[0049] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the steel strip feeding equipment in the embodiment of the present application includes a loading platform 1 and a material picking device 2, wherein: the loading platform 1 is configured to receive and carry a material frame 100 stacked with steel strips, and the material frame 100 is configured to store a plurality of steel strips, and the plurality of steel strips are stacked in the material frame 100 at intervals along the vertical direction.

[0051] The material picking device 2 includes a lifting mechanism 21 and a material picking mechanism 22, wherein the material picking mechanism 22 is connected to the movable part of the lifting mechanism 21 and is located above the loading platform 1, and the lifting mechanism 21 is configured to drive the material picking mechanism 22 to lift and lower, so as to drive the material picking mechanism 22 to pick up the steel strip from the material frame 100 located on the loading platform 1, and lift the steel strip to a predetermined height D.

[0052] In the steel strip feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the material taking device 22 takes out the steel strip in the material frame 100 on the loading platform 1, and lifts the taken out steel strip to a predetermined height D. In this way, the steel strip covering mechanism can take out the steel strip from the same height each time, thereby simplifying the moving stroke of the steel strip covering mechanism and improving production efficiency.

[0053] like Figures 2 to 3As shown, optionally, the material picking mechanism 22 includes a lifting beam 221, a holding drive, a first holding portion 222 and a second holding portion 223, wherein: the lifting beam 221 is connected to the movable part of the lifting mechanism 21. The first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 are slidably connected to the lifting beam 221, and are in driving connection with the holding drive provided on the lifting beam 221. The lifting mechanism 21 is configured to drive the lifting beam 221 to descend, so that the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 descend to the outside of the steel strip to be picked up. The holding drive is configured to drive the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 to slide close to the middle, so that the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 respectively hold two opposite sides of the steel strip to be picked up.

[0054] The specific process of the material picking mechanism 22 picking up the steel strip to be picked up at the top layer from the material frame 100 is as follows:

[0055] In the initial state, the material taking mechanism 22 is in a high position, and the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 are in a separated state, that is, the distance between the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 is greater than the distance between the two opposite sides of the steel strip.

[0056] The lifting mechanism 21 is driven to move the lifting beam 221 downward, so that the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 are moved downward to the outside of the steel strip to be picked up.

[0057] Subsequently, the holding driving member drives the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 to slide toward the middle, so that the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 respectively hold two opposite sides of the steel strip to be picked up.

[0058] Finally, the lifting mechanism 21 is driven to move the lifting beam 221 upward until the held steel strip rises to a predetermined height D.

[0059] The lifting mechanism 21 can adopt various existing linear drive modules that can drive the material taking mechanism 22 to rise and fall. Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 21 includes a mounting bracket 211, a synchronous belt 212 and a synchronous belt driving assembly 213, wherein: the synchronous belt driving assembly 231 is arranged on the mounting bracket 211, and the synchronous belt 212 is sleeved on the synchronous belt driving assembly 213 in the vertical direction. The material picking mechanism 22 is connected to the mounting bracket 211 in a lifting and sliding manner, and is fixedly connected to one side of the belt body of the synchronous belt 212. When the synchronous belt driving assembly 213 drives the synchronous belt 212 to rotate, the material picking mechanism 22 is driven to rise and fall.

[0060] Optionally, the holding driving member includes a first translation driving member 224 and a second translation driving member 225, wherein the driving end of the first translation driving member 224 is connected to the first holding portion 222, and the driving end of the second translation driving member 225 is connected to the second holding portion 223. The first translation driving member 224 and the second translation driving member 225 are configured to synchronously drive the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 to slide in opposite directions, so that the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 slide toward the middle to hold two opposite sides of the steel strip, or the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 slide away from each other to release the steel strip.

[0061] The first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 can hold and release the two opposite sides of the steel strip through the cooperative driving of the first translation driving member 224 and the second translation driving member 225. In addition, since the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 are driven by the first translation driving member 224 and the second translation driving member 225 respectively, the sliding strokes of the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 can be independently adjusted according to the position of the steel strip to be picked up, and finally ensure that the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 can synchronously contact the two opposite sides of the steel strip to be picked up, so as to hold the two opposite sides of the steel strip.

[0062] Optionally, the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 have the same structure. Taking the first holding portion 222 as an example, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, it includes a cantilever 226 and a holding block 227. The cantilever 226 is slidably connected to the lifting beam 221 and is perpendicular to the lifting beam 221. The cantilever 226 is in transmission connection with the holding drive member. The holding block 227 is installed on the cantilever 226, and at least one holding groove 228 is provided on the holding block 227. The holding groove 228 is used to support the side of the steel strip to be picked up.

