Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of motor assembly and processing, and more specifically, to a loading and unloading device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of modern manufacturing, efficient and accurate automatic loading and unloading technology plays a key role in ensuring smooth production processes and improving production efficiency and product quality. At present, the loading and unloading methods of many manufacturing companies are mainly manual operation and basic mechanical assistance.

[0003] There are obvious shortcomings in manual loading and unloading. The operation speed is slow and it is difficult to meet the needs of mass production for efficient output. In addition, long-term manual work is prone to fatigue, and different operators have different habits and skill levels, which makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy of material placement, greatly affecting the stability of product quality. For example, in the production of precision parts, deviations in manual material placement will lead to insufficient subsequent processing accuracy, making the product unable to meet quality standards.

[0004] Although the existing conventional mechanically assisted loading and unloading equipment has improved production efficiency to a certain extent, it has significant defects when facing the complex loading scenarios of multi-layer material boxes. It should be noted that there is a partition board between each layer of material, and this type of equipment lacks an effective caching mechanism for the partition boards. The equipment cannot handle these partition boards properly, resulting in the partition boards being stacked at random. This not only takes up a lot of production space, but also makes it very easy for materials to be accidentally mixed in during operation, causing production interruptions and seriously damaging product quality. Moreover, the disorderly stacking of a large number of partition boards also increases the difficulty of finding and taking them, further slowing down the production process.

[0005] In the current trend of production efficiency and product quality being equally important, and production mode moving towards intelligence and flexibility, the existing loading and unloading technology can no longer meet the strict requirements of modern production. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an innovative automatic loading and unloading device that can effectively cache the partition plates between each layer of materials in the same material box, thereby significantly improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and effectively promoting the entire production industry to develop in the direction of high quality.

Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the loading and unloading device provided in the embodiment of the present application is now described. The loading and unloading device comprises: The loading station, the partition buffer station and the unloading station are arranged in sequence along the horizontal direction; A conveying slide rail 1, which is arranged along a first horizontal direction and connects the loading station, the partition buffer station and the unloading station; The loading station is provided with a horizontal loading plate 2, and the loading plate 2 is slidably arranged on a vertical loading slide rail 3, and the loading plate 2 is controlled to slide along the loading slide rail 3; A plate-taking robot 4 that reciprocates in the vertical direction is arranged above the partition cache station; the partition cache station is also provided with a partition cache plate 5; the partition cache plate 5 is controlled to reciprocate between a first position and a second position, the first position is located within the path of the plate-taking robot 4, and the second position is located outside the path of the plate-taking robot 4; The unloading station is provided with a horizontal unloading plate 6, and the unloading plate 6 is slidably arranged on a vertical unloading slide rail 7; the unloading plate 6 is controlled to slide along the unloading slide rail 7; A material box transport frame 8, the material box transport frame 8 is slidably arranged on the conveying slide rail 1, and is controlled to slide along the conveying slide rail 1, and a material box block 9 is arranged on the material box transport frame 8, and the material box block 9 is controlled to be combined with or separated from the side of the material box; The inner frame diameter of the material box transport frame 8 is larger than the outer frame diameter of the material box.

[0028] The automatic loading and unloading device of this embodiment is intended to achieve efficient and accurate loading and unloading of materials and proper handling of the partition plate. The device is mainly composed of a loading station, a partition plate buffer station, a unloading station, a conveying slide rail 1, a loading plate 2, an unloading plate 6, a plate-taking manipulator 4, a partition plate buffer plate 5, and a material box transport frame 8. Through the coordinated operation of various components, the full process automation operation is realized from loading the material box with materials, to buffering the partition plate, and then to unloading the empty material box.

[0029] The working process is as follows: Loading preparation and start: In the initial state, the material box transport frame 8 stays at the loading station, and the loading plate 2 is in a low position, ready to receive the material box with materials. The loading plate 2 lifts the material box with materials and slides along the loading slide rail 3 into the frame defined by the material box transport frame 8. At this time, the material box block 9, under the action of the driving component, tightly presses against the side of the material box with materials, completing the preliminary preparation of the loading station.

[0030] Material retrieval and partition processing cycle: After the first layer of material in the material box is taken away, the material box transport frame 8 immediately drives the material box to move to the partition cache station. The plate retrieval robot 4 quickly picks up the partition board exposed after the first layer of material is taken away. At the same time, the partition cache plate 5 quickly moves to the first position to accurately receive the partition board. Subsequently, the partition cache plate 5 moves to the second position to avoid obstruction to the subsequent movement of the plate retrieval robot 4. Next, the material box transport frame 8 drives the material box back to the loading station again to take away the second layer of material. Repeat the above operation and continue the cycle until all the materials in the material box are taken away.

