Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of transfer and feeding structure, specifically relating to a wire ring feeding station. Background Technology

[0002] When processing parts and assembling equipment, it is sometimes necessary to load and unload materials at multiple workstations. Due to the low level of automation in the production line, loading requires manual operation, resulting in low production efficiency. Currently, robotic arms are also used for loading, often three-axis robotic arms for picking up and loading materials. However, the orientation of the objects during transport is not fixed, such as front-facing or side-facing. This means that even if the robotic arm can grab the material for loading, the material on the loading tray is not in a uniform state. Therefore, it is crucial to obtain a loading station for iron rings that overcomes the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a feeding station for iron rings, including a feeding tray, a temporary storage tray, and a robotic arm. The robotic arm picks up the material located on the temporary storage tray and transfers it to the feeding tray. The temporary storage tray includes a mounting shell, a vibration component installed inside the mounting shell, and a placement tray connected to the vibration component. The placement tray is made of a semi-transparent material. A light-emitting element is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting shell. A detection camera is arranged above the temporary storage tray. A gripping cylinder is fixedly installed at the end of the robotic arm.

[0004] Through the above technical solution, the robotic arm of this utility model will use a gripping cylinder to pick up materials, such as iron rings, from the temporary storage tray and place them onto the loading tray.

[0005] The four corners of the placement tray are connected to the bottom surface of the mounting shell via a first vibration spring.

[0006] One method: The vibration component includes a first motor fixed inside the mounting housing, the output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to a cam, the surface of the cam abuts against the bottom surface of the placement plate, and the outer wall of the cam is provided with at least one vertical drop section and a curved section.

[0007] The second method: The vibration component includes a first cylinder fixed inside the mounting housing. The output end of the first cylinder's output shaft acts on the bottom surface of the placement plate to lift the placement plate upwards and then drop it instantly.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, the vibration component can make the placement plate of this utility model vibrate up and down, so as to change the material such as iron rings that may have been placed vertically to be placed horizontally, so that the robotic arm can grasp them later.

[0009] A storage assembly is provided on one side of the temporary storage tray. The storage assembly includes a storage box with an opening on one side and a slanted guide plate extending above the placement tray. Several second vibration springs are fixed to the bottom of the storage box. The storage box also includes a column fixed to the workbench. A second cylinder is horizontally fixed on the column. The output end of the second cylinder acts on the side wall of the storage box. The storage box is placed at an angle, and the material is stationary inside the storage box when no external force is applied.

[0010] With the above technical solution, when there is no material on the temporary storage plate, the second cylinder can work to replenish the material in a timely manner.

[0011] The robotic arm is a three-axis robotic arm. The loading tray is detachably connected to one side of the worktable.

[0012] It also includes a controller, the input of which is connected to a detection camera, and the output of which is connected to a light-emitting element, a first motor, a first cylinder, a second cylinder, a robotic arm, and a gripping cylinder.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the detection camera of this utility model will detect whether the iron ring on the placement plate is placed horizontally. The robotic arm will also transmit the detection result of the detection camera to the controller. The controller controls the movement of the robotic arm and uses the gripping cylinder to grab the horizontally placed iron ring and transport it to the loading tray. When the detection camera detects an iron ring that is not placed horizontally, it can control the first motor, the first cylinder, and the second cylinder to work and emit light through the light-emitting element so that the detection camera can perform the detection work better.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the utility model has a simple structure, and the setting of a robotic arm and a detection camera can increase the fully automatic performance of the iron ring feeding of this utility model. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model and to more clearly define the scope of protection claimed by this utility model, the present utility model is described in detail below with reference to certain specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following are only some specific embodiments of the present utility model concept, and are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model. The specific and direct description of related structures is only for the convenience of understanding this utility model, and the specific features do not necessarily or directly limit the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0026] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a feeding station for iron rings, including a feeding tray 1, a temporary storage tray 2, and a robotic arm 3. The robotic arm 3 picks up the material located on the temporary storage tray 2 and transfers it to the feeding tray 1. The temporary storage tray 2 includes a mounting shell 201, a vibration component installed inside the mounting shell 201, and a placement tray 202 connected to the vibration component. The placement tray 202 is made of a semi-transparent material. A light-emitting element 203 is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting shell 201. A detection camera is provided above the temporary storage tray 2. A gripping cylinder 205 is fixedly installed at the end of the robotic arm 3.

[0027] Through the above technical solution, the robotic arm 3 of this utility model will use the gripping cylinder 205 to pick up materials such as iron rings on the temporary storage plate 2 and place them on the loading plate 1.

[0028] The four corners of the placement tray 202 are connected to the bottom surface of the mounting housing 201 via the first vibration spring 206.

[0029] One method: The vibration assembly includes a first motor 207 fixed inside the mounting housing 201. The output shaft of the first motor 207 is fixedly connected to a cam 208. The surface of the cam 208 abuts against the bottom surface of the placement plate 202. At least one vertical drop section 209 and a curved section 210 are provided on the outer wall of the cam 208.

[0030] The second method: The vibration component includes a first cylinder 211 fixed inside the mounting housing 201. The output end of the output shaft of the first cylinder 211 acts on the bottom surface of the placement plate 202 to lift the placement plate 202 upward and then drop it instantly.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, the vibration component can make the placement plate 202 of this utility model vibrate up and down, so as to change the material such as iron ring that may have been placed vertically to be placed horizontally, so that the robotic arm 3 can grasp it later.

[0032] A storage assembly 4 is provided on one side of the temporary storage tray 2. The storage assembly 4 includes a storage box 405. The storage box 405 has an opening on one side and is connected to an inclined guide plate 404 extending above the placement tray 202. Several second vibration springs 401 are fixed to the bottom of the storage box 405. It also includes a column 402 fixed to the workbench. A second cylinder 403 is horizontally fixed on the column 402. The output end of the second cylinder 403 acts on the side wall of the storage box 405. The storage box 405 is placed at an inclination, and when no external force is applied, the material in the storage box 405 is in a static state. The inclination angle can be 10 degrees, 15 degrees, etc.

[0033] With the above technical solution, when there is no material on the temporary storage plate 2, the second cylinder 403 can work to replenish the material in a timely manner.

[0034] The robotic arm 3 is a three-axis robotic arm. The loading tray 1 is detachably connected to one side of the worktable by bolts or other fasteners.

[0035] It also includes a controller, the input of which is connected to a detection camera, and the output of which is connected to a light-emitting element 203, a first motor 207, a first cylinder 211, a second cylinder 403, a robotic arm 3, and a gripping cylinder 205.

[0036] Through the above technical solution, the detection camera of this utility model will detect whether the iron ring on the placement plate is placed horizontally. The robotic arm 3 will also transmit the detection result of the detection camera to the controller. The controller controls the movement of the robotic arm 3 and uses the gripping cylinder 205 to grab the horizontally placed iron ring and transport it to the loading tray 1. When the detection camera detects an iron ring that is not placed horizontally, it can control the first motor 207, the first cylinder 211, and the second cylinder 403 to work and emit light through the light-emitting element 203 so that the detection camera can perform the detection work better.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the utility model has a simple structure, and the setting of the robotic arm 3 and the detection camera can increase the fully automatic performance of the iron ring feeding of this utility model.

[0038] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
