[0002] After the die-cast workpieces are formed, they are usually arranged and stacked in layers according to the cargo flow and requirements on the production line. In order to prevent direct contact and collision between workpieces at different levels, which may cause slip marks, deformation or damage to the workpieces, partitions are usually placed between each layer of workpieces to separate them. When one layer of workpieces is full, a tray is placed to continue placing the workpieces on the next layer.

[0041] See also Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application proposes a partition placement device 100, including a truss 10, a placement mechanism 20, a horizontal drive mechanism 30 and a vertical drive mechanism 40.

[0042] The truss 10 is a structure such as a bracket or a frame.

[0043] The placing mechanism 20 is used for sucking the partition and placing the partition to a predetermined position. The placing mechanism 20 is movably connected to the truss 10 . The placing mechanism 20 includes a main body 21 and a suction cup 22 connected to the main body 21 .

[0044] The placing mechanism 20 is a mechanism for placing the partitions, and the placing mechanism 20 is used to place the partitions from the partition placing position to the predetermined position.

[0045] The predetermined position is a pre-set position where a partition needs to be placed and the die-cast workpiece is placed on the partition. The predetermined position includes a horizontal position and a vertical position. The horizontal position is a position in the horizontal direction. When stacking workpieces, multiple workpieces are usually placed in layers at a horizontal position until the height of the workpieces stacked at this position reaches a preset height, and then the workpieces are placed at another horizontal position, and the workpieces at the previous horizontal position are removed by a forklift or an automatic guided vehicle. Since the workpieces need to be placed on the partitions, there is a height difference between two adjacent partitions. Therefore, the vertical position corresponding to each partition is usually different.

[0046] The placing mechanism 20 is movably connected to the truss 10 , and the placing mechanism 20 can move in a horizontal direction or a vertical direction relative to the truss 10 .

[0047] The placing mechanism 20 includes a main body 21 and a suction cup 22. The main body 21 is a part of the placing mechanism 20. The suction cup 22 is a structure that forms a vacuum by extracting air, thereby adsorbing the partition, and the suction cup 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the main body 21.

[0048] The horizontal driving mechanism 30 can move toward or away from a predetermined position along a horizontal direction relative to the truss 10 , and the horizontal driving mechanism 30 is connected to the main body 21 .

[0049] Exemplarily, the horizontal driving mechanism 30 includes a motor and a steel wire rope, the motor is connected to the main body 21, one end of the steel wire rope is connected to the output end of the motor, and the other end of the steel wire rope is connected to the main body 21. During driving, the steel wire rope is driven to move by the rotation of the motor, and the steel wire rope drives the main body 21 to move in the horizontal direction relative to the truss 10.

When driving, the sprocket is driven to rotate by the rotation of the sprocket motor, the sprocket drives the chain meshed therewith to move, and the chain drives the main body 21 to move in the horizontal direction relative to the truss 10.

[0051] Exemplarily, the horizontal driving mechanism 30 is a synchronous belt transmission mechanism, including a pulley motor, a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt, the pulley motor is connected to the main body 21, the synchronous pulley is connected to the output end of the pulley motor, one end of the synchronous belt is meshed with the synchronous pulley, and the other end of the synchronous belt is connected to the main body 21. During driving, the synchronous pulley is driven to rotate by the rotation of the pulley motor, the synchronous pulley drives the meshed synchronous belt to move, and the synchronous belt drives the main body 21 to move in the horizontal direction relative to the truss 10.

[0052] The vertical driving mechanism 40 is used to drive the main body 21 to move in a vertical direction relative to the truss 10 .

[0053] The output end of the vertical driving mechanism 40 is connected to the main body 21 , and can drive the main body 21 to move in the vertical direction relative to the truss 10 during operation.

[0054] Exemplarily, the vertical drive mechanism 40 includes a motor and a steel wire rope, the motor is connected to the main body 21, one end of the steel wire rope is connected to the output end of the motor, and the other end of the steel wire rope is connected to the main body 21. When driving, the steel wire rope is driven to rise and fall by the rotation of the motor, and the steel wire rope drives the main body 21 to move in the vertical direction relative to the truss 10.

