After picking up material at the loading position, the rotary loading and unloading mechanism raises the picked-up material and rotates it above the unloading position, and then lowers the material to the unloading position, thus completing the rotary loading and unloading process.
[0003] However, the existing rotary loading and unloading mechanisms have an unreasonable structural layout, occupy a large space, and are difficult to adapt to working conditions with limited space, resulting in low product competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0006] The rotating platform is rotatably coupled with the base, and the rotating partition is slidably mounted on the rotating platform. The sliding direction of the rotating partition is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the rotating platform. Multiple sets of material picking components are mounted on the rotating partition along the rotation direction of the rotating platform. The material picking components can rotate to the material picking station and the material discharging station. The material picking components can pick up materials at the material picking station and release materials at the material discharging station.
[0007] Both the rotary driver and the telescopic driver are mounted on the base, and both are located on the side of the rotary table opposite to the rotating partition. The rotary driver is connected to the rotary table and is used to drive the rotary table to rotate. A clearance hole is provided at the rotation center of the rotary table, and the telescopic part of the telescopic driver passes through the clearance hole. The telescopic part is pivotally connected to the rotating partition and is used to drive the rotating partition to slide.
[0008] Preferably, as one possible implementation, when a set of the picking components is present at one of the picking stations and the unloading stations, a set of the picking components is also present at the other station.
[0009] Preferably, as one possible implementation, the material taking component at the material taking station is adjacent to the material taking component at the material discharging station.
[0010] Preferably, as one possible implementation, the rotary table is fixedly connected to a plurality of guide shafts, the plurality of guide shafts are parallel to each other, and each guide shaft is slidably engaged with the rotary plate.
[0011] Preferably, as one possible implementation, the ends of the guide shafts furthest from the rotary table are connected by reinforcement members.
[0012] Preferably, as one possible implementation, the material-grabbing component includes a vacuum suction cup, which is capable of picking up materials.
[0013] Preferably, as one possible implementation, the rotary loading and unloading mechanism further includes a support and a pneumatic slip ring, the support being fixedly connected to the base; the stator of the pneumatic slip ring being fixedly connected to the support for connection to an external air source; and the rotor of the pneumatic slip ring being fixedly connected to the reinforcing member for connection to the vacuum suction cup.
[0014] Preferably, as one possible implementation, the support includes a tubular column and a slip ring plate. The bottom of the tubular column is fixedly connected to the base, one end of the slip ring plate is fixedly connected to the top of the tubular column, and the other end is fixedly connected to the stator of the pneumatic slip ring.
[0015] Preferably, as one possible implementation, the rotary drive includes a servo motor.
[0016] Preferably, as one possible implementation, the rotating partition is located above the rotating table, and the telescopic actuator includes a lifting cylinder, the telescopic rod of which is pivotally connected to the rotating partition.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] During operation, the rotary drive can be controlled to rotate the rotary table, which in turn drives the rotary partition plate to rotate synchronously, causing a set of picking components mounted on the rotary partition plate to rotate to the picking station. Then, the telescopic drive is controlled to lower the rotary partition plate, allowing the picking components to descend to the picking height and pick up the material. Next, the telescopic drive is controlled to raise the rotary partition plate, allowing the picking components to rise to the transfer height. Then, the rotary drive is controlled to drive the rotary table to rotate the rotary partition plate, causing the picking components holding the material to rotate to the unloading station. Next, the telescopic drive is controlled to lower the rotary partition plate, allowing the picking components to descend to the unloading height and release the material.

[0019] It should be noted that both the rotary actuator and the telescopic actuator are mounted on the side of the rotary table opposite to the rotating partition, resulting in a compact and practical structure that effectively reduces space requirements. By creating clearance holes on the rotary table for the telescopic actuator's extension mechanism to pass through, the extension mechanism can smoothly connect to the rotary partition. Furthermore, the telescopic actuator's extension mechanism and the rotary partition are pivotally connected, ensuring the rotary partition can rotate smoothly even when the telescopic actuator is not rotating. In addition, there are fewer structural components near the picking component, resulting in more space and facilitating its replacement.

