Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tooling design technology, specifically relating to a separation and destacking device and control method for stacked components. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, to facilitate the transfer of materials, materials (parts) are often stacked on top of each other to form a stack. During subsequent operations, in order to improve the work cycle (i.e., efficiency), corresponding handling mechanisms (such as magnetic cylinders, vacuum suction cups, or grippers) are used to handle two materials at a time. The stacked materials are often stacked by flipping the two stacked materials in opposite directions to maximize the utilization of the stacking space. For example, the side panels of an air conditioner. Before entering the next processing step, the front and back sides of the stacked materials need to be flipped to the same side. In existing technologies, this process is done manually, which is labor-intensive and has low efficiency. There is an urgent need to design a device to automate the flipping and separation of the aforementioned stacked materials. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the present invention provides a device and control method for separating and destacking stacked components, which can overcome the shortcomings of related technologies that require manual assistance for destacking stacked components, resulting in a large workload and low operating efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a separation and destacking device for stacked assemblies, comprising a main body, a lifting platform, a tilting platform, a conveying platform, and a pushing component. The lifting platform, tilting platform, and conveying platform are all assembled on the main body, and both the lifting platform and tilting platform are mounted on the conveying platform. The lifting platform has a high position and a low position, and can be controlled to switch between these two states. The tilting platform has a receiving state with its bearing plane facing upwards and a discharging state with its bearing plane facing downwards. The tilting platform can be controlled to... The material receiving state and the material releasing state are switched. When the lifting platform is in the high position, the pushing component can push the upper part of the stacked components on the lifting platform to the bearing plane of the flipping platform. When the lifting platform is in the low position, the pushing component can push the lower part of the stacked components on the lifting platform to the conveying platform. When the flipping platform is in the material releasing state, the upper part can be placed on the conveying platform. The flipping platform has a fixing structure for positioning the upper part during the flipping process.

[0005] In some embodiments, the pushing component includes a first telescopic cylinder assembly and a second telescopic cylinder assembly, both of which are assembled on the main body of the device and are spaced apart vertically. The first telescopic cylinder assembly is used to push the upper component of the stacked components on the lifting platform onto the bearing plane of the flipping platform, and the second telescopic cylinder assembly is used to push the lower component of the stacked components on the lifting platform onto the conveying platform.

[0006] In some embodiments, the pushing component further includes a third telescopic cylinder assembly, which is assembled on the main body of the device and located in the area between the first telescopic cylinder assembly and the second telescopic cylinder assembly, for pushing the lower component on the lifting platform when the lifting platform is in a high position to adjust the position of the lower component and the upper component on the lifting platform.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first telescopic cylinder assembly and the second telescopic cylinder assembly each have at least one force-applying telescopic rod, and the third telescopic cylinder assembly has at least two force-applying telescopic rods, with a buffer spring fitted on each of the force-applying telescopic rods.

[0008] In some embodiments, the main body of the device is further provided with a blocking positioning member, which is located between the lifting platform and the tilting platform. When the lifting platform is in the high position, the height of the blocking part of the blocking positioning member is between the bearing plane of the lifting platform and the top surface of the lower part.

[0009] In some embodiments, the upper and lower components are L-shaped sheet metal parts, and a clearance interval is formed between the blocking and positioning component and the lifting platform; and / or, the blocking and positioning component is a plate.

[0010] In some embodiments, the lifting platform has a clearance notch formed on one edge near the clearance interval.

[0011] In some embodiments, the fixing structure is an electromagnet; and / or, the flipping platform is rotatably connected to the main body of the device, and further includes a rotation drive component for driving the flipping platform to flip up and down.

[0012] In some embodiments, the main body of the device is provided with a platform frame, the pushing component is assembled on the platform frame, and the platform frame is also provided with opposing fourth telescopic cylinder assemblies, the extension and retraction directions of the force-applying telescopic rods of the two fourth telescopic cylinder assemblies are perpendicular to the extension and retraction directions of the force-applying telescopic rods of the first telescopic cylinder assembly in the horizontal plane.

