Detailed Implementation
[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0037] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.
[0038] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.
[0039] Traditional shearing equipment often requires manual placement of materials into the material tray 3 when shearing or pressing materials, and then manual transfer of the material tray 3 to the corresponding feeding point. At the same time, empty material trays 3 also need to be manually collected. This requires a large amount of manpower, especially in mass production, where sufficient materials need to be prepared by personnel, making it impossible to undertake efficient and rapid production tasks.
[0040] Therefore, this application provides an automatic feeding processing device that can achieve automatic feeding.
[0041] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the automatic feeding processing equipment according to an embodiment of this application includes a feeding mechanism 10 and a processing mechanism 20.
[0042] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 10 includes a feeding component 11, a robot arm 12, a vision component 13, and a conveying component 14. The robot arm 12 moves between the feeding component 11 and the conveying component 14. The acquisition area of the vision component 13 corresponds to that of the robot arm 12. The output end of the conveying component 14 is connected to the processing mechanism 20.
[0043] In other words, the feeding component 11 is used for users to feed materials into the feeding mechanism 10. Users only need to pour the materials into the feeding component 11. The vision component 13 can locate the materials on the feeding component 11 and send the coordinates of the corresponding materials to the robot arm 12. The robot arm 12 grabs the corresponding materials according to the location of the materials by the vision component 13 and places the materials on the conveying component 14. The conveying component 14 then transports the materials to the processing mechanism 20, where the processing mechanism 20 processes the materials.
[0044] According to the embodiments of this application, the automatic feeding processing equipment utilizes the cooperation of vision component 13 and robot arm 12. The user only needs to pour the material into the feeding component 11. After the vision component 13 positions the material, the robot arm 12 grabs the material and transfers it to the conveying component 14. Then, the conveying component 14 transports the material to the processing mechanism 20, thereby achieving efficient and fast automatic feeding.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding assembly 11, the conveying assembly 14, and the processing mechanism 20 are arranged in a straight line, which simplifies the structural setup and production line layout.
[0046] When materials are poured into the feeding assembly 11, they may be positioned in various postures, such as with their sides facing up or tilted upwards, rather than with their main surface facing up as required. In this case, the robot arm 12 needs to correct the posture of the materials when grasping them, which affects the working efficiency of the robot arm 12. If not corrected, the materials cannot be processed in the posture required by the processing equipment. Therefore, in order to simplify the working process of the robot arm 12 and improve its working efficiency, the following automatic feeding processing equipment is proposed.
[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the automatic feeding processing equipment according to the embodiments of this application, the feeding component 11 includes a vibrator 111, the vibrator 111 includes a vibratory plate 112, and the robot arm 12 can transfer materials from the vibratory plate 112 to the conveying component 14.
[0048] In detail, the material enters the vibratory plate 112, and the vibrator 111 causes the vibratory plate 112 to vibrate, thereby shaking the material to ensure that the material is laid flat in the vibratory plate 112 with a large surface area. When the robot arm 12 grasps the material, there is no need to calibrate the posture of the material, thus improving the working efficiency of the robot arm 12.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the robotic arm 12 includes a first suction nozzle 121 for adsorbing materials.
[0050] According to the embodiments of this application, in order to shorten the time for the robotic arm 12 to grasp and release materials, a first suction nozzle 121 is provided. By simply controlling the switch of the vacuum generator, the first suction nozzle 121 can be used to adsorb or release materials, thereby improving the rhythm and efficiency of the robotic arm 12 in grasping and placing materials, and enabling more efficient material transfer.
[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying assembly 14 includes a first elevator 141, a conveying group 142, and a second elevator 143 arranged in sequence. The conveying group 142 includes at least two conveyor belts 1420 arranged along the Z-axis. The first elevator 141 is adjacent to the vibrator 111, and the second elevator 143 is away from the vibrator 111. Both the first elevator 141 and the second elevator 143 include a top support member that is movable along the Z-axis. The top support member can be moved to a position corresponding to the at least two conveyor belts 1420 respectively.
[0052] For example, the top support can move between a first position and a second position, with the top support in the first position corresponding to one conveyor belt 1420 and the top support in the second position corresponding to another conveyor belt 1420.
[0053] For ease of explanation, the conveyor belt 1420 corresponding to the top support being in the first position is defined as the first conveyor belt 1421, and the other conveyor belt 1420 corresponding to the top support being in the second position is defined as the second conveyor belt 1422.
