Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated production equipment technology, and specifically to a parts positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production lines, the accurate transport and positioning of parts are prerequisites for subsequent assembly, processing, and inspection. Currently, the common practice is to transport parts to designated workstations using conveyor belts or other conveyor devices. However, with existing technology, parts may experience positional shifts or angular deflections when transported on conveyor belts due to initial placement deviations, conveyor belt vibrations, or uneven friction. This results in inconsistent postures upon reaching the target position, making it impossible for parts to be automatically grasped or manipulated. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0020] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0021] In automated production lines, the accurate transport and positioning of parts are prerequisites for subsequent assembly, processing, and inspection. Currently, the common practice is to transport parts to designated workstations using conveyor belts or other conveyor devices. However, with existing technology, parts may experience positional shifts or angular deflections when transported on conveyor belts due to initial placement deviations, conveyor belt vibrations, or uneven friction. This results in inconsistent postures upon reaching the target position, making it impossible for parts to be automatically grasped or manipulated.

[0022] In view of this, the present invention proposes a part positioning device that continuously transports parts via a conveyor belt in the conveying assembly, providing the basic material flow conditions for automated positioning. A transmission correction mechanism is installed on the conveying assembly, and it has channels with gradually decreasing gaps along the transmission direction. During the conveying process, the part is automatically guided and centered, achieving preliminary correction and pre-positioning of the part's position. By placing the attitude adjustment mechanism near the end of the channel, and having its fixed, rotating, and lifting clamping components cooperate with each other, the lifting clamping component clamps the part and performs lifting and rotation operations, achieving precise adjustment and final positioning of the part's spatial attitude, facilitating subsequent automatic gripping or manipulation of the part. This invention, through a combination of gradual correction during transmission and final attitude adjustment, effectively improves the positioning accuracy and consistency of the part, has a compact structure, and is suitable for automated production lines.

[0023] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention proposes a part positioning device 100, including a conveying component 10, an attitude adjustment mechanism 20, and a transmission correction mechanism 30; the conveying component 10 includes a conveyor belt 11 for conveying part 70; the transmission correction mechanism 30 is disposed on the conveying component 10, and the transmission correction mechanism 30 is provided with a channel 30a, the gap of the channel 30a gradually decreasing along the transmission direction; the attitude adjustment mechanism 20 is disposed near the end 30c of the channel 30a, and includes a fixing component 21, a rotating component 22, and a lifting clamping component 23, the fixing component 21 fixing the rotating component 22, the free end of the rotating component 22 being fixedly connected to the lifting clamping component 23, and the lifting clamping component 23 being used for clamping and lifting the part 70.

[0024] Understandably, the conveying assembly 10 is equipped with a conveying bracket 12, on which a conveyor belt 11 is mounted. The conveyor belt is driven by a motor, forming the conveying line for the part 70. Above the conveyor belt 11, a conveying correction mechanism 30 is provided. This mechanism can be fixed by an independent external bracket (not shown in the figure) or directly mounted on the conveying bracket 12. A channel 30a is formed on the conveying correction mechanism 30. The channel 30a is located above the conveyor belt 11, and its extension direction is the conveying direction. The inlet end of the channel 30a has a large gap to facilitate the introduction of the part 70. The channel 30a narrows uniformly along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11, so that the part 70 on the conveyor belt 11 can be gradually pushed and corrected by the guide plates 31 on both sides during the conveying process, until it is guided to the predetermined centerline position when it reaches the end of the guide plate 31, thereby realizing automatic preliminary position correction. When part 70 reaches the predetermined position, an attitude adjustment mechanism 20 is installed near the predetermined position, i.e., near the end 30c of channel 30a. Its fixing component 21 can be fixed via an external frame or directly connected to the conveyor support 12. One end of the rotating component 22 is fixedly connected to the fixing component 21, and the free end of the rotating component 22 can rotate. A lifting clamping component 23 is installed on the free end of the rotating component 22. The lifting clamping component 23 can clamp part 70 and perform lifting and lowering operations on it. The rotation of the rotating component 22 drives the rotation of the lifting clamping component 23, which in turn drives the rotation of part 70. The lifting and lowering of the lifting clamping component 23, in turn, drives the lifting and lowering of part 70, thus moving part 70 to a suitable posture for subsequent automatic grasping or operation by robotic arms or other equipment. Ultimately, through the synergistic effect of the "coarse positioning" of the transmission correction mechanism 30 during the conveying process and the "fine adjustment" of the attitude adjustment mechanism 20 at the end of the transmission correction mechanism 30, fully automatic operation with precise attitude output is achieved, which greatly improves positioning accuracy and production efficiency.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present invention, the rotating assembly 22 includes a rotating cylinder 221 and a flange 222. The rotating cylinder 221 is fixedly connected to the fixing assembly 21, and the flange 222 is fixedly connected to the free end of the rotating cylinder 221. The lifting clamping assembly 23 includes a lifting cylinder 231 and a clamping module 232. The lifting cylinder 231 is fixed to the flange 222, and the free end of the lifting cylinder 231 is fixedly connected to the clamping module 232.

