Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveying technology, and more particularly to a product aligning machine. Background Technology

[0002] After product processing and production are completed, the products usually need to be arranged and organized before being input into the next workstation to facilitate subsequent assembly or packaging processes. Currently, for small products such as magnetic cores, the arrangement is generally done manually using a magnifying glass or microscope to observe the magnetic cores, identify the markings on their surface, and then adjust their placement to meet the needs of the next workstation. This operation is inefficient, and the stability of manual adjustment and judgment of the magnetic core positions is poor, affecting the normal progress of the next process. Therefore, there is an urgent need for equipment that can arrange and organize magnetic cores and other products more efficiently and stably. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a product aligning machine to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0004] The solution to the technical problem of this invention is:

[0005] Product aligning machine, comprising: a feeding mechanism including a vibratory feeder and a linear vibrating guide rail connected to the discharge end of the vibratory feeder; an indexing plate rotatable about an axis in the vertical direction, the top side of the indexing plate having a plurality of positioning slots arranged in a circumferential array; a first transfer mechanism for transferring products from the end of the linear vibrating guide rail away from the vibratory feeder to one of the positioning slots; a detection mechanism located beside the indexing plate, the detection mechanism having a detection end facing one of the positioning slots; an adjustment mechanism located further downstream of the indexing plate than the detection mechanism, the adjustment mechanism having an adjustment seat movable up and down, the adjustment seat having an adjustment end rotatable about an axis in the vertical direction; a positioning mechanism having a positioning fixture; and a second transfer mechanism for transferring products in the positioning slots after passing through the adjustment mechanism to the positioning fixture.

[0006] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: Products that need to be arranged are placed in a vibratory feeder, which vibrates and arranges them. The products are then fed from the feeder's outlet to a linear guide rail, arranging them in a straight line to the side of the indexing plate. A first transfer mechanism moves the products at the end of the arrangement on the linear guide rail to a positioning slot on the indexing plate. The indexing plate rotates, transferring the products to a detection mechanism. The detection mechanism can then inspect the products in the positioning slot to determine their placement. The indexing plate then moves the products to an adjustment mechanism. When the product's position meets the requirements, the adjustment mechanism does not need to adjust the product's position. During the adjustment process, the indexing plate directly drives the product to continue rotating. When the product's position does not meet the requirements, the adjustment seat in the adjustment mechanism moves down, bringing the adjustment end closer to the product. First, the product is moved out of the positioning slot. Then, the adjustment end drives the product to rotate around the vertical axis, adjusting the product to the required position. Next, the product is moved down into the positioning slot, and the indexing plate drives the product to continue rotating. Finally, the second transfer mechanism transfers the product to the positioning fixture for arrangement. In this way, the mechanical system adjusts and arranges the position of products such as magnetic cores, reducing manual operation and effectively improving the efficiency and quality of product arrangement, thereby increasing production efficiency.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the vibratory feeder is provided with a feeding trough connected to the linear vibration guide rail, and a detector is provided on the vibratory feeder with the detection end of the detector facing the feeding trough. An air blowing pipe is provided on the side of the feeding trough away from the center of the vibratory feeder, and the air blowing pipe can blow the product in the feeding trough into the vibratory feeder.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the first transfer mechanism includes a transfer plate and a first suction nozzle. A transfer groove is provided on the top side of the transfer plate. The transfer plate is located between the linear vibration guide rail and the indexing plate. The transfer plate can slide in the horizontal direction, so that the transfer groove is connected to or offset from the linear vibration guide rail. The first suction nozzle can move back and forth between the transfer groove and one of the positioning grooves.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the first transfer mechanism includes a first base, a first lifting drive, a first translation drive, and a translation plate. The first lifting drive is disposed on the first base, and the first translation drive is disposed on the first lifting drive. The first lifting drive can drive the first translation drive to move up and down. The first translation drive is connected to the translation plate. The first translation drive can drive the translation plate to move translatively between the transfer groove and one of the positioning grooves. The first suction nozzle is connected to the translation plate.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the second transfer mechanism includes a flipping seat and a second suction nozzle. A negative pressure groove is provided on the top side of the flipping seat, and a negative pressure suction tube is connected to the bottom of the negative pressure groove. The flipping seat can rotate around a horizontal axis and make the negative pressure groove approach one of the positioning grooves or face upwards. The second suction nozzle can move back and forth between the negative pressure groove and the positioning fixture.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the second transfer mechanism includes a second base, a drive shaft, and a flip drive. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the second base, the flip drive is connected to the second base, the flip drive is drive-connected to the drive shaft, the flip drive can drive the drive shaft to rotate, and the flip seat is connected to the outside of the drive shaft.

