Description

A disc-shaped material transfer system with automatic centering function Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transfer, specifically to a disc-shaped material transfer system with automatic centering function. Background Technology

[0002] In existing disc material transfer systems, the coordinated operation of the material lifting and transfer mechanisms often faces the problem of inaccurate material positioning. Due to the limited positioning accuracy of the lifting plate or initial material placement deviations, disc materials are prone to shifting or tilting during lifting, leading to failure or insecure gripping by the subsequent transfer mechanism's gripper, and even posing a risk of material falling or equipment collision. Current technologies typically rely on manual adjustment or the addition of complex sensor feedback systems to correct material position, but this not only reduces production efficiency but also increases system costs and maintenance complexity.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a material transfer system with centering function that can automatically correct the material position before lifting to ensure the accuracy and stability of subsequent transfer processes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a disc material transfer system with automatic centering function, the purpose of which is to solve the problem of unstable transfer process caused by inaccurate positioning of disc materials.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A disc-shaped material transfer system with automatic centering function includes:

[0007] Conveying module, used for conveying disc-shaped materials;

[0008] A material receiving platform, located at the end of the conveying module, is used to receive materials;

[0009] The centering mechanism is installed above the material carrying platform and includes at least three sets of positioning components distributed circumferentially and a linkage component that is connected between each of the positioning components. Each set of positioning components has a positioning claw that can slide radially. When the linkage component is working, it can synchronously drive all the positioning claws to move radially inward.

[0010] A lifting mechanism is located below the material support platform and is used to drive the material support platform to move upward so that the clamping mechanism can be switched to remove the disc-shaped material.

[0011] By adopting the above structure, the centering mechanism actively corrects the material position before the lifting mechanism operates, aligning the material center with the center of the support platform, eliminating the initial placement deviation of the material, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of subsequent transfer processes.

[0012] Preferably, the centering mechanism is mounted above the material support platform via a truss, with a mounting plate on the lower side of the truss. The linkage assembly includes a turntable rotatably mounted on the mounting plate, a transmission rod connecting the turntable and each of the positioning components, and a motor for driving the turntable to rotate. One end of the transmission rod is eccentrically hinged to the turntable, and the other end is hinged to the positioning component. The positioning component is slidably mounted on the mounting plate radially along the turntable. Using this structure, the rotation of the turntable synchronously drives each positioning component, resulting in high synchronization accuracy, stable and efficient positioning, and low cost per motor drive.

[0013] Preferably, the positioning component includes a slide rail mounted on the mounting plate, with the upper end of the positioning claw slidably mounted on the slide rail and the lower end extending downwards. This structure, employing mechanical guidance, is simple, reliable, and provides precise and controllable claw movement trajectory.

[0014] Preferably, the centering mechanism comprises four sets of positioning components arranged in a circumferential array. With this structure, the material is subjected to uniform force, resulting in high positioning stability.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting plate is mounted on the truss via a telescopic cylinder that allows it to move up and down reciprocally. With this structure, the centering mechanism can descend to perform centering and rise to avoid interference when clearing materials.

[0016] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes two lifting cylinders symmetrically arranged below the material support platform. With this structure, the lifting force is evenly distributed, preventing material tilting and facilitating material clamping by the external transfer mechanism.

[0017] Preferably, each positioning claw includes an upper sliding base and a lower clamping portion, with the sliding base and clamping portion connected by an elastic buffer assembly. The elastic buffer assembly includes an upper clamping plate fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding base and a lower clamping plate fixedly connected to the upper end of the clamping portion. The inner ends of the upper and lower clamping plates are hinged, and the outer ends are provided with elastic elements. This structure enables dynamic adaptive positioning of materials.

[0018] Preferably, the conveying module includes a conveying support frame on which multiple parallel conveying rollers are mounted. These rollers rotate synchronously to convey materials. This structure ensures smooth material conveying.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] 1. The disc material transfer system with automatic centering function provided by this utility model actively corrects the material position through the centering mechanism before the lifting mechanism works, aligns the center of the material with the center of the support platform, eliminates the initial placement position deviation of the material, and ensures the accuracy and stability of subsequent transfer processes.

[0021] 2. The centering positioning function is achieved by adopting a purely mechanical structure, which is simple in structure, has good stability, and greatly reduces system complexity and maintenance costs.

