Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention discloses a loading and unloading device with an intermediate transition position, which relates to the field of manufacturing technology of loading and unloading production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, product transfer and loading / unloading are common processes in automated production and assembly. During the flow of products through the equipment, they often need to move from one position to another, where they perform corresponding functional actions, such as changing direction, before moving from the second position to the third. In traditional equipment, typically one set of power is needed to move the product from the first position to the second position, and another set of power is needed to move the product from the second position to the third position. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a loading and unloading device with intermediate transition positions, which uses the same power to load and unload products at three positions, thereby improving the production efficiency of the equipment.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: A loading and unloading device with an intermediate transition position includes a support base, a left and right movement power source, left and right slides, a first adsorption gripping component, and a second adsorption gripping component. The left and right movement power source is installed on the support base and is connected to the left and right slides to drive the left and right slides to move laterally. The first adsorption gripping component and the second adsorption gripping component are installed in parallel on the left and right slides along the direction of translation. The first adsorption gripping component and the second adsorption gripping component are controlled by different power to lift and lower the suction head unit for adsorbing and gripping products. The left and right moving power source can drive the first adsorption and gripping component and the second adsorption and gripping component to move left and right simultaneously, so as to pick up and place the product at the first position to the second position, and at the same time pick up and place the product at the second position to the third position.

[0005] Furthermore, the second adsorption gripping component includes a front-to-back adjustment mechanism, which adjusts the front-to-back position of the suction head unit of the first adsorption gripping component relative to the suction head unit of the second adsorption gripping component, so as to adapt to situations where the second position and the third position are not on the same line.

[0006] Furthermore, the front and rear adjustment mechanism includes front and rear cylinders, the telescopic ends of which are connected to the suction head unit. In addition to the front and rear cylinders and the suction head unit moving up and down synchronously, the suction head unit is controlled to move forward and backward by the front and rear cylinders.

[0007] Furthermore, both the first and second adsorption gripping components include a lifting cylinder, a lifting frame, and a suction head unit. The lifting cylinder is mounted on the left and right slides, and the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the lifting frame. The end of the lifting frame away from the left and right slides is connected to the suction head unit. The lifting cylinder drives the suction head unit to move up and down to pick up and put down the product.

[0008] Furthermore, the suction head unit is a spring-loaded suction head unit, including a suction rod head and a matching spring-loaded spring. When the suction rod head is compressed by the spring, the assembly requirements of the equipment and the precision requirements of the parts processing can be reduced in the height direction at three positions.

[0009] Furthermore, the suction head unit includes a slider, a slide rod, and a mounting bracket. The slider is connected and fixed to the suction rod head. The upper part of the slider is connected to the slide rod, and a spring is sleeved on the slide rod. The slide rod is connected to the upper limit plate of the mounting bracket. The spring is located between the slider and the upper limit plate. The slider cooperates with the slide rail of the mounting bracket. The bottom of the mounting bracket is provided with a lower limit plate to limit the slider.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting frame is equipped with a limit buffer to achieve limit buffering. The lifting frame includes an L-shaped lifting plate, one side of which cooperates with the left and right sliding seats through a vertical slide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, the suction head unit is a dual-station suction head unit, where the first or second suction gripping component can grip two products at a time, forming a dual-station loading and unloading device.

[0012] Furthermore, the suction head unit of the first or second adsorption gripping component includes two suction rods, and the adsorption end of the suction rod is provided with two or more suction holes. Each suction rod and a corresponding spring cooperate to form an adaptive spring-loaded suction head unit.

[0013] Furthermore, the power source for left and right movement is a moving electric cylinder, which is mounted on the support base. The moving part of the moving electric cylinder is connected to the left and right slides. A translational slide rail is provided on one side of the support base, and the left and right slides cooperate with the translational slide rail through a sliding sleeve.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The present invention provides a loading and unloading device with intermediate position transition, comprising two sets of adsorption and gripping devices. The two sets of gripping devices move simultaneously left and right, and can be controlled independently up and down, thus solving the problem of loading and unloading with intermediate position transition.

