[0002] During the production of refined aluminum, a certain amount of aluminum ingot raw materials need to be added to the refined aluminum tank every day. Usually, a forklift is used to move the aluminum ingot stacks from the storage area to the refined aluminum tank area, remove the binding straps, and then move a certain number of aluminum ingots into the refined aluminum tank.

[0003] The current type of automatic aluminum ingot identification and gripping mechanism relies mostly on manual or semi-automatic operation in the process of identifying and gripping aluminum nails. This method exhibits low identification accuracy and low efficiency, which in turn reduces the production progress of refined aluminum and makes it difficult to meet the needs of the production line.

[0004] In summary, this utility model solves the problems in the background art by designing an automatic aluminum ingot identification and gripping mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0026] For examples, please refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] An automatic aluminum ingot identification and gripping mechanism includes a support base 1 and an aluminum ingot placement plate 2 disposed on the rear side of the support base 1. A drive motor 3 is fixedly installed on the left side of the support base 1. A first slide groove 4 and a second slide groove 5 are opened on the top surface of the support base 1. A support slide rod 401 is fixedly installed inside the first slide groove 4. A drive screw 501 is rotatably disposed inside the second slide groove 5. A bearing plate 6 is sleeved on the outer side of both the drive screw 501 and the support slide rod 401. A robot arm 601 is fixedly installed on the top of the bearing plate 6. A mounting frame 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the aluminum ingot placement plate 2. A controller 701 is fixedly installed on the left side of the mounting frame 7. An identification mechanism 8 is disposed on the inner side of the mounting frame 7.

[0028] Specifically, the output end of the drive motor 3 passes through the left side surface of the support base 1 and is fixedly connected to the left end of the drive screw 501. The first slide groove 4 is symmetrically distributed about the top center line of the support base 1. The outer surface of the support slide rod 401 is in close contact with the inner wall of the bearing plate 6. The outer surface of the drive screw 501 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the bearing plate 6. The drive motor 3 and the robot arm 601 are electrically connected to the controller 701 through wires.

[0029] In this embodiment, the drive motor 3 is mainly used to rotate the drive screw 501. Through the threaded transmission between the drive screw 501 and the bearing plate 6, and the sliding between the support slide rod 401 and the bearing plate 6, the bearing plate 6 drives the robot 601 to perform linear motion, thereby achieving the function of adjusting the displacement of the robot 601. The robot 601 is mainly used to grasp aluminum ingots.

[0030] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The identification mechanism 8 includes a laser emitter 801, a laser receiver 802, an electric push rod 803, and a mounting groove 804. The laser emitter 801 is fixedly installed on the right inner wall of the mounting frame 7, the laser receiver 802 is fixedly installed on the left inner wall of the mounting frame 7, the electric push rod 803 is fixedly installed on the left surface of the mounting frame 7, the mounting groove 804 is opened on the top surface of the mounting frame 7, and a limit rod 805 is provided inside it. A moving block 806 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the limit rod 805, and an identification camera 807 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the moving block 806.

[0031] Specifically, the electric actuator 803 is a multi-stage electric actuator, and its telescopic end passes through the left side surface of the mounting bracket 7 and is fixed to the left end of the moving block 806. The laser receiver 802 and the laser emitter 801 are located at the same height on the same straight line. The laser receiver 802, the electric actuator 803 and the recognition camera 807 are electrically connected to the controller 701 through wires.

[0032] In this embodiment, the precise positioning of the aluminum ingot is achieved through the cooperation of the laser emitter 801 and the laser receiver 802. The electric push rod 803 is mainly used to drive the moving block 806, thereby adjusting the position of the recognition camera 807 and enabling the recognition camera 807 to identify the position of the aluminum ingot. The controller 701 receives the recognition signal and controls the drive motor 3 and the robot arm 601 to complete the grasping action of the aluminum ingot, which improves the automation performance of the device and meets the needs of production.

[0033] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using an automatic aluminum ingot identification and gripping mechanism, an aluminum ingot is placed on an aluminum ingot placement plate 2. The signal between the laser emitter 801 and the laser receiver 802 is then interrupted. The laser receiver 802 transmits the interruption signal to the controller 701, which in turn activates the electric push rod 803. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 803 gradually extends, causing the moving block 806 to drive the identification camera 807 to move smoothly along the surface of the limit rod 805 until the identification camera 807 is directly above the aluminum ingot. The identification camera 807 then captures an image of the aluminum ingot and transmits the identification signal to the controller 701. The controller 701 then activates the drive motor 3, which drives the drive screw 501 to rotate. This rotation causes the bearing plate 6 and the robotic arm 601 to move along the outer surface of the support slide rod 401 until the robotic arm 601 moves to the desired position. At this point, the robotic arm 601 can accurately grip the aluminum ingot, making the identification and gripping process more efficient and accurate.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
