Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sheet metal destacking technology, and specifically relates to a sheet metal destacking clamp. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production processes involving sheet metal processing, adjacent sheets are prone to sticking together. Therefore, during destacking, it's necessary to separate the stuck sheets. This separation process begins with using an adsorption device to pick up the sheets from the stack, followed by manual observation or other detection methods to determine if sticking exists. If separation is performed directly during adsorption and observation, the sheets are prone to displacement, causing misalignment and preventing them from reaching their intended processing or storage location. Conversely, if they are repositioned after adsorption and observation before separation, the sheets become tightly adhered, making placement in the designated location inconvenient.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0031] This utility model provides a sheet metal destacking clamp, solving the current technical problem of inconvenient sheet separation during sheet metal destacking. The sheet metal destacking clamp includes a frame assembly 1, a suction cup assembly 2, a sponge suction cup assembly 3, and a sheet separation assembly 4, wherein:

[0032] like Figure 1-2As shown, the frame assembly 1 is used to provide installation positions for other components. The frame assembly 1 can be installed in positions such as robotic arms, cylinders, and hydraulic cylinders, so that other components can be moved synchronously by moving the frame assembly 1.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, the suction cup assembly 2 is installed on the frame assembly 1. The suction cup assembly 2 is used to adhere to the surface of the board 10. By expelling the air between the suction cup and the board 10, the suction cup is made to adhere tightly to the board 10. As the frame assembly 1 moves, the suction cup moves the board 10. The number of suction cups can be used according to the specific needs of use, so that the suction cups can adhere to boards 10 of different weights.

[0034] The sponge suction cup assembly 3 is installed on the frame assembly 1. There are two sponge suction cups, with the suction cup assembly 2 located between the two sponge suction cup assemblies 3. The sponge suction cup assembly 3 is used to adsorb the position near both ends of the board 10, so that the force is more even when adsorbing the board 10. The sponge suction cup assembly 3 is used to first contact and adsorb the board 10. When only one board 10 is adsorbed, the suction cup assembly 2 adsorbs the board 10 to fix the board 10 more stably. When the sponge suction cup assembly 3 adsorbs multiple boards 10, the sponge suction cup assembly 3 can reposition the adsorbed board 10 and adsorb it again, or other parts can be used to separate the other boards 10 and then adsorbed and fixed by the suction cup assembly 2. The sponge suction cup assembly 3 is used for the initial adsorption of the board 10, which makes it easier to observe the board 10. After the sponge suction cup assembly 3 adsorbs the board 10, it is easier to place the board 10. The sponge suction cup assembly 3 can be used for more types of board 10, has a good cushioning effect, reduces damage to the surface of the board 10, and thus facilitates multiple adsorption when separating multiple boards 10.

[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the sheet separation component 4 is installed on the frame component 1 and is located at one end of the frame component 1, so as to apply force to the edge of the sheet 10, so that the edge of the sheet 10 is separated first, and then the entire sheet 10 is separated. In one embodiment of this invention, there are two sheet separation components 4, which are located at opposite ends of the frame component 1, so as to separate the sheet 10 at both ends when multiple sheets 10 are adsorbed together, thereby improving the separation efficiency of the sheet 10.

[0036] With the above structure, the destacking fixture for sheet metal 10 provided by this utility model, when destacking sheet metal 10, firstly, the frame assembly 1 moves towards the sheet metal 10 to be destacking, then the sponge suction cup assembly 3 picks up the sheet metal 10. When the sponge suction cup assembly 3 picks up multiple sheet metal 10s, the sponge suction cups place the sheet metal 10s and then the sheet-separating assembly 4 separates the sheet metal 10s. After the sponge suction cup assembly 3 picks up only one sheet metal 10, the suction cup assembly 2 picks up the sheet metal 10 again to fix the sheet metal 10 stably. Therefore, when the sheet metal 10 is separated, the sponge suction cup assembly 3 is used to initially observe whether the sheet metal 10s are stuck together. When the sheet metal 10s are stuck together, it is more convenient to separate and place the sheet metal 10s. When the sheet metal 10s are not stuck together, the suction cup assembly 2 picks up and fixes the sheet metal 10s, and the sponge suction cup assembly 3 assists in the suction, which can make the suction of the sheet metal 10s more stable.

