[0056] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a dispensing buffer and stationary device, including a feeding conveyor belt 1, a barcode scanning and timing device 2, a buffer rack 3, a dispensing conveyor belt 4, and a transfer robot 5.
[0057] The feeding conveyor belt 1 is used to deliver several watch frame carriers; wherein, the watch frame carriers are used to load watch frames that have been coated with adhesive. The barcode scanning and timing device 2 is used to scan the barcodes of each watch frame carrier and start timing after scanning to record the static time of each watch frame carrier. The buffer rack 3 is provided with several carrier slots for placing each watch frame carrier. The discharging conveyor belt 4 is used to deliver each watch frame carrier.
[0058] The transfer robot 5 is communicatively connected to the barcode scanning and timing device 2, and is used to transfer each of the frame carriers from the feeding conveyor belt 1 to the barcode scanning and timing device 2 for scanning, and then send them into each of the carrier compartments; and is also used to remove carrier compartments that have been stationary for a preset time from each of the carrier compartments and send them into the discharge conveyor belt 4.
[0059] The dispensing buffer and settling device provided in this embodiment operates as follows:
[0060] (1) Feeding stage:
[0061] The glued table frames are placed in table frame carriers, which are then placed on the feed conveyor belt 1.
[0062] The feeding conveyor belt 1 starts and sequentially sends the frame carrier to the working range of the transfer robot 5.
[0063] (2) Scanning and timing stage:
[0064] According to the instructions of the control system, the transfer robot 5 grabs the table frame carrier from the feed conveyor belt 1.
[0065] The transfer robot 5 moves the watch frame carrier to the position of the barcode scanning and timing device 2.
[0066] The barcode scanning and timing device 2 scans the barcode or QR code on the table frame carrier, records the information of the table frame carrier, and immediately starts the timer after scanning to start calculating the resting time.
[0067] (3) Cache resting phase:
[0068] After scanning the code, the transfer robot 5 places the table frame carrier into the corresponding carrier slot of the cache rack 3.
[0069] Each frame carrier is placed in the compartment of cache rack 3 to wait for the adhesive to cure.
[0070] (4) Material preparation stage:
[0071] When the static time of a certain frame carrier reaches the preset curing time, the barcode scanning timing device 2 issues a command.
[0072] According to the instructions, the transfer robot 5 takes out the table frame carrier from the corresponding carrier compartment of the cache rack 3.
[0073] (5) Discharge stage:
[0074] The transfer robot 5 places the stationary frame carrier onto the discharge conveyor belt 4.
[0075] The discharge conveyor belt 4 starts, sending the frame carrier to the downstream assembly operation stage.
[0076] Therefore, the dispensing buffer stationary device provided by this utility model can realize mechanized stationary timing operation, so as to reduce labor costs and improve timing accuracy.
[0077] In this embodiment, the cache rack 3 includes a plurality of shelf panels 301 arranged at intervals from top to bottom, and each shelf panel 301 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart vehicle compartments. Each vehicle compartment is provided with a vehicle positioning groove 302 adapted to the table frame vehicle.
[0078] Optionally, the carrier compartment is also equipped with a material detection sensor 303 that is communicatively connected to the transfer robot 5. The material detection sensor 303 can detect whether the corresponding carrier compartment is in an idle state, and then control the transfer robot 5 to send the frame that needs to be stationary to the idle carrier compartment.
[0079] Furthermore, there are two buffer racks 3, and both the barcode scanning timing device 2 and the discharge conveyor belt 4 are located between the two buffer racks 3. This structural design is more compact and helps to reduce the footprint of the equipment.
[0080] Optionally, a buffer platform 6 is provided between the barcode scanning timing device 2 and the discharge conveyor belt 4. The buffer platform 6 is provided with a first buffer partition 601 for placing table frames whose resting time has not reached the standard, and a second buffer partition 602 for placing table frames whose resting time has reached the standard.
[0081] When the speed of the form frame carrier delivered by the feeding conveyor belt 1 suddenly increases, the transfer robot 5 may not be able to put it directly into the carrier compartment after scanning the code. Instead, it can put it into the first buffer partition 601 after scanning the code and receive the delivered form frame carrier as soon as possible. After the speed of the subsequent delivered form frame carriers returns to normal, the form frame carrier in the first buffer partition 601 can be sent into the carrier compartment.
[0082] Similarly, when the speed of the table frame carrier delivered by the feeding conveyor belt 1 suddenly increases, if the transfer robot 5 takes out the table frame carrier from the carrier compartment but cannot immediately place the table frame carrier into the discharge conveyor belt 4, it can first place the table frame carrier into the second buffer partition 602 to receive the delivered table frame carrier as soon as possible; after the speed of the subsequent delivered table frame carriers returns to normal, the table frame carriers in the second buffer partition 602 can then be sent into the discharge conveyor belt 4.
[0083] Optionally, the first cache partition 601 is higher than the second cache partition 602. Based on the height difference, it is easy to visually determine which table frames in the cache platform 6 have reached the required static time and which have not. Even if the equipment suddenly stops or malfunctions, workshop workers can continue their work, directly feeding the table frame carriers in the second cache partition 602 into the discharge conveyor belt 4.
[0084] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
