Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product handling technology, specifically a refractory brick conversion, handling and conveying structure. Background Technology

[0002] Refractory materials are generally divided into two types: unshaped refractories and shaped refractories. Unshaped refractories, also called castables, are mixed powdery granules composed of various aggregates and one or more binders. They must be mixed with one or more liquids before use and have strong fluidity. Shaped refractories generally refer to refractory bricks, which have standard and regular shapes, but can also be custom-made on-site as needed.

[0003] Refractory bricks come in a variety of shapes, such as those specified in CN202121542606.X for bricks used in coking furnace inspection holes, or CN202022616394.7 for composite refractory bricks, etc. The handling of refractory bricks is increasingly automated or semi-automated, using robotic arms. Currently, in production, there are issues with different pallet sizes; for example, 8 rows and 9 columns may need to be converted to 6 rows and 6 columns. If the refractory bricks are rectangular, the conversion is relatively easy; however, if they are isosceles trapezoids, it can be difficult to separate the materials.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a refractory brick transfer and conveying structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a refractory brick conversion and conveying structure to solve the technical problem of the difficulty in converting pallets from 8 rows and 9 columns to 6 rows and 6 columns for automatic material distribution.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A refractory brick transfer and conveying structure includes:

[0008] Refractory bricks; the longitudinal ends of refractory bricks are not the same length, and the contact surfaces of two adjacent groups of refractory bricks are of equal length and abut against each other;

[0009] The first supporting tray has refractory bricks arranged in 8 rows and 9 columns.

[0010] The second bearing tray has refractory bricks arranged in 6 rows and 6 columns. The sides of adjacent refractory bricks in the same row on the first and second bearing trays are attached together, and the refractory bricks in the same row are laid horizontally.

[0011] A conveyor frame 1, a conveyor belt 1 is installed inside the conveyor frame 1, and a handling robot 1 is installed outside the conveyor belt 1. The handling robot 1 is suitable for transporting a row of refractory bricks on a pallet 1 to the conveyor belt 1 in a single operation.

[0012] Conveyor frame two, with conveyor belt two installed inside conveyor frame two. Conveyor belt one and conveyor belt two are adjacent to each other. Refractory bricks are suitable for sliding from conveyor belt one to conveyor belt two. Handling robots two are installed on both sides of conveyor belt two, and a partition is set in the middle. The two sides of the partition are area one and area two, respectively. The two handling robots two are suitable for handling six refractory bricks from conveyor belt two to the corresponding carrying pallet two in a single operation. The longitudinal position of area one is parallel to the longitudinal position of the handling robot one when it is unloading from conveyor belt one.

[0013] Screening component, suitable for pushing the 7th refractory brick conveyed on conveyor belt one each time from longitudinal parallel area one to longitudinal parallel area two;

[0014] The clamping element is installed on the second conveyor belt and is adapted to push the corresponding six refractory bricks toward the partition.

[0015] When the seventh refractory brick passes through the first conveyor belt, the response time is set, the drive unit stops driving the first conveyor belt, and ensures that the seventh refractory brick stops at the bottom of the support body. The push plate under the support body rotates with the rotating motor, driving the lead screw forward and pushing the refractory brick to move longitudinally. This achieves the longitudinal movement from the longitudinal position of parallel area one of the first conveyor belt to the longitudinal position of parallel area two, thereby enabling the first conveyor belt to start running again, driving the refractory brick from area two to the carrying pallet two, realizing the standard transfer from 8 rows and 9 columns to 6 rows and 6 columns.

[0016] The initial position of the bent clamp is suitable for restricting the movement of refractory bricks;

[0017] When the counting sensor on conveyor belt 2 detects the sixth refractory brick, a response time is set to ensure that the six sets of refractory bricks are in horizontal contact. The corresponding drive component stops rotating the conveyor belt, the clamping component is activated, and the clamping cylinder squeezes and restricts the six sets of refractory bricks longitudinally, thus completing the arrangement of the six sets of refractory bricks.

[0018] The first handling robot is equipped with a first clamp, which is suitable for gripping nine groups of refractory bricks that are not arranged in a rectangular shape; similarly, the second handling robot is equipped with a second clamp, which is suitable for gripping six groups of refractory bricks that are not arranged in a rectangular shape.

[0019] In a further technical solution, the longitudinal section of the refractory brick is trapezoidal, and the hypotenuses of two adjacent sets of refractory bricks abut each other.

[0020] In a further technical solution, the longitudinal section of the refractory brick is rectangular.

[0021] In a further technical solution, both conveyor belt one and conveyor belt two are equipped with a driving component and a tensioning component. The driving component includes a driving motor, and a pulley one is installed at the output end of the driving motor. Both conveyor belt one and conveyor belt two are equipped with guide rollers, and a pulley two is installed at the end of the guide rollers. A transmission belt is installed between pulley one and pulley two. Conveyor belt one or conveyor belt two is connected to the corresponding tensioning component.

