Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sheet material feeding equipment, and in particular to a rotary four-station composite sheet feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Metal composite panels are made by covering one metal sheet with another, achieving resource conservation and cost reduction without compromising performance (corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, etc.). Currently, metal composite panels are widely used in equipment processing and manufacturing.

[0003] During the processing and production of equipment, composite panels are usually stacked together to form a pallet. During the production process, a loading robot is used to pick up and transfer the panels to complete the loading work. However, in some cases, multiple sizes and models of composite panels need to be processed simultaneously, which often increases the difficulty of loading. Currently, some manufacturers often use manual loading when multiple different sizes and models of panels need to be processed at the same time. This allows for the rapid loading of different composite panels, but it often increases the labor intensity and results in lower production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

The adsorption unit includes two suction nozzles arranged in an alternating manner, and a contact sensor is provided between the suction nozzles.

[0010] Furthermore, the hopper assembly includes a plurality of positioning rods arranged in a predetermined shape, and the surfaces of the plurality of positioning rods and the turntable mechanism define the placement space; and the perforation is formed on the surface of the turntable mechanism and penetrates the surface of the turntable mechanism so that the push rod can pass through.

[0011] Furthermore, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning rod, and a first adjustment groove with a countersunk structure is provided on the mounting base along its length direction, allowing the fastener to pass through the first adjustment groove and be detachably connected to the turntable mechanism. When the fastener is in the relaxed state, it moves in a limited position along the length direction of the first adjustment groove to adjust the shape of each placement space.

[0012] Furthermore, the moving component includes:

[0013] A lifting cylinder, wherein the cylinder body is fixedly mounted on the bracket;

[0014] A rotary cylinder is driven to the upward-extending drive end of the lifting cylinder, and the material-picking rod is driven to the output end of the rotary cylinder and is driven by the rotary cylinder to rotate around the axis of the output end of the rotary cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, the middle section of the material-taking rod is connected to the rotary cylinder, and both ends of the material-taking rod are equipped with the adsorption unit.

[0016] Furthermore, the adsorption unit also includes a connecting rod, which includes at least two corresponding to the suction nozzle, and the at least two connecting rods are arranged side by side. A second adjustment groove is formed on the connecting rod along its length, and a fastener passes through the second adjustment groove and is detachably connected to the connecting rod.

[0017] Furthermore, a peeling unit is also provided on the material handling device. The peeling unit is mounted on the support and is used to agitate the composite plates that are being sucked up and stuck together. The peeling unit includes:

[0018] Mounting plate, one end of which is fixedly mounted on the bracket, and the other end extends toward the turntable and is set in a vertical position. A third adjustment groove extending in an arc shape is provided on the vertical surface of the mounting plate.

[0019] A stripping cylinder, one end of the cylinder body is rotatably connected to the center of the third adjusting groove on the mounting plate, and a sliding member with a limit slid connection is provided within the third adjusting groove.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0025] This utility model provides a rotary four-station composite board loading machine, capable of simultaneously processing various types and sizes of composite boards. Multiple hopper components are arranged at the edge of the turntable mechanism, allowing for the separate loading of composite boards of different sizes. As the turntable mechanism rotates at equal intervals, the hopper components carrying different types of composite boards are sequentially moved to the corresponding positions of the loading device, enabling the loading of composite boards of different sizes. Through the technical solution provided by this utility model, multiple hopper components for holding composite boards of different sizes are arranged on the turntable structure, and under the drive of the turntable mechanism, they can sequentially flow to the positions corresponding to the loading device, thereby realizing the loading of composite boards of different sizes. During the loading process, only the operator needs to operate the equipment and replenish the composite boards in the hopper components; they do not need to participate in the actual loading action, thus reducing the labor intensity of the operator and improving the loading efficiency.

