Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of construction robot technology, specifically to a brick feeding device and a tile laying robot having the same. Background Technology

[0002] For aesthetic and cleaning convenience, more and more buildings are tiling their interior and exterior walls. To address the problems of low efficiency and inconsistent quality associated with traditional manual tile laying, tile-laying robots have emerged in the construction industry in recent years to replace manual tile laying.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN219011839U discloses a brick feeding device and a tile laying robot, comprising: at least one hopper, each hopper including a lower plate, a side plate, and multiple partition plates, one end of the side plate being perpendicularly connected to one end of the lower plate; each partition plate having a right angle, one right-angled side being perpendicularly connected to the lower plate and the other right-angled side being perpendicularly connected to the side plate; a cavity is formed between adjacent partition plates for accommodating the tiles to be laid. The brick feeding device provided by this invention occupies little space and is less likely to scratch the tiles.

[0004] However, in the above technical solution, the hopper is formed by splicing together a bottom plate, side plates and multiple partition plates to store the tiles. However, tiles of different sizes will have different thicknesses. When the gaps in the hopper cannot be adjusted, the tiles will scrape against each other and tilt when facing thicker and thinner tiles, which will affect the quality of the stored tiles. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a brick feeding device and a tile laying robot having the same.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A brick feeding device includes two storage bins arranged in parallel. A support plate is slidably connected to the bottom of each storage bin. Each storage bin consists of a frame and several partitions, with the partitions installed within the frame. A clamping assembly is connected to the storage bins and includes a first telescopic device, a mounting frame, an adjusting plate, and connecting pieces. The first telescopic device is connected to the frame, and its telescopic end is connected to the mounting frame. The vertically parallel adjusting plate is connected to the mounting frame, and the adjusting plate has fan-shaped adjusting grooves. The number of connecting pieces corresponds to the number of partitions. One end of each connecting piece is connected to a partition, and the other end is slidably connected within the adjusting groove. In use, the telescopic end of the first telescopic device moves the mounting frame and adjusting plate vertically, and the connecting pieces slide within the adjusting grooves to adjust the distance between the partitions.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping assembly also includes

[0008] The second telescopic device is connected to the support plate. The telescopic end of the second telescopic device is connected to a connecting block, which passes through the support plate and connects to any storage compartment.

[0009] A synchronization component is installed between two storage compartments; when the synchronization component is in use, the storage compartments will generate horizontal displacement when the moving ends of the synchronization component move synchronously towards each other.

[0010] Preferably, the synchronization component includes two racks symmetrically arranged and connected to opposite sides of two storage compartments; and multiple gears arranged in parallel, each gear having a support shaft connected to it, the support shaft being rotatably connected to a support plate.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the storage compartment is connected to multiple sliding blocks, and the sliding blocks are slidably connected to two parallel sliding rods, with both ends of the sliding rods connected to protrusions on the support plate.

[0012] Preferably, rubber pads are adhered to both sides of the partition.

[0013] Preferably, the partition consists of a fixed frame and a movable plate. The fixed frame is connected to a connector, and a dovetail groove is provided on the fixed frame. A dovetail block that mates with the dovetail groove is connected to the movable plate.

[0014] Preferably, the connector includes a connecting rod and a limiting block. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the fixed frame, and the other end of the connecting rod passes through the adjusting groove and is threaded to the limiting block.

[0015] The tile laying robot includes the aforementioned tile feeding device.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] In this invention, two storage bins for storing tiles are provided. The storage bins can move synchronously in opposite directions through the connection of a synchronization component. During operation, one storage bin is loading while the other is unloading, reducing downtime. At the same time, the adjustable plate can adjust the spacing between the connecting parts through its own fan-shaped or radial adjustment grooves, thereby changing the spacing between the partitions 4 to accommodate tiles of different sizes and thicknesses, avoiding problems such as tilted storage of tiles and scratches on the tile surface due to unsuitable gap size.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the brick feeding device proposed in this utility model includes a storage bin 1, a support plate 2, and a clamping assembly. There are two storage bins 1 arranged in parallel. The support plate 2 is slidably connected to the bottom of the storage bin 1. The storage bin 1 is composed of a frame 3 and several partitions 4. The partitions 4 are installed inside the frame 3.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the partition 4 is composed of a fixed frame 18 and a movable plate 19. The fixed frame 18 is connected to the connector 8. A dovetail groove is provided on the fixed frame 18. A dovetail block that mates with the dovetail groove is connected to the movable plate 19. The dovetail groove and the dovetail block can make the movable plate 19 quick to be disassembled and replaced with movable plates 19 of different thicknesses.

