Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of building material production equipment, and specifically relates to a blank feeding device for sintering masonry blocks. Background Technology

[0002] On the automated sintering production line for block bricks, the formed wet brick blanks (rough blanks) need to undergo a high-precision positioning, low-damage transfer, and standardized stacking process from the forming station to the kiln car / kiln track. This complex and demanding material handling task is mainly undertaken by the blank feeding device, whose performance directly determines the efficiency of the pre-sintering process and the quality of the finished product.

[0003] The current mainstream billet feeding device adopts a gantry structure. Its main body is a rigid gantry that spans the kiln car track. A large carriage (X-axis) that can move along its length is installed on the crossbeam of the gantry. A small carriage (Y-axis) that can move laterally is further mounted on the large carriage. The lifting billet picking head (Z-axis) that performs the gripping action is installed on the small carriage and is usually equipped with mechanical grippers to achieve the gripping of billets.

[0004] To ensure that wet brick blanks do not fall off during transportation, mechanical grippers need to apply sufficient clamping force to overcome gravity and motion inertia; however, unsintered wet brick blanks are soft, and excessive clamping force will directly cause indentations, local deformation, or even cracks on the surface of the brick blanks, seriously affecting the appearance quality of the finished product. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problem that blanks are prone to indentation on their surface due to the large clamping force of mechanical grippers, this utility model proposes a blank feeding device for sintering brick blocks to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is a blank feeding device for sintering brick blocks, including a support frame, a guide rail assembly is provided inside the support frame, a lifting adsorption assembly is provided at the moving end of the guide rail assembly, a rotating support assembly is provided at the adsorption end of the lifting adsorption assembly, and an elastic connection assembly is provided between the rotating end of the rotating support assembly and the adsorption end of the lifting adsorption assembly.

[0008] The guide rail assembly is used to drive the lifting adsorption assembly to adjust its position so that the adsorption end of the lifting adsorption assembly adsorbs the blank. The rotating support assembly is used to drive the adsorption end to rotate so that the support end of the rotating support assembly supports the blank.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide rail assembly includes a longitudinal guide rail, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame. A transverse guide rail is provided on one side of the longitudinal guide rail, and a movable frame is provided on one side of the transverse guide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting and adsorption assembly includes a lifting hydraulic cylinder, which is fixedly installed on the top of the mobile frame. The lifting end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is provided with a vacuum suction cup. A vacuum pump is fixedly installed on the top of the mobile frame, and a threaded tube is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum suction cup.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating support assembly includes a rotating seat, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the rotating seat, and a rotating plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft. A vacuum suction cup is disposed at the bottom of the rotating plate, and several support limit frames are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the vacuum suction cup. A drive motor is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating seat, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic connection assembly includes a socket frame, which is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum suction cup and sleeved on the outside of the rotating plate. A connection groove is provided on one side of the socket frame, which penetrates the rotating plate, and an L-shaped connection plate is movably connected inside the connection groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a storage groove is provided on one side of the rotating plate, and a storage cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating plate corresponding to the storage groove. A connecting plate is movably connected inside the storage cylinder, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate. The connecting rod passes through the rotating plate and is fixedly connected to the L-shaped connecting plate. A spring is fixedly connected between one side of the connecting plate and the inner wall of the storage groove, and a handle is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped connecting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom end of the support frame is fixedly connected with several casters.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention uses a lifting adsorption component to adsorb the blank, and then the rotating end of the rotating support component drives the blank to rotate through the adsorption end, thereby supporting the blank with the supporting end of the rotating support component. In the above configuration, since the rotating support component can support the blank, the lifting adsorption component does not need to adsorb the blank with a large adsorption force, thus avoiding the risk of indentation, local deformation or even cracking on the blank surface. At the same time, in conjunction with the lifting adsorption component, it further improves the overall stability of the blank during the transfer process.