[0026] During the feeding process, multiple equally spaced hopper components located on the edge of the turntable mechanism are used to hold different types of composite boards. Each hopper component has a perforation at the bottom of the placement space, allowing the push rod to rise under the drive of the lifting device after the turntable mechanism rotates a hopper component to a position corresponding to the lifting component. This lifts the composite boards stacked within the placement space, facilitating the grabbing device to grasp them. The adsorption unit is located at the end of the grabbing rod, and the moving unit is connected to the grabbing rod, driving the grabbing rod to move and complete the transfer feeding operation. During the adsorption unit's grabbing process, the contact sensor located in the middle of the suction nozzle emits an electrical signal after contacting the composite board, indicating that the suction nozzle has contacted and adsorbed the composite board. This prevents excessive contact force between the suction nozzle and the composite board under the drive of the moving component, thus avoiding damage to the suction nozzle or the composite board and ensuring the safety of the feeding operation. In this embodiment, four hopper components are provided, capable of loading four different sizes of composite boards. Similarly, in other embodiments, three, five, or more components can be provided depending on the actual situation to facilitate processing and production. This technical solution reduces operator involvement during the loading process, thereby lowering operator workload and improving loading efficiency. Simultaneously, the lifting component facilitates material handling by the material-retrieving device, and contact sensors between the suction nozzles detect material movement during loading, preventing excessive contact force that could damage the nozzles or composite boards during retrieving, thus ensuring the safety of the loading operation.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0037] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in the embodiments of this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

[0038] This utility model embodiment provides a rotary four-station composite board loading machine, capable of simultaneously processing various types and sizes of composite boards. Multiple hopper components 300 are arranged at the edge of the turntable mechanism 110, allowing different types of composite boards to be loaded. As the turntable mechanism 110 rotates at equal intervals, the hopper components 300, each containing a different type of composite board, are sequentially moved to the corresponding position on the picking device 400, enabling the loading of composite boards of different sizes. Through the technical solution provided by this utility model embodiment, multiple hopper components 300 for holding composite boards of different sizes are arranged on the turntable structure, and under the drive of the turntable mechanism 110, they can sequentially flow to the corresponding position on the picking device 400, thereby realizing the loading of composite boards of different sizes. During the loading process, only the operator needs to operate the equipment and replenish the composite boards in the hopper components 300; they do not need to participate in the actual loading action, thus reducing the labor intensity of the operator and improving the loading efficiency.

[0039] like Figure 1-7As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, a rotary four-station composite plate loading machine is provided, including a machine base 100, on which a turntable mechanism 110 is arranged. The machine base 100 is characterized by further including a hopper assembly 300, a lifting assembly 300, and a material handling device 400. The hopper assembly 300 comprises multiple hoppers evenly spaced along the edge of the turntable mechanism 110, each having a placement space 201 for stacking composite plates of different sizes and models. The multiple hopper assemblies 300 rotate with the turntable mechanism 110 in a predetermined rotation direction. The lifting assembly 300 is disposed inside the machine base 100 and below the turntable mechanism 110, used to guide the hopper assemblies 300 rotated to a position corresponding to the lifting assembly 300. The composite board is lifted upwards. The lifting assembly includes a push rod 310 and a lifting drive device 320 that drives the push rod 310 to reciprocate in the vertical direction. Correspondingly, the bottom of the hopper is formed with through holes 111 for the push rod 310 to pass through and lift the composite board. The picking device 400 is located on the machine platform 100 next to the turntable mechanism 110 and is used to pick up the composite board in the hopper for transfer. The picking device 400 includes a moving assembly 410 mounted on a bracket 401. The moving assembly 410 is connected to a picking rod 402. The end of the picking rod 402 is provided with an adsorption unit 420. The adsorption unit 420 includes two suction nozzles 421 arranged alternately, and a contact sensor 422 is provided between the suction nozzles 421.

