Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum plate transportation, in particular to an automatic aluminum plate sorting and handling module. Background Art
[0002] Aluminum plate refers to aluminum materials with a thickness of more than 0.2mm and less than 500mm, a width of more than 200mm, and a length of less than 16m. Aluminum materials below 0.2mm and within 200mm width are called rows or strips. Of course, with the advancement of large equipment, there are more aluminum plates with a maximum width of 600mm. Aluminum plate refers to a rectangular plate made by rolling aluminum ingots, which can be divided into pure aluminum plate, alloy aluminum plate, thin aluminum plate, medium and thick aluminum plate, and patterned aluminum plate.
[0003] After the existing aluminum plates are produced, many of them are sorted and transported by manpower. The efficiency of the entire sorting and transporting process is very poor, and the labor cost is also high. In the process of transportation, accidental injuries may also occur due to human errors. Therefore, an efficient, accurate and stable automated aluminum plate sorting and transporting module is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to solve the shortcomings in the prior art and proposes an automatic aluminum plate sorting and handling module.

[0006] Preferably, a through board layer is installed on the top of the transport vehicle body, slide rails are provided on both sides of the top of the through board layer, electromagnetic controllers are installed at both ends of the slide rails, and a plate is placed in the middle of the top of the through board layer.
[0007] Preferably, sliding plates are slidably connected to both sides of the outside of the slide rail, lifting cylinder parts are installed on both sides of the top of the sliding plate, a top plate is installed on the top of the lifting cylinder part, and a rear plate is welded to the middle of the top of the top plate.
[0008] Preferably, a cylinder control end is installed on the front of the rear plate, both sides of the front of the cylinder control end are connected to stretching cylinder parts, and an upper clamp is installed on the bottom end of the stretching cylinder part.
[0009] Preferably, a lower clamp is installed at the bottom of the upper clamp, and a middle connecting spring is connected between the upper clamp and the lower clamp.
[0010] Preferably, an oblique push piece is installed on the front side of the lower clamping piece, and anti-slip particles are provided on the top of the oblique push piece.
[0011] Preferably, a height detector is installed on one side of the front side of the rear plate, and a distance detector is installed on the other side of the front side of the rear plate.
[0012] Beneficial Effects
[0013] In the utility model, in this equipment, the plate is directly placed in the middle of the transport vehicle body after processing. The transport vehicle body will be equipped with multiple placement tables. After the plate is placed, the identification probe will identify the plate, identify the type of the plate, and then classify it through the identification end. The identification end is a small computer, which will decide on which placement table to place the plate according to the identification result. The content of the aluminum plate identified here may include size, shape, color and other features. After classification, the identification end will transmit the position information of the relative placement table to the transmission system of the vehicle body drive wheel. After receiving the position information of the placement table, the transmission system will control the drive wheel to move the entire vehicle body to the position of the placement table.
[0014] In the utility model, the height detector on the rear plate detects the height of the plate, and the distance detector is an infrared distance sensor, which detects the distance between the rear plate and the plate. After detecting the distance difference, the distance difference is transmitted to the electromagnetic controller at the corresponding end through the internal MCU, and then the electromagnetic controller starts to use electromagnetic pushing to control the entire rear plate to move toward the position of the plate. The driving methods on both sides are the same. Then the inclined push piece on the front of the lower clamp is inserted between the plate and the bottom surface, so that the edge of the plate is slightly tilted. After that, the height detector detects the height of the plate and transmits it to the cylinder control end through the built-in MCU. The cylinder control end is used to control the extension and retraction of the stretching cylinder part at the bottom. When the height of the plate is received, the stretching cylinder part is controlled to drive the upper clamp to press down. The stretching cylinder part here is a complete cylinder assembly, which will not be described in detail here. The upper clamp will be pressed down to the position where it fits with the top of the plate and stops, so that the plate can be clamped. The clamp formed always keeps the clamping mouth at the maximum in the initial state, and the anti-slip particles on the top of the inclined push piece can play an anti-slip role during clamping.
[0015] In the utility model, the whole equipment constitutes a complete system module, which integrates the system of advanced technology and intelligent equipment, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of sorting and handling of aluminum plates. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Based on the embodiments in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0024] The specific embodiments of the present utility model are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Specific embodiment one:

Position sensors 5 are installed in the middle of the front of the handling vehicle 1 and the placement table 4. Driving wheels 2 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the handling vehicle 1. A side frame 3 is welded on the back of the handling vehicle 1. A push block 25 is installed on the front of the side frame 3. An identification end 23 is installed on the top of the push block 25. The front of the identification end 23 is electrically connected to an identification probe 24. The back of the push block 25 is connected to an electric push rod 26.