[0027] The clamping assembly is connected to the storage compartment 1. The clamping assembly includes a first telescopic device 5, a mounting frame 6, an adjusting plate 7, and connecting parts 8. The first telescopic device 5 is connected to the frame 3. The first telescopic device 5 is selected from, but is not limited to, an electric push rod. The telescopic end of the first telescopic device 5 is connected to the mounting frame 6. The adjusting plate 7, which is arranged vertically and horizontally, is connected to the mounting frame 6. The adjusting plate 7 has fan-shaped adjusting grooves 9. The number of connecting parts 8 corresponds to the number of partitions 4. One end of the connecting part 8 is connected to the partition 4, and the other end of the connecting part 8 is slidably connected in the adjusting groove 9. When the clamping assembly is in use, the telescopic end of the first telescopic device 5 drives the mounting frame 6 and the adjusting plate 7 to move up and down. The connecting parts 8 slide in the adjusting groove 9 to adjust the distance between the partitions 4.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] like Figures 2-5As shown, the brick feeding device and tile laying robot of this utility model, compared with Embodiment 1, describe the detailed structure of the clamping assembly in this embodiment. The clamping assembly also includes a second telescopic device 10, a connecting block 11 and a synchronization component. The second telescopic device 10 is connected to the support plate 2, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic device 10 is connected to the connecting block 11. The connecting block 11 passes through the support plate 2 and is connected to any one of the storage bins 1. The second telescopic device 10 is selected from, but is not limited to, an electric push rod. The synchronization component is set between the two storage bins 1. When the moving ends of the synchronization component move synchronously towards each other in the state of use, the storage bins 1 generate horizontal displacement.

[0030] The synchronization assembly includes rack 12, gear 13 and support shaft 14. There are two racks 12 symmetrically arranged and connected to the opposite side of the two storage compartments 1. There are multiple gears 13 arranged in parallel and each gear 13 is connected to a support shaft 14. The support shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the support plate 2 bearing.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the storage compartment 1 is connected to a plurality of sliding blocks 15, and the sliding blocks 15 are slidably connected to two parallel sliding rods 16, the two ends of which are connected to protrusions on the support plate 2.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, rubber pads 17 are adhered to both sides of the partition 4; the rubber pads 17 provide cushioning for the contact between the partition 4 and the tile to prevent scratches on the tile.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the connector 8 includes a connecting rod 20 and a limiting block 21. One end of the connecting rod 20 is connected to the fixed frame 18, and the other end of the connecting rod 20 passes through the adjusting groove 9 and is threaded to the limiting block 21. The threaded connection between the limiting block 21 and the connecting rod 20 facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the partition 4.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the brick feeding device and the tile laying robot having the present invention include the brick feeding device in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

[0036] In summary, when this utility model is in use, in the initial state, the two storage compartments 1 are arranged in parallel above the support plate 2. During use, after the second telescopic device 10 is activated, its output end extends or retracts, driving one storage compartment 1 to move via the connecting block 11. The sliding block 15 at the bottom of storage compartment 1 slides along the sliding rod 16. Simultaneously, the rack 12 on the side wall of storage compartment 1 also moves synchronously. The rack 12 meshes with multiple gears 13. When the gears 13 rotate, they drive the rack 12 on the other storage compartment 1 to move horizontally, thus causing the other storage compartment 1 to move synchronously. The two storage compartments 1 move horizontally towards each other synchronously, allowing the two storage compartments to move in tandem. 1. There is always one tile-laying robot close to the other, while the other is above the support plate 2. The tile can be placed into the clamping space formed by the partition 4 by the personnel. At this time, the spacing of the clamping space is greater than the spacing of the partition 4. After the placement is completed, the first telescopic device 5 is activated. The telescopic end of the first telescopic device 5 drives the mounting frame 6 and the adjusting plate 7 to move vertically, so that the connecting piece 8 on the partition 4 is restricted by the adjusting groove 9, thereby making the partition 4 move horizontally synchronously, adjusting the spacing between each partition 4, so as to clamp and fix the tile and keep it in a good state, preventing the tile from tilting and causing uneven force during storage, resulting in deformation and cracks at the edges.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
