[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3As shown, a segmented flow line is provided, including a frame 1, a first loading platform 2 and a second loading platform 2 slidably connected to the frame 1. The frame 1 is provided with a receiving area 11, a first unloading area 12 and a second unloading area 12. Materials are loaded into the receiving area 11 on the first loading platform 2 and the second loading platform 2 respectively. The first loading platform 2 can transport materials to the first unloading area 12, and the second loading platform 2 can pass through the first unloading area 12 and transport materials to the second unloading area 12. A first material frame 3 and a first material picking structure 4 are provided on the side of the first unloading area 12. The first material picking structure 4 can transfer materials located on the first loading platform 2 to the first material frame 3. A second material frame 3 and a second material picking structure 4 are provided on the side of the second unloading area 12. The second material picking structure 4 can transfer materials located on the second loading platform 2 to the second material frame 3. Specifically, it also includes a third loading platform 2 and a fourth loading platform 2 that are slidably connected to the frame 1. The frame 1 is also provided with a third unloading area 12 and a fourth unloading area 12. A third material frame 3 and a third material picking structure 4 are provided on the side of the third unloading area 12. A fourth material frame 3 and a fourth material picking structure 4 are provided on the side of the fourth unloading area 12. The receiving area 11, the first unloading area 12, the second unloading area 12, the third unloading area 12 and the fourth unloading area 12 are arranged in a straight line. The third loading platform 2 can transport materials to the third loading area, and the fourth loading platform 2 can transport materials to the fourth unloading area 12. The four unloading platforms reach the corresponding unloading area 12 at the same time. The sliding speed increases with the first loading platform 2, the second loading platform 2, the third loading platform 2 and the fourth loading platform 2. The unloading operation of a mold with four cavities is realized by using four sets of loading platforms 2.
[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, it also includes a first driving unit 21, a second driving unit 21, and an information processor (not shown in the figure). The first driving unit 21 can drive the first loading platform 2 to slide back and forth along the X-axis direction. The second driving unit 21 can drive the second loading platform 2 to slide back and forth along the X-axis direction. The receiving area 11 is provided with two starting point sensing plates 13. The first unloading area 12 and the second unloading area are respectively provided with ending point sensing plates (not shown in the figure). The first loading platform 2 is provided with a first proximity switch 22. The second loading platform 2 is provided with a second proximity switch 22. The first proximity switch 22 and the second proximity switch 22 are respectively electrically connected to the information processor. The first driving unit 21 and the second driving unit 21 are respectively electrically connected to the power supply through the information processor. Specifically, it also includes a third drive unit 21 and a third proximity switch 22 corresponding to the third loading platform 2, and a fourth drive unit 21 and a fourth proximity switch 22 corresponding to the fourth loading platform 2; the receiving area 11 is provided with four starting point sensing plates 13, which are staggered in the Y-axis direction. Further, the receiving area 11 is provided with four assembly blocks 14 arranged at equal intervals along the X-axis direction. The assembly blocks 14 are provided with four sets of equally spaced screw holes. The starting point sensing plate 13 is L-shaped and includes a connected horizontal section and a vertical section. The vertical section is used to cooperate with the proximity switch 22, and the horizontal section is provided with a waist-shaped hole for the screw to pass through. When the proximity switch 22 is blocked by the vertical section of the sensing plate, it transmits an electrical signal to the information processor, and the servo motor stops working, so as to achieve the effect of the four loading platforms 2 stopping at equal intervals in the receiving area 11; correspondingly, the structure and installation position (Y-axis) of the endpoint sensing plate of the four unloading areas 12 are the same as the structure and installation position (Y-axis) of the starting point sensing plate 13 of the corresponding unloading platform.
[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the first loading platform 2 has a first hollowed-out groove 23 arranged along the Y-axis, and the first proximity switch 22 is disposed in the first hollowed-out groove 23. The bottom of the second loading platform 2 has a second hollowed-out groove 23 arranged along the Y-axis, and the second proximity switch 22 is disposed in the second hollowed-out groove 23. The first proximity switch 22 and the second proximity switch 22 are staggered in the Y-axis direction. Specifically, the third loading platform 2 and the fourth loading platform 2 have the same structure as the first loading platform 2, the difference being the relative position of the proximity switch 22 and the hollowed-out groove 23 on the Y-axis. They also include a mounting bracket. The top of the hollowed-out groove 23 has screw holes. The mounting bracket is T-shaped. The bottom end of the mounting bracket is inserted into the hollowed-out groove 23 from top to bottom, and the end end is fixedly connected to the proximity switch 22. The top end of the mounting bracket is connected to the top of the hollowed-out groove 23 by screws.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the frame 1 is provided with a rack 15 along the X-axis. The rack 15 passes through the receiving area 11, the first unloading area 12, and the second unloading area 12. The first drive unit 21 and the second drive unit 21 are both servo motors. The output end of the servo motor is connected to a gear 24 that meshes with the rack 15 for transmission. In this embodiment, by adjusting the speed of four independent servo motors, they can reach the corresponding unloading area 12 in similar time intervals, thereby reducing waiting time and improving unloading efficiency.
[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the frame 1 is provided with a slide rail 16 along the X-axis. The slide rail 16 passes through the receiving area 11, the first unloading area 12, and the second unloading area 12. The first loading platform 2 and the second loading platform 2 are respectively provided with sliders 25 that slide in cooperation with the slide rail 16. The sliding cooperation between the sliders 25 and the slide rail 16 improves the stability of the loading platform 2 during sliding.
[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first loading platform 2 includes a base and a top seat. A support column is provided on the top of the base, and the top end of the support column is connected to the top seat. A space is provided between the base and the top seat for the installation of the first driving component 21. The first proximity switch 22 is mounted on the base. The second loading platform 2 has the same structure as the first loading platform 2. Specifically, it also includes a cable chain corresponding to the loading platform 2. The wires of the driving component 21 and the proximity switch 22 are threaded into the cable chain to prevent the wires from becoming tangled or knotted during operation.
[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 has first limiting blocks at both ends, and the base has second limiting blocks at both ends. Specifically, the frame 1 has limiting plates at both ends, the first limiting block is a cylindrical boss on the limiting plate, and the second limiting block has the same structure as the first limiting block. The limiting blocks are used to reduce the possibility of the material platform 2 detaching from the frame 1.
[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a support plate, which is disposed on the top of the top seat. Specifically, the support plate is fixed to the top of the top seat, and the support frame includes longitudinally and transversely arranged support rods, which form a rectangular shape. The transversely arranged support rods are fixed to the top by screws.
[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the first material handling structure 4 includes a multi-axis manipulator 41 and an end effector 42. The end effector 42 is connected to the multi-axis manipulator 41 at its connecting end and has a suction cup at its adsorption end that can act on the material. The second material handling structure 4 is the same as the first material handling structure 4. Specifically, the end effector 42 is a magnetic end effector 42, and the suction cup is an electromagnetic suction cup.
[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, it also includes an adjustment bracket 18, which is located beside the first material handling structure 4 and can fix the end effector 42. Specifically, each unloading area 12 is equipped with two end effectors 42. One end effector 42 is mounted on the multi-axis robot 41, and the other end effector 42 is placed on top of the adjustment bracket 18. When the production line needs to be changed, the suction cup orientation of the end effector 42 on the adjustment bracket 18, the spacing between adjacent suction cups, or the number of suction cups are adjusted to adapt to the suction work of the stamped parts punched out by the next mold. The effect of non-stop debugging is achieved by having one for backup and one for use. The structure and debugging principle of the end effector 42 are conventional technical means in this field, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
