Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamps, specifically to a metal ingot stacking clamp. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the non-ferrous metals industry requires industrial robots and their grippers to stack bar ingots into regular shapes for easy bundling and transportation. During the stacking process, the bottom or top ingots often need to be flipped for bundling, thus requiring ingot flipping as needed. During this flipping process, the tilting torque acts on the cylinder, making the ingots prone to falling and affecting the cylinder's lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the technical problem that existing clamps cause metal ingots to easily fall off during the ingot-turning process due to the tilting torque, thus affecting the service life of the cylinder, this utility model provides a metal ingot stacking clamp.
[0004] A metal ingot stacking fixture includes a base plate and a robot connecting seat disposed on the base plate; one or more clamping cylinders are provided on opposite sides of the base plate, the fixed ends of the pair of clamping cylinders are hinged to the base plate close to each other, and the power ends are far apart from each other; the power ends of the clamping cylinders are hinged to a clamping device via connecting rods; a linear guide rail is fixedly provided on the base plate at the clamping cylinders along the extension and retraction direction of the clamping cylinders, and the clamping device is fixedly connected to the slider of the linear guide rail.
[0005] In a preferred embodiment of the metal ingot stacking fixture provided by this utility model, the clamping device includes a clamping seat, the clamping seat is fixedly connected to the slider of the linear guide rail and hinged to the connecting rod; the clamping seat is provided with a rotary drive; a pair of corresponding rotary drive power ends are close to each other, and the rotary drive power ends are fixedly provided with clamping blocks.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the metal ingot stacking fixture provided by this utility model, the rotary drive is a rotary cylinder.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the metal ingot stacking fixture provided by this utility model, ingot gathering cylinders are fixedly provided on both sides of the base plate adjacent to the side where the clamping cylinder is located. The fixed ends of the two ingot gathering cylinders are close to each other, and the power ends are far apart from each other. An ingot gathering plate is fixedly provided on the power end of the ingot gathering cylinder. An ingot gathering auxiliary component is provided on the clamping seat near the ingot gathering plate.
[0008] Compared to existing technologies, the metal ingot stacking fixture provided by this utility model, through the setting of the linear guide rail, allows the tilting torque to act directly on the linear guide rail, improving the fixture's resistance to the tilting torque generated during flipping, reducing the possibility of ingots falling during flipping, and improving the stability, safety, and reliability of the equipment. The setting of the ingot gathering cylinder, ingot gathering plate, and ingot gathering auxiliary components completes the alignment function of metal ingot gathering and stacking, improving the appearance quality of the stacked metal and also positively improving the subsequent bundling process. Furthermore, the hinged connection between the clamping cylinder and the connecting rod further reduces the impact of the tilting torque on the clamping cylinder during metal ingot flipping, extending the service life of the clamping cylinder.

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0014] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 These are schematic diagrams of the metal ingot stacking fixture provided by this utility model from different perspectives, as well as enlarged views of points A and B.
[0015] The metal ingot stacking fixture includes a base plate 10 and a robot connecting seat 7 located at the top center of the base plate 10.
[0016] exist Figure 2 From this perspective, the base plate 10 is provided with two pairs of clamping cylinders 2, with the clamping cylinder 2 on the left and the interlayer cylinder 2 at the corresponding position on the right being a pair.
[0017] The fixed ends of the pair of clamping cylinders 2 are hinged close to each other to the base plate 10, while the power ends are far apart. The power ends of the clamping cylinders 2 are hinged to the clamping device 6 via connecting rod 9.
[0018] Linear guide rails 1 are provided on both sides of the clamping cylinder 2 along the extension and retraction direction of the clamping cylinder 2.
[0019] The clamping device 6 includes a clamping base. The clamping base includes a mounting plate 14 and two L-shaped connecting plates 15. One end of each of the two L-shaped connecting plates 15 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 14, and the other end of each is fixed to a slider of one of the linear guide rails 1. One end of the connecting rod 9 is hinged to the power end of the clamping cylinder 2, and the other end is hinged to the mounting plate 14.
[0020] The mounting plate 14 is provided with a rotary cylinder 4, and the power ends of a pair of rotary cylinders 4 are close to each other; the power end of the rotary cylinder 4 is provided with a clamping block 13.
[0021] The base plate 10 has a gathering cylinder 3 on its upper and lower sides respectively. The fixed ends of the two gathering cylinders 3 are close to each other, while the power ends are far apart. A gathering plate 5 is fixed to the power end of the gathering cylinder 3. A gathering auxiliary component 11 is provided on the mounting plate 14 near the adjacent gathering plate 5.
[0022] In practice, a suitable clamping block 13 is selected according to the different shapes of the metal ingots 8. The robot connecting seat 7 is connected to the robotic arm.
[0023] The ingot-gathering cylinder 3 retracts, pushing the metal ingot 8 to abut against the ingot-gathering auxiliary component 11, thus completing the ingot-gathering, centering, and stacking alignment operation of the metal ingot 8.
[0024] The pair of clamping cylinders 2 contract synchronously, causing the two corresponding clamping devices 6 to move closer to each other along the linear guide rail 1, which in turn causes the two clamping blocks 13 to move closer to each other, clamping the metal ingot 8 and completing the clamping operation of the metal ingot 8.
[0025] The two corresponding rotary cylinders 4 drive the metal ingot 8 to flip, completing the ingot flipping operation.
[0026] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
