TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sheet thin product pipeline production, in particular to a feeding system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] After the sheet thin product comes out from the pipeline, it often needs to be collected and fed in a stacking manner to facilitate the subsequent packaging and bundling process. In the prior art, the material receiving mechanism usually includes a feeding module, one or more transfer modules and an output module, which not only has a complex structure and a high failure rate, but also is not conducive to reducing manufacturing costs. In addition, in production practice, in order to ensure that the materials are stacked neatly before packaging and bundling, a material arrangement assembly is often used to pat and arrange the stacked materials. The existing material arrangement assembly usually pats and arranges the materials at a fixed height. Considering the fast production rhythm in practice, the actual material arrangement effect is often limited, and if the flatness of the stacked materials is poor, manual assistance is required for arrangement, which is not conducive to improving production quality and reducing labor costs.

[0007] On the basis of the above technical scheme, the stroke range of the upward and downward displacement of the first support rod group is adapted to the height of the material stack.

[0008] On the basis of the above technical scheme, the material sorting assembly further comprises a material sorting drive, the material sorting unit includes a cross rod across the first output platform, a plurality of vertically extending material sorting rods are inserted into the cross rod, and the material sorting rods can be displaced forward and backward under the action of the material sorting drive and abut the material, so as to beat and arrange the material in the extension channel.

[0009] On the basis of the above technical scheme, the downward stroke of the material stacked to a set number on the first output platform includes an upper section close to the upstream conveying unit and a lower section away from the upstream conveying unit, and the material sorting unit is displaced upward and downward with the first output platform in the upper section stroke of the first output platform.

[0010] On the basis of the above technical scheme, the supporting arm is arranged in front and back positions adjustable along the conveying direction, the two ends of the horizontal rod are connected with the material sorting driving piston end arranged at the end of the supporting arm through the two vertical rods which are slidable up and down, and the vertical rods abut against the first output platform downward to support the material sorting unit upward. The supporting arm is further fixed with a plurality of guide rods which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart with the material sorting rod, and the guide rods include length sections inclined downward from top to bottom to guide the material to fall smoothly.

[0011] A material receiving method using the material receiving system as described above, comprising the steps of: S1: the first supporting rod group extends above the first output platform to receive the material falling from the upstream conveying unit; S2: the first supporting rod group is lowered under the driving of the second supporting rod, the material is stacked on the first supporting rod group, when the first supporting rod group is lowered to the lower limit position under the driving of the second supporting rod, the first output platform is raised to the upper limit position under the driving of the third output platform, so that the first supporting rod group is close to the first output platform downward, and the material sorting assembly is displaced with the first output platform to the upper limit position; wherein the upper limit position and the lower limit position of the first supporting rod group are defined as the highest position and the lowest position of the up and down stroke range of the first supporting rod group when the material stack is set to a certain height, and the upper limit position and the lower limit position of the first output platform are defined as the highest position and the lowest position of the up and down stroke range of the first output platform when the material stack is also set to a certain height.

[0014] Advantages The present application has reasonable structure. The material conveyed by the upstream conveying unit can be dropped to the first supporting rod group during the receiving process. The stacked material is transferred to the first output platform under the action of the first supporting rod drive and the second supporting rod drive. The material transfer process is designed such that when the first supporting rod group approaches the first output platform downward and is withdrawn from above the first output platform, the material is transferred to the output assembly. In this way, on the one hand, the material transfer is efficiently realized, and on the other hand, the receiving mechanism is greatly simplified, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the receiving mechanism and promoting the use. In the present application, the first output platform includes a plurality of parallel arranged rollers, or the output assembly is a belt conveyor, which includes a conveying belt or a plurality of parallel and spaced conveying belt strips.

In this way, the material transfer can be more efficiently completed, which is conducive to matching the faster production rhythm. In addition, after the material is dropped by the upstream conveying unit, it can be accommodated in the extended channel, that is, the material can be regularized during the dropping process, while reducing the probability of lateral dumping. In addition, the downward part of the partition plate extends into the rollers or conveying belt strips of the first output platform, so that the first output platform is more close to the upstream conveying unit upward under the action of the third output drive, which is also conducive to ensuring the stability of the dropping.

[0016] The material arranging assembly of the present application has reasonable design. The material arranging unit moves up and down with the first output platform and simultaneously hits the material forward and backward to arrange the material, that is, the material is arranged while the first output platform transfers the material downward. The design is ingenious, which can match the faster production rhythm, while ensuring sufficient material arrangement and good flatness of the stacked material vertical surface. Further, the material arranging unit moves up and down with the first output platform in the upper segment of the first output platform, and the material arranging unit moves up and down passively. On the one hand, it saves cost, saves space occupation, and reduces failure rate. On the other hand, it saves the movement stroke of the material arranging unit, reduces loss and improves service life. On the other hand, it can also avoid interference with other components, facilitate disassembly and maintenance. When the material arranging unit moves up and down with the first output platform in the upper segment, the material arranging rod approaches the first output platform downward to ensure good material arrangement effect.

