Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of feeding equipment, and in particular to an independently removable and adjustable feeding device for laser processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Laser marking is becoming increasingly common in the field of automatic marking. Laser marking machines use laser beams to permanently mark the surfaces of various materials. The effect of marking is to expose the deeper materials through the evaporation of the surface material, thereby engraving exquisite patterns, trademarks and text. Laser marking machines are mainly divided into: CO2 laser marking machines, semiconductor laser marking machines, fiber laser marking machines and YAG laser marking machines. Laser marking machines are mainly used in some occasions that require more sophisticated and higher precision. They are used in electronic components, integrated circuits (ICs), electrical appliances, mobile communications, hardware products, tool accessories, precision instruments, glasses and watches, jewelry, auto parts, plastic buttons, building materials, and PVC pipes.

[0003] Currently, the production of sheet materials, such as signs, requires laser marking using a laser marking machine. During the production process, the sheet materials are pushed into the laser marking machine for marking. In the loading device, the sheets to be marked are stacked in a frame, and an upper suction transfer mechanism moves the stacked sheets one by one to the next station. The existing frame structure for stacking sheets includes a support plate and multiple limit rods standing on the side of the support plate. When in use, the sheets are stacked on the support plate, and the multiple limit rods press against the side edges of the sheets to position them. To accommodate sheets of different specifications, the positions of the multiple limit rods are adjustable.

[0004] In order to smoothly add sheets and avoid obstructions from the suction and transfer mechanism above, the inventors developed a retractable stacking frame device. The stacking frame is configured as a sliding structure that can be pulled out of the machine. The stacking frame device includes two stacking assemblies. During use, the sheets of sheets in one stacking assembly are provided for grabbing, while the other stacking assembly is kept in standby mode. This eliminates the need to stop the machine while waiting for sheets to be added. Because the width direction is perpendicular to the withdrawal direction, in order to prevent interference between the width adjustment structures of adjacent stacking frames during withdrawal, the width adjustment mechanisms of different stacking frames in the prior art are independent of each other. This has the following drawbacks: multiple independent width adjustment mechanisms are costly, and the width adjustment requires separate operation on different stacking frames, which is inconvenient. Moreover, it is difficult to adjust the widths of different stacking frames to be consistent. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an independently removable and adjustable loading device for laser processing equipment, which has low cost and is easy to operate.

[0040] The present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings.

[0041] An independently removable adjustable feeding device of a laser processing equipment in the embodiment, as shown in the drawings, comprises a base plate 1 and two groups of material frame assemblies 2 arranged side by side, each group of material frame assemblies 2 comprising a sliding plate 3, a first slide rail 4 and a limiting rod 5, two first slide rails 4 being fixed to the base plate 1 side by side, and the bottom of the sliding plate 3 being fixed with a first slide base 8 which is slidably matched with the first slide rail 4, so that the sliding plate 3 is push-pull mounted on the base plate 1. Figures 1 to 5 The top of the sliding plate 3 is provided with two second slide rails 9 which are perpendicular to the first slide rail 4, and the limiting rod 5 is fixed with a second slide base 10 which is slidably matched with the second slide rail 9, so that the limiting rod 5 is slidably mounted on the sliding plate 3. The base plate 1 is also provided with a width adjusting mechanism 12, which comprises a follower plate 13 and a third slide rail 14, the third slide rail 14 being fixed to the base plate 1 and arranged in parallel with the second slide rail 9, and the follower plate 13 being fixed with a third slide base 15 which is slidably matched with the third slide rail 14, so that the follower plate 13 is slidably mounted on the base plate 1, i.e. sliding in the width adjusting direction which is parallel to the second slide rail 9. The follower plate 13 is arranged side by side with the first slide rail 4, and the top of the follower plate 13 is provided with a guide groove 131 along the length direction of the follower plate 13, the limiting rod 5 is fixed with an extension seat 6 which is provided with an extension rod, the end of the extension rod is mounted with a follower bearing 7 which is movably embedded in the guide groove 131, and the sliding plate 3 is provided with a third displacement long slot hole 31 which is parallel to the second slide rail 9 and through which the extension rod passes.

