For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-8 The present application provides a technical solution: a four-station shaping device, comprising: a clamping mechanism 1, a first part positioning frame 2, a shaping mechanism 3, a visual detection mechanism 4 and a second part positioning frame 5, the clamping mechanism 1 is fixedly installed on the rack, the first part positioning frame 2, the shaping mechanism 3, the visual detection mechanism 4 and the second part positioning frame 5 are equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the clamping mechanism 1, the clamping mechanism 1 comprises a protractor 11, a turntable 12 and a clamping assembly 13, the turntable 12 is fixedly installed on the output end of the protractor 11, and four clamping assemblies 13 with the same center are arranged on the turntable 12, the clamping assembly 13 comprises a first drive cylinder 131, a second drive cylinder 132, a first mounting plate 133 and a first pneumatic clamp jaw 134, the first drive cylinder 131 is fixedly installed on the turntable 12, the second drive cylinder 132 is fixedly installed on the first connecting seat 1311 of the first drive cylinder 131, the first cylinder rod of the first drive cylinder 131 is perpendicular to the second cylinder rod of the second drive cylinder 132, that is, the first drive cylinder 131 can make the second drive cylinder 132 move up and down, the second drive cylinder 132 makes the first mounting plate 133 move forward and backward, and the first drive cylinder 131 and the second drive cylinder 132 cooperate to make the first pneumatic clamp jaw 134 move in the horizontal and vertical directions. The first mounting plate 133 is fixedly installed on the second connecting seat 1321 of the second drive cylinder 132, and a plurality of first pneumatic clamp jaws 134 are arranged on the first mounting plate 133 along the length direction of the first mounting plate 133. The first pneumatic clamp jaw 134 puts the part 6 into the second part positioning frame 5, realizes the feeding, and the structure and principle of the second part positioning frame 5 are the same as those of the first part positioning frame 2.
[0042] The first part positioning frame 2 is provided with a plurality of first placement grooves 21 for positioning the parts 6. The first part positioning frame 2 below the first placement grooves 21 is provided with a first notch 22 extending from the side end face of the first part positioning frame 2 to the inside. The first notch 22 is used to avoid the clamping jaw of the first pneumatic clamping jaw 134. When the first pneumatic clamping jaw 134 clamps the part 6 in the placement groove 21, the lower clamping jaw extends into the first notch 22, and the upper clamping jaw cooperates to clamp the part 6.
[0043] The depth of the first notch 22 is greater than the width of the first placement groove 21 (at the same time, the first part positioning frame 2 on one side of the first placement groove 21 is provided with an avoidance groove corresponding to the first notch 22, which cooperates with the first notch 22 to facilitate clamping the part 6), so that the first pneumatic clamping jaw 134 can better clamp the part 6, prevent the parts from falling, and avoid collision and damage between the first pneumatic clamping jaw 134 and the first part positioning frame 2.
[0044] The shaping mechanism 3 includes a first mounting frame 31, a third cylinder 32, a shaping block 33, a first positioning seat 34, a second placement groove 35, and a second notch 36. The first mounting frame 31 is fixedly installed on the rack, and a plurality of third cylinders 32 are arranged in a straight line on the first mounting frame 31. The shaping block 33 is fixedly installed on the cylinder rod of the third cylinder 32. The first positioning seat 34 is fixedly installed on the rack, and a plurality of second placement grooves 35 corresponding to the shaping block 33 are arranged on the first positioning seat 34. The first positioning seat 34 below the second placement grooves 35 is provided with a second notch 36.
[0045] The second placement grooves 35 on the first positioning seat 34 are used to place the parts 6, and the second notch 36 has the same meaning as the first notch 22 (convenient for clamping). When the parts 6 are shaped, the third cylinder 32 controls the downward movement of the shaping block 33 to shape the parts 6 in the second placement grooves 35. After the shaping is completed, the clamping mechanism 1 clamps the parts 6 through the clamping assembly 13 and places them on the second positioning seat 44 of the visual detection mechanism 4.
