[0002] After mounting or laminating the boards, they can be used in various scenarios, such as advertising display boards, posters, and home decoration. In the production process of boards (such as mounted boards and laminated boards), after the film paper is pasted on the board, it is cut. For example, it is cut according to the outer outline of the pattern on the film paper, or the excess blank areas on the board are cut off according to a uniform standard. With the continuous innovation and development of production technology, the production of boards has evolved from the traditional manual transfer and loading and unloading method to fully automated loading and unloading.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent application CN115847799A discloses an automatic lamination production line for sheet materials. In this prior art, after the sheet material is laminated by the sheet material laminating machine, it is conveyed to the unloading device via a second conveyor line, where the unloading device unloads the laminated sheet material. Although this prior art can automatically drive the second adsorption mechanism to move vertically and horizontally, it has the following technical problems:

[0004] 1. Gantry frames need to be installed on both sides of the output end of the second conveyor line to support the two second crossbeams, which takes up space and makes it impossible to install cutting equipment directly on both sides of the second conveyor line.

[0005] 2. The second adsorption mechanism cannot move longitudinally. It can only be used to drive the second adsorption mechanism to move periodically on both sides of the second conveyor line. It cannot move along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line, which limits its use. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a cutting and feeding device.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A cutting and feeding device includes a support frame, with support rods fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the support frame. A movable support frame that can move left and right is provided on the support rods. A left and right moving component that drives the movable support frame to move is provided on the movable support frame. A lifting component is provided on the movable support frame. A mounting beam is slidably connected to the bottom end of the lifting component. A plurality of suction cup components are installed on the mounting beam. A front and back moving component that drives the mounting beam to move back and forth is provided at the bottom end of the lifting component.

[0009] Furthermore, the left and right moving component includes a first connecting shaft rotatably mounted on a moving bracket, a first motor driving the first connecting shaft to rotate, and a first gear fixed at both ends of the first connecting shaft. The support rod is provided with a first rack that meshes with the first gear.

[0010] Furthermore, the movable support is a truss structure, and the lifting assembly includes multiple first longitudinal rods fixed on the movable support, second longitudinal rods slidably connected to the first longitudinal rods, and a longitudinal movement drive assembly for driving the second longitudinal rods to move up and down. The longitudinal movement drive assembly is fixed at the lower end of the movable support, and a second rack is provided on the second longitudinal rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the movable support is a square steel, and the lifting assembly includes a rectangular frame sleeved on the movable support and a longitudinal movement drive assembly that drives the rectangular frame to move up and down. The rectangular frame is slidably connected to the movable support, and a second rack is provided on one longitudinal side wall of the rectangular frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the longitudinal movement drive assembly includes a second connecting shaft rotatably mounted on a movable bracket, a fourth gear fixed on the second connecting shaft, and a second motor that drives the second connecting shaft to rotate, wherein the fourth gear meshes with the second rack.

[0013] Furthermore, a first slider is provided at the lower end of the lifting assembly, and a second slide rail that cooperates with the first slider is provided on the mounting beam.

[0014] Furthermore, the forward and backward moving assembly includes a lead screw threadedly connected to the lower end of the lifting assembly and a third motor that drives the lead screw to rotate, the third motor being fixed on the mounting beam.

[0015] Furthermore, the forward and backward moving assembly includes a fourth rack fixed on the mounting beam, a seventh gear meshing with the fourth rack, and a fourth motor driving the seventh gear to rotate, the fourth motor being fixed to the lower end of the lifting assembly.

[0016] Furthermore, a third slide rail is provided on the upper side of the support rod, and a second slider that matches the third slide rail is provided on the movable bracket.

[0017] Furthermore, the first rack is disposed on the upper or lower side of the support rod, and the first gear is disposed correspondingly to the first rack.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This utility model directly fixes the support rods at both ends of the bracket, eliminating the need for an additional gantry frame, thus effectively saving space;

[0020] This invention, through the cooperation of left-right moving components, lifting components, and front-back moving components, enables the suction cup assembly to move in three dimensions: vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal, making it more convenient and flexible to use.

[0021] When feeding the sheet material, the lifting component on the moving bracket descends and picks up the sheet material through the suction cup component. If the sheet material is inconsistent in size or has a positional deviation, the position of the suction cup component is adjusted by the forward and backward moving component to pick up the sheet material. After picking up the sheet material, the moving bracket can be moved left and right, so that the sheet material can be picked up and moved to the next process machine on the left or right. The entire production process realizes the process of moving the sheet material up, down, forward, backward and left and right, which improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Example

[0031] See Figure 1-7 A cutting and feeding device includes a bracket 1, with support rods 5 fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the bracket 1. A movable bracket 6 that can move left and right is provided on the support rods 5. A left and right moving component 8 that drives the movable bracket 6 to move is provided on the movable bracket 6. A lifting component 9 is provided on the movable bracket 6. A mounting beam 14 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the lifting component 9. A plurality of suction cup components 11 are installed on the mounting beam 14. A front and back moving component 10 that drives the mounting beam 14 to move back and forth is provided at the bottom end of the lifting component 9.

