Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of USB terminal production, in particular to a USB terminal gripper tray arranging device. Background Technique
[0002] In modern electronic manufacturing, as an important interface component for data transmission and power supply between electronic devices, the production efficiency and quality control of USB terminals are directly related to the market competitiveness of end products. In the automated production process of USB terminals, a key link is to accurately and efficiently place the continuously conveyed USB terminals on the preset empty trays (this process requires a tray arranging device) on the production line for subsequent packaging, storage, and transportation. However, a technical problem often faced in this process is that the arrangement spacing of USB terminals on the conveyor belt is often inconsistent with the preset spacing of each cavity in the empty tray.
[0003] Specifically, due to factors such as the conveying speed of USB terminals on the production line, the position adjustment accuracy, and the mechanical characteristics of the conveyor belt itself, the spacing of USB terminals on the conveyor belt fluctuates and it is difficult to perfectly match the fixed cavity spacing in the design of the empty tray. This mismatch problem between the picking spacing and the placing spacing not only reduces production efficiency, increases the need for manual intervention, but also may cause product damage or quality degradation due to inaccurate placement, thereby affecting the stability of the overall production line and product quality. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a USB terminal gripper tray arranging device, which solves the problems raised in the above background technique.
[0005] To achieve the above purposes, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions: A USB terminal gripper tray arranging device includes an equipment cabinet, as well as a tray feeding unit, a terminal feeding unit, a tray arranging feeding unit, and a finished product storage unit installed on the upper part of the equipment cabinet. The tray feeding unit can convey an empty tray to the tray arranging feeding unit. The terminal feeding unit can place the terminals in the empty tray conveyed by the tray arranging feeding unit. After the terminals in the empty tray are filled, they are stored in the finished product storage unit in a stacked form. The tray arranging feeding unit includes a terminal adsorption mechanism, and the terminal adsorption mechanism has a number of adsorption picking ends, and the spacing of the number of adsorption picking ends can be synchronously adjusted.
[0006] Furthermore, the tray feeding unit includes a tray storage position, a tray conveying driving module, a tray picking and placing cylinder, and a suction cup. The empty trays are stacked and stored inside the tray storage position. The tray picking and placing cylinder is installed at the driving end of the tray conveying driving module. The suction cup is installed at the telescopic end of the tray picking and placing cylinder, and the suction cup can adsorb the empty trays in the tray storage position.
[0007] Further, the terminal feeding unit includes a terminal conveyor belt, a terminal conveying driving module, a terminal picking and placing cylinder, and a terminal adsorption mechanism. The terminals are linearly distributed on the terminal conveyor belt. The terminal picking and placing cylinder is installed at the driving end of the terminal conveying driving module, and the terminal adsorption mechanism is installed at the telescopic end of the terminal picking and placing cylinder. The terminal adsorption mechanism can adsorb several terminals on the terminal conveyor belt at a time.
[0008] Further, the tray feeding unit includes a tray conveying driving module. The tray conveying driving module conveys an empty tray to the discharging position of the terminal adsorption mechanism. The empty tray has several cavities for placing terminals. Each time the terminal adsorption mechanism discharges a terminal, the tray conveying driving module conveys the empty tray forward by the distance of one cavity.
[0009] Further, the finished product storage unit includes a tray storage module and a tray pushing module. The tray pushing module can push the tray filled with terminals to translate into the tray storage module. Each time a tray is translated in the tray storage module, the tray will be driven to descend by a fixed height.
[0010] Further, the terminal adsorption mechanism includes a front seat plate and a rear seat plate. After the front seat plate and the rear seat plate are connected, there is a reserved cavity between them. The reserved cavity accommodates a movable lifting plate. The front side of the lifting plate is connected with several driven seats, and the bottom end of each driven seat is installed with a suction nozzle.
