Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material transfer and conveying technology, and in particular to a material transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component of the production line, the performance of material transfer devices directly affects production efficiency, product quality, and the degree of automation of the production line.

[0003] There are two main types of existing material transfer devices: robotic arm-type devices and rotary material transfer devices. While robotic arm-type devices offer high flexibility, their motion trajectory planning is complex and unsuitable for production lines with high production cycles. Rotary material transfer devices are larger in size and occupy more space. Furthermore, their material transfer efficiency remains relatively low.

[0004] The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: when using existing material transfer devices for material transfer, the transfer efficiency is still relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to reduce the space occupied by the material transfer device and improve the material transfer efficiency, this application provides a material transfer device.

[0006] This application provides a material transfer device, which adopts the following technical solution: A material transfer device, comprising: First support; A rotary actuator, mounted on the first bracket; The second bracket is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary driver, and the rotary driver drives the second bracket to rotate. The rotating base is mounted on the second bracket and can be moved up and down, rotating with the second bracket; A linear actuator, mounted on the first bracket, has its output shaft connected to the rotary seat, used to drive the rotary seat to move up and down. Multiple adsorption mechanisms are evenly installed on the rotating base along the circumference of the rotating base. Each adsorption mechanism can adsorb onto the surface of the material to be transferred or release the material to be transferred.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, firstly, the linear actuator drives the rotating seat downwards along the second support, thereby moving each adsorption mechanism downwards. Then, one adsorption mechanism adsorbs onto the surface of a material to be transferred. Next, the linear actuator drives the rotating seat upwards along the second support, moving each adsorption mechanism and the material to be transferred upwards. Then, the rotary actuator drives the second support to rotate by a certain angle, thereby rotating the rotating seat by a certain angle and changing the position of the material to be transferred. Then, the linear actuator drives the rotating seat downwards along the second support, moving each adsorption mechanism downwards. Finally, the adsorption mechanism releases the material to be transferred. It should be noted that when one adsorption mechanism releases the material to be transferred, another adsorption mechanism adsorbs onto the surface of another material to be transferred. Multiple adsorption mechanisms cooperate with each other, allowing for the adsorption or release of multiple materials at a time, greatly improving material transfer efficiency and making it suitable for mass production lines. The overall structure is relatively compact, occupies relatively little space, and is easy to assemble and maintain.

[0008] This application further specifies that each adsorption mechanism includes: One end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the edge of the top of the rotating base; There are multiple suction nozzles, all of which are installed on the end of the support rod away from the rotating base.

[0009] This application further includes: A floating connector is used to connect the output shaft of a linear drive to the bottom of a rotary base.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the floating joint plays a buffering role when the suction nozzle comes into contact with the material to be transferred, thus extending the service life of the adsorption mechanism.

[0011] This application further includes: The third bracket is rotatably connected to the top of the second bracket; The vacuum generator is mounted on the third support and is connected to each adsorption mechanism.

[0012] This application further includes: The first conveying mechanism is located below one side of the rotating seat, with a loading station located at the end closest to the rotating seat; The second conveying mechanism is located below the other side of the rotating seat, with a material unloading station at one end near the rotating seat. The second conveying mechanism is equipped with a conveyor belt and multiple support seats. The multiple support seats are evenly fixed to the outer wall of the conveyor belt along the circumference of the conveyor belt. Each support seat has a support groove for supporting the material to be transferred.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the material to be transferred arrives at the loading station, the adsorption mechanism moves down and adsorbs onto the surface of the material. After the material to be transferred moves with the adsorption mechanism to directly above the unloading station, the material to be transferred moves down with the adsorption mechanism to the unloading station.

