Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automated equipment, specifically an automated part-picking device. Background Technology

[0002] On an automated production line, workpieces are transported on a conveyor belt. When a workpiece is transported to a worker, it needs to be manually removed from the conveyor belt and then processed by the worker.

[0003] The existing version is shown in the attached diagram of the specification. Figure 1 For workpieces of the type shown, manual removal from an automated production line disrupts the workflow, leading to a decrease in overall production efficiency. The lower speed and accuracy of manual operation also reduce the overall efficiency of the production line. Secondly, dedicated personnel are required to remove workpieces from the conveyor belt, increasing labor costs. If the number of workpieces on the production line is large, even more personnel may be needed, further increasing labor costs. Prolonged repetitive work can also lead to worker fatigue, increasing the risk of operational errors. Therefore, we propose an automated workpiece removal device. Utility Model Content

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] Example: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides an automated part-picking device, including a base 1, a controller 19 mounted on the base 1, a connecting frame 2 at the upper end of the base 1, and a rotating mechanism on the base 1, which is connected to one end of the connecting frame 2. A circular plate 3 is provided below the other end of the connecting frame 2. A moving mechanism is installed on the connecting frame 2. The moving mechanism is connected to the circular plate 3 and is used to drive the circular plate 3 to move up and down. Multiple base plates 4 arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed at the bottom of the circular plate 3. Each base plate 4 has a clamping plate 5 on one side. Multiple clamping plates 5 are arranged in a circular array. A guide frame 6 passes through each base plate 4. The guide frame 6 is U-shaped and is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 5. A spring 7 is fixedly connected between the guide frame 6 on the same side and the base plate 4. A winding wheel 8 is provided below the circular plate 3. Multiple connecting ropes 9 are fixedly connected inside the winding wheel 8. One end of each connecting rope 9 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 5. Anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to each clamping plate 5. A first motor 10 is fixedly installed on the circular plate 3. The output shaft of the first motor 10 is fixedly connected to the winding wheel 8.

[0024] The moving mechanism includes multiple guide rods 11 arranged in a circular array. The lower ends of the guide rods 11 are fixed to the circular plate 3, and the upper ends pass through the connecting frame 2. A limiting frame 12 is provided at the upper end of the connecting frame 2, and the limiting frame 12 is fixedly connected to the multiple guide rods 11. The moving mechanism also includes an electric push rod 13, which is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 2. The output end of the electric push rod 13 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 14, which is fixedly connected to the circular plate 3.

[0025] The rotating mechanism includes a second motor 15, which is fixedly mounted on the base 1, and the output shaft of the second motor 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting frame 2.

[0026] The workpiece 18 is transported to the designated position by belt conveyor 17, as can be referred to. Figure 2 As shown, the connecting plate 14 is moved downward by the electric push rod 13, and the connecting plate 14, the circular plate 3, and the base plate 4 move synchronously, causing multiple clamping plates 5 to move to the outside of the workpiece. Then, the first motor 10 drives the winding wheel 8 to rotate, and the winding wheel 8 winds up multiple connecting ropes 9. The connecting ropes 9 pull the clamping plates 5 toward the workpiece, and the spring 7 is compressed, so that the clamping plates 5 around the workpiece clamp the outside of the workpiece, thereby holding the workpiece. Then, the electric push rod 13 drives the circular plate 3 to move upward, so that the workpiece moves upward. Then, the second motor 15 drives the connecting frame 2 to rotate, thereby driving the workpiece to rotate to the worker's position. Then, the first motor 10 drives the winding wheel 8 to reverse, so that the elastic force of the spring 7 can drive the guide frame 6 and the clamping plates 5 to move in the opposite direction, thereby separating the clamping plates 5 from the workpiece, allowing the workpiece to fall to the worker's position. Thus, the device can automatically perform workpiece picking and transfer operations.

[0027] When picking up the workpiece, the second motor 15 drives the connecting frame 2 to rotate, so that the clamping plate 5 moves above the workpiece. Then, the electric push rod 13 drives the clamping plate 5 to move down and makes multiple clamping plates 5 surround the workpiece. Then, the workpiece is clamped by multiple clamping plates 5.

[0028] The device can handle the picking and transferring of workpieces, significantly reducing the time and error associated with manual operation, thereby substantially improving the overall production line efficiency. Businesses can reduce their reliance on manual labor, thus lowering labor costs. This translates to higher profit margins and stronger market competitiveness for enterprises.

[0029] The second motor 15, the electric push rod 13, and the first motor 10 are all electrically connected to the controller 19, which controls the operation of the second motor 15, the electric push rod 13, and the first motor 10. A reinforcing rod 16 is fixedly connected between the connecting frame 2 and the output shaft of the second motor 15 to improve the connection strength between the connecting frame 2 and the second motor 15.

[0030] Working principle: The workpiece 18 is transported to the designated position by the belt conveyor 17. (See reference...) Figure 2As shown, the connecting plate 14 is moved downward by the electric push rod 13, and the connecting plate 14, the circular plate 3, and the base plate 4 move synchronously, causing multiple clamping plates 5 to move to the outside of the workpiece. Then, the first motor 10 drives the winding wheel 8 to rotate, and the winding wheel 8 winds up multiple connecting ropes 9. The connecting ropes 9 pull the clamping plates 5 toward the workpiece, and the spring 7 is compressed, so that the clamping plates 5 around the workpiece clamp the outside of the workpiece, thereby holding the workpiece. Then, the electric push rod 13 drives the circular plate 3 to move upward, so that the workpiece moves upward. Then, the second motor 15 drives the connecting frame 2 to rotate, thereby driving the workpiece to rotate to the worker's position. Then, the first motor 10 drives the winding wheel 8 to reverse, so that the elastic force of the spring 7 can drive the guide frame 6 and the clamping plates 5 to move in the opposite direction, thereby separating the clamping plates 5 from the workpiece, allowing the workpiece to fall to the worker's position. Thus, the device can automatically perform workpiece picking and transfer operations.

[0031] When picking up the workpiece, the second motor 15 drives the connecting frame 2 to rotate, so that the clamping plate 5 moves above the workpiece. Then, the electric push rod 13 drives the clamping plate 5 to move down and makes multiple clamping plates 5 surround the workpiece. Then, the workpiece is clamped by multiple clamping plates 5.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
