Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal sheet processing technology, specifically a metal short sheet conveying mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In fields such as metal stamping, heat exchange equipment, and electronic component manufacturing, the automated conveying of short metal sheets (such as lead frames, heat sinks, and contact sheets) is a key link in the production process. Currently, during the conveying and transportation of metal sheets, the sheets are placed haphazardly, requiring manual adjustment of their orientation one by one, which greatly increases labor costs and reduces production efficiency.
[0003] Chinese patent discloses a special conveying device for metal sheets (authorization announcement number CN217577051U). This patented technology uses a contact block on a turntable to move the metal sheet while it contacts the inclined surface on the barrier plate. A first motor drives a movable block, which repeatedly pushes the movable plate, causing it to shake. The metal sheet adjusts its position along the inclined surface and enters the chute, causing the metal sheet on the movable plate to fall onto the slide plate along the chute direction and then onto the transmission belt for conveying in a uniform direction. This solves the problem that during the conveying and transportation of metal sheets, the sheets are often misplaced and require manual adjustment of their orientation, which greatly increases labor costs and reduces production efficiency.
[0004] However, it has certain drawbacks: although the combined action of the turntable and the moving plate can achieve directional adjustment, the metal sheets lack physical limiting structures during the descent of the chute and discharge chute, making it impossible to separate the stacked sheets. This causes the stacked sheets to fall directly onto the conveyor belt surface, resulting in the need for secondary sorting in subsequent processes, which restricts work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a metal short piece conveying mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A metal short sheet conveying mechanism includes a metal short sheet conveyor belt and a feeding mechanism located to the right of the metal short sheet conveyor belt. A limiting mechanism is provided at the left end of the feeding mechanism. The limiting mechanism includes a horizontal plate. Multiple baffles are uniformly fixed to the upper surface of the horizontal plate from front to back. Multiple rolling balls are embedded and connected between adjacent baffles on the upper surface of the horizontal plate. A limiting member is provided on the outside of the horizontal plate.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the feeding mechanism includes an inclined plate, two supports are symmetrically fixed to the lower surface of the inclined plate, and a protective frame is fixed to the outer edge of the right end of the upper surface of the inclined plate. A vibration motor is fixed to the right side surface of the protective frame, and multiple baffles are evenly fixed to the upper surface of the inclined plate from front to back on the left side of the protective frame.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the limiting component includes a C-shaped plate, the upper surface of the C-shaped plate is threadedly connected to a threaded rod, the lower end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to a connecting plate, the upper surface of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the threaded rod, and the lower surface of the connecting plate is evenly fixedly connected to multiple limiting plates from front to back.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the upper surface of the horizontal plate is lower than the upper surface of the inclined plate, and the upper end of the ball is flush with the left end of the upper surface of the inclined plate.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the number of baffle one and baffle two are equal, and baffle one is directly opposite baffle two.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the C-shaped plate is fixed to the front and rear surfaces of the horizontal plate, the connecting rod moves through the upper surface of the C-shaped plate, the limiting plate is located between two adjacent baffles, and the limiting plate moves and fits against the baffles.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model has a feeding mechanism, in which the baffles allow the metal pieces to fall evenly and neatly onto the surface of the metal piece conveyor belt, avoiding a messy or disorderly phenomenon.
[0015] 2. This utility model, by setting up a limiting mechanism, in which a limiting plate is vertically suspended between two adjacent baffles, effectively blocks the stacked metal pieces, allowing only a single layer of metal piece to pass through the gap between it and the horizontal plate. This completely solves the problem of stacked and staggered feeding of metal pieces in the prior art, ensuring that the metal pieces on the conveyor belt surface are neatly and evenly distributed, improving subsequent processing efficiency and yield. The distance between the limiting plate and the horizontal plate can be quickly adjusted by rotating the threaded rod, flexibly adapting to metal pieces of different thicknesses. It can meet diverse production needs without replacing parts, significantly improving the equipment's versatility. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment of the utility model, a metal short sheet conveying mechanism includes a metal short sheet conveyor belt 1 and a feeding mechanism 2 located to the right of the metal short sheet conveyor belt 1. The feeding mechanism 2 includes an inclined plate 3. Two supports 4 are symmetrically fixed to the lower surface of the inclined plate 3, and a protective frame 5 is fixed to the outer edge of the right end of the upper surface of the inclined plate 3. A vibration motor 6 is fixed to the right surface of the protective frame 5. Multiple baffles 7 are evenly fixed from front to back on the upper surface of the inclined plate 3 located to the left of the protective frame 5.
