Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automation equipment, in particular to a multi-station adsorption, flipping and transferring mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial automated production, frequent flipping and transfer operations are essential, especially for the continuous processing of sheet materials (such as circuit boards, thin metal sheets, etc.). Traditional single-station adsorption transfer equipment is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of high-speed, high-precision continuous production. In addition, existing flipping and transfer mechanisms often lack precise position control and pressure detection functions, which can easily lead to problems such as position displacement and damage of materials during flipping and transfer, affecting product quality and production stability.

[0003] Deficiencies of existing technology:

[0004] 1. Most of the existing flipping and transferring mechanisms can only realize single or limited flipping and transferring actions, and cannot realize multi-station continuous operation, resulting in low equipment utilization and low production efficiency.

[0005] 2. During the material turning process, there is a lack of effective adsorption and fixing devices, which may cause the material to fall off during the turning process, affecting the safety and reliability of the processing process.

[0006] 3. The material transfer positioning is not accurate enough, and there is a lack of an automated precise positioning system. The positioning sensor and the induction sheet described in the claims are used in combination, which makes it difficult for the material to be accurately docked to the next workstation.

[0007] 4. Inaccurate control of the pressure on the material during the turning and transfer process may cause the material to be deformed or damaged due to excessive force. The utility model effectively solves this problem by providing a pressure sensor and a compression spring, thereby ensuring the safety of the material transfer process.

[0008] 5. The traditional mechanism may cause unstable movement during the lifting process due to the lack of a guide structure. However, in the utility model, the first bracket is lifted and lowered by a guide column, which can ensure its linear and smooth movement, thereby improving the stability of the equipment operation and the service life.

[0009] Therefore, the prior art has deficiencies and needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0057] The flip cylinder 103 is mounted on the first bracket 105, the flip adsorption block 101 is mounted on the rotating shaft of the flip cylinder 103, and the lifting cylinder 104 is mounted on the lower end of the first bracket 105; the flip adsorption block 101 is provided with a first air hole 102;

[0058] The linear transfer module 2 includes: a transfer platform 201, which is provided with a second air hole 202; the sheet material to be processed is placed on the flip adsorption block 101, the first air hole 102 sucks air to adsorb and fix the sheet material to be processed, the flip cylinder 103 drives the flip adsorption block 101 to flip 180 degrees, so that the upper surface of the flip adsorption block 101 faces downward, the lifting cylinder 104 drives the first bracket 105 to descend, and then drives the flip adsorption block 101 to descend, the flip adsorption block 101 and the transfer platform 201 below are interlocked with each other, the first air hole 102 releases gas to let the sheet material to be processed fall onto the transfer platform 201, the second air hole 202 of the transfer platform 201 sucks air to fix the sheet material to be processed on the transfer platform 201 and is transported away by the linear transfer module 2.

[0059] The linear transfer module 2 also includes: a motor 203, a synchronous belt 204, a synchronous wheel 205, and a first slide rail 206; the motor 203 and the synchronous wheel 205 are respectively located at the two ends of the first slide rail 206, the transfer platform 201 is fixed on the synchronous belt 204 and slidably installed on the first slide rail 206, and the two ends of the synchronous belt 204 are respectively installed on the motor 203 and the synchronous wheel 205; the motor 203 drives the synchronous belt 204 to rotate and then drives the transfer platform 201 to reciprocate on the first slide rail 206.

[0060] A positioning sensor 207 is arranged next to the first slide rail 206, and an induction sheet 208 is arranged on the transfer platform 201. The induction sheet 208 follows the transfer platform 201 in the process of reciprocating movement on the first slide rail 206 and passes through the positioning sensor 207. The positioning sensor 207 positions the transfer platform 201. After receiving the signal from the positioning sensor 207, the motor 203 stops rotating, allowing the transfer platform 201 to stop under the flip adsorption block 101.

[0061] The transfer platform 201 is provided with a pressure sensor 209 for detecting the pressure during the interlocking process between the flip adsorption block 101 and the transfer platform 201 to avoid damaging the sheet material to be processed. The transfer platform 201 is also provided with a compression spring 210 for buffering the pressure during the interlocking process between the flip adsorption block 101 and the transfer platform 201.

The first bracket 105 is provided with a vacuum pipeline 212 connected to the flip adsorption block 101.

[0062] The principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0063] Adsorption and flipping process: First, the sheet material to be processed is placed on the flipping adsorption block 101 in the flipping module 1. The vacuum source is connected through the first air hole 102 to adsorb and fix the material. Then, the flipping cylinder 103 is started to drive the flipping adsorption block 101 to flip 180 degrees to achieve the flipping action of the material.

[0064] Lifting and docking process: After flipping, the lifting cylinder 104 drives the first bracket 105 to descend, and the flipping adsorption block 101 is synchronously descended. When the flipping adsorption block 101 descends to the position where it interlocks with the transfer platform 201 on the linear transfer module 2, it stops descending. At this time, the first air hole 102 on the flipping adsorption block 101 releases gas to release the adsorption of the material, and the material naturally falls to the prepared transfer platform 201 below due to gravity.

[0065] Transfer and positioning process: The linear transfer module 2 is driven by the motor 203, and the synchronous belt 204 and the synchronous wheel 205 are used to make the transfer platform 201 reciprocate on the first slide rail 206. During the movement of the transfer platform 201, the induction sheet 208 on it will pass through the positioning sensor 207 set next to the first slide rail 206, so as to accurately control the position of the transfer platform 201. When the transfer platform 201 stops accurately under the flip adsorption block 101, the two can be smoothly docked to complete the material transfer.

[0066] Pressure monitoring and buffering: During the docking process between the flipping adsorption block 101 and the transfer platform 201, the pressure sensor 209 on the transfer platform 201 monitors the pressure change when the two are in contact in real time to prevent damage to the material due to excessive pressure. At the same time, a compression spring 210 is also provided on the transfer platform 201 to provide a buffering effect during the docking process to ensure safe transfer of materials.

[0067] Guide mechanism: The first bracket 105 is installed on the guide column 211 by sliding, and is lifted and lowered smoothly under the action of the lifting cylinder 104, ensuring the accurate execution of the flipping action.

[0068] Vacuum control system: The vacuum pipeline 212 on the first bracket 105 is connected to the flip adsorption block 101, and the adsorption and release operations of the material to be processed are realized by controlling the on and off of the vacuum source.
