Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of door and window processing and manufacturing, and in particular to a door and window profile processing material conveying channel and a working method. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In the process of processing profiles into doors and windows, the profiles will be processed in different ways according to different production processes. For example, after the profile is loaded into the processing center and the first process is completed, it needs to pass through the feeding channel to reach the next processing process or processing center. The connection between multiple processes through the feeding channel forms an automated door and window processing method.

[0004] The feeding channel generally uses a clamping device to fix the profiles that have been processed in the previous process, and then transports them to the next process. After the transportation is completed, the clamping device resets and waits for the next group of profiles. The clamping device in this way generally uses the bottom surface of the profile as the transportation surface, drives the profile to move through rollers, and uses the two side surfaces of the profile as the clamping surface. Due to the large differences in the specifications and sizes of the profiles, some profiles with excessive length and size cannot be reliably fixed by clamping only on the two side surfaces, which will result in the profiles being unable to be smoothly transported to the subsequent processing center, causing the automated processing line to stagnate and affecting production efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention provides a door and window profile processing feed channel and a working method, wherein a discharging gripper and a feeding gripper are provided on different tracks of the feed channel, and the two grippers cooperate to take out profiles of different shapes from the previous processing step and send them to the next processing step, and the discharging gripper clamps the profiles in both horizontal and vertical directions to ensure that large-sized profiles can be reliably clamped and fixed, so as to be smoothly sent to subsequent processing links.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The first aspect of the present invention provides a material conveying channel for processing door and window profiles, comprising a roller assembly, a first guide rail assembly and a second guide rail assembly arranged in parallel, the first guide rail assembly being movably connected to a discharging gripper, and the second guide rail assembly being movably connected to a feeding gripper; the roller assembly comprises a plurality of horizontal rollers and vertical rollers arranged in parallel, a vertical surface formed by the plurality of vertical rollers being perpendicular to a plane formed by the plurality of horizontal rollers, and a space formed between the vertical surface and the plane being used to accommodate profiles;

[0008] The discharging gripper includes a discharging bracket, which is provided with a horizontal clamping plate that moves in the horizontal direction, and a vertical pressing plate that moves in the vertical direction. The horizontal clamping plate is close to or away from the vertical surface formed by multiple vertical rollers, and is used to clamp the profile from the horizontal direction. The vertical pressing plate is close to or away from the plane formed by multiple horizontal rollers, and is used to press the profile from the vertical direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the horizontal clamping plate is arranged in the vertical direction, with one side connected to the movable end of the clamping cylinder and the other side facing a plurality of vertical rollers. The side close to the vertical rollers is detachably connected to the horizontal clamp, and the fixed end of the clamping cylinder is connected to the discharge bracket. The clamping cylinder moves in the horizontal direction, driving the horizontal clamping plate together with the horizontal clamp to approach or move away from the vertical surface formed by the plurality of vertical rollers, so as to clamp the profile from the horizontal direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the side of the horizontal clamping plate close to the vertical roller is connected to the vertical pressing plate through a vertical slide rail assembly. The top of the vertical pressing plate is connected to the movable end of the pressing cylinder, and the bottom end is detachably connected to the vertical clamp. The fixed end of the pressing cylinder is connected to the discharge bracket. The pressing cylinder moves in the vertical direction, driving the vertical pressing plate together with the vertical clamp to press the profile from the vertical direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding gripper includes a first feeding bracket and a second feeding bracket. The first feeding bracket moves in a vertical direction and is slidably connected to the second feeding bracket. The second feeding bracket is slidably connected to the track of the second guide rail assembly. The second feeding bracket is provided with a feeding motor. The gear connected to the output shaft of the feeding motor is meshed with the rack of the second guide rail assembly. The feeding motor drives the feeding gripper to move along the second guide rail assembly, and the clamping module on the first feeding bracket clamps the ribs or edge structure of the profile, and drives the profile to the next process.

[0012] Furthermore, the second feeding bracket is connected to the fixed end of the first cylinder, the movable end of the first cylinder is connected to the first feeding bracket, and the first cylinder moves in the vertical direction to drive the first feeding bracket to move in the vertical direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the second feeding bracket is connected to a clamping power module, which includes a second cylinder moving in a vertical direction and a third cylinder moving in a horizontal direction, and the third cylinder drives the clamping module to move to achieve clamping;

[0014] The movable end of the second cylinder is movably connected to the outer side of the circumference of the second shaft, one end of the second shaft is connected to the clamping module, and the other end is movably connected to the column of the first feeding bracket. The second cylinder drives the second shaft to rotate along its own axis at a set angle;

[0015] The movable end of the third cylinder is movably connected to one end of the driving plate, the middle of the driving plate is movably connected to the top end of the horizontally arranged central shaft, and the other end of the driving plate is movably connected to one end of the first shaft.

