[0002] In the production and application of refractory bricks, especially checker bricks, with the increasing demands for dimensional accuracy and volume expansion in industries such as industrial kilns and metallurgy, the traditional manual sorting and measurement methods are no longer sufficient to meet actual production needs. The main problems are as follows: the production batches of checker bricks and other refractory bricks are large, and traditional sorting operations rely on manual handling. The speed of manual sorting is limited, making it difficult to adapt to the continuous conveying and efficient sorting requirements of modern production lines. Moreover, long-term repetitive handling can lead to excessive labor intensity for operators and poses a safety hazard of bricks slipping and falling and causing injury. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of high labor intensity in refractory brick sorting, the influence of human factors on the accuracy of dimensional measurement, and the insufficient coordination of refractory brick conveying and positioning in the existing technology, and to propose a refractory brick sorting and measuring device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A refractory brick sorting and measuring device includes a conveying assembly, a small three-axis robot on one side of the conveying assembly, a measuring component on the drive end of the small three-axis robot, and a laser detection probe for measuring the size of refractory bricks on the measuring component. The top of the conveying assembly is provided with a limiting component for positioning the refractory bricks towards the center, and the top of the conveying assembly is provided with an adjusting component for adjusting the angle of the limiting component, so as to adapt to refractory bricks of different specifications.

[0005] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly includes a conveyor belt section and a roller conveying section. An upper frame is provided above the roller conveying section, and a limiting assembly is provided on the upper frame. The limiting assembly includes a limiting plate, which is obliquely arranged.

[0006] In some embodiments, the adjustment assembly includes a telescopic part and an adjustment part, and an opening is provided on the outer side of the upper frame for rotatable connection with the limiting plate; the telescopic part includes an electric push rod fixedly connected to the upper frame, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod is provided with a push rod.

[0007] In some embodiments, the adjustment part includes a limiting plate and a movable groove, wherein a limiting port is provided in the middle of the movable groove; and a sliding column is provided at the position corresponding to the limiting port on the push rod.

[0008] In some embodiments, the electric push rod is provided with a fixing mechanism for its telescopic end, for locking the telescopic end after telescopic extension.

[0009] In some embodiments, the drive end of the small three-axis robot is provided with a clamping component for sorting out substandard refractory bricks from the conveying component by the small three-axis robot.

[0010] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly includes a clamping motor, which is fixedly connected to a measuring element; the measuring element includes a support plate, a gear is rotatably connected inside the support plate, and the gear is fixed to the rotating end of the clamping motor; a slide rail is provided at the bottom of the support plate, and a rack plate is slidably connected inside the slide rail, the rack plate meshing with the gear; a clamping plate is provided at the bottom of the rack plate.

[0011] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the clamping plate, the inner end of the limiting plate, and the surface are respectively provided with elastic buffer pads to reduce damage to the refractory bricks.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a refractory brick sorting and measuring device, which has the following beneficial effects.

[0013] 1. This utility model integrates laser measurement and clamping sorting functions into an Estun small three-axis robot to automatically transfer detected substandard refractory bricks, replacing traditional manual handling. This greatly improves sorting efficiency, avoids the problem of excessive labor intensity caused by repetitive manual handling, and reduces the possibility of bricks slipping and causing injury due to excessive labor intensity, thus meeting the safety-first requirement of industrial production.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the adjustment component drives the limit plate to rotate via an electric push rod, which can adjust the distance between the inner ends of the two rows of limit plates, adapting to refractory bricks of different widths. The adjustment efficiency is high, and there is no need to disassemble the parts, reducing the subsequent equipment investment cost for enterprises and making it more flexible in use.

