Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of antimony ingot sorting technology, specifically to a material intelligent distribution and intelligent sorting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The non-ferrous metallurgical industry has a low level of automation. In the traditional way, in the antimony ingot smelting workshop, manual labor is generally used to label the materials, and then manual labor is used to handle, sort and feed the materials according to the raw material labels and the required raw material batch numbers.

[0003] The existing antimony ingot smelting process has strict requirements on the timing and ratio of raw material feeding. It uses manual sorting, which requires feeding about once a minute. This repetitive work is prone to errors and omissions, making it difficult to control the quality of the finished product. In addition, the temperature inside the combustion furnace in the antimony ingot smelting workshop is generally around 1000 degrees Celsius, and the air temperature in the work area also exceeds 100 degrees Celsius. The environment is harsh, and manual handling and feeding can easily cause burns. The labor intensity is high and the efficiency is low.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and proposed a smart material distribution and sorting equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an intelligent material distribution and sorting device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a material intelligent distribution and sorting device, comprising a first combustion furnace, a second combustion furnace, and a sorting and distribution intelligent component. The second combustion furnace is arranged parallel to the right side of the first combustion furnace, and feeding platforms are provided on both sides of the second combustion furnace and the first combustion furnace. A pushing mechanism is provided on the surface of the feeding platform. The sorting and distribution intelligent component is arranged parallel to one side of the first and second combustion furnaces. The sorting and distribution intelligent component includes a ground rail walking axis, a clamping robot, and a vision scanning device. The clamping robot is slidably mounted on the surface of the ground rail walking axis, and a vision scanning device is provided in the middle of the mechanical arm of the clamping robot. A clamping component is provided at the end of the mechanical arm of the clamping robot. A material receiving tray is arranged parallel to the side of the ground rail walking axis.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a cylinder, a piston rod, and a media tank. The bottom end of the cylinder is connected to the piston rod, and the outer wall of the piston rod is provided with a media tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the top surface of the media tank is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the end of the clamping robot's arm via a support rod, and the cylinder is fixed to the top surface of the end of the clamping robot's arm.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a transmission push rod and a clamping bar. The transmission push rod is provided on both sides of the bottom of the medium box, and the end of the transmission push rod is connected to the clamping bar.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a torsion spring shaft and an adaptive clamping member. The upper part of the inner cavity of the clamping bar is provided with a torsion spring shaft, and the outer wall of the torsion spring shaft is connected to the adaptive clamping member.

[0011] Furthermore, the adaptive clamping member is elastically rotatably connected to the clamping bar via a torsion spring shaft, and the side of the adaptive clamping member is adapted to the short side of the antimony ingot.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a media bladder, and the media bladder is disposed in the inner cavity of the clamping bar.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a media transfer box, which is connected to the side of the media bladder and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer side of the clamping bar.

[0014] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod passes through the bottom surface of the medium transmission tube box.

[0015] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes an insertion support plate, and the end of the telescopic rod is connected to the insertion support plate.

[0016] This utility model provides an intelligent material distribution and sorting device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This intelligent material distribution and sorting equipment utilizes a clamping robot in conjunction with a vision scanning device to control the clamping components to automatically clamp antimony ingot raw materials and deliver them to the feeding platform. This replaces manual labor in performing repetitive operations, thereby freeing workers from harsh working environments characterized by numerous hazards, high labor intensity, high noise, and poor working conditions. It also replaces manual labor in performing fully automated intelligent distribution and sorting according to production formula requirements, thereby improving efficiency.

[0018] 2. This intelligent material distribution and sorting equipment adapts to the process of the clamping component extending along with the clamping bar. The side of the clamping component contacts the antimony ingot and is thus subjected to force, causing it to rotate through the torsion spring shaft. This allows the side of the clamping component to match the inclined surface of the antimony ingot, thereby increasing the clamping area of ​​the antimony ingot and improving clamping stability. The rotational action compresses the medium bladder, causing the insertion support plate to extend and insert into the bottom surfaces of both sides of the antimony ingot. Thus, during the lifting and movement of the antimony ingot carried by the clamping component, it provides clamping support from the inclined surfaces of both sides and the bottom surface of the antimony ingot, thereby greatly improving the stability of the antimony ingot during clamping and movement.

