Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel cage technology, and in particular to a stirrup sorting and conveying device and a steel cage production system. Background Technology

[0002] T-beam top slab reinforcement cages are widely used in highway construction. Their usage has been increasing year by year due to their high strength and wide range of structural shape adaptability.

[0003] The existing process for fabricating T-beam top slab reinforcement cages involves manually placing individual stirrups. These stirrups must be placed one by one at fixed intervals according to the total number required for the finished cage before continuous reinforcing bars are inserted and welded inside. However, due to the large number of individual stirrups used in the reinforcement cage and the large spacing between them, the existing process results in a significant space being occupied by the stirrups. Furthermore, the difficulty of inserting the continuous reinforcing bars into the stirrups increases, directly reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a stirrup sorting and conveying device that reduces the space occupied by stirrup placement and reduces the difficulty of inserting continuous stirrups.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A stirrup sorting and conveying device, comprising:

[0007] Frame;

[0008] Two sets of material storage adjustment components are arranged at intervals along a first direction on the frame to form a placement space;

[0009] Each group of the material storage adjustment components includes a first driving component and multiple clamping components. The clamping components in different groups are arranged one-to-one to clamp the stirrups placed in the placement space. Multiple clamping components in the same group are arranged at the output end of the first driving component. The distance between adjacent clamping components is smaller than the arrangement distance of the stirrups on the finished steel cage. The first driving component can drive the clamping components to move at least along the second direction.

[0010] Sorting assembly, the sorting assembly is disposed at one end of the frame along the second direction, the sorting assembly is capable of removing the hoop on the clamping member;

[0011] The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, the material storage adjustment assembly includes a mounting frame and a rotary chain. The mounting frame is provided with a drive shaft and a driven shaft spaced apart along a second direction. The drive shaft and the driven shaft are provided with sprockets. The rotary chain connects the sprockets of the drive shaft and the driven shaft. The rotary chain is provided with a plurality of clamping members. The output end of the first drive member is connected to the drive shaft.

[0013] In some embodiments, the clamping member includes a slot fixing plate, the slot fixing plate being provided with a slot to clamp the stirrup.

[0014] In some embodiments, the mounting frame is further provided with a support shaft that extends along the second direction and is located below the slot to support the stirrups on the clamping member.

[0015] In some embodiments, the sorting assembly is provided in two sets, and the two sets of sorting assemblies are spaced apart in the placement space along the first direction. The sorting assembly includes a sorting drive unit and a sorting fork. The sorting fork is provided with a fork groove capable of supporting the hoop. The sorting fork is located at the output end of the sorting drive unit. The sorting drive unit drives the sorting fork to rise and fall and move along the second direction.

[0016] In some embodiments, the sorting assembly is further provided with a movable seat, and the sorting drive unit includes a third drive member and a fourth drive member. The third drive member drives the movable seat to move along the second direction on the frame. The fourth drive member is disposed on the movable seat, and the sorting fork is disposed at the output end of the fourth drive member.

[0020] A rebar cage production system is also provided, which includes a welding mechanism and a stirrup sorting and conveying device as described above, wherein the welding mechanism is disposed on one side of the sorting component of the stirrup sorting and conveying device.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] The spacing of the stirrups depends on the spacing between two adjacent clamps along the second direction. That is, the spacing between adjacent clamps can be minimized (much smaller than the spacing of the stirrups on the finished steel cage). After the continuous bars are threaded, they are placed according to the fixed spacing of the stirrups on the finished steel cage by the sorting component. This makes it easier to thread the continuous bars, reduces the area occupied during placement, and reduces the difficulty of threading the continuous bars. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0038] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this application provides a stirrup sorting and conveying device, which includes a frame 1, a storage adjustment assembly 2, and a sorting assembly 5. The storage adjustment assembly 2 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of storage adjustment assemblies 2 are spaced apart on the frame 1 along a first direction to form a placement space. Each set of storage adjustment assemblies 2 includes a first driving member 21 and multiple clamping members 22. The clamping members 22 in different sets are arranged one-to-one to clamp the stirrups 6 placed in the placement space. The multiple clamping members 22 in the same set are arranged at the output end of the first driving member 21 in the set. The first driving member 21 can drive the clamping members 22 to move at least along a second direction. The sorting assembly 5 is provided at one end of the frame 1 along the second direction. The sorting assembly 5 can remove the stirrups 6 from the clamping members 22. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0040] The stirrups 6 can be placed on the clamping member 22 at the end away from the sorting component 5 by manual labor or robotic arms. The clamped stirrups 6 are then moved in the second direction towards the sorting component 5 by the first driving member 21, allowing the next stirrup 6 to be placed on the adjacent clamping member 22, and so on, arranging the required stirrups 6 for the rebar cage in sequence. After arrangement, the continuous reinforcing bars can be inserted. Subsequently, the clamping member 22 is moved along the second direction to the sorting component 5, and the continuous reinforcing bars can be moved along the second direction to sort the bars. The sorting component 5 removes the stirrups 6 from the clamping member 22, and then moves the continuous bar for welding. In the above structure, the arrangement spacing of the stirrups 6 depends on the spacing between two adjacent clamping members 22 along the second direction, that is, it can minimize the spacing between adjacent clamping members 22 (much smaller than the arrangement spacing of the stirrups 6 on the finished steel cage). After the continuous bar is threaded, it is placed according to the fixed spacing of the stirrups 6 on the finished steel cage by the sorting component 5, so as to facilitate the threading of the continuous bar, reduce the area occupied during placement, and reduce the difficulty of threading the continuous bar.

