Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mattress manufacturing technology, specifically to an automated device for installing natural magnetic clips into the middle layer of a mattress. Background Technology

[0002] A magnetic therapy mattress is a type of home furnishing product. As the name suggests, it is a mattress with magnetic therapy effects. It can act on the human body through magnetic fields and treat diseases. Simply put, it is a mattress in which magnets are evenly placed in the middle layer. To concentrate the magnetic lines of force, a semi-enclosed electroplated metal shell is added to the surface of the magnets. The magnets with the semi-enclosed electroplated metal shell are also called magnetic buckles. During the installation process, a robotic arm is needed to precisely install the magnetic buckles into the grooves on the surface of the middle layer of the mattress.

[0003] The existing magnetic clips are installed in the grooves on the surface of the middle layer of the mattress. The manual separation of the magnetic clips and their individual feeding and transfer reduces the work efficiency. Mechanical feeding is also inefficient because the magnetic properties of the magnetic clips cause them to attract each other and clump together, making it impossible for the robotic arm to pick up individual magnetic clips for installation.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and proposed an automated device that facilitates the installation of natural magnetic clips into the middle layer of the mattress. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an automated device for installing natural magnetic clips into the middle layer of a mattress, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automated device for installing natural magnetic clips into the middle layer of a mattress, comprising a feeding assembly, a transmission assembly, and an installation assembly. The feeding assembly includes a feeding tube box, an opening slot, a support plate, a feeding conveyor belt, and a magnetically shielding dividing plate. The bottom of the inner wall of the feeding tube box has an opening slot, and support plates are provided on both sides of the opening slot. The feeding conveyor belt is provided inside the support plate, and the surface of the feeding conveyor belt is distributed with magnetically shielding dividing plates. The transmission assembly is located below the end of the feeding tube box and includes a material transmission belt and dividing grooves. Dividing grooves are evenly distributed on the surface of the material transmission belt. The installation assembly is located above the end of the material transmission belt.

[0007] Furthermore, a set of transmission rollers is arranged parallel to the end of the material transmission belt, and a mattress middle layer body is placed on the surface of the transmission roller set. The surface of the mattress middle layer body is provided with mounting grooves in an array.

[0008] Furthermore, the installation assembly includes a guide rail, an electric trolley, an electric lifting push rod, and a mounting plate. The electric trolley is slidably connected inside the guide rail, and electric lifting push rods are fixed at both ends of the electric trolley. The mounting plate is fixed at the bottom of the electric lifting push rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting assembly also includes a perforated plate, and the mounting plate is connected to the perforated plate by support rods at both ends of its bottom.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting assembly also includes a spring, a through rod, and an arc-shaped partition. Springs are provided on both sides of the holes on the surface of the perforated plate, and a through rod is inserted inside the spring. An arc-shaped partition is fixed to the top of the through rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the arc-shaped partition extends through the interior of the holes on the surface of the perforated plate, and the arc-shaped partition is elastically connected to the perforated plate by a spring.

[0012] Furthermore, the arc-shaped partitions are arranged in groups of two, with each group of arc-shaped partitions corresponding one-to-one with the mounting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting assembly also includes gripper cylinders, and the surface of the mounting plate is provided with gripper cylinders at equal intervals.

[0014] Furthermore, the gripper cylinder is located directly above the holes on the perforated plate surface, and the gripper cylinder is perpendicular to the mattress middle layer body.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting assembly also includes a flexible gripper, which is connected to the bottom of the gripper cylinder through the hole on the surface of the perforated plate, and the flexible gripper is located parallel to the inner side of the arc-shaped partition.

[0016] This invention provides an automated device for installing natural magnetic clips into the middle layer of a mattress, which has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This automated device facilitates the installation of natural magnetic buckles in the middle layer of a mattress. During the circulating transmission of the magnetic separator plate, adjacent magnetic buckles are separated from each other. After being separated, the magnetic buckles are transported to the bottom of the feeding tube box by a feeding conveyor belt and discharged one by one. The feeding conveyor belt is driven by a motor, and the transmission speed of the feeding conveyor belt is matched with the transmission speed of the magnetic buckle, so that each falling magnetic buckle can fall exactly into the separating groove on the surface of the feeding conveyor belt. This allows the magnetic buckles to be fed quickly and effectively separated from each other, thus solving the problems of low efficiency of manual individual feeding and easy attraction between magnetic buckles caused by mechanical feeding. This greatly improves the feeding speed of magnetic buckles, thereby indirectly improving the overall work efficiency.

