[0002] A flange generally refers to a mechanical connection component used to connect pipelines, valves or equipment. It usually consists of two flange plates and several bolts, and is fixed together by threads or welding to form a sealed connection. Flanges are widely used in the industrial field, especially in pipeline systems, for facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of pipeline systems.

[0003] After the flange is processed, it needs to be blanked and placed at a designated position. This process is usually manually completed by workers using tools, which is time-consuming and laborious, and reduces the processing efficiency of flange production. Summary of the Utility Model

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, a positioning device for flange blanking, a blanking bracket 1, the upper surface of the blanking bracket 1 is laid by a plurality of rollers 2 arranged in an array and is inclined, the blanking end of the blanking bracket 1 is the lowest end of its upper surface, and a receiving base 3 is fixed at the blanking port;

[0024] The top of the receiving base 3 is rotatably connected with a rotating disk 4, a plurality of blanking grooves 5 are formed on the rotating disk 4 and are distributed in an array around its center, the inner wall of the blanking groove 5 matches the shape of the flange, a servo motor 13 capable of driving the rotating disk 4 to rotate is fixed at the bottom of the receiving base 3, the output shaft of the servo motor 13 is fixedly connected with the center position of the rotating disk 4, a track 6 is fixed on one side of the receiving base 3, a robotic arm 7 capable of sliding along the track 6 is provided on the track 6, and an inner diameter grasping device is installed at one end of the robotic arm 7, and the inner diameter grasping device is suspended above the receiving base 3.

[0025] Flanges are widely used in the industrial field, especially in pipeline systems, for facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of pipeline systems. After the flanges are processed, blanking is required. Usually, manual blanking is carried out during the blanking process of flanges, which is very time-consuming and reduces the processing efficiency of flange production.

[0026] In this solution, the blanking support 1 is used for blanking the flange. The user places the blanking support 1 on one side of the blanking area of the processing device. Both ends of multiple rollers 2 can be rotatably connected to the inner end of the blanking support 1. The flange first falls onto the high-end of the blanking support 1 and slides down along the multiple rollers 2, and finally falls onto the low-end of the blanking support 1. The servo motor 13 controls the intermittent rotation of the rotating disk 4. After each rotation, one of the blanking grooves 5 on the rotating disk 4 aligns with the blanking support 1. At this time, the flange sliding off the blanking support 1 falls into the blanking groove 5. The inner cavity of the blanking groove 5 matches the flange, and only one flange can be accommodated in one blanking groove 5. As the rotating disk 4 rotates, the flange in the blanking groove 5 is brought to the other side. At this time, the robotic arm 7 takes out the flange in the blanking groove 5 through the inner diameter grasping component. The inner diameter grasping device cooperates with the inner wall of the flange to take out the flange. After taking out the flange, the robotic arm 7 moves through the track 6 to achieve automatic blanking of the flange. The track 6 can be an electric slide rail. The upper surface of the receiving base 3 is horizontal, which can ensure that the flange is horizontally placed when it is in the blanking groove 5, thereby improving the success rate of grasping by the inner diameter grasping device.

[0027] As Figure 3 shown, the receiving base 3 is provided with a guiding groove 11 at the blanking port. The guiding groove 11 matches the outer shape of the blanking groove 5 and a conveyor belt 12 is fixed inside it. The upper surface of the conveyor belt 12 is at the same horizontal position as the upper surface of the receiving base 3.

[0028] In this solution, the conveyor belt 12 runs continuously, and its conveying direction is towards the inner end of the rotating disk 4. When the flange falls into the blanking groove 5, the bottom end of the flange abuts against the conveyor belt 12. As the conveyor belt 12 runs, it will drive the flange to move towards the inner side of the blanking groove 5, so as to ensure that the flange can completely enter the blanking groove 5 and avoid jamming. Moreover, the upper surface of the conveyor belt 12 is at the same horizontal position as the upper surface of the blanking support 1. When the rotating disk 4 rotates, the flange on the conveyor belt 12 can be smoothly transferred to the receiving base 3. The rear flange will stop on the blanking support 1 and abut against the outer end of this flange. As the rotating disk 4 rotates, when another blanking groove 5 rotates to align with the blanking support 1, the rear flange will continue to fall into the blanking groove 5, so as to ensure stable blanking of the flange.

[0029] A limiting ring 9 is provided around the outer edge of the receiving base 3. The inner wall of the limiting ring 9 is in contact with the outer edge of the rotating disk 4 and a notch 10 matching the outer shape of the guiding groove 11 is provided at the guiding groove 11.

[0030] In this solution, the limit ring 9 can be fixedly connected to the material receiving base 3. By setting the limit ring 9, it can play a role in limiting the flange during movement, ensuring that the flange can be stably located inside the blanking groove 5 during the rotation of the rotating disk 4, preventing the flange from being thrown out or displaced, thereby improving the accuracy of grasping by the inner diameter grasping device.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, a set of symmetrically arranged guide plates 8 are fixed on the upper surface of the blanking support 1 and gradually approach each other along the material discharging direction, and the distance between the pair of guide plates 8 at the material discharging port matches the width of the blanking groove 5.

[0032] The pair of guide plates 8 can play a role in limiting the flange during the sliding process on the blanking support 1, ensuring that the flange can smoothly slide into the blanking groove 5, and at the same time, it can ensure that the flanges parked on the blanking support 1 are arranged in order, preventing the flanges from getting stuck with each other.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] During use, the user places the blanking support 1 on one side of the blanking area of the processing device. The flange first falls onto the high end of the blanking support 1 and slides down along the multiple rollers 2, and finally falls onto the low end of the blanking support 1. 13 controls the intermittent rotation of the rotating disk 4, and the rotation angle each time is set to 90°. And after each rotation, one of the blanking grooves 5 on the rotating disk 4 is aligned with the blanking support 1. At this time, the flange sliding down from the blanking support 1 falls into the blanking groove 5, and the bottom end of the flange abuts against the conveyor belt 12. As the conveyor belt 12 runs, it will drive the flange to move towards the inside of the blanking groove 5 to ensure that the flange can completely enter the blanking groove 5. As the rotating disk 4 rotates, the flange on the conveyor belt 12 is transferred to the material receiving base 3, moving the flange to the other side. At this time, the robotic arm 7 takes out the flange in the blanking groove 5 through the inner diameter grasping component. The inner diameter grasping device cooperates with the inner wall of the flange to take out the flange. After taking out the flange, the robotic arm 7 moves through the track 6 to realize the automatic blanking of the flange.

[0035] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
