Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automated material conveying, and particularly to a feeding detection device. Background Art

[0002] In the technical field of automated material conveying, especially in the industrial production scenarios for feeding accessories, achieving stable material suction and precise separation is the core requirement to ensure production efficiency and product quality. The existing technologies have the following deficiencies:

[0003] On the one hand, the material taking structure is mostly of a fixed angle or only has a simple adjustment function. When facing accessories with different shapes and specifications, it is difficult to adapt to the material shape through multi-angle adjustment. For example, for special-shaped accessories or materials with large surface undulations, the suction cups at fixed positions often cannot fit the material surface, resulting in insufficient suction, material dropping, or deviation of the suction position, seriously affecting the stability of the production process.

[0004] On the other hand, there are defects in the material separation link. When the existing equipment sucks materials, there is a lack of an effective anti-double-sheet structure design. Some devices only rely on suction to directly suck materials, such as using ordinary planar adsorption methods, and cannot separate stacked materials. In actual production, this method is extremely likely to cause the double-sheet phenomenon (that is, two or more layers of materials are sucked up simultaneously), which not only causes material waste, but also makes the double-sheet materials enter the subsequent processing procedures, resulting in reduced processing accuracy, frequent equipment failures, increased production and maintenance costs, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of modern industry for the accuracy and reliability of material conveying. Summary of the Invention

Specific embodiments

[0028] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] Figure 1-8 As shown, a feeding and detecting device includes: a material taking member 1, a universal adjustment structure 2, a stacking mechanism 3, a material sensing assembly 4, a material blocking structure 5, a feeding mechanism 6, a frame 7, and a sliding module 9. The stacking mechanism 3 and the feeding mechanism 6 are both arranged on the frame 7, and the stacking mechanism 3 is located beside the feeding mechanism 6; the material sensing assembly 4 is arranged on the stacking mechanism 3, the material blocking structure 5 is arranged at the discharging end of the stacking mechanism 3, the sliding module 9 is arranged on the frame 7, and the sliding module 9 is electrically connected to the material sensing assembly 4; the universal adjustment structure 2 is slidably connected to the sliding module 9, and the material taking member 1 is arranged on the universal adjustment structure 2;

[0030] The universal adjustment structure 2 is used to adjust the material taking posture of the material taking member 1;

[0031] In this embodiment, the material taking posture of the material taking member 1 can be adjusted through the universal adjustment structure 2, so that the material taking member 1 can be adjusted at multiple angles according to the shape of the material (such as special-shaped materials, materials with a large surface area or large surface undulations), enabling the material taking member 1 to accurately fit the surface of the material and optimizing the suction force distribution; for example, the universal adjustment structure 2 can dynamically adjust the material taking angle of the material taking member 1 according to the surface area, shape, etc. of the material to be taken, ensuring that the adsorption force of the material taking member 1 acts evenly on the center of gravity of the material, significantly reducing the risk of material dropping or position deviation, thereby improving the stability of the production process and reducing downtime and rework caused by failed material taking;

[0032] The material sensing component 4 is used to detect the amount of material in the stacking mechanism 3 and send a material amount signal to the sliding module 9;

[0033] In this embodiment, the material sensing component 4 can select a variety of sensor types, such as a photoelectric sensor that detects materials using the light reflection or transmission characteristics, and an ultrasonic sensor that judges the material situation based on the ultrasonic reflection principle, etc.; the material sensing component 4 real-time monitors the amount of material in the stacking mechanism 3 and feeds back the material amount information to the sliding module 9. When it detects that the material height is sufficient, the sliding module 9 can start the next round of material taking according to the feedback signal after the material taking member 1 completes the current material taking action, realizing continuous and efficient material grasping;

[0034] The sliding module 9 is used to drive the material taking member 1 to move between the feeding mechanism 6 and the stacking mechanism 3;

[0035] The material taking member 1 is used to take materials from the stacking mechanism 3 and place the materials on the feeding mechanism 6; the material blocking structure 5 is used to separate the excess materials sucked by the material taking member 1;

