[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, an automated assembly line for tableware products includes two worktables 1, each worktable 1 being composed of several aluminum profiles fixed together. The surface of each worktable 1 is provided with a feeding assembly 2 for conveying handles and a feeding assembly 3 for conveying tableware workpieces 10. It should be noted that the tableware workpieces 10 are manufactured using a multi-cavity mold production process. Specifically, the feeding assembly 2 includes a feeding bin 21, a feeding guide rod 23, a feeding slide rail 25, a feeding slider 24, a first drive motor 26, and a feeding channel 22. The bottom of the feeding bin 21 is provided with a feeding channel 22, and the feeding guide rod 23 is slidably installed inside the feeding channel 22. The feeding guide rod 23 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the feeding slider 24. Block 24 is driven and connected to the unloading slide rail 25. The first drive motor 26 is driven and connected to the unloading slide rail 25. With this configuration, the shaft of the first drive motor 26 can drive the conveyor belt on the surface of the unloading slide rail 25 to reciprocate from right to left. Its internal drive structure adopts a roller and conveyor belt drive method. In this way, the conveyor belt in the unloading slide rail 25 can drive the unloading slider 24 to move together. When the unloading slider 24 moves, it will drive the unloading guide rod 23 to slide inside the unloading channel 22. The loading assembly 3 includes a material placement plate 31, a loading slider 34, a first screw 35, a second drive motor 36, a loading guide support plate 37, a second screw 38, a guide slider 381, a slider side plate 382, ​​and a loading top plate 383. The surface of the material placement plate 31 is provided with several material support rods 32 and a feeding channel 33. The tableware workpieces 10 are stacked on the material placement plate 31. One side of the material placement plate 31 is connected to a feeding slider 34. The feeding slider 34 is driven by a first screw 35. One end of the first screw 35 is driven by a second drive motor 36. The bottom of the worktable 1 is provided with a feeding guide support plate 37. The inside of the feeding guide support plate 37 is provided with a second screw 38. One end of the second screw 38 is driven by a third drive motor 39. The surface of the second screw 38 is driven by a guide slider 381. A slider side plate 382 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the guide slider 381. A top feeding plate 383 is fixedly installed on the top of the feeding channel 33. The top feeding plate 383 can freely enter and exit the interior of the feeding channel 33. With this configuration, the tableware workpieces 10 are stacked on the material placement plate 31. When stacked, the material support rod 32 plays a supporting and limiting role to prevent the tableware workpieces 10 from scattering. Whenever it is necessary to transport the tableware workpieces 10, the shaft of the third drive motor 39 drives the second screw 38. When the second screw 38 rotates, it drives the guide slider 381 to move upward. When the guide slider 381 moves upward, it drives the slider side plate 382 and the top feeding plate 383 to move upward. The top feeding plate 383 can extend into the interior of the feeding channel 33 to push the tableware workpieces 10 upward so that subsequent processes can grasp the tableware workpieces 10.If the number of tableware workpieces 10 on one of the material placement plates 31 is insufficient, the second drive motor 36 will drive the first screw 35 to rotate. The rotation of the first screw 35 will cause the feeding slider 34 to slide, which in turn will cause the material placement plate 31 to slide. This will slide the other material placement plate 31 to the designated position, allowing the next step of the process to proceed.

[0030] In this embodiment, the workbench 1 is further provided with a shearing assembly 4 for shearing the tableware workpiece 10. A first automatic feeding assembly 5 is provided between the shearing assembly 4 and the feeding assembly 3. The first automatic feeding assembly 5 transports the tableware workpiece 10 to the shearing assembly 4. Specifically, the first automatic feeding assembly 5 includes a first support column 51, a first sliding rail 52, a first slider 53, a first lifting cylinder 54, a first clamping cylinder 55, and a first pulley 56. The first support column 51 is fixedly installed on the surface of the workbench 1. The first sliding rail 52 is fixedly installed on the top of the first support column 51. Two first sliders 53 are slidably connected to the surface of the first sliding rail 52. One end of each first slider 53 is fixedly installed with... A first lifting cylinder 54 is provided, and two first clamping cylinders 55 are fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic shaft of the first lifting cylinder 54. Each first clamping cylinder 55 can clamp the tableware workpiece 10. First pulleys 56 are provided at both ends of the first sliding track 52. At least one end of the first pulley 56 is driven by a fourth drive motor 57. A first conveyor belt is driven between the two first pulleys 56. Each first slider 53 is connected to the surface of the first conveyor belt. With this configuration, each time the tableware workpiece 10 is gripped, the drive shaft of the fourth drive motor 57 rotates, driving one of the first pulleys 56 to rotate. The rotation of one first pulley 56 drives the other first pulley 56 via the first conveyor belt. The first slider 53 is able to slide and adjust its position until it moves above the material placement plate 31. Then, the telescopic shaft of the first lifting cylinder 54 extends, driving the first clamping cylinder 55 to move downward. Then, the first clamping cylinder 55 clamps the tableware workpiece 10. After clamping, the telescopic shaft of the first lifting cylinder 54 retracts. Similarly, the first slider 53 slides and adjusts its position until it moves above the shearing assembly 4. The shearing assembly 4 includes a first rotary platform 42, a fifth drive motor 