When it is necessary to grab the sheet metal for use, the longitudinal movement control mechanism of the rack drives the rack to move longitudinally to the position corresponding to the corresponding storage tray, and then the three-dimensional motion control mechanism drives the sheet metal grabbing device to complete the horizontal, longitudinal and vertical movement, and makes the sheet metal grabbing device directly above the storage tray. After that, the sheet metal grabbing device grabs the sheet metals in the storage tray one by one, and places the grabbed sheet metals on the conveyor line, and the conveyor line transports the sheet metals to the outside. The structural layout of the above-mentioned sheet metal material warehouse is more reasonable, and it is provided with multiple support stations, which can hold multiple storage trays, and can more conveniently store different sheet metals, with a larger storage capacity; and it is more convenient to take and put.

[0045] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 2The present invention shows a new type of sheet metal material warehouse, including a conveyor line 1 in the middle position, with a bracket 2 on each side of the conveyor line, and a number of support stations spaced vertically and spaced along the conveying direction of the conveyor line on the bracket, the support stations are used to place storage trays 3, storage stations are formed on the storage trays and are used to place sheet metals 4 stacked vertically; a row rack 5 is arranged above the bracket and along the width direction of the conveyor line, and a row rack longitudinal movement control mechanism is provided between the row rack and the bracket to drive the row rack to move longitudinally; a sheet metal grabbing device 6 is provided below the row rack and is used to grab the sheet metal; a two-dimensional motion control mechanism of the grabbing device is provided between the row rack and the sheet metal grabbing device and can drive the sheet metal grabbing device to complete horizontal, longitudinal and vertical movements so as to be able to drive the sheet metal grabbing device to be located above the storage tray in sequence and grab the sheet metals in the storage tray one by one.

[0047] In this way, when the above-mentioned new sheet metal material warehouse is in use, the stacked sheet metals are placed in the storage tray, and the storage tray is placed on the support station of the bracket. When it is necessary to grab the sheet metal for use, the longitudinal movement control mechanism of the rack drives the rack to move longitudinally to the position corresponding to the corresponding storage tray, and then the three-dimensional motion control mechanism drives the sheet metal grabbing device to complete the horizontal, longitudinal and vertical movement, and makes the sheet metal grabbing device directly above the storage tray. After that, the sheet metal grabbing device grabs the sheet metals in the storage tray one by one, and places the grabbed sheet metals on the conveyor line, and the conveyor line transports the sheet metals to the outside. The structural layout of the above-mentioned sheet metal material warehouse is more reasonable, and it is provided with multiple support stations, which can hold multiple storage trays, and can more conveniently store different sheet metals, with a larger storage capacity; and it is more convenient to take and put.

[0048] In this specific embodiment, the bracket includes a horizontal bracket plate 7 at the upper end and an overall long strip structure design. A plurality of support columns are arranged at both ends and between the two ends below the bracket plate and at intervals along the longitudinal direction to divide the bottom of the bracket plate into a plurality of placement spaces. A storage rack 8 is respectively arranged in the placement space, and each storage rack forms a support station arranged vertically at intervals.

[0049] In this way, the structural design of the bracket is more reasonable; the bracket is composed of a bracket plate, a support column and a storage rack, and the layout design is more reasonable. By changing the structural size of the storage rack, different storage trays can be placed, which is more convenient to use and has better applicability.

[0050] In this specific embodiment, there are four placement spaces arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction.

[0051] In this way, the layout design of the storage space is more reasonable, which can accommodate more storage racks and improve the storage capacity of sheet metal.

[0052] In this specific embodiment, the storage rack has three support stations arranged vertically at intervals.

[0053] Like this, the structural design of storage rack is more reasonable.

[0054] In this specific embodiment, a horizontal connecting plate 9 is respectively connected at both ends of the two support plates, and a fence 10 is respectively provided on the support plate and the connecting plate to form a square adult pedestrian passage 11 on the support plate and the connecting plate.

