Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a feeding device, and more particularly to a flip-type feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing vacuum forming machines use robotic arms for feeding and discharging, with suction cups used for both. During discharging, the suction cups adsorb the waste edges of the formed product. However, the feeding speed is slow, and the formed product must be removed before the board can be fed in. Since the adsorption area corresponding to the waste edges of the formed product is limited, the suction force of the suction cups is insufficient when discharging formed products made of thick boards. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a flip-type feeding device, which is designed to allow the mounting base to rotate and switch between the state of feeding and dispensing sheet metal and the state of feeding and dispensing shaped products, and the feeding and dispensing speed is fast.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This flip-type feeding device includes a movable seat, a mounting seat, clamping arms, a tool for picking up and placing shaped products, and a suction plate. The movable seat moves horizontally and is vertically mounted. The mounting seat is rotatably mounted on the movable seat. The mounting seat has a tool-picking / placing state and a tool-picking / placing-shaped product state. The mounting seat rotates to switch between the tool-picking / placing state and the tool-picking / placing-shaped product state. The clamping arms are located on the left and right sides of the mounting seat, and a receiving space for accommodating the main body of the shaped product is formed between the clamping arms. The tool for picking up and placing shaped products is mounted on the clamping arms, and the suction plate is mounted on the clamping arms. The suction plate has a suction hole. When the mounting seat is in the tool-picking / placing state, the suction hole faces downwards. When the mounting seat is in the tool-picking / placing state, the suction hole faces upwards.

[0005] In this scheme, the suction plate adsorbs the sheet material during feeding, and the mounting base rotates before discharging, with the opening of the accommodating space facing downwards for the main body of the molded product to extend into. During discharging, the molded product is picked up by the pick-and-place component, and then the mounting base rotates to place the sheet material at the molding station. Feeding and discharging are completed by one device, which has a fast feeding speed, a simplified structure, and a compact structure that achieves state switching through rotation.

[0006] Preferably, the product being picked up and placed is a clamping block, and the clamping arm is provided with a clamping power source. The clamping power sources on both sides drive the clamping blocks on both sides to move closer or further away, and the suction hole array is distributed on the suction plate material.

[0007] In this design, the clamping blocks close together to hold the main body of the molded product, providing sufficient clamping force. The array of suction holes provides sufficient suction for the material, making it suitable for thick plates and molded products made from them.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping arm is provided with a bundle sleeve for limiting the air tube.

[0009] In this design, the tubing sleeve limits the air tube, preventing the mounting base from rotating and swinging the air tube.

[0010] Preferably, the lateral movement adjustment of the clamping arm is set on the mounting base, and the longitudinal movement adjustment of the picking and placing of the shaped product and the suction plate material is set on the clamping arm.

[0011] In this design, the clamping arm can be adjusted laterally, and the pick-and-place of shaped product parts and the suction plate can be adjusted longitudinally to accommodate different specifications of sheet metal and shaped products.

[0012] Preferably, the clamping power source is disposed on a vertical mounting plate, and the vertical mounting plate is installed on the inner side of the clamping arm.

[0013] This design achieves a compact structure while ensuring sufficient storage space.

[0014] Preferably, the part to be picked up and placed is a suction cup, the suction cup has a suction hole, the suction hole faces upward when the mounting base is in the state of picking up and placing sheet metal, and the suction hole faces downward when the mounting base is in the state of picking up and placing shaped product.

[0015] In this solution, the waste edges of the molded product are removed by suction cup adsorption.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the mounting base rotates to switch between the state of picking up and placing sheet metal and the state of picking up and placing shaped products, and the feeding and discharging are completed by a single device; the clamping blocks close together to clamp the main body of the shaped product, with sufficient clamping force; the suction holes are distributed in an array, and the suction force for picking up sheet metal is sufficient, which can adapt to thick plates and shaped products made of thick plates. Therefore, this utility model has substantial features and progress compared with the prior art. Attached Figure Description

The movable base 1 is horizontally movable and vertically adjustable. The mounting base 2 is rotatably mounted on the movable base 1 and has two states: picking up and placing sheet metal and picking up and placing shaped product. The mounting base 2 can rotate to switch between these two states. The clamping arms 3 are located on the left and right sides of the mounting base 2, forming a accommodating space for the main body of the shaped product. Space 4, the picking and placing of the formed product part 5 is disposed on the clamping arm 3, the suction plate part 6 is disposed on the clamping arm 3, the suction plate part 6 has a suction hole 7, when the mounting base 2 is in the picking and placing plate state, the suction hole 7 faces downward, when the mounting base 2 is in the picking and placing of the formed product state, the suction hole 7 faces upward, the clamping arm 3 is provided with bundle sleeves 9 for limiting the air tube at intervals, the clamping arm 3 is laterally adjustable on the mounting base 2, the picking and placing of the formed product part 5 and the suction plate part 6 are both longitudinally adjustable on the clamping arm 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, the movable seat 1 moves between the sheet material feeding platform, the vacuum forming machine, and the conveyor belt for the formed product. When picking up the sheet material, the mounting seat 2 is in the sheet material picking and placing state, and the suction plate component 6 adsorbs the sheet material. Before picking up the formed product, the mounting seat 2 rotates to switch to the formed product picking and placing state, with the accommodating space 4 opening downwards for the main body of the formed product to extend into. Then, the forming product picking and placing component 5 picks up the formed product, and the mounting seat 2 rotates to switch to the sheet material picking and placing state to put down the sheet material. Before placing the formed product, the mounting seat 2 rotates to switch to the forming product picking and placing state to put down the formed product. When the sheet material specifications change, the clamping arm 3 moves laterally to adjust the clamping arm 3, and moves longitudinally to adjust the forming product picking and placing and the suction plate component 6. The arrangement of the air pipe is a mature technology. The clamping arm 3 is made of industrial aluminum profile and has a groove for the suction plate component 6 and the forming product picking and placing component 5 to slide and position for connection.
