[0059] Embodiment 1

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1-11 The present application provides a kind of unordered feeding mechanism, comprising:

[0061] Frame body 1, frame body 1 is equipped with the conveying belt 2 extending along the first direction;

[0062] Turnover table 3, turnover table 3 is equipped with at least one, is installed on frame body 1 and is located on the side of conveying belt 2;Turnover table 3 is configured with load cell, load cell is used to weigh the special-shaped part 17 placed on the turnover table 3, to obtain actual weight;

[0063] Suction structure, installed on frame body 1, suction structure is used to adsorb special-shaped part 17 and transport to turnover table 3;

[0064] First drive assembly, first drive assembly is connected with turnover table 3, and first drive assembly is used to drive turnover table 3 to rotate around the first direction;

[0065] Control device, control device is configured to:

[0066] Determine whether actual weight is greater than the first preset weight;If yes, control first drive assembly to drive turnover table 3 to rotate reversely, to pour out the excess special-shaped part 17;If not, control first drive assembly to drive turnover table 3 to rotate forward, to place special-shaped part 17 on conveying belt 2;

[0067] Posture adjustment structure, posture adjustment structure is arranged on conveying belt 2, and posture adjustment structure is used to adjust the shape of special-shaped part 17 conveyed by conveying belt 2.

[0068] Specifically, frame body 1 is the basic support structure of the entire unordered feeding mechanism, and provides installation reference for conveying belt 2, turnover table 3, suction structure and other components;The design of frame body 1 needs to meet the weight bearing and stability requirements of the equipment, and the material can be selected from high-strength profiles, which are welded to form a frame.

[0069] Specifically, frame body 1 is equipped with conveying belt 2 extending along the first direction, and in the embodiment, the first direction is horizontal direction;The conveying surface of conveying belt 2 needs to have certain wear resistance and slip resistance to adapt to the conveying requirements of irregular shape of special-shaped part 17;In the embodiment, the driving of conveying belt 2 is realized through the conventional mode of motor and transmission shaft, that is, two transmission shafts are arranged along the first direction, one of which is connected with the output end of the motor, and the conveying belt 2 is sleeved on the transmission shaft.

[0070] Specifically, the first driving assembly includes a servo motor, a speed reducer and a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is arranged through the turnover table 3 in the first direction, the speed reducer is arranged at one end of the rotating shaft, and the speed reducer is connected with the output end of the servo motor; the servo motor provides controllable rotary power, the speed reducer is used for reducing the rotating speed and increasing the torque, so that the turnover table 3 can still rotate stably when carrying the special-shaped part 17; the rotating shaft serves as the rotating support of the turnover table 3 and is connected with the frame body 1 through a bearing, so as to ensure coaxiality and smoothness in the rotating process.

[0071] Specifically, the control device serves as the control center of the device and is realized by an upper computer in this embodiment; the control device is signal-connected with the weighing sensor and the first driving assembly, receives the analog electric signal of the actual weight transmitted by the weighing sensor, converts the analog electric signal into a digital signal through analog-digital conversion, and then performs subsequent operation processing; at the same time, the control device is built-in with a preset program, and the numerical relationship between the actual weight and the first preset weight is compared; the first preset weight can be set by itself according to needs.

[0072] When the actual weight is greater than the first preset weight, it is judged that the turnover table 3 carries an overweight part, at this time, the control device sends a reverse rotation instruction to the first driving assembly to drive the turnover table 3 to rotate reversely, so as to pour out the excess special-shaped part 17;

[0073] When the actual weight is less than or equal to the first preset weight, it is judged that the number of parts meets the feeding requirements, at this time, the control device sends a forward rotation instruction to the first driving assembly to drive the turnover table 3 to rotate forward, so as to stably put the special-shaped part 17 into the conveying belt 2, and complete the quantitative feeding action.

[0074] Working principle: the present application cooperates the frame body 1, the conveying belt 2, the turnover table 3, the adsorption structure, the first driving assembly and the control device, and constructs a complete special-shaped part 17 automatic feeding system, effectively solves the problems of low efficiency and insufficient precision of traditional manual feeding; the combination design of the turnover table 3 and the weighing sensor realizes the accurate quantitative control of the special-shaped part 17, the intelligent switching of forward and reverse rotation ensures the accuracy of single feeding quantity and avoids the situation of material accumulation or deficiency; at the same time, the adsorption structure replaces manual carrying, which significantly improves the feeding efficiency and reduces the operation risk; at the same time, the posture adjusting structure arranged on the conveying belt 2 can automatically correct the special-shaped part 17, so that it reaches the specified form, which is convenient for subsequent grabbing to the machining link for machining, so as to ensure the stability and accuracy of the subsequent machining link.