[0026] Understandably, the rotating assembly 22 includes a rotating cylinder 221 and a flange 222. The rotating cylinder 221 is fixedly mounted on the fixed assembly 21, and its free end is capable of rotating around an axis at a preset angle. The flange 222 is fixedly mounted on the free end of the rotating cylinder 221. The rotation of the free end of the rotating cylinder 221 will drive the rotation of the flange 222, and the flange 222 also provides a base for the installation of the lifting clamping assembly 23. The lifting cylinder 231 of the lifting clamping assembly 23 is fixedly mounted on the flange 222, and the rotation of the flange 222 will drive the rotation of the lifting clamping assembly 23. The free end of the lifting cylinder 231 can extend and retract. The clamping module 232 is fixedly connected to the free end of the lifting cylinder 231, and extends and retracts with it, and is used to perform clamping and releasing actions on the part 70.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, the clamping module 232 includes a clamping cylinder 2321, a first gripper 2322, and a second gripper 2323. The clamping cylinder 2321 and the first gripper 2322 are fixedly connected to the free end of the lifting cylinder 231 via a mounting plate 233, and the second gripper 2323 is fixedly connected to the free end of the clamping cylinder 2321.

[0028] Understandably, the clamping module 232 specifically includes a clamping cylinder 2321, a first gripper 2322, and a second gripper 2323. The cylinder body of the clamping cylinder 2321 is fixedly connected to the free end of the lifting cylinder 231, enabling the lifting cylinder to drive the entire clamping module 232 to move up and down. The clamping cylinder 2321 can be directly fixedly connected to the free end of the lifting cylinder 231, or it can be fixedly connected to the free end of the lifting cylinder 231 through other means such as setting a mounting plate 233. Preferably, the clamping cylinder 2321 is fixedly connected to the free end of the lifting cylinder 231 through a mounting plate 233. By fixing the clamping cylinder 2321 onto the mounting plate 233, and then fixing the mounting plate 233 to the lifting cylinder 231, when the free end of the lifting cylinder 231 extends or retracts, it will drive the extension or retraction of the mounting plate 233, thereby driving the lifting or retraction of the clamping cylinder 2321. Understandably, the first gripper 2322 can be directly fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 233 or the cylinder body of the clamping cylinder 2321 to form a fixed clamping reference surface. Preferably, the first gripper 2322 is directly fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 233. The second gripper 2323 is fixedly connected to the free end of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 2321, so that it can reciprocate relative to the first gripper 2322 along a linear trajectory under the drive of the clamping cylinder 2321. With this structural arrangement, when the lifting cylinder 231 drives the clamping module 232 to descend to the position of the part 70, the clamping cylinder 2321 can precisely control the second gripper 2323 to move closer to or away from the first gripper 2322, thereby achieving reliable clamping and smooth release of the part 70, ensuring the posture stability and safety of the part 70 during subsequent lifting and rotation adjustments.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first gripper 2322 is a U-shaped gripper, and a magnet 2322a is provided on the first gripper 2322; and / or, the second gripper 2323 has a clamping surface 2323a at one end facing the first gripper 2322, and the shape of the clamping surface 2323a matches the part 70.

[0030] Understandably, the first gripper 2322 is a U-shaped gripper. This U-shaped structure forms a three-sided limiting space, enabling wrap-around positioning of the irregularly shaped part 70. Magnets 2322a are provided on the inner, outer, or bottom side of the first gripper 2322, assisting in maintaining the positional stability of the part 70 under clamping conditions through magnetic adsorption. Preferably, the second gripper 2323 has a clamping surface 2323a at its end facing the first gripper 2322 that matches the surface shape of the part 70. This clamping surface 2323a, by increasing the contact area and complementing the shape, ensures uniform distribution of clamping force and prevents the part 70 from sliding or deflecting during adjustment. By employing a structure combining U-shaped grippers and magnetic adsorption, a dual stabilizing effect of physical limiting and magnetically assisted fixation can be achieved for the ferromagnetic part 70. Furthermore, the shape-matching clamping surface 2323a further improves the clamping adaptability and positional accuracy for irregularly shaped or precision parts 70, thereby significantly enhancing the reliability of clamping during posture adjustment and the consistency of final positioning.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, the transmission correction mechanism 30 includes two guide plates 31 located in the same plane and arranged opposite to each other, forming the channel 30a between the two guide plates 31. Each guide plate 31 has a limiting protrusion 311 arranged opposite to each other at one end near the end 30c of the channel 30a. The distance between the limiting protrusions 311 is less than the length of the part 70 and greater than the width of the part 70.

