Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal processing technology, and in particular to a modular adaptive sheet metal support structure and transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of sheet metal processing, sheet metal parts typically require multiple processes to complete their final processing, such as cutting, bending, stamping, welding, and surface treatment. After completing one process, the sheet metal parts need to be transferred to the next workstation for further processing. This transportation is often accomplished by automated equipment, where the parts are delivered to a designated location and picked up by robotic arms. However, after processing, the surface shape of sheet metal parts is often uneven. To ensure their stability during movement and transportation, traditional methods usually require custom-made support molds based on the shape of the sheet metal parts to provide precise support and ensure safe transportation.

[0003] However, with the increase in product variety, the shape and size of each sheet metal part may differ, requiring the separate design and manufacture of support molds for each type. This not only leads to high customization costs but also increases the difficulty of mold storage and management. Furthermore, the process of changing support molds when replacing different sheet metal parts is cumbersome and time-consuming, severely impacting production efficiency. This is especially true in flexible production models with multiple varieties and small batches, where the limitations of traditional customized molds become even more apparent, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern manufacturing for efficient, flexible, and low-cost production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a modular adaptive sheet metal support structure and transfer device, which aims to solve the problem of inconvenient support of existing equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a modular adaptive sheet metal support structure, comprising:

[0006] A base, on which a mounting plate is mounted;

[0007] A support plate has a mounting tab protruding on the side of the support plate near the mounting plate. The mounting plate has an insertion interface for inserting the mounting tab. The support plate is vertically inserted into the mounting plate through the mounting tab.

[0008] The support plate has a support surface on the side away from the mounting plate. The shape of the support surface is adapted to the shape of the sheet metal part to support the sheet metal part.

[0009] In one embodiment, the support plate includes a first support piece and a second support piece, both of which are provided with the mounting insert, and the first support piece and the second support piece are vertically inserted into the mounting plate through the mounting insert;

[0011] In one embodiment, the first support piece and / or the second support piece are provided with insertion notches, and the first support piece and the second support piece are interlocked with each other through the insertion notches.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first support piece and the second support piece are recessed on the side away from the mounting plate to form the support surface.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of clamping members, which are located around the sheet metal part and abut against the side of the sheet metal part.

[0014] In one embodiment, the clamping member includes a mounting block and a clamping block, the mounting block and the clamping block are fixedly connected, and the clamping block abuts against the sheet metal part;

[0015] The mounting block has a waist-shaped hole, and the mounting plate has a plurality of through holes for mounting the mounting block.

[0016] In one embodiment, the clamping block has an abutment surface on the side near the sheet metal part for abutting the sheet metal part. The abutment surface is smoothly connected to a guide surface on the side away from the mounting plate. The guide surface is arc-shaped and extends curvedly towards the side away from the sheet metal part.

[0017] In one embodiment, the base has a plurality of mounting holes spaced apart on both sides, and the mounting plate has corresponding through holes on both sides for mounting the mounting plate.

[0018] In one embodiment, there are multiple mounting plates and multiple support plates, with the mounting plates spaced apart from each other on the base, and each mounting plate is provided with a support plate.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model adopts the pluggable design of the support plate, which allows for quick replacement or adjustment of the support plate according to the shape of the sheet metal part, so that the support surface can be adapted to the sheet metal part. The support plate is plugged into the mounting plate through the mounting tab, making the replacement of the support plate more convenient, reducing the replacement time, improving the operating efficiency of the production line.

[0034] In the field of sheet metal processing, sheet metal parts 3 typically require multiple processes to complete their final processing, such as cutting, bending, stamping, welding, and surface treatment. After completing one process, the sheet metal part 3 needs to be transferred to the next workstation for further processing. This transportation is often accomplished by automated equipment, where it is delivered to a designated location and picked up by a robotic arm. However, after processing, the surface shape of the sheet metal part 3 is often uneven. To ensure its stability during movement and transportation, traditional methods usually require custom-made support molds based on the shape of the sheet metal part 3 to provide precise support and ensure safe transportation.

[0035] However, with the increase in product variety, since the shape and size of each sheet metal part 3 may differ, a support mold needs to be designed and manufactured separately for each sheet metal part 3. This not only leads to high customization costs but also increases the difficulty of mold storage and management. In addition, the process of changing support molds when replacing different sheet metal parts 3 is cumbersome and time-consuming, which seriously affects production efficiency. Especially in the flexible production mode of multi-variety, small-batch production, the limitations of traditional customized molds are more prominent, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern manufacturing industry for efficient, flexible and low-cost production.