[0046] The visual inspection mechanism 4 comprises a second mounting frame 41, a sliding seat 42, a visual inspection camera 43, a second positioning seat 44 and a turnover clamping assembly 45. The second mounting frame 41 is fixedly installed on the rack, and a sliding rail 411 is arranged on the second mounting frame 41 along the length direction of the second mounting frame 41. The sliding seat 42 is slidably connected to the sliding rail 411. The visual inspection camera 43 is arranged on the sliding seat 42. The second positioning seat 44 is arranged below the visual inspection camera 43. The second positioning seat 44 is provided with a plurality of third placing grooves 441. A third gap is arranged below the third placing grooves 441. The turnover clamping assembly 45 is fixedly installed on one side of the second positioning seat 44. The structure and working principle of the second positioning seat 44 are the same as those of the first positioning seat 34, and thus are not described herein again. When the part 6 is subjected to visual inspection, the visual inspection camera 43 slides along the second mounting frame 41 through the sliding seat 42, and the part 6 on the second positioning seat 44 below is detected.
[0047] The two visual inspection cameras 43 are arranged in parallel on the sliding seat 42. The two visual inspection cameras 43 can simultaneously detect two parts 6, thereby improving the detection efficiency.
[0048] The connecting base plate 421 is arranged below the sliding seat 42. The visual inspection camera 43 is fixedly installed on the connecting base plate 421. The connecting base plate 421 is provided with two parallel arranged waist type holes 422. The waist type holes 422 enable the two visual inspection cameras 43 to be arranged in different heights and staggered. Compared with the case that the two visual inspection cameras 43 are installed at the same height, the influence of the shell of the visual inspection camera 43 on the installation of the visual inspection camera 43 is effectively eliminated. The distance between the centers of the lenses of the two cameras is closer, thereby facilitating the visual inspection of a plurality of small parts (the part 6) arranged closely.
[0049] The turnover clamping assembly 45 comprises a third mounting frame 451, a fourth driving cylinder 452, a fifth driving cylinder 453, a second mounting plate 454 and a rotary finger cylinder 455. The third mounting frame 451 is fixedly installed on the rack. The fourth driving cylinder 452 is fixedly installed on the third mounting frame 451. The fifth driving cylinder 453 is fixedly installed on a fourth connecting seat 4521 of the fourth driving cylinder 452. The second mounting plate 454 is fixedly installed on a fifth connecting seat 4531 of the fifth driving cylinder 453. The second mounting plate 454 is provided with a plurality of rotary finger cylinders 455 arranged in a straight line. The rotary finger cylinder 455 moves in the horizontal and vertical directions through the fourth driving cylinder 452 and the fifth driving cylinder 453 (the principle is the same as that of the first driving cylinder 131 and the second driving cylinder 132). The turnover clamping assembly 45 clamps the part 6 on the second positioning seat 44 through the plurality of rotary finger cylinders 455. After moving upwards, the part 6 is turned over. After moving downwards, the part 6 is placed on the second positioning seat 44 again.
[0050] When the visual inspection camera 43 slides along the second mounting frame 41 away from the shaping mechanism 3 through the sliding seat 42, the front surface of the part 6 is detected; after the turnover clamping assembly 45 turns over the part 6, the back surface of the part 6 is detected in the process of returning of the visual inspection camera 43, which fully guarantees the detection effect of the part 6 and prevents the defective products from being missed.
[0051] The clamping mechanism 1 further comprises a protective cover 14 fixedly installed on the turntable 12, which effectively prevents dust from entering.
[0052] Working principle: When the shaping device works, the first part positioning frame 2, the shaping mechanism 3, the visual inspection mechanism 4 and the second part positioning frame 5 are equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the clamping mechanism 1, and the four clamping assemblies 13 on the turntable 12 correspond to the four workstations respectively. When the clamping assembly 13 transports the part 6 between the workstations, the first pneumatic clamping jaw 134 clamps the part 6, then rises and retreats, and then rotates 90 degrees under the driving of the turntable 12 to put the part 6 into the next workstation. The clamping assembly 13 can clamp multiple parts 6 at the same time (the specific number is determined by the number of the first pneumatic clamping jaw 134), and the part 6 sequentially experiences the four processes of "feeding-shaping-visual inspection-discharging", which realizes one-stop shaping and visual inspection and realizes synchronous shaping of multiple parts, effectively improving the shaping efficiency.
[0053] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