[0032] Understandably, the transfer correction mechanism 30 includes two guide plates 31 located in the same plane, forming a channel 30a between the two guide plates 31 for constraining and guiding the movement of the part 70. At the end of each guide plate 31 near the end 30c of the channel 30a, a limiting protrusion 311 extends towards the channel 30a. The two limiting protrusions 311 are positioned opposite each other in the horizontal plane, and the distance between them is configured to be less than the overall length of the part 70 to be transported, but greater than the overall width of the part 70. Through this structural design, automatic sorting and correction can be achieved based on the initial posture of the part 70. When the length direction of part 70 is approximately perpendicular to the conveying direction of conveyor belt 11 or there is a large angle between them, as part 70 moves along channel 30a to end 30c, the two front sides of part 70 will simultaneously or sequentially contact the two limiting protrusions 311. If part 70 is slightly tilted, the contact force will generate a corrective torque, causing part 70 to automatically rotate and align or correct its displacement during the small process of continuing to move forward, until part 70 is stably restricted between the two limiting protrusions 311. At this time, the posture of part 70 meets the picking requirements. When the length direction of part 70 is approximately parallel to the conveying direction of conveyor belt 11, as part 70 moves along channel 30a to the end 30c, because the width of part 70 is less than the distance between the limiting protrusions 311, part 70 will pass directly between the two limiting protrusions 311. This indicates that the initial posture deviation of part 70 has exceeded the automatic correction range, and it is an unqualified posture. Part 70 will be transported out of channel 30a, and the posture adjustment mechanism 20 will not perform a gripping operation on it, thereby realizing the automatic screening of unqualified posture parts 70. The limiting protrusion 311 structure not only realizes the automatic angle calibration of part 70, but also has the function of identifying and rejecting parts 70 with out-of-tolerance posture, thereby significantly improving the consistency of gripping by the subsequent posture adjustment mechanism 20, the effectiveness of operation, and the intelligence and reliability of the overall positioning system.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, the part positioning device 100 includes a positioning mechanism 40, the positioning mechanism 40 includes a positioning plate 41, the positioning plate 41 is installed above the conveyor belt 11 and is disposed adjacent to the starting end 30b of the channel 30a, and the end of the positioning plate 41 facing the channel 30a is provided with an abutment surface 41a.

[0034] Understandably, the auxiliary positioning mechanism 40 includes a positioning plate 41, which is installed above the conveyor belt 11 and adjacent to the starting end 30b of the channel 30a. The positioning plate 41 has a vertical abutment surface 41a on the side facing the channel 30a for contacting the side of the part 70. During the initial loading stage, when the operator places the part 70 on the conveyor belt 11, they can manually bring one side of the part 70 closer together and abut against the vertical abutment surface 41a, while simultaneously ensuring the bottom of the part 70 is flat on the surface of the conveyor belt 11. Through this simple manual operation, the position and orientation of the part 70 in the horizontal plane can be roughly manually positioned when it enters the conveyor belt 11. This measure effectively limits the initial posture deviation of the part 70 when it is placed, preventing the part 70 from exceeding the automatic correction capability range of the subsequent transmission correction mechanism 30 due to arbitrary placement angles or positions. This improves the overall fault tolerance and processing reliability of the equipment, reduces the risk of posture adjustment failure due to improper loading, and reduces the stringent requirements on the operator's placement accuracy.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, the positioning mechanism 40 further includes a guide block 42, the guide block 42 having an abutment portion 421, the abutment portion 421 being provided protruding from the abutment surface 41a along the conveying direction and abutting against the groove on the part 70; and / or, the positioning mechanism 40 further includes a heightening leg 43, the conveying assembly 10 further includes a conveying bracket 12, the heightening leg 43 being disposed at the bottom of the positioning plate 41 and fixedly connected to the conveying bracket 12.

