Detailed Implementation

[0040] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0041] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 This invention describes a packaging device 1000 for thin-shell parts according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the thin-shell parts packaging device 1000 of this embodiment includes a rotating shell flipper 1, a mounting plate 2, a rotator 3, a storage plate 4, a picker 5, and a rotation suction cup 6.

[0043] The rotating shell-flipping device 1 is vertically and flexibly positioned above the conveyor belt 7, which is mounted on the frame 8. It is used to flip thin-shell parts 2000 on the conveyor belt 7. Specifically, as the conveyor belt 7 operates, the thin-shell parts 2000 are conveyed towards the rotating shell-flipping device 1. When the thin-shell parts 2000 reach the first position, the rotating shell-flipping device 1 descends to its lower limit position, clamps the thin-shell parts 2000, then rises to its upper limit position and rotates 180 degrees. It then descends again to its lower limit position, releasing the flipped thin-shell parts 2000 onto the conveyor belt 7, allowing them to continue moving towards the rotary suction cup 6 along the conveyor belt 7. Thus, by using the rotating shell-flipping device 1, automatic flipping of thin-shell parts 2000 can be achieved, reducing manual intervention and increasing work efficiency.

[0044] Mounting plate 2 is positioned above conveyor belt 7 and downstream of rotating shell flipper 1 (determined according to the conveying direction of conveyor belt 7), and is fixedly mounted. Mounting plate 2 has circumferentially spaced loading positions 201, mounting positions 202, and notch positions 203, with mounting positions 202 and notch positions 203 located upstream and downstream of mounting plate 2, respectively. Loading position 201 is the station where the plastic tray 3000 is initially placed on mounting plate 2, mounting position 202 is the station where the flipped thin-shell parts 2000 and plastic trays 3000 are installed on mounting plate 2, and notch positions 203 allow the installed thin-shell parts 2000 and plastic trays 3000 to automatically fall from mounting plate 2 onto conveyor belt 7.

[0045] The rotator 3 is rotatably mounted on the upper side of the mounting plate 2 around the center of the mounting plate 2. Specifically, the rotator 3 drives the plastic tray 3000 on the mounting plate 2 to rotate. When the rotator 3 rotates the plastic tray 3000 at the loading position 201 to the mounting position 202, the rotary suction cup 6 places the flipped thin-shell part 2000 on the plastic tray 3000 at the mounting position 202. Thus, the flipped thin-shell part 2000 and the plastic tray 3000 are installed at the mounting position 202. The rotator 3 continues to rotate, pushing the installed thin-shell part 2000 and the plastic tray 3000 to the notch position 203, causing the thin-shell part 2000 and the plastic tray 3000 to fall from the notch position 203 onto the conveyor belt 7.

[0046] The storage tray 4 is used to store plastic trays 3000 to be used in batches. The storage tray 4 is arranged on one side of the mounting tray 2 and close to the loading position 201, so that the tray picker 5 can transfer the plastic trays 3000 on the storage tray 4 to the loading position 201. Specifically, the storage tray 4 is a rotatable circular tray (e.g., automatically rotating). The plastic trays 3000 are stacked vertically and stored sequentially along the circumference. When a stack of plastic trays 3000 is removed, it can be rotated, for example, automatically or manually.

[0047] The pallet loader 5 is used to transfer the plastic pallets 3000 stored on the storage tray 4 to the loading position 201. By setting the pallet loader 5, the plastic pallets 3000 on the storage tray 4 can be automatically transferred to the loading position 201, reducing manual intervention and increasing work efficiency.

[0048] The indexing suction cup 6 is vertically mounted above the conveyor belt 7 and located between the rotating shell flipper 1 and the mounting plate 2. The indexing suction cup 6 uses negative pressure to adsorb the flipped thin-shell parts 2000 and transfers the flipped thin-shell parts 2000 on the conveyor belt 7 to the mounting position 202 of the mounting plate 2, and accurately places them on the plastic tray 3000 of that station.

