Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the application of tray splitting, which is applied to the work of stacking tray splitting of automatic equipment, in particular to a stacking tray splitting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the automation industry, for example, the tray stacking technology is widely used. However, during the operation of an automatic machine, usually only one tray needs to flow in for operation. At this time, it is necessary to split the trays to meet the production requirements. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a stacking tray splitting mechanism, which is the key for the tray stacking technology to be successfully applied to automatic equipment and an important mechanism connecting the storage bin and the equipment. This mechanism can accurately and continuously separate the stacked trays into individual trays to ensure the continuous, stable and efficient operation of the automatic machine.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0005] A stacking tray splitting mechanism includes a tray outer frame module 01, a tray support module 02 and a tray feeding module 03. Among them, four groups of tray support modules 02 are installed at the four corners of the tray outer frame module 01; a set of tray feeding modules 03 are arranged between two groups of tray support modules 02 on the same side, and the tray feeding modules 03 are installed at the middle parts of both sides of the tray outer frame module 01.

[0006] The working principle of the stacking tray splitting mechanism is as follows: The stacked trays are in the tray outer frame module 01. Due to gravity, the trays will be supported by the tray support module 02. After the automatic equipment sends a material request instruction to this mechanism, the tray feeding module 03 will lift up all the trays except the bottommost tray. In this way, the bottommost tray is separated separately and waits for the automatic equipment to take away the bottommost tray. After the bottommost tray is taken away, the tray feeding module 03 will put down the lifted trays and return to the original position.

[0007] The utility model also has the following additional technical features:

[0008] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of the utility model: in the tray support module 02, the switch rib L102, the switch rib R103, the fixed rib L104 and the fixed rib R105 are installed on the bottom plate 101 of the silo. The switch rib L102 and the switch rib R103 are both equipped with a multi-position fixed cylinder 106, which can open the switch rib outward to facilitate loading. The fixed rib L104 and the fixed rib R105 are both equipped with a photoelectric sensor 107 for sensing whether the number of trays is insufficient. When the height of the tray reaches a position that the photoelectric sensor 107 cannot sense, it means that the number of trays is insufficient. At this time, the mechanism transmits this signal to the automation equipment, and the equipment sends a warning signal to remind the operator to add trays.

[0009] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of the utility model: in the material tray dividing module 03, the two material tray support blocks 203 are respectively installed on the two first slide cylinders 202, and the first slide cylinder 202 is installed on the material tray support module bracket 201; the material tray support module bracket 201 is also equipped with a material dividing unit; when the material tray dividing module 03 returns to its original position, the material tray support block 203 supports the material tray under the extension action of the first slide cylinder 202.

[0010] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of the utility model: in the material distribution unit, the three-axis cylinder 302 is installed on the bottom plate 301 of the material tray distribution module, the second slide cylinder 304 is installed on the three-axis cylinder 302 through the slide cylinder fixing plate 303, and the material distribution block 305 is installed on the second slide cylinder 304. After receiving the material distribution instruction, the second slide cylinder 304 extends, driving the material distribution block 305 to insert into the gap between the last material tray and the second material tray, and then the three-axis cylinder 302 extends to lift up the material trays except the bottom material tray to complete the material distribution. When the bottom material tray is taken away, the three-axis cylinder 302 retracts, puts down the remaining material trays, the second slide cylinder 304 retracts, and the module returns to its original state.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] The utility model has a sensing function, which can promptly remind relevant personnel to replenish the material tray when the material tray is about to run out, so as to ensure production efficiency and speed; the utility model can produce modules of corresponding sizes according to different material tray sizes to be compatible with more products; in some scenarios, the tray separation mechanism can add a Z-axis servo lifting module to perform tray separation operations from above to meet more usage scenarios.

[0013] The utility model can accurately and continuously separate the stacked material trays into single material trays. The mechanism can have strong compatibility and can improve the versatility of the mechanism by adding different functional modules to ensure the production efficiency of the automated machine.

