Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of a labeling and cutting production line for woodworking machinery, in particular to a cutting workstation with side feeding and buffer. Background Art

[0002] A labeling and cutting production line is a production line for processing boards, which is widely used in the wood processing process. The labeling and cutting production line includes an automatic labeling machine, a cutting machine and a blanking platform. During the cutting process, the cutting machine can only process one board at a time and can only be set into a one-to-one structure, that is, one automatic labeling machine can only correspond to one cutting machine. The labeling speed of the automatic labeling machine is faster than the cutting speed of the cutting machine. The one-to-one structure will cause the boards completed by the labeling of the automatic labeling machine to wait for the cutting of the cutting machine, resulting in low processing efficiency.

[0003] In the prior art, there appears a labeling and cutting production line with a one-to-two structure, that is, one automatic labeling machine corresponds to two cutting machines. It performs labeling operations through the automatic labeling machine. After labeling is completed, it is output by a roller conveyor, and then the boards are respectively conveyed to two cutting platforms through a pulling mechanism, and the automatic cutting machine is used for cutting operations, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the boards. However, during the process of the pulling mechanism pulling the boards for feeding onto the cutting platform, it is easy to damage or scratch the boards when pulling the boards, and when pulling the boards for feeding, the cutting platform needs to wait intermittently. When the cutting platform is performing cutting work, the feeding of the boards needs to wait intermittently, that is, the feeding of the boards and the cutting will interfere with each other. In this way, a large amount of waiting time is required during mass production, affecting the production efficiency and resulting in high production costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to research a new technology to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of this, aiming at the deficiencies existing in the prior art, the main purpose of the utility model is to provide a cutting workstation with side feeding and buffer, which has a feeding buffer function, can prevent the feeding of the boards and the cutting from interfering with each other, does not need to wait intermittently and waste time, improves the production efficiency, reduces the production cost, and can avoid damaging the boards, thereby ensuring the production quality.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A side-feed cutting workstation with a buffer, comprising an automatic labeling machine and a first cutting device and a second cutting device which are arranged side by side at a certain distance on one side of the automatic labeling machine; a first buffer conveyor is arranged at the input end of the first cutting device, a second buffer conveyor is arranged at the input end of the second cutting device, a manipulator is arranged between the first buffer conveyor and the second buffer conveyor, the manipulator has a working area, the first buffer conveyor, the second buffer conveyor and the automatic labeling machine are all located in the working area, and the manipulator reciprocates between the automatic labeling machine, the first buffer conveyor and the second buffer conveyor.

[0008] As a preferred solution, both the first buffer conveyor and the second buffer conveyor are roller conveyors.

[0009] As a preferred solution, the first cutting device includes a first cutting machine and a first blanking platform arranged at the output end of the first cutting machine, the second cutting device includes a second cutting machine and a second blanking platform arranged at the output end of the second cutting machine, the output end of the first buffer conveyor is connected to the input end of the first cutting machine, and the output end of the second buffer conveyor is connected to the input end of the second cutting machine.

[0010] As a preferred solution, both the first blanking platform and the second blanking platform are belt conveyors.

[0011] As a preferred solution, the automatic labeling machine includes a frame and a labeling head for labeling, a hydraulic lifting platform for placing the board is arranged beside the frame corresponding to the labeling head, the frame is arranged along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first buffer conveyor and the second buffer conveyor, the frame is provided with a bed with adjustable height, and the labeling head is slidably arranged on the bed.

[0012] As a preferred solution, the manipulator is a four-axis manipulator.

[0013] As a preferred solution, the manipulator is connected with a suction cup assembly for picking and placing the board.

[0014] As a preferred solution, both the first buffer conveyor and the second buffer conveyor are provided with sensors for sensing the board.

