An auxiliary processing system

Abstract

The present invention discloses an auxiliary processing system, which includes a main frame, a connecting part, a carrying part and a transporting part. During the production process, the material to be processed is placed on the transporting part through a material tray, and is moved to one side of the main frame through the movement of the transporting part. The lifting part on the transporting part drives the material tray to rise, and along with the continuous movement of the carrying part, the carrying part holds up the material tray and enters the supporting position. During the rotation of the connecting part, the carrying part holds the material tray and moves to the operating position. The processed material can follow the moving carrying part back above the waiting transporting part, and after the lifting part jacks up the material tray again, it is removed from the carrying part with the material tray, completing the processing. And this process does not require repeated transfer of materials. Moreover, when the processing is carried out under the operating arm with the carrying part, multi-station layout can be realized in a relatively small space, and at the same time, processing operations are carried out corresponding to multiple operating arms, improving the operation efficiency.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted here that the description of these implementation modes is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation to the present invention. The specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are only used to describe the exemplary embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be embodied in many alternative forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0028] As Figures 1-4 shown, an auxiliary processing system includes a main frame 1, a connecting part 2, a carrying part 3 and a loading part 4, wherein:

[0029] The main frame 1 is used to be erected under the operating arm 8, and a first space can be set on the main frame 1, that is, based on the main frame 1, through the first space at the outer shape constraint of the main frame 1, the operations carried out on the main frame 1 are completed within the first space. Without reference, other mechanical components in the processing environment are prevented from entering the first space and colliding or interfering with the components of the auxiliary processing system.

[0030] The operating arm 8 can be a robotic arm for gripping or a processing operation end for direct processing.

[0031] There are two sets of connecting parts 2, and the two sets of connecting parts 2 are arranged in parallel and are respectively rotatably connected to the main frame 1. The connecting parts 2 all complete the rotation operation within the first space.

[0032] The carrying part 3 is movably arranged between the two connecting parts 2. A supporting position for accommodating the material support 9 is provided on the carrying part 3. When the connecting part 2 rotates, a relative rotation occurs between the carrying part 3 and the connecting part 2, and at the same time, the supporting position is parallel to the horizontal plane. Specifically, the connection between the connecting part 2 and the carrying part 3 is in a relatively free connection state. During the rotation of the connecting part 2, the carrying part 3 is only pulled and moved by the connecting part 2. Under the action of the gravity of the carrying part 3, the carrying part 3 also rotates adaptively relative to the connecting part 2.

[0033] The conveying part 4 is movably arranged on one side of the main frame 1, and a lifting part 41 for driving the material tray 9 to lift is arranged on the conveying part 4. When the conveying part 4 drives the material tray 9 to rise, the material tray 9 is located in the moving path of the bearing part 3. Along with the continuous movement of the bearing part 3, the bearing part 3 lifts the material tray 9 into the supporting position.

[0034] It should be noted that the material tray 9 placed on the conveying part 4 is only in a placed state, that is, there is a relationship of support and being supported between the lifting part 41 on the conveying part 4 and the material tray 9. Under the action of gravity, the material tray 9 and the material 91 on the material tray 9 press on the lifting part 41 of the conveying part 4. After the material tray 9 rises to the moving path of the bearing part 3, since the bearing part 3 moves together with the connecting part 2, the bearing part 3 makes a circular motion around the rotation center of the connecting part 2. When the distances of the material tray 9 and the bearing part 3 from the rotation center are the same, when the bearing part 3 rotates continuously, it moves to the lower part of the material tray 9 and lifts the material tray 9 to separate from the conveying part 4, completing the lifting action of the material tray 9.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The main frame 1 is erected under the operating arm 8, and two groups of parallel and rotatable connecting parts 2 are arranged on the main frame 1. A bearing part 3 is arranged between the connecting parts 2, and a supporting position is arranged on the bearing part 3. A movable conveying part 4 is arranged on one side of the main frame 1, and a lifting part 41 is arranged on the conveying part 4. During the production process, the connecting part 2 on the main frame 1 rotates actively, and the bearing part 3 rotates together with the connecting part 2. At the same time, the material 91 to be processed is placed on the conveying part 4 through the material tray 9 and is moved to one side of the main frame 1 through the conveying part 4. Then, the lifting part 41 on the conveying part 4 drives the material tray 9 to rise. When the conveying part 4 drives the material tray 9 to rise, the material tray 9 is located in the moving path of the bearing part 3. Along with the continuous movement of the bearing part 3, the bearing part 3 lifts the material tray 9 into the supporting position. During the rotation of the connecting part 2, the bearing part 3 supports the material tray 9 and moves it to the operating position. At this time, the operating part on the upper part of the main frame 1 operates the material 91 to be processed on the material tray 9. The processed material 91 can follow the moving bearing part 3 back above the waiting conveying part 4. After the lifting part 41 jacks up the material tray 9 again, it takes the material tray 9 out of the bearing part 3, completing the processing. And this process does not require repeated transfer of the material 91. When the bearing part 3 is located under the operating arm 8 for processing, multi-station layout can be realized in a smaller space, and at the same time, processing operations can be carried out corresponding to multiple operating arms 8, improving the operating efficiency.

