Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handling equipment technology, and in particular to a switch handling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Housing, also known as base or mounting plate, is the main component of the connector, determining its external dimensions and the positioning of its parts. Housing is typically made of plastic.

[0003] Housings have a wide range of applications. In switch components, they are often used as the outer shell of the switch components. Switch components generally include an insertion end and a receiving end. During the assembly and processing of switch components, it is often necessary to handle the receiving end of the switch component, that is, to move the receiving end of the switch component from the feeding mechanism to the processing position and limit and lock it to facilitate the next processing step. In the past, most of the handling work was done manually, which resulted in high labor intensity for workers during long working hours, was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and had low efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a switch handling mechanism to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model discloses a switch handling mechanism, which includes a material feeding mechanism and a storage mechanism. During operation, a vibrating feeder transports switch material to a receiving trough at the top of the receiving platform. Then, a cylinder operates, causing a lifting seat to move downwards, which in turn moves the material feeding head downwards. The material feeding head clamps and fixes the switch material. The cylinder then operates again, causing the material feeding head to move upwards, thus moving the switch material upwards. When the material feeding head reaches a certain height, a sliding table electric cylinder operates, causing a sliding seat to move horizontally. This horizontal movement of the sliding seat, in turn, moves the cylinder, thereby moving the material feeding head and the switch material horizontally. When the material feeding head has moved the switch material to above one of the clamping platforms, the cylinder then... The next operation moves the pick-up head and switch material downwards until the pick-up head moves the switch material down to engage with the clamping slot. The switch material is then released, completing the transfer of this switch material. This process is repeated, with the pick-up head clamping and securing another switch material before moving it horizontally to the top of another clamping platform. The cylinder then moves the switch material down to engage with its corresponding clamping slot, completing the transfer of both switch materials. This allows for simultaneous processing of both switch materials in the next step without manual handling, significantly reducing the labor intensity of workers and making the switch material handling time-saving, labor-saving, and highly efficient. In summary, this solves the problems in the background technology.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

Specific Implementation Example 1:

[0029] Reference Figures 1-7 A switch handling mechanism includes a base 1, a support column 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, a receiving platform 3 fixedly connected to the top of the support column 2, a receiving groove 4 opened on the top of the receiving platform 3, and switch material 5 disposed in the receiving groove 4. A mounting frame 6 and a machine frame 7 are fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1. A material handling and feeding mechanism 8 includes a sliding table electric cylinder 801, a pneumatic cylinder 802, a lifting seat 803, and a material handling head 804. The sliding table electric cylinder 801 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 6, and a sliding seat 805 is fixedly connected to the output end of the sliding table electric cylinder 801. One side of the pneumatic cylinder 802 is connected to the sliding seat 805. 05 Fixed connection: The bottom of the lifting seat 803 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 802. The material taking head 804 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the lifting seat 803, and the position of the material taking head 804 matches the position of the switch material 5 in the receiving groove 4. Storage mechanism 9: The storage mechanism 9 includes a rotating shaft 901, a top seat 902, and a clamping platform 903. The storage mechanism 9 is provided with two sets. Both rotating shafts 901 are rotatably installed at the frame 7. The top of the rotating shaft 901 is fixedly connected to the top seat 902. The top of the top seat 902 is fixedly connected to the clamping platform 903. The top of the clamping platform 903 is provided with a clamping groove 904.

[0030] The receiving platform 3 is externally connected to a vibrating feeder, and the receiving trough 4 is matched and connected to the discharge port of the external vibrating feeder; the picking head 804 is T-shaped, and the top of the T-shaped picking head 804 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting seat 803. The bottom of the picking head 804 is provided with a picking clamp; the bottom of the picking head 804 is provided with multiple first vacuum suction ports 806, the interior of the picking head 804 is connected to the first vacuum suction ports 806, and the interior of the picking head 804 is connected to the external pipeline of a vacuum pump; the inside of the clamping trough 904 is provided with multiple second vacuum suction ports 905, the interior of the clamping platform 903 is connected to the second vacuum suction ports 905, and the interior of the clamping platform 903 is connected to the external pipeline of a vacuum pump.

