Preferably, by integrating the stamping mechanism 1, the desharpening mechanism 2, and the riveting mechanism 3, a continuous and automated processing flow for metal parts from raw materials to finished products is realized. It is also equipped with an automated storage and retrieval system 4 and a stock preparation mechanism 5. The automated storage and retrieval system 4 stores finished materials, which improves the material management efficiency of the production line and ensures the continuity and stability of the production process. At the same time, the stock preparation mechanism 5 can automatically arrange and stack materials according to a preset arrangement to complete the pre-loading preparation for shipment, which greatly improves production efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and lowers the error rate.

Optionally, the loading section is located between the box-picking section and the output section. Optionally, there are multiple loading sections, and several stamping components 12 are arranged along the loading section.

Further, the movable pallet on the box-retrieving section can select the appropriate carrier according to production and shipping requirements to transport to the sorting area 122, facilitating the sorting of different materials. Preferably, the sorting conveyor belt can move relative to the stamping machine 121, allowing it to transport materials to one or more carriers in the corresponding sorting areas 122, ensuring accurate material entry into the carriers within the respective sorting areas 122. Further, the sorting conveyor belt can be connected to drive components such as cylinders and motors, enabling it to move under the drive of these components. The conveyor belt moves relative to the stamping machine 121 to accurately distribute materials into the carriers in the corresponding material distribution areas 122. Optionally, the number of material distribution areas 122 can be 2, 3, 4, etc. In this embodiment, 4 are used as an example. The 4 material distribution areas 122 are arranged along the loading section. After the stamping machine 121 processes the raw materials into finished products, the finished products are transported by the material distribution conveyor belt to the carriers in the 4 material distribution areas 122 respectively. Optionally, the 4 material distribution areas 122 may each include two receiving material distribution areas 122, one receiving material distribution area 122, and one transferring material distribution area 122. That is, the materials output by the stamping machine 121 are transported by the material distribution conveyor belt. When a carrier in one of the two receiving and sorting areas 122 is full of material, a movable pallet on the loading section moves the full carrier to the waiting-to-transfer sorting area 122, where it awaits transfer to the de-sharpening mechanism 2. Alternatively, the movable pallet on the loading section can directly transfer the full carrier to the output section, where it is then transported to the de-sharpening mechanism 2. Simultaneously, the movable pallet on the loading section can promptly transfer empty carriers from the waiting-to-receive sorting area 122 to the receiving and sorting area 122 for receiving material. This improves the coordination between the stamping assembly 12 and the first conveying branch line 11, ensuring the continuity of material production and transportation without requiring production to be interrupted while waiting for the first conveying branch line 11 to deliver carriers. Optionally, several waiting-to-transfer areas can be provided on the outer side of the first conveying branch line 11 for temporary storage of carriers, facilitating timely transport of carriers to the sorting area 122 for receiving material.

[0031] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, containers such as plastic boxes and iron boxes are placed on the ground. The movable pallet on the box-picking section of the first conveyor branch 11 selects the corresponding container and transports it to a depth of 2.5 meters underground via a lifting platform. Then, it is transported to the material distribution area 122 via the loading section of the first conveyor branch 11 for loading. The stamping machine 121 stamps the raw material into a preset material (at this time, the material is made of metal parts). The material is transported to the corresponding container in the material distribution area 122 via the material distribution conveyor belt. When the container is full of material, the movable pallet on the loading section is driven to transport the full container to the first lifting platform. The first identification unit identifies the container. If the container is a plastic box, the first lifting platform is driven to lift the full container to the ground for storage, to be loaded and shipped. If the container is an iron box, the first lifting platform is driven to lift the full container to a height of 2.5 meters above the ground, so that the full container can be transported to the desharpening mechanism 2, so that the material can be ground and desharpened in the desharpening mechanism 2.

Preferably, both the second conveyor branch line 21 and the third conveyor branch line 22 can include several conveyor guide rails arranged along the conveying path. Multiple movable pallets for carrying the carrier are mounted on the conveyor guide rails, and the movable pallets can move along the conveyor guide rails.

In this embodiment, the movable pallet on the third conveying branch 22 is driven to pre-place an empty carrier on the vibrating loading platform 25. When the desharpening machine tool 24 conveys the desharpened material to the carrier, the vibrating loading platform 25 vibrates synchronously so that the desharpened material can be completely contained in the carrier, avoiding the situation where the material cannot be completely contained in the carrier due to uneven placement of the material. After the desharpened material is completely contained in the carrier, the vibrating loading platform 25 is driven to move the carrier to the third conveying branch 22, and the movable pallet on the third conveying branch 22 is used to move the material to the riveting mechanism 3 for riveting.

