[0002] As the manufacturing industry develops rapidly towards intelligence and efficiency, CNC machine tools are increasingly used in the processing of molded parts. However, in the traditional production model, the loading and unloading of molded parts is still highly dependent on manual operation, and there are significant technical bottlenecks: first, the efficiency of manual handling is low, the processing time of a single piece is usually more than 25 seconds, and the labor intensity is high, which is difficult to adapt to the needs of continuous production; second, the accuracy of manual visual inspection is unstable, and the rate of missed detection of micron-level surface defects is as high as 1.2%, which easily leads to unqualified products flowing into subsequent processes and increasing rework costs.

The changeover time is as long as more than 30 minutes, which restricts the flexible production of multiple varieties; in addition, the motion path planning of the robotic arm relies on a fixed trajectory, which is easy to interfere with the CNC machine tool processing area in space, there is a risk of equipment collision, and the maintenance cost is high.

[0035] See also Figure 1-5The present application provides an automatic loading and unloading device for molded parts for CNC machine tools, including a frame 1, a loading mechanism 3, a unloading mechanism 4, a loading conveyor 2, and a visual inspection mechanism 7. In this embodiment, the loading mechanism 3 is installed on the frame 1, and the loading mechanism 3 is used to operate the molded parts 9; the unloading mechanism 4 is installed on the frame 1, and the unloading mechanism 4 is used to load the molded parts 9 and operate the molded parts 9; the loading conveyor 2 is installed between the loading mechanism 3 and the unloading mechanism 4, and the loading conveyor 2 is used to transport the molded parts 9 to the workstation corresponding to the loading mechanism 3 for unloading; the visual inspection mechanism 7 is installed on the loading conveyor 2, and is used to inspect the surface of the molded parts 9 during the process of transporting and operating the molded parts 9, operate and load the qualified parts, and remove the unqualified parts. Specifically, the frame 1 adopts a high-strength square tube welded frame, and the surface is sandblasted for rust prevention. The feeding mechanism 3 is responsible for grabbing the molded parts 9 from the feeding conveyor 2 and accurately transferring them to the molded parts tray 8, and the unloading mechanism 4 is mainly responsible for loading and transporting the molded parts tray 8. The feeding conveyor 2 uses a double-chain conveyor belt with a width of 500mm and an adjustable speed of 0.1-1.5m / s. The surface is paved with polyurethane anti-skid pads. Three groups of photoelectric sensors are set along the conveying direction, corresponding to the preparation station, inspection station and sorting station respectively, with a positioning accuracy of ±0.2mm. The visual inspection mechanism 7 integrates top, side and bottom CCD cameras to achieve defect detection of molded parts 9 without dead angles.

The vacuum suction cup 34 for adsorbing the molded part 9 for operation is installed on the slide 51 of the vertical linear module 32 through a bracket. Specifically, the feeding mechanism 3 realizes the rapid grasping, precise positioning and stable transfer of the molded part 9 through the coordinated design of the high-precision linear module and the vacuum adsorption system. The horizontal linear module 31 adopts a roller guide type linear module (model HGR35-2000), the guide cross-section size is 35×35mm, and the X-axis travel is 2000mm. The vertical linear module 32 uses a ball screw type module (ZTA30-500), the Z-axis travel is 500mm, and the maximum load is 30kg. The suction cup 34 includes 6 Φ80mm polyurethane suction cups 34 arranged in a 2×3 matrix with a spacing of 150mm, covering the center of gravity area of the workpiece (maximum size 400×300mm), air generator: SMC ZH10DS (203a), air extraction rate 150L / min, vacuum degree -80kPa, response time ≤0.1s, pressure monitoring: built-in piezoelectric sensor (203b, range -100~0kPa, accuracy ±0.5%FS), real-time monitoring of adsorption status.
[0037] When the vertical linear module 32 descends to 2mm from the workpiece surface, the vacuum generator starts pre-vacuuming; after the suction cup 34 contacts the workpiece, the pressure sensor monitors the vacuum degree. If it reaches -60kPa within 0.5s, it is determined that the adsorption is successful; if the adsorption fails (such as workpiece offset or leakage), the vertical module is lifted 10mm, and the horizontal module fine-tunes the position and tries again. An alarm will be issued after a maximum of 3 times.
