For example, the intelligent aluminum bar storage and logistics system for an aluminum extrusion production line (patent publication number CN114348675B) suffers from the aforementioned problems in aluminum bar transportation and storage. Therefore, a three-dimensional storage and transportation device for sawn aluminum bars is proposed. This device eliminates the need for manual hoisting of finished aluminum bars, achieving high automation and intelligence. It constructs a three-dimensional motion storage and retrieval system, enabling zoned storage of aluminum bars of different specifications, fully utilizing storage space. After storage, finished aluminum bars can be automatically retrieved according to actual outbound needs, further enhancing scenario adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] This utility model provides a three-dimensional storage and transportation device for sawn aluminum rods, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a first conveyor line 1 for receiving and conveying sawn finished aluminum bars; a storage component 2 for storing finished aluminum bars; a first transfer component 3 for transferring finished aluminum bars from the first conveyor line 1 to the storage component 2; a second conveyor line 8 for outbound conveying of finished aluminum bars from the storage component 2; a third conveyor line 9 for secondary sorting and conveying of outbound aluminum bars; a second transfer component 10 for transferring finished aluminum bars from the storage component 2 to the second conveyor line 8; a first sorting component 11 for transferring finished aluminum bars from the second conveyor line 8 to the third conveyor line 9; and several second sorting components 12 for sorting finished aluminum bars from the third conveyor line 9 and conveying them to the next process.
[0030] Specifically, when storing the sawn finished aluminum bars, the finished aluminum bars are transported by the first conveyor line 1, and the first transfer component 3 automatically transfers the finished aluminum bars on the first conveyor line 1 to the target storage location in the storage component 2, so as to achieve the effect of rapid storage and transportation.
[0031] When finished aluminum bars need to be shipped out and transported to the next process, the second transfer component 10 transfers the finished aluminum bars that need to be shipped out from the storage component 2 to the second conveyor line 8. The first sorting component 11 then marks the finished aluminum bars on the second conveyor line 8 with a code and transfers them to the third conveyor line 9. The second sorting component 12 sorts and picks up the finished aluminum bars on the third conveyor line 9 and places them aside for easy transport to the next process.
[0032] Specifically, the first conveyor line 1, the second conveyor and the third conveyor line 9 are all composed of several conveyor rollers with a spacing of several rollers. An independent drive mechanism is provided on the first conveyor line 1, which drives several conveyor rollers to facilitate the conveying of finished aluminum rods.
[0033] In other embodiments, if it is necessary to remove and transfer the finished aluminum rods in the storage component 2, the finished aluminum rods can also be transferred from the target position of the storage component 2 to the target position of the next process through the first transfer component 3, which further increases the adaptability of the scenario.
[0034] Furthermore, the storage component 2 includes: a plurality of first placement racks 21 and a plurality of second placement racks 22; the plurality of first placement racks 21 are equidistantly arranged to form a first storage area 23 for placing and storing finished aluminum bars of one specification; the plurality of second placement racks 22 are equidistantly arranged to form a second storage area 24 for storing finished aluminum bars of another specification.
[0035] In Embodiment 1, a first storage area 23 and a second storage area 24 for storing different specifications are formed by a number of first placement racks 21 and a number of second placement racks 22 of two different specifications, so as to better utilize the existing storage space and automatically implement aluminum rod classification, which facilitates sorting and screening in the next process.
[0036] Further, the first transfer component 3 includes: a robotic arm 4 for gripping finished aluminum bars on the first conveyor line 1, a first drive unit 5 for driving the robotic arm 4 to move in the Z-axis direction, a second drive unit 6 for driving the first drive unit 5 to move in the X-axis direction, and a third drive unit 7 for driving the second drive unit 6 to move in the Y-axis direction; the robotic arm 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive unit 5; the first drive unit 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive unit 6; and the second drive unit 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third drive unit 7.
[0037] In Embodiment 2, the robotic arm 4 can grab the finished aluminum rods on the first conveyor line 1. Through the first drive unit 5, the second drive unit 6 and the third drive unit 7, the robotic arm 4 can move along the X, Y and Z axes. The robotic arm 4 can be intelligently and automatically moved to various positions, thereby enabling the robotic arm 4 to grab the finished aluminum rods and transport them to the target position in the target storage area of the storage component 2.
