Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet material conveying technology, specifically to an automated sheet material conveying system with anti-collision function. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of sheet metal processing, such as furniture manufacturing, building decoration, and metal sheet processing, large-sized sheets (such as wood panels, metal sheets, and composite panels) are often transported to designated workstations for operations such as cutting, drilling, and edge banding. To meet the demands of automated production, the accuracy, automation level, and operational reliability of the sheet metal conveying system are crucial.
[0003] Currently, most common sheet metal conveying devices are unidirectional conveying mechanisms, such as roller conveyors or belt conveyors, which can effectively transport sheets in one direction (usually the length of the sheet, defined as the first horizontal direction). However, in actual production, it is often necessary to adjust the position of the sheets perpendicular to the conveying direction (i.e., the second horizontal direction), for example, to accurately feed the sheets into different processing stations or for precise positioning during stacking. Traditional unidirectional conveying devices are often inadequate for this purpose, usually requiring the use of overhead cranes, robotic arms, or other complex transfer equipment. This not only significantly increases the system cost and floor space but also reduces the overall conveying efficiency.
[0004] Existing technologies also include some solutions attempting to address the bidirectional conveying problem. For example, some equipment employs a longitudinal conveyor belt structure that moves along a transverse track. However, these solutions typically suffer from structural complexity, unstable movement, and low positioning accuracy. Particularly when the conveyor reaches the end of its journey in the transverse (second horizontal direction), significant impact forces are generated due to inertia. This impact not only produces severe noise and vibration, affecting the final positioning accuracy, but also causes cumulative damage to the conveyor itself and its support structure over time, posing significant safety hazards. Although some equipment incorporates simple rigid limit blocks to prevent movement, such rigid collisions cannot effectively absorb and dissipate impact energy, offering very limited cushioning and failing to fundamentally solve the problem.
[0005] While some devices incorporate simple rigid limit blocks to prevent overtravel, this rigid contact is ineffective at absorbing and dissipating impact energy, resulting in negligible cushioning. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN222348029U discloses a sheet material conveying and positioning device that uses a lifting mechanism to drive the conveyor rollers to rise and fall, thus achieving sheet material conveying and positioning. While this device can position the sheet material at a specific workstation, its structure is relatively complex and does not address the end-effector cushioning issue during lateral (Y-axis) movement of the conveying unit. When lateral movement positioning is required, this device will also face the challenge of end-effector impact.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a collision-resistant plate conveying system that is structurally sound, operates smoothly, and can effectively mitigate end-point impacts, improve positioning accuracy, and extend equipment lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to provide a collision-resistant plate conveying system with reasonable structure and stable operation, so as to effectively mitigate the impact generated when the conveying unit moves laterally to the end of the stroke, thereby improving positioning accuracy and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An automated sheet metal conveying system with anti-collision function includes a support frame; and further includes: A first transmission mechanism is configured to convey a sheet material along a first horizontal direction; A second transmission mechanism is used to support and fix the first transmission mechanism, and to drive the first transmission mechanism to move along a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction; and A traction mechanism, which is mounted on the bracket and connected to the second transmission mechanism, is used to traction the second transmission mechanism to move along the second horizontal direction; The second transmission mechanism is provided with anti-collision components at both ends in the second horizontal direction. The anti-collision components are configured to buffer or limit the movement of the second transmission mechanism to the end of its stroke in the second horizontal direction.
[0009] Furthermore, the anti-collision component includes: A collision avoidance body configured to pivotally connect to the second transmission mechanism, the collision avoidance body having a pivot portion; and An elastic member is fixed to the pivot and is capable of generating an elastic force that drives the anti-collision body back to its initial state; When the anti-collision body rotates around the pivot, the elastic force generated by the elastic member first decreases and then increases.
[0010] Furthermore, the pivot is configured to pivotally connect to the second transmission mechanism via a bearing, and the elastic member is configured as a torsion spring.
[0011] Furthermore, the first transmission mechanism includes: The primary supporting entity; A first conveying assembly, configured to be fixed to the first support body for conveying the sheet metal along the first horizontal direction, the first conveying assembly including at least one first driving roller and a plurality of first driven rollers; and A first drive assembly is configured to drive the first drive roller to rotate. The first drive component and the first active roller are configured as a first transmission mechanism so that the first drive component drives the first active roller to rotate.
[0012] Furthermore, the first transmission mechanism is configured as a worm gear mechanism, the first drive assembly includes a first drive motor, the worm of the worm gear mechanism is fixed to the output end of the first drive motor, and the worm wheel is coaxially arranged with the first drive roller.
