Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic carrier reel lines, specifically a gripping mechanism for automatic carrier reel lines. Background Technology

[0002] A carrier reel is a container used for packaging and storing electronic components, primarily in the semiconductor packaging industry. It is typically made of plastic or paper and is used to wind the reel used with carrier tape products. The design and material selection of the carrier reel significantly impact its performance and lifespan. Automated carrier reel lines usually require a gripping mechanism to pick up the reels. However, existing automated carrier reel lines use gripping mechanisms with limited functionality, unable to perform operations such as gripping, soaking in antistatic agents, spin-drying, and alignment, thus affecting work efficiency.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a gripping mechanism for automatic carrier reel production lines is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gripping mechanism for an automated tape reel production line to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a gripping mechanism for an automatic carrier reel production line, comprising an electric slide rail, a sliding seat slidably disposed on the surface of the electric slide rail, a first fixing member fixedly disposed on one side of the sliding seat, a drive chain fixedly disposed inside the first fixing member, a second fixing member fixedly connected to the end of the drive chain away from the first fixing member, a mounting column fixedly disposed on the inner side of the second fixing member, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting column, a servo motor fixedly mounted on the top end of the fixing plate, a connecting seat fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor passing through the fixing plate, a gripping robot fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the connecting seat, a protective cover disposed on the surface of the fixing plate, a mounting member fixedly disposed on one side of the protective cover, and a position sensor fixedly mounted in the middle of the mounting member.

[0006] The sliding seat is driven to move left and right by an electric slide rail, which in turn moves the first fixing component, drive chain, second fixing component, mounting column, and gripping robot arm left and right. The drive chain then drives the second fixing component to move downward, which in turn moves the gripping robot arm downward. The gripping robot arm then grabs the carrier tape reel and transfers it to an antistatic bath for soaking. A servo motor drives the connecting seat to rotate, which in turn moves the gripping robot arm to facilitate the spin-drying operation of the carrier tape reel. Finally, with the help of a position sensor, the carrier tape reel is precisely aligned, thus ensuring work efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, a guide rail is fixedly provided on the side of the sliding seat away from the first fixing member, a guide block is slidably provided on the surface of the guide rail, a connecting block is fixedly provided on the surface of the guide block, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the mounting column. The cooperation between the guide rail and the guide block facilitates the stable up and down movement of the mounting column.

[0008] Preferably, a mounting block is fixedly provided at the top of the mounting column, and an auxiliary groove is provided at the top of the mounting block. The auxiliary groove can prevent the mounting block from interfering with the guide rail.

[0009] Preferably, a second reinforcing member is fixedly provided on both sides of the connection between the mounting column and the fixing plate. The structural strength of the gripping mechanism can be improved by the provision of two second reinforcing members.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly provided at the top of the connection between the mounting column and the fixing plate, and a first reinforcing member is fixedly provided on the side of the fixing block away from the mounting column. The bottom end of the first reinforcing member is fixedly connected to the fixing plate. The structural strength of the gripping mechanism can be further improved by the setting of the fixing block and the first reinforcing member.

[0011] Preferably, a limit block is fixedly provided on one side of the electric slide rail, and the limit block is correspondingly provided with the slide seat. The limit block can limit the movement of the slide seat.

