Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stone slab handling technology, and in particular to a stone slab anti-overlap device. Background Technology
[0002] Stone is a material with certain physical properties extracted from natural rocks. After processing, it can be formed into products of different shapes and used in building construction, decoration and renovation and monument carving. It can provide solid structural support for buildings, give spaces a natural and beautiful visual effect, and has the characteristics of wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can maintain a good condition for a long time.
[0003] Stone slabs are slab-shaped materials made from natural rock or artificial stone. They are used in building decoration, municipal engineering, and home decoration, providing a sturdy and durable covering layer for building surfaces. They combine aesthetics and protection, enhancing the texture and lifespan of spaces, and are one of the indispensable basic materials in modern construction. Stone slab anti-overlap devices are automated auxiliary equipment used in the processing and handling of stone slabs. Their main function is to prevent multiple slabs from overlapping during the gripping and transfer of stone slabs, ensuring that only one slab is processed at a time, thus guaranteeing the orderly progress of subsequent processing, stacking, and other procedures.
[0004] In the stone processing industry, traditional manual handling or simple mechanical gripping often results in overlapping due to the tight stacking of slabs, affecting processing efficiency and accuracy. Some existing anti-overlap devices use robotic arms to grip and sensors to avoid overlapping, but these devices mostly rely on a single sensor for judgment. When there are stains or similar textures on the surface of the slabs, misjudgments are likely to occur, and improper adjustment of the gripping force of the robotic arm can easily cause damage to the slabs, thus limiting their applicability.

The top of each of the two support frames 1 is slidably connected to a movable frame 4, which can slide back and forth along the support frame 1. An anti-overlap mechanism 2 is provided on an adjacent side of the two movable frames 4. The anti-overlap mechanism 2 can grab and transport the slabs by suction and prevent the slabs from overlapping. The anti-overlap mechanism 2 is used to transport the slabs by suction. A power mechanism 3 is provided on the side of the two movable frames 4 that is far apart from each other. The power mechanism 3 can provide driving force for the movement of the movable frame 4. The power mechanism 3 is used to provide power to drive the movable frame 4 to move back and forth. The anti-overlap mechanism 2 includes a horizontal plate 201, which can support other components of the anti-overlap mechanism 2. The left and right sides of the horizontal plate 201 are respectively fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of two movable frames 4, so that the horizontal plate 201 moves synchronously with the movable frames 4. The bottom front and rear sides of the horizontal plate 201 are provided with mounting grooves 202, which can be used to install and fix vacuum generators 203. Multiple vacuum generators 203 are fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the two mounting grooves 202. The vacuum generators 203 can generate negative pressure to provide suction force for the suction cups 205. A sliding plate 204 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the horizontal plate 201. The sliding plate 204 can slide along the horizontal plate 201. Multiple suction cups 205 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 204. 5. It can adsorb stone slabs under negative pressure. Sponges 206 are fixedly connected to the bottom front and back sides of multiple suction cups 205. The sponges 206 can enhance the sealing between the suction cups 205 and the slab and prevent scratching the slab. A fixed plate 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate 204. The fixed plate 207 can transmit the vibration of the vibration motor 208 to the sliding plate 204. A vibration motor 208 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 201. The vibration motor 208 can generate high-frequency vibration. The output end of the vibration motor 208 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed plate 207 so that the power of the vibration motor 208 can be transmitted to the fixed plate 207. A limit component 209 is provided on the top of the horizontal plate 201. The limit component 209 can limit the movement direction of the sliding plate 204. The limiting component 209 includes a limiting plate 2091, which can be embedded in a limiting groove 2092. The limiting plate 2091 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the inner top of the sliding plate 204, so that the limiting plate 2091 moves synchronously with the sliding plate 204. The front and rear sides of the top of the horizontal plate 201 are provided with limiting grooves 2092, which can provide a sliding track for the limiting plate 2091. Specifically, the two support frames 1 form the foundation of the device, providing stable support for the whole. Their tops are slidably connected to the