Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial automation technology, and more specifically, to a flexible automatic feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Key equipment in modern industrial automated production typically includes flexible automatic feeding machines. These machines utilize automation, flexible manufacturing, and visual recognition technologies to efficiently and accurately feed materials of various shapes, sizes, and materials. They generally consist of a flexible vibratory feeder, an industrial robot, a vision system, a hopper, and a control system. They enable automated continuous feeding, reducing the time spent on manual feeding and shortening the production cycle.

[0003] The working steps of an existing flexible automatic feeding machine are as follows: when the amount of material in the flexible vibrating plate is lower than the set value, the hopper automatically feeds material according to the set time. The flexible vibrating plate vibrates according to the set action to sort and distribute the material. The camera takes pictures, identifies the material in the correct posture, and provides its coordinate information. The robot arm picks up the material through the vacuum suction cup according to the coordinates given by the camera. Then the material is placed into the tray in sequence. The whole process realizes the automatic feeding, identification, grasping and placement of materials through the cooperation of various components.

[0004] Therefore, the above-mentioned camera is placed on top of the vibratory feeder. During use, the following problems exist: During the vibration of the vibratory feeder or the discharge of materials, the friction or collision of materials (especially powdery, granular or rough materials) will generate fine dust. This dust will float upward with the airflow and gradually settle on the surface of the camera lens. The dust on the lens surface will cause uneven light refraction, resulting in blurry, bright spots or shadows in the captured material images. In severe cases, it may obscure the details of the materials, making it impossible for the camera to accurately identify the posture or positioning coordinates of the materials, and also causing health hazards to the surrounding environment. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a flexible automatic feeding machine to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that dust generated during the operation of the vibratory feeder and the discharge of materials is easily deposited on the surface of the top camera lens, causing image distortion, affecting recognition accuracy, and polluting the environment and harming health.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flexible automatic feeding machine, including a feeding frame, a robotic arm set on the upper part of the feeding frame, a vacuum suction cup set on the robotic arm, a camera set on the top of the feeding frame, a vibrating plate set on the bottom of the feeding frame, a groove set in the vibrating plate, and a hopper set on one side of the feeding frame.

[0007] The dust extraction components include:

[0008] A concave frame is fixedly installed on the top of the vibratory feeder, and a discharge hole is provided at the horizontal end of the concave frame;

[0009] The concave ash removal rack has a concave structure and is set above the vibratory feeder. The openings of the concave rack and the concave ash removal rack face forward.

[0010] The first ash extraction hole is located on the inner side of the concave ash extraction frame;

[0011] An air pump is fixedly installed on one side of a concave frame.

[0012] Preferably, the ash extraction assembly further includes:

[0013] An air pump is fixedly installed at the front end of the vibratory feeder;

[0014] The air inlet is located on the front side wall of the vibratory plate and is connected to the air delivery end of the air pump.

[0015] Preferably, a pair of fixed frames are installed at the rear end of the concave frame, and a connecting frame is provided between the opposite sides of the pair of fixed frames. The left and right ends of the connecting frame are rotatably connected to electric push rods that are rotatably connected to the fixed frames. The moving end of the electric push rod is provided with a cover plate, which is made of transparent material. A discharge groove is opened at the bottom of the cover plate, and the cover plate is located inside the concave frame.

[0016] Preferably, the left and right ends of the concave frame are provided with lifting grooves, and lifting sliders are slidably connected in the lifting grooves. The cover plate is rotatably connected in the lifting slider. A lifting component is installed at the bottom of the lifting slider. A rotating rod is threadedly connected to the top of the rear end of the vibratory plate. The rotating rod is rotatably connected in the middle of the lifting component. Slide rail seats are installed on the left and right sides of the rear end of the cover plate. Ear seats are slidably connected in the slide rail seats. The moving end of the electric push rod is rotatably connected on the ear seats.

[0017] Preferably, the vibratory feeder has a folding groove, a baffle is installed below the concave ash extraction frame, the baffle is slidably connected inside the folding groove, and an expansion spring rod is installed at the lower corner of the concave ash extraction frame, the expansion spring rod is slidably connected inside the vibratory feeder.

[0018] Preferably, a first suction plate is installed on the top of the cover plate, and a first suction port is opened in the first suction plate. The left side of the first suction plate is connected to the air delivery end of the air pump through an air pipe.

