[0032] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive distinction and have no specific meaning.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-7 As shown, a building block assembly device is provided, including a housing 1, and a building block assembly platform 4, a building block conveying unit 5, and a robotic arm 6 disposed within the housing 1; wherein: the building block assembly platform 4 includes a positioning plate 10, holes 15, and a top-opening structure 8 that rises and falls relative to the housing 1, the positioning plate 10 is laid inside the housing 1, several holes 15 are provided along the positioning plate 10, the top-opening structure 8 is disposed at the bottom of the positioning plate 10, and the top-opening structure 8 moves up and down along the holes 15; several building block conveying units 5 are provided along the periphery of the positioning plate 10, and the building block conveying units 5 are used to store and transport building blocks in an orderly manner; the execution unit of the robotic arm 6 reciprocates between the building block conveying unit 5 and the positioning plate 10, the execution unit of the robotic arm 6 picks up building blocks from the building block conveying unit 5, and the execution unit of the robotic arm 6 performs assembly work on the positioning plate 10.
[0034] This utility model provides an assembly device for building block puzzles. By incorporating a top-opening structure 8, after the building blocks are assembled, the top-opening structure 8 can rise along the holes 15, easily lifting the assembled building block product for quick and easy handling by operators. This significantly improves the efficiency of picking up and placing the building blocks, while avoiding potential damage caused by manually prying blocks directly from the positioning plate 10. The building block conveying unit 5 can supply different types of building blocks to the robotic arm 6 in a timely and accurate manner according to assembly needs, reducing the waiting time for the robotic arm 6 to pick up materials. This makes the entire assembly process smooth and efficient, effectively improving the assembly speed of the building block puzzle. The reciprocating motion of the robotic arm 6's execution unit between the building block conveying unit 5 and the positioning plate 10 allows it to accurately pick up materials from the building block conveying unit 5 and perform assembly work on the positioning plate 10, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the building block assembly and significantly improving the quality and precision of the building block puzzle.
[0035] Preferably, the top-opening structure 8 includes a mounting plate 81 and a support column 82. The mounting plate 81 is vertically positioned relative to the housing 1 at the bottom of the positioning plate 10. In this embodiment, the top of the support column 82 can use screws to position the building block components, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the building blocks during assembly. The screw connection provides a solid support, preventing the building blocks from shifting due to external forces during assembly, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and the quality of the finished product. The support column 82 is positioned on top of the mounting plate 81 and moves vertically through the retraction hole 15 along with the mounting plate 81. In other embodiments, a lifting cylinder can be installed inside the housing 1 to drive the mounting plate 81 to move vertically, allowing the mounting plate 81 and its support column 82 to move smoothly and accurately through the retraction hole 15. The lifting cylinder not only provides sufficient driving force but also ensures the smoothness and controllability of the lifting process, further improving the efficiency and accuracy of the building block assembly.
[0036] Preferably, the block conveying unit 5 can be composed of a vibratory feeder. The vibratory feeder can use its own vibration characteristics to automatically sort and directionally convey the blocks placed in its internal block storage cavity. This eliminates the need for complex manual operation and additional sorting equipment, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of block conveying and enabling the rapid acquisition of the required blocks for puzzle assembly.
[0037] Preferably, the robotic arm 6 includes a positioning base 61, a rotating rod 62, and a rotating base 63. The bottom of the positioning base 61 is positioned on the positioning plate 10. The rotating rod 62 is rotatably connected between the top of the positioning base 61 and one end of the rotating base 63 relative to the positioning plate 10. To achieve the rotatable function, a rotary motor can be installed. The precise control of the rotary motor enables the robotic arm 6 to rotate according to a predetermined trajectory and angle, further improving the accuracy of the operation.
