Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutting machine feeding, specifically a plate centering and sorting device for a plate cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] When cutting the pad, a feeding device is needed to move the pad onto the conveyor belt, and then the conveyor belt gradually feeds the pad into the cutting machine for cutting. Therefore, the position of the pad on the conveyor belt needs to be matched with the cutting blade of the cutting machine; otherwise, it will affect the size of the pad after cutting and the accuracy of the cutting. Existing centering devices generally use a telescopic structure to push the pad, keeping it in the middle position on the conveyor belt. However, when the pad is offset by a large distance on the conveyor belt, it may have covered the telescopic structure. In this case, when the telescopic structure is used to push it, it cannot contact the side of the pad, thus failing to move the pad accurately and complete the centering of the pad, affecting the centering effect and reducing the accuracy of subsequent cutting. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plate centering and sorting device for a plate cutting machine. It can solve the technical problem of poor centering and sorting effect for plates with large offset distances, so that when the plate is fed onto the conveyor belt, it can be concentrated in the direction of the conveyor belt, reducing the offset distance on the conveyor belt and improving the accuracy of subsequent centering and sorting.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution: A plate centering and sorting device for a plate cutting machine includes push plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of a loading frame. The loading frame is equipped with a conveyor belt. Multiple support rollers for use with the conveyor belt are rotatably connected to the loading frame. The push plates on both sides are symmetrically located on both sides of the conveyor belt. The loading frame is equipped with telescopic rods for driving the push plates to move laterally. The push plates are equipped with baffle plates that are inclined towards the direction of the conveyor belt. The loading frame is equipped with support components for use with the push plates.

[0005] Furthermore, the longitudinal section of the pusher plate is L-shaped, and the baffle plate is located at the top of the vertical portion of the L-shape.

[0006] Furthermore, an arc-shaped transition plate is provided between the baffle plate and the push plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the pusher plate is located above the support rollers, and the width of the pusher plate is not less than the distance between two adjacent support rollers.

[0008] Furthermore, the telescopic rod is located at the bottom of the feeding frame, and the movable end of the telescopic rod is provided with a tripod, which is connected to the bottom of the push plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support plate and support wheels. The support plate is symmetrically fixed on the feeding rack, and the support wheels are symmetrically rotatably connected to the bottom of the push plate. The support wheels are in rolling contact with the support plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the edge of the push plate facing the conveyor belt is rounded.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The structure of this utility model features symmetrical push plates on both sides of the feeding rack. A telescopic rod drives the push plates to slide relative to each other, achieving centering of the pads on the conveyor belt. A baffle plate is provided on the push plate, tilted towards the conveyor belt. This structure ensures that when the pad is transferred to the conveyor belt by the feeding device, if the pad's position on the conveyor belt deviates too much, the pad will contact the baffle plate on the side of the conveyor belt. Under the action of the tilted baffle plate, the pad will slide towards the center of the conveyor belt during its descent, preventing it from falling onto the push plate. This allows the push plate to smoothly contact the side of the pad and push it towards the center of the conveyor belt when the telescopic rod drives the push plate to move, achieving accurate centering of the pad, improving the accuracy of centering and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent cutting. 2. The feeding rack is equipped with a support component that works with the push plate. This structure makes the push plate more stable when it moves laterally with the telescopic rod, and it is less likely to tilt or shake. This makes the contact position between the push plate and the edge of the pad more secure and stable, further improving the accuracy of centering and sorting. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model describes a plate centering and sorting device for a plate cutting machine. The main structure includes push plates 2 symmetrically arranged on both sides of a loading frame 1. The loading frame 1 supports the plate and is generally constructed from welded metal rods. The push plates 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the loading frame 1. A conveyor belt 3 is mounted on the loading frame 1, typically using a belt conveyor structure. Specifically, a drive shaft and a driven shaft are rotatably connected at both ends of the loading frame 1 via bearings. The conveyor belt 3 is wound around the drive shaft and the driven shaft. A conveyor motor is fixed to the loading frame 1 by welding or bolts. The model and power of the conveyor motor are selected according to actual usage requirements. Meshing gears are fixed to the output shaft and drive shaft of the conveyor motor by welding or bolts. This system drives the rotation of the drive shaft, thereby driving the movement of the conveyor belt 3. Multiple support rollers 4, used in conjunction with the conveyor belt 3, are rotatably connected to the loading rack 1. The two ends of the support rollers 4 are rotatably connected to the loading rack 1 via bearings. The support rollers 4 are located between the upper and lower sides of the conveyor belt 3, providing rotational support for the upper suspended position of the conveyor belt 3, ensuring the stability of the conveyor belt 3 in conveying the pads. The push plates 2 on both sides are symmetrically located on both sides of the conveyor belt 3, allowing the push plates 2 to move relative to each other and push the pads towards the center of the conveyor belt 3, achieving centering and alignment of the pads. The loading rack 1 is equipped with a telescopic rod 5 that drives the push plates 2 to move laterally. The telescopic rod 5 can be either an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, as is available in existing technology. When using an electric cylinder, it is connected to the mains power supply via a wire. When using a pneumatic cylinder, an air pump is required to provide compressed air for the cylinder's extension and retraction. The push plate 2 is connected to the movable end of the telescopic rod 5. This structure uses the telescopic rods 5 on both sides to drive the push plate 2 to move synchronously relative to each other. After contacting the side of the pad, it drives the pad to move towards the center of the conveyor belt 3. The positions of the push plates 2 after movement are relatively fixed, so the offset pad can be pushed to the designated position, achieving accurate centering of the pad and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent cutting. A baffle plate 6 is fixed on the push plate 2 by welding or integral molding. The baffle plate 6 is inclined towards the conveyor belt 3, and specifically, the height of the baffle plate 6 near the conveyor belt 3 is lower than that of the far end. The height of the pad from one end of the conveyor belt 3 is such that, during the process of the pad being transferred onto the conveyor belt 3 by the feeding structure, if the pad deviates a large distance, it will contact the inclined baffle 6 below as it falls onto the conveyor belt 3. Under the action of the inclined baffle 6, the falling pad will be deflected towards the conveyor belt 3 before falling onto it, thus preventing the pad from deviating too far when it falls onto the conveyor belt 3. This ensures that the pad will not cover the top of the push plate 2 after falling. Therefore, when the push plate 2 is driven to move later using the telescopic rod 5, the push plate 2 can accurately contact the side of the pad before moving, making the centering and alignment of the pad more accurate. The feeding rack 1 is equipped with a support assembly that works in conjunction with the push plate 2.The support components make the push plate 2 more stable during lateral movement, preventing tilting or wobbling. This ensures a closer and more stable contact between the push plate 2 and the side of the pad, further improving the accuracy and stability of the centering operation on the pad.

