Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model is applied to the technical field of product loading and unloading, and particularly relates to a ping-pong double-claw mechanism. Background Art

[0002] During the industrial production of mobile phones, semi-finished screens require stress testing. Prior to stress testing, the product must be clamped to a testing station and then placed inside a testing machine for testing. During the loading and unloading process, grippers or robots are used to transfer the product. Previous equipment was designed for a stress test time of 8 seconds per product, which was inefficient. To meet the same production capacity requirements, more equipment would be required. Furthermore, current technology requires one hand to pick up the material and the other to place it, and even two testing machines would require waiting for material changes. This method, combined with the time required for material changes and testing, is long and cannot meet the needs of high-speed production. Alternatively, increasing production capacity by combining multiple sets of testing mechanisms with multiple sets of robotic equipment is costly and requires a larger space to accommodate multiple sets of equipment, making it unsuitable for smaller production workshops. A ping-pong double-claw mechanism with a simple structure, stable product retention, independent action of the two claws to improve loading and unloading efficiency, and a more adaptable adjustment mechanism could address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the existing technology and provide a ping-pong double-claw mechanism with a simple structure, stable product adsorption, independent movement of double claws to improve loading and unloading efficiency, and a more adaptable adjustment mechanism.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: the present invention includes a double-motor linear module, a gripper module and a testing machine assembly, the gripper module includes a support plate, a vacuum generator, a docking plate, a number of lifting cylinders and a number of claw modules, the two groups of vacuum generators are respectively connected to the movable ends at both ends of the double-motor linear module through the support plate, the docking plate is connected to the support plate, and the several claw modules are slidably matched with the lower end of the outer side of the docking plate through the first slide rail, the several lifting cylinders are arranged at the upper end of the outer side of the docking plate, the movable ends of the several lifting cylinders are respectively connected to the several claw modules, the output ends of the vacuum generator are respectively connected and conducted with the claw modules, and the two groups of testing machine assemblies are arranged at the lower end of the double-motor linear module, and the double-motor linear module drives the two groups of gripper modules to cooperate with the corresponding testing machine assemblies.

[0005] Furthermore, the claw module includes a sliding plate, a mounting plate and a plurality of vacuum claws, the sliding plate is connected to the movable end of the first slide rail, the plurality of vacuum claws are connected to the sliding plate through the mounting plate, and the plurality of vacuum claws are connected to the vacuum generator.

[0006] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with a limit adjustment groove, and the fixed ends of the plurality of vacuum suction claws are limitedly matched with the limit adjustment groove.

[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of the vacuum suction claws are provided with a suction cup structure at the ends in contact with the product, and the double-actuator linear module and the plurality of the lifting cylinders cooperate to drive the plurality of the vacuum suction claws to cooperate with the external loading structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the testing machine assembly includes a testing machine, a small gas tank and a pressure regulating valve, and several of the claw modules drive several products to cooperate with the testing machine.

[0009] Furthermore, the testing machine is slidably matched with an external testing machine via a plurality of second slide rails.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the disadvantage of the current technology is that one hand is used to pick up the material and the other hand is used to put it down. Similarly, there will be a problem of waiting for material change when there are two test devices. In response to such a situation, the present invention is improved into a mechanism that can pick up the material with both hands and put it down with both hands. This structure can complete the production of two products in 6.25 seconds on one side, which increases the production capacity by 28% compared to the original design. Therefore, the equipment length achieved in this project is shorter than that of the old equipment, and the production capacity is twice that of the traditional equipment. The design of the ping-pong double claws is fast, which mainly saves the number of reciprocating runs. At the same time, because many actions are performed synchronously, time is also saved. Therefore, the action time and the test time just overlap in the timetable, so that the test machine can achieve the maximum effect and has no standby time, thereby increasing the overall production capacity.

