[0037] The following further describes the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings:

[0038] As shown in the figure, a front pad printing unit of a breaker production line includes a frame 1, a conveyor belt mechanism 2, and several pad printers 3; it also includes:

[0039] A transfer channel 4, which is installed on the frame 1 and has a through slot 41 at its middle position;

[0045] Among them, the pad printer in this embodiment is a prior art and will not be elaborated here again.

[0046] The first material pushing mechanism 5 and the second material pushing mechanism 6 have the same structure and opposite directions. The transfer channel 4 is in a concave shape. The first material pushing mechanism is responsible for pushing the circuit breaker on the conveyor belt mechanism into the transfer channel, and the second material pushing mechanism is responsible for pushing the circuit breaker that has completed pad printing in the transfer channel back to the conveyor belt mechanism.

[0047] The first material pushing mechanism 5 includes:

[0048] A support 51, which is installed on the frame 1;

[0049] A first driving member 52, which is horizontally installed on the support 51;

[0050] A material pushing plate 53, which is installed at the output end of the first driving member 52. The first driving member uses a cylinder, an oil cylinder or a linear motor, and the material pushing plate is driven by the first driving member to achieve telescopic movement.

[0051] The first material clamping mechanism 7 includes:

[0052] A base 71, which is installed below the frame 1;

[0053] A sliding seat 72, which is slidably installed on the base 71;

[0054] A clamping seat 73, which is located above the sliding seat 72 and is slidably matched with the sliding seat 72;

[0055] A second driving member 74, which is installed on the base 71 and its output end is connected to the sliding seat 72;

[0056] The third driving member 75 is installed on the sliding seat 72, and its output end is connected to the clamping seat 73;

[0057] A plurality of groups of clamping assemblies are equidistantly arranged and linearly installed on the clamping seat 73. The second driving member and the third driving member adopt cylinders, oil cylinders or linear motors. The second driving member drives the clamping assemblies to move horizontally back and forth, and the third driving member drives the clamping assemblies to move vertically up and down.

[0058] The clamping assembly includes:

[0059] A mounting seat 76 is fixedly installed on the clamping seat 73;

[0060] A fourth driving member 77 is installed on the mounting seat 76 and is arranged horizontally;

[0061] A fixed clamp 78 is fixedly installed on the clamping seat 73 and is located in front of the fourth driving member;

[0062] A movable clamp 79 is installed on the output end of the fourth driving member 77. The fourth driving member adopts a cylinder, an oil cylinder or a linear motor to move the movable clamp closer to or away from the fixed clamp to realize the clamping and loosening actions.

[0063] The base 71 is provided with an avoidance groove 70 for avoiding the third driving member 75 to prevent interference and affect the working stability.

[0064] The second material clamping mechanism 11 includes a seventh driving member 111 installed on the side wall of the transfer channel and a pressing plate 112 connected to the output end of the seventh driving member. The pressing plate 112 passes through the side wall on one side of the transfer channel and cooperates with the side wall on the other side to clamp the material. When the clamping assembly clamps the circuit breaker, the pressing plate of the second material clamping mechanism also starts to perform a pressing action, clamping the circuit breaker from the front, back, left and right together, so that multiple circuit breakers can be kept flush, and it can also ensure that the position of the circuit breaker is directly below the pad printer to ensure the accuracy of the pad printing work.

[0065] It further includes a material blocking mechanism and a guardrail mechanism located on one side of the first material pushing mechanism 5. The material blocking mechanism includes a material blocking block 81 and a fifth driving member 82 for driving the material blocking block 81 to move horizontally. The guardrail mechanism includes guardrails 91 located on both sides of the conveyor belt mechanism 2 and proximity switches 92 installed on the guardrails 91. The guardrails on both sides play a guiding role for the circuit breakers to keep each circuit breaker flush. The proximity switches are used to detect the number of circuit breakers passing through. The material blocking block is driven by the fifth driving member to perform a telescopic movement for intercepting the circuit breakers, so that the circuit breakers pass through in batches, and the number of each batch passing through can be determined according to the actual production.

[0066] It further includes a closing mechanism located between two adjacent pad printers 3. The closing mechanism is located on the side of the conveyor belt mechanism 2 away from the pad printer 3. The closing mechanism includes a bracket 101 installed on the frame 1, a sixth driving member 102 installed on the bracket 101, and a push plate 103 installed at the output end of the sixth driving member 102. The height of the push plate 103 corresponds to the height of the circuit breaker when it has not risen. The closing mechanism is used to perform a closing operation on the circuit breaker between two pad printers, so that the operating mechanism is closed and the operation of the next pad printer is not affected. Both the fifth driving member and the sixth driving member adopt air cylinders, oil cylinders or linear motors.

[0067] The action process of the circuit breaker on the transfer channel is as follows: After the circuit breaker enters the transfer channel, the clamping assembly rises through the through slot and then clamps the positions on both sides of the circuit breaker, driving the circuit breaker to move below the first pad printer. Then, the second clamping mechanism clamps the front and rear positions of the circuit breaker to position the circuit breaker directly below the pad printer. After the first pad printing is completed, the circuit breaker is moved to the front of the closing mechanism by the clamping assembly. The closing mechanism performs a closing action on the circuit breaker. Then, the clamping assembly moves the circuit breaker below the second pad printer again. Then, the second clamping mechanism clamps the front and rear positions of the circuit breaker to position the circuit breaker directly below the pad printer. After the second pad printing is completed, the clamping assembly transports the circuit breaker to the front of the second pushing mechanism, and then it is pushed back onto the conveyor belt mechanism by the second pushing mechanism.