[0011] Further, a plurality of guiding grooves are formed in the front surface of the lifting plate. The bottom ends of the plurality of guiding grooves converge in one direction. A guiding convex post is slidably arranged in each guiding groove. The guiding convex post is connected with the driven seat. A lifting driving cylinder is installed on the back surface of the rear seat plate, and the telescopic end of the lifting driving cylinder is connected with the lifting plate through a linkage member.
[0012] Further, a plurality of pin holes are formed in the front seat plate and each driven seat. By inserting a plurality of pin shafts into the pin holes, a plurality of driven seats are connected in series.
[0013] The utility model provides a USB terminal gripper tray device. Compared with the prior art, the following beneficial effects are achieved:
[0014] For the USB terminal tray device, the designed terminal adsorption mechanism can adjust the distance between the suction nozzles by itself. That is to say, when in the state of sucking terminals, the distance between the suction nozzles is d1, and when in the state of releasing terminals, the distance between the suction nozzles will be adjusted to d2 adapted to the empty tray. In this way, the problem of different distances during terminal picking and placing can be completely solved, so as to meet the tray demand of the terminals. Description of the Drawings

Specific embodiments
[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , 2, 3. The present utility model provides a technical solution: a USB terminal jaw placing device, which is composed of an equipment cabinet 1, a tray storage position 2, a tray conveying drive module 3, a tray picking and placing cylinder 4, a suction cup 5, a terminal conveyor belt 6, a terminal conveying drive module 7, a terminal picking and placing cylinder 8, a terminal adsorption mechanism 9, a placing tray conveying drive module 10, a placing tray storage module 11, and a tray pushing module 12. Among them, empty trays are stacked and stored inside the tray storage position 2. The tray picking and placing cylinder 4 is installed at the driving end of the tray conveying drive module 3, and the suction cup 5 is installed at the telescopic end of the tray picking and placing cylinder 4. The suction cup 5 can adsorb the empty trays in the tray storage position 2 (the tray conveying drive module 3 can drive the tray picking and placing cylinder 4 and the suction cup 5 to reciprocate between the tray storage position 2 and the placing tray conveying drive module 10. When the suction cup 5 is directly above the tray storage position 2, the tray picking and placing cylinder 4 pushes the suction cup 5 downward to suck the empty tray, and then the tray picking and placing cylinder 4 shortens, and the suction cup 5 and the empty tray rise to the initial height synchronously. Similarly, when the suction cup 5 is directly above the placing tray conveying drive module 10, the tray picking and placing cylinder 4 pushes the suction cup 5 downward and releases the empty tray, and then rises to the initial height). The terminals are linearly distributed on the terminal conveyor belt 6. The terminal picking and placing cylinder 8 is installed at the driving end of the terminal conveying drive module 7, and the terminal adsorption mechanism 9 is installed at the telescopic end of the terminal picking and placing cylinder 8. The terminal adsorption mechanism 9 can adsorb several terminals on the terminal conveyor belt 6 at a time (the terminal conveying drive module 7 can drive the terminal picking and placing cylinder 8 and the terminal adsorption mechanism 9 to reciprocate between the terminal conveyor belt 6 and the placing tray conveying drive module 10. When the terminal adsorption mechanism 9 is directly above the terminal conveyor belt 6, the terminal picking and placing cylinder 8 extends, pushing the terminal adsorption mechanism 9 downward until it adsorbs the terminals, and then rises to the initial height. Similarly, when the terminal adsorption mechanism 9 is directly above the empty tray, the terminal picking and placing cylinder 8 extends, pushing the terminal adsorption mechanism 9 downward to release the terminals, and then rises to the initial height). The placing tray conveying drive module 10 conveys the empty tray to the discharging position of the terminal adsorption mechanism 9. There are several cavities for placing terminals in the empty tray. Each time the terminal adsorption mechanism 9 places a terminal, the placing tray conveying drive module 10 conveys the empty tray forward by the distance of one cavity (that is, arranging one row, the empty tray moves forward by the distance of one row, so that the next row can follow up and prepare for the next placing). The tray pushing module 12 can push the tray full of terminals to translate into the placing tray storage module 11. Each time a tray is translated in the placing tray storage module 11, it will drive the tray to descend by a fixed height (that is, the height of one tray, push one, descend one, until the placing tray storage module 11 reaches saturation).
