Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sheet metal transfer technology, specifically to a sheet metal transfer carrier. Background Technology

[0002] When processing various types of sheet materials, it is necessary to transfer the sheets from the stacking points to the processing points. Currently, this is generally done manually. Existing technologies also use carriers with suction cups to transfer the sheets, but these carriers are difficult to adapt to sheets of various sizes at the same time. When the sheets are heavy metal sheets, they are easy to detach during the transfer process. When the sheets are light plastic sheets, they can only be transferred one by one, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, this application provides a sheet metal transfer carrier that can adapt to sheets of different sizes and weights, and has strong practicality.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technology: A plate transfer carrier, comprising: Straight track; There are multiple drive frames, each with rollers rotatably connected to it. The rollers roll and fit against the track surface of the linear track, and the length of each roller matches the width of the track surface. The mounting brackets are multiple in number, each matching the drive bracket. They are all located below the linear track and connected to the drive brackets. A central block is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the mounting bracket. A connecting rod is rotatably inserted through the central block along the width direction of the linear track. Both ends of the connecting rod are coaxially connected to screws with opposite thread directions. The screws are rotatably connected to the two ends of the corresponding mounting bracket. Each screw has a mating block threaded into it. The upper surface of the mating block slides in contact with the lower surface of the mounting bracket. There are multiple air chambers that match the mating blocks, each located at the lower end of the mating block. The lower end of each air chamber is connected to an air pipe that is perpendicular to the track surface of the straight track. The lower end of the air pipe is connected to a suction cup, and the suction surface of the suction cup is parallel to the track surface of the straight track.

[0005] Furthermore, both ends of the linear track are provided with mounting ears for connecting to an external drive mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, each drive frame is equipped with a first rotating motor, and the drive shaft of the first rotating motor is coaxially connected to rollers.

[0007] Furthermore, each mounting bracket has a rotating seat on its upper surface, and each rotating seat is fitted with a roller. The rotation axis of the roller is parallel to the width direction of the linear track. The roller makes rolling contact with the lower surface of the linear track, and the roller is located directly below the roller that is mounted on the same mounting bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, each mounting bracket is equipped with a second rotating motor at one end, and the drive shaft of the second rotating motor is coaxially connected to the corresponding screw.

[0009] Furthermore, each trachea is provided with a limiting block on its outer wall, and each limiting block is provided with a sliding rod passing through it along the trachea axis. Each sliding rod is provided with a limiting head at its lower end, and each sliding rod is connected to the lower end of the corresponding air chamber at its upper end. Each sliding rod is coaxially fitted with a spring on its outer side, and each end of the spring is connected to the lower end of the corresponding air chamber and the limiting head respectively. A first air delivery hose is connected between the upper end of the trachea and the lower end of the corresponding air chamber.

[0010] Furthermore, adjacent gas chambers located on the same side of the straight track are connected by a second gas delivery hose, and two gas chambers near one end of the straight track are connected by a third gas delivery hose. Two air pumps are installed on the lower surface of one end of the straight track, and the working ends of the air pumps are connected to the third gas delivery hoses respectively.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a linear track and rollers that roll in conjunction with it, the number of plates that the carrier can absorb can be flexibly selected to accommodate the transfer of plates of different weights; by setting up a screw and a mating block, it can accommodate the transfer of plates of different sizes.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the implementation methods of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described in the present utility model are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a sheet metal transfer carrier, including a linear track 1, a drive frame 2, and a mounting frame 3.

[0019] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the linear track 1 includes a track surface and track edges disposed on both sides of the track surface.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple drive frames 2. In this example, there are six drive frames 2. Each drive frame 2 is rotatably connected to a roller 21. The roller 21 rolls against the track surface of the linear track 1. The length of the roller 21 matches the width of the track surface of the linear track 1. This design is used so that when the roller 21 is engaged with the track surface of the linear track 1, the track edges on both sides of the track surface of the linear track 1 can restrict the axial movement of the roller 21, so that the roller 21 can only roll along the length direction of the linear track 1.

