Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material transmission devices, and in particular to a conveying and positioning device. Background Art

[0002] The installation of magnetic components is a key step in the precision assembly process of electronic products. Due to their magnetic properties, these components must be carefully removed from the storage tray and accurately placed in the preset position before automated assembly so that the assembly machine can smoothly grasp and accurately install them. In order to improve the stability of the magnetic components in the tray, a tray with its own magnetism is usually selected to ensure that the components can be firmly adsorbed on the tray to prevent sliding or shifting.

[0003] However, currently, the removal and placement of magnetic components mostly rely on manual operations. Operators must take the magnetic components from the tray one by one and place them in a specific position in a predetermined order and direction for use in subsequent automated assembly processes. This method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also difficult to ensure the placement accuracy of the magnetic components due to the intervention of human factors, which may affect the quality and consistency of the final assembly.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances. Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0062] The following is a further description of the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present application, the Z-axis direction is defined as the first direction, the Y-axis direction is defined as the second direction, and the X-axis direction is defined as the third direction.

[0063] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a conveying and positioning device 100, which is used to take out a magnetic workpiece 300 from a tray 200 and to transport and position the workpiece. The conveying and positioning device 100 includes a feeding mechanism 10, a transmission mechanism 20, a material distribution mechanism 30 and a positioning mechanism 40.

[0064] Specifically, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The feeding mechanism 10 is used to carry the material tray 200 and move the material tray 200 to a preset position along the Z-axis direction.

[0065] The transmission mechanism 20 is arranged close to the feeding mechanism 10 along the Y-axis direction. The transmission mechanism 20 includes a transmission component 21 extending along the X-axis direction and a plurality of supporting components 22 arranged at intervals from the transmission component 21 along the X-axis direction. The transmission component 21 is used to transmit the supporting component 22 along the X-axis direction.

[0066] The material separation mechanism 30 is disposed along the Y-axis direction at a side of the transmission mechanism 20 away from the feeding mechanism 10 . The material separation mechanism 30 is used to place the magnetic workpieces 300 in the material tray 200 on the supporting assembly 22 .

[0067] The positioning mechanism 40 includes a plurality of movable positioning members 41, and the plurality of positioning members 41 are arranged along the X-axis direction near the end of the transmission component 21 and are mounted above the transmission component 21. The plurality of positioning members 41 are used to clamp the magnetic workpiece 300 in the supporting component 22 when the supporting component 22 moves to correspond to the plurality of positioning members 41, so as to position the magnetic workpiece 300.

[0068] The conveying and positioning device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can move the material tray 200 to a preset position through the feeding mechanism 10, and can transfer the magnetic workpiece 300 in the material tray 200 located at the preset position to the bearing assembly 22 in the transmission mechanism 20 through the material dividing mechanism 30. The bearing assembly 22 can carry the magnetic workpiece 300 and preliminarily position the magnetic workpiece 300. The bearing assembly 22 and the magnetic workpiece 300 can be transmitted to the positioning mechanism 40 through the transmission assembly 21. When the bearing assembly 22 moves to the position of the positioning mechanism 40, the positioning member 41 in the positioning mechanism 40 can clamp the magnetic workpiece 300 in the bearing assembly 22 to precisely position the magnetic workpiece 300. The conveying and positioning device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can automatically take out the magnetic workpiece 300 in the material tray 200, and transmit and position the magnetic workpiece 300, replacing manual work, reducing the labor intensity of manual work, improving work efficiency, and improving positioning accuracy.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveying and positioning device 100 also includes a material unloading mechanism 50, which includes a push assembly 51 and a material unloading plate 52. The push assembly 51 includes a push driving member 511 and a pushing member 512 connected to the push driving member 511. The push driving member 511 is arranged adjacent to the feeding mechanism 10 along the X-axis direction, and the pushing member 512 corresponds to the material tray 200 located at the preset position in the Z-axis direction. The material unloading plate 52 is arranged adjacent to the feeding mechanism 10 along the X-axis direction and away from the push driving member 511. The push driving member 511 drives the pushing member 512 to push the empty material tray 200 located at the preset position to the material unloading plate 52 for discharging.

