Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handling devices, and in particular to an equidistant handling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of industrial automation, material handling and transmission are crucial aspects of the production process. Traditional material handling equipment often employs multiple drives to control the movement of materials in the horizontal and vertical directions. This design not only increases the complexity and cost of the equipment but also presents challenges in terms of control accuracy and synchronization.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional material handling equipment often falls short of the requirements for materials that need to be placed in a specific orientation. These devices typically only allow for simple gripping and placement of materials, without the ability to rotate or adjust their orientation. This limits the application scope of material handling equipment to some extent. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an equidistant transport device to solve the problem that existing transport devices require multiple drives, resulting in high costs.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: an equidistant conveying device, including a base plate, on which a conveying driver is provided. The conveying driver is configured as a single one, and the execution end is connected to a transmission component. Under the action of the transmission component, the conveying driver drives the material picking mechanism to move in the horizontal and vertical directions, circulating between the loading station and the unloading station.

[0006] The material handling mechanism includes a material handling base plate, on which multiple material handling devices are arranged in a straight line. Each material handling device includes a negative pressure generator and a suction cup. The suction cup is connected to the negative pressure generator via a connecting block. Some of the material handling devices are equipped with a rotary driver, which is connected to the suction cup and can drive the adsorbed material to rotate around the axis of the suction cup.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a guide plate, which is fixed on the base plate. The guide plate has a guide groove, and the two ends of the guide groove correspond to the loading station and the unloading station, respectively. The material picking base plate is provided with a guide wheel, which slides in the guide groove under the drive of the transport driver.

[0008] Preferably, the actuator of the transport driver is vertically fixed with a drive plate, and the drive plate has a sliding groove that abuts against the guide wheel.

[0009] Preferably, the guide groove is configured as an n-shaped structure, having vertical ends corresponding to the loading station and the unloading station respectively, and a horizontal end connecting the two vertical ends;

[0010] The substrate is provided with a first guide rail and a second guide rail, which are parallel to the horizontal end and the vertical end, respectively. The guide plate is slidably disposed on the second guide rail, and the second guide rail is slidably engaged with the first guide rail.

[0011] Preferably, the material handling device has a material handling block that is configured to conform to the shape of the material, the suction cup is embedded in the material handling block, and the bottom end of the material handling block has a receiving groove parallel to it.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] (1) By setting up a transmission component and a material handling mechanism, this invention enables the material handling mechanism to be driven in a cyclic motion in both the horizontal and vertical directions using only one conveying driver. This design not only simplifies the structure of the equipment and reduces manufacturing costs, but also effectively improves the operating efficiency and control accuracy of the equipment.

[0014] (2) The material handling mechanism of this application is equipped with two types of material handling devices, namely a basic material handling device with a negative pressure generator and a suction cup and a rotary material handling device with an additional rotary driver. This invention can meet the needs of handling materials of different shapes and sizes, and can rotate or adjust the posture of materials as needed, thereby greatly expanding the application range of the equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an equidistant conveying device includes a base plate 1. A conveying driver 2 is fixed to the back of the base plate 1. Only one conveying driver 2 is provided, and its actuating end penetrates through the base plate 1 and is connected to a transmission assembly 3 provided on the front of the base plate 1. The transmission assembly 3 is connected to a material picking mechanism 4. Under the action of the transmission assembly 3, the conveying driver 2 drives the material picking mechanism 4 to move in the horizontal and vertical directions, circulating between the loading station and the unloading station, thereby realizing the operation of conveying materials from the loading station to the unloading station.

[0023] The material handling mechanism 4 includes a material handling substrate 41, which is arranged horizontally, and a plurality of material handling devices 42 are arranged in a straight line on the material handling substrate 41. In this embodiment, as... Figure 4 As shown, the material handling device 42 is configured in two types: the first type includes a negative pressure generator 421 and a suction cup 422, and the second type additionally includes a rotary driver 424. For the first type of material handling device 42, the suction cup 422 is connected to the negative pressure generator 421 via a connecting block 423, and the material is adsorbed by the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure generator 421. For the second type of material handling device 42, the suction cup 422 is connected to the negative pressure generator 421 via the rotary driver 424, allowing the material adsorbed by the suction cup 422 to rotate around a vertical axis, enabling the material to fall into the unloading station in different postures.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly 3 includes a guide plate 31, which is fixed to the base plate 1, and a guide groove 32 is provided on the guide plate 31. In this embodiment, the guide groove 32 is configured as an n-shaped structure, with vertical ends 321 at both ends corresponding to the loading and unloading stations, and a horizontal end 322 in the middle connecting the two vertical ends 321. The execution end of the transport driver 2 is vertically fixed with a drive plate 21, and a sliding groove 22 is provided at the end of the drive plate 21 away from the transport driver 2. A guide wheel 43 is provided at the top of the picking base plate 41, and the guide wheel 43 slides in cooperation with both the sliding groove 22 and the guide groove 32. When the execution end of the transport driver 2 swings, the drive plate 21 can drive the guide wheel 43 to slide along one end of the guide groove 32 to the other end, thereby driving the picking device 42 from the loading station to the unloading station.

[0025] To ensure the stability of the material handling mechanism 4 during operation and prevent swaying around the axis of the guide wheel 43, a first guide rail 5 is fixed to the horizontal end 322 of the base plate 1. A first slider is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 5, and a second guide rail 6 is slidably connected to the first slider in the vertical direction. The second guide rail 6 is slidably engaged with the material handling base plate 41. The engagement of the first guide rail 5 and the second guide rail 6 restricts the swaying of the material handling base plate 41, ensuring that the material handling base plate 41 can only move in translational motion along the first guide rail 5 and the second guide rail 6.

[0026] In addition, in order to achieve more stable clamping of materials, the material handling device 42 is also provided with a material handling block 44 that is shaped to conform to the material. The suction cup 422 is embedded in the material handling block 44. The bottom end of the material handling block 44 is provided with a receiving groove 441, and a part of the material is embedded in the receiving groove 441.

[0027] During work:

[0028] The transport driver 2 drives the guide wheel 43 to slide to one end of the guide groove 32 corresponding to the loading station. The suction cup 422 in the picking device 42 picks up the material. Then the transport driver 2 drives the guide wheel 43 to slide to one end of the guide groove 32 corresponding to the unloading station. The suction cup 422 releases the material, thereby realizing the transport of the material from the loading station to the unloading station.
