Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this solution without creative effort are within the protection scope of this solution.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment designs an eyeglass temple arrangement mechanism, including a fixed step seat 6, a step conveying mechanism 5, a temple material bin 21, a lifting mechanism 4, an outer shell 2, and other components.
[0024] There are multiple fixed step seats 6, which are arranged longitudinally. Each fixed step seat 6 has a multi-level fixed step surface on its upper part, and these surfaces are arranged laterally. On the fixed step seat 6, the further away the fixed step surface is from the temple hopper 21, the higher it is. Each level of the fixed step surface of the fixed step seat 6 is inclined to the horizontal plane, and the inclination direction of the fixed step surface is opposite to that of the temple hopper 21. When the eyeglass temple 1 is placed on the fixed step surface of the fixed step seat 6, the eyeglass temple 1 can slide along the inclination direction and then slide to the root of the fixed step surface.
[0025] The stepped conveying mechanism 5 includes a stepped pusher 52, a stepped telescopic cylinder 53, and multiple stepped push plates 51. These multiple stepped push plates 51 are alternately arranged with multiple fixed stepped seats 6. Each stepped push plate 51 has multiple stepped surfaces, and a stepped push plate 51 is positioned between adjacent fixed stepped surfaces of the fixed stepped seats 6. The stepped push plate 51's stepped surfaces are offset from the fixed stepped surfaces of the fixed stepped seats 6. The stepped push plate 51's stepped surfaces are also inclined to the horizontal plane, allowing the eyeglass temple 1 to slide along the inclined direction to the root of the stepped surface of the stepped pusher 52. On the stepped pusher 51, the further away from the eyeglass temple hopper 21 the stepped surface, the higher its height. The piston rod of the stepped telescopic cylinder 53 is connected to the stepped pusher 52, and all the stepped push plates 51 are connected to the stepped pusher 52. The stepped telescopic cylinder 53 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric cylinder. The lifting distance of the stepped pusher 51 is greater than the height difference between adjacent stepped surfaces of the fixed stepped seats 6. The push plate step surface and the fixed step surface can be collectively referred to as the step surface.
[0026] When the step telescopic cylinder 53 controls the tilting and lifting movement of the step pusher 52, all the step pushers 51 will also move up and down, allowing the temple 1 to be lifted by the step pushers 51 and slide onto another step surface of the fixed step seat 6. Specifically, when the temple 1 is on the first fixed step surface of the step pusher 51, the step pusher 51 rises, and the temple 1 will be lifted by the first step surface of the step pusher 51 until the first step surface is higher than the second fixed step surface. At this time, the temple 1 can slide along the tilting direction of the step surface to the root of the first step surface. Then, the step pusher 51 descends, making the second step surface lower than the second fixed step surface. At this time, the temple 1 can slide along the tilting direction of the step surface to the root of the second fixed step surface. This process is repeated, and because the width of the step surface is limited, the temple 1 can climb up one by one along the arrangement direction of the step surface.
[0027] The temple hopper 21 is located on one side of the step conveying mechanism 5 and is used to horizontally insert the temple 1. The bottom wall of the temple hopper 21 is inclined, and its inclination direction is the same as that of the step surface; so that the temple 1 in the temple hopper 21 can slide along the bottom wall of the hopper to the fixed step seat 6.
[0028] A lifting mechanism 4 is located between the step conveying mechanism 5 and the temple hopper 21, and is used to lift the temple 1 in the temple hopper 21 to the first fixed step surface of the fixed step seat 6. The lifting mechanism 4 includes a push-telescopic cylinder 41 and a push platform 42, which is connected to the piston rod of the push-telescopic cylinder 41. The lifting height of the push platform 42 is not less than the distance between the bottom wall of the temple hopper 21 and the first fixed step surface. After the push platform 42 descends, the upper platform surface of the push platform 42 is flush with or slightly lower than the bottom wall of the temple hopper 21, allowing the temple 1 in the temple hopper 21 to slide onto the platform surface. After the push platform 42 rises along the side wall of the temple hopper 21, its platform surface is not lower than the first fixed step surface of the fixed step seat 6. The inclination direction of the platform surface of the push platform 42 is the same as the inclination direction of the step surface, allowing the temple 1 on the platform surface to slide onto the first fixed step surface. The push-telescopic cylinder 41 can be an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0029] The fixed step seat 6, the step conveying mechanism 5, the temple hopper 21, and the lifting mechanism 4 are all housed inside the outer casing 2. A hopper cover is provided on the outer casing 2 above the temple hopper 21. The hopper cover can be opened to facilitate the insertion of the eyeglass temple 1.
[0030] A conveying rail frame 3 is provided on the lower side of the last fixed step surface of the fixed step seat 6. A conveying channel is provided on the conveying rail frame 3. The width of the conveying channel is greater than the thickness of the main body of the eyeglass temple 1, and the thickness of the hinge end of the eyeglass temple 1 is greater than the width of the conveying channel, so that the hinge end is supported by the conveying rail frame 3 and the main body of the eyeglass temple 1 hangs down naturally.
[0031] The conveyor rail 3 includes a U-shaped connector and two parallel conveyor side plates, a first conveyor side plate and a second conveyor side plate. The U-shaped connector connects the first and second conveyor side plates at their ends and is used to fix their relative positions. The gap between the first and second conveyor side plates forms the conveying channel. Under the vibration of a linear vibrator, the temple 1 can move along the conveying channel to facilitate subsequent processing equipment to grasp the temple 1.
[0032] The upper edge of the second conveying side plate is higher than the upper edge of the first conveying side plate. Under the vibration of the conveying rail frame 3, when the hinge end of the eyeglass temple 1 comes into contact with the second conveying side plate, the eyeglass temple 1 can be horizontally rotated, so that the hinge end of the eyeglass temple 1 can fall to the upper edge of the first conveying side plate.
[0033] A detection sensor 7 is embedded in the first step surface of the fixed step seat 6. The detection sensor 7 is used to detect the presence or absence of the eyeglass temple 1. When the first step surface of the fixed step seat 6 does not detect the eyeglass temple 1 within a set time, the PLC controller can control the alarm to sound.
[0034] The eyeglass temple arrangement mechanism and the conveyor rail 3 can be set up with two sets of mirror-symmetrical components, so as to arrange two different eyeglass temples 1 separately, thereby meeting the assembly requirements of one eyeglass with two eyeglass temples 1.
[0035] When in use, the eyeglass temple arrangement mechanism in this embodiment:
[0036] When the eyeglass temple 1 is manually placed into the eyeglass temple hopper 21, the eyeglass temple 1 will slide to the lifting mechanism 4 under the action of gravity, and then be pushed by the lifting mechanism 4 to the step conveying mechanism 5. The step conveying mechanism 5 will send out the eyeglass temple 1 one by one, and then drop it onto the conveying rail 3. On the conveying rail 3, the eyeglass temple 1 will rotate from a horizontal state to a vertical state.
[0037] The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation; it is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom remain within the scope of this technology.