[0055] In this way, by using a connecting plate to connect the two ends of the bracket plate, and then setting a fence on the connecting plate and the bracket plate to form a parallel pedestrian passage, it is more convenient for maintenance.

[0056] In this specific embodiment, the conveyor line includes conveyor line units 12 that are connected to each other, and a sheet metal discharge conveying mechanism 13 is connected to the outside of one of the outermost conveyor line units, and the sheet metal discharge conveying mechanism has a sheet metal output end and extends to the outside of the two bracket ends.

[0057] In this way, the design of the conveyor line is more reasonable and can better convey the sheet metal.

[0058] In this specific implementation, there are three conveyor line units.

[0059] In this way, the number of conveyor line units is designed more reasonably.

[0060] In this specific embodiment, an inspection box 14 with an open upper end is installed above each end of the rack.

[0061] In this way, an inspection box is set at each end of the rack, and the inspection box moves with the rack, making inspection more convenient.

[0062] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the present technical solution also discloses a longitudinal movement control mechanism of a row frame; the longitudinal movement control mechanism of the row frame includes mounting frames 15 respectively connected to the ends of the row frames, a mounting frame longitudinal movement guide mechanism is provided between the mounting frames and the brackets, and a mounting frame longitudinal movement drive mechanism is also provided between the mounting frames and the brackets; the mounting frame includes a horizontal mounting frame plate 16 provided below the end of the row frame, and a connecting frame 17 is provided above the mounting frame plate and on both sides of the corresponding row frame, a longitudinally arranged floating guide block 18 is provided on the inner side of one group of the connecting brackets, and a longitudinally arranged floating guide groove is provided on the floating guide block; a floating guide rail 19 is provided on the row frame corresponding to the floating guide block, and the floating guide rail is cooperatively provided in the floating guide groove.

[0063] In this way, the longitudinal movement control mechanism of the frame usually includes a driving mechanism respectively arranged at both ends of the frame. When the two driving mechanisms drive the frame to move longitudinally, it is difficult to ensure synchronization between the two driving mechanisms. This makes it difficult to ensure the consistency of the longitudinal movement speeds of the two ends of the frame. There will be a distance difference between the two ends of the frame in the longitudinal direction, causing the frame to deflect, which will increase the resistance encountered when driving the frame to move longitudinally.

[0064] By providing mounting brackets at both ends of the traveling frame, one of the mounting brackets is connected to the traveling frame in a floating manner. Specifically, floating guide blocks are designed on the connecting brackets on both sides of the mounting bracket, and the floating guide blocks are provided with longitudinally arranged floating guide grooves. Floating guide rails are provided on the traveling frame corresponding to the floating guide blocks, and the floating guide rails are arranged in the floating guide grooves to form a floating connection structure. This allows the mounting bracket to have a certain amount of floating offset from the traveling frame, thereby compensating for the distance difference in the longitudinal direction between the two ends of the traveling frame. This allows for better longitudinal drive of the traveling frame.

[0065] In this specific embodiment, the floating guide blocks are two vertically arranged in pairs.

[0066] In this way, the number of floating guide blocks is designed more reasonably, the floating effect is better, and it is more reliable.

[0067] In this specific embodiment, a connecting pad 20 is provided on each side of the end of the rack; the floating guide rail is provided on one set of the connecting pads; and the other set of connecting pads are each connected to a corresponding connecting bracket.

[0068] In this way, by designing the connecting pad, both sides of the rack end can be protected.

[0069] In this specific embodiment, the connecting brackets are each detachably fixed to the mounting frame plate by connecting screws.

[0070] In this way, it is more convenient to disassemble and assemble the connecting bracket and the mounting frame plate, and the structural design is simpler and more reasonable.

