Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of sheet material conveying, and in particular to a sheet material conveyor and conveying method. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of board processing, especially when conveying boards of inconsistent specifications, existing board conveyors cannot achieve good single-board conveying function. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, one of the purposes of this application is to provide a sheet material conveyor and conveying method, which has the advantages of good single sheet material conveying.

[0004] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution: A sheet metal conveyor includes a feeding mechanism and a conveying mechanism. The feeding mechanism is not vertically arranged. The conveying mechanism includes a conveying component and a driving component for moving the conveying component. The conveying component is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the sheet metal. The feeding mechanism is used to move the sheet metal toward the conveying mechanism and into the receiving groove.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, in use, since the conveying component is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the board, and the feeding mechanism is used to move the board toward the receiving groove, the board moves under the action of the driving component after entering the receiving groove, thereby bringing the board out of the receiving groove, thus achieving the purpose of good single board conveying.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, this application may be further configured such that the movement path of the receiving slot is cyclically arranged and at least one segment of the path is straight.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, at least one section of the path is straight during use, which improves the conveying effect of the sheet material.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that the conveying assembly includes a conveyor belt having a plurality of the aforementioned receiving slots.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up multiple receiving slots, the conveying efficiency of the sheet metal can be improved.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that the feeding mechanism includes a feeding plane for supporting the plate, and the feeding plane is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the receiving groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact effect between the sheet material and the receiving tank is better during the conveying process, and the sheet material is easier to enter the receiving tank.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, this application may be further configured such that the feeding plane is tilted.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding plane is tilted, which causes the plates arranged on the feeding plane to also tilt, thus reducing the probability of the plates tipping over and making it easier for the plates to enter the receiving groove.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that the feeding mechanism includes a feeding assembly and baffles, the baffles being located on both sides of the feeding assembly for defining the position of the plate, and the feeding assembly for supporting the plate and moving the plate toward the receiving groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of the baffle enables a good conveying effect during the conveying of the sheet material, reducing the probability of sheet material displacement.

[0016] This application also discloses a method for conveying a sheet metal, comprising the following steps: Arrangement steps: Arrange the boards into long strips; Conveying step: Apply a force toward the receiving groove to the arranged plates.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, this application may be further configured to include a tilting step before the conveying step, the tilting step being used to tilt the arranged plates toward the receiving groove and parallel to the bottom surface of the receiving groove.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, this application may be further configured to include a detection step after the conveying step, the detection step being used to detect the remaining amount of the sheet material, and when the remaining amount of the sheet material reaches a warning value, to make a judgment, and if there is no subsequent sheet material, to apply additional force to the remaining sheet material.

[0022] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application discloses a sheet metal conveyor, which includes a frame 1, a feeding mechanism 2 and a conveying mechanism 3 on the frame 1, and the feeding mechanism 2 is located on one side of the conveying mechanism 3.

[0024] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding assembly 21 and a baffle 22. The feeding assembly 21 includes a feeding plane 211, which is used to support the plate. The baffle 22 is disposed on both sides of the feeding plane 211 (these two sides may be projected within the feeding plane 211 or not). In this embodiment, the feeding assembly 21 may be a belt conveyor, a chain conveyor, or other structures that can achieve the function of supporting and conveying.

[0025] The conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveying component and a driving component for driving the conveying component to move. The conveying component is provided with a receiving groove 31 for accommodating the sheet material. The feeding mechanism 2 is used to move the sheet material toward the conveying mechanism 3 and into the receiving groove 31.

[0026] The conveying assembly includes a conveyor belt with multiple partitions 32 mounted on it, forming receiving grooves 31 between adjacent partitions 32. In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 3 can be a belt conveyor, chain conveyor, etc. The moving path of the receiving groove 31 is cyclically arranged, and at least one section of the path is straight for conveying the sheet material. The bottom surface of the receiving groove 31 (i.e., the surface in contact with the conveying assembly and the sheet material) is perpendicular to the feeding plane 211. The feeding plane 211 is inclined.

[0027] This application also discloses a method for conveying sheet metal, which can be used in the aforementioned sheet metal conveyor, comprising the following steps: Arrangement steps: Arrange the boards into long strips; Inclining step: Incise the long strip of plates toward the receiving groove 31 and make them parallel to the bottom surface of the receiving groove 31. Conveying step: Apply a force toward the receiving groove 31 to the inclined plate and move the plate toward the receiving groove 31; Inspection steps: Inspect the remaining amount of the board. When the remaining amount of the tilted board reaches the warning value, make a judgment. If there is no subsequent board, continue to inspect the remaining amount of the board. When the remaining amount of the tilted board reaches the interference value, apply additional force to the remaining tilted board. Adjustment steps: When the remaining amount of the board reaches the warning value and there are no subsequent boards, reduce the conveying speed of the conveying component. When the remaining amount of the board reaches the interference value and there is an additional force applied to the board, restore the conveying speed of the conveying component. When the remaining amount of the board reaches the stop value, reduce the conveying speed of the conveying component. When the second to last board enters the receiving tank 31, cancel the force applied to the remaining boards towards the conveying component. When the second board is conveyed out, restore the force applied to the last board. Stop the machine after the last board enters the receiving tank 31. At this time, the last board has not been conveyed out.

[0028] When additional force is applied to the sheet metal, the source of the force can be machinery (such as cylinders, electric actuators, etc.) or force applied by the operator.

[0029] The warning value is the length of the arranged boards. Assuming the length of the arranged boards is 10 units, as the boards are continuously conveyed, the length of the arranged boards decreases to 7 units (reaching the warning value). At this point, the feeding effect of the feeding component 21 on the arranged boards weakens, thus reducing the conveying effect, but it still has a conveying function. If no subsequent boards are placed on the feeding plane 211 of the feeding component 21, the force applied by the feeding component 21 to the arranged boards will further weaken as the number of boards decreases. When the length of the arranged boards becomes 4 units (reaching the interference value), external force is required. Therefore, by applying force to the remaining boards, the boards can be completely conveyed. When the length of the arranged boards becomes 1 unit (reaching the interference value), the conveying mechanism 3 will stop.

[0030] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During the conveying process, after arranging boards with similar specifications (when turning trees into boards with thickness, the specifications of the boards cannot be well unified due to the nature of the trees themselves), they are placed at the feeding mechanism 2, and under the action of the feeding mechanism 2, the boards enter the receiving groove 31 of the conveying mechanism 3, thereby achieving a good conveying effect.

[0031] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
