Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of workpiece stacking, in particular to a workpiece blanking tool. Background Art
[0002] Air conditioner outdoor unit chassis contain a wide variety of parts. These parts typically consist of a base plate and a support frame located on either the front or back of the base plate. The side of the base plate without the support frame is smooth. Therefore, when these parts are stacked or transported from the production line, the presence of the support frame can lead to significant waste of storage space if they are stacked in the same direction.
[0003] In the prior art, for this type of workpiece, two adjacent workpieces need to be manually stacked front-to-back at the end of the production line. That is, at the output end of the production line, all workpieces are output with the front or back facing up. At the output end, the operator manually stacks the two adjacent workpieces on the side without the support frame. This ensures that the two adjacent workpieces are stacked on a smooth surface, saving space. The stacked workpieces are then palletized or transported after output, which improves workpiece storage efficiency and reduces storage space.
[0004] For heavier workpieces, manual stacking is labor-intensive. Furthermore, friction between the workpieces during stacking can cause noise or collision damage, impacting the workpiece's performance and stability. Furthermore, during the delivery process, manually stacked workpieces can collide with the sidewalls at the end of the delivery line due to the thrust. The noise and impact generated by these collisions not only affect the comfort of the production environment but also the workpiece's performance and stability.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to find new blanking tooling that is compatible with the shape of the workpiece and can easily achieve stacking of adjacent workpieces on the front and back. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a workpiece unloading tool, which uses a flipping component to flip one of the adjacent workpieces, and the other workpiece does not need to be flipped, so as to achieve stacking of workpieces on the front and back sides; avoiding manual operation and improving the efficiency and accuracy of workpiece stacking.
[0007] A workpiece unloading tool, wherein a support frame is provided on the front or back side of the workpiece; the workpiece unloading tool comprises a unloading slide and a conveying assembly, the feed end of the unloading slide is provided with a flipping assembly, and the discharge end of the unloading slide is provided with a blocking assembly; the conveying assembly is used to place the workpiece on the feed end of the unloading slide via the flipping assembly, and the workpiece will be reversed when placed via the flipping assembly, or the conveying assembly directly places the workpiece on the feed end of the unloading slide.
[0008] This application is aimed at workpieces with the same orientation and transmission direction, especially workpieces with a smooth front side and a support frame on the back side. For the transmission of two adjacent workpieces, the handling component places one of the workpieces in the unloading slide through the flipping component, and places the other workpiece directly in the unloading slide. That is, the two adjacent workpieces can be transmitted in different orientations, so that the smooth surfaces of the two adjacent workpieces are stacked together, saving workpiece placement and storage space and improving the workpiece stacking efficiency and accuracy.
[0009] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a pushing component is provided at the feeding end of the unloading slide rail, and the pushing component is used to push the workpiece placed at the front end of the unloading slide rail.
[0010] The pushing component can specifically be a power component such as a cylinder or a motor. When the pushing component is extended, it can provide a thrust to the workpiece placed at the front end of the unloading slide, so that the pushing component moves along the unloading slide to the end position, and hits the blocking component at the end position to realize the transmission of the workpiece. The present application sets a pushing component, which can adapt to unloading slides of all shapes and positions. Regardless of whether the unloading slide is a horizontal track or an inclined track, the thrust of the pushing component can realize the transmission and stacking of the workpiece, thereby improving the versatility of the position and installation of the unloading slide, and improving the scope of use and applicable scenarios of the device of the present application.
[0011] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the unloading slide rail includes a first slide rail and a second slide rail connected in sequence, the first slide rail is an inclined slide rail, and the flip assembly is located above the first slide rail; the second slide rail is a horizontal slide rail.
[0012] The present application can realize automatic transmission of workpieces through an inclined first slide rail and a horizontal second slide rail. The workpiece needs to be placed in the inclined first slide rail first, and then slide to the horizontal second slide rail by the workpiece's own gravity. In the second slide rail, the workpiece uses its inertia to move to the discharge end of the second slide rail. This can reduce the impact force of the workpiece on the blocking component, increase the service life of the blocking component, and further reduce the impact intensity and impact noise.