[0017] This invention allows the L-shaped connecting plate to be pulled by a handle. At this time, the L-shaped connecting plate compresses the spring through the connecting rod and the connecting plate, so that the connecting rod can move continuously inside the storage cylinder and the storage slot. At the same time, the L-shaped connecting plate moves out from inside the connecting slot and contacts the limiting position of the socket frame. The above configuration makes it convenient to operate by simply pulling the handle when changing vacuum suction cups of different specifications.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a blank feeding device for sintering brick blocks, including a support frame 1. The support frame 1 is provided with a guide rail assembly 2 inside. The moving end of the guide rail assembly 2 is provided with a lifting adsorption assembly 3. The adsorption end of the lifting adsorption assembly 3 is provided with a rotating support assembly 4. An elastic connection assembly 5 is provided between the rotating end of the rotating support assembly 4 and the adsorption end of the lifting adsorption assembly 3.

[0031] The guide rail assembly 2 is used to drive the lifting adsorption assembly 3 to adjust its position so that the adsorption end of the lifting adsorption assembly 3 adsorbs the blank. The rotating support assembly 4 is used to drive the adsorption end to rotate so that the support end of the rotating support assembly 4 supports the blank.

[0032] The support frame 1 is installed on the kiln track. When the blank is fed, the guide rail assembly 2 moves the lifting adsorption assembly 3 to the corresponding position. At this time, the lifting end of the lifting adsorption assembly 3 drives the adsorption end to move downward, so that the adsorption end can adsorb the blank. Then, the rotating end of the rotating support assembly 4 drives the adsorption end to rotate, so that the support end can support the blank at the adsorption end.

[0033] After the blank is adsorbed by the lifting adsorption component 3, the rotating end of the rotating support component 4 drives the blank to rotate through the adsorption end, thereby supporting the blank by the supporting end of the rotating support component 4. In the above configuration, since the rotating support component 4 can support the blank, the lifting adsorption component 3 does not need to adsorb the blank with a large adsorption force, thus avoiding the risk of indentation, local deformation or even cracking on the blank surface. At the same time, in conjunction with the lifting adsorption component 3, it further improves the overall stability of the blank during the transfer process.

[0034] In one embodiment, the guide rail assembly 2 includes a longitudinal guide rail 201, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 1. A transverse guide rail 202 is provided on one side of the longitudinal guide rail 201, and a movable frame 203 is provided on one side of the transverse guide rail 202.

[0035] Guided by the longitudinal guide rail 201, the transverse guide rail 202 can move longitudinally inside the support frame 1, while guided by the transverse guide rail 202, the moving frame 203 can move laterally inside the support frame 1. With the assistance of the longitudinal guide rail 201 and the transverse guide rail 202, the moving frame 203 can move arbitrarily inside the support frame 1, thereby ensuring the effect when transferring and stacking the blanks.

[0036] In one embodiment, the lifting adsorption assembly 3 includes a lifting hydraulic cylinder 301, which is fixedly installed on the top of the movable frame 203. A vacuum suction cup 302 is provided at the lifting end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 301. A vacuum pump 303 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable frame 203. A threaded tube 304 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum suction cup 302.

[0037] A pipe connects the vacuum pump 303 to the threaded pipe 304. When the moving frame 203 moves the lifting hydraulic cylinder 301 to the predetermined position, the lifting hydraulic cylinder 301 moves the vacuum suction cup 302 downward, so that the vacuum suction cup 302 contacts the top of the blank. At this time, the vacuum pump 303 extracts the air inside the vacuum suction cup 302 through the pipe, so that the vacuum suction cup 302 generates negative pressure and adsorbs the blank. The above settings make it difficult for the blank to shake when the vacuum suction cup 302 rotates.

[0038] In one embodiment, the rotary support assembly 4 includes a rotating seat 401, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 301. A rotating shaft 402 is rotatably connected inside the rotating seat 401, and a rotating plate 403 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 402. A vacuum suction cup 302 is disposed at the bottom of the rotating plate 403, and a plurality of support limit frames 404 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the vacuum suction cup 302. A drive motor 405 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating seat 401, and the output end of the drive motor 405 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 402.

