Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flattening device technology, and in particular to a flattening device for flattening flat workpieces. Background Technology

[0002] The principle of image measurement is mainly based on optical imaging and computer image processing technology, achieving precise measurement by capturing feature points on the surface of an object. It mostly uses high-resolution lenses to capture light reflected from the object's surface, illuminates the object with a light source, and then a camera captures an image of the object and transmits it to a computer. This process relies on precision components such as optical scales for positioning. In the image measurement industry, it is often necessary to measure the thickness of thin sheet-like workpieces. To improve measurement accuracy, inspectors will flatten the workpiece to prevent it from curling or warping, which could lead to inaccurate measurements.

[0003] Traditional flattening methods involve designing several clamping devices around the workpiece, but this method is time-consuming, and the center of the workpiece may still not be completely flattened. Later, some manufacturers used a large transparent sheet directly on the workpiece, but this sheet is heavy, requiring multiple workers to move it, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inconvenient. Currently, a common method involves installing electric cylinders at the four corners of a measuring platform, with the cylinder rods contacting the corresponding corners of the transparent sheet. Simultaneous control of the four cylinders moves the transparent sheet up and down, flattening the workpiece. However, the cost of four electric cylinders is high, and the transparent sheet is surrounded by cylinders, making workpiece loading and unloading very inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new solution to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology and its main objective is to provide a flattening device for pressing flat workpieces, which can effectively solve the problems of high cost, time and labor consumption, and inconvenient operation of existing methods for pressing flat workpieces.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A flattening device for pressing flat workpieces includes a machine platform, a rotating mechanism, a flattening mechanism, and a driving mechanism. The machine platform has a working surface. The rotating mechanism is rotatably mounted behind the working surface. The flattening mechanism is openably mounted on the working surface, with its rear side in contact with the rotating mechanism. The flattening mechanism has a transparent plate. There are two driving mechanisms, which are located on opposite sides of the rear side of the working surface. Each driving mechanism has a retractable driving rod, the driving end of which is connected to one side of the flattening mechanism, and the extension direction of the driving rod is upward. The flattening mechanism opens and closes as the driving rod extends and retracts, driving the rotating mechanism to rotate up and down. When the flattening mechanism is closed, the transparent plate completely covers the working surface.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, a base is provided behind the working plane, and the rotating mechanism is axially connected to the base.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the base is provided with a rotating shaft. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating body and a contact element. The rotating body is axially connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating body has a through groove, and an elastic element is provided in the through groove. One end of the elastic element elastically abuts against the inner wall of the through groove. The contact element includes an integrally formed guide shaft and a contact portion. The guide shaft is movably disposed in the through groove. The contact portion contacts the flattening structure and elastically abuts against the other end of the elastic element.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic element is a spring, and the guide shaft passes through the spring.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the flattening mechanism includes a steel frame that is fitted onto the transparent sheet.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, an electromagnet adsorption mechanism is provided on both the front side and the rear side of the working plane.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a buffer mechanism is provided on the side of the working plane.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the extension direction of the drive rod is upward and forward.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the driving mechanism is a cylinder.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution:

[0016] By setting two drive mechanisms on both sides of the rear side of the working plane, the extension and retraction of the drive rod controls the opening and closing of the flattening mechanism, which drives the rotating mechanism to rotate up and down. No manual operation is required, which saves both time and effort. When the flattening mechanism is open, it forms an angle with the working plane, and there are no related mechanisms obstructing the front and sides of the working plane, making operation very convenient. The operator can smoothly feed the workpiece onto the working plane. Then, the flattening mechanism closes, and the transparent plate completely covers the working plane, completely flattening the workpiece. The image measuring instrument begins to measure the workpiece, and the design of the two drive mechanisms effectively reduces costs.

[0033] The machine base 10 has a working plane 11; in this embodiment, a seat 12 is provided behind the working plane 11, and a rotating shaft 121 is provided on the seat 12; in addition, an electromagnet adsorption mechanism 13 is provided on both the front side and the rear side of the working plane 11, and the electromagnet adsorption mechanism 13 is connected to the control module; a buffer mechanism 14 is provided on the side of the working plane 11; and a button 15 is provided on the machine base 10, the button 15 is connected to the control module, and the button 15 controls the operation of the electromagnet adsorption mechanism 13.

[0034] The rotating mechanism 20 is rotatably disposed behind the working plane 11. In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 20 is axially connected to the base 12. Specifically, the rotating mechanism 20 includes a rotating body 21 and a contact member 22. The rotating body 21 is axially connected to the rotating shaft 121. The rotating body 21 has a through groove 211. An elastic member 23 is disposed in the through groove 211. One end of the elastic member 23 elastically abuts against the inner wall of the through groove 211. The contact member 22 includes an integrally formed guide shaft 221 and a contact portion 222. The guide shaft 221 is movably disposed in the through groove 211. The contact portion 222 contacts the flattening structure 30 and elastically abuts against the other end of the elastic member 23. The elastic member 23 is a spring, and the guide shaft 221 passes through the spring.

[0035] The flattening mechanism 30 is detachably mounted on the working plane 11. The rear side of the flattening mechanism 30 is in contact with the rotating mechanism 20. The flattening mechanism 30 has a transparent plate 31. In this embodiment, the flattening mechanism 30 includes a steel frame 32, which is fitted onto the transparent plate 31.

[0036] There are two drive mechanisms 40, which are arranged on both sides of the rear side of the working plane 11. Each drive mechanism 40 has a telescopic drive rod 41, the drive end 411 of which is connected to one side of the flattening mechanism 30, and the extension direction of the drive rod 41 is upward. The aforementioned flattening mechanism 30 opens and closes with the extension and retraction of the drive rod 41, and drives the rotating mechanism 20 to rotate up and down.

The workpiece 50 is then smoothly placed on the working surface 11. The drive rod 41 retracts, and the flattening mechanism 30 begins to close. When the flattening mechanism 30 is fully closed, the workpiece 50 is completely flattened by the flattening mechanism 30. Next, the button 15 is pressed, and the electromagnet adsorption mechanism 13 begins to adsorb the steel frame 32, further flattening the workpiece 50. Finally, the image instrument 60 can measure the workpiece 50.

No manual operation is required, which saves both time and effort. When the flattening mechanism is open, it forms an angle with the working plane, and there are no related mechanisms obstructing the front and sides of the working plane, making operation very convenient. The operator can smoothly feed the workpiece onto the working plane. Then, the flattening mechanism closes, and the transparent plate completely covers the working plane, completely flattening the workpiece.
