Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of this application disclose an automatic pad feeding machine, including a first mounting frame 1. The bottom of the first mounting frame 1 is provided with a hydraulic platform 2 and a first hydraulic drive mechanism that drives the hydraulic platform 2 to perform lifting and lowering movements. The upper part of the first mounting frame 1 is provided with a horizontal drive module 3 along the X-axis direction. The drive end of the horizontal drive module 3 is provided with a push rod 4, and the front end of the push rod 4 is provided with a push block 5.

[0025] The first mounting frame 1 is provided with a roller machine 6 and a second hydraulic drive mechanism 7 for driving the roller machine 6 to perform lifting and lowering movements. The roller machine 6 is provided with a plurality of rollers 61, so that the pad can move along the Y-axis direction through the rollers 61.

[0026] When push block 5 moves forward, push block 5 pushes the pad onto multiple rollers 61.

[0027] In practice, the operator places the pad on the hydraulic platform 2 and activates the first hydraulic drive mechanism. The hydraulic platform 2 raises the pad to the same height as the push block 5. Subsequently, the horizontal drive module 3 is activated, driving the push rod 4 forward along the X-axis, and the push block 5 pushes the pad towards the roller 6. When the pad is pushed onto the roller 61 of the roller 6, the second hydraulic drive mechanism 7 is activated, driving the roller 6 to descend. The pad is then manually pushed, allowing it to move along the Y-axis on the roller 61 and proceed to the next workstation.

[0028] The aforementioned structure enables fully automated pad loading, eliminating the need for direct manual intervention and significantly improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, the precisely controlled hydraulic platform 2 and horizontal drive module 3 ensure the stability and accuracy of pad loading, preventing safety hazards caused by improper operation. Furthermore, this automatic pad loading machine has a compact structure, is easy to maintain and service, and reduces operating costs for businesses.

[0029] In this embodiment, the hydraulic platform 2 has a U-shaped structure.

[0030] Specifically, during stacking and loading, a forklift is manually pushed into the hydraulic platform 2, allowing the forklift's forks to move into the U-shaped structure of the hydraulic platform 2. This facilitates the forklift stacking the pallets onto the hydraulic platform 2. When the hydraulic platform 2 rises, the forklift's forks can retract from the opening of the U-shaped structure without interfering with the hydraulic platform 2, ensuring smooth pallet stacking and loading. Furthermore, the U-shaped hydraulic platform 2 possesses high strength and stability, capable of supporting heavy pallets, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the equipment.

[0031] In this embodiment, the roller machine 6 includes a second mounting frame 62 and a third mounting frame 63. Multiple rollers 61 are rotatably connected to the second mounting frame 62. Multiple support blocks 64 are provided on the upper surface of the third mounting frame 63. A guide post 65 is provided on one side of the third mounting frame 63. A U-shaped groove 66 with its opening facing downward is provided on one side of the second mounting frame 62. The guide post 65 is located in the U-shaped groove 66. When the guide post 65 is located at the upper end of the U-shaped groove 66, the support block 64 extends out of the upper end face of the roller 61. When the guide post 65 is located at the lower end of the U-shaped groove 66, the support block 64 is lower than the upper end face of the roller 61. The second hydraulic drive mechanism 7 is used to drive the third mounting frame 63 to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0032] During operation, the roller machine 6 is in an upward state, the guide column 65 is located at the upper end of the U-shaped groove 66, and the pad is pushed onto the support block 64. Then, the second hydraulic drive mechanism 7 is used to drive the third mounting frame 63 to descend. After descending to the bottom, the bottom ends of the second mounting frame 62 and the third mounting frame 63 are flush. At this time, the guide column 65 is located at the lower end of the U-shaped groove 66, that is, the support block 64 is lower than the upper surface of the roller 61. At this time, the pad is manually pushed forward to the next station.

[0033] The aforementioned roller conveyor 6 structure not only provides stable support for the pad on the roller conveyor 6, but also ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the roller conveyor 6 during lifting and lowering through the cooperation of the guide column 65 and the U-shaped groove 66. When the roller conveyor 6 rises, the guide column 65 slides upward along the U-shaped groove 66, and the support block 64 extends out of the upper end face of the roller 61, providing stable support for the pad; when the roller conveyor 6 descends, the guide column 65 slides downward along the U-shaped groove 66, and the support block 64 descends accordingly, below the upper end face of the roller 61, avoiding interference between the pad and the support block 64 during the pushing process, and ensuring that the pad can move smoothly along the direction of the roller 61 to the next station. This design not only improves the efficiency and stability of pad loading, but also further enhances the automation level and ease of operation of the equipment.

[0034] In this embodiment, blocking columns 8 are provided at the four corners of the hydraulic platform 2, and guide plates 9 are provided on the side of the blocking columns 8 facing the hydraulic platform 2.

[0035] Specifically, the guide plate 9 is designed to guide and limit the pad during the pushing process of the pusher block 5, preventing the pad from shifting or falling off during the pushing process. A certain angle is formed between the guide plate 9 and the hydraulic platform 2, ensuring that the pad can move stably along the direction of the guide plate 9 when pushed, thus ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the pad loading.

[0036] In this embodiment, one side of the push block 5 is a mounting part, the mounting part is provided with a vertical groove 51, the push rod 4 is provided with a mounting hole, and also includes a fixing screw 10 that passes through the vertical groove 51 and the mounting hole in sequence.

[0037] Specifically, in this structure, the position of the push block 5 on the push rod 4 can be easily adjusted through the cooperation of the vertical groove 51 and the fixing screw 10 to accommodate pads of different sizes and specifications. This design not only improves the flexibility and applicability of the equipment, but also facilitates the adjustment and operation by the operator.

[0038] In this embodiment, a photoelectric detection sensor 11 is provided on one side of the blocking column 8 to detect whether there is a pad on the hydraulic platform 2.

[0039] Specifically, the photoelectric detection sensor 11 can monitor the presence status of the pad on the hydraulic platform 2 in real time. When a pad is placed on the hydraulic platform 2, the photoelectric detection sensor 11 can send a signal indicating that the pad is in place and the subsequent feeding process can be started. This setting effectively avoids production interruptions caused by misoperation or equipment failure, ensuring the continuity and stability of the pad feeding process. At the same time, the use of the photoelectric detection sensor 11 also improves the intelligence level of the equipment, making the entire feeding process more automated and efficient.

[0040] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
