Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of badge machine technology, specifically to a bottom cover feeding mechanism for a badge machine. Background Technology
[0002] Badge machines were initially used primarily for producing badges, lapel pins, and other identifying items. Early badge production relied heavily on manual labor or semi-automatic equipment, with some manual processes having a certain error rate, resulting in low efficiency and inconsistent quality. With technological advancements, badge machines have gradually incorporated automation and mechanization, achieving full automation from raw material processing to finished product manufacturing. However, current badge machine equipment often uses vibratory feeders for loading the base cover. This method can easily cause defects and wear on the base cover during production, affecting product quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, a bottom cover feeding mechanism for a badge machine is provided, comprising a base, a rotating disk on the base, a plurality of rotating drums arranged along the arc surface of the rotating disk, a fixed bracket on the outer side of the rotating drums, a fixed frame on one side of the base, a slide rail arranged laterally on the upper inner side of the fixed frame, one end of the slide rail being located above a conveyor belt, the other end of the slide rail being located above a rotating drum, a stop block being located at the end of the slide rail, a pneumatic slider being provided on the slide rail, the pneumatic slider being movably connected to the slide rail, a cylinder-driven moving manipulator being provided on one side of the pneumatic slider, and a suction component at the lower end of the moving manipulator.
[0004] The inner side of the stop block is equipped with an anti-collision photoelectric sensor, and the corresponding side of the pneumatic slider is equipped with an anti-collision photoelectric sensor.
[0005] The mobile robotic arm moves along the track to a position directly above a rotating drum and a conveyor belt.
[0006] The diameter of the suction component is smaller than that of the rotating drum.
[0007] The other side of the conveyor belt is equipped with a turntable clamp, and the upper end of the turntable clamp is equipped with a cylinder-driven bottom cover robot.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, this utility model uses a rotary positioning cylinder to achieve automatic feeding, which reduces the possibility of damage or scratches on the bottom cover surface, reduces the defect rate of the bottom cover, and improves product quality and stability.

[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0013] like Figures 1 to 2 A bottom cover feeding mechanism for a badge machine includes a base 1, a rotating disk 2 on the base 1, eight rotating drums 3 arranged along the arc surface of the rotating disk 2, each drum capable of holding more than 150 bottom covers. The bottom cover material is in cylindrical form for easier feeding. A fixed bracket 4 is provided on the outer side of the rotating drum 3, and a fixed frame 5 is provided on one side of the base 1. A slide rail 6 is horizontally arranged on the upper inner side of the fixed frame 5. One end of the slide rail 6 is located above a conveyor belt 11, and the other end is located above a rotating drum 3. A stop block 8 is provided at the end of the slide rail 6. A pneumatic slider 7 is provided on the slide rail 6, and the pneumatic slider 7 is movably connected to the slide rail 6. A cylinder-driven moving manipulator 9 is provided on one side of the pneumatic slider 7, and a suction assembly 10 is located at the lower end of the moving manipulator 9. The suction assembly 10 is driven by a vacuum pump.
[0014] The inner side of the stop block 8 is equipped with an anti-collision photoelectric sensor, and the corresponding side of the pneumatic slider 7 is equipped with an anti-collision photoelectric sensor to prevent displacement from causing impacts that affect product quality.
[0015] The mobile robotic arm 9 moves along the track to directly above the rotating drum 3 and the conveyor belt 11.
[0016] The diameter of the suction component 10 is smaller than that of the rotating drum 3, which makes it easier for the mobile robotic arm to drive the suction component to penetrate deep into the rotating drum to suck up the bottom cover.
[0017] A turntable clamp 12 is provided on the other side of the conveyor belt 11. A bottom cover robot is provided at the upper end of the turntable clamp 12. The bottom cover robot picks up the bottom cover from the conveyor belt 11 and puts it into the turntable clamp 12.
[0018] In operation, the mobile robotic arm moves directly above the rotating drum 3, extends downwards to pick up the bottom cover from the drum 3, extends upwards, and moves it onto the conveyor belt 11. The bottom cover robotic arm then picks up the material from the conveyor belt 11 and places it onto the turntable clamp 12. This process is repeated to feed the material. The process of picking up material from the rotating drum 3 and placing it on the conveyor belt 11 provides a buffer for the feeding process. When all the bottom covers in a single rotating drum 3 have been removed, the rotating disc 2 drives the rotating drum 3 to rotate to the designated position, a rotation that takes 10-20 seconds. During this time, there is still material remaining on the conveyor belt 11 for the equipment to use. When all the bottom covers in all the rotating drums 3 have been removed, the bottom cover feeding mechanism is paused, and the rotating drums 3 are manually replenished.
