[0011] Furthermore, multiple suction cup groups are set on the rotating plate, each group consisting of four suction cups, and each suction cup is connected to the drive cylinder via a buffer spring.
[0012] Furthermore, the material handling mechanism also includes a top-separating assembly, which comprises a top-separating seat and a top-separating rod. The top-separating seat is disposed at the bottom of the rotating plate, and the top-separating rod is disposed on the top-separating seat to separate the stacked bottom shells. When the suction cup is not picking up the bottom shell, the lower end of the top-separating rod is higher than the suction cup.
[0013] Furthermore, a positioning component is provided on the feeding plate.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: By setting up a feeding platform, when the bottom shells on the feeding plate are completely sucked up, the feeding platform moves in the opposite direction along the X-axis, moving it away from the picking station. This facilitates stacking multiple bottom shells on the feeding plate. Then, the feeding platform moves in the positive direction along the X-axis to the picking station, allowing the picking mechanism to pick up the bottom shells and complete the feeding process. By setting up a first feeding platform and a second feeding platform, when the bottom shells on the first feeding platform are completely sucked up, the picking mechanism picks up the bottom shells from the second feeding platform while replenishing the first feeding platform. Similarly, when the bottom shells on the second feeding platform are completely sucked up, the picking mechanism picks up the bottom shells from the first feeding platform while replenishing the second feeding platform. This ensures continuous picking up of bottom shells by the picking mechanism, resulting in high picking efficiency. However, in some situations where the space is limited, the reserved space for the bottom shell device is narrow. Therefore, this application sets up a first feeding plate and a second feeding plate. The sum of the widths of the first feeding plate and the second feeding plate is less than the length of the first feeding plate. Both the first feeding plate and the second feeding plate are provided with a row of bottom shells along the X-axis. For example, a row of bottom shells includes three sets of bottom shells, and each set of bottom shells is stacked with one hundred shells. When the picking mechanism picks up multiple bottom shells at once, the picking mechanism rotates ninety degrees to realize the inverted placement of each bottom shell on each core material on the conveyor line.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the present invention provides an upper bottom shell device, comprising a material picking frame 1, a material picking mechanism 2, and a material dispensing mechanism 3. The material picking mechanism 2 is movably mounted on the material picking frame 1 along the X, Y, and Z axes, and is rotatably mounted on the material picking frame 1. The material dispensing mechanism 3 is located on one side of the material picking frame 1 and includes a guide rail 31, a dispensing platform 32, and a dispensing plate 33. The dispensing platform 32 includes a first dispensing platform 321 and a second dispensing platform 322. 2. The first feeding platform 321 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 31 along the X-axis direction, and the second feeding platform 322 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 31 along the X-axis direction. The feeding plate 33 includes a first feeding plate 331 and a second feeding plate 332. The first feeding plate 331 is mounted on the first feeding platform 321 and can move to below the picking mechanism 2. The second feeding plate 332 is mounted on the second feeding platform 322 and can move to below the picking mechanism 2.
[0030] Thus, the bottom shell device of this utility model, by setting up a feeding platform 32, when the bottom shells on the feeding plate 33 are all picked up, the feeding platform 32 moves in the opposite direction along the X-axis, so that the feeding platform 32 is away from the picking station, thereby facilitating the stacking of multiple bottom shells on the feeding plate 33. Then the feeding platform 32 moves in the positive direction along the X-axis, so that the feeding platform 32 moves to the picking station, so that the picking mechanism 2 can pick up the bottom shells and complete the feeding of the bottom shells. By setting up a first feeding platform 321 and a second feeding platform 322, when the bottom shell on the first feeding platform 321 is completely removed, the material-retrieving mechanism 2 retrieves the bottom shell from the second feeding platform 322, while simultaneously replenishing the bottom shell on the first feeding platform 321. Similarly, when the bottom shell on the second feeding platform 322 is completely removed, the material-retrieving mechanism 2 retrieves the bottom shell from the first feeding platform 321, while simultaneously replenishing the bottom shell on the second feeding platform 322. This ensures that the material-retrieving mechanism 2 continuously retrieves the bottom shell, resulting in high material-retrieving efficiency. However, in situations with limited space, the space reserved for the bottom shell device is relatively narrow. Therefore, this application sets up a first feeding plate 331 and a second feeding plate 332. The sum of the widths of the first feeding plate 331 and the second feeding plate 332 is less than the length of the first feeding plate 331. The first feeding plate 331 and the second feeding plate 332 are each provided with a row of bottom shells along the X-axis direction. For example, a row of bottom shells includes three sets of bottom shells, and each set of bottom shells is stacked with one hundred. When the picking mechanism 2 picks up multiple bottom shells at once, the picking mechanism 2 rotates ninety degrees to realize that each bottom shell is inverted on each core material on the conveyor line.
