Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical parts conveying technology, specifically a conveying structure for parts. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of industrial automated production, the transportation, inspection, and placement of parts are crucial links that directly affect production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Traditional parts conveying methods also have several problems: They often use simple structures like vibratory feeders or conveyor belts, which, while able to transport parts in an orderly manner, cannot detect surface defects, leading to defective products entering the production process and affecting finished product quality and production efficiency. Furthermore, parts are typically positioned directly at the end of the vibratory feeder, making them susceptible to deformation or scratches due to excessive impact force, or inaccurate positioning that makes it difficult for subsequent processes to accurately grasp them, reducing processing precision and equipment stability. In addition, the connections between processes largely rely on manual operation, which is not only time-consuming but also prone to collision damage during handling and transfer, increasing the defect rate.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a conveying structure for parts to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0046] The part conveying structure provided by this utility model, through the setting of a conveying vibration unit 3 and the synergistic action of the vibration base 4 and the conveying track 5, achieves orderly conveying of parts, effectively improving the stability and accuracy of conveying. The open portion of the conveying track 5 is equipped with a clamping plate 6 that can open or close, flexibly clamping or releasing parts, facilitating part positioning and release. The detection unit 11, composed of a light source assembly 12 and an image acquisition device 13, provides sufficient and uniform illumination for the parts at the detection station, ensuring clear and reliable image acquisition and timely identification of part defects or assembly abnormalities. The transfer suction head 14 reciprocates between the clamping plate 6, the detection area, and the mounting base 10, achieving fully automated connection of the part conveying, detection, and placement process, reducing manual intervention and improving handling efficiency. Furthermore, the recessed platform 2 structure on the workbench 1 effectively utilizes the equipment space and prevents large external particles or liquids from splashing onto key components such as the conveying vibration unit 3, ensuring stable equipment operation and extending service life. Meanwhile, the sinking platform 2 can reduce the interference of ambient light on the light source component 12, so that the light can be more concentrated and stable on the surface of the parts, further improving the accuracy and reliability of product quality inspection.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the vibration base 4 can be composed of a vibratory plate 401 and a straight vibrator 402, and the conveying track 5 is the conveying channel of the straight vibrator 402, so as to realize efficient and stable conveying of parts.

[0048] Among them, the clamping plate 6 can be opened or closed by a cylinder to achieve rapid and accurate clamping and release of parts.

[0049] Preferably, the front and rear ends of the pallet 6 are provided with a front opening 7 and a rear opening 8, respectively. The front opening 7 and the rear opening 8 are used to avoid interference between front and rear parts, ensure smooth and orderly part conveying, and improve conveying efficiency and the accuracy of inspection and handling.

[0050] The conveying structure used for this part also includes an adjustment component 9, which is located between the vibrating base 4 and the clamping plate 6. The adjustment component 9 is used to adjust the extension distance of the clamping plate 6. By flexibly adapting the size of the part to the adjustment component 9, it is possible to avoid the clamping plate 6 being too tight and damaging the surface of the part, and also to prevent the part from shifting due to being too loose, thus ensuring the quality of the part and the stability of the conveying in all aspects.

[0051] Specifically, the adjustment assembly 9 includes a guide rod 901 and a guide block 902. The guide rod 901 is positioned on the vibration base 4, and the guide block 902 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 901. The guide rod 901 and the guide block 902 are connected by fasteners, and a clamping plate 6 is located on the guide block 902. The guide rod 901 and the guide block 902 can precisely adjust the clamping plate 6 according to the arrangement size of the parts, avoiding excessive compression or loosening and displacement, reducing the risk of wear and deformation of the parts, ensuring orderly transportation of each part, and maintaining good condition in the transportation, inspection, and other stages.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cylinder is fixed on the guide block 902, and the clamping plate 6 is located at the driving end of the cylinder. The adjustment assembly 9 of this utility model adjusts the guide block 902 in the following steps: loosen the fasteners between the guide rod 901 and the guide block 902 so that the guide block 902 can slide freely on the guide rod 901; according to the size and arrangement requirements of the parts to be conveyed, manually or with the help of measuring tools, slide the guide block 902 along the guide rod 901 to a suitable position to accurately adjust the initial position of the clamping plate 6; after the position adjustment is completed, tighten the fasteners (screws) to firmly fix the guide block 902 in the set position of the guide rod 901, ensuring that the position of the clamping plate 6 is stable and without displacement when the cylinder drives the clamping plate 6 to open or close.

