Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical copper busbar processing technology, and in particular to a fully automatic busbar feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the copper busbar processing industry of electrical appliance manufacturing, regardless of production scale, there are pre-processing material preparation warehouses. The structural layout of these warehouses can be either planar or multi-level. A planar material warehouse, such as the automated planar copper busbar warehouse disclosed in CN108045821A, includes an outer frame of the copper busbar warehouse, a copper busbar inbound / outbound transfer machine, a copper busbar loading / transfer machine, copper busbar storage locations, and a copper busbar outbound conveyor line. The outer frame of the copper busbar warehouse includes columns, beams, and linear guides. The copper busbar outbound conveyor line is also located within the outer frame of the copper busbar warehouse and passes through multiple copper busbar storage locations. This type of warehouse occupies a large area and is not suitable for small processing enterprises.

[0003] Automated storage systems, such as the vertical copper busbar storage system disclosed in CN115571541A, include a steel frame structure, storage trays, a copper busbar pickup elevator, a copper busbar in / out exchange platform, and a copper busbar in / out conveyor. Multiple sets of transverse guide rails are installed at intervals on both sides of the steel frame. The storage trays cooperate with the transverse guide rails via tray rollers. The copper busbar pickup elevator is installed on one side of the steel frame structure via a linear motion module, and multiple copper busbar pickup devices are installed at intervals at the bottom of the elevator. While automated storage systems can solve the problem of space occupation and represent a significant improvement over traditional planar storage systems, they require redesigning the copper busbar pickup structure, resulting in higher costs and posing economic difficulties for many small processing enterprises.

[0053] Example 1:

[0054] This embodiment provides a fully automatic busbar feeding machine, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a support frame 1, a horizontal sliding mechanism 2, a vertical sliding mechanism 3, a vacuum suction device 4, a shearing and punching device 5, a roller conveyor mechanism 6, a material cart 7, etc.; the roller conveyor mechanism 6 is installed on one side of the support frame 1, the material cart 7 is located outside the roller conveyor mechanism 6 (on the side opposite to the support frame 1), and the shearing and punching device 5 is provided at the output end of the roller conveyor mechanism 6.

[0055] For ease of description, this embodiment uses the conveying direction of the roller conveyor mechanism 6 as a reference for orientation definition. The roller conveyor mechanism 6 has the shearing and punching device 5 on one end as the left and the shearing and punching device 5 on the other end as the right. The side where the material car 7 is located is the front, and the side where the support frame 1 is located is the rear.

[0056] One or more sets of horizontal sliding mechanisms 2 are set on the support frame 1. A vertical sliding mechanism 3 is installed at the front end of each set of horizontal sliding mechanisms 2. The vacuum suction device 4 is connected to each vertical sliding mechanism 3. The vertical sliding mechanism 3 is used to drive the vacuum suction device 4 to move vertically up and down. The horizontal sliding mechanism 2 is used to drive the vacuum suction device 4 to move horizontally, so as to realize the purpose of taking material from the material cart 7 and then feeding it to the processing equipment in the early stage. Under the action of the horizontal sliding mechanism 2 and the vertical sliding mechanism 3, the vacuum suction device 4 performs the actions of taking material and feeding material.

[0057] Specifically, the supporting frame 1 includes multiple side beams, cross beams, longitudinal beams, and columns, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the left beam 1-6, the front beam 1-1, the right beam 1-5, and the rear beam 1-3 are connected end to end to form a rectangular frame structure; the left beam 1-6 and the right beam 1-5 are connected by at least two crossbeams. In this embodiment, two crossbeams are provided, namely the front crossbeam 1-2 and the rear crossbeam 1-4, which are spaced apart; the roller conveyor mechanism 6 is installed between the front beam 1-1 and the front crossbeam 1-2, and the front crossbeam 1-2 and the rear crossbeam 1-4, and the rear crossbeam 1-4 and the rear beam 1-3 are respectively connected by multiple longitudinal beams 1-7.

[0058] The rectangular frame structure has columns installed at its bottom. In this embodiment, each of the four corners of the rectangular frame structure has a side column 1-8 installed. Each side column 1-8 is spaced a certain distance apart from the center column 1-9. Adjacent columns at each end of the rectangular frame structure are connected by a lower crossbeam 1-10. Each column has a height adjustment seat 1-11 installed at its bottom. The rectangular frame structure and the columns provide support for each device.