41, a shearing support plate 43, a second lifting cylinder 44, a shearing blade 46, and a clamping column. The fifth drive motor 41 is installed at the bottom of the worktable 1, and the first rotary platform 42 is set on the surface of the worktable 1. The fifth drive motor 41 is driven by the first... A rotary platform 42 is provided. The shearing support plate 43 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the first sliding track 52. A second lifting cylinder 44 is fixedly installed on the surface of the shearing support plate 43. A shearing transition block 45 is fixedly installed at the end of the second lifting cylinder 44. A shearing blade 46 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shearing transition block 45. With this configuration, each time the tableware workpiece 10 is sheared, the telescopic shaft of the second lifting cylinder 44 extends and drives the shearing support plate 43 to move downward. When the shearing support plate 43 moves, it drives the shearing blade 46 to move downward. The shearing blade 46 cuts the tableware workpiece 10, causing the workpiece at the end of the tableware to fall downward. After each shearing is completed, the shaft of the fifth drive motor 41 drives the first rotary platform 42 to rotate.The position of the tableware workpiece 10 is adjusted accordingly. After adjustment, the shearing blade 46 will continue to perform the shearing process. It should be noted that a vision sensor is also installed on the side wall of the first sliding track 52. This vision sensor is used to detect whether the shearing assembly 4 has finished shearing the tableware workpiece 10. Each time shearing is completed, the first automatic feeding assembly 5 will transport the waste material from the tableware workpiece 10 to the outside.

[0031] In this embodiment, an automatic assembly component 6 and a second automatic feeding component 7 are provided between the shearing component 4 and the unloading component 2. The second automatic feeding component 7 transports the sheared tableware workpiece 10 to the automatic assembly component 6, and the automatic assembly component 6 automatically assembles the sheared tableware workpiece 10 with the handle. Specifically, the second automatic feeding component 7 includes a first material collecting plate 71, a second slider 72, a sliding platform 73, a sixth drive motor 74, a second sliding track 75, a third slider 76, a third lifting cylinder 77, a suction cup support plate 78, and a material suction cup 79. The bottom of the first material collecting plate 71 is connected to several second sliders 72, and the second sliders 72 are connected to the sliding platform 73. The sliding platform 73 is driven by a sixth drive motor 74 at the bottom. A second sliding track 75 is vertically installed on the side wall of the first sliding track 52. A third slider 76 is slidably connected to the surface of the second sliding track 75. A third lifting cylinder 77 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the third slider 76. A suction cup support plate 78 is fixedly installed at the end of the third lifting cylinder 77. Several material suction cups 79 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the suction cup support plate 78. The material suction cups 79 are pneumatically suctioned and can suck up parts inside the first material collection plate 71. With this configuration, the first material collection plate 71 is used to collect the cutter ends of the tableware after being cut by the cutting blade 46. After collection, the sixth drive motor 74... The rotating shaft of the drive motor 74 drives the sliding platform 73 to move. When the sliding platform 73 moves, it moves the first material collection plate 71 on its surface to the far right. Then, the third slider 76 slides on the surface of the second sliding track 75. After sliding to the designated position, the telescopic shaft of the third lifting cylinder 77 extends until the material suction cup 79 picks up each workpiece. Then, the telescopic shaft of the third lifting cylinder 77 retracts, and the third slider 76 drives the third lifting cylinder 77 to move above the automatic assembly component 6. The automatic assembly component 6 includes the second material collection plate 62, the third material collection plate 64, the second rotating platform 61, the fifth lifting cylinder 66, the pressing support plate 63, the eighth drive motor 69, the pressing transition plate 67, and the material pressing plate 68. The grip rotation mounting assembly 9 is included. The second rotary platform 61 is located on one side of the sliding platform 73. The second rotary platform 61 is drive-connected to the eighth drive motor 69 at the bottom. The third material collecting plate 64 and the second material collecting plate 62 are both fixedly mounted on the surface of the second rotary platform 61. The pressing support plate 63 is fixedly mounted on one side of the third sliding track 82. A fifth lifting cylinder 66 is fixedly mounted on the pressing support plate 63. A pressing transition plate 67 is fixedly mounted at the end of the fifth lifting cylinder 66. A material pressing plate 68 is fixedly mounted at the end of the pressing transition plate 67. The material pressing plate 68 can press the material inside the third material collecting plate 64 and the second material collecting plate 62. With this configuration,The third slider 76 drives the third lifting cylinder 77 to move above the second material collecting plate 62. Then, the material suction cup 79 shuts off the air supply, and the workpiece falls into the interior of the second material collecting plate 62. Next, the shaft of the eighth drive motor 69 drives the second rotary platform 61 to rotate, thus swapping the positions of the third material collecting plate 64 and the second material collecting plate 62. Then, the telescopic shaft of the fifth lifting cylinder 66 drives the pressing transition plate 67 and the material pressing plate 68 downwards until the material pressing plate 68 presses the workpiece inside the second material collecting plate 62. Finally, the handle of the cutlery is assembled by rotating the handle mounting assembly 9.

