Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of composite material plate processing technology, and in particular to a blanking mechanism for processing composite material plates. Background Technology
[0002] After composite panels undergo processing steps such as lamination, film application, and sizing on the production line, they are finally transported to the end of the production line via conveyor belt for unloading and stacking into transfer boxes for easy transport to storage warehouses or loading areas. Some finished composite panels are large in size, making manual handling, unloading, and stacking inefficient and labor-intensive.
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, existing patent 202222875500.2 discloses a material unloading and stacking device for sheet metal processing. This device automatically moves the placement and stacking components via a moving mechanism, and uses a vacuum suction cup to adsorb and fix the sheet metal, lifting, transferring, and unloading the sheet metal into a storage box, replacing manual unloading and stacking, thus improving the efficiency of sheet metal unloading and stacking. In the aforementioned prior art, the steps of unloading and transporting sheet metal in this device are as follows: first, the moving plate is controlled to move, driving the vacuum suction cup to synchronize with the position of the sheet metal to be transported on the conveyor belt; then, the plate metal is lowered to adsorb and pick up; then, it is moved to the top of the storage box; next, the picked-up sheet metal is lowered into the storage box; finally, the moving plate is reset. The entire unloading and stacking process is relatively cumbersome and has a significant impact on the efficiency of sheet metal unloading and stacking. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a material cutting mechanism for processing composite material boards, so as to solve the problem that the material cutting and stacking steps are cumbersome and have a significant impact on the efficiency of material cutting and stacking.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a material feeding mechanism for processing composite material plates, including a material feeding frame and a docking slide.
[0006] The material-turning frame is hinged to the unloading rack and has a vacuum suction cup embedded inside.
[0007] The second telescopic cylinder is used to drive the extension and retraction of the vacuum suction cup.
[0008] The docking frame, fixed on the unloading rack, is used for horizontal docking of open storage boxes.
[0009] The guide groove is located within the docking frame, and the limiting strip is vertically slidably located within the guide groove.
[0010] The first telescopic cylinder is hinged between the unloading frame and the tipping frame.
[0011] The linkage unit is used to coordinate the deflection of the material turning frame and the lifting and lowering of the limit bar.
[0012] During operation, the vacuum suction cup adsorbs and fixes the material, then the first telescopic cylinder pushes the flipping frame to rotate and dock with the docking frame. At the same time, the linkage causes the limit plate to descend. Then the second telescopic cylinder pushes the material into the storage box, and finally the last component resets.
[0013] Preferably, the docking slide is fixedly installed on the unloading frame, and the docking slide connects the inside of the conveyor belt and the turning frame.
[0014] Preferably, the docking frame is located at the boundary of the unloading frame adjacent to the docking slide, and the docking frame is close to the hinge boundary of the flipping frame.
[0015] Preferably, the notch of the vacuum suction cup is flush with the bottom of the inside of the horizontally positioned material-turning frame, and the second telescopic cylinder is located at the bottom of the horizontally positioned material-turning frame.
[0016] Preferably, the first telescopic cylinder is located on a vertical surface on the unloading frame opposite to the docking slide, and the output end of the first telescopic cylinder is close to the docking frame.
[0017] Preferably, a prefabricated groove is connected between the top and bottom of the unloading rack, and the end of the second telescopic cylinder away from the vacuum suction cup is interlocked with the prefabricated groove.
[0018] Preferably, the vertical surface of the limiting strip away from the turning frame is flush with the opening of the storage box, and the height of the limiting strip is half the height of the guide groove.
[0019] Preferably, the height difference between the top of the guide groove and the bottom of the docking frame is less than or equal to the height of the limiting strip.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] This invention uses a connecting slide to precisely guide the sheet metal from the conveyor belt into the turning frame, which is then fixed in place by a vacuum suction cup. The first and second telescopic cylinders extend sequentially, causing the turning frame to stand the sheet metal upright and push it directly into the storage box. Then, the second and first telescopic cylinders retract simultaneously, causing the vacuum suction cup and the turning frame to reset. This repeated operation allows the sheet metal to be stacked upright into the storage box, simplifying the sheet metal unloading and stacking process and improving stacking efficiency. Furthermore, during stacking, a linkage mechanism connects the turning frame and the limiting plate, causing the limiting plate to descend and retract, and ascend and reset, respectively, during the stacking and resetting processes. This ensures that the stacking does not obstruct the sheet metal during stacking and that the upright sheet metal in the storage box is properly positioned and aligned after stacking.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a material unloading mechanism for processing composite material panels includes an unloading rack 1 and a docking slide 9.
