Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of profile transportation, and particularly relates to a profile counting and transporting device. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of photovoltaic aluminum frames, the sawing, counting, and transmission of profiles are key links in one process. Traditional transportation methods mostly use manual forklifts or simple mechanical forward transportation. This method not only has low efficiency but also easily causes damage to profiles during transportation due to large contact areas and sliding friction caused by upward jitter. With the development of automation technology, highly integrated automated production lines have become the mainstream, including the application of advanced technologies such as intelligent identification, automatic counting, and precise positioning transportation, which improve production efficiency and accuracy. For example, dedicated conveyor belt systems, suspended transportation systems, robot handling systems, etc. However, these different transportation methods all have some potential drawbacks. The dedicated conveyor belt system has a high degree of customization and is difficult to apply to profiles of different specifications and models. The conveyor belt needs to be modified to meet the usage requirements; the suspended transportation system has poor flexibility and usually relies on fixed tracks and paths. When the production layout changes, the entire system may need to be reinstalled or redesigned; the investment cost of the robot handling system is relatively high. Therefore, a transportation device with small friction, simple structure, and convenient installation is needed. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model discloses a profile counting and transporting device, which includes a conveying platform, a swinging component, and a counting and blocking component. The conveying platform transports profiles, the swinging component drives the secondary conveying platform to swing for picking up profiles, and the counting and blocking component records the number of profiles. The device reduces the contact area between the profiles and the conveyor belt and reduces the risk of damage to the profiles during transportation.

[0004] Specifically, the utility model discloses a profile counting and transporting device, which comprises:

[0005] A conveying platform, which includes a primary conveying platform, a secondary conveying platform, and a tertiary conveying platform arranged in sequence. The secondary conveying platform has overlapping parts with both the primary conveying platform and the tertiary conveying platform. A swinging component is provided below the secondary conveying platform, and the swinging component is connected to the secondary conveying platform to drive the secondary conveying platform to swing up and down;

[0006] A counting and blocking component, which is arranged between the secondary conveying platform and the tertiary conveying platform.

[0007] After the profile passes through the straightening and cutting process, it enters the first-level conveyor platform. Then, under the action of the second-level conveyor platform and the counting and blocking component, the profiles enter the third-level conveyor platform one by one. At the same time, the counter records the number of profiles. When it is detected that the number of profiles has not reached the preset number, the baffle 22 will automatically drop, allowing the profiles to continue to be conveyed from the second-level conveyor platform to the third-level conveyor platform. Once the set number is reached, the third-level conveyor platform will transport the profiles to the storage platform for storage until they are sent to the anodic oxidation treatment area. The device realizes seamless connection and precise displacement of the profiles at each stage, greatly improving the production efficiency and the degree of automation of profile transfer, and reducing the friction damage during transportation.

[0008] Further, both the first-level conveyor platform and the third-level conveyor platform include conveyor belts, and the conveyor belts are controlled by servo motors.

[0009] Further, the second-level conveyor platform includes a number of irregular belt racks and a platform frame. The irregular belt racks are swing-connected to the platform frame, and the irregular belt racks are connected by support shafts.

[0010] Further, the swing component includes a swing shaft and a swing rod. The swing shaft has a protruding part, and the swing shaft is connected to the platform frame through a bearing seat. One end of the swing rod is rotatably connected to the protruding part, and the other end is rotatably connected to the irregular belt rack.

[0011] Further, the counting and blocking component includes a blocking cylinder, a baffle, and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the platform frame. The blocking cylinder is installed on the upper surface of the mounting bracket, and the baffle is installed on the movable part of the blocking cylinder.

[0012] Further, the counting and blocking component further includes a counter, and the counter is arranged on one side of the baffle.

[0013] Further, the counting and blocking component further includes a sensor. The sensor is arranged between the second-level conveyor platform and the third-level conveyor platform and is located on both sides of the second-level conveyor platform.

[0014] Further, the profile counting and transporting device further includes a storage platform, and the storage platform is arranged on one side of the third-level conveyor platform. Description of the Drawings

[0024] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0025] As Figure 1-6 shown, the present utility model discloses a profile counting and transporting device, including:

[0026] Transfer platform 1, the transfer platform 1 includes a primary transfer platform 11, a secondary transfer platform 12 and a tertiary transfer platform 13 arranged in sequence. The secondary transfer platform 12 has overlapping parts with both the primary transfer platform 11 and the tertiary transfer platform 13. A swinging assembly 3 is provided below the secondary transfer platform 12. The swinging assembly 3 is connected to the secondary transfer platform 12 and drives the secondary transfer platform 12 to swing;

[0027] Counting and blocking assembly 2, the counting and blocking assembly 2 is arranged between the secondary transfer platform 12 and the tertiary transfer platform 13.

