Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary devices for primary aluminum grinding, and particularly relates to an automatic feeding device for primary aluminum thin plates. Background Art

[0002] Due to subsequent processing requirements, primary aluminum thin plates usually need to be ground on one side. To improve the efficiency of feeding the primary aluminum thin plates to the grinding position, single primary aluminum thin plates can be transferred to an automatic feeding line for transportation to the corresponding grinding station. Specifically, the stacked primary aluminum thin plates can be transferred to the conveying line one by one.

[0003] In the existing operation process, if manual handling is used to transfer single primary aluminum thin plates to the conveying line, the primary aluminum thin plates are easily bumped during this process, affecting the appearance quality, and manual handling will cause high labor intensity for operators and low personnel utilization efficiency. As an improvement, the above problems can be avoided through the form of adsorption handling. However, when adsorbing single primary aluminum thin plates, since the primary aluminum thin plates are stacked, the air between adjacent primary aluminum thin plates may be squeezed out to form a vacuum-like state. When using the adsorption method, two or more primary aluminum thin plates may be sucked at one time, resulting in inaccurate quantity of primary aluminum thin plates transported each time. Based on the above, if manual operation is used to separate adjacent primary aluminum thin plates when adsorbing one primary aluminum thin plate, it will occupy manpower and indirectly lead to low personnel utilization efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic feeding device for primary aluminum thin plates, which realizes the automatic transfer of single primary aluminum thin plates between the feeding table and the feeding line through a transfer device, and separates the corners of a pair of adjacent primary aluminum thin plates through a lifting component, so that air enters to eliminate the vacuum adsorption state between the two, ensuring that one primary aluminum thin plate is fed each time, and improving the feeding accuracy and feeding efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an automatic feeding device for primary aluminum thin plates, comprising:

[0006] A feeding table for carrying multiple stacked primary aluminum thin plates,

The material suction mechanism includes a mounting frame arranged on the material transfer mechanism, and a plurality of suction cups arranged on the mounting frame for adsorbing the original aluminum thin plate. A lifting component is arranged at the corner on one side of the mounting frame for lifting the corner of the original aluminum thin plate.

[0009] As a further optimization, the lifting component includes a mounting plate, a translation cylinder, and an insertion plate. The mounting plate is arranged on the mounting frame, and a translation cylinder is provided at the lower end. The insertion plate is arranged at the output end of the translation cylinder and is driven to extend between a pair of stacked original aluminum thin plates.

[0010] As a further optimization, the front end of the insertion plate is provided with an inclined guiding surface, which is beneficial for the insertion plate to extend between a pair of original aluminum thin plates.

[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present utility model in combination with the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solutions of the present utility model, but the present utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] Such as Figures 1 to 2As shown, an automatic feeding device for primary aluminum sheets includes a feeding table 10, a feeding line 20, and a material transferring device 30. The feeding table 10 is used to carry multiple stacked primary aluminum sheets 100. The feeding line 20 is arranged beside the feeding table 10 and is used to convey single primary aluminum sheets 100 transferred from the feeding table 10 by the material transferring device 30. The material transferring device 30 includes a bracket 31, a material transferring mechanism 32, and a material sucking mechanism 33. The material transferring mechanism 32 is arranged on the bracket 31, and the output end is provided with the material sucking mechanism 33. The material sucking mechanism 33 includes a mounting frame 331 arranged on the material transferring mechanism 32, and a plurality of suction cups 332 arranged on the mounting frame 331 for sucking the primary aluminum sheets 100. A lifting assembly 333 is arranged at the corner of one side of the mounting frame 331 for lifting the corner of the primary aluminum sheet 100. In the process of grinding one side of the primary aluminum sheet 100, when it is necessary to transfer a single primary aluminum sheet 100 from the feeding table 10 to the feeding line 20 and feed it to the grinding position, the material transferring mechanism 32 drives the material sucking mechanism 33 to move above the feeding table 10, and drives the material sucking mechanism 33 to move downward so that the suction cups 332 abut against the primary aluminum sheet 100 and adsorb it. Before the material transferring mechanism 32 drives the suction cups 332 and the primary aluminum sheet 100 to rise, the lifting assembly 333 extends into the lower end of the primary aluminum sheet acting on the suction cups 332 and is located above the next primary aluminum sheet, and partially lifts the primary aluminum sheet 100 to form a gap at least at the corners of the pair of primary aluminum sheets, so that air can enter between the pair of primary aluminum sheets to avoid a vacuum adsorption state between the pair of primary aluminum sheets, which may cause the suction cups 332 to suck two or more primary aluminum sheets to the feeding line 20. After the above actions are completed, after the material transferring mechanism 32 drives the suction cups 332 and the primary aluminum sheet to rise, the lifting assembly 333 resets and disengages from the primary aluminum sheet, and the material transferring mechanism 32 drives the suction cups 332 to place the primary aluminum sheet 100 on the feeding line 20, which can ensure that only one primary aluminum sheet is adsorbed and transferred each time, improving the accuracy of feeding the primary aluminum sheet to the feeding line 20.

[0027] In the present utility model, the automatic transfer of single primary aluminum sheets 100 is realized between the feeding table 10 and the feeding line 20 through the material transferring device 30, which can improve the feeding efficiency and feeding accuracy. Moreover, through the lifting assembly 333, at least the corners of a pair of adjacent primary aluminum sheets can be separated, so that air can enter after a gap is formed between the pair of primary aluminum sheets to eliminate the vacuum adsorption state between them, ensuring that only one primary aluminum sheet is fed each time and improving the feeding accuracy.

