Detailed Description
The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, in this specification, the dimensional scale of the drawings does not represent the actual dimensional scale, and is only used for representing the relative position and connection relationship between the components, and the components with the same name or the same number represent similar or identical structures and are only used for illustrative purposes.
Here, a description will be first made of a part of nouns in the present application.
The robot end: for the multi-axis serial mechanical arm type robot used in the present application, one end of the robot is a robot base fixed on the mounting base 524, and the other end is a power head, and a working component for executing a function is mounted, so that the working component can move in a three-dimensional space under the multi-axis coordinated motion. The robot end 56 of the present application refers to the power head side of the robot for mounting the working components.
The working range is as follows: the working range in the application refers to the range that the robot can move through the coordination of all the shafts, so that the power head of the robot can reach in a three-dimensional space. The range is limited by the arm length of each section of the robot and the rotation angle range of each axis of the robot. The diagonal filled part in fig. 1 is a two-dimensional schematic of a typical working range of the robot, and the working range of the robot in three-dimensional space is obtained by rotating the area space shown in the figure by 360 degrees.
In the process of casting the aluminum piston, molten aluminum is poured into a cavity of a casting die, and an aluminum piston casting blank 9 is formed after the molten aluminum is solidified. As shown in fig. 2, the resulting aluminum piston billet 9 generally consists of a casting body 91 and a pouring head 92. The casting body 91 is the part that is needed to be left for subsequent finish machining and shaping to obtain the aluminum piston body, and the pouring riser 92 is the technological characteristic of the casting process and needs to be removed. When a lower core-pulling type casting mold is adopted in view of uniform cooling of the aluminum piston, the ingate is generally disposed at the bottom, thereby forming the pouring head 92 in the shape of an upper L as shown in fig. 1.
The utility model provides an automatic casting system of aluminium piston provides a full-automatic production line who obtains casting body 91 from the aluminium water pouring to the riser cutting. The production line realizes the automatic unmanned operation of the whole process of pouring, casting, demoulding, quenching and riser cutting in the aluminum piston casting. As shown in fig. 3, the automatic aluminum piston casting system of the present application includes an aluminum water holding furnace 1, at least one casting facility 2, a quenching device 3, a riser cutting system 4, a pouring robot system 5 for transferring a work (aluminum liquid, an aluminum piston casting blank 9, etc.), and an aluminum piston transferring device 6. In fig. 3, two casting machines 2 and associated quenching devices 3 and riser cutting systems 4 are provided, but it should be particularly described that, since the production timings of the processes performed by the casting machines 2, quenching devices 3, riser cutting systems 4, and casting robot systems 5 are different, the number of the respective systems can be set reasonably in consideration of line balance in order to maximize the production efficiency of the automatic production line, and the production timings of the respective processes in the systems are substantially the same, thereby reducing the influence of the bottleneck process. For clarity of illustration, the aluminum piston transfer device 6 is not shown in fig. 3, and reference may be made in particular to fig. 8 and 9 below.
The aluminum water holding furnace 1 is used for holding molten aluminum water and preserving heat to avoid solidification of the molten aluminum water, the casting equipment 2 is provided with a casting mold 21 for casting an aluminum piston casting blank 9, and the aluminum water holding furnace 1 and the casting mold 21 are both arranged in the working range of the casting robot system 5. As shown in fig. 4, the casting robot system 5 includes a six-axis robot body 51, an additional shaft assembly 52 provided at an end of the six-axis robot body 51, and an aluminum water container 53 provided on the additional shaft assembly 52, a robot end 56 of the six-axis robot body 51 has a robot sixth axis 5s6, and a rotation axis of the additional shaft assembly 52 is perpendicular to the robot sixth axis 5s6. One is that the aluminum water container 53 needs to be directly contacted with the high-temperature molten aluminum, and is not suitable for directly arranging the aluminum water container 53 at the end of the casting robot system 5, otherwise the sixth axis 5s6 of the robot will be directly contacted with the molten aluminum water, and mechanical interference will occur, and furthermore, since the scooping operation and the dumping operation have requirements on the motion orientation and the motion rotation axis, the sixth axis 5s6 of the robot will be occupied, and the actual working range is greatly reduced. The casting mold 21 is provided in the form of a lower core, leaving an area above the casting apparatus 2 as a movable space for the pouring robot system 5 and other movable parts.
In the embodiment of the present application, the six-axis robot body 51 is in the form of a six-axis serial robot arm, which is fixed at the bottom to a robot base 59, on the robot end 56 of which an additional axis assembly 52 is mounted. The additional shaft assembly 52 comprises an elongated bracket 521, one end of the elongated bracket 521 is fixed with the robot end 56 of the six-shaft robot body 51, and a power box 522 is fixedly arranged at the end. The power box 522 includes a servo motor therein, and a harmonic reducer coaxially mounted with the servo motor. A seventh shaft 523 is provided at the other end of the six-axis robot body 51, and a mounting seat 524 for installing the aluminum water container 53 is provided at a rotation end of the seventh shaft 523. An output shaft of the speed reducer of the power box 522 passes through the extension bracket 521 to connect and drive the seventh shaft 523 to rotate. This headstock 522 is used for driving seventh axle 523, because harmonic speed reducer ware wherein has characteristics small, that the precision is high, can guarantee to install smoothly at robot end 56, also can guarantee to carry out accurate control to the process of empting/ladling of aluminium water container 53.
