Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sheet metal processing technology, and more specifically, to an automatic pad laying device. Background Technology
[0002] For various cabinet door panels, sliding doors and other panel materials, thermoplastic plastic rolls such as PVC, PE, PP, PET, and HIPS can be coated onto their surface through thermoforming, which enhances the aesthetics and premium feel of the materials and improves their waterproof and moisture-proof performance.
[0003] During the vacuum forming process, to ensure the quality of the four corners of the panel, it needs to be placed on a pad to ensure that the four corners and edges of the panel are well covered. However, since the shape and size of the panels in custom furniture are set according to the customization requirements, the shape and size of the pads also vary, requiring different pads to be made for different panels.
[0004] Currently, the methods for manufacturing pads include:
[0005] 1. Manual arrangement: Specifically, according to the shape and size of the board, pads are manually inserted into the corresponding positions on the base plate with array holes. This manual arrangement method has low production efficiency, high labor costs, and is prone to errors.
[0006] Second, automated equipment is used. The processing plane of the equipment is equipped with an array of pads. The raised pattern of the pads is set according to the shape and size of the sheet. By raising and lowering each pad, the processing plane presents a raised pattern to support the sheet. Since the pads cannot move back and forth, the vacuum forming process must be performed directly on the equipment, requiring a significant production time for each sheet. Due to the large number of pads, each pad requires an independent drive device, resulting in a complex and expensive overall structure. Furthermore, the harsh vacuum forming environment makes it prone to malfunctions and leads to high maintenance costs. This type of equipment is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale mass production. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic mat laying device; the device can automatically process mats, improve processing efficiency and save labor costs, the produced mats can meet the needs of laying plates of different shapes and sizes, the mats can be removed from the device for use, the device has low cost and is easy to maintain, and can meet the needs of large-scale mass production.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic pad laying device for arranging pads with embedded magnets according to a set layout pattern and magnetically adsorbing them onto a tray to form pads; comprising:
[0009] A pallet conveyor line used to transport pallets and detect their position;
[0010] A feeding device for storing pad blocks and feeding them one by one in an upright manner;
[0011] Used to convey pad blocks and arrange the pad blocks in a horizontal row above one or more discharge lines;
[0012] And a pushing device; the pushing device includes several pushing units for pushing the corresponding pads on the discharge line onto the tray;
[0013] The embedded magnet is located at the bottom of the pad; the feeding device is connected to the discharge line; the pallet conveyor line is provided with a laying area; in the width direction of the laying area, each position corresponds to a pushing unit;
[0014] The position of each pad on the pallet is calculated according to the set layout pattern. By detecting the position of the pallet and the conveying speed of the pallet conveyor line, the pallet is transported to the corresponding laying area. The pushing unit pushes the corresponding pad on the discharge line onto the pallet. After completion, the discharge line transports the pad to replenish the pad at the position where the pushed pad was placed.
[0015] The working principle of the device of this invention is as follows:
[0016] First, obtain the information of the pad to be processed: for example, read the information of the plate to be processed by scanning the code or other existing methods, and then calculate the pad information corresponding to the plate to be processed. The pad information includes the outline size of the pad, the arrangement pattern of the pad blocks, and the relative position information of the pad and the pallet.
[0017] Afterwards, the pallet conveyor line transports the pallets, the feeding device feeds the pads one by one, and the discharge line arranges the pads horizontally above the pallet conveyor line.
[0018] The position of each pad on the pallet is calculated based on the set layout pattern. By detecting the pallet position and the conveying speed of the pallet conveyor line, the pallet is transported to the corresponding laying area. The pushing unit pushes the corresponding pad on the discharge line onto the pallet. After completion, the discharge line transports pads to replenish the positions where the pushed pads were placed. If there are two or more discharge lines, after pushing pads to the laying area corresponding to one discharge line, the pallet is transported to the laying area corresponding to the next discharge line to push pads; this process continues until the pallet is moved out of the laying area. This method essentially presets the pallet as an array of evenly distributed pads. By laying pads on this array, a layout pattern is formed. If there is a pad in any row of the array, the pallet stops in the corresponding laying area for laying.