[0012] Preferably, an indicator light is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding seat. A green indicator light indicates that the mechanism is working normally, while a red indicator light indicates that the mechanism has malfunctioned.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The sliding seat is driven to move left and right by an electric slide rail, which in turn moves the first fixing component, drive chain, second fixing component, mounting column, and gripping robot arm left and right. The drive chain then drives the second fixing component to move downward, which in turn moves the gripping robot arm downward. The gripping robot arm then grabs the carrier tape reel and transfers it to an antistatic bath for soaking. A servo motor drives the connecting seat to rotate, which in turn moves the gripping robot arm to facilitate the spin-drying operation of the carrier tape reel. Finally, with the help of a position sensor, the carrier tape reel is precisely aligned, thus ensuring work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a gripping mechanism for an automated conveyor belt production line, including an electric slide rail 1, a sliding seat 2 slidably disposed on the surface of the electric slide rail 1, a first fixing member 3 fixedly disposed on one side of the sliding seat 2, a drive chain belt 4 fixedly disposed inside the first fixing member 3, a second fixing member 5 fixedly connected to the end of the drive chain belt 4 away from the first fixing member 3, a mounting post 6 fixedly disposed on the inner side of the second fixing member 5, a fixing plate 7 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting post 6, a servo motor 10 fixedly mounted on the top end of the fixing plate 7, a connecting seat 11 fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 10 through the fixing plate 7, a gripping robot arm 12 fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the connecting seat 11, a protective cover 14 disposed on the surface of the fixing plate 7, and a mounting bracket 12 fixedly disposed on one side of the protective cover 14. Mounting component 15 has a position sensor 16 fixedly installed in its middle. The sliding seat 2 is driven to move left and right by the electric slide rail 1, which in turn drives the first fixing component 3, drive chain 4, second fixing component 5, mounting column 6 and gripping robot 12 to move left and right. The second fixing component 5 is driven to move downward by the drive chain 4, which in turn drives the gripping robot 12 to move downward. The gripping robot 12 then grips the carrier tape reel and transfers it to the soaking tank for soaking in antistatic liquid. The connecting seat 11 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 10, which in turn drives the gripping robot 12 to move, thus facilitating the spin-drying operation of the carrier tape reel. Finally, with the cooperation of the position sensor 16, the carrier tape reel is precisely aligned, thereby ensuring work efficiency.

[0022] A guide rail 18 is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding seat 2 away from the first fixing member 3. A guide block 19 is slidably installed on the surface of the guide rail 18. A connecting block 20 is fixedly installed on the surface of the guide block 19. The connecting block 20 is fixedly connected to the mounting column 6. A mounting block 21 is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting column 6. An auxiliary groove 22 is opened at the top of the mounting block 21. Second reinforcing members 9 are fixedly installed on both sides of the connection between the mounting column 6 and the fixing plate 7.

[0023] In use, the cooperation between the guide rail 18 and the guide block 19 facilitates the stable up and down movement of the mounting column 6. The auxiliary groove 22 prevents the mounting block 21 from interfering with the guide rail 18. The two second reinforcing members 9 improve the structural strength of the gripping mechanism.

[0024] A fixing block 13 is fixedly installed at the top of the connection between the mounting column 6 and the fixing plate 7. A first reinforcing member 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing block 13 away from the mounting column 6. The bottom end of the first reinforcing member 8 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 7. A limit block 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the electric slide rail 1. The limit block 17 is correspondingly installed with the sliding seat 2. An indicator light 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding seat 2.

[0025] In use, the structural strength of the gripping mechanism can be further improved by setting the fixing block 13 and the first reinforcing member 8. The sliding seat 2 can be limited by setting the limiting block 17. When the indicator light 23 is green, it means that the mechanism is working normally. When the indicator light 23 is red, it means that the mechanism has malfunctioned.

[0026] In this embodiment, the sliding seat 2 is driven to move left and right by the electric slide rail 1, which in turn drives the first fixing member 3, the drive chain 4, the second fixing member 5, the mounting column 6, and the gripping robot 12 to move left and right. Then, the second fixing member 5 is driven to move downward by the drive chain 4, which in turn drives the gripping robot 12 to move downward. The gripping robot 12 then grips the carrier tape reel and transfers it to the soaking tank for soaking in antistatic liquid. The connecting seat 11 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 10, which in turn drives the gripping robot 12 to move, thus facilitating the spin-drying operation of the carrier tape reel. Finally, with the cooperation of the position sensor 16, the carrier tape reel is precisely aligned, thereby ensuring work efficiency.

[0027] Although the present invention 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 invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
