Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial robot technology, specifically to a gravity casting unit for a ground-rail robot. Background Technology
[0002] During gravity casting, molten aluminum needs to be transferred from the crucible furnace to the mold in the gravity casting machine. The molten aluminum then sets within the gravity casting machine. Currently, this is done using a robotic arm for each gravity casting machine. After the robotic arm scoops the molten aluminum into the gravity casting machine, it needs to wait for the machine to complete its current task before continuing. This results in significant waiting time for the robotic arm, leading to low efficiency.

The casting robot 2 itself consists of a sliding base and a robotic arm. Its structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail. A servo motor controls the movement of the casting robot 2 on the robot track 1, enabling its robotic arm to scoop molten aluminum from the crucible furnace into the molds of the corresponding gravity casting machines 3.
[0018] It should be noted that there are three to four gravity casting machines 3 in a row, and the gravity casting machines 3 are arranged at equal intervals to achieve the best working efficiency and ensure that the temperature remains above the standard line when the molten aluminum is added to the gravity casting machine 3 furthest from the crucible furnace 4.
