Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of LL, and specifically, to a blank taking device with a quick replacement mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Toilet sanitary wares have become essential items in people's high-quality life. In the production process of such sanitary wares, in order to improve production efficiency, after the blank is formed in the mold, it is usually automatically taken out by electromechanical equipment.
[0003] During the automatic taking-out process of the blank, a blank taking device and a profiling support plate are involved. The profiling support plate is used to support the blank, so as to avoid the wear on the outer surface of the blank. The blank taking device is usually in the form of a combination of a manipulator and a fork. The profiling support plate needs to be installed on the blank taking device, and then the blank taking device can take away the blank from the mold with the help of the profiling support plate.
[0004] However, in the actual working process, since the blank needs to be placed on a static rack or a conveying chain, during this process, the profiling support plate needs to be separated from the blank. Also, since the blank has just been formed and still contains a lot of moisture, there is a certain probability of damage to the outer surface of the blank during the separation process between the blank and the profiling support plate. If the profiling support plate and the blank are separated after standing for a period of time, the above problem will not occur. However, if the profiling support plate cannot be separated from the blank in time, it will cause the blank taking device to wait for a long time, thereby affecting the production efficiency of the blank.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new blank taking device. Content of the Utility Model
[0006] The utility model provides a blank taking device with a quick replacement mechanism, which solves the problem that the existing blank taking device has low production efficiency due to the need to wait for the separation of the profiling support plate from the blank.
[0007] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows: A blank taking device with a quick replacement mechanism, comprising:
[0008] A manipulator;
[0009] A connecting seat, arranged at the execution end of the manipulator;
[0010] A bracket, arranged on the connecting seat. There is a placement gap between the bracket and the connecting seat. A quick installation hole is formed on the bracket, and the quick installation hole communicates with the placement gap. The placement gap is used to place the profiling support plate. A sleeve hole is formed on the profiling support plate, and the profiling support plate is used to carry the blank;
[0011] A fork arm, arranged on the connecting seat and used to lift the profiling support plate;
[0012] A quick-change mechanism is provided on the connection seat. The quick-change mechanism includes a telescopic positioning pin that can pass through the placement gap and the bushing hole and penetrate into the quick-installation hole.
[0013] A controller is electrically connected to the quick-change mechanism.
[0014] As a further technical means, the quick-change mechanism further includes:
[0015] A bracket is provided on the connection seat;
[0016] A cylinder is provided on the bracket and electrically connected to the controller. The positioning pin is provided at the pushing end of the cylinder;
[0017] A sensor is provided on the bracket and electrically connected to the controller. The sensor is used to sense whether the profiling pallet exists in the placement gap.
[0018] As a further technical means, there are multiple quick-installation holes, positioning pins, and cylinders, which are arranged in a one-to-one manner.
[0019] As a further technical means, multiple cylinders are arranged on the bracket in a uniformly distributed form.

Among them, the connecting seat is arranged at the execution end of the manipulator, the bracket is arranged on the connecting seat, there is a storage gap between the bracket and the connecting seat, a quick-installation hole is opened on the bracket, and the quick-installation hole communicates with the storage gap. The profiling support plate is used to carry the blank, and the profiling support plate can penetrate into the storage gap. A bushing hole is opened on the profiling support plate. When the profiling support plate is placed in the storage gap, the bushing hole and the quick-installation hole are coaxially arranged. Then, the positioning pin can protrude and simultaneously penetrate into the bushing hole and the quick-installation hole, thereby realizing the positioning of the profiling support plate in the storage gap. Since the fork arm is arranged on the connecting seat and the function of the fork arm is to provide a supporting force for the profiling support plate, therefore, the cooperation between the bracket and the fork arm can fix the profiling support plate, and this fixing form is very safe and reliable.

[0031] Next, in combination with the embodiments of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described. 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 in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0032] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, this embodiment proposes a blank taking device with a quick change mechanism, including:
[0033] A manipulator;
[0034] A connecting seat 1, arranged at the execution end of the manipulator;
[0035] A bracket 2, arranged on the connecting seat 1. There is a placing gap between the bracket 2 and the connecting seat 1. A quick installation hole 3 is provided on the bracket 2, and the quick installation hole 3 communicates with the placing gap. The placing gap is used to place a profiling support plate. A bushing hole is provided on the profiling support plate, and the profiling support plate is used to carry the blank;
[0036] A fork arm 4, arranged on the connecting seat 1 and used to lift the profiling support plate;
[0037] A quick change mechanism, arranged on the connecting seat 1. The quick change mechanism includes a retractable positioning pin 7, and the positioning pin 7 can pass through the placing gap and the bushing hole and penetrate into the quick installation hole 3;
[0038] A controller, electrically connected to the quick change mechanism.