[0019] This invention automates the processing of pads, improving processing efficiency, saving labor costs, and reducing error rates. Pads of various shapes are formed by numerous pad blocks adsorbed onto a pallet, offering flexible combinations that can be customized according to the shape and size of the workpiece to be processed, meeting the padding needs of different workpieces. The pads can be removed from the equipment for use, satisfying the needs of large-scale mass production. Materials can be disassembled and reused without damage, saving production costs and improving production efficiency. Embedded magnets are eccentrically positioned at the bottom of the pad blocks. The feeding device feeds the pad blocks one by one in an upright manner, ensuring that the embedded magnets are close to the pallet when the pad blocks are pushed onto it, giving the pad blocks sufficient magnetic force to adhere to the pallet.
[0020] Preferably, the feeding device includes a material tray for storing pad blocks, and a flipping feeding mechanism for magnetically adsorbing the pad blocks from the material tray and flipping the pad blocks for conveying.
[0021] Preferably, the material tray includes a tray body, an inclined turntable, a fixed spindle, and a fixed lever; the inclined turntable is disposed in the tray body via a turntable rotation module to achieve rotation of the inclined turntable; a strong magnet is provided on the side of the tray body near the inclined turntable; the magnetic poles of the strong magnet facing the inclined turntable are the same as the magnetic poles of the embedded magnet in the pad facing downwards, so that when the embedded magnet in the pad faces downwards, it repels the strong magnet with the same pole, thus assisting the pad to flip so that the embedded magnet faces upwards; the fixed spindle is disposed in the tray body and extends from above the inclined turntable to connect with the fixed lever; the central area of the inclined turntable is an inclined surface that is high in the middle and low around the edges; the fixed lever is located above the inclined surface; a pusher block is provided on the edge area of the inclined turntable.
[0022] The pad is stored in the inclined turntable; during the rotation of the inclined turntable, the fixed lever remains stationary and rotates relative to the inclined turntable, thereby actuating the pad; when the embedded magnet in the pad faces down, it repels the strong magnet with the same pole, and under the push of the fixed lever or the pusher block, the pad flips so that the embedded magnet faces up.
[0023] Preferably, the flipping feeding mechanism includes a feeding conveyor pulley assembly and a feeding drive module for driving the feeding conveyor pulley assembly; one of the conveying wheels of the feeding conveyor pulley assembly is a magnetic suction wheel; the magnetic suction wheel is provided with feeding magnets in the circumferential direction to achieve magnetic adsorption of the pad; the magnetic suction wheel is located above the edge area of the inclined turntable.
[0024] The magnetic roller of the feeding conveyor belt assembly attracts the pads by magnetic attraction. As the pads in the material tray are flipped so that the embedded magnets face up, the embedded magnets are close to the magnetic roller, and the magnetic roller easily attracts the pads. Then, it flips them to the upright position to feed the pads one by one.
[0025] Preferably, there are two or more discharge lines; the feeding device and the discharge line are directly connected, or connected through a turning device and a connecting device. Connecting the feeding device and the discharge line through turning and connecting devices allows for a one-to-many arrangement of feeding devices and discharge lines, simplifying the equipment structure and reducing equipment costs. Multiple discharge lines ensure that pad blocks are replenished promptly at the pushing position, enabling reliable and rapid pad block placement.
[0026] Preferably, the turning device includes a turning track, a deflector wheel, and a turning drive module for driving the deflector wheel to rotate; the deflector wheel has a friction plate underneath; and the turning track is located below the deflector wheel.
[0027] Preferably, the discharge line includes a discharge conveyor pulley mechanism and a conveying drive module for driving the discharge conveyor pulley mechanism; the discharge conveyor pulley mechanism is provided with a limiting block for limiting the forward displacement of the pad block in the conveying direction of the discharge line; on the side of the discharge conveyor pulley mechanism away from the pushing device, a limiting frame for limiting the displacement of the pad block is provided.
[0028] Preferably, in the pushing device, each pushing unit includes a primary pushing module, a secondary extraction module, a material support base plate, and a pushing frame;
[0029] The primary pushing module and the secondary extraction module are connected; the pushing frame is located above the discharge line; the pushing frame is connected to the primary pushing module so that the primary pushing module pushes the pushing frame forward, thereby pushing the pad block from the discharge line to the material support plate; the material support plate extends from below the discharge line to form a material support surface; the secondary extraction module is connected to the material support plate so that the secondary extraction module pulls the material support plate backward.