The second translation drive is disposed on the gantry frame, and the second lifting drive is disposed on the second translation drive. The second translation drive can drive the second lifting drive to move translatively between the negative pressure groove and the positioning fixture. The second lifting drive is connected to the lifting plate, and the second lifting drive can drive the lifting plate to move up and down. The second suction nozzle is connected to the lifting plate.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the adjustment mechanism includes a third base, a third lifting drive and an adjustment drive. The third lifting drive is disposed on the third base and is tractively connected to the adjustment seat. The adjustment drive is disposed on the adjustment seat and is tractively connected to a third suction nozzle, which is the adjustment end.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the feeding mechanism also includes a vibrator and a feeding bin. The vibrator is connected to the feeding bin, and one side of the feeding bin extends downward at an angle to the vibrating plate and is provided with a discharge port.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The product aligning machine includes a feeding mechanism, an indexing plate 200, a first transfer mechanism 300, a detection mechanism 400, an adjustment mechanism 500, a positioning mechanism, and a second transfer mechanism 700, wherein:

[0028] The feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder 110 and a linear vibratory guide rail 120 connected to the discharge end of the vibratory feeder 110;

[0029] The indexing plate 200 can rotate around the vertical axis. The top side of the indexing plate 200 has a circumferential array of multiple positioning grooves 210. Naturally, the indexing plate 200 itself is driven by a motor, and the motor drives the indexing plate 200 to rotate the same angle in one go.

[0030] The first transfer mechanism 300 is used to transfer the product at the end of the linear vibration guide rail 120 away from the vibrating plate 110 to a positioning groove 210. In practical applications, the first transfer mechanism 300 can transfer the product to the positioning groove 210 closest to the linear vibration guide rail 120, thereby reducing the distance of product transfer and improving product transfer efficiency.

[0031] The detection mechanism 400 is located beside the indexing plate 200. The detection mechanism 400 has a detection end facing one of the positioning slots 210. In practical applications, the detection mechanism 400 includes an image recognizer. By taking pictures of the products in the positioning slots 210 and recognizing them, the detection mechanism 400 can determine whether the product placement meets the requirements.

[0032] The adjustment mechanism 500 is closer to the downstream of the indexing plate 200 than the detection mechanism 400, so that the product can be adjusted in position by the adjustment mechanism 500 after being detected by the detection mechanism 400. The adjustment mechanism 500 has an adjustment seat 510 that can move up and down, and the adjustment seat 510 is provided with an adjustment end that can rotate around the vertical axis.

[0033] The positioning mechanism has a positioning fixture 610, which is used to fix the material plate on which the products are placed. In practical applications, the material plate needs to be placed on the positioning fixture 610 for positioning first. After the products are arranged on the material plate, the entire material plate is removed from the positioning fixture 610.

[0034] The second transfer mechanism 700 is used to transfer the product in the positioning groove 210 after passing through the adjustment mechanism 500 to the positioning fixture 610.

[0035] As described above, the products that need to be arranged are placed in the vibratory feeder 110, which vibrates and arranges them. The products are then fed from the discharge end of the vibratory feeder 110 to the linear guide rail 120, arranging them in a straight line to the side of the indexing plate 200. The first transfer mechanism 300 transfers the products at the end of the arrangement on the linear guide rail 120 to a positioning slot 210 of the indexing plate 200. The indexing plate 200 rotates, transferring the products to the detection mechanism 400. The detection mechanism 400 then detects the products in the positioning slot 210 to determine their placement. The indexing plate 200 then transfers the products to the adjustment mechanism 500. When the product's position meets the requirements, the adjustment mechanism 500... No product repositioning is required. The indexing plate 200 can directly drive the product to continue rotating. When the product's position does not meet the requirements, the repositioning seat 510 in the repositioning mechanism 500 moves down, driving the repositioning end closer to the product. First, the product is moved out of the positioning slot 210. Then, the repositioning end drives the product to rotate around the vertical axis, adjusting the product to the required position. Next, the product is moved down into the positioning slot 210, and the indexing plate 200 drives the product to continue rotating. Finally, the second transfer mechanism 700 transfers the product to the positioning fixture 610 for arrangement. In this way, the mechanical system adjusts and arranges the position of products such as magnetic cores, reducing manual operation and effectively improving the efficiency and quality of product arrangement, thereby increasing production efficiency.

