Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum alloy ingot production technology, and in particular to an automatic stacking equipment for aluminum alloy ingot production. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloy ingots occupy an important position in the metallurgical industry. As the basic raw material for aluminum processing, their production process has a decisive impact on the efficiency and quality of the entire industrial chain. Especially in key links such as casting, transportation, and subsequent smelting, existing automated ingot stacking equipment has gradually revealed a series of obvious limitations and technical problems when handling aluminum alloy ingots of different specifications and with high precision requirements.

[0003] Aluminum alloy ingots are metal blocks with a specific shape and weight formed by pouring molten aluminum alloy into a mold and then cooling and solidifying it. They are widely used in construction, transportation, electronics, and many other fields. During the production process, the cast aluminum alloy ingots undergo multiple steps, including cooling, handling, stacking, and packaging. Among these, the automated stacking of aluminum alloy ingots is a crucial step connecting casting and packaging, directly impacting the automation level, operational efficiency, and safety of the entire production line during transportation. Utility model patent CN204184944U discloses an automatic stacking equipment for aluminum alloy ingot production, relating to the field of stacking equipment. It includes a frame, a rotating arm, a lifting mechanism, a connecting plate, a rotating mechanism, and a robotic arm. The frame houses a stepper motor. One end of the rotating arm is mounted on the stepper motor spindle, and the other end is connected to the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism consists of a first cylinder and two support rods. The guide rod of the first cylinder and the support rods pass through the rotating arm and connect to the connecting plate below. The rotating mechanism is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate via screw holes at the bottom of the connecting plate. The rotating mechanism consists of a central column, a sleeve, and a flat plate. The sleeve has two rings of bosses, and rotating cylinders are connected to the bosses. The robotic arm is located at both ends of the bottom of the flat plate. The upper end of the robotic arm is connected to a second cylinder on the flat plate, allowing the aluminum alloy ingots to be stacked in an alternating manner, increasing stability and facilitating subsequent bundling and transportation.

[0004] However, in practical applications, this type of equipment still has many shortcomings. Specifically, existing stacking equipment faces problems such as insufficient precision in the stacking operation of aluminum alloy ingots, unstable positioning, and a single stacking method. It is also inadequate in achieving orderly stacking and packaging, lacking an efficient gripping and placement logic control mechanism. This results in uneven distribution of aluminum alloy ingots in the bin, increasing the frequency of manual intervention, reducing overall packaging efficiency, and increasing labor intensity. Therefore, to address the many shortcomings of existing technology, we urgently need an innovative automatic stacking equipment for aluminum alloy ingot production to solve these problems.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 An automatic stacking device for aluminum alloy ingot production includes a base 1, a frame 2 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base 1, and a side frame 8 fixedly connected to the other side of the top of the base 1; conveyor rollers 4 are rotatably connected to both sides of the inner side of the frame 2, and the two conveyor rollers 4 are connected by a conveyor belt 3; a drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the frame 2 by bolts, and one end of one of the two conveyor rollers 4 passes through the side wall of the frame 2 and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 5; a collection box 9 is slidably connected to the inner side of the side frame 8, and a discharge plate 6 fixedly connected to one side of the frame 2 is provided on the top of the collection box 9, and a discharge groove 7 is opened on the top of the discharge plate 6; a limiting frame 17 is provided on the outer side of the side frame 8, and a fixing frame 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the side frame 8, and a cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing frame 12 by bolts, wherein the output shaft of the cylinder 13 passes through one side of the fixing frame 12 and is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting frame 17.

