Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat frame assembly technology, and in particular to a material handling workbench with a light function. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly of complex components such as car seats, small fasteners such as screws and clips need to be frequently retrieved. Traditional material handling tables often use an open material box design, which has the following drawbacks:

[0003] High material handling error rate: When similar materials are placed side by side, operators need to rely on visual identification. Under conditions of fatigue or insufficient lighting, incorrect material handling is prone to occur, leading to assembly quality accidents.

[0004] Inventory monitoring is inefficient: Existing equipment typically only triggers alarms when materials are completely depleted, and cannot monitor the consumption progress of each individual compartment in real time. Operators need to open and check each compartment one by one to determine the replenishment location, resulting in extended production line downtime.

[0005] Deep cavity operation is inconvenient: For tall storage boxes, it is not easy to find and retrieve the materials inside, which not only affects work efficiency but also easily causes muscle strain.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new illuminated material handling workbench to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a material handling workbench with a light function.

[0008] The illuminated material handling workbench provided by this utility model includes: a base plate, a workbench, an upper hopper, a photoelectric sensing mechanism, and a deep cavity handling mechanism. The workbench is fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper surface of the base plate by support columns. There are two upper hoppers. The upper hopper is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench. The upper surface of the upper hopper is fixedly connected to the other upper hopper by connecting rods. The lower surface of the upper hopper is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench by support rods. Multiple evenly distributed partitions are fixedly connected to the inner end face of the upper hopper. The upper hopper is equipped with a photoelectric sensing mechanism, which includes an indicator light and a photoelectric sensor A. The upper surface of the upper hopper is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, on which multiple evenly distributed indicator lights are fixedly mounted. The right side of the upper hopper is fixedly mounted with photoelectric sensor A. Photoelectric sensor A and the indicator lights are communicatively connected to a PLC controller. A horizontally movable deep cavity handling mechanism is provided between the workbench and the base plate.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the upper hopper is provided with multiple evenly distributed label slots.

[0010] Preferably, the deep cavity retrieval mechanism includes a storage plate, a sliding plate, guide rails, a slidable hopper, and an inclined ejection mechanism. The storage plate is provided between the base plate and the worktable. The four corners of the storage plate are fixed to four support columns, and the upper surface of the storage plate is provided with two sliding plates. The lower surface of the sliding plates is slidably connected to two guide rails, which are fixedly connected to the storage plate. The front edge of the sliding plate is rotatably connected to the slidable hopper via a hinge, and the rear end face of the sliding plate is connected to the inclined ejection mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the inner end face of the guide rail is equipped with a plurality of evenly distributed damping positioning pins, and the surface of the pins is provided with a polyurethane buffer layer.

[0012] Preferably, the tilting ejection mechanism includes a gas spring, the cylinder end of which is connected to a sliding plate via a rotating shaft, and the piston rod end is hinged to a reinforcing rib plate fixed to the bottom of the slidable hopper.

[0016] Compared with related technologies, the illuminated material handling workbench provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. Reduce the chance of mis-picking: The independent storage chamber of the upper silo is dynamically linked with the indicator light. The inventory is monitored in real time through photoelectric sensor A. When the process changes, the indicator light of the target silo is automatically lit. Combined with the visual markings of the label slot, the mis-picking rate is reduced.

[0018] 2. High-efficiency material handling: The sliding hopper can be adjusted horizontally via guide rails, and the tilting ejection mechanism driven by a gas spring shortens the material handling time in deep cavities. At the same time, the photoelectric sensor B triggers the lighting lamp to automatically supplement the light, ensuring material handling accuracy in dark environments.

[0019] 3. Environmental adaptability: The four-point leveling system of the base plate achieves fine height adjustment through threaded adjustment rods, adapting to complex working conditions in the workshop. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0024] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The present invention provides a material handling workbench with a light function, which includes: a base plate 3, a workbench 8, an upper material hopper 11, a photoelectric sensing mechanism, and a deep cavity handling mechanism.

[0026] The upper surface of the base plate 3 is fixedly connected to the four corners of the workbench 8 by the support columns 19. There are two upper hoppers 11. The upper surface of the workbench 8 is fixedly connected to the upper hopper 11. The upper surface of the upper hopper 11 is fixedly connected to the other upper hopper 11 by the connecting rods. The lower surface of the upper hopper 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench 8 by the support rods 15. The inner end face of the upper hopper 11 is fixedly connected to multiple evenly distributed partitions 13. The upper hopper 11 is provided with a photoelectric sensing mechanism, which includes an indicator light 12 and a photoelectric sensor A10. The upper surface of the upper hopper 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 14. Multiple evenly distributed indicator lights 12 are fixedly installed on the mounting plate 14. The right side of the upper hopper 11 is fixedly installed with a photoelectric sensor A10. The photoelectric sensor A10 and the indicator lights 12 are connected to the PLC controller. The upper surface of the upper hopper 11 is provided with multiple evenly distributed label slots 9.

[0027] It should be noted that the double-layered upper silo 11 design (the lower layer is fixed to the workbench 8, and the upper layer forms a three-dimensional storage with the connecting rod and the support rod 15) combined with the evenly distributed partitions 13 to divide the independent storage chambers improves space utilization. During operation, materials are stored in layers according to type, and the specification information is marked by the label slot 9 to achieve rapid visual management.

