Its main function is to stably and safely transport the sheet metal sheets in the material storage to the designated processing position.

[0003] During sheet metal conveying, existing sheet metal conveying devices lack effective limit adjustment structures. This allows the sheet metal to easily shift to either side due to factors such as conveyor belt vibration, incoming material position deviation, or external interference, resulting in sheet metal misalignment. When both front and rear sheets are misaligned, excessive compression occurs between the sheets, and the edges of the sheet metal may collide with fixed components, causing edge deformation, surface scratches, and other problems, thus reducing the production quality of the sheet metal. Therefore, we provide a sheet metal unloading and conveying mechanism for a sheet metal material storage unit. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Existing sheet metal conveying devices often lack the ability to effectively limit the movement of sheet metal on both sides, which can reduce conveying stability. This embodiment provides a sheet metal unloading and conveying mechanism for a sheet metal storage unit. This mechanism can limit the movement of sheet metal on both sides of sheets of different sizes as needed, preventing misalignment during conveying. This improves both conveying stability and production quality. Please refer to... Figure 1 - Figure 6The sheet metal material warehouse's sheet metal unloading and conveying mechanism includes a conveyor table 1 equipped with a conveyor belt. The conveyor table 1 consists of four segmented platforms, flexibly adapting to different production scenarios according to the sheet metal conveying requirements. This facilitates segmented conveying control for sheet metal sheets of different lengths and specifications, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the conveying process. Simultaneously, the segmented design also facilitates equipment installation, maintenance, and repair. When a segment malfunctions, it can be addressed individually, reducing the impact of overall downtime for maintenance. The conveyor table 1 is equipped with a limiting mechanism 2 for stabilizing the conveying of the sheet metal sheets, and a debris removal mechanism 3 for removing debris from the conveyor belt surface. The limiting mechanism 2 can limit the sheet metal sheets on both sides, preventing deviation during conveying and improving conveying stability. It also reduces collisions with the sheet metal sheets, enhancing conveying safety. The debris removal mechanism 3 prevents debris from scratching the sheet metal surface and affecting its production quality, and also collects debris.

[0029] During the sheet metal conveying process, existing sheet metal conveying devices lack effective limit adjustment structures. The sheet metal is easily affected by factors such as conveyor belt vibration, incoming material position deviation, or external force interference, resulting in lateral displacement and misalignment of the sheet metal, which reduces the conveying stability of the sheet metal. At the same time, the edges of the sheet metal may also collide with fixed components, causing problems such as edge deformation and surface scratches, which reduces the production quality of the sheet metal. In order to solve the above problems...The limiting mechanism 2 includes multiple sets of asynchronous motors 21 installed on the side of the conveyor table 1. Multiple sets of grooves 22 corresponding to the positions of the asynchronous motors 21 are formed at the top of the conveyor table 1. These grooves 22 are distributed below the conveyor belt, providing installation space for core components of the limiting mechanism 2, such as the lead screw 23. This allows the lead screw 23 to be hidden inside the conveyor table 1, avoiding interference with the conveyor belt and sheet metal. This ensures that the limiting mechanism 2, without affecting the normal operation of the conveyor belt, drives the moving connecting frame 24 via the lead screw 23 to achieve limiting adjustment of the sheet metal, ensuring the coordination and stability of the overall mechanism operation. The output end of the asynchronous motor 21 is connected to the lead screw 22, which is rotatably connected inside the groove 22. 3. The outer walls of the lead screw 23 are threaded to both ends with movable connecting frames 24. Limiting grooves 25 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the movable connecting frame 24. These limiting grooves 25 are symmetrically distributed on the upper and lower ends of the inner side of the movable connecting frame 24, providing stable sliding guidance for the sliding frame 26. This ensures that the sliding frame 26 can move smoothly along the limiting grooves 25, preventing the sliding frame 26 from shifting or shaking under force. This ensures the stability of the limiting component 29's limiting direction on the sheet metal plate, improving the overall structural stability of the limiting mechanism 2. Multiple sliding frames 26 are connected between the two sets of upper and lower limiting grooves 25. A buffer spring connects the middle sliding frame 26 to the sliding frames 26 on either side of it. When the limiting component 29 is impacted... At times, the sliding frame 26 can swing under the action of the rotating rod 28, and the sliding frame 26 can slide in the moving connecting frame 24. The spring will stretch at this time to buffer the impact. When the impact is lost, the spring will retract to reset the sliding frame 26, thereby resetting the limiting member 29. That is, the limiting member 29 will swing left and right with the impact, and the swing will reset under the action of the buffer spring. A fixed rod 27 is installed on the inner side of the sliding frame 26. Multiple sets of rotating rods 28 are rotatably installed on the fixed rod 27. The multiple sets of rotating rods 28 are all made of high-strength steel. Utilizing the high strength and high rigidity of high-strength steel, it is ensured that the rotating rods 28 can support the limiting member 29 and rotate with the sheet metal plate. The limiting mechanism 2 can withstand the pressure and force from the sheet metal without easily bending, deforming, or breaking, thus maintaining its structural stability and normal working condition and ensuring the continuous effectiveness of its limiting function on the sheet metal. The other end of the rotating rod 28 is movably equipped with a limiting component 29, which is made of elastic material. When in contact with the edge of the sheet metal, the limiting component 29 buffers the impact force through its own elastic deformation, avoiding deformation of the sheet metal edge or scratches on the surface due to rigid collision, thereby protecting the integrity of the sheet metal and improving safety during the transmission process. At the same time, the elastic material can better adapt to the slight irregularities that may exist on the edge of the sheet metal, ensuring the stability of the limiting effect.Multiple asynchronous motors 21 on the side of the conveyor 1 are started, driving the lead screw 23 in the corresponding groove 22 to rotate. Since the threads at both ends of the outer wall of the lead screw 23 are opposite, the movable connecting frame 24 connected to it will move relative to or away from the lead screw 23, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sides according to the width of the sheet metal plate. The sliding frame 26 in the upper and lower limit grooves 25 inside the movable connecting frame 24 is connected to the rotating rod 28 through the fixed rod 27. The limit member 29 at the end of the rotating rod 28 contacts the edge of the sheet metal plate. The rotation of the rotating rod 28 converts the sliding friction into rolling friction to reduce wear and limit the offset of the sheet metal plate. The buffer spring and the elastic material limit member 29 between the middle sliding frame 26 and the two side sliding frames 26 can provide buffer when the sheet metal plate shakes or collides, avoiding damage caused by rigid contact, and achieving stable and safe limit transmission.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, existing sheet metal conveying devices are not easy to limit the sides of the sheet metal, which can easily reduce the conveying stability of the sheet metal. However, during the long-term operation of the conveyor belt in the conveying device, metal shavings, dust and other debris are easily attached to its surface. Existing conveying mechanisms usually do not have a special debris removal and collection device. These debris will continuously circulate with the conveyor belt. When they come into contact with the sheet metal, they can easily cause scratches, indentations and other damage to the surface of the sheet metal, affecting the surface quality of the sheet metal. At the same time, the accumulation of debris may also aggravate the wear of the conveyor belt and affect its transmission stability. Therefore, this device is also equipped with a structure to remove debris from the conveyor belt.