[0027] In this device, the plate 6 is directly placed in the middle of the transport vehicle body 1 after processing. The transport vehicle body 1 will be equipped with multiple placement tables 4. After the plate 6 is placed, the identification probe 24 will identify the plate 6, identify the type of the plate 6, and then classify it through the identification terminal 23. The identification terminal 23 is a small computer, which will decide on which placement table 4 to place the plate 6 according to the identification result. The content of identifying the aluminum plate here may include size, shape, color and other characteristics. After classification, the identification terminal 23 will transmit the position information of the relative placement table 4 to the transmission system of the vehicle body drive wheel 2. After receiving the position information of the placement table 4, the transmission system will control the driving wheel 2 to move the entire vehicle body to the position of the placement table 4. The position sensors 5 on the front of the transport vehicle body 1 and the placement table 4 are relative. The position sensor 5 here is an inductive proximity sensor. The transport vehicle body 1 will come to the front position of the placement table 4 according to the setting. When the two are close, the inductive proximity sensor will sense it and then feed back to the transmission system of the vehicle body 1. Then the transmission system will control the vehicle body to stop moving. When the transport vehicle body 1 comes to the front position of the placement table 4, the plate 6 can be placed. Specific embodiment 2:
[0029] Reference Figure 1-5 A through-plate layer 7 is installed on the top of the transport vehicle body 1, and slide rails 11 are provided on both sides of the top of the through-plate layer 7. Electromagnetic controllers 8 are installed at both ends of the slide rails 11. A plate 6 is placed in the middle of the top of the through-plate layer 7. Sliding plates 10 are slidably connected on both sides of the outside of the slide rails 11. Lifting cylinder parts 20 are installed on both sides of the top of the sliding plate 10. A top plate 21 is installed on the top of the lifting cylinder part 20. A rear plate 9 is welded in the middle of the top of the top plate 21. The front of the rear plate 9 is equipped with a cylinder control terminal. 12, both sides of the front of the cylinder control end 12 are connected with stretching cylinder parts 13, the bottom end of the stretching cylinder part 13 is installed with an upper clamping piece 16, the bottom of the upper clamping piece 16 is installed with a lower clamping piece 18, a middle connecting spring 17 is connected between the upper clamping piece 16 and the lower clamping piece 18, an oblique push piece 19 is installed on the front of the lower clamping piece 18, and the top of the oblique push piece 19 is provided with anti-skid particles 22, a height detector 14 is installed on one side of the front of the rear plate 9, and a distance detector 15 is installed on the other side of the front of the rear plate 9.
[0030] When the plate 6 is placed, it will be automatically clamped by the clamp. In this device, the clamp is composed of an upper clamp 15 and a lower clamp 18. The upper clamp 15 is arc-shaped, and the lower clamp 18 is installed on the back plate 9. When adjusting, the upper clamp 15 is mainly adjusted. The clamp formed can clamp multiple layers of superimposed plates 6 at the same time.
[0031] The height detector 14 on the rear plate 9 detects the height of the plate 6. The distance detector 15 is an infrared distance sensor, which detects the distance between the rear plate 9 and the plate 6. After detecting the distance difference, the distance difference is transmitted to the electromagnetic controller 8 at the corresponding end through the internal MCU. Then the electromagnetic controller 8 starts to use electromagnetic propulsion to control the entire rear plate 9 to move toward the position of the plate 6. The driving methods on both sides are the same. Then the oblique push piece 19 on the front of the lower clamp 18 is inserted between the plate 6 and the bottom surface, so that the edge of the plate 6 is slightly tilted. Then the height detector 14 detects the plate 6. After the height of the plate 6 is determined, it will be transmitted to the cylinder control end 12 through the built-in MCU. The cylinder control end 12 is used to control the extension and retraction of the stretching cylinder part 13 at the bottom. When the height of the plate 6 is received, the stretching cylinder part 13 will be controlled to drive the upper clamping piece 16 to be pressed down. The stretching cylinder part 13 here is a complete cylinder assembly, which will not be described in detail here. The upper clamping piece 16 will be pressed down to the position where it fits the top of the plate 6 and stops, so that the plate 6 can be clamped. The constructed clamp always maintains the largest clamping gap in the initial state, and the anti-slip particles 22 on the top of the inclined push piece 19 can play an anti-slip role during clamping.
[0032] When the plate 6 is clamped, the transport vehicle body 1 will move to the position where it fits in front of the placement table 4. When it reaches the specified position, the position sensor will transmit signals to the cylinder control end 12 and the control end of the electric push rod 26 through the MCU, and then the cylinder control end 12 will indirectly control the upper clamp 16 to loosen a little. At this time, the control end of the electric push rod will control the electric push rod to extend forward, and the front push block 25 will also extend forward until the push block 25 pushes the clamped plate 6 onto the placement table 4. In order to prevent the plate 6 from slipping, a baffle can be installed on the back of the placement table 4, and the plate unloading is completed.