[0070] The push driving member 511 may be a cylinder, etc., the pushing member 512 may be a plate-shaped structure, the unloading plate 52 may be a plate-shaped structure, and the unloading plate 52 may be arranged tilted downward, so that when the push driving member 511 pushes the empty material tray 200 onto the unloading plate 52 through the pushing plate, the material tray 200 may slide off the unloading plate 52. It is understood that the unloading plate 52 may be connected to a material collecting basket (not shown) or the like to collect the empty material trays 200.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The transmission assembly 21 includes a transmission drive 211 and a conveyor belt 212 connected to the transmission drive 211, and the transmission drive 211 drives the conveyor belt 212 to circulate. The transmission drive 211 can be a rotary cylinder, a rotary motor, etc., to drive the conveyor belt 212 to move, and then drive the bearing assembly 22 to move.

[0072] The supporting assembly 22 includes a supporting member 221 and a first magnetic member 222. The supporting member 221 is connected to the conveyor belt 212 at intervals along the X-axis direction. A plurality of limiting protrusions 2211 are arranged on the side of the supporting member 221 away from the conveyor belt 212. The plurality of limiting protrusions 2211 are arranged at intervals along the X-axis direction. The plurality of limiting protrusions 2211 are used to limit the magnetic workpiece 300 on the supporting member 221. The first magnetic member 222 is arranged in the supporting member 221 for adsorbing the magnetic workpiece 300 located on the supporting member 221.

[0073] The carrier 221 may be a block structure, and two, four, etc., limiting protrusions 2211 may be provided on each carrier 221, and every two limiting protrusions 2211 form a group, and each group of limiting protrusions 2211 is arranged at intervals along the X-axis direction, and may be symmetrical about the Y-axis direction, so that the limiting protrusions 2211 can limit the magnetic workpiece 300 in the X-axis direction. It can be understood that when the transmission component 21 drives the carrier 221 to move along the X-axis direction, the magnetic workpiece 300 will slide relative to the carrier 221 in the X-axis direction due to inertia, and by providing the limiting protrusions 2211, the magnetic workpiece 300 can be effectively limited to prevent the magnetic workpiece 300 from sliding during the movement of the carrier 221.

[0074] The first magnetic member 222 may be made of an iron material. When the magnetic workpiece 300 is placed on the carrier 221, the magnetic workpiece 300 may absorb the first magnetic member 222 to improve the stability of the magnetic workpiece 300 on the carrier 221. In one embodiment, the first magnetic member 222 may be an iron bolt, which is inserted into the carrier 221 and connected to the conveyor belt 212. In this case, the first magnetic member 222 is used to connect the carrier 221 and the conveyor belt 212 in addition to being used to absorb the magnetic workpiece 300.

[0075] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The material dispensing mechanism 30 includes a three-axis driving member 31 and a material taking assembly 32 connected to the three-axis driving member 31. The three-axis driving member 31 is arranged near the transmission mechanism 20. The three-axis driving member 31 is used to drive the material taking assembly 32 to move. The material taking assembly 32 is used to grab the magnetic workpiece 300 in the material tray 200 and place the magnetic workpiece 300 on the bearing assembly 22. The three-axis driving member 31 can be a structure composed of two linear modules and a telescopic cylinder. The three-axis driving member 31 can drive the material taking assembly 32 to move freely in the XYZ three-dimensional space, so that the material taking assembly 32 can take out the magnetic workpiece 300 from the material tray 200 and place the magnetic workpiece 300 on the bearing 221 on the conveyor belt.

