Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicon carbide hot pressing sintering technology, specifically to a conveying mechanism for a sintering press. Background Technology

[0002] On existing automated production lines for sintering presses, products from belt conveyor modules are typically fed sequentially to the preheating module, then to the pressurizing module, and finally to the cooling module, before being unloaded by the conveyor module. Existing handling devices often rely on long-stroke linear motion units for gripping and position switching, resulting in large device size, long horizontal travel distance, long movement time, and large space occupation. This reduces the feeding cycle time and is not conducive to integrating equipment in a compact production layout. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conveying mechanism for a sintering press. By setting up a material-picking module and cooperating with a transport module, the two parallel rotating plates (rotating main plate and rotating auxiliary plate) in the material-picking module can drive the connecting plate to remain horizontal when rotating under control. This enables the horizontal extension and retraction of the gripper, which generates a partial horizontal displacement, replacing the corresponding linear stroke, shortening the horizontal movement distance, reducing the space occupied by the device, and improving the conveying cycle time. This solves the problem of large size and low motion efficiency caused by long-stroke linear movement in existing devices.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a conveying mechanism for a sintering press, comprising:

[0005] The material handling module includes:

[0006] Fixture;

[0021] A horizontal support frame is disposed above the first drive motor, and a connecting piece is provided between it and the first transmission belt;

[0022] The first horizontal slide rail, on which the horizontal support frame is slidably limited.

[0023] Optionally, the second horizontal moving component is disposed on the horizontal support frame, and the second horizontal moving component includes:

[0024] A second drive motor is located at the bottom of the horizontal support frame, and a second drive pulley is provided at the movable end of the second drive motor.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A preferred embodiment of this application shows a conveying mechanism for a sintering press, comprising a material handling module 1 and a transport module 2. The material handling module 1 includes a fixed frame 11, a rotating main plate 12, a rotating secondary plate 13, a connecting plate 14, and grippers 15. One end of the rotating main plate 12 is hinged to the fixed frame 11 and can be rotated in a controlled manner. The rotating secondary plate 13 is disposed below the rotating main plate 12 and parallel to it, with one end hinged to the fixed frame 11. The connecting plate 14 is horizontally disposed and hinged to the other ends of the rotating main plate 12 and the rotating secondary plate 13. The grippers 15 are disposed at the bottom of the connecting plate 14 and are used to grip products on a belt conveyor module 3. The transport module 2 includes a vertical moving component 21, a first horizontal moving component 22, and a second horizontal moving component 23. The vertical moving component 21 drives the material handling module 1 to reciprocate in a vertical direction, and the first horizontal moving component 22 drives the material handling module 1 to reciprocate in a first horizontal direction. The second horizontal moving component 23 is used to drive the material picking module 1 to reciprocate along a second horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.

[0044] According to the embodiment of this utility model, by setting up a material picking module 1 and cooperating with a transport module 2, the two parallel rotating plates (rotating main plate 12 and rotating secondary plate 13) in the material picking module 1 drive the connecting plate 14 to always remain horizontal when rotating under control, thereby realizing the horizontal extension and retraction of the gripper 15. This extension and retraction can generate part of the horizontal displacement, replace the corresponding linear stroke, shorten the horizontal movement distance, reduce the space occupied by the device and improve the transport cycle, thereby solving the problem of large size and low motion efficiency caused by long-stroke linear movement in existing devices.

[0045] The following detailed description uses specific examples:

[0046] In this embodiment, a set of material handling module 1 and a set of transport module 2 are respectively provided at the product loading and unloading points.

[0047] Please see Figure 2 The material handling module 1 also includes a rotary motor 16, which is located on the side of the fixed frame 11. The movable end of the rotary motor 16 passes through the side plate of the fixed frame 11 and is connected to one end of the rotary main board 12, thereby driving the rotary main board 12 to rotate. The rotary motor 16 provides a direct and controllable driving force to the rotary main board 12, so that the rotation of the material handling module 1 can be driven and controlled, thereby ensuring that the rotary main board 12 moves at a predetermined angle to achieve the repeatability and reliability of the horizontal extension and retraction of the gripper 15 and the picking and placing actions.

[0048] Please see Figure 2The first horizontal moving assembly 22 includes a first drive motor 211, a first transmission pulley 212, a first transmission belt 213, a horizontal support frame 214, and a first horizontal slide rail 215. The first drive motor 211 has a first drive pulley 216 sleeved on its movable end, and the first transmission belt 213 is sleeved between the first drive pulley 216 and the first transmission pulley 212. The horizontal support frame 214 is positioned above the first drive motor 211 and has a connecting member 217 between it and the first transmission belt 213. The horizontal support frame 214 is slidably limited on the first horizontal slide rail 215. This configuration ensures smooth transmission, a compact structure, and reliable support during reciprocating motion in the first horizontal direction, facilitating precise reciprocating positioning of the material handling module 1 in the first horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the first horizontal direction is perpendicular to the extension / retraction direction of the material handling module 1.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 The second horizontal moving component 23 is mounted on the horizontal support frame 214. The second horizontal moving component 23 includes a second drive motor 221, a first transmission screw 222, a second transmission belt 223, and a second horizontal slide rail 224. The second drive motor 221 is located at the bottom of the horizontal support frame 214, and a second drive pulley 225 is mounted on its movable end. The first transmission screw 222 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the horizontal support frame 214, and a second transmission pulley 226 is mounted on its end. The second transmission belt 223 is fitted between the second drive pulley 225 and the second transmission pulley 226. A vertical support frame is mounted on the upper part of the horizontal support frame 214, and a horizontal slide table 227 threadedly connected to the first transmission screw 222 is mounted at the bottom of the vertical support frame. The second horizontal slide rail 224 is located on both sides of the upper part of the horizontal support frame 214, and the horizontal slide table 227 is slidably limited on the second horizontal slide rail 224. The movement in the second horizontal direction is achieved through a combined transmission of the first transmission screw 222 and the second transmission belt 223 on the horizontal support frame 214, along with the guide of the slide table. This facilitates the integration of the second horizontal motion unit on the horizontal support frame 214 to save space, while also achieving orthogonal positioning and reliable guidance with the first horizontal movement. In this embodiment, the second horizontal movement component 23 can move synchronously with the material handling module 1, so that the gripper 15 moves horizontally in the same direction while moving along the second horizontal direction, thereby improving handling efficiency and shortening handling time.

[0050] Please see Figure 2The vertical moving assembly 21 is mounted on a vertical support frame and includes a third drive motor 231, a second transmission screw 232, a third transmission belt 233, a vertical slide 234, and a vertical slide rail 235. The third drive motor 231 is located on the side of the vertical support frame opposite to the material handling module 1, and a third drive pulley 236 is mounted on its movable end. The second transmission screw 232 is rotatably mounted on the other side of the vertical support frame, and a third transmission pulley 237 is mounted on its end. The third transmission belt 233 is fitted between the third drive pulley 236 and the third transmission pulley 237. The vertical slide 234 is threadedly connected to the second transmission screw 232, and a fixing frame 11 is mounted on the vertical slide 234. The vertical slide rail 235 is mounted on the vertical support frame, and the vertical slide 234 is slidably limited on the vertical slide rail 235. This configuration enables the material handling module 1 to reliably reciprocate vertically and bear the weight of the fixed frame 11 and the material handling module 1, thereby achieving stable adjustment of the loading and unloading positions.

[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