[0031] Unloading process: When all the materials in the material box are taken out, the material box transport frame 8 drives the empty material box to move to the unloading station. When the bottom of the empty material box is accurately located on the unloading plate 6, the material box clamp 9 is released. The unloading plate 6 then moves downward, and the empty material box is smoothly removed from the material box transport frame 8 in the vertical direction. Finally, the empty material box is taken away at a low position, completing the entire unloading and loading process.

[0032] This embodiment effectively solves the problem of lack of effective caching mechanism for partition plates in multi-layer material boxes by designing a special plate-taking robot 4 and partition buffer plates 5, thereby avoiding the situation where partition plates are randomly stacked, occupy space, mix with materials and slow down the production process.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the controlled sliding of the loading plate 2 along the loading slide 3 can be achieved by the cooperation of the motor and the lead screw nut mechanism. A motor specifically driving the loading plate 2 is installed next to the loading station of the device. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the lead screw. When the motor is started, the output shaft drives the lead screw to rotate. The nut on the lead screw is firmly connected to the loading plate 2. As the lead screw rotates, the nut can only move linearly along the axial direction of the lead screw due to the threaded fit with the lead screw, thereby driving the loading plate 2 connected thereto to slide up and down along the loading slide 3. The forward and reverse control of the motor is regulated by the electrical signal sent by the control system. When the loading plate 2 needs to rise, the control system sends a forward signal to the motor, and the forward rotation of the motor drives the loading plate 2 to rise; when the loading plate 2 needs to descend, the control system sends a reverse signal, and the motor reverses to cause the loading plate 2 to descend.

[0034] The motion control principle of the unloading plate 6 is similar to that of the loading plate 2, and also adopts a motor and a lead screw nut mechanism. A driving motor is arranged at the unloading station of the device, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the lead screw, and the nut on the lead screw is fixed to the unloading plate 6. When all the materials are taken out and the empty material box needs to be unloaded, the control system sends a command to the motor, and the operation of the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the nut moves linearly, thereby pushing the unloading plate 6 to move downward along the unloading slide rail 7. By adjusting the speed of the motor, the speed at which the unloading plate 6 descends can be accurately controlled to ensure that the empty material box exits the material box transport frame 8 smoothly and safely. The steering control of the motor is also determined by the electrical signal sent by the control system. Forward rotation is used for the descending operation of the unloading plate 6. In some scenarios where the unloading plate 6 needs to be reset, the unloading plate 6 can be raised back to the initial position by sending a reverse signal.

[0035] The movement of the material box transport frame 8 relies on the motor-driven chain transmission mechanism. A driving motor is installed at one end of the conveying slide 1, and a driving sprocket is fixed on the output shaft of the motor. A driven sprocket is installed at the other end of the conveying slide 1, and a chain is wrapped around the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket, and the chain is connected to the material box transport frame 8. When the motor is started, the driving sprocket starts to rotate driven by the motor output shaft. Due to the meshing relationship between the chain and the sprocket, the chain will move with the rotation of the driving sprocket, and then drag the material box transport frame 8 connected to it to move linearly along the conveying slide 1. The control system realizes the forward and backward movement of the material box transport frame 8 on the conveying slide 1 by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor. For example, when it is necessary to transport a material box with materials to the loading station, the control system controls the motor to rotate forward so that the material box transport frame 8 moves toward the loading station; when it is necessary to transport an empty material box to the unloading station, the control system controls the motor to reverse, and the material box transport frame 8 moves toward the unloading station. At the same time, by adjusting the rotation speed of the motor, the moving speed of the material box transport frame 8 can also be controlled to adapt to different production rhythms.

[0036] The main body of the plate-removing robot 4 consists of a robot arm and a vacuum adsorption device installed at the end of the robot arm. When the robot arm moves to a suitable position above the separator plate, the vacuum adsorption device starts to work. The vacuum adsorption device is mainly composed of a suction cup, a vacuum pump and a connecting pipeline. The vacuum pump starts to extract the air in the suction cup through the connecting pipeline to form a negative pressure environment in the suction cup. Since the suction cup is in close contact with the upper surface of the separator plate, the separator plate is firmly adsorbed on the suction cup under the action of atmospheric pressure.

