[0023] This embodiment discloses a middle cover oiling device. Please refer to the schematic diagram of the middle cover in this embodiment. Figure 6 See also Figures 1-2The coating equipment includes a rectangular frame 1 and a feeding module, a coating module, a discharging module, and a control system connected to the frame 1. The material to be coated is carried by a carrier tray and fed to the coating module for coating treatment through the feeding module. The coated material is then discharged through the discharging module. In this embodiment, all actions are controlled by the control system, which can be a PLC control system. It can control multiple modules according to a predetermined program, enabling each module to start, stop, or perform other actions according to a preset process.

[0024] Specifically, the top surface of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform 11, and the mounting platform 11 is provided with an installation space below it. The mounting platform 11 has two hollowed-out positions 12 arranged side by side along the X direction.

[0025] The feeding module includes a tray feeding mechanism 2 and a material picking mechanism 3. The tray feeding mechanism 2 is used to feed a tray that is fully loaded with materials, and the material picking mechanism 3 is used to transfer the materials in the tray feeding mechanism 2 to the oiling module.

[0026] Combination Figure 2 The tray loading mechanism 2 includes a first Z-axis moving module 21 and a mounting frame 22 fixedly connected to the output end of the first Z-axis moving module 21. The first Z-axis moving module 21 is arranged in the installation space in a Z-direction, corresponding to one of the cutout positions 12, and is fixedly connected to the frame 1. Several trays filled with materials are stacked on the mounting frame 22, with the top trays extending from the cutout positions 12 for easy material retrieval by the material handling mechanism 3. The first Z-axis moving module 21 drives the mounting frame 22 to rise and fall, thereby realizing automatic tray loading.

[0027] The pallet loading mechanism 2 also includes a loading Y-axis moving module 23 located at a lower position in the installation space. The loading Y-axis moving module 23 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, with one end positioned corresponding to the first Z-axis moving module 21 and the other end extending to the side of the installation space. The loading Y-axis moving module 23 has two sets of parallel conveyor belts, the spacing of which matches the pallet, and the width of the mounting frame 22 is smaller than the spacing between the two conveyor belts. The first Z-axis moving module 21 is located between the two conveyor belts. In this embodiment, by setting up the loading Y-axis moving module 23, it is convenient for workers to load materials in batches next to the device. After loading, the pallet is automatically conveyed along the Y-axis to a position close to the first Z-axis moving module 21. Then, the first Z-axis moving module 21 drives the mounting frame 22 upward, thereby lifting the pallet.

[0028] The material handling mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform 11 and is arranged on the same side as the tray loading mechanism 2. It includes a first Y-axis moving module 31 fixedly connected to the mounting platform 11, a first X-axis moving module 32 connected to its output end, and a second Z-axis moving module 33 connected to the output end of the first X-axis moving module 32. The output end of the second Z-axis moving module 33 is connected to a mounting plate, through which a camera 34 and a material suction component 36 are connected. The camera 34 is used for visual positioning, and the material suction component 36 is used to pick up material from the tray of the tray loading mechanism 2. It is connected to the mounting plate via a third lifting cylinder 35, which can drive the material suction component 36 to move independently. Furthermore, the first X-axis moving module 32, the first Y-axis moving module 31, and the second Z-axis moving module 33 can drive the material suction component 36 and the camera 34 to move in the X, Y, and Z directions, allowing them to move flexibly between the tray loading mechanism 2 and the oiling module for material transfer.

[0029] Combination Figure 3 The oiling module includes an oil cylinder 4 and an oiling clamping assembly 5. The oil cylinder 4 is constructed as a small container capable of holding oil and is installed on the workbench. The oiling clamping assembly 5 is used to fix the material and immerse it in the oil cylinder 4. Specifically, the oil cylinder 4 is connected to the side of the mounting platform 11; the oiling clamping assembly 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting platform 11 and includes a first lifting cylinder 51 fixedly connected to the side of the mounting platform 11 by a fixing plate, and a rotary cylinder 52 fixedly connected to the output end of the first lifting cylinder 51. The rotary output end of the rotary cylinder 52 is connected to an adsorption plate 53. In this embodiment, the first lifting cylinder 51 is vertically arranged along the Z-direction and is used to drive the rotary cylinder 52 and the adsorption plate 53 to rise and fall. The adsorption plate 53 is provided with an adsorption hole group 531 for adsorbing materials. The adsorption hole group 531 has at least two groups of adsorption holes to enhance the adsorption strength. The number of adsorption hole groups 531 can be set to 2-3 groups to improve work efficiency. When it is necessary to connect with the material handling mechanism 3, the adsorption plate 53 is set horizontally, and the material suction component 36 of the material handling mechanism 3 places the material at the corresponding position of the adsorption hole group 531 of the adsorption plate 53. The adsorption hole group 531 adsorbs one end of the material. Then the adsorption plate 53 rotates 90° to be set vertically. At this time, the first lifting cylinder 51 drives the adsorption plate 53 to lift and lower, which can immerse the other end of the material in the oil cylinder 4.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the adsorption plate 53 is provided with a limiting protrusion 532 adapted to the groove on the back side of the material in the middle cover, and the adsorption hole group 531 is provided on the limiting protrusion 532. The limiting protrusion 532 can not only limit the material and prevent displacement during movement, but also prevent the material from falling into the oil cylinder 4 by blocking the limiting protrusion 532.

