Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of loading equipment technology, specifically to a boat feeding device for material loading equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of materials such as cemented carbide, it is usually necessary to load prepared raw materials into boats and place them in equipment such as carbonization furnaces for carbonization. For example, tungsten carbide powder, the main raw material for producing cemented carbide, is generally made by mixing metallic tungsten powder and carbon black in a certain proportion. This mixture is then loaded into boats and placed in equipment such as carbonization furnaces for carbonization at a certain temperature. After ball milling and sieving, tungsten carbide powder is obtained. Due to production and process requirements, the boats used to load materials usually have removable lids. During production, the lids of the boats must first be removed, and then the boats without lids are sent to the material loading equipment for loading. After the materials are loaded into the boats, the lids are then placed back on the boats before they are sent to the carbonization furnace for carbonization. In the existing technology, the above operations are all performed manually, which has the problems of low automation, high labor intensity, high cost, and low efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a boat loading device for material loading equipment that can improve the degree of automation, reduce the intensity of manual labor, reduce costs and improve efficiency.

[0009] The first driving mechanism includes a first lifting and moving module and a first horizontal moving module for driving the first lifting and moving module to move horizontally between the conveying component and the cover placement component. The first lifting and moving module is connected to the cover placement mechanism and can drive the cover placement mechanism to move up and down. The second driving mechanism includes a second lifting and moving module and a second horizontal moving module for driving the second lifting and moving module to move horizontally between the paper storage box and the conveying component. The second lifting and moving module is connected to the paper placement mechanism and can drive the paper placement mechanism to move up and down.
[0010] The first horizontal moving module and the second horizontal moving module are mounted on the same bracket.
[0011] The first horizontal moving module includes a first horizontal moving seat horizontally slidable on the bracket and a first telescopic drive member mounted on the bracket for driving the first horizontal moving seat to reciprocate horizontally.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the boat-feeding device for material loading equipment in this embodiment includes a conveying assembly 1 for conveying boats (labeled Z in the figure), a cover-placing assembly 2 for placing covers (labeled G in the figure), and a cover-lifting assembly 3 for removing the covers of the boats on the conveying assembly 1 and placing them on the cover-placing assembly 2. The cover-lifting assembly 3 includes a cover-picking and placing mechanism 31 for picking up and placing the covers, and a first driving mechanism 32 for driving the cover-picking and placing mechanism 31 to move and place the covers on the cover-placing assembly 2. This boat-feeding device for material loading equipment can continuously convey boats to the material loading equipment through the conveying assembly 1. During the conveying process, the cover-lifting assembly 3 removes the covers of the boats on the conveying assembly 1 and places them on the cover-placing assembly 2, thereby automatically removing the covers of the boats and sending them to the material loading equipment. This can improve the degree of automation, reduce the intensity of manual labor, reduce costs, and improve efficiency.
[0026] In this embodiment, the boat loading device for the material loading equipment also includes a padding paper assembly 4 for lining the boat container with release paper (marked as P in the figure) after the lid has been removed. The padding paper assembly 4 automatically lays the release paper inside the boat container after the lid has been removed, thus meeting the production process requirement of automatically lining the release paper inside the boat container after the lid has been removed.
[0027] In this embodiment, the paper pad assembly 4 includes a paper storage box 41 for storing release paper, a paper loading / unloading mechanism 42 for loading and unloading release paper, and a second drive mechanism 43 for driving the paper loading / unloading mechanism 42 to place the release paper into the boat after the lid has been opened on the conveying assembly 1. Multiple release papers are pre-stacked in the paper storage box 41. When placing the release paper, after the conveying assembly 1 transports a boat after the lid has been opened to a designated position, the paper loading / unloading mechanism 42 holds the release paper in the paper storage box 41. Then, the second drive mechanism 43 drives the paper loading / unloading mechanism 42 to move the release paper into the boat to be placed. The paper loading / unloading mechanism 42 releases the release paper, thus placing the release paper into the boat. After the release paper is placed in one boat after the lid has been opened, the conveying assembly 1 transports the next boat after the lid has been opened to a designated position, and the above process is repeated to complete the placement of the release paper into the next boat after the lid has been opened. The padding paper assembly 4 has the advantages of simple and compact structure and low cost.
