Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of material transportation mechanism design, in particular to a tray material classification and transportation mechanism and a production line. Background Art

[0002] In the production process, materials mostly rely on trays to flow on the production line. Specifically, a tray is a material tray that carries materials on the production line, and a tray material conveying mechanism is a device used to transport the tray.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to ensure the production quality of materials, a series of inspections are required after the materials are produced. The inspection mechanism inspects the materials to distinguish good and bad materials. After the materials are inspected, they need to be classified and transported (that is, qualified materials and unqualified materials need to be transported separately). However, the traditional tray material conveying mechanism only has the function of tray transportation, and it cannot grab the materials after inspection by category. In the above situation, currently, the classified materials can only be placed on the tray one by one by hand, which takes a lot of time and seriously affects production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, finding a technical solution that can solve the above technical problems has become an important topic studied by technical personnel in this field. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a tray material classification and conveying mechanism, comprising a frame 1, a conveying device for conveying a tray 8, and a grabbing device for grabbing the classified materials onto the tray 8;

[0035] In this embodiment, after the materials are detected and classified, the vacuum suction cup places the classified materials on the tray 8 on the conveying device under the drive of the first linear drive module 2, the second linear drive module 3 and the third linear drive module 4, and then the conveying device transports the tray 8 loaded with materials for subsequent production processes. Through the above design, it effectively replaces the manual grasping of classified materials to the tray 8, greatly saving production time and effectively improving production efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction can be the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and the vertical direction can be the Z-axis direction, that is, the above-mentioned first linear drive module 2, the second linear drive module 3 and the third linear drive module 4 can drive the vacuum suction cup to move in the XYZ three-axis directions.

[0037] Furthermore, the vacuum suction cup in this embodiment includes an air pump 5, an air guide tube 6 and a suction cup 7;

[0038] The air pump 5 is connected to the third linear drive module 4 , and the air pump 5 is connected to the suction cup 7 through the air guide tube 6 .

[0039] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the air pump 5 sucks the air in the suction cup 7 through the air pipe 6 to make the suction cup 7 in a vacuum state, thereby enabling the suction cup 7 to adsorb the material.

[0040] Furthermore, a visual inspection module 16 is also installed on the top of the rack 1 in this embodiment;

[0041] It should be noted that the visual inspection module 16 in this embodiment is used to detect whether the tray 8 is full of materials. When the tray 8 is full of materials, the conveying device starts to transport the tray 8.

[0042] Specifically, the visual inspection module 16 in this embodiment includes a detection camera and a light source.

[0043] Furthermore, the conveying device in this embodiment includes a supporting bottom plate 10, a supporting plate 11, an active roller 12, a driven roller 17, a conveying belt 13 and a supporting plate for supporting the tray 8;

[0045] The driving member mentioned above is specifically a servo motor.

[0046] It should be noted that the specific working principle of the conveying device in this embodiment is:

[0047] The driving roller 12 is driven to rotate by a driving member, so that the conveyor belt 13 moves. When the conveyor belt 13 moves, the support plate 9 is driven to move synchronously, thereby realizing the transportation of the tray 8.

[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there are four support plates 11 , two conveyor belts 13 , and two pallets 9 . Every two support plates 11 form a group to jointly support a conveyor belt 13 , and each conveyor belt 13 is fixed to a pallet 9 .

[0049] Furthermore, the tray material classification and conveying mechanism in this embodiment further includes fixing screws, and the support plate 9 and the conveyor belt 13 are fixedly connected via the fixing screws.

[0050] It should be noted that, through the above design, the pallet 9 can be fixed on the conveyor belt 13 to prevent the pallet 9 from being displaced relative to the conveyor belt 13 during transportation, thereby preventing the material on the tray 8 from spilling.

[0051] Furthermore, a plurality of positioning pins 19 which are positioned and matched with the positioning holes 21 of the tray plate 8 are provided on the surface of the support plate 9 away from the conveyor belt 13 in this embodiment.

[0052] It should be noted that, through the above design, when the tray 8 is placed on the pallet 9, the positioning holes 21 on the tray 8 are positioned and matched with the positioning pins 19 on the pallet 9, thereby improving the stability of the tray 8 installed above the pallet 9.

A slider 20 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 15, and the slider 20 is fixedly connected to the support plate 9.

[0055] It should be noted that, through the above design, the support plate 9 can move more smoothly and stably in the process of following the conveyor belt 13 . In addition, the design of the limit baffle is used to limit the moving distance of the support plate 9 .

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first linear drive module 2 and the second linear drive module 3 are both linear motors;

[0057] The third linear drive module 4 in this embodiment is an electric hydraulic rod.

[0058] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structural types of the first linear drive module 2 , the second linear drive module 3 and the third linear drive module 4 , and designers can make choices based on actual conditions.

[0059] See also Figures 1 to 3 A production line provided by an embodiment of the utility model includes the above-mentioned tray material classification and conveying mechanism.

[0060] It should be noted that the production line of this embodiment also has a detection device for detecting whether the material is qualified. The detection device is an existing conventional detection device, such as a visual detection device. After the detection device completes the material detection, the material is specifically divided into two categories: qualified material and unqualified material. Subsequently, the grabbing device in the tray material classification and conveying mechanism of this embodiment grabs the classified material onto the tray 8, and finally the conveying device transports the tray 8. Through the above design, it effectively replaces the manual grabbing of the classified material onto the tray 8, greatly saving production time and effectively improving production efficiency.

For general technicians in this field, according to the ideas of the embodiments of the utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes.
