[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sheet material handling equipment, and specifically relates to a sheet material handling device. Background Technology

[0002] When moving boards in the workshop, vertically placed boards need to be moved to designated locations and laid flat. Since the location where the boards need to be placed is not fixed, workers usually need to move them. However, the boards are heavy and require frequent bending over to lift and put them down, which puts a lot of pressure on the workers. Furthermore, unstable force during manual handling can easily cause the boards to break. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a plate handling device that can fix the plate and can flexibly turn it to ensure that the plate is transported to a fixed position.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a plate handling device, including a fixed column, a lifting component, a connecting rod, a connecting column, and a gripper assembly. The lifting component is rotatably connected to the fixed column. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the output end of the lifting component. The upper end of the connecting column is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod. The rotation shafts of the lifting component, the connecting rod, and the connecting column are all vertically arranged. The gripper assembly is rotatably connected to the lower end of the connecting column through a flipping drive. The flipping shaft of the gripper assembly is horizontally arranged, and a positioning device is also provided on the gripper assembly, which is perpendicular to the connecting column.

[0005] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a lifting drive component and a parallelogram structure. The parallelogram structure includes a fixed frame, an upper connecting rod, a lower connecting rod, and a lifting frame. The fixed frame is vertically and rotatably mounted on a fixed column. One end of the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod are respectively hinged to the fixed frame, and the other end of the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod are respectively hinged to the lifting frame. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the lifting frame. The lifting drive component is located on the side of the fixed frame away from the lifting frame, and one end of the upper connecting rod or the lower connecting rod is connected to the output end of the lifting drive component.

[0006] Preferably, the upper end of the fixed column is connected to a supporting column via a steering knuckle, the fixing frame is fixedly installed on the upper side of the supporting column, and the lifting drive component is a lifting cylinder, which is hinged to one side of the supporting column.

[0007] Preferably, the flipping drive includes a flipping cylinder and a flipping frame. The lower side of the flipping frame is fixedly connected to the gripper assembly, and one side of the flipping frame is hinged to the connecting column. The flipping cylinder is hinged to one side of the connecting column, and the output shaft of the flipping cylinder is hinged to the flipping frame.

[0008] Preferably, the gripper assembly includes a crossbar and a first gripper and a second gripper connected to the crossbar. The crossbar is horizontally positioned, and the first gripper and / or the second gripper are connected to a clamping power member. The first gripper and / or the second gripper can move in directions that are closer to or further apart from each other.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning plate is disposed between the first gripper and the second gripper, and the positioning plate is fixedly connected to the crossbar.

[0011] Preferably, an operating frame is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting column, the operating frame is connected to the connecting column through a fixed column, and the control box is fixedly installed on the operating frame.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, the clamping jaw assembly clamps and fixes the plate. The lifting assembly can raise or lower the clamping jaw assembly to pick up or put down the plate. At the same time, the lifting assembly is rotatably connected to the fixed column, the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the lifting assembly, and the connecting column is rotatably connected to the connecting rod, forming three rotation points. This ensures the flexibility and freedom of the clamping jaw assembly. The worker only needs to control the clamping jaw assembly to transfer the plate to the designated position. Since the plate needs to be moved from vertical to horizontal, the clamping jaw assembly can be flipped and connected to the connecting column. A positioning plate is set between the first and second clamping jaws. The lower side of the positioning plate is horizontal. During handling, the positioning plate is first pressed against the surface of the plate for positioning, and then the first and second clamping jaws on both sides clamp and fix it.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] Figures 1-4 This is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is described below in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1-4 The present invention will be further described below.