[0013] The present invention also provides a control method for a separation and destacking device for stacked assemblies as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0014] Detect whether stacked components are placed on the lifting platform in the high position;

[0015] When a stacked assembly is detected on the lifting platform, the pushing component is controlled to move to push the upper component of the stacked assembly onto the flipping platform, and then:

[0016] First, control the flipping platform to flip up and down, then flip the upper part and place it on the conveying platform. Next, control the lifting platform to switch to the low position and control the pushing component to push the lower part of the stacked assembly onto the conveying platform; or...

[0017] First, control the lifting platform to switch to the low position, and control the pushing component to push the lower part of the stacked assembly onto the conveying platform. Then, control the flipping platform to flip up and down to place the upper part onto the conveying platform; or...

[0018] While controlling the flipping platform to flip up and down and place the upper part on the conveying platform, the lifting platform is switched to the low position, and the pushing component is operated to push the lower part of the stacked assembly onto the conveying platform.

[0019] In some embodiments, when the pushing component includes a first telescopic cylinder assembly, a second telescopic cylinder assembly, and a third telescopic cylinder assembly, and the main body of the device is provided with a blocking and positioning component, when it is detected that an upper and lower stacked assembly is placed on the lifting platform, the third telescopic cylinder assembly is first controlled to extend and retract to apply force to the lower component to push the upper and lower stacked assembly as a whole to collide with the blocking and positioning component to achieve positioning in the first direction. Then, the first telescopic cylinder assembly and the second telescopic cylinder assembly are sequentially controlled to extend and retract to transfer the upper and lower components in sequence.

[0020] In some embodiments, when the fixing structure is an electromagnet, the electromagnet is energized after the upper part is pushed onto the bearing plane of the tilting platform, and the electromagnet is de-energized when the tilting platform switches from the receiving state to the discharging state; and / or, when a fourth telescopic cylinder assembly is included, the fourth telescopic cylinder assembly is also controlled to operate when the third telescopic cylinder assembly is operating.

[0021] The present invention provides a separation and destacking device and control method for stacked assemblies, which has the following advantages:

[0022] The lifting platform and the flipping platform can respectively support the lower and upper parts of the stacked components. The flipping platform can be controlled to flip the upper part, thus ensuring that the upper and lower parts maintain the same posture on the conveyor platform (i.e., the front and back sides and the front and rear ends are in the same direction). This facilitates consistent operation of each component in subsequent processes. The separation and destacking device in this technical solution enables mechanized flipping of one component in the stacked components without manual assistance, which can significantly reduce workload and improve work efficiency.

[0034] 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 some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention or its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0036] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90° or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0037] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 8As shown in the figure, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a separation and destacking device for stacked components is provided, including a device body 1, a lifting platform 2, a flipping platform 3, a conveying platform 4, and a pushing component (not indicated in the figure). The lifting platform 2, the flipping platform 3, and the conveying platform 4 are all assembled on the device body 1. The lifting platform 2 and the flipping platform 3 are both mounted on the conveying platform 4. The lifting platform 2 has a high position state and a low position state. It is understood that the bearing plane of the lifting platform 2 in the high position state is higher than the bearing plane in the low position state. In a specific embodiment, when the lifting platform 2 is in the high position state, the bearing plane of the lifting platform 2 is at least not lower than the bearing plane of the flipping platform 3, preferably at the same height. When the lifting platform 2 is in the low position state, the bearing plane of the lifting platform 2 is at least not lower than the bearing plane of the conveying platform 4, preferably at the same height. The flipping platform 3 can be controlled to switch between the high and low states. It has a receiving state with its bearing plane facing upward and a discharging state with its bearing plane facing downward. The flipping platform 3 can be controlled to switch between the receiving state and the discharging state. When the lifting platform 2 is in the high state, the pushing component can push the upper part 101 of the stacked components on the lifting platform 2 to the bearing plane of the flipping platform 3. It can also push the lower part 102 of the stacked components on the lifting platform 2 to the conveying platform 4 when the lifting platform 2 is in the low state. When the flipping platform 3 is in the discharging state, the upper part 101 can be placed on the conveying platform 4. The flipping platform 3 has a fixing structure 31, which is used to position the upper part 101 during the flipping process of the flipping platform 3.

