Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrode cap production technology, specifically to a handling module for an electrode cap production line. Background Technology

[0002] Electrode caps are a type of welding electrode used in resistance welding equipment, such as stationary spot welding machines, suspended spot welding machines, and robotic spot welding machines. They are called electrode caps because they are fitted onto the electrode connecting rod. The material is mostly chromium-zirconium copper, but some are made of dispersed copper. After a certain number of welding cycles (generally 1000-1200 points), they need to be ground or replaced due to wear, making them consumable welding parts.

[0003] The production process of electrode caps involves multiple operations such as cutting, forging, and rolling. Each operation requires different processing equipment, and a handling module is needed to transfer the products between these processing equipment. This is usually done manually, which is inefficient and can easily damage the products. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a handling module for electrode cap production line. It has a simple structure and can realize the handling operation of different carriers by using the cooperation of main suction cup and auxiliary suction cup. It is also compatible with different production lines. Furthermore, the cooperation of main sensing module and auxiliary sensing module can also monitor the distance between handling module and carrier in real time during the handling and adsorption process so as to adjust the parameters of the external negative pressure adsorption device. It has good performance.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a handling module for an electrode cap production line, including a main positioning plate, a main mounting plate at the bottom of the main positioning plate, four auxiliary mounting plates extending around the main positioning plate, main suction cups with identical structures spaced around the main mounting plate, and a main sensing module at the center position; each of the auxiliary mounting plates is provided with a lifting cylinder, and a lifting plate is provided at the output end of the lifting cylinder, with auxiliary suction cups and auxiliary sensing modules provided on the lifting plates.

[0006] Furthermore, the main positioning plate is provided with two symmetrical connecting plates, a fixing plate is provided at the end of the connecting plates, and a reinforcing shaft is provided between the connecting plates.

[0007] Furthermore, a control component is provided on the connecting plate near the main positioning plate.

[0008] Furthermore, both the main positioning plate and the main mounting plate have a cross-shaped structure, and four main suction cups are respectively installed around the main mounting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a side plate is provided at the bottom center of the main positioning plate, and a sensor switch corresponding to the main sensing module is provided on the side plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a sensor switch is provided on the lifting plate at the position corresponding to the auxiliary sensing module.

[0011] Furthermore, both the main mounting plate and the auxiliary mounting plate are provided with elongated holes for fixing the position of the workpiece.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When using this device, the entire handling module is installed on the moving module. The moving module drives the handling module to move within a certain range. The adsorption component process is as follows: First, the main suction cup contacts the carrier. Then, the position of the auxiliary suction cup is controlled as needed. The lifting cylinder drives the lifting plate to move up and down to adjust the position. After the position of the auxiliary suction cup is adjusted, the external negative pressure device adsorbs the entire carrier. Then, the moving module is used for movement and handling. The central main sensing module and the outer auxiliary sensing module can sense the position of the bottom carrier in real time to adjust the adsorption scheme and the parameters of the negative pressure device. That is, the cooperation of the main suction cup and the auxiliary suction cup can realize the handling operation of different carriers and adapt to different production lines. Furthermore, the cooperation of the main sensing module and the auxiliary sensing module can also monitor the distance between the handling module and the carrier in real time during the handling and adsorption process to adjust the parameters of the outer negative pressure adsorption device. The effect is good. Attached Figure Description

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0018] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0019] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0021] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

The lifting cylinder 6 drives the lifting plate 7 to move up and down to adjust the position. After the position of the auxiliary suction cup 8 is adjusted, the external negative pressure device adsorbs the entire carrier. Then, the mobile module is used for movement and handling. The central main sensing module 5 and the outer auxiliary sensing module 9 can sense the position of the bottom carrier in real time to adjust the adsorption scheme and the parameters of the negative pressure device.
