[0056] The present invention proposes an automated production line 1000 .

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the automated production line 1000 is used to process a bottom plate. The automated production line 1000 includes a material dividing device 100, a deburring device 300, and a stamping device 500, which are arranged in sequence.

[0059] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide a first material moving device 200 between the material dividing device 100 and the deburring device 300, and to provide a second material moving device 400 between the deburring device 300 and the stamping and forming device 500. The material dividing device 100 separates the bottom plate from the bottom material, and the first material moving device 200 transfers the bottom plate after separation from the bottom material, and adjusts the orientation of the bottom plate to be consistent during the transfer process, and then feeds the bottom plate to the deburring device 300 for deburring; the second material moving device 400 loads and unloads the bottom plate from the deburring device 300, and then flips the bottom plate to be processed to face upward during the transfer process, and feeds the bottom plate to the stamping and forming device 500 for stamping and forming; the tapping device 800 unloads the bottom plate after stamping and taps the bottom plate to form a finished bottom plate. In the technical solution of the present invention, the first material moving device 200 and the second material moving device 400 can replace manual operation to realize rapid and continuous automatic movement, direction adjustment or flipping of the base plate during the processing process, which can effectively improve the production efficiency of the base plate and reduce labor costs.

[0060] The bottom plate in the embodiment of the present invention can be a car bottom plate, a power saw bottom plate, or other plate material. The power saw bottom plate is a key component of the power saw, serving as a carrier for securing components and adjusting cutting angles. The power saw bottom plate processed in the embodiment of the present invention is generally rectangular.

[0061] The material dividing device 100 in the embodiment of the present invention is used to separate the blank of the base plate from the base material; the deburring device 300 is used to simultaneously deburr one or more surfaces of the separated base plate; the first material moving device 200 adjusts the direction of the base plate so that the base plate can be adapted to the deburring die; the stamping and forming device 500 is used to stamp the base plate to obtain the shape of the finished base plate. Among them, the material dividing device 100, the deburring device 300 and the stamping and forming device 500 can be arranged in sequence, and the first material moving device 200 and the second material moving device 400 are respectively arranged in the gaps between the material dividing device 100, the deburring device 300 and the stamping and forming device 500; in addition, the material dividing device 100, the deburring device 300 and the stamping and forming device 500 can also be connected, and the first material moving device 200 and the second material moving device 400 are overlapped between adjacent devices. The material dividing device 100, the deburring device 300 and the stamping device 500 in the embodiment of the present invention are all existing devices, and the structures and working principles of the material dividing device 100, the deburring device 300 and the stamping device 500 are not described in detail here.

[0062] Reference Figure 1In one embodiment of the present invention, the automated production line 1000 further includes: a shaping device 700, which is arranged on a side of the tapping device 800 close to the stamping and forming device 500; and a third material moving device 600, which is arranged between the stamping and forming device 500 and the shaping device 700, and the third material moving device 600 unloads the base plate from the stamping and forming device 500 and loads it to the shaping device 700.

[0063] In the technical solution of one embodiment of the present invention, the shaping device 700 detects and adjusts the flatness, parallelism, position, and appearance of the base plate to ensure the quality of the base plate. The shaping device 700 is also an existing device, and the structure and working principle of the shaping device 700 are not described in detail.

[0064] In addition, a third material moving device 600 is also provided between the shaping device 700 and the stamping forming device 500. The third material moving device 600 has the same function as the first material moving device 200 and the second material moving device 200. They both replace manual labor to provide uninterrupted material moving operations, which can further improve the production efficiency of the base plate.

[0065] Reference Figure 1 Since the tonnage of the molds in different devices such as the material dividing device 100, the deburring device 300, and the stamping and forming device 500 is different, the heights of their work tables are also different. Specifically, the work table of the material dividing device 100 is higher than the work table of the deburring device 300, the work table of the deburring device 300 and the work table of the stamping and forming device 500 are of the same height, the work table of the stamping and forming device 500 is higher than the work table of the shaping device 700, and the work table of the tapping device 800 is lower than the work table of the shaping device 700.

[0066] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the material dividing device 100, the first material moving device 200, the deburring device 300, the second material moving device 400, the stamping device 500, the third material moving device 600, the shaping device 700, and the tapping device 800 are arranged in a straight line.

