Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of profile processing technology, specifically to a profile snap-fit panel production device. Background Technology
[0002] Interlocking profiles are a common type of connecting material used in warehouse racking. Primarily used in racking frames, they connect the profiles on both sides of the frame, ensuring the stability and integrity of the racking. At the same time, interlocking profiles can bear the weight of the goods and distribute the load across the various connection points of the racking frame, preventing concentrated loads from causing deformation or damage to the racking.
[0003] In the manufacturing process of profiled interlocking panels, two profiles need to be interlocked and sent to a pressing machine for pressing to form an interlocking panel. On the production line, when interlocking two profiles, the existing technology uses robotic arms to grasp, transfer, and place the individual profile panels because rotation is required. However, this process is costly in terms of customization, procurement, installation, and debugging. Furthermore, the multi-degree-of-freedom rotation of the robotic arm occupies a large area, and the high performance requirements of the servo system result in significant power consumption, which is not conducive to energy conservation.

[0023] A plurality of roller sets are arranged at intervals along the length of the base frame. Each roller set includes a pair of first parallel supports on both sides of the width of the base frame. An upper through shaft and a lower through shaft are provided between the pair of first parallel supports at an interval.

[0038] The beneficial effects of this invention are mainly reflected in the following: This profile snap-fit plate production device processes raw materials sequentially through various steps to ultimately form profile snap-fit plates. Upon entering the snap-fit process, an intercepting snap-fit plate stops the preceding profile plate. During interception, the advancing profile plate collides with the intercepting snap-fit plate, causing the intercepting snap-fit plate to rotate and tilt. This allows the flipping part of the intercepting snap-fit plate to lift the profile plate. When the next profile plate collides with the preceding profile plate, the two complete the snap-fit and pass through the interception area to enter the next pressing process. The snap-fit components alone can complete the snap-fit between two profile plates, significantly reducing costs and floor space. Attached Figure Description

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the preferred embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0047] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0048] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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 application.
[0049] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or display that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or display.
[0050] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 A profile snap-fit panel production device, in this embodiment, includes a raw material supply mechanism 1, a panel forming mechanism 2, a cutting mechanism 3, a transfer mechanism 4, a pressing mechanism 14, and a controller.
[0051] Among them, the raw material supply unit 1 is used to hold and deliver the boards.
[0052] The sheet forming mechanism 2 is located on one side of the raw material supply mechanism 1 and is used to roll the sheet to bend both sides of the sheet.
[0053] The cutting mechanism 3 is located on one side of the sheet metal forming mechanism 2 and is used to cut the formed sheet metal.
[0054] The transfer mechanism 4 is located on one side of the cutting mechanism 3 and is used to transfer the profile in the forward direction.
[0055] The pressing mechanism 14 is located on one side of the transfer mechanism 4 and is used to press the snap-fit profiles into a finished product.
[0056] The controller is electrically connected to the raw material supply mechanism 1, the sheet forming mechanism 2, the cutting mechanism 3, the transfer mechanism 4, and the pressing mechanism 14.
[0057] The raw materials are coiled and wound around the raw material supply mechanism 1, and then successively undergo forming, cutting, transfer and fastening, and pressing processes to produce profile fastening panels. The mechanisms for each process can be arranged in a line, and the processes are interconnected.
[0058] Specifically, the transfer mechanism 4 includes a support frame 5, a first transfer component 6, a second transfer component 7, and several locking teeth 8. The support frame 5 can be divided into two sections. The first transfer component 6 can be located on one section of the support frame 5, and the second transfer component 7 can be located on the other section of the support frame 5. The first transfer component 6 is connected to the cutting mechanism 3 and has the same transfer direction. The second transfer component 7 can be embedded in the first transfer component 6, and the transfer direction of the second transfer component 7 is perpendicular to the transfer direction of the first transfer component 6, thereby changing the profile sheet's movement from vertical to horizontal. The locking teeth 8 are located on the second transfer component 7 to drive the profile sheet to move, thereby hooking the profile sheet on the first transfer component 6 onto the second transfer component 7.
[0059] More specifically, the transfer mechanism 4 is also equipped with a fastening component 9, which includes a pair of bases 10, a rotating rod 11, and several intercepting fastening plates 12. The rotating rod 11 is rotatably mounted on the pair of bases 10 and spans across the second transfer component 7. The intercepting fastening plates 12 are fixedly mounted on the rotating rod 11. Preferably, there are two intercepting fastening plates 12, distributed between the gaps of another support frame 5, so that the interception will not fail due to the tilt of the profile plate. The bottom of the intercepting fastening plate 12 has a turning part 13 that bends towards the incoming material direction. The contact surface of the turning part 13 is lower than the incoming material, so that the incoming profile plate can slide into the contact surface of the turning part 13. After being impacted by the profile plate, the turning part 13 rotates a certain angle around the rotating rod 11 as the center. During the rotation, the contact surface of the turning part 13 performs a flipping action on the profile plate, causing the subsequent two profile plates to fasten together.
[0060] In a more specific implementation of this embodiment, the support frames 5 are spaced apart, and the second transmission component 7 includes a support shaft 35, a sixth drive motor 36, and long and short sprockets 37. The support shaft 35 passes through the support frame 5, the sixth drive motor 36 is mounted on the support frame 5, the output shaft of the sixth drive motor 36 is connected to the support shaft 35, the long and short sprockets 37 are sleeved on the support shaft 35, and the locking teeth 8 are mounted on the long and short sprockets 37.
[0061] In practice, four support shafts 35 can be provided, two sixth drive motors 36 can be provided, and long and short sprockets 37 include long sprockets and short sprockets. The long sprockets are located on two of the support shafts 35 and are driven to rotate by one sixth drive motor 36. The short sprockets are located on the other two support shafts 35 and are driven to rotate by the other sixth drive motor 36.
[0062] The long sprockets are laid out along the length of another support frame 5, while the short sprockets are laid down below the rotating rod 11. Both the long and short sprockets are equipped with locking teeth 8. When the short sprockets rotate, the locking teeth 8 on top move the profile plates to below the rotating rod 11, allowing the first profile plate to stop. The subsequent profile plates, driven by the locking teeth 8, pass through the rotating rod 11 and engage with the first profile plate, moving directly to the end of the long sprockets, thus entering the next process. The support frame 5 is equipped with a first sensor 39 and a second sensor 40. The sixth drive motor 36, the first sensor 39, and the second sensor 40 are electrically connected to the controller. The first sensor 39 is used to sense when the workpiece arrives at the short sprocket position, thereby controlling one of the sixth drive motors 36 to drive the short sprocket to rotate. The second sensor 40 is used to sense when the workpiece arrives below the rotating rod 11, thereby controlling another sixth drive motor 36 to drive the long sprocket to rotate.
[0063] In one embodiment of this invention, the intercepting fastening plate 12 is provided with a counterweight 38. The counterweight 38 can be added or removed to adjust the counterforce between the intercepting fastening plate 12 and a single profile plate for profile plates of different weights.

