Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of riveting machine equipment, in particular to a shoveling mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The existing riveting machine places the product on the lower mold core of the lower mold for riveting. After the riveting is completed, the product needs to be transported to the discharge port for discharge. When the product is discharged, it may be stuck on the lower mold core and cannot be separated. When this happens, the product jamming problem needs to be manually handled. The riveting machine needs to be stopped and the product needs to be manually removed from the lower mold core to separate the product from the lower mold core, which consumes manpower and wastes time. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a shoveling mechanism that can automatically separate the product from the lower mold core, eliminating the need for the user to manually handle the material jamming problem, thereby improving efficiency.

[0004] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the shovel mechanism includes: a fixed part, a lifting part, a shovel body part, a first driving part, a second driving part, and a detection part. The lifting part is mounted on the fixed part, and the shovel body part is mounted on the lifting part. The first driving part is connected between the lifting part and the shovel body part to drive the shovel body part to move horizontally, and when the shovel body part moves toward the lower mold, the shovel body part scoops up the product on the lower mold. The second driving part is connected between the fixed part and the lifting part to drive the lifting part to move up and down, and when the shovel body part scoops up the product, the shovel body part is driven to rise and separate from the lower mold core on the lower mold. The detection part is used to detect whether the product has been scooped up by the shovel body part, and the detection part is also used to detect whether the product is still left on the lower mold. The front end of the shovel body part is provided with an avoidance gap, and the avoidance gap is used to avoid the lower mold core on the lower mold.

[0005] According to the shovel mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing a first driving member and a second driving member, and connecting the first driving member and the second driving member to the lifting member respectively, the lifting member can be driven to move in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, thereby driving the shovel body member to move horizontally in the front and rear directions and to lift and lower in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the position of the shovel body member, and providing an avoidance notch at the front end of the shovel body member, so that the lower mold core can be smoothly avoided, so that the shovel body member can smoothly scoop up the product on the lower mold, and by providing a detection member above the shovel body member, it can be detected whether the shovel body member has scooped up the product and successfully separated the product from the lower mold core. The shovel mechanism thus provided has a simpler structure and principle, is more convenient to operate, can automatically separate the product from the lower mold core, and does not require the user to manually deal with the problem of material jamming, thus saving time and improving efficiency.

[0006] In some embodiments, the scooping mechanism further comprises: a discharge air blow pipe, the air outlet of which is disposed toward the scoop body member to blow the product forward and away from the scoop body member. When the scoop body member scoops up the product, the air outlet of the discharge air blow pipe blows air toward the product on the scoop body member. After the product separates from the lower mold core, the air blown from the air outlet of the discharge air blow pipe propels the product, causing it to separate from the scoop body member and toward the discharge port, thereby providing the product with power to separate from the scoop body member, enabling the product to separate from the scoop body member and then move to the discharge port.

[0007] Specifically, the discharge air pipe is located at the rear end of the shovel body, and the discharge air pipe is arranged to discharge air forward and downward. After the shovel body is controlled by the first and second drive members to shovel the product onto the shovel body, the discharge air pipe is located above and behind the product, and the air outlet of the discharge air pipe discharges air in the direction of the product, enabling the product to move from the front end of the shovel body to the discharge port.

[0008] Furthermore, there are multiple discharge air blowing pipes, and the multiple discharge air blowing pipes are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the shovel body. Providing multiple discharge air blowing pipes and arranging the multiple discharge air blowing pipes along the width direction of the shovel body can increase the blown gas and make the gas more evenly distributed on the rear side of the product, making it easier to blow the product and enable the product to be smoothly separated from the shovel body.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rear end of the shovel body is connected to a fixed tube plate, which has fixed tube holes, and the discharge air blowing pipe is installed through the fixed tube holes. This arrangement simplifies the structure and facilitates the fixing of multiple discharge air blowing pipes. The discharge air blowing pipes can be stably fixed to the rear end of the shovel body, allowing them to discharge air stably.

