Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aerogel product manufacturing equipment, and in particular to a loading and unloading device for aerogel product hot pressing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Aerogel materials are increasingly widely used in many fields due to their excellent properties such as lightweight, high-efficiency thermal insulation, and fire resistance, such as thermal insulation of power battery modules in new energy vehicles, thermal protection components in aerospace, and pipeline insulation in petrochemicals.

[0003] In the production of aerogel products, vacuum hot pressing is a key step to ensure product quality and performance. It enables the aerogel material to achieve optimized recombination of molecular structure under specific pressure and temperature conditions, thereby improving the density and stability of the product. However, traditional vacuum hot-pressing production processes for aerogel products rely heavily on manual labor. During the loading stage, workers must manually and precisely place the aerogel raw materials and related encapsulation materials onto the hot-pressing equipment. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also susceptible to human error, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of material placement. This can easily lead to uneven heating and pressure during hot pressing, resulting in product quality defects such as inconsistent density and poor edge adhesion. The unloading stage also relies on manual labor. After hot pressing, workers must remove the finished product in a high-temperature environment, which is not only inefficient but also poses safety hazards such as burns. Furthermore, frequent manual operation of the equipment increases idle time, significantly limiting production efficiency. Utility Model Content This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a loading and unloading device for aerogel product hot pressing equipment. By setting up an automatic loading and unloading structure and rationally arranging its layout, manual intervention in loading and unloading is reduced, equipment idle time is decreased, and production efficiency is improved.

[0004] A loading and unloading device for an aerogel product hot pressing equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: The frame is defined by the horizontally perpendicular X and Y directions, and the vertical Z direction; Two hot pressing platforms are provided along the Y direction; The feeding mechanism includes a feeding conveyor line, which is disposed between the two hot pressing platforms. The feeding conveyor line is used to feed a die containing aerogel raw material along the X direction. The unloading mechanism includes two unloading components, which are respectively located on both sides of the feeding conveyor line along the Y direction, and the two unloading components are respectively aligned with the two hot pressing platforms along the X direction; The material transfer mechanism, mounted on the frame, includes a servo drive module and a material picking module. The material picking module is used to pick up and place the die-cutting mold. The servo drive module is used to drive the material picking module to move along the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction. The material transfer mechanism is used to transfer the die-cutting mold from the feeding conveyor line to the hot pressing platform and from the hot pressing platform to the unloading mechanism.

[0005] The loading and unloading device of the aerogel product hot pressing equipment according to an embodiment of the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model, by setting up a feeding mechanism, a discharging mechanism, and a transferring mechanism, utilizes the cooperation of the feeding mechanism, the discharging mechanism, and the transferring mechanism to automatically load and unload aerogel products, thereby replacing the current manual loading and unloading operation. On the one hand, it eliminates the problem of uneven heating or pressure of products caused by human placement errors, avoids workers coming into contact with high-temperature equipment, eliminates the risk of burns, and improves inherent safety. On the other hand, the automatic loading and unloading achieved by utilizing the feeding mechanism, the discharging mechanism, and the transferring mechanism can improve loading and unloading efficiency.

[0006] 2. This utility model sets up two hot pressing platforms, one feeding mechanism, two unloading components and one transferring mechanism, so that when one hot pressing platform is performing hot pressing operation, the other hot pressing platform can perform unloading and feeding operations, realizing parallel operation of hot pressing and unloading, thereby helping to reduce equipment idle time and improve production efficiency.

[0007] 3. This utility model arranges two unloading components on both sides of the loading mechanism, making the loading mechanism central and the unloading components symmetrically distributed on both sides of the loading mechanism along the Y direction. This results in a compact structure, reduced material transfer stroke, and shorter loading and unloading cycle for a single aerogel product. At the same time, the loading mechanism and the two unloading components are arranged side by side along the Y direction, so that the feeding end of the loading mechanism and the discharging end of the two unloading components are on the same side. This makes it easier for operators to feed materials to the loading mechanism and retrieve materials from the unloading components, thereby further improving production efficiency.

