[0005] In the above scheme, the consumables are easy to adsorb moisture in the air, so adding a desiccant package during the bagging process can make the bagged consumables be dried by the desiccant package to remove moisture from the consumables, and save it dry; in addition, the wire clamp is a common accessory of the wire reel, and when the consumables are actually used and not used up, the wire clamp can be used to clamp the consumables on the wire reel, so that the consumables will not be loose on the wire reel. Adding a desiccant package and a wire clamp during packaging can facilitate the use of subsequent purchasers of consumables and also provide a certain competitive advantage for the product. In addition, in the present application, the wire reel is grasped and transferred by using a grabbing disc mechanical hand, so that the wire reel can be docked with a desiccant adsorption clamp and a wire clamp clamping clamp at the desiccant loading station and the wire clamp loading station before vacuumizing and bagging, so that the desiccant package and the wire clamp can be placed in the center tube of the wire reel, respectively, so that the desiccant package, the wire clamp and the wire reel as a whole can be transferred by the grabbing disc mechanical hand to the subsequent vacuumizing and bagging. That is, in the present application, the desiccant package and the wire clamp are placed in the wire reel, which is a manual and mechanical operation, which can improve the efficiency.

[0015] In the above scheme, the wire clamp clamping fixture can clamp the wire clamp from the wire clamp stop position on the side of the conveying track into the center tube of the butt joint. The clamping jaw cylinder of the wire clamp clamping fixture can move back and forth between the wire clamp stop position and the area in front of the wire clamp stop position under the drive of the second horizontal movement cylinder; before the clamping jaw cylinder grabs the wire clamp, the wire clamp enters the wire clamp stop position from the conveying track, then the lifting drive cylinder can drive the mounting block to lift, that is, the wire clamp on the wire clamp stop position can be lifted, so that the clamping jaw cylinder can conveniently clamp the wire clamp; the finger cylinder is a conventional clamping jaw type cylinder, which can clamp the article through the clamping jaw; then the lifting drive cylinder drives the mounting block to fall back to the original position, so that the clamping jaw cylinder can move towards the direction of the grabbing disc manipulator and take the wire clamp away from the wire clamp stop position. In this embodiment, the desiccant feeding assembly and the wire clamp feeding assembly are arranged close to each other, the grabbing disc manipulator grabs the wire disc and transfers the center tube of the wire disc to the desiccant feeding station and the wire clamp feeding station in turn, and the desiccant adsorption fixture and the wire clamp clamping fixture are used to respectively put the desiccant package and the wire clamp into the center tube.

[0016] In one embodiment, the wire clamp feeding assembly comprises a wire clamp vibrating feeding disc and a conveying track connected with the wire clamp vibrating feeding disc, the end of the conveying track is provided with a stop module, the stop module comprises a lifting drive cylinder and a mounting block arranged on the output end of the lifting drive cylinder, the mounting block is provided with a wire clamp stop position for placing one wire clamp on the side close to the conveying track, the wire clamp clamping fixture comprises a second horizontal movement cylinder, a stand arranged on the output end of the second horizontal movement cylinder, and a clamping jaw cylinder arranged on the stand and capable of clamping the wire clamp at the wire clamp stop position, the clamping jaw cylinder is a rotary finger cylinder with a clamping jaw, the rotary finger cylinder with a clamping jaw can horizontally insert the wire clamp on the desiccant package at the desiccant feeding station, so that the wire clamp and the desiccant package are relatively fixed to form a whole; the movement direction of the output end of the second horizontal movement cylinder is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the end part of the conveying track, the second horizontal movement cylinder is arranged in front of the conveying track, the clamping jaw cylinder moves the wire clamp to the desiccant feeding station, and the wire clamp feeding station and the desiccant feeding station are the same station.