[0039] In this embodiment, the blank picking device with a quick-change mechanism includes a manipulator, a connecting seat 1, a bracket 2, a fork arm 4, a quick-change mechanism, and a controller. Among them, the connecting seat 1 is arranged at the execution end of the manipulator, the bracket 2 is arranged on the connecting seat 1, there is a placement gap between the bracket 2 and the connecting seat 1, a quick-installation hole 3 is formed on the bracket 2, and the quick-installation hole 3 communicates with the placement gap. The profiling support plate is used to carry the blank, and the profiling support plate can penetrate into the placement gap. A bushing hole is formed on the profiling support plate. When the profiling support plate is placed in the placement gap, the bushing hole and the quick-installation hole 3 are coaxially arranged. Then, the positioning pin 7 can protrude and simultaneously penetrate into the bushing hole and the quick-installation hole 3, thereby realizing the positioning of the profiling support plate in the placement gap. Since the fork arm 4 is arranged on the connecting seat 1 and the function of the fork arm 4 is to provide a supporting force for the profiling support plate, the cooperation between the bracket 2 and the fork arm 4 can fix the profiling support plate, and this fixing form is very safe and reliable. And when the profiling support plate contacts the external structure, by removing the positioning pin 7 and separating the fork arm 4 from the profiling support plate, the profiling support plate can be left on the external structure. This method improves the transportation efficiency of the blank, and the blank moves synchronously with the profiling support plate, and can also reduce the transfer times of the blank, thereby reducing the damage risk of the blank.
[0040] For the blank picking device provided by the present utility model, since the profiling support plate can be separated from the bracket 2 and the fork arm 4 in a timely and rapid manner, the profiling support plate and the blank can enter the static rack together. Then, the blank picking device takes away the profiling support plate without the blank. Only by setting two or more profiling support plates can the production efficiency be ensured, and there will be no problem that the appearance of the blank is defective due to the short combination time of the blank and the profiling support plate.
[0041] Further, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, this embodiment proposes that the quick-change mechanism further includes:
[0042] A bracket 5, arranged on the connecting seat 1;
[0043] A cylinder 6, arranged on the bracket 5 and electrically connected to the controller, and a positioning pin 7 is arranged at the pushing end of the cylinder 6;
[0044] A sensor 8, arranged on the bracket 5 and electrically connected to the controller, and the sensor 8 is used to sense whether there is a profiling support plate in the placement gap.
[0045] In this embodiment, to make the quick-change mechanism simple and easy to operate and convenient for maintenance, the quick-change mechanism further includes a bracket 5, a cylinder 6, and a sensor 8. The bracket 5 is arranged on the connecting seat 1, and the bracket 5 and the bracket 2 are respectively located on the symmetric sides of the connecting seat 1. The cylinder 6 is arranged on the bracket 5. The cylinder 6 is connected to the air source through components such as air pipes and valves. The valve arranged on the air pipe is electrically connected to the controller, so that the action of the cylinder 6 can be controlled, and further the positioning pin 7 arranged on the push end of the cylinder 6 can be controlled. The sensor 8 is arranged on the bracket 5 and electrically connected to the controller. The sensor 8 is used to sense whether there is a profiling pallet in the placement gap.
[0046] When the sensor 8 suddenly senses the profiling pallet, it transmits a signal to the controller. The controller will control the action of the cylinder 6, and further make the positioning pin 7 penetrate into the bushing hole and the quick-installation hole 3, thereby realizing the action of the blank-taking device to grab the profiling pallet and the blank.
[0047] Further, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, in this embodiment, it is proposed that there are multiple quick-installation holes 3, positioning pins 7, and cylinders 6, and they are arranged in a one-to-one manner. Multiple cylinders 6 are arranged on the bracket 5 in a uniformly distributed form.
[0048] In this embodiment, to improve the stability of the profiling pallet after being installed in the placement gap, the quick-installation holes 3, positioning pins 7, and cylinders 6 are all set to be multiple, and a one-to-one setting form is adopted. At this time, the bushing holes on the profiling pallet also need to be set to the same number and adopt a one-to-one setting form. And the cylinders 6 are arranged on the bracket 5 in a uniformly distributed form, so that the overall center of gravity of the device will not deviate too much from the center, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the entire device during the movement process.
[0049] Further, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, in this embodiment, it is proposed that the bracket 2 is L-shaped and is detachably arranged on the connecting seat 1. There are multiple brackets 2 and they are symmetrically arranged.
[0050] In this embodiment, to make it easier to place the profiling pallet in the placement gap, the bracket 2 is set to be L-shaped. In this way, the bracket 2 is divided into a horizontal part and a vertical part. The vertical part is connected to the connecting seat 1, and the horizontal part is used to connect the profiling pallet. The quick-installation hole 3 is opened on the horizontal part.
[0051] In a practical application situation, two brackets 2 are set and are arranged at the bottom of the connecting seat 1 in a plane-symmetrical form. The quick-change mechanism is arranged on the top of the connecting seat 1. The quick-change mechanism includes four cylinders 6 and four positioning pins 7. Two quick-installation holes 3 are opened on the horizontal part of the pallet, for a total of four quick-installation holes 3.
[0052] Further, as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, this embodiment also proposes a six-axis adapter plate 9, which is arranged between the manipulator and the connecting seat 1.
[0053] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate a detachable connection form between the execution end of the manipulator and the connecting seat 1, a six-axis adapter plate 9 is provided on the connecting seat 1, and the six-axis adapter plate 9 is fixedly arranged on the execution end of the manipulator in a detachable form.
[0054] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