[0014] This application further specifies that each adsorption mechanism includes: The support rod is slidably mounted on the top of the rotating base along the radial direction of the rotating base; There are multiple suction nozzles, all of which are installed on the end of the support rod away from the rotating base; The radial position adjustment assembly is mounted on the rotating base and connected to the end of the support rod near the rotating base. It is used to drive the support rod to move radially along the rotating base, thereby moving multiple suction nozzles.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the radial position adjustment component can adjust the radial position of multiple suction nozzles on the rotating seat in a timely manner according to the position of the material to be transferred, which helps to ensure the adsorption effect and adsorption efficiency, thereby ensuring the stability and efficiency of material transfer.

[0016] This application further specifies that the radial position adjustment component includes: The rack is fixed to one side wall of the support rod near the rotating seat. The drive motor is fixed to the bottom of the rotating base; The gear is sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor, and its side wall meshes with the rack. The drive motor is used to rotate the gears, which in turn moves the rack and support rod.

[0017] This application further specifies that each adsorption mechanism also includes: The transmission seat is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the support rod at the end away from the rotating seat; The position correction component is mounted on the support rod and connected to the transmission seat. It is used to adjust the angle between the transmission seat and the support rod along their length. The tilt angle adjustment components are multiple, all vertically arranged, with their bottom ends fixedly connected to the corresponding suction nozzles, and their top ends fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission base, used to adjust the tilt angle of the axis of the corresponding suction nozzle.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, based on the inclination of the material to be transferred, the position correction component drives the transmission seat to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by a certain angle, so that the length direction of the transmission seat and the length direction of the support rod also have a certain angle. After the material to be transferred rises with the adsorption mechanism, the position correction component drives the transmission seat to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise by a certain angle, so that the length directions of the transmission seat, the material to be transferred, and the support rod are aligned, thereby achieving the purpose of position correction. When the material to be transferred is in the shape of a cylinder, hexagonal prism, sphere, square pyramid, etc., before multiple suction nozzles generate suction to adsorb onto the surface of the material to be transferred, multiple tilt angle adjustment components drive the corresponding suction nozzles to move, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the axis of the corresponding suction nozzles. This makes it suitable for transferring materials of different shapes, improving the versatility of the adsorption mechanism, ensuring the adsorption effect, and thus ensuring the stability and efficiency of material transfer.

[0019] This application further specifies that the position correction component includes: The outer guide tube is an arc-shaped hollow structure, fixed on the support rod, with an air inlet formed at one end; The inner lead tube is an arc-shaped hollow structure, with one end inserted into the outer lead tube and the other end fixedly connected to the transmission seat.

[0020] This application further specifies that each tilt angle adjustment component includes: The fixed base is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission base; The top end of the first swing seat is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the fixed seat; The top end of the second swing seat is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the first swing seat, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the nozzle. The connecting seat is fixed to one side of the first swing seat; The first bellows is vertically installed, with its top end fixedly connected to the top end of the fixed base and its bottom end fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting base; an air inlet is formed at the top end of the first bellows. The second corrugated pipe is vertically arranged, with its top end fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting seat and its bottom end fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second swing seat. Its interior is connected to the interior of the first corrugated pipe through the connecting seat.

[0021] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this application are as follows: 1. When one adsorption mechanism releases the material to be transferred, another adsorption mechanism adsorbs onto the surface of another material to be transferred. Multiple adsorption mechanisms work together to adsorb or release multiple materials at a time, greatly improving material transfer efficiency and making it suitable for high-volume production lines. The overall structure is compact, occupies relatively little space, and is easy to assemble and maintain.

[0022] 2. Based on the position of the material to be transferred, the radial position adjustment component can adjust the radial position of multiple suction nozzles on the rotating seat in a timely manner, which helps to ensure the adsorption effect and adsorption efficiency, thereby ensuring the stability and efficiency of material transfer.

[0023] 3. Depending on the inclination of the material to be transferred, the position correction component drives the transmission seat to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by a certain angle, so that the length direction of the transmission seat and the length direction of the support rod also have a certain angle. After the material to be transferred rises with the adsorption mechanism, the position correction component drives the transmission seat to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise by a certain angle, so that the length directions of the transmission seat, the material to be transferred, and the support rod are aligned, thereby achieving the purpose of position correction.

