Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bonding equipment technology, and in particular relates to a bonding equipment for aluminum honeycomb core production materials. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum honeycomb core is a lightweight and strong material that is widely used in aerospace, automotive, construction, shipbuilding and other fields that require high strength and low weight;

[0003] The basic structure of an aluminum honeycomb core is similar to a honeycomb in nature, typically composed of multiple hexagonal units. These units are formed by folding and pressing aluminum foil in a specific manner into a honeycomb shape. The outer layer of the honeycomb core is usually an aluminum plate or aluminum alloy plate, which gives the aluminum honeycomb core strong compressive strength and structural stability.

[0004] Aluminum honeycomb cores are formed by combining honeycomb units and outer materials. In addition, depending on the use, packaging, and transportation of aluminum honeycomb cores, a thin film material needs to be pasted on its surface for protection.

[0005] Existing lamination equipment gathers the film material and aluminum honeycomb core in one location and then performs the lamination work on a single machine. Although this ensures efficiency during lamination, the time spent on handling and collecting the materials is long, so the overall production efficiency has not been improved as expected.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes an aluminum honeycomb core production material bonding device. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bonding equipment for aluminum honeycomb core production materials, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] This utility model relates to a laminating device for aluminum honeycomb core production materials, comprising a film conveyor belt for conveying film material, a frame erected directly above the front end of the film conveyor belt in the conveying direction, the front and rear ends of the frame for the aluminum honeycomb core to pass through being perpendicular to the film feeding direction of the film conveyor belt; fixed guide rollers that can rotate synchronously and are installed at the ends of the frame in the direction of entering and exiting the aluminum honeycomb core; and a movable guide roller provided between the two fixed guide rollers for synchronously conveying the aluminum honeycomb core, the movable guide roller being able to move to the side in conjunction with the fixed guide rollers and create a space for the aluminum honeycomb core to move down and be laminated with the film on the film conveyor belt.

[0010] Furthermore, both ends of the fixed guide roller are provided with synchronous pulleys, and multiple hollow gears are rotatably mounted on the film conveyor belt via U-shaped seats. The synchronous pulleys, hollow gears, and adjacent hollow gears are linked by a synchronous belt.

[0011] Furthermore, a protective box is installed on the film conveyor belt to cover the synchronous pulley, hollow gear, U-shaped seat, and synchronous belt, and a conveyor motor fixed to one of the synchronous pulleys is installed at one end of the protective box.

[0012] Furthermore, the movable guide rollers are a plurality of horizontally distributed rollers that are simultaneously rotatably mounted on the movable seat. A spline shaft and a linear guide rod are fixed on the outside of the movable seat. The hollow gear has a spline hole that slides through the spline shaft. The film conveyor belt has a through hole that slides through the linear guide rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the protective box is provided with a through hole for the horizontal movement of the spline shaft and the linear guide rod.

[0014] Furthermore, both ends of the movable seat are fixed with internal threaded sleeves, and the film conveyor belt is rotatably provided with a bidirectional lead screw that mates with the internal threaded sleeves.

[0015] Furthermore, the bidirectional lead screw is arranged symmetrically in two parts and linked by a pulley group, and an obstacle avoidance motor that drives the bidirectional lead screw is installed on one side of the film conveyor belt.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention installs an aluminum honeycomb core conveying component at the end of an aluminum honeycomb core production equipment, directly receiving the aluminum honeycomb cores at the end of the equipment. Then, a film conveyor belt is set up from the lower end of the aluminum honeycomb core conveying component in an overlapping manner. After the aluminum honeycomb core is aligned on the aluminum honeycomb core conveying component, it is bonded to the film on the film conveyor belt by sinking. This bonding device can be directly installed at the end of the aluminum honeycomb core production equipment and achieves automatic bonding through the cooperation of a suction cup robot and a film conveyor belt, eliminating the need for aluminum honeycomb core transfer work, so that the aluminum honeycomb cores can be directly packaged and used after coming off the production line.

[0018] This invention drives the fixed guide roller and the movable guide roller simultaneously, and the movable guide roller can also move to both sides to avoid obstruction. While ensuring reliable conveying, it provides space for the aluminum honeycomb core to move downward and adhere to the film on the film conveyor belt. The movement paths of the film and the aluminum honeycomb core are vertically distributed, which avoids the overall equipment being too long and improves space utilization.