[0030] The working principle of the pushing device is as follows: the first-stage pushing module pushes the pushing frame forward, pushing the pad block from the discharge line to the material support surface of the material support base plate; the first-stage pushing module resets the pushing frame; then, the second-stage extraction module pulls the material support base plate backward. Since the side of the discharge line acts as a block and positioner, the pad block cannot detach from the material support base plate as it moves backward, and the pad block falls downward due to gravity.
[0031] This feeding device can achieve two-stage descent of the pad blocks, avoiding damage to the pad blocks due to excessive descent height at one time, improving the accuracy of the pad block's falling position and angle, and preventing disruption of the arrangement order and position; it has good reliability and stability; before the pad block falls a second time, the side of the discharge line can position the pad block against the edge, making the initial position of the pad block more accurate during the second descent, which is conducive to further improving the accuracy of the falling position.
[0032] Preferably, the pusher frame is provided with a remote stop for limiting the displacement of the pad block on the side away from the first-stage pusher module; the remote stop includes a stop mounting part, a connecting plate and a baffle; the stop mounting part is connected to the pusher frame; the connecting plate is connected between the stop mounting part and the baffle.
[0033] Preferably, the material support base plate is connected to the secondary extraction module via a mounting block; the material support base plate is multi-layered and stepped; the height of each layer decreases as the material support base plate extends from the end connected to the mounting block to the other end. This structure can improve the mechanical strength and load-bearing capacity of the material support base plate, and also save the space required for the device to operate, which is conducive to improving the compactness of the equipment structure.
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0035] 1. The equipment of this invention can automate the processing of pads, improving processing efficiency, saving labor costs, and reducing error rates. Pads of different shapes are formed by numerous pad blocks adsorbed onto a pallet, offering flexible combinations that can be customized according to the shape and size of the workpiece to be processed, meeting the padding needs of different workpieces. The pads can be removed from the equipment for use, satisfying the needs of large-scale mass production. Materials can be disassembled and reused without damage, saving production costs and improving production efficiency. An embedded magnet is eccentrically positioned at the bottom of the pad block. The feeding device feeds the pad blocks one by one in an upright manner, ensuring that the embedded magnet is close to the pallet when the pad block is pushed onto it, giving the pad block sufficient magnetic force to adhere to the pallet.
[0036] 2. In this invention, the feeding device can ensure that it has sufficient magnetic force with the pad, so that the pad is attracted and fed. The pads can be fed one by one in an upright manner.
[0037] 3. In this invention, the pushing device can achieve two-stage descent of the pad block, avoiding damage to the pad block due to excessive descent height at one time, improving the accuracy of the pad block's falling position and angle, and avoiding disruption of the arrangement order and position; it has good reliability and stability.
[0038] 4.

Detailed Implementation
[0051] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0052] Example
[0053] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, this embodiment is an automatic pad laying device, used to arrange pad blocks 8 with embedded magnets 81 according to a set layout pattern and magnetically attach them to a tray 9 to form a pad; the embedded magnets 81 are located at the lower part of the pad blocks 8.
[0054] The automatic mat laying equipment includes:
[0055] Pallet conveyor line 7 is used to transport pallets 9 and detect the position of pallets 9;
[0056] A feeding device for storing pad blocks 8 and feeding pad blocks 8 one by one in an upright manner;
[0057] Used to convey the pad blocks 8 and arrange the pad blocks 8 in a horizontal row above the pallet conveyor line 7 by one or more discharge lines 5;
[0058] And a pushing device 6; the pushing device 6 includes several pushing units for pushing the corresponding pads 8 on the discharge line 5 onto the tray 9.
[0059] The pallet conveyor line 7 can adopt existing technologies, such as pulley drive mechanisms.
[0060] The feeding device includes a material tray 1 for storing pad blocks 8, and a flipping feeding mechanism 2 for magnetically adsorbing the pad blocks 8 from the material tray 1 and flipping the pad blocks 8 for conveying.
