Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of blanking equipment, and particularly relates to a board receiving mechanism. Background Art

[0002] During the blanking process of a thermal printing head substrate, in order to achieve automation, generally a manipulator is used to transfer the substrate from a conveyor belt to a material trough. In this process, the manipulator is likely to collide with the process surface of the substrate, resulting in a certain degree of damage to the substrate; in addition, there is also a problem of mutual friction and collision between different substrates in the existing blanking equipment during the board receiving process, resulting in a high defective product rate and relatively low production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model discloses a board receiving mechanism, aiming to improve the problems mentioned above.

Among them, the lifting and transverse reciprocating board storage mechanism is connected to the board receiving and feeding conveying and positioning mechanism and the transverse transfer and front feeding and displacement mechanism to successively transport the substrates at the board receiving and feeding conveying and positioning mechanism to the transverse transfer and front feeding and displacement mechanism. The transverse transfer and front feeding and displacement mechanism is adapted to transport the substrate to the working position of the board receiving manipulator so that the board receiving manipulator can successively place the substrates into the shuttle; the empty shuttle feeding system is adapted to successively convey the empty shuttles to the shuttle lifting device. The shuttle lifting device is located on one side of the board receiving manipulator and is provided with a lifting component for controlling the shuttle to gradually rise to the working area of the board receiving manipulator. The board receiving manipulator is adapted to cooperate with the lifting component to successively place the substrates into the shuttle. The shuttle is adapted to be transported to the next working station through the full shuttle storage position system after being filled with substrates.

[0006] Further, the board receiving and feeding conveying and positioning mechanism includes a limiting plate, a first longitudinal driving roller, and a first transverse driving roller. The first longitudinal driving roller is adapted to longitudinally drive the substrate until it is positioned by the limiting plate; the first transverse driving roller is adapted to rotate after the substrate is positioned by the limiting plate to drive the substrate to the lifting and transverse reciprocating board storage mechanism.

[0007] Further, the lifting and transverse reciprocating storage plate mechanism includes a storage plate and a plurality of placement plates. A jacking device is arranged below each placement plate to jack the placement plate to a height higher than that of the storage plate, so as to jack up the substrate placed on the storage plate and the first transverse transmission roller closest to the lifting and transverse reciprocating storage plate mechanism; a plurality of the jacking devices are commonly connected to a telescopic assembly. The telescopic assembly is adapted to drive all the jacking devices to move one substrate position in the direction of the transverse transfer and pre-feed displacement mechanism after the jacking devices jack up the placement plates, and drive all the jacking devices to move back one substrate position in the direction of the plate receiving and feeding conveying and positioning mechanism after the jacking devices drive the placement plates to descend.

[0008] Further, the plate receiving manipulator includes a mechanical arm, a moving mechanism and a lifting driving mechanism. The mechanical arm is connected to the moving mechanism to carry the substrate on the mechanical arm into the shuttle; the lifting driving mechanism is adapted to drive the moving mechanism to lift up and down to lift the substrate on the transverse transfer and pre-feed displacement mechanism, and can drive the moving mechanism to descend when the mechanical arm transports the substrate into the shuttle so that the substrate is placed in the placement groove in the shuttle.

[0009] Further, the shuttle lifting device includes a shuttle placement table and a vertically arranged lead screw nut pair. The lead screw nut pair is adapted to drive the shuttle placement table to move up and down, and further drive the shuttle on the placement table to rise.

[0010] Further, the empty shuttle feeding system includes two plate racks adapted to place the shuttles, a transverse driving device for driving the plate racks to move linearly, a lifting driving device for controlling the synchronous lifting and lowering of the plate racks and the transverse driving device, and a storage rack arranged outside the two plate racks. The lifting driving device is adapted to jack up the plate racks so that the shuttles are separated from the storage rack, and after the shuttles are separated, the storage rack drives the plate racks to move one shuttle position in the direction of the shuttle lifting device through the transverse driving device and then drives the transverse driving device and the plate racks to descend, so as to transport the shuttles closest to the shuttle lifting device to the shuttle lifting device one by one.