[0063] When the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 move toward the steel strip to be picked up, one side edge of the steel strip to be picked up enters into the holding groove 228 of the holding block 227 of the first holding portion 222, and the other side edge of the steel strip to be picked up enters into the holding groove 228 of the holding block 227 of the second holding portion 223.

[0064] In this way, the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 support and hold the steel strip, thereby preventing the steel strip from being deformed by pressure, which would cause the steel strip covering mechanism to be unable to smoothly remove the steel strip from the first holding portion 222 and the second holding portion 223 .

[0065] Optionally, two holding grooves 228 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction on the holding block 227, and the spacing between the two holding grooves 228 is equal to the spacing between two adjacent steel strips stacked in the material frame 100. In this way, the material taking mechanism 2 can pick up two adjacent steel strips from the material frame 100 each time, thereby improving the feeding efficiency.

[0066] As shown in 1 , optionally, the steel strip feeding equipment in the embodiment of the present application further includes a transfer device 3 , which is configured to transfer a material frame 100 stacked with steel strips to the loading platform 1 , and to transfer an empty material frame on the loading platform 1 .

[0067] It can be seen that by providing the transfer device 3 , automatic loading of the material frame 100 stacked with steel strips and automatic unloading of the empty material frame 100 on the loading platform 1 are achieved.

[0068] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, optionally, at least one docking assembly 4 is provided at the bottom of the transfer device 3. The docking assembly 4 includes a baffle 41, a spring 42 and a roller 43. The baffle 41 is connected to the transfer device 3 in a sliding manner, the lower end of the spring 42 is connected to the baffle 41, and the upper end of the spring 42 is connected to the transfer device 3. The roller 43 is installed on the side of the baffle 41, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a pressing plate 5 corresponding to the roller 43 is also provided at the bottom of the loading platform 1 , and a guiding inclined surface 51 is provided at the end of the pressing plate 5 .

[0069] When the transfer device 3 is not docked with the loading platform 1 , that is, when the transfer device 3 is transferring the material frame 100 , the baffle 41 extends upward from the bearing surface of the transfer device 3 under the pressure of the spring 42 to block the material frame 100 on the transfer device 3 .

[0070] When the transfer device 3 is docked with the loading platform 1, the roller 43 slides to the bottom of the pressing plate 5 under the guidance of the guide slope 51. The baffle 41 is pushed down to a low position by the pressing plate 5, thereby removing the obstruction to the material frame 100. At the same time, the spring 42 is compressed and contracted.

[0071] When the transfer device 3 leaves the loading platform 1 , the roller 43 is separated from the pressure plate 5 , the spring 42 loses pressure, stretches and resets, thereby pushing the baffle 41 to extend out of the bearing surface of the transfer device 3 again.

[0072] It can be seen that by providing the docking assembly 4, when the transfer device 3 transfers the material frame 100, the docking assembly 4 can block the material frame 100, thereby preventing the material frame 100 from sliding off the transfer device 3. When the transfer device 3 is docked with the loading platform 1, the docking assembly 4 releases the blockage of the material frame 100, so that the material frame 100 can enter the loading platform 1 from the transfer device 3.

[0073] like Figure 2As shown, optionally, a guide seat 6 is provided at the bottom of the loading platform 1, and a guide groove 61 is provided in the guide seat 6. Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the transfer device 3 is provided with a guide wheel 7 matching the guide groove 61. When the transfer device 3 is docked with the loading platform 1, the guide wheel 7 enters the guide groove 61, thereby realizing docking guidance of the transfer device 3, ensuring that the transfer device 3 is aligned with the loading platform 1 when docking, so that the material frame 100 can smoothly enter the loading platform 1, and preventing the material frame 100 from tilting.

[0074] Optionally, the transfer device 3 is provided with a first roller group 8 for carrying and guiding the material frame 100. Under the guidance of the first roller group 8, the material frame 100 can be smoothly pushed from the transfer device 3 to the loading platform 1. Similarly, the loading platform 1 is also provided with a second roller group 9 for carrying and guiding the material frame 100. The material frame 100 stacked with steel strips separated from the transfer device 3 can be moved to the target position under the guidance of the second roller group 9, and the emptied material frame can be moved to the transfer device 3 under the guidance of the second roller group 9.

[0075] The present application is described in sufficient detail above with certain particularity. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the description in the embodiments is merely exemplary, and all changes made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present application should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
