Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet material conveying technology, and in particular to a sheet material conveying device that improves stability. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial manufacturing, the efficiency and reliability of sheet metal processing and conveying systems have a crucial impact on production efficiency and product quality. With the continuous development of automation and intelligent manufacturing technologies, sheet metal conveying equipment is gradually evolving towards higher precision, higher stability, and automation, playing a vital role in reducing labor costs, improving production efficiency, and ensuring processing accuracy.

[0003] Currently, to address the stability issues during sheet material conveying, the industry typically employs additional fixing devices on the conveying track or uses multi-point support structures to enhance equipment stability. However, while these methods can improve equipment stability to some extent, in practical applications, factors such as uneven sheet weight distribution and variations in conveying speed can still easily cause vibration or deviation in the traveling mechanism during operation, thereby affecting the conveying accuracy of the sheet material and the long-term operational stability of the equipment.

[0004] In existing technologies, guide wheels are generally used to move on a track. This method is prone to slippage at the start, resulting in insufficient movement distance and the inability to accurately place the sheet material onto the processing equipment. Some methods use gears and racks for drive, but this method is not easy to stabilize during transport, causing slight vibration problems, which also makes it impossible to accurately place the sheet material onto the processing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to propose a plate conveying device with improved stability, so as to solve the problems of insufficient accuracy and poor long-term operational stability of existing plate conveying devices.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] A plate conveying device for improving stability, comprising:

[0008] Multiple columns are installed on the ground and arranged in two rows; two trusses are laid horizontally on the two rows of columns; a track is laid along the length of the trusses; a traveling mechanism moves along the length of the track, and a crossbeam is provided on the traveling mechanism, with a lifting rod on the crossbeam to drive the plate to rise and fall.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution and through the structural design of multiple columns and trusses, a stable support foundation is provided for the traveling mechanism, which effectively reduces the vibration and offset of the traveling mechanism during operation and improves the stability and accuracy of plate conveying.

[0010] Furthermore, the walking mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly disposed at the end of the crossbeam, a plurality of walking wheels rotatably disposed on the mounting plate, a walking belt sleeved on the plurality of walking wheels, and a drive mechanism for driving the walking wheels to move.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the traveling belt can increase the contact area between the traveling wheels and the track, effectively reduce the slippage of the traveling wheels during startup, and further improve the stability of the conveying.

[0012] Furthermore, the walking mechanism consists of two sets, each located on one of the two tracks. The crossbeam is installed between the two sets of the walking mechanism, and the walking wheel is located on the side of the mounting plate away from the crossbeam.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of two sets of walking mechanisms can ensure the balance of the crossbeam during movement, avoid the offset problem caused by uneven force on one side, and further improve the stability of the equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, a support rod is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate, and the traveling wheel is rotatably mounted on the support rod. There are two support rods, and a damper is installed between the two support rods.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the combination of the strut and the damper can effectively absorb the vibration generated by the walking mechanism during operation, reduce the positional displacement of the plate caused by vibration, and improve the conveying accuracy.

[0016] Furthermore, the support rod is an arc-shaped rod, and the two support rods are arranged in a cross shape, with a pivot connecting the intersection.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the cross design of the arc-shaped struts can enhance the structural strength of the struts. At the same time, the connection at the cross points via rotating shafts can better adapt to the slight swaying of the walking mechanism during operation, further improving the stability of the equipment.

[0018] Furthermore, a horn-shaped rod for mounting the damper is fixedly provided on the back of the support rod.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the bullhorn rod provides a stable installation position for the damper, ensuring that the damper can play an effective role and further improving the vibration reduction effect of the equipment.

[0020] Furthermore, a balance bar is also provided on the support rod, and the traveling wheels are rotatably mounted at both ends of the balance bar.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, the installation of the balance bar can further increase the number of traveling wheels, expand the contact area between the traveling wheels and the track, effectively reduce slippage, and improve the operational stability of the equipment.

