Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smelting equipment technology, specifically to an automatic feeding and turning device for metal sheets. Background Technology

[0002] Server cooler copper profiles are irregularly shaped copper components specifically designed for the heat dissipation needs of high-performance servers. By optimizing the thermal conductivity, structural form, and surface treatment technology of copper, they achieve efficient collaboration with intelligent temperature control systems. Their core function is to maximize heat dissipation efficiency within a limited space, while adapting to the thermal management requirements under dynamic server loads. For some common copper plates used for heat dissipation, heat dissipation pipes are often connected to the sides of the copper plate, and fixing these heat dissipation pipes requires a specific angle for easy installation.

[0003] The authorization announcement number CN215158755U discloses a feeding and flipping device for aluminum frame processing. According to its instruction manual and drawings, the solution is as follows: the output end of the motor rotates to drive the bevel gear to rotate, and through the cooperation between the bevel gear and the gear, the turntable is driven to rotate, thereby achieving the function of flipping the aluminum frame. At the same time, the servo motor drives the turntable to rotate, thereby transporting the flipped aluminum frame from the profile arranging equipment to the aluminum frame processing equipment.

[0004] However, this type of feeding equipment still has some problems: 1. When flipping, the stability of the profile after clamping is insufficient, and it is easy to fall off; 2. There is no corresponding structure to clamp profiles of different sizes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the problems encountered during the feeding and conveying of copper plates by proposing an automatic feeding and flipping device for metal plates. The flipping and clamping mechanism can change the horizontally placed copper profile into a vertically placed copper plate. In this vertical state, the direction of the lateral force on the copper plate is perpendicular to the plane of the plate. The stress is dispersed by multi-point support through the first and second limiting shafts, thus optimizing the processing effect of subsequent processes.

[0006] The purpose of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic feeding and turning device for metal sheets, including a gantry support, a first conveying mechanism at the top of the gantry support, a material grabbing mechanism for grabbing materials connected to the bottom of the conveying support plate of the first conveying mechanism, and a feeding mechanism capable of continuously feeding materials and a turning and clamping mechanism capable of clamping and turning materials are provided below the gantry support.

[0007] Preferably, the first conveying mechanism includes a first drive motor, roller support blocks, a first roller, a second roller, a drive belt, a conveyor belt, and a conveying support plate. The first drive motor and several roller support blocks are disposed on the top of the gantry bracket. Each roller support block has a first roller rotatably connected inside. At least one side of the first roller is fixedly connected to a second roller. The second roller is connected to the shaft end of the first drive motor via a drive belt. The surface of the first roller is connected to the conveyor belt, and the surface of the conveyor belt is provided with a conveying support plate.

[0008] Preferably, the material handling mechanism includes a first material handling support plate, a first guide rod, a second material handling support plate, a material handling suction cup, and a first cylinder. The top of the first material handling support plate is connected to the bottom of the conveying support plate. Several first guide rods are slidably connected inside the first material handling support plate. The end of each first guide rod is connected to the second material handling support plate. Several material handling suction cups are also provided on the surface of the second material handling support plate. A first cylinder is provided between the first material handling support plate and the second material handling support plate. The piston rod of the first cylinder can drive the height of the second material handling support plate to change.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding support frame, a second cylinder, a second guide rod, a material lifting plate, a material placement plate, and a material limiting rod. The feeding support frame is equipped with a second cylinder and a second guide rod inside. The piston rod of the second cylinder and the end of the second guide rod are connected to the material lifting plate. The surface of the feeding support frame is equipped with a material placement plate. The surface of the material placement plate is equipped with a plurality of material limiting rods. The central area of ​​the material placement plate is also equipped with a lifting plate avoidance groove for avoiding the material lifting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the flipping clamping mechanism includes a flipping support frame, a flipping support block, a clamping assembly, a first hinged support shaft, and a third cylinder. The top of the flipping support frame is provided with a plurality of first cylinder mounting slots. The top of each first cylinder mounting slot is rotatably connected to a flipping support block.

The piston rod end of the fourth cylinder is connected to the pivot mounting plate. At least one first limiting pivot is connected to the surface of the pivot mounting plate.

