[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a typesetting device 100 for sheet metal, which includes a support 10, a first conveying device 20, a second conveying device 30, a third conveying device 40, a fourth conveying device 50, a guillotine device 60, and a clamping device 70.
[0036] The first conveying device 20 is mounted on the support 10 and is used to convey wooden boards along the main conveying direction. The second conveying device 30 and the third conveying device 40 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first conveying device 20 and perpendicular to it. The height of the second conveying device 30 and the third conveying device 40 is higher than that of the first conveying device 20. The second conveying device 30 and the third conveying device 40 are used to convey the wooden boards laterally and stack them on top of the wooden boards already placed on the first conveying device 20.
[0037] A guillotine device 60 is located at the end of the first conveyor device 20 and is used to cut the stacked wooden boards. A fourth conveyor device 50 is located downstream of the guillotine device 60 and is used to output the cut wooden boards. Two clamping devices 70 are symmetrically arranged at predetermined positions on both sides of the first conveyor device 20. Each clamping device 70 includes a telescopic motor 72 and a clamping frame 71 mounted on the output shaft of the telescopic motor 72. The clamping frame 71 includes a push rod 711, a stop rod 712, and a straightening rod 713.
[0038] The push rod 711 is arranged parallel to the main conveying direction, and the blocking rod 712 is vertically fixed to one end of the push rod 711 and extends in a direction perpendicular to the main conveying direction, used to laterally limit the movement of the wooden board. The straightening rod 713 is inclined and fixed to the other end of the push rod 711 and tilted towards the rear of the wooden board, used to push the rear end of the wooden board to align. The telescopic motor 72 can drive the clamping frame 71 to move in a direction perpendicular to the main conveying direction to achieve clamping and straightening of the wooden board.
[0039] The typesetting equipment 100 of this application effectively solves the problems of low efficiency, serious wood waste, and inconsistent typesetting quality caused by manual typesetting through automated conveying, stacking, clamping, correction, and cutting processes. Its symmetrical second and third conveying devices 40 achieve precise lateral stacking of wooden boards above the already typed boards; the unique clamping device 70 (including push rods 711, blocking rods 712, and correction rods 713), driven by a telescopic motor 72, reliably limits the lateral movement of the wooden boards and aligns their rear ends, ensuring neat stacking; the end cutter completes automatic cutting. Overall, it significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of typesetting and stacking, and reduces labor costs and wood waste.
[0040] For details, please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 The main function of the first conveying device 20 is to transport the wooden planks from the starting position to the designated area. The second conveying device 30 and the third conveying device 40 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the first conveying device 20 and are arranged perpendicular to the first conveying device 20. Their main function is to transport the wooden planks from both sides and stack them on the wooden planks already placed on the first conveying device 20.
[0041] The first conveyor 20 has a stacking position 21 for receiving the stacked wooden boards from the second and third conveyor 40, and a clamping position 22 for performing a clamping operation. The second and third conveyor 30 and the third conveyor 40 are higher than the first conveyor 20 to ensure that the wooden boards can be stacked smoothly. The pushing device uses a belt conveyor, which provides a smooth and efficient conveying effect.
[0042] When the first conveying device 20 delivers the wooden planks to the stacking position 21, the operation of the first conveying device 20 is paused, and the second conveying device 30 and the third conveying device 40 are started simultaneously until the lateral stacking of the wooden planks is completed.
[0043] The guillotine device 60 is located at the end of the first conveying device 20 and is used to cut the stacked wooden boards. The fourth conveying device 50, which follows immediately, is located downstream of the guillotine device 60. Its main task is to remove the cut wooden boards from the guillotine device 60 in a timely manner so that subsequent processes can be carried out.
[0044] The clamping and straightening device 70 is mounted on the bracket 10 near the guillotine device 60. Two clamping and straightening devices 70 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first conveying device 20 to clamp and align stacked wooden boards. The clamping and straightening device 70 includes a clamping frame 71 and a telescopic motor 72, with the clamping frame 71 mounted on the output shaft of the telescopic motor 72.
[0045] The clamping frame 71 includes a push rod 711, a blocking rod 712, and a straightening rod 713. The length direction of the push rod 711 is parallel to the board conveying direction, and the push rod 711 is fixed to the output shaft of the telescopic motor 72. One end of the blocking rod 712 is fixed to the end of the push rod 711 near the guillotine device 60. The blocking rod 712 is perpendicular to the board conveying direction and is used to laterally block the board, ensuring that the blocked side remains flat. The straightening rod 713 is fixed to the end of the push rod 711 away from the guillotine device 60 and is inclined relative to the push rod 711. The straightening rod 713 is used to apply a pushing force towards the center of the board's rear end when the clamping device 70 is activated, pushing the rear end of the board to align. The inclination angle is [30, 45] degrees.
