[0002] In machining and manufacturing processes, the blanking of irregularly shaped materials is often quite complex, especially for materials with irregular shapes. Traditional blanking methods require manual operation to correct the position of the irregularly shaped materials before they are blanked by a corresponding device. This blanking method is inefficient, has poor precision, and is prone to material waste.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide a device that can assist in the unloading of irregularly shaped materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary device for feeding irregularly shaped materials, in order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology.

The openings of the first section and the tail section are perpendicular to each other. The bottom of the first section is smoothly connected to the bottom of the transition section, and the bottom of the tail section is smoothly connected to the bottom of the transition section. The first section is connected to the conveying mechanism, and the tail section is connected to the unloading mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the spacing between the two sidewalls of the U-shaped groove is adapted to the irregular material body.

[0009] Preferably, the distance between the first fixing plate and the limiting plate is adapted to the irregular material body.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes two support rods, which are fixedly mounted on a connecting plate. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the operating table. A second conveyor belt connected to the tail opening is fixedly installed between the two support rods. A second fixing plate is provided on one side of the upper end face of the second conveyor belt. An L-shaped baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the second fixing plate. A limiting block is fixedly connected to the tail end of the second fixing plate. The limiting block is located above the tail end of the second conveyor belt. An L-shaped side plate corresponding to the second fixing plate is provided above the other side of the upper end face of the second conveyor belt. The L-shaped baffle, the L-shaped side plate, and the upper end face of the second conveyor belt form a transfer channel for the irregularly shaped material to enter the tail end of the second conveyor belt from the U-shaped groove.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding mechanism further includes a pneumatic cylinder connected to one of the support rods via a connecting block. The pneumatic cylinder is fixedly connected to a stop block that can move with it. The stop block is located on the outside of the L-shaped side plate. When the pneumatic cylinder is activated, the stop block abuts against the L-shaped side plate under the drive of the pneumatic cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the L-shaped side plate is provided with a folding plate on the side near the tail section.

[0013] Preferably, the unloading mechanism further includes a material picking mechanism, which includes a third conveyor belt disposed below the second conveyor belt, on which a storage box is placed.

The bottom of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected with a magnetic gripper that can follow the lifting cylinder up and down along the lifting guide rail. The magnetic gripper can grab the irregular material at the tail end of the second conveyor belt into the storage box.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention will have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] ① The fact that the openings of the first and last sections of the U-shaped groove in this utility model are perpendicular to each other ensures that no matter how the transition section is set, it will not hinder the irregular material from completing a 90° flip within the transition section.

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model, and not the only embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the irregular material unloading auxiliary device includes an operating table 1 and a conveying mechanism mounted on the operating table 1, as well as an unloading mechanism. A flipping mechanism is provided between the conveying mechanism and the unloading mechanism. The conveying mechanism is used to transport the irregular material 2 into the flipping mechanism, the flipping mechanism is used to flip the irregular material 2 inside it by 90°, and the unloading mechanism is used to unload the irregular material 2 after it has been flipped. Specifically, the flipping mechanism includes a U-shaped groove, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the U-shaped channel is divided into three sequentially connected sections: the first section 3, the transition section 4, and the tail section 5. The openings of the first section 3 and the tail section 5 are perpendicular to each other. The bottom of the first section 3 is smoothly connected to the bottom of the transition section 4, and the bottom of the tail section 5 is also smoothly connected to the bottom of the transition section 4. Specifically, the perpendicular arrangement of the openings of the first section 3 and the tail section 5 ensures that the irregular material 2 can complete a 90° rotation within the transition section 4 regardless of its configuration. More specifically, after the irregular material 2 moves to the first section 3, it enters the transition section 4 under gravity, completes a 90° rotation, and then enters the tail section 5. This allows the irregular material 2 to complete a 90° rotation without obstruction within the rotation mechanism. The first section 3 is connected to the conveying mechanism, and the tail section 5 is connected to the unloading mechanism. Thus, the irregular material 2 enters the first section 3 from the tail end of the conveying mechanism, and after a 90° rotation, it enters the unloading mechanism from the tail section 5.

[0031] It should be understood that the distance between the two side walls of the U-shaped groove is adapted to the body of the irregular material 2, that is, the width of the two side walls of the U-shaped groove should be precisely adapted to the body of the irregular material 2, so that the irregular material 2 will not be displaced or overturned when sliding in the U-shaped groove and rotating 90°.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the conveying mechanism includes two support columns 6 mounted on the operating table 1. A first conveyor belt 7 driven by a motor is fixedly installed between the two support columns 6. A first fixing plate 8 and a limiting plate 9 are respectively provided on both sides of the upper end face of the first conveyor belt 7. The limiting plate 9 can ensure that the irregular material 2 does not shift its position when it is being conveyed on the first conveyor belt 7. The first fixing plate 8, the limiting plate 9, and the upper end face of the first conveyor belt 7 form a conveying channel for the irregular material 2. The setting of the conveying channel can ensure that the irregular material 2 can be accurately conveyed on the first conveyor belt 7. Furthermore, the connection between the tail end of the conveying channel and the opening of the first section 3 can enable the irregular material 2 to accurately enter the U-shaped groove and rotate 90°.

