Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel strip processing, and in particular to an automatic steel strip feeding and forming machine. Background Technology

[0002] Steel strip forming parts are widely used in various fields, such as construction, automobiles, or electrical appliances. In actual processing, obtaining steel strip forming parts requires drilling, stamping, and other different processing of the steel strip. Different processing of the steel strip requires different processing equipment. Therefore, in the actual steel strip forming process, the steel strip needs to be transported between different processing equipment.

[0003] In the past, the transport of steel strips between various processing devices relied heavily on manual handling. However, manual handling is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has high labor costs and significant safety hazards. Currently, it is mostly achieved through a semi-automated and semi-manual system. That is, the steel strip is transported by a conveyor belt, and when it reaches the vicinity of the relevant processing device, the steel strip is then manually moved to the processing device. However, the degree of automation in this method is still low, and there are still significant safety hazards, resulting in weak market competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic steel strip feeding and forming machine that can solve one or more of the above problems.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, an automatic steel strip feeding and forming machine is provided, comprising a moving table, a clamping mechanism, an X-axis transfer mechanism, a Z-axis transfer mechanism, a Y-axis transfer mechanism, a processing device, and a frame. The processing device comprises multiple units, each mounted on a machine frame. The clamping mechanism includes multiple unit clamping structures and connecting members. Adjacent unit clamping structures are connected by connecting members. The clamping mechanism is connected to the X-axis transfer mechanism, which is mounted on a moving platform. The moving platform is connected to the Z-axis transfer mechanism, which is connected to the Y-axis transfer mechanism. The Y-axis transfer mechanism is connected to the frame.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, the unit clamping structure on the clamping mechanism can be used to clamp the steel strip, and the X-axis transfer mechanism, Z-axis transfer mechanism, and Y-axis transfer mechanism work together to realize the conveying of the steel strip. The Z-axis transfer mechanism facilitates the adjustment of the clamping mechanism height, allowing the steel strip to avoid the processing position of the processing device when it needs to be transferred. The Y-axis transfer mechanism allows the clamping mechanism to move from one processing device to another, allowing the steel strip to move to different processing devices. The X-axis transfer mechanism facilitates the steel strip moving closer to or further away from the processing device. This utility model can realize the feeding of the steel strip to each processing device and the conveying between them through mechanical mechanisms, with a high degree of automation, high safety, and strong market competitiveness. Furthermore, due to the multiple unit clamping structures, multiple steel strips can be easily transferred from one processing device to another in a single conveying operation, reducing the need for processing positioning adjustments and greatly improving feeding and processing efficiency.

The guide post is connected to the Y-axis transfer mechanism. The second cylinder can drive the moving platform to move along the Z-axis direction, and this movement of the moving platform is restricted and guided by the guide post through the guide sleeve to ensure its accuracy.

[0026] The clamping mechanism 2 includes a unit clamping structure 21 and a connector 22. There can be multiple unit clamping structures 21. In this embodiment, three unit clamping structures 21 are preferred. Each unit clamping structure 21 includes a first clamping block 211, a second clamping block 212, a slide rail 213, a first slider 214, a second slider 215, and a clamping cylinder 216. The slide rail 213 is fixedly connected to the clamping cylinder 216. The first clamping block 211 and the first slider 214 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0027] The clamping cylinders 216 on adjacent unit clamping structures 21 are connected by a connector 22. In this embodiment, preferably, the connector 22 between the clamping cylinders 216 of the two unit clamping structures 21 is connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder 31, and the clamping cylinders 216 of the two unit clamping structures 21 are respectively connected to the two first guide blocks 33 through connecting blocks.

[0028] This automatic steel strip feeding and forming machine also includes a base 8, a side limiting mechanism 9, and an upper and lower limiting mechanism 10. The base 8 is fixedly mounted on the frame 7 with screws, and the side limiting mechanism 9 and the upper and lower limiting mechanism 10 are respectively mounted on the base 8.

[0029] The side limiting mechanism 9 includes a first roller 91, a second roller 92, and a bracket 93. The bracket 93 is fixedly connected to the base 8 by screws. Preferably, there are two first rollers 91 and two second rollers 92. The first rollers 91 and the second rollers 92 are rotatably connected to the bracket 93 by a pivot, and the first rollers 91 and the second rollers 92 are set at the same height. The two first rollers 91 and the two second rollers 92 are respectively arranged opposite to each other, and a first channel 94 is provided between the first rollers 91 and the second rollers 92.

