Specifically, the piston rod of the cylinder 61 extends, driving the arm 14 fixed on the side slider plate 66 to extend and then transfer the picked-up stamped parts. Due to the cooperation of the side slide rail 69 and the side slider 610, plus the cooperation of the upper slide rail 67 and the upper slider 68, the arm 14 provided on the side slider plate 66 can slide smoothly; in addition, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, except for the slide rail and slider which are embedded connections, all other components are connected by fasteners, such as bolts or screws. During the processing, when the piston rod of the cylinder 61 extends, it drives the cylinder connecting plate 64, the upper slider plate 65, and the side slider plate 66 to move. At this time, through the connection relationship between the slider and the slide rail, the arm connecting plate 13 can move stably, thereby driving the arm bracket and the stamping part connected to the arm connecting plate 13 to move stably. After reaching the set position, the suction cup 17 releases the stamping part to complete one stamping part transfer.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 This application includes a schematic diagram of the X-axis movement assembly and a schematic diagram of the V-shaped slot. Figure 1 The two X-axis movement assemblies 20 described above are mounted on the two YZ-axis movement assemblies 30. The YZ-axis movement assemblies 30 include an X-axis drive assembly 71 for driving the X-axis movement assemblies 20. The X-axis drive assembly 71 includes gears for driving. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 12 The part marked 71 is the gear section of the X-axis drive assembly 71. The gear meshing drives the X-axis movement assembly 20 to move forward or backward in the X direction, and simultaneously drives the arm assembly 10 to move forward or backward in the X direction; for example...

Figure 6 The X-axis rack 24 is fastened to the X-axis slide rail base 21, and the teeth of the X-axis rack 24 correspond to the gear of the X-axis drive assembly 71 to realize mutual conversion between rotation and linear movement. Figure 12 The gear of the X-axis drive assembly 71 protrudes from the lower surface, Figure 5 The X-axis rack 24 protrudes from the upper surface of the X-axis slide rail base 21. After assembly, the gear of the X-axis drive assembly 71 engages the X-axis rack 24, and the gear engagement drives the X-axis rack 24 to make the X-axis moving assembly 20 move forward or backward in the X direction. Since the two X-axis slide rails 26 are used to move the X-axis moving assembly 20 forward or backward in the X direction, the movement can be smoothly performed. The present application protects the cables using the X-axis drag chain 27. The drag chain is an industrial accessory that can protect and pull the reciprocating cables, oil pipes, gas pipes and other pipelines, reduce wear and noise, and support high-speed operation scenarios.

