[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to a magnetic loading and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] During production in factory workshops, it is generally necessary to transfer raw materials, semi-finished products, or finished products. Large materials are usually transferred using overhead cranes, while small materials are usually transferred using transfer carts. The transfer process usually involves moving materials from one position to another, which is simply a horizontal movement between two positions. However, some materials need to be flipped during the transfer process. In the current technology, this is usually done manually, which results in low work efficiency and a high risk factor. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to solve the problem that the existing technology usually uses manual flipping, which leads to low work efficiency and high risk factor, a magnetic suction loading and unloading device is provided.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a magnetic loading and unloading device, comprising:

[0005] A material conveyor line on which the material has a first side and a second side that are arranged opposite to each other;

[0006] A transfer platform is used to receive materials from the incoming material conveyor line.

[0007] The first gripping robot arm moves back and forth along the material conveyor line toward the transfer platform and is used to grip the first face of the material.

[0008] The second gripping robot is located above the first gripping robot. It moves back and forth along the material conveyor line toward the transfer platform and is used to grip the second side of the material.

[0009] A flipping assembly is used to drive the first gripping robot to flip so that the material gripped by the first gripping robot is flipped to the second side so that it faces the second gripping robot for gripping.

[0010] Furthermore, both the first and second gripping manipulators include a main lifting drive mechanism, a mounting platform for mounting the main lifting drive mechanism, and a gripping mechanism connected to the output end of the main lifting drive mechanism. The gripping mechanism includes a magnetic suction element for picking up materials.

[0011] Furthermore, the gripping mechanism also includes a magnetic guide component surrounding the magnetic suction component, and a secondary lifting drive mechanism is provided between the magnetic guide component and the magnetic suction component.

[0012] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a flipping motor, a telescopic mechanism, and a support plate connected to the output end of the telescopic mechanism to support the flipped material.

[0013] Furthermore, a buffer mechanism is provided between the magnetic guide and the magnetic suction component, which includes a buffer rod and an elastic element sleeved on the buffer rod. One end of the buffer rod is fixed to the magnetic guide, and a transition plate is slidably installed on the other end. One end of the elastic element abuts against the magnetic guide and the other end abuts against the transition plate. The transition plate is connected to the output end of the auxiliary lifting drive mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the buffer mechanism has multiple components, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the magnetic conductor.

[0015] Furthermore, there are multiple transition plates and multiple auxiliary lifting drive mechanisms, and each of the multiple transition plates corresponds to one of the multiple auxiliary lifting drive mechanisms.

[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention. Therefore, they only show the components relevant to the present invention. Orientations and references (e.g., up, down, left, right, etc.) are only used to aid in the description of the features in the drawings. Therefore, the following specific embodiments are not intended to be restrictive, and the scope of the claimed subject matter is defined solely by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0036] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a magnetic loading and unloading device includes:

[0037] Material conveyor 1 is used to convey materials. The materials on it have a first surface and a second surface that are arranged opposite to each other. In this embodiment, the first surface is the upper surface of the material and the second surface is the lower surface of the material.

[0038] The transfer platform 2 is used to receive and transfer materials from the incoming material conveyor line 1. It can be a trolley. The transfer platform 2 is parallel to the tail of the incoming material conveyor line 1. Multiple limiting blocks protrude from the upper surface of the transfer platform 2. The multiple limiting blocks enclose a limiting cavity for limiting the material.

[0039] The first gripping robot 3 moves back and forth along the material conveyor line 1 toward the transfer platform 2 and is used to grip the first side of the material.

[0040] The second gripping robot 4 is located above the first gripping robot 3. It moves back and forth along the material conveyor line 1 toward the transfer platform 2 and is used to grip the second side of the material.

[0041] The flipping component 5 is used to drive the first gripping robot 3 to flip so that the material gripped by the first gripping robot 3 is flipped to the second side and facing the second gripping robot 4 for it to grip.

[0042] Material transfer mode: First, the incoming material conveyor 1 transports the material on it to its tail. The first gripping robot 3 descends from the initial position to above the material on the incoming material conveyor 1. The first gripping robot 3 grips the first side of the material and drives the material to move laterally to the transfer platform 2. The first gripping robot 3 rises and moves back to the initial position.

[0043] Material flipping mode: After the first gripping robot 3 grabs the material, the flipping component 5 drives the first gripping robot 3 to rotate 180° along the first direction. At this time, the second side of the material is above the first side. The second gripping robot 4 moves horizontally above the first gripping robot 3 and moves down to grab the second side of the material. At the same time, the first gripping robot 3 releases its grip on the material. Then the second gripping robot 4 drives the material to move upward. The flipping component 5 drives the first gripping robot 3 to rotate 180° along the second direction opposite to the first direction and moves horizontally to the initial position. The second gripping robot 4 places the grabbed material on the transfer platform 2.

[0044] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first gripping robot 3 includes a main lifting drive mechanism 301, a mounting platform 302 for mounting the main lifting drive mechanism 301, and a gripping mechanism connected to the output end of the main lifting drive mechanism 301. The gripping mechanism includes a magnetic suction component 303 for picking up materials. In this embodiment, the magnetic suction method is used to transfer materials. The main lifting drive mechanism 301 can be, but is not limited to, a screw and nut mechanism.

[0045] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, the gripping mechanism also includes a magnetic guide 304 surrounding the magnetic suction member 303. A secondary lifting drive mechanism 305 is provided between the magnetic guide 304 and the magnetic suction member 303. The secondary lifting drive mechanism 305 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder. There is a gap between the magnetic guide 304 and the magnetic suction member 303. The magnetic suction member 303 has a plate-like structure, and the magnetic guide 304 has a ring-like structure. The magnetic suction member 303 can be, but is not limited to, a permanent magnet.

