Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal substrate receiving technology, specifically a metal substrate receiving device. Background Technology
[0002] During the processing of metal substrates, especially during operations such as flipping and picking, they are highly susceptible to mechanical stress, temperature changes, or internal material stress, which can cause substrate deformation. This deformation can not only affect the dimensional accuracy and flatness of the substrate, but may also further affect the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent processing steps, and even lead to product scrapping and increased production costs.
[0003] Traditional metal substrate flipping and retrieving devices mostly use robotic arms or clamps to directly hold the edges of the substrate for flipping and moving. While this method is simple and direct, it has several significant drawbacks:
[0004] Improper substrate placement can lead to substrate deformation. During the flipping process, inaccurate movement trajectory and speed control of the robotic arm or clamp, as well as the substrate's own inertia, can easily cause vibration, further exacerbating the risk of substrate deformation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technical solutions, this utility model provides a metal substrate receiving device, which can effectively solve the problem of substrate deformation caused by improper placement operation mentioned in the background art.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a metal substrate receiving device, including a housing, a receiving point provided on the side of the housing, a movable frame connected to the other side of the housing, and a stacking rack for storing substrates placed on the movable frame, including:
[0007] A substrate flipping module includes a support plate, a connecting seat fixed on the support plate, a roller horizontally placed between the connecting seats, a pressure plate above the roller for fixing the edge of the substrate, a first cylinder arranged outward from the inner side of the pressure plate, a second cylinder fixed downward on the movable end of the first cylinder, and a bracket fixed to the movable end of the second cylinder. A horizontal shaft is connected above the pressure plate, and a first motor is connected to one side of the horizontal shaft to rotate it. The substrate is placed in from the receiving point, the rotating roller rolls into the metal substrate, and after being pressed and fixed by the pressure plate and the bracket, the first motor rotates to make the metal substrate stand up.
[0008] The substrate placement module includes a translation platform, a first guide wheel vertically arranged on the side of the translation platform, a second guide wheel arranged on one side of the first guide wheel, and a liftable clamping plate arranged above the first guide wheel. After the substrate flipping module flips the metal substrate, the clamping plate clamps the metal substrate so that the metal substrate is close to the first guide wheel. The translation platform is translated and positioned, the clamping plate descends, and the metal substrate is straightened by the second guide wheel and falls into the stacking rack during the descent.
[0009] The stacking rack transportation module includes a roller, a belt on one side of the roller, a fourth motor for controlling the belt, a track between the belts, a third motor for driving the track, a fourth cylinder for raising and lowering the track, and a base below the fourth cylinder. The stacking rack is delivered above the belt via the roller. At the same time, the track is pushed up by the fourth cylinder to catch one side of the stacking rack. The third motor drives the track to move the stacking rack completely above the belt. Then, the fourth cylinder lowers the track so that the stacking rack is placed on the belt. The fourth motor controls the belt to drag the stacking rack to the placement location.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting seat is equipped with a control second motor, and a chain tooth assembly is provided on one side of the second motor. The rotation of the second motor drives the chain tooth assembly to move, thereby driving the roller to extract the substrate.
[0011] Furthermore, the substrate placement module is provided with four columns, which are vertically arranged at the four outer edges of the stacking rack. A third cylinder is fixedly connected to each column, and the third cylinder is arranged on the column facing the stacking rack. A baffle is connected to the movable end of the third cylinder, and the third cylinder fixed on the column pushes the baffle to clamp and stabilize the stacking rack.
[0012] Furthermore, the fourth cylinder of the stacking rack transport module is provided with balance columns on both sides, and the balance columns are arranged parallel to the fourth cylinder on the base.
[0013] Furthermore, the movable frame is equipped with casters.
[0014] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a third guide wheel, which is arranged in a group opposite to each other on one side of the housing's placement frame. The third guide wheel facilitates the positioning of the placement frame on the side of the housing.
[0015] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a liftable latch, which is located between the third guide wheels. When the movable frame moves to the side of the housing, the latch descends and locks the movable frame.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: through the substrate flipping module, substrate placement module, and stacking rack transportation module, the entire process of metal substrate from receiving and flipping to final placement is automated, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.
[0017] When handling materials such as metal substrates that may have weight and sharp edges, automation devices can effectively reduce the risk of worker injury. For example, substrate flipping modules use rollers, pressure plates, brackets and cylinders to safely flip and fix substrates, avoiding injuries caused by manual operation.
[0018] The substrate placement module utilizes precise control of a translation platform, guide wheels, and clamps to ensure that the metal substrate can be accurately placed on the stacking rack after being flipped, reducing substrate damage or misalignment caused by improper human operation.
