Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation, and in particular to a mechanism for transverse movement of sheet metal in the depth direction. Background Technology
[0002] In automated sheet metal forming lines in the bathroom industry, most bathroom wall panels are assembled by interlocking a front panel and a back panel, while floor panels are assembled by interlocking a base plate and a back panel. Based on the demands of the bathing market, a bathroom's four walls are typically constructed from multiple wall panels, and the floor from multiple floor panels, with the final floor material selected based on specific needs. Due to space constraints, the height of the wall and floor panels ranges from 1000-3000mm, and the width from 198-1200mm. Before interlocking the front and back panels, the four corners need to be bent. Because the back panel requires two bends on each side in the width direction, the sheet metal bending mechanism uses a combination of a moving blade and a pressure blade to achieve the bending function. The pressure blade and a backing plate clamp the sheet metal, and the moving blade moves along the center of the pressure blade tip to bend the sheet metal. After the first bend, the positions of the moving and pressure blades must be adjusted before a second bend can be performed. For small-sized panels and back panels, bending can be performed simultaneously on both sides in the width direction. However, due to the size limitations of the bending mechanism and the inability to avoid the pressure knives on both sides, bending can only be performed on one side. Therefore, in order to meet the forming requirements of sheet metal lines in the bathroom industry, a transverse movement and conveying process is needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a transverse conveying mechanism for sheet metal in the depth direction, which can transverse the sheet metal to the other side, so that the other side can be bent at the bending station, which can meet the forming of small-sized bathroom sheet metal. The design structure is ingenious, and the production is fully flexible and cost-saving.

[0006] The frame is symmetrically equipped with fixed brush plate assemblies on its left and right sides;
[0007] The frame is equipped with a pulley frame, which includes a pulley assembly, a drive shaft, and a geared motor assembly.
[0008] Several pulley assemblies are spaced apart and connected to each other by a drive shaft. A geared motor assembly is connected to the drive shaft, which drives the drive shaft to rotate, thereby causing the belt of the pulley assembly to rotate, thus achieving the function of conveying the sheet material.
[0009] The lifting brush plate assembly includes a frame beam, a brush plate, a hinge mechanism, and a cylinder assembly;
[0010] One end of the cylinder assembly is connected to the frame beam;
[0011] The frame beams are bolted to the machine frame via a hinge mechanism, and several brush plates are spaced apart.

[0014] The geared motor assembly and cylinder assembly are controlled by a PLC.
[0015] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, a cylinder support is also installed on the bed;
[0016] The other end of the cylinder assembly is connected to the cylinder support.
[0017] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the cylinder assembly includes: a cylinder rear support, a cylinder double lug, a cylinder, a cylinder connector, a second bearing support, a rotating shaft, a second spacer, and a cylindrical roller bearing. The cylinder rear support is screwed onto the cylinder support and connected to the hinge shaft in the cylinder double lug. The cylinder is screwed onto the cylinder double lug and the cylinder connector. The cylinder connector is connected to the second bearing support via the rotating shaft. The second spacer and the cylindrical roller bearing are mounted on the rotating shaft. The second bearing support is screwed onto the frame beam.

