Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of capacitor automation production, in particular to a disc unpacking and feeding device. Background Art

[0002] For the production of capacitors, the existing sorting and feeding devices mainly use a vibration plate to feed small capacitors, but for large capacitors, due to their heavy weight, the noise generated by their vibration is also large. Most importantly, during the vibration of large capacitors, their pins are prone to bend and deform, seriously affecting their appearance and use. For this reason, existing large capacitors are generally sorted and fed manually, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. Summary of the invention

[0003] The invention aims to provide a tray-unwinding and loading device to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.

[0004] The tray unpacking and feeding equipment according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises:

[0005] A frame, which is provided with a placement platform, the placement platform is used to hold a material tray on which workpieces and pads are arranged, the frame is provided with a material pushing mechanism above the placement platform, and the material pushing mechanism is provided with a push rod moving in the front-rear direction;

[0006] A conveyor belt, which is installed on the frame, the conveyor belt is located in front of the placement platform, and the conveying direction of the conveyor belt is orthogonal to the moving direction of the push rod;

[0007] A docking platform, which is docked with the material tray and the conveyor belt respectively, and the frame is provided with a push-clamp mechanism on the docking platform, and the push-clamp mechanism is provided with two clamping claws that can move in space;

[0008] A material following mechanism, which is installed on the frame, and the material following mechanism is provided with a material following block moving in the front-rear direction, and the material following block is located in front of the placing platform;

[0009] A recovery port is arranged on the frame, and the position of the recovery port corresponds to the moving path of the clamping claw.

[0010] The tray unpacking and loading equipment according to the embodiment of the invention has at least the following beneficial effects: the workpieces are placed on the tray in an arranged manner, the number of workpieces in each row is multiple, and the rows are separated by pads; when loading, the push rod of the pushing mechanism drives all the workpieces and the pads on the tray to move forward to the docking platform as a whole, and when the workpieces are pushed to the docking platform, the two clamping claws of the pushing and clamping mechanism clamp the pads in the front row and drive them to move forward to the conveyor belt, and in this process, the following material block keeps synchronous movement with the clamping claw under the drive of the following material mechanism, so that all the workpieces in the front row can be loaded and unloaded. The workpiece is always confined between the following material stopper and the corresponding pad strip to prevent the workpiece from tipping over when it moves to the conveyor belt. After the workpiece is pushed to the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt starts and conveys the workpiece in sequence. After the workpiece is conveyed, the two clamps lift the pad strip and move it to the recovery port for centralized recovery. Finally, the following material mechanism and the pushing and clamping mechanism reset backwards to prepare for the next loading. Compared with the prior art, the invention can realize automatic unpacking and loading of large capacitors. The setting of the following material stopper can maintain the stability of the large capacitor when it moves, effectively improve the loading quality of the large capacitor, and the degree of manual intervention is low.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a movable positioning block is provided on the docking platform. The positioning block is used to position the product so that the push-clamp mechanism can accurately clamp the pad strip located in the front row. When the push-clamp mechanism pushes the pad strip forward, the positioning block temporarily moves away from the docking platform. When the push-clamp mechanism pushes the pad strip forward to pass over the positioning block, the positioning block is reset. After that, the push rod of the pushing mechanism drives all the workpieces and the pad strip as a whole to abut against the positioning block.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, two limit plates are provided on the conveyor belt, and the two limit plates together form a single-row conveying channel, the width of the single-row conveying channel is smaller than the width of the conveyor belt, and the single-row conveying channel is located outside the moving path of the follower block. Although the width of the single-row conveying channel is smaller than the width of the conveyor belt, its width is still slightly larger than the width of the workpiece, so that the workpiece is limited in multiple degrees of freedom during the conveying process, thereby standardizing the conveying posture of each workpiece.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the invention, any of the limit plates is equipped with a telescopic mechanism, the telescopic mechanism is provided with a telescopic portion that can be extended into the single-row conveying channel, a sensor pointing to the single-row conveying channel is installed on the side of the telescopic mechanism, and the sensor is connected to the telescopic mechanism by electrical signals. When the sensor detects a workpiece, it can feed back a detection signal to the telescopic mechanism, and the telescopic mechanism then extends the telescopic portion to press the workpiece at that position and keep it in place for a period of time, during which time the conveyor belt remains started, thereby achieving equidistant conveyance of multiple workpieces.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, since both placing and taking out trays take a certain amount of time, in order to save waiting time, the placement platform is connected to the frame by sliding in the left-right direction. At least two trays are placed on the placement platform. When one of the trays is unpacked, the placement platform can be moved so that the next tray can dock with the docking platform. After that, the unpacked tray is taken out manually or electronically, and then the tray with the workpiece and the pad is placed on the placement platform again.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the tray unpacking and loading equipment further comprises a sliding drive device, and the sliding drive device is used to limit the relative position between the placement platform and the frame to achieve automatic docking between the tray and the docking platform.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in order to facilitate the recycling of the cushion strips, the recycling port is connected to a recycling box, and all the cushion strips are discharged into the recycling box through the recycling port.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in order to reduce the moving distance of the push-and-clamp mechanism, the recovery port is located in front of the conveyor belt, and the recovery port is aligned with the docking platform along the front-to-back direction. Thus, the push-and-clamp mechanism does not need to have the freedom to move left and right.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the placement platform is provided with a limit block for limiting the position of the material tray to ensure that the material tray can be accurately placed on the placement platform.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the tray is rectangular in shape, and is provided with three vertical walls. The side without the vertical walls is the front side of the tray. The frame is provided with a plate-locking mechanism, and the plate-locking mechanism is provided with movable claws, and the claws are used to buckle the vertical walls of the tray. When the claws of the plate-locking mechanism are buckled with the vertical walls of the tray, the front and rear positions of the tray are limited, and combined with the above-mentioned limit blocks, the position of the tray is temporarily fixed during the loading process.

