Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a handling device, and more particularly to a self-balancing clamping and handling device for heavy-duty thermal insulation blocks. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the standard size of masonry blocks used in home construction is 60cm x 30cm x 30cm. To ensure a tight connection between adjacent blocks and smooth concrete pouring later, high assembly precision is required during construction. However, due to the large size and high density of these blocks, manual handling is inefficient and labor-intensive.

[0003] content

[0004] To address the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model provides a self-balancing clamping and handling device for heavy-duty insulation blocks, which facilitates the handling of insulation blocks and ensures that the insulation blocks can be stably moved to the required position, preventing damage to the insulation blocks during the movement.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a self-balancing clamping and handling device for heavy-duty thermal insulation blocks, including a base, a rotating platform, a boom, a controller, a transmission assembly, a wire rope, and a clamp. The boom is sequentially mounted on the rotating platform and the base. The transmission assembly is located inside the boom. The end of the wire rope is connected to the transmission assembly, and the front end of the wire rope is connected to the clamp.

[0006] The clamp includes a clamp body, a first gripper assembly, a second gripper assembly, and a tilt sensor. The first gripper assembly includes a first gripper, a first pressure sensor assembly distributed on the first gripper, and a first buffer pad covering the first pressure sensor assembly. The second gripper assembly includes a second gripper, a second pressure sensor assembly distributed on the second gripper, and a second buffer pad covering the second pressure sensor. The first pressure sensor assembly and the second pressure sensor assembly sense the clamping force when clamping the thermal insulation block. The tilt sensor senses the levelness of the clamp when it moves. The first pressure sensor assembly includes a plurality of first pressure sensors embedded in the surface of the first gripper, and the first buffer pad covers the surface of each first pressure sensor.

[0010] In one embodiment, the clamp further includes a first hydraulic rod and a second hydraulic rod, a first end of the first hydraulic rod being connected to the first gripper, a second end of the first hydraulic rod being connected to the clamp body, a first end of the second hydraulic rod being connected to the second gripper, and a second end of the second hydraulic rod being connected to the clamp body.

[0011] In one embodiment, the boom includes a first part and a second part, with a lifting assembly located inside the first part. The second part also includes a lifting cylinder connected to the controller, which drives the first part to move up and down along a longitudinal axis.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has one of the following advantages:

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a self-balancing clamping and handling device for heavy-duty thermal insulation blocks, including a base 1, a rotary table 5, a motor 3, a lifting cylinder 603, a boom 6, a controller 4, a transmission assembly 9, a wire rope 7, and a clamp 8.

[0021] Specifically, a recessed area 2 is formed on the bottom end face of the base 1, and the motor 3 is fixed inside the recessed area 2. A rotating platform 5 is disposed on the top end face of the base 1, and a support shaft is located at the center of the bottom of the rotating platform 5. The support shaft passes through the interior of the base 1 and connects to the output shaft of the motor 3, allowing the motor 3 to drive the rotating platform 5 to rotate on the top of the base 1 via the support shaft. The boom 6 includes a first part 601 and a second part 602, wherein the second part 602 is fixed to the top end face of the rotating platform 5. A lifting cylinder 603 is disposed inside the second part 602, and the bottom end of the first part 601 is fixedly connected to the top end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 603. A transmission assembly 9 is disposed inside the first part 601, and one end of the wire rope 7 is connected to the transmission assembly 9, and the other end is connected to the clamp 8. The controller 4 is fixed on the base 1 and is connected to the motor 3, the lifting cylinder 603 and the transmission assembly 9 respectively. The motor 3 enables the rotary table 5 and the boom 6 to rotate on the top surface of the base 1. The lifting cylinder 603 drives the first part 601 to move up and down along the longitudinal axis, so that the first part 601 can complete the lifting operation according to actual needs. The transmission assembly 9 enables the wire rope 7 to drive the boom 6 to complete the lifting operation.

[0022] Specifically, the clamp 8 includes a clamp body 801, a first gripper assembly, a second gripper assembly, and a tilt sensor 808 connected to the clamp body 801. Both the first and second gripper assemblies are connected to the clamp body 801 via rotating seats, allowing them to rotate. The clamp body 801 also includes a first hydraulic rod 10 and a second hydraulic rod 11. One end of the first hydraulic rod 10 is connected to the first gripper assembly, and the other end is connected to the clamp body 801. Similarly, one end of the first hydraulic rod 10 is connected to the second gripper assembly, and the other end is connected to the clamp body 801. The first and second hydraulic rods 10 and 11 enable the first and second gripper assemblies to clamp or release, thereby achieving the clamping operation of the insulation blocks.

[0023] By adding an angle sensor 808 connected to the controller 4 to the clamp body 801, and connecting the transmission component 9 to the angle sensor 808 via the wire rope 7, the horizontality of the clamp 8 can be monitored in real time when the clamp 8 is lifted by the wire rope 7 or the lifting cylinder 603, thus preventing damage to the insulation blocks.

[0024] Furthermore, the first gripper assembly includes a first gripper 802, a first pressure sensor assembly distributed on the first gripper 802, and a first buffer pad 804 covering the first pressure sensor assembly. The second gripper assembly includes a second gripper 805, a second pressure sensor assembly distributed on the second gripper 805, and a second buffer pad 807 covering the second pressure sensor assembly.

[0025] Furthermore, the first pressure sensor assembly includes a plurality of first pressure sensors 803 embedded in the surface of the first gripper 802, and a first buffer pad 804 covering the surface of each first pressure sensor 803. The second pressure sensor assembly includes a plurality of second pressure sensors 806 embedded in the surface of the second gripper 805, and a second buffer pad 807 covering the surface of each second pressure sensor 806. Each first pressure sensor 803 and each second pressure sensor 806 is connected to the controller 4. When the insulation block is clamped by the first gripper 802 and the second gripper 805, the contact between the insulation block and the corresponding first pressure sensor 803 and second pressure sensor 806 reflects the clamping force on the insulation block, preventing excessive clamping force from being applied and ensuring that the insulation block is not damaged by excessive clamping force.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art will understand that many changes, modifications, and even equivalents can be made within the spirit and scope defined by the claims of the present utility model, all of which will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