[0054] The following is a detailed explanation, taking the placement of materials on the material tray 3 on the top support when the top support is in the first position:
[0055] When the top support in the first elevator 141 is in the first position, the material tray 3 placed on the top support is empty. The robot 12 transfers the material in the vibrating plate 112 to the material tray 3. After the material tray 3 is full of material, the first conveyor belt 1421 moves to move the material tray 3 to the second elevator 143 and into the processing equipment. At this time, the top support in the second elevator 143 is in the first position. After the material in the material tray 3 is taken out, the empty material tray 3 moves to the second position with the top support in the second elevator 143. The second conveyor belt 1422 moves to transport the material tray 3 to the first elevator 141. At this time, the top support in the first elevator 141 has moved from the first position to the second position. After the second conveyor belt 1422 transfers the empty material tray 3 to the top support in the first elevator 141, the top support in the first elevator 141 moves from the second position to the first position, waiting for the robot 12 to reload.
[0056] Understandably, this setup facilitates the recycling of material trays 3 and allows for the reuse of recycled material trays 3 for reloading. During production, this significantly reduces the number of material trays 3 required, as only a few trays 3 are needed for reloading, recycling, and reloading, thereby greatly improving production efficiency and saving labor.
[0057] The first and second positions are merely for the purpose of distinguishing the top support, which can be at different heights to facilitate the transfer of the material tray 3 between the two conveyor belts 1420.
[0058] In actual production and processing, the vibratory plate 112 of the vibratory machine 111 has a certain limit on the amount of material. When too much material is piled up in the vibratory plate 112, the effect of the material being vibrated to correct its posture is poor. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the amount of material in the vibratory plate 112, which requires the user to control the amount of material fed each time.
[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding assembly 11 further includes a linear feeder 113, the output of which corresponds to the vibrator 111. Thus, during feeding, the user only needs to pour the material into the linear feeder 113, which then slowly vibrates the material into the vibratory feeder 112. This allows for automatic control of the amount of material entering the vibratory feeder 112, preventing excessive feeding at once and resulting in material piling up in the vibratory feeder 112.
[0060] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the processing mechanism 20 includes a base 21, on which a loading station 211, a shearing station 212 and a unloading station 213 are arranged in sequence. The second elevator 143 is located at the loading station 211. The processing mechanism 20 also includes a transfer component 22, a shearing component 23 and a demolding component 24.
[0061] Specifically, the transfer assembly 22 moves between the loading station 211 and the shearing station 212; the shearing assembly 23 moves between the shearing station 212 and the unloading station 213, the shearing assembly 23 includes a shearing disc 231, the shearing disc 231 is provided with a closed ring-shaped shearing blade 232; the demolding assembly 24 is located at the unloading station 213, the demolding assembly 24 includes an ejector rod 241, the ejector rod 241 is movable in the Z-axis direction to pass through or out of the shearing blade 232.
[0062] In detail, the material is placed by the robotic arm 12 into the tray 3 on the conveying assembly 14. After the empty tray 3 is filled with material, it is conveyed by the conveying assembly 14 to the loading station 211. The transfer assembly 22 moves between the loading station 211 and the shearing station 212. At the loading station 211, the transfer assembly 22 grabs the material from the tray 3 (empty trays 3 are carried by the top support in the second elevator 143 to the second conveyor belt 1422 and eventually return to the top support of the first lifting component), and transfers the material to the shearing station 212. After moving the material to the shearing station 212, the transfer assembly 22 returns to the loading station 211. The material is re-grabbed and repeated. After the material is placed at the shearing station 212, the shearing component 23 moves between the shearing station 212 and the unloading station 213. At the shearing station 212, the shearing component 23 cuts the material through the shearing blades 232 on the shearing disc 231. The shearing blades 232 are configured as a closed ring structure. After the material is cut by the shearing blades 232, it will be embedded in the shearing blades 232. When the shearing component 23 moves from the shearing station 212 to the unloading station 213, the cut material will move synchronously from the shearing blades 232 to the unloading station 213, thereby realizing the transfer of the cut material.
[0063] When the shearing assembly 23 is at the unloading station 213, the ejector rod 241 of the demolding assembly 24 moves in the Z-axis direction and enters the shearing blade 232, thereby ejecting the material embedded in the shearing blade 232 and realizing the unloading of the material. After the material on the shearing assembly 23 is unloaded, the shearing assembly 23 moves from the unloading station 213 to the shearing station 212. After ejecting the material in the shearing blade 232, the ejector rod 241 will move in the Z-axis direction and pass out of the shearing blade 232 to avoid the shearing assembly 23 and facilitate the movement of the shearing assembly 23.