[0075] In some embodiments, the tilting table 3 has a placement slot, and the placement slot has a first opening on both sides along the second direction. The placement slot is used to accommodate irregularly shaped parts 17. A filter screen 32 is provided inside the placement slot. A slag discharge trough is formed between the filter screen 32 and the bottom surface of the placement slot. The slag discharge trough is used to accommodate the waste from filtration. A baffle plate 31 is provided on the side of the slag discharge trough near the conveyor belt 2. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second direction is horizontal and perpendicular to the first direction.

[0077] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the tilting table 3 has a placement slot. In the initial state, it extends along the second direction to form a temporary bearing space for the irregular part 17. The irregular part 17 grabbed by the adsorption structure falls accurately into the slot through the top opening of the placement slot. The slot has a first opening on both sides. When the tilting table 3 performs the rotating feeding action, the irregular part 17 can slide out along the opening direction. With the guidance and constraint of the slot, it is ensured that the irregular part 17 only moves along the preset trajectory, effectively preventing the irregular part 17 from being scattered in the non-feeding area of ​​the frame 1, and ensuring the orderliness of the feeding process.

[0078] Specifically, the interior of the placement tank is equipped with a filter screen 32, which is made of wear-resistant and breathable metal mesh or polymer screen. The filter screen 32 and the bottom of the placement tank form a slag discharge tank. When the irregular part 17 is placed in the tank, the waste adhering to the surface of the part will fall into the slag discharge tank through the filter screen 32 under the action of gravity.

[0079] Meanwhile, a baffle plate 31 is provided on the side of the slag discharge trough near the conveyor belt 2. When the tilting table 3 rotates in the reverse direction to discharge material, the waste in the slag discharge trough is discharged from the first opening on the side away from the conveyor belt 2. When the tilting table 3 rotates in the forward direction to discharge material, the baffle plate 31 forms a seal on the side of the slag discharge trough facing the conveyor belt 2 to prevent waste from falling onto the conveyor belt 2 and to ensure the cleanliness of the material feeding.

[0080] In some embodiments, the control device is further configured to: determine whether the tilting table 3 performs a reverse rotation action within a first preset time; if not, control the first drive assembly to drive the tilting table 3 to rotate in the reverse direction so that the waste in the slag discharge trough is discharged through the first opening.

[0081] Specifically, the control device is pre-configured with a waste cleaning trigger mechanism. When the control device continuously monitors and determines that the turnover table 3 has not performed a reverse rotation action within the first preset time period (the first preset time period can be flexibly set according to the actual working conditions of the production line, such as adjusting according to the cleanliness requirements of parts, the rate of waste generation, etc.), the "forced waste removal" process is triggered.

[0082] At this time, the control device sends a specific control instruction to the first driving assembly to drive the turnover table 3 to perform a reverse rotation action. During the reverse rotation of the turnover table 3, the accumulated waste in the slag discharge groove is discharged out of the turnover table 3 through the first opening by means of gravity and the tilting movement of the turnover table 3. The present application periodically checks the reverse action of the turnover table 3 to forcibly clean the accumulated waste in the slag discharge groove, avoids the slag discharge groove from being blocked due to long-term accumulation of waste, ensures the continuous and effective screening of the filter screen 32 and the stability of the accuracy of the weighing detection of the turnover table 3, and improves the self-cleaning capability and long-term operation reliability of the equipment from the process mechanism level.

[0083] In some embodiments, the turnover table 3 is provided in a plurality, and the plurality of turnover tables 3 are arranged in a straight line along the first direction on the frame body 1.

[0084] The control device is further configured to sequentially control the plurality of turnover tables 3 to perform the rotation action.

[0085] Specifically, to adapt to different production scale and efficiency requirements, the turnover table 3 can be provided in a plurality, and the plurality of turnover tables 3 are installed in a straight line along the first direction on the frame body 1, and each turnover table 3 is connected with a corresponding first driving assembly. In this layout, the adsorption structure can flexibly transport the special-shaped parts 17 to different turnover tables 3, and a parallel feeding process is formed by using the spatial distribution of multiple stations.

