[0024] Implementation examples, by Figure 1-9The present invention includes a workbench 1, a vibratory feeder 4 fixedly mounted on the top of the workbench 1, a feeding trough 5 fixedly mounted on the output end of the vibratory feeder 4, a linear vibrator 6 fixedly mounted on the top of the workbench 1, the feeding trough 5 fixedly mounted on the top of the linear vibrator 6, and a marking assembly 7 fixedly mounted on the top of the workbench 1. The marking assembly 7 includes a mounting frame 71, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the workbench 1 by support legs. A guide plate 72 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 71, and a guide groove is formed on the guide plate 72. 73. One end of the feeding trough 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the guide plate 72. The mounting frame 71 is provided with a first feeding component 74, a second feeding component 75, a transverse component 76, a dropping component 77, a positioning component 78, a front and back identification device 79, and a marking device 710. The mounting frame 71 is provided with a dropping trough 711. The workbench 1 is provided with a first collection box 2 and a second collection box 3. The first collection box 2 is located below the tail of the guide plate 72, and the second collection box 3 is located at the bottom of the dropping trough 711.
[0025] The guide plate 72 is divided into a front section and a rear section. The first feeding component 74 includes a first cylinder 741, which is fixedly installed on the top of the guide plate 72. A first push plate 742 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first cylinder 741. A groove for placing the workpiece 100 to be processed is opened on one end surface of the first push plate 742. The first cylinder 741 controls the first push plate 742 to move and drives the workpiece 100 to be processed from the front section to the rear section of the guide plate 72.
[0026] In this embodiment, the workpieces 100 to be processed are fed one by one into the feeding trough 5 in the vibrating plate 4. The straight vibrator 6 continues to move the workpieces 100 to be processed in the feeding trough 5 into the guiding trough 73, so that the workpieces 100 to be processed will accumulate in the guiding trough 73. The workpiece 100 at the front will enter the groove of the first push plate 742. After the first cylinder 741 pushes the first push plate 742 to move, the workpiece 100 to be processed in the groove is moved to the rear end of the guiding plate 72.
[0027] The second feeding assembly 75 includes a second cylinder 751, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 71. A sliding support platform 752 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second cylinder 751, and the sliding support platform 752 is movably installed on the top of the mounting frame 71 via a slide rail.
[0028] In this embodiment, the second cylinder 751 can control the transverse component 76 to move back and forth, which facilitates the reset of the workpiece 100 after it has been moved to the next position.
[0029] The transverse movement assembly 76 includes a transverse movement cylinder 761, which is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding support platform 752. A transverse movement stage 762 is fixedly installed at the output end of the transverse movement cylinder 761. The transverse movement stage 762 is movably installed on the top of the sliding support platform 752 via a slide rail. A first chuck 763 and a second chuck 764 are fixedly installed on the side of the transverse movement stage 762 facing the guide plate 72, respectively. Both the first chuck 763 and the second chuck 764 are provided with material grooves 765 that match the workpiece 100 to be processed.
[0030] In this embodiment, the material groove 765 on the first jaw 763 can move the workpiece 100 to be processed at the head position of the rear section of the guide plate 72 to below the front and back recognition device 79. The front and back recognition device 79 can use image recognition technology to determine the front or back of the workpiece 100 to be processed, and thus make different actions.
[0031] The material feeding assembly 77 includes a material feeding cylinder 771, which is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 71. A second push plate 772 is fixedly installed at the output end of the material feeding cylinder 771.
[0032] In this embodiment, when the front and back recognition device 79 determines the orientation of the workpiece 100 to be processed, the workpiece 100 to be processed is already on the second push plate 772. After the front and back recognition device 79 determines that the front or back of the workpiece 100 to be processed is facing up, the second push plate 772 can be moved or kept still by the dropping cylinder 771, so that the workpiece 100 to be processed in the material trough 765, and the front end of the second push plate 772 is located above the dropping trough 711. After the second push plate 772 moves, the workpiece 100 to be processed will automatically fall into the second collection box 3 below the dropping trough 711.
[0033] The positioning assembly 78 includes a positioning cylinder 781, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting bracket 71. A positioning plate 782 is fixedly installed at the output end of the positioning cylinder 781, and a positioning groove 783 is provided on the side of the positioning plate 782 facing the guide plate 72.
[0034] In this embodiment, when the transverse stage 762 moves the first chuck 763, it simultaneously moves the workpiece 100 to be processed in the second chuck 764 to below the marking device 710 for marking. The two positioning slots 783 on the positioning plate 782 can be used to position the workpiece 100 to be processed, which can simultaneously ensure the image recognition of the front and back recognition device 79 and the marking of the marking device 710.
[0035] The bottom surface of the second claw 764 is in contact with the surface of the positioning plate 782, and the bottom surface of the positioning plate 782 is in contact with the top surface of the second push plate 772.
[0036] In this embodiment, the positioning groove 783 on one side can be used to limit the workpiece 100 to be processed, so that the workpiece 100 can fall naturally after the second push plate 772 moves. When it is necessary to move the workpiece 100 to the next station, the second chuck 764 can move the workpiece 100 by moving the positioning plate 782. Finally, the marked workpieces will fall one by one from the tail of the guide chute 73 and be collected by the first collection box 2.
[0037] Working principle: The vibratory feeder 4 and the linear vibrator 6 move the messy workpieces 100 to be processed in the vibratory feeder 4 one by one into the feed trough 5 and line them up in the guide trough 73. Then, the marking component 7 is used to identify the front and back sides respectively, rejecting the unqualified workpieces 100 and marking the qualified workpieces 100. Finally, they are collected through the second collection box 3 and the first collection box 2 respectively, thus automating the marking work without manual intervention, with high work efficiency and avoiding safety hazards.