[0038] Specifically, the first transfer component 3 and the second transfer component 10 have the same structure but different working principles. The structure of the second transfer component 10 will not be described in detail below.
[0039] Furthermore, the robotic arm 4 includes: a support member 41 and a gripper 42 for gripping and placing finished aluminum bars; one end of the support member 41 is fixedly connected to the gripper 42, and the other end of the support member 41 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive unit 5; the gripper 42 is provided with a plurality of claw-shaped parts 43; the plurality of claw-shaped parts 43 cooperate to form a gripping area 44 for gripping and placing.
[0040] In Embodiment 3, the support member 41 serves as a medium to the drive unit, enabling the gripper 42 connected to the support member 41 to move; the gripper 42 is provided with a plurality of claw-shaped members 43 to support finished aluminum bars of different sizes and specifications, which can effectively prevent the finished aluminum bars from falling off the gripper 42 during the transfer and transmission process.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the spacing between the claw-shaped parts 43 is slightly larger than that between the conveyor rollers on the first conveyor line 1, so as to prevent the gripper 42 from gripping the finished aluminum rods on the first conveyor line 1 and causing damage to the equipment.
[0042] Further, the first driving unit 5 includes: a support plate 51, a connector 52, and a first driving member 53 for driving the connector 52 to move in the Z-axis direction; the support plate 51 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second driving unit 6; one end of the connector 52 is fixedly connected to the support plate 41; the first driving member 53 is disposed on the support plate 51, and the output end of the first driving member 53 is fixedly connected to the connector 52; the other end of the connector 52 is slidably connected to the support plate 51.
[0043] In Example 4, as Figure 3 As shown, the connector 52 serves as the medium between the connector and the robot 4. The first drive unit 53 on the support plate 51 drives the connector 52, thereby enabling the robot 4 to move in the Z-axis direction. This allows the robot 4 to grab the finished aluminum rods on the first conveyor line 1, facilitating the transportation of the next step.
[0044] Specifically, the first driving component 53 can be a hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, or other driving component with driving movement function.
[0045] Further, the second drive unit 6 includes: a support frame 61, a first movable frame 62, a second movable frame, and a second drive member 63 for driving the support plate 51 to move on the support frame 61; one end of the support frame 61 is fixedly connected to the first movable frame 62, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second movable frame; the first movable frame 62 and the second movable frame are respectively fixedly connected to the output end of the third drive unit 7; the second drive member 63 is disposed on the support frame 61; the output end of the second drive member 63 is fixedly connected to the support plate 51.
[0046] In Example 5, as Figure 2-3 As shown, the support frame 61, the first moving frame 62, and the second moving frame form the X-axis moving system in the entire motion system. With the first driving unit 5 as the medium, the second driving component 63 drives the support plate 51 to move on the support frame 61, thereby driving the robot arm 4 to move in the X-axis direction, thus enabling the robot arm 4 to move to the target position while carrying the finished aluminum rod or when unloaded.
[0047] Specifically, the second driving component 63 is a combination of a driving component, a transmission belt, and a transmission wheel. The transmission wheel is located below the support plate 51 and is connected to the transmission belt for transmission. The transmission belt is driven by the driving component, and the support plate 51 is moved by the transmission wheel as a medium. The driving component can be a hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, or other driving component with driving movement function.
[0048] Further, the third drive unit 7 includes: a plurality of first support columns 71, a plurality of second support columns 72, a first adapter frame 73, a second adapter frame 74, a third drive member 75 disposed on the first adapter frame 73, and a fourth drive member 76 disposed on the second adapter frame 74; the plurality of first support columns 71 and the plurality of second support columns 72 are symmetrically arranged at equal intervals on the ground; the first adapter frame 73 is detachably connected to the plurality of first support columns 71 respectively; the second adapter frame 74 is detachably connected to the plurality of second support columns 72 respectively; the output end of the third drive member 75 is driveably connected to the first movable frame 62; the output end of the fourth drive member 76 is driveably connected to the second movable frame.