[0028] In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 32 includes a first lifting and moving module and a first horizontal moving module for driving the first lifting and moving module to move horizontally between the conveying component 1 and the lid placement component 2. The first lifting and moving module is connected to the lid picking and placing mechanism 31 and can drive the lid picking and placing mechanism 31 to move up and down. The first horizontal moving module drives the first lifting and moving module to move the lid picking and placing mechanism 31 horizontally to above the conveying component 1. By using the first lifting and moving module to drive the lid picking and placing mechanism 31 to move up and down, the lid of the vessel on the conveying component 1 can be removed. Then, by using the first horizontal moving module to drive the first lifting and moving module to move the lid picking and placing mechanism 31 horizontally to above the lid placement component 2, the lid can be placed on the lid placement component 2. The second drive mechanism 43 includes a second lifting and moving module and a second horizontal moving module for driving the second lifting and moving module to move horizontally between the paper storage box 41 and the conveying assembly 1. The second lifting and moving module is connected to the paper picking and placing mechanism 42 and can drive the paper picking and placing mechanism 42 to move up and down. The second horizontal moving module drives the second lifting and moving module to move the paper picking and placing mechanism 42 horizontally to above the paper storage box 41. By using the second lifting and moving module to drive the paper picking and placing mechanism 42 to move up and down, the separating paper in the paper storage box 41 can be picked up. Then, by using the second horizontal moving module to drive the second lifting and moving module to move the paper picking and placing mechanism 42 horizontally to above the boat on the conveying assembly 1 after the cover has been opened, the separating paper picked up can be placed in the boat. The first drive mechanism 32 and the second drive mechanism 43 mentioned above adopt a combination structure of lifting and horizontal moving module. The structure is simple and compact, and the cost is low. The cover picking and placing mechanism 31 and the paper picking and placing mechanism 42 only perform horizontal and vertical movements to pick up and place the cover and the isolation paper. The action path is simple, the control is convenient, and it is easy to ensure accuracy and stable and reliable operation.
[0029] In this embodiment, the first horizontal moving module and the second horizontal moving module are mounted on the same bracket 5, which saves costs and improves structural compactness. Preferably, the first horizontal moving module and the second horizontal moving module are respectively located on opposite sides of the bracket 5, so that the bracket 6 is subjected to balanced forces and has good stability.
[0030] In this embodiment, such as 2 and Figure 4As shown, the first horizontal moving module includes a first horizontal moving seat 321 horizontally slidably mounted on the bracket 5 and a first telescopic drive member 322 mounted on the bracket 5 for driving the first horizontal moving seat 321 to reciprocate horizontally. The first lifting moving module includes a second telescopic drive member 323 mounted on the first horizontal moving seat 321, and the drive end of the second telescopic drive member 323 is connected to the cover picking and placing mechanism 31. The second horizontal moving module includes a second horizontal moving seat 431 horizontally slidably mounted on the bracket 5 and a third telescopic drive member 432 mounted on the bracket 5 for driving the second horizontal moving seat 431 to reciprocate horizontally. The second lifting moving module includes a fourth telescopic drive member 433 mounted on the second horizontal moving seat 431, and the drive end of the fourth telescopic drive member 433 is connected to the paper picking and placing mechanism 42. This type of first horizontal moving module, first lifting moving module, second horizontal moving module, and second lifting moving module has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to control. The first telescopic drive component 322, the second telescopic drive component 323, the third telescopic drive component 432, and the fourth telescopic drive component 433 are preferably telescopic cylinders, but telescopic hydraulic cylinders or electric push rods can also be used. In other embodiments, the first horizontal moving module, the first lifting moving module, the second horizontal moving module, and the second lifting moving module can also adopt other existing structural forms, as long as they can drive the cover picking mechanism 31 and the paper picking mechanism 42 to achieve their functional purposes in the form of horizontal movement and vertical movement.
[0031] In this embodiment, both the lid-picking and paper-picking mechanism 31 and the paper-picking and paper-picking mechanism 42 are vacuum suction cup robotic arms. Vacuum suction cup robotic arms are existing conventional technology, commercially available, or can be obtained by conventionally assembling existing mature commercially available parts as needed. They are easy to manufacture and have low cost. In other embodiments, the lid-picking and paper-picking mechanism 31 and the paper-picking and paper-picking mechanism 42 can also use other existing mechanisms, as long as they can achieve the function of holding and releasing the lid or separating the paper, such as clamping robotic arms.
[0032] In this embodiment, the lid-laying assembly 2 is a conveyor line, which facilitates the transport of lids to a preset position for other process operations. For example, after materials are loaded into the boat through the material loading equipment, it is necessary to re-cover the boat with materials at a set lid-laying station. At this time, the lid can be transported to the lid-laying station via the conveyor line. The conveyor line is preferably a belt conveyor, and the conveyor assembly 1 in this embodiment is also a belt conveyor.
[0033] In this embodiment, the boat loading device for the material loading equipment also includes a transition chamber 6. The transition chamber 6 has an inlet, an outlet, a first gate 61 for opening and closing the inlet, and a second gate 62 for opening and closing the outlet. The output end of the conveying assembly 1 is connected to the inlet. The transition chamber 6 is provided to facilitate docking with material loading equipment that has requirements such as atmosphere and sealing.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, and the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. For those skilled in the art, improvements and modifications obtained without departing from the technical concept of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
