Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of thermos cup processing equipment, and particularly relates to an automatic loading and unloading device for thermos cups. Background Art
[0002] The production of thermos cups often requires shaping steel pipes. The pipes are placed on a rotating mold and then shaped by rollers. This shaping process is typically an assembly line operation, with products being placed onto the mold via a robotic arm. Once the products are processed, they are then transported to the next process step by the robotic arm. Traditional loading and unloading methods often involve a robotic arm positioned near the shaping equipment, performing both loading and unloading operations. Traditional robotic arms are complex and occupy a large amount of space, requiring ample operating space for each arm during operation. Robot programming is complex and requires specialized personnel. Furthermore, the loading and unloading processes of a single robotic arm can experience a significant time lag, resulting in variable overall feeding efficiency. The robotic arm picks up a product and places it on the mold. Once the product is processed, it is removed by the robotic arm, which then retrieves the next product for processing. This entire process is performed separately, resulting in low overall transport efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic loading and unloading device for thermos cups. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention designs an automatic loading and unloading device for thermos cups. Through the synchronous operation of the rotating components on the picking device and the feeding device, the picking and feeding of the product are seamlessly connected, and the overall feeding efficiency of the product is high. In addition, through the synchronous cooperation of the telescopic component and the lifting component, the clamping component can flexibly grab or place the product in three-dimensional space, and the operation is quick and reliable.
[0004] The object of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: an automatic loading and unloading device for thermos cups, comprising a body platform, a movable plate and a lifting assembly that drives the movable plate to move up and down relative to the body platform; a material picking device and a feeding device are provided on the left and right sides of the movable plate, and the material picking device and the feeding device both include a rotating assembly, a telescopic assembly and a clamping assembly; a guide column, a placement mold and a mounting plate are provided on the body platform, the lifting assembly is arranged on the mounting plate, and the rotating assembly is arranged on the movable plate, and the rotating assembly includes a first mounting seat, a first gear and a first motor, the first gear is mounted on the guide column through a bearing and rotates synchronously with the first mounting seat, and the first motor drives the first gear to rotate when working; a telescopic assembly is provided on the first mounting seat, the telescopic assembly includes a first cylinder and a guide shaft, and the end of the guide shaft is provided with a clamping assembly fixedly connected thereto, and when the first cylinder works, it drives the clamping assembly on the guide shaft close to or away from the placement mold.
[0005] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a second motor, a rotating gear, a first rack and a second mounting seat, the second motor is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate, and the rotating gear is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the second motor; the first rack is mounted in the second mounting seat and meshes with the rotating gear, and the second motor drives the rotating gear to rotate while the first rack moves up and down relative to the second mounting seat; the end of the first rack away from the second motor is fixedly connected to the movable plate, and the movement of the first rack drives the movable plate to move as well.
[0006] The second motor drives the rotating gear to rotate while it is in operation. The rotating gear drives the first gear to move up or down while it is rotating. The movement of the first rack drives the moving plate to move as it moves. The moving plate is equipped with a pick-up device and a feeder device. As the moving plate moves, it controls the synchronous raising and lowering of the clamping assembly on the pick-up device and the clamping assembly on the feeder device. As the clamping assembly on the pick-up device picks up a new product from the feed line and rises, the clamping assembly on the feeder device picks up a finished product and rises simultaneously. As the clamping assembly on the pick-up device picks up a new product and moves it down to place it on the placement mold, the clamping assembly on the feeder device picks up the finished product and places it on the discharge line.
[0007] Preferably, a guide rail is provided on the end surface of the first rack facing away from the rotating gear, and a mounting groove for accommodating the guide rail is provided in the second mounting seat, and the guide rail is arranged in the mounting groove.
[0008] By providing the mounting groove and the guide rail, the first rack can only move along the direction where the mounting groove is located, and the movement process of the first gear is more stable.
[0009] Preferably, the rotating assembly also includes a second gear and a shaft sleeve, the first motor is fixedly mounted on the movable plate, the second gear is mounted on the motor shaft of the first motor and meshes with the first gear; the first gear and the first mounting seat are connected through a shaft sleeve, one end of the shaft sleeve is fixedly connected to the first gear, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first mounting seat; the shaft sleeve is hollow and is sleeved on the guide column, and a gap is provided between the shaft sleeve and the guide column.
[0010] The rotation of the first motor drives the second gear, which in turn meshes and rotates the first gear. The rotation of the first gear also drives the shaft sleeve, which in turn drives the first mounting base relative to the guide post. The rotation of the first mounting base drives the clamping assembly around the guide post, which clamps the product toward or away from the mold. The rotating assembly on the retrieving device transfers the product from the infeed line to directly above the mold. The rotating assembly on the feeding device transfers the product from the mold to the discharge line.
