Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding devices, specifically relating to a feeding device for processing power distribution cabinet enclosures. Background Technology

[0002] The feeding device for power distribution cabinet enclosure processing is a mechanical device used for automated handling and positioning of sheet metal (such as steel plates), designed to improve production efficiency, reduce manual operation, and ensure precise positioning of the sheet metal during processing.

[0003] Application No. 202322795245.5 discloses a steel plate loading device that "uses suction cups to pick up and transport steel plates, eliminating the need for manual handling and improving safety. This invention allows for adjustment of the telescopic rod according to the size of the plate, making it suitable for loading steel plates of different specifications and improving its versatility." However, during frequent plate-picking operations, the suction end of the suction cup is in continuous contact with the plate surface, making it extremely easy for various dust, debris, and other tiny particles to adhere to it. If these impurities are not cleaned in time, they will gradually accumulate and solidify at the suction end, reducing the suction capacity of the suction cup and affecting its suction effect and stability. Furthermore, long-term accumulation of impurities may wear down the suction cup material, further shortening its lifespan. Therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance of the suction cup is crucial to ensuring its efficient and reliable operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding device for processing power distribution cabinet enclosures, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when the suction cup frequently picks up the board material, it is easy for impurities such as dust and debris to adhere to it. If it is not cleaned in time, it will reduce the adsorption capacity, affect the suction effect and stability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for processing power distribution cabinet enclosures, comprising: a lifting plate and multiple suction cups, each suction cup being connected to the lifting plate by an electric telescopic rod, each suction cup having a bearing plate on one side, each bearing plate being configured with an adjustment component between it and the lifting plate, a first rotary motor being installed on the outer wall of the bearing plate, a connecting plate being installed at the output end of the first rotary motor, a sliding component being provided between the connecting plate and the bearing plate, a cleaning plate being installed on the outer wall of the connecting plate, a cleaning groove being formed on the cleaning plate, bristles being installed on the inner wall of the cleaning groove, and a dust removal component being installed inside the cleaning plate.

[0006] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a mounting plate, a second rotary motor, and an electric push rod. The mounting plate is fixed to the side wall of the support plate, the second rotary motor is mounted on the outer wall of the lifting plate, and the electric push rod is connected to the output end of the second rotary motor, and the output end of the second rotary motor is connected to the side wall of the mounting plate.

[0007] The sliding assembly includes a sliding groove, a pulley, and a support rod. The sliding groove is annularly formed on the outer wall of the bearing plate, the support rod is installed on the outer wall of the connecting plate, and the pulley is fixed to the bottom end of the support rod. The sliding groove and the pulley are compatible with each other.

[0008] The dust removal assembly includes a storage cylinder, an air extractor, and a collection plate. The storage cylinder is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank, the air extractor is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning plate, an air guide pipe is connected between the air extractor and the storage cylinder, a septum is installed inside the storage cylinder, and the collection plate is installed around the inner wall of the storage cylinder.

[0009] The cleaning tank is in the shape of an arc segment, and its structural dimensions and geometric features of shape and outline match the suction end of the suction cup.

[0010] Through the above technical solution:

[0011] In operation, the lifting plate serves as the core base of the entire feeding device, firmly supporting all key components and providing a solid guarantee for the stability and reliability of the entire system. Multiple suction cups are used to adsorb different types of boxes and various sheet materials. Each suction cup is connected to the lifting plate via an electric telescopic rod. The electric telescopic rod can perform precise extension and retraction movements, thereby accurately controlling the position of the suction cup, allowing it to flexibly adapt to and pick up materials of different sizes and shapes. When the suction cup comes into contact with the sheet material or other object surface, its internal air extraction device (such as a vacuum pump or pneumatic motor) is activated to begin extracting the gas inside the suction cup. As the gas inside the suction cup gradually decreases, a negative pressure environment is formed inside the suction cup, at which point its internal air pressure is lower than the external atmospheric pressure. It is precisely because of this negative pressure state that the suction cup can tightly adhere to the sheet material surface, which significantly improves the adaptability and overall working efficiency of the device, ensuring stable operation under various working conditions.

[0012] After the suction cups pick up the sheet material, the lifting equipment acts on the lifting plate. The lifting equipment provides the necessary lifting force, raising the suction cups and the sheet material they hold to a predetermined height via the lifting plate. Subsequently, the lifting equipment controls the movement of the lifting plate, smoothly transporting the sheet material to the designated processing position. Throughout the lifting and handling process, the lifting plate and suction cups work together to ensure that the sheet material maintains a stable adsorption state during movement, preventing deviation or detachment, thus achieving safe and efficient material handling.

[0013] Once the suction cup has finished its work, the electric telescopic rod initiates a retraction process, moving the suction cup to its maximum travel position to prepare for the subsequent cleaning process.

