Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sampling equipment technology, specifically relating to an intelligent sampling robot for copper concentrate. Background Technology

[0002] Copper concentrate refers to the mineral product with a relatively high copper content (usually 20%-40%) obtained after copper ore has undergone beneficiation processes such as crushing, grinding, and flotation. It is typically in powder or fine granular form and is used as a smelting raw material to further produce crude copper or electrolytic copper. Sampling is a crucial step in ensuring the accuracy of ore composition analysis during the production and quality testing of copper concentrate.

[0003] Traditional copper concentrate sampling mainly relies on manual labor, but manual labor has the following technical drawbacks: 1. Manual sampling requires close contact with the ore pile, which is susceptible to dust pollution; 2. The moisture content of copper concentrate, ambient temperature and humidity, and airflow conditions (such as wind direction and wind speed) directly affect the physicochemical properties of the ore, but existing equipment cannot record environmental data during sampling in real time, resulting in subsequent test results not being accurately correlated with the working conditions.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor conducted in-depth research on the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent sampling robot for copper concentrate. The robot can automatically sample and monitor and record the temperature, humidity, wind direction and speed in real time during sampling, so that the subsequent test results can be accurately correlated with the working conditions.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A copper concentrate intelligent sampling robot includes a mobile robot chassis, a sampling robotic arm mounted on the chassis, a sample receiving device, and an environmental monitoring device. The sampling robotic arm has a sampling gripper at its end and is positioned adjacent to the sample receiving device. The mobile robot chassis also has a camera for capturing images of the sampling robotic arm during sampling. The sample receiving device includes a receiving funnel and a shelf for placing the funnel; a sample bag can be fitted onto the funnel. The sample receiving device is located between the sampling robotic arm and the camera. Using a sample bag to preserve the sample reduces costs, and positioning the sample receiving device between the sampling robotic arm and the camera facilitates image capture of the sampling robotic arm by the camera.

[0008] Furthermore, the placement rack is provided with a loading plate and a unloading plate, with the loading plate located above the unloading plate. A placement cylinder for placing the receiving funnel is formed on the loading plate, and a placement hole for placing the receiving funnel is formed on the unloading plate. The placement hole is offset from the loading plate. Positioning the unloading plate below the loading plate lowers it, making it easier for workers to place the sample bag onto the receiving funnel.

[0009] Furthermore, the feeding plate is equipped with multiple placement cylinders, and multiple receiving funnels can be placed on the feeding plate simultaneously. By setting multiple receiving funnels, multiple ore piles can be sampled each time, improving sampling efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the environmental monitoring device includes an anemometer and a temperature and humidity detector. The environmental monitoring device can be used to monitor and record environmental data in real time during sampling.

[0011] Furthermore, the mobile robot chassis is also equipped with an electrical control cabinet and a robot teach pendant. Throughout the robot's operation, the robot teach pendant can monitor the robot's status in real time and make adjustments as needed.

[0012] Furthermore, the mobile robot chassis is equipped with anti-collision beams at both the front and rear ends; the mobile robot chassis is also equipped with shock absorbers. The shock absorbers make the mobile robot more stable when moving.