[0059] The rectangular area formed by the front crossbeam 1-2, the right side beam 1-5, the rear side beam 1-3, and the left side beam 1-6 is flattened by the cover plate 1-12 so that the horizontal sliding mechanism 2 can be installed on the support frame 1.

[0060] In this embodiment, two sets of horizontal sliding mechanisms 2 are provided, namely the left horizontal sliding mechanism 2-2 and the right horizontal sliding mechanism 2-1. The left horizontal sliding mechanism 2-2 and the right horizontal sliding mechanism 2-1 are connected by the front cross brace 2-3 and the rear cross brace 2-7, and the two are connected to the horizontal transmission mechanism to achieve synchronous movement.

[0061] Since the left horizontal sliding mechanism 2-2 and the right horizontal sliding mechanism 2-1 have the same structure, this embodiment will take the left horizontal sliding mechanism 2-2 as an example for detailed explanation.

[0062] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the left horizontal sliding mechanism 2-2 includes a horizontal sliding body 2-4, a horizontal linear guide rail group 2-9, a horizontal rack 2-5, etc. A base 2-6 is installed on the support frame 1. The setting direction of the base 2-6 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the roller conveyor mechanism 6, that is, it is set along the width direction of the support frame 1. A guide rail seat 2-8 is installed on the top of the base 2-6. The horizontal linear guide rail group 2-9 is installed on the upper side of the guide rail seat 2-8. The horizontal sliding body 2-4 is set outside the horizontal linear guide rail group 2-9. Under the action of the horizontal linear guide rail group 2-9, the horizontal sliding body 2-4 can make horizontal linear movement relative to the guide rail seat 2-8. The movement direction is perpendicular to the roller conveyor direction.

[0063] In this embodiment, the horizontal sliding body 2-4 has a gate-shaped structure, and the horizontal linear guide rail 2-9 group includes a horizontal linear guide rail 2-9 fixed to the back of the horizontal sliding body 2-4, a horizontal guide rail slider 2-10 slidably connected to the horizontal linear guide rail 2-9, and the horizontal guide rail slider 2-10 is fixed to the guide rail seat 2-8.

[0064] To increase the support strength of the horizontal sliding body 2-4, multiple stirrups 2-11 are spaced apart along the length of the outer surface of the horizontal sliding body 2-4. The horizontal sliding bodies 2-4 of the left horizontal sliding mechanism 2-2 and the right horizontal sliding mechanism 2-1 are connected by a front cross brace 2-3 and a rear cross brace 2-7.

[0065] Two horizontal linear guides 2-9 are spaced apart. A horizontal rack 2-5 is provided between the two horizontal linear guides 2-9. The horizontal rack 2-5 is fixed to the back of the horizontal sliding body 2-4. The horizontal rack 2-5 meshes with the horizontal transition gear set 2-13 on the lower side. The horizontal transition gear set 2-13 is connected to the base 2-6.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, the horizontal transmission mechanism includes a horizontal transmission motor 2-14, a horizontal transmission gear set 2-15, and a horizontal transmission shaft 2-16. The horizontal transmission motor 2-14 is connected to the horizontal transmission gear set 2-15 through the output shaft of the reducer. The horizontal transmission gear set 2-15 is connected to the horizontal transmission shaft 2-16. The two ends of the horizontal transmission shaft 2-16 are respectively connected to the horizontal transition main gear 2-18 in the left horizontal sliding mechanism 2-2 and the right horizontal sliding mechanism 2-1.

[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, the horizontal transition gear set 2-13 includes a transition driven gear 2-17 meshing with the horizontal rack 2-5 and a transition driving gear 2-18 meshing with the transition driven gear 2-17; as Figure 8 As shown, the horizontal transmission gear set 2-15 includes an output driven gear 2-19 mounted on the horizontal transmission shaft 2-16 and an output driving gear 2-20 meshing with the output driven gear 2-19. The output driving gear 2-20 is connected to the output shaft of the reducer. The horizontal transmission motor 2-14, the horizontal transmission gear set 2-15, the horizontal transition gear set 2-13, and the horizontal rack 2-5 realize the synchronous movement of the left horizontal sliding mechanism 2-2 and the right horizontal sliding mechanism 2-1.

