Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automated production equipment for wall panel substrates, specifically a special suspended flipping clamp for sintered composite wall panel substrates. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of sintered composite wall panel bricks, automated clamping and handling equipment has become a key link in improving production efficiency and ensuring product consistency. Existing technologies widely employ robotic arms in conjunction with fixtures to grip wall panel brick substrates, enabling continuous and efficient stacking and transfer operations. Fixtures typically include clamping structures, drive actuators, and limiting devices, capable of performing clamping, moving, and flipping actions under the control of the robotic arm.

[0003] However, existing clamping methods commonly present the following technical problems: When clamping wall panel tile substrates, clamps often employ a symmetrical double-sided clamping method to tighten both sides of the substrate. These clamps fail to effectively adjust the central structure of the wall panel tile during clamping, resulting in the through-holes of the substrate remaining vertically downwards after clamping. This condition easily causes problems during the subsequent drying process, especially when the lower end of the through-holes is blocked by the clamp or stacking structure, making it difficult for moisture to escape smoothly. This leads to water accumulation or moisture retention within the holes, which can easily cause the tiles to crack, affecting the structural strength and appearance quality of the product.

[0004] To address these issues, this invention provides a special suspended flipping clamp for sintered composite wall panel substrates. Utility Model Content

[0026] Beneficial effects

[0027] This utility model provides a special suspended flipping clamp for sintered composite wall panel substrates. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0028] (1) The special suspended flipping clamp for sintered composite wall panel substrates has an adjustable spacing joint mechanism. The distance between the guide rails can be flexibly adjusted according to the wall panel brick substrates of different specifications, adapting to the clamping of substrates of various sizes, improving the versatility and adaptability of the clamp. The clamping mechanism uses multiple sets of clamping plate connectors and flexible joint belts to work together. The blank grabbing cylinder drives multiple sets of fixed clamping plates to clamp together through the connecting rod, which can complete the stable clamping and positioning of multiple substrates at one time, improving the work efficiency.

[0029] (2) The special suspended flipping fixture for the sintered composite wall panel substrate can flip the substrate by 90° during the handling process by setting a flipping mechanism, so that the central through hole of the wall panel brick changes from vertical to horizontal, effectively avoiding moisture retention caused by the sealing of the bottom of the through hole, significantly reducing the occurrence of cracking during the drying process. The support and guide mechanism cooperates with the roller and the I-beam to ensure the guidance and support of the guide rail during the telescopic movement, reduce the stress on the jointing mechanism, reduce mechanical fatigue and damage risk, and improve the stability and service life of the fixture system.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] 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.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] Please see Figure 1-2 A special suspended flipping clamp for sintered composite wall panel substrate, comprising:

[0038] Mounting plate 1, with a clamping connection plate 2 fixed to the top wall of mounting plate 1 for connection with an external robot arm, and a mounting frame 3 fixed to the bottom wall of mounting plate 1;

[0039] There are two guide rails 8. The two guide rails 8 are installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 3 through a joint mechanism. A support and guide mechanism 9 is installed between the guide rails 8 and the mounting frame 3. Limiting rods 10 are symmetrically installed on the top walls of the two guide rails 8.

[0040] The clamping plate connector 12 is provided in four sets. The middle set of clamping plate connectors 12 is fixed on the bottom wall of the corresponding guide rail 8. The other three sets of clamping plate connectors 12 are slidably installed on the bottom wall of the corresponding guide rail 8 via sliders 11. The bottom end of each clamping plate connector 12 is rotatably installed with a fixed clamping plate 13. A clamping mechanism 14 is installed between the two outermost clamping plate connectors 12.

[0041] The flipping mechanism 15 is installed at both ends of the guide rail 8 and is used to drive the fixed clamping plate 13 to flip.

