Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plate-stacking machine technology, and in particular to an improved plate-stacking machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of plastic toys, each part of the toy is usually manufactured first using an injection molding machine, and then workers assemble them.

[0003] Toy parts are usually manufactured in batches, so the production volume of each batch is very large. In order to facilitate the subsequent processing and assembly process, the parts need to be placed into a tray first, and this work is usually done by a tray-loading machine.

[0004] Before a part can be picked up by a robotic arm, it usually needs to be positioned to ensure that it can be accurately grasped. However, some positioning fixtures are connected to a vibrating rail by swinging, which is inefficient and can easily cause materials to fall off.

[0005] For example, Chinese patent application number CN202411081930.4 discloses a toy joint leg and its manufacturing method, specifically disclosing that "the second material preparation mechanism includes a first vibrating material tray, a second positioning fixture, and a first vibrating material rail, the first vibrating material rail connecting the first vibrating material tray and the second positioning fixture, and the second positioning fixture can swing at the end of the first vibrating material rail." The positioning fixture is connected to the vibrating material rail by swinging, a design that is inefficient and prone to causing material to fall. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology and its main purpose is to provide an improved tray-loading machine in which the first groove on the material holder can be connected to or staggered with the feeding mechanism, which not only has high working efficiency but also prevents materials from falling, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] This application provides an improved tray-stacking machine, including a feeding mechanism, a fixing mechanism, a tray-stacking mechanism, and a tray mechanism;

[0009] A material positioning mechanism is located at the output end of the feeding mechanism; the material positioning mechanism includes a first linear module and a material positioning seat disposed on the first linear module; a first groove is provided on the material positioning seat; the first groove can be connected to or offset from the feeding mechanism.

[0010] The material tray mechanism is located next to the material fixing mechanism; the material tray mechanism includes a material tray transfer device, a first material tray device, and a second material tray device.

[0013] The tray transfer device includes a second linear module and a transfer frame disposed in the second linear module, which can move between the first tray device and the second tray device.

[0014] The material placement mechanism is located on the upper side of the material tray mechanism; the material placement mechanism includes a robotic arm and a material placement component located on the robotic arm, which can place materials into the material tray.

[0015] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a vibrating feed pan, a first vibrating rail connected to the vibrating feed pan, a second vibrating rail connected to the first vibrating rail, and a limiting plate covering the second vibrating rail; a gap is left between the limiting plate and the second vibrating rail, and the material is exposed at the gap.

[0016] Preferably, the robotic arm is a gantry robotic arm; the material handling component is a suction cup.

[0017] Preferably, the transfer frame is equipped with a first cylinder and a baffle. The output end of the first cylinder presses against the material tray, and the baffle stops the material tray.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has significant advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, the first linear module drives the fixed material seat to move back and forth, thereby allowing the first groove to be connected to or offset from the feeding mechanism.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it illustrates the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is an improved tray-stacking machine.

[0034] The first groove 33 is disconnected from the feeding mechanism 20 by staggering, while the other groove is connected. This method is more efficient and prevents the material 14 from falling out.

[0035] This application provides an improved tray-stacking machine, including a feeding mechanism 20, a positioning mechanism 30, a tray-stacking mechanism 40, and a tray mechanism 50. The feeding mechanism 20 supplies material 14. The positioning mechanism 30 positions the material 14 so that it can be subsequently picked up by the tray-stacking mechanism 40. The tray-stacking mechanism 40 places the material 14 into the tray 15. The tray mechanism 50 stores and transfers the tray 15 to enable large-scale tray-stacking. During operation, the material 14 comes out from the feeding mechanism 20, is positioned by the positioning mechanism 30, and the tray-stacking mechanism 40 places the positioned material 14 into the tray 15 on the tray mechanism 50.

[0036] A material positioning mechanism 30 is located at the output end of the feeding mechanism 20. The material positioning mechanism 30 includes a first linear module 31 and a material positioning seat 32 disposed on the first linear module 31. A first groove 33 is provided on the material positioning seat 32. The first groove 33 can be connected to or offset from the feeding mechanism 20. The first linear module 31 is preferably a cylinder module. The first linear module 31 drives the material positioning seat 32 to move at the outlet of the first vibrating material rail 22, thereby allowing the first groove 33 to be connected to or offset from the feeding mechanism 20. When the first groove 33 is connected to the first vibrating material rail 22, the material 14 enters the first groove 33. When the first groove 33 is misaligned with the first vibrating material rail 22, the material 14 cannot enter the first groove 33 and will be blocked within the first groove 33, thus preventing the material 14 from falling out. In this mode, the movement amplitude of the material positioning seat 32 is very small, resulting in higher working efficiency and eliminating the problem of material 14 falling out.

[0037] The tray mechanism 50 is located beside the material-setting mechanism 30; the tray mechanism 50 includes a tray transfer device 510, a first tray device 520, and a second tray device 530. The tray transfer device 510 is used to transfer the tray 15 from the first tray device 520 to the second tray device 530. While the tray 15 is in the tray transfer device 510, the material-placing mechanism 40 places the material 14 into the tray 15.

[0038] The first tray device 520 includes a first lifting module 521 and a first tray rod module 523. The first lifting module 521 can lift the tray 15, and the first tray rod module 523 can support the tray 15. The first lifting module 521 is preferably a cylinder lifting module. The first lifting module 521 includes a first lifting frame 522, which has a structure that is U-shaped, gate-shaped, or strip-shaped. The first lifting frame 522 can avoid the transfer frame 512. The first lifting frame 522 is driven by a cylinder to move up and down, and the first lifting frame 522 lifts the tray 15 from the bottom.

