DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] In one embodiment, see Figure 1-Figure 11 , an automatic conveying device for UV curing, comprising a base 1, a material conveying mechanism 2 and a light curing mechanism 3;

[0028] The light curing mechanism 3 includes a hanging frame 4 arranged on the side of the base 1, the hanging frame 4 is an L-shaped structure, the vertical plate of the hanging frame 4 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the rear side of the base 1, the top of the hanging frame 4 is a horizontal plate facing forward and backward, and a light generating device 9 is arranged below the horizontal plate on the top of the hanging frame 4, and the light generating device 9 generates ultraviolet light to perform light curing treatment on the material to be processed 19 below;

[0029] The material conveying mechanism 2 includes side plates 15 arranged on the left and right sides of the base 1. The side plates 15 are vertically arranged at the four corners of the upper surface of the base 1. A rotating shaft 16 arranged in a front-to-back direction is rotatably connected at the upper end of the side plates 15. The rotating shaft 16 is arranged on the left and right sides above the base 1. A driving wheel 17 is arranged on the front and back sides of the rotating shaft 16. The rotation center of the driving wheel 17 is coincident with the rotation center of the rotating shaft 16. The outer ring of the driving wheel 17 is connected to a rotating plate 18 arranged in a front-to-back direction. The left and right sides of the rotating plate 18 are rotatably connected to support plates 27. The support plates 27 are arranged on the front and back sides of the rotating plate 18 in a left-right direction. The rotating plate 18 and the support plates 27 are spaced apart. The rotating plate 18 and the supporting plate 27 are connected to form a U-shaped structure, so that the entire rotating plate 18 is sleeved on the outside of the driving wheel 17 like a chain, so that the entire rotating plate 18 can rotate with the rotation of the driving wheel 17, achieving an effect similar to that of a conveyor belt, and top rods 28 are vertically arranged on the rotating plate 18 from front to back, and the middle part of the top rod 28 is slidably connected to the middle part of the rotating plate 18, and a limit head 29 is arranged at one end of the top rod 28 away from the center of the driving wheel 17, and a magnetic head 30 is arranged at one end of the top rod 28 close to the center of the driving wheel 17, so that the limit head 29 will be located on the outside of the entire conveyor belt, and the surface of the base 1 A support frame 20 is set on the left and right sides of the surface. The support frame 20 is a U-shaped structure with an opening downward. The upper end of the support frame 20 is fixedly connected with a left-right oriented magnetic plate 21. The magnetic plate 21 is located inside the annular structure composed of the rotating plate 18 and is located at an upper position. The distance between the magnetic plate 21 and the upper magnetic head 30 meets the requirements of magnetic force conduction. The magnetic plate 21 itself can be a magnet, or a plurality of electromagnets can be evenly distributed above the magnetic plate 21. The magnetic field is generated by the electromagnets, so that the upper surface of the magnetic plate 21 and the upper magnetic head 30 are in a relationship of like-charge repulsion, that is, when the magnetic head 30 moves above the magnetic plate 21, it will be pushed upward, and as shown If the magnetic plate 21 is controlled by an electromagnet, the magnitude of the magnetic force can also be controlled by controlling the amount of electricity, so that the magnetic force is less than the weight of the material 19 to be processed. That is to say, when the material 19 to be processed falls on the upper limit head 29, the push rod 28 will be pressed downward, and even if the weight of the material 19 to be processed is the same, the volume of different materials 19 to be processed is different, which leads to different lifting forces required to push the material 19 to be processed. Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force can be adjusted by adjusting the voltage, so that the magnetic plate 21 can just push up the empty limit head 29, but when the limit head 29 contacts the material 19 to be processed, the push rod 28 will be pressed down. And the side wall of the limit head 29 is an arc surface convex to the outside, so when the limit head 29 moves upward, the material 19 to be processed can be pushed through the arc surface, so when the material 19 to be processed only contacts the limit head 29 a little bit, the limit head 29 can push the material 19 to be processed, so that the push rod 28 can extend.

[0030] In one case of the present embodiment, a vertically arranged guide slide bar 5 is slidably connected to the front and rear sides above the suspension plate 8, the lower end of the guide slide bar 5 is fixedly connected to the suspension plate 8 arranged in a front-to-rear direction, a light generating device 9 is arranged on the lower surface of the suspension plate 8, and the upper end of the guide slide bar 5 is fixedly connected to a push plate 6 arranged in a front-to-rear direction, a lifting device 7 is arranged in the middle of the push plate 6, and the telescopic rod of the lifting device 7 is connected to the upper surface of the suspension plate 8, so that the height of the light generating device 9 can be adjusted by the lifting device 7, so that the distance between the light generating device 9 and the material 19 to be processed meets the working requirements.