[0021] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model discloses a sheet metal handling device, including a fixed column 3, a lifting assembly, a connecting rod 12, a connecting column 13, and a gripper assembly 14. The fixed column 3 is fixedly installed, and the gripper assembly 14 clamps and fixes the sheet metal. The lifting assembly drives the gripper assembly 14 to rise and fall, realizing the gripping and lowering of the gripper assembly 14. The lifting assembly is rotatably connected to the fixed column 3. One end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the output end of the lifting assembly, and the upper end of the connecting column 13 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod 12. The rotation shafts of the lifting assembly, the connecting rod 12, and the connecting column 13 are all vertically arranged. Therefore, three rotating nodes are provided between the gripper assembly 14 and the fixed column 3 to give the gripper assembly 14 sufficient rotational freedom and ensure that the gripper assembly 14 moves flexibly. Since the plate needs to be placed from vertical to horizontal, the gripper assembly 14 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the connecting column 13 through a flipping drive. The flipping axis of the gripper assembly 14 is set horizontally, and a positioning plate 27 is also provided on the gripper assembly 14. The positioning plate 27 is set perpendicular to the connecting column 13. After the gripper assembly 14 vertically clamps the vertically placed plate, it flips the gripper assembly 14 to place the plate horizontally, and then moves it.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixed base 1 is fixedly set on the horizontal ground, the fixed column 3 is set vertically and its lower end is fixedly welded to the fixed base 1, and multiple support plates 2 are inclinedly arranged around the lower end of the fixed column 3. A steering knuckle 4 is set on the upper end of the fixed column 3, and a support column 5 is connected through the steering knuckle 4. The support column 5 is also set vertically, and the rotation axis of the support column 5 is set vertically. The rotation of the support column 5 is the first rotation node, and the lifting component is connected to the support column 5.

[0023] The lifting assembly includes a lifting drive component and a parallelogram structure. The parallelogram structure includes a fixed frame 8, an upper connecting rod 9, a lower connecting rod 10, and a lifting frame 11. The fixed frame 8 is vertically mounted on the upper end of the support column 5. The upper connecting rod 9 and the lower connecting rod 10 are arranged parallel to each other. One end of the upper connecting rod 9 and the lower connecting rod 10 is hinged to the fixed frame 8. The upper connecting rod 9 and the lower connecting rod 10 are inclined, with the end hinged to the fixed frame 8 higher than the other end. The other ends of the upper connecting rod 9 and the lower connecting rod 10 are hinged to the lifting frame 11. The lifting drive component is located on the fixed frame 8 away from the lifting frame. On one side of 11, one end of the upper connecting rod 9 or the lower connecting rod 10 is connected to the output end of the lifting drive component. The lifting drive component pulls one end of the upper connecting rod 9 or the lower connecting rod 10 to rise or fall, thereby realizing the lifting of the other end of the lifting frame 11. The fixed frame 8 is set vertically, so the lifting frame 11 can ensure smooth lifting and lowering, making the transportation process more stable. A steering knuckle 4 is set on the upper side of the lifting frame 11. The connecting rod 12 is set horizontally and one end of the connecting rod 12 is connected to the steering knuckle 4 on the upper side of the lifting frame 11. This is the second rotation node.

[0024] In this embodiment, the lifting drive component is a lifting cylinder 6. A fixed plate is provided on the lower side of the support column 5, and the fixed plate is connected to the steering knuckle 4. The lifting cylinder 6 is hinged to the fixed plate. A stabilizing air tank 7 for the lifting cylinder 6 is also provided on one side of the support column 5 to make the lifting cylinder 6 pull more stably. The lifting cylinder 6 is located on the side of the fixed frame 8 away from the lifting frame 11. One end of the upper connecting rod 9 passes through the fixed frame 8. The output shaft of the lifting cylinder 6 is hinged to one end of the upper connecting rod 9. The lifting cylinder 6 drives the lifting frame 11 to rise and fall by pulling the upper connecting rod 9.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, a steering knuckle 4 is also provided on the lower side of the other end of the connecting rod 12. The connecting column 13 is vertically arranged and the upper end of the connecting column 13 is connected to the steering knuckle 4 on the lower side of the other end of the connecting rod 12. This is the third steering node. The gripper assembly 14 is connected to the lower end of the connecting column 13 via a flipping drive component. The flipping drive component includes a flipping cylinder 19 and a flipping frame 20. A hinge seat 18 is provided on one side of the connecting column 13. The flipping cylinder 19 is hinged to the hinge seat 18 on one side of the connecting column 13. The output shaft of the flipping cylinder 19 is set downward. The lower side of the flipping frame 20 is fixedly connected to the gripper assembly 14. One side of the flipping frame 20 is hinged to the connecting column 13 via a hinge shaft 21. The output shaft of the flipping cylinder 19 is hinged to the other side of the flipping frame 20. When the output shaft of the flipping cylinder 19 pulls the other side of the flipping frame 20, the flipping frame 20 will drive the gripper assembly 14 to rotate around the hinge shaft 21, thereby realizing the flipping of the gripper assembly 14 from vertical to horizontal.

