[0002] In industrial production, when the workpiece carrier plate, plate product and other materials are transferred, the materials are usually pulled to the platform track for transfer. However, when the materials are transferred on the platform track, they will rub against the platform track, which not only easily wears the materials, but also easily generates debris and dust, and is difficult to meet the environmental requirements of a dust-free workshop. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an equipment that can reduce the friction on the materials during transfer. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a material transfer equipment to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, at least to provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.

When the workpiece carrier plate and other materials need to be transferred, the workpiece carrier plate is fed into the supporting area, the multiple supporting wheels on the two side plates support the materials, and the multiple limiting wheels on the left and right sides of the supporting area limit the position of the materials. The transfer clamp moves to the materials, clamps and fixes the materials, and then the transfer clamp pushes and pulls the materials along the front-back direction. Since the materials rub against the supporting wheels and the limiting wheels in a rolling manner, the wear of the materials can be effectively reduced, the generation of debris and dust can be reduced, and the materials can be transferred faster.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the outer sides of the plurality of supporting wheels are provided with first elastic wear-resistant layers. When the material is placed on the supporting plate for support, the first elastic wear-resistant layers are abutted against the material. The first elastic wear-resistant layers can buffer the material during feeding, better protect the material, and reduce the noise of the material during transfer.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the outer sides of the plurality of limiting wheels are provided with second elastic wear-resistant layers. Similarly, when the limiting wheels limit the side edges of the material, the second elastic wear-resistant layers are abutted against the material to buffer the material during prevention of deviation, better protect the material, and reduce the noise of the material during transfer.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1 With Figure 2 , the material transfer device comprises a base and a transfer mechanism, wherein two side plates are arranged on the base and spaced apart in the left-right direction, the two side plates are respectively provided with a plurality of supporting wheels 120 on the side facing each other, of course, the supporting wheels 120 are rotatable on the side plate, the rotation axis of the supporting wheels 120 is arranged in the left-right direction, the supporting wheels 120 on the two side plates are respectively arranged in the front-rear direction and spaced apart, the top side of the two side plates is respectively arranged in the front-rear direction and spaced apart, and a plurality of limiting wheels 130 are arranged, similarly, the limiting wheels 130 are rotatable on the side plate, and the rotation axis of the limiting wheels 130 is arranged in the up-down direction; the transfer mechanism has a transfer clamp jaw 210 which can move in the front-rear direction, the transfer clamp jaw 210 can be a pneumatic clamp jaw or an electric clamp jaw, and the transfer clamp jaw 210 is located between the two side plates.

[0025] As can be seen from the above, the plurality of supporting wheels 120 on the two side plates form a rolling supporting area, and the top sides of the two side plates are respectively provided with a plurality of limiting wheels 130 which limit the left and right sides of the supporting area. When the workpiece carrier plate and other materials need to be transferred, the workpiece carrier plate is fed into the supporting area, the materials are supported by the plurality of supporting wheels 120 on the two side plates, and the position of the materials is limited by the plurality of limiting wheels 130 on the left and right sides of the supporting area. The transfer clamping jaw 210 moves to the materials, clamps and fixes the materials, and then the transfer clamping jaw 210 pushes and pulls the materials in the front-back direction. Since the rolling friction exists between the materials and the supporting wheels 120 and the limiting wheels 130, the wear of the materials can be effectively reduced, the generation of debris and dust can be reduced, and the materials can be transferred faster.

[0026] The side plate can be an integral plate, such as directly installing the supporting wheels 120 and the limiting plate on the side plate. In production, a reserved hole position corresponding to the installation position of the supporting wheels 120 and the limiting wheels 130 needs to be provided. Thus, the production and assembly are more complicated. In order to improve the convenience of production and use, in at least one of the side plates, the side plate includes a plate body 111 and a plurality of connecting seats 112 which are spaced apart in the front-back direction on the plate body 111. The plurality of supporting wheels 120 are respectively connected to the side walls of the plurality of connecting seats 112, and the plurality of limiting wheels 130 are respectively connected to the top surfaces of the plurality of connecting seats 112. In this side plate, the connecting seat 112 and the supporting wheels 120 and the limiting wheels 130 connected to the connecting seat 112 form a module for supporting and limiting the materials. When assembling the side plate, a plurality of modules can be selected and used according to the needs of transferring the materials. Thus, the convenience and flexibility of overall assembly and use can be improved. In actual application, both of the two side plates can be designed to include a plate body 111 and a connecting seat 112. At this time, a plurality of modules can be respectively arranged at different positions of the two side plates according to the needs of use.

[0027] In a single connecting seat 112, the number of supporting wheels 120 can be only one. When supporting the materials, stable support of the materials can be formed by the supporting wheels 120 on the two connecting seats 112. Therefore, in order to improve the supporting effect of the materials, in at least one of the connecting seats 112, the supporting wheels 120 are spaced apart in the front-back direction. In this connecting seat 112, the two supporting wheels 120 can form a fulcrum for stably supporting the materials. Thus, in the plurality of connecting seats 112 arranged in the front-back direction, stable support of the materials can be provided at different positions, and the supporting effect of the materials can be improved. In actual application, the number of supporting wheels 120 on each connecting seat 112 can be two. In addition, the number of supporting wheels 120 can be further increased according to the needs of use, such as three, four, etc.

