Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flooring technology, specifically relating to an automated production line for aluminum alloy flooring. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum alloy flooring typically undergoes processes such as drilling and milling during manufacturing. Different processes require different equipment, and the flooring needs to be moved around according to the location of the equipment.
[0003] With the gradual development of automation, the current technical solution is to arrange the various processing equipment for aluminum alloy flooring in a straight line, and set up loading and unloading devices between adjacent processing equipment to complete the automated transportation and processing of the flooring. However, this solution has the following problems: if any piece of equipment needs maintenance, the entire production line must stop. Furthermore, different equipment has different processing times, and subsequent equipment can only start working after the previous process is completed, which reduces production efficiency. Secondly, each piece of equipment requires a corresponding loading and unloading device, resulting in high manufacturing and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes an automated production line for aluminum alloy flooring, which has the advantages of high production efficiency and low operating cost.
[0006] An automated aluminum alloy flooring production line according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a conveying device on which aluminum alloy flooring is conveyed; and a processing unit disposed on one side of the conveying device, the processing unit including a drilling machine, a first edge milling machine, a second edge milling machine, a double-head milling machine, and a pick-and-place robot, the movement range of the pick-and-place robot being circular, the drilling machine, the first edge milling machine, the second edge milling machine, and the double-head milling machine being spaced apart in a clockwise direction along the circle, and the pick-and-place robot being used to grab the aluminum alloy flooring and move it between the conveying device, the drilling machine, the first edge milling machine, the second edge milling machine, and the double-head milling machine.
[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the processing unit further includes a buffer rack located between the dual-head milling machine and the pick-and-place robot, and the buffer rack is used to support the aluminum alloy floor.
[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes another conveying device, which is parallel to one of the conveying devices.
[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the number of processing units is two, the two processing units are located on one side of one of the conveying devices, and the circular range of the pick-and-place robot simultaneously covers both of the conveying devices.
[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, limiters are installed at both ends of the two conveying devices to position the aluminum alloy floor, and the limiters are located within the activity range of the corresponding pick-and-place robot.
[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, another conveying device is provided with an electrical box and a control cabinet on the side away from the processing unit.
[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, one end of the conveying device is formed as a feeding end, and the other end of the conveying device is formed as a discharging end, and the aluminum alloy floor can be conveyed alternately on the two conveying devices.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the automated production line of this utility model does not require the installation of loading and unloading devices between the processing equipment of each process. Instead, it uses a conveyor device to transport the aluminum alloy flooring, and a pick-and-place robot grabs the aluminum alloy flooring and moves it to each processing equipment, thus reducing the number of loading and unloading devices and lowering costs. On the other hand, since the pick-and-place robot in this application can selectively load and unload the aluminum alloy flooring according to whether each equipment is in working condition, the efficiency of each equipment is maximized, ultimately improving production efficiency.

[0024] The automated production line for aluminum alloy flooring according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figures 1-2As shown, the automated production line for aluminum alloy flooring according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a conveying device 1 and a processing unit 2. The conveying device 1 conveys aluminum alloy flooring 3. The processing unit 2 is located on one side of the conveying device 1 and includes a drilling machine 21, a first milling machine 22, a second milling machine 23, a double-head milling machine 24, and a pick-and-place robot 26. The activity range of the pick-and-place robot 26 is circular. The drilling machine 21, the first milling machine 22, the second milling machine 23, and the double-head milling machine 24 are arranged at intervals along the clockwise direction of the circle. The pick-and-place robot 26 is used to grab the aluminum alloy flooring 3 and move it between the conveying device 1, the drilling machine 21, the first milling machine 22, the second milling machine 23, and the double-head milling machine 24.
[0026] In other words, the pick-and-place robot 26 is set on one side of the conveying device 1, and with the pick-and-place robot 26 as the center, the punching machine 21, the first milling machine 22, the second milling machine 23 and the double-head milling machine 24 are arranged clockwise. The entire process can be completed by one pick-and-place robot 26, which is cheaper. At the same time, for the milling process with long operation time, the first milling machine 22 and the second milling machine 23 are set up to ensure that the various processes cooperate with each other.
[0027] Furthermore, the processing unit 2 also includes a buffer rack 25, which is located between the dual-head milling machine 24 and the pick-and-place robot 26. The buffer rack 25 is used to support the aluminum alloy floor 3.
[0028] In other words, the single-operation time of the drilling machine 21, the first milling machine 22, the second milling machine 23, and the double-head milling machine 24 is different. Furthermore, to ensure the effective operating time of each machine, a buffer rack 25 is provided to temporarily store the aluminum alloy floorboards 3. For example, when the double-head milling machine 24 is operating, the aluminum alloy floorboard 3 processed by the first milling machine 22 or the second milling machine 23 can be placed on the buffer rack 25 first, and then another aluminum alloy floorboard 3 can be placed into the first milling machine 22 or the second milling machine 23. This ensures the effective working time of the equipment and improves efficiency.
[0029] In this embodiment, another conveying device 1 is also included, which is parallel to the first conveying device 1. Furthermore, there are two processing units 2, located on one side of the first conveying device 1, and the circular movement range of the pick-and-place robot 26 simultaneously covers both conveying devices 1. Further, one end of the conveying device 1 is formed as an inlet end, and the other end is formed as an outlet end, allowing the aluminum alloy floor 3 to be alternately conveyed on the two conveying devices 1.
[0030] In other words, there are two conveying devices 1 and two processing units 2, which can speed up the operation. At the same time, compared with arranging two production lines separately, this arrangement makes the structure more compact. Furthermore, when one of the devices needs maintenance, the other device can still take over the work.
[0031] According to one embodiment of the present invention, limiters 11 are installed at both ends of the two conveying devices 1 to position the aluminum alloy floor 3. The limiters 11 are located within the activity range of the corresponding pick-and-place robot 26.
[0032] The limit switch 11 can block and position the aluminum alloy floor 3 during transport, thereby ensuring that the pick-and-place robot 26 can accurately grab it.
[0033] According to one embodiment of this utility model, an electrical box and control cabinet are provided on the side of the other conveying device 1 away from the processing unit 2. The advantage of this arrangement is that operators can stay away from the working areas of the processing unit 2, thus improving safety.
[0034] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the automated production line of this utility model does not require the installation of loading and unloading devices between the processing equipment of each process. The aluminum alloy floor 3 is transported by the conveying device 1, and the aluminum alloy floor 3 is picked up and moved to each processing equipment by the pick-and-place robot 26, which reduces the number of loading and unloading devices and lowers the cost. On the other hand, since the pick-and-place robot 26 in this application can selectively load and unload the aluminum alloy floor 3 according to whether each equipment is in working state, the efficiency of each equipment is maximized, and the production efficiency is ultimately improved.