[0017] In the above scheme, the wire clamp clamping fixture can clamp the wire clamp from the wire clamp stop position on the side of the conveying track into the center cylinder of the butt joint. The clamping jaw cylinder of the wire clamp clamping fixture can move back and forth between the wire clamp stop position and the side area of the wire clamp stop position under the drive of the second transverse movement cylinder; before the clamping jaw cylinder grabs the wire clamp, the wire clamp enters the wire clamp stop position from the conveying track, then the lifting drive cylinder can drive the mounting block to lift, that is, the wire clamp on the wire clamp stop position can be lifted, so that the clamping jaw cylinder can conveniently clamp the wire clamp, then the lifting drive cylinder drives the mounting block to fall back to the original position, so that the clamping jaw cylinder can move towards the direction of the grabbing disc manipulator and take the wire clamp away from the wire clamp stop position. In this embodiment, the wire clamp can be transferred to the desiccant feeding station by the wire clamp clamping fixture, and the wire clamp feeding station and the desiccant feeding station are actually the same station, that is, the wire clamp and the desiccant package are simultaneously directly butt-jointed with the grabbing disc manipulator at the desiccant feeding station, that is, the wire clamp feeding station; wherein, in this embodiment, the wire clamp is not simply placed on the desiccant feeding station, that is, placed on the placement position of the desiccant package, but is pushed to the desiccant package and clamped on the desiccant package, so that a small whole is formed between the wire clamp and the desiccant package, so that when the desiccant package is subsequently adsorbed and transferred to the center cylinder, the wire clamp can be directly and simultaneously taken into the center cylinder. At the same time, since the wire clamp is clamped on the desiccant package, the wire clamp is not easy to fall off, so that the wire clamp and the desiccant package are both placed into the center cylinder of the wire reel more conveniently and simply. In addition, in this embodiment, in order to avoid the desiccant package from deviating, the process of clamping the wire clamp on the desiccant package is performed before the desiccant package is cut open by the cutter, that is, a plurality of desiccant packages are connected end to end during the conveying process of the desiccant conveying belt, and the desiccant package at the end reaches the placement position, but before the cutter cuts the desiccant package, the clamping jaw cylinder first pushes the wire clamp to the desiccant package at the placement position and clamps the wire clamp on the desiccant package, and after clamping, the subsequent cutter cuts the desiccant package, the desiccant package is adsorbed by the suction nozzle, and finally the desiccant package is placed into the center cylinder together with the wire clamp. In order to make the wire clamp clamp onto the desiccant package more smoothly, the thickness of the middle or front part of the desiccant package is set to be compatible with the opening degree of the wire clamp in this embodiment, so that the wire clamp is not easy to come off after clamping. In addition, the rotary clamping finger cylinder can be a cylinder of model SMC MRHQ20D-90S; the rotary clamping finger cylinder has rotating and clamping functions, so it can change the wire clamp from a vertical state to a horizontal state, which provides a basis for subsequent insertion into the desiccant package.

[0019] In the above scheme, when the wire clamp enters the mounting block from the conveying track, the vertical block and the vertical plate are just synchronously docked, that is, the wire clamp can directly fall into the vertical block from the vertical plate in a vertical conveying posture, and the wire clamp is stopped at the stop plate due to the action of the stop plate, and the position of the wire clamp at this time is just the wire clamp stop position. When the moving direction of the output end of the second horizontal moving cylinder is parallel to the conveying direction of the end part of the conveying track, and the second horizontal moving cylinder is arranged on the side of the conveying track, the gripper can carry the wire clamp away from the wire clamp stop position and place the wire clamp into the center tube from the rear of the mounting block, that is, from the side close to the conveying track. When the moving direction of the output end of the second horizontal moving cylinder is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the end part of the conveying track, and the second horizontal moving cylinder is arranged in front of the conveying track, the gripper can carry the wire clamp away from the wire clamp stop position and to the wire clamp feeding station laterally, and is ready to place the wire clamp into the center tube.

[0020] In an embodiment, the height position of the upper end surface of the stop plate is not higher than the height position of the upper end surface of the vertical block.

