[0044] This utility model provides a sheet metal temporary storage device 100. For details, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the sheet metal temporary storage device 100 includes a base 1, a position adjustment component 2, a storage component 3, and a transfer component 4. The base 1 is provided with a calibration station and a storage station. The position adjustment component 2 is disposed on the base 1 and is set corresponding to the calibration station. The storage component 3 is disposed on the base 1 and is set corresponding to the storage station. The transfer component 4 is movably disposed on the base 1. The transfer component 4 is used to feed the sheet metal into the storage component 3 and to remove it from the storage component 3. The sheet metal removed from the storage component 3 can be transferred to the calibration station via the transfer component 4 so that the position of the sheet metal can be calibrated and adjusted by the position adjustment component 2. The position adjustment component 2 is located at one end of the transfer component 4 in the horizontal direction, and the storage component 3 is located on one side of the transfer component 4 in the vertical direction and is arranged opposite to the position adjustment component 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the transfer component 4 is used to transfer the sheet material from the previous process to the storage component 3 for temporary storage. The transfer component 4 can also remove the sheet material from the storage component 3. The removed sheet material can be transferred to the calibration station via the transfer component 4, where the position adjustment component 2 calibrates and adjusts its position. This allows the sheet material to be moved out of the storage component 3 and its position adjusted by the position adjustment component 2, making it easier for the sheet material to enter the next process in the correct posture and position. This achieves automated processing, higher processing efficiency, and better ensures the position of the sheet material, resulting in better processing quality.

[0046] The base 1 can be a plate, block, or frame structure, and its specific shape and size are not specifically limited. When the plate storage device 100 is in normal use, the lateral direction of the base 1 is left-right, and the longitudinal direction of the base 1 is front-back. Unless otherwise specified, all descriptions of orientation in this utility model shall be taken as such. It should be noted that... Figure 2 The image shown is only a part of the base 1 and does not represent the entirety of the base 1. The base 1 may be set as one or more components, or as an assembly structure of multiple components, depending on the shape or size of the installed equipment.

[0047] For the storage component 3, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the storage assembly 3 includes multiple layers of shelf members 31 arranged in a stacked and spaced manner. A storage space for placing sheet metal is formed between each pair of adjacent shelf members 31, and each storage space is open on the side facing the position adjustment assembly 2. Each storage space can accommodate one sheet metal, which can be transferred from the open side of the corresponding storage space to the storage space via the transfer assembly 4, and stored on the shelf member 31.

[0048] In one embodiment, the multi-layered material holders 31 have a vertical travel distance along the base 1, allowing each of the storage spaces to move vertically to better cooperate with the transfer assembly 4, thereby enabling the loading and unloading of sheet metal. Specifically, the transfer assembly 4 has a material-receiving surface, which is the surface on which the sheet metal is placed. The multi-layered material holders 31 move vertically, allowing each layer of material holders 31 to be sequentially arranged opposite to the material-receiving surface, making it easier for the transfer assembly 4 to load and unload material.

[0049] Furthermore, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the material storage assembly 3 also includes a material storage plate 32 and a material storage drive structure 33. One end of each of the material holders 31 is disposed on the material storage plate 32, and the other end of each of the material holders 31 extends along the longitudinal direction of the base 1 toward the position adjustment assembly 2, so as to be suspended, so that loading and unloading of the material is unobstructed and smoother. The material storage drive structure 33 is disposed on the base 1 and connected to the material storage plate 32, and is used to drive the material storage plate 32 to move along the vertical direction of the base 1, thereby driving the multiple material holders 31 to move together in the vertical direction, so that each of the material storage spaces can be sequentially opposite to the material picking surface, so as to facilitate the picking and placing of materials.

[0050] In one embodiment, each of the material holders 31 is at least partially hollowed out, so that the ink or other sprayed areas on the sheet can be better avoided, thus preventing damage to the sprayed coating.

[0051] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown in the product, each of the material support components 31 includes multiple material support arms 311, which are spaced apart along the transverse direction of the base 1. The hollow area of ​​each material support component 31 is larger, making it less likely to touch the coating area and providing better heat dissipation.

[0052] The base 1 is further provided with a loading station, which is located on one side of the calibration station. The sheet metal processed in the previous step can be moved to the loading station and transferred to the transfer assembly 4. Preferably, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the transfer assembly 4 includes a transfer tray 41, a first transfer driver 42, and a second transfer driver 43. The first transfer driver 42 is connected to the transfer tray 41 and drives the transfer tray 41 to reciprocate laterally along the base 1, allowing the sheet metal to reciprocate between the loading station and the calibration station. The second transfer driver 43 is connected to the transfer tray 41 and drives the transfer tray 41 to reciprocate longitudinally along the base 1, allowing the sheet metal to reciprocate between the storage station and the calibration station, so that at least a portion of the transfer tray 41 can extend into the corresponding storage spaces. The sheet metal is first moved laterally along the base 1 by the transfer tray 41 to transfer it to the calibration station, and then moved longitudinally along the base 1 by the transfer tray 41 to transfer it to the storage assembly 3 at the storage station. After the sheet material is settled, the transfer component 4 moves the sheet material longitudinally out of the storage component 3 and transfers it to the calibration station. Then, the position adjustment component 2 adjusts and fixes the position of the sheet material so that it can better enter the next production process.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the transfer assembly 4 further includes a base plate 44, which may be integrally formed with the base 1 or detachably connected to the base 1. The first transfer driver 42 includes a first transfer driver mounted on the base plate 44 and a first movable plate 45 driven and connected to the first transfer driver. The second transfer driver 43 includes a second transfer driver mounted on the first movable plate 45 and a second movable plate 46 driven and connected to the second transfer driver. The transfer tray 41 is mounted on the second movable plate 46. The first transfer driver drives the first movable plate 45 to move laterally, causing the second movable plate 46 and the transfer tray 41 to move laterally together. The second transfer driver drives the second movable plate 46 to move longitudinally, causing the transfer tray 41 to move longitudinally together, making the movement of the transfer tray 41 more flexible.

