[0002] Currently, laser processing technology is being used more and more widely. Laser processing equipment is commonly used to cut, engrave, mark and process sheet materials. To prevent the sheet material from shifting during processing, clamping components are usually used to hold the edges of the sheet material to fix it. However, some sheet materials are thin, which means that when the sheet material is clamped onto the clamping components of the processing equipment, the clamping force applied to the sheet material often causes the sheet material to arch and deform during the loading and clamping process, which affects the processing accuracy and processing effect.

[0011] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly includes:

[0012] A base extending along a second direction, the base being slidably connected to the frame;

[0013] A pressure member is disposed opposite to the base and is movable in a third direction to move closer to or further away from the base;

[0014] The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0015] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly further includes a driving structure connected to the pressing member for driving the pressing member to move along the third direction.

[0049] This utility model proposes a material loading device 100.

[0050] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the material loading device 100 includes a frame 10 and two sets of clamping mechanisms 20. The frame 10 is provided with a material loading area 12. The two sets of clamping mechanisms 20 are arranged side by side on the frame 10 and located above the material loading area 12. Each clamping mechanism 20 includes a clamping component 21 that can be slidably arranged along the first direction X, and a traction component 22 for guiding the clamping component 21 to slide.

[0051] The material carrier 100 proposed in this embodiment is used in a processing equipment to clamp and fix a workpiece 2000. The processing equipment also includes a processing head 200 positioned above the material carrier 100, which processes the workpiece 2000 fixed on the material carrier 100. Optionally, the processing head 200 can be configured as a laser output head for laser welding, laser cutting, laser marking, laser engraving, etc.; it can also be configured as a cutting tool, inkjet head, etc., using the cutting tool to perform engraving, cutting, drilling, grinding, etc., on the workpiece 2000, and using the inkjet head to perform inkjet printing on the workpiece 2000. Of course, the processing equipment can be equipped with two or more processing heads 200 to achieve different types of processing operations, improving the compatibility and applicability of the processing equipment.

[0052] The frame 10 serves as the supporting foundation for the entire material loading device 100 and can be used to install and fix other components of the material loading device 100, such as the clamping mechanism 20. In some embodiments, it can also be used to install a detection mechanism, which can be configured to detect the installation status of the workpiece 2000 or the sliding position of the clamping assembly 21, etc. The frame 10 is provided with a material loading area 12, and the two sets of clamping mechanisms 20 of the material loading device 100 are respectively fixed in the material loading area 12. The clamping mechanism 20 can be used to clamp the edge area of ​​the workpiece 2000. In specific applications, the two sets of clamping mechanisms 20 respectively clamp the two edge areas of the workpiece 2000 along the first direction X to achieve the fixation of the workpiece 2000.

[0053] The clamping assembly 21 of the clamping mechanism 20 can be configured as a gripper structure, or it can be configured as including a base 211 and a pressure member 212 arranged opposite to each other. The pressure member 212 can move closer to or away from the base 211 under the drive of the drive structure 213. In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 21 is slidably connected to the frame 10. This configuration allows for adjustment of the distance between the two clamping assemblies 21 by sliding the clamping assembly 21 to accommodate clamping and fixing workpieces 2000 of different widths, thus improving applicability. In addition, after clamping the workpiece 2000, the workpiece 2000 can be flattened by sliding the clamping assembly 21 away from the other clamping assembly 21, thereby avoiding the problem of arching deformation of the workpiece 2000 after clamping.