[0037] Figure 5 In the embodiment, the X-axis moving assembly 20 further includes an X-axis inductive sheet 29 arranged on the X-axis slide rail base 21 for sensing, two X-axis limiting blocks 210 arranged on the X-axis slide rail base 21 for limiting the movement of the X-axis moving assembly 20, two buffer rubber pads 211 arranged on the two X-axis limiting blocks 210 for buffering, and an X-axis junction box group 212 arranged at the end of the X-axis drag chain groove 28 for connecting cables. The two X-axis limiting blocks 210 are arranged on the X-axis slide rail base 21 opposite to each other for limiting the movement range of the X-axis moving assembly 20, and the buffer rubber pads 211 are used for buffering the impact force. The X-axis inductive sheet 29 is used for sensing the position, and when the X-axis moving assembly 20 moves to the position, the proximity switch senses the X-axis inductive sheet 29 to send information to the controller.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 7 The Y-axis sliding table combination schematic diagram of the present application is as shown in Figure 7 The Y-axis sliding table combination 40 of the present application is a gantry type frame showing Y direction, which includes a transversely placed Y-axis frame 412, two Y-axis bases 410 arranged at both ends of the Y-axis frame 412 for connecting the machine table, a Y-axis rack 42 arranged on the Y-axis frame 412 for driving, two Y-axis sliding rails 43 arranged on the Y-axis frame 412 for sliding support, two Y-axis proximity switches 48 arranged on the Y-axis frame 412 for sensing, a Y-axis opening drag chain 49 arranged on the Y-axis frame 412 for protecting the cable, and two Y-axis limiting seats 413 for limiting; the two Y-axis bases 410 are fixedly connected to the machine table, and the Y-axis rack 42 is used to move the engaging member; Figure 7 The two Y-axis bases 410 are arranged at both ends of the Y-axis frame 412 to form a gantry type frame, and the Y-axis frame 412 is in Y direction relative to the X direction; the two Y-axis sliding rails 43 are separately arranged on the upper and lower sides of the Y-axis frame 412, and the Y-axis rack 42 is arranged between the two Y-axis sliding rails 43 and is slightly offset to the side of the Y-axis frame 412; Figure 7 The two Y-axis proximity switches 48 are separately arranged at the left side and the middle position of the Y-axis frame 412.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 8 The YZ-axis moving combination schematic diagram of the present application, the two YZ-axis moving combinations 30 are arranged on the Y-axis sliding table combination 40, and the YZ-axis moving combination 30 further includes a Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31, two Y-axis sliding blocks 32 arranged on the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 and slidingly connected to the two Y-axis sliding rails 43, a Y-axis drive combination 37 arranged on the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 and engagingly connected to the Y-axis rack 42 for driving, and a Y-axis sensing sheet 311 arranged on the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 and used for sensing the two Y-axis proximity switches 48; when the gear of the Y-axis drive combination 37 rotates, the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 moves in Y direction on the Y-axis frame 412; as shown in Figure 8 In the embodiment of the present application, the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 is a flat plate sliding on the Y-axis frame 412, and since the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 has a thickness, that is, Figure 8 The two side surfaces of the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 are called thickness surfaces, so the thickness surfaces of the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 correspond to the two Y-axis limiting seats 413, and the two Y-axis limiting seats 413 are separately arranged at both ends of the moving stroke to limit the moving range of the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31; the two Y-axis sliding blocks 32 and the Y-axis sensing sheet 311 are fixed to the side of the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 facing the Y-axis frame 412 through fasteners; Figure 8Each of the Y-axis sliders 32 is divided into two sections, but this is not intended to be limiting, for example, it can be divided into three or four sections, as long as the number of Y-axis sliding rails 43 can be securely connected, and should be within the scope of the present application. After assembly, the Y-axis slider 32 and the Y-axis sliding rail 43 combine to achieve smooth sliding function. In addition, the Y-axis sensing sheet 311 is fixed at the lower corner of the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31. During the sliding process of the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31, the Y-axis sensing sheet 311 will sequentially sense the two Y-axis proximity switches 48, and the two Y-axis proximity switches 48 will send the sliding position information of the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 to the controller. In addition, the Y-axis drive assembly 37 is fixedly connected to the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 by fasteners. The gear of the Y-axis drive assembly 37 protrudes through the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31. The gear of the Y-axis drive assembly 37 is meshingly connected to the Y-axis rack 42. Since the Y-axis rack 42 is fixed to the Y-axis frame 412, when the gear of the Y-axis drive assembly 37 rotates, the Y-axis sliding bottom plate 31 advances or retreats in the Y direction.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , and then the Z direction movement structure will be described as follows Figure 9As shown, on the side of the Y-axis sliding base plate 31 facing away from the Y-axis frame 412, the YZ-axis moving assembly 30 further includes two Z-axis sliders 34 disposed on the Y-axis sliding base plate 31 for Z-direction movement, a Z-direction balancing cylinder 36 disposed on the Y-axis sliding base plate 31 for balancing, a Z-axis driving assembly 38 disposed on the Y-axis sliding base plate 31 for driving, a Z-axis proximity switch 310 disposed on the Y-axis sliding base plate 31 for sensing, a Z-direction sliding cover 321, a Z-direction sliding base 322, a Z-axis rack 323, a Z-direction balancing cylinder connecting seat 324 disposed on the Z-direction sliding cover 321 for connecting the Z-direction balancing cylinder 36, two X-axis sliders 326, and two [unclear text - possibly related to fixing the two X-axis sliders 326] disposed on the lower side of the Z-direction sliding base 322.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, Figure 9 and Figure 10 Each Z-axis slider 34 is divided into two segments, one above the other, but this cannot be used to limit this application. For example, it can be divided into three or four segments.

When the gear of the X-axis drive assembly 71 drives the X-axis rack 24, the X-axis sliding rail 26 slides in the X-axis sliding block 326, driving the X-axis moving assembly 20 to move in the X-direction and smoothly, and simultaneously driving the arm assembly 10 to move smoothly in the X-direction; Figure 12 In this embodiment, each X-axis sliding block 326 is divided into three parts in the horizontal direction, but this cannot be used to limit the application; Figure 13 The X-axis inductive sheet 29 is arranged on the X-axis sliding rail base 21, and the X-axis proximity switch 331 is arranged on the Z-direction sliding base 322. The X-axis proximity switch 331 is used to sense the X-axis inductive sheet 29, and sends information to the controller when it senses the X-axis inductive sheet 29, informing the controller that the X-axis moving assembly 20 has moved to the position. Due to the viewing angle problem, Figure 13 For Figure 1 The partial enlarged view is shown in FIG. 6, Figure 13 As can be seen from FIG. 6, the relative positions of the X-axis proximity switch 331 and the X-axis inductive sheet 29.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the structures of the X-axis drive combination 71, the Y-axis drive combination 37 and the Z-axis drive combination 38 are the same, all including a drive motor and a gear, such as Figure 12 As shown, the X-axis drive combination 71 is covered in the Z-direction sliding cover 321, and only the gear is visible; the X-axis drive combination 71 drives the arm combination 10 to move in the X direction, the Y-axis drive combination 37 drives the arm combination 10 to move in the Y direction, and the Z-axis drive combination 38 drives the arm combination 10 to move in the Z direction. Since they are all sliders combined with sliding rails, the arm combination 10 moves smoothly.
