Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transplanting equipment, in particular to a double-station dual-purpose material tray transplanting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] During the production of various electronic components, components need to be placed on trays for transport to facilitate assembly lines. Due to rising labor costs and inconsistent quality, conventional manual handling is gradually being replaced by automated equipment to achieve automated production. Due to the varying shapes of component products, the trays used are of varying shapes. Existing automated transport mechanisms, with their single gripping mechanism and lack of flexibility, cannot accommodate the production of a wide variety of products. Furthermore, their single transport station operation is inefficient, making them unable to achieve efficient and high-quality transport performance when products are frequently changed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a double-station dual-purpose material tray transplanting mechanism, which improves the handling efficiency and the adaptability of the transplanting mechanism by designing a double-station dual-purpose material tray transplanting method.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a dual-station dual-purpose tray transplanting mechanism, including a mounting column and a support arm fixedly connected to the mounting column, a first transplanting Y-axis module and a second transplanting Y-axis module are respectively provided on both sides of the support arm in the horizontal direction, and a first gripping mechanism and a second gripping mechanism are respectively provided on the first transplanting Y-axis module and the second transplanting Y-axis module. Specifically, the two transplanting Y-axis modules are linear servo modules, and a transplanting Y-axis module is respectively provided on both sides of the support arm. The two transplanting Y-axis modules each drive a gripping mechanism to perform the material tray gripping and transporting work, forming two transplanting stations and the two stations can work independently at the same time, greatly improving the transport efficiency.

[0005] As a further solution of the present invention, the first gripping mechanism and the second gripping mechanism both include a transplanting Z-axis module, a lifting seat, an R-axis driving mechanism, a transplanting R-axis, and a clamping claw bracket. The transplanting Z-axis module is used to drive the lifting seat to move up and down, and the R-axis driving mechanism is used to drive the transplanting R-axis to rotate. The lower end of the transplanting R-axis is fixedly connected to the clamping claw bracket. The clamping claws are relatively mounted on the clamping claw bracket, and the nozzle assemblies are relatively arranged on both sides of the clamping claws. Specifically, the transplanting Z-axis module can adopt a linear servo module to drive the lifting seat to move up and down. The R-axis driving mechanism can adopt a servo motor and be fixedly mounted on the lifting seat through the motor seat. The output end of the R-axis driving mechanism is connected to the transplanting R-axis, and the lower end of the transplanting R-axis is fixedly connected to the clamping claw bracket. The transplanting Z-axis module and the lifting seat drive the clamping claw and the nozzle assembly to move up and down, and by designing the R-axis driving mechanism and the transplanting R-axis, it can be rotated to any angle in the horizontal position according to the needs of the swing plate. During operation, the material tray can be sucked up by a nozzle assembly or clamped by a clamp according to the needs of different product trays, which improves the flexibility of the transplanting mechanism and can meet the production adaptation of various products.

[0006] As a further solution of the present invention, a tray pressing member is provided on the side of the clamping claw. The tray pressing member can be a cylinder. A pressure rod is connected to the output end of the tray pressing member.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention, the suction nozzle bracket is a rectangular frame structure, and a number of suction nozzle mounting holes are spaced apart on the lower frame of the suction nozzle bracket. The suction nozzle mounting holes can be used to flexibly adjust the installation position of the suction nozzle according to the requirements of different product trays, thereby improving the adaptability of the suction nozzle assembly and further improving the adaptability of the transplanting mechanism.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention, the clamping jaw bracket is vertically mounted with upper and lower rails for the nozzle holder, an adjustment bracket is slidably mounted on the upper and lower rails for the nozzle holder, and the nozzle holder is mounted on the adjustment bracket. Specifically, the adjustment bracket can slide up and down along the upper and lower rails for the nozzle holder, so that the nozzle holder and the nozzle can move up and down with the adjustment bracket, and a limit stop is installed at the upper end of the upper and lower rails for the nozzle holder.

[0010] As a further feature of the present invention, the adjustment bracket is provided with a waist-shaped hole into which a bolt for locking the nozzle bracket is inserted. This waist-shaped hole facilitates adjustment of the nozzle bracket, thereby adjusting the nozzle position to accommodate different trays, thus improving the adaptability of the nozzle assembly.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention, an incoming material detection sensor is provided on the suction nozzle bracket. When the material tray is being transported, the incoming material detection sensor is used to detect whether there is a material tray below to prevent empty grabbing.

The double-station dual-purpose tray transplanting mechanism provided by the present invention provides a transplanting Y-axis module on both sides of the support arm, and the two transplanting Y-axis modules each drive a grasping mechanism to grasp and transport the tray, forming two transplanting stations and the two stations can work independently at the same time, which greatly improves the transportation efficiency.