[0055] Exemplarily, the vertical drive mechanism 40 is a chain transmission mechanism, including a sprocket motor, a sprocket and a chain, the sprocket motor is connected to the main body 21, the sprocket is arranged at the output end of the motor, one end of the chain is meshed with the sprocket, and the other end of the chain is connected to the main body 21. When driving, the sprocket is driven to rotate by the rotation of the sprocket motor, the sprocket drives the meshed chain to move upward or downward, and the chain drives the main body 21 to move in the vertical direction relative to the truss 10.

[0056] Exemplarily, the vertical driving mechanism 40 is a synchronous belt transmission mechanism, including a pulley motor, a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt, the pulley motor is connected to the main body 21, the synchronous pulley is connected to the output end of the pulley motor, one end of the synchronous belt is meshed with the synchronous pulley, and the other end of the synchronous belt is connected to the main body 21. During driving, the synchronous pulley is driven to rotate by the rotation of the pulley motor, the synchronous pulley drives the meshed synchronous belt to move, and the synchronous belt drives the main body 21 to move in the vertical direction relative to the truss 10.

[0057] The vertical drive mechanism 40 is connected to the horizontal drive mechanism 30. When the horizontal drive mechanism 30 is in operation, the main body 21, the horizontal drive mechanism 30 and the vertical drive mechanism 40 move together in the horizontal direction relative to the truss 10. When the vertical drive mechanism 40 is in operation, the vertical drive mechanism 40 and the horizontal drive mechanism 30 are stationary relative to the truss 10, and the vertical drive mechanism 40 drives the main body 21 to move in the vertical direction relative to the truss 10.

[0058] Optionally, the partition placement device 100 and a programmable logic controller (PLC) can be connected via a network cable, and the movement of the partition placement device 100 can be controlled by the PLC to achieve precise control of the horizontal or vertical movement of the main body 21 relative to the truss 10. Exemplarily, after receiving the partition placement command, the PLC can control the horizontal drive mechanism 30 to drive the main body 21 to move horizontally from the initial position to directly above the partition placement area and stop moving, and then control the vertical drive mechanism 40 to drive the main body 21 to move vertically to the surface of the partition, and then control the suction cup 22 to move to adsorb the partition, and control the vertical drive mechanism 40 to move to drive the main body 21 to rise to the horizontal movement position, and then control the horizontal drive mechanism 30 to drive the main body 21 to move horizontally to a horizontal position and stop moving, and then control the vertical drive mechanism 40 to drive the main body 21 to descend to a vertical position, and control the suction cup 22 to release, so as to clamp the partition to a predetermined position, and finally the PLC can control the vertical drive mechanism 40 and the horizontal drive mechanism 30 to move in turn, drive the main body 21 back to the initial position, and complete the entire process of this partition placement.

[0059] The partition placement device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the truss 10 can provide stable support, the suction cup 22 of the placement mechanism 20 can adsorb the partition, the horizontal drive mechanism 30 and the vertical drive mechanism 40 connected to the placement mechanism 20 can drive the placement mechanism 20 to move relative to the truss 10 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, so as to place the partition to a predetermined position. At the same time, precise positioning and movement control can be achieved through the horizontal drive mechanism 30 and the vertical drive mechanism 40, which helps to improve the accuracy of the partition placement position and reduce the risk of manual operation, thereby helping to improve safety.

[0060] In some embodiments, the thickness of the partitions used for different workpieces may be different. When the partition is placed at a predetermined position, the suction cup 22 may be released at a height of 10-15 mm from the predetermined position to allow the partition to fall freely.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a first output end of the horizontal driving mechanism 30 is provided with a first gear 31, and a first rack 32 is provided on the truss 10. The first gear 31 is matched with the first rack 32, and the installation position of the first rack 32 corresponds to the predetermined position.

[0062] The first output end is a power output end of the horizontal driving mechanism 30. Specifically, the first output end is an output end of a motor in the horizontal driving mechanism 30.

[0063] The first gear 31 is a gear structure. The first gear 31 is connected to the first output end, and when the horizontal driving mechanism 30 is in motion, it can drive the first gear 31 to rotate.

[0064] The first rack 32 is a rack structure. The first rack 32 is fixed to the truss 10, extends in the horizontal direction, and the installation position of the first rack 32 corresponds to the predetermined position. The predetermined position is a position within the horizontal stroke range of the placement mechanism 20, and the size of the first rack 32 is adapted to the size of the horizontal stroke of the swing mechanism. Exemplarily, the length of the first rack 32 is the same as the length of the horizontal stroke, and the two ends of the first rack 32 coincide with the two ends corresponding to the horizontal stroke. Exemplarily, in order to reduce the influence of the processing error and installation error of the first gear 31 and the first rack 32 on the horizontal displacement accuracy of the placement mechanism 20, the length of the first rack 32 can be slightly longer than the length of the horizontal stroke.

