Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cover sheet feeding equipment, and in particular to a cover sheet feeding device. Background Art

[0002] In the electronic equipment manufacturing industry, the production and processing of cover plates is a very important link. Cover plates are usually rectangular in shape. In order to facilitate storage and transportation, these cover plates are often stacked up and down. This stacking method not only saves space, but also effectively protects the cover plates from damage during transportation.

[0003] During the production process, workers will use various mechanical equipment to cut, grind and polish the cover according to the specific design drawings and size requirements to ensure that it achieves the required accuracy and surface quality. The production and processing quality of the cover directly affects the performance and appearance of the final product, and is an important link that cannot be ignored in the manufacture of electronic equipment.

[0004] The cover plates need to be loaded before processing. In order to achieve accurate loading of the cover plates, a robot arm is currently commonly used to grab and position the cover plates to the specified position. However, since the cover plates are usually stored in stacks, this brings inconvenience to the robot arm's gripping. At the same time, manually moving the cover plates from the storage area to the processing station piece by piece is not only inefficient, but also increases the labor intensity of the staff, so improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to facilitate the loading of cover plates and improve production efficiency, the present application provides a cover plate loading device.

[0006] The cover plate feeding device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A cover plate feeding device comprises a frame, a placement plate, a translation assembly and a material suction assembly, wherein the placement plate is arranged on the frame, and a storage area is formed between the two, and the storage area is used for placing stacked cover plates;

[0008] The translation assembly is arranged on the frame, and the translation assembly includes a translation seat and a first driving member. The translation seat is located above the placement plate and is arranged to move in the horizontal direction. The first driving member is installed on the frame and connected to the translation seat. The first driving member is used to control the movement of the translation seat.

[0009] The suction assembly is arranged on the translation seat and is used to suck the cover plate at the storage area. The suction assembly includes a fixed frame, a suction cup and a second driving member. The fixed frame is lifted and arranged on the translation seat. The suction cup is arranged on the fixed frame and is used to suck the cover plate. The second driving member is connected to the fixed frame and is used to control the fixed frame to move up and down.

[0010] A support platform is provided on the frame. After the suction component sucks the cover plate, the translation component drives the suction component to move above the support platform, and the support platform is used for placing the cover plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, stacks of cover plates are placed in the storage area, waiting for loading. When loading, the second driving member is operated to control the fixing frame to move vertically downward, so that the suction cup is attached to and in contact with the cover plate, and the suction cup generates suction through vacuuming, so that the cover plate can be firmly sucked by the suction cup. Then the fixing frame moves vertically upward to stay away from the cover plate on the storage area.

[0012] Then the first driving member controls the translation seat to move horizontally, and the translation seat drives the entire suction assembly and the sucked cover plate to move together, and then the suction assembly removes the suction force on the cover plate, and transfers the cover plate to the support table for subsequent production and processing. The entire loading process is automated, reducing the labor intensity of personnel.

[0013] Preferably, the baffle is locked to the placement plate by a fastener, and the baffle is used to limit the cover plate in the storage area from falling out.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the fastener is a detachable object, which makes it easy to replace the baffle. At the same time, the baffle can block the cover plate to prevent the cover plate in the storage area from falling out.

[0015] Preferably, a guide rail is provided on the frame, the guide rail is arranged along the moving direction of the translation seat, and the translation seat is slidably connected to the guide rail.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rail can play a role of guiding and limiting, thereby improving the stability of the translation seat during movement.

[0017] Preferably, the first driving member is a first air cylinder or an oil cylinder, and the second driving member is a second air cylinder or an oil cylinder.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the first air cylinder or oil cylinder can be used to control the horizontal movement of the translation seat, and the second air cylinder or oil cylinder can be used to control the up and down movement of the fixed frame.

[0019] Preferably, a plurality of suction cups are provided on the fixing frame, and the suction cups are located on the same horizontal plane and are used together to adsorb the cover plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple suction cups jointly adsorb the cover plate, and the stability of the cover plate is improved through multi-point adsorption to prevent the cover plate from falling.

