Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slab feeding technology, and in particular to a continuous slab conveying and feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] The continuous slab conveying and feeding device is a piece of equipment used for transporting slabs in the production process of home furnishing boards. Its main function is to continuously and efficiently transport slabs on the production line to ensure the smooth operation of the production process.
[0003] When feeding slabs, they need to be inspected to remove those that do not meet the requirements. This inspection is mostly done manually, by placing the slabs under light to observe their surface color and selecting those that do not meet the requirements. This process of sorting slabs is not convenient for automatic sorting, nor is it convenient to adjust the height of the vision sensor and light according to the rear end of the slab. This increases the labor intensity of workers and reduces sorting efficiency, thus reducing the practicality of the device. Therefore, this utility model proposes a continuous slab conveying and feeding device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The moving mechanism includes a fixed groove, a movable block, a positioning hole, and a positioning pin. The fixed groove is opened inside the side plate, and the movable block is arranged inside the fixed groove. One end of the movable block is connected to one end of the horizontal plate. Both the side plate and the movable block are provided with positioning holes, and positioning pins are arranged inside the positioning holes.
[0007] A further improvement is that multiple positioning holes are provided on the side plate, and the multiple positioning holes are distributed at equal intervals inside the side plate.
[0008] A further improvement is that the cross-section of the positioning hole is larger than the cross-section of the positioning pin, and the positioning hole and the positioning pin form an engaging structure.
[0009] A further improvement is made in that: the material transfer mechanism includes a second electromagnetic slide rail assembly, a mounting cavity, a mounting rod, a mounting plate, a second suction cup, and a rotating structure. The second electromagnetic slide rail assembly is mounted on the top of the base plate. A mounting cavity is mounted above the second electromagnetic slide rail assembly. A mounting rod is mounted above the mounting cavity. The second electromagnetic slide rail assembly is mounted on one end of the mounting rod. A mounting plate is mounted on one end of the second electromagnetic slide rail assembly via a connecting rod. A second suction cup is mounted on the bottom end of the mounting plate.
[0010] A further improvement is that three second suction cups are installed below the mounting plate, and the three second suction cups are symmetrically distributed below the mounting plate.
[0011] A further improvement is made in that: the rotating structure includes a servo motor, a worm gear, and a worm wheel.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a moving mechanism inside the side plate, the height of the sensor assembly and the illumination lamp can be adjusted through the cooperation of the fixed groove, movable block, positioning hole and positioning pin of the moving mechanism. This makes the sensor assembly and the illumination lamp more effective in detecting slabs of different thicknesses, eliminating the need for manual inspection and automatically detecting the slabs, thus greatly improving the practicality of the device. By setting a material transfer mechanism above the conveying assembly, the second electromagnetic slide rail assembly, mounting cavity, servo motor, worm gear, worm wheel, mounting rod, mounting plate and second suction cup of the material transfer mechanism can be used to pick up unqualified slabs and process them for unloading.

[0018] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0019] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this embodiment proposes a continuous board feeding device, including a base plate 1. A conveying assembly 2 is installed on one side of the top of the base plate 1, and a platform 3 is installed on the other side of the top of the base plate 1. A vertical rod 4 is installed at the rear end of the top of the base plate 1, and a first electromagnetic slide rail assembly 5 is provided on the vertical rod 4. A first suction cup 6 is installed at one end of the first electromagnetic slide rail assembly 5. A side plate 7 is installed at the middle position of the rear end of the base plate 1. A horizontal plate 8 is installed at one end of the side plate 7. A sensor assembly 9 is installed below the horizontal plate 8. The sensor assembly 9 includes a vision sensor and an ultrasonic sensor. The vision sensor detects defects on the surface of the wood board, such as knots, cracks, insect infestation, and uneven surfaces. It can also measure and identify the shape and size of the board. The ultrasonic sensor is mainly used to detect internal defects of the wood board, such as internal cavities, decay, and dark cracks. A light lamp 10 is installed between the sensor assemblies 9 below the horizontal plate 8. A moving mechanism is provided inside the side plate 7, and a material transfer mechanism is provided above the conveying assembly 2.
