Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guiding device technology, and in particular to a floating feeding and discharging guiding device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial automation, especially in surface treatment industries (such as electroplating, phosphating, and spraying), automated material handling of pallets is a key factor in improving production efficiency. Currently, the mainstream handling method typically uses forks to pick up materials from below and on either side of the pallet, enabling its lifting and movement. However, in practice, because the pallet needs sufficient clearance on the rack for the forks to enter, there is considerable lateral movement of the pallet along the rack's track. During the pushing or pulling process, uneven track friction, slight deviations in the synchronization mechanism, or instability of the pallet's center of gravity can easily cause it to tilt or shift. This shift can range from minor collisions between the forks and the pallet, leading to material handling failure and production interruption, to more serious incidents such as equipment damage or even personnel accidents, severely impacting the safety and stability of the production line.

[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a floating feed and discharge guide device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a floating feeding and discharging guide device. This device uses a cylinder to drive the guide bearing and intelligently clamps the bearing plate for precise positioning, ensuring stable feeding. During operation, the fork teeth automatically retract to avoid collisions, achieving seamless integration of automated processes and significantly improving production efficiency and operational safety.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A floating feed and discharge guiding device includes three vertical plates. Connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the upper, lower, and middle parts of one side end face of each of the three vertical plates. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to one side end face of every three connecting blocks. Cylinders are respectively arranged on both sides of one side end face of each of the three horizontal plates, and the output end of each cylinder extends into the interior of the horizontal plate. One end of each cylinder is connected to a mounting plate. Multiple connecting plates are fixedly connected to one side end face of the three vertical plates at even intervals. A connecting shaft is connected to the upper end of each connecting plate, and a guide bearing is connected to the lower end of each connecting shaft. Through the above technical solution, the device uses a cylinder to drive the guide bearing and intelligently clamps the bearing plate for precise positioning, ensuring stable feeding. During operation, the fork teeth automatically retract to avoid collisions, achieving seamless integration of the automated process and significantly improving production efficiency and operational safety.

[0006] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the connection points of the three horizontal plates and the connecting blocks; By adding reinforcing ribs at the connection between the horizontal plate and the connecting block, the overall rigidity and strength of the structure can be significantly enhanced. When the large force generated by the cylinder is transmitted to the horizontal plate, the reinforcing ribs can effectively resist bending moment and torsional deformation, prevent the horizontal plate from bending or shaking, and ensure the structural stability and reliability of the entire guide device during operation.

[0007] Furthermore, the vertical plate, horizontal plate, and connecting plate are made of aluminum alloy profiles, and the connecting block and mounting plate are made of No. 45 steel. Through the above technical solution, aluminum alloy profiles are used for the vertical plate, horizontal plate and connecting plate, which effectively reduces the weight of the whole device, reduces energy consumption and requirements on the drive mechanism, while the connecting block and mounting plate are made of high-strength and tough No. 45 steel. As key load-bearing and connecting components, they can withstand the strong force from the cylinder and the impact load when the bearing plate is feeding, ensuring the structural stability and service life of the device under heavy load conditions.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide bearing is a self-lubricating linear bearing, with its inner ring fitted onto the connecting shaft; The above technical solution uses a self-lubricating linear bearing as a guide component. Its inner ring forms a precise fit with the connecting shaft. During guidance, it can provide the carrier plate with an extremely stable, accurate and low-friction linear motion trajectory, effectively constraining the carrier plate's degree of freedom in the horizontal direction, ensuring that it always maintains accurate linear motion during the feeding process without shaking or deviating, thereby greatly improving the positioning accuracy and guiding stability.

[0009] Furthermore, mounting holes are provided at the four corners of each of the mounting plates; With the above technical solution, mounting holes are opened at the four corners of the mounting plate, providing a standardized, multi-point bolt connection method, which makes it very convenient and quick to fix the device to the material rack, machine frame or other equipment base. The installation process is simple and quick, without the need for complicated debugging.

