Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ceramic production, and more specifically, to an automatic brick pushing machine. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of ceramic tiles, due to the many processing steps and long conveying paths of ceramic tiles, they need to go through multiple turns, which causes the ceramic tiles to easily deviate from the preset position during the conveying process, affecting the correspondence with the subsequent processes. Therefore, the ceramic tiles need to be pushed back to the appropriate position to meet the processing requirements of the next process. The existing technology mainly uses brick pushing equipment to apply thrust from the side of the ceramic tile to push the ceramic tile back to the correct position on the track, but this method has high requirements for the site and can only push the ceramic tiles transported in a single route. Once multiple ceramic tiles are transported in parallel, it is difficult to achieve push-to-correct. In addition, due to the layout of the brick pushing equipment, once the size of the ceramic tile changes significantly, the brick pushing equipment needs to be modified to adapt to the large-sized ceramic tile, resulting in low brick pushing efficiency and high equipment cost.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The utility model provides an automatic brick pushing machine, which is installed on a conveyor line for tiles, and includes a frame 1, which is arranged above the conveyor line for tiles 11; the frame 1 includes a pair of longitudinal beams 101 parallel to each other, and a cross beam 2 is provided on the pair of longitudinal beams 101, and a guide rail assembly 3 and a driving assembly 4 are provided on the top of the cross beam 2; the guide rail assembly 3 includes a linear guide rail 301 and a slider seat 302, the slider seat 302 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 301, and the linear guide rail 301 is fixedly connected to the cross beam 2; the driving assembly 4 is connected to the slider seat 302 and drives the slider seat 302 to reciprocate on the linear guide rail 301; a cross bar 5 is provided on the slider seat 302, and lifting assemblies 6 are respectively provided at both ends of the cross bar 5, and a push plate 7 is commonly connected to the bottom of the two lifting assemblies 6.

[0025] In the embodiment of the present invention, the function of the conveyor line is to move the tiles 11, and the frame 1 is arranged above the conveyor line so as to process the tiles 11 passing through. Specifically, a crossbeam 2 is provided on the frame 1, and a guide rail assembly 3 and a drive assembly 4 are provided on the crossbeam 2. The slider seat 302 on the guide rail assembly 3 can move back and forth on the linear guide rail 301, and the drive assembly 4 acts on the slider seat 302 to drive the slider seat 302 to reciprocate on the linear guide rail 301. In this embodiment, a push plate 7 is provided to push the tiles 11. The two ends of the push plate 7 are respectively connected to a lifting assembly 6, and the two lifting assemblies 6 are respectively connected to the cross bar 5. When the slider seat 302 moves, the cross bar 5 and the various components connected thereto also move together. Through the above structural design, the drive assembly 4 drives the slider seat 302 to move, the slider seat 302 drives the cross bar 5 to move, the cross bar 5 drives the lifting assembly 6 to move, and the lifting assembly 6 drives the push plate 7 to move along the length direction of the linear guide rail 301. At the same time, the lifting assembly 6 can also drive the push plate 7 to rise or fall in the vertical direction to prevent the push plate 7 from scratching the tile 11 when passing through the top surface of the tile 11.

[0026] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0027] The conveyor line drives the tile 11 into the working range of the automatic tile pusher. The drive assembly 4 drives the slider seat 302 to move. The slider seat 302 drives the push plate 7 to move to the gap between the two tiles 11 through the cooperation of the crossbar 5 and the lifting assembly 6. Then the lifting assembly 6 lowers the push plate 7 so that the lower part of the push plate 7 is in the gap between the two tiles 11. Next, the drive assembly 4 drives the slider seat 302 to move, which in turn allows the push plate 7 to act on the side of the tile 11 and drive the tile 11 to move to the preset position to achieve the straightening of the tile 11.

[0028] Preferably, a position sensor 8 is further provided at the bottom of the lifting assembly 6 to detect the distance between the lifting assembly 6 and the conveyor line. In this embodiment, the position sensor 8 is provided at the bottom of the lifting assembly 6 to monitor the distance between the lifting assembly 6, the conveyor line, and the tiles 11, thereby better controlling the descending position of the push plate 7 and avoiding situations where the push plate 7 is not descended enough to push the tiles 11, or is descended too much to get stuck in the conveyor line and cannot move.

[0029] Preferably, the lifting assembly 6 includes a cylinder 601, with suspension rods 602 disposed around the cylinder body of the cylinder 601, which are connected to the crossbar 5 via the suspension rods 602. The position sensor 8 is disposed at the bottom of the suspension rod 602, with its detection end facing the conveyor line. This embodiment uses the cylinder 601 as the power source for lifting. To enhance the stability of the connection of the cylinder 601, suspension rods 602 are disposed around the cylinder 601 to connect with the crossbar 5.

[0030] Preferably, a positioning sensor 9 is provided at the bottom of the crossbeam 2, and the positioning sensor 9 is used to detect the position of the tile 11. In this embodiment, the positioning sensor 9 is provided at the bottom of the crossbeam 2, and the positioning sensor 9 is used to monitor the position of the tile 11, so as to better drive the push plate 7 to the appropriate position and control the pushing amplitude of the tile 11.

[0031] Preferably, four positioning sensors 9 are provided, which are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the beam 2. In this embodiment, four positioning sensors 9 are provided and sequentially distributed along the beam 2 to better cover the main incoming positions of the tiles 11.

[0032] Preferably, the positioning sensor 9 is connected to the crossbeam 2 via a bracket, and the position between the bracket and the crossbeam 2 is adjustable. In this embodiment, the positioning sensor 9 adopts an adjustable design according to the size of the tiles 11. By controlling the position of the positioning sensor 9, it can quickly match tiles 11 of different specifications, thereby improving the accuracy of tile pushing.

[0033] Preferably, the push plate 7 has an L-shaped cross-section, comprising a horizontal side 701 and a vertical side 702. The horizontal side 701 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 601, and the vertical side 702 faces downward. In this embodiment, the L-shaped push plate 7 acts on the side of the tile 11, providing a stable structure that resists deformation and allowing the vertical side 702 to be easily inserted into the gap between two tiles 11.

[0034] Preferably, a pad is provided on one side of the vertical edge 702 facing the tile 11, and the pad is made of rubber or plastic. By providing soft rubber or plastic, the push plate 7 can be prevented from scratching the tile 11.

In this embodiment, the drive component 4 uses a synchronous belt 405 as a transmission mechanism, and drives the active pulley 403 through the motor 401 and the reducer 402. The active pulley 403 drives the synchronous belt 405 to move. The synchronous belt 405 acts on the slider seat 302, so that the slider seat 302 can move stably along the length direction of the linear guide rail 301.

[0036] Preferably, a gantry 10 is provided on each side of the frame 1 , and the two gantries 10 are arranged parallel to each other, and the supporting legs on both sides of the gantry 10 are respectively connected to the two sides of the conveyor line.
