Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flange automated loading and unloading technology, specifically relating to an automated flange loading and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] Flanges are key components in the fields of mechanical, piping, and equipment connections and sealing. Through standardized structures, they enable reliable connections and media isolation for equipment such as pipes, valves, pumps, and containers. Flange manufacturing requires loading and unloading devices to transfer raw materials onto and off the processing equipment.

[0003] The existing loading and unloading device includes a moving mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes multiple suction cups arranged in a rectangular array. The lifting mechanism lowers the suction cups onto the flange, where they adhere to the flange. The lifting mechanism then resets, raising the flange. The moving mechanism moves the flange above the processing equipment, and the lifting mechanism activates, allowing the flange on the suction cups to fall onto the processing equipment, thus achieving the loading and unloading function. However, the existing clamping mechanism lacks a limiting mechanism. If an accident occurs with the suction cups, the suction force cannot hold the flange, causing it to fall. The falling flange may injure the surrounding operating table or damage the loading and unloading device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated flange loading and unloading device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated flange loading and unloading device, comprising: a movable gantry frame, wherein a lifting area is provided on the gantry frame, and a lifting mechanism, a suction mechanism, a limiting mechanism, and a flange are sequentially installed in the lifting area from top to bottom; the limiting mechanism has a limiting element and an adjusting mechanism for rotating and adjusting the position of the limiting element; the adjusting mechanism is used to bring the limiting element close to or away from the edge of the flange; the suction mechanism includes a plurality of suction cups for suctioning the flange, each suction cup being installed at the bottom end of a telescopic rod.

[0006] Preferably, the limiting member includes a caliper, and the caliper has a groove for accommodating the flange on the side near the flange.

[0007] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a connecting rod connected to the caliper, with a rotating shaft for rotational positioning mounted on one end of the connecting rod opposite to the caliper, and an electric actuator for rotational drive mounted on the side wall of the connecting rod.

[0008] Preferably, the suction cup and lifting mechanism are further equipped with a limiting component that restricts the flange in the slot.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting component includes a retractable mounting post and a telescopic rod arranged sequentially from top to bottom, and a hydraulic cylinder is installed between the mounting post and the telescopic rod.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a mounting frame installed on the top of multiple mounting columns. Four motors are mounted in a rectangular array on the gantry frame. Each motor has a spool installed at its output end, and each spool has a pull rope wound up at the top corner of the mounting frame.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] (1) This utility model has an added adjustment mechanism and a limiting component. The limiting component can be locked onto the flange by the adjustment mechanism, thereby limiting the flange and preventing the flange from falling off after the suction cup fails.

[0013] (2) By adding mounting posts, telescopic rods and hydraulic cylinders, the flange can be directly applied to the calipers, and the flange can be directly supported by the calipers, thereby improving the service life of the suction cup. Attached Figure Description

[0018] 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.

[0019] refer to Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides an automated flange loading and unloading device, comprising: a movable gantry frame 1, a lifting area on the gantry frame 1, and a lifting mechanism, an adsorption mechanism, a limiting mechanism and a flange 2 installed sequentially from top to bottom in the lifting area. The limiting mechanism has a limiting element and an adjustment mechanism for rotating and adjusting the position of the limiting element. The adjustment mechanism is used to bring the limiting element close to or away from the edge of the flange 2.

[0020] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the limiting component includes a caliper 6, and the caliper 6 has a groove 15 for accommodating the flange 2 on the side near the flange 2.

[0021] As described above, using the gantry frame 1, adsorption mechanism, limiting mechanism, and flange 2 provided by this utility model, the adsorption mechanism is moved above the flange 2 via the movable gantry frame 1. At this time, the lifting mechanism is activated, causing the adsorption mechanism to fall onto the flange 2. When the adsorption mechanism adsorbs the flange 2, the lifting mechanism is activated, causing the flange 2 to rise. When the flange 2 rises to the height of the limiting component, the lifting mechanism stops. At this time, the adjusting mechanism is activated, moving the limiting component from the upper outside of the flange 2 inward toward the flange 2, so that the edge of the flange 2 is in the slot 15 of the clamp 6. At this time, the lifting mechanism is activated, causing the flange 2 to rise to its highest point. During this process, the limiting component limits the flange 2 to prevent the flange 2 from falling after the suction cup 3 fails. The flange 2 is moved above the processing equipment via the gantry frame 1. The lifting mechanism is activated, causing the flange 2 to fall to a position equal to the height of the limiting component at a distance from the processing equipment. The adjusting mechanism is activated, causing the limiting component to move away from the equipment. Then, the lifting mechanism is activated, causing the flange to fall onto the processing equipment, thus realizing automatic loading and unloading of the equipment.

[0022] Furthermore, in order to attach flange 2 to the lifting mechanism, refer to Figure 1-2 As shown, the adsorption mechanism includes multiple suction cups 3 capable of adsorbing the flange 2, with each suction cup 3 mounted at the bottom of the telescopic rod 4. The multiple suction cups 3 facilitate the stable adsorption of the flange 2 onto the bottom of the lifting mechanism, preventing the flange 2 from shaking during lifting operations.

[0023] Furthermore, in order to adjust the height of flange 2, refer to... Figure 1-2 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a mounting frame 13 mounted on the top of multiple mounting columns 5. Four motors 10 are mounted in a rectangular array on the gantry frame 1. Each motor 10 has a pulley 11 mounted on its output end, and each pulley 11 has a pull rope 12 connected to the top corner of the mounting frame 13 wound on it. The four motors 10 are synchronous motors. When the motors 10 start, the pulleys 11 wind up the pull ropes 12, thereby driving the mounting frame 13 to rise, which in turn drives the flange 2 adsorbed by the suction cup 3 to rise, facilitating the loading and unloading of the flange 2.

[0024] In this utility model, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment mechanism of this embodiment includes a connecting rod 7 connected to the caliper 6. A rotating shaft 8 for rotational positioning is installed at the end of the connecting rod 7 away from the caliper 6. An electric actuator 9 for rotational drive is installed on the side wall of the connecting rod 7.

[0025] As described above, in the adjustment mechanism provided by this utility model, the rotating shaft 8 and electric push rod 9 in the adjustment mechanism are mounted on the mounting column 5 in the figure. The rotating shaft 8 and electric push rod 9 can also be mounted on the mounting bracket 13. When the electric push rod 9 is started, it drives the connecting rod 7 to rotate around the rotating shaft 8 and drive the caliper 6 to move from the outside of the flange 2 inward, so that the edge of the flange 2 is in the groove 15 on the caliper 6, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the caliper 6.

[0026] In this utility model, combined with Figure 1-2 As shown, the suction cup 3 and lifting mechanism in this embodiment are also equipped with a limiting component that restricts the flange 2 in the slot 15.

[0027] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the limiting assembly includes a retractable mounting post 5 and a telescopic rod 4, which are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. A hydraulic cylinder 14 is installed between the mounting post 5 and the telescopic rod 4.

[0028] As described above, using the limiting component provided by this utility model, the suction cup 3 is connected to the mounting frame 13 via the mounting post 5 and the telescopic rod 4. The telescopic rod 4 can be extended and retracted on the mounting post 5 via the hydraulic cylinder 14. When the clamp 6 is clamped on the flange 2, the hydraulic cylinder 14 is activated, causing the telescopic rod 4 to extend downward on the mounting post 5, thereby causing the flange 2 to descend in the slot 15, and then allowing the flange 2 to abut against the bottom of the slot 15. This achieves support for the flange 2 through the clamp 6, avoiding prolonged stress on the suction cup 3 and improving the service life of the suction cup 3.
