Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sheet metal and frame assembly equipment, specifically to an edge recognition mechanism for sheet metal in a splicing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, aluminum composite panels (ACPs) are commonly used as ceiling decoration materials. When using ACPs as ceiling decoration materials, aluminum frames need to be wrapped and fixed around the ACPs. After the aluminum frames are wrapped and fixed around the ACPs, the aluminum frames around the ACPs can be assembled with the frame in the ceiling. In order to facilitate the assembly of ACPs and aluminum frames, a device that can screw the spliced ​​aluminum frames has appeared on the market. This device can realize the automated positioning and assembly of the panels and frames.

[0003] In actual processing, aluminum composite panels sometimes require customized processing, such as not installing an aluminum frame on one side. When this requirement is met, most equipment on the market currently requires manual operation of the control panel to select the side that needs to be screwed. However, using manual methods can easily result in selecting too many or too few sides, affecting the yield rate and reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an edge recognition mechanism for splicing machine panels to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an edge recognition mechanism for splicing machine panels, comprising: a moving device, a tapping device, and a control panel. The tapping device includes several edge recognition units, each edge recognition unit comprising a first base plate and at least two first cylinders. The first base plate is mounted on the output end of the moving device, and the first cylinders are mounted on the upper end of the first base plate. An angle is formed between the piston ends of the two first cylinders, and several angles enclose a processing space. The moving device drives the edge recognition units to move so that the processing space is enlarged or reduced. An edge recognition sensor is provided on the piston end of the first cylinder. The edge recognition sensor is used to sense the edge. The installation height of the edge recognition sensor is higher than that of the panel. The edge recognition sensor, the first cylinders, and the moving device are all electrically connected to the control panel.

[0006] Preferably, the moving device includes a longitudinal guide rail, a fixed transverse guide rail, and at least one set of movable transverse guide rails. The fixed transverse guide rail is fixedly installed on the side end of the longitudinal guide rail, and the movable transverse guide rail is installed on the output end of the longitudinal guide rail. The first base plate can be installed on the output ends of the fixed transverse guide rail and the movable transverse guide rail.

[0007] Preferably, the clapping device also includes several auxiliary clamping units, each including a second base plate and a second cylinder. The second base plate can be installed on the output end of the fixed transverse guide rail and the movable transverse guide rail, and the second cylinder is installed on the upper end of the second base plate. The auxiliary clamping unit is located between the two edge recognition units.

[0008] Preferably, a sliding pair is provided between the edge recognition unit and the auxiliary clamping unit. The sliding pair includes a cylindrical shaft and a linear bearing seat that slides along the cylindrical shaft. The cylindrical shaft is mounted on a first base plate at the fixed transverse guide rail, and the linear bearing seat is mounted on a second base plate at the movable transverse guide rail.

[0009] Preferably, a suction cup is also provided on the first substrate, the suction cup is connected to an external air source, and the suction cup is located below the included angle.

[0010] Preferably, the edge detection sensor is a contact switch, and the contact element of the contact switch is used to contact the edge, with the height of the contact element being higher than that of the plate material.

[0011] Preferably, the edge sensor is a photoelectric sensor, which identifies whether the side of the board has a frame by emitting infrared light.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] The edge recognition mechanism in this application uses an edge recognition sensor to sense whether there is a frame on the side of the board and transmits the sensing result to the control panel. The control panel automatically selects the side with the frame as the side to be processed based on the sensing result, which makes it convenient for the operator to operate the machine tool to process the side with the frame. This avoids selecting too many sides without the frame, which would damage the board and the screwing mechanism, or selecting too few sides with the frame, which would require rework, thus improving the yield rate and work efficiency.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution for an edge recognition mechanism for splicing machine panels: an edge recognition mechanism for splicing machine panels includes: a moving device 1, a tapping device, and a control panel. The tapping device includes several edge recognition units 2. Each edge recognition unit 2 includes a first base plate 21 and at least two first cylinders 22. The first base plate 21 is mounted on the output end of the moving device 1. The first cylinders 22 are mounted on the upper end of the first base plate 21. An included angle 5 is formed between the piston ends of the two first cylinders 22. Several included angles 5 enclose a processing space 6. The moving device 1 drives the edge recognition units 2 to move so that the processing space 6 is enlarged or reduced. An edge recognition sensor is provided on the piston end of the first cylinder 22. The edge recognition sensor is used to sense the edge 8. The installation height of the edge recognition sensor is higher than that of the panel 7. The edge recognition sensor, the first cylinders 22, and the moving device 1 are all electrically connected to the control panel.

