Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to production equipment, specifically to a product feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors, such as Figure 4 , Figure 9 As shown, the fixture includes a connecting line 91 and connecting heads 92 at both ends of the connecting line. The connecting heads are engaged in two adjacent engaging structures 21, which are vertically distributed along the vertical fixture 20. These engaging structures are located on both the left and right sides of the vertical fixture. One connecting head of a connector is engaged in the left engaging structure, and the other is engaged in the right engaging structure. The connecting line is curved and droops downwards. The connecting lines of two adjacent connectors are in contact. When the robot gripper picks up a connector, it can easily remove adjacent connectors from the vertical fixture simultaneously. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem solved by this utility model is that when the robot gripper acquires vertically distributed connectors on a vertical fixture, it is easy to move adjacent connectors out of the vertical fixture at the same time.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a material handling and anti-slip mechanism, which is set on the side of the transfer mechanism, includes a vertical robotic arm and a lifting seat set on the vertical robotic arm. A translation seat is movably fitted on the lifting seat. The translation seat can translate relative to the lifting seat. The translation seat is provided with a transverse extension arm. A product stop is provided on the transverse extension arm. The product stop can be moved to the left and right sides of the vertical tooling on the transfer mechanism. Furthermore, the product stop can abut against the transverse protrusion on the product.

[0005] The vertical fixture is fully loaded with connectors and positioned on the transfer mechanism. Driven by the cylinders of the transfer mechanism, the moving mechanism moves from the loading station to the unloading station. Driven by the robotic arm, the product stop rises / falls to the height of the connector below the connector to be gripped by the robot gripper. Then, the translation seat moves relative to the lifting seat in the opposite direction to the robot gripper's picking direction, and the product stop abuts against the lateral protrusion of the connector. Afterward, the robot gripper picks up the connector from the vertical fixture. Because the connector below the gripped connector is limited by the product stop, the gripped connector will not pull the connector below it out of the vertical fixture.

[0006] Before the robot gripper removes a connector (i.e., the connector limited by the product stop), the product stop first moves backward to move away from the connector, then descends to the connector below the first one, and then moves forward to stop the connector. Afterward, the robot gripper removes the next connector (i.e., the connector above the one limited by the product stop).

[0007] The transfer mechanism has a row of vertical fixtures positioned on it, and a row of product stops is provided on the horizontal extension arm. The row of product stops and the row of vertical fixtures are staggered, so that the product stops can extend between two adjacent vertical fixtures. In addition, there are product stops on both the left and right sides of each vertical fixture.

[0008] The lifting platform is equipped with a horizontal guide rail, which cooperates with a slider, and the slider is fixedly connected to the translation platform. The lifting platform is equipped with a horizontal thrust cylinder, and the piston of the horizontal thrust cylinder is connected to the translation platform. Driven by the horizontal thrust cylinder, the translation platform moves relative to the lifting platform.

[0009] A vertical robotic arm is mounted on the columns of a gantry frame. The transfer mechanism is located inside the gantry frame, and a pressing mechanism is installed on the crossbeam of the gantry frame, which presses down on the top of the vertical fixture. After loading, the transfer mechanism moves horizontally below the gantry frame, and the pressing mechanism presses firmly onto the top of the vertical fixture, ensuring stable positioning. Then, the anti-slip mechanism activates, and after the product stop blocks limit the product below, the robot gripper picks up the product from the vertical fixture.

[0010] The material handling and anti-slip mechanism of this utility model limits the lower product before the robot gripper picks up the product on the vertical fixture, preventing the lower product from moving out of the vertical fixture along with the upper product, thus ensuring smooth production.

[0029] Combination Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 A material handling mechanism to prevent material from slipping is provided on the side of a transfer mechanism 30. It includes a vertical robotic arm 11 and a lifting seat 12 mounted on the vertical robotic arm. A translation seat 13 is movably fitted on the lifting seat. The translation seat can translate relative to the lifting seat. The translation seat is provided with a lateral extension arm 14. A product stop 15 is provided on the lateral extension arm. The product stop can be moved to the left and right sides of the vertical tooling 20 on the transfer mechanism. Furthermore, the product stop can abut against the lateral protrusion 93 on the product.

[0030] like Figure 2 A row of vertical fixtures 20 is positioned on the transfer mechanism 30, and a row of product blocks 15 is provided on the horizontal extension arm 14. The row of product blocks and the row of vertical fixtures are staggered.

[0031] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 The lifting seat 12 is equipped with a horizontal guide rail 16, which cooperates with the slider, and the slider is fixedly connected to the translation seat 13. The lifting seat 12 is equipped with a horizontal thrust cylinder 17, and the piston of the horizontal thrust cylinder is connected to the translation seat 13.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 The vertical robotic arm 11 is mounted on the column of the gantry 50. The transfer mechanism 30 is located inside the gantry. The crossbeam of the gantry is equipped with a pressing mechanism 40, which can press down on the top of the vertical tooling 20.

[0033] The vertical fixture 20 is fully loaded with connector 90 and positioned on the transfer mechanism 30. Driven by the cylinder 31 of the transfer mechanism, the moving mechanism moves from the loading station to the unloading station, located below the gantry 50. The pressing mechanism 40 presses against the top of the vertical fixture 20, and the vertical fixture is stably positioned. Then, the material handling and anti-slip mechanism 10 is activated. Driven by the vertical robotic arm 11, the product stop 15 is raised to the height of the lower connector to be picked up by the robot gripper 60. Then, the translation seat 13 translates relative to the lifting seat 12 in the opposite direction to the picking direction of the robot gripper 60, and the product stop 15 abuts against the lateral protrusion 93 of the connector. Then, the robot gripper 60 picks up the connector 90 from the vertical fixture 20. The gripping position is a pair of connector heads 92. Since the connector below the gripped connector is limited by the product stop, the gripped connector will not pull the connector below it out of the vertical fixture 20.

[0034] Before the robot gripper removes a connector (i.e., the connector limited by the product stop), the product stop 15 first moves backward and away from the connector, then descends to the connector below the first connector, and then moves forward and abuts against the lateral protrusion of the connector. After that, the robot gripper 60 picks up the next connector (i.e., the connector above the connector limited by the product stop).

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
