Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of steel plate processing equipment, specifically to an automatic feeding mechanism for stainless steel plate processing. Background Technology
[0002] Stainless steel sheet, as an important material widely used in various industries, possesses excellent properties such as corrosion resistance, high strength, and high temperature resistance, thus finding widespread application in construction, chemical industry, automobile manufacturing, and many other fields. In the production process of stainless steel sheet, raw materials are usually in the form of coils, which are continuously rolled and processed to form coils of different specifications and thicknesses. While this coil form is convenient for storage and transportation, in practical applications, it requires precise cutting to adapt to different production needs. To meet the requirements of different sizes and shapes, stainless steel coils need further processing through cutting equipment. During this process, due to the large volume and heavy weight of the coils, a specialized feeding mechanism is required to transport the coils from the storage area to the cutting equipment.
[0003] Existing feeding mechanisms for stainless steel sheet processing typically utilize robotic arms, rollers, and conveyor belts to transport the coiled strip. However, these existing feeding mechanisms have certain shortcomings, impacting the efficiency and precision of the entire production process. Traditional feeding mechanisms are prone to strip skewing and slippage during transport, leading to inaccurate positioning of the stainless steel sheet and consequently affecting the accuracy of subsequent cutting processes. This skewing often results in errors in cutting dimensions, impacting product yield. Furthermore, the lack of precise control during feeding makes it difficult to accurately adjust the strip's speed, especially during high-speed production, frequently causing blockages or jams and reducing production line continuity. This not only increases the frequency of manual intervention and reduces production efficiency but also exacerbates equipment wear and shortens its lifespan when handling strips of different specifications, increasing production costs. Additionally, existing feeding mechanisms have limited load-bearing capacity and cannot meet the transport requirements of larger, irregularly shaped stainless steel strips. For thicker and heavier strips, existing equipment often struggles, easily leading to overload or malfunction, and in severe cases, even production stoppage, disrupting the normal operation of the entire production line. No solutions have yet been proposed for the relevant technical issues. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) This utility model is an automatic feeding mechanism for stainless steel plate processing. By setting an adjustment mechanism and a lifting mechanism, it can support and adjust the height of stainless steel plate rolls. It can automatically adjust the feeding method and force according to the size, weight and shape of different types of rolls, reduce the frequency of manual intervention, improve production efficiency, meet the conveying needs of larger specifications and irregular shapes of stainless steel rolls, and solve the existing problems that cause equipment overload or failure, and even production stoppage in severe cases.
[0015] (2) This utility model is an automatic feeding mechanism for stainless steel plate processing. By setting a lateral adjustment mechanism, the distance between the two moving plates can be adjusted. The starting motor drives the bidirectional screw to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. When the bidirectional screw rotates, it drives the two moving plates that are threaded with it to move closer or further apart. The stainless steel plate roll can be limited by the limiting mechanism. The handwheel is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to make the bidirectional screw fixedly connected to it rotate. When the bidirectional screw rotates, it drives the two limiting posts connected to it to move closer or further apart. This can effectively prevent the stainless steel roll from deflecting and slipping during the conveying process. The roll can always maintain the correct position, greatly reducing the cutting error caused by deflection, thereby improving the product accuracy and pass rate.
[0016] (3) This utility model is an automatic feeding mechanism for stainless steel plate processing. By setting a conveying mechanism, stainless steel plates can be conveyed.

Since the first and second transmission rollers are respectively attached to the stainless steel plate roll, the first and second transmission rollers can convey the stainless steel plate when rotating. The conveying speed can be adaptively adjusted according to the rolls of different specifications and weights to ensure the efficient operation of the production line. The high-speed and stable feeding system not only reduces the phenomenon of blockage and jamming, but also improves the continuity of production, ensures the smooth operation of the production line, reduces manual intervention, significantly improves production efficiency, shortens the production cycle, reduces labor costs, reduces equipment failure rate, and reduces maintenance costs, thereby achieving a lower overall production cost.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0022] Example
[0023] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model proposes a technical solution for an automatic feeding mechanism for stainless steel plate processing: An automatic feeding mechanism for stainless steel plate processing includes a base 1, a horizontal adjustment mechanism on the top of the base 1, two movable plates 2 on the horizontal adjustment mechanism, a conveying mechanism on the movable plates 2, a support 4 between the two conveying mechanisms, a lifting mechanism on the support 4, and lifting plates 5 on both sides of the support 4, each lifting plate 5 having an adjustment mechanism. Specifically, the horizontal adjustment mechanism can adjust the distance between the two movable plates 2, the transmission mechanism can transport the stainless steel plate raw material, the support 4 provides support, the lifting mechanism can adjust the height of the lifting plates 5, and the adjustment mechanism can support the stainless steel plate.
[0024] The conveying mechanism includes a second motor 8, a first transmission roller 9, and a second transmission roller 10. The second motor 8 is fixedly mounted on the movable plate 2. The first transmission roller 9 and the second transmission roller 10 are both mounted on the movable plate 2 and movably connected to the movable plate 2. One end of the first transmission roller 9 and the second transmission roller 10 is fixedly connected to a first sprocket. The output end of the second motor 8 is fixedly connected to a second sprocket. The first sprocket and the second sprocket are connected by a first chain 11. Specifically, by starting the second motor 8, the first transmission roller 9 and the second transmission roller 10 can be driven to rotate synchronously, thereby conveying the stainless steel plate.
