[0039] The sheet metal transfer structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
[0040] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the sheet metal transfer structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a stand 100, a workstation frame 200, a guide rail 300, and a transfer vehicle 400.
[0041] The upright frame 100 is used to place the sheet metal 101. The upright frame 100 includes a base frame 110, with a clearance groove 111 on the lower side of the base frame 110, and base frame slots 124 provided on the front and rear sides of the base frame 110. Referring to Figure 3, the upright frame 100 can be placed on the workstation frame 200. The workstation frame 200 is provided with workstation rollers 210, which can engage with the base frame slots 124. The guide rail 300 extends to the side of each workstation frame 200. Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the transfer cart 400 can move along the guide rail 300, and the upright frame 100 can be placed on it. Placed on a transfer cart 400, the transfer cart 400 includes a frame 410 and a translation frame 420. The translation frame 420 can move along the left and right direction on the frame 410 and extend into the clearance slot 111. The frame 410 is provided with a frame retaining wheel 412, which can lock into the base frame retaining slot 124. The translation frame 420 is provided with an insert plate 432, the upper end of which can lock into the lower side of the base frame 110. When the insert plate 432 locks into the base frame 110, the translation frame 420 can drive the upright frame 100 to move between the frame 410 and the workstation frame 200.
[0042] For example, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the upright frame 100 is used to place the sheet metal 101. The upright frame 100 includes a base frame 110, with a clearance groove 111 on the lower side of the base frame 110. Base frame slots 124 are provided on the front and rear sides of the base frame 110, and the base frame slots 124 are fixed on the base frame 110. Referring to Figures 3, 4, and 5, the upright frame 100 can be placed on the workstation frame 200, that is, the workstation frame 200 can store the upright frame 100 and the sheet metal 101 on the upright frame 100. The workstation frame 200 is provided with workstation rollers 210, which can engage the base frame slots 124. In this way, the workstation rollers 210 can both support and stabilize the base frame 110. The guide rails 300 extend to the sides of each workstation frame 200. The transfer cart 400 can move along the guide rail 300, allowing it to move alongside the workstation rack 200 as needed. The upright rack 100 can be placed on the transfer cart 400, enabling the transfer cart 400 to transport the upright rack 100 and the plates 101 on it. The transfer cart 400 includes a frame 410 and a translation frame 420. The frame 410 travels along the guide rail 300. The translation frame 420 can move laterally on the frame 410 and extend into the clearance slot 111. The frame 410 is equipped with frame rollers 412, which engage with the base frame slot 124, ensuring sufficient stability of the upright rack 100 on the frame 410. The translation frame 420 is equipped with a plate 432, the upper end of which engages with the lower side of the base frame 110 for pulling the upright rack 100.
[0043] Referring to Figure 11, taking the guide rail 300 as a straight line extending forward and backward, the first position workstation 200 is located on the right front side of the guide rail 300, and the second position workstation 200 is located on the right rear side of the guide rail 300 as an example. In actual operation, the transfer cart 400 first moves to the left side of the first position workstation 200, then the transfer cart 400 stops, and the translation frame 420 extends to the right from the frame 410 and into the clearance groove 111 under the base frame 110. Then the insert plate 432 moves so that the upper end of the insert plate 432 can lock the lower side of the base frame 110 of the upright 100. Then the translation frame 420 returns to its original position to the left, so that the translation frame 420 can pull the upright 100 together with the plate 101 on the upright 100 from the workstation 200 onto the transfer cart 400.
[0044] During the above process, referring to Figure 12, the translation frame 420 uses the insert plate 432 to hold the upright frame 100 in place to move the upright frame 100 between the workstation frame 200 and the transfer car 400.
[0045] Referring to Figure 2, when the upright 100 is on the workstation frame 200, the workstation roller 210 supports the upright 100 and guides its movement, reducing the friction between the upright 100 and the workstation frame 200. Furthermore, the workstation roller 210 of the workstation frame 200 engages with the base frame slot 124 of the upright 100, preventing the upright 100 from tipping over during movement.