[0011] Further, a plurality of material grooves are arranged on the plate racks for placing the shuttles.

[0012] Further, the empty shuttle feeding system and the full shuttle storage position system are arranged up and down to save space.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

Detailed Implementation Manner

[0024] Combined with Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a plate receiving mechanism, including: a plate receiving and feeding conveyor positioning mechanism 31, a lifting and transverse reciprocating plate storage mechanism 32, a transverse to forward feeding position shifting mechanism 33, an empty shuttle feeding system 34, a plate receiving manipulator 35, a shuttle lifting device 36, and a full shuttle storage position system 37. Among them, the lifting and transverse reciprocating plate storage mechanism 32 is connected to the plate receiving and feeding conveyor positioning mechanism 31 and the transverse to forward feeding position shifting mechanism 33 to sequentially transport the substrate A at the plate receiving and feeding conveyor positioning mechanism 31 to the transverse to forward feeding position shifting mechanism 33. The transverse to forward feeding position shifting mechanism 33 is adapted to transport the substrate A to the working position of the plate receiving manipulator 35 so that the plate receiving manipulator 35 sequentially places the substrate A into the shuttle; the empty shuttle feeding system 34 is adapted to sequentially convey the empty shuttle to the shuttle lifting device 36. The shuttle lifting device 36 is located on one side of the plate receiving manipulator 35 and is provided with a lifting assembly for controlling the shuttle to gradually rise to the working area of the plate receiving manipulator 35. The plate receiving manipulator 35 is adapted to cooperate with the lifting assembly to sequentially place the substrate A into the shuttle. The shuttle is adapted to be transported to the next working station through the full shuttle storage position system 37 after being filled with the substrate A.

[0025] Combined with Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the board receiving, feeding, conveying and positioning mechanism 31 includes a limit plate 311, a first longitudinal transmission roller 312 and a first transverse transmission roller 313. The first longitudinal transmission roller 312 is adapted to longitudinally transmit the substrate A until it is positioned by the limit plate 311. The first transverse transmission roller 313 is adapted to rotate after the substrate A is positioned by the limit plate 311 to transmit the substrate A to the lifting and transverse reciprocating board storage mechanism 32. Here, the first longitudinal transmission roller 312 is used to receive the substrate A conveyed from the previous station until the front end of the substrate A reaches the limit plate 311 and is restricted by the limit plate 311. An infrared sensor or a photoelectric sensor is provided at the limit plate 311 to detect whether the substrate A is conveyed in place. When it is detected that the substrate A is conveyed in place, the first longitudinal transmission roller 312 stops rotating. At this time, the first transverse transmission roller 313 starts to rotate (it does not rotate in the initial state) to change the longitudinal transmission of the substrate A into transverse rotation. A plurality of the first transverse transmission rollers 313 can be provided, extending parallel to the lifting and transverse reciprocating board storage mechanism 32 and being carried away by the lifting and transverse reciprocating board storage mechanism 32. When the substrate A leaves the limit plate 311, the first longitudinal transmission roller 312 can continue to rotate to feed a new substrate A in.