[0036] Further, on the basis of the above embodiments, an adjusting mechanism is provided between the bearing part 3 and the material tray 9 for fixing the material tray 9 on the bearing part 3. When there are different specifications of the material tray 9, the relative position of the material tray 9 on the bearing part 3 cannot be determined. As a result, when the operating arm 8 operates on the material 91 on the material tray 9, repositioning is required, reducing the operating efficiency. Moreover, the connection relationship between the material tray 9 itself and the bearing part 3 is unstable, and there is a risk of uncertain displacement of the material tray 9. The adjusting mechanism can maintain a stable connection relationship between the material tray 9 and the bearing part 3 and adjust the position of the material tray 9, making the placement position of the material tray 9 referential and improving the stability and efficiency of the operation process.

[0037] Further, on the basis of the above embodiments, the adjusting mechanism includes a first adjusting component. The first adjusting component includes a first driving member 51, a first push plate 52, and a first reference plate 53 provided on the bearing part 3. The first reference plate 53 is fixedly provided on one side edge of the bearing part 3. The first driving member 51 is connected to the first push plate 52 and is used to drive the first push plate 52 to approach or move away from the first reference plate 53.

[0038] After the bearing part 3 supports the material tray 9, the material tray 9 is located between the first push plate 52 and the first reference plate 53. At this time, by the operation of the first driving member 51, the first push plate 52 is driven to move towards the first reference plate 53 until the first push plate 52 and the first reference plate 53 clamp both sides of the material tray 9 to keep the material tray 9 stable and correct the position of the material tray 9 in the direction of the first push plate 52 and the first reference plate 53.

[0039] After the processing of the material 91 on the material tray 9 is completed, the first driving member 51 drives the first push plate 52 to move away from the first reference plate 53 until the first push plate 52 separates from the material tray 9, so that the material tray 9 can be lifted by the lifting part 41 and separated from the bearing part 3.

[0040] Further, on the basis of the above embodiments, the adjusting mechanism further includes a second adjusting component. The second adjusting component includes a second driving member 61, a second push plate 62, and a second reference plate 63 provided on the bearing part 3. The second reference plate 63 is fixedly provided on one side edge of the bearing part 3. The second driving member 61 is connected to the second push plate 62 and is used to drive the second push plate 62 to approach or move away from the second reference plate 63. The moving direction of the second push plate 62 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the first push plate 52.

[0041] After the carrying part 3 supports the pallet 9, the pallet 9 is located between the second push plate 62 and the second reference plate 63. At this time, by operating the second driving member 61, the second push plate 62 is driven to move towards the second reference plate 63 until the second push plate 62 and the second reference plate 63 clamp on both sides of the pallet 9 to keep the pallet 9 stable, and also correct the position of the pallet 9 in the direction of the second push plate 62 and the second reference plate 63.

[0042] After the material 91 on the pallet 9 is processed, the second driving member 61 drives the second push plate 62 to move away from the second reference plate 63 until the second push plate 62 is separated from the pallet 9, so that the pallet 9 can be lifted by the lifting part 41 and separated from the carrying part 3.