[0013] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the flip assembly is a rotating shaft arranged above the first slide rail, and the axis of the rotating shaft is parallel to the plane where the first slide rail is located and perpendicular to the extension direction of the first slide rail.
[0014] In the present application, the front or back of the workpiece is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the support frame is a raised structure arranged on the front or back of the workpiece. In the present application, the flip assembly can be specifically a rotating shaft, which is arranged above the first slide rail and perpendicular to the extension direction of the first slide rail. When the transport assembly clamps and transports the workpiece, assuming that the front of the workpiece is facing down, if it does not need to pass through the flip assembly, the transport assembly directly places the workpiece facing down in the first slide rail. If it needs to pass through the flip assembly, the transport assembly places the workpiece facing down on the rotating shaft, and the center of gravity of the workpiece placed on the rotating shaft is biased toward the feed end of the first slide rail. Under the action of gravity, the workpiece falls from the rotating shaft to the feed end of the first slide rail to achieve the flipping of the workpiece. The present application has a simple rotating shaft structure and is easy to install. It can also achieve the flipping of the front and back of the workpiece without changing the clamping direction of the transport assembly, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of the workpiece flipping transmission.
[0015] In a better technical solution of the present invention, two blocking components are provided, and the two blocking components are respectively located on both sides of the end of the unloading slide rail. In the first direction, the minimum distance between the two blocking components is less than or equal to the size of the workpiece. The first direction refers to the connection direction of the two blocking components.
[0016] Because the workpiece has a certain width, this application provides two blocking components, one on the left and one on the right, to intercept the workpiece as it is transferred to the end of the unloading slide. The blocking components in this application can be made of flexible material to prevent damage to the workpiece caused by excessive impact when the workpiece is transferred to the end of the unloading slide. When positioning the blocking components, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the blocking components is less than the width of the workpiece, ensuring that the blocking components can fully contact both sides of the workpiece.
[0017] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the blocking assembly includes a blocking slide rail and a blocking block, the blocking slide rail is fixed to the discharge end of the unloading slide rail; the blocking block is slidably located inside the blocking slide rail.
[0018] The present application sets a blocking component capable of adjusting the position of the block for workpieces of different widths to adapt to the interception of workpieces of different sizes. In actual operation, the blocking slide is fixed at the discharge end of the unloading slide. At the same time, a sliding block is set in the blocking slide. The position of the block in the blocking slide can be adjusted according to the height or width of the workpiece to ensure that the workpiece can hit the block; after the block position is fixed, the position of the block in the blocking slide can be fixed by components such as limit screws to avoid the position of the block from shifting during the transmission of the same workpiece. The position-adjustable block structure of the present application can be used for the transmission of workpieces of different sizes and models, which improves the scope of application of the unloading tooling of the present application.
[0019] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the sliding direction of the stopper is perpendicular to the extending direction of the second slide rail.
[0020] The present application specifies that the sliding direction of the stopper is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second slide rail. For example, if the extension direction of the second slide rail is the horizontal X-axis, the sliding direction of the stopper can be the horizontal Y-axis or the vertical Z-axis. The sliding direction of the stopper is the movement and adjustment direction of the stopper. When the stopper moves along the Y-axis, it can adapt to workpieces of different widths. When the stopper moves along the Z-axis, it can adapt to workpieces of different heights. The present application can configure the blocking slide rail to extend in one direction or in both directions simultaneously to further expand the scope of application of the workpiece unloading tooling.
[0021] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a baffle is provided in the unloading slide rail, and the distance between the baffle and the blocking assembly is equal to the size of the workpiece.