[0038] In this embodiment, the unloading mechanism 4 includes a lifting assembly, which includes a vertical drive module 5 and a clamping cylinder 52. Two groups of vertical drive modules 5 are provided, and the two groups of vertical drive modules 5 are vertically installed on the frame 1. A positioning frame is installed on the slide 51 of the vertical drive module 5; the positioning frame is installed with a clamping cylinder 52 for clamping the middle of the molded part tray 8. The two groups of vertical drive modules 5 are symmetrically installed on the columns on the left and right sides of the frame 1, and the module spacing matches the width of the tray (600×400mm) (spacing 450mm) to ensure uniform force during the lifting process and avoid tilting of the tray. The clamping cylinder 52 is symmetrically installed on both sides of the middle of the positioning frame, and the clamping point is located at 1 / 2 of the length direction of the tray to ensure uniform distribution of the clamping force.
[0039] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the unloading mechanism 4 also includes an unloading conveyor 10 installed between the two groups of vertical drive modules 5, including an upper unloading conveyor 101 and a lower unloading conveyor 102. The upper unloading conveyor 101 is arranged on the upper side between the two groups of vertical drive modules 5, and docks with the loading conveyor 2 and the loading mechanism 3; the lower unloading conveyor 102 is arranged on the lower side between the two groups of vertical drive modules 5, and is used to operate a fully loaded molded parts tray 8. Specifically, the upper unloading conveyor 101 is flush with the end of the loading conveyor 2, receives qualified workpieces and transports them to the storage area. In other embodiments, a positioning stop mechanism can be set: an aluminum alloy baffle driven by a cylinder 45, with a positioning accuracy of ±0.2mm, to ensure that the tray is accurately docked. Both the upper unloading conveyor 101 and the lower unloading conveyor 102 use a practical belt transmission mechanism.
[0040] In this embodiment, the unloading mechanism 4 also includes a running assembly 6 for pushing the molded material tray 8 to the vertical drive module 5 for clamping. The running assembly 6 includes a transverse guide rail 42, a longitudinal guide rail 43, a drive module, a cylinder 45, and a guide platform 46. The transverse guide rail 42 is arranged in two groups in parallel. The guide platform 46 is installed on the two groups of transverse guide rails 42. The guide platform 46 is provided with a longitudinal guide rail 43. Two groups of clamping drive modules 44 are slidably connected to the longitudinal guide rail 43. The two groups of clamping drive modules 44 are both installed with clamping plates for clamping the molded material tray 8 along the outer side. The guide platform 46 is also connected with a cylinder 45 for driving the guide platform 46 to move on the transverse guide rail 42. The transverse guide rail 42 uses two groups of heavy-duty linear slide rails (section 45×45mm, stroke 1200mm) arranged in parallel. The surface hardness of the guide rail is HRC60, the preload force is adjustable, and mechanical limit blocks are set at both ends of the slide rail to prevent the guide platform 46 from overtravel. The guide platform 46 adopts a steel plate welded frame (thickness 10mm), with 4 sets of self-lubricating sliders installed at the bottom, which cooperate with the transverse guide rail 42. The central installation hole of the guide platform 46 is reserved for fixing the longitudinal guide rail 43 and the cylinder 45. The longitudinal guide rail 43 is a single slide rail structure with nickel-plated surface and equipped with a ball slider. The two sets of clamping drive modules 44 are built-in 400W servo motor + ball screw drive, with a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.02mm, and a polyurethane cushion is embedded on the inner side of the splint, and the contact surface pressure is ≤1.5MPa.
[0041] In this embodiment, the visual inspection mechanism 7 includes a top inspection CCD camera 71, a side inspection CCD camera 72, and a bottom inspection CCD camera 73. Specifically, the top inspection CCD camera 71 is installed on the top of the feeding conveyor 2 through a bracket, and is used to take pictures and inspect the top surface of the molded part 9; two groups of side inspection CCD cameras 72 are provided, which are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the feeding conveyor 2, and are used to take pictures and inspect the front and rear sides of the molded part 9; the bottom inspection CCD camera 73 is installed at the bottom position between the feeding conveyor 2 and the unloading mechanism 4, and is used to take pictures and inspect the bottom of the molded part 9 after the feeding mechanism 3 lifts the molded part 9. Specifically, the top detection CCD camera 71 is installed directly above the feeding conveyor 2 through an adjustable bracket, the bracket height is adjustable in the range of 800-1200mm, and the pitch angle is adjustable by ±15°. The side detection CCD camera 72 is installed on the side plate of the feeding conveyor 2, and the bottom detection CCD camera 73 is fixed on the bottom platform between the feeding conveyor 2 and the unloading mechanism 4, shooting vertically upward, the platform height is 200mm from the ground, the protection level is IP67, and it is dust and oil proof. The top detection CCD camera 71, the side detection CCD camera 72, and the bottom detection CCD camera 73 are all Basler acA2500-60gm, with a resolution of 2592×1944, a frame rate of 60fps, and a pixel size of 4.8μm. In this embodiment, photoelectric sensors are provided at the installation positions of the top detection CCD camera 71, the side detection CCD camera 72, and the bottom detection CCD camera 73 along the feeding conveyor 2. When the workpiece arrives at the detection station, the photoelectric sensor sends a trigger signal and the three groups of cameras are exposed synchronously (exposure time 0.5ms).