[0026] Combined with Figures 1 to 5As shown, the lifting and traversing reciprocating substrate storage mechanism 32 includes a storage plate 321 and a number of placement plates 322. Below each placement plate 322, there is a lifting device 323 to lift the placement plate 322 to a height higher than that of the storage plate 321, thereby lifting the substrate A placed on the storage plate 321 and the first lateral drive roller 313 closest to the lifting and traversing reciprocating substrate storage mechanism 32; a plurality of the lifting devices 323 are commonly connected to a telescopic assembly 324. The telescopic assembly 324 is adapted to drive all the lifting devices 323 to move one substrate position in the direction of the traversing and rotating forward feeding and displacement mechanism 33 after the lifting device 323 lifts the placement plate 322, and drive all the lifting devices 323 to move back one substrate position in the direction of the substrate receiving and feeding conveying and positioning mechanism 31 after the lifting device 323 drives the placement plate 322 to descend. Here, both the storage plate 321 and the placement plates 322 are provided with two. The storage plate 321 can be arranged outside the placement plates 322 for supporting the bottom of the substrate A. The lifting device 323 can be a lifting cylinder or the like for driving the placement plate 322 connected thereto to lift and lower. In this embodiment, each placement plate 322 is connected to a lifting device 323, and multiple placement plates 322 can be lifted synchronously. The telescopic assembly 324 can adopt a lead screw mechanism or a telescopic cylinder. A plurality of the lifting devices 323 are connected through a fixing plate. The fixing plate is installed on a slide rail, and the telescopic assembly 324 can drive the fixing plate to drive all the lifting devices 323 to perform linear motion. In the initial state, the placement plate 322 is lower than the storage plate 321, and one end of the placement plate 322 is located below the position of the first lateral drive roller 313; during operation, all the lifting devices 323 work to lift all the placement plates 322 to a height higher than the storage plate 321, so that the substrate A placed on the storage plate 321 is lifted by the placement plate 322, and the substrate A on the first lateral drive roller 313 is also lifted. Then the telescopic assembly 324 works to move the placement plate 322 one substrate position in the direction of the traversing and rotating forward feeding and displacement mechanism 33. At this time, the substrate closest to the first lateral drive roller 313 is located above the storage plate 321, and the substrate closest to the traversing and rotating forward feeding and displacement mechanism 33 is located above the traversing and rotating forward feeding and displacement mechanism 33; then the lifting device 323 is controlled to descend, so that the placement plate 322 is lower than the height of the storage plate 321. At this time, the substrate A above the traversing and rotating forward feeding and displacement mechanism 33 falls onto the traversing and rotating forward feeding and displacement mechanism 33; the substrate A originally above the first lateral drive roller 313 is placed on the storage plate 321, that is, all the substrate A move one substrate position in the direction of the traversing and rotating forward feeding and displacement mechanism 33. Then the telescopic assembly 324 drives the lifting device 323 to return one substrate position to perform the next operation. By repeating the above actions, the substrate A can be transported sheet by sheet from the substrate receiving and feeding conveying and positioning mechanism 31 to the traversing and rotating forward feeding and displacement mechanism 33.During the whole process, the substrates A will not rub against or collide with each other, and are transported by lifting, so that the process surface of the substrate A will not be damaged.

[0027] A second longitudinal transmission roller 331 is arranged on the transverse transfer and front feeding displacement mechanism 33. The second longitudinal transmission roller 331 can be used to longitudinally transport the substrate A conveyed by the lifting and transverse reciprocating plate storage mechanism 32 to the plate receiving manipulator 35. Here, the transverse transfer and front feeding displacement mechanism 33 extends between the plate receiving manipulator 35 and the shuttle lifting device 36, so that the plate receiving manipulator 35 transports the substrate A on the second longitudinal transmission roller 331 into the shuttle.