[0032] The flipping frame 2 is hinged to the unloading rack 1 and has a vacuum suction cup 3 embedded inside. The vacuum suction cup 3 is connected to an air guide pipe, one end of which is connected to a suction pump. This allows the suction pump to draw air from between the vacuum suction cup 3 and the board to create a vacuum suction force, thus fixing the board. Conversely, air is injected between the vacuum suction cup 3 and the board to release the board from its fixed state. The bottom height of the flipping frame 2 (unless otherwise specified, the flipping frame 2 is always horizontal) is less than the bottom height of the docking slide 9. At the same time, the bottom height of the docking slide 9 is less than the top height of the conveyor belt. This design allows the board to enter the flipping frame 2 smoothly and avoids collisions between the board and the boundaries of the flipping frame 2 and the docking slide 9 during sliding, thus preventing damage to the board and improving the protection effect during board unloading.
[0033] The second telescopic cylinder 10 is used to drive the telescopic movement of the vacuum suction cup 3.
[0034] The docking frame 4 is fixed on the unloading rack 1 and is used for horizontal docking with the open end of the storage box. The length and height of the open end of the storage box match the length and width of the sheet material, and the length and height of the vertical section inside the storage box are the same as the length and height of its open end. The open end of the storage box is equipped with a baffle that can be flipped outward 270° from bottom to top, and the top of the storage box is also designed to be open. Before the sheet material is unloaded and stacked, the baffle is flipped up to the top of the storage box to cover the open end of the top. After the sheet material is filled inside, it is flipped down to reset, confining the sheet material inside the storage box. A certain gap can be reserved inside the storage box without affecting the stability of the sheet material standing upright inside the storage box, so that the sheet material can be taken out from the open end of the top of the storage box later.
[0035] The guide groove 5 is located within the docking frame 4, and the limiting strip 6 is vertically slidably located within the guide groove 5.
[0036] The first telescopic cylinder 8 is hinged between the unloading frame 1 and the tilting frame 2.
[0037] A linkage part 7 is used to link the deflection of the tilting frame 2 and the lifting and lowering of the limiting plate 6. The linkage part 7 includes a reserved groove 71 located at the top of the unloading frame 1 and two first flat teeth 72 rotatably located at both ends of the reserved groove. Second flat teeth 73 are provided at both ends of the hinge shaft of the tilting frame 2, and third flat teeth 74 are rotatably provided at both ends of the reserved groove. The two sides of the tooth surface of the third flat teeth 74 respectively mesh with the tooth surfaces of the first flat teeth 72 and the second flat teeth 73. A rack 76 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 6 near the first flat teeth 72. A guide groove 5... There are two through slots 75 connected to the reserved slot 71. The through slots 75 correspond one-to-one with the first flat tooth 72 and also correspond one-to-one with the rack 76. One side of the tooth surface of the first flat tooth 72 passes through the interior of the through slot 75 and meshes with the tooth surface of the rack 76. With this design, when the flipping frame 2 flips upward, the limiting plate 6 is lowered by the transmission of the second flat tooth 73, the third flat tooth 74, the first flat tooth 72 and the rack 76. When the flipping frame 2 flips downward and resets, the limiting plate 6 is raised and reset in linkage.
[0038] During operation, the vacuum suction cup 3 adsorbs and fixes the plate, then the first telescopic cylinder 8 pushes the flipping frame 2 to flip and dock with the docking frame 4. At the same time, the linkage part 7 causes the limiting strip 6 to descend. Then the second telescopic cylinder 10 pushes the plate into the storage box, and finally the last part resets.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the docking slide 9 is fixed on the unloading rack 1, and the docking slide 9 connects the inside of the conveyor belt and the flipping frame 2. This design can cooperate with the conveyor belt to introduce the boards into the flipping frame 2 in sequence, avoiding interference of the unloading and stacking of the previous board by the subsequent board, so that the boards can be unloaded and stacked in an orderly and efficient manner.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the docking frame 4 is located on the unloading rack 1 at the boundary adjacent to the docking slide 9, and the docking frame 4 is close to the hinge boundary of the flipping frame 2. This design allows the width edge of the board to stand up, reducing the height of the board after it is stood up, lowering the center of gravity of the board after it is stood up, and making the board more stable after it is stood up.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the notch of the vacuum suction cup 3 is flush with the bottom of the inside of the horizontal flipping frame 2, and the second telescopic cylinder 10 is located at the bottom of the horizontal flipping frame 2. This design can prevent the vacuum suction cup 3 from obstructing the material from entering the inside of the flipping frame 2 when it is not in operation, and can also adsorb and fix the material without moving it after it has fully entered, thus improving the material fixing efficiency.