[0053] The conveying structure used for this part also includes an XZ-direction connecting assembly 15, which is disposed between the worktable 1 and the transfer suction head 14. The XZ-direction connecting assembly 15 is used to drive the transfer suction head 14 to reciprocate between the pallet 6, the illumination position of the light source assembly 12, and the mounting base 10 to transport the part. The XZ-direction connecting assembly 15 precisely drives the transfer suction head 14, realizing fast and accurate transport of parts, effectively improving production efficiency and quality.

[0054] The XZ-direction connection assembly 15 includes an X-direction drive source 1501 (such as a slide), a Z-direction drive source 1502 (such as a cylinder), and a rotary drive source 1503 (such as a cylinder). The positioning end of the X-direction drive source 1501 is located on the top surface of the worktable 1. The Z-direction drive source 1502 is located at the driving end of the X-direction drive source 1501, the rotary drive source 1503 is located at the driving end of the Z-direction drive source 1502, and the transfer suction head 14 is located at the rotary drive source 1503. The combination of the X, Z-direction and rotary drive sources 1503 enables the transfer suction head 14 to achieve multi-dimensional flexible movement and rotation, accurately adapt to each workstation, efficiently transfer parts, and improve production flexibility and efficiency.

[0055] Preferably, the top surface of the worktable 1 is provided with a chain belt 17, which connects the worktable 1 to the drive end of the X-axis drive source 1501. The chain belt 17 connects the worktable 1 to the drive end of the X-axis drive source 1501, which can transmit power smoothly and accurately, ensuring the smoothness and stability of parts handling.

[0056] The conveying structure used for this part also includes a Y-axis drive source 1504 (such as a cylinder), which is connected to the positioning end of the worktable 1 and the X-axis drive source 1501. The Y-axis drive source 1504 enables the conveying suction head 14 to have displacement capability in the Y-axis direction, expands its working space, can flexibly adapt to different layout workstations, and comprehensively improves the efficiency of part handling.

[0057] The conveying structure used for this part also includes a guide assembly 16, which is disposed on the top surface of the worktable 1. The guide assembly 16 is used to guide the X-axis drive source 1501 to slide along the Y-axis. The guide assembly 16 provides precise guidance for the Y-axis sliding of the X-axis drive source 1501, ensuring its smooth operation, accurate positioning, and reducing deviation.

[0058] Specifically, the guide assembly 16 includes a guide rail 1601 and a slider 1602. The guide rail 1601 is positioned on the top surface of the worktable 1, and the slider 1602 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 1601. The positioning end of the X-axis drive source 1501 is positioned on the slider 1602. The guide rail 1601 and the slider 1602 provide stable guidance for the X-axis drive source 1501, reducing running friction and shaking, ensuring precise and smooth sliding along the Y-axis, and ensuring accurate, stable, and efficient part handling path.

[0059] Preferably, the light source assembly 12 includes an aperture 1201 and a reflector 1202, and the image acquisition unit 13 is composed of a camera. When the transport head 14 moves directly above the aperture 1201, the reflective surface of the reflector 1202 is perpendicular to the part, and the camera is set directly above the aperture 1201 and at a specific angle (such as 45°-60°) to the reflective surface of the reflector 1202. This effectively captures the details of the part surface illuminated by the uniformly reflected light from the reflector 1202, while avoiding glare interference from direct light, ensuring the acquisition of high-definition, shadow-free part images.

[0060] The working process provided by this utility model is as follows: the part is placed on the vibration base 4 of the conveying vibration unit 3, and is conveyed in an orderly manner along the open part of the conveying track 5 through the coordinated action of the vibration plate 401 and the straight vibrator 402; the clamping plate 6 is driven by the cylinder to open or close in the open part to accurately clamp the part; the conveying suction head 14 is driven by the XZ direction connecting component 15, the Y direction driving source 1504 and the guide component 16 to move and rotate flexibly in the X, Y and Z directions, pick up the part from the clamping plate 6, and transport it to the light source component 12 for light position detection. The light source component 12 of the detection unit 11 provides uniform light, and the camera completes visual inspection by acquiring the image of the part; then it is placed on the mounting base 10.