[0065] The predetermined position is within the size range of the first rack 32 , and when the placing mechanism 20 moves in the horizontal direction through the cooperation between the first gear 31 and the first rack 32 , it can be ensured that the placing mechanism 20 moves to the predetermined position.

[0066] During operation, the output end of the horizontal driving mechanism 30 drives the first gear 31 to rotate, thereby driving the horizontal driving mechanism 30 and the main body 21 to move along the first rack 32, thereby driving the placement mechanism 20 to move horizontally relative to the truss 10.

[0067] In this embodiment, a first output end of the horizontal driving mechanism 30 is provided with a first gear 31, and a first rack 32 matched with the first gear 31 is provided on the truss 10. The precise transmission cooperation between the two helps to achieve precise control of the horizontal movement of the placement mechanism 20 relative to the truss 10, thereby improving the accuracy of the partition placement position; by installing the first rack 32 on the truss 10 and making its position correspond to the predetermined position, precise positioning and movement control of the horizontal driving mechanism 30 can be achieved, which helps to further improve the accuracy of the partition placement position, avoid the displacement or misalignment of the partition, and ensure the stable stacking and layered arrangement of the workpieces.

[0068] In some embodiments, the horizontal driving mechanism 30 includes a screw structure, a nut of the screw structure is disposed on the main body 21 , and a screw of the screw structure is disposed on the truss 10 .

[0069] The screw structure includes a screw and a nut. The nut can move along the axial direction of the screw by cooperating with the thread of the screw to achieve linear motion.

[0070] The nut is fixedly connected to the main body 21 , the screw rod is fixed to the truss 10 , and the screw rod extends along the horizontal direction.

[0071] During operation, the screw rod rotates, driving the nut and the main body 21 connected to the nut to move along the screw rod, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the placement mechanism 20 relative to the truss 10 .

[0072] By adopting the above technical solution, the horizontal driving mechanism 30 can be accurately controlled and positioned, thereby accurately controlling the horizontal displacement of the main body 21 relative to the truss 10, which helps to improve the stability and accuracy of the partition placement device 100.

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a second output end of the vertical driving mechanism 40 is provided with a second gear 41 , and a second rack 42 is provided on the main body 21 , and the second gear 41 is matched with the second rack 42 .

[0074] The second output end is a power output end of the vertical drive mechanism 40. Specifically, the second output end is an output end of a motor in the vertical drive mechanism 40.

[0075] The second gear 41 is a gear structure and is connected to the second output end. When the vertical driving mechanism 40 is in motion, the second gear 41 can be driven to rotate.

[0076] The second rack 42 is a rack structure. The second rack 42 is fixed to the main body 21 and extends in the vertical direction. The size of the second rack 42 is adapted to the size of the vertical stroke of the swing mechanism. Exemplarily, the length of the second rack 42 is the same as the length of the vertical stroke, and the two ends of the second rack 42 coincide with the two ends corresponding to the vertical stroke. Exemplarily, in order to reduce the influence of the processing error and installation error of the second gear 41 and the second rack 42 on the vertical displacement accuracy of the placement mechanism 20, the length of the second rack 42 can be slightly longer than the length of the vertical stroke.

[0077] During operation, the output end of the vertical driving mechanism 40 drives the second gear 41 to rotate, and the second gear 41 drives the second rack 42 to rise and fall along the vertical direction, thereby driving the main body 21 to move along the vertical direction relative to the truss 10 .

[0078] In this embodiment, a second output end of the vertical drive mechanism 40 is provided with a second gear 41, and a second rack 42 matched with the second gear 41 is provided on the main body 21. Through the precise transmission cooperation between the two, the precise control of the movement of the main body 21 in the vertical direction relative to the truss 10 can be achieved, which helps to improve the accuracy of the placement of the partition, avoid the offset or misalignment of the partition, and ensure the stable stacking and layered arrangement of the workpieces.

[0079] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the partition placement device 100 further includes a safety trigger mechanism 50, and the safety trigger mechanism 50 is used to generate a safety trigger signal.

