Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum plate processing technology, and specifically to a feeding assembly for aluminum plate processing. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum sheet refers to a rectangular material with a rectangular cross-section and uniform thickness, made from pure aluminum or aluminum alloy through pressure processing. During subsequent processing such as oiling or transportation, a certain number of aluminum sheets are often stacked on forklift pallets. This makes it easier for workers in the aluminum sheet processing factory to use forklifts to transfer the stacked aluminum sheets to different processing equipment. Then, workers can use the corresponding loading components to transport the stacked aluminum sheets to complete the loading process.

[0003] When the existing feeding assembly receives pallets and aluminum plates from a forklift, if there is a vertical misalignment between the forklift pallet and the feed inlet, it will adjust the position using a lifting component to align the aluminum plate with the feed inlet laterally. If there is a lateral misalignment between the forklift pallet and the feed inlet, the operator needs to push the forklift pallet and aluminum plate for fine-tuning to align the stacked aluminum plates with the feed inlet of the aluminum plate processing equipment. However, because the forklift pallet and aluminum plate are heavy and the internal space of the feeding assembly is relatively small, it often causes the operator to spend a lot of physical strength and time to complete the adjustment, thereby reducing the efficiency of aluminum plate feeding and increasing the workload of the operator. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the existing feeding components cannot assist workers in adjusting the forklift pallet and aligning the aluminum plate with the loading port of the processing equipment, which leads to reduced feeding efficiency and increased workload for workers. This invention provides a feeding component for aluminum plate processing.

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a feeding assembly for aluminum plate processing, comprising a transmission assembly for transmitting forklift pallets and aluminum plates, and a support frame disposed above the transmission assembly. The support frame is provided with a lifting assembly for vertically displacing the aluminum plates to align with the feed inlet. The lifting assembly is connected to a bearing assembly for laterally displacing the forklift pallets and aluminum plates to align with the feed inlet. The bearing assembly includes a lifting frame connected to the lifting assembly and a bearing plate disposed on the lifting frame. Multiple transmission rollers distributed toward the feed inlet are rotatably disposed on the bearing plate, and guide assemblies are disposed on the multiple transmission rollers.

[0006] The guiding assembly includes two U-shaped guide frames disposed on multiple transfer rollers. The middle part of the guide frame passes through the transfer rollers that slide with it. The guide frame forms a transfer groove on the upper part of the transfer rollers. The transfer groove is used to engage and transfer the support legs of the forklift pallet. The guide frame is provided with a flared end distributed towards the transfer assembly. The flared end is used to allow the support legs of the forklift pallet to enter the transfer groove.

[0007] As a further optimization of the feeding assembly for aluminum plate processing of this utility model: a support slide rail and a support slide bar with sliding fit are provided between the lifting frame and the bearing plate, and the bearing plate is threadedly connected to an adjusting screw rotatably provided on the lifting frame.

[0008] As a further optimization of the feeding assembly for aluminum plate processing of this utility model: both guide frames are slidably engaged with multiple transmission rollers along the axial direction of the transmission rollers, and the two guide frames are threadedly connected to bidirectional screws rotatably mounted on the bearing plate.

[0009] As a further optimization of the feeding assembly for aluminum plate processing of this utility model: four studs are threadedly connected to the four corners of the lifting frame, and the four studs are fixedly connected to the lifting assembly.

[0010] As a further optimization of the aluminum plate processing feeding assembly of this utility model: the bearing plate is provided with a baffle on the side facing the transmission assembly, and the height of the baffle is lower than the top surface of the forklift pallet.

[0011] As a further optimization of the feeding assembly for aluminum plate processing of this utility model: a transmission assembly is provided at the ends of multiple transmission rollers. The transmission assembly includes sprockets provided at the ends of the transmission rollers. Multiple sprockets are driven by interleaved chains. A driven gear is provided at the end of the transmission roller near the transmission assembly. The driven gear meshes with an intermediate gear provided on the support plate. The intermediate gear meshes with the driving gear driven by the transmission assembly.

[0012] As a further optimization of the feeding assembly for aluminum plate processing of this utility model: only half of the plurality of transmission rollers are provided with sprockets, and the transmission rollers provided with sprockets are distributed sequentially toward the transmission assembly.

[0013] As a further optimization of the feeding assembly for aluminum plate processing of this utility model: the guide frame is provided with an elastic pad on its vertical inner wall, and the elastic pad is made of elastic rubber with a smooth layer on the inner wall.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention aligns the feed inlet laterally by setting a guide frame, and a horn plate at one end of the guide frame facing the transmission assembly guides the laterally misaligned forklift pallet and aluminum plate into the guide frame. At the same time, the guide frame passes through the transmission groove formed by multiple transmission rollers and can slide with the support legs of the forklift pallet, thereby guiding the movement trajectory of the guide frame. This reduces the probability of the forklift pallet and aluminum plate deviating, ensuring that the forklift pallet and aluminum plate are stably aligned laterally with the feed inlet to complete the feeding process.

[0016] Furthermore, this utility model allows the support plate to slide on the lifting frame by setting support slide rails and support slide bars, so that the operator can adjust the position of the support plate and multiple transmission rollers relative to the feeding port to adapt to slight differences in the size and position of the feeding port of different equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate the content of this utility model, but the content of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1-3As shown, a feeding assembly for aluminum plate processing, similar to the prior art, includes a transmission assembly 5 for transmitting a forklift pallet 4 and an aluminum plate 8. A support frame 1 is provided above the transmission assembly 5, and a lifting assembly 9 is provided on the support frame 1. The lifting assembly 9 is connected to a load-bearing assembly 2. Under the support of the support frame 1, the lifting assembly 9 drives the load-bearing assembly 2 to be lifted to a higher height. Then, the forklift pallet 4 and the aluminum plate 8 carried by the load-bearing assembly 2 can be lifted vertically, that is, the aluminum plate 8 is transported to the loading port of the processing equipment to complete the feeding work.

