Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unloading technology and provides an unloading platform. Background Technology
[0002] In existing laser cutting equipment, the platform in the unloading area is entirely supported by rack and pinion columns, which need to support the sheet metal, resulting in significant friction during unloading. Traditional manual unloading methods can lead to bumps and scratches on the finished workpiece. Sheet metal is typically large (3000mm*1250mm), and manually moving it to the worktable for unloading is time-consuming, labor-intensive, significantly reduces production efficiency, and poses safety hazards such as sprains, scratches, and twists. This operating method mainly presents the following problems:
[0003] 1. The rack and pinion support column of the unloading platform is crucial for the production of large finished panels. Due to the large size of the wall panels, they need to be lifted and pulled out for unloading. Strict product quality requirements necessitate strict supervision, and scratched wall panels are strictly prohibited from use, as this could lead to the scrapping of the panels. Manual unloading of the workbench requires the assistance of three people, resulting in low work efficiency and wasted manpower and resources.
[0004] 2. When the work team is producing aluminum alloy driver's cabs or stainless steel chassis beams, the plates are thick and the workpieces are heavy. The usual approach is to remove the smaller parts or components from the workbench first, and then clean the unloading head. However, too much time is wasted on unloading, which can easily cause equipment downtime and reduce production efficiency.
[0005] 3. Sometimes when unloading aluminum alloy and stainless steel thin sheets, because the sheets are thin, the entire sheet is lifted to the open ground during unloading. Manual lifting is unstable, and some workpieces may fall during the process, causing damage and scrapping of the workpieces.
[0006] 4. Manual handling: Due to the large size of the workpiece or scrap, improper coordination among multiple people can easily lead to safety hazards such as bumps, sprains, and cuts. Utility Model Content

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides an unloading platform. The unloading platform includes: a support frame 1, a horizontal moving mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a transport platform 12, and a transfer mechanism.
[0049] The horizontal moving mechanism is located on the support 1; the lifting mechanism is located at the moving end of the horizontal moving mechanism; the transport platform 12 is located on the support 1, and the transport platform 12 is provided with a rolling unit for supporting the workpiece; the transfer mechanism is located at the moving end of the lifting mechanism and extends to the transport platform 12 at one end, for transferring the workpiece to the transport platform 12.
[0050] Specifically, the support frame 1 serves as the supporting structure for the entire unloading platform. The horizontal moving mechanism, lifting mechanism, transport platform 12, and transfer mechanism are all installed on the support frame 1. A walking mechanism 11 can also be installed at the bottom of the support frame 1 to meet the movement requirements of the unloading platform.
[0051] The fixed end of the horizontal moving mechanism is mounted on the bracket 1, and its movable end can move horizontally relative to the fixed end. The fixed end of the lifting mechanism is mounted on the movable end of the horizontal moving mechanism, and the fixed end can move up and down relative to the movable end.
[0052] By coordinating the horizontal moving mechanism and the lifting mechanism, the transfer mechanism can move horizontally and vertically, thus making it suitable for transferring workpieces onto the transport platform 12. Preferably, the transfer mechanism can employ extendable forks 8.
[0053] The transport platform 12 is equipped with a rolling unit, which reduces friction between the platform and the workpiece by rolling, thereby reducing damage to the workpiece. The transport platform 12 also serves to support the workpiece.
[0054] The specific working process of the unloading platform of this utility model is as follows:
[0055] The transfer mechanism is inserted into the gap of the unloading equipment's worktable. The lifting mechanism lifts the cut sheet metal (or workpiece, etc.), and the transfer mechanism then carries the sheet metal back to the transport platform 12. During this process, the horizontal position of the transfer mechanism can be adjusted by moving the horizontal moving mechanism to meet the unloading needs of sheets of different sizes. The rolling unit on the transport platform 12 reduces friction between the platform and the sheet metal, thus preventing scratches and impacts. This unloading platform allows the cut sheet metal to be removed from the laser cutting worktable for easy unloading.