[0032] Specifically, the bracket 1 is a rectangular frame composed of multiple square steel or aluminum profiles welded or fixed with screws, and the four legs of the bracket 1 extend upwards. The support rod 5 is fixed to the top of the legs, and the length of the support rod 5 is more than twice the width of the bracket 1. By setting the left and right moving component 8, the moving bracket 6 can be moved left and right, which can adsorb and move the plate to the next process machine on the left or right. By setting the lifting component, the suction cup component 11 can be lowered to contact and adsorb the plate, and then the plate can be lifted, achieving automation of production and improving production efficiency. By setting the front and back moving component, the plate adsorbed on the suction cup component 11 can be moved back and forth to the corresponding position.

[0033] In this embodiment, the left and right moving component 8 includes a first connecting shaft 81 rotatably mounted on the moving bracket 6, a first motor 85 driving the first connecting shaft 81 to rotate, and a first gear 82 fixed at both ends of the first connecting shaft 81.

The upper side of the support rod 5 is provided with a third slide rail 16, and the moving bracket 6 is provided with a second slider 20 that matches the third slide rail 16.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the movable support 6 is a truss structure. A U-shaped connecting plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side wall of the top of the movable support 6. Symmetrical circular holes are opened on the upper side of the U-shaped connecting plate, and bearings are installed in the circular holes. A first connecting shaft 81 passes through the bearings. A second gear 83 is fixedly connected to the first connecting shaft 81 in the U-shaped connecting plate. A third gear 84 meshes with the lower side of the second gear 83. A first motor 85 fixedly connected to the third gear 84 is fixedly connected to the first motor 85 fixed on the U-shaped connecting plate. The first connecting shaft 81 is composed of multiple short shafts connected in series. The short shaft in the middle section is connected to the short shafts on both sides through a coupling 13, and the short shafts on both sides are mounted on the movable support 6 through a fixing seat 12.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first rack 7 is disposed on the upper side of the support rod 5 and is located inside the third slide rail 16. The first gear 82 is disposed corresponding to the first rack 7. When the first motor 85 is started, the output shaft of the first motor 85 drives the third gear 84 to rotate, the third gear 84 drives the second gear 83 to rotate, and the first connecting shaft 81 drives the first gears 82 on both sides to rotate. The first gears 82 mesh with the first rack 7, thereby driving the movable bracket 6 to move left and right on the support rod 5.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the lifting assembly 9 includes multiple first longitudinal rods 91 fixed on the movable bracket 6, a second longitudinal rod 94 slidably connected to the first longitudinal rods 91, and a longitudinal movement drive assembly for driving the second longitudinal rods 94 to move up and down. The longitudinal movement drive assembly is fixed at the lower end of the movable bracket 6, and a second rack 95 is provided on the second longitudinal rod 94.

[0037] Specifically, a first slide rail 93 for sliding the second longitudinal rod 94 up and down is fixedly connected to the first longitudinal rod 91, and a third slider matching the first slide rail 93 is provided on the side of the second longitudinal rod 94; the longitudinal movement drive assembly includes a second connecting shaft 97 rotatably mounted on the lower end of the movable bracket 6, a fourth gear 96 fixed on the second connecting shaft 97, and a second motor 910 driving the second connecting shaft 97 to rotate. The fourth gear 96 meshes with the second rack 95, and there are three fourth gears 96, which are fixedly connected to both ends of the second connecting shaft 97. The fourth gear 96 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the second connecting shaft 97. The fourth gears 96 at both ends mesh with the second rack 95. The fourth gear 96 at the middle position is meshed with a sixth gear 99 on one side. The sixth gear 99 is fixedly connected to a second motor 910. The second motor 910 is mounted on the lower end of the movable bracket 6 through an L-shaped seat 911. Similarly, the middle section of the second connecting shaft 97 is composed of multiple short shafts connected in series. The middle short shaft is connected to the short shafts on both sides through a coupling 13, and the short shafts on both sides are mounted on the movable bracket 6 through a fixed seat 12.

[0038] When the second motor 910 is started, the output shaft of the second motor 910 drives the sixth gear 99 to rotate. The sixth gear 99 meshes with the fourth gear 96 in the middle position and rotates. The fourth gear 96 drives the second connecting shaft 97 to rotate. The second connecting shaft 97 drives the fourth gears 96 at both ends to rotate. The fourth gears 96 at both ends mesh with the second rack 95. Then the fourth gear 96 drives the second rack 95 to drive the second vertical rod 94 to move up and down. At the same time, it drives the suction cup assembly 11 at the bottom of the second vertical rod 94 to move up and down. It can pick up plates of different thicknesses and can also pick up plates to a certain height.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the lower end of the lifting assembly 9 is provided with a first slider 102, and the mounting beam 14 is provided with a second slide rail 15 that cooperates with the first slider 102; the forward and backward moving assembly 10 includes a lead screw 103 threadedly connected to the lower end of the lifting assembly 9 and a third motor 107 that drives the lead screw 103 to rotate, and the third motor 107 is fixed on the mounting beam 14.

