Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of machining, in particular to a double-platform exchange material taking flap conveyor line. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the economy, the requirements for automated production lines are getting higher and higher, and the use of sheet metal is increasing. Sheet metal products after cutting often need to be turned over and bent. The existing sheet metal turning usually adopts a single station, and the production cycle of a single product is long. It is often the case that the material is waiting for turning, and the time is not fully utilized, which affects the overall production cycle. The entire production line will stagnate or slow down, which will limit the speed and efficiency of production.

[0003] Normally, sheet metal flipping is done by manual picking, moving, and placing repeatedly. The operation process cannot guarantee the production rhythm, and the speed can only be guaranteed by the proficiency of the workers.

[0004] In order to save time, various auxiliary fixtures and semi-automatic equipment have emerged, but this type of equipment only improves a certain part of the production. The production rhythm of large-scale production products cannot be improved, and the production efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims at the technical problems existing in the prior art and provides a double-platform exchange material taking flap conveyor line to solve the problem of low efficiency in the production and processing of sheet materials.

[0007] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0008] Furthermore, the first horizontal moving mechanism includes a first moving platform and two groups of first linear guide rails connected to the first moving platform.

[0009] Furthermore, the second horizontal moving mechanism includes a second moving platform and two sets of second linear guide rails connected to the second moving platform.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a guide plate, a lifting platform and a support seat; the guide plate is arranged between two sets of second linear guide rails, and a slide groove is provided on the surface of the guide plate along the moving direction of the second transfer platform; the lifting platform is located above the second moving platform, and a plurality of guide rods slidingly matched with the second moving platform are installed on the lifting platform; the support seat is connected to the lifting platform and passes through the second moving platform and extends to the slide groove side of the guide plate; a pulley matching with the slide groove is installed on the support seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the sheet material flipping mechanism includes a flipping frame and an electrically driven rotating driving member connected to the flipping frame; the flipping frame is provided with a plurality of suction cups evenly distributed and used for adsorbing the sheet material.

[0012] Moreover, the double-platform exchange material-taking flap conveyor line provided by the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0013] 1. It can realize automatic positioning, feeding and turning of sheet materials in the production process. Subsequent processes can directly use the turned sheets, which is highly orderly.

[0014] 2. Two groups of sheet materials can be transferred simultaneously by the first transfer platform and the second transfer platform. The height of the second transfer platform is adjusted by the lifting component so that the height direction of the second transfer platform is staggered with that of the first transfer platform, ensuring that the sheet materials on the first transfer platform are transferred to the loading position by the second transfer platform during the process of flipping the plate and being taken, thereby reducing the hysteresis and waiting time of the production line, improving the rhythm of sheet material production, and increasing the production speed.

[0025] In this embodiment, the multi-axis robot arm 1 controls the sheet material gripper 3 to grasp the sheet material, adjust the position and posture of the sheet material, and accurately place it on the first transfer platform 4. The first horizontal moving mechanism 6 drives the first transfer platform 4 to transport the sheet material along the loading position of the material platform 2 to the unloading position, and then the sheet material is flipped by the sheet material flipping mechanism 9, and the subsequent process can directly use the flipped sheet material.

[0026] As a supplement, during the transfer of the first transfer platform 4, the second transfer platform 5 is moved relative to the first transfer platform 4 under the drive of the second horizontal moving mechanism 7, and the height of the second transfer platform 5 is adjusted by the lifting component 8, so that the second transfer platform 5 is staggered in height direction with the first transfer platform 4, ensuring that the second transfer platform 5 is transferred to the loading position during the process of the sheet material on the first transfer platform 4 being turned over and taken away, and the multi-axis robot arm 1 can control the sheet material gripper 3 to grab the new sheet material and place it on the second transfer platform 5, ensuring the loading rhythm, reducing the hysteresis and waiting time of the production line, and improving production efficiency.

[0027] As an implementation method, two groups of material platforms 2 can be arranged adjacent to each other to ensure that one group of multi-axis robotic arms 1 can notify and meet the material loading needs of two groups of multi-axis robotic arms 1, thereby further improving efficiency.

[0028] As an implementation manner, the first horizontal moving mechanism 6 includes a first moving platform 6.1 and two groups of first linear guide rails 6.2 connected to the first moving platform 6.1.

[0029] In addition, the second horizontal moving mechanism 7 includes a second moving platform 7.1 and two sets of second linear guide rails 7.2 connected to the second moving platform 7.1.

[0031] As an embodiment, the lifting assembly 8 includes a guide plate 8.1, a lifting platform 8.2 and a support seat 8.3; the guide plate 8.1 is arranged between two sets of second linear guide rails 7.2, and a slide groove 8.11 is opened on the surface of the guide plate 8.1 along the transfer direction of the second transfer platform 5, and the height of the slide groove 8.11 decreases toward the middle along both ends; the lifting platform 8.2 is located above the second moving platform 7.1, and a plurality of guide rods 8.4 that slide with the second moving platform 7.1 are installed on the lifting platform 8.2; the support seat 8.3 is connected to the lifting platform 8.2 and passes through the second moving platform 7.1 and extends to the slide groove 8.11 side of the guide plate 8.1; the support seat 8.3 is equipped with a pulley 8.5 that cooperates with the slide groove 8.11. When the second transfer platform 5 moves, it will drive the lifting platform 8.2 to move horizontally synchronously, and under the restriction of the lifting platform 8.2, it will slide along the slide groove 8.11 to drive the support seat 8.3 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting platform 8.2 to ensure that the first transfer platform 4 and the second transfer platform 5 can avoid each other in the height direction.

[0032] As an embodiment, the sheet material flipping mechanism 9 includes a flipping frame 9.1 and an electric drive rotary driver 9.2 connected to the flipping frame 9.1; the flipping frame 9.1 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed suction cups 9.3 for adsorbing the sheet material. Flipping frame 9.1: The flipping frame is the core part of the sheet material flipping mechanism, which is used to support and flip the sheet material. The design of the flipping frame needs to be stable enough to withstand the force and torque during the flipping process; Electric drive rotary driver 9.2: The electric drive rotary driver is connected to the flipping frame to provide rotational power for the flipping frame. By controlling the rotation speed and direction of the electric drive rotary driver, the flipping action of the flipping frame can be precisely controlled; Suction cup 9.3: A plurality of evenly distributed suction cups are provided on the flipping frame for adsorbing the sheet material. The suction cup generates sufficient adsorption force to ensure that the sheet material does not slip or move during the flipping process.
