Detailed Embodiment

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] The following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings: As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a screening and feeding device for an insert product of an automotive instrument panel crossmember according to the present invention includes: a material bin 1, a vibrating and screening component, an insert distributing component 3, and an insert flipping component 4; The material bin 1 is used to hold the insert product 5 and can pour the insert product 5 into the vibrating and screening component. The vibrating and screening component is used to vibrate the insert product 5 to a preset posture according to the shape of the insert product 5 and transfer the insert product 5 to the insert distributing component 3. The insert distributing component 3 is used to receive insert products 5 with the same posture and preset quantity and move the received insert products 5 to the corresponding flipping stations of the insert flipping component 4. The insert flipping component 4 is used to flip the insert product 5 at a preset position on the flipping station and then put it back to the flipping station to achieve orderly feeding for subsequent operations.

[0017] In this embodiment, the vibrating and screening component vibrates the insert product 5 to a preset posture, the insert distributing component 3 conveys the insert products 5 with the same posture to the flipping station, and the insert flipping component 4 flips the insert products 5 to be flipped by 180 degrees. Only one set of vibrating and screening components is used to achieve the orderly discharging of insert products 5 with different postures, improving the feeding efficiency, and at the same time saving the hardware layout space and hardware investment.

[0018] Specifically, the vibrating and screening component can be pre-designed in structure according to the shape of the insert product 5 so that it can vibrate through vibrations with specific frequencies and amplitudes, thereby vibrating the insert product 5 to a predetermined posture and outputting the insert product 5 to the insert distributing component 3 in the same posture. The insert distributing component 3 carries and fixes the insert products 5 with the same posture at feeding intervals and conveys them to the flipping stations of the insert flipping component 4. In order to achieve the orderly discharging of insert products 5 with different directions and postures, the insert flipping component 4 flips the insert products 5 to be flipped and then puts them back to the original position of the insert distributing component 3 to achieve orderly feeding for subsequent operations.

[0019] Through the insert flipping assembly 4 in the above device, the specified insert product 5 among multiple insert products 5 can be flipped to the required direction and then placed back in the original position. In this way, there is no need to use an additional set of vibrating and screening components in the early stage to vibrate and screen out insert products 5 in different postures. Instead, only one set of insert flipping assembly 4 is needed to achieve this. Compared with using an additional set of vibrating and screening components, it greatly reduces the hardware investment, saves the layout space of the vibrating and screening components, and at the same time does not cause the waste of the production rhythm of the two sets of vibrating and screening components, improving the production efficiency.

[0020] In the above embodiment, preferably, the vibrating and screening assembly includes a circular vibrating plate 21 and a linear vibrating plate 22. The circular vibrating plate 21 is arranged below the output port of the material bin 1.

The linear vibrating plate 22 transports the insert product 5 along the guide rail to the insert distributing assembly 3 through linear vibration.

[0021] During the implementation process, the structure of the circular vibrating plate 21 is designed according to the insert shape and natural frequency to ensure that the inserts are vibrated to the same posture and enter the linear vibration guide rail during the process from circular vibration to linear vibration.

[0022] In the above embodiment, preferably, a circular vibration sensor is arranged in the circular vibrating plate 21.

The linear vibration sensor is used to detect whether there is product material in the linear vibrating plate 22, so as to add material to the linear vibrating plate 22 through the circular vibrating plate 21 when the linear vibrating plate 22 is out of material.

[0023] During the implementation process, through the coordinated cooperation of the above circular vibration sensor and linear vibration sensor with the control system, the automatic material distribution, vibration, screening, and transportation process of the insert product 5 by the entire vibrating and screening assembly is realized.

In addition, the intervals and layouts of the insert storage slots 34 are also matched according to the structure of the subsequent material taking device, so that the insert products 5 stored in the insert storage slots 34 can be directly adapted for feeding the subsequent material taking device after flipping.

[0026] Among them, the insert detection sensor 32 can be correspondingly arranged with each insert storage slot 34, so that it can cooperate to convey the insert products 5 into the insert storage slots 34 when the insert loading plate 31 moves to the position corresponding to the insert storage slots 34 and the linear vibrator 22 of the vibrating bowl.

[0027] In addition, during the process of the servo driver 33 driving the insert loading plate 31 to move, cables such as its cable connection line and the signal line of the insert detection sensor 32 are constrained by the cable carrier 35, and can also be synchronized with the movement process of the insert loading plate 31.

The flipping operation cylinder 43 can drive the entire insert clamping cylinder 42 to perform a 180-degree flip relative to the horizontal plane. The up and down operation cylinder 44 can drive the flipping operation cylinder 43 to perform up and down operations. The front and back operation cylinder 45 can drive the up and down operation cylinder 44 to perform front and back operations.

[0029] In this embodiment, the up-and-down running cylinder 44 and the front-and-back running cylinder 45 together constitute a three-dimensional motion mechanism, which can drive the gripper 41 to move within the stroke range, so as to drive the gripper 41 to move relative to the insert product 5 during the implementation process. The gripper 41 can hold the insert product 5 under the drive of the insert holding cylinder 42. On this basis, the flipping running cylinder 43 drives the whole insert holding cylinder 42 to flip, so as to realize the flipping of the specified insert product 5 to make it conform to the preset posture.

[0030] In the above embodiment, preferably, the front-and-back running cylinder 45 and the up-and-down running cylinder 44 move in coordination, and can drive the gripper 41 to move to the carrying position of the insert product 5 to be flipped. After the insert holding cylinder 42 drives the gripper 41 to hold the insert product 5, the front-and-back running cylinder 45 and the up-and-down running cylinder 44 drive the gripper 41 to move to the flipping free area, so that the insert flipping cylinder can drive the gripper 41 to flip without interfering with the insert bearing plate 31; After the insert flipping cylinder drives the gripper 41 and the insert product 5 to flip, the front-and-back running cylinder 45 and the up-and-down running cylinder 44 drive the gripper 41 to move to the original carrying position of the insert product 5, and the insert holding cylinder 42 releases the gripper 41 to realize the flipping operation of the insert product 5; After the flipping of the insert product 5 is completed, the front-and-back running cylinder 45 and the up-and-down running cylinder 44 can drive the gripper 41 to return to the original position.
