[0038] In the related art, the equipment for plate carrying in use can only carry solid plates and cannot carry plate-shaped steel frames with hollow structures. When solid plates and plate-shaped steel frames are placed together and carried, a set of equipment for carrying plate-shaped steel frames needs to be additionally provided. This not only increases the overall carrying cost, but also reduces the carrying efficiency.

[0039] To solve the above problems, a plate carrying machine is provided. Figure 1 The plate carrying machine is described. The plate carrying machine can be used to carry solid plates and can also carry plate-shaped steel frames with hollow structures.

[0040] As Figures 1-5 The plate carrying machine includes a support frame 1, a carrying frame 2, a suction cup assembly 3, a clamping mechanism 4, an identification device 5, and a controller. Wherein:

[0041] The support frame 1 has a beam structure and a support foot structure, and the support foot structure is fixedly installed on both sides of the beam structure to support the beam structure.

[0042] The top of the support frame 1 is provided with a moving seat 101, which can move linearly along the transverse direction. The movable structure of the moving seat 101 is that the bottom of the moving seat 101 is provided with a sliding block 103, and the support frame 1 is provided with a sliding rail 102, and the sliding block 103 is slidingly installed on the sliding rail 102. That is, the moving seat 101 can be slidingly installed on the support frame 1.

[0043] In order to realize the automatic movement of the moving seat 101, a moving seat driving motor is fixedly connected to the moving seat 101, a driving gear is installed on the output end of the moving seat driving motor, a rack 104 is provided on the support frame 1, and the driving gear is in meshing transmission with the rack 104 to drive the moving seat 101 to reciprocate.

[0044] The carrying frame 2 is arranged on the moving seat 101, and a lifting mechanism for driving the carrying frame 2 to move up and down is arranged on the moving seat 101. The lifting mechanism includes a carrying frame lifting cylinder, which is installed on the moving seat 101 and has an output end connected to the carrying frame 2. The lifting of the carrying frame lifting cylinder can drive the carrying frame 2 to move up and down relative to the moving seat 101.

[0045] Two vertically arranged guide arms 201 are fixedly installed on the carrying frame 2, and the two guide arms 201 are slidingly installed on both sides of the moving seat 101. Through the cooperation of the carrying frame lifting cylinder and the two guide arms 201, the carrying frame 2 can be driven to lift.

[0046] The suction cup assembly 3 is used for suction of solid plates. The suction cup assembly 3 is in several groups, and the several groups of suction cup assemblies 3 are installed at the bottom of the carrying frame 2. The suction cup assembly 3 can suction the solid plates. Through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism for driving the lifting of the carrying frame 2 and the moving seat 101, the suction cup assembly 3 can carry the solid plates.

[0047] The clamping mechanism 4 is used for clamping plate-shaped steel frames with hollow structures. Since the suction cup assembly 3 can only suction solid plates with solid structures, it cannot suction plate-shaped steel frames with hollow structures. Therefore, the clamping mechanism 4 is used to clamp the plate-shaped steel frames.

[0048] The position of the clamping mechanism 4 is lower than that of the suction cup assembly 3. The clamping mechanism 4 includes a clamping arm 401 and two clamping parts 402. The clamping arm 401 is arranged at the bottom of the carrying frame 2, and the two clamping parts 402 are movably installed on the clamping arm 401 and used for clamping the plates.

[0049] The identification device 5 is arranged at the bottom of the carrying frame 2. The identification device 5 can identify the types of plates, and specifically can identify whether the plates are solid plates or plate-shaped steel frames with hollow structures.

[0050] The controller is electrically connected with the identification device 5, the suction cup assembly 3, and the clamping mechanism 4, and is also electrically connected with other electrical components in the equipment, and is used for cooperative control of the operation of the plate carrying machine. Based on the types of the plates, the controller can control the suction cup assembly 3 or the clamping mechanism 4 to carry the plates.

[0051] In the embodiment, through the cooperation of the moving seat 101 and the carrying frame 2, the carrying frame 2 can move in the length direction of the support frame 1. The carrying frame lifting cylinder on the moving seat 101 can drive the whole carrying frame 2 to move up and down.

[0052] When the identification device 5 identifies that the plate is a solid plate, the controller can control the suction cup assembly 3 at the bottom of the carrying frame 2 to start. The suction cup assembly 3 can suction the solid plate. Then, through the cooperation of the carrying frame lifting cylinder and the moving seat 101, the solid plate can be carried.

[0053] When the identification device 5 identifies that the plate is a plate-shaped steel frame with a hollow structure, the controller can control the clamping mechanism 4 at the bottom of the carrying frame 2 to start. The two clamping parts 402 can move relative to each other and clamp the plate-shaped steel frame with a hollow structure. Then, through the cooperation of the carrying frame lifting cylinder and the moving seat 101, the plate-shaped steel frame with a hollow structure can be carried.

