[0038] See also Figures 1 to 5 , a material unloading device 100 provided in an embodiment of the utility model is used to transfer materials 200, including a frame 110, a transmission mechanism 120, a placement table 130, a manipulator 140 and a material transport trolley 150.

[0039] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5, wherein the frame 110 includes a plurality of material discharge positions 111, which are arranged separately; a transmission mechanism 120 is arranged on the frame 110 for conveying the material 200; a plurality of placement tables 130 are arranged on the frame 110, and are arranged separately from each other, and are driven to move by the transmission mechanism 120, each placement table 130 is used to carry the material 200, and the placement tables 130 correspond to the material discharge positions 111 one by one, and the placement tables 130 include a base plate 131, a guide frame body 132 and a limit frame body arranged on the base plate 131 133, the guide frame 132 is used to guide the placement of the material 200, and the limit frame 133 is used to limit the position of the material; multiple manipulators 140 are arranged on the frame 110, and a manipulator 140 is correspondingly provided at a material unloading position 111, and the manipulator 140 is used to transfer the material 200 on the placement table 130; each material unloading position 111 is correspondingly provided with a material transport trolley 150, and the material transport trolley 150 is used to transport the material 200 transferred from the placement table 130 by the manipulator 140.

[0040] The above-mentioned unloading equipment 100 drives the placement table 130 to move on the frame 110 through the driving mechanism 120, so that the placement table 130 drives the material 200 to move along the length direction of the frame 110, wherein the placement table 130 includes a guide frame body 132 and a limit frame body 133, so that it is convenient to stack multiple materials 200 on one placement table 130 at the same time. When the placement table 130 moves to the position of the manipulator 140 at the corresponding unloading position 111, multiple manipulators 140 unload the materials on the multiple placement tables 130 onto the material transport cart 150, and finally the material transport cart 150 transports them to the assembly location, thereby realizing simultaneous unloading of materials at multiple locations, avoiding waiting time, and improving production efficiency.

[0041] Among them, the material 200 in this embodiment is a car part. Since the car parts have a certain weight after processing, it is laborious to transport them, and manual unloading is inefficient, so automated equipment is used to unload the parts.

[0042] Among them, the driving mechanism in this embodiment includes a driving motor and a transmission chain. The driving motor drives the transmission chain to move. The placement table 130 is connected to the transmission chain, so that the placement table 130 is driven by the transmission chain to move along the length direction of the frame 110.

[0043] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment of the utility model, the frame 110 includes a base frame 112 and a support frame 113. The driving mechanism 120 is connected to the base frame 112. The support frame 113 is mounted on the top of the base frame 112 to support the manipulator 140. Thus, by setting the support frame 113, the manipulator 140 is supported above the base frame 112, so that the layout of the entire unloading equipment 100 is more compact, occupies less space, and saves land costs.

[0044] It can be understood that space is reserved between the support frame 113 and the base frame 112 for the material 200 to pass through. When the materials move to the preset positions on the frame 110, they are transferred from the placement table 130 by the corresponding manipulator 140 and transferred to the material transport cart 150, and finally transported away by the material transport cart 150.

[0045] It can be understood that in order to improve the handling efficiency, the unloading equipment 100 in this embodiment also includes an auxiliary frame 160 and multiple discharge frames 170. The auxiliary frame 160 is arranged on one side of the frame 110 along the length direction of the frame 110, and is used to support multiple discharge frames 170. A discharge frame 170 is correspondingly provided at each unloading position 111. The discharge frame 170 is used to carry the material 200 transferred by the manipulator 140 and can be transported away by the material transport cart 150. Therefore, by setting the discharge frame 170, multiple materials 200 can be carried. When the material 200 reaches a certain amount in the discharge frame 170, the discharge frame 170 is transported away by the material transport cart 150. In this way, the unloading efficiency can be improved.

[0046] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment of the utility model, the guide frame 132 includes a first frame 1321 and a plurality of second frames 1322. The first frame 1321 is connected to the substrate 131, and the plurality of second frames 1322 are respectively arranged at the corners of the first frame 1321. When the robot 140 transfers the material 200, the material 200 is placed on the substrate 131 and the first frame 1321 along the positions defined by the plurality of second frames 1322, thereby preventing the material 200 from shaking during the transmission process, and being able to stack a plurality of materials on the placement table 130 at the same time, thereby improving the material unloading efficiency.

