Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of positioning devices, and in particular to a material posture adjustment and positioning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of mechanical manufacturing, material attitude adjustment and positioning technology is a crucial link in ensuring processing accuracy and production efficiency. The application of material attitude adjustment and positioning equipment has greatly improved the efficiency and accuracy of material handling in automated production processes, reduced manual intervention, lowered costs, and simultaneously enhanced production quality and production line flexibility. However, in practical applications, rapid and accurate attitude adjustment and positioning of materials of different shapes and sizes remains a significant challenge in this field.

[0003] Utility model patent publication number CN215787816U discloses a base plate positioning device for automatic welding of rail pads, mainly relating to the field of rail pad welding. It includes a positioning platform with a through hole, a lifting device below the platform, and two positioning pins on the lifting device that pass vertically through the through hole. The positioning platform has a positioning frame that contacts one corner of the base plate, and the positioning frame is detachably connected to the positioning platform. The positioning platform also has a telescopic rod that pushes the base plate to the positioning frame. The lifting device has an adjusting component for adjusting the distance between the two positioning pins. The advantages of this utility model are: it can adapt to the positioning of different types of pads, simplifies the number of devices, and ensures efficient and smooth welding operation. However, this positioning platform can only be used for positioning flat, plate-shaped materials. When it is necessary to flip or position materials that can be placed on multiple sides, it cannot guarantee accurate feeding, resulting in a limited applicability of the positioning device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a material posture adjustment and positioning mechanism to solve the problem that positioning devices cannot accurately feed different types of materials.

[0005] The material attitude adjustment and positioning mechanism provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A material attitude adjustment and positioning mechanism includes:

[0007] Base;

[0008] The flipping mechanism, located on the base, includes a rotary cylinder and a suction cup device. The rotary cylinder is connected to the suction cup device, and the rotary cylinder is used to drive the suction cup device to rotate. The suction cup device is used to adsorb materials.

[0009] The secondary positioning mechanism includes a positioning plate, a positioning edge, and a positioning device. The positioning plate is located on the base and is used to receive the material adsorbed by the suction cup device. The positioning edge is located on the positioning plate, and the positioning device is connected to the positioning plate and can move relative to the positioning edge to cooperate with the positioning edge for secondary positioning of the material.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, after the material is adsorbed and fixed by the suction cup, the material can rotate under the drive of the rotary cylinder following the suction cup device, thereby transporting the material to the secondary positioning mechanism at a suitable angle or direction. The positioning plate is equipped with a positioning edge and a positioning device. The positioning edge restricts the movement range of the material on the positioning plate, while the positioning device can push the material, thereby clamping the material between the positioning edge and the positioning device, which can play a secondary positioning role for the material, which is conducive to more accurate transportation and processing of the material in the subsequent process.

[0011] Optionally, the tilting mechanism also includes a rodless cylinder, which is connected to a rotary cylinder and used to drive the rodless cylinder to move up and down.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the rodless cylinder can drive the rotary cylinder to move up and down, thereby driving the adsorption plate to move up and down, improving the processing range of the flipping mechanism, and making it easier for the flipping mechanism to perform loading and unloading operations on the secondary positioning mechanism.

[0013] Optionally, the flipping mechanism also includes a vacuum generator, which is located on the base and connected to a suction cup device to provide vacuum adsorption for the suction cup device.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the vacuum generator is used to create a vacuum in the washing device, thereby enabling the suction cup device to firmly adsorb materials and improve the stability of feeding.

[0015] Optionally, the positioning plate has a rectangular structure, with the positioning edges located at the edges of two adjacent sides of the positioning plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning plate has a rectangular structure and positioning edges on two adjacent sides, enabling the positioning device to simultaneously fix the two sides without positioning edges at one corner of the rectangle without contacting the positioning edges, making the positioning operation more convenient and faster.

[0017] Optionally, the positioning device includes a positioning element, a positioning cylinder, and a positioning slide rail. The positioning cylinder and the positioning slide rail are located on the back of the positioning plate. The positioning element is connected to the positioning cylinder so that the positioning element moves along the positioning slide rail.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning component is used to cooperate with the positioning edge to adjust the position of the material. By moving the positioning component, the material is pushed by the positioning component and ultimately positioned by the positioning edge and the positioning component together, thereby achieving the positioning purpose. The positioning cylinder can drive the positioning component to move along the positioning slide rail, making the positioning process fast and stable.

[0019] Optionally, the positioning component includes two positioning rollers and a roller seat. The positioning rollers are all mounted on the roller seat and can rotate relative to the roller seat. The roller seat is connected to the positioning cylinder.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning wheel, as the pushing component of the positioning element, can offset the frictional force generated during the material pushing process by rotating, thereby making the material easier to push and avoiding wear on the material.

