In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention (Embodiment 1) is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The aluminum electrolysis multifunctional overhead crane laser material matching device specifically includes: a bridge frame 1, a trolley moving structure 2 installed on the bridge frame 1, and a robotic arm 3 fixedly installed at one end of the trolley moving structure 2;

[0028] Its characteristic is that it further includes:

[0029] The transport vehicle body 4 is located below the bridge frame 1. A storage rack 5 is fixedly installed at the top center of the transport vehicle body 4. A material bin 6 is placed inside the storage rack 5. A docking mechanism 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the robotic arm 3. The docking mechanism 7 includes a mounting base 8 fixedly installed on the ground. A fixing frame 9 is fixedly installed inside the mounting base 8. A drive motor 10 is fixedly installed inside the fixing frame 9. A mounting bracket 11 is provided above the drive motor 10. The mounting bracket 11 is fixedly installed inside the mounting base 8. A drive gear 12 is rotatably connected inside the mounting bracket 11.

[0030] Specifically, the docking mechanism 7 also includes a sliding arm 13 symmetrically slidably connected to the bottom of the mounting base 8. The end of the sliding arm 13 away from the mounting bracket 11 has a mounting groove 14. A top cover 15 is slidably connected in the mounting groove 14 of the sliding arm 13. An auxiliary spring 16 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the top cover 15, and the other end of the auxiliary spring 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding arm 13. Laser generating devices 18 are symmetrically fixedly installed at both ends inside the mounting base 8. A ground calibration point is provided below the laser generating device 18, and the ground calibration point is installed on the ground.

[0031] Specifically, the mounting base 8 has an inner bottom end with a clearance groove for the sliding arm 13 to slide, and one side of the sliding arm 13 has a transmission tooth that meshes with the drive gear 12. The two sliding arms 13 are arranged diagonally.

[0032] Specifically, the top of the top cover 15 is rounded to improve the smoothness of the compression fit with the mounting base 8. This allows the top cover 15 to be compressed against the mounting base 8 and retract into the sliding arm 13 under the pull of the sliding arm 13. Furthermore, the mounting base 8 has symmetrical compression grooves at both ends to compress and fit with the top cover 15.

[0033] Specifically, a placement groove 17 is provided in the center of the upper surface of the mounting base 8.

[0034] Specifically, the mounting base 8 has symmetrical clearance grooves at both ends that are press-fitted with the top cover 15.

[0035] In this embodiment, how to ensure the cleanliness of the output end of the laser generator 18 during the docking process is referred to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The specific implementation method is as follows: When electrolyte treatment is required, the trolley moving structure 2, together with the robotic arm 3, drives the hopper 6 to be transported to the top of the carrier body 4. Then, the docking mechanism 7, together with the ground calibration point on the ground, realizes the laser positioning of the position of the trolley moving structure 2, increases the connection between the hopper 6 and the carrier body 4 during the material unloading process, and further increases the convenience and docking accuracy of the device when in use.

[0036] In this embodiment, how to ensure the cleanliness of the laser generator 18 during operation is described in reference to... Figures 3 to 5The specific implementation method is as follows: When the material hopper 6 is being loaded and positioned, the drive motor 10 drives the drive gear 12 to rotate. As the drive gear 12 rotates, it drives the sliding arm 13 to move in opposite directions. During this movement, the top cover 15, which is slidably connected at its end, is pressed by the mounting base 8, causing the top cover 15 to slide into the mounting groove 14 at the end of the sliding arm 13. As the top cover 15 slides upward, the auxiliary spring 16 above it is compressed, causing the top cover 15 to completely enter the mounting groove 14. Therefore, the sliding arm 13 does not obstruct the movement of the sliding arm 13 in opposite directions. The sliding arm 13 moves normally, and as the sliding arm 13 moves, the space below the laser generator 18 is opened. Then, the position of the trolley moving structure 2 is docked through the laser generator 18 and the ground calibration point installed on the ground. After the docking is completed, the above steps are reversed once to shield the space at the bottom of the laser generator 18. This prevents objects from entering the output end of the laser generator 18 during daily operation, causing contamination of the output end and affecting subsequent docking work. In addition, it can keep the installation space of the laser generator 18 clean and facilitate subsequent maintenance and use.

[0037] It should be noted that a soft cleaning cotton can be installed on the top of the top cover 15 and mounted on the upper surface of the sliding arm 13. This allows the sliding arm 13 to wipe the output end of the laser generator 18 with the cleaning cotton mounted on its lower surface during movement, thus maintaining the cleanliness of the output end of the laser generator 18 and further improving the stability and smoothness of the device during operation.

[0038] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses; for parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

Furthermore, it is understood that the steps in the method of the present invention embodiments can be adjusted, combined, and deleted according to actual needs, and the structure in the device of the present invention embodiments can be combined, divided, and deleted according to actual needs.

[0039] The various embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
