Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of display manufacturing equipment technology, specifically to a sheet material hopper mechanism for an automatic spacer strip attaching machine. Background Technology

[0002] The current method for attaching spacers to the four sides of a monitor frame is mainly manual. First, workers peel the spacer material off the release paper, and then attach the spacer to the corresponding position on the flat or curved frame. Manual application requires a back-pressing action. Manually retrieving the spacer from the hopper can easily deform the surface of the sheet material, causing damage, and is also inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a mechanism for automatically attaching spacer strips to sheet-like material bins.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic spacer strip attaching machine for sheet-like hoppers includes a hopper base plate, on which sheet-like spacers are stacked. A moving module is located on one side of the base plate, comprising a horizontal moving module and a vertical moving module. The bottom of the vertical moving module is connected to the horizontal moving module via a slider, which drives the vertical moving module to move horizontally. A robotic arm is connected to the vertical moving module via a slider, which drives the robotic arm to perform lifting and lowering movements. A support plate is fixed to the free end of the robotic arm, positioned directly above the hopper base plate. Both ends of the support plate are connected to a buffer-equipped balancing suction tube. The balancing suction tube is rectangular in shape, with multiple suction holes evenly distributed at its bottom and an air pipe connector for connecting to a vacuum source at its top.

[0006] Furthermore, the top of the balance holding tube is fixed with two vertically arranged connecting rods. The two connecting rods pass through the corresponding guide sleeves on the support plate. The top of the connecting rod is provided with a limiting block. A buffer spring sleeved on the connecting rod is provided between the top of the balance holding tube and the bottom of the support plate.

[0007] Furthermore, there are two support plates, which are arranged in parallel.

[0008] Furthermore, two fixed stop bars are provided on one side of the long side and one side of the short side of the bottom plate of the silo body, and two movable stop bars are provided on the other side of the long side and one side of the short side of the bottom plate of the silo body. The movable stop bars are slidably connected in the guide groove and are moved by the spacing adjustment mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the spacing adjustment mechanism is a lead screw, with the bottom of two movable stop rods on the same side connected to a sliding seat. The lead screw is connected to the nut seat on the sliding seat, and the two ends of the movable seat are slidably connected to the guide rods on both sides of the lead screw.

[0010] Furthermore, a manual wheel is fixed to one end of the lead screw.

[0011] Furthermore, both the horizontal movement module and the vertical movement module are driven by servo motors.

[0012] The present invention adopts the above technical solution and has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The robotic arm that transports sheet-shaped spacers is driven by a combination of vertical and horizontal movement modules to achieve precise positioning and efficient transport of the sheet-shaped spacers. Combined with servo motor control, it ensures the accuracy of the motion trajectory and meets the production requirements of high-speed production.

[0014] 2. Using a balanced suction tube as a gripping tool avoids deformation of the sheet material surface caused by mechanical clamping. In addition, compared with ordinary vacuum nozzles, the balanced suction tube has higher gripping stability and is less likely to damage the material.

[0015] 3. The long and short sides of the hopper are equipped with fixed and movable stops, respectively. By adjusting the position of the movable stop, the distance between the movable and fixed stops can be adjusted, thereby flexibly adjusting the width and length of the hopper to accommodate storage space for multi-sized sheet-like spacers. The manual wheel design provides a quick fine-tuning function, making it easy to adapt to production needs and make on-site adjustments. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the balanced suction tube;

[0019] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the suction hole at the bottom of the suction tube for balancing the suction. Detailed Implementation

[0020] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic spacer strip attaching machine for sheet-like material bins, including a bin base plate 1. Sheet-like spacers are stacked on the bin base plate 1. A moving module is provided on one side of the bin base plate 1. The moving module includes a horizontal moving module 2 and a vertical moving module 3. The bottom of the vertical moving module 3 is connected to the horizontal moving module 2 via a slider. The horizontal moving module 2 drives the vertical moving module 3 to move horizontally. A robotic arm 4 is connected to the vertical moving module 3 via a slider. The vertical moving module 3 drives the robotic arm 4 to perform lifting and lowering movements. A support plate 5 is fixed to the free end of the robotic arm 4. The support plate 5 is located directly above the bin base plate 1. Both ends of the support plate 5 are respectively connected to a balance suction tube 6 with a buffer function. The balance suction tube 6 is rectangular in shape. Multiple suction holes 61 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the balance suction tube 6. The top of the balance suction tube 6 has an air pipe connector for connecting to a vacuum source.

[0021] The buffering function of the balance holding tube 6 is specifically achieved by the following structure: two vertically arranged connecting rods 7 are fixed at the top of the balance holding tube 6. The two connecting rods 7 pass through the corresponding guide sleeves on the support plate 5. A limiting block 71 is provided at the top of the connecting rod. A buffer spring 8 is sleeved on the connecting rod between the top of the balance holding tube 6 and the bottom of the support plate 5.

[0022] There are two support plates 5, which are arranged in parallel. The two ends of the two support plates 5 are designed with balancing suction tubes 6, which increases the suction area and thus improves the stability of the sheet spacer transfer process.

[0023] Two fixed stop bars 9 are respectively provided on one side of the long side and one side of the short side of the silo bottom plate 1, and two movable stop bars 10 are respectively provided on the other side of the long side and one side of the short side of the silo bottom plate 1. The movable stop bars 10 are slidably connected in the guide groove and are driven to move by the spacing adjustment mechanism. The spacing adjustment mechanism is a lead screw, and the bottom of the two movable stop bars 10 on the same side is connected to a sliding seat. The lead screw is driven by the nut seat on the sliding seat. For easy adjustment, a manual wheel 11 is fixed to one end of the lead screw. By adjusting the position of the movable stop bars 10, the spacing between the movable stop bars 10 and the fixed stop bars 9 can be adjusted, realizing flexible adjustment of the width and length of the silo, which can adapt to the storage space of multi-size sheet-like spacers. The manual wheel 11 is designed to provide a quick fine-tuning function, which is convenient for on-site adjustment to meet production needs.

[0024] Both the horizontal movement module 2 and the vertical movement module 3 are driven by servo motors. The servo motors drive the lead screw and nut pair to move, which can effectively improve the accuracy of the position movement of the robotic arm 4.

[0025] In this invention, the robotic arm 4 for transporting sheet-like spacers is driven by the vertical moving module 3 and the horizontal moving module 2 in tandem, achieving precise positioning and efficient transport of the sheet-like spacers. The servo motor and lead screw and nut pair control ensure the accuracy of the motion trajectory, meeting the needs of high-speed production. The balanced suction tube 6 is used as a gripping tool to avoid deformation of the sheet material surface caused by mechanical clamping. In addition, compared with ordinary vacuum nozzles, the balanced suction tube 6 has higher gripping stability and is less likely to damage the material.

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above. However, those skilled in the art should understand that this is only an example. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to this embodiment without departing from the principle and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