[0041] See Figure 5Preferably, the stocking mechanism 5 includes a sixth conveyor branch line 51 and a stocking platform 52; the sixth conveyor branch line 51 is used to stack materials in the automated storage and retrieval system 4 on the stocking platform 52 according to a preset arrangement; the stocking platform 52 is used to push the materials to the vehicle compartment. Optionally, the sixth conveyor branch line 51 includes a second picking device and a second transfer device. Optionally, the second picking device is an RGV automated guided vehicle, robotic arm, etc., installed in the automated storage and retrieval system 4, used to take out the materials stored in the automated storage and retrieval system 4 and stack them on the second transfer device according to a preset arrangement; optionally, the second transfer device is set between the automated storage and retrieval system 4 and the stocking platform 52. Optionally, the second transfer device can be composed of one or more of a conveyor belt, conveyor rollers, conveyor rails, and RGV automated guided vehicles, used to transport materials to the stocking platform 52, thereby realizing the stacking of materials in the automated storage and retrieval system 4 on the stocking platform 52 according to a preset arrangement. When the vehicle stops in the designated area, the stocking platform 52 directly pushes the materials arranged according to the preset arrangement to the vehicle compartment, thereby realizing rapid loading.

[0042] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In this embodiment, containers such as plastic boxes and iron boxes are placed on the ground. The movable pallet on the box-picking section of the first conveyor branch 11 selects the corresponding container and is transported by the lifting platform to a depth of 2.5 meters underground. Then, it is transported to the material distribution area 122 for loading via the loading section of the first conveyor branch 11. The stamping machine 121 stamps the raw material into preset metal parts. The metal parts are transported to the corresponding container in the material distribution area 122 via the material distribution conveyor belt. When the container is full of metal parts, the movable pallet on the loading section is driven to transport the container full of metal parts to the first lifting platform. The first identification unit identifies the container. If the container is a plastic box, the first lifting platform is driven to lift the container to the ground for storage, to be loaded and shipped. If the container is an iron box, the first lifting platform is driven to lift the container to a height of 2.5 meters above the ground to transport the metal parts to the desharpening mechanism 2 for grinding and desharpening. When the first lifting platform lifts the container full of materials 2.After reaching a height of 5 meters, the movable pallet on the second conveyor branch 21 is driven to transport the carrier filled with metal parts to the unloading machine 23. The unloading machine 23 fixes the carrier to its frame and drives the carrier to rotate with the frame of the unloading machine 23, so that the metal parts loaded in the carrier are poured into the desharpening machine 24 for grinding and desharpening. The movable pallet on the third conveyor branch 22 is driven to pre-place the empty carrier on the vibrating loading platform 25. When the desharpening machine 24 transports the ground and desharpened metal parts to the carrier, the vibrating loading platform 25 is driven to vibrate synchronously, so that the ground and desharpened metal parts are ground and desharpened. The system can completely accommodate multiple desharpened metal parts in a carrier. Once the carrier is fully accommodated, the vibrating loading platform 25 is driven to transfer the carrier to the third conveyor branch 22. A movable pallet on the third conveyor branch 22 then transfers the carrier containing the metal parts to the second lifting platform. The second lifting platform lifts the carrier to a height of 3 meters above the ground, storing the carrier containing the metal parts in the compact storage 26. Simultaneously, the second identification unit in the second lifting mechanism 27 reads the RFID tag on the carrier and stores the carrier's information in the ERP system, marking it as inbound. Then, according to... Actual production and shipping demands drive the fourth conveyor branch 31 to retrieve the corresponding metal parts from the compact storage 26 and transport them to the transfer machine 34. The transfer machine 34 then transports the metal parts to the riveting station 35. There, the metal parts are riveted manually or by automated equipment. The riveted material is then suspended on the overhead conveyor branch 36 (at this point, the material is an iron frame or parts riveted together). The overhead conveyor branch 36 then transports the riveted material to the fifth conveyor branch 32. During the process of carrying the material to the fifth conveyor branch 32, the overhead conveyor branch 36 passes through the varnishing branch 3. 7. The material suspended on the overhead conveyor 36 enters the impregnation conveyor 37, where it undergoes impregnation treatment. The material then continues to move along the overhead conveyor 36, transporting the impregnated material to the fifth conveyor 32. From there, the material is transported to the automated warehouse 4 via a movable pallet. During stock preparation, the sixth conveyor 51 drives the material from the automated warehouse 4 to be stacked in a preset arrangement on the stock preparation platform 52. When a vehicle stops in the designated area, the stock preparation platform 52 directly pushes the preset-arranged material into the vehicle compartment.

Optionally, the metal parts processing and production method is stored in the back-end server of the metal parts processing production line, and the back-end server drives the corresponding mechanisms to perform corresponding actions, etc. Preferably, the three-dimensional intelligent production method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0045] S1: The first conveyor branch 11 of the stamping mechanism 1 is driven to move the carrier to the material distribution area 122, and the material formed by the stamping machine tool 121 is transported to the carrier in the material distribution area 122 by the material distribution conveyor belt.