[0018] 2. This automated device facilitates the installation of natural magnetic clips into the middle layer of a mattress. Each set of arc-shaped partitions is inserted into the corresponding mounting groove. A sliding channel is formed between two arc-shaped partitions in the same set. At this time, the flexible gripper releases its grip on the magnetic clip, and the magnetic clip slides down along the sliding channel and falls into the mounting groove. This prevents the magnetic clips falling in the same row from adhering to each other and shifting in the air due to the obstruction of the arc-shaped partitions. Therefore, it is more suitable for installing magnetic clips on the middle layer of a mattress with a small gap between the mounting grooves. This also facilitates the creation of more densely packed mounting grooves on the surface of the middle layer of the mattress, thereby indirectly providing technical conditions for product upgrades of magnetic therapy mattresses.

[0019] 3. This automated device facilitates the installation of natural magnetic snap fasteners in the middle layer of the mattress. The curved partition is elastically connected to the perforated plate by springs. When the magnetic snap fastener is clamped, it is pushed between the curved partitions. As the electric lifting push rod continues to extend, the curved partition rises in a de facto manner while the perforated plate descends. At this time, the spring is stretched, and the flexible gripper descends in an open shape to wrap around the magnetic snap fastener. Then, the gripper cylinder makes the flexible gripper clamp the magnetic snap fastener, which makes it easy for the magnetic snap fastener to be pushed directly under the flexible gripper for stable clamping.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0032] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: an automated device for installing natural magnetic buckles in the middle layer of a mattress, including a feeding component 1, a transmission component 2, and an installation component 3. The feeding component 1 includes a feeding tube box 101, an opening groove 102, a support plate 103, a feeding conveyor belt 104, and a magnetically shielding dividing plate 105. The bottom of the inner wall of the feeding tube box 101 is provided with an opening groove 102, and the two sides of the opening groove 102 are provided with support plates 103. The feeding conveyor belt 104 is provided inside the support plate 103, and the surface of the feeding conveyor belt 104 is distributed with magnetically shielding dividing plates 105. The transmission component 2 is located below the end of the feeding tube box 101. The transmission component 2 includes a material transmission belt 201 and a dividing groove 202. The surface of the material transmission belt 201 is uniformly provided with dividing grooves 202. The installation component 3 is located above the end of the material transmission belt 201.

[0033] The specific operation is as follows: the magnetic buckles are stacked in the shape of coins and attracted to each other to form a cylindrical structure. The cylindrical stacked magnetic buckles are manually inserted into the feeding tube box 101. The magnetic buckles slide down the inside of the feeding tube box 101 until they reach the support plate 103. At this time, the motor drives the feeding conveyor belt 104 to drive the magnetic isolation dividing plate 105 in a cycle. During the cycle, the magnetic isolation dividing plate 105 is inserted into the bottom between the magnetic buckles when the left end of the feeding conveyor belt 104 moves in an arc from bottom to top. This separates the adjacent magnetic buckles. The optimal shape of the magnetic buckles here is a Go piece-shaped structure. This structure makes the middle of the magnetic buckle bulge outward and thins at the edge. At this time, the magnetic buckles attract each other from the bulging part in the middle, so that there is a gap at the edge part, that is, the bottom of the magnetic buckle.