[0042] like Figure 3As shown, the first telescopic cylinder 8 is located on the vertical surface of the unloading rack 1 opposite to the docking slide 9, and the output end of the first telescopic cylinder 8 is close to the docking frame 4. This design can reduce the maximum stroke of the first telescopic cylinder 8, so that the size of the first telescopic cylinder 8 can be installed within a limited range and can operate normally, reducing space occupation and reducing interference to other things when it is operating.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, a prefabricated groove is connected between the top and bottom of the unloading rack 1. The end of the second telescopic cylinder 10 away from the vacuum suction cup 3 is inserted into the prefabricated groove. The unloading rack 1 is provided with a telescopic rod 11. The top of the telescopic rod 11 is located at the bottom of the flipping frame 2, and one of the vertical surfaces of the top of the telescopic rod is in contact with the vertical surface of the docking slide 9 near the flipping frame 2. The telescopic rod 11 includes a sleeve rod that is vertically fixed to the bottom of the unloading rack 1. A compression spring is sleeved inside the sleeve rod. An insert rod is slidably inserted into the top of the sleeve rod. The top and bottom of the compression spring are respectively fixed to the bottom of the insert rod and the bottom of the sleeve rod. In this way, the top of the telescopic rod can rise to block the subsequent plates when the flipping frame 2 flips up, and be compressed and reset when the flipping frame 2 flips down. This design allows the second telescopic cylinder 10 to pass through the prefabricated groove and be stored and hidden when the flipping frame 2 is in a horizontal state, and also allows the unloading rack 1 to not affect the movement of the second telescopic cylinder 10 when the flipping frame 2 is flipped.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the vertical surface of the limiting strip 6 away from the turning frame 2 is flush with the opening of the storage box, and the height of the limiting strip 6 is half the height of the guide groove 5.
[0045] The height difference between the top of the guide groove 5 and the bottom of the docking frame 4 is less than or equal to the height of the limiting strip 6. This design allows the limiting strip 6 to move down until its top is flush with the bottom of the docking frame 4 during the upward flipping of the flipping frame 2 and docking with the docking frame 4. This avoids affecting the second telescopic cylinder 10's ability to push the upright plate horizontally into the storage box. It can also rise synchronously when the flipping frame 2 flips down and limit and block the plate in the storage box, improving the stability of the upright plate.
[0046] Working principle: Under the thrust of the conveyor belt, the sheet material is guided by the docking slide 9 and pushed into the tilting frame 2. After the sheet material is fully pushed into the tilting frame 2, the suction pump is controlled to extract the air between the vacuum suction cup 3 and the sheet material to form a vacuum suction force, thereby fixing the sheet material. Then, the first telescopic cylinder 8 is controlled to extend and push the tilting frame 2 to flip upward and dock with the docking frame 4. During this process, through the linkage of the linkage part 7, the limiting strip 6 is lowered until its top is flush with the bottom of the docking frame 4. Then, the second telescopic cylinder 8 is controlled to extend. Cylinder 10 extends and pushes the sheet through the inside of docking frame 4 into the storage box. Then, the suction pump is controlled to inflate the space between the vacuum suction cup 3 and the sheet, releasing the sheet from its fixed state and leaving it in the storage box. Then, the first telescopic cylinder 8 and the second telescopic cylinder 10 are controlled to retract and drive the flipping frame 2 and the vacuum suction cup 3 to reset. At the same time, through the linkage of the linkage part 7, the limiting strip 6 rises and resets and intercepts between the opening of the storage box and the inside of the docking frame 4 to prevent the sheet from tipping over. By repeating this process, the sheets can be stood up one by one and stacked in the storage box.
