[0036] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] use Figure 1 , a composite metal strip blanking device is described. This composite metal strip blanking device can be used for blanking and conveying composite metal strips 101 after cutting and processing, or can also be used for blanking and conveying other strip-shaped materials. The following description only focuses on blanking and conveying composite metal strips 101.

[0038] First, use Figure 2-Figure 3 , the internal overall structure of the blanking device of the composite metal strip is described.

[0039] The composite metal strip blanking device includes a frame 1, a workbench 2, an X-axis feeding unit, a Y-axis pushing unit, a Y-axis moving unit, a blanking mechanism, and a control system, wherein:

[0040] The control system is electrically connected to the X-axis feeding unit, the Y-axis pushing unit, the Y-axis moving unit, and the unloading mechanism to complete the coordinated operation of the entire unloading device.

[0041] The exterior of the frame 1 is covered with a shielding plate, which protects the composite metal strips 101 inside. The finished composite metal strips 101 are transported within the frame 1. The frame 1 is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is used to allow the composite metal strips 101 in a curved and upright position to enter, while the outlet is used to allow the composite metal strips 101 in a curved and flat position to exit.

[0042] The workbench 2 is disposed inside the frame 1 , the composite metal strip 101 is located on the workbench 2 , and operations such as blanking of the composite metal strip 101 can be completed on the workbench 2 .

[0043] The X-axis feeding unit can be used to feed the composite metal strip 101 into the frame 1 from the feeding port and then feed it to one side of the workbench 2 along the X-axis direction. The X-axis feeding unit is arranged in the frame 1 and above the workbench 2.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the X-axis feeding unit includes a linear lead screw module 7 and a mechanical gripper 8. The mechanical gripper 8 can be a pneumatic mechanical gripper. The linear lead screw module 7 is mounted to the inner end surface of the frame body 1, and the mechanical gripper 8 is mounted to the output module of the linear lead screw module 7. As the composite metal strip 101 enters the frame body 1, the mechanical gripper 8 maintains the composite metal strip 101 in an upright position through the claw gap of the mechanical gripper 8. Finally, the mechanical gripper 8 clamps the rear end of the composite metal strip 101 to ensure that the composite metal strip 101 is fully inserted into the frame body 1.

[0045] During use, the finished composite metal strip 101 is pushed by external equipment and transported to the side of the workbench 2 (it should be noted that because the composite metal strip 101 needs to be heated to a high temperature before it can be cut, the composite metal strip 101 is in an arched state at this time). The finished composite metal strip 101 is then clamped by the mechanical claw 8. The gap between the mechanical claws 8 keeps the composite metal strip 101 upright. At this time, the lead screw linear module 7 is activated, and the output module on the lead screw linear module 7 moves the mechanical claw 8 and the composite metal strip 101 toward the interior of the frame 1, allowing the composite metal strip 101 to fully enter the frame 1. The mechanical claw 8 is released, and the composite metal strip 101 can fall onto the workbench 2 in an upright state.

[0046] The Y-axis pushing unit is arranged in the frame body 1 and located on one side of the workbench 2, and can be used to push the composite metal strip 101 to dump it onto the workbench 2. The number of the Y-axis pushing units is at least two and they are symmetrically arranged.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the Y-axis pusher unit includes a pusher cylinder 9 and a push rod 901. An assembly plate is mounted on the inner end surface of the frame body 1, perpendicular to the side surface of the frame body 1. The pusher cylinder 9 is mounted to the inner end surface of the frame body 1 via the assembly plate, and the push rod 901 is mounted to the output end of the pusher cylinder 9. When the composite metal strip 101 falls onto the workbench 2, the composite metal strip 101 is roughly arched, and the pusher cylinder 9 drives the push rod 901 to move in the Y-axis direction, thereby pushing the push rod 901 to push the composite metal strip 101 onto the workbench 2.

[0048] The Y-axis material transfer unit is provided on the workbench 2 and can be used to move the poured composite metal strip 101 along the Y-axis direction and to move it to the other side of the workbench 2. That is, the Y-axis material transfer unit pushes the composite metal strip 101 to the unloading end of the workbench 2. There are at least two Y-axis material transfer units and they are symmetrically spaced.

