Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of machining technology, specifically to an automatic shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly process of electronic products, it is necessary to install some workpieces with curved structures. When processing these workpieces with curved structures, bending is usually used. However, after bending, the workpiece will spring back due to its own stress, resulting in the workpiece dimensions being unqualified. Therefore, when installing these workpieces, it is necessary to reshape the workpieces first to ensure that the dimensions of the workpieces meet the standards.

[0003] Currently, the workpiece is usually placed in the shaping mechanism by manual operation. This manual operation is labor-intensive, inefficient, and poses safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above, it is necessary to propose an automatic shaping device that can automatically feed, shape and unload materials, thereby improving the degree of automation, reducing the labor intensity of operators and improving work efficiency.

[0005] This application provides an automatic shaping device, comprising: a feeding mechanism including a loading component and a pushing component; the loading component including a support frame and a loading bin connected to the support frame; the loading bin extending along a first direction for carrying a plurality of workpieces arranged along the first direction; the pushing component including a pushing drive member disposed adjacent to the support frame and a pushing member connected to the pushing drive member; the pushing member being disposed opposite to the loading bin; the pushing drive member driving the pushing member to push the workpieces along the first direction; a transferring mechanism disposed near the feeding mechanism for transferring the workpieces; a shaping mechanism disposed near the transferring mechanism for shaping the workpieces; and a receiving mechanism disposed near the feeding mechanism for collecting the shaped workpieces.

[0006] The aforementioned automatic shaping device is equipped with a feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism's loading component, via a support frame and a loading bin extending along the first direction, can stably support multiple workpieces arranged along the first direction. The pushing component's pushing drive can drive the pushing component to push the workpieces along the first direction, enabling precise control of workpiece pushing. Workpieces are accurately pushed one by one to subsequent processes according to production needs, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the feeding. A transfer mechanism can transfer workpieces from the feeding mechanism to the shaping mechanism. The shaping mechanism is located close to the transfer mechanism, allowing for timely shaping of the workpieces after accurate transfer. After shaping, the transfer mechanism can transfer the shaped workpieces to the receiving mechanism. This automatic shaping device, through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism, transfer mechanism, shaping mechanism, and receiving mechanism, can achieve automatic loading, shaping, and unloading, improving the automation level of production, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and increasing work efficiency.

[0007] In some embodiments, the material loading bin includes a material loading plate and two baffles arranged along the first direction. The material loading plate is used to carry a plurality of workpieces. The material loading plate has a sliding hole arranged along the first direction. The two baffles are spaced apart on the material loading plate along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The two baffles are used to abut against the two sides of the workpieces so that the plurality of workpieces are arranged along the first direction. The pusher is provided with a pusher portion, which is movably disposed in the sliding hole. The pusher drive drives the pusher to move along the first direction so that the pusher portion slides along the sliding hole, thereby causing the pusher portion to push against the workpieces along the first direction.

[0008] In some embodiments, each of the baffles has a plurality of strip holes arranged along the second direction, and the material hopper further includes a plurality of locking members, which are used to be inserted into the strip holes to connect the baffles and the material hopper.

[0009] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism further includes a lifting assembly, which includes a lifting drive connected to the side of the support frame near the transfer mechanism and a lifting member connected to the lifting drive. The lifting member abuts against the carrier plate and is used to carry the workpiece removed from the carrier plate. The lifting drive is used to drive the lifting member to move along a third direction to lift the workpiece. The third direction is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction.

[0010] In some embodiments, a positioning groove is provided on the side of the lifting member away from the lifting drive member. The positioning groove includes a groove bottom and a groove wall opposite to the material carrier plate. The groove bottom is used to support the workpiece, and the groove wall is used to stop the workpiece.

[0011] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly further includes an identification sensor connected to the lifting member and disposed toward the positioning slot, the identification sensor being used to identify the workpiece in the positioning slot.

[0012] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly further includes an adjusting member that is adjustablely connected to the lifting member, and the identification sensor is adjustablely connected to the adjusting member, the adjusting member being used to adjust the position of the identification sensor.

[0013] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly further includes a feeding sensor connected to one end of the feeding part extending out of the sliding hole. When the feeding part drives the feeding sensor to move toward the workpiece, the feeding sensor is used to detect the position of the workpiece.

[0014] In some embodiments, the material transfer mechanism includes a material transfer drive member disposed near the material feeding mechanism and a gripper connected to the material transfer drive member. The gripper includes a clamping drive member connected to the material transfer drive member and two gripping fingers connected to the clamping drive member. The clamping drive member is used to drive the two gripping fingers to move closer or further apart to clamp or release the workpiece. The material transfer drive member is used to drive the gripper to transfer the workpiece.

