Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stacking device technology, and more specifically, to a thin plate stacking device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern industry, aluminum has been widely used in construction, transportation, electronics, packaging, and other fields due to its advantages such as light weight, corrosion resistance, and high recyclability. The processing of aluminum coils typically includes unwinding, leveling, and shearing. After the cutting process, the resulting aluminum sheets need to be stacked in a certain quantity and order to facilitate subsequent handling, packaging, or further processing.

[0003] Currently, after aluminum sheets are cut, their stacking is mostly done manually. Traditional manual stacking is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also requires repeated adjustments to ensure neat stacking due to the thinness and susceptibility of the aluminum sheets to deformation. This slows down the overall production pace and affects the automation level and efficiency of the entire production line. Furthermore, manual operation poses certain safety hazards, easily leading to injuries or inconsistent product quality due to improper handling.

[0004] Although there are some mechanized or semi-automated devices for conveying and stacking metal sheets in the existing technology, the following problems still exist: the aluminum sheets are not stacked neatly, and they are not well protected when impacted, making them prone to stacking deformation. Furthermore, the stacked aluminum sheets are prone to scattering during transportation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a thin plate stacking device that can neatly stack aluminum sheets and protect the stacked aluminum sheets to prevent them from deforming or scattering.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A thin plate stacking device includes a transfer mechanism and a stacking mechanism. The transfer mechanism includes a support frame and a vacuum suction cup movably mounted on the support frame. The stacking mechanism includes a base, a stacking platform, and a movable plate. The stacking platform is connected to the base via a support rod. A gear is provided between the stacking platform and the base, and the gear is rotatably connected to the base. The movable plate is provided on both sides of the gear. A rack is provided on the inner side of the movable plate, and the rack meshes with the gear. Multiple limiting plates are provided on the movable plate, and the limiting plates are distributed around the stacking platform.

[0008] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided on the inner top surface of the support frame, and a screw is rotatably installed in the sliding groove. One end of the screw passes through the support frame and is connected to a motor. A slider is threaded to the outside of the screw, and an electric telescopic rod is provided at the bottom of the slider. The driving end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the vacuum suction cup.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the vacuum suction cup is provided with several suction nozzles, which are connected to the vacuum generator.

[0010] Furthermore, a second motor is provided inside the base, and the output end of the second motor is connected to a rotating shaft, which is fixedly connected to the gear.

[0011] Furthermore, the base is provided with a slide rail, and the movable plate is movably connected to the slide rail.

[0012] Furthermore, the movable plate is L-shaped, and the movable plate is provided with limiting plates in both the horizontal and vertical directions, and the movable plate moves along the length direction of the stacking platform.

[0013] Furthermore, the stacking platform includes a main platform and an extension platform, with the extension platform slidably connected to both ends of the main platform, and the sliding direction of the extension platform being parallel to the moving direction of the movable plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the limiting plate located in the telescopic direction of the extension platform is fixedly connected to the extension platform.

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention utilizes vacuum suction cups for transferring and stacking aluminum sheets, improving stacking efficiency. A stacking platform supports the aluminum sheets, and multiple limiting plates further restrict their movement, ensuring neat stacking. This provides impact protection, preventing deformation of the stacked structure, and facilitates subsequent loading and transportation, preventing scattering. Gear rotation drives a rack and pinion, which in turn moves movable plates in opposite directions, adjusting the stacking space to accommodate aluminum sheets of different sizes.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a thin plate stacking device, including a transfer mechanism and a stacking mechanism. The transfer mechanism includes a support frame 1 and a vacuum suction cup 2 movably mounted on the support frame 1. The stacking mechanism includes a base 3, a stacking platform 4, and a movable plate 5. The stacking platform 4 is connected to the base 3 via a support rod 17. A gear 15 is provided between the stacking platform 4 and the base 3, and the gear 15 is rotatably connected to the base 3. The movable plate 5 is provided on both sides of the gear 15. A rack 14 is provided on the inner side of the movable plate 5, and the rack 14 meshes with the gear 15. A plurality of limiting plates 6 are provided on the movable plate 5, and the limiting plates 6 are distributed around the stacking platform 4.