[0056] This utility model provides an unloading platform, comprising: a support 1, a horizontal moving mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a transport platform 12, and a transfer mechanism. The horizontal moving mechanism is mounted on the support 1; the lifting mechanism is located at the moving end of the horizontal moving mechanism; the transport platform 12 is mounted on the support 1, and the transport platform 12 is equipped with a rolling unit for supporting workpieces; the transfer mechanism is located at the moving end of the lifting mechanism and extends one end to the transport platform 12, used to transfer workpieces to the transport platform 12. This utility model provides an unloading platform that, through the cooperation of the horizontal moving mechanism and the lifting mechanism, enables the transfer mechanism to move horizontally and vertically, suitable for unloading workpieces of various sizes; the transfer mechanism is used to transfer workpieces to the transport platform 12, replacing the manual handling method in the prior art, thereby improving work efficiency, reducing waste of manpower and resources, and avoiding safety hazards associated with manual handling; furthermore, the rolling unit on the transport platform 12 can reduce friction between it and the sheet metal, thereby preventing scratches and collisions to the sheet metal.
[0057] In one embodiment of this utility model, the horizontal moving mechanism includes: a horizontal support 2, a horizontal support column 3, and a connecting member 13. The horizontal support 2 is disposed on the lifting mechanism; the horizontal support column 3 is horizontally disposed on the horizontal support 2; the connecting member 13 is movably disposed on the horizontal support column 3, and the transfer mechanism is disposed on the connecting member 13. Specifically, the horizontal support 2 is fixed to the movable end of the lifting mechanism and can rise and fall synchronously with the lifting mechanism. The two ends of the horizontal support 2 are used to install the horizontal support column 3, which provides a track for the transfer mechanism to move in the horizontal direction. The connecting member 13 has holes and is fitted onto the horizontal support column 3, allowing the transfer mechanism to move in the horizontal extension direction under the drive of the connecting member 13.
[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, the unloading platform further includes a limiting member disposed on the horizontal support column 3, which is used to limit the position of the transfer mechanism on the horizontal support column 3.
[0059] In the above embodiments, one of the possible methods for the limiting member is a bolt. Multiple limiting holes are provided on the horizontal support column 3 along its extension direction, and the axial direction of the limiting holes is perpendicular to the extension direction of the horizontal support column 3. By passing through the limiting hole at a designated position and protruding from the limiting hole, the protruding part of the bolt provides a limit for the horizontal movement of the transfer mechanism.
[0060] In the above embodiments, one of the possible methods for the limiting member is a nut, on which an external thread is machined on the outer surface of the horizontal support 3, and the internal thread of the nut engages with the external thread of the horizontal support 3. The movement of the nut on the horizontal support 3 is achieved by rotating the nut, and the part of the nut protruding from the horizontal support 3 provides a limit for the movement of the transfer mechanism in the horizontal direction.
[0061] In one embodiment of this utility model, the lifting mechanism includes a vertical support column 4 and a sliding sleeve 5. The vertical support column 4 is mounted on a bracket 1; the sliding sleeve 5 is slidably mounted on the vertical support column 4 in the vertical direction, and a horizontal moving mechanism is mounted on the sliding sleeve 5. In this embodiment, the bottom end of the vertical support column 4 is fixed to the bracket 1, the sliding sleeve 5 is sleeved on the vertical support column 4 and can slide up and down, the vertical support column 4 is used to limit the lifting direction of the sliding sleeve 5, and the lifting movement of the sliding sleeve 5 can drive the horizontal moving mechanism to lift synchronously. Specifically, two sets of vertical support columns 4 and sliding sleeves 5 are provided, and a horizontal support 2 is fixed between the two sliding sleeves 5.
