The fourth driving device 200 is connected to the fixing frame 310 to drive the fixing frame 310 to move in the up-down direction. More specifically, the fourth driving device 200 includes a second motor 210, a second driven wheel 240, a first chain 231, a third driven wheel 261, a second chain 232, a fourth driven wheel 262, a fifth driven wheel 263, and a third chain 233.
The second motor 210 is disposed on the translation frame 110 by bolts, and the second motor 210 is a forward and reverse rotation motor, and the output shaft thereof can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The second motor 210 may be a stepper motor. The output shaft of the second motor 210 is provided with a first driven wheel 220.
The second driven wheel 240 is provided on the translation frame 110 through a bearing housing and is rotatable about its horizontal axis. The third driven wheel 261 is provided on the translation frame 110 through a bearing housing and is rotatable about a horizontal axis thereof, and in this embodiment, the third driven wheel 261 is located below the second driven wheel 240. The fourth driven wheel 262 is provided on the translation frame 110 through a bearing housing and is rotatable about a horizontal axis thereof, and the fifth driven wheel 263 is provided on the translation frame 110 through a bearing housing and is rotatable about a horizontal axis thereof, and in this embodiment, the fourth driven wheel 262 is located on the left side of the fifth driven wheel 263.
The first driven pulley 220, the second driven pulley 240, the third driven pulley 261, the fourth driven pulley 262, and the fifth driven pulley 263 are sprockets.
A first chain 231 is wound between the first driven pulley 220 and the second driven pulley 240. One end of the second chain 232 is connected with the first chain 231, the other end of the second chain 232 is connected with one end of the fixing frame 310, and the second chain 232 is wound around the third driven wheel 261. One end of the third chain 233 is connected to the first chain 231, the other end of the third chain 233 is connected to the other end of the fixing frame 310, and the third chain 233 is wound around the fourth driven wheel 262 and the fifth driven wheel 263.
In the present embodiment, both end portions of the first chain 231 are respectively connected to the chain connecting plates 250 by welding or bolts, the upper end portion of the second chain 232 is fixed to the chain connecting plates 250 by welding or bolts, and the upper end portion of the third chain 233 is also fixed to the chain connecting plates 250 by welding or bolts.
Of course, the two ends of the first chain 231 may be closed-loop connected, and the upper end of the second chain 232 and the upper end of the third chain 233 may be fixed to the first chain 231 by welding.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the second motor 210 is in driving connection with a second transmission shaft 270 through a speed reducer, two ends of the second transmission shaft 270 are respectively provided with a first driven wheel 220, and correspondingly, two second driven wheels 240, a third driven wheel 261, a fourth driven wheel 262 and a fifth driven wheel 263 are respectively provided, and two first chains 231, two second chains 232 and two third chains 233 are respectively provided.
As shown in fig. 3, when the output shaft of the second motor 210 drives the first driven wheel 220 to rotate clockwise, the upper end portion of the second chain 232 and the upper end portion of the third chain 233 move left due to the clockwise operation of the first chain 231, so that the lower end portion of the second chain 232 and the lower end portion of the third chain 233 are driven to move downward, and the fixing frame 310 of the clamping mechanism 300 is further lowered.
Conversely, when the first driven wheel 220 rotates counterclockwise, the upper end of the second chain 232 and the upper end of the third chain 233 move rightward due to the counterclockwise movement of the first chain 231, so that the lower end of the second chain 232 and the lower end of the third chain 233 are urged to move upward, thereby lifting the fixing frame 310 of the clamping mechanism 300.
And, the top of mount 310 is equipped with location guide pulley 312, and location guide pulley 312 can set up one or more, and location guide pulley 312's axis extends along fore-and-aft direction, and location guide pulley 312 passes through the bearing frame and installs on mount 310, and location guide pulley 312 can rotate around its axis.
