Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding devices, specifically relating to an automatic backplate feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] The back panel is an accessory for shoe cabinets. During shoe cabinet assembly, the back panel often needs to be transported to the main assembly line for easy subsequent assembly. This requires a feeding device to transport the back panel continuously. Existing patent CN117657795A discloses an automatic loading and unloading device and production method for a sheet metal processing center, including a gripping and transferring device, a self-calibrating positioning fixture, a feeding roller, and a discharging roller. The gripping and transferring device, located on one side of the processing center, grips and transfers materials. A positioning fixture is installed on the gripping and transferring device, which includes a structural component connected to the gripping and transferring device. This structural component is connected to a gripping component for gripping materials via an elastic connector, allowing the relative position of the structural component and the gripping component to change. Existing loading and unloading devices mainly use a positioning structure and a transfer robot working together to complete the loading and unloading process. This results in a complex overall structure, large space occupation, and a long production line. Therefore, an automatic back panel feeding device needs to be designed to overcome these difficulties. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by designing an automatic backplate feeding device. This invention continuously lifts and transfers materials through a material turnover and replacement component, a transverse mechanism, and a lifting component. The material is transported to the production line through the cooperation of a front and rear moving component and a rotating mechanism. It has a simple structure, occupies little space, and has a high degree of overall automation.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic backplate feeding device, comprising a main frame, a material turnover and replacement component at the bottom of the main frame, and a transverse movement mechanism at the top of the main frame; a pair of lifting components are arranged vertically on the main frame, the lifting components being positioned between the material turnover and replacement component and the transverse movement mechanism; a front-back moving component is also provided at the top of the main frame, the front-back moving component comprising a first horizontal linear module and a first vertical linear module, an assembly seat being fixedly mounted on the slider of the first vertical linear module, and a pair of first clamping cylinders being provided at the bottom of the assembly seat; a rotating mechanism is provided on the side of the main frame, the rotating mechanism being positioned below the front-back moving component.

[0005] Preferably, the material turnover and replacement assembly includes a pair of first and second slide cylinders. Each slide cylinder has a placement plate on its slider. A material frame body is placed on the placement plate, and the material frame body has several back plates arranged side-by-side and adjacent to each other. The end of the first slide cylinder is provided with a lifting assembly arranged adjacent to it, and the end of the second slide cylinder is also provided with a lifting assembly arranged adjacent to it. The placement plate has an opening slot for the lifting assembly to make way.

[0006] Preferably, the first slide cylinder and the second slide cylinder are arranged side by side and adjacent to each other; the placement plate is provided with a plurality of first positioning members arranged around the material frame body, and the edge of the material frame body is provided with a plurality of first positioning grooves, the outer contour of the first positioning member and the outer contour of the first positioning groove are adapted to each other.

[0007] When the first slide cylinder operates, it moves the placement plate on the first slide cylinder. The placement plate on the first slide cylinder holds the material frame body with a back plate. Then, the lifting assembly transports the material frame body and back plate to the top of the main frame. When the back plate is removed from the material frame body, the empty material frame body is transferred via a traversing mechanism. Then, the empty material frame body is lowered by the lifting assembly, and then the second slide cylinder moves the placement plate on the second slide cylinder, allowing the operator to remove the empty material frame body from the main frame. This arrangement of two sets of placement plates facilitates the transfer and replacement of materials, resulting in higher turnover efficiency. The first positioning groove and the first positioning component facilitate the fixing of the material frame body on the placement plate.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a second vertical linear module, which extends vertically and is fixedly mounted on the main frame; a placement platform is fixedly mounted on the slider of the second vertical linear module, and when the second vertical linear module is working, it drives the placement platform to move vertically between the material turnover and replacement assembly and the transverse mechanism; a material frame body is placed on the placement platform, and the placement platform is provided with a plurality of second positioning members arranged around the material frame body, and the edge of the material frame body is provided with a plurality of second positioning grooves, the outer contour of the second positioning members and the outer contour of the second positioning grooves being adapted to each other.

