Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material distribution technology for card punching machines, and in particular to an automatic material distribution device used in card punching machines. Background Technology

[0002] In industries such as printing and card making, card punching machines are commonly used equipment to punch cards out of a sheet of material. Early card punching machines relied heavily on manual operation for material distribution. Workers had to manually remove the cards from the punching area and sort them after punching. This method was not only labor-intensive but also slow, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. For example, in some small printing workshops, the speed of manual material distribution limited the overall production efficiency of card punching machines, resulting in low daily output.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents have provided solutions. However, the automatic dispensing devices used in existing card punching machines typically lack a structure for quick replacement of dispensing components, making it difficult to adjust the dispensing configuration in a timely manner according to different card specifications. This necessitates complex disassembly or complete replacement using tools, affecting dispensing efficiency. Furthermore, they often lack card buffer protection, making the cards susceptible to physical damage from hard impacts during the dispensing process. This leads to an increased defect rate in finished products, further impacting dispensing efficiency and production continuity.

[0004] Therefore, an automatic material dispensing device for use in a card punching machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic material dispensing device for card punching machines, which can solve the problems of existing automatic material dispensing devices for card punching machines, which usually lack a structure for quick replacement of dispensing components, making it inconvenient to adjust the dispensing configuration in a timely manner according to different card specifications. This requires the use of tools for complex disassembly or overall replacement, which affects dispensing efficiency. Moreover, they usually lack card buffer protection, and the cards are easily damaged by hard impacts during the dispensing process, which leads to an increase in the defect rate of finished products and affects dispensing efficiency and production continuity.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic material dispensing device for a punching machine, comprising a base, a bottom plate being provided at the bottom of the base, an installation component being provided at the top of the bottom plate, and a material dispensing and collecting component being provided at the top of the installation component;

[0007] The mounting assembly includes a support platform fixedly connected to the top of the base. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the top of the support platform. A slider is slidably connected to the outer side of the slide rail. A support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the slider. Rotating plates are rotatably connected to both sides of the support plate. A fixed support rod is slidably connected to the outer side of the rotating plate. A movable magnetic block is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed support rod. An internal magnetic base is fixedly connected to the inside of the support platform.

[0008] Preferably, the material collection assembly includes a collection frame fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, a bracket fixedly connected inside the collection frame, a buffer spring fixedly connected inside the bracket, and a buffer guide plate fixedly connected to the top of the buffer spring.

[0009] Preferably, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the collection frame, the guide plate is located in front of the buffer guide plate, and a collection box is slidably connected to the front side of the collection frame, the collection box is located in front of the guide plate.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting cover plate is slidably connected to the rear side of the collection box, and a cover plate fixing seat is fixedly connected to both sides of the collection box, and the cover plate fixing seat is engaged with the connecting cover plate.

[0011] Preferably, a support column is fixedly connected to the rear side of the base, a moving mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the support column, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving mechanism, and a push plate is fixedly connected to the output section of the cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, a monitoring support is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the base, a visual sensor is provided on the top of the monitoring support, and laser displacement sensors are provided on both sides of the visual sensor.

[0013] Preferably, a conveyor belt body is provided on the top of the base, and rubber foot pads are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base.

[0014] Preferably, a pull rod is fixedly connected to the front side of the collection box, and an anti-slip sleeve is fitted on the outer side of the pull rod, the anti-slip sleeve being made of rubber.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This application enables the quick assembly and disassembly of the collection frame by setting up the installation components. When it is necessary to change the specifications of the collection frame, the fixed support rod is moved outward to make the movable magnetic block disengage from the inner fixed magnetic base. After rotating the rotating plate, the support plate is removed by sliding the slider on the slide rail. After the replacement is completed, the operation is reversed to fix it. This structure makes it easy to quickly switch between different collection frames according to the material distribution requirements, improving the adaptability of the equipment and maintenance efficiency.

[0017] 2. This application enables card buffering and convenient card placement by setting up a card distribution and collection component, ensuring a smooth and efficient distribution process. When the card falls in, the elastic buffer reduces the impact force and prevents the card edge from deforming or the surface from being scratched. Then, the inclined design of the guide plate guides the card to slide smoothly into the collection box, so as to ensure the stability and efficiency of the card distribution process.

[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] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0026] An automatic material dispensing device for a punching machine includes a base 1, a base 2 at the bottom of the base 1, an installation component 4 at the top of the base 2, and a material dispensing and collecting component 5 at the top of the installation component 4.

