Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of zinc ingot production lines, specifically to an automatic zinc stacking production line water-cooled chain tail ingot gathering device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, automated and intelligent control of zinc ingot stacking production lines has been implemented in the smelting and casting workshops of the hydrometallurgical zinc industry. Some zinc smelters use a double-row, four-ingot casting mode, which greatly increases production capacity. However, because quantitative casting is not possible, the produced zinc ingots vary in thickness and position at different points in the water-cooled ingot conveying chain. This causes the grippers of the palletizing robot to collide with the zinc ingots during the next automated stacking process, reducing the lifespan of the palletizing robot grippers and causing discontinuity in the automated production line program, which significantly impacts production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water-cooled chain tail-end ingot gathering device for an automatic zinc stacking production line. When the zinc ingot is transported to the tail end, it can complete a series of leveling, gathering, and lifting actions. It can be well integrated with the automatic zinc stacking production line and can achieve automation without affecting the production cycle, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An automatic zinc stacking production line water-cooled chain tail-end ingot gathering device includes: a production line frame, on which a sprocket assembly and a conveyor chain assembly are installed in meshing connection; a baffle plate, fixed to the upper side of the production line frame, with a groove on the lower side of the baffle plate, through which the conveyor chain assembly movably passes; two sets of ingot pushing mechanisms, respectively fixed to the left and right sides of the production line frame; and a lifting mechanism, fixed to the inner side of the production line frame, and located between the two sets of ingot pushing mechanisms.

[0006] To achieve better support for the baffle, the present invention preferably provides an organic tail shell on the outer side of the meshing connection between the sprocket assembly and the conveyor chain assembly, with the tail shell located on the rear side of the baffle.

[0007] To facilitate the simultaneous shaping of zinc ingots from both sides, the preferred embodiment of this invention includes a pushing mechanism comprising a mounting base, a cylinder, and a pushing plate. The mounting base is fixed to the side of the production line frame, the cylinder is detachably connected to the inner side of the mounting base, and the side of the pushing plate away from the conveyor chain is fixedly installed to the output end of the cylinder.

[0008] To facilitate the upward movement of the shaped zinc ingots, the preferred embodiment of this invention includes a second cylinder, a support plate, and multiple lifting plates. The bottom of the second cylinder is detachably connected to the production line frame. The bottom of the support plate is fixedly installed to the output end of the second cylinder. The lower ends of the multiple lifting plates are fixedly connected to the upper side of the support plate. The upper ends of the multiple lifting plates respectively movably penetrate multiple gaps in the conveyor chain assembly.

[0009] To facilitate automated sensing of zinc ingot position, this utility model preferably includes sensors installed on the left and right sides of the production line frame, with the sensors connected to cylinder two and cylinder one via signal connection.

[0010] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting baffles, ingot gathering mechanisms, and lifting mechanisms, when zinc ingots are transported to the end of the water-cooling chain of the production line, a series of leveling, ingot gathering, and lifting actions can be completed. This can be combined well with the automatic stacking of zinc production without affecting the production cycle, without the need for manual intervention, thus improving the ingot grabbing efficiency of the palletizing robot and reducing the wear of the palletizing robot's grippers.

[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, 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.

[0020] like Figure 1-6 As shown in the figure, this embodiment of an automatic zinc stacking production line water-cooled chain tail-end ingot gathering device includes:

[0021] Production line frame 1: The production line frame 1 is equipped with a sprocket group 101 and a conveyor chain group 102 that are meshed together. The sprocket group 101 is composed of multiple sprockets, and the conveyor chain group 102 is composed of multiple conveyor chains. The multiple sprockets are meshed with the multiple conveyor chains respectively.

[0022] Baffle 2: Baffle 2 is fixed to the upper side of the production line frame 1, and a groove 201 is provided on the lower side of baffle 2, through which the conveyor chain 102 movably passes;

[0023] Zinc ingot 3: Several zinc ingots are placed on the upper side of the conveyor chain group 102;

[0024] Two sets of pusher mechanisms 4: The two sets of pusher mechanisms 4 are fixed on the left and right sides of the production line frame 1 respectively, and the two sets of pusher mechanisms 4 are distributed in a mirror symmetrical manner;

[0025] The lifting mechanism 6 is fixed to the inside of the production line frame 1 and is located between the two sets of pusher mechanisms 4.

