Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated warehousing technology, and in particular to a vertical truss execution device for automatically collecting information on aluminum rods. Background Technology

[0002] In the aluminum processing and manufacturing industry, large-scale automated warehouses are the core infrastructure for improving the storage density of aluminum bars and shortening the turnover cycle. As a typical long-shaft industrial material, aluminum bars have characteristics such as large single-bar length span, multiple diameter specifications, and strict surface quality requirements. The information collection process before warehousing (including length measurement, batch / model coding, warehousing time recording, etc.) is a key node connecting material loading and warehousing. The accuracy and efficiency of information collection directly affect the scheduling accuracy of the automated warehouse WMS and the overall operating efficiency of the production line.

[0003] However, the current aluminum rod information collection process generally suffers from technical bottlenecks such as heavy reliance on manual labor, weak equipment integration, and low production line efficiency. First, length measurement relies on manual measurement, batch / model coding relies on handheld coding guns, and identification code inspection relies on manual visual inspection. This method has large positioning errors and problems such as manual omissions and over-coding. In addition, the length measurement, coding, and verification equipment are scattered in different workstations. The aluminum rods need to go through multiple steps of "transportation-stopping-transfer" to complete the entire process of information collection. The processing cycle of a single aluminum rod is long, the overall production capacity is limited, and the scattered layout also leads to complex coordination and control between equipment, more failure points, and higher operation and maintenance costs. To solve the above problems, we propose a vertical truss execution device for automatic aluminum rod information collection. Utility Model Content

The vertical truss has a vertical slider at the vertical guide rail and a lifting gear at the lifting rack. The lifting gear and the lifting rack mesh to form a vertical lifting drive pair.

[0011] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a horizontal drive assembly, which drives a gear to mesh along a rack to achieve horizontal linear movement of the lifting rod along the guide rail; and a vertical lifting assembly, in which a servo motor drives a lifting gear to mesh along a lifting rack to achieve vertical lifting of the lifting rod along the Z-axis; wherein the rack and the vertical truss connecting beam are integrally formed, and the lifting rack and the side wall of the lifting rod are integrally formed.

[0012] Preferably, the end positioning top plate is vertically fixed to the frame of the aluminum rod support area and is positioned relative to the vertical truss; when the lifting rod moves to the work position, the detection end of the rangefinder abuts against both ends of the aluminum rod with the end positioning top plate, and the length of the aluminum rod is calculated by the distance.

[0013] Preferably, the axis of the scanning inspection camera lens is tilted at a 15°-30° angle to the axis of the coding machine nozzle, and the marking code on the end face of the aluminum rod is collected obliquely.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the vertical truss actuator for automatic aluminum rod information acquisition of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The device integrates a rangefinder, a coding machine, and a barcode scanning inspection camera at the end of the lifting rod. With the precise position control of the moving mechanism, it realizes fully unmanned operation of the entire process of "aluminum rod delivery → length measurement → identification code engraving → code verification feedback". The data error rate is significantly reduced compared with manual input. In addition, the axis of the barcode scanning inspection camera and the coding machine nozzle is at an angle, and coding and scanning inspection can be performed sequentially without the need to adjust the position, thus improving the work efficiency.

Gear 202 meshes with rack 103 to achieve horizontal linear movement of lifting rod 2 along guide rail 102; vertical lifting assembly 302, driven by servo motor, lifts gear 105 meshes with lifting rack 205 to achieve vertical lifting of lifting rod 2 along Z-axis; wherein, rack 103 is integrally formed with vertical truss 1 connecting beam 101, and lifting rack 205 is integrally formed with side wall of lifting rod 2; the end positioning top plate 402 is vertically fixed to aluminum rod support area 4 frame and positioned with vertical truss 1; when lifting rod 2 moves to work position, the detection end of rangefinder 201a abuts against both ends of aluminum rod with end positioning top plate 402, and the length of aluminum rod is calculated by the distance; the lens axis of barcode inspection camera 201c is tilted at 15°-30° with the nozzle axis of barcode printer 201b, and obliquely collects the marking code on the end face of aluminum rod.

[0027] It should be noted that the vertical truss 1 is a rectangular hollow connecting beam 101 that extends vertically along the warehouse loading line with its axis parallel to the aluminum rod. The connecting beam 101 has a T-shaped guide rail milled on the side facing the lifting rod 2, and a rack 103 is integrally milled on the side to provide a meshing foundation for horizontal transmission.

[0031] In use, aluminum bars enter the V-shaped roller 401 through the feeding area. Driven by the roller, they are centered and conveyed, and then stopped by the end positioning plate 402. The lifting rod 2 then moves horizontally above the aluminum bar and then descends vertically. The rangefinder 201a measures the length by contacting the other end of the aluminum bar, the marking machine 201b engraves the identification code, and the barcode scanner 201c scans the code at an angle. Various information about the aluminum bar, including length, batch / model, and warehousing time, is identified from the identification code. If there is an abnormality during code verification, repeated verification is triggered. After multiple failed verifications, an alarm signal is automatically triggered. If the barcode verification is successful, the lifting rod 2 resets, and the aluminum bar is sent to the automated warehouse from the discharge point.

[0032] In summary, the vertical truss actuator for automatic aluminum rod information acquisition in this embodiment integrates a rangefinder, a coding machine, and a barcode scanning camera at the end of the lifting rod. Combined with precise position control of the moving mechanism, it achieves fully unmanned operation throughout the entire process of "aluminum rod delivery → length measurement → barcode marking → barcode verification feedback." The data error rate is significantly reduced compared to manual input. Furthermore, the barcode scanning camera and the coding machine nozzle are at an angle, allowing coding and barcode scanning to be performed sequentially without position adjustments, thus improving work efficiency. Additionally, the aluminum rod support area employs a V-shaped concave arc-shaped roller with a fixed-end positioning top plate constraint design, enhancing the stability of the delivery posture and accommodating aluminum rods of different thicknesses. The roller delivers the aluminum rod to the abutment positioning top plate, where the rangefinder clamps both ends of the aluminum rod, measuring the actual length with minimal deviation and greater accuracy.