[0019] Preferably, the cover plate is configured with an inclined structure on the concave frame.

[0020] Preferably, a second suction plate is installed inside the discharge trough on the cover plate, and a second suction port is opened inside the second suction plate. The rear side of the second suction plate is connected to the output end of the air pump through an air pipe.

[0021] Preferably, the first ash extraction hole, the first suction port, and the second suction port are all cone-shaped structures.

[0022] Preferably, the rear sidewall and the left and right sidewalls of the vibratory feeder are arranged in a conical shape.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0024] 1. This utility model sets up a fully enclosed cavity by setting an electric push rod to drive the cover plate and the concave dust extraction frame before the vibratory feeder starts. With the baffle linked by the expansion spring rod, the dust is confined to the vibratory feeder area, blocking the dust diffusion path to the camera lens. In addition, an air pump and an air extraction pump are set up to form a "blowing-suction" closed loop. The dust generated by the vibration is forced to be guided to the dust extraction hole and adsorbed by the gradually increasing negative pressure of the cone-shaped suction port, which reduces the dust accumulation rate on the lens and reduces the amount of dust diffusion in the working area.

[0025] 2. This utility model sets up a cover plate to form a semi-enclosed area at an incline. Combined with the conical sidewall of the vibrating disc to accelerate the airflow, the dust generated during material conveying is simultaneously captured by the first suction plate and the concave dust extraction frame, improving dust collection efficiency. Moreover, the second suction plate is activated by an independent solenoid valve at the moment of material discharge from the hopper, forming a local negative pressure in the discharge trough to intercept the initial dust at the source. When the height of the cover plate is adjusted, the expansion spring rod pushes the baffle to slide in the folding groove, dynamically compensating for the sealing gap. It can adapt to the dust removal needs of materials with different particle sizes without manual intervention, further improving the dust removal effect. Attached Figure Description

[0037] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0038] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a flexible automatic feeding machine, including a feeding rack 1 as a basic support structure, a robotic arm 12 mounted on the upper part of the feeding rack 1, and a vacuum suction cup 13 mounted on the robotic arm 12. Under the command of the control system, the robotic arm 12 moves flexibly with multiple degrees of freedom, and works with the vacuum suction cup 13 to accurately grasp, transport, and place materials. It can complete complex trajectory movements and uses vacuum suction to pick up materials. It is suitable for objects of various materials and shapes, and has a particularly good grasping effect on flat and lightweight materials. A camera 14 is mounted on the top of the feeding rack 1 to acquire images of the materials. Information is used to identify the shape, size, position, and posture of materials, providing visual feedback to the robotic arm 12 and guiding it to accurately grasp the materials. The bottom of the feeding rack 1 is equipped with a vibratory feeder 15, which uses vibration to arrange and transport materials in an orderly manner within the groove. This can adapt to different material characteristics and allow materials to be output in a suitable posture and position for easy subsequent grasping. The vibratory feeder 15 has a groove, and a hopper 16 is provided on one side of the feeding rack 1 to store materials and continuously replenish materials to the feeding rack 1 or the vibratory feeder 15, ensuring continuous operation of the feeding machine and reducing frequent manual feeding operations.

[0039] like Figures 3-4As shown, the dust extraction assembly 2 includes: a concave frame 20, which is fixedly installed on the top of the vibrating plate 15, with a discharge hole at the horizontal end of the concave frame 20 to guide the material out along a preset path; a concave dust extraction frame 21, which has a concave shape and is set above the vibrating plate 15, with the openings of the concave frame 20 and the concave dust extraction frame 21 facing forward, forming a semi-enclosed dust removal area. The forward-facing design is consistent with the material conveying direction, using airflow to gather the dust raised to the inside; a first dust extraction hole 22, which is set inside the concave dust extraction frame 21; and an air pump 23, which is fixedly installed on one side of the concave frame 20. The air pump 23 is electrically connected to an external controller and can automatically start and stop according to the feeder's workflow. The controller works with the air pump 23 to avoid ineffective energy consumption. A filtration system is installed on one side of the air pump 23 to filter the dust.

