In the process that the lifting driving mechanism 150 drives the clamping manipulator 120 to descend to the height position where the clamping manipulator 120 can clamp the parting strips, the switch guide strip 126 moves upwards due to the resistance of the top surface of the parting strips until the detection switch detects the switch guide strip 126, the detection switch triggers a detection signal and sends the detection signal to the controller, the controller generates a control signal after receiving the detection signal, the telescopic cylinder 123 is controlled to work, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 123 drives the first clamping jaw 124 and the second clamping jaw 125 to be close to each other to clamp the parting strips, and finally the automatic control of the clamping action of the clamping manipulator 120 is realized.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 8, the conveying mechanism for the upper row of aluminum materials further comprises a material frame conveying mechanism 400. The conveying direction of the material frame conveying mechanism 400 is consistent with the length direction of the lifting frame 130. Specifically, the material frame conveying mechanism 400 includes: a bottom frame 430, a conveying roller 440, a first driving motor 410, and a limit support wheel 450.
The conveying rollers 440 are provided at intervals in the Y direction, both ends of the conveying rollers 440 are connected to the base frame 430 by bearings, the conveying rollers 440 can rotate around the axes thereof, and the axes of the conveying rollers 440 extend in the X direction. The two adjacent conveying rollers 440 are connected by a chain, specifically, a duplex sprocket is arranged at one end of the conveying rollers 440, and the transmission chain 420 is wound around the duplex sprocket arranged on the adjacent conveying roller 440.
An output shaft of the first driving motor 410 is in transmission connection with any one of the conveying rollers 440, and specifically, the output shaft of the first driving motor 410 is connected with one of the conveying rollers 440. When the first driving motor 410 is operated, all the conveying rollers 440 are caused to rotate simultaneously by the transmission chain 420.
The two ends of the conveying roller 440 are respectively provided with a limit supporting wheel 450, and the limit supporting wheel 450 is fixed with the conveying roller 440 and can rotate along with the conveying roller 440. The curb support wheels 450 may be flared. The front end and the rear end of the conveying roller 440 are respectively provided with a limiting supporting wheel 450, so that the material frame can be limited, the material frame is prevented from shaking forwards and backwards in the conveying process, and the material frame is ensured to stably move along the conveying direction of the material frame conveying mechanism 400.
In this embodiment, adopt many material frame conveying mechanism 400 to link up, carry the material frame.
In addition, a photoelectric switch can be arranged to detect the position of the material frame on the material frame conveying mechanism, that is, the positioning work of the material frame in the Y direction is completed, the grabbing mechanism 100 is convenient to directly clamp the parting beads on the material frame, and therefore a plurality of aluminum materials on the parting beads are transferred to the first conveying mechanism 200 from the material frame.
While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the embodiments shown and described, but is capable of numerous equivalents and substitutions without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the claims appended hereto.
