Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of feeding device technology, specifically to a bottom plate feeding mechanism and bottom plate feeding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of mechanical technology, when flat base plates are fed into a material basket, the current method uses a robotic arm to grasp the flat base plate and align it with the basket. However, when multiple base plates need to be stacked in the basket, the robotic arm struggles to accurately grasp both sides of the wide edge of the flat base plate and maintain a stable grip to align it with the next layer, resulting in a scattered arrangement. Furthermore, misaligned base plates cause misalignment when retrieving them from the basket later, making it difficult to guarantee processing or assembly accuracy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to solve the problem of ensuring accurate placement of base plates when stacking multiple layers in a material basket. Utility Model Content

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this application embodiment provides a bottom plate loading mechanism 5 for stacking multiple bottom plates in a material basket 1. The bottom plate loading mechanism 5 includes: a horizontal support plate 51, a first gripper 52, a first push drive 53, a second gripper 54, a second push drive 55, and a push and sorting assembly 56.

[0045] The horizontal support plate 51 has a rectangular feeding opening 511; the rectangular feeding opening 511 has a first short side, a first long side, a second short side, and a second long side connected in sequence; a material basket 1 is provided below the rectangular feeding opening 511 to receive the base plate placed at the rectangular feeding opening 511; the first gripper 52 is fixed on the horizontal support plate 51 and located on the first short side of the rectangular feeding opening 511; the first push drive 53 is fixed on the horizontal support plate 51 and connected to the first gripper 52; the second gripper 54 is fixed on the horizontal support plate 51 and located on the second short side of the rectangular feeding opening 511. The second pushing drive member 55 is fixed on the horizontal support plate 51 and connected to the second gripper member 54; the pushing and sorting assembly 56 is disposed on the first long side or the second long side of the rectangular discharge port 511; wherein, the second gripper member 54 and the first gripper member 52 are correspondingly disposed on both sides of the rectangular discharge port 511, and can clamp the two ends of the bottom plate between the second gripper member 54 and the first gripper member 52; the pushing and sorting assembly 56 pushes the bottom plate to limit the bottom plate to the side of the rectangular discharge port 511 away from the pushing and sorting assembly 56, so that the bottom plate is placed in the material basket 1 in the same position.

[0046] Specifically, by setting a first clamping claw 52 and a second clamping claw 54 on both sides of the rectangular feeding port 511 of the horizontal support plate 51 to clamp the two ends of the bottom plate, and using a pushing and sorting component 56 to push the bottom plate to limit the bottom plate to the side of the rectangular feeding port 511 away from the pushing and sorting component 56, so that the bottom plate is placed in the material basket 1 in the same position, it is possible to stack multiple bottom plates to ensure accurate positioning of the bottom plates when placing them in the material basket 1.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the push-and-organize component 56 includes:

[0048] The first guide drive member 561 is fixed on the side of the first gripper member 52 away from the rectangular discharge port 511 and is located on the top of the first gripper member 52.

[0049] The first toggle placement member 562 is connected to the first guide drive member 561 and is located on the side of the first gripper member 52 facing the second gripper member 54, and can reciprocate along the first guide drive member 561 between the first long side and the second long side.

[0050] The second guide drive member 563 is fixed on the side of the second gripper member 54 away from the rectangular discharge port 511 and is located on the top of the second gripper member 54.

[0051] The second toggle positioner 564 is connected to the second guide drive member 563 and is located on the side of the second gripper member 54 facing the first gripper member 52, and can reciprocate between the first long side and the second long side along the second guide drive member 563.

[0052] Specifically, the first actuating placement component 562, driven by the first guide drive component 561, can push and align the base plate at the first short side, and the second actuating placement component 564, driven by the second guide drive component 563, can push and align the base plate at the second short side.

[0053] Furthermore, the first guide drive member 561 includes a first drive screw and a first slider. The two ends of the first drive screw are supported on the top of the first gripper member 52. The first slider is threadedly connected to the first drive screw, and the first toggle placement member 562 is connected to the first slider.

[0054] The first slider rotates along the first slider thread, which in turn moves the first slider along the first slider thread. The first slider can move the first toggle placement component 562 along the first slider thread, thereby pushing and aligning the base plate at the first short side.

[0055] Furthermore, the second guide drive member 563 includes a second drive screw and a second slider. The two ends of the second drive screw are supported on the top of the second gripper member 54. The second slider is threadedly connected to the second drive screw, and the second toggle placement member 564 is connected to the second slider.

