Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automation equipment, in particular to a fully automatic universal small parts plating device. Background Art

[0002] Metal Injection Molding, or MIM for short, is a method of injection molding that mixes metal powder and a binder. The selected powder is first mixed with a binder, then the mixture is granulated and injection molded into the desired shape. The binder is removed through degreasing and sintering to obtain the desired metal product. Alternatively, the product can be further refined through surface treatment, heat treatment, machining, and other methods after molding.

[0003] Before degreasing, the injected semi-finished products need to be placed on a plate to avoid adhesion of the product during the degreasing and sintering process, and to prevent uncontrollable deformation of the product.

[0004] There are two traditional ways of plating: manual and using traditional plating equipment. The disadvantage of manual plating is low efficiency and waste of manpower; the disadvantage of traditional plating equipment is that it must be a dedicated machine, and one device can only produce one product. If there are some products with relatively small order volumes, the recovery rate of investing in a dedicated machine is low. For this reason, we have proposed a fully automatic universal small parts plating equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a fully automatic universal small parts plating equipment to solve the problems of low efficiency and waste of manpower in manual plating proposed in the background technology. Traditional plating equipment must be dedicated to a specific machine and one device can only produce one product. If there are some products with relatively small order quantities, the recovery rate of investing in a dedicated machine is low.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A fully automatic general-purpose small parts plating device comprises a workbench, a conveyor belt is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the workbench, two support frames are arranged on the conveyor belt, the two support frames are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the conveyor belt, the two support frames are respectively fixedly mounted on both sides of the upper surface of the workbench near the edge, the upper surface of one of the support frames is provided with a first crawler, the upper surface of the other support frame is fixedly installed with a first guide rod, a mounting frame is arranged above the support frame, one end of the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the first crawler, and the other end is slidably connected to the first guide rod, and the upper surface of the mounting frame is provided with a side away from the conveyor belt There is a second crawler, and a second guide rod is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting frame close to the conveyor belt. A robotic arm is fixedly installed on the second crawler, and the robotic arm and the second guide rod are slidably connected. A plurality of third crawlers are vertically arranged in sequence on the side of the robotic arm away from the second crawler, and a swing plate module is fixedly installed on the bottom end of each of the third crawlers. A feeding platform is fixedly installed on the edge of the side of the upper surface of the workbench facing the third crawler, and a flexible vibration plate is provided on the bottom of the feeding platform facing the conveyor belt, and the bottom of the flexible vibration plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench, and a camera is provided directly above the flexible vibration plate.

[0008] First, the material tray is sent to the designated position through the conveyor belt, and then the movement of the robotic arm is controlled by the first crawler and the second crawler. The first crawler controls the robotic arm to move along the Y-axis direction, and the second crawler controls the robotic arm to move along the X-axis direction. When the robotic arm moves above the flexible vibration disk, the third crawler controls the swing plate module to move along the Z-axis direction, grab the parts in the flexible vibration disk and place them on the material tray. The material tray is provided with grooves for placing parts. The parts need to be placed in the grooves of the material tray at a specific angle. Therefore, a camera is set on the flexible vibration disk. The camera identifies the angle of the parts in the flexible vibration disk, and then guides the robotic arm and the swing plate module to move and grab the parts that meet the angle. If the camera does not recognize a matching part, the flexible vibration disk is controlled to vibrate so that the part vibrates, and then the camera is used for identification. When the flexible vibration disk vibrates, it will also drive the feeding table to vibrate, so that the parts in the feeding table fall into the flexible vibration disk, ensuring that there are sufficient parts in the flexible vibration disk. When the material tray is full of parts, it is transported out through the conveyor belt.

[0009] Preferably, a tray trough for placing trays is fixedly mounted at one end of the conveyor belt. A passage for a tray to pass through is provided between the tray trough and the conveyor belt. A through chute is provided on the upper surface of the tray trough, facing the conveyor belt. A push block is slidably mounted within the chute. The push block slides via a cylinder connected to the bottom. The height of the push block on the upper surface of the tray trough is less than the height of the tray. Multiple trays can be placed in the tray trough at the same time, and the push block can be used to sequentially deliver the trays to the conveyor belt, eliminating the need for manual placement of the trays.

[0010] Preferably, a guide rail is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of each of the two support frames on one side facing the middle of the workbench, a matching guide groove is provided on the lower surface of the mounting frame corresponding to the position of the guide rail, and the mounting frame is slidably mounted on the support frame. The first crawler controls the mounting frame to slide along the Y-axis on the support frame.

[0011] The wobble tray module preferably includes a hollow rotary motor, a placement head, and a suction nozzle. The output end of the hollow rotary motor faces downward and is fixedly connected to the placement head. The suction nozzle is detachably mounted at the lower end of the placement head. Each hollow rotary motor operates independently, allowing for flexible adaptation to different matrix wobble tray requirements.

[0012] Preferably, the suction nozzle is designed according to the product size, so that the corresponding suction nozzle can be quickly replaced according to different products.

[0013] Preferably, the upper edge of the flexible vibrating plate, on the side away from the conveyor belt, contacts the bottom of the feeding platform. Vibration of the flexible vibrating plate drives the feeding platform to vibrate. The vibration of the flexible vibrating plate drives the feeding platform to vibrate, causing parts in the feeding platform to fall into the flexible vibrating plate due to vibration, thereby achieving automatic feeding.

[0014] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the workbench, and the camera is fixedly mounted above the flexible vibration plate via the fixing frame.

[0015] Preferably, a photoelectric sensor is fixedly mounted on the side of the conveyor belt at a position corresponding to the flexible vibrating plate, with the output end of the photoelectric sensor facing the upper surface of the conveyor belt. The photoelectric sensor identifies the position of the material tray and controls the conveyor belt to stop when the material tray reaches the specified position.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution adopted by the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0017] By setting up the first crawler, the second crawler, the third crawler and the swing plate module, the function of automatic swing plate is realized, saving labor costs; by setting up a mounting head, a suction nozzle is detachably installed on the mounting head, and the suction nozzle is designed according to the product size, so that the swing plate equipment can swing plates for parts of different sizes, improving versatility; by setting up a conveyor belt, a material tray trough, a flexible vibration plate and a feeding table, the swing plate equipment can automatically replace the material tray and replenish parts, ensuring continuous work and improving work efficiency.
