Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding of material sorting machines, and in particular to the vibration structure of the suction cup of a material sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A material suction structure is a device used in many fields such as industrial production and logistics to pick up and transport materials from one location to another. It mainly utilizes various physical principles, such as vacuum adsorption and magnetic adsorption, to achieve material gripping through contact between specific suction cups or adsorption components and the material, generating an adsorption force. For example, a common vacuum material suction structure includes a vacuum generator, vacuum suction cups, and connecting pipes. The vacuum generator creates negative pressure, which is transmitted to the vacuum suction cups through the pipes, enabling the suction cups to adsorb materials.

[0003] Most of the suction structures on the market currently use vacuum suction cups. However, in actual use, vacuum suction cups cannot guarantee a high probability of accurate suction, resulting in problems such as continuous suction, incorrect suction, and empty suction. At the same time, most suction structures on the market are only suitable for adsorbing smaller products, and the overall structure is also relatively small, with insufficient load capacity to adsorb larger products. Furthermore, due to the large weight of the products, gravity imbalance occurs, making it difficult for vacuum suction cups to pick up irregularly shaped items. Therefore, a vibrating suction cup structure for the sorting machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a vibrating structure for the suction cup of a material distributor, which aims to improve the problem of material adhesion during the adsorption process in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a vibrating structure for a material sorting machine suction cup, including a mounting plate, a mounting frame slidably connected to the top of the mounting plate, a first drive belt sleeved on the front of the mounting frame, a connecting frame slidably connected to the outer wall of the first drive belt, a self-rotating shaft motor fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame, a fixed frame fixedly connected to the output end of the self-rotating shaft motor, multiple vibration components arranged at the bottom of the fixed frame, a Y-axis transverse movement component arranged on the right side of the mounting plate, a guide component arranged on the left side of the mounting plate, and an X-axis transverse movement component arranged at the bottom of the mounting frame;

The bottom right side of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the second drive belt.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The X-axis transverse movement assembly includes a cylinder, which is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, and the cylinder output end is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the mounting bracket.

[0020] 1.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] 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.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a vibrating structure for a material distributor's suction cup, including a mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 is the basic support component of the entire vibrating structure for the material distributor's suction cup. It provides a base for mounting other components, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire structure. A mounting frame 2 is slidably connected to the top of the mounting plate 1, and the mounting frame 2 is mounted on the top of the mounting plate 1 through a sliding connection. This sliding connection allows the mounting frame 2 to move relative to the mounting plate 1, facilitating subsequent operations on materials at different positions. A first drive belt 3 is sleeved on the front of the mounting frame 2. The rotation of the drive belt can drive other components connected to it to move. During the material distribution operation, the first drive belt 3 can transmit power, causing components such as the connecting frame 4 to move according to a predetermined trajectory and speed. The connecting frame 4 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the first drive belt 3. The connecting frame 4 plays the role of connecting and supporting other important components. It can move components such as the self-rotating shaft motor 5 to a suitable position for material processing. A self-rotating shaft motor 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 4. The self-rotating shaft motor 5 plays an important role in the material distribution process. It can adjust the direction of the fixed frame 6 by its own rotation, so that the vibration component can operate the material at different angles and directions, thereby improving the flexibility and accuracy of material distribution. A fixed frame 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the self-rotating shaft motor 5. The rotation of the self-rotating shaft motor 5 can directly drive the fixed frame 6 to rotate. Multiple vibration components are installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 6. These vibration components can generate vibration to better distribute materials on the suction cup or to remove materials from the suction cup, thereby achieving efficient material distribution. A Y-axis transverse component is provided on the right side of the mounting plate 1. It can control the movement of the entire structure in the Y-axis direction, which is usually the front-back direction. A guide component is provided on the left side of the mounting plate 1. The guide component can ensure the stability of the structure during movement and prevent deviation or shaking, thereby ensuring the accuracy of material distribution. An X-axis transverse component is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 2. The X-axis transverse component can make the suction cup vibration structure precisely adjusted in the X-axis direction according to the position of the material. In conjunction with the Y-axis transverse component, it can achieve all-round positioning and operation of the material.