[0011] Preferably, a telescopic assembly is provided on the first mounting seat, and the telescopic assembly includes first cylinders arranged in pairs, first connecting rods arranged in pairs, second connecting rods arranged in pairs, guide shafts arranged in pairs and a placement plate; a connecting shaft connecting the two first connecting rods is provided between the two first connecting rods, and each of the first connecting rods is parallel to each other and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting shaft, and the two ends of the connecting shaft are respectively fixedly connected to each first connecting rod, and the connecting shaft is installed on the first mounting seat through a bearing; the outer layer of the sleeve is provided with a mounting piece fixedly connected to it, the bottom of the cylinder body of each first cylinder is hinged to the mounting piece, the piston shaft of the first cylinder is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod, and the other end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the second connecting rod; one end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the first connecting rod through a first pin shaft, and the other end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the placement plate through a second pin shaft; the guide shaft passes through the first mounting seat and is fixedly connected to the placement plate.
[0012] When the piston shaft of the first cylinder extends, it pushes the first connecting rod to rotate relative to the connecting shaft, and the first pin disposed between the first and second connecting rods rotates synchronously relative to the connecting shaft, so that the second connecting rod, under the push of the first connecting rod, approaches the placement mold; the second connecting rod is hinged to the placement plate via a second pin, and the placement plate is fixedly connected to the guide shaft. Therefore, when the second connecting rod moves closer to the placement mold, it drives the placement plate toward the placement mold along the axis of the guide shaft; when the piston shaft of the first cylinder retracts, it pushes the first connecting rod to rotate relative to the connecting shaft, and the first pin disposed between the first and second connecting rods rotates synchronously relative to the connecting shaft, so that when the second connecting rod moves away from the placement mold, it drives the placement plate away from the placement mold along the axis of the guide shaft. The extension and contraction direction of the first cylinder piston shaft and the direction of movement of the guide shaft are not coaxial. When the first cylinder is operating, it does not interfere with the first mounting seat and drives the guide shaft to move by hinged multiple connecting rods, resulting in a compact and reliable structure.
[0013] Preferably, the two guide shafts are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the guide column and face the mold, the guide shafts are inclined at an angle to the horizontal plane, and the end of the guide shaft close to the mold is higher than the end of the guide shaft away from the mold.
[0014] The guide shaft is set with an inclination angle, so that there will be synchronous horizontal and vertical displacements during the movement of the guide shaft. According to the principle that the sum of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side, the guide shaft can move a shorter distance to transfer the product from the assembly line to the placement mold, or the product can be transferred from the placement mold to the assembly line.
[0015] Preferably, the hinged end of the first cylinder and the first connecting rod is close to the end face of the first mounting seat facing away from the placement mold; the second pin shaft is close to the end face of the first mounting seat facing the placement mold, and the second pin shaft is arranged close to the placement mold; the first pin shaft is arranged lower than the second pin shaft; when the piston shaft of the first cylinder is extended, it pushes the first connecting rod to rotate around the connecting shaft, and the first connecting rod rotates while driving the second connecting rod close to the placement mold, and the second connecting rod moves while driving the placement plate along the axial direction of the guide shaft to approach the placement mold; when the piston shaft of the first cylinder is contracted, it pushes the first connecting rod to rotate around the connecting shaft, and the first connecting rod rotates while driving the second connecting rod away from the placement mold, and the second connecting rod moves while driving the placement plate along the axial direction of the guide shaft to move away from the placement mold.
[0016] When the first cylinder is operating, the position of the connecting shaft relative to the first mounting seat remains unchanged, while the hinge point of the first and second connecting rods moves, as does the hinge point between the second connecting rod and the placement plate. The connecting shaft, first pin, and second pin are interconnected to form a triangle. Movement of the first pin drives movement of the second pin, so the first connecting rod rotates and the second connecting rod moves simultaneously. When the piston shaft of the first cylinder extends, it pushes the first connecting rod to rotate around the connecting shaft. This rotation of the first connecting rod drives the second connecting rod toward the placement mold, while the movement of the second connecting rod drives the placement plate toward the placement mold along the axis of the guide shaft. When the piston shaft of the first cylinder retracts, it pushes the first connecting rod to rotate around the connecting shaft. This rotation of the first connecting rod drives the second connecting rod away from the placement mold, while the movement of the second connecting rod drives the placement plate away from the placement mold along the axis of the guide shaft. Therefore, the telescopic assembly flexibly and conveniently drives the clamping assembly toward or away from the placement mold, thereby achieving product transfer.
[0017] Preferably, a clamping assembly is provided on the placement plate, and the clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder and clamping arms arranged in pairs on both sides of the clamping cylinder, each of the clamping arms is symmetrically arranged and the clamping end face of the clamping arm is perpendicular to the upper end face of the fuselage platform.
[0018] The clamping cylinders operate by moving the clamping arms toward or away from each other. When the two clamping arms approach, they clamp the product, and when they move away, they release the product. The clamping end faces of the clamping arms are perpendicular to the upper end face of the body platform. This ensures that the product's opening remains vertical during the clamping process, making it easier to grab or place the product.
