Each example is provided to explain the present invention and not to limit it. In fact, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made to the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit thereof. For example, features shown or described as part of one embodiment may be used with another embodiment to produce yet another embodiment. Therefore, the present invention is intended to cover these modifications and variations that fall within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0022] Figure 1 The diagram illustrates the structure of one embodiment of the corrugated sheet loading fixture of this utility model. The corrugated sheet loading fixture is an important device to ensure the smooth progress of the corrugated sheet to the next process (zinc removal and welding of the corrugated sheet lap weld). The corrugated sheet can be further selected as a galvanized corrugated sheet used as the wall of the quay crane machine room. The length of the corrugated sheet can be selected from 3.5 to 12 m.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the corrugated sheet loading fixture of this utility model includes a vacuum generating structure and a sponge suction cup 400. The vacuum generating structure includes a vacuum chamber 100, a connecting pipe 200, and a vacuum generator 300. Multiple vacuum chambers 100 are arranged side-by-side. Each vacuum chamber 100 contains a vacuum cavity (not shown). The vacuum cavity is an empty cavity with a certain volume.

[0024] The connecting pipe 200 connects to the adjacent vacuum chamber 100, and the connecting pipe 200 is in communication with the vacuum chamber so that multiple vacuum chambers are interconnected.

[0025] The vacuum generator 300 is connected to the vacuum chamber to extract gas from the vacuum chamber. The vacuum generator 300 can be an air compressor.

[0026] The vacuum chamber 100 is provided with an opening 110, which communicates with the vacuum cavity, allowing the vacuum cavity to connect with the outside. A sponge suction cup 400 is provided in the vacuum chamber 100, and the sponge suction cup 400 is provided with a mating hole 410, which corresponds to the opening 110 of the vacuum chamber 100.

[0027] The corrugated plate is placed below the vacuum chamber 100. The vacuum generator 300 can extract gas from the vacuum chamber to generate negative pressure, and the mating hole 410 of the sponge suction cup 400 forms a vacuum state, thereby causing the sponge suction cup 400 to adhere to the corrugated plate.

[0028] The corrugated sheet loading fixture of this utility model uses a sponge suction cup 400 to adsorb the corrugated sheet and then moves it according to the control program to realize the automatic loading and overlapping of the corrugated sheet. This improves the efficiency of automated production, reduces the input of manpower and material resources, lowers production costs, shortens the production cycle, and greatly reduces the impact of personnel in the production process, thus truly realizing automated production.

[0029] The connecting pipe 200 includes a straight pipe section 210 and a bend section 220, and the straight pipe section 210 and the vacuum chamber 100 can be connected by bolts.

[0030] The corrugated sheet loading fixture of this invention, through detailed design, can complete the adsorption and loading of corrugated sheets according to their shape characteristics.

[0031] The number of vacuum chambers 100 can be selected as follows: Figure 1 The seven shown can also be other quantities, which can be determined according to the actual situation of the corrugated plate parameters such as weight.

[0032] In one embodiment, the extending direction of the vacuum chamber 100 is defined as a first direction X, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction X is defined as a second direction Y. The extending direction of the corrugated plate is the extending direction of the corrugated structure of the corrugated plate, i.e., the second direction Y. Multiple openings 110 are sequentially spaced along the first direction X. Multiple sponge suction cups 400 are present, and each sponge suction cup 400 corresponds one-to-one with an opening 110. Figure 2 As shown, there are a total of eight openings 110 in each vacuum chamber 100. Of course, the number and arrangement of openings 110 in the vacuum chamber 100 can also be other, as long as they meet the requirements for safe adsorption of corrugated plates and lifting. This utility model does not impose any restrictions.