[0010] Specifically, the shovel body includes a shovel bottom plate that is tilted downward in the forward direction. This facilitates the blowing of the product by the discharge air pipe. After the product is blown by the discharge air pipe, it slides more easily along the tilted shovel bottom plate to the discharge port under the action of gravity and the force provided by the discharge air pipe. This design makes the structure simpler.

[0011] In some embodiments, the shoveling mechanism further comprises a detection link, the detection link being located above the shovel body, one end of the detection link being connected to the fixing member, and the other end of the detection link being mounted with the detection member. This arrangement simplifies the structure, and allows the detection member to be located above the shovel body, preventing the detection member from interfering with the shovel body from scooping up the product. It also facilitates the detection member in detecting whether the shovel body has scooped the product off the lower mold core.

[0012] Specifically, the detection link includes: a first strip, a second strip, and a third strip, wherein the first strip is horizontally arranged, one end of the first strip is connected to the fixing member, the other end of the first strip is located above the shovel body member, the second strip is vertically connected to the other end of the first strip, the third strip is connected to the second strip, and the third strip extends downward in the forward direction, and the detection member is mounted on the third strip, wherein when the shovel body member is extended, the detection member corresponds to above the rear end of the shovel body member, and when the shovel body member is retracted, the detection member corresponds to above the front end of the shovel body member. This arrangement allows the detection member to be arranged above the shovel body member, reserving space for the movement of the shovel body member without affecting the movement of the shovel body member driven by the first and second driving members, allowing the shovel body member to move smoothly to the lower mold to scoop up the product, and the detection member can detect whether the shovel body member has scooped up the product and detect whether the product on the shovel body member has separated from the lower mold core, making the detection result more accurate.

[0013] Furthermore, at least one of the first and second driving members is a cylinder. The structure and principle of the cylinder are relatively simple. Setting at least one of the first and second driving members as a cylinder facilitates installation and maintenance. The cylinder is fast and responsive, and can quickly drive the shovel body to move.

[0014] In some embodiments, at least one guide assembly is connected between the lifting member and the shovel body member. The guide assembly includes a guide sleeve and a guide rod. The guide sleeve is mounted on the lifting member, the guide rod is mounted within the guide sleeve, and one end of the guide rod is connected to the shovel body member. Providing the guide assembly between the lifting member and the shovel body member can better guide the movement of the shovel body member, prevent the shovel body member from directional deviation during forward and backward movement, and control the directional accuracy of the shovel body member during movement.

[0015] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description which follows, or may be learned by practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 A scooping mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the shoveling mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a fixing member 10 , a lifting member 20 , a shovel body member 30 , a first driving member 40 , a second driving member 50 , and a detecting member 60 .

[0038] Among them, the lifting member 20 is installed on the fixing member 10, and the shovel body member 30 is installed on the lifting member 20. The first driving member 40 is connected between the lifting member 20 and the shovel body member 30 to drive the shovel body member 30 to move horizontally, and when the shovel body member 30 moves toward the lower mold, the shovel body member 30 scoops up the product on the lower mold. The second driving member 50 is connected between the fixing member 10 and the lifting member 20 to drive the lifting and lowering of the lifting member 20, and when the shovel body member 30 scoops up the product, the shovel body member 30 is driven to rise and separate from the lower mold core on the lower mold. The detection member 60 is used to detect whether the product is scooped up from the shovel body member 30. The detection member 60 is also used to detect whether there is any product left on the lower mold. The front end of the shovel body member 30 is provided with an avoidance gap 311, and the avoidance gap 311 is used to avoid the lower mold core on the lower mold.

[0039] Specifically, the fixing part 10 is constructed as a rectangular plate structure. At least one fixing part 10 can be set in the shoveling mechanism 100. The number of the lifting part 20, the shovel body part 30, the first driving part 40, the second driving part 50 and the detection part 60 is consistent with the number of the fixing parts 10. The number of the fixing parts 10 is consistent with the number of the lower molds, and each fixing part 10 corresponds to a lower mold setting.