[0022] Since the workpiece in this application is stopped by hitting the blocking component when it is transmitted to the end of the unloading slide, if the impact force is too large, the workpiece will rebound and cannot be accurately limited to the discharge end position of the unloading slide. The purpose of setting the baffle in this application is to prevent the workpiece from rebounding after the collision. In actual operation, the baffle can be connected to the driving cylinder, and an induction sensor can be set on the side of the baffle. When the induction sensor senses the passage of the workpiece, the driving cylinder pushes the baffle out to achieve the limitation of the workpiece. If the induction sensor does not detect the passage of the workpiece, the driving cylinder drives the baffle to retract to avoid interference with the normal transmission of the workpiece.
[0023] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the unloading slide includes a plurality of parallel roller groups. When the workpiece is placed in the unloading slide, the support frame is located in the gap between the roller groups.
[0024] Since the blanking tooling in this application needs to adapt to the transmission mode of the workpiece facing down or facing up, the blanking slide in this application needs to avoid interference with the support frame in the workpiece. Correspondingly, this application sets the blanking slide as a parallel roller group, each roller group includes a number of rollers set at a time, and each roller group is used to transmit different positions of the workpiece, thereby realizing the transmission of various positions in the width direction of the workpiece. When setting the roller group, it is necessary to set it according to the position of the support frame in the workpiece to ensure that the support frame is located in the gap of the roller group. Furthermore, this application can also set the roller group to a sliding form, and the sliding direction is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the roller group. In this way, when the position of the support frame in the workpiece is different, the position of the roller group can be adjusted so that the gap between the roller groups is adapted to the position of the support frame in the workpiece, so as to further improve the scope of application of the workpiece blanking tooling of this application.
[0025] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a placement groove is provided at the discharge end of the unloading slide rail, and the depth of the placement groove is equal to the height of the workpiece.
[0026] When the workpiece unloading fixture is used to achieve stacking of the front and back sides of adjacent workpieces, a placement groove can be set at the discharge end of the unloading slide. The placement groove is a concave structure. When the first workpiece is transferred to the end of the unloading slide, it will fall into the placement groove. The depth of the placement groove is equal to the height of the workpiece. At this time, the upper surface of the workpiece is flush with the upper surface of the placement groove, that is, with the surface of the unloading slide. At this time, the second workpiece is transferred to ensure that the second workpiece is stacked above the first workpiece. At the same time, the handling component places one of the workpieces in the unloading track through the flip component, and the other workpiece is directly placed in the unloading track. This ensures that the first and second workpieces are stacked with the front faces facing oppositely, so as to achieve a stacking structure in which the smooth surfaces of the workpieces are stacked together and the support frames are relatively set.
[0027] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0028] The present invention provides a workpiece unloading fixture, wherein a support frame is provided on the front or back side of the workpiece; the specific workpiece unloading fixture includes a unloading slide and a transport assembly, the feed end of the unloading slide is provided with a flip assembly, and the discharge end of the unloading slide is provided with a blocking assembly; the transport assembly is used to place the workpiece on the feed end of the unloading slide through the flip assembly, and the workpiece will reverse when placed by the flip assembly, or the transport assembly directly places the workpiece on the feed end of the unloading slide. The present application is directed to workpieces with the same orientation and transmission direction, especially workpieces with a smooth front and a support frame provided on the back. For the transmission of two adjacent workpieces, the transport assembly places one of the workpieces on the unloading slide through the flip assembly, and places the other workpiece directly on the unloading slide, that is, the two adjacent workpieces can be transmitted in different directions, thereby stacking the smooth surfaces of the two adjacent workpieces together, saving workpiece placement and storage space, and improving workpiece stacking efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, the present application sets a blocking assembly at the end of the unloading slide to limit the stacked workpieces, and at the same time, it can also realize an anti-collision function to avoid noise caused by collision during the transmission of the workpieces.