[0023] First, the cast and cooled aluminum alloy ingots are placed on the conveyor belt 3. The drive motor 5 is started, and the output shaft of the drive motor 5 drives one of the conveyor rollers 4 to rotate. Through the transmission action between the two conveyor rollers 4, the conveyor belt 3 wrapped around it rotates synchronously, thereby realizing the continuous conveying of the aluminum alloy ingots. As the conveyor belt 3 runs, the aluminum alloy ingots are gradually conveyed to the top of the discharge plate 6 and slide down along the discharge chute 7 opened on the top of the discharge plate 6 into the collection box 9. At this time, the collection box 9 has been pre-slidably installed in the side frame 8 and fixed by the limiting structure. Specifically, after the collection box 9 is installed into the side frame 8, the cylinder 13, which is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 12, is activated. The output shaft of the cylinder 13 pushes the limiting frame 17 to move along the direction of the fixed frame 12, so that the limiting frame 17 is fitted onto the outside of the collection box 9, thereby achieving the positioning and limiting of the collection box 9 and preventing it from shifting or shaking during the receiving of aluminum alloy ingots. When a collection box 9 has completed the stacking task and is full of aluminum alloy ingots, the operator can remove it from the side frame 8 and replace it with a new empty collection box 9, repeating the above process to achieve efficient stacking and collection of multiple batches of aluminum alloy ingots.

[0024] Furthermore, one end of each of the two conveyor rollers 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 2 via a rotating shaft, and the other end of each of the two conveyor rollers 4 passes through the side wall of the frame 2 via a bearing sleeve. The discharge plate 6 is connected to the outlet of the conveyor belt 3. When the drive motor 5 drives the conveyor belt 3 to run, it ensures that the conveyor rollers 4 can rotate stably and with low friction, thereby improving the stability of equipment operation and extending its service life.

[0025] Furthermore, a slider 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection box 9, and the slider 10 is slidably connected to the inner bottom of the side frame 8 through the slide groove 11. With the slider 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection box 9 and the slider 10 slidably connected to the inner bottom of the side frame 8 through the slide groove 11, a smooth and unobstructed operation is achieved when the collection box 9 is slid into or out of the side frame 8, which facilitates quick replacement of the collection box 9, reduces downtime, and improves work efficiency.

[0026] Furthermore, a sliding block 14 is provided on the top side of the side frame 8, and the sliding block 14 is slidably connected to the top of the side frame 8 through a sliding groove 15. One side of the sliding block 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the collection box 9 through several connecting rods 16. The arrangement of the sliding block 14 on the top side of the side frame 8, and the sliding block 14 being slidably connected to the top of the side frame 8 through a sliding groove 15, and the fixedly connected to one side of the collection box 9 through several connecting rods 16, allows the position of the collection box 9 to be adjusted by moving the sliding block 14 during operation, achieving precise control of the position of the collection box 9 and further ensuring that the aluminum alloy ingots fall accurately into the collection box 9.

[0027] Furthermore, a support plate 20 is elastically connected to the inner side of the collection box 9, and the bottom of the support plate 20 is elastically connected to the bottom of the inner side of the collection box 9 through several compression springs 18. With the support plate 20 elastically connected to the inner side of the collection box 9 and the bottom of the support plate 20 being elastically connected to the bottom of the inner side of the collection box 9 through several compression springs 18, the support plate 20 can gradually move downward as the weight increases during the stacking of aluminum alloy ingots, and provide appropriate buffering force through the compression springs 18, thereby reducing the impact force and protecting the surface integrity of the aluminum alloy ingots.

[0028] Furthermore, the bottom of the support plate 20 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the collection box 9 through several telescopic rods 21. The outer side of the collection box 9 is connected to the door 19 by a hinge. After the aluminum alloy ingots are stacked, the door 19 can be opened to take out the finished product. The telescopic rods 21 can provide guidance when the support plate 20 moves up and down to avoid deviation. This achieves the effect of facilitating the picking and putting of products while ensuring the stability and neatness of the stacking process.

