Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying and transferring equipment technology, specifically to a brick blank output device for a brick press. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of brick and tile production, the making of brick blanks is a crucial step. Traditional brick blank production mainly relies on brick presses to compress raw materials such as clay into brick blanks of the desired shape. Once the brick blanks are successfully pressed in the brick press, the next step is to transfer them to a conveyor belt for subsequent drying, firing, and other processes.
[0003] Currently, the main method for removing brick blanks from the brick press and transferring them to the conveyor belt is through robotic gripper transfer. Since the brick blanks have not yet been fired after pressing, their structure is relatively loose and fragile. Using grippers for transfer can easily damage and deform the brick blanks due to the contact pressure between the grippers and the brick blank surface. Furthermore, transferring brick blanks via grippers also suffers from high energy consumption. The operation of the grippers typically requires a certain amount of power to perform actions such as opening, closing, gripping, and releasing. In large-scale production, the continuous operation of numerous grippers will consume a significant amount of energy, undoubtedly increasing production costs and contradicting the current trend of energy conservation and emission reduction. Therefore, we propose a brick blank output device for brick presses to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0009] The pushing mechanism is used to transfer brick blanks one by one from the mounting platform onto the conveyor belt.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a buffer assembly, disposed on the mounting platform, for reducing the impact on the brick blank.
[0011] Furthermore, the buffer assembly includes a fixed plate fixed on the mounting platform, with sliding rods slidably inserted at intervals on both sides of the surface of the fixed plate, one end of the sliding rod being connected to a baffle plate, a spring connecting the fixed plate and the baffle plate, the spring being sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod, a connecting plate being fixed at the end of the sliding rod away from the baffle plate, and a damping rod being provided between the baffle plate and the connecting plate in the middle.
[0012] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a support plate fixed to one side of the mounting platform, a hydraulic cylinder mounted on one side of the support plate, a movable plate slidably disposed on the platform surface of the mounting platform, a mounting seat disposed above the side of the movable plate away from the support plate, a zigzag plate rotatably connected inside the mounting seat, a U-shaped plate connected to the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder, one end of the zigzag plate being rotatably connected to the U-shaped plate via a rotating shaft, and a pushing plate fixedly disposed at the end of the zigzag plate away from the U-shaped plate.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] This application provides a brick blank output device for a brick press, mainly to solve the problems of the prior art, and provides the following technical solution, which will be combined with the following... Figures 1-3 Please provide a detailed explanation:
[0024] A brick blank output device for a brick press includes:
[0025] Conveyor belt 1, with a guide trough 2 fixed on one side of the conveyor belt 1, the height of the guide trough 2 gradually increasing from one side to the other;
[0026] Mounting platform 3 is set on the side of the conveyor belt 1. The platform surface of the mounting platform 3 is at the same level as the belt surface of the conveyor belt 1. One side of the mounting platform 3 is connected to the lower side of the guide chute 2.
[0027] A baffle plate 4 is provided on the side of the mounting platform 3 near the guide chute 2 to confine the brick blank within a specified area of the mounting platform 3.
[0028] The pushing mechanism 5 is used to transfer brick blanks one by one from the mounting platform 3 onto the conveyor belt 1.
[0029] As shown in Figure-x, in some embodiments, a conveyor belt 1 is provided with a guide trough 2 on one side of the conveyor belt 1, and the height of the guide trough 2 gradually increases from one side to the other side.
[0030] Mounting platform 3 is set on the side of the conveyor belt 1. The platform surface of the mounting platform 3 is at the same level as the belt surface of the conveyor belt 1. One side of the mounting platform 3 is connected to the lower side of the guide chute 2.
[0031] A baffle plate 4 is provided on the side of the mounting platform 3 near the guide chute 2 to confine the brick blank within a specified area of the mounting platform 3.
[0032] The pushing mechanism 5 is used to transfer brick blanks one by one from the mounting platform 3 to the conveyor belt 1. The pushing mechanism 5 includes a support plate 501 fixed to one side of the mounting platform 3. A hydraulic cylinder 502 is installed on one side of the support plate 501. A movable plate 503 is slidably arranged on the platform surface of the mounting platform 3. A mounting seat 504 is arranged above the side of the movable plate 503 away from the support plate 501. A zigzag plate 505 is rotatably connected inside the mounting seat 504. A U-shaped plate 506 is connected to the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 502. One end of the zigzag plate 505 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped plate 506 through a rotating shaft. A pushing plate 507 is fixedly arranged at the end of the zigzag plate 505 away from the U-shaped plate.