[0019] The stacking rack transport module achieves fast and stable transport of the stacking rack through a combination of rollers, belts, tracks and motors. This design improves transport efficiency, ensures the stability of the stacking rack during movement, and prevents the base plate from falling or being damaged during transport.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this disclosure from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. This disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Example
[0033] like Figure 1-9 As shown, this utility model provides a metal substrate receiving device, including a housing 1, a receiving area 2 provided on the side of the housing 1, a movable frame 21 connected to the other side of the housing 1, and a stacking rack 3 placed on the movable frame 21 to store substrates, including:
[0034] The substrate flipping module includes a support plate 4, a connecting seat 5 fixed on the support plate 4, a roller 6 horizontally placed between the connecting seats 5, a pressure plate 7 above the roller 6 for fixing the edge of the substrate, a first cylinder 8 arranged outward from the inner side of the pressure plate 7, a second cylinder 9 fixed downward on the movable end of the first cylinder 8, and a bracket 10 fixed to the movable end of the second cylinder 9. A horizontal shaft column 11 is connected above the pressure plate 7, and a first motor 12 is connected to one side of the horizontal shaft column 11 to make it rotate. The substrate is put in from the receiving point 2, the rotating roller 6 rolls into the metal substrate, and after being pressed and fixed by the pressure plate 7 and the bracket 10, the first motor 12 rotates to make the metal substrate stand up.
[0035] The substrate placement module includes a translation platform 31, a first guide wheel 13 vertically disposed on the side of the translation platform 31, a second guide wheel 18 disposed on the side of the first guide wheel 13, and a liftable clamping plate 15 disposed above the first guide wheel 13. After the substrate flipping module flips the metal substrate, the clamping plate 15 clamps the metal substrate so that the metal substrate is close to the first guide wheel 13. The translation platform 31 is translated and positioned, and the clamping plate 15 descends. During the descent, the metal substrate is straightened by the second guide wheel 18 and falls into the stacking rack 3.
[0036] The stacking rack 3 transport module includes a roller 32, a belt 27 set on one side of the roller 32, a fourth motor 29 controlling the belt 27, a track 30 between the belts 27, a third motor 26 driving the track 30, a fourth cylinder 24 for lifting the track 30, and a base 23 below the fourth cylinder 24. The stacking rack 3 is delivered above the belt 27 via the roller 32. At the same time, the track 30 is pushed up by the fourth cylinder 24 to catch one side of the stacking rack 3. The third motor 26 drives the track 30 to move the stacking rack 3 completely above the belt 27. Then, the fourth cylinder 24 lowers the track 30 so that the stacking rack 3 is placed on the belt 27. The fourth motor 29 controls the belt 27 to drag the stacking rack 3 to the placement location.
[0037] The system utilizes a substrate flipping module, a substrate placement module, and a stacking rack 3 transportation module to achieve fully automated processing of metal substrates from receiving and flipping to final placement, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.
[0038] When handling materials such as metal substrates that may have weight and sharp edges, automated devices can effectively reduce the risk of worker injury. For example, the substrate flipping module safely flips and fixes the substrate through the coordinated action of rollers 6, pressure plates 7, brackets 10 and cylinders, avoiding injuries caused by manual operation.
[0039] The substrate placement module utilizes the precise control of the translation platform 31, guide wheels, and clamping plate 15 to ensure that the metal substrate can be accurately placed on the stacking rack 3 after being flipped, reducing substrate damage or misalignment caused by improper human operation.
[0040] The stacking rack 3 transport module achieves fast and stable transport of the stacking rack 3 through the combination of roller 32, belt 27, track 30 and motor. This design improves transport efficiency, ensures the stability of the stacking rack 3 during movement, and prevents the base plate from falling or being damaged during transport.
[0041] See Figures 3 to 6 The connecting seat 5 is equipped with a control second motor 16. A chain tooth group 20 is provided on one side of the second motor 16. The rotation of the second motor 16 drives the chain tooth group 20 to move, thereby driving the roller 6 to extract the substrate.
[0042] The chain tooth assembly 20 is connected to the roller 6 by a chain. When the second motor 16 rotates, the chain tooth assembly 20 drives the chain to move, which in turn drives the roller 6 to rotate, so that the roller 6 can move at a predetermined speed and direction to achieve accurate extraction of the metal substrate.
[0043] By controlling the rotation speed and direction of the second motor 16, precise control of the rotation speed and direction of the roller 6 can be achieved, enabling the roller 6 to accurately pick up the metal substrate placed in a specific position, thus avoiding misalignment or damage to the substrate during the picking process.
[0044] For metal substrates of different sizes, weights and materials, by adjusting the parameters of the second motor 16 (such as speed, torque, etc.), it can be ensured that the roller 6 can extract with appropriate force and speed, thus improving the adaptability and flexibility of the device.
[0045] The combined use of the second motor 16 and the chain tooth group 20 realizes the automated operation of the roller 6 picking up the base plate. This operation not only reduces the need for manual intervention and reduces labor intensity, but also improves production efficiency and the automation level of the production line.
[0046] In a continuous production environment, the second motor 16 can maintain a stable operating state, providing continuous power support for the roller 6, which enables the roller 6 to continuously pick up the substrate, meeting the production line's requirements for continuous operation.