[0036] In this embodiment, when the material taking member 1 sucks materials, the material blocking structure 5 separates the excess materials sucked by the material taking member 1 through physical blocking and flexible contact; for example, for stacked sheet materials, the material blocking structure 5 can apply a reverse resistance during the material taking process, allowing only a single layer of materials to be adsorbed, effectively avoiding the double-sheet phenomenon; this design not only reduces material waste, but also eliminates problems such as a decrease in processing accuracy and equipment jamming that may be caused by double-sheet materials entering subsequent processes, reducing production maintenance costs and meeting the stringent requirements of industrial production for the accuracy of material transportation;

[0037] In this embodiment, the universal adjustment structure 2 endows the material taking member 1 with dynamic adaptability, and the material taking member 1 can be adjusted at multiple angles according to the shape of the material (such as special-shaped materials, materials with large surface undulations, etc.), ensuring that the material taking member 1 accurately adheres to the surface of the material, optimizing the suction force distribution and evenly acting on the center of gravity of the material, effectively reducing the risk of material dropping or position deviation, improving the stability of the production process, and reducing downtime and rework caused by failed material taking; after the material taking member 1 completes the current material taking action, the sliding module 9 can start the next round of material taking according to the feedback signal, realizing continuous and efficient material grasping to ensure the stability of material supply and production efficiency; through the physical blocking and flexible contact of the redundant material by the material blocking structure 5, the redundant material sucked by the material taking member 1 is separated during the material taking process. For example, a reverse resistance is applied to the stacked sheet materials, allowing only single-layer adsorption, solving the double-sheet phenomenon, avoiding material waste and problems such as decreased processing accuracy and equipment jamming caused by double-sheet materials in subsequent processes, reducing production maintenance costs, and meeting the stringent requirements of the industry for conveying accuracy; the material sensing component 4 monitors the height of the materials in the stacking mechanism 3 in real time and feeds back to the sliding module 9 to drive the material taking member 1 to the material taking station for material taking. The modular integrated design enables each component to work together, and through automatic control, dynamic material supply and accurate material taking are realized, significantly improving the system reliability and production efficiency, and providing an efficient and stable solution for industrial automation conveying.

[0038] The stockpiling mechanism 3 includes at least two stockpiling racks 31 and a position adjustment structure 32, so that there is no need to stop the machine when replenishing materials. When the stockpiling mechanism 3 is working, one of the stockpiling racks 31 is the working position, and the other stockpiling rack 31 is the storage position. The material height in the stockpiling rack 31 in the working state is monitored in real time by the material sensing component 4 and fed back to the first driving module 11. When the materials are sufficient, the first driving module 11 controls the material taking part 1 to continuously take materials; when the materials in the working position are exhausted, it controls the material taking part 1 to take materials from the storage position and replenish the working position to reduce the downtime for replenishing materials; the stockpiling rack 31 includes a number of limiting members 311, and a number of the limiting members 311 are all arranged on the machine frame 7. A number of the limiting members 311 enclose a stockpiling groove 3111. The limiting members 311 play a role in restricting the materials, enabling the materials to be neatly stored in the stockpiling groove 3111; a pushing structure 33 is arranged at the position of the machine frame 7 corresponding to the stockpiling groove 3111; the stockpiling groove 3111 is used for stacking materials. The pushing structure 33 is electrically connected to the material sensing component 4. The pushing structure 33 is used for pushing the materials in the stockpiling groove 3111. The pushing structure 33 is arranged at the position of the machine frame 7 corresponding to the stockpiling groove 3111 and can directly push the materials in the groove. When the material sensing component 4 detects a change in the quantity of materials in the stockpiling groove 3111, it can send a signal to the pushing structure 33 in time. The pushing structure 33 pushes the materials to the discharge end of the stockpiling groove 3111 according to the signal, ensuring the continuous and stable supply of materials to the material taking link, guaranteeing the smooth operation of the entire production process, avoiding production stagnation caused by untimely material supply, and improving production efficiency; the material blocking structure 5 includes a number of annular rubber rings 51. A number of the annular rubber rings 51 are sleeved on the discharge ends of the respective limiting members 311, which can form a flexible barrier, effectively preventing two or more sheets of materials from being simultaneously sucked out by the material taking part 1 and entering the subsequent conveying process, ensuring that only one layer of materials is taken away each time. The position adjustment structure 32 is arranged on the machine frame 7. The material sensing component 4 is detachably connected to the position adjustment structure 32; the position adjustment structure 32 is used for adjusting the horizontal installation height and vertical installation height of the material sensing component 4. During the equipment installation and commissioning stage, the position of the material sensing component 4 can be adjusted through the position adjustment structure 32 according to the actual situation, so that the material sensing component 4 achieves the best detection effect to adapt to different production environments and material detection requirements. During the equipment maintenance process, if the material sensing component 4 needs to be overhauled or replaced, the detachable connection method makes the operation more convenient, reducing the maintenance time and cost;