[0023] Example 1 AsFigures 1 to 5 An illustrated material handling system, comprising a receiving assembly 10, an output assembly 20 and a material handling assembly 30.

[0024] The receiving assembly 10 comprises a first carrier bar group 11, a first carrier bar drive and a second carrier bar drive. In the embodiment, the first carrier bar group 11 comprises a plurality of carrier bars arranged side by side and extending horizontally along the conveying direction, for supporting the material, such as Figure 4 as shown; in the embodiment, the first carrier bar group 11 is used to receive the material from the front-end conveying unit 100.

[0025] The first carrier bar group 11 can move horizontally reciprocally under the action of the first carrier bar drive, to extend over or retract from above the first output platform 21; in the embodiment, the first carrier bar drive adopts a motor belt transmission mechanism, which is a prior art, and in other embodiments of the application, the first carrier bar drive can also be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a motor chain transmission mechanism, a gear rack transmission mechanism or a linear motor. The first carrier bar group 11 can be raised and lowered under the action of the second carrier bar drive; in this way, when the material is stacked on the first carrier bar group 11, the first carrier bar group 11 can be slowly lowered to always keep the top surface of the stacked material close to the end of the conveying unit 100, to ensure that the material is smoothly discharged. The travel range of the upward and downward displacement of the first carrier bar group 11 is adapted to the height of the stacked material, i.e. the travel range of the upward and downward displacement of the first carrier bar group 11 is slightly smaller than or equal to the height of the stacked material. In the embodiment, the second carrier bar drive is a pneumatic cylinder, and in other embodiments of the application, the second carrier bar drive can be a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a gear rack transmission mechanism, a linear motor or a nut and screw mechanism.

[0026] The output assembly 20 is used to receive and transfer the material outward, comprising a first output platform 21 and a third output drive 22. In the embodiment, the first output platform 21 is a belt conveyor, which comprises a plurality of conveying belt strips arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the conveying belt strips of the upper layer form an output table surface. The arrangement direction of the conveying belt strips is perpendicular to the carrier bars in the first carrier bar group 11. In other embodiments of the application, the first output platform 21 is a roller conveying device, which comprises a plurality of rollers arranged side by side, and the top surface of the rollers forms an output table surface. In this way, the optional equipment range of the first output platform 21 is large and additional receiving modules are avoided, which is conducive to reducing the cost.

[0027] The first output platform 21 can directly receive the material from the upstream conveying unit 100 or receive the material transferred from the first carrier bar group 11. The lifting of the first output platform 21 to receive the material from the upstream conveying unit 100 or the first carrier bar group 11 is a prior art, which will not be described here.

[0028] The first output platform 21 can be raised and lowered under the action of a third output drive 22. In this embodiment, the third output drive 22 is an output cylinder. In other embodiments of the application, the third output drive 22 can be a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a rack and pinion transmission mechanism, a linear motor or a nut and screw mechanism.

[0029] The process of transferring the material from the first support rod group 11 to the first output platform 21 is designed such that when the first support rod group 11 is lowered to be close to the first output platform 21 and is withdrawn from above the first output platform 21, the material is transferred to the first output platform 21.

[0030] In addition, the second support rod drive and the third output drive 22 are designed such that when the third output drive 22 drives the first output platform 21 to be displaced upward to its upper limit position, the first support rod group 11 receives the material, and the second support rod drive drives the first support rod group 11 to be displaced downward to its lower limit position and to be close to the first output platform 21, so as to facilitate the transfer of the material on the first support rod group 11 to the first output platform 21.

[0031] The material arranging assembly 30 includes a material arranging unit 31 arranged above the first output platform 21 and movable up and down with the first output platform 21. The material arranging unit 31 avoids the first support rod group 11, and the material arranging unit 31 is designed such that the material arranging unit 31 is displaced forward and backward along the material conveying direction to pat and arrange the stacked material on the first output platform. In this embodiment, the material arranging unit 31 is displaced forward and backward during the up and down displacement of the first output platform 21 to pat and arrange the material in the extended channel. This design is ingenious and can match a faster production rhythm while ensuring sufficient material arrangement and ensuring that the vertical surface of the stacked material has good flatness.

[0032] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5 The material arranging unit 31 includes a plurality of parallel arranged material arranging rods 313. When the material arranging unit 31 is displaced forward and backward, the material arranging rods 313 move forward and backward and abut against the material to pat and arrange the material in the extended channel. In this embodiment, the material arranging unit 31 includes two vertical rods 311 and a cross rod 312 connecting the two vertical rods 311. The cross rod 312 spans the first output platform 21.