[0054] The transfer tray 41 includes a transfer connector and a transfer grid located on one side of the transfer connector. The transfer grid extends longitudinally toward one side of the storage station.

[0055] Regarding the position adjustment component 2, in combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the position adjustment assembly 2 includes an adjustment bracket 21, two first adjustment members 22, and a second adjustment member 23. The adjustment bracket 21 is mounted on the base plate 44; the two first adjustment members 22 are mounted on the adjustment bracket 21 and are arranged at relative intervals on both sides of the calibration station along the transverse direction of the base 1. The second adjustment member 23 is mounted on the adjustment bracket 21, located on the side of the two first adjustment members 22 closer to the material storage assembly 3, and is positioned above the two first adjustment members 22. The two first adjustment members 22 can jointly clamp the two sides acting on the transverse direction of the sheet material to calibrate the sheet material in the transverse direction. The second adjustment member 23 can adjust the position of the sheet material in the longitudinal direction, so that the sheet material can be adjusted to a preset position at the calibration station.

[0056] The transfer tray 41 is provided with a limiting part. The position adjustment assembly 2 also includes a first adjustment driver 24 and a second adjustment driver 25 disposed on the adjustment bracket 21. The first adjustment driver 24 is connected to both first adjustment members 22 and is used to drive the two first adjustment members 22 to move closer to or further away from each other, thereby clamping or releasing the sheet material in the lateral direction. The second adjustment driver 25 is connected to the second adjustment member 23 and is used to drive the second adjustment member 23 to move longitudinally along the base 1, moving towards or away from the limiting part, thereby clamping or moving away from the sheet material in the longitudinal direction through the second adjustment member 23 and the limiting part.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, each of the first adjusting members 22 includes a first adjusting arm 221 and a first positioning protrusion 222 protruding from the first adjusting arm 221. Specifically, the multiple first positioning protrusions 222 are used to clamp the sheet metal on both sides in the lateral direction. The second adjusting member 23 includes a second adjusting arm 231 and a second positioning protrusion 232 protruding from the second adjusting arm 231. Specifically, the second positioning protrusion 232 can abut against one side of the longitudinal direction of the sheet metal. The limiting part includes a limiting protrusion 411 provided on the transfer tray 41. The limiting protrusion 411 can abut against the other side of the longitudinal direction of the sheet metal, thereby completely positioning and fixing the sheet metal on the transfer tray 41.

[0058] The adjusting bracket 21 includes a first bracket and a second bracket. The first bracket extends longitudinally, the second adjusting actuator 25 is mounted on the first bracket, and the second adjusting arm 231 is slidably mounted on the first bracket longitudinally. Each of the second brackets extends laterally, the first adjusting actuator 24 is mounted on the second bracket, and the two second adjusting arms 231 are slidably mounted on the second bracket laterally. The two second adjusting arms 231 are arranged to move synchronously to ensure better alignment.

[0059] Moreover, such as Figure 4 As shown, the material transfer assembly 4 further includes a lifting driver 47, and cooperating guide posts 49 and guide cylinders 48. The lifting driver 47 is disposed on the second movable plate 46, and the guide cylinder 48 is disposed on the second movable plate 46. One end of the guide post 49 is connected to the movable disk, and the other end is slidably sleeved inside the guide cylinder 48. The lifting driver 47 can drive the second movable plate 46 to move in the vertical direction, so that the material transfer disk 41 can protrude from the position adjustment assembly 2, so as to more easily extend the sheet material into the material holder 31.

[0060] The first movable plate 45 is also provided with a guide rail extending longitudinally, and the second movable plate 46 is provided with a slider that slides in cooperation with the guide rail. Multiple material holders 31 are located at one end of the guide rail. When the slider is located at the end of the guide rail near the material holder 31, the transfer disk 41 can be fully extended into the storage space, allowing the sheet material to be better placed on the material holder 31. Furthermore, the material holder 31 is configured as multiple material support arms 311, and the transfer disk 41 is configured as a transfer grid, so that each grid arm of the transfer grid can be correspondingly positioned between two adjacent material support arms 311, allowing for clearance during material handling and making the handling of sheet material more convenient.