[0022] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a motor fixedly mounted on the crossbeam, a driven rod passing through the two mounting plates and driven by the motor, pulleys fixedly mounted at both ends of the driven rod, and the same pulley being keyed to the shaft of one of the traveling wheels, with the two pulleys being driven by a synchronous belt.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor drives the traveling wheels to rotate through pulleys and synchronous belts, which enables the synchronous movement of multiple traveling wheels, ensuring that the crossbeam moves smoothly on the track and further improving the operating accuracy and stability of the equipment.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The plate conveying equipment with improved stability described in this utility model features a walking belt that increases the contact area between the walking wheels and the track, effectively reducing slippage of the walking wheels during startup and further improving conveying stability. The two sets of walking mechanisms ensure the balance of the crossbeam during movement, avoiding offset problems caused by uneven force on one side, further enhancing equipment stability. The combination of the struts and dampers effectively absorbs vibrations generated during operation, reducing plate position shifts caused by vibration and improving conveying accuracy. The cross-design of the arc-shaped struts enhances the structural strength of the struts, and the connection at the intersection via a pivot shaft better accommodates the slight swaying of the walking mechanism during operation, further improving equipment stability.

[0026] In addition, the bullhorn bar provides a stable mounting position for the damper, ensuring that the damper can function effectively and further improving the shock absorption effect of the equipment; the balance bar can further increase the number of traveling wheels, expand the contact area between the traveling wheels and the track, effectively reduce slippage, and improve the operational stability of the equipment; the motor drives the traveling wheels to rotate through pulleys and synchronous belts, enabling the synchronous movement of multiple traveling wheels, ensuring that the crossbeam moves smoothly on the track, and further improving the operational accuracy and stability of the equipment.

[0042] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] This embodiment relates to a plate conveying device with improved stability. In terms of overall structure, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a column 1, a truss 2, a track 3, and a traveling mechanism 5.

[0044] Among them, the columns 1 are installed on the ground and there are multiple columns 1 arranged in two rows. There are two trusses 2, which are laid horizontally on the two rows of columns 1 respectively. The track 3 is laid along the length of the truss 2. The walking mechanism 5 moves along the length of the track 3. A crossbeam 4 is set between the two walking mechanisms 5. A lifting rod that drives the plate to rise and fall is set on the crossbeam 4.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the columns 1 can be installed on the ground with expansion bolts. The columns 1 are arranged in two rows, and the crossbeam 4 slides back and forth laterally between the two rows of columns 1. That is, the sheet material can move between the two rows of columns 1, which can be used to process the sheet material. The number of columns 1 in each row can be determined by the distance the sheet material needs to be transported. The truss 2 is bolted to the top of the columns 1. The truss 2 facilitates the installation of the track 3. Driven by the traveling mechanism 5, the crossbeam 4 can be moved along the length of the track 3, thereby realizing the transportation of the sheet material. It should be noted that the bottom of the lifting rod can use a suction cup or a gripper to grab the sheet material. The lifting rod can be driven by a winch or a rack and pinion. The lifting rod with a winch or rack and pinion is a common lifting device in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Based on the above overview, this embodiment presents an exemplary structure for a plate conveying device that improves stability, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the walking mechanism 5 includes a mounting plate 501 fixedly mounted at the end of the crossbeam 4, multiple walking wheels 502 rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 501, and a walking belt 503 sleeved on the multiple walking wheels 502. The crossbeam 4 is provided with a drive mechanism 504 that drives the walking wheels 502 to move.

[0047] Specifically, there are two sets of walking mechanisms 5, located on two tracks 3 respectively. The crossbeam 4 is installed between the two walking mechanisms 5. That is, mounting plates 501 are set at both ends of the crossbeam 4. The walking wheels 502 are located on the side of the mounting plates 501 away from the crossbeam 4. This arrangement ensures that the walking wheels 502 can move within the track 3. The walking belt 503 can increase the contact area between the track 3 and the walking wheels 502. This arrangement can prevent the walking wheels 502 from slipping when starting. The drive mechanism 504 can drive the walking wheels 502 at both ends of the crossbeam 4 to rotate simultaneously. This arrangement ensures the stability of the crossbeam 4 when moving and keeps the crossbeam 4 moving in parallel.

