Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of permeable brick processing technology, and in particular to a turning machine for permeable brick processing. Background Technology
[0002] Permeable bricks are green building materials made from environmentally friendly materials (such as cement, sand, and slag) through a high-pressure molding process. They are permeable and primarily used to alleviate urban flooding and improve the ecological environment. Permeable bricks are produced using a non-sintering or high-temperature firing process, achieving permeability by altering the surface tension of water. The entire brick is formed in a single compression molding process, without any layered structure. During the production and processing of permeable bricks, to meet the needs of subsequent processes (such as surface texture carving, edge grinding, creating planting holes, and double-sided quality inspection), it is often necessary to flip the permeable bricks.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional turning methods mostly rely on manual labor, that is, manually turning the permeable bricks on the conveyor belt one by one and then putting them back on the conveyor belt. However, the manual turning method has limited turning speed and low efficiency. Since the permeable bricks have a certain weight, the labor intensity is high, and long-term repetitive turning operations will increase the physical exertion of workers and easily lead to operational errors due to fatigue.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a turning machine for permeable brick processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The two clamping plates are respectively fixedly installed on the output shaft ends of the corresponding electric telescopic rods. The bottom of the two clamping plates extends outside the U-shaped frame.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric telescopic rod is used to control the horizontal linear movement of the clamping plate. Under the synergistic action of the two clamping plates, the permeable brick can be clamped and fixed.

[0014] A further feature of this application is that the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the frame are both smooth planar structures.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the smoothness of the U-shaped frame when vertically lifting and lowering into and out of the frame is improved.
[0016] A further provision of this application is that a bearing seat is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the vertical groove, and the bottom end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the bearing seat.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the lead screw during rotation is enhanced.

[0035] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] See Figures 1-5 This application provides a turning machine for processing permeable bricks, including a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 rotatably mounted inside the frame 1 for horizontally conveying permeable bricks, and a turning mechanism on the frame 1 for turning over the permeable bricks conveyed on the conveyor belt 2. The turning mechanism includes a column 3, a first motor 5, a lead screw 6, a lifting seat 7, a second motor 8, a U-shaped frame 9, and a clamping assembly. The column 3 is fixedly mounted on the rear outer wall of the frame 1, and a vertical groove 4 is opened on the front side of the column 3. The first motor 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the column 3, and the output shaft end of the first motor 5 extends into the vertical groove 4. The lead screw 6 is fixedly mounted on... At the output shaft end of motor 5, the lifting seat 7 is threaded onto the lead screw 6. Motor 8 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the lifting seat 7. The output shaft end of motor 8 extends to the outside of the vertical groove 4. The U-shaped frame 9 is fixedly installed at the output shaft end of motor 8 and located above the frame 1. Motor 5 is used to control the rotation of the lead screw 6. By utilizing the threaded connection between the lifting seat 7 and the lead screw 6, the lifting seat 7 can be controlled to rise or fall vertically. This allows motor 8, U-shaped frame 9, and clamping assembly to rise or fall synchronously with the lifting seat 7. Motor 8 is used to control the rotation of U-shaped frame 9, thereby realizing the flipping adjustment of the position of U-shaped frame 9.
[0037] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly is set on the U-shaped frame 9. The clamping assembly is used to clamp and fix the permeable brick. The clamping assembly includes two electric telescopic rods 10 and two clamping plates 11. The two electric telescopic rods 10 are respectively fixedly installed on the left and right outer walls of the U-shaped frame 9. Through holes are opened on both the left and right sides of the U-shaped frame 9. The output shaft ends of the two electric telescopic rods 10 pass through the corresponding through holes. The two clamping plates 11 are respectively fixedly installed on the output shaft ends of the corresponding electric telescopic rods 10. The bottom of the two clamping plates 11 extends to the outside of the U-shaped frame 9. The electric telescopic rods 10 are used to control the horizontal linear movement of the clamping plates 11. Under the cooperative action of the two clamping plates 11, the permeable brick can be clamped and fixed.
[0038] In this embodiment, anti-slip textures are provided on the side of the two clamping plates 11 that are close to each other. The anti-slip texture design can enhance the stability of clamping and fixing the permeable bricks.
[0039] In this embodiment, the rear outer wall of the U-shaped frame 9 is slidably fitted with the rear inner wall of the frame 1, and the front surfaces of the two clamping plates 11 are slidably fitted with the front inner wall of the frame 1, which can ensure that the permeable bricks can smoothly enter between the clamping plates 11 in the U-shaped frame 9.
[0040] In this embodiment, the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the frame 1 are both smooth flat structures, which improves the smoothness of the U-shaped frame 9 when it is vertically lifted and lowered into and out of the frame 1.
[0041] In this embodiment, a bearing seat 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the vertical groove 4, and the bottom end of the lead screw 6 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 12. The design of the bearing seat 12 enhances the stability of the lead screw 6 when it rotates.
[0042] In this embodiment, two vertical guide rods 13 are fixedly installed in the vertical groove 4, and the lead screw 6 is located between the two vertical guide rods 13. The lifting seat 7 is slidably sleeved on the two vertical guide rods 13. The design of the vertical guide rods 13 plays the role of guiding the movement direction of the lifting seat 7, which can ensure that the lifting seat 7 can smoothly lift vertically.