[0039] In this technical solution, the lifting platform 2 and the flipping platform 3 can respectively support the lower part 102 and the upper part 101 in the stacked components. The flipping platform 3 can be controlled to flip the upper part 101, so that the upper part 101 and the lower part 102 have the same posture on the conveying platform 4 (that is, the front and back sides and the front and rear ends are in the same direction). This is conducive to the consistency of the operation of each component in subsequent processes. The separation and destacking device in this technical solution realizes the mechanized flipping operation of one component in the stacked components without manual assistance, which can significantly reduce the workload and improve the work efficiency.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, the aforementioned upper part 101 and lower part 102 are both sheet metal parts of the outdoor unit side panel of the air conditioner. After flipping the upper part 101, the upper part 101 and the lower part 102 are in the same posture. This allows the same structure to be used when painting the upper part 101 and the lower part 102 during the subsequent suspension operation.

[0041] In some embodiments, the pushing component includes a first telescopic cylinder assembly 51 and a second telescopic cylinder assembly 52. ​​The first telescopic cylinder assembly 51 and the second telescopic cylinder assembly 52 are both assembled on the main body 1 of the device and are arranged vertically at intervals. The first telescopic cylinder assembly 51 is used to push the upper component 101 of the stacked components on the lifting platform 2 onto the bearing plane of the flipping platform 3. The second telescopic cylinder assembly 52 is used to push the lower component 102 of the stacked components on the lifting platform 2 onto the conveying platform 4.

[0042] In this technical solution, the pushing component includes a first telescopic cylinder assembly 51 and a second telescopic cylinder assembly 52 arranged at intervals. The two are respectively responsible for the transfer of the upper part 101 and the lower part 102, which can ensure the positional accuracy of the two telescopic cylinder assemblies and the upper part 101 and the lower part 102, and prevent the phenomenon of component transfer error caused by the deviation of the action position due to height switching.

[0043] In some embodiments, the pushing component further includes a third telescopic cylinder assembly 53, which is assembled on the main body 1 of the device and located in the area between the first telescopic cylinder assembly 51 and the second telescopic cylinder assembly 52. ​​This third telescopic cylinder assembly 53 is used to push the lower component 102 on the lifting platform 2 when the lifting platform 2 is in a high position, thereby adjusting the position of the lower component 102 and the upper component 101 on the lifting platform 2. Specifically, see [link to documentation]. Figure 1 As shown, the aforementioned lifting platform 2 and tilting platform 3 are arranged parallel to each other at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveying platform 4.

[0044] In this technical solution, a third telescopic cylinder assembly 53 is further provided between the first telescopic cylinder assembly 51 and the second telescopic cylinder assembly 52. ​​The third telescopic cylinder assembly 53 can apply force to the lower part 102, and the extension length of the telescopic rod of the third telescopic cylinder assembly 53 can restrict the push-out position of the lower part 102, thereby realizing the positioning of the lower part 102. It is understood that the upper part 101, which is above the lower part 102, will move forward synchronously with the lower part 102 to realize the overall position determination of the stacked components.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first telescopic cylinder assembly 51 and the second telescopic cylinder assembly 52 each have at least one force-applying telescopic rod, and the third telescopic cylinder assembly 53 has at least two force-applying telescopic rods, with a buffer spring 531 fitted on each of the force-applying telescopic rods.

[0046] In this technical solution, the third telescopic cylinder assembly 53 employs two force-applying telescopic rods, which improves the uniformity of synchronous force application to the lower component 102, thereby preventing excessive and concentrated force on the lower component 102, which could lead to deformation and damage. Simultaneously, the buffer spring 531 buffers the retraction of the force-applying telescopic rods, preventing cylinder damage caused by excessive force. It should be noted that compared to the first telescopic cylinder assembly 51 and the second telescopic cylinder assembly 52, which act solely on the upper component 101 or the lower component 102, the third telescopic cylinder assembly 53, acting on the lower component 102 while also having the upper component 101 stacked on top of it, requires a greater force. If this greater force is too concentrated, it could cause deformation and damage to the lower component 102. This invention utilizes a dual-rod, dual-point application, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of excessively concentrated and excessive force at a single point.

[0047] In some embodiments, the main body 1 of the device is further provided with a blocking positioning member 6. The blocking positioning member 6 is located between the lifting platform 2 and the tilting platform 3. When the lifting platform 2 is in the high position, the height of the blocking part (not marked in the figure) of the blocking positioning member 6 is between the bearing plane of the lifting platform 2 and the top surface of the lower part 102. The aforementioned blocking part is also the part that objectively abuts against the edge of the lower part 102 near the tilting platform 3. Specifically, it can be a flange plane.