[0024] It should be noted that the tray storage position 2, the tray conveying drive module 3, the tray picking and placing cylinder 4, the suction cup 5, the terminal conveyor belt 6, the terminal conveying drive module 7, the terminal picking and placing cylinder 8, the tray placing and conveying drive module 10, the tray storage module 11, and the tray pushing module 12, the specific structures and principles of which are all well-known technologies in the field and will not be elaborated here.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 4 、 5 、6, the terminal adsorption mechanism 9 includes a front seat plate 91 and a rear seat plate 92. After the front seat plate 91 and the rear seat plate 92 are connected, there is a reserved cavity between them. A movable lifting plate 93 is accommodated in the reserved cavity. A plurality of driven seats 94 are connected to the front side of the lifting plate 93. A suction nozzle 97 is installed at the bottom end of each driven seat 94. A plurality of guide grooves 98 are formed on the front surface of the lifting plate 93. The bottom ends of the plurality of guide grooves 98 converge in one direction. A guide convex column 99 is slidably arranged in each guide groove 98. The guide convex column 99 is connected to the driven seat 94. A lifting drive cylinder 910 is installed on the back surface of the rear seat plate 92. The telescopic end of the lifting drive cylinder 910 is connected to the lifting plate 93 through a linkage 911. A plurality of pin holes 95 are formed in the front seat plate 91 and each driven seat 94. By inserting a plurality of pin shafts 96 into the pin holes 95, a plurality of driven seats 94 are connected in series;
[0026] When the terminal adsorption mechanism 9 needs to adsorb a plurality of USB terminals on the terminal conveyor belt 6, since the spacing between the USB terminals on the terminal conveyor belt 6 is relatively small, at this time, the lifting drive cylinder 910 needs to extend, driving the lifting plate 93 to move upward through the linkage 911. When the guide groove 98 moves upward following the lifting plate 93, relatively speaking, the guide convex column 99 on each driven seat 94 will move downward along the guide groove 98. Due to the distribution characteristics of the plurality of guide grooves 98 (the bottom ends of the plurality of guide grooves 98 converge in one direction), a plurality of driven seats 94 will move horizontally along the direction of the pin shaft 96 and approach each other, so that each suction nozzle 97 approaches each other. When the guide convex column 99 is at the bottom end of the guide groove 98, the distance between the suction nozzles 97 is the smallest, just matching the spacing between a plurality of USB terminals on the terminal conveyor belt 6. At this time, the suction nozzles 97 correspond to the USB terminals one by one, and they can be adsorbed;
[0027] Similarly, when the terminal adsorption mechanism 9 needs to release the USB terminal into the cavity of the empty tray, since the reserved spacing in the cavity of the empty tray is relatively large, the lifting drive cylinder 910 needs to be shortened at this time. The lifting plate 93 is driven to move downward through the linkage 911. When the guide groove 98 moves downward following the lifting plate 93, relatively speaking, the guide protrusions 99 on each driven seat 94 will move upward along the guide groove 98. Due to the distribution characteristics of several guide grooves 98 (the bottoms of several guide grooves 98 converge in one direction, and the opposite direction is divergence), several driven seats 94 will move horizontally along the direction of the pin shaft 96 and move away from each other, so that each suction nozzle 97 moves away from each other. When the guide protrusion 99 is at the topmost end of the guide groove 98, the distance between the suction nozzles 97 is the largest, exactly meeting the requirement of the cavity spacing in the empty tray. At this time, the USB terminals correspond to each cavity one by one, and then they can be released.
