Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product sorting technology, and more specifically, to a mechanical material handling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of rapid development and transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the sorting and stacking of sheet products (including metal sheets, wood sheets, plastic sheets, glass sheets and other materials) has become a key link in improving production efficiency. These products are widely used in many industries such as construction, furniture, automobiles and electronics. Their sorting efficiency and accuracy directly affect the smoothness of downstream processing and product quality.

[0003] In modern automated production lines, material handling and positioning are crucial aspects of the production process. Traditional material handling methods, such as manual handling or the use of fixed-position robotic arms, suffer from low efficiency, poor flexibility, and potential damage to material surfaces. To address these issues, automated material handling mechanisms based on vacuum suction cups have become increasingly widely used. Vacuum suction cups adsorb materials by generating negative pressure, offering advantages such as non-contact operation, high adaptability, and minimal damage to material surfaces. However, the fixed position of the vacuum suction cups in existing automated material handling mechanisms is a significant drawback. Specifically, in traditional vacuum suction cup handling mechanisms, the suction cup position is often fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the shape and size of the material. When the material shape changes, the handling mechanism may fail to accurately adsorb the material, thus reducing production efficiency and accuracy. Therefore, we propose an improvement: a mechanical material handling mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0028] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0029] For an example, please refer to... Figures 1-4 The mechanical material handling mechanism includes: a support part, a drive part connected to the support part, a first connecting plate 610 connected to the drive part, and first support rods 611 fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the first connecting plate 610. A limiting groove 612 is provided on the first support rod 611, and a plurality of vacuum suction cup bodies 617 are movably arranged between the limiting groove 612 and the first support rod 611. By providing movable vacuum suction cup bodies 617, this application can adjust according to the shape of the material, meeting the usage requirements of materials of different shapes and sizes, and improving the practicality of this application.

[0030] Furthermore, a connector is provided between the vacuum suction cup body 617 and the limiting slide groove 612, which is used to connect the vacuum suction cup body 617 and the limiting slide groove 612.

[0031] Furthermore, the connecting component includes a limiting slider 618 slidably connected within the limiting groove 612. A fastening bolt 614 is threaded onto the limiting slider 618. A second connecting plate 615 is connected between the fastening bolt 614 and the vacuum suction cup body 617. After loosening the fastening bolt 614, the second connecting plate 615 can be pushed horizontally, thereby adjusting the horizontal position and angle of the transmission belt 607. After tightening the fastening bolt 614, the second connecting plate 615 can be clamped and fixed through the cooperation of the limiting groove 612 and the limiting slider 618, thereby fixing the position and angle of the vacuum suction cup body 617.

[0032] The second connecting plate 615 has an elongated opening 616 through which the fastening bolt 614 passes. The elongated shape of the opening 616 facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the vacuum suction cup body 617 and the elongated opening 616.

[0033] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a drive component mounted on the support unit. The drive component is connected to a second support plate 605. A cylinder 609 is connected to the second support plate 605. The cylinder 609 is connected to the top of the first connecting plate 610. The cylinder 609 can drive the first support rod 611 to rise and fall through the first connecting plate 610, thereby driving the vacuum suction cup body 617 to rise and fall.

[0034] Furthermore, the driving component includes two drive wheels 606 mounted on the support, and a drive belt 607 is connected between the two drive wheels 606. One side of the drive belt 607 is connected to the second support plate 605. During the rotation of the drive belt 607, it can drive the second support plate 605 to move.

[0035] Furthermore, a motor 608 is installed on the support, and the output shaft of the motor 608 is connected to one of the transmission wheels 606. The motor 608 can drive the transmission wheel 606 and the transmission belt 607 to rotate.

[0036] Furthermore, the support includes a first support plate 601, and the motor 608 and the transmission wheel 606 are all mounted on the first support plate 601. The first support plate 601 provides support for the motor 608 and the transmission wheel 606.

[0037] Furthermore, support seats 602 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the first support plate 601. Multiple second support rods 603 are fixedly connected between the two support seats 602. Sliding sleeves 604 are slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the second support rods 603. The sliding sleeves 604 are connected to the top of the second support plate 605. The support seats 602 can support the second support rods 603, and the second support rods 603 can support the second support plate 605 through the sliding sleeves 604.

[0038] Furthermore, a mounting plate 619 is installed on the top of the first support plate 601, and the mounting plate 619 is used for mounting the first support plate 601.

[0039] In use, the motor 608 drives the transmission wheel 606 and the transmission belt 607 to rotate. During the rotation of the transmission belt 607, the second support plate 605 moves horizontally to move the vacuum suction cup body 617 to the target area. When the vacuum suction cup body 617 reaches the target area, the cylinder 609 pushes the first connecting plate 610, the first support rod 611 and the vacuum suction cup body 617 to descend, so that the elongated opening 616 contacts the material and adsorbs the material. Then, the cylinder 609 drives the vacuum suction cup body 617 and the material to rise through the first connecting plate 610 and the first support rod 611. Then the transmission belt 607 rotates so that the vacuum suction cup body 617 places the material at the designated position.
