Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refractory brick production technology, and in particular to a sorting device for refractory brick production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of refractory bricks, it is necessary to sort the formed refractory bricks to remove defective products with obvious defects such as breakage and cracks. Since the accuracy requirements for inspection are not high, manual visual inspection is often sufficient for this process. The refractory bricks are conveyed via a conveyor belt, and manual inspection is performed. However, the bottom of the refractory bricks is obstructed during conveying, making them invisible and leading to missed inspections. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a refractory brick sorting device that automatically flips the bricks for easy inspection and sorting, preventing missed inspections and overcoming the shortcomings of current applications to meet current needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sorting device for refractory brick production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A sorting device for refractory brick production includes a frame, a conveying mechanism, a detection station, and an automatic flipping mechanism. Two conveying mechanisms are installed within the frame to convey refractory bricks. An automatic flipping mechanism is installed between the two conveying mechanisms within the frame to flip the refractory bricks. Two detection stations are fixed on both sides of the frame, each facing one of the two conveying mechanisms. The automatic flipping mechanism includes a base plate, a pressure sensor, a detection plate, a fixing plate, an electric telescopic rod, a clamping plate, a support shaft, and a flipping mechanism. The pressure sensor is fixed on the base plate, and its detection head is fixed to the detection plate. The fixing plate is fixed to the base plate. The electric telescopic rod faces the fixing plate and is fixedly installed on the base plate. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixed to the clamping plate. A support shaft is fixed to the side of the base plate and rotatably connected to the frame. The flipping mechanism is installed on the frame and drives the support shaft and base plate to flip.

[0006] Preferably, the flipping mechanism includes a second motor, a first gear, and a second gear. The second motor is fixed to the outside of the frame, and the first gear is fixed on the output shaft of the second motor. A second gear meshing with the first gear is provided on one side of the first gear, and the second gear is fixed on the support shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes: a drive roller, a first motor, and a conveyor belt. There are two drive rollers rotatably connected inside the frame. The first motor is fixed to the outside of the frame. The output shaft of the first motor is fixed to one drive roller via a coupling. The two drive rollers are connected by a conveyor belt.

[0008] Preferably, a PLC controller is fixed to the side of the frame, and the first motor, pressure sensor, electric telescopic rod and second motor are electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In use, this refractory brick sorting device has two workers standing at two inspection stations to visually sort the bricks. The refractory bricks are placed on the conveyor mechanism from the right end of the frame and transported to the left. The first worker visually inspects the surface of the refractory bricks; if there are obvious breaks or cracks, they are manually removed. When the refractory bricks are transported to the automatic flipping mechanism, they fall onto the base plate due to inertia, and their heads hit the inspection plate. The pressure sensor receives the detection signal and sends it to the PLC controller. Then, the PLC controller controls the electric telescopic rod to drive the clamping plate to clamp the refractory bricks onto the fixed plate. Next, the flipping mechanism drives the base plate to flip half a turn, causing the refractory bricks to fall onto another conveying mechanism. Then, the electric telescopic rod drives the clamping plate to release the refractory bricks, which are then transported away by the conveying mechanism. The flipping mechanism drives the base plate to rotate half a turn back to its original position for the next use. This process is repeated to automatically flip multiple refractory bricks. The next worker then inspects the refractory bricks again to ensure more accurate sorting and prevent missed inspections. In summary, this invention facilitates the automatic flipping of refractory bricks, allowing for thorough human observation and sorting, and preventing missed inspections.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0019] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0020] See Figures 1-6 In this embodiment of the invention, a sorting device for refractory brick production includes a frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2, a testing station 3, and an automatic turning mechanism 4. Two conveying mechanisms 2 are installed within the frame 1. The conveying mechanisms 2 are used to convey refractory bricks. An automatic turning mechanism 4 is installed between the two conveying mechanisms 2 within the frame 1. The automatic turning mechanism 4 is used to turn the refractory bricks. Two testing stations 3 are fixed on both sides of the frame 1, with each testing station facing one of the two conveying mechanisms 2. A worker stands at the testing station. When in use, two workers stand on the ground at the two inspection stations 3 respectively. The refractory bricks are placed on the conveyor mechanism 2 from the right end of the frame 1 and conveyed to the left. The first worker performs a visual inspection of the refractory bricks. If there are obvious breaks or cracks, the bricks are removed manually. When the refractory bricks are conveyed to the automatic flipping mechanism 4, the automatic flipping mechanism 4 flips the refractory bricks and places them on the next conveyor mechanism 2. The next worker then performs another inspection on the refractory bricks to make the sorting more accurate and prevent missed inspections.