[0015] In some embodiments, the receiving mechanism includes a support platform and two receiving boxes. The support platform is disposed near the support frame, and the two receiving boxes are disposed on the support platform. The two receiving boxes are respectively used to collect the workpieces that have passed the shaping process and the workpieces that have failed the shaping process. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. To facilitate understanding and explanation of the embodiments of this application, a three-dimensional coordinate system is established in some of the drawings, with the Y-axis direction as the first direction, the X-axis direction as the second direction, and the Z-axis direction as the third direction. The X-axis direction, Y-axis direction, and Z-axis direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an automatic shaping device 100 for automatically feeding, shaping, and unloading workpieces 200. The workpiece 200 can be a strip-shaped or block-shaped structure; in this embodiment, the workpiece 200 may have curved structures or other parts requiring shaping. The automatic shaping device 100 includes a feeding mechanism 10, a transferring mechanism 20, a shaping mechanism 30, and a receiving mechanism 40.

[0026] Specifically, please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The feeding mechanism 10 includes a loading assembly 11 and a pushing assembly 12. The loading assembly 11 includes a support frame 111 and a loading bin 112 connected to the support frame 111. The loading bin 112 extends along the Y-axis and is used to carry multiple workpieces 200 arranged along the Y-axis. The pushing assembly 12 includes a pushing drive 121 adjacent to the support frame 111 and a pushing member 122 connected to the pushing drive 121. The pushing member 122 is arranged opposite to the loading bin 112. The pushing drive 121 is used to drive the pushing member 122 to push the workpieces 200 to move along the Y-axis. The support frame 111 is used to support the loading bin 112. It can be understood that other support platforms can be provided on the lower side of the support frame 111 to increase the height of the support frame 111 and the loading bin 112, so as to facilitate the placement of workpieces 200 into the loading bin 112 and the removal of materials from the loading bin 112 by the material transfer mechanism 20. In this embodiment, to further improve processing efficiency, two material loading bins 112 can be provided, and the two material loading bins 112 are arranged adjacent to each other along the X-axis direction. The pushing drive component 121 can be a cylinder, a linear module, etc., and the pushing component 122 can be a plate-shaped, rod-shaped, or other structure. If two material loading bins 112 are provided, then two pushing components 12 can be provided, each corresponding to one of the two material loading bins 112, or two ends corresponding to the two material loading bins 112 can be provided on the pushing component 122, so that one pushing component 122 can simultaneously push the workpieces 200 in the two material loading bins 112 to move.

[0027] The transfer mechanism 20 is located near the feeding mechanism 10 and is used to transfer the workpiece 200. By setting up the transfer mechanism 20, the workpiece 200 can be automatically transferred to the shaping mechanism 30, improving the level of automation. The transfer drive component 21 can be a structure such as a robotic arm. Through the cooperation of the transfer drive component 21 and the gripper 22, the workpiece 200 can move flexibly and accurately between different positions, facilitating the smooth transfer of the workpiece 200 from the feeding mechanism 10 to the shaping mechanism 30 for shaping operations, as well as subsequent transfer to the receiving mechanism 40, ensuring the high efficiency of the workpiece 200's flow between processes.

[0028] The shaping mechanism 30 is located near the transfer mechanism 20 and is used to shape the workpiece 200. The shaping mechanism 30 is an integrated shaping and inspection machine. After the transfer mechanism 20 places the workpiece 200 into the shaping mechanism 30, the shaping mechanism 30 shapes the workpiece 200. After the shaping is completed, the workpiece 200 is inspected, and the inspection result information is sent to the transfer mechanism 20. The transfer mechanism 20 then removes the workpiece 200 from the shaping mechanism 30.

[0029] The receiving mechanism 40 is located near the feeding mechanism 10 and is used to collect the shaped workpiece 200.

