Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of dishwasher accessory processing equipment, and more specifically relates to an automatic wire feeding device for upper and lower bowl baskets of a dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, especially the rapid development of home appliance technology, there are special dishwashing equipment for tableware cleaning. A multifunctional dishwasher generally has functions such as spraying, drying, and sterilization. Users only need to put dishes and other tableware into the dishwasher, and the dishwasher can automatically complete a series of cleaning tasks according to the user's settings. It is easy to use and fully automated, which effectively reduces the user's operation. Therefore, dishwashers are becoming more and more popular in thousands of households and are deeply loved by the majority of users.

[0003] As a reusable component of dishwashing equipment, the bowl basket is a device used to load and fix tableware for washing tableware. In the production process of the bowl basket, the steel wire needs to go through processes such as stamping and welding. Then, before the steel wire enters the hydraulic press mold, it needs to be combed to ensure that the steel wire can be arranged at equal intervals, which is conducive to the subsequent stamping operation. At present, in most cases, this combing work is done manually, which not only has low work efficiency, but also greatly increases the labor intensity of workers. Therefore, how to efficiently complete the automatic combing and sorting of steel wire is of great production practical significance to improving production efficiency.

[0004] After searching, the patent CN106219214A discloses an automatic placement device. The application includes a conveying mechanism, one end of which is arranged at the exit of the storage bin, for conveying parts in the storage bin; a transportation mechanism, which is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism; a two-dimensional motion module, which is arranged above the conveying mechanism and the transportation mechanism and supported by a base; a mechanical gripper, which is arranged on the two-dimensional motion module and can move in the horizontal and vertical directions under the drive of the two-dimensional motion module, for clamping parts on the conveying mechanism to the transportation mechanism, and the transportation mechanism then transports the parts to a place. The application adopts a single grabbing mode, which cannot complete the automatic sorting operation of steel wire well.

[0005] In the patent CN213675541U, a tilting material shaking machine is disclosed for facilitating the placement of workpieces. This application can fix the workpiece, place the carrier on the support plate, and then press the carrier through the cover plate, and then tilt the carrier through the tilting motor, and drive the carrier to vibrate through the vibrating cylinder, so that the workpieces are closely arranged in sequence, avoiding shaking during the processing of the workpieces, and facilitating the subsequent processing of the workpieces. However, in this application, the scissor structure needs to be placed in the scissor structure fixing groove in the carrier in sequence, so its working efficiency needs to be further improved.

[0006] Patent CN115213871A discloses an automatic gripper and method for randomly placed workpieces in a material box. In the process of grasping, the point cloud sensor first captures images to build a coordinate system for the grasped workpiece, calculates its rotation relationship with the standard coordinate system and obtains the position of the grasping transition point; the robot moves to the grasping transition point; the automatic grasping gripper adjusts its posture so that the gripper surface is parallel to the workpiece; the robot drives the automatic grasping gripper to move vertically downward to grasp the workpiece. The operation of this application is relatively complicated. Its essence is direct grasping, not automatic positioning before grasping, and only one can be grasped at a time. Utility Model Content

[0032] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic wire feeding device for upper and lower baskets of a dishwasher in this embodiment includes an automatic sorting mechanism 1 and an automatic clamping mechanism 2. The automatic sorting mechanism 1 is used to arrange the disordered workpieces 3 (i.e., steel wires) in a material box 11 in a specified direction in parallel and equidistant manner. The automatic clamping mechanism 2 is used to clamp the neatly arranged steel wires and transfer them to the next process for stamping and forming.

[0036] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic sorting mechanism 1 includes a bracket 16 and a material box 11 arranged on the bracket 16. The material box 11 is provided with a plurality of loading spaces, and the loading spaces are provided with mutually connected guide sections 111 and a lower material bin 112. Among them, the guide section 111 is tilted toward the lower material bin 112 as a whole, so that it can play a certain guiding role in the movement of the steel wire in the material box 11, so that the workpiece 3 can enter the lower material bin 112 more smoothly.

[0037] Preferably, the guide section 111 is divided into two sections, the first inclined section close to the lower bin 112 and the second inclined section away from the lower bin 112; and the inclination angle of the first inclined section is greater than the inclination angle of the second inclined section. The inclination angle of the first inclined section is 30-60°, for example, 35°, 45°, 50°, 55°, etc.; the inclination angle of the second inclined section is 10-30°, for example, 10°, 15°, 25°, etc.