[0048] In this technical solution, by setting the blocking positioning component 6, the front and rear positions of the lower component 102 can be accurately positioned, preventing inertial overshoot during the horizontal positioning process of the stacked components and causing positioning inaccuracy.

[0049] In some embodiments, the upper component 101 and the lower component 102 are L-shaped sheet metal parts, see details below. Figure 2 As shown, the L-shaped sheet metal part includes a flat plate and a folded edge 1011 on one side edge of the flat plate. When the stacked components are placed on the lifting platform 2, the folded edge 1011 of the upper component 101 faces upward, while the folded edge 1011 of the lower component 102 faces downward. Correspondingly, a clearance interval 61 is formed between the blocking positioning component 6 and the lifting platform 2. When the lower component 102 is pushed forward by the third telescopic cylinder assembly 53, the folded edge 1011 of the lower component 102 will be accommodated within the aforementioned clearance interval 61, thereby making the flat plate of the L-shaped sheet metal part horizontal. This facilitates the subsequent use of the first telescopic cylinder assembly 51 to push the upper component 101 away from the lower component 102 and place it on the flipping platform 3.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, the blocking positioning member 6 is a plate, and the aforementioned positioning part is the side of the plate facing the lifting platform 2.

[0051] In some embodiments, the lifting platform 2 has a clearance notch 21 formed on one side edge near the clearance interval 61. The specific location of the clearance notch 21 corresponds to the location of the structure (e.g., a fastener) on the lower part 102 at its folded edge 1011 position, so as to prevent the corresponding structure from contacting and damaging the lifting platform 2 when the folded edge 1011 enters the clearance interval 61.

[0052] In some embodiments, the fixing structure 31 is an electromagnet, and the corresponding upper part 101 or lower part 102 is made of ferromagnetic material such as iron. By controlling the on and off of the electromagnet, the sheet metal parts on the flipping platform 3 can be attracted or de-attracted. The control is very simple and convenient, and it can greatly simplify the structural design of the fixing structure 31. In other feasible embodiments, the fixing structure 31 can also adopt a gripper structure or a vacuum adsorption structure, and for ferromagnetic material parts, an electromagnet is preferred.

[0053] In some embodiments, the tilting platform 3 is rotatably connected to the main body 1 of the device, and further includes a rotary drive component 32. The rotary drive component 32 is used to drive the tilting platform 3 to tilt up and down (specifically, tilt up and down by 180°), that is, the tilting platform 3 achieves its switching between the receiving state and the discharging state by rotation. The structure is relatively compact. The aforementioned rotary drive component 32 can be, for example, a rotary motor or a rotary cylinder with a buffer function. It has a compact structure and a high position angle. It is understood that the rotary drive component 32 can meet the position switching requirements of the tilting platform 3 of the present invention by having two position switching capabilities. In other feasible embodiments, the aforementioned rotary drive component 32 can also be implemented by using a telescopic cylinder and a gear rack to convert the linear displacement of the telescopic cylinder into the rotation of the gear through the linear movement of the rack.

[0054] The aforementioned lifting platform 2 is equipped with a lifting drive component (not shown or labeled in the figure) to drive its lifting and lowering. This lifting drive component can be, for example, a lifting cylinder or a lead screw module. The lifting platform 2 is slidably connected to the main body 1 via four lifting guide columns 22 at its four corners to ensure smooth switching between lifting and lowering states. It is understood that corresponding linear sliding bearings (not labeled in the figure) are also provided between the aforementioned lifting platform 2 and each lifting guide column 22.

[0055] In some embodiments, the main body 1 of the device is provided with a platform frame 11, the pushing component is assembled on the platform frame 11, and the platform frame 11 is also provided with opposing fourth telescopic cylinder assemblies 7, the extension and retraction directions of the force-applying telescopic rods of the two fourth telescopic cylinder assemblies 7 are perpendicular to the extension and retraction directions of the force-applying telescopic rods of the first telescopic cylinder assembly 51 in the horizontal plane.