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0036] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0037] See Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a rotary loading and unloading mechanism, which includes a base 100, a rotary driver, a telescopic driver, a rotary table 200, a rotary partition 300, and multiple sets of material picking components. The rotary table 200 is rotatably coupled to the base 100, and the rotary partition 300 is slidably mounted on the rotary table 200, with the sliding direction of the rotary partition 300 perpendicular to the rotation direction of the rotary table 200. Multiple sets of material picking components are mounted on the rotary partition 300 along the rotation direction of the rotary table 200. The material picking components can rotate to the material picking station and the material unloading station. The material picking components can pick up material 800 at the material picking station and release material 800 at the material unloading station. Both the rotary driver and the telescopic driver are mounted on the base 100, and both are located on the side of the rotary table 200 opposite to the rotating partition 300. The rotary driver is connected to the rotary table 200 and is used to drive the rotary table 200 to rotate. A clearance hole is provided at the rotation center of the rotary table 200, and the telescopic part of the telescopic driver passes through the clearance hole. The telescopic part is pivotally connected to the rotating partition 300 and is used to drive the rotating partition 300 to slide.
[0038] During operation, the rotary drive can be controlled to rotate the rotary table 200, which in turn drives the rotary partition 300 to rotate synchronously, causing a set of picking components mounted on the rotary partition 300 to rotate to the picking station. Then, the telescopic drive is controlled to lower the rotary partition 300, allowing the picking components to descend to the picking height and pick up the material 800. Next, the telescopic drive is controlled to raise the rotary partition 300, allowing the picking components to rise to the transfer height. Then, the rotary drive is controlled to rotate the rotary table 200, causing the rotary partition 300 to rotate, rotating the picking component holding the material 800 to the unloading station. Then, the telescopic drive is controlled to lower the rotary partition 300, allowing the picking components to descend to the unloading height and release the material 800. Finally, the telescopic drive is controlled to raise the rotary partition 300 to the transfer station, completing one rotational loading / unloading operation.
[0039] It should be noted that both the rotary actuator and the telescopic actuator are mounted on the side of the rotary table 200 opposite to the rotating partition plate 300, resulting in a compact and practical structure that effectively reduces space requirements. By providing clearance holes in the rotary table 200 for the telescopic actuator's extension portion to pass through, the extension portion of the telescopic actuator can be smoothly connected to the rotating partition plate 300. Furthermore, the telescopic actuator's extension portion and the rotating partition plate 300 are pivotally connected, ensuring that the rotating partition plate 300 can rotate smoothly even when the telescopic actuator is not rotating. In addition, there are fewer structural components near the material picker, resulting in more space and facilitating the replacement of the material picker.
[0040] Therefore, the rotary loading and unloading mechanism provided in this embodiment occupies little space, can realize rotary loading and unloading in a limited space, has strong adaptability, is easy to maintain, and improves product competitiveness.
[0041] Preferably, when there is a set of picking components at one of the picking station and the unloading station, there is also a set of picking components at the other station. In this way, picking and unloading can be carried out simultaneously. That is, the rotating plate 300 rotates and rises and falls once, and the picking component's movement is adaptively controlled to complete one picking and unloading operation, which can improve the efficiency of rotating loading and unloading.
[0042] Furthermore, by setting the picking components at the picking station and the picking components at the discharging station to be adjacent, when a group of picking components picks up material 800, the rotary table 200 only needs to rotate once, and the picking component carrying material 800 can rotate to the discharging station without stopping at other positions. In this way, not only can the loading and unloading efficiency be improved, but the number of picking components can also be reduced, thereby reducing costs.
[0043] Specifically, the material pickers can be set into four groups, and the angle between any two groups of material pickers in the rotation direction of the rotary table 200 is 90°.
