Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of material sorting devices, specifically a sheet material sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of sheet metal by laser cutting machines, it is often necessary to sort the sheet metal manually. In the past, sorting was a laborious, costly, and error-prone operation. In addition, the complex shape and disorderly stacking of the sheet metal also caused inconvenience during manual sorting.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing methods utilize conveyor lines and industrial cameras to convert the angles and positions of the boards into coordinates, which are then sorted by a sorting device. This approach minimizes errors, significantly reduces costs, and allows for faster sorting even of complex shapes and disorganized stacking. However, while this method solves the problems, it also introduces new challenges. Repeatedly adsorbing the boards and contacting the suction cups with the board surface exposes the suction cups to dust, reducing their adsorption capacity. Furthermore, each time the suction cup descends and contacts the board surface, the weight of the board causes the suction cups to wobble, which can easily lead to instability in the connection between multiple suction cups and the rotating frame.

The servo motor four is installed on the lower side of the surface of the mounting plate two, and the output end of the servo motor four is connected to a gear and passes through the mounting plate two and the long tooth two to form a gear connection.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a sheet material sorting device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This sorting device, through the distribution of air pipes, refers to... Figure 2 and Figure 7As can be seen, the air tubes are distributed in a U-shape, positioned between the two sets of vacuum suction cups. This allows for the downward blowing of powerful air when the rotating frame descends, effectively removing dust from the surface of the board. Furthermore, the distribution of the air nozzles is consistent with the distribution of the air tubes, and multiple sets are provided to enhance dust removal.

The support plates not only fix the air pipes, but also stabilize the vacuum suction cups through the blocks. Therefore, when the vacuum suction cups come into contact with the material, the vacuum suction cups will not loosen due to the impact of contact or the weight of the material.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example

[0026] Please see Figure 1-9 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a sheet material sorting device, including a base frame 1, a crossbeam 2 installed on the upper end of the base frame 1, an X-axis moving structure, a Y-axis moving structure, and a Z-axis moving structure. A rotating structure is installed at the lower end of the Z-axis moving structure, and a cleaning and adsorption structure is installed on the rotating structure. The rotating structure includes a rotating drive structure and a connecting structure. The connecting structure is installed inside the Z-axis moving structure, and the rotating drive structure is installed on the connecting structure and forms a gear connection with the connecting structure. A cleaning and adsorption structure is installed at the lower end of the connecting structure. The cleaning and adsorption structure includes a rotating frame 5, an air pipe 7, a vacuum suction cup 10, a support plate 12, and an air outlet 13. The upper end of the rotating frame 5 is connected to the connecting structure and rotates with the rotation of the connecting structure. Vacuum suction cups 10 are distributed in a rectangular array at the lower end of the rotating frame 5. Support plates 12 are also installed at equal intervals at the lower end of the rotating frame 5. The two adjacent sets of support plates 12 are in contact with the outer side of the vacuum suction cups 10. Side plates are also provided between the two sets of support plates 12. The two sets of side plates wrap around the vacuum suction cups 10. U-shaped holes are opened on the surface of the support plate 12. The air pipes 7 are distributed in a U-shape and pass through the U-shaped holes between the two adjacent sets of vacuum suction cups 10. Air outlets 13 are installed on the surface of the air pipes 7. One end of the air pipes 7 is connected to the blower through a pipe.

[0027] In this implementation plan, the specific working principle is as follows: This device mainly works in conjunction with an industrial camera and a conveyor line. The sorting device spans the conveyor line, and the Z-axis moving structure is located above the conveyor line. Through the industrial camera, the coordinate points of the board are formed by the camera's capture, which facilitates the movement of the sorting device. The X-axis moving structure, Y-axis moving structure, and Z-axis moving structure are adjusted accordingly. When adjusting the height, the air pipe 7 is connected to the blower, and its high-speed airflow is sprayed out through the air nozzle 13, which can blow away the dust on the surface of the board, thereby preventing the problem of reduced suction force of the vacuum suction cup 10 due to dust on the surface of the board. Secondly, through the function of the support plate 12 and the baffle, the support plate 12 can not only fix the air pipe 7, but also stabilize the vacuum suction cup 10 through the baffle, preventing the vacuum suction cup 10 from shaking due to the weight of the board itself when it comes into contact with the board and then is lifted, which may reduce the connection strength with the rotating frame 5.

[0028] For details regarding the X-axis movement structure, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As can be seen, the X-axis moving structure includes a transverse moving frame 3, a moving seat 6, a servo motor 8, a rotating shaft 9, and a long tooth 11.

A gear is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 9. This gear and the long tooth 11 form a gear connection.

The output end of the servo motor 22 is connected to a gear and passes through the mounting plate 21 and the three-pronged gear 19 to form a gear connection. The servo motor 22 drives the gear to rotate, thereby driving the mounting plate 21 to move through the three-pronged gear 19, thereby driving the Z-axis moving structure to move.