[0042] In this embodiment, a rotary cylinder 11 is connected to the lower side of the feeding mechanism 3, and a reject conveyor 12 is placed on one side of the feeding mechanism 3. The rotary cylinder 11 is used to drive the feeding assembly to operate the reject parts 9 to be conveyed on the reject conveyor 12 after the visual inspection mechanism 7 detects the unqualified parts. The rotary cylinder 11 model is SMC CDRB2BW30-180S, the reject conveyor has an inclination angle of 10°, a width of 300mm, a length of 2000mm, and a PU synchronous belt for conveying at a speed of 1.0m / s. In other embodiments, the end is connected to a waste box with a capacity of 500L, a weighing sensor is installed at the bottom, and an overweight alarm is provided.
[0043] Working process: the feeding conveyor 2 conveys the molded part 9 to the place. After being detected by the photoelectric sensor, the top CCD camera starts when the workpiece is stationary. The annular light source illuminates the top surface of the workpiece with vertical light to collect images. The CCD cameras on both sides simultaneously turn on the strip light source to capture the front and rear wall textures with 45° oblique light. The horizontal linear module 31 receives the PLC instruction and drives the servo motor to drive the suction cup 34 assembly to move along the X-axis to above the raw material tray. The vertical linear module 32 starts to descend. After the suction cup 34 contacts the surface of the molded part 9, the vacuum generator is activated. When the adsorption force reaches 0.6 bar, the pressure sensor feedbacks the signal, and the vertical module immediately lifts the molded part 9 to a safe height. The bottom CCD camera uses a coaxial light source to fill in the bottom surface of the workpiece. When the image processing is qualified, the operating component 6 of the unloading mechanism 4 drives the molded part tray 8 to the place, and the feeding mechanism 3 is loaded. Then it is operated to the lower unloading conveyor 102 through the vertical drive module 5 for operation. The unqualified molded parts 9 are moved to the rejecting conveyor 12 for operation through the action of the rotary cylinder 11 of the feeding mechanism 3.
[0044] This technical solution integrates the functions of loading, conveying, inspection, sorting and unloading. Through the coordinated control of high-precision linear modules and vacuum suction cups, it can realize the rapid grasping and precise positioning of molded parts. Compared with traditional manual operation, the loading and unloading cycle of a single piece is shortened from 25 seconds to less than 8 seconds, and the production efficiency is improved by more than 200%. At the same time, the dual-channel unloading mechanism realizes automatic replenishment of empty trays and continuous output of full trays through the cooperation of the upper conveyor and the lower slide rail, reducing the waiting time of equipment downtime and further ensuring production continuity; the innovative use of top, side and bottom CCD cameras to build a three-dimensional visual inspection system, combined with adaptive light sources and deep learning algorithms, can accurately identify micron-level cracks, scratches and deformation defects. After verification by the actual production line, the defect detection rate has increased from 92% of traditional random inspection to 99.8%, and the missed detection rate has dropped to below 0.05%, effectively preventing unqualified products from flowing into subsequent processes and significantly reducing rework costs; through the combination of modular tray clamping mechanism and programmable control system, it supports rapid switching of more than 5 trays of different specifications (changeover time ≤ 5 minutes) to meet the needs of multi-variety and small batch production. In addition, the dynamic path planning algorithm can optimize the motion trajectory of the suction cup in real time, avoid interference with the CNC machine processing area, reduce the risk of equipment collision, and extend the service life of key components. Compared with traditional robotic arm solutions, maintenance costs are reduced by more than 30%.
