Description

A metal material storage and processing device that facilitates material handling. Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical engineering, and in particular to a metal material storage and processing device that facilitates material handling. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, the storage and retrieval of metal materials is a crucial link. With the continuous expansion of industrial production scale and the increasing demands for production efficiency, traditional methods of storing and retrieving metal materials have gradually revealed some problems.

[0003] Existing storage methods may lack a reasonable layout and material handling aids. Workers need to spend a lot of time searching for and moving metal materials when retrieving them, which slows down the production process and affects overall production efficiency. Frequent handling and improper operation during the material handling process may also lead to material deformation and damage, increasing production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of low material handling efficiency in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a metal material storage and processing device that facilitates material handling.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a metal material storage and processing device for easy material retrieval, including a material retrieval rack, which is divided into upper, middle and lower layers. Each layer is equipped with a sliding and pull-out tray for holding metal sheets. Isolation doors are rotatably connected to both sides of the material retrieval rack. Electric slide rails are symmetrically fixed to the top left and right sides of each layer of the material retrieval rack. A movable seat is slidably connected to each set of electric slide rails. An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the movable seat. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the electric push rod. Limit seats are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the mounting frame. One end of a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the mounting frame. A vacuum suction cup is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating rod. The top of the vacuum suction cup is provided with an interface for connecting an external vacuum pump. The electric push rod can adjust the height of the mounting frame so that the vacuum suction cup can fit against metal sheets of different thicknesses. The metal sheets are adsorbed and fixed by the vacuum suction cups on the left and right sides, and then the moving seat driven by the electric slide rails transports the metal sheets forward to complete the material retrieval.

[0006] As an improvement to the above solution, a chute is also included. Each material tray has a chute fixedly connected to its bottom. A receiving plate is slidably connected in the chute and is located at the bottom of the material tray. The top surface of the receiving plate is covered with a protective pad to protect the metal material from damage. When the metal sheet accidentally slips during the material handling process, the receiving plate can catch the sheet, and the protective pad prevents the sheet from being damaged by collision.

[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, a mounting base is also included. The top of both the left and right sides of the material picking rack are fixedly connected to the mounting base. A locking block is rotatably connected to the mounting base. When the isolation door is closed, the locking block is rotated to lock it into the slot on the edge of the isolation door, thereby locking the isolation door. To unlock, the locking block is rotated in the opposite direction.

[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, a telescopic pad is also included. Each set of electric slide rails is provided with a telescopic pad on the outside. One end of the telescopic pad is fixed to the material pick-up rack, and the other end of the telescopic pad is connected to the moving seat. When the moving seat slides, the telescopic pad extends and retracts synchronously with it, covering the exposed part of the electric slide rail and preventing dust from entering the inside of the rail.

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, an anti-slip mat is also included, wherein the movable seat is fixedly connected to the side facing the material picker to prevent the metal material from slipping out.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, a fixture is also included, wherein a fixture for fixing the vacuum pump air pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting frame facing away from the material picker.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The layered tray design of the material picking rack enables the classified storage of metal sheets, which facilitates quick positioning. The electric slide rail drives the moving seat to adjust the horizontal position of the vacuum suction cup, and the electric push rod adjusts the height of the suction cup. The limit seat restricts the rotation angle of the rotating rod. The vacuum suction cup automatically grabs the sheet metal, replacing the traditional manual handling, significantly improving the material picking efficiency and reducing the intensity of manual labor.

[0012] 2. Through the coordinated operation of electric slide rails and electric push rods, the vacuum suction cups are precisely positioned in both horizontal and vertical directions. Combined with the negative pressure adsorption of the vacuum suction cups, the metal sheets are ensured to move smoothly and without shaking during the transfer process. The anti-slip pads on the side of the moving seat abut against the side of the sheet to further prevent slippage and improve the safety of the transfer.

[0013] 3. The vacuum pump pipes are secured in an orderly manner by the pipe retainer set on the back of the mounting bracket, which avoids friction or entanglement between the pipes and moving parts, reduces the risk of pipe damage, ensures the long-term stable operation of the vacuum adsorption system, and improves the reliability of the device.

