After continuous research, design, and repeated prototype production and improvement, this utility model with real practical value was finally created.
[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a material rotation device, including a support frame 1, gripper units 2, a first motor 3, and a second motor 4. The support frame 1 provides support, and the gripper units 2 are used to grip the material, allowing the material to rotate along with the gripper units 2. The first motor 3 and the second motor 4 drive the gripper units 2 in different rows to rotate.
[0050] The support frame 1 includes a first mounting plate 11 and a second mounting plate 12 arranged in parallel. A first row of gripper units 2 are arranged at intervals on the first mounting plate 11, and a second row of gripper units 2 are arranged at intervals on the second mounting plate 12. The gripper units 2 are rotatably mounted on the support frame and adjacent gripper units 2 are arranged at intervals.
[0051] The first motor 3 drives all the gripper units 2 on the first mounting plate 11 to rotate synchronously via a set of synchronous belt assemblies, and the second motor 4 drives all the gripper units 2 on the second mounting plate 12 to rotate synchronously via another set of synchronous belt assemblies. The first motor 3 is electrically connected to the second motor 4, that is, the first motor 3 and the second motor 4 drive each other synchronously to make all the gripper units 2 rotate synchronously.
[0052] In this embodiment, the first motor 3 drives the first row of gripper units 2 to rotate, and each gripper unit 2 in the first row picks up one piece of material. The second motor 4 drives the second row of gripper units 2 to rotate, and each gripper unit 2 in the second row picks up one piece of material. Then, the first motor 3 and the second motor 4 drive synchronously, so that all gripper units 2 rotate synchronously, avoiding collisions between adjacent materials and allowing multiple materials to rotate synchronously to a suitable angle. The material rotation device in this embodiment can rotate at least two rows of materials to a suitable angle at one time, which can effectively improve production efficiency.
[0053] Optionally, the material rotation device further includes a support plate 5 and a lifting device 6 mounted on the support plate 5. The telescopic shaft of the lifting device 6 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1. A sliding column 101 is mounted on the support frame 1. The support plate 5 is provided with a sliding hole corresponding to the sliding column 101. The sliding column is parallel to the telescopic shaft of the lifting device 6 and the sliding column 101 passes through the sliding hole. The lifting device 6 can drive the support frame 1 to rise and fall, so that the material rotated to a suitable angle can be directly pressed onto the product below to complete the assembly. Preferably, the material rotation device further includes a conveyor line, and the support plate 5 is mounted on the top side of the conveyor line. The conveyor line transports the workpiece through a fixture, and then the lifting device 6 can drive the support frame 1 to rise and fall, so that the material can be directly pressed onto the product on the fixture to complete the assembly, thereby effectively saving material movement time and improving assembly efficiency.
[0054] Optionally, the gripper unit 2 includes a pneumatic gripper 21, a rotating shaft 22 fixedly connected to the pneumatic gripper 21, and a rotating sleeve 23 rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 22; a driven synchronous pulley is installed at one end of the rotating shaft 22 that extends out of the rotating sleeve 23, and the pneumatic gripper 21 is installed on the bottom end of the rotating shaft 22 away from the rotating sleeve 23; both the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 are provided with mounting holes, and the rotating sleeve 23 is installed in the mounting holes.
[0055] Specifically, both the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 are provided with a row of rotating mounting holes at intervals, and the rotating sleeve 23 is installed in the rotating mounting holes, so that the pneumatic gripper 21 can rotate around the center line of the corresponding rotating mounting hole. The first motor 3 or the second motor 4 drives the driven synchronous pulley to rotate through the synchronous belt, thereby rotating the rotating shaft 22, and finally driving the pneumatic gripper 21 to rotate. The first motor 3 and the second motor 4 can adjust the rotation angle of the gripper unit 2 by controlling the number of rotations of the output shaft.
[0056] Optionally, the pneumatic gripper 21 includes a first gripping arm 211 and a second gripping arm 212; the first gripping arm 211 and the second gripping arm 212 can approach each other to clamp a material. The pneumatic gripper 21 also includes a cylinder body for driving the first gripping arm 211 and the second gripping arm 212 to approach each other. A cushioning cotton layer 213 is provided on the first side of the first gripping arm 211 near the second gripping arm 212, and a cushioning cotton layer 213 is provided on the second side of the second gripping arm 212 near the first gripping arm 211. The cushioning cotton layer 213 can effectively prevent damage to the surface of the material. In addition, during the process of the lifting device 6 driving the support frame 1 to descend, the material will be pressed onto the product, and at this time, the cushioning cotton layer 213 can also prevent damage to the material during the pressing process.
[0057] Optionally, the first clamping arm 211 is provided with a through connecting hole 2101, and an embedded mounting groove is provided on the first side; the second clamping arm 212 is provided with a through connecting hole 2101, and an embedded mounting groove is provided on the second side. Specifically, the threaded connector can be screwed into the connecting hole 2101, so that a clamping part of another specification can be embedded in the mounting groove, thereby meeting the clamping needs of materials of different shapes.
[0058] Optionally, a detection component 7 for detecting the rotation angle of the gripper unit 2 is provided on the first mounting plate 11; the detection end of the detection component 7 is directly opposite a gripper unit 2, and a detection ring 8 is installed on the gripper unit 2 directly opposite to the detection component 7; the detection ring 8 includes an annular body 81 sleeved on the rotating shaft 22 and a sector-shaped body 82 connected to the annular body 81; a detection groove is formed at the detection end, and a detection head and a receiving head are respectively provided on opposite sides of the detection groove; when the sector-shaped body 82 enters the detection groove, the sector-shaped body 82 blocks the detection head and the receiving head.
[0059] Specifically, if the receiving head does not receive a signal from the detection head, it indicates that the sector 82 is blocking the detection head and the receiving head. This means the material has not rotated to the appropriate angle. Once the sector 82 has completely rotated through the detection slot, the gripper unit 2 stops rotating, indicating the material has rotated to the appropriate angle. It should be further noted that if the material needs to rotate 180 degrees, the sector angle of the sector 82 is 180°.
[0060] Optionally, both the first motor 3 and the second motor 4 are servo motors; both the output shafts of the first motor 3 and the second motor 4 are equipped with active synchronous pulleys. When the active synchronous pulley rotates, it can drive the passive synchronous pulley to rotate via the synchronous belt. It should be noted that the gripper units 2 in the same row are connected to the same synchronous belt.
[0061] Optionally, a floating joint is installed on the lifting shaft of the lifting device 6, and the lifting shaft is connected to the support frame 1 through the floating joint. The floating joint can reduce installation errors, maintain stable operation of the equipment, and extend the service life of the equipment.