[0067] In the technical solution of one embodiment of the present invention, the multiple devices between the automated production line 1000 are set to a structure arranged along a straight line, which can facilitate the unimpeded transmission of the base plate between the multiple devices and improve the smoothness of the base plate transmission process. At the same time, it can also simplify the structure of each material transfer device, reduce the movement stroke of each mechanism of the material transfer device during the material transfer process, and improve the efficiency of material transfer.

[0068] Reference Figure 2In one embodiment of the present invention, the first material moving device 200 includes: a first conveying mechanism 210, which extends from the material dividing device 100 to the direction of the deburring device 300; a first material receiving component 220, one end of the first material receiving component 220 is connected to the first conveying mechanism 210, and the other end extends to the material dividing device 100; a steering mechanism 230, which is provided on one side of the first conveying mechanism 210, and the steering mechanism 230 is used to adjust the direction of the bottom plate conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 210 so that the orientation of the bottom plate is consistent; and a first loading robot 240, which is located on one side of the first conveying mechanism 210 and is provided close to the deburring device 300.

[0069] In the technical solution of one embodiment of the present invention, the first material transfer device 200 further includes a frame, which can be formed into a framework structure. A platform is mounted on the frame. The platform primarily provides a carrier for various mechanisms, such as the first conveyor mechanism 210, the first material receiving assembly 220, and the first loading robot 240. The frame also houses electronic control devices for controlling the operation of each mechanism, as well as an operator control panel. Furthermore, the platform has a longitudinal direction, and the conveyor mechanism is fixedly mounted on the surface of the platform. The conveying direction of the first conveyor mechanism 210 extends along the longitudinal direction of the platform.

[0070] The first conveying mechanism 210 can be a belt conveying structure, specifically, the belt conveying structure includes a plurality of pulleys, guide rails, a transmission belt, and a belt drive. The guide rails are extended along the length direction of the machine, the plurality of pulleys are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the guide rails, the conveyor belt is sleeved on the surface of the plurality of pulleys, and the bottom plate is placed on the surface of the transmission belt; the belt drive is a motor, the motor is connected to the pulleys and drives the conveyor belt to move relative to the machine to convey the bottom plate, thereby realizing the automatic material transfer operation of the bottom plate between adjacent processing devices and improving the material transfer efficiency. It can be understood that the first conveying mechanism 210 can also be a chain conveying structure, as long as it can realize the automatic material transfer operation of the bottom plate between adjacent processing devices, and the first conveying mechanism 210 is not specifically limited here.

[0071] Furthermore, since the working surface of the material dividing device 100 is higher than the working surface of the deburring device 300, in order to facilitate the transmission of the base plate, the machine surface of the first material moving device 200 is also lower than the working surface of the material dividing device 100. Therefore, a first material receiving component 220 is required to automatically feed the blank of the electric saw base plate after separation from the base material into the first conveying mechanism 210 for transmission. Specifically, the first material receiving component 220 includes: a conveyor belt 221, which is arranged above the first conveying mechanism 210; a first material receiving tray 222, which is located above the conveyor belt 221 and is connected to one end of the conveyor belt 221 close to the material dividing device 100, and the first material receiving tray 222 extends to the material dividing device 100 and is inclined from the material dividing device 100 toward the conveyor belt 221; and a second material receiving tray 223, which is located below the conveyor belt 221, and the second material receiving tray 223 is inclined from the conveyor belt 221 toward the first conveying mechanism 210, and the two ends of the second material receiving tray 223 are respectively connected to the conveyor belt 221 and the first conveying mechanism 210. Among them, the conveying direction of the transmission belt is set horizontally, and the first receiving tray 222 and the second receiving tray 223 are set at an angle. In this way, the bottom plate blank after being separated from the bottom material can automatically slide into the conveyor belt 221 along the inclined direction of the first receiving tray 222 under the action of gravity. The conveyor belt 221 moves the bottom plate blank to the second receiving tray 223. Since the second receiving tray 223 is also set at an angle, the bottom plate can also automatically slide into the first conveying mechanism 210 along the inclined direction of the second receiving tray 223 under the action of gravity. In this way, the structure of the first receiving assembly 220 is simple and easy to implement. In addition, the setting of the first receiving assembly 220 can also effectively reduce the length of the frame. In addition, by setting the first receiving assembly 220, the setting of the unloading robot can also be reduced, simplifying the structure of the first material moving device 200.

