Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal handling technology, and in particular to a sheet metal handling device. Background Technology

[0002] Boards are sheet-like products made of materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. They are widely used in construction, furniture manufacturing, and decoration projects. Based on the materials, they can be divided into wood-based boards, metal-based boards, plastic-based boards, and composite material boards.

[0003] Currently, during the processing of sheet materials, handling devices are required to transfer them from the loading station to the workbench of the processing equipment, or to transfer the sheet materials on the workbench of the processing equipment to the stacking station, or to transfer the sheet materials from one processing equipment to the next processing equipment.

[0004] Existing material handling devices generally use vacuum suction cups to adhere and fix the sheet metal, and then transfer it to the next process equipment along a preset path. However, due to structural design limitations, existing devices cannot flip the sheet metal during the handling process. When subsequent processes require processing the back of the sheet metal, additional flipping mechanisms or manual intervention are necessary, which not only increases operational complexity but also reduces overall production efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, improvements are proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model is a plate handling device proposed to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a sheet material handling device, comprising a robotic arm body, a PLC controller fixedly mounted on the base of the robotic arm body, and a sheet material adsorption and handling mechanism fixedly mounted at the end of the robotic arm body. The sheet material adsorption and handling mechanism includes a mounting frame, which is fixedly mounted at the end of the robotic arm body. A truss is detachably and fixedly mounted at the bottom of the mounting frame, and two assembly frames are symmetrically and detachably fixedly mounted at the bottom of the truss.

[0008] Vacuum pumps are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of each of the two assembly racks;

[0009] The bottom of each of the two assembly frames is fixedly connected to a housing, and an electric rotating frame is installed at one adjacent end of each of the two housings. Heat-conducting seats are fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of each of the two electric rotating frames.

[0010] Two adjacent heat-conducting seats are respectively fixedly embedded with a first motor and a second motor. The driving ends of the two second motors are fixedly connected with long shafts. The outer surfaces of both ends of the two long shafts are rotatably connected with the adjacent heat-conducting seats with mounting sleeves. The driving ends of the two first motors are fixedly connected with circular plates, and the circular plates are fixedly installed inside the adjacent mounting sleeves.

[0011] The two adjacent mounting sleeves are fixedly connected to a first vacuum suction cup, and the two first vacuum suction cups are attached to the bottom of the plate body.

[0012] A pushing component is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two long shafts, and a second vacuum suction cup is fixedly installed on the movable end of the pushing component.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting frame and the truss, as well as the truss and the assembly frame, are fixed together by multiple bolts. This multiple bolt connection enhances the stability and reliability of the overall structure and facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0014] Furthermore, both of the electric rotating frames include a third motor, which is fixedly installed inside the housing. The drive end of the third motor is fixedly connected to a gear, and a gear ring meshes with the outer surface of the gear. One end of the gear ring is fixedly connected to a rotating frame, which is installed through the housing and fixedly connected to two adjacent heat-conducting seats, thus driving the two heat-conducting seats to switch positions.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotating frame is rotatably connected to the housing, and the housing provides support for the rotating frame, which facilitates the installation of the rotating frame.

[0016] Furthermore, both of the aforementioned pushing components include a curved plate, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the long shaft. An electric push rod is fixedly mounted on the top of the curved plate, and the movable end of the electric push rod passes through the curved plate and is fixedly connected to the second vacuum suction cup. Two slide rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the second vacuum suction cup, and the slide rods pass through the curved plate and are slidably connected to the curved plate. The slide rods cooperate with the curved plate to limit the movement and ensure the stability of the movement of the second vacuum suction cup.

[0017] Furthermore, a three-way solenoid valve is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two first vacuum suction cups and the top of each of the two second vacuum suction cups, enabling rapid switching between vacuum adsorption and release.

[0018] Furthermore, the PLC controller is electrically connected to the three-way solenoid valve, electric push rod, robotic arm body, vacuum pump, third motor, second motor and first motor. The PLC controls each actuator in a unified manner, coordinates the timing of actions, and optimizes the work process.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a sheet material handling device is disclosed, including a robotic arm body 22. The operating principle and method of the robotic arm body 22 have been demonstrated in a robotic arm flexible sheet material non-contact handling device with the prior art patent publication number CN222138047U, so they will not be described in detail in this application. A PLC controller 21 is fixedly installed on the base of the robotic arm body 22, and a sheet material adsorption and handling mechanism is fixedly installed at the end of the robotic arm body 22.

[0030] The sheet material adsorption and handling mechanism includes a mounting frame 24, which is fixedly installed at the end of the robotic arm body 22. A truss 3 is detachably and fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 24. Two assembly frames 1 are symmetrically and detachably fixedly installed at the bottom of the truss 3. The mounting frame 24 and the truss 3, as well as the truss 3 and the assembly frames 1, are fixed by multiple bolts. The bolt connection allows for the assembly and disassembly of the truss 3 and the assembly frames 1. The truss 3 of different lengths can be replaced according to the length of the sheet material body 2 to meet the needs of handling sheet material bodies 2 of different lengths.

[0031] Vacuum pumps 23 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of both assembly racks 1. Vacuum pumps 23 are existing technology and their function is to remove gas and maintain vacuum.

