Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated production technology, and more specifically, to a product transfer module and an automated production line. Background Technology

[0002] In current electronic product manufacturing technologies, automated production is undoubtedly the most widely used production method. Currently, in the automated production industry, the four-sided precision positioning of turntable structures is relatively commonly mounted on the turntable. When two material bins in the same position are needed to meet equipment capacity requirements, a dual pneumatic structure is required for four-sided precision positioning. Because it needs to support 360° rotation for bin changing, a pneumatic-electric rotary joint must be added. This requires a larger equipment space and is relatively difficult to maintain and debug, resulting in higher costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The first objective of this utility model is to provide a product transmission module to solve the existing technical problem of large space requirements for equipment.

[0004] The first aspect of this utility model provides a product transmission module, including a rotating transmission mechanism, an unlocking component, and a clamping mechanism. The rotating transmission mechanism includes a turntable, on which a plurality of clamping mechanisms are provided circumferentially. The clamping mechanism includes a reset component and a clamping component. The clamping component includes a movable clamping member movably disposed relative to the turntable and a fixed clamping member fixedly disposed relative to the turntable. The reset component is used to drive the movable clamping member to move toward the fixed clamping member, and the unlocking component is used to drive the movable clamping member to move away from the fixed clamping member.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the transmission module of this utility model are:

[0006] By incorporating a reset component to move the movable clamping element toward the fixed clamping element, and an unlocking component to drive the movable clamping element away from the fixed clamping element, the reset component continuously applies a force towards the fixed clamping element to keep the product firmly clamped within the clamping mechanism during the rotation of the turntable and the movement of the clamping mechanism. This prevents product jitter or positional displacement. Consequently, during turntable rotation, there is no need for a pneumatic-electric conversion connector to ensure continuous air and power supply to the clamping mechanism. The clamping action is only required at the points where the product is placed into and removed from the product conveying module, reducing space requirements and improving the efficiency of equipment operation and debugging.

[0007] In an optional technical solution, the reset assembly includes an elastic reset member, a reset base, and a reset transmission member. The reset base is fixedly disposed relative to the turntable. One end of the elastic reset member is connected to the reset base, and the other end of the elastic reset member is connected to the reset transmission member. The reset transmission member is fixedly connected to the movable clamping member.

[0008] In an optional technical solution, the movable clamping member includes a first clamping rod and a second clamping rod. The first clamping rod is used to abut against a first side of the product, and the second clamping rod is used to abut against a second side of the product. The first side and the second side are adjacent sides of the product, and the reset direction of the reset component forms an acute angle with both the first side and the second side.

[0009] In an optional technical solution, the unlocking component includes an unlocking drive and an unlocking abutment, the unlocking drive being tractively connected to the unlocking abutment, and the unlocking abutment being configured to abut against the reset component.

[0010] In an optional technical solution, the reset assembly further includes an extension member that extends out of the reset transmission member and abuts against the unlocking abutment member.

[0011] In an optional technical solution, the abutment surface of the unlocking abutment is configured such that as the unlocking abutment pushes the reset component, the distance between the abutment surface and the reset transmission component gradually approaches; the protruding member has an abutment shaft portion and an abutment sleeve portion, the abutment sleeve portion is rotatably sleeved outside the abutment shaft portion and rollably connected to the abutment surface.

[0012] In an optional technical solution, the reset assembly further includes a reset limiting member, which is used to limit the farthest distance between the reset transmission member and the reset base.

[0013] In an optional technical solution, the product transfer module further includes a first sensor, and the turntable has a hollowed-out portion, with the first sensor facing the hollowed-out portion, which is located between the fixed clamping member and the movable clamping member.

[0014] In an optional technical solution, the product transfer module further includes a second sensor, which is positioned higher than the turntable; the second sensor is used to detect the product when the turntable drives the clamping mechanism to rotate.

[0015] The second objective of this utility model is to provide an automated production line to solve the technical problem of large space requirements for equipment.

[0016] The automated production line provided by the second aspect of this utility model includes the aforementioned product transfer module.

