Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wood processing structures, specifically a wood processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the performance of the boards, existing boards are processed using multi-layer plywood. Board loading is the first step in board processing. Traditionally, manual loading is used in workshops. To improve production efficiency, some manufacturers use linear conveyor lines to transport the boards. However, for stacking multiple boards (more than 6 pieces), traditional reciprocating conveyor mechanisms are inconvenient to operate. A large amount of manual assistance is still required, which is detrimental to production. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a wood processing equipment to solve the problems of inconvenient board feeding, low efficiency, and the need for a large amount of manual assistance, which are not conducive to production.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a wood processing equipment, comprising: a plurality of placement platforms and a feeding platform, wherein the placement platforms are arranged in sequence, at least one set of the placement platforms is provided with a conveying mechanism, a track frame is provided on one side of the placement platform, and a plurality of sequentially arranged transport mechanisms are provided on the track frame, the transport mechanisms circulate along the track frame, and the transport mechanisms transport materials from the placement platform to the feeding platform.

[0005] Preferably, several placement machines are evenly arranged around a center along the circumference, the track frame includes a main frame, and the conveying mechanism is evenly arranged around the main frame along the circumference. The appropriate number of machines can be selected based on the number of layers of the sheet material. The circumferential arrangement facilitates circulation.

[0006] Preferably, the track frame further includes several swing arms, which are fixed to the main frame by a locking mechanism, allowing the distance between the swing arms to be adjustable. This locking mechanism has two functions here: one is to fix the swing arms, and the other is to cooperate with the main frame. If the main frame rotates, the swing arms are fixedly connected to the main frame. If the main frame only serves as a support, a rotating ring should be provided. This rotating ring is mounted on the main frame via bearings, and a rotation drive structure is installed to rotate the rotating ring, causing the swing arms to rotate with the rotating ring.

[0007] Preferably, the conveying mechanism is slidably mounted on the swing arm and fixed by a positioning mechanism to change the position of the conveying mechanism. The positioning mechanism is used to adjust the position of the swing arm. If automatic control is not required, the positioning mechanism, which is a bolt, can be used to fix the position after confirmation. If automatic control is required, the positioning mechanism adopts a linear drive structure such as a lead screw structure or a synchronous belt structure, which can control the operation of the conveying mechanism and limit its position on the swing arm.

[0008] Preferably, the track frame further includes an outer frame, and a reinforcing arm is provided between the outer frame and the main frame. One side of the swing arm is slidably mounted on the reinforcing arm. To improve the strength of the swing arm, the reinforcing arm and the swing arm are slidably connected, providing a second support point for the swing arm, which can effectively improve the stability of the equipment.

[0009] Preferably, the handling mechanism includes a handling frame, a pneumatic suction cup mounted on the handling frame, and a lifting drive unit. The lifting drive unit uses a cylinder, and the pneumatic suction cup is connected to a pneumatic actuator to provide negative pressure to the suction cup for suction and handling. The handling mechanism should include a slide, which is slidably connected to a swing arm, or the slide is connected to a positioning mechanism. The lifting drive unit is mounted on the handling frame and the slide. The air pipe of the cylinder is connected using a rotary joint (slip ring) to avoid the air pipe from tangling due to rotation.

[0010] Preferably, the transport frame is equipped with an auxiliary transport unit, which includes a secondary clamping arm slidably mounted on the transport frame and a lead screw drive unit connected to the secondary clamping arm. The lead screw drive unit uses a double-ended lead screw, with the secondary clamping arm threadedly engaged with it. Rotation of the lead screw moves the secondary clamping arm (closer or further away), achieving clamping of the sheet metal by moving closer, reducing the force on the suction cup, and ensuring safety during use.

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

[0012] High degree of automation and improved efficiency: This equipment achieves fully automated or semi-automated operation of the entire process of wood board from placement to unloading through automated conveying mechanisms, cyclical handling mechanisms, and unloading stations. This greatly reduces manual intervention and improves the efficiency of material flow and processing, making it particularly suitable for large-volume, repetitive wood processing scenarios.

[0013] Flexible layout and strong adaptability: It supports a variety of layout forms, including but not limited to linear layout, circular layout and adjustable layout; enabling the equipment to adapt to the processing needs of different sizes and quantities of plates, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment, and reducing the cost of replacing or adding equipment for different specifications of products.

