Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic production technology, specifically to an automatic blank stacking machine for ceramic production. Background Technology
[0002] A brick stacking machine is a device used for automatically stacking brick blanks in tunnel kilns during primary and secondary firing. In ceramic production and processing, the brick stacking machine can be used to stack ceramic blanks. The brick stacking machine is an existing, mature product. This solution only improves the clamping of ceramic blanks during stacking. Currently, there are some shortcomings in automatically stacking ceramic blanks using a brick stacking machine. Because the shapes or sizes of the blanks vary, manual intervention is required when clamping ceramic blanks of different shapes or sizes, i.e., during shape changes, which affects production efficiency. To address these problems, the inventor proposes an automatic brick stacking machine for ceramic production. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the problem that it is inconvenient to clamp ceramic blanks of different shapes or sizes when automatically stacking ceramic blanks using a stacking machine, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic stacking machine for ceramic production.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic blank stacking machine for ceramic production, comprising a robotic arm, the robotic arm comprising a connecting shaft, a frame being provided at the shaft end of the connecting shaft, a clamping assembly being provided on the bottom surface of the frame, the clamping assembly comprising a fixed clamping member and a movable clamping member, the fixed clamping member and the movable clamping member corresponding to each other and having the same structure, both the fixed clamping member and the movable clamping member comprising a housing, a fixed sleeve being embedded and fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing, a clamping rod being slidably connected to the opening of the fixed sleeve, a movable plate being provided on one side of the fixed sleeve, and the movable plate corresponding to the rod end of the clamping rod, an air pipe being fixedly connected inside the housing, a vertical pipe being fixedly connected to the side wall of the air pipe, a piston being provided inside the vertical pipe, a limit block being provided below the piston, a wedge-shaped groove being provided on the side wall of the clamping rod, and the limit block corresponding to the wedge-shaped groove.
[0005] Preferably, the housing of the fixed clamping member is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the frame, and the outer wall of the housing of the movable clamping member is fixedly connected with a first protrusion and a second protrusion. An electric cylinder and a guide cylinder are inserted through the side wall of the frame. The output shaft end of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first protrusion. A guide rod is slidably connected through the opening of the guide cylinder. The guide rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second protrusion. The robotic arm is an existing mature product and is not the focus of this device, so it is used directly here. The clamping components can clamp the ceramic blank, and then the robotic arm can transport and stack the clamped ceramic blank. When clamping the ceramic blank, the ceramic blank is positioned between the fixed clamping member and the movable clamping member. The electric cylinder is activated. Under the action of the output shaft of the electric cylinder and with the cooperation of the guide rod and the guide cylinder, the movable clamping member moves towards the fixed clamping member to clamp the ceramic blank.
[0006] Preferably, a guide plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the housing, a vertical plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the guide plate, an electric push rod is inserted through the side wall of the vertical plate, the output shaft end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable plate, and a slider is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing. The slider is located inside the cavity of the guide plate and is slidably connected to the guide plate. Through the cooperation between the slider and the guide plate, the movement of the housing is made more stable. When the electric push rod is activated, the movable plate can move towards the housing under the action of the output shaft of the electric push rod to push several clamping rods to move so that the rod ends of the clamping rods return to their original positions and are aligned. Then, the electric push rod is controlled again to move the movable plate away from the housing until it returns to its original position, so as to avoid the movable plate affecting the movement of the clamping rods when clamping the ceramic blank.
[0007] Preferably, a lifting rod is fixedly connected to the top surface of the limiting block, and the end of the lifting rod facing away from the limiting block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the piston. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the port of the air pipe, and an air filling / draining connector is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe away from the air pipe. The air filling / draining connector is connected to an external air filling / draining pump. After the ceramic blank is clamped by the clamping rod, the external air filling / draining pump is started. Under the action of the connecting pipe and the air pipe, the piston can be forced to move downward, which in turn allows the lifting rod to drive the limiting block to move downward until the limiting block is in close contact with the wedge groove. This can limit and fix the clamping rod, preventing it from easily moving after the ceramic blank is clamped, and thus preventing the ceramic blank from falling when the ceramic blank is stacked by the robotic arm. There are several clamping rods, and these clamping rods are arranged in an array. Each clamping rod can move independently to clamp ceramic blanks of different shapes.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: good applicability. When stacking ceramic blanks, blanks of different shapes or sizes can be clamped within a certain range to improve adaptability. Thus, no manual intervention is required when changing shapes, thereby improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0017] Example: Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model provides an automatic blank stacking machine for ceramic production, including a robotic arm 1. The robotic arm 1 includes a connecting shaft 101, and a frame 102 is provided at the shaft end of the connecting shaft 101. A clamping assembly 2 is provided on the bottom surface of the frame 102. The clamping assembly 2 includes a fixed clamping member 3 and a movable clamping member 4. The fixed clamping member 3 and the movable clamping member 4 correspond to each other and have the same structure. Both the fixed clamping member 3 and the movable clamping member 4 include a housing 5. A fixing sleeve 16 is embedded and fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 5. A clamping rod 17 is slidably connected to the opening of the fixed sleeve 16. A movable plate 11 is provided on one side of the fixed sleeve 16, and the movable plate 11 corresponds to the rod end of the clamping rod 17. An air pipe 12 is fixedly connected inside the housing 5. A vertical pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the air pipe 12. A piston 19 is provided inside the vertical pipe 15. A limit block 21 is provided below the piston 19. A wedge groove 18 is provided on the side wall of the clamping rod 17, and the limit block 21 corresponds to the wedge groove 18.