[0086] Specifically, taking control of three turnover tables 3 as an example for description: the three turnover tables 3 are sequentially numbered, and the control device sends a turnover driving instruction to the first driving assembly corresponding to each turnover table 3 at a preset instruction interval time (in this embodiment, the instruction interval time is 30s) in the order of numbering to sequentially control the turnover tables 3 to perform the rotation action. The rotation action is that the turnover table 3 rotates forward or reversely around the rotation shaft.

[0087] In some embodiments, the posture adjusting structure includes a coarse adjustment assembly 4 and a fine adjustment assembly. The coarse adjustment assembly 4 is arranged on the frame body 1 and located close to the turnover table 3, and is located above the conveying belt 2. The coarse adjustment assembly 4 is used to adjust the special-shaped part 17 to a pre-tilting posture. The fine adjustment assembly is arranged on the frame body 1 and located above the conveying belt 2, and is used to receive the special-shaped part 17 in the pre-tilting posture and adjust it to a specified posture.

[0088] Specifically, the posture adjusting structure includes a coarse adjustment assembly 4 and a fine adjustment assembly. The coarse adjustment assembly 4 is installed on the frame body 1 and arranged close to the turnover table 3, and is located in the upper area of the conveying belt 2. For the special-shaped part 17 quantitatively fed by the turnover table 3, a preliminary posture is first adjusted to a pre-tilting posture (i.e., as shown in FIG. 6) which is convenient for subsequent fine adjustment processing. Figure 8The profiled part 17 provided by the present application is shown. The coarse adjustment assembly 4 makes the reference surface 171 of the profiled part 17 upward or downward, which is the basis for fine adjustment. The fine adjustment assembly is also arranged above the conveying belt 2 and forms a process link with the coarse adjustment assembly 4. It receives the profiled part 17 in the pre-inverted state after coarse adjustment and finally adjusts it to the specified shape required for subsequent processing and assembly (the reference surface 171 is upward). It ensures the consistency of the part posture in the next process and provides protection for the stable and high-precision operation of the production line. Through the strategy of hierarchical adjustment, the posture adjustment efficiency and accuracy requirements are balanced, and the diverse posture correction requirements of the profiled part 17 due to complex structure are adapted.

[0089] Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the reference surface 171 of the profiled part 17 is upward, the profiled part 17 is adjusted to the specified shape. At this time, the connecting rod 172 on the reference surface 171 is easily clamped for subsequent operation.

[0090] In some embodiments, the coarse adjustment assembly 4 comprises:

[0091] The first support frame 41 is arranged above the conveying belt 2, and the side of the first support frame 41 facing the conveying belt 2 is provided with a second opening;

[0092] The first motor 43 is arranged on the side of the first support frame 41 along the second direction. The driving end of the first motor 43 is connected with a first rotating shaft, and the other end of the first rotating shaft is rotationally connected with the first support frame 41. A stirring impeller 45 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft, and the stirring impeller 45 has a first interval with the conveying belt 2. The first motor 43 is used to drive the stirring impeller 45 to rotate around the second direction;

[0093] The first separation mechanism is arranged on the side of the first support frame 41 close to the turnover table 3. The first separation mechanism is used to separate a plurality of profiled parts 17;

[0094] The first photoelectric sensor is arranged on the side of the stirring impeller 45 close to the turnover table 3 and is located between the stirring impeller 45 and the first separation mechanism. The first photoelectric sensor is connected with the control device;

[0095] The second photoelectric sensor is arranged on the side of the stirring impeller 45 away from the turnover table 3 and is located between the stirring impeller 45 and the fine adjustment assembly. The second photoelectric sensor is connected with the control device;

[0096] The control device is further configured to control the first partition mechanism to descend and control the first motor 43 to start driving the poking impeller 45 to rotate when the first photoelectric sensor detects the first signal, until the special-shaped part 17 is adjusted to the pre-tilting state and passes below the poking impeller 45; and control the first motor 43 to stop when the second photoelectric sensor detects the second signal, so that the poking impeller 45 stops moving, and the first partition mechanism rises, so that the special-shaped part 17 in the pre-tilting state passes.