[0015] The utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, it mainly sets a first buffer conveyor table at the input end of the first blanking device and a second buffer conveyor table at the input end of the second blanking device. In this way, the board can be loaded onto the buffer conveyor table for material waiting buffer, and the board on the buffer conveyor table is transported to the blanking device for blanking only after the blanking processing of the blanking device is completed. In this way, when loading the board onto the buffer conveyor table, the blanking device can simultaneously perform blanking processing. Thus, it has the function of feeding buffer, enabling the board loading and blanking not to interfere with each other, without wasting time by intermittent waiting, improving production efficiency, reducing production costs, and a manipulator is arranged between the first buffer conveyor table and the second buffer conveyor table, enabling the manipulator to reciprocate between the automatic labeling machine, the first buffer conveyor table, and the second buffer conveyor table. In this way, it can use the manipulator to pick up and load materials instead of pulling the board for loading, avoiding damage to the board and thus ensuring production quality. Secondly, the board after labeling on the automatic labeling machine is transferred to the blanking device by the manipulator, making the height of the automatic labeling machine have no direct relation with that of the blanking device. Then, an adjustable-height bed body is arranged on the frame of the automatic labeling machine, enabling it to achieve full-stack board loading by increasing the height of the automatic labeling machine without affecting the height of the blanking device, and meeting the needs of customers who do not want to dig a foundation pit but want to perform full-stack board loading, without the need for multiple shutdowns for board loading, with higher efficiency. Moreover, during the board loading and blanking process, no manual participation is required, reducing labor costs and the labor intensity of work.

[0030] A blanking workstation with side feeding and buffer includes a master controller 10, an automatic labeling machine 20, and a first blanking device 30 and a second blanking device 40 which are arranged side by side and at a certain distance on one side of the automatic labeling machine 20; the automatic labeling machine 20, the first blanking device 30, and the second blanking device 40 are respectively electrically connected to the master controller 10; a first buffer conveyor table 50 is arranged at the input end of the first blanking device 30, a second buffer conveyor table 60 is arranged at the input end of the second blanking device 40, a manipulator 70 is arranged between the first buffer conveyor table 50 and the second buffer conveyor table 60, the manipulator 70 has a working area 71, the first buffer conveyor table 50, the second buffer conveyor table 60, and the automatic labeling machine 20 are all located in the working area 71, the manipulator 70 reciprocates between the automatic labeling machine 20, the first buffer conveyor table 50, and the second buffer conveyor table 60, the manipulator 70 is preferably a four-axis manipulator 70, and the manipulator 70 is connected with a suction cup assembly 72 for picking and placing plates; the manipulator 70 is electrically connected to the master controller 10. Here, through the design of the first buffer conveyor table 50 and the second buffer conveyor table 60, the plates can be loaded onto the buffer conveyor table for material waiting and buffering, and the plates on the buffer conveyor table are transported to the blanking device for blanking only after the blanking device has completed the blanking process. In this way, when loading the plates onto the buffer conveyor table, the blanking device can simultaneously perform the blanking process. Thus, it has the function of feeding and buffering, which can prevent the interference between plate loading and blanking, eliminate the need for intermittent waiting and time waste, improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and a manipulator 70 is arranged between the first buffer conveyor table 50 and the second buffer conveyor table 60, enabling the manipulator to reciprocate between the automatic labeling machine, the first buffer conveyor table, and the second buffer conveyor table. In this way, it can pick and place materials through the manipulator instead of pulling the plates for loading, which can avoid damaging the plates and thus ensure the production quality

[0031] The first blanking device 30 includes a first blanking machine 31 and a first blanking platform 32 disposed at the output end of the first blanking machine 31. The second blanking device 40 includes a second blanking machine 41 and a second blanking platform 42 disposed at the output end of the second blanking machine 41. The output end of the first buffer conveyor 50 is connected to the input end of the first blanking machine 31, and the output end of the second buffer conveyor 60 is connected to the input end of the second blanking machine 41. Preferably, in this embodiment, both the first buffer conveyor 50 and the second buffer conveyor 60 are roller conveyor platforms, and both the first blanking platform 32 and the second blanking platform 42 are belt conveyors. Among them, the first blanking machine 31, the second blanking machine 41, the roller conveyor platform, and the belt conveyor are all existing known devices and can be purchased.

[0032] The automatic labeling machine 20 includes a machine frame 21 and a labeling head 22 for labeling. A hydraulic lifting platform 23 for placing the plate is disposed beside the machine frame 21 corresponding to the labeling head 22. The machine frame 21 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first buffer conveyor 50 and the second buffer conveyor 60, so that the automatic labeling machine 20 is placed horizontally relative to the buffer conveyor, and the hydraulic lifting platform 23 is placed horizontally relative to the buffer conveyor. Thus, after the manipulator 70 grabs the plate after labeling from the hydraulic lifting platform 23, it disengages from the automatic labeling machine 20 from the side and is conveyed to the buffer conveyor to achieve lateral feeding. The machine frame 21 is provided with a bed body with adjustable height, and the labeling head 22 is slidably disposed on the bed body. Here, the bed body can achieve the purpose of adjusting the height by increasing the base, or other existing structures capable of adjusting the height can also be used to achieve the purpose of increasing the height of the bed body. In addition, a raised base is provided at the bottom of the manipulator 70 to adjust the height of the manipulator 70 to cooperate with the raised automatic labeling machine 20.