[0008] 4. By setting up a servo drive module, this utility model can control the three-axis movement of the material picking module in the X, Y and Z directions, improve the flexibility and motion accuracy of the material picking module, ensure the consistency of the die position at the hot pressing station, and guarantee the product positioning accuracy from the source.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the feeding mechanism further includes a first frame, the feeding conveyor line is disposed on the first frame, and the first frame is provided with two guide modules, the two guide modules are respectively located on both sides of the feeding conveyor line along the Y direction, and the two guide modules are respectively used to limit the two sides of the die on the feeding conveyor line to guide the die.

[0010] The advantages are: by setting two guide modules, which are located on both sides of the feeding conveyor line along the Y direction, the two guide modules are used to limit the two sides of the die on the feeding conveyor line to guide the die. It can be understood that the guide modules forcibly constrain the Y-direction displacement of the die during the conveying process, prevent material jamming or positioning deviation caused by offset, and ensure that the gripping position of the material transfer mechanism is uniform.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the guide module includes a mounting assembly fixed on the first frame and a guide rod mounted on the mounting assembly. The guide rod extends along the X direction and is used to limit the side of the die on the feeding conveyor line.

[0012] The advantages of this invention are: by including a mounting assembly fixed on a first frame and a guide rod mounted on the mounting assembly in the guide module, the guide rod extends along the X direction and is used to limit the side of the die on the feeding conveyor line. Thus, the guide rod provides a linear sliding contact surface, enabling the guide module to guide the die throughout the entire conveying process, avoiding local guidance that could cause the die to jam.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a rubber pad is provided on the side of the guide rod near the center of the feeding conveyor line, and the rubber pad is used to abut against the side of the die on the feeding conveyor line.

[0014] The advantage of this invention is that by setting a rubber pad on the side of the guide rod near the center of the feeding conveyor line, the rubber pad is used to abut against the side of the die on the feeding conveyor line. It can be understood that the rubber pad absorbs the collision energy, prevents the hard guide rod from scratching the die or aerogel material, and reduces the scrap rate.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the guide rod and the rubber pad are detachably connected. The guide rod has a T-shaped limiting boss on the side near the center of the feeding conveyor belt. The T-shaped limiting boss extends along the X direction. The rubber pad has a T-shaped groove on one side. The T-shaped groove passes through both ends of the rubber pad along the X direction. The T-shaped limiting boss and the T-shaped groove are connected in a cooperative manner.

[0016] The advantages of this invention are: by making the guide rod and the rubber pad detachably connected, the guide rod has a T-shaped limiting boss on the side near the center of the feeding conveyor belt, the T-shaped limiting boss extends along the X direction, and the rubber pad has a T-shaped groove on one side, the T-shaped groove passes through both ends of the rubber pad along the X direction. The T-shaped limiting boss and the T-shaped groove are connected in a cooperative manner. It can be understood that, on the one hand, the detachable setting of the rubber pad makes it easy to replace the worn rubber pad, and on the other hand, the two-way locking structure of the T-shaped groove and the T-shaped limiting boss ensures that the rubber pad does not shift under vibration, which is beneficial to improving the installation stability of the rubber pad.

[0017] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the installation assembly includes a fixed base, a support rod, a locking sleeve, and a locking nut. The fixed base is fixed on the first frame. One end of the support rod is connected to the guide rod. The fixed base is provided with a first mounting hole for the support rod to slide along the Y direction. The locking sleeve has a first through hole for the support rod to pass through. The fixed base is also provided with a first sliding groove for the locking sleeve to slide in a direction perpendicular to the Y direction. The locking sleeve has a first screw. The locking nut is disposed at the opening of the first sliding groove. The locking nut abuts against the opening of the first sliding groove. The locking nut is threadedly connected to the first screw. The locking nut and the locking sleeve cooperate to lock and release the support rod.