[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, the opening at the end of the shearing blade 232 near the base 21 is smaller than the opening at the end away from the base 21, which makes it less likely for material to fall out when it is embedded in the shearing blade 232.
[0065] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the processing mechanism 20 further includes a cleaning component 25, which is disposed between the shearing station 212 and the unloading station 213. When the shearing component 23 moves between the shearing station 212 and the unloading station 213, it can contact the working end of the cleaning component 25.
[0066] When the shearing component 23 moves between the shearing station 212 and the unloading station 213, it can contact the working end of the cleaning component 25. Specifically, the shearing component 23 can contact the working end of the cleaning component 25 when it moves from the unloading station 213 to the shearing station 212; or the shearing component 23 can contact the moving end of the cleaning component 25 when it moves from the shearing station 212 to the unloading station 213; or the shearing component 23 can contact the moving end of the cleaning component 25 during both the process of moving from the shearing station 212 to the unloading station 213 and the process of moving from the unloading station 213 to the shearing station 212.
[0067] As the shearing assembly 23 moves from the unloading station 213 to the shearing station 212, it comes into contact with the working end of the cleaning assembly 25. The cleaning assembly 25 cleans the shearing blade 232, facilitating its processing of the next material to be sheared. Conversely, as the shearing assembly 23 moves from the shearing station 212 to the unloading station 213, the contact with the working end of the cleaning assembly 25 cleans the material inside the shearing blade 232 and the cutting residue on the blade, resulting in a cleaner material and shearing blade 232.
[0068] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning assembly 25 includes a roller 251, which is rotatably mounted on the base 21, and a plurality of brushes 252 are provided on the roller 251.
[0069] In detail, the roller 251 is rotatably mounted on the base 21, and the roller 251 is provided with multiple brushes 252. During the rotation of the roller 251, the multiple brushes 252 are driven to rotate. When the shearing blade 232 comes into contact with the brushes 252, the brushes 252 rotate to clean the shearing blade 232.
[0070] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 21 is provided with a movable sliding seat 26, and the sliding seat 26 is provided with a transfer component 22 and a shearing component 23, which move synchronously.
[0071] Specifically, the sliding seat 26 is movably disposed on the base 21, and the sliding seat 26 is provided with a transfer component 22 and a shearing component 23, which move synchronously.
[0072] In other words, the sliding seat 26 reciprocates on the base 21. When the sliding seat 26 is in the first position, the transfer component 22 is at the loading station 211, and the shearing component 23 is at the shearing station 212. The transfer component 22 grips the material while the shearing component 23 shears the material. When the sliding seat 26 is in the second position, the transfer component 22 is at the shearing station 212, and the shearing component 23 is at the unloading station 213. The transfer component 22 places the sheared material at the shearing station 212, and the shearing component 23 places the sheared material at the unloading station 213. When the sliding seat 26 returns from the second position to the first position, the transfer component 22 is at the loading station 211, and the shearing component 23 is at the shearing station 212. The transfer component 22 grips the material again while the shearing component 23 shears the material again, and this process repeats. This improves the cycle time of material loading, shearing, and unloading, thus increasing the efficiency of material processing.
[0073] According to the automatic feeding processing equipment of the present application embodiment, when the sliding seat 26 moves on the base 21, it can realize the linkage of the shearing component 23 and the transfer component 22, so that the shearing component 23 and the transfer component 22 move synchronously, and the material gripping and shearing, as well as the material delivery and unloading can be carried out simultaneously, thereby improving the work efficiency of material processing.
[0074] The sliding seat 26 is mounted on the second sliding module, which is configured as a linear module.
[0075] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the transfer assembly 22 includes a suction cup 221, and a first drive group 261 and a second drive group 262 are provided on the sliding seat 26. The first drive group 261 and the suction cup 221 are connected in a transmission manner, and the second drive group 262 is connected in a transmission manner to the shear plate 231. Both the first drive group 261 and the second drive group 262 include a scissor lift frame 263, a slider 264, a guide rail 265, and a drive unit 266. The scissor frame is connected to the suction cup 221 or the shear plate 231. The movable side of the bottom end of the scissor lift frame 263 is connected to the slider 264. The slider 264 is movably locked on the guide rail 265, and the drive unit 266 is connected to the slider 264.
[0076] In detail, the suction cup 221 is used to adsorb materials, the scissor lift 263 in the first drive group 261 is connected to the suction cup 221, and the scissor lift 263 in the second drive group 262 is connected to the shearing disc 231.
