Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sheet metal conveying technology, specifically a conveying device for sheet metal processing in a coating machine. Background Technology
[0002] Sheet metal processing is a comprehensive cold working process for thin metal sheets. Its significant characteristic is that the thickness of the same part is consistent. Products processed by sheet metal processing are called sheet metal parts. In the sheet metal processing of coating machines, sheet metal parts need to be transported from one processing station to another.
[0003] In response, CN220333979U discloses a sheet metal parts conveying device, including support legs, a flat plate fixedly connected to the support legs, a side plate fixedly connected to the flat plate, and a main conveying mechanism, a sorting mechanism, and a secondary conveying mechanism. The main conveying mechanism includes a rotating roller rotatably connected to the side plate, with a conveyor belt mounted on the rotating roller. The sorting mechanism includes a housing located at the end of the flat plate, with a secondary drive shaft rotatably connected to the housing wall, a support arm fixedly connected to the secondary drive shaft, and a sorting container for receiving sheet metal parts fixedly connected to the support arm. The secondary conveying mechanism includes roller frames located at both ends of the housing, with roller frames rotatably connected to rollers. This utility model relates to a sheet metal parts conveying device that, through the cooperation of the main conveying mechanism and the sorting mechanism, completes the sorting and conveying of sheet metal parts, facilitating assembly line processing of sheet metal parts.

A drive shaft and a sheet metal moving contact are fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive belt; a defective product robotic arm assembly is provided on the other side of the main body of the sheet metal conveying device, and a transfer assembly is installed inside the main body of the sheet metal conveying device. The transfer assembly includes a transfer base plate, which is fixedly connected to the main body of the sheet metal conveying device.

The sheet metal position adjustment assembly includes a support plate, which is fixedly connected to the main body of the sheet metal conveying device, and a feeding conveyor belt is installed on the side of the support plate.
[0008] Preferably, the robotic arm fixing plate is L-shaped, and the movable plate moves horizontally under the action of the electric telescopic rod.
[0009] Preferably, the device wheel slides inside the translational groove, and the device wheel plays a supporting role.
[0010] Preferably, when the transmission belt moves, it drives the sheet metal moving contact to move together, and the sheet metal moving contact is arc-shaped.

[0012] Preferably, the omnidirectional balls are evenly spaced within the transfer base plate, and the omnidirectional balls can rotate at any angle.
[0013] Preferably, the qualified sheet metal rollers are arranged at equal intervals within the main body of the sheet metal conveying device, and the qualified sheet metal rollers and the defective sheet metal rollers are arranged symmetrically about the vertical centerline of the transfer base plate.
[0014] Preferably, a servo motor is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, and a worm gear body is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A worm wheel rotating seat is engaged on the side of the worm gear body. A fixed base is provided at the bottom of the worm wheel rotating seat, and the fixed base is fixedly connected to the support plate. An auxiliary ball is engaged inside the fixed base.

[0020] 3. The present invention provides a conveying device for sheet metal processing in a coating machine. The auxiliary ball bearings play an auxiliary rotation role. Under the action of the rotating roller, the sheet metal part enters the three-dimensional scanning inspection instrument at a designated position. For some sheet metal parts with complex curved surface structures, the specific entry angle allows the scanner to better focus on the key parts of the curved surface, avoiding shadows or obstructions caused by poor viewing angle, thereby obtaining the three-dimensional geometric shape data of the sheet metal part more accurately, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the three-dimensional scanning inspection instrument.

