Description

Brick posture inverter

The present invention relates to a brick posture converting apparatus for converting a posture of a brick continuously produced in a firebrick molding press into a posture suitable for loading into an automated equipment in the following process.

The robot for brick transfer is installed in close proximity to the brick forming press and moves bricks formed at a constant and short time interval (about 11-30 sec / cycle) to another conveyor or palletizes on various pallets. In this case, the brick formed from the brick forming press is discharged in an unsuitable posture for various loading, and it is necessary to change the posture to a suitable posture.

The conventional apparatus used for this purpose can be seen in the figure of FIG.

This is done by placing the conveyor (b) in front of the molding press (a) and allowing the bricks mounted on the conveyor to pass through the brush (c), then converting the posture with the posture changer (d), and then the next conveyor (e). ) Was transferred to the trolley using a four-axis robot (f).

However, the conventional posture converting device as described above is a four-axis dedicated machine to lift the bricks one by one to change the posture, so when two bricks are molded at the same time, the posture converting work must be performed twice, which requires a lot of work time. In addition, since the two conveyors are constantly driven, the occupancy space is large, and there are many disadvantages due to contamination due to hydraulic use.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the various problems of the prior art as the main object of the invention is to enable to change the posture of the two bricks are formed at once at the same time, and also to change the interval of the posture conversion brick By adjusting it properly, it is possible to realize pallet loading work in a short space in a short time.

And the main configuration for this is a vertical frame, and a horizontal frame fixed horizontally from the top of the vertical frame, the lifting operation mechanism supported by the horizontal frame, provided on the base member being elevated by the above-mentioned lifting operation mechanism With a pair of support brackets, a pair of horizontal rotating mechanisms inherent in both brackets of the above-mentioned gap adjusting mechanism, a clamping mechanism provided under the brackets, and a rotating mechanism attached to the clamping mechanism. It consists of the left and right reversal mechanisms made up so that the distance can be adjusted while converting the postures of two or more bricks at the same time.

The posture converting device 1 of the present invention is roughly divided into a lifting mechanism 2, a brick gap adjusting mechanism 3, and inversion mechanisms 4A and 4B, and the inversion bottom mechanism 4A described above. (4B) consists of a horizontal rotating mechanism (5), a clamping mechanism (6) and a rotating mechanism (7).

As shown in FIG. 4, the elevating operation mechanism 2 includes a main pneumatic cylinder 24 having a base member 23 fixed to a chuck rod 25 installed in the center of the horizontal frame 22, and a case 26. ) Is vertically fixed to the soopyeong frame 22, and the vertical axis 27 fitted therein is fixed to the base member 23, and consists of a vertical guide for guiding the lifting of the base member.

As shown in FIG. 4, the gap adjusting mechanism 3 is installed at both left and right sides of the bottom of the base member 23, but the left bracket 3a is fixed to the base member 23, and the right bracket 3b is provided. ) Is provided to be slidable, and consists of a horizontal pneumatic cylinder 31 for sliding the bracket 3b.

The horizontal rotation mechanism 5 of the inversion mechanism 4A and 4B is rotated in which the shaft 51 protrudes downward while being respectively embedded in the left and right brackets 3a and 3b of the gap adjusting mechanism 3. It consists of a cylinder 52 and the II type support member 53 fixed to this rotating cylinder shaft 51.

The clamping mechanism 6 of the reversing mechanisms 4A and 4B has a horizontal axis 61 intersecting between the lower ends of the type II supporting member 53, and left and right sides which can be moved left and right while being inserted on this horizontal axis. Interlocking mechanism for fixing the ball bushes 62 on both sides, and the ball bushes 63a and 63b extending downward while facing each other to simultaneously operate the jaws 63a and 63b. (60), a thin pneumatic cylinder (64) capable of pushing or pulling any one of the above-described ball bushes (62).

The rotating mechanism 7 of the inverting mechanisms 4a and 4b is installed at both ends of the jaws 63a and 63b of the clamping mechanism 6, but is rotated through the bearing at one end of the jaw 63b. This driven pad 71 and the end of the other jaw 63a are fixed to the rotating pneumatic cylinder 73, and are formed of a driving pad 72 extending inwardly.

The following describes the operating state of the present invention configured as described above.

