[0029] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0030] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being “above” or “below” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly in contact with the second feature, or the first feature and the second feature are indirectly in contact through an intermediate medium.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the specification of this application have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used in the specification of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 5The present application provides an automatic handling and stamping device for automobile parts, including a base 10, a stamping mechanism 20, an adsorption component 30, and a moving component 40. The adsorption component 30, the moving component 40, and the stamping mechanism 20 are all arranged on the base 10. Specifically, the length direction of the base 10 is defined as the X direction, and the height direction of the base 10 is defined as the Z direction. Along the length direction X of the base 10, a loading station 11, a processing station 12, and a unloading station 13 are sequentially arranged on the base 10, and the stamping mechanism 20 is located above the processing station 12. Among them, the adsorption component 30 includes a main body 31, a suction cup 33, an exhaust component 34, and a push rod 35. The suction cup 33 is arranged on the main body 31 and is connected to the exhaust component 34, and is used to absorb the workpiece. The push rod 35 is arranged on the main body 31, and is used to release the suction of the suction cup 33 on the workpiece. The body 31 is connected to a moving component 40 . The moving component 40 is disposed on the base 10 and is used to drive the body 31 to move so as to drive the workpiece sucked by the suction cup 33 to move among the loading station 11 , the processing station 12 and the unloading station 13 .

[0033] It is understandable that during the entire processing of the workpiece, the movement of the workpiece is achieved through the adsorption component 30 and the moving component 40, and the mechanical automation operation has low labor costs and high work efficiency. The workpiece is grasped by the suction cup 33, which is not limited by the type, size, and shape of the workpiece, and can achieve stable grasping. The setting of the push rod 35 enables the workpiece to overcome the suction between the suction cup 33 and the workpiece under the pressure applied by the push rod 35, and fall off the suction cup 33, avoiding the situation where the workpiece cannot fall after being moved into place, improving the accuracy of the equipment's automated operation, and reducing the probability of empty parts.

[0034] Furthermore, the main body 31 includes a first seat body 311, a second seat body 312, and a first driving member 32. A plurality of suction cups 33 are provided, which are evenly spaced on the first body 31. In the Z direction, the first seat body 311 is provided below the second seat body 312, and the first driving member 32 is provided on the second seat body 312, and is used to drive the first seat body 311 to descend / move upward relative to the second seat body 312. The first driving member 32 can be an electric screw 431, a cylinder, etc. In the present embodiment, the first driving member 32 is a cylinder directly purchased on the market, and the driving shaft of the first driving member 32 is directly connected to the first seat body 311. When the workpiece is released, the first driving member 32 can drive the first seat body 311 to move downward, shorten the distance between the workpiece and the workstation, and avoid the workpiece from falling and bumping. At the same time, the placement position of the workpiece on the workstation is not easy to shift, thereby improving the accuracy of the stamping process.

[0035] Furthermore, the suction member 34 is arranged on the second base body 312, and includes a shell 341 and a suction fan 342 arranged on the shell 341. The shell 341 is hollow and fixedly connected to the second base body 312. The suction cup 33 is connected to the suction member 34 through the air pipe 36. Specifically, the number of air pipes 36 corresponds to the number of suction cups 33, and one end of the air pipe 36 is connected to the suction cup 33, and the other end penetrates into the shell 341 and communicates with the hollow environment inside the shell 341. One end of the air pipe 36 that penetrates into the shell 341 is sealed with the shell 341. When the suction fan 342 is started, the air in the hollow environment in the shell 341 will be sucked out, and then the air in the suction cup 33 will also be sucked out through the air pipe 36, forming a negative pressure environment. In order to prevent the connection between the air pipe 36 and the suction cup 33 from being affected during the movement of the first seat body 311, a plurality of through holes are provided on the second seat body 312, and the number and positions of the plurality of through holes correspond to the arrangement of the air pipe 36. The through holes penetrate the second seat body 312 along the Z direction, and the air pipe 36 can be slidably arranged in the through holes, so that when the first seat body 311 descends or moves upward, the air pipe 36 can be relatively extended or shortened, ensuring that the connection position of the air pipe 36 and the suction cup 33 will not be disengaged.

[0036] In one embodiment, a through hole 3111 is provided on the first seat body 311, and the through hole 3111 penetrates the first seat body 311 along the Z direction. One end of the push rod 35 is connected to the second seat body 312, and the other end is slidably penetrated in the through hole 3111. Therefore, when the first seat body 311 descends or moves upward compared to the second seat body 312, the push rod 35 will be correspondingly retracted into or extended out of the through hole 3111. In addition, in the process of the first seat body 311 moving upward, the push rod 35 is synchronously used to push down the workpiece on the suction cup 33, with fewer operating procedures and high effects. Moreover, it can be realized by only using the setting of the push rod 35 and the through hole 3111, and the overall structure is simple and not prone to failure.

[0037] See also Figure 5 The moving component 40 includes a guide groove 41, a moving member 42, and a second driving member 43. Specifically, the guide groove 41 is opened on the base 10 along the X direction, and the loading station 11, the processing station 12 and the unloading station 13 are sequentially distributed along the length direction of the guide groove 41. The moving member 42 is arranged on the guide groove 41, and can move on the guide groove 41 along the length direction of the guide groove 41 (i.e., the X direction). The second driving member 43 is used to drive the moving member 42 to reciprocate in the length direction of the guide groove 41, and the main body 31 is connected to the moving member 42, so that when the moving member 42 moves, it will drive the main body 31 to move together.