[0017] By setting up the aforementioned product transfer module in the automated production line, the automated production line will have all the advantages of the aforementioned product transfer module, which will not be elaborated here. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the product transmission module provided in this embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the product transmission module provided in an embodiment of this utility model, viewed from another direction. Figure 3 A bottom view of the product transmission module provided in an embodiment of this utility model. (See figure) Figures 1-3 As shown, the product transmission module provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model includes a rotating transmission mechanism 100, an unlocking component 200, and a clamping mechanism 300. The rotating transmission mechanism 100 includes a turntable 110, and a plurality of clamping mechanisms 300 are provided along the circumferential direction of the turntable 110. The clamping mechanism 300 includes a reset component 310 and a clamping component 320. The clamping component 320 includes a movable clamping member 321 that is movably disposed relative to the turntable 110 and a fixed clamping member 322 that is fixedly disposed relative to the turntable 110. The reset component 310 is used to drive the movable clamping member 321 to move toward the fixed clamping member 322, and the unlocking component 200 is used to drive the movable clamping member 321 to move away from the fixed clamping member 322.

[0031] By setting a reset component 310 to move the movable clamping member 321 toward the fixed clamping member 322, and setting an unlocking component 200 to drive the movable clamping member 321 to move away from the fixed clamping member 322, the reset component 310 can continuously drive the movable clamping member 321 to apply a force toward the fixed clamping member 322 to clamp the product 500 in the clamping mechanism 300 during the rotation of the turntable 110, thus preventing the product 500 from shaking or shifting position. Therefore, during the rotation of the turntable 110, there is no need to set a pneumatic-electric conversion connector for the clamping mechanism 300 to ensure continuous air and power supply. The clamping can be released only when the product 500 is placed into and removed from the product 500 conveying module, thereby reducing space requirements and improving the efficiency of equipment operation and debugging.

[0032] In this embodiment, the turntable 110 is approximately circular, and the center of its lower surface is connected to the rotation drive component 130 via a reducer 120. In this embodiment, the rotation drive component 130 can be a servo motor.

[0033] Four clamping mechanisms 300 can be installed on the turntable 110, and the four clamping mechanisms 300 are evenly arranged circumferentially around the edge of the turntable 110. The positions for placing the product 500 into the product 500 conveying module and for removing the product 500 can be collinear with the axis of the turntable 110. Unlocking components 200 are correspondingly provided at the product 500 placement and removal positions to release the reset action of the reset component 310 on the clamping component 320, facilitating the placement and removal of the product 500.

[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, optionally, the reset assembly 310 includes an elastic reset member 311, a reset base 312, and a reset transmission member 313. The reset base 312 is fixedly disposed relative to the turntable 110. One end of the elastic reset member 311 is connected to the reset base 312, and the other end of the elastic reset member 311 is connected to the reset transmission member 313. The reset transmission member 313 is fixedly connected to the movable clamping member 321.

[0035] By setting the elastic reset member 311, the ability of the elastic reset member 311 to restore its original state can be used to drive the reset transmission member 313 to move the movable clamping member 321 toward the fixed clamping member 322, so as to clamp the corresponding product 500.

[0036] In this embodiment, the reset assembly 310 is located below the turntable 110, while the movable clamping member 321 passes through the turntable 110 and extends above it to clamp the product 500. A guide rod 3111 can be fixedly connected to the reset base 312, and the elastic reset member 311 is sleeved on the guide rod 3111. A portion of the guide rod 3111 can pass through the reset transmission member 313. The reset transmission member 313 is guided by a slider mounted on it and a slide rail, which is mounted on the lower surface of the turntable 110. In this embodiment, there can be two guide rods 3111, each with an elastic reset member 311 sleeved on it. The elastic reset member 311 can specifically be a cylindrical helical compression spring, with one end abutting against the reset base 312 and the other end abutting against the reset transmission member 313. When the unlocking component 200 unlocks the reset component 310, the cylindrical helical compression spring, which is the elastic reset member 311, is compressed. When the unlocking component 200 does not function, the cylindrical helical compression spring, which is the elastic reset member 311, rebounds and restores its length so that the movable clamping member 321 is abutted against the product 500 through the reset transmission member 313.

[0037] In this embodiment, the side of the reset transmission member 313 that is abutted by the elastic reset member 311 is perpendicular to the reset direction of the reset assembly 310, that is, perpendicular to the extension and retraction direction of the cylindrical helical compression spring and the length direction of the positioning rod.

