Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for plate processing, and more specifically, to a novel pad block arrangement device. Background Technology

[0002] For the surface treatment needs of custom furniture panel materials such as cabinet doors and sliding doors, vacuum forming and lamination technology can form a high-precision coating on the substrate surface through the heating and plasticizing of thermoplastic plastic rolls (such as PVC, PE, PP, PET, HIPS, etc.). This process can not only give products decorative effects such as wood grain and stone grain, but also significantly improve waterproof and moisture-proof performance, making it one of the core technologies in high-end custom furniture manufacturing.

[0003] During the vacuum forming process, to ensure the integrity of the film covering the four sides and corners of the panel, a support structure of a specific height needs to be set under the panel to allow space for the shrinkage of the plastic film. However, due to the significant differences in the size and contour of the panels in custom furniture (such as irregularly shaped door panels, curved sliding doors, etc.), the raised structure needs to be dynamically adapted according to the geometric characteristics of each panel.

[0004] Traditionally, the fabrication of support structures relies heavily on manual arrangement. Workers must manually calculate the placement of the pads and temporarily assemble the support structure, resulting in poor arrangement accuracy and time-consuming changeovers. While automated pad placement equipment has been developed, placing the pads onto the pads according to a pattern to form the support structure, existing equipment lacks precise control and adjustment during pad loading and transport. This leads to inconsistent distances between pads, and in some cases, pads are transported close together. This method easily causes physical collisions between adjacent pads, disrupting the arrangement of the upper pads. Furthermore, subsequent automated processes require sufficient space; insufficient distance between pads results in limited operating space, hindering the automated equipment's operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the existing technology and provide a new type of pad arrangement equipment. This equipment can realize position and angle adjustment during the pad transmission process, so that the distance between the front and rear pads is increased to avoid physical collisions between the pads, leaving enough mechanical operation space for automated operation of the equipment, and also ensuring vertical feeding of the pads to improve the quality of the arrangement process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a novel pad arrangement device, comprising:

[0007] A pad conveyor line used to transport pads;

[0008] A pad block dispensing device used to store pad blocks and feed them one by one;

[0009] A pad conveyor line used to transport pad blocks;

[0010] And a pad feeding device for conveying pads in a horizontal line above the pad conveyor line and pushing the pads onto the pads;

[0011] The left and right edges of the pad conveyor line are respectively provided with pad distribution devices for blocking or releasing pads on the pad conveyor line and positioning the front end of the pads, thereby separating the front and rear pads on the pad conveyor line and feeding the pads vertically.

[0012] The working principle of this utility model equipment is as follows: First, the layout pattern information of the pads and pad blocks to be processed is obtained; then, the pad conveyor line transports the pads; the pad sorting device blocks the next pad, separating it from the previous pad by a certain distance before releasing and positioning it.

[0013] The pad block feeding device and pad block conveyor line feed the pad blocks; the position of each pad block on the pad plate is calculated according to the set layout pattern, and the pad plate is transported to the corresponding laying area according to the conveying speed of the pad plate conveyor line; the pad block unloading device arranges the pad blocks horizontally above the pad plate conveyor line, and pushes the corresponding pad blocks onto the pad plate according to the pad block layout pattern; after completion, the pad block unloading device conveys the pad blocks to replenish the positions where the pushed pad blocks were placed. The pad plate conveyor line moves the pad plate forward a certain distance, so that the pad block placement area of ​​the next row of pad blocks is directly opposite the pad block unloading device's pad block pushing position, and then the pad block unloading device pushes the corresponding pad blocks onto the pad plate according to the pad block layout pattern; this process is repeated until the pad block layout pattern is completed.

[0014] This invention utilizes a pad-separating device to block the pads. The blocking time is determined by combining the conveyor speed of the pad conveyor line with the required interval distance. When the blocking time is reached, the pads are released, thus separating the front and rear pads at a predetermined distance, preventing physical collisions and providing sufficient mechanical operating space for automated operation. This facilitates manual pad loading, eliminating the need for manual separation of the front and rear pads, increasing loading efficiency and saving labor costs. Furthermore, the pad-separating device can position the front end of the pad and adjust its angle to ensure the pad is perpendicular to the conveying direction, guaranteeing vertical feeding.