[0015] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, the utility model includes a double-motor linear module 1, a gripper module 2 and a testing machine assembly 3, the gripper module 2 includes a support plate 4, a vacuum generator 5, a docking plate 6, a number of lifting cylinders 7 and a number of claw modules 8, the two groups of vacuum generators 5 are respectively connected to the movable ends at both ends of the double-motor linear module 1 through the support plate 4, the docking plate 6 is connected to the support plate 4, and the several claw modules 8 are slidably matched with the lower end of the outer side of the docking plate 6 through the first slide rail 9, the several lifting cylinders 7 are arranged at the upper end of the outer side of the docking plate 6, and the movable ends of the several lifting cylinders 7 are respectively connected to the several claw modules 8, the output ends of the vacuum generator 5 are respectively connected to the claw modules 8, and the two groups of testing machine assemblies 3 are arranged at the lower end of the double-motor linear module 1, and the double-motor linear module 1 drives the two groups of gripper modules 2 to cooperate with the corresponding testing machine assemblies 3. It can be seen that a group of the gripper modules 2 are respectively provided at the movable ends of the two ends of the double-motor linear module 1, and two groups of the testing machine components 3 are respectively provided at the lower end of the double-motor linear module 1. The synchronous movement between the two groups of the gripper modules 2 can save the time for loading and unloading materials. The action time and the test time just overlap in the schedule, so that the testing machine can achieve the maximum effect and has no standby time, thereby increasing the overall production capacity.

[0016] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the claw module 8 includes a sliding plate 10, a mounting plate 11, and a plurality of vacuum claws 12. The sliding plate 10 is connected to the movable end of the first slide rail 9. The plurality of vacuum claws 12 are connected to the sliding plate 10 via the mounting plate 11. The plurality of vacuum claws 12 are connected to the vacuum generator 5. As can be seen, the claw module 8 can be equipped with four sets of vacuum claws 12, which can be used with a variety of mobile phone screen products to ensure stable adsorption.

[0017] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting plate 11 is provided with a limit adjustment groove 13, and the fixed ends of the plurality of vacuum suction claws 12 are limitedly engaged with the limit adjustment groove 13. Thus, the plurality of vacuum suction claws 12 can be slidably adjusted within the limit adjustment groove 13 to meet the needs of products of different sizes.

[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, several of the vacuum claws 12 are equipped with suction cup structures at the ends that contact the product. The dual-actuator linear module 1 and the lifting cylinders 7 cooperate to drive the vacuum claws 12 to cooperate with the external loading structure. This shows that the suction cup structure can ensure stable suction and transfer without scratching the product.

[0019] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the testing machine assembly 3 includes a testing machine 14, a small gas tank 15, and a pressure regulating valve 16. Several of the claw modules 8 drive several products to cooperate with the testing machine 14. Thus, the testing machine 14 can test multiple groups of products and cooperates with the double-actuator linear module 1 and the gripper module 2 through the small gas tank 15 and the pressure regulating valve 16.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the tester 14 slides with the external inspection machine via a plurality of second slide rails 17. Thus, the second slide rails 17 can adjust the position of the tester 14 to ensure that products of different sizes can be stably docked with the tester 14.

[0021] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: one group of the gripper modules 2 simultaneously grabs two products of the external loading mechanism at the loading position, and moves to the testing machine 14 at the far end through the double-acting linear module 1 and several of the lifting cylinders 7 and puts down one product. After putting down the product, the testing machine 14 immediately starts testing, and the gripper module 2 moves to the testing machine 14 at the near end and puts down product No. 2, and the other group of the testing machines 14 starts testing. At this time, the two groups of the gripper modules 2 act at the same time. When the gripper module 2 completes the discharge and moves to the loading position to grab two products, the other group of the gripper modules 2 follows to the corresponding testing machine 14 to grab the product that has been tested immediately after the test is completed. When the gripper module 2 that has taken the material takes the material again, the other group of the gripper modules 2 unloads the product that has been tested, and the above actions are circulated to realize the ping-pong double-claw loading and unloading.

[0022] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described with practical solutions, they do not limit the meaning of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious to modify the implementation scheme and combine it with other solutions based on this description.