[0020] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and in part will become apparent from the following description or will be learned through the practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] In the description of the invention, "several" means one or more, "more" means more than two, "greater than", "less than", "exceed" etc. are understood to exclude the number itself, and "above", "below", "within" etc. are understood to include the number itself. If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0032] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to the first embodiment of the invention, the unpacking and loading equipment includes a frame 100, a placement platform 200, a material pushing mechanism 300, a conveyor belt 400, a docking platform 500, a pushing and clamping mechanism 600 and a material following mechanism 700, wherein a cabinet 110 is provided at the bottom of the frame 100, and the cabinet 110 is used to store components such as drivers, controllers, and pipelines, and the upper surface of the frame 100 on the cabinet 110 is a mounting surface 120, and the placement platform 200, the material pushing mechanism 300, the conveyor belt 400, the docking platform 500, the pushing and clamping mechanism 600 and the material following mechanism 700 are all installed on the mounting surface 120.

[0034] like Figure 5As shown, the mounting surface 120 is provided with two slide rails 130 arranged in the left-right direction, and the lower bottom surface of the placement platform 200 is provided with a plurality of sliders 210 slidably connected to the two slide rails 130, so that the placement platform 200 can move left and right relative to the mounting surface 120. In order to control the left-right movement of the placement platform 200, a rack 220 is connected to the lower bottom surface of the placement platform 200, and the frame 100 is installed with a sliding drive device, which can be a sliding motor with a gear 221, wherein the sliding motor is located in the cabinet 110, and the main shaft of the sliding motor extends upward to the mounting surface 120 and is connected to a gear 221 at its end, and the gear 221 is meshed with the rack 220, so that the sliding drive device can drive the placement platform 200 to move left and right relative to the mounting surface 120.

[0035] It is understandable that the sliding drive device can also be other structures, such as a motor with a screw, a cylinder or a linear motor, and the lower bottom surface of the placement platform 200 is connected to a connecting accessory that matches the sliding drive device, without being limited to the above embodiments.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of material trays 800 are placed on the placement platform 200, and two may be selected in this embodiment. Each of the material trays 800 is rectangular in shape, and two long sides and one wide side of the material tray 800 are provided with vertical walls 810. The side without the vertical walls 810 is the front side of the material tray 800. A plurality of limit blocks 230 are provided on the placement platform 200, and the plurality of limit blocks 230 are used together to limit the left vertical wall, the right vertical wall and the rear vertical wall of the material tray 800 to ensure that the material tray 800 can be accurately placed on the placement platform 200.

[0037] The material tray 800 is used to arrange and place multiple workpieces (not shown in the drawings). If the invention is used in the electronic component industry, multiple capacitors can be arranged on the material tray 800, and the number of capacitors in each row is multiple, and the rows are separated by pads (not shown in the drawings), that is, each front and rear row of capacitors are separated by pads. The material sorting equipment of the material tray 800 can refer to the prior application CN209601380U "A New Metal Strip Conveying Mechanism". Since the improvement point of the invention is not in material sorting, the invention does not describe the material sorting equipment of the material tray 800 in detail. The material tray 800 is arranged and placed with multiple capacitors and multiple pads after being sorted by the material sorting equipment. After that, the material tray 800 with capacitors can be placed on the placement platform 200 manually or by a robot.

