Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic mechanical equipment, in particular to a blowing structure for a transfer mechanism. Background Art

[0002] An automatic transfer mechanism is a device used for handling and conveying workpieces or materials on an automated production line, which can greatly improve production efficiency and product quality and reduce labor costs. Generally, automatic transfer mechanisms can be divided into two types: manipulators and robots.

[0003] Manipulator automatic transfer mechanisms are mainly applied in fields such as stamping and forging. They can replace manual labor in tasks such as loading and unloading workpieces, thereby improving production efficiency. With the continuous progress of stamping automation technology, the forms of manipulator automatic transfer mechanisms are also constantly changing. For example, the parallelogram manipulator structure widely used at the end of the 20th century has been replaced by high-speed and stable single-arm or double-arm crossbar transfer mechanisms.

[0004] Robot automatic transfer mechanisms still have a certain application space in the transformation of old production lines and production lines with lower speeds and less investment due to their own characteristics. For example, in the process of chip sorting, robots can perform all tasks of loading, unloading, and transferring workpieces. Compared with traditional transfer mechanisms, robots can more effectively solve problems such as short transfer distances, complex structures, and unstable use.

[0005] Based on this, Chinese Patent CN104016125A discloses an automatic transfer mechanism. A bottom plate is fixedly installed on the upper part of a bottom plate fixing block; a motor mounting seat is fixed on the bottom plate, and a motor mounting plate is installed on the motor mounting seat. The upper end of the motor mounting plate is connected to a speed reducer; a servo motor is connected to the speed reducer, and the front end of the speed reducer is connected to a connecting plate of a moving mechanism through a coupling; the moving mechanism is connected to a grasping mechanism through a shaft fixing block. When the servo motor operates, it drives a linear guide slider to move up and down on a linear guide through the connecting plate. At the same time, the linear guide moves on a slide rail, converting rotational motion into linear motion. Positioning devices are respectively provided at positions a and b of the product. First, the product is positioned through the positioning device at positions a and b, and then the grasping mechanism moves to position a of the product to perform grasping. At the same time, other mechanisms grasp and move the product at position b. Then, the product at position a moves to position b of the product, and the positioning device at position b of the product positions the product at position a. This process is repeated to achieve the purpose of grasping and moving.

[0006] However, the above-disclosed automatic transfer mechanism still has technical problems such as unsmooth movement during the movement process or easy generation of shaking. Specifically, the working principle of the automatic transfer mechanism disclosed in the existing patent is as follows: The servo motor operates, and drives the linear guide slider to move up and down on the linear guide through the connecting plate; at the same time, the linear guide moves on the slide rail, converting the rotational motion into a linear motion, so as to achieve the purpose of reciprocating motion within a preset distance. However, when this mechanism that converts rotational motion into linear motion transfers workpieces with a relatively large weight or volume, there will be situations where the movement is interfered or the movement is not smooth. And the method of driving the gear by the servo motor and then meshing the gear with the straight rack to convert the rotational motion into the actuating motion is a feasible solution to solve the problem of the smooth transfer of heavy-duty workpieces. However, during the multiple cyclic reciprocating motions of the workpiece, sundries are likely to fall onto the straight rack, and then abnormal actions occur when the gear meshes with the straight rack, causing the transfer mechanism to shake.

[0009] Further, the blowing structure has a blowing hanger, a blowing connection block, and a blowing working part.

[0010] Furthermore, the blowing hanger is connected to the bottom of the transfer structure adjacent to the power mechanism, the blowing connection block respectively connects the blowing working part and the blowing hanger, and the blowing working part is arranged below the rack structure.

Therefore, a blowing structure for a transfer mechanism of the present utility model solves the technical problem of how to improve the movement smoothness of the transfer mechanism.

These are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0027] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of the present utility model, "a plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0028] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified or defined, terms such as "installation", "connection", "linkage", "fixation", etc. shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral body; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly defined. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified or defined, the first feature being "on" or "under" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium.

