[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic loading device for flat plate components, which can improve the loading efficiency of flat plate components and enhance the practicality and production safety of the automatic loading device. The automatic loading device for flat plate components includes a base assembly 1, a support frame 2, a conveying assembly 3, a first material taking assembly 4 and a second material taking assembly 5.

[0048] Among them, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The base assembly 1 includes at least one guide rail 11, and the guide rail 11 is arranged on the bearing platform. The support frame 2 is movably arranged on the guide rail 11 along the first direction, and the conveying assembly 3 is arranged on the support frame 2. The conveying assembly 3 is configured to convey the flat plate component to be transferred to the next production station along the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The first material picking assembly 4 and the second material picking assembly 5 are respectively arranged at both ends of the support frame 2 along the first direction; the first material picking assembly 4 and the second material picking assembly 5 both include a first driving member 41, a transmission mechanism 42 and a grabbing mechanism 43, and the grabbing mechanism 43 is rotatably connected to the support frame 2. The output end of the first driving member 41 is transmission-connected to the grabbing mechanism 43 through the transmission mechanism 42, and is used to drive the grabbing mechanism 43 to rotate and switch between the first position and the second position. When the grabbing mechanism 43 rotates to the first position, it is configured to grab the flat plate component to be transferred, and when the grabbing mechanism 43 rotates to the second position, it is configured to release the flat plate component to be transferred to the conveying assembly 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, the carrying platform can be the floor of a production workshop or a production platform, etc. The first direction is Figure 1 The left and right directions ( Figure 3 The up and down directions in the graph are Figure 2 and Figure 3 Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two guide rails 11 are arranged at intervals along the second direction. Correspondingly, two sliding beams are arranged at the bottom of the support frame 2. The two sliding beams are slidingly connected with the two guide rails 11 one by one. For example, a sliding groove is recessed on the sliding beam, and the guide rail 11 is inserted into the sliding groove and slides with the sliding groove.

[0050] Furthermore, a linear drive mechanism is provided on the support frame 2 or the bearing platform, and the linear drive mechanism is used to drive the support frame 2 to move along the guide rail 11. The linear drive mechanism can be a hydraulic cylinder, an air cylinder, etc., and the output rod of the air cylinder (hydraulic cylinder) is connected to the support frame 2 to drive the support frame 2 to move linearly. Alternatively, the linear drive mechanism can also include a rotating motor fixed to the support frame 2, the output end of the rotating motor is connected to a gear, a rack is provided on the guide rail 11, the gear is meshed with the rack, the rotating motor drives the gear to rotate, and the support frame 2 moves linearly along the guide rail 11 under the meshing transmission action of the gear and the rack.

[0051] The automatic loading device for flat plate components provided in this embodiment has the first and second loading assemblies 4 and 5 both in the second position in the initial state. When grabbing the flat plate component to be transferred, the support frame 2 is first driven to move relative to the guide rail 11 along the first direction to approach the loading station (such as the loading station) of the flat plate component. Figure 4As shown), after the support frame 2 moves into position, the first driving member 41 of the first material picking component 4 (the second material picking component 5) is controlled to start, so that the first driving member 41 drives the grabbing mechanism 43 to rotate from the second position to the first position through the transmission mechanism 42. At this time, the grabbing mechanism 43 of the first material picking component 4 (the second material picking component 5) is controlled to grab the flat plate component. After the grabbing is stable, the first driving member 41 is controlled again to drive the grabbing mechanism 43 to rotate from the first position to the second position through the transmission mechanism 42, so that the flat plate component falls on the conveying component 3, and then the grabbing mechanism 43 is controlled to release the flat plate component, and the conveying component 3 is controlled to convey the flat plate component to the next processing station along the second direction. In this way, the automatic loading of the flat plate component is realized, the loading efficiency of the flat plate component can be improved, and the working safety is good. The arrangement of the first material picking component 4 and the second material picking component 5 enables the two ends of the support frame 2 along the first direction to be alternately loaded, which can further improve the loading efficiency of the flat plate component and improve the flexibility of use of the automatic loading device.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first position is when the grabbing mechanism 43 is rotated to the vertical direction (eg Figure 1 The first material taking assembly 4 in the grabbing mechanism 43), at this time, the grabbing mechanism 43 is parallel to the plate member to be transferred, and the second position, that is, the grabbing mechanism 43 is rotated to the horizontal direction (such as Figure 3 The grabbing mechanism 43 of the second material taking assembly 5 is used, and the flat plate component is horizontally placed on the conveying assembly 3. For example, the flat plate component is the appearance glass of household appliances.