[0071] In this specific embodiment, a holding bracket 21 is arranged above the two paired connecting brackets, and there are two groups of fixed support rods 22 arranged in pairs and designed vertically downward between the holding brackets, and the fixed support rods are respectively connected to the two paired connecting brackets. There are horizontal holding stations above the holding brackets and each is used to install a fixed maintenance box.

[0072] In this way, by setting up a holding bracket, the holding bracket is connected to the connecting bracket through a fixed support rod, and then the maintenance box is installed and arranged above the holding bracket, which makes the installation layout more convenient; and the weight of the installation box directly acts on the mounting frame, avoiding disassembly and assembly between the row frame.

[0073] In this specific embodiment, the traveling frame includes a traveling frame rod 23, and the traveling frame rod is designed as a hollow rectangular tubular structure, and a cover plate 24 is provided at each end of the traveling frame rod.

[0074] In this way, the structural design of the rack is more reasonable and the weight is lighter.

[0075] In this specific embodiment, the longitudinal movement guide mechanism of the mounting frame includes a mounting frame guide rail 25 installed on the bracket and arranged longitudinally; two mounting frame guide blocks 26 are provided on the mounting frame plate and spaced apart longitudinally, and longitudinal guide grooves are provided on the mounting frame guide blocks and can be slidably engaged on the mounting frame guide rail.

[0076] In this way, the longitudinal movement guide mechanism of the mounting frame adopts a guide rail structure, and the design is simpler and more reasonable.

[0077] In this specific embodiment, two spacers 27 are provided below the mounting frame plate at intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the mounting frame guide block is provided below each spacer.

[0078] In this way, the cushion block is arranged first, and then the guide block of the mounting frame is arranged on the cushion block, so the structural design is simpler and more reasonable.

[0079] In this specific embodiment, the mounting frame longitudinal movement drive mechanism includes a mounting frame drive rack 28 installed on the inner side of the mounting frame guide rail, a mounting frame drive motor 29 is provided at one end of the mounting frame plate, a mounting frame drive gear is provided on the mounting frame drive motor, and the mounting frame drive gear is engaged with the mounting frame drive rack for transmission.

[0080] In this way, the rack and pinion structure is adopted to drive the longitudinal movement of the frame, so that the longitudinal movement of the frame is more stable and the structural design is simpler and more reasonable.

[0081] like Figures 6 to 12As shown, the present technical solution also discloses a two-dimensional motion control mechanism for a gripping device; the two-dimensional motion control mechanism for the gripping device includes a control plate 30 arranged on one side of the frame, and a control plate lateral movement control mechanism is arranged between the control plate and the frame; a lifting cylinder 31 is arranged on the outside of the control plate, and a lifting cylinder vertical movement control mechanism is provided between the lifting cylinder and the control plate; a connecting frame 32 is connected to the lower end of the lifting cylinder, and the connecting frame includes a horizontal connecting frame plate 33 at the lower end; a horizontally arranged control frame 34 is provided below the connecting frame plate, and a control frame lateral movement guide mechanism is provided between the connecting frame plate and the control frame; a sheet metal gripping device 6 is provided below the control frame, and the sheet metal gripping device includes a placement frame 35 at the upper end, and a placement frame 35 is provided between the placement frame and the control frame. A lateral movement guide mechanism of the placement frame is provided between the control frames; a lateral drive motor 36 is provided on the connecting frame, a drive gear 37 is provided at the output end of the lateral drive motor, and a drive toothed belt 38 is provided around the drive gear; a tensioning wheel 39 is installed on both sides of the drive gear below the connecting frame plate through a support frame; the two corresponding tensioning wheels are provided with a clearance opening on the connecting frame plate; and the smooth surfaces of the drive toothed belts are respectively tensioned and fitted on the inner sides of the two paired tensioning wheels, and the drive toothed belts are downwardly passed through the clearance holes and are provided around the driven gears 40 provided at both ends of the control frame; and a connecting block 41 is respectively provided on the connecting frame plate and the placement frame for connection and fixation, and a through hole is respectively provided on the connecting block for the drive toothed belt to pass through and be connected and fixed.