[0040] Exemplarily, when there are two lower molds on the work station, the shoveling mechanism 100 can be provided with two fixing parts 10, and the two lower molds on the work station are arranged adjacent to each other. The two fixing parts 10 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two lower molds, and the two fixing parts 10 are arranged adjacent to each other. A lifting part 20 is installed on each fixing part 10, and the lifting part 20 is arranged on the front side of the fixing part 10, wherein the direction of setting the shovel body part 30 is in front of the shoveling mechanism 100, and the direction of setting the fixing part 10 is behind the shoveling mechanism 100. A first driving part 40 is installed on each lifting part 20, and the shovel body part 30 is arranged in front of the lifting part 20. The first driving part 40 connects the shovel body part 30 and the lifting part 20, which can drive the shovel body part 30 to move in the front and rear directions. When the first driving part 40 moves forward, it drives the shovel body part 30 to move forward. When the first driving part 40 moves backward, it drives the shovel body part 30 to move backward, so that the shovel body part 30 can move toward the lower mold.

[0041] It should be noted that a second driving member 50 is also provided on the fixing member 10, and each fixing member 10 corresponds to a second driving member 50. The second driving member 50 is arranged on the fixing member 10, and the second driving member 50 is arranged near the lifting member 20. The second driving member 50 is arranged on the side where two adjacent fixing members 10 are close to each other, and the lifting member 20 is arranged on the side where two adjacent fixing members 10 are away from each other. The second driving member 50 is connected between the fixing member 10 and the lifting member 20. The area of ​​the lifting member 20 is smaller than the area of ​​the fixing member 10. The second driving member 50 drives the lifting member 20 to move, so that the lifting member 20 can move along the height direction of the fixing member 10.

[0042] The front end of the shovel body part 30 is provided with an opening, which is an avoidance notch 311. When the product is located on the lower mold, the first driving part 40 controls the shovel body part 30 to move toward the lower mold until the shovel body part 30 is located between the product and the lower mold. A lower mold core is provided on the lower mold, and the lower mold core protrudes from the lower mold surface and extends upward. The product is sleeved on the lower mold core. The avoidance notch 311 at the front end of the shovel body part 30 faces the lower mold core. When the shovel body part 30 moves forward, the avoidance notch 311 avoids the lower mold core, so that the shovel body part 30 can scoop up the product smoothly.

[0043] A detection member 60 is provided above the shovel body 30. The detection member 60 is of various types and can be set as a laser sensor, an infrared detector, or a camera, etc., and can be selected according to actual needs. The laser sensor is small in size, has high precision, and can detect without contacting the object to be measured. When the detection member 60 is a laser sensor, the laser sensor can detect whether the shovel body 30 has scooped up the product and whether the shovel body 30 has shoveled the product away from the lower mold core without contacting the shovel body 30, thereby realizing non-contact measurement. When the detection member 60 is an infrared detector or a camera, the infrared detector and the camera have a wide detection range and high detection accuracy. In this way, the detection member 60 can be set outside the movement range of the shovel body 30, which can prevent the detection member 60 from being too close to the shovel body 30 and affecting the movement of the shovel body 30. In this way, the detected data is more accurate, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0044] The detection part 60 can detect whether the shovel body part 30 has scooped up the product and confirm whether the product is still on the lower mold core. After the shovel body part 30 has scooped up the product, the second driving part 50 drives the lifting part 20 to move upward along the fixing part 10, thereby driving the shovel body part 30 to rise. While the shovel body part 30 rises, the product located on the shovel body part 30 is lifted until the product can be separated from the lower mold core on the lower mold. During this process, the detection part 60 continues to detect to ensure that the product is successfully separated from the lower mold core.

[0045] According to the shovel mechanism 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing a first driving member 40 and a second driving member 50, and connecting the first driving member 40 and the second driving member 50 to the lifting member 20 respectively, it can drive the lifting member 20 to move in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, thereby driving the shovel body member 30 to move horizontally in the front and rear directions and to rise and fall in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the position of the shovel body member 30, and providing an avoidance notch 311 at the front end of the shovel body member 30, it can smoothly avoid the lower mold core, so that the shovel body member 30 can smoothly scoop up the product on the lower mold, and by providing a detection member 60 above the shovel body member 30, it can detect whether the shovel body member 30 scoops up the product and successfully separates the product from the lower mold core. The shovel mechanism 100 has a simpler structure and principle, is more convenient to operate, can automatically separate the product from the lower mold core, and does not require the user to manually deal with the problem of material jamming, saving time and improving efficiency.