[0031] To further understand the content of this invention, a detailed description of the invention will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 6The present invention discloses a conveying device for sheet metal processing in a coating machine, comprising a sheet metal conveying device body 1, a qualified product robotic arm assembly 2 disposed on one side of the sheet metal conveying device body 1, the qualified product robotic arm assembly 2 including a robotic arm fixing plate 201, and the robotic arm fixing plate 201 being fixedly connected to the sheet metal conveying device body 1; a defective product robotic arm assembly 3 disposed on the other side of the sheet metal conveying device body 1; and a transfer assembly 4 installed inside the sheet metal conveying device body 1, the transfer assembly 4 including a transfer base plate 401, and the transfer base plate 401... 1 is fixedly connected to the sheet metal conveying device body 1. A qualified sheet metal conveyor belt 5 is provided on one side of the transfer component 4, and a defective sheet metal conveyor belt 6 is installed on the other side of the transfer component 4. A three-dimensional scanning detector 7 is installed on the top of the sheet metal conveying device body 1, and a sheet metal position adjustment component 8 is provided on the side of the three-dimensional scanning detector 7. The sheet metal position adjustment component 8 includes a support plate 801, and the support plate 801 is fixedly connected to the sheet metal conveying device body 1. A feeding conveyor belt 9 is installed on the side of the support plate 801.
[0033] Combination Figures 2 to 4 The present invention discloses a conveying device for sheet metal processing in a coating machine. A translational slide groove 202 is provided inside a robotic arm fixing plate 201. An electric telescopic rod 203 is fixedly connected to the side of the robotic arm fixing plate 201, and a movable plate 204 is fixedly connected to one end of the electric telescopic rod 203. A device wheel 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 204, and a device motor 206 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable plate 204. A motor shaft 207 is fixedly connected to the output end of the device motor 206, and a transmission mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the motor shaft 207. The drive belt 208 has a drive shaft 209 on its side, and a sheet metal moving tentacles 210 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive belt 208. The mechanical arm fixing plate 201 is L-shaped. The movable plate 204 moves horizontally under the action of the electric telescopic rod 203. The device wheel 205 slides inside the translation groove 202 and plays a supporting role. When the drive belt 208 moves, it drives the sheet metal moving tentacles 210 to move together. The sheet metal moving tentacles 210 are arc-shaped.
[0034] The sheet metal parts are conveyed into the device via the feeding conveyor belt 9. When they reach the position of the 3D scanning inspection instrument 7, the 3D scanning inspection instrument 7 inspects the sheet metal parts. When the inspected product is qualified, the electric telescopic rod 203 is activated to push the movable plate 204 horizontally. The device wheel 205 supports the movable plate 204 and slides inside the translation chute 202. At this time, the sheet metal parts are located on the top of the transfer base plate 401, and the sheet metal parts moving tentacles 210 are located on the side of the sheet metal parts. Then, the device motor 206 starts to work, driving the device motor 206 to drive the sheet metal parts to move horizontally. The motor shaft 207 rotates, and the motor shaft 207 drives the transmission shaft 209 to rotate via the transmission belt 208. Under the action of the transmission belt 208, the sheet metal moving contact 210 moves, and the sheet metal moving contact 210 pushes the sheet metal to the position of the qualified sheet metal conveyor belt 5. Since the speed of the sheet metal moving contact 210 is the same as the speed of the qualified sheet metal conveyor belt 5, it can play a synchronizing role, avoid friction during sheet metal movement, effectively ensure the stability and safety of sheet metal during the sorting process, and avoid damage to the sheet metal.
[0035] Combination Figure 5 The present invention discloses a conveying device for sheet metal processing of a coating machine. A universal ball 402 is provided on the top of a transfer base plate 401, and a qualified sheet metal roller 403 is installed on one side of the transfer base plate 401, while a defective sheet metal roller 404 is provided on the other side of the transfer base plate 401. The universal ball 402 is equally spaced about the interior of the transfer base plate 401 and can rotate at any angle. The qualified sheet metal roller 403 is equally spaced about the interior of the sheet metal conveying device body 1, and the qualified sheet metal roller 403 and the defective sheet metal roller 404 are symmetrically arranged about the vertical central axis of the transfer base plate 401.
[0036] When the sheet metal parts move on the transfer base plate 401, they preferentially move on the universal ball 402. The universal ball 402 can rotate in multiple directions and has high flexibility. When the sheet metal parts move, they drive the universal ball 402, the qualified sheet metal parts roller 403, and the defective sheet metal parts roller 404 to move. When the sheet metal parts move in the area of the transfer base plate 401, due to the small rolling friction coefficient, the reduced friction allows the sheet metal parts to slide more smoothly on the pulley surface, avoiding friction damage to the sheet metal parts.
[0037] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 8The present invention discloses a conveying device for sheet metal processing in a coating machine. A servo motor 802 is fixedly connected to the top of a support plate 801, and a worm gear body 803 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 802. A worm gear rotating seat 804 is engaged with the side of the worm gear body 803. A fixed base 805 is provided at the bottom of the worm gear rotating seat 804, and the fixed base 805 is fixedly connected to the support plate 801. An auxiliary ball bearing 806 is engaged inside the fixed base 805. A support rod 807 is fixedly connected to the top of the worm gear rotating seat 804, and a rotating roller 808 is provided on the side of the support rod 807. The auxiliary ball bearing 806 is evenly spaced about the inside of the fixed base 805. A groove provided at the bottom of the worm gear rotating seat 804 engages with a protrusion provided at the top of the fixed base 805. The rotating roller 808 is evenly spaced about the side of the support rod 807, and the support rod 807 can be angled.
[0038] When sheet metal parts are conveyed on the feeding conveyor belt 9, the shapes of the sheet metal parts vary depending on the batch. The servo motor 802 is started, which drives the worm gear body 803 to rotate. The worm gear body 803 drives the worm wheel rotating seat 804 to rotate around the fixed base 805. At this time, under the action of the worm wheel rotating seat 804, the support rod 807 and the rotating roller 808 start to rotate until the support rod 807 and the rotating roller 808 are at a suitable angle. The auxiliary ball 806 plays an auxiliary role in rotation. Under the action of the rotating roller 808, the sheet metal parts enter the three-dimensional scanning inspection instrument 7 at the designated position. For some sheet metal parts with complex curved surface structures, a specific entry angle allows the scanner to better focus on the key parts of the curved surface, avoiding shadows or obstructions caused by poor viewing angle, thereby obtaining more accurate three-dimensional geometric shape data of the sheet metal parts, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the three-dimensional scanning inspection instrument 7.