[0072] Reference Figure 2The steering mechanism 230 includes: a mounting frame 231, which is fixed to the machine platform; a first lifting assembly 232, which is fixed to the mounting frame 231; and an adsorption assembly, which is rotatably connected to the first lifting assembly 232. The adsorption assembly is used to adsorb the bottom plate and can rotate relative to the first lifting assembly 232 to adjust the direction of the bottom plate. It should be noted that the adsorption assembly is provided with a first rotating shaft and an adsorption member 233. Among them, the first lifting assembly 232 is a linear motor or a driving cylinder, which is not limited here. The adsorption member 233 can be a vacuum suction cup or an electromagnetic suction cup. The first rotating shaft is vertically arranged, the top end of the first rotating shaft is connected to the lifting assembly, and the bottom end of the first rotating shaft is connected to the adsorption member 233. The adsorption member 233 adsorbs the bottom plate conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 210 and rotates along the central axis of the first rotating shaft as the rotation center to adjust the direction of the bottom plate so that the orientation of the bottom plate is consistent. Specifically, the rotation angle of the adsorption component can be 90 degrees or 180 degrees, which is not limited here.

[0073] Reference Figure 2 The first loading robot 240 is arranged at one end of the first conveying mechanism 210 close to the deburring device 300. In this way, the first loading robot 240 can be located on the first conveying mechanism 210 and is used to clamp the bottom plate with adjusted steering and place it on the deburring device 300 for deburring. By using the first loading robot 240 to replace manual loading, the loading efficiency can be improved. Specifically, the structure of the first loading robot 240 includes: a linear mechanism 242, which is fixed to the machine platform through a fixed frame 241, and the driving direction of the linear mechanism 242 is set along the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 210. Among them, the linear mechanism 242 is a linear motor, and the motor part of the linear motor is fixed to the machine platform through a fixed frame 241. The slide part of the linear motor is fixed with a second lifting assembly 423. The mechanism and working principle of the second lifting assembly 423 are the same as those of the first lifting assembly 232, and will not be repeated here. The second lifting assembly 423 is also connected to a first clamping member 244. This can be a pneumatic gripper or an electromagnetic chuck, as long as it can lift the base plate and place it on the processing equipment. By using the first loading robot 240 to directly place the base plate on the next processing station, loading efficiency is improved, thereby increasing production efficiency.

[0074] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4In one embodiment of the present invention, the second material moving device 400 includes: a second conveying mechanism 410, which extends from the deburring device 300 toward the stamping and forming device 500; a first unloading robot 430, which is arranged on one side of the second conveying mechanism 410 and is close to the deburring device 300; a second loading robot 440, which is located on one side of the second conveying mechanism 410 and is close to the shaping device 700; and a flipping mechanism 420, which is arranged on one side of the second conveying mechanism 410 and is located between the first unloading robot 430 and the second loading robot 440.

[0075] In the technical solution of one embodiment of the present invention, the second material moving device 400 also includes a frame, and the structure of the frame is the same as the frame structure of the first material moving device 200. In addition, the second conveying mechanism 410 is the same as the structure of the first conveying mechanism 210. The structure and working principle of the first unloading robot 430 and the second loading robot 440 are the same as the first loading robot 240, and will not be repeated here. It is understandable that the frames of the first material moving device 200 and the second material moving device 400 are respectively independently provided, and the frames of the first material moving device 200 and the second material moving device 400 can also share the same frame, which is not limited here.