[0014] Subsequently, the first rotary motor and electric push rod are activated. The electric push rod pushes the support plate to its maximum position, while simultaneously, the first rotary motor rotates 180 degrees, positioning the support plate precisely below the suction cup, laying the foundation for the cleaning process. At this point, the cleaning tank is also positioned directly below the suction cup's suction end, ensuring efficient cleaning of the suction cup's suction end. Next, the electric push rod is activated again, causing the support plate to move slightly upwards, allowing a portion of the suction cup to enter the cleaning tank, ready for cleaning.

[0015] Then, the second rotary motor starts, driving the cleaning plate to move in a circular motion outside the suction cup via the connecting plate. The pulley slides within the groove, ensuring the smooth and stable circular motion of the cleaning plate and guaranteeing a thorough and complete cleaning process.

[0016] As the cleaning plate moves in a circular motion, the bristles inside the cleaning tank begin to act on the suction cup surface. First, the bristles sweep away dust and debris from the suction cup surface. Next, the vacuum pump is activated, drawing gas from the storage cylinder through the air duct, creating a negative pressure in the storage cylinder, which then sucks the swept-away dust and debris into the storage cylinder, completing the collection process.

[0017] The septum is crucial in the cleaning process, effectively blocking dust and debris from entering the vacuum pump and protecting its normal operation. The inner wall of the collection plate is coated with a special adhesive coating composed of silane-based binders, polyurethane resin, acrylate polymers, and other components, with added nanoparticles to enhance surface roughness and adhesion. Plasticizers and leveling agents are also included to improve coating flexibility and uniformity, while a curing agent promotes the formation of a strong adhesive layer. This coating design effectively captures and retains dust and debris, ensuring a thorough and efficient cleaning process.

[0018] After cleaning, the first rotary motor and electric push rod are activated, causing the support plate to rotate 180 degrees and retract precisely back to its initial set position. This operation ensures that the device can quickly prepare for the next cleaning job, and the entire process does not interfere with or affect the normal operation of the suction cup, maintaining the continuous and efficient operation of the equipment.

[0019] In summary, through the aforementioned precision mechanical structure and intelligent control, this feeding device achieves a self-cleaning function for the suction cups, ensuring that the suction cup surface is clean each time material is picked up, guaranteeing stable adsorption force and high operating efficiency. This design not only improves production efficiency but also extends the equipment's service life, ensuring stable and reliable operation under various working conditions.

[0020] Preferably, a lifting frame is installed on the outer wall of the lifting plate, and lifting lugs are installed on the outer wall of the lifting frame.

[0021] Specifically, a lifting frame is installed on the outer wall of the lifting plate, and the outer wall of the lifting frame is further provided with lifting lugs. This structural design significantly enhances the stability and load-bearing capacity of the lifting device by adding extra support and connection points. With these additional structural features, the lifting plate can securely connect to and suspend other equipment or components, thereby improving operational flexibility and adaptability. At the same time, this design optimizes space utilization and ensures the safety of the lifting process.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] (1) This utility model achieves the cleaning function of the suction cup by setting up components such as a first rotary motor, a cleaning plate, brush bristles, and an air extractor. In actual use, the second rotary motor drives the cleaning plate to move in a circular motion around the suction cup, and the brush bristles sweep off the dust and debris on the surface of the suction cup. At the same time, the air extractor draws gas from the storage cylinder through the air guide pipe, creating a negative pressure state inside the storage cylinder, thereby sucking the swept-off dust and debris into the storage cylinder, completing the cleaning operation of the suction cup. In this way, the stability of the suction cup's adsorption force can be effectively guaranteed, helping the equipment to operate efficiently.

[0024] (2) This utility model achieves the collection of dust and debris by setting up components such as a storage cylinder, a diaphragm, and a collecting plate. When dust and debris are swept off and sucked into the storage cylinder, the diaphragm acts as a barrier, effectively preventing dust and debris from entering the vacuum pump. The inner wall of the collecting plate is coated with a special adhesive coating, which can efficiently capture and retain dust and debris, thereby completing the collection of debris and providing convenience for subsequent cleaning.

[0034] The sliding assembly includes a slide groove 16, a pulley 17, and a support rod 18. The slide groove 16 is annularly formed on the outer wall of the bearing plate 4. The support rod 18 is installed on the outer wall of the connecting plate 7. The pulley 17 is fixed to the bottom end of the support rod 18, and the slide groove 16 and the pulley 17 are compatible.

[0035] The dust removal assembly includes a storage cylinder 11, an air extractor 13, and a collection plate 15.

[0036] The cleaning tank 9 is in the shape of an arc segment, and its structural dimensions and geometric features of the shape are matched with the suction end of the suction cup 2.

