Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of material transmission, in particular to a workpiece feeding flow channel mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The material tray is a container for holding processed parts. During the assembly processing and inspection process, the material tray is used to carry the processed and unprocessed, qualified and unqualified workpieces. It is very important. Because the workpieces are at multiple stations during the inspection process, the material tray needs to be transported, loaded and unloaded.

[0003] During the assembly, processing, and inspection process, a robot typically removes the flexo from a tray or places the inspected flexo back into the tray. This places high demands on the tray's position. Existing methods for positioning the tray suffer from inaccurate positioning, which in turn affects the robot's efficiency in picking up and unloading materials, hindering production efficiency. Furthermore, existing trays experience a certain amount of wobbling during movement, which can affect the position of the flexo within the tray and even cause the flexo in the tray's trough to shake out of the trough, similarly impacting the robot's efficiency in picking up materials.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present utility model, the power component includes a power frame 51, a guide rail 52 is provided on the power frame 51, brackets 53 are provided at both ends of the guide rail 52, and the brackets 53 are provided.

[0054] Usage process

[0055] The material tray loaded with materials is moved between the two positioning components 2 through the loading opening 12 by the lifting equipment, and the clamping channel 28 is formed by passing the edge of the material tray through the clamping groove and the clamping groove 24. The clamping groove abuts the inner wall of the material tray, and the positioning cylinders on the two positioning components 2 synchronously drive the clamping plates 23 to clamp and position the two outer sides of the material tray, so that the clamping groove 24 of the clamping plate 23 supports and clamps the material tray. At the same time, the ejecting rod 81 on the positioning plate 21 also abuts against the material tray, further positioning the material tray. After the clamping groove 24 and the ejecting rod 81 have positioned the material tray, the slide cylinder 71 drives the positioning rod 72 to abut against the other side of the material tray, realizing multi-point positioning of the material tray, ensuring that there will be no problems during the material tray loading process. The material in the tray is shaken. After the material in the tray is loaded, the positioning cylinders on the two positioning components 2 synchronously drive the clamping plates 23 to separate a small gap from the two outer sides of the tray, so that the tray is supported on the clamping groove 24 and does not fall. The power motor 57 drives the turntable 54 to rotate to drive the synchronous belt 55 to move, thereby driving the guide block 56 to move on the guide rail 52, thereby driving the material removal rod 591 on the pushing rack to move from one side of one bracket 53 to the position of the other bracket 53. The material removal base surfaces on the two material removal rods 591 synchronously abut against the side of the tray, and push the empty tray clamped by the two positioning components 2 to unload the material, thereby completing the loading of the material and the unloading of the empty tray, so as to transport the material in the tray and facilitate the subsequent flow of the pushing tray to the preset position.