[0030] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may also be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "up", "down", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration and do not represent the only implementation.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , a blowing structure for a transfer mechanism of the present utility model includes: a base body 1, a guiding structure 2, a transfer structure 3, a power mechanism 4, a rack structure 5 and a blowing structure 6; the guiding structure 2 is disposed on the base body 1, the transfer structure 3 is movably disposed above the base body 1, and the guiding structure 2 is respectively connected to the transfer structure 3 and the base body 1; the power mechanism 4 is connected below the transfer structure 3, the rack structure 5 is connected to the side of the base body 1, and the power mechanism 4 is drivingly connected to the rack structure 5; the blowing structure 6 is connected to the transfer structure 3, the blowing structure 6 is respectively adjacent to the power mechanism 4 and the rack structure 5, and the blowing structure 6 is disposed below the rack structure 5.

[0032] Specifically, when the blowing structure for a transfer mechanism of the utility model is in the working process, the power mechanism 4 can move relative to the rack structure 5, so that the rotational motion output by the power mechanism 4 is converted into a linear motion advancing along the rack structure 5. More specifically, the transfer structure 3 is connected to the power mechanism 4. Thus, when the power mechanism 4 moves relative to the rack structure 5, the transfer structure 3 can move following the power mechanism 4. The guiding structure 2 is connected between the transfer structure 3 and the seat body 1 and serves as a guiding and sliding structure when the transfer structure 3 advances, so that the transfer structure 3 moves more smoothly and labor - saving. Further, in order to prevent debris and other sundries from falling into the rack structure 5 during the repeated work process, the blowing structure 6 is arranged on the adjacent side of the power mechanism 4 and the rack structure 5, and the blowing structure 6 moves following the transfer structure 3 or the power mechanism 4. Further, the blowing structure 6 can be connected to an external air source, so that aerosol can be ejected as required in the blowing structure 6. Firstly, the aerosol can lubricate the rack structure 5 to make the power of meshing transmission smoother. Secondly, the aerosol can also blow away the accumulated chips on the rack structure 5 to avoid interference in the meshing action. That is to say, the blowing structure for a transfer mechanism of the utility model can improve the motion smoothness between the moving parts of the transfer mechanism by lubricating and cleaning the rack as required.

[0033] Further, the blowing structure 6 has a blowing hanger 601, a blowing connection block 602 and a blowing working part 603. The blowing hanger 601 is connected to the bottom of the transfer structure 3 adjacent to the power mechanism 4. The blowing connection block 602 connects the blowing working part 603 and the blowing hanger 601 respectively. The blowing working part 603 is arranged below the rack structure 5. Specifically, the blowing hanger 601 and the blowing connection block 602 can enable the blowing working part 603 to achieve the purpose of moving following the transfer structure 3 or the power mechanism 4.

[0034] Furthermore, the blowing working part 603 has a blowing main body structure 603a, an air duct structure 603b and an inlay structure 603c. The blowing main body structure 603a is connected to the blowing connection block 602. The air duct structure 603b and the inlay structure 603c are respectively arranged in the blowing main body structure 603a. The air duct structure 603b is arranged opposite to the rack structure 5. The inlay structure 603c is arranged below the air duct structure 603b. Specifically, the input pipeline of the external air source can be connected to the inlay structure 603c. Thus, the external aerosol can enter from the bottom of the air duct structure 603b and be ejected to the surface of the rack structure 5 from its top to achieve the functions of lubrication and chip cleaning.

[0035] Further, please refer back to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a schematic diagram of the connection structure of the air blowing working part 603. The air blowing structure 6 is further provided with an oil mist device structure 604; the oil mist device structure 604 is arranged in the external environment, and the air blowing working part 603 is communicated with the oil mist device structure 604 through a pipeline structure. The inside of the oil mist device structure 604 is pre-filled with pneumatic oil or gear oil. After the pneumatic oil or gear oil is atomized by the oil mist device structure 604, the liquid oil can form an oil mist, and the oil mist is transmitted through the external pipeline structure and blown out from the air duct structure 603b and blown onto the surface of the rack structure 5. While cleaning the rack structure 5, the oil mist can also fully lubricate the surface of the rack structure 5.