[0018] The advantages of this invention are: by setting a fixed base, a support rod, a locking sleeve, and a locking nut, it can be understood that when the locking nut loosens the first screw of the locking sleeve, the support rod can slide freely in the first through hole, and the position of the guide rod along the Y direction can be adjusted. When the locking nut tightens the first screw, the inner wall of the first through hole presses the support rod in a direction perpendicular to the Y direction, so that the support rod is pressed by the inner wall of the first mounting hole and the inner wall of the first through hole, thereby quickly locking and fixing the support rod, and thus quickly fixing the position of the guide rod along the Y direction.

[0019] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the locking nut is provided with a knob.

[0020] The advantage of this invention is that by providing a knob on the locking nut, the operator can easily turn the knob by hand to rotate the locking nut, thereby facilitating the operation of locking and loosening the support rod.

[0021] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the guide module is provided with a plurality of the mounting components, and the plurality of mounting components are arranged along the X direction.

[0022] The advantages of this invention are that by setting multiple mounting components in the guide module and arranging these components along the X direction, the multiple mounting components can provide multi-point support for the guide rod, which helps to ensure the stability of the guide rod and reduces the risk of deformation under stress.

[0023] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the unloading assembly includes a second frame, an unloading platform slidably disposed on the second frame along the X direction, and a translation drive module that drives the unloading platform to move back and forth along the X direction.

[0024] The advantages of this invention are as follows: By including a second frame, a feeding platform that slides along the X direction on the second frame, and a translation drive module that drives the feeding platform to move back and forth along the X direction, the feeding platform can actively move to the side below the hot pressing platform to receive materials, thereby shortening the material transfer stroke of the material transfer mechanism in the Z direction and reducing the feeding cycle time. On the other hand, the feeding platform can temporarily store finished products when it moves out, allowing the hot pressing equipment to operate continuously. The feeding cycle partially overlaps with the production cycle, further improving production efficiency.

[0025] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the servo drive module includes an X-axis drive module, a Y-axis drive module, and a Z-axis drive module. The X-axis drive module is mounted on the frame, the Y-axis drive module is mounted at the output end of the X-axis drive module, the Z-axis drive module is mounted at the output end of the Y-axis drive module, and the material handling module is mounted at the output end of the Z-axis drive module.

[0026] The advantages of this invention are: by including an X-axis drive module, a Y-axis drive module, and a Z-axis drive module in the servo drive module, with the X-axis drive module mounted on the frame, the Y-axis drive module located at the output end of the X-axis drive module, the Z-axis drive module located at the output end of the Y-axis drive module, and the material handling module located at the output end of the Z-axis drive module, the servo drive module can achieve coordinated control of the X, Y, and Z-axis movements of the material handling module.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 This invention describes a loading and unloading device for a hot pressing equipment for aerogel products according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] This utility model aims to provide an embodiment of the loading and unloading device for a hot pressing equipment for aerogel products.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the loading and unloading device of an aerogel product hot pressing equipment mainly includes a frame 100, a hot pressing platform 110, a loading mechanism, an unloading mechanism, and a transferring mechanism.

[0038] For rack 100, rack 100 is defined by horizontally perpendicular X and Y directions, and vertically perpendicular Z direction.

[0039] For the hot press platform 110, there are two hot press platforms 110 along the Y direction.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The feeding mechanism includes a feeding conveyor line 120, which is located between two hot pressing platforms 110. The feeding conveyor line 120 is used to feed the die containing aerogel raw material along the X direction.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, the feeding mechanism further includes a first frame 160, a feeding conveyor line 120 disposed on the first frame 160, and two guide modules 170 disposed on the first frame 160. The two guide modules 170 are respectively located on both sides of the feeding conveyor line 120 along the Y direction. The two guide modules 170 are respectively used to limit the two sides of the die on the feeding conveyor line 120 to guide the die.