[0053] In other embodiments, if the plate member to be transferred is placed at an angle, the gripping mechanism 43 is rotated to an angle of inclination parallel to the plate member in the first position.

[0054] Optionally, the transmission mechanism 42 includes a drive shaft, a first connecting rod 421 and a second connecting rod 422. The drive shaft is connected to the output end of the first driving member 41. Figure 1 and Figure 3 One end of the first connecting rod 421 is fixedly connected to the driving shaft, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 422. The end of the second connecting rod 422 away from the first connecting rod 421 is hinged to the grasping mechanism 43. Figure 1In the orientation, the grabbing mechanism 43 is in the first position, when the first driving member 41 drives the driving shaft to rotate in the counterclockwise direction, the first connecting rod 421 swings along with the driving shaft in the counterclockwise direction, and at the same time, the first connecting rod 421 drives the second connecting rod 422 to pull the grabbing mechanism 43 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction until the grabbing mechanism 43 rotates to the horizontal direction (the second position). When the grabbing mechanism 43 is in the second position, when the first driving member 41 drives the driving shaft to rotate in the clockwise direction, the first connecting rod 421 swings along with the driving shaft in the clockwise direction, and at the same time, the first connecting rod 421 drives the second connecting rod 422 to push the grabbing mechanism 43 to rotate in the clockwise direction until the grabbing mechanism 43 rotates to the vertical direction (the first position). The driving shaft, the first connecting rod 421, the second connecting rod 422 and the grabbing mechanism 43 form a four-bar linkage, so that the grabbing mechanism 43 is more stable in the process of driving the flat plate component to move, and can prevent the flat plate component from being damaged. During the relative rotation of the first connecting rod 421 and the second connecting rod 422 , the included angle between the two is greater than 0° and less than 180°, so as to ensure that the first connecting rod 421 can push or pull the grabbing mechanism 43 to rotate through the second connecting rod 422 .

[0055] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The gripping mechanism 43 includes a swing arm 431, a lifting arm 432 and an adsorption component 433. The swing arm 431 is rotatably connected to the support frame 2, the transmission mechanism 42 is hinged to the swing arm 431, the lifting arm 432 is arranged in parallel with the swing arm 431 and can move relative to the swing arm 431 along its extension direction, and the adsorption component 433 is arranged on the lifting arm 432 to adsorb the flat plate component to be transferred. When the swing arm 431 swings to the first position, the support frame 2 is driven to drive the swing arm 431 to continue to approach the flat plate component to be transferred until the adsorption component 433 is close to the flat plate component, and then the adsorption component 433 is controlled to adsorb the flat plate component firmly, and then the lifting arm 432 is controlled to move upward relative to the swing arm 431 (refer to Figure 1 The support frame 2 is then controlled to move a certain distance away from the loading station 100, and the swing arm 431 is controlled to swing in the counterclockwise direction. At the same time, the support frame 2 continues to move away from the loading station 100 until the swing arm 431 swings to the second position. Finally, the adsorption component 433 is controlled to release the flat plate component to the conveying component 3, and the flat plate component is moved to the next production station through the conveying component 3. The setting of the lifting arm 432 allows the flat plate component to be lifted up and then leveled, preventing the flat plate component from being damaged by collision during the swinging process. The flat plate component is transferred by adsorption, and the movement is stable, which can prevent the flat plate component from accidentally falling and being damaged.