[0028] In some embodiments, the supporting wheels 120 and the limiting wheels 130 are detachably connected with the connecting seats 112. When the supporting wheels 120 or the limiting wheels 130 are damaged after long-time use, the supporting wheels 120 and the limiting wheels 130 can be detached from the connecting seats 112 for replacement, so that the supporting wheels 120 and the limiting wheels 130 can be individually replaced and maintained, thereby reducing the use cost.

[0029] For the supporting wheels 120, the rolling shafts are connected with the side walls of the connecting seats 112, and two first bearings are arranged on the outer periphery of the rolling shafts in an axial direction. At this time, the supporting wheels 120 are sleeved into the outer rings of the two first bearings, and the end portions of the rolling shafts are connected with screws, which are used to limit the inner rings of the first bearings. For the limiting wheels 130, the second bearings are connected with the top sides of the connecting seats 112, and the limiting wheels 130 are sleeved into the outer rings of the second bearings, so that the installation and positioning of the limiting wheels 130 are realized.

[0030] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the positions of the entire module, in the embodiment, the connecting seats 112 are detachably connected with the plate body 111. For example, holes are formed in the connecting seats 112, and screws are arranged to pass through the connecting seats 112 and be connected with the plate body 111. The connecting seats 112 are pressed and fixed on the plate body 111 by the screws. The holes formed in the connecting seats 112 can be waist-shaped holes, so that the positions of the screws passing through the connecting seats 112 are conveniently adjusted. In use, the connecting seats 112 can be detached from the plate body 111 according to the use requirements of the material supporting and limiting, so that the number and installation positions of the connecting seats 112 are adjusted, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of use.

[0031] In order to improve the effect of the supporting wheels 120 on the buffering of the material supporting, in the embodiment, the outer sides of the supporting wheels 120 are provided with first elastic wear-resistant layers. The first elastic wear-resistant layers mainly have the characteristics of elasticity and wear resistance. For example, the first elastic wear-resistant layers can be made of PEEK material. PEEK material is a high molecular material mainly composed of polyurethane and polyurethane foaming agent. In actual application, the first elastic wear-resistant layers can be layer structures combined on the outer periphery of the supporting wheels 120, or structures formed on the outer periphery of the supporting wheels 120. When the material is placed on the supporting plate for supporting, the material abuts against the first elastic wear-resistant layers. The first elastic wear-resistant layers can buffer the material loading, better protect the material, and reduce the noise of the material during the transfer.

[0032] Similarly, the outer side of the plurality of limiting wheels 130 is provided with a second elastic wear-resistant layer. The second elastic wear-resistant layer mainly has the characteristics of elasticity and wear resistance. For example, the second elastic wear-resistant layer can be made of PEEK material. In actual application, the second elastic wear-resistant layer can be a layer structure compounded on the outer periphery of the limiting wheel 130, or can be a structure formed at the outer periphery position of the limiting wheel 130. When the limiting wheel 130 limits the side of the material, the second elastic wear-resistant layer abuts against the material, so as to buffer when preventing the material from deviating, better protect the material, and reduce the noise of the material during transfer.

Specifically, the transfer mechanism includes a driving assembly and a sliding plate 220. The driving assembly is arranged on the base. The sliding plate 220 is slidably connected to the base in the front-rear direction. The base can be provided with a sliding rail.

The driving assembly can drive the sliding plate 220 to move forward and backward. The transfer clamping jaw 210 is connected to the sliding plate 220. The driving assembly provides a driving force for the sliding plate 220 to move forward and backward. By driving the sliding plate 220 to move forward and backward, the transfer clamping jaw 210 located on the sliding plate 220 is driven to move forward and backward.

[0034] The driving assembly is mainly used for providing driving force for linear reciprocating movement, and various structural forms can be adopted, for example, an electric screw rod, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder can be used as a driving source. When the moving and transferring gripper 210 needs to move for a long distance, the electric screw rod, the pneumatic cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder needs to move for a long distance, and therefore, in the embodiment, the driving assembly comprises a motor 231, a synchronous wheel 232 and a synchronous belt 233. The two synchronous wheels 232 are arranged in the front-rear direction on the base, the rotation axes of the two synchronous wheels 232 are arranged in the up-down direction, the synchronous belt 233 is in driving connection with the two synchronous wheels 232, that is, the synchronous belt 233 is wound on the outer sides of the two synchronous wheels 232, the motor 231 is fixed on the base, the motor 231 is in driving connection with any one of the synchronous wheels 232, and the sliding plate 220 is in synchronous connection with the synchronous belt 233. In actual application, a fixed plate is connected to the top side of the sliding plate 220, the fixed plate is located on the outer side of the synchronous belt 233, a clamping plate is arranged on the inner side of the synchronous belt 233, and the clamping plate is connected and fixed to the fixed plate by screws or other connecting members, so that the synchronous belt 233 is synchronously fixed with the fixed plate. During work, one of the synchronous wheels 232 is driven to rotate by the motor 231, the synchronous wheel 232 is in driving connection with the synchronous belt 233, the synchronous belt 233 is driven to rotate between the two synchronous wheels 232, the sliding plate 220 is driven to move along with the synchronous belt 233 at this time, the synchronous wheel 232 is controlled to rotate forward and backward by the motor 231, and the sliding plate 220 is driven to move in the front-rear direction, which is especially suitable for long-distance moving and transferring.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the number of the moving and transferring grippers 210 can be one, and in order to improve the stability of the material grabbing and moving, in the embodiment, the moving and transferring grippers 210 are arranged in the left-right direction at intervals, for example, the number of the moving and transferring grippers 210 is two.