First, when a pair of bricks (b) is placed on the conveyor (c) of FIG. 3 as shown in (a) of FIG. 8, the clamping mechanism 6 clamps it.

As shown in FIG. 4, the clamping mechanism 6 is a side in which the thin pneumatic cylinder 64 is operated to be fitted to the horizontal axis 61 when both side inverting mechanisms 4a and 4b are positioned side by side. Since the ball bush 62 is pushed, the distance between the jaws 63a and 63b on both sides becomes closer, so that the bricks at the positions between the jaws 63a and 63b on both sides can be clamped.

At this time, the linkage mechanism 60 is used to ensure that the center of the clamped brick is always in the center of the horizontal rotating mechanism (5).

The interlock mechanism 60 is a pivoting arm 65 inserted into the rotation cylinder 52 shaft 51 of the inverting mechanisms 4A and 4B, and a link 66 connected to each other so as to be foldable at both ends of the pivoting arm. After the configuration, the ends of the link 66 are connected to the upper surface of the ball bush 62 by the connecting pins 67. As shown in FIG. 6, the ball bush 62 on one side has a thin pneumatic cylinder 64. When moving to the center (or vice versa) by the link 66 connected to it rotates the pivot arm 65, the opposite link 66 is also moved as much as the pivot arm 65 is turned, and eventually the ball bush on the opposite side (62) is also moved to the center (or vice versa) so that both jaws (63a) and (63b) on both sides can be moved equally toward the center (or to the opposite side), which is effective and can be clamped so that the center does not move.

When clamping is performed, the brick b is lifted by the lifting actuating mechanism 2.

That is, as shown in (c) of FIG. 8, when the main high pressure cylinder 24 inserts the rod 25, the vertical shafts 27 on both sides of the base member 23 are exactly vertically guided by the case 26. You can climb in the direction.

After the ascending operation is performed, the rotary mechanism 7 is turned upright as shown in FIG.

That is, the rotary mechanism 7 is a rotary pneumatic cylinder 73 installed in each outer jaw (63a) in the state that the jaw (63a) (63b) is clamped by the movement is made to rotate exactly 90, and thus the motive pad ( The brick clamped between 72 and the driven pad 71 is rotated in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

When the rotation is made, the horizontal rotating mechanism 5 horizontally rotates the brick b as shown in FIG.

In the horizontal rotating mechanism 5, when the rotating cylinder 52 embedded in both brackets 3a and 3b is operated, the rotating cylinder shaft 51 extending below is rotated, and the rotating cylinder shaft 51 By turning exactly 90, the II type supporting member 53 fixed to the rotating cylinder shaft 51 turns, so that the clamping mechanism 6 turns exactly 90 to rotate the brick horizontally. The horizontal rotating mechanism 5 on the left side rotates in the clockwise direction and the horizontal rotating mechanism 5 on the right side operates so as not to interfere with each other.

After the horizontal rotation is made, the gap adjusting mechanism 3 narrows the distance between both bricks B to an appropriate distance as shown in FIG.

This causes the horizontal pneumatic cylinder 31 to actuate the right bracket 3b with the reference side bracket 3a in the air so that the gap t between the two bricks can be matched with the set clearance value of the robot hand.

Next, the lifting operation mechanism 2 operates in reverse to lower the brick b as shown in FIG. 8 (bar).

That is, the main pneumatic cylinder 24 of the elevating operation mechanism 2 described above extends the rod 25 and lowers the base member 23 so that the inversion mechanisms 4A and 4B descend. At this time, it is very important to land the brick (B) so as not to be damaged, it is preferable to put down the falling position of the brick while detecting the photoelectric sensor (not shown).

And with the completion of the descent of the brick (b) releases the clamping as shown in Fig. 8 (g).

Disengagement of the clamping is also contrary to the clamping operation described above, when the thin pneumatic cylinder 64 of the clamping mechanism 6 performs the reverse operation, the ball bush 62 on one side is reversed, and the two side jaws ( The 63a) and 63b retreat at the same distance and release the clamping of the brick.

As described in detail above, the present invention can perform posture transformation of the wall, and simultaneously change and move the bricks produced two by one, which greatly shortens the working time, and also takes very little work space, especially bricks of various sizes. In addition to the advantages that can be applied to the common use of the standard, as well as easy to operate the equipment, durable environmental resistance can not contribute significantly to the improvement of the productivity of the brick.