[0009] The second vertical linear module here is a commonly used transfer device in existing technology. The second vertical linear module includes a motor, a lead screw, and a slider. When the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, the slider on the second vertical linear module can engage and move along a straight line. Two sets of paired lifting components are provided here to facilitate control of the material frame body's vertical lifting and lowering. By setting a second positioning groove and a second positioning element, the material frame body is positioned on the placement platform.

[0010] Preferably, the transverse movement mechanism includes a second horizontal linear module. The second horizontal linear module and a first track are fixedly mounted on the main frame, and the second horizontal linear module and the first track are arranged parallel to each other. A clamping base plate is fixedly mounted on the slider of the second horizontal linear module. One end of the clamping base plate is mounted on the slider of the second horizontal linear module, and the other end of the clamping base plate is mounted on the first track. When the second horizontal linear module is working, it drives the clamping base plate to move along the first track between the two lifting components. The clamping base plate is provided with a pair of positioning cylinders. A positioning plate is fixedly mounted on the piston shaft of the positioning cylinder. A pair of third positioning elements are provided on the positioning plate. A material frame body is placed on the clamping base plate. The material frame body is provided with positioning holes. The outer contour of the positioning holes is adapted to the outer contour of the third positioning elements.

[0011] By incorporating a lateral movement mechanism, the material frame body can be easily transferred between the two lifting components. The second horizontal linear module is a commonly used transfer device in the prior art. The second horizontal linear module includes a motor, a lead screw, and a slider. When the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, the slider on the second horizontal linear module can engage and move along a straight line. By incorporating a positioning cylinder and a third positioning component, the extension and retraction of the third positioning component can be easily controlled. The third positioning component, in conjunction with the positioning hole, secures the material frame body to the clamping base plate. Therefore, the lateral movement mechanism and the lifting components do not interfere with each other when controlling the movement of the material frame body.

[0012] Preferably, the forward and backward moving component further includes a first bracket, on which a first horizontal linear module is fixedly mounted and a first vertical linear module is fixedly mounted. When the first horizontal linear module is working, it drives the first vertical linear module to move forward and backward relative to the horizontal moving mechanism. An assembly seat is fixedly mounted on the slider of the first vertical linear module. When the first vertical linear module is working, it drives the assembly seat to move up and down relative to the rotating mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the assembly base is provided with a pair of first clamping cylinders, the first bracket and the material transfer direction of the transverse mechanism are arranged perpendicular to each other; the back plate clamped on the first clamping cylinder is arranged perpendicular to the material transfer direction of the first horizontal linear module.

[0014] Both the first horizontal linear module and the first vertical linear module are commonly used transfer devices in the prior art. Each module includes a motor, a lead screw, and a slider. When the first horizontal linear module operates, it drives the slider on its side to move horizontally; when the first vertical linear module operates, it drives the slider on its side to move vertically. Through the cooperation of the first horizontal and first vertical linear modules, the position of the assembly base can be easily adjusted. This allows the first clamping cylinder to easily clamp the backplate, which is then transported onto the rotating mechanism.

[0015] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating cylinder, and a support base is fixedly installed on the side of the main frame, and the rotating cylinder is fixedly installed on the support base; a pair of connecting rods are provided on the rotating shaft of the rotating cylinder, and a second clamping cylinder is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod.

[0016] Preferably, the support base is further provided with a first limiting cylinder and a second limiting cylinder, both of which are located away from the rotary cylinder; the first limiting cylinder and the second limiting cylinder are fixedly installed on the support base, and are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0017] The rotation cylinder drives the second gripping cylinder on the connecting rod to rotate, which changes the direction of the back plate and switches it from a vertical to a horizontal state. Then, the first and second limit cylinders position the back plate so that it is in a fixed position on the support seat, so that the gripping device on the subsequent production line can continuously and reliably grip the back plate.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. By setting a material turnover and replacement component, the material frame body can be easily rotated, resulting in higher loading and unloading efficiency; 2. By setting two sets of paired lifting components between the material turnover and replacement component and the transverse movement mechanism, the up and down movement of the material frame body can be easily controlled; 3. By setting a forward and backward movement component, the back plate inside the material frame body can be easily transported close to the rotating mechanism, and then the rotating mechanism can easily transport the back plate close to the production line.
