[0066] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the structure of the lifting mechanism of the plate processing system provided in the embodiment of the present application. The conveying table 3 includes a lifting mechanism 31 and a buffer material box 32. The lifting mechanism 31 is installed on the side of the base 1. The buffer material box 32 is connected to the lifting mechanism 31. The lifting mechanism 31 is used to drive the buffer material box 32 to move up and down in the vertical direction to realize the exchange of plates with the workbench 2 at different heights. The vertical direction is Figure 2 The X direction in .

[0067] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 31 includes a gear drive assembly 310 and a rack support 311. The gear drive assembly 310 is connected to the base 1. One end of the rack support 311 is movably connected to the base 1, and the other end of the rack support 311 is fixedly connected to the cache box 32. The rack support 311 is meshed with the gear drive assembly 310. The gear drive assembly 310 is used to drive the rack support 311 and the cache box 32 to move in the vertical direction.

[0068] There are two rack supports 311 and they are spaced apart along the base 1. The gear drive assembly 310 includes a drive shaft 310a, a first drive member 310b and a drive gear 310c. There are two drive gears 310c and they are respectively arranged at both ends of the drive shaft 310a. The two drive gears 310c are respectively engaged with the two rack supports 311. The first drive member 310b is used to drive the drive shaft 310a to drive the drive gears 310c at both ends to rotate, so that the two rack supports 311 can be raised and lowered synchronously to drive the cache box 32 to move in the vertical direction, so that the cache box 32 can be docked with or avoid the workbench 2.

[0069] In this embodiment, two rack support members 311 are driven to move simultaneously by a first driving member 310b, thereby reducing costs. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of first driving members 310b can also be set corresponding to the number of driving gears 310c. For example, the gear drive assembly 310 can include two first driving members 310b and two driving gears 310c. Each first driving member 310b drives a driving gear 310c to rotate respectively. The two driving gears 310c are respectively engaged with the two rack support members 311. The output shafts of the first driving members 310b are respectively used to drive the driving gears 310c to rotate, so that the two rack support members 311 can be raised and lowered synchronously.

[0070] In this embodiment, the gear drive assembly 310 further includes a reducer 310d, which has two power output ends, which are coaxially arranged and symmetrical to each other, and are respectively connected to two rack support members 311, and the first drive member 310b is connected to the reducer 310d, which is used to change the output speed, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the lifting mechanism 31. Among them, the reducer 310d is a turbine reducer, and it can be understood that in other embodiments, the reducer 310d can also be other structures, such as a gear reducer.

[0071] In this embodiment, the workbench 2 is arranged on the upper surface of the base 1, and the lifting mechanism 31 is installed on the side of the base 1, so that the workbench 2 and the lifting mechanism 31 form an L shape, and the cache box 32 is connected to the lifting mechanism 31. The cache box 32, the workbench 2 and the lifting mechanism 31 are integrated in the base 1, which improves the compactness of the plate processing system, reduces the footprint of the plate processing system, and improves space utilization.

[0072] In this embodiment, along the height direction, the projection of the cache box 32 at least partially falls into the base 1, so that the cache box 32 overlaps with the working range of the workbench 2, further improving the compactness of the sheet metal processing system, thereby further reducing the footprint of the sheet metal processing system and improving space utilization.

[0073] In this embodiment, the cache material box 32 includes a feed silo and a discharge silo arranged in sequence along the height direction. The feed silo is used to transfer the material to be processed to the workbench 2 through the conveyor table 3, and the discharge silo is used to receive the processed material conveyed by the workbench 2.

[0074] In this embodiment, the discharge silo and the feed silo are both provided with a plurality of workstations of the same number along the horizontal direction, wherein each workstation is used for temporarily storing a group of materials.

In some embodiments, the conveying platform 3 further includes two first conveying mechanisms 33 sequentially arranged in the buffer material box 32 along the height direction, and the two first conveying mechanisms 33 are respectively arranged in the feed bin and the discharge bin, one of the first conveying mechanisms 33 is used to convey the material to be processed to the workbench 2, and the other first conveying mechanism 33 is used to receive the processed material supplied by the workbench 2.