[0046] When the stacked planks reach the clamping and straightening position, the blocking rod 712 effectively blocks the planks in their forward direction. Then, the telescopic motors 72 on both sides activate, pushing the output shaft and push rod 711 to clamp the planks on both sides, keeping them flat. Simultaneously, due to the inclined design of the straightening rod 713, the planks can be pushed and straightened from the rear, thus achieving full clamping and alignment of all four sides of the planks.
[0047] The typesetting equipment 100 also includes four feeding devices 80, which are respectively located at the front end of the first to fourth conveying devices for feeding wooden boards. Each feeding device 80 includes a base plate 81, a lifting motor 82, a pusher plate 83, and a pusher motor 84. The base plate 81 is located at the bottom of the entire device and is mainly used to support the stack of wooden boards to be typed. The lifting motor 82 is located on the lower surface of the base plate 81 and is fixed to the support 10. The base plate 81 is fixed to the output shaft of the lifting motor 82, which is responsible for adjusting the height of the raw material wooden boards as needed. The pusher plate 83 is located to the side of the base plate 81 and its function is to push the stacked raw material wooden boards onto the conveying device. It is fixed to the output shaft of the pusher motor 84, which is fixed to the support 10. The pusher motor 84 smoothly pushes the wooden boards onto the board conveying path through a telescopic motion, thus completing the feeding process. The lifting motor 82 is used to lift the stack of wooden boards on the base plate 81 to a predetermined height, and the push motor 84 is used to drive the push plate 83 to push a predetermined number of wooden boards from the base plate 81 onto the conveying path.
[0048] The typesetting equipment 100 is equipped with position sensors (not shown) at various locations, including the wood board stacking position 21, the clamping position 22, and the guillotine cutting position. These position sensors are connected to the equipment's control system, enabling real-time monitoring of the wood board position and feeding the data back to the control system. Based on the sensor feedback data, the control system precisely controls the operation of each device, such as adjusting the speed of the conveyor, the timing of the clamping device 70's action, and the cutting time of the guillotine device 60. Through this precise control, the typesetting equipment 100 can achieve automated and efficient wood board typesetting and cutting, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of wood production.
[0049] Meanwhile, the typesetting equipment 100 is also equipped with a fault alarm 90. When the equipment malfunctions, such as sensor failure or motor failure, the alarm system will issue an alarm in a timely manner to remind staff to carry out maintenance and ensure the stable operation of the equipment.
[0050] The workflow of typesetting equipment 100 is as follows:
[0051] First, the feeding device 80 starts working. The lifting motor 82 adjusts the height of the raw material wooden boards on the base plate 81 according to the requirements, and drives the motor 84 to drive the push plate 83 to smoothly push the raw material wooden boards onto the first conveying device 20. The first conveying device 20 transports the wooden boards from the starting position to the designated area.
[0052] Once the planks arrive at the designated area, the second conveyor 30 and the third conveyor 40 begin operation, transporting and stacking the planks from both sides onto the planks already placed on the first conveyor 20. Because their height is greater than the first conveyor 20, the planks can be stacked smoothly.
[0053] As the stacked wooden boards are conveyed forward, when they reach the clamping position 22, the position sensor detects the board's positioning information and sends it back to the control system. The control system then issues a command, and the clamping device 70 begins operation. The blocking rod 712 blocks the board's forward movement, while the telescopic motors 72 on both sides push the output shaft and push rod 711 to clamp the sides of the board. Simultaneously, the tilted straightening rod 713 pushes the straightening board from the rear, achieving full clamping and alignment of all four sides of the board.
[0054] After being clamped and aligned, the wooden planks continue to be conveyed forward until they reach the position of the guillotine device 60. The position sensor once again feeds back the position information of the wooden planks to the control system, which then precisely controls the guillotine device 60 to cut the stacked wooden planks at the appropriate time.
[0055] After the cutting is completed, the fourth conveying device 50 is immediately activated to remove the cut wooden board from the guillotine device 60 in a timely manner so that subsequent processes can be carried out.
[0056] During the entire operation, if any abnormalities occur in the equipment, such as sensor failure or motor failure, the fault alarm system will issue an alarm in a timely manner. Staff can then repair the equipment based on the alarm information to ensure its continuous and stable operation, thereby efficiently and effectively completing the board layout and cutting tasks in wood production.