[0033] The material arranging rods 313 are inserted into the cross rod 312 and vertically extend. The heads of the material arranging rods 313 pass through the cross rod 312 and gap fit with the cross rod 312. The part of the head of the material arranging rod 313 extending out of the cross rod 312 is provided with a flange to limit the downward displacement of the material arranging rod 313. The arrangement further includes a grid plate 40 arranged close to the end of the upstream conveying unit 100. As shown in Figures 1 to 3 The grid plate 40 is fixedly arranged at the end of the upstream conveying unit 100 and includes a plurality of vertically extending grooves to avoid the support rods above the first output platform 21 for receiving the material.Figure 3 As shown, the grid plate 40 and the sorting unit 31 form a sorting space, and when sorting, the material can abut against the sorting unit 31 and the grid plate 40 to complete the sorting.

[0034] Further comprising a plurality of partitions 50 arranged above the first output platform 21, the partitions 50 extend along the conveying direction and form a plurality of extension channels of the conveying channels, the material dropped by the upstream conveying unit 100 can be accommodated in the extension channels, and the plurality of sorting rods 313 are divided into multiple groups and arranged one-to-one corresponding to the multiple extension channels, so that when the sorting unit 31 beats the material forward and backward in the extension channels, the partitions 50 can also arrange the left and right vertical surfaces of the stacked material, further ensuring the sorting effect. In the embodiment, the partitions 50 can be partially inserted into the first output platform 21 downward, specifically, the lower part of the partition 50 is tooth-shaped and includes a plurality of parallel arranged teeth, the teeth can be inserted into the gap between the two conveying belts to avoid the first output platform 21.

[0035] When the material is stacked to a certain number on the first output platform 21, the descending stroke includes an upper segment close to the upstream conveying unit 100 and a lower segment away from the upstream conveying unit 100, and the sorting unit 31 is also designed to move up and down with the first output platform 21 in the upper segment of the first output platform 21. In addition, when the sorting unit 31 moves up and down with the first output platform 21 in the upper segment, the sorting rod 313 is close to the first output platform 21 downward to ensure good sorting effect.

[0036] As shown, Figure 5 Further comprising a supporting arm 33, the supporting arm 33 has two and is arranged on both sides of the sorting unit 31, and the two supporting arms 33 are arranged adjustable in position forward and backward along the conveying direction, so that different specifications of materials can be adapted, and the flexibility is good. Among them, the supporting arm 33 adjustable in position forward and backward along the conveying direction is prior art, which will not be repeated here.

[0037] As shown, Figure 5 The two ends of the cross rod 312 are connected to the piston end of the sorting drive 32 arranged at the end of the supporting arm 33 through the two vertical rods 311 slidable up and down, so that when the supporting arm 33 moves forward and backward, the sorting unit 31 moves forward and backward. Specifically, the sorting drive 32 adopts a cylinder and is fixed at the end of the supporting arm 33, and in other embodiments of the application, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a gear and rack transmission mechanism, a linear motor or a nut and screw mechanism can also be used. The piston end of the sorting drive 32 is connected with the vertical rod 311 of the sorting unit 31 to drive the sorting unit 31 to move forward and backward to beat and arrange the stacked material.

[0038] As shown, Figure 3 and 4As shown, the vertical rod 311 of the sorting unit 31 is connected downwardly with a roller 38, the wheel surface of the roller 38 abuts against the horizontal end face on the first output platform 21, so that the first output platform 21 can support the sorting unit 31 upwardly, for improving flexibility, the vertical rod 311 is connected with the roller 38 through a mounting arm, a plurality of vertical long holes are arranged on the mounting arm, for facilitating adjustment of the height position of the roller 38.

[0039] As shown in Figure 3 and 5 specifically, further comprising a sliding seat 36 and a sliding rail 37 matched with the sliding seat 36, in the embodiment, the sliding seat 36 is fixedly arranged at the piston end of the sorting drive 32, and the sliding rail 37 is fixedly arranged at the vertical rod 311 of the sorting unit 31 and vertically extends, so that the sorting unit 31 is connected with the piston end of the sorting drive 32 in a slidable manner upwardly and downwardly, and the sorting unit 31 is passively displaced upwardly and downwardly, while the sorting unit 31 is righted when the first output platform 21 is displaced upwardly and downwardly.

