[0002] With the development of the construction industry, it is often necessary to cut metal sheets and then process them into the desired products. Typically, a shearing machine is used in the processing of metal sheets. A shearing machine is a machine that uses one blade to reciprocate linearly relative to another blade to cut the sheet metal. By using the two moving blades, metal sheets of various thicknesses can be broken and separated.

[0003] In one known technical solution, after the shearing machine completes the shearing operation, manual operation of mechanical tools, such as a transfer cart, is often required to support and transport the sheet metal. After the sheared sheet metal is loaded onto the transfer cart, the cart is manually controlled to unload the sheared sheet metal and place it into a stacking area. The sheared sheet metal is then stacked in the stacking area. This operation is relatively complex, has low efficiency, and consumes a lot of manpower. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shearing system to solve the problems existing in the prior art. The pick-and-place device switches back and forth between the first and second workstations to promptly send the boards on the temporary storage mechanism to the stacking mechanism for stacking operations, thereby realizing automatic stacking of boards. It is easy to operate, saves manpower, and has high work efficiency.

Through the reciprocating sliding of the pick-and-place device on the guide rail, the pick-and-place device switches back and forth between the first and second workstations, promptly sending the sheet metal from the temporary storage mechanism to the stacking mechanism for stacking operations.

[0025] 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.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a shearing system, including a shearing machine 1, a temporary storage mechanism 2, a transfer mechanism, and a stacking mechanism 3. The shearing machine 1 performs shearing operations on the sheet metal. The shearing machine 1 includes a discharge port 4 through which the sheared sheet metal is discharged. The temporary storage mechanism 2 is located at the discharge port 4. The transfer mechanism includes a guide rail 5, on which a pick-and-place device is mounted. The pick-and-place device is slidably connected to the guide rail 5, and its sliding trajectory on the guide rail 5 includes a first station and a second station. The pick-and-place device located at the first station corresponds to the temporary storage mechanism 2. The stacking mechanism 3 has a stacking area, and the pick-and-place device located at the second station corresponds to the stacking area.

[0028] Working principle: The sheet material to be sheared is first fed to the shearing machine 1, where it is sheared. After shearing, the sheet material is fed to the temporary storage mechanism 2 through the discharge port 4. The temporary storage mechanism 2 temporarily stores the cut sheet material. The pick-and-place device slides on the guide rail 5. When the pick-and-place device slides to the first station on the guide rail 5, it can pick up the sheet material on the temporary storage mechanism 2. Then, the pick-and-place mechanism drives the sheet material to slide on the guide rail 5. Specifically, the pick-and-place mechanism slides to the second station. When the pick-and-place mechanism reaches the second station, it can place the sheet material into the stacking area on the stacking mechanism 3 for stacking. In this invention, the sheet metal output from the discharge port 4 of the shearing machine 1 can directly enter the temporary storage mechanism 2 for temporary storage. Both the temporary storage mechanism 2 and the stacking mechanism 3 are within the transfer range of the transfer mechanism. Through the reciprocating sliding of the pick-and-place device on the guide rail 5, the pick-and-place device switches back and forth between the first and second workstations, enabling the sheet metal on the temporary storage mechanism 2 to be promptly fed into the stacking mechanism 3 for stacking operations. This achieves automatic stacking of the sheet metal, is convenient to operate, saves manpower, and has high work efficiency. The shearing machine 1 can be a commercially available model.

[0029] In this embodiment, the end of the temporary storage mechanism 2 facing the discharge port 4 of the shearing machine 1 is the initial end 6. Preferably, the discharge port 4 is directly connected to the initial end 6, allowing the sheet metal output from the discharge port 4 to be directly fed onto the initial end 6. The end of the temporary storage mechanism 2 furthest from the initial end 6 is the final end 7. A pushing device is provided on the temporary storage mechanism 2, with the pushing direction from the initial end 6 to the final end 7. The pushing device can be a belt conveyor mechanism on the shearing machine 1 or a hydraulic telescopic rod drive mechanism. When the pushing device is a hydraulic telescopic rod drive mechanism, the base of the hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on the temporary storage mechanism 2, and a push plate is provided at the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic telescopic rod. The push plate can directly push the sheet metal towards the final end 7. On the temporary storage mechanism 2, the area projected from the initial end 6 to the final end 7 is the temporary storage area, which can accommodate the sheet metal.

