Description
Technical field:
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of workpiece transfer, in particular to a simple transfer and handling mechanism. Background technology:
[0002] With the continuous advancement of industrialization, automated handling has become an important part of modern manufacturing and logistics. In industrial production, handling is an indispensable part of the production process. Traditional manual handling is gradually being replaced by more efficient and intelligent automated handling systems due to its low efficiency, high cost, and poor stability.
[0003] Especially during the stamping process, the operation of the punch press presents a great safety hazard. The traditional manual loading and unloading and handling of workpieces is not only dangerous but also inefficient. However, replacing manual handling of workpieces with assembly lines can largely eliminate this hazard. Moreover, when multiple punch presses continuously perform stamping on workpieces, the safety hazard of manual loading and unloading and handling will be further increased, and the efficiency will be affected by manual operation. To this end, a utility model patent with the Chinese patent authorization announcement number CN 208374043 U discloses a transfer device for a stamping assembly line. In this patent solution, a belt mechanism is used to replace manual workpiece transfer, thereby eliminating the safety hazard of manual workpiece handling and handling, and improving the processing efficiency of the stamping process.
[0004] However, when multiple punching machines are performing different processing steps, due to the different stamping times of each step, as well as the differences in stamping surfaces and stamping directions, using a single belt mechanism to transfer the workpiece will often cause the workpiece to pile up between the punching machines. In particular, when reversing and turning over are required, each punching machine needs to wait synchronously, resulting in a decrease in overall production efficiency.