[0033] Furthermore, every two openings 110 form a group, and each group mates with the mating hole 410 of the sponge suction cup 400, i.e. Figure 2 The sponge suction cup 400 shown has a mating hole 410 that covers at least two openings 110. The mating hole 410 of the sponge suction cup 400 has a large area, which can improve the adsorption force on the corrugated plate.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the sponge suction cup 400 has multiple mating holes 410, and each mating hole 410 covers the openings 110 of two vacuum chambers 100. Figure 2In the sponge suction cups 400 shown, each sponge suction cup 400 is a rounded rectangle. The sponge suction cups 400 are fixedly disposed on the lower surface of the vacuum chamber 100. The sponge suction cups 400 disposed on adjacent vacuum chambers 100 are fixedly connected. Optionally, the sponge suction cups 400 are adhesively bonded to the lower surface of the vacuum chamber 100, and the sponge suction cups 400 disposed on adjacent vacuum chambers 100 are adhesively connected.

[0035] In one embodiment, the mating hole 410 of the sponge suction cup 400 is adapted to the corrugated structure of the corrugated plate. Further, the corrugated cross-section of the corrugated plate is trapezoidal. The extension length of the mating hole 410 of the sponge suction cup 400 corresponds to the width of the upper bottom surface of the trapezoidal corrugated section, thereby achieving a better adsorption effect on the corrugated plate. The extension length of the mating hole 410 is the length of the mating hole 410 in the first direction X.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the corrugated sheet loading fixture further includes a main pipe 500. The main pipe 500 is disposed in a vacuum chamber 100 and communicates with the vacuum cavity. The main pipe 500 is connected to a vacuum generator 300.

[0037] In one embodiment, the corrugated sheet loading fixture further includes a positioning element 600. The positioning element 600 is adapted to the corrugated structure of the corrugated sheet. Multiple positioning elements 600 are disposed on the side of the vacuum chamber 100 to position the corrugated sheet. Figure 1 As shown, the cross-section of the positioning element 600 is an inverted trapezoid to fit the corrugated plate. The number of positioning elements 600 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, there are four positioning components 600, which are fixedly installed on the side of the vacuum chamber 100.

[0038] Each vacuum chamber is interconnected via connecting pipes 200 to form a whole. Gas is then extracted from the vacuum chambers via the main pipe 500 and a vacuum generator 300, causing the sponge portion to press down. This creates a vacuum between the sponge suction cup 400 and the opening 110 of the vacuum chamber 100. The sponge suction cup 400 then adheres to the corrugated plate, lifting and hoisting it. After adhesion, the motor 700 moves the corrugated plate laterally and longitudinally. Figure 3 As shown.

[0039] The corrugated plate welding device of this utility model includes a corrugated plate loading fixture, a loading trolley (not shown), and a corrugated plate conveying fixture (not shown) as described in any of the above embodiments. The loading trolley is used to transport the corrugated plate to the loading position. The corrugated plate loading fixture is used to absorb the corrugated plate located at the loading position and place it on the corrugated plate conveying fixture. The corrugated plate conveying fixture is used to convey the corrugated plate to the welding position.

[0040] This utility model presents a corrugated sheet loading fixture designed for use in automated production lines, enabling automatic feeding of corrugated sheets. This improves automated production efficiency, reduces manpower and material input, lowers production costs, shortens the production cycle, and significantly reduces the impact of human intervention during production, truly achieving automated production without manual intervention. The corrugated sheet is attached to a 400mm sponge suction cup and then moved according to a control program to achieve overlapping feeding.

[0041] The corrugated sheet loading fixture of this utility model achieves fully automated operation without human intervention, thus improving the level of automation. Compared with traditional processes, this device can achieve smooth operation without shaking or impact during the loading process, and can effectively reduce problems such as component deformation during transfer. It reduces the labor force of workers and improves production efficiency. It greatly improves the safety of production operations, eliminating the need for high-risk transportation equipment such as overhead cranes. The positioning is accurate, and the transfer process achieves lateral translation, so the position after transfer does not need to be adjusted again, further improving production efficiency.

Any person skilled in the art can make possible variations and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