[0040] Example 1
[0041] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a workpiece unloading fixture, wherein a support frame 22 is provided on the front or back side of the workpiece; the workpiece unloading fixture is characterized in that it includes a unloading slide and a conveying assembly, wherein the feed end of the unloading slide is provided with a flip assembly 13, and the discharge end of the unloading slide is provided with a blocking assembly 14; the conveying assembly is used to place the workpiece at the feed end of the unloading slide via the flip assembly 13, at which point the workpiece can be flipped before entering the unloading slide for discharge. Alternatively, the conveying assembly directly places the workpiece at the feed end of the unloading slide, in which case the workpiece can directly enter the unloading slide for discharge without flipping.
[0042] This application is aimed at workpieces with the same orientation and transmission direction, especially workpieces with a smooth front side and a support frame 22 on the back side. For the transmission of two adjacent workpieces, the handling component places one of the workpieces in the unloading slide through the flipping component 13, and places the other workpiece directly in the unloading slide, that is, the two adjacent workpieces can be transmitted in different orientations, so that the smooth surfaces of the two adjacent workpieces are stacked together, saving workpiece placement and storage space and improving the workpiece stacking efficiency and accuracy.
[0043] At the same time, the present application sets a blocking component 14 at the end of the unloading slide rail to limit the stacked workpieces, and at the same time realize the anti-collision function to avoid noise caused by collision during the transmission of the workpieces.
[0044] The present application can also flip all the workpieces through the flipping assembly 13 and then enter the unloading slide rail for transmission, so that the flipping transmission of the workpiece can be realized, so that the support frame 22 in the workpiece is uniformly facing upward or downward, and the orderly output of the workpiece is realized after flipping.
[0045] The present application can also place all workpieces directly on the unloading slide for transmission, and use the blocking component 14 at the end of the unloading slide to limit the workpiece output position, so as to avoid performance damage or excessive noise caused by excessive impact force when the workpiece is output.
[0046] In this application, the unloading slide refers to a track that allows workpieces to slide from one end to the other. For ease of expression, this application defines the end where the workpiece is placed as the feed end of the unloading slide, and the end where the workpiece is discharged as the discharge end of the unloading slide, that is, the workpiece is transferred from the feed end of the unloading slide to the discharge end of the unloading slide. The reason for setting up the unloading slide to transfer the workpiece is to control whether the workpiece is flipped at the feed end of the unloading slide, and to directly remove the stacked workpieces at the discharge end of the unloading slide, which facilitates further stacking, palletizing and transportation of the workpieces.
[0047] In this application, the shape of the unloading rail can be used to achieve the transfer of the workpiece. For example, the unloading rail can be set to an inclined shape to use the gravity of the workpiece to achieve the transfer of the workpiece. Alternatively, a thrust component can be set on the side of the feeding end of the unloading rail to provide thrust to the workpiece placed on the unloading rail, ensuring that it can be transferred from the starting end to the end of the unloading rail.
[0048] In the present application, the flipping component 13 can be any component that can realize the flipping function, and not every workpiece needs to be flipped by the flipping component 13. Only one of two adjacent workpieces needs to be flipped to realize front-side stacking or back-side stacking between the two adjacent workpieces.
[0049] In this application, a blocking assembly 14 is provided at the end of the unloading slide rail to implement a collision prevention function for the stacked workpieces, thereby preventing noise caused by collisions during workpiece transportation. Specifically, the surface of the blocking assembly 14 that contacts the workpiece is made of a flexible material, and the blocking assembly 14 can be provided at the side wall of the discharge end of the unloading slide rail. That is, when the workpiece is transferred to the end of the moving workpiece, the workpiece directly impacts the flexible blocking assembly 14. On the one hand, this can limit the transfer end position of the workpiece, and on the other hand, it can prevent noise caused by the workpiece collision, thereby improving the environmental comfort of workpiece transportation and stacking.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a workpiece unloading tool, wherein a support frame 22 is provided on the front or back side of the workpiece; the workpiece unloading tool includes a unloading slide and a conveying assembly, the feed end of the unloading slide is provided with a flipping assembly 13, and the discharge end of the unloading slide is provided with a blocking assembly 14; the conveying assembly is used to place the workpiece on the feed end of the unloading slide through the flipping assembly 13, and the workpiece will be reversed when placed through the flipping assembly, or the conveying assembly places the workpiece directly on the feed end of the unloading slide.
