Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated production technology, specifically to an automated production line for sheet material preforming. Background Technology

[0002] An automated sheet preforming production line refers to a production line capable of automating the preforming process of sheet materials. This line typically consists of multiple automated devices, including a feeding machine, sheet conveyor, forming machine, and trimming machine. In this line, the sheet material is first fed into a spot welding machine via the feeding machine, then into a cutting machine for cutting, and finally fed into a forming press by a robot. The forming machine, equipped with molds, presses the material into the desired sheet shape. After forming, the sheet material is fed to an unloading table for cooling, and then manually transferred to a trimming machine for trimming. The entire production line operation can be automated through a control system. The control system can automatically adjust the equipment's operating speed and mode according to preset process parameters to ensure stable operation and consistent product quality. The advantages of an automated sheet preforming production line include increased production efficiency, reduced manual operation, lower labor costs, and improved product quality. Furthermore, this production line can be customized to meet the production needs of sheet materials of different specifications and shapes.

[0003] Currently, preform production is done manually, which is cumbersome and labor-intensive. As market demand increases, manual production efficiency can no longer meet capacity requirements. Therefore, in order to improve production efficiency and reduce manual workload, the existing preform production equipment needs to be replanned and redesigned to achieve production automation, meet production needs, and the design should adhere to the principles of compact layout and optimal efficiency.

[0014] 1. This device automates all processes from unwinding, spot welding, cutting, baking, transfer, molding to trimming through the coordinated operation of its various units. This reduces manual labor, improves production efficiency, and meets capacity requirements. The unwinding unit's correction mechanism corrects the material sheet during unwinding, ensuring accurate material delivery and facilitating precise subsequent processes, thus improving product quality.

[0015] 2.

This further optimizes the production process. The grinding robot, which is slidably installed in the trimming room, can grind and trim workpieces. Compared with manual trimming, it can more accurately control the trimming size and quality, improve product consistency and overall quality. The negative pressure dust collector in the trimming unit can remove the dust generated during the trimming process in a timely manner, keep the working environment clean, reduce the impact of dust on the health of operators, and also facilitate the normal operation and maintenance of the equipment.

[0016] 3. The units are installed sequentially from left to right, with a compact layout that reduces the floor space occupied by the production line and improves space utilization. It also facilitates the connection between equipment and the transfer of materials, which is conducive to achieving efficient production.

[0035] The spot welding unit 200 includes a spot welding platform 201, which is placed on the upper surface of the spot welding unit 200. A pressure plate 202 is provided above the spot welding platform 201, and a movable spot welding head 203 is installed on the top of the pressure plate 202.

[0036] The cutting unit 300 includes a conveyor belt unloading area 301, which is located on the left end of the surface of the cutting unit 300. A cutting area 302 is located on the right end of the surface of the cutting unit 300. A three-axis cutting blade 303 is installed in the middle of the top of the cutting unit 300.

[0037] The baking unit 400 includes an alternating stage 401, which is installed on the left end of the surface of the baking unit 400.

The conveying equipment 104 moves the material sheet to the spot welding platform 201, where it is overlapped and spot welded for cutting. At the same time, the four unwound material sheets are welded together by the moving spot welding head 203. The material sheet that moves to the cutting unit 300 is cut to the required length, and then heated and molded. The cut material sheet is picked up by the upper pick-up device 501 of the robot and placed into the shuttle oven. When the oven is used frequently, the material sheet is placed on the temporary storage table to wait. After heating, the material sheet is moved out of the baking unit 400 to the robot docking station. The robot grips the material sheet and puts it into the four-column press for molding. Then it is ground and trimmed. The preliminarily formed workpiece is placed on the buffer table. The operator goes to the buffer table to pick up the part and determines whether it needs to be replenished. After replenishment, it is sent to the trimming unit 700 for grinding and trimming. After trimming, the operator removes the material sheet, and one forming cycle ends.
