Description

An automatic loading and unloading device for metal sheets with visual monitoring Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automated equipment for metal sheet processing, and specifically relates to an automatic loading and unloading device for metal sheets with visual monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] Metal sheet loading and unloading devices are key equipment in industrial automation for the efficient handling and positioning of metal sheets. They are currently widely used in automobile manufacturing, home appliance industry, sheet metal workshops and aerospace, significantly improving production cycle time and automation level, and have become one of the core components of intelligent factory logistics systems.

[0003] Traditional equipment mainly relies on mechanical limiters or simple photoelectric sensors for positioning, which makes it difficult to accurately identify the actual position and posture of the board. Especially for boards with dimensional deviations or surface warping, the grasping deviation often occurs, resulting in a decrease in subsequent processing accuracy. This positioning method not only has poor adaptability, but also cannot detect the placement status of the board in real time, which seriously restricts the operating efficiency and processing quality of automated production lines. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic loading and unloading device for metal sheets with visual monitoring, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0026] Example

[0027] Referring to Figures 1-4, an embodiment of this utility model is provided, which offers an automatic loading and unloading device for metal sheets with visual monitoring, comprising:

[0028] The material handling mechanism 100 includes a support foot 101, a support frame 102 fixedly installed at the end of the support foot 101, a placement plate 103 fixedly installed on the side wall of the support frame 102, a first transport box 104 fixedly installed at the end of the support frame 102, a second transport box 105 adapted to be installed at the end of the first transport box 104, a mounting block 106 adapted to be installed on the side wall of the second transport box 105, a pick-and-place cylinder 107 fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting block 106, and a suction cup 108 fixedly installed at the end of the pick-and-place cylinder 107.

[0029] The feeding mechanism 200 includes a feeding frame 201 fixedly installed on the side wall of the support frame 102, a first drive motor 202 fixedly installed on the top of the feeding frame, a first lead screw 203 fixedly installed on the output end of the first drive motor 202, and a clamping assembly 204 disposed on the surface of the first lead screw 203.

[0030] The unloading mechanism 300 includes an unloading frame 301 fixedly installed on the surface of the support frame 102, a limiting rod 302 fixedly installed on the side wall of the unloading frame 301, a second drive motor 303 adapted to be installed on the side wall of the unloading frame 301, a second lead screw 304 fixedly installed on the output end of the second drive motor 303, and a bearing assembly 305 disposed on the surface of the second lead screw 304.

[0031] Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LU camera is fixedly installed at the bottom of mounting block 106, which facilitates the detection of the specifications and surface defects of metal plates and the sorting of defective plates.

[0032] Specifically, the clamping assembly 204 includes a movable seat 204a threadedly connected to the surface of the first lead screw 203, a support platform 204b fixedly installed on the side wall of the movable seat 204a, and a buckle 204c snapped onto the side wall of the support platform 204b. The clamping assembly 204 also includes a clamping cylinder 204d fixedly connected to the side wall of the buckle 204c, a top plate 204e fixedly installed on the side wall of the clamping cylinder 204d, and a first rack 204f fixedly installed on the side wall of the top plate 204e. The clamping assembly 204 also includes a first moving motor 204g adapted to be installed on the side wall of the loading rack 201, and a first gear 204h fixedly installed on the output end of the first moving motor 204g.

[0033] Furthermore, the first gear 204h meshes with the first rack 204f, and the surface of the top plate 204e is slidably connected to the side wall of the loading rack 201. When the first moving motor 204g is driven, it will drive the first rack 204f to move back and forth, and the first rack 204f will drive the top plate 204e to move.

[0034] Preferably, the carrying assembly 305 includes a transport seat 305a threadedly connected to the surface of the second lead screw 304, and a carrying plate 305b fixedly installed on the side wall of the transport seat 305a. The carrying assembly 305 also includes a second moving motor 305c adapted to be installed on the side wall of the unloading rack 301, a second gear 305d fixedly installed on the output end of the second moving motor 305c, and a second rack 305e meshing with the surface of the second gear 305d. The carrying assembly 305 also includes a transmission plate 305f fixedly installed on the side wall of the second rack 305e, a telescopic cylinder 305g fixedly installed on the inner wall of the unloading rack 301, and a clamping cylinder 305h fixedly installed on the end of the telescopic cylinder 305g.

[0035] It should be noted that the clamping cylinder 305h is designed to facilitate the clamping of the sheet metal from the placement plate 103 onto the support plate 305b. It is also used in conjunction with the telescopic cylinder 305g to facilitate the unloading of the sheet metal.

[0036] In use, the first drive motor 202 is started, which drives the first lead screw 203 to rotate. The lead screw 203 drives the moving seat 204a to move up and down, placing the metal plate on the support platform 204b. The clamping cylinder 204d operates, cooperating with the top plate 204e to clamp the plate. The first moving motor 204g operates, driving the first gear 204h to rotate. The first gear 204h drives the first rack 204f, which drives the top plate 204e to move away from the plate. The clamping cylinder 204d retracts, and the first moving motor 204g reverses, driving the top plate 204e to move in the opposite direction. The end of the top plate 204e pushes the uppermost plate to move, pushing the plate onto the placement plate 103. After detection by the camera, the first transport box 104 drives the second transport box 105 to move. The second transport box 105 drives the pick-and-place cylinder 107 on the mounting block 106 to move, picking up and releasing air. Cylinder 107 drives suction cup 108 to move. After suction cup 108 picks up the board, it drives second transport box 105 via first transport box 104, which in turn drives pick-and-place cylinder 107 to move and place the board. During unloading, first transport box 104 drives second transport box 105 to move, which in turn drives suction cup 108 to pick up the board and place it on placement plate 103. Second moving motor 305c drives second rack 305e to move. Second rack 305e drives transmission plate 305f to move. After second transmission plate 305f moves above the board, telescopic cylinder 305g extends, driving clamping cylinder 305h to move downward. Clamping cylinder 305h extends and retracts to hold the board. Second moving motor 305c brings transmission plate 305f back to its original position and places the board on support plate 305b. Second drive motor 303 runs, driving transport seat 305a to move downward. When it moves to the bottom, support plate 305b can be removed, completing the unloading.

[0037] In summary, through the coordinated operation of the picking mechanism 100, the loading mechanism 200, and the unloading mechanism 300, automated loading and unloading and precise sorting of metal sheets are achieved. In the picking mechanism 100, the support frame 102, together with the first transport box 104 and the second transport box 105, forms a linkage mechanism that, in conjunction with the Hikvision camera at the bottom of the mounting block 106, can detect the sheet specifications and surface defects in real time. Simultaneously, the suction cup 108, driven by the picking and placing cylinder 107, precisely adsorbs the sheet. Combined with the movement of the transport boxes, this achieves the positioning and transfer of qualified sheets and the automatic screening of defective sheets, improving sorting accuracy and efficiency. The loading mechanism 200, driven by the first lead screw 203, has a moving seat... 204a is linked with clamping cylinder 204d, and together with the first gear 204h rack and pinion drive, drives the top plate 204e to reciprocate, realizing automatic clamping and precise pushing of the plate to the placement plate 103, ensuring the stability and continuity of the feeding process. The unloading mechanism 300 uses the second lead screw 304 to drive the transport seat 305a, which works in conjunction with the telescopic cylinder 305g and the clamping cylinder 305h. The clamping position is controlled by the second gear 305d rack and pinion drive, which efficiently transfers the inspected plate to the bearing plate 305b and completes the unloading. The overall structure is compact and reliable in operation, which greatly reduces the need for manual intervention and is suitable for high-precision and high-efficiency metal plate processing production lines.
