Description

Technical Field

In traditional technology, the product posture is often adjusted manually to adapt to the requirements of subsequent processing. The manual method has low work efficiency and high cost.

[0003] In order to achieve automatic adjustment of material posture and save manpower, existing material posture adjustment devices have been designed. Most existing material posture adjustment devices adjust the posture of materials by clamping. For example, the material posture adjustment device disclosed in patent document CN113428635A has the following specific features: a first clamping device is set on a first fixed member to clamp the material in the initial posture; a first driving device is set on the first fixed member to drive the first clamping device and move the material from the initial posture to the intermediate posture; a second clamping device is set on the first fixed member to clamp the material in the intermediate posture; and a second driving device is set on the first fixed member to drive the second clamping device and move the material from the intermediate posture to the final posture. This adjustment device is suitable for adjusting the posture of a single part, but it cannot adjust the posture of multiple small parts simultaneously.

[0004] In response to the above problems, a material posture displacement mechanism is needed to realize the posture adjustment operation of multiple small parts simultaneously during product processing, improve the operation efficiency of material posture displacement adjustment, and meet the high-efficiency production requirements of the production line.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0021] A specific embodiment of the material posture displacement mechanism of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1-6 As shown: A material posture displacement mechanism includes a frame 1. The frame 1 includes a base plate and two side plates perpendicularly arranged opposite to the base plate. The inner sides of the two side plates are defined by their opposing directions. Conveying mechanisms are synchronously arranged on the inner sides of each side plate. Each conveying mechanism includes a stepper motor 6, a drive wheel 61, a driven wheel 62, and a conveyor belt 63. The drive wheel 61 and driven wheel 62 are mounted on the inner sides of the opposing side plates. The conveyor belt 63 is sleeved on the drive wheel 61 and driven wheel 62. The drive end of the stepper motor 6 is connected to the drive wheel 61. When the stepper motor 6 is working, it drives the conveyor belt 63 to rotate via the drive wheel 61. The motors of the two conveying mechanisms maintain consistent operating states. The conveyor belt 63 is equipped with a carrier tray 11. When the conveying mechanism is working, the carrier tray 11 moves synchronously with the conveyor belt 63. The carrier tray 11 is equipped with multiple material acupoints 111, including initial acupoints and displacement acupoints. The initial acupoints and displacement acupoints correspond one-to-one. Each initial acupoint and displacement acupoint is a group of material acupoints 111. The carrier tray 11 is equipped with multiple groups of material acupoints 111. The specific number can be set according to the specific needs of the production line processing equipment. In this embodiment, eight groups of material acupoints 111 are selected. Each group of material acupoints is arranged in two columns on the two side plates of the carrier tray 11.

[0022] The frame 1 is also equipped with a rotating mechanism, a lifting mechanism for driving the rotating mechanism to rise and fall relative to the frame 1, and a transverse mechanism for driving the rotating mechanism to move laterally relative to the frame 1. According to the material on the tray 11, the rotating mechanism, the lifting mechanism and the transverse mechanism are each provided in two sets and are distributed opposite to the two side plates.

[0023] The rotating mechanism includes a drive motor 2, pulleys 21, a synchronous belt 22, and adsorption components. Depending on the amount of material, two rotating mechanisms are each equipped with four pulleys 21 and four adsorption components. The four pulleys 21 are arranged side-by-side. The adsorption components include suction cups 24 and suction cup rods 23. One end of the suction cup rod 23 is fixed to the suction cup 24, and the other end is connected to the pulleys 21 via a connecting shaft. The pulleys 21 include a driving pulley and a driven pulley. The driving end of the drive motor 2 is connected to the driving pulley, and the driving pulley and the driven pulley 62 are connected via the synchronous belt 22. Specifically, the drive motor 2 is located in the lower middle position between the two central pulleys 21. The drive motor 2 is connected to two pulleys 21 (i.e., driving pulleys) located in the middle via a synchronous belt 22. The drive motor 2 can be a servo motor. To further ensure the stable operation of the rotating mechanism, a tensioning pulley can be set between any two adjacent pulleys 21. The synchronous belt 22 abuts against the surface of the tensioning pulley. The synchronous belt 22 between the pulleys 21 and the drive end of the drive motor 2 also abuts against the tensioning pulley. When the drive motor 2 is working, it drives the four pulleys 21 to rotate synchronously via the synchronous belt 22, which in turn drives each adsorption component to rotate synchronously. The rotating mechanism also includes a mounting plate 25, which can be "T" shaped. The drive motor 2, each pulley 21, and the adsorption components are mounted on the mounting plate 25.

