Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of automated stamping line sheet material conveying technology, specifically to an automated stamping line sheet material rapid lifting tooling. Background Technology
[0002] Existing automated stamping lines typically rely on various equipment and technologies for sheet material conveying. Generally, a feeding device accurately picks up the sheet material from the stack and places it onto the conveyor belt. Traditionally, the feeding is done manually, with the sheet material being hoisted onto a frame on one side of the stamping press by a crane. Since the sheet material is stacked neatly together, manual tools are needed to separate the upper and lower sheet materials during manual feeding, as the die can only press one sheet material at a time.
[0003] However, in construction machinery, the materials used are generally thick plates and high-strength plates. Since the materials are loaded manually, they need to be separated into individual sheets with manual tools before pressing. This not only takes a long time and increases labor intensity, but also reduces production efficiency.
[0004] In addition, when manually loading materials, pulling the previous material plate will cause friction with the next material plate, resulting in damage and scratches on the material. This poses certain safety hazards in manual operations.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automated stamping line material quick-lifting tooling to solve the above problems.
[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated stamping line material quick lifting tooling, which reduces costs and speeds up production by allowing automated robots to replace manual labor, and quickly improves product stability. It also avoids the safety hazards that exist when manually loading materials, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is:
[0009] An automated stamping line sheet material quick lifting fixture includes a fixture frame, the top surface of which is equipped with a placement rack for placing sheet material;
[0010] A magnetic suction assembly is installed on the top surface of the tooling frame. The magnetic suction assembly includes a sliding mechanism, a bonding mechanism, and a magnetic suction mechanism. The sliding mechanism is installed on the top surface of the tooling frame and is located around the perimeter of the placement frame. The bottom end of the bonding mechanism is rotatably mounted on the sliding mechanism. The side wall of the magnetic suction mechanism is fixedly mounted on the end of the bonding mechanism.
[0011] The magnetic attraction mechanism includes a magnetic plate, a magnet, and an adjustment component. The magnetic plate has a cavity inside, and the magnet is slidably installed in the cavity. The adjustment component is threaded onto the side wall of the magnetic plate and is rotatably installed with the side wall of the magnet.
[0012] Preferably, the adjusting component includes a lead screw and a crank handle. The side wall of the lead screw is threadedly connected to the magnetic plate. One end of the lead screw is fixedly installed to the crank handle, and the other end of the lead screw is rotatably installed to the side wall of the magnet.
[0013] Preferably, a guide pin is fixedly installed on the side wall of the magnetic plate, and a sliding hole is opened on the side wall of the magnet, and the side wall of the guide pin is slidably installed in the sliding hole.
[0014] Preferably, the bonding mechanism includes a primary support column rotating arm and a secondary universal rotating arm. A mounting base is fixedly installed on the top side wall of the magnetic suction plate. The mounting base is installed on the end of the secondary universal rotating arm, and the end of the primary support column rotating arm is rotatably mounted to the secondary universal rotating arm.
[0015] Preferably, the sliding mechanism includes a guide rail, a slide block, and a mounting plate. The guide rail is installed on the top surface of the tooling frame around the perimeter. The slide block is slidably installed on the guide rail. The mounting plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the slide block. The bottom of the primary support column rotating arm is fixedly installed on the mounting plate.
[0016] Preferably, the tooling frame includes a worktable and wheels. Support legs are installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the worktable, and wheels are rotatably installed on the top of the support legs. A drive rod is fixedly installed between two wheels. The drive rod is keyed to the output shaft of the gearbox, and the input shaft of the gearbox is keyed to the drive motor. The gearbox is fixedly installed on the bottom of the worktable by a mounting bracket.