[0077] Taking the connection between the scissor lift 263 and the suction cup 221 as an example, the fixed side of the bottom end of the scissor lift 263 is movably connected to the sliding seat 26, and the movable side of the bottom end of the scissor lift 263 is connected to the slider 264. The drive unit 266 is connected to the slider 264, thereby driving the slider 264 to move on the sliding seat 26 via the drive unit 266. When the movable side of the scissor lift 263 moves towards the fixed side, the suction cup 221 rises; when the movable side of the scissor lift 263 moves away from the fixed side, the suction cup 221 descends. By setting the scissor lift 263, the rapid rising and falling of the suction cup 221 can be achieved. The drive unit 266 can be configured as a cylinder.
[0078] The suction cup 221 descends to place or pick up materials, and rises to indicate that the material grabbing or delivery is complete. The shearing disc 231 descends to shear materials or to feed materials, and rises to indicate that the material shearing is complete, the material is ready to move, or the material delivery is complete and the material is ready to continue shearing.
[0079] Among them, the loading station 211, the shearing station 212 and the unloading station 213 are arranged sequentially along the X-axis.
[0080] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the shearing assembly 23 further includes a first sliding module 233, which is connected to the second drive group 262 and the shearing disk 231. The first sliding module 233 includes a first sliding group and a second sliding group connected to each other. One of the first sliding group and the second sliding group can move along the X-axis direction, and the other can move along the Y-axis direction.
[0081] In other words, one of the first and second sliding groups can move the shearing disc 231 along the X-axis, and the other can move it along the Y-axis. This allows for precise adjustment of the shearing disc 231 in both the X and Y axes, enabling accurate positioning and adjustment during initial assembly and debugging to ensure alignment with the material and improve shearing accuracy. The first and second sliding groups can be moved manually or driven by a power source. When moved manually, both groups connect to a micrometer structure, allowing the user to precisely adjust either group according to the scale.
[0082] In some embodiments, the first sliding group includes a first sliding block and a first power unit connected to each other, and the second sliding group includes a second sliding block and a second power unit connected to each other. The first sliding block is disposed on the second sliding block and is also connected to the shear disk 231.
[0083] Taking the movement of the first sliding block along the X-axis as an example, the first sliding group includes a first sliding block and a first power unit connected to each other, and the second sliding group includes a second sliding block and a second power unit connected to each other. The first sliding block is disposed on the second sliding block and is also connected to the shearing disk 231. In this way, the first sliding block moves along the X-axis under the drive of the first power unit and drives the shearing disk 231 to move along the X-axis. The second sliding block moves along the Y-axis under the drive of the second power unit and drives the first sliding block to move along the Y-axis, thereby driving the shearing disk 231 to move along the Y-axis.
[0084] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the transfer assembly 22 includes a suction cup 221 and a scraper assembly 222. The scraper assembly 222 is connected to the suction cup 221. The scraper assembly 222 includes a scraper 2221 and a third power unit 2222 connected to the scraper 2221. The third power unit 2222 can drive the scraper 2221 to move in the Z-axis direction toward or away from the shearing station 212. The scraper assembly 222 is located on the side of the suction cup 221 closer to the shearing assembly 23.
[0085] The scraper assembly 222 is connected to the suction cup 221 and moves together with the suction cup 221. When the shearing assembly 23 shears the material at the shearing station 212, some waste material will be cut off and left at the shearing station 212. When the sliding seat 26 moves from the first position to the second position, the third power unit 2222 drives the scraper 2221 to move downward, so that the scraper 2221 can scrape the waste material away from the shearing station 212 during the process of moving above the shearing station 212, so that the transfer assembly 22 can place the material back at the shearing station 212. When the sliding seat 26 moves from the second position to the first position, the third power unit 2222 drives the scraper 2221 to move upward, thereby preventing the scraper 2221 from interfering with other components during the translation process.
[0086] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the automatic feeding processing equipment according to an embodiment of this application further includes a pressurizing component 28.
[0087] Specifically, the pressurizing assembly 28 is located above the shearing station 212. The pressurizing assembly 28 includes a pressurizing plate 281 and a fourth power unit 282 connected to the pressurizing plate 281. The fourth power unit 282 drives the pressurizing plate 281 to move in the Z-axis direction to pressurize the shearing assembly 23.
[0088] In detail, after the shearing assembly 23 moves to the shearing station 212, the second drive group 262 drives the shearing disc 231 to move down to shear the material, and the fourth power unit 282 drives the pressure plate 281 to move down to apply pressure to the shearing assembly 23, so that the shearing blade 232 can obtain sufficient pressure to shear the material, ensuring that the material can be accurately formed according to the required shape.