[0016] Furthermore, the tail end of the central shaft is connected to the first feeding bracket, and the top end is a rotation point movably connected to the driving plate. The action axis of the third cylinder, the axis where the central shaft is located, and the axis of the first shaft are arranged side by side and in the same vertical plane, so that the driving plate and the central shaft form a lever structure. The horizontal movement of the third cylinder is transmitted to the first shaft through the driving plate, driving the first shaft to move along its own axis direction.

[0017] Furthermore, the first shaft, the second shaft and the third shaft are coaxially connected in sequence, and the third shaft is connected to the outer shell of the clamping module; the second shaft is connected to the clamping module, and is used to make the clamping module produce a rotation motion at a set angle under the drive of the second cylinder, thereby changing the angle of the clamping module relative to the horizontal plane; the first shaft is connected to the claw mechanism of the clamping module, and the first shaft undergoes axial motion under the drive of the third cylinder, so that the claw mechanism of the clamping module is opened or closed.

[0018] The second aspect of the present invention provides a working method for processing the material delivery channel of the above-mentioned door and window profile, comprising the following steps:

[0019] After the profile has been processed in the previous step, the discharging gripper moves along the first guide rail assembly to the set position to receive the processed profile;

[0020] The horizontal clamping plate of the discharge gripper clamps the profile in the horizontal direction, and the vertical clamping plate clamps the profile in the vertical direction to achieve clamping;

[0021] After clamping, the discharge gripper carries the profile along the first guide rail assembly to the set position required for the next process, the horizontal clamping plate and the vertical clamping plate are released, the profile is received by the corresponding processing equipment, and the discharge gripper returns to the initial position.

[0022] Furthermore, when the profile has a rib or edge structure, the unloading gripper carries the profile along the first guide rail assembly to the set position required for the next process. After the horizontal clamping plate and the vertical pressure plate are released and return to their initial positions, the clamping module on the feeding gripper clamps the rib or edge of the profile, driving the profile to move along the second guide rail assembly and feed it into the next process.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, one or more of the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. In the traditional method, after the previous process is completed, the profile will be clamped from the left and right sides of the profile, and then the profile will be driven to the next process, thereby completing the connection between the two processes. Only when the profile has two parallel planes and the size is not large, can the clamping method on both sides be reliable. However, due to the complex cross-sectional shape of the profile and the large size difference, not all profiles have two parallel sides, and when the specifications of the profile exceed a certain amount, the traditional clamping method on both sides is difficult to ensure that each action can reliably drive the profile to move forward. In the feed channel of the present invention, the discharge gripper can clamp the profile from both horizontal and vertical directions, can adapt to the clamping of profiles with different cross-sectional shapes, and the clamping force direction is more diversified, ensuring that the profile can be smoothly transported to the subsequent process.

[0025] 2. On the other hand, according to the cross-sectional shape of the profile, assembling different types of clamps on the horizontal clamping plate and the vertical clamping plate can further improve the stress conditions of the profile when clamped in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0026] 3. When the profile has a rib or edge structure, the clamping module on the feeding gripper is used to clamp the rib or edge of the profile, driving the profile to move along the second guide rail assembly and send it to the next process. The unloading gripper and the feeding gripper cooperate to take out profiles of different shapes from the previous processing step and send them to the next processing step, thereby realizing the connection between the two processing steps.

[0040] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and are intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0042] Terminology explanation:

[0043] The feed channel is a device used to transport profiles and can connect two processing steps. For example, the profile is first punched and then sawed. The punched profile is transported by the feed channel to the sawing processing center for sawing.

[0044] As introduced in the background technology, the feeding channel generally uses a clamping device to fix the profiles processed in the previous process, and then transports them to the next process. After the transportation is completed, the clamping device resets and waits for the next group of profiles. The clamping device in this way generally uses the bottom surface of the profile as the transportation surface, drives the profile to move through rollers, and uses the two side surfaces of the profile as the clamping surface. Due to the large differences in the specifications and sizes of the profiles, some profiles with excessive length and size cannot be reliably fixed by clamping only on the two side surfaces, which will result in the profiles being unable to be smoothly transported to the subsequent processing center, causing the automated processing line to stagnate and affecting production efficiency.