[0038] like Figures 1-3 As shown, optionally, the movable clamping member 321 includes a first clamping rod 3211 and a second clamping rod 3212. The first clamping rod 3211 is used to abut against the first side of the product 500, and the second clamping rod 3212 is used to abut against the second side of the product 500. The first side and the second side are adjacent sides of the product 500, and the reset direction of the reset assembly 310 forms an acute angle with both the first side and the second side.

[0039] By setting the reset direction of the reset assembly 310 to form an acute angle with both the first and second sides of the product 500, when the reset assembly 310 drives the movable clamping member 321 to move, it can simultaneously clamp both adjacent sides of the product 500, improving operational efficiency and reducing equipment complexity and cost. Furthermore, it ensures that the first clamping rod and the second clamping rod 3212 can simultaneously clamp the product 500, guaranteeing a proper clamping effect.

[0040] Specifically, since the product 500 is a roughly rectangular sheet or plate, the reset direction of the reset assembly 310 has an angle of 45° with both the first and second sides. This ensures that when the reset assembly 310 drives the movable clamping member 321 to abut against the product 500, the movable clamping member 321 applies a uniform force to the adjacent first and second sides of the product 500.

[0041] like Figures 1-3 As shown, optionally, the unlocking component 200 includes an unlocking drive 210 and an unlocking abutment 220, the unlocking drive 210 being drivenly connected to the unlocking abutment 220, and the unlocking abutment 220 being configured to abut against the reset component 310.

[0042] By setting the unlocking abutment 220 to abut the reset component 310, the reset component 310 can be pushed to move in the direction that drives the movable clamping component 321 away from the fixed clamping component 322, thereby releasing the clamping component 321 from the product 500, so that the clamping mechanism 300 can put in or take away the product 500 when it moves to the work position for picking up and putting in the product 500.

[0043] In this embodiment, the unlocking drive component 210 can be a cylinder, which can have a built-in guide structure to counteract forces acting outside the piston rod's extension direction. A magnetic switch can be installed on the cylinder to detect whether the piston with the magnetic ring is in the appropriate position, providing control feedback signals for the cylinder's movement.

[0044] The unlocking abutment 220 can be fixedly connected to the output end of the unlocking drive 210. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cylinder can be a cylinder with two piston rods arranged side by side, and the unlocking abutment 220 can be fixedly connected to the output plate connected by the two piston rods.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the reset assembly 310 also includes an extension 314 that extends out of the reset transmission member 313 and abuts against the unlocking abutment member 220.

[0046] By providing the protruding part 314 to abut against the unlocking abutment 220, the unlocking abutment 220 can be positioned outside the active area of ​​the turntable 110, preventing interference between the unlocking abutment 220 and the rotation of the turntable 110. Furthermore, using the protruding part 314 as a medium to transmit the thrust of the unlocking abutment 220 reduces the weight of the reset assembly 310, thereby controlling the overall rotational inertia of all components driven by the turntable 110.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the abutment surface of the unlocking abutment 220 is configured such that as the unlocking abutment 220 pushes the reset assembly 310, the distance between the abutment surface and the reset transmission member 313 gradually approaches; the protruding member 314 has an abutment shaft portion 3142 and an abutment sleeve portion 3143, the abutment sleeve portion 3143 is rotatably sleeved outside the abutment shaft portion 3142 and rollably connected to the abutment surface.

[0048] By configuring the abutment surface of the unlocking abutment 220 in the above manner, the distance between the abutment surface and the reset transmission member 313 gradually approaches during the process of the unlocking abutment 220 pushing the reset assembly 310, thereby increasing the actual pushing distance of the unlocking abutment 220. In other words, the force exerted by the unlocking abutment 220 on the reset assembly 310 can be reduced, thus reducing the burden on the unlocking drive member 210. At the same time, by making the abutment sleeve 3143 roll-connected to the abutment surface, the abutment sleeve can roll on the abutment surface when the abutment surface pushes the abutment sleeve 3143, reducing the movement resistance of the unlocking abutment 220.