[0013] Furthermore, the second transmission mechanism includes: A second support body, configured to support the first transmission mechanism; and A second drive assembly is configured to drive the second support body to move, the second drive assembly including a second drive motor and a second drive roller; A second transmission mechanism is provided between the second drive motor and the second active roller to drive the second active roller to move along the second horizontal direction.
[0014] Furthermore, the second drive assembly includes at least one pair of second drive rollers, the second drive rollers being configured to be fixed to a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft driving the second drive rollers to rotate so that the second support body can move along the second horizontal direction on the traction mechanism, and the second drive rollers are provided with limit portions to prevent the second drive rollers from disengaging from the traction mechanism.
[0015] Furthermore, the second transmission mechanism includes: The first pulley is configured to be fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor; A second pulley, configured to be fixedly connected to the shaft; and A belt is disposed between the first pulley and the second pulley to enable the first pulley and the second pulley to rotate synchronously.
[0016] Furthermore, the second transmission mechanism includes a driving gear and a driven gear that mesh with each other. The driving gear is fixed to the output end of the second drive motor, and the driven gear is fixed to the rotating shaft. The driving gear drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the driven gear.
[0017] Furthermore, the traction mechanism includes: A guide rail assembly comprising at least two guide rails extending along the second horizontal direction, adapted to allow the second drive roller to move along the guide rails; and A guide assembly configured to be fixedly connected to a second support body of the second transmission mechanism, the guide assembly including a guide rail extending in a second horizontal direction and a sliding member that moves along the guide rail; The sliding member is configured to be fixedly connected to the second support body via a fixing member.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes anti-collision components at both ends to achieve non-linear buffering when the second transmission mechanism moves to the end of its stroke along the second horizontal direction. This buffering is achieved through the pivoting motion of the anti-collision body and the change in elastic force (first decreasing and then increasing) of the elastic component (such as a torsion spring). This effectively absorbs and dissipates impact energy. This design significantly reduces noise and vibration generated by collisions, avoids the instantaneous impact force caused by rigid limiting, thereby protecting the second transmission mechanism, traction mechanism, and support structure, reducing cumulative damage, extending the service life of the overall equipment, and improving operational safety.
[0019] The sheet metal is conveyed along a first horizontal direction by a first transmission mechanism, while a second transmission mechanism drives the first transmission mechanism to move along a second horizontal direction. Combined with the guidance of the traction mechanism's guide rails and guiding components (such as guide tracks and sliding members), smooth and precise movement of the sheet metal in both directions within the plane is ensured. The first transmission mechanism employs a worm gear transmission mechanism with self-locking characteristics, preventing reverse drive and improving the accuracy and reliability of the conveying control. This bidirectional conveying capability allows the sheet metal to be accurately aligned with different processing stations, meeting the requirements for precise positioning and flexible scheduling in automated production.
[0020] The second transmission mechanism employs multiple drive rollers and transmission mechanisms (such as belt or gear drives), working in conjunction with the guide rail assembly of the traction mechanism to achieve smooth movement of the second support body. The pivoting connection and elastic buffer mechanism of the anti-collision assembly reduce hard collisions between components, lowering wear. The overall structure is compact, with all mechanisms working collaboratively, resulting in low operating noise and vibration, reduced need for frequent maintenance, and improved production efficiency and equipment economy.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0029] Example 1: like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the present invention provides an automated sheet material conveying system with anti-collision function. Its core design is to realize bidirectional conveying of sheet material 6 in the plane by superimposing two layers of transmission mechanisms, and a highly efficient anti-collision buffer mechanism is specially set up. It mainly includes a support 1, a first transmission mechanism 2, a second transmission mechanism 3 and a traction mechanism 4.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bracket 1 serves as the supporting skeleton of the entire system. It is usually made of welded or bolted steel sections (such as square steel and channel steel) and has sufficient strength and rigidity to bear the weight of each mechanism and plate 6 and the dynamic load during operation.
[0031] The first transmission mechanism 2 is used to convey the sheet material 6 along a first horizontal direction (i.e., the X-axis direction). It includes a first support body 21, a first conveying assembly 22, and a first drive assembly 23. The first support body 21 can be a frame structure made of steel plates and structural steel, providing a mounting base for the components. The first conveying assembly 22 is fixedly mounted on the first support body 21 and is used to directly support and convey the sheet material 6. In this embodiment, the first conveying assembly 22 includes a first driving roller 221 and multiple first driven rollers 222. These rollers are typically made of steel or rubber-coated steel drums, and their surfaces can increase the coefficient of friction to better drive the sheet material 6. The first driving roller 221 and the first driven rollers 222 are arranged parallel to each other along the first horizontal direction, and their axes all extend along a second horizontal direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction). The first drive assembly 23 is used to drive the first driving roller 221 to rotate and includes a first drive motor 231. The first drive motor 231 is connected to the first driving roller 221 via a first transmission mechanism 24. In the first transmission mechanism 2, the first conveying assembly 22 is not limited to a roller form. In an alternative, it could be a synchronous belt or flat belt mechanism driven by a motor, which would also be able to convey the sheet 6 along the first horizontal direction.