[0039] After the vacuum suction cup 302 moves to the top of the blank, several support and limiting frames 404 directly contact the outer side of the blank. After the vacuum suction cup 302 completes the adsorption of the blank, the drive motor 405 drives the rotating plate 403 to rotate through the rotating shaft 402. The rotating plate 403 drives the blank to rotate through the vacuum suction cup 302. After the rotating plate 403 rotates 90°, the support and limiting frames 404 can support the blank.

[0040] In one embodiment, the elastic connection component 5 includes a sleeve frame 501, which is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum suction cup 302. The sleeve frame 501 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating plate 403. A connecting groove 502 is provided on one side of the sleeve frame 501, which penetrates the rotating plate 403. An L-shaped connecting plate 503 is movably connected inside the connecting groove 502.

[0041] When installing the vacuum suction cup 302, the socket frame 501 is moved directly to the outside of the rotating plate 403. When the socket frame 501 cannot be moved, it means that the connecting groove 502 on the socket frame 501 and the rotating plate 403 are aligned with each other. At this time, the L-shaped connecting plate 503 is pushed so that the L-shaped connecting plate 503 can move directly into the inside of the connecting groove 502. Under the restriction of the L-shaped connecting plate 503, the socket frame 501 and the rotating plate 403 will not separate. The socket frame 501 is designed so that the connecting groove 502 on the socket frame 501 and the rotating plate 403 can be quickly aligned, making it more convenient to connect the two together through the L-shaped connecting plate 503.

[0042] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned rotating plate 403, a storage groove 504 is provided on one side of the rotating plate 403, and a storage cylinder 505 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating plate 403 corresponding to the storage groove 504. A connecting plate 506 is movably connected inside the storage cylinder 505, and a connecting rod 507 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 506. The connecting rod 507 passes through the rotating plate 403 and is fixedly connected to the L-shaped connecting plate 503. A spring 508 is fixedly connected between one side of the connecting plate 506 and the inner wall of the storage groove 504, and a handle 509 is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped connecting plate 503.

[0043] Pulling the L-shaped connecting plate 503 via the handle 509 causes the L-shaped connecting plate 503 to compress the spring 508 via the connecting rod 507 and the connecting plate 506. Simultaneously, the L-shaped connecting plate 503 continuously moves out of the connecting groove 502. In this configuration, the spring 508 can pull the L-shaped connecting plate 503 via the connecting plate 506 and the connecting rod 507, thereby improving the stability of the L-shaped connecting plate 503 when limiting the socket frame 501 via the connecting groove 502. Furthermore, when limiting the socket frame 501, simply pulling the L-shaped connecting plate 503 via the handle 509 is sufficient for convenient operation.

[0044] In one embodiment, the support frame 1 is fixedly connected to a number of casters 6 at its bottom end.

[0045] The support frame 1 can be moved by the casters 6. The casters 6 allow the device to be adjusted in position according to production needs, thereby further improving the applicability of the device.

[0046] Through the above technical solution, 1. After the lifting adsorption component 3 completes the adsorption of the blank, the rotating end of the rotating support component 4 drives the blank to rotate through the adsorption end, thereby enabling the support end of the rotating support component 4 to support the blank; in the above setting, since the rotating support component 4 can support the blank, the lifting adsorption component 3 does not need to adsorb the blank with a large adsorption force, thus avoiding the risk of indentation, local deformation or even cracking on the surface of the blank. At the same time, in conjunction with the lifting adsorption component 3, it further improves the overall stability of the blank during the transfer process. Qualitative analysis; 2. By pulling the L-shaped connecting plate 503 through the handle 509, the L-shaped connecting plate 503 compresses the spring 508 through the connecting rod 507 and the connecting plate 506, so that the connecting rod 507 can move continuously inside the storage cylinder 505 and the storage slot 504. At the same time, the L-shaped connecting plate 503 moves continuously out from inside the connecting slot 502 and contacts the limiting position of the socket frame 501. The above settings make it convenient to operate by simply pulling the handle 509 when changing vacuum suction cups 302 of different specifications.
