Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aviation sheet metal processing and transfer technology, specifically to a transfer device for aviation sheet metal processing. Background Technology

[0002] Sheet metal parts are products manufactured using sheet metal processing techniques. We rely on sheet metal parts everywhere in our lives. Sheet metal parts are characterized by their light weight, high strength, and good mass production performance. They are widely used in fields such as electronics, communications, automotive, aerospace, and medical devices. When processing aerospace sheet metal parts, transfer equipment is required for their transport.

[0003] Transfer equipment can be used to transfer aerospace sheet metal parts that are to be processed. However, aerospace sheet metal parts have extremely complex shapes, with irregular curved surfaces and multiple bends. Existing transfer equipment is designed as a conventional flat surface, which makes it difficult to fit the complex shape of aerospace sheet metal parts during transfer. This causes the sheet metal parts to shake, shift, or even fall during transfer, which is not conducive to personnel use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a transfer device for processing aerospace sheet metal parts, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a transfer device for processing aerospace sheet metal parts, comprising a transfer body; a lifting mechanism is installed above the transfer body, a support plate is installed at the moving end of the lifting mechanism, a moving mechanism is installed inside the support plate, a transfer plate is installed on the outside of the moving mechanism, multiple sets of airbag blocks are installed inside the transfer plate, a rubber sleeve is installed at the moving end of the airbag block, a pressure sensor is installed at the top of the rubber sleeve, and a fixing mechanism is installed on the outside of the transfer plate.

[0006] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes first support rods disposed on both sides above the transfer body, the bottom end of the first support rods being rotatably connected to the transfer body, the top end of the first support rods being rotatably connected to a support plate, a second support rod being installed crosswise on one side of the first support rods, the bottom end of the second support rods being installed inside the transfer body with a drive assembly, and the top end of the second support rods being rotatably connected to the support plate.

[0007] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a limiting groove disposed inside the support plate, a transmission mechanism is installed inside the limiting groove, and a transfer plate is connected to the outside of the transmission mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the support plate is equipped with two sets of suction cup structures, which are symmetrically arranged.

[0009] Preferably, the transfer plate has movable grooves inside both ends, and a limit plate is installed inside the movable grooves through a coil spring structure.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes storage seats disposed on both sides of the transfer plate, and the storage seats are equipped with Velcro straps.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This utility model uses a transfer plate, an airbag block, a rubber sleeve, and a pressure sensor in combination. The pressure sensor senses the pressure distribution of the aerospace sheet metal parts in real time. The device controls the inflation and deflation of the airbag block based on the data, so that the rubber sleeve fits tightly against the irregular surface of the aerospace sheet metal parts. At the same time, it can support the weak or suspended parts of the aerospace sheet metal parts, ensuring the stability of the sheet metal parts during the transfer process, facilitating the subsequent transfer of the parts by the device, and thus benefiting the use by personnel.

[0013] 2. This utility model uses a combination of limiting plates, a storage base, and Velcro straps. The two sets of limiting plates can limit the movement of the aircraft sheet metal parts during transportation, preventing them from slipping and causing damage. By pulling out the Velcro straps inside the storage base, the Velcro straps on both sides of the transfer plate can be attracted to each other, which can further fix the aircraft sheet metal parts on the transfer plate, thereby ensuring the stability of the aircraft sheet metal parts during transportation.

[0019] 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.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments;

[0021] Example:

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 4 Please refer to the transfer equipment for processing aerospace sheet metal parts provided in this application. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The system includes a transfer body 1; a lifting mechanism 2 is installed above the transfer body 1; a support plate 3 is installed at the moving end of the lifting mechanism 2; a moving mechanism 4 is installed inside the support plate 3; a transfer plate 5 is installed on the outside of the moving mechanism 4; multiple sets of airbag blocks 501 are installed inside the transfer plate 5; a rubber sleeve 502 is installed at the moving end of the airbag block 501; a pressure sensor 503 is installed at the top of the rubber sleeve 502; and a fixing mechanism 6 is installed on the outside of the transfer plate 5.

[0023] Specifically, the height of the support plate 3 can be precisely adjusted via the lifting mechanism 2. In the aerospace sheet metal processing workshop, the heights of the discharge ports or storage positions of different processing equipment vary. The lifting mechanism 2 allows the transfer equipment to adapt flexibly, ensuring efficient connection between different processes and smooth transfer of sheet metal parts. This avoids inconvenience caused by height mismatch and improves transfer efficiency. The moving mechanism 4 gives the transfer plate 5 the ability to move laterally. When facing aerospace sheet metal parts placed in different positions, the transfer plate 5 can move laterally with the help of the moving mechanism 4. It can accurately align with the sheet metal parts without moving the entire transfer equipment, reducing equipment adjustment time and improving the flexibility and convenience of transfer operations. Multiple sets of airbag blocks 501, rubber sleeves 502, and pressure sensors are also included. Device 503 constitutes an adaptive protective support system. When an aerospace sheet metal part is placed on the transfer plate 5, the pressure sensor 503 senses the pressure distribution of the aerospace sheet metal part in real time. The device controls the inflation and deflation of the airbag block 501 according to the data, so that the rubber sleeve 502 fits tightly against the irregular surface of the aerospace sheet metal part. At the same time, it can support the weak parts or suspended parts of the aerospace sheet metal part, ensuring the stability of the sheet metal part during the transfer process. The rubber sleeve 502 protects the surface of the aerospace sheet metal part from scratches, and the airbag block 501 buffers vibrations to prevent damage to the aerospace sheet metal part caused by collisions and vibrations, ensuring its surface quality. Finally, the fixing mechanism 6 can firmly fix the sheet metal part on the transfer plate 5 to prevent it from shaking, shifting or even falling.

