Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automated production equipment, in particular to a shuttle machine suitable for a multi-station production line. Background Art

[0002] As a transfer device primarily used to move and transport materials between different workstations, shuttles are key equipment for improving automation, production efficiency, product quality, and safety. For example, on multi-station automotive stamping lines, shuttles are the core hub for efficient, precise, and automated transport of large panels. They perfectly solve the challenge of high-speed, stable, and damage-free sheet metal handling between multiple press stations.

[0003] During the workstation conversion process, material positioning is a very critical process. However, existing shuttles often only have a one-way conveying function. To ensure the accuracy of positioning, existing shuttles often need to be equipped with a separate positioning device to position the delivered materials.

[0004] Furthermore, shuttles between different pieces of equipment require different transport parameters. Taking a multi-station stamping line as an example, the mold heights of different press stations vary, and due to site layout constraints, the distances between different press stations may also vary. However, existing shuttles are often fixed structures, unable to adjust transport parameters (transport distance, height), and lack universality. Therefore, in actual production, shuttles of different specifications are required based on needs. Summary of the Invention

The second slider 34 is fixedly provided on the lower side surface of the third mounting seat 313 by screws.

[0044] like Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the third driving component includes a driving pulley 251 and a driven pulley 252 provided on the first slide 21. A synchronous belt 253 is provided between the driving pulley 251 and the driven pulley 252.

Ribs are respectively provided on both sides of the vertical beam 322 between the support beam 323 and the vertical beam 322. A first support plate 324 is provided on the support beam 323, and the first support plate 324 is fixedly connected to the support beam 323 in a detachable manner.

[0047] Furthermore, the first bracket 32 ​​is provided with a material detection switch 325 for detecting whether there is material.

[0048] As a specific implementation method, Figure 14 As shown, the material detection switch 325 described in this embodiment adopts a conventional photoelectric switch, and the material detection switch 325 is set on one side of the support beam 323 through a first switch bracket 3251.

[0049] Furthermore, a double material detection switch 326 is provided on the first bracket 32. The double material detection switch 326 is used to detect the number of sheets placed on the first bracket 32 ​​to avoid the situation where two or more sheets are placed.

[0050] Due to the effect of the oil film on the surface of the sheet material and other reasons, steel plates often stick together, and double-layer or multi-layer sheets are easily produced when loading. If double-layer or multi-layer sheets are fed into the press, not only may defective products be produced, but in serious cases, damage may be caused to the equipment or mold, resulting in high maintenance costs and delays in normal production. In order to ensure the safety of the equipment and molds and to ensure the continuous progress of production, the embodiment of the present application sets a double-material detection switch 326 on the first bracket 32 ​​to avoid this situation. The double-material detection switch 326 is a prior art and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0051] As a specific embodiment, in this embodiment, a second switch bracket 3261 is provided on the lower side of the first support plate 324, and the second switch bracket 3261 is detachably fixedly connected to the first support plate 324. The double material detection switch 326 is detachably fixedly mounted on the second switch bracket 3261. The first support plate 324 is provided with an escape hole for evading the double material detection switch 326.

[0054] The first beating rod 331 is connected to the slide of the first linear module 335, and the second beating rod 332 is connected to the slide of the second linear module 336. The first beating rod 331 and the second beating rod 332 can move toward or away from each other under the drive of the first linear module 335 and the second linear module 336, thereby beating the sheet material in a first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the sliding direction of the second slide 31. Figure 1 In the coordinate system shown, the first beating rod 331 and the second beating rod 332 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the first slide 21. When the first beating rod 331 and the second beating rod 332 move toward each other driven by the first linear module 335 and the second linear module 336, the sheet material can be beaten laterally.

[0055] The flapping cylinder 333 is arranged on a slide with the third linear module 337. The piston rod of the flapping cylinder 333 faces one side of the first bracket 32, and the rod end of the piston rod of the flapping cylinder 333 is provided with a flapping block 3331. The flapping cylinder 333 can reciprocate along the first direction under the drive of the third linear module 337. The piston rod of the flapping cylinder 333 can extend and retract in the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. That is, the flapping cylinder 333 is used to flap the sheet metal longitudinally.

[0056] The first linear module 335, the second linear module 336, and the third linear module 337 can be a ball screw 371 linear module, a synchronous belt 253 linear module, a pneumatic linear module, or a linear motor module. As a specific embodiment, the first linear module 335, the second linear module 336, and the third linear module 337 in this embodiment all use a synchronous belt 253 linear module.

[0064] By designing the beating component 33 to be a slidable structure and providing a fourth driving component, it can adapt to sheet materials of different lengths, thereby improving versatility.

[0065] From the above description, it can be seen that the shuttle machine suitable for a multi-station production line provided in the embodiment of the present application is divided into three major parts, which can be assembled separately and then assembled as a whole machine, thereby realizing modular assembly and facilitating installation and future maintenance.

[0066] The working process of a shuttle machine applicable to a multi-station production line provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: First, the base lifting device 1 automatically adjusts to the specified height according to the sheet material information and the mold height, and the two flapping components 33 are adjusted to the specified position before flapping according to the sheet material information; Second, the stacking robot places the sheet material on the centering and beating assembly 3. The material detection switch 325 installed on the centering and beating assembly 3 checks whether there is material, and the double material detection switch 326 checks whether there is a double material anomaly. If there is an anomaly, the machine stops and waits for manual processing; if there is no anomaly, the machine proceeds to the next step.

[0067] Third, the second motor 15 and the third motor 26 are operated, thereby driving the centering and beating unit 3 to move along the direction of the sheet material flow. At the same time, the centering and beating unit 3 is started, thereby beating and centering the sheet material horizontally and vertically during the conveying process to complete the centering positioning.

[0068] The shuttle provided in the embodiment of the present application, which is suitable for a multi-station production line, adopts a two-stage telescopic design. During operation, the second motor 15 and the third motor 26 drive the first slide 21 and the second slide 31 to move simultaneously. This not only reduces the floor space occupied in the retracted state, but also increases the operating speed, improves production efficiency, and accelerates the production cycle. In addition, the shuttle provided in the embodiment of the present application, which is suitable for a multi-station production line, can simultaneously perform the centering, tapping, and conveying processes during operation. Compared with the traditional form of a shuttle and positioning device as two separate devices, this can effectively improve production efficiency and accelerate the production cycle.