[0042] In this embodiment, the clamping connection plate 2 facilitates connection between the device and an external robot, allowing the external robot to control the device. The slit mechanism adjusts the distance between the two guide rails 8, enabling the fixed clamping plate 13 to easily flip the substrate after clamping it. The support and guiding mechanism 9 guides the movement of the guide rails 8. The clamping mechanism 14 controls the operation of multiple fixed clamping plates 13, clamping and fixing multiple substrates at once. The flipping mechanism 15 flips the clamped substrate by 90° to achieve different stacking methods. The limiting rod 10 is used to adjust the slit mechanism to prevent the two guide rails 8 from getting too close after closing.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] Please see Figure 2-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1:

[0045] The seam separating mechanism is provided in four sets, with two sets of seam separating mechanisms located outside the mounting frame 3 and the other two sets of seam separating mechanisms located inside the mounting frame 3.

[0046] The joint separating mechanism includes a long joint separating cylinder 4 and a short joint separating cylinder 5. The long joint separating cylinder 4 is fixed on the side wall of the mounting frame 3. The long joint separating cylinder 4 located on the outside of the mounting frame 3 and the long joint separating cylinder 4 located on the inside of the mounting frame 3 are staggered. The movable ends of the long joint separating cylinder 4 and the short joint separating cylinder 5 are fixedly connected through the cylinder connecting sleeve 6. The end of the short joint separating cylinder 5 away from the cylinder connecting sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the corresponding guide rail 8 through the L-shaped frame 7.

[0047] The support and guide mechanism 9 is provided in two sets. The support and guide mechanism 9 includes an I-beam 91 and two L-shaped seats 92. The I-beam 91 is fixed to the bottom wall of the mounting frame 3.

[0048] The L-shaped seat 92 is fixed on the top wall of the corresponding guide rail 8, and several rollers 93 are rotatably installed on the side wall of the L-shaped seat 92.

[0049] Roller 93 is rolled on one side of the corresponding I-beam 91.

[0050] In this embodiment, the slit mechanism can adjust the distance between the two guide rails 8, allowing the fixed clamping plate 13 to easily flip the substrate after clamping it. Simultaneously, the supporting guide mechanism 9 provides guidance and support for the movement of the guide rails 8. When adjusting the distance between the two guide rails 8, the position of the two guide rails 8 can be adjusted by controlling the extension and retraction of the long slit cylinder 4 and the short slit cylinder 5. During the movement of the guide rails 8, they can move smoothly to both sides under the action of the supporting guide mechanism 9, preventing excessive stress on the connection points of the long slit cylinder 4 and the short slit cylinder 5 over a long period, which could damage them. The long slit cylinder 4 enables long-distance expansion and contraction of the clamp, while the short slit cylinder 5 enables short-distance retraction of the clamp.

[0051] The clamping mechanism 14 includes a blank-gripping cylinder 141, which is fixed on the inner wall of the outermost clamping plate connector 12. A connecting rod 142 is fixed to the movable end of the blank-gripping cylinder 141.

[0052] The other end of the connecting rod 142 slides through the two middle clamping plate connectors 12 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the other side clamping plate connector 12;

[0053] A flexible joint tape 143 is fixed between two adjacent clamping plate connectors 12.

[0054] The flipping mechanism 15 includes a mounting plate 151, which is fixed to the end of the guide rail 8. A flipping cylinder 152 is rotatably mounted on the top of the outer wall of the mounting plate 151.

[0055] A connecting rod 153 is rotatably mounted on the movable end of the bottom of the tilting cylinder 152;

[0056] A square key bar 154 is fixed to the other end of the first connecting rod 153;

[0057] A second connecting rod 155 is slidably mounted on the outside of the square key bar 154;

[0058] A flip-connecting screw 156 is rotatably installed between the second connecting rod 155 and the side wall of the fixed clamping plate 13. The second connecting rod 155 is rotatably connected to the corresponding clamping plate connector 12. The square key bar 154 is installed on the clamping plate connector 12 through a perforated bearing connecting sleeve. The purpose of setting the perforated bearing connecting sleeve is to allow the clamping plate connector 12 to move smoothly, while the square key bar 154 is not obstructed from rotating by the clamping plate connector 12.