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the shoveling mechanism 100 further includes: a discharge air pipe 72 , the air outlet of the discharge air pipe 72 is arranged toward the shovel body 30 to blow the product forward away from the shovel body 30 .

[0047] Specifically, the discharge air blow pipe 72 is arranged above the shovel body 30. The end of the discharge air blow pipe 72 close to the shovel body 30 is the air outlet of the discharge air blow pipe 72. The air outlet of the discharge air blow pipe 72 can blow air toward the shovel body 30. When the shovel body 30 scoops up the product, the second driving member 50 drives the shovel body 30 to move upward, thereby lifting the product upward. During this process, the air outlet of the discharge air blow pipe 72 blows air toward the product on the shovel body 30. After the product is separated from the lower mold core, the air blown out of the air outlet of the discharge air blow pipe 72 blows the product, causing the product to separate from the shovel body 30 and move to the discharge port. This arrangement can provide the product with power to separate from the shovel body 30, allowing the product to separate from the shovel body 30 and then move to the discharge port.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the discharge air blow pipe 72 is located at the rear end of the shovel body 30, and the air outlet direction of the discharge air blow pipe 72 is set forward and downward. The discharge air blow pipe 72 is located at the upper rear end of the shovel body 30, and the discharge air blow pipe 72 is tilted, tilting forward and downward. The air outlet of the discharge air blow pipe 72 is located at the forward and downward end of the discharge air blow pipe 72, which is close to the rear end of the shovel body 30. The discharge air blow pipe 72 discharges air forward and downward from the air outlet. After the shovel body 30 is controlled by the first driving member 40 and the second driving member 50 to shovel the product onto the shovel body 30, the discharge air blow pipe 72 is located at the upper rear end of the product, and the air outlet of the discharge air blow pipe 72 discharges air in the direction of the product, which can move the product from the front end of the shovel body 30 to the discharge port.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, further, there are multiple discharge air blowing pipes 72, and the multiple discharge air blowing pipes 72 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the shovel body 30.

[0050] It should be noted that the width direction of the shovel body 30 is the direction indicated by the arrow C in the figure, and multiple discharge air blowing pipes 72 are arranged at intervals at the rear end of the shovel body 30 along the width direction of the shovel body 30. Multiple exhaust pipes are inclined forward and downward, and the front end of the shovel body 30 is aligned with the discharge port. Multiple discharge air blowing pipes 72 are arranged in the width direction of the shovel body 30 to discharge air forward and downward, that is, to discharge air toward the front end of the shovel body 30. The product on the shovel body 30 is blown by the gas blown out by the discharge air blowing pipe 72 and enters the discharge port from the front end of the shovel body 30. Arranging multiple discharge air blowing pipes 72 and arranging them along the width direction of the shovel body 30 can increase the blown gas and make the gas more evenly distributed on the rear side of the product, making it easier to blow the product so that the product can smoothly separate from the shovel body 30.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the rear end of the shovel body 30 is connected to a fixed tube plate 70, which is provided with fixed tube holes 71, and the discharge air blowing pipe 72 is provided at the fixed tube hole 71. The fixed tube plate 70 is arranged in the width direction of the shovel body 30, one end of which is connected to the rear end of the shovel body 30, and the other end of the fixed tube plate 70 extends upward. The fixed tube plate 70 is provided with a plurality of fixed tube holes 71 at intervals, and a plurality of discharge air blowing pipes 72 are provided in the plurality of fixed tube holes 71. The discharge air blowing pipes 72 are partially located in front of the fixed tube plate 70 and partially located at the rear of the fixed tube plate 70. The air outlet of the discharge air blowing pipe 72 is located in front of the fixed tube plate 70. This arrangement makes the structure simpler and facilitates the fixing of the plurality of discharge air blowing pipes 72. The discharge air blowing pipes 72 can be stably fixed to the rear end of the shovel body 30, so that they can discharge air stably.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the shovel body 30 includes a shovel bottom plate 31, which is arranged to be tilted downward in the forward direction.

