Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transfer technology, specifically to a material conveying platform and a stamping production line. Background Technology
[0002] In the material stamping production process, the equipment used comes from different manufacturers. Operators need to manually position the workpiece onto the stamping machine, start the stamping operation, and after the first stamping machine finishes, manually remove the workpiece from the die platform of the first machine, move it to the second machine, position and stamp it again, and so on. After the second machine finishes stamping, the workpiece is removed and moved to the third machine. This workflow is complex, involves many manual steps, and results in long waiting times for finished products. Operators also need to travel back and forth between machines, covering long distances, which can easily lead to operator fatigue, unstable material quality, and reduced efficiency and capacity. Furthermore, because the stamping machines differ, the production line produces many different items with varying sizes and manufacturing processes, making it difficult to transfer materials between adjacent stamping machines using ordinary robotic arms. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a material handling platform that can be applied to automated stamping production lines, reduce tedious personnel movement, reduce movement operation time, improve work efficiency and production capacity, and at the same time meet the needs of different products, different sizes and different processes.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A material conveying platform is set between two adjacent extrusion and extraction devices, including a frame, a flipping and translating adsorption plate, a lifting adsorption plate, and a handling robot. The flipping and translating adsorption plate, the lifting adsorption plate, and the handling robot are all connected to the frame. The flipping and translating adsorption plate can flip and translate relative to the frame, the lifting adsorption plate can lift and lower relative to the frame, and the handling robot can translate, lift, and rotate relative to the frame.
[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This material handling platform can be applied to the material handling and transfer between two adjacent extrusion machines. For materials that do not need to be flipped or rotated, the handling robot moves the material from one extrusion machine to the next through translation, lifting, and gripping. For materials that need to be rotated but not flipped, the handling robot moves the material from one extrusion machine to the next through translation, lifting, gripping, and rotation. For materials that need to be flipped but not rotated, the handling robot moves the material from one extrusion machine to the flipping and translating adsorption plate through translation, lifting, and gripping. The material is rotated and moved horizontally by a tilting and shifting adsorption plate to a lifting adsorption plate. The lifting adsorption plate rises and picks up the material, and then a handling robot moves the material from the lifting adsorption plate to the next forming and drawing machine through translation, lifting, and gripping. For materials that need both rotation and tilting, the handling robot moves the material from the previous forming and drawing machine to the tilting and shifting adsorption plate, which then rotates and moves the material to a lifting adsorption plate. The lifting adsorption plate rises and picks up the material, and then a handling robot moves the material from the lifting adsorption plate to the next forming and drawing machine through translation, lifting, gripping, and rotation. Therefore, this material handling platform can be applied to automated stamping production lines, reducing tedious personnel movement, reducing walking time, improving work efficiency and capacity, and meeting the needs of different product categories and processes. In addition, this material handling platform uses an adsorption plate to adsorb and fix the materials, so that it can be used directly without adjusting the position of the receiving tray when changing items, thus meeting the production needs of materials of different sizes.
[0006] In the aforementioned material handling platform, the flipping and translating adsorption plate can move relative to the frame along the X-axis, the lifting adsorption plate can move relative to the frame along the Z-axis, and the handling robot can move relative to the frame along the X, Y, and Z axes.
[0007] The aforementioned material conveying platform has an X-axis guide rail on its frame, a slider slidably connected to the X-axis guide rail, a rotary drive component fixedly mounted on the slider, and a flip-shifting adsorption plate fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary drive component.
[0008] In the aforementioned material conveying platform, a connecting block is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotary drive component, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom centerline of the flipping and translating adsorption plate.
[0009] In the aforementioned material conveying platform, the top of the connecting block has an abutting plane, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the flipping and translating adsorption plate through the abutting plane.
[0010] The material conveying platform described above has a sensor on the side of the slider.
[0011] The material handling platform described above has a stop post at the end of the X-axis guide rail.
[0012] The material handling platform described above uses an adsorption-type robotic arm.
[0013] The material handling platform described above includes a handling robot arm with a mounting frame on which multiple suction cups are connected. Each suction cup can be adjusted in position on the mounting frame along the X-axis and Y-axis directions.
[0014] In the aforementioned material handling platform, the suction cup is connected to the mounting frame via an installation strip. The installation strip has an X-axis slide groove, and the mounting frame has a Y-axis slide groove. An adjusting column is slidably and fixedly connected within the Y-axis slide groove, and the lower end of the adjusting column is slidably and fixedly connected to the X-axis slide groove.
[0015] This utility model also provides a stamping production line, including the aforementioned material conveying platform and multiple drawing and pressing machines, with the material conveying platform provided between each pair of adjacent drawing and pressing machines. Because this stamping production line uses the aforementioned material conveying platform, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects that the aforementioned material conveying platform can bring.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides a material handling platform located between two adjacent extrusion and extraction devices. The platform includes a frame 100, a flipping and translating adsorption plate 200, a lifting adsorption plate 300, and a handling robot 400. The flipping and translating adsorption plate 200, the lifting adsorption plate 300, and the handling robot 400 are all connected to the frame 100. The flipping and translating adsorption plate 200 can flip and translate relative to the frame 100, the lifting adsorption plate 300 can lift and lower relative to the frame 100, and the handling robot 400 can translate, lift, and rotate relative to the frame 100.
