Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nickel sheet feeding technology, and more particularly to a nickel sheet feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Nickel is a silvery-white metal with magnetism and good ductility. It has good corrosion resistance. Nickel is a hard, ductile, and ferromagnetic metallic element that is nearly silvery-white, highly polishable, and corrosion-resistant. It turns green when dissolved in nitric acid. It is mainly used in alloys (such as nickel steel and nickel silver). After nickel is processed into nickel sheets, a robotic arm places the sheets onto a carrier tray for unloading and storage. Each carrier tray can hold a certain number of nickel sheets. When a tray is full, it needs to be replaced with an empty one. Manual tray replacement is slow and cannot keep up with the equipment's loading speed, reducing loading efficiency. Furthermore, manual operation poses certain risks; improper operation can endanger equipment or personnel. Current carrier trays can only hold nickel sheets of a single shape, resulting in poor applicability and hindering widespread adoption. Utility Model Content

[0024] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a nickel sheet feeding mechanism, including a base 100, a first moving component 200 and a gantry frame 110 mounted on the base 100, a feeding component 300 mounted on the moving component, a second moving component 400 mounted on the gantry frame 110, and a replacement component 500 mounted on the second moving component 400. The base 100 is provided with a placement area 120. The replacement component 500 travels back and forth between the placement area 120 and the feeding component 300. The feeding component 300 includes a feeding plate 310 mounted on the first moving component 200, and a detachable first material box 320 and a second material box 330 mounted on the feeding plate 310. The material carrier box 320 and the second material carrier box 330 are spaced apart. The unloading component 300 is used to carry the nickel sheet to be unloaded. The first moving component 200 is used to move the unloading component 300, and the second moving component 400 is used to move the replacement component 500. The replacement component 500 can quickly replace the first material carrier box 320 and the second material carrier box 330 on the unloading component 300. This application can perform automated replacement, which is simple and fast, ensuring the normal unloading process and the safety of the staff. At the same time, the arrangement of the first material carrier box 320 and the second material carrier box 330 can respectively carry nickel sheets of different shapes, which has strong applicability.

[0025] The feeding plate 310 is provided with a first long groove 311, a second long groove 312, a first inner circular groove 313, and a second inner circular groove 314. The first material box 320 has an integrally formed first rotating column 321 and a first long column 322. The second material box 330 has an integrally formed second rotating column 331 and a second long column 332. The first long groove 311 is connected to the first inner circular groove 313, and the second long groove 312 is connected to the second inner circular groove 314. The first long column 322 is located below the first rotating column 321, and the second long column 332 is located below the second rotating column 331. The first long column 322 passes through the first long groove 311 and is placed in the first inner circular groove 313. The second long column 332 passes through the second long groove 312 and is placed in the second inner circular groove 314. The first rotating column 321 is located in the first long groove 311, and the second rotating column 331 is located in the second long groove 312. The feeding plate 310 has a first cylinder 315 and a second cylinder 316.

The first cylinder 315 is rotatably mounted in the first rotating groove 323, and the second cylinder 316 is rotatably mounted in the second rotating groove 333. The first material container 320 is placed in the first inner circular groove 313 through the first long column 322 passing through the first long groove 311. Then, the first material container 320 is rotated so that the first long column 322 deviates from the first long groove 311, thus the first material container 320 is stably placed on the unloading plate 310. The arrangement of the first cylinder 315 and the first rotating groove 323 facilitates the rotation of the first material container 320. Similarly, the second material container 330 is placed in the second inner circular groove 314 through the second long column 332 passing through the second long groove 312. Then, the second material container 330 is rotated so that the second long column 332 deviates from the second long groove 312, thus the second material container 330 is stably placed on the unloading plate 310. The arrangement of the second cylinder 316 and the second rotating groove 333 facilitates the rotation of the second material container 330.

[0026] In this embodiment, the first material container 320 is a square material container that can hold square nickel sheets, and the second material container 330 is a round material container that can hold round nickel sheets. Alternatively, it can be replaced with other types and sizes of material containers as needed to improve applicability.

