Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material feeding platform technology, and more specifically, to a mobile modular intelligent multi-scenario conveyor line flexible material feeding platform. Background Technology

[0002] While existing flexible feeding equipment offers a degree of flexibility, its fixed focal length means that the camera cannot adjust to different product heights, leading to a significant decrease in positioning accuracy.

[0030] For an example, please refer to... Figures 1-4A mobile modular intelligent multi-scenario conveyor flexible feeding platform includes a mobile modular structure 23 and a double-layer conveyor line 18 located on one side of the mobile modular structure 23. A support frame 16 is installed on the double-layer conveyor line 18, and a lifting structure is installed on the support frame 16. A visual inspection camera 17 is installed on the lifting structure.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the double-layer conveyor line 18 includes a second conveyor 182, on which a first conveyor 181 is installed. A support frame 16 is installed on the first conveyor 181. The first conveyor 181 is used to recycle empty trays, and the second conveyor 182 is used to convey blister trays fully loaded with materials, which significantly improves production capacity and space utilization.

[0033] The visual inspection camera 17 uses a high-precision camera to identify the position and posture of the material, guiding the robot body 15 to grasp the material.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the movable modular structure 23 includes a movable modular platform, on which a robot body 15 is mounted, and a suction cup tool is provided on the robot body 15.

[0035] Furthermore, the suction cup tool is a vacuum suction cup.

[0036] Furthermore, the mobile modular platform includes: a moving and fixed mechanism, a main frame, a control unit, an execution unit, input / output modules, and expansion interfaces.

[0037] Furthermore, the main frame includes a support frame 1, with lifting doors 12 on both the front and back of the support frame 1, and heat dissipation plates 9 installed on both the left and right sides of the support frame 1. The lifting doors 12 allow operators to easily inspect, maintain, and replace the components inside the support frame 1, while the heat dissipation plates 9 ensure air circulation inside the support frame 1, dissipating the heat generated by the equipment and preventing damage due to overheating, thus ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0038] Furthermore, the moving and fixing mechanism includes casters 2 and feet 3, both of which are installed at the bottom of the support frame 1. Positioning brackets 4 are provided on both sides of the support frame 1, and each of the two positioning brackets 4 is connected to a fixing plate 21, which is fixed to the side of the support frame 1. A handle 14 is also provided on the top of the support frame 1. The casters 2 allow the support frame 1 to be easily moved to different positions. The feet 3 can adjust the height of the support frame 1 and fix it when needed. The positioning brackets 4 and the fixing plate 21 can accurately fix the support frame 1 to the ground, ensuring the stability of the support frame 1 during operation. The handle 14 makes it convenient for operators to push or pull the support frame 1 to move.

[0039] Furthermore, the control unit includes a robot controller 6 and an electronic control board module 5 disposed within the support frame 1, and a robot teach pendant 11 disposed outside the support frame 1. The robot controller 6 is communicatively connected to the robot teach pendant 11, and the robot body 15 is connected to the robot controller 6. The electronic control board module 5 has a built-in PLC and is connected to an HMI device. The robot controller 6 and the electronic control board module 5 interact with each other via an internal bus or communication protocol. The robot controller 6 can control the robot body 15 to operate according to a predetermined program and path. The HMI device provides an interface for human-machine interaction, and operators can program and operate the robot body 15 through the robot teach pendant 11. The electronic control board module 5, the robot controller 6, the robot teach pendant 11, and the HMI device are all existing components, and their structures and principles are existing technologies, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0040] Furthermore, the execution unit includes a solenoid valve module 7, which is connected to the electronic control board module 5. The solenoid valve module 7 is also connected to the vacuum suction cup via a pneumatic pipeline. The solenoid valve module 7 can control the suction and release operations of the vacuum suction cup according to the instructions of the electronic control board module 5, thereby realizing the gripping and placement of materials.

[0041] The input / output module includes an output module 8 and an input module 10 respectively disposed on both sides of the support frame 1. The output module 8 and the input module 10 communicate with the PLC of the control board module 5, external sensors and HMI devices through a standardized interface. The output module 8 and the input module 10 are existing components, and their structure and principle are existing technologies, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0042] The expansion interface includes a connecting plate 13 mounted on the top of the support frame 1. The connecting plate 13 has multiple sets of mounting holes, and the robot body 15 is mounted on the top of the connecting plate 13. The robot body 15 is connected to the mounting holes on the connecting plate 13 by bolts, so that the robot body 15 can be disassembled and replaced, such as using a six-joint robot, a four-joint robot, or a combined module manipulator, thereby enabling different robots to rotate according to different scenarios, so that this application can be adapted to multiple scenarios.

[0043] The linear module 20 is a ball screw module driven by a servo motor, and its input end is connected to the PLC of the control board module 5 via a cable; the first conveyor 181 and the second conveyor 182 are driven by independent motors, respectively performing empty disk recycling and full-load material conveying, and their speeds are synchronously controlled by the PLC.

[0044] The PLC built into the electrical control board module 5 can be a Siemens S7-1200 series, supporting the EtherCAT communication protocol and featuring 16 digital inputs, 12 digital outputs, and 4 analog input interfaces.

[0045] The PLC is responsible for coordinating the following functions: controlling the start and stop of the motor and speed synchronization of the double-layer conveyor line 18; receiving the position feedback signal from the vision inspection camera 17; controlling the on / off of the pneumatic circuit of the solenoid valve module 7; and realizing human-machine interaction through the HMI device to display the equipment status and alarm information in real time.

[0046] The robot controller 6 uses an ABB IRC5 controller and interacts with the PLC via the Profinet protocol to achieve the following functions: receiving material coordinate data sent by the PLC; planning the motion trajectory of the robot body 15 to ensure grasping accuracy; and feeding back the operating status of the robot body 15 to the PLC.

[0047] In practice, taking a precision electronic assembly scenario as an example:

[0048] Move this application to the workstation next to the SMT placement machine. After adjusting the height of the foot cup 3, fix the positioning bracket 4 to the ground with expansion screws. The positioning bracket 4 is fixed to the fixing plate 21 with bolts.

[0049] When using blister packs for feeding, the second conveyor 182 supplies blister packs containing electronic components, and multiple blister packs are stacked together to form a stack, and the second conveyor 182 can store multiple stacks of blister packs; empty blister packs are placed on the first conveyor 181 and transported and recycled by the first conveyor 181.

[0050] If it is bulk material, the bulk material is placed directly on the second conveyor 182; that is, this application supports both bulk material and blister tray modes, which can meet the needs of multiple industries such as injection molding, die casting, and electronics, and can adapt to materials of different shapes.

[0051] The linear module 20 drives the lifting frame 19 to move up and down to adjust the height of the visual inspection camera 17 according to the actual situation. The robot body 15 uses a suction cup tool to grab components and place them on the PCB board according to the path.