[0028] After the profile passes through the straightening and cutting process, it enters the first-level conveyor platform 11. Then, under the action of the second-level conveyor platform 12 and the counting and blocking component 2, the profiles enter the third-level conveyor platform 13 one by one. At the same time, the counter records the number of profiles. When it is detected that the number of profiles has not reached the preset number, the baffle 22 will automatically drop, allowing the profiles to continue to be conveyed from the second-level conveyor platform 12 to the third-level conveyor platform 13. Once the set number is reached, the third-level conveyor platform 13 will transport the profiles to the storage platform 4 for storage until they are sent to the anodic oxidation treatment area. The device realizes the seamless connection and precise displacement of the profiles at each stage, greatly improving the production efficiency and the degree of automation of profile transfer, and reducing the frictional damage during transportation.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present utility model, both the first-level conveyor platform 11 and the third-level conveyor platform 13 include conveyor belts, and the conveyor belts are controlled by servo motors. The servo motors have high motion accuracy, which improves the conveying accuracy.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the second-level conveyor platform 12 includes a number of irregular belt racks 121 and a platform rack 122. There are belts on the irregular belt racks 121, and the irregular belt racks 121 are swing-connected to the platform rack 122 and connected by a support shaft 123. In this embodiment, the irregular belt rack 121 has an overlapping part with the first-level conveyor platform 11, and the irregular belt rack 121 has a left inclined surface 1211 and a right flat surface 1212. The profiles on the first-level conveyor platform 11 are conveyed to the right flat surface 1212 of the irregular belt rack 121. The irregular belt rack 121 drives the belt to rotate, enabling one profile to enter the second-level conveyor platform 12. When the profile completely enters the second-level conveyor platform 12 after leaving the first-level conveyor platform 11, the swing component 3 causes the irregular belt rack 121 to swing around the support shaft 123, controlling the left inclined surface 1211 to swing upward so that the left inclined surface 1211 is parallel to the third-level conveyor platform 13. The belt rotates to move the profile to the left inclined surface 1211 and then stops rotating. Then the swing component 3 causes the right flat surface 1212 to swing upward to pick up the next profile, enabling the next profile to completely enter the second-level conveyor platform 12 after leaving the first-level conveyor platform 11. At this time, there are two profiles on the irregular belt rack 121. Then the swing component 3 makes the left inclined surface 1211 parallel to the third-level conveyor platform 13, moves the profile on the left inclined surface 1211 to the counting and blocking component 2 for counting. Then the left inclined surface 1211 swings downward, and the baffle 22 drops, allowing the profile to enter the third-level conveyor platform 13. At the same time, the next profile is picked up. At this time, the profile on the right flat surface 1212 moves to the left inclined surface 1211, and a new profile is picked up on the right flat surface 1212, and so on.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the swing assembly 3 includes a swing shaft 31 and a swing rod 33. The swing shaft 31 has a protruding portion 32, and the swing shaft 31 is connected to the bench 122 through a bearing seat 34. One end of the swing rod 33 is rotatably connected to the protruding portion 32, and the other end is rotatably connected to the irregular belt rack 121. The swing shaft 31 is controlled by a swing motor. When the swing shaft 31 rotates, the protruding portion 32 drives the swing rod 33 to swing, so that the irregular belt rack 121 rotates around the support shaft 123.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the counting and blocking assembly 2 includes a blocking cylinder 21, a baffle 22, and a mounting bracket 23. The mounting bracket 23 is fixedly connected to the bench 122. The blocking cylinder 21 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting bracket 23, and the baffle 22 is installed on the movable part of the blocking cylinder 21. The blocking cylinder 21 drives the baffle 22 to move up and down, so that the profile is conveyed from the secondary conveying platform 12 to the tertiary conveying platform 13.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the counting and blocking assembly 2 further includes a counter, which is arranged on one side of the baffle 22. The counter records the number of profiles. When the number of profiles does not reach the preset number, the baffle 22 will automatically fall, allowing the profiles to continue to be conveyed from the secondary conveying platform 12 to the tertiary conveying platform 13. Once the set number is reached, the tertiary conveying platform 13 will transport the profiles to the storage platform 4 for storage.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the counting and blocking assembly 2 further includes sensors 24, which are arranged between the secondary conveying platform 12 and the tertiary conveying platform 13 and on both sides of the secondary conveying platform 12. The two sensors 24 are used to detect whether the profiles are in place. When both sensors 24 detect the profiles, the number recorded by the counter is incremented by one, improving the smoothness of the movement of the profiles and the accuracy of counting.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the profile counting and transporting device further includes a storage platform 4, which is arranged on one side of the tertiary conveying platform 13, and a blocking part is installed at the end of the storage platform 4. When profiles are needed in the subsequent process, the blocking part drops, and the profiles continue to be transported backward.

[0036] For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the creative concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