movable frame 4, allowing the movable frame 4 to move back and forth. The movable frame 4 connects the support frames 1, the anti-overlap mechanism 2, and the power mechanism 3, transmitting power to move the anti-overlap mechanism 2 and providing installation space for the guide assembly 305. The anti-overlap mechanism 2 is the core component, with the horizontal plate 201 serving as its frame, connecting the movable frame 4 on the left and right sides, providing a mounting base for other components. The mounting groove 202 is used to fix the vacuum generator 203, enabling its containment and positioning. The vacuum generator 203 generates negative pressure, providing power for the suction cup 205 to adsorb the plate material, achieving gripping. The sliding plate 204 can slide under the drive of the vibration motor 208, and its bottom... The suction cup 205 adheres to the board under negative pressure to achieve adsorption and handling. The sponge 206 enhances the seal between the suction cup 205 and the board, improves the adsorption force, and avoids scratches. The fixed plate 207 connects the sliding plate 204 and the output end of the vibration motor 208 to transmit vibration. The vibration motor 208 generates high-frequency vibration, which drives the sliding plate 204 and the board to vibrate through the fixed plate 207. The inertia separates the overlapping boards to prevent overlap. In the limiting component 209, the limiting plate 2091 and the limiting groove 2092 cooperate to limit the direction and amplitude of movement of the sliding plate 204 to prevent deviation and fall off, and ensure the stability of the mechanism. The power mechanism 3 provides power to drive the moving frame 4 to move along the support frame 1 to realize the position adjustment of the anti-overlap mechanism 2 so that it is aligned with different boards for operation.
[0020] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The power mechanism 3 includes a power motor 301, which provides driving force. The adjacent sides of the two power motors 301 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two movable frames 4, so that the power motors 301 and the movable frames 4 form a stable connection. The output ends of the two power motors 301 pass through the movable frames 4 and are fixedly connected to rotating rods 302. The rotating rods 302 can transmit the torque of the power motors 301. The outer walls of the two rotating rods 302 are fixedly connected to gears 303, which can rotate synchronously with the rotating rods 302. The bottom of the two support frames 1 are fixedly connected to racks 304, which can cooperate with the gears 303 to realize transmission. The two gears 303 are respectively meshed with the corresponding racks 304, and the rotational motion is converted into linear motion through the meshing of the teeth. The movable frame 4 is provided with a guide component 305, which can assist the movable frame 4 to move smoothly. The guide assembly 305 includes multiple guide wheels 3051. The guide wheels 3051 can reduce friction during movement. One side of each guide wheel 3051 is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the corresponding movable frame 4, so that the guide wheels 3051 can rotate. Guide grooves 3052 are provided on the left and right sides of the two support frames 1. The guide grooves 3052 can provide a movement track for the guide wheels 3051. Specifically, the two support frames 1 form the foundation of the device, providing stable support for the whole. Their tops are slidably connected to the movable frame 4, allowing the movable frame 4 to move back and forth. The rack 304 fixed at the bottom meshes with the gear 303, providing a transmission basis for movement. The guide grooves 3052 on the left and right sides cooperate with the guide wheels 3051 to restrict the direction of movement. The movable frame 4 connects the support frames 1, the anti-overlap mechanism 2, and the power mechanism 3, and can transmit power to drive the anti-overlap mechanism 2 to move. The interior provides installation space for the guide wheels 3051. The anti-overlap mechanism 2 is the core. The horizontal plate 201 serves as a frame connecting the movable frame 4, providing an installation basis for other components. The mounting groove 202 fixes the vacuum generator 203, which generates negative pressure. The suction cup 205 provides power to adsorb the board material. The sliding plate 204 can slide under the drive of the vibration motor 208. The bottom suction cup 205 adheres to the board material under negative pressure to realize the transport. The sponge 206 enhances the sealing and avoids scratches. The fixing plate 207 transmits vibration. The vibration motor 208 generates high-frequency vibration to separate the overlapping boards. The limiting plate 2091 cooperates with the limiting groove 2092 to ensure the stable movement of the sliding plate 204. In the power mechanism 3, the power motor 301 provides power. The rotating rod 302 connected to the output end drives the gear 303 to rotate. The gear 303 meshes with the rack 304 to drive the moving frame 4 to move. The guide wheel 3051 of the guide assembly 305 rolls along the guide groove 3052 to ensure the smooth sliding of the moving frame 4.
