Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal processing technology, specifically to an automated processing equipment with a PLC controller. Background Technology
[0002] PLC controllers are widely used in current industrial automation production. They can accept input signals, compile according to the set program logic, and generate electrical control signals to control the operation of actuators such as motors and valves.

[0003] In current industrial production, the manufacturing of metal products requires a large amount of metal sheets. In particular, for some metal sheets that need to be irregularly perforated on both sides, they need to be flipped during processing.

A third conveyor belt is fixedly installed at the rear end of the platform, and a PLC controller is installed at the front of one side of the top of the platform.
[0021] Working principle: In practical applications, this invention mainly includes the following equipment operation steps:
[0022] Step 1: Metal Plate Placement: First, the metal plate to be processed is sent to the conveyor slide on one side of the top of the platform via an external conveyor belt. The conveyor slide then enters the double-sided clamping mechanism installed on the outside of the flipping conveyor. When the metal plate is placed on the double-sided clamping mechanism, the double-head motor is started, which drives the screws fixedly connected to its two output ends to rotate. When the screws rotate, with the limiting action of the telescopic rod on the other side, the internal thread sleeves on one side of the two side clamps will move in the same direction, and simultaneously drive the two side clamps fixedly connected to them to move in the adjacent direction, thus fixing and clamping the metal plate placed on the placement plate. After a single metal plate is fixed, the first motor in the flipping conveyor is started, which drives one of the toothed columns to rotate. The other toothed columns drive the chain belt to rotate in a cycle, so that the double-sided clamping mechanism installed on the mounting frame moves in sequence toward the plate drilling mechanism. The subsequent double-sided clamping mechanism then performs the loading and fixing clamping operation for the next metal plate.
[0023] Step 2, Drilling the metal sheet surface: When the single double-sided clamping mechanism moves the metal sheet to below the sheet drilling mechanism, the second motor inside the angle bracket is activated, which drives the gear fixedly connected to its output end to rotate. Under the meshing action of the gear and the tooth groove on the outer wall of the rotating ring, the rotating ring will rotate below the guide ring, and at the same time drive the second electric slide rail at its bottom to change the rotation angle. Then, by adjusting the position of the second electric slide rail moving platform, the position of the electric drilling head at the bottom of the stand can be adjusted. Finally, in conjunction with the first electric slide rail, the entire sheet drilling mechanism can be raised and lowered, allowing the electric drilling head to perform drilling operations on the surface of the metal sheet. During the drilling process, by adjusting the rotation angle of the rotating ring and the position of the second electric slide rail moving platform, as well as by raising and lowering the first electric slide rail moving platform, the working position of the electric drilling head can be adjusted in three dimensions, improving the flexibility of the electric drilling head.
[0024] Step 3: Metal Plate Relocation: After the metal plate on one of the double-sided clamping mechanisms has been perforated, the first motor is started again, driving the toothed column to rotate and the chain belt to rotate. Under the action of the chain belt, when the double-sided clamping mechanism moves to the outer corner of the flipping conveyor, it will cause the originally flat metal plate to stand up, perpendicular to the ground at 90 degrees. At this time, the first electric push rod in the double-sided clamping mechanism is activated, causing its rod to push out to one side of the metal plate, so that the metal plate is detached from the placement plate and slides out along the edge of one of the side clamping plates. The bottom end rests on the upper side of the guide plate in the plate dispensing mechanism, in an inclined position. Then, the third electric push rod is activated, causing its rod to push out to one side of the metal plate. The body pulls the moving plate backward. Guided by the inclined top surface of the guide plate, the tilted metal plate will gradually flatten until its other end is completely out of contact with the double-sided clamping mechanism. At this point, guided by the guide plate, the metal plate will slide to the top center of the distribution rack. Then, by activating the second electric push rod on one side of the hollow frame, its rod pushes the rack to move. Under the meshing action, the rotating head will rotate, causing the guide plate fixedly connected to one end to change position, thus changing the swing position of the guide plate. Then, the third electric push rod is activated again, driving the moving plate to move towards the distribution rack. When the guide plate is on one side of the metal plate, the second electric push rod is activated again, causing the... When the rod retracts, it moves the rack in the opposite direction. Simultaneously, the rotating head also moves the guide plate in the opposite direction, pushing the metal sheet at the top of the distribution rack into a side chute and onto the first conveyor belt. From there, it is conveyed to the upper part of the second conveyor belt. As the double-sided clamping mechanism, which previously held the metal sheet, rotates with the chain belt and reaches the top of the second conveyor belt, the lifting cylinder is activated to lift the entire second conveyor belt, placing the metal sheet above it within the clamping range of the double-sided clamping mechanism. The clamping operation is then repeated, and by adjusting the rotation of the dual-head motor, the two internal threaded sleeves move closer together, working in conjunction with the side clamping plate to... The metal sheet is fixed and clamped. Through the subsequent movement of the chain, the double-sided clamping mechanism can be flipped, and the side of the metal sheet that has not been punched is flipped. As the chain conveys the metal sheet, when the double-sided clamping mechanism moves the metal sheet to the bottom of the punching mechanism, the punching operation is repeated to punch the side of the metal sheet that has not been punched as needed. After the second punching of the metal sheet is completed, it will fall back to the top of the sorting rack through the above steps. At this time, by activating the second electric push rod to retract and then extend, the metal sheet with double-sided punching on the top of the sorting rack can be pushed down to the other side of the sorting rack and transported to the finished product collection point by the third conveyor belt.
