[0002] Currently, in the production process of pipe piles, manual labor is often employed, with workers standing on both sides of the flatbed cart using handheld pneumatic drills. They visually observe the position of the screws, insert the sleeve into the pipe mold screws, and tighten it. When changing workstations, workers typically move manually from one platform to another.

[0023] To more clearly describe the technical content of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] This utility model discloses a ground rail moving device for automatically switching workstations, comprising a ground rail 1, a drive component 2, a moving component 3, two robotic arms 4, and a positioning component 5. The ground rail 1 serves as the lower frame, installed and fixed on the pre-embedded foundation plate of the pit. The moving component 3 serves as the upper frame, connected to the ground rail 1 via a linear guide rail and a slider. The drive component 2 is mounted on the moving component 3, and a gear is installed at the end of the drive component 2. The gear meshes with a rack on the ground rail 1, and the gear and rack drive each other. The two robotic arms 4 are mounted on the moving component 3, and the positioning component 5 is mounted on the moving component 3. The robotic arms 4 and the positioning component 5 follow the moving component 3 to switch workstations.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes a linear guide rail and a gear rack, the linear guide rail and the gear rack being installed on the ground rail 1, a linear slider being installed on the linear guide rail, and the moving component 3 being installed and fixed above the linear slider.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device is installed inside the pit, the flatcar track 6 is installed longitudinally above the pit, a section of the flatcar track 6 located above the pit is cut off, a moving shaft is installed laterally at the bottom of the pit, and the cut-off section of the flatcar track 6 is installed on the moving shaft, and the workstation is switched together with the moving component 3.

[0027] This utility model mainly addresses the front-end process of precast pile production lines, specifically the practical application of automatic bolt tightening of the pipe mold after it is closed on a flatcar. It enables automatic switching between different track positions. The structural form of this solution primarily addresses the problem of limited space height preventing equipment installation and use. It solves the problems of switching between different tracks and precise positioning during mold closure. Combined with automated equipment, it achieves automated production of the pipe mold bolt tightening position, resolving the issue of limited height space preventing automatic switching between different tracks.

[0028] The key technical point and utility model of this invention are the ground rail moving mechanism scheme and the implementation method of moving and locking different track positions.

[0029] This mobile mechanism is installed below the pit and adopts a double-layer welded frame structure. The lower frame is the ground rail 1, which is installed on the pre-embedded foot plate and welded and fixed on site. The upper frame is the mobile component 3, which is the foundation for the installation and fixation of the robotic arm 4.

[0030] The lower frame is equipped with a linear guide rail and a rack. The linear guide rail has a linear slider, and the linear slider has a moving component 3.

[0031] The drive assembly 2 is mounted on the moving assembly 3. A gear is mounted at the end of the drive assembly 2. The gear meshes with a rack mounted on the ground track 1 and forms linear motion through the gear and rack transmission.

[0032] Two robotic arms 4 and a positioning component 5 are mounted on the moving component 3 and switch workstations together with the moving component 3.

[0033] In this specific embodiment of the invention, the entire mechanism is installed in a pit. The flatcar track 6 is cut off, and one section of the cut-off flatcar track 6 is installed on the moving component 3. The flatcar moves longitudinally, and the moving mechanism moves laterally. When a track signal requiring bolt tightening is received, the positioning component 5 raises the positioning pin via a cylinder, unlocking the current work position. Then, the drive component 2 drives the moving component 3 and two robotic arms 4 to move to the corresponding flatcar track 6 work position. Upon reaching the corresponding flatcar track 6 work position, the positioning component 5, driven by a cylinder, inserts the pin into the pin hole, locking the current work position again to prevent the moving component 3 from shaking during the bolt tightening process.

[0034] At this time, the corresponding flatcar track 6 is connected, and the other flatcar tracks 6 are disconnected. The flatcar on the connected track begins to move forward. The vision device begins to scan the image of the pipe mold bolt and identify the bolt position information. The robotic arm 4 moves to the corresponding bolt position according to the identified bolt position information, and puts the sleeve on the bolt to start tightening the pipe mold bolt. When the entire pipe mold bolt is tightened, the robotic arm 4 returns to its original position, and the flatcar at the current work station returns at high speed.

[0035] After the flatcar returns, the device, based on the track signal, repeats the process described above to quickly move to the next track station, locks it in place, and begins tightening the bolts of the next pipe mold.

[0036] This structural form and cyclical method enable automatic switching between multiple track workstations. The pit structure effectively solves the problem of insufficient height space.

[0037] This device enables the switching of workstations between different tracks in a single process, and the movement and positioning of the equipment between different positions within its own range. The transmission method is gear and rack transmission.

[0038] An alternative solution could place two robotic arms on each track separately, eliminating the need for workstation switching and achieving the same effect of improving production efficiency and tightening pipe mold bolts. However, this alternative solution is costly, requires a large area, and lacks market advantages.