[0033] At the same time, since there may be multiple plates 6 stacked on the placement table 4, the height detector 14 will also detect the plates 6 on the placement table 4. After detecting the height data, it will feedback to the control end of the lifting cylinder 20. The lifting cylinder 20 is a complete cylinder lifting component. After receiving the height data, the control end of the lifting cylinder 20 will control the top of the lifting cylinder 20 to lift up, so as to lift up the entire clamping device, which is convenient for corresponding to the height of the stacked plates 6 on the placement table 4.
[0034] It should be noted that all lifting and telescopic components in this device refer to an integral component. Since they are all existing equipment, they will not be described in detail here.
[0035] In summary:
[0036] 1. In this device, the plate 6 is directly placed in the middle of the transport vehicle 1 after processing. The transport vehicle 1 will be equipped with multiple placement tables 4. After the plate 6 is placed, the identification probe 24 will identify the plate 6, identify the type of the plate 6, and then classify it through the identification terminal 23. The identification terminal 23 is a small computer, which will decide on which placement table 4 to place the plate 6 according to the identification result. The content of identifying the aluminum plate here can include size, shape, color and other characteristics. After classification, the identification terminal 23 will transmit the relative position of the placement table 4 to the transmission system of the vehicle body drive wheel 2 After receiving the position information of the placement table 4, the transmission system will control the driving wheel 2 to move the entire vehicle body to the position of the placement table 4. The position sensors 5 on the front of the transport vehicle body 1 and the placement table 4 are relative. The position sensor 5 here is an inductive proximity sensor. The transport vehicle body 1 will come to the front position of the placement table 4 according to the setting. When the two are close, the inductive proximity sensor will sense it and then feed back to the transmission system of the vehicle body 1. Then the transmission system will control the vehicle body to stop moving. When the transport vehicle body 1 comes to the front position of the placement table 4, the plate 6 can be placed.
[0037] 2. The height detector 14 on the rear plate 9 detects the height of the plate 6. The distance detector 15 is an infrared distance sensor, which detects the distance between the rear plate 9 and the plate 6. After detecting the distance difference, the distance difference is transmitted to the electromagnetic controller 8 at the corresponding end through the internal MCU. Then the electromagnetic controller 8 starts to use electromagnetic propulsion to control the entire rear plate 9 to move toward the position of the plate 6. The driving methods on both sides are the same. Then the oblique push piece 19 on the front of the lower clamp 18 is inserted between the plate 6 and the bottom surface, so that the edge of the plate 6 is slightly tilted. Then the height detector 14 detects the plate 6, it will be transmitted to the cylinder control end 12 through the built-in MCU. The cylinder control end 12 is used to control the extension and retraction of the stretching cylinder part 13 at the bottom. When the height of the plate 6 is received, the stretching cylinder part 13 will be controlled to drive the upper clamping piece 16 to be pressed down. The stretching cylinder part 13 here is a complete cylinder assembly, which will not be described in detail here. The upper clamping piece 16 will be pressed down to the position where it fits with the top of the plate 6, so that the plate 6 can be clamped. The constructed clamp always keeps the clamping mouth at the maximum in the initial state, and the anti-slip particles 22 on the top of the inclined push piece 19 can play an anti-slip role during clamping.
[0038] When the plate 6 is clamped, the transport vehicle body 1 will move to the position where it fits in front of the placement table 4. When it reaches the specified position, the position sensor will transmit signals to the cylinder control end 12 and the control end of the electric push rod 26 through the MCU, and then the cylinder control end 12 will indirectly control the upper clamp 16 to loosen a little. At this time, the control end of the electric push rod will control the electric push rod to extend forward, and the front push block 25 will also extend forward until the push block 25 pushes the clamped plate 6 onto the placement table 4. In order to prevent the plate 6 from slipping, a baffle can be installed on the back of the placement table 4, and the plate unloading is completed.
[0039] At the same time, since there may be multiple plates 6 stacked on the placement table 4, the height detector 14 will also detect the plates 6 on the placement table 4. After detecting the height data, it will feedback to the control end of the lifting cylinder 20. The lifting cylinder 20 is a complete cylinder lifting component. After receiving the height data, the control end of the lifting cylinder 20 will control the top of the lifting cylinder 20 to lift up, so as to lift up the entire clamping device, which is convenient for corresponding to the height of the stacked plates 6 on the placement table 4.