[0053] Among them, an avoidance gap 311 is provided at the front edge of the shovel bottom plate 31. The avoidance gap 311 is provided at the center of the front edge of the shovel bottom plate 31 and is recessed backward from the front edge of the shovel bottom plate 31. The opening direction of the avoidance gap 311 is facing forward. If the shovel mechanism 100 includes multiple shovel body parts 30, the shapes of the avoidance gaps 311 of the multiple shovel body parts 30 can be the same or different. There is no restriction here and it can be designed according to the actual shape of the lower mold core.

[0054] It should be noted that if Figure 5 The shovel bottom plate 31 is a rectangular plate structure arranged obliquely, and the first driving member 40 drives the shovel body member 30 to move forward, and the shovel bottom plate 31 scoops into between the product and the lower mold, and the lower mold core is located in the avoidance gap 311, and the shovel bottom plate 31 is located below the product, and the shovel bottom plate 31 is tilted downward in the forward direction, which scoops up the product, and the second driving member 50 drives the shovel body member 30 to move upward, and the upward movement of the shovel body member 30 drives the product on the shovel bottom plate 31 to move upward synchronously until the product is separated from the lower mold core, and the front end of the shovel bottom plate 31 is aligned with the discharge port. The product separated from the lower mold core is discharged through multiple discharge blowing pipes 72 and slides toward the discharge port along the inclined shovel bottom plate 31. The shovel bottom plate 31 is constructed to be tilted downward in the forward direction to facilitate the discharge blowing pipe 72 to blow the product. After being blown by the discharge blowing pipe 72, the product is more easily slid to the discharge port along the inclined shovel bottom plate 31 under the action of gravity and the force provided by the discharge blowing pipe 72. This design makes the structure simpler.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the shovel mechanism 100 further includes: a detection link 80, which is located above the shovel body 30, one end of the detection link 80 is connected to the fixing member 10, and the other end of the detection link 80 is mounted with a detection member 60. The detection link 80 is arranged perpendicular to the fixing member 10, one end of the detection link 80 is fixed to the top of the fixing member 10, and the other end extends forward to the top of the shovel body 30, and the other end of the detection link 80 is provided with a detection member 60, which is arranged toward the shovel body 30. This arrangement makes the structure simpler, and the detection member 60 can be arranged above the shovel body 30, which can prevent the detection member 60 from affecting the shovel body 30 in scooping up the product, and also facilitates the detection member 60 to detect whether the shovel body 30 has shoveled the product away from the lower mold core.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the detection link 80 includes: a first slat 81, a second slat 82, and a third slat 83. The first slat 81 is horizontally arranged, one end of the first slat 81 is connected to the fixing member 10, and the other end of the first slat 81 is located above the shovel body member 30. The second slat 82 is vertically connected to the other end of the first slat 81, and the third slat 83 is connected to the second slat 82. The third slat 83 extends downward in the forward direction, and the detection member 60 is installed on the third slat 83; wherein, when the shovel body member 30 is extended, the detection member 60 corresponds to above the rear end of the shovel body member 30, and when the shovel body member 30 is retracted, the detection member 60 corresponds to above the front end of the shovel body member 30.

[0057] Specifically, the first slat 81 is arranged horizontally, one end of the first slat 81 is connected to the top of the fixing member 10, and the other end of the first slat 81 extends forward, and is located above the shovel body 30; the second slat 82 is bent vertically downward relative to the first slat 81, and one end of it is connected to the edge of the other end of the first slat 81. It can be connected to the inner edge of the other end of the first slat 81, or it can be connected to the outer edge of the other end of the first slat 81, and the other end of the second slat 82 extends downward; one end of the third slat 83 is connected to the second slat 82, and the other end of it extends forward and downward, and the other end of the third slat 83 is installed with a detection member 60.