[0041] It should be noted here that the first direction refers to Figure 4 The middle X direction; the second direction refers to Figure 4 Center Y direction.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the frame 1 includes two sub-frames, which are spaced apart along a first direction, and two sets of storage adjustment components 2 are respectively disposed on the two sub-frames. Specifically, the storage adjustment component 2 includes a mounting frame 23, on which a drive shaft 24 and a driven shaft 25 are disposed spaced apart along a second direction. Both the drive shaft 24 and the driven shaft 25 are provided with sprockets 26. A rotary chain 29 connects the sprockets 26 of the drive shaft 24 and the driven shaft 25. A first drive member 21 is disposed on the mounting frame 23, and the output end of the first drive member 21 is connected to the drive shaft 24, thereby driving the rotation of the drive shaft 24, which in turn drives the rotation of the rotary chain 29. In the current embodiment, multiple clamping members 22 are arranged on the rotary chain 29. It should be noted that the spacing between adjacent clamping members 22 located in the same storage adjustment component 2 is as small as possible, so that the placement of the stirrups 6 does not interfere with each other, thereby reducing the spacing between adjacent stirrups 6 and facilitating the insertion of continuous reinforcing bars. By using the aforementioned rotating chain 29, the clamping member 22 can rotate in a circular manner, allowing the clamping member 22 to move at least in the second direction; at the same time, the hoop 6 can be inserted from one end in the second direction, further reducing the difficulty of placement.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in the current embodiment, the clamping member 22 includes a slot fixing plate, which is fixed to the rotary chain 29. The slot fixing plate has slots 27 for clamping the stirrup 6. Furthermore, each slot fixing plate has two slots 27 spaced vertically apart, thereby improving the stability of the stirrup 6. In addition, when the stirrup 6 is placed in the slot 27, to ensure the stability of the stirrup 6's movement, in some embodiments, the mounting frame 23 is also provided with a support shaft 28. The support shaft 28 extends along the second direction and is located below the slot 27, thereby supporting the stirrup 6 on the slot fixing plate and allowing the stirrup 6 to move on the support shaft 28. In other embodiments, the clamping member 22 may also employ a clamping structure such as a clamping claw.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the spacing between the two material storage adjustment components 2 is adjustable, thereby adjusting the size of the placement space to accommodate stirrups 6 of different sizes. Specifically, at least one material storage adjustment component 2 is correspondingly provided with a second driving member 3, the second driving member 3 is disposed on the frame 1, and the frame 1 is provided with a first guide rail 4 extending along a first direction, and multiple first guide rails 4 are spaced apart along a second direction. The output end of the second driving member 3 is connected to the frame 1, thereby driving the frame 1 to move along the first direction. In the current embodiment, both material storage adjustment components 2 are correspondingly provided with a second driving member 3. Exemplarily, the second driving member 3 is a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a motor.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, two sets of sorting components 5 are provided, and the two sets of sorting components 5 are spaced apart in the placement space along the first direction; the two sets of sorting components 5 are respectively provided on two separate frames 1. The sorting component 5 includes a sorting drive unit 51 and a sorting fork 52. The sorting fork 52 is provided with a fork groove 523 that can support the hoop 6, and the sorting fork 52 is provided at the output end of the sorting drive unit 51. The sorting drive unit 51 drives the sorting fork 52 to rise and fall and move along the second direction, so as to remove the hoop 6 on the clamp 22 and place it on the downstream welding equipment for welding.

[0046] Specifically, the sorting drive unit 51 also includes a third drive member 511 and a fourth drive member 512. A second guide rail 54 extending in the second direction is provided on the frame 1, and a movable seat 53 is provided on the second guide rail 54. The third drive member 511 drives the movable seat 53 to move on the second guide rail 54. Specifically, the third drive member 511 is a motor, which is provided on the movable seat 53. A gear is provided at the output end of the motor, and a rack 55 moving in the second direction is provided on the frame 1. The gear meshes with the rack 55. The fourth drive unit 512 is mounted on the movable seat 53, and the sorting fork 52 is mounted on the output end of the fourth drive unit 512. The fourth drive unit 512 drives the sorting fork 52 to rise and fall. When the hoop 6 is conveyed to the sorting assembly 5, the fourth drive unit 512 drives the sorting fork 52 to rise and lift the hoop 6 away from the clamping member 22. Then the third drive unit 511 drives the hoop 6 to move in the second direction downstream away from the clamping member 22, and places the hoop 6 on the welding mechanism downstream for welding, thus completing the sorting operation of one hoop 6. Then the sorting cycle is performed.

[0047] More specifically, the sorting fork 52 includes a fixing plate 521, which is disposed at the output end of the fourth drive member 512. The fixing plate 521 is provided with two spaced-apart limiting shafts 522, and the fork groove 523 is formed between the two limiting shafts 522. Exemplarily, the fourth drive member 512 is a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0048] This application also provides a rebar cage production system, which includes the aforementioned stirrup sorting and conveying device and a welding mechanism. The welding mechanism is disposed on one side of the sorting component 5 of the stirrup sorting and conveying device to receive the stirrups 6 transferred from the sorting component 5. It is understood that the rebar cage production system also includes a dragging part for dragging the continuous reinforcing bars along a second direction. The dragging part can be integrated into the welding mechanism or can be a separate mechanism; there is no specific limitation. The rebar cage production system employs the aforementioned stirrup sorting and conveying device, which facilitates the insertion of continuous reinforcing bars, reduces the area occupied during placement, and lowers the difficulty of inserting the continuous reinforcing bars.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
