Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of angle steel processing equipment, specifically an automatic angle steel feeding system. Background Technology

[0002] Angle steel is commonly used in the manufacture of angle steel towers. The process typically involves a series of processing operations, including cutting, corner trimming, hole drilling, and printing on the raw angle steel. The raw angle steel profiles are often manually hoisted onto a material handling frame, requiring at least two people to separate individual pieces, arrange them according to the V-shaped opening, and straighten them according to a specific pattern. They are then transported via a chain conveyor to a transfer system, where they are flipped onto a CNC angle steel production line for further processing. Currently, this process increases labor time and costs, increases labor intensity, reduces safety, and lowers material handling efficiency, resulting in lower company profits.

[0003] Currently, existing angle steel feeding systems mainly consist of a conveyor system and a transfer system. Typically, angle steel materials are manually hoisted onto the conveyor frame. At least two people work together to sort and align the individual angle steel pieces before conveying them through the conveyor to the V-shaped opening at the end. The transfer system then flips the material and transports it to the integrated angle steel production line. Many manufacturers currently disassemble the conveyor system, manually placing the materials at the V-shaped opening at the end of the conveyor system before the transfer system flips them. This method does not allow for bundled feeding. This process requires manual operation, with at least two workers needed to separate and align the individual angle steel pieces on the conveyor system. This is labor-intensive, inefficient, unsafe, and time-consuming, with low automation. Manual feeding also underutilizes the conveyor system. After the transfer mechanism flips the angle steel onto the production line, manual assistance is needed to clamp the steel for automatic processing, resulting in low automation and slowing down the overall production line's cycle time, thus impacting company profits. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the existing problems, this invention provides an automatic angle steel feeding system. The PLC controls the entire feeding system to automatically complete the feeding process, which is compatible with both bundled and loose materials. This feeding system can drive two angle steel production lines with two workstations to feed materials. The gantry robot adopts a ground rail gantry structure, which can maximize the avoidance of the material discharge rack space and facilitate the feeding of whole bundles of angle steel materials. The specially designed M-type electromagnet can accurately attract angle steel regardless of whether the V-shaped opening is facing up or down. It determines whether flipping is necessary based on the actual situation before placing the angle steel onto the flipping system. A servo drive system controls multiple robotic arms to flip the angle steel after it has been picked up, ensuring synchronized flipping. The mechanical lifting action uses a two-axis synchronous servo to control the overall lifting of the entire truss, ensuring accuracy and synchronization. After the flipping system places the angle steel onto the angle steel production line, the automatic clamping device uses the lifting and movement control of the electromagnet to attract the angle steel and feed it into the clamp. Electrical control confirms whether the clamp has clamped the angle steel material. Once clamped, it is automatically conveyed for angle steel production processing, eliminating manual operation.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: As shown in the attached figures, the present invention provides an automatic angle steel feeding system, comprising a horizontal ground rail, a lifting mechanism, a truss, a robotic arm device, a feeding system assembly, a clamping device, and an electrical control system.

[0028] During use, the equipment of this invention involves manually placing bundles or loose angle steel materials onto the angle steel placement area 52 of the loading rack device 5.

Once ready, the electrical control system is operated to select angle steel parameters from the material library. The first angle steel is manually located, and automatic start is initiated. The robotic arm device 4 picks up the angle steel, and the PLC control system determines whether to flip it. Figure 11 As shown, for ease of explanation, the V-shaped seats 53 on the feeding rack device 5 are numbered 1-5. When the angle steel V-shaped opening faces upward, it runs on the horizontal ground rail 1 via the lifting mechanism 2, and the system automatically places the angle steel at the V-shaped seat 53. If the angle steel V-shaped opening faces downward, the robotic arm device 4 controls the gripper to rise to a certain position, and the robotic arm electromagnet 42 picks up the angle steel and flips it so that the V-shaped opening faces upward. Then, it moves to a suitable position via the lifting mechanism 2 on the horizontal ground rail 1, and the robotic arm device 4 places the angle steel in the V-shaped seat 53 of the feeding rack device 5. The transfer system flips the angle steel onto the angle steel production line 10.

[0029] When the angle steel material is in single, loose pieces, the individual angle steel is placed manually on the angle steel placement area 52 of the feeding rack device 5, with one side resting against the mechanical limit. Then, the angle steel in the angle steel placement area 52 is placed on the No. 1 V-shaped seat 53 by the stacking device 8. The operation is repeated until all the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 V-shaped seats in the material channel are filled with angle steel. The feeding motor of the feeding rack device 5 is running, and through power transmission, the material transfer system flips the angle steel material onto the angle steel production line 10 in the order of the V-shaped seats 53.

[0030] The clamping device 7 feeds the angle steel into the clamp and holds it in place. The clamp then transports the angle steel on the angle steel production line 10 for processing.
