Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automatic feeding equipment technology, specifically to a flexible feeding vibratory plate and a flexible feeding system. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible feeding refers to the use of flexible feeding systems to screen, position / place products, and supply them to assembly production. With the increasing market demand for various electronic products, flexible feeding and vision systems have become a classic combination on electronic product production lines.

[0003] For example, a flexible feeding vibratory plate and flexible feeding system, with application number CN202220839957.5 and authorization announcement date 20220823, includes a material trough. The projection area of ​​the upper opening of the material trough onto the plane of its bottom surface is larger than the area of ​​its bottom surface and completely covers it. The portion of the inner wall of the circumference connecting the periphery of the upper opening and the periphery of the bottom surface ring is at least partially an inclined plane and / or inclined curved surface with an angle greater than 90° to the bottom surface. This utility model addresses the shortcomings of the existing flexible feeding vibratory plate structure and improves upon them. By improving the structure of the inner wall of the material trough, the portion of the inner wall connecting the circumference of the material trough and the periphery of the bottom surface ring is at least partially an inclined plane and / or inclined curved surface with an angle greater than 90° to the bottom surface. This reduces the obstruction when the picking robot picks up parts at the corners of the bottom surface and improves the feeding efficiency.

[0004] Flexible feeding vibratory feeders typically adjust the position of materials through vibration. The vibration causes the materials to flip and turn over, making it easier for subsequent equipment to grasp them. To ensure that the vibratory feeder can achieve the optimal vibration force, the vibration force of the vibratory feeder needs to be continuously adjusted. Since there are many types of materials, the adjustment process is quite complicated, which affects the feeding of materials. Therefore, it is urgent to design a flexible feeding vibratory feeder and a flexible feeding system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a flexible feeding vibratory plate, including a vibratory plate assembly 1. The vibratory plate assembly 1 includes a housing 3. A base plate 4 is bolted to the top outer wall of the housing 3, and grooves 5 are provided on both sides of the top outer wall of the base plate 4. A vibration table 12 is bolted to the inside of the housing 3, and a housing shell 9 passing through the housing 3 is bolted to the top outer wall of the vibration table 12. The top of the housing shell 9 has a groove 5, and two electric push rods 11 are bolted to both sides of the bottom inner wall of the housing shell 9. The output ends of the four electric push rods 11 are bolted to a vibratory plate 10 located inside the housing shell 9.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, a vibratory plate assembly 1 is included. The vibratory plate assembly 1 includes a housing 3. A base plate 4 is bolted to the top outer wall of the housing 3, and grooves 5 are provided on both sides of the top outer wall of the base plate 4. A vibration table 12 is bolted to the inside of the housing 3. The vibration table 12 is a small vibration motor table that can provide power for the vibration of the vibratory plate 10, so that the material on the vibratory plate 10 moves in a certain direction and forms an arrangement. A housing 9 passing through the housing 3 is bolted to the top outer wall of the vibration table 12. The top of the housing 9 has a groove 5, and two electric push rods 11 are bolted to both sides of the bottom inner wall of the housing 9. The electric push rods 11 are preferably of the THK model. The output ends of the four electric push rods 11 are bolted to the vibratory plate 10 located inside the housing 9. When the electric push rods 11 are activated, the position of the vibratory plate 10 is raised or lowered to meet the needs of vibrating and feeding different products under the same vibration force. This prevents lighter materials from jumping out of the vibratory plate 10 due to vibration, which helps to reduce the number of times the vibration force of the flexible vibratory plate is adjusted and reduces the difficulty of operating the equipment.

[0030] The present invention provides a flexible feeding vibratory plate. During the feeding process of the device, the electric push rod 11 can be activated according to the type of material, so that the position of the vibratory plate 10 can be raised or lowered to meet the needs of different products for vibratory feeding under the same vibration force. This prevents lighter materials from jumping out of the vibratory plate 10 due to vibration, which helps to reduce the number of times the vibration force of the flexible vibratory plate needs to be adjusted and reduces the difficulty of operating the device.

[0031] In one embodiment provided by the present invention, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, a conveyor belt 6 is embedded on one side of the top outer wall of the box 3, and the conveyor belt 6 passes through the groove 5. Both sides of the top outer wall of the box 3 are equipped with brackets 7 by bolts, and a vision module 8 is embedded in the center of the top outer wall of the bracket 7 by bolts. The vision module 8 is a high-definition camera designed based on mechanical vision technology.