[0034] Secondly, the spacing between the magnetic separator plates 105 is adapted to the arrangement of the magnetic buckles. Furthermore, the feeding conveyor belt 104 is positioned at the bottom of the feeding tube box 101 with a slightly inclined structure. This means the end of the magnetic separator plate 105 furthest from the unloading end of the feeding tube box 101 is lower, allowing the magnetic separator plate 105 to move in an arc from bottom to top to insert between the magnetic buckles. After the arc movement, the magnetic separator plate 105 moves in an inclined straight line, gradually inserting itself from the bottom between the magnetic buckles during its movement, thus completing the separation between the magnetic buckles. The magnetic separator plate 105 has a magnetic shielding effect, preventing the magnetic buckles from being attracted to each other through the magnetic separator plate 105. The magnetic buckles are limited on both sides by the magnetic separator plate 105 and do not require fixed positioning. When the magnetic buckles reach the bottom of the feeding tube box 101, the magnetic separator plate 105 moves in an arc from top to bottom due to the transmission, thus... The magnetic buckles slide down one by one, and after being separated, they are transported by the feeding conveyor belt 104 to the bottom of the feeding tube box 101 and discharged one by one. The feeding conveyor belt 201 is driven by a motor, and the transmission speed of the feeding conveyor belt 201 is matched with the transmission speed of the feeding conveyor belt 104. The magnetic buckles are located between the magnetic isolation dividing plates 105, and their positions are fixed in a certain area. As long as the magnetic buckles are located in this area, and the transmission speed of the feeding conveyor belt 201 is matched with the transmission speed of the feeding conveyor belt 104, each falling magnetic buckle can fall exactly into the dividing groove 202 on the surface of the feeding conveyor belt 201. This allows the magnetic buckles to be fed quickly and effectively separated from each other, thus solving the problems of low efficiency of manual individual feeding and easy mutual attraction between magnetic buckles caused by mechanical feeding. This is conducive to greatly improving the feeding speed of magnetic buckles, thereby indirectly improving the overall work efficiency.

[0035] like Figures 1-10 As shown, a transmission roller group 4 is arranged parallel to the end of the material transmission belt 201, and a mattress middle layer body 5 is placed on the surface of the transmission roller group 4. The surface of the mattress middle layer body 5 is provided with mounting groove positions 6 in an array.

[0036] The specific operation is as follows: during the feeding process, the installation groove 6 on the surface of the mattress middle layer body 5 also moves to the surface of the transmission roller group 4 after the glue is injected. The transmission roller group 4 drives the processed mattress middle layer body 5 to approach the end of the material transmission belt 201 so that it can wait for the installation operation.

[0037] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the mounting assembly 3 includes a guide rail 301, an electric trolley 302, an electric lifting push rod 303, and a mounting plate 304. The electric trolley 302 is slidably connected inside the guide rail 301, and the electric lifting push rod 303 is fixed to both ends of the electric trolley 302. The mounting plate 304 is fixed to the bottom of the electric lifting push rod 303. The mounting assembly 3 also includes a perforated plate 305, and the mounting plate 304 is connected to the perforated plate 305 through support rods at both ends of its bottom. The mounting assembly 3 also includes a spring 306, a through rod 307, and an arc-shaped partition 308. Springs 306 are provided on both sides of the holes on the surface of the perforated plate 305, and through rods 307 are passed through the inside of the springs 306. The arc-shaped partition 308 is fixed to the top of the through rod 307. The partition 308 penetrates the interior of the perforated plate 305, and the arc-shaped partition 308 is elastically connected to the perforated plate 305 by a spring 306. The arc-shaped partitions 308 are arranged in groups of two, and each group of arc-shaped partitions 308 corresponds one-to-one with the mounting groove 6. The mounting assembly 3 also includes a gripper cylinder 309. The gripper cylinders 309 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the mounting plate 304. The gripper cylinders 309 are located directly above the perforated plate 305 and are perpendicular to the mattress middle layer body 5. The mounting assembly 3 also includes a flexible gripper 310. The bottom of the gripper cylinder 309 penetrates the perforated plate 305 and is connected to the flexible gripper 310. The flexible gripper 310 is parallel to the inner side of the arc-shaped partition 308.

[0038] The specific operation is as follows: At the start of the installation, the electric trolley 302 moves along the guide rail 301 to the top of the material conveyor belt 201. At this time, each flexible gripper 310 is positioned above a corresponding material conveyor belt 201. When the separating groove 202 carrying the magnetic buckle reaches directly below the flexible gripper 310, the material conveyor belt 201 stops moving. At this time, the electric lifting push rod 303 extends downwards, causing the arc-shaped partition 308 to descend and preferentially enter the separating groove 202. If the magnetic buckle is located inside the separating groove 202 near the side, it will be affected by the arc-shaped partition... The lowering of the plate 308 is pushed between the arc-shaped partitions 308, and then the electric lifting push rod 303 continues to extend downward. At this time, the spring 306 is stretched upward by force, and the perforated plate 305 can continue to carry the flexible claw 310 downward. At the same time, the flexible claw 310 descends in an open shape to wrap around the magnetic buckle. Then, the claw cylinder 309 makes the flexible claw 310 clamp the magnetic buckle. After that, the magnetic buckle is clamped and lifted out of the partition groove 202 and moved to the top of the middle layer body 5 of the mattress. Specifically, the magnetic buckle is clamped and located directly above the installation groove position 6.