[0021] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5Both support frames 1 have a sliding groove 5 at their top, which provides a sliding path for the sliding block 6. The inner top of both moving frames 4 are fixedly connected to the sliding block 6, which can slide within the sliding groove 5 to assist in positioning the moving frame 4. Reinforcing plates 7 are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of both moving frames 4, enhancing the connection strength between the moving frame 4 and the horizontal plate 201. The bottoms of both reinforcing plates 7 are fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 201, making the horizontal plate 201 more securely mounted on the moving frame 4. The limiting plate 2091 is slidably connected to the interior of the corresponding limiting groove 2092 to ensure that the limiting plate 2091 moves directionally along the limiting groove 2092. The size of the horizontal plate 201 matches that of the limiting groove 2092 to ensure precise fit of the limiting structure. The front and rear sides of the interior of the sliding plate 204 are in contact with the front and rear sides of the horizontal plate 201 to reduce the gap and shaking between the sliding plate 204 and the horizontal plate 201. Multiple vacuum generators 203 are respectively connected to the sponge 206 to ensure that the negative pressure can be accurately transmitted to the corresponding suction cup 205. Specifically, the movable block 6 can slide within the movable groove 5, further guiding the movement of the movable frame 4. Together with the guide component 305, it enhances the stability and accuracy of the movement of the movable frame 4, preventing the movable frame 4 from shaking or deviating from the track during movement. It also strengthens the connection between the movable frame 4 and the horizontal plate 201, making the connection between the horizontal plate 201 and the movable frame 4 more stable when the horizontal plate 201 moves with the movable frame 4 or when the vibration motor 208 is working, reducing the relative shaking between the two. This ensures the fit of the limiting plate 2091 when it slides within the limiting groove 2092, reducing the shaking caused by the gap, and further improving the limiting effect on the sliding plate 204. Multiple vacuum generators 203 correspond to the sponge 206 respectively, ensuring that the negative pressure generated by the vacuum generator 203 can be accurately transmitted to the corresponding suction cup 205, ensuring that each suction cup 205 can effectively adsorb the board.
[0022] Working principle: The horizontal plate 201 of the anti-overlap mechanism 2 serves as the load-bearing base. After the moving frame 4 is precisely in place, the vacuum generator 203 in the mounting groove 202 is activated. The vacuum generator 203 is connected to the suction cup 205 at the bottom of the sliding plate 204 through the pipeline, quickly extracting the air in the suction cup 205 to form a negative pressure, so that the suction cup 205 is tightly attached to the surface of the stone slab to complete the gripping action. At this time, the sponge 206 at the bottom of the suction cup 205 is in contact with the slab, which enhances the sealing and avoids surface scratches. If the slabs are detected to be overlapping, the vibration motor 208 at the top of the horizontal plate 201 is immediately activated. Its output end drives the sliding plate 204 to vibrate at high frequency through the fixed plate 207. The vibration is transmitted to the slabs adsorbed by the suction cup 205, and the overlapping slabs are separated by inertial force to ensure that each gripping is a single slab. The limiting plate 2091 on the inner side of the sliding plate 204 is embedded in the limiting groove 2092 of the horizontal plate 201, which restricts the sliding plate 204 to vibrate only along the groove direction to avoid displacement or falling off. Furthermore, when the device is started, the power motor 301 of the power mechanism 3 starts running first, and its output end drives the rotating rod 302 to rotate. The gear 303 on the outer wall of the rotating rod 302 rotates accordingly. Since the gear 303 meshes with the rack 304 at the bottom of the support frame 1, the gear 303 rotates and moves along the rack 304, thereby driving the movable frame 4 fixed on the adjacent side of the power motor 301 to move. During the movement, the guide wheel 3051 inside the movable frame 4 rolls along the guide groove 3052 on the left and right sides of the support frame 1, restricting the movement direction of the movable frame 4 and ensuring that it slides smoothly along the support frame 1, thereby driving the anti-overlapping mechanism 2 to align with the target plate.