[0015] Preferably, the pad material distribution device includes a material distribution fixing frame, a material blocking block for blocking the corner of the pad, a material blocking lifting mechanism, a material sorting block for blocking the front edge of the pad, and a material sorting lifting mechanism one; the material blocking block is connected to the material distribution fixing frame through the material blocking lifting mechanism to achieve lifting; the material sorting block is connected to the material distribution fixing frame through the material sorting lifting mechanism one to achieve lifting.

[0016] Since the front and rear pads may be conveyed forward with their ends touching the ground, the pad distribution device of this utility model first uses a blocking block to position the corner of the pad, which solves the technical problem that the blocking block cannot be inserted into the middle edge of the pad, ensuring that the rear pad is blocked and the front and rear pads are separated. However, since the chamfer is not flat, it is easy to have positioning errors. Therefore, this utility model also uses a material guide block to position the front end of the pad, ensuring that the pad can be fed vertically.

[0017] Preferably, the corners of the pad are chamfered; the blocking block has an acute angle facing the center of the pad conveyor line; the sorting block has a sorting surface perpendicular to the conveying direction of the pad conveyor line; and the sorting block is located in front of the blocking block in the conveying direction of the pad conveyor line.

[0018] Preferably, the pad material distribution device is symmetrically arranged on the left and right edges of the pad conveyor line; the left and right sides of the pad conveyor line are respectively equipped with abutments, and the distance between the abutments on both sides matches the width of the pad; the material distribution fixing frame is also equipped with a detection module for detecting whether the pad has reached the bottom.

[0019] Preferably, the pad material feeding device includes a guide trough, a feeding device, a feeding component, and a sorting component; the guide trough is connected to the pad material conveying line; the guide trough has an opening at its starting end; the feeding device corresponds to the position of the opening; the side wall of the guide trough has a feeding port; the feeding component and the sorting component correspond to the positions of the feeding port, respectively.

[0020] Preferably, the feeding device includes a power roller, a power mechanism for driving the power roller to rotate, and a pressure roller; the power roller protrudes upward from the opening of the guide groove; the pressure roller is positioned opposite the power roller and has a gap for the pad blocks to pass through. This feeding device only needs to be installed at the starting end. The power roller and pressure roller apply friction to the pad blocks, causing the contacted pad blocks to move; the pad blocks at the starting end provide power to move all the pad blocks tightly together along the guide groove forward. The guide groove is thin, thus reducing the drop difference between the pad blocks and the pad plate, reducing the positional offset during the drop process, thereby making the shape of the pad block arrangement more accurate.

[0021] Preferably, the pressure roller is mounted on the elastic device to ensure that the same pressure is applied to each pad, thereby ensuring that the pads receive the same frictional force.

[0022] Preferably, the feeding component includes several feeding units arranged side by side; each feeding unit includes a feeding pushing mechanism and a pushing frame; the pushing frame is connected to the feeding pushing mechanism to achieve reciprocating movement perpendicular to the length direction of the guide groove; a feeding stop is provided on the side of the pushing frame away from the feeding pushing mechanism to limit the displacement of the pad block. This feeding component can push the pad block onto the pad plate.

[0023] Preferably, the material handling component includes a material handling stop for positioning the pad block and a second material handling lifting mechanism; the material handling stop is connected to the second material handling lifting mechanism to achieve lifting. When it is detected that the pad block needs to be released, the second material handling lifting mechanism lowers the material handling stop closer to the pad plate on the pad plate conveyor line; the cutting surface of the material handling stop in the horizontal direction where the pad block is located is U-shaped; then the material release component pushes the pad block out of the guide groove, so that the pad block is suspended in the air and falls smoothly onto the pad plate. After the pad block reaches the predetermined position, the material release component resets, and the second material handling lifting mechanism drives the material handling stop to reset.