[0029] Reference Figure 3The vibration assembly includes multiple connecting rods 7. The top of each connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of a fixed frame 6, ensuring that the connecting rod 7 can move along with the fixed frame 6. A fixed plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each connecting rod 7. The fixed plate 8 is the base component for mounting the vibration motor 9 and the magnetic suction plate 10. Two vibration motors 9 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 8. During the material distribution operation, the vibration motor 9 will generate vibration after starting. This vibration is transmitted to the magnetic suction plate 10 through the fixed plate 8 and the connecting rods 7, causing the magnetic suction plate 10 to vibrate, thereby processing the material and preventing the material from sticking to the magnetic suction plate 10. Multiple magnetic suction plates 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 8. The magnetic suction plates 10 are connected to the object to be distributed by magnetic force, picking up the material from one place to another. At the same time, since it is connected to the vibration motor 9 through the fixed plate 8, the magnetic suction plate 10 will vibrate when the vibration motor 9 is working, which helps to better process the material. A micro switch 11 is installed between the fixed plate 8 and the vibrating motor 9. The micro switch 11 controls the working state of the vibrating motor 9. When the material adsorbed by the magnetic iron plate 10 reaches a certain condition, the micro switch 11 can control the vibrating motor 9 to start or stop, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of the vibration operation, thereby improving the material distribution efficiency.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 The Y-axis lateral movement assembly includes a lateral movement frame 18, which is located on the right side of the mounting plate 1. The lateral movement frame 18 provides a mounting base for components such as the drive motor 13, and plays a supporting and guiding role during the Y-axis lateral movement, ensuring that the entire structure can move smoothly and accurately in the Y-axis direction. The drive motor 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lateral movement frame 18, and a second drive belt 14 is sleeved on the output end of the drive motor 13. The bottom right side of the mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second drive belt 14. After the drive motor 13 is started, it will drive the second drive belt 14 to rotate, thereby moving the mounting plate 1 in the Y-axis direction, realizing the positioning and operation of materials in the front-to-back direction.

[0031] The X-axis transverse component includes a cylinder 12, which is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 1. During the material distribution operation, the cylinder 12 pushes the mounting frame 2 to move in the X-axis direction by its own extension and retraction. The output end of the cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the mounting frame 2, ensuring the directness and effectiveness of power transmission, enabling the mounting frame 2 to move precisely in the X-axis direction, thereby improving the flexibility and accuracy of the material distributor when processing materials.

[0032] Reference Figure 1The guiding assembly includes a connecting block 17, whose top is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the mounting plate 1. The connecting block 17 serves to connect and support other guiding components, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire guiding assembly within the material distributor structure. Two guide blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 17, providing guidance during the material distributor's movement. These guide blocks, in conjunction with the guide rail 15, ensure that the mounting plate 1 moves along a predetermined direction during movement, preventing deviation or wobbling, thereby improving the accuracy of the material distribution operation. The guide rail 15 is slidably connected to the bottom center of the guide block 16, providing a precise movement trajectory for the entire structure. During the material distribution process, it ensures that the mounting plate 1 and its components accurately move to the predetermined position, achieving efficient material distribution.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 The outer walls of the mounting frame 2 and the transverse frame 18 are both fixedly connected with protective plates 19. The protective plates 19 are used to guide the lines during the movement of the device to ensure that the device will not affect the lines during the movement.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 The micro switch 11 is electrically connected to the vibration motor 9, enabling the micro switch 11 to control the working state of the vibration motor 9.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 The magnetic suction plate 10 connects to the object to be dispensed using magnetic force. It enables rapid and secure adsorption of metallic materials, improving dispensing efficiency. Secondly, unlike vacuum suction cups, the magnetic suction plate 10 does not require a continuous vacuum supply during dispensing, making operation simpler and more reliable. Furthermore, the vibration generated by the magnetic suction plate 10 when the vibration motor 9 is operating better handles the adsorbed materials, preventing material adhesion and ensuring smooth dispensing operations.

[0036] Working principle: When material needs to be picked up, cylinder 12 in the X-axis transverse assembly first starts to work. When cylinder 12 extends or retracts, it pushes the mounting bracket 2 to move along the X-axis direction on the top of the mounting plate 1, so that the mounting bracket 2 moves to the approximate position of the material in the X-axis direction.

[0037] Next, the Y-axis transverse assembly begins to operate. After the drive motor 13 in the Y-axis transverse assembly starts, it drives the second drive belt 14 to rotate, causing the mounting plate 1 to move along the Y-axis direction under the support of the transverse frame 18, thereby accurately moving the component connected to the mounting frame 2 to the position of the material in the Y-axis direction.

[0038] After the magnetic disk 10 is moved to the material by horizontal movement along the X and Y axes, the magnetic disk 10 connects to the object to be dispensed by magnetic force, firmly holding the material in place.

[0039] After the magnetic suction plate 10 attracts material, if material sticks, the vibration motor 9 on the top of the fixing plate 8 will start working. The micro switch 11 controls the start of the vibration motor 9, and the vibration generated by the vibration motor 9 is transmitted to the magnetic suction plate 10. Under the action of vibration, the magnetic suction plate 10 causes the sticky material to fall off, ensuring that only the target material is picked up, and preventing material distribution errors or difficulties in subsequent operations caused by sticking.

[0040] After picking up the material and removing any adhesion, the X-axis and Y-axis transverse components control the movement of the mounting frame 2 and mounting plate 1 again, moving the material attracted by the magnetic magnetic disk 10 to the designated placement position. Simultaneously, the self-rotating shaft motor 5 can adjust the angle of the fixing frame 6 as needed to ensure the material is accurately placed at the target position. Once the material reaches the designated position, the magnetic magnetic disk 10 releases its magnetic force, placing the material in the designated location, completing one material distribution operation.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