[0080] The safety trigger mechanism 50 can be a contact switch, a position sensor, an infrared sensor or the like.

[0081] When the suction cup 22 absorbs the partition, it can trigger the safety trigger mechanism 50 to generate a safety trigger signal, and after the suction cup 22 absorbs the partition, until the suction cup 22 releases the partition at the predetermined position, the safety trigger signal continues to be generated. The safety trigger mechanism 50 can be electrically connected to the alarm mechanism. If the partition falls off after the suction cup 22 absorbs the partition and moves to the predetermined position to release the partition, the safety trigger signal of the safety trigger mechanism 50 will be interrupted, and the alarm mechanism will be triggered to alarm, prompting the staff to work abnormally.

[0082] The number of the safety trigger mechanism 50 can be one or more. For example, there can be two safety trigger mechanisms 50, which are respectively fixed to the suction cup 22 to avoid failure to detect abnormal operation in time when one safety trigger mechanism 50 fails, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the suction cup 22 adsorbing the partition.

[0083] By adopting the above technical solution, when the partition is adsorbed onto the suction cup 22, the trigger switch in the safety trigger mechanism 50 can be in a triggered state all the time. If the safety trigger signal is not detected during the adsorption process, it means that the partition is not firmly adsorbed onto the suction cup 22, or there is an abnormality in the partition, which may cause the partition to fall off or other safety problems. The operator can determine the adsorption status of the partition through the safety trigger signal, which helps to improve the reliability and safety of the partition placement device 100. At this time, the system will automatically alarm and notify the operator to perform manual processing to ensure the safety of the operator and the normal operation of the equipment.

[0084] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the safety trigger mechanism 50 is positioned lower than the suction cup 22 .

[0085] The position of the safety trigger mechanism 50 is lower than that of the suction cup 22. When the suction cup 22 adsorbs the partition, the partition will first contact the safety trigger mechanism 50 and trigger the safety trigger mechanism 50 to generate a safety trigger signal, which can ensure that a safety trigger signal can be generated when the suction cup 22 adsorbs the partition.

[0086] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be ensured that when the suction cup 22 adsorbs the partition, it can trigger the safety trigger mechanism 50 to generate a safety trigger signal, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the partition adsorption, which helps to improve the reliability and safety of the equipment.

[0087] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the partition placement device 100 includes a first station 60, a second station 61 and a third station 62 which are arranged in sequence and at intervals, and the first station 60, the second station 61 and the third station 62 are arranged within the horizontal travel range of the placement mechanism 20.

[0088] The first station 60 and the second station 61 are both stations for placing die-cast parts. The die-cast parts are stacked layer by layer at the first station 60 and the second station 61.

[0089] Optionally, the first station 60 and the second station 61 can be used separately, one as a working station and the other as a standby station. For example, the first station 60 can be used as a working station and the second station 61 can be used as a standby station, and the workpiece can be placed at the first station 60. When the workpiece at the first station 60 is placed to a predetermined height, the second station 61 can be used as a working station and the workpiece can be placed at the second station 61. At the same time, a forklift or an automatic guided vehicle can be synchronously controlled to move the workpiece at the first station 60 out, so that after the second station 61 is fully stacked, the workpiece can be stacked at the standby first station 60, and this cycle can be repeated to avoid the situation where there is only one station. If the workpiece at the station is stacked to a predetermined height, the stacking needs to be stopped, and the stacked multi-layer workpieces need to be moved away before the workpieces can be stacked at the station.

[0090] The third station 62 is a storage area for unused partitions, and the placement mechanism 20 can grab the partitions at the third station 62 to the first station 60 or the second station 61 .

[0091] The first station 60, the second station 61 and the third station 62 are arranged within the horizontal travel range of the placement mechanism 20. The arrangement positions of the first station 60, the second station 61 and the third station 62 can be adjusted according to actual use requirements. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the second station 61, the first station 60 and the third station 62 can be arranged in sequence in the horizontal direction. For example, in order to improve the efficiency of placing the partition, the third station 62 can be arranged between the first station 60 and the second station 61, so that the distance from the third station 62 to the first station 60 and the second station 61 is the same and relatively short.

[0092] When stacking workpieces, the height of the workpiece stack needs to be smaller than the height of the lateral position of the placement mechanism 20 to avoid the placement mechanism 20 being unable to move horizontally to the second station 61 after the first station 60 is fully stacked with workpieces.

