Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of partition production technology, specifically a metal strip feeding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In industries such as electronics, communications, and automobiles, partition plates are critical components, and the conveying process during their production is of paramount importance. Traditional partition plate conveying methods often rely on rollers, chains, etc., but these methods have several shortcomings, specifically:
[0003] Roller conveyors are prone to scratches or indentations on the surface of the partition plates, affecting their appearance and functionality. Chain conveyors, on the other hand, may experience damage or misalignment due to impact or vibration during transport caused by chain wear, loosening, or excessive gaps between chains. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a metal strip feeding mechanism that solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a metal strip feeding mechanism, comprising:
[0006] A conveyor track, the upper part of which is covered with a metal strip;
[0007] A conveying drive device is installed on the upper part of the conveying track. The conveying drive device is capable of pulling the metal strip and moving intermittently inside the conveying track at fixed distances each time.
[0008] Furthermore, the conveying drive device includes an active traction module and a driven traction module installed on the upper part of the conveying track. The active traction module and the driven traction module are connected by a linkage rod. Each time the active traction module pulls the metal strip, the driven traction module can pull synchronously through the linkage rod.
[0009] Furthermore, the active traction module includes a first linear guide rail installed on the upper part of the conveying track. A first slide block is slidably connected to the upper part of the first linear guide rail. Active traction rods are symmetrically arranged inside the first slide block. The top end of the active traction rod extends to the top of the first slide block and is connected to a first lifting seat. The first lifting seat and the active traction rod as a whole can be raised and lowered synchronously relative to the first slide block.
[0010] Furthermore, the active traction module also includes a traction drive cylinder installed on the upper part of the conveying track and a first lifting drive cylinder installed on the upper part of the first slide block. The extension and retraction end of the traction drive cylinder is connected to the first slide block, and the extension and retraction end of the first lifting drive cylinder is connected to the first lifting block.
[0011] Furthermore, the driven traction module includes a second linear guide rail installed on the upper part of the conveying track. A second slide block is slidably connected to the upper part of the second linear guide rail. A second lifting drive cylinder is installed on the upper part of the second slide block. The telescopic end of the second lifting drive cylinder is connected to a second lifting seat. A driven traction rod is connected to the bottom of the second lifting seat. The bottom end of the driven traction rod extends to the bottom of the second slide block.
[0012] Furthermore, several reserved holes are provided on both sides of the metal strip, and the reserved holes are evenly distributed in a linear pattern.
[0013] This utility model provides a metal strip feeding mechanism. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0014] The metal strip feeding mechanism features a conveying drive unit where the active and driven traction modules are connected by a linkage rod, achieving synchronized operation and ensuring the stability of the partition plates during conveying. This design prevents damage to the partition plates due to bending, twisting, or vibration, thus guaranteeing product quality. Furthermore, the small and uniform contact area between the conveying mechanism and the metal strip (i.e., the strip containing the partition plates) reduces scratches and indentations, further improving product quality.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a metal strip feeding mechanism, mainly composed of a conveying track 1 and a conveying drive device 2. The conveyed metal strip 3 is laid flat inside the conveying track 1, meaning the conveying track 1 serves as a support and guide structure for the metal strip 3, ensuring its smooth movement. The conveying drive device 2 is installed on the upper part of the conveying track 1. Several pre-drilled holes 31 are provided on both sides of the metal strip 3. These pre-drilled holes 31 are evenly distributed in a linear pattern and are used to cooperate with the conveying drive device 2 to achieve the pulling and positioning of the metal strip. The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0024] The conveying drive device 2 is the core component of the feeding mechanism, including an active traction module 21 and a driven traction module 22, which are connected by a linkage rod 23 to achieve synchronous operation;
[0025] The active traction module 21 mainly consists of a first linear guide rail 211, a first slide block 212, a first lifting drive cylinder 216, a first lifting seat 214, and an active traction rod 215. The first linear guide rail 211 is installed on the upper part of the conveying track 1, providing a sliding track for the first slide block 212. The first slide block 212 slides on the first linear guide rail 211, realizing horizontal movement.
[0026] When the active traction module 21 is working, the first lifting drive cylinder 216 is activated, and its telescopic end is connected to the first lifting seat 214, driving the first lifting seat 214 and the active traction rod 215 to descend synchronously. After descending, the active traction rod 215 will be inserted into a corresponding reserved hole 31. Then, the traction drive cylinder 213 extends, pushing the first slide 212 to slide on the first linear guide rail 211. During the sliding process, combined with the engagement of the active traction rod 215 with the reserved hole 31, the entire metal strip 3 can be moved. The distance of each movement is fixed (there are several partitions connected in series in the metal strip 3, and the distance of each movement is the width of one partition). After the movement, the active traction rod 215 rises and disengages from the reserved hole 31, and the first slide 212 resets. This cycle is repeated to realize the traction of the metal strip 3.
[0027] The driven traction module 22 mainly consists of a second linear guide rail 221, a second slide block 222, a second lifting drive cylinder 223, a second lifting seat 224, and a driven traction rod 225. The second linear guide rail 221 is also installed on the upper part of the conveying track 1 to provide a sliding track for the second slide block 222;
[0028] When the driven traction module 22 is working, the linkage rod 23 connects the first slide 212 and the second slide 222. First, the second lifting drive cylinder 223 pushes the second lifting seat 224 and the driven traction rod 225 to move down as a whole. Similarly, the driven traction rod 225 is inserted into a corresponding reserved hole 31. Then, as the first slide 212 slides as mentioned above, the second slide 222 will also slide under the action of the linkage rod 23. This allows the active traction module 21 and the driven traction module 22 to pull the metal strip 3 synchronously. (Because the metal strip 3 is very long, if there is only a single traction point in the active traction module 21, the part of the metal strip 3 far from the traction point will be easily bent. That is, during the conveying process, a certain section of the entire metal strip 3 will bulge, causing damage to the metal strip 3.)
