[0013] Optionally, the transfer grid includes a grid connector and a plurality of grid arms at one end of the grid connector. The grid connector is connected to the second base plate, and the plurality of grid arms are arranged at intervals along the transverse direction of the base.

[0014] Optionally, the positioning part includes a positioning protrusion protruding from the grid arm, the positioning protrusion and the second alignment arm being adapted to be jointly clamped on both sides of the longitudinal direction of the sheet material.

[0015] Optionally, the transfer grid plate also has a vertical travel along the base, and the transfer assembly further includes a transfer lifting structure, which is disposed on the second base plate and connected to the transfer grid plate.

[0016] Optionally, the material transfer lifting structure includes a lifting driver, a lifting guide column and a lifting guide cylinder that slide together.

[0017] Optionally, each of the first alignment arms includes a first arm body and a plurality of first limiting protrusions protruding from the first arm body. Both of the first alignment arms have a lateral travel along the base so that they can move closer to or further away from each other.

[0018] Optionally, the second alignment arm includes a second arm body and a plurality of second limiting protrusions protruding from the second arm body;

[0019] The alignment assembly further includes an alignment bracket, which is disposed on the base. Each of the first alignment arms and the second alignment arms is disposed on the alignment bracket, and the main body of the second arm is located above the main bodies of the two first arms.

The material transfer component can transfer sheet metal, and it can move laterally and longitudinally along the base. The incoming sheet metal can be placed on the material transfer component. By moving the material transfer component laterally or longitudinally along the base, the sheet metal can be moved from the previous process to the alignment area. The alignment component then pushes the sheet metal to achieve alignment, ensuring more accurate positioning when entering the next process. Specifically, the alignment component includes two first alignment arms and one second alignment arm. The movement of the two first alignment arms clamps the sheet metal on both sides of the base laterally, thereby determining the sheet metal's position in the lateral direction. The movement of the second alignment arm abuts against one side of the sheet metal's longitudinal direction. Furthermore, a positioning part is provided on the material transfer component. The combined action of the second alignment arm and the positioning part determines the sheet metal's position in the longitudinal direction along the base. Therefore, it can better ensure the position of the sheet relative to the base, thus better ensuring its processing position when the sheet enters the next process. Moreover, the whole process does not require manual intervention, saving more labor, increasing processing efficiency, and better realizing intelligent processing operations.

[0035] This utility model provides a material transfer calibration device 100. For details, please refer to [link to details]. Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the material transfer calibration device 100 includes a base 1, a material transfer component 2, and an alignment component 3. The material transfer component 2 is movably disposed on the base 1 and has at least a horizontal and a vertical travel along the base 1. The alignment component 3 is disposed on the base 1 and includes two first alignment arms 31 arranged opposite each other along the horizontal direction of the base 1 and a second alignment arm 32 extending along the horizontal direction of the base 1. The two first alignment arms 31 and the second alignment arm 32 are movably disposed and form an alignment area between them. The material transfer component 2 is provided with a positioning part 213. The material transfer component 2 can move the sheet material into the alignment area. The two first alignment arms 31 can be moved to abut against the two sides of the sheet material in the horizontal direction. The second alignment arm 32 can move toward the positioning part 213 so that the second alignment arm 32 and the positioning part 213 are respectively adapted to abut against the two sides of the sheet material in the vertical direction.

[0036] In this embodiment, the sheet metal can be transferred using the transfer assembly 2. The transfer assembly 2 can move laterally and longitudinally along the base 1. The incoming sheet metal can be placed on the transfer assembly 2. By moving the transfer assembly 2 laterally or longitudinally along the base 1, the sheet metal can be moved from the previous process to the alignment area. Then, the alignment assembly 3 pushes the sheet metal to achieve alignment, ensuring a more accurate position when entering the next process. Specifically, the alignment assembly 3 includes two first alignment arms 31 and one second alignment arm 32. By moving the two first alignment arms 31 to clamp the sheet metal on both sides laterally along the base 1, the position of the sheet metal along the lateral direction of the base 1 is determined. The second alignment arm 32 moves to abut against one side of the longitudinal direction of the sheet metal. Furthermore, a positioning part 213 is provided on the material transfer assembly 2. Through the combined action of the second alignment arm 32 and the positioning part 213, the position of the sheet metal along the longitudinal direction of the base 1 is determined. Therefore, the position of the sheet metal relative to the base 1 can be better guaranteed, thus ensuring its processing position when it enters the next process. Moreover, the entire process does not require manual intervention, saving labor, increasing processing efficiency, and better realizing intelligent processing operations.