[0031] The unloading module includes a tray unloading mechanism 6 and a feeding mechanism 7. The tray unloading mechanism 6 is used to carry empty trays, and the feeding mechanism 7 is used to transport the oiled material to the empty tray. When the empty tray is full of material, the material is unloaded.

[0032] The tray unloading mechanism 6 corresponds to the position of another cutout 12. Its structure is the same as that of the tray loading mechanism 2, but its movement path is opposite. The feeding mechanism 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform 11. It is set on the same side as the tray unloading mechanism 6, and its structure is the same as that of the picking mechanism 3. It will not be described in detail here.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the unloading module further includes a transfer mechanism 9, combined with... Figure 4 The transfer mechanism 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform 11 and is located between the oiling module and the feeding mechanism 7. It includes two sets of platforms 91 fixedly connected to the mounting platform 11 along the X direction, and a transfer frame 93 that reciprocates along the X direction between the oil cylinder 4 and the platforms 91. In this embodiment, the platforms 91 are used to carry the oiled material. Their tops are provided with positioning protrusions 92 corresponding to the number of adsorption hole groups 531. The positioning protrusions 92 are adapted to the groove on the back side of the material in the middle cover for material positioning. The transfer frame 93 is located above the platforms 91 and is constructed in a U-shape. The distance between the two platforms 91 and the distance between the platform 91 near the oil cylinder 4 and the adsorption plate 53 are matched with the distance between the legs of the two transfer frames 93 in the U-shape. The two legs of the transfer frame 93 are respectively connected to suction heads for material adsorption. Furthermore, the transfer mechanism 9 also includes a third X-axis moving module 94 fixedly connected to the mounting platform 11 and a fourth lifting cylinder 95 connected to the output end of the third X-axis moving module 94. The transfer frame 93 is fixedly connected to the piston shaft end of the fourth lifting cylinder 95. During the process of one leg's suction head transferring material from the adsorption plate 53 to one of the platforms 91, the other leg's suction head simultaneously transfers material from that platform 91 to another platform 91. At the same time, the feeding mechanism 7 transfers the material from the other platform 91 to the tray of the tray unloading mechanism 6. By alternately transferring material between the adsorption plate 53 and the two platforms 91 using the transfer frame 93, the material transfer and conveying efficiency can be improved.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the oiling equipment further includes a tray transfer mechanism 8 for transferring empty trays between the tray loading mechanism 2 and the tray unloading mechanism 6. When the material in the tray of the tray of the tray loading mechanism 2 is sequentially transferred to the oiling module, the empty tray is picked up by the tray transfer mechanism 8 and conveyed to the tray unloading mechanism 6 to continue the material carrying after oiling.

[0035] See Figure 5Specifically, the tray transfer mechanism 8 includes a second X-axis moving module 81 fixedly connected to the mounting platform 11 and a gripper assembly 82 connected to the output end of the second X-axis moving module 81. The second X-axis moving module 81 controls the gripper assembly 82 to reciprocate between the tray loading mechanism 2 and the tray unloading mechanism 6. The gripper assembly 82 includes a support plate 821 connected to the output end of the second X-axis moving module 81 and a second lifting cylinder 822 fixedly connected to the end of the support plate 821. The piston shaft end of the second lifting cylinder 822 is fixedly connected to an X-shaped gripper frame 823, and each end of the gripper frame 823 is connected to a suction nozzle 824 for adsorbing the tray. It is understood that in other embodiments not shown, the gripper assembly 82 may also adopt a claw structure.

[0036] The oiling equipment provided in this embodiment can realize a series of fully automated operations, including feeding the material to be oiled, applying oil, and unloading the material after oiling. It can also realize automatic and continuous loading and unloading of the tray, reducing the time of frequent material replenishment and effectively improving work efficiency. On the other hand, by setting multiple adsorption holes in the oiling module and cooperating with the limiting protrusion 532 structure, this embodiment can strengthen the bonding strength with the material and prevent the material from falling into the oil cylinder 4.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
