[0024] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation, connection, and linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a steel sheet feeding device, including: a base 100, a rotating mechanism 110 connected to a turntable 120, the turntable 120 having multiple workstations for transferring steel sheets; a carrying mechanism disposed on one side of the turntable 120 for carrying a tray containing steel sheets; a picking mechanism 300 disposed between the turntable 120 and the carrying mechanism for picking up steel sheets from the carrying mechanism and placing them on the workstations; a processing mechanism 400 disposed on one side of the turntable 120 for picking up steel sheets from the workstations for processing; and a control mechanism 500 including a sensor and a controller, the sensor for sensing the status of the steel sheets on the carrying mechanism and outputting a sensing signal, the sensor being connected to the carrying mechanism and the picking mechanism 300 respectively, and the controller being connected to the sensor, the rotating mechanism 110, the carrying mechanism, the picking mechanism 300, and the processing mechanism 400 respectively.

[0026] A pallet containing steel sheets is placed on a carrying mechanism. The steel sheets are then picked up by a picking mechanism 300 and transferred to a workstation on a turntable 120 for further processing. The processing mechanism 400 then picks up the steel sheets from the workstation for processing. Once all the steel sheets on the pallet have been removed, a sensor outputs a signal, causing the picking mechanism 300 to return to its initial position after the last steel sheet has been transported. At this point, the operator can replace the pallet, and the picking mechanism 300 can continue picking up and placing steel sheets. Simultaneously, because the turntable 120 still holds excess steel sheets during pallet replacement, the processing mechanism 400 can continue operating, ensuring continuous operation without downtime and improving efficiency.

[0027] The controller is equipped with an operation panel for inputting information such as the production batch number of the steel sheets or controlling the start and stop of the equipment. Specifically, a pallet containing steel sheets is placed on the supporting mechanism, and then the production batch number of the steel sheets is input through the operation panel to start the equipment for loading the steel sheets. Furthermore, the controller is equipped with a storage module that can store the initially input production batch number of the steel sheets, so that subsequent pallet changes do not require re-entering the production batch number of the steel sheets, allowing for direct loading without re-entering the information, simplifying operation and improving work efficiency.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The supporting mechanism includes a lifting assembly 210 and a supporting platform 220. The lifting assembly 210 is mounted on the machine base 100, and the supporting platform 220 is mounted on the lifting assembly 210. The lifting assembly 210 drives the supporting platform 220 to move up and down. The lifting assembly 210 moves the supporting platform 220 to a corresponding height, facilitating the material handling mechanism 300 to retrieve the steel sheets from the supporting platform 220. The lifting assembly 210 is configured as a lifting cylinder, with its extension and retraction ends connected to the supporting platform 220. The lifting cylinder drives the supporting platform 220 to move, achieving the lifting and lowering of the supporting platform 220. The structure is simple and the operation is stable.

[0029] Furthermore, the supporting mechanism also includes a feeding platform 230 and a feeding assembly 240. The feeding platform 230 is located on one side of the supporting platform 220, and the feeding assembly 240 is located between the feeding platform 230 and the supporting platform 220. The feeding assembly 240 is connected to a sensor and a controller, respectively. The feeding assembly 240 is used to pick up the pallet on the supporting platform 220 and transport it to the feeding platform 230. Specifically, when the steel sheet on the pallet is completely removed, the sensor outputs a sensing signal, causing the picking mechanism 300 to return to its initial position after transporting the last steel sheet. At the same time, the feeding assembly 240 moves to pick up the pallet on the supporting platform 220 and transport it to the feeding platform 230. Subsequently, the loading assembly operates to pick up the pallet on the loading platform 610 and transport it to the supporting platform 220. By adopting the above structure, automatic pallet unloading can be achieved without manual operation, improving work efficiency.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the steel sheet feeding device further includes a feeding mechanism, which includes a feeding platform 610 and a feeding assembly. The feeding platform 610 is disposed on one side of the carrying mechanism, and the feeding assembly is disposed between the feeding platform 610 and the carrying mechanism. The feeding assembly is connected to a sensor and a controller, respectively, and is used to pick up the pallet on the feeding platform 610 and transport it to the carrying mechanism. Specifically, when the steel sheet on the pallet is completely removed, the sensor outputs a sensing signal, causing the picking mechanism 300 to return to its initial position after transporting the last steel sheet. At the same time, the feeding assembly operates to pick up the pallet on the feeding platform 610 and transport it to the carrying platform 220, so that the picking mechanism 300 can pick up the material again. By adopting the above structure, automatic pallet changing can be achieved without manual operation, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.

[0031] The feeding assembly includes a first horizontal moving assembly 620, a first vertical moving assembly 630, and a first clamping assembly 640. The first horizontal moving assembly 620 is positioned between the feeding platform 610 and the carrying mechanism, the first vertical moving assembly 630 is positioned above the first horizontal moving assembly 620, and the first clamping assembly 640 is positioned above the first vertical moving assembly 630. The first horizontal moving assembly 620 drives the first vertical moving assembly 630 to move, positioning the first clamping assembly 640 above the feeding platform 610 and allowing it to pick up the pallet under the action of the first vertical moving assembly 630. Subsequently, the first clamping assembly 640, in cooperation with the first horizontal moving assembly 620 and the first vertical moving assembly 630, transports the pallet to the carrying platform 220, thereby achieving automatic pallet changing. This design is simple in structure, easy to operate, and improves work efficiency.

[0032] As can be conceived, the rotating mechanism 110 includes a rotating shaft and a rotating drive component. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the base 100, the turntable 120 is connected to the rotating shaft, and the rotating drive component is connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating drive component is a motor. The rotating drive component drives the rotating shaft to rotate, causing the rotating shaft to drive the turntable 120 to rotate, thereby realizing the transfer of steel sheets. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0033] It is easy to understand that the material handling mechanism 300 includes a second horizontal moving component 310, a second vertical moving component 320, and a second clamping component 330. The second horizontal moving component 310 is disposed between the bearing mechanism and the turntable 120, the second vertical moving component 320 is disposed above the second horizontal moving component 310, and the second clamping component 330 is disposed above the second vertical moving component 320. Specifically, the second horizontal moving component 310 drives the second vertical moving component 320 to move, so that the second clamping component 330 is positioned above the bearing platform 220 and picks up the steel sheet under the action of the second vertical moving component 320. Subsequently, the second clamping component 330, under the combined action of the second horizontal moving component 310 and the second vertical moving component 320, conveys the steel sheet to the bearing turntable 120, thereby realizing automatic material handling of the steel sheet. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the work efficiency is improved.

[0034] In this embodiment, the processing mechanism 400 is provided with a third clamping assembly 410, which is used to pick up the steel sheet on the turntable 120 for processing. The steel sheet on the turntable 120 is picked up by the third clamping assembly 410 to facilitate subsequent production processing. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