[0036] Understandably, the positioning mechanism 40 also includes at least one guide block 42. The guide block 42 is fixedly mounted on the positioning plate 41 and has an abutment portion 421. The abutment portion 421 protrudes from the plane of the abutment surface 41a and extends in the conveying direction. Its shape matches the pre-set positioning groove on the side of the part 70, and is used to embed into the groove when the part 70 is manually placed to achieve circumferential positioning. By setting the guide block 42 with a dedicated abutment portion 421, the groove structure of the part 70 itself can be used to achieve fast and accurate circumferential pre-positioning during the manual loading stage, ensuring that the part 70 has an appropriate initial angle before entering the automatic process, which greatly reduces the correction burden and adjustment time of the subsequent attitude adjustment mechanism 20. Preferably, there are two guide blocks 42. Preferably, the two guide blocks 42 are symmetrically and spaced apart and fixedly mounted on the positioning plate 41; each guide block 42 has an abutment portion 421 extending in the conveying direction. Optionally, the positioning mechanism 40 further includes a heightening leg 43, and the conveying assembly 10 further includes a conveying bracket 12 for supporting the conveyor belt 11. The heightening leg 43 is disposed at the bottom of the positioning plate 41 and is fixedly connected to the conveying bracket 12 by fasteners. The heightening leg 43 enables a certain distance between the bottom of the positioning plate 41 and the conveyor belt 11, avoiding interference between the positioning plate 41 and the movement of the conveyor belt 11.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, the part positioning device 100 further includes a sensor 50, which is disposed on the guide plate 31 and adjacent to the limiting protrusion 311. Optionally, the part positioning device 100 further includes a limiting block 60 disposed at the end of the conveying assembly 10 along the conveying direction.

[0038] Understandably, the sensor 50 is mounted on the guide plate 31 and positioned near the limiting protrusion 311 to detect whether the part 70 has arrived at and stopped at the preset pickup position. By setting the sensor 50, it is possible to sense in real time whether the part 70 has arrived at the predetermined workstation in the correct posture: when the sensor 50 detects the part 70 in place signal, it can immediately control the conveyor belt 11 to stop running and trigger the posture adjustment mechanism 20 to start, executing subsequent gripping and posture adjustment processes, thereby achieving precise timing coordination and fully automatic process control between various execution units and improving the intelligence level of the operation system. Optionally, the part positioning device 100 also includes a limiting block 60, which is located at the end of the conveyor assembly 10 along the conveying direction, that is, at the end edge of the conveyor belt 11 along the conveying direction, to physically block the part 70 moving to the end edge of the conveyor belt 11. By setting the limit block 60, the part 70 with unqualified posture can be finally intercepted, preventing it from accidentally falling off the end of the conveyor belt 11 and causing damage to the part 70, equipment failure or production line blockage. It plays a role in physical error prevention and safety backup, and further enhances the reliability and safety of equipment operation.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, the fixing component 21 includes a fixing base 213, a reinforcing rib 214, a vertically arranged fixing plate 211 and a horizontally arranged support base 212. The fixing plate 211 and the support base 212 are fixedly connected in an "L" shape. One end of the fixing base 213 is fixedly connected to the conveying component 10, and the other end of the fixing base 213 is fixedly connected to the support base 212 through the reinforcing rib 214.

[0040] Understandably, the fixing component 21 includes a fixing base 213, reinforcing ribs 214, a vertically arranged fixing plate 211, and a horizontally arranged support base 212. The fixing plate 211 and the support base 212 are fixedly connected in an "L" shape, forming a vertical mounting frame. The fixing base 213 is located below the support base 212, with one end fixedly connected to the machine conveying bracket 12 of the conveying component 10, and the other end rigidly connected to the bottom or side of the support base 212 via at least one reinforcing rib 214. By adopting an "L"-shaped frame structure composed of the vertical fixing plate 211 and the horizontal support base 212, a sufficiently stable mounting foundation is provided for the attitude adjustment mechanism 20; the fixing base 213 ensures a stable connection between the entire fixing component 21 and the conveying component 10, while the reinforcing ribs 214 significantly enhance the connection strength and stability of the connection area between the fixing base 213 and the support base 212. This structural design effectively suppresses the vibration and minor deformation generated by the attitude adjustment mechanism 20 during lifting, rotation and load changes, ensuring the end-positioning accuracy and motion stability of the clamping and positioning, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and ensuring the reliability of long-term operation.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, a buffer base 215 is arranged parallel to the support base 212, and the buffer base 215 and the support base 212 are fixedly connected by a buffer 216.

[0042] Understandably, a buffer base 215 is also arranged parallel to the support base 212; the buffer base 215 is fixedly connected to the support base 212 by at least one buffer 216, which is configured to absorb and attenuate the impact vibrations exerted by the attitude adjustment mechanism 20 on the buffer base 215. Preferably, there are four buffers 216, which are distributed at the four corners of the buffer base 215. By adding the buffer base 215, which is arranged parallel to the support base 212 and connected by the buffers 216, this structure can effectively absorb and dissipate the vertical impact loads and vibration energy generated when the rotating component 22 and the lifting clamping component 23 start, stop, or experience sudden load changes. The introduction of the buffer 216 significantly reduces the transmission of vibration to the fixed base 213 and the transmission component 10, which not only protects the precision moving parts from impact damage and extends their service life, but also reduces the accumulation of positioning errors caused by vibration, thereby further improving the positioning accuracy and operational stability of the attitude adjustment mechanism 20 in continuous and dynamic operations, and enhancing the adaptability and reliability of the equipment in automated production environments.

[0043] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
