TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automation equipment, in particular to a full-automatic hanging device for electroplated parts and a positioning method. BACKGROUND

[0002] For products that need to be electroplated, the products are generally hung on a hanger, the hanger is heavy after the products are hung, and the hanger is generally made of red copper to ensure the electroplating effect, which is even heavier, which is not conducive to the repeated taking, placing and carrying of the hanger from the production line by manual labor. Therefore, the hanger adopts a split structure, that is, the hanger is provided with a plurality of separable hanging rods, and the hanging rods are provided with a plurality of hanging branches. The manual labor only needs to take and place the hanging rods from the hanger, and then install the hanging rods back to the hanger after the products are hung on the hanging branches. The hanger is always suspended on the catenary of the electroplating line, so that the carrying problem is well solved, and the labor intensity of the manual labor is greatly reduced. However, such a way solves the problem of carrying the hanger, but it is necessary to take down the hanging rods, install the hanging rods back to the hanger after the products are hung on the hanging branches, and still need to hang the products to be electroplated on the hanging branches of the hanger by manual hanging. Such a way is low in efficiency and high in labor cost. Therefore, a device capable of automatically taking down the hanging rods, automatically positioning and hanging the products, and then installing the hanging rods back to the hanger is needed.

[0003] At the same time, the hanging branches in the hanger will be deformed to different degrees during production and use, and cannot reach the ideal state of hanging.

[0010] Preferably, the hanger fixing cylinder group comprises four groups of hanger fixing cylinders, and the hanger fixing cylinders are arranged on the upper cross frame and the lower cross frame in pairs and oppositely.

[0011] Therefore, through the upper cross frame and the lower cross frame, the hanger fixing cylinders are arranged opposite to each other, that is, a set of hanger fixing cylinders are arranged at each end of the upper cross frame, the output shafts of the two sets of hanger fixing cylinders are opposite, and after the hanger is close to the hanger fixing cylinders, pressure is applied by the two hanger fixing cylinders through the extension of the output shafts to fix the upper end of the hanger. Similarly, the hanger fixing cylinders on the lower cross frame fix the lower end of the hanger. Such a structure is simple, low in cost, and the pressure can be controlled, thereby realizing the quick fixing of the hanger.

Since one end of the clamping plate is fixedly connected to the fixed block as a fixed shaft center, and the other end is connected to the oval hole of the sliding block as a non-fixed shaft center, when the sliding block moves, the connection at the non-fixed shaft center of the clamping plate moves relatively in the oval hole, and the fixed shaft center becomes the shaft center of the clamping plate, so that the clamping plate swings, the two groups of clamping plates swing relatively, and the function of simultaneously opening or clamping the two groups of clamping plates is achieved, thereby realizing the precise and stable clamping function.

[0020] Preferably, the edge of the fixed table is provided with a blocking piece, and a wire guide plate is arranged between the rotary workbench and the feeding module and located at the side of the blocking piece.

[0021] Therefore, by providing the blocking piece at the edge of the fixed table, the electroplated workpiece that fails to be clamped and hung is blocked after being rotated to a certain angle during the rotation of the rotary workbench, and the next clamping and hanging operation is not affected, and the wire guide plate is arranged at the side of the blocking piece, so that the electroplated workpiece can return to the bin along the wire guide plate, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the operation.

Then, the six-axis robot 5 moves the hanging rod to the second feeding and sequencing module 300, and hangs the products on the other side in the same way. After the whole hanging rod is hung with products, the six-axis robot 5 puts the hanging rod full of products back on the hanger. The feeding and sequencing module 300 reciprocates to complete the hanging, until the hanging branch on the hanging rod is completely hung. Then, the six-axis robot 5 of the upper hanging robot 200 drives the mechanical clamp 6 to put the hanging rod on the hanger back on the hanger, and takes another hanging rod from the hanger to hang the electroplated parts.

7. The fully automatic hanging device for electroplated parts according to claim 6, characterized in that: The fixed platform is provided with a blocking plate at its edge, and a guide plate is provided between the rotating worktable and the feeding module, located on the side of the blocking plate.

8. A positioning method for a fully automatic electroplating part hanging device, characterized in that: The method employs the apparatus described in any one of claims 1 to 7. The apparatus uses a vision camera module on a six-axis robotic arm of the loading and sorting module to identify and position the serrated V-shaped opening of the upper hanging table. Then, it sequentially moves the products to be electroplated above the serrated V-shaped opening, aligning the product holes with the corresponding intersections of the serrated V-shaped openings. After the entire row of products is fully arranged, the six-axis robot grips the hanging rod, aligning the hanging branch with the intersection of the V-shaped openings. The hook tip of the hanging branch slowly enters the corresponding V-shaped opening, forcing the deformed hook tip to be guided by the inclined surface of the V-shaped opening and directly pushed into the intersection of the V-shaped openings. All the hook tips are separated at equal intervals, thus enabling the hanging branches to perform equidistant correction. Simultaneously, the correction cylinder drives the correction plate upwards. After the cylinder reaches its stroke, the hook tip has completely passed through the product hole, enabling the entire row of hanging branches to quickly hang the entire row of products.
