Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the process of sheet metal processing, the feeding stage is a crucial link that directly affects the efficiency and quality of subsequent processing. Traditional sheet metal feeding methods mostly rely on manual labor or single-station equipment. Manual feeding is labor-intensive, inefficient, and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of feeding. Single-station feeding machines require shutdown when changing material piles or when malfunctioning, which seriously affects the continuity of production and cannot meet the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that traditional board feeding methods mostly use manual methods or single-station equipment, which results in high labor intensity and low efficiency.

[0007] A dual-station plate feeding machine includes a feeding frame, with a lifting hopper device on each of the left and right sides of the feeding frame, two material picking devices on the upper part of the lifting hopper devices, and two material pushing devices between the two lifting hopper devices.

[0008] The lifting hopper device includes a set of linear guide rail pairs, a transmission chain, a sprocket, a sprocket fixing frame, a chain fixing block, a lifting motor, a stacking plate, and a partition plate. The set of linear guide rail pairs is symmetrically arranged on the plate-feeding machine frame. The lifting motor is fixedly installed at the lower part of the plate-feeding machine frame. The sprocket fixing frame is fixedly installed between the two linear guide rail pairs and at the upper part of the plate-feeding machine frame. The sprocket is connected to the sprocket fixing frame through a rotating shaft. The chain fixing block is connected to both the transmission chain and the partition plate. The transmission chain is connected to the sprocket and also to the rotating shaft of the lifting motor through a chain-sprocket connection. One side of the partition plate is connected to a slider on the set of linear guide rail pairs. The stacking plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the partition plate.

[0009] The feeding device includes uprights symmetrically arranged on the plate feeding machine frame, each upright having a bending baffle, a supporting beam between two uprights, multiple synchronous pulleys, a synchronous belt, a synchronous belt clamp, a transmission motor fixedly installed at the lower part of the supporting beam, a linear guide rail set on the upper end face of the supporting beam, and a feeding plate. The multiple synchronous pulleys are connected to the supporting beam via rotating shafts. The transmission motor is fixedly installed at the lower part of the supporting beam. The synchronous belt is sleeved on the multiple synchronous pulleys and connected to the rotating shaft of the transmission motor via the synchronous pulleys and the synchronous belt. The synchronous belt clamp is fixedly installed on the synchronous belt and is also inherently connected to the lower end face of the feeding plate. The feeding plate is also connected to the slider on the linear guide rail set. The bending baffle has a side baffle and a support plate surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the pusher plate has an L-shaped structure.

[0011] Furthermore, each upright is also provided with a receiving bending plate at an angle at the end away from the pusher plate, and the height of the receiving bending plate at the end closer to the upright is higher than that at the other end.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. The dual-station design enables simultaneous feeding at both stations, significantly improving feeding efficiency compared to single-station or alternating dual-station equipment, thus meeting the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency production.

[0017] 2. The lifting hopper device is guided by a linear guide rail pair, and the transmission chain and sprocket drive are smooth, which can accurately control the lifting height of the plate and ensure that the material picking device picks up the material accurately. Moreover, the two lifting hopper devices can be controlled independently to ensure synchronization and accuracy when working at the same time.

[0018] 3. The material handling device uses a vacuum suction cup to adsorb the board material. Combined with the movement of the magnetically coupled rodless cylinder and the material handling cylinder, it realizes the precise handling of the board material. The two material handling devices can operate synchronously, avoiding damage to the board material and achieving high material handling efficiency.

[0019] 4. The feeding device drives the feeding plate to move through the synchronous belt drive. With the guidance of the linear guide rail, the feeding is stable and accurate. The L-shaped feeding plate can better push the plate. The side baffle and the support plate surface ensure the stability of the plate during the feeding process. The two feeding devices work synchronously to ensure the smooth feeding of materials at both stations at the same time.

[0020] 5. The inclined design of the receiving bending plate facilitates the smooth sliding out of the sheet metal, allowing subsequent equipment to simultaneously receive sheet metal from two workstations, thus improving the smoothness and continuity of the entire production process.

The linear guide rail pairs 201 are symmetrically arranged on the plate-feeding frame 1, providing stable guidance for the lifting of the partition plate 208. The lifting motor 206 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the plate-feeding frame 1, serving as the power source for the lifting hopper device 2. The sprocket fixing frame 204 is fixedly installed between the two linear guide rail pairs 201 and at the upper part of the plate-feeding frame 1, used to fix the sprocket 203.

[0033] The material handling device 3 includes a magnetically coupled rodless cylinder 301, a material handling cylinder 302, a mounting plate 303, a connecting beam 304, and vacuum suction cups 305. The magnetically coupled rodless cylinder 301 is fixedly mounted on the plate receiving frame, and its slider is inherently connected to the cylinder body of the material handling cylinder 304, driving the material handling cylinder 304 to move left and right. The mounting plate 303 is inherently connected to the telescopic rod of the material handling cylinder 302, and the material handling cylinder 302 can drive the mounting plate 303 to move up and down. The connecting beam 304 has two symmetrically arranged on the lower end surface of the mounting plate 303, and each connecting beam 304 is equipped with multiple vacuum suction cups 305 for adsorbing the plate material.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] When this dual-station sheet metal feeding machine is working, it can operate the left and right lifting hopper devices 2 simultaneously. First, the sheet metal to be fed is stacked on the stacking plates 207 of the left and right lifting hopper devices 2 respectively. The lifting motors 206 of the two lifting hopper devices 2 start simultaneously, and through the transmission chains 202 and sprockets 203 of their respective devices, the corresponding chain fixing blocks 205 are driven to move, thereby causing the two partition plates 208 to rise along their respective linear guide pairs 201, simultaneously lifting the sheet metal on the two stacking plates 207 to the appropriate picking height.

[0036] The two material handling devices 3 start working simultaneously. Their respective magnetically coupled rodless cylinders 301 drive the corresponding material handling cylinders 302 to move above the left and right lifting hopper devices 2. The telescopic rods of the material handling cylinders 302 extend, causing the vacuum suction cups 305 under the mounting plate 303 to contact and adsorb the material. Subsequently, the telescopic rods of the two material handling cylinders 302 retract simultaneously, and the two magnetically coupled rodless cylinders 301 drive the corresponding material handling cylinders 302 to move above the support plates 411 of the left and right pushing devices 4. The vacuum suction cups 305 release simultaneously, and the two materials fall onto their respective support plates 411. The side baffles 410 laterally limit the material. The transmission motors 407 of the two feeding devices 4 start simultaneously. Through the transmission of their respective synchronous pulleys 404 and synchronous belts 405, they drive the corresponding synchronous belt clamps 406 to move, thereby causing the two feeding plates 409 to move along their respective linear guide rails 408. This pushes the plates on the two pallet surfaces 411 simultaneously towards the corresponding receiving bending plates 412. The plates slide out along the inclined receiving bending plates 412, completing the simultaneous feeding operation at both stations. When needed, the two stations can also be controlled to work alternately. When the plates on one side of the lifting hopper device 2 are about to run out, they can be replenished while the other side continues to work, ensuring the continuity of production.