[0031] Optionally, the material handling rack 1 includes a column 11, a first crossbeam 12, a second crossbeam 13, a mounting plate 14, and a vertical mounting base 15. The first crossbeam 12 is fixed to the column 11. The second crossbeam 13 is movably mounted on the first crossbeam 12 along the X-axis. The mounting plate 14 is movably mounted on the second crossbeam 13 along the Y-axis. The vertical mounting base 15 is movably mounted on the mounting plate 14 along the Z-axis. When the material handling mechanism 2 needs to move, the second crossbeam 13 moves to move the material handling mechanism 2 along the X-axis, the mounting plate 14 moves to move the material handling mechanism 2 along the Y-axis, and the vertical mounting base 15 moves to move the material handling mechanism 2 along the Z-axis. This allows the material handling mechanism 2 to be movably mounted on the material handling rack 1 along the X, Y, and Z axes, facilitating the picking up of the bottom shells at different positions on the first and second feeding plates 331 and 332.
[0032] In this embodiment, a rotating mechanism 16 is provided on the vertical mounting base 15. The rotating mechanism 16 is connected to the material picking mechanism 2 and drives the material picking mechanism 2 to rotate. By providing the rotating mechanism 16, after the material picking mechanism 2 picks up the bottom shell, the rotating mechanism 16 drives the material picking mechanism 2 to rotate 90 degrees, thereby facilitating the material picking mechanism 2 to invert the bottom shell onto the core material of the conveyor line. The rotating mechanism 16 is a rotary motor.
[0033] Specifically, the material handling mechanism 2 includes a rotating plate 21 and a suction cup 22. The rotating plate 21 is connected to and driven to rotate by the rotating mechanism 16, and the suction cup 22 is disposed on the rotating plate 21. When picking up the bottom shell, the suction cup 22 rests against the bottom shell, and the suction cup 22 generates negative pressure to pick up the bottom shell.
[0034] Furthermore, the material handling mechanism 2 also includes a slide rail 23, a slider 24, a suction cup mounting base 25, a locking element 26, and a suction cup drive cylinder 27. The slide rail 23 is located at the bottom of the rotating plate 21. The slider 24 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 23. The suction cup mounting base 25 is mounted on the slider 24. The locking element 26 is rotatably mounted on the suction cup mounting base 25, and its end can abut against the rotating plate 21. The suction cup drive cylinder 27 is mounted on the suction cup mounting base 25 and is connected to the suction cup 22, driving it to rise and fall. Different specifications of bottom shells have different lengths and widths. When picking up the bottom shell, the specific position of the suction cup 22 can be adjusted appropriately according to the width and length of the bottom shell so that the suction cup 22 can firmly grip the bottom shell. After adjusting the suction cup 22 to the appropriate position, the locking element 26 is operated to fix the suction cup 22 and prevent displacement.
[0035] The rotating plate 21 is equipped with multiple suction cup groups, each suction cup group includes four suction cups 22, and each suction cup 22 is connected to the drive cylinder 27 through a buffer spring. For example, if three suction cup groups are set on a rotating plate 21, each suction cup group clamps a bottom shell, thereby achieving the simultaneous clamping of three bottom shells.
[0036] The material handling mechanism 2 further includes a top-separating component 28, which includes a top-separating seat 281 and a top-separating rod 282. The top-separating seat 281 is disposed at the bottom of the rotating plate 21, and the top-separating rod 282 is disposed on the top-separating seat 281 to separate the stacked bottom shells. When the suction cup 22 is not picking up the bottom shell, the lower end of the top-separating rod 281 is higher than the suction cup 22.
[0037] When suctioning the bottom shell, since multiple bottom shells are stacked one on top of another, suctioning the outermost bottom shell may cause the next bottom shell to be lifted up. To solve this problem, this application provides a top-separating component 28, which is located between four suction cups in a suction cup group. When suctioning the outermost bottom shell, the suction cup drive cylinder 27 drives the four suction cups 22 to descend, so that the suction cups 22 first abut against the bottom shell. Then the suction cups 22 continue to descend, so that the end of the top-separating rod 282 abuts against the middle of the bottom shell. Then the suction cup drive cylinder 27 drives the suction cups to rise. Since the middle of the bottom shell is held in place by the top-separating rod 282, the upper bottom shell is easily separated from the lower bottom shell. Finally, the suction cups 22 continue to rise, so that the top-separating rod 282 disengages from the middle of the bottom shell, thus achieving the goal of suctioning only the outermost bottom shell.