[0033] Both the first buffer conveyor 50 and the second buffer conveyor 60 are provided with sensors for sensing the plate, so as to sense whether there is a plate on the buffer conveyor, so that the manipulator 70 can distribute the feeding on the two buffer conveyors.

[0034] In this embodiment, a fence 80 is further provided. The automatic labeling machine 20, the first buffer conveyor 50, the second buffer conveyor 60, the first blanking machine 31, and the second blanking machine 41 are all located within the fence 80. The fence 80 is provided with an inlet and outlet 81 for a forklift to enter and exit corresponding to the side of the automatic labeling machine 20 away from the conveyor. A light curtain sensor is provided on the fence 80 at the inlet and outlet 81. Thus, when the light curtain of the light curtain sensor is blocked, a light-shielding signal is emitted to control the automatic labeling machine 20 and the like to stop working to avoid safety accidents.

[0035] Also, in this embodiment, the first blanking device 30, the second blanking device 40, and the manipulator 70 are all equipped with electrical cabinets 90. The automatic labeling machine 20, the first blanking device 30, the second blanking device 40, the manipulator 70, the electrical cabinet 90, etc. are electrically connected to the master controller 10 through the configured wire trough 101 with cables.

[0036] The general working process is as follows:

[0037] A stack of boards is directly forklifted to the hydraulic lifting platform 23 by a forklift. Before labeling, the automatic labeling machine 20 needs to position the boards. The suction cups on the automatic labeling machine 20 grab the boards to be labeled and move them to the front-back and left-right positioning stops on the automatic labeling machine 20 respectively, and then labeling is carried out; after the labeling is completed, the boards are grabbed by the manipulator 70 and sent to two buffer conveyor tables at the input sides of the two blanking devices; as long as the manipulator 70 grabs the board and leaves the area of the automatic labeling machine 20, the automatic labeling machine 20 can immediately label the next board; during the process of the manipulator 70 loading the board onto the buffer conveyor table, the blanking device can continuously carry out blanking processing without the need to avoid, until the processing is completed; only after the blanking device finishes processing will it pull the board on the buffer conveyor table to the unprocessed table surface of the blanking device. In this way, a working cycle of loading a board and blanking by the blanking device is completed.

[0038] In summary, the design focus of the present utility model is that mainly by providing a first buffer conveyor table at the input end of the first blanking device and a second buffer conveyor table at the input end of the second blanking device, in this way, the boards can be loaded onto the buffer conveyor table for material waiting and buffering, and only after the blanking device finishes blanking processing will the boards on the buffer conveyor table be transported to the blanking device for blanking. In this way, when loading the board onto the buffer conveyor table, the blanking device can simultaneously carry out blanking processing. In this way, it has the function of feeding buffer, can prevent the loading of the board and blanking from interfering with each other, does not need to wait intermittently and waste time, improves production efficiency, reduces production costs, and there is a manipulator between the first buffer conveyor table and the second buffer conveyor table, enabling the manipulator to reciprocate between the automatic labeling machine, the first buffer conveyor table, and the second buffer conveyor table. In this way, it can use the manipulator to pick up and load materials instead of pulling the board for loading, which can avoid damaging the boards, thus ensuring the production quality. Secondly, by using the manipulator to transfer the boards after labeling on the automatic labeling machine to the blanking device, the height of the automatic labeling machine and the blanking device has no direct relationship. Then, an adjustable-height bed body is set on the frame of the automatic labeling machine, enabling it to realize full-stack board loading by increasing the height of the automatic labeling machine without affecting the height of the blanking device, and can meet the needs of customers who do not want to dig a foundation pit but want to load full-stack boards, without the need to stop and load the board multiple times, with higher efficiency. Also, during the process of loading the board and blanking, no manual participation is required, reducing labor costs and the intensity of work.
