Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding equipment, specifically a transitional non-stop material changing feeding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] After the coil frame is processed, it is usually loaded using a robotic arm. The process is as follows: the movement trajectory of the robotic arm is set by programming so that it can accurately grab the processed coil frame and place it in the designated loading position.
[0003] Appropriate clamps can be selected based on the shape and size of the coil holder to ensure stable gripping. It accurately grips and places the coil holder, reducing errors during the feeding process. It offers good repeatability, enabling continuous feeding according to a set program, improving production efficiency. It is highly adaptable, adjustable to different coil holder sizes and shapes. Alternatively, it can be transported via a conveyor belt; the processed coil holder is placed on the conveyor belt, and a motor-driven conveyor belt transports the coil holder to the feeding position. Sensors can be installed on the conveyor belt to detect the position and quantity of the coil holders for automatic control.
[0004] Whether it's loading by a robotic arm or a conveyor belt, there will be pauses in the loading process, affecting the overall operating efficiency of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0017] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a transitional non-stop material changing feeding mechanism, including a frame 6. A conveyor chain 5 and an empty tray collection assembly 3 are installed on the surface of the frame 6. The conveyor chain 5 is located at the bottom of the tray feeding assembly 8. A lifting cylinder is installed below the tray feeding assembly 8. A full-load tray 9 is installed on the tray feeding assembly 8. A carrier positioning shaft 11 is installed on one side of the full-load tray 9. A lifting moving column 10 and a limiting light blocking plate 7 are installed on the lower side of the carrier positioning shaft 11. A clamping cylinder assembly 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the tray feeding assembly 8. A gripping feeding assembly 14 is installed on one side of the tray feeding assembly 8. The gripping feeding assembly 14 includes a gripping feeding assembly 14 installed between the tray feeding assembly 8 and the empty tray collection assembly 3. A material separating support plate 2 is provided on the empty tray collection assembly 3.
[0018] Working Principle: When using this equipment, the fully loaded pallet 9, neatly filled with parts, is first placed on top of the pallet loading assembly 8. When loading is required, a lifting cylinder installed at the bottom of the pallet loading assembly 8 lifts the fully loaded pallet 9. After lifting, two clamping cylinder groups 13 are installed on both sides of the pallet loading assembly 8. Support blocks are fixed to the piston rod ends of the cylinders in the clamping cylinder groups 13. Simultaneously, the four sets of support blocks move inward to clamp the fully loaded pallet 9, which has been lifted by the lifting cylinder. At the same time, the fully loaded pallet 9 in the lifting state and the clamping assemblies on both sides are moved horizontally by the conveyor chain 5, allowing the workpieces on the fully loaded pallet 9 to be handled by the gripping and loading assembly. The robot 14 is positioned relative to the workpiece on the full-load pallet 9 and performs the workpiece grabbing and picking operation through the robot arm 1 on the grabbing and feeding component 14. The robot arm 1 can move the workpiece to the carrier on the belt line located on the surface of the frame 6. Multiple sets of carriers are evenly arranged on the belt line, which can buffer and transport a large number of workpieces, avoiding the problem of stopping the feeding process and improving the operating efficiency of the entire production line. Finally, after the workpiece on the surface of the full-load pallet 9 is grabbed by the robot arm 1, it is transported to the interior of the empty pallet collection component 3 for collection. Multiple sets of full-load pallets 9 perform feeding, grabbing and collection in a progressive sequence. The entire process does not require equipment to be stopped, which greatly improves the feeding efficiency of this equipment.

The four support columns 4 located on the left side of the frame 6 position and install the pallet feeding assembly 8, while the four support columns 4 located on the right side of the frame 6 position and install the empty pallet collection assembly 3.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, four sets of guide frames 12 are evenly installed on the surface of the pallet loading assembly 8, and guide strips are fixedly provided on the inner wall of the guide frame 12. At the same time, the guide frame 12 is made of metal and has an "L" shaped cross-section.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, a drag chain and a cylinder are installed on the gripping and feeding assembly 14, and the robotic arm 1 on the gripping and feeding assembly 14 is driven to move laterally and reciprocally by the drag chain, while the robotic arm 1 on the gripping and feeding assembly 14 is driven to move up and down by the cylinder.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, two clamping cylinder groups 13 are provided on both sides of the pallet loading assembly 8, and a support block is fixedly provided at the end of the cylinder moving rod on the clamping cylinder group 13.