[0076] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The material taking component 32 includes a partition 321, a telescopic driving member 322 and a second magnetic member 323. The partition 321 and the telescopic driving member 322 are both fixedly connected to the three-axis driving member 31. The second magnetic member 323 is connected to the telescopic driving member 322 and is movably inserted into the partition 321. The telescopic driving member 322 is used to drive the second magnetic member 323 to insert into or away from the partition 321, so as to adsorb the magnetic workpiece 300 when the second magnetic member 323 is inserted into the partition 321, and release the magnetic workpiece 300 when the second magnetic member 323 is away from the partition 321. The partition 321 is made of non-magnetic material to prevent the magnetic workpiece 300 from being adsorbed on the partition 321. The telescopic driving member 322 can be a telescopic cylinder, and the material of the second magnetic member 323 can be an iron material. When the material picking assembly 32 grabs the magnetic workpiece 300, the telescopic driving member 322 drives the second magnetic member 323 to insert into the partition 321, and then the three-axis driving member 31 drives the telescopic driving member 322 and the partition 321 to move to the material tray 200, so that the partition 321 abuts against the magnetic workpiece 300. At this time, the magnetic workpiece 300 absorbs the second magnetic member 323, and the magnetic workpiece 300 is caught. Then the three-axis driving member 31 drives the magnetic workpiece 300 to move to the carrier 221 through the material picking assembly 32, and the telescopic driving member 322 drives the second magnetic member 323 away from the partition 321, thereby separating the second magnetic member 323 and the magnetic workpiece 300, until the magnetic workpiece 300 no longer absorbs the second magnetic member 323, and at this time the material picking assembly 32 releases the magnetic workpiece 300.

[0077] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The positioning mechanism 40 also includes a lifting drive member 42 and a positioning drive member 43. The lifting drive member 42 is arranged near the end of the transmission component 21 along the X-axis direction. The positioning drive member 43 is connected to the lifting drive member 42. Multiple positioning members 41 are all connected to the positioning drive member 43 and one end of the multiple positioning members 41 away from the positioning drive member 43 is mounted above the transmission mechanism 20. When the supporting component 22 moves to correspond to the multiple positioning members 41, the lifting drive member 42 drives the positioning drive member 43 and the multiple positioning members 41 to move toward the supporting component 22. The positioning drive member 43 drives the multiple positioning members 41 to clamp the magnetic workpiece 300 in the supporting component 22 to position the magnetic workpiece 300.

[0078] The lifting drive 42 can be a lifting cylinder, etc., the positioning drive 43 can be a cylinder, and the positioning member 41 can be provided with two, four, etc. When the supporting member 221 moves to the position corresponding to the positioning member 41, the lifting drive 42 drives the positioning drive 43 to move downward, and the positioning drive 43 drives multiple positioning members 41 to move to the position corresponding to the magnetic workpiece 300 on the supporting member 221, and then the positioning drive 43 drives multiple positioning members 41 to synchronously clamp the magnetic workpiece 300, thereby completing the precise positioning of the magnetic workpiece 300.

[0079] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The positioning member 41 includes two first positioning members 411 and two second positioning members 412. The two first positioning members 411 are spaced apart along the Y-axis direction and are both connected to the positioning driving member 43. The two second positioning members 412 are spaced apart along the X-axis direction and are both connected to the positioning driving member 43. The positioning driving member 43 is used to drive the two first positioning members 411 to approach each other and drive the two second positioning members 412 to approach each other, so as to position the magnetic workpiece 300 on the carrier 221.

[0080] Thus, the magnetic workpiece 300 can be positioned in the Y-axis direction by the two first positioning members 411 , and the magnetic workpiece 300 can be positioned in the X-axis direction by the two first positioning members 411 , so that the magnetic workpiece 300 can be accurately positioned in the XY plane.

[0081] In one embodiment, the second positioning member 412 may be a square-shaped structure, and the conveyor belt 212 passes through the second positioning member 412, so that when the second positioning member 412 moves in the Z-axis direction, the conveyor belt 212 can be avoided. The limiting protrusion 2211 on the carrier 221 is provided with a avoiding opening 2212 corresponding to the second positioning member 412, and the avoiding opening 2212 is used to avoid the second positioning member 412 in the X-axis direction. The second positioning member 412 can pass through the avoiding opening 2212 and then abut the magnetic workpiece 300 to position the magnetic workpiece 300.