[0030] The automatic shaping device 100 provided in this embodiment is equipped with a feeding mechanism 10. The material-carrying component 11 of the feeding mechanism 10, through a support frame 111 and a material-carrying bin 112 extending along the Y-axis, can stably carry multiple workpieces 200 arranged along the Y-axis. The pushing drive component 121 in the pushing component 12 can drive the pushing component 122 to push the workpieces 200 along the Y-axis, enabling precise control of the workpiece 200 pushing. According to production needs, the workpieces 200 are accurately pushed one by one to the subsequent processes, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the feeding. The workpieces 200 can be transferred from the feeding mechanism 10 to the shaping mechanism 30 by the transfer mechanism 20. The shaping mechanism 30 is located close to the transfer mechanism 20. While the transfer mechanism 20 accurately transfers the workpieces 200, the shaping mechanism 30 can perform timely shaping processing on the workpieces 200. After shaping, the transfer mechanism 20 can transfer the shaped workpieces 200 to the receiving mechanism 40. The automatic shaping device 100 provided in this application embodiment can realize automatic feeding, shaping and unloading through the cooperation of feeding mechanism 10, transferring mechanism 20, shaping mechanism 30 and receiving mechanism 40, which improves the degree of automation of production, helps to reduce the labor intensity of operators and improves work efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The material storage bin 112 includes a material loading plate 1121 arranged along the Y-axis and two baffle plates 1122. The material loading plate 1121 is used to support multiple workpieces 200. The material loading plate 1121 has sliding holes 1121a arranged along the Y-axis. The two baffle plates 1122 are spaced apart on the material loading plate 1121 along the X-axis and are used to abut against the two sides of the workpieces 200 so that the multiple workpieces 200 are arranged along the Y-axis. The material loading plate 1121 has a plate-like structure to provide stable support for the workpieces 200, and the sliding holes 1121a can be strip-shaped holes. The baffle 1122 can be plate-shaped or strip-shaped. Two baffles 1122 can effectively support the two sides of the workpiece 200, so that multiple workpieces 200 are arranged more neatly and accurately along the Y-axis on the material carrier plate 1121. This ensures the consistency of the initial position of each workpiece 200 during the feeding process, providing a good foundation for subsequent pushing and shaping processes, and is conducive to improving the processing accuracy and product quality stability of the entire device.

[0032] The pusher 122 is provided with a pusher part 1221, which is movably disposed in the sliding hole 1121a. The pusher drive 121 drives the pusher 122 to move along the Y-axis, so that the pusher part 1221 slides along the sliding hole 1121a, thereby pushing the workpiece 200 along the Y-axis. The pusher part 1221 can be a block-shaped or plate-shaped structure. The pusher part 1221 is movably disposed in the sliding hole 1121a of the carrier plate 1121. When the pusher drive 121 drives the pusher 122 to move along the Y-axis, the pusher part 1221 can slide stably along the sliding hole 1121a, so that the pusher part 1221 always moves along a predetermined path during the pusher process, improving the smoothness and reliability of the pusher action, reducing the damage to the workpiece 200 that may be caused by the instability of the pusher, and also helping to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the pusher.