[0032] Both assembly frames 1 are fixedly connected to the bottom of housing 5. An electric rotating frame is installed at one adjacent end of each housing 5. Heat-conducting seats 13 are fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of each electric rotating frame. Each electric rotating frame includes a third motor 17. The third motor 17 adopts an existing synchronous motor, which is convenient for the PLC controller 21 to control the two third motors 17 to run synchronously. The third motor 17 is fixedly installed inside the housing 5. Heat dissipation holes can be opened at appropriate positions on the outer surface of the housing 5 to increase the air circulation speed and facilitate the heat dissipation of the third motor 17. A gear 16 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the third motor 17. A gear ring 14 meshes with the outer surface of the gear 16. A rotating frame 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the gear ring 14. The rotating frame 4 passes through the housing 5 and is fixedly connected to the two adjacent heat-conducting seats 13. The rotating frame 4 is rotatably connected to the housing 5. The rotating frame 4 and the housing 5 are rotatably connected through bearings. The bearings can reduce the rotational friction of the rotating frame 4.

[0033] Two adjacent heat-conducting seats 13 are respectively fixedly embedded with a first motor 18 and a second motor 20. The heat-conducting seats 13 are made of aluminum alloy, which facilitates heat dissipation during the operation of the first motor 18 and the second motor 20. The drive ends of the two second motors 20 are fixedly connected to long shafts 12. The outer surfaces of both ends of the two long shafts 12 are rotatably connected to the adjacent heat-conducting seats 13 with mounting sleeves 11. The drive ends of the two first motors 18 are fixedly connected to circular plates 19, and the circular plates 19 are fixedly installed inside the adjacent mounting sleeves 11. The long shafts 12 are rotatably connected to the two mounting sleeves 11 through bearings. The mounting sleeves 11 are also rotatably connected to the heat-conducting seats 13 through bearings, which can reduce the rotational friction of the mounting sleeves 11 and the long shafts 12.

[0034] Two adjacent mounting sleeves 11 are fixedly connected to a first vacuum suction cup 9, and the plate body 2 is attached to the bottom of the two first vacuum suction cups 9.

[0035] A pushing assembly is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two long shafts 12. A second vacuum suction cup 10 is fixedly installed at the movable end of the pushing assembly. Both pushing assemblies include a bent plate 15, which is fixedly installed at the top of the long shaft 12. An electric push rod 7 is fixedly installed at the top of the bent plate 15, and the movable end of the electric push rod 7 passes through the bent plate 15 and is fixedly connected to the second vacuum suction cup 10. Two slide rods 6 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the second vacuum suction cup 10, and the slide rods 6 pass through the bent plate 15 and are slidably connected to the bent plate 15.

[0036] The tops of the two first vacuum suction cups 9 and the tops of the two second vacuum suction cups 10 are all fixedly connected to a three-way solenoid valve 8. In actual use, one of the remaining two ports of the two three-way solenoid valves 8 is fixedly connected to the input end of the vacuum pump 23 with a hose, while the other port is not installed with any fittings. When the suction is released, it is convenient for air to enter the vacuum suction cup through the three-way solenoid valve 8.

[0037] The PLC controller 21 is electrically connected to the three-way solenoid valve 8, the electric push rod 7, the robotic arm body 22, the vacuum pump 23, the third motor 17, the second motor 20, and the first motor 18 to facilitate overall control. The specific data analysis and processing involved to further realize the control function are methods that can be implemented by those skilled in the art based on common knowledge. These methods are not within the scope of this solution. The above description is only to illustrate the beneficial effects that can be achieved by this hardware structure improvement in conjunction with common knowledge.

[0038] Working principle: When in use, the input end of the vacuum pump 23 is fixedly connected to one of the two adjacent three-way solenoid valves 8;

[0039] The robotic arm body 22 drives the mounting frame 24, truss 3, assembly frame 1, and other components to lower the first vacuum suction cup 9. Once the first vacuum suction cup 9 is in contact with the plate body 2, the three-way solenoid valve 8, which is fixedly connected to the first vacuum suction cup 9, connects to the flexible hose. The vacuum pump 23 performs vacuuming to adsorb and fix the plate body 2. Then, the robotic arm body 22, through its components, lifts and transports the plate body 2. During this process, the second motor 20 operates, driving the long shaft 12 to rotate. The long shaft 12, through a push assembly, rotates the second vacuum suction cup 10 180 degrees. At this point, the second vacuum suction cup 10 is positioned below the plate body 2. Next, the electric push rod 7 pushes the second vacuum suction cup 10 to contact the plate body 2. Then, the three-way solenoid valve 8 on the second vacuum suction cup 10 connects to the flexible hose, and the three-way solenoid valve 8 on the first vacuum suction cup 9 disconnects from the flexible hose. The first vacuum suction cup 9 is connected to the outside air, and the air enters the first vacuum suction cup 9 to release the adsorption and fixation of the plate body 2. The second vacuum suction cup 10, under the action of the vacuum pump 23, achieves adsorption and fixation of the plate body 2. Then the third motor 17 runs and drives the drive gear 16 to rotate. The drive gear 16 drives the gear ring 14 and the rotating frame 4 to rotate. Then, through the heat conduction seat 13 and other components, the plate body 2 is rotated. Then the first motor 18 drives the circular plate 19 to rotate. The circular plate 19 drives the mounting sleeve 11 to rotate 180 degrees. The mounting sleeve 11 drives the first vacuum suction cup 9 to rotate 180 degrees to avoid affecting the placement of the plate body 2 after transfer. When the plate body 2 moves to the next process equipment, the vacuum pump 23 stops running, and the three-way solenoid valve 8 on the second vacuum suction cup 10 is connected to the air to release the adsorption of the plate body 2. Then all components are reset.