[0040] During the feeding process, multiple equally spaced hopper components 300 located on the edge of the turntable mechanism 110 are used to hold different types of composite boards. A through hole 111 is provided on the bottom of each hopper component 300, allowing the push rod 310 to rise under the drive of the lifting drive device 320 after the turntable mechanism 110 rotates a hopper component 300 to a position corresponding to the lifting component 300. This lifts the composite boards stacked within the placement space 201, facilitating gripping by the material handling device 400. The adsorption unit 420 is located... At the end of the picking rod 402, and with the moving unit connected to it in a transmission manner, the picking rod 402 can be driven to move, thereby completing the transfer and loading operation. During the material picking process of the adsorption unit 420, the contact sensor 422 located in the middle of the suction nozzle 421 emits an electrical signal after contacting the composite plate, indicating that the suction nozzle 421 has contacted the composite plate and adsorbed it. This avoids excessive contact force between the suction nozzle 421 and the composite plate under the drive of the moving component 410, which could cause damage to the suction nozzle 421 or the composite plate, thus ensuring the safety of the loading operation. In this embodiment, four hopper components 300 are provided, which can load four different sizes of composite plates. Similarly, in other embodiments, three, five, or more components can be provided according to actual needs to facilitate processing and production. This technical solution reduces operator involvement during the material loading process, thereby lowering operator workload and improving loading efficiency. Furthermore, the lifting assembly 300 facilitates material handling by the material handling device 400, and contact sensors 422 are installed between the suction nozzles 421 to detect material handling during loading, preventing excessive contact force that could damage the nozzles 421 or composite plate during material handling, thus ensuring the safety of the loading operation.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-3 The hopper assembly 300 includes a plurality of positioning rods 202 arranged in a predetermined shape. The positioning rods 202 and the surface of the turntable mechanism 110 define a placement space 201. A through hole 111 is formed on the surface of the turntable mechanism 110 and penetrates the surface of the turntable mechanism to allow the push rod 310 to pass through. In this embodiment, a hopper assembly 300 is constructed by six positioning rods 202, thereby defining a placement space 201 for holding composite boards. By setting six positioning rods 202 to form the edge of the placement space 201, the composite boards placed in the placement space 201 can be restricted, ensuring that they can be stably stacked within it.

[0042] Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the quick and easy adjustment of the shape of the placement space 201 of a hopper assembly 300 so as to adapt to and accommodate composite boards of different sizes, in this embodiment, the bottom of the positioning rod 202 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 203. A first adjustment groove 204 with a countersunk structure is provided on the mounting base 203 along its length direction, allowing fasteners to pass through the first adjustment groove 204 and be detachably connected to the turntable mechanism 110. When the fasteners are in the relaxed state, they are limited to move along the length direction of the first adjustment groove 204 to adjust the shape of each placement space 201.

[0043] In other words, by reorienting the fasteners, the fixing members can be moved along the length of the first adjustment groove, thereby changing the shape and size of the placement space 201 defined by the positioning rod 202, so as to accommodate the placement of composite panels of more sizes and improve the performance of the equipment.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 4-5 As shown, in order to facilitate the adsorption unit 420 to pick up the composite plate, the moving component 410 includes a lifting cylinder 411 and a rotating cylinder 412. The lifting cylinder 411 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 401. The rotating cylinder 412 is driven by the upward-extending drive end of the lifting cylinder 411, and the picking rod 402 is driven by the output end of the rotating cylinder 412 and is driven by the rotating cylinder 412 to rotate around the axis of the output end of the rotating cylinder 412.

[0045] When the composite plate needs to be adsorbed within the hopper assembly 300, the lifting cylinder 411 drives the rotary cylinder 412 and the material picker to descend, causing the adsorption unit 420 to move towards the composite plate. This allows the suction nozzle 421 to gradually come into contact with the composite plate. At this time, to facilitate the suction nozzle 421 in easily picking up the composite plate, the lifting assembly 300 lifts the composite plate located within the placement space 201, causing the suction nozzle 421 and the composite plate to move and come into contact, thus completing the adsorption of the composite plate. Simultaneously, to avoid collisions between the lifting cylinder 411 and the lifting assembly... Under the interaction of components 300, excessive force may cause damage to the composite plate and the suction nozzle 421. Position detection and identification can be achieved through the contact sensor 422. After the contact sensor 422 is triggered and emits an electrical signal, the control system stops the opposing movement of the lifting cylinder 411 and the lifting assembly 300, and performs a reset movement. At this time, the lifting cylinder 411 raises the rotary cylinder 412, thereby grabbing and lifting the adsorbed composite plate. The lifting assembly 300 retracts, causing the push rod 310 to be pushed out within the perforation 111, avoiding interference with the rotational movement of the turntable mechanism 110. The rotary cylinder 412 drives the picking rod 402 to rotate, thereby transferring the adsorbed composite plate towards the outer direction of the turntable mechanism 110, thus completing the loading operation.

