Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated material handling technology, specifically a Z-axis floating mechanism for material handling. Background Technology

[0002] The mid-frame of a mobile phone is a key part of its structure. It usually refers to the side frame of the phone, which plays a role in supporting and protecting the internal components. The design and materials of the mid-frame have an important impact on the durability, appearance and feel of the entire device. With the continuous advancement of smartphone design, the materials and designs of the mid-frame are also constantly innovating to meet the market's demand for thin, beautiful and high-performance phones. In the production of the mid-frame, tiny copper sheet components need to be welded.

[0003] Currently, when handling these small copper sheets, rigid mechanisms are typically used directly. However, without buffering during handling, the copper sheets may be damaged or scratched. Furthermore, high-precision placement is required during handling, which increases the difficulty of debugging and can easily lead to poor soldering of the copper sheets. Therefore, a Z-axis floating mechanism is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a Z-axis floating mechanism for material handling, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a Z-axis floating mechanism for material handling, comprising a mounting plate, a connecting plate on one side of the mounting plate, a slide rail fixing block at the bottom of the connecting plate, a limiting top plate at the top of the slide rail fixing block, a slide rail and a limiting bottom plate on one side of the slide rail fixing block, a Z-axis moving plate slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail via a slider, a material handling nozzle on the surface of the Z-axis moving plate, and a spring at the top of the Z-axis moving plate.

[0006] Optionally, the top of the spring is fixed to the limiting top plate by a fixing screw.

[0007] Optionally, a limiting screw passes through the surface of the limiting top plate.

[0008] Optionally, a limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the Z-axis moving plate.

[0009] Optionally, the size of the limiting groove is adapted to the size of the limiting base plate.

[0010] Optionally, the top of the material suction nozzle is provided with an air pipe connector.

[0011] This utility model provides a Z-axis floating mechanism for material handling, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This Z-axis floating mechanism for material handling uses springs to achieve elastic contact with the copper sheet, effectively preventing damage to the copper sheet due to excessive robot torque. Limit screws on the top plate control the spring compression distance, allowing operators to easily control the pressure. A sliding rail and slider design ensure the Z-axis moving plate, carrying the material-handling nozzle, moves only in the Z-axis direction during material handling, minimizing deviations in other directions and guaranteeing accurate material placement. This mechanism ensures precise contact between the product and the copper sheet, effectively preventing incomplete soldering of the copper sheet after welding due to fluctuations in the precision engraving dimensions.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a Z-axis floating mechanism for material handling, including a mounting plate 1, a connecting plate 2 on one side of the mounting plate 1, a slide rail fixing block 4 at the bottom of the connecting plate 2, a limiting top plate 3 at the top of the slide rail fixing block 4, and a limiting screw 12 penetrating the surface of the limiting top plate 3. In use, the operator can adjust the limiting screw 12 to control the pressure of the spring 10, thereby adjusting the height of the Z-axis moving plate 8.

[0019] A slide rail 5 and a limiting base plate 6 are provided on one side of the slide rail fixing block 4. A Z-axis moving plate 8 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail 5 via a slider 7. The slide rail 5 and slider 7 are designed to ensure the stability of the Z-axis moving plate 8 during vertical movement. A limiting groove 13 is provided at the bottom of the Z-axis moving plate 8, and the size of the limiting groove 13 is adapted to the size of the limiting base plate 6. The limiting top plate 3 and the limiting base plate 6 are provided to prevent the Z-axis moving plate 8 from moving too much vertically. A material picking nozzle 9 is provided on the surface of the Z-axis moving plate 8, and a material picking nozzle 9 is provided at the top. The air pipe connector 14 and the top of the Z-axis moving plate 8 are equipped with a spring 10. The spring 10 enables elastic contact with the copper sheet, effectively preventing damage to the copper sheet due to excessive robot torque. The top of the spring 10 is fixed to the limit plate 3 by a fixing screw 11, so that the Z-axis moving plate 8, along with the material picking nozzle 9, only moves in the Z-axis direction when picking up materials, effectively reducing offset in other directions and ensuring that the material is picked up and placed in place. This mechanism can ensure precise contact between the product and the copper sheet, effectively preventing the copper sheet from being poorly soldered after welding due to fluctuations in the precision engraving dimensions.

[0020] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0021] The mechanism is installed on the movable end of the robot by mounting plate 1, so that the robot drives the material pick-up nozzle 9 to pick up the copper sheet and move it to the copper sheet welding position;

[0022] Then, in conjunction with the spot welding machine, driven by the robot, the spring 10 is compressed, and the Z-axis moving plate 8 moves upward along the slide rail 5 in the Z direction. When the copper sheet is completely attached to the product and the welding is completed, the robot arm continues to lift upward in the Z direction. When the spring 10 rebounds, the Z-axis moving plate 8 resets and reaches the limit plate 6. The material pick-up nozzle 9 follows the robot and moves to the next station to continue picking up and placing materials.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
