Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical automation, in particular to a transfer part placement rack in an automated device. Background Art
[0002] An automated device is a device that can automatically operate or control according to a specified program or instruction without human intervention. During the production and operation of an automated device, there is a situation where transfer parts need to be temporarily stored. At this time, a transfer part placement rack is generally installed at a fixed position, and then a robotic arm automatically grabs parts on the transfer part placement rack and transports them into the automated system. The robotic arm is generally controlled by a servo motor, and the position where it grabs parts must be fixed and stable. Therefore, the transfer part placement rack must have a reasonable structure, high strength, and the deformation amount after placing parts cannot be too large.
[0003] Existing transfer part placement racks generally adopt a welded structure of aluminum alloy profiles, and mainly have the following disadvantages: a. Dimensional accuracy is not easy to guarantee: Since this type of placement rack is generally a frame structure formed by welding after parts are processed, it cannot be processed after welding, and it is easy to deform after welding. The correction method is generally manual correction, and it is very difficult to achieve the design requirements for dimensional accuracy. Moreover, the correction process is also easy to damage the weld seam and reduce the structural strength of the product; b. Limited load-bearing capacity and easy to deform after placing parts: In order to facilitate the robotic arm to grab parts, the placement rack is generally a cantilever structure. Especially when using a multi-layer stacking structure, the size of its single-layer structure is limited, the profile specifications are small, and the load-bearing capacity is limited; c. Unable to repair after deformation: Since this type of placement rack is an integral welded structure, after local deformation, it can only be disassembled and manually corrected, and generally cannot be corrected to the original product size, which brings hidden dangers to the later operation of the automatic line; d. Difficult to assemble in a limited space: The welded part is an integral structure and can only be assembled at a position larger than its own space size. If the space position is limited, it is difficult to assemble, or it cannot be installed when the entrance size of the installation position is smaller than this part; e. The fixing method has a complex structure: This welded part must be designed with a base with relatively high strength, and can only be connected to the main body through bolts. A number of bolts need to be added outside the structural parts, and the arrangement of bolts needs to take into account the structure of the automatic line, the structure of the placed parts, and the structure of the robotic arm. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a transfer part placement rack in an automated device that can overcome the above disadvantages. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] To overcome the technical defects of the existing transfer part placement rack, such as difficult to guarantee dimensional accuracy, limited load-bearing capacity, unable to repair after deformation, difficult to assemble in a limited space, and complex fixing method structure, the utility model provides a transfer part placement rack in an automated device.

[0031] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present utility model, the solution of the present utility model will be further described below. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0032] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present utility model, but the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0033] The following will be combined with Figures 1 to 7 to describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model.
[0034] This embodiment provides a transfer part placement rack in an automated device, including a fixed stud 1, a locking nut 2 and a support assembly 3.
[0035] Among them, at least one fixed stud 1 is provided and all are arranged vertically. The bottom end of the fixed stud 1 is used for screwing onto the target mounting surface 100. During installation, a threaded hole is opened on the target mounting surface 100, and then the bottom end of the fixed stud 1 can be directly screwed into the threaded hole of the target mounting surface 100 to achieve fixation.
[0036] Specifically, Figure 1 as shown in, three fixed studs 1 are provided. In actual design, the number of fixed studs 1 can be adaptively determined with the aim of ensuring the stable support of the placing plate 31.
[0037] Among them, the locking nuts 2 correspond to the fixing studs 1 one by one. The locking nuts 2 are screwed to the bottoms of the corresponding fixing studs 1 and are used to lock the fixing studs 1 to the target mounting surface 100. During installation, after the fixing studs 1 are installed, the locking nuts 2 are screwed onto the fixing studs 1 and move downward until the locking nuts 2 contact the target mounting surface 100, locking and fixing the fixing studs 1.
