Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of jig support equipment, specifically relating to a transition tooling based on end cap jig transfer. Background Technology
[0002] A circular jig support device is a piece of equipment used for manufacturing or repairing circular jigs. It accurately places the circular jig on the machine to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the manufacturing or repair process. Circular jig support devices typically feature high-precision positioning systems, automated control systems, and safety protection devices, and can meet the needs of different industries and production scales.
[0003] Furthermore, round jig parts are difficult to stack due to their circular shape, and specialized equipment is usually required for transportation. 1. Forklifts: Can be used to handle and transport various types of end caps, including metal, plastic, and rubber end caps; 2. Cranes: Can be used to handle and transport large end caps; 3. Conveyor belts: Can be used for end cap transfer on the production line, transporting end caps from one location to another; 4. Roller conveyors: Can be used to transfer small end caps from one location to another; 5. Manual pallet trolleys: Can be used manually to handle and transport small end caps, suitable for use on the production line. While the above methods can handle round jig end caps, they do not significantly improve economic efficiency or transfer efficiency.
[0004] Chinese patent CN 113386163 B discloses a transfer device and method for a reducer end cover, comprising: a conveyor, a six-axis manipulator fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor, a suction part installed at the movable end of the six-axis manipulator, and a pressing part installed at the suction end of the suction part; wherein when the suction part stops, the six-axis manipulator can drive the pressing part to abut against the spherical surface of the workpiece and then extend and retract, so that the pressing part intermittently blows air onto the workpiece; after the pressing part is compressed to the point that the air outlet is blocked, the suction part can pick up the straight surface of the workpiece through the pressing part. However, with this structure, each time material is picked up, a suction cup is needed to individually adsorb each fixture part. If more fixture parts need to be adsorbed at one time, the projected area occupied by the suction cup needs to be increased to increase the number of transfers per time. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a transition tooling based on end cap fixture transfer, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A transition tooling based on end cap fixture transfer includes a support platform, a transfer mechanical mechanism, and a positioning mechanism.
[0008] The bearing platform includes a fixture bearing plate and positioning shafts. The upper surface of the fixture bearing plate is a planar structure. Multiple sets of positioning shafts are provided, and a gap is reserved between each pair of positioning shafts to form a bearing channel for the arc edge of the bearing end cover fixture.
[0009] The transfer mechanism includes a robotic arm and a suction cup. The suction cup is used to perform adsorption operations on the end cap fixture carried on the carrying platform, and then the robotic arm transfers the suction cup.
[0010] The positioning mechanism includes a lifting motion component, a horizontal motion mechanism, and a top block component. The lifting motion component enables the top block component to move in the vertical direction, and the horizontal motion mechanism enables the top block component to move in the horizontal direction. Multiple top block components are provided, and they simultaneously perform a pressing operation on the end position of the end cap fixture component located on the bearing channel.
[0011] Furthermore, a gap is formed between the lower end of the end cap fixture component carried on the bearing channel and the fixture bearing plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the fixture support plate is configured as a two-layer structure, with the positioning shaft located on the upper fixture support plate.
[0013] Furthermore, detection sensors are provided at both ends along the extension direction of the carrying channel.
[0014] Furthermore, the height of the top block assembly is lower than the horizontal height detected by the detection sensor in the horizontal direction, so that the detection sensor always detects the distance between the two ends of the upper cover fixture on the support platform.
[0015] Furthermore, the suction cup component is evenly distributed with multiple suction cup heads, making the lower end face of the suction cup head flush with the lower end face, and enabling each suction cup head to be adsorbed onto the end cap fixture component supported below.
[0016] Furthermore, the suction cup component is provided with a positioning nozzle, such that the bottom of the positioning nozzle is lower than the bottom surface of the suction cup component.
[0017] Furthermore, the front face of the top block assembly is set to be flush and is an independent detachable connection, forming a synchronous pressing operation on the end cap fixture located on the bearing channel.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1. The transfer mechanism and the carrying platform used in this device work together to realize the vertical placement of the end cap fixture. With the unit projected area remaining unchanged, the transfer mechanism can perform more adsorption and transfer operations on the end cap fixture in a single operation, thus improving the transfer efficiency.