[0046] Preferably, a system work order is generated in advance based on actual production and delivery needs, which drives the first conveyor branch 11 to select the corresponding carrier according to the system work order, and transport the carrier to the material distribution area 122 at a depth of 2.5 meters underground for loading. Then, the stamping machine 121 is driven to stamp the raw materials into preset metal parts according to the system work order. Finally, the metal parts output by the stamping machine 121 are transported to the carrier in the corresponding material distribution area 122 by the material distribution conveyor belt.

[0047] S2: The carrier is transferred to the first lifting platform via the first conveying branch 11 of the stamping mechanism 1. The carrier is identified by the first identification unit to determine whether the material needs to be desharpened. If so, the carrier is conveyed to the second conveying branch 21 via the first lifting platform and S3 is executed. If not, the carrier is conveyed to the ground via the first lifting platform.

[0048] Preferably, when the carrier is full of metal parts, the movable pallet on the first conveyor branch 11 is driven to transport the carrier full of metal parts to the first lifting platform. The carrier is identified by the first identification unit to determine whether the material needs to be desharpened. Optionally, the type of carrier can be used to determine whether the material in the carrier needs to be desharpened. Specifically, if the carrier is a plastic box, the first lifting platform lifts the carrier to the ground for storage, to be loaded and shipped. If the carrier is an iron box, the first lifting platform lifts the carrier to a height of 2.5 meters above the ground, and then the movable pallet on the second conveyor branch 21 transports the carrier full of metal parts to the unloading machine 23.

[0049] S3: Drive the second conveyor branch line 21 to move the carrier to the unloading machine 23. The unloading machine 23 pours the material in the carrier into the desharpening machine 24 for desharpening. The vibrating loading platform 25 is used to vibrate the carrier so that the desharpened material is completely contained in the carrier. Then the carrier is moved to the third conveyor branch line 22.

[0050] Preferably, after the first lifting platform raises the carrier filled with metal parts to a height of 2.5 meters, it drives the movable pallet on the second conveyor branch 21 to transport the carrier filled with metal parts to the unloading machine 23. The unloading machine 23 fixes the carrier on its frame and drives the carrier to rotate with the frame of the unloading machine 23 so that the metal parts loaded in the carrier are poured into the desharpening machine 24 for grinding and desharpening. The movable pallet on the third conveyor branch 22 pre-places the empty carrier on the vibrating loading platform 25. When the desharpening machine 24 transports the ground and desharpened metal parts to the carrier, it drives the vibrating loading platform 25 to vibrate synchronously so that the metal parts can be completely contained in the carrier. After the metal parts are completely contained in the carrier, it drives the vibrating loading platform 25 to transfer the carrier to the third conveyor branch 22.

[0051] S4: The vehicle is transported to the second lifting platform via the third conveyor branch line 22, and the vehicle is stored in the compact warehouse 26 by the second lifting platform. At the same time, the information of the stored vehicle is read by the second identification unit.

[0052] Preferably, the carrier containing metal parts is transferred to the second lifting platform via a movable pallet on the third conveyor branch 22. The second lifting platform is then driven to lift the carrier to a height of 3 meters above the ground, so that the carrier containing metal parts can be stored in the compact warehouse 26. At the same time, the second identification unit in the second lifting mechanism 27 is driven to read the RFID tag on the carrier and store the carrier information in the ERP system, marking it as an inbound item.

[0053] S5: The fourth conveyor branch 31 of the riveting mechanism 3 is driven to transfer the carrier in the compact warehouse 26 to the transfer machine 34. The transfer machine 34 then transports the material in the carrier to the riveting station 35 for riveting. The riveted material is then transported to the paint dipping station for paint dipping via the overhead conveyor branch 36. The material is then transported to the fifth conveyor branch 32 and stored in the automated warehouse 4 via the fifth conveyor branch 32.

[0054] Preferably, according to the system work order, the fourth conveyor branch 31 is driven to retrieve the corresponding metal parts from the compact storage 26 and transport them to the transfer machine 34. The transfer machine 34 then transports the material to the riveting station 35. After the metal parts are riveted manually or by automated equipment at the riveting station 35, the riveted material is suspended on the overhead conveyor branch 36. The overhead conveyor branch 36 is driven to transport the riveted material to the fifth conveyor branch 32. During the process of the overhead conveyor branch 36 carrying the material to the fifth conveyor branch 32, it passes through the impregnation branch 37, allowing the material suspended on the overhead conveyor branch 36 to enter the impregnation branch 37 for impregnation treatment. Then, the material on the overhead conveyor branch 36 continues to move with the overhead conveyor branch 36 to transport the impregnated material to the fifth conveyor branch 32. The movable pallet of the fifth conveyor branch 32 then transports the material to the automated storage and retrieval system 4 for storage.

[0055] S6: The materials in the automated warehouse 4 are stacked on the preparation platform 52 according to the preset arrangement through the sixth conveyor branch line 51, and the materials are pushed to the carriage using the preparation platform 52.

[0056] Preferably, during the preparation of goods, the sixth conveyor branch line 51 is driven to retrieve the materials stored in the automated warehouse 4 according to the delivery order and stack them on the preparation platform 52 in a preset arrangement.
