[0034] Example

[0035] like Figures 1-9As shown, this embodiment provides a quantitative material distribution device for a PC production line, suitable for the production of various PC components, such as precast wall panels and floor slabs, and capable of meeting different production needs. It includes: a traveling mechanism 1, a control console 2 located on one side of the traveling mechanism 1, a hopper 3 located above the traveling mechanism 1 for storing concrete slurry, and a material distribution mechanism 4 located at the bottom of the hopper 3. It also includes: a height adjustment mechanism 5 located on one side of the hopper 3 and a cleaning mechanism 6 located on one side of the material distribution mechanism 4. The material distribution mechanism 4 includes: a stirring spiral roller 41 located inside the hopper 3, a stirring motor 42 located at one end of the stirring spiral roller 41, a material distribution wheel 43 located below the stirring spiral roller 41, a material distribution motor 44 located at one end of the material distribution wheel 43, and a material distribution device located below the material distribution wheel 43. The material feeding mechanism 4 includes a square material feeding plate assembly 45 and a material feeding cylinder assembly 46 located on one side of the material feeding plate assembly 45. A flowing mold table 7 is installed below the material feeding mechanism 4. The mixing spiral roller 41 can evenly push the concrete slurry in the hopper 3 to the material feeding wheel 43, which then evenly distributes the slurry into the mold, effectively avoiding uneven material distribution and minimizing material distribution error. Through precise control of the material feeding plate assembly 45 and the material feeding cylinder assembly 46, the material distribution amount can be accurately adjusted, further ensuring the uniformity of material distribution. The mixing motor 42 and the material feeding motor 44 control the operation of the spiral roller and the material feeding wheel 43 respectively, and the mixing and material feeding speeds can be independently adjusted according to actual production needs, achieving automated operation. The design of the height adjustment mechanism 5 and the material feeding plate assembly 45 allows them to adapt to molds of different heights and shapes, exhibiting excellent versatility.

[0036] The walking mechanism 1 includes a transverse walking component 11 for controlling the hopper 3 to move laterally and a longitudinal walking component 12 disposed above the transverse walking component 11 for controlling the hopper 3 to move longitudinally. By controlling the running direction and position of the transverse walking component 11 and the longitudinal walking component 12, and coordinating with the opening and closing timing of the material feeding port of the hopper 3, uniform material feeding can be achieved, enabling flexible movement of the equipment, improving the applicability and working efficiency of the equipment. Furthermore, the walking mechanism 1 can move on the PC production line according to the instructions of the control console 2, realizing automatic material feeding, reducing manual intervention, and improving production efficiency.

[0037] Meanwhile, the lateral travel assembly 11 includes: a plurality of vertically arranged columns 111, a plurality of crossbeams 112 arranged between the columns 111, two first guide rails 113 arranged on the crossbeams 112, a first servo motor 114 arranged on one side of the first guide rail 113, a first gear 115 arranged at the output end of the first servo motor 114, a first rack 116 arranged on the adjacent side of the first guide rail 113 and meshing with the first gear 115, a receiving rod 117 slidably connected above the first guide rail 113, and a second guide rail 118 arranged on the receiving rod 117, wherein the longitudinal travel assembly 12 is provided on the receiving rod 117.

[0038] In this embodiment, the longitudinal walking component 12 includes: a movable seat 121 slidably connected to the second guide rail 118, a second servo motor 122 disposed on one side of the second guide rail 118, a second gear 123 disposed at the output end of the second servo motor 122, and a second rack 124 disposed on the adjacent side of the second guide rail 118 and meshing with the second gear 123. Its overall structure is simple and easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0039] In this embodiment, the movable seat 121 is fixedly connected to the hopper 3 and the height adjustment mechanism 5, which improves the adaptability of the equipment and enables it to cope with various working scenarios.

[0040] In this embodiment, the height adjustment mechanism 5 includes: a support frame 51 for mounting the hopper 3 and disposed above the movable seat 121; a height adjustment motor 53 disposed on the upper surface of the movable seat 121; a transmission shaft 54 ​​disposed at both ends of the height adjustment motor 53; a gearbox 55 disposed at the end of the transmission shaft 54; and a lifting assembly 56 disposed on one side of the gearbox 55. After the height adjustment motor 53 is started, it transmits power to the gearbox 55 through the transmission shaft 54. The output shaft of the gearbox 55 is a trapezoidal screw 561. A trapezoidal nut 562 is welded and fixed on the hopper 3 frame. When the screw rotates, the trapezoidal nut 562 can drive the hopper 3 frame to lift as a whole.