[0027] Mounting assembly 4 includes a support platform 401 fixedly connected to the top of the base 2. A slide rail 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the support platform 401. A slider 403 is slidably connected to the outer side of the slide rail 402. A support plate 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 403. Rotating plates 405 are rotatably connected to both sides of the support plate 404. A fixed support rod 406 is slidably connected to the outer side of the rotating plate 405. A movable magnetic block 407 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed support rod 406. An internally fixed magnetic seat 408 is fixedly connected inside the support platform 401.

[0028] In this embodiment: First, the fixed support rod 406 is moved outward, then the fixed support rod 406 drives the movable magnetic block 407 away from the inner fixed magnetic base 408, thereby releasing the fixation between the fixed support rod 406 and the support platform 401. Next, the rotating plate 405 is rotated to prevent it from rotating and getting stuck during replacement. Then, the slider 403 at the bottom of the support plate 404 slides on the slide rail 402 to remove the support plate 404. Finally, the collecting frame 501 is released. When the new collection frame 501 is replaced, the support plate 404 and the collection frame 501 are slid back to their original positions on the support platform 401 by the slider 403 and the slide rail 402. Then, the rotating plate 405 is rotated so that the rotating plate 405 is back on both sides of the support platform 401. Then, the fixed support rod 406 is slid to fix the movable magnetic block 407 inside the fixed support rod 406 to the inner fixed magnetic seat 408, so as to complete the quick replacement of the collection frame 501.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the material collection assembly 5 includes a collection frame 501 fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 404, a frame base 502 fixedly connected inside the collection frame 501, a buffer spring 503 fixedly connected inside the frame base 502, and a buffer guide plate 504 fixedly connected to the top of the buffer spring 503.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a guide plate 505 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the collection frame 501. The guide plate 505 is located in front of the buffer guide plate 504. A collection box 506 is slidably connected to the front side of the collection frame 501. The collection box 506 is located in front of the guide plate 505.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, a connecting cover plate 507 is slidably connected to the rear side of the collection box 506, and a cover plate fixing seat 508 is fixedly connected to both sides of the collection box 506. The cover plate fixing seat 508 is engaged with the connecting cover plate 507.

[0032] In this embodiment: when the card is pushed into the collection frame 501, it first falls on the top of the buffer guide plate 504. The buffer guide plate 504 and the buffer spring 503 can buffer the card's fall to prevent edge deformation and surface scratches caused by the impact of the falling card. Then, the buffer guide plate 504 guides and transports the card, and then it falls on the top of the guide support plate 505. The guide support plate 505 is designed to be inclined, so that the card can move on the guide support plate 505 to stably move into the corresponding collection box 506. After sorting is completed, the fixing between the connecting cover plate 507 and the cover plate fixing seat 508 is first released, so that the connecting cover plate 507 and the collection box 506 form a sealed state to prevent the card from slipping during transportation.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a support column 3 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the base 2, a moving mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the support column 3, a cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving mechanism 6, and a push plate 8 is fixedly connected to the output section of the cylinder 7.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a monitoring support 9 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the base 1. A vision sensor 10 is installed on the top of the monitoring support 9, and laser displacement sensors 11 are installed on both sides of the vision sensor 10.

[0035] In this embodiment: by setting up a support column 3, a moving mechanism 6, a cylinder 7, and a pusher plate 8, after the card moves to the sorting area with the conveyor belt, the moving mechanism 6, installed on the top of the support column 3 on the rear side of the base 2, is activated and moves laterally to above the target sorting track according to the detection system command. Subsequently, the cylinder 7 at the bottom of the moving mechanism 6 drives the pusher plate 8 to extend downward and contact the surface of the conveyor belt. Then, the moving mechanism 6 applies a pushing force to push the card away from the conveyor belt to the corresponding collection frame 501 inlet. After the pusher plate 8 completes the pushing, the piston rod of the cylinder 7 retracts, and the moving mechanism 6 returns to its initial position, waiting for the next card sorting command. During the sorting process, the pusher plate 8 uses flexible contact when it comes into contact with the card to ensure... The cards smoothly transition to the collection frame 501 without impact damage. By setting up monitoring support 9, vision sensor 10, and laser displacement sensor 11, when the card moves with the conveyor belt to below the monitoring support 9 on the left side of the base 1, the vision sensor 10 installed on the top of the monitoring support 9 automatically starts to acquire images of the card surface and simultaneously identify the card's size, color, batch number, and surface defects. At the same time, the laser displacement sensors 11 on both sides emit laser beams to quickly measure the card's thickness and edge flatness. The detection data is transmitted to the control system in real time. After algorithm analysis, the corresponding sorting instructions are generated and sent to the material sorting execution mechanism to ensure that the cards are accurately sorted according to the preset rules.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a conveyor belt body 12 is provided on the top of the base 1, and a rubber foot pad 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a pull rod 14 is fixedly connected to the front side of the collection box 506, and an anti-slip sleeve 15 is fitted on the outside of the pull rod 14. The anti-slip sleeve 15 is made of rubber.

