Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a plate stacking device, and more particularly to a plate stacking device that can flip a preset plate and attach a padding layer. The device is equipped with at least one set of processing units, a first feeding area and a second feeding area in the working space of the transfer unit to convey a preset first plate and a second plate respectively, so as to achieve the purpose of automated stacking of preset plates. Background Technology

[0002] Plate-shaped workpieces that typically require multiple processing steps are transported between processing stations via conveyor systems (such as conveyor belts, conveyor rollers, conveyor tracks, or robotic arms). However, due to limitations in the overall design of the mechanism and the flow of the workpieces being transported, the conveyor systems cannot operate at high speeds to prevent collisions or detachment of the workpieces from the system. This limitation also limits the speed of the conveyor, extending the overall processing time and making it less economical.

[0003] Furthermore, when the workpieces are conveyed through the conveyor system, they are prone to swaying, shaking, and other contact friction due to external forces. This can easily lead to scratches or wear on the surface of the workpieces. If the workpieces are made of materials such as plastic, silicone, or acrylic, static electricity can easily occur during transmission and transport. If the transmission and transport speed is slow, the static electricity generated by the workpieces can attract and adhere to surrounding dust, fine particles, or burrs, causing scratches, abrasions, or unevenness on the surface of the workpieces. This can result in defective or scrap workpieces that must be replaced with other workpieces, further hindering the smoothness of subsequent processing, causing delays and deteriorating the processing quality.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problems and troubles caused by the slow speed of the current plate-shaped workpieces during the transmission and transportation process, which leads to the extension of processing time and process sequence, and the trouble and defects caused by the static electricity of the workpieces easily attracting debris and fine dust, resulting in scratches and wear on the surface of the workpieces and affecting the deterioration of processing quality, is the direction that relevant manufacturers in this industry are eager to research and improve.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a sheet metal stacking device, including a transfer unit 1, at least one set of processing units 2, at least one set of first feeding areas 3, and at least one set of second feeding areas 4, wherein:

[0031] The transfer unit 1 includes at least one transfer mechanism 11 located in the work space 10 and at least one drive unit 12 that drives at least one transfer mechanism 11 to move back and forth.

[0032] The at least one set of processing units 2 includes a control unit 21, a moving component 22 controlled by the control unit 21, a sliding base 23 extending outward from one side of the control unit 21, a work platform 24 movably assembled on the sliding base 23, and a working mold 25 provided on the work platform 24 for the moving component 22 to be tilted and displaced.

[0033] The at least one set of first feeding areas 3 is located on one side of at least one set of processing units 2, including a first conveying unit 31 for conveying a preset first plate 32, for at least one or more transfer mechanisms 11 to take out the preset first plate 32 to the working mold 25 of the working platform 24.

[0034] The at least one set of second feeding areas 4 is located on the other side of at least one set of processing units 2 relative to at least one set of first feeding areas 3, including a second conveying unit 41 for conveying a preset second plate 42, for at least one or more transfer mechanisms 11 to take out the preset second plate 42 to the working mold 25 of the working platform 24.

[0035] The aforementioned transfer unit 1 of this utility model includes a frame body 111 horizontally positioned above at least one set of processing units 2, at least one set of first feeding areas 3, and at least one set of second feeding areas 4. The frame body 111 forms the working space 10, and at least one transfer mechanism 11 is movably arranged in the working space 10. At least one drive unit 12 is provided on the frame body 111, which can drive at least one transfer mechanism 11 to move back and forth in the working space 10. The at least one transfer mechanism 11 can be a robotic arm, a vacuum suction cup, or a mechanical gripper, etc.; and the at least one drive unit 12 can be a motor drive belt and pulley, a chain and sprocket, or a sliding track and sliding seat, etc., to drive at least one transfer mechanism 11 to move back and forth.

[0036] The control unit 21 of the at least one processing unit 2 of the present invention can be a control system with a preset electronic circuit layout, etc., so as to allow the movable component 22 to swing back and forth in a fan shape. The movable component 22 can be a robotic arm, a rod with a suction cup, or a rod with a gripper, etc. The sliding base 23 extending from one side of the control unit 21 and the work platform 24 are provided with a dovetail seat and dovetail groove, chain and sprocket, belt and pulley, or sliding base and sliding groove, etc., for relative sliding displacement, so that the work platform 24 can slide back and forth on the sliding base 23. The working mold 25 provided on the work platform 24 can include a base 251 and a top cover 252, that is, soft pads are respectively provided on the opposite inner surfaces of the base 251 and the top cover 252. The base 251, the top cover 252 and each soft padding material 253 are provided with a spacer layer 254. The soft padding material 253 can be kraft paper, corrugated paper, acrylic board or plastic board, etc. The spacer layer 254 can be a copper layer, etc. Positioning pins 255 and other rods can be inserted at at least two opposite corners of the base 251 and the top cover 252. At least two opposite corners of the preset first plate 32 and the preset second plate 42 are respectively provided with a first positioning hole 320 and a second positioning hole 420, which can be inserted into each positioning pin 255 respectively, so that the preset first plate 32 and the preset second plate 42 can be accurately and stably aligned with each positioning pin 255 and can be stacked on the base 251 without being prone to displacement or skewing.