[0068] A horizontal laser rangefinder 2-21 is provided on the outer left side of the horizontal sliding body 2-4 of the left horizontal sliding mechanism 2-2. The horizontal laser rangefinder 2-21 is fixed to the base 2-6 through the horizontal laser instrument bracket 2-22, and the horizontal laser rangefinder 2-21 corresponds to the rear edge of the roller conveyor mechanism 6. A horizontal laser reflector 2-23 is also installed on the outer side of the horizontal sliding body 2-4. There is a certain distance between the horizontal laser reflector 2-23 and the horizontal laser rangefinder 2-21. This distance is set according to the displacement limit range of the horizontal laser rangefinder 2-21.

[0069] like Figure 9 As shown, the vertical sliding mechanism 3 includes a vertical sliding body 3-1, a vertical linear guide rail assembly 3-3, a support base 3-2, etc. The support base 3-2 is fixed to the front end of the horizontal sliding body 2-4. The vertical linear guide rail assembly 3-3 and the vertical rack 3-4 are installed between the vertical sliding body 3-1 and the support base 3-2. The vacuum suction device 4 is fixed to the front side of the vertical sliding body 3-1.

[0070] In this embodiment, the vertical sliding body 3-1 also has a gate-shaped structure, with its opening facing the support base 3-2. The vertical linear guide rail 3-3 group includes two spaced vertical linear guide rails 3-3, with a vertical rack 3-4 between them. Each vertical linear guide rail 3-3 is slidably connected to a vertical guide rail slider 3-9, and the vertical guide rail slider 3-9 is fixed to the support base 3-2.

[0071] The vertical sliding mechanism 3 is driven by a vertical transmission mechanism, which includes a vertical transmission motor 3-5, a vertical transmission gear set 3-6, a vertical lifting gear set 3-7, and a vertical transmission shaft 3-8. The vertical transmission motor 3-5 is fixed to the connecting frame 2-12 at the top of the front cross brace 2-3 and the rear cross brace 2-7. The vertical transmission motor 3-5 is connected to the vertical transmission gear set 3-6 through the output shaft of the reducer. The vertical transmission gear set 3-6 is connected to the vertical transmission shaft 3-8. Each end of the vertical transmission shaft 3-8 is connected to a set of vertical lifting gear sets 3-7. The vertical lifting gear sets 3-7 mesh with the vertical rack 3-4 between the vertical linear guide rail 3-3. The vertical rack 3-4 is fixed to the inside of the vertical sliding body 3-1. The vertical transmission motor 3-5, the vertical transmission gear set 3-6, the vertical lifting gear set 3-7, and the vertical rack 3-4 enable the synchronous lifting of the two vertical sliding bodies 3-1.

[0072] Similarly, the vertical transmission gear set 3-6 and the vertical lifting gear set 3-7 respectively include a driving gear and a driven gear that mesh with each other, which will not be described in detail here.

[0073] It should be noted that, for ease of description, this embodiment uses "horizontal" and "vertical" to name the components in the horizontal sliding mechanism 2 and the vertical sliding mechanism 3, without limiting the structure itself; wherein, the vertical transmission shaft 3-8 is a transmission shaft used to drive the vertical sliding body 3-1 to move in the vertical direction, and it is not vertically set itself.

[0074] like Figure 10 As shown, the vacuum suction device 4 includes a suction frame 4-1, a vacuum generator 4-2, a suction plate 4-3, a vertical laser rangefinder 4-5, etc. The suction frame 4-1 is a frame structure, which includes an upper horizontal support 4-4 and a lower horizontal support 4-6 that are parallel to each other. The upper horizontal support 4-4 and the lower horizontal support 4-6 are connected by a number of vertical supports 4-7 that are spaced apart. An inner horizontal support 4-8 is also provided between the upper horizontal support 4-4 and the lower horizontal support 4-6.

[0075] Multiple suction cups 4-3 are spaced apart along the length of the lower cross brace 4-6, and the suction cups 4-3 are connected to the inner cross brace 4-8 via fixing components. Multiple vacuum generators 4-2 are also fixed on the inner cross brace 4-8, and an air compressor 4-9 is mounted on the connecting frame 2-12; the vacuum generators 4-2 are connected to the suction cups 4-3 via air pipes, and are also connected to the air compressor 4-9. A vertical laser rangefinder 4-5 is mounted on the lower cross brace 4-6 to detect the distance between the suction cups 4-3 and the copper busbar. In this embodiment, the suction cups 4-3 are vacuum suction cups.

