In addition, a sliding groove 26 is formed to intersect with the inlet groove 25 and is formed as a free space for the sliding operation device 400 to slide, and the air cylinder 30 is fixed to the fixing bracket 33. An installation groove 27 having a step formed on the edge of the base plate 20 is provided.

The plate supply apparatus according to the present invention configured as described above is a device for separating and conveying a forming plate 100 processed by a press (not shown) by receiving a material from a predetermined material roll, such as a conveyor device (not shown). And the like are automatically supplied to the plate discharge device 300 along the guide pole 22. When the molding plate 100 stacked as described above is replaced with the above-described material roll or the operation of the press is stopped, the assembly line for assembling the molding plate 100 is temporarily suspended due to the unsupply of the molding plate 100. Will stop. Therefore, the plate feeder automatically feeds the forming plate 100 loaded in advance at the time of material roll replacement and press pause.

As described above, the plate feeding device is stacked along the guide poles 22 to the plate discharge device 300 supplied from the separating and conveying device. As shown in FIG. 2, three sets of the plate discharging device 300 are installed on the base plate 20. However, the plate discharging device 300 may be installed in various ways according to the size of the line, the type of the forming plate 100, etc. The one shown in FIG. 2 is one embodiment, but is not limited thereto. And when the forming plate 100 is stacked on the plate discharge device 300 as described above to replace the material roll, or when the press does not operate, the plate feeder is operated.

The operation of the plate feeder will be described in more detail with reference to the plan view of the plate feeder shown in FIGS.

As the air cylinder 30 is driven, the sliding plate 423 is operated by the cylinder rod 31 of the air cylinder 30. The sliding plate 423 is installed outside the first seating unit 320 and the second seating unit 350 to support a plurality of roller brackets 422 on which the rollers 421 are mounted. Each of the sliding plates 423 installed on the first and second seating parts 320 and 350 is connected by the stay plate 460. Therefore, the plate discharge device 300 including the first and second seating portions 320 and 350 may be operated at the same time by one air cylinder 30.

In addition, since the first and second seating portions 320 and 350 of the plate discharge device 300 are installed to face each other and symmetrically with respect to the molding plate 100, the roller 421 of the sliding actuator 400 is provided. Positions are different from the positions of the first and second seating portions 320 and 350, respectively. That is, when the sliding actuator 400 installed in the first seat 320 moves forward, the sliding actuator 400 installed in the second seat 350 moves backward. This is possible because the first and second seating portions 320 and 350 are opposite to and symmetrical with each other as described above. This is because the roller 421 slides the first passage 321 and the second passage 331 and simultaneously operates the upper and lower separators 322 and 333.

In particular, the first passage 321 of the lower separator 322 and the second passage 331 of the upper separator 333 are formed to be opposite to each other based on the first and second slopes 304 and 309. . Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the operations of the upper separator 333 and the lower separator 322 are made to be opposite to each other, and thus the opening and closing of the lower separator 322 and the upper separator 333 are reversed. . That is, as shown in FIG. 6, when the lower separator 322 moves toward the forming plate 100, the upper separator 333 moves to the outside of the forming plate 100. Therefore, the first protrusion 302 of the lower separator 322 supports the edge of the forming plate 100.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7, when the upper and lower separators 333 and 322 operate opposite to those of FIG. 6, one forming plate 100 is removed from the lower separator 322 by the base plate 20. The second protrusion 307 of the upper separator 333 is discharged to the lower side, and the edge of the other forming plate 100 installed on the upper portion of the lower separator 322 is supported. Therefore, while repeating the above operation, the forming plate 100 is discharged to the lower portion of the base plate 20.

Plate feeder according to the present invention as described above has the following effects.

First, when the material roll for supplying the material of the forming plate is replaced, or when the press for processing the forming plate does not operate, the forming plate is automatically assembled using a plate feeder loaded with the forming plate. Can be supplied immediately to the line. Therefore, continuous operation is possible without interruption of work, and since the forming plate can be automatically supplied, the production time can be shortened and the assembly of the forming plate can be effectively performed.

Second, since the opposite operation can be performed simultaneously with a single air cylinder, the manufacturing cost is reduced due to the reduction of the driving unit, the device can be simplified as well as the electric control, and the size of the device can be reduced.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible.

Therefore, the true scope of protection of the present invention should be defined only by the appended claims.
