[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] This embodiment provides an automatic loading and unloading device for a plug-in machine, as shown in the attached Figure 1 As shown, it includes a manipulator installed at the feeding end of the insertion and drawing machine 10 and a grabbing station 3 arranged next to the insertion and drawing machine. When loading, the manipulator is used to transfer the cakes on the grabbing station to the indexing workbench 10.1 of the insertion and drawing machine 10; when unloading, the manipulator is used to transfer the cakes on the indexing workbench to complete the insertion and drawing process to the grabbing station.

[0031] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the manipulator includes a rotating support arm assembly 1 and grabbing assemblies 2 for grabbing the cannon cakes 20, which are arranged at both ends of the rotating support arm assembly 2. One grabbing assembly 2 is arranged directly above the indexing table 10.1 of the insertion and drawing machine 10, and the other grabbing assembly 2 is arranged directly above the grabbing station 3. The manipulator is designed to adopt a double-station operation mode, so that when one station is performing the insertion and drawing operation, the other station can simultaneously prepare the product to be inserted and drawn, realizing seamless connection and shortening the production cycle.

[0032] Preferably, as attached Figure 3 As shown, the rotating support arm assembly 1 includes a rotating cylinder 1.1, a bearing seat 1.2, a rotating shaft and a supporting arm 1.3. The rotating cylinder 1.1 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the extension panel 10.2 of the inserting and drawing machine 10, and the bearing seat 1.2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the extension panel 10.2. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the bearing seat 1.2, one end of which is connected to the supporting arm 1.3, and the other end is connected to the rotating cylinder 1.1. The rotating support arm assembly uses a rotating cylinder to control the supporting arm to achieve 180° reversal, and the two grabbing assemblies act synchronously to exchange the positions of the uninserted and inserted gun cakes.

[0033] Preferably, as attached Figure 2 As shown, the grabbing assembly 2 includes a linear module 2.1 and an electric clamp 2.2 fixedly mounted on a slide of the linear module 2.1; wherein: the linear module is used to control the lifting and lowering of the electric clamp, and the electric clamp is used to clamp the cannon cake. Specifically, the linear module is fixedly mounted on the support arm through an L-shaped mounting block.

[0034] Preferably, as attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the grabbing station 3 uses a belt conveyor, which is arranged between the feeding belt 30 and the discharging belt 40, and the grabbing assembly 2 is located at the discharging end of the belt conveyor. Figure 2As shown, the discharging end of the belt conveyor is also provided with a material blocking mechanism 4 for positioning the cannon cake 20, which is used to position the cannon cake so that the cannon cake can be smoothly grabbed by the manipulator. The material blocking mechanism 4 includes a bracket 4.1, a cylinder 4.2 and a limit baffle 4.3, wherein the limit baffle 4.3 is mounted on the top rod of the cylinder 4.2, and the cylinder 4.2 is mounted on the frame of the belt conveyor through the bracket.

[0035] Preferably, the limit baffle 4.3 is also provided with a proximity switch 5 for detecting the cakes and providing signals to the feeding belt, the discharging belt and the grabbing station (ie, the belt conveyor).

[0036] Working principle: At the feeding end of the feeding belt, the position of the gun cake on the feeding belt can be located by the manipulator. When the gun cake is transported to the grabbing station, it is blocked by the material blocking mechanism. At this time, the proximity switch detects the gun cake, and the control system controls the feeding belt and the belt conveyor to stop feeding. Then the manipulator is controlled to grab the gun cake and transfer it to the indexing workbench of the insertion and drawing machine. The insertion and drawing machine automatically completes the insertion and drawing work. After the proximity switch detects that the gun cake has been grabbed and left, the control system controls the feeding belt and the belt conveyor to continue feeding, and waits for the next gun cake to be blocked by the material blocking mechanism; when the insertion and drawing is completed, the manipulator is controlled to swap the inserted and uninserted gun cakes. When the inserted gun cake is on the belt conveyor, the limit baffle of the material blocking mechanism drops (the time difference of the proximity switch sensing signal can be used to determine the timing of the control limit baffle to drop), and the belt conveyor and the discharge belt are controlled to start at the same time, and the inserted gun cake is transferred to the next process. The above actions are all controlled by the host computer.

[0037] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