[0040] It should be noted that after the vacuum pump 23 is started, a negative pressure zone is formed at the first dust extraction hole 22 of the concave dust extraction frame 21. When the vibrating plate 15 conveys materials, dust is sucked into the hole and enters the filtration system through the air pipe. The purified air is discharged to prevent dust from floating upwards to the lens surface of the camera 14. At the same time, the dust extraction component 2 can reduce the dust concentration in the vibrating plate 15 area. The openings of the concave frame 20 and the concave dust extraction frame 21 face forward, which allows the vacuum suction cup 13 to pass through unobstructed when grabbing materials, and also blocks external airflow interference through the side plate. The direction is consistent with the material conveying direction, so there is no need to stop the machine for cleaning. It can be completely synchronized with the feeding process.

[0041] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the dust extraction assembly 2 also includes: an air pump 24, which is fixedly installed at the front end of the vibrating plate 15. The air pump 24 is electrically connected to an external controller and can adjust the air pressure and airflow intensity in real time according to the working conditions (such as dust concentration and vibration frequency) to achieve intelligent dust removal; and an air outlet 25, which is opened on the front side wall of the vibrating plate 15 and is connected to the air outlet end of the air pump 24.

[0042] It should be noted that after the air pump 24 is started, compressed air is ejected through the air outlet 25, forming a high-speed air curtain that flows along the contour of the vibrating plate 15. The direction of the air curtain is opposite to the dust diffusion path, forcibly guiding the raised dust to the dust suction area of ​​the concave dust collection frame 21, forming a "blowing-suction" linkage with the air pump 23. By actively intervening in the dust movement trajectory through airflow, the efficient capture and directional transportation of dust is achieved, the dust control capability is strengthened, the capture rate of fine dust is improved, the dust accumulation rate of the lens is reduced, the airflow distribution on the surface of the vibrating plate 15 is optimized, and the dead angle of eddy currents is eliminated.

[0043] like Figure 4As shown, a pair of fixed frames 211 are installed at the rear end of the concave frame 20. A connecting frame 212 is provided between the opposite sides of the pair of fixed frames 211. The left and right ends of the connecting frame 212 are rotatably connected to electric push rods 213 that are rotatably connected to the fixed frames 211. The electric push rods 213 are electrically connected to an external controller. The pair of fixed frames 211 serve as the fixed base for the electric push rods 213 and the connecting frame 212 to ensure structural stability. A cover plate 214 is provided at the moving end of the electric push rod 213. The cover plate 214 is made of transparent material. The electric push rod 213 is used to lift and flip the cover plate 214. A discharge chute is provided at the bottom of the cover plate 214 for material discharge and transportation. The cover plate 214 is located inside the concave frame 20.

[0044] It should be noted that when the vibratory feeder 15 needs to vibrate, the external controller sends a command to extend the electric push rod 213, pushing the cover plate 214 to flip upward from inside the concave frame 20 until the top of the cover plate 214 fits against the edge of the concave ash collection frame 21, forming a closed cavity structure. At this time, the dust generated by the vibration of the material in the vibratory feeder 15 is confined in the closed space and can only be absorbed by the air pump 23 through the first ash collection hole 22 on the inner side of the concave ash collection frame 21. The electric push rod 213 is linked with the start and stop signal of the vibratory feeder 15. Before the vibratory feeder 15 starts, the cover plate 214 automatically flips and closes. After the vibratory feeder 15 stops, the cover plate 214 resets and opens the discharge chute.

[0045] After the closed structure is formed, the dust generated by vibration is guided to the inside of the concave dust extraction frame 21 by the airflow. Together with the air curtain sprayed from the front end of the vibrating plate 15 by the air pump 24, a dust control closed loop of "top sealing and bottom blowing" is formed, which forces the dust to gather in the first dust extraction hole 22. After the vibrating plate 15 is closed, the internal airflow is more stable, which avoids the dust from forming turbulence in front of the lens of the camera 14 and reduces the frequency of dust accumulation on the lens.

[0046] It is worth noting that the cover plate 214 is made of opaque material (such as brushed stainless steel or engineering plastic). The camera 14 can take pictures of the material normally through the cover plate 214 without affecting the operation of the camera 14, ensuring stable contrast of the captured image, and further reducing the amount of dust emission. At the same time, when the cover plate 214 is in the closed state, its discharge chute allows the hopper 16 to discharge material normally.