[0036] Further, the power mechanism 4 includes a power machine hanger 401, a speed reducer 402, a power machine 403, an output shaft 404 and a gear structure 405; the power machine hanger 401 is connected to the bottom of the transfer structure 3, the speed reducer 402 is arranged on the side of the power machine hanger 401, and the power machine 403 is power-connected to the speed reducer 402; the output shaft 404 is power-connected to the speed reducer 402, the gear structure 405 is arranged on the other side of the power machine hanger 401 relative to the speed reducer 402, the output shaft 404 is power-connected to the gear structure 405, and the gear structure 405 is meshed and connected to the rack structure 5. Specifically, after the power machine 403 is powered on and started, it can output power to the speed reducer 402. After the speed reducer 402 adjusts to a suitable speed and torque, the power is then transmitted to the output shaft 404 to drive the gear structure 405 to rotate. The gear structure 405 is meshed and connected to the rack structure 5, and the rack structure 5 is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the seat body 1. Therefore, when the gear structure 405 rotates, it can move relatively along the meshing side of the rack structure 5 through meshing transmission; when the gear structure 405 moves, it can drive the transfer structure 3 to move accordingly through the power machine hanger 401. More specifically, the transfer structure 3 can be a tray-shaped supporting structure for supporting workpieces; the transfer structure 3 can also be a part of a manipulator for a linear transplanting structure.

[0037] Furthermore, the guiding structure 2 has a number of supporting blocks 201, a number of sliding blocks 202, and a slider guide rail structure 203; a number of the supporting blocks 201 are evenly distributed and arranged at the bottom of the transfer structure 3, and each of the supporting blocks 201 is correspondingly connected to a sliding block 202 below it, and each of the sliding blocks 202 is movably connected to the slider guide rail structure 203; the slider guide rail structure 203 is arranged on the base body 1. Specifically, when the transfer structure 3 moves, it can realize the function of smooth and fluent movement through the sliding connection relationship between the sliding block 202 and the slider guide rail structure 203.

[0038] Specifically, the base body 1 is the base structure of a blowing structure for a transfer mechanism of the present utility model, and it serves as the chassis for carrying various components. At least two of the slider guide rail structures 203 are oppositely arranged above the base body 1, and the two slider guide rail structures 203 are arranged oppositely, and a transfer structure 3 straddles the two slider guide rail structures 203; several groups of the slider guide rail structures 203 can be arranged at intervals on the base body 1, and a transfer structure 3 can be provided on each of the two slider guide rail structures 203, so that multiple groups of workpieces can be reciprocally transferred simultaneously and without interference.

[0039] In summary, a blowing structure for a transfer mechanism of the present utility model is respectively provided with a base body 1, a guiding structure 2, a transfer structure 3, a power mechanism 4, a rack structure 5, and a blowing structure 6; the guiding structure 2 is arranged on the base body 1, the transfer structure 3 is movably arranged above the base body 1, and the guiding structure 2 is respectively connected to the transfer structure 3 and the base body 1; the power mechanism 4 is connected below the transfer structure 3, the rack structure 5 is connected to the side surface of the base body 1, and the power mechanism 4 is drivingly connected to the rack structure 5; the blowing structure 6 is connected to the transfer structure 3, the blowing structure 6 is respectively adjacent to the power mechanism 4 and the rack structure 5, and the blowing structure 6 is arranged below the rack structure 5. The blowing structure 6 is communicated with an external air source so that the blowing structure 6 can spray out aerosol as required; on the one hand, the aerosol can lubricate the rack structure 5 to make the power of meshing transmission smoother; on the other hand, the aerosol can also blow away the accumulated chips on the rack structure 5 to avoid interference in the meshing action. That is to say, a blowing structure for a transfer mechanism of the present utility model can improve the movement smoothness between the moving parts of the transfer mechanism by lubricating and cleaning the rack as required. Therefore, a blowing structure for a transfer mechanism of the present utility model solves the technical problem of how to improve the movement smoothness of the transfer mechanism.

[0040] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0041] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