[0049] In Example 6, as Figure 2-3 As shown, a number of first support columns 71, a number of second support columns 72, a first adapter frame 73, and a second adapter frame 74 constitute the Y-axis movement system in the entire motion system. Through the second drive unit 6 as a medium, the third drive member 75 on the first adapter frame 73 and the fourth drive member 76 on the second adapter frame 74 synchronously drive the first moving frame 62 and the second moving frame in the second drive unit 6, thereby realizing the movement of the robot arm 4 in the Y-axis direction, and thus enabling the robot arm 4 to move to the target position while carrying the finished aluminum rod or when unloaded.
[0050] Specifically, the third drive component 75 and the fourth drive component 76 have similar structures but different positions. Taking the third drive component 75 as an example, it is a combination of a drive component, a transmission belt, and a transmission wheel. The transmission wheel is located below the first moving frame 62 and is connected to the transmission belt for transmission. The drive component drives the transmission belt for transmission, and the transmission wheel acts as a medium to move the first moving frame 62. The drive component can be a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or other drive component with driving and moving functions.
[0051] Further, the first placement rack 21 includes: a fixed base 211, a first upright 212, and a second upright 213; the first upright 212 and the second upright 213 are detachably connected to the fixed base 211; the first upright 212 and the second upright 213 are symmetrically arranged; a plurality of first extension members 214 are equidistantly arranged on both sides of the first upright 212; a plurality of second extension members 215, corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of first extension members 214, are equidistantly arranged on both sides of the second upright 213; the plurality of first extension members 214 and the corresponding second extension members 215 cooperate to form a plurality of support areas 216 for supporting the finished aluminum rod.
[0052] In Example 7, as Figure 4As shown, the first upright 212 and the second upright 213 set on the fixed base 211 divide the entire storage rack into two storage areas on both sides, further utilizing the storage space; a number of first extensions 214 on the first upright 212 and a number of corresponding second extensions 215 on the second upright 213 cooperate with each other to form a number of support areas 216. After being transported by the first transfer component 3, the finished aluminum rods are accurately placed on the target support area 216, realizing the placement and storage of the finished aluminum rods.
[0053] In another embodiment, the structure of the first placement rack 21 is similar to that of the second placement rack 22. To store finished aluminum bars of another specification, the spacing between the first upright rack 212 and the second upright rack 213, the spacing between adjacent first extension members 214 and adjacent second extension members 215 are adjusted to accommodate finished aluminum bars of different specifications.
[0054] In other embodiments, depending on the actual storage conditions, multiple racks of different sizes can be added to create more storage areas that can store different sizes, thereby further improving storage efficiency and scenario adaptability.
[0055] Further, the second sorting assembly 12 includes: a sorting frame, a sorting component 13 for sorting and clamping finished aluminum bars, a conveyor 121 for receiving finished aluminum bars transferred by the sorting component 13, a fifth drive component 122 for driving the sorting component 13 to move in the Z-axis direction, and a sixth drive component 123 for driving the fifth drive component 122 to move in the X-axis direction; the sixth drive component 123 is disposed on the sorting frame; the output end of the fifth drive component 122 is drivenly connected to the output end of the sixth drive component 123; the sorting component 13 is drivenly connected to the output end of the even-numbered fifth drive component 122; the conveyor 121 is disposed on one side of the sorting component 13.
[0056] Specifically, the fifth drive component 122 and the second and sixth drive components have similar structures but different positions. Taking the third drive component 75 as an example, it is a combination of drive component, conveyor belt and drive wheel to drive and thus realize the movement of sorting component 13 on the sorting rack in the X and Z axis directions.
[0057] Specifically, the first sorting component 11 and the second sorting component 12 have similar structures, but the difference is that the first sorting component 11 does not include the conveyor table 121. The first sorting component 11 places the sorted finished aluminum bars onto the third conveyor line 9 to complete the preliminary sorting process, while the second sorting component 12 sorts the finished aluminum bars that have been preliminarily sorted on the third conveyor line 9 onto the conveyor table 121, which is then connected to the next process to realize the operation of transporting the finished aluminum bars to the next process.
[0058] In other embodiments, the first sorting component 11 and the second sorting component 12 may also be equipped with a code reader for reading the coding marks on the finished aluminum bars to further increase the sorting accuracy.