[0015] 2. The present invention provides a loading and unloading device with an intermediate transition position, which has dual-station adsorption and gripping of products, improves production and assembly efficiency, and has wide applicability and strong compatibility.

[0016] 3. The device of the present invention has a spring pressing mechanism and front and rear cylinders at the front end, which can reduce the precision error in the processing and assembly process, ensure the accuracy and stability of the product loading and unloading position, and can be widely used in automated production equipment.

[0024] Example: In automated production and assembly equipment, the product loading and unloading mechanism is a common and important component. In the process of replacing manual labor to realize fully automated loading and unloading assembly of products, the product loading and unloading mechanism varies due to different requirements for equipment production efficiency, different product production and assembly processes, and different assembly precision requirements.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 5A loading and unloading device with an intermediate transition position includes a support base 1, a left and right moving power source 2, left and right sliding blocks 3, a first adsorption gripping component 4, and a second adsorption gripping component 5. The left and right moving power source 2 is installed on the support base 1 and is connected to the left and right sliding blocks 3 to drive the left and right sliding blocks to move laterally. The first adsorption gripping component 4 and the second adsorption gripping component 5 are installed in parallel along the direction of translation on the left and right sliding blocks 3. The first adsorption gripping component 4 and the second adsorption gripping component 5 are controlled by different power to lift and lower the suction head unit for adsorbing and gripping products. There is a fixed interval between the first adsorption gripping component 4 and the second adsorption gripping component 5. The specific interval distance is set according to the actual production needs. like Figure 2 As shown, the left-right moving power source is defined with three positions for placing products: a first position A, a second position B, and a third position C, where the second position is an intermediate transition position. The left-right moving power source 2 can drive the first adsorption gripping component 4 and the second adsorption gripping component 5 to move left and right simultaneously, for picking up and placing the product from the first position to the second position, and simultaneously picking up and placing the product from the second position to the third position. Of course, the first, second, and third positions in this invention can also be... Figure 2 In the reverse order, the two sets of gripping components move in opposite directions to achieve loading and unloading operations.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The first adsorption gripping component 4 or the second adsorption gripping component 5 of this application both include a lifting cylinder 61, a lifting frame 62, and a suction head unit 63. The lifting cylinder 61 is mounted on the left and right slides 3. The telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 61 is connected to the lifting frame 62. The end of the lifting frame 62 away from the left and right slides 3 is connected to the suction head unit 63. The lifting cylinder 61 drives the suction head unit 63 to move up and down to pick up and put down products. The suction head unit 63 is a spring-loaded suction head unit, including a suction rod head 631 and a matching spring-loaded spring 632. When the suction rod head 631 is compressed, the spring is compressed, which can reduce the precision requirements for equipment assembly and parts processing in the height direction at three positions. In one embodiment, the suction head unit 63 further includes a slider 633, a slide rod, and a mounting bracket 635. The slider 633 is connected and fixed to the suction rod head 631. The upper part of the slider 633 is connected to the slide rod, and a spring 632 is sleeved on the slide rod. The slide rod is connected to the upper limit plate 634 of the mounting bracket 635. The spring 632 is located between the slider 633 and the upper limit plate 636. The slider 633 and the mounting bracket 635 are connected and cooperated through a slide rail. The bottom of the mounting bracket 635 is provided with a lower limit plate 636 for limiting the slider.

[0027] like Figure 5In one embodiment of the present invention, the second adsorption and gripping component 5 includes a front-to-back adjustment mechanism. This mechanism adjusts the front-to-back position of the suction head unit 63 of the second adsorption and gripping component relative to the suction head unit of the first adsorption and gripping component, to accommodate situations where the second and third positions are not aligned. The front-to-back adjustment mechanism includes front and rear cylinders 64. The telescopic ends of the front and rear cylinders 64 are connected to the suction head unit 63. In addition to the front and rear cylinders 64 moving up and down synchronously with the suction head unit 63 of the second adsorption and gripping component, the suction head unit 63 is also controlled to move forward and backward by the front and rear cylinders.