[0040] The upper end and the lower end of the sliding rail 37 are respectively connected with an upper stop portion 34 and a lower stop portion 35 extending horizontally, when the first output platform 21 is displaced upwardly, the upper stop portion 34 can limit the upward displacement of the sorting unit 31, when the first output platform 21 is displaced downwardly, the lower stop portion 35 can limit the downward displacement of the sorting unit 31, so as to ensure safety in use and avoid that the sorting unit 31 is detached from the supporting arm 33 in the case of inertia or failure.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1 and 2 the length of the inserted teeth of the partition plate 50 is adapted to the displacement stroke of the sorting unit 31 upwardly and downwardly, specifically, the partition plate 50 is designed such that, when the lower stop portion 35 abuts against the sliding seat 36 and the first output platform 21 starts the lower stroke, the inserted teeth at the lower part of the partition plate 50 are close to or extend into the top surface of the first output platform 21 by a small depth, for example, 0-5mm into the space between the two roller shafts or the two conveying belts. That is, in the upper stroke range of the first output platform 21, the inserted teeth of the partition plate 50 are always arranged in the gap between the conveying belt strips, so as to ensure the sorting effect of the sorting unit 31 and avoid the situation that the lower layer of materials slips from the gap between the partition plate 50 and the first output platform 21 due to the shaking of the materials when the sorting unit 31 hits the materials forwardly and backwardly, so as to ensure the continuity of production. Meanwhile, the design of the partition plate 50 in the present application also makes the upper limit position of the first output platform 21 closer to the upstream conveying unit 100, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the material falling.

[0042] A material receiving method, which adopts the material receiving system as described above, takes a stack of 100 pieces of materials as an example, and comprises the following steps: S1: the first supporting rod group 11 extends above the first output platform to receive the materials falling from the upstream conveying unit; as Figure 1As shown, at this time, the first supporting rod group 11 is close to the end of the upstream conveying unit 100 and slightly lower than the upstream conveying unit 100, facilitating the material to fall from the conveying unit 100 to the first supporting rod group 11.

[0043] S2: As the material stack reaches a certain height, for example, after stacking 10 pieces, the first supporting rod group 11 slowly descends under the action of the second supporting rod drive, so as to ensure that the top of the stacked material is always slightly lower than the top surface of the conveying unit 100, facilitating the material to fall, for example, Figure 5 As shown; at the same time, the baffle 50 can regulate the material left and right during the falling process, reducing the probability of the material falling due to too many stacks.

[0044] The material continues to stack on the first supporting rod group 11, and when the stack reaches 85 pieces, the first supporting rod group 11 descends to its lower limit under the action of the second supporting rod drive, as shown, Figure 7 At the same time, the first output platform 21 rises to its upper limit under the action of the third output drive 22, and at this time, the first supporting rod group 11 is close to the first output platform 21 downward, during this process, the teeth of the baffle 50 always extend into the gap between the conveying belts; at the same time, the material regulating unit 31 moves with the first output platform 21 to its upper limit; S3: The first supporting rod group 11 is withdrawn from above the first output platform under the action of the first supporting rod drive, so that the material falls onto the first output platform 21 in the upper limit, that is, the first output platform 21 replaces the first supporting rod group 11 to continue receiving the material; when the material on the first output platform 21 stacks to the set 100 pieces, then the first supporting rod group 22 rises to its upper limit under the action of the first supporting rod drive and the second supporting rod drive and extends above the first output platform 21, because the first supporting rod group 11 is detached from below the stacked material, the top surface of the stacked material instantaneously descends, at this time, the first output platform 21 is stationary and continues to receive the material, when the material on the first output platform 21 stacks to 100 pieces, the material stacking is completed, as shown, Figure 9 As shown; S4: The first supporting rod group 11 starts to receive the material, at the same time, the first output platform 21 starts to descend, and the material regulating unit 31 moves forward and backward under the action of the material regulating drive 32 to regulate the material; in the upper segment of the stroke of the first output platform 21, the material regulating unit 31 moves up and down with the first output platform 21 and regulates the material; then, the first output platform 21 continues to descend into the lower segment of the stroke and separates from the material regulating unit 31, and the first output platform 21 descends to its lower limit under the action of the third output drive, and then the first output platform 21 transports the stacked material outward, as shown. Figure 10 As shown.

[0045] This cycle is repeated.

[0046] Example 2 The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that, Figure 11As shown, the device further comprises a second output platform 23 arranged in front of the first output platform 21 in the conveying direction, and the second output platform 23 is used for temporarily storing and conveying the materials, so as to avoid the materials staying on the first output platform 21, and the first output platform 21 can match a faster production rhythm, and the production efficiency is improved. In the embodiment, the second output platform 23 is arranged on both sides of the first output platform 21, and the materials on the first output platform 21 can be conveniently temporarily stored and conveyed when the materials are reversely conveyed.

[0047] In addition, the device further comprises a sensor for identifying the materials, and the sensor is electrically connected with an external controller and is designed to send a signal to the external controller when the first supporting rod group 11 is close to the first output platform 21 and the sensor identifies the materials on the first output platform 21, and the external controller can send an alarm signal and timely shut down the device, so as to avoid the collision between the first supporting rod group 11 and the materials on the first output platform 21 when the first output platform 21 is in the upper limit position and the materials are erroneously stayed on the first output platform 21, and the device is damaged, and the service life of the device is improved.