[0056] Further, see Figure 3A vacuum pump 44 is installed on the support frame 2, and the adsorption component 433 is exemplified as a suction cup. The vacuum pump 44 is connected to the suction cup through a pipeline 441, and a control valve 442 is provided on the pipeline 441. The control valve 442 can control the suction cup to evacuate and break the vacuum to grasp and release the flat component. The vacuum adsorption and release method is simple to control, and can ensure that the flat component is grasped firmly without damaging the flat component.

[0057] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a plurality of adsorption components 433 are provided on the lifting arm 432, and the installation position of each adsorption component 433 is adjustable. By adjusting the installation position of the adsorption component 433, it is possible to adapt to flat plate components of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the automatic feeding device. Exemplarily, a bar hole is provided on the lifting arm 432, and the adsorption component 433 is adjustably installed in the bar hole. In this embodiment, three adsorption components 433 are installed on the lifting arm 432. In other embodiments, the number of adsorption components 433 can be adaptively increased or decreased according to factors such as the size and weight of the flat plate component.

The provision of the second driving member 434 realizes the electric control of the lifting arm 432, which is beneficial to the automatic control of the automatic feeding device. Exemplarily, the second driving member 434 is a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder, etc., which is provided on the swing arm 431, and its output rod is connected to the lifting arm 432, and can drive the lifting arm 432 to move parallel to the swing arm 431.

[0060] Further, see Figure 1 The lifting arm 432 is connected to the swing arm 431 through a connecting arm 435. Specifically, the connecting arm 435 is hinged to the swing arm 431 and the lifting arm 432, so that the lifting arm 432 can move parallel to the swing arm 431. Exemplarily, a connecting arm 435 is provided at each end of the swing arm 431 to improve the movement stability of the lifting arm 432.

[0061] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The conveying assembly 3 includes a third driving member and a plurality of conveying shafts 31 spaced apart along the second direction. The third driving member is used to drive the plurality of conveying shafts 31 to rotate. A plurality of rolling members 32 are arranged on each conveying shaft 31 along the first direction. The conveying shaft 31 can drive the plurality of rolling members 32 to rotate, and the plate member to be transferred is in rolling contact with the plurality of rolling members 32. After the swing arm 431 rotates to the second position and the adsorption component 433 releases the plate member, the third driving member is controlled to start so that the plurality of conveying shafts 31 rotate synchronously, and the plurality of rolling members 32 drive the plate member to move along the second direction during the rotation of the conveying shaft 31. Exemplarily, the third driving member may include a rotating motor and a belt transmission member or a gear transmission member.

Accordingly, each swing arm 431 is connected to a corresponding lifting arm 432. Each lifting arm 432 is provided with a plurality of adsorption components 433. In this way, the flat plate component has multiple stress points in a larger area, which can improve the adsorption firmness of the flat plate component, avoid stress concentration, and prevent damage to the flat plate component. The plurality of swing arms 431 of the first material picking component 4 and the plurality of swing arms 431 of the second material picking component 5 are staggered in sequence in the second direction.

With such a configuration, the plurality of swing arms 431 of the first material picking component 4, the plurality of swing arms 431 of the second material picking component 5, and the plurality of conveying shafts 31 do not interfere with each other, which can ensure that the transfer of the flat plate component is completed smoothly. Furthermore, after the swing arm 431 swings to the second position and the adsorption component 433 releases the flat member, the swing arm 431 can continue to drive the adsorption component 433 to move downward a certain distance, so that the adsorption component 433 is completely separated from the flat member, preventing the adsorption component 433 from interfering with the movement of the flat member along the second direction.

[0065] Optionally, the base assembly 1 further includes a support foot 12 disposed on the guide rail 11, the support height of the support foot 12 is adjustable, and the support foot 12 is supported on the load-bearing platform.

[0067] Furthermore, the linear drive mechanism for driving the support frame 2 to move is communicatively connected with the control computer board, so that the control computer board controls the movement of the support frame 2 according to the control program.

[0068] Furthermore, a display screen can be provided on the control box 6, and the display screen is communicatively connected with the control computer board for displaying the working status of the first material taking component 4, the second material taking component 5 and the conveying component 3 in real time, so as to facilitate the staff to observe whether the working status is normal.
