Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal rolling technology, and more specifically, it relates to a robotic arm for metal rolling. Background Technology
[0002] Calendering is an important industrial processing technology widely used in the processing of various materials such as rubber, plastics, and metals. It involves placing the material between two rotating rollers, and using the rotation of the rollers and the applied pressure to stretch the material into the desired shape or thickness.
[0003] During the metal rolling process, the metal coils are continuously conveyed and rolled. Issues such as the quality of the material itself and the cleanliness of the equipment can cause the metal coils to deviate during the rolling process. In order to ensure subsequent production, it is necessary to correct this in a timely manner. However, since the rolled metal coils are relatively thin, relying solely on manual correction can easily lead to operational safety problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a robotic arm for metal rolling, which has the advantages of replacing manual labor and improving industrial production safety.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a metal rolling robot, including a support frame, a slide rail disposed on the support frame, a slide table sliding on the slide rail, and a first driving member for driving the slide table to slide along the slide rail;
[0006] The slide is provided with a first lifting module and a second lifting module. A first abutting plate is installed on the first lifting module and a second abutting plate is installed on the second lifting module.
[0007] The metal coil is located between the first abutment plate and the second abutment plate. With the movement of the first driving component, the first lifting module and the second lifting module, the two sides of the offset metal coil are pushed back to their original positions.
[0008] Preferably, the first driving component is a motor, the drive shaft of the motor is connected to a linear lead screw, and a nut threadedly connected to the linear lead screw is provided on the slide. The motor drives the linear lead screw to rotate, so that the slide moves linearly along the slide rail direction.
[0009] Preferably, the first lifting module includes a first lifting rail mounted on the slide and a first lifting support platform sliding on the first lifting rail. A connecting rod is provided on one side of the first lifting support platform, and one side of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a second driving member through a lifting screw. The second driving member drives the first lifting support platform to slide along the first lifting rail.
[0010] Preferably, the first abutment plate is mounted on the first lifting support platform via an extension plate.
[0011] Preferably, a third abutment plate is provided on one side of the extension plate near the first abutment plate, and a third driving member is provided on the extension plate. The third abutment plate is hinged to the third driving member and the first abutment plate on the same side. Driven by the third driving member, the third abutment plate is pried and rotated with the first abutment plate as a fixed point.
[0012] Preferably, the second lifting module includes a second lifting rail mounted on the slide table and a second lifting support platform sliding on the second lifting rail. The slide table is provided with a fourth driving member for driving the second lifting support platform to slide along the second lifting rail.
[0013] In summary, the present invention has the following advantages: the metal coil passes through the support frame, so that the first abutment plate and the second abutment plate are located at the two ends of the metal coil, respectively. During the traction and rolling process of the metal coil, if the metal coil deviates, the first lifting module and the second lifting module are used to adjust the position so that the deviated metal coil is opposite to the first abutment plate or the second abutment plate. Then, the first driving component drives the slide table to move along the slide rail, so that the first abutment plate and the second abutment plate move synchronously, causing the first abutment plate or the second abutment plate to abut and push the metal coil, thereby calibrating the deviation of the metal coil, replacing manual operation and improving industrial production safety.

[0020] A robotic arm for metal rolling, see Figure 1 It includes a support frame 1, a slide rail 11 disposed on the support frame 1, a slide table 12 sliding on the slide rail 11, and a first driving member 13 that drives the slide table 12 to slide along the slide rail 11.
[0021] The slide 12 is provided with a first lifting module 2 and a second lifting module 3. A first abutting plate 21 is installed on the first lifting module 2, and a second abutting plate 31 is installed on the second lifting module 3.
[0022] The metal coil is located between the first abutment plate 21 and the second abutment plate 31. With the movement of the first driving component 13, the first lifting module 2 and the second lifting module 3, the two sides of the offset metal coil are pushed back to their original positions.
[0023] In this embodiment, a metal coil passes through a support frame 1, with the first abutment plate 21 and the second abutment plate 31 located at both ends of the metal coil, respectively. During the traction and rolling process of the metal coil, if the metal coil deviates, the first lifting module 2 and the second lifting module 3 are used to adjust the position so that the deviated metal coil is opposite to the first abutment plate 21 or the second abutment plate 31. Then, the first driving component 13 drives the slide table 12 to move along the slide rail 11, so that the first abutment plate 21 and the second abutment plate 31 move synchronously, causing the first abutment plate 21 or the second abutment plate 31 to abut and push the metal coil, thereby calibrating the deviation of the metal coil, replacing manual operation and improving industrial production safety.
[0024] Specifically, the first driving component 13 is a motor, the drive shaft of the motor is connected to a linear lead screw 14, and the slide table 12 is provided with a nut that is threadedly connected to the linear lead screw 14. The motor drives the linear lead screw 14 to rotate, so that the slide table 12 moves linearly along the slide rail 11.
[0025] The linear screw 14 is rotated by the motor, causing the slide table 12 with the nut installed to slide along the slide rail 11. The rotational motion of the motor is converted into the linear motion of the slide table 12 by the linear screw 14.
[0026] Specifically, the first lifting module 2 includes a first lifting rail 22 installed on the slide table 12 and a first lifting support platform 23 sliding on the first lifting rail 22. A connecting rod 24 is provided on one side of the first lifting support platform 23. One side of the connecting rod 24 is fixedly connected to the second driving member 26 through a lifting screw 25. The second driving member 26 drives the first lifting support platform 23 to slide along the first lifting rail 22.
[0027] The second driving component 26 is a servo motor. The servo motor drives the lifting screw 25 to rotate, which in turn moves the first lifting support platform 23 up and down, facilitating the alignment of the first abutment plate 21 and the metal coil.
[0028] Specifically, the first abutment plate 21 is mounted on the first lifting support platform 23 via an extension plate 27, which facilitates the installation of the first abutment plate 21.
[0029] Specifically, a third abutment plate 28 is provided on one side of the extension plate 27 near the first abutment plate 21. A third driving member is provided on the extension plate 27. The third abutment plate 28 is hinged to the third driving member and the first abutment plate 21 on the same side. Driven by the third driving member, the third abutment plate 28 is pried and rotated with the first abutment plate 21 as a fixed point.
[0030] During the traction process of the metal coil, due to its thinness, the sides of the metal coil are not on a horizontal plane due to gravity during the rolling and conveying process. Therefore, a third driving component drives a third abutment plate 28 to rotate and shift relative to the first abutment plate 21 as a fixed point, thereby adjusting the movement of the metal coil to facilitate its pushing. This third driving component is a cylinder.
[0031] Specifically, the second lifting module 3 includes a second lifting rail 32 mounted on the slide table 12 and a second lifting support platform 33 sliding on the second lifting rail 32. The slide table 12 is provided with a fourth driving member 34 for driving the second lifting support platform 33 to slide along the second lifting rail 32.
[0032] The fourth driving component 34 is a cylinder, which drives the second lifting support platform 33 to move up and down along the second lifting track 32 to achieve side alignment of the metal coil.
[0033] The above embodiments are merely explanations of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to the embodiments without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
