Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated powder making equipment technology, and in particular to a robotic powder making system. Background Technology

[0002] According to the new national standard, powder preparation is the process of crushing materials from 1mm to 0.2mm powder. Existing powder preparation equipment mainly consists of stand-alone powder mills and powder preparation components in fully automated and robotic sample preparation systems. For 3mm samples prepared by robotic and fully automated sample preparation systems, manual reduction, drying, and powder preparation are generally required. To reduce manual operation and labor intensity and achieve unmanned operation, fully automated and robotic sample preparation systems have emerged. However, existing 3mm samples prepared by fully automated and robotic sample preparation generally require passing through a 3mm round-hole sieve, followed by manual reduction using a trough reducer to approximately 100 grams, drying in an oven, and then manual grinding in a stand-alone grinding unit. After grinding, the powder must be collected manually. The entire process is cumbersome, environmentally unfriendly, and inevitably involves dust emissions, contradicting the concept of unmanned operation. Therefore, it is essential to develop an environmentally friendly and intelligent device that can complete the entire process from sample preparation to powder preparation. Utility Model Content

The pneumatic bottle conveyor belt 3 includes structural components related to receiving and sending coal sample bottles, as well as structural components related to temporarily storing coal sample bottles. The AGV bottle conveyor belt 4 includes structural components related to receiving and sending coal sample bottles for docking with AGV carts, thus enabling docking with either pneumatic or AGV carts. Both the pneumatic bottle conveyor belt 3 and the AGV bottle conveyor belt 5 can convey 3mm sample bottles to the robotic powder-making system. Both the pneumatic bottle conveyor belt 3 and the AGV bottle conveyor belt 5 are equipped with temporary storage positions for coal sample bottles. Through cylinder control, coal sample bottles can be conveyed sequentially to the end of the conveyor belt for easy gripping by the robotic arm. The pneumatic bottle conveyor belt 3 includes a pneumatic inlet bottle conveyor belt (for conveying 3mm sample bottles) and a pneumatic delivery bottle conveyor belt (for delivering prepared 0.2mm powder sample bottles).

[0022] In this embodiment, the discharge unit includes an abnormal bottle conveyor belt 1 and a negative pressure suction device 12. The abnormal bottle conveyor belt 1 includes structural components related to the storage and transportation of abnormal bottles during the code reading and capping process. The negative pressure suction device 12 includes structural components related to the negative pressure suction of the cleaning sample generated by the powdering component and the discarded sample generated by the crushing and shrinking component.

[0023] In this embodiment, the negative pressure suction device 12 also includes structural components that take into account dust removal during sample unloading.

[0024] In this embodiment, the capping / closing machine 2 includes structural components related to opening the caps of received sample bottles and closing the caps of filled sample bottles. The capping / closing machine 2 opens the sample bottles to facilitate the next step of pouring and leveling; the capping machine 2 closes the 0.2mm powder sample prepared by the equipment to facilitate the next step of pneumatic conveying or AGV trolley transfer.

[0025] In this embodiment, the weighing / coding platform 4 includes structural components related to reading codes and weighing incoming bottles, as well as weighing and coding prepared samples. Weighing the incoming bottles facilitates checking whether the material has been completely poured out, and reading the codes helps confirm the coal sample number.

[0026] In this embodiment, the pouring / leveling device 6 includes a pouring function for the coal sample bottle and structural components related to leveling the poured coal sample. The pouring unit in the pouring / leveling device 6 includes a vibrating bottle pouring device to assist in emptying the coal sample from the coal sample bottle completely, and the leveling unit in the pouring / leveling device 6 is used to level the poured coal sample to facilitate the next drying operation.

[0027] In this embodiment, the drying module 11 includes structural components related to drying the flattened sample. The drying module 11 dries the 3mm sample after pouring, removing surface moisture from the sample to facilitate powder preparation.

[0028] In this embodiment, the crushing and reducing assembly 10 includes structural components related to reducing the dried sample and crushing it to 1mm.

[0030] In this embodiment, the aforementioned "related structural components" can all be components that have been disclosed in the prior art and can achieve related functions.

[0031] The working principle and process of the robotic powder-making system in this embodiment are as follows: The gas cylinder conveyor belt or AGV cylinder conveyor belt 5 sends the sample bottles containing the samples for inspection to the conveyor belt and temporarily stores them. Figure 2As shown, the gripper assembly on the robotic arm picks up the sample bottle and places it on the weighing / code reading platform 4 for code reading and weighing. If an abnormality occurs during the process, the sample bottle is transferred to the abnormal bottle conveyor belt 1. The sample bottle is then picked up and placed at the capping / closing machine 2, which opens the bottle. The sample bottle is then picked up and placed at the pouring / leveling device 6 to complete the pouring and leveling of the sample bottle. The robotic arm picks up the leveled coal sample cylinder and places it at the drying station of the drying module 11 to dry the sample. The dried sample is then transferred to the pouring hopper of the crushing and reducing assembly 10 to pour the sample, completing the 1mm crushing and reducing action, and reducing one sample for powder making. The discarded sample is directly sucked away by the negative pressure suction device 12. The sample is picked up and poured into the feed hopper of the powder making assembly 8. The powder making assembly 8 is equipped with a trough reducing device to reduce the sample into two parts, one for cleaning and sample preparation, and the other for formal sample preparation. The cleaning sample is directly sucked away by the negative pressure suction device 12. After the sample powdering is completed, the robotic arm picks up the official sample powder bottle and places it at the weighing / coding platform 4 for weighing and coding. The sample bottle is then sent to the capping / closing machine 2 for capping, and then transferred to the AGV conveyor belt 5 or the pneumatic conveyor belt to transport the sample to the storage cabinet or laboratory.