[0021] Preferably, it also includes a pushing assembly, which is arranged on the translation seat and is used to push the cover plate on the support platform; the pushing assembly includes a push plate and a third driving member, the push plate is lifted and arranged on the translation seat and is used to push the cover plate on the support platform, and the third driving member is connected to the push plate and is used to control the up and down movement of the push plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, after the suction assembly absorbs the cover plate, the first driving member controls the translation seat to move horizontally. At this time, the third driving member controls the push plate to move vertically downward, so that the push plate is against the cover plate on the support platform; as the translation seat moves, the push plate can push the cover plate on the support platform backward by a corresponding distance, thereby making room on the support platform for the cover plate on the suction assembly to be placed, and this reciprocating cycle is repeated to achieve continuous loading.

[0023] Preferably, it further comprises a positioning component, wherein the positioning component is arranged on the translation seat, the positioning component is located above the support platform, and is used for positioning the cover plate on the support platform.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, as the pusher assembly pushes the cover plate, the position of the cover plate may be offset. By adding a positioning assembly, the positioning assembly can position the cover plate on the support platform, thereby improving the stability of the cover plate when being pushed.

[0025] Preferably, the positioning assembly includes a bracket and a plurality of pressure wheels, the bracket is connected to the translation seat, and the pressure wheels are connected to the bracket and are used to press the cover plate onto the support platform.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the bracket is connected to the translation seat, and the translation seat can synchronously drive the bracket to move horizontally when moving. The existence of the pressure wheel can exert a downward pressure on the cover plate, thereby achieving the limit of the cover plate in the vertical direction.

[0027] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] (1) By setting up a translation component and a suction component, the cover plates are arranged in an orderly manner in the storage area, ready for loading. In the loading process, the second drive component is started to guide the fixed frame to descend vertically, and the suction cup is close to and in contact with the surface of the cover plate. Through vacuum extraction, the suction cup generates sufficient adsorption force to ensure that the cover plate is firmly adsorbed. After that, the fixed frame rises vertically and keeps a distance from the cover plate in the storage area; then, the first drive component starts to operate, causing the translation seat to move horizontally, moving with the suction component and the adsorbed cover plate. After reaching the target position, the suction component releases the adsorption of the cover plate, completes the transfer of the cover plate to the support table, and prepares for the subsequent production process. The automation of the entire loading process significantly reduces the intensity of manual labor.

[0029] (2) By setting up a pusher assembly, after the suction assembly absorbs the cover plate, the first driving member controls the translation seat to move horizontally. At this time, the third driving member controls the push plate to move vertically downward, so that the push plate rests on the cover plate on the support platform; as the translation seat moves, the push plate can push the cover plate on the support platform backward a corresponding distance, thereby making room on the support platform for the cover plate on the suction assembly to be placed, and this reciprocating cycle is repeated to achieve continuous loading.

[0030] (3) By setting a positioning component, the positioning component can play a positioning role on the cover plate on the support platform, thereby improving the stability of the cover plate when it is pushed by the pushing component. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] The present application embodiment discloses a cover plate feeding device. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cover plate feeding device includes a frame 1, a placement plate 2, a translation assembly 3 and a suction assembly 4. The frame 1 is installed on the ground, the placement plate 2 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and a storage area 5 is formed between the two, and the storage area 5 is used to place the piled cover plates. In some embodiments, a baffle 6 is detachably connected to one side of the edge of the placement plate 2, and the baffle 6 is vertically arranged and used to block the cover plates in the storage area 5 to prevent the cover plates from falling out. The baffle 6 is locked on the placement plate 2 by a fastener, and the fastener is a fastening bolt or a fastening screw.

[0041] The translation assembly 3 is mounted on the frame 1. The translation assembly 3 includes a translation seat 31 and a first driving member 32. The translation seat 31 is located above the placement plate 2 and is arranged to move in the horizontal direction. The first driving member 32 is mounted on the frame 1 and is connected to the translation seat 31. The first driving member 32 is used to control the horizontal movement of the translation seat 31. In this embodiment, the first driving member 32 is a first air cylinder or an oil cylinder. Among them, a guide rail 7 is also fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The guide rail 7 is arranged along the moving direction of the translation seat 31, and the translation seat 31 is slidably connected to the guide rail 7. The guide rail 7 can play a role of guiding and limiting, so as to improve the stability of the translation seat 31 when moving.

