Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive component assembly equipment, and in particular to an automotive glass pad feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive glass spacers are auxiliary accessories used to fix and support automotive glass (such as windshields, side windows, etc.). They are usually installed between the automotive glass and the vehicle frame to provide cushioning, positioning, and sealing.

[0003] During the glass pad loading process, the glass pads need to be arranged in a specific position so that external equipment such as robotic arms can accurately grip them for the next process. To ensure the consistency and stability of the glass pad loading position, current methods mostly rely on manual placement. This manual operation is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also prone to inaccurate placement, hindering accurate gripping by robotic arms. Therefore, to improve loading efficiency, automated handling and loading equipment can be used for loading and transportation. However, it is essential to ensure the consistency and stability of the glass pad loading position to facilitate accurate positioning and gripping by external equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive glass pad feeding device. Through the combined action of the material belt feeding cylinder and the pad feeding cylinder, multiple pads can be arranged in a regular manner on the material belt. After the lifting cylinder and pressure plate clamp the material belt, the material belt is driven by the translation module to feed the pads one by one. This helps external equipment to clamp and move the materials, and can improve the clamping accuracy and material moving efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an automotive glass pad feeding device, comprising a machine base, and:

[0006] The feeding mechanism includes a support, a material belt feeding cylinder, and a pad feeding cylinder. Both the material belt feeding cylinder and the pad feeding cylinder are rotatably mounted on the support. The pad feeding cylinder has a first limiting groove on its periphery for receiving the material belt, and a second limiting groove for receiving the pad within the first limiting groove. The pad feeding cylinder rotates to press the pad located in the second limiting groove against the material belt fed by the material belt feeding cylinder and located in the first limiting groove.

[0007] The material transfer mechanism includes a translation module, a mounting plate, a lifting cylinder, and a pressure plate. The mounting plate is located at the output end of the translation module and has a pressure plate on it. The lifting cylinder is located on the mounting plate and has a pad at its output end. The pad is driven to clamp the material strip fed by the feeding mechanism with the pressure plate, and the translation module drives the material strip to move horizontally.

[0008] The unloading platform is set on the machine platform to support the material belt fed by the material transfer mechanism.

[0009] As a further optimization, the feeding mechanism also includes multiple guide wheels mounted on the support to guide and tension the material belt.

[0010] As a further optimization, the feeding mechanism also includes a pressure application component, which is disposed on the machine platform and is at least partially embedded in the first limiting groove to abut against the material belt, and pushes the material belt to abut against the pad block in the second limiting groove.

[0011] As a further optimization, the pressure application component includes a support rod, a connecting rod, a pressure roller, and an elastic element. The pressure roller is rotatably mounted on the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is hinged to the support rod on the machine base. One end of the elastic element is connected to the machine base, and the other end pulls the connecting rod to embed the pressure roller into the first limiting groove.

[0012] As a further optimization, the material transfer mechanism also includes a support component, which includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate disposed on the vertical plate. The vertical plate is disposed on the mounting plate, and the horizontal plate is located between the material cylinder on the pad block and the pad block to support the material belt. This can support the material belt and the pad block, effectively ensuring the stability of both during the feeding and translation process.

[0013] As a further optimization, the pressure plate is provided with a clearance groove for the passage of the pad block; the clearance groove is provided with a guide surface on the side near the material cylinder of the pad block.

[0014] As a further optimization, the support includes a first rod and a second rod, both of which are mounted on the machine platform. The feed cylinder on the conveyor belt is mounted on the first rod, and the feed cylinder on the pad block is mounted on the second rod.

[0015] As a further optimization, the second rod body is provided with a longitudinal adjustment groove, a locking block is provided in the longitudinal adjustment groove, a bearing is provided in the locking block, and the material cylinder on the pad is disposed in the bearing. By adjusting the position of the locking block on the longitudinal adjustment groove, the height of the material cylinder on the pad on the second rod body can be easily adjusted.

[0016] As a further optimization, sensors are provided on the unloading platform.

[0017] As a further optimization, the automotive glass pad loading device also includes a take-up cylinder, which is set on the machine platform and located next to the unloading platform for winding up the material strip, facilitating effective recycling of the material strip.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. Through the combined action of the feed cylinder on the conveyor belt and the feed cylinder on the pad block, multiple pad blocks can be arranged in a regular manner on the conveyor belt. After the lifting cylinder and the pressure plate clamp the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt drives the pad blocks to be fed one by one through the translation module. The regular arrangement of the pad blocks helps the external equipment to clamp and move them, which can improve the clamping accuracy and moving efficiency.

