Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of sheet metal stamping, and in particular to an integrated automated equipment for sheet metal stamping. Background Technology

[0002] Stamping is a processing method that uses a press and dies to apply external force to sheet metal, strip, tube and profile, causing plastic deformation or separation, thereby obtaining stamped parts of the required shape and size.

[0003] The stamping process of metal sheets consists of four steps: forming, trimming, shaping, and punching. Each step is handled by a stamping machine. Therefore, the metal sheets need to be transferred to the corresponding stamping machines for processing according to the four steps. Currently, the transfer process is done manually, which results in low production efficiency. Furthermore, due to the numerous stamping processes, manual operation is prone to workplace accidents. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to improve production efficiency and reduce the risk of workplace accidents, this application provides an integrated automated equipment for sheet metal stamping.

[0005] This application provides an integrated automated equipment for sheet metal stamping, which adopts the following technical solution: An integrated automated sheet metal stamping processing equipment includes four stamping stations, each equipped with a stamping machine for forming, trimming, shaping, and punching sheet metal. It also includes transfer robotic arms for transferring sheet metal and a material distribution and cutting device. Five transfer robotic arms are provided corresponding to the four stamping stations. The material distribution and cutting device unwinds the coiled sheet metal and cuts it to the required size. The device places at least two cut sheet metal pieces side-by-side, awaiting the transfer robotic arms to pick up the pieces and transfer them to the stamping stations for processing. Each stamping station processes at least two sheet metal pieces at a time.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the material sorting and cutting device first unwinds and cuts the coiled sheet into fixed sizes, and then places the cut sheets side by side for the transfer robotic arm to pick up. Taking the processing of two sheets at a time as an example, the material sorting and cutting device places the two cut sheets side by side, and the transfer robotic arm picks up the two sheets and places them on the stamping station. Five transfer robotic arms correspond to four stamping stations, transferring the sheets from the previous station to the next station. Finally, the processed sheets are output through the transfer robotic arms.

[0007] In summary, by using a robotic arm to transfer sheet metal, replacing manual operation, work efficiency is improved on the one hand, and the risk of workplace accidents such as squeezing and impact that may occur when people approach the stamping equipment is completely eliminated, reducing the risk of workplace injury to almost zero. The material cutting device places two sheet metals side by side, enabling the stamping machine to process two sheet metals at a time, which improves production efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the material sorting and cutting device includes an unwinder for unwinding the wound sheet metal, a cutting machine for cutting the unwound sheet metal, and a material sorting rack for receiving the sheet metal; the discharge port of the cutting machine is connected to one end of the material sorting rack; the material sorting rack is provided with a drive mechanism and a push mechanism, and the transfer robotic arm is located at the end of the material sorting rack away from the cutting machine; the drive mechanism drives the sheet metal to move to the end of the material sorting rack away from the cutting machine, the push mechanism is located at the end of the material sorting rack away from the cutting machine and pushes the sheet metal to both sides of the material sorting rack, and the transfer robotic arm grabs the sheet metal and transfers it to the stamping station.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the unwinder can unwind the wound sheet, and the cutting machine cuts the unwound sheet to obtain the sheet of the required size. The cut sheet falls onto the sorting rack, and the drive mechanism moves the sheet to the end of the sorting rack away from the cutting machine. Then, the pushing mechanism pushes the sheet to both sides of the sorting rack. The transfer robotic arm located at the end of the sorting rack away from the cutting machine grabs the two sheets on both sides of the sorting rack and places them on the stamping station for processing.

[0010] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing plate and an electric push rod. The electric push rod is mounted on the material distribution frame. The pushing plate is fixed to the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod. The electric push rod drives the pushing plate to move to push the plates to the two sides of the material distribution frame, so that the transfer robotic arm can grab two plates at the same time.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric push rod drives the push plate to push the board driven by the driven mechanism to push it left and right, so that the two boards are pushed to the two sides of the material distribution frame in turn; finally, two rows of neatly arranged boards are formed on both sides of the material distribution frame, and the spacing between the two rows of boards is perfectly matched with the spacing of the gripper of the transfer robotic arm, ensuring that the robotic arm can accurately grab two boards at once.