[0038] The bottom of the unloading bin 112 is designed to be open to serve as an outlet for the steel wires; at the same time, a receiving portion 12 for receiving and automatically sorting the steel wires is provided at the outlet.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the receiving portion 12 is a plate-like structure as a whole, which is slidably disposed on the top platform of the bracket 16. The receiving portion 12 is provided with a plurality of parallel and equally spaced receiving grooves 121, which can be used to accommodate a single steel wire to arrange multiple steel wires in an orderly manner.

[0040] Preferably, the receiving trough 121 is distributed in three sections, which are used to accommodate and support the two ends and the middle part of the workpiece 3. Of course, the bottom of the front baffle of the material box 11 needs to be provided with a slot for the receiving part 12 to shuttle back and forth, and the height of the slot is less than the radius of the steel wire. At the same time, the receiving part 12 needs to be connected to a driving source, such as a cylinder, an oil cylinder, an electric telescopic rod, etc. The receiving part 12 and the bracket 16 can be slidably matched by a linear guide pair, such as a guide rail slider match, a guide rod guide sleeve match, a guide rod guide groove match, etc.

[0041] During operation, when the receiving portion 12 drives the receiving trough 121 thereon to move to the bottom of the output port of the material discharge bin 112, a single steel wire can fall into the corresponding receiving trough 121 to complete the automatic sorting of multiple steel wires; then, the receiving portion 12 drives the workpiece 3 thereon to move out of the material discharge bin 112, and the automatic clamping mechanism 2 transfers the multiple steel wires neatly arranged in the receiving trough 121 to the hydraulic press mold for stamping and forming.

[0042] In addition, in order to prevent the steel wires carried by the receiving portion 12 from interfering with the bottom of the front baffle of the material box 11 during the process of pushing the receiving portion 12 out of the lower material bin 112, in this embodiment, a guide portion 122 is provided at the end of the receiving portion 12, and the receiving trough 121 is provided near the guide portion 122.

[0043] That is, there is a distance between the outermost receiving groove 121 and the end surface of the receiving portion 12, and the area covered by this distance is the above-mentioned guide portion 122. Preferably, the distance (i.e., the width of the guide portion) is 1-3 cm, for example, 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, etc. If the width of the guide portion 122 is too long, it will affect the discharge efficiency of the workpiece 3.

[0044] In order to ensure that the steel wires in the unloading bin 112 can enter the corresponding receiving slot 121 more smoothly. To this end, in this embodiment, a combing plate 13 is also provided on the receiving portion 12. Figure 5 As shown, the combing plate 13 is provided with a combing portion 131 near its end. Preferably, the combing portion 131 is a convex shape that is gradually flattened from both sides of the middle phase. The combing portion 131 can toss the workpieces 3 in the lower bin 112 up and down as the combing plate 13 moves back and forth, so that the workpieces 3 can be arranged in a more orderly manner, thereby facilitating the subsequent material receiving operation of the receiving trough 121.

[0045] Of course, there are two implementation methods for the back-and-forth movement of the combing plate 13. First, the combing plate 13 is directly fixed on the material receiving portion 12, so that the combing plate 13 can move synchronously with the material receiving portion 12. This method can reduce the use of the driving source, but the throwing frequency of the workpiece 3 must be consistent with the material receiving frequency of the material receiving slot 121.

[0046] Secondly, the combing plate 13 is slidably arranged on the material receiving portion 12, and the combing plate 13 is connected to a separate driving source 15; in this way, the movement of the combing plate 13 and the movement of the material receiving portion 12 can be relatively independent, so that the movement frequency of the combing plate 13 can be easily controlled separately.

[0047] Specifically in this embodiment, two loading spaces are provided in the material box 11 , and the unloading bin 112 in each loading space is equipped with two combing plates 13 and five receiving grooves 121 , and the multiple combing plates 13 are connected to the same driving source 15 via a connecting plate 14 .

[0048] At the same time, in order to prevent interference between the material combing portion 131 and the front baffle of the material box 11, a notch (not shown in the figure) is provided on the front baffle for the material combing portion 131 to pass freely.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, the automatic clamping mechanism 2 in this embodiment can be formed by a six-axis robot 21 in the prior art in conjunction with a fixture 22. At the same time, an adsorption groove corresponding to the receiving groove 121 is provided on the fixture 22 for adsorbing and transferring the steel wire in the receiving groove 121.

[0050] The automatic wire feeding device for the upper and lower baskets of a dishwasher of the present embodiment can automatically sort a plurality of steel wires by using the receiving groove 121 on the receiving portion 12, thereby replacing the traditional manual sorting operation, thereby greatly improving the sorting effect of workpieces while reducing the workload.

[0051] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