[0031] In one case of this embodiment, a driving motor 22 is arranged in the middle of the side plate 15 at the front right side, and the output shaft of the driving motor 22 is fixedly connected to the first bevel gear 23, the first bevel gear 23 is meshedly connected to the second bevel gear 24, and the second bevel gear 24 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating shaft 16 on the right side, so that the driving motor 22 can realize the rotation of the rotating shaft 16 by gear transmission, so that the driving wheel 17 rotates counterclockwise, and a plurality of weight-reducing through holes are arranged in the middle of the driving wheel 17, and the weight-reducing through holes are arranged so that the driving wheel 17 can reduce the weight under the premise of ensuring the structural strength, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the whole device. In addition, a driving tooth 26 is arranged on the outside of the driving wheel 17, and a through-hole 25 is arranged in the middle of the front and rear ends of the rotating plate 18, so that when the driving wheel 17 rotates, the driving tooth 26 outside the driving wheel 17 will continuously insert into the hole 25, so that the rotating plate 18 is driven by the driving wheel 17 to rotate around the center of the driving wheel 17, thereby achieving the effect of rotating feeding.

[0032] In one case of the present embodiment, a first vertical plate 10 is vertically arranged at the left end of the upper surface of the base 1, and a material picking plate 11 arranged in a left-right direction is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first vertical plate 10. The material picking plate 11 is only higher than the uppermost rotating plate 18, and the material picking plate 11 is lower than the limit head 29 after the top rod 28 on the uppermost rotating plate 18 is located at the lowest position. That is to say, when the material 19 to be processed is placed on the limit head 29, the material 19 to be processed will be higher than the material picking plate 11, so that the material 19 to be processed will fall on the material picking plate 11 after moving to the left, and a plurality of material picking claws 12 arranged in a left-right direction are sequentially arranged on the right side of the material picking plate 11 from front to back, and the material picking claws 12 are located in the gap between the two adjacent top rods 28 in front and behind, so that the material 19 to be processed can be better transferred to the material picking plate 11 through the material picking claws 12, thereby achieving the material picking effect. A second vertical plate 13 is vertically arranged at the right end of the upper surface of the base 1, and a feeding plate 14 arranged toward the lower left is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second vertical plate 13. The left end of the feeding plate 14 is slightly higher than the lowest position of the limit head 29 of the uppermost rotating plate 18, so that when the limit head 29 rotates counterclockwise, the limit head 29 will first be pressed downward by the feeding plate 14, so that when the material 19 to be processed slides to the left, it will first contact the limit head 29 at the lowest position to prevent the limit head 29 from jamming the material 19 to be processed.

[0033] During the implementation of this embodiment, the lifting device 7 is first started. The lifting device 7 can be an electric telescopic rod. The height of the light generating device 9 is controlled by the lifting device 7, so that the light generating device 9 can meet the needs of subsequent photocuring of the material to be processed 19, and the driving motor 22 is started. The output shaft of the driving motor 22 drives the driving wheel 17 on the right to rotate counterclockwise through gear transmission. At this time, the driving wheel 17 drives the upper rotating plate 18 to move to the left, and the magnetic plate 21 is turned on. At this time, the entire device is ready.

[0034] The material 19 to be processed that needs to be light-cured is placed on the right side of the feed plate 14. The material 19 slides to the left along the feed plate 14 and falls on the rotating plate 18 on the right. At this time, the limit head 29 in contact with the material 19 will be pressed down, and after the material 19 is completely separated from the feed plate 14 and slides onto the rotating plate 18, the limit head 29 that is not in contact with the material 19 is pushed up because the magnetic head 30 below moves to the top of the magnetic plate 21. At this time, the ejector 28 will clamp the material 19 , so that the material to be processed 19 will continue to move to the left with the rotating plate 18. When the material to be processed 19 moves to the bottom of the light generating device 9, the light generating device 9 will perform photocuring on the material to be processed 19. When the material to be processed 19 completes photocuring, it will move to the left. At this time, the material to be processed 19 will contact the material picking claw 12. As the rotating plate 18 continues to move to the left, the material to be processed 19 will be pushed onto the material picking plate 11, waiting for the operator to take the material to be processed 19 away.

[0035] The present invention is applicable to an automatic conveying device for UV curing. Through the cooperation of the magnetic plate 21 and the magnetic head 30, the limit head 29 that is not in contact with the material to be processed 19 is lifted, so that the irregularly shaped material to be processed 19 can be effectively positioned by the limit head 29 on the rotating plate 18, so that the material to be processed 19 can be stably moved with the rotating plate 18 to realize light curing.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