[0012] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a plurality of rolling shafts and a transmission assembly. The plurality of rolling shafts are evenly spaced along the length direction of the material distribution frame, and the two ends of the rolling shafts are rotatably connected to the two sides of the material distribution frame along the length direction. The transmission assembly is also disposed on the material distribution frame, and the transmission assembly drives the plurality of rolling shafts to roll so as to move the sheet material.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission component drives several rolling shafts to roll. When the cut sheet falls onto the sorting rack, the sheet comes into contact with the rolling shafts, and the rolling shafts roll and move the sheet to the end of the sorting rack away from the cutting machine.

[0014] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a chain and a drive motor. There are two chains, which are respectively sleeved on both ends of a plurality of rolling shafts. The drive motor is mounted on the material distribution frame, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixed to a rolling shaft.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, two chains are respectively fitted and fixed at both ends of all rolling shafts to form a synchronous transmission structure at both ends. When the drive motor drives one of the rolling shafts to rotate, the power is synchronously transmitted to all other rolling shafts through the chains, ensuring that the rotation direction and speed of all rolling shafts are completely consistent, thus solving the problem of possible speed difference at both ends of the rolling shafts, which can easily cause the plate to shift laterally.

[0016] Preferably, the material distribution rack is provided with two limiting plates at one end near the cutting machine. The two limiting plates are installed on the material distribution rack and suspended above the rolling shaft. A limiting area is formed between the two limiting plates. The limiting area is wider at the end near the cutting machine and narrower at the end away from the cutting machine, so as to guide the material to move to the middle of the material distribution rack.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the two limiting plates form a limiting area with a wide entrance and a narrow exit. When the sheet material enters the material distribution rack from the cutting machine outlet, even if there is a certain deviation, it will gradually move towards the middle of the material distribution rack under the guidance of the two limiting plates. This prevents the board from being unable to be pushed to the side of the material distribution rack when the board material moves to the area to be grabbed.

[0018] Preferably, the material distribution rack is provided with an installation plate, and the two ends of the installation plate are respectively fixed to the two sides of the material distribution rack; the installation plate is provided with a waist-shaped hole, and the waist-shaped hole is provided along the length direction of the installation plate; two installation plates are provided, and the two installation plates are arranged parallel to each other, and bolts pass through the waist-shaped holes of the two installation plates to fix the two ends of the limiting plate respectively.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the waist-shaped holes on the mounting plate are set along the length direction. Bolts pass through the waist-shaped holes to fix the limiting plates. By loosening the bolts, the limiting plates can be moved along the length direction of the waist-shaped holes, thereby adjusting the inlet and outlet widths of the figure-eight structure formed by the two limiting plates. This adapts to different types of plates and enhances the flexibility of the equipment.

[0020] Preferably, the end of the material distribution rack away from the cutting machine is provided with a baffle plate to block the movement of the sheet material.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle plate is set at the end of the material distribution frame away from the cutting machine. When the material is conveyed to this end by the drive mechanism, the baffle plate blocks the material from moving further, so that the end of each material can fit with the baffle plate, thereby aligning the ends of the material and unifying the position to be gripped.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The material sorting and cutting device first unwinds and cuts the coiled sheet into fixed sizes, then places the cut sheets side by side for the transfer robotic arm to pick up. Taking the processing of two sheets at a time as an example, the material sorting and cutting device places the two cut sheets side by side, and the transfer robotic arm picks up the two sheets and places them on the stamping station. Five transfer robotic arms correspond to four stamping stations, transferring the sheets from one station to the next. Finally, the processed sheets are output through the transfer robotic arms. In summary, by using transfer robotic arms to transfer the sheets, replacing manual operation, work efficiency is improved on the one hand, and the risk of work-related injuries such as squeezing and impact that may occur when people approach the stamping equipment is completely eliminated, reducing the risk of work-related injuries to almost zero. The material sorting and cutting device places two sheets side by side, allowing the stamping machine to process two sheets at a time, thus improving production efficiency. 2. The baffle is set at the end of the material distribution frame away from the cutting machine. When the material is conveyed to this end by the drive mechanism, the baffle blocks the material from moving further, so that the end of each material can fit against the baffle, so that the ends of the material are aligned and the position to be gripped is uniform. 3. The two limiting plates form a limiting area with a wide entrance and a narrow exit. When the sheet material enters the material distribution rack from the cutting machine's outlet, even if there is a certain deviation, it will gradually move towards the middle of the material distribution rack under the guidance of the two limiting plates. This prevents interference between the pushing plate and the sheet material when the sheet material moves to the area to be grabbed, which would prevent the sheet material from being pushed to the side of the material distribution rack.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses an integrated automated equipment for sheet metal stamping.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An integrated automated equipment for sheet metal stamping includes a material cutting device 1 for cutting and arranging sheet metal 14.

