Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plate retracting and positioning devices, and in particular to a high-precision automatic plate retracting and positioning device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional plate retraction and positioning devices mostly use steel structure frames, and the conveying part is mainly belt or roller conveyor. Manual or semi-automatic grasping is generally adopted. The number of grippers is usually 2-4, and only a single plate can be grasped. At the same time, the positioning system mostly relies solely on mechanical blocks or manual calibration, and there is no dynamic feedback system.

[0003] Traditional plate retraction and positioning devices partially rely on manual loading, positioning and flipping, with a single cycle time usually greater than 5s. The plate processing efficiency is low and cannot meet the needs of high-speed production lines. At the same time, it also lacks high-precision displacement detection components and partially relies on manual visual detection of plate position. Error judgment is subjective, resulting in the inability to quickly and accurately position and fit the plates, greatly reducing the overall plate processing speed and yield rate.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the problem that the above-mentioned traditional plate retracting and positioning device partially relies on manual loading, positioning and flipping, cannot accurately position and process, and cannot meet the processing requirements of high-speed production lines, a high-precision automatic plate retracting and positioning device can be designed.

[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] The automatic gripping mechanism, positioning and flipping mechanism, and reciprocating conveying mechanism are controlled by multiple axes synchronously through the PLC control system, which can achieve a plate production cycle of less than 1.6s; the plate lamination accuracy is less than ±0.05mm; and the product qualification rate is greater than 99.7%.

[0030] The automatic gripping mechanism includes a protective outer frame plate 501 installed on the upper end of the protective top plate 4, a first servo motor 502 is installed on the outer end of the protective outer frame plate 501, a threaded rotating rod 503 is installed on the output end of the first servo motor 502, and a movable sleeve block 504 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rotating rod 503.

[0031] A clamping claw 505 is installed at the lower end of the movable sleeve block 504, and a movable through slot 506 is opened inside the protective top plate 4, and the lower end of the movable sleeve block 504 passes through the movable through slot 506 and is connected to the top of the clamping claw 505.

[0032] Auxiliary support plates 705 are fixedly connected on both sides of the flip rod 703, and a limiter 706 is installed on the side of the flip rod 703 away from the flip motor 702. The upper ends of the flip rod 703 and the auxiliary support plate 705 are fixedly connected with a flip plate 707, and the upper end of the second support frame plate 6 is located on the side end of the installation vertical plate 701 and is installed with a transparent protective plate 704.

[0034] See also Figure 5-Figure 8 In this embodiment, the reciprocating conveying mechanism includes a protective outer cover plate 801 installed at the bottom end of the second support frame plate 6, a second servo motor 802 is installed at one end of the outer side of the protective outer cover plate 801, and an adjusting screw 803 is installed at the output end of the second servo motor 802.

[0035] The outer side of the adjusting screw rod 803 is threadedly connected to a screw rod slider 804 , the upper end of the screw rod slider 804 is installed with a movable block 805 , and the upper end of the movable block 805 is installed with a connecting disk 806 .

[0036] A hydraulic telescopic rod 807 is mounted on the upper end of the connecting plate 806. A placement platform 808 is mounted on the output end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 807. A control chamber 809 is provided inside the placement platform 808. A bidirectional cylinder 810 is mounted inside the control chamber 809. Two sets of clamping plates 811 are mounted on the output end of the bidirectional cylinder 810. Support rods 812 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the clamping plates 811. Anti-slip pads 813 are mounted on the inner sides of the support rods 812. A visual sensor is mounted inside the control chamber 809. The visual sensor is in communication with the first servo motor 502 and is used to detect the position of the plate in real time and provide feedback to the PLC control system.

[0037] The friction coefficient of the silicone surface of the anti-slip pad 813 is ≥ 0.8, and it works in conjunction with the clamping plate 811 of the bidirectional cylinder 810;

[0038] When the visual sensor detects that the plate displacement deviation is greater than ±0.01mm, the PLC control system automatically adjusts the spacing between the splints 811 with an adjustment accuracy of ±0.02mm, forming a dynamic anti-deviation closed loop to ensure that the conveying displacement deviation is ≤±0.02mm; the adjustment screw 803 adopts a ground-grade ball screw with a lead of 5mm and a pitch error of ±5μm, and cooperates with the linear guide to achieve a reciprocating positioning accuracy of ±0.01mm.

[0039] The plate to be processed is placed on the roller conveyor 2, and the plate contacts the roller surface and is transported horizontally.

[0040] The side protection baffles 3 and the protection top plate 4 form a semi-enclosed space to prevent lateral deviation or foreign matter from intruding during plate transportation.

[0041] The operator inputs the plate size and laminating process parameters through the human-machine interface on the PLC control system;

[0042] The PLC control system activates each servo motor and initializes the encoder and sensor.

[0043] The first servo motor 502 drives the threaded rotating rod 503 to rotate, and drives the movable sleeve 504 to move laterally along the movable through slot 506 of the protective top plate 4 through the threaded pair, with a positioning accuracy of ±0.03mm.

[0044] When the clamping jaws 505 move to just above the plate, the PLC control system sends a command to stop moving.

[0045] The clamping jaws 505 extend downwards and contact the edge of the plate, and then the clamping jaws 505 close synchronously to grab multiple plates, with a single jaw repeatability accuracy of ±0.03mm.

[0046] The turning motor 702 drives the turning rod 703 to calibrate the initial position through the harmonic reducer, and the limiter 706 sends a zero point signal to the PLC control system.

[0047] The auxiliary support plate 705 enhances the structural rigidity to ensure that there is no deformation during flipping.

[0048] The automatic gripping mechanism moves the plate to above the turning plate 707, and the clamping claw 505 releases the plate.

[0049] The vacuum suction cup 710 of the laminating device 708 is activated and absorbs the plate into the placement cavity 709 within 0.3 seconds. The uniformity of the absorption force is ±2%, which prevents the plate from warping.

[0050] The flip motor 702 receives the instruction from the PLC control system and drives the flip rod 703 to rotate. The limiter 706 monitors the angle in real time to form a position-speed double closed loop.

[0051] During the turnover process, the auxiliary support plate 705 rotates synchronously with the turnover rod 703, ensuring the smooth rotation of the turnover plate 707, and finally achieving a 180° turnover with an accuracy of ±0.05°.

[0052] The second servo motor 802 drives the adjusting screw rod 803 to rotate, and the screw rod slider 804 moves along a straight line to transport.

[0053] Starting the hydraulic telescopic rod 807 can adjust the height of the placing table 808 to align with the lamination device 708 of the turnover plate 707, and use the lamination device 708 for lamination processing.

[0054] The visual sensor shoots the edge of the plate, calculates the displacement deviation, and feeds back the data to the PLC control system in real time.

[0055] If the deviation is > ±0.01mm, the bidirectional air cylinder 810 drives the clamping plate 811 to adjust the distance, and the anti-skid pad 813 assists in fixing, with an adjustment accuracy of ±0.02mm, forming a dynamic anti-deviation closed loop, ensuring that the conveying displacement deviation is ≤±0.02mm.

[0056] The PLC control system coordinates the multi-axis motion of automatic grabbing, turnover, and reciprocating conveying, uses electronic cam algorithm to ensure synchronization accuracy, and compresses the production rhythm to <1.6s.

[0057] Each servo motor feeds back the position in real time through the encoder, forms a closed loop control with the visual sensor and the limit switch 706, and corrects the error in real time.

[0058] After lamination is completed, the visual sensor rechecks the lamination accuracy, and the thickness uniformity can also be detected by the laser thickness gauge.