[0026] The gripper assembly 14 includes a crossbar 22 and a first gripper and a second gripper connected to the crossbar 22. The crossbar 22 is horizontally arranged, and the flipping frame 20 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the crossbar 22. The first gripper and / or the second gripper are connected to a clamping power member. The first gripper and / or the second gripper can move in directions that are closer to or further away from each other. In this embodiment, the first gripper is a fixed gripper 23, and the upper end of the fixed gripper 23 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the crossbar 22. The second gripper is a clamping gripper 24, and the clamping gripper 24 is connected to a clamping power member. The clamping gripper 24 can move in directions that are closer to or further away from the fixed gripper 23. Specifically, a clamping cylinder 26 is horizontally and fixedly installed on the upper side of the crossbar 22. The upper end of the clamping jaw 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder 26 through the connecting frame 25. The clamping cylinder 26 drives the clamping jaw 24 to move, thereby realizing the clamping and releasing action. A rubber pad 28 is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the fixed jaw 23 and the clamping jaw 24. The rubber pad 28 can increase the friction between the fixed jaw 23 and the clamping jaw 24 and the plate, making the clamping more stable.

[0027] A positioning plate 27 is positioned between the fixed gripper 23 and the clamping gripper 24. The positioning plate 27 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 22, and its lower side is horizontally positioned. During handling, the positioning plate 27 is first pressed against the surface of the material for positioning. The fixed gripper 23 rests against one side of the material, and then the clamping gripper 24 clamps and fixes the material. An operating frame 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting column 13. The operating frame 16 is connected to the connecting column 13 via a fixed column 15. A control box 17 is fixedly installed on the operating frame 16. The control box 17 has several buttons for controlling the operation of various electrical components. Workers can move the gripper assembly 14 by pulling it through the operating frame 16, thereby moving the gripper assembly 14 to the designated position to place the material.

[0028] In use, the worker controls the operating frame 16 to move. Because there are three rotating nodes between the gripper assembly 14 and the fixed column 3, the gripper assembly 14 has sufficient rotational freedom, ensuring flexible movement. The gripper assembly 14 is moved to a position where the plate is placed vertically. The flipping cylinder 19 pulls the gripper assembly 14, making it vertical. Moving the gripper assembly 14 causes the positioning plate 27 to press against the upper side of the plate, while the fixed gripper 23 rests against one side of the plate. Then, the clamping cylinder 26 drives the clamping gripper 24 to clamp and fix the plate. The lifting cylinder... Cylinder 6 pulls the upper connecting rod 9, causing the lifting frame 11, connecting rod 12, connecting column 13, and gripper assembly 14 to rise, lifting the board. The flipping cylinder 19 lowers the gripper assembly 14, flipping the gripper assembly 14 and the board to a horizontal position. The worker controls the operating frame 16 to move to the position where the board needs to be placed flat. The lifting cylinder 6 pushes the upper connecting rod 9, causing the gripper assembly 14 to descend. Then, the clamping cylinder 26 drives the clamping gripper 24 to release the board. This utility model can replace manual handling with the gripper assembly 14, and multiple rotation points enable flexible steering, making it very convenient to use and reducing the workload of workers.