[0024] Preferably, the end of the feed trough is provided with a baffle structure.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. This utility model device can separate the front and rear pads by a set interval distance to avoid physical collision between the pads, leaving enough mechanical operation space for automated operation of the equipment; it is convenient for workers to load the pads, eliminating the need for manual separation of the front and rear pads by a specific distance, which can speed up loading efficiency and save labor costs; by positioning the front end of the pad and adjusting the angle of the pad, the pad can be made perpendicular to the conveying direction, ensuring vertical feeding of the pad;

[0027] 2. The pad material distribution device of this utility model first uses a blocking block to position the corner of the pad, which solves the technical problem that the blocking block cannot be inserted into the middle edge of the pad, ensuring that the rear pad is blocked and the distance between the front and rear pads is increased; it also uses a material sorting block to position the front end of the pad, ensuring that the pad can be fed vertically.

[0028] 3. The pad material feeding device of this utility model can reduce the falling height of the pad, thereby reducing the positional deviation of the pad during the falling process, thus making the shape of the pad arrangement more accurate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] Example

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, this embodiment of a novel pad block arrangement device includes:

[0038] A pad conveyor line 1 for conveying pad 6;

[0039] A pad block distribution device 3 for storing pad blocks 7 and feeding pad blocks 7 one by one;

[0040] The pad conveyor line 4 is used to convey the pad 7;

[0041] And a pad feeding device 5 for conveying the pad 7 horizontally above the pad conveyor line 1 and pushing the pad 7 onto the pad 6.

[0042] The pad conveyor line 1, the pad block distribution device 3, and the pad block conveyor line 4 can all adopt existing technologies.

[0043] The left and right sides of the pad conveyor line 1 are equipped with a stop 101, and the distance between the two stops 101 is matched with the width of the pad.

[0044] The left and right edges of the pad conveyor line 1 are symmetrically equipped with pad separating devices 2 for blocking or releasing pads 6 on the pad conveyor line 1 and positioning the front end of the pads 6, thereby separating the front and rear pads 6 on the pad conveyor line 1 and feeding the pads 6 vertically. The pad separating device 2 is equipped with a detection module 202 for detecting whether the pad has reached the bottom.

[0045] The working principle of this utility model equipment is as follows: First, the arrangement pattern information of the pads and pad blocks to be processed is obtained; then, the pad conveyor line 1 conveys the pads; the pad sorting device 2 releases the current pad to be processed; when the detection module detects that the next pad has reached the bottom, the next pad is blocked, so that it is separated from the current pad to be processed by a certain distance before being released and positioned.

[0046] The pad block feeding device 3 and the pad block conveyor line 4 feed the pad blocks; the position of each pad block on the pad plate is calculated according to the set layout pattern, and the pad plate is conveyed to the corresponding laying area according to the conveying speed of the pad plate conveyor line 1; the pad block unloading device 5 arranges the pad blocks horizontally above the pad plate conveyor line 1, and pushes the corresponding pad blocks onto the pad plate according to the pad block layout pattern; after completion, the pad block unloading device 5 conveys the pad blocks to replenish the pad blocks at the positions where the pushed pad blocks were placed. The pad plate conveyor line 1 moves the pad plate forward a certain distance so that the pad block placement area of ​​the next row of pad blocks is directly opposite the pad block unloading device 5's pad block pushing position, and then the pad block unloading device 5 pushes the corresponding pad blocks onto the pad plate according to the pad block layout pattern; this process is repeated until the pad block layout pattern is completed.

[0047] The pad material distribution device 2 includes a material distribution fixing frame 201, a material blocking block 204 for blocking the corner of the pad, a material blocking lifting mechanism 203, a material sorting block 206 for blocking the front edge of the pad, and a material sorting lifting mechanism 205. The material blocking block 204 is connected to the material distribution fixing frame 201 through the material blocking lifting mechanism 203 to achieve lifting; the material sorting block 206 is connected to the material distribution fixing frame 201 through the material sorting lifting mechanism 205 to achieve lifting. Both the material blocking lifting mechanism and the material sorting lifting mechanism 205 can adopt existing technologies, such as cylinders.