[0076] During the material suction process, when the suction disc 4-3 descends and contacts the upper surface of the copper busbar on the material cart 7, a vacuum is generated by the vacuum generator 4-2 to hold the copper busbar in place. When the suction disc 4-3, carrying the copper busbar, contacts the drive roller of the roller conveyor line 6, the vacuum generator 4-2 cancels the vacuum, allowing the copper busbar to fall off, thus realizing the transfer of the copper busbar.

[0077] like Figure 14 As shown, the roller conveyor mechanism 6 includes multiple drive rollers 6-6, which are evenly spaced between the front beam 1-1 and the front crossbeam 1-2. The drive rollers 6-6 are connected to the front beam 1-1 and the front crossbeam 1-2 through bearings and are driven by a sprocket and chain mechanism driven by the roller conveyor motor 6-2. This sprocket and chain mechanism is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0078] A thrust roller 6-5 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the front beam 1-1. A thrust roller 6-5 is provided at intervals of a certain number of transmission rollers 6-6. In this embodiment, a thrust roller 6-5 is provided at intervals of two transmission rollers 6-6. A position adjustment mechanism is installed on the opposite side of the thrust roller 6-5.

[0079] like Figure 11 As shown, the position adjustment mechanism includes a linkage rod 6-4, an electric push rod 6-7, and a push fork. In this embodiment, one end of the linkage rod 6-4 is connected to the left push fork 6-1, and the other end is connected to the right push fork 6-3. The left push fork 6-1 is rotatably mounted on the left fork seat 6-8, and the right push fork 6-3 is rotatably mounted on the right fork seat 6-9. The left fork seat 6-8 and the right fork seat 6-9 are respectively fixed to the support frame 1.

[0080] The fixed end of the electric push rod 6-7 is connected to the support frame 1 through the push rod bracket, and the movable end is connected to the left push fork 6-1 and the linkage rod 6-4 through the bearing joint. The left push fork 6-1 is equipped with a left roller 6-10, and the right push fork 6-3 is equipped with a right roller 6-10. Under the push of the electric push rod 6-7, the roller 6-10 on the push fork pushes the copper busbar to the required position.

[0081] like Figure 12As shown, the material cart 7 includes a material cart frame 7-1, a material unloading tray 7-2, a clamping and centering mechanism, etc. Universal wheels 7-3 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the material cart frame 7-1. A handle 7-4 is installed at the end of the material cart frame 7-1 away from the shearing and punching equipment 5, and the material cart 7 is moved by pushing it through the handle 7-4.

[0082] The two ends of the material cart frame 7-1 are connected by longitudinal stiffening plates 7-5. Multiple material trays 7-2 are set along the length of the longitudinal stiffening plates 7-5, and copper busbars are placed through the material trays 7-2.

[0083] like Figure 13 As shown, the clamping and centering mechanism includes at least two sets of shift fork groups 7-7. Adjacent shift fork groups 7-7 are connected by a swing arm connecting rod 7-6. One end of the swing arm connecting rod 7-6 is connected to an electric push rod 7-9 via an adjusting rod 7-10, and the electric push rod 7-9 is connected to the adjusting rod 7-10 via a rocker arm 7-15.

[0084] In this embodiment, the shift fork assembly 7-7 has a Y-shaped structure, which includes a first swing arm 7-11 and a second swing arm 7-12. The length of the first swing arm 7-11 is greater than the length of the second swing arm 7-12. One end of the first swing arm 7-11 and the second swing arm 7-12 each has a swing arm column 7-14 perpendicular to it. The other end of the second swing arm 7-12 is rotatably connected to the first swing arm 7-11. The other end of the first swing arm 7-11 is rotatably connected to the swing arm connecting rod 7-6, so that the two swing arm columns 7-14 can move closer or further away from each other under the action of the electric push rod 7-9, thereby clamping or releasing the copper busbar.

[0085] The first swing arm 7-11 column is located on one side of the material feeding tray 7-2, and the second swing arm 7-12 column is located on the other side of the material feeding tray 7-2.

The pin and the positioning lugs at both ends of the material cart frame are positioned by the cooperation of the chain link.

[0088] This embodiment also includes an electrical control system, which includes an electrical control cabinet, an operation panel 8, electrical control components, computer operating programs, etc. The control parameters of the equipment are input on the operation panel 8 before the equipment is run.