[0054] The clamping mechanism 20 also includes a traction component 22 for guiding the clamping assembly 21 to slide. Optionally, the traction component 22 can be configured as a drive mechanism for moving the clamping assembly 21, or as a guide mechanism for guiding and limiting the sliding process of the clamping assembly 21. By setting the traction component 22, the clamping assembly 21 can slide more stably along the first direction X, avoiding the clamping assembly 21 from being misaligned and affecting the flattening effect on the workpiece 2000. Optionally, the traction component 22 can be configured as a telescopic mechanism that can be extended and retracted along the first direction X, or as a linkage mechanism. In addition, a drive member 23 can be set in the clamping mechanism 20 to drive the traction component 22 to move and drive the clamping assembly 21 to slide. For example, a cylinder piston assembly can be used as the drive member 23 and the traction component 22; or in the embodiments below, the traction component 22 can be configured as a linkage mechanism, and a drive motor can be used as the drive member 23 to drive the linkage mechanism to extend or fold to drive the clamping assembly 21 to slide. Of course, in some embodiments, the traction assembly 22 and the clamping assembly 21 can also be manually driven by the operator, which is not limited here.

[0055] In other words, the technical solution of this application provides a clamping mechanism 20, which is formed by a combination of a clamping assembly 21 and a traction assembly 22, on the loading device 100. The clamping assembly 21 can slide on the frame 10, and the traction assembly 22 guides the clamping assembly 21 to slide stably along the first direction X, so that the two sets of clamping assemblies 21 move closer or further apart. When it is necessary to fix workpieces 2000 such as sheet metal, the two sets of clamping assemblies 21 clamp the two ends of the workpiece 2000 respectively, causing the two sets of clamping assemblies 21 to move in opposite directions, thereby flattening the workpiece 2000. This avoids the problem of arching deformation of the workpiece 2000 after clamping, ensuring that the workpiece 2000 remains flat after clamping. This prevents machining defects and guarantees machining accuracy and effect.

[0056] Optional, please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 21 is provided with a drive structure 213 such as a cylinder or motor, and the loading device 100 also includes a bent drag chain 50, one end of which is connected to the clamping assembly 21 and the other end is fixed to the frame 10. At this time, the air pipe or cable connected to the drive structure 213 can be passed through the drag chain 50 to protect the air pipe or cable.

[0057] In some implementations, the air tube or cable can be configured as a helical spring structure, such as a spring cable. The helical spring structure itself can elastically expand and contract, so there is no need to set up a cable chain 50 for threading the air tube and cable; of course, the air tube or cable can still be set in the cable chain 50.

[0058] Please see Figure 1In one embodiment, the traction component 22 is located on the side of the clamping component 21 that is opposite to the other clamping mechanism 20.

[0059] When the loading device 100 of this application is used to fix the workpiece 2000, the workpiece 2000 is fixed in the area between the two clamping components 21. By setting the traction component 22 on the side of the clamping component 21 that is away from the other clamping component 21, it is possible to avoid the traction component 22 restricting the movement stroke and distance of the clamping component 21, and also to avoid the traction component 22 interfering with the workpiece 2000 fixed between the two clamping components 21, and to avoid accidentally damaging the traction component 22 during processing.

[0060] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the traction assembly 22 includes a first link 221 and a second link 222 that are hinged to each other. The first link 221 is rotatable relative to the frame 10, and the two ends of the second link 222 are rotatably connected to the first link 221 and the clamping assembly 21, respectively.

[0061] In this embodiment, the traction assembly 22 is configured as a linkage mechanism, including a first link 221 and a second link 222 hinged to each other. The end of the second link 222 away from the hinge position is hinged to the clamping assembly 21. Optionally, the end of the first link 221 away from the second link 222 can be hinged to the frame 10. When the clamping mechanism 20 is provided with a driving member 23, the end of the first link 221 away from the second link 222 can also be connected to the driving member 23. With this configuration, the first link 221 and the second link 222 can be unfolded or folded along the first direction X, so that the traction assembly 22 occupies less space while the clamping assembly 21 has a larger movement space.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 20 further includes a driving member 23, which is fixed to the frame 10. The two ends of the first link 221 are rotatably connected to the second link 222 and the driving member 23, respectively. The driving member 23 is used to drive the first link 221 to swing so as to drive the second link 222 to move, so as to drive the clamping assembly 21 to slide along the first direction X.