[0025] The adjustment mechanism includes a motor 3, guide wheels 17, belt 18, rotating plate 19, and auxiliary wheels 20. The motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the lifting plate 5. There are two guide wheels 17 and two auxiliary wheels 20, which are movably connected to the lifting plate 5. Each guide wheel 17 is fixedly fitted with a pulley, and the two pulleys are connected by belt 18. The rotating plate 19 is movably connected to both the guide wheels 17 and the auxiliary wheels 20. Specifically, starting the motor 3 can synchronously drive the two guide wheels 17 to rotate. Since the guide wheels 17 are movably connected to the rotating plate 19, the rotating plates 19 are driven to rotate when the guide wheels 17 rotate. Since the auxiliary wheels 20 are connected to the rotating plate 19, the rotating plates 19 are driven to rotate when they rotate. The guide wheels 17 and the auxiliary wheels 20 can support the rotating plate 19.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the lateral adjustment mechanism further includes a motor 6 and a bidirectional screw 7. The motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the base 1. One end of the bidirectional screw 7 is fixedly connected to the motor 6, and the other end of the bidirectional screw 7 is movably connected to the base 1. The bottom end of the movable plate 2 is respectively sleeved on both ends of the bidirectional screw 7 and threadedly engaged with the bidirectional screw 7.
[0027] In this embodiment, the starting motor 6 drives the bidirectional screw 7 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. When the bidirectional screw 7 rotates, it drives the two moving plates 2 that are threaded with it to move closer to each other or further apart.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the lifting mechanism further includes a motor 12, a rotating rod 13, a rotating rod 14, a guide rail 15, and a slider 16. The motor 12 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 4. The rotating rod 13 and the rotating rod 24 are both mounted on the bracket 4 and are movably connected to the bracket 4. Both ends of the rotating rod 13 are provided with sprockets 3, and both ends of the rotating rod 24 are provided with sprockets 4. The sprockets 3 and sprockets 4 are connected by chains 24. The two chains 24 are fixedly connected to a lifting plate 5 respectively. Guide rails 15 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the bracket 4. Several sliders 16 are provided on the guide rails 15, and the sliders 16 are fixedly connected to the lifting plate 5.
[0029] In this embodiment, the motor 12 is started, which drives the rotating rod 13 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the sprocket 3 on the rotating rod 13 and the sprocket 4 on the rotating rod 14 are connected by the chain 24, the rotating rod 13 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate when it rotates. The chain 24 drives a lifting plate 5 connected to it to move up and down when it rotates. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the lifting plate 5, it can be achieved by moving the slider 16 on the guide rail 15.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, a limit mechanism is further provided on the movable plate 2.
[0031] In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism can effectively prevent the steel plate from tilting during the transmission process.
[0032] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the limiting mechanism further includes a support plate 21, a bidirectional screw 22, a limiting post 23, and an auxiliary rod. The support plate 21 is fixedly installed on the movable plate 2. One end of the bidirectional screw 22 is movably connected to the support plate 21, and the other end of the bidirectional screw 22 passes through the support plate 21 and is fixedly connected to a handwheel. Both ends of the bidirectional screw 22 are fitted with limiting posts 23, and the limiting posts 23 and the bidirectional screw 22 are threaded together. Both ends of the auxiliary rod are fixedly connected to the support plate 21, and one end of the limiting post 23 is fitted onto the auxiliary rod and is movably connected to the auxiliary rod.
[0033] In this embodiment, the support plate 21 serves as a support. Rotating the handwheel clockwise or counterclockwise causes the bidirectional screw 22, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate. When the bidirectional screw 22 rotates, it causes the two limiting posts 23 connected to it to move closer to each other or further apart.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the limiting mechanism is further provided in two sets, and is arranged symmetrically.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model:
[0036] First, the stainless steel sheet roll is supported by the adjustment mechanism on the lifting plate 5. Then, the motor 43 is started, which can synchronously drive the two guide wheels 17 to rotate. Since the guide wheels 17 are movably connected to the rotating plate 19, the rotating plate 19 is driven to rotate when the guide wheels 17 rotate. When the opening on the rotating plate 19 is facing down, the rotating plate 19 stops rotating. The stainless steel sheet roll is then placed in. Then, the motor 43 is started, which drives the rotating plate 19 to rotate. When the opening on the rotating plate 19 is facing up, the motor 43 stops working. Since the auxiliary wheel 20 is connected to the rotating plate 19, the auxiliary wheel 20 is driven to rotate when the rotating plate 19 rotates.
[0037] The height of the stainless steel sheet roll can be adjusted by the lifting mechanism. Start the motor 12 to drive the rotating rod 13, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate. Since the sprocket 3 on the rotating rod 13 and the sprocket 4 on the rotating rod 24 are connected by the chain 24, the rotating rod 13 drives the rotating rod 24 to rotate when it rotates. When the chain 24 rotates, it drives a lifting plate 5 connected to it to move up and down. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the lifting plate 5, it can be achieved by moving the slider 16 on the guide rail 15.
[0038] The distance between the two moving plates 2 can be adjusted by the lateral adjustment mechanism. The starting motor 6 drives the bidirectional screw 7 to rotate clockwise. When the bidirectional screw 7 rotates, it drives the two moving plates 2 that are threaded with it to move closer to each other.
[0039] The stainless steel sheet roll can be limited by the limiting mechanism. The support plate 21 plays a supporting role. Turning the handwheel clockwise will cause the bidirectional screw 22 fixedly connected to it to rotate. When the bidirectional screw 22 rotates, it will drive the two limiting posts 23 connected to it to move closer to each other, so that the two limiting posts 23 are in contact with both sides of the stainless steel sheet roll.
[0040] The stainless steel sheet is transported by the conveying mechanism. When the second motor 8 is started, the first transmission roller 9 and the second transmission roller 10 can be driven to rotate synchronously. Since the first transmission roller 9 and the second transmission roller 10 are respectively attached to the stainless steel sheet roll, the stainless steel sheet can be transported when the first transmission roller 9 and the second transmission roller 10 rotate.