As the pouring process proceeds, the molten aluminum level in the molten aluminum holding furnace 1 gradually decreases, so that the molten aluminum container 53 needs to automatically adapt to the decrease of the molten aluminum level when performing the scooping process, therefore, the liquid level sensing device 54 is disposed on the mounting seat 524 and in the same direction as the opening direction of the molten aluminum container 53, the liquid level sensing device 54 at least includes a liquid level limit sensing device 542 for detecting the immersion of the opening of the molten aluminum container 53 below the liquid level, and optionally a liquid level contact sensing device 541 for detecting the contact liquid level at the bottom of the molten aluminum container 53 may also be disposed. The sensor types of the liquid level limit sensing device 542 and the liquid level contact sensing device 541 can be selected according to the situation, and are generally any electrical sensor which triggers the resistance change of the sensor or the on-off of the circuit through contacting the page, such as metal conductors, carbon rods and other materials which are difficult to resist high temperature and have good electrical conductivity. Specifically, the trigger position of the liquid level contact sensing device 541 is set 0-5 mm below the bottom of the molten aluminum container 53 to detect the contact level of the bottom of the molten aluminum container 53, and the liquid level limit sensing device 542 is set 0-5 mm above the opening of the molten aluminum container 53 to detect the immersion level of the molten aluminum container 53. In the reasonable ladling process, after the bottom of the aluminum water container 53 is detected to contact the liquid level, the pouring robot system 5 is controlled to slow down and downwards probe the aluminum water, so that the aluminum water splashing caused by the too high speed is avoided, the tail end 56 of the robot and the additional shaft assembly 52 are polluted/damaged, and meanwhile, the waste caused by the aluminum water splashing is also avoided. After the opening of the molten aluminum container 53 is detected to be immersed below the liquid level, the pouring robot system 5 is controlled to stop downward detection, the molten aluminum container is kept at the current position for a proper time, and then the molten aluminum container is lifted up to keep the molten aluminum container 53 horizontal and moved to the pouring position.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a quenching apparatus 3 in the automatic aluminum piston casting system of the present application, which includes a quenching box 31 and a lifting and lowering plate 32, and the quenching box 31 contains a quenching medium, and the lifting and lowering plate 32 is configured to move up and down and is used for supporting an aluminum piston casting blank 9. Specifically, the aluminum piston casting blank 9 at least has two stop positions, namely a first working position 3s1 and a second working position 3s2, wherein the first working position 3s1 is located below the liquid level of the quenching medium in the quenching box 31, and the quenching medium can completely immerse the aluminum piston casting blank 9 to achieve the best quenching effect, and the second working position 3s2 is located above the liquid level of the quenching medium. In the quenching process, the lifting pallet 32 receives the aluminum piston casting blank 9 from the aluminum piston transfer device 6 at the second working position 3s 2. And then the casting blank is lowered to the first working position 3s1, the aluminum piston casting blank 9 is completely immersed by the quenching medium, after the aluminum piston casting blank 9 is rapidly cooled, the lifting support plate 32 returns to the second working position 3s2 again, and the aluminum piston casting blank 9 returns to the aluminum piston transfer device 6.
In addition, as shown in fig. 6, the material performance of the aluminum piston casting blank 9 is further optimized by controlling the quenching process of the aluminum piston casting blank 9, that is, in addition to the quenching process using the above-mentioned single-stage quenching, a multi-stage quenching process may be adopted in the present application. A third working position 3s3 and a fourth working position 3s4 are provided in the quenching tank 31 at a certain distance in the vertical direction. Meanwhile, a first quenching medium and a second quenching medium which are not mutually soluble, such as water and quenching oil, are used, the quenching media are naturally layered in the quenching box 31 according to density due to the fact that the quenching media are not mutually soluble, and the aluminum piston casting blank 9 is respectively immersed in the two quenching media at a third working position 3s3 and a fourth working position 3s4 through control over the volume and the using amount of the quenching media, so that graded quenching is achieved. The lifting supporting plate 32 is controlled to stay in each quenching medium for different time, so that the temperature of the aluminum piston casting blank 9 is reduced in a gradient manner, and the material performance after quenching is improved. It should be noted that the fact that the lifting and lowering plate 32 is disposed inside the quenching box 31 only means the position of the movable range of the lifting and lowering plate 32 in the quenching box 31 and the portion right above the quenching box 31, and does not mean that the lifting and lowering mechanism for driving the quenching box 31 must be disposed inside the quenching box 31, and fig. 5 only shows the arrangement of the lifting and lowering mechanism inside the quenching box 31. The quenching process of the aluminum piston casting blank 9 can be conveniently and accurately controlled by arranging the lifting support plate 32 and controlling the lifting motion of the lifting support plate 32, and the precise control of the quenching time is ensured.