[0024] 4. When the material to be transferred is in the shape of a cylinder, hexagonal prism, sphere, or square pyramid, multiple suction nozzles generate suction to adhere to the surface of the material before it is transferred. Multiple tilt angle adjustment components drive the corresponding suction nozzles to move, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the corresponding suction nozzle axis. This makes it suitable for transferring materials of different shapes, improving the versatility of the adsorption mechanism, ensuring the adsorption effect, and thus ensuring the stability and efficiency of material transfer.

Material to be transferred. Detailed Implementation

[0027] It should be noted that the material to be transferred is in a geometric shape, such as a cube, cuboid, cylinder, hexagonal prism, sphere, or square pyramid.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] Reference Figure 1This application discloses a material transfer device, including a first support 110, a rotary driver 120, a second support 130, a rotating seat 140, a linear driver 150, and multiple adsorption mechanisms 160. The first support 110 supports the rotary driver 120, the second support 130, the rotating seat 140, the linear driver 150, and the multiple adsorption mechanisms 160. The rotary driver 120 is mounted on top of the first support 110. The second support 130 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary driver 120, and the rotary driver 120 drives the second support 130 to rotate. The rotating seat 140 is movably mounted on the second support 130 and rotates with the second support 130. The linear driver 150 is mounted on top of the first support 110, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating seat 140, for driving the rotating seat 140 to move up and down. Multiple adsorption mechanisms 160 are evenly mounted on the rotating base 140 along its circumference. Each adsorption mechanism 160 can adsorb onto the surface of the material to be transferred 200 or release the material to be transferred 200. The working process and principle of the material transfer device are as follows: First, the linear actuator 150 drives the rotating base 140 to move downward along the second support 130, thereby moving each adsorption mechanism 160 downward. Then, one of the adsorption mechanisms 160 adsorbs onto the surface of a material to be transferred 200. Next, the linear actuator 150 drives the rotating base 140 to move upward along the second support 130, thereby moving each adsorption mechanism 160 and the material to be transferred 200 upward. Then, the rotary actuator 120 drives the second support 130 to rotate by a certain angle, thereby rotating the rotating base 140 by a certain angle, thus changing the position of the material to be transferred 200. Then, the linear actuator 150 drives the rotating base 140 to move downward along the second support 130, thereby moving each adsorption mechanism 160 downward. Next, the adsorption mechanism 160 releases the material to be transferred 200. It should be noted that while one adsorption mechanism 160 releases the material to be transferred 200, another adsorption mechanism 160 adsorbs onto the surface of another material to be transferred 200. Multiple adsorption mechanisms 160 cooperate with each other, allowing for the adsorption or release of multiple materials to be transferred 200 at a time, greatly improving material transfer efficiency and making it suitable for mass production lines. The overall structure is relatively compact, occupies relatively little space, and is easy to assemble and maintain.

[0030] Preferably, the rotary drive 120 is a hollow rotary platform. The hollow channel located at the center of the hollow rotary platform can be used as a wiring channel, facilitating the arrangement of power lines, signal lines, and air pipes, effectively solving the problem of easy tangling of pipes. It also simplifies the layout of pipes and reduces maintenance difficulty and costs. The hollow rotary platform is equipped with a servo motor and a gearbox. The servo motor can precisely control the rotation speed and rotation angle, ensuring material transfer accuracy. The gearbox can reduce the rotation speed and increase the torque, ensuring stable rotation of the hollow rotary platform under load. Due to the high rotational accuracy and operational stability of the hollow rotary platform, it can meet the requirements of high-precision production lines. The hollow rotary platform is equipped with rolling bearings, which reduces rotational resistance and ensures smooth operation.