[0052] Specifically, the feeding end of the unloading slide rail is provided with a pushing component, and the pushing component is used to push the workpiece placed at the front end of the unloading slide rail.
[0053] The pushing component can be a power component such as a cylinder or a motor. When the pushing component is extended, it can provide a thrust to the workpiece placed at the front end of the unloading slide, so that the pushing component moves along the unloading slide to the end position, and hits the blocking component 14 at the end position to realize the transmission of the workpiece. The present application sets a pushing component, which can adapt to unloading slides of all shapes and positions. Regardless of whether the unloading slide is a horizontal track or an inclined track, the thrust of the pushing component can realize the transmission and stacking of the workpiece, thereby improving the versatility of the position and installation of the unloading slide, and improving the scope of use and applicable scenarios of the device of the present application.
[0054] Specifically, the unloading slide rail includes a first slide rail 121 and a second slide rail 122 connected in sequence. The first slide rail 121 is an inclined slide rail, and the flip assembly 13 is located above the first slide rail 121; the second slide rail 122 is a horizontal slide rail.
[0055] The present application can realize automatic transmission of workpieces through the inclined first slide rail 121 and the horizontal second slide rail 122, and the workpiece needs to be placed in the inclined first slide rail 121 first, and then slide to the horizontal second slide rail 122 by the workpiece's own gravity. In the second slide rail 122, the workpiece uses its inertia to move to the discharge end of the second slide rail 122, which can reduce the impact force of the workpiece on the blocking component 14, increase the service life of the blocking component 14, and further reduce the impact intensity and impact noise.
[0056] Specifically, the flip assembly 13 is a rotating shaft disposed above the first slide rail 121 , and the axis of the rotating shaft is parallel to the plane where the first slide rail 121 is located and perpendicular to the extension direction of the first slide rail 121 .
[0057] In the present application, the front or back of the workpiece is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the support frame 22 is a raised structure arranged on the front or back of the workpiece. In the present application, the flip assembly 13 can be specifically a rotating shaft, which is arranged above the first slide rail 121 and perpendicular to the extension direction of the first slide rail 121. When the transport assembly clamps and transports the workpiece, assuming that the front of the workpiece is facing down, if it does not need to pass through the flip assembly 13, the transport assembly directly places the workpiece facing down in the first slide rail 121. If it needs to pass through the flip assembly 13, the transport assembly places the workpiece facing down on the rotating shaft, and the center of gravity of the workpiece placed on the rotating shaft is biased toward the feeding end of the first slide rail 121. Under the action of gravity, the workpiece falls from the rotating shaft to the feeding end of the first slide rail 121 to achieve the flipping of the workpiece. The rotating shaft structure of the present application is simple and easy to install. It can also achieve the front and back flipping of the workpiece without changing the clamping direction of the transport assembly, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of the workpiece flipping transmission.
[0058] Specifically, two blocking components 14 are provided, and the two blocking components 14 are respectively located on both sides of the end of the unloading slide rail. In the first direction, the minimum distance between the two blocking components 14 is less than or equal to the size of the workpiece. The first direction refers to the connection direction of the two blocking components 14.
[0059] Because the workpiece has a certain width, the present application provides two blocking assemblies 14, one on each side of the workpiece, to intercept the workpiece as it is transferred to the end of the unloading slide. The blocking assemblies 14 can be made of a flexible material to prevent damage to the workpiece caused by excessive impact when the workpiece is transferred to the end of the unloading slide. When positioning the blocking assemblies 14, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the blocking assemblies 14 is less than the width of the workpiece, ensuring that the blocking assemblies 14 can fully contact both sides of the workpiece.
[0060] Specifically, the blocking assembly 14 includes a blocking slide rail 141 and a blocking block. The blocking slide rail 141 is fixed to the discharge end of the unloading slide rail; the blocking block is slidably located inside the blocking slide rail 141 .