[0031] In the specific implementation process, during operation, the switch material 5 can be conveyed to the receiving trough 4 at the top of the receiving platform 3 by the vibrating feeder. Then, the cylinder 802 operates, driving the lifting seat 803 to move downward, thereby driving the picking head 804 to move downward. The picking head 804 clamps and fixes the switch material 5. Then, the cylinder 802 operates, driving the picking head 804 to move upward, thereby driving the switch material 5 to move upward. When the picking head 804 moves to a certain height, the sliding table electric cylinder 801 operates, driving the sliding seat 805 to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the sliding seat 805 drives the cylinder 802 to move horizontally, thereby driving the picking head 804 and the switch material 5 to move horizontally. When the picking head 804 moves... When switch material 5 is moved horizontally above one of the clamping platforms 903, cylinder 802 works again to drive the picking head 804 and switch material 5 to move down until the picking head 804 drives the switch material 5 to engage with the clamping slot 904. Then switch material 5 can be released, completing the transfer of this switch material 5. At this time, the operation is repeated. The picking head 804 clamps and fixes another switch material 5 and moves it horizontally to the top of another clamping platform 903. Then cylinder 802 works to drive the switch material 5 to move down to engage with the corresponding clamping slot 904. This completes the transfer of two switch materials 5, so that the two switch materials 5 can be processed simultaneously in the next process.

[0032] The receiving platform 3 is connected to a vibrating feeder, and the receiving trough 4 is matched and connected to the discharge port of the vibrating feeder so that the receiving end of the switch material 5 can be transported to the receiving trough 4 by the vibrating feeder, so that the subsequent material picking head 804 can accurately pick up the material.

[0033] The material taking head 804 is T-shaped. The top of the T-shaped material taking head 804 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting seat 803 to ensure that the material taking head 804 has high stability and is not easy to shake. The material taking clamp at the bottom of the material taking head 804 is to ensure that the receiving end of the switch material 5 can be clamped and fixed.

[0034] The bottom of the feeding head 804 is provided with multiple first vacuum suction ports 806 so that when clamping and fixing the receiving end of the switch material 5, the first vacuum suction ports 806 can work with the vacuum pump connected inside the feeding head 804 to generate suction at the bottom of the feeding head 804, thereby effectively adsorbing and fixing the switch material 5, improving the fixing effect of the switch material 5, and preventing the switch material 5 from falling off accidentally.

[0035] The material slot 904 is equipped with multiple second vacuum suction ports 905 so that after the switch material 5 is stuck in the material slot 904, it can work with the vacuum pump connected to the material slot platform 903 to generate suction at the bottom of the material slot 904, thereby effectively adsorbing and fixing the switch material 5, improving the fixing effect of the switch material 5 and preventing the switch material 5 from falling off accidentally. Specific Implementation Example 2:

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, a motor 906 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the frame 7. The motor 906 is connected to the shaft end of one of the rotating shafts 901. The two rotating shafts 901 are connected by a pulley 907 and a belt drive.

[0038] In the specific implementation process, when the two switch materials 5 are clamped in the two clamping slots 904, the motor 906 can be started as needed to drive one of the rotating shafts 901 to rotate. The rotation of this rotating shaft 901 can cooperate with the pulley 907 and the transmission belt to synchronously drive the other rotating shaft 901 to rotate, so that the two clamping tables 903 can be rotated synchronously and in the same direction, and the angle of the two switch materials 5 can be finely adjusted so that it can be better cooperated with other mechanical equipment for the processing of the switch materials 5.

[0039] Working principle: During operation, the vibrating feeder conveys the switch material 5 to the receiving trough 4 at the top of the receiving platform 3. Then, the cylinder 802 operates, driving the lifting seat 803 to move downward, thereby driving the picking head 804 to move downward. The picking head 804 clamps and fixes the switch material 5. Then, the cylinder 802 operates, driving the picking head 804 to move upward, thereby driving the switch material 5 upward. When the picking head 804 moves to a certain height, the sliding table electric cylinder 801 operates, driving the sliding seat 805 to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the sliding seat 805 drives the cylinder 802 to move horizontally, thereby driving the picking head 804 and the switch material 5 to move horizontally. When switch material 5 is moved horizontally above one of the clamping platforms 903, cylinder 802 works again to drive the picking head 804 and switch material 5 to move down until the picking head 804 drives the switch material 5 to engage with the clamping slot 904. Then switch material 5 can be released, completing the transfer of this switch material 5. At this time, the operation is repeated. The picking head 804 clamps and fixes another switch material 5 and moves it horizontally to the top of another clamping platform 903. Then cylinder 802 works to drive the switch material 5 to move down to engage with the corresponding clamping slot 904. This completes the transfer of two switch materials 5, so that the two switch materials 5 can be processed simultaneously in the next process.

[0040] When the two switch materials 5 are clamped in the two clamping slots 904, the motor 906 can be started as needed to drive one of the rotating shafts 901 to rotate. The rotation of this rotating shaft 901 can work with the pulley 907 and the transmission belt to synchronously drive the other rotating shaft 901 to rotate. This allows the two clamping tables 903 to rotate synchronously and in the same direction, so that the angle of the two switch materials 5 can be finely adjusted. This will facilitate better processing of the switch materials 5 in conjunction with other mechanical equipment.

[0041] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
