Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet material feeding technology, and in particular to a bendable sheet material feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In industry, sheet materials are mostly stored by stacking. During processing, they are usually transported to the loading station by pallet or material box and loaded by robotic arms or other mechanisms. However, for sheet materials with flat and smooth surfaces, negative pressure or electrostatic adsorption can easily occur between adjacent sheet materials after stacking. This can lead to the problem of adjacent sheet materials sticking together and being difficult to separate during the loading process. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bending sheet feeding mechanism, which can effectively realize the sheet splitting operation of bending sheets and facilitate feeding.

[0004] The embodiments of this utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions: A bendable sheet metal feeding mechanism includes a suction cup module. The suction cup module includes an integrated plate and two suction cup assemblies mirror-image disposed on the integrated plate along a first direction.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0018] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A bendable sheet metal feeding mechanism includes a gantry frame 1, on which a vertical frame 3 is movably mounted. Specifically, a transfer frame 2 is configured between the vertical frame 3 and the gantry frame 1. The transfer frame 2 is movably mounted on the gantry frame 1 along a second direction Y via a linear module, and the vertical frame 3 is movably mounted on the transfer frame 2 along a vertical direction via a linear module. The bendable sheet metal feeding mechanism also includes a suction cup module 6 for gripping the bendable sheet metal. The suction cup module 6 includes an integrated plate 4 and two suction cup assemblies 5 mirror-imagely disposed on the integrated plate 4 along a first direction X. Each suction cup assembly 5 includes two parallel guide rods 51, which are fixedly mounted on the integrated plate 4, which is mounted on the vertical frame 3. A first limiting block 52 and an adjusting slider 53 are configured on the guide rods 51. The first limiting block 52 is fixedly mounted on the guide rod 51, and the adjusting slider 53 is slidably assembled along the axial direction of the guide rod 51. A return spring 54 is configured between the two guide rods 51; the suction cup assembly 5 also includes an adjusting rod 55, which is located between the two guide rods 51. The end of the adjusting rod 55 is rotatably connected to the corresponding adjusting slider 53, and a gripping suction cup 551 is mounted on the adjusting rod 55; a drive cylinder 56 is hinged to the integrated plate 4, and a connecting rod 552 is configured on the adjusting rod 55. The drive cylinder 56 is rotatably mounted on the connecting rod 552; the connection point between the drive cylinder 56 and the integrated plate 4 is defined as the first hinge point, and the first limiting block 52 is located between the adjusting slider 53 and the first hinge point. In this embodiment, the guide rod 51 extends along the first direction X.

[0020] In this embodiment, the bendable material is illustrated using a separator B for a flow battery as an example. Specifically, the length direction of separator B is parallel to the first direction X, and two suction cup assemblies 5, mirror-imagely arranged along the first direction X, correspond to the two ends of the length direction of separator B.

[0021] In this embodiment, the drive cylinder 56 is hinged to the integrated plate 4 via a hinge shaft N, and the first hinge point is located on the central axis of the hinge shaft N. Preferably, in this embodiment, the guide rods 51 of the two suction cup assemblies 5 of the same suction cup module 6 can be integrated, specifically as follows... Figure 2 As shown, in the first direction X, the two corresponding guide rods 51 are coaxial and integrally set, and the integral design helps to improve the rigidity of the suction cup assembly 5. Of course, in another embodiment, in the first direction X, the two corresponding guide rods 51 can also be parallel and staggered in the second direction Y.

[0022] In use, after the gripping suction cup 551 grips the partition B, the driving cylinder 56 operates, causing the adjusting rod 55 to rotate. At this time, the partition B bends. In this embodiment, the two suction cup components 5 of the suction cup module 6 operate simultaneously, so both ends of the partition B are gripped, and the partition B bends downward or upward as a whole. Therefore, the length of the partition B is shortened in the first direction X. At this time, the adjusting slider 53 slides along the guide rod 51 toward the first limiting block 52 to compensate for the shortened distance of the partition B, which can prevent the suction cup component 5 from jamming and facilitate the effective separation of the upper and lower partitions B. During this process, the return spring 54 is compressed by the adjusting slider 53 and the first limiting block 52, which is conducive to the reset of the adjusting slider 53.

[0023] It should be noted that during use, the drive cylinder 56 can extend and retract multiple times in a short period of time to better separate the two adjacent partitions B.

[0024] In this embodiment, the spatial position of the suction cup module 6 is adjusted using a linear module, thereby enabling the loading of bendable sheet metal. In another embodiment, the spatial position of the suction cup module 6 can be adjusted using a robotic arm.

[0025] In some embodiments, a blower head (not shown in the figure) is provided on the storage tray, material box, or integrated plate 4 of the bendable sheet material, with the air outlet of the blower head facing the upper area of ​​the stacked bendable sheet material. By blowing air or ionizing air towards the upper area of ​​the stacked bendable sheet material, i.e., the partition B in this embodiment, the suction cup assembly 5 facilitates the smooth separation of two adjacent partitions B.

[0026] Preferably, to improve the rigidity of the suction cup assembly 5, the two first limiting blocks 52 on the two guide rods 51 spaced apart in the second direction Y are integrally formed for the same suction cup assembly 5. In this embodiment, the two guide rods 51 of the same suction cup assembly 5 are connected by a fixing block 57.

[0027] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 552 is parallel to the adjusting rod 55, and the adjusting rod 55 is provided with an extension rod 58. The connecting rod 552 is connected to the adjusting rod 55 through the extension rod 58.

[0028] In this embodiment, a second limiting block 59 is fixedly installed on the guide rod 51, and the adjusting slider 53 is located between the first limiting block 52 and the second limiting block 59. The first limiting block 52 and the second limiting block 59 together limit the adjusting slider 53.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, an adjustment groove 553 is provided on the adjustment rod 55, and the gripping suction cup 551 is assembled in the adjustment groove 553. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the adjustment groove 553 is parallel to the axial direction of the adjustment rod 55, so as to adjust the position of the gripping suction cup 551 in the axial direction of the adjustment rod 55.

[0030] In some embodiments, the gripping suction cup 551 is a vibrating suction cup. This vibrates after gripping the partition B, further ensuring effective separation of adjacent partitions B.

[0031] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
