Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spring buckle rope threading technology, and more specifically, to a fully automatic spring rope threading device. Background Technology

[0002] Spring buckles are widely used accessories in the manufacturing of outdoor clothing such as rain jackets and bags. When threading spring cords through spring buckles, external force is usually required to press the limiting component to make the limiting hole flush with the threading hole, so that the spring cord can pass through.

[0003] However, when threading the spring rope, it needs to pass through one threading hole of the spring buckle and then bend back through the other threading hole. Current threading aids cannot effectively solve the bending and back-threading action of the spring rope, and often require manual assistance, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0007] The robotic arm mechanism includes a pickup component and a sensor disposed at the end of the robotic arm; the pickup component is used to pick up the spring buckle from the unloading mechanism, and can drive the spring buckle to rotate in coordination with the sensor to locate the thread hole of the spring buckle, and place the spring buckle on the positioning fixture;

[0008] The gripper mechanism includes grippers that can grip one end of the spring rope from the conveying mechanism and pull the spring rope out a certain length of spring rope segment along a first direction.

[0009] The rope threading mechanism includes two parallel hooks that can move along a second direction, pass through the threading hole to hook the spring rope segment, and retract to allow the spring rope to pass through the threading hole to achieve the buckling action.

[0010] Furthermore, the picking component is an electric suction cup used to pick up the spring buckle and rotate along its axis by the driving force of the first drive.

[0011] Furthermore, the sensor is a through-beam photoelectric sensor.

[0012] Furthermore, the gripper mechanism includes a bracket mounted on a second drive and capable of moving vertically under the drive of the second drive; the gripper is movably mounted on a first slide rail of the bracket along a first direction; and the conveying mechanism is located at one end of the bracket along the first direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism consists of two oppositely arranged wire pulleys.

[0016] Furthermore, the cutting mechanism is a hot cutting machine.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0018] This utility model provides a fully automatic spring rope fastening device. The device uses a robotic arm to pick up the spring rope and grip it onto a positioning fixture in a predetermined posture.

A cutting mechanism cuts the spring rope at an appropriate length. The gripper mechanism releases the spring rope, and under the continuous pulling of the hook, both ends of the cut spring rope pass through the threading hole, thus completing the fastening process.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] Example

[0028] Combination Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides a fully automatic spring rope buckle-threading device, including a feeding mechanism 1, a conveying mechanism 2 for conveying spring rope A, a cutting mechanism 3 located downstream of the conveying mechanism 2, and a pressing mechanism 4 for pressing the spring buckle C placed on the positioning fixture 13; it also includes a robotic arm mechanism 5, a gripper mechanism 6, and a rope-threading mechanism 7.

[0029] The robotic arm mechanism 5 includes a pickup component and a sensor 10 disposed at the end of the robotic arm 8; the pickup component is used to pick up the spring buckle C from the unloading mechanism 1, and can drive the spring buckle C to rotate in coordination with the sensor 10 to position the thread hole of the spring buckle C, and place the spring buckle C on the positioning fixture 13.

[0030] The gripper mechanism 6 includes a gripper 16, which can grip one end of the spring rope A from the conveying mechanism 2 and pull the spring rope A out a certain length of spring rope segment B in the first direction;

[0031] The rope threading mechanism 7 includes two parallel hooks 22, which can move along the second direction to pass through the threading hole to hook the spring rope segment B, and retract to allow the spring rope A to pass through the threading hole to achieve the buckling action.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the robotic arm 8 has multiple degrees of freedom, which can meet the action requirements of transporting the spring buckle C from the output end of the unloading mechanism 1 to the positioning fixture 13 of the spring buckle C. The picking component is an electric suction cup 9, which can adsorb the spring buckle C and rotate along its axis through the driving force of the first drive, so as to drive the spring buckle C to rotate. The sensor 10 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor 10, which is used to position the angle of the spring buckle C. That is, when the electric suction cup 9 drives the spring buckle C to rotate and the beam of the through-beam photoelectric sensor 10 passes through the thread hole of the spring buckle C, the electric suction cup 9 stops rotating, so as to achieve the positioning of the angle of the spring buckle C (that is, the axis of the thread hole is parallel to the second direction). Then the robotic arm 8 places the spring buckle C in this posture on the positioning fixture 13.

