Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum composite panel production technology, and in particular to a temporary storage mechanism for assisting in the unloading of aluminum composite panels. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of aluminum composite panels, in order to reduce the floor space and improve the conveying efficiency, the aluminum composite panels need to be stacked during the processing. Then, a forklift is used to transport the stacked aluminum composite panels to the next process, and then the individual aluminum composite panels are unloaded one by one to meet the processing needs of the next process.
[0003] Aluminum composite panels can be unloaded using a robotic arm. Vacuum suction cups mounted on the robotic arm grip and pick up the panels, then transport them to processing or inspection equipment for further processing or inspection. However, because the surface of aluminum composite panels is relatively flat, the air between stacked panels is expelled, creating suction force. When the upper panel is gripped by the robotic arm, some of the lower panels may move along with it, or slip during transport, posing a certain safety hazard and requiring improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a temporary storage mechanism for assisting in the unloading of aluminum composite panels, thereby temporarily storing the aluminum composite panels and assisting in the unloading of the composite panels, and avoiding the problem of unloading two stacked aluminum composite panels at the same time.
[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A temporary storage mechanism for assisting in the unloading of aluminum composite panels includes: a base, a lifting drive mechanism, a mounting plate, a tray, and a blocking bar. The mounting plate is disposed above the base, and the tray is movably disposed above the mounting plate. The lifting drive mechanism is disposed on the mounting plate to drive the tray to move up and down. The base is provided with two rows of guide posts that extend upward through the mounting plate and the tray. The aluminum composite panels are stacked on the tray. The blocking bars are horizontally spaced on the mounting plate, and the top of the blocking bars extends upward through the tray and to the front of the aluminum composite panels.
[0007] The mounting plate and the support plate are provided with guide holes corresponding to the guide posts, and the mounting plate is provided with a first fastening screw pointing to the guide posts.
[0008] The guide post is provided with a fixing plate at the top, and a distance measuring sensor pointing downwards towards the support plate is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate.
[0009] It also includes a controller, and the ranging sensor is connected to the controller for signal transmission.
[0010] The lifting drive mechanism is a screw jack, and the controller is connected to the screw jack to control the lifting.
[0011] The top surface of the tray has two slots spaced apart.
[0012] The support plate is provided with through holes corresponding to the blocking rod.
[0013] The mounting plate is provided with a socket corresponding to the blocking rod, and the front end of the mounting plate is provided with a second fastening screw pointing to the blocking rod.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A temporary storage mechanism for assisting in the unloading of aluminum composite panels allows stacked aluminum composite panels to be temporarily stored on a pallet. During the unloading process, a lifting drive mechanism drives the pallet to rise gradually, so that the top of the blocking bar is in front of the second aluminum composite panel from the top, restricting its forward movement. When the robotic arm picks up the first aluminum composite panel on the upper layer, it can first rise a small height and then drive the first aluminum composite panel to move forward, ensuring the separation of the upper and lower aluminum composite panels and avoiding the problem of the two stacked aluminum composite panels being unloaded at the same time. This achieves unloading assistance and improves the safety of unloading and handling. Attached Figure Description
[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;
[0016] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure after the middle support plate is raised. Detailed Implementation
[0017] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 2 The technical solution of this utility model will be further illustrated through specific embodiments.
[0018] like Figure 1 The auxiliary aluminum composite panel unloading temporary storage mechanism shown is used to assist in unloading aluminum composite panels 10 after stacking. It includes: a base 1, a lifting drive mechanism 5, a mounting plate 3, a support plate 4, a blocking rod 7, and a controller. The mounting plate 3 is disposed above the base 1, and the support plate 4 is movably disposed above the mounting plate 3. The base 1 is provided with two rows of guide posts 2 that penetrate upward through the mounting plate 3 and the support plate 4. In this embodiment, the mounting plate 3 and the support plate 4 are provided with guide holes corresponding to the guide posts 2 for lifting and guiding the mounting plate 3 and the support plate 4.
[0019] The mounting plate 3 is provided with a first fastening screw 11 pointing to the guide post 2. A row of threaded holes that are spaced vertically and correspond to the first fastening screw 11 can be machined on the guide post 2. By connecting the first fastening screw 11 with the threaded hole at the corresponding height position, the mounting plate 3 can be locked after being raised and lowered, thereby improving the adaptability to the stacking height of the robot or aluminum composite plate.
[0020] The aluminum composite panels 10 are stacked on the pallet 4, and their height is adjusted as the pallet 4 is raised and lowered. In this embodiment, the top surface of the pallet 4 is provided with two slots 6 at intervals, which correspond to the forks of the forklift, facilitating the forklift to transfer the stacked aluminum composite panels 10 onto the pallet 4 for temporary storage.
[0021] The lifting drive mechanism 5 is mounted on the mounting plate 3 to drive the lifting of the pallet 4. In this embodiment, the lifting drive mechanism 5 is a screw jack, and the controller is connected to the screw jack for lifting control. Figure 2 As shown, as the upper aluminum composite panel is picked up and unloaded by the robotic arm, the lifting drive mechanism 5 drives the tray 4 to gradually rise and fall to meet the robotic arm's adsorption and gripping of the uppermost aluminum composite panel, and to unify the position and height of each gripping.
[0022] A fixing plate 9 is provided at the top of the guide post 2, and a distance sensor 8 pointing downwards towards the support plate 4 is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 9. In this embodiment, the distance sensor 8 is connected to the controller for signal transmission, so that the controller can obtain the position and height of the uppermost aluminum composite plate 10 on the support plate 4, which is beneficial for the controller to control the lifting drive mechanism 5 and improve the level of automation.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, at least two of the aforementioned blocking rods 7 are horizontally spaced on the mounting plate 3, with the top of each blocking rod 7 extending upward through the support plate 4 and reaching the front of the aluminum composite plate 10. In this embodiment, the support plate 4 is provided with through holes corresponding to the blocking rods 7, which does not affect the lifting and lowering of the support plate 4.
[0024] The mounting plate 3 is provided with a corresponding insertion hole for the blocking rod 7. The front end of the mounting plate 3 is provided with a second fastening screw 12 pointing to the blocking rod 7, which facilitates the height adjustment and fixation of the blocking rod 7. This ensures that the top of the blocking rod 7 is located in front of the second aluminum composite plate from the top, restricting its forward movement. When the robotic arm picks up the first aluminum composite plate of the upper layer, the robotic arm can first rise a small height, driving the first aluminum composite plate to rise slightly (usually this can separate the upper and lower aluminum composite plates; in a few cases, the lower aluminum composite plate will rise accordingly). Then, the robotic arm drives the first aluminum composite plate to move forward. The lower aluminum composite plate is restricted from moving forward by the blocking rod 7, which can ensure the separation of the upper and lower aluminum composite plates and avoid the problem of two stacked aluminum composite plates being unloaded at the same time. This achieves unloading assistance, avoids the problem of the lower aluminum composite plate slipping, and improves the safety of unloading and handling.
[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