[0018] The housing 5 of the fixed clamping member 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the frame 102. The outer wall of the housing 5 of the movable clamping member 4 is fixedly connected to the first protrusion 6 and the second protrusion 7. The side wall of the frame 102 is provided with an electric cylinder 103 and a guide cylinder 104. The output shaft end of the electric cylinder 103 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first protrusion 6. The opening of the guide cylinder 104 is slidably connected with a guide rod, and the guide rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second protrusion 7.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the robotic arm 1 is an existing mature product and is not the focus of this device, so it is used directly here. The clamping component 2 can clamp the ceramic blank, and then the robotic arm 1 transports and stacks the clamped ceramic blank. When clamping the ceramic blank, the ceramic blank is positioned between the fixed clamping component 3 and the movable clamping component 4. The electric cylinder 103 is activated. Under the action of the output shaft of the electric cylinder 103 and with the cooperation of the guide rod and the guide cylinder 104, the movable clamping component 4 moves towards the fixed clamping component 3 to clamp the ceramic blank.
[0020] A guide plate 8 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the housing 5. A vertical plate 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the guide plate 8. An electric push rod 10 is inserted through the side wall of the vertical plate 9. The output shaft end of the electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable plate 11.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, a slider is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 5. The slider is located inside the cavity of the guide cavity plate 8, and the slider is slidably connected to the guide cavity plate 8. Through the cooperation between the slider and the guide cavity plate 8, the movement of the housing 5 is made more stable. When the electric push rod 10 is activated, the movable plate 11 can move towards the housing 5 under the action of the output shaft of the electric push rod 10, so as to push several clamping rods 17 to move, so that the rod ends of several clamping rods 17 return to their original positions and are aligned. Then, the electric push rod 10 is controlled again to move the movable plate 11 away from the housing 5 until it returns to its original position, so as to avoid the movable plate 11 affecting the movement of the clamping rods 17 when clamping the ceramic blank.
[0022] A lifting rod 20 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the limiting block 21. The end of the lifting rod 20 facing away from the limiting block 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the piston 19. A connecting pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the port of the air pipe 12. An inflation / deflation connector 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe 13 away from the air pipe 12.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the air filling and emptying connector 14 is connected to an external air filling and emptying pump. After the ceramic blank is clamped by the clamping rod 17, the external air filling and emptying pump is started. Under the action of the connecting pipe 13 and the air pipe 12, the piston 19 can be forced to move downward, which in turn causes the lifting rod 20 to move the limiting block 21 downward until the limiting block 21 is in close contact with the wedge groove 18. This can limit and fix the clamping rod 17, preventing the clamping rod 17 from moving easily after the ceramic blank is clamped, and thus preventing the ceramic blank from falling when the mechanical arm 1 moves the ceramic blank to stack the blank.
[0024] There are several clamping rods 17, and the clamping rods 17 are arranged in an array.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, several clamping rods 17 can be moved individually to clamp ceramic blanks of different shapes.
[0026] Working principle: When in use, the ceramic blank can be clamped by the clamping component 2, and then the mechanical arm 1 transports and stacks the clamped ceramic blank. When the ceramic blank is clamped, the ceramic blank is positioned between the fixed clamping component 3 and the moving clamping component 4. The electric cylinder 103 is activated. Under the action of the output shaft of the electric cylinder 103 and the cooperation of the guide rod and the guide cylinder 104, the moving clamping component 4 moves towards the fixed clamping component 3. At this time, the limiting block 21 is not in close contact with the wedge groove 18, so several clamping rods 17 can move independently to clamp ceramic blanks of different shapes.
[0027] Next, connect the air inlet / outlet connector 14 to an external air inlet / outlet pump and start the external air inlet / outlet pump. Under the action of the connecting pipe 13 and the air pipe 12, the piston 19 can be forced to move downward, which in turn causes the lifting rod 20 to move the limiting block 21 downward until the limiting block 21 is in close contact with the wedge groove 18. This can limit and fix the clamping rod 17, preventing the clamping rod 17 from moving easily after clamping the ceramic blank, and thus preventing the ceramic blank from falling when the mechanical arm 1 moves the ceramic blank to stack the blank.
[0028] After completing one stacking operation, the electric push rod 10 needs to be activated. Under the action of the output shaft of the electric push rod 10, the movable plate 11 can move towards the housing 5 to push several clamping rods 17 to move so that the rod ends of several clamping rods 17 return to their original positions and are aligned. Then, the electric push rod 10 is controlled again to move the movable plate 11 away from the housing 5 until it returns to its original position, so as to avoid the movable plate 11 affecting the movement of the clamping rods 17 when clamping the ceramic blank again.

The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0030] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