[0023] This material handling platform can be used for material transfer between two adjacent extrusion machines. For materials that do not require flipping or rotation, the handling robot 400 transfers the material from one extrusion machine to the next through translation, lifting, gripping, and grasping. For materials that require rotation but not flipping, the handling robot 400 transfers the material from one extrusion machine to the next through translation, lifting, gripping, and rotation. For materials that require flipping but not rotation, the handling robot 400 transfers the material from one extrusion machine to the flipping and translating suction plate 200 through translation, lifting, and gripping, where the flipping and translating suction plate 200 flips and translates the material. Above the lifting adsorption plate 300, the lifting adsorption plate 300 rises and receives the material. Then, the handling robot 400, through translation, lifting, and gripping, transfers the material from the lifting adsorption plate 300 to the next forming and drawing machine. For materials that need to both rotate and flip, the handling robot 400, through translation, lifting, and gripping, transfers the material from the previous forming and drawing machine to the flipping and translational adsorption plate 200. The flipping and translational adsorption plate 200 flips the material and moves it to above the lifting adsorption plate 300. The lifting adsorption plate 300 rises and receives the material. Then, the handling robot 400, through translation, lifting, gripping, and rotation, transfers the material from the lifting adsorption plate 300 to the next forming and drawing machine. Therefore, this material handling platform can be applied to automated stamping production lines, reducing tedious personnel movement, reducing walking time, improving work efficiency and capacity, while also meeting the needs of different product categories and processes. In addition, this material handling platform uses an adsorption plate to adsorb and fix the materials, so that it can be used directly without adjusting the position of the receiving tray when changing items, thus meeting the production needs of materials of different sizes.
[0024] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 3The flip-and-translate adsorption plate 200 can move relative to the frame 100 along the X-axis, the lifting adsorption plate 300 can move relative to the frame 100 along the Z-axis, and the handling robot 400 can move relative to the frame 100 along the X, Y, and Z axes. Further, the frame 100 is provided with an X-axis guide rail 110, and a slider 120 is slidably connected to the X-axis guide rail 110. A rotary drive component 130 is fixedly mounted on the slider 120, and the flip-and-translate adsorption plate 200 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary drive component 130. The sliding of the slider 120 along the X-axis guide rail 110 can be driven by a screw and nut mechanism. When the slider 120 slides along the X-axis guide rail 110, it can transfer the flip-and-translate adsorption plate 200 and the material on it to above the lifting adsorption plate 300. After the lifting adsorption plate 300 rises and aligns, the flip-and-translate adsorption plate 200 releases the material, and the lifting adsorption plate 300 adsorbs and fixes the material. Furthermore, a stop post 150 is provided at the end of the X-axis guide rail 110 to prevent the slider 120 from slipping off the end of the Z-axis guide rail 110. Furthermore, a sensor 160 is provided on the side of the slider 120, and a corresponding sensing position is provided on the frame 100. When the sensor 160 passes, the sliding position of the flip-translation adsorption plate 200 can be determined, so as to facilitate the next step.
[0025] Furthermore, a connecting block 140 is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotary drive 130. The connecting block 140 is fixedly connected to the bottom centerline of the flip-shift adsorption plate 200. Connecting the flip-shift adsorption plate 200 via the connecting block 140 increases the connection area on the flip-shift adsorption plate 200, thereby improving the connection strength. Being connected to the bottom centerline of the flip-shift adsorption plate 200 allows the flip-shift adsorption plate 200 to rotate around the center, making the rotation more balanced and effortless, and preventing material from loosening. Furthermore, the top of the connecting block 140 has an abutment plane, through which the connecting block 140 is fixedly connected to the flip-shift adsorption plate 200, further improving the connection stability between the rotary drive 130 and the flip-shift adsorption plate 200.
[0026] Furthermore, the handling robot 400 is an adsorption-type robot, which grasps materials by adsorption and can be used to handle materials of different sizes. Further, refer to... Figure 4The handling robot 400 includes a mounting frame 410, on which multiple suction cups 440 are connected. Each suction cup 440 can be adjusted in position on the mounting frame 410 along the X-axis and Y-axis directions, facilitating the adjustment of the distribution of multiple suction cups 440 to find a more suitable distribution pattern for each item and meet handling requirements. Furthermore, the suction cups 440 are connected to the mounting frame 410 via mounting strips 420. The mounting strips 420 have X-axis grooves 421, and the mounting frame 410 has Y-axis grooves 411. An adjusting column 430 is slidably and fixedly connected within the Y-axis groove 411, and the lower end of the adjusting column 430 is slidably and fixedly connected to the X-axis groove 421. When the adjusting column 430 is released within the Y-axis slide groove 411, it slides within the groove, causing the mounting strip 420 to move along the Y-axis, thereby adjusting the Y-axis position of the suction cup 440 relative to the mounting bracket 410. After adjustment, the adjusting column 430 is locked. When the adjusting column 430 is released within the X-axis, the mounting strip 420 moves along the X-axis. The X-axis slide groove 421 then slides relative to the adjusting column 430 along the X-axis, adjusting the X-axis position of the suction cup 440 relative to the mounting bracket 410. After adjustment, the adjusting column 430 is locked. Furthermore, the locking and unlocking of the adjusting column 430 can be achieved using a nut.

Because this stamping production line uses the aforementioned material conveying platform, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects that the aforementioned material conveying platform can bring.
