Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of workpiece processing devices, and in particular relates to a waste material placement station. Background Art

[0002] In the process of product processing, one situation is to separate the product into the product body in the middle and the frame (or waste material) on the periphery to distinguish the materials. Generally, the frame is taken out manually and thrown into a waste bin, which wastes manpower. Alternatively, a multi-axis robot is used to take away the frame. Although this method does not require manual removal, the cost of the robot is relatively high and the structure is complicated.

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a waste disposal station to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and realize automatic disposal of the frame. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a waste disposal station with a simple structure and ingenious design. Through the alternating action and cooperation of the upper and lower clamping mechanisms, the frame (or waste) can be smoothly separated and collected.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, a technical solution adopted by the utility model is: to provide a waste disposal station, including a bracket, a support frame, a sliding trough, two upper clamping mechanisms and two lower clamping mechanisms, the sliding trough is installed on the bracket and is located directly below the support frame, the two upper clamping mechanisms and the two lower clamping mechanisms are respectively located on both sides of the bracket, and the upper clamping mechanism is located above the lower clamping mechanism;

[0006] A plurality of positioning holes are provided on both sides of the support frame, and the positioning holes are respectively aligned with the upper clamping mechanism and the lower clamping mechanism, and the support frame is clamped by inserting the two upper clamping mechanisms or the two lower clamping mechanisms into the corresponding positioning holes.

[0007] Furthermore, the slide trough is an inclined trough with one end being high and the other end being low.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the upper clamping mechanisms and each of the lower clamping mechanisms includes a clamping drive cylinder, a connecting plate and two clamping columns. The power output end of the clamping drive cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. A clamping column is fixed at each end of the connecting plate. The other end of the clamping column simultaneously passes through the side wall of the bracket and is aligned with the corresponding positioning hole. The connecting plate is driven to translate by the clamping drive cylinder, thereby driving the clamping column to translate.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame includes side panels located on the left and right sides, connecting columns located on the front and rear sides, and a support platform fixed to the side panels and arranged horizontally.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of supporting feet are provided at the bottom of the bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, limit flanges are provided at the four corners of the support frame.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0013] The present utility model includes a bracket, a support frame, a material sliding groove, two upper clamping mechanisms and two lower clamping mechanisms. First, the lower clamping mechanisms on the left and right sides act to clamp the support frame from the left and right sides. At this time, the clamping columns of the upper clamping mechanism are in the retracted state and do not contact the support frame. At this time, the product body and the frame that are already in the separated state fall from above to this intermediate station. Specifically, the product body will fall onto the support table of the support frame, and then the frame will fall onto the clamping columns of the lower clamping mechanism. Then, the clamping driving cylinder of the upper clamping mechanism acts to drive the clamping column to insert into the positioning hole in the upper layer to clamp the support frame. Then, the clamping driving cylinder of the lower clamping mechanism acts to drive the clamping column to withdraw from the positioning hole in the lower layer. Then, the frame will fall into the material sliding groove and fall along the material sliding groove, and the frame (or waste material) can be discarded. Therefore, the structure of the present utility model is concise and the design is ingenious. Through the alternating actions of the upper and lower clamping mechanisms, the smooth separation and collection of the frame (or waste material) can be realized.

Those skilled in the art can easily understand the advantages and effects of the present utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. The present utility model can also be implemented in other different ways, that is, without departing from the scope disclosed by the present utility model, different modifications and changes can be made.

[0023] Embodiment: As Figures 1 to 4 shown, after processing, the product includes a product body 101 located at the center and a surrounding frame 102 (or waste material) located at the periphery, and the two are in a separated state.

[0024] A waste material middle station includes a bracket 1, a support frame 2, a material sliding groove 3, two upper clamping mechanisms 4 and two lower clamping mechanisms 5. The material sliding groove is installed on the bracket and is directly below the support frame. The two upper clamping mechanisms and the two lower clamping mechanisms are respectively located on both sides of the bracket, and the upper clamping mechanism is located above the lower clamping mechanism;

[0025] A plurality of positioning holes 21 are provided on both sides of the support frame. The positioning holes are respectively aligned with the upper clamping mechanism and the lower clamping mechanism, and the support frame is clamped by inserting the two upper clamping mechanisms or the two lower clamping mechanisms into the corresponding positioning holes.

[0026] In this embodiment, the material sliding groove is an inclined groove with one end high and the other end low, which is convenient for the frame falling into the material sliding groove to slide down smoothly.

[0027] In this embodiment, each upper clamping mechanism 4 and each lower clamping mechanism 5 include a clamping driving cylinder 41, a connecting plate 42 and two clamping columns 43. The power output end of the clamping driving cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. One clamping column is fixedly arranged at each end of the connecting plate. The other end of the clamping column passes through the side wall of the bracket and is aligned with the corresponding positioning hole. The connecting plate is driven to translate by the clamping driving cylinder, and then the clamping column is driven to translate.

[0028] In this embodiment, the support frame includes side plates 22 located on the left and right, connecting columns 23 located on the front and back, and a support table 24 fixedly arranged on the side plates and horizontally arranged.

[0029] In this embodiment, a plurality of support feet 11 are provided at the bottom of the bracket, which is convenient for the stability of the middle station after it is placed on the workbench or the ground.

[0030] In this embodiment, limit stop pieces 24 are provided at the four corners of the support frame, which play a limiting role for the product body and are convenient for the product body to fall onto the support table more smoothly.

[0031] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows:

[0032] Under normal conditions, the lower clamping mechanisms on the left and right sides act to clamp the support frame from the left and right sides. At this time, the clamping columns of the upper clamping mechanism are in the retracted state and do not contact the support frame. At this time, the product body and the frame that have been in the separated state fall from above to this central station. Specifically: the product body will fall onto the support platform of the support frame, and then the frame will fall onto the clamping columns of the lower clamping mechanism. Then, the clamping drive cylinder of the upper clamping mechanism acts to drive the clamping column to insert into the positioning hole in the upper layer to clamp the support frame. Then, the clamping drive cylinder of the lower clamping mechanism acts to drive the clamping column to withdraw from the positioning hole in the lower layer. Then, the frame will fall into the material sliding groove and fall along the material sliding groove, and the frame (or waste material) can be discarded.

[0033] The above are only embodiments of the present utility model, and thus do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structures made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are similarly included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