[0097] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first support frame 41 is arranged above the conveying belt 2, and a side of the first support frame 41 facing the conveying surface of the conveying belt 2 is provided with a second opening, so as to form a mounting base frame of the coarse adjustment assembly 4; the first motor 43 is arranged on one side of the first support frame 41 along the second direction, and the driving end of the first motor 43 is connected with a first rotating shaft, and the other end of the first rotating shaft is rotatably connected with the first support frame 41 through a bearing; the poking impeller 45 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft, and the poking impeller 45 has a first interval with the conveying belt 2; when the special-shaped part 17 is in the pre-tilting state, the height of the special-shaped part 17 is lower than the first interval, and the special-shaped part 17 can pass below the poking impeller 45; if the special-shaped part 17 is in other states, the height of the special-shaped part 17 is higher than the first interval, and the first motor 43 is operated to drive the poking impeller 45 to rotate around the second direction, and the special-shaped part 17 on the conveying belt 2 is subjected to an external force by the mechanical poking action of the poking impeller 45, so as to adjust the state of the special-shaped part 17;

[0098] Meanwhile, the first support frame 41 is provided with a first partition mechanism near the turnover table 3, and in the embodiment, the first partition mechanism includes a second air cylinder 42 and a second baffle 44; the second air cylinder 42 is fixed on the first support frame 41, the driving end of the second air cylinder 42 is connected with the second baffle 44, and the second air cylinder 42 is used to drive the second baffle 44 to move along the third direction; when the second air cylinder 42 drives the second baffle 44 to descend, the subsequent part is blocked from advancing, so as to ensure that only one part is adjusted at the current station; when the second air cylinder 42 drives the second baffle 44 to ascend, the part is allowed to continue to be conveyed;

[0099] Specifically, the first photoelectric sensor and the second photoelectric sensor are arranged in pairs and are respectively located on the feeding side and the discharging side of the poking impeller 45, and the detection light paths of the first photoelectric sensor and the second photoelectric sensor are parallel to the second direction;

[0100] Specifically, when the first photoelectric sensor detects the first signal that the special-shaped part 17 passes (the height of the special-shaped part 17 causes the first photoelectric sensor to generate a blocking signal), the control device sends an instruction to the second cylinder 42 of the first separation mechanism to drive the second baffle 44 to descend along the third direction to block the subsequent parts from entering the current adjustment station, ensuring that a single part receives independent posture adjustment; at the same time, the first motor 43 is started to drive the stirring impeller 45 to rotate around the second direction, and the mechanical stirring of the stirring impeller 45 is used to exert an external force on the special-shaped part 17 on the conveying belt 2 to correct the posture (for the special-shaped part 17 in the upright state, the stirring impeller 45 stirs the special-shaped part 17, and the special-shaped part 17 is flipped backward to the pre-inverted state; and for the special-shaped part 17 facing the two sides of the conveying belt 2, after the stirring impeller 45 stirs the special-shaped part 17, the special-shaped part 17 is flipped backward to the upright state, and then the special-shaped part 17 in the upright state is continuously stirred by the stirring impeller 45, and the special-shaped part 17 is flipped backward to the pre-inverted state after being stirred), and after the special-shaped part 17 is adjusted to the pre-inverted state, its height is lower than the first interval between the stirring impeller 45 and the conveying belt 2, and can smoothly pass below the stirring impeller 45; when the second photoelectric sensor detects the second signal (i.e., the height of the special-shaped part 17 causes the second photoelectric sensor to generate a blocking signal), the control device controls the first motor 43 to stop, and then the stirring impeller 45 stops stirring, and synchronously controls the second cylinder 42 to drive the second baffle 44 to retract to open the channel and allow the next special-shaped part 17 to be adjusted to continue to be conveyed to the stirring impeller 45. Through the cooperation of the mechanical structure and the electrical control logic, the special-shaped part 17 is quickly and roughly adjusted, laying a foundation for the subsequent fine adjustment link; at the same time, relying on the closed-loop detection and feedback of the first photoelectric sensor and the second photoelectric sensor, the accuracy of the rough adjustment action triggering is ensured, and it is ensured that only a single part is adjusted each time, thereby improving the efficiency and consistency of the posture adjustment of the special-shaped part 17 and meeting the needs of continuous posture adjustment of the production line.

