Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment, and specifically relates to an infeed plate guide air clamp assembly. Background Technology
[0002] During the board processing, when the board enters the next process, it needs to be placed into another processing line, but there is a height difference between the board entry point and the other processing line.
[0003] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered that the prior art has at least the following problems:
[0004] The current method involves manually placing the boards into another processing line, which is time-consuming and affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a board feeding guide air clamp assembly to address the shortcomings of the existing technology. By optimizing the air clamp assembly, the problem of manually placing the board into the processing line is solved, which helps to improve production efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A board feeding guide pneumatic clamp assembly includes a frame and a pneumatic clamping mechanism arranged sequentially along the board feeding direction. The frame includes a base plate and two side walls located on both sides of the base plate in the width direction. A plurality of conveying rollers are sequentially installed between the two side walls. The plurality of conveying rollers are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the base plate. A baffle is provided at one end of the base plate in the length direction. The pneumatic clamping mechanism includes a first clamp, a second clamp, a cylinder, and a lifting assembly. The cylinder is installed in the first clamp, and the output end of the cylinder is connected to the second clamp. A space for clamping the board is formed between the first clamp and the second clamp. The lifting assembly includes a rotating base, a support plate, and a lifting motor. The rotating base houses the rotating motor, with the output end of the rotating motor facing upwards. One end of the support plate is installed at the output end of the rotating motor, and the other end of the support plate is installed with the lifting motor. A slider is installed at the output end of the lifting motor. The first clamp has an extension, and the extension is fixed to the slider.
[0008] In some possible implementations, the first clamp is provided with a groove, one end of the cylinder is embedded in the groove, and the other end of the cylinder is connected to the second clamp.
[0009] In some possible implementations, the width of the baffle is less than the distance between the first clamp and the second clamp.
[0010] In some possible implementations, a controller is also included, which is connected to the cylinder, the rotary motor and the lifting motor respectively.
[0011] In some possible implementations, the output end of the lifting motor faces downward, the side of the slider is mounted on the output end of the lifting motor, and the side of the slider away from the support plate is fixedly connected to the extension.
[0012] One of the above technical solutions has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This invention optimizes the pneumatic clamp assembly by designing a baffle at one end of the frame base plate along its length. The baffle prevents the sheet material from being conveyed forward on the conveyor rollers. Simultaneously, a lifting motor moves the pneumatic clamp mechanism to both sides along the width of the sheet material. The output end of the cylinder drives the second clamping member to approach the first clamping member, creating space between the first and second clamping members to hold the sheet material. After clamping the sheet material, the lifting motor raises the pneumatic clamp mechanism to a preset height. A rotary motor inside the rotating base rotates the support plate by a certain degree, thus rotating the sheet material on the pneumatic clamp mechanism by a certain degree, corresponding to the position of another processing line. Then, the output end of the cylinder drives the second clamping member away from the first clamping member, releasing the sheet material and allowing it to be placed into another processing line. Compared to existing methods, this eliminates the need for manual handling, saving time and effort, and solving the problem of manually placing the sheet material into the processing line, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0036] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] The existing method involves manually placing the boards into another processing line, which is time-consuming and affects production efficiency.
[0039] like Figures 1-4As shown, the infeed guide pneumatic clamp assembly of this utility model includes a frame and a pneumatic clamping mechanism arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the plate. The frame includes a base plate 1 and two side walls 2 located on both sides of the width direction of the base plate 1. Multiple conveying rollers 3 are sequentially installed between the two side walls 2. The multiple conveying rollers 3 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the base plate 1. A baffle 4 is provided at one end of the length direction of the base plate 1. The pneumatic clamping mechanism includes a first clamp 5, a second clamp 6, a cylinder 8, and a lifting assembly. The cylinder 8 is installed in the first clamp 5, and the output end of the cylinder 8 is connected to the second clamp 6. A space for clamping the plate is formed between the first clamp 5 and the second clamp 6. The lifting assembly includes a rotating base 9, a support plate 11, and a lifting motor 12. A rotating motor 13 is installed in the rotating base 9, with the output end of the rotating motor 13 facing upward. One end of the support plate 11 is installed in the output end of the rotating motor 13, and the other end of the support plate 11 is installed in the lifting motor 12. A slider 14 is installed in the output end of the lifting motor 12. The first clamp 5 is provided with an extension 15, which is fixed to the slider 14. This invention optimizes the pneumatic clamping assembly by designing a baffle 4 at one end of the frame base plate 1 along its length. The baffle 4 prevents the sheet material from being conveyed forward on the conveyor roller 3. Simultaneously, the lifting motor 12 moves the pneumatic clamping mechanism to both sides along the width of the sheet material. The output end of the cylinder 8 drives the second clamp 6 to approach the first clamp 5, creating space between the first clamp 5 and the second clamp 6 to clamp the sheet material. After clamping the sheet material, the lifting motor 12 raises the pneumatic clamping mechanism to a preset height. The rotary motor 13 inside the rotating base 9 rotates the support plate 11 180°, thus rotating the sheet material on the pneumatic clamping mechanism 180° to the position of another processing line. Then, the output end of the cylinder 8 drives the second clamp 6 