[0031] Preferably, the second support 130 includes three guide rods and a top plate. The three guide rods are all vertically arranged and evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotary driver 120. The bottom end of each guide rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary driver 120. The top plate is fixed to the top ends of the three guide rods. The rotary seat 140 is mounted on the three guide rods via three linear bearings. The three linear bearings cooperate with the three guide rods, improving the smoothness of the vertical movement of the rotary seat 140, thereby contributing to the stability of material transfer.

[0032] Preferably, the linear actuator 150 can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, which can precisely control the action by accurately controlling the input and output of the working medium. The linear actuator 150 can also be an electric actuator, which does not require a working medium and ensures the cleanliness of the working environment.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, each adsorption mechanism 160 includes a support rod 161 and a plurality of suction nozzles 162. One end of the support rod 161 is fixedly connected to the edge of the top end of the rotating seat 140. The plurality of suction nozzles 162 are all mounted on the end of the support rod 161 away from the rotating seat 140. Each suction nozzle 162 is capable of adsorbing onto the surface of the material to be transferred 200 or releasing the material to be transferred 200.

[0034] Preferably, the end of the support rod 161 near the rotating seat 140 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 140 by bolts, so as to facilitate the disassembly, replacement and installation of the adsorption mechanism 160.

[0036] Reference Figure 1In one embodiment, the material transfer device further includes a floating connector 193, a third support 170, and a vacuum generator 180. The floating connector 193 connects the output shaft of the linear actuator 150 to the bottom end of the rotary seat 140. When the suction nozzle 162 contacts the material 200 to be transferred, the floating connector 193 acts as a buffer, extending the service life of the adsorption mechanism 160. The top of the third support 170 is rotatably connected to the top of the top plate of the second support 130 via bearings. The third support 170 provides auxiliary support. The vacuum generator 180 is mounted on the third support 170 and communicates with multiple suction nozzles 162 of each adsorption mechanism 160, generating negative pressure to cause each suction nozzle 162 to generate suction.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In another embodiment, the material transfer device further includes a first conveying mechanism 191 and a second conveying mechanism 192. The first conveying mechanism 191 is located below one side of the rotary seat 140, with a loading station 1911 located near the end of the rotary seat 140. The second conveying mechanism 192 is located below the other side of the rotary seat 140, with a unloading station 19211 located near the end of the rotary seat 140. The second conveying mechanism 192 includes a conveyor belt 1921 and multiple support seats 1922. The multiple support seats 1922 are uniformly fixed to the outer wall of the conveyor belt 1921 along its circumference. Each support seat 1922 has a support groove 19221 for supporting the material 200 to be transferred. The support groove 19221 serves a positioning function, ensuring the accuracy of material transfer. Figure 4 The direction of the arrow indicates the transfer direction of the material to be transferred 200. When the material to be transferred 200 reaches the loading station 1911, the adsorption mechanism 160 moves down and adsorbs onto the surface of the material to be transferred 200. After the material to be transferred 200 moves with the adsorption mechanism 160 to directly above the unloading station 19211, the material to be transferred 200 moves down with the adsorption mechanism 160 to the unloading station 19211.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In another embodiment, each adsorption mechanism 160 includes a support rod 161, a plurality of suction nozzles 162, a radial position adjustment assembly 163, a transmission seat 164, a position correction assembly 165, and a plurality of tilt angle adjustment assemblies 166. A plurality of guide grooves are formed at the top of the rotating seat 140. Each guide groove corresponds one-to-one with one of the adsorption mechanisms 160. Both ends of each guide groove extend radially along the rotating seat 140. The support rod 161 is slidably mounted within the guide groove at the top of the rotating seat 140. The plurality of suction nozzles 162 are all mounted at the end of the support rod 161 away from the rotating seat 140. The radial position adjustment assembly 163 is mounted on the rotating seat 140 and connected to the end of the support rod 161 near the rotating seat 140, for driving the support rod 161 to move radially along the rotating seat 140, thereby moving the plurality of suction nozzles 162. The transmission seat 164 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the end of the support rod 161 away from the rotating seat 140 via a pivot. A position correction component 165 is mounted on a support rod 161. The position correction component 165 is connected to a transmission seat 164 and is used to adjust the angle between the transmission seat 164 and the support rod 161 along their length. Multiple tilt angle adjustment components 166 are vertically arranged, with their bottom ends fixedly connected to multiple suction nozzles 162 one-to-one, and their top ends fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission seat 164, used to adjust the tilt angle of the corresponding suction nozzle 162's axis. Each suction nozzle 162 can adsorb onto the surface of the material to be transferred 200 or release the material to be transferred 200. Based on the position of the material to be transferred 200, the radial position adjustment component 163 can promptly adjust the radial position of the multiple suction nozzles 162 on the rotating seat 140, which helps ensure the adsorption effect and efficiency, thereby ensuring the stability and efficiency of material transfer. When the material to be transferred 200 is tilted, the length direction of the material to be transferred 200 has a certain angle with the length direction of the support rod 161. Depending on the inclination of the material to be transferred 200, the position correction component 165 drives the transmission seat 164 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by a certain angle, so that the length direction of the transmission seat 164 and the length direction of the support rod 161 also have a certain angle. After the material to be transferred 200 rises with the adsorption mechanism 160, the position correction component 165 drives the transmission seat 164 to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise by a certain angle, so that the length directions of the transmission seat 164, the material to be transferred 200, and the support rod 161 are aligned, thereby achieving the purpose of position correction. When the material to be transferred 200 is in the shape of a cylinder, hexagonal prism, sphere, or square pyramid, multiple suction nozzles 162 generate suction force to adhere to the surface of the material to be transferred 200. Multiple tilt angle adjustment components 166 drive the corresponding suction nozzles 162 to move, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the axis of the corresponding suction nozzles 162. This makes it suitable for transferring materials of different shapes, improving the versatility of the adsorption mechanism 160, ensuring the adsorption effect, and thus ensuring the stability and efficiency of material transfer.