[0062] In one embodiment of this utility model, the unloading platform further includes a drive device connected to the sliding sleeve 5, used to drive the sliding sleeve 5 to move on the vertical support column 4. Preferably, the drive device can be a hydraulic station, which provides the power for the lifting and lowering movement of the sliding sleeve 5; of course, other drive devices can also be used instead.
[0063] In one embodiment of this utility model, the rolling unit includes: a plurality of mounting seats 6 and a plurality of balls 7. The plurality of mounting seats 6 are evenly spaced on the upper surface of the transport platform 12; the plurality of balls 7 are rotatably and correspondingly mounted on the mounting seats 6. Specifically, a plurality of mounting seats 6 and a plurality of balls 7 are arrayed on the transport platform 12, and one ball 7 is mounted on each mounting seat 6. The contact between the balls 7 and the sheet material reduces frictional damage to the sheet material; in addition, the use of balls 7 to support the sheet material also facilitates its movement and unloading.
[0064] Specifically, the shipping platform 12 is 1.2 meters long and about 1 meter wide, with multiple mounting seats 6 and ball bearings 7 evenly distributed on it, and the spacing between two adjacent ball bearings 7 is the same.
[0065] In one embodiment of this utility model, a ball bearing 7 may be provided between the end of the transfer mechanism (the end closest to the transport platform 12) and the contact surface (i.e., the upper surface) of the workpiece, so as to facilitate the transfer of the workpiece onto the transport platform 12.
[0066] In one embodiment of this utility model, the transfer mechanism includes at least two forks 8, which are retractably mounted on the moving end of the lifting mechanism. In such a way... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the structure shown, two retractable forks 8 are provided. Their extension movement allows them to insert into the gaps in the unloading equipment's worktable, and their retraction movement allows the sheet metal to be transferred onto the transport platform 12. Preferably, depending on the actual situation, three to four forks 8 can be provided to ensure stable support and transfer of the sheet metal.
[0067] In addition, the transfer mechanism also includes: a vertical connector 13, which...
[0068] Specifically, the fork 8 extends to a length of approximately 1.2 meters; driven by the lifting mechanism, the fork 8 can move up and down between 0.8 meters and 1.2 meters.
[0069] In one embodiment of this utility model, the unloading platform further includes a lifting mechanism 9, which is disposed between the support 1 and the transport platform 12. In this embodiment, by setting the lifting mechanism 9 between the support 1 and the transport platform 12, the lifting movement of the transport platform 12 can be realized. Specifically, when the forks 8 extend to unload, the transport platform 12 is controlled to descend; when the forks 8 retract, the plate part moves above the transport platform 12, and the transport platform 12 is controlled to rise, thereby supporting the plate and lifting it. If the plate is not moved into position, it can be moved manually. Due to the structure of the ball bearings 7 on the transport platform 12, manual lifting is not required, and moving the plate is also very labor-saving. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 9 can be a linear push rod, a linear movement module, etc.
[0070] Specifically, driven by the lifting mechanism 9, the transport platform 12 can move up and down between 1 meter and 1.2 meters.
[0071] In one embodiment of this utility model, the unloading platform further includes a counterweight mechanism 10, which is mounted on the support 1. Specifically, the counterweight mechanism 10 is located on the side opposite to the extension direction of the forks 8, so as to balance the weight of the forks 8 when supporting the plate.
[0072] In one embodiment of this utility model, the unloading platform further includes a traveling mechanism 11, which is disposed on the lower surface of the support 1. Specifically, the traveling mechanism 11 may employ casters, with four casters disposed on the lower surface of the support 1 to meet the needs of device movement.
[0073] In summary, the working process of the unloading platform in the above embodiments of this utility model is as follows:
[0074] Insert the telescopic fork 8 into the gap of the unloading equipment's worktable, lift the cut plate by moving it up and down, and then bring the plate back to the transport platform 12 using the telescopic fork 8. By lifting the transport platform 12 to a certain height, the cut plate can be removed from the laser cutting worktable for easy unloading and transfer.
[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
