Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mechanical parts fixtures, and more specifically, to an auxiliary manipulator loading device. Background Art

[0002] During the automated processing of bathroom equipment parts, production lines often use robots to pick up parts from a material tray containing parts to be processed for processing. In conventional production lines, the work of feeding the robot is often done manually. The worker first takes down the empty tray, and then places the tray containing the material to be processed in a preset position for the robot to pick up. However, in the actual production process, if the material tray is not replaced, the robot must stop and wait if it manually places the parts to be processed one by one into the tray after the material is loaded. If the material tray is replaced, the material tray full of parts to be processed is heavy, so it takes a long time for manual replacement, stacking, and positioning, and the robot also needs to wait, which reduces the production line speed.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN110540066A discloses a stacking lifting feeding device. Through the switching and coordination between the two working positions of the supporting mechanism and the lifting mechanism, this structure can provide sufficient time for the manual stacking of material trays, thereby improving production efficiency. However, it is through lifting the material tray filled with parts to be processed close to the ground to the loading area, which is still inconvenient for workers to perform loading operations. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a device that workers can save effort and have ample time to stack material trays or parts to be processed. The robot does not need to stop and wait, thereby improving loading efficiency and saving labor. Utility Model Content

[0004] One purpose of the utility model is to provide an auxiliary manipulator loading device, which can eliminate the waiting time of the manipulator when manually changing the plate, so that the loading efficiency is improved and labor is saved.

[0012] The utility model at least has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The auxiliary manipulator loading equipment provided by the utility model uses an upper and lower double-layer double-stage structure, and material trays are placed on the stages. When the manipulator clamps the workpiece in the material tray on one of the stages, the worker has sufficient time to stack the workpiece in an empty material tray on the other stage, or directly replace the new material tray full of workpieces to be processed on the other stage. After all the workpieces to be processed in the material tray on the unloading stage are clamped and taken out, the front and rear positions of the two stages can be immediately replaced. During the whole process, the manipulator does not need to wait for manual loading, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the technical solution of the present application provides an auxiliary manipulator loading equipment, including: an equipment bracket 1, which includes several bracket columns 10, two first main beams 11, and two second main beams 12, the first main beam 11 is parallel to the second main beam 12, the first main beam 11 and the second main beam 12 are fixed to the bracket column 10, the distance between the two first main beams 11 is greater than the distance between the two second main beams 12, and the top surface of the first main beam 11 is higher than the top surface of the second main beam 12; a first placement table 3, which is supported by the two first main beams 11, and the first placement table 3 moves along the first main beam 11 under external force; a second placement table 4, which is supported by the two second main beams 12, and the second placement table 4 moves along the second main beam 12 under external force, wherein the first placement table 3 does not make contact with the second placement table 4 when traveling. In the present technical solution, the first placement table 3 and the second placement table 4 do not make contact when traveling. The two storage tables 4 are movable tables that can carry material trays 7. The first storage table 3 and the second storage table 4 can realize linear movement under the action of external force through their own walking devices or by arranging track devices on the first main beam 11 and the second main beam 12. Since the top surface of the first main beam 11 is higher than the second main beam 12, and the distance between the two first main beams 11 is greater than the distance between the two second main beams 12, the first storage table 3 and the second storage table 4 are vertically staggered and when each is moved by an external force, the two and the material trays 7 carried by each do not collide. One end of the moving range of the first storage table 3 and the second storage table 4 can be regarded as a loading area, and the other end is a preparation area. When any storage table is in the loading area, the robot clamps material from the material tray 7 on which the workpiece to be processed is placed. At this time, the other storage table can be moved to the preparation area for manual preparation.

[0026] In the present technical scheme, when the first storage table 3 and the second storage table 4 move to the front of the first main beam 11 and the second main beam 12 and closest to the manipulator, it can be regarded as entering the loading area of ​​the manipulator. The operator first places the fully loaded material tray 7 on any storage table and pushes it to the loading area. While the manipulator is performing the loading operation, the operator replaces the empty material tray 7 on another storage table and places the next fully loaded material tray 7 on it, or directly stacks the bulk workpieces to be processed on the empty material tray 7 on the storage table. When the materials in the material tray 7 in the loading area are all taken away by the manipulator, the operator pulls back the storage table in the loading area and pushes the storage table with the fully loaded material tray 7 forward to the loading area. The manipulator does not need to wait and can continue to perform loading operations. During the whole process, the manipulator no longer needs to wait for manual loading, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

[0027] In another technical solution, a first rail 21 is fixed to the top surface of the first main beam 11, a second rail 22 is fixed to the top surface of the second main beam 12, a plurality of first rail shoes 31 are fixed to the bottom surface of the first storage platform 3, the first rail shoes 31 are matched and inserted into the first rail 21, a plurality of second rail shoes 41 are fixed to the bottom surface of the second storage platform 4, the second rail shoes 41 are matched and inserted into the second rail 22, a support column 30 is fixedly connected between the first storage platform 3 and each first rail shoe 31, in this technical solution, the first rail shoe 31 and the second rail shoe 41 are respectively inserted into the first rail 21 and the second rail 22 and can only be linearly translated along the corresponding rails, the first storage platform 3 and the second storage platform 4 move along the rails and cannot leave the rails, in order to prevent the two storage platforms and the material trays 7 carried thereon from colliding during the staggered movement, a support column 30 is connected between the first storage platform 3 and the first rail shoe 31 to increase the height of the first storage platform 3.

[0028] In another technical solution, a first cylinder 6 is fixed to the outside of the equipment support 1, and its piston rod is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 61 upwards, and the connecting plate 61 is connected to the first storage table 3. A second cylinder 5 is fixed in the equipment support 1, and its piston rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second storage table 4. In this technical solution, the cylinder seat of the first cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the equipment support 1, and the piston rod of the first cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the first storage table 3 through the connecting plate 61. The first cylinder 6 drives the first storage table 3 to translate on the first track 21 by telescopic piston rod. The cylinder seat of the second cylinder 5 is fixed on the equipment support 1, and the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 5 is connected to the bottom surface of the second storage table 4. The second cylinder 5 drives the second storage table 4 to translate on the second track 22 by telescoping its piston rod.

[0029] In another technical solution, the equipment bracket 1 is fixedly connected to a limit plate 8, and the limit plate 8 is at the ends of the first rail 21 and the second rail 22. The limit plate 8 is installed at both ends of the equipment bracket 1 to prevent the first storage table 3 and the second storage table 4 from escaping from the corresponding rails.

[0030] In another technical solution, a plurality of elastic buffer blocks 81 are fixed on the limit plate 8, and the elastic buffer blocks 81 correspond one-to-one to the first track shoe 31 and the second track shoe 41.

[0031] In another technical solution, a plurality of material tray limiting posts 70 are fixed on the first placement table 3 and the second placement table 4. The size and setting position of the material tray limiting posts 70 match the shape of the material tray 7.