[0033] It also includes a buffer assembly 6, which is disposed on the mounting platform 3 to reduce the impact on the brick blank.
[0034] Workflow Description:
[0035] The brick blanks, pressed by the brick press, slide down the guide chute 2 to the mounting platform 3, where they are initially transferred using gravitational potential energy. The baffle plate 4 restricts the position of the brick blanks, ensuring they remain within the designated area on the mounting platform 3. When the brick blanks slide onto the mounting platform 3, the impact force is absorbed by the buffer assembly 6. Next, the hydraulic cylinder 502 is activated, pushing the U-shaped plate 506 forward, which in turn drives the zigzag plate 505 to rotate around the mounting base 504, causing the pusher plate 507 to extend horizontally. After the pusher plate 507 contacts the brick blank, the hydraulic cylinder 502 continues to advance, smoothly pushing the brick blank onto the conveyor belt 1, completing the transfer. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder 502 retracts, the zigzag plate 505 resets, and the pusher plate 507 retracts, awaiting the transfer and conveying of the next brick blank.
[0036] This brick press uses a brick blank output device that abandons the traditional robotic arm clamping and transfer method. Instead, it adopts a transfer mode that combines a guide trough 2, a mounting platform 3, and a pushing mechanism 5. By utilizing the brick blank's own gravitational potential energy, it reduces the external force during the transfer process, greatly reducing the risk of damage and deformation to the brick blank. The inclined design of the guide trough 2 cleverly utilizes the gravitational potential energy of the brick blank to achieve part of the transfer process. Compared with traditional clamps, it significantly reduces energy consumption and conforms to the development trend of energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0037] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the buffer assembly 6 includes a fixed plate 601 fixed on the mounting platform 3. Slide rods 602 are slidably inserted on both sides of the surface of the fixed plate 601. One end of the slide rod 602 is connected to the baffle plate 4. A spring 603 is connected between the fixed plate 601 and the baffle plate 4. The spring 603 is sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 602. A connecting plate 604 is fixed at the end of the slide rod 602 away from the baffle plate 4. A damping rod 605 is provided between the baffle plate 4 and the connecting plate 604. More specifically, when the brick blank falls on the baffle plate 4 and pressure is applied, the baffle plate 4 pushes the spring 603 to compress through the slide rod 602. During the compression process, the spring 603 converts the kinetic energy of the brick blank into elastic potential energy and stores it. As the compression of spring 603 gradually increases, the elastic force it generates also gradually increases. The direction of the elastic force is opposite to the falling direction of the brick blank, thus buffering the brick blank, slowing down the falling speed of the brick blank, and reducing the impact force on the brick blank. Meanwhile, the damping rod 605 provides damping force by consuming the elastic potential energy of spring 603 and converting it into heat energy to dissipate, so that the brick blank can stop more smoothly on the mounting platform 3 and avoid secondary damage caused by vibration.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a guide plate 508 is fixedly provided at a midpoint on the mounting platform 3. The movable plate 503 is slidably connected to the inner sidewall of the guide plate 508. More specifically, the guide plate 508 can ensure that the movable plate 503 can be stably guided throughout its entire stroke range when transferring the brick blank. Due to the limiting effect of the guide plate 508, the movable plate 503 always stays on a fixed track during the movement and will not tilt or deviate. This helps to accurately transfer the brick blank from one position to another on the mounting platform 3, ensuring the stability of the brick blank's posture during the transfer process and reducing the risk of brick blank damage caused by shaking or collision.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the slope of the guide trough 2 is in the range of 10-15 degrees. More specifically, a slope of 10-15 degrees helps maintain the stability of the brick blank during its descent. Because the slope is relatively moderate, the brick blank will not tip over or overturn due to excessive tilting when it slides down. At the same time, this slope range also makes the contact between the brick blank and the guide trough 2 relatively stable.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the baffle plate 4 is L-shaped. More specifically, when the pushing mechanism 5 pushes the brick blank out of the press and places it on the conveyor belt 1, the brick blank will first come into contact with one side of the baffle plate 4. Due to the presence of the baffle plate 4, the brick blank cannot continue to move forward and is thus restricted to a specific area of the conveyor belt 1.
[0041] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
