Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In modern production processes, especially on automated production lines for small injection molded parts, the unloading and tray-stacking machine plays a crucial role. To ensure the correct positioning of items on the tray, the tray-stacking mechanism typically incorporates a drive unit on the vacuum suction cup to rotate the suction cup, which in turn rotates the product, thus aligning it correctly. Current technology requires a drive unit for each vacuum suction cup, resulting in high operating costs. Therefore, we propose an improvement to this design, offering a new tray-stacking mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that each vacuum suction cup currently requires a driving component, resulting in high operating costs.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides a tray-stacking mechanism to improve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] The application is as follows:

[0006] A tray-stacking mechanism includes a sixth support plate, on one side of which two fifth support plates are mounted. A first support plate and a second support plate located above the first support plate are connected between the two fifth support plates. Multiple connecting tubes are interlaced between the second support plate and the first support plate. Vacuum suction cups are connected to the bottom ends of the multiple connecting tubes. The multiple connecting tubes are divided into two groups, each group consisting of several connecting tubes. A driving component is connected between the second support plate and the two groups of connecting tubes.

[0007] The driving component includes a motor frame mounted on the side of the second support plate, a second motor mounted on the motor frame, the second motor connected to a third synchronous pulley, and a second synchronous pulley fixedly sleeved on several connecting pipes in each group, with a second synchronous belt drivingly connecting the third synchronous pulley and several second synchronous pulleys.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer surface of the connecting pipe is fitted with a connecting seat through a bearing, and a lifting component is provided between the connecting seat and the sixth support plate.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a positioning rod is inserted and connected to the connecting seat, and the two ends of the positioning rod are respectively connected to the first support plate and the second support plate.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the lifting component includes a first motor and a connecting plate mounted on the sixth support plate. A first synchronous pulley is connected to the output shaft of the first motor, and a first synchronous pulley is also connected to the connecting plate via a rotating shaft.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] In the scheme of this application:

[0019] To address the issue of high operating costs in existing technologies where each vacuum suction cup requires a separate drive unit, this application utilizes a second synchronous belt, a third synchronous pulley, and a second synchronous pulley to connect several connecting tubes in each group, allowing these connecting tubes to share a single second motor. Since the vacuum suction cups are mounted at the bottom of the connecting tubes, this design enables several vacuum suction cups to share a single drive unit, thereby reducing the number of drive units and lowering hardware procurement costs.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0031] 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.

[0032] For an example, please refer to... Figures 1-7 A tray-stacking mechanism includes a sixth support plate 1, on one side of which two fifth support plates 110 are mounted. A first support plate 102 and a second support plate 103 located above the first support plate 102 are connected between the two fifth support plates 110. Multiple connecting pipes 111 are interleaved between the second support plate 103 and the first support plate 102. Vacuum suction cups 113 are connected to the bottom ends of the multiple connecting pipes 111. The multiple connecting pipes 111 are divided into two groups, each group consisting of several connecting pipes 111. A driving component is connected between the second support plate 103 and the two groups of connecting pipes 111.

[0033] The driving component includes a motor frame 203 mounted on the side of the second support plate 103, a second motor 201 mounted on the motor frame 203, and a third synchronous pulley connected to the second motor 201. Each group of several connecting pipes 111 is fixedly fitted with a second synchronous pulley 2. A second synchronous belt 202 is used to drive the third synchronous pulley and the several second synchronous pulleys 2. This application can connect several connecting pipes 111 in each group together through the second synchronous belt 202, the third synchronous pulley, and the second synchronous pulleys 2, so that several connecting pipes 111 share one second motor 201. Since the vacuum suction cup 113 is installed at the bottom end of the connecting pipe 111, the design of several vacuum suction cups 113 sharing one driving component is realized. By reducing the number of driving components, the hardware procurement cost is reduced.