[0061] The present application sets a blocking assembly 14 capable of adjusting the position of the stopper 142 for workpieces of different widths to adapt to the interception of workpieces of different sizes. In actual operation, the blocking slide 141 is fixed at the discharge end of the unloading slide. At the same time, a slidable stopper 142 is set in the blocking slide 141. The position of the stopper 142 in the blocking slide 141 can be adjusted according to the height or width of the workpiece to ensure that the workpiece can hit the stopper 142; after the position of the stopper 142 is fixed, the position of the stopper 142 in the blocking slide 141 can be fixed by components such as limit screws to avoid the position of the stopper 142 from shifting during the transmission of the same workpiece. The adjustable position stopper 142 structure of the present application can be used for the transmission of workpieces of different sizes and models, thereby improving the scope of application of the unloading tooling of the present application.
[0062] Specifically, the sliding direction of the stopper 142 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the second slide rail 122 .
[0063] The present application defines that the sliding direction of the stopper 142 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second slide rail 122. For example, if the extension direction of the second slide rail 122 is the horizontal X-axis direction, the sliding direction of the stopper 142 can be the horizontal Y-axis direction or the vertical direction, i.e., the Z-axis direction. The sliding direction of the stopper 142 is the movement adjustment direction of the stopper 142. When the stopper 142 moves along the Y-axis direction, it can adapt to workpieces of different widths. When the stopper 142 moves in the Z-axis direction, it can adapt to workpieces of different heights. The present application can set the blocking slide rail 141 to extend in one direction, or set the blocking slide rail 141 to extend in two directions at the same time, so as to further expand the scope of application of the workpiece unloading tooling.
[0064] Specifically, a baffle 15 is provided in the unloading slide rail, and the distance between the baffle 15 and the blocking assembly 14 is equal to the size of the workpiece.
[0065] Since the workpiece in this application is stopped by hitting the blocking component 14 when it is transmitted to the end of the discharge slide, if the impact force is too large, the workpiece will rebound and cannot be accurately limited to the discharge end position of the discharge slide. The purpose of setting the baffle in this application is to prevent the workpiece from rebounding after the collision. In actual operation, the baffle 15 can be connected to the driving cylinder, and an inductive sensor can be set on the side of the baffle 15. When the inductive sensor senses the passage of the workpiece, the driving cylinder pushes the baffle 15 to extend to achieve the limitation of the workpiece. If the inductive sensor does not detect the passage of the workpiece, the driving cylinder drives the baffle 15 to retract to avoid interference with the normal transmission of the workpiece.
[0066] Specifically, the unloading slide includes a plurality of parallel roller groups. When the workpiece is placed in the unloading slide, the support frame 22 is located in the gap between the roller groups.
[0067] Since the blanking tooling in this application needs to adapt to the transmission mode of the workpiece facing down or facing up, the blanking slide in this application needs to avoid interference with the support frame 22 in the workpiece. Correspondingly, this application sets the blanking slide as a parallel roller group, each roller group includes a number of rollers set at a time, and each roller group is used to transmit different positions of the workpiece, thereby realizing the transmission of various positions in the width direction of the workpiece. When setting the roller group, it is necessary to set it according to the position of the support frame 22 in the workpiece to ensure that the support frame 22 is located in the gap of the roller group. Furthermore, this application can also set the roller group to a sliding form, and the sliding direction is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the roller group. In this way, when the position of the support frame 22 in the workpiece is different, the position of the roller group can be adjusted so that the gap between the roller groups is adapted to the position of the support frame 22 in the workpiece, so as to further improve the scope of application of the workpiece blanking tooling in this application.
[0068] Specifically, a placement groove is provided at the discharge end of the unloading slide rail, and the depth of the placement groove is equal to the height of the workpiece.
