Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal sheet processing technology, and in particular to a multi-layer discharge silo. Background Technology
[0002] In existing sheet metal processing systems, sheet material warehouses typically employ multi-layered, three-dimensional storage structures to categorize and store various specifications and types of sheets. While this storage method improves the utilization rate of warehouse space, in actual production processes, when a production task requires processing multiple sheets of different specifications or materials simultaneously, the limitations of the existing sheet material warehouse's outbound elevators mean that only one type of sheet can be output at a time. This leads to frequent sheet material changeovers in multi-variety processing tasks, increasing equipment downtime and negatively impacting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0034] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A multi-layer discharge silo according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a storage mechanism 100, a lifting platform 110, and a feeding mechanism 120. The storage mechanism 100 includes a frame 101, and the lifting platform 110 is slidably connected to one side of the frame 101 and can slide along the height direction of the frame 101. The feeding mechanism 120 is located at the bottom of the frame 101 and includes a picking bin 121 and a transfer bin 122 that are interconnected. The frame 101 is provided with an extension frame 1011 extending away from the lifting platform 110. The picking bin 121 is located in the extension frame 1011, and the transfer bin 122 is located at the bottom of the frame 101.
[0036] Understandably, the frame 101 has multiple stacked material carts 103, which are used to carry the plate 109. The frame 101 has multiple support tubes 102, and the material carts 103 have multiple pulleys 104 on both sides. The pulleys 104 can roll on the support tubes 102, thereby enabling the material carts 103 to be slidably connected to the frame 101.
[0037] Reference Figure 3 A second locking device 108 is provided on the side of the frame 101 facing away from the elevator 110. The second locking device 108 includes a lifting cylinder 1081 and a transmission rod 1082. The transmission rod 1082 has multiple insertion rods 1083 spaced apart along the height direction. The insertion rods 1083 extend along the height direction. A limiting hole 106 is provided on the end of the material cart 103 facing away from the elevator 110. It can be understood that the lifting cylinder 1081 can control the transmission rod 1082 to descend, so that the insertion rods 1083 are inserted into the limiting hole 106, locking the material cart 103 inside the frame 101 to prevent the material cart 103 from falling, which helps to improve safety. When picking up materials, the lifting cylinder 1081 rises, so that the insertion rods 1083 are disengaged from the limiting hole 106, thereby unlocking the material cart 103.
[0038] Reference Figure 5It is understood that the elevator 110 is equipped with a conveyor chain 111, and any link of the conveyor chain 111 is equipped with a traction block 112. The end of the material car 103 facing the elevator 110 is equipped with a traction hook 105. The traction hook 105 has a buckle hole 1051 with the opening facing downward. When the conveyor chain 111 of the elevator 110 moves, the traction block 112 can be engaged in the buckle hole 1051, thereby connecting with the traction hook 105. This enables the elevator 110 to move the material car 103 from the storage mechanism 100 through the traction block 112, or to move the material car 103 from the elevator 110 into the storage mechanism 100. It can be understood that the conveyor chain 111 of the elevator 110 is set at the bottom of the material car 103 and wrapped around two sprockets. When the traction block 112 drives the material car 103 to move, and the traction block 112 moves close to either sprocket, under the guidance of the sprocket, the chain link with the traction block 112 moves towards the traction hook 105, so that the traction block 112 disengages from the traction hook 105, and the material car 103 can stop at the preset position.
[0039] It is understandable that both the transfer warehouse 122 and the picking warehouse 121 are provided with at least two workstations 123 arranged along the height direction. The workstations 123 are used to place the material carts 103. Thus, the picking warehouse 121 can simultaneously hold at least two material carts 103 loaded with different types of plates 109, without the need for the elevator 110 to repeatedly change the material carts 103 located in the feeding mechanism 120, thereby reducing the waiting time of the processing equipment and improving the processing efficiency.
[0040] Understandably, the transfer chamber 122 is equipped with a transport plate 124, and both sides of the transport plate 124 are equipped with pulleys 104, so that the transport plate 124 can be slidably connected to the frame 101 and the extension frame 1011. Understandably, during material discharge, the elevator 110 can transport the material cart 103 onto the transport plate 124, and the transport plate 124 is used to move the material cart 103 between the transfer chamber 122 and the picking chamber 121. (Refer to...) Figure 4 It is understandable that the conveyor chain 111 of the material picking bin 121 is equipped with a connecting block 127. The connecting block 127 is installed at the end of the transport plate 124 away from the elevator 110. When the conveyor chain 111 moves, it can drive the transport plate 124 to move between the transfer bin 122 and the material picking bin 121.
[0041] It is understandable that each workstation 123 is equipped with a conveyor chain 111. When there are two carts 103 carrying plates 109 of different specifications in the material picking bin 121, and the plate 109 located in the lower workstation 123 needs to be moved by the material picking cart 103 located in the upper workstation 123 under the conveyor chain 111, the transfer bin 122 (e.g.) is used. Figure 2(As shown); when it is necessary to process the sheet 109 located at the upper station 123, the conveyor chain 111 in the upper station 123 drives the material carrier 103 from the transfer warehouse 122 to the picking warehouse 121, so that the picking equipment can pick up the sheet 109.
[0042] Reference Figure 6 It is understandable that the transport plate 124 is equipped with a stop block 126, the elevator 110 can move the material car 103 to the transport plate 124, and the stop block 126 can brake the material car 103, thereby preventing the material car 103 from falling off the transport plate 124. Furthermore, the transport plate 124 is provided with a protrusion 125, the height of which is lower than that of the stop block 126. When the material cart 103 is placed on the transport plate 124, the pulley 104 of the material cart 103 first passes the protrusion 125. After passing the protrusion 125, the pulley 104 hits the stop block 126. The stop block 126 can abut against the pulley 104 and prevent the pulley 104 from rolling further. At this time, the pulley 104 of the material cart 103 is located between the protrusion 125 and the stop block 126, thereby achieving stable positioning of the material cart 103 on the transport plate 124 and preventing the material cart 103 from sliding.
[0043] Furthermore, the transport plate 124 is provided with positioning holes 128, and the frame 101 is provided with a first locking device 107, which is simultaneously provided in the transfer bin 122 and the material picking bin 121. The first locking device 107 includes a clamping cylinder 1072 and a movable locking block 1071. The clamping cylinder 1072 can drive the locking block 1071 to be inserted into the positioning hole 128, thereby preventing the transport plate 124 in the transfer bin 122 and the material picking bin 121 from moving arbitrarily and improving the stability of the operation.
[0044] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