[0021] In the above scheme, when the moving direction of the output end of the second horizontal moving cylinder is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the end part of the conveying track, and the second horizontal moving cylinder is arranged in front of the conveying track, the wire clamp needs to be grabbed and moved horizontally by the gripper, the gripper can be designed to move in each of the front, rear, left and right directions of the mounting block, and the relative height between the stop plate and the vertical block can be designed such that the vertical block is higher than the stop plate, so that the wire clamp can be conveniently grabbed by the gripper.

[0022] In an embodiment, the inside of the taking and placing gripper of the gripper mechanical hand is provided with a cloth pocket.

[0023] In the above scheme, the wire coil is in contact with the outside of the taking and placing gripper, and the cloth pocket placed in the inside of the taking and placing gripper does not affect the grabbing of the wire coil by the gripper mechanical hand. After the cloth pocket is designed, the wire clamp and the desiccant bag can be avoided from falling into and being stuck in the inside of the taking and placing gripper when being placed into the center tube.

[0024] In an embodiment, the gripper is provided with an L-shaped clamping part for increasing the contact area when clamping the consumables.

[0025] In an embodiment, the installation block is provided with a proximity sensor at the bottom of the wire clamp stop position, which is used to detect whether the wire clamp stop position has a wire clamp in place. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The clamping jaw cylinder 29 of the wire clamp clamping clamp 9 can move back and forth between the wire clamp stop position 26 and the side area of the wire clamp stop position 26 under the drive of the second transverse moving cylinder 27; before the clamping jaw cylinder 29 grabs the wire clamp 8, the wire clamp 8 enters the wire clamp stop position 26 from the conveying track 23, then the lifting drive cylinder 24 can drive the mounting block 25 to lift, that is, the wire clamp 8 on the wire clamp stop position 26 can be lifted, so that the clamping jaw cylinder 29 can conveniently clamp the wire clamp 8, then the lifting drive cylinder 24 drives the mounting block 25 to fall back to the original position, so that the clamping jaw cylinder 29 can move towards the direction of the grab disc manipulator 1 and take the wire clamp 8 away from the wire clamp stop position 26. In this embodiment, the wire clamp 8 can be transferred to the desiccant feeding station by the wire clamp clamping clamp 9, and the wire clamp feeding station and the desiccant feeding station are actually the same station, that is, the wire clamp 8 and the desiccant bag 6 are directly butt jointed with the grab disc manipulator 1 at the desiccant feeding station, that is, the wire clamp feeding station. Among them, in this embodiment, the wire clamp 8 is not simply placed on the desiccant feeding station, that is, placed on the placing position 16 of the desiccant bag 6, but adopts the form of pushing the wire clamp 8 to the desiccant bag 6 and clamping it on the desiccant bag 6, so that a small whole is formed between the wire clamp 8 and the desiccant bag 6, so that when the desiccant bag 6 is sucked and transferred to the center cylinder 10, the wire clamp 8 can be directly and simultaneously taken into the center cylinder 10. At the same time, since the wire clamp 8 is clamped on the desiccant bag 6, the wire clamp 8 is not easy to fall off, so that the wire clamp 8 and the desiccant bag 6 are both placed into the center cylinder 10 of the wire reel 4, which becomes more convenient and simple. In addition, in this embodiment, in order to avoid the desiccant bag 6 from deviating during the process of clamping the wire clamp 8 on the desiccant bag 6 by the clamping jaw cylinder 29 and clamping the wire clamp 8 on the desiccant bag 6, the process of clamping the wire clamp 8 on the desiccant bag 6 is performed before the desiccant bag 6 is cut open by the cutter 17. That is, a plurality of desiccant bags 6 are connected end to end during the conveying process of the desiccant conveying belt 15, and the desiccant bag 6 at the end reaches the placing position 16, but before the cutter 17 cuts the desiccant bag 6, the clamping jaw cylinder 29 pushes the wire clamp 8 to the desiccant bag 6 at the placing position 16 and clamps the wire clamp 8 on the desiccant bag 6. After clamping, the cutter 17 cuts the desiccant bag 6, the desiccant bag 6 is sucked by the suction nozzle 21, and finally the desiccant bag 6 is placed into the center cylinder 10 together with the wire clamp 8. In order to make the wire clamp 8 more smoothly clamped on the desiccant bag 6, the middle or front part of the desiccant bag 6 is set to have a thickness suitable for the opening and closing degree of the wire clamp 8 in this embodiment, so that the wire clamp 8 is not easy to fall off after clamping.In addition, the rotating and clamping finger cylinder can be a cylinder of model SMC MRHQ20D-90S. The rotating and clamping finger cylinder has rotating and clamping functions, so that the wire clamp 8 can be changed from a vertical state to a horizontal state, thereby providing a basis for subsequent insertion into the desiccant bag 6.