[0017] Preferably, the display rack includes horizontal plates and vertical plates, and three horizontal plates and three vertical plates are provided. The three horizontal plates are installed equidistantly on the top surface of the workbench, and the three vertical plates are installed equidistantly on the top surface of the three horizontal plates.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0019] 1. This technical solution utilizes the magnetic attraction mechanism of the magnetic attraction component. By rotating the crank to adjust the screw, the magnet slides within the cavity of the magnetic plate, enhancing the magnetic field force and enabling rapid separation of stacked sheets. The sliding mechanism adjusts the position of the magnetic attraction component according to the size of the sheets, while the fitting mechanism ensures the magnetic plate tightly adheres to the sidewalls of the sheets, achieving efficient adsorption. Simultaneously, the tooling frame, driven by a motor and gearbox, can autonomously move to the robot's workstation, eliminating the need for manual handling. The entire process is highly automated, replacing a significant amount of manual operation, reducing the time spent on manual loading, lowering worker workload, and significantly improving production efficiency.
[0020] 2. This solution uses magnetic attraction to separate sheet metal, avoiding direct friction between sheets, effectively protecting the surface integrity of the sheets and improving product quality. Furthermore, manual loading operations pose safety risks, such as sheet metal slippage or improper tool operation potentially leading to worker injury. This fixture, through automated operation, reduces direct contact between workers and the sheets, lowering the probability of accidents and ensuring worker safety.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0039] Please see Figure 1-6 The embodiments provided by this utility model are as follows:
[0040] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an automated stamping line sheet material quick lifting fixture includes a fixture frame 1. The top surface of the fixture frame 1 is equipped with a placement rack 2 for placing sheet material 3. Specifically, the fixture frame 1 includes a worktable 11 and wheels 13. Support legs 12 are installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the worktable 11. Wheels 13 are rotatably installed on the top of the support legs 12. A drive rod 14 is fixedly installed between two wheels 13. The drive rod 14 is keyed to the output shaft of the gearbox 15. The input shaft of the gearbox 15 is keyed to the drive motor 16. The gearbox 15 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the worktable 11 by a mounting bracket 17.
[0041] After the drive motor 16 is powered on, it generates rotational power, which is transmitted to the input shaft of the gearbox 15 via a key connection. The gear set inside the gearbox 15 adjusts the input speed and torque according to a predetermined transmission ratio, outputting appropriate power to the output shaft. The output shaft then drives the drive rod 14 to rotate via a key connection. Since the drive rod 14 is fixedly connected to two wheels 13, these two wheels 13 rotate. The other two wheels 13 rotate in coordination under the action of ground friction, ultimately enabling the tooling frame 1 to move on the ground. By controlling the start, stop, direction, and speed of the drive motor 16, the moving direction and speed of the tooling frame 1 can be precisely controlled, allowing it to accurately move to the robot's workstation.
[0042] The stacking rack 2 includes three horizontal plates 21 and three vertical plates 22. The three horizontal plates 21 are equidistantly mounted on the top surface of the workbench 11, and the three vertical plates 22 are equidistantly mounted on the top surface of the three horizontal plates 21. The horizontal plates 21 and vertical plates 22 are fixedly installed to form a stable frame structure. The equidistant horizontal plates 21 on the top surface of the workbench 11 provide a supporting foundation for the vertical plates 22, and the equidistant vertical plates 22 on the top surface of the horizontal plates 21 together form a structure for placing or positioning the sheet metal 3, ensuring that the stacked sheet metal 3 maintains a stable position and posture on the workbench 11, facilitating subsequent processing or handling.
[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic suction components 4 are respectively installed on the top surface of the tooling frame 1. The magnetic suction components 4 include a sliding mechanism 41, a bonding mechanism 42 and a magnetic suction mechanism 43. The sliding mechanism 41 is installed on the top surface of the tooling frame 1 and is located around the placement frame 2. The bottom end of the bonding mechanism 42 is rotatably installed on the sliding mechanism 41, and the side wall of the magnetic suction mechanism 43 is fixedly installed on the end of the bonding mechanism 42.
[0044] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the magnetic attraction mechanism 43 includes a magnetic attraction plate 431, a magnet 434, and an adjustment component. The magnetic attraction plate 431 has a cavity 433 inside, and the magnet 434 is slidably installed in the cavity 433. The adjustment component is threadedly installed on the side wall of the magnetic attraction plate 431, and the adjustment component is rotatably installed on the side wall of the magnet 434. The adjustment component includes a lead screw 435 and a crank 436. The side wall of the lead screw 435 is threadedly connected to the magnetic attraction plate 431. One end of the lead screw 435 is fixedly installed on the crank 436, and the other end of the lead screw 435 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the magnet 434.