[0063] In this embodiment, a driving component 23 is provided to drive the first link 221 to swing, thereby causing the second link 222 to fold or unfold relative to the first link 221, so as to drive the clamping assembly 21 to slide along the first direction X, realizing automated operation and facilitating the rapid sliding of the clamping assembly 21. Optionally, the driving component 23 can be configured as a drive motor, such as a stepper motor, servo motor, or DC motor.

[0064] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 20 is provided with at least two sets of traction components 22, and the at least two sets of traction components 22 are connected to the clamping component 21.

[0065] In this embodiment, guiding the clamping assembly 21 to slide by two or more sets of traction components 22 is beneficial to improving the sliding stability of the clamping assembly 21.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 21 includes a base 211 and a pressing member 212. The base 211 extends along the second direction Y and is slidably connected to the frame 10. The pressing member 212 is disposed opposite to the base 211 and can move along the third direction Z to approach or move away from the base 211. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0067] In this embodiment, the third direction Z is vertical, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are both parallel to the plane where the material loading area 12 is located. The clamping assembly 21 includes a base 211 and a pressing member 212 disposed opposite to each other along the third direction Z. The base 211 is slidably connected to the frame 10, and the pressing member 212 is disposed above the base 211 and can be raised and lowered relative to the base 211. In a specific application, the workpiece 2000 can be placed on the base 211 first, and the pressing member 212 descends to press and fix the workpiece 2000.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 21 further includes a driving structure 213, which is connected to the pressing member 212 and is used to drive the pressing member 212 to move along a third direction Z.

[0069] The drive structure 213 can be configured as a lifting cylinder, or as a combination of a drive motor and a transmission structure. For example, it can be configured as a drive motor and a lead screw transmission structure, with one of the lead screw and lead screw nut connected to the pressure member 212, and the drive motor driving the other of the lead screw and lead screw nut to rotate. Of course, the transmission structure can also be configured as a worm gear structure, a gear and rack structure, etc., and is not limited here. Using the drive mechanism 213 to drive the lifting and lowering of the pressure member 212 can achieve automated control and improve ease of use.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the frame 10 includes two guide rails 11 arranged side by side, the guide rails 11 extending along a first direction X, and the two ends of the base 211 are slidably connected to the two guide rails 11 respectively.

[0071] In this embodiment, two guide rails 11 are provided on the frame 10, extending along the first direction X, so that both ends of the base 211 of the clamping assembly 21 are slidably connected to the two guide rails 11 respectively. This can be achieved by using a guide rail 11 slider mechanism, connecting the end of the base 211 to the slider, or, as in the following embodiment, by using a first rolling element 2112 that rolls with the guide rail 11. The guide rails 11 guide and limit the sliding process of the clamping assembly 21, improving the stability of the sliding process.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the base 211 includes a seat body 2111 extending along the second direction Y and a first rolling element 2112 connected to the end of the seat body 2111; the first rolling element 2112 is disposed in the guide rail 11 and can roll relative to the guide rail 11 to make the clamping assembly 21 slide along the first direction X.

[0073] In this embodiment, the base 211 includes a seat body 2111 and a first rolling element 2112. The seat body 2111 and the pressing element 212 are arranged opposite to each other to form a clamping space. The first rolling element 2112 is rotatably disposed at the end of the seat body 2111. The first rolling element 2112 can be directly connected to the seat body 2111, or a connecting structure 2113 can be provided at the end of the seat body 2111 for mounting the first rolling element 2112. The first rolling element 2112 is supported on the guide rail 11 and can roll along the guide rail 11 to allow the clamping assembly 21 to slide along the guide rail 11. In this arrangement, the clamping assembly 21 and the guide rail 11 experience rolling friction, which helps reduce the frictional force between the clamping assembly 21 and the guide rail 11, allowing the clamping assembly 21 to slide more smoothly and stably. Optionally, the first rolling element 2112 can be configured as a roller, a ball, or other structure.

[0074] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the guide rail 11 includes a top plate 111, a first side plate 112, and a support base 113. The first side plate 112 is disposed between the top plate 111 and the support base 113, and the support base 113, the first side plate 112, and the top plate 111 enclose an installation space 115. The roller is located in the installation space 115 and is supported by the support base 113.