[0049] The top of the workbench 2 is provided with a plurality of tabletops 10, and a separation space 11 is provided between the plurality of tabletops 10. Figure 6 As shown, the Y-axis material moving unit includes a screw linear module 2 12 and a push plate 13. The screw linear module 2 12 is arranged in the partition space 11 and is installed on the cross bar of the workbench 2. The push plate 13 is installed on the output end of the screw linear module 2 12. By starting the screw linear module 2 12, the push plate 13 can push the composite metal strip 101 on the workbench 2 to the other side of the workbench 2.

[0050] The unloading mechanism is located at the discharge port of the frame 1 and is used to unload the composite metal strip 101 on the workbench 2. The unloading mechanism includes a unloading unit and a material table 3. The material table 3 is located on one side of the workbench 2 and is in a flat state. The unloading unit is used to push the composite metal strip 101 onto the material table 3.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the unloading unit includes a lifting cylinder 14 and an unloading cylinder 15. The lifting cylinder 14 is vertically mounted on the frame body 1, and the unloading cylinder 15 is mounted on the bottom output end of the lifting cylinder 14. A push column is provided on the output end of the unloading cylinder 15. The unloading cylinder 15 is used to unload the composite metal strip 101 onto the material platform 3. In order to avoid the unloading cylinder 15 being insufficient in length, the unloading cylinder 15 can be a multi-section cylinder.

[0052] When the composite metal strip 101 on the workbench 2 is unloaded onto the material table 3, the lifting cylinder 14 drives the unloading cylinder 15 to move upward. When the composite metal strip 101 is pushed by the screw linear module 2 12 and the push plate 13, the composite metal strip 101 is located on the pushing end side of the unloading cylinder 15. The lifting cylinder 14 drives the unloading cylinder 15 to move downward. At this time, the unloading cylinder 15 is started, and the output end of the unloading cylinder 15 can unload the composite metal strip 101 onto the material table 3.

[0053] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the lead screw linear module 1 7 and the mechanical claw 8, the composite metal strip 101 grasped by the mechanical claw 8 can be completely transported into the interior of the frame body 1. The push cylinder 9 then drives the push rod 901 to push parallel to the X-axis direction. The push rod 901 can push the composite metal strip 101 to the top. Then, the lead screw linear module 2 12 and the push plate 13 are activated. The push plate 13 can push the composite metal strip 101 to the unloading end of the workbench 2. The composite metal strip 101 is unloaded onto the material table 3 by the unloading cylinder 15. In this way, according to the above principle, the composite metal strip 101 is cyclically unloaded onto the material table 3. In addition, because the arranged composite metal strips 101 on the material table 3 are still in a high temperature and bent state, the bent composite metal strips 101 can be abutted against each other and arranged under the push of the unloading cylinder 15, so that the composite metal strips 101 can be in a vertical state. After being cooled on the material table 3 , the multiple arranged composite metal strips 101 are in a vertical state and arranged neatly.

[0054] The overall unloading can be automated. Compared with the existing unloading method of cutting the material and letting it fall freely into the material cart, the composite metal strip 101 in the utility model can avoid the collision of the falling material with the stored material and the collision with the railing of the material cart when unloading, thereby reducing the risk of collision between materials, improving the quality of the materials, and facilitating unloading and use.

[0055] In addition, through the coordinated cooperation of the overall X-axis feeding unit, Y-axis pushing unit, Y-axis moving unit and unloading mechanism, the material unloading is arranged in a regular pattern. Compared with the existing unloading method of freely falling into the material cart, the material of the utility model is placed more neatly during unloading, and it can also avoid the risk of some bottom materials being compressed and causing the materials to bend left and right, thereby improving the overall quality.

[0056] In one possible embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the material platform 3 is an automatic lifting material platform, which includes a load-bearing platform, a lifting mechanism and a base. The lifting mechanism is installed between the load-bearing platform and the base, and the lifting of the material platform 3 can be controlled by the lifting mechanism.