[0021] The conveying mechanism 2 includes: a drive roller 201, a first motor 202, and a conveyor belt 203. There are two drive rollers 201, which are rotatably connected inside the frame 1. The first motor 202 is fixed to the outside of the frame 1. The output shaft of the first motor 202 is fixed to one drive roller 201 through a coupling. The two drive rollers 201 are connected by the conveyor belt 203. In use, the first motor 202 drives the drive rollers 201 and the conveyor belt 203 to rotate, and the refractory bricks are conveyed by the conveyor belt 203.

[0022] The automatic flipping mechanism 4 includes: a base plate 401, a pressure sensor 402, a detection plate 403, a fixing plate 404, an electric telescopic rod 405, a clamping plate 406, a support shaft 407, and a flipping mechanism 408. The pressure sensor 402 is fixed on the base plate 401, and the detection head of the pressure sensor 402 is fixed to the detection plate 403. The fixing plate 404 is fixed to the base plate 401, and the electric telescopic rod 405 faces the fixing plate 404 and is fixedly installed on the base plate 401. The telescopic end of the movable telescopic rod 405 is fixed to the clamping plate 406. A support shaft 407 is fixed to the side of the base plate 401. The support shaft 407 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. The flipping mechanism 408 is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to drive the support shaft 407 and the base plate 401 to flip. The flipping mechanism 408 includes: a second motor 4081, a first gear 4082, and a second gear 4083. The second motor 4081 is fixed to the outside of the frame 1. The output shaft of the second motor 4081 is fixed with... A first gear 4082 is fixed, and a second gear 4083 meshing with it is provided on one side of the first gear 4082. The second gear 4083 is fixed on the support shaft 407. In use, the first gear 4082 and the second gear 4083 are driven to rotate by the second motor 4081. The second gear 4083 drives the support shaft 407 and the base plate 401 to rotate. When the refractory bricks on the conveyor belt 203 fall onto the base plate 401 due to inertia, their heads hit the detection plate 403, and the pressure sensor 4... 02. After obtaining the detection signal, the electric telescopic rod 405 drives the clamping plate 406 to clamp the refractory brick onto the fixed plate 404. Then, the flipping mechanism 408 drives the base plate 401 to flip half a turn, so that the refractory brick falls onto another conveying mechanism 2. Then, the electric telescopic rod 405 drives the clamping plate 406 to release the refractory brick, and the refractory brick is conveyed away by the conveying mechanism 2. The flipping mechanism 408 drives the base plate 401 to rotate half a turn back to its original position for the next use. This process is repeated to achieve automatic flipping of multiple refractory bricks.

[0023] A PLC controller 5 is fixed to the side of the frame 1. The first motor 202, pressure sensor 402, electric telescopic rod 405 and second motor 4081 are electrically connected to the PLC controller 5 for control.

[0024] Working Principle: This refractory brick sorting device operates by two workers at two separate inspection stations (3). Refractory bricks are placed from the right end of the frame (1) onto the conveyor mechanism (2) and transported to the left. The first worker visually inspects the surface of each brick; if any are visibly broken or cracked, they are manually removed. Once the bricks reach the automatic flipping mechanism (4), they fall onto the base plate (401) due to inertia, with their heads hitting the inspection plate (403). The pressure sensor (402) receives the detection signal and transmits it to the PLC controller (5). Then, the PLC controller (5)... The electric telescopic rod 405 drives the clamping plate 406 to clamp the refractory bricks onto the fixed plate 404. Then, the flipping mechanism 408 drives the base plate 401 to flip half a turn, so that the refractory bricks fall onto another conveying mechanism 2. Then, the electric telescopic rod 405 drives the clamping plate 406 to release the refractory bricks, and the refractory bricks are conveyed away by the conveying mechanism 2. The flipping mechanism 408 drives the base plate 401 to rotate half a turn back to its original position for the next use. This process is repeated to achieve automatic flipping of multiple refractory bricks. The next worker then checks the refractory bricks again to make the sorting more accurate and prevent missed inspections.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
