Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to smelting, specifically to an automatic resin drum feeding robot workstation. Background Technology
[0002] The first stage of the ultra-high voltage insulator production line currently involves manual labor to carry metal barrels filled with curing resin one by one from a ground trolley to a melting furnace platform more than one meter high. These barrels are then placed from a designated window to a designated position, with seven barrels placed consecutively within a designated circular area on the platform at a time. Each barrel is rotated 180° from its bottom to its top and inverted so that the resin inside can gradually melt and flow into the mold inside the melting furnace for casting. Since each barrel weighs 25-30 kg, manual handling is extremely strenuous. While it was considered to use a gantry robot to replace manual handling, the robot would push away or even tip over the first barrel after the second barrel was placed on the platform, as the robot requires space to open and grip, making it unsuitable as a replacement for manual labor. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above problems, this utility model proposes an automatic resin barrel feeding robot workstation.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model:
[0005] An automatic resin barrel feeding robot workstation includes a melting furnace, a rail, and a feeding trolley. The rail is laid in front of the melting furnace, and the feeding trolley is mounted on the rail and moves along the rail. A rotating pallet is installed on the feeding trolley, and a locking mechanism is installed on the rotating pallet. Several resin barrels are placed on the rotating pallet, and the locking mechanism locks each resin barrel. The feeding trolley transports the resin barrels forward to the melting furnace. At the melting furnace, the rotating pallet rotates 180° to invert each resin barrel and send it into the melting furnace.
[0006] Further refining the above technical solution, the loading trolley body includes a base frame and two side columns, with the two side columns fixedly connected to the base frame; the rotating pallet is L-shaped and supported on the base frame, with a rotating shaft fixed at its upper end, the rotating shaft being installed on the two side columns, and the rotating shaft being connected to a driving device, which drives the rotating shaft to rotate, causing the rotating pallet to flip accordingly; in order for the rotating pallet to flip smoothly, the base frame is partially perforated to avoid the rotating pallet.
[0007] Further refining the above technical solution, the driving device is a reversing drive motor.
[0008] Further refining the above technical solution, the locking mechanism includes several external gear rings, several latches, and several stop bars. Each external gear ring is mounted on a rotating tray and connected to each other via several gears. Each latch is distributed within the inner ring of each external gear ring and hinged to it. Each stop bar is distributed within the inner side of each external gear ring, located on the side of each latch, with each latch resting against a stop bar. At least one gear among the gears is a driving gear. When the driving gear rotates, each external gear ring rotates, and each latch rotates with each external gear ring, either freeing itself from the restriction of the stop bars or converging under their restriction. Each resin cylinder is located within its respective external gear ring, and each latch, constrained by the stop bars, converges to lock each resin cylinder. Locking and releasing the resin cylinders is convenient; it does not damage the resin cylinders, allowing for repeated use; and the resin cylinders are securely locked.
[0009] Further refining the above technical solution, the contact surface between the latch and the stop bar is an arc surface; this makes it less likely for the latch to get stuck during the process of "breaking free from the restrictions of each stop bar or gathering under the restrictions of each stop bar".
[0010] Further refining the above technical solution, the stop bar is a round bar; at least three stop bars are installed on the inner side of the outer gear ring, which are fixed on the rotating tray and jointly support the outer gear ring.
[0011] Further refining the above technical solution, the rotating tray is provided with circular grooves to accommodate each external gear ring and each gear. This provides a certain degree of protection for the external gear rings and gears.
[0012] Further refining the above technical solution, the rail is provided with side wings, and the wheels of the loading trolley are equipped with auxiliary wheels; when the loading trolley is installed on the rail and moves along the rail, its wheels are placed on the rail, and the auxiliary wheels are located below the side wings and fastened to the side wings; so that the loading trolley moves smoothly.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are that it is reasonably designed, has a simple structure, and can accurately and smoothly deliver multiple resin cylinders into the melting furnace at one time (by being passed through the window and placed in the designated position on the melting furnace platform).

The rail 2 is laid in front of the melting furnace 1, and the feeding trolley 3 is installed on the rail 2. A rotating pallet 4 is installed on the feeding trolley 3, and a locking mechanism 5 is installed on the rotating pallet 4. The body 3-1 of the feeding trolley includes a base frame 3-1-1 and two side columns 3-1-2, which are fixedly connected to the base frame 3-1-1. The rotating pallet 4 is L-shaped and supported on the base frame 3-1-1. A rotating shaft 6 is fixed to its upper end, and the shaft 6 is mounted on two side columns 3-1-2. The rotating shaft 3-1-2 is connected to a tilting drive motor (mounted on the body 3-1 of the loading trolley). The base frame 3-1-1 is partially hollowed out. The locking mechanism 7 includes several external gear rings 5-1, several latches 5-2, and several stop bars 5-3. Each external gear ring 5-1 is mounted on the rotating pallet 4. The gears are connected by several gears 5-4. Each latch 5-2 is located on the inner ring of each external gear ring 5-1 and hinged to it. Each stop rod 5-3 is installed on the inner side of each external gear ring 5-1, located on the side of each latch 5-2. Each latch 5-2 rests against each stop rod 5-3. At least one gear in each gear 5-4 is a driving gear. The contact surface between the latch 5-2 and the stop rod 5-3 is an arc surface. The stop rod 5-3 is a round rod. There are at least three stop bars 5-2 on the inner side of the ring 5-1, which are fixed on the rotating tray 4 and jointly support the outer gear ring 5-1; the rotating tray 4 is provided with a circular groove 7 to accommodate each outer gear ring 5-1 and each gear 5-4; the rail 2 is provided with a side wing 8, and the wheels 3-2 of the loading trolley are equipped with auxiliary wheels 9; when the loading trolley 3 is installed on the rail 2, its wheels 3-2 are placed on the rail 2, and the auxiliary wheels 9 are located below the side wing 8 and are fastened to the side wing 8.
[0021] When the above workstation is in use, several resin cylinders 10 are placed on the rotating tray 4 and located inside each external gear ring 5-1. The drive gear rotates (forward), and each external gear ring 5-1 rotates accordingly. Each latch 5-2 is brought together under the restriction of each stop bar 5-3, locking each resin cylinder 10. The loading trolley 3 moves along the track 2 to the front of the melting machine 1. The flip drive motor drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, and the rotating tray 4 is flipped 180° accordingly, inverting each resin cylinder 10 and sending it into the melting furnace 1. The drive gear rotates (reverse), and each external gear ring 5-1 rotates accordingly. Each latch 5-2 is released from the restriction of each stop bar 5-3, releasing each resin cylinder 10; thus completing one loading cycle.
