[0033] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0034] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 The invention discloses a material discharging structure with a wide range of applications and a lifting and flipping function, comprising a frame 1, a driving mechanism 2, a first material discharging mechanism 3 and a second material discharging mechanism 4.

[0035] The frame 1 is used to be placed on one side of the laser cutting head position of the laser cutting equipment, that is, at the unloading position.

[0036] The driving mechanism is arranged on the frame 1, and the driving mechanism 2 includes a first power output member 21 and a transmission member 22 that is transmission-connected to the first power output member 21. In this embodiment, the first power output member 21 is a motor, and the transmission member 22 is a chain. The motor output shaft has a gear that matches one end of the chain. The motor drives the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the chain to rotate. The other end of the chain also has a gear, and the gear there is arranged on the transmission shaft 5, and the transmission shaft 5 is rotationally arranged on the frame 1, wherein one end of the transmission shaft 5 where the gear is arranged is matched with a roller 31, and when the transmission shaft 5 is driven to rotate by the first power output member 21, the roller 31 rotates accordingly.

[0037] The first unloading mechanism 3 includes a plurality of rollers 31 arranged on the frame. The rollers mentioned in the above text are the rollers in the first unloading mechanism. The rollers have at least two parts, one of which is connected with the transmission shaft 5, and the other is rotatably arranged on the frame 1. The first unloading belt 32 is arranged on the two rollers, that is, after the first power output part 21 is started, the first unloading belt 32 will run accordingly and perform a cyclic action. When a shorter material falls onto the first unloading belt 32, the first unloading belt 32 can drive the material to move and transport it to the corresponding material collection box.

[0038] In this embodiment, corresponding width limiting members 33 are provided at both ends of the rollers rotatably connected to the frame 1. The width limiting members 33 are located at the discharge port to ensure the uniformity of the material when it is discharged.

[0039] In this embodiment, a guide and limit plate 34 is provided on one side of the first material removal belt 32 . The guide and limit plate 34 is preferably arranged on the side of the first material removal belt 32 away from the transmission shaft, and is used to guide and limit the material falling onto the first material removal belt 32 .

[0040] The second unloading mechanism 4 is also arranged on the frame 1, and the second unloading mechanism 4 includes an unloading plate 41 arranged on the frame 1, a transmission shaft 5 connected to the transmission member 22, and a plurality of second unloading belts 42 driven by the transmission shaft 5 to move in a circular motion. The transmission shaft here is the same component as the transmission shaft mentioned above. After the transmission shaft 5 is driven to rotate, it drives all the second unloading belts 42 to move synchronously. A plurality of second unloading belts are arranged, and the second unloading belt is preferably a chain, and a plurality of flat material pieces can be arranged on the chain for stably supporting the material. The second unloading belt can be suitable for unloading materials of different lengths from materials with a longer length;

[0041] For example: Taking the material discharged by the first unloading belt as the basic material, when the material is twice the length of the basic material, the material is unloaded through two second unloading belts; when the material is three times the length of the basic material, the material is unloaded through three second unloading belts, and so on.

[0042] When unloading materials, the unloading plate 41 is in an inclined state, and its inclined lower end is close to the feeding end of the second unloading belt 42, and the gap between the two is smaller than the diameter or width of the material.

[0043] In order to enhance the function of the blanking plate 41, an additional set of driving mechanisms is provided for lifting and flipping the blanking plate 41. After the blanking plate 41 is flipped up and lifted, it can be used to support the suspended end of the outer end of the long material, which helps to improve the accuracy of cutting; after the blanking plate 41 is flipped down and lowered, it is used for unloading materials.

[0044] The driving mechanism includes a fixed plate 61, a second power output member 62, a sliding member 63 and a first connecting rod member 64. The fixed plate 61 is arranged on the frame 1, and the second power output member 62 is arranged on the fixed plate 61. The second power output member 62 is preferably a motor, and its output end passes through a through hole opened on the fixed plate 61 and extends to the other side of the fixed plate 61, and a gear is arranged at the end of this side.

