Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of loading and unloading technology, and in particular to an adjustable heating material handling unit and a material handling module. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of industrial automation technology, the requirements for material handling devices on production lines are becoming increasingly stringent. Most existing material handling devices use suction nozzles as the picking tool. While simple in structure and easy to operate, they have revealed several shortcomings in practical applications. First, these suction nozzle devices generally lack heating functions, making it impossible to guarantee the stability and reliability of material handling when processing certain temperature-sensitive materials. Second, due to the lack of horizontal adjustment capabilities, these devices often struggle to achieve precise picking and placing when dealing with materials of different shapes, sizes, and hardnesses, thus affecting production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing material handling device to solve the problems that it cannot be leveled and does not have a heating function, thus failing to meet the specific material handling requirements.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is included only to enhance the understanding of the context of this disclosure, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide an adjustable heating material handling unit and a material handling module, which can effectively solve the problems that existing material handling devices cannot be leveled and do not have a heating function, thus failing to meet the specific material handling requirements.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an adjustable heating and material handling unit and a material handling module, comprising:

[0007] The material picking base is provided with a downwardly protruding ball joint;

[0008] A connecting plate assembly is located below the material receiving base and is rotatably connected to the ball joint;

[0009] Several rotary adjustment components, each of which is threaded through the material picking base and abuts against the top surface of the connecting plate assembly;

[0010] A heating suction head, located below the connecting plate assembly, includes a heat-conducting body with suction holes and an electric heating rod inserted into the heat-conducting body.

[0011] Optionally, the material receiving base includes an L-shaped base plate, a ball joint located below the L-shaped base plate, and a ball locking bolt threaded from top to bottom through the L-shaped base plate and connected to the ball joint.

[0012] Optionally, the connecting plate assembly includes:

[0013] A ball joint connecting plate, wherein the ball joint connecting plate is provided with a spherical groove for the ball joint to be inserted from bottom to top;

[0014] An upper connecting plate, which is located below the ball-head connecting plate;

[0015] A lower connecting plate, which is located below the upper connecting plate.

[0016] Optionally, the connecting plate assembly further includes:

[0017] An intermediate heat-insulating plate is located between the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate.

[0018] Optionally, the connecting plate assembly further includes:

[0019] The first locking bolt passes through the lower connecting plate, the middle heat insulation plate, and the upper connecting plate from bottom to top, and is then threaded to the ball head connecting plate.

[0020] Optionally, the connecting plate assembly further includes:

[0021] An inverted L-shaped connecting plate is installed below the lower connecting plate by a second locking bolt, and the heating suction head is installed on the side of the inverted L-shaped connecting plate.

[0022] Optionally, the bottom surface of the heat conductor is provided with the suction hole, and the top surface of the heat conductor is provided with an electric rod insertion hole for inserting the electric heating rod.

[0023] Optionally, the heat conductor is provided with an air intake connector on its side that connects to the suction hole.

[0024] Optionally, a temperature sensor is attached to the side of the heat conductor.

[0025] On the other hand, a material handling module is provided, including a plurality of vertical guide rails, a plurality of vertical sliders arranged in one-to-one correspondence with each of the vertical guide rails, and a plurality of adjustable heating material handling units arranged in one-to-one correspondence with each of the vertical sliders.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It provides an adjustable heating and material handling unit and a material handling module. On the one hand, the connecting plate assembly is rotatably connected to the ball joint, and each of the rotating adjustment components passes through the material handling base and abuts against the top surface of the connecting plate assembly. The level of the connecting plate assembly can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment components, thereby realizing the horizontal adjustment of the material handling device. This adjustability solves the problem that existing material handling devices cannot be leveled, enabling the material handling device to adapt to the angle of different working surfaces and ensuring the stability and accuracy of material handling.

[0027] On the other hand, the heated suction head includes a heat-conducting body with suction holes and an electric heating rod inserted into the heat-conducting body. Heating the heat-conducting body with the electric heating rod improves the performance of the heated suction head, solving the problem that existing material handling devices lack heating functionality. This is especially important for materials that require heating before handling (such as thermoplastics and viscous materials), as it ensures that the material maintains an appropriate temperature during handling, preventing hardening or adhesion problems caused by excessively low temperatures.

[0028] Therefore, the adjustable heating material handling unit and material handling module provided by this utility model can effectively solve the problems that existing material handling devices cannot be adjusted to be horizontal and do not have heating functions, thus failing to meet the specific material handling requirements.

The inverted L-shaped connecting plate 205 is installed below the lower connecting plate 203 by the second locking bolt, and the heating suction head 4 is installed on the side of the inverted L-shaped connecting plate 205.

[0056] During assembly, first, the ball joint 101 is inserted into the spherical groove of the ball joint connecting plate 201, and then the ball joint 101 is connected using the ball joint locking bolt 103, thus completing the installation of the ball joint 101; then, the upper connecting plate 202, the middle heat insulation plate 204, and the lower connecting plate 203 are aligned; then, the first locking bolt is used to pass through the lower connecting plate 203, the middle heat insulation plate 204, and the upper connecting plate 202 from bottom to top, and is threaded to the ball joint connecting plate 201, thus completing the assembly of the connecting plate group 2 and the material picking base 1; next, the second locking bolt is passed through the inverted L-shaped connecting plate 205 from bottom to top and threaded to the lower connecting plate 203, and the heating suction head 4 is installed on the side of the inverted L-shaped connecting plate 205; thus, the assembly of the entire adjustable heating material picking unit 300 is completed.
