[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0030] Please see attached Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown: A quick alignment device, including a quick-connect bracket 1, a steel sheet feeding component 2 and an injection molded product unloading mechanism 3. The quick-connect bracket 1 serves as the basic frame of the entire device, providing stable installation and support for other components. The quick-connect bracket 1 is symmetrically and freely movable with a steel sheet feeding component 2, which is used to cooperate with an industrial robot to achieve rapid and flexible adaptation and positioning of the industrial robot end effector; the front of the steel sheet feeding component 2 is movably provided with an injection molded product unloading mechanism 3 along the width direction of the quick-connect bracket 1, and is also prepared for the next injection molding.

[0031] Based on the above embodiment, the steel sheet feeding component 2 includes a feeding bottom plate 21 , a sealing cover plate 22 , an elastic component and a positioning column component 23 .

[0032] Among them: the loading base plate 21 is floatingly set at the bottom of the quick-connect bracket 1, and the contoured protrusion integrally formed at the bottom can match the shape of the steel sheet to be loaded, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of loading. The suction cup embedded inside the contoured protrusion generates adsorption force through the negative pressure air path, and firmly adsorbs the steel sheet on the loading base plate 21; the sealing cover plate 22 is embedded on the loading base plate 21, and together with the loading base plate 21, it forms a closed space to provide protection for the operation of the negative pressure air path; the elastic component adopts a spring and is installed between the loading base plate 21 and the quick-connect bracket 1. The spring can provide a certain buffering and reset effect, so that the loading base plate 21 is more stable during the movement process, and can automatically reset after completing the loading action; it includes a positioning bead set on a spherical surface at one end, and a support surface is provided on one side of the positioning bead for point contact. A plurality of positioning column assemblies 23 are distributed between the loading base plate 21 and the quick-connect bracket 1, which can accurately limit the movement range and position of the loading base plate 21 to ensure the accuracy of steel sheet loading; the two ends of the loading base plate 21 are symmetrically provided with second positioning holes 211 that penetrate through.

[0033] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the injection molded product unloading mechanism 3 comprises a transverse driving component 31 and a grabbing component 32; the transverse driving component 31 can drive the grabbing component 32 to move back and forth.

[0034] Among them: the lateral drive component 31 adopts a rodless cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the quick-connect bracket 1 through a cylinder mounting plate. The rodless cylinder has the advantages of compact structure and space saving, and can provide a stable lateral driving force for the grabbing component 32. Sensors are provided at the beginning and end positions of the rodless cylinder to detect the position of the grabbing component 32 to achieve precise control. The grabbing component 32 includes a grabbing base fixedly connected to the output end of the rodless cylinder. The grabbing base moves laterally with the action of the rodless cylinder; the lifting cylinder arranged on the top of the grabbing base can drive the lifting mounting seat to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the grabbing finger cylinder to adapt to the grabbing requirements of injection molded products of different heights; the grabbing finger cylinders arranged in an array on one side of the lifting mounting seat can move independently to achieve flexible grabbing and release of the injection molded products.

[0035] On the basis of the above embodiment, the quick alignment device further comprises an L-shaped limiter assembly 4; the L-shaped limiter assembly is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the quick-connect bracket 1, and one end of the L-shaped limiter assembly hooks the lower surface of the steel sheet feeding component 2. The L-shaped limiter assembly 4 is provided with a second positioning column 41; the second positioning column 41 is movably inserted in the second positioning hole 211.

[0037] 1. Steel sheet feeding process

[0038] The steel sheet is placed on the loading bottom plate 21, the negative pressure air circuit is started, and the suction cup absorbs the steel sheet.

[0039] Since the loading base plate 21 can move freely, under the guidance of an external driving force or a mechanical structure, the loading base plate 21 moves the steel sheet to a designated position, and the positioning column assembly 23 and the elastic assembly work together to ensure the accuracy of the position of the steel sheet.

[0040] 2. Injection molding finished product unloading process

[0041] The lateral driving assembly 31 works to drive the grabbing assembly 32 to move to the position of the injection molded product.

[0042] Lift the cylinder to adjust the height of the gripping finger cylinder so that it is aligned with the injection molded product.

[0043] The gripping finger cylinder moves to grab the injection molded product.

[0044] The transverse drive assembly 31 moves again, moving the grabbing assembly 32 together with the injection molded product to the unloading position, and the grabbing finger cylinder is released to complete the unloading.

[0045] During the entire working process, the steel sheet feeding component 2 and the injection molded product unloading mechanism 3 cooperate with each other to achieve fast and accurate positioning and unloading operations, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0046] In summary, the rapid alignment device of the utility model has the advantages of fast alignment speed, high precision, strong adaptability, simple operation and high production efficiency, and can effectively improve the automation level of the production process and product quality.
