Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of parts conveying technology, and more specifically to an automatic separation and conveying device for sheet-like parts in automobile production. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive industry, automated production lines are widely used. However, for some components, such as the roof and front crossbeam, which are sheet-like parts, the integral crossbeam is large in volume. Due to the high transportation and storage costs of large parts that are packaged separately, stackable packaging is used during transportation and packaging to reduce supply chain pressure.

[0003] Because of the special shape and large size of the parts, although the stacked parts can be transported to the designated assembly station, the separation process requires manual separation using equipment or tools. However, this method of material loading is too cumbersome, and the handling of parts cannot be automated, which will reduce the production efficiency of automobile assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Technical problems to be solved

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an automatic separation and conveying device for sheet-like parts in automobile production. It can effectively solve the problem that the existing technology requires manual separation of large sheet-like automobile parts due to their special shape and large size. However, this material feeding method is too cumbersome and the parts cannot be automatically fed, which will reduce the production efficiency of automobile assembly and processing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention provides an automatic separation and conveying device for sheet-like parts in automobile production, including a base and side plates on both sides of the base. A drive box is fixedly installed in the lower center of the base, and brackets are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower part of the base. Guide rails are installed under the brackets, and drive shafts for driving the base to move on the guide rails are provided on both sides of the drive box.

[0008] A push assembly, fixedly mounted above the base, is used to store stacked parts;

[0009] The separation assembly, located on the side plates on both sides of the base, is used to separate stacked parts. It includes a telescopic component fixedly installed on the base, with a separation plate at the upper telescopic end of the telescopic component for separating the stacked parts. A guide plate is fixedly installed on the base for driving the separation plate away from the push rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the pushing assembly includes an L-shaped plate fixedly mounted on the base, the L-shaped plate being used to support stacked parts, a sliding block being slidably mounted on the L-shaped plate for pushing the parts to a designated position, and a push rod being fixedly mounted on the L-shaped plate for driving the sliding block to slide.

[0011] Furthermore, the sliding block is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, and the sliding block is inclined towards the push rod on the end face of the part, and the end face of the sliding block facing the part matches the outer wall contour of the part.

[0012] Furthermore, a lifting plate is fixedly installed above the telescopic component, a sliding frame is slidably installed on the lifting plate, the separating piece is fixedly installed on the sliding frame, a limiting shaft is provided on the side of the sliding frame away from the separating piece, and an annular limiting groove is provided on the guide plate for guiding the movement position of the limiting shaft. During the process of the telescopic component driving the lifting plate to move up and down, the sliding frame is driven to slide left and right on the lifting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the sliding frame extends upward, and a limiting block is fixedly installed above the sliding frame. The limiting block is provided with limiting grooves for fitting onto both sides of the part, and the limiting block is located directly above the separating plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the annular limiting groove is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. One side of the annular limiting groove has an inclined groove, which is used to guide the sliding frame to move away from the push rod. The lowest and highest points of the annular limiting groove are provided with apex grooves. The annular limiting groove is connected to the apex groove. A guide block is provided on the opposite side of the apex groove of the annular limiting groove to restrict the reverse movement of the limiting shaft.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting plate is provided with a guide through hole, and a sliding column is provided below the sliding frame, passing through the guide through hole and slidably connected to the guide through hole. The sliding column is used to guide the sliding frame to move horizontally.

[0016] Furthermore, an upper separating blade is provided below the end of the separating plate away from the sliding frame, and the upper separating blade is used to insert into the gap between the stacked parts during the descent of the sliding frame.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a separation plate, which includes a tilting plate rotatably mounted on the base in the middle. A lower separating blade for inserting into the gap between stacked parts is fixedly mounted above the end of the tilting plate away from the guide plate. A torsion spring for driving the end of the tilting plate with the lower separating blade to move downward is provided below the tilting plate.

[0018] Furthermore, a pressing plate is fixedly installed below the lifting plate, and the pressing plate is used to drive the end of the lifting plate away from the lower separating blade upward during the descent of the lifting plate.

[0019] The technical solution provided by this invention has the following advantages compared with known public technologies:

[0020] In this invention, by setting separation components on both sides of the base, during the downward movement of the two telescopic members on both sides, the separation plates located on both sides of the stacked parts will be driven to insert into the gap between the stacked parts. In addition, by fixing and installing a pushing component on the top of the base, the stacked parts can be pushed under the separation plates in a timely manner, so that the separation plates are directly facing the gap between the stacked parts during the downward movement.

[0021] In this invention, a lifting plate is fixedly installed above the telescopic component, and a sliding frame is slidably installed on the lifting plate. A limiting shaft is set on the sliding frame. When the telescopic component moves the lifting plate up and down, the annular limiting groove on the guide plate, in conjunction with the limiting shaft, can drive the sliding frame to move left and right during the up and down movement. This makes it easier to push the separated parts and makes it more convenient for external assembly robotic arms to pick them up.

