Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile phone component transfer equipment, specifically an automatic board unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional sheet metal cutting processes, laminating machines are typically used for automated unloading to improve production efficiency. However, existing technologies have certain drawbacks, particularly in the unloading and stacking of sheet metal. Traditional cutting equipment often uses a "flying" method for unloading, which, while increasing output speed, introduces several problems. First, the position of the flying sheet metal is difficult to control, often resulting in uneven stacking and affecting subsequent processing steps. Second, during the flying process, especially at the edges and corners, the sheet metal is prone to collisions or friction with the equipment, causing scratches and damage, thus affecting product quality. These scratched sheets are often unusable, leading to significant material waste and increased production costs.

[0003] To improve the automation and stability of production lines, traditional blanking methods need to be improved, especially in terms of blanking accuracy and safety. While some equipment and methods exist to improve sheet metal blanking accuracy, they still struggle to effectively prevent scratches and displacement caused by the sheet metal during ejection, failing to guarantee product quality and production efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new blanking technology that can improve production efficiency while ensuring sheet metal integrity, reducing scrap rates, enhancing product quality, and guaranteeing the safety and stability of the blanking process.

[0004] A search revealed a Chinese patent document that discloses a coding device for processing mobile phone back covers [Application No.: 202420237765.6, Publication No.: CN222004773U]. This device includes a support frame, a transmission component on the top of the support frame, a coding component for coding mobile phone back covers on the right side of the transmission component, a feeding plate on the front of the transmission component, and a feeding component for unloading mobile phone back covers on the back. Although this device also has a feeding function, its structure is complex and its feeding efficiency is low, making it unsuitable for improving the automation level of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic sheet metal unloading device.

[0006] An automatic sheet metal unloading device, characterized in that it includes a frame, an unloading module, a positioning module, and a belt conveyor module;

[0007] The feeding module, positioning module, and belt conveyor module are all mounted on the frame;

[0008] The unloading module is installed on the upper part of the belt conveyor module, and the belt conveyor module is located in the middle of the positioning module.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding module includes rollers, a linear cylinder, a finger cylinder, a connecting rod, and baffles. Baffles are provided on both sides of the finger cylinder. The finger cylinder and the baffles are connected by a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is installed on the baffle, and the other end of the connecting rod is installed on the output end of the finger cylinder. The connecting rod can drive the baffles to move. Rollers are provided on the baffles.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the design of the unloading module not only improves the accuracy of the unloading process but also enhances the overall efficiency and stability of the equipment. When driven by the finger cylinder, the connecting rod can move the baffle, thereby achieving the positioning and unloading of the sheet metal. The rollers reduce the friction between the sheet metal and the baffle, ensuring smooth sliding of the sheet metal and preventing jamming. This structural design effectively reduces equipment maintenance costs and improves the operating efficiency of the production line. Especially when processing large batches of sheet metal, this design can significantly improve production speed and stability. In addition, the unloading module design has high adaptability, allowing for adjustments to the unloading action based on the size and material of different sheet metals. This automated control method not only reduces manual intervention and improves operational safety but also reduces the possibility of human error, ensuring the continuity and consistency of production. Therefore, this unloading module has significant application prospects in automated production lines, especially suitable for production environments with high precision requirements and large batch sizes.

[0011] Preferably, the rollers at the inlet of the baffle are driven by a motor.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the rollers at the baffle inlet are driven by a motor, improving the stability and efficiency of the feeding process. The motor-driven rollers provide stable and uniform power, ensuring that the sheet metal passes smoothly during feeding without jamming due to excessive or uneven friction. In conjunction with the finger cylinder and the baffle, the motor-driven rollers can control the feeding speed. Furthermore, the motor-driven design automates roller control, eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing the complexity and potential errors of manual operation. In addition, the motor-driven method offers high adjustability, allowing the drive speed to be adjusted according to different production needs to accommodate sheet metal of different specifications and materials.

[0013] Preferably, the inlet of the baffle is shaped like the number eight.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the figure-eight shaped design of the baffle inlet effectively guides the sheet metal into the unloading module, reducing resistance during entry. The figure-eight inlet allows the sheet metal to slide more smoothly into the unloading module, avoiding jamming or misalignment issues caused by straight inlets. As the sheet metal passes through the inlet, it naturally aligns with the unloading direction along the figure-eight curve, ensuring a smooth and efficient unloading process. Simultaneously, the figure-eight inlet design helps alleviate the pressure on the material entering the unloading module, avoiding localized pressure concentrations that can occur with traditional straight inlets, thus ensuring the integrity of the material during unloading. This design protects the sheet metal surface, especially when handling thin and fragile materials such as mobile phone back covers, effectively reducing the likelihood of damage.