[0047] The base plate 131 and the first frame 1321 in this embodiment are both square in shape. In this embodiment, four second frames 1322 are included, and a second frame 1322 is disposed at a corner of each first frame 1321 .

[0048] Among them, in order to facilitate the transfer of materials to the placement table 130, the second frame 1322 in this embodiment includes a connecting portion 1323 and a guiding portion 1324. The connecting portion 1323 extends upward in a direction away from the center of the substrate 131 and is connected to the first frame 1321. The guiding portion 1324 is connected to the connecting portion 1323 and is bent in a direction away from the center of the substrate 131, so that the multiple guiding portions 1324 of the multiple second frames 1322 have a guiding function, which facilitates the transfer of materials to the placement table 130.

[0049] It can be understood that in order to protect the material and prevent the hard material from colliding with the hard placement table 130 and causing damage to the material, in this embodiment, a buffer layer is also provided on the substrate 131, the first frame 1321 and each second frame 1822, so as to provide buffer protection for the material and prevent damage caused by hard collision. The buffer layer can be made of materials such as rubber and sponge.

[0050] In addition, in order to facilitate the positioning of the material when it is placed on the placement table and to facilitate the robot 140 to grab it, the limiting frame 133 in this embodiment includes a connecting rod 1331 and a blocking frame 1332. The connecting rod 1331 is connected to the first frame 1321, and the blocking frame 1332 is connected to the connecting rod 1331 and extends in the vertical direction. The blocking frame 1332 is trapezoidal, so that it is compatible with the notch formed on the parts, so that the blocking frame 1332 can extend into the notch of the parts to limit the placement position of the parts, so that when multiple materials are stacked on the placement table 130, they can be stacked in an orderly manner from top to bottom. In this way, it is convenient for the subsequent robot 140 to transfer multiple materials to the material discharge frame 170 at the same time.

[0051] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the utility model, in order to facilitate the placement table 130 to stay at the position where the corresponding manipulator 140 is located, the unloading equipment 100 also includes a plurality of limit mechanisms 180, and the plurality of limit mechanisms 180 are arranged on the frame 110. The limit mechanisms 180 include a position sensor 181 and a blocking member 182. The position sensor 181 is used to sense the position of the placement table 130, and the blocking member 182 is used to prevent the placement table 130 from continuing to move. When the position sensor 181 senses that the placement table 130 has reached the corresponding position, the blocking member 182 rises to block the placement table 130, so that the placement table 130 stops at the corresponding position to facilitate the manipulator 140 to unload.

[0052] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment of the utility model, since the material has a certain size and shape, in order to facilitate the transfer of the material 200 from the placement table 130, the manipulator 140 in this embodiment includes a mechanical arm 141, two relatively arranged grippers 142 and two driving members (not shown in the figure), each gripper 142 is slidably connected relative to the mechanical arm 141, and each is driven by a driving member to slide relative to the mechanical arm 141, so that when it is necessary to grab the material, the two driving members drive the two grippers 142 to approach each other, and when it is necessary to release the material, the two driving members drive the two grippers 142 away from each other to achieve the release of the material.

[0053] It can be understood that the driving member in this embodiment is a hydraulic cylinder, so as to facilitate driving the gripper 142 to slide in a straight line direction.

[0054] Among them, the gripper 142 in this embodiment includes a connecting frame 1421 and a plurality of lifting rods 1422 arranged on the connecting frame 1421. The connecting frame 1421 is slidably connected relative to the mechanical arm 141. The plurality of lifting rods 1422 are respectively arranged at the corners of the connecting frame 1421. The free end of the lifting rod 1422 is provided with a protrusion 1423 toward the axial direction of the mechanical arm 141. When it is necessary to grab the material, the material is lifted by pressing the protrusion 1423 against the material 200.

[0055] In addition, in order to protect the mechanical components and personnel within the entire equipment, the unloading equipment in this embodiment may also include a protective net, which is arranged outside the frame 110 and the manipulator 140, thereby protecting components such as the frame 110, the transmission mechanism 120 and the manipulator 140, while avoiding harm to the personnel.

[0056] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the utility model. In addition, the embodiments of the utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