[0056] In this technical solution, by further setting relative fourth telescopic cylinder assemblies 7 on the left and right sides of the lifting platform 2, a centering force can be applied to the left and right ends of the stacked components placed on the lifting platform 2, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the centering of the stacked components.

[0057] It should be noted that the aforementioned first telescopic cylinder assembly 51, second telescopic cylinder assembly 52, third telescopic cylinder assembly 53 and fourth telescopic cylinder assembly 7 can be configured with corresponding linear sliding guide rails according to actual needs to ensure the reliable and stable extension and retraction of the force-applying telescopic cylinders of each telescopic cylinder assembly.

[0058] In some embodiments, the rotary drive component 32 and each telescopic cylinder assembly can be equipped with in-situ and out-of-situ magnetic switches to reliably detect their respective rotational or linear displacements.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a control method for a separation and destacking device for stacked assemblies as described above is also provided, comprising the following steps:

[0060] The corresponding in-situ sensing sensor detects whether stacked components are placed on the lifting platform 2, which is in the high position.

[0061] When it is detected that a stacked assembly is placed on the lifting platform 2, the pushing component is controlled to operate to push the upper component 101 of the stacked assembly onto the flipping platform 3, and then:

[0062] First, the flipping platform 3 is controlled to flip up and down (specifically, flip up and down 180°), and then the upper part 101 is flipped over and placed on the conveying platform 4. At this time, when the fixing structure 31 is an electromagnet, the electromagnet is energized after the upper part 101 is pushed onto the bearing plane of the flipping platform 3. When the flipping platform 3 switches from the receiving state to the discharging state, the electromagnet is de-energized, and then the lifting platform 2 is controlled to switch to the low position state. The pushing component is then controlled to operate to push the lower part 102 in the stacked assembly onto the conveying platform 4. This achieves the purpose of keeping the posture of the upper part 101 and the lower part 102 on the conveying platform 4 consistent after the upper part 101 is flipped over. It can be understood that when the upper part 101 is separated from the flipping platform 3, the flipping platform 3 can be controlled to flip back to the receiving state. When the lower part 102 is pushed from the lifting platform 2 onto the conveying platform 4, the lifting platform 2 can be controlled to flip back to the receiving state. The lifting platform 2 can be raised to a high position; or, the lifting platform 2 can be switched to a low position first, and the pushing component can be operated to push the lower part 102 of the stacked assembly onto the conveying platform 4, and then the flipping platform 3 can be flipped up and down to place the upper part 101 onto the conveying platform 4; or, the flipping platform 3 can be flipped up and down to place the upper part 101 onto the conveying platform 4, while the lifting platform 2 is switched to a low position and the pushing component is operated to push the lower part 102 of the stacked assembly onto the conveying platform 4. The above three methods can be reasonably selected according to specific needs, but it should be ensured that the upper part 101 and the lower part 102 are placed in an orderly interval along the conveying direction on the conveying platform 4. That is, when placing the upper part 101 or the lower part 102 on the conveying platform 4, it should be ensured that there is no material on the corresponding placement position.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the pushing component includes a first telescopic cylinder assembly 51, a second telescopic cylinder assembly 52, and a third telescopic cylinder assembly 53, and the main body 1 of the device is provided with a blocking positioning member 6, when it is detected that a stacked assembly is placed on the lifting platform 2, the third telescopic cylinder assembly 53 is first controlled to extend and retract to apply force to the lower component 102 to push the entire stacked assembly against the blocking positioning member 6 to achieve positioning in the first direction. Then, the first telescopic cylinder assembly 51 and the second telescopic cylinder assembly 52 are sequentially controlled to extend and retract to transfer the upper component 101 and the lower component 102 in sequence.

[0064] When the fourth telescopic cylinder assembly 7 is included, the operation of the fourth telescopic cylinder assembly 7 is also controlled when the third telescopic cylinder assembly 53 is in operation, so as to achieve left-right centering of the stacked components.

[0065] The aforementioned in-situ sensing sensor can be, for example, a through-beam photoelectric sensor or a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor. Diffuse reflection photoelectric sensors have low space requirements for installation, but they cannot sense irregular curved surfaces. Therefore, through-beam photoelectric sensors are preferred for parts with irregular surfaces.

[0066] It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that, without conflict, the advantageous technical features of the above-mentioned methods can be freely combined and superimposed.

[0067] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
