DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0035] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a blade conveying and assembly platform includes: a frame 10, a mold conveyor, a blade conveyor and a blade transporter.
[0036] A conveying mechanism 1002 that moves back and forth along the X-axis direction is fixedly connected to the frame 10. The mold conveyor is fixedly connected to the conveying mechanism 1002 and is driven by the conveying mechanism. In order to achieve accurate conveying of the mold conveyor, in this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1002 is a ball screw nut pair transmission mechanism.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the mold conveyor includes a tray 1003, and the tray 1003 has a bracket for placing the mold; when the blade is placed in the mold cavity, if the blade is lowered to the inner bottom of the mold cavity by self-descent, the blade is easy to deflect, causing the blade to be stuck in the middle of the cavity. In order to avoid the occurrence of this problem, a lifting cylinder 1005 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tray 1003, and a plurality of supporting rods 1004 are fixedly connected to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 1005. The supporting rods 1004 are inserted into the mold cavity after passing through the bracket along the Z-axis direction and are used to support the blade placed in the mold cavity by the manipulator 1006. The supporting rods 1004 slowly descend as the number of blades increases, that is, the supporting rods 1004 support the blades and slowly descend, so as to avoid the blades from getting stuck.
[0038] The blade conveyor includes a plurality of vibration plates for conveying blades piece by piece. The vibration plates are fixedly connected to the frame 10, and the conveying direction of the vibration plates is the Y-axis direction.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, a blade transporter is arranged at the outlet of each vibration plate, and the blade transporter has a robot 1006 for transporting the blade from the vibration plate to the cavity of the mold on the tray, and the robot 1006 has the function of moving along the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction.
[0040] In this embodiment, the robot 1006 has a plurality of vacuum suction cups for adsorbing the blades. The robot with a dual-axis moving function used in this embodiment is a common product in the art.
[0041] In this embodiment, in order to protect the blade conveyor and the blade transporter, a housing 1001 covering the blade conveyor and the blade transporter is fixedly connected to the frame 10. A control panel 1007 is fixedly connected to the housing 1001.
[0042] like Figure 5-8 The figure shows the detailed structure of the blade conveyor, wherein the vibration plate comprises: a vibration conveying part 1, a feeding part 3, a pushing part and a limiting part.
[0043] A linear feeder 2 is connected to the bottom of the vibrating conveying part 1, and four parallel straight grooves 11 are provided on the top of the vibrating conveying part 1 for conveying blades; the ends of the straight grooves 11 are closed to prevent the blades from being separated from the straight grooves 11 when conveyed to the ends of the straight grooves 11.
[0044] The feed section 3 has four storage troughs 31 for storing thin sheet materials. Each straight slot 11 is provided with a storage trough 31 at the front end, and the axial direction of the storage trough 31 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the straight slot 11. Of course, the capacity of the storage trough 31 is relatively small, and can only store 2 to 30 blades. For the high-speed operation of the device, this storage capacity cannot meet the production needs. Therefore, in this embodiment, a silo 4 for storing blades is inserted into the storage trough 31, and the blades can move axially along the silo 4. The height of the silo 4 is usually designed to be 750mm, and more than 700 blades can be stored inside it, which can meet the supply of the device for 1-2 hours of operation.
[0045] In order to facilitate the installation of blades in the silo 4, a liftable push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the straight groove below the storage trough 31, and a third cylinder 91 for driving the push rod 9 to rise and fall is fixedly connected below the straight groove 11. When the push rod 9 is lowered to the bottom, it does not hinder the movement of the blade in the straight groove 11. When the push rod 9 is raised to the top, the push rod 9 is inserted into the silo 4, and then the blade is dropped into the silo 4. At the same time, the push rod 9 supports the blade and slowly descends; to avoid the blade from deflecting when entering the silo 4 and causing the silo 4 to get stuck when there is no push rod 9.
[0046] The limiting part includes a plurality of limiting rods 7 with lifting functions, and a first cylinder 71 driving the limiting rod 7 to lift is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rear end of the straight groove 11. The limiting rods 7 are arranged at intervals at the inner rear end of the straight groove 11, and the rear end of each straight groove 11 has three limiting rods 7 distributed at intervals (if the end of the straight groove is not closed, four limiting rods are required). When the limiting rod 7 is lowered to the bottom, the top of the limiting rod 7 is located below the bottom surface of the straight groove (does not hinder the blade from moving along the straight groove). When the limiting rod is raised to the top, the limiting rod 7 limits the blade from continuing to move along the straight groove 11.
