The existing transfer and placement mainly uses a high-volume fan to suck up the sheets and a belt conveyor to complete the feeding. Although this feeding method can complete the feeding action, the high power of the fan results in high power consumption and limited feeding efficiency, with a feeding rate of about 40 sheets per minute. Therefore, how to reduce the feeding cost and improve the feeding efficiency is the direction that needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the current plate conveying system by proposing a high-speed automatic lifting plate feeder that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to process, and can reduce plate feeding costs and improve plate feeding efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0017] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0018] Example 1, such as Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment aims to reduce the operating cost of the board conveying equipment and increase the conveying speed. To achieve the above objectives, this embodiment provides an automatic lifting board feeding high-speed board conveyor, including a frame 1 and a lifting platform 2 set inside the frame 1 for placing the board. In this embodiment, the frame 1 is a square frame, that is, it includes four columns and crossbeams and longitudinal beams set between adjacent columns. The lifting platform 2 can be a scissor lift platform 2, or it can be a structure in which a lead screw is set on the frame 1 and a lead screw nut is set on the platform plate, and the platform plate is raised and lowered by a motor. In this embodiment, a scissor lift platform 2 is used.

[0019] The sheet metal is placed on the lifting platform 2 using a side-feed method. It can be directly transported to the platform by a conveyor belt, or it can be placed on the lifting platform 2 by a forklift after stacking.

[0020] In order to complete the conveying of the board on the lifting platform 2, in this embodiment, a negative pressure suction cup 31 is provided above the lifting platform 2. The negative pressure suction cup 31 is raised and lowered on the frame 1. The negative pressure suction cup 31 is set at one end close to the lifting platform 2. Specifically, two longitudinal beams are also provided at the top of the frame 1. Connecting columns are provided on the longitudinal beams. The connecting columns are set vertically and a lifting cylinder 3 is fixed on the connecting columns. The power end of the lifting cylinder 3 is also set downward. The power end of the lifting cylinder 3 is connected to the negative pressure suction cup 31. Of course, the negative pressure suction cup 31 needs to be connected to a vacuum pump to realize the operation of the negative pressure suction cup 31. The main reason for setting the negative pressure suction cup 31 close to the lifting platform 2 is that the main function of the negative pressure suction cup 31 is not to convey the board, but to lift one end of the board to facilitate board delivery.

[0021] To complete the plate feeding, in this embodiment, a feeding mechanism 4 is provided above the lifting platform 2. The feeding mechanism 4 includes an active conveying wheel 41 and a passive conveying wheel 42 spaced apart along the plate conveying direction. The active conveying wheel 41 and the passive conveying wheel 42 are connected by a connecting belt 43. A drive motor 45 is also provided on the frame 1. The drive motor 45 is connected to the active conveying wheel 41. Thus, under the action of the drive motor 45, the active conveying wheel 41 rotates, and through the setting of the connecting belt 43, it drives the passive conveying wheel 42 to rotate. The connecting belt 43 can be a chain, belt, or synchronous belt. In this embodiment, it is a chain.

[0022] A lever 44 is provided on the connecting belt 43. The levers 44 are spaced apart on the connecting belt 43. Since the conveying length of the board is long, two levers 44 are provided on the chain. In this way, when the negative pressure suction cup 31 lifts one end of the board, the lever 44 also rotates to the corresponding position, thereby driving the board to move and realizing the board feeding.

[0023] To ensure the stability of the board during lifting, in this embodiment, the negative pressure suction cups 31 are arranged on both sides near the lifting platform 2. Simultaneously, the feeding mechanism 4 is located inside the negative pressure suction cups 31. That is, two feeding mechanisms 4 are also provided to ensure stable feeding and prevent deviation.

[0024] To further improve feeding stability, in this embodiment, the lever 44 is L-shaped. This allows it to hook onto the sheet material, preventing it from shifting and improving feeding stability.

[0025] Through testing, the system provided in this embodiment can feed 60 sheets per minute, increasing the conveying efficiency by 50%. Furthermore, the power equipment required in this embodiment is inexpensive and meets the requirements.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
