Among them, the process of feeding the copper bars and nuts into the mold is generally performed by driving the picking manipulator to move by a robotic arm, that is, using the picking manipulator to pick up nuts from the nut feeding mechanism and place the nuts in the mold cavity of the injection molding machine first, and then pick up copper bars from the copper bar feeding mechanism and place the copper bars in the mold cavity of the injection molding machine. This way of picking and placing materials has complex actions, and the robotic arm needs to move repeatedly, resulting in low overall feeding efficiency.

[0020] The present utility model will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0021] The present utility model discloses a copper bar and nut parallel loading equipment, in combination with Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, it includes a machine table 1, on which there are a copper bar feeding station and a nut feeding station arranged in parallel. The nut feeding station includes a nut feeding mechanism 20 and a distributing plate 21. The feeding port of the distributing plate 21 is communicated with the discharging port of the nut feeding mechanism 20. A plurality of nut discharging ports 210 are arranged on the side of the distributing plate 21. The copper bar feeding station includes a copper bar stacking mechanism 30, a copper bar placing carrier 31 and a transverse transfer and handling mechanism 32. The copper bar stacking mechanism 30 is used to provide a stacked copper bar group 100. The transverse transfer and handling mechanism 32 is used to pick up the copper bar group 100 from the copper bar stacking mechanism 30 in batches and place it on the copper bar placing carrier 31. The copper bar placing carrier 31 is aligned with the distributing plate 21, and a picking station for the picking manipulator 101 to enter is arranged between them. The picking manipulator 101 picks up the nuts 200 in the nut discharging ports 210 and the copper bar group 100 on the copper bar placing carrier 31.

[0022] In the above structure, the copper bar feeding station and the nut feeding station are both arranged on the machine table 1 at the same time. They are parallel to each other and a picking station is formed between them. The picking manipulator 101 can enter the picking station. In the specific implementation process, the nut feeding mechanism 20 is used to convey the nuts 200 to the distributing plate 21. At the same time, the copper bar stacking mechanism 30 is used to provide the stacked copper bar group 100 to the transverse transfer and handling mechanism 32. Then the transverse transfer and handling mechanism 32 picks up the copper bar group 100 from the copper bar stacking mechanism 30 in batches and places it on the copper bar placing carrier 31. When picking up materials, the picking manipulator 101 can be controlled to pick up the nuts 200 on the side of the distributing plate 21, and then the picking manipulator 101 is controlled to pick up the copper bar group 100 on the copper bar placing carrier 31. Compared with the prior art, the utility model realizes the picking function of the copper bar group 100 and the nuts 200 at the same picking station, without repeated and multiple movements, which not only simplifies the equipment structure, but also can significantly improve the feeding efficiency of the copper bar group 100 and the nuts 200. In addition, the utility model integrates the copper bar feeding station and the nut feeding station on the same machine table 1, making the equipment integration degree higher, which can significantly save the floor space and better meet the application requirements.

[0023] As a preferred mode, the nut feeding mechanism 20 is a vibrating plate feeding mechanism. A pushing mechanism 22 is arranged on the back side of the distributing plate 21. A pushing rod 23 is arranged at the moving end of the pushing mechanism 22. The pushing rod 23 is aligned with the nut discharging port 210. Among them, the pushing mechanism 22 is preferably a cylinder.

[0024] In practical applications, the copper bars required to match the injection-molded workpieces can be of various specifications. In this embodiment, taking the copper bars of two models A and B as examples, combined withFigure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5 , the copper busbar group 100 includes A-type copper busbars 102 and B-type copper busbars 103. The copper busbar placement platform 31 includes an A-type copper busbar platform 310 and a B-type copper busbar platform 311. The moving end of the transverse transfer mechanism 32 is provided with a negative pressure suction nozzle assembly 320. The transverse transfer mechanism 32 is used to drive the negative pressure suction nozzle assembly 320 to simultaneously suck the A-type copper busbars 102 and B-type copper busbars 103 from the copper busbar placement platform 31, and place the A-type copper busbars 102 and B-type copper busbars 103 on the A-type copper busbar platform 310 and the B-type copper busbar platform 311 simultaneously.

[0025] In order to reliably position the copper busbars on the copper busbar platform, in this embodiment, a plurality of first positioning pins 312 are provided on the A-type copper busbar platform 310. The first positioning pins 312 are aligned with the hole positions on the A-type copper busbar 102, and the first positioning pins 312 pass through the hole positions on the A-type copper busbar 102.

