[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

The dispensing mechanism 4 is located at the end of the discharge channel 3 of the vibratory feeder 2. The feeding motion module 5 is mounted above the dispensing mechanism 4 and the clamping motion mechanism 7. The tray-stacking robot 6 is connected to the feeding motion module 5 and is used to drive the tray-stacking robot 6 to reciprocate along the X-axis and Z-axis directions.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the material distribution mechanism 4 includes a material distribution trough 27, a feeding trough 26, a material distribution push rod 28, a feeding push rod 22, and a movable material trough 24; the discharge channel 3 is arranged along the X-axis direction, and its end is connected to the material distribution trough 27. The material distribution trough 27 is arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the material distribution push rod 28 is installed inside the material distribution trough 27. The material distribution push rod 28 is driven by the cylinder 21 to reciprocate along the material distribution trough 27; the end of the material distribution trough 27 is connected to the feeding trough 26, which is arranged along the X-axis direction. The feeding trough 26 is equipped with a feeding push rod 22, which is driven by the cylinder 21 to reciprocate along the material distribution trough 27; the end of the material distribution trough 27 is connected to the feeding trough 26, which is arranged along the X-axis direction.

Drive the reciprocating movement along the feeding trough 26; a movable material trough 24 is set at the end of the feeding trough 26, and the movable material trough 24 is driven by the electric conveyor belt 23 to reciprocate along the Y-axis direction; wherein, the button is sent to the discharging trough 27 by the discharge channel 3, the discharging push rod 28 is activated to push the button to the feeding trough 26, and then the feeding push rod 22 is activated to push the button to the movable material trough 24. The movable material trough 24 drives the button to move to the bottom of the loading motion module 5, and the tray robot 6 picks up the button from the movable material trough 24. The loading motion module 5 drives the tray robot 6 to move.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the clamping motion mechanism 7 includes a first slide assembly 10 and a second slide assembly 11 disposed below the first slide assembly 10. A button clamping disk 8 is respectively disposed on the first slide assembly 10 and the second slide assembly 11. The first slide assembly 10 and the second slide assembly 11 are used to drive the button clamping disk 8 to reciprocate along the Y-axis. The first slide assembly 10 and the second slide assembly 11 can alternately transport the button clamping disk 8 to below the loading motion module 5 for placement by the tray-swinging robot arm 6.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the material distribution pusher 28 and the material feeding pusher 22 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the discharge channel 3. This layout is reasonable and reduces the equipment's footprint. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the movable feed trough 24 is provided with multiple grooves 25 for supporting the buttons 30, and the grooves 25 are spaced apart along the Y-axis. As the movable feed trough 24 moves in a step-by-step manner, the feeding pusher 22 pushes the multiple buttons one by one into the grooves 25 of the movable feed trough 24. The movable feed trough 24 can support multiple buttons, and preferably, four grooves 25 are provided on the movable feed trough 24 to improve production efficiency.

The moving seat 37 is mounted on the X-axis guide rail 31 and is driven by the X-axis motor 32 to reciprocate along the X-axis guide rail 31. The Z-axis guide rail 35 and the Z-axis motor 36 are mounted on the moving seat 37. The tilting robot 6 is mounted on the Z-axis guide rail 35 and is driven by the Z-axis motor 36 to reciprocate along the Z-axis guide rail 35. Specifically, activating the X-axis motor 32 drives the moving seat 37 to reciprocate along the X-axis guide rail 31 between the moving material trough 24 and the button clamping plate 8, thus transferring the buttons. Activating the Z-axis motor 36 drives the tilting robot 6 to move up and down along the Z-axis, thus picking up and placing the buttons. Furthermore, using the loading motion module 5 simplifies the structure and reduces equipment costs.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the tray-arranging robot 6 includes multiple suction cups 33 for picking up the buttons 30 and a vacuum generator 34. The suction cups 33 are connected to the vacuum generator 34, and the suction cups 33 are correspondingly arranged with multiple grooves 25 on the moving material tank 24. The tray-arranging robot 6 uses vacuum suction cups 33, which can pick up multiple buttons from the moving material tank 24 and place them into the button clamping tray 8 for tray arrangement.

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the first slide assembly 10 and the second slide assembly 11 are lead screw type slide modules. Lead screw type slide modules have a simple structure and low production cost. Typically, a lead screw type slide module includes a linear guide rail, a slide block, a lead screw nut, and a servo motor. By alternating transport by the first slide assembly 10 and the second slide assembly 11, the tray loading efficiency is improved.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the button clamping tray 8 is provided with multiple button clamping slots 9 for placing buttons. The button clamping slots 9 are arranged in an array along the X and Y axes and are corresponding to multiple suction cups 33. The tray-mounting robot 6 picks up multiple buttons from the moving material tray 24 and places them into the button clamping slots 9 of the button clamping tray 8. Simultaneous picking and placing of multiple buttons ensures accurate placement and improves tray-mounting efficiency.

[0038] The working steps of an automatic button tray arrangement device are as follows: A manual operator places the button clamp tray 8 onto the first slide assembly 10 and the second slide assembly 11 respectively. The first slide assembly 10 and the second slide assembly 11 alternately transport the button clamp tray 8 to the bottom of the feeding motion module 5. The button is placed into the vibratory feeder 2, and the button is sent to the dispensing mechanism 4 through the discharge channel 3 of the vibratory feeder 2. The dispensing mechanism 4 sends the button into the moving material trough 24. The tray arrangement robot 6 picks up the button from the moving material trough 24 and moves it to the button clamp tray 8 under the drive of the feeding motion module 5, placing the button in the tray, thus realizing automatic button tray arrangement.

[0039] This utility model discloses an automatic button tray placement device. A dispensing mechanism distributes the buttons fed by a vibratory feeder to a moving material trough. A tray-placement robot picks up the buttons from the moving material trough and, driven by a feeding motion module, moves them to a button clamping plate to place them, achieving automatic and accurate button placement. The automatic button tray placement device, fed by a vibratory feeder, enables automatic dispensing, transfer, and tray placement, improving production efficiency, saving labor, and reducing equipment production costs.