[0089] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0090] (1) Initial state---(2) The centering fork of the material cart 7 releases the copper busbar---(3) The horizontal sliding mechanism 2 slides forward and extends---(4) The suction rack 4-1 slides vertically down to the material cart 7---(5) The suction plate 4-3 takes material from the material cart 7---(6) The suction rack 4-1 slides vertically upward to reset---(7) The vertical sliding mechanism slides horizontally backward to reset---(8) The suction rack 4-1 slides vertically down to approach the roller conveyor mechanism 6---(9) The suction plate 4-3 removes the vacuum and puts material onto the roller conveyor mechanism---(10) The copper busbar placed on the roller conveyor mechanism is adjusted in position---(11) The suction rack 4-1 slides vertically upward to reset---(12) The horizontal sliding mechanism 2 slides backward to reset---(13) The material cart 7 is centered, and the fork retracts and rearranges the remaining copper busbars.

[0091] Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0092] (1) Push (or hoist) the material cart 7, which has been hoisted with bundles of copper bars, to the front end of the support frame 1 and position it using positioning pins 7-8 and positioning lugs;

[0093] (2) Remove the carrying straps from the copper busbar;

[0094] (3) Under the push of the swing arm column of the material car 7, the center position of the copper busbar is automatically adjusted by the clamp;

[0095] (4) The swing arm column of material car 7 is separated from both sides of the copper busbar;

[0096] (5) Input the specifications and quantity of copper material to be absorbed in this cycle on the operation screen;

[0097] (6) Conduct a comprehensive simulation trial run of the equipment according to the program and instructions; check the accuracy of the equipment in executing instructions, the reliability and safety of the equipment, and check the lubrication of moving parts, and make adjustments if necessary;

[0098] (7) Start the equipment according to the procedure requirements; so that the equipment enters the normal automatic working cycle;

[0099] (8) After the equipment is started, the equipment is driven by the horizontal transmission motor 2-14, which causes the entire horizontal sliding mechanism 2 to move forward along with the vertical sliding mechanism 3 through the horizontal transmission shaft 2-16, the horizontal transmission gear set 2-15, the transition gear set running horizontally at both ends, the horizontal rack 2-5 and the horizontal linear guide rail 2-9.

[0100] (9) Under the control and detection of the program and the horizontal laser rangefinder 2-21, the entire horizontal sliding mechanism is moved forward to the center line of the suction plate 4-3 to the material cart 7 and fixed in position;

[0101] (10) Immediately following, under the action of the vertical sliding motor 3-5, vertical transmission shaft 3-8, vertical transmission gear set 3-6, and vertical lifting gear set 3-7, the left and right vertical sliding bodies 3-1, together with their front-end suction frame 4-1, descend vertically onto the material cart 7 to pick up the material. The vertical sliding distance of the suction frame 4-1 each time is determined by the vertical laser rangefinder 4-5 installed on the suction frame 4-1, based on its detection data and relevant parameters such as the copper busbar thickness input by the program;

[0102] (11) When the suction plate 4-3 presses against the surface of the copper busbar, the copper busbar is held in place by the vacuum generator 4-2.

[0103] (12) After the suction plate 4-3 holds the copper busbar, the vertical sliding body 3-1, along with the suction rack 4-1 and the copper busbar, rises back to the original fixed height. Then, the horizontal sliding mechanism 2 retracts back to its initial position;

[0104] (13) Immediately afterwards, the copper busbars sucked by the vertical sliding mechanism 3 with the suction rack 4-1 and suction plate 4-3 are placed on the roller conveyor mechanism 6 according to the distance provided by the computer program and the laser.

[0105] (14) At the same time, the clamping and centering mechanism of the material car 7, under the action of the electric push rod 7-9, rearranges the remaining copper busbars to be picked up on the material car 7 neatly, waiting for the next picking cycle.

[0106] (15) The position adjustment mechanism on the roller conveyor 6 adjusts the position of the copper busbar according to the requirements of the processing equipment, and the rotating transmission roller 6-6 automatically feeds the copper busbar into the processing equipment.

[0107] (16) A complete copper busbar suction and delivery cycle ends and the next copper busbar pick-up and delivery cycle begins.

[0108] In this embodiment, the copper busbar is picked up by the cooperation of the material cart with the vacuum suction device 4, the horizontal sliding mechanism 2, and the vertical sliding mechanism 3 on the support frame, which can achieve fully automatic control.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
