Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parts loading, and in particular to an automatic loading and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process of the motor, the rotor needs to be cast. After the rotor is cast, it is all manually unloaded. The rotor is hot after it comes out of the furnace, which can easily cause burns to employees. There are some automatic feeding and unloading methods on the market that are separate, but the overall structure is more complicated, the cost is high and the space occupied is large. Utility Model Content

[0003] To further simplify the structure and reduce costs, this application provides an automatic loading and unloading device.

[0004] This application provides an automatic loading and unloading device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic loading and unloading device includes a robotic arm and a conveyor table. The robotic arm is disposed at one end of the conveyor table, which has a conveying section with opposite conveying directions. The robotic arm is equipped with a gripper for grasping.

[0006] Optionally, the feeder includes a feed rod, the middle of which is connected to the end of the robot arm. One end of the feed rod is the feeding end, and the other end is the unloading end.

[0007] Optionally, two feeding ends are arranged side by side, and each feeding end is provided with a first magnet block for picking up materials.

[0008] Optionally, the end face of the first magnet block is provided with an annular groove for engaging with the end face of the rotor.

[0009] Optionally, the feeding end is provided with a second magnet block, and the second magnet block has a concave surface for cooperating with the rotor sidewall.

[0010] Optionally, both the feeding end and the unloading end are elastically connected to the end of the picking rod.

[0011] Optionally, the robotic arm is a six-axis robotic arm.

[0012] Optionally, the robotic arm is equipped with a vision camera, which is used to determine the position of the material.

[0013] Optionally, it also includes a loading frame and a unloading frame, wherein the loading frame is located at the end of the conveyor table, the unloading frame is located on one side of the end of the conveyor table, and the robot is located between the loading frame and the unloading frame.

[0014] Optionally, it also includes a guardrail, which has an exit corresponding to the loading and unloading frames, and a sliding door that closes the exit is slidably connected to the guardrail.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. The material in the loading box is picked up by the robotic arm and loaded onto the conveying section of the conveying table. The conveying section transports the material to the casting equipment to complete the casting. After the casting is completed, the material is transported to the end of the conveying table by the conveying section. The robotic arm then picks up the cast material and places it into the unloading box. The same robotic arm completes the automatic loading and unloading of materials, which effectively simplifies the structure and reduces costs and space occupation.

[0017] 2. One end of the feeder is the loading end, and the other end is the unloading end. When the robot arm is in operation, after loading is completed at one end, it can rotate to unload at the other end, which effectively improves the efficiency of loading and unloading.

[0018] 3. The feeding and unloading ends use magnetism to attract materials, effectively reducing damage to the materials. Both ends are elastically connected to the picking rod, allowing for positional floating during the pressing of the product, transferring kinetic energy of the downward impact and providing a buffering effect to ensure no damage to the product or the end of the picking device. It is applicable to various products and has strong versatility. 4. The design of the annular groove and concave surface effectively increases the contact area during magnetic attraction, improving the attraction force. This prevents products from falling off during the rapid rotation and conveying process of the robotic arm, greatly improving product quality and production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3This application will be described in further detail.

[0025] An automatic loading and unloading device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a robotic arm 1 and a conveyor table 2. The robotic arm 1 is a six-axis robotic arm, and the conveyor table 2 is a plate chain conveyor. The conveyor table 2 is long and narrow, and has conveying sections with opposite conveying directions. The conveying sections include a first conveying section 3 and a second conveying section 4. The first conveying section 3 is used for feeding materials, and the second conveying section 4 is used for returning materials. A loading frame 5 is provided at one end of the conveyor table 2, and a unloading frame 6 is provided on one side of the same end. The robotic arm 1 is positioned between the loading frame 5 and the unloading frame 6. The loading frame 5 is used to place the materials to be processed, and the unloading frame 6 is used to place the processed materials. In actual use, the robotic arm 1 is used to grab the materials in the unloading frame 6 and move them to the first conveying section 3 of the conveyor table 2. The first conveying section 3 transports the materials to the end away from the robotic arm 1 for processing. The processed materials are then sent back to the end of the conveyor table 2 near the robotic arm 1 via the second conveying section 4, and are then transported to the unloading frame 6 for storage under the action of the robotic arm 1, realizing fully automatic loading and unloading of materials.

[0026] The robotic arm 1 picks up the material in the loading frame 5 and loads it onto the first conveying part 3 of the conveying platform 2. The first conveying part 3 then transports the material to the casting equipment to complete the casting. After the casting is completed, the material is transported back to the end of the conveying platform 2 via the second conveying part 4. The robotic arm 1 then picks up the cast material and places it into the unloading frame 6. The same robotic arm 1 completes the automatic loading and unloading of materials, which effectively simplifies the structure, reduces costs and space occupation, and allows the cast material to cool naturally during the conveying process on the conveying platform 2.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, protective railings 7 are provided around the robot arm 1, the loading frame 5, and the unloading frame 6. The protective railings 7 can play a good protective role and prevent personnel from approaching and causing safety hazards during operation. The protective railings 7 are provided with exits 8 at the corresponding positions of the loading frame 5 and the unloading frame 6, and the protective railings 7 are slidably connected to the movable doors 9 for closing the exits 8. In this way, when it is necessary to move the loading frame 5 and the unloading frame 6, it is only necessary to open the movable doors 9 and move them with a forklift, which facilitates the handling of the loading frame 5 and the unloading frame 6.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the robotic arm 1 is equipped with a material picker for gripping materials. The material picker includes a picking rod 10, the middle of which is connected to the end of the robotic arm 1. One end of the picking rod 10 is the loading end 11, and the other end is the unloading end 12. In this way, the robotic arm 1 can complete the unloading action simultaneously while loading materials, effectively improving the efficiency of automatic loading and unloading.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two parallel feeding ends 11 and one separate unloading end 12. A first magnet 13 for picking up material is provided on the feeding end 11, and a second magnet 14 for picking up material is provided on the unloading end 12. Both the first magnet 13 and the second magnet 14 are electromagnets. In this way, the material can be fixed by magnetic attraction during the material picking process, which effectively reduces damage to the surface of the material. Moreover, the simultaneous feeding of two and unloading of one material can be well matched with the rhythm of the casting equipment, so that the material can be automatically loaded and unloaded in an orderly manner, ultimately achieving the goal of improving production efficiency.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding end 11 and the unloading end 12 are both elastically connected to the end of the picking rod 10. When picking up and pressing down on the product, the position can float, and the kinetic energy of the downward impact can be transferred, which plays a certain buffering role, ensuring that the product and the end of the picking device are not damaged. It can be applied to a variety of products and has strong versatility.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, taking the rotor 18 of the motor as an example, the end face of the first magnet block 13 is provided with an annular groove 15 for cooperating with the end face of the rotor 18, and the second magnet block 14 is provided with a concave surface 16 for cooperating with the side wall of the rotor 18. When feeding, the feeding end 11 adsorbs the end face of the rotor 18, and when unloading, the unloading end 12 adsorbs the side wall of the rotor 18. Through the design of the annular groove 15 and the concave surface 16, the contact area during magnetic attraction is effectively increased, thereby improving the adsorption force. During the rapid rotation and conveying process of the robot arm 1, the product is not easy to fall off, which greatly improves product quality and production efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, a vision camera 17 is also installed on the robot arm 1. The vision camera 17 can detect the position of the material in the loading frame 5 and unloading frame 6 by taking visual pictures, so as to ensure that the robot arm 1 has better accuracy in grasping and placing the material each time.

[0033] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
