffer mechanism and a shaping mechanism are added to meet the use requirements of automated equipment.
[0016] 2. The volume of some workpieces is relatively large. When transported by a conveyor belt, due to inertia, they will slide a certain distance. Due to the setting of the buffer mechanism, for brick blank workpieces with large volume and large inertia, they are buffered first and then shaped by the shaping mechanism. Therefore, the brick blanks will not generate a large impact force on the cylinders in the shaping mechanism, protecting the equipment and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0017] 3. Since the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt driven by the same power motor are provided, and the lengths of the two conveyor belts are inconsistent, multiple worker stations can be set at the vacant positions. In this way, for a conveyor belt with a very large width, it will be easier for workers to place the brick blanks, and the placed brick blanks all enter the buffer mechanism through the same outlet. Therefore, after the buffer mechanism and the regularizing mechanism jointly adjust multiple brick blanks, they are then grasped by the manipulator, with higher efficiency.
[0018] 4. Since a number of material pushing flat keys are also provided on the chain conveyor belt, and the height of the material pushing flat keys is higher than the conveying end face of the chain conveyor belt, when placing brick blank materials, the angle can be adjusted during the conveying process. When the brick blanks reach the downstream regularizing structure, the angle will not be inclined too much, thus avoiding the situation where the regularizing mechanism cannot organize them.

[0028] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.
[0029] See Figures 1-4, the utility model provides a conveying and rectifying device after manual brick unloading, which includes a frame 4, a conveying mechanism and a rectifying mechanism 2; the frame 4 is used to support the conveying mechanism and the rectifying mechanism 2, and the conveying mechanism is generally a chain plate conveyor belt 1, which is a prior art. According to the length of the actual working area, a suitable model can be selected and appropriately modified.
[0030] The rectifying mechanism 2 is located downstream of the conveying mechanism, and a buffer mechanism 3 is also provided in the middle of the rectifying mechanism 2; the rectifying mechanism 2 includes a power cylinder 21, a side push rod 22 and a blank blocking rod 23 connected to the power cylinder 21. The side push rods 22 are located on both sides in the width direction of the conveying mechanism and are used to gather the materials towards the middle; the blank blocking rod 23 is located at the end in the length direction of the conveying mechanism and is used to gather the materials forward; the buffer mechanism 3 includes a buffer deceleration plate 31 and a support roller. The buffer deceleration plate 31 is located behind the support roller and is used to reduce the moving speed of the materials. Taking brick blanks as an example, the conveying mechanism conveys the brick blanks into the downstream buffer mechanism 3, and the support roller and the deceleration plate decelerate the brick blanks through friction to avoid a large impact collision with the blank blocking rod 23 at the end directly. The blank blocking rod 23 pushes the brick blanks forward for a certain distance, and the side push rods 22 on both sides gather the brick blanks towards the middle and push them to the specified position. In this way, the final position of the brick blanks can meet the clamping requirements of the manipulator, and after accurate positioning, when grabbing, even if the manipulator shakes slightly, there will still be no interference phenomenon, improving safety. The power sources of the blank blocking rod 23 and the side push rod 22 are generally air cylinders, and any one of an electric cylinder and an oil cylinder can also be used. Since the volume of the brick blanks is relatively large, to increase stability, the number of blank blocking rods 23 is two, which are installed vertically and are simultaneously pushed by two groups of air cylinders as the power cylinder 21. The same is true for the side push rods 22. There are two side push rods 22 on each side, which are respectively pushed by two groups of air cylinders as the power cylinder 21. The extended lengths of the power cylinders 21 are the same. When installing, generally, they are fixed to the bracket 4 through the power cylinder adjustment seat. By adjusting the position of the power cylinder adjustment seat, the consistency of the positions of the brick blanks after rectification is ensured.
[0031] The conveying mechanism of the present utility model is a chain plate conveyor belt 1, which includes a first conveyor belt 11 and a second conveyor belt 12. The first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 share a power motor. The first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 have the same width, and the length of the first conveyor belt 11 is greater than that of the second conveyor belt 12. The chain plate conveyor belt 1 is a mature prior art. Since workers need to stand at position 5 and the width of some of the chain plate conveyor belts 1 is extremely large, it is very difficult to place the brick blanks at a relatively far position from one direction. Therefore, although the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 use the same driving motor to ensure the consistency of the movement speed, their lengths are different. The position in the middle of the two conveyor belts is the worker's standing position 5. In this way, two rows of workers can stand at one time. One row of workers stands at the middle worker's standing position 5 of the chain plate conveyor belt 1, and the other row of workers stands on the outside. The number of bricks unloaded is two rows, which will be relatively labor-saving. The two rows of workers will place two rows of brick blanks, and after summarizing and regularizing, at least two groups will be simultaneously grabbed by the manipulator, so the efficiency will be higher.
[0032] In order to improve the regularization effect, a number of feeding flat keys 14 are also provided on the end face of the chain plate conveyor belt 1. The feeding flat keys 14 have a certain height and are used for assisting in feeding. When contacting the brick blanks, they can pre-arrange the brick blanks. When driving the brick blanks to move, they fit the end face thereof and adjust the angle. In this way, when the brick blanks reach the subsequent regularization mechanism 2, the inclined angle will not be too large, and after being pushed, they can be quickly aligned, which is beneficial for grasping.
[0033] Limit stop rods 13 are also provided on both sides of the conveying structure of the present utility model. The limit stop rods 13 are connected to the machine frame 4 through rod adjusting seats. The limit stop rods 13 play a protective role to prevent the brick blanks from falling.
[0034] On each side of the present utility model, there are two sets of power cylinders 21 respectively, and the numbers of side push rods 22 and blank blocking rods 23 are both two. Arc chamfers extending outward are also provided on both sides of the side push rods 22. The arc chamfers are to avoid movement interference with adjacent brick blanks when adjusting the position.
[0035] The power cylinders 21 of the present utility model are connected to the machine frame 4 through power cylinder adjusting seats, and a protective plate 24 is also provided at the upper end of the power cylinder adjusting seats. The grasping range of the manipulator is relatively large, especially during the initial debugging. In order to protect the power cylinders 21, the protective plate 24 needs to be provided.
[0036] Adjusting legs are provided at the bottom of the machine frame 4 of the present utility model. The adjusting legs include an adjusting bottom plate 41 and adjusting bolts. The adjusting legs are fixedly connected to the adjusting bottom plate 41 through a plurality of adjusting bolts. In the drawings, for the convenience of display, the distance is shortened and a sectional view is adopted. The height of the adjusting legs is to meet the needs of the site. According to the actual site needs, by changing the position height of the adjusting bottom plate 41 and fixing it with adjusting bolts, the height adjustment of the end face of the chain plate conveyor belt 1 is realized.
[0037] The supporting idler of the utility model comprises a supporting plate 32 and a circular idler 33. The supporting plate 32 is located between a plurality of circular idlers 33, and the end face of the supporting plate 32 is a plane. The main function of the supporting plate 32 is not only to play a supporting role, but also to have a plane at the upper end. Cooperating with the buffer deceleration plate 31, the deceleration of the brick blank can be realized. After the deceleration is completed, the supporting plate 32 and the circular idler 33 together serve as a temporary support frame to place the brick blank. The main function of the circular idler 33 is to reduce the friction generated during pushing when it is convenient to push the brick blank to a specified position.
[0038] Certainly, the utility model can also have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and deformations according to the utility model. However, these corresponding changes and deformations should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the utility model.