[0022] In a further technical solution, the screening component includes a support body, the bottom of which is fixed to a conveyor frame. A rotary motor is installed at one end of the support body, and a lead screw is installed at the bottom of the support body. The output end of the rotary motor is coaxially connected to the lead screw. A nut seat is installed on the lead screw, and a push plate is installed on the side plate of the nut seat. The bottom height of the nut seat is higher than the height of the refractory brick.

[0023] Counting sensors are installed on both conveyor belt 1 and conveyor belt 2; when conveyor belt 1 senses the passage of the 7th refractory brick, the response time is set, and the drive component stops driving conveyor belt 1.

[0024] In a further technical solution, the clamping element includes a fixing plate, which is mounted on the second conveyor frame;

[0025] A clamping cylinder is mounted on the fixed plate. The output end of the clamping cylinder passes through the fixed plate and is fitted with a bending clamp. The bending clamp is adapted to move and abut against the partition and the six sets of refractory bricks. The bending clamp can achieve the effect of abutting and restricting the refractory bricks even in its initial position.

[0026] In a further technical solution, the bending clamp is "L" shaped, with one end bent away from the conveyor belt, and the bend is suitable for restricting the movement of refractory bricks.

[0027] In a further technical solution, a guide rod is installed at the bottom of the support body, and the guide rod is adapted to pass through the nut seat;

[0028] The horizontal length of the pusher plate is greater than the length of the refractory brick.

[0029] Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages:

[0030] This invention features a mechanism that, upon sensing the passage of the 7th refractory brick on conveyor belt one, triggers a set response time. The drive unit then stops driving conveyor belt one, ensuring the 7th refractory brick stops at the bottom of the support structure. A push plate under the support structure rotates with the motor, driving a lead screw forward and propelling the refractory brick longitudinally. This achieves the movement from the longitudinal position of parallel area one on conveyor belt one to the longitudinal position of parallel area two, allowing conveyor belt one to restart and transfer the refractory brick from area two to the carrying tray two. This reduces the standard transfer distance from 8 rows and 9 columns to 6 rows and 6 columns, offering convenient automation advantages. It overcomes the technical problems of refractory brick distribution conversion in enterprises and is beneficial for storage or subsequent processing.

[0031] The initial position of the bending clamp is suitable for restricting the movement of refractory bricks, which can ensure that the first refractory brick is limited and subsequently abuts against the following refractory bricks; the clamping cylinder is set to squeeze and drive the six groups of refractory bricks to abut against the partition in the longitudinal direction, completing the arrangement of the six groups of refractory bricks, which is conducive to the rapid completion of the handling robot.

[0051] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0052] like Figure 1 The diagram shows refractory bricks on carrier tray one and carrier tray two, respectively. The refractory bricks are in the shape of isosceles trapezoids or rectangles, with adjacent sides of equal length touching each other in the same row, which facilitates handling. When the shape is rectangular, the robotic arm can handle the bricks as long as the quantity is met. When the shape is isosceles trapezoidal, in order to ensure that adjacent refractory bricks remain adjacent and touching each other after being arranged, and that the refractory bricks in the same row can be laid horizontally, it is necessary to remove refractory bricks at specific positions.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] Please see Figure 1-5 This invention provides a technical solution for refractory brick transfer, handling, and conveying structures, comprising:

[0055] Refractory brick 1; the contact surfaces of two adjacent sets of refractory bricks 1 in the same row are of equal length and abut against each other;

[0056] The supporting pallet 12 has refractory bricks 1 arranged in 8 rows and 9 columns on it.

[0057] The second bearing tray 3 has refractory bricks 1 arranged in 6 rows and 6 columns; the sides of adjacent refractory bricks 1 in the same row on the first bearing tray 2 and the second bearing tray 3 are attached together, and the refractory bricks 1 in the same row are laid horizontally.

[0058] A conveyor frame 4 is installed inside the conveyor frame 4, and a handling robot 42 is installed outside the conveyor belt 41. The handling robot 42 is suitable for transporting a row of refractory bricks 1 on a pallet 2 to the conveyor belt 41 in a single operation.

[0059] Conveyor frame 2 5, with conveyor belt 2 51 installed inside. Conveyor belt 1 41 and conveyor belt 2 51 are adjacent. Refractory bricks 1 are adapted to slide from conveyor belt 1 41 to conveyor belt 2 51. Handling robots 2 52 are installed on both sides of conveyor belt 2 51, and a partition 53 is set in the middle. The two sides of the partition 53 are area 1 100 and area 2 200, respectively. The handling robots 2 52 on both sides are adapted to transport six refractory bricks 1 from conveyor belt 2 51 to the corresponding carrying tray 2 3 in a single operation. The longitudinal position of area 1 100 is parallel to the longitudinal position of the handling robot 1 42 when it is unloading from conveyor belt 1 41. The horizontal length of the refractory bricks is greater than the distance between conveyor frame 1 and conveyor frame 2, ensuring that they can be stably transported from conveyor belt 1 to conveyor belt 2 during transport.

