BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0012] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the utility model;
[0013] Figure 2 It is a three-dimensional diagram of the adsorption device in the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0015] like Figure 1As shown, an automatic cleaning assembly for zinc ingots comprises a zinc ingot initial area 1, a water spraying device 2, a first photo-taking and recognition device 3, a zinc ingot grabbing robot arm 4, a zinc ingot placement area 5, and a first air blast device 6. The zinc ingot initial area 1 is used to place unwashed zinc ingots; the water spraying device 2 is used to spray water on the unwashed zinc ingots, and can spray water evenly and forcefully on the unwashed zinc ingots, effectively removing surface dirt and initial moistening, in preparation for subsequent cleaning. The first photo-taking and recognition device 3 is used to take a photo of the unwashed zinc ingot, and the position and posture of the zinc ingot are calculated by an analysis device. The accuracy of this step is directly related to the operating efficiency and success rate of the subsequent grabbing robot arm, and is a key link in the automated cleaning process. The zinc ingot grabbing robot arm 4 is used to grab the unwashed zinc ingots and place them neatly in a specific position. In this process, the flexibility and stability of the robot arm are fully demonstrated, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the grabbing action. The zinc ingot placement area 5 is used to place the zinc ingots after they have been grabbed; the first air blast device 6 is used to blow air into the zinc ingots after they have been placed, blowing away dust and water stains until they are dry; the unwashed zinc ingots are first placed in the zinc ingot initial area 1, and then the position is determined by the first photo recognition device 3 and the zinc ingot grabbing robot arm 4 is grabbed to the zinc ingot placement position. The existing technology can easily identify the position and posture through photos, and then the robot arm determines the grabbing method based on the position and posture to avoid failure to grab. After the zinc ingots are neatly placed, they are cleaned and dried by the first air blast device 6. This automatic cleaning assembly of zinc ingots achieves efficient cleaning and accurate classification of zinc ingots through integrated and automated design ideas, bringing significant economic and social benefits to the zinc ingot processing industry.
[0016] The zinc ingot grabbing robot arm 4 is equipped with a second air blast device and a second camera recognition device. The second air blast device is used to initially blow away dust and water stains from the surface of the zinc ingot during the grabbing process. The second camera recognition device is used to take photos of the surface of the zinc ingot during the grabbing process and analyze and calculate the quality of the zinc ingot. The zinc ingot placement area 5 includes a qualified zinc ingot placement area 5 and a failed zinc ingot placement area 5. The qualified zinc ingot placement area 5 is where ingots are placed after passing the quality inspection of the second camera recognition device; the failed zinc ingot placement area 5 is where ingots are placed after failing the quality inspection of the second camera recognition device. The zinc ingots are screened for quality during the cleaning process, increasing the functionality of the device and eliminating the subsequent step of screening the ingots. The robot also includes a support frame 9, on which the water spray device 2 and the first camera recognition device 3 are mounted. The zinc ingot placement area 5 is equipped with three trays, arranged in a sequence: the center tray serves as the failed zinc ingot placement area 11, and the side trays serve as the qualified zinc ingot placement area 12.