[0069] When the workpiece unloading fixture is used to achieve the stacking of the front and back sides of adjacent workpieces, a placement groove can be set at the discharge end of the unloading slide. The placement groove is a concave structure. When the first workpiece is transferred to the end of the unloading slide, it will fall into the placement groove, and the depth of the placement groove is equal to the height of the workpiece. At this time, the upper surface of the workpiece is flush with the upper surface of the placement groove, that is, with the surface of the unloading slide. At this time, the second workpiece is transferred to ensure that the second workpiece is stacked above the first workpiece. At the same time, the transport component places one of the workpieces in the unloading track through the flip component 13, and the other workpiece is directly placed in the unloading track, which can ensure that the first workpiece and the second workpiece are stacked with the front sides facing opposite directions, so as to achieve the stacking structure of the smooth surfaces of the workpieces stacked together, and the support frame 22 is relatively set.
[0070] Example 3
[0071] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a workpiece blanking tool, such as Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, a support frame 22 is provided on the front side of the workpiece 21; a workpiece 21 unloading tool is used to stack the front and back sides of the workpieces 21, that is, to stack the front sides of two adjacent workpieces 21 together. When the workpieces 21 are discharged from the production line, they are all discharged with the front side facing up. Since the support frame 22 is provided on the front side of the workpieces 21, if the workpieces 21 are stacked with the front side facing up, the storage space will be too large, which is not conducive to subsequent storage and handling.
[0072] In this embodiment, the workpiece 21 unloading tooling specifically includes a unloading slide rail and a transport component. The transport component can specifically be a robot, etc. With the help of the flip component 13, the present application can ensure that the robot does not need to change the direction of the workpiece when transporting it, but instead uses the flip component 13 to flip the front and back of the workpiece. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the unloading slide is arranged on the upper surface of the unloading frame 11, and guardrails 16 are arranged on both sides of the unloading slide. The guardrails 16 are used to prevent the workpiece from being flipped out of the unloading slide when it moves along the unloading slide. The unloading slide specifically includes a first slide 121 and a second slide 122 connected in sequence. The first slide 121 is an inclined slide, and the flip assembly 13 is located above the first slide 121; the second slide 122 is a horizontal slide. The workpiece needs to be placed in the inclined first slide 121 first, and then slide to the horizontal second slide 122 by its own gravity. In the second slide 122, the workpiece uses its inertia to move to the discharge end of the second slide 122; the workpiece can be transferred without setting up an extra thrust assembly.
[0073] The first slide rail 121 includes a plurality of parallel first roller assemblies 123. When the workpiece 21 is placed on the first slide rail 121, the support frame 22 is located in the gaps between the first roller assemblies 123. The second slide rail 122 includes a plurality of parallel second roller assemblies 124. When the workpiece 21 is placed on the second slide rail 122, the support frame 22 is located in the gaps between the second roller assemblies 124.
[0074] The feeding end of the unloading slide, that is, the end of the first slide 121 away from the second slide 122, is provided with a flip assembly 13, and the flip assembly 13 is used to flip the orientation of the workpiece so that the workpiece is flipped from the front side facing up to the back side facing up. In this embodiment, the flip assembly 13 is specifically a rotating shaft arranged above the first slide 121, and the axis of the rotating shaft is parallel to the plane where the first slide 121 is located, and perpendicular to the extension direction of the first slide 121. The rotating shaft is arranged above the first slide 121 and is arranged perpendicular to the extension direction of the first slide 121; when the transport assembly places the workpiece facing up on the rotating shaft, it is necessary to ensure that the center of gravity of the workpiece placed on the rotating shaft is biased toward the feeding end of the unloading slide, and under the action of gravity, the workpiece falls from the rotating shaft to the feeding end of the first slide 121 to realize the flipping of the workpiece.