[0036] This utility model proposes a modular adaptive sheet metal support structure 100.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, the modular adaptive sheet metal support structure 100 includes:

[0038] Base 1, wherein the base 1 is supported by a mounting plate 11;

[0039] The support plate 2 has a mounting insert 23 protruding on the side near the mounting plate 11. The mounting plate 11 has an insertion interface 12 for inserting the mounting insert 23. The support plate 2 is vertically inserted into the mounting plate 11 through the mounting insert 23.

[0040] The support plate 2 has a support surface 25 on the side away from the mounting plate 11. The shape of the support surface 25 is adapted to the shape of the sheet metal part 3 to support the sheet metal part 3.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that when adapting the sheet metal part 3, it is only necessary to cut the support plate 2 along the cross-sectional shape of the sheet metal part 3 to form the support surface 25 that adapts to the sheet metal part 3.

[0042] Optionally, there are multiple mounting plates 11. By using multiple mounting plates 11, the contact area between the mounting plate 11 and the sheet metal part 3 is increased, thereby improving stability.

[0043] It is understandable that the support plate 2 occupies little space, making it easy to clamp the sheet metal part 3 using automated equipment.

[0044] The technical solution of this utility model adopts the pluggable design of the support plate 2, which allows the support plate 2 to be quickly replaced or adjusted according to the shape of the sheet metal part 3, so that the support surface 25 can be adapted to the sheet metal part 3. The support plate 2 is plugged into the mounting plate 11 through the mounting insert 23, which makes the replacement of the support plate 2 more convenient, reduces the replacement time, and improves the operating efficiency of the production line. In addition, the support plate 2 has a simple structure, requires less material, and significantly reduces manufacturing and processing costs. During transportation and storage, the support plates 2 can be stacked on top of each other to reduce space occupation and facilitate transportation and storage.

[0045] In some embodiments, after the support plate 2 is inserted into the mounting plate 11, the support plate 2 can be welded to the mounting plate 11 to ensure the relative fixation of the support plate 2 and the mounting plate 11 and improve the stability of equipment operation.

[0046] Optionally, welding notches are provided on both sides of the insertion interface 12 to reserve space for welding, so as to facilitate welding and fixing of the support plate 2 and the mounting plate 11.

[0047] Optionally, the support plate 2 includes a first support piece 21 and a second support piece 22. Both the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 are provided with the mounting insert 23. The first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 are vertically inserted into the mounting plate 11 through the mounting insert 23.

[0048] The first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 are arranged alternately.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the staggered arrangement of the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 can form a more uniform distribution of support force, avoiding the sheet metal part 3 from shaking or shifting due to uneven force during transportation, and significantly improving the stability and safety of transportation.

[0050] Furthermore, the staggered arrangement of the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 allows the support surface 25 to better adapt to the complex shape of the sheet metal part 3, especially for sheet metal parts 3 with uneven surfaces or special structures, providing more precise and comprehensive support.

[0051] Secondly, the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 are staggered to further prevent the support plate 2 from tilting relative to the mounting plate 11, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the support plate 2.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 are perpendicular to each other, forming a cross-shaped support structure. This significantly improves the overall rigidity of the support plate 2, effectively resisting forces from different directions and preventing the support plate 2 from deforming or tilting when bearing the sheet metal part 3, thus ensuring stability during transportation.

[0053] It should be noted that the number of the first support piece 21 can be one or more, and the number of the second support piece 22 can also be one or more. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0054] Optionally, the first support piece 21 and / or the second support piece 22 are provided with insertion notches 24, and the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 are interlocked through the insertion notches 24.

[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it should be noted that the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 can be tightly interlocked through the insertion notch 24 to form a stable cross support structure, which improves the overall rigidity and stability of the support plate 2, effectively resists forces from different directions, and prevents the support plate 2 from deforming or tilting when bearing the sheet metal part 3.

[0056] It is understood that the insertion notch 24 enables the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 to be quickly installed and adjusted, reducing the time required for replacement and adjustment.

[0057] Optionally, the first support piece 21 is provided with the insertion notch 24, or the second support piece 22 is provided with the insertion notch 24, or both the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 are provided with the insertion notch 24. This embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0058] It should be noted that the size of the insertion notch corresponds to the thickness of the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22.

[0059] Optionally, the first support piece 21 and the second support piece 22 are recessed on the side away from the mounting plate 11 to form the support surface 25.

[0060] It is understandable that the concave shape of the support surface 25 makes the two sides of the support surface 25 higher than the sheet metal part 3, which can effectively prevent the sheet metal part 3 from moving laterally or slipping during transportation, ensuring that the sheet metal part 3 is always in a stable position and improving the safety of transportation.

[0061] Furthermore, by having both sides higher than the sheet metal part 3, the need for additional fixing devices or limiting structures is reduced, manufacturing and maintenance costs are lowered, and operators or automated equipment can place the sheet metal part 3 on the support plate 2 more quickly and accurately.