[0037] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: To facilitate the adsorption of the board 10 by the sponge suction cup assembly 3, the board 10 destacking fixture further includes a floating assembly 5, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the floating component 5 is installed on the frame component 1, and the sponge suction cup component 3 is installed on the floating component 5. The floating component 5 is used to drive the sponge suction cup component 3 to move in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the board 10. When the sponge suction cup adsorbs the board 10, firstly, the frame component 1 drives the sponge suction cup component 3 to approach the board 10 to be adsorbed. Then, the floating component 5 drives the sponge suction cup component 3 to abut against the board 10 and adsorb the board 10. The floating component 5 then drives the sponge suction cup component 3 to move a certain distance away from the board 10. When it is detected that only one board 10 has been adsorbed, the suction cup component 2 adsorbs the board 10 again. When it is detected that multiple boards 10 have been adsorbed, the sheet-splitting component 4 splits the board 10 into sheets, and then the suction cup component 2 adsorbs them. The floating component 5 makes it easy to observe whether the boards 10 are stuck together.

[0038] An optional implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-3As shown, the sheet separation assembly 4 includes a mounting plate 41, a vibrating cylinder 42, and a corrugated suction cup 43. The mounting plate 41 is mounted on the frame assembly 1, and the vibrating cylinder 42 is mounted on the mounting plate 41. The mounting plate 41 is used to connect the frame assembly 1 and the vibrating cylinder 42. The end of the vibrating cylinder 42 near the sheet 10 is a telescopic end. The corrugated suction cup 43 is mounted on the telescopic end of the vibrating cylinder 42. When separating multiple sheets 10, the corrugated suction cup 43 adheres to the surface of the sheet 10. The vibrating cylinder 42 moves back and forth, applying force to the sheet 10 to make the sheet 10 vibrate, causing the sheet 10 that is not adhered by the suction cup of the sponge suction cup assembly 3 to fall off, thereby separating the sheet 10. During the reciprocating movement of the vibrating cylinder 42, the height difference is compensated by the extension and retraction of the corrugated suction cup 43, thereby reducing the damage to the suction cup caused by the vibrating cylinder 42 during the vibration process.

[0039] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: To accommodate the destacking of different sheet materials 10, the sheet material destacking fixture further includes an edge-mounting component 6, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the edge-mounting component 6 is installed on the opposite sides of the frame component 1. The edge-mounting component 6 detects the edge position of the board 10, thereby determining the position of the board 10, so as to align the suction cup component 2 and the sponge suction cup component 3 with the board 10, thereby realizing the destacking of different boards 10. The edge-mounting component 6 can determine the position of the board 10 by contacting the edge of the board 10, measuring the distance between the board 10 and the edge-mounting component 6.

[0040] An optional implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, the edge-mounted assembly 6 includes a first cylinder 61, a second cylinder 62, and a photoelectric sensor 63. The first cylinder 61 is mounted on one side of the frame assembly 1, and its extension / retraction end moves along a first direction. The second cylinder 62 is mounted on the extension / retraction end of the first cylinder 61. The extension / retraction of the first cylinder 61 drives the second cylinder 62 to move along the first direction. The extension / retraction end of the second cylinder 62 moves along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the surface of the plate 10. The photoelectric sensor 63 is mounted on the extension / retraction end of the second cylinder 62 and is used to detect the photoelectric sensor. The distance between the photoelectric sensor 63 and the board 10 is adjusted to facilitate the determination of the board 10's position. The extension and retraction of the first cylinder 61 causes the photoelectric sensor 63 to move along the first direction, thereby adjusting the distance between the photoelectric sensor 63 and the side of the board 10. Simultaneously, it can detect whether the board 10 is stuck. The second cylinder 62 adjusts the distance between the photoelectric sensor 63 and the surface of the board 10. Through the cooperation of the first cylinder 61, the second cylinder 62, and the photoelectric sensor 63, different boards 10 can be positioned to facilitate the suction cup assembly 2 and the sponge suction cup assembly 3 to adsorb and grasp the board 10. Figure 1 As shown, the first direction is the x-direction, and the second direction is the z-direction.

[0041] An optional implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, in order to facilitate the driving of suction cup assembly 2, sponge suction cup assembly 3, sheet separation assembly 4, and edge-adjusting assembly 6, the sheet 10 destacking fixture also includes an air source assembly 7 and a vacuum generator 8. The air source assembly 7 and vacuum generator 8 are both mounted on the frame assembly 1. The suction cup assembly 2, sponge suction cup assembly 3, sheet separation assembly 4, and edge-adjusting assembly 6 are all connected to the air source assembly 7 and vacuum generator 8. The air source assembly 7 and vacuum generator 8 drive the suction cup assembly 2, sponge suction cup assembly 3, and corrugated suction cup 43 to adsorb or release the sheet 10, and cause the shaking cylinder 42, the first cylinder 61, and the second cylinder 62 to extend and retract. The air source assembly 7 and vacuum generator 8 are both located within the frame, so that they do not come into contact with the sheet 10 when adsorbing it.