[0027] The first moving assembly 200 includes a main slide 210 and a secondary slide 220 mounted on the base 100, a first moving motor 230 mounted on the base 100, a first lead screw 240 rotatably mounted on the main slide 210, a main slider 250 mounted on the first lead screw 240, a secondary slider 260 slidably mounted on the secondary slide 220, and a first coupling 270. One end of the first coupling 270 is mounted on the first lead screw 240, and the other end of the first coupling 270 is mounted on the output end of the first moving motor 230. The main slider 250 is slidably connected to the main slide 210. One end of the feed plate 310 is mounted on the main slider 250, and the other end of the feed plate 310 is mounted on the secondary slider 260. The first moving motor 230 drives the first lead screw 240 to rotate via the first coupling 270, which in turn drives the main slider 250 to move, which in turn drives the unloading plate 310 to move, thereby driving the first material box 320 and the second material box 330 to move from the receiving point to the unloading point. The auxiliary slider 260 plays an auxiliary role in the movement.

[0028] The second moving assembly 400 includes a second slide block 410 and a second moving motor 420 mounted on the gantry frame 110, a second lead screw 430 rotatably mounted on the second slide block 410, a second slider 440 mounted on the second lead screw 430, and a second coupling 450. One end of the second coupling 450 is mounted on the second lead screw 430, and the other end is mounted on the output end of the second moving motor 420. The second slider 440 is slidably connected to the second slide block 410, and the replacement assembly 500 is mounted on the second slider 440. The second moving motor 420 drives the second lead screw 430 to rotate via the second coupling 450, thereby driving the second slider 440 to move, which in turn drives the replacement assembly 500 to move, allowing the replacement assembly 500 to reciprocate between the placement area 120 and the unloading plate 310.

[0029] The replacement component 500 includes a first mounting plate 510 mounted on the second slider 440, a rotary cylinder 520 mounted on the first mounting plate 510, a movable cylinder 530 mounted on the rotary cylinder 520, a second mounting plate 540 mounted on the movable cylinder 530, and a pneumatic gripper 550 mounted on the second mounting plate 540. The rotary cylinder 520, the movable cylinder 530, and the pneumatic gripper 550 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The first material box 320 is provided with a first clamping groove 324, and the second material box 330 is provided with a second clamping groove 325. There are two first clamping grooves 324 and they are symmetrically arranged. There are two second clamping grooves 325 and they are symmetrically arranged. When the first material carrier 320 needs to be replaced, the second moving component 400 moves the replacement component 500 above the placement area 120. Then, the moving cylinder 530 moves the pneumatic gripper 550 downward. After moving to the designated position, the pneumatic gripper 550 clamps the first material carrier 320 to be replaced. Then, the moving cylinder 530 moves the first material carrier 320 upward. Next, the second moving component 400 moves the replacement component 500 above the unloading plate 310. The moving cylinder 530 then moves the first material carrier 320 downward until it reaches the first long column. The first column 322 passes through the first long groove 311 and is placed in the first inner circular groove 313. Then, the rotary cylinder 520 operates to drive the first material box 320 to rotate, causing the first long column 322 to deviate from the first long groove 311. In this way, the first material box 320 will be stably placed on the unloading plate 310. Then, the pneumatic gripper 550 releases its grip, and the moving cylinder 530 operates to drive the pneumatic gripper 550 to move upward. The second moving component 400 operates to drive the replacement component 500 away from the unloading plate 310, completing the reset. In this way, the replacement can be completed. Similarly, when replacing the second material box 330, the above operation can be followed.

[0030] The base 100 is provided with a plurality of spaced limiting grooves 121. The limiting grooves 121 are located in the placement area 120. The first long column 322 and the second long column 332 are both matched with the limiting grooves 121. The limiting grooves 121 enable the placement area 120 to place the first material box 320 or the second material box 330 to be replaced.

[0031] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