[0028] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown in, the shuttle lifting device 36 includes a lead screw nut pair 361. A placement table 362 is connected to the nut of the lead screw nut pair 361 for placing the shuttle. The lead screw nut pair 361 can drive the placement table 362 to lift at equal intervals, so as to cooperate with the plate receiving manipulator 35 for receiving plates. Specifically, multiple placement grooves are arranged in the shuttle for placing the substrates A. The plate receiving manipulator 35 includes a robotic arm 351, a moving mechanism 352 and a lifting drive mechanism 353. The robotic arm 351 is connected to the moving mechanism 352 to transport the substrate A on the robotic arm 351 into the shuttle. The lifting drive mechanism 353 is adapted to drive the moving mechanism 352 to lift and lower to lift the substrate A on the transverse transfer and front feeding displacement mechanism 33, and can drive the moving mechanism 352 to descend when the robotic arm 351 transports the substrate A into the shuttle, so that the substrate A is placed on the support part of the placement groove in the shuttle. The moving mechanism 352 here can adopt a telescopic cylinder, and the lifting drive mechanism 353 can adopt a lifting cylinder or a linear motor, etc. The robotic arm 351 can extend into the placement groove. The robotic arm 351 lifts the substrate A from the second longitudinal transmission roller 331 to a certain height to disengage from the second longitudinal transmission roller 331, and then extends into the shuttle, so that the substrate A enters the placement groove. At this time, there is a certain height between the substrate A and the support part of the placement groove. After the substrate A extends in place, then control the lifting drive mechanism 353 to descend, so that the top surface of the robotic arm 351 is lower than the height of the support part of the placement groove, so as to place the substrate A on the support part of the placement groove, and then move the robotic arm 351 out to complete one discharging. It should be noted that in another embodiment, when the robotic arm 351 places the substrate A into the placement groove, the shuttle can also be driven to rise by a fixed height by the lead screw nut pair 361, so that the support part of the placement groove supports on the edge of the substrate A, so that the substrate A disengages from the robotic arm 351. The lead screw nut pair 361 drives the shuttle to rise step by step, and cooperating with the plate receiving manipulator 35 can place the substrates A into the placement grooves of the shuttle one by one.

[0029] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 8 As shown, an empty shuttle feeding system 34 is provided below the shuttle lifting device 36 for providing an empty shuttle, and a full shuttle storage system 37 is provided above the shuttle for storing and transporting the shuttle filled with substrates A to the next station. Here, the automatic feeding shuttle and the automatic unloading shuttle are used to effectively improve the automation of board collection and reduce the workload of the operator.

[0030] Specifically, the empty shuttle feeding system 34 includes two material plates 341 suitable for placing material shuttles, a transverse driving device 342 for driving the material plates 341 to move linearly, a lifting driving device 343 for controlling the synchronous lifting and lowering of the material plates 341 and the transverse driving device 342, and a material storage rack 344 arranged on the outside of the two material plates 341. The lifting driving device 343 is suitable for lifting the material plates 341 to make the material shuttle detach from the material storage rack 344, and after the material shuttle detaches, the material storage rack 344 drives the material plate 341 to move toward the material shuttle lifting device 36 through the transverse driving device 342 for one material shuttle position, and then drives the transverse driving device 342 and the material plate 341 to descend, so as to transport the material shuttles closest to the material shuttle lifting device 36 one by one to the material shuttle lifting device 36. In the initial state, the material plate 341 is lower than the material storage rack 344. When working, the lifting drive device 343 drives the material plate 341 to rise to lift the material shuttle, and then drives the material shuttle to move a material shuttle position distance toward the material shuttle lifting device 36 through the transverse driving device 342, and all the material shuttles move forward by a material shuttle position; then the lifting drive device 343 drives the material plate 341 to descend, so that the material shuttle is placed on the material storage rack 344, and the material shuttle closest to the material shuttle lifting device 36 is placed on the placement table 362 of the material shuttle lifting device 36, completing one material loading; finally, the material plate 341 is driven to move back one material shuttle position for the next material loading. In this way, the material shuttles can be transported to the material shuttle lifting device 36 one by one.

[0031] The structure of the full material shuttle storage system 37 can be set to the same structure as the empty material shuttle feeding system 34, and the working principle is the same, but the conveying direction is opposite, and it is used to convey the material shuttle filled with substrates A on the material shuttle lifting device 36 to the next station one by one. In the above embodiment, the material plate 341 is provided with a plurality of material grooves for placing the material shuttle, which is convenient for positioning and correcting the material shuttle. In a preferred embodiment, the empty material shuttle feeding system 34 and the full material shuttle storage system 37 are arranged up and down to save space.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the transmission roller mechanisms involved are all provided with a rotating motor for driving.

[0033] Through this solution, the automation of board collection is achieved, and the board collection efficiency is high. The board collection process will not cause damage to substrate A, effectively improving the yield rate.

[0034] It should be understood that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