[0032] In this embodiment, the surface of the worktable 1 is further provided with a third automatic feeding component 8, which transports the processed products to the outside. Specifically, the third automatic feeding component 8 includes a second support column 81, a third sliding rail 82, a fourth slider 83, a second pulley 85, a seventh drive motor 84, a fourth lifting cylinder 88, and a second clamping cylinder 87. A second support column 81 is also installed on the surface of the worktable 1 and on the other side of the second sliding rail 85. The end of the second support column 81 is provided with the third sliding rail 82. The surface of the third sliding rail 82 is provided with a fourth slider 83. The two ends of the third sliding rail 82 are provided with second pulleys 85, and at least one of the second pulleys 85... A seventh drive motor 84 is connected to the side drive, and the second pulleys 85 at both ends are driven by a second drive belt. The fourth slider 83 is fixedly installed on the surface of the second drive belt. A fourth lifting cylinder 88 is provided on the surface of the fourth slider 83. A clamping support plate 86 is provided at the bottom of the fourth lifting cylinder 88. The clamping support plate 86 is slidably connected to the surface of the fourth slider 83. Several second clamping cylinders 87 are provided at the ends of the clamping support plate 86. With this arrangement, before the handle rotation mounting assembly 9 works, the telescopic shaft of the fourth lifting cylinder 88 will extend downward to drive the clamping support plate 86. When the clamping support plate 86 slides downward, it will drive the second clamping cylinders 87 to move downward. The second clamping cylinders 87 move to the second material collection point. When the workpiece is clamped inside the plate 62, the handle rotation mounting assembly 9 includes a rotation support frame 91, a mounting channel 92, a first rotating wheel 93, a sixth lifting cylinder 94, a rotating wheel support block 95, a second rotating wheel 96, and a ninth drive motor 97. The left side of the unloading assembly 2 has a rotation support frame 91, and the inside of the rotation support frame 91 has a mounting channel 92. The mounting channel 92 and the unloading channel 22 are on the same axis. Several first rotating wheels 93 are rotatably mounted inside the rotation support frame 91 and on one side of the mounting channel 92. Five sixth lifting cylinders 94 are fixedly mounted on the top of the rotation support frame 91. A rotating wheel support block 95 is fixedly mounted at the end of each sixth lifting cylinder 94. The block 95 has a rotatable second rotating wheel 96 inside. A ninth drive motor 97 is mounted on the side wall of the rotating support frame 91. The ninth drive motor 97 is connected to each first rotating wheel 93 via a third transmission belt. With this configuration, whenever the unloading guide rod 23 pushes the handle from the unloading channel 22 into the installation channel 92, the telescopic shaft of the sixth lifting cylinder 94 extends, driving the rotating wheel support block 95. As the rotating wheel support block 95 moves downward, it drives the second rotating wheel 96 downward until the second rotating wheel 96 presses against the surface of the workpiece. Then, the shaft of the ninth drive motor 97 drives the first rotating wheel 93 to rotate. When the first rotating wheel 93 rotates, it drives the handle inside the installation channel 92 to rotate. At this time, the unloading guide rod 23 only needs to continuously apply force to the left.The handle will then rotate to the inside of the top of the cutlery, completing the automatic assembly between the cutlery top and the handle. After assembly, the shaft of the seventh drive motor 84 will drive at least one second pulley 85 to rotate. This, in turn, will cause the second pulleys 85 at both ends to drive the second transmission belt. The movement of the second transmission belt will drive the fourth slider 83. The movement of the fourth slider 83 will then drive the clamping support plate 86 and the second clamping cylinder 87 to move to the outside. Once the plate reaches the designated position, the second clamping cylinder 87 will stop working, and the processed cutlery will fall to the designated position.