[0045] Therefore, the following embodiment provides a material conveying channel and working method for processing door and window profiles, wherein a discharging gripper and a feeding gripper are provided on different tracks of the material conveying channel, and the two grippers cooperate to take out profiles of different shapes from the previous processing step and send them to the next processing step, and the discharging gripper clamps the profiles in both horizontal and vertical directions to ensure that large-sized profiles can be reliably clamped and fixed, so as to be smoothly sent to subsequent processing links.

[0046] In the following embodiments, the moving direction of the profile is the x-axis or x-direction, the vertical movement is the z-axis or z-direction, the z-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis and is in the same vertical plane, and the y-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis and is in the same horizontal plane.

[0047] Embodiment 1:

[0048] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a roller assembly 4, a first guide rail assembly 5 and a second guide rail assembly 6 are arranged in parallel on the base. The roller assembly 4 is used to carry the profile 1 and drive the profile 1 from the previous process to the next process. The first guide rail assembly 5 is movably connected to the discharge gripper 2, and the second guide rail assembly 6 is movably connected to the feeding gripper 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first guide rail assembly 5 is arranged along a vertical plane, and has parallel arranged tracks and racks. The discharge gripper 2 utilizes its internal gear to mesh with the rack, and utilizes the track to guide the direction, so that the discharge gripper 2 moves along the x-axis direction.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second guide rail assembly 6 is arranged along a horizontal plane, and has parallel arranged tracks and racks. The feeding gripper 3 utilizes its internal gear to mesh with the rack, and utilizes the track to guide the direction, so that the feeding gripper 3 moves along the x-axis direction.

[0051] In this embodiment, the roller assembly 4 has a plurality of horizontal rollers 41 arranged in parallel and a plurality of vertical rollers 42 arranged in parallel. The vertical surface formed by the plurality of vertical rollers 42 is perpendicular to the plane formed by the plurality of horizontal rollers 41. The space formed between the vertical surface and the plane is used to accommodate the profile 1.

[0052] It should be noted that the cross-sectional shape of the profile 1 is of various types. For ease of understanding, the accompanying drawings corresponding to this embodiment use the profile 1 with a rectangular cross-section as an example to illustrate the specific structure of this embodiment, but do not limit the cross-sectional shape of the profile 1. In actual situations, the cross-section of the profile 1 has various types and there are special-shaped structures.

[0053] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the discharging gripper 2 includes a discharging bracket 21, on which is provided a horizontal clamping plate 24 that moves in the horizontal direction, and a vertical pressing plate 28 that moves in the vertical direction. The horizontal clamping plate 24 approaches or moves away from the vertical plane formed by multiple vertical rollers 42, and is used to clamp the profile 1 from the horizontal direction. The vertical pressing plate 28 approaches or moves away from the plane formed by multiple horizontal rollers 41, and is used to press the profile 1 from the vertical direction.

[0054] In this embodiment, the discharging bracket 21 is slidably connected to the guide rail of the first guide rail assembly 5, and a motor bracket 22 is provided on the discharging bracket 21. The motor bracket 22 is connected to the discharging motor 221, and the output shaft of the discharging motor 221 is connected to the gear, and the gear is meshed with the rack of the first guide rail assembly 5. Through the action of the discharging motor 22, the discharging gripper 2 is driven to move along the x-axis direction, that is, along the direction of the profile movement.

[0055] The horizontal clamping plate 24 is arranged in the vertical direction, with one side connected to the movable end of the clamping cylinder 23 and the other side facing a plurality of vertical rollers 42. The side close to the vertical rollers 42 is detachably connected to the horizontal clamp 25. The fixed end of the clamping cylinder 23 is connected to the discharge bracket 21. The clamping cylinder 23 moves in the horizontal direction, driving the horizontal clamping plate 24 together with the horizontal clamp 25 to approach or move away from the vertical surface formed by the plurality of vertical rollers 42, so as to clamp the profile 1 from the horizontal direction.

[0056] A horizontal guide rail assembly 26 is provided on one side of the horizontal clamping plate 24 close to the vertical roller 42 for guiding the horizontal clamping plate 24 and the horizontal fixture 25 to move in the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the horizontal guide rail assembly 26 is arranged along the y-axis direction.