[0101] In some embodiments, the fine adjustment assembly comprises:

[0102] The second support frame 5 is arranged above the conveying belt 2, and the contact sensor 7 is arranged on the second support frame 5, which is used to identify whether the special-shaped part 17 is adjusted to a specified state;

[0103] The second separation mechanism is arranged between the second photoelectric sensor and the first support frame 41, and is used to separate the special-shaped part 17; when the second photoelectric sensor detects the second signal, the control device is further configured to control the second separation mechanism to descend;

[0104] The first cylinder 6 is arranged on the frame body 1 and extends along the third direction. The first cylinder 6 is located on the side of the second support frame 5 away from the first support frame 41. The driving end of the first cylinder 6 is connected with the first baffle 18. The first cylinder 6 is used to drive the first baffle 18 to move along the third direction. The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the second direction.

[0105] The turnover unit is arranged on the side of the first cylinder 6 along the second direction. The turnover unit is used to turn the identified irregular-shaped part 17 that is not adjusted to the specified shape to the specified shape.

[0106] The first pushing unit is arranged on the other side of the first cylinder 6 along the second direction. The first pushing unit is used to push the irregular-shaped part 17 to the turnover unit.

[0107] The second pushing unit is arranged on the side of the turnover unit along the first direction. The second pushing unit is used to push the irregular-shaped part 17 adjusted to the specified shape out of the turnover unit.

[0108] The second separation mechanism is arranged between the second photoelectric sensor and the first support frame 41. In this embodiment, the second separation mechanism includes a fourth cylinder 28 and a third baffle 29. The fourth cylinder 28 is fixed on the first support frame 41. The driving end of the fourth cylinder 28 is connected with the third baffle 29. The fourth cylinder 28 is used to drive the third baffle 29 to move along the third direction. When the second photoelectric sensor detects the second signal, the control device controls the fourth cylinder 28 of the second separation mechanism to drive the third baffle 29 to descend, so as to block the subsequent part from advancing, and ensure that only one part is detected in the current station.

[0109] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the second support frame 5 is arranged above the conveying belt 2, and a contact sensor 7 is arranged on the second support frame 5. The contact sensor 7 can identify whether the current posture of the special-shaped part 17 meets the specified shape requirement by contacting the surface of the special-shaped part 17, thereby providing a basis for judgment for fine adjustment. In this embodiment, the contact sensor 7 is a probe type contact sensor. In this embodiment, the reference surface 171 of the special-shaped part 17 has a plurality of connecting rods 172. The contact sensor 7 contacts the upward surface of the special-shaped part 17 to identify whether the upward surface of the special-shaped part 17 has a connecting rod 172. If it is identified, it indicates that the current special-shaped part 17 is in the specified shape. If it is not identified, it indicates that the reference surface 171 of the current special-shaped part 17 is downward. A first cylinder 6 is arranged on the side of the second support frame 5 away from the first support frame 41. The first cylinder 6 is arranged on the frame body 1 and extends in a third direction (in this embodiment, the third direction is the vertical direction). The driving end of the first cylinder 6 is connected with a first baffle 18. The first cylinder 6 is connected with a control device. When the second photoelectric sensor detects a second signal (i.e., the height of the special-shaped part 17 causes the second photoelectric sensor to generate a shielding signal), the control device also controls the first cylinder 6 to start and drive the first baffle 18 to descend to block the special-shaped part 17 from continuing to move forward.

[0110] Meanwhile, a turnover unit is arranged on the side of the first cylinder 6 along the second direction. A first pushing unit is arranged on the other side of the second direction. The two units form a cooperative working relationship. When the contact sensor 7 identifies the shape of the special-shaped part 17, the control device drives the first pushing unit to push the part from the conveying belt 2 to the turnover unit. At this time, the control device controls the first baffle 18 and the third baffle 29 to rise, so that the next special-shaped part 17 moves to the contact sensor 7 for detection. After the turnover unit receives the part, the control device determines whether to perform posture turnover adjustment on the part according to the detection result sent by the contact sensor 7, so that the part is accurately transformed to the specified shape. Then, the special-shaped part 17 is pushed into the next process by the second pushing unit. The whole fine adjustment assembly takes the contact sensor 7 as a detection and judgment unit. The first pushing unit and the turnover unit cooperate to perform posture correction. Through the cooperative action of multiple components, the accurate posture of the part after rough adjustment is calibrated, the demand of the production line for the high-precision posture of the special-shaped part 17 is met, the directness of contact detection and the reliability of mechanical turnover are utilized to ensure the accuracy and stability of the fine adjustment link, and the fine adjustment scene of the complex posture of the special-shaped part 17 is adapted.

