Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of magnetic component processing, in particular to a two-position conveying mechanism for a jig plate exiting a tunnel furnace. Background Art

[0002] In today's industrial automation sector, particularly in the 3C and motor industries, the assembly and production of magnetic components place extremely high demands on precision and efficiency. During the magnetic assembly process, jig plates are often used for precise positioning, followed by curing in a tunnel furnace. Traditional jig plate handling mechanisms, between the tunnel furnace discharge and the jig conveyor line, typically utilize stepper or servo motors to drive modules, with grippers fixed to the modules for handling.

[0003] Although this method has achieved automation to a certain extent, it has the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1. The high cost of equipment increases the investment burden of enterprises;

[0005] Second, in order to improve efficiency, the tunnel furnace usually produces more than two rows of fixture plates at the same time, so at least two positions need to be grasped. Traditional mechanisms often find it difficult to achieve flexible and efficient transfer, limiting the overall efficiency and flexibility of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0012] Furthermore, the X-axis cylinder assembly includes an X-axis slide rail and an X-axis cylinder. The X-axis slide rail is fixed on the stand, and the X-axis cylinder performs linear reciprocating motion along the X-axis slide rail.

[0013] Furthermore, the Y-axis cylinder assembly includes a Y-axis slide rail and a Y-axis cylinder. The Y-axis slide rail is fixed on the left and right sets of X-axis cylinder assemblies, and the Y-axis cylinder performs linear reciprocating motion along the Y-axis slide rail.

[0038] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] The utility model provides a two-position transport mechanism 3 for jig plates out of a tunnel furnace, which is arranged at the discharge end of a tunnel furnace 1 and the feed end of a jig conveyor line 2 and is used to transfer jig plates 4 out of the tunnel furnace 1 to the jig conveyor line 2.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the two-position transport mechanism 3 for the jig plate out of the tunnel furnace includes a workbench 31, an X-axis cylinder assembly 33, a Y-axis cylinder assembly 34, a Z-axis cylinder assembly 35 and a clamping claw assembly 36, and the clamping claw assembly 36 is used to clamp or release the jig plate 4.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, a workbench 31 is provided with vertical frames 32 on either side, each of which is equipped with a set of X-axis cylinder assemblies 33. Y-axis cylinder assemblies 34 are mounted on the left and right X-axis cylinder assemblies 33 and driven by the X-axis cylinder assemblies 33 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the X-axis. Z-axis cylinder assembly 35 is mounted on the Y-axis cylinder assembly 34 and driven by the Y-axis cylinder assembly 34 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the Y-axis. The lower end of the Z-axis cylinder assembly 35 is connected to a gripper assembly 36, which is driven by the Z-axis cylinder assembly 35 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the Z-axis. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis cylinder assemblies 35 form a three-axis moving mechanism to transfer the fixture plate 4 grasped by the gripper assembly 36.

[0042] In this embodiment, the workbench 31 is mounted on a base 37. Figure 3 As shown, the base 37 serves as the basic supporting structure of the entire transport mechanism 3 , which not only bears the weight of the workbench 31 and all components thereon, but also ensures the stability and precision of the transport mechanism 3 during operation.

[0043] Key References Figure 2 and Figure 4 The X-axis cylinder assembly 33 includes an X-axis slide 331 and an X-axis cylinder 332. The X-axis slide 331 is fixed to the stand 32, and the X-axis cylinder 332 performs linear reciprocating motion along the X-axis slide 331. The Y-axis cylinder assembly 34 includes a Y-axis slide 341, a Y-axis cylinder 342, and a connecting plate. The Y-axis slide 341 is fixed to the left and right cylinder bodies of the X-axis cylinder 332 through the connecting plate, and the Y-axis cylinder 342 performs linear reciprocating motion along the Y-axis slide 341. The Y-axis slide 341 is fixed to the cylinder body of the X-axis cylinder 332 through a connecting assembly 38. The connecting assembly 38 includes an intermediate plate 381 and two side plates 382. The two side plates 382 are fixed to both sides of the intermediate plate 381 through right-angle pieces 383. The Y-axis slide 341 is fixed to the intermediate plate 381, and the two side plates 382 are respectively connected to the cylinder bodies of the X-axis cylinder 332 on both sides.

[0044] Key References Figure 2 and Figure 4The Z-axis cylinder assembly 35 includes a cylinder fixing seat 351 and a slide cylinder 352. The slide cylinder 352 is fixed to the cylinder body of the Y-axis cylinder 342 through the cylinder fixing seat 351. The lower end of the slide cylinder 352 is connected to the clamping claw assembly 36. Figure 5 As shown, the clamping jaw assembly 36 includes a first clamping jaw 361, a second clamping jaw 362 and a clamping jaw cylinder 363. The clamping jaw cylinder 363 is connected to the slide cylinder 352. The first clamping jaw 361 and the second clamping jaw 362 are respectively installed on both sides of the clamping jaw cylinder 363. The clamping jaw cylinder 363 drives the first clamping jaw 361 and the second clamping jaw 362 to move closer to or away from each other, thereby clamping or releasing the fixture plate 4.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, after the tunnel furnace 1, the transport mechanism 3 and the fixture conveyor line 2 are arranged, the two discharge positions 11 of the tunnel furnace 1 extend above the workbench 31, which makes it easier for the clamps on the moving mechanism to grab the fixture plate 4.

[0046] The operation process of the two-position transport mechanism 3 of the fixture plate out of the tunnel furnace of the utility model is as follows:

[0047] After the jig plate 4 emerges from the tunnel furnace 1 and reaches the discharge position 11, the slide cylinder 352 drives the gripper to rise, and the gripper cylinder 363 drives the gripper to open. The X-axis cylinder 332 moves to the top of the jig plate 4 at the discharge position 11. The slide cylinder 352 drives the gripper to descend, and the gripper cylinder 363 drives the gripper to grasp the jig plate 4. Then the slide cylinder 352 rises again, and the X-axis and Y-axis cylinders move to the top of the jig conveyor line 2, placing the jig plate 4 on the conveyor line for transmission. The gripper then returns to grab the jig plate 4 at another discharge position 11 of the tunnel furnace 1. Here, the Y-axis cylinder 342 changes position to grab the jig plate 4.
