[0027] As Figure 3 shown, the horizontal sliding conveying mechanism 400 includes a base 404. A driving motor 401 is fixed at one end of the base 404. The main shaft of the driving motor 401 is connected to one end of a transmission lead screw 407. The other end of the transmission lead screw 407 is rotatably mounted on a lead screw seat 405. Horizontal sliding dovetail cylinders 403 are respectively arranged on the base 404 on both sides of the transmission lead screw 407. Two horizontal sliding dovetail grooves 402 are installed on the two horizontal sliding dovetail cylinders 403. A horizontal sliding slider 406 is sleeved on the transmission lead screw 407. The base 404 is mainly composed of welded parts, and its main function is to connect other components and fix them to the ground, playing a role of support and leveling. The horizontal sliding dovetail cylinder 403 mainly plays a role of precise positioning and precise guiding, ensuring the horizontal movement accuracy of the part gripper assembly 200.

[0028] As Figure 4 and 5As shown, the vertical sliding mechanism 300 includes a vertical sliding bottom plate 301 whose bottom is respectively connected to the horizontal sliding slider 406 and the four horizontal sliding dovetail groove bodies 402. Symmetrically mounted on the top of the vertical sliding bottom plate 301 are vertical sliding supports 302. Mounted in the middle of the top of the vertical sliding bottom plate 301 is a vertical adjusting cylinder 306. The actuator end of the vertical adjusting cylinder 306 is connected to the top end of the vertical sliding frame 305. On the opposite sides of the two vertical sliding supports 302 are respectively mounted first vertical sliding dovetail groove bodies 307. Mounted on both sides of the vertical sliding frame 305 are vertical sliding dovetail columns 303 that can slide along the first vertical sliding dovetail groove bodies 307. Mounted at the top end of the side of the vertical sliding frame 305 away from the vertical adjusting cylinder 306 is a fine-tuning cylinder 308.

[0029] As Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the part gripper assembly 200 includes a part gripper support plate 201 whose bottom is connected to the actuator end of the fine-tuning cylinder 308. Mounted on the part gripper support plate 201 are a limit bracket 202 and a U-shaped support frame 203. Vertically and horizontally connected to both ends of the part gripper support plate 201 are a part gripper vertical plate 204 and a part gripper horizontal plate 207 respectively. On the opposite sides of the two part gripper vertical plates 204 are mounted second vertical sliding dovetail groove bodies 304 that can slide along the vertical sliding dovetail columns 303. Mounted on the side of the part gripper vertical plate 204 away from the second vertical sliding dovetail groove body 304 is a part gripper cylinder 205. Vertically fixed to both ends of the part gripper horizontal plate 207 are part gripper support vertical plates 209 respectively. Mounted on the outside of the part gripper support vertical plates 209 are vertical rods 210. Hinged at the top of the two vertical rods 210 is a Z-shaped claw 208 whose one end cooperates with the top of the part gripper support vertical plate 209. The other end of the Z-shaped claw 208 is hinged to one end of a drive rod 206. The other end of the drive rod 206 is hinged to the actuator end of the part gripper cylinder 205. The actuator ends of the two part gripper cylinders 205 drive the four drive rods 206 to move, and the four drive rods 206 respectively drive the 4 Z-shaped claws 208 to clamp four positions of the part.

[0030] Finally, introduce the batch bin 100. As Figure 8As shown in the figure, it includes a U-shaped bin support frame 101 installed at the edge of the base 404. There are four support rods 103 mounted on the top of the U-shaped bin support frame 101 to form three groups of bins.

Part support frames 104 are respectively installed on the support rods 103 on both sides of a single group of bins and on the top of the U-shaped bin support frame 101. The blanking separation cylinders 102 correspond to the three groups of batch bins. When the lowest part falls from the bin, the blanking separation cylinders are responsible for separating the lowermost part from the stacked parts in the upper layer. The parts are guided along the support rods 103 from above the bins and placed into the bins, and the parts are taken away by the automatic motion mechanism composed of the horizontal sliding conveying mechanism 400, the vertical sliding mechanism 300, and the part gripper assembly 200 from below the bins and placed at the designated position.

[0031] The working process is as follows:

[0032] 1. Load parts into the batch bin 100 in batches. When there are parts in any one of the three groups of bins, a signal will be fed back.

[0033] 2. The two-way motion mechanism composed of the vertical sliding mechanism 300 and the horizontal sliding conveying mechanism 400 will send the part gripper assembly 200 to below the bin with parts according to the signal fed back by the bin. When there are parts in all three groups of bins, the principle of proximity will be followed.

[0034] 3. When the part gripper assembly 200 reaches the part-gripping position, the sensor on the gripper detects the signal The cylinders (x2) will then retract and clamp, and at the same time, a signal will be fed back.

[0035] 4. When the two-way motion mechanism composed of B. the horizontal sliding conveying mechanism and C. the vertical sliding mechanism receives the signals fed back by the two part gripper cylinders 205, it starts to move and send the parts to the designated position. After arriving, the mechanism will feed back a signal.

[0036] 5. When receiving the signal fed back from the designated position, the two part gripper cylinders 205 will extend and open.

[0037] 6. The part removal port will then enter the next cycle.