[0028] The present invention provides a loading and unloading device with an intermediate transition position. The device has two sets of adsorption and gripping components. The two sets of gripping components move simultaneously left and right, and can be controlled independently up and down. The front end of the device is equipped with a spring pressing mechanism and front and rear cylinders, which can reduce the precision error in the processing and assembly process and ensure the accuracy and stability of the product loading and unloading position. The device has wide applicability and strong compatibility and can be widely used in automated production equipment.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The lifting frame 62 of the first adsorption gripping component 4 or the second adsorption gripping component 5 is equipped with a limit buffer 7 to achieve limit buffering. Each gripping component is equipped with two pairs of limit buffers. The lifting frame 62 includes an L-shaped lifting plate. The vertical side of the L-shaped lifting plate cooperates with the left and right slide seats 3 through a vertical slide rail. The horizontal side of the L-shaped lifting plate is directly connected to the suction head unit 63 or connected through the front and rear cylinders.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The suction head unit in this invention is a dual-station suction head unit. The first or second suction gripping component can grip two products in a single descent, forming a dual-station loading and unloading device. For example... Figures 1 to 5 The diagrams shown are all of dual-station structure. The suction head unit 63 of the first adsorption gripping component 4 or the second adsorption gripping component 5 includes two suction rods 631. The adsorption end of the suction rod 631 is provided with two or more suction holes. Each suction rod 631 cooperates with a corresponding spring to form an adaptive spring-loaded suction head unit.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this invention, the left and right moving power source 2 is a moving electric cylinder or other translational force, wherein the moving electric cylinder is installed on the support base 1, the moving part of the moving electric cylinder is connected to the left and right slides 3, and a translational slide rail is provided on one side of the support base 1, and the left and right slides 3 cooperate with the translational slide rail through a sliding sleeve.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the device of this invention includes a basic support base 1, a first lifting cylinder, a second lifting cylinder, a first dual-station adsorption and gripping component, a second dual-station adsorption and gripping component, a left-right movement power source 2, front and rear power cylinders of the second dual-station adsorption and gripping component, and a front spring-loaded mechanism for adsorption and gripping. This device utilizes the first and second lifting cylinders to independently control the up-and-down movement of the first and second dual-station adsorption and gripping components. The left-right movement power source drives the first and second dual-station adsorption and gripping components to move left and right simultaneously, thereby enabling the simultaneous transfer of two products from position 1 to position 2, and simultaneously transferring two products from position 2 to position 3. The front ends of the first and second dual-station adsorption and gripping components are equipped with spring-loaded devices, which can reduce the high precision requirements for the three loading and unloading positions during assembly or parts processing. The front end of the second dual-station adsorption and gripping component also has a front and rear power cylinder to accommodate situations where the three loading and unloading positions are inconsistent.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the device of this invention enables products at two workstations to be picked up and placed from position 1 to position 2, and simultaneously, products at position 2 are picked up and placed from position 3. A first dual-workstation adsorption and gripping component and a second dual-workstation adsorption and gripping component are responsible for adsorbing and picking up / placing products at the two workstations. The upper and lower springs attached to their front ends are compressed under pressure, which can reduce the precision requirements for equipment assembly and parts processing in the height direction at the three positions. A first lifting cylinder and a second lifting cylinder independently control the up-and-down movement of the first and second dual-workstation adsorption and gripping components. The front end of the second dual-workstation adsorption and gripping component is also equipped with a front and rear cylinder 64, which is mainly suitable for equipment where positions 2 and 3 are not on the same line. A left-right moving electric cylinder controls the simultaneous left-right movement of the first and second dual-workstation adsorption and gripping components, thereby enabling the simultaneous picking up and placing of two products from position 1 to position 2, and simultaneously the picking up and placing of two products from position 2 to position 3.

[0034] The device of this invention has a simple structure, high production efficiency, low cost and small space occupation, stable loading and unloading, accurate positioning, and wide applicability and strong compatibility.