[0020] 2. In a particular embodiment, by partially embedding the pressure component into the first limiting groove, the material strip can be made to fit tightly with the pad and be turned to achieve feeding, which can also help to turn the pad from a vertical state to a horizontal state.

[0028] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, an automotive glass pad feeding device includes a machine base 10, a feeding mechanism 20, a transferring mechanism 30, and a discharging platform 40. The feeding mechanism 20 includes a support 21, a material belt feeding cylinder 22, and a pad feeding cylinder 23. Both the material belt feeding cylinder 22 and the pad feeding cylinder 23 are rotatably mounted on the support 21. The material belt feeding cylinder 22 is used to feed the material belt 101, and the pad feeding cylinder 23 is used to feed the pad 100. The side wall of the pad feeding cylinder 23 is provided with a first limiting groove 2301 for accommodating the material belt 101, and a second limiting groove 2302 for accommodating the pad 100 is provided within the first limiting groove 2301. The pad feeding cylinder 23 rotates to feed the pad located in the second limiting groove 2302. The material strip 101 fed by the feeding cylinder 22 and located in the first limiting groove 2301 is attached to the material strip 101. The material transfer mechanism 30 includes a translation module 31, a mounting plate 32, a pressure plate 33 and a lifting cylinder 34. The translation module 31 can be an electric cylinder. The mounting plate 32 is set at the output end of the translation module 31 and is provided with the pressure plate 33. The lifting cylinder 34 is set on the mounting plate 32 and is provided with a pad 341 at the output end. After the pad 341 is driven to move upward, it clamps the material strip 101 fed by the feeding mechanism 20 with the pressure plate 33 and drives the material strip 101 to move horizontally by the translation module 31. The unloading platform 40 is set on the machine base 10 to support the material strip 101 fed by the material transfer mechanism 40 and the pad 100.

[0030] In this invention, the strip 101 is fed by the upper feed cylinder 22, but the upper feed cylinder 22 cannot rotate independently to feed the strip 101. The feeding of the strip 101 (i.e., the rotation of the upper feed cylinder 22) is achieved by the translation module 31 driving the strip 101 to translate. Specifically, during the feeding process, the strip 101 is embedded in the first limiting groove 2301 of the upper feed cylinder 23 to ensure accurate positioning. The feeding of the strip 101 can drive the upper feed cylinder 23 to rotate. The pads 100 are sequentially placed in the second limiting groove 2302 of the upper feed cylinder 23. The pads 100 abut against and adhere to the strip 101 under their own weight and as they rotate with the upper feed cylinder 23. Therefore, after the strip 101 rotates around the upper feed cylinder 23 and detaches from it, it can serve as a carrier. Multiple spacers 100 are arranged in sequence, and the positional relationship between the spacers 100 and the material strip 101 is determined by the positional relationship between the second limiting groove 2302 and the first limiting groove 2301. Preferably, the second limiting groove 2302 is formed in the middle of the first limiting groove 2301, that is, the spacers 100 are arranged in the middle of the material strip 101, and a regular arrangement is formed between the spacers 100 and the material strip 101, as well as among the multiple spacers 100. Since the material strip 101 is clamped by the pad 341 and the pressure plate 33 at the output end of the lifting cylinder 34, the mounting plate 32 is driven by the translation module 31. The movement of the components on the conveyor belt 101 can drive the conveyor belt 101 to translate, thus realizing the translation of multiple pads 100 on the conveyor belt 101. At the same time, the pulling action of the conveyor belt 101 causes the rotation of the material cylinder 22 on the conveyor belt and the material cylinder 23 on the pads. The conveyor belt 101 is moved to the unloading platform 40 for support by the translation module 31. External robotic arms and other equipment can conveniently and accurately position and grab a pad 100 on the conveyor belt 101. Preferably, the unloading platform 40 is equipped with a sensor. After a pad 100 is grabbed, the translation module 31 then drives the conveyor belt 101 to move. The movement of the conveyor belt 101 allows the next pad 100 to be fed after being sensed by the sensor, facilitating the gripping of the external robotic arm. When the translation module 31 moves the pressure plate 33 and the lifting cylinder 34 to a position close to the unloading platform 40, the lifting cylinder 34 moves the pad 341 down to reset and disengage from the conveyor belt 101, thus preventing the conveyor belt 101 from being clamped. The translation module 31 can then move the pressure plate 33 and the lifting cylinder 34 back to a position close to the material cylinder 23 on the pad to clamp the conveyor belt 101 carrying the pad 100 again.