[0015] 3. In this utility model, the limiting component can be controlled in coordination with an electric push rod. When the downstream robot sorts out unqualified bricks, the limiting plate flips inward to temporarily store the upstream bricks, preventing bricks from piling up and being squeezed. After sorting is completed, the limiting plate expands outward to guide the bricks back to their original position, eliminating the need to activate the conveyor belt emergency stop function. Compared with traditional emergency stop and restart, this reduces downtime and losses caused by downtime.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0029] Due to the large number of checker bricks and the large workload of sorting, the size fluctuations of the checker bricks can be affected by human factors. In order to improve sorting efficiency and reduce the impact of human factors, this device was designed.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-10A refractory brick sorting and measuring device includes a conveying component 1, and a small three-axis robot 2 is provided on one side of the conveying component 1. Preferably, the small three-axis robot 2 is an Estun small three-axis robot.

[0031] The drive end of the small three-axis robot 2 is equipped with a measuring component 201. The measuring component 201 is equipped with a laser detection probe for measuring the size of refractory bricks. Through the laser detection probe, the six dimensions of width are converted according to the difference of the laser probe readings to reach the set value. The measured dimensions are recorded by the system, and after the system compares them, the robot enters the next process.

[0032] The conveying assembly 1 includes a conveyor belt section 101 and a roller conveying section 102. The conveying assembly 1 includes a conveyor belt section 101 located at the front and rear ends and a roller conveying section 102 located between the two sets of conveyor belt sections 101. For example, both the conveyor belt section 101 and the roller conveying section 102 are driven by a motor and a transmission chain.

[0033] The upper frame 5 is provided above the roller conveyor 102. The upper frame 5 is provided with a limiting component 3 for positioning the refractory bricks. The limiting component 3 limits the refractory bricks in the middle of the conveyor 1. The limiting component 3 includes a limiting plate 301, which is inclined.

[0034] In this invention, refractory bricks are conveyed via a conveyor assembly 1. Two rows of symmetrically arranged limiting plates 301 are used to limit the refractory bricks on the roller conveyor section 102 towards the center. The inclined surfaces of the corresponding two limiting plates 301 keep the refractory bricks in the center of the roller conveyor section 102. After the refractory bricks move to one end of the roller conveyor section 102, a small three-axis robot 2 uses a laser detection probe to identify and analyze the dimensional parameters of the refractory bricks. Based on preset qualification standards, it quickly determines whether the refractory bricks meet the requirements. Specifically, after acquiring measurement data through the laser detection probe, the system transmits the results to the control module, which drives the small three-axis robot 2 to perform corresponding sorting actions based on the judgment results. Qualified refractory bricks continue to be transferred to the next process via the conveyor belt section 101, while unqualified refractory bricks are transferred to the corresponding collection area. The small three-axis robot 2 is equipped with a clamping assembly at its drive end. This assembly is used to transfer unqualified refractory bricks to a collection area after the refractory bricks have been inspected for size. Specifically, the clamping assembly includes a clamping motor 6 fixedly connected to the drive end of the small three-axis robot 2. The clamping motor 6 is fixedly connected to a measuring component 201. The measuring component 201 includes a support plate 2011. A laser detection probe is mounted on the support plate 2011. A gear 601 is rotatably connected inside the support plate 2011. The gear 601 is fixedly connected to the rotating end of the clamping motor 6. A slide rail 602 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 2011. A rack plate 603 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 602. The rack plate 603 meshes with the gear 601. A clamping plate 6031 is provided at the bottom of the rack plate 603. A locking device is provided on the clamping motor 6 to lock the rotating end of the clamping motor 6 after it has rotated.