[0038] In this embodiment, a positioning component 323 is provided on the feeding plate 33. Specifically, the positioning component 323 includes a static positioning mounting rod 3231, a first positioning block 3232, a movable positioning mounting rod 3233, and a second positioning block 3234. The static positioning mounting rod 3231 is fixed on the feeding plate 33. The first positioning block 3232 is movably mounted on the static positioning mounting rod 3231. The movable positioning mounting rod 3233 is movably mounted on the feeding plate 33 and is parallel to the static positioning mounting rod 3231. The second positioning block 3234 is movably mounted on the movable positioning mounting rod 3233. By setting the positioning component 323, the bottom shells of different specifications are limited, preventing the lower bottom shell from shifting when the surface bottom shell is sucked up. In specific positioning, by moving the movable positioning mounting rod 3233, the second positioning block 3234 abuts against one side of the bottom shell, while the static positioning mounting rod 3231 abuts against the other side of the bottom shell. At the same time, since the first positioning block 3232 is movably mounted on the static positioning mounting rod 3231 and the second positioning block 3234 is movably mounted on the movable positioning mounting rod 3233, two of each of the first positioning block 3232 and the second positioning block 3234 are provided in a set of bottom shells, so that the four positioning blocks abut against the four corners of the bottom shell, thereby limiting the position of the bottom shell.
[0039] Furthermore, a positioning slide rail 3235 is provided on the feeding plate 33, and a positioning slider 3236 is slidably mounted on the positioning slide rail 3235. The positioning slider 3236 is connected to the movable positioning mounting rod 3233, and a clamping member 3237 is provided on the positioning slider 3236 to press the positioning slider 3236 against the positioning slide rail 3235. By setting the positioning slide rail 3235 and the positioning slider 3236, it is easy to move the movable positioning mounting rod 3233, so that the second positioning block 3234 abuts against the side of the bottom shell. After the movable positioning mounting rod 3233 moves to the appropriate position, the clamping member 3237 is operated to press the clamping member 3237 against the side of the positioning slide rail 3235, thereby locking the positioning slider 3236.
[0040] To further ensure that the suction cup picks up only one bottom shell at a time, a first brush assembly 41 and a second brush assembly 42 are also included. The first brush assembly 41 includes a first brush seat 411 and a brush cylinder 412. The first brush seat 411 is mounted on the feeding plate 33 or on the static positioning mounting rod 3231. The brush cylinder 412 is rotatably mounted on the first brush seat 411 and is located directly above one side of the bottom shell. The second brush assembly 42 includes a second brush seat 421 and a brush block 422. The second brush seat 421 is mounted on the dynamic positioning mounting rod 3233, and the brush block 322 is mounted on the second brush seat 321 and is located directly above the other side of the bottom shell. The first brush seat 411 may be equipped with a motor to drive the brush cylinder 412 to rotate.
[0041] When the suction cup picks up the top bottom shell, if the next bottom shell is lifted up, the top bottom shell and the next bottom shell pass through the brush block 322 and the brush cylinder 412 on both sides respectively. The brush block 322 and the brush cylinder 412 have multiple brushes, thereby causing the next bottom shell to detach from the top bottom shell.
[0042] In this embodiment, the bottom of the feeding platform 32 is provided with traveling wheels that move along the guide rail 31. By providing traveling wheels, the feeding platform 32 can move more stably.
[0043] Specifically, a traveling mechanism 324 for moving the feeding platform 32 is provided at the bottom of the feeding platform 32. The traveling mechanism 324 includes a traveling motor 3241, gears, a traveling base 3242, and a rack 3243. The traveling motor 3241 is located at the bottom of the feeding platform 32. The gear is connected to the traveling motor 3241 and is driven to rotate by the traveling motor 3241. The rack 3243 is fixed on the traveling base 3242 and meshes with the gear. The traveling base 3242 can be fixed to the ground, and the guide rail 31 can also be fixed to the ground. When the feeding platform 32 needs to move, the traveling motor 3241 drives the gear to rotate. Since the rack 3243 meshes with the gear, it drives the traveling wheels of the feeding platform 32 to move stably along the guide rail 31.
[0044] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