[0025] This equipment utilizes the cyclical rotation of a chain belt, combined with a sheet material feeding mechanism, to enable metal sheets to be flipped without the need for external equipment, allowing for double-sided irregular drilling. The equipment has a high degree of integration and offers good efficiency in double-sided drilling of metal sheets.
[0026] This invention provides an automated processing device based on a PLC controller. It has the following advantages:
[0027] 1. This invention starts a second motor to drive the gear fixedly connected to its output end to rotate. Under the meshing action of the gear and the tooth groove on the outer wall of the rotating ring, the rotating ring will rotate and drive the second electric slide rail at its bottom to change the rotation angle. During the drilling process, by adjusting the rotation angle of the rotating ring and the position of the moving table of the second electric slide rail, as well as by raising and lowering the first electric slide rail, the three-dimensional adjustment of the working position of the electric drill head is realized, which improves the flexibility of the electric drill head.
[0028] 2. This invention utilizes the cyclic flipping principle of the flipping conveyor mechanism, combined with the swing-type plate dispensing mechanism, to enable the entire equipment to flip metal plates without the need for other flipping mechanisms, thus enabling double-sided irregular drilling operations. Compared to the traditional method of using complex flipping mechanisms to flip metal plates, this invention offers better integration and can automatically perform cyclic double-sided drilling on metal plates, thereby improving the efficiency of double-sided drilling on metal plates.
[0029] 3. This invention sets a guide plate in the sheet material feeding mechanism, which can change its swing position in a fan-shaped direction. This allows the metal sheet to be pushed into the corresponding slides on both sides of the material feeding rack during the initial and secondary processing, eliminating the need for manual unloading and improving the overall processing efficiency of the equipment.

[0046] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 13 This invention provides an automated processing equipment for a PLC controller, including a frame 1, which serves as the basic structure of the entire equipment and provides mounting positions for other structures. A tilting conveyor mechanism 2 is arranged in the middle of the frame 1. The tilting conveyor mechanism 2 includes two side plates 201 and a first motor 205 fixedly installed on the front side of one side of the frame 1. The two side plates 201 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner ends of the frame 1 on opposite sides. A plurality of toothed columns 202 are equidistantly arranged between the two side plates 201, and the toothed columns 202 are connected by a chain 203. A plurality of mounting brackets 204 are equidistantly fixedly installed on the outer surface of the chain 203. A double-sided clamping mechanism 3 is installed on the mounting bracket. The top of the mounting frame 204 is used to fix the metal sheet to be punched, and moves along the shape of the track circle in conjunction with the flipping conveyor mechanism 2. The output end of the first motor 205 passes through one of the side plates 201 and is fixedly connected to one end of one of the circular toothed columns 202. The first electric slide rail 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the frame 1. A plate drilling mechanism 5 for punching holes on the surface of the metal sheet is provided on the first electric slide rail 4. The material conveying slide 6 is fixedly installed on the other side of the top of the frame 1 and is used to convey the metal sheet to be processed to the double-sided clamping mechanism 3. The plate sorting mechanism 7 is set on one side of the bottom of the frame 1 and is used to sort and convey the metal sheets to be processed in the first and second stages.