The bottom of translation frame 110 sets up link 150, and the bottom surface of link 150 upwards caves in and forms constant head tank 160, and the notch department of constant head tank 160 is provided with the chamfer, and the chamfer plays the guide effect, makes things convenient for location guide pulley 312 to insert in the constant head tank 160.
When the fixing frame 310 rises under the pulling force of the second chain 232 and the third chain 233, the positioning guide wheel 312 can be accurately inserted into the positioning groove 160 through the guiding action of the chamfer and is in adaptive connection with the positioning groove 160, so that the fixing frame 310 is enabled to be stable and motionless relative to the translation frame 110, and accordingly the phenomenon that the fixing frame 310 swings left and right relative to the translation frame 110 in the process that the translation frame 110 moves left and right is avoided, damage to surrounding equipment or personnel caused by the fixing frame 310 is prevented, and in addition, the working efficiency of the clamping manipulator is improved, and the die 510 is clamped and carried onto the conveying mechanism 600 rapidly.
Because the second chain 232 and the third chain 233 have flexibility, during the process that the translation frame 110 drives the fixing frame 310 to move left or right, the fixing frame 310 can shake left and right due to inertia, especially when the clamping mechanism 300 clamps the heavy mold 510, the shaking of the clamping mechanism 300 can cause a large accident, therefore, the positioning guide wheel 312 and the positioning groove 160 are provided, and the positioning guide wheel 312 is limited to move left and right by the positioning groove 160, so that the fixing frame 310 is stable relative to the translation frame 110.
Of course, the fourth driving device 200 may be a hydraulic cylinder, a telescopic cylinder, or a screw driving mechanism.
Instead of the combination of the fourth driving device 200 and the fifth driving device 100, a four-axis or more mechanical arm may be used.
As shown in fig. 1, 2, 9 and 10, the mold conveyor 900 conveys the mold 510 to the holding robot, and a position detector such as a photoelectric switch may be provided to position the mold 510 on the mold conveyor 900 to ensure that the mold 510 is conveyed in place and stop the conveying action. The mold conveyor 900 may be a roller conveyor or a chain conveyor.
Then, the clamping manipulator is started, the clamping mechanism 300 is moved to the upper side of the die 510 under the driving of the fifth driving device 100, and the clamping mechanism 300 is lowered by a certain height under the driving of the fourth driving device 200, so that the die 510 is accurately and stably clamped. Then, the clamping mechanism 300 is lifted to a set height position with the mold 510 by the fourth driving device 200, and then, the fifth driving device 100 drives the clamping mechanism 300 to horizontally move above the conveying mechanism 600 with the mold 510 to finish the placement of the mold 510 on the upper surface of the mold bottom plate 520 on the conveying mechanism 600.
The conveying mechanism 600 conveys the die bottom plate 520 coming out of the firing kiln toward the centering mechanism 400. Likewise, a position detector, such as a photoelectric switch, may be provided to position the mold 510 on the conveyor 600 to ensure that the mold base 520 is conveyed in place. At this time, the clamp robot places the mold 510 on the mold base 520, and after the clamp robot releases the mold 510, the centering mechanism 400 is started. The first centering member and the second centering member center the mold 510 and the mold base 520 in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction, thereby causing the mold 510 to be positioned at the center of the mold base 520 and finally completing the automatic mold closing operation of the mold 510 and the mold base 520.
Finally, the transfer mechanism 600 transfers the mold 510 and the mold bottom plate 520 after mold clamping to the firing kiln.
Of course, in actual operation, the clamping mechanism 300 may also drive the die 510 to descend to a certain height, for example, 20 mm away from the upper surface of the die bottom plate 520, then start the centering mechanism 400, after the centering operation is completed, the clamping mechanism 300 loosens the die 510, so that the die 510 falls on the die bottom plate 520, and the die 510 is relatively heavy, and is not easy to shift in the falling process, so that the purpose of automatically closing the die 510 and the die bottom plate 520 can be achieved.