[0041] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 56 includes: a trapezoidal screw 561 disposed at the output end of the gearbox 55 and a trapezoidal nut 562 disposed on the support frame 51 and adapted to the trapezoidal screw 561. Because the trapezoidal thread has high transmission accuracy, it can achieve precise height adjustment and also has a certain self-locking performance, which can effectively prevent the support frame 51 from sliding due to external force during the lifting process. In addition, the trapezoidal thread has strong load-bearing capacity, which can meet the weight requirements of the hopper 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, the material distribution wheel 43 is a star-shaped wheel, with an 8mm-10mm gap between it and the inclined section of the hopper 3 wall. During the rotation of the star-shaped wheel, a relatively closed space with a volume of L is formed with the inclined section of the hopper 3. Each rotation of the star-shaped wheel forces 4L of concrete slurry into the material drop area. The star-shaped wheel is driven by a stepper motor. By controlling the number of rotations of the star-shaped wheel, quantitative material distribution can be achieved.

[0043] In this embodiment, to ensure structural strength, the hopper 3 is made of steel plates with a thickness of more than 8mm welded into a box-shaped structure. A high-strength wear-resistant liner is fixed to the inner side of the lower end of the hopper 3 with bolts to prevent the wall of the hopper 3 from thinning due to long-term friction during slurry mixing and material distribution. A T-shaped material drop chute is set at the bottom of the hopper 3, and material distribution is achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the insert plate group through a cylinder.

[0044] In this embodiment, the slurry in the hopper 3 is generally distributed in a quasi-normal pattern with a high center and low ends. It needs to be conveyed to both ends by the stirring spiral roller 41 to achieve uniform distribution of the slurry along the length of the hopper 3. At the same time, stirring prevents the concrete from segregating or solidifying, improves the fluidity of the concrete, and facilitates the slurry to fall into the distribution area. That is, the slurry that is uniformly distributed by the stirring spiral roller 41 falls down into the distribution area below through the gap between the stirring spiral roller 41 and the wall of the hopper 3. After the slurry enters the dropping area, by controlling the opening and closing time, position and number of the dropping cylinder group 46, and coordinating with the relative movement of the distribution device and the mold table 7, the concrete can be accurately placed into the mold.

[0045] In this embodiment, in order to move the slurry accumulated in the middle of the hopper 3 to both ends, the stirring spiral roller 41 needs to be designed into two sections along the middle of the length of the hopper 3, with the left section spiraling to the right and the right section spiraling to the left. The stirring motor 42 drives the stirring spiral roller 41 to rotate, and the stirring spiral roller 41 pushes the slurry to both ends.

[0046] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 6 includes a water spray pipe 61 for rinsing the hopper 3 and a vibrator 62 disposed on the outside of the hopper 3, so as to keep the hopper 3 clean, extend the service life of the equipment, and ensure the quality of the fabric.

[0047] In this embodiment, after each work shift, the inner wall of the hopper 3 must be rinsed immediately. The high-pressure water flow and vibration can remove most of the adhering concrete. If the concrete slump is too small and the material does not fall smoothly during the component pouring process, the vibrator 62 must also be turned on to help with the material discharge.

[0048] In this embodiment, the control console 2 contains a fabric control system. Specifically, the control system host has a drawing recognition function. The user directly inputs CAD drawings into the control system, and the system assembles the recognized component shape, volume, notch position, and other information into machine language through an encoder to control the opening and closing time of the fabric device, thereby achieving effective control of the fabric quantity and position.

[0049] Of course, since CAD drawing input and recognition technology solves the problem of obtaining component information and establishes a data model that the system can recognize for a specific component, the concrete slurry must be placed in the mold cavity to form, so a mold installation origin position that the system can recognize needs to be established.

[0050] In addition, when the PC production line mold table 7 reaches the stop point of the material placement and vibration station, the photoelectric sensor sends a signal, the PLC controller cuts off the power to the drive motor, and stops the mold table 7 at the designated position of the material placement station. A mold placement origin point is also set on the mold table 7, which is generally located to the left front of the operator's position. No matter what component is being produced, the mold placement must start from the mold placement origin point. This point is also the starting point and reset point of the material placement operation of the material placement device.

[0051] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: When the material placement operation begins, under the control of the PLC system, the material placement device controls the position of the material placement device relative to the material placement origin by calculating the rotation of the first servo motor 114 and the second servo motor 122 according to the identified component information model. The height of the material placement port is adjusted by controlling the rotation of the height adjustment motor to adapt to different component heights. The material placement amount is controlled by calculating the rotation of the material placement motor 44 and the material placement wheel 43. During the process, the stirring motor 42 rotates at low speed to improve the state of the concrete slurry and continuously deliver the slurry to both ends of the hopper 3, ensuring that the star wheel metering area is always filled with slurry. The opening and closing time of the material dropping cylinder and the material dropping plate are controlled by the solenoid valve group, that is, the working state of the material dropping cylinder group 46 and the material dropping plate group 45 is controlled, so as to realize the precise placement of concrete slurry in the mold cavity. After the placement of a single component is completed, the material placement device returns to the material placement origin, realizing one material placement operation cycle. The material placement control system has a reset function. After reset, the material placement device automatically returns to the material placement origin position.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