[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model proposes a floating feeding and discharging guide device. This device uses a cylinder to drive the guide bearing for intelligent clamping and release. When the material cart is feeding, it clamps both sides of the bearing plate, effectively solving the problems of offset and tilting caused by uneven gaps and friction, ensuring the accurate positioning and stability of the bearing plate. When the fork is operating, the guide bearing automatically retracts to make way, providing unobstructed space for the fork. This not only achieves seamless connection of the automated process and improves production efficiency, but also fundamentally avoids fork collision accidents and significantly improves operational safety.

[0013] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of specific embodiments. Obviously, the described specific embodiments are only a part of the specific embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the specific embodiments of the present invention, all other specific embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a specific embodiment: a floating feed and discharge guiding device includes three vertical plates 1. Connecting blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends and the middle of one side end face of the three vertical plates 1. A horizontal plate 3 is fixedly connected to one side end face of every three connecting blocks 2. Cylinders 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of one side end face of the three horizontal plates 3, and the output end of each cylinder 4 extends into the interior of the horizontal plate 3. One end of each cylinder 4 is connected to a mounting plate 5. Multiple connecting plates 7 are fixedly connected at even intervals to one side end face of the three vertical plates 1. A connecting shaft 8 is connected to the upper end of each connecting plate 7, and a guide bearing 9 is connected to the lower end of each connecting shaft 8. The device drives the guide bearing 9 through the cylinder 4, and intelligently clamps the bearing plate for precise positioning to ensure stable feeding. During operation, the fork teeth automatically retract to avoid collisions, achieving seamless connection of the automated process and significantly improving production efficiency and operational safety.

[0015] Reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the connections of the three horizontal plates 3 and the connecting block 2. Adding reinforcing ribs at the connections of the horizontal plates 3 and the connecting block 2 significantly enhances the overall rigidity and strength of the structure. When the large force generated by the cylinder 4 is transmitted to the horizontal plate 3, the reinforcing ribs can effectively resist bending moment and torsional deformation, preventing the horizontal plate 3 from bending or shaking, thus ensuring the structural stability and reliability of the entire guiding device during operation. The vertical plate 1, horizontal plate 3, and connecting plate 7 are made of aluminum alloy profiles, while the connecting block 2 and mounting plate 5 are made of 45# steel. The use of aluminum alloy profiles for the vertical plate 1, horizontal plate 3, and connecting plate 7 effectively reduces the weight of the entire device, lowers energy consumption, and reduces the requirements on the drive mechanism. The connecting block 2 and mounting plate 5, made of high-strength and high-toughness 45# steel, are key load-bearing and connecting components, capable of withstanding the strong force from the cylinder 4 and the feeding of the bearing plate. The impact load ensures the structural stability and service life of the device under heavy load conditions. The guide bearing 9 is a self-lubricating linear bearing, with its inner ring sleeved on the connecting shaft 8. Using a self-lubricating linear bearing as a guide component, its inner ring forms a precise fit with the connecting shaft 8. During guidance, it can provide the bearing plate with an extremely smooth, precise and low-friction linear motion trajectory, effectively constraining the bearing plate's degree of freedom in the horizontal direction, ensuring that it always maintains precise linear motion during the feeding process without shaking or deviation, thereby greatly improving the positioning accuracy and guiding stability. Mounting holes 6 are opened at the four corners of multiple mounting plates 5, providing a standardized, multi-point bolt connection method, which makes it very convenient and quick to fix the device to the material rack, machine frame or other equipment base. The installation process is simple and quick, without complicated debugging.

[0016] Working Principle: In use, the device is first securely fixed in its predetermined position via the mounting holes 6 on the mounting plate 5. When the material cart needs to be fed, the cylinder 4 activates, driving the horizontal plates 3 on both sides to move closer together. This, in turn, causes the guide bearings 9 on the connecting shaft 8 to tighten towards the center, forming a guide channel. At this time, the carrying plate smoothly enters along the guide bearings 9 on both sides, effectively preventing lateral shifts and tilting caused by uneven friction or initial position deviations, ensuring precise positioning. After the carrying plate is in place, the cylinder 4 reverses its action, driving the guide bearings 9 to retract to both sides, completely clearing space. Subsequently, the forks of the material cart can extend unimpeded under the carrying plate to complete the forking operation. The entire process achieves automated guidance and clearance, not only improving production efficiency but also fundamentally eliminating the risk of accidents caused by collisions, ensuring operational safety.