[0019] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0028] 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.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model is a laminating equipment for aluminum honeycomb core production materials, including a film conveyor belt 1 for conveying film material, a frame 2 erected directly above the front end of the film conveyor belt 1 in the conveying direction, the front and rear ends of the frame 2 for the aluminum honeycomb core to pass through being perpendicular to the film feeding direction of the film conveyor belt 1; fixed guide rollers 3 that can rotate synchronously and are installed at the ends of the frame 2 in the direction of entering and exiting the aluminum honeycomb core; between the two fixed guide rollers 3, there is a movable guide roller 4 that is synchronously used to convey the aluminum honeycomb core, the movable guide roller 4 can move to the side in linkage with the fixed guide rollers 3 and open up a space for the aluminum honeycomb core to move down to be laminated with the film on the film conveyor belt 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the fixed guide roller 3 is equipped with synchronous wheels 6 at both ends, and multiple hollow gears 7 are rotatably installed on the film conveyor belt 1 through U-shaped seats 8. The synchronous wheels 6 and hollow gears 7, as well as two adjacent hollow gears 7, are linked by synchronous belts 9. In this embodiment, the method of driving one by one by synchronous belts 9 has high reliability and will not cause tooth derailment.

[0032] The film conveyor belt 1 is equipped with a protective box 5 that covers the synchronous pulley 6, hollow gear 7, U-shaped seat 8, and synchronous belt 9. One end of the protective box 5 is equipped with a conveyor motor 10 that is fixed to one of the synchronous pulleys 6. In this embodiment, the protective box 5 plays a protective role for the transmission part.

[0033] In this embodiment, several movable guide rollers 4 are horizontally distributed and rotatably mounted on the movable base 11. A splined shaft 12 and a linear guide rod 13 are fixed on the outside of the movable base 11. A splined hole 14 is provided inside the hollow gear 7, which slides through the splined shaft 12. A through hole is provided on the film conveyor belt 1, which slides through the linear guide rod 13. A through hole is provided on the protective box 5 for the horizontal movement of the splined shaft 12 and the linear guide rod 13. In this embodiment, the lateral displacement can be achieved without affecting the synchronous driving of the movable guide rollers 4 and the fixed guide rollers 3 through the sliding fit between the splined shaft 12 and the splined hole 14. It has the advantages of simple and reliable structure, high stability and high fit.

[0034] The movable seat 11 has internal threaded sleeves 15 fixed at both ends, and a bidirectional screw 16 that mates with the internal threaded sleeves 15 is rotatably mounted on the film conveyor belt 1. In this embodiment, the screw engagement has the advantages of simple and reliable structure and high flexibility.

[0035] Among them, the two bidirectional lead screws 16 are arranged symmetrically and linked by the pulley group 17. The avoidance motor 18 that drives the bidirectional lead screws 16 is installed on one side of the film conveyor belt 1. In this embodiment, the two bidirectional lead screws 16 are driven by the avoidance motor 18 simultaneously under the linkage of the pulley group 17, so as to ensure the consistency and accuracy of the movement of all movable guide rollers 4.

[0036] Understandably, the fixed and movable guide rollers can directly catch the aluminum honeycomb cores coming from the production line, eliminating the need to transfer the aluminum honeycomb cores for film application. At the same time, the vertically distributed film conveyor belt below reduces the length of the equipment and improves space utilization. The movable guide rollers are movable, and when they move, they can move the aluminum honeycomb cores located above them down to be bonded to the film on the film conveyor belt. The bonding can be completed using a suction cup robotic arm. After bonding, the aluminum honeycomb cores continue to be conveyed backward through the fixed and movable guide rollers. The overall equipment has a high degree of integration and occupies little space.

[0037] One specific application of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 The arrows indicate the conveying direction of the aluminum honeycomb core and the film. This device, in conjunction with a suction cup robot, can achieve automated film application through sensors and controllers.

[0038] After the aluminum honeycomb core is conveyed out of the production line, it is received by fixed guide rollers 3 and movable guide rollers 4. The conveyor motor 10 drives the synchronous pulley 6 and hollow gear 7 to rotate in the same direction through multiple synchronous belts 9. The hollow gear 7 drives the movable guide roller 4 to rotate in the same direction through the splined shaft 12, thereby conveying the aluminum honeycomb core to the desired location. Figure 1 In the state shown, the robotic arm moves down and holds the aluminum honeycomb core using a suction cup. The output of motor 18, through the internal threaded sleeve 15 and the bidirectional lead screw 16, drives the movable guide rollers 4 and movable seat 11 at both ends to move laterally simultaneously. This creates downward space directly below the aluminum honeycomb core. As the movable guide rollers 4 move laterally, the film conveyor belt 1 has already transported the cut film to directly below the aluminum honeycomb core. The robotic arm moves down to press the aluminum honeycomb core and film together. The pressing process is as follows: Figure 2 The state shown;

[0039] After lamination is completed, the robotic arm moves the aluminum honeycomb core with the film already applied upwards. At this time, the movable guide roller 4 returns to the center. After the robotic arm is released, the conveyor motor 10 starts again and pushes the aluminum honeycomb core with the film applied outwards. The fixed guide roller 3 and the movable guide roller 4 continue to receive aluminum honeycomb cores on the production line for lamination again.