[0038] In addition, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to further limit the position of the material tray 800, a buckle plate mechanism 900 is installed on the mounting surface 120 of the frame 100, and the buckle plate mechanism 900 includes a buckle plate bracket 910, a buckle plate cylinder 920 and a clamping claw 930. The buckle plate bracket 910 is located at the rear side of the placement platform 200, and is fixedly connected to the buckle plate cylinder 920. The buckle plate cylinder 920 is provided with a buckle plate telescopic rod that can be telescopically extended up and down. The rear end of the clamping claw 930 is hinged to the buckle plate telescopic rod. The middle part of the claw 930 is hinged with the buckle tray bracket 910, and the front end of the claw 930 is an overhead end. When the buckle tray cylinder 920 drives the buckle tray telescopic rod to extend upward, the claw 930 is buckled with the rear wall of the material tray 800 to limit the forward and upward movement of the material tray 800. When the buckle tray cylinder 920 drives the buckle tray telescopic rod to retract downward, the claw 930 is released from the rear wall of the material tray 800 to restore some degrees of freedom of the material tray 800. Although the invention does not limit the number of the buckle tray mechanism 900, in this embodiment, the number of the buckle tray mechanism 900 can be selected as two.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the conveyor belt 400 is horizontally arranged in front of the placement platform 200, that is, the conveyor belt 400 has a conveying direction to the left or right, and at least one of the trays 800 is located opposite to the conveyor belt 400. In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 400 has a conveying direction to the left, which is used to dock with an external loader. The conveyor belt 400 is a conventional structure, which is driven by a motor to realize the leftward conveyance of the capacitor.

[0040] In addition, the docking platform 500 is located between the placement platform 200 and the conveyor belt 400, and the front and rear ends of the docking platform 500 are respectively docked to the conveyor belt 400 and the material tray 800, that is, the upper surface of the conveyor belt 400, the upper surface of the docking platform 500 and the upper surface of the material tray 800 are all on the same horizontal plane, so that the capacitor and the pad strip on the material tray 800 can be moved to the conveyor belt 400 in sequence through the docking platform 500.

[0041] In order to move the capacitor and the pad on the material tray 800 to the conveyor belt 400 , the pushing mechanism 300 is provided with two push rods 311 which can be moved forward and backward above the material tray 800 , and the two push rods 311 are located at the same front and rear position with the docking platform 500 . Specifically, the pushing mechanism 300 includes a sliding plate 310 and two first columns 320 spaced apart from each other front and back. The first column 320 located at the rear is connected to a mounting plate 330, and a gear box 340 is provided on the mounting plate 330. The gear box 340 is driven by a pushing motor 350, and the gear box 340 is connected to a lead screw 360 extending forward, and the other end of the lead screw 360 is supported by the first column 320 located at the front. The sliding plate 310 is provided with a nut block 312 threadedly connected to the lead screw 360, and two guide columns 370 are connected between the sliding plate 310 and the first column 320 located at the front, and the two guide columns 370 are parallel to the lead screw 360. The sliding plate 310 is provided with a linear bearing 313 matching the guide column 370, and the sliding plate 310 is connected to two push rods 311 extending downward. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the two push rods 311 can move in the front-to-rear direction under the drive of the pushing motor 350, so as to drive all the capacitors and pads on the material tray 800 to move forward as a whole to the docking platform 500, and since the pushing mechanism 300 is an overhead arrangement, it can avoid interference with other components.

[0042] It is understandable that the pushing mechanism 300 may also be other structures, such as a cylinder or a linear motor, and is not limited to the above embodiments.

[0043] In order to load the capacitors on the material tray 800 row by row, the push-and-clamp mechanism 600 is provided with two spatially movable clamps 631 above the docking platform 500, and the two clamps 631 are located at the same front-to-back position with the docking platform 500. Specifically, the push-and-clamp mechanism 600 includes an overhead support 610, a mobile frame 620 and a clamping assembly 630, the overhead support 610 has four second columns 611 and two beams 612 distributed in a matrix, each of the beams 612 is mounted on the front and rear second columns 611, that is, each of the beams 612 is arranged in the front-to-back direction, and the two beams 612 are slidably connected to the mobile frame 620 in the front-to-back direction, and the relative position between the beam 612 and the mobile frame 620 is defined by the front-to-back driving device 613. The clamping assembly 630 is slidably connected to the moving frame 620 in the up-down direction, and the moving frame 620 is connected to an up-down driving device 621, and the up-down driving device 621 is used to limit the relative position between the clamping assembly 630 and the moving frame 620. Since the front-back displacement accuracy of the clamping jaw 631 is relatively high, the front-back driving device 613 can be selected as a synchronous belt transmission device, and the left and right sides of the moving frame 620 are respectively connected to the transmission belts of the two synchronous belt transmission devices of synchronous transmission through toothed pressure plates (not shown in the drawings), and since the up-down displacement accuracy of the clamping jaw 631 is relatively low, the up-down driving device 621 can be selected as a cylinder.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the clamping assembly 630 includes a housing 632, two clamping cylinders 633 and two clamping claws 631, the housing 632 is connected to the upper and lower driving device 621, the two clamping cylinders 633 are provided with a clamping telescopic rod that can be telescopic to the left and right, the two clamping claws 631 are respectively connected to the two clamping telescopic rods, and the two clamping claws 631 are aligned along the left and right directions to achieve the clamping or loosening of the two clamping claws 631 in the left and right directions. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the two clamping claws 631 can move along the front-to-back direction and the up-and-down direction under the drive of the pushing and clamping mechanism 600, and the two clamping claws 631 can achieve clamping or loosening in the left and right directions to clamp the pad strip located in the front row and drive it to move forward to the conveyor belt 400, so as to push the multiple capacitors in the front row to the conveyor belt 400, and because the pushing and clamping mechanism 600 is an overhead arrangement, it can avoid interference with other components.

[0045] It is understandable that the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the push-and-clamp mechanism 600. As long as the push-and-clamp mechanism 600 can realize the forward and backward, upward and downward movement of the two clamping claws 631, and realize the clamping or loosening of the two clamping claws 631 in the left and right directions, no matter what structure the push-and-clamp mechanism 600 has, it is within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0046] Since the surface of the conveyor belt 400 is rougher than the surface of the material tray 800 or the surface of the docking platform 500, and the ratio of the height of the capacitor to its bottom area is relatively large, when the capacitor is transported from the docking platform 500 to the conveyor belt 400, it is easy to fall over at the moment of entering the conveyor belt 400. Once the capacitor falls over, manual intervention is required, otherwise it cannot be transported to the external loader. In order to completely solve the above technical problems, Figure 2 As shown, the material following mechanism 700 is provided in front of the placing platform 200, and the material following mechanism 700 is provided with a material following block 710 moving in the front-back direction, and the material following block 710 is arranged in the left-right direction, and covers the docking platform 500, and the moving path of the material following block 710 is from the docking platform 500 to the conveyor belt 400. The material following mechanism 700 can optionally use a cylinder, an electric push rod, a linear motor or other devices to drive the material following block 710 to move forward and backward.

[0047] When the capacitors are pushed to the docking platform 500 by the pushing mechanism 300, the two clamping claws 631 of the pushing and clamping mechanism 600 clamp the pads in the front row and drive them to move forward to the conveyor belt 400. During this process, the following material block 710 keeps synchronous movement with the clamping claws 631 under the drive of the following material mechanism 700, so that all the capacitors in the front row are always confined between the following material block 710 and the corresponding pads to prevent the capacitors from tipping over when moving to the conveyor belt 400. After the capacitors are pushed to the conveyor belt 400, the conveyor belt 400 starts and sequentially transports the capacitors to the external loader.

[0048] After the row of capacitors is transported, the pads need to be recycled. To this end, the mounting surface 120 of the rack 100 is provided with a recycling port 140 in front of the conveyor belt 400. The position of the recycling port 140 corresponds to the moving path of the clamping claws 631. The recycling port 140 is docked with a recycling box (not shown in the drawings) located in the cabinet 110. In this embodiment, the push-and-clamp mechanism 600 does not have the freedom to move left and right, so the recycling port 140 needs to be aligned with the docking platform 500 in the front-to-back direction, so that the two clamping claws 631 of the push-and-clamp mechanism 600 can lift the pads and move them to the recycling port 140 for centralized recycling.