[0022] The support 4 can be fixed to the ground by expansion bolts or to other platforms by welding or other methods to avoid displacement; an elastic mechanism (which can be a spring) is provided between the support 4 and the inclined plate 3 to reduce the resonance of the support 4.
[0023] The vibration amplitude of the vibration motor 6 is adjustable, and it is used to drive the inclined plate 3 to vibrate, causing the metal short piece on it to move to the left.
[0024] The metal pieces slide down between two adjacent baffles 7 and fall onto the metal piece conveyor belt 1, so that the metal pieces fall evenly onto the surface of the metal piece conveyor belt 1, avoiding the metal pieces falling onto the surface of the metal piece conveyor belt 1 in a crisscrossed and messy state.
[0025] Metal strip conveyor belt 1 is used to transport metal strips from right to left.
[0026] exist Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In the middle: A limiting mechanism 8 is provided at the left end of the unloading mechanism 2. The limiting mechanism 8 includes a horizontal plate 9. The upper surface of the horizontal plate 9 is lower than the upper surface of the inclined plate 3. Multiple baffles 10 are evenly fixed to the upper surface of the horizontal plate 9 from front to back. The number of baffles 7 and baffles 10 is equal, and baffles 7 are directly opposite baffles 10. Multiple rolling balls 11 are embedded and connected between adjacent baffles 10 on the upper surface of the horizontal plate 9. The upper ends of the rolling balls 11 are flush with the left end of the upper surface of the inclined plate 3. A limiting member 12 is provided on the outside of the horizontal plate 9. Includes a C-shaped plate 13, which is fixed to the front and rear surfaces of the horizontal plate 9. A threaded rod 14 is threaded through the upper surface of the C-shaped plate 13. A connecting plate 15 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the threaded rod 14. A connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the threaded rod 14 on the upper surface of the connecting plate 15. The connecting rod 16 movably passes through the upper surface of the C-shaped plate 13. A plurality of limiting plates 17 are evenly fixed to the lower surface of the connecting plate 15 from front to back. The limiting plates 17 are located between two adjacent baffles 10 and are movably attached to the baffles 10.
[0027] The limiting plate 17 is used to block the stacked metal pieces, allowing the lower layer of metal pieces to pass through and preventing multiple metal pieces from stacking together and falling onto the surface of the metal piece conveyor belt 1.
[0028] Rotating the threaded rod 14 causes the connecting plate 15 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting plate 17 and the horizontal plate 9, which is suitable for metal short pieces of different thicknesses;
[0029] The ball bearing 11 allows the metal strip to slide smoothly off the surface of the horizontal plate 9.
[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During normal feeding, the vibration motor 6 is started and adjusted to a suitable vibration amplitude, driving the inclined plate 3 to vibrate, causing the metal short pieces on the inclined plate 3 to move to the left; after passing through the equally spaced channels formed by the baffle 7, the metal short pieces slide to the surface of the horizontal plate 9 through the left end of the inclined plate 3, and continue to move to the left with the help of the rolling guide of the ball 11; at this time, the limiting plate 17 in the limiting mechanism 8 is vertically suspended between the baffles 10. When the stacked metal short pieces pass by, the limiting plate 17 blocks the upper metal pieces, allowing only a single layer of metal pieces to pass through the gap between the limiting plate 17 and the horizontal plate 9, and finally falls evenly onto the surface of the metal short piece conveyor belt 1, which completes the directional conveying; when the limiting height needs to be adjusted, the threaded rod 14 on the C-shaped plate 13 is rotated, driving the connecting plate 15 to lift the limiting plate 17 as a whole, and the motion stability is maintained by the connecting rod 16, so that the distance between the lower edge of the limiting plate 17 and the horizontal plate 9 matches the thickness of the metal short pieces, ensuring the limiting accuracy.