[0082] In this way, when the two-dimensional motion control mechanism of the gripping device is in operation, the control panel's lateral movement control mechanism and the lifting cylinder's vertical movement control mechanism can drive the control frame and the sheet metal gripping device below the control frame to move horizontally and vertically as a whole. The lateral drive motor, through the drive gear, drive belt, tensioner, driven gear, and connecting block, can generate lateral movement between the connecting frame and the control frame, and simultaneously between the control frame and the sheet metal gripping device. Furthermore, the lateral movement of the connecting frame and the sheet metal gripping device can be in opposite directions, either toward or away from each other, all achieved by the same lateral drive motor. This can save on motor equipment. Furthermore, lateral movement between the connecting frame and the control frame simultaneously generates lateral movement between the control frame and the sheet metal gripping device, enabling better placement of the sheet metal gripping devices directly above the left and right storage trays to grip sheet metal.

[0083] In this specific embodiment, the lateral movement guide mechanism of the placement frame includes a placement frame guide rail 42 arranged on both sides of the control frame, and a placement frame guide block 43 is provided on the placement frame and corresponds to the placement frame guide rail. The placement frame guide block is provided with a guide groove and cooperates with the placement frame guide rail.

[0084] In this way, the lateral movement guide mechanism of the placement frame adopts a guide rail structure, and the guide structure design is more reasonable.

[0085] In this specific embodiment, the control frame lateral movement guide mechanism includes control frame guide rails 44 arranged on both sides above the control frame, and control frame guide blocks 45 are arranged on the connecting frame plate and respectively correspond to the control frame guide rails. The control frame guide blocks are provided with guide grooves and cooperate with the control frame guide rails.

[0086] In this way, the lateral movement guide mechanism of the control frame adopts a guide rail structure, and the guide structure design is more reasonable.

[0087] In this specific embodiment, the vertical movement control mechanism of the lifting cylinder includes two lifting cylinder guide rails 46 arranged on the lifting cylinder and arranged vertically, and a lifting cylinder guide block 47 is provided on the outside of the control panel, and the lifting cylinder guide block is provided with a vertical guide groove and cooperates with the lifting cylinder guide rails; a vertical rack 48 is provided on the inside of one of the lifting cylinder guide rails, a lifting cylinder drive motor 49 is installed on the control panel, and a lifting cylinder drive gear is installed at the rotation output end of the lifting cylinder drive motor, and the lifting cylinder drive gear is engaged with the vertical rack.

[0088] In this way, the vertical movement control mechanism of the lifting cylinder adopts a guide rail structure for guidance, and adopts a lifting cylinder drive motor, a lifting cylinder drive gear and a vertical rack meshing transmission drive. The entire structural design is simpler and more reasonable, can better control the vertical position of the lifting cylinder, and the movement is smoother.

[0089] In this specific embodiment, the control panel lateral movement control mechanism includes two control panel guide rails 50 arranged on the row frame and arranged horizontally, a control panel guide block 51 is provided on the inner side of the control panel, and the control panel guide block is provided with a horizontal guide groove arranged horizontally and cooperates with the control panel guide rails; a horizontal rack 52 is provided on the inner side of one of the control panel guide rails, a control panel drive motor 53 is installed on the control panel, and a control panel drive gear is installed at the rotation output end of the control panel drive motor, and the control panel drive gear is engaged with the horizontal rack.

[0090] In this way, the control panel lateral movement control mechanism adopts a guide rail structure for guidance, and adopts a control panel drive motor, a control panel drive gear and a lateral rack meshing transmission drive. The whole structural design is simpler and more reasonable, can better control the lateral position of the control panel, and the movement is smoother.

