Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing technology, and in particular to an automatic steel sheet feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Steel sheets, as basic structural components or connecting parts, are involved in the production and processing of automotive interior parts and hardware assembly. Generally, a feeding process is required to accurately transport the steel sheets to the production line, where they are connected with subsequent processes such as coating, stamping, and welding.

[0003] Currently, steel sheet feeding methods in the industry are mainly divided into two categories: "semi-automatic manual assistance" and "single-specification automation". The semi-automatic manual assistance mode mainly relies on manual labor to break the stack of steel sheets into individual sheets, which are then placed on the production line by a manual positioning table, or a simple conveyor belt is used to achieve "stacked conveying + manual sheet separation". The core relies on human intervention and has low production efficiency. The single-specification automation mode is mainly designed for steel sheets of fixed size. It uses mechanical blocks for positioning, cylinders for sheet separation, and simple photoelectric sensors to determine the material position. However, it can only realize the automated conveying of steel sheets of a single specification and cannot adapt to products of multiple specifications. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic steel sheet feeding device that can be adapted to the automated, efficient, and precise transmission of materials of various specifications.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0043] 10. Materials. Detailed Implementation

[0044] The following detailed, non-limiting description of the utility model's technical solution, in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings, is provided. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic steel sheet feeding device, which may include a feeding module (not shown), a stacking module 100, a positioning module 200, a discharging module 300, and a moving module 400 arranged in sequence.

[0046] The stacking module 100 includes at least two stacking platforms 110, which are arranged sequentially along a first direction. A loading module (e.g., located on the opposite side of the two stacking platforms 110) is provided on the opposite side of the two stacking platforms 110. Figure 1 (As indicated by the arrow in the diagram) Material 10 (i.e., steel sheet) is conveyed to the stacking platform 110, and the material 10 is coarsely positioned and stacked on the stacking platform 110. It should be noted that the stacking module 100 can also be configured with an even number of stacking platforms 110, such as four, six, etc., as long as the multiple stacking platforms 110 are symmetrically arranged, so that the feeding module on each side corresponds to the same number of stacking platforms 110. Furthermore, different sizes of materials can be placed on the symmetrical stacking platforms 110 on each side, thus enabling the conveying of two different sizes of materials on both sides.

[0047] The discharge module 300 is arranged parallel to the two stacking platforms 110 and spaced apart from them along a second direction (i.e., a direction perpendicular to the first direction). A positioning module 200 is arranged between the discharge module 300 and the two stacking platforms 110, thereby minimizing the overall production line length of the automatic steel sheet feeding device and saving space. The moving module 400 is arranged in the sequential direction of the stacking module 100, the positioning module 200, and the discharge module 300. The moving module 400 transfers the material 10 stacked on the stacking module 100 (i.e., the stacking platform 110) to the positioning module 200 for precise positioning, and then transfers the precisely positioned material to the discharge module 300, thus ensuring the accuracy between multiple materials placed on the discharge module 300. Preferably, the positioning module 200 includes at least two, and the two positioning modules 200 are arranged along the direction perpendicular to the stacking platform 110 and the discharge module 300, so as to form two transmission lines corresponding to the loading modules on both sides, thereby improving the material discharge efficiency on the discharge module 300.

[0048] In other words, the automatic steel sheet feeding device of this invention loads materials onto the stacking platform 110 in the stacking module 100 via the feeding module. Then, the moving module 400 transfers the materials from the stacking platform 110 to the positioning module 200. The positioning module 200 can accurately position materials of various sizes and specifications. Finally, the moving module 400 precisely places the materials 10 onto the discharge module 300 at predetermined intervals for output. Therefore, the automatic steel sheet feeding device of this invention can be adapted to the automated and precise transmission of materials of various specifications, resulting in high production efficiency.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the two stacking platforms 110 are respectively equipped with a visual positioning device 120 and a magnetic separator (not shown).

[0050] Specifically, a visual positioning device 120 is installed on the stacking platform 110 to accurately position the stacked materials, ensuring the accuracy of the moving module 400 when picking up materials. Magnetic sheet separators are installed at the four corners of the stacking platform 110, that is, at the periphery of the material stacking area, to facilitate the individual sheet picking of the entire stack of materials.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the positioning module 200 may include a first frame 210, a positioning platform 220, and at least four limiting components 230. The positioning platform 220 is located on the top of the first frame 210. The four limiting components 230 are respectively located on the four sides of the positioning platform 220, forming a limiting area between the four limiting components 230.