[0042] Understandably, the guide module 170 forcibly constrains the Y-axis displacement of the die during the conveying process to prevent material jamming or positioning deviation caused by offset, and to ensure that the gripping position of the material transfer mechanism is consistent.

[0043] Reference Figure 5 In some specific embodiments, the guide module 170 includes a mounting assembly 180 fixed on the first frame 160 and a guide rod 190 mounted on the mounting assembly 180. The guide rod 190 extends along the X direction and is used to limit the side of the die on the feeding conveyor line 120. Thus, the guide rod 190 provides a linear sliding contact surface, enabling the guide module 170 to guide the die throughout the entire conveying process, avoiding local guidance that could cause the die conveying to jam.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, a rubber pad 200 is provided on the side of the guide rod 190 near the center of the feeding conveyor line 120. The rubber pad 200 is used to abut against the side of the die on the feeding conveyor line 120.

[0045] Understandably, the rubber pad 200 absorbs impact energy to prevent the rigid guide rod 190 from scratching the die or aerogel material, thus reducing the scrap rate.

[0046] Furthermore, the guide rod 190 and the rubber pad 200 are detachably connected. The guide rod 190 has a T-shaped limiting boss 210 on the side near the center of the feeding conveyor belt. The T-shaped limiting boss 210 extends in the X direction. The rubber pad 200 has a T-shaped groove 220 on one side. The T-shaped groove 220 passes through both ends of the rubber pad 200 in the X direction. The T-shaped limiting boss 210 and the T-shaped groove 220 are connected in a cooperative manner.

[0047] Understandably, on the one hand, the detachable design of the rubber pad 200 makes it easy to replace the worn rubber pad 200; on the other hand, the bidirectional locking structure of the T-slot 220 and the T-shaped limiting boss 210 ensures that the rubber pad 200 does not shift under vibration, which helps to improve the installation stability of the rubber pad 200.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, the mounting assembly 180 includes a fixing base 230, a support rod 240, a locking sleeve 250, and a locking nut 260.

The fixing base 230 is provided with a first mounting hole 270 for accommodating the support rod 240 to slide in the Y direction. The locking sleeve 250 has a first through hole 280 for accommodating the support rod 240 to pass through. The fixing base 230 is also provided with a first sliding groove 290 for accommodating the locking sleeve 250 to slide in a direction perpendicular to the Y direction. The locking sleeve 250 has a first screw. The locking nut 260 is disposed at the opening of the first sliding groove 290. The locking nut 260 abuts against the opening of the first sliding groove 290. The locking nut 260 is threadedly connected to the first screw. The locking nut 260 and the locking sleeve 250 cooperate to lock and release the support rod 240.

[0049] Understandably, when the locking nut 260 loosens the first screw of the locking sleeve 250, the support rod 240 can slide freely in the first through hole 280, and the position of the guide rod 190 in the Y direction can be adjusted. When the locking nut 260 locks the first screw, the inner wall of the first through hole 280 presses the support rod 240 in a direction perpendicular to the Y direction, so that the support rod 240 is pressed by the inner wall of the first mounting hole 270 and the inner wall of the first through hole 280, thereby quickly locking and fixing the support rod 240, and thus quickly fixing the position of the guide rod 190 in the Y direction.

[0050] Furthermore, a knob 300 is provided on the locking nut 260, so that the operator can easily turn the knob 300 by hand to rotate the locking nut 260, thereby facilitating the operation of locking and loosening the support rod 240.

On the other hand, when the unloading platform 320 moves out, it can temporarily store the finished product, allowing the hot pressing equipment to run continuously. The unloading and production cycles partially overlap, further improving production efficiency.

[0055] Specifically, the translation drive module 330 can be a motor and a ball screw. The motor is fixed on the second frame 310 and is used to drive the screw of the ball screw to rotate.