[0029] In summary:

[0030] First, the cast and cooled aluminum alloy ingots are placed on conveyor belt 3. The drive motor 5 is started, and the output shaft of the drive motor 5 drives one of the conveyor rollers 4 to rotate. The two conveyor rollers 4 rotate synchronously through transmission, thus realizing the continuous conveying of the aluminum alloy ingots. As the conveyor belt 3 runs, the aluminum alloy ingots are gradually conveyed to the top of the discharge plate 6 and slide down along the discharge chute 7 opened on the top of the discharge plate 6 into the collection box 9. At this time, the collection box 9 has been pre-installed by sliding the slider 10 at the bottom along the slide groove 11 at the bottom of the inner side of the side frame 8. Then, it is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 12. The cylinder 13, with its output shaft, pushes the limiting frame 17 to move along the direction of the fixed frame 12, ultimately causing the limiting frame 17 to be fitted onto the outside of the collection box 9, thereby achieving positioning and limiting of the collection box 9 and preventing it from shifting or shaking during the receiving of aluminum alloy ingots. When a collection box 9 is full, the operator can use the slider 10 to pull it out of the side frame 8 and replace it with a new empty collection box 9, repeating the above process to achieve efficient stacking and collection of multiple batches of aluminum alloy ingots. In this process, to further improve the stability and adaptability of the equipment, one end of each of the two conveying rollers 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 2 through a rotating shaft, while the other end is connected to the inner wall of the frame 2 through a rotating shaft. The bearing sleeve penetrates the side wall of the frame 2, effectively reducing frictional resistance during rotation and improving the stability and service life of the equipment. Simultaneously, the discharge plate 6 connects to the outlet of the conveyor belt 3, ensuring smooth material transfer and preventing jamming. Furthermore, a sliding block 14 is provided on one side of the top of the side frame 8. The sliding block 14 is slidably connected to the top of the side frame 8 via a sliding groove 15, and one side of the sliding block 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the collection box 9 via several connecting rods 16. This structure helps adjust the position of the collection box 9, ensuring precise alignment with the discharge chute 7 and further improving stacking accuracy. To reduce the amount of aluminum alloy ingots falling into the collection box 9... To mitigate the impact force, the collection box 9 is equipped with a support plate 20. The bottom of the support plate 20 is elastically connected to the inner bottom of the collection box 9 via multiple compression springs 18, allowing the support plate 20 to gradually move downwards as the weight increases, thus providing a buffer and protecting the surface of the aluminum alloy ingot from damage. At the same time, the bottom of the support plate 20 is also equipped with multiple telescopic rods 21, which provide guiding support during the up-and-down movement of the support plate 20, preventing displacement and ensuring neat stacking. Finally, a door 19 is hinged to the outside of the collection box 9, facilitating the quick removal of the aluminum alloy ingots after stacking. The entire structure is rationally laid out, easy to operate, and highly automated.First, the conveying system, consisting of base 1, frame 2, conveyor roller 4, conveyor belt 3, and drive motor 5, enables continuous and stable conveying of aluminum alloy ingots of different specifications, improving the reliability and consistency of the overall operation and solving the problem of inaccurate positioning in traditional equipment. Second, the design of the discharge plate 6 and discharge chute 7 guides the aluminum alloy ingots into the collection box 9 along a predetermined path, avoiding misalignment or tipping caused by free fall, and improving the orderliness and neatness of stacking. Third, the collection box 9 achieves rapid sliding installation through the cooperation of slider 10 and slide chute 11, greatly improving replacement efficiency and reducing downtime. At the same time, the linkage structure of slider 14, slide chute 15, and connecting rod 16 enables fine adjustment of the position of collection box 9, further ensuring that the aluminum alloy ingots fall accurately into the box. The limiting frame 17 and cylinder 13, and fixed... The limiting mechanism formed by frame 12 can reliably clamp the collection box 9 during the collection process, preventing it from shifting or shaking and ensuring stacking stability. In addition, the combined design of support plate 20, compression spring 18, and telescopic rod 21 effectively absorbs the impact force during the stacking of aluminum alloy ingots, avoiding damage to the product surface and improving product quality. The door 19 facilitates the removal and subsequent handling of finished products, enhancing the ease of operation of the equipment. In summary, this utility model fully considers the stability of equipment operation, the accuracy of stacking, the convenience of operation, and the safety of the product in its structural design. It not only significantly improves the stacking efficiency and quality of aluminum alloy ingots but also effectively reduces the intensity of manual labor and the overall cost of use, meeting the needs of modern mass production, high precision, and high stability. It has good promotional value and application prospects.