[0039] Preferably, there are four suction nozzles 162, and correspondingly, there are four tilt angle adjustment components 166.

[0040] In one embodiment, the radial position adjustment assembly 163 includes a rack 1631, a drive motor 1632, and a gear 1633. The rack 1631 is fixed to one side wall of the support rod 161 near the rotating seat 140, while the other side wall of the support rod 161 near the rotating seat 140 is slidably connected to a guide groove via a slide rail. The drive motor 1632 is fixed to the bottom end of the rotating seat 140. The gear 1633 is sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 1632, and its side wall meshes with the rack 1631. The drive motor 1632 drives the gear 1633 to rotate, thereby moving the rack 1631 and the support rod 161, and consequently moving multiple suction nozzles 162 along the rotating seat 140 to adjust the radial position of the multiple suction nozzles 162 on the rotating seat 140.

[0041] In one embodiment, the position correction assembly 165 includes an outer guide tube 1651 and an inner guide tube 1652. The outer guide tube 1651 has an arc-shaped hollow structure, with one end fixed to the top of the support rod 161. An air inlet 16511 is formed at the end of the outer guide tube 1651 fixed to the support rod 161. The inner guide tube 1652 has an arc-shaped hollow structure, with one end inserted into the outer guide tube 1651 and communicating with the interior of the outer guide tube 1651, and the other end fixedly connected to the side of the transmission seat 164 away from the support rod 161. The air inlet 16511 can input compressed gas into the outer guide tube 1651 and the inner guide tube 1652 or output compressed gas from the outer guide tube 1651 and the inner guide tube 1652, so as to precisely control the movement amplitude of the inner guide tube 1652, thereby precisely controlling the rotation angle of the transmission seat 164, and thus precisely adjusting the angle between the transmission seat 164 and the support rod 161 along its length.