[0057] The side of the horizontal clamping plate 24 close to the vertical roller 42 is connected to the vertical clamping plate 28 through a vertical slide rail assembly. The top of the vertical clamping plate 28 is connected to the movable end of the clamping cylinder 27, and the bottom end is detachably connected to the vertical clamp. The fixed end of the clamping cylinder 27 is connected to the discharge bracket 21. The clamping cylinder 27 moves along the vertical direction (z-axis), driving the vertical clamping plate 28 together with the vertical clamp to clamp the profile 1 from the vertical direction.

[0058] In this embodiment, the discharging bracket 21 has a horizontal plate and a vertical plate, one end of the horizontal plate is connected to the top of the vertical plate, one side of the vertical plate is slidably connected to the guide rail of the first guide rail assembly 5 by means of a slider, a motor bracket 22 is provided on the vertical plate, and the other side of the vertical plate faces a plurality of vertical rollers 42, and the top of these vertical rollers 42 is connected to the lower surface of the horizontal plate.

[0059] It should be noted that there are multiple groups of vertical rollers 42, some of which are connected to the discharge bracket 21, and the other part is connected to the base, all vertical rollers 42 can rotate around their own axes, and all vertical rollers 42 can be in the same straight line, used to abut against one of the vertical surfaces of the profile. The part of vertical rollers 42 connected to the discharge bracket 21 cooperates with the horizontal clamping plate 24 and the horizontal clamp 25 to clamp the profile 1 from the horizontal direction (y-axis direction).

[0060] It should be noted that there are also several auxiliary rollers, which are arranged vertically and driven by cylinders. The auxiliary rollers and the vertical rollers 42 are located on both sides of the horizontal roller 41. When the auxiliary rollers approach or move away from the profile 1, they clamp the profile 1 in the horizontal plane. The auxiliary rollers move according to the different cross-sectional shapes of the profiles.

[0061] In the traditional method, after the previous process is completed, the profile is clamped from the left and right sides, that is, from the horizontal direction (y-axis direction), and then the profile is driven to move along the x-axis direction to the next process to complete the connection between the two processes. The clamping method on both sides can be reliable only when the profile has two parallel planes and the size is not large (for example, the length is 300mm-3000mm). However, due to the complex cross-sectional shape of the profile and the large size difference, not all profiles have two parallel sides. When the length of the profile exceeds 3000mm (for example, the length is 7000mm), the profile will bend and warp to a certain extent. The traditional clamping method on both sides is difficult to ensure that each action can reliably drive the profile to move forward, and the profile cannot be sent to the subsequent process due to the inability to clamp. The discharge gripper 2 of this embodiment can, on the one hand, clamp the profile in both horizontal and vertical directions, with more clamping force directions; on the other hand, different types of clamps are assembled on the horizontal clamping plate and the vertical clamping plate according to the cross-sectional shape of the profile, so as to improve the force conditions of the profile when clamped in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0062] like Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, the feeding gripper 3 is provided with a clamping module 37. When the profile 1 has a rib or edge structure, the clamping module 37 clamps the rib or edge of the profile 1, drives the profile 1 to move along the second guide rail assembly 6 and feeds it into the next process.

[0063] The feeding gripper 3 includes a first feeding bracket 31 and a second feeding bracket 32. The first feeding bracket 31 moves in a vertical direction and is slidably connected to the second feeding bracket 32. The second feeding bracket 32 ​​is slidably connected to the guide rail of the second guide rail assembly 6 through a slider. The second feeding bracket 32 ​​is provided with a feeding motor 4. The gear connected to the output shaft of the feeding motor 4 is meshed with the rack of the second guide rail assembly 6. The feeding motor 4 drives the feeding gripper 3 to move along the second guide rail assembly 6, and the clamping module 37 on the first feeding bracket 31 clamps the ribs or edge structures of the profile 1, and drives the profile 1 to be fed into the next process.

[0064] The second feeding bracket 32 ​​is slidably connected to the first feeding bracket 31. In this embodiment, the connection is slidably connected via a guide rail assembly. The second feeding bracket 32 ​​is connected to the fixed end of the first cylinder 33, and the movable end of the first cylinder 33 is connected to the first feeding bracket 31. The first cylinder 33 moves in the vertical direction, driving the first feeding bracket 31 to move in the vertical direction.

[0065] The cross-section of the first feeding bracket 31 is L-shaped, including a connected flat plate and a vertical plate. The vertical plate is used for sliding connection with the second feeding bracket 32. A plurality of columns are provided in the space below the flat plate. The columns are connected to a clamping power module, and the clamping power module is connected to a clamping module 37.