[0043] The first adjusting assembly and the second adjusting assembly can operate simultaneously to improve the efficiency of adjusting the position of the pallet 9.

[0044] Specifically, the first driving member 51 and the second driving member 61 can adopt linear push rods or cylinders.

[0045] Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, two parallel first tracks 31 are provided on the carrying part 3, and an avoidance space 32 for the lifting part 41 to pass through is provided between the two first tracks 31.

[0046] When the carrying part 4 drives the pallet 9 to rise, the pallet 9 is located in the moving path of the carrying part 3, and as the carrying part 3 continues to move, the carrying part 3 lifts the pallet 9 into the supporting position. In order to avoid interference between the carrying part 3 and the carrying part 4 or the lifting part 41, the two first tracks 31 are arranged in parallel to form an avoidance space 32 between the two first tracks 31. When the lifting part 41 lifts the pallet 9, during the movement of the carrying part 3, the avoidance space 32 moves relative to the lifting part 41. At this time, the carrying part 3 does not contact the lifting part 41, and the two first tracks 31 have already supported under the pallet 9, so that the pallet 9 can move to the carrying part 3 more stably and quickly.

[0047] Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, each connecting part 2 includes at least two support arms 21, and a plurality of carrying parts 3 are provided and are respectively installed between the opposite support arms 21 of the two connecting parts 2.

[0048] The addition of the support arms 21 enables the loading parts 3 to be arranged between the support arms 21 that are located on the two connecting parts 2 and are oppositely arranged. Each loading part 3 can carry a material carrier 9, improving the processing efficiency. In addition, when the operating arm 8 operates on the material 91 on the loading part 3 each time, the production rhythm of the connecting part 2 pausing rotation can be set, and the number of support arms 21 and loading parts 3 can be set according to this production rhythm, so as to make the single operation time of the operating arm 8 on the material 91 match the number of operating arms 8 and the rotation speed of the connecting part 2, thereby improving the efficiency of the processing operation. The parameter settings in specific use are adjusted according to the requirements of the processing operation and will not be further elaborated here.

[0049] Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, the multiple support arms 21 are circumferentially and spaced apart around the connection point of the connecting part 2 and the main frame 1, making uniform and reasonable use of the space layout and reducing the interference between each loading part 3.

[0050] Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, a third driving member 11 for driving the connecting part 2 to rotate is provided between the connecting part 2 and the main frame 1. Specifically, the third driving member 11 can be set as a servo driving motor to drive the loading part 3 to move uniformly and stably.

[0051] Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, a counterweight 7 is provided on the loading part 3 to maintain the balance state of the loading part 3.

[0052] In the actual processing process, in order to further improve the utilization rate of the working space, by adding the counterweight 7, the balance state of the loading part 3 is adjusted in advance on the loading part 3. It should be noted that on the loading part 3 with the counterweight 7 added and in a balanced state, loading the material carrier 9 and the material 91 before and after are not sufficient to change the balance state of the loading part 3.

[0053] In addition, there is also an operating condition. On the premise that there are multiple support arms 21, when the connecting part 2 rotates, there will be a moment when two groups of loading parts 3 meet at the same horizontal height, that is, one loading part 3 moves upward and the other loading part 3 moves downward. When the two loading parts 3 are at the same height and the distance between the two loading parts 3 is relatively close, there is a risk of collision. At this time, different distances can be set between the connection points of the two side edges of the loading part 3 and the connecting part 2. Under the action of the counterweight 7, the balance state of the loading part 3 is still maintained.

[0054] Further, on the basis of the above embodiments, a plurality of rollers 12 and a plurality of adjusting rods 13 are provided at the bottom of the main frame 1. One end of the adjusting rod 13 is set as a telescopic end. The overall movement operation of the main frame 1 is realized through the rollers 12. When the ground at the working position is uneven, the uneven height of the ground is eliminated by the extending distance of the adjusting rod 13 to maintain the overall balance state of the main frame 1. Specifically, the telescopic end can be set as a screw rod, and the telescopic end is displaced to the target position by rotation. A tapered portion can also be provided on the telescopic end to increase the contact area between the telescopic end and the ground and improve the support stability.