[0038] Furthermore, a lifting suction head 64 is provided at the other end of the rotating base 63. To realize the lifting and suction functions of the lifting suction head 64, a rotary lifting motor can be installed on the rotating base 63, and a suction cup can be screwed onto the screw rod of the rotary lifting motor. The precise control of the rotary lifting motor allows the lifting suction head 64 to rise and fall at a predetermined speed and height, thereby adapting to the needs of different height operations. The design of screwing the suction cup onto the screw rod of the rotary lifting motor ensures that the suction cup can firmly adhere to the object to be grasped, preventing it from easily falling off. At the same time, the suction force of the suction cup can be finely adjusted by adjusting the lifting height of the screw rod to accommodate building blocks of different shapes.
[0039] The rotation and lifting functions of the robotic arm 6 are both driven by motors, making the operation process more efficient and faster. Moreover, the suction function of the lifting suction head 64 enables the robotic arm 6 to easily grasp and release objects without human intervention, further improving the level of automation.
[0040] Preferably, the box body 1 includes a base 11, a bottom plate 12, and a protective fence 13. The positioning plate 10 protrudes from the top of the base 11, and the bottom plate 12 is symmetrically mounted on the top of the base 11. The symmetrical bottom plates 12 extend in a direction away from the positioning plate 10. The block conveying unit 5 is positioned on the top of the bottom plate 12, thereby creating a height difference between the splicing plane of the bottom plate 12 and the positioning plate 10, which makes full use of the internal space of the box body 1 and makes the entire block assembly system more compact and efficient.
[0041] Preferably, the top of the protective fence 13 is provided with a photoelectric sensing component 9, which can be composed of a safety light curtain. As a photoelectric sensing component 9, the safety light curtain can quickly detect objects or personnel entering the protective fence 13, thereby triggering an alarm or stopping the operation of related equipment, so as to discover and prevent potential security threats at the first time and ensure the safety of personnel and property within the fenced area.
[0042] Furthermore, the block conveying unit 5 is positioned on top of the base plate 12, allowing the blocks to be conveyed flush to the side of the positioning plate 10, thus facilitating the robotic arm 6 to grasp and assemble the blocks. A protective fence 13 is erected along the edge of the base plate 12, enclosing the positioning plate 10. This effectively prevents operators from accidentally entering the work area, reducing the risk of accidental injury.
[0043] Specifically, the vibratory feeder is positioned on the base plate 12, which isolates the vibratory feeder from the building blocks installed on the positioning plate 10. That is, a shock-absorbing component 2 is connected between the base 11 and the base plate 12. The shock-absorbing component 2 can effectively absorb and disperse vibrations from the outside or inside, ensuring that the robotic arm 6 can maintain high stability when performing splicing work.
[0044] Specifically, the shock-absorbing component 2 includes a damping block 21 and a locking block 22, which can be made of rubber. The damping block 21 is positioned at the bottom of the base plate 12, and its bottom surface has a slot. The locking block 22 is positioned at the top of the base 11, and its top surface has a protruding positioning block that engages with the slot. This not only ensures the stability of the connection but also effectively absorbs vibration energy through the elastic material of the damping block 21, effectively reducing the vibration amplitude transmitted to the robotic arm 6 and the building blocks, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the assembly work.
[0045] In this embodiment, the base plate 12 and the positioning plate 10 are connected by a connecting assembly 3, which provides stability for the installation of the base plate 12. Further, the connecting assembly 3 includes a fixing plate 31 and a connecting rib 32. The fixing plate 31 is erected on the side of the positioning plate 10, and the connecting rib 32 is positioned between the fixing plate 31 and the positioning plate 10. The fixing plate 31 in the connecting assembly 3, erected on the side of the positioning plate 10, provides solid support for the base plate 12. Simultaneously, the connecting rib 32, positioned between the fixing plate 31 and the positioning plate 10, forms a stable triangular structure. This structural design greatly enhances the stability of the entire connection structure, ensuring the firmness and safety of the base plate 12 during installation.
[0046] Specifically, the bottom surface of the base 11 is provided with a moving part 7, which can be composed of casters. The casters have their own braking function. While the moving part 7 allows the box 1, the block assembly platform 4, the block conveying unit 5 and the robotic arm 6 to move easily between different positions, it is also positioned in a specific location without relying on external handling tools or manpower, thereby effectively improving the flexibility and convenience of the overall equipment.
[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