[0066] The clamping power module includes a second cylinder 35 moving in the vertical direction and a third cylinder 36 moving in the horizontal direction. The second cylinder 35 is used to drive the clamping module 37 to rotate to a set angle, and the third cylinder 36 is used to drive the clamping module 37 to move to achieve clamping.

[0067] The fixed end of the second cylinder 35 is connected to the flat plate of the first feeding bracket 31, and the movable end is movably connected to the outer side of the circumference of the second shaft 372. One end of the second shaft 372 is connected to the clamping module 37, and the other end is movably connected to the column of the first feeding bracket 31. The second cylinder 35 is actuated to drive the second shaft 372 to rotate along its own axis to a set angle.

[0068] The fixed end of the third cylinder 36 is connected to the space below the flat plate of the first feeding bracket 31, the movable end is movably connected to one end of the driving plate 39, the middle part of the driving plate 39 is movably connected to the top end of the horizontally arranged central axis 38, and the other end of the driving plate 39 is movably connected to one end of the first axis 373.

[0069] The tail end of the center shaft 38 is connected to the column of the first feeding bracket 31, and the top end is the rotation point movably connected to the driving plate 39. The action axis of the third cylinder 36, the axis of the center shaft 38 and the axis of the first shaft 373 are arranged side by side and are in the same vertical plane, so that the driving plate 39 and the center shaft 38 form a lever structure. The horizontal movement of the third cylinder 36 is transmitted to the first shaft 373 through the driving plate 39, driving the first shaft 373 to move along its own axis direction.

[0070] In this embodiment, the movable end of the third cylinder 36 extends out, and under the action of the driving plate 39, the first shaft 373 moves forward in the axial direction; the movable end of the third cylinder 36 retracts, and the first shaft 373 moves backward in the axial direction, and the claw mechanism of the clamping module 37 is driven to open or close through the forward and backward movement of the first shaft 373.

[0071] The first shaft 373, the second shaft 372 and the third shaft 371 are coaxially sleeved in sequence, and the third shaft 371 is connected to the outer shell of the clamping module 37 as an outer shell; the second shaft 372 is connected to the clamping module 37, and is used to make the clamping module 37 rotate at a set angle under the drive of the second cylinder 35, so as to change the angle of the clamping module 37 relative to the horizontal plane; the first shaft 373 is connected to the claw mechanism of the clamping module 37, and the first shaft 373 moves axially under the drive of the third cylinder 36, so that the claw mechanism of the clamping module 37 can be opened or closed.

[0072] When the profile 1 has a rib or edge structure, the clamping module 37 on the feeding gripper 3 clamps the rib or edge of the profile 1, drives the profile 1 to move along the second guide rail assembly 6 and feeds it to the next process. When the next process is a sawing process, since the clamped end of the profile needs to be sent to the saw blade at the end of the sawing process for cutting, and the sawing equipment has a certain width, the first shaft 373, the second shaft 372 and the third shaft 371 are coaxially sleeved in sequence to form a long feeding rod structure, and the clamping module 37 is located at the end of the long feeding rod structure.

[0073] like Figure 8 As shown, the claw mechanism of the clamping module 37 includes a connecting block 374 connected to one end of the third shaft 371, the connecting block 374 is movably connected to one end of the connecting rod 376 through the rotating shaft c375, the other end of the connecting rod 376 is connected to the movable clamp 379 through the rotating shaft b377, the movable clamp 379 rotates around the rotating shaft a378, the three groups of rotating shafts are arranged in parallel, a fixed clamp 3710 is provided on one side of the movable clamp 379, a switch rod 3711 is provided on the fixed clamp 3710, and an induction switch 3712 is provided on the switch rod 3711.

[0074] The first shaft 373 moves axially under the drive of the third cylinder 36, pulling the connecting block 374 to drive the connecting rod 376 to change its posture under the action of the rotating shaft b377 and the rotating shaft c375, so that the movable jaw 379 rotates around the rotating shaft a378 to open, or moves in the opposite direction to close the movable jaw 379, and the profile 1 is clamped and released with the cooperation of the movable jaw 379 and the fixed jaw 3710.

[0075] The movable clamping jaw 379 opens, and the entire clamping module 37 moves forward slightly under the movement of the feeding gripper 3. The switch rod 3711 presses against the end of the profile 1, causing the induction switch 3712 to generate a trigger signal, controlling the action of the third cylinder 36, and thereby clamping the rib or edge structure at the end of the profile 1.

[0076] The discharging gripper 2 and the feeding gripper 3 cooperate to take out the profiles of different shapes from the previous processing step and feed them to the next processing step. Specifically:
