Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transfer equipment technology, and more specifically, to an automatic processing and transfer equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the times, the equipment used in production lines is becoming more and more advanced, and the coverage of automated production is getting higher and higher. As the name suggests, a production line refers to the route that a product takes during the production process. That is, from the moment the raw materials enter the production site, through a series of production activities such as processing, transportation, assembly, and inspection, the route is formed. In a complete automated production line, the use of transfer equipment is often indispensable. Transfer equipment is used to transfer products to be processed between each production line, so that the products can smoothly complete the entire processing process.

[0003] Currently, in the use of transfer equipment, a robotic arm typically picks up products and places them onto the transfer tray of the equipment. The product is then moved to the next production line, where it is picked up again by a robotic arm. Because the product is placed on the transfer tray, and the tray moves with the transfer equipment, the size and weight of the product can easily cause the tray to wobble, potentially leading to the product falling off. Furthermore, the current transfer method cannot achieve stable and effective product transfer, often significantly impacting production and failing to meet the needs of the production line. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic processing and transfer device to solve the above problems.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to represent selected embodiments of the invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example

[0026] Combination Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides an automatic processing and transfer device, including: a base 1 having a worktable 2, and a transfer mechanism disposed on the worktable 2. The transfer mechanism includes a rotating table 3, a connecting assembly, a transfer disk 4, and a power component 5. The rotating table 3 is rotatably disposed on the end face of the worktable 2 along the axial direction, and the power component 5 is engaged with the rotating table 3 to transmit power to the rotating table 3. The connecting assembly is provided with a crossbeam 6 and its associated positioning plate 7. The crossbeam 6 is placed horizontally on the outer periphery of the rotating table 3, and the positioning plate 7 is disposed on the end side of the crossbeam 6. The transfer disk 4 is detachably supported on the positioning plate 7 for transferring the finished product to be processed. The positioning plate 7 extends toward the worktable 2 to form a sliding part 8, and the worktable 2 is provided with a corresponding groove 9 suitable for the sliding part 8 to be inserted and fitted, so that the positioning plate 7 can rotate circumferentially with the rotating table 3. In addition, the positioning plate 7 is provided with a connecting part 10 toward the rotating disk, and the connecting part 10 is engaged and fitted with the transfer disk 4 to stably constrain the transfer disk 4 on the positioning plate 7.

[0027] The aforementioned automated processing and transfer equipment smoothly connects the rotating table 3 and the transfer tray 4 via a connecting assembly, thereby achieving effective transfer of the transfer tray 4. The crossbeam 6 of the connecting assembly is positioned on the outer periphery of the rotating table 3, and a positioning plate 7 is provided at the end of the crossbeam 6. This allows the transfer tray 4 to be mounted and supported on the positioning plate 7, further facilitating the transfer of the finished products to be processed on the transfer tray 4. Furthermore, the sliding part 8 of the positioning plate 7 is fitted into the sliding groove 9 on the worktable 2 to ensure the stability of the positioning plate 7 during transport. The joint part 10 of the positioning plate 7 engages with the transfer tray 4 to ensure that the transfer tray 4 is stably fixed on the positioning plate 7, thereby greatly improving the stability and efficiency of the transfer process and alleviating the transfer difficulties of products on the production line.

[0028] It should be mentioned that the crossbeam 6 and the positioning plate 7 of the connecting component are integrally formed, and the crossbeam 6 and the rotating table 3 are detachably connected by a plug-in fixing method, thereby realizing the operability of disassembly and assembly connection.

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the transfer mechanism further includes a locking assembly. The locking assembly is movably disposed on the joint 10 and is used to abut and fix the transfer tray 4 or to allow it to be unlocked. The locking assembly serves to limit and lock the transfer tray 4, thereby further improving the effective installation and fixation of the transfer tray 4 on the positioning plate 7, and thus preventing the product material from easily shaking during the transfer process.

[0030] Specifically, the locking assembly includes a lead screw 11 disposed at the bottom of the positioning plate 7, a sliding block 12 that slides with the lead screw 11, and a pressing block 13 disposed on the sliding block 12. The positioning plate 7 has a travel channel 14 suitable for the pressing block 13 to pass through and enter the joint 10. The pressing block 13 enters the joint 10 along the travel channel 14 to approach or move away from the transfer plate 4 disposed in the joint 10. Thus, the travel channel 14 defines the sliding stroke of the sliding block 12 and the pressing block 13. The pressing block 13 is detachably mounted on the sliding block 12 so that it moves in conjunction with the sliding block 12 under the reciprocating movement of the lead screw, correspondingly pressing the pressing block 13 against the transfer plate 4 located in the joint 10, thus completing the installation of the transfer plate 4. When it is necessary to remove the transfer plate 4, the pressing block 13 is moved away from the transfer plate 4 to release the locking limit on the transfer plate 4. Obviously, the walking channel 14 is provided through the positioning plate 7 to connect the joint 10 and the extrusion block 13, ensuring that the extrusion block 13 can enter the joint 10.

[0031] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the joint 10 is configured as a slotted female end, and the bottom of the transfer disk 4 is configured as a cylindrical male end 15 suitable for insertion into the slotted female end. The pressing block 13 corresponds to the side wall of the slotted female end that can move in and out, and is used to laterally press and lock the cylindrical male end 15 or to unlock it by moving away from each other. Thus, by configuring the joint 10 to be able to engage with the transfer disk 4 in a male-female insertion fit, the assembly stability between the two is greatly improved. Furthermore, the transfer disk 4 is effectively fixed on the positioning plate 7 by lateral locking.

[0032] In this embodiment, the positioning plate 7 has a bottom frustum, with the female end of the slot recessed centrally within the bottom frustum with the opening facing upwards. The lead screw 11 is horizontally positioned at the bottom of the positioning plate 7 along the diameter direction of the lower end face of the bottom frustum. The sliding part 8 is arranged to avoid contact with the lead screw 11, and the sliding part 8 is constructed as a support column eccentrically positioned at the bottom of the positioning plate 7. The slide groove 9 is a circular track that can be slidably connected to the support column. On one hand, the centrally positioned lead screw 11 and its sliding block 12 are suitable for locking the transfer disc 4 in the positive direction within the joint 10 by the pressing block 13. On the other hand, to avoid interference between the lead screw 11 and the sliding part 8, the sliding part 8 is an eccentrically positioned support column at the bottom, allowing the support column and the lead screw 11 to avoid contact. At the same time, the eccentric design of the support part on the positioning plate 7 can be ensured, and the slide groove 9 can be made larger or smaller according to the transfer requirements, flexibly designing a circular track suitable for sliding transfer.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, three crossbeams 6 and their associated positioning plates 7 are provided. The positioning plates 7 and support columns are regularly arranged on the outer periphery of the rotating table 3 to form a stable triangular sliding support. Thus, the outer periphery of the rotating table 3, through the three regularly arranged crossbeams 6, the positioning plates 7, and the support columns of the positioning plates 7, improves the stability of the transfer mechanism on the worktable 2, allowing the transfer trays 4 placed on the positioning plates 7 to flexibly and arbitrarily transfer the finished products to be processed. Even if the weight on each transfer tray 4 is inconsistent, problems such as tipping or shaking will not occur.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the periphery of the transfer tray 4 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart fastening claws 16, and the edge of the positioning plate 7 is provided with corresponding slots 17 adapted to the fastening claws 16, and the fastening claws 16 extend vertically along the positioning plate 7. Through the alignment and cooperation of the fastening claws 16 and the slots 17, the installation stability between the transfer tray 4 and the positioning plate 7 is further enhanced.

[0035] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting groove end face is formed on the transfer tray 4, and an anti-slip pad 18 suitable for the finished product to be processed is embedded in the mounting groove end face. Multiple protrusions 19 arranged in an array are formed on the upper end face of the anti-slip pad 18, and the lower end face of the anti-slip pad 18 is interlocked with the mounting groove end face. Thus, the anti-slip pad 18 is detachably mounted on the end face. During the process of the finished product to be processed moving along with the rotating table 3, frictional resistance is generated between the finished product to be processed and the anti-slip pad 18 and its protrusions 19, ensuring the safety and stability of the finished product on the transfer tray 4.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic processing and transfer equipment further includes a transfer mechanism. The transfer mechanism includes a support plate 20 disposed on one side of the workbench 2, a detachable assembly plate 21 disposed on the support plate 20, and a transfer box 22 disposed on the assembly plate 21. The transfer box 22 is used to temporarily store the transfer tray 4. Specifically, two support plates 20 are arranged opposite each other along the side of the workbench 2, and the support plates 20 are vertically provided with multiple screw connectors 23. The assembly plate 21 is screwed onto any one of the screw connectors 23 to determine the position of the transfer box 22 on the support plate 20. The transfer box 22 can further improve the overall equipment turnover efficiency, thereby ensuring continuous and uninterrupted processing and transfer.

[0037] It should be noted that the automatic processing and transfer equipment also includes a control panel 24. The control panel 24 is located on the other side of the worktable 2, and the power unit 5 is a motor vertically arranged inside the worktable 2, with the motor's output shaft connected to the rotary table 3. The control panel 24 is electrically connected to the motor and the lead screw, thus serving as the control center for the entire process, used to control the transfer of the rotary table 3 and to operate the locking mechanism.

[0038] The automatic processing and transfer equipment in this embodiment works as follows: An external mechanism moves and fixes the transfer tray 4 onto the positioning plate 7. During installation, the transfer tray 4 is initially fixed to the positioning plate 7 through the insertion and engagement of the joint 10 and the alignment of the latching claw 16 and the slot 17. Then, the control panel 24 controls the movement of the lead screw 11, which in turn drives the sliding block 12 and the pressing block 13 to abut against the transfer tray 4 on the positioning plate 7, further effectively fixing the transfer tray 4. This prevents the transfer tray 4 from shaking when the rotating table 3 moves the finished product to be processed. After the transfer tray 4 is fixed, the motor is turned on, driving the rotating table 3 to move. The rotating table 3 then moves the crossbeam 6 and the positioning plate 7, causing the transfer tray 4 to follow suit, thus completing the transfer of products on the production line.

[0039] In addition, the anti-slip mat 18 is installed on the transfer tray 4 to improve the anti-slip properties between the product and the transfer tray 4, preventing the product from slipping on the transfer tray 4. Furthermore, through the set transfer mechanism, the transfer box 22 is adjustablely positioned on the support plate 20. When the transfer trays 4 on the positioning plate 7 are full, the remaining transfer trays 4 can be placed on the transfer box 22, thereby improving the overall turnover efficiency of the equipment.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