[0037] The shape and size of the base 1 are not specifically limited, as long as it can support the material transfer component 2 and the alignment component 3. Preferably, the base 1 is flat. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The directions shown indicate that the base 1 is positioned horizontally when the material transfer calibration device 100 is in normal use. The lateral and longitudinal directions are two perpendicular directions on a horizontal plane. For example, when the lateral direction refers to the left-right direction along the base 1, the longitudinal direction is the front-back direction. The material transfer component 2 and the alignment component 3 are both located above the base 1. Unless otherwise specified, all descriptions of orientation in this invention shall be taken as such.

[0038] The material transfer component 2 is mainly used to move the sheet metal from the previous process to the alignment area. Preferably, it is combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the material transfer assembly 2 includes a first base plate 22, a second base plate 23, and a material transfer grid plate 21. The first base plate 22 is movably mounted laterally on the base 1. A first slide rail extending laterally is provided on the base 1. A first slider, which slidably engages with the first slide rail, is provided at the bottom of the first base plate 22. The first slider, moving laterally relative to the first slide rail, drives the first base plate 22 to reciprocate laterally. The second base plate 23 is movably mounted longitudinally on the first base plate 22. A second slide rail extending longitudinally is provided at the top of the first base plate 22. A second slider, which slidably engages with the second slide rail, is provided at the bottom of the second base plate 23. The second slider, moving longitudinally relative to the second slide rail, drives the second base plate 23 to reciprocate longitudinally. One end of the material transfer grid plate 21 along the longitudinal direction of the base 1 is connected to the second base plate 23, and the other end is suspended to extend into the alignment area. The material transfer grid 21 is connected to the second base plate 23. Therefore, when the first base plate 22 moves laterally, it can drive the second base plate 23 and the material transfer grid 21 to move laterally together. When the second base plate 23 moves longitudinally, it can drive the material transfer grid 21 to move longitudinally together. This allows the material transfer grid 21 to have both a lateral and longitudinal travel, thus enabling it to better move the sheet material to the alignment area.

[0039] Of course, such as Figure 4 As shown, the material transfer assembly 2 further includes a transverse material transfer driver 24 and a longitudinal material transfer driver 25. The transverse material transfer driver 24 is connected to the first slider and is used to drive the first slider to reciprocate along a transverse straight line. The longitudinal material transfer driver 25 is connected to the second slider and is used to drive the second slider to reciprocate along a longitudinal straight line.

[0040] Furthermore, when the surface of the sheet metal is coated with ink or other sprayed materials, to avoid damage from the sprayed materials, the surface in contact with the sheet metal should be kept away from the area where the sprayed materials are located. Preferably, in combination with... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transfer grid 21 includes a grid connector 211 and multiple grid arms 212 with one end disposed on the grid connector 211. The grid connector 211 is connected to the second base plate 23. The movement of the second base plate 23 drives the grid connector 211 to move, thereby moving the entire transfer grid 21. The multiple grid arms 212 are arranged at intervals along the transverse direction of the base 1, forming a forked structure. This better avoids contact with the coating area on the sheet material and improves heat dissipation.

[0041] Moreover, such as Figure 4 As shown, the transfer grid plate 21 also has a vertical travel distance along the base 1. The transfer assembly 2 further includes a transfer lifting structure 26, which is disposed on the second base plate 23 and connected to the transfer grid plate 21. The transfer lifting structure 26 is used to drive the transfer grid plate 21 to move vertically, thereby allowing the position of the sheet material in the vertical direction to be adjusted so that the sheet material can be better aligned and adjusted by the alignment assembly 3 when it is located in the alignment area.