[0013] With the above structure, the intelligent copper concentrate sampling robot of this utility model, compared with the prior art, by mounting the sampling robotic arm on a mobile robot chassis, and having the mobile robot carry the sampling robotic arm to collect samples, can avoid workers from having close contact with the ore pile and being contaminated by dust. In addition, the mobile robot chassis is also equipped with a camera and an environmental monitoring device. The environmental monitoring device monitors the wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity during sampling in real time, and the camera captures the sampling process, which is convenient for subsequent sample testing to be accurately linked to the working conditions, and can meet the regulatory requirements of "full-process traceability" in quality disputes.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that similar or identical parts are referred to by the same reference numerals in the drawings or description. Implementations not shown or described in the drawings are forms known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the embodiments, such as "up," "down," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are only for reference to the directions in the drawings and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model relates to an intelligent copper concentrate sampling robot, which includes a mobile robot chassis 1, a sampling robotic arm 2 mounted on the mobile robot chassis 1, a sample receiving device 3, and an environmental monitoring device. The environmental monitoring device includes an anemometer and a temperature and humidity detector. Specifically, the environmental monitoring device can be a Fengtu FT-CQX5 five-element integrated weather station, which can monitor meteorological elements such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and air pressure in real time. The sampling robotic arm 2 is equipped with a sampling gripper 21 at its end. The sampling robotic arm 2 is set close to the sample receiving device 3, which makes it easier for the sampling robotic arm 2 to place the sample into the sample receiving device 3. The mobile robot chassis 1 is also equipped with a camera 5 that can capture images of the sampling robotic arm 2 during sampling. The camera 5 is mounted on a high bracket to avoid being blocked during the capture. Specifically, after the camera 5 captures an image, it can mark the sampling time, temperature and humidity at the time of sampling, and wind speed and direction on the image, and then upload it to the cloud. In addition, an electrical control cabinet and a robot teach pendant 7 are also provided on the mobile robot chassis 1. The mobile robot chassis 1, sampling robotic arm 2, camera 5 and environmental monitoring device are controlled through the electrical control cabinet. The robot teach pendant 7 can monitor the movement status of the entire robot in real time and make adjustments as needed. The robot teach pendant 7 and the electrical control cabinet can be connected via Ethernet or wireless communication.

[0020] In this embodiment, the sample receiving device 3 includes a receiving funnel 31 and a placement rack 32 for placing the receiving funnel 31. To reduce costs, a sample bag can be fitted onto the receiving funnel 31 to hold the sample. The sample bag can be a sealed bag, such as a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sealed bag or a PE sealed bag, which is lightweight, easy to seal, and has good corrosion resistance and moisture resistance. To facilitate the camera 5 in capturing images of the sampling robotic arm 2, the sample receiving device 3 is positioned between the sampling robotic arm 2 and the camera 5.

[0021] In this embodiment, the placement rack 32 is provided with a loading plate 321 and a unloading plate 322, with the loading plate 321 located above the unloading plate 322; a placement cylinder 3211 for placing the receiving funnel 31 is formed on the loading plate 321, and a placement hole 3221 for placing the receiving funnel 31 is formed on the unloading plate 322; the placement hole 3221 is offset from the loading plate 321. Before the preparation work is carried out, the sample bag needs to be manually put on the receiving funnel 31. In the specific operation, the receiving funnel 31 needs to be moved to the placement hole 3221 of the feeding plate 322 first, then the sample bag is put on the receiving funnel 31, and finally the receiving funnel 31 with the sample bag is moved and placed in the placement cylinder 3211 of the feeding plate 321. Therefore, the feeding plate 322 is set below the feeding plate 321, so that the feeding plate 322 is in a lower position, which makes it easier for the worker to put the sample bag on the receiving funnel 31.

[0022] To improve sampling efficiency and avoid frequent back-and-forth movements of the sampling robot, multiple placement cylinders 3211 can be provided on the feeding plate 321, and multiple receiving funnels 31 can be placed on the feeding plate 321 simultaneously. By setting multiple receiving funnels 31, multiple ore piles can be sampled each time, thus improving sampling efficiency. In addition, one or more unloading plates 322 can be set; setting one is suitable for single-person operation, while setting multiple plates is suitable for multi-person operation.

[0023] In this embodiment, anti-collision beams 11 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the mobile robot chassis 1; the mobile robot chassis 1 is also provided with shock absorbers 12. The shock absorbers 12 can make the mobile robot more stable when moving.

[0024] The method of using this utility model is as follows: The worker places the sample bag onto the receiving funnel 31 and moves it into the placement cylinder 3211 of the feeding plate 321. Then, the sampling robot is remotely controlled to the side of the refined copper ore pile, and the automatic sampling program is started. The sampling robotic arm 2 is controlled to grab the refined copper ore and place it into the sample bag. Simultaneously, the camera 5 captures the sampling action, marking the sampling time, temperature, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction on the image, and uploading the data to the cloud. After sampling, the worker remotely controls the sampling robot to its parking location, then removes the sample bag and affixes a label. The information recorded on the label should be consistent with the information recorded on the captured image. Finally, the sample bag is sent to the testing laboratory for testing.

[0025] The above provides a detailed description of the intelligent copper concentrate sampling robot provided by this utility model. The specific embodiments are described only to aid in understanding the method and core ideas of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this utility model without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