[0036] To further adjust the arrangement of products within the vibratory feeder 110, a structure for distinguishing the front and back of the products can be provided within the vibratory feeder 110. Specifically, the vibratory feeder 110 is equipped with a feeding trough connected to the linear vibration guide rail 120. A detector is installed on the vibratory feeder 110, with the detection end of the detector facing the feeding trough. In practical applications, the detector can be a fiber optic sensor or an image recognition device. An air blowing pipe is provided on the side of the feeding trough away from the center of the vibratory feeder 110. The air blowing pipe can blow the products in the feeding trough into the vibratory feeder 110. In practical applications, the air blowing pipe is connected to an air supply source, such as an air pump or an air valve. When the vibratory feeder 110 is working, the product enters the feeding trough in the vibratory feeder 110 and moves along the feeding trough to the linear vibrating guide rail 120. During this process, when the product passes the detection end, the detection end identifies the front and back of the product. For example, if the product to be arranged is set to be placed face up, when the product is detected to be placed face down, the air pipe blows the product in the feeding trough into the vibratory feeder 110 to be vibrated and fed again, while the product placed face up can continue to be discharged to the linear vibrating guide rail 120. In this way, the front and back of the product can be distinguished and fed, which is especially suitable for products such as small magnetic cores.

[0037] In practical applications, a detector and an air blowing pipe are used as a positive and negative judgment unit. Multiple such units, such as two, can be set in the vibratory feeder 110 along the conveying direction of the feeding trough, thereby improving the stability of product positive and negative separation and feeding.

[0038] Products arranged at the end of the linear vibration guide 120 can be directly transferred from the first transfer mechanism 300 to the positioning slot 210. Because products such as magnetic cores are small, high precision is required for position control. To facilitate accurate product movement, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first transfer mechanism 300 includes a transfer plate 310 and a first suction nozzle 320. The top side of the transfer plate 310 is provided with a transfer groove 311. The transfer plate 310 is located between the linear vibration guide rail 120 and the indexing plate 200. The transfer plate 310 can slide in the horizontal direction, so that the transfer groove 311 is connected to or offset from the linear vibration guide rail 120. The first suction nozzle 320 can move back and forth between the transfer groove 311 and a positioning groove 210. When the product is arranged and fed on the linear vibration guide rail 120, the transfer groove 311 on the transfer plate 310 is offset from the linear vibration guide rail 120. At this time, the side of the transfer plate 310 blocks the end of the linear vibration guide rail 120 to prevent the product from falling directly out of the linear vibration guide rail 120. When it is necessary to remove the product, the transfer plate 310 slides until the transfer groove 311 is directly opposite the linear vibration guide rail 120. At this time, the product can enter the transfer groove 311 for positioning. Then the transfer plate 310 slides again until the transfer groove 311 is offset from the linear vibration guide rail 120. At this time, the product can be moved horizontally to below the first suction nozzle 320, and the vibration of the linear vibration guide rail 120 is reduced to interfere with the product located in the transfer groove 311. Then the first suction nozzle 320 moves to the transfer groove 311 to remove the product and transfer it to the positioning groove 210, realizing accurate and stable transfer of the product.

[0039] The first transfer mechanism 300 has a drive source that can drive the transfer plate 310 to reciprocate and move horizontally. Specifically, a transfer base is provided next to the indexing plate 200, and a transfer translation drive is provided on the transfer base. The transfer translation drive is connected to the transfer plate 310 and drives the transfer plate 310 to slide horizontally. The transfer translation drive can have various structural forms, such as electric lead screw, pneumatic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder.