[0032] A flexible feeding system, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the device includes an execution component 2, which includes a guide rail 14 and a transmission component 13. A sliding frame 15 is slidably connected to the outside of the guide rail 14, and the other end of the sliding frame 15 is set on the transmission component 13. A translation component 16 is bolted to the top outer wall of the sliding frame 15. A slide bar frame 19 is set on the top of the translation component 16, and a cylinder 20 is bolted to the top of the slide bar frame 19. The preferred model of the cylinder 20 is SC30*100. A mounting frame 17 is slidably connected to the outside of the slide bar frame 19 by bolts to the output end of the cylinder 20. When the cylinder 20 is activated, the mounting frame 17 will slide up and down on the slide bar frame 19. Electric grippers 18 are bolted to both outer walls of the mounting frame 17. The preferred model of the electric grippers 18 is the electric pneumatic intelligent gripper Zimmer robot L0084, which can grip materials on the vibratory plate 10.

[0033] In one embodiment provided by the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the transmission assembly 13 includes a housing 21. Inside the housing 21, a lead screw 22 is mounted via bearings, and a gear 24 is mounted on one end of the lead screw 22 via a key. A sensor 26 is mounted on the inner wall of one side of the housing 21 via bolts. The sensor 26 is a distance sensor that can detect the movement distance of the sliding frame 15, thereby achieving precise front-to-back movement adjustment of the mounting frame 17. A motor 23 is mounted on the inner wall of one side of the housing 21 via bolts. The preferred model of the motor 23 is 57BYGH650-23. A gear 25 is mounted on the output end of the motor 23 via a key. The gear 25 can rotate when the motor 23 starts, causing the gear 24 to rotate with the lead screw 22, which in turn causes the lead screw 22 to slide on the guide rail 14 with the sliding frame 15. The gear 25 and the gear 24 mesh with each other.

[0034] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the translation assembly 16 includes a mounting housing 27. A lead screw 30 is mounted inside the mounting housing 27 via bearings. A guide rod 28 is bolted between the inner walls of the two opposite sides of the mounting housing 27 near the bottom. The guide rod 28 guides the sliding block 29. The guide rod 28 is slidably connected to the slide block 29, which is threadedly connected to the lead screw 30. A servo motor 34 is embedded inside the slide block 29, and the top of the servo motor 34 is fixedly connected to the slide block frame 19. A sensor 35 is bolted to the inner wall of one side of the mounting housing 27 near the top. A gear 32 is mounted on one end of the outer side wall of the lead screw 30 via a flat key. A motor 31 is mounted inside the mounting housing 27 via bolts. The preferred model of the motor 31 is 57BYGH650-23. A gear 4 33 is mounted on the output end of the motor 31 via a flat key. When the motor 31 is started, the gear 4 33 will rotate with the gear 32, causing the lead screw 30 to slide on the guide rod 28 with the slide block 29. This causes the slide block 19 to move left and right with the electric gripper. The gear 4 33 and the gear 3 32 mesh with each other.

[0035] Working Principle: When feeding materials using this equipment, a separate robotic arm can be used to place the stacked carriers onto the conveyor belt 6. Then, another material conveyor belt is operated to feed the material onto the top of the vibratory plate 10. The vibrating table 12 is then activated, causing the vibratory plate 10 to vibrate, moving the material in a certain direction and arranging it. The vision module 8 then captures and detects the material. Based on the detection results, the translation component 16 and transmission component 13 are activated, causing the electric gripper 18 to move to the corresponding material position on the top of the vibratory plate 10. The cylinder 20 is then activated, causing the electric gripper 18 to drop and grab the material. The cylinder 20 is then activated again, causing the electric gripper 18 to rise while holding the material. The translation component 16 and transmission component 13 then move again, moving the electric gripper 18 to the position on the conveyor belt 6. The cylinder 20 is then activated, causing the electric gripper 18 to drop, thus placing the material onto the carrier on the conveyor belt 6. The system will activate, causing the electric gripper 18 to rise. Subsequently, the servo motor 34 will activate, causing the slide bar 19 to rotate. In conjunction with the activation of the translation component 16 and the transmission component 13, the other electric gripper 18 that grips the material will rotate to the other side, so that the gripped material can be placed on the carrier device on the conveyor belt 6. This allows two materials to be placed at a time. After one carrier device is assembled, another robotic arm can be used to place the stacked carrier devices back onto the conveyor belt 6, enabling the flexible feeding system to continuously assemble and feed materials. During the feeding process, the electric push rod 11 can be activated according to the type of material, causing the vibratory plate 10 to rise or fall. This meets the vibration feeding needs of different products under the same vibration force, preventing lighter materials from jumping off the vibratory plate 10 due to vibration. This reduces the number of times the vibration force of the flexible vibratory plate needs to be adjusted, thus reducing the difficulty of operating the equipment.

[0036] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