[0039] Then, the electric lifting push rod 303 extends, causing the arc-shaped partition 308 to descend again, so that each group of arc-shaped partitions 308 is inserted into the corresponding mounting groove 6. A sliding channel is formed between two arc-shaped partitions 308 in the same group. At this time, the flexible claw 310 releases its grip on the magnetic buckle, and the magnetic buckle slides down along the sliding channel and falls into the mounting groove 6. Thus, the magnetic buckles falling in the same row are prevented from adsorbing each other and shifting in the air due to the obstruction of the arc-shaped partition 308. This is more suitable for installing magnetic buckles on the mattress middle layer body 5 with small spacing between the mounting grooves 6. This also helps to open more dense mounting grooves 6 on the surface of the mattress middle layer body 5, thereby indirectly providing technical conditions for product upgrades of magnetic therapy mattresses.

[0040] In summary, this automated device for installing natural magnetic snaps into the middle layer of a mattress works by first manually inserting the cylindrical, stacked magnetic snaps into the feeding tube box 101. The magnetic snaps slide down the inside of the feeding tube box 101, and the feeding conveyor belt 104 driven by the motor drives the magnetic isolation dividing plate 105 to circulate. During the circulation of the magnetic isolation dividing plate 105, it is inserted into the bottom between the magnetic snaps when the left end of the feeding conveyor belt 104 moves in an arc from bottom to top, thereby separating the adjacent magnetic snaps. After the magnetic snaps are separated, they are transported by the feeding conveyor belt 104 to the bottom of the feeding tube box 101 and discharged one by one. The conveyor belt 201 is driven by the motor, and the transmission speed of the conveyor belt 201 is matched with the transmission speed of the feeding conveyor belt 104, so that each fallen magnetic snap can fall into the dividing groove 202 on the surface of the conveyor belt 201.

[0041] During the feeding process, the magnetic buckle also moves to the surface of the transmission roller group 4 after the glue is injected into the installation groove 6 on the surface of the mattress middle layer body 5. The transmission roller group 4 drives the processed mattress middle layer body 5 to approach the end of the material transmission belt 201 so that it can wait for the installation operation.

[0042] At the start of the installation operation, the electric trolley 302 moves along the guide rail 301 to the top of the material conveyor belt 201. At this time, each flexible gripper 310 is positioned above a corresponding material conveyor belt 201. When the separating groove 202 carrying the magnetic buckle reaches directly below the flexible gripper 310, the material conveyor belt 201 stops moving. At this time, the electric lifting push rod 303 extends downward, causing the arc-shaped partition 308 to descend and preferentially enter the separating groove 202. If the magnetic buckle is located inside the separating groove 202 near the side, it will be affected by the arc-shaped partition 308. The descent of 8 is pushed between the arc-shaped partitions 308, and then the electric lifting push rod 303 continues to extend downward. At this time, the spring 306 is stretched upward by force, and the perforated plate 305 can continue to carry the flexible claw 310 downward. At the same time, the flexible claw 310 descends in an open shape to wrap around the magnetic buckle. Then, the claw cylinder 309 makes the flexible claw 310 clamp the magnetic buckle. After that, the magnetic buckle is clamped and lifted out of the partition groove 202 and moved to the top of the mattress middle layer body 5. Specifically, the magnetic buckle is clamped and located directly above the installation groove position 6.

[0043] Then the electric lifting push rod 303 extends, causing the arc-shaped partition 308 to descend again, so that each group of arc-shaped partitions 308 is inserted into the corresponding mounting groove 6. A downward channel is formed between the two arc-shaped partitions 308 in the same group. At this time, the flexible gripper 310 releases its grip on the magnetic buckle, and the magnetic buckle slides down along the downward channel and falls into the mounting groove 6. Thus, the magnetic buckles falling in the same row are prevented from adsorbing each other and shifting in the air by the obstruction of the arc-shaped partition 308.