[0030] Preferably, there are two upper and lower limiting mechanisms 10. The two upper and lower limiting mechanisms 10 are respectively arranged adjacent to the two ends of the side limiting mechanism 9. In each upper and lower limiting mechanism 10, the upper and lower limiting mechanism 10 includes a first guide roller 101, a second guide roller 102 and a support block 103. The support block 103 is fixedly connected to the base 8 by screws. The first guide roller 102 and the second guide roller 103 are rotatably connected to the support block 103 by a rotating shaft. The first guide roller 102 and the second guide roller 103 are arranged opposite each other. A second channel 104 is provided between the first guide roller 102 and the second guide roller 103.

[0031] The first channel 94 and the second channel 104, once configured, can be higher than the height of the processing table on the processing device 6.

[0032] In this embodiment of the automatic steel strip feeding and forming machine, initially, one end of the steel strip can be conveyed by an external feeder through the first channel 94 and the second channel 104 and then extend out. The side limiting mechanism 9 can limit the side of the steel strip, and the upper and lower limiting mechanism 10 can limit the upper and lower ends of the steel strip, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the steel strip position.

[0033] The combined operation of the X-axis transfer mechanism 3 and the Z-axis transfer mechanism 4 allows the clamping mechanism 2 to approach the end of the steel strip. Specifically, the second cylinder 41 on the Z-axis transfer mechanism 4 can be activated to move the moving table 1 accordingly along the Z-axis, thereby changing the height of the clamping mechanism 2 mounted on the moving table 1. Meanwhile, the first cylinder 31 of the X-axis transfer mechanism 3 can drive the clamping mechanism 2 to move left and right along the X-axis, and the clamping mechanism 2 is limited by the first guide rail 32 due to the sliding of the first guide block 33 connected to it on the first guide rail 32.

[0034] Then, the unit clamping structure 21 closest to the base 8 on the clamping mechanism 2 can clamp the end of the steel strip. Specifically, the clamping cylinder 216 can drive the first slider 214 and the second slider 215 to move, so that the first clamping block 211 and the second clamping block 212 move towards each other to abut against the upper and lower sides of the steel strip to achieve clamping.

[0035] Then the Y-axis transfer mechanism 5 works, so that the steel strip held by the clamping mechanism 2 can be transferred to the processing table of the processing device 6 closest to the base 8. Specifically, the motor 51 on the Y-axis transfer mechanism 5 can drive the lead screw and nut device to work, so that the moving plate 55 moves along the second guide rail 53, that is, moves along the Y-axis, so that the moving table 1 set on the moving plate 5 moves accordingly, and the clamping mechanism 2 set on the moving table 1 moves accordingly, so that the steel strip held by the clamping mechanism 2 also moves accordingly.

[0036] Then, the Z-axis transfer mechanism 4 operates, and the steel strip is lowered onto the processing table of the processing device 6 for processing. At the same time, the clamping mechanism 2 releases its grip on the steel strip, and the X-axis transfer mechanism 3 operates to make the clamping mechanism 2 retract to leave the processing device 6.

[0037] Afterwards, the next steel strip is conveyed through the first channel 94 and the rear end of the second channel 104 is exposed. When the steel strip on the processing device 6 is processed, the Y-axis transfer mechanism 5 works so that the unit clamping structure 21 closest to the base 8 of the clamping mechanism 2 matches the new steel strip position again. At this time, the position of another unit clamping structure 21 adjacent to the unit clamping structure 21 can match the processed steel strip. Then the clamping mechanism 2 can clamp the two steel strips.

[0038] Then, relying on the operation of the Z-axis transfer mechanism 4, the clamping mechanism 2 is raised, and the two steel strips clamped by the clamping mechanism 2 are raised accordingly. At this time, the Y-axis transfer mechanism 5 can work, so that the two steel strips clamped by the clamping mechanism 2 can move separately. The new steel strip can be sent to the first processing device 6, and the old steel strip can be transferred to the next processing device 6. Relying on the Z-axis transfer mechanism 4, the clamping mechanism 2 is lowered. Then the clamping mechanism 2 releases its grip on the steel strip, and the X-axis transfer mechanism 3 works to move the clamping mechanism 2 away from the processing device 6. At this time, different processing devices 6 can process the steel strips located on them.

[0039] The above process is then repeated continuously so that the steel strip can pass through each processing device 6 in sequence and be sent to the subsequent external processing equipment by the unit holding mechanism 21 farthest from the base 8, thereby completing the processing of each steel strip on each processing device 6 in sequence.

[0040] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