[0045] In an embodiment, a middle part of the conveying track 23 is provided with a vertical plate 32 matched with the wire clamp 8, the wire clamp 8 is attached to the vertical plate 32 in an erected posture for conveying, the mounting block 25 is provided with a vertical block 33 matched with the vertical plate 32 at the wire clamp stop position 26, and the mounting block 25 is provided with a stop plate 34 on a side of the vertical block 33 away from the conveying track 23.

[0046] In the above scheme, when the wire clamp 8 enters the mounting block 25 from the conveying track 23, the vertical block 33 and the vertical plate 32 are just synchronously docked, that is, the wire clamp 8 can directly fall into the vertical block 33 from the vertical plate 32 in a vertical conveying posture, and the wire clamp 8 is stopped at the stop plate 34 due to the action of the stop plate 34, so that the position of the wire clamp 8 is just the wire clamp stop position 26. When the moving direction of the output end of the second horizontal moving cylinder 27 is parallel to the conveying direction of the end part of the conveying track 23, and the second horizontal moving cylinder 27 is arranged on the side of the conveying track 23, the clamping jaw 30 can bring the wire clamp 8 away from the wire clamp stop position 26 from the rear of the mounting block 25, that is, from the side close to the conveying track 23, to the front, and place the wire clamp 8 into the central cylinder 10. When the moving direction of the output end of the second horizontal moving cylinder 27 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the end part of the conveying track 23, and the second horizontal moving cylinder 27 is arranged in front of the conveying track 23, the clamping jaw 30 can bring the wire clamp 8 away from the wire clamp stop position 26 from the rear of the mounting block 25, that is, from the side close to the conveying track 23, to the side, and place the wire clamp 8 into the central cylinder 10.

[0047] In an embodiment, the upper end surface of the stop plate 34 is not higher than the upper end surface of the vertical block 33.

[0048] In the above scheme, when the moving direction of the output end of the second horizontal moving cylinder 27 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the end part of the conveying track 23, and the second horizontal moving cylinder 27 is arranged in front of the conveying track 23, the wire clamp 8 needs to be grabbed and horizontally moved by the clamping jaw 30, the clamping jaw 30 can be designed to move in each of the front, rear, left and right directions of the mounting block 25, and the relative height between the stop plate 34 and the vertical block 33 can be designed such that the vertical block 33 is higher than the stop plate 34, so that the clamping jaw 30 can conveniently clamp the wire clamp 8.

[0049] In an embodiment, the inside of the pick-and-place gripper 5 of the gripper robot 1 is provided with a cloth bag.

[0050] In the above scheme, the wire coil 4 is in contact with the outside of the pick-and-place gripper 5, while the cloth bag placed inside the pick-and-place gripper 5 does not affect the gripping of the wire coil 4 by the gripper robot 1. After the cloth bag is designed, the wire clip 8 and the desiccant bag 6 can be placed into the center tube 10 without falling into and being stuck inside the pick-and-place gripper 5.

[0051] In an embodiment, the gripper 30 is provided with an L-shaped clamping part for increasing the contact area when clamping the consumables.

[0052] In an embodiment, the mounting block 25 is provided with a proximity sensor 35 at the bottom of the wire clip stop position 26, which is used to detect whether the wire clip stop position 26 has a wire clip 8 in place.