[0047] For further details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 7 -Appendix Figure 8 The double-sided clamping mechanism 3 includes a base plate 301 and two side clamping plates 303. The bottom end of the base plate 301 is fixedly connected to the top end of the mounting frame 204. The top end of the base plate 301 is fixedly connected to a placement plate 302. A double-head motor 304 is fixedly installed on one side of the base plate 301. Both output ends of the double-head motor 304 are fixedly connected to screws 305.
[0048] One side of each of the two side clamps 303 is fixedly connected with an internal threaded sleeve 306. The two internal threaded sleeves 306 are respectively threaded to the outer wall of the corresponding screw 305 on the same side. The other side of the base plate 301 is fixedly connected with a telescopic rod 307. The rear side of the telescopic rod 307 cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of one of the side clamps 303. The front end of the telescopic rod 307 is fixedly connected to one side of the other side clamp 303. The top side of the base plate 301 is fixedly installed with a first electric push rod 308. The top end of the first electric push rod 308 is fixedly connected with a rubber head 309, and the top end of the rubber head 309 penetrates one side of the placement plate 302.
[0049] Specifically, in this invention, the metal sheet to be processed is conveyed to the conveying slide 6 located on one side of the top of the frame 1 via an external conveyor belt, and then enters the double-sided clamping mechanism 3 installed outside the flipping conveyor mechanism 2 via the conveying slide 6. When the metal sheet is placed on the double-sided clamping mechanism 3, the operation of the dual-head motor 304 drives the two screws 305 fixedly connected to its output ends to rotate. When the screws 305 rotate, under the limiting action of the telescopic rod 307 on the other side, the internal threaded sleeves 306 on one side of the two side clamping plates 303 will move in a similar direction, and The two side clamping plates 303, which are fixedly connected to it, move towards the adjacent side to fix and clamp the metal plate placed on the placement plate 302. After a single metal plate is fixed, the first motor 205 in the flipping conveyor mechanism 2 is started to drive one of the toothed columns 202 to rotate. The other toothed columns 202 drive the chain belt 203 to rotate in a cycle, so that the double-sided clamping mechanism 3 installed on the mounting frame 204 moves towards the plate punching mechanism 5 in sequence. The subsequent double-sided clamping mechanism 3 then performs the feeding and fixing clamping operation of the next metal plate.
[0050] For further details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 9 -Appendix Figure 10 The panel punching mechanism 5 includes a corner bracket 501, which is fixedly connected to the first electric slide rail 4. A guide ring 502 is installed on one side of the inside of the corner bracket 501. A rotating ring 503 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the guide ring 502. Several toothed grooves are equidistantly arranged on the outer wall of the rotating ring 503. A second electric slide rail 504 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating ring 503.
[0051] A support frame 505 is fixedly connected to the second electric slide rail 504. An electric drill head 506 for making holes in metal plates is installed at the bottom of the support frame 505. A second motor 507 is provided on the other side of the inside of the angle bracket 501. A gear 508 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 507. The gear 508 meshes with the tooth groove provided on the outer wall of the rotating ring 503.
[0052] Specifically, in the actual operation of this mechanism, when the single double-sided clamping mechanism 3 clamps the metal sheet and moves it below the plate drilling mechanism 5, the second motor 507 inside the angle bracket 501 is activated, which drives the gear 508 fixedly connected to its output end to rotate. Under the meshing action of the gear 508 and the tooth groove on the outer wall of the rotating ring 503, the rotating ring 503 will rotate below the guide ring 502, and at the same time drive the second electric slide rail 504 at its bottom to change the rotation angle. At this time, the position of the moving table is adjusted by adjusting the second electric slide rail 504. This allows for adjustment of the position of the electric drill head 506 at the bottom of the stand 505. Finally, in conjunction with the first electric slide rail 4, the entire panel drilling mechanism 5 can be raised and lowered, enabling the electric drill head 506 to perform drilling operations on the surface of the metal sheet. During the drilling process, by adjusting the rotation angle of the rotating ring 503 and the position of the moving platform on the second electric slide rail 504, as well as by raising and lowering the first electric slide rail 4, the working position of the electric drill head 506 can be adjusted in three dimensions, improving the flexibility of the electric drill head 506.
[0053] For further details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 11 -Appendix Figure 13 The sheet metal dispensing mechanism 7 includes an open frame 701, which is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the platform 1. A movable plate 702 is slidably connected inside the open frame 701. A hollow frame 703 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 702. A rotating head 704 is rotatably connected to one end of the hollow frame 703. Several teeth are equidistantly arc-shaped on the outer wall of the rotating head 704. A guide plate 705 for moving metal sheets is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating head 704. A second electric push rod 706 is fixedly connected to one side of the hollow frame 703. A rack 707 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rod of the second electric push rod 706. The teeth on the rack 707 mesh with the teeth equidistantly arc-shaped on the outer wall of the rotating head 704. A slide rod 708 is slidably connected to one side of the rack 707. One side of the slide rod 708 is fixedly connected to the other side of the hollow frame 703.
