[0028] Working principle:
[0029] The utility model does not require much debugging when in use:
[0030] Before starting the equipment, the copper tube raw material is manually placed in the blanking frame 1-3 and then the equipment is started. The copper tube raw material passes through the belt lifting mechanism 1-4 to automatically load the copper tube, and the copper material will fall into the loading belt mechanism 3 and fall on the loading belt assembly 3-1. The reduction mechanism 2 3-7 drives the copper material on the loading belt assembly 3-1 to move, and then moves to the material picking waiting position of the SCARA robot 4-1 in the robot assembly 4. The copper material in the loading belt mechanism 3 is detected by taking pictures with the camera in the visual recognition system 5 set above the material picking waiting position. When the copper material in the loading belt mechanism 3 is not recognized by the camera in the visual recognition system 5 in time and is grabbed by the SCARA robot 4-1, the remaining copper material falls into the return belt assembly 2-2 in the return mechanism 2 under the frame table of the main body of the mechanism under the continuous movement of the loading belt assembly 3-1, and then falls back into the return frame 1-6 in the lifting mechanism 1 through the return belt assembly 2-2. When the copper material is photographed and identified by the camera in the visual recognition system 5 on the feeding belt mechanism 3, the feeding belt mechanism 3 sends the copper material to the robot's material picking waiting position, and the SCARA robot 4-1 receives the instruction to grab the copper material through the feeding suction cup 4-2 and automatically send it to the discharge mechanism 6.
[0031] Since the robot mounting base 4-3 is installed on the frame table of the main body of the mechanism and there are two of them, the purpose is that when one SCARA robot 4-1 is grabbing the copper material, the other SCARA robot 4-1 is executing the waiting position. When the arm of the SCARA robot 4-1 grabbing the copper material grabs the copper material to the waiting position, the arm of the other SCARA robot 4-1 has grabbed the copper material to the discharge position in the orderly discharge mechanism 6. In this way, when the arm of this SCARA robot 4-1 returns to the position of grabbing the copper material, the arm of the other SCARA robot 4-1 is in the discharge position, thereby realizing automatic and orderly loading.
[0032] The above are only preferred implementations of the present invention, which are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present application. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