[0014] Robust structure and high reliability: The design of the cyclic motion track and conveying mechanism reduces the frequency of equipment start-up and shutdown, and reduces mechanical wear.

[0015] High safety: The introduced auxiliary handling unit (sub-clamping arm + lead screw drive) adds mechanical clamping safety to the pneumatic suction cup adsorption. This greatly improves the safety of the handling process, effectively preventing accidents caused by panel drop due to air pressure fluctuations, suction cup aging, or poor surface condition of the panel, thus ensuring the safety of operators and equipment.

[0016] Easy to operate and manage: The adjustable position of the handling mechanism allows the equipment to quickly adapt to layout changes or new placement / unloading stations, reducing adjustment time and complexity.

[0017] Modular design potential: The circular layout and adjustable parts have certain modular potential, which makes it easy to expand the number of machines or adjust the scale of equipment according to production needs.

[0018] In conclusion, this wood processing equipment, through its automated, flexible layout, robust structure, and safe and reliable design, significantly improves the efficiency and quality of wood processing, reduces labor costs and safety risks, and possesses strong practical value and market competitiveness.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the wood processing equipment of this embodiment includes: several placement platforms 1 (AI in the figure, the number and placement position can be adjusted according to actual needs), the placement platform 1 is used to store initial boards, and a cutting platform 2 is used to stack the initial boards transported from the placement platform 1. The placement platform is equipped with a conveying mechanism (the conveying mechanism adopts roller conveyor, chain conveyor or belt conveyor). A track frame 3 is provided on one side of the placement platform 1. The track frame 3 in this embodiment is similar to a racetrack structure. Several conveying mechanisms 4 are arranged in sequence on the track frame 3. The conveying mechanisms 4 move cyclically along the track frame 3 through chain drive, and the materials are transported from the placement platform 1 to the cutting platform 2 through the conveying mechanisms 4.

[0030] It should be noted that both the placement platform 1 and the unloading platform 2 can be roller conveyors, as can the track frame 3. The handling mechanism 4 can be a transfer device to move the sheet material from one roller conveyor to another. This transfer device is used to grab or adsorb the sheet material and move it for unloading; it should include at least a lifting device, an adsorption or grabbing device, and a moving device to fulfill this function.

[0031] For the rail-mounted transport mechanism 4, a rail structure should be provided on the rail frame 3, with the transport mechanism 4 and the rail frame 3 slidingly engaged. A drive structure is provided on the rail frame 3 to enable the transport mechanism 4 to move along the rail structure. The transport mechanism 4 should at least include clamping or suction functions, and may also include lifting and rotating functions.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the wood processing equipment in this embodiment includes a circular track frame 3, with the unloading platform 2 and the placement platform 1 arranged around the center, in an evenly distributed manner. The conveying mechanism 4 moves along the track frame 3 to achieve material handling. In the figure, AE represents the placement platform 1, and F represents the unloading platform. Here, the conveying mechanism 4 is slidably mounted on the track frame 3, and its circular motion is driven by a circumferential drive structure; this circumferential drive structure can be a gear transmission structure, a chain transmission structure, or a synchronous belt transmission structure. Alternatively, the conveying mechanism 4 can be fixed to the track frame 3, and its position can be changed by rotating the track frame 3 to drive the conveying mechanism 4 in a circular motion. The conveying mechanism 4 then transports the wood panels and places them sequentially into the unloading platform 1.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, several placement platforms 1 are evenly arranged around the center along the circumference, the track frame 3 includes a main frame 31, and the conveying mechanism 4 is evenly arranged around the main frame 31 along the circumference.

[0036] The track frame 3 also includes several swing arms 32, which are fixed to the main frame 31 by a locking mechanism, allowing the distance between the swing arms 32 to be adjusted. The transport mechanism 4 is mounted on the swing arms 32. The difference from Embodiment 2 is that this embodiment uses a combination of the main frame 31 and the swing arms 32. By driving the main frame 31 to move, the swing arms 32 are rotated. By adjusting the distance between the swing arms 32, different scenarios can be used to adapt to different sizes.

[0037] To further adapt to different scenarios, in another embodiment, the conveying mechanism 4 is slidably mounted on the swing arm and fixed by a positioning mechanism to change the position of the conveying mechanism 4. The position of the conveying mechanism 4 is adjusted according to the position of the placement platform 1. This positioning mechanism can be a lead screw mechanism, driving the conveying mechanism 4 above the placement platform 1 or the unloading platform 2 for loading and unloading.

