Thin sheet oscillating feeding mechanism, equipment and process

Abstract

This invention discloses a sheet oscillating and distributing mechanism, equipment, and process, relating to sheet metal. The mechanism includes: a rotating shaft for support; an inclined material rod connected at both ends to the rotating shaft for supporting multiple sheet metals arranged in a queue; a drive unit and a swing arm, one end of which is connected to the drive unit and the other end to the rotating shaft; and a distributing unit located on the material rod at the end furthest from the drive unit, including an upwardly movable suction component for suction and transfer of adjacent individual sheet metals. In this invention, by driving the swing arm to oscillate left and right at small angles, the shaft reciprocates at small angles, causing the metal sheet metals on the material rod to oscillate, achieving a loosening effect. This avoids the problem of sheet metals sticking together due to stamping, making individual separation and feeding difficult, and improves the smoothness of feeding.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of feeding technology, and in particular to a thin sheet oscillating and distributing mechanism, equipment and process. Background Technology

[0002] Thin sheet workpieces are generally manufactured by stamping, which results in burrs. Multiple thin sheet workpieces in a flat state are subject to forces that are difficult to separate. During feeding, adjacent thin sheet workpieces may stick together. Since each thin sheet workpiece needs to be fed sequentially, the traditional flat-laying method cannot be used for material distribution, and automated material distribution cannot be achieved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a sheet oscillating and dispensing mechanism, equipment, and process, which aims to solve existing technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a sheet oscillating and dispensing mechanism, relating to a sheet having a U-shaped opening, comprising,

[0005] A pivot is used to provide support.

[0006] An inclined feed rod, with its two ends connected to the rotating shaft, is used to support multiple thin sheets arranged in a row;

[0007] A drive unit and a swing arm, one end of which is connected to the drive unit and the other end of which is connected to the rotating shaft;

[0008] The dispensing unit, located on the feed bar at one end away from the drive unit, includes a suction component that can tilt upwards for sucking up and transferring nearby individual sheets.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a crank and a driver connected to the rocker arm, the crank being connected to the driver via a pulley component.

[0010] Furthermore, the dispensing unit also includes a cylinder for driving the suction component to move.

[0011] A sheet material feeding device, relating to sheet materials, wherein the sheet material has a U-shaped opening, including,

[0012] Vibrating discs are used to output disordered thin sheets in a uniform manner.

[0013] The aforementioned sheet oscillating and dispensing mechanism is used for oscillating and dispensing sheet materials.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a direct vibration unit, whose feed end is connected to the discharge end of the vibrating plate, used to output the thin sheets in a queued manner.

[0015] Furthermore, the sheet also has an insertion port, characterized in that it further includes a sheet insertion unit for transferring the sheet arranged in a queue to the sheet swinging and dispensing mechanism.

[0016] The sheet material separation process involves thin sheets with U-shaped openings and insertion ports, including:

[0017] Vibratory feeding is used to output the messy thin sheets in a uniform manner.

[0018] The thin films with uniform orientation are output in a queue-like distribution using a direct vibration unit;

[0019] Multiple thin sheets arranged in a queue are inserted and conveyed backward using a insert unit;

[0020] The thin sheet is oscillating and distributing using the thin sheet oscillating and distributing mechanism described above.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in:

[0022] In this invention, by driving the swing arm to swing left and right at a small angle, the shaft rotates back and forth at a small angle, thereby causing the metal sheets on the material rod to shake, achieving loosening and avoiding the problem of sheet materials sticking together due to stamping, making it difficult to separate and feed them individually, thus improving the smoothness of feeding.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-3 and Figure 6 The present invention relates to a sheet oscillating and dispensing mechanism, which comprises a sheet having a U-shaped opening and includes,

[0035] The pivot 100 is used for support.

[0036] The inclined feed rod 101 is connected to the rotating shaft 100 at both ends and is used to support multiple thin sheets arranged in a row. The feed rod 101 is equipped with a limiting block to prevent the thin sheets from not staying on the feed rod 101 due to its inclined setting. The end face of the feed rod 101 is a rectangular surface, which, together with the U-shaped opening on the thin sheet, can limit the thin sheet and prevent the thin sheet from slipping when the feed rod 101 swings.

[0037] The drive unit and the swing arm 102 are provided. One end of the swing arm 102 is connected to the drive unit, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft 100. The drive unit is mounted on the support base 106, and the rotating shaft 100 is movably inserted into the support base 106.

[0038] The material dispensing unit is located on the material bar 101 at one end away from the drive unit. It includes a suction component 200 that can be tilted upward. The suction component 200 can be a suction cup, which uses air suction to pick up the sheet and transfer the individual sheet that is close to each other.