[0039] In this embodiment, the continuous supply of materials is achieved through the double stacking rack 31 structure. When the materials in the stacking rack 31 at the working position are exhausted, the system can automatically switch to the storage position to pick up materials without stopping the machine operation, greatly improving the production efficiency and reducing the production capacity loss caused by material replenishment. Secondly, the material sensing component 4 continuously monitors the material quantity of the working stacking rack 31 and sends the material quantity information to the first driving module 11. The first driving module 11 dynamically adjusts the picking rhythm of the picking part 1 according to the material quantity information to ensure that the picking part 1 operates continuously and efficiently when there is sufficient material, and the picking part 1 switches to the storage working position to pick up materials in advance when the material is insufficient, ensuring the stability of material supply. The stacking groove 3111 enclosed by the limiting parts 311 forms an orderly constraint on the materials, making the materials neatly stacked, facilitating the accurate positioning and grasping of the picking part 1, and improving the picking efficiency. The annular rubber ring 51 of the material blocking structure 5 is sleeved on the upper end of the limiting part 311. During picking, through physical blocking and flexible contact, redundant materials are effectively separated, avoiding the double-sheet phenomenon, ensuring that only single-layer materials are adsorbed each time, and eliminating the processing errors and equipment failures caused by double-sheet materials, reducing the production maintenance cost. By adjusting the structure to adjust the horizontal and vertical installation heights of the material sensing component 4, the best detection effect can be ensured. At the same time, the detachable connection design between the material sensing component 4 and the position adjustment structure 32 makes the maintenance or replacement operation more convenient, reducing the maintenance time and cost.

The locking hole 81 and the fixing hole 711 are locked and connected by the first locking nail, and a plurality of annular rubber rings 51 are sleeved on the discharging ends of the respective limiting rods 3112; the position adjustment structure 32 is arranged on the stacking bottom plate 71; the feeding mechanism 6 is arranged on the rack main body 73.

The operator can easily rotate the limit rod 3112 and change its position, and flexibly adjust the shape of the stacking trough 3111, so that the stacking mechanism 3 can quickly adapt to materials of different shapes and sizes, from small precision parts to large block materials, can be accurately positioned and stacked, greatly broadening the scope of application and improving production efficiency.

The number of the material sensing components 4 is more than two, so that each can detect the amount of material on a stacking rack 31. The function of the second driving module 19 is to control the operation of the lifting push rod 13 according to the information fed back by the material sensing component 4, and drive the material supporting plate 14 to perform lifting operations, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the material. When the material is taken away and the amount of material in the stacking trough 3111 decreases, the lifting push rod 13 can lift the material supporting plate 14 upward, so that the material is always kept in a suitable height range, which is convenient for the material picking piece 1 to grab; the frame body 73 is provided with a first through hole at the position of the stacking trough 3111, and the stacking bottom plate 71 is provided with a second through hole at the position of the stacking trough 3111 The lifting rod 13 passes through the first through hole and the second through hole and is connected to the second driving module 19.