[0033] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3Each grid plate 1122 has multiple slotted holes 1122a arranged along the X-axis. The material storage bin 112 also includes multiple locking members 113, which are inserted into the slotted holes 1122a to connect the grid plate 1122 and the material storage plate 1121. The number of slotted holes 1122a on each grid member can be two, three, four, etc., and the multiple slotted holes 1122a on each grid member are spaced apart along the Y-axis. The locking members 113 can be bolts or other connecting structural components, and are used to lock the grid plate 1122 and the material storage plate 1121. It is understandable that different types of workpieces 200 may have different dimensions along the X-axis when placed in the loading bin 112. By cooperating with the strip hole 1122a and the locking member 113, the position of the baffle plate 1122 on the loading plate 1121 along the X-axis can be adjusted to meet the carrying and arrangement requirements of various workpieces 200. This eliminates the need for complex tools or a lot of time to modify the structure, improves the flexibility and adaptability of the feeding mechanism 10 in handling different workpieces 200, and reduces production changeover costs.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The feeding mechanism 10 also includes a lifting assembly 13. The lifting assembly 13 includes a lifting drive 131 connected to the side of the support frame 111 near the transfer mechanism 20 and a lifting member 132 connected to the lifting drive 131. The lifting member 132 abuts against the carrier plate 1121 and is used to carry the workpiece 200 that has been removed from the carrier plate 1121. The lifting drive 131 is used to drive the lifting member 132 to move along the Z-axis to lift the workpiece 200. The lifting drive 131 can be a cylinder or other driving device, and the lifting member 132 can be a plate-like structure. It can be understood that before lifting the workpiece 200, the lifting drive 131 can drive the lifting member 132 to descend so that the lifting member 132 can receive the workpiece 200 pushed out of the carrier hopper 112 by the pushing assembly 12. Then, the lifting drive 131 can drive the lifting component 132 to move along the Z-axis direction to lift the workpiece 200, so that a single workpiece 200 is misaligned with other workpieces 200 in the loading bin 112 in the Z-axis direction, which makes it easier for the gripper 22 to pick up the material and can prevent the gripper 22 from bumping into other workpieces 200 when picking up the material.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3A positioning groove 1321 is provided on the side of the lifting member 132 away from the lifting drive member 131. The positioning groove 1321 includes a groove bottom 1321a and a groove wall 1321b opposite to the material carrier plate 1121. The groove bottom 1321a is used to support the workpiece 200, and the groove wall 1321b is used to stop the workpiece 200. It can be understood that the positioning groove 1321 can be a contoured structure adapted to the structure of the workpiece 200 to improve the stability when supporting the workpiece 200. The groove bottom 1321a is used to support the workpiece 200, while the groove wall 1321b can effectively stop the workpiece 200, preventing the workpiece 200 from moving too far along the Y-axis, causing the second adjacent workpiece 200 to move onto the groove bottom 1321a, thereby affecting the movement of the lifting workpiece 200. By setting the positioning groove 1321, the workpiece 200 can be accurately positioned in a specific position after being lifted by the lifting member 132. When the subsequent material transfer mechanism 20 clamps the workpiece 200, the workpiece 200 is always in an accurate and stable position, which greatly improves the accuracy and success rate of the gripper 22 and reduces the situation of clamping failure or unstable posture of the workpiece 200 after clamping due to the position deviation of the workpiece 200, thereby improving the working accuracy and reliability of the entire device.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lifting assembly 13 also includes an identification sensor 133, which is connected to the lifting member 132 and positioned towards the positioning slot 1321. The identification sensor 133 is used to identify the workpiece 200 in the positioning slot 1321. The identification sensor 133 can be a proximity switch, etc. The identification sensor 133 can identify the workpiece 200 in the positioning slot 1321 in real time and accurately, and can promptly confirm whether the workpiece 200 has been successfully lifted to the predetermined position and is in a state that can be gripped by the material transfer mechanism 20. Once an abnormality is detected in the workpiece 200, such as not being correctly placed in the positioning slot 1321 or being missing, information can be fed back immediately, thereby effectively avoiding subsequent process failures or the production of defective products due to abnormal status of the workpiece 200, ensuring the stability of the production process and product quality.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The lifting assembly 13 also includes an adjusting member 134, which is tunably connected to the lifting member 132. An identification sensor 133 is tunably connected to the adjusting member 134, which is used to adjust the position of the identification sensor 133. The adjusting member 134 can be a plate-like structure, and may have strip-shaped holes extending along the X-axis and Z-axis. The identification sensor 133 can be installed in the adjusting strip-shaped holes extending along the X-axis, thus adjusting its position in the X-axis direction. The adjusting member 134 can be inserted into the strip-shaped holes extending along the Z-axis and connected to the lifting member 132 via bolts or similar means. Thus, the adjusting member 134's position in the Z-axis direction can be adjusted by the cooperation of the strip-shaped holes and bolts, thereby adjusting the position of the identification sensor 133 in the Z-axis direction. In this way, the position of the recognition sensor 133 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size, shape, and placement posture of different workpieces 200 in the positioning groove 1321. For example, for workpieces 200 that are small in size or have special shapes, the recognition sensor 133 can be adjusted to a more suitable position by adjusting the adjustment component 134 to ensure that the workpiece 200 can be accurately detected. This avoids the situation where the recognition sensor 133 is fixed in position, which may lead to inaccurate or undetectable detection of certain special workpieces 200. This greatly improves the compatibility and adaptability of the automatic shaping device 100 to various types of workpieces 200.

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The feeding assembly 12 also includes a feeding sensor 123, which is connected to one end of the feeding part 1221 extending out of the sliding hole 1121a. When the feeding part 1221 moves the feeding sensor 123 toward the workpiece 200, the feeding sensor 123 detects the position of the workpiece 200. The feeding sensor 123 can be a pressure-holding sensor. When the feeding part 1221 moves the feeding sensor 123 toward the workpiece 200, the feeding sensor 123 can push the workpiece 200. When the workpiece 200, which is away from the feeding sensor, abuts against the groove wall 1321b of the positioning groove 1321, the end of the feeding sensor 123 that pushes the workpiece 200 is pressed, thereby contacting the sensing element inside the feeding sensor 123, and the feeding sensor 123 acquires a signal. The position of the workpiece 200 that is far away from the pusher sensor 123 is identified. That is, the workpiece 200 is located in the positioning groove 1321. The pusher drive 121 no longer drives the pusher 122 to move the pusher sensor 123 along the Y-axis. The pusher drive 121 drives the pusher 122 to move a distance in the opposite direction of the Y-axis so that the pusher sensor 123 no longer holds the workpiece 200, so that the lifting drive 131 drives the lifting member 132 to lift the workpiece 200.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The material transfer mechanism 20 includes a material transfer drive 21 located near the feeding mechanism 10 and a gripper 22 connected to the material transfer drive 21. The gripper 22 includes a clamping drive 221 connected to the material transfer drive 21 and two gripping fingers 222 connected to the clamping drive 221. The clamping drive 221 drives the two gripping fingers 222 to move closer or further apart to clamp or release the workpiece 200. The material transfer drive 21 drives the gripper 22 to transfer the workpiece 200. The material transfer drive 21 can be a robotic arm or similar structure. Through the cooperation of the material transfer drive 21 and the gripper 22, the workpiece 200 can move flexibly and accurately between different positions, facilitating the smooth transfer of the workpiece 200 from the feeding mechanism 10 to the shaping mechanism 30 for shaping operations, and subsequently to the receiving mechanism 40, ensuring the high efficiency of the workpiece 200's flow between processes. The clamping drive 221 can be a double-headed cylinder or other drive mechanism, and the clamping fingers 222 can be a strip structure. By driving the two clamping fingers 222 to move through the clamping drive 221, the workpiece 200 can be clamped or released.