[0054] Compared with the existing carrying equipment, the utility model can carry two types of plate materials of solid plate material and hollow structure plate-shaped steel frame, reduces the overall carrying cost, and improves the working efficiency of carrying.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The position of the clamping mechanism 4 is lower than the position of the suction cup assembly 3. In order to realize the lifting function of the clamping arm 401, the clamping arm 401 is provided with a clamping arm lifting assembly.

[0056] The clamping arm lifting assembly comprises a support plate one 6, a lifting cylinder one 7 and a linkage frame one 8. The support plate one 6 is installed on the carrying rack 2, the lifting cylinder one 7 is installed on the support plate one 6, the bottom of the linkage frame one 8 is fixedly connected to the clamping arm 401, and the output end of the lifting cylinder one 7 is fixedly connected to the linkage frame one 8, so as to drive the linkage frame one 8 and the clamping arm 401 to lift. The linkage frame one 8 is fixedly connected with a guide column 9, and the support plate one 6 is provided with a sliding groove 10, and the bottom of the guide column 9 is slidingly installed in the sliding groove 10.

[0057] In the embodiment, the lifting cylinder one 7 can drive the linkage frame one 8 and the clamping arm 401 to lift as a whole through the cooperation of the lifting cylinder one 7 and the linkage frame one 8. When the hollow structure plate-shaped steel frame needs to be carried, the lifting cylinder one 7 drives the clamping arm 401 to descend, so that the clamping arm 401 is lower than the suction cup assembly 3. At this time, the two clamping parts 402 on the clamping arm 401 can clamp the hollow structure plate-shaped steel frame.

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The two clamping parts 402 are slidingly installed on the clamping arm 401, and the clamping arm 401 is provided with a clamping part driving cylinder 403 on both sides. The output end of the clamping part driving cylinder 403 is fixedly connected to the clamping part 402, so as to drive the two clamping parts 402 to move relative to each other.

[0059] In the embodiment, the clamping part driving cylinder 403 can drive the clamping part 402 to move through the cooperation of the clamping part driving cylinder 403 and the clamping part 402, so that the two clamping parts 402 moving relative to each other can clamp the hollow structure plate-shaped steel frame.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5The lifting control of the identification device 5 is realized so that the identification device 5 identifies the type of the plate. An identification device lifting assembly is arranged between the identification device 5 and the carrying frame 2, which comprises a support plate two 11, a lifting cylinder two 12 and a linkage frame two 13. The support plate two 11 is installed on the carrying frame 2, the lifting cylinder two 12 is installed on the support plate two 11, the linkage frame two 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the identification device 5, and the output end of the lifting cylinder two 12 is fixedly connected to the linkage frame two 13, so as to drive the linkage frame two 13 and the identification device 5 to lift.

[0061] The identification device 5 comprises a mounting frame 501 and a plurality of proximity switches 502. The mounting frame 501 is arranged at the bottom of the carrying frame 2, and the plurality of proximity switches 502 are arranged in a matrix in the mounting frame 501. The plurality of proximity switches 502 are electrically connected to the controller.

[0062] In the embodiment, the solid plate and the plate-shaped steel frame of the hollow structure have significant structural differences. When identifying the type of the plate, the lifting cylinder two 12 is first driven to drive the mounting frame 501 and the proximity switches 502 to descend, so that the proximity switches 502 can be in close contact with the solid plate or the plate-shaped steel frame of the hollow structure. The feedback signals of the proximity switches 502 to the controller are different, so that the lifting of the plurality of proximity switches 502 can be used to detect whether the material to be carried is a plate or a plate-shaped steel frame.

[0063] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 The linkage frame one 8 and the linkage frame two 13 are both provided with a buffer structure. The buffer structures on the linkage frame one 8 and the linkage frame two 13 have the same working principle and structural principle, so the buffer structure on the linkage frame one 8 will be described in detail below, and the buffer structure on the linkage frame two 13 will not be described again.

The top of the linkage frame one 8 is provided with four openings, and the top of the linkage frame one 8 is slidingly installed on the four supporting rods 14. The top end surface of the four supporting rods 14 is fixedly connected with a limiting piece 16. The bottom end of the supporting rod 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the linkage frame one 8. In the embodiment, when the lifting cylinder one 7 drives the linkage frame one 8 to move downward, the four springs 15 provide a reverse force to the top of the linkage frame one 8, so that the lifting cylinder one 7 can drive the linkage frame one 8 to move downward, and in turn drive the clamping arm 401 to move downward. At this time, the four springs 15 can play a buffering role.
