Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sheet conveying equipment, and specifically relates to a lateral conveying and alignment device for large sheets. Background Technique

[0002] Since the metal sheets are in a whole pallet state and weigh more than two tons, a forklift is needed to fork them to the fixed working position of the device during loading. During the forking process, the rack and track parts of the conveying device cannot be touched. The existing racks are basically square structures or ultra-high racks, which have high requirements for the site and large floor areas, leaving very little safe space for the forklift to load, and multiple forking operations are required to properly place them at the fixed working position. There are problems such as the device being too large and inconvenient to operate.

[0003] Existing conveying devices mostly have a single-station strip layout, with the disadvantages of too long conveying lines, low efficiency, and being too large to occupy the production area and inconvenient for layout. The materials of conventional conveying devices are relatively light and small-sized, and the transfer operation is relatively easy. However, for sheets, especially large-sized sheets, the transfer weight specifications, length, width, and thickness specifications are all different, and different specifications need to be switched for use. Conventional conveying devices cannot be effectively used and have low production efficiency.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a lateral conveying and alignment device for large sheets to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The conveying wheel assembly 10 includes a plurality of groups of conveying rollers 16 for rotating conveying, the alignment mechanism includes an alignment conveying chain 18 arranged at the gap between adjacent conveying rollers 16, and the plurality of alignment conveying chains 18 are integrally rotatably mounted on an alignment lifting frame 17, and the conveying frame 1 is provided with a lifting cylinder 19 for driving the alignment lifting frame 17 to lift and lower, and an alignment plate is transversely arranged at the front or rear end of the conveying wheel assembly 10, and an adsorption mechanism for adsorbing large plates 24 is arranged above the conveying frame 1, and the adsorption mechanism is installed on the beam frame 2 through a transverse movement mechanism, and the plate placing table 22 is located on one side below the beam frame 2, and the front end face of the beam frame 2 is provided with a dislocation material opening 23 for facilitating the forklift to transport multi-layer large plates 24, and the front end face of the dislocation material opening 23 is arranged as a whole at the rear end face of the plate placing table 22;

[0028] When working, Figure 1 , Figure 4 Here, the plate placement table 22 is arranged on the left side of the conveyor frame 1, which can be used as a discharging station or a loading station. The offset material port 23 is designed to be a large opening and offset backwards, mainly to facilitate the forklift frame of the forklift to go deeper backwards better, so that the fork wall frame will not hit the front beam of the beam frame 2, and the operator can take and put the large plate 24 more conveniently and quickly. When transportation is required, the transverse movement mechanism on the beam frame 2 drives the adsorption mechanism to move left and right to realize the transportation of the large plate 24 between the plate placement table 22 and the conveying wheel assembly 10. When the large plate 24 is driven by the adsorption mechanism to be placed on the conveying wheel assembly 10, multiple groups of conveying rollers 16 are responsible for the left and right transverse movement transportation, but in order to ensure that the position of each large plate 24 is accurately aligned, An alignment mechanism is provided here, i.e. an alignment conveyor chain 18 which is arranged at intervals between a plurality of groups of conveyor rollers 16. When the alignment conveyor chain 18 is working, the alignment lifting frame 17 is firstly driven to rise by the lifting cylinder 19, and the large plate 24 is lifted up by a plurality of alignment conveyor chains 18, and then the large plate 24 is moved forward or backward by the rotating alignment conveyor chain 18 until the large plate 24 is against the alignment plate to achieve alignment, and then the lifting cylinder 19 is driven to drive the alignment lifting frame 17 to descend as a whole, and the alignment conveyor chain 18 is located below the height of the conveyor roller 16, and then the plurality of groups of conveyor rollers 16 are driven to rotate, and the large plate 24 is conveyed and driven toward the next workstation, thereby completing the loading and unloading and alignment transfer and conveying functions of the large plate 24.

