Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model particularly relates to a metal plate positioning and alignment device. Background Art

[0002] Metal raw materials can be made into products through steps such as cutting, grinding, and polishing. In the cutting process, large-scale equipment is generally used for cutting in order to achieve high production efficiency. Therefore, before cutting multiple metal sheet raw materials into multiple materials of the same size and shape, it is necessary to stack the multiple sheets in a stacking manner, and first position and align them before cutting them so that the cut materials are of the same size. The traditional sheet stacking method is to carry and stack them manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive and not easy to position and align. Since the metal raw materials are not all square materials of the same size, the edges of some materials will be skewed, so it is difficult to locate the position where multiple materials of the same size and shape can be cut out during positioning and alignment. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device that can position and align multiple metal sheets. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment of the present invention preferably provides a metal plate positioning and alignment device, comprising a feeding table 1, on which a conveyor belt 11 for conveying plates is provided, a workbench 12 for performing alignment work is provided on one side of the feeding table 1, a stand 2 for aligning plates is provided on the workbench 12, a wheel axle device 3 and a pushing device 4 for aligning plates with the stand 2 are provided on the workbench 12, and a supporting structure 5 that can move up and down, and a lifting structure 6 that can stack plates up and down are provided on the workbench 12. By placing metal plates on the feeding table, the plates are continuously transferred to the workbench by the conveyor belt. When the plates enter the position of the wheel axle device and the pushing device of the workbench, the plates can be aligned with the stand. After alignment, the lifting structure drives the supporting structure to move up and down, allowing the positioned and aligned plates to move downward, and the next plate to be positioned and aligned will be stacked on top of the previous plate for positioning and alignment, thereby realizing the positioning, alignment and stacking of multiple plates in sequence. After multiple boards are stacked, they can be taken out by tools such as forklifts for subsequent cutting and other procedures.

[0023] The stand fixture 2 described in the present invention includes an L-shaped baffle 21 disposed on the left rear side of the workbench 12, and the L-shaped baffle 21 is disposed through the upper and lower walls of the workbench 12. The L-shaped baffle is located on the left and rear sides as a positioning reference, allowing the axle device and the push device to push the plate toward the L-shaped baffle to achieve positioning and alignment. The L-shaped baffle on the upper wall of the workbench is used to position and align the plate currently on the workbench, and the L-shaped baffle on the lower wall of the workbench is used to limit the plate after it has been positioned, aligned, and stacked layer by layer. Since the L-shaped baffle used for positioning and alignment is a right angle, the plate placed on the conveyor belt should preferably have the side closer to the right angle facing the left rear side.

[0024] The wheel shaft device 3 described in the present invention includes a plurality of fixed-point rotating rollers 31 movably inserted on the rear side of the L-shaped baffle 21, a plurality of rotating wheels 32 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating rollers 31, a pulley 33 is fixedly provided at the rear end of the rotating rollers 31, and a linkage belt 34 is sleeved on the outside of all the pulleys 33. A servo motor 35 is provided on the rear side of one of the pulleys 33, and the rotor of the servo motor 35 is connected to the pulley 33. A reinforcement frame 36 for fixing the rotating rollers 31 is also provided on the front side of the L-shaped baffle 21. The servo motor can drive one of the pulleys to rotate, and through the linkage effect of the linkage belt, multiple pulleys can rotate simultaneously. When the pulley rotates, it will drive the roller to rotate, and the rotating wheel will follow the rotation. Therefore, when the plate is conveyed to the bottom of the rotating wheel by the conveyor belt, the rotating wheel will stick to the top wall of the plate and drive the plate to move toward the side of the L-shaped baffle.

[0025] The circular periphery of the rotating wheel 32 in the present invention is covered with a soft rubber that can cling to the top wall of the plate. The soft rubber can increase the friction between the outer wall of the rotating wheel and the plate, making it easier for the plate to be driven and moved.

[0026] The front side of the workbench 12 is provided with an extension platform 13 for carrying the pushing device.

[0027] The pushing device 4 of the present invention includes a vertical plate 41 arranged on an extension platform 13. A plurality of sleeve rods 42 that can be moved linearly are movably inserted into the vertical plate 41. A push rod 43 is inserted into the rear end of the sleeve rod 42. A push head 44 is provided at the rear end of the push rod 43. A spring 45 is provided between the push head 44 and the sleeve rod 42, which is sleeved on the push rod 43. A push plate 46 is fixed to the front end of all the sleeve rods 42. An electric push rod 47 is provided on the extension platform 13. The movable end of the electric push rod 47 is fixedly connected to the push plate 46. The push rod 47 extends to push the push plate, allowing the push plate to drive the multiple sleeve rods to move toward the L-shaped baffle. During the movement, the push head contacts the plate and pushes the plate toward the L-shaped baffle to achieve alignment. Due to the provision of the spring, after the push head contacts the plate, the push rod can extend and retract within the sleeve rod to adapt to the outer contour of the plate.

[0028] The rear wall of the pressing head 44 in the present invention is covered with soft rubber that can contact the front wall of the plate.

[0029] The support structure 5 of the present invention includes a through slot 51 provided on the workbench 12, and a support plate 52 disposed in the through slot 51 and capable of linearly moving up and down. The support plate can move up and down in the through slot, thereby allowing the plate to move downward on it, allowing multiple aligned plates to be stacked layer by layer.

[0030] The jacking structure 6 described in the present invention includes several guide rods 61 disposed at the bottom of the workbench 12. A guide frame 62 is mounted on the guide rods 61, allowing for linear movement up and down. The support plate 52 is fixedly mounted above the guide frame 62. A second electric push rod 63 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the workbench 12, the movable end of which is fixedly connected to the guide frame 62. The jacking structure is used to move the support plate up and down. Since the thickness of the plates is generally uniform, the jacking structure moves the plates downward in multiple steps, with each movement distance consistent with the thickness of the plates. This allows the plates to be aligned and stacked, with the stacked plates serving as support for the next plate. The specific workflow is as follows: the guide frame is driven downward by the second electric push rod, and the guide frame is limited by the guide rods, allowing the support plate to move linearly downward. The plates on the support plate can be removed from the L-shaped baffle by a worker using the second electric push rod. At this point, the plates can be pushed out and removed using a forklift or other means.

[0031] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for illustrative purposes. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