[0059] Further, the sorting component 13 includes: a connecting frame 131, an aluminum rod clamp 132 for clamping finished aluminum rods, and a seventh driving component 133 for driving the aluminum rod clamp 132 to clamp or place; the connecting frame 131 is drivenly connected to the output end of the fifth driving component 122; the seventh driving component 133 is detachably connected to the connecting frame 131; the aluminum rod clamp 132 is disposed on one end of the connecting frame 131 near the conveyor table 121; the aluminum rod clamp 132 is drivenly connected to the output end of the seventh driving component 133.
[0060] In Example 8, as Figure 6 As shown, the aluminum rod clamp 132 is connected to the fifth drive unit 122 via the connecting frame 131, thereby enabling the aluminum rod clamp 132 connected to the connecting frame 131 to move in the X and Z directions. The opening and closing of the aluminum rod clamp 132 is controlled by the seventh drive unit 133 on the connecting frame 131, thereby realizing the step of clamping the finished aluminum rod on the third conveyor line 9 and conveying it to the conveyor table 121 for placement.
[0061] Specifically, the seventh driving component 133 can be a driving component with hydraulic opening and closing driving function, such as a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder. In this embodiment, a hydraulic cylinder is selected.
[0062] In the specific implementation process, after receiving a specific task order, such as placing the finished aluminum bar on the first conveyor line 1 onto the first placement rack 21 of the first storage area 23, the second drive unit 6 and the third drive unit 7 cooperate to move the robot arm 4 above the first conveyor line 1. The first drive unit 5 drives the robot arm 4 to move along the Z-axis to move to one side of the first conveyor line 1. The second drive unit 6 drives the robot arm 4 to move along the X-axis, so that the robot arm 4 moves from the gap of the first conveyor line 1 to the bottom of the first conveyor line 1. The first drive unit 5 moves along the Z-axis, so that the finished aluminum bar on the first conveyor line 1 is picked up from the bottom of the first conveyor line 1 and placed on the gripping area 44 of the robot arm 4, so that the finished aluminum bar can be transferred and placed to the target position later.
[0063] During the movement of the finished aluminum bar, the robot arm 4 is brought to the target first placement rack 21 in the first storage area 23 by the cooperation of the second drive unit 6 and the third drive unit 7. The robot arm 4 is driven by the first drive unit 5 to move along the Z-axis, so that it is on the same horizontal line as the target position on the first placement rack 21. The second drive unit 6 drives it to move closer to the target position. When it reaches the appropriate placement position, the first drive unit 5 drives the robot arm 4 to move along the Z-axis, so that the finished aluminum bar is lowered and placed on the first placement rack 21. During the continued descent, the finished aluminum bar separates from the robot arm 4, completing the operation of placing the finished aluminum bar on the target position of the first placement rack 21 in the first storage area 23.
[0064] When finished aluminum bars from storage component 2 need to be outbound and transported, the second transfer component 10 transfers the target finished aluminum bars from the target storage area's target placement rack to the second conveyor line 8. Its working principle is similar to that of the first transfer component 3 and will not be elaborated further. When the finished aluminum bars arrive at the second conveyor line 8, the first sorting component 11 sorts and transfers them to the third conveyor line 9. Then, several second sorting components 12 transfer the finished aluminum bars from the third conveyor line 9 to the next process. In this process, taking the second sorting component 12 as an example, the cooperation of the fifth drive frame and the sixth drive component 123 on the sorting rack enables... The sorting component 13 approaches the finished aluminum bar to be picked up and sorted. The seventh drive component 133 drives the aluminum bar clamp 132 to separate. The fifth drive component 122 drives the aluminum bar clamp 132 to descend. The seventh drive component 133 then drives the aluminum bar clamp 132 to clamp the finished aluminum bar. The aluminum bar clamp 132 then clamps the finished aluminum bar. Then, through the cooperation of the fifth drive component 122 and the sixth drive component 123, the sorting component 13 carries the picked-up finished aluminum bar to the top of the conveyor table 121. The seventh drive component 133 drives the aluminum bar clamp 132 to open and release it. The finished aluminum bar falls onto the conveyor table 121 according to its own weight, so that it can enter the next processing step.
[0065] This utility model discloses a three-dimensional storage and transportation device for sawn aluminum rods. The storage component 2 divides the storage space into several storage areas for storing different specifications and sizes, which can make full and effective use of the storage space and improve work efficiency in subsequent transportation and packaging.