[0040] The first transfer mechanism 300 is equipped with a drive structure that allows the first suction nozzle 320 to move back and forth between the transfer groove 311 and a positioning groove 210. For example, a robotic arm can be directly used to drive the first suction nozzle 320, which moves horizontally and vertically. In this embodiment, the first transfer mechanism 300 includes a first base 330, a first lifting drive 340, a first translation drive 350, and a translation plate 360. The first lifting drive 340 is mounted on the first base 330, and the first translation drive 350 is mounted on the first lifting drive 340. The first lifting drive 340 can drive the first translation drive 350 to move up and down. The first translation drive 350 is connected to the translation plate 360. The first translation drive 350 can drive the translation plate 360 ​​to move between the transfer groove 311 and one of the positioning grooves 210. The first suction nozzle 320 is connected to the translation plate 360. In practical applications, the first translation drive 350 and the first lifting drive 340 are used to provide the driving force for reciprocating movement in a straight direction. There are various structural forms. For example, the driving source can be an electric screw, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0041] In this first transfer mechanism 300, the first lifting drive 340 and the first translation drive 350 respectively provide the first suction nozzle 320 with the driving force to reciprocate in the up-down and horizontal directions. When it is necessary to transfer the product to the positioning slot 210, the first translation drive 350 drives the translation plate 360 ​​to move above the transfer slot 311, and then the first lifting drive 340 drives the first suction nozzle 320 to move down to the transfer slot 311. The first suction nozzle 320 adsorbs and removes the product in the transfer slot 311. Then the first lifting drive 340 drives the first suction nozzle 320 to move up to remove the product from the transfer slot 311. The first translation drive 350 drives the translation plate 360 ​​to move above the positioning slot 210, and the first lifting drive 340 drives the first suction nozzle 320 to move down to place the product into the positioning slot 210 directly opposite it. In this way, the product can be transferred from the transfer slot 311 to a positioning slot 210.

[0042] The second transfer mechanism 700 can directly remove the product that has been adjusted in the positioning slot 210 and then transfer it to the material plate of the positioning fixture 610. In the arrangement of magnetic cores, since the identification mark for the placement of the magnetic core is located on one end face of the magnetic core, while the electrode is located on the other end face of the magnetic core, in order to directly connect with the electrode of the magnetic core in subsequent work, the magnetic core can be flipped before the arrangement, thereby saving the subsequent process of flipping each magnetic core one by one. Specifically, the second transfer mechanism 700 includes a flipping seat 710 and a second suction nozzle 720. The top side of the flipping seat 710 is provided with a negative pressure groove 711. The bottom of the negative pressure groove 711 is connected to a negative pressure suction tube 730. The flipping seat 710 can rotate around the horizontal axis and make the negative pressure groove 711 close to one of the positioning slots 210 or facing upward. The second suction nozzle 720 can move back and forth between the negative pressure groove 711 and the positioning fixture 610. The negative pressure suction tube 730 is used to connect to the negative pressure drive of an external device, such as a negative pressure pump. During operation, the indexing plate 200 drives the product to rotate to the side of the flipping seat 710. The flipping seat 710 rotates closer to the positioning groove 210, so that the negative pressure groove 711 is directly opposite the positioning groove 210. At this time, the negative pressure source of the external device generates negative pressure suction in the negative pressure groove 711 through the negative pressure suction tube 730, sucking the product into the negative pressure groove 711 for positioning. Then the flipping seat 710 reverses and resets, so that the product is placed facing upward in the negative pressure groove 711. At this time, the second suction nozzle 720 can move to the negative pressure groove 711 to transfer the product in the negative pressure groove 711 onto the material plate of the positioning fixture 610, thereby realizing the arrangement and sorting of the product.

[0043] The second transfer mechanism 700 has a drive structure that can drive the flipping seat 710 to rotate. Specifically, the second transfer mechanism 700 includes a second base 740, a transmission shaft 750, and a flipping drive 760. The transmission shaft 750 is rotatably connected to the second base 740, and the flipping drive 760 is connected to the second base 740. The flipping drive 760 is drively connected to the transmission shaft 750, and the flipping drive 760 can drive the transmission shaft 750 to rotate. The flipping drive 760 can have various structural forms. For example, the flipping drive 760 can be a motor or a rotary cylinder. The flipping seat 710 is connected to the outside of the transmission shaft 750. The flip drive 760 provides rotational driving force to the flip base 710. The flip drive 760 drives the flip base 710 to rotate through the transmission shaft 750 until the negative pressure groove 711 is close to or facing one of the positioning grooves 210. Specifically, when it is necessary to remove the product from the positioning groove 210, the flip drive 760 drives the flip base 710 to rotate through the transmission shaft 750, so that the negative pressure groove 711 on the flip base 710 is directly facing the product in the positioning groove 210. Then the flip drive 760 drives the transmission shaft 750 to reverse and reset, thereby flipping the product.

