Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation, specifically to a multi-state streamline device. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly line production process, it is often necessary to transport products of different widths. Since the current assembly line design is often fixed in width, when transporting multiple products, it is necessary to arrange multiple people to place the products, or to arrange multiple assembly lines with robots to transport products of different widths. Therefore, it is necessary to add additional equipment and processes, which not only reduces production efficiency but also increases costs. Repeatedly changing production lines also affects quality and pass rate. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-state streamline to solve the problem of adjustable streamline width mentioned in the background art. To address this problem, this invention provides a device for a multi-state streamline, which includes a machine platform, a streamline, a material suction unit, and a product tray ejection device. The streamline is located in the center of the machine platform, and a sliding slider is installed on the streamline base. Width adjustment devices are installed on both sides of the streamline, which move according to different command actions, providing 16 width modes.

[0004] In addition, several small cylinders are installed on both sides of the streamlined design, which can drive push blocks to push the product tray to the center position.

[0005] Furthermore, the streamlined design includes a positioning device.

[0006] Furthermore, a material suction unit is installed above the flow line to pick up or lower the material; three fiber optic sensors are installed throughout the flow line to monitor the position of the product trays in real time; in actual production, when the flow line is at its widest point, the product trays are lowered to the bottom empty tray storage compartment; when it is in the middle position, the product trays can be transferred; and when it is at its narrowest point, it is used to transfer materials.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the mechanical action of this utility model is completed by the action of each cylinder, which solves the problem that the streamline width cannot be changed in the prior art. At the same time, it can automatically pick up and sort materials, and can automatically remove the product pallet from storage, thereby improving equipment utilization and production efficiency.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model:

[0019] Appendix Figure 1 This utility model is a multi-state streamline device, which mainly includes an equipment table 1, a streamline 2, a product tray ejection device 3, and a suction unit 4; wherein the equipment table 1 is the main board, and other components are installed on it, the streamline 2 is installed in the middle of the equipment table, the suction unit 4 is located above the streamline 2, and the product tray ejection device 3 is installed below the streamline 2.

[0020] The streamline 2 includes a streamline track 201, a width adjustment device 202, a positioning device 204, a slider 207, and a fixed base 208, wherein there can be multiple streamline tracks 201, width adjustment devices 202, positioning devices 204, and sliders 207.

[0021] Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 This is a 3D view of streamline 2, with the following specific structure:

[0022] Streamline 2 includes two streamline tracks 201, which are mounted on a fixed base 208. The fixed base 208 is mounted on the equipment platform 1.

[0023] The two streamlined tracks 201 are identically configured, each equipped with a pusher cylinder 205 and a product tray side guard plate 209. The pusher cylinder 205 can adjust the position of the product tray on the streamlined track.

[0024] Now attached Figure 2 The streamlined track on side A is described, outlining the process of achieving various states.

[0025] Each streamlined track 201 is equipped with a slider 207, which allows the streamlined track 201 to slide along the slider 207. The slider 207 is fixed to the mounting base 208.

[0026] The width adjustment device 202 includes a primary propulsion device 2021 and a secondary propulsion device 2022. The primary propulsion device 2021 and the secondary propulsion device 2022 are either pneumatic or electric cylinders. The secondary propulsion device 2022 is connected to the streamlined track 201. In this example, it is a pneumatic cylinder. The extension and retraction of the primary propulsion device 2011 can drive the movement of the secondary propulsion device 2022, thereby driving the movement of the streamlined track 201. The extension and retraction of the secondary propulsion device 2022 can directly drive the movement of the streamlined track 201. The primary propulsion device 2021 is equipped with two small guide posts 20211 to ensure the smooth and accurate movement of the secondary propulsion device 2022. The width adjustment device 202, through the actions of the primary propulsion device 2011 and the secondary propulsion device 2022, pushes the streamline on one side to move. Combined with the actions of different cylinders, the streamline on one side will have four width states:

[0027] 1. The narrowest point is when both the first-stage propulsion unit 2021 and the second-stage propulsion unit 2022 are fully extended; this is referred to as state 1.

[0028] 2. The width is at its maximum when both the first-stage propulsion unit 2021 and the second-stage propulsion unit 2022 are fully retracted; this is called state 2.