[0091] like Figures 13 to 15As shown, the present technical solution also discloses a sheet metal grabbing device; the sheet metal grabbing device includes a placement frame 35; a plurality of sheet metal grabbing suction cups 54 are provided on the placement frame; a flip frame 55 with an overall rectangular structure design is hingedly connected vertically at one end of the placement frame, and a plurality of sheet metal separation suction cups 56 are provided on the flip frame; a vertical rotation drive mechanism is provided between the placement frame and the flip frame for controlling the rotation of the flip frame; a plate separator 57 is provided on the outer side of the far end of the flip frame on the placement frame, and a separator longitudinal movement control mechanism is provided between the plate separator and the placement frame for controlling the longitudinal position of the plate separator; the plate separator has a plate separation claw that can be longitudinally retracted inward; and after the sheet metal separation suction cup is adsorbed on the surface of the end of the plate, the plate separation claw on the plate separator can move toward the end of the plate and abut against the end of the plate, and the vertical rotation drive mechanism of the flip frame can drive the flip frame to rotate vertically and make the end of the plate bend upward and separate one sheet from the stacked plates.

[0092] In this way, when existing sheet metal grabbing devices grab stacked sheet metal, they usually use suction cups to directly adsorb on the surface of the sheet metal and then lift it upward. The stacked sheet metal is close to each other. When the top sheet is adsorbed to separate it, the sheet metal below is also affected, causing its angle and position to change. This is not conducive to subsequent grabbing and the angular position of the sheet metal is not uniform when it is placed on the conveyor line after being grabbed. When the above-mentioned sheet metal grabbing device is working, the sheet metal grabbing suction cups on the placement frame first adsorb on the sheet metal surface. At the same time, the sheet metal separation suction cups on the flip frame adsorb on the sheet metal surface. Then, the sheet metal separation claws on the sheet metal separator are longitudinally extended and abutted against the end of the sheet metal. The vertical rotation drive mechanism of the flip frame can then drive the flip frame to rotate vertically and bend the end of the sheet metal upward to separate a sheet from the stacked sheet metal. The use of the above-mentioned sheet metal grabbing device has a simpler and more reasonable structural design, can better separate a sheet of stacked sheet metal, and can better avoid the disorder of the sheet metal position and angle when grabbing the sheet metal.

[0093] In this specific embodiment, the flip frame includes two flip rods 58 arranged longitudinally along the placement frame and spaced apart laterally along the placement frame. A mounting rod 59 is provided at the inner end of the corresponding flip rod on the placement frame, and a hinge seat 60 is provided on the mounting rod corresponding to each flip rod, and the ends of the flip rods are respectively hinged on the hinge seats; a sheet metal separation suction cup mounting plate 61 is respectively connected to the far end of the two flip rods, and the sheet metal separation suction cups are installed in pairs on the sheet metal separation suction cup mounting plates.

[0094] In this way, the structural design of the flip frame is more reasonable, which makes it more convenient to install and arrange the sheet metal separation suction cups. The positions of the sheet metal separation suction cups are more reasonable, which can better drive the sheet metal to bend and achieve separation.

[0095] In this specific embodiment, the vertical rotation drive mechanism includes a connecting rod 62 connected and arranged below the far ends of the two flip rods, a cylinder mounting plate 63 arranged vertically upward is connected and fixed on the mounting rod, a flip driving cylinder 64 is hinged on the cylinder mounting plate, and the other end of the flip driving cylinder is tilted downward and hinged on the connecting plate.

[0096] In this way, the vertical rotation drive mechanism adopts the turning drive cylinder, which can more conveniently drive the turning frame to rotate.

[0097] In this specific embodiment, the placement frame includes two longitudinal rods 65, and sheet metal grabbing suction cups are installed at intervals on both outer sides of the two longitudinal rods.

[0098] In this way, the structural design of the mounting frame is more reasonable, the arrangement of the sheet metal grabbing suction cups is more reasonable, and the sheet metal can be better adsorbed and more reliable.