[0015] Preferably, the working end of the linear cylinder is equipped with a roller, and the linear cylinder is driven by a sensor.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, after the sensor detects the material's position, the linear cylinder immediately applies work, pressing down on the material. At this time, the downward force of the linear cylinder, in conjunction with the rollers at the working end, ensures that the material enters the feeding module in a flat manner. The rollers adjust the material's state, ensuring stability during feeding and preventing skewing or tilting. Furthermore, the rollers also assist in fixing the material's position. When the material enters the feeding module, the rollers contact the material with slight pressure, stabilizing its position and preventing errors caused by material slippage or vibration, ensuring that the material accurately reaches the predetermined position.

[0017] Preferably, the positioning module includes a positioning rod and a support plate.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the design of the positioning rod and the support plate can effectively prevent the material from deflecting or shifting during the feeding process, ensuring the positioning of the sheet throughout the entire feeding process. When the material falls from above, the positioning rod guides the sheet along a predetermined trajectory through the structure, preventing the sheet from deviating or shifting due to gravity or other external factors.

[0019] Preferably, the top of the positioning rod is conical.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the conical design at the top of the positioning rod effectively prevents the material from colliding or rubbing against the positioning rod during the feeding process, thereby avoiding scratches on the sheet metal by the top of the positioning rod. The conical design results in a smaller contact area for the positioning rod, allowing the sheet metal to pass smoothly through the positioning rod without being damaged by sharp edges.

[0021] Preferably, the belt conveyor module is equipped with a movement direction arrow.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, the movement direction arrows clearly indicate the working direction of the belt conveyor module, helping operators and maintenance personnel to more intuitively understand the equipment's operating status. The arrow markings clearly show the belt's conveying direction, thus preventing material backflow or transmission abnormalities caused by incorrect direction during operation or maintenance, ensuring that materials are smoothly conveyed in the correct direction.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0024] 1. This automatic sheet metal unloading equipment, through its unloading module design, effectively improves production efficiency and unloading accuracy. The unloading module, through the coordinated operation of finger cylinders and baffles, ensures controllable sheet metal unloading, avoiding problems such as sheet metal misalignment or uneven stacking common in traditional methods. The positioning module ensures that the material does not deflect or shift during its descent, greatly improving the stability of the production process. The equipment has a high degree of automation, reducing manual intervention and improving the continuity and efficiency of the production line, enabling the equipment to maintain high-efficiency operation in high-volume production environments.

[0025] 2. This automatic sheet metal unloading equipment replaces the original flying-out mode with a controlled falling method. Combined with finger-operated cylinders driving the baffle, it guides the sheet metal to fall smoothly, avoiding collisions and slippage. Simultaneously, the rollers on the baffle work in conjunction with the positioning module to further reduce friction and impact, effectively preventing scratches and misalignment of the sheet metal during the unloading process. This improvement significantly increases the sheet metal yield, ensures product quality, and enhances the safety and stability of the production process. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0032] An automatic sheet metal unloading device, characterized in that it includes a frame, an unloading module, a positioning module, and a belt conveyor module;

[0033] The feeding module, positioning module, and belt conveyor module are all mounted on the frame;

[0034] The unloading module is installed on the upper part of the belt conveyor module, and the belt conveyor module is located in the middle of the positioning module.

[0035] Specifically, the feeding module includes rollers, linear cylinders, finger cylinders, connecting rods, and baffles. Baffles are provided on both sides of the finger cylinders. The finger cylinders and baffles are connected by connecting rods. One end of the connecting rod is installed on the baffle, and the other end of the connecting rod is installed on the output end of the finger cylinder. The connecting rod can drive the baffles to move. Rollers are provided on the baffles.

[0036] Existing workpiece unloading systems typically rely on laminating machines for automatic unloading. While this method improves production efficiency, it presents several problems. First, after exiting the laminating machine, the sheet metal often stacks irregularly, making subsequent processing difficult. More seriously, the sheet metal is prone to collisions with surrounding objects during its ejection, especially its edges, which can scratch the sheet metal below. This not only affects the quality of the lower sheet metal but may also render the scratched sheet metal unusable, resulting in material waste and increased production costs. To address this issue, the automatic sheet metal unloading device proposed in this invention effectively solves the shortcomings of existing technologies. Through the unloading module, it ensures that each sheet metal falls smoothly and accurately, avoiding the problem of irregular stacking during ejection. The baffle in the unloading module, in conjunction with the action of the finger cylinder, controls the movement trajectory of the sheet metal, allowing it to fall smoothly and orderly without flying out or colliding with other objects. In addition, the rollers on the baffle reduce friction between the sheet and the baffle, further reducing the risk of scratches or damage. This design not only solves the problem of scratches on the edges of the sheet during the traditional cutting process, but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of cutting, ensuring that each sheet can be placed safely and neatly, thereby reducing the occurrence of scrapped sheets and improving the overall quality of the product and the economic benefits of production.