[0039] Several thin sheets are placed on the feed rod 101, with adjacent sheets close together. The drive unit drives the swing rod 102 to swing left and right at a small angle, and simultaneously drives the feed rod 101 to swing back and forth at a small angle through the rotating shaft 100. The several thin sheets on it become loose and do not stick to each other. Then the suction component 200 picks up and transfers the thin sheet at the front end, avoiding the thin sheets from sticking to each other and thus preventing the individual thin sheets from being separated in sequence.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The drive unit includes a crank 103 connected to the rocker arm 102 and a driver 105. The crank 103 is connected to the driver 105 via a pulley component 104. The rocker arm 102 has a slotted hole that mates with the crank 103. The driver 105 can be a stepper motor or a servo motor.

[0041] When the driver 105 drives the crank 103 to rotate, the protrusion on the crank 103 makes a circular motion. At the same time, it is limited by the waist-shaped hole during the rotation, which can drive the rocker arm 102 to swing back and forth at a small angle around the end connected to the rotating shaft 100, thereby realizing the reciprocating swing action of the material rod 101, making the several thin sheets it carries loose, which facilitates the subsequent individual sheet separation operation.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The material distribution unit also includes a cylinder 201 for driving the suction component 200 to move. By driving the suction component 200 to move by the cylinder 201, the material is transferred diagonally upwards from the frontmost sheet on the suction rod 101, and the sheet is automatically distributed one by one in sequence, which improves the material distribution efficiency.

[0043] Thin sheet material feeding equipment, involving thin sheets, the thin sheets having a U-shaped opening, including, please refer to, Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,

[0044] Vibration plate 300 is used to output messy thin sheets outward in a uniform posture;

[0045] The aforementioned sheet oscillating and dispensing mechanism is used for oscillating and dispensing sheet materials.

[0046] Several thin sheets are placed in the vibrating plate 300 and output through the vibration of the vibrating plate 300, so that the output thin sheets maintain a uniform posture. Then the thin sheets are transferred to the material bar 101 in sequence. The operation is simple and quick, and no manual adjustment of the thin sheets is required, which improves work efficiency. After the material bar 101 is full of densely arranged thin sheets, the swing material distribution mechanism can be used to perform the swing material distribution operation, realizing the sequential material distribution and transfer of individual thin sheets.

[0047] In one embodiment, a direct vibration unit 400 is also included, whose feed end is connected to the discharge end of the vibratory plate 300, for outputting the sheets in a queued manner. By setting up the direct vibration unit 400, the sheets output by the vibratory plate 300 can be uniformly arranged. When the number of sheets arranged is close to the capacity of the feed rod 101, the arranged sheet group can be transferred to the feed rod 101 at once, eliminating the need to transfer the sheets after each output, thus reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.

[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The thin sheet also has an insertion slot. In this embodiment, it is applicable to the feeding and distributing process in the wine box assembly process. The wine box is assembled from face paper and iron sheets. The iron sheets are thin and have U-shaped openings and insertion slots. With the above-mentioned equipment, it also includes a sheet insertion unit 500, which is used to transfer the thin sheets arranged in a queue to the sheet swing distributing mechanism. By setting the sheet insertion unit 500, the sheet groups output and arranged on the vertical vibration unit 400 can be centrally inserted and transferred to the material bar 101, avoiding the problems of the sheet groups easily scattering when handled manually and not being able to be quickly placed on the material bar 101, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of the sheet group transfer.

[0049] In another embodiment, the sheet output by the vibrating plate 300 can be directly transferred to the insert unit 500. When the number of sheets transferred to the insert unit 500 is close to the number of sheets carried by the feed rod 101, they can be transferred to the feed rod 101 at once. At this time, the direct vibration unit 400 is not required.

[0050] The sheet material sorting process involves sheet materials with U-shaped openings and inserts. This process is applicable to the feeding and sorting steps in wine box assembly.

[0051] The 300-vibration feeding method uses a vibratory feeder to output the messy thin sheets in a uniform manner.

[0052] The 400 vertical vibration unit is used to output thin films with uniform orientation in a queue-like distribution;

[0053] The insert unit 500 is used to insert multiple thin sheets arranged in a row and then convey them backward;

[0054] The thin sheet is oscillating and distributing using the thin sheet oscillating and distributing mechanism described above.

[0055] Under this process, the oscillating feeding mechanism not only solves the problem that the stamped sheets are prone to sticking and difficult to separate during feeding, but also works with the front-end vibrating plate 300, the direct vibration unit 400 and the insert unit 500 to complete the efficient feeding of the sheets, realize the industrial requirements of sheet feeding, and greatly improve the feeding efficiency of the sheets.

[0056] The insert unit 500 can be a structure consisting of two parallel support rods connected at one end. The insert unit 500 is manually operated to insert the arranged thin plates and then transfer them, which is convenient and efficient.

[0057] The direct vibration unit 400 may employ, but is not limited to, the direct vibration device disclosed in patent number CN212350996U, for arranging thin sheets that are output in a uniform posture in a neat and compact manner.

[0058] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