[0038] Among them, the support assembly 3 has several layers and is distributed at intervals along the fixing studs 1. The support assembly 3 includes a placement plate 31 and two groups of support nuts 32. The placement plate 31 is horizontally arranged and one side is sleeved on all the fixing studs 1 to form a cantilever structure. Each group of support nuts 32 is correspondingly arranged with the fixing studs 1. The two groups of support nuts 32 are both screwed on the fixing studs 1 and are respectively adjacent to the upper and lower sides of the corresponding placement plate 31. During installation, first, screw the lower support nut 32 in place according to the position of the placement plate 31, then sleeve the placement plate 31 onto the fixing studs 1 and support it on the lower support nut 32, and finally screw the upper support nut 32 until it contacts the placement plate 31. In this way, the placement plate 31 is clamped and fixed by the cooperation of the upper and lower support nuts 32.
[0039] Specifically, the placement plate 31 includes a support ring 311 and a connecting portion 312 integrally formed on one side of the support ring 311. The fixing stud 1 is inserted into the connecting portion 312. The main body part of the placement plate 31 being set as the support ring 311 has two functions: First, the hollowing in the middle of the support ring 311 can play a role in weight reduction, reducing the support load of the fixing stud 1; Second, the support ring 311 can not only adapt to flat workpieces but also adapt to special-shaped workpieces with convex bottoms.
[0040] Specifically, Figure 2 the support assembly 3 shown in Figure 7 has nine layers, and the support assembly 3 shown in
[0041] has three layers. The number of the support assemblies 3 can be selected according to actual needs, and the height of each placement plate 31 can be freely adjusted according to the volume of the transfer part. Figure 2 Specifically, as shown in
[0042] Further, the support assembly 3 further includes a position sensor 33 for detecting the position of the workpiece 200. The position sensor 33 includes a sensor bracket 331 and a sensor body 332. The sensor bracket 331 is fixed on the corresponding placement plate 31, and the sensor body 332 is installed on the sensor bracket 331.
[0043] It should be noted that the existing transfer piece placement rack is an integrally welded structure. When designed, the position sensor 33 was not added, and it was very difficult to install during later debugging, making it difficult to meet the requirements of the uncertainty of the shape and position of the workpiece 200; this transfer piece placement rack is an assembled structure, and the position sensor 33 can be installed in the support assembly 3 to detect whether the workpiece 200 is placed in place.
[0044] Specifically, the sensor bracket 331 includes a fixing plate 3311 and a mounting plate 3312. The fixing plate 3311 and the mounting plate 3312 are perpendicular to each other and fixedly connected. The fixing plate 3311 is sleeved on the fixing stud 1, and the fixing plate 3311 is located above the corresponding placement plate 31 and clamped between the corresponding placement plate 31 and the support nut 32. This structure of the sensor bracket 331 is relatively convenient to install and more reliable to fix, and the angle adjustment of the sensor bracket 331 can be realized by rotating the fixing plate 3311 around the fixing stud 1.
[0045] More specifically, the sensor body 332 is a columnar structure and has an external thread section in the middle. The sensor body 332 is inserted through the mounting plate 3312 and locked and fixed by two locking nuts 333 located on both sides of the mounting plate 3312. The position of the sensor body 332 can be adjusted by the two locking nuts 333, so as to cooperate with the aforementioned structure of the sensor bracket 331, so that the position and angle of the sensor body 332 can be adjusted according to the shape of the workpiece 200, which is convenient for accurately detecting whether the part is placed in place.
[0046] The installation process of the transfer piece placement rack in this embodiment is as follows:
[0047] 1) Process three threaded holes on the target installation surface 100;
[0048] 2) Screw the bottom end of the fixing stud 1 into the threaded hole of the target installation surface 100 and fasten it with the locking nut 2;
[0049] 3) Screw the lower support nut 32 on the fixing stud 1 and sequentially sleeve the placement plate 31 and the sensor bracket 331, then screw the upper support nut 32 to achieve fastening, and finally install the sensor body 332 on the sensor bracket 331. In this way, the installation of one layer of the support assembly 3 is completed. Repeat the operation to complete the installation of all layers of the support assembly 3.
[0050] The above are only specific embodiments of the present utility model, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present utility model. Although the foregoing embodiments have been described in detail, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments, and they should all be covered by the protection scope of the claims.