[0012] Preferably, the first and second limiting pivots are made of plastic. The length of the second limiting pivot is greater than that of the third limiting pivot. The plastic material ensures that the surface of the copper plate will not be damaged during clamping and that it is not easy to slip. The longer length of the second limiting pivot helps to ensure the stability of the support after clamping.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an automatic feeding and turning device for metal sheets includes a gantry support 1, and a first conveying mechanism 2 is provided on the top of the gantry support 1.

[0022] The first conveying mechanism 2 includes a first drive motor 21, roller support blocks 22, first rollers 23, second rollers 24, a drive belt 25, a conveyor belt 26, and a conveying support plate 20. The first drive motor 21 and several roller support blocks 22 are disposed on the top of the gantry bracket 1. Each roller support block 22 is rotatably connected to a first roller 23. At least one side of the first roller 23 is fixedly connected to a second roller 24. The second roller 24 is connected to the shaft end of the first drive motor 21 through the drive belt 25. The surface of the first roller 23 is connected to the conveyor belt 26, and the surface of the conveyor belt 26 is provided with a conveying support plate 20.

[0023] During rotation, the shaft of the first drive motor 21 drives the second roller 24 to rotate via the drive belt 25. Simultaneously, the second roller 24 drives the first roller 23 to rotate. The first rollers 23 on both sides of the gantry bracket 1 drive the conveyor belt 26 to reciprocate during rotation. During this reciprocating motion, the conveyor belt 26 simultaneously causes the conveyor support plate 20 to shift.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the conveying support plate 20 of the first conveying mechanism 2 is connected to a material-grabbing mechanism 3 for gripping materials. The material-grabbing mechanism 3 is capable of gripping copper profiles.

[0025] In this embodiment, the material handling mechanism 3 includes a first material handling support plate 31, a first guide rod 32, a second material handling support plate 33, a material handling suction cup 34, and a first cylinder 35. The top of the first material handling support plate 31 is connected to the bottom of the conveying support plate 20. A plurality of first guide rods 32 are slidably connected inside the first material handling support plate 31. The end of each first guide rod 32 is connected to the second material handling support plate 33. A plurality of material handling suction cups 34 are also provided on the surface of the second material handling support plate 33. A first cylinder 35 is provided between the first material handling support plate 31 and the second material handling support plate 33. The piston rod of the first cylinder 35 can drive the height of the second material handling support plate 33 to change.

[0026] The entire material handling mechanism 3 changes position as the conveying support plate 20 moves. When material needs to be handled, the piston rod of the first cylinder 35 extends, thereby driving the second material handling support plate 33 to move downward. During the movement of the second material handling support plate 33, the material handling suction cup 34 also moves downward. The material handling suction cup 34 uses the suction force of the suction cup to grasp the copper profile.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, a feeding mechanism 4 capable of continuously feeding materials is provided below the gantry support 1. The feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding support frame 41, a second cylinder 42, a second guide rod 43, a material lifting plate 44, a material placement plate 45, and material limiting rods 46. The second cylinder 42 and the second guide rod 43 are provided inside the feeding support frame 41. The piston rod of the second cylinder 42 and the end of the second guide rod 43 are connected to the material lifting plate 44. The surface of the feeding support frame 41 is provided with the material placement plate 45. The surface of the material placement plate 45 is provided with several material limiting rods 46. The central area of ​​the material placement plate 45 is also provided with a lifting plate avoidance groove for avoiding the material lifting plate 44.

[0028] The copper profile to be processed is placed on the surface of the material placement plate 45. After placement, several material limiting rods 46 are used to restrict the sidewalls of the copper profile to prevent it from shaking or shifting. As the material grabbing mechanism 3 continuously grabs material, when there is little material remaining, that is, when it has moved out of the maximum working range of the material grabbing mechanism 3, the piston rod of the second cylinder 42 drives the material lifting plate 44 to move upward. The material lifting plate 44 can continuously lift the remaining material until it is within the working area of ​​the material grabbing mechanism 3.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a flipping clamping mechanism 5 capable of clamping and flipping materials is also provided below the gantry support 1.