[0028] Furthermore, the photoelectric sensor A10 is vertically installed along the right side of the upper material hopper 11. Each time an employee takes material, the photoelectric sensor A10 detects and counts the material. When the screws or other components are used to the set lower limit, the equipment alarms to prompt the replenishment of materials. In addition, the indicator light 12 and the label slot 9 work together to store different types of screws according to the formula requirements. Each material box corresponds to a specific address. When the operation reaches a certain step, the corresponding indicator light 12 will light up to prompt the employee to take the material from that box, reducing the occurrence of incorrect material taking and improving production quality.

[0029] A horizontally movable deep cavity retrieval mechanism is provided between the workbench 8 and the base plate 3. The deep cavity retrieval mechanism includes a storage plate 4, sliding plates 17, guide rails 5, a slidable material box 6, and a tilting ejection mechanism. The storage plate 4 is located between the base plate 3 and the workbench 8. The four corners of the storage plate 4 are fixed to four support columns 19. Two sliding plates 17 are provided on the upper surface of the storage plate 4. Two guide rails 5 are slidably connected to the lower surface of the sliding plates 17. The guide rails 5 are fixedly connected to the storage plate 4. The front edge of the sliding plate 17 is rotatably connected to the slidable material box 6 via a hinge, and the rear edge of the sliding plate 17 is connected to… The guide rail 5 is equipped with a tilting ejection mechanism. Multiple evenly distributed damping positioning pins are installed on the inner end face of the guide rail 5. The pin body surface is provided with a polyurethane buffer layer. The tilting ejection mechanism includes a gas spring 16. The cylinder end of the gas spring 16 is connected to the sliding plate 17 through a rotating shaft. The piston rod end is hinged to the reinforcing rib plate fixed at the bottom of the sliding material box 6. A photoelectric sensor B18 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the upper surface of the sliding plate 17. An illumination lamp 7 is fixedly installed on the inner end face of the sliding material box 6. The illumination lamp 7 is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor B18, and the photoelectric sensor B18 is communicatively connected to the PLC controller.

[0030] It should be noted that the sliding plate 17 forms a horizontal displacement system with the storage plate 4 through the guide rail 5. The damping positioning pin (with a polyurethane buffer layer on the surface) set on the inner side of the guide rail 5 automatically locks the sliding plate 17 after it moves a certain distance. This allows the operator to quickly adjust the horizontal position of the sliding box 6 according to their height or working posture. Compared with the traditional fixed box, this reduces the forward lean of the body. At the same time, the buffer layer effectively absorbs equipment vibration and prevents the sliding plate 17 from being accidentally displaced.

[0031] When making horizontal adjustments, the sliding hopper 6 is pushed by hand to move the sliding plate 17 along the guide rail 5. When the sliding plate 17 reaches the damping positioning pin position, the polyurethane buffer layer generates 5-8N resistance to achieve self-locking. When unlocking is required, a pushing force of >10N can be applied to continue sliding.

[0032] The gas spring 16 connects the sliding plate 17 to the bottom reinforcing rib of the sliding hopper 6. When the hopper is pressed down, the gas spring 16 provides progressive damping support, allowing the hopper to tilt at a controllable angle. In the tilted state, the material gathers in the feeding port area due to gravity, which improves the feeding time and feeding efficiency of the deep cavity hopper.

[0033] Furthermore, the sliding hopper 6 has an integrated lighting lamp 7 on its inner wall. When the photoelectric sensor B18 detects the tilt angle of the hopper, it automatically lights up to illuminate the bottom of the hopper, ensuring that material specifications can still be clearly identified in the dark environment of the workshop, reducing the risk of mis-picking.

[0034] The four corners of the lower surface of the base plate 3 are fixedly connected to support feet 1 by adjusting rods 2, and the adjusting rods 2 are threadedly connected to the base plate 3.

[0035] It should be noted that the four corners of the lower surface of the base plate 3 are fitted with support feet 1 by adjusting rods 2 connected by threads, forming a four-point independent leveling mechanism. Rotating any adjusting rod 2 can adjust the height of the corresponding corner individually, effectively adapting to uneven workshop floors, reducing the levelness error of the workbench 8, and avoiding material slippage caused by table tilt.

[0036] In summary, this utility model, through its double-layer silo structure, photoelectric linkage guidance, and adjustable deep cavity material handling design, improves material management efficiency and operational safety. Its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0037] 1. Reduce the chance of mis-picking: The independent storage chamber of the upper hopper 11 is dynamically linked with the indicator light 12. The photoelectric sensor A10 monitors the inventory in real time. When the process is switched, the indicator light of the target hopper is automatically lit. Combined with the visual markings of the label slot 9, the mis-picking rate is reduced.

[0038] 2. High-efficiency material handling: The sliding material box 6 achieves horizontal displacement adjustment through the guide rail 5, and in conjunction with the tilting ejection mechanism driven by the gas spring 16, the material handling time in the deep cavity is shortened. At the same time, the photoelectric sensor B18 triggers the lighting lamp 7 to automatically supplement the light, ensuring material handling accuracy in dark environments.

[0039] 3. Environmental adaptability: The four-point leveling system of the base plate 3 achieves fine height adjustment through the threaded adjustment rod 2, adapting to the complex working conditions of the workshop.

[0040] This invention solves the technical defects of traditional worktables, such as high error rate, inconvenient deep cavity operation, and extensive inventory management, through the synergistic innovation of mechanical structure and photoelectric detection. It is suitable for high-precision manufacturing scenarios such as automobile assembly.