[0022] 3. Through the design of the elastic buffer component, the material positioning process achieves both adaptive adjustment and precise positioning. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1, a disc material conversion system with automatic centering function is provided. The system includes a conveying module 1 for conveying disc materials, a centering mechanism 3 for centering the materials, and a lifting mechanism 4 for lifting the materials after centering. The conveying module 1 is provided with a material support platform 2 at its end. The material support platform 2 is used to receive disc materials. The centering mechanism 3 is located above the material support platform 2, and the lifting mechanism 4 is located below the material support platform 2.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1-4, the centering mechanism 3 is installed above the material support platform 2 via the truss 6. The centering mechanism 3 includes four sets of positioning components 31 arranged in a circumferential array. The center of each of the four sets of positioning components 31 is provided with a linkage component 32 that is connected between each positioning component 31. The truss 6 is provided with a mounting plate 8 on its lower side. The linkage component 32 includes a turntable 321 that is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 8, a transmission rod 322 that connects the turntable 321 and each positioning component 31, and a motor 323 that drives the turntable 321 to rotate. One end of the transmission rod 322 is eccentrically hinged to the turntable 321, and the other end is hinged to the positioning component 31.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1-4, the positioning component 31 is radially slidably mounted on the mounting plate 8 along the turntable 321. The positioning component 31 includes a slide rail 312 mounted on the mounting plate 8 and positioning claws 311 slidably mounted on the slide rail 312. The slide rail 312 extends radially with the center of the turntable 321 as the center. The lower end of the positioning claws 311 extends downward perpendicularly to the slide rail 312. When the turntable 321 rotates, the eccentrically hinged transmission rod 322 can convert the rotational motion into the linear motion of the positioning claws 311, so that all four positioning claws 311 slide along the corresponding slide rail 312 and retract inward in all four directions at the same time, so that the material is centered.

[0032] As shown in Figure 4, each positioning claw 311 includes an upper sliding base 311a and a lower clamping part 311b. The sliding base 311a is slidably engaged with the slide rail 312. The sliding base 311a and the clamping part 311b are connected by an elastic buffer assembly 311c. The elastic buffer assembly 311c includes an upper clamping plate 311d fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding base 311a and a lower clamping plate 311e fixedly connected to the upper end of the clamping part 311b. The inner ends of the upper clamping plate 311d and the lower clamping plate 311e are hinged, and the outer ends are provided with elastic elements 311f. During initial contact, the elastic element 311f is compressed, which can automatically compensate for material placement deviation. When the elastic element 311f is compressed to the dead point, the hinged structure becomes a rigid connection, and the linkage assembly 32 forces the synchronization of the positions of all positioning claws 311 to ensure that the disc-shaped material is in the center position.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, the conveying module 1 includes a conveying support 11, on which multiple parallel conveying rollers 12 are mounted. These rollers rotate synchronously to convey materials. The mounting plate 8 is mounted on the truss 6 via a telescopic cylinder 7, allowing it to reciprocate up and down. The lifting mechanism 4 includes two lifting cylinders 41 symmetrically positioned below the material support platform 2.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, the workflow of the disc material conversion system is as follows: In the initial state, the support platform 2 is in a low position under the control of the lifting mechanism 4. After the disc material is conveyed to the support platform 2 by the synchronous roller 12 of the conveying module 1, the telescopic cylinder 7 drives the centering mechanism 3 to descend, the motor 323 works, and then the turntable 321 and the transmission rod 322 drive the four positioning claws 311 to synchronously retract radially. The elastic buffer component 311c first flexibly adapts to the material position deviation and then switches to rigid positioning, completing the automatic centering of the disc material. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder 41 pushes the support platform 2 upward, lifting the disc material. The external conversion clamping mechanism moves the claws to below the material and fixes the material by clamping, thus transferring the material. The centering mechanism 3 actively corrects the material position before the lifting mechanism 4 works, aligning the center of the material with the center of the material support platform 2, eliminating the initial placement position deviation of the material, avoiding the failure or insecure gripping of the conversion clamping mechanism, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of subsequent transfer processes.

[0035] As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, the end of the conveying module 1 is provided with two material carrying platforms 2, each equipped with a corresponding centering mechanism 3 and a lifting mechanism 4. This enables efficient parallel operation, improving equipment utilization and production efficiency.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art, under the guidance of the present utility model, can make various similar representations without departing from the spirit and claims of the present utility model, and such modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