[0044] Several guide shafts 210 can be fixed on the rotary table 200. The guide shafts 210 are set to be parallel to each other, and each guide shaft 210 is slidably engaged with the rotating plate 300. In this way, the rotation of the rotary table 200 can drive the rotating plate 300 to rotate, and the telescopic driver can drive the rotating plate 300 to rise and fall along the guide shafts 210.
[0045] Preferably, the ends of several guide shafts 210 that are away from the rotary table 200 are connected by a reinforcement member 220, which can improve the rigidity of the structure and make the structure more stable.
[0046] A linear bearing 230 can be installed between the guide shaft 210 and the rotating plate 300, which helps to reduce the lifting resistance of the rotating plate 300.
[0047] The aforementioned material handling component may include a vacuum suction cup 310, which can be used to pick up material 800 without easily damaging the material 800. A suction cup locking plate 320 can be extended radially and fixedly attached to the circumference of the rotating partition plate 300, and the vacuum suction cup 310 can be installed on the suction cup locking plate 320.
[0048] In this embodiment, a support 400 and a pneumatic slip ring 500 can also be provided. The support 400 is fixedly connected to the base 100, the stator of the pneumatic slip ring 500 is fixedly connected to the support 400, and the stator of the pneumatic slip ring 500 is connected to an external air source. The rotor of the pneumatic slip ring 500 is fixedly connected to the reinforcement 220, and the rotor of the pneumatic slip ring 500 is connected to the vacuum suction cup 310. In this way, the rotor of the pneumatic slip ring 500 can rotate synchronously with the rotating plate 300, which can keep the air pipe between the rotor of the pneumatic slip ring 500 and the vacuum suction cup 310 from being entangled, and can allow the external air source to smoothly supply vacuum air to the vacuum suction cup 310. In addition, the support 400 can also provide a certain positioning and support for the top reinforcement 220 of the guide shaft 2210 through the pneumatic slip ring 500, which can further improve the structural rigidity and make it sturdy and durable.
[0049] The aforementioned support 400 may include a tubular column 410 and a slip ring plate 420. The bottom of the tubular column 410 is fixed to the base 100, one end of the slip ring plate 420 is fixed to the top of the tubular column 410, and the other end of the slip ring plate 420 is fixed to the stator of the pneumatic slip ring 500. The tubular column 410 can support the pneumatic slip ring 500, and the hollow structure of the tubular column 410 helps to reduce material usage, lower costs and weight.
[0050] Specifically, a servo motor 600 can be used as the aforementioned rotary driver. By connecting the motor shaft of the servo motor 600 to the rotary table 200, the servo motor 600 can drive the rotary table 200. It should be noted that the servo motor 600 has high precision, thus, the servo motor 600 can drive the rotary table 200 to precisely rotate the picking-up part to the picking-up station and the unloading station.
[0051] Specifically, the rotating partition plate 300 is positioned above the rotating platform 200. Correspondingly, the rotary actuator and the telescopic actuator are located below the rotating platform 200. Since the height of the belt conveyor 900 is constant, this arrangement helps to lower the center of gravity of the overall structure, making the structure more stable. Based on this, a lifting cylinder 700 can be used as the aforementioned telescopic actuator. By pivotally connecting the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 700 to the rotating partition plate 300, the lifting cylinder 700 can drive the rotating partition plate 300. Specifically, the telescopic rod can be directly connected to the rotating partition plate 300 or indirectly connected to it through other structures.
[0052] Preferably, the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 700 and the rotating plate 300 can be pivotally connected through a floating joint 710 to compensate for machining errors and reduce installation difficulty.
[0053] Specifically, the base 100 may include a large plate 110, a base plate 120, a support shaft 130, and a mounting platform 140. The support shaft 130 connects the base plate 120 and the mounting platform 140 to form a support seat. The base plate 120 of the support seat is mounted to the large plate 110 by screws. The aforementioned rotary table 200 is rotatably engaged with the mounting platform 140. The bottom of the aforementioned tubular column 410 can be fixed to the large plate 110.