[0075] The discharge end of the unloading slide, that is, the discharge end of the second slide 122 away from the first slide 121, is provided with a blocking component 14; the blocking component 14 is used to limit the workpiece transmitted to the end of the unloading slide, ensuring that the workpiece is located at the discharge end of the unloading slide when it is output. Specifically, two blocking components 14 are provided, and the two blocking components 14 are respectively located on both sides of the end of the unloading slide. In the first direction, the minimum distance between the two blocking components 14 is less than or equal to the size of the workpiece. The first direction refers to the connection direction of the two blocking components 14. The present application sets two blocking components 14 to intercept the workpiece transmitted to the end of the unloading slide from the left and right sides of the workpiece, respectively. In the present application, the blocking component 14 can be made of a flexible material to avoid damage to the workpiece due to excessive impact force when the workpiece is transmitted to the end of the unloading slide. When setting the position of the blocking component 14, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the blocking components 14 is less than the width of the workpiece, and to ensure that the blocking component 14 can fully contact both sides of the workpiece.
[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, the blocking assembly 14 includes a blocking rail 141 and a block. The blocking rail 141 is fixed to the discharge end of the unloading rail; the block slides inside the blocking rail 141. The sliding direction of the block 142 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second rail 122. For example, if the extension direction of the second rail 122 is the horizontal X-axis direction, the sliding direction of the block 142 can be the horizontal Y-axis direction or the vertical direction, i.e., the Z-axis direction. The sliding direction of the block 142 is the movement adjustment direction of the block 142. When the block 142 moves along the Y-axis direction, it can adapt to workpieces of different widths. When the block 142 moves in the Z-axis direction, it can adapt to workpieces of different heights.
[0077] A baffle 15 is provided in the unloading slide, and the distance between the baffle 15 and the blocking component 14 is equal to the size of the workpiece. Since the workpiece in this application is stopped by hitting the blocking component 14 when it is transmitted to the end of the unloading slide, if the impact force is too large, the workpiece will rebound and cannot be accurately limited to the discharge end position of the unloading slide. The purpose of setting the baffle in this application is to avoid the workpiece from rebounding after the collision. In actual operation, the baffle 15 can be connected to the driving cylinder, and an inductive sensor can be provided on the side of the baffle 15. When the inductive sensor senses the passage of the workpiece, the driving cylinder pushes the baffle 15 out to achieve the limitation of the workpiece. If the inductive sensor does not detect the passage of the workpiece, the driving cylinder drives the baffle 15 to retract to avoid interference with the normal transmission of the workpiece.
[0078] The discharge end of the second slide rail 122 is provided with a placement groove (not shown in the figure), the depth of which is equal to the height of the workpiece. The transport assembly is used to place the first workpiece on the feed end of the first slide rail 121 via the flip assembly 13. The first workpiece that passes through the flip assembly 13, the first slide rail 121 and the second slide rail 122 enters the placement groove, and faces upward in the placement groove, that is, the side without the support frame 22 faces upward. The transport assembly places the second workpiece directly on the feed end of the first slide rail 121; the second workpiece that passes through the first slide rail 121 and the second slide rail 122 is stacked on top of the first workpiece, and the front of the second workpiece and the first workpiece are stacked against each other. At this time, the two workpieces stacked together on the front are clamped out by the clamping assembly for stacking.
[0079] Example 4
[0080] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 3 is that the unloading slide in this embodiment is a horizontal slide, and a pushing assembly is provided at the feeding end of the unloading slide to push the workpiece placed at the front end of the unloading slide. The other structures are the same as those in embodiment 3 and will not be described in detail here.
[0081] The pushing component can be a power component such as a cylinder or a motor. When the pushing component is extended, it can provide a thrust to the workpiece placed at the front end of the unloading slide, so that the pushing component moves along the unloading slide to the end position, and hits the blocking component 14 at the end position to realize the transmission of the workpiece. The present application sets a pushing component, which can adapt to unloading slides of all shapes and positions. Regardless of whether the unloading slide is a horizontal track or an inclined track, the thrust of the pushing component can realize the transmission and stacking of the workpiece, thereby improving the versatility of the position and installation of the unloading slide, and improving the scope of use and applicable scenarios of the device of the present application.