The first through hole and the second through hole provide necessary space for the installation and movement of the lifting rod 13. The lifting rod 13 can lift the material supporting plate 14 as needed, so that the material supporting plate 14 can move in the stockpile trough 3111, thereby supporting, lifting and adjusting the height of the material; the material supporting plate 14 is arranged at the output end of the lifting rod 13. The shape of the material supporting plate 14 can be various shapes such as a cross, a star, a diamond, etc., so as to directly support the material thereon, and move up and down with the lifting of the lifting rod 13, so as to ensure the stability of the position of the material in the stockpile trough 3111 and provide support for the material at the same time;

[0043] In this embodiment, the material sensing component 4 detects the material quantity on the stacking rack 31 in real time, and feeds back the material quantity information to the second driving module 19.

The detachable connection makes it convenient and fast to replace and adjust the suction cup material taking device 12. The number of suction cup material taking devices 12 can be selected according to the actual material characteristics (such as size, shape, material), and the suction cup material taking device 12 can be installed on the multi-joint horizontal adjustment structure 24 to meet diverse material taking requirements. For example, materials of different sizes may require different numbers of suction cups 22 to provide sufficient adsorption force; irregularly shaped materials may require more suction cups 22 for multi-point adsorption to ensure the stability of material taking; the surface characteristics of materials of different materials are different, and the requirements for the adsorption performance of the suction cups 22 are also different. By adjusting the number of suction cups 22, these differences can be better adapted;

[0045] In this embodiment, in the universal adjustment structure 2, the multi-joint horizontal adjustment structure 24 formed by the hinged connection of two adjacent adjusting members 21 can rotate at multiple angles in the horizontal plane. Cooperating with the vertical adjustment structure 27 detachably connected to the first driving module 11, the arbitrary attitude adjustment of the material taking member 1 in the three-dimensional space can be realized to adapt to the characteristics of the material. During actual production, according to the characteristics of the material such as size, shape, and material, the number of suction cup material taking devices 12 can be conveniently replaced and adjusted. For example, for large materials, suction cups 22 are added to enhance the adsorption force; for irregular materials, multi-point adsorption is arranged to ensure stability; for materials of different materials, appropriate combinations of suction cups 22 are matched. This highly flexible design greatly improves the material taking adaptability of the overall device to diverse materials, avoids material taking problems caused by material characteristic differences, significantly improves production efficiency and product quality, and provides strong support for the efficient and stable operation of industrial production.

[0046] At least two first threaded holes 211 penetrating in the up and down direction are formed in the adjusting member 21. Adjusting screws are arranged inside the first threaded holes 211, and the adjusting screws pass through the first threaded holes 211 in two adjacent adjusting members 21 to lock the two adjacent adjusting members 21; by rotating the adjusting screws in two adjacent adjusting members 21, the position states of the two adjacent adjusting members 21 can be adjusted;

[0047] In this embodiment, for materials of different shapes and sizes, the material taking member 1 needs to grab in different postures. The design of the adjusting member 21 enables the material taking member 1 to be flexibly adjusted according to the specific conditions of the material, ensuring that the suction cup material taking device 12 can be closely attached to the material surface, improving the stability and success rate of grabbing. For example, for large irregular materials, the angle between two adjacent adjusting members 21 can be adjusted to enable multiple suction cup material taking devices 12 to adsorb the material from different directions, enhancing the firmness of grabbing. During the equipment installation and debugging stage, the operator can conveniently adjust the posture of the material taking member 1 by rotating the adjusting screws; during equipment maintenance, if it is found that a certain adjusting member 21 or suction cup material taking device 12 has problems, the relevant components can also be conveniently disassembled and replaced through the adjusting screws, reducing the difficulty and time cost of equipment maintenance.

