Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tin product processing technology, specifically to a tin molten metal extraction mechanism based on a robotic arm. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of tin products, the extraction and purification of molten tin is a crucial step. Traditional methods of molten tin extraction mostly rely on manual operation. However, when using robotic arms for extraction, the rotation speed of the robotic arms is not linearly controlled, causing the molten tin to splash out of the dispensing area due to excessive pouring speed. This results in waste of molten tin and poses a risk of burns to nearby workers.
[0003] Therefore, in response to the current market practice of using robotic arms to extract molten solder, a design was developed that allows the robotic arm to directly pour the molten solder into the mold after extraction. Before the molten solder enters the mold, a flow-retarding mechanism is used to reduce the impact force of the molten solder discharge, thereby avoiding molten solder splashing and waste and preventing personnel injury. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a molten tin extraction mechanism based on a robotic arm, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a molten tin extraction mechanism based on a robotic arm, comprising a base, a robotic arm, and a rotating head. A support rod is fixed to the end of the rotating head, and a container is fixed to the end of the support rod. A guide port is provided on the edge of the container. A frame rod is fixed to the outer end of the support rod, and a limiting frame is fixed to the end of the frame rod. An electric telescopic rod is fixed to the frame rod, and a flow-slowing mechanism is provided at the output end of the electric telescopic rod to slow down the pouring speed of the molten tin.
[0006] Furthermore, the flow slowing mechanism includes a first flow slowing block, the first flow slowing block having a flow diversion hole inside, a second flow slowing block fixed to the lower end of the first flow slowing block, a buffer cavity having a buffer cavity having a buffer cavity connected to the flow diversion hole, and an outlet hole having a liquid outlet at the lower end of the second flow slowing block. Molten solder enters the buffer cavity through the flow diversion hole, and multiple streams of molten solder collide and slow down the flow speed.
[0007] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixed to the output end of the electric telescopic rod, and protrusions are fixed to both sides of the connecting rod. A limit groove is opened on the inner side of the limiting frame, and the protrusions and the limit groove are slidably matched.
[0008] Furthermore, the output end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a support frame, and the outer end of the support frame is fixedly connected to a drive motor. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first flow-retarding block. The drive motor is designed and controlled by a PLC controller to always be vertically matched with the position of the guide port.
[0009] Furthermore, the first buffer block has a central hole in the middle, and a connecting guide hole is provided at the lower end of the central hole. The number of guide holes is set to be multiple, and the guide holes are connected to the buffer cavity.
[0010] Furthermore, a splash guard is fixed to the upper end of the first flow-retarding block.
[0011] This invention provides a molten tin extraction mechanism based on a robotic arm. Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages:
[0012] This robotic molten tin extraction mechanism improves the automation and efficiency of molten tin extraction, while significantly enhancing the purity of the molten tin and the quality of tin products. Through a cleverly designed flow-slowing mechanism, the speed of the molten tin is gradually reduced during the pouring process, effectively preventing splashing due to excessively fast discharge speed. The flow rate is slowed down by the mutual impact of the flowing molten tin. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a molten tin extraction mechanism based on a robotic arm, including a base 1, a robotic arm 2, and a rotating head 3. A support rod 4 is fixed to the end of the rotating head 3, and a container 5 is fixed to the end of the support rod 4. A guide port 6 is provided on the edge of the container 5. A frame rod 7 is fixed to the outer end of the support rod 4, and a limiting frame 8 is fixed to the end of the frame rod 7. An electric telescopic rod 9 is fixed on the frame rod 7. A flow-slowing mechanism is provided at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 9 to slow down the pouring speed of the molten tin. The robotic arm 2 moves the rotating head 3, and the rotating head 3 drives the support rod 4 to move to the molten tin. A certain amount of molten tin is scooped out by the container 5 at the lower end of the support rod 4. The robotic arm 2 and the rotating head 3 rotate to the dispensing point. The rotation of the robotic arm 2 and the rotating head 3 aligns the guide port 6 on the container 5 with the dispensing point. Then, the electric telescopic rod 9 on the frame rod 7 is activated to move the flow-slowing mechanism to the corresponding lower end of the guide port 6. The molten tin is slowed down by the flow-slowing mechanism to prevent splashing when it enters the dispensing point.
[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, the flow slowing mechanism includes a first flow slowing block 15, with a diversion hole 16 inside the first flow slowing block 15. A second flow slowing block 19 is fixed to the lower end of the first flow slowing block 15, and a buffer chamber 20 is provided at the upper end of the second flow slowing block 19. The buffer chamber 20 is connected to the diversion hole 16, and an outlet hole 21 is provided at the lower end of the second flow slowing block 19. Molten solder enters the buffer chamber 20 through the diversion hole 16, and multiple streams of molten solder collide, slowing down the flow speed. Molten solder first enters the first flow slowing block 15 and continues to flow downward through the diversion hole 16. The number of diversion holes 16 can be set in multiple ways, and the number and size of the diversion holes 16 can be customized. Molten solder flows into the second flow slowing block 19 through the diversion hole 16. The buffer chamber 20 is provided at the upper end of the second flow slowing block 19. Molten solder from multiple directions enters the buffer chamber 20 at the same time, and the multiple directions collide with each other, thereby slowing down the movement speed of the molten solder. Finally, it flows out at the outlet hole 21.
[0021] like Figure 3As shown, a connecting rod 10 is fixed to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 9. Protrusions 11 are fixed on both sides of the connecting rod 10. A limiting groove 12 is opened on the inner side of the limiting frame 8. The protrusions 11 and the limiting groove 12 are matched and slidably arranged. As the electric telescopic rod 9 is pushed, the connecting rod 10 slides under the restriction of the protrusions 11 and the limiting groove 12 on both sides, so that it can be pushed downward stably and improve the movement stability. When not in use, the whole thing can be retracted by the electric telescopic rod 9, which facilitates the feeding of molten tin into the container 5.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, a support frame 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 9. A drive motor 14 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the support frame 13. The output end of the drive motor 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first flow-retarding block 15. The drive motor 14 is designed and controlled by a PLC controller to always be vertically matched with the position of the guide port 6. One end of the support frame 13 is fixed to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 9, and the other end is fixed to the end of the connecting rod 10. This can improve the overall support stability. The drive motor 14 is fixed to the outer end of the support frame 13. The output end of the drive motor 14 is fixedly connected to the first flow-retarding block 15. The rotation controlled by the drive motor 14 can make the first flow-retarding block 15 always face the guide port 6, which is convenient for pouring out the solder. This control is programmed by the PLC controller and matched with the rotation direction of the robotic arm 2 and the rotating head 3. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the first flow-retarding block 15 has a central hole 17 in the middle, and a connecting guide hole 18 is formed at the lower end of the central hole 17. Multiple guide holes 18 are provided, and each guide hole 18 is connected to the buffer chamber 20. The central hole 17 in the middle of the first flow-retarding block 15 allows molten solder to flow downwards, while multiple guide holes 18 in various directions are connected at the lower end of the central hole 17. Figure 4 It can be clearly seen that the direction of the guide hole 18, the diversion hole 16, and the buffer cavity 20 are set opposite to each other, so that the molten solder can be further impacted and buffered, thereby achieving the effect of slowing down the speed.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the first flow buffer block 15 is fixed with a splash guard 22. When the container 5 is tilted, the guide port 6 discharges material into the first flow buffer block 15. Since the molten solder is a liquid, there will be a certain impact force when it exits the guide port 6. The splash guard 22 can reduce the impact effect and prevent the molten solder from splashing.
[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