[0024] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The lifting mechanism 2 includes a first support rod 201 disposed on both sides above the transfer body 1. The bottom end of the first support rod 201 is rotatably connected to the transfer body 1, and the top end of the first support rod 201 is rotatably connected to the support plate 3. A second support rod 202 is installed crosswise on one side of the first support rod 201. The bottom end of the second support rod 202 is located inside the transfer body 1 and a drive assembly 203 is installed thereon. The top end of the second support rod 202 is rotatably connected to the support plate 3. The drive assembly 203 consists of a motor and a threaded rod. The output end of the motor is connected to the threaded rod. The second support rod 202 can be moved by rotating the threaded rod through the operation of the motor.

[0025] Specifically, in order to adjust the height of the support plate 3, the bottom end of the second support rod 202 is moved by the operation of the drive component 203, and the top end of the first support rod 201 moves at the bottom of the support plate 3. At this time, the included angle between the first support rod 201 and the second support rod 202 becomes smaller, which can raise the support plate 3. Conversely, the included angle between the first support rod 201 and the second support rod 202 becomes larger, and the height of the support plate 3 will decrease. This allows personnel to easily adjust the height of the support plate 3 for placing aerospace sheet metal parts according to actual usage.

[0026] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3The moving mechanism 4 includes a limiting groove 402 disposed inside the support plate 3. A transmission mechanism 401 is installed inside the limiting groove 402. A transfer plate 5 is connected to the outside of the transmission mechanism 401. The transmission mechanism 401 has the same structure as the drive assembly 203.

[0027] Specifically, to facilitate the handling of aerospace sheet metal parts, the drive assembly 203 can move the transfer plate 5, allowing it to move out of the support plate 3. The limiting groove 402 can limit the movement of the transfer plate 5. When the transfer plate 5 moves out of the support plate 3, personnel can quickly place the aerospace sheet metal parts on the transfer plate 5 as needed, thereby reducing the handling distance and labor costs.

[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two sets of suction cup structures 8 are installed at one end of the support plate 3, and the two sets of suction cup structures 8 are symmetrically arranged.

[0029] Specifically, in order to fix the position of the device, when the lifting mechanism 2 moves the support plate 3 to the same level as the platform for placing the aerospace sheet metal parts, the suction cup structure 8 fixes the support plate 3 to the platform for placing the aerospace sheet metal parts. At this time, the device can be prevented from moving, thus making it convenient for personnel to place the aerospace sheet metal parts on the transfer body 1 for transfer.

[0030] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 The transfer plate 5 has movable grooves 7 inside both ends, and the movable grooves 7 are fitted with limit plates 701 through a coil spring structure.

[0031] Specifically, in order to limit the movement of the aircraft sheet metal parts during transportation and prevent them from slipping and causing damage, when the aircraft sheet metal parts are on the transfer plate 5, the limiting plate 701 will move out of the inside of the movable groove 7 under the action of the coil springs on both sides. At this time, the limiting plate 701 is perpendicular to the transfer plate 5. The two sets of limiting plates 701 can limit the movement of the aircraft sheet metal parts during transportation, thereby preventing them from slipping and causing damage.

[0032] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing mechanism 6 includes a storage seat 601 disposed on both sides of the transfer plate 5, and a Velcro cable tie 602 is installed inside the storage seat 601.

[0033] Specifically, in order to provide auxiliary fixation for the aerospace sheet metal parts placed on the transfer plate 5, the storage base 601 is equipped with Velcro straps 602 through a spring-loaded structure. By pulling out the Velcro straps 602 inside the storage base 601, the Velcro straps 602 on both sides of the transfer plate 5 can be attracted to each other, thus fixing the aerospace sheet metal parts on the transfer plate 5, which facilitates the later transportation of the equipment.

[0034] Working principle: By placing the aircraft sheet metal part on the transfer plate 5, the pressure sensor 503 senses the pressure distribution of the aircraft sheet metal part in real time. The device controls the inflation and deflation of the airbag block 501 according to the data, so that the rubber sleeve 502 tightly fits the irregular surface of the aircraft sheet metal part. At the same time, it can support the weak or suspended parts of the aircraft sheet metal part, ensuring the stability of the sheet metal part during the transfer process. When the aircraft sheet metal part is on the transfer plate 5, the limiting plate 701 will move out of the inside of the movable groove 7 under the action of the coil springs on both sides. At this time, the limiting plate 701 is perpendicular to the transfer plate 5. The two sets of limiting plates 701 can limit the aircraft sheet metal part during transportation. Finally, the personnel pull out the Velcro straps 602 inside the storage seat 601, so that the Velcro straps 602 on both sides of the transfer plate 5 are attracted to each other, which can fix the aircraft sheet metal part on the transfer plate 5, making it convenient for the transfer body 1 to transfer the aircraft sheet metal part.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications and equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
