Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a transfer device based on an end cap fixture, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A transfer device based on an end cap fixture includes a conveying mechanism, a handling mechanism, and a flipping mechanism.

[0007] The conveying mechanism is used to transfer the end cap fixtures one by one to the end position;

[0008] The handling mechanism is located above the conveying mechanism and includes a handling component and a transfer station. The handling component adsorbs the conveying mechanism located on the conveying mechanism and transfers it to the transfer station, and then resets it.

[0009] The flipping mechanism is located on the side of the conveying mechanism and includes a second motion component, a flipping component, and a second adsorption component. The second adsorption component is located on the flipping component. The second motion component moves the entire flipping component. At the same time, the second adsorption component is used to adsorb the end cap fixture located on the transfer station in a vertical direction. Then, it moves to the designated station through the second motion component. Under the flipping action of the flipping component, the end cap fixture adsorbed by the second adsorption component is flipped 90 degrees. After the end cap fixture is deflected, it is carried. Then, the flipping mechanism is reset to prepare for the next set of transfer seats.

[0010] Furthermore, a flow channel for the transfer of end cap fixtures is formed in the middle of the conveying mechanism, and a material distribution component is provided on the side of the flow channel, so that the material distribution component can separate adjacent sets of end cap fixtures during transfer.

[0011] Furthermore, a material blocking mechanism is provided at the end of the conveying mechanism to block the end cap fixture in the transmission state, thereby forming a sequential transmission.

[0012] Furthermore, the material distribution assembly includes a micro-motion cylinder at the rear end and a stop lever at the front end. The stop lever is inserted from the side where the flow channel is located, thereby separating two adjacent sets of end cap fixtures located on the flow channel.

[0013] Furthermore, the conveying component includes a first adsorption component and a first motion component, wherein the first motion component enables the first adsorption component to reciprocate in the flow channel of the conveying mechanism and in the area where the transfer station is located.

[0014] Furthermore, the first motion component enables the first adsorption component to move in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0015] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a flipping panel and a flipping motor. A second adsorption assembly is provided on the front end face of the flipping panel for adsorbing the end cap fixture. Subsequently, the end cap fixture is flipped 90 degrees by the flipping motor located on the rear end face of the flipping panel.

[0016] Furthermore, the second motion component enables the flipping component to move in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. The flipping mechanism used in this device can simultaneously transfer and flip the end cap fixture after transfer without the need for additional flipping equipment, thus saving the entire operation process and improving the overall transfer efficiency.

[0019] 2. The conveying mechanism used in this device can effectively convey the end cap fixture parts, and through the setting of the material separation structure, it can separate the end cap fixture parts of two adjacent groups to avoid them being squeezed together, which facilitates the effective alignment of the first adsorption component on the handling mechanism to pick up and transfer the end cap fixture parts.

[0020] 3. The transfer station used in this device can transfer the end cap fixtures that have been transferred to their positions as a whole, freeing up space in the flow channel. This allows the end cap fixtures on the flow channel to continue feeding during the material handling process of the flipping mechanism, without affecting each other, thus further improving the transfer efficiency of the end cap fixtures.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a transfer device based on an end cap fixture, including a conveying mechanism 1, a handling mechanism 2, and a flipping mechanism 3.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, a flow channel 101 for transferring end cap fixture parts is formed in the middle of the conveying mechanism 1 (the width of the flow channel 101 can only accommodate the width of a single end cap fixture part), and a material distribution component 11 is provided on the side of the flow channel 101, such as... Figure 4As shown, the material distribution assembly 11 separates two adjacent sets of end cap fixtures during transport. The material distribution assembly 11 includes a micro-motion cylinder 111 at the rear end and a stop bar 112 at the front end. The stop bar 112 is inserted from the side where the flow channel 101 is located, separating two adjacent sets of end cap fixtures located on the flow channel 101. This stop bar 112 does not contact the conveyor belt below the flow channel 101, but it blocks the end cap fixtures located above. In actual use, along the transport direction of the flow channel 101, after the end cap fixtures move into place, the stop bar 112 is extended sequentially, and then the end cap fixtures are input again, repeating this process until the number of end cap fixtures carried at the end of the flow channel 101 meets the transport requirements.

[0032] A baffle mechanism 12 is provided at the end of the conveying mechanism 1 to block the end cap fixtures in the transmission state, forming a sequential transmission. When the station where the material distribution component 11 is located is fully loaded, the baffle mechanism 12 will block the flow channel 101 as a whole, blocking the end cap fixtures from continuing to be transmitted.

[0033] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the conveying mechanism 2 is located above the conveying mechanism 1 and includes a conveying component 21 and a transfer station 22. The conveying component 21 adsorbs the conveying mechanism 1 located on the conveying mechanism 1 and transfers it to the transfer station 22. At this time, the conveying component 21 includes a first adsorption component 211 and a first motion component 212. The first motion component 212 realizes the movement of the first adsorption component 211 in the horizontal and vertical directions and realizes the reciprocating movement of the first adsorption component 211 in the flow channel 101 of the conveying mechanism 1 and the area where the transfer station 22 is located. When the conveying mechanism 1 carrying the end cap fixture arrives at its destination, the first adsorption component 211 moves to above the end cap fixture under the action of the first motion component 212, and then presses down until the first adsorption component 211 adsorbs the end cap fixture. Then the whole assembly is lifted so that the end cap fixture is detached from the flow channel 101. Finally, under the transfer action of the first motion component 212, the whole assembly is transferred to the transfer station 22 for carrying. At this time, the material distribution component 11 located on the side of the flow channel 101 is also reset to prepare for the next batch of incoming materials.

[0034] like Figure 7As shown, the flipping mechanism 3 is located on the side of the conveying mechanism 1, and includes a second motion component 31, a flipping component 32, and a second adsorption component 33. The second adsorption component 33 is located on the flipping component 32. The second motion component 31 realizes the overall movement of the flipping component 32, that is, movement in the vertical and horizontal directions. At the same time, the second adsorption component 33 is used to vertically adsorb the end cap fixtures carried on the transfer station 22. Then, it is moved to the designated station by the second motion component 31 (that is, horizontal movement is realized). Under the flipping action of the flipping component 32, the end cap fixtures adsorbed by the second adsorption component 33 are flipped 90 degrees (that is, the end cap fixtures originally in the vertical direction are flipped to the side position). After the end cap fixtures are deflected, they are carried (a separate device is set below for carrying the end cap fixtures in the side position). Then the flipping mechanism 3 is reset to prepare for the next set of transfer seats.

[0035] At this time, the flipping assembly 32 includes a flipping panel 321 and a flipping motor 322. The second adsorption assembly 33, which is located on the front end face of the flipping panel 321, is used to adsorb the end cap fixture. Then, the end cap fixture is flipped 90 degrees by the flipping motor 322 located on the rear end face of the flipping panel 321. The overall operation is convenient and can simultaneously flip multiple sets of end cap fixtures, thus improving production efficiency.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