[0029] Wherein, two sets of roller teeth are installed at the rear end of each conveying roller 16, and two adjacent conveying rollers 16 are connected by transmission through the two sets of roller teeth and the roller chain, and the conveying wheel assembly 10 is provided with a driving motor for driving the roller chain to rotate;

[0030] When working, Figure 6, the two conveying rollers 16 here are connected by a roller chain between the two outer roller teeth, while the inner roller teeth are drivingly connected to the roller teeth of the adjacent conveying rollers 16 through a roller chain. Naturally, it is also possible to connect the two inner roller teeth with a roller chain, and the outer roller teeth are each connected to the adjacent left and right roller teeth through a roller chain, which will not be elaborated here.

[0031] Among them, the traversing mechanism includes a traversing frame 3. Traversing sliders 30 are fixed at the front and rear corners of the traversing frame 3. Transfer guide rails 20 are horizontally installed on the front and rear sides of the top of the beam frame 2. The traversing sliders 30 are slidably clamped on the corresponding transfer guide rails 20. A rack 21 is installed in parallel on one side of the transfer guide rail 20. A traversing motor 31 is installed on the traversing frame 3. A gear shaft 32 is driven and led out from the traversing motor 31. A traversing gear 33 for meshing and connecting with the rack 21 is installed at the end of the gear shaft 32;

[0032] During operation, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, the traversing motor 31 penetrates and leads out the gear shaft 32. The front and rear ends of the gear shaft 32 are respectively meshed with the rack 21 through the traversing gears 33. When the traversing motor 31 drives the gear shaft 32 to rotate, the gear shaft 32 drives the traversing gears 33 to roll and move on the rack 21. Among them, the traversing sliders 30 cooperate with the transfer guide rails 20 to mainly guide and support 3, preventing the traversing gears 33 and the rack 21 from being overloaded. Thus, the traversing motor 31 can easily complete the left and right traversing action of 3 on 2 by controlling the rotation direction of the gear shaft 32.

[0033] Among them, the suction cup mechanism includes a suction cup mounting frame 41. Multiple rows of suction cups 42 are arranged in an array at the bottom of the suction cup mounting frame 41. The suction cup mounting frame 41 is vertically slidably arranged at the bottom of the traversing frame 3. A suction cup cylinder 35 for driving the vertical sliding of the suction cup mounting frame 41 is installed on the traversing frame 3;

[0034] Among them, the suction cup mounting frame 41 is horizontally installed at the bottom of the suction cup lifting frame 4. The suction cup lifting frame 4 is sleeved on the left and right outer circles of the traversing frame 3. A plurality of suction cup guide columns 40 are vertically fixed on the left and right sides of the suction cup lifting frame 4 respectively. Horizontal frame sliders 34 for slidably sleeving on the outer circles of the suction cup guide columns 40 are fixedly installed on the left and right side walls of the traversing frame 3. The suction cup cylinder 35 is fixedly installed upside down on the traversing frame 3. A hydraulic system 36 is arranged on one side of the suction cup cylinder 35.

The suction cup lifting bracket 4 is vertically slidably mounted on the transverse moving frame 3 through the suction cup frame guide posts 40 and the transverse frame sliders 34. When the suction cup mounting bracket 41 is stressed downward, the suction cup mounting bracket 41 drives the entire suction cup lifting bracket 4 to move downward, thereby driving multiple suction cups 42 on the suction cup mounting bracket 41 to perform adsorption and discharging actions at an appropriate height.

[0036] Among them, the plate placing table 22 is arranged on the left side of the conveying wheel assembly 10. Above the right end of the conveying wheel assembly 10, a pressing wheel assembly 11 is erected. The pressing wheel assembly 11 includes a pressing wheel frame 12. An inverted pressing cylinder 13 is mounted on the pressing wheel frame 12. A downward pressing plate 14 is fixed to the telescopic end at the bottom of the pressing cylinder 13. Multiple groups of pressing wheels 15 are longitudinally rotatably mounted on the downward pressing plate 14;

[0037] During operation, the telescopic amount of the pressing cylinder 13 is adjusted according to the thickness of the large plate 24, so as to determine the distance between the pressing wheels 15 and the conveying wheel assembly 10, so that the plate can be flattened when passing through the pressing wheel assembly 11.