[0013] 2. The double-station dual-purpose tray transplanting mechanism provided by the utility model can use a suction nozzle assembly to suck the tray or a clamping claw to clamp the tray for transportation according to the needs of different product trays. This improves the flexibility of the transplanting mechanism and can meet the production adaptation of various products. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0021] The following will be combined with specific embodiments to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the structure of the present invention is as follows: a dual-station dual-purpose tray transport mechanism, comprising a mounting column 1 and a support arm 2 fixedly connected to the mounting column 1, with a first transporting Y-axis module 3 and a second transporting Y-axis module 4 respectively provided horizontally on both sides of the support arm 2, and a first gripping mechanism 5 and a second gripping mechanism 6 respectively provided on the first transporting Y-axis module 3 and the second transporting Y-axis module 4. Specifically, the two transporting Y-axis modules are linear servo modules, one of which is provided on each side of the support arm 2, and each of which drives a gripping mechanism to perform the gripping and transporting of the tray, forming two transporting stations that can operate independently and simultaneously, greatly improving the transport efficiency.

[0023] Further Figure 2As shown, the first gripping mechanism 5 and the second gripping mechanism 6 each include a transplanting Z-axis module 501, a lifting seat 502, an R-axis drive mechanism 503, a transplanting R-axis 504, and a clamping bracket 505. The transplanting Z-axis module 501 is used to drive the lifting seat 502 to move up and down, and the R-axis drive mechanism 503 is used to drive the transplanting R-axis 504 to rotate. The lower end of the transplanting R-axis 504 is fixedly connected to the clamping bracket 505. The clamping bracket 505 is relatively mounted with clamping jaws 506, and suction nozzle assemblies are relatively arranged on both sides of the clamping jaws 506. Specifically, the transplanting Z-axis module 501 can adopt a linear servo module to drive the lifting seat 502 to move up and down. The R-axis drive mechanism 503 can adopt a servo motor and is fixedly mounted on the lifting seat 502 via a motor base. The output end of the R-axis drive mechanism 503 is connected to the transplanting R-axis 504 through a transmission. The lower end of the transplanting R-axis 504 is fixedly connected to the clamping bracket 505. The Z-axis module 501 and lift base 502 drive the vertical movement of the gripper and nozzle assembly. The R-axis drive mechanism 503 and the R-axis 504 allow for horizontal rotation to any desired angle to accommodate tray placement. During operation, the system can be adapted to accommodate different product trays, using either the nozzle assembly to absorb the tray or the gripper to hold it. This enhances the flexibility of the transport mechanism and accommodates diverse product production needs.

[0024] Further Figure 2 As shown, a tray pressing member 511 is provided beside the clamping claw 506. The tray pressing member 511 can be a cylinder. A pressure rod is connected to the output end of the tray pressing member 511. When the tray is grabbed, the tray pressing member 511 drives the pressure rod to press the tray down to prevent the tray from moving when grabbed.

[0025] Further Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the suction nozzle assembly includes a suction nozzle bracket 509 and suction nozzles 510 installed at intervals on the suction nozzle bracket 509. When necessary, the suction nozzles 510 can be used to vacuum-suck the material tray to improve the adaptability of the transplanting mechanism.

[0026] Furthermore, the suction nozzle bracket 509 has a rectangular frame structure, and a number of suction nozzle mounting holes 514 are spaced apart on the lower frame of the suction nozzle bracket 509. The suction nozzle mounting holes 514 can be used to flexibly adjust the installation position of the suction nozzle 510 according to the requirements of different product trays, thereby improving the adaptability of the suction nozzle assembly and further improving the adaptability of the transplanting mechanism.

[0027] Furthermore, a nozzle holder upper and lower rails 508 are vertically mounted on the gripper bracket 505, an adjustment bracket 507 is slidably mounted on the nozzle holder upper and lower rails 508, and the nozzle holder 509 is mounted on the adjustment bracket 507. Specifically, the adjustment bracket 507 can slide up and down along the nozzle holder upper and lower rails 508, so that the nozzle holder 509 and the nozzle 510 can move up and down with the adjustment bracket 507, and a limit stop is installed at the upper end of the nozzle holder upper and lower rails 508.

[0028] Further Figure 3 As shown, a waist-shaped hole 512 is provided on the adjustment bracket 507, and a bolt 513 for locking the nozzle bracket 509 is inserted into the waist-shaped hole 512. By designing the waist-shaped hole 512, the position of the nozzle bracket 509 is easily adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the nozzle 510 to adapt to different material trays, thereby improving the adaptability of the nozzle assembly.

[0029] Furthermore, the nozzle bracket 509 is provided with an incoming material detection sensor. When the tray is being transported, the incoming material detection sensor is used to detect whether there is a tray below to prevent empty grabbing.

[0030] The dual-station, dual-purpose tray transfer mechanism provided by the present invention utilizes two transfer Y-axis modules, each driving a gripping mechanism to perform tray transfer and handling operations. When a tray is transferred, an incoming material detection sensor detects the tray, and then the tray is vacuum-sucked by a suction nozzle 510, or the clamping jaws 506 are opened and pressed, with the clamping jaws 506 clamping the tray. The tray can be rotated horizontally to any angle as needed to swing the tray, and then transported to a designated location via the transfer Y-axis module. The present invention utilizes two transfer Y-axis modules, each driving a gripping mechanism to perform tray transfer and handling operations, forming two transfer stations that can operate independently and simultaneously, greatly improving handling efficiency.

[0031] The above further describes the present invention with the help of specific embodiments, but it should be understood that the specific description here should not be construed as limiting the essence and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made to the above embodiments by ordinary technicians in this field after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