[0038] In this embodiment: by setting up a conveyor belt body 12 and rubber pads 13, after the card punching machine completes the card punching, the card falls directly onto the conveyor belt body 12 at the top of the base 1, and is conveyed to the material distribution device at a constant speed by the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is made of anti-static rubber material to ensure that the cards do not stick or shift during the conveying process. At the same time, the rubber pads 13 at the bottom of the base 1 absorb the vibration of the conveyor belt during operation through elastic deformation, keeping the whole device stable and avoiding card stacking tilting or a decrease in material distribution accuracy due to mechanical vibration. Rubber foot pads 13 can enhance the friction between the device and the ground, ensuring that the equipment does not shift when running at high speed. By setting up pull rods 14 and anti-slip sleeves 15, when the cards in the collection frame 501 fall into the collection box 506 through the buffer guide plate 504 and gradually fill up, the operator holds the pull rod 14 on the front side of the collection box 506 and uses the anti-slip sleeves 15 to increase the friction, and pulls the collection box 506 horizontally out from the front side of the collection frame 501. After taking it out, the rear connecting cover 507 is opened to pour out the cards. After cleaning, the collection frame 501 is reinserted.

[0039] Working Principle: In the automatic material feeding device used with the card punching machine, the conveyor belt 12 is first started. The conveyor belt 12 then moves the processed cards. The conveyor belt is made of rubber with an anti-static surface treatment to prevent cards from sticking or being electrostatically attracted, ensuring smooth feeding. During the conveying process, when the cards move with the conveyor belt to below the monitoring support 9, the vision sensor 10 acquires images of the card size and batch number. Simultaneously, the laser displacement sensors 11 on both sides measure the card thickness and edge flatness to accurately identify the card type. This data is then transmitted to the control system. After the detection system determines the card specifications, the control system drives the moving mechanism 6. Next, the moving mechanism 6 drives the cylinder 7 to move, and then the output section of the cylinder 7 extends and retracts, causing the push plate 8 to move downwards and contact the conveyor belt body 12. Then, the moving mechanism 6 and the push plate 8 sort the cards on the conveyor belt body 12, pushing cards of different specifications to different positions in the collecting frame 501 to achieve automatic material distribution. When the cards are pushed into the inside of the collecting frame 501, they first fall on the top of the buffer guide plate 504. The buffer guide plate 504 and the buffer spring 503 can buffer the cards as they fall, preventing edge deformation and surface scratches caused by the impact of the falling cards. Then, the buffer guide plate 504 guides and conveys the cards, and then they fall into the guide support plate 505. At the top, the guide plate 505 is designed to be inclined, allowing the cards to move stably within the corresponding collection box 506. After sorting, the connection between the cover plate 507 and the cover plate fixing seat 508 is first released, creating a seal between the cover plate 507 and the collection box 506 to prevent the cards from slipping during transport. When it is necessary to replace the collection frame 501 according to the sorting specifications, the fixed support rod 406 is first moved outward. Then, the fixed support rod 406 moves the movable magnetic block 407 away from the inner magnetic seat 408, releasing the fixation between the fixed support rod 406 and the support platform 401. Finally, the rotating plate 405 is rotated to prevent it from rotating during replacement. The plate 405 rotates and becomes stuck. Then, the slider 403 at the bottom of the support plate 404 slides on the slide rail 402 to remove the support plate 404. Next, the fixing between the collection frame 501 and the support plate 404 is released. When the new collection frame 501 is replaced, the slider 403 and the slide rail 402 slide the support plate 404 and the collection frame 501 back to their original positions on the support platform 401. Then, the rotating plate 405 is rotated so that it is back on both sides of the support platform 401. Then, the fixed support rod 406 is slid to fix the movable magnetic block 407 inside the fixed support rod 406 to the inner fixed magnetic seat 408, so as to complete the quick replacement of the collection frame 501.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