[0020] 2. The positioning mechanism used in this device is located at the end of the carrying platform. It can press the end cover fixture along the extension direction of the carrying channel, so that each end cover fixture is located below the suction cup of the suction cup seat, so that it can be firmly removed during adsorption. At the same time, after the positioning mechanism is completed, it can be reset, which will not affect the feeding process. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a transition tooling based on end cap fixture transfer, including a carrying platform 1, a transfer mechanical mechanism 2, and a positioning mechanism 3.
[0032] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the support platform 1 includes a fixture support plate 11 and positioning shafts 12. The upper surface of the fixture support plate 11 is a planar structure. To meet height requirements, the fixture support plate 11 is configured as a two-layer structure, with the positioning shafts 12 located on the upper fixture support plate. Customized operation can be used to adjust the relative height. Multiple sets of positioning shafts 12 are provided, with a gap reserved between each pair of positioning shafts 12. This gap is used to form a support channel 121 for the arc edge of the end cap fixture (i.e., the end cap fixture is placed vertically with both end faces facing to the sides and the outer edge set vertically). Figure 8 As shown, concentric arc edges of the end cap fixture are located on adjacent sets of positioning shafts 12 along the bearing channel 121. A gap is formed between the lower end of the end cap fixture on the bearing channel 121 and the fixture bearing plate 11, so the lower end of the end cap fixture does not directly contact the fixture bearing plate 11. At the same time, detection sensors 122 are provided at both ends along the extension direction of the bearing channel 121. These detection sensors 122 are used to detect whether the end cap fixture on the bearing channel 121 is in place and the relative distance of its placement.
[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, the transfer mechanism 2 includes a robot arm 21 and a suction cup 22. The suction cup 22 is used to perform suction operations on the end cap fixture carried on the carrier platform 1, and then the robot arm 21 transfers the suction cup 22 as a whole. The suction cup 22 is provided with a positioning nozzle 23, so that the bottom of the positioning nozzle 23 is lower than the bottom surface of the suction cup 22.
[0034] Multiple suction heads 221 are evenly distributed on the suction cup component 22, making the lower end face of the suction head 221 flush with the lower end face of the suction head 221, and enabling each suction head 221 to be adsorbed with the end cap fixture component supported below (since the end cap fixture component is placed vertically at this time, the number of end cap fixture components adsorbed by the suction cup component 22 per unit projected area is greater, the transfer volume is greater, and therefore the effect is higher).
[0035] like Figure 7As shown, the positioning mechanism 3 includes a lifting motion component 31, a horizontal motion mechanism 32, and a top block component 33. The lifting motion component 31 enables the top block component 33 to move vertically, and the horizontal motion mechanism 32 enables the top block component 33 to move horizontally. Multiple top block components 33 are provided, with their front faces flush and independently detachable, forming a synchronous pressing operation on the end cap fixture component located on the bearing channel 121. Simultaneously, it presses the end position of the end cap fixture component carried on the bearing channel 121.
[0036] In practical use, the end cap fixture is placed in the area where the bearing channel 121 is located, so that the end face of the end cap fixture faces both sides. Then the positioning mechanism is lifted on the lifting motion component 31. When it reaches the end side where the end cap fixture is located, the end cap fixture is pressed along the extension direction of the bearing channel 121 under the action of the horizontal motion mechanism 32.
[0037] At this time, the height of the top block assembly 33 is lower than the horizontal height detected by the detection sensor 122 in the horizontal direction, so that the detection sensor 122 always detects the distance between the two ends of the end cover fixture on the bearing platform 1, without affecting the lifting height of the top block assembly 33 (the end contact area of the top block assembly 33 is smaller than the end contact area of the end cover fixture).
[0038] Then, the transfer mechanism 2 is activated again. The bottom of the positioning suction nozzle 23 is lower than the lower end face of the suction cup component 22. At this time, the positioning suction nozzle 23 first contacts the upper surface of the fixture support plate 11. Then, the suction head 221 of the suction cup component 22 slowly descends until it contacts the end cap fixture component and forms a negative pressure adsorption. Finally, under the action of the robot arm 21, it is slowly lifted, and the entire end cap fixture component placed on the support platform 1 is transported out.
[0039] 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. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