[0061] The material tray 1 includes a tray body 11, an inclined turntable 12, a fixed spindle 13, and a fixed lever 14. The inclined turntable 12 is set in the tray body 11 through a turntable rotation module 17 to realize the rotation of the inclined turntable 12. A strong magnet 16 is provided on the side of the tray body 11 near the inclined turntable 12. The magnetic pole of the strong magnet 16 facing the inclined turntable 12 is the same as the magnetic pole of the embedded magnet 81 in the pad 8 facing downward, so that when the embedded magnet 81 in the pad 8 faces downward, it repels the strong magnet 16 with the same pole, thus assisting the pad 8 to flip so that the embedded magnet 81 faces upward. The fixed spindle 13 is set in the tray body 11 and extends from above the inclined turntable 12 to connect with the fixed lever 14. The central area of the inclined turntable 12 is an inclined surface that is high in the middle and low around the edges. The fixed lever 14 is located above the inclined surface. A pusher block 15 is provided on the edge area of the inclined turntable 12.
[0062] The flipping feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding conveyor pulley assembly and a feeding drive module 21 for driving the feeding conveyor pulley assembly. One of the conveying wheels of the feeding conveyor pulley assembly is a magnetic suction wheel 22. The magnetic suction wheel 22 is provided with feeding magnets 23 in the circumferential direction to achieve magnetic adsorption of the pad block 8. The magnetic suction wheel 22 is located above the edge area of the inclined turntable 12.
[0063] The pad 8 is stored in the inclined turntable 12. During the rotation of the inclined turntable 12, the fixed lever 14 remains stationary and rotates relative to the inclined turntable 12, thereby actuating the pad 8. When the embedded magnet 81 of the pad 8 faces downward, it repels the strong magnet 16 with the same pole. Under the push of the fixed lever 14 or the pusher block 15, the pad 8 flips so that the embedded magnet 81 faces upward.
[0064] The magnetic roller 22 of the feeding conveyor belt assembly attracts the pad 8 by magnetic attraction. Since the pad 8 in the material tray 1 is flipped so that the embedded magnet 81 is facing upward, the embedded magnet 81 is close to the magnetic roller 22, and the magnetic roller 22 easily attracts the pad 8. Then it is flipped to the upright position to feed the pad 8 one by one.
[0065] In this embodiment, there are four discharge lines 5; in practical applications, more than one line is sufficient, for example, one, two, three, four, five, or even more. The feeding device and the discharge lines 5 are directly connected, or connected through the turning device 3 and the connecting device 4. Connecting the feeding device and the discharge lines 5 through the turning device 3 and the connecting device 4 allows for a one-to-many arrangement of the feeding device and the discharge lines 5, simplifying the equipment structure and reducing equipment costs.
[0066] The connecting device 4 can use existing transmission devices, such as belt drive mechanisms. The turning device 3 includes a turning track 33, a deflector wheel 32, and a turning drive module 31 for driving the deflector wheel 32 to rotate; a friction plate 34 is located below the deflector wheel 32; the turning track 33 is located below the deflector wheel 32.
[0067] Each discharge line 5 includes a discharge conveyor pulley mechanism 51 and a conveying drive module 55 for driving the discharge conveyor pulley mechanism 51 to work; the discharge conveyor pulley mechanism 51 is provided with a limiting block 54 for limiting the forward displacement of the pad block 8 in the conveying direction of the discharge line 5; on the side of the discharge conveyor pulley mechanism 51 away from the pushing device 6, a limiting frame 53 for limiting the displacement of the pad block 8 is provided.
[0068] Pallet conveyor line 7 has a paving area; in the width direction of the paving area (e.g. Figure 1 As indicated by the arrow, each position corresponds to a pushing unit. Each pushing unit includes a primary pushing module 61, a secondary extraction module 62, a material support base plate 64, and a pushing frame 63.
[0069] The primary pushing module 61 and the secondary extraction module 62 are connected; the pushing frame 63 is located above the discharge line 5; the pushing frame 63 is connected to the primary pushing module 61 so that the primary pushing module 61 pushes the pushing frame 63 forward, thereby pushing the pad 8 from the discharge line 5 onto the material support plate 64; the material support plate 64 extends from below the discharge line 5 to form a material support surface; the secondary extraction module 62 is connected to the material support plate 64 so that the secondary extraction module 62 pulls the material support plate 64 backward. The primary pushing module 61 and the secondary extraction module 62 can be cylinders, and the cylinder extension rods of the primary pushing module 61 and the secondary extraction module 62 are set in opposite directions.