[0037] Specifically, the rollers at the inlet of the baffle are driven by a motor.

[0038] Through the above technical solution, the rollers at the baffle inlet are driven by a motor, improving the stability and efficiency of the unloading process. The motor-driven rollers provide stable and uniform power, ensuring smooth passage of the sheet metal during unloading without jamming due to excessive or uneven friction. In conjunction with the finger cylinder and baffle, the motor-driven rollers control the unloading speed. Furthermore, the motor-driven design automates roller control, eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing the complexity and potential errors of manual operation. In addition, the motor-driven method offers high adjustability, allowing the drive speed to be adjusted according to different production needs to accommodate sheet metal of different specifications and materials. This design improves the automation level of the equipment and the continuity of the production line, reducing the risk of equipment failure or production interruption due to manual operation, and ensuring the stability and safety of the production process. The coordinated operation of the motor-driven rollers with other modules allows the entire unloading equipment to maximize its advantages in a high-efficiency, large-scale production environment.

[0039] Specifically, the baffle inlet is V-shaped. This V-shaped design effectively guides the sheet metal into the unloading module, reducing resistance during entry. The V-shaped inlet allows the sheet metal to slide more smoothly into the unloading module, avoiding jamming or misalignment issues caused by a straight inlet. As the sheet metal passes through the inlet, it naturally aligns with the unloading direction along the V-shaped curve, ensuring a smooth and efficient unloading process. Simultaneously, the V-shaped inlet design helps alleviate the pressure on the material entering the unloading module, avoiding localized pressure concentrations that can occur with traditional straight inlets, thus ensuring the integrity of the material during unloading. This design protects the sheet metal surface, especially when handling thin and fragile materials like mobile phone back covers, effectively reducing the chance of damage. The V-shaped inlet also extends the lifespan of both materials and equipment. The material passes through the module more smoothly, reducing wear and damage caused by friction and impact, thereby reducing waste and maintenance costs in the production process.

[0040] Specifically, the linear cylinder has rollers at its working end. Driven by a sensor, the linear cylinder first detects the material's position, then applies pressure, pressing down on the material. The downward force of the linear cylinder, combined with the rollers at the working end, ensures the material enters the feeding module in a flat position. The rollers adjust the material's state, ensuring stability during feeding and preventing skewing or tilting. Furthermore, the rollers help fix the material's position. When the material enters the feeding module, the rollers contact it with slight pressure, stabilizing its position and preventing errors caused by material slippage or vibration, ensuring the material accurately reaches the predetermined location. This design improves feeding accuracy and stability, ensuring smooth and consistent feeding, thereby increasing overall production efficiency and reducing sheet metal damage or scrap.

[0041] Specifically, the positioning module includes a positioning rod and a support plate. The design of the positioning rod and support plate effectively prevents material deflection or displacement during the feeding process, ensuring the sheet metal's positioning throughout the entire feeding process. When the material falls from above, the positioning rod guides the sheet metal along a predetermined trajectory, preventing deviation or deflection due to gravity or other external factors. This design significantly improves the accuracy and stability of feeding, ensuring each sheet metal reaches its designated position and reducing production problems caused by improper positioning, such as uneven stacking, scratches, or damage. Through the guiding action of the positioning module, the equipment can achieve an automated and continuous feeding process, improving production efficiency while ensuring product quality stability.

[0042] Specifically, the top of the positioning rod is conical. This conical design effectively prevents the material from colliding or rubbing against the positioning rod during the feeding process, thus avoiding scratches on the sheet metal. The conical design also reduces the contact area of ​​the positioning rod, allowing the sheet metal to pass smoothly through it without being damaged by sharp edges. One of the purposes of this structural design is to ensure that the material is not subjected to any additional damage during feeding. This is especially important in automated equipment where the surface quality of the sheet metal is crucial. By avoiding direct friction with the positioning rod, scratches and other problems can be reduced, thereby improving the product yield and reducing the scrap rate.

[0043] Specifically, the belt conveyor module is equipped with directional arrows. These arrows clearly indicate the working direction of the belt conveyor module, helping operators and maintenance personnel to more intuitively understand the equipment's operating status. The arrow markings clearly show the conveying direction of the belt, thus preventing material backflow or transmission abnormalities caused by incorrect direction during operation or maintenance. This ensures that materials are transported smoothly in the correct direction, improving equipment efficiency and safety. For operators, being able to promptly confirm the material flow direction facilitates better material receiving, scheduling, and distribution. During equipment maintenance, clear arrow markings also reduce the occurrence of misoperations, lower the risk of equipment failure, and improve the overall operational stability of the equipment. This design not only optimizes the user experience but also ensures efficient and smooth production processes.