[0044] The second transfer mechanism 700 is equipped with a drive structure that can move the second suction nozzle 720 back and forth between the negative pressure groove 711 and the positioning fixture 610. For example, a robotic arm can be directly used to drive the second suction nozzle 720, which moves horizontally and vertically. In this embodiment, the second transfer mechanism 700 includes a gantry 770, a second translation drive 780, a second lifting drive 790, and a lifting plate 791. The second translation drive 780 is mounted on the gantry 770, and the second lifting drive 790 is mounted on the second translation drive 780. The second translation drive 780 can drive the second lifting drive 790 to move translatably between the negative pressure groove 711 and the positioning fixture 610. The second lifting drive 790 is connected to the lifting plate 791 and can drive the lifting plate 791 to move up and down. The second suction nozzle 720 is connected to the lifting plate 791. In practical applications, the second translation drive 780 and the second lifting drive 790 are used to provide the driving force for reciprocating movement in a straight line. There are many possible structural forms. For example, electric screws, cylinders or hydraulic cylinders can be used as driving sources.

[0045] In this second transfer mechanism 700, the second lifting drive 790 and the second translation drive 780 respectively provide driving forces for the second suction nozzle 720 to reciprocate in the up-down and horizontal directions. When it is necessary to transfer the product to the material plate of the positioning fixture 610, the second translation drive 780 drives the lifting plate 791 to move above the negative pressure groove 711, and then the second lifting drive 790 drives the second suction nozzle 720 to move down to the negative pressure groove 711. The second suction nozzle 720 adsorbs and removes the product in the negative pressure groove 711. Then the second lifting drive 790 drives the second suction nozzle 720 to move up to remove the product from the negative pressure groove 711. The second translation drive 780 drives the lifting plate 791 to move above the material plate of the positioning fixture 610, and then the second lifting drive 790 drives the second suction nozzle 720 to move down to place the product on the material plate of the positioning fixture 610. In this way, the product can be transferred from the negative pressure groove 711 to the material plate of the positioning fixture 610 for arrangement and sorting.

[0046] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, as a specific structural embodiment of the adjustment mechanism 500, the adjustment mechanism 500 includes a third base, a third lifting drive, and an adjustment drive 530. The third lifting drive is disposed on the third base and is driven to the adjustment seat 510. The third lifting drive can drive the adjustment seat 510 to move up and down. The third lifting drive has various structural forms, such as an electric screw, a cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. The adjustment drive 530 is disposed on the adjustment seat 510 and is driven to a third suction nozzle 520. The adjustment drive 530 can drive the third suction nozzle 520 to rotate around an axis in the up and down direction. The adjustment drive 530 has various structural forms, such as a motor or a rotary cylinder. The third suction nozzle 520 is the adjustment end. The third lifting drive provides the product with the driving force to move in the up and down direction, while the adjustment drive 530 provides the product with the driving force to rotate. When the product needs to be adjusted, the third lifting drive moves the third suction nozzle 520 down to the positioning groove 210, where the third suction nozzle 520 adsorbs and positions the product. Then, the third lifting drive moves the third suction nozzle 520 up away from the positioning groove 210. Next, the adjustment drive 530 drives the product to rotate, thereby adjusting the product's placement position. After completion, the third lifting drive moves the third suction nozzle 520 down to the positioning groove 210 again, and the product is placed back into the positioning groove 210.

[0047] To ensure timely replenishment of materials into the vibratory feeder 110, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes a vibrator 130 and a feeding bin 140. The vibrator 130 is drive-connected to the feeding bin 140, and one side of the feeding bin 140 extends downward at an angle to the vibratory feeder 110 and is provided with a discharge port. The feeding bin 140 can store magnetic cores to be arranged and sorted. During operation, the vibrator 130 drives the feeding bin 140 to vibrate, which shakes the magnetic cores in the feeding bin 140 down the angle of the feeding bin 140 and onto the vibratory feeder 110, where they fall from the discharge port into the vibratory feeder 110. This allows for the gradual replenishment of magnetic cores into the vibratory feeder 110 in batches, eliminating the need to directly add a large number of magnetic cores into the vibratory feeder 110.

[0048] The positioning fixture 610 can be fixed to the side of the flipping seat 710. To facilitate the loading and unloading of the material plate on the positioning fixture 610, in this embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning translation drive 620. The positioning translation drive 620 is connected to the positioning fixture 610 and can drive the positioning fixture 610 to reciprocate horizontally. In practical applications, the positioning translation drive 620 can be driven by a power source such as an electric screw, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. When it is necessary to load or unload the material plate on the positioning fixture 610, the positioning translation drive 620 drives the positioning fixture 610 to move closer to the operator. At this time, the operator can easily load or unload the material plate on the positioning fixture 610, which helps to prevent the operator from colliding with the electrical components on the side. After completion, the positioning translation drive 620 drives the positioning fixture 610 back to its original position.