[0019] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the push plate 2 is L-shaped, and the baffle plate 6 is located at the top of the vertical part of the L-shape. The vertical part of the L-shape of the push plate 2 contacts the side of the pad. This structure makes the L-shape stronger and less prone to deformation. When the vertical part of the L-shape contacts the side of the pad and pushes it, the contact surface can completely cover the thickness range of the side of the pad, ensuring the stability of the contact surface and further improving the stability during centering operation.

[0020] Preferred, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The baffle plate 6 and the push plate 2 are fixed with an arc-shaped transition plate 7 by welding or integral molding. The arc-shaped transition plate 7 makes the contact position between the pad and the baffle plate 6 more gentle, without sharp corners, and is less likely to scratch the pad, thus ensuring the integrity of the pad.

[0021] Preferably, the push plate 2 is located above the support roller 4, so that the push plate 2 can make more accurate contact with the side of the pad above the support roller 4. The width of the push plate 2 is not less than the distance between two adjacent support rollers 4. This structure makes the contact area between the push plate 2 and the side of the pad larger, thereby providing greater thrust to the pad and further improving the centering effect.

[0022] Preferably, the telescopic rod 5 is fixed to the bottom of the feeding rack 1 by welding or bolting, so that the telescopic rod 5 is not exposed on the top of the feeding rack 1, avoiding interference with the feeding movement of the pad plate. The movable end of the telescopic rod 5 is fixed to a tripod 8 by welding or bolting. The movable end of the telescopic rod 5 is connected to one right-angle side of the tripod 8, and the other right-angle side of the tripod 8 is fixed to the bottom of the push plate 2 by welding or bolting. This structure uses the tripod 8 to connect the movable end of the telescopic rod 5 and the push plate 2, ensuring the firmness of the connection structure, so that the telescopic rod 5 drives the push plate 2 to move laterally more stably and accurately.

[0023] Preferably, the support assembly includes a support plate 9 and support wheels 10. The support plate 9 is symmetrically fixed to the loading rack 1 by welding or bolts. The support wheels 10 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the bottom of the push plate 2 by bearings. The support wheels 10 and the support plate 9 are in rolling contact. This structure allows the support wheels 10 at the bottom of the push plate 2 to roll on the support plate 9 when the push plate 2 moves laterally. When the width of the push plate 2 is large, the support wheels 10 on both sides can support the push plate 2, making the structure of the push plate 2 more stable when it moves laterally. This avoids the push plate 2 bending and contacting the support roller 4 below, thus preventing movement interference with the support roller 4. At the same time, it ensures the stability of the contact position between the push plate 2 and the side of the pad, further ensuring the centering and sorting effect.

[0024] Preferably, the edge of the push plate 2 facing the conveyor belt 3 is rounded. This structure makes the corner of the push plate 2 smoother, less prone to sharp edges and burrs, further reducing the possible scratches and damage to the pad and ensuring the integrity of the pad.

[0025] Working Principle: This invention features symmetrical push plates 2 on both sides of the feeding rack 1. A telescopic rod 5 drives the push plates 2 to slide relative to each other, achieving centering of the pads on the conveyor belt 3. A baffle plate 6 is provided on the push plate 2, inclined towards the conveyor belt 3. This structure ensures that when the pad is transferred to the conveyor belt 3 by the feeding device, if the pad's position on the conveyor belt 3 deviates too much, the pad will contact the baffle plate 6 on the side of the conveyor belt 3. Under the action of the inclined baffle plate 6, the pad will slide towards the center of the conveyor belt 3 during its descent, preventing it from falling onto the push plate 2. When the telescopic rod 5 drives the push plate 2 to move, the push plate 2 can smoothly contact the side of the pad and push the pad towards the center of the conveyor belt 3, realizing accurate centering of the pad, improving the accuracy of centering the pad, and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent cutting. The feeding rack 1 is equipped with a support component for use with the push plate 2. This structure makes the lateral movement of the push plate 2 more stable under the action of the support component when the telescopic rod 5 drives the push plate 2 to move laterally, and it is not easy to tilt or shake. This makes the contact position between the push plate 2 and the edge of the pad more closely and firmly fit, further improving the accuracy of centering.