[0047] See Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 The substrate placement module is provided with four columns 17, which are vertically arranged at the four outer edges of the stacking rack 3. A third cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to each column 17. The third cylinder 19 is arranged on the column 17 facing the stacking rack 3. A baffle 14 is connected to the movable end of the third cylinder 19. The third cylinder 19 fixed on the column 17 pushes the baffle 14 to clamp and stabilize the stacking rack 3.
[0048] The third cylinder 19, fixed on the column 17, achieves the clamping function of the stacking rack 3 through the baffle 14 connected to its movable end. When the third cylinder 19 pushes the baffle 14, the baffle 14 will press against the outside of the stacking rack 3, thereby firmly fixing it in the designated position. This clamping mechanism ensures the stability of the stacking rack 3 during transportation, positioning and placement, and prevents shaking or displacement caused by movement or vibration.
[0049] The third cylinder 19 and the baffle 14 work together to achieve a safe locking of the stacking rack 3. This design prevents the substrate from falling or being damaged due to the instability of the stacking rack 3 during the substrate placement process, thus ensuring the safe operation of the production line.
[0050] The pushing action of the third cylinder 19 and the clamping action of the baffle 14 are both achieved through automated control without human intervention. Automated operation not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces labor intensity and reduces the risk of errors and accidents caused by human factors.
[0051] In the substrate placement module, the cooperation of the column 17, the third cylinder 19 and the baffle 14 can achieve rapid positioning and stable placement of the stacking rack 3, which helps to shorten the substrate placement time cycle and improve the overall operating efficiency of the production line.
[0052] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 The fourth cylinder 24 of the stacking rack 3 transport module is provided with balance columns 25 on both sides, and the balance columns 25 are arranged parallel to the fourth cylinder 24 on the base 23.
[0053] The balance column 25 is arranged parallel to the fourth cylinder 24 on the base 23, providing lateral support for the fourth cylinder 24 and its driven components (such as the track 30, stacking rack 3, etc.). This design enhances the stability of the entire transport module during movement or lifting, and prevents swaying or tilting caused by lateral forces.
[0054] During transportation, especially when the stacking rack 3 is carrying heavy metal substrates, the presence of the balance column 25 helps to prevent the stacking rack 3 from tilting or tipping over due to the shift of the center of gravity, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the transportation process.
[0055] The balance column 25 and the fourth cylinder 24 share the weight and load of the transport module, which helps to distribute the weight and load more evenly on the base 23. By distributing the load, the balance column 25 also helps to reduce the wear and fatigue damage of key components such as the fourth cylinder 24 during operation, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the equipment.
[0056] When lifting or moving the stacking rack 3, the balance column 25 can serve as an auxiliary positioning device to help ensure that the stacking rack 3 can be placed accurately and stably in the designated position. By providing stable support and positioning functions, the balance column 25 helps to reduce operational errors and accuracy loss caused by equipment shaking or offset, thereby improving the overall processing accuracy and product quality of the production line.
[0057] See Figure 7 The movable frame 21 is equipped with casters 22.
[0058] The casters 22 can rotate freely in the horizontal and vertical directions, which allows the movable frame 21 to be easily moved and adjusted in different directions. Due to the flexibility of the casters 22, the movable frame 21 can achieve efficient movement and positioning in a limited space, thereby improving the space utilization of the production line.
[0059] See Figure 9 The housing 1 is provided with a third guide wheel 33. The third guide wheels 33 are arranged in groups and opposite each other on one side of the movable frame 21 of the housing 1. The third guide wheels 33 facilitate the positioning of the movable frame 21 when it is pushed onto the side of the housing 1.
[0060] The third guide wheels 33 are arranged in a group opposite to each other on one side of the movable frame 21 of the housing 1, providing a clear guide path for the movable frame 21 to be pushed in and pulled out. This design ensures that the movable frame 21 can move along a predetermined trajectory during the movement, avoiding operational difficulties or equipment damage caused by deviation or shaking.
[0061] When the movable frame 21 is pushed to the side of the housing 1, the third guide wheel 33 can ensure that the movable frame 21 is accurately positioned in the predetermined position. This positioning function not only improves the convenience of operation, but also ensures the stability and accuracy of the subsequent substrate processing.
[0062] Guided and positioned by the third guide wheel 33, the movable frame 21 can quickly and accurately dock with the housing 1, thereby shortening the operation time and improving the overall work efficiency.
[0063] See Figure 9 The housing 1 is provided with a liftable buckle 34, which is located between the third guide wheels 33. When the movable frame 21 moves to the side of the housing 1, the buckle 34 descends and locks the movable frame 21.
[0064] When the movable frame 21 moves to the side of the housing 1, the latch 34 will descend and lock the movable frame 21, ensuring the stability of the movable frame 21 during operation and preventing the movable frame 21 from moving or shaking due to external forces or equipment vibration.
[0065] The design of the adjustable buckle 34 makes the locking and unlocking process of the movable frame 21 simple and quick. The operator can easily fix and release the movable frame 21 by controlling the lifting of the buckle 34, without the need for additional tools or complicated operations.