[0039] The second tray device 530 includes a second lifting module 531 and a second tray rod module 533. The second lifting module 531 can lift the tray 15. At least two sets of second tray rods 536 of the second tray rod module 533 are arranged vertically at intervals, and the second tray rods 536 can support the tray 15. The second lifting module 531 includes a second lifting frame 532, which has a structure that is U-shaped, gate-shaped, or strip-shaped. The second lifting frame 532 can avoid the transfer frame 512, and the second lifting frame 532 is driven by a cylinder to move up and down. The second lifting frame 532 lifts the tray 15 from the bottom of the tray 15.

[0040] The material tray transfer device 510 includes a second linear module 511 and a transfer frame 512 disposed on the second linear module 511. The transfer frame 512 can move between the first material tray device 520 and the second material tray device 530. The second linear module 511 can be a cylinder or a lead screw servo module; in this embodiment, the second linear module 511 is a lead screw servo module. The material tray 15 is placed on the transfer frame 512, and the second linear module 511 drives the transfer frame 512 to move between the first material tray device 520 and the second material tray device 530. When the material tray 15 moves to below the material placement mechanism 40, the material placement mechanism 40 places the material 14 from the material positioning mechanism 30 into the material tray 15.

[0041] A material placement mechanism 40 is disposed above the material tray mechanism 50. The material placement mechanism 40 includes a robotic arm 41 and a material placement component 42 disposed on the robotic arm 41, which can place materials into the material tray 15. The robotic arm 41 is preferably a gantry robotic arm 41, capable of movement in the XYZ or XY directions. The material placement component 42 is preferably a suction cup, which can be a needle-type suction cup or a common suction cup. The material placement component 42 picks up the material 14 from the first groove 33 and places the material 14 into the material tray 15.

[0042] Preferably, the feeding mechanism 20 includes a vibrating feed pan 21, a first vibrating rail 22 connected to the vibrating feed pan 21, a second vibrating rail 23 connected to the first vibrating rail 22, and a limiting plate 24 covering the second vibrating rail 23; a gap is left between the limiting plate 24 and the second vibrating rail 23, at which the material is exposed. The material enters sequentially from the vibrating feed pan 21 into the first vibrating rail 22, the second vibrating rail 23, and the first groove 33. The limiting plate 24 can prevent the material 14 from falling from the second vibrating rail 23, and the gap allows for easy observation of the material condition, thus eliminating the problem of material jamming.

[0043] Preferably, the transfer frame 512 is equipped with a first cylinder 513 and a baffle 514. The output end of the first cylinder 513 presses against the material tray 15, and the baffle 514 stops the material tray 15. When the material tray 15 is placed into the transfer frame 512, the first cylinder presses the material tray 15 firmly against the baffle 514, which prevents the material tray 15 from shifting and ensures the accuracy of the material tray 15's position. There are two sets of the first cylinder 513 and the baffle 514, which together form a rectangular shape, which is beneficial for limiting the position of the material tray 15.

[0044] Preferably, the first tray rod module 523 includes a first mounting frame 524, a second mounting frame 525 disposed on the first mounting frame 524, and a first tray rod 526 disposed on the second mounting frame 525; the output end of the second cylinder 527 is connected to the second mounting frame 525. There are two sets of first tray rod modules 523, each set having at least two first tray rods 526, which can support the tray 15. The transfer frame 512 moves to the first tray device 520, the first lifting module 521 lowers the tray 15 onto the transfer frame 512, and then the transfer frame 512 moves to the material placement mechanism 40, which places the material 14 into the tray 15.

[0045] Preferably, the second tray rod module 533 includes a third mounting frame 534, a fourth mounting frame 535 disposed on the third mounting frame 534, and a second tray rod 536 disposed on the fourth mounting frame 535; the output end of the third cylinder 537 is connected to the fourth mounting frame 535. There are two sets of the second tray rod modules 533, each set having at least two second tray rods 536, which can support the tray 15. When the transfer frame 512 moves to the second tray device 530, the first lifting module 521 lifts the tray 15 on the transfer frame 512, and the second tray rods 536 support the tray 15. The second tray rod modules 533 have two or more sets, which can simultaneously separate multiple layers of trays 15, preventing the trays 15 from pressing against the material 14.

[0046] Preferably, a CCD camera 43 is provided on the side of the material placement mechanism 40. The CCD camera 43 can take pictures and inspect the material 14 on the material placement component 42. The CCD camera 43 can take pictures and inspect the angle, appearance, etc. of the material 14. If the material 14 is unqualified, it is directly discarded and not placed on the tray.

[0047] Preferably, the first lifting module 521 and the second lifting module 531 are one of the following: cylinder lifting module, rack and pinion lifting module, and lead screw lifting module.

[0048] Preferably, the material fixing mechanism 30, the material placement mechanism 40, and the material tray mechanism 50 are housed inside the cabinet 10, and cabinet doors 11 are provided on the left and right sides of the cabinet 10; a touch screen 12 and control buttons 13 are provided on the front of the cabinet 10. The cabinet doors 11 facilitate loading or unloading of the material tray 15. The touch screen 12 and control buttons 13 facilitate operation by workers.

[0049] In summary, the key design feature of this invention lies in its first linear module 31 driving the fixed material seat 32 to move back and forth, thereby allowing the first groove 33 to be connected to or staggered from the feeding mechanism 20. This design prevents the material 14 from falling out, shortens the stroke, and increases working efficiency. Furthermore, multiple sets of the second material tray rod module 533 are arranged vertically at intervals, allowing for the simultaneous holding of multiple trays filled with material without damaging the material.