[0026] Correspondingly, a plurality of second positioning pins 313 are provided on the B-type copper busbar platform 311. The second positioning pins 313 are aligned with the hole positions on the B-type copper busbar 103, and the second positioning pins 313 pass through the hole positions on the B-type copper busbar 103.

[0027] As a preferred method, both the first positioning pins 312 and the second positioning pins 313 include conical ends. Among them, in this embodiment, it is preferably to set the positioning pins to have a conical end structure. When the negative pressure suction nozzle assembly 320 sucks the A-type copper busbars 102 and the B-type copper busbars 103 and places them on the corresponding A and B copper busbar platforms respectively, the first and second positioning pins can pass through the hole positions on the A and B type copper busbars respectively. Under the action of the conical ends, the actions of the first and second positioning pins inserting into the copper busbar hole positions are smoother, so as to achieve effective positioning and ensure that the picking manipulator 101 accurately picks up the copper busbars.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 4 , in this embodiment, a turntable 5 and a rotary drive mechanism 6 are provided on the machine table 1. Two symmetrically arranged copper busbar stacking mechanisms 30 are provided on the turntable 5. The rotary drive mechanism 6 is used to drive the turntable 5 to rotate 180°, and then drive one of the two copper busbar stacking mechanisms 30 to move to the picking position of the negative pressure suction nozzle assembly 320.

[0029] In the above structure, by providing two symmetrically arranged copper bar stacking mechanisms 30, when the transverse transfer mechanism 32 sucks a copper bar from one copper bar stacking mechanism 30, it can load copper bars onto the other copper bar stacking mechanism 30. When the transverse transfer mechanism 32 has taken all the copper bars on the copper bar stacking mechanism 30, the rotary drive mechanism 6 is used to drive the turntable 5 to rotate 180°, so that the copper bar stacking mechanism 30 full of copper bars and the emptied copper bar stacking mechanism 30 exchange positions. In practical applications, a turntable lifting mechanism 9 can also be provided on the machine table 1. The turntable lifting mechanism 9 can be used to drive the turntable 5 and the rotary drive mechanism 6 to rise one layer at a time, and the rising distance of each layer corresponds to the thickness of the copper bar, so as to lift the copper bars layer by layer to the suction position of the negative pressure suction nozzle assembly 320.

[0030] In order to facilitate the stacking of copper bars, in this embodiment, the copper bar stacking mechanism 30 includes a plurality of vertically extending positioning plates 33, and a copper bar stacking space 34 is formed between two adjacent positioning plates 33.

[0031] As a preferred method, please refer to Figure 4 , a pin insertion assembly 7 is provided on the machine table 1. The pin insertion assembly 7 is arranged on one side of the turntable 5 away from the material taking position of the negative pressure suction nozzle assembly 320. The pin insertion assembly 7 includes a plurality of positioning pins 70 that can pass through the turntable 5. An elevating drive mechanism 8 for driving the plurality of positioning pins 70 to lift and lower synchronously is provided on the machine table 1. The plurality of positioning pins 70 respectively pass through the hole positions on the type A copper bar 102 and the type B copper bar 103.

[0032] In the above structure, the elevating drive mechanism 8 is used to drive the plurality of positioning pins 70 to lift and lower synchronously. When the turntable 5 needs to rotate 180°, the elevating drive mechanism 8 drives the plurality of positioning pins 70 to descend below the turntable 5, and the positioning pins 70 do not interfere with the turntable 5, so as not to affect the rotation stroke of the turntable 5. Until the rotary drive mechanism 6 drives the turntable 5 to rotate 180°, the emptied copper bar stacking mechanism 30 is transferred above the plurality of positioning pins 70, and the elevating drive mechanism 8 drives the plurality of positioning pins 70 to rise, waiting to set the newly added type A copper bar 102 and type B copper bar 103 on the corresponding positioning pins 70. When the turntable 5 needs to change positions again, the elevating drive mechanism 8 drives the plurality of positioning pins 70 to descend again, and so on, realizing the functions of stacking and positioning the type A copper bar 102 and the type B copper bar 103, which helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of copper bar handling.

[0033] On this basis, the present invention also discloses a method for parallel feeding of copper bars and nuts. This method is realized based on the above-mentioned equipment, combined with Figures 1 to 5As shown, the method includes:

[0034] Using the nut feeding mechanism 20 to convey nuts 200 to the material dividing plate 21;

[0035] Using the copper bar stacking mechanism 30 to provide a stacked copper bar group 100 to the transverse transfer and handling mechanism 32;