[0111] Specifically, in the present embodiment, a dense pressure sensing unit (such as a thin film pressure sensor array) is arranged on the surface of the contact sensor 7. When the part comes into contact with the sensor, the sensing units at different positions will generate differentiated pressure signals according to the characteristics of the reference surface 171 (in the present embodiment, the connecting rod 172 on the reference surface 171); the control device pre-stores the pressure distribution map of the standard reference surface 171 (such as the pressure distribution characteristics of the reference surface 171 when it is ideally upward), and compares the real-time detected pressure map with it; if matched, it is judged that the reference surface 171 is upward, and the special-shaped part 17 is in the specified form, at which time the posture correction of the turnover unit is not needed; if not matched, the posture correction is performed by the turnover unit.

[0112] Specifically, the first pushing unit includes a first telescopic rod 101 and a first pushing plate 102. The first telescopic rod 101 is arranged on the frame body 1 along the second direction, and the driving end of the first telescopic rod 101 is connected with the first pushing plate 102. The first telescopic rod 101 is used to drive the first pushing plate 102 to move along the second direction to push the special-shaped part 17 into the turnover unit.

[0113] Specifically, the second pushing unit includes a second telescopic rod 111 and a second pushing plate 112. The second telescopic rod 111 is arranged on the frame body along the first direction, and the driving end of the second telescopic rod 111 is connected with the second pushing plate. The second telescopic rod 111 is used to drive the second pushing plate 112 to move along the first direction to push the special-shaped part 17 out of the turnover unit into the next process.

[0114] In some embodiments, the turnover unit includes a rotary air cylinder 8 and a clamping piece 9. The driving end of the rotary air cylinder 8 is connected with the clamping piece 9, and the rotary air cylinder 8 is used to drive the clamping piece 9 to turn over. The clamping piece 9 is used to clamp the special-shaped part 17.

[0115] Specifically, the turnover unit is composed of the rotary air cylinder 8 and the clamping piece 9. The rotary air cylinder 8 serves as a power source, and its driving end is directly connected with the clamping piece 9, which can accurately output rotary power to drive the clamping piece 9 to turn over.

[0116] When the turnover unit needs to perform posture correction, the first pushing unit pushes the part to the working area of the turnover unit, the clamping piece 9 quickly clamps the part, and the rotary air cylinder 8 drives the clamping piece 9 to perform accurate turning over according to the instruction of the control device, through the set turning angle (such as 180°), the special-shaped part 17 is converted from the current posture (the reference surface 171 downward) to the specified form (the reference surface 171 upward), which provides the part with a qualified posture for the subsequent process. With the accuracy of the rotary air cylinder 8 and the adaptability of the clamping piece 9, the turnover is stable and reliable, which meets the posture fine adjustment requirement of the special-shaped part 17, and the part can be clamped by the subsequent detection assembly to the next link after turnover in the correct posture.

[0117] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the clamping member 9 can adopt a double-plate clamping structure, and the design and coordination logic are as follows: the two clamping plates are arranged in parallel, and the distance between the two clamping plates can be accurately controlled through the extension and retraction of the third extension rod extending in the third direction, so as to realize self-adaptive clamping of the different-size special-shaped parts 17; the fixed end of the third extension rod is rigidly connected with the driving end of the rotary air cylinder 8, the rotary air cylinder 8 drives the third extension rod to rotate as a whole around the second direction, and then drives the clamped part to rotate synchronously; when the first pushing unit pushes the part to the preset position between the two clamping plates, the control device instructs the third extension rod to retract, so that the clamping plates gradually approach the part, until the pressure sensor (embedded on the surface of the clamping plate) on the inner side of the clamping plate detects a preset pressure value (such as 1.2N), at which time the clamping plate stops moving and maintains the pressure, so as to ensure stable clamping of the part without causing damage; then, the rotary air cylinder 8 starts and rotates by a preset angle (such as 180°), and the part posture is turned over; after turning over, the third extension rod reverses to release the clamping plate, and the second pushing unit pushes the special-shaped part 17 into the subsequent process; through the linear motion of the third extension rod and the rotary motion of the motor, the structure realizes reliable grabbing and precise turning over of the special-shaped part 17, and through pressure feedback control, it is adapted to parts with different shapes and materials, so as to ensure the stability and adaptability of the fine adjustment process.