[0056] The rotation of the second slider thread causes the second slider to move along the second slider thread. The second slider can drive the second toggle placement component 564 to move along the second slider thread, thereby pushing and aligning the base plate at the second short side.

[0057] Furthermore, both the first toggle restoring member 562 and the second toggle restoring member 564 are inverted L-shaped. The inverted L-shaped structure facilitates the movement of the first toggle restoring member 562 on top of the first gripper member 52, and the movement of the second toggle restoring member 564 on top of the second gripper member 54.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the base plate feeding mechanism 5 further includes a through-beam photoelectric sensor 57, fixed to the bottom surface of the horizontal support plate 51. The through-beam photoelectric sensor 57 includes a transmitter 571 and a receiver 572, which are respectively disposed on the first long side and the second long side of the rectangular feeding port 511. The through-beam photoelectric sensor 57 can detect whether a base plate exists inside the rectangular feeding port 511. Based on whether a base plate exists inside the rectangular feeding port 511, the robotic arm can be effectively controlled to grasp and place a flat plate into the rectangular feeding port 511.

[0059] Furthermore, the bottom plate feeding mechanism 5 also includes a lifting mechanism 58, which is fixed to the bottom surface of the horizontal support plate 51; the material basket 1 passes through the rectangular feeding port 511, and the lifting mechanism 58 can control the horizontal support plate 51 to move up and down relative to the material basket 1.

[0060] The lifting mechanism 58 can control the bottom plate in the rectangular discharge port 511 to move up and down relative to the material basket 1, so that the bottom plate is stacked in the material basket 1.

[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the lifting mechanism 58 includes:

[0062] The bottom connecting frame 581 is connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal support plate 51;

[0063] The longitudinal drive 582 has its housing fixed to the bottom connecting frame 581, and its telescopic rod is connected to the equipment frame.

[0064] The lifting mechanism 58 is installed on the first and second short sides on both sides of the rectangular discharge port 511. The connection position of the lifting mechanism 58 can realize the smooth lifting and lowering of the horizontal support plate 51, keeping the bottom plate level between the second gripper 54 and the first gripper 52.

[0065] like Figure 5 As shown, the material basket 1 includes: a carrier support 11, which has a translation mechanism 13 on its top; a bottom plate limiting frame 12, which is slidably connected to the translation mechanism 13, and the bottom plate limiting frame 12 has a accommodating space for stacking bottom plates.

[0066] The bottom plate limiting frame 12 is slidably connected to the translation mechanism 13, which enables the bottom plate limiting frame 12 to extend into the rectangular feeding port 511. The bottom plate limiting frame 12 can also be adjusted horizontally to keep the bottom plate limiting frame 12 on the side of the rectangular feeding port 511 away from the pushing and sorting component 56, so as to receive the bottom plate pushed by the pushing and sorting component 56.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to enable the bottom plate limiting frame 12 of the material basket 1 to extend into the rectangular feeding port 511 and move up and down, the bottom plate feeding mechanism 5 is further provided with a lifting mechanism 59. The lifting mechanism 59 includes a cylinder mounting plate 591, which is vertically arranged; a lifting cylinder 592, which is mounted on the cylinder mounting plate 591; a lifting guide rail 593, which is mounted on the cylinder mounting plate 591 and parallel to the lifting cylinder 592; and a bottom support plate 594, which is connected to the lifting cylinder 592 and the lifting guide rail 593. The lifting cylinder 592 drives the bottom support plate 594 to move up and down along the lifting guide rail 593. The bottom support plate 594 is used to place the material basket 1 and can drive the material basket 1 to move up and down.

[0068] This application also provides a base plate feeding device, which includes the base plate feeding mechanism described above.

[0069] The bottom plate feeding mechanism and bottom plate feeding equipment provided in this application embodiment clamp the two ends of the bottom plate by setting a first clamping claw and a second clamping claw on both sides of the rectangular feeding port of the horizontal support plate, and using a pushing and sorting component to push the bottom plate to limit the bottom plate to the side of the rectangular feeding port away from the pushing and sorting component, so that the bottom plate is placed in the material basket in the same position. This can realize the stacking of multiple bottom plates when the bottom plates are aligned and placed in the material basket to ensure accurate alignment of the bottom plates.