[0093] When placing the partition, the PLC can first control the horizontal drive mechanism 30 and the vertical drive mechanism 40 to move, drive the main body 21 to move to the third station 62, and control the suction cup 22 to adsorb the partition, drive the main body 21 to move to the first station 60 or the second station 61 to a predetermined position, and control the suction cup 22 to release the partition, so as to place the partition at the predetermined position.

[0094] In this embodiment, by setting up multiple workstations, the function of each workstation can be set according to actual usage requirements when stacking workpieces, and functional zoning can be achieved within the horizontal travel range of the placement mechanism 20. Two workpiece stacking positions can be set to avoid the need to remove the stacked workpieces before stacking can continue after stacking reaches a preset height, which helps to improve production efficiency.

[0095] In some embodiments, the partition placement device 100 further includes a horizontal limiter 70 , which is used to limit the horizontal travel range of the placement mechanism 20 , and the horizontal limiter 70 is disposed on the truss 10 .

[0096] The horizontal limiter 70 can be a sensor or a switch. For example, a photoelectric sensor or a magnetic proximity switch light. The horizontal limiter 70 can detect the horizontal position of the placement mechanism 20 and inform the PLC control system of the position state of the placement mechanism 20 through a feedback signal, thereby achieving accurate positioning and control of the placement mechanism 20.

[0097] The horizontal limiter 70 may also be a rigid structure such as a limiter block, a limiter plate, etc. The horizontal limiter 70 has a certain rigidity and strength, and can resist the placement mechanism 20 to prevent the placement mechanism 20 from moving out of the horizontal travel range.

[0098] The number of the horizontal limiters 70 is two or more, and the two or more limiters are fixedly connected to the truss 10 and are respectively arranged at two ends corresponding to the horizontal stroke of the placement mechanism 20 .

[0099] In the process of the horizontal driving mechanism 30 driving the main body 21 to move in the horizontal direction relative to the truss 10, when the main body 21 moves to the leftmost end or the rightmost end of the horizontal travel range, the horizontal limit member 70 arranged there can send the position information of the placement mechanism 20 to the PLC control system, so that the PLC can promptly control the horizontal driving mechanism 30 to stop driving, or the main body 21 directly contacts the horizontal limit member 70, and the horizontal limit member 70 is used to resist the horizontal limit member 70 to prevent the placement mechanism 20 from moving outside the horizontal travel range.

[0100] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be ensured that the horizontal travel range of the placement mechanism 20 does not exceed the preset range, thereby avoiding unnecessary movement or collision of the mechanism during operation, which helps to improve the safety and stability of the device.

[0101] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the partition placement device 100 also includes a drag chain 80 and a support frame 90 adapted to the drag chain 80 , the support frame 90 is used to support the drag chain 80 , and the support frame 90 is connected to the main body 21 .

[0102] Drag chain 80 is a structure used to protect and manage cables, hoses, wires, etc. in moving parts. Drag chain 80 can reduce entanglement and crossing between ropes, cables and pipes, improve the overall appearance and safety of the equipment, and enable wires and pipes to freely expand and bend during the movement of the equipment, thereby providing higher flexibility and reliability.

[0103] The support frame 90 is a structure such as a frame, a bracket, etc. The support frame 90 is fixed to the main body 21 and is used to support the drag chain 80 during the process of the drag chain 80 extending and bending.

[0104] In this embodiment, the drag chain 80 can provide an external protective layer to prevent the wires and pipelines inside it from being damaged by mechanical movement, friction or other external factors. The support frame 90 can further reinforce and protect the drag chain 80 to ensure the stability and reliability of the drag chain 80.

[0105] The present application also provides a palletizing device, including a palletizing robot and the above-mentioned partition placing device 100, the palletizing robot is used to place the workpiece on the partition after the partition placing device 100 places the partition.

[0106] The palletizing robot is electrically connected to the PLC, and the PLC controller controls the palletizing robot to stack multiple pressed workpieces onto the partitions of the corresponding workstations in sequence.

[0107] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the stacking robot and the partition placement device 100, the partition can be automatically placed at a predetermined position, and then the workpiece can be automatically placed on the partition, which helps to improve the placement accuracy and efficiency of the workpiece, can reduce the risk of manual operation, and help improve safety.

[0108] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