[0047] In the same straight groove 11, a first sensor 12 is installed on the bottom surface of the straight groove between two adjacent limit rods 7, and the first sensor 12 is used to detect whether a blade exists between the two limit rods 7. Of course, in this embodiment, the end of the straight groove 11 is closed, so the first sensor 12 is also arranged between the end of the straight groove 11 and the adjacent limit rod 7.
[0048] The limit rod 7 on the straight groove 11 is in the state of being dropped to the bottom in the initial state, and cannot hinder the movement of the blade along the straight groove; the first sensor 12 is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the straight groove and is not exposed from the inner bottom surface of the straight groove. When the first sensor 12 detects the presence of a blade above it, the limit rods at both ends of the first sensor 12 rise, which not only limits the movement of the blade at this location by the two limit rods (if the end of the straight groove is closed, then it is the end of the straight groove and the adjacent limit rod), but also prevents subsequent blades from entering this area, ensuring that there is one and only one blade between two adjacent limit rods.
[0049] The pusher is fixedly connected to the front end of the straight groove, and is used to push the blade at the bottom of the storage groove 31 into the straight groove. The pusher includes a second cylinder 5 and a pusher block 51 fixedly connected to the piston rod of the second cylinder. The pusher block 51 is used to push the blade away from the bottom of the storage groove and into the straight groove. When the pusher block is pushed out, the blade at the bottom of the storage groove can be pushed into the straight groove. When the pusher block is retracted, the space at the bottom of the storage groove is avoided, and the blade can fall normally from the bottom of the storage groove.
[0050] In order to control the operation timing of the second cylinder 5, that is, when the push block should be pushed out and when the push block should be retracted, a detection part 6 is fixedly connected to the vibrating conveying part behind the feeding part. The pushing part pushes the blade into the straight groove below the detection part 6. The detection part 6 has second sensors 61 equal to the number of the straight grooves. The inner bottom surface of the straight groove there is a groove for placing the second sensor 61. The second sensor 61 is not exposed from the inner bottom surface of the straight groove. When the second sensor detects that there is no blade above it, the second cylinder drives the push block to operate and push the blade out from the bottom of the storage trough into the straight groove, and then the second cylinder immediately drives the push block to retract.
[0051] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the blade from jumping out of the straight groove due to excessive amplitude during the straight groove movement, and from being stuck in the straight groove due to excessive vibration amplitude, a fixing frame 8 is fixedly connected above the straight groove section between the detection part and the limiting part, and a limiting rod 81 with a limiting function is connected to the fixing frame 8 in a lifting manner to limit the moving blade. The limiting rod 81 is connected to the inner upper part of the straight groove 11 in a lifting manner, and the gap between the bottom surface of the limiting rod 81 and the inner bottom surface of the straight groove is slightly larger than the thickness of the blade.
[0052] When the 16 blades at the end of the straight groove have arrived at the predetermined position, a robot transfers the 16 blades to the mold of the sintered blade head, and then the limit rod retracts to continue the process of conveying the blades to the predetermined position.
[0053] The working process of this blade conveyor is as follows:
[0054] Add materials, the push rod rises, and then add blades to the hopper until the hopper is full of blades. During the blade loading process, the push rod supports the blades and slowly descends.
[0055] During feeding, before the blade enters the straight groove, the limit rods are in a retracted state and do not hinder the blade from moving in the straight groove; when the second sensor detects that there is no blade above it, the second cylinder at the front end of the straight groove quickly pushes the push block to push the blade at the bottom of the storage trough into the straight groove, and the blade moves along the straight groove under the vibration of the linear feeder.
[0056] When the blade moves to between two adjacent limiting rods, when the first sensor there detects the presence of the blade above it, the limiting rods at both ends of the first sensor rise.
[0057] When all 16 blades are delivered to the predetermined positions, the robot transfers the 16 blades to the mold of the sintered blade head, and then the limit rod retracts to continue the process of delivering the blades to the predetermined positions.
[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