[0035] During use, when the system finishes processing the measurement data and finds substandard refractory bricks, the control module activates the clamping motor 6. The clamping motor 6 drives the gear 601 to rotate. The forward and reverse rotation of the gear 601 by the clamping motor 6 moves the ends of the two rack plates 603 closer or further apart, thus controlling the distance between the two clamping plates 6031. This allows for the clamping of substandard refractory bricks on the conveyor belt 101. Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the clamping motor 6 drives the gear 601 to rotate clockwise. Under the meshing of the gear 601 and the two rack plates 603, the two ends of the rack plates 603 that are far apart gradually come closer together, thereby completing the clamping of the refractory brick. After the clamping plate 6031 clamps the refractory brick, it works with the small three-axis robot 2 to transfer the defective refractory brick out of the conveyor belt section 101. In order to avoid damage to the surface of the refractory brick, an elastic buffer pad is provided on the inner wall of the clamping plate 6031. The elastic buffer pad is used to increase the friction between the clamping plate 6031 and the refractory brick, protect the surface of the refractory brick, and prevent slippage during the clamping process.

[0036] For heavier refractory bricks, after size measurement and specification comparison are completed, the unqualified refractory bricks can be pushed off the conveying assembly 1 by the waste brick discharge mechanism located downstream of the conveying assembly 1.

[0037] Example 2 This embodiment is a further improvement on the above embodiment, and its purpose is to adapt to the size of refractory bricks of different specifications. To this end, an adjustment component 4 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 301 to drive its angle adjustment. The adjustment component 4 includes a telescopic part 401 and an adjustment part 402. An opening 501 is provided on the outer side of the upper frame 5. The limiting plate 301 is rotatably connected to the opening 501. The telescopic part 401 includes an electric push rod 4011 fixedly connected to the upper frame 5. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 4011 is provided with a push rod 4012. The adjustment part 402 includes a movable groove 4013 opened at the corresponding position of the limiting plate 301 and the push rod 4012. A vertically penetrating limiting opening 4014 is opened in the middle of the movable groove 4013. The movable groove 4013 is located at the end of the limiting plate 301 away from the roller conveying part 102. A sliding column 4015 is provided at the corresponding position of the push rod 4012 and the limiting opening 4014. When the control module controls the telescopic movement of the electric push rod 4011, the limiting plate 301 rotates around the rotating shaft 4016. The distance between the inner ends of the two rows of limiting plates 301 changes during rotation. By adjusting the distance between the inner ends of corresponding pairs of limiting plates 301, the adaptability to different sizes of refractory bricks can be adjusted. The inner end of the limiting plate 301 is equipped with an elastic buffer pad to prevent damage to the limiting plate 301 when it comes into contact with the refractory brick.

[0038] The electric push rod 4011 is equipped with a fixing mechanism for its telescopic end, which is used to lock the telescopic end after telescopic extension.

[0039] Example 3 This embodiment is a further improvement on the above embodiment. The distance between the multiple limiting plates 301 is equal. Between the two rows of limiting plates 301, the retraction of the electric push rod 4011 drives the push rod 4012 to rotate the limiting plate 301, so that the corresponding two limiting plates 301 are kept flush. At this time, the refractory brick can be kept on one side of the two limiting plates 301. In this way, multiple refractory bricks can be limited, so that multiple refractory bricks are conveyed forward one by one with equal spacing, which is used to balance the sorting rhythm. Specifically, when the downstream small three-axis robot 2 starts the process of transferring unqualified refractory bricks to the collection area, the two corresponding limiting plates 301 are flipped inward under the action of the retraction of the two electric push rods 4011, shortening the distance between the two corresponding limiting plates 301. At this time, the limiting plates 301 provide a limit for the refractory bricks, preventing the refractory bricks from shifting due to inertia when the roller conveyor 102 stops suddenly. After the unqualified refractory bricks are transferred downstream, the two corresponding limiting plates 301 are flipped outward under the action of the extension of the two electric push rods 4011, so that the distance between the two limiting plates 301 is slightly larger than the diameter of the refractory bricks again. Through the oblique guidance of the limiting plates 301, the refractory bricks continue to be held in the middle of the roller conveyor 102, providing a stable and reliable positioning basis for subsequent dimensional measurement. The surface of the limiting plates 301 is also provided with elastic buffer pads to avoid damage caused by friction or impact with the surface of the refractory bricks during the limiting process, ensuring the integrity of the refractory bricks.