[0049] In this embodiment, the protruding member 314 may include a rod 3141, an abutting shaft portion 3142, and an abutting sleeve portion 3143. One end of the rod 3141 is fixedly connected to the reset transmission member 313, while the other end is provided with the abutting shaft portion 3142. The axis of the abutting shaft portion 3142 is perpendicular to the length direction of the rod 3141, for example, it can be vertical. The abutting shaft portion 3142 is fitted with the abutting sleeve portion 3143, and the cylindrical abutting sleeve portion 3143 abuts against the unlocking abutting member 220. With this configuration, the abutting sleeve portion 3143 can be rolled in connection with the unlocking abutting member 220. Since the unlocking drive member 210 drives the unlocking abutting member 220 in the radial direction of the turntable 110, while the reset transmission member 313 does not move in the radial direction of the turntable 110, their movement directions are not consistent. Therefore, when the unlocking abutment 220 pushes the abutment sleeve 3143 to move, the contact position between the abutment sleeve 3143 and the unlocking abutment 220 will change. Then, the cylindrical abutment sleeve 3143 will contact the unlocking abutment 220, and the abutment sleeve 3143 can roll on the surface of the unlocking abutment 220, thereby reducing the movement resistance of the unlocking abutment 220.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, for the clamping mechanism 300 and unlocking component 200 (partially enlarged), the abutment surface extends from the upper left to the lower right. If the abutment surface is closer to the upper left position and contacts the protruding member 314, the unlocking abutment member 220 has just begun to push the protruding member 314, and the distance between the unlocking abutment member 220 and the reset transmission member 313 is relatively far. If the abutment surface is closer to the lower right position and contacts the protruding member 314, the process of the unlocking abutment member 220 pushing the protruding member 314 is nearly complete, and the distance between the unlocking abutment member 220 and the reset transmission member 313 is relatively close.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the reset assembly 310 also includes a reset limiting member 315, which is used to limit the farthest distance between the reset transmission member 313 and the reset base 312.

[0052] By setting a reset limit member 315, when the clamping mechanism 300 is not clamping the product 500, the maximum distance that the reset transmission member 313 can be pushed by the elastic reset member 311 can be limited. This makes it easier to use the unlocking drive member 210 to unlock the abutment member 220 to push the reset assembly 310 to reset, so as to open the clamping mechanism 300 and make it easier to put the product 500 in.

[0053] When the clamping mechanism 300 clamps the product 500 for transportation, the furthest distance between the reset transmission member 313 and the reset base 312 is limited by the size of the product 500. When the clamping mechanism 300 does not clamp the product 500, if the reset limit member 315 is not provided, the elastic reset member 311 can push the reset transmission member 313 to a position where the elastic reset member 311 has almost zero deformation. At this time, the reset transmission member 313 will be too far outward, that is, the distance relative to the axis of the turntable 110 will be too large. Especially when the reset transmission member 313 includes the protrusion 314, the free end of the protrusion 314 may interfere with other components when the turntable 110 rotates. The reset limit member 315 is set to control the position of the reset transmission member 313. On the one hand, it can prevent the reset transmission member 313 from being pushed far away from the reset base 312 by the elastic reset member 311, and prevent the protruding member 314 from interfering with other parts. On the other hand, it can also reduce the stroke of the protruding member 314 on the abutment surface, which is conducive to shortening the length of the abutment surface and reducing the amount of material used in the unlocking abutment member 220.

[0054] like Figures 1-3 As shown, optionally, the product transfer module also includes a first sensor 410. The turntable 110 is provided with a hollowed-out portion 111. The first sensor 410 faces the hollowed-out portion 111, and the hollowed-out portion 111 is located between the fixed clamping member 322 and the movable clamping member 321.

[0055] By setting the first sensor 410 toward the cutout 111 on the turntable 110, the first cutout 111 can detect whether the product 500 is being placed between the fixed clamping member 322 and the movable clamping member 321 or whether the product 500 is being taken out, thereby providing a signal for controlling the action of the clamping component 320 of the clamping mechanism 300.

[0056] The first sensor 410 can be a reflective sensor. When a product 500 is placed between the movable clamp 321 and the fixed clamp 322, the signal emitted by the first sensor 410 is reflected, and the first sensor 410 detects the presence of the product 500 at that location. However, when no product 500 is placed between the movable clamp 321 and the fixed clamp 322, the signal emitted by the first sensor 410, after passing through the cutout 111, is not reflected as promptly as when a product 500 is placed, or the reflected signal strength is significantly weakened. Therefore, the first sensor 410 cannot detect the presence of the product 500 at that location. Specifically, the first sensor 410 can be a reflective photoelectric sensor.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, optionally, the product transfer module also includes a second sensor 420, which is positioned higher than the turntable 110; the second sensor 420 is used to detect the product 500 when the turntable 110 drives the clamping mechanism 300 to rotate.