[0059] Both ends of the flip-connecting screw 156 are fitted with fish-eye connectors 157. One side of the fish-eye connector 157 is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting rod 155, and the other side of the fish-eye connector 157 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixed clamp 13. A nut is rotatably installed at the end of the fish-eye connector 157 that is connected to the flip-connecting screw 156, and the nut is screwed to the flip-connecting screw 156.

[0060] The fixed clamp 13 includes a clamp body 131, and the side walls of the clamp body 131 are respectively fixed with a flipping limit post 132 and a return limit post 133.

[0061] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 14 can control the operation of multiple fixed clamping plates 13 to clamp and fix multiple substrates at one time, and the flipping mechanism 15 can flip the clamped substrates by 90° to achieve different stacking methods.

[0062] When the clamping mechanism 14 is working, the fixed clamping plate 13 moves to the substrate clamping position under the action of the external robot. During the retraction of the blank grabbing cylinder 141, it works with the connecting rod 142 to pull the clamping plate connecting parts 12 on both sides toward the center, thereby clamping the substrate. The flexible split strip 143 can adjust the position distance between the clamping plate connecting parts 12 after the blank grabbing cylinder extends 141.

[0063] When the flipping mechanism 15 is working, the flipping cylinder 152 extends. The flipping cylinder 152 drives the square key bar 154 to deflect through the first connecting rod 153. During the deflection of the square key bar 154, the second connecting rod 155 deflects. The second connecting rod 155 drives the fixed clamping plate 13 to flip through the connecting screw 156 and the fisheye joint 157. The flipping limit stake 132 set on the fixed clamping plate 13 can ensure that the fixed clamping plate 13 is flipped into place when it is flipped to 90° during the flipping limit action. The return limit stake 133 sets the return limit action of the fixed clamping plate 13 to ensure that the fixed clamping plate 13 is in a horizontal state when gripping.

[0064] Working principle:

[0065] Step 1: After the sintered composite wall panel substrate is automatically grouped and transported to the gripping station, the fixing clamp 13 moves down to the gripping point.

[0066] Step 2: The blank-gripping cylinder 141 retracts, and the blank-gripping cylinder 141 drives the fixed clamping plate 13 to tighten towards the middle position through the connecting rod 142, thereby clamping the substrate.

[0067] Step 3: By setting the program control, the fixture moves above the blank placement point, and the long slit cylinder 4 and the short slit cylinder 5 extend.

[0068] Step 4: The clamp is deployed into position, the tilting cylinder 152 extends, and the tilting cylinder 152 drives the square key bar 154 to deflect via the first connecting rod 153. During the deflection of the square key bar 154, the second connecting rod 155 is deflected. The second connecting rod 155 drives the fixed clamping plate 13 to rotate 90° via the connecting screw 156 and the fisheye connector 157. The tilting position can be adjusted by the connecting screw 156 (a nut is installed between the fisheye connector 157 and the tilting connecting screw 156, and the overall length of the connecting screw 156 and the fisheye connector 157 can be adjusted by rotating the nut), and is limited by the tilting limit post 132.

[0069] Step 5: The clamp flips to the correct position, the long joint cylinder 4 and the short joint cylinder 5 retract to the correct position, the clamp releases the blank through program control, the clamping cylinder 141 releases pressure, and the wall panel brick substrate falls off from the middle of the clamp by its own weight.

[0070] Step 6: After a 1.5-second waiting period, the clamp rises to the blank placement point, and the long slit cylinder 4 and the short slit cylinder 5 are fully deployed.

[0071] Step 7: The flipping cylinder 152 retracts, allowing the fixed clamping plate 13 to return to its original position.

[0072] Step 8: The short cylinder 5 retracts, and the clamp moves to the gripping point to wait for the blank to be gripped.

[0073] Step 9: Repeat steps 1 to 8 to achieve automatic reciprocating gripping, flipping and stacking of wall panel brick substrate.
