[0002] Sheet metal is a standard-sized, flat, rectangular building material used in the construction industry for components such as walls, ceilings, or floors. It also often refers to metal sheets that have been forged, rolled, or cast. Sheets are classified as thin, medium, thick, and extra-thick, and are typically made into standard-sized, flat, rectangular building materials. Sheet metal requires multiple processing steps before use.
[0003] Currently, there are various laser cutting machines on the market with excellent processing effects, capable of cutting perfect and various plates that meet process requirements. In actual processing, in order to quickly feed the cutting machine with the plates, some plates are heavy, especially heavy plates, which pose a risk of misalignment during transport. Ordinary plate transport is difficult to meet the requirements, resulting in defects in plate transport and preparation for laser cutting in small and medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, when the plate transport alignment equipment is installed, if the ground is uneven, the bottom of the plate transport alignment equipment cannot be adjusted individually according to the needs.

[0022] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a plate alignment device, the technical solution of which is as follows:
[0023] A plate alignment device includes a fixed base 1 and a drive motor 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed base 1. A driven sprocket 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed base 1. A main sprocket 4 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed base 1 on one side of the drive motor 2. The drive shaft of the drive motor 2 is fixedly connected to the main sprocket 4 through a reduction gearbox. A first drive chain 5 is provided between the main sprocket 4 and the driven sprocket 3. The main sprocket 4 is connected to the driven sprocket 3 through the first drive chain 5. A movable base mechanism 6 is provided on the outer wall of the first drive chain 5.
[0024] The movable base mechanism 6 includes a lower movable base 601 and a second transmission chain 602 connected to the outside of the lower movable base 601 by multiple small sprockets. The outer wall of the lower movable base 601 is fixedly connected to the first transmission chain 5. A motor body 603 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lower movable base 601. The output shaft of the motor body 603 is fixedly connected to the small sprockets.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, an upper movable seat 604 is fixedly connected to the top of the second transmission chain 602. A roller 605 is provided between the upper movable seat 604 and the lower movable seat 601. A first positioning post 606 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper movable seat 604, and a second positioning post 610 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower movable seat 601. When the upper movable seat 604 moves, it will drive the roller 605 to move, so that the upper movable seat 604 can move on top of the lower movable seat 601.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, a ball bearing 607 is provided on the top of the fixed base 1, and an alignment cylinder 608 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the fixed base 1. An alignment plate 609 is fixedly connected to the output end of the alignment cylinder 608. When the plate is on the top of the fixed base 1, the plate can contact the ball bearing 607, so that the plate and the ball bearing 607 can rotate.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, an adjusting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed base 1. An adjusting groove 8 is provided on the outer wall of the adjusting plate 7. A support rod 9 is slidably connected inside the adjusting groove 8. A positioning hole 10 is provided on the outer wall of the support rod 9. A groove 11 is provided inside the adjusting plate 7. A fixed rod 12 is fixedly connected inside the groove 11. A movable plate 13 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod 12. When the movable plate 13 moves, the movable plate 13 will move inside the sliding groove 17, so that the movable plate 13 moves simultaneously on the outer wall of the fixed rod 12.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The processed sheet metal is located on the upper movable seat 604. The drive motor 2 is started, and its drive shaft drives the main sprocket 4. The main sprocket 4 drives the first drive chain 5, which in turn drives the driven sprocket 3. Simultaneously, the first drive chain 5 drives the lower movable seat 601, causing the lower movable seat 601 to move, which in turn moves the upper movable seat 604 and the sheet metal downwards. At this point, the lower movable seat 601 contacts the fixed base 1, causing the bottom end of the sheet metal to contact the ball bearing 607. Then, the motor body 603 is started, causing its drive shaft to drive the second drive chain 602 via a small sprocket. Chain 602 drives the upper moving seat 604 to move, which in turn drives the plate to move. The upper moving plate 13 then drives the plate to move towards the first positioning post 606, limiting the front and rear positions of the plate. At this time, the alignment cylinder 608 is activated, causing the output end of the alignment cylinder 608 to drive the alignment plate 609 to press the plate. The second positioning post 610 limits the left and right positions of the plate, making it easier to align the plate. The alignment cylinder 608 pushes the plate along the ball bearing 607 until it reaches the second positioning post 610. At this point, the plate has moved to the required position, and the drive motor 2 reverses its operation to drive the moving base to rise and lift the plate.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a plate alignment device, wherein a connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of a movable plate 13, a positioning rod 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 14, one end of the positioning rod 15 passes through the interior of the adjustment groove 8 and is slidably connected to the adjustment plate 7, and one end of the positioning rod 15 is slidably connected to the positioning hole 10. A spring 16 is provided between the outer wall of the movable plate 13 and the groove 11. When the movable plate 13 moves, the movable plate 13 will squeeze the spring 16 so that the movable plate 13 can return to the initial position.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the adjusting plate 7 is provided with a sliding groove 17 and the sliding groove 17 is connected to the groove 11. The sliding groove 17 is slidably connected to the moving plate 13. When the moving plate 13 moves, the moving plate 13 will drive the connecting rod 14 to move, so that the connecting rod 14 can drive the positioning rod 15 to move.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the bottom end of the fixed base needs to be adjusted, the movable plate 13 is pulled, causing it to slide inside the slide groove 17. At the same time, the movable plate 13 slides on the outer wall of the fixed rod 12, compressing the spring 16. The movable plate 13 also drives the connecting rod 14 to move, causing the connecting rod 14 to move the positioning rod 15, separating the positioning rod 15 from the positioning groove. At this time, the support rod 9 is pulled, causing it to slide inside the adjustment groove 8. When the support rod 9 reaches the appropriate position, the movable plate 13 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 16 causes the movable plate 13 to return to the initial position. The movable plate 13 drives the positioning rod 15 through the connecting rod 14, causing one end of the positioning rod 15 to enter the positioning groove, thus facilitating the subsequent adjustment of the fixed base 1.
[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
