Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical technology, and in particular to an edge-adjusting device for sheet metal roller conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] In modern sheet metal manufacturing, especially on pre-treatment lines, the production process for coated sheets typically includes the following steps: a bridge crane lifts the sheet metal onto a roller conveyor; the sheet metal is then transported via the roller conveyor to a shot blasting process for surface cleaning; subsequently, it enters the painting process; and finally, it undergoes a printing process. Throughout this process, the sheet metal needs to be precisely positioned between each process to ensure its surface quality and processing accuracy.

[0003] However, traditional sheet metal conveyors lack effective sheet metal centering or edge-aligning devices. As a result, when the overhead crane places the sheet metal on the conveyor, it cannot ensure that the sheet metal is in the correct orientation, causing the sheet metal to tilt on the conveyor. Incorrect sheet metal positioning also affects the effectiveness of surface markings on the sheet metal, reducing the product yield. Utility Model Content

[0006] The single-frame mechanism includes a frame base set on top of the left roller conveyor base, a cylinder fixing seat set at the bottom of the right roller conveyor base, a cylinder hinged to the top of the cylinder fixing seat, and a frame with one end hinged to the frame base; the other end of the frame is hinged to the telescopic end of the cylinder; multiple plate rollers are arranged at intervals on the left and right sides of the frame; a proximity switch one is set in the middle of the frame of the front frame mechanism; and a proximity switch two is set on the left side of the frame of the front frame mechanism.

[0007] The edge limiting mechanism includes a mechanism fixing seat, a guide wheel bracket fixedly connected to the right side of the mechanism fixing seat, and a vertical guide wheel disposed on the right side of the guide wheel bracket; the vertical guide wheel is connected and fixed to the guide wheel bracket through guide wheel seats at both ends;

[0008] Furthermore, there are three edge-limiting mechanisms, which are spaced apart between the two platform mechanisms.

[0009] Furthermore, a boss for supporting the guide wheel bracket is provided on the mechanism mounting base.

[0010] Furthermore, a triangular piece is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder, and the cylinder is hinged to the cylinder mounting base through the triangular piece.

[0011] The beneficial effects and features of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention, by incorporating two platform mechanisms and multiple edge-limiting mechanisms, ensures that the sheet metal can be precisely positioned before entering critical processes such as shot blasting, painting, and printing. The design of the vertical guide rollers reduces friction between the sheet metal edge and the device, preventing surface damage caused by friction. Simultaneously, the use of proximity switches enables automated detection and control, guaranteeing stable edge alignment of the sheet metal each time, thereby improving the positioning accuracy.

[0024] This utility model provides an edge-adjusting device for sheet metal roller conveyors, the specific structure and working principle of which are as follows:

[0025] I. Overall Structure

[0026] The sheet material roller conveyor 3 includes a left roller conveyor base 301 and a right roller conveyor base 302, which support the entire conveying system. The sheet material moves along the roller conveyor via the sheet material roller 303 under the drive of the motor 304.

[0027] The gantry mechanism 2 is located in the middle section of the sheet metal roller conveyor, with two gantry mechanisms arranged at intervals. Each gantry mechanism includes:

[0028] Table base 201: Fixed to the top of the left roller conveyor base, serving as the support point for the table.

[0029] Cylinder mounting base 206: Installed on the lower part of the right roller conveyor base, used to fix cylinder 204.

[0030] Cylinder 204: Hinged to the cylinder mounting base via a triangular piece 205, with the telescopic end of the cylinder hinged to one end of the frame 202.

[0031] The frame 202 is hinged at one end to the frame base and at the other end to the telescopic end of the cylinder. Multiple plate rollers 203 are spaced apart on the left and right sides of the frame to support and guide the movement of the plate.

[0032] Proximity switch 207: Installed in the middle of the front-end platform mechanism to detect whether the plate has reached the designated position.

[0033] Proximity switch 208: Installed on the left side of the front-end platform mechanism to detect whether the plate has been properly aligned with the edge.

[0034] Three edge-stopping mechanisms 1 are located on the left side of the left roller conveyor base, spaced apart between the two platform mechanisms. Each edge-stopping mechanism includes:

[0035] Mechanism fixing seat 101: fixed on the left roller base, with a boss 102 for supporting the guide wheel bracket.

[0037] Vertical guide wheel 105: It is fixed to the guide wheel bracket by the guide wheel seats 104 at both ends, and is used to reduce the friction between the edge of the plate and the device.

[0038] II. Working Principle

[0039] When the sheet material is transported from the roller conveyor to the front stand, proximity switch 207 detects the sheet material and sends a signal to the solenoid valve, controlling cylinder 204 to extend and lift one end of stand 202. The sheet material rollers 203 on the stand move the sheet material to the left until it contacts the vertical guide wheel 105. Proximity switch 208 detects the moving sheet material, indicating that it has been moved to the side. Proximity switch 208 then sends a signal to the solenoid valve to de-energize, the cylinder retracts, and the lifted end of the stand is lowered, completing the sheet material's side-by-side movement.
