[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Existing technologies often suffer from reduced sheet metal production efficiency due to difficulties in flexibly adjusting sheet metal storage positions. This embodiment addresses this issue by providing an automatic loading and unloading device for sheet metal processing. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-6 This automatic sheet metal loading and unloading device allows for adjustment of the sheet metal storage height within a certain range, thereby improving storage efficiency and facilitating automatic loading and unloading, thus enhancing sheet metal production efficiency. The device includes a dust removal rack 1, a storage mechanism 2 for stably storing sheet metal on its side, and a fully automatic multi-directional sheet metal grabbing mechanism 3 on its side. The storage mechanism 2 not only stably stores the sheet metal but also allows for adjustment of the storage height within a certain range, improving storage efficiency. The grabbing mechanism 3 can adjust the grabbing position according to actual needs, improving the grabbing effect.

[0030] In the sheet metal production process, fixed racks are typically used to store sheet metal. However, in existing technologies, the storage position of the sheet metal is fixed, making it difficult to adjust the storage height according to actual needs. To address this issue, a storage mechanism 2 includes a storage rack 21. An asynchronous motor 22 is mounted on the storage rack 21, and a transmission rod 23 is rotatably mounted on the storage rack 21. Both ends of the transmission rod 23 are equipped with bevel gears 28, and the two sets of bevel gears 28 mesh with each other. The rotation of the transmission rod 23, through the meshing of the two sets of bevel gears 28, drives the lead screw 27 to rotate, facilitating adjustment of the storage position. A geared disc 24 is mounted on the transmission rod 23, and a connecting chain 25 meshing with the geared disc 24 is connected to the output end of the asynchronous motor 22. Several sets of support shaft seats 26 are installed on the upper part of the screw 27, symmetrically distributed at the upper and lower ends of the screw 27, thereby making the rotation of the screw 27 more stable. The screw 27 is rotatably mounted on the support shaft seats 26, and a bevel gear 28 is installed on the screw 27. A lifting seat 29 is threadedly connected to the screw 27, and a storage rack 210 is installed on the lifting seat 29. Several sets of sliding rails 211 connected to the storage rack 210 are installed on the storage rack 210. A load-bearing component 201 for stable placement of sheet metal is provided on the side of the dust removal rack 1. Through the operation of the asynchronous motor 22, the transmission rod 23 is rotated under the cooperation of the gear plate 24 and the connecting chain 25. Under the connection of the bevel gear 28, the screw 27 is rotated. Then, under the support of the support shaft seats 26, the lifting seat 29 moves up and down on the outer wall of the screw 27, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the stored sheet metal and improves the storage efficiency of the sheet metal.

[0031] During sheet metal storage, it is typically placed on a flat surface. Since the flat surface is in constant contact with the sheet metal, prolonged use can easily cause damage to the contact surfaces. To address this issue, the load-bearing component 201 includes a placement platform 2011. Several sets of buffer components 2012 are installed on the placement platform 2011. These buffer components 2012 are arranged in an array on the placement platform 2011, providing support for the sheet metal and improving its stability. Furthermore, their silicone material increases friction with the sheet metal, enhancing its stability during placement. The multiple sets of buffer components 2012 increase friction with the sheet metal, and because they are made of silicone, they also protect the sheet metal and improve its stability during placement.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-6As shown, based on the problem that the existing technology does not allow for flexible adjustment of the sheet metal storage position, thus reducing sheet metal production efficiency, and the existing sheet metal picking and placing equipment does not easily grasp and move the sheet metal in all directions, thereby reducing sheet metal production efficiency, this device is also equipped with an automatic all-round sheet metal picking and placing structure.

[0034] In the sheet metal production process, a pick-and-place structure is usually used to clamp the sheet metal, which makes it difficult to pick up and place sheet metal in different positions, thus reducing the production efficiency of sheet metal. In order to solve the above problems, The material handling mechanism 3 includes a fixed frame 31, a support rail 32 mounted on the fixed frame 31, a mounting cover 33 slidably connected to the fixed frame 31, and a number of support rollers 34 slidably connected to the support rail 32 mounted on the mounting cover 33. The support rollers 34 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the mounting cover 33, so that the mounting cover 33 can move stably under the limiting support of the support rollers 34. A drive motor 35 is mounted on the mounting cover 33, and a gear 36 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 35. A toothed plate 37 that meshes with the gear 36 is mounted on the fixed frame 31. A hydraulic cylinder 38 is mounted on the mounting cover 33, and a connecting frame 39 is mounted on the hydraulic cylinder 38. A plug 310 adapted to the storage rack 210 is mounted on the connecting frame 39. The width of the plug 310 is the same as the width of the storage rack 210, which facilitates accurate picking and placing of sheet metal. The drive motor 35 drives the gear 36 to rotate, and with the connection of the gear plate 37, the mounting cover 33 moves laterally stably under the support of the support roller 34 and the support rail 32. Furthermore, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 38 can adjust the longitudinal direction of the insert 310, thereby enabling the picking and placing of sheet metal at different positions and improving the production efficiency of sheet metal.
