AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During the production of tin cans, stacked square iron sheets are prone to misalignment due to left and right deviation during transportation, causing the iron sheets to bend when gripped by the gripping device, which affects the accuracy of the printing process.

Method used

Design a feeding and straightening device for tinplate can processing. By setting a support frame and a cylinder-driven T-shaped support plate on a roller conveyor, the T-shaped support plate slides relative to each other using the cooperation of gears and hollow plates, thereby squeezing the iron sheet inward and reducing offset and misalignment.

Benefits of technology

This effectively reduces the lateral offset of the metal sheet, ensuring that the gripping device can grip the metal sheet normally, avoiding bending, and improving the accuracy of the printing process.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metal processing technology, and in particular relates to a feeding and positioning device for tin can processing. Background Technology

[0002] Tin cans, also known as iron cans or tin boxes, are cans made of tinplate with a tin-plated surface. They are often printed with designs for attractive packaging and are also called printed tin cans. During the production of tin cans, the sheet metal is first cut into square pieces, then printed and packaged, and finally rolled into a cylindrical shape.

[0003] Before printing, the square iron sheets need to be gripped by a gripping device to the top of the stacked sheets. Then, the sheets are conveyed sequentially to the printing device for printing. However, during the conveying of the stacked sheets, some individual sheets at the top may shift or misalign due to stacking. To address this, a feeding and straightening device for tin can processing was designed. This device uses a counter-clamping method to push the stacked square iron sheets inward when conveying them on a roller conveyor, thereby reducing the risk of the sheets bending when gripped by the gripping device due to lateral shifting or misalignment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding and straightening device for tin can processing, which reduces the bending of the iron sheet when the gripping device grasps it due to the lateral displacement of the iron sheet, thereby solving the aforementioned technical problems.

The device includes: a support frame 2 mounted on the surface of a roller conveyor 1; a support plate 3 bolted to the top of the inner cavity of the support frame 2; a positioning seat 4 bolted to the bottom of the support plate 3; a gear 5 rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning seat 4; a hollow plate 6 meshing with the surface of the gear 5; guide rods 7 bolted to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the support plate 3; two T-shaped support plates 8 slidably connected to the support plate 3 via the two guide rods 7; the two T-shaped support plates 8 are located on the left and right sides of the bottom of the support plate 3, respectively; a connecting plate 9 rotatably connects the bottom of each T-shaped support plate 8 to the hollow plate 6; two vertical support plates 10 welded to the bottom of the T-shaped support plates 8; and a horizontal... A hollow box 12 is bolted to the bottom of the horizontal support plate 11. A roller 13 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the hollow box 12. A cylinder 14 is bolted to the top of the support plate 3. A guide limiting groove 15 is provided on the left side of the top of the support plate 3. A connector 16 is bolted to the output shaft of the cylinder 14. The surface of the connector 16 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide limiting groove 15. The bottom of the connector 16 passes through the guide limiting groove 15 to the bottom of the support plate 3 and is bolted to the T-shaped support plate 8 on the left. A reinforcing horizontal plate 17 is bolted between the two vertical support plates 10. The reinforcing horizontal plate 17 provides lateral support and reinforcement between the two vertical support plates 10, preventing them from tilting.

[0025] Example 2:

[0026] Figure 1-4This invention illustrates a feeding and positioning device for tin can processing according to an embodiment of the present invention. It includes: a support frame 2 mounted on the surface of a roller conveyor 1; a support plate 3 bolted to the top of the inner cavity of the support frame 2; a positioning seat 4 bolted to the bottom of the support plate 3; a gear 5 rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning seat 4; a hollow plate 6 meshing with the surface of the gear 5; guide rods 7 bolted to both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the support plate 3; two T-shaped support plates 8 slidably connected to the support plate 3 via the two guide rods 7; the two T-shaped support plates 8 are located on the left and right sides of the bottom of the support plate 3, respectively; a connecting plate 9 rotatably connected between the bottom of each T-shaped support plate 8 and the hollow plate 6; and welded to the bottom of the T-shaped support plates 8. Two vertical support plates 10 are connected to a horizontal support plate 11 at their bottoms. A hollow box 12 is bolted to the bottom of the horizontal support plate 11. A roller 13 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the hollow box 12. A reinforcing horizontal plate 17 is located at the top of the horizontal support plate 11. Reinforcing inclined plates 18 are welded between the opposite sides of the two hollow boxes 12 and the bottom of the horizontal support plate 11. The reinforcing inclined plates 18 provide oblique support to the hollow box 12, preventing it from bending when it presses the iron sheet. A belt conveyor 19 is installed on the right side of the roller conveyor 1. A gripping device 20 is installed between the roller conveyor 1 and the belt conveyor 19.

[0027] Working principle: When using this utility model, the user starts the roller conveyor 1 to transport the stacked iron sheets. When the conveyor reaches the bottom of the support plate 3, the cylinder 14 is activated to drive the connecting piece 16 to slide, which in turn pulls the left T-shaped support plate 8 to slide. At this time, under the action of the gear 5 and the hollow plate 6, the hollow plate 6 pulls the right T-shaped support plate 8 to slide synchronously through the connecting plate 9, so that the two T-shaped support plates 8 slide relative to each other. Then, the hollow box 12 squeezes the iron sheets inward. At this time, the function of the roller 13 is to ensure that the iron sheets can move normally when squeezing them, which can reduce the iron sheets from being misaligned in the left and right directions, thus preventing the iron sheets from bending when the gripping device 20 grabs them.

[0028] In summary, the feeding and straightening device for tin can processing uses the starting cylinder 14 to drive the T-shaped support plate 8 to slide. At this time, under the action of the gear 5 and the hollow plate 6, the two T-shaped support plates 8 slide relative to each other, which in turn causes the hollow box 12 to squeeze the iron sheet inward. This reduces the iron sheet from being misaligned in the left and right directions, thus preventing the iron sheet from bending when the gripping device 20 grips it.