[0024] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder, a fixed plate 31, and a slider plate 32. The fixed plate 31 is fixed to the outside of the side plate. The slider plate 32 is longitudinally slidably assembled relative to the fixed plate 31. The mounting plate 25 is installed on the outside of the slider plate 32. Specifically, a vertical track can be set on the outside of the fixed plate 31 and a slider 43 corresponding to the track can be set on the inside of the slider plate 32. A transition plate is fixed on the fixed plate 31. The body of the lifting cylinder is installed on the fixed plate 31. A first connecting block 33 is fixed at the bottom of the slider plate 32. The extended end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the first connecting block 33. The extension direction of the lifting cylinder is vertical.

[0025] The transverse movement mechanism includes a transverse movement cylinder, a transverse movement track 42, and a slider 43. The transverse movement cylinder body is installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 31. The transverse movement track 42 is horizontally arranged on the outside of the slider plate 32. The slider 43 is installed on the inside of the mounting plate 25. The slider 43 is slidably assembled with the transverse movement track 42. A second connecting block 41 is fixed on the vertical side of the mounting plate 25. The extended end of the transverse movement cylinder is connected to the second connecting block 41. The extension direction of the transverse movement cylinder is horizontal.

[0026] Furthermore, to facilitate the repositioning of materials, it is necessary to block the forward movement of the pallet 11 at a designated position on the frame 1. A blocking mechanism 5 is also provided between the two side plates. The blocking mechanism 5 includes a blocking fixing plate 31 and a blocking cylinder. The blocking fixing plate 31 is installed on the inner side of the side plate, and the blocking cylinder is installed on the blocking fixing plate 31. Furthermore, a blocking block can be further provided at the extended end of the blocking cylinder. When the pallet 11 is transported with the conveying mechanism, the blocking cylinder pushes the blocking block upward to block the forward movement of the pallet 11.

[0027] To further facilitate the repositioning of materials, a synchronously operating lifting mechanism is also provided on each of the two side plates. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder and a sliding lifting plate. The sliding lifting plate can be "n" shaped. The lifting cylinder is located in the recess of the sliding lifting plate. The sliding lifting plate is slidably assembled with the inner wall of the side plate. Specifically, a slide rail can be provided on the inner wall of the side plate and a slider 43 can be provided on the outer side of the sliding lifting plate. The extended end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the sliding lifting plate. When the lifting cylinder extends upward, it pushes the sliding lifting plate to slide relative to the inner wall of the side plate and lifts the carrier plate 11 upward.

[0028] The specific operation method of the material posture displacement mechanism provided by the present invention is as follows: The carrier tray 11, carrying the material, arrives at the material displacement point. At this time, the material is located in the initial cavity. The blocking mechanism 5 prevents the carrier tray 11 from moving forward. The lifting cylinder further pushes the sliding lifting plate upward, lifting the carrier tray 11 upward. The lifting cylinder starts, causing the sliding plate to slide downward relative to the fixed plate 31. This further causes the mounting plate 25 and the various adsorption components mounted on the mounting plate 25 to move downward and adsorb the material through the suction cup 24. After the suction cup 24 adsorbs the material, the lifting cylinder causes the sliding plate to move upward relative to the fixed plate 31, further causing the various adsorption components and the material to move upward. Then, the lateral movement mechanism works, and the lateral movement cylinder drives the mounting plate 25 to move laterally relative to the sliding plate. After the material is moved to the correct position (corresponding to the acupoint), the drive motor 2 starts working, causing each material to rotate synchronously at a specified angle. In this embodiment, the rotation angle is 90°. After the rotation is completed, the lifting motor 3 starts again, causing each adsorption component to descend and place the material in the corresponding acupoint. The lifting mechanism descends, and the carrier plate 11 falls back onto the conveyor belt 63. The stop cylinder descends at the same time, and the carrier plate 11 carries the material after the posture adjustment to the next processing step. This completes the synchronous posture adjustment of each material. Afterward, the lifting cylinder drives each adsorption component to rise to the initial position, and the lateral movement cylinder drives each adsorption component to move laterally back to the initial position to wait for the next set of materials.

[0029] The material posture displacement mechanism provided by this invention can realize the synchronous adjustment of the posture of multiple parts, effectively improving the material posture adjustment efficiency in the production line and meeting the high-efficiency processing requirements of materials.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