[0046] Referring to Figure 4, when the upright 100 is on the transfer vehicle 400, the frame retainer 412 supports the upright 100 and guides its movement, reducing the friction between the upright 100 and the transfer vehicle 400. Furthermore, the frame retainer 412 of the transfer vehicle 400 engages with the base frame retainer 124 of the upright 100, preventing the upright 100 from tipping over during movement.
[0047] Referring to Figure 11, after the upright frame 100 is loaded onto the transfer cart 400, the transfer cart 400 moves along the guide rail 300 to the left side of the workstation rack 200 at the second position. The translation frame 420 locks the upright frame 100 in place using the insert plate 432, and then moves to the left, pushing the upright frame 100, along with the sheet metal 101 on it, from the transfer cart 400 onto the workstation rack 200. This completes the transfer of the upright frame 100 and the sheet metal 101 on it.
[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, referring to FIG2, the stand 100 includes a support frame 130. When the plate 101 is placed vertically on the base frame 110, the plate 101 can lean against the support frame 130 to ensure that the plate 101 is placed stably on the stand 100.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to FIGS. 3 and 5, a slot 112 is provided on the lower side of the chassis 110, and the upper end of the insertion plate 432 can be inserted into the slot 112. After the upper end of the insertion plate 432 is inserted into the slot 112, it can ensure that the translation frame 420 can firmly hook the vertical frame 100, thereby ensuring the smooth movement of the vertical frame 100.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, clamping beams 120 are provided on the front and rear sides of the chassis 110. The clamping beam 120 includes an upper side plate 121, a middle vertical plate 122 and a lower side plate 123. The cross-section formed by the upper side plate 121, the middle vertical plate 122 and the lower side plate 123 is a "C" - shaped structure. The chassis clamping groove 124 is located on the clamping beam 120, and the station clamping wheel 210 and the vehicle frame clamping wheel 412 can abut against the lower side of the upper side plate 121.
[0051] That is, the upper side plate 121, the middle vertical plate 122 and the lower side plate 123 form a "C" - shaped beam structure. Among them, the station clamping wheel 210 and the vehicle frame clamping wheel 412 can abut against the lower side of the upper side plate 121 to support the vertical frame 100. And once the vertical frame 100 may tip over, the station clamping wheel 210 and the vehicle frame clamping wheel 412 can abut against the upper side position of the lower side plate 123 at the翘起 position of the corresponding vertical frame 100, ensuring that the vertical frame 100 will not fall down at the position of the station frame 200 and on the transfer vehicle 400 during the handling process, and ensuring the smooth and safe handling process.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the upper side plate 121 further includes a reinforcing beam 125, which can improve the structural strength of the upper side plate 121. Especially when the station clamping wheel 210 and the vehicle frame clamping wheel 412 abut against the upper side plate 121, the upper side plate 121 can withstand a sufficient large gravity to support the vertical frame 100 and the sheet material 101.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the end of the reinforcing beam 125 has a reinforcing beam guiding inclined surface 126. When the vertical frame 100 is sent to the station frame 200, when the station clamping wheel 210 passes through the end of the reinforcing beam 125, the reinforcing beam guiding inclined surface 126 can guide the station clamping wheel 210 into the chassis clamping groove 124, making it easier for the station clamping wheel 210 to enter the chassis clamping groove 124.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a station frame limiting wheel 220 is provided on the station frame 200. The side wall of the middle vertical plate 122 near the clearance groove 111 has an outer support surface 1221, and the station frame limiting wheel 220 can abut against the outer support surface 1221, which is equivalent to the station frame limiting wheel 220 can abut against the side wall position of the middle vertical plate 122 outside the clamping beam 120, ensuring that the vertical frame 100 is reliable enough on the station frame 200.