The hinge plate is connected by two hinge shafts, the card is screwed onto the hinge plate, the first bearing support is screwed onto the frame and the frame beam respectively, and the first spacer and the bearing are connected by the hinge shaft.
[0020] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the interval between the two brush plates is greater than the width of the pulley assembly.
[0021] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the plurality of pulley assemblies are arranged at equal intervals.
[0022] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, after the brush plate descends, its height is lower than that of the pulley assembly.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the transverse movement mechanism for sheet metal in the depth direction of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0024] (1) The lifting brush plate assembly conveys the material plate to the pulley frame by moving up and down, and uses the rotation of the pulley to convey the material plate from one end to the other end;
[0025] (2) It is combined with a single-sided bending mechanism. After the material plate is bent on one side, it is transferred to the other side for bending through this mechanism, which meets the forming of small-sized bathroom sheet metal. The design structure is ingenious, and the production is fully flexible and cost-saving.
[0026] (3) This organization has achieved automatic control and has high production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0036] To further understand this utility model, the embodiments of this utility model are described below in conjunction with examples. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of this utility model, and not for limiting this utility model.
[0037] An embodiment of this utility model discloses a transverse movement mechanism for sheet metal in the depth direction, such as... Figures 1-8 As shown, it includes:
[0038] A frame 2 is installed on the bed 1, along with a fixed brush plate assembly 5 and a cylinder support 6.
[0039] The frame 2 is equipped with a pulley frame 3, which includes a pulley assembly 7, a drive shaft 8, and a geared motor assembly 9.
[0040] Several pulley assemblies 7 are arranged at equal intervals and connected to each other by a drive shaft 8. A geared motor assembly 9 is connected to the drive shaft 8 and drives the drive shaft 8 to rotate, thereby causing the belt of the pulley assembly 7 to rotate, so as to achieve the function of conveying the sheet material.
[0041] The frame 2 is symmetrically equipped with fixed brush plate assemblies 5 on the left and right sides;
[0042] The lifting brush plate assembly 4 includes a frame beam 10, a brush plate 11, a hinge mechanism 12, and a cylinder assembly 13;
[0043] One end of the cylinder assembly 13 is connected to the frame beam 10, and the other end is connected to the cylinder support 6;
[0044] The cylinder assembly 13 includes: a cylinder rear support 20, a cylinder double lug 21, a cylinder 22, a cylinder connector 23, a second bearing support 24, a rotating shaft 25, a second spacer 26, and a cylindrical roller bearing 27. The cylinder rear support 20 is screwed onto the cylinder support 6 and connected to the hinge shaft in the cylinder double lug 21. The cylinder 22 is screwed onto the cylinder double lug 21 and the cylinder connector 23. The cylinder connector 23 is connected to the second bearing support 24 via the rotating shaft 24. The second spacer 26 and the cylindrical roller bearing 27 are mounted on the rotating shaft 25. The second bearing support 24 is screwed onto the frame beam 10.
[0045] The brush plate 11 is connected to the frame beam 10 via a hinge mechanism 12, and the bottom surface of the brush plate 11 is connected to the hinge structure 12.
[0046] The hinge mechanism 12 includes a hinge plate 14, a card 15, a first bearing support 16, a first spacer 17, a hinge shaft 18, and a bearing 19. The hinge plate 14 is connected by two hinge shafts 18. The card 15 is screwed onto the hinge plate 14. The first bearing support 16 is screwed onto the frame 2 and the frame beam 10 respectively. The first spacer 17 and the bearing 19 are connected by the hinge shaft 18.
[0047] The cylinder 22 extends and retracts, pushing the frame beam 10 to drive the brush plate 11 to rise and fall. Because the hinge mechanism 12 is screwed to the frame beam 10, the brush plate 11 maintains a horizontal arc for rising and falling.
[0048] After the brush plate 11 descends, its height is lower than that of the pulley assembly 7;
[0049] The frame beam 10 is screwed onto the frame 2 via a hinge mechanism 12. Several brush plates 11 are spaced apart, and the gap between two brush plates 11 is greater than the width of the pulley assembly 7.
[0050] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 Before the workpiece enters the mechanism, the cylinder rod of the start cylinder 22 extends and pushes the frame beam 10, which is screwed to its second bearing support 26, thereby driving the brush plate 11, which is screwed to the frame beam 10, to rise to the same height as the production line, waiting for the plate to enter the station.
[0051] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 8 The bathroom color steel back panel needs to be transported from the previous station to this mechanism via servo clamps. After entering this mechanism, the positioning component on the servo clamps pushes the panel horizontally. The cylinder rod of the start cylinder 21 retracts, thereby causing the brush plate 11, which is screwed to the frame beam 10, to fall 25mm below the line height. When the panel falls to the pulley frame 3, the detection switch on it detects the panel, and the reduction motor assembly 9 starts, driving the transmission shaft 8 to rotate, thereby causing the pulley assembly 7 to rotate. Its belt transports the panel from one side to the other side. After detecting that the panel is in place, the servo clamp on the other side positions itself and grabs the panel to the bending station on the other side.