[0076] Specifically, the first conveying mechanism 33 includes a plurality of mounting members 330, a motor 331, a transmission shaft 332, and a plurality of synchronous belt assemblies 333. The plurality of mounting members 330 are arranged at intervals along the length extension direction of the buffer material box 32. The transmission shaft 332 is rotatably arranged through the plurality of mounting members 330, and the transmission shaft 332 is connected to the motor 331. Each synchronous belt assembly 333 is arranged at each mounting member 330, and the plurality of synchronous belt assemblies 333 are connected to the transmission shaft 332 and arranged at intervals along the length extension direction of the transmission shaft 332. Two adjacent synchronous belt assemblies 333 among the plurality of synchronous belt assemblies 333 form a conveying station 333d, and a plurality of materials to be processed are respectively located at each conveying station 333d. Each conveying station 333d can be provided with position sensors such as edge finding sensors, material detection sensors, and in-position sensors, so as to accurately locate and pick up the materials to be processed.

[0077] Each synchronous belt assembly 333 includes a first driving wheel 333a, a first driven wheel 333b and a first belt 333c. The first driving wheel 333a and the first driven wheel 333b are respectively arranged at two ends of the mounting member 330. The first belt 333c is respectively wound around the first driving wheel 333a, the mounting member 330 and the first driven wheel 333b. The mounting member 330 is used to support the first belt 333c when carrying a plate, so as to prevent the first belt 333c from breaking due to excessive load, thereby improving the service life of the first belt 333c. The transmission shaft 332 is connected to each first driving wheel 333a. The motor 331 is used to drive the transmission shaft 332 to drive each first driving wheel 333a to move synchronously, thereby driving each first belt 333c to move, so that the materials to be processed located at each conveying station 333d move simultaneously along the first direction.

[0078] In this embodiment, the surface of the first belt 333c is higher than the surface of the mounting member 330 to prevent the plate from rubbing against the mounting member 330 when placed on the first belt 333c, thereby ensuring smooth transportation of the plate.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 33 is a synchronous belt conveyor, which enables flexible contact between the material and the synchronous belt, thereby reducing bumps or wear generated during material conveying. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first conveying mechanism 33 may also adopt other structures, such as conveying rollers or chain conveying components.

[0080] In this embodiment, each conveying station 333d is provided with a pin guide 34, and the pin guide 34 is formed with a pin guide groove for guiding the material to be processed to prevent the plate from shifting during transportation, thereby ensuring the stability of the transported plate, and the pin guide 34 includes a guide portion 340 at the end away from the workbench 2, and the opening of the guide portion 340 at the end away from the workbench 2 is larger than the opening of the guide portion 340 at the end close to the workbench 2, so that the guide portion 340 is trumpet-shaped to facilitate guiding the pin. It can be understood that in other embodiments, both ends of the pin guide 34 may also include a guide portion 340.

[0081] In this embodiment, the multiple synchronous belt assemblies 333 of the first conveying mechanism 33 are driven by a motor 331, which saves costs and ensures the synchronous movement of the multiple synchronous belt assemblies 333. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the multiple synchronous belt assemblies 333 can also be driven by multiple motors 331.

The material transport mechanism 35 includes a drive assembly and a clamp assembly 352, and the drive assembly is connected to the clamp assembly 352. The drive assembly is used to drive the clamp assembly 352 to clamp the plate and move along the first direction, so that when the buffer box 32 is docked with the workbench 2, the clamp assembly 352 can transport the plate on the conveyor table 3 to the workbench 2 or pull the plate on the workbench 2 to the conveyor table 3.

The end of the scissor-type link assembly 351 is connected to a clamping jaw assembly 352. The driving mechanism 350 is used to drive the scissor-type link assembly 351 to extend and retract along a first direction, so that the scissor-type link assembly 351 switches between a contracted state and an expanded state, thereby enabling the clamping jaw assembly 352 to drive the plate to move along the first direction.

[0085] The number of the scissor-type link assemblies 351 is set to multiple groups and is arranged at intervals in the driving mechanism 350. The scissor-type link assemblies 351 include a first link 351a and a second link 351b that are mutually cross-rotatably connected, and the first link 351a is provided with a first driving end 351c and a first connecting end 351d, and the second link 351b is provided with a second driving end 351e and a second connecting end 351f, and the first driving end 351c and the second driving end 351e are respectively rotatably connected to the driving mechanism 350.

[0086] In this embodiment, two groups of scissor-type link assemblies 351 are provided, and the two groups of scissor-type link assemblies 351 simultaneously drive the clamping jaw assembly 352 to move, thereby enhancing the stability of the plate loading and unloading device when transporting the plate.