[0065] The material-carrying shaft 16 is rotatably mounted on the support base 15 via a bearing.

[0067] The limiting plate 18 is disposed on the material-carrying shaft 16 and is located on both sides of the width direction of the material.
[0068] Working principle: The raw material is coiled on the material carrier shaft 16 and limited by the limiting plate 18 to prevent it from falling off axially. The first drive motor 17 drives the material carrier shaft 16 to continuously advance the raw material.
[0069] As a more specific implementation of this embodiment, the sheet metal forming mechanism 2 includes a base frame 19, a plurality of first traction wheel sets 20 and a plurality of rolling wheel sets 24.

[0071] Several roller sets 24 are spaced apart along the length of the base frame 19. Each roller set 24 includes a pair of first parallel supports 25 on both sides of the width of the base frame 19. An upper through shaft 26 and a lower through shaft 27 are provided between the pair of first parallel supports 25.

[0072] Both the second drive motor 21 and the third drive motor 30 are connected to the controller via electrical signals.
[0073] Specifically, the width of the protrusions of the plurality of convex rollers 28 increases sequentially, and the width of the recesses of the plurality of concave rollers 29 increases sequentially.
[0074] Working principle: When the second drive motor 21 rotates, the raw material is pulled into the rolling mill group 24 through the first traction groove 23, and is gradually rolled by several convex rolling mills 28 and concave rolling mills 29 to form a material plate.

[0079] Hydraulic cylinder 33 is connected to the controller via electrical signals.
[0080] Working principle: After the profile plate enters the through groove 32, the piston rod driven by the hydraulic cylinder 33 pushes the cutting blade 34 to cut the profile plate.
[0081] As a more specific implementation of this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 14 includes a frame 41, a second traction wheel set 42, and a pressing wheel set 46.
[0082] A plurality of second traction wheel sets 42 are spaced apart along the length of the frame 41.

[0083] Several pressing roller sets 46 are spaced apart along the length of the frame 41.

An upper pressing roller 48 and a lower pressing roller 49 are provided between the pair of second parallel supports 47 and are spaced apart vertically. The upper pressing roller 48 and the lower pressing roller 49 are driven to rotate by a fifth drive motor 50.
[0084] The fourth drive motor 43 and the fifth drive motor 50 are also connected to the controller's electrical signals.
[0085] Working principle: After passing through the transfer mechanism 4 and the fastening component 9, the fastened profile plate enters the second traction wheel group 42. The second traction groove 45 pulls the fastened plate to the pressing wheel group 46. Through the rolling pressing of the upper pressing wheel 48 and the lower pressing wheel 49, the two fastened profile plates are formed into one piece, thus completing the production process.