[0034] Furthermore, the drive component also includes several limiting wheels 204, which are all disposed on the second support plate 103. The limiting wheels 204 are in rolling connection with the outer surface of the second synchronous belt 202. The limiting wheels 204 can limit the second synchronous belt 202 to improve the contact surface between the second synchronous belt 202 and the second synchronous wheel 2, thereby ensuring the accuracy of transmission.

[0035] Furthermore, the top of the connecting tube 111 is connected to an airway interface 112, which is used to connect an airway.

[0036] Furthermore, a connecting seat 114 is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 111 through a bearing. A lifting component is provided between the connecting seat 114 and the sixth support plate 1. The lifting component can drive the connecting pipe 111 to rise and fall through the connecting seat 114, and thus drive the vacuum suction cup 113 to rise and fall.

[0037] Furthermore, a positioning rod 119 is inserted and connected to the connecting seat 114. The two ends of the positioning rod 119 are connected to the first support plate 102 and the second support plate 103 respectively. The positioning rod 119 can limit the connecting seat 114 to improve the stability of the connecting seat 114 during the lifting process.

[0038] Furthermore, the lifting component includes a first motor 107 and a connecting plate 106 mounted on the sixth support plate 1. A first synchronous pulley 108 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 107, and a first synchronous pulley 108 is also connected to the connecting plate 106 via a rotating shaft. A first synchronous belt 109 is connected between the two first synchronous pulleys 108, and one side of the first synchronous belt 109 is connected to the connecting seat 114. The first motor 107 can drive the connecting seat 114 to rise and fall through the first synchronous pulley 108 and the first synchronous belt 109, so that the connecting seat 114 can rise and fall through the connecting pipe 111 and the vacuum suction cup 113.

[0039] Furthermore, a groove 116 is provided on the sixth support plate 1, and a detection frame 115 is slidably connected in the groove 116. The detection frame 115 is connected to one side of the connecting seat 114, and the connecting seat 114 can drive the detection frame 115 to rise and fall when it is raised and lowered.

[0040] Furthermore, a support frame 117 is installed on the sixth support plate 1. Multiple sensors 118 are installed on one side of the support frame 117. The multiple sensors 118 are all located on the moving trajectory of the detection frame 115. The multiple sensors 118 cooperate with each other to detect the position of the detection frame 115, and then detect the position of the connecting seat 114, thereby realizing the detection of the height of the vacuum suction cup 113.

[0041] Furthermore, a third support plate 104 is installed on both sides of the top of the second support plate 103, and a fourth support plate 105 is connected between the tops of the two third support plates 104. The outer surface of the connecting pipe 111 passes through the fourth support plate 105, and the second synchronous pulley 2 is located between the second support plate 103 and the fourth support plate 105.

[0042] Furthermore, a robotic arm connector 101 is mounted on the top of the sixth support plate 1. The robotic arm connector 101 is provided with mounting holes and is used to connect with the robotic arm so as to drive the present application to move through the robotic arm.

[0043] A bracket 3 is installed on the side of the first support plate 102, and a blister tray positioning camera 301 is installed on the bracket 3. The blister tray positioning camera 301 is used to detect the position of the tray.

[0044] The process of using the tray-stacking mechanism provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0045] This application is used for traying bulk products, which are transported by a belt conveyor. A visual inspection camera for detecting the bottom of the products is placed between the belt conveyor and the tray.

[0046] Driven by a robotic arm, this application reaches the top of the belt conveyor. Vacuum suction cups 113 descend one by one, adsorb products, and then rise. The robotic arm moves the application to the vision inspection camera, which inspects the bottom of the product to confirm whether there are any defects and the angle of the product adsorbed by each vacuum suction cup 113. If there are defects, the defective products are placed in a special collection container, while normal products are moved to the top of the tray. The drive unit drives the connecting pipe 111 and the vacuum suction cups 113 to rotate, first aligning the first qualified product, then the vacuum suction cup 113 corresponding to the first qualified product descends and places the product in the tray. The drive unit starts again to align the second qualified product, and then the second qualified product is placed in the tray, and so on, to place the qualified products.