[0030] The flipping clamping mechanism 5 includes a flipping support frame 51, a flipping support block 53, a clamping assembly 54, a first hinged support shaft 55, and a third cylinder 56. The top of the flipping support frame 51 is provided with a plurality of first cylinder mounting slots 52. The top of each first cylinder mounting slot 52 is rotatably connected to a flipping support block 53. The surface of the flipping support block 53 is connected to a clamping assembly 54. The interior of the first cylinder mounting slot 52 is provided with a first hinged support shaft 55. The base of the third cylinder 56 is hinged to the surface of the first hinged support shaft 55, and the piston rod of the third cylinder 56 is hinged to the interior of the flipping support block 53.

[0031] When the first conveying mechanism 2 drives the material handling mechanism 3 to place the copper profile to be processed into the clamping assembly 54, the clamping assembly 54 can clamp the profile. At this time, for subsequent processes, the piston rod of the third cylinder 56 extends, thereby driving the tilting support block 53 to rotate inside the first cylinder mounting slot 52. At this time, the base of the third cylinder 56 rotates around the first hinged support shaft 55. During the rotation and angle change of the tilting support block 53, it will simultaneously drive the clamping assembly 54 to rotate, and the entire third cylinder 56 will also change its angle accordingly.

[0032] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 54 includes a clamping support frame 541, a first limiting pivot 542, a second limiting pivot 543, a fourth cylinder 545, and a pivot mounting plate 546. The surface of the flipping support block 53 is connected to the clamping support frame 541. The surface of the clamping support frame 541 is provided with a plurality of rotatable first limiting pivots 542 and second limiting pivots 543 in the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively. The surface of the clamping support frame 541 is also provided with a second cylinder mounting groove 544. The fourth cylinder 545 is provided inside the second cylinder mounting groove 544. The piston rod end of the fourth cylinder 545 is connected to the pivot mounting plate 546. At least one first limiting pivot 542 is connected to the surface of the pivot mounting plate 546.

[0033] The first limiting pivot 542 and the second limiting pivot 543 are made of plastic. The length of the second limiting pivot 543 is greater than that of the first limiting pivot 543. The plastic material ensures that the surface of the copper plate will not be damaged during clamping and that it is not easy to slip. The longer length of the second limiting pivot 543 helps to ensure the stability of the support after clamping.

[0034] Before clamping, the piston rod of the fourth cylinder 545 drives the rotating shaft mounting plate 546 to move, increasing the area of ​​the clamping region formed between the first limiting rotating shafts 542. The material handling mechanism 3 can place the material to be processed on the surface of the first limiting rotating shafts 542 and the second limiting rotating shafts 543. The first limiting rotating shafts 542 and the second limiting rotating shafts 543 are made of soft silicone to avoid scratching the surface of the copper material. The piston rod of the fourth cylinder 545 retracts, reducing the area of ​​the clamping region formed between the first limiting rotating shafts 542, thereby securing the copper profile before flipping it.

[0035] Working principle and usage of this utility model:

[0036] The copper profile to be processed is placed on the surface of the material placement plate 45. After placement, several material limiting rods 46 are used to restrict the sidewalls of the copper profile to prevent it from shaking or shifting. Then, the shaft of the first drive motor 21 rotates, which drives the second roller 24 to rotate via the drive belt 25. The second roller 24, in turn, drives the first roller 23 to rotate. The first rollers 23 on both sides of the gantry bracket 1, in turn, drive the conveyor belt 26 to reciprocate. During the reciprocating motion of the conveyor belt 26, the conveyor support plate 20 is simultaneously displaced.

[0037] When the conveying support plate 20 moves above the material placement plate 45, the piston rod of the first cylinder 35 extends, thereby driving the second picking support plate 33 to move downward. During the movement of the second picking support plate 33, the picking suction cup 34 also moves downward. The picking suction cup 34 uses the suction force of the suction cup to grab the copper profile.

[0038] After gripping, the material to be processed is placed on the surface of the first limiting shaft 542 and the second limiting shaft 543. The first limiting shaft 542 and the second limiting shaft 543 are made of soft silicone to avoid scratching the copper surface. The piston rod of the fourth cylinder 545 retracts, reducing the area of ​​the clamping region formed between the first limiting shafts 542, thereby securing the copper profile.

[0039] The piston rod of the third cylinder 56 extends, thereby driving the tilting support block 53 to rotate inside the first cylinder mounting slot 52. At the same time, the base of the third cylinder 56 rotates around the first hinged support shaft 55. As the tilting support block 53 rotates and changes its angle, it simultaneously drives the clamping assembly 54 to change its position.

Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