[0048] The corners of the pad 6 are chamfered; the blocking block 204 has an acute angle 2041 facing the center of the pad conveyor line 1; the sorting block 206 has a sorting surface perpendicular to the conveying direction of the pad conveyor line 1; the sorting block 206 is located in front of the blocking block 204 in the conveying direction of the pad conveyor line 1. The acute angle 2041 can be engaged between the chamfers of two pads to ensure the blocking of the next pad.

[0049] This invention utilizes a pad distribution device 2 to block the pads. The blocking time is determined by combining the transmission speed of the pad conveyor line 1 and the required interval distance. When the blocking time is reached, the pads are released, thus separating the front and rear pads at a predetermined interval, preventing physical collisions between the pads, and providing sufficient mechanical operating space for automated operation. This facilitates manual pad loading, eliminating the need for workers to manually separate the front and rear pads, thus increasing loading efficiency and saving labor costs. Furthermore, the pad distribution device 2 can position the front end of the pad and adjust its angle to ensure the pad is perpendicular to the conveying direction, guaranteeing vertical feeding.

[0050] Since the front and rear pads may be conveyed forward with their ends touching the ground, the pad distribution device 2 of this utility model first uses a blocking block 204 to position the corner of the pad, which solves the technical problem that the blocking block 204 cannot be inserted into the middle edge of the pad, ensuring that the rear pad is blocked and the front and rear pads are separated. However, since the chamfer is not flat, it is easy to have positioning errors. Therefore, this utility model also uses a material handling block 206 to position the front end of the pad, ensuring that the pad can be fed vertically.

[0051] The block feeding device 5 includes a guide trough 501, a feeding device 502, a feeding component 503, and a sorting component 504. The guide trough 501 is connected to the block conveyor line 4. The guide trough 501 has an opening at its starting end. The feeding device 502 corresponds to the opening. The side wall of the guide trough 501 has a feeding port. The feeding component 503 and the sorting component 504 correspond to the feeding port. The guide trough 501 has a baffle structure 5011 at its end.

[0052] The feeding device 502 includes a power roller 5022, a power mechanism 5021 for driving the power roller 5022 to rotate, and a pressure roller 5023. The power roller 5022 protrudes upward from the opening of the guide groove 501. The pressure roller 5023 is positioned opposite the power roller 5022 and has a gap for the pad blocks to pass through. The pressure roller 5023 is mounted on an elastic device to ensure that the pressure applied to each pad block is the same, thereby ensuring that the pad blocks receive the same frictional force. This feeding device 502 only needs to be set at the starting end. The power roller 5022 and the pressure roller 5023 apply frictional force to the pad blocks, causing the contacted pad blocks to move. The pad blocks at the starting end provide power to move all the pad blocks tightly together and forward along the guide groove. The guide groove is thin, thus reducing the drop difference between the pad blocks and the pad plate from the guide groove, reducing the positional offset during the drop process from the guide groove to the pad plate, thereby making the shape of the pad block arrangement more accurate. The pad blocks only need to be pushed in one stage, simplifying the device structure.

[0053] The feeding component 503 includes several feeding units arranged side by side; each feeding unit includes a feeding pushing mechanism 5031 and a pusher frame 5033; the pusher frame 5033 is connected to the feeding pushing mechanism 5031 to achieve reciprocating movement perpendicular to the length direction of the guide groove 501; a feeding stop 5032 for limiting the displacement of the pad block is provided on the side of the pusher frame 5033 away from the feeding pushing mechanism 5031. The feeding component 503 can push the pad block onto the pad plate.

[0054] The material handling component 504 includes a material handling stop 5042 for positioning the pad block and a material handling lifting mechanism 5041. The material handling stop 5042 is connected to the material handling lifting mechanism 5041 to achieve lifting. When it is detected that the pad block needs to be released, the material handling lifting mechanism 5041 lowers the material handling stop 5042 close to the pad plate on the pad plate conveyor line 1. The cutting surface of the material handling stop 5042 in the horizontal direction where the pad block is located is U-shaped. Then, the material release component 503 pushes the pad block out of the guide groove, so that the pad block is suspended in the air and falls smoothly onto the pad plate. After the pad block reaches the predetermined position, the material release component 503 resets, and the material handling lifting mechanism 5041 drives the material handling stop 5042 to reset.
