Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ceramic tile production technology, and more specifically, to a ceramic tile transfer platform and a ceramic tile production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the tile production process, there is a step called the tile unloading process, which requires a robotic arm to transfer the tiles from the conveyor belt to a shelf or the next tile picking machine. For example, the robotic arm can directly unload the tiles one by one from the conveyor belt, or it can flip the tiles so that two tiles are stacked face to face, and then unload the stacked tiles.

[0003] Application No. 202221849371.3 discloses a flipping device for ceramic tile production. The flipping device for ceramic tile production includes: a frame body, a lifting and telescopic mechanism, a gripper mechanism, a set of robotic arms, and a flipping mechanism. The set of robotic arms is driven by the gripper mechanism to move closer to each other to clamp or move away from each other to release. The flipping mechanism is located between the gripper mechanism and the robotic arms. The robotic arms are driven by the flipping mechanism to rotate, so as to flip the ceramic tiles on the moving roller table.

[0004] While the aforementioned flipping device can store or unload tiles, its drawback lies at least in that, since the flipping device clamps the tiles on both sides in the lateral direction (i.e., the robotic arm clamps the tiles on both sides in the lateral direction), it cannot ensure that the stacked tiles remain neat in the longitudinal direction when the flipping device stacks the tiles together. This may affect the unloading operation of the robotic arm, or result in uneven stacking of tiles. In severe cases, manual sorting and stacking may be required, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0005] Therefore, existing technologies need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0052] Example 1:

[0053] Please see Figure 1This embodiment provides a tile transfer platform for the tile 600 unloading process, comprising: a platform body and at least one clamping mechanism 200. The platform body is used to carry the tile 600, and the clamping mechanism 200 is movably disposed on the platform body along a first direction. The clamping mechanism 200 is used to drive the tile 600 on the platform body to move along the first direction so that the tile 600 is neatly stacked in the longitudinal direction.

[0054] In this embodiment, the tile transfer platform is used as a transfer platform for the tile 600 unloading process. For example, it can be used as a transfer platform for the conveyor belt 300 ( Figure 7 The tiles 600 (as shown in the diagram) are stacked on the tile transfer platform. Then, a robotic arm transfers the tiles 600 from the tile transfer platform to the shelf 700. Taking the robotic arm gripping the tiles 600 in the horizontal direction as an example, the platform body is provided with a clamping mechanism 200. The clamping mechanism 200 can push the tiles 600 to move in the first direction, so that the stacked tiles 600 are aligned in the first direction. Here, the first direction is consistent with the longitudinal direction of the tiles 600. During the gripping process, the robotic arm can align the stacked tiles 600 in the horizontal direction, while the clamping mechanism 200 can align the stacked tiles 600 in the longitudinal direction, so that the stacked tiles 600 are aligned in both the horizontal and vertical directions, so that the stacked tiles 600 are neatly stacked on the shelf 700.

[0055] For example, the stacked tiles 600 are placed on the platform body, and then the clamping mechanism 200 arranges the stacked tiles 600 in the longitudinal direction. Then, the robot arm clamps the stacked tiles 600 in the lateral direction and transfers the stacked tiles 600 to the shelf 700, so that the tiles 600 are neatly stacked on the shelf 700.

[0056] Therefore, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 200 can push the stacked tiles 600 from the longitudinal direction of the tile 600, and the robot arm can clamp the stacked tiles 600 from the lateral direction of the tile 600, so that the stacked tiles 600 can be neatly arranged in both the lateral and longitudinal directions, and the robot arm can smoothly unload the stacked tiles 600.

[0057] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 The clamping mechanism 200 includes: a gripper portion 210, a drive source 220, and a set of guide components 230. The gripper portion 210 is movably disposed on the platform body and is used to abut against the tile 600. The drive source 220 is used to drive the gripper portion 210 to move along a first direction so that the gripper portion 210 is positioned on the tile 600. The set of guide components 230 is connected to the platform body and the gripper portion 210 and is used for the gripper portion 210 to slide.

[0058] In this embodiment, the drive source 220 can drive the gripper portion 210 to move along a first direction. The guide component 230 is connected to the gripper portion 210, enabling the gripper portion 210 to maintain directional movement and ensuring the stability of its movement. For example, when stacked tiles 600 are placed on the platform body 100, the drive source 220 drives the gripper portion 210 to move directionally along the guide component 230. The gripper portion 210 can then arrange the stacked tiles 600 in the longitudinal direction, keeping them neatly aligned.

[0059] For details, please refer to Figure 2 The gripper part 210 includes a gripper fixing plate 211 and a plurality of gripper plates 212. The gripper fixing plate 211 is connected to the drive source 220 and the guide assembly 230. The gripper plates 212 are disposed on the gripper fixing plate 211 and are used to abut against the ceramic tile 600.