[0019] 3. The intelligent material distribution and sorting equipment utilizes the neat stacking and single-row arrangement of antimony ingots to ensure that the bottom area of ​​the upper antimony ingot is larger than the top surface area of ​​the lower antimony ingot. This provides operational adjustment for the support plates, thereby preventing the antimony ingots from contacting other raw materials and falling over when they are clamped.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1-6As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a material intelligent distribution and intelligent sorting equipment, including a first combustion furnace 1, a second combustion furnace 2 and a sorting and distribution intelligent component 5. The second combustion furnace 2 is arranged parallel to the right side of the first combustion furnace 1, and feeding platforms 3 are arranged on both sides of the second combustion furnace 2 and the first combustion furnace 1. The surface of the feeding platform 3 is provided with a pushing mechanism 4. The sorting and distribution intelligent component 5 is arranged parallel to one side of the first combustion furnace 1 and the second combustion furnace 2. The sorting and distribution intelligent component 5 includes a ground rail walking shaft 501, a clamping robot 502 and a vision scanning device 503. The clamping robot 502 is slidably arranged on the surface of the ground rail walking shaft 501, and the vision scanning device 503 is arranged in the middle section of the mechanical arm of the clamping robot 502. The end of the mechanical arm of the clamping robot 502 is provided with a clamping component 6. The side of the ground rail walking shaft 501 is arranged parallel to the material receiving tray 7.

[0029] The specific operation is as follows: the first combustion furnace 1 and the second combustion furnace 2 are one for standby and one for use. The feeding platform 3 on both sides of the first combustion furnace 1 and the second combustion furnace 2 can be set to automatically feed the intelligent sorting and distribution component 5 on one side and manually replenish the material in case of abnormality on the other side.

[0030] Antimony ingot raw materials are delivered to the receiving pallet 7 by a forklift. The antimony ingots are trapezoidal in shape and neatly stacked in a single row. When clamping the antimony ingot raw materials in the pallet, the vision scanning device 503 scans the position of the antimony ingot raw materials in the pallet and sends coordinate information for the clamping robot 502 to automatically grasp. The clamping robot 502 slides along the surface of the ground track axis 501 to approach the antimony ingot raw materials according to the program number sent by the PLC scheduling program, and uses the clamping component 6 to clamp the antimony ingots. The robot system in the robot control cabinet is responsible for controlling the movement and processing the data of the clamping robot 502. It is equipped with a Profinet communication card and a TCP / IP communication card. The Profinet communication card communicates with the PLC system through the S7 protocol for signal interaction, and the TCP / IP communication card communicates with the vision system for signal interaction. The robot's local I / O module is also configured to perform status detection and movement control of the clamping component 6.

[0031] After being clamped, the antimony ingot is sent to the feeding platform 3 by the clamping robot 502, and then the feeding mechanism 4 pushes the antimony ingot on the surface of the feeding platform 3 into the first combustion furnace 1 or the second combustion furnace 2 for combustion and smelting.

[0032] Based on the above description, this utility model utilizes a clamping robot 502 in conjunction with a vision scanning device 503 to control the clamping component 6 to automatically clamp the antimony ingot raw materials and deliver them to the feeding platform 3. This replaces manual labor to perform repetitive operations, thereby freeing workers from harsh working environments with many hazards, high labor intensity, high noise, and poor working conditions. It also replaces manual labor for fully automated intelligent distribution and sorting according to production formula requirements, thereby improving efficiency.

[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the clamping assembly 6 includes a cylinder 601, a piston rod 602, and a media tank 603. The bottom end of the cylinder 601 is connected to the piston rod 602, and the media tank 603 is provided on the outer wall of the piston rod 602. The top surface of the media tank 603 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the end of the mechanical arm of the clamping robot 502 through a support rod, and the cylinder 601 is fixed to the top surface of the end of the mechanical arm of the clamping robot 502. The clamping assembly 6 also includes a transmission push rod 604 and a clamping bar 605. The transmission push rod 604 is provided on both sides of the bottom of the media tank 603, and the end of the transmission push rod 604 is connected to the clamping bar 605. The clamping assembly 6 also includes a torsion spring shaft 606 and an adaptive clamping member 607. The torsion spring shaft 606 is provided on the upper part of the inner cavity of the clamping bar 605, and the torsion spring shaft 607 is provided on the upper part of the inner cavity of the clamping bar 605. The outer wall of the clamping assembly 6 is connected to an adaptive clamping member 607. The adaptive clamping member 607 is elastically rotatably connected to the clamping bar 605 via a torsion spring shaft 606. The side of the adaptive clamping member 607 is adapted to the short side of the antimony ingot. The clamping assembly 6 also includes a medium bladder 608. The medium bladder 608 is provided in the inner cavity of the clamping bar 605. The clamping assembly 6 also includes a medium transmission tube box 609. The side of the medium bladder 608 is connected to the medium transmission tube box 609. The medium transmission tube box 609 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer side of the clamping bar 605. The clamping assembly 6 also includes a telescopic rod 610. The bottom surface of the medium transmission tube box 609 is provided with the telescopic rod 610. The clamping assembly 6 also includes an insertion support plate 611. The end of the telescopic rod 610 is connected to the insertion support plate 611.

