Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the machining industry, specifically a feeding mechanism for remote control detection. This equipment is suitable for automated production, where the products are small, numerous, and manual placement is time-consuming and dangerous. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, remote control products are manufactured in large quantities. Since remote controls are individual controllers, each one needs to have its performance tested, which is tedious and reduces work efficiency. Therefore, an automatic feeding device is designed. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to at least solve some of the problems existing in the prior art, this application provides a dual-station feeding mechanism, which realizes the function of automatic feeding by manually placing materials in the hopper, and then having a robotic arm pick up materials in sequence, testing them, and feeding them in sequence by a motor.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a feeding mechanism for remote control detection, including at least two hoppers, the two hoppers are arranged side by side, a storage box is provided on one side of the hopper, a clamping cylinder is provided below the storage box, and fixing blocks are provided on both sides of the storage box, the fixing blocks are connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder.
[0005] The bottom of the storage box is mounted on a rotary cylinder;
[0006] The hopper is mounted on the second guide rail; the bottom of the hopper is connected to the output end of the cylinder; the cylinder controls the hopper to move longitudinally along the second guide rail.
[0007] A motor is located below the hopper, and a ball screw is located on one side of the motor. The lower end of the ball screw is connected to the motor via a synchronous belt pulley.
[0008] The upper end of the ball screw is connected to the push rod mechanism, and the ball screw drives the vertical movement of the push rod mechanism.
[0009] A sensor is installed on one side of the upper end of the hopper.
[0010] Furthermore, the motor is provided with first guide rails on both sides in the lateral direction. The first guide rails are vertically arranged, and the push rod mechanism is mounted on the first guide rails on both sides.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the hopper has an opening through which a push rod mechanism passes and lifts the remote control.
[0012] Furthermore, each of the hoppers includes multiple side-by-side placement slots for placing the remote controller to be tested. The bottom of the placement slots is open, and the opening size is smaller than the size of the remote controller.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] The equipment uses cylinders and motors for feeding, and a robotic arm for gripping and testing. The feeding is achieved through a mechanical structure. However, due to the small size and numerous buttons of the remote control, manual operation is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and sometimes prone to omissions, resulting in defective products and reduced product quality. The feeding mechanism proposed in this application effectively solves the current problems, avoids errors caused by human operation, improves production quality, and saves manpower and resources.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a feeding mechanism for remote control testing, including at least two hoppers 8, which are arranged side by side. A storage box 15 is provided on one side of the hopper 8, and a clamping cylinder 11 is provided below the storage box 15. Fixing blocks 12 are provided on both sides of the storage box 15. The fixing blocks 12 are connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder 11. After the remote control to be tested is placed in the storage box 15, the clamping cylinder 11 drives the fixing blocks 12 to clamp the remote control.
[0021] The bottom of the storage box 15 is mounted on the rotary cylinder 10. The rotary cylinder 10 rotates to an inclined angle, causing the remote control inside the packaging bag to slide out of the button part.
[0022] The hopper 8 is installed on the second guide rail 7, and the bottom of the hopper 8 is connected to the output end of the cylinder 5. The cylinder 5 controls the hopper 8 to move longitudinally on the second guide rail 7. A sensor 14 is provided on one side of the upper end of the hopper 8 to detect whether the remote control is grabbed by the robotic arm.
[0023] A motor 1 is located below the hopper 8, and a ball screw 2 is located on one side of the motor 1. The ball screw 2 is vertically arranged, and the lower end of the ball screw 2 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 1 through a synchronous pulley 3. The upper end of the ball screw 2 is connected to the push rod mechanism 6, which drives the push rod mechanism 6 to move vertically. When the hopper 8 is full of remote controllers, it moves along the second guide rail 7 to the top of the motor 1. After the robot arm removes the remote controllers from the top layer of the hopper 8, the motor 1 runs, and the push rod mechanism 6 lifts up the remote controllers below to the top layer position. When all the remote controllers are removed, the push rod mechanism 6 descends, and the hopper 8 moves away from the storage box 15 for manual loading.
[0024] In another embodiment of this application, the motor 1 is provided with first guide rails 4 on both sides in the lateral direction. The first guide rails 4 are arranged vertically, and the push rod mechanism 6 is mounted on the first guide rails 4 on both sides.
[0025] In another embodiment of this application, the bottom of the hopper 8 is open. When the hopper 8 is full of remote controllers, it moves along the second guide rail 7 above the motor 1, and the push rod mechanism 6 passes through the opening and lifts the remote controllers.
[0026] In another embodiment of this application, each hopper 8 is provided with 5 placement slots 13 (small hoppers) arranged side by side for placing the remote control to be tested. The bottom of the placement slot 13 is open, and the opening size is smaller than the size of the remote control to ensure that the remote control will not fall from the bottom of the placement slot 13.
[0027] Work process:
[0028] Depend on Figures 1-3As shown, the extension of cylinder 5, guided by the second guide rail 7, allows manual placement of remote controls into the hopper 8. The retraction of cylinder 5 facilitates gripping by the robotic arm. This dual-station design allows for convenient manual material placement. The hopper 8 consists of five parallel placement slots 13 (small hoppers). After the robotic arm grips one row, the sensor 14 detects the absence of material (remote controls). The synchronous pulley 3 of motor 1 then rotates the roller screw 2, which, guided by the first guide rail 4, drives the push rod mechanism 6 to sequentially feed and replenish material. The gripped remote controls are then placed into the storage compartment by the robotic arm. Inside box 1, the rotary cylinder 10 rotates to an inclined angle, causing the remote control inside the packaging bag to slide out of the button area. Then, the clamping cylinder 11 retracts, causing the fixing block 12 to clamp the remote control. The cylinder on the robotic arm clamps and removes the battery isolation plate 9 from the remote control, powering it on and testing the button performance in sequence. After the performance test is completed, the robotic arm inserts the battery isolation plate 9 into the remote control. Then, the clamping cylinder 11 opens, and the rotary cylinder 10 rotates, causing the remote control to fall into the bag. The robotic arm then picks it up and places it in the packaging box.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