[0033] The workflow of this invention:

[0034] First, the tableware workpieces 10 are stacked on the material placement plate 31. During stacking, the material support rod 32 provides support and limits to prevent the tableware workpieces 10 from scattering. Then, the tableware workpieces 10 are conveyed. The shaft of the third drive motor 39 drives the second screw 38. When the second screw 38 rotates, it drives the guide slider 381 to move upward. When the guide slider 381 moves upward, it drives the slider side plate 382 and the feeding top plate 383 to move upward. The feeding top plate 383 can extend into the feeding channel 33 to push the tableware workpieces 10 upward. If the number of tableware workpieces 10 on one of the material placement plates 31 is insufficient, the motor of the second drive motor 36 drives the first screw 35 to rotate. When the first screw 35 rotates, it drives the feeding slider 382 to move upward. 4. When the feeding slider 34 slides, it will drive the material placement plate 31 to slide, thus sliding the material placement plate 31 on the other side to the designated position. Then, when the drive shaft of the fourth drive motor 57 rotates, it can drive one of the first pulleys 56 to rotate. When one first pulley 56 rotates, it will drive the other first pulley 56 through the first conveyor belt. In this way, the first conveyor belt can drive the first slider 53 to slide and adjust its position until it moves above the material placement plate 31. Then, the telescopic shaft of the first lifting cylinder 54 extends and drives the first clamping cylinder 55 to move downward. Then, the first clamping cylinder 55 will clamp the tableware workpiece 10. After clamping, the telescopic shaft of the first lifting cylinder 54 retracts. Then, similarly, the first slider 53 slides and adjusts its position until it is transported to the first rotating platform. On the surface of 42, the telescopic shaft of the second lifting cylinder 44 extends and drives the shearing support plate 43 to move downward. When the shearing support plate 43 moves, it drives the shearing blade 46 to move downward. The shearing blade 46 cuts the tableware workpiece 10, causing the workpiece at the end of the tableware to fall downward. After each cut is completed, the shaft of the fifth drive motor 41 drives the first rotary platform 42 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the tableware workpiece 10. After the adjustment is completed, the shearing blade 46 will continue to move downward to perform the cutting process. It should be noted that a vision sensor is also installed on the side wall of the first sliding track 52. The vision sensor is used to detect whether the shearing assembly 4 has finished cutting the tableware workpiece 10. After the cutting is completed, the first material collection plate 71 is used to collect the tableware workpiece 10. After the cutter blade 46 collects the cutter ends of the tableware, the sixth drive motor 74 drives the sliding platform 73 to move. As the sliding platform 73 moves, it moves the first material collection plate 71 to the far right. Then, the third slider 76 slides on the surface of the second sliding track 75. After sliding to the designated position, the telescopic shaft of the third lifting cylinder 77 extends until the material suction cup 79 picks up each workpiece. Then, the telescopic shaft of the third lifting cylinder 77 retracts, and the third slider 76 drives the third lifting cylinder 77 to move above the second material collection plate 62. Then, the material suction cup 79 shuts off its air supply, and the workpiece falls into the interior of the second material collection plate 62. Finally, the eighth drive motor 69 drives the second rotary platform 61 to rotate.This achieves the positional interchange of the third material collection plate 64 and the second material collection plate 62. Then, the telescopic shaft of the fifth lifting cylinder 66 drives the pressing transition plate 67 and the material pressing plate 68 downwards until the material pressing plate 68 presses the workpiece inside the second material collection plate 62. Next, the rotating shaft of the first drive motor 26 drives the conveyor belt on the surface of the unloading slide rail 25 to move from right to left. This allows the conveyor belt in the unloading slide rail 25 to drive the unloading slider 24 to move together. When the unloading slider 24 moves, it drives the unloading guide rod 23 to slide to the left inside the unloading channel 22. Then, after the unloading guide rod 23 pushes the handle from the unloading channel 22 into the installation channel 92, the telescopic shaft of the sixth lifting cylinder 94 extends and drives the rotating wheel support block 95. When the rotating wheel support block 95 moves downwards, it drives the second rotating wheel 96 downwards until... The second rotating wheel 96 presses against the surface of the workpiece. Then, the shaft of the ninth drive motor 97 drives the first rotating wheel 93 to rotate. As the first rotating wheel 93 rotates, it drives the handle inside the mounting channel 92 to rotate. At this time, the feeding guide rod 23 only needs to apply continuous force to the left, and the handle will rotate to the inside of the top of the tableware, completing the automatic assembly between the top of the tableware and the handle. Finally, after assembly, the shaft of the seventh drive motor 84 drives at least one second pulley 85 to rotate. This causes the second pulleys 85 at both ends to drive the second transmission belt between them. The movement of the second transmission belt drives the fourth slider 83. The movement of the fourth slider 83 drives the clamping support plate 86 and the second clamping cylinder 87 to move to the outside. After moving to the designated position, the second clamping cylinder 87 stops working, and the processed tableware falls to the designated position.