[0042] The suction assembly 4 is mounted on the translation seat 31 and is used to suck the cover plate at the storage area 5. The suction assembly 4 includes a fixed frame 41, a suction cup 42 and a second driving member 43. The fixed frame 41 is raised and lowered on the translation seat 31. The suction cup 42 is mounted on the fixed frame 41 and is used to suck the cover plate. As shown in the figure, a plurality of suction cups 42 are mounted on the fixed frame 41. Each suction cup 42 is on the same horizontal plane and is used together to suck the cover plate. The stability of the cover plate is improved by multi-point suction to prevent the cover plate from falling. The second driving member 43 is connected to the fixed frame 41 and is used to control the up and down movement of the fixed frame 41. In this embodiment, the second driving member 43 is a second air cylinder or an oil cylinder.

[0043] A support platform 10 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. After the suction assembly 4 sucks the cover plate, the translation assembly 3 drives the suction assembly 4 to move above the plane where the support platform 10 is located. The support platform 10 is used for placing the cover plate.

[0044] The stacked cover plates are placed in the storage area 5, waiting for loading. When loading, the second driving member 43 is operated to control the fixing frame 41 to move vertically downward, so that the suction cup 42 is attached to and in contact with the cover plate, and the suction cup 42 generates suction by vacuuming, so that the cover plate can be firmly sucked by the suction cup 42. Then the fixing frame 41 moves vertically upward to be away from the cover plate on the storage area 5.

[0045] Then the first driving member 32 controls the translation seat 31 to move in the horizontal direction, and the translation seat 31 drives the entire suction assembly 4 and the sucked cover plate to move together, and then the suction assembly 4 removes the suction force on the cover plate, and transfers the cover plate to the support table 10 for subsequent production and processing. The entire loading process is automated, and the labor intensity of personnel is reduced.

[0046] Combination Figure 3Specifically, a pusher assembly 8 is also installed on the translation seat 31, and the pusher assembly 8 is used to push the cover plate on the support platform 10. The pusher assembly 8 includes a push plate 81 and a third driving member 82. The push plate 81 is lifted and lowered on the translation seat 31, and is used to push the cover plate on the support platform 10. The moving direction of the push plate 81 is parallel to the moving direction of the fixed frame 41. The third driving member 82 is connected to the push plate 81 and is used to control the push plate 81 to move up and down. The third driving member 82 is a third cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0047] When the suction assembly 4 successfully absorbs the cover plate, the first driving member 32 guides the translation seat 31 to move horizontally. At the same time, the third driving member 82 causes the push plate 81 to move vertically downward to ensure that the push plate 81 is in close contact with the cover plate on the support platform 10. As the translation seat 31 moves further, the push plate 81 pushes the cover plate on the support platform 10 backward by a specified distance, thereby making room for the cover plate on the suction assembly 4 to be placed. This process is repeated to ensure continuous loading operation.

[0048] In addition, a positioning assembly 9 is also installed on the translation seat 31. The positioning assembly 9 is located above the support platform 10 and is used to position the cover plate on the support platform 10. In the process of the push assembly 8 pushing the cover plate, the problem of the cover plate position offset may occur. By introducing the positioning assembly 9, the cover plate on the support platform 10 can be effectively and accurately positioned, thereby enhancing the stability of the cover plate when being pushed. The positioning assembly 9 includes a bracket 91 and a plurality of pressure wheels 92. The bracket 91 is connected to the translation seat 31. The pressure wheels 92 are fixedly connected to the bracket 91 and are used to press the cover plate onto the support platform 10. The pressure wheels 92 are distributed at intervals on the bracket 91. When moving, the translation seat 31 can synchronously drive the bracket 91 to move horizontally. The pressure wheels 92 are in contact with the cover plate. The presence of the pressure wheels 92 can exert a downward pressure on the cover plate, thereby achieving the limit of the cover plate in the vertical direction.

[0049] The implementation principle of a cover plate feeding device in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the cover plates are arranged in order in the storage area 5, ready for loading. In the loading process, the second driving member 43 is activated to guide the fixing frame 41 to descend vertically, and the suction cup 42 is close to and in contact with the surface of the cover plate. Through vacuum extraction, the suction cup 42 generates sufficient adsorption force to ensure that the cover plate is firmly adsorbed. After that, the fixing frame 41 rises vertically and keeps a distance from the cover plate in the storage area 5.

[0050] Then, the first driving member 32 starts to operate, causing the translation seat 31 to move in the horizontal direction, carrying the suction assembly 4 and the adsorbed cover plate. After reaching the target position, the suction assembly 4 releases the adsorption of the cover plate, completing the transfer of the cover plate to the support table 10, and preparing for the subsequent production process. The automation of the entire loading process significantly reduces the intensity of manual labor.

[0051] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