[0048] The universal adjustment frame 28 includes a sliding member 111 and a cross bar 112; the sliding member 111 is arranged on the sliding module 72, and the sliding member 111 is slidably connected to the sliding module 72. When the first driving module 11 receives a feeding instruction, it responds to the feeding instruction and drives the sliding member 111 to drive the material taking member 1 to move back and forth along the track of the sliding module 72 between the feeding mechanism 6 and the stacking mechanism 3, so as to realize feeding the material to the feeding mechanism 6; the sliding member 111 and the cross bar 112 are fixedly connected; the vertical adjustment structure 27 includes a shaft clamp 271 and a fixing member 222, the shaft clamp 271 is clamped and connected to the cross bar 112, and the shaft clamp 271 and the fixing member 222 are fixedly connected; the fixing member 222 is detachably connected to the multi-joint horizontal adjustment structure 24. Since the shaft clamp 271 is fixedly connected to the fixing member 222, and the fixing member 222 is connected to the multi-joint horizontal adjustment structure 24, by changing the clamping direction of the shaft clamp 271 on the cross bar 112, the vertical height of the multi-joint horizontal adjustment structure 24 can be changed, so as to adjust the position of the material taking member 1 in the vertical direction. Through the synergistic effect of the multi-joint horizontal adjustment structure 24 and the vertical adjustment structure 27, any attitude adjustment of the material taking member 1 in three-dimensional space can be realized, so that it can flexibly adapt to the complex surface forms of special-shaped fittings or materials with large surface undulations, avoiding problems such as insufficient suction force, material dropping or deviation of the suction position caused by the inability of the fixed-position suction cup 22 to fit the material surface, greatly improving the stability of material grasping, effectively ensuring the stable operation of the production process, reducing production interruptions caused by abnormal material picking and placing, and effectively improving production efficiency;

[0049] In this embodiment, the sliding connection between the sliding member 111 and the sliding module 72, and the signal linkage between the first driving module 11 and the material sensing component 4 enable it to automatically respond to the feeding instruction, drive the sliding member 111 to drive the material taking member 1 to move back and forth efficiently between the feeding mechanism 6 and the stacking mechanism 3 along the track of the sliding module 72, realizing the full automation of material feeding, improving the coherence and production capacity of the production process. The vertical adjustment structure 27 can conveniently adjust the vertical height of the multi-joint horizontal adjustment structure 24 through the clamping connection between the shaft clamp 271 and the cross bar 112. Combining with the horizontal multi-angle rotation ability of the multi-joint structure itself, any attitude adjustment of the material taking member 1 in three-dimensional space can be realized. This design effectively solves the problem of grasping special-shaped fittings or materials with large surface undulations, enabling the material taking member 1 to accurately fit the complex surface of the material, avoiding insufficient suction force, material dropping or position deviation caused by poor fitting of the fixed-position suction cup 22, and significantly improving the grasping stability. Each component adopts a modular connection method (such as the detachable connection between the fixing member 222 and the multi-joint structure), which is convenient for quickly calibrating the position of the material taking member 1 or replacing components, reducing the debugging and maintenance costs, providing an efficient, stable and reliable solution for industrial automation conveying, and effectively ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the production process.

[0050] The feeding and detecting device further includes a commutation mechanism 15, a position sensor 16 and a vision sensor 17; the commutation mechanism 15, the position sensor 16 and the vision sensor 17 are all located above the feeding mechanism 6; the position sensor 16 and the vision sensor 17 are both arranged on the frame body 73, and the types of the position sensor 16 include: photoelectric sensors, capacitive sensors, inductive sensors, etc.; the types of the vision sensor 17 include: industrial cameras, area array cameras, laser displacement sensors, etc. The position sensor 16 transmits the position information of the material to the vision sensor 17 to provide a trigger signal for the detection work of the vision sensor 17; the commutation mechanism 15 is detachably connected to the frame body 73; the vision sensor 17 is electrically connected to the position sensor 16. After receiving the material position signal transmitted by the position sensor 16, it starts the vision detection of the material. When it detects that the material direction is opposite to the setting, it sends an instruction to the commutation mechanism 15; the commutation mechanism 15 is electrically connected to the vision sensor 17, and the commutation mechanism 15 is used to perform a commutation operation on the material on the feeding mechanism 6 when the material direction is opposite to the setting;