[0048] As a preferred option, such as Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, a support rod 505 is rotatably mounted on the sliding plate, and a traveling wheel 502 is rotatably mounted on the support rod 505. There are two support rods 505, and a damper 506 is provided between the two support rods 505. It should be noted that the cooperation between the support rod 505 and the damper 506 can improve the stability of the traveling mechanism 5 and the lifting rod during operation, and avoid vibration problems during operation. When the plate is lifted, the crossbeam 4 is subjected to a downward force, the traveling wheel 502 abuts against the track 3, and the support rod 505 will swing slightly. At this time, the damper 506 can prevent the support rod 505 from swinging multiple times, thereby achieving a shock absorption effect and improving the stability of the lifting rod during lifting.

[0049] As a preferred option, it remains as follows Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the support rod 505 is an arc-shaped rod, and the two support rods 505 are arranged in a cross shape. The intersection is connected by a pivot. The walking wheel 502 is rotatably connected to the end of the support rod 505. The back of the support rod 505 is fixedly provided with a horn rod 507 for the damper 506 to be installed. It should be noted that one end of the support rod 505 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 501, and the other end is rotatably connected to the traveling wheel 502. A balance bar 508 can be added at this point. The balance bar 508 is rotatably connected to the support rod 505, and the traveling wheels 502 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the balance bar 508. This arrangement increases the number of traveling wheels 502, further increasing the contact area between the traveling belt 503 and the track 3. The support rod 505 ensures that the traveling wheel 502 and the track 3 can always maintain contact under force, avoiding slippage and improving stability. The purpose of the arc shape of the support rod 505 is to increase the stress strength of the support rod 505 and facilitate the crossing of two support rods 505. The crossing point is located in the middle of the support rod 505. The horn rod 507 is set away from the arc shape of the support rod 505. The two ends of the damper 506 are rotatably connected to the horn rods 507 on the two support rods 505 respectively. This arrangement ensures the stability of the support rod 505 under force.

[0050] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 5As shown, the drive mechanism 504 in this embodiment includes a motor 5041 fixedly mounted on the crossbeam 4, and a driven rod 5042 driven by the motor 5041, passing through two mounting plates 501. Pulleys 5043 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the driven rod 5042. One of the traveling wheels 502 is keyed to the same pulley 5043, and the two pulleys 5043 are driven by a synchronous belt. Specifically, the driven rod 5042 is keyed to the motor 5041, which is fixed in the middle of the crossbeam 4. Both ends of the driven rod 5042 are connected to the mounting plates 501 via bearings. After extending out of the mounting plates 501, it is keyed to the pulleys 5043. Driven by the pulleys 5043, the traveling wheels 502 are driven to rotate. Multiple traveling wheels 502 are connected by a traveling belt 503. This arrangement ensures that multiple traveling wheels 502 can move simultaneously, thereby increasing the contact area between the traveling wheels 502 and the track 3 and preventing slippage.

[0051] In this embodiment, the plate conveying equipment with improved stability features a walking belt 503 that increases the contact area between the walking wheels 502 and the track 3, effectively reducing slippage of the walking wheels 502 during startup and further improving conveying stability. The two sets of walking mechanisms 5 ensure the balance of the crossbeam 4 during movement, avoiding offset problems caused by uneven force on one side, further enhancing the stability of the equipment. The cooperation between the support rod 505 and the damper 506 effectively absorbs the vibration generated by the walking mechanism 5 during operation, reducing plate position offset caused by vibration and improving conveying accuracy. The cross design of the arc-shaped support rod 505 enhances the structural strength of the support rod 505, and the connection at the intersection via a rotating shaft better adapts to the slight swaying of the walking mechanism 5 during operation, further improving the stability of the equipment.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