[0029] 3. When the first-stage propulsion device 2021 retracts, the second-stage propulsion device 2022 extends, and the width adjustment device 202 retracts, this is called state 3.

[0030] 4. When the first-stage propulsion device 2021 extends, the second-stage propulsion device 2022 retracts, and the width adjustment device 202 extends, this is called state 4.

[0031] The other streamline track 201 also has 4 width states, so the entire streamline can achieve 16 states to meet the needs of products with different widths.

[0032] A positioning device 204 is provided in the middle of the streamline 2. The positioning device 204 includes a stop cylinder 2041, a clamping cylinder 2042, and a guide fork 2043. The stop cylinder 2041 is equipped with a gripper 20411.

[0033] The stop cylinder 2041 is fixed on the stop clamp cylinder 2042. The extension and retraction of the stop cylinder 2042 drives the stop cylinder 2041 to move. The guide fork 2043 is installed near the stop cylinder 2041.

[0034] In this example, two positioning devices 204 are set up, one at the front and one at the back.

[0035] The guide fork 2043 and the side product pallet guard plate 209 enable the product pallets to fall smoothly and be stacked neatly during the use of the product pallet ejection device 3.

[0036] Appendix Figure 4 This is the product pallet ejection device 3, which includes a movable plate 300, a lifting module 301, a product pallet compartment 302, a mounting plate 303, a pusher screw 304, a movable plate guide shaft 305, a servo motor 306, and a pusher assembly 308.

[0037] The entire product pallet ejection device 3 is fixed to the back of the equipment platform 1 via a mounting plate 303. The product pallet compartment 302 is also fixed to the back of the equipment platform 1. The mounting plate 303 is equipped with a lifting module 301, which is responsible for dragging the product pallet 307 up or down. A servo motor 306 and a pusher screw 304 are mounted on the mounting plate 303. The servo motor 306 drives the pusher screw 304 to rotate via a belt. The rotation of the pusher screw 304 drives the movable plate 300 to move. Four movable plate guide shafts 305 are fixed to the 00. The other end of the movable plate guide shafts 305 is fixed to the push plate 309 and the push plate assembly 308. When the movable plate 300 moves, the push plate 309 and the push plate assembly 308 are also driven, which can push the product pallet into the product pallet compartment. The movable plate guide shafts 305 can ensure that its movement is smooth and accurate. The product pallet can be received by the product pallet 307 and temporarily stored by stacking them in sequence. When a certain number are accumulated, they will be pushed by the movable plate 300 to the product pallet compartment 302 for recycling.

[0038] Appendix Figure 5 It is a suction unit, including a suction cup bracket 410; a suction nozzle 412; upper and lower cylinders 411; and a cylinder base 413. The suction cup bracket 410 is used to fix the suction nozzle 412, and the number and position of the suction nozzles can be adjusted according to the needs, so as to meet the position requirements of different products and different product trays.

[0039] Operating steps:

[0040] S1. When the equipment is started, the two flow track 201 of the flow line 2 are in state 3. The product tray containing the product enters the flow line 2. The push block cylinder 205 pushes the product tray to the center position of the flow line 2. The stop cylinder 2041 rises and the clamping cylinder 2042 extends or retracts, driving the stop cylinder 2041 to move, so that the two stop cylinders 2041 clamp the product tray.

[0041] S2. The upper and lower cylinders 411 on the suction unit 4 descend, driving the suction cup bracket 410 to descend, and the suction nozzle 412 descends to suck up the material in the product tray.

[0042] S3. The lifting module 301 drives the product tray 307 to rise. At this time, the control system controls the width adjustment device 202 to adjust the state of the two flow track 201 of the flow line 2 to state 2. Then the lifting module 301 drives the product tray 307 to descend to a safe position, waiting to lift the next empty product tray.

[0043] S4. When the product pallets accumulate to a certain number, the product pallets 307 descend to the bottom, are removed by the unloading group 308 and enter the product pallet storage 302, and are then taken out by the operator;

[0044] S5. After the product tray 307 rises to lift the empty product tray and descends to a safe position, the flow line 2 changes to state 1 and the narrowest state. The suction unit 4 descends and places the suctioned material on the flow line 2. The flow line 2 rotates and is sent to the next process. The state of the flow line 2 returns to state 3 and waits for the next cycle.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely one implementation of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