[0030] In this embodiment, a lateral limiting device 8 is provided on the temporary storage mechanism 2, and the lateral limiting device 8 is located at the side end of the temporary storage area. Preferably, a lateral limiting device 8 is provided at both ends of the temporary storage area. The lateral limiting device 8 includes a limiting part, which is located at the side end of the temporary storage area. The base of the lateral limiting device 8 is directly provided on the temporary storage mechanism 2. Preferably, multiple lateral limiting devices 8 are provided, and the multiple lateral limiting devices 8 are evenly distributed on the temporary storage mechanism 2. The lateral limiting device 8 can be slidably connected to the temporary storage mechanism 2, so that the position of the lateral limiting device 8 on the temporary storage mechanism 2 is adjustable.

[0031] Preferably, before the sheet metal is sheared by the shearing machine 1, after the sheet metal is output from the discharge port 4, it can directly abut against the lateral limiting device 8 on the temporary storage mechanism 2. The lateral limiting device 8 guides and limits the movement of the sheet metal on the temporary storage mechanism 2, allowing the sheet metal to move smoothly along the line connecting the initial end 6 to the final end 7. Then, the shearing machine 1 shears the sheet metal, preventing abnormal displacement of the sheet metal during shearing. At the same time, it also ensures that the pushing device can effectively push the sheet metal, allowing the sheet metal to stably reach the final end 7. Preferably, the shearing machine 1 is provided with a sheet metal guiding mechanism. The driving direction of the sheet metal guiding mechanism is from the discharge port 4 to the initial end 6 of the temporary storage mechanism 2. The sheet metal guiding mechanism can stably push the sheet metal from the discharge port 4 onto the temporary storage mechanism 2. The preferred sheet material guiding mechanism includes a conveying track, with both ends connected to the discharge port 4 and the initial end 6 of the temporary storage mechanism 2, respectively. A driving component, driven by a hydraulic cylinder, is installed on the conveying track. After the sheet material is output from the discharge port 4, it directly abuts against the conveying track. The driving component moves the sheet material along the conveying track, allowing it to reach the initial end 6 of the temporary storage mechanism 2. Furthermore, after the sheet material is discharged from the discharge port 4, the sheet material guiding mechanism ensures that it stably reaches the initial end 6 of the temporary storage mechanism 2 and abuts against the lateral limiting device 8 on the temporary storage mechanism 2, thus guiding the conveying of the sheet material.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lateral limiting device 8 is a vertical rod structure. While it can abut and limit the material, it also prevents interference when the material is moved by the transfer mechanism. Alternatively, the lateral limiting device 8 can be an L-shaped structure, including a corner area that covers the temporary storage area, thus limiting the material vertically. When the material is conveyed from the discharge port 4 to the initial end 6, it is positioned below the corner area of ​​the L-shaped structure. The lateral limiting device 8, with its L-shaped structure, can then limit the material both laterally and vertically, preventing abnormal shaking and ensuring the material lies flat on the temporary storage mechanism 2. To avoid interference between the transfer mechanism and the L-shaped structure when the transfer mechanism moves the sheet material, the lateral limiting device 8 of the L-shaped structure and the temporary storage mechanism 2 are made to be telescopically connected. When the transfer mechanism picks up the sheet material in the temporary storage area, the lateral limiting device 8 of the L-shaped structure can be retracted outward through the telescopic mechanism, so that the L-shaped structure is away from the sheet material and the L-shaped structure does not interfere with the movement of the sheet material when the transfer mechanism moves the sheet material.

[0033] In this embodiment, a terminal limiting member 9 is provided at the end point 7 of the temporary storage mechanism 2, and the plate located at the end point 7 can abut against the terminal limiting member 9. Preferably, multiple terminal limiting members 9 are provided, and the multiple terminal limiting members 9 are evenly arranged at the end point 7 of the temporary storage mechanism 2. Preferably, the terminal limiting member 9 is a pneumatic clamp. When the plate reaches the end point 7, the pneumatic clamp can clamp the plate and fix it, ensuring that the plate can be laid flat on the temporary storage mechanism 2. When the pick-and-place device of the transfer mechanism is in the first working position, it can ensure that the pick-and-place device can stably adsorb and fix the plate. When the transfer mechanism adsorbs the plate located on the temporary storage mechanism 2, the pneumatic clamp unlocks and releases the clamp on the plate. At the same time, the pneumatic clamp can also be retracted outward by the telescopic mechanism to avoid interference between the movement of the pneumatic clamp and the plate.

[0034] In one embodiment, the pick-and-place device includes a lift, which includes a support 10. A lifting rod 11 is provided on the support 10, and the lifting rod 11 can move up and down on the support 10. Preferably, the lifting rod 11 is in a vertical state. The support 10 is slidably connected to the guide rail 5. A pick-and-place frame is provided at the bottom end of the lifting rod 11, and a plurality of suction cups 12 are provided on the bottom surface of the pick-and-place frame. The plurality of suction cups 12 are preferably located in the same plane, and the suction cups 12 can pick up the board. Preferably, the suction cups 12 are connected to a negative pressure mechanism, and the suction force of the suction cups 12 is controlled by controlling the on and off of the negative pressure mechanism.

