Detailed Implementation

[0026] This specific embodiment is an automatic lid-lowering system for iron lids, and its structural schematic diagram is shown below. Figures 1-10 As shown, the system includes a robot 1, on which a magnetic clamping fixture assembly is installed. Two clamping positioning mechanisms are respectively installed on both sides of the robot 1. Modified clamping plates 6 are installed on the clamping positioning mechanisms. Uniformly distributed integrated protrusions 24 are installed on the top of the modified clamping plates 6. Plastic pads 25 are installed on the top of the integrated protrusions 24. An installation platform 30 is installed on one side of the robot 1. A first linear guide rail 28 is installed on the top of the installation platform 30. A cover mechanism is installed on the first linear guide rail 28. A second linear guide rail 29 is installed on the top of the installation platform 30. A fixed-length material handling mechanism is installed on the second linear guide rail 29. Guide plates 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the installation platform 30 near the center.

[0027] The robot 1 in this technical solution is a relatively common device in the prior art. Its usage and installation methods are common knowledge in the field, so they will not be described in detail in this technical solution. The first linear guide rail 28 and the second linear guide rail 29 are common conveying devices on the market and are relatively mature technologies in the prior art, so they will not be described in detail in this technical solution.

[0028] like Figures 1-10 The magnetic clamping fixture assembly includes an L-shaped mounting bracket 2. Magnetic plate lifting cylinders 12 are symmetrically mounted on the top of the robot 1. The telescopic ends of the magnetic plate lifting cylinders 12 pass through the L-shaped mounting bracket 2 and are movably connected to it. Magnetic plates 8 are symmetrically mounted between the telescopic ends of the two magnetic plate lifting cylinders 12. Several magnets 13 are fixedly connected between the two magnetic plates 8. Demagnetizing side plates 9 are fixedly connected to the two side walls of the L-shaped mounting bracket 2. The two magnetic plates 8 are located within the two demagnetizing side plates 9. Clamping cylinders 10 are mounted on the opposite sides of the two demagnetizing side plates 9. A clamping upper plate 11 is fixedly connected between the telescopic ends of the two clamping cylinders 10.

[0029] like Figures 1-10 The pallet positioning mechanism includes a base plate 7, four pallet positioning cylinders 26 are installed on the top of the base plate 7, and a pallet positioning push plate 27 is installed between the extension ends of two pallet positioning cylinders 26 on the same side. The two pallet positioning push plates 27 are arranged in a V shape. The modified pallet 6 is located between the two pallet positioning push plates 27. Several forklift slots 23 are provided on the side wall of the modified pallet 6.

[0030] like Figures 1-10 The cover-supporting mechanism includes a fixed bracket 5, which is mounted on the first linear guide rail 28. A lifting cylinder 32 is mounted on one side of the fixed bracket 5. A positioning bracket 33 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 32. A guide rod 17 is symmetrically mounted on one side of the positioning bracket 33. A cover-supporting plate 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod 17. A compression spring 16 is installed between the cover-supporting plate 15 and the positioning bracket 33. A cover-supporting proximity switch 18 is mounted on one side of the positioning bracket 33. An arc-shaped positioning plate 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the first linear guide rail 28. A magnet compartment 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped positioning plate 31.

[0031] like Figures 1-10 The fixed-length material handling mechanism includes a mounting plate 4, which is mounted on the second linear guide rail 29. Fixed-length push plates 19 are symmetrically mounted on one side of the mounting plate 4. Mini cylinders 34 are symmetrically mounted on one side of one of the fixed-length push plates 19. Clamping plates 22 are fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the two mini cylinders 34 respectively. Two fixed-length proximity switches 21 are fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 4. Tension springs 20 are mounted on one side of the mounting plate 4.

[0032] Among them, the inner wall of the clamping upper plate 11 and the inner wall of one side of the L-shaped mounting bracket 2 are respectively fixedly connected with rubber protective pads 35. The rubber protective pads 35 can prevent the clamping upper plate 11 from pinching and damaging the material.

[0033] Working principle: Using this technical solution, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the material enters between two guide plates 3 on the conveyor line. Under the action of the fixed-length material picking mechanism, the material is divided into a set length. The robot 1, together with the magnetic clamping fixture assembly, places the fixed-length material onto the modified pallet 6 until the material on the modified pallet 6 is completely placed. The modified pallet 6 is then positioned by the pallet positioning mechanism.

[0034] Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the L-shaped mounting bracket 2 approaches the material, the magnetic plate lifting cylinder 12 drives the magnetic plate 8 to move down. At this time, the material will be attracted to the magnetic plate 8. Then, the clamping cylinder 10 drives the clamping upper plate 11 to clamp the material from front to back. When placing the material, the clamping cylinder 10 and the clamping upper plate 11 open first, and the magnetic plate lifting cylinder 12 retracts to lift the magnetic plate 8. The material is limited by the demagnetizing side plate 9, so that the material is demagnetized and thus the material is removed from the clamp.

[0035] Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, on the conveyor line, the arc-shaped positioning plate 31 helps the material at the end to prevent it from falling over. The continuous conveying of the material squeezes the cover plate 15, causing the guide rod 17 to contact the cover proximity switch 18. The motor drives the cover mechanism to move backward until it reaches a certain length and pushes the fixed-length push plate 19 of the fixed-length material picking mechanism. The fixed-length proximity switch 21 senses the displacement of the fixed-length push plate 19 by a set distance, and the motor will drive the fixed-length material picking mechanism to move backward as a whole until it reaches the material picking area of ​​the mobile robot 1.

[0036] Figure 7 As shown, due to the special nature of the magnetic clamping fixture assembly, the material needs to be clamped at the position of picking up and taking down the material. This results in the need to leave space at the bottom when the material is on the pallet. Therefore, a plastic pad 25 needs to be installed on the integrated convex plate 24 to prevent scratching the material. After the pallet with the material enters the designated area, it cannot be placed accurately by man. The pallet positioning cylinder 26 pushes the pallet positioning push plate 27 to position the pallet on both sides.

[0037] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0038] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