[0082] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The positioning mechanism 40 also includes a guide assembly 44, which is arranged on the side of the lifting drive member 42 close to the material distribution mechanism 30 along the X-axis direction. The guide assembly 44 includes two guide plates 441 arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 212 along the Y-axis direction. The two guide plates 441 are both extended along the X-axis direction, and the ends of the two guide plates 441 away from the lifting drive member 42 gradually approach each other along the X-axis direction. The two guide plates 441 are used to correct the position of the magnetic workpiece 300 on the bearing assembly 22. In this way, by setting two guide plates 441, the magnetic workpiece 300 on the bearing member 221 passing through the guide assembly can be further guided in the Y-axis direction to preliminarily correct the position of the magnetic workpiece 300 on the bearing member 221 in the Y-axis direction, so as to facilitate the first positioning member 411 to position the magnetic workpiece 300 accordingly.

[0083] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding mechanism 10 includes a first feeding assembly 11 and a second feeding assembly 12 connected to the first feeding assembly 11. The first feeding assembly 11 is used to move the second feeding assembly 12 to the lower side of a preset position. The second feeding assembly 12 is used to carry a plurality of trays 200. The second feeding assembly 12 is used to move the uppermost tray 200 among the plurality of trays 200 to the preset position. The first feeding assembly 11 may be a linear module, which is used to move the second feeding assembly 12 and the tray 200 to the lower side of a preset position in an XY plane. The second feeding assembly 12 may be a combination structure of a linear module and a carrier 121. The carrier 121 is used to carry the tray 200. The second feeding assembly 12 transfers the tray 200 along the Z-axis direction until the uppermost tray 200 among the plurality of trays 200 moves to the preset position.

[0084] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding mechanism 10 further includes a position sensor 13, which is mounted above the second feeding assembly 12 and is used to detect the position of the uppermost material tray 200 on the second feeding assembly 12. The position sensor 13 may be a beam-type infrared sensor, or other sensors that can detect the material tray 200. When the uppermost material tray 200 moves to a preset position along the Z-axis direction, the position sensor 13 detects the material tray 200 and sends a signal, and then the second feeding assembly 12 stops running.

[0085] The working process of the conveying and positioning device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is roughly as follows:

[0086] First, stack multiple material trays 200 on the second feeding component 12, the first feeding component 11 moves the second feeding component 12 and the multiple material trays 200 below the preset position, and the second feeding component 12 moves the multiple material trays 200 along the Z-axis direction until the topmost material tray 200 moves to the preset position.

[0087] Then, the material dispensing mechanism 30 starts to operate, the three-axis driving member 31 drives the material picking assembly 32 to move to the material tray 200, and makes the partition 321 of the material picking assembly 32 abut against the magnetic workpiece 300, and the telescopic driving member 322 drives the second magnetic member 323 to insert into the partition 321, at which time the magnetic workpiece 300 absorbs the second magnetic member 323, and the magnetic workpiece 300 is captured. Then the three-axis driving member 31 drives the magnetic workpiece 300 to move to the carrier 221 through the material picking assembly 32, and the telescopic driving member 322 drives the second magnetic member 323 away from the partition 321, thereby separating the second magnetic member 323 and the magnetic workpiece 300, until the magnetic workpiece 300 no longer absorbs the second magnetic member 323, at which time the material picking assembly 32 releases the magnetic workpiece 300.

[0088] The transmission component 21 transmits the carrier 221 and the magnetic workpiece 300 along the X-axis direction. When the carrier 221 passes through the guide component 44, the two guide plates 441 perform preliminary correction on the position of the magnetic workpiece 300 on the carrier 221 in the Y-axis direction. When the transmission component 21 drives the carrier 221 to move to correspond to the positioning mechanism 40, the transmission component 21 stops moving, the lifting drive 42 drives the positioning drive 43 and the plurality of positioning members 41 to move toward the magnetic workpiece 300 on the carrier 221, and the positioning drive 43 drives the two first positioning members 411 and the two second positioning members 412 to clamp the magnetic workpiece 300, so as to accurately position the magnetic workpiece 300.

[0089] Then, an external device (not shown) can remove the magnetic workpiece 300 on the carrier 221. When the carrier 221 is removed, the positioning drive 43 drives the two first positioning members 411 and the two second positioning members 412 to release the magnetic workpiece 300. After the magnetic workpiece 300 is removed, the transmission component 21 can be operated to move the next carrier 221 to the position of the positioning mechanism 40.