[0037] In this embodiment, a fixed plate 14 is arranged above the partition plate buffer station, and a vertical plate-taking slide rail 16 is arranged on the fixed plate 14. The plate-taking manipulator 4 is slidably arranged on the plate-taking slide rail 16 through a plate-taking slider, and the plate-taking slider is controlled to slide along the plate-taking slide rail 16. More specifically, the mechanical arm of the plate-taking manipulator 4 is fixed to the plate-taking slider, and the mechanical arm is driven by the plate-taking slider to move in the vertical direction.

[0038] In this embodiment, the sliding of the plate taking slider on the plate taking slide rail 16 can be pneumatic. Specifically, a double-acting cylinder is installed on one side of the fixed plate 14, and the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the plate taking slider. The flow direction of the compressed air is changed by controlling the electromagnetic reversing valve. When the compressed air enters the rodless chamber of the cylinder, the piston rod extends to push the plate taking slider to slide downward along the plate taking slide rail 16; when the compressed air enters the rod chamber, the piston rod retracts, driving the plate taking slider to slide upward. The flow rate of the compressed air can be controlled by adjusting the throttle valve, thereby adjusting the movement speed of the plate taking slider. It should be noted that the sliding of the plate taking slider on the plate taking slide rail 16 can also be electric or hydraulic.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the partition cache station is further provided with a horizontal partition transport plate 10, and the partition transport plate 10 is slidably arranged on a vertical partition slide rail 11, and the partition transport plate 10 is controlled to slide along the partition slide rail 11.

[0040] The loading and unloading device is further optimized on the original basis, and a key component, the partition transport plate 10, is newly added. At the partition cache station, in addition to the plate taking manipulator 4 taking and placing the partition plate by vertically moving the plate taking slider along the plate taking rail 16, a horizontal partition transport plate 10 is also provided, which is slidably arranged on the vertical partition rail 11 and can slide along the partition rail 11 in a controlled manner. The entire device realizes the integrated and automated process of material loading and unloading, partition plate caching and partition plate transportation through the coordinated operation of various components.

[0041] The working process of the partition transport plate 10 is as follows: Preparation for receiving the partition board: When the board-taking robot 4 takes out the partition board from the material box and places it on the partition buffer board 5 of the partition buffer station, the initial position of the partition transport board 10 is at a lower position.

[0042] Upward transport process: the control system issues a command to drive the partition transport plate 10 to slide upward along the vertical partition slide rail 11. The partition transport plate 10 stops when it rises to a specific height position.

[0043] The partition board on the partition board buffer plate 5 is transferred to the partition board transport plate 10 by a mechanical structure (such as a push plate or an adsorption device). Here, a board taking robot 4 can be used.

[0044] Downward transportation and placement: After the partition transport plate 10 takes over the partition board, the control system issues another instruction to drive the partition transport plate 10 to slide downward along the partition slide rail 11. After the partition board is transported to the designated position, the partition board is taken away.

[0045] The provision of the partition transport plate 10 realizes the automated transportation of the partition plates from the buffer position to the final storage or processing position, further improves the partition plate management process, reduces manual intervention, and improves the overall automation level of production.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the figure, a cache slide rail 13 is arranged above the partition cache station along the second horizontal direction, and the partition cache plate 5 is controlled to slide along the cache slide rail 13 to achieve reciprocating motion between a first position and a second position, the first position is located in the path of the plate retrieval robot 4, and the second position is located outside the path of the plate retrieval robot 4, and the skew surface in the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.

[0047] Initial state: the partition plate buffer plate 5 is located at the second position on the buffer slide rail 13, outside the path of the plate taking robot 4, so as to avoid obstruction to the plate taking robot 4 in taking out the partition plate from the material box.

[0048] Action after taking the board: After the board taking robot 4 takes out the partition board from the material box, the control system sends a command to drive the partition board cache plate 5 to slide along the cache slide rail 13 to the first position, that is, within the path of the board taking robot 4, ready to receive the partition board.

[0049] Receiving and returning: After the partition buffer plate 5 reaches the first position, it receives the partition plate placed by the plate retrieval robot 4, and then is controlled to slide along the buffer slide rail 13 back to the second position, reaching above the position corresponding to the partition transport plate 10.

