[0025] See Figure 1This embodiment provides an automated feeding and tray-stacking fixture, including a work platform 10. The work platform 10 has two workstations. Each workstation includes a vibratory feeder 11, a gripping device 12, a positioning device 13, a pushing device 14, and a tray-stacking device. The gripping device 12 is used to grip the parts from the discharge end of the vibratory feeder 11 onto the positioning device 13. The tray-stacking device includes a tray 15, a fixing component 16, and a moving component 17. The tray 15 is connected to the fixing component 16. The moving component 17 is used to drive the fixing component to move. The pushing device 14 is used to push the parts on the positioning device onto the tray.

[0026] Specifically, the vibratory feeder 11 uses a flexible vibratory feeder, and the gripping device 12 uses a multi-axis robotic arm 121. The multi-axis robotic arm 121 is equipped with a suction head 122, which is used to adsorb and grip the parts at the discharge end of the vibratory feeder 11. In this embodiment, an electromagnet is used for adsorption to facilitate the picking and placing of parts.

[0027] In order for the suction head 122 to accurately position the part, a detection camera 18 is also provided on the work platform 10. The detection camera 18 is located above the discharge end of the vibratory feeder and can adjust its own position and shooting angle. The detection camera 18 identifies the position of the part and transmits the position signal to the multi-axis robotic arm to achieve precise grasping.

[0028] See Figure 2 The positioning device 13 includes a fixed block 131, a movable block 132, and a first linear slide module 133. A positioning groove 134 for placing parts is formed between the fixed block 131 and the movable block 132. A support plate extends from the bottom of the fixed block 131 toward the movable block 132 to serve as the bottom support of the positioning groove 134, so as to support the parts. The movable block 132 is connected to the slider of the first linear slide module 133 to drive the movable block to move, thereby adjusting the width of the positioning groove and making it compatible with products of different specifications.

[0029] The pushing device 14 includes a pushing cylinder 141. A pushing plate 142 is provided at the output end of the pushing cylinder 141. The pushing plate 142 is aligned with the positioning groove 134 so that the pushing plate can extend into the positioning groove to push out the part.

[0030] See Figures 3-4 Specifically, the fixing component 16 includes a fixing plate 161, on which a support block 162, a limiting plate 163, and a quick clamp 164 are provided. The limiting plate 163 and the quick clamp 164 are arranged opposite to each other at both ends of the fixing plate. In addition, a positioning pin 165 is provided on the limiting plate 163 for quickly positioning the pallet position.

[0031] Two sets of trays can be placed on each fixed plate 161. The two ends of the tray 15 are respectively provided with a locking plate 151 and a pressing plate 152. The pressing plate 152 is provided with positioning holes 153 corresponding to the position and number of positioning pins 165. When the tray 15 is placed through the positioning pins, the quick clamp 164 is locked to press the locking plate 151, and then the pressing plate 152 is pressed towards the limiting plate 163 to fix the tray.

[0032] Each tray 15 has three sets of receiving slots 154 for placing parts. The receiving slots 154 can be moved to the exit position of the positioning slot 134 by the moving component. The moving component 17 also adopts a linear slide module, and the fixing plate 161 is set on the slider of the linear slide module.

[0033] Working principle: The vibratory feeder 11 discharges the material, and the detection camera 18 identifies the position of the part. Then, the multi-axis robotic arm drives the suction head to pick up the part and place it on the positioning slot 134. Then, the pusher cylinder 141 is activated, which drives the pusher plate 142 to push the part into the receiving slot on the tray 15. When one of the receiving slots is full, the fixing plate moves to align the other receiving slot with the positioning slot until the entire tray is full of parts. Finally, the quick clamp is released, the tray is removed and replaced with an empty tray.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