[0019] Preferably, the movable plate is provided with a fixing assembly for clamping the product, the fixing assembly is arranged between the material picking device and the feeding device, the fixing assembly includes a lifting plate, a pressing member and a second cylinder arranged in a pair; the second cylinder is fixedly mounted on the movable plate, the lifting plate is fixedly connected to the piston shaft of the second cylinder, and the lifting plate is provided with a number of connecting columns fixedly connected thereto, and the connecting columns pass through the movable plate and extend in the direction toward the mounting plate.
[0020] Before the product is placed on the mold for processing, it needs to be fixed by a fixing component. The second cylinder drives the lifting plate downward. When the lifting plate moves downward, it will drive the clamping part close to the product on the mold, and finally the clamping part will rest against the surface of the product.
[0021] Preferably, the first motor on the material taking device and the first motor on the material feeding device rotate synchronously, and both rotate in the same direction.
[0022] In the initial default state, there is no product to be processed placed on the fuselage platform, and the entire equipment is in standby state; at this time, the lifting component controls the clamping component on the material picking device to approach the product feeding line and the clamping component faces the product on the assembly line; at the same time, the clamping component on the feeding device approaches the placement mold and faces the placement mold; then the material picking device clamps the first product to be processed, and the lifting component synchronously controls the material picking device and the feeding device to rise, and then the rotating component on the material picking device works to drive the product from a position facing away from the placement mold to a position facing the placement mold, and then the telescopic component of the material picking device works to drive the product further close to the placement mold and make the product directly above the placement mold; when the rotating component on the material picking device rotates, the rotating component on the feeding device rotates synchronously to rotate the clamping component from a position facing the placement mold to a position facing away from the placement mold. Since there is no processed product on the placement mold in the initial default state, the rotating component will drive the clamping component to idle once; then the lifting component controls the moving plate to move downward, and the material picking device places the product on the placement mold for processing. After the first product is processed, the telescopic assembly on the picker mechanism moves the clamping assembly away from the product. The rotating assembly on the picker mechanism then rotates the clamping assembly from facing the mold to facing away from it. As the rotating assembly on the picker mechanism rotates, the rotating assembly on the feeder mechanism simultaneously rotates the clamping assembly from facing away from the mold to facing it. The telescopic assembly then moves the clamping assembly to the side of the product, ready to pick up the first completed product. The lifting assembly then raises the movable plate, allowing the picker mechanism to pick up the second product to be processed, while the feeder mechanism picks up the first completed product. The rotating assemblies on the picker and feeder mechanisms then operate synchronously, with the picker mechanism placing the second product onto the mold, while the feeder mechanism places the first completed product onto the discharge line. The rotating assembly on the picker mechanism then rotates to prepare to pick up the third product to be processed, while the rotating assembly on the feeder mechanism simultaneously rotates to prepare to pick up the second completed product. This process continues in this manner, allowing the picker and feeder mechanisms to continuously and automatically load and unload products.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. The present invention transfers the product to be processed from the feeding line to the placing mold through the material taking device, and transfers the processed product from the placing mold to the discharging line through the feeding device; the material taking device grabs a product to be processed while the feeding device grabs a processed product, and while the material taking device transports the product to be processed to the placing mold, the feeding device simultaneously transports the processed product to the discharging line; the loading and unloading processes of the product are seamlessly connected, a product will be transferred away immediately after processing on the placing mold is completed, and a new product will be immediately transported to the placing mold for processing, thereby realizing sustainable automated production of products with high output efficiency.
[0025] 2. The product is moved up and down by the lifting assembly, and the product is transferred by the rotating assembly rotating around the guide column. The telescopic assembly precisely adjusts the product's proximity to or distance from the mold. Therefore, the interaction of the lifting, rotating, and telescopic assemblies enables convenient product transfer within three-dimensional space. These components are simple in structure and tightly coordinated, resulting in low production costs and effective product transfer.
[0026] 3. The telescopic assembly controls the movement of the connected clamping assembly toward or away from the mold, facilitating product clamping and rapid product transfer. The telescopic assembly uses a first cylinder to propel a guide shaft, which in turn drives the clamping assembly. The piston shaft of the first cylinder and the guide shaft are not aligned, but are driven by an articulated connecting rod. The telescopic assembly's mounting position is unaffected by interference from the guide column, eliminating the problem of product movement radially toward or away from the mold. The structure is simple and reliable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The lifting assembly 3 then controls the movable plate to rise, allowing the picker 4 to pick up the second product to be processed, while the feeder 5 picks up the first finished product. The rotating assemblies 6 on the picker 4 and feeder 5 then operate synchronously. The picker 4 places the second product to be processed onto the mold 11, while the feeder 5 places the first finished product onto the discharge line.