[0099] In this specific embodiment, the placement rack further includes a plurality of transverse rods 66 disposed between the two longitudinal rods and spaced apart along the longitudinal direction, and each transverse rod is provided with the sheet metal grabbing suction cup.

[0100] In this way, by setting the transverse rod, more sheet metal grabbing suction cups can be designed and arranged to improve the reliability of sheet metal grabbing.

[0101] In this specific embodiment, a transverse placement plate 67 is provided at one end of the placement frame; the plate separator is installed and arranged on the outside of the transverse placement plate; the separator longitudinal movement control mechanism includes a guide rod 68 connected and fixed at the middle position above the transverse placement plate and arranged longitudinally, a longitudinally arranged separator guide rail 69 is provided on the lower side of the guide rod, a separator guide block 70 is provided above the separator, a longitudinal guide groove is provided on the separator guide block and cooperates with the separator guide rail; a longitudinally arranged separator moving cylinder 71 is installed on the inner side of the transverse placement plate, and the piston rod end of the separator moving cylinder is connected to the plate separator after passing through the clearance hole on the transverse placement plate.

[0102] In this way, the position layout of the plate separator is more reasonable, so that the placement frame can match the plate surface to the greatest extent, and the structural design of the separator longitudinal movement control mechanism is simpler, which can better control the longitudinal position of the controller.

[0103] like Figures 16 to 21As shown, the present technical solution also discloses a sheet metal discharging conveying mechanism; the sheet metal discharging conveying mechanism 13 includes a bottom bracket 72, a conveying frame 73 with an overall rectangular frame structure design is provided above the bottom bracket, a mounting support rod 74 is arranged in the middle of the conveying frame and along its longitudinal direction, a driving pulley and a driven pulley are provided at each end of the mounting support rod, and a transmission drive mechanism 75 is provided corresponding to the driving pulley and can drive the driving pulley to rotate; and a conveyor belt 76 is provided around the driving pulley and the driven pulley; the left and right sides of the conveyor belt on the conveyor frame are connected to the conveyor belt. A number of conveying support plates 77 connected end to end are laid flat on both sides; the rear end of the conveying frame and the rear end of the bottom bracket are hinged for vertical rotation; a conveying frame rotation drive mechanism is provided between the front end of the conveying frame and the bottom bracket to drive the front end of the conveying frame to rotate vertically so that the conveying frame and the bottom bracket are set at an angle; the rear end of the mounting support rod and the rear end of the conveying frame are hinged for vertical rotation; a mounting support rod rotation drive mechanism is provided between the front end of the mounting support rod and the conveying frame to drive the mounting support rod and the conveyor belt to rotate vertically so that the conveying frame and the conveyor belt are set at an angle.

[0104] Thus, the existing sheet metal discharging conveying mechanism connected to the output end of the conveyor line has the following disadvantages: when the sheet metal is output, workers are usually required to drag the sheet metal down. Since the conveyor belt has to complete the conveying of the sheet metal, there is a large friction between the conveyor belt and the sheet metal, which makes it time-consuming and labor-intensive to drag the sheet metal down. In the above-mentioned sheet metal discharging conveying mechanism, the conveyor frame rotation drive mechanism can drive the front end of the conveyor frame to rotate vertically so that the conveyor frame and the bottom bracket are set at an angle to better adapt to the output of different sheet metals; the mounting rod rotation drive mechanism can drive the mounting rod and the conveyor belt to rotate vertically so that the conveyor frame and the conveyor belt are set at an angle. When it is necessary to drag the sheet metal down, the front end of the mounting rod is rotated downward, thereby separating the conveyor belt from the lower surface of the sheet metal, reducing friction, and making it more labor-saving to drag the sheet metal down.