[0038] Further, the second driving member 43 includes a screw rod 431, a motor 432 and a screw hole 433. Among them, the motor 432 is arranged on one end of the guide rail groove 41, and the output shaft of the motor 432 is connected to the screw rod 431, and the motor 432 can drive the screw rod 431 to rotate when it is started. The screw hole 433 is arranged on the moving member 42, the screw rod 431 is inserted into the screw hole 433 and is threadedly connected with the screw hole, and the screw rod 431 is arranged along the length direction of the guide rail groove 41. Preferably, the moving member 42 is block-shaped, and the side wall of the moving member 42 is against the guide rail groove 41. When the screw rod 431 rotates, the guide rail groove 41 limits the rotation of the moving member 42, and then the moving member 42 moves along the length direction of the screw rod 431 to realize the movement of the body 31. This driving mode is a hard fit, not prone to failure, and the overall structure is simple and easy to process.

[0039] Preferably, the base 10 is provided with a moving groove 14, the position of which corresponds to the position of the guide groove 41, and the moving groove 14 extends along the length direction of the guide groove 41 and is connected to the guide groove 41. The moving member 42 partially passes through the moving groove 14 and is connected to the body 31. Specifically, the end of the moving member 42 connected to the body 31 extends out of the moving groove 14. Under this structure, the guide groove 41 is a hollow guide groove 41, which prevents the screw rod 431 and other structures from being directly exposed to the outside, and is more beautiful.

[0040] More preferably, a heat dissipation port 15 is provided on the base 10 at a position corresponding to the motor 432 to prevent the motor 432 from overheating and reduce the failure rate.

[0041] In this embodiment, the base 10 includes a machine tool 101 and a trolley 102. The loading station 11 and the processing station 12 are arranged on the machine tool 101, and the unloading station 13 is arranged on the trolley 102. The trolley 102 is arranged on the side of the machine tool 101 close to the processing station 12. Specifically, along the Z direction, the upper surface of the machine tool 101 has a groove that is concave downward at a position corresponding to the rear side, and the groove is the processing station 12. The flat portion of the upper surface of the machine tool 101 is the loading station 11.

[0042] In this embodiment, the punching mechanism 20 includes a punch 21 and a third driving member 22. The punch 21 is connected to the third driving member 22. The third driving member 22 is arranged on the base 10 and is used to drive the punch 21 to descend / move upward. The third driving member 22 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric screw 431, etc. In the embodiment, the third driving member 22 is a hydraulic cylinder directly purchased on the market.

[0043] In one embodiment, the automatic handling and stamping device for automobile parts also includes a control panel 50, which is a PLC board or a circuit board. The above-mentioned motor 432, cylinder, hydraulic cylinder and other electrical components are all electrically connected to the control panel 50, so that the start or shutdown of the above-mentioned electrical components is controlled by the control panel 50.

[0044] Working principle: When in use, first place the workpiece on the loading station 11, then start the motor 432 through the control panel 50, the output shaft of the motor 432 drives the screw 431 to rotate forward, and then drives the moving part 42 to move along the guide groove 41 to the loading station 11, and drives the adsorption component to move to the loading station 11. After that, the control panel 50 starts the first driving member 32, and the first driving member 32 drives the first seat body 311 to descend until the lower surface of the suction cup 33 and the upper surface of the workpiece are tightly fitted. After that, the control panel 50 starts the vacuum member 34 to suck out the gas in the suction cup 33, and then the suction cup 33 firmly adsorbs the workpiece. The control panel 50 starts the motor 432, and the output shaft of the motor 432 drives the screw 431 to reverse, and then drives the moving part 42 to move along the guide groove 41 to the processing station 12, and drives the adsorption component to move to the processing station 12. Afterwards, the control panel 50 starts the first driving member 32 again, and at the same time, the control panel 50 closes the vacuum member 34. The first driving member 32 drives the first seat body 311 to rise, and the push rod extends out of the through hole 3111 to push the workpiece down, and the workpiece falls onto the processing station 12. Afterwards, the control panel 50 starts the motor 432, and the output shaft of the motor 432 drives the screw 431 to rotate forward, so that the adsorption component leaves the processing station 12. Afterwards, the control panel 50 controls the third driving member 22 to start, and drives the punch 21 to move down to punch the workpiece. After the punching is completed, the third driving member 22 drives the punch 21 to move up. Afterwards, the control panel 50 starts the motor 432 again, and drives the screw 431 to reverse, so that the adsorption component moves to the processing station 12. Then, the above-mentioned workpiece adsorption operation is repeated. After the workpiece is adsorbed, the control panel 50 starts the motor 432 again, driving the screw 431 to rotate forward, so that the adsorption component moves to the unloading station 13, and then the above-mentioned workpiece pushing operation is repeated, so that the workpiece falls into the cart 102 and is collected in the cart 102.

[0045] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0046] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