[0049] Specifically, when the flipped thin-shell part 2000 reaches the second position, the rotary suction cup descends to its lower limit position, using negative pressure to suck up the flipped thin-shell part 2000. It then rises to its upper limit position and rotates, moving the flipped thin-shell part 2000 directly above the mounting position 202. Finally, it descends to its lower limit position, releasing the flipped thin-shell part onto the plastic tray 3000 at the mounting position 202. Thus, by using the rotary suction cup, the automatic installation of the thin-shell part 2000 can be achieved, reducing manual intervention and increasing work efficiency.

[0050] During operation, the rotating shell flipper 1 flips the thin-shell parts 2000 on the conveyor belt 7, the picker 5 transfers the plastic tray 3000 on the storage tray 4 to the loading position 201, the rotary drive drives the plastic tray 3000 at the loading position 201 to the mounting position 202, the rotary suction cup 6 transfers the flipped thin-shell parts 2000 on the conveyor belt 7 to the plastic tray 3000 at the mounting position 202, and the rotary drive drives the plastic tray 3000 and the thin-shell parts 2000 at the mounting position 202 to the notch position 203, so that the plastic tray 3000 and the thin-shell parts 2000 automatically fall from the notch position 203 onto the conveyor belt 7.

[0051] The thin-shell parts packaging device 1000 of this invention has the following advantages: First, by setting up a rotating shell flipper 1, a mounting plate 2, a rotator 3, a storage plate 4, a tray lifter 5, a rotation suction cup 6, and a conveyor belt 7, the rotating shell flipper 1, the rotator 3, the tray lifter 5, and the rotation suction cup 6 coordinate their movements to achieve automatic flipping of the thin-shell parts 2000, automatic mold removal (i.e., automatic removal of the plastic tray 3000), and automatic installation of the thin-shell parts 2000 and the plastic tray 3000. This significantly reduces the need for manual intervention, realizes a fully automated process, eliminates unnecessary operations, reduces waiting time, and increases work efficiency. Experiments have shown that the time from automatic flipping and mold removal to installation completion can be controlled within 3 seconds.

[0052] In some embodiments, the rotating shell flipper 1 is connected to the frame 8 via a first lifting mechanism 101, and the first lifting mechanism 101 drives the rotating shell flipper 1 to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0053] The rotating shell flipper 1 includes a first rotary drive 102 and a clamping unit 103. The first rotary drive 102 is mounted on the first lifting mechanism 101. The horizontal shaft of the first rotary drive 102 (not shown in the figure due to obstruction) is connected to the clamping unit 103 to drive the clamping unit 103 to rotate 180 degrees around the horizontal shaft. The clamping unit 103 is used to clamp and release thin-shell parts 2000, providing a secure grip and preventing them from falling off.

[0054] When the machine starts working, the rotating shell flipper 1 is at its upper limit position. The thin-shell part 2000 moves to below the rotating shell flipper 1 via the conveyor belt 7. The first lifting mechanism 101 drives the rotating shell flipper 1 to descend, and the rotating shell flipper 1 moves to the lower limit position, where it can make precise contact with the thin-shell part 2000. The clamping unit 103 clamps the thin-shell part 2000. The first lifting mechanism 101 drives the rotating shell flipper 1 to rise to the upper limit position. The first rotary drive 102 drives the clamping unit 103 to rotate 180° around the horizontal rotating shaft, so that the thin-shell part 2000 is flipped. The first lifting mechanism 101 drives the rotating shell flipper 1 to descend to the lower limit position. The clamping unit 103 releases the thin-shell part 2000, so that the flipped thin-shell part 2000 moves downstream via the conveyor belt 7. The first lifting mechanism 101 drives the rotating shaft flipper 1 to rise to the upper limit position, and the first rotating drive component 102 drives the clamping unit 103 to rotate 180° around the horizontal rotating shaft and reset, waiting for the next part to be cycled.

[0055] In some embodiments, the horizontal rotating shaft is aligned with the extending direction of the conveyor belt 7. This makes it easier to install the rotating shaft flipper 1, while the clamping unit 103 clamps the thin-shell parts 2000 more accurately and securely.