[0032] During the long-term operation of the conveyor device, metal shavings, dust, and other debris easily adhere to the surface of the conveyor belt. If not cleaned in time, these debris can easily come into contact with the sheet metal, causing scratches, indentations, and other damage to the sheet metal surface, reducing the production quality of the sheet metal. The debris also affects the service life of the conveyor belt. To solve these problems, a debris removal mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 31. A debris removal brush 32, which rotatably abuts against the conveyor belt, is rotatably connected inside the conveyor table 1. Turntables 33 are mounted on the outer end of the debris removal brush 32 and on the output shaft of the drive motor 31. The two turntables 33 are connected by a connecting belt 34. Two sets of guide plates 35 are installed below the end of the conveyor table 1 near the debris removal brush 32. The two sets of guide plates 35 are symmetrically distributed at an oblique angle directly below the debris removal brush 32, guiding and converging the debris swept down by the debris removal brush 32, causing the debris to flow along the guide plates 35. The tilted angle allows the debris to slide smoothly into the collection box 36, preventing it from scattering or shifting during its descent and thus ensuring the effectiveness of debris collection. The collection box 36, in conjunction with the guide plate 35, enables efficient collection of debris. The collection box 36 is located below the guide plate 35, and its width is greater than that of the conveyor belt. This ensures that all debris removed from the conveyor belt falls into the collection box 36, preventing debris from scattering outside the collection box 36 and causing pollution to the production environment or requiring secondary cleaning. This improves the thoroughness and convenience of debris collection. When the drive motor 31 at the other end of the conveyor 1 drives the cleaning brush 32 to rotate through the connection of the connecting belt 34 and the turntable 33, the cleaning brush 32 rotates synchronously. Since the cleaning brush 32 is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt, its bristles will sweep off metal shavings, dust and other debris from the surface of the conveyor belt during the rotation. The removed debris falls off under the action of gravity. Two sets of guide plates 35 distributed at an angle symmetrically below the conveyor 1 guide the debris into the collection box 36 below, realizing the removal and collection of debris from the surface of the conveyor belt, avoiding the debris from scratching the sheet metal plate and affecting the transmission stability.