[0040] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 20 may be equipped with two grippers 22, one gripper 22 for holding the unshaped workpiece 200 and the other gripper 22 for holding the shaped workpiece 200. The transfer mechanism 20 includes two grippers 22, enabling it to process both unshaped and shaped workpieces 200 simultaneously within the same work cycle. This reduces the time spent switching tasks between grippers 22, improving overall transfer efficiency. For example, after one gripper 22 holds the unshaped workpiece 200 and transfers it to the shaping mechanism 30, the other gripper 22 can grab the shaped workpiece 200 from the shaping mechanism 30. Then, the gripper 22 holding the unshaped workpiece 200 can place the workpiece 200 into the shaping mechanism 30, shortening the waiting time in the entire production process, accelerating the production pace, and increasing output per unit time.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The receiving mechanism 40 includes a support platform and two receiving boxes 41. The support platform is positioned near the support frame 111, and both receiving boxes 41 are mounted on the support platform. The two receiving boxes 41 are used to collect workpieces 200 that have passed shaping and workpieces 200 that have failed shaping, respectively. By using two receiving boxes 41, accurate classification and collection of the shaped workpieces 200 are achieved, avoiding confusion between qualified and unqualified workpieces 200. In subsequent quality control, product packaging, and reprocessing stages, workpieces 200 in different quality states can be quickly and accurately identified and processed, improving the convenience and efficiency of production management.

[0042] The working process of the automatic shaping device 100 provided in this application embodiment is roughly as follows:

[0043] First, multiple workpieces 200 arranged along the Y-axis are placed in the loading bin 112. Then, the pusher drive 121 drives the pusher 122 to move. The pusher part 1221 of the pusher 122 drives the pusher sensor 123 to push the workpiece 200 along the Y-axis until the workpiece 200 away from the pusher sensor 123 moves into the positioning groove 1321 of the lifting member 132. The pusher drive 121 drives the pusher sensor 123 to move in the opposite direction of the Y-axis through the pusher 122, thereby making the pusher sensor 123 away from the workpiece 200. Then, the identification sensor 133 located on the lifting member 132 detects whether there is a workpiece 200 in the positioning groove 1321. If there is no workpiece 200, the identification sensor 133 sends a signal to remind the operator to perform maintenance. If there is a workpiece 200, the lifting assembly 13 starts to operate, and the lifting drive member 131 drives the lifting member 132 to move along the Z-axis direction to lift the workpiece 200 located in the positioning groove 1321.

[0044] Then, the transfer drive 21 in the transfer mechanism 20 drives the gripper 22 to move to the lifting member 132. The clamping drive 221 in one of the grippers 22 drives the corresponding two gripping fingers 222 to clamp the workpiece 200 located in the positioning groove 1321. The transfer drive 21 drives the gripper 22 to move to the shaping mechanism 30. If there is a shaped workpiece 200 in the shaping mechanism 30 at this time, the other gripper 22 will clamp the shaped workpiece 200. The gripper 22 holding the unshaped workpiece 200 will place the workpiece 200 into the shaping mechanism 30.

[0045] Next, the shaping mechanism 30 shapes the workpiece 200 and then inspects it. If the workpiece 200 is qualified, the transfer mechanism 20 places it into the receiving box 41 in the receiving mechanism 40. If the workpiece 200 is unqualified, the transfer mechanism 20 places it into the receiving box 41 in the receiving mechanism 40. Operators regularly inspect and replace the receiving box 41 as needed.
