Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of equipment technology for warehouse pallet production, and in particular to a tie rod pulling machine for automated production of warehouse pallets. Background Technology

[0002] Storage pallets are used for displaying and storing goods. They are usually composed of a board and multiple reinforcing ribs. In the production process, the board is first processed into a board by a board forming machine. Then, operators put multiple reinforcing ribs into the board. The board is then sent to a rib arrangement mechanism to arrange the position of the reinforcing ribs. Finally, a gantry spot welding machine spots welds each reinforcing rib to fix it.

[0003] Our company designs a rib-stretching and plate-pulling machine, which includes a frame, conveyor belt, gantry module, crossbar, and rear gripping assembly. The gantry module and conveyor belt are mounted on the frame. The crossbar is mounted on the gantry module via a lifting cylinder and can be raised and lowered and moved along the module. The rear gripping assembly consists of two vertical bars, perpendicular to the crossbar. The vertical bars are equipped with rear grippers with trapezoidal openings, which can move downwards to press down on the reinforcing ribs and pull the reinforcing ribs under the drive of the gantry module. Together with the gantry spot welding machine, it completes the spot welding of each rib.

[0004] The drawbacks of this solution are: the size of the rear gripper must be consistent with the reinforcing ribs of the storage plate being produced. When the size of the reinforcing rib changes, it is necessary to replace each rear gripper of the rib-pulling machine, which consumes production time and is not conducive to improving efficiency. When the position of the reinforcing rib is not accurate enough, the rear gripper and the reinforcing rib will collide, damaging the product and equipment, affecting product quality, and causing downtime for adjustment.

[0005] Therefore, improvements to existing technologies are necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a bracing and plate pulling machine for automated production of storage pallets, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0007] One technical solution adopted by the present invention is: providing a rib-pulling machine for automated production of storage panels, comprising: a frame, a conveyor belt, a gantry module, a crossbeam, profiles, a clamping assembly, and a rib-pulling assembly. The conveyor belt and the gantry module are mounted on the frame. The two stroke modules of the gantry module are located on both sides of the conveyor belt. Lifting components are provided on the stroke blocks of the stroke modules. Each end of the crossbeam is connected to a lifting assembly, which can move forward, backward, and up and down relative to the conveyor belt. The end of the profile is connected to the crossbeam. The clamping assembly is located on the lower surface of the profile near the crossbeam.

[0008] The clamping assembly includes several fixed claws, a clamping cylinder, an adjustable connecting rod, and several movable claws. The fixed claws are distributed on the profile, the clamping cylinder is located on the upper surface of the profile near the crossbeam, the adjustable connecting rod is located at the drive end of the clamping cylinder, and the movable claws are distributed on the adjustable connecting rod and spaced apart from the fixed claws.

[0009] Furthermore, the gantry module also includes a coupling and a servo motor. The coupling connects two stroke modules, and the servo motor drives the coupling.

[0010] Furthermore, the stroke module is mounted on the frame via a module tray, and the connecting shaft passes through the conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a base plate and a rail side plate. The rail side plate is vertically mounted on the base plate. The end of the crossbeam is mounted on the rail side plate via a side plate slider. The base plate is also equipped with a lifting cylinder. The driving end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the crossbeam, driving the crossbeam to rise and fall on the rail side plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder and a Z-shaped clamping plate. The Z-shaped clamping plate is disposed at the driving end of the clamping cylinder, and a baffle that cooperates with the Z-shaped clamping plate is disposed on the profile. When the storage plate reaches the spot welding position, the profile descends, and the clamping assembly clamps the edge of the plate to position and move the plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the profile is also provided with a clamping plate guide rail, and the Z-shaped clamping plate is mounted on the clamping plate guide rail via an upper slider.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper surface of the profile is provided with a ribbed guide rail, and the movable claw is shaped like a saddle, mounted on the profile and set on the ribbed guide rail by an inner slider, with its top fixed to an adjustable connecting rod by bolts.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a second crossbeam, which is set at both ends of the profile. The second crossbeam is set on the frame via a set of rails. When the length of the storage pallet is more than 1.4 meters, the second crossbeam is needed to stabilize the profile and prevent it from shaking.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the tie rod pulling machine for automated production of storage pallets of the present invention are:

[0017] 1. The profile is designed with moving claws and fixed claws to clamp the reinforcing ribs, which can accommodate reinforcing ribs of different sizes. When the size of the reinforcing ribs changes, there is no need to change the clamping structure of the rib pulling machine, saving production time and improving production efficiency.

[0018] 2. At the same time, when the position of the reinforcing rib is not accurate enough, the position of the reinforcing rib can be adjusted as the moving claw approaches the fixed claw, avoiding collision between the clamping structure and the reinforcing rib, extending the service life of the equipment, avoiding downtime for adjustment, and ensuring product production efficiency and quality.