[0037] Through the above technical solution:

[0038] In operation, the lifting plate 1 serves as the core base of the entire feeding device, firmly supporting all key components and providing a solid guarantee for the stability and reliability of the entire system. Multiple suction cups 2 are used to adsorb different types of boxes and various sheet materials. Each suction cup 2 is connected to the lifting plate 1 via an electric telescopic rod 3. The electric telescopic rod 3 can perform precise telescopic movements, thereby accurately controlling the position of the suction cup 2, allowing it to flexibly adapt to and pick up materials of different sizes and shapes. When the suction cup 2 comes into contact with the sheet material or other object surface, its internal air extraction device (such as a vacuum pump or pneumatic motor) is activated to begin extracting the gas inside the suction cup 2. As the gas inside the suction cup 2 gradually decreases, a negative pressure environment is formed inside the suction cup 2, at which point its internal air pressure is lower than the external atmospheric pressure. It is precisely because of this negative pressure state that the suction cup 2 can tightly adhere to the sheet material surface, which significantly improves the adaptability and overall working efficiency of the device, ensuring stable operation under various working conditions.

[0039] After the suction cup 2 adsorbs the sheet material, the lifting equipment acts on the lifting plate 1. The lifting equipment provides the necessary lifting force, raising the suction cup 2 and the adsorbed sheet material to a predetermined height via the lifting plate 1. Subsequently, the lifting equipment controls the movement of the lifting plate 1, smoothly transporting the sheet material to the designated processing position. Throughout the lifting and handling process, the lifting plate 1 and the suction cup 2 work together to ensure that the sheet material maintains a stable adsorption state during movement, preventing deviation or detachment, thus achieving safe and efficient material handling.

[0040] Once the suction cup 2 has finished its work, the electric telescopic rod 3 initiates its retraction program, moving the suction cup 2 to its maximum travel position to prepare for the subsequent cleaning process.

[0041] Subsequently, the first rotary motor 6 and the electric push rod 20 are activated. The electric push rod 20 pushes the support plate 4 to its maximum position, while the first rotary motor 6 rotates 180 degrees, positioning the support plate 4 precisely below the suction cup 2, laying the foundation for the cleaning process. At this time, the cleaning tank 9 also moves precisely below the suction end of the suction cup 2, ensuring efficient cleaning of the suction end of the suction cup 2 directly. Next, the electric push rod 20 is activated again, causing the support plate 4 to move slightly upward, allowing a portion of the suction cup 2 to enter the cleaning tank 9, ready for cleaning.

[0042] Then, the second rotary motor 19 starts, driving the cleaning plate 8 to make a circular motion outside the suction cup 2 via the connecting plate 7. The pulley 17 slides in the groove 16, ensuring that the circular motion of the cleaning plate 8 is smooth and stable, and ensuring that the cleaning process is comprehensive and thorough.

[0043] As the cleaning plate 8 moves in a circular motion, the bristles 10 in the cleaning tank 9 begin to act on the surface of the suction cup 2. First, the bristles 10 sweep away the dust and debris on the surface of the suction cup 2. Next, the vacuum pump 13 is activated, and the vacuum pump 13 draws gas from the storage cylinder 11 through the air guide pipe 12, creating a negative pressure in the storage cylinder 11, which then sucks the swept-away dust and debris into the storage cylinder 11, completing the collection.

[0044] The septum 14 is crucial in the cleaning process, effectively blocking dust and debris from entering the vacuum pump 13 and protecting its normal operation. The inner wall of the collection plate 15 is coated with a special adhesive coating composed of silane-based adhesives, polyurethane resin, acrylate polymers, and other components, with added nanoparticles to enhance surface roughness and adhesion. Plasticizers and leveling agents are also added to improve coating flexibility and uniformity, while a curing agent promotes the formation of a strong adhesive layer. This coating design effectively captures and retains dust and debris, ensuring a thorough and efficient cleaning process.

[0045] After cleaning is completed, the first rotary motor 6 and the electric push rod 20 are started, causing the support plate 4 to rotate 180 degrees and retract precisely back to its initial set position. This operation ensures that the device can quickly prepare for the next cleaning job, and the entire process does not interfere with or affect the normal operation of the suction cup 2, maintaining the continuous and efficient operation of the equipment.

[0046] In summary, through the aforementioned precision mechanical structure and intelligent control, the feeding device achieves the self-cleaning function of the suction cup 2, ensuring that the surface of the suction cup 2 is clean each time material is picked up, thus guaranteeing stable adsorption force and high operating efficiency. This design not only improves production efficiency but also extends the service life of the equipment, ensuring stable and reliable operation under various working conditions.

[0047] For further details, please refer to Figures 1-2 As shown, a lifting frame 21 is installed on the outer wall of the lifting plate 1, and a lifting lug 22 is installed on the outer wall of the lifting frame 21.