[0043] In this embodiment, a clearance opening 14 with an open top is provided on the rear side wall of the frame 1. The second motor 8 is located directly above the clearance opening 14. The diameter of the second motor 8 is smaller than the inner width of the clearance opening 14. The design of the clearance opening 14 can prevent the second motor 8 from colliding with the frame 1 during the lifting process, ensuring that the U-shaped frame 9 can smoothly enter and exit the frame 1.
[0044] In this embodiment, a controller 15 is fixedly installed on the left outer wall of the column 3. Motor 5, motor 8, and two electric telescopic rods 10 are all electrically connected to the controller 15. An ultrasonic sensor 16 is fixedly embedded on the front inner wall of the frame 1, located above the conveyor belt 2. The ultrasonic sensor 16 is located directly in front of the column 3 and is electrically connected to the controller 15. Both motor 5 and motor 8 are reversible motors. Motor 8 is adjusted by professional technicians so that its output shaft rotates 180 degrees for each forward and reverse rotation, thereby ensuring that motor 8 can drive the U-shaped... The frame 9 rotates 180 degrees. The ultrasonic sensor 16 is used to monitor in real time whether the permeable bricks on the conveyor belt 2 are directly in front of the column 3. When the ultrasonic sensor 16 detects that the permeable bricks have been conveyed to the front of the column 3, the ultrasonic sensor 16 transmits the detection signal to the controller 15. The controller 15 first issues a command to control the motor 5 to rotate forward, controlling the U-shaped frame 9 to descend until the two clamping plates 11 contact the surface of the conveyor belt 2. Then, it issues a command to control the two electric telescopic rods 10 to extend until the two clamping plates 11 firmly clamp and fix the permeable bricks. Finally, it issues a command to control the motor 5 to rotate in reverse, controlling the U-shaped frame 9 to rise back to the highest position. Then, a command is issued to control motor 28 to rotate forward once, driving the U-shaped frame 9 and the clamped permeable bricks to rotate 180 degrees clockwise (viewed from the front). Next, a command is issued to control motor 15 to rotate forward, lowering the U-shaped frame 9 and the clamped permeable bricks until the U-shaped frame 9 contacts the surface of the conveyor belt 2. Then, a command is issued to control the two electric telescopic rods 10 to retract and reset, releasing the clamping of the permeable bricks. The permeable bricks fall onto the conveyor belt 2 and continue to be conveyed forward. Finally, controller 15 issues a command to control motor 15 to reverse and to control motor 28 to reverse once, controlling the U-shaped frame 9 to rise back to its original position and rotate it 180 degrees counterclockwise. (Viewed from the front) Flipping back to its original position completes one flipping operation of the permeable brick. Following the above steps, the next permeable brick can be flipped. By flipping the permeable bricks one by one, subsequent processing such as texture carving, edge grinding, and creating planting holes on the surface of the permeable bricks can be carried out. It should be noted that the control method of motor 15, motor 28 and the two electric telescopic rods 10 is automatically controlled by controller 15. Controller 15 adopts a PLC controller. The control circuit of controller 15 can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail in this article.
[0045] Based on the above structure, the working principle of the turning machine for permeable brick processing provided in this application is as follows:
[0046] The permeable bricks are placed one by one on the conveyor belt 2 with intervals. The conveyor belt 2 can transport the permeable bricks horizontally in a straight line. When the permeable bricks are transported to the front of the column 3, the ultrasonic sensor 16 detects the object signal in real time and transmits the signal to the controller 15, which triggers the flipping process.
[0047] After receiving the signal from the ultrasonic sensor 16, the controller 15 first sends a command to control motor 5 to rotate forward, driving the lead screw 6 to rotate. Since the lifting seat 7 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 6, and under the guidance of the two vertical guide rods 13, the lifting seat 7 drives motor 8, U-shaped frame 9, and clamping assembly to descend vertically until the two clamping plates 11 contact the surface of the conveyor belt 2. At this time, the permeable brick is between the two clamping plates 11. Then, the controller 15 sends a command to control the two electric telescopic rods 10 to extend synchronously, pushing the two clamping plates 11 closer to each other. The two clamping plates 11 and the anti-slip texture can firmly clamp the permeable brick. After clamping the permeable brick, the controller 15 sends a command to control motor 5 to reverse, and the lead screw 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the lifting seat 7, motor 8, U-shaped frame 9, and clamped permeable brick to rise vertically to the highest position, leaving space for flipping. Then, the controller 15 sends a command to control motor 8 to rotate forward once, and its output shaft drives... The U-shaped frame 9 and the clamped permeable brick rotate 180° clockwise (viewed from the front), completing the flipping action of the permeable brick. Because motor 8 has been adjusted by professional technicians, it rotates precisely 180° each time it rotates forward or backward, ensuring accurate flipping angle. After the permeable brick is flipped, the controller 15 sends a command to control motor 5 to rotate forward, and the U-shaped frame 9 and the permeable brick descend to the surface of the conveyor belt 2. Then, it sends a command to control the two electric telescopic rods 10 to retract and reset, and the two clamps 11 release the permeable brick. The permeable brick falls onto the conveyor belt 2 and can continue to be conveyed forward. Finally, the controller 15 sends a command to control motor 5 to reverse, driving the U-shaped frame 9 to rise back to its original position, and sends a command to control motor 8 to reverse once, driving the U-shaped frame 9 to rotate 180° counterclockwise and reset, so that the entire flipping mechanism returns to its initial state. Then, it can wait for the next permeable brick to enter the detection area and repeat the above process, thereby achieving efficient and stable automated flipping operation of permeable bricks.