[0076] The flip mechanism 420 comprises a third lifting assembly 421, which is mounted on the machine platform; a rotating assembly 422, which is mounted on the third lifting assembly 421; and a clamping assembly 423, which is connected to the rotating assembly 422. At least a portion of the clamping assembly 423 extends into the second conveying mechanism 410 to clamp or release the bottom plate. The third lifting assembly 421 can be a driving cylinder, whose cylinder body is fixed to the bottom of the machine platform and has a clearance opening on the machine platform surface. The piston rod of the driving cylinder passes through the clearance opening and extends out of the top surface of the machine platform. The rotating assembly 422 is connected to the piston rod and is located on the top surface of the machine platform. The driving cylinder is actuated to cause the piston rod to drive the rotating assembly 422 and the clamping assembly 423 to rise or fall relative to the machine platform. The driving portion of the third lifting assembly 421 is located on the bottom of the machine platform, which effectively reduces the height of the third lifting assembly 421 and reduces the structure on the machine platform surface, thereby providing more space on the machine platform surface.

[0077] In some embodiments, to improve the stability of the third lifting assembly 421, a slide rail 425 and a slider 426 may be provided on the machine. The slide rail 425 is vertically arranged, and the slider 426 is slidably connected to the slide rail 425 and connected to the piston rod of the drive cylinder. The rotating assembly 422 is fixed to the slider 426, and the drive cylinder is actuated to drive the rotating assembly 422 and the clamping assembly 423 to rise or fall relative to the machine. A fixing plate 424 is also provided on the upper surface of the machine, and the slide rail 425 is fixedly connected to the machine via the fixing plate 424, thereby improving the stability of the slide rail 425. The structure and operating principle of the third lifting assembly 421 can be the same as those of the first lifting assembly 232 and the second lifting assembly 423, and will not be repeated here.

[0078] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rotating assembly 422 in the technical solution of this embodiment can be a rotating cylinder. The rotating cylinder includes a cylinder body and a second rotating shaft 4222, wherein a portion is fixed to the third lifting assembly 421. A gear and a rack are provided inside the cylinder body of the rotating cylinder. One end of the second rotating shaft 4222 is connected to the gear transmission, and the other end is fixed with a clamping assembly 423. The rack in the cylinder body moves to drive the gear to drive the second rotating shaft 4222 and the clamping assembly 423 to perform a flipping motion. It should be noted that the second rotating shaft 4222 is horizontally arranged and has an angle of 90 degrees with the extension direction of the second conveying mechanism 410. The clamping assembly 423 rotates with the central axis of the second rotating shaft 4222 as the rotation center.

[0079] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The clamping assembly 423 in this embodiment includes a clamping drive 4231 and two second clamping members 4233. The clamping drive 4231 is fixed to the end of the second rotating shaft 4222 away from the third lifting assembly 421. The two second clamping members 4233 are both connected to the clamping drive 4231 and arranged opposite each other. The two second clamping members 4233 can extend into the inner side of the conveying guide rail of the second conveying mechanism 410. The two second clamping members 4233 are respectively located above and below the supporting platform of the second conveying mechanism 410. The clamping drive 4231 drives the two second clamping members 4233 to move closer or farther to clamp or release the base plate. It is understood that the clamping assembly 423 can be a pneumatic finger, wherein the cylinder portion of the pneumatic finger forms the clamping drive 4231 of the clamping assembly 423, and the finger portion of the pneumatic finger forms the second clamping member 4233 of the clamping assembly 423. Specifically, the clamping assembly 423 may also be an electric clamp, wherein the main body of the electric clamp forms the clamping drive 4231 of the clamping assembly 423, and the clamping portion of the electric clamp forms the second clamping member 4233 of the clamping assembly 423. Among them, one of the two second clamping members 4233 is located above the carrier platform of the second conveying mechanism 410, and the other second clamping member 4233 is located below the carrier platform. The clamping drive 4231 is fixed to the end of the second rotating shaft 4222 away from the third lifting assembly 421. The clamping drive 4231 is actuated to drive the two second clamping members 4233 to move toward or away from each other, thereby clamping or releasing the bottom plate conveyed by the second conveying mechanism 410.