[0033] It should also be understood that the distance between the first fixing plate 8 and the limiting plate 9 is adapted to the body of the irregular material 2. That is, the distance between the first fixing plate 8 and the limiting plate 9 should be precisely adapted to the body of the irregular material 2 so that the irregular material 2 will not be shifted or overturned in the conveying channel.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes two support rods 10, which are fixedly mounted on a connecting plate 11. The connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the operating table 1. A second conveyor belt 12, connected to the opening of the tail section 5, is fixedly installed between the two support rods 10. The irregularly shaped material 2, after being rotated 90 degrees, enters the second conveyor belt 12 from the tail section 5. A second fixing plate 13 is provided on one side of the upper end face of the second conveyor belt 12. An L-shaped baffle 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the second fixing plate 13. A limit block 15 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the second fixing plate 13. The limit block 15 is located above the tail end of the second conveyor belt 12. An L-shaped side plate 16 corresponding to the second fixed plate 13 is provided on the other side of the upper end face of the conveyor belt 12. The L-shaped baffle 14, the L-shaped side plate 16 and the upper end face of the second conveyor belt 12 form a transfer channel for the irregular material 2 to enter the tail end of the second conveyor belt 12 through the U-shaped groove. The irregular material 2 after being rotated 90 degrees is transported along the transfer channel to the tail end of the second conveyor belt 12. When the irregular material 2 after being rotated 90 degrees is transported to the tail end of the second conveyor belt 12, the limiting block 15 will block the irregular material 2 after being rotated 90 degrees and the material picking mechanism of the unloading mechanism will take it out.

[0035] Specifically, the feeding mechanism also includes a pneumatic cylinder 17 connected to one of the support rods 10 via a connecting block. The pneumatic cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to a stop block 18 that can move with it. The stop block 18 is located on the outside of the L-shaped side plate 16. When the pneumatic cylinder 17 is activated, the stop block 18 abuts against the L-shaped side plate 16 under the drive of the pneumatic cylinder 17. This arrangement can ensure that the L-shaped side plate remains in a fixed position when the irregularly shaped material 2 after being rotated 90° is transmitted along the transfer channel on the second conveyor belt 12, thereby enhancing the smooth transmission of the irregularly shaped material 2 after being rotated 90°.

[0036] In order to ensure that the irregularly shaped material 2 after being rotated 90° smoothly enters the second conveyor belt 12 from the tail section 5, a folding plate 19 is provided on the side of the L-shaped side plate 16 near the tail section 5. The folding plate 19 can prevent the irregularly shaped material 2 after being rotated 90° from tilting outward and causing material loss during the process of entering the second conveyor belt 12.

[0037] After the irregularly shaped material 2, which has been rotated 90°, enters the tail end of the second conveyor belt 12, it needs to be removed. Therefore, the unloading mechanism also includes a material picking mechanism, which includes a third conveyor belt 20 located below the second conveyor belt 12. A storage box 21 is placed on the third conveyor belt 20. The material picking mechanism also includes a magnetic suction mechanism that grabs the irregularly shaped material 2, which has been rotated 90° at the tail end of the second conveyor belt 12, into the storage box 21.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the magnetic attraction mechanism includes a motor module 22 fixedly connected to a support rod 10 near the third conveyor belt 20. A transverse guide rail 23 is provided on the motor module 22, and a transverse cylinder 24 that can slide along the transverse guide rail 23 is slidably connected to the transverse guide rail 23. A lifting guide rail 25 perpendicular to the transverse guide rail 23 is also provided on the motor module 22, and a lifting cylinder 26 that can slide along the lifting guide rail 25 is slidably connected to the lifting guide rail 25. A mating block 27 with a cavity is fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the lifting cylinder 26, and the lifting cylinder 26 is placed inside the cavity of the mating block 27. A groove 28 is provided on the side. When the lifting cylinder 26 is activated, it moves up and down along the lifting guide rail 25 to a position where it can contact the transverse cylinder 24. The two sides of the groove 28 engage with the two sides of the transverse cylinder 24, thereby engaging the mating block 27 with the transverse cylinder 24. This allows the lifting cylinder 26 and the transverse cylinder 24 to be connected. The transverse cylinder 24 can then drive the lifting cylinder 26 to slide together along the transverse guide rail 23. When it is necessary to separate the mating block 27 from the transverse cylinder 24, the moving speed of the transverse cylinder 24 is increased to complete the separation of the mating block 27 from the transverse cylinder 24.

[0039] The bottom of the lifting cylinder 26 is fixedly connected to a magnetic gripper 29 that can move up and down along the lifting guide rail 25 with the lifting cylinder 26. In this way, the magnetic gripper 29 can move up and down along the lifting guide rail 25 with the lifting cylinder 26, and at the same time move left and right along the transverse guide rail 23 with the transverse cylinder 24. This can realize the position adjustment of the magnetic gripper 29 in the up and down and left and right, and complete the purpose of the magnetic gripper 29 to grab the irregular material 2 after the second conveyor belt 12 is flipped 90° and put it into the storage box 21.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
