Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drawer panel processing technology, specifically relating to an automatic feeding and folding device for drawer frame panels. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are various types of cabinets on the market. Cabinets are mainly used for storage and can be applied in homes, offices, and for various equipment. Most existing cabinets have sliding drawers. A drawer typically consists of a drawer body made up of multiple panels and a drawer front panel. The drawer body is fixed to one side of the drawer front panel to form a structurally stable drawer.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned drawer body assembly process involves multiple processes such as cutting, grinding, polishing, coloring, and drilling. In addition, to ensure the accuracy and stability of the assembled drawer body, the dimensional accuracy requirements during the processing are relatively high.

[0004] like Figure 1 As shown, in the prior art, the frame structure of some drawer bodies is formed by folding a single piece of drawer frame material. The drawer frame material is divided into a central back panel 101 and two side panels 102. A triangular groove is provided between the back panel and the side panels to facilitate subsequent folding processing of the drawer frame material. However, because the drawer frame is processed from a single piece of material, the volume and weight of the material are relatively large. After the workers complete the grooving and gluing of the drawer frame material, the process of moving each piece of drawer frame material to the folding station is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0005] Meanwhile, to ensure the smooth insertion and assembly of the drawer bottom and front panel, as well as the successful pressing of the front panel, the drawer frame typically needs to be switched from a horizontal to a vertical position. This allows the machine to apply opposing forces to the back panel and front panel of the drawer frame during the folding process, thus pressing the drawer frame together. However, due to the large size of the drawer frame panels, the process of switching them from a horizontal to a vertical position is physically demanding for workers, which reduces the efficiency of drawer assembly to some extent. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an automatic feeding and folding device for drawer frame panels, which solves the technical problem that the entire drawer frame panel is difficult to handle during processing and easily leads to a reduction in the efficiency of drawer assembly.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0008] An automatic feeding and folding device for drawer frame panels includes a frame, a panel transfer assembly, and a panel folding assembly.

[0009] The sheet material transfer assembly includes a three-axis drive assembly and an adsorption-flipping assembly mounted on the moving end of the three-axis drive assembly. The adsorption-flipping assembly includes a mounting bracket, a flipping drive cylinder, a support bracket, and multiple gripping suction cups mounted on the support bracket. The mounting bracket is fixed to the moving end of the three-axis drive assembly, and its bottom is rotatably connected to the support bracket. The flipping drive cylinder is used to drive the support bracket to rotate around its rotation center.

[0010] The sheet metal folding assembly includes a folding drive and a folding push plate. The folding push plate is rotatably connected to the frame. The folding drive is used to drive the folding push plate to rotate and fold.

[0011] Furthermore, the tilting drive cylinder is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket via a connecting piece. The telescopic rod in the tilting drive cylinder is rotatably connected to the support bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the gripping suction cups are arranged in an array on the support bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, the sheet metal folding assembly also includes a support body. Folding push plates are rotatably connected to both sides of the support body.

[0014] Furthermore, the folding drive component employs a telescopic cylinder. The tail end of the telescopic cylinder is rotatably engaged with the main body of the support frame. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder is rotatably engaged with the folding push plate.

[0015] Furthermore, a positioning and adsorption assembly is installed in the middle of the main body of the support. The adsorption assembly includes multiple positioning suction cups.