[0032] Preferably, the first transmission mechanism 24 is configured as a worm gear mechanism. The worm is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first drive motor 231, and the worm wheel is coaxially fixedly connected to the first drive roller 221. When the first drive motor 231 starts, it drives the worm to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel to rotate, thereby driving the first drive roller 221 to rotate. The worm gear mechanism has the advantages of smooth transmission, low noise, and compact structure. More importantly, it has a reverse self-locking characteristic. This means that when the first drive motor 231 stops, the gravity or external force of the plate 6 is unlikely to reverse the drive of the first drive roller 221, thus preventing the plate 6 from accidentally sliding or retracting during the conveying process and ensuring the accuracy of conveying and positioning. When the first drive roller 221 rotates, it drives the plate 6 to move through the friction between itself and the bottom of the plate 6. At the same time, the adjacent first driven roller 222 also rotates passively, together achieving the smooth conveying of the plate 6 along the first horizontal direction.
[0033] like Figure 1 or Figure 5 or Figure 6 As shown, the second transmission mechanism 3 is positioned below the first transmission mechanism 2, serving to support and fix the first transmission mechanism 2 and drive its entirety to move along a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The second transmission mechanism 3 includes a second support body 31 and a second drive assembly 32. The second support body 31 is typically also a robust frame structure, fixedly connected to the first support body 21 of the first transmission mechanism 2 by bolts or welding, thereby stably supporting the entire first transmission mechanism 2 and the plate 6 on it. The second drive assembly 32 drives the second support body 31 (along with the first transmission mechanism 2 on it) to move along the second horizontal direction. The second drive assembly 32 includes a second drive motor 321 and at least one pair of second drive rollers 322. In this embodiment, two second drive rollers 322 are arranged, along with two second driven rollers, which are respectively arranged near the four corners of the second support body 31 to ensure the stability of support and drive.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the traction mechanism 4 is mounted on the support 1 and connected to the second transmission mechanism 3, for guiding and supporting the movement of the second transmission mechanism 3 along a second horizontal direction. The traction mechanism 4 includes a guide rail assembly 41 and a guide assembly 42. The guide rail assembly 41 includes at least two guide rails 411 extending along the second horizontal direction, and the guide rail assembly 41 is mounted on the bottom of the support 1. These guide rails 411 are typically made of high-carbon steel with a hardened surface treatment, exhibiting high wear resistance. The second drive roller 322 rolls directly on the guide rails 411. The second drive roller 322 is provided with a limiting part 3221, which can be a flange or a groove, forming a fit with the side of the guide rail 411, preventing the second drive roller 322 from disengaging from the guide rail 411 during operation, thus ensuring operational safety.
[0035] The second drive motor 321 is connected to the second drive roller 322 via the second transmission mechanism 33 to drive the second support body 31 to move along the second horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the second transmission mechanism 33 includes a first pulley 331, a second pulley 332, and a belt 333. The first pulley 331 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the second drive motor 321. The second pulley 332 is fixedly mounted on a rotating shaft 323, which is rotatably supported on the second support body 31 via bearing seats. At least two second drive rollers 322 are fixedly mounted at both ends of this rotating shaft 323 (i.e., coaxial drive). The belt 333 is tensioned between the first pulley 331 and the second pulley 332. When the second drive motor 321 starts, it drives the first pulley 331 to rotate, and drives the second pulley 332 and the rotating shaft 323 to rotate together through the belt 333. This causes the second drive roller 322, which is fixed at both ends of the rotating shaft 323, to rotate, and drives the entire second transmission mechanism 3 and the first transmission mechanism 2 on it to move along the guide rail 411 (i.e., the second horizontal direction).
[0036] In another embodiment, the second transmission mechanism 33 adopts a gear transmission form. It includes a driving gear and a driven gear that mesh with each other. The driving gear is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second drive motor 321. The driven gear is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 323 that drives the second driving roller 322. When the second drive motor 321 starts, it drives the driving gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear to rotate, thereby causing the rotating shaft 323 and the second driving roller 322 on it to rotate. Gear transmission has the advantages of high transmission efficiency, compact structure, and precise transmission ratio.
