Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet material feeding technology, specifically to an automatic sheet material feeding robot device. Background Technology

[0002] In today's life, with the rapid advancement of technology, the biggest difference between robotic arms and human arms lies in their flexibility and endurance. The greatest advantage of robotic arms is that they can repeatedly perform the same action without ever getting tired under normal mechanical conditions. As a result, the application of robotic arms will become more and more widespread.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN211643860U discloses an automatic sheet metal feeding robot, including a gantry crane and a feeding mechanism. An adjustment box is vertically movable on the side of the crossbeam at the end of the gantry crane away from the moving slide rail via an adjustable guide rail. A control box is vertically and symmetrically movable on the side of the adjustment box outside the gantry crane via a height adjustment plate. The feeding mechanism includes a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate, and a feeding conveyor frame. Hydraulic telescopic rods are horizontally arranged on the left and right sides of the first clamping plate. Pneumatic suction cups are vertically fixed on the bottom surfaces of the first and second clamping plates via spring linkages. An infrared sensor is vertically arranged on the outer surface of the top conveyor belt of the feeding conveyor frame. This invention adjusts the second clamping plate using hydraulic telescopic rods to meet the feeding needs of sheets of different sizes while ensuring stable and reliable clamping operation. The clamping and feeding operations are completed under the action of a pneumatic pump and pneumatic suction cups, resulting in good performance.

[0004] The above-mentioned device uses a pneumatic pump in conjunction with a pneumatic suction cup to complete the feeding of the sheet metal. However, there are many different types of sheet metal. When feeding some heavier sheet metal such as iron sheet metal and metal sheet metal, the pneumatic suction cup alone is not enough to feed these heavier sheet metal, which may easily cause the sheet metal to slip during the feeding process and thus damage the sheet metal. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, an automatic sheet material feeding robot is provided. This robot uses an air pump in conjunction with a pneumatic suction cup to adsorb the sheet material. Simultaneously, a drive motor rotates the gears, causing two racks to move closer together. As the racks approach each other, two clamping blocks and an anti-slip pad also move closer together. The two clamping blocks grip both sides of the sheet material, ensuring it does not fall during the feeding process.

[0006] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic sheet metal feeding robot device, comprising two feeding racks, a conveyor belt for transporting sheet metal is rotatably arranged between the two feeding racks, an installation frame is provided on the top of the feeding racks, an electromagnetic slide rail is provided inside the installation frame, an electromagnetic slider is slidably arranged at the bottom of the electromagnetic slide rail, a robot arm is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the electromagnetic slider, a feeding frame is rotatably arranged at the movable end of the robot arm, and a clamping component for moving the sheet metal is provided inside the feeding frame.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes limiting telescopic rods disposed on the inner walls of both sides of the feeding frame, a clamping block is disposed at the telescopic end of the limiting telescopic rod, a rack is disposed on one side of the clamping block, a drive motor is disposed at the top of the feeding frame, a gear is disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor and meshes with the rack, and a moving groove for the rack to move is provided at the top of the feeding frame.

[0008] Preferably, the other side of the clamping block is provided with an anti-slip pad to prevent the plate from slipping.

[0009] Preferably, the inside of the feeding frame is provided with multiple pneumatic suction cups for adsorbing the board, and the top of the feeding frame is provided with an air pump, the output end of which is connected to the inside of the pneumatic suction cups through a pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the inside of the feeding frame is provided with an electromagnetic chuck for adsorbing iron plates.

[0011] Preferably, the inside of the feeding frame is also provided with an infrared sensor for detecting the position of the board.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0013] 1. The air pump works in conjunction with the pneumatic suction cup to adsorb the board. At the same time, the drive motor drives the gear to rotate. As the gear rotates, it also drives the two racks to move closer together. When the two racks move closer together, the two clamping blocks and the anti-slip pads also move closer together. The two clamping blocks can clamp the two sides of the board to ensure that the board will not fall off during the loading process.

[0014] 2. The electromagnetic chuck technology can effectively achieve the adsorption operation of iron plates. This process not only ensures the safety of the plates during the loading process and avoids the potential danger of the plates falling, but also significantly improves the efficiency of the loading work, making the entire production process smoother and more efficient.

