Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of parts production equipment, specifically a material feeding and assembly equipment for automotive parts. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive parts assembly and loading equipment is mainly used to transport the parts required for production to the assembly station in an orderly manner, ensuring the continuous operation of the production line. It is a key piece of equipment for automated production in the automotive manufacturing industry.

[0003] Existing automotive parts assembly and loading equipment typically consists of a support frame, a conveying mechanism, etc. Its working principle is as follows: the operator places the pallet loaded with parts at the starting end of the conveying mechanism, the motor drives the conveying mechanism to transport the pallet to the assembly station, ensuring that the robotic arm can accurately grasp the parts.

[0004] The existing automotive parts assembly and loading equipment has the following drawbacks: Most existing loading equipment adopts a semi-automatic or fixed track conveying structure, which makes it difficult to realize the autonomous transfer of material pallets from the trolley to the loading station. In addition, it lacks a linkage mechanism with the recycling station and cannot complete the fully automated closed loop of "loading-unloading-recycling". This results in frequent shutdowns during the production process, waiting for manual intervention, low production efficiency and insufficient stability, which seriously affects the continuous operation capability of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing automotive parts assembly and loading equipment, a new type of automotive parts assembly and loading equipment is proposed.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: An automotive parts assembly and loading device of this utility model includes a frame, on which a loading station and a recycling station are provided. A feeding channel is provided on the side of the frame near the recycling station, through which a trolley for loading and recycling can enter. A conveying mechanism is provided on the frame for moving a material pallet on the trolley to the loading station, and the conveying mechanism can be raised and lowered by a driving device. The loading station includes a lifting claw driven by the driving device, and the recycling station includes a lifting plate driven by the driving device for recycling the material pallet. A gripping mechanism is provided on the frame for grabbing an empty material pallet above the loading station to the recycling station for recycling, and the gripping mechanism includes a gripping suction cup driven by the driving device.

[0007] Preferably, the frame is provided with a correction mechanism at the loading station for limiting the material tray at the loading station, and the correction mechanism includes a correction frame driven by a drive device.

[0008] Preferably, the trolley is provided with a tray base, and the tray base has a through groove for the lifting claw to pass through.

[0009] Preferably, the lifting plate is provided with a support block, and the bottom end of the tray base is provided with a positioning groove that matches the support block.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This utility model provides an automotive parts assembly and loading equipment. Through the coordinated design of the conveying mechanism and the lifting claw, the transfer of material pallets from the trolley to the loading station can be completed without manual intervention. With the gripping mechanism and the lifting plate and pallet structure of the recycling station, a closed-loop automated process of "loading-unloading-recycling" is formed, which significantly reduces the frequency of manual handling, reduces labor intensity and labor costs, and avoids efficiency fluctuations and safety hazards caused by manual operation. The intelligent assembly and loading system fundamentally improves the automation level and production efficiency of automotive parts production, and provides efficient and reliable hardware support for modern intelligent manufacturing.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-6The present invention discloses an automotive parts assembly and loading device, comprising a frame 1, wherein a loading station 2 and a recycling station 3 are provided on the frame 1, and a feeding channel 4 is provided on the side of the frame 1 near the recycling station 3, through which a trolley 5 for loading and recycling can enter. A conveying mechanism 7 is provided on the frame 1 for moving a material tray 6 on the trolley 5 to the loading station 2, and the conveying mechanism 7 can be raised and lowered by a drive device. The loading station 2 includes a lifting claw 201 driven by the drive device, and a tray base is provided on the trolley 5. The pallet base 9 has a through slot 10 for the lifting claw 201 to pass through. The recycling station 3 includes a lifting plate 1201 driven by a driving device for recycling the material pallet 6. The lifting plate 1201 is provided with a support block 1202. The bottom end of the pallet base 9 is provided with a positioning slot 901 that matches the support block 1202. The frame 1 is provided with a gripping mechanism 11 for gripping the empty material pallet 6 on the loading station 2 to the recycling station 3 for recycling. The gripping mechanism 11 includes a gripping suction cup 1101 driven by a driving device.During operation, before the assembly of automotive parts, workers move a trolley 5 loaded with multi-layer material pallets 6 along the feeding channel 4 of the frame 1 to a designated position. The trolley 5 can be pushed manually or by using an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) robot to achieve automated material transportation. The material pallets 6 are stacked on a pallet base 9, which serves as a load-bearing and transfer component. In the initial state, the top surface of the conveyor belt of the conveyor mechanism 7 is lower than the pallet base 9. The lifting drive device of the conveyor mechanism 7 is a lifting cylinder, but not limited to lifting cylinders. After the lifting drive device is started, it drives the conveyor belt to rise vertically. When the top surface of the conveyor belt contacts the bottom of the pallet base 9, the two sets of conveyor belts symmetrically distributed on both sides of the pallet base 9, by means of friction generated by synchronous operation, stably lift the pallet base 9 and the material pallets 6 stacked on it, and transport them horizontally at a constant speed to the loading station 2. After the stacked material pallets 6 arrive at the loading station 2, the lifting claw 201 is driven by a lifting slide. The platform, but not limited to the lifting slide, is driven by the lifting slide. The lifting claw 201 first passes through the through groove 10 of the pallet base 9 and reaches the bottom of the material pallet 6. Then it continues to rise, lifting the entire stack of material pallets 6, so that the topmost material pallet 6 is precisely at the preset gripping height of the robotic arm on the frame 1. At the same time, the pallet base 9 separates from the material pallet 6. The pallet base 9, still on the conveyor belt, moves back along the original path to the recycling station 3 under the reverse movement of the conveyor belt. The lifting plate 1201 and the support block 1202 on the receiving station 3 are raised and lowered stably under the drive of the drive slide. The initial height of the support block 1202 is lower than that of the pallet base 9. When the pallet base 9 returns to the receiving station 3, the drive slide drives the lifting plate 1201 to rise, so that the support block 1202 is inserted into the positioning groove 901 below the pallet base 9. The two sets of lifting plates 1201 support the pallet base 9 from both sides to ensure that it remains horizontal and stable during the rising process until the pallet base 9 reaches the set height of the recycling material pallet 6.

