Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet material conveying and palletizing, specifically to a sheet material transfer and palletizing device for conveying lines in different directions. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, due to the limited space occupied by the factory, if the sheet material conveying line is too long, it is often necessary to adjust the direction of the conveying line to increase the conveying length. A directional transition structure needs to be set between conveying lines in different directions. This directional transition structure is often an arc-shaped conveying structure. However, the actual conveying of this structure is not stable, and it also occupies a very large area.

[0003] Secondly, regarding the palletizing structure, in order to achieve the palletizing of boards, the conveyor line is often set too high, or a pit structure is set at the end of the conveyor line to ensure the automatic lifting function of the boards during palletizing. However, in order to meet the above requirements, setting the conveyor line too high will make it inconvenient for the operator to observe the situation on the conveyor line, and the pit structure will make it inconvenient for subsequent transfer work. Although the above functions can be met by a six-degree-of-freedom robot, it is expensive and has high maintenance costs.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention designs and manufactures a plate transfer and palletizing device for conveyor lines in different directions, thereby overcoming the aforementioned deficiencies. Utility Model Content

When the motor is started, it can drive the vertical rack to lift and lower through the gear. A second transfer bracket is connected to the bottom of the vertical rack, and a second slide rail is provided at the bottom of the second transfer bracket. The second slide rail is aligned with the conveying direction of the second conveyor line.

[0009] The second slide rail has a second connecting frame that slides along it. The second connecting frame is connected to a second linear drive device. The second linear drive device can drive the second connecting frame to slide at the bottom of the second slide rail. At least two horizontal cylinders are provided on each side of the bottom of the second connecting frame. The extension and retraction direction of the horizontal cylinders is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveyor line. The cylinder rod of the horizontal cylinder is connected to an insert plate. When the horizontal cylinders on both sides of the bottom of the second connecting frame drive the insert plate to extend, they can lift the plate on the conveyor roller.

[0010] Preferably, the width of the insert plate is less than the distance between two adjacent conveyor rollers.

[0011] Preferably, there are two second slide rails, and the second connecting bracket is connected to the two second slide rails.

[0021] 1. This utility model achieves the transfer of sheet metal by using two conveyor lines in different directions, and occupies little space. The direction of the sheet metal can also be adjusted accordingly.

The conveying directions of the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line 2 are perpendicular to each other. A first transfer bracket is provided above the second conveyor line 2 and the first stacking rack 3. Two parallel first slide rails 4 are provided on the first transfer bracket. The first slide rails 4 are parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveyor line and extend above the first stacking rack 3.

[0031] This utility model has a first connecting frame 5 sliding on two first slide rails 4. The first connecting frame 5 is connected to a first linear drive device 9. The first linear drive device 9 can drive the first connecting frame 5 to move above the first stacking rack 3 and the first conveyor line. The first connecting frame 5 is equipped with two lifting cylinders 8. The bottom of the two lifting cylinders 8 is equipped with a first lifting frame 7. The bottom of the first lifting frame 7 is equipped with several suction cups 6. The lifting cylinders 8 drive the suction cups 6 to lift and lower, which can pick up the plates on the first stacking rack 3, thereby ultimately transferring the plates from the first conveyor line to the second conveyor line 2. The direction of the plates can be adjusted at the same time during this process. That is, if the plates are transported vertically on the first conveyor line, they are transported horizontally when transferred to the second conveyor line 2, and no further direction adjustment is required.

[0032] At the end of the second conveyor line 2, a number of conveyor rollers 18 are provided along the conveying direction, with a gap between the conveyor rollers 18. Above the end of the second conveyor line 2, a second stacking rack is provided, and at the top of the second stacking rack, a crossbeam 12 is provided.

Specifically, the guide structure can be provided with vertical guide strips on both sides of the rack, and corresponding guide grooves can be provided on the crossbeam 12.

[0033] When the motor 13 starts, it can drive the vertical rack 14 to rise and fall through the gear. The bottom end of the vertical rack 14 is connected to the second transfer bracket. The bottom of the second transfer bracket is provided with a second slide rail. The second slide rail is in the same direction as the conveying of the second conveyor line 2.

[0034] The second slide rail of this utility model has a second connecting frame 20, and the second connecting frame 20 is connected to a second linear drive device 16. The second linear drive device 16 can drive the second connecting frame 20 to slide at the bottom of the second slide rail. At least two horizontal cylinders 17 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the second connecting frame 20. The extension and retraction direction of the horizontal cylinders 17 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveying line 2. The cylinder rod of the horizontal cylinder 17 is connected to a plate 19. The width of the plate 19 is less than the distance between two adjacent conveying rollers 18. When the horizontal cylinders 17 on both sides of the bottom of the second connecting frame 20 drive the plate 19 to extend, they can lift the plate on the conveying roller 18.

[0035] To ensure the stability of the sliding of the second connecting frame 20, it is preferable to have two second slide rails, and the second connecting frame 20 is connected to the two second slide rails.

[0036] The second stacking rack of this utility model includes two vertical support legs 11, and a crossbeam 12 spans across the two vertical support legs 11. The second transfer support includes a horizontal beam 15, with vertical sliders at both ends of the horizontal beam 15. Both vertical support legs 11 are equipped with vertical slide rails that slide vertically with the vertical sliders, which can further improve the lifting accuracy of the second transfer support.

[0037] The bottom of the second connecting frame 20 is equipped with a first sensor. The first sensor can sense the distance between itself and the plate on the conveying roller 18. The first sensor is connected to the motor 13, which facilitates the timely start and stop of the motor 13.

[0038] The bottom of the first lifting frame 7 is equipped with a second sensor, which is a contact switch. The contact switch can determine whether the suction cup 6 is adsorbing the plate.

[0039] The first stacking rack 3 of this utility model is provided with a first stacking plate 1 that can be lifted and lowered, and the plates on the first conveyor line can be automatically conveyed to the first stacking plate 1.

[0040] The second conveyor line 2 of this utility model is provided with an inclined baffle 10. The distance between the inclined baffle 10 and the second conveyor line 2 gradually decreases along the conveying direction. The highest position of the inclined baffle 10 is connected to the first transfer bracket. The distance between the lowest position of the inclined baffle 10 and the second conveyor line 2 is slightly greater than the thickness of the plate, so as to prevent the stacked plates from entering the stacking position of the second conveyor line 2.

Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical description of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