[0022] In this invention, a tilting plate is rotated and installed on the base. As the lifting plate moves downward, it causes the upper separating blade to insert into the gap between stacked parts to separate them. During this process, the pressing plate below the lifting plate moves downward and presses against the end of the tilting plate facing the guide plate. This causes the end of the tilting plate away from the guide plate to tilt upward, allowing the lower separating blade above the tilting plate to insert into the gap between the stacked parts and separate the bottom of the stacked parts. This allows for a more thorough separation of individual parts from the stacked parts, and a more efficient and complete separation of the parts. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments.

[0037] Therefore, embodiments of the present invention provide an automatic separation and conveying device for sheet-like parts in automobile production, the purpose of which is at least to...

[0038] Example: An automatic separation and conveying device for sheet-like parts in automobile production, such as... Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, the base includes a base 2 and side plates on both sides of the base 2. A drive box 21 is fixedly installed in the lower center of the base 2. Brackets 23 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower part of the base 2. A guide rail 24 is installed under the brackets 23. Drive shafts 22 for driving the base 2 to move on the guide rail 24 are provided on both sides of the drive box 21.

[0039] Push component 3 is fixedly installed above base 2 and is used to store stacked parts 1;

[0040] The separation component 5 is disposed on the side plates on both sides of the base 2 and is used to separate the stacked parts 1. It includes a telescopic component 53 fixedly installed on the base 2. The telescopic end of the telescopic component 53 is provided with a separation plate 54 for separating the stacked parts 1. A guide plate 4 is fixedly installed on the base 2 for driving the separation plate 54 away from the push rod 33.

[0041] In this invention, during use, the base 2 and the large automotive sheet-like part 1 placed on the base 2 are first moved to the assembly position by the drive box 21 below the base 2 (a drive motor for rotating the drive shaft 22 is fixedly installed inside the drive box 21, and rollers for rolling contact with the guide rail 24 are provided at both ends of the drive shaft 22). By setting separation components 5 on both sides of the base 2, the two telescopic parts 53 on both sides will drive the separation pieces 54 on both sides of the stacked parts 1 to insert into the gap between the stacked parts 1 (the outermost part 1) during the downward movement of the two telescopic parts 53 on both sides, so that the gap between the parts 1 gradually increases and the stacked parts 1 are separated. In addition, by fixing the push component 3 on the top of the base 2, the stacked parts 1 can be pushed under the separation piece 54 in time, so that the separation piece 54 is directly facing the gap between the stacked parts 1 during the downward movement.

[0042] It should be noted that the sheet-like part 1 is formed by metal stamping and has a certain thickness. It will not curl or deform during the stacking process. In addition, the horizontal stacking allows the packaging isolation material between parts 1 to fall naturally under the action of gravity, which is a conventional placement method in the prior art.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pushing assembly 3 includes an L-shaped plate 31 fixedly mounted on the base 2. The L-shaped plate 31 is used to support the stacked parts 1. A sliding block 32 for pushing the parts 1 to a designated position is slidably mounted on the L-shaped plate 31. A push rod 33 for driving the sliding block 32 to slide is fixedly mounted on the L-shaped plate 31. The sliding block 32 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The sliding block 32 is inclined towards the push rod 33 on the upper side of the end face facing the parts 1. The end face of the sliding block 32 facing the parts 1 matches the outer wall contour of the parts 1.

[0044] By sliding a sliding block 32 on the L-shaped plate 31 and setting a push rod 33 on the back of the sliding block 32, the stacked parts 1 can be easily and accurately pushed to the corresponding position of the separation component 5, and the parts 1 can be separated more accurately. In actual use, the push rod 33 can be an electric push rod. The sliding block 32 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which can make the upper end of the stacked parts 1 tilt towards the push rod 33, so that the stacked parts 1 can be placed more stably on the L-shaped plate 31, and avoid tipping over during the movement of the stacked parts 1.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a lifting plate 51 is fixedly installed above the telescopic member 53, and a sliding frame 52 is slidably installed on the lifting plate 51. The separating piece 54 is fixedly installed on the sliding frame 52. A limiting shaft 522 is provided on the side of the sliding frame 52 away from the separating piece 54. An annular limiting groove 401 is provided on the guide plate 4 for guiding the movement of the limiting shaft 522. During the process of the telescopic member 53 driving the lifting plate 51 to move up and down, the sliding frame 52 is driven to slide left and right on the lifting plate 51. The sliding frame 52 extends upward, and a limiting block 521 is fixedly installed above the sliding frame 52. The limiting block 521 is provided with limiting grooves 5201 for fitting on both sides of the part 1. The limiting block 521 is located directly above the separating piece 54.