[0060] In this embodiment, a plurality of gripper plates 212 may be installed on the gripper fixing plate 211. For example, two gripper plates 212 may be installed on the gripper fixing plate 211. The gripper fixing plate 211 is connected to the drive source 220 and the guide assembly 230. When the drive source 220 is working, the drive source 220 can push the gripper fixing plate 211 to move in a direction along the guide assembly 230, so that the gripper fixing plate 211 drives the gripper plates 212 to move in a direction, so that the clamping mechanism 200 can arrange the stacked tiles 600 in the longitudinal direction.

[0061] For details, please refer to Figure 3 The gripper portion 210 further includes an elastic pad 213, which is disposed on the gripper plate 212 and is used to abut against the tile 600. The elastic pad 213 has a cushioning effect and can protect the tile 600 from damage when in contact with it.

[0062] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 The drive source 220 includes a drive cylinder 221, one end of which is disposed on the platform body and the other end is fixedly connected to the gripper part 210. The guide assembly 230 includes a guide base 231 and two guide rods 232. The guide base 231 is connected to the drive cylinder 221, and the two guide rods 232 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the guide base 231. One end of the guide rod 232 is slidably connected to the guide base 231, and the other end is fixedly connected to the gripper fixing plate 211 of the gripper part 210.

[0063] In this embodiment, the drive source 220 is made of a drive cylinder 221, that is, the drive cylinder 221 pushes the gripper plate 212 to move, which is simple in structure and easy to implement. The guide assembly 230 includes: a guide base 231 and two guide rods 232. The two guide rods 232 can be located on the left and right sides of the piston rod of the drive cylinder 221, respectively. The guide rods 232 cooperate with the drive cylinder 221 to push the gripper fixing plate 211. The guide rods 232 can improve the reliability and stability of the operation of the drive cylinder 221, so that the gripper fixing plate 211 moves stably along a predetermined trajectory.

[0064] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 The tile transfer platform also includes a set of lifting and telescopic mechanisms 800. One lifting and telescopic mechanism 800 is located on the left side of the guide base 231, and the other lifting and telescopic mechanism 800 is located on the right side of the guide base 231. The lifting and telescopic mechanism 800 includes a lifting cylinder 810. One end of the lifting cylinder 810 is connected to the guide base 231, and the other end is fixedly connected to the platform body.

[0065] The clamping mechanism 200 also includes: a movable support 240, which is connected to the drive source 220 and the platform body. The movable support 240 includes a support base 241, a rotary joint 242 and a rotating shaft 243. A set of ear plates 244 are provided on the support base 241. The rotary joint 242 includes a fixed seat 246 and a lifting lug 245 provided on the fixed seat 246. The lifting lug 245 is embedded in the ear plate 244 and rotatably connected to the ear plate 244 through the rotating shaft 243. A drive cylinder 221 is installed on the fixed seat 246. A lifting cylinder 810 is used to drive the guide base 231 to move up and down so that the gripper plate 212 swings up and down.

[0066] In this embodiment, one end of the clamping mechanism 200 is hinged to the platform body via a movable bracket 240, and the other end of the clamping mechanism 200 is connected to the platform body via a lifting and telescopic mechanism 800. The lifting and telescopic mechanism 800 can drive the clamping mechanism 200 to swing up and down. The drive source 220 is movably connected to the platform body via the movable bracket 240, meaning the drive source 220 can swing up and down. One end of the lifting cylinder 810 can be mounted on the back of the docking platform 122 of the platform body via a rotating bracket 820, and the other end of the lifting cylinder 810 is fixed to the guide base 231. When the lifting cylinder 810 is working, it can drive the guide base 231 to move down, and the guide base 231 can drive the gripper plate 212 to move down. In this way, the gripper plate 212 can provide clearance space when not working, preventing the gripper plate 212 from interfering with the stacking of the tiles 600.

[0067] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1The clamping mechanism 200 also includes a set of baffles 250. The baffles 250 are disposed on the side of the platform body away from the gripper plate 212 of the clamping mechanism 200. When the gripper plate 212 pushes the tile 600 to move toward the baffle 250, the baffles 250 are used to cooperate with the gripper plate 212 to clamp the tile 600.

[0068] In this embodiment, the baffle 250 can be disposed on the docking platform 122 of the platform body. The baffle 250 cooperates with the gripper plate 212, and the baffle 250 can prevent the tile 600 from moving, so that the tile 600 is aligned in the longitudinal direction. For example, when the gripper plate 212 pushes the tile 600 to move towards the baffle 250, the baffle 250 can block the tile 600, so that the tile 600 remains aligned in the longitudinal direction. The baffle 250 can also be provided with an elastic gasket 213 to protect the tile 600 and prevent damage.