[0058] It should be noted that the detection member 60 is located above the shovel body member 30, and the first driving member 40 drives the shovel body member 30 to move in the front and rear directions. When the first driving member 40 drives the shovel body member 30 to move forward, the shovel body member 30 moves forward relative to the detection member 60. When the shovel body member 30 extends to the lower mold, the shovel body member 30 scoops up the product, and the product is located on the shovel bottom plate 31. At this time, the detection member 60 corresponds to the rear end of the shovel body member 30 and can detect whether the product on the shovel bottom plate 31 is completely separated from the lower mold core; when the first driving member 40 drives the shovel body member 30 to move backward, the shovel body member 30 moves backward relative to the detection member 60. When the shovel body member 30 is completely retracted backward, the detection member 60 corresponds to the front end of the shovel body member 30 and can detect that there is no product on the shovel bottom plate 31. With this arrangement, the detection member 60 can be set above the shovel body member 30, reserving space for the movement of the shovel body member 30, without affecting the movement of the shovel body member 30 driven by the first driving member 40 and the second driving member 50, so that the shovel body member 30 can move smoothly to the lower mold to scoop up the product. The detection member 60 can detect whether the shovel body member 30 has scooped up the product, and detect whether the product on the shovel body member 30 is separated from the lower mold core, so that the detection result is more accurate.

[0059] Specifically, at least one of the first driving member 40 and the second driving member 50 is a cylinder.

[0060] It should be noted that when the first driving member 40 is set as a cylinder, the cylinder is horizontally arranged in the front-to-back direction, and the piston of the cylinder is connected to the lifting member 20. When the piston performs linear reciprocating motion in the cylinder, it drives the lifting member 20 to reciprocate in the front-to-back direction, thereby driving the shovel body member 30 to move in the front-to-back direction; when the second driving member 50 is set as a cylinder, the cylinder is set on the fixed member 10 in the vertical direction, and the piston of the cylinder is connected to the lifting member 20. When the piston performs linear reciprocating motion in the cylinder, it drives the lifting member 20 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, thereby driving the shovel body member 30 to move in the vertical direction. The structure and principle of the cylinder are relatively simple. Setting at least one of the first driving member 40 and the second driving member 50 as a cylinder is convenient for installation and maintenance, and the cylinder moves quickly and responds sensitively, and can quickly drive the shovel body member 30 to move.

[0061] In some embodiments, at least one guide assembly 90 is connected between the lifting member 20 and the shovel body member 30. The guide assembly 90 includes: a guide sleeve 91 and a guide rod 92. The guide sleeve 91 is installed on the lifting member 20, and the guide rod 92 is sleeved in the guide sleeve 91. One end of the guide rod 92 is connected to the shovel body member 30.

[0062] Specifically, one end of the guide sleeve 91 is fixed to the front side of the lifting member 20, and the other end extends toward the rear of the lifting member 20. The lifting member 20 is provided with a through hole, and the guide rod 92 is sleeved in the guide sleeve 91 and passes through the through hole on the lifting member 20. Part of the guide rod 92 is located behind the lifting member 20, and part is located in front of the lifting member 20. The end of the guide rod 92 located in front of the lifting member 20 is connected to the rear end of the shovel body 30. A locking protrusion is provided on the circumference of the end of the guide rod 92 located at the rear of the lifting member 20. The guide rod 92 can move back and forth in the guide sleeve 91. The guide rod 92 moves forward until the locking protrusion at the end of the guide rod 92 stops on the guide sleeve 91, and the guide rod 92 stops moving forward; the guide rod 92 moves backward until the discharge air pipe 72 is against the lifting member 20, and the guide rod 92 stops moving backward. The forward or backward movement of the guide rod 92 drives the shovel body 30 to move forward or backward synchronously. The guide assembly 90 is provided between the lifting member 20 and the shovel body member 30 to better guide the movement of the shovel body member 30, prevent the shovel body member 30 from directional deviation during the forward and backward movement, and control the accuracy of the direction of the shovel body member 30 during the movement.
