Description of the embodiments

In order to facilitate an understanding of the utility model, a more complete description is provided below in connection with the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the utility model. This utility model may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. These embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.

It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may be present.

Example 1

Referring to fig. 3, the plate brick corner wrapping machine comprises a conveying line 1 for conveying brick bodies and four bins 2 for storing corner protectors. A plurality of corner protectors are stacked in each bin from bottom to top. The outlet position of each bin is provided with a feeding manipulator 3 for pushing out the corner protectors stacked in the bin one by one. A stack of orderly stacked bricks is conveyed by a conveyor line 1. The conveyor line 1 may be either a belt conveyor line or a roller conveyor line, which is shown in the drawings.

The plate brick corner wrapping machine is also provided with a brick stack layering mechanism for dividing the whole stack of bricks sent by the conveying line into an upper layer and a lower layer. Referring to fig. 3, the brick pile layering mechanism of the present embodiment includes a lifting table 4 and a brick clamping manipulator 5 that clamps the brick body. When the conveyor line 1 brings a stack of tiles 6 into position as shown in fig. 4, the conveyor line 1 pauses its travel. The brick pillar layering mechanism immediately performs layering actions: first, as shown in fig. 5, the lifting table 4 lifts and raises the whole stack of bricks 6; then as shown in fig. 6, the brick clamping mechanical arm 5 clamps the upper layer of the lifted whole pile of bricks, the lifting platform 4 descends immediately to separate the whole pile of bricks into an upper layer and a lower layer, and a gap 7 is reserved between the two layers of bricks. The feeding mechanical arm at the outlet positions of the four bins can take the corner protector out of the bottom of the bin by executing the actions of figures 7 to 8 and prepare for pushing the corner protector even when the conveying line does not send the brick stack in place at the same time or before the brick stack layering mechanism executes layering action. Referring to fig. 7, the feeding robot 3 extends out of the suction cup to suck up one corner protector 8 located at the lowest part of the bin 2 (only one corner protector located at the lowest part is drawn in all bins in order to clean the drawing), and then moves the corner protector 8 to an angle towards the brick corner as shown in fig. 8 (the bottom of the bin 2 in fig. 8 is again new by one corner protector).

After the brick pile layering mechanism divides the whole pile of bricks into an upper layer and a lower layer as shown in fig. 6, the feeding manipulator 3 immediately pushes the corner protector 8 towards the brick corner of the brick pile as shown in fig. 9, so that the wing plate 9 on the corner protector 8 is inserted into the gap 7 between the upper layer of bricks and the lower layer of bricks as shown in fig. 2. Referring to fig. 10, the four feeding manipulators 3 perform the above-described actions simultaneously, and then the corner protectors are simultaneously fitted to the four corners of the entire stack of bricks 6. Next, as shown in fig. 11, the suction cups of the four feeding manipulators 3 are separated from the corner protectors, the brick clamping manipulators 5 open the upper bricks, and the upper bricks fall down. Therefore, the upper layer brick and the lower layer brick are folded to clamp the wing plates on the corner protectors, so that the corner protectors 8 sleeved on the four brick corners are fixed, and the corner sleeving action is completed. As an alternative, the lifting table 4 may be lifted a little before the brick clamping robot 5 releases the upper layer brick until the lower layer brick is pushed up to the upper layer brick.

It should be noted that the size of the gap 7 is intentionally exaggerated in fig. 6 to 10 in order to clearly show the gap between the upper and lower bricks. In practice, the gap 7 between the upper and lower bricks need only be slightly greater than the thickness of the wing panel of the corner protector, for example only about 5mm.

After the corner fitting operation is completed in fig. 11, the lifting table 4 is lowered back to the original position shown in fig. 4, the whole pile of bricks 6 is dropped back onto the conveying line 1, and the conveying line 1 conveys the whole pile of bricks with the corner protectors fitted to the next station. Alternatively, in the state of fig. 11, the whole pile of bricks covered with the corner protector may be removed by other mechanisms, and the lifting platform 4 may be lowered again to return to the original position.

It should be noted that, what proportion the brick pillar layering mechanism divides the brick pillar into upper and lower two-layer, should depend on the actual structure of angle bead. For example, in this embodiment, the corner protector shown in fig. 1 is used as an operation object, and the corner protector can respectively wrap two bricks on the upper and lower sides of the wing plate 9 as shown in fig. 2, so correspondingly, the brick stack layering mechanism of this embodiment layers the brick stack according to the proportion of the upper two bricks and the lower two bricks as shown in fig. 6; for another example, if the corner protector can cover two bricks on the lower side of the wing plate, and the upper side can cover only one brick, the brick stack layering mechanism should layer the brick stacks according to the proportion of the two bricks on the lower layer and the one brick on the upper layer, and the like.

Example two

The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is mainly that the brick pillar layering mechanism has a different structure. Referring to fig. 12, the brick pile layering mechanism of the present embodiment eliminates the lifting table 4 in the first embodiment, and adds the lifting mechanism 10 for driving the brick clamping manipulator 5 to lift. When the conveying line 1 conveys a pile of plate bricks in place, the upper layer of the whole pile of bricks is clamped by the brick clamping mechanical arm 5, and then the brick clamping mechanical arm 5 is driven by the lifting mechanism 10 to lift so that the whole pile of bricks is divided into an upper layer and a lower layer. After the feeding manipulator has inserted the wing plate of the corner protector into the gap between the upper layer brick and the lower layer brick, the brick clamping manipulator 5 opens the upper layer brick, and the upper layer brick falls down immediately, so as to finish the corner sleeving action. After the whole pile of bricks sleeved with the corner protector is removed, the lifting mechanism 10 drives the brick clamping manipulator 5 to descend and return.

Other structures of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, and will not be described again.

The lifting platform 4, the feeding manipulator 3, the brick clamping manipulator 5 and the lifting mechanism 10 for driving the brick clamping manipulator 5 to lift can adopt conventional mechanical structures. For example, the lifting table 4 can be lifted by a cylinder or a motor through a gear rack mechanism; the feeding manipulator 3 can drive the sucker to move by adopting an air cylinder or a motor; the brick clamping manipulator 5 can adopt an air cylinder or a motor to drive two opposite clamping blocks to clamp a brick body; the lifting mechanism 10 for driving the brick clamping manipulator to lift can drive a base to lift by adopting an air cylinder or a motor, and the brick clamping manipulator 5 is arranged on the base and lifts together with the base. The operation process of the feeding manipulator 3 is not limited to the embodiment of fig. 7 to 9, and the corner protectors stacked in the bin 2 can be fed out one by one, and the wing plates on the corner protectors can be inserted into the gap between the upper and lower bricks at the brick corner positions.

The above examples merely represent a few embodiments of the present utility model, which are described in more detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model. It should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the utility model, which are all within the scope of the utility model. Accordingly, the scope of protection of the present utility model is to be determined by the appended claims.