[0026] In this embodiment: the zinc ingots 3 are transported by the water-cooled chain of the production line to the tail ingot gathering device. The front sides of several zinc ingots are blocked by baffles 2, thereby limiting the front position of the zinc ingots 3. The output ends of two sets of pushing mechanisms 4 run in opposite directions at the same time, thereby gathering and shaping the left and right sides of the zinc ingots 3. Finally, the lifting mechanism 6 runs, which can make several shaped zinc ingots 3 move upward at the same time so that they can be grasped by the grippers of the palletizing robot later.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the tail shell 103 is installed on the outside of the meshing connection part of the sprocket assembly 101 and the conveyor chain assembly 102, and the tail shell 103 is located on the rear side of the baffle 2.

[0028] In this embodiment: by setting the tail shell 103, on the one hand, the tail sprocket assembly 101 can be protected, and on the other hand, since the tail shell 103 is located behind the baffle 2, when the zinc ingot 3 is transported backward and collides with the baffle 2, the tail shell 103 can provide a certain support for the baffle 2, reducing the risk of the baffle 2 being deformed by force.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the pusher mechanism 4 includes a mounting base 401, a cylinder 402 and a pusher plate 403. The mounting base 401 is fixed to the side of the production line frame 1. The cylinder 402 is detachably connected to the inner side of the mounting base 401. The side of the pusher plate 403 away from the conveyor chain group 102 is fixedly installed with the output end of the cylinder 402.

[0030] In this embodiment: After several zinc ingots 3 are conveyed backward and blocked by the baffle 2, the cylinder 402 fixed in the mounting base 401 can be easily disassembled and repaired by the staff. The two cylinders 402 operate at the same time, thereby driving the two push plates 403 to move to the opposite side at the same time, so as to quickly gather and shape the zinc ingots 3 on the left and right sides.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the lifting mechanism 6 includes a second cylinder 601, a support plate 602 and multiple lifting plates 603. The bottom of the second cylinder 601 is detachably connected to the production line frame 1. The bottom of the support plate 602 is fixedly installed to the output end of the second cylinder 601. The lower ends of the multiple lifting plates 603 are all fixedly connected to the upper side of the support plate 602. The upper ends of the multiple lifting plates 603 respectively movably pass through multiple gaps of the conveyor chain group 102.

[0032] In this embodiment: Cylinder 2 601 operates to lift support plate 602, which in turn drives multiple vertical lifting plates 603 to move up and down in the gaps between multiple conveyor chains, thereby simultaneously lifting several shaped zinc ingots 3. In addition, during the ingot gathering operation, the lifting mechanism 6 ensures that the zinc ingots are subjected to uniform force and do not tilt during the ingot gathering and pressing process.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, sensors 5 are installed on the left and right sides of the production line frame 1, and the sensors 5 are connected to cylinder 601 and two cylinders 402.

[0034] In this embodiment: at the end of the water-cooled chain of the production line, through the matching pneumatic device and automatic control system, sensor 5 senses the position of the zinc ingot and transmits the signal to the control terminal of cylinder 402 and cylinder 601, thereby controlling the shaping work of cylinder 402 and the lifting work of cylinder 601, so as to ensure that the continuous production time is not affected.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When several zinc ingots 3 are conveyed to the end of the water-cooled chain of the production line by the chain conveyor, the zinc ingots 3 are blocked by the baffle. Two cylinders 402 operate simultaneously, thereby driving two push plates 403 to move to opposite sides simultaneously to quickly gather and shape the zinc ingots 3 on both sides. After shaping, the gathering mechanism 4 resets. Cylinder 601 operates to lift the support plate 602. The support plate 602 drives multiple vertical lifting plates 603 to move up and down in the gaps between multiple conveyor chains to simultaneously lift the shaped zinc ingots 3. After completing a series of leveling, gathering, and lifting actions, the lifting mechanism 6 resets downwards.

[0036] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the embodiments of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for helping to understand the principles of the embodiments of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the embodiments of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