[0075] In this embodiment, the guide rail 11 includes a top plate 111, a first side plate 112, and a support base 113. The top plate 111 and the support base 113 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction (i.e., the third direction Z), and the top plate 111 is located above the support base 113. The first side plate 112 is used to connect the top plate 111 and the support base 113. The top plate 111, the first side plate 112, and the support base 113 enclose an installation space 115 for accommodating the first rolling element 2112. The installation space 115 can accommodate... The first side plate 112 can be located on the side facing the other guide rail 11, or on the side facing away from the guide rail 11. The first rolling element 2112 is placed in the installation space 115 and supported on the support base 113, which improves the stability of the mating structure between the first rolling element 2112 and the guide rail 11. Furthermore, the guide rail 11 covers most of the surface of the first rolling element 2112, which can effectively achieve dust prevention and prevent foreign objects from adhering between the first rolling element 2112 and the support base 113.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the base 211 further includes a connecting structure 2113, which is connected to the end of the base body 2111 and located on the side of the first side plate 112 facing the mounting space 115; the first rolling element 2112 is disposed on the side of the connecting structure 2113 facing the mounting space 115 and is rotatably connected to the connecting structure 2113.

[0077] In this embodiment, the base 211 further includes a connecting structure 2113 connected to the end of the seat body 2111, and the first rolling element 2112 is rotatably connected to the connecting structure 2113. Optionally, the mounting space 115 and the connecting structure 2113 may be located on the side of the first side plate 112 facing away from the other guide rail 11, in which case the seat body 2111 straddles the top plate 111 of the guide rail 11; or, the mounting space 115 and the connecting structure 2113 may both be located on the side of the first side plate 112 facing the other guide rail 11.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the guide rail 11 further includes a second side plate 114 connected to the top plate 111. The second side plate 114 is located on the side of the first side plate 112 facing the mounting space 115 and is spaced apart from the support base 113.

[0079] The connecting structure 2113 includes a first block 2114, a second block 2115, and a third block 2116. The first block 2114 and the third block 2116 are respectively connected to the second block 2115 and are spaced apart. The end of the first block 2114 away from the second block 2115 is connected to the base 2111. The second side plate 114 is located between the first block 2114 and the third block 2116.

[0080] In this embodiment, the guide rail 11 also includes a second side plate 114, which is disposed opposite to the first side plate 112. At this time, the top plate 111, the first side plate 112, the second side plate 114 and the support base 113 enclose and form an installation space 115. The second side plate 114 and the support base 113 are spaced apart to form a clearance opening that communicates with the installation space 115. With this arrangement, the installation space 115 enclosed by the guide rail 11 is more enclosed, which is beneficial to improving the dustproof effect.

[0081] The connecting structure 2113 is located below the base 2111 and includes a first block 2114 connected to the base 2111, a third block 2116 for mounting the first rolling element 2112, and a second block 2115 connecting the first block 2114 and the third block 2116. The first block 2114 and the third block 2116 are spaced apart. The third block 2116 passes through the clearance between the second side plate 114 and the support base 113, so that at least part of the third block 2116 and the first rolling element 2112 mounted on the third block 2116 are located in the mounting space 115. With this arrangement, the fit between the guide rail 11 and the connecting structure 2113 is more stable, reducing the risk of the clamping assembly 21 and the guide rail 11 disengaging.

[0082] Optionally, the first block 2114 and the third block 2116 can be detachably connected to the second block 2115, or the first block 2114 and the third block 2116 can be set as an integral structure, or the second block 2115 and the third block 2116 can be set as an integral structure, or the first block 2114, the second block 2115 and the third block 2116 can be set as an integral structure as a whole, without limitation.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the base 211 further includes a second rolling element 2117 rotatably connected to the third block 2116, and the rolling surface of the second rolling element 2117 abuts against the second side plate 114.
