Abstract

The present invention relates to a fault detectable sheet body fixed distance conveying and punching assembly, which may include a rack, a conveying trough seat, a feeding trough, a processing rack and a punching device. On the rack is provided a feed motor and a feed screw. The movable feeding block is sleeved on the feed screw and the movable feeding seat is fixedly connected to the movable feeding seat. On the movable feeding seat is provided a feed lifting cylinder and on the feed lifting cylinder is provided a feed lifting block. On the feed lifting cylinder are equally provided feed blocks which may go through the feeding trough. On the processing rack is also provided a position detecting device which may include a detecting lifting cylinder provided on the processing rack. Under the detecting lifting cylinder is connected the detecting block. On the both sides of the detecting block is provided an acoustic wave range finder. The present invention includes a position detecting device, which may measure the position of the feeding block on the processing station by lifting the acoustic wave range finders on the position detecting device, and conduct integrity check to the fixed distance feeding part and maintain the entire assembly.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fault detectable sheet body fixed distance conveying and punching assembly, comprising:
a frame and a conveying trough seat disposed upon said frame;
a feed trough disposed at a middle portion of said conveying trough seat; and
a processing rack disposed upon said conveying trough seat;
wherein said processing rack is sequentially provided with a punching device comprising a punching head located at a punching station and a grinding device comprising a grinding head located at a grinding station, said punching device and said grinding device matching with a sheet body for punching and grinding a sheet body which is disposed at said punching and grinding stations;
wherein said frame has a feed motor mounted thereon for driving a feed screw, said feed screw is sleeved within at least one movable feed block such that when said feed motor drives said feed screw, said at least one movable feed block moves along said frame;
wherein said at least one movable feed block has a movable feed seat mounted upon said at least one movable feed block so as to be movable with said at least one movable feed block as said at least one movable feed block moves along said frame, said movable feed seat is provided with at least one feed lift cylinder, and said at least one feed lift cylinder is connected to a feed lift block;
a plurality of feed blocks are movably mounted upon said feed lift block so as to be movable within said feed trough;
a position detecting device comprises a detecting lifting cylinder mounted upon said processing rack, a detecting block is fixedly mounted upon a lower end portion of said detecting lifting cylinder and is located on one side of said plurality of feed blocks; and
at least one acoustic wave range finder mounted upon said detecting block so as to accurately determine the location of any one of said plurality of feed blocks disposed upon said feed lift block.

2. The fault detectable sheet body fixed distance conveying and punching assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
a width dimension of said detecting block is greater than a width dimension of said feed trough;
a first pair of contact sensors are disposed upon lower end portions of said detecting block for operatively cooperating with said conveying trough seat; and
said at least one acoustic wave range finder comprises a pair of acoustic wave range finders which are disposed upon opposite sides of said detecting block and are disposed at the same elevation upon said detecting block wherein a distance dimension defined between said pair of acoustic wave range finders and a bottom portion of said detecting block is less than a thickness dimension of said sheet body to be punched.

3. The fault detectable sheet body fixed distance conveying and punching assembly of claim 2 , wherein:
each one of said plurality of feed blocks movably mounted upon said feed lift block has an L-shaped configuration wherein a length dimension of a horizontal portion of each one of said plurality of feed blocks movably mounted upon said feed lift block is consistent with a length dimension of said sheet body;
wherein one of said plurality of feed blocks located at said punching station and movably mounted upon said feed lift block is provided with a discharge opening which is adapted to be aligned with a portion of said sheet body to be punched at said punching station;
a collection port is defined within said feed lift block and is connected with said discharge opening defined within said one of said plurality of feed blocks movably mounted upon said feed lift block; and
a collection assembly is fixedly mounted upon said movable feed seat and is in communication with said collection port.

4. The fault detectable sheet body fixed distance conveying and punching assembly of claim 3 , wherein:
said detecting block comprises a right-angled block wherein a horizontal portion of said detecting block is disposed in contact with an upper end of a vertical portion of one of said plurality of feed blocks movably mounted upon said feed lift block; and
a second pair of contact sensors are interposed between said detecting block and one of said plurality of L-shaped feed blocks movably mounted upon said feed lift block at the location wherein said horizontal portion of said detecting block is disposed in contact with said upper end of said vertical portion of said one of said plurality of L-shaped feed blocks movably mounted upon said feed lift block.

5. The fault detectable sheet body fixed distance conveying and punching assembly of claim 3 , wherein:
said punching device comprises a punching cylinder mounted upon said processing rack, wherein a lower end portion of said punching cylinder is connected to a punching pressing block which is adapted to retain said sheet body upon said one of said plurality of feed blocks disposed at said punching station;
a punching mounting slot is defined within a lower end portion of said punching pressing block and is coaxial with said discharge opening defined within said one of said plurality of feed blocks disposed at said punching station; and
a punching head is disposed within said punching mounting slot of said punching pressing block for punching said sheet body disposed upon said one of said plurality of feed blocks disposed at said punching station.

6. The fault detectable sheet body fixed distance conveying and punching assembly of claim 5 , wherein:
said punching head comprises a punching lifting cylinder disposed within said punching mounting slot;
a rotary punching motor is operatively connected to a lower end portion of said punching lifting cylinder;
a lower end portion of said rotary punching motor ( 34 ) is operatively connected to a punching bit; and
a lower end portion of said punching bit comprises an annular cutter.

7. The fault detectable sheet body fixed distance conveying and punching assembly of claim 3 , wherein:
said collection assembly comprises a collecting frame disposed upon said movable feed seat;
a material blocking frame annularly surrounds an upper portion of said collecting frame and is adapted to move upwardly and downwardly;
a first pair of side boards of said material blocking frame comprise vertical plates, as do a second pair of side boards of said material blocking frame, and an upper board of said material blocking frame comprises a slanted plate which is angled outwardly and upwardly;
a pair of collecting frame fixing blocks are fixedly mounted upon said movable feed seat so as to retain said collecting frame upon said movable feed seat;