[0056] In some embodiments, the clamping unit 103 includes a clamping drive 1031 and two opposing clamping arm plates 1032. The clamping drive 1031 is fixed to a horizontal rotating shaft and connected to the two clamping arm plates 1032 to drive the two clamping arm plates 1032 to move away from and towards each other. The two opposing clamping arm plates 1032 are arranged opposite each other, and the clamping drive 1031 drives them to move away / near each other to release / clamp the thin-shell part 2000, ensuring uniform clamping force and preventing the thin-shell part 2000 from tilting or slipping.

[0057] In some embodiments, the clamping arm plate 1032 is L-shaped. The corners of the L-shape can avoid interference from surrounding components (such as the drive member 1031). For example, when clamping a long, thin-shell part 2000, the L-shaped clamping arm plate 1032 can avoid interference with the drive member 1031, making the clamping operation more convenient.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first lifting mechanism 101 includes a first vertical guide rail 1011, a first crossbeam 1012, and a first lifting drive member 1013. The first vertical guide rail 1011 is fixed to the frame 8, the first crossbeam 1012 is disposed on the first vertical guide rail 1011, the rotating shaft flipper 1 is disposed on the first crossbeam 1012, and the first lifting drive member 1013 is used to drive the first crossbeam 1012 to move up and down along the first vertical guide rail 1011. The first vertical guide rail 1011 is used to constrain the first crossbeam 1012, so that it can only slide in the vertical direction, preventing deviation and swaying.

[0059] In some embodiments, the indexing suction cup 6 is connected to the frame 8 via a second lifting mechanism 601, which drives the indexing suction cup 6 to move up and down. The indexing suction cup 6 includes a second rotary drive 602 and a cantilever suction and release unit 603. The second rotary drive 602 is mounted on the second lifting mechanism 601, and its vertical shaft 6021 is connected to the cantilever suction and release unit 603 to drive the cantilever suction and release unit 603 to rotate around the vertical shaft 6021. The cantilever suction and release unit 603 is used to pick up and release the flipped thin-shell parts 2000.

[0060] During operation, the thin-shell part 2000 moves to below the indexing suction cup 6. The second lifting mechanism 601 drives the cantilever suction unit 603 of the indexing suction cup 6 to descend to the lower limit position, so that the cantilever suction unit 603 contacts and adsorbs the flipped thin-shell part 2000. The second lifting mechanism 601 drives the indexing suction cup 6 and the flipped thin-shell part 2000 to rise. The second rotary drive 602 drives the cantilever suction unit 603 and the thin-shell part 2000 to rotate around the vertical axis 6021 to above the mounting position 202 of the mounting plate 2. The second rotary drive 602 stops moving, and the second lifting mechanism 601 drives the indexing suction cup 6 to descend, placing the thin-shell part 2000 adsorbed by the cantilever suction unit 603 onto the plastic tray 3000 at the mounting position 202, completing the installation.

[0061] In some embodiments, there are multiple cantilever suction and discharge units 603, which are arranged at intervals around the outer periphery of the vertical rotating shaft 6021. Each cantilever suction and discharge unit 603 includes a cantilever 6031, a first support block 6032, a first air tube 6033, and a first suction and discharge section 6034. One end of the cantilever 6031 is connected to the vertical rotating shaft 6021, and the other end of the cantilever 6031 is fixed to the first support block 6032. One end of the first air tube 6033 is connected to a negative pressure system, and the other end of the first air tube 6033 is fixed to the first support block 6032 and communicates with the first suction and discharge section 6034 located below the first support block 6032.

[0062] Multiple cantilever suction and release units 603 enable simultaneous processing of multiple parts, improving the automated packaging efficiency of the thin-shell parts packaging device 1000. The cantilever 6031 drives and supports the first support block 6032, the first air pipe 6033, and the first suction and release section 6034. The first support block 6032 provides the mounting position for the first air pipe 6033 and the first suction and release section 6034. The first air pipe 6033 provides the suction power for the first suction and release section 6034, enabling the gripping and release of thin-shell parts 2000.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first suction and discharge portion 6034 is a buffer suction and discharge portion. In this way, when suctioning the thin-shell part 2000, the impact force at contact is reduced by buffering, thus avoiding damage to the thin-shell part 2000.