[0037] Furthermore, at least one first feeding area 3 of the present invention includes a first conveying unit 31 and a preset first plate 32 conveyed by the first conveying unit 31. The preset first plate 32 may be a plate made of metal (such as steel plate or stainless steel plate). At least one second feeding area 4 includes a second conveying unit 41 and a preset second plate 42 conveyed by the second conveying unit 41. The preset second plate 42 may be a copper foil layer or the like. The second conveying unit 41 may be a conveyor belt, a set of conveying rollers, or a robotic arm or the like.

[0038] Therefore, the plate stacking equipment of the present invention can be driven by the drive unit 12 through the transfer mechanism 11 of the transfer unit 1, and the processing unit 2 located in the working space 10 of the frame body 111 can be moved back and forth by the transfer mechanism 11 of the transfer unit 1. The processing unit 2 located in the working space 10 of the frame body 111 can be driven by the control unit 21 to move the work platform 24 on the sliding base 23 to a position close to the moving member 22. The control unit 21 can drive the moving member 22 to flip and move the upper cover 252 of the working mold 25 on the work platform 24 away from the base 251, so that the control unit 21 can transfer the work platform 24 along the sliding base 23 to the working space 10. The drive unit 12 can then drive the transfer mechanism 11 to move in the working space 10. The material is moved to the first feeding area 3, where the transfer mechanism 11 removes the preset first plate 32 conveyed on the first conveying unit 31 and transfers it to the base 251 of the working mold 25 for stacking. Then, the drive unit 12 drives the transfer mechanism 11 to move from the working space 10 to the second feeding area 4, where the transfer mechanism 11 removes the preset second plate 42 conveyed on the second conveying unit 41 and transfers it to the base 251 of the working mold 25 for stacking on the preset first plate 32. Subsequently, the preset padding layer 256 is stacked between any two adjacent preset first plates 32. During the stacking operation, the preset first positioning holes 320 at at least two corners of the preset first plate 32 can be used to separate the material. At least two corners of the base 251 are provided with positioning pins 255 to ensure that the first plate 32 is stably stacked on the base 251. Similarly, at least two corners of the second plate 42 are provided with pre-set second positioning holes 420 corresponding to the positioning pins 255 at the corners of the base 251, ensuring that the second plate 42 is stably stacked on the first plate 32 and on the base 251. Furthermore, at least two corners of the padding layer 256 are provided with pre-set third positioning holes 2560 corresponding to the positioning pins 255 at the corners of the base 251, ensuring that the padding layer 256 is stably stacked between any two adjacent first plates 32. This sequence can be followed. The preset first plate 32, preset second plate 42, preset padding layer 256, etc., are stacked on the base 251 according to the preset quantity (which can be determined according to the number of bearing plates set in the working mold 25). After the desired number of plates are stacked, the control unit 21 moves the working platform 24 on the sliding base 23 to a position close to the moving member 22. The control unit 21 then drives the moving member 22 to cover the top cover 252 and stack it on the top preset second plate 42. At the same time, the spacer layer 254 and soft padding material 253, which are respectively provided on the inner surfaces of the base 251 and the top of the top preset first plate 32, are stacked on the bottom and the top preset second plate 42, respectively.This design effectively protects the pre-set first plate 32 and pre-set second plate 42 from friction, swaying, or shaking caused by external forces affecting the base 251 or top cover 252, ensuring that the surfaces of the multiple pre-set first plate 32 and multiple pre-set second plate 42 are not damaged by wear or scratches. Furthermore, a padding layer 256 can be placed between any two adjacent pre-set first plate 32 to prevent friction, swaying, or shaking between adjacent multiple pre-set first plate 32 and multiple pre-set second plate 42 caused by external forces, thus preventing wear or scratches between adjacent multiple pre-set first plate 32 and multiple pre-set second plate 42. This achieves the purpose of automatically and stably stacking multiple pre-set plates, reducing friction between them, improving the yield of the multiple pre-set plates, and providing advantages for subsequent processing procedures.

[0039] Furthermore, in the present invention, a preset padding layer 256 is stacked between any two adjacent preset first plates 32 stacked at the working mold 25. The preset padding layer 256 consists of an inner spacer layer 2562 sandwiched between two outer pads 2561 of insulating material [which may be plastic material (PP), etc.] to form a good spacing and padding effect. When stacking the preset first plates 32 and preset second plates 42 on the working mold 25, the preset padding layer 256 can be stacked between any two adjacent preset first plates 32 by manual operation, or it can be stacked using a transfer mechanism 1. 1. The preset padding layer 256 is stacked between any two adjacent preset first plates 32. The above-mentioned operation mode of stacking the preset padding layer 256 between any two adjacent preset first plates 32 can be achieved by manual operation or automatic operation by the transfer mechanism 11. The manual operation or automatic operation mode can be adjusted according to the actual operation situation, and can effectively avoid friction, swinging or shaking between adjacent multiple preset first plates 32 and multiple preset second plates 42, ensuring that the multiple preset first plates 32 and multiple preset second plates 42 have a stable stacking effect.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any simple modifications and equivalent structural changes made based on the description and drawings of the present utility model should also be included in the patent scope of the present utility model.