[0024] In operation, the mobile device 1 drives at least three edge recognition units 2 to move so that the processing space 6 adapts to the size of the sheet 7. Then, several first cylinders 22 simultaneously drive the piston ends to extend, clamping and fixing the sheet 7 in the processing space 6. At this time, the edge recognition sensor senses whether there is a frame 8 on the side of the sheet 7 and transmits the sensing result to the control panel. The control panel automatically selects the side with the frame 8 as the side to be processed according to the sensing result. This makes it convenient for the operator to operate the machine tool to process the side with the frame 8, avoiding the damage to the sheet 7 and the screw-driving mechanism caused by selecting too many sides without the frame 8, or the need for rework caused by selecting too few sides with the frame 8, thus improving the yield rate and work efficiency.

[0025] In this embodiment, the moving device 1 includes a longitudinal guide rail 11, a fixed transverse guide rail 12, and at least one set of movable transverse guide rails 13. The fixed transverse guide rail 12 is fixedly installed on the side end of the longitudinal guide rail 11, and the movable transverse guide rail 13 is installed on the output end of the longitudinal guide rail 11. The longitudinal guide rail 11 drives the movable transverse guide rail 13 to move. The first substrate 21 can be installed on the output end of the fixed transverse guide rail 12 and the movable transverse guide rail 13. The fixed transverse guide rail 12 and the movable transverse guide rail 13 drive a plurality of edge recognition units 2 to move.

[0026] In this embodiment, the clapping device further includes several auxiliary clamping units 3. The auxiliary clamping unit 3 includes a second base plate 31 and a second cylinder 32. The second base plate 31 can be installed on the output end of the fixed transverse guide rail 12 and the movable transverse guide rail 13. The second cylinder 32 is installed on the upper end of the second base plate 31. The auxiliary clamping unit 3 is located between the two edge recognition units 2. When the first cylinder 22 clamps the plate 7, the second cylinder 32 simultaneously extends its piston end to further clamp the plate 7, thereby improving the fixing effect on the plate 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, a sliding pair 4 is provided between the edge recognition unit 2 and the auxiliary clamping unit 3. The sliding pair 4 includes a cylindrical shaft 41 and a linear bearing seat 42 that slides along the cylindrical shaft 41. The cylindrical shaft 41 is mounted on the first base plate 21 at the fixed transverse guide rail 12, and the linear bearing seat 42 is mounted on the second base plate 31 at the movable transverse guide rail 13, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the auxiliary clamping unit 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, a suction cup 25 is also provided on the first substrate 21. The suction cup 25 is connected to an external air source and is located below the included angle 5. The suction cup 25 is used to support one of the corners of the plate 7 and adsorb the plate 7, which can support and fix the plate 7, and further improve the fixing effect of the plate 7.

[0029] In this embodiment, the edge detection sensor is a contact switch 23. The contact element 24 of the contact switch 23 is used to contact the frame 8. The height of the contact element 24 is higher than that of the plate 7. When the piston end of the first cylinder 22 extends, it drives the contact switch 23 to move synchronously. The sensor detects whether the side of the plate 7 is equipped with the frame 8 by whether the contact element 24 contacts an obstacle, and transmits the sensing result to the control panel. The control panel automatically selects the side equipped with the frame 8 as the side to be processed based on the sensing result.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] While all other parts are the same as in Embodiment 1, the difference is that in this embodiment, the edge detection sensor is a photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor identifies whether the side of the plate 7 is equipped with a frame 8 by emitting infrared light. When the piston end of the first cylinder 22 extends, it drives the photoelectric sensor to move synchronously. The photoelectric sensor detects whether the side of the plate 7 is equipped with a frame 8 by detecting whether the obstacle is detected, and transmits the sensing result to the control panel. The control panel automatically selects the side equipped with the frame 8 as the side to be processed based on the sensing result.

[0032] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