[0034] The specific operation is as follows: the clamping component 6 moves to both sides of the short side of the antimony ingot through the visual scanning of the visual scanning device 503 and the control of the clamping robot 502. At this time, the two clamping bars 605 are located on both sides of the short side of the antimony ingot. The cylinder 601 carries the piston rod 602 to press down and squeeze the medium inside the medium box 603, so that the medium pushes the transmission push rod 604 to carry the clamping bars 605 out, so that the clamping bars 605 approach and abut against both sides of the antimony ingot.

[0035] Because the antimony ingot has a trapezoidal structure, the vertically set clamping bar 605 is difficult to hold the antimony ingot stably. However, as the adaptive clamping member 607 extends along with the clamping bar 605, the side of the adaptive clamping member 607 contacts the antimony ingot and is thus subjected to force, causing it to rotate through the torsion spring shaft 606. This allows the side of the adaptive clamping member 607 to adapt to the inclined surface of the antimony ingot, thereby increasing the clamping area of ​​the antimony ingot and improving the clamping stability.

[0036] Furthermore, during the rotation of the clamping component 607, it compresses the medium bladder 608. The compression of the medium bladder 608 causes the medium inside to enter the medium transmission tube box 609 and push the telescopic rod 610 to extend. This carries the insertion support plate 611 out and inserts it into the bottom surfaces of both sides of the antimony ingot. Thus, during the lifting and movement of the antimony ingot by the clamping component 6, it clamps and supports the antimony ingot from the inclined surfaces on both sides and its bottom surface, thereby greatly improving the stability of the antimony ingot during movement. At the same time, due to the neat stacking of the antimony ingots, the bottom surface area of ​​the upper antimony ingot is larger than the upper surface area of ​​the lower antimony ingot. This provides operational adjustment for the support plate 611, thereby preventing the antimony ingot from contacting other raw materials and falling over when clamping it.

[0037] In summary, when using this intelligent material distribution and sorting equipment, the first combustion furnace 1 and the second combustion furnace 2 are used as a standby unit. The feeding platforms 3 on both sides of the first combustion furnace 1 and the second combustion furnace 2 can be set so that one side is for automatic feeding of the intelligent sorting and distribution component 5, and the other side is for manual replenishment in case of abnormality.

[0038] Antimony ingot raw materials are delivered to the receiving pallet 7 by a forklift. The antimony ingots are in a trapezoidal shape and are neatly stacked in a single row. When clamping the antimony ingot raw materials in the pallet, the vision scanning device 503 scans the position of the antimony ingot raw materials in the pallet and sends coordinate information to the clamping robot 502 for automatic gripping. The clamping robot 502 slides along the surface of the ground track axis 501 to approach the antimony ingot raw materials according to the program number sent by the PLC scheduling program, and uses the clamping component 6 to clamp the antimony ingots.

[0039] The clamping assembly 6 moves to both sides of the short side of the antimony ingot through visual scanning by the visual scanning device 503 and control by the clamping robot 502. At this time, the two clamping bars 605 are located on both sides of the short side of the antimony ingot. The cylinder 601 carries the piston rod 602 to press down and squeeze the medium inside the medium tank 603, so that the medium pushes the transmission push rod 604 to carry the clamping bars 605 out, so that the clamping bars 605 approach and abut against both sides of the antimony ingot.

[0040] Because the antimony ingot has a trapezoidal structure, the vertically set clamping bar 605 is difficult to hold the antimony ingot stably. However, as the adaptive clamping member 607 extends along with the clamping bar 605, the side of the adaptive clamping member 607 contacts the antimony ingot and is thus subjected to force, causing it to rotate through the torsion spring shaft 606. This allows the side of the adaptive clamping member 607 to adapt to the inclined surface of the antimony ingot, thereby increasing the clamping area of ​​the antimony ingot and improving the clamping stability.

[0041] Furthermore, during the rotation of the clamping component 607, it compresses the medium bladder 608. The compression of the medium bladder 608 causes the medium inside to enter the medium transmission tube box 609 and push the telescopic rod 610 to extend, thereby carrying the insertion support plate 611 to extend and insert it into the bottom surfaces on both sides of the antimony ingot. Thus, during the lifting and moving of the antimony ingot by the clamping component 6, it clamps and supports the antimony ingot from the inclined surfaces on both sides and its bottom surface, thereby greatly improving the stability of the antimony ingot during movement.

[0042] After being clamped, the antimony ingot is sent to the feeding platform 3 by the clamping robot 502. Then, the pushing mechanism 4 pushes the antimony ingot on the surface of the feeding platform 3 into the first combustion furnace 1 or the second combustion furnace 2 for combustion and smelting.

[0043] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
