Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automation equipment, in particular to an automatic feeding and spacing device. Background Art
[0002] Most products are composed of several parts. In order to improve the assembly efficiency of the products, automated assembly equipment will be used to assemble the parts one by one in an orderly manner to finally form a complete product. After some products are assembled, they will be transferred to the packaging device through the feeding device for the final packaging process. For example, disposable infusion sets need to be packaged after the disposable infusion set assembly equipment assembles the parts of the infusion set one by one.
[0003] In order to ensure packaging efficiency, the packaging device has multiple tooling for clamping disposable infusion sets, and the positions of the tooling are fixed, so that the spacing between adjacent tooling is also fixed. Although the feeding device on the automated assembly equipment can also clamp multiple disposable infusion sets at the same time, the spacing between adjacent disposable infusion sets is different from the spacing between two adjacent toolings on the packaging device. Therefore, a dedicated spacing device needs to be set between the feeding device and the packaging device. When the feeding device places the disposable infusion set on the spacing device, the spacing device will spacing the multiple disposable infusion sets so that the spacing between adjacent disposable infusion sets meets the actual requirements. Then, the clamping device is used to transfer the spacing disposable infusion sets to the tooling on the packaging device. The spacing process of this spacing method has multiple steps, resulting in a long spacing time, which affects the overall feeding efficiency. In addition, adding a spacing device will increase production costs and cause the space occupied by the equipment to become larger, which is not conducive to placement. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The number of the lifting mechanisms is 2.
[0028] The method of using the utility model is as follows:
[0029] In order to facilitate the clamping arm 304 on the pneumatic finger 303 to quickly clamp the product, the seat plate 1 can be installed on a shifting mechanism that can move left and right and forward and backward. The shifting mechanism can be two superimposed linear modules. The two direct modules are stacked and perpendicular to each other, and the seat plate can be installed on the sliding block of the upper linear module, and the upper linear module is installed on the sliding block of the lower linear module. When the lower linear module drives the seat plate 1 to move left and right, the pneumatic finger 303 moves left and right synchronously. When the upper linear module drives the seat plate 1 to move forward and backward, the pneumatic finger 303 moves forward and backward synchronously.
[0030] When the pneumatic finger 303 needs to be lowered to clamp the product, the reducer 206 can be started. At this time, the output shaft of the reducer 206 will drive the lifting gear 207 to rotate, and the lifting gear 207 is meshed with the rack 208, and the lifting slide rails 209 on the left and right outer walls of the lifting column 203 match the lifting sliders 210 on the left and right inner walls of the lifting opening 202. Therefore, when the lifting gear 207 rotates, the lifting column 203 will move down steadily under the guidance of the lifting slide rails 209. When the lifting column 203 moves down, the lifting column 203 will drive the spacing shell 305 to move down through the connecting plate 204, and finally realize the downward movement of the pneumatic finger 303. When the pneumatic finger 303 moves down to the actual required position, the pneumatic finger 303 is started, and the clamping arms 304 on the left and right claws of the pneumatic finger 303 approach each other to clamp the product, completing the clamping of the product.
[0031] After the clamping arm 304 on the pneumatic finger 303 clamps the product, the reducer 206 is started again, so that the pneumatic finger 303 moves up with the product to the actual required height, and then the shifting mechanism is used to move the product toward the packaging device. During the transfer process, the spacing mechanism can separate the products so that the spacing between adjacent products is consistent with the spacing between adjacent tooling on the packaging device. When spacing is required, the motor 308 can be started. At this time, the motor shaft of the motor 308 will drive the active synchronous wheel 309 to rotate, and the active synchronous wheel 309 is connected to the driven synchronous wheel 314 through the synchronous belt 315. Therefore, when the active synchronous wheel 309 rotates, the driven synchronous wheel 314 rotates synchronously, and the driven synchronous wheel 314 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 311 at one end of the spacing rod 310, finally realizing the rotation of the spacing rod 310. When the cam 318 is in the process of being rotated, the cam 318 of the second movement of the second movement of the pneumatic finger 303 is moved along the cam 318, and the cam 318 of the second movement of the pneumatic finger 303 is moved along the cam 318, thereby completing the cam 318 movement.
[0032] In summary, the present invention can clamp the assembled products through the clamping arm 304 of the pneumatic finger 303, and then directly transfer the products to the packaging device. During the transfer process, the spacing mechanism can move the slide 301 left and right through the spacing rod 310, thereby realizing the left and right movement of the pneumatic finger 303, effectively changing the distance between adjacent products and completing the spacing. Therefore, when the clamping arm 304 of the pneumatic finger 303 transfers the product to the packaging device, the spacing is completed, and there is no need to set up a special device for spacing between the feeding device and the packaging device. It effectively avoids the situation where the feeding device needs to transfer the product to the spacing device for spacing before it can transfer the separated product to the packaging device, effectively saving a lot of time and effectively ensuring the overall feeding efficiency. When the spacing device is removed, it can not only effectively reduce the production cost, but also reduce the space occupied by the entire equipment, which is conducive to the placement of the equipment.
[0033] Symmetrical separating rails 319 are provided on the front and rear sides of the lower surface of the separating housing 305, and separating sliders 320 are provided on the front and rear sides of the upper surface of the slide 301. A slide groove 321 matching the separating rail 319 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the separating slider 320, and symmetrical guide grooves 322 are provided on the front and rear sides of the separating rail 319. Guide heads 323 matching the guide groove 322 are provided on the inner walls on the front and rear sides of the upper notch of the slide groove 321. When the guide head 323 is stuck in the guide groove 322, the separating slider 320 can be fixed on the separating housing 305, thereby fixing the slide 301 on the separating housing 305. At the same time, stable translation of the slide 301 can be achieved along the trajectory of the guide groove 322.
[0034] A bearing 324 is provided in the shaft hole 312 and is arranged outside the rotating shaft 311 . The presence of the bearing 324 can effectively ensure the smoothness of the rotation of the spacing rod 310 , thereby ensuring stability during spacing.
[0035] When the number of lifting mechanisms is two, the number of spacing shells 305 is also two. At this time, adjacent spacing shells 305 can be symmetrically arranged, so that the motor mounting plates 307 are not arranged at the opposite ends of the adjacent spacing shells 305, but the motor mounting plates 307 are arranged at the other ends. In this case, the distance between adjacent spacing shells 305 can be minimized to the greatest extent, and the distance between the rightmost slide 301 on the left spacing shell 305 and the leftmost slide 301 on the right spacing shell 305 can be effectively adjusted, effectively avoiding the situation where the initial distance between the two is too large and difficult to adjust.