[0057] A position sensor is installed on the material table 3. Both the position sensor and the lifting mechanism are electrically connected to the control system. A pre-set control program is included within the control system. This program specifies the number of composite metal strips 101 that can be loaded onto each surface layer of the material table 3. When the material table 3's surface layer is fully loaded, the control system lowers the material table 3 to a preset height, so that the top of the composite metal strips 101 on the material table 3 is flush with the workbench 2. This arrangement allows the composite metal strips 101 to be stacked entirely on the material table 3, and then pushed to another designated area by personnel.

[0058] In one possible embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a material guide trough 16 is provided at the bottom of the mechanical claw 8 and on the workbench 2. The material guide trough 16 is placed horizontally in the frame body 1. When the mechanical claw 8 releases the grasped composite metal strip 101, the material guide trough 16 can limit the composite metal strip 101 to prevent the composite metal strip 101 from tipping over and dislocating, thereby ensuring the neatness of subsequent unloading.

[0059] In one possible embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a limiting rod 4 is provided in the interval space 11, and the number of the limiting rods 4 is at least two. The material is located between the limiting rod 4 and the Y-axis pushing unit. When the Y-axis pushing unit pushes the material, the limiting rod 4 can rotate in the same direction.

[0060] like Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, the limiting rod 4 also includes a rotating shaft 5 and a driving unit 6. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably mounted to the bottom of the workbench 2, and the limiting rod 4 is mounted to the end of the rotating shaft 5. The driving unit 6 can drive the rotating shaft 5 and the limiting rod 4 to rotate. In this embodiment, when the mechanical claw 8 releases the grasped composite metal strip 101 and the push rod 901 dumps the composite metal strip 101 along the Y-axis onto the workbench 2, while the push rod 901 moves, the limiting rod 4 rotates toward the moving direction of the push rod 901. The limiting rod 4 can support the composite metal strip 101, preventing the composite metal strip 101 from directly dumping, and ensuring the coordinated progress of subsequent unloading.

[0061] In one possible embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the driving unit 6 is an extension cylinder, the output end of the extension cylinder is hinged to the bottom end surface of the frame body 1, and the other end of the extension cylinder is installed on the rotating shaft 5 through a hinge seat; in this embodiment, when the extension cylinder is started and the output end of the extension cylinder is extended or contracted, it can drive the rotating shaft 5 and the limit rod 4 to rotate, thereby enabling the limit rod 4 to have a rotation function.

[0062] Working principle:

[0063] When the composite metal strip blanking device blanks the composite metal strip 101, the screw linear module 7 drives the mechanical claw 8 to move its position. The mechanical claw 8 keeps the composite metal strip 101 upright through the claw gap of the mechanical claw 8 during the process of the composite metal strip 101 entering the frame body 1. The guide groove 16 located at the bottom of the mechanical claw 8 can limit the composite metal strip 101 to prevent the composite metal strip 101 from tipping over and dislocating, and then clamp the tail end of the composite metal strip 101 so that the composite metal strip 101 can completely enter the frame body 1. Then the mechanical claw 8 releases the grabbed composite metal strip 101. At this time, the push cylinder 9 is activated, driving the push rod 901 to tilt the composite metal strip 101 along the Y axis onto the workbench 2. While the push rod 901 is moving, the limit rod 4 rotates toward the moving direction of the push rod 901. The limit rod 4 can support the composite metal strip 101, preventing the composite metal strip 101 from directly tilting, and allowing the composite metal strip 101 to slowly fall onto the workbench 2. At this time, the screw linear module 2 12 and the push plate 13 in the spacing space 11 are activated. The push plate 13 can push the composite metal strip 101 on the workbench 2 to the discharge port of the workbench 2. Finally, the lifting cylinder 14 and the unloading cylinder 15 are activated. The lifting cylinder 14 drives the unloading cylinder 15 to descend. The descending unloading cylinder 15 can unload the composite metal strip 101 onto the material table 3, that is, the composite metal strip 101 is automatically unloaded onto the material table 3.
