Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material packaging, and in particular to a fully automatic intelligent rack insertion device. Background Art

[0002] 3C products are usually placed on the front and back covers of mobile phones and the front covers of small tablets. The materials used to make 3C products are mostly fragile glass, microcrystalline glass, sapphire, ceramics and other materials. Extra care must be taken when transferring 3C products. Mobile phone glass, watch glass, display glass and other various glasses or glass-like products need to be sorted and placed on the product line. Therefore, mechanisms for transferring 3C products and such fragile products have emerged.

[0003] Most of the existing equipment used for transferring 3C products are like the glass panel transfer tool disclosed in the Chinese patent with announcement number CN205222053U, which was announced on May 11, 2016. The tool includes a shell, an air blower and a suction cup. A partition is provided in the shell, the part of the shell above the partition is a hard plate, and the part below the partition is a soft plate with pleats. The shell has a bottom cover connected to the soft plate, and a through-hole is provided on the bottom cover for the suction cup to extend out, and a rotating cover for opening and closing the through-hole is provided at the through-hole. The air blower is provided in the shell, above the partition, and the suction cup is provided in the shell, below the partition and supported by a bracket. The suction cup is connected to the air blower through an air pipe. When the tool is working, the soft plate part of the shell is compressed to expose the suction cup. When the tool is not working, the soft plate part of the shell is retracted to hide the suction cup in the shell.

[0004] While the aforementioned patent enables the non-destructive transfer of 3C products, its range of motion is narrow, limiting the transfer distance. Consequently, product placement in racks for products like 3C glass and composite panels is still primarily done manually or using standalone rack placement machines. This results in low production efficiency and prevents the automation and intelligentization of production lines. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments; the technical features designed in different implementation modes of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that all terms used in the present invention (including technical terms and scientific terms) have the same meanings as those generally understood by ordinary technicians in the field to which the present invention belongs, and should not be understood as limiting the present invention; it should be further understood that the terms used in the present invention should be understood to have meanings consistent with the meanings of these terms in the context of this specification and in the relevant fields, and should not be understood in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless explicitly defined as such in the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a fully automatic intelligent rack insertion device, including a positioning component arranged between a feeding component and a transplanting component; the feeding component is connected with the previous process to arrange and transmit materials to the positioning component; the positioning component is used to absorb the materials and correct their positions; the transplanting component is arranged on the workbench 10 through the transplanting mounting frame 11, and the transplanting component includes a multi-axis robotic arm and a flipping mechanism arranged on the multi-axis robotic arm; the flipping mechanism is used to absorb the materials and drive their angle flipping, and under the drive of the multi-axis robotic arm, the materials are placed in the corresponding material rack 60 according to specifications and types.

[0037] When implementing it specifically, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the feeding component can be a belt line 20. By using the belt line 20 as the feeding component, the belt line 20 can automatically connect to the previous engraving machine process; the product material 70 can be placed on the belt line 20 after being unloaded from the engraving machine, and the belt line 20 can arrange the product material 70 at equal intervals and transmit it to the positioning component.

[0038] The positioning component can perform high-precision secondary positioning of the product material 70. The positioning component is arranged between the feeding component and the transplanting component. The transplanting component is arranged on the workbench 10 through the transplanting mounting frame 11. Preferably, the workbench 10 is arranged vertically to the feeding component, which can shorten the moving distance of the product material 70 and improve the sorting efficiency.

[0039] Specifically, the positioning assembly is fixed on the transplanting mounting frame 11 through a positioning connecting plate. The positioning connecting plate is not shown in the figure. The positioning connecting plate can be a connecting plate commonly used in the prior art to support, fix and bear the load.

[0040] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a rotating cylinder 30 is provided on the positioning connecting plate, and a suction cup mounting plate 32 is provided at the output end of the rotating cylinder 30. The shape of the suction cup mounting plate 32 can be Y-shaped, and a first suction cup 31 is provided on the two protruding parts of the suction cup mounting plate 32 to stably absorb the product material 70 on the belt line 20.

[0041] Driven by the rotating cylinder 30 , the suction cup mounting plate 32 rotates 90° relative to the belt line 20 , driving the first suction cup 31 that sucks the product material to rotate. Then, the first suction cup 31 releases the product material 70 and places it on the correction platform 33 .

[0042] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the correction platform 33 is also provided on the positioning connecting plate. The shape of the correction platform 33 can be square or rectangular. A correction cylinder 34 is also provided on the positioning connecting plate. The correction cylinder 34 is located at a corner of the correction platform 33.

[0043] A correction plate 35 is provided at the output end of the correction cylinder 34, and the correction plate 35 is at the same horizontal height as the product material 70 located on the correction platform 33; preferably, the shape of the correction plate 35 can be L-shaped, and a correction block can also be provided on the correction plate 35; driven by the correction cylinder 34, the correction plate 35 moves toward the correction platform 33, and at the same time, the product materials 70 of different specifications on the correction platform 33 are positioned at right angles, thereby realizing high-precision secondary positioning correction of the product materials 70, so that the transplanting component can transplant them into the material rack 60.