[0080] Furthermore, each second clamping member 4233 comprises a connecting member 4233a and a clamping plate 4233b. One end of the connecting member 4233a is connected to the clamping drive member 4231, and the other end extends to the inside of the conveying guide rail of the second conveying mechanism 410. The clamping plate 4233b is connected to the end of the connecting member 4233a away from the clamping drive member 4231 and is located inside the second conveying mechanism 410. The connecting member 4233a is a rod-shaped structure made of metal. Specifically, a notch is provided in the guide rail, through which the connecting rod extends inside the second conveying mechanism 410. The shape and size of the two clamping plates 4233b can be customized to suit the shape and size of the base plate. It is understood that the clamping plates 4233b and the connecting rod can be detachably connected via threads or snap-fits. This allows the clamping plates 4233b to be replaced with base plates of different sizes and materials, thereby enhancing the versatility of the clamping assembly 423.

[0081] Specifically, the working process of the flipping mechanism 420 is that when the bottom plate conveyed on the second conveying mechanism 410 is conveyed to the bottom of the flipping mechanism 420, the clamping driving member 4231 drives the two second clamping members 4233 to move closer to each other to clamp the bottom plate conveyed on the second conveying mechanism 410, and then the third lifting assembly 421 drives the rotating assembly 422 and the clamping assembly 423 to move upward together, so that the clamping assembly 423 is suspended above the second conveying mechanism 410, and then the rotating cylinder drives the clamping assembly 423 and the clamped bottom plate to flip. Movement, the specific rotation angle can be 90° or 180°. The flipping angle of the base plate is not limited here. As long as the surface to be processed of the base plate is flipped to face upward, the third lifting component 421 drives the rotating component 422 and the clamping component 423 to move downward together, so that the base plate is set close to the supporting platform. The clamping driving component 4231 drives the two second clamping components 4233 to move away from each other to release the base plate conveyed on the second conveying mechanism 410, so that the flipped base plate can continue to be conveyed on the second conveying mechanism 410.

[0082] Reference Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the third material moving device 600 includes: a third conveying mechanism 610, which extends from the stamping and forming device 500 toward the shaping device 700; a second unloading robot 630, which is arranged on one side of the third conveying mechanism 610 and close to the stamping and forming device; a third loading robot 640, which is located on one side of the third conveying mechanism 610 and close to the shaping device 700; and a second material receiving component 620, which is arranged above the third conveying mechanism 610 and close to the second unloading robot 630, and the second material receiving component 620 is inclined from the second unloading robot 630 to the third conveying mechanism 610.

[0083] In the technical solution of one embodiment of the present invention, the third material moving device 600 also includes a frame, and the function of the frame is the same as that of the first material moving device 200 and the second material moving device 400, which will not be repeated here. In addition, the structure and function of the third conveying mechanism 610 can also be the same as those of the first conveying mechanism 210 and the second conveying mechanism 410, and the structure and working principle of the second unloading manipulator 630 and the third loading manipulator 640 are the same as those of the first loading manipulator 240, which will not be repeated here. It can be understood that the frames of the first material moving device 200, the second material moving device 400, and the third material moving device 600 are independently set, and the frames of the first material moving device 200, the second material moving device 400, and the third material moving device 600 can also share the same frame, which is not limited here.

[0084] The height of the machine platform of the third material moving device 600 is lower than the working platform of the shaping device 700, and the working platform of the stamping and forming device 500 is higher than the working platform of the shaping device 700. Therefore, when the second unloading manipulator 630 unloads the bottom plate from the stamping and forming device 500 to the third material moving device 600, the second unloading manipulator 630 has a larger stroke in the vertical direction. Therefore, a second material receiving assembly 620 is provided above the third conveying mechanism 610. Specifically, the second material receiving assembly 620 includes a first segment body 621 connected to the first segment body 622. and the second section 622, wherein the first section 621 is horizontally arranged; the second section 622 is located below the first section 621, and the second section 622 is also connected to the third conveying mechanism 610, and the second section 622 is inclined. After the second unloading robot 630 unloads the bottom plate to the first section 621, the bottom plate can automatically slide into the third conveying mechanism 610 under the action of gravity, thereby reducing the vertical stroke of the second unloading robot 630, improving the unloading efficiency, and thus improving production efficiency.

[0085] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the tapping device 800 includes: a feed guide rail 820, the feed guide rail 820 is provided with a feed end 821 and a discharge end 822, and the feed end 821 is arranged close to the shaping device 700; a third unloading robot 810, the third unloading robot 810 is arranged close to the feed end 821; a feeding mechanism 830, the feeding mechanism 830 is retractably arranged at the feed end 821 and is located below the third unloading robot 810; and a tapping mechanism 840, the tapping mechanism 840 is liftably arranged on one side of the feed guide rail 820.