[0028] The material slitting and cutting device 1 includes an unwinder 11 for unwinding the wound sheet 14, a cutting machine 12 for cutting the unwound sheet 14, and a material slitting rack 13 for receiving the sheet 14. The unwinder is located on one side of the cutting machine 12 and puts the sheet 14 into the cutting machine 12. The cutting machine 12 is located at one end of the material slitting rack 13, and the discharge port of the cutting machine 12 is connected to the material slitting rack 13.

[0029] The material sorting rack 13 is equipped with a drive mechanism 2 and a push mechanism 3. The drive mechanism 2 drives the plate 14 to move to the end of the material sorting rack 13 away from the cutting machine 12. The push mechanism 3 is also located at the end of the material sorting rack 13 away from the cutting machine 12 and pushes the plate 14 to both sides of the material sorting rack 13.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It also includes four stamping stations 4 and transfer robotic arms 5. The four stamping stations 4 are respectively equipped with stamping machines for forming, trimming, shaping and punching operations on the sheet metal 14. There are five transfer robotic arms 5. The four stamping stations 4 and transfer robotic arms 5 are all located at the end of the material distribution rack 13 away from the cutting machine 12. The four stamping stations 4 and transfer robotic arms 5 are arranged in a production line. Among them, the five transfer robotic arms 5 separate the four stamping stations 4 and the material distribution rack 13. The transfer robotic arm 5 closest to the material distribution rack 13 grabs the sheet metal 14 and transfers it to the stamping station 4. The other four transfer robotic arms 5 transfer the sheet metal 14 processed on the stamping station 4 to the next stamping station 4 between the stamping stations 4. Finally, the processed sheet metal 14 is output.

[0031] The unwinder 11 first unwinds the coiled sheet 14, and the cutting machine 12 cuts the unwound sheet 14 to obtain a sheet 14 of the required size. The cut sheet 14 falls onto the sorting rack 13. The drive mechanism 2 moves the sheet 14 to the end of the sorting rack 13 away from the cutting machine 12. Then, the push mechanism 3 pushes the sheet 14 to both sides of the sorting rack 13. The transfer robotic arm 5 located at the end of the sorting rack 13 away from the cutting machine 12 picks up the two sheets 14 on both sides of the sorting rack 13 and places them onto the stamping station 4 for processing. Taking the processing of two sheets 14 at a time as an example, the sorting and cutting device 1 places the two cut sheets 14 side by side, and the transfer robotic arm 5 picks up the two sheets 14 and places them onto the stamping station 4. Five transfer robotic arms 5 correspond to four stamping stations 4, transferring the sheet 14 from one station to the next station. Finally, the processed sheet 14 is output through the transfer robotic arms 5.

[0032] The transfer robotic arm 5 transfers the sheet metal 14, replacing manual operation. This improves work efficiency and completely eliminates the risk of work-related injuries such as squeezing and impact that may occur when people approach the stamping equipment, reducing the risk of work-related injuries to almost zero. The material cutting device 1 places two sheet metal 14 side by side, enabling the stamping machine to process two sheet metal 14 at a time, thus improving production efficiency.

[0033] refer to Figure 3 The drive mechanism 2 includes a rolling shaft 21 and a transmission assembly 22. The two ends of the rolling shaft 21 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the material distribution frame 13 via bearings. Several rolling shafts 21 are evenly spaced along the length of the material distribution frame 13. The plate 14 cut by the cutting machine 12 falls onto the material distribution frame 13 and contacts the rolling shaft 21. The transmission assembly 22 is set on the material distribution frame 13 to drive the rolling shaft 21 to roll and move the plate 14.