[0070] The working principle of the pushing device 6 is as follows: the state before pushing is shown in Figure 10(a); the first-stage pushing module 61 pushes the pushing frame 63 forward, as shown in Figure 10(b), and pushes the pad 8 from the discharge line 5 to the material support surface of the material support base plate 64, as shown in Figure 10(c); the first-stage pushing module 61 resets the pushing frame 63, as shown in Figure 10(d); then, the second-stage extraction module 62 pulls the material support base plate 64 backward, as shown in Figure 10(e). Since the side of the discharge line 5 plays a blocking and positioning role, the pad 8 cannot be separated from the material support base plate 64 as the material support base plate 64 moves backward. The pad 8 falls downward by gravity, as shown in Figure 10(f).
[0071] The feeding device 6 can achieve two-stage descent of the pad block 8, avoiding damage to the pad block 8 due to excessive descent height at one time, improving the accuracy of the descent position and angle of the pad block 8, and avoiding disruption of the arrangement order and position; it has good reliability and stability; before the pad block 8 falls for the second time, the side of the discharge line 5 can position the pad block 8 to the side, making the initial position of the pad block 8 more accurate for the second descent, which is conducive to further improving the accuracy of the descent position.
[0072] The pusher frame 63 is provided with a far end stop 65 on the side away from the first-stage pusher module 61 for limiting the displacement of the pad block 8; the far end stop 65 includes a stop mounting part, a connecting plate and a baffle; the stop mounting part is connected to the pusher frame 63; the connecting plate is connected between the stop mounting part and the baffle.
[0073] The material support base plate 64 is connected to the secondary extraction module 62 via the mounting block 66; the material support base plate 64 is multi-layered stepped; as the material support base plate 64 extends from the end connected to the mounting block 66 to the other end, the height of each layer decreases. This structure can improve the mechanical strength and load-bearing capacity of the material support base plate 64, and also save the space required for the device to operate, which is conducive to improving the compactness of the equipment structure.
[0074] The position of each pad 8 on the pallet 9 is calculated according to the set layout pattern. By detecting the position of the pallet and the conveying speed of the pallet conveyor line 7, the pallet 9 is transferred to the corresponding laying area. The pushing unit pushes the corresponding pad 8 on the discharge line 5 onto the pallet 9. After completion, the discharge line 5 conveys the pad 8 to replenish the pad 8 at the position where the pad 8 was pushed.
[0075] The working principle of the device of this invention is as follows:
[0076] First, obtain the information of the pad to be processed: for example, read the information of the plate to be processed by scanning the code or other existing methods, and then calculate the pad information corresponding to the plate to be processed. The pad information includes the outline size of the pad, the arrangement pattern of the pad blocks, and the relative position information with the pallet.
[0077] Afterwards, the pallet conveyor line 7 transports the pallet 9, the feeding device feeds the pads 8 one by one, and the discharge line 5 arranges the pads 8 horizontally above the pallet conveyor line 7.
[0078] The position of each pad 8 on the pallet 9 is calculated according to the set layout pattern. By detecting the position of the pallet and the conveying speed of the pallet conveyor line 7, the pallet 9 is transferred to the corresponding laying area. The pushing unit pushes the corresponding pad 8 on the discharge line 5 onto the pallet. After completion, the discharge line 5 conveys the pad 8 to replenish the pad 8 at the position where the pad 8 was pushed off. This process is repeated until the pallet 9 is moved out of the laying area.
[0079] This invention's equipment can automate the processing of pads, improving processing efficiency, saving labor costs, and reducing error rates. Pads of different shapes are formed by magnetic adsorption of pad blocks 8 and trays 9, offering flexible combinations to meet the needs of padding different shapes and sizes of plates. The pads can be removed from the equipment for use, satisfying the needs of large-scale mass production. Materials can be disassembled and reused without damage, saving production costs and improving production efficiency. An embedded magnet 81 is eccentrically positioned at the bottom of the pad block 8. The feeding device feeds the pad blocks 8 one by one in an upright manner, ensuring that when the pad block 8 is pushed onto the tray 9, the embedded magnet 81 is close to the tray 9, giving the pad block 8 sufficient magnetic force to adhere to the tray 9.
