Abstract
Description
A dual-servo aligner Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aligner technology, and in particular to a dual-servo aligner. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, secondary packaging of materials is very common in the existing material packaging industry, often involving boxing or cartons. However, to ensure the aesthetic appeal and quality of the packaged materials, they must be arranged in a specific order before loading. In current secondary packaging production lines, the arrangement of materials is usually done manually by workers before boxing or cartons. Meanwhile, the primary packaging equipment at the front end of these production lines has developed rapidly, with high levels of automation and capacity. Therefore, to ensure the normal operation of the entire production line, it requires a large number of personnel, resulting in significant labor intensity, low efficiency, and a high risk of quality problems and unsightly finishes.
[0003] Given the current situation, there is an urgent need to develop a dual-servo alignment machine that is simple and compact in structure, adaptable to a wider range of materials, has high speed, stable performance, and can operate continuously for a long time to solve this problem.
[0004] The preceding description is intended to provide general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-servo alignment machine that is stable in operation and highly efficient.
[0006] This utility model provides a dual-servo alignment machine, including a frame and a conveying device; the conveying device includes a servo motor, a reducer, a rotating shaft, a chain groove, a chain, a first sprocket, a second sprocket, a third sprocket, a fourth sprocket, a fixed plate, a rotating bearing, and a storage plate; the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to both ends of the frame, and the reducer is fixed to the side of both ends of the frame. The output ends of the two reducers are respectively connected to the two rotating shafts to drive the rotating shafts to rotate. A servo motor for driving the reducer to rotate is installed on the reducer; the first sprocket, the second sprocket, the third sprocket, and the fourth sprocket are sequentially sleeved on the two rotating shafts at both ends of the frame; the first sprocket and the third sprocket are on one of the rotating shafts. The sprockets are fixedly sleeved, while the second and fourