Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0015] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0016] In the embodiment, it is given by Figure 1-2 A metal product auxiliary positioning mechanism, including a roller conveyor line body 1 for continuously conveying metal plates. An installation bracket 2 is arranged on the roller conveyor line body 1. A lifting platform 3 located below the roller conveyor line body 1 is arranged on the installation bracket 2. A lifting member 4 is arranged at the moving end of the lifting platform 3. Adjusting assemblies 5 for adjusting the feeding posture of the metal plate are arranged on both sides of the lifting member 4. Two blocking switches 6 are arranged on the roller conveyor line body 1 and are respectively located on both sides of the installation bracket 2. The metal plate is placed on the roller conveyor line body 1 for continuous conveying. At this time, the left blocking switch 6 is in the open state, and the metal plate can be intercepted. Subsequently, the lifting platform 3 uses the lifting member 4 to vertically lift the metal plate upward, so that the metal plate is away from the roller conveyor line body 1. Then the adjusting assembly 5 is turned on. Under the contact and pushing of the push plate 52, the metal plate is pushed to contact the surface of the limit plate 53, thereby forming the adjustment and positioning of the metal plate, which is convenient for the subsequent picking device to grab the metal plate.

[0017] Referring to Figure 1-2 , wherein, the lifting platform 3 includes a mounting plate 31, the mounting plate 31 is fixedly installed on the installation bracket 2. An electric push rod 32 is arranged on the surface of the mounting plate 31. A connecting plate 33 is arranged at the telescopic end of the electric push rod 32. And the lifting member 4 is arranged on the surface of the connecting plate 33 away from the electric push rod 32. A plurality of guide rods 34 are arranged on the installation bracket 2. And the connecting plate 33 is slidably connected to the guide rods 34;

[0018] With the above structural arrangement, the electric push rod 32 is the power source of the lifting platform 3. When the telescopic end of the electric push rod 32 makes a telescopic movement, the connecting plate 33 will move up and down accordingly, and the lifting member 4 will also move synchronously, realizing the lifting and lowering operations of the metal plate. The connecting plate 33 is slidably connected to the guide rod 34, enabling the connecting plate 33 to slide smoothly along the axial direction of the guide rod 34 during the lifting process. This not only prevents the connecting plate 33 from shifting or shaking during the lifting process but also ensures the verticality and accuracy of the lifting member 4 during the lifting process.

[0019] Referring to Figure 1-2 , wherein, the lifting member 4 includes a moving plate 41. The moving plate 41 is arranged between the connecting plate 33 and the roller conveyor line body 1. A plurality of upright columns 42 are arranged between the moving plate 41 and the connecting plate 33. A plurality of supporting plates 43 are arranged on the surface of the moving plate 41 at equal intervals, and each supporting plate 43 is respectively located between two adjacent rollers in the roller conveyor line body 1;

[0020] With the above structural arrangement, the moving plate 41 and the connecting plate 33 are connected and supported by a plurality of upright columns 42. These upright columns 42 not only ensure the stability of the moving plate 41 but also allow it to have a certain rigidity relative to the connecting plate 33 to bear the weight of the metal plate. When the moving plate 41 rises, the supporting plates 43 will gradually insert into the gaps between the rollers, thereby lifting and supporting the metal plate being conveyed on the roller conveyor line body 1.

[0021] Referring to Figure 1-2 , wherein, the adjusting assembly 5 includes telescopic cylinders 51, and the number is two. The two telescopic cylinders 51 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the moving plate 41 and are arranged oppositely. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 51 is provided with a push plate 52. A limiting plate 53 is arranged on the surface of the plurality of supporting plates 43 away from the push plate 52. A chute adapted to the push plate 52 is formed on the moving plate 41, and the push plate 52 is slidably connected in the chute;

[0022] With the above structural arrangement, the telescopic cylinder 51 is the driving source, and the push plate 52 moves as the cylinder expands and contracts. Since a chute adapted to the push plate 52 is formed on the moving plate 41, the push plate 52 can slide smoothly in the chute, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the adjustment process. During the movement of the push plate 52, they will contact the edge of the metal plate and apply a certain thrust to push the metal plate into contact with the limiting plate 53, thereby positioning the metal plate.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1-2, wherein the blocking switch 6 includes a fixed frame 61 fixedly installed on the roller conveyor line body 1, a one-way cylinder 62 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 61, a baffle 63 is arranged at the telescopic end of the one-way cylinder 62, and an infrared sensor 64 is arranged on the roller conveyor line body 1 on one side of the baffle 63.

[0024] It should be noted that in this text, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without more limitations, an element defined by the statement "including one..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said element.

[0025] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