[0031] This invention utilizes the combined action of the feed cylinder 22 on the conveyor belt and the feed cylinder 23 on the pad block to arrange multiple pad blocks 100 in a regular manner on the conveyor belt 101. After the conveyor belt 101 is clamped by the lifting cylinder 34 and the pressure plate 33, it is driven by the translation module 31 to feed the pad blocks 100 one by one. The regular arrangement of multiple pad blocks 100 helps external equipment (such as robotic arms) to clamp and move them, which can improve the clamping accuracy and moving efficiency, and facilitate the use of subsequent processes.

[0032] Preferably, the feeding mechanism 20 also includes a plurality of guide wheels 24 disposed on the bracket 21. After the material belt 101 passes around the guide wheels 24, it is tightened and eventually moves downward so that it can be guided again by the pad feeding cylinder 23 and enter the material transfer mechanism 30 in a horizontal state.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the feeding mechanism 20 also includes a pressure component 25, which is disposed on the machine base 10 and is at least partially embedded in the first limiting groove 2301 to abut against the material belt 101, and pushes the material belt 101 to abut against the pad 100 in the second limiting groove 2302. The setting of the pressure component 25 can further ensure the fit between the pad 100 and the material belt 101, and the pressure component 25 is disposed on the side and below the material cylinder 23 on the pad, which helps to adjust the pad 100 from a vertical state to a horizontal state consistent with the feeding direction of the material belt 101.

[0034] Specifically, the pressure application component 25 includes a support rod 251, a connecting rod 252, a pressure roller 253, and an elastic element 254. The pressure roller 253 is rotatably mounted on the connecting rod 252, which is hinged to the support rod 251 on the machine base 10. The elastic element 254 can be a spring, with one end connected to the machine base 10 and the other end pulling the connecting rod 252 to embed the pressure roller 253 into the first limiting groove 2301. The pressure roller 253 rolls against the material belt 101, which can reduce the friction when the material belt 101 is fed. Furthermore, the pressure roller 253 abuts against the material belt 101 (material cylinder 23 on the pad block) through the pulling action of the elastic element 254, rather than being tightly pressed against it, which can also reduce the feeding resistance of the material belt 101.

[0035] Preferably, the material transfer mechanism 30 further includes a support assembly, which includes a vertical plate 351 and a horizontal plate 352 disposed on the vertical plate 351. The vertical plate 351 is disposed on the mounting plate 32, and the horizontal plate 352 is located between the material cylinder 23 on the pad and the pad plate 341 to support the material belt 101. The support of the horizontal plate 352 can prevent the material belt 101 from being unable to maintain a horizontal state due to the downward pressure (gravity) of the pad 100.

[0036] In addition, the pressure plate 33 is provided with a clearance groove 330 for the passage of the pad 100. The clearance groove 330 is provided with a guide surface 3301 on the side near the pad upper cylinder 23. This can prevent the pressure plate 33 from touching the pad 100 and causing the pad 100 to be inaccurate when the translation module 31 drives the pressure plate 33 to move towards the pad upper cylinder 23.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, the support 21 includes a first rod 211 and a second rod 212. Both the first rod 211 and the second rod 212 are disposed on the machine base 10. The feed cylinder 22 on the feed belt is disposed on the first rod 211, and the feed cylinder 23 on the pad block is disposed on the second rod 212.

[0038] Specifically, the second rod 212 is provided with a longitudinal adjustment groove 2120, a locking block 2121 is provided in the longitudinal adjustment groove 2120, a bearing 2122 is provided in the locking block 2121, and the rotating shaft 230 of the pad upper material cylinder 23 is set in the bearing 2122. By adjusting the position of the locking block 2121, the height of the pad upper material cylinder 23 can be adjusted, which facilitates adjusting the material belt 101 fed by the pad upper material cylinder 23 and the pad 100 to be in a horizontal state, and adjusting the force between the pad upper material cylinder 23 and the pressure roller 253.

[0039] In addition, the automotive glass pad material feeding device also includes a take-up cylinder 50, which is set on the machine base 10 and located next to the unloading platform 40 for winding and taking up the material strip 101. When the pad 100 on the material strip 101 is gripped by an external robot, the unloaded material strip 101 can be guided and tightened by the roller 501 and then wound and recycled by the take-up cylinder 50, which can be reused. It should be noted that the take-up cylinder 50 can be wound autonomously, and its rotation is coordinated with the movement of the translation module 31.

[0040] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