[0020] Example: A metal material storage and processing device for easy material retrieval, as shown in Figures 1-4, includes a material retrieval rack 1, an isolation door 2, an electric slide rail 3, a movable seat 4, an electric push rod 5, a mounting frame 6, a limiting seat 7, a rotating rod 8, and a vacuum suction cup 9. The material retrieval rack 1 is divided into upper, middle, and lower layers, each layer is equipped with a slidable and pull-out tray for holding metal sheets. The isolation door 2 is rotatably connected to both sides of the material retrieval rack 1. The electric slide rail 3 is symmetrically fixed to the top left and right sides of each layer of the material retrieval rack 1. The movable seat 4 is slidably connected to each set of electric slide rails 3. The electric push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 4. The mounting frame 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric push rod 5. The limiting seat 7 is fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting frame 6. One end of the rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 6, and the other end of the rotating rod 8 is fixedly connected to the vacuum suction cup 9. The top of the vacuum suction cup 9 is provided with an interface for connecting an external vacuum pump. The electric push rod 5 can adjust the height of the mounting frame 6 so that the vacuum suction cup 9 can fit metal plates of different thicknesses. It also includes a mounting base 13 and a locking block 14. The top and bottom of the left and right sides of the material picking rack 1 are fixedly connected to the mounting base 13. The locking block 14 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 13. When the isolation door 2 is closed, the locking block 14 is rotated to lock into the slot on the edge of the isolation door 2. It also includes an anti-slip pad 16. The side of the moving base 4 facing the material picking rack 1 is fixedly connected to the anti-slip pad 16 to prevent the metal material from slipping out.

[0021] Push the isolation door 2 outward to expose the material tray area inside the material picker 1. Rotate the locking blocks 14 on the top and bottom of the left and right sides of the material picker 1 to disengage them from the slots on the edge of the isolation door 2, locking the isolation door 2. Rotate the rotating rod 8 outward to make the vacuum suction cup 9 rotate around the mounting frame 6 and stop on the limiting seat 7 on the side near the material tray. According to the thickness of the metal sheet, start the electric push rod 5 to adjust the height of the mounting frame 6 so that the bottom surface of the vacuum suction cup 9 is in contact with the surface of the sheet. The external vacuum pump generates negative pressure through the top interface of the vacuum suction cup 9 to adsorb and fix the metal sheet, wherein the left and right sides The suction cups work synchronously to ensure uniform force. The electric slide rail 3 is activated to drive the moving seat 4 to slide forward, which in turn drives the mounting frame 6, the rotating rod 8, and the vacuum suction cup 9 to move synchronously, moving the adsorbed board horizontally from above the material tray. As the electric slide rail 3 moves, the telescopic pad 15 extends and retracts synchronously with the moving seat 4, covering the exposed part of the electric slide rail 3 to prevent dust and debris from entering the track and affecting the sliding accuracy. The anti-slip pad 16 on the side of the moving seat 4 abuts against the side of the board to prevent the board from slipping due to shaking during the conveying process. After the moving seat 4 slides to the designated unloading position, the vacuum pump negative pressure is turned off, and the board is released.

The receiving plate 11 is slidably connected within the chute 10 and is located at the bottom of the material tray. The top surface of the receiving plate 11 is covered by the protective pad 12, which is used to protect the metal material from damage. When the metal sheet accidentally slips during the material handling process, the receiving plate 11 can catch the sheet, and the protective pad 12 prevents the sheet from being damaged by collision.

[0023] To prevent the sheet metal from accidentally falling off during the material handling process due to its excessive weight, the receiving plate 11 located below the material tray can be pulled forward. At this time, the receiving plate 11 can support the sheet metal, and the protective pad 12 on its top surface cushions the impact, preventing the sheet metal from being deformed or scratched. After use, the receiving plate 11 can be pushed back into the material handling rack 1 along the slide groove 10 for storage, without occupying material handling space.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1, it also includes a telescopic pad 15. The telescopic pad 15 is provided on the outer side of each set of electric slide rails 3. One end of the telescopic pad 15 is fixed on the material pick-up rack 1, and the other end of the telescopic pad 15 is connected to the movable seat 4.

[0025] When the movable seat 4 slides, the dustproof pad extends and retracts synchronously with it, covering the exposed part of the electric slide rail 3 to prevent dust from entering the interior of the rail.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, the mounting bracket 6 also includes a fixture 17, which is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting bracket 6 facing away from the material handling rack 1 for fixing the vacuum pump pipe.

[0027] The clamp 17 can fix the vacuum pump air pipe, preventing the air pipe from getting tangled or worn, and ensuring the stable operation of the negative pressure system.