[0049] In some other embodiments, if the pushing and clamping mechanism 600 has the freedom to move left and right, the recovery port 140 can also be set at other positions and is not limited to the above embodiment.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a movable positioning block 510 is provided on the docking platform 500, and the positioning block 510 is located behind the material follower block 710. The positioning block 510 is arranged along the left-right direction, and its moving path covers the docking platform 500. Specifically, the positioning block 510 is driven by a lifting mechanism or a transverse movement mechanism, and is used to position the capacitor on the docking platform 500, so that the push-clamp mechanism 600 can accurately clamp the pad strip located in the front row. When the pushing and clamping mechanism 600 performs the forward pushing action of the pad strip, the positioning block 510 is temporarily moved away from the docking platform 500 under the drive of the lifting mechanism or the transverse mechanism. When the pushing and clamping mechanism 600 pushes the pad strip forward to pass over the positioning block 510, the positioning block 510 is reset under the drive of the lifting mechanism or the transverse mechanism. After that, the push rod 311 of the pushing mechanism 300 drives all the capacitors and the pad strip as a whole to abut against the positioning block 510 forward.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the conveyor belt 400 is provided with two limit plates 410 arranged in the left and right directions, and the two limit plates 410 are arranged at intervals in front and back and together form a single-row conveying channel 401, and the single-row conveying channel 401 is located outside the moving path of the following material stopper 710, and the position of one of the limit plates 410 is aligned with the extreme forward movement position of the following material stopper 710. The width of the single-row conveying channel 401 is smaller than the width of the conveyor belt 400, but its width is still slightly larger than the width of the capacitor, so that the capacitor is limited in multiple degrees of freedom during the conveying process, thereby standardizing the conveying posture of each capacitor.

[0052] Further, any of the limit plates 410 is equipped with a telescopic mechanism 420, which can be a cylinder. The telescopic mechanism 420 is provided with a telescopic part, and the extension direction of the telescopic part points to the other limit plate 410. A sensor 430 is installed on the side of the telescopic mechanism 420, and the sensor 430 is located downstream of the telescopic mechanism 420. The sensor 430 can be an electric eye, and the sensing direction of the sensor 430 points to the other limit plate 410. The sensor 430 is connected to the telescopic mechanism 420 by electrical signals. When the sensor 430 detects a capacitor, it can feed back the detection signal to the telescopic mechanism 420, and the telescopic mechanism 420 then extends the telescopic part, compresses the capacitor at this position and stays in place for a period of time. During this period, the conveyor belt 400 remains started, thereby realizing the equidistant transportation of multiple capacitors. In addition, the sensor 430 is also used to detect the number of capacitors. When the number of capacitors detected is equal to the number of capacitors in each row, it means that all capacitors in the row have been delivered. After that, the following mechanism 700 and the pushing and clamping mechanism 600 reset backwards to prepare for the next loading.

[0053] Using the above structure, the feeding steps created by the present invention are:

[0054] 1. Place the material tray 800 equipped with capacitors and pads on the placement platform 200, and the sliding drive device moves the position of the placement platform 200 to dock the material tray 800 with the docking platform 500;

[0055] 2. The push rod 311 located behind the material tray 800 pushes all the capacitors and the pads forward under the drive of the pushing mechanism 300 until the capacitors located in the front row abut against the positioning block 510 on the docking platform 500;

[0056] 3. The positioning block 510 moves away from the docking platform 500, and then the two clamping claws 631 of the pushing and clamping mechanism 600 clamp the pad strip located in the front row and drive it to move forward to the conveyor belt 400. During this process, the following material block 710 keeps moving synchronously with the clamping claws 631 under the drive of the following material mechanism 700;

[0057] 4. When the pushing and clamping mechanism 600 pushes the cushion strip forward to pass over the positioning block 510, the positioning block 510 is reset. After that, the push rod 311 of the pushing mechanism 300 drives all the capacitors and the cushion strip as a whole to abut against the positioning block 510.

[0058] 5. After all the capacitors in the front row are conveyed to the conveyor belt 400, the conveyor belt 400 starts and conveys the capacitors to the external loader in sequence;

[0059] 6. After all the capacitors in the front row have been delivered, the two clamping claws 631 of the pushing and clamping mechanism 600 lift the pad strip and move it to the recycling port 140 for centralized recycling. Finally, the following mechanism 700 and the pushing and clamping mechanism 600 are reset backwards to prepare for the next loading.

[0060] 7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until all capacitors in the material tray 800 are loaded.

[0061] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, two trays 800 are placed on the placement platform 200. Therefore, after all the capacitors on one of the trays 800 are loaded, the pushing mechanism 300 resets backward, and then the sliding drive device drives the placement platform 200 to move left and right, so that the next tray 800 is automatically docked with the docking platform 500. After that, the tray 800 that has been unpacked can be taken out manually or by a robot, and then the tray 800 loaded with capacitors and pads can be placed back on the placement platform 200 to save waiting time for taking and placing the trays.

[0062] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