[0035] In this embodiment, the pick-and-place rack includes a main rod 13, the top surface of which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of a lifting rod 11. The lifting rod 11 can drive the main rod 13 to move up and down. Multiple support rods 14 are provided on the main rod 13, with the axis of each support rod 14 perpendicular to the axis of the main rod 13. The multiple support rods 14 are evenly arranged along the axis of the main rod 13. Multiple suction cups 12 are provided on the bottom surface of the support rods 14. The multiple suction cups 12 are evenly arranged on the support rods 14. Preferably, a suction cup 12 is provided at the end of each support rod 14.

[0036] In this embodiment, the temporary storage mechanism 2 and the stacking mechanism 3 are arranged sequentially along the discharge direction of the shearing machine 1, and the guide rail 5 is also parallel to the discharge direction of the shearing machine 1. The sliding trajectory of the support rod 14 along the main rod 13 on the guide rail 5 is the support rod sliding trajectory, which is located above the temporary storage mechanism 2 and the stacking mechanism 3. Preferably, the downward projection of the support rod sliding trajectory can coincide with the temporary storage mechanism 2 and the stacking mechanism 3. When the pick-and-place device is in the first working position, the main rod 13 and the support rod 14 move downward, so that the suction cup 12 at the bottom of the support rod 14 can adsorb the board material located in the temporary storage area. Then, the main rod 13 and the support rod 14 move upward synchronously and slide along the guide rail 5 with the support 10 until they are in the second working position. The main rod 13 and the support rod 14 move downward synchronously. When the board material adsorbed by the suction cup 12 reaches the stacking area, the negative pressure mechanism is closed, the suction force of the suction cup 12 disappears, and the board material on the suction cup 12 is stacked in the stacking area.

[0037] In one embodiment, the shearing machine 1 includes a shear mechanism with shear blades. The shear blades can directly cut the sheet metal. A height adjustment mechanism is provided on the shear blades to adjust their height. Preferably, the shearing machine 1 is equipped with a shearing conveyor belt, which moves the sheet metal within the shearing machine 1. During shearing, the shearing conveyor belt cooperates with the shear blades, serving as a support surface. The height adjustment mechanism can adjust the height gap between the shear blades and the shearing conveyor belt. When the sheet metal to be cut is thick, the height gap is increased to match the thickness of the sheet metal; when the sheet metal to be cut is thin, the height gap is appropriately decreased.

[0038] In this embodiment, the shear blade includes an upper shear blade, a lower shear blade, and a second hydraulic cylinder, with the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder connected to the upper shear blade. The lower shear blade is located at the end of the conveyor belt, and has an inclined surface facing the conveyor belt. The lower shear blade includes a cavity in which a height adjustment mechanism can be connected. The height adjustment mechanism includes a rack and an adjusting nut that meshes with the rack. The rack is located on the inner wall of the cavity of the lower shear blade, and the adjusting nut includes a gear that meshes with the rack. By turning the adjusting nut, the lower shear blade is moved up and down, thereby adjusting the height distance between the lower shear blade and the shearing conveyor belt. The upper and lower shear blades are connected. When the second hydraulic cylinder moves the upper shear blade, it simultaneously moves the lower shear blade, allowing the lower shear blade to directly shear the sheet material on the shearing conveyor belt. Both the second hydraulic cylinder and the shearing conveyor belt are electrically connected to a controller. The controller can control the timely activation of the second hydraulic cylinder and also control the running speed of the shearing conveyor belt.

[0039] In this embodiment, the shearing machine 1 further includes a feed inlet, at which a conveying device 15 is provided to transport the sheet metal to be sheared to the feed inlet. The conveying device 15 includes a conveyor belt and a conveying device support. The conveying device support is connected to the two ends of the drive rollers at both ends of the feed conveyor belt, and the other end of the conveying device support is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing. A feeder is provided above the conveying device 15 to transport the sheet metal to be sheared onto the conveying device 15. The conveying device 15 includes a first hydraulic cylinder; the end of the telescopic rod of the first hydraulic cylinder is connected to a fixed plate. The conveying control unit is used to control the conveying distance of the conveyor belt and the start of the first hydraulic cylinder. The fixed plate can limit the sheet metal to be sheared on the conveying device 15.

[0040] In this embodiment, the shearing system also includes a control box 16. A controller is housed in the control box 16 and is electrically connected to the shearing machine 1, as well as to the shearing conveyor belt and the feeding conveyor belt. The controller can control the conveying speed of each conveyor belt and the movement of the shear mechanism in the shearing machine 1.