[0060] Screening component 6 is adapted to push the 7th refractory brick 1 conveyed on conveyor belt 41 from longitudinal parallel region 100 to longitudinal parallel region 200.

[0061] Clamping element 7 is installed on conveyor belt 2 51 and is adapted to push the corresponding six refractory bricks 1 toward the partition. Figure 2 The display shows the distribution of each location. The handling robot can perform gripping and handling functions in a multi-axis manner, and the feeding methods of carrier pallet one and carrier pallet two are not limited. Figure 2 Chinese style, Figure 2 The first type of pallet is transported by a conveyor belt, while the second type of pallet is displayed by stacking. In actual production, the production layout needs to be combined with the actual methods of the enterprise.

[0062] When the seventh refractory brick passes by, the response time is set, and its duration is related to the installation position of the counting sensor and the overall response time. The drive unit stops driving conveyor belt one, ensuring that the seventh refractory brick stops at the bottom of the support body. The push plate under the support body rotates with the rotating motor, driving the lead screw forward and pushing the refractory brick longitudinally. This moves the brick from the longitudinal position of parallel area one to the longitudinal position of parallel area two, thus restarting conveyor belt one and transferring the refractory brick from area two to the carrying tray two, achieving a standard transfer from 8 rows and 9 columns to 6 rows and 6 columns.

[0063] The initial position of the bending clamp is suitable for restricting the movement of refractory bricks, which ensures that the first refractory brick is stopped and subsequently abuts against the next refractory brick;

[0064] When the counting sensor on conveyor belt 2 detects the sixth refractory brick, a response time is set to ensure that the six sets of refractory bricks are in horizontal contact. The corresponding drive component stops rotating the conveyor belt, the clamping component is activated, and the clamping cylinder squeezes and restricts the six sets of refractory bricks longitudinally, thus completing the arrangement of the six sets of refractory bricks.

[0065] The first handling robot is equipped with a first clamp, which is suitable for gripping nine groups of refractory bricks that are not arranged in a rectangular shape; similarly, the second handling robot is equipped with a second clamp, which is suitable for gripping six groups of refractory bricks that are not arranged in a rectangular shape.

[0066] The longitudinal section of the refractory brick 1 is trapezoidal or rectangular. When it is trapezoidal, it is an isosceles trapezoid, and the hypotenuses of two adjacent sets of refractory bricks 1 abut against each other. Figure 1 Two types of refractory bricks, trapezoidal and rectangular, are shown. Figure 4 Refractory bricks that are isosceles trapezoidal in shape.

[0067] like Figure 5 The image shows a side view of the screening component 6. The screening component 6 includes a support body 61, the bottom of which is fixed to the conveyor frame 4. A rotary motor 62 is installed at the end of the support body 61, and a lead screw 63 is installed at the bottom of the support body 61. The output end of the rotary motor 62 is coaxially connected to the lead screw 63. A nut seat 64 is installed on the lead screw 63, and a push plate 65 is installed on the side plate of the nut seat 64. One end of the lead screw is connected to the rotary motor through a coupling, and both ends of the lead screw rotate within the support body through bearings.

[0068] A counting sensor 12 is installed on both conveyor belt 41 and conveyor belt 51; when conveyor belt 41 senses the passage of the 7th refractory brick 1, the response time is set, and the drive component 8 stops driving conveyor belt 41.

[0069] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the clamping member 7 includes a fixing plate 71, which is mounted on the conveyor frame 5.

[0070] A clamping cylinder 72 is installed on the fixed plate 71. The output end of the clamping cylinder 72 passes through the fixed plate 71 and is fitted with a bending clamp 73. The bending clamp 73 is adapted to move and abut against the partition 53 and the six sets of refractory bricks 1.

[0071] The bending clamp 73 is L-shaped, with one end bent away from the conveyor belt 41, and the bend is suitable for restricting the movement of the refractory brick 1.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] like Figure 6-8As shown, another embodiment of this utility model is presented. Based on embodiment 1, both conveyor belt 41 and conveyor belt 51 are equipped with a driving component 8 and a tensioning component 9. The driving component 8 includes a drive motor, and a pulley 81 is installed at the output end of the drive motor. Guide rollers 10 are installed on both conveyor belt 41 and conveyor belt 51, and pulleys 101 are installed at the ends of the guide rollers 10. A transmission belt 11 is installed between pulleys 81 and 101. Conveyor belt 41 or conveyor belt 51 is connected to the corresponding tensioning component 9. A guide rod 66 is installed at the bottom of the support body 61, and the guide rod 66 is adapted to pass through the nut seat 64. The horizontal length of the push plate 65 is greater than the length of the refractory brick 1. The tensioning component is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, there are two sets of tensioning rollers that can be adjusted up and down. These rollers engage with each other to adjust the tension of conveyor belt one or conveyor belt two.