[0042]

[0043] ​The base plate 1 is also equipped with a power assembly 16 capable of driving the follower plates 13 of the different material frame assemblies 2 to move synchronously. This power assembly 16 includes two width adjustment drive rods 161 and a power source 162 capable of driving the width adjustment drive rods 161 in a direction parallel to the third slide rail 14. The power source 162 is a conventional slide. The upper ends of the width adjustment drive rods 161 are connected to the follower plate 13. The base plate 1 has a fourth clearance elongated hole 101 parallel to the second slide rail 9. The width adjustment drive rods 161 extend upward through the fourth clearance elongated hole 101.

[0044] On skateboard 3 Figure 1 When adjusting the width in the pushed-in state shown, the power source 162 drives the width adjustment drive rod 161 to move in a width direction parallel to the second slide rail 9, driving the follower plate 13, the limit rod 5, and the second slide 10 to adjust in the width direction. When the slide 3 needs to be pulled out, the follower bearing 7 moves in the guide groove 131 of the follower plate 13, so that the slide 3 and the follower plate 13 are separated in the pulling direction. That is, the width adjustment drive rod 161 and the follower plate 13 will not interfere with the pulling and pulling movement of the slide 3. Each group of material frame assemblies 2 can be independently pulled and pulled without being hindered by the same group of width adjustment mechanisms 12. Different material frame assemblies 2 are adjusted by the same group of width adjustment mechanisms 12, which is convenient to operate and easy to adjust the widths of different material frame assemblies 2 to be consistent.

[0045] In this embodiment, each set of material frame components 2 also includes a material receiving plate 11 for supporting the material sheet. The slide plate 3 is fixed with a fourth slide rail 17 arranged longitudinally. The fourth slide rail 17 is slidably connected to a fourth slide 18. The material receiving plate 11 is installed on the fourth slide 18. The base plate 1 is provided with a lifting drive module 181 for driving the fourth slide 18 and the material receiving plate 11 to move longitudinally. The module adopts the motor screw nut module of the prior art. The function is that during the material removal process, the material receiving plate 11 is raised to a height of the material sheet thickness each time, so that the topmost material sheet is at the same height for easy grasping. Specifically, the material receiving plate 11 is provided with a first clearance strip hole 111 parallel to the second slide rail 9. The limit rod 5 is arranged through the first clearance strip hole 111.

[0046] In this embodiment, the slide 3 is further provided with a positioning rod 19 arranged parallel to the limiting rod 5. The positioning rod 19 and the limiting rod 5 are respectively arranged on either side of the material receiving plate 11. The material receiving plate 11 is provided with a second elongated aperture 112 parallel to the first slide rail 4, through which the positioning rod 19 is arranged. The slide 3 is also provided with a positioning drive 20 for driving the positioning rod 19. The positioning drive 20 is a conventional motor screw nut slide. During use, the positioning rod 19 and the limiting rod 5 respectively prevent the material from being positioned on either side of the width. Adjusting the lengthwise position of the positioning rod 19 allows it to be adjusted to different positions on the material, providing more stable positioning.

[0047] Specifically, the base plate 1 is provided with a locking mechanism 21 for fixing the slide plate 3. The locking mechanism 21 includes a locking cylinder 211. The piston rod of the locking cylinder 211 can be longitudinally extended and is provided with a locking rod 212. The slide plate 3 is provided with a locking hole 32. When the slide plate 3 moves until the locking hole 32 is aligned with the locking rod 212, the locking rod 212 can be inserted into the locking hole 32. When the slide plate 3 does not need to be pulled out, the slide plate 3 is fixed, ensuring the convenience of taking out materials.

[0048] Specifically, the substrate 1 is provided with an ion blower 22 for blowing air toward the material frame assembly 2 to remove static electricity.