[0033] The pressing mechanism 4 includes a cylinder 11 and a pressure block 12 connected to the push rod of the cylinder 11; after the spring buckle C is placed on the positioning fixture 13, the cylinder 11 pushes the pressure block 12 down to press down the top of the spring buckle C so that the limiting hole and the threading hole coincide.

[0034] The gripper mechanism 6 includes a bracket 15 mounted on two second drives 14, which can move vertically under the drive of the second drives 14; the gripper 16 is movably mounted on a first slide rail 19 of the bracket 15 along a first direction by a fourth drive 17; and the gripper 16 is driven by a sixth drive 18 to perform a gripping action. The conveying mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 3 are located at one end of the bracket 15 along the first direction. The end of the first slide rail 19 away from the conveying mechanism 2 is the initial position of the gripper 16.

[0035] The rope threading mechanism 7 includes a second slide rail 23 arranged along a second direction, a third drive 24 arranged on the second slide rail 23, and two hooks 22 connected to the third drive 24, the front end of the hooks 22 being an upward-curved hook shape.

[0036] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a vibratory feeder for feeding the spring buckle C into the transmission channel with its face up, and a sequential feeding mechanism 25 disposed on the transmission channel to feed the spring buckle C one by one. The sequential feeding mechanism 25 includes a fifth drive 26, a first baffle 27, and a second baffle 28; the fifth drive 26 drives the first baffle 27 and the second baffle 28 to move back and forth on the transmission channel once, thus feeding one spring buckle C. The conveying mechanism 2 consists of two opposing wire feeding wheels 20, which have circumferential arc-shaped grooves for clamping the spring rope A. One of the wire feeding wheels 20 is driven to rotate by a seventh drive 21; the bottoms of the two wire feeding wheels 20 have meshing teeth, thereby achieving relative rotation and pushing the spring rope A for transmission. In this embodiment, the cutting mechanism 3 is a hot cutter to make the cut of the spring rope A flat.

[0037] The following describes the operation process of the fully automatic spring rope A-type buckle device:

[0038] The vibratory feeder transports the spring buckle C face up, while the sequential feeding mechanism 25 sequentially feeds each spring buckle C into the pick-up area; the wire feeder 20 transports a spring rope A that extends 1 cm beyond the hot cutter, and then the wire mechanical gripper 16 slides to one end near the wire feeder 20, clamps one end of the spring rope A and pulls it back to the initial position of the gripper 16 to pull out a spring rope segment B of a certain length;

[0039] The electric suction cup 9 on the robotic arm 8 picks up the spring buckle C from the area to be picked up and places the spring buckle C on the positioning fixture 13; during this process, the angle positioning of the spring buckle C is achieved by rotating the electric suction cup 9 and cooperating with the small through-beam photoelectric sensor 10; after the positioned spring buckle C is placed on the positioning fixture 13, the robotic arm 8 quickly returns to its original position.

[0040] The pressing mechanism 4 drives the pressing block 12 to press the spring buckle C so that the limiting hole and the threading hole coincide;

[0041] The hook 22 moves under the drive of the third drive 24, thereby passing through the two threading holes of the spring buckle C until the hook 22 is placed below the spring rope segment B;

[0042] The two second drives 14 move the bracket 15 downward so that the hook 22 completely hooks the spring rope segment B, avoiding the risk of the spring rope A coming off the hook during the process of the hook 22 hooking the rope through the Susou spring buckle C; the third drive 24 moves the hook 22 back, so that the spring rope A passes through the threading hole and stops at a suitable position (this position is determined by the staff's requirements for the length of the threaded spring rope A), to meet the customized length requirements of the threaded spring rope A.

[0043] The hot cutting machine cuts the spring rope A, the gripper 16 releases one end of the spring rope A, and the linear motor continues to drive the hook 22 to move back until both ends of the spring rope A are completely passed through the spring buckle C, thus completing the buckling operation.

[0044] Finally, the robotic arm 8 removes the spring buckle C, which is threaded onto the spring rope A.

[0045] The above operations complete the fully automated threading process of spring buckle C, including threading the rope and cutting it to a fixed length. This cycle can be repeated to continuously complete the threading operation.

[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