[0046] First, the main lifting drive mechanism 301 drives the gripping mechanism to move downwards. When it reaches the vicinity of the material, the auxiliary lifting drive mechanism 305 drives the magnetic guide 304 to move downwards to adsorb the material. The magnetic suction component 303 does not directly contact the material to avoid damaging it. Then, the gripping robot arm moves upwards and moves the material horizontally to the top of the transfer platform 2. Next, the main lifting drive mechanism 301 drives the gripping mechanism to move downwards onto the transfer platform 2. Then, the main lifting drive mechanism 301 drives the gripping mechanism to move upwards, while the auxiliary lifting drive mechanism 305 drives the magnetic guide 304 to move downwards. The magnetic guide 304 and the magnetic suction component 303 gradually move away from each other, causing the magnetism of the magnetic guide 304 to disappear, thus losing its adsorption force on the product and achieving separation from the material.

[0047] In some examples, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the flipping assembly 5 includes a flipping motor 501, a telescopic mechanism 502, and a support plate connected to the output end of the telescopic mechanism 502 to support the flipped material. The flipping motor 501 moves horizontally synchronously with the first gripping robot 3. The telescopic mechanism 502 is fixedly installed. Preferably, there are two telescopic mechanisms 502 and two support plates, with each telescopic mechanism 502 corresponding to one of the two support plates. The two telescopic mechanisms 502 are located on both sides of the first gripping robot 3 along the direction perpendicular to the material conveying line 1 towards the transfer platform 2. The flipping motor 501 is located on one side of the first gripping robot 3 along the direction of the material conveying line 1 towards the transfer platform 2. The telescopic mechanism 502 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder or a telescopic rod. When the first gripping robot 3 moves horizontally, the telescopic mechanism 502 drives the support plate to retract to avoid interfering with the movement of the first gripping robot 3. When flipping, after the flipping motor 501 drives the first gripping robot 3 to rotate, the telescopic mechanism 502 drives the support plate to extend and support the flipped mounting platform 302.

[0048] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, a buffer mechanism is also provided between the magnetic conductive element 304 and the magnetic suction element 303. The buffer mechanism includes a buffer rod 306 and an elastic element 307 sleeved on the buffer rod 306. One end of the buffer rod 306 is fixed to the magnetic conductive element 304, and a transition plate 308 is slidably installed on the other end. One end of the elastic element 307 abuts against the magnetic conductive element 304, and the other end abuts against the transition plate 308. The transition plate 308 is connected to the output end of the auxiliary lifting drive mechanism 305. The buffer mechanism can provide a buffering effect when the magnetic conductive element 304 adsorbs materials, and prevent the magnetic conductive element 304 from making hard contact with the materials and crushing the materials.

[0049] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple buffer mechanisms, which are distributed circumferentially along the magnetic conductor 304, so as to provide uniform buffering and avoid uneven force on the material.

[0050] In some examples, such as Figure 7As shown, there are multiple transition plates 308 and multiple auxiliary lifting drive mechanisms 305, and the multiple transition plates 308 correspond one-to-one with the multiple auxiliary lifting drive mechanisms 305. That is, two adjacent transition plates 308 are separated to apply pressure evenly to the magnetic conductor 304.

[0051] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the loading and unloading device also includes a frame 6, on which a first track 7, a second track 8, a first drive mechanism for driving the first gripping robot 3 to reciprocate along the first track 7, and a second drive mechanism for driving the second gripping robot 4 to reciprocate along the second track 8 are installed. The first track 7 is located below the second track 8. Both the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism include a motor and a roller connected to the output end of the motor. The first track 7 and the second track 8 may be provided with racks that cooperate with the rollers.

[0052] Working principle:

[0053] Material transfer mode: First, the incoming material conveyor line 1 transports the material to its tail end. First, the main lifting drive mechanism 301 of the first gripping robot 3 drives the gripping mechanism to move down. When it reaches the vicinity of the material, the auxiliary lifting drive mechanism 305 drives the magnetic guide 304 to move down to attract the material. The magnetic suction component 303 does not directly contact the material to avoid damage to the product. Then, the gripping robot moves up and moves the material horizontally to the top of the transfer platform 2. Next, the main lifting drive mechanism 301 drives the gripping mechanism to move down onto the transfer platform 2. Then, the main lifting mechanism drives the gripping mechanism to move up, while the auxiliary lifting drive mechanism 305 drives the magnetic guide 304 to move down. The magnetic guide 304 and the magnetic suction component 303 gradually move away from each other, causing the magnetism of the magnetic guide 304 to disappear and lose its attraction to the material, thus achieving separation from the material. Finally, the first gripping robot 3 rises and moves to the initial position.

[0054] Material flipping mode: After the magnetic guide 304 on the first gripping robot 3 adsorbs the first side of the material, the flipping motor 501 drives the first gripping robot 3 to rotate 180° in the first direction. Then, the telescopic mechanism 502 drives the support plate to extend and support the flipped mounting platform 302. At this time, the second side of the material is above the first side. The second gripping robot 4 moves horizontally above the first gripping robot 3 and moves down to adsorb the second side of the material. At the same time, the first gripping robot 3 releases its grip on the material. Then, the second gripping robot 4 drives the material to move upward. The flipping component 5 drives the first gripping robot 3 to rotate 180° in the second direction opposite to the first direction and move laterally to the initial position. The second gripping robot 4 places the gripped material on the transfer platform 2.
