DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0024] The utility model discloses a loading and unloading truss unit with a hopper trolley. Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a truss body 1, a loading station 11 and an unloading station 12 are provided inside the truss body 1, and a material box 13 is provided in the loading station 11 and the unloading station 12, a three-axis manipulator 14 is installed on the top of the truss body 1, and a temporary discharge plate 15, a mobile clamp 16, and a transverse movement component 17 are provided inside the truss body 1, and the transverse movement component 17 can drive the temporary discharge plate 15 to move horizontally, and the mobile clamp 16 can clamp the material box 13 and can move vertically.
[0025] During use, the material box 13 is moved to the top of the temporary discharge plate 15. At this time, the materials in the material box 13 are loaded one by one by the three-axis manipulator 14. After the materials in the material box 13 are loaded, the empty material box 13 is clamped by another mobile clamp 16. At this time, the mobile clamp 16 in the loading station 11 drives the fully loaded material box 13 to move upward again, and replaces the fully loaded material box 13 above the temporary discharge plate 15. At this time, another mobile clamp 16 drives the empty material box 13 to move downward to the unloading station 12, thereby reducing labor costs, saving time and improving work efficiency. The truss automatically loads to the secondary positioning without manual intervention and the placement position is accurate, which is convenient for grabbing in the next process.
[0026] Furthermore, a material transport trolley 18 is provided inside the loading station 11 and the unloading station 12 , and the material box 13 is placed above the material transport trolley 18 , and a secondary positioning member 19 is installed on the top of the truss body 1 .
[0027] The material transport trolley 18 can be used to place multiple material boxes 13, and the materials in the material boxes 13 can be directly placed in the secondary positioning member 19, which is convenient for grabbing in the next process.
[0028] Furthermore, two groups of mobile fixtures 16 are provided, and the two groups of mobile fixtures 16 are symmetrically arranged inside the truss body 1. The mobile fixtures 16 include:
[0029] A U-shaped frame 161, with clamping cylinders 166 installed at both ends of the U-shaped frame 161, and a clamping block 167 fixedly installed at the output end of the clamping cylinder 166;
[0030] The driving motor 162 is fixedly installed inside the truss body 1. Rotating shafts 163 are rotatably arranged at the upper and lower parts of the truss body 1, and the output end of the driving motor 162 is fixedly connected to the end of one of the rotating shafts 163. The two rotating shafts 163 are connected to a chain 164 through a gear transmission, and the chain 164 is connected to the U-shaped frame 161.
[0031] When the driving motor 162 is working, it can drive one of the rotating shafts 163 to rotate, and use the gear and chain 164 for transmission, which can drive the U-shaped frame 161 to move vertically. Until the U-shaped frame 161 moves to a suitable position, the clamping cylinder 166 and the clamping block 167 can be used to clamp and fix the material box 13.
[0032] Specifically disclosed, two guide blocks are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer side of the U-shaped frame 161 , and guide rods 165 are movably inserted into the interior of the two guide blocks, and the ends of the guide rods 165 are fixedly connected to the interior of the truss body 1 .
[0033] The guide rod 165 and the guide block are provided to guide the U-shaped frame 161 so that the U-shaped frame 161 can move vertically stably.
[0034] Specifically disclosed, the transverse movement assembly 17 includes a fixed bar and a slide cylinder. The fixed bar is installed inside the truss body 1, and the slide cylinder is fixedly installed outside the fixed bar, and the output end of the slide cylinder is fixedly connected to the temporary discharge plate 15.
[0035] By providing the slide cylinder, the slide cylinder can drive the temporary unloading plate 15 to move laterally when working.
[0036] It should be particularly emphasized that the three-axis manipulator 14 includes a Y-axis moving part 141, a Z-axis moving part 142 and an X-axis moving part 143. The Z-axis moving part 142 is installed above the Y-axis moving part 141, and the X-axis moving part 143 is installed above the Z-axis moving part 142. The front of the X-axis moving part 143 is connected to a moving bar 144, and the bottom of the moving bar 144 is fixedly connected to a three-claw cylinder 145.
[0037] The Y-axis moving part 141, the Z-axis moving part 142 and the X-axis moving part 143 are all composed of guide rails, motors, screw rods and nut blocks. When the motor is working, it can drive the screw rod to rotate, and then drive the nut block to move accordingly in the guide rail, thereby enabling the moving bar 144 and the three-claw cylinder 145 to move in three directions, making it convenient for the three-claw cylinder 145 to clamp the material in the material box 13 and place it into the secondary positioning part 19.
[0038] It should be particularly emphasized that the output end of the three-claw cylinder 145 is fixedly connected to a clamping block 146. The three-claw cylinder 145 can drive the clamping blocks 146 at its three output ends to move when working, thereby playing a clamping role.
[0039] The temporary material discharge plate 15 is driven to move horizontally by the transverse movement component 17 until the material box 13 is moved above the temporary material discharge plate 15. At this time, the materials in the material box 13 are loaded one by one by the three-axis manipulator 14. After the material in the material box 13 is loaded, the temporary material discharge plate 15 is driven to move horizontally again by the transverse movement component 17, and the empty material box 13 is clamped by another mobile clamp 16. At this time, the mobile clamp 16 in the loading station 11 drives the fully loaded material box 13 to move upward again, and the temporary material discharge plate 15 is driven to move horizontally by the transverse movement component 17 to put the fully loaded material box 13 back on the temporary material discharge plate 15, and at this time, another mobile clamp 16 drives the empty material box 13 to move downward to the unloading station 12.