[0069] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 The platform body includes a transfer trolley 110 and a transfer mechanism 120. The transfer trolley 110 includes a transfer bracket 111, a first moving part 112, and a clamping part 113. The transfer bracket 111 is provided with the first moving part 112 and the clamping part 113. The first moving part 112 is used to drive the transfer bracket 111 to move, and the clamping part 113 is used to clamp the tile 600. The transfer mechanism 120 includes a platform body 121, a docking platform 122, and a second moving part 123. The platform body 121 is provided with the docking platform 122 and the second moving part 123, and the second moving part 123 is driven to connect with the docking platform 122. The docking platform 122 is detachably connected to the transfer bracket 111. With the help of the movement of the first moving part 112, the clamping part 113 transfers the tile 600 to the docking platform 122. The docking platform 122 is provided with a clamping mechanism 200.

[0070] In this embodiment, the transfer trolley 110 is disposed on one side of the conveyor belt 300. The transfer trolley 110 is used to move the tiles 600 on the conveyor belt 300 to the transfer mechanism 120. The transfer mechanism 120 is provided with a docking platform 122 and a clamping mechanism 200. When the tiles 600 are stacked on the docking platform 122, the clamping mechanism 200 can arrange the stacked tiles 600 in the longitudinal direction. Then, the robot arm clamps the tiles 600 in the transverse direction and transfers the stacked tiles 600 to the shelf 700.

[0071] For example, the transfer trolley 110 is driven by the first moving part 112 to move to one side of the conveyor belt 300, and then the clamping part 113 clamps and moves the tile 600 from the conveyor belt 300. Then, driven by the first moving part 112, the tile 600 is moved to one side of the docking platform 122. The clamping part 113 then releases the tile 600 onto the docking platform 122. Repeating the above steps, the clamping part 113 can stack the tiles 600 on the docking platform 122. Then, the lifting cylinder 810 of the clamping mechanism 200 drives the gripper plate 212 to move upward (initially, the gripper plate 212 remains in a downward position to avoid the transfer trolley 110). The rear drive cylinder 221 drives the gripper plate 212 to move toward the baffle 250, so that the gripper plate 212 arranges the stacked tiles 600 in the longitudinal direction. After arrangement, the lifting cylinder 810 drives the gripper plate 212 to move down. Then, the second moving part 123 drives the docking platform 122 to move, so that the docking platform 122 is in the unloading position. Then, the robot arm clamps the stacked tiles 600 from the unloading position and in the lateral direction, and transfers the stacked tiles 600 to the shelf 700. Then, the second moving part 123 drives the docking platform 122 to move to the loading position, waiting for the transfer trolley 110 to transport the tiles 600 from the conveyor belt 300.

[0072] Example 2:

[0073] This embodiment provides a tile production line, which includes the tile transfer platform as described in the above embodiment. Therefore, this tile production line possesses all the technical features and beneficial effects of the aforementioned tile transfer platform, which will not be elaborated further.

[0074] Example 3:

[0075] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 Based on the tile production line in Embodiment 2, this embodiment provides a tile production line, which further includes: a conveyor belt 300, a first robot arm 400, and a second robot arm 500. The conveyor belt 300 is used to transport tiles 600 to the platform body. The first robot arm 400 is located on the conveyor belt 300 and is used to stack the tiles 600 on the conveyor belt 300. The second robot arm 500 is located on one side of the platform body and is used to unload the tiles 600 on the platform body.

[0076] In this embodiment, when the conveyor belt 300 transports the first tile 600 to below the first robotic arm 400, the first robotic arm 400 can grasp the first tile 600. Then, when the conveyor belt 300 transports the second tile 600 to below the first robotic arm 400, the first robotic arm 400 can stack the first tile 600 on top of the second tile 600. Afterwards, the transfer trolley 110 can move the two tiles 600 onto the docking platform 122. Then, when the conveyor belt 300 transports the third tile 600 to below the first robotic arm 400, the first robotic arm 400 can grasp the third tile 600. Finally, when the conveyor belt 300 transports the fourth tile 600 to below the first robotic arm 400, the first robotic arm 400 can... The fourth tile 600 is stacked on top of the first tile. Then, the transfer trolley 110 returns and stacks the third and fourth tiles 600 together on the docking platform 122. That is, the docking platform 122 can hold four tiles 600. Then, the lifting cylinder 810 of the clamping mechanism 200 drives the gripper plate 212 to move upward (initially, the gripper plate 212 is in a downward position to avoid the transfer trolley 110). Then, the driving cylinder 221 drives the gripper plate 212 to move towards the baffle 250, so that the gripper plate 212 arranges the four stacked tiles 600 in the longitudinal direction. After arrangement, the lifting cylinder 810 drives the gripper plate 212 to move downward. Then, the second robot arm 500 can transfer the four tiles 600 to the shelf 700 at one time to improve the tile unloading efficiency.

The platform includes a platform body and at least one clamping mechanism. The platform body carries the tiles, and the clamping mechanism is movably disposed on the platform body along a first direction.