[0040] Specifically, a lead screw nut seat 101 is provided inside the lower end of the second longitudinal rod 94 in the middle position. A first slider 102 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second longitudinal rod 94 and slidably connected to the second slide rail 15. A through lead screw 103 is provided at both ends of the lead screw nut seat 101. The two ends of the lead screw 103 are rotatably connected to the side support 105. An n-shaped seat 104 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the side support 105. The n-shaped seat 104 is fixed to the mounting beam 174. A support block 106 is fixedly connected to the second slide rail 15. A third motor 107 connected to one end of the lead screw 103 is fixedly connected to the support block 106. A first slider 102 is provided at the bottom end of each of the three second longitudinal rods 94. Each first slider 102 is slidably connected to a second slide rail 15 of the same length on the mounting beam 14.

[0041] When the third motor 107 is started, the output shaft of the third motor 107 drives the lead screw 103 to rotate. Since the lead screw 103 meshes with the lead screw nut seat 101, the lead screw 103 drives the n-shaped seat 104 and the third motor 107 to move laterally. In turn, the n-shaped seat 104 drives the mounting beam 14 to move laterally, and the mounting beam 14 drives the second slide rail 15 to slide laterally along the first slider 102. Example

[0042] This embodiment is another implementation based on embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the structure of the movable support 6, the lifting component 9, the front and rear moving component 10, and the position of the first rack 7 are different.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the movable support 6 is a square steel, and the lifting assembly 9 includes a rectangular frame 912 sleeved on the movable support 6 and a longitudinal movement drive assembly for driving the rectangular frame 912 to move up and down. The rectangular frame 912 is slidably connected to the movable support 6, and a second rack 95 is provided on one longitudinal side wall of the rectangular frame 912.

[0044] Specifically, the rectangular frame 912 is installed perpendicularly to the movable bracket 6, the rectangular frame 912 is sleeved on the movable bracket 6, the longitudinal movement drive component is installed on the upper side of the movable bracket 6, and the left and right movement component 8 is installed on the lower side of the movable bracket 6.

[0045] In this embodiment, the structure of the left and right moving component 8 is the same as that of the left and right moving component 8 in embodiment 1. Since the left and right moving component 8 is installed on the lower side of the moving bracket 6 in this embodiment, the first rack 7 is installed on the lower side of the support rod 5. The first gear 82 of the left and right moving component 8 meshes with the lower side of the first gear 7. Similarly, in this embodiment, the upper side of the support rod 5 is provided with a third slide rail 16, and the moving bracket 6 is provided with a second slider 20 that matches the third slide rail 16.

[0046] In this embodiment, a first slide rail 93 is provided on the longitudinal inner side of the rectangular frame 912, and a third slider matching the first slide rail 93 is provided on the side of the movable bracket 6; a second rack 95 is provided on one of the longitudinal inner sides of the rectangular frame 912, and a fourth gear 96 at the end of the second connecting shaft 97 of the longitudinal movement drive assembly meshes with the second rack 95.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the forward and backward moving assembly 10 includes a fourth rack 108 fixed on the mounting beam 14, a seventh gear 109 meshing with the fourth rack 108, and a fourth motor 1010 driving the seventh gear 109 to rotate. The fourth motor 1010 is fixed at the lower end of the lifting assembly 9.

[0048] Specifically, two first sliders 102 are provided on one side of the bottom of each of the two rectangular frames 912, and two second slide rails 15 matching the first sliders 102 are provided on the lower side of each rectangular frame 912. There is one fourth rack 108, which corresponds to one of the rectangular frames 912. An L-plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rectangular frame 912 corresponding to the fourth rack 108. A fourth motor 1010 is fixedly connected to the L-plate. The output shaft of the fourth motor 1010 passes through the L-plate and connects to a seventh gear 109. The seventh gear 109 meshes with the fourth rack 108. When the fourth motor 1010 is started, the output end of the fourth motor 1010 drives the seventh gear 109 to rotate. The seventh gear 109 meshes with the fourth rack 108, thereby driving the suction cup assembly 11 to move left and right.

[0049] In a specific implementation of this utility model, cutting devices for sheet materials (such as KT board, laminated board, and cardboard) are set on the left and right sides of the cutting and feeding equipment. Each side of the cutting and feeding equipment is equipped with 1-2 sets of cutting devices. The first motor 85 of the left and right moving component 8, the second motor 910 of the longitudinal moving drive component, and the third motor 107 or fourth motor 1010 of the front and back moving component are all controlled by the same PLC control system as the cutting equipment and the equipment of the previous process on the cutting and feeding equipment. During operation, the left and right moving component 8, the lifting component 9, and the front and back moving component 10 cooperate with each other to drive the suction cup component to transfer the sheet materials alternately and reciprocally to the cutting equipment, thereby forming a fully automatic and uninterrupted feeding of sheet materials.
