Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cup preparation devices, specifically to a dual-station fully automatic cup handle installation fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Because the smooth surface of a thermos cup is not conducive to gripping, a handle is usually added to the cup to make it easier to hold. The handle is usually fixed to one side of the cup by a fastener. Traditionally, the cup was manually fixed and then the handle was attached one by one. This manufacturing method can no longer keep up with the current fast production pace.

[0003] Existing screw assembly fixtures are basically single installation units. Each unit requires completing the entire process of fixing, feeding, and installation, resulting in pauses in the installation cycle and limiting processing efficiency. Therefore, achieving highly efficient, fully automated production of cups with handles is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a fully automatic cup handle installation fixture with two workstations.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A dual-station cup handle fully automatic installation fixture includes a worktable with two processing stations opposite each other. Each processing station has a positioning mechanism, and a feeding mechanism is located between the two processing stations. The feeding mechanism includes a gasket feeding mechanism and a screw feeding mechanism. The gasket feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder, a reversing mechanism, and a gasket gripper. The outlet of the vibratory feeder is connected to the reversing mechanism to transfer gaskets. The reversing mechanism adjusts the direction of the gaskets by reciprocating rotation. The gasket gripper is movably mounted above the two processing stations via a first transfer mechanism to move one gasket to one processing station with each movement. The screw feeding mechanism includes a screw gripper, a hopper, and a fastening motor. The screw gripper and fastening motor are slidably mounted on a second transfer mechanism and move synchronously. The screw gripper inserts a screw into a gasket with each movement, and the fastening motor drives the screw to rotate and fasten it.

[0007] Preferably, the reversing mechanism includes a positioning block and a rotary cylinder. The positioning block is provided with a material receiving groove that connects with the discharge port of the vibratory feeder. The positioning block is positioned above the rotary cylinder and is driven by the rotary cylinder to rotate 90° to complete the reversing of the pad.

[0008] Preferably, the reversing mechanism further includes a fine-tuning module, on which the rotary cylinder is disposed. The fine-tuning module consists of two vertically connected linear cylinders to adjust the front-back and left-right directions of the positioning block.

[0009] Preferably, the first transplanting mechanism includes a first linear motor mounted on the workbench, a first slider slidably mounted on the first linear motor, and a first lifting cylinder fixed to one side of the first slider. The pad gripper is located at the bottom of the gripper cylinder, and the gripper cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the first lifting cylinder so as to drive it to move up and down relative to the pad. The gripper cylinder controls the pad gripper to grasp the pad.

[0010] Preferably, the second transplanting mechanism includes a second linear motor mounted on the workbench, a second slider slidably mounted on the second linear motor, and a second lifting cylinder disposed on one side of the second slider. The locking motor is disposed at the bottom of the second lifting cylinder via a connecting block to move up and down synchronously with the screw gripper.

[0011] Preferably, the hopper is connected to the screw gripper via a connecting pipe so that screws are blown into the end of the screw gripper one by one.

[0012] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a product positioning component and a cup handle positioning component. The product positioning component is disposed on the worktable and is used to place the product. The cup handle positioning component is stacked on the product positioning component and is used to place the cup handle.

[0013] Preferably, the product positioning member has a recessed groove that matches the outer contour of the product. One end of the product positioning member is a fixed end, and the other end is a movable pressure block that moves to abut against the end of the product to confine the product within the product positioning member.

[0014] Preferably, the cup handle positioning component includes two clamping arms disposed at the front end of the moving cylinder. The two clamping arms are symmetrically arranged relative to the center line of the product positioning component and move relative to each other to form a gripper that can hold the cup handle, thereby confining the cup handle above the product.

[0015] Preferably, the positioning mechanism further includes an adjusting cylinder, the product positioning component is disposed on the adjusting cylinder, and the adjusting cylinder drives the product positioning component and the cup handle positioning component to move back and forth synchronously relative to the screw gripper to align with the screw gripper.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are mainly reflected in:

[0017] 1. Two processing stations are set up to switch between using a single feeding mechanism, so that each unidirectional translation of the gasket feeding mechanism and the screw feeding mechanism can be docked with a processing station for feeding, avoiding reciprocating movement and improving processing cycle time and efficiency.

[0018] 2. A rotatable reversing mechanism is set in the gasket feeding mechanism to adjust the direction of the gasket to match the gasket placement direction in the processing stations on both sides, so that the gasket gripper only needs to pick up the gasket without adjusting the direction, simplifying the steps and avoiding errors.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments are not limited to the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional modifications made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] In the description of the solution, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience and simplification of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Also, in the description of the solution, with the operator as a reference, the direction closer to the operator is the proximal end, and the direction farther from the operator is the distal end.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model discloses a fully automatic cup handle installation fixture with two workstations, including a worktable 1. Two processing stations are arranged opposite each other on the worktable 1. Each processing station is equipped with a positioning mechanism. A feeding mechanism is arranged between the two processing stations. The feeding mechanism includes a gasket feeding mechanism and a screw feeding mechanism. The gasket feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder 2, a reversing mechanism, and a gasket gripper 3. The outlet of the vibratory feeder 2 is connected to the reversing mechanism to transmit gaskets 100. The reversing mechanism adjusts the gasket 100 by reciprocating rotation. In the direction of the entire gasket 100, the gasket gripper 3 is movably set above the two processing stations through the first transfer mechanism, so that a gasket is transferred to a processing station by each movement; the screw feeding mechanism includes a screw gripper 4, a hopper, and a fastening motor 401. The screw gripper 4 and the fastening motor 401 are both slidably set on the second transfer mechanism and move synchronously. The screw gripper 4 inserts a screw into a gasket 100 by each movement, and then the fastening motor 401 drives the rotation to fasten the screw.