[0030] Vacuum suction cups 2 are used to transfer and stack aluminum sheets, improving stacking efficiency. A stacking platform 4 supports the aluminum sheets, and multiple limiting plates 6 further restrict their movement, ensuring neat stacking. This provides impact protection, preventing deformation of the stacked structure, and facilitates subsequent loading and transportation, preventing scattering. Gear 15 rotates, driving rack 14 to move, which in turn moves movable plates 5. The movable plates 5 on both sides of gear 15 move in opposite directions, adjusting the length of the stacking space to accommodate aluminum sheets of different sizes. During stacking, the inner side of the limiting plates 6 remains in contact with the outer periphery of the aluminum sheets.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a groove 7 is formed on the inner top surface of the support frame 1. A screw 8 is rotatably installed in the groove 7. One end of the screw 8 passes through the support frame 1 and is connected to a motor 11. A slider 9 is threaded onto the outer side of the screw 8. An electric telescopic rod 10 is provided at the bottom of the slider 9. The driving end of the electric telescopic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the vacuum suction cup 2. The motor 11 drives the screw 8 to rotate, causing the slider 9 to move along the length of the screw 8, thereby moving the vacuum suction cup 2. The height of the vacuum suction cup 2 is then adjusted by the electric telescopic rod 10, allowing the vacuum suction cup 2 to adsorb the cut aluminum sheet.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the vacuum suction cup 2 is provided with a plurality of suction nozzles 12, and the suction nozzles 12 are connected to a vacuum generator.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a second motor 18 is disposed within the base 3, and the output end of the second motor 18 is connected to a rotating shaft 16, which is fixedly connected to the gear 15. The first motor 11 and the screw 8, and the second motor 18 and the rotating shaft 16 are all connected via couplings, and the rotating shaft 16 and the gear 15 are connected via bearings.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a slide rail 13 is provided on the base 1, and the movable plate 5 is movably connected to the slide rail 13. The slide rail 13 can improve the stability of the movable plate 5 when it moves.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the movable plate 5 is L-shaped, and the movable plate 5 is provided with limiting plates 6 in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The movable plate 5 moves along the length direction of the stacking platform 4.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the stacking platform 4 includes a main platform 41 and an extension platform 42. The extension platforms 42 are slidably fitted onto both ends of the main platform 41, and the sliding direction of the extension platforms 42 is parallel to the moving direction of the movable plate 5. The extension platforms 42 and the main platform 41 work together to adjust the length of the stacking platform 4, facilitating the stacking of aluminum sheets of different lengths.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting plate 6 located in the telescopic direction of the extension platform 42 is fixedly connected to the extension platform 42. When the movable plate 5 moves, it can drive the extension platform 42 to slide on the main platform 41, thereby achieving rapid adjustment of the stacking platform 4.

[0038] The working principle of a thin plate stacking device is as follows: First, the device is placed at the desired working position. Motor 11 drives screw 8 to rotate, causing slider 9 to move along the length of screw 8, simultaneously driving electric telescopic rod 10 and vacuum suction cup 2 to move. Then, electric telescopic rod 10 drives vacuum suction cup 2 to descend, allowing vacuum suction cup 2 to adsorb aluminum sheets at the output end of the conveyor belt. Then, motor 11 reverses, causing vacuum suction cup 2 to move towards stacking platform 4. Electric telescopic rod 10 then uses the aluminum sheets adsorbed by vacuum suction cup 2 to be placed on the surface of stacking platform 4, allowing the aluminum sheets to de-adsorb. Vacuum suction cup 2 reciprocates, realizing the stacking of aluminum sheets. Stacking platform 4 supports the aluminum sheets, and multiple limiting plates 6 limit the aluminum sheets, ensuring that the aluminum sheets are stacked neatly.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