[0058] By setting a second sensor 420 to detect the product 500 when the turntable 110 drives the clamping mechanism 300 to rotate, it can be confirmed whether the product 500 is being transported by the clamping mechanism 300. If it is detected that the clamping mechanism 300 is not carrying the product 500, the control mechanism (not shown) can be notified in time to trigger an alarm and the fault can be manually resolved.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second sensor 420 is positioned such that when the clamping mechanism 300, carrying the product 500, rotates 90° from its product-receiving position, the second sensor 420 can detect whether the clamping mechanism 300 is carrying the product 500. The second sensor 420 can be a through-beam photoelectric sensor. When the clamping mechanism 300 reaches this position, the signal transmitting end of the second sensor 420 emits a signal, and the signal receiving end of the second sensor 420 receives the signal, indicating that the clamping mechanism 300 at this position is not carrying the product 500. Conversely, if the signal receiving end of the second sensor 420 does not receive a signal, it indicates that the signal is blocked by the product 500, meaning that the clamping mechanism 300 at this position is carrying the product 500.

[0060] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the operating principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0061] The starting point is when a clamping mechanism 300 moves to the loading position but has not yet received product 500.

[0062] The first sensor 410 detects through the cutout 111 that the clamping mechanism 300 is not carrying the product 500. Then, the unlocking drive 210 of the unlocking assembly 200 drives the unlocking abutment 220 to push the abutment sleeve 3143. The abutment sleeve 3143 drives the abutment shaft 3142 and the rod 3141. The rod 3141 drives the reset transmission 313. The reset transmission 313 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic reset 311, compresses the elastic reset 311, and moves along the slide rail towards the reset base 312. This causes the movable clamping member 321 mounted on the reset transmission 313 to move away from the fixed clamping member 322, increasing the space between the movable clamping member 321 and the fixed clamping member 322.

[0063] An external device (not shown) places product 500 into the space between movable clamping member 321 and fixed clamping member 322. First sensor 410 detects the product 500 being placed in the clamping mechanism 300 through the cutout 111. Unlocking drive member 210 then retracts, causing unlocking abutment member 220 to retract. The deformed elastic reset member 311 returns to its original length, thereby pushing reset transmission member 313 away from reset base 312. Reset transmission member 313 drives movable clamping member 321 towards fixed clamping member 322. The first clamping rod 3211 and second clamping rod 3212 of movable clamping member 321 cooperate with fixed clamping member 322 to clamp product 500.

[0064] Turntable 110 rotates under the action of rotation drive 130. After the clamping mechanism 300 carrying product 500 rotates 90°, the second sensor 420 detects whether the clamping mechanism 300, which has moved to that position, has product 500. If product 500 is present, turntable 110 continues to rotate. If product 500 is not present, an alarm is triggered.

[0065] When the turntable 110 rotates the clamping mechanism 300 to the position where the product 500 is removed, the first sensor 410 detects through the cutout 111 whether the clamping mechanism 300 is carrying the product 500. If it is carrying the product 500, the unlocking drive 210 of the unlocking assembly 200 drives the unlocking abutment 220 to push the abutment sleeve 3143. The abutment sleeve 3143 drives the abutment shaft 3142 and the rod 3141. The rod 3141 drives the reset transmission 313. The reset transmission 313 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic reset 311, compresses the elastic reset 311, and moves along the slide rail towards the reset base 312. Thus, the movable clamping member 321 and the fixed clamping member 322 can release the clamp on the product 500.

[0066] After product 500 is removed by an external device (not shown) or by a person, the first sensor 410 detects that product 500 is not on the clamping mechanism 300. Then the unlocking drive 210 retracts, causing the unlocking abutment 220 to retract. The deformed elastic reset member 311 returns to its original length, thereby pushing the reset transmission member 313 to move away from the reset base 312.

[0067] After the clamping mechanism 300 continues to rotate 90°, another set of second sensors 420 detects whether the clamping mechanism 300 is clamping the product 500. If the product 500 is not clamped, the turntable 110 is controlled to continue rotating 90° until the clamping mechanism 300 rotates to the loading position for placing the product 500.