[0022] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides:

[0024] An automatic sheet metal feeding robot includes two feeding racks 1, a conveyor belt 7 for transporting sheet metal is rotatably arranged between the two feeding racks 1, a mounting frame 2 is provided on the top of the feeding rack 1, an electromagnetic slide rail 6 is provided inside the mounting frame 2, an electromagnetic slider 5 is slidably arranged at the bottom of the electromagnetic slide rail 6, a robot arm 3 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the electromagnetic slider 5, a feeding frame 4 is rotatably arranged at the movable end of the robot arm 3, and a clamping component for moving the sheet metal is provided inside the feeding frame 4.

[0025] With precise control of the robotic arm 3 and the auxiliary function of the loading frame 4, the sheet metal can be safely moved above the conveyor belt 7. Then, utilizing the continuous conveying capacity of the conveyor belt 7, the sheet metal can be smoothly moved to the designated position on the production line, thus preparing it for subsequent processing steps. Furthermore, the efficient cooperation between the electromagnetic guide rail 6 and the electromagnetic slider 5 enables precise movement and loading of sheet metal at any position on the production line, greatly improving production efficiency and flexibility.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping assembly includes limiting telescopic rods 12 disposed on the inner walls of both sides of the feeding frame 4. A clamping block 13 is disposed at the telescopic end of the limiting telescopic rod 12. A rack 14 is disposed on one side of the clamping block 13. A drive motor 16 is disposed at the top of the feeding frame 4. A gear 15 that meshes with the rack 14 is disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor 16. A moving groove for the rack 14 to move is opened at the top of the feeding frame 4.

[0027] The drive motor 16 drives the gear 15 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear 15 also drives the two racks 14 to move closer to each other. When the two racks 14 move closer to each other, the two clamping blocks 13 and the anti-slip pad 17 also move closer to each other. The two clamping blocks 13 can clamp the two sides of the board so that the board will not fall off when it is moved and loaded.

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, an anti-slip pad 17 is provided on the other side of the clamping block 13 to prevent the plate from slipping.

[0029] By using the anti-slip mat 17, the stability and safety of the sheet metal during the two key processes of movement and loading can be significantly improved. The anti-slip mat 17 effectively prevents the sheet metal from slipping during the entire operation, further ensuring the safety and efficiency of production operations.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the inside of the feeding frame 4 is equipped with multiple pneumatic suction cups 9 for adsorbing the board, and the top of the feeding frame 4 is equipped with an air pump 8. The output end of the air pump 8 is connected to the inside of the pneumatic suction cups 9 through a pipe.

[0031] By utilizing the synergistic mechanism between the air pump 8 and the pneumatic suction cup 9, the adsorption operation on the board material can be performed efficiently and precisely. During this process, the air pump 8 provides stable air pressure, while the pneumatic suction cup 9 uses this power to tightly adhere to and firmly adhere to the surface of the board material. This combination not only ensures the stability of the board material during the gripping phase but also greatly improves the controllability and safety during handling, achieving stable and efficient management of the entire process from gripping to handling.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, the inside of the feeding frame 4 is equipped with an electromagnetic chuck 10 for adsorbing iron plates.

[0033] By using the electromagnetic chuck 10, iron plates can be effectively adsorbed, thereby ensuring that the plates will not fall during the loading process and improving the efficiency of loading.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, an infrared sensor 11 for detecting the position of the board is also installed inside the feeding frame 4.

[0035] The precise location of the sheet material is detected by an infrared sensor 11 inside the feeding frame 4, ensuring accurate positioning and processing. The use of sensors improves the accuracy and efficiency of the entire production process, enabling smooth sheet material processing and subsequent handling, and ensuring consistent and reliable product quality.

[0036] Working Principle: During the board loading process, the infrared sensor 11 inside the loading frame 4 is first used to accurately detect the specific position of the board. Once the infrared sensor 11 successfully detects the position of the board, the loading frame 4 will promptly cover and position the board. Subsequently, through the operation of the air pump 8, in conjunction with the suction function of the pneumatic suction cup 9, the board can be firmly adsorbed. At the same time, the drive motor 16 is started, which drives the gear 15 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 15 will cause the two racks 14 to move closer to each other. As the two racks 14 gradually approach each other, the clamping block 13 and the anti-slip pad 17 will also move towards the sides of the board accordingly. By using the clamping block 13 to hold the sides of the board and the anti-slip pad 17 to prevent the board from slipping during the loading process, the risk of damage due to falling of the board can be avoided. In particular, when feeding iron plates, in addition to the above-mentioned adsorption measures, an electromagnetic chuck 10 can be used to additionally adsorb the iron plates, which can further ensure the stability and safety of the plates during the feeding process and prevent the plates from falling.