[0062] Optionally, the mounting plate 11 is provided with a plurality of clamping members 4, which are located around the sheet metal part 3 and abut against the side of the sheet metal part 3.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, it should be noted that the clamping member 4 abuts against the side of the sheet metal part 3, which can fix the sheet metal part 3 from multiple directions, preventing the sheet metal part 3 from moving laterally or rotating during transportation, ensuring that the sheet metal part 3 is always in a stable position, improving transportation safety, and reducing the possibility of shaking or displacement caused by vibration, inertia or external force.

[0064] Optionally, the clamping member 4 includes a mounting block 41 and a clamping block 42, the mounting block 41 and the clamping block 42 are fixedly connected, and the clamping block 42 abuts against the sheet metal part 3;

[0065] The mounting block 41 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 45, and the mounting plate 11 is provided with a plurality of through holes for mounting the mounting block 41.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, it should be noted that the waist-shaped hole 45 on the mounting block 41 allows the position of the clamping member 4 to be flexibly adjusted according to the shape and size of the sheet metal part 3, ensuring that the clamping block 42 can accurately abut against the side of the sheet metal part 3 and adapt to sheet metal parts 3 of different specifications.

[0067] It is understandable that by passing bolts through the waist-shaped hole 45 and the through hole of the mounting plate 11, and then fixing them with nuts, the mounting block 41 and the mounting plate 11 can be relatively fixed, while the waist-shaped hole 45 can facilitate the adjustment of the position of the mounting block 41, so as to drive the clamping block 42 to move to the desired position.

[0068] Furthermore, the modular design of the clamping component 4 makes it easy to install, adjust and replace. When the clamping component 4 is worn or damaged, it can be quickly replaced without replacing the entire modular adaptive sheet metal support structure 100, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0069] Optionally, the clamping block 42 has an abutment surface 43 on the side near the sheet metal part 3 for abutting the sheet metal part 3. The abutment surface 43 is smoothly connected to a guide surface 44 on the side away from the mounting plate 11. The guide surface 44 is arc-shaped and extends curved away from the sheet metal part 3.

[0070] like Figure 5 and Figure 3 As shown, it should be noted that the arc design of the guide surface 44 allows the sheet metal part 3 to be smoothly guided when placed on the support plate 2, enabling operators or automated equipment to place the sheet metal part 3 on the support surface 25 more quickly and accurately, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the production line.

[0071] Furthermore, the arc-shaped guide surface 44 can prevent the sheet metal part 3 from colliding or rubbing against the clamping block 42 during installation, thus protecting the surface quality of the sheet metal part 3, and is especially suitable for the sheet metal part 3 that has undergone surface treatment.

[0072] Optionally, the base 1 has a plurality of mounting holes 13 spaced apart on both sides, and the mounting plate 11 has corresponding through holes on both sides for mounting the mounting plate 11.

[0073] It is understood that the multiple mounting holes 13 on both sides of the base 1 allow the position of the mounting plate 11 to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, ensuring that the mounting plate 11 can be accurately installed on the base 1 to adapt to the sheet metal parts 3 of different specifications and processing requirements.

[0074] Furthermore, it can adapt to mounting plates 11 of different sizes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the base 1. When the mounting plate 11 is worn or damaged, it can be quickly replaced without replacing the entire modular adaptive sheet metal support structure 100, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0075] Secondly, the support plate 2 can be installed on the base 1 of the mounting plate 11 first, and after installation, the mounting plate 11 can be installed into the base 1, which facilitates installation and adjustment.

[0076] Optionally, there are multiple mounting plates 11 and multiple support plates 2, with multiple mounting plates 11 spaced apart from the base 1, and each of the multiple mounting plates 11 is provided with a support plate 2;

[0077] In this case, the support surfaces 25 of the multiple support plates 2 are located at the same horizontal height.

[0078] It should be noted that the design of multiple support plates 2 at the same horizontal height enables automated equipment to pick up and place the sheet metal parts 3 more quickly and accurately, simplifying the operation process, reducing positioning errors and operational difficulties caused by inconsistent heights, and improving the efficiency of automated production.

[0079] Furthermore, the multiple support plates 2 can simultaneously support multiple sheet metal parts 3, significantly improving transportation efficiency and reducing the time cost of multiple transportations. This is particularly suitable for mass production scenarios. The design of multiple sheet metal parts 3 at the same horizontal height allows automated equipment (such as robotic arms) to pick up multiple sheet metal parts 3 simultaneously or sequentially.

[0080] It is understood that the number of mounting plates 11 can be increased as needed.

[0081] This utility model also proposes a transfer device, which includes a modular adaptive sheet metal support structure 100. The specific structure of the modular adaptive sheet metal support structure 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this transfer device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0082] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
