[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a high-efficiency dual-module feeding mechanism for laser cutting, comprising: a mounting bracket 1 and two feeding and handling modules, and the two feeding and handling modules are both mounted on the mounting bracket 1.

[0024] Among them, the two loading and handling modules each include a transverse driving module 2, a longitudinal driving module 3 and a material picking and placing mechanism. The transverse driving modules 2 of the two loading and handling modules are fixed on the mounting bracket 1 in the horizontal direction, and the two transverse driving modules 2 are arranged back to back to each other.

[0025] For example, the lateral drive module 2 can be any one of a ball screw linear module, a synchronous pulley linear module, an electric cylinder and a linear motor module. In this embodiment, a ball screw linear module is preferred. The lateral drive module 2 is used to drive the longitudinal drive module 3 and the material picking and unloading mechanism to reciprocate horizontally in the lateral direction.

[0026] Furthermore, the longitudinal drive modules 3 of the two loading and handling modules are installed on their respective transverse drive modules 2 in the vertical direction, and the material picking and unloading mechanism is installed on the longitudinal drive module 3. The longitudinal drive module 3 is used to drive the material picking and unloading mechanism to reciprocate up and down in the longitudinal direction.

[0027] Exemplarily, the longitudinal drive module 3 may adopt any one of a ball screw linear module, a synchronous pulley linear module, an electric cylinder and a linear motor module. In this embodiment, the electric cylinder is preferred.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the material taking and placing mechanism can be specifically regarded as being suspended below the transverse driving module 2 through the longitudinal driving module 3. The transverse driving module 2 and the longitudinal driving module 3 are used to jointly drive the material taking and placing mechanism to perform two-dimensional movement in the transverse and longitudinal directions.

[0029] Among them, both the two material picking and placing mechanisms include a rotating disk 4, a rotating drive module and an adsorption component for adsorbing workpieces. The adsorption component is installed at the bottom of the rotating disk 4, and the rotating drive module is used to drive the rotating disk 4 and the workpiece adsorbed by the adsorption component to rotate.

[0030] The utility model sets two loading and handling modules, and the two loading and handling modules work independently without affecting each other. The workpiece is adsorbed by the material picking and placing mechanism, and the transverse drive module 2 and the longitudinal drive module 3 jointly drive the material picking and placing mechanism to move, so as to realize efficient, stable and safe material loading operation, will not affect the production progress, and can improve the overall performance and production efficiency of the laser cutting equipment; at the same time, the utility model does not have high requirements on the placement direction of the incoming materials. When the direction in which the adsorption part adsorbs the workpiece is not the direction required for feeding, the rotary drive module is used to drive the rotating disk 4 and the workpiece adsorbed by the adsorption part to rotate, so as to correct the direction of the workpiece and meet the feeding requirements, thereby reducing the process of manually adjusting the direction of the workpiece and reducing labor input.

[0031] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The two material picking and placing mechanisms and the two longitudinal drive modules 3 are correspondingly connected with a suspension arm 5 distributed in the vertical direction. The longitudinal drive module 3 drives the suspension arm 5 to drive the material picking and placing mechanism to reciprocate up and down in the longitudinal direction, that is, the vertical direction.

[0032] A fixing plate 6 is fixed to the bottom of the two suspension arms 5 , and the two fixing plates 6 extend horizontally toward each other. The two rotating disks 4 are rotatably mounted on one end of the two fixing plates 6 close to each other.

[0033] Furthermore, when not in operation, the two rotating disks 4 are on the same horizontal line, and when in operation, the two rotating disks 4 can be driven by their respective longitudinal drive modules 3 to be at different heights. That is to say, from the perspective of the top view, the movement trajectories of the two rotating disks 4 driven by their respective transverse drive modules 2 overlap, so that the two rotating disks 4 can pick up materials at the same material-picking station and discharge materials at the same loading station, realizing single-station dual-module loading; at the same time, the two rotating disks 4 are driven by their respective longitudinal drive modules 3 to be at different heights, so that when the two rotating disks 4 are driven by their respective transverse drive modules 2 to move laterally, the two do not interfere with each other and work independently, realizing efficient and orderly dual-module loading.

[0034] See also Figure 3 The rotation drive module includes a motor 7 and a transmission mechanism. The motor 7 is a reduction motor fixed to one side of the boom 5. The transmission mechanism is connected between the motor 7 and the rotating disk 4. The motor 7 drives the rotating disk 4 to rotate through the transmission mechanism.

[0035] Specifically, the transmission mechanism includes a synchronous belt 8 and two synchronous wheels 9 , wherein one synchronous wheel 9 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 7 , and the other synchronous wheel 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 4 via a rotating shaft, and the synchronous belt 8 is wound around the two synchronous wheels 9 .

[0036] In addition, the transmission mechanism also includes a tensioning wheel 10 and a tensioning plate 11 for adjusting the tightness of the synchronous belt 8. Figure 4 As shown, one end of the tensioning plate 11 is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 6 through a pin shaft, and the tensioning wheel 10 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the tensioning plate 11 and presses the synchronous belt 8. Among them, a locking hole 1101 is provided on the tensioning plate 11, and an arc hole 601 opposite to the locking hole 1101 is provided on the fixed plate 6, and when the tensioning plate 11 rotates around the pin shaft at one end thereof, the locking hole 1101 can always be directly above the arc hole 601; fasteners, such as bolts, are installed in the locking hole 1101 and the arc hole 601, and the tensioning plate 11 is rotated to adjust the tensioning wheel 10 to press the synchronous belt 8 to a suitable degree, and then the bolts are tightened to lock the tensioning plate 11 on the fixed plate 6.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rotating disk 4 is provided with four extension arms 401 distributed in a cross shape, and adsorption components are installed at the bottom of the outer ends of the four extension arms 401 .

[0038] Exemplarily, the adsorbent is a suction cup 12, and air paths are provided inside the four extension arms 401, and the suction cup 12 is connected to the air paths. An air path connector is also provided on the rotating disk 4, and the air path connector is connected to an external vacuum pumping device to evacuate the air path in the extension arm 401, thereby generating negative pressure, so that the suction cup 12 can adsorb the workpiece.

[0039] In other embodiments of the present invention, if the workpiece is a magnetic conductive part, the adsorption part may also be an electromagnet.

[0040] It can be seen that the utility model has a high-efficiency dual-module feeding mechanism for laser cutting by setting up two feeding and handling modules. The two feeding and handling modules work independently without affecting each other. The workpiece is adsorbed by the material picking and unloading mechanism, and the transverse drive module 2 and the longitudinal drive module 3 jointly drive the material picking and unloading mechanism to move, thereby realizing efficient, stable and safe feeding operation, which will not affect the production progress and can improve the overall performance and production efficiency of the laser cutting equipment. At the same time, the utility model has low requirements on the direction of incoming material placement. When the direction in which the adsorption part adsorbs the workpiece is not the direction required for feeding, the rotary drive module is used to drive the rotating disk 4 and the workpiece adsorbed by the adsorption part to rotate, so as to correct the direction of the workpiece and meet the feeding requirements, thereby reducing the process of manually adjusting the direction of the workpiece and reducing labor input.