[0054] One end of the open frame 701 is fixedly connected to a material distribution rack 709. Both sides of the top of the material distribution rack 709 are provided with slide rails 710 for metal sheets to slide onto the corresponding conveyor belt. The other end of the open frame 701 is fixedly connected to a third electric push rod 711. The front end of the third electric push rod 711 is fixedly connected to one end of the moving plate 702, which is used to push the moving plate 702 to move inside the open frame 701.
[0055] Specifically, after the metal sheet on one of the double-sided clamping mechanisms 3 has been perforated, the first motor 205 is started to operate, driving the toothed column 202 to rotate and the chain belt 203 to rotate. Under the action of the chain belt 203, when the double-sided clamping mechanism 3 moves to the outer corner of the flipping conveyor 2, it will cause the originally flat metal sheet to stand up, perpendicular to the ground at 90 degrees. At this time, the first electric push rod 308 in the double-sided clamping mechanism 3 is activated, causing its rod to push out to one side of the metal sheet, so that the metal sheet is detached from the placement plate 302 and slides out along the edge of one of the side clamping plates 303. The bottom end rests on the upper side of the guide plate 705 in the plate dispensing mechanism 7, in an inclined position. Then, the third electric push rod 711 is activated, causing its rod to pull the moving plate 702 backward. Guided by the top slope of the guide plate 705, the inclined metal plate gradually flattens until its other end completely disengages from the double-sided clamping mechanism 3. Guided by the guide plate 705, the metal plate slides to the top center of the material distribution rack 709. Then, the second electric push rod 706 on one side of the hollow frame 703 is activated, causing its rod to push the rack 707. Under meshing action, the rotating head 704 rotates, causing the guide plate 705, which is fixedly connected to one end, to change position, thus changing the swing position of the guide plate 705. Then, the third electric push rod 711 is activated again, driving... The movable plate 702 moves towards the material distribution rack 709. When the guide plate 705 is on one side of the metal sheet, the second electric push rod 706 is activated to retract its rod, which drives the rack 707 to move in the opposite direction. At this time, the rotating head 704 also drives the guide plate 705 to swing in the opposite direction, pushing the metal sheet at the top of the material distribution rack 709 into the slide rail 710 on one side and onto the first conveyor belt 8. It is then conveyed to the upper part of the second conveyor belt 9 via the first conveyor belt 8. When the double-sided clamping mechanism 3, which previously clamped the metal sheet, moves to the top of the second conveyor belt 9 as the chain belt 203 rotates, the lifting cylinder 11 is activated to lift the second conveyor belt 9. The entire assembly is lifted, placing the metal sheet on the upper part of the second conveyor belt 9 within the clamping range of the double-sided clamping mechanism 3. By repeating the previous clamping operation and adjusting the rotation of the dual-head motor 304, the two internal threaded sleeves 306 are moved closer together, working in conjunction with the side clamping plate 303 to securely clamp the metal sheet. Subsequent movement of the chain belt 203 allows the suspended double-sided clamping mechanism 3 to flip over, simultaneously turning the un-drilled side of the metal sheet. As the chain belt 203 continues its cyclical transport, when the double-sided clamping mechanism 3 moves the metal sheet below the plate-drilling mechanism 5, the aforementioned drilling operation is repeated. As needed, the un-drilled side of the metal sheet can be drilled. After the secondary drilling of the metal sheet is completed...The metal sheet, having undergone double-sided drilling, will again fall onto the upper part of the sorting rack 709 through the aforementioned steps. At this point, by activating the second electric push rod 706, which retracts and then extends, the metal sheet with the double-sided drilling process on the upper part of the sorting rack 709 can be pushed down to the other side of the sorting rack 709, onto the slide rail 710, and then transported to the finished product collection point via the third conveyor belt 12.
[0056] It should be noted that in the device of the present invention, a soft rubber protective layer is provided on the adjacent side of the placement plate 302 and the two side clamps 303, and the guide plate 705 and the material distribution rack 709 are made of plastic material to protect the metal plate from wear during contact.