[0042] Preferably, the material transfer lifting structure 26 includes a lifting driver 261, and a lifting guide column 263 and a lifting guide cylinder 262 that slide against each other. The lifting driver 261 is connected to the material transfer grid plate 21, and specifically, the lifting driver 261 is connected to the grid plate connection point. The lifting guide cylinder 262 is disposed on the second base plate 23 and extends along the vertical direction of the base 1. One end of the lifting guide column 263 is connected to the material transfer grid plate 21, and the other end is movably sleeved in the lifting guide cylinder 262. The lifting driver 261 drives the material transfer grid plate 21 to move vertically, and under the guidance of the lifting guide cylinder 262 and the lifting guide column 263, the material transfer grid plate 21 is more stable and less prone to shaking during movement.

[0043] The first alignment arm 31 is used to adjust the sheet metal on both sides laterally. Specifically, as... Figure 4 As shown, each of the first alignment arms 31 includes a first arm body 311 and a plurality of first limiting protrusions 312 protruding from the first arm body 311. Both first alignment arms 31 have a lateral travel along the base 1, allowing them to move closer or further apart. Preferably, the two first alignment arms 31 are arranged to move synchronously to ensure the plate remains centered within the alignment area. When the transfer grid plate 21 is located within the alignment area, at least a portion of each first limiting protrusion 312 protrudes upward from the transfer grid plate 21 to abut against the periphery of the plate material, thereby achieving better contact with the plate material through the plurality of first limiting protrusions 312.

[0044] Similarly, the second alignment arm 32 includes a second arm body 321 and a plurality of second limiting protrusions 322 protruding from the second arm body 321. The alignment assembly 3 also includes an alignment bracket 33, which is disposed on the base 1, and each of the first alignment arms 31 and the second alignment arms 32 is disposed on the alignment bracket 33. The second arm body 321 is located above the two first arm bodies 311 to ensure that the first alignment arms 31 and the second alignment arms 32 do not interfere with each other when moving, and can better abut against the periphery of the sheet metal.

[0045] Furthermore, the second alignment arm 32 has a longitudinal travel along the base 1. One end of the second arm body 321 is connected to the alignment bracket 33 and is movable relative to the alignment bracket 33 along the longitudinal direction of the base 1. The other end of the second arm body 321 is suspended to better avoid collision with the two first alignment arms 31. By moving the second alignment arm 32 longitudinally to move away from or towards the positioning part 213, it better engages with the positioning part 213, thereby fixing it to both sides of the longitudinal direction of the sheet metal.

[0046] Preferably, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning part 213 includes a positioning protrusion 2131 protruding from the grid arm 212. The positioning protrusion 2131 and the second alignment arm 32 are adapted to jointly clamp the two sides of the sheet material in the longitudinal direction. After the transfer grid 21 moves into place in the alignment area, the two first alignment arms 31 move to clamp and fix the two sides of the sheet material in the transverse direction. The second alignment arm 32 moves to push the second limiting protrusion 322 to move the sheet material toward the positioning protrusion 2131, thereby clamping and fixing the sheet material together with the positioning protrusion 2131 in the longitudinal direction. This achieves both positioning and complete positioning of the sheet material, preventing it from shifting again.

[0047] Specifically, in relation to the alignment bracket 33, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the alignment bracket 33 includes a first support frame 331 standing sideways on the base 1, and a second support frame 332 disposed on the side of the first support frame 331 facing the alignment area. The first support frame 331 extends longitudinally, and the second alignment arm 32 is movably disposed on the first support frame 331 along the longitudinal direction of the base 1 to adjust its position in the longitudinal direction. The second support frame 332 extends laterally, and the two first alignment arms 31 are movably disposed on the second support frame 332 along the lateral direction of the base 1, so that the two first alignment arms 31 can move closer or further apart from each other, thereby adjusting the position of the sheet metal in the lateral direction. The alignment bracket 33 positions the first alignment arms 31 and the second alignment arms 32 at a certain height, providing better movement space and leaving space below the alignment area for the lateral transfer driver 24 and the longitudinal transfer driver 25, resulting in a more compact structure.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure made using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