[0046] In this embodiment, to improve the efficiency of the feeding operation, the middle section of the picking rod 402 is connected to the rotary cylinder, and both ends of the picking rod 402 are equipped with adsorption units 420. By setting two adsorption units 420, the simultaneous picking up of the composite board and the unloading of the composite board can be realized. The dual-station feeding method can greatly improve the feeding process.

[0047] In this embodiment, to enable the adsorption unit 420 to adsorb composite panels of different sizes, the adsorption unit 420 further includes connecting rods 422. Each connecting rod 422 has at least two rods corresponding to the suction nozzles 421, arranged side-by-side. A second adjustment groove 423 is formed along the length of each connecting rod 422, and a fastener passes through the second adjustment groove 423 and is detachably connected to the connecting rod 422. In this embodiment, two connecting rods 422 are arranged side-by-side, and the ends of the two connecting rods 422 with the suction nozzles 421 extend in opposite directions. When the distance between the two suction nozzles 421 is adjusted, the two suction nozzles 421 can adsorb composite panels of different sizes. The specific adjustment method of the connecting rods 422 is the same as that of the mounting base 203, and will not be described again.

[0048] In this embodiment, to prevent the two composite plates from sticking together when the adsorption unit 420 adsorbs the composite plate, a peeling unit 430 is also provided on the feeding device 400. The peeling unit 430 is mounted on the support 401 to pry the adsorbed and stuck composite plates, so that the other plate located on the underside of the adsorbed composite plate is detached, ensuring that only one composite plate is fed at a time. The peeling unit 430 includes a mounting plate 431 and a peeling cylinder 433, wherein one end of the mounting plate 431 is fixed to the mounting cylinder. Mounted on bracket 401, with one end extending vertically towards turntable, and a third adjustment groove 432 extending in an arc shape is provided on the vertical surface of mounting plate 431; one end of the peeling cylinder 433 is rotatably connected to the center of the third adjustment groove 432 on mounting plate 431, and a sliding member with a limit sliding connection is provided within the third adjustment groove 432; a material-pulling rod 434 extending towards the adsorption unit 420 corresponding to the hopper is drivenly connected to peeling cylinder 433.

[0049] When the adsorption unit 420 adsorbs the composite plate and raises it to a predetermined height, the peeling cylinder 433 extends the feeding rod 434, allowing it to contact the adsorbed composite plate and cause it to vibrate. The composite plate on the lower side then separates under the vibration, ensuring that only one composite plate is adsorbed. It is conceivable that after the adsorption unit 420 rises to the predetermined height, the gap between the adsorbed composite plate and the stack of composite plates is insufficient to prevent the peeled composite plate from falling outside the placement space 201 or tilting, ensuring that the peeled composite plate falls onto the stack of composite plates. To adjust the tilt angle of the peeling cylinder 433, a sliding member slidably connected within the third adjustment groove 432 can be used to change the tilt angle of the feeding rod 434, enabling the separation of composite plates of different sizes. In this embodiment, the sliding member is constructed of bolts, allowing the position of the peeling cylinder 433 to be locked after adjusting it to a suitable angle.

[0050] In this embodiment, the lifting drive device 320 is used to drive the push rod 310 to rise, thereby lifting the composite board stack located within the hopper assembly 300 for easy grabbing. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 6-7As shown, the lifting drive device 320 includes a vertical plate 321, a drive shaft 322, and a lifting motor. The vertical plate 321 is vertically mounted within the machine base 100 and located below the turntable mechanism 110. The push rod 310 is slidably connected to the vertical plate 321. The drive shaft 322 includes two shafts rotatably connected to both ends of the vertical plate 321, and a synchronous belt 323 is mounted on each of the two drive shafts 322. The lower end of the push rod 310 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 323. The lifting motor is driven by one of the drive shafts 322 to drive the synchronous belt 323 around the two drive shafts 322. In other words, the push rod 310 is driven by the drive belt system, thereby achieving the lifting function. The motor-driven synchronous belt 323 can transmit a large amount of power, which can lift the heavy composite board stacks for easy picking. At the same time, it can also improve the lifting accuracy of the composite board stacks when they are lifted.

[0051] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be obtained based on the structure and principles disclosed in this utility model, and all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
