Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of titanium metal sheet processing technology, specifically a palletizing device for cutting titanium metal sheets. Background Technology
[0002] Titanium metal sheets, as an important industrial raw material, are widely used in aerospace, shipbuilding, chemical equipment and high-end medical devices due to their excellent properties such as high strength, corrosion resistance and light weight. According to CN216996692U, a non-destructive palletizing machine for titanium and titanium alloy sheets is disclosed. This technology includes a "conveying device for the sheets, a detachment device to separate the sheets from the conveying device, and a leveling device to flatten multiple layers of overlapping sheets. The palletizing machine includes a frame-type support, and the conveying device includes symmetrical support rods spaced along the length of the frame-type support on the top of the inner wall of the frame-type support. Conveying rollers, extending above the ends of the support rods, are horizontally symmetrically arranged at the top of the outer ends of each support rod." This technology achieves the following technical benefits: "The sheets are conveyed into the palletizing machine via the conveying device, detached from the conveying device via the detachment device, and finally leveled with the previously continuously placed sheets via the leveling device, facilitating the packaging and transportation of multiple layers of overlapping sheets. This overcomes the current problems of low efficiency, time-consuming and labor-intensive manual palletizing, and poor palletizing quality." During operation, existing titanium sheet palletizing equipment may experience a decrease in suction force or sudden failure of the vacuum suction cup system due to factors such as power fluctuations, abnormal air pressure, or residual oil on the suction surface. This can cause the sheet to fall unexpectedly from a height, potentially resulting in surface damage or permanent deformation of the expensive titanium sheet, and posing a serious threat to the safety of equipment and personnel below. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a palletizing device for unloading titanium metal sheets. It adopts a combination of pneumatic synchronous drive and vacuum adsorption, and forms a dual guarantee through a normally closed protective mechanism and an active gripping system. This provides full protection during the sheet handling process, effectively preventing accidental drops and ensuring safe and efficient operation.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a palletizing device for unloading titanium metal sheets, comprising a three-axis truss, wherein a gripping mechanism is provided on the three-axis truss for gripping titanium metal sheets, and the gripping mechanism includes: The main component includes a mounting plate mounted on a three-axis truss. A frame is fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate, and guide rails are fixed to the left and right ends of the top of the frame. Sliders are slidably mounted on the front and rear ends of the guide rails. A cylinder is pivotally connected to the top right end of the mounting plate. Two symmetrically arranged connecting rods are pivotally connected to the output end of the cylinder, and the other ends of the two connecting rods are pivotally connected to the top of the front and rear sliders on the right end, respectively. The component includes clamping arms located on the front and rear sides of the frame, with the left and right ends of the clamping arms fixed to the left and right sliders respectively. Protrusions are fixed on both the left and right sides of the outer wall of the clamping arms. An extension arm is provided at the lower end of the clamping arm. Slide grooves are provided on both the left and right ends of the extension arm, and the protrusions are located inside the slide grooves.
[0005] Preferably, the mating assembly further includes a cylinder pivotally connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the clamping arm, a threaded knob rotatably mounted on the lower outer wall of the cylinder, a threaded rod provided inside the cylinder, the lower end of the threaded rod being pivotally connected to the outer wall of the extension arm, and the inner wall of the threaded knob being pivotally connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod.
[0006] Preferably, the mating assembly further includes a bracket fixed to the lower end of the extension arm, and a buffer plate is fixed to the top of the bracket.
[0007] Preferably, the buffer plate is made of polyurethane material to provide cushioning protection in the event of an accidental drop of the titanium sheet.
[0008] Preferably, the main component further includes several adjustment frames arranged in an array at the bottom of the frame, and several suction cups are installed at the lower end of the adjustment frames.
[0009] Preferably, when the clamping arm is in the clamping state, the distance between the lower ends of the two side extension arms is less than the width of the frame.
[0010] Beneficial effects This invention provides a palletizing device for feeding titanium metal sheets. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. When the cylinder extends, it pushes the connecting rod pivotally connected to it, causing the slider at the right end to slide outward along the guide rail. Through the fixed connection between the clamping arm and the slider, the clamping arms on both sides are driven to open outward synchronously, achieving the relaxed state. When the cylinder retracts, the connecting rod pulls the slider at the right end to slide inward, causing the clamping arms on both sides to close inward synchronously. The synchronous opening and closing movement of the front and rear clamping arms is achieved through a single cylinder. During normal handling operations, the suction cup grips and fixes the titanium metal sheet, ensuring that the components remain closed throughout the handling process, forming a pre-protection to prevent the suction cup from losing its suction force or failing, thus preventing the sheet from falling off and providing full safety assurance for the suction cup gripping process.
[0011] 2. When the cylinder retracts and drives the clamping arm to close inward, the linkage mechanism between the clamping arm and the extension arm ensures that the distance between the lower ends of the two extension arms is always less than the width of the frame, forming an effective protective enclosure area. When the titanium sheet falls accidentally, the falling sheet comes into contact with the buffer plate. The polyurethane material generates a buffering effect through its own high elastic deformation characteristics, converting the impact kinetic energy of the sheet into the elastic potential energy of the material and gradually dissipating it, thereby slowing down the falling speed of the sheet and reducing the impact force.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0015] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a palletizing device for unloading titanium metal sheets, including a three-axis truss 1, on which a gripping mechanism 2 is provided for gripping titanium metal sheets, the gripping mechanism 2 including: The main component 21 includes a mounting plate 211 mounted on a three-axis truss 1. A frame 212 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate 211. Guide rails 213 are fixed to the left and right ends of the top of the frame 212. Slider blocks 214 are slidably mounted on the front and rear ends of the guide rails 213. A cylinder 215 is pivotally connected to the top right end of the mounting plate 211. Two symmetrically arranged connecting rods 216 are pivotally connected to the output end of the cylinder 215, and the other ends of the two connecting rods 216 are respectively pivotally connected to the top of the front and rear sliders 214 on the right end. The component 22 includes clamping arms 221 disposed on the front and rear sides of the frame 212, and the left and right ends of the clamping arms 221 are respectively fixed to the sliders 214 on the left and right sides. The left and right sides of the outer wall of the clamping arms 221 are fixed with protrusions 222. The lower end of the clamping arms 221 is provided with an extension arm 223. The left and right ends of the extension arm 223 are provided with sliding grooves 224, and the protrusions 222 are located inside the sliding grooves 224.