[0021] Optionally, the positioning plate is provided with a positioning groove, and the positioning component can be inserted into the positioning groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning groove is set so that the positioning component can be put into the positioning plate, forming a smaller positioning space. When the size of the material is smaller than the positioning plate, the positioning component can fix the material in the positioning plate, so that the positioning mechanism can be used for smaller materials.

[0023] Optionally, sensors are provided on the positioning edge.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the sensor is used to sense the position of the material on the positioning plate. When there is material on the positioning plate and secondary positioning is required, new material is prevented from entering the positioning plate.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. After the material is adsorbed and fixed by the suction cup, it can rotate under the drive of the rotary cylinder, thus transporting the material to the secondary positioning mechanism at a suitable angle or direction. The positioning plate is equipped with a positioning edge and a positioning device. The positioning edge restricts the movement range of the material on the positioning plate, while the positioning device can push the material, thereby clamping the material between the positioning edge and the positioning device, which can play a secondary positioning role for the material, which is conducive to more accurate transportation and processing of the material in the subsequent process.

[0027] 2. The positioning component works in conjunction with the positioning edge to adjust the position of the material. By moving the positioning component, the material is pushed by it and ultimately positioned by both the positioning edge and the positioning component, thus achieving the positioning purpose. The positioning cylinder can drive the positioning component to move along the positioning slide rail, making the positioning process fast and stable.

[0028] 3. As the pushing component of the positioning element, the positioning wheel can offset the frictional force generated during the material pushing process by rotating, making the material easier to push and avoiding wear on the material. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] A material attitude adjustment and positioning mechanism, referring to Figure 1 It includes a base 1, a flipping mechanism 2, and a secondary positioning mechanism 3. Both the flipping mechanism 2 and the secondary positioning mechanism 3 are mounted on the base 1. The flipping mechanism 2 is used to feed the secondary positioning mechanism 3. The flipping mechanism 2 can rotate the material and is applicable to different types of materials. After being rotated and adjusted, the material can be placed on the secondary positioning mechanism 3 in a suitable manner, so that the positioning mechanism can be applied to different types of materials and improve its applicability.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 The flipping mechanism 2 includes a rotary cylinder 21, a suction cup device 22, a rodless cylinder 23, and a vacuum generator 24. The rodless cylinder 23 is vertically mounted on the base plate, and the rotary cylinder 21 is mounted on top of it, allowing it to move up and down under the influence of the rodless cylinder 23. The rotary cylinder 21 is connected to the suction cup device 22, which can adsorb materials and transport them to the secondary positioning mechanism 3. The rotary cylinder 21 can rotate the suction cup device 22, allowing it to rotate materials to a suitable position even if they are not adsorbed in a way suitable for the secondary positioning mechanism 3. The vacuum generator 24 is mounted on the base plate and connected to the suction cup device 22, providing a vacuum negative pressure for the adsorption of materials by the suction cup device 22.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and 3 The secondary positioning mechanism 3 includes a positioning plate 31, positioning edges 32, and a positioning device 33. The positioning plate 31 is mounted on the base plate and has a rectangular structure. Positioning edges 32 are located on two adjacent sides of the positioning plate 31, and positioning grooves 311 are located at the corners of the positioning plate 31 that do not contact the positioning edges 32. The positioning device 33 is located within the positioning grooves 311. The positioning device 33 includes a positioning element 34, a positioning cylinder 35, and a positioning slide rail 36. The positioning cylinder 35 and the positioning slide rail 36 are both located on the back of the positioning plate 31. The positioning element 34 is mounted on and connected to the positioning slide rail 36, which drives the positioning element 34 to slide on it. The positioning component 34 includes positioning rollers 341 and roller seats 342. The roller seats 342 are connected to the positioning slide rail 36. Two positioning rollers 341 are mounted on the roller seats 342 and are positioned above the upper surface of the positioning plate 31. The two positioning rollers 341 are angled at both ends of the positioning groove 311. By pushing one corner of the material, the material is moved towards the positioning edge 32, thus clamping the material between the positioning edge 32 and the positioning rollers 341, achieving the purpose of positioning the material. During the material pushing process, the positioning rollers 341 can counteract the frictional force generated during the material pushing process by rotating, making the material easier to push and avoiding wear on the material. A sensor 321 is provided on the positioning edge 32 to sense whether there is material on the positioning plate 31. When the positioning plate 31 is performing secondary positioning, it prevents new material from entering the positioning plate 31, ensuring the normal operation of the positioning process.

[0037] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: After the material is adsorbed by the suction cup device 22, the material is rotated by the rotary cylinder 21 so that the material faces the positioning plate 31 at a suitable angle. The rodless cylinder 23 moves the rotary cylinder 21 so that the material is moved onto the positioning plate 31, the suction of the suction cup device 22 is released, and the material is placed on the positioning plate 31. The positioning cylinder 35 drives the positioning component 34 to move into the positioning plate 31. Under the action of the positioning wheel 341, the material is clamped between the positioning wheel 341 and the positioning edge 32, thereby realizing the secondary positioning of the material.

[0038] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