[0024] After the robotic arm on frame 1 completes the gripping of the raw materials in the uppermost material tray 6 at the loading station 2, the gripping mechanism 11 starts working under the drive of the drive slide. The drive slide, through multi-axis linkage, enables the gripping mechanism 11 to move flexibly in the horizontal and vertical directions, precisely positioning the gripping suction cup 1101 above the empty material tray 6. The gripping suction cup 1101 is connected to an external vacuum device, forming a negative pressure suction inside the suction cup to adsorb and fix the empty material tray 6. Then, the drive slide drives the gripping mechanism 11 and the empty material tray 6 to rise and move horizontally to the recycling station 3, accurately placing the empty material tray 6 on the tray base 9 "waiting" at the recycling station 3. At this time, the lifting slide at the loading station 2 again drives the lifting claw 201 to lift the stacked material trays 6 above it. The material pallet 6 containing the raw materials at the top is moved to the correct gripping height of the robotic arm on the frame 1. Based on the above principle, the loading and recycling of material pallet 6 is repeated. As empty material pallets 6 are continuously stacked on the pallet base 9 at the recycling station 3, the drive slide continuously drives the support block 1202 to move down synchronously with the pallet base 9, always maintaining sufficient recycling space above the pallet base 9. When the pallet base 9 is full of empty material pallets 6, the staff pushes the trolley 5 to move under the pallet base 9, and the drive slide drives the pallet base 9 to descend, so that it rests steadily on the trolley 5. The staff can then move the trolley 5 full of empty material pallets 6 away, or the AGV handling robot can automatically complete the handling task. This completes a full loading and recycling cycle.

[0025] Through the design and coordination of the automotive parts assembly and feeding equipment of this utility model, the entire process of material pallet 6 from feeding, loading and recycling is fully automated, which greatly reduces manual intervention, lowers labor costs and labor intensity, effectively avoids production accidents caused by human operation errors, ensures the safety and stability of the production process, and improves the overall production efficiency of automotive parts assembly.

[0026] Furthermore, the frame 1 is equipped with a correction mechanism 8 at the loading station 2 to limit the material pallet 6 at the loading station 2. The correction mechanism 8 includes a correction frame 801 driven by a drive device. During operation, when the conveying mechanism 7 transports the stacked material pallet 6 to the loading station 2 and raises the material pallet 6 to a preset height, the drive device of the correction mechanism 8 is activated. The drive device, such as a cylinder, drives the correction frame 801 to move horizontally, so that it quickly moves to the periphery of the material pallet 6 located above the loading station 2 and about to be gripped by the robotic arm. When the correction frame 801 moves into position, it contacts the side of the material pallet 6 and limits the material pallet 6. The correction mechanism 8 is provided with two sets located on both sides of the material pallet 6 to ensure that the material pallet 6 is in the optimal position for the robotic arm to grip, providing a reliable guarantee for the robotic arm to accurately grip the raw materials of the parts and improving the accuracy and reliability of the automotive parts assembly loading equipment.