[0047] like Figures 6-7As shown, the concave frame 20 has lifting grooves 215 at both ends, and a lifting slider 216 is slidably connected in the lifting grooves 215. The cover plate 214 is rotatably connected in the lifting slider 216. A lifting component 217 is installed at the bottom of the lifting slider 216. Through sliding cooperation, the cover plate 214 is ensured to move smoothly in the vertical direction during the lifting process, avoiding misalignment of the discharge chute caused by left and right swaying, and ensuring the accuracy of the material conveying path. A rotating rod 218 is threadedly connected to the top of the rear end of the vibratory plate 15. A rotating cap is installed on the rotating rod 218. By manually twisting the rotating cap, the rotating rod 218 is driven to rotate. The rotating rod 218 is raised and lowered along the axis by the thread transmission principle, thereby driving the lifting component 216. 7 and cover plate 214 move synchronously to achieve manual adjustment of the gap. Rotating rod 218 is rotatably connected in the middle of lifting component 217. Lifting component 217 has a concave structure. Slide rail seats 219 are installed on the left and right sides of the rear end of cover plate 214. Ear seats 2191 are slidably connected in the slide rail seats 219. The moving end of electric push rod 213 is rotatably connected on ear seats 2191. Electric push rod 213 drives cover plate 214 to rotate through ear seats 2191 and slide rail seats 219. Slide rail seats 219 provide sliding guide for ear seats 2191 to ensure that the driving force of electric push rod 213 can be smoothly transmitted to cover plate 214, and the extension and retraction of electric push rod 213 is not affected during the lifting and lowering adjustment of cover plate 214.

[0048] By manually twisting the rotating cap and rotating rod 218, the rotating rod 218 is raised and lowered along the axis of the vibrating plate 15. The lifting component 217 drives the lifting slider 216 to slide in the lifting groove 215, thereby synchronously adjusting the vertical height of the cover plate 214. Specifically, when the material particle size is large, rotating the rotating rod 218 clockwise raises it, and the cover plate 214 moves upward with the lifting component 217, increasing the gap between the discharge chute and the vibrating plate 15 to prevent large particles from getting stuck. If the material particle size is small, rotating the rotating rod 218 counterclockwise lowers the height of the cover plate 214 to prevent small materials from leaking or accumulating. This allows for adjustment according to the size of the material, resulting in more precise dust handling.

[0049] like Figures 7-8 As shown, the vibratory feeder 15 has a folding groove 221, and a baffle 222 is installed below the concave ash extraction frame 21. The baffle 222 is slidably connected inside the folding groove 221. An expansion spring rod 223 is installed at the lower corner of the concave ash extraction frame 21, and the expansion spring rod 223 is slidably connected inside the vibratory feeder 15.

[0050] When the cover plate 214 is adjusted to different heights, by releasing the spring potential energy of the expansion spring rod 223, the cover plate 214 can remain in contact with the concave ash removal frame 21, and the baffle 222 still forms a semi-closed area on the folding groove 221, so that the baffle 222 can automatically compensate for the gap error caused by the change in the height of the cover plate 214.

[0051] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a first suction plate 231 is installed on the top of the cover plate 214. A first suction port is opened in the first suction plate 231. The left side of the first suction plate 231 and the air delivery end of the air pump 23 are connected by an air pipe.

[0052] After the vacuum pump 23 is started, a negative pressure is formed at the suction port of the first suction plate 231 through the air pipe. Dust (such as fine particles) generated by the vibrating plate 15 during the material conveying process is sucked into the first suction port by the air flow and enters the collection system of the vacuum pump 23 through the air pipe. The closed structure formed by the first suction plate 231, the concave dust collection frame 21 and the cover plate 214 further restricts the diffusion range of dust.

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cover plate 214 is configured as an inclined structure on the concave frame 20.

[0054] The cover plate 214 is inclined on the concave frame 20 to form an asymmetrical closed space. This inclination angle (usually 15° to 30°, depending on the material characteristics and equipment size) guides the air to form a directional flow path above the vibratory plate 15 and continue to absorb it inside the first suction plate 231, improving the dust suction effect, reducing dust contamination of the camera 14 lens, and reducing the spread of dust to the working area.

[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rear sidewall and the left and right sidewalls of the vibratory plate 15 are arranged in a cone shape.

