DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the utility model discloses an aluminum bar transportation system for transporting aluminum bars from a melting and casting workshop A to processing workshops B, comprising:

[0027] The feeding mechanism 1 is connected with the transfer mechanism 2;

[0028] The transfer mechanism 2 runs through each processing workshop B, and a blanking mechanism 3 matching the transfer mechanism is set in each processing workshop B. The blanking mechanism 3 receives the aluminum bars carried by the transfer mechanism 2; wherein,

[0029] The feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding part 11 and a taking part 12. The feeding part 11 moves on the ground of the casting workshop A, and the taking part 12 clamps the aluminum bars on the feeding part 11.

[0030] The transfer mechanism includes a conveying track 21 and a carrier 22 that reciprocates on the conveying track 21. The carrier 22 is docked with the material-taking part 12 and operates the aluminum bars on the material-taking part 12. The unloading mechanism 3 of each processing workshop B grabs and unloads the aluminum bars on the carrier 22.

[0031] When the system is running, the loading mechanism 1 provides aluminum bars to the transfer mechanism 2, and the transfer mechanism transmits the aluminum bars to the required processing workshop B. The unloading mechanism 3 of the corresponding processing workshop B unloads the aluminum bars and transports the aluminum bars to the required position. The system completes the transportation of aluminum bars in the air, overcomes the interference of workshop environmental factors, and can realize the transportation of aluminum bars at high altitudes, greatly improving transportation efficiency, increasing space utilization, reducing labor costs, low labor intensity, and easy to realize automated operations.

[0032] The feeding unit 11 is a feeding robot, comprising a housing 111, a lifting device 112, a universal wheel assembly 113, a laser detection device 114, and a running wheel assembly 115. The lifting device 112 and the running wheel assembly 115 are located on either side of the housing 111, the universal wheel assembly 113 is located between the two running wheel assemblies 115, and the laser detection device 114 is located on the side surface of the housing 111. An aluminum bar is placed above the lifting device 112, which lifts it up, making it easier for the feeding unit 12 to grab the bar. The laser detection device 114 uses laser light to identify obstacles and avoid collisions with objects in the workshop.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, the material-grabbing portion 12 includes a crane assembly 121, a lifting manipulator 122 and a crane track 123. The crane assembly 121 reciprocates on the crane track 123. The lifting manipulator 122 is disposed below the crane assembly 121 and is connected to the crane assembly 121. The material-grabbing portion 12 also includes an opening and closing portion 124 for controlling the left and right movement of the lifting manipulator 122, which is used to control the left and right position of the lifting manipulator, thereby facilitating the manipulator to grab the aluminum rod and prevent the aluminum rod from falling.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, a bracket 23 for carrying aluminum bars is provided on the transport vehicle 22. In addition, the transfer mechanism 2 further includes a positioning sensor and a brush scanner, through which the transport vehicle 22 can accurately determine its position.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the unloading mechanism 3 includes an unloading assembly 31, an unloading track 32, and an unloading manipulator 33. The unloading assembly 31 reciprocates on the unloading track 32. The unloading manipulator 33 is disposed below the unloading assembly 31 and connected to the unloading assembly 31. The unloading manipulator 33 downwardly grasps the aluminum bars on the carrier 22 and transports the aluminum bars to a designated desired location, such as an aluminum bar heating furnace, a conveyor, an elevator, etc.

[0036] In addition, a transfer bracket 34 can be set at one end of the unloading mechanism 3. If the current transmission rhythm is not satisfied or the aluminum rods are not currently used, the aluminum rods can be temporarily placed on the transfer bracket 34 for buffering.

[0037] The working mode of the utility model is as follows:

[0038] The cast aluminum rod is placed on the feeding part 11, and the feeding part 11 transports the aluminum rod to the bottom of the picking part 12. At this time, the lifting robot 122 descends and runs to both sides of the aluminum rod, and then the opening and closing part 124 moves to make the lifting robot 122 clamp the aluminum rod. After taking the aluminum rod, the lifting robot 122 moves upward and transports the aluminum rod to the bracket 23 on the carrier 22. The carrier 22 delivers the aluminum rod to each processing workshop B. Finally, the unloading mechanism 3 of each workshop takes down the aluminum rod and sends it to the designated location or the transfer bracket 34 to complete the transportation of the aluminum rod.

[0039] For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
