Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sheet metal handling devices, and in particular to a handling device for alloy thin sheets. Background Technology

[0002] Alloy sheet stamping is a forming technology widely used in the metal processing industry, primarily for manufacturing parts of various shapes and sizes. During the stamping process, the alloy sheet needs to be positioned and fixed on the stamping machine. Accurate positioning is crucial for ensuring product quality and improving production efficiency. Typically, the alloy sheet is transported to the vicinity of the stamping machine using forklifts, lifting devices, or other handling equipment. It then needs to be repositioned using a positioning device, and finally, an industrial robotic arm operates a vacuum suction cup to grasp the alloy sheet. Therefore, a handling device that provides positioning functionality for the alloy sheet and facilitates vacuum suction cup grasping is required. Utility Model Content

[0016] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0018] like Figures 1-3As shown, a conveying device for alloy thin plates includes a first carriage 1 and a second carriage 2. Two adjusting rods 3 are fixedly installed at the front end of the second carriage 2. An opening is provided at the rear end of the first carriage 1. The front ends of the adjusting rods 3 are inserted into the opening at the rear end of the first carriage 1. The adjusting rods 3 are detachably fixedly connected to the first carriage 1. Support plates 4 are fixedly installed on the upper surfaces of both the first carriage 1 and the second carriage 2. Positioning blocks 5 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the first carriage 1 and the second carriage 2. The positioning blocks 5 have a protrusion in the middle, which faces the inside of the first carriage 1 and the second carriage 2. The support plate 4 has a groove at the position corresponding to the protrusion of the positioning block 5. The protrusion of the positioning block 5 is placed in the groove of the support plate 4. Raised strips 6 are evenly arranged on the support plate 4.

[0019] Specifically, adjusting the adjusting rod 3 changes the distance between the first and second carriages, which can change the carrying area of ​​the entire device to accommodate alloy plates of different lengths. The positioning block 5 positions the alloy plate, and the protruding strip 6 on the support plate 4 supports the alloy plate.

[0020] A connecting frame 7 is fixedly installed at the front end of the first carriage 1. A steering sleeve 8 is installed at the front end of the connecting frame 7. A steering rod 9 is rotatably inserted through the steering sleeve 8. A limit ring 10 is fixedly installed on the steering rod 9. The limit ring 10 abuts against the top of the steering sleeve 8. A handle 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the steering rod 9. A protective shell 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the steering rod 9. A steering wheel 13 is rotatably connected in the middle of the protective shell 12. An axle is horizontally rotatably inserted through the rear end of the second carriage 2. A travel wheel 14 is fixedly connected to both ends of the axle.

[0021] Specifically, by rotating the handle 11 and turning the steering lever 9, the direction of the steering wheel 13 is adjusted, thereby changing the travel direction of the first carriage 1 and the second carriage 2.

[0022] A proximity switch 15 is mounted on the protrusion of the positioning block 5. The probe of the proximity switch 15 is placed on the surface of the positioning block 5. The lead wire at the bottom of the proximity switch 15 passes through the interior of the first vehicle body 1 and the second vehicle body 2.

[0023] Specifically, proximity switch 15 is used to detect whether the alloy sheet is placed in the correct position.

[0024] It also includes a limiting rod 16. Several external limiting holes 17 are equally spaced on both sides of the first carriage 1, and several internal limiting holes 18 are equally spaced on the adjusting rod 3. The limiting rod 16 is inserted into a pair of the external limiting holes 17 and the internal limiting holes 18.

[0025] Specifically, the distance between the first carriage 1 and the second carriage 2 can be adjusted by inserting the limiting rod 16 into different sets of external limiting holes 17 and internal limiting holes 18.

[0026] The outer limiting hole 17 has an internal thread on its inner wall, and the limiting rod 16 has an external thread. The outer limiting hole 17 and the limiting rod 16 are threadedly connected.

[0027] Specifically, this ensures a more secure connection between the external limiting hole 17, the internal limiting hole 18, and the limiting rod 16.

[0028] The front end of the adjusting rod 3 is provided with a limiting plate 19, the width and height of which are greater than the size of the opening at the rear end of the first carriage 1.

[0029] Specifically, the limiting plate 19 can be engaged in the opening at the rear end of the first carriage 1 to prevent the adjusting rod 3 from slipping out of the first carriage 1.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: adjusting the adjusting rod 3 changes the distance between the first and second carriages, which can change the carrying area of ​​the entire device to accommodate alloy sheets of different lengths. The alloy sheet is placed on the support plate 4, and the position of the alloy sheet is positioned by the positioning block 5. The proximity switch 15 confirms the placement of the alloy sheet. The protruding strips 6 on the support plate 4 support the alloy sheet to prevent it from adhering to the support plate 4. The operator operates the handle 11 to push the device forward, rotates the steering rod 9 to adjust the direction of the steering wheel 13, changes the traveling direction of the first carriage 1 and the second carriage 2, and transports the alloy sheet to the designated position. The industrial robot then uses a vacuum suction cup to grab the alloy sheet and move it to the stamping machine.

[0031] The present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or direct application to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