[0050] The sliding of the partition buffer plate 5 on the buffer slide rail 13 avoids spatial obstruction in the working area of ​​the plate retrieval robot 4. At the same time, the partition plate buffer position can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual production layout, further improving the utilization efficiency of the production space and making the production site layout more reasonable.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the two conveying rails 1 are arranged in parallel on both sides of the loading station, and the material box transport frame 8 includes two frame plates respectively slidably arranged on the two conveying rails 1, and connecting plates respectively connected to the ends of the two frame plates, and a clamping cylinder is arranged on the frame plate, and the clamping cylinder drives the material box clamping block 9 to move to achieve combination or separation with the side of the material box.

[0052] The two frame plates of the material box transport frame 8 are respectively slidably arranged on the conveying slide rails 1 parallel to the two sides of the loading station. When the device starts the relevant transport instruction, the frame plates slide along the conveying slide rails 1, driving the entire material box transport frame 8 to move. For example, in the initial stage, the material box transport frame 8 will move along the slide rails to the loading station, ready to receive the material box with materials.

[0053] When the material box transport frame 8 moves to the appropriate position of the loading station, the block cylinder on the frame plate starts. The block cylinder drives the material box block 9 to move, so that the material box block 9 is tightly combined with the side of the material box, thereby firmly fixing the material box in the material box transport frame 8. In this way, the material box can remain stable when the material box moves with the conveying frame and performs subsequent operations such as loading and partition plate processing. When all the materials in the material box are taken out and the empty material box needs to be transported to the unloading station, the block cylinder moves again to control the material box block 9 to separate from the side of the material box, so that the material box can be smoothly transported to the unloading station by the conveying frame.

[0054] Two parallel conveying slide rails 1 cooperate with the material box transport frame 8 composed of a frame plate and a connecting plate to build a stable structure for material box transportation. During transportation, this structure can effectively reduce the shaking or deviation of the material box, ensuring that the material box can move smoothly between the loading station, the partition buffer station and the unloading station, improving the stability and reliability of the entire loading and unloading process, and ensuring the smooth progress of the production process. The material box block 9 is controlled by the block cylinder to engage or separate with the side of the material box, which is easy to operate and has a high degree of automation. When the material box needs to be fixed, the material box block 9 can be quickly and accurately made to fit tightly with the side of the material box to prevent the material box from being displaced during transportation; and when the material box needs to be released, it can be quickly separated to facilitate the material box to enter the next process. This convenient operation method further speeds up the operation speed of loading and unloading, thereby improving the overall production efficiency.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it also includes a material taking manipulator 12 arranged next to the loading station and / or the unloading station. It also includes a feeding conveyor belt 15 arranged next to the loading station and / or the unloading station. The loading and unloading device of this embodiment also adds a material taking manipulator 12 arranged next to the loading station and / or the unloading station, and a feeding conveyor belt 15 arranged next to the loading station and / or the unloading station. The material taking manipulator 12 is responsible for accurately grabbing materials from the material box, and the feeding conveyor belt 15 is used to transport materials, further improving the material loading and unloading process.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the two loading slide rails 3 are arranged in parallel below the loading station, and the loading plate 2 is controlled to slide along the two loading slide rails 3. The two unloading slide rails 7 are arranged in parallel below the unloading station, and the unloading plate 6 is controlled to slide along the two unloading slide rails 7.

[0057] Two parallel loading rails 3 are located below the loading station, providing more stable support and guidance for the loading plate 2. Compared with a single rail, two rails can better disperse the weight of the loading plate 2 when carrying a material box with materials, reduce the shaking and deviation of the loading plate 2 during the sliding process, ensure a smooth and accurate loading process, improve the stability and reliability of loading, and thus ensure the smooth progress of subsequent production processes. Similarly, two parallel unloading rails 7 are arranged below the unloading station, providing stable support for the unloading plate 6. When the unloading plate 6 carries an empty material box and slides downward along the unloading rail 7, the double rail structure can effectively prevent the unloading plate 6 from tilting, jamming and other problems due to uneven force, ensuring that the empty material box can smoothly and reliably exit the material box transport frame 8 in the vertical direction, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the unloading process.

[0058] In this embodiment, the loading station and the unloading station are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the partition buffer station. The loading station and the unloading station are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the partition buffer station, making the spatial layout of the entire device more compact and reasonable. This symmetrical layout helps to reduce the equipment footprint, improve the space utilization rate of the production site, and facilitate the arrangement of more production equipment or other production activities in a limited space, saving production costs for the enterprise.

[0059] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

[0060] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