[0016] Furthermore, the positioning suction cups are arranged in a matrix.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] This invention utilizes a three-axis drive assembly and an adsorption-flipping assembly mounted on the moving end of the three-axis drive assembly to adsorb drawer frame panels from an external production line. Simultaneously, a flipping drive cylinder in the adsorption-flipping assembly drives a support bracket to rotate around its center, causing the panel to flip from a horizontal to a vertical position. This, combined with a panel folding assembly, enables the transfer and folding of the integrated drawer frame panels. This automated processing of the drawer frame panels, along with the vertically shaped drawer frame facilitating subsequent pressing with the drawer panel, improves the processing efficiency of the drawer frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "one end", "the other end", "outer side", "upper side", "inner side", "horizontal", "coaxial", "center", "end", "length", "outer end", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, an automatic feeding and folding device for drawer frame panels 100 includes a frame 1, and a panel transfer assembly and a panel folding assembly 4 mounted on the frame 1. The panel transfer assembly includes a three-axis drive assembly 2 and a suction-and-flip assembly 3 mounted on the moving end of the three-axis drive assembly 2. The suction-and-flip assembly 3 can suction the drawer frame panels 100 from an external production line and flip them from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

[0028] like Figure 4 and 5As shown, the sheet metal folding assembly 4 includes a folding drive component 5 and a folding push plate 6. The folding push plate 6 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. Initially, the folding push plate 6 is in an outward-extended state. Specifically, the outer surface of the folding push plate 6 is parallel to the vertically positioned drawer frame sheet metal 100 gripped by the adsorption and flipping assembly 3. The folding drive component 5 drives the folding push plate 6 to fold 90°, thereby folding the side of the drawer frame sheet metal 100 after it has been adsorbed and flipped by the adsorption and flipping assembly 3, forming a U-shaped frame structure.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the adsorption and flipping assembly 3 includes a mounting bracket 7, a flipping drive cylinder 8, a support bracket 9, and multiple gripping suction cups 10 mounted on the support bracket 9. The mounting bracket 7 is fixed to the z-axis moving end of the three-axis drive assembly 2, and its bottom is rotatably connected to the support bracket 9. The flipping drive cylinder 8 is mounted on the mounting bracket 7, and its main body is rotatably engaged with the mounting bracket 7 via a connector. The outer end of the telescopic rod in the flipping drive cylinder 8 is rotatably connected to the support bracket 9.

[0030] Initially, the telescopic rod in the flip-drive cylinder 8 is extended, causing the support bracket 9 to flip downwards to its limit position under the action of the flip-drive cylinder 8. The suction ports of the gripping suction cups 10 mounted on the support bracket 9 face downwards, facilitating the adsorption of the drawer frame panels 100 from the external production line. When the drawer frame panels 100 are transferred to the station of the panel folding assembly 4 by the panel transfer assembly, the telescopic rod of the flip-drive cylinder 8 retracts inwards, thereby causing the support bracket 9 to flip upwards to its limit position. The drawer frame panels 100 adsorbed by the gripping suction cups 10 switch from a horizontal to a vertical state, facilitating subsequent folding processing by the panel folding assembly 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, the gripping suction cups 10 are arranged in an array on the support bracket 9.

[0032] Furthermore, the sheet metal folding assembly 4 also includes a support body 11. Folding push plates 6 are rotatably connected to both sides of the support body 11. The folding drive component 5 is a telescopic cylinder. The tail end of the telescopic cylinder is rotatably engaged with the support body 11. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder is hinged to the outer end of the folding push plate 6.

[0033] Initially, the telescopic end of the folding drive 5 is in a retracted state, and the folding drive 5, the bracket body 11, and the folding push plate 6 form a triangular structure. When the drawer frame plate 100 is transferred to the designated position by the plate transfer assembly, the telescopic end of the folding drive 5 gradually extends outward, driving the folding push plate 6 to flip around the rotating end, completing the flipping processing of the side stops 102 on both sides of the drawer frame plate 100.

[0034] Furthermore, a positioning adsorption component 12 is installed in the middle of the support body 11. When the transfer and flipping component transfers the vertical drawer frame plate 100 to the work station where the plate folding component 4 is located, it will be adsorbed by the positioning adsorption component 12.

[0035] In this embodiment, the adsorption assembly includes multiple positioning suction cups arranged in a matrix. Each positioning suction cup can adsorb the drawer frame plate 100 transported by the plate transfer assembly under the action of an external air source.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