[0034] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The transmission assembly 22 includes a chain 221 and a drive motor 222. Two chains 221 are provided, which are respectively sleeved on both ends of a plurality of rolling shafts 21 and engage with gears at the ends of the rolling shafts 21. The drive motor 222 is bolted to the material distribution frame 13. The output shaft of the drive motor 222 is coaxially fixed with one of the rolling shafts 21. When the drive motor 222 drives one of the rolling shafts 21 to rotate, the power is synchronously transmitted to all other rolling shafts 21 through the chain 221, ensuring that the rotation direction and speed of all rolling shafts 21 are completely consistent, thus solving the problem of possible speed difference between the two ends of the rolling shafts 21, which can easily cause the plate 14 to shift laterally.

[0035] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The pushing mechanism 3 includes a pushing plate 31 and an electric push rod 32. The electric push rod 32 is bolted to the material distribution frame 13 and is located below the rolling shaft 21. The pushing plate 31 is a U-shaped plate. There are two electric push rods 32. The two ends of the pushing plate 31 pass through the gap between two adjacent rolling shafts 21. The two ends of the pushing plate 31 are respectively bolted to the telescopic shafts of the two electric push rods 32. The pushing plate 31 does not interfere with the rolling shafts 21. The electric push rod 32 drives the pushing plate 31 to move along the width direction of the material distribution frame 13. The pushing plate 31 pushes the plates 14 driven by the rolling shaft 21 left and right, so that the two plates 14 are pushed to the two sides of the material distribution frame 13 in sequence. Finally, two rows of plates 14 are formed on both sides of the material distribution frame 13, and the spacing between the two rows of plates 14 is completely matched with the spacing of the gripper of the transfer robotic arm 5, ensuring that the robotic arm can accurately grasp two plates 14 at one time.

[0036] The material distribution rack 13 is bolted to one end of the cutting machine 12 with a mounting plate 6. The two ends of the mounting plate 6 are bolted to the two sides of the material distribution rack 13 respectively. The mounting plate 6 is set along the width of the rack body, and the mounting plate 6 has a waist-shaped hole 7 along its own length.

[0037] Two mounting plates 6 are provided, and two limiting plates 8 are provided below the two mounting plates 6. The two ends of the two limiting plates 8 are fixed to the mounting plates 6 by bolts passing through the waist-shaped holes 7 of the two mounting plates 6. Both limiting plates 8 are suspended above the rolling shaft 21. A limiting area 9 is formed between the two limiting plates 8 to guide the plate 14 to the middle of the material distribution rack 13. The limiting area 9 is a figure-eight shaped area. The end of the limiting area 9 closer to the cutting machine 12 has a large opening, and the end of the limiting area 9 away from the cutting machine 12 is narrow.

[0038] The end of the material distribution rack 13 away from the cutting machine 12 is bolted with a baffle plate 10 to block the movement of the sheet material 14. When the sheet material 14 is conveyed to this end by the drive mechanism 2, the baffle plate 10 blocks the sheet material 14 from continuing to move, so that the end of each sheet material 14 can fit with the baffle plate 10, so that the ends of the sheet material 14 are aligned and the position to be grabbed is unified.

[0039] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: the transfer robotic arm 5 transfers the sheet metal 14, replacing manual operation. This improves work efficiency and completely eliminates the possibility of work-related injuries such as squeezing and impact when personnel approach the stamping equipment, reducing the risk of work-related injuries to almost zero. The unwinder 11 can unwind the coiled sheet metal 14, and the cutting machine 12 cuts the unwinded sheet metal 14 to obtain the sheet metal 14 of the required size. The cut sheet metal 14 falls onto the material distribution rack 13. The drive mechanism 2 moves the sheet metal 14 to the end of the material distribution rack 13 away from the cutting machine 12. Then, the push mechanism 3 pushes the sheet metal 14 to both sides of the material distribution rack 13. The transfer robotic arm 5, located at the end of the material distribution rack 13 away from the cutting machine 12, grabs the two sheet metal 14s on both sides of the material distribution rack 13 and places them onto the stamping station 4 for processing, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