[0056] The conical arrangement on the side wall of the vibratory feeder 15 can guide the material to converge towards the center of the concave dust extraction frame 21, reducing the dust diffusion range. At the same time, the slope of the conical surface is used to accelerate the airflow and enhance the dust extraction efficiency of the dust extraction component 2.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, limit plates 232 are installed at both ends of the cover plate 214.

[0058] The setting of the limiting plate 232 helps to limit the dust and gather the dust along the direction of the first suction plate 231, thereby further improving the dust suction effect.

[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 , Figure 9As shown, a second suction plate 241 is installed inside the discharge trough on the cover plate 214. A second suction port is opened inside the second suction plate 241. The rear side of the second suction plate 241 is connected to the output end of the air pump 24 through an air pipe, and is electrically connected to the outside through an independent solenoid valve. The second suction plate 241 is controlled by an independent solenoid valve and can be started synchronously at the moment of material discharge from the hopper 16 to achieve real-time capture of dust in the discharge trough.

[0060] After the air pump 24 is started, a high-speed airflow is generated at the suction port of the second suction plate 241 through the air pipe, forming a local negative pressure zone. The initial dust generated when the material falls from the hopper 16 into the vibrating plate 15 is partially captured by the negative pressure field of the second suction plate 241. The second suction port is usually designed to be downstream of the material, where the airflow turbulence is large and the dust is easy to spread, thus enhancing the capture effect. Then, the concave dust extraction frame 21 on the cover plate 214 and the first suction plate 231 are responsible for handling the large-scale dust above the vibrating plate 15, and localized intensified dust treatment is carried out in different areas to improve the intensified treatment of dust.

[0061] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the first ash extraction hole 22, the first suction port, and the second suction port are all cone-shaped structures.

[0062] The cone-shaped structure, with its large inlet and small outlet design, creates a gradually increasing negative airflow pressure at the suction inlet, effectively adsorbing dust and reducing clogging, thus improving dust removal efficiency.

[0063] The working principle is as follows: This is used in a flexible automatic feeding machine. During use:

[0064] Vibratory feeder 15 causes materials to be arranged in an orderly manner in the groove through vibration, and output through the discharge hole of concave frame 20. Robotic arm 12 grabs materials through vacuum suction cup 13, and camera 14 identifies material characteristics in real time and provides visual feedback.

[0065] After the vacuum pump 23 is started, a negative pressure is formed through the first suction port of the first suction plate 231. At the same time, the air pump 24 sprays a high-speed air curtain through the air delivery hole 25, forming an airflow on the surface of the vibrating plate 15 that is opposite to the dust diffusion path. The two work together to guide the dust to the first dust extraction hole 22 of the concave dust extraction frame 21. The cover plate 214 is installed at an angle on the concave frame 20, forming a semi-closed area with the concave dust extraction frame 21 facing forward. The opening direction is consistent with the material conveying direction.

[0066] Before the vibratory feeder 15 is started, the electric push rod 213 extends and pushes the cover plate 214 to flip upward and fit against the edge of the concave dust extraction frame 21 to form a closed cavity at the top. The electric push rod 213 is linked with the start and stop signal of the vibratory feeder 15. The air curtain sprayed from the front end of the air pump 24 and the negative pressure of the extraction pump 23 form a "top sealing and bottom blowing" closed loop. The dust generated by the vibration is confined in the closed space and can only be adsorbed through the first dust extraction hole 22.

[0067] At the moment of material discharge from hopper 16, the independent solenoid valve activates the second suction plate 241, and its second suction port forms a local negative pressure in the discharge trough. The dust generated by the falling material is first captured by the second suction plate 241, and the dust that is not captured is then handled by the first suction plate 231 and the concave dust extraction frame 21. After the material discharge is completed, the solenoid valve closes.

[0068] Manually twisting the rotating rod 218 drives the lifting component 217 and the cover plate 214 to rise and fall vertically through the threaded transmission, adjusting the gap between the discharge chute and the vibrating plate 15. When the height of the cover plate 214 changes, the expansion spring rod 223 releases potential energy to push the baffle 222 to slide in the folding groove 221, forming a dynamic semi-enclosed area with the inclined cover plate 214 and the concave dust collection frame 21. The inclined cover plate 214 guides the air to form a directional flow path, and the limiting plate 232 assists the dust to gather towards the first suction plate 231. The conical sidewall of the vibrating plate 15 accelerates the airflow towards the area of ​​the concave dust collection frame 21.