[0051] In this embodiment, the position sensor 16 captures the position signal of the material reaching the detection range of the vision sensor 17 and transmits this signal to the vision sensor 17 to trigger the vision detection; after the vision sensor 17 receives the material position signal transmitted by the position sensor 16, it starts the vision detection of the material. When it detects that the material direction is opposite to the setting, it sends an instruction to the commutation mechanism 15; after receiving the instruction, the commutation mechanism 15 immediately performs a commutation operation on the material on the feeding mechanism 6; this complete set of collaborative mechanisms ensures that the material enters the subsequent links in the correct direction, effectively avoiding processing errors caused by incorrect material directions, optimizing the production process, reducing interruptions and rework caused by material direction problems, and improving the overall production efficiency.

[0052] The commutation mechanism 15 includes a positioning plate 152 and a commutation component 153. The commutation component 153 is provided on the positioning plate 152. The commutation component 153 is electrically connected to the vision sensor 17. There are two sliding crossbeams 151 on the frame body 73. The positioning plate 152 is arranged between the two sliding crossbeams 151. The positioning plate 152 is slidably connected to the two sliding crossbeams 151. This design enables the position of the positioning plate 152 on the sliding crossbeam 151 to be adjustable. A groove 154 is formed in the sliding crossbeam 151 along its length direction. A second threaded hole 20 is formed in the positioning plate 152. A fastening screw is threadedly connected in the second threaded hole 20. The tail of the fastening screw abuts against the strip-shaped groove 154, providing a stable installation platform for the entire commutation component 153, ensuring that the commutation component 153 will not shake or displace as a whole during the commutation operation of the material, and guaranteeing the accuracy and stability of the operation. By loosening the fastening screw, the position of the positioning plate 152 on the crossbeam can be adjusted. By arranging the commutation component 153 on the positioning plate 152, the hanging position of the commutation component 153 on the crossbeam can be flexibly adjusted according to the conveying position of different materials, the layout of the feeding mechanism 6, and the needs of the entire production process. This adjustability improves the adaptability of the commutation component 153, enabling it to better match various production scenarios.

[0053] In this embodiment, the sliding connection design between the positioning plate 152 and the sliding crossbeam 151 enables the hanging position of the commutation component 153 to be flexibly adjusted according to the material conveying path, the layout of the feeding mechanism 6, and the production process requirements. By loosening the fastening screw, the positioning plate 152 can slide freely along the sliding crossbeam 151 to match the conveying stations of different materials. The cooperation mechanism between the fastening screw and the strip-shaped groove 154 provides reliable structural stability while ensuring the convenience of adjustment. After the positioning plate 152 is adjusted to the target position, tightening the screw can firmly lock the commutation component 153 by abutting the tail against the groove 154, preventing it from shaking or displacing during the material commutation process, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the commutation action, and enhancing the reliability of the production process. The electrical connection between the commutation component 153 and the vision sensor 17 realizes intelligent commutation control based on real-time visual feedback. Combining the adjustable position characteristic of the positioning plate 152, the system can dynamically adjust the commutation strategy according to the postures of different materials, effectively ensuring the smooth operation of the production process and the improvement of production capacity.

[0054] The commutation component 153 includes a suction cup 22, a rotary driver 26, and a lifting driver 23. The lifting driver 23 is provided on the positioning plate 152.

The output end of the rotary driver 26 is rotatably connected to the suction cup 22.

[0055] In this embodiment, the main function of the lifting driver 23 is to drive the suction cup 22 to move up and down, so that the suction cup 22 can accurately reach the position of the material on the feeding mechanism 6 for suction. The rotation driver 26 is based on the material attitude data detected by the vision sensor 17. When the material attitude data indicates that the material direction is opposite to the preset direction, the rotation driver 26 drives the transmission shaft to drive the suction cup 22 to rotate, so as to complete the operation of reversing the material and ensure that the material enters the subsequent process in the correct direction; The whole component structure is compact and the cooperation is smooth. It can quickly respond to the instructions of the vision sensor 17, efficiently correct the material direction, reduce production stagnation, improve production efficiency, and provide reliable guarantee for production.