[0023] Unlike existing technologies, the supporting assembly 2 includes a supporting plate 204 and a lifting frame 206 located below the supporting plate 204 and connected to the lifting assembly 9. The supporting plate 204 has multiple transmission rollers 205 distributed along the transport direction of the aluminum plate 8. Each transmission roller 205 has two guide frames 301. Each guide frame 301 has a flared plate 303 facing the feeding direction of the aluminum plate 8. Both guide frames 301 are U-shaped, and the guide frames 301 extend above the transmission rollers 205 to form a transmission groove 1. 0. The transmission groove 10 can guide the support leg 401 of the forklift pallet 4 so that the forklift pallet 4 remains aligned with the feed inlet during movement. The flared end of the horn plate 303 is set towards the transmission component 5. During the transmission of the forklift pallet 4 and aluminum plate 8 placed crookedly by the transmission component 5, the horn plate 303 presses against the support leg 401 of the forklift pallet 4 as the transmission proceeds, thereby causing the forklift pallet 4 to gradually enter the guide frame 301, completing the correction of the forklift pallet 4 and aluminum plate 8.

[0024] The lifting frame 206 and the bearing plate 204 are provided with a sliding support rail 203 and a support slide bar 202. The two support rails 203 are respectively fixed on both sides of the lower surface of the bearing plate 204 along the transmission direction of the aluminum plate 8, and the two support slide bars 202 are fixed on the lifting frame 206. The bearing plate 204 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 201 rotatably located at the center of the lifting frame 206, which facilitates the operator to adjust the lateral position of the bearing plate 204 so that the bearing plate 204 and the guide frame 301 can adapt to the lateral position changes of the feed inlet of different equipment.

[0025] The lifting frame 206 is provided with threaded holes at all four corners that are threaded to the studs 207 of the lifting assembly 9. The four threaded holes and studs 207 make it easy for the staff to adjust the level of the lifting frame 206 according to the situation, so as to carry out stable feeding of the aluminum plate 8.

[0026] Two guide frames 301 slide axially along multiple transmission rollers 205, and the two guide frames 301 are respectively threadedly connected to bidirectional screws 302 rotatably mounted on the bearing plate 204. The bidirectional screws 302 can facilitate the worker to adjust the distance between the two guide frames 301 to accommodate different forklift pallets 4 and the support legs 402 of the forklift pallet 4, so as to guide the movement of the aluminum plate 8 and the forklift pallet 4 on the multiple transmission rollers 205, so that the aluminum plate 8 and the forklift pallet 4 are stably aligned with the loading port, thereby reducing the process of manual pushing and moving by the worker.

[0027] The bottom inner wall of the guide frame 301 is set lower than the transfer roller 205, so that the transfer roller 205 can contact the forklift pallet 4 to transfer the forklift pallet 4 and the aluminum plate 8 to the edge of the support plate 204 facing the feed inlet.

[0028] An elastic pad is provided on the vertical inner wall of the guide frame 301. The inner wall of the elastic pad is provided with a smooth layer and the elastic pad is made of rubber. In this way, during the process of correcting the position of the forklift pallet 4 and the aluminum plate 8, the vibration caused by the collision between the forklift pallet 4 and the guide frame 301 is reduced, thereby reducing the probability of the overall position of the aluminum plate 8 shifting.

[0029] Multiple transmission rollers 205 are equipped with transmission components 6 at their ends. The transmission components 6 include sprockets 604 at the ends of the multiple transmission rollers 205. The multiple sprockets 604 are driven by chains 605 in an alternating manner, thereby enabling the multiple transmission rollers 205 to rotate synchronously and stably in the same direction to transport the forklift pallet 4 and aluminum plate 8 to the end of the support plate 204 away from the transmission components 5. Subsequently, with the vertical movement of the lifting components 9 and the lifting frame 206, the alignment of the aluminum plate 8 with the feed inlet can be completed to complete the loading work. Specifically, only half of the transmission rollers 205 facing the transmission components 5 are equipped with sprockets 604 to avoid the occurrence of the forklift pallet 4 and aluminum plate 8 falling off the support plate 204 due to continuous transmission. It also reduces the possibility of the forklift pallet 4 and aluminum plate 8 colliding with the support frame 1 due to exceeding the support plate 204 when the lifting components 6 lift the vertical displacement of the forklift pallet 4 and aluminum plate 8.

[0030] A driven gear 603 is provided at the end of the transmission roller 205 near the transmission assembly 5. The driven gear 603 meshes with the intermediate gear 602 provided on the support plate 204, and the intermediate gear 602 cooperates with the driving gear 601 provided on the transmission assembly 5. When the support plate 204 is lowered to a suitable position by the lifting assembly 9, the driving gear 601 and the intermediate gear 602 will mesh, thereby causing the power of the transmission assembly 5 to be transmitted to the driven gear 603 after being redirected, so that multiple transmission rollers 205 and the transmission assembly 5 rotate in the same direction to transmit the forklift pallet 4 and the aluminum plate 8.

[0031] The end of the bearing plate 204 facing away from the transmission assembly 5 is provided with a baffle 7. The baffle 7 can block the continuous transport of the forklift pallet 4, that is, the forklift pallet 4 slips on multiple transmission rollers 205, and then the operation of the transmission assembly 5 can be stopped. After that, the loading can be completed by lifting assembly 9. The height of the baffle 7 is lower than the top surface of the forklift pallet 4, so that the multiple aluminum plates 8 placed on the placement plate 401 can be aligned with the loading port.

[0032] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications or variations within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the substantive content of this utility model.