[0028] This solution sets up two processing stations and uses a single feeding mechanism for switching between them. This allows each unidirectional translation of the gasket feeding mechanism and the screw feeding mechanism to dock with a processing station for feeding, avoiding reciprocating movements and improving processing cycle time and efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, the reversing mechanism includes a positioning block 5 and a rotary cylinder 6. The positioning block 5 is provided with a material picking groove 501 that connects with the discharge port of the vibratory feeder 2, allowing the vibratory feeder 2 to directly transfer the pad 100 into the material picking groove 501. The positioning block 5 is positioned above the rotary cylinder 6 and is driven by the rotary cylinder 6 to rotate 90° to complete the reversing of the pad 100. This structure allows for quick adjustment of the direction of the pad 100 to match the placement direction of the pads in the processing stations on both sides, so that the pad gripper 3 only needs to pick up the pad 100 without further direction adjustment, simplifying the process and avoiding errors.

[0030] Furthermore, the reversing mechanism also includes a fine-tuning module 7, on which the rotary cylinder 6 is mounted. The fine-tuning module 7 consists of two vertically connected linear cylinders to adjust the front-back and left-right directions of the positioning block 5. The fine-tuning module 7 can adjust the front-back and left-right positions of the positioning block 5 so that the material receiving groove 501 is directly opposite the discharge port of the vibrating plate 2 to receive the pad 100.

[0031] The first transplanting mechanism includes a first linear motor 801 mounted on the workbench 1, a first slider 802 slidably mounted on the first linear motor 801, and a first lifting cylinder 803 fixed to one side of the first slider 802. A pad gripper 3 is located at the bottom of the gripper cylinder 301, which is driven by the first lifting cylinder 803 to move up and down relative to the pad 100. The gripper cylinder 301 controls the pad gripper 3 to grasp the pad 100. The pad gripper 3 moves linearly along the first linear motor 801, and each unidirectional movement can dock with a processing station to load the pad 100.

[0032] Similarly, the second transplanting mechanism includes a second linear motor 901 mounted on the workbench 1, a second slider 902 slidably mounted on the second linear motor 901, and a second lifting cylinder 903 disposed on one side of the second slider 902. The locking motor 401 is disposed at the bottom of the second lifting cylinder 903 via a connecting block to move up and down synchronously with the screw gripper 4.

[0033] In this solution, the hopper (not shown in the figure) is effectively located below the workbench 1. The hopper is connected to the screw gripper 4 through a connecting pipe so that screws are blown into the end of the screw gripper 4 one by one, thereby enabling the screw gripper 4 to grasp the screws.

[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the positioning mechanism includes a product positioning component 10 and a cup handle positioning component 11. The product positioning component 10 is disposed on the workbench 1 and is used to place the product; the cup handle positioning component 11 is stacked on the product positioning component 10 and is used to place the cup handle.

[0035] Specifically, the product in this solution is preferably a cup. The product positioning member 10 is recessed to form a receiving groove that matches the outer contour of the product. One end of the product positioning member 10 is a fixed end, and the other end is a movable pressing block 1001 that moves to abut against the end of the product to limit the product within the product positioning member 10.

[0036] The cup handle positioning component 11 includes two clamping arms 1102 disposed at the front end of the moving cylinder 1101. The two clamping arms 1102 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center line of the product positioning component 10 and move relative to each other to form a gripper that can hold the cup handle, thereby limiting the cup handle to the top of the product and aligning it with the center line of the cup, thus achieving alignment between the cup handle and the cup. The cup handle is provided with a limiting groove for accommodating the gasket 100.

[0037] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism also includes an adjusting cylinder 12, on which the product positioning component 10 is mounted. The adjusting cylinder 12 drives the product positioning component 10 and the cup handle positioning component 11 to move back and forth relative to the screw gripper 4 to align with the screw gripper 4, thereby ensuring that the gasket gripper 3 and the screw gripper 4 can move the gasket 100 and the screw 4 to the required positions by translation.

[0038] The workbench 1 is also equipped with control buttons for controlling the processing station and the feeding mechanism, and an operation screen for displaying the progress.

[0039] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] S1, the product is confined within the product positioning component 10, the cup handle is confined within the cup handle positioning component 11, and the vibratory feeder 2 is turned on to transfer the pads 100 one by one into the material picking slot 501 of the positioning block 5.

[0041] S2, the rotary cylinder 6 drives the positioning block 5 to rotate 90° to adjust the direction of the shim 100;

[0042] S3, the gasket gripper 3 is driven by the gripping cylinder 301 to grip the gasket 100;

[0043] S4, driven by the first linear motor 801 to translate, to move the pad 100 into the limiting groove of the cup handle;

[0044] S5, the gasket gripper 3 resets and enters the next process. Then the screw is blown from the hopper into the screw gripper 4, and the screw gripper 4 is driven by the second linear motor 901 to move horizontally above the cup handle and face the gasket 100 that has been placed in.

[0045] S6, the screw gripper 4 moves down to insert the screw into the washer 100, and the locking motor 401 drives the screw gripper 4 to rotate so that the screw locks the cup handle onto the cup.

[0046] S7, screw gripper 4 resets and proceeds to the next process;

[0047] S8, repeat steps S1-S7.

[0048] It should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0049] The detailed descriptions listed above are merely specific descriptions of feasible implementations of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent implementations or modifications made without departing from the spirit of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