[0038] Example 4

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the track frame 3 also includes an outer frame 33. A reinforcing arm 34 is provided between the outer frame 33 and the main frame 31. One side of the swing arm 32 is slidably mounted on the reinforcing arm 34. Since some of the sheet metal is quite heavy, the swing arm 32 is prone to deformation. Therefore, the reinforcing arm 34 is provided as a support point, effectively extending the service life of the equipment. A guide rail is provided on the reinforcing arm 34, and a slider is installed on the swing arm 32. The slider slides against the guide rail, making it another support point, which does not affect the movement of the swing arm 32 while improving the overall load-bearing capacity.

[0040] The handling mechanism 4 includes a handling frame 41, a pneumatic suction cup 42 mounted on the handling frame 41, and a lifting drive unit 43. For most sheet materials, the pneumatic suction cup 42 is sufficient for loading.

[0041] This equipment needs to move materials a certain distance. To improve equipment safety, in another embodiment, an auxiliary handling unit 44 is provided on the handling frame 41. The auxiliary handling unit 44 includes a secondary clamping arm 441 slidably disposed on the handling frame 41 and a lead screw drive unit 442, which is connected to the secondary clamping arm 441. After the pneumatic suction cup 42 adsorbs the material, the lead screw drive unit 442 drives the secondary clamping arm 441 to move and clamp the material, which can prevent safety accidents caused by the material falling due to pneumatic failure. The lead screw drive unit is a bidirectional lead screw, that is, when it rotates, the secondary clamping arm will move symmetrically about the center to achieve clamping and releasing.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is described based on Examples 2 to 4:

[0043] First, the center point is located, and the positions of the placement platform 1 and the unloading platform 2 are arranged. Next, the main frame 31 is installed. Based on the positions of the placement platform 1 and the unloading platform 2, the position of the swing arm 32 is set, and the swing arm 32 is connected to the drive structure. A rotating ring is provided at the end of the swing arm 32, and the rotating ring is mounted on the main frame 31 via bearings. The outer side of the rotating ring has teeth, which drive the rotating ring to rotate through meshing. A groove is provided on the rotating ring, and the swing arm 32 is mounted on the groove with bolts. Next, the conveying mechanism 4 is installed on the swing arm 32. For convenient movement, a lead screw module is used to install the conveying mechanism 4 on the swing arm 32. The wiring and other components are connected via slip rings (generally installed on the main frame 31), unaffected by rotation, ensuring normal equipment operation. To enhance structural stability, an outer frame 33 and a reinforcing arm 34 are installed. A slide rail is provided on the reinforcing arm 34, and the upper part of the swing arm 32 is connected to this slide rail via a slider, improving the load-bearing capacity of the swing arm 32. The above connections are mainly made using bolts, with welding used for some connections.

[0044] Taking the processing of 5 boards as an example, during handling, different boards are placed on the corresponding placement platform 1 (AE), and F is the unloading platform 2. The order of processing boards from bottom to top is AE. During operation, the swing arm 32 is first moved above A by rotating it. The lifting drive unit 43 drives the pneumatic suction cup 42 to descend and adsorb the board. (The suction cup 42 has a pressure sensor at its head, which can control the descent height of the lifting drive unit 43). After adsorption, the lifting drive unit 43 drives the pneumatic suction cup 42 to ascend. The position of the pneumatic suction cup 42 can be adjusted according to the size of the board. The air pipe arrangement here also adopts a rotating air ring structure (generally installed on the main frame 31) to avoid the problem of air pipe entanglement caused by rotation. In order to prevent the board from falling due to excessive weight, after adsorption, the lead screw drive unit 442 drives the auxiliary clamping arm 441 to move and clamp the board to prevent it from falling. Next, the board is adsorbed. After all the boards are adsorbed, the conveying mechanism 4 holding board A moves to the unloading machine 2 and places the board on the unloading machine 2. This continues until all the boards are placed by the conveying mechanism 4, completing the board laying. The stacked boards on the unloading machine 2 can then be transported away. Then the conveying mechanism 4 repeats the adsorption process, continuously repeating the adsorption-rotation-unloading action.

[0045] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not described in detail here. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this utility model 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 utility model.
