Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of industrial automation and electronic technology, the demand for processing sheet materials is increasing. Current sheet material processing technologies typically employ single-station adsorption devices for material adsorption and delivery, but this design has several shortcomings. First, single-station adsorption devices can only complete adsorption and delivery at one location, failing to handle multiple stations simultaneously, resulting in low processing efficiency. Second, existing devices require frequent adjustments to the robotic arm's position, increasing equipment complexity and maintenance costs. Furthermore, because sheet materials are easily damaged during transfer and orientation, existing transfer methods often rely on manual operation, failing to achieve full automation.

[0003] To address these issues, the industry has been seeking more efficient and automated solutions for handling sheet materials. However, current multi-station devices on the market generally suffer from complex structures, poor stability, and the need to replace corresponding handling devices when switching between different product specifications. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dual-station adsorption and delivery mechanism that can efficiently adsorb and deliver sheet materials while possessing good flexibility and adaptability. This mechanism would solve the problems of low efficiency and complex operation in existing technologies and meet the processing needs of sheet materials of different specifications.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding motion slider is used to fix the transfer fixture and is connected to the filling rotary plate.

[0024] The existing technology has the following drawbacks: 1.

The robotic arm device requires frequent adjustments to the position of the robotic arm, which increases the complexity of the equipment and maintenance costs; 3. Existing dual-station devices suffer from complex structures and poor stability, making it difficult to meet the switching requirements of products with different specifications.

[0025] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this application provides a dual-station adsorption delivery mechanism for processing sheet materials.

[0026] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0027] This application provides a dual-station adsorption and delivery mechanism for processing sheet materials, such as... Figures 1 to 11 As shown, it includes a filling rotating plate 1, a receiving base plate 2, a transfer fixture 3, a rotating fixed plate 4, a transfer fixed vertical plate 5, a first limiting block 61, a second limiting block 62, a cylinder fixing plate 7, a cylinder telescopic mechanism 8, and a receiving and feeding motion slider 9. Through a dual-station design and a rotating delivery mechanism, one step is completed through an adsorption stage, a rotation stage, a delivery stage, and a circulation stage.

[0028] In the adsorption stage, the pneumatic suction cup on the receiving base plate 2 first adsorbs the sheet material, completing the initial fixation; then it enters the rotation stage, where the filling rotating plate 1 rotates 180 degrees clockwise to move the adsorbed sheet material to the processing position; next, it enters the delivery stage, where the transfer fixture 3 transfers the sheet material from the receiving base plate 2 to the processing equipment (such as a cutting head or filling device); finally, it enters the circulation stage, where the rotating plate rotates 180 degrees again, the receiving base plate 2 adsorbs new sheet material, and the next step is completed, thus achieving efficient and continuous automated operation.

[0029] The rotating filling plate 1 carries the sheet material and achieves station switching through rotation. The plate can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, completing one step with each 180-degree rotation. The receiving base plate 2 is equipped with multiple pneumatic suction cups for adsorbing the sheet material. Each suction cup provides independent suction force through a pneumatic system, ensuring the sheet material remains stable and does not fall off during delivery. The bottom of the receiving base plate 2 has multiple mounting holes for fixing the pneumatic suction cups; these holes are evenly distributed in a ring shape, increasing the contact area with the sheet material and improving the adsorption effect.

[0030] The transfer fixture 3 is used to transfer the adsorbed sheet material from the receiving base plate 2 to the processing position. The receiving and feeding motion slider 9 is connected to the cylinder extension mechanism 8 through the cylinder fixing plate 7. The extension and retraction of the cylinder drives the receiving and feeding motion slider 9 to move, thereby realizing the transfer function. The bottom of the transfer fixture 3 is equipped with an anti-slip rubber pad to prevent damage to the sheet material during movement. The rotating fixing plate 4 is used to fix the axis of the filling rotating plate 1, ensuring the stability and accuracy of rotation. The rotating fixing plate 4 is connected to the filling rotating plate 1 through bearings, further improving the flexibility and accuracy of rotation.

[0031] The transfer fixing vertical plate 5 is a structure used to support the filling rotating plate 1 and the transfer fixture 3, providing overall stability. The transfer fixing vertical plate 5 adopts a cubic structure design with threaded holes at the bottom to ensure stability during device operation. The limiting blocks include a first limiting block 61 and a second limiting block 62, used to limit the delivery position of the sheet material, ensuring delivery accuracy. The delivery position of the sheet material is adjusted by moving the limiting blocks back and forth. The cylinder fixing plate 7 is used to receive the feeding motion slider 9 and the cylinder telescopic mechanism 8, ensuring the stability of the operation. The cylinder fixing plate 7 is connected to the feeding motion slider 9 and the cylinder telescopic mechanism 8 by bolts and is made of aluminum alloy, improving the overall structural stability.

[0032] The cylinder telescopic mechanism 8 adopts a parallel design and achieves synchronous control through a control system. The piston rod of each cylinder is connected to the cylinder fixing plate 7 via a connecting rod. The movement of the limit block achieves synchronous telescopic movement of the cylinders, ensuring smooth movement of the transfer fixture 3. The cylinders are pneumatically driven, with precise control achieved through a pneumatic pump and control valves. The receiving and feeding motion slider 9 is used to fix the transfer fixture 3 and is connected to the filling rotating plate 1. Its bottom is connected to the cylinder fixing plate 7. The cylinder telescopic mechanism 8 controls the movement of the cylinder fixing plate 7 through the piston rod, which in turn controls the movement of the receiving and feeding motion slider 9, ultimately allowing the transfer fixture 3 to reach the target position. The control system achieves intelligent control through a PLC controller and also includes a touch screen display for showing the current status and parameter settings.

[0033] The dual-station design of this application significantly improves processing efficiency by simultaneously performing adsorption and delivery operations. The rotation and delivery actions can be precisely controlled by a program, greatly reducing manual intervention and effectively lowering labor intensity. The combined design of the pneumatic suction cup and rotating plate is compact, easy to maintain, and ensures operational stability and efficiency. The dual-station adsorption and delivery mechanism can be used with various processing equipment (such as laser cutting machines and honeycomb panel filling machines), making it widely applicable. The dual-station adsorption and delivery mechanism reduces equipment complexity and maintenance costs while improving material utilization and lowering production costs.

[0034] Through its innovative dual-station adsorption delivery mechanism design, this technology effectively overcomes the shortcomings of traditional technologies, such as low efficiency and cumbersome operation, demonstrating outstanding market application potential. The mechanism boasts advantages such as simple structure, convenient operation, and high compatibility, making it widely applicable in various industrial scenarios. It significantly improves production efficiency and substantially reduces labor costs, possessing significant practical value and promotional significance.