away from the first clamp 5, releasing the sheet material and placing it into another processing line. Compared to existing methods, this eliminates the need for manual handling, saving time and effort, and solving the problem of manually placing the sheet material into the processing line, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0040] It should be noted that: the base plate 1 and the two side walls 2 form a structure similar to a through groove. The two side walls 2 are perpendicular to the base plate 1. The two ends of the conveying roller 3 are installed on the two side walls 2. The side walls 2 are equipped with motors that drive the conveying roller 3 to rotate, so that each conveying roller 3 rotates in the same direction and at the same speed, thereby conveying the plate along the length direction of the base plate 1. In some other embodiments, the surface of the conveying roller 3 is provided with limiting protrusions. The distance between the two limiting protrusions is the same as the width of the plate. Each limiting protrusion is designed to surround the diameter of the conveying roller 3, which can prevent the plate from deviating on the conveying roller 3. The conveying direction of the plate is approximately the same as the length direction of the base plate 1. The width direction of the base plate 1 is perpendicular to the length direction. The length direction and the width direction are both on the same horizontal plane. The first clamp 5 and the second clamp 6 are provided with a buffer layer at the part that contacts the plate to prevent the first clamp 5 and the second clamp 6 from scratching the plate. The extension 15 extends along the length direction, so that the overall length of the first clamp 5 is greater than the length of the second clamp 6. The thickness and area of the extension 15 are greater than those of the second clamp 6, which helps to increase the contact area between the extension 15 and the slider 14 and improve the stability of the connection between the extension 15 and the slider 14. The fixing methods of the extension 15 and the slider 14 include, but are not limited to, welding, screwing, etc. The material of the first clamp 5 and the second clamp 6 is preferably steel.
[0041] In the feed plate guide air clamp assembly according to this utility model, the first clamp 5 is provided with a groove, one end of the cylinder 8 is embedded in the groove, and the other end of the cylinder 8 is connected to the second clamp 6. Specifically, a through hole is provided at the bottom of the groove, and the cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the through hole by screws. The shape of the cylinder 8 matches the shape of the groove, and the other end of the cylinder 8 is its output end. The conveying end of the cylinder 8 can drive the second clamp 6 away from or towards the first clamp 5, and the conveying end of the cylinder 8 can be fixedly connected to the second clamp 6 by screws.
[0042] In the infeed guide air clamp assembly according to this utility model, the output end of the lifting motor 12 faces downward, the side of the slider 14 is mounted on the output end of the lifting motor 12, and the side of the slider 14 away from the support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the extension 15. Specifically, the side of the lifting motor 12 is fixed to the surface of the support plate 11, and the output end of the lifting motor 12 can drive the slider 14 to move up and down. In some other embodiments, a slide rail can also be designed between the surface of the support plate 11 and the slider, and the slider 14 is slidably connected to the support plate 11 through the slide rail. The material of the slider 14 is the same as the material of the extension 15.
[0043] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0044] This invention optimizes the pneumatic clamping assembly by designing a baffle 4 at one end of the frame base plate 1 along its length. The baffle 4 prevents the sheet material from being conveyed forward on the conveyor roller 3. Simultaneously, the lifting motor 12 moves the pneumatic clamping mechanism to both sides along the width of the sheet material. The output end of the cylinder 8 drives the second clamp 6 to approach the first clamp 5, creating space between the first clamp 5 and the second clamp 6 to clamp the sheet material. After clamping the sheet material, the lifting motor 12 raises the pneumatic clamping mechanism to a preset height. The rotary motor 13 inside the rotating base 9 rotates the support plate 11 180°, thus rotating the sheet material on the pneumatic clamping mechanism 180° to the position of another processing line. Then, the output end of the cylinder 8 drives the second clamp 6 away from the first clamp 5, releasing the sheet material and placing it into another processing line. Compared to existing methods, this eliminates the need for manual handling, saving time and effort, and solving the problem of manually placing the sheet material into the processing line, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0045] Example 2
[0046] Unlike Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes a controller, which is connected to cylinder 8, rotary motor 13, and lifting motor 12. The controller is a commercially available PLC controller or embedded controller. The PLC controller uses a programmable memory to store programs and execute user-oriented instructions such as logic operations, sequential control, timing, counting, and arithmetic operations. It controls various types of machinery or production processes through digital or analog input / output. The embedded controller includes an electronic device or apparatus controlled by a microprocessor chip, timer, sequence generator, or controller, capable of performing various automated processing tasks such as monitoring and control. Data transmission is between the controller and cylinder 8, rotary motor 13, and lifting motor 12 via data lines. The controller controls cylinder 8 by controlling air pressure.
[0047] The other structures are the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.
[0048] Example 3
[0049] Unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the width of the baffle 4 is smaller than the distance between the first clamp 5 and the second clamp 6. Specifically, the minimum distance between the first clamp 5 and the second clamp 6 is greater than the width of the baffle 4, thus preventing the baffle 4 from interfering with the clamping of the plate by the first clamp 5 and the second clamp 6. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the side of the baffle 4 facing the plate can be designed as an L-shape to support the plate and facilitate clamping by the pneumatic clamping mechanism.
[0050] The other structures are the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.
[0051] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and any obvious improvements, substitutions, or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