[0086] In the technical solution of one embodiment of the present invention, the tapping device 800 includes a frame with a machine platform. The function of the frame is the same as that of the machine platform in the first material transfer device 200 and will not be further described here. The third unloading robot 810 has the same structure and operating principle as the first loading robot 240 and will not be further described here. The tapping mechanism 840 is an existing mechanism and will not be further described here.

[0087] The feed rails 820 are formed of two profiles spaced apart. Each feed rail 820 includes a bottom plate and a baffle. The baffles have sidewalls with limiting slots 823 disposed opposite each other, forming a space for the bottom plate to pass through. The limiting slots 823 are used to prevent the bottom plate from warping or deflecting during transport.

[0088] The feed mechanism 830 is a drive cylinder, the cylinder body of which is fixed to the machine platform. The piston rod of the drive cylinder moves in the same direction as the feed guide rail 820. The drive pushes the base plate of the feed end 821 under the tapping mechanism 840 for tapping. After tapping is completed, the base plate moves to the discharge end 822.

[0089] It should be noted that in order to prevent the bottom plate from moving during the tapping operation, a positioning mechanism 850 can also be provided on one side of the feed guide rail 820. Specifically, the position of the positioning mechanism 850 corresponds to the position of the tapping mechanism 840, and the positioning mechanism 850 and the tapping mechanism 840 are respectively located on both sides of the feed guide rail 820. The positioning mechanism 850 is telescopically arranged relative to the feed guide rail 820, and can abut the bottom plate to fix the bottom plate under the tapping mechanism 840. It should be noted that the positioning mechanism 850 is a driving cylinder, the cylinder body of the driving cylinder is fixed to the outside of the feed guide rail 820, and the piston rod portion passes through the side plate of the feed guide rail 820 and extends into the inside of the conveying space to fix the bottom plate.

[0090] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the tapping device 800 also includes: a discharge guide rail 870, which is connected to the discharge end 822, and the extension direction of the discharge guide rail 870 is set at an angle to the extension direction of the feed guide rail 820; and a discharge mechanism 860, which is retractably arranged on one side of the discharge end 822, and the discharge mechanism 860 is used to send the bottom plate of the discharge end 822 to the discharge guide rail 870.

[0091] In the technical solution of one embodiment of the present invention, the extension direction of the discharge guide rail 870 forms a 90-degree angle with the extension direction of the feed guide rail 820. The structure of the discharge guide rail 870 can be the same as or different from that of the feed guide rail 820. The side panels of the discharge guide rail 870 do not need to be provided with the limit slots 823. The structure and operating principle of the discharge mechanism 860 are the same as those of the feed mechanism 830. The difference lies in the different movement directions of the discharge mechanism 860 and the feed mechanism 830. This will not be further described here.

[0092] In addition, a fourth conveyor mechanism 880 and a fourth loading robot 890 may be provided on the tapping device 800. The conveying direction of the fourth conveyor mechanism 880 is arranged at an angle of 90 degrees to the extension direction of the discharge guide rail 870. The conveying direction of the fourth conveyor mechanism 880 is the same as the extension direction of the feed guide rail 820. The fourth loading robot 890 is provided between the fourth conveyor mechanism 880 and the discharge guide rail 870 to automatically load the base plate onto the fourth conveyor mechanism 880. In this way, the base plate that has completed the tapping process can be conveyed to the side of the feed end 821, and the packaging or quality inspection station can be set on the side of the feed end 821 to save space.

[0093] In one embodiment of the present invention, the automated production line 1000 is further equipped with multiple position sensors for detecting the position of the bottom plate along the line. For example, position sensors are provided at the feed and discharge ends of each conveyor mechanism, as well as at the feed and discharge ends of the feed rail. Furthermore, position sensors are provided on the steering mechanism 230, the turning mechanism 420, and the tapping mechanism 840. By integrating these position sensors with the various mechanisms of the automated production line 1000, the flexibility of the automated production line 1000 is enhanced.