[0016] In this embodiment, when the cylinder 215 extends, it pushes the connecting rod 216 pivotally connected to it, causing the slider 214 at the right end to slide outward along the guide rail 213. Through the fixed connection between the clamping arm 221 and the slider 214, the clamping arms 221 on both the front and rear sides are driven to open outward synchronously, achieving a relaxed state. When the cylinder 215 retracts, the connecting rod 216 pulls the slider 214 at the right end to slide inward, causing the clamping arms 221 on both sides to close inward synchronously. The synchronous opening and closing movement of the clamping arms 221 is achieved by a single cylinder 215. During normal handling operations, the suction cup 218 grips and fixes the titanium metal sheet, ensuring that the cooperating component 22 remains closed throughout the entire handling process, forming a pre-protection to prevent the suction cup 218 from experiencing a decrease in suction force or failure, which could cause the sheet to fall. This provides full safety assurance for the gripping process of the suction cup 218.
[0017] Specifically, the cooperating component 22 also includes a cylinder 225 pivotally connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the clamping arm 221. A threaded knob 226 is rotatably installed on the lower outer wall of the cylinder 225. A threaded rod 227 is provided inside the cylinder 225, and the lower end of the threaded rod 227 is pivotally connected to the outer wall of the extension arm 223. The inner wall of the threaded knob 226 is pivotally connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 227.
[0018] In this embodiment, by rotating the threaded knob 226, the threaded rod 227 that cooperates with it moves axially within the cylinder 225, thereby pushing the extension arm 223, which is pivotally connected to the lower end of the threaded rod 227, to move up and down relative to the clamping arm 221. Since the extension arm 223 cooperates with the protrusion 222 fixed on the clamping arm 221 through its internal sliding groove 224, this up and down movement is simultaneously converted into a horizontal displacement at the end of the extension arm 223, realizing adaptive adjustment for plates of different thicknesses.
[0019] Specifically, the cooperating component 22 also includes a bracket 228 fixed to the lower end of the extension arm 223, and a buffer plate 229 fixed to the top of the bracket 228.
[0020] In this embodiment, when the mating component 22 is in the closed state, the bracket 228 fixed at the lower end of the extension arm 223 drives the buffer plate 229 on its top to move synchronously, so that the buffer plate 229 is precisely stopped at a safe gap from both sides of the plate; during normal handling, the suction cup 218 independently undertakes all the load-bearing tasks, and the buffer plate 229 remains in a non-contact state with the surface of the plate.
[0021] Specifically, the buffer plate 229 is made of polyurethane material and is used to provide cushioning protection in the event of an accidental drop of the titanium sheet.
[0022] In this embodiment, when the titanium sheet falls accidentally, the falling sheet comes into contact with the buffer plate 229. The polyurethane material generates a buffering effect through its own high elastic deformation characteristics, converting the impact kinetic energy of the sheet into the elastic potential energy of the material and gradually dissipating it, thereby slowing down the falling speed of the sheet and reducing the impact force.
[0023] Specifically, the main component 21 also includes several adjustment frames 217 arranged in an array at the bottom of the frame 212, and several suction cups 218 are installed at the lower end of the adjustment frames 217.
[0024] In this embodiment, when the device is working, all suction cups 218 generate negative pressure simultaneously, and the surface of the board is firmly fixed by the uniformly distributed adsorption force, thereby achieving adsorption and fixation of the board.
[0025] Specifically, when the clamping arm 221 is in the clamping state, the distance between the lower ends of the two side extension arms 223 is less than the width of the frame 212.
[0026] In this embodiment, when the cylinder 215 retracts and drives the clamping arm 221 to close inward, the linkage mechanism between the clamping arm 221 and the extension arm 223 ensures that the distance between the lower ends of the two extension arms 223 is always less than the width of the frame 212, thus forming an effective surrounding protection area.
[0027] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, when the equipment is working, all suction cups 218 generate negative pressure at the same time, and the surface of the board is firmly fixed by the uniformly distributed adsorption force, thereby achieving the adsorption and fixation of the board. Then, when cylinder 215 extends, it pushes the connecting rod 216 pivotally connected to it, causing the slider 214 at the right end to slide outward along the guide rail 213; through the fixed connection between the clamping arm 221 and the slider 214, the clamping arms 221 on both the front and rear sides are driven to open outward synchronously, achieving a relaxed state; when cylinder 215 retracts, the connecting rod 216 pulls the slider 214 at the right end to slide inward, causing the clamping arms 221 on both sides to close inward synchronously; the synchronous opening and closing movement of the clamping arms 221 is achieved by a single cylinder 215; during normal handling operations, the suction cup 218 grips and fixes the titanium metal sheet, so that the cooperating component 22 remains closed throughout the entire handling process, forming a pre-protection to prevent the suction cup 218 from experiencing a decrease in suction force or failure, which could cause the sheet to fall, thus providing full safety assurance for the gripping of the suction cup 218.