[0118] When the posture correction is not needed, the first pushing unit pushes the part to the working area of the turning unit, and then the second pushing unit starts to push the special-shaped part 17 into the next process.

[0119] In some embodiments, further comprising: a detection assembly, the detection assembly comprising: the detection assembly is arranged on the side of the turning unit away from the second pushing unit, and the second pushing unit is used to push the special-shaped part 17 adjusted to the specified shape to the detection assembly; the detection assembly comprises:

Among them, the third air cylinder 24 is used to drive the clamping jaw 26 to move along the third direction, and the swing air cylinder 25 is used to adjust the angle of the clamping jaw 26; when the first identification module 20 identifies the special-shaped part 17 on the rotating device 19, the third motor 23 drives the third air cylinder 24 to exit the identification area of the first identification module 20; after the identification is completed, the third motor 23 drives the third air cylinder 24 to move above the rotating device 19, and controls the clamping jaw 26 to clamp the special-shaped part 17 (in this embodiment, the clamping jaw 26 clamps the connecting rod 172 on the reference surface 171).

[0125] Specifically, the conveying assembly is provided with a waste barrel 22 on one side along the second direction, and the other side is a conveying unit 27, which is used to convey the special-shaped part 17 to the next process; when the first identification module 20 identifies that the current special-shaped part 17 is an unqualified part, the clamping jaw 26 is controlled to move above the waste barrel 22, and the unqualified special-shaped part 17 is discarded; when the first identification module 20 identifies that the current special-shaped part 17 is a qualified part, the clamping jaw 26 is controlled to move above the conveying unit 27, so that the special-shaped part 17 enters the subsequent link;

[0126] Specifically, in the embodiment, the conveying unit is further provided with a second identification module 21 on one side in the second direction. When the jaw 26 clamps the special-shaped part 17, the third cylinder 24 is used to make the special-shaped part 17 at the same height as the second identification module 21. The second identification module 21 takes a side view of the part and transmits it to the control device. The control device compares the image with the preset qualified standard data to further confirm whether the special-shaped part 17 has defects such as surface indentation, size deviation, and uneven material.

[0128] The adsorption assembly comprises:

[0129] The support block 30 is fixedly arranged on the third driving assembly, and the inside of the support block 30 is provided with a tension sensor 34; the top of the tension sensor 34 is connected with a sensing block 33, and the top of the sensing block 33 extends out of the support block 30;

[0130] The connecting shaft 35 is connected with the tension sensor 34 at one end, and the other end of the connecting shaft 35 is provided with an adsorption head 16 through a connecting flange, and the adsorption head 16 is used to adsorb the special-shaped part 17;

[0131] The buffer mechanism is sleeved on the connecting shaft 35, and the buffer mechanism comprises: a spring 37, a protective cover 38 and a fixed plate 36, the fixed plate 36 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 35, the spring 37 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 35 and located between the fixed plate 36 and the tension sensor 34; the protective cover 38 is sleeved on the outside of the spring 37 and the fixed plate 36, and the end of the protective cover 38 is fixedly connected with the support block 30; one end of the spring 37 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the protective cover 38, and the other end of the spring 37 is connected with the fixed plate 36; the buffer mechanism is used to buffer when the adsorption head 16 is subjected to axial impact;

[0132] The upper limit sensing structure is arranged on the side wall of the support block 30, and is used to detect the position of the sensing block 33 and monitor the upper limit of the axial movement of the connecting shaft 35 and the adsorption head 16.

[0133] Specifically, the second driving assembly and the third driving assembly move in different spatial directions in cooperation, the adsorption assembly can flexibly reach the designated point of the material storage area, accurately adsorb the irregular-shaped part 17, and then move the irregular-shaped part 17 to the placement groove of the turnover table 3 according to the feeding requirement, so as to provide stable part input for subsequent quantitative feeding and posture adjustment process. With the spatial movement cooperation of the multiple driving assemblies, the flexibility and accuracy of the adsorption structure for taking and placing the irregular-shaped part 17 are improved, and the irregular-shaped part 17 is adapted to the various feeding position requirements caused by the irregular shape.