[0064] In some embodiments, each cantilever suction and release unit 603 has two first air tubes 6033 and two first suction and release parts 6034, which are connected in a one-to-one correspondence. In this way, the suction force of the cantilever suction and release unit 603 is more balanced and the suction is more stable, avoiding the tilting or deformation of the thin-shell parts 2000 that are being suctioned.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second lifting mechanism 601 includes a second vertical guide rail 6011, a second crossbeam 6012, and a second lifting drive member 6013. The second vertical guide rail 6011 is fixed to the frame 8, the second crossbeam 6012 is disposed on the second vertical guide rail 6011, the rotary suction cup 6 is disposed on the second crossbeam 6012, and the second lifting drive member 6013 is used to drive the second crossbeam 6012 to move up and down along the second vertical guide rail 6011. The second lifting drive member 6013 drives the second crossbeam 6012 to move up and down along the second vertical guide rail 6011, and its movement speed and position are controllable, with high positioning accuracy. The second crossbeam 6012 carries the cantilever suction and release unit 603 and the second rotary drive member 602, driving the cantilever suction and release unit 603 to move vertically up and down. The second vertical guide rail 6011 constrains the movement trajectory of the second crossbeam 6012 to a straight line in a fixed direction, making the movement more stable and more accurate.

[0066] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 2 is fixed to the frame 8, which provides a more secure fixation.

[0067] In some embodiments, the rotator 3 includes a third rotation drive (not shown) and a rotation frame 301. The third rotation drive is positioned at the center of the mounting plate 2, and the rotation frame 301 is arranged radially along the mounting plate 2. One end of the rotation frame 301 is connected to the third rotation drive, and the other end extends to the edge of the mounting plate 2. The third rotation drive provides rotational power to the rotation frame 301. When the rotation frame 301 rotates, it can cover the loading position 201, mounting position 202, and notch position 203 areas of the mounting plate 2.

[0068] During operation, the pick-up device 5 places the plastic tray 3000 on the loading position 201 of the mounting plate 2. The third rotary drive drives the rotating frame 301 to rotate around the center of the mounting plate 2, pushing the plastic tray 3000 at the loading position 201 to the mounting position 202. At the same time, the rotary suction cup 6 picks up the thin-shell part 2000 and places it on the plastic tray 3000, completing the installation. The third rotary drive drives the rotating frame 301 to continue rotating, pushing the installed thin-shell part 2000 and the plastic tray 3000 to the notch position 203, so that the thin-shell part 2000 and the plastic tray 3000 fall from the notch position 203 onto the conveyor belt 7.

[0069] In some embodiments, there are multiple rotating frames 301, which are arranged at intervals around the outer periphery of the third rotating drive member. The arrangement of multiple rotating frames 301 at equal angular intervals around the outer periphery of the third rotating drive member can improve the packaging efficiency of the thin-shell parts packaging device 1000. For example, there can be four rotating frames 301, with three of them located simultaneously in the loading position 201, mounting position 202, and notch position 203 areas of the mounting tray 2, respectively, reducing equipment idle time and improving the packaging efficiency of the thin-shell parts packaging device 1000.

[0070] In some embodiments, the rotating frame 301 has a U-shaped frame 3011, the opening of which faces the outer edge of the mounting plate 2. The U-shaped frame 3011 can effectively limit the movement of the plastic tray 3000 when it is pushed, ensuring accurate movement trajectory; when the plastic tray 3000 moves to the notch position 203, the packaged thin-shell parts 2000 and the plastic tray 3000 can be driven by the conveyor belt 7 and smoothly leave along the opening direction of the U-shaped frame 3011.

[0071] In some embodiments, the pick-and-place device 5 includes a column 501, a radial beam guide rail 502, a telescopic rod 503, and a pick-and-place unit 504.