[0046] In this system, a lifting plate 51 is fixedly installed above the telescopic component 53, and a sliding frame 52 is slidably installed on the lifting plate 51. A limiting shaft 522 is provided on the sliding frame 52. When the telescopic component 53 drives the lifting plate 51 to move up and down, the annular limiting groove 401 on the guide plate 4, in conjunction with the limiting shaft 522, can drive the sliding frame 52 to move left and right during the up and down movement. This makes it easier to push the separated part 1 and makes it more convenient for the external assembly robot arm to pick it up.

[0047] In addition, since a limiting block 521 is provided on the sliding frame 52, as the lifting plate 51 gradually moves downward, the limiting groove 5201 of the limiting block 521 will be driven to lock at both ends of the separated part 1, which can prevent the separated part 1 from shaking and tipping over, and make it easier to pick up later.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the annular limiting groove 401 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. One side of the annular limiting groove 401 has an inclined groove 4011, which is used to guide the sliding frame 52 to move away from the push rod 33. The lowest and highest points of the annular limiting groove 401 are provided with vertex grooves 402. The annular limiting groove 401 and the vertex groove 402 are connected. On the opposite side of the vertex groove 402 of the annular limiting groove 401, a guide block 41 is provided to restrict the reverse movement of the limiting shaft 522.

[0049] By setting an inclined groove 4011 on the annular limiting groove 401, the separated parts can be moved more smoothly in a direction away from the push rod 33, making it easier for the external assembly robot arm to pick them up and assembling large automotive parts more efficiently.

[0050] Additionally, during the upward movement of the limiting shaft 522 from the annular limiting groove 401 (i.e., the apex groove 402 of the lowest point), the guide block 41 below the annular limiting groove 401 can guide the limiting shaft 522 to move away from the push rod 33, causing the limiting shaft 522 to move upward along the side of the annular limiting groove 401 away from the push rod 33. During the downward movement of the limiting shaft 522 from the annular limiting groove 401 (i.e., the other apex groove 402 of the highest point), another guide block 41 above the annular limiting groove 401 can guide the limiting shaft 522 to move towards the push rod 33, causing the limiting shaft 522 to move downward along the side of the annular limiting groove 401 close to the push rod 33, so that the limiting shaft 522 moves clockwise when it is at both ends inside the annular limiting groove 401.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the lifting plate 51 is provided with a guide through hole 5101, and a sliding column is provided below the sliding frame 52, which passes through the guide through hole 5101 and is slidably connected to the guide through hole 5101. The sliding column is used to guide the sliding frame 52 to move horizontally.

[0052] By providing guide holes 5101 on the lifting plate 51, the sliding frame 52 can slide more smoothly on the lifting plate 51, and the separation plate 54 on the sliding frame 52 can be inserted more accurately and stably into the gap between the stacked parts 1, thus separating the stacked parts 1 more efficiently.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, an upper separating blade 541 is provided below the end of the separating plate 54 away from the sliding frame 52. The upper separating blade 541 is used to insert into the gap between the stacked parts 1 during the descent of the sliding frame 52. When the sliding frame 52 moves downward, the upper separating blade 541 first inserts into the gap between the stacked parts 1, which can more easily guide the entire separating plate 54 to be inserted into the gap between the stacked parts 1.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a separation plate 6, which includes a tilting plate 61 rotatably mounted on the base 2 in the middle. A lower separating blade 62 for inserting into the gap between stacked parts 1 is fixedly installed above the end of the tilting plate 61 away from the guide plate 4. A torsion spring 63 is provided below the tilting plate 61 for driving the end of the tilting plate 61 with the lower separating blade 62 to move downward. A pressing plate 55 is fixedly installed below the lifting plate 51. The pressing plate 55 is used to drive the end of the tilting plate 61 away from the lower separating blade 62 upward during the descent of the lifting plate 51. The lower separating blade 62 is wrapped with hard rubber material to avoid scratching the parts 1.

[0055] In this process, by rotating and installing the tilting plate 61 on the base 2, and as the lifting plate 51 moves downward, it drives the upper separating blade 541 to insert into the gap between the stacked parts 1 to separate them. As the lifting plate 51 moves downward, the pressing plate 55 below the lifting plate 51 presses against the end of the tilting plate 61 facing the guide plate 4 and moves downward, causing the end of the tilting plate 61 away from the guide plate 4 to tilt upward. This allows the lower separating blade 62 above the tilting plate 61 to insert into the gap between the stacked parts 1 and separate the lower part of the stacked parts 1. This allows for a more thorough separation of individual parts 1 from the stacked parts 1, and a more efficient and thorough separation of parts 1.

[0056] Working principle: An upper separating blade 541 and a lower separating blade 62 are respectively set above and below the stacked parts 1. When separating the stacked parts 1, a single part 1 can be separated at both the upper and lower positions at the same time, which can more stably separate a single part 1 and avoid damaging the part 1 during the separation process.

[0057] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