[0044] Preferably, a negative pressure sensor is further provided on the positioning connection plate, and the negative pressure sensor can monitor the suction pressure of the first suction cup 31 so as to adjust the suction pressure in time to avoid failure of the first suction cup 31 to suck the product material 70 .

[0045] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the transplanting assembly is arranged on the workbench 10 through the transplanting mounting frame 11. The transplanting assembly includes a flipping mechanism and a multi-axis robotic arm. The multi-axis robotic arm includes a transverse driving mechanism 40, a longitudinal driving mechanism 41 arranged on the transverse driving mechanism 40, and a lifting driving mechanism 42 arranged on the longitudinal driving mechanism 41. The flipping mechanism is arranged on the lifting driving mechanism 42.

[0046] Preferably, the transverse drive mechanism 40, the longitudinal drive mechanism 41 and the lifting drive mechanism 42 can be a combination of a motor and a slide rail or a combination of a motor and a lead screw; the transverse drive mechanism 40 is arranged on the workbench 10 through the transplanting mounting frame 11, the transverse drive mechanism 40 is horizontally arranged relative to the workbench 10, the transverse drive mechanism 40 is vertically arranged relative to the belt line 20, and the longitudinal drive mechanism 41 is horizontally arranged relative to the belt line 20.

[0047] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the flipping mechanism can be a flipping cylinder 50, and a second suction cup 51 is provided at the output end of the flipping cylinder 50. Under the drive of the flipping cylinder 50, the second suction cup 51 absorbs the product material 70 on the correction platform 33 and rotates it at multiple angles.

[0048] When the product material 70 is actually transplanted, the flip cylinder 50 is raised and lowered by the lifting drive mechanism 42, so that the second suction cup 51 absorbs the product material 70 that has been corrected and positioned for the second time. Then, according to the specifications of the product material 70, the product material 70 is moved to the top of the corresponding material rack 60 under the drive of the horizontal drive mechanism 40 and the longitudinal drive mechanism 41. Finally, the lifting drive mechanism 42 lowers the second suction cup 51 to release the product material 70, and the material rack 60 receives and packs the product materials 70 of different specifications.

[0049] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, at least two material racks 60 are arranged on one side of the transverse driving mechanism 40 through material rack slide rails. The horizontal height of the material rack 60 is relatively lower than the transverse driving mechanism 40. The material rack 60 can be arranged on the material rack slide rails through the material rack mounting plate. The material rack slide rails are arranged on the workbench 10 and are parallel to the transverse driving mechanism 40; the material rack mounting plate can slide on the material rack slide rails to drive the two material racks 60 to receive and pack product materials of different specifications.

[0050] Preferably, the rack device also includes a controller, which can be a common controller in the prior art, used to control the process connection of the feeding component, the positioning component and the transplanting component; the controller can be electrically connected to the display, and the relevant information processed by the controller can be displayed through the display, or relevant commands can be input to the controller through the display. The display can be a common touch screen in the prior art, which will not be repeated here.

[0051] The present invention provides a fully automatic intelligent rack insertion device, which, when actually running, Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the product material 70 can be placed on the belt line 20 after being unloaded from the engraving machine. The belt line 20 can arrange and convey the product material 70 at equal intervals. Then, driven by the rotating cylinder 30, the suction cup mounting plate 32 rotates 90° relative to the belt line 20, driving the first suction cup 31 that absorbs the product material to rotate. Then, the first suction cup 31 releases the product material 70 and places it on the correction platform 33.

[0052] When the positioning component performs secondary positioning correction on the product material 70, the correction plate 35 moves toward the correction platform 33 under the drive of the correction cylinder 34, and at the same time performs right-angle positioning on the product materials 70 of different specifications on the correction platform 33, thereby achieving high-precision secondary positioning correction of the product material 70.

[0053] Next, the flip cylinder 50 is driven by the lifting drive mechanism 42 to rise and fall, so that the second suction cup 51 absorbs the product material 70 that has been corrected and positioned for the second time. Then, according to the specifications of the product material 70, the product material 70 is driven by the horizontal drive mechanism 40 and the longitudinal drive mechanism 41 to move to the top of the corresponding material rack 60. Finally, the lifting drive mechanism 42 lowers the second suction cup 51 to release the product material 70, and the material rack 60 receives and packs product materials 70 of different specifications.

[0054] To sum up, compared with the existing technology, the present invention provides a fully automatic intelligent rack insertion device, which performs high-precision secondary positioning of materials by setting a positioning component, and then places the materials in the corresponding material racks as needed through a multi-axis robotic arm, so as to realize automated, unmanned, high-speed and high-precision classification and placement of glass and other product materials, thereby reducing the labor intensity of manual operation and improving the sorting efficiency of product materials.