[0028] Continue as Figure 2As shown, more specifically, the structure of the lifting component 333 includes a mounting plate 3331, a translation cylinder 3332, and an insertion plate 3333. The mounting plate 3331 is arranged on the mounting frame 331, and a translation cylinder 3332 is provided at the lower end. The insertion plate 3333 is arranged at the output end of the translation cylinder 3332 and extends into a pair of stacked original aluminum sheets under drive. Since the insertion plate 3333 only moves in the horizontal plane under the drive of the translation cylinder 3332, the working surface of the insertion plate 3333 should be slightly lower than the working surface of the suction cup 332 to ensure that when the suction cup 332 abuts against the original aluminum sheet 100, the insertion plate 3333 can be driven to move to the lower end of the original aluminum sheet 100 after being driven.

[0029] Furthermore, the front end of the insertion plate 3333 is provided with an inclined guiding surface, that is, its front end has a thinner working surface. By using this inclined guiding surface, it can smoothly extend between a pair of adjacent original aluminum sheets, and increase the gap between the pair of original aluminum sheets through the increased thickness at the rear end.

[0030] To avoid damage to the original aluminum sheet when the insertion plate 3333 extends between a pair of original aluminum sheets, the insertion plate 3333 can be made of wood or hard plastic.

[0031] To make the position of the insertion plate 3333 adjustable to suit original aluminum sheets of different specifications (mainly thickness and width), the mounting plate 3331 has an L-shaped structure. A through-shaped waist-shaped hole 3330 is provided on the vertical plate of the mounting plate 3331 body, and a plurality of locking holes 3310 are provided on the mounting frame 331. The mounting plate 3331 is fixed to the mounting frame 331 by bolts 3334 passing through the waist-shaped hole 3330 and extending into the locking holes 3310, so that the position of the mounting frame 3331 can be adjusted in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0032] As Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the lifting component 333 includes a vertically arranged cylinder 3335 and a suction head 3336. The vertically arranged cylinder 3335 is arranged on the mounting frame 331, and the suction head 3336 is arranged at the output end of the vertically arranged cylinder 3335 and adsorbs and lifts the corner of the original aluminum sheet 100 under drive. Thus, before the material transfer mechanism 32 drives the suction cup 332 and the original aluminum sheet 100 to rise, the vertically arranged cylinder 3335 drives the suction head 3336 to move down to abut against and adsorb the corner of the original aluminum sheet, and then drives the suction head 3336 to lift the corner of the original aluminum sheet to form a gap for air to enter. After the material transfer mechanism 32 drives the suction cup 332 and the original aluminum sheet to rise, the suction head 3336 is desorbed and reset.

[0033] Preferably, the suction head 3336 is a sponge suction head, that is, the vacuum suction pipe acts on the original aluminum sheet through the sponge (the gap of the sponge body), which can avoid generating more adsorption marks.

[0034] Based on the above settings, in another embodiment of the present utility model, the two structures of the above-mentioned lifting assembly can be combined, that is, the insertion plate 3333 and the suction head 3336 are simultaneously arranged on the mounting frame 331. Specifically: the mounting plate 3331, the translation cylinder 3332, and the vertical cylinder 3335 are arranged at a corner of the mounting frame 331 in a staggered manner, and each component does not interfere with each other. Before the material transfer mechanism 32 drives the suction cup 332 and the original aluminum thin plate 100 to rise, first, the vertical cylinder 3335 drives the suction head 3336 to adsorb the corner of the original aluminum thin plate to perform a certain degree of lifting to form an initial gap. Then, the translation cylinder 3332 drives the insertion plate 3333 to extend into this initial gap, and through the deeper extension action of the insertion plate 3333, the gap can be further enlarged, which can more easily and quickly allow air to enter the gap to eliminate the vacuum adsorption state of a pair of original aluminum thin plates. Moreover, by extending the insertion plate 3333 into the formed initial gap, the accuracy of the movement of the insertion plate 3333 can be ensured, and the insertion plate 3333 can also be prevented from colliding with the side wall of the original aluminum thin plate, resulting in damage to both. This embodiment imitates the operation process of an operator, that is, the operator first lifts a corner of the original aluminum thin plate and then inserts a spacer block, and this structure replaces manual operation.

[0035] The loading table 10 is a scissor-type hydraulic lifting table, and the material transfer mechanism 32 includes a translation module and a lifting module, both of which are servo modules. Through the cooperation of the loading table 10 and the lifting module, the suction mechanism 33 can accurately position and adsorb the original aluminum thin plate on the loading table 10.

[0036] In addition, as Figure 4 shown, the feeding line 20 includes a bracket 21 and a translation roller line 22 arranged on the bracket 21. The original aluminum thin plate 100 is conveyed on the translation roller line 22 to the grinding location. Guide roller lines 23 are arranged on both sides of the translation roller line 22 on the bracket 21. The guide roller line 23 is composed of a plurality of rotatable guide columns, which can roll and support the side wall of the original aluminum thin plate 100 during the feeding process.

[0037] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art of the present utility model can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods for substitution, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present utility model or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
