Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding equipment, and specifically relates to a feeding device for a folding machine. Background Technology

[0002] The feeding device of the folding machine is a key component that ensures the smooth entry of materials into the processing area. Through reasonable structural design and advanced control system, the feeding device can achieve efficient material conveying, adsorption and fixation, and precise positioning.

[0003] Existing folding machine feeding devices typically include a moving mechanism mounted on the frame, with an adsorption mechanism at the bottom. During operation, the adsorption mechanism adsorbs the material, and the moving mechanism then moves the adsorbed material, thus completing the material transport. However, the adsorption mechanism cannot be adjusted and can only adsorb materials of a fixed size. When the material is large, the adsorption heads are too concentrated, making the material prone to deformation during transport, resulting in material loss and substandard products. In such cases, operators need to replace the adsorption device with one of a larger adsorption area. This method, requiring frequent replacement of different sized adsorption devices, is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and reduces the device's transport efficiency, failing to meet user needs. Therefore, a new feeding device for folding machines is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a feeding device for a folding machine. It not only meets the basic requirements for feeding materials, but also allows for adjustment of the adsorption mechanism through an adjustment mechanism. This enables the adsorption mechanism to adsorb workpieces of different sizes, avoiding deformation when adsorbing large workpieces. It saves time and effort, improves the conveying efficiency of the device, and meets people's usage needs.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a feeding device for a folding machine, including a square frame, a moving mechanism on the square frame, two crossbars on the moving mechanism, two electric telescopic rods at the bottom of the two crossbars respectively, a lifting plate at the bottom of the four electric telescopic rods, an adjusting mechanism on the lifting plate, and an adjusting module on the lifting plate. The adjusting mechanism includes a groove at the bottom of the lifting plate, two sliders inside the groove, a bidirectional lead screw passing through the sliders inside the groove, a placement plate at the bottom of the two sliders, and multiple suction heads at the bottom of the two placement plates. The top is equipped with a drive mechanism connected to a bidirectional lead screw. The adjustment module includes two square holes on the front and rear sides of the lifting plate. Guide rods are installed inside the four square holes. Moving plates are installed at the front and rear ends of the two front guide rods and the two rear guide rods, respectively. Placement blocks are installed at the bottom of the two moving plates. Multiple suction heads are installed at the bottom of the two placement blocks. U-shaped plates are installed at the left ends of the two moving plates. Connecting rods are hinged inside the two U-shaped plates. An H-shaped plate is hinged at the end of the two connecting rods away from the U-shaped plates. A push plate is installed at the top of the H-shaped plate. A cylinder connected to the push plate is installed at the top of the lifting plate.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the drive mechanism includes a gear one disposed at the end of the bidirectional lead screw, a support plate disposed on the top of the lifting plate, a rotating shaft disposed on the support plate, a gear two disposed at the end of the rotating shaft meshing with the gear one, a first rotary motor disposed on the front side of the support plate and connected to the rotating shaft, the first rotary motor being connected to the bidirectional lead screw via a coupling, and the moving mechanism including two slides disposed on the left and right sides of the frame, each slide containing two sliding bodies connected to a crossbar, a lead screw passing through the sliding body disposed in the left slide, and a guide post passing through the sliding body disposed in the right slide, a second rotary motor connected to the lead screw disposed on the rear side of the frame, the second rotary motor being connected to the lead screw via a coupling.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a vertical moving mechanism is provided on the frame. The vertical moving mechanism includes support rods at the four corners of the frame. A cylinder is provided at the bottom of each of the four support rods. Reinforcing ribs connected to the cylinders are provided on the four support rods. Connecting plates are provided between the two cylinders on the left and the two cylinders on the right. Rollers are provided at the bottom of each of the four cylinders. Adjusting plates are provided at the outer ends of each of the four cylinders. Support feet are provided on each of the four adjusting plates. A switch is provided on the front side of the cylinder on the left front end. The switch is electrically connected to the first rotary motor and the second rotary motor.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0009] Firstly, this design includes a first rotary motor. The rotation of the first rotary motor drives the rotation of the rotating shaft, which in turn drives the rotation of gear two. The rotation of gear two drives the rotation of gear one, which in turn drives the rotation of the double-acting screw, thereby causing the slider inside the chute to move. The movement of the slider causes the placement plate to move, which in turn causes the multiple adsorption heads on the placement plate to move, thus allowing adsorption of materials of different widths. At this time, the operator activates cylinder one, which causes the H-shaped plate to move. The movement of the H-shaped plate causes the connecting rod hinged to it to rotate, which in turn causes the U-shaped plate connected to the moving plate to move, thus causing the guide rod to move inside the square hole. This causes the two moving plates to move the placement block in the back-and-forth direction, thereby expanding the adsorption area for the workpiece.