[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple mounting brackets 3 matching the number of drive brackets 2. In this example, there are six mounting brackets 3. Each mounting bracket 3 is located below the linear track 1 and is connected to the drive bracket 2. A middle block 31 is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the mounting bracket 3. A connecting rod 32 is rotatably inserted in the middle block 31 along the width direction of the linear track 1. Both ends of the connecting rod 32 are coaxially connected to screws 33 with opposite thread directions. The screws 33 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the corresponding mounting bracket 3. Each screw 33 is threadedly fitted with a mating block 34. This design is used so that when the two screws 33 connected by the connecting rod 32 rotate synchronously, the mating blocks 34 move in opposite directions. The upper surface of the mating block 34 slides in contact with the lower surface of the mounting bracket 3. This sliding contact is used so that when the screws 33 rotate, the threaded mating blocks 34 on them will not rotate with them.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple air chambers 4 that match the number of mating blocks 34. In this example, there are twelve mating blocks 34. The air chambers 4 are respectively located at the lower end of the mating blocks 34. The lower end of each air chamber 4 is connected to an air pipe 41 that is perpendicular to the track surface of the linear track 1. The lower end of the air pipe 41 is connected to a suction cup 42. The suction surface of the suction cup 42 is parallel to the track surface of the linear track 1. The air pressure in the air chamber 4 is adjustable.

[0023] During operation, when transferring heavy metal sheets, the spacing between adjacent air chambers 4 along the length of the straight track 1 is adjusted by rotating roller 21, and the spacing between adjacent air chambers 4 along the width of the straight track 1 is adjusted by rotating screw 33. This increases the number of suction cups 42 used to adsorb a single sheet, making the adsorption of the sheet by the carrier more secure. When transferring lighter plastic sheets, the spacing between adjacent air chambers 4 along the length of the straight track 1 is adjusted by rotating roller 21, and the spacing between adjacent air chambers 4 along the width of the straight track 1 is adjusted by rotating screw 33. This divides the suction cups 42 into multiple groups, each group adsorbing one sheet, thus allowing multiple sheets to be transferred simultaneously, improving transfer efficiency. Preferred, such as Figure 1 As shown, both ends of the linear track 1 are provided with mounting ears 11, which are used to connect with external drive mechanisms. More preferably, the external drive mechanism can be an overhead crane or a conveyor rail. These specific transfer drive mechanisms are all existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Preferred, such as Figure 1 As shown, each drive frame 2 is equipped with a first rotating motor 22. The drive shaft of the first rotating motor 22 is coaxially connected to the roller 21. The first rotating motor 21 is used to drive the roller 21 to rotate, thereby driving the roller 21 to roll on the linear track 1.

[0025] Preferred, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each mounting frame 3 has a rotating seat 35 on its upper surface. In this example, one mounting frame 3 has two rotating seats 35. Each rotating seat 35 is fitted with a roller 36. The rotation axis of the roller 36 is parallel to the width direction of the linear track 1. The roller 36 makes rolling contact with the lower surface of the linear track 1. The roller 36 is located directly below the roller 21 which is mounted on the same mounting frame 3. The rollers are used to prevent the roller 21 from falling off the linear track 1 and to limit the rotation of the drive frame 2, so that the suction surface of the suction cup 42 is always parallel to the track surface of the linear track 1.

[0026] Preferred, such as Figure 2As shown, each end of the mounting bracket 3 is equipped with a second rotating motor 37. The drive shaft of the second rotating motor 37 is coaxially connected to the corresponding screw 33. The second rotating motor 37 is used to drive the screw 33 to rotate, so as to adjust the spacing between adjacent air chambers 4 in the width direction of the straight track 1.

[0027] Preferred, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each air tube 41 has a limiting block 43 on its outer wall. In this example, there are four limiting blocks 43 on the outer wall of one air tube 41. Each limiting block 43 has a sliding rod 44 passing through it along the axial direction of the air tube 41. Each sliding rod 44 has a limiting head 45 at its lower end. Each sliding rod 44 has its upper end connected to the lower end of the corresponding air chamber 4. Each sliding rod 44 has a spring 46 coaxially sleeved on its outer side. The two ends of the spring 46 are respectively connected to the lower end of the corresponding air chamber 4 and the limiting head 45. A first air delivery hose 47 connects the upper end of the air tube 41 and the lower end of the corresponding air chamber 4. With this design, when the suction cup 42 comes into contact with the plate, the spring 46 can provide cushioning to avoid excessive pressure that could cause deformation of the plate or the air tube 41.

[0028] Preferred, such as Figure 4 As shown, adjacent air chambers 4 on the same side of the linear track 1 are connected by a second air supply hose 48, and two air chambers 4 near one end of the linear track 1 are connected by a third air supply hose 49. Two air pumps 410 are provided on the lower surface of one end of the linear track 1. The working ends of the air pumps 410 are connected to the third air supply hoses 49 respectively. The air pumps 410 are used to control the air pressure in the air chambers 4.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application.