[0037] To further improve the straightness and stability of the second transmission mechanism 3 during movement, the guide assembly 42 is configured to be fixedly connected to the second support body 31 of the second transmission mechanism 3. The guide assembly 42 includes a guide rail 421 extending along a second horizontal direction and a sliding member 422 movable along the guide rail 421, wherein the guide rail 421 is fixed to the top of the bracket 1. There may be one or more guide rails 421, fixedly installed on the bracket 1. The guide rail 421 is configured as a guide rail groove, and the sliding member 422 may be a slider, roller, or linear bearing, etc., adapted to slide on the guide rail 421. The sliding member 422 is fixedly connected to the second support body 31 by a fixing member 423. In this embodiment, the fixing member 423 is a fixing frame, used to support and fix the sliding member 422. When the second transmission mechanism 3 moves, the sliding member 422 slides within the guide rail 421, providing auxiliary guidance and preventing lateral overturning.
[0038] like Figure 1 or Figure 7As shown, the second transmission mechanism 3 is provided with anti-collision components 5 at both ends in the second horizontal direction. The anti-collision components 5 are configured to buffer and limit when the second transmission mechanism 3 moves to the end of its stroke in the second horizontal direction (i.e., when it approaches the end of the guide rail 411 or the preset limit point), so as to avoid rigid collision between the second transmission mechanism 3 and the bracket 1 or other fixed components.
[0039] Specifically, the anti-collision assembly 5 includes an anti-collision body 51 and an elastic member. The anti-collision body 51 is pivotally connected to the end of the second support body 31 of the second transmission mechanism 3 via its pivot portion 511. In this embodiment, the pivot portion 511 is connected to the second support body 31 via a bearing, allowing the anti-collision body 51 to rotate smoothly around the axis of the bearing. The anti-collision body 51 typically consists of a connecting arm 513 and a contact portion 512. The contact portion 512 can be wrapped with an elastic buffer material such as polyurethane or rubber to further absorb energy and reduce noise upon contact.
[0040] The elastic member is disposed on the pivot portion 511 and is used to generate a spring force that drives the anti-collision body 51 back to its initial state (typically at a specific angle to the direction of movement). In this embodiment, the elastic member is preferably a torsion spring. The torsion spring is fixed to the pivot portion 511 of the anti-collision body 51.
[0041] The working principle and unique nonlinear buffering characteristics of the anti-collision component 5 are key to this invention. In the initial state (when no collision occurs), the anti-collision body 51, under the preload torque of the torsion spring, remains at an initial position forming a specific angle with the second horizontal movement path. When the second transmission mechanism 3 moves towards the end of its stroke, and the contact portion 512 of the anti-collision body 51 contacts the bracket 1 or the end of the guide rail, the anti-collision body 51 is subjected to a force F opposite to the direction of movement. This force causes the anti-collision body 51 to begin pivoting around the pivot portion 511.
[0042] During this pivoting process, the restoring force generated by the torsion spring 521 does not increase monotonically and linearly, but exhibits a non-linear characteristic of "first decreasing and then increasing": Initial contact phase: When the contact part 512 is subjected to a reverse impact force F, the anti-collision body 51 rotates around the pivot part 511. At this time, the torsion spring 521 releases energy from the pre-tensioned state to the free state, and its reset torque decreases linearly with the increase of the rotation angle. In this phase, the torque decreases to achieve flexible buffering of the impact force, avoiding peak stress concentration caused by rigid collision.
[0043] Deep buffering phase: When the anti-collision body 51 continues to rotate beyond a certain critical angle, the torsion spring 521 begins to deform in the other direction. The torsion spring 521 enters the reverse deformation zone, and its reset torque increases with the increase of the rotation angle, with a significant increase in the torque growth rate. In this phase, a strong damping effect is generated through the nonlinear increase of torque, which causes the rotational acceleration of the anti-collision body 51 to decrease sharply, achieving efficient dissipation of kinetic energy and smooth shutdown of the transmission mechanism 3.
[0044] This "soft first, hard later" nonlinear buffering characteristic allows the anti-collision component 5 to absorb and dissipate impact energy more smoothly, greatly reducing the peak impact force, noise and vibration at the moment of collision, and effectively protecting the structural integrity of the second transmission mechanism 3, the traction mechanism 4 and the support 1.
[0045] In addition, the anti-collision component 5 may also be equipped with a sensor that can transmit a signal to the control system when the anti-collision component 5 approaches the limit point or obstacle, and the control system controls the second drive component to slow down or stop the second transmission mechanism.
[0046] This invention achieves precise, stable, and low-impact bidirectional conveying and positioning of sheet metal in a plane by combining a double-layer transmission mechanism with a unique anti-collision component, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0047] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
