[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0017] Referring to Figures 1-3, this specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: A device for aerogel shaping and positioning includes a positioning platform 1, a first limiting block 2, a first feeding plate 3, an infrared sensor 4, a second limiting block 5, a second feeding plate 6, a first cylinder 7, a nozzle 8, a second cylinder 9, a dust suction hood 10, and a support column 11. The positioning platform 1 is equipped with an infrared sensor 4, and also with a first limiting block 2 and a second limiting block 5 that can limit the aerogel according to a preset position. The outer sides of adjacent sides of the positioning platform 1 are divided into... A first material-pushing plate 3 and a second material-pushing plate 6 are provided. The first material-pushing plate 3 is connected to the first cylinder 7, and the second material-pushing plate 6 is connected to the second cylinder 9. Both the first material-pushing plate 3 and the second material-pushing plate 6 cooperate with the guide rail sliding rod on the outside of the positioning platform 1, and the movement path of the first material-pushing plate 3 and the second material-pushing plate 6 matches the preset position of the first material-pushing plate 3 and the second material-pushing plate 6. A dust suction hood 10 is provided below the positioning platform 1. The nozzle 8 of the dust suction hood 10 is aligned with the upper surface of the infrared sensor 4. The dust suction hood 10 is supported by a support column 11.

[0018] It is worth noting that the first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 9 use the same solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is connected in parallel to the first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 9 through air pipes and is connected to the control system PLC.

[0019] It is worth noting that the first limiting block 2 and the second limiting block 5 are fixed in the U-shaped groove of the positioning platform 1 by M4 hexagonal screws 12.

[0020] It is worth noting that the dust hood 10 has a double-layer structure, including an upper air jet chamber and a lower dust suction chamber. The upper air jet chamber continuously blows clean airflow onto the upper surface of the infrared sensor 4 through the nozzle 8, and the lower dust suction chamber is connected to an external negative pressure device through a dust suction pipe.

[0021] It is worth noting that the dust extraction pipe is made of Φ60mm PVC pipe.

[0022] It is worth noting that the blowing direction of the nozzle 8 forms an angle with the suction direction of the dust hood 10.

[0023] Furthermore, the first limiting block 2 and the second limiting block 5 are arranged perpendicularly.

[0024] The working principle of this specific embodiment is as follows: First, the front aerogel material handling device places the aerogel on the positioning platform 1. The infrared sensor 4 is blocked, and the first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 9 are then activated, pushing the first material-pushing plate 3 and the second material-pushing plate 6 to work together to accurately push the aerogel to the preset position, and achieve precise positioning through the first limiting plate 2 and the second limiting plate 5.

[0025] In this specific embodiment, the first feeding plate 3 and the second feeding plate 6 are driven by the first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 9, respectively. The two cylinders are powered by an external air source, and their timing is controlled by a PLC control system. The specific process is as follows:

[0026] 1. When the infrared sensor 4 detects that the aerogel has been placed on the positioning platform 1, a signal is triggered to the control system;

[0027] 2. The control system synchronously starts the first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 9 according to the preset program, which respectively push the first material feeding plate 3 and the second material feeding plate 6 to move towards the center along the guide rail outside the positioning platform 1.

[0028] 3. The movement path of the feeding plate matches the preset positions of the first limiting block 2 and the second limiting block 5, and the mechanical limiting ensures that the aerogel is pushed to the precise position.

[0029] The synchronized operation of the first feeding plate 3 and the second feeding plate 6 in this specific embodiment is achieved in the following way:

[0030] 1. Shared solenoid valve control: The first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 9 share the same solenoid valve and are driven by the same air source, ensuring that the intake and exhaust actions of the two cylinders are completely synchronized.

[0031] 2. Unified electrical signals: The control system (PLC) sends a single command signal to the solenoid valve, causing the two cylinders to start and extend and retract synchronously.

[0032] 3. Adjustment design of the limit block

[0033] The first limiting block 2 and the second limiting block 5 are fixed in the U-shaped groove of the positioning platform 1 by screw fastening (M4 internal hex screws);

[0034] When changing shapes, loosen the screws to slide the limit block along the U-shaped groove, adjust it to the preset position, and then tighten it again to adapt to the positioning needs of aerogels of different sizes.

[0035] 4. Guaranteed positioning accuracy

[0036] Driven by the cylinder, the first feeding plate 3 and the second feeding plate 6 move along the linear guide rail outside the positioning platform, pushing the aerogel to the right angle reference formed by the two limiting blocks.

[0037] The adjustment scale of the limit block is matched with the scale on the positioning platform to ensure that the positional accuracy error after the change is ≤0.5mm.

[0038] The dust hood 10 in this specific embodiment has a double-layer structure: the upper air jet chamber: continuously blows clean airflow onto the upper surface of the infrared sensor 4 through the nozzle 8 to prevent debris from adhering; the lower dust suction chamber: connected to an external negative pressure device (industrial vacuum cleaner) through a dust suction pipe (Φ60mm PVC pipe) to suck away the dust and debris generated during the aerogel filling process.

[0039] The blowing direction of nozzle 8 is at a certain angle (e.g., 45°) to the suction direction of the dust hood (10). The blowing air lifts the debris from the sensor surface, and the suction chamber sucks the suspended debris into the pipe in time through negative pressure. The air jet and suction actions are coordinated by the same control system to ensure continuous operation during the aerogel positioning process.

[0040] This specific implementation achieves cylinder synchronization through a shared solenoid valve, resulting in a simple structure and low cost; the limit block is flexibly adjustable: the screw fastening and U-groove design balance positioning accuracy and ease of changeover; the dust collection function is optimized: the combined action of blowing and negative pressure dust collection ensures a clean working area.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