[0010] Secondly, this design includes multiple electric telescopic rods. The extension and retraction of these rods causes the lifting plate to rise and fall, which in turn causes the adsorption head to rise and fall, thereby adsorbing the workpiece and moving it.

[0011] Thirdly, this design includes a second rotary motor. The rotation of the second rotary motor drives the lead screw to rotate, which in turn moves the slide body inside the slide rail. This causes the crossbar on the slide body to move, thereby moving the workpiece at the bottom of the adsorption head, thus facilitating the loading and unloading of materials.

[0012] Fourth, this design includes multiple cylinders, whose extension and retraction cause the workpiece to rise and fall, thereby cooperating with the electric telescopic rod to transfer the workpiece. Attached Figure Description

[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the adjustment mechanism includes a slide groove 105 located at the bottom of the lifting plate 104. Two sliders 106 are disposed inside the slide groove 105. A bidirectional lead screw 107 passing through the sliders 106 is also disposed inside the slide groove 105.

[0024] How to use this utility model:

[0025] When transferring materials, the operator first starts the second rotary motor 206. The rotation of the second rotary motor 206 drives the lead screw 204 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 204 drives the slide body 202 inside the slide rail 201 to move, thereby moving the crossbar 102 on the slide body 202 so that the suction head 109 is aligned with the top of the workpiece. At this time, the operator starts the second cylinder 208. The movement of the second cylinder 208 drives the frame 101 to rise and fall. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 103 at the bottom of the crossbar 102 works in conjunction with the second cylinder 208 to extend and retract, driving the suction head 109 and suction head 216 to rise and fall. When the suction head 109 and suction head 216 reach the bottom, they adsorb the workpiece. Then, through the coordinated extension and retraction of the second cylinder 208 and the electric telescopic rod 103, the workpiece is moved into the air.

[0026] When the area of ​​the workpiece to be adsorbed is large, the operator starts the first rotary motor 113 to rotate the rotary shaft. The rotation of the rotary shaft drives the second gear 112 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 110 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 110 drives the bidirectional lead screw 107 to rotate, thereby moving the slider 106 inside the slide 105. The movement of the slider 106 moves the placement plate 108, which in turn moves the multiple adsorption heads 109 on the placement plate 108, thus allowing adsorption of materials of different widths. At this time, the operator starts the first cylinder 120. The start of the first cylinder 120 moves the H-shaped plate 118. The movement of the H-shaped plate 118 causes the connecting rod 117 hinged to it to rotate, which in turn moves the U-shaped plate 116 connected to the moving plate 115, causing the guide rod 114 to move inside the square hole. This causes the two moving plates 115 to move the placement block 215 in the back-and-forth direction, thereby expanding the adsorption area of ​​the workpiece.

[0027] After the workpiece is adsorbed, the operator starts the second rotary motor 206. The rotation of the second rotary motor 206 drives the lead screw 204 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 204 drives the slide body 202 inside the slide rail 201 to move, thereby causing the crossbar 102 on the slide body 202 to move, thus causing the workpiece at the bottom of the adsorption head 109 to move. At this time, the workpiece is loaded and unloaded by the cooperation of the electric telescopic rod 103 and the cylinder 208.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