[0042] An optional implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-2As shown, the frame assembly 1 includes multiple first support rods 11 and second support rods 12. The axial direction of the multiple first support rods 11 extends along a first direction. The second support rods 12 are arranged parallel to each other, and their axial direction extends along a third direction, which is perpendicular to the plane containing the first and second directions. The number and length of the first support rods 11 can be adjusted according to the specific usage environment. In one embodiment provided in this example, the outermost first support rods 11 and second support rods 12 surround to form a frame. The suction cup assembly 2 and the sheeting assembly 4 are installed on the first support rods 11, and the floating assembly 5 and the edge-adjusting assembly 6 are installed on the second support rods 12. Figure 1 As shown, the first direction is parallel to the x-axis, the second direction is parallel to the z-axis, and the third direction is parallel to the y-axis.

[0043] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: T-shaped grooves are provided on the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12. The suction cup assembly 2, the sheeting assembly 4, the floating assembly 5, the edge-adjusting assembly 6, the air source assembly 7, and the vacuum generator 8 are all provided with T-shaped blocks that are adapted to the T-shaped grooves and are fixed in the T-shaped grooves by bolts or other means. By allowing the T-shaped blocks to slide along the T-shaped grooves, it is convenient to adjust the position of the suction cup assembly 2, the sheeting assembly 4, and other components, so as to be suitable for different sheet materials 10.

[0044] An optional implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, in order to facilitate the removal of the sheet 10, the sheet 10 destacking fixture also includes a lifting cylinder 9, which is mounted on the frame assembly 1. When it is necessary to remove the sheet 10 adsorbed by the suction cup assembly 2 or the sponge suction cup assembly 3, the extension end of the lifting cylinder 9 is brought into contact with the sheet 10 and extended in the direction close to the sheet 10, thereby pushing the sheet 10 to be removed from the suction cup assembly 2 or the sponge suction cup assembly 3.

[0045] In summary, the destacking fixture for sheet metal 10 provided by this utility model, when destacking sheet metal 10, firstly, the frame assembly 1 moves closer to the sheet metal 10 to be destacking. The extension and retraction of the first cylinder 61 causes the photoelectric sensor 63 to move along a first direction, thereby adjusting the distance between the photoelectric sensor 63 and the side of the sheet metal 10. Simultaneously, it can detect whether the sheet metal 10 is stuck together. The second cylinder 62 adjusts the distance between the photoelectric sensor 63 and the surface of the sheet metal 10. Through the cooperation of the first cylinder 61, the second cylinder 62, and the photoelectric sensor 63, the sheet metal 10 is positioned to facilitate the suction cup assembly 2 and the sponge suction cup assembly 3 to adsorb and grasp the sheet metal 10. Then, the sponge suction cup assembly 3 picks up the sheet metal 10. When the sponge suction cup assembly 3 picks up multiple sheet metal 10s, after the sponge suction cups place the sheet metal 10, the lifting cylinder 9... The telescopic end abuts against the plate 10 and extends towards the plate 10, thereby pushing the plate 10 or the sponge suction cup assembly 3 to fall off. The corrugated suction cup 43 is attached to the surface of the plate 10. The vibrating cylinder 42 moves back and forth to apply force to the plate 10, causing the plate 10 to vibrate, so that the plate 10 that is not attached by the sponge suction cup assembly 3 falls off, thereby separating the plate 10. After the sponge suction cup assembly 3 has only picked up one plate 10, the suction cup assembly 2 picks up the plate 10 again to fix the plate 10 in a stable position. When the plate 10 moves to the designated position, the air source assembly 7 provides air to the suction cup assembly 2 and the sponge suction cup assembly 3, so that the suction cup assembly 2 and the sponge suction cup assembly 3 are separated from the plate 10. At the same time, the lifting cylinder 9 extends towards the plate 10, thereby pushing the plate 10 to fall off from the suction cup assembly 2 and the sponge suction cup assembly 3. Therefore, when the sheet 10 is split into sheets, the sponge suction cup assembly 3 is used to initially observe whether the sheet 10 is stuck together. When the sheet 10 is stuck together, it is more convenient to split and place the sheet 10. When the sheet 10 is not stuck together, the suction cup assembly 2 adsorbs and fixes the sheet 10, and the sponge suction cup assembly 3 assists in adsorbing the sheet 10 more stably.

[0046] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope described in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