[0020] The moving mechanism includes a fixed groove 11, a movable block 12, positioning holes 13, and positioning pins 14. The fixed groove 11 is formed inside the side plate 7, and the movable block 12 is disposed inside the fixed groove 11. One end of the movable block 12 is connected to one end of the cross plate 8. Both the side plate 7 and the movable block 12 have positioning holes 13, and positioning pins 14 are disposed inside the positioning holes 13. Multiple positioning holes 13 are formed on the side plate 7, and the multiple positioning holes 13 are evenly distributed inside the side plate 7. The cross-section of the positioning hole 13 is larger than the cross-section of the positioning pin 14, and the positioning hole 13 and the positioning pin 14 form a... The locking structure allows for height adjustment of the sensor assembly 9 and the illumination lamp 10. The positioning pin 14 is moved out of the positioning hole 13, the movable block 12 is moved inside the fixing groove 11, and finally the positioning pin 14 is inserted into the positioning hole 13 to fix the position of the sensor assembly 9 and the illumination lamp 10. This allows for height adjustment of the sensor assembly 9 and the illumination lamp 10, resulting in better detection of slabs of different thicknesses. Manual detection is no longer required; the device can automatically detect slabs, greatly improving its practicality.
[0021] The material transfer mechanism includes a second electromagnetic slide rail assembly 15, a mounting cavity 16, a mounting rod 20, a mounting plate 21, a second suction cup 22, and a rotating structure. The second electromagnetic slide rail assembly 15 is mounted on the top of the base plate 1. The mounting cavity 16 is mounted above the second electromagnetic slide rail assembly 15. The mounting rod 20 is mounted above the mounting cavity 16. The second electromagnetic slide rail assembly 15 is mounted on one end of the mounting rod 20. The mounting plate 21 is mounted on one end of the second electromagnetic slide rail assembly 15 via a connecting rod. The bottom end is equipped with a second suction cup 22. Three second suction cups 22 are installed below the mounting plate 21. The three second suction cups 22 are symmetrically distributed below the mounting plate 21. When in use, the second electromagnetic slide rail assembly 15 is activated to drive the mounting plate 21 and the second suction cups 22 to move downward. The second suction cups 22 are used to pick up the blank and then drive the blank upward to transfer the blank. Unqualified blanks are unloaded, which makes the blank sorting more efficient and thus makes the blank better when used.
[0022] The rotating structure includes a servo motor 17, a worm gear 18, and a worm wheel 19. The servo motor 17 is installed at the front end of the mounting cavity 16. The worm gear 18 is installed on one side inside the mounting cavity 16. The output end of the servo motor 17 is connected to one end of the worm gear 18. The worm wheel 19 is meshed on one side. The top end of the worm wheel 19 is connected to the bottom end of the mounting rod 20. In use, the servo motor 17 is started to drive the worm gear 18 to rotate. Since the worm gear 18 and the worm wheel 19 are meshed with each other, the worm wheel 19 drives the mounting rod 20 to rotate, thereby driving the slab to rotate and perform material transfer processing on the slab.
[0023] Working principle: First, the operator uses a forklift or crane to place the slab on the platform 3. Then, the first electromagnetic slide rail assembly 5 and the first suction cup 6 are activated. The first suction cup 6 holds the slab, and the first electromagnetic slide rail assembly 5 moves the slab above the conveying assembly 2. At this time, the illumination lamp 10 provides illumination to the slab, and the sensor assembly 9 detects and processes the slab. When a defective product is detected, the second electromagnetic slide rail assembly 15 is activated, causing the mounting plate 21 and the second suction cup 22 to move downwards. The second suction cup 22 holds the slab, and then moves the slab upwards. At this time, the servo motor 1 is activated. 7 drives the worm gear 18 to rotate. Since the worm gear 18 and the worm wheel 19 mesh with each other, the worm wheel 19 drives the mounting rod 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the slab to rotate and transfer the slab. The qualified slab is continuously conveyed by the conveying assembly 2. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the sensor assembly 9 and the light lamp 10, the positioning pin 14 is moved out of the positioning hole 13, and then the movable block 12 is moved inside the fixing groove 11. Finally, the positioning pin 14 is inserted into the positioning hole 13 to fix the position of the sensor assembly 9 and the light lamp 10.