[0045] When it is necessary to adjust the position of magnet 434 to enhance or weaken the magnetic force on sheet 3, turn the crank 436. The crank handle 436 drives the lead screw 435 to rotate. Since the lead screw 435 is threadedly connected to the magnetic plate 431, the rotation of the lead screw 435 is converted into axial movement. One end of the lead screw 435 is rotatably connected to the magnet 434. Therefore, the axial movement of the lead screw 435 will push the magnet 434 to slide in the cavity 433 of the magnetic plate 431. By adjusting the position of the magnet 434 in the cavity 433, the distance between the magnet 434 and the sheet 3 is changed, thereby adjusting the magnetic field strength and range of action of the magnetic attraction mechanism 43. By adjusting the position of the magnet 434 through the adjustment component, the magnetic field strength can be flexibly adjusted according to factors such as the material, thickness, and stacking of the sheet 3. When it is necessary to separate the stacked sheet 3, the crank handle 436 is turned to bring the magnet 434 closer to the sheet 3. The enhanced magnetic field force can overcome the friction and interaction forces between the sheet 3, so that the stacked sheet 3 can be separated, making it convenient for the robotic arm to grasp a single sheet 3. At the same time, the magnetic field force can also be weakened according to actual needs to facilitate the release of the adsorbed sheet 3.
[0046] It is worth noting that a guide pin 437 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the magnetic plate 431, and a sliding hole is opened on the side wall of the magnet 434. The side wall of the guide pin 437 is slidably installed in the sliding hole. During the sliding process of the magnet 434, the guide pin 437 on the side wall of the magnetic plate 431 slides in the sliding hole on the side wall of the magnet 434, which plays a guiding and limiting role, ensuring that the magnet 434 can only slide smoothly along the direction of the guide pin 437, and will not deviate or rotate.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the sliding mechanism 41 includes a guide rail 411, a slide block 412 and a mounting plate 413. The guide rail 411 is installed on the top surface of the tooling frame 1 around the perimeter. The slide block 412 is slidably installed on the guide rail 411. The mounting plate 413 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the slide block 412. The bottom of the primary support column rotating arm 421 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 413.
[0048] When the position of the magnetic suction assembly 4 needs to be adjusted, the slide 412 slides along the guide rail 411. Since the mounting plate 413 is fixed on the slide 412, the mounting plate 413 moves with the slide 412. The bottom of the primary support column rotating arm 421 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 413, thereby driving the bonding mechanism 42 and the magnetic suction mechanism 43 to move together on the top surface of the tooling frame 1. By controlling the sliding distance and direction of the slide 412 on the guide rail 411, the magnetic suction mechanism 43 can be precisely adjusted to a suitable position around the sheet 3 to accommodate sheets 3 of different sizes and placement positions. It can flexibly move the magnetic suction mechanism 43 to the optimal adsorption position according to the actual size of the sheet 3 and its position on the placement frame 2, improving the applicability and flexibility of the magnetic suction assembly 4.
[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bonding mechanism 42 includes a primary support column rotating arm 421 and a secondary universal rotating arm 423. A mounting base 432 is fixedly installed on the top side wall of the magnetic suction plate 431. The mounting base 432 is installed on the end of the secondary universal rotating arm 423. The end of the primary support column rotating arm 421 is rotatably mounted with the secondary universal rotating arm 423.
[0050] When the magnetic attraction mechanism 43 needs to approach the sheet 3, the primary support column rotating arm 421 can rotate around the connection point with the mounting plate 413, changing its tilt angle and position. The secondary universal rotating arm 423 can rotate horizontally at the connection point with the primary support column rotating arm 421. Through the coordinated rotation of the primary support column rotating arm 421 and the secondary universal rotating arm 423, the magnetic plate 431 can adjust its posture in space, keeping it as close as possible to the surface of the sheet 3. This ensures that the magnetic plate 431 can tightly adhere to the side wall of the sheet 3, improving the adaptability of the magnetic attraction mechanism 43 to various sheets 3 and ensuring the adsorption effect between the magnetic plate 431 and the sheet 3.
[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