[0052] Specifically, the moving module 400 transfers the material 10 from the stacking platform 110 to the positioning platform 220. Then, four limiting components 230 clamp and position the four sides of the material 10, thereby correcting the placement angle of the material 10 and ensuring accurate spacing between the materials subsequently placed on the discharging module 300. In addition, the positioning platform 220 also serves as an intermediate storage platform.

[0053] As an example, the limiting component 230 may include a drive source and a limiting block. The drive source is mounted on the side of the positioning platform 220, with its telescopic end facing the center of the positioning platform 220. The limiting block is connected to the telescopic end of the drive source. It should be noted that the drive source can be a servo motor, which can ensure the accuracy of the distance movement of the telescopic end.

[0054] In other words, the limiting block is driven by the drive source to reciprocate and extend toward the center of the positioning platform 220, thereby achieving precise positioning of the limiting block on the material outline and preventing position deviation.

[0055] In some embodiments, the moving module 400 may include a first material transfer mechanism and a second material transfer mechanism. The first material transfer mechanism is disposed between the stacking module 100 and the positioning module 200, and the second material transfer mechanism is disposed between the positioning module 200 and the discharging module 300.

[0056] In other words, the first material transfer mechanism transports the material 10 from the stacking module 100 to the positioning module 200, while the second material transfer mechanism transports the material from the positioning module 200 to the discharge module 300. This independent transfer significantly improves production efficiency. It should be noted that there can be two moving modules 400, each corresponding to both the stacking platform 110 and the positioning platform 220 on each side.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the moving module 400 may further include a second frame 410. The second frame 410 is provided at a position between the discharge module 300 and each stacking platform 110 along a second direction. The first material transfer mechanism and the second material transfer mechanism are respectively movably connected to the second frame 410 along the second direction via the first moving module 420.

[0058] In other words, a second frame 410 is set between the discharge module 300 and each stacking platform 110, so that the second frame 410 passes through the stacking platform 110, the positioning module 200 and the discharge module 300 in sequence along the second direction. The first moving module 420 drives the first material transfer mechanism and the second material transfer mechanism to move back and forth on the second frame 410, so as to carry out material transportation separately in a stable and reliable manner.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, both the first and second material transfer mechanisms can include a second moving module 430, a third moving module 440, and a suction cup assembly 450. The fixed end of the second moving module 430 is connected to the moving end of the first moving module 420. The fixed end of the third moving module 440 is connected to the moving end of the second moving module 430 and reciprocates along a first direction. The suction cup assembly 450 is mounted on the moving end of the third moving module 440 and moves vertically along the height direction.

[0060] In other words, the first moving module 420 drives the second moving module 430 to reciprocate along the second direction, the second moving module 430 drives the third moving module 440 to reciprocate along the first direction, and the third moving module 440 drives the suction cup assembly 450 to move up and down, thereby realizing the up and down adjustment of the suction cup assembly 450 in the horizontal plane along the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction, ensuring that the material adsorbed by the suction cup assembly 450 accurately reaches the designated position.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first material transfer mechanism may also include a rotary motor 460, which is mounted on the moving end of the third moving module 440, and the rotating shaft of the rotary motor 460 is connected to the suction cup assembly 450.

[0062] Therefore, by driving the suction cup assembly 450 to rotate via the rotary motor 460, the angle of the material 10 can be changed from the stacking platform 110 to the positioning platform 220.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the discharge module 300 may include a third frame 310, multiple conveyor rollers 320, and a linear velocity sensor (not shown). The third frame 310 is arranged along a first direction, that is, parallel to the stacking platform 110, thereby reducing the overall length of the conveyor line. Multiple conveyor rollers 320 are spaced apart on the third frame 310 along the first direction. The linear velocity sensor is mounted on the third frame 310.

[0064] In other words, after the material 10 is corrected in position on the positioning platform 220, it is transferred to the third frame 310 by the second material transfer mechanism, and then fed out along the first direction by the conveyor rollers 320 arranged on the third frame 310. Furthermore, positioning fixtures (which move along the first direction on the third frame 310) are laid on multiple conveyor rollers 320, and linear velocity sensors are also installed on the third frame 310. Thus, the second material transfer mechanisms at two locations can cooperate with each other and efficiently place materials at intervals on the positioning fixtures according to the speed of movement of the positioning fixtures monitored by the linear velocity sensors, ensuring that the material feeding keeps up with the speed of the production line and that the material interval is controlled within a precise range.

[0065] In addition, the automatic steel sheet feeding device of this utility model is equipped with protective nets around the feeding module (not shown), the stacking module 100, and the positioning module 200 to isolate them from the outside world and ensure the safety of personnel during the production process.

[0066] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