[0019] Hereinafter, the exemplary embodiments disclosed by the present utility model will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

[0020] Embodiment 1

[0021] A stacked tray separating mechanism, as Figure 1 shown, includes an outer frame module 01 of the tray, a tray support module 02, and a tray material separating module 03; wherein, four groups of tray support modules 02 are installed at the four corners of the outer frame module 01 of the tray; between two groups of tray support modules 02 on the same side, a group of tray material separating modules 03 are provided, and the tray material separating modules 03 are installed at the middle parts of both sides of the outer frame module 01 of the tray.

[0022] The working principle of the stacked tray separating mechanism is: the stacked trays are in the outer frame module 01 of the tray. Due to gravity, the trays will be supported by the tray support modules 02. After the automation equipment sends a material request instruction to this mechanism, the tray material separating modules 03 will lift up all the trays except the bottommost tray together, so that the bottommost tray is separated alone and waits for the automation equipment to take away the bottommost tray. When the bottommost tray is taken away, the tray material separating modules 03 will put down the lifted trays and return to the original position.

[0023] In the tray support module 02, as Figure 2As shown, the switch rib L102, switch rib R103, fixed rib L104 and fixed rib R105 are installed on the silo bottom plate 101. The switch rib L102 and the switch rib R103 are both equipped with a multi-position fixed cylinder 106, which can open the switch rib outwards to facilitate loading. The fixed rib L104 and the fixed rib R105 are both equipped with a photoelectric sensor 107 to sense whether the number of trays is insufficient. When the height of the tray reaches a position that the photoelectric sensor 107 cannot sense, it means that the number of trays is insufficient. At this time, the mechanism transmits this signal to the automation equipment, and the equipment sends a warning signal to remind the operator to add trays.

[0024] In the material tray distributing module 03, Figure 3 As shown, two tray support blocks 203 are respectively installed on two first slide cylinders 202, and the first slide cylinder 202 is installed on the tray support module bracket 201; a material distribution unit is also installed on the tray support module bracket 201; when the tray distribution module 03 returns to its original position, the tray support block 203 supports the tray under the extension action of the first slide cylinder 202.

[0025] In the material distribution unit, Figure 4 As shown, the three-axis cylinder 302 is installed on the bottom plate 301 of the material tray distributing module, the second slide cylinder 304 is installed on the three-axis cylinder 302 through the slide cylinder fixing plate 303, and the material distributing block 305 is installed on the second slide cylinder 304. After receiving the material distributing instruction, the second slide cylinder 304 extends, driving the material distributing block 305 to insert into the gap between the last material tray and the second material tray, and then the three-axis cylinder 302 extends to lift up the material trays except the bottom material tray to complete the material distributing. When the bottom material tray is taken away, the three-axis cylinder 302 retracts, puts down the remaining material trays, and the second slide cylinder 304 retracts, and the module returns to its original state.

[0026] An operating method of a stacked tray separation mechanism:

[0027] The stacked trays are in the tray outer frame module 01. Due to gravity, the trays are supported by the tray support module 02. After the automation equipment sends a material request instruction to this mechanism, the tray dividing module 03 will lift up the remaining trays except the bottom tray, so that the bottom tray is separated separately and waits for the automation equipment to take away the bottom tray. When the bottom tray is taken away, the tray dividing module 03 will put down the lifted tray and return it to its original position.

[0028] When the height of the tray reaches a position where the photoelectric 107 cannot sense it, it means that the number of trays is insufficient. At this time, the mechanism transmits this signal to the automation equipment, and the equipment sends a warning signal to remind the operator to add trays.

[0029] When the tray material distribution module 03 returns to the original position, it is supported by the extension action of the first sliding table cylinder 202 of the tray support block 203 to support the tray.

[0030] After receiving the material distribution instruction, the second sliding table cylinder 304 extends, driving the material distribution block 305 to insert into the gap between the last tray and the second tray. Then the three-axis cylinder 302 extends to lift the trays except the bottommost tray to complete the material distribution. After the bottommost tray is taken away, the three-axis cylinder 302 retracts to lower the remaining trays, and the second sliding table cylinder 304 retracts, and the module returns to the original position.