[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, a movable hook 230 is provided on the workstation frame 200. The movable hook 230 includes a hook fixing frame 231, a swing hook 232, and a spring 233. The hook fixing frame 231 and the swing hook 232 are connected by a rotating shaft. The two ends of the spring 233 are respectively connected to the hook fixing frame 231 and the swing hook 232. The swing hook 232 can swing up and down on the hook fixing frame 231, while the spring 233 provides a pulling force to make the swing hook 232 rise upward.
[0056] The locking bracket 231 and the swing hook 232 are connected by a pivot, allowing the swing hook 232 to rotate up and down. When the upright frame 100 is placed on the workstation frame 200, the swing hook 232 rises to block the upright frame 100, preventing it from sliding off the workstation frame 200 along the workstation locking roller 210. When the workstation frame 200 needs to be moved, the swing hook 232 is lowered to prevent it from blocking the upright frame 100 or the translation frame 420.
[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, a disengagement pusher cylinder 461 is provided on the side of the transfer vehicle 400, and a disengagement pusher 460 is provided on the disengagement pusher cylinder 461. The disengagement pusher cylinder 461 can control the translational and extensional movement of the disengagement pusher 460. The swing hook 232 is provided with a hook tip 234 and a hook tip inclined surface 235, with the hook tip inclined surface 235 facing the guide rail 300. When the disengagement pusher cylinder 461 controls the disengagement pusher 460 to extend, the disengagement pusher 460 can push towards the hook tip inclined surface 235, guiding and controlling the swing hook 232 to descend. Conversely, when the disengagement pusher cylinder 461 controls the disengagement pusher 460 to retract, the disengagement pusher 460 disengages from the swing hook 232, and the swing hook 232 resets and rises under the action of the spring 233, blocking the translation frame 420 through the hook tip 234.
[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, a fixing hook 250 is provided on one side of the reverse guide rail 300 of the workstation frame 200, and the fixing hook 250 can block the translation frame 420 from the other side of the workstation frame 200.
[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, a limit switch 240 is provided next to the workstation rack 200. The transfer vehicle 400 triggers the limit switch 240 only after it arrives at the position next to the workstation rack 200 and aligns with the predetermined position of the workstation rack 200. The limit switch 240 can then send a signal to prompt the transfer vehicle 400 to align properly. This ensures the smooth handling of the upright rack 100.
[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, the extension path of the guide rail 300 and the position of each workstation 200 can be determined as needed. For example, the guide rail 300 can extend in a straight line or extend in an arc.
[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, a shock absorber 310 is provided next to the guide rail 300 to prevent the transfer vehicle 400 from derailing due to walking off the guide rail 300. At the same time, the shock absorber 310 acts as a buffer when impacted by the transfer vehicle 400.
[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, a photoelectric switch device 320 is provided next to the guide rail 300 to monitor whether there are people or goods next to the guide rail 300 and to send a signal or prompt in time to avoid accidents.

An insert plate 432 is located above the second-stage extension device 422 and moves translatably with the second-stage extension device 422. The first-stage extension device 421 is provided with a first guide rail 4211 and a second guide rail 4213. The first guide rail 4211 guides the first-stage extension device 421 to move left and right on the upper side of the frame 410, and the second guide rail 4213 guides the second-stage extension device 422 to move left and right on the upper side of the first-stage extension device 421. Referring to Figure 12, in the two-stage extension structure composed of the first-stage extension device 421 and the second-stage extension device 422, for example, when the translation frame 420 needs to extend to the right, the first-stage extension device 421 moves to the right, and simultaneously the second-stage extension device 422 moves to the right of the first-stage extension device 421. Then, when the translation frame 420 moves the upright 100, the first-stage extension device 421 moves to the left, while the second-stage extension device 422 moves to the left of the first-stage extension device 421. In this process, the translation frame 420 can hook the upright 100 with a small stroke and pull the upright 100 between the workstation frame 200 and the transfer cart 400. In particular, the first-stage extension device 421 does not need to extend a great distance out of the frame 410, ensuring that the transfer cart 400 is sufficiently stable during the handling process.
[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, referring to Figures 7 and 8, the frame 410 has an extension arm receiving groove 411, which extends in the left-right direction.