[0105] In this specific embodiment, the conveyor frame rotation drive mechanism includes two first drive cylinders 78 arranged between the conveyor frame and the bottom bracket and arranged at intervals along the transverse direction of the conveyor frame, and the cylinder end of the first drive cylinder is hinged to the bottom, and the piston rod end of the first drive cylinder is tilted upward and hingedly connected to the conveyor frame.

[0106] In this way, the conveyor frame rotation drive mechanism includes two first drive cylinders, the structural design is simpler and more reasonable, and the overall driving of the conveyor frame to rotate is more stable and reliable.

[0107] In this specific embodiment, the mounting support rod rotation drive mechanism includes a driving bracket 79 connected to the front end of the mounting support rod and arranged obliquely downward, and a second driving cylinder 80 is respectively provided on both sides of the lower end of the driving bracket, and the piston rod ends of the second driving cylinder are respectively hingedly connected to the connecting ends on both sides of the driving bracket, and the cylinder body end of the second driving cylinder is arranged obliquely upward and connected and fixed on the conveying frame.

[0108] In this way, the structural design of the mounting support rod rotation drive mechanism is simpler and more reasonable, which can better drive the mounting support rod to rotate, and can better position and support the mounting support rod after rotation.

[0109] In this specific embodiment, a plurality of upwardly disposed bristles are provided on the conveying support plate. A support column is also provided on the conveying support plate. A ball mounting hole is provided on the upper end surface of the support column and a ball 81 is installed therein.

[0110] In this way, the bristles are arranged on the conveying support plate, which can support the sheet metal, reduce the supporting area, reduce the friction resistance during conveying, and also remove debris.

[0111] In this specific embodiment, the conveying frame includes transverse connecting rods 82 at both ends, support columns are arranged on the transverse connecting rods and spaced apart in the transverse direction, and ball mounting holes are provided on the upper end surfaces of the support columns and balls are installed.

[0112] In this way, by providing the balls, sliding friction is changed to rolling friction, which can reduce the resistance during transportation.

[0113] In this specific embodiment, a longitudinally arranged placement rod 83 is respectively provided at the lower outer side of the two conveying support plates arranged in pairs on the left and right; a vertically upwardly arranged limit column 84 is provided on the placement rod, and a vertically penetrating clearance groove is provided on the conveying support plate so that the upper end of the limit column can extend to the top of the conveying support plate; and the clearance groove 85 is designed in a long strip shape and arranged in the horizontal direction; a placement rod lateral movement control mechanism is provided between the placement rod and the conveying frame, and the placement rod lateral movement control mechanism has two lateral movement control ends and is respectively connected to the two paired placement rods, so that the limit columns on the two placement rods can respectively move in the clearance groove and move inward or away from each other.

[0114] In this way, when a sheet metal is transported to the specified position, the two lateral movement control ends of the lateral movement control mechanism of the placement rod control the limit columns on the two placement rods to move respectively in the makeshift groove and move inward to center the sheet metal, making the position of each sheet metal more uniform.

[0115] In this specific embodiment, the lateral movement control mechanism of the placement rod is arranged on a lateral guide rail 86 on the conveying frame, and the placement rod is provided with a lateral guide groove and cooperates with the lateral guide rail; a driving tooth 87 is respectively provided at both ends of the conveying frame corresponding to one of the placement rods, and a driven tooth 88 is respectively provided at both ends of the conveying frame corresponding to the other placement rod, and a synchronous toothed belt 89 is provided around the transversely paired driving teeth and driven teeth; and the front and rear sides of the synchronous toothed belt are respectively connected to the two placement rods through a connecting block 90; a third driving cylinder 91 is also provided on the conveying frame, and the third driving cylinder is arranged laterally along the conveying frame, and the piston rod end of the third driving cylinder is connected to one of the placement rods.

[0116] In this way, the above-mentioned placement rod lateral movement control mechanism uses one cylinder to control the movement of the two placement rods, the structural design is simpler and more reasonable, saves components, and the movement of the two placement rods is more unified.