[0134] In the embodiment, the second driving assembly is composed of two first guide rails 12 arranged in parallel along a first direction and extending along a second direction, and a first connecting piece 13 fitted and installed between the two first guide rails 12. The two first guide rails 12 are symmetrically erected on the frame body 1 to provide stable sliding support for the first connecting piece 13. The first connecting piece 13 is slidably connected to the first guide rails 12 at both ends through sliding blocks, can be flexibly moved along the second direction, and the top of the first connecting piece 13 is fixedly connected with the third driving assembly to realize power transmission.

[0135] The third driving assembly includes a second guide rail 14 and a second connecting piece 15. The second connecting piece 15 is fixedly connected with the first connecting piece 13 and moves along the second direction synchronously with the first connecting piece 13. The second guide rail 14 extends along a third direction and is slidably connected with the second connecting piece 15, so that the second guide rail 14 can drive the adsorption assembly at the bottom to ascend and descend along the third direction. Through the cascade cooperation of the double guide rail assemblies, the second driving assembly drives the adsorption assembly to translate along the second direction to adjust the horizontal position, and the third driving assembly drives the adsorption assembly to ascend and descend along the third direction to control the taking and placing height. The two assemblies cooperate to build a precise two-dimensional motion trajectory, so as to ensure that the adsorption assembly can adapt to the storage position of the irregular-shaped part 17 and the feeding station of the turnover table 3, realize stable grabbing and moving of the part, improve the motion accuracy, load capacity and maintenance convenience of the adsorption structure by means of the standardized guide rail structure, and adapt to the precise control requirement of the production line on the feeding position of the irregular-shaped part 17.

[0136] Specifically, in the embodiment, the adsorption head 16 is an electromagnetic adsorption head.

[0137] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the adsorption assembly includes an adsorption head 16 and a connecting rod 18. Figures 9-11As shown, the adsorption assembly includes a support block 30, which is rigidly fixed to the third driving assembly as the basic structure of the entire assembly; a tension sensor 34 is precisely installed in the internal cavity of the support block 30, and the top of the tension sensor 34 is connected with a sensing block 33, and the top end of the sensing block 33 extends to the outside space of the support block 30; this design makes that when the adsorption head 16 contacts and picks up the special-shaped part 17, the weight and the inertial force of the special-shaped part 17 will be transmitted to the tension sensor 34 through the connecting shaft 35, so as to realize real-time monitoring of the adsorption state (such as whether the part is successfully grabbed or whether it slips); at the same time, after the control device receives the real-time weight value fed back by the tension sensor 34, it is compared with the first preset weight, and when the real-time weight value is greater than the first preset weight, it is judged that the adsorption head 16 adsorbs too many special-shaped parts 17, in order to prevent the subsequent process from being chaotic, the control device will immediately control the adsorption head 16 to release all the parts, and control the adsorption head 16 to re-adsorb the special-shaped part 17;

[0138] The buffering mechanism is the key to ensure the stability and softness of the pick-and-place process. It is mainly composed of a spring 37, a protective cover 38 and a fixed plate 36. The fixed plate 36 is fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft 35; the spring 37 is also sleeved on the connecting shaft 35 and is pre-compressed between the fixed plate 36 and the inner wall of the support block 30; the protective cover 38 serves as an outer cover, and its end is fixedly connected with the support block 30, encapsulating the spring 37 and the fixed plate 36 in the clean space inside it, effectively preventing dust and foreign matter from invading. When the adsorption head 16 accidentally collides with the special-shaped part 17 or the table in the vertical direction, the axial impact force generated will make the connecting shaft 35 drive the fixed plate 36 to compress the spring 37, and most of the impact energy will be absorbed through the deformation of the spring 37, thereby providing effective protection for the precise tension sensor 34 and the driving assembly, and preventing the parts from being damaged due to hard contact;

[0139] At the same time, the side wall of the support block 30 is provided with an upper limit sensing structure, which includes a connecting plate 39 arranged on the side wall of the support block 30, and a proximity switch 40 arranged on the connecting plate 39. In this embodiment, the proximity switch 40 is a non-contact proximity switch, and its sensing end is directly opposite the movement track of the sensing block 33. When the connecting shaft 35 is accidentally retracted, it will drive the sensing block 33 to approach the upper limit sensing structure. Once the sensing block 33 enters its detection range, the structure will immediately send a signal to the control device, thereby immediately stopping the downward movement of the third driving assembly, preventing rigid collision of the connecting shaft 35, the adsorption head 16 and other components, and accurately limiting the upper limit of the axial movement of the entire adsorption assembly, ensuring the safety of the equipment operation.