[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more explicit definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "horizontal", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this invention, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4The first embodiment of the present invention provides a rib-pulling machine for automated production of storage panels, including: a frame, a conveyor belt, a gantry module, a crossbeam, profiles, edge clamping components and rib clamping components. The conveyor belt and the gantry module are mounted on the frame. The two stroke modules of the gantry module are located on both sides of the conveyor belt. The crossbeam is mounted on the two stroke modules and can move along the stroke modules to pull the storage panels on the conveyor belt. Lifting components are provided on the stroke blocks of the stroke modules. Each end of the crossbeam is connected to a lifting component, which can move forward, backward and up and down relative to the conveyor belt. The end of the profile is connected to the crossbeam, and an edge clamping component is provided on its lower surface near the crossbeam for clamping the edge of the storage panel.

[0028] The rib clamping assembly includes several fixed claws, a rib clamping cylinder, an adjustable connecting rod, and several movable claws. The fixed claws are distributed on the profile, the rib clamping cylinder is located on the upper surface of the profile near the crossbeam, the adjustable connecting rod is located at the drive end of the rib clamping cylinder and is parallel to the profile, and the movable claws are distributed on the adjustable connecting rod and are spaced apart from the fixed claws. A pair of corresponding fixed claws and movable claws can clamp a reinforcing rib.

[0029] Specifically, the gantry module also includes a coupling and a servo motor. The coupling connects two stroke modules, and the servo motor drives the coupling to move the crossbeam on the stroke module. The movement stroke of the crossbeam is controlled by the specific interval of the reinforcing ribs, and the reinforcing ribs are spot welded in conjunction with the corresponding spot welding machine.

[0030] Specifically, the travel module is mounted on the frame via a module tray and passes between the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt via a connecting shaft.

[0031] The lifting assembly includes a base plate and a rail side plate. The rail side plate is vertically mounted on the base plate. The end of the crossbeam is mounted on the rail side plate via a side plate slider, allowing it to move vertically. A lifting cylinder is also mounted on the base plate. The drive end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the crossbeam, driving the crossbeam to rise and fall on the rail side plate.

[0032] Specifically, the connection between the base plate and the rail side plate is reinforced on both sides by triangular side plates.

[0033] The clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder and a Z-shaped clamping plate. The Z-shaped clamping plate is located at the drive end of the clamping cylinder and can extend and retract along the profile. The profile is also equipped with a baffle that cooperates with the Z-shaped clamping plate. When the storage plate reaches the spot welding position, the profile descends, and the Z-shaped clamping plate moves toward the baffle to clamp the edge of the plate to position and move the plate.

[0034] Specifically, the profile is also equipped with a clamping guide rail, and the Z-shaped clamping plate is set on the clamping guide rail by the upper slider, making the structure more stable.

[0035] The upper surface of the profile is equipped with a rib guide rail. The moving claw is shaped like a saddle, rests on the profile, and is set on the rib guide rail by an inner slider. It moves along the profile under the drive of the rib cylinder.

[0036] Specifically, the top of the movable claw is fitted onto the adjustable connecting rod, and bolt holes are provided. It is then fixed and locked to the adjustable connecting rod by bolts.

[0037] Please see Figure 5 In the second embodiment of the present invention, by setting a second crossbeam, both ends of the profile can be connected to the frame. The second crossbeam and the crossbeam are respectively set at both ends of the profile. The second crossbeam is set on the frame by a set of rails. The double crossbeam structure is suitable for storage panels with a length of more than 1.4 meters. It can stabilize the profile and prevent the profile from shaking during lifting and moving.

[0038] Specifically, in order to work with the corresponding spot welding machine, the second crossbeam is usually set on the frame of the front conveyor belt of the spot welding machine via a set of rails, and the crossbeam is usually set on the frame of the rear conveyor belt of the spot welding machine via a gantry module, so as to leave space for the spot welding machine.

[0039] The rest of the design is the same as in the first embodiment.

[0040] The beneficial effects of the tie rod pulling machine for automated production of storage pallets of the present invention are:

[0041] 1. The profile is designed with moving claws and fixed claws to clamp the reinforcing ribs, which can accommodate reinforcing ribs of different sizes. When the size of the reinforcing ribs changes, there is no need to change the clamping structure of the rib pulling machine, saving production time and improving production efficiency.

[0042] 2. At the same time, when the position of the reinforcing rib is not accurate enough, the position of the reinforcing rib can be adjusted as the moving claw approaches the fixed claw, avoiding collision between the clamping structure and the reinforcing rib, extending the service life of the equipment, avoiding downtime for adjustment, and ensuring product production efficiency and quality.

[0043] 3. A double crossbeam structure is used to connect with the profile to form a whole, preventing the profile from shaking and ensuring its stability.

[0044] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