[0042] In one embodiment, each tilt angle adjustment assembly 166 includes a fixed base 1661, a first swing base 1662, a second swing base 1663, a connecting base 1664, a first bellows 1665, and a second bellows 1666. The fixed base 1661 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission base 164. The top end of the first swing base 1662 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the fixed base 1661. The top end of the second swing base 1663 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the first swing base 1662, and its bottom end is fixedly connected to the suction nozzle 162. The connecting base 1664 is fixed to one side of the first swing base 1662. The first bellows 1665 is vertically arranged, with its top end fixedly connected to the top end of the fixed base 1661 and its bottom end fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting base 1664. An air inlet 16651 is formed at the top end of the first bellows 1665. The second bellows 1666 is vertically arranged, with its top end fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting seat 1664 and its bottom end fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second swing seat 1663. Its interior communicates with the interior of the first bellows 1665 through the connecting seat 1664. Compressed gas is input into the first bellows 1665 and the second bellows 1666 through the air inlet 16651, causing the bottom of the tilt angle adjustment component 166 to bend towards the side where the first swing seat 1662 and the second swing seat 1663 are located, thereby precisely adjusting the tilt angle of the nozzle 162's axis. It should be noted that by adjusting the positions of the first bellows 1665 and the second bellows 1666, the bending direction of the bottom of the tilt angle adjustment component 166 can be adjusted.

[0043] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, the linear actuator 150 drives the rotating seat 140 to move downward along the second support 130, thereby moving each adsorption mechanism 160 downward. Then, one of the adsorption mechanisms 160 adsorbs onto the surface of a material 200 to be transferred. Next, the linear actuator 150 drives the rotating seat 140 to move upward along the second support 130, thereby moving each adsorption mechanism 160 and the material 200 to be transferred upward. Then, the rotary actuator 120 drives the second support 130 to rotate by a certain angle, thereby rotating the rotating seat 140 by a certain angle, thus changing the position of the material 200 to be transferred. Then, the linear actuator 150 drives the rotating seat 140 to move downward along the second support 130, thereby moving each adsorption mechanism 160 downward. Next, the adsorption mechanism 160 releases the material 200 to be transferred. It should be noted that when one adsorption mechanism 160 releases the material 200 to be transferred, the other adsorption mechanism 160 adsorbs onto the surface of another material 200 to be transferred. Multiple adsorption mechanisms 160 work together to adsorb or release multiple materials 200 to be transferred at a time, greatly improving material transfer efficiency and making it suitable for mass production lines. The overall structure is compact, occupies relatively little space, and is easy to assemble and maintain. Based on the position of the materials 200 to be transferred, the radial position adjustment component 163 can promptly adjust the radial position of multiple suction nozzles 162 on the rotating seat 140, which helps ensure adsorption effect and efficiency, thereby ensuring the stability and efficiency of material transfer. Based on the inclination of the materials 200 to be transferred, the position correction component 165 drives the transmission seat 164 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by a certain angle, so that the length direction of the transmission seat 164 also has a certain angle with the length direction of the support rod 161. After the materials 200 to be transferred rise with the adsorption mechanism 160, the position correction component 165 drives the transmission seat 164 to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise by a certain angle, so that the length directions of the transmission seat 164, the materials 200 to be transferred, and the support rod 161 are aligned, thus achieving the purpose of position correction. When the material to be transferred 200 is in the shape of a cylinder, hexagonal prism, sphere, or square pyramid, multiple suction nozzles 162 generate suction force to adhere to the surface of the material to be transferred 200. Multiple tilt angle adjustment components 166 drive the corresponding suction nozzles 162 to move, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the axis of the corresponding suction nozzles 162. This makes it suitable for transferring materials of different shapes, improving the versatility of the adsorption mechanism 160, ensuring the adsorption effect, and thus ensuring the stability and efficiency of material transfer.