[0045] The sliding member 63 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 61. In this embodiment, a plurality of sliding blocks 611 are fixedly provided on the side of the fixed plate 61 facing the sliding member 63. The sliding blocks 611 have sliding grooves. The sliding member 63 includes a sliding rail 631 that cooperates with the corresponding sliding grooves, that is, the sliding member can slide on the fixed plate through the cooperation of the sliding rail and the sliding groove. In this embodiment, the sliding direction of the sliding member is horizontal sliding.

[0046] In order to facilitate the second power output member 62 to drive the sliding member 63 to slide horizontally, the sliding member 63 also includes a rack 632 that cooperates with the gear set at the output end of the second power output member 62, that is, the gear rotates to drive the rack to move and promote the sliding member to move horizontally.

[0047] The sliding member 63 also includes a cross bar 633, which is located on the frame 1. In this embodiment, the frame 1 has a through hole 11 that provides a moving space for the cross bar 633 and can support the cross bar 633. When the cross bar 633 is at least partially located at the corresponding through hole 11, the frame provides a supporting force in the vertical direction for the cross bar 633.

[0048] A plurality of first connecting rods 64 are rotatably connected to the cross bar 633 , and outer ends of the first connecting rods 64 are cooperatively connected to the blanking plate 41 for lifting and lowering the blanking plate 41 .

[0049] In order to enhance the stability and strength of lifting, a support member 7 is provided, and the unloading plate 41 is rotatably provided on the support member 7. When the support member is provided, the outer end of the first connecting rod member 64 is rotatably connected to the support member 7. At the same time, in order to further enhance the stability and strength of lifting, a second connecting rod member 65 is provided, and one end of the second connecting rod member 65 is rotatably connected to the support member 7. Preferably, the rotation connection point of this end is close to or the same as the rotation connection point of the first connecting rod member, and the other end of the second connecting rod member 65 is rotatably connected to the frame 1.

[0050] In the above structure, after the second power output member 62 is started, it drives the sliding member 63 to move horizontally, and the blanking plate 41 is lifted or lowered by the action of the first connecting rod 64. The lifting or lowering change is achieved by the forward rotation and flipping of the second power output member 62.

[0051] In order to realize the flipping of the blanking plate 41, a plurality of third power output members 71 are arranged on the support member 7. It is best to arrange the third power output members 71 in a uniform distribution. The third power output member is preferably a cylinder. The cylinder pushes outward to realize the flipping of the blanking plate, and contracts to realize the flipping of the blanking plate. Among them, the flipping is controlled to keep the blanking plate parallel to the material, ensuring that the material can be stably supported by the blanking plate.

[0052] When the blanking plate 41 is turned down, in order to prevent the material on the blanking plate from falling too fast and causing damage to the material, a plurality of buffer members 72 are provided on the support member. Preferably, the buffer members 72 are evenly spaced and distributed on the side of the cylinder.

[0053] In order to improve the tightness of the first unloading mechanism 3 and the second unloading mechanism 4, a baffle 81 is rotatably arranged at one side of the unloading plate 41 close to the laser cutting head, and the baffle 81 is controlled to turn up or down by a cylinder 82 arranged on the unloading plate 41 or the support member 7;

[0054] Specifically, when the second unloading mechanism 4 is used, the baffle plate 81 is flipped up to provide an additional support portion for the unloading plate 41. Since this structure needs to be used with a variety of materials, if the baffle plate is not provided, when cutting long materials, the unloading plate cannot provide support force for all positions of the long materials, and a large part of the position will be suspended, which is easy to affect the accuracy of material cutting;

[0055] When using the first unloading mechanism 3, the unloading plate 41 is in a descending and flipping state. At this time, the unloading plate 41 is not needed. At this time, the baffle 81 is still in an upward flipping state, which will block the material from falling onto the first unloading belt. At the same time, when the unloading plate 41 is flipped down, it and the frame form a triangular structure with a certain gap between the two, especially the gap close to the side of the laser cutting head, which is easy to cause the material to fall from the gap. At this time, by flipping down the baffle that can cover the gap, it is ensured that the material can smoothly fall onto the first unloading belt.

[0056] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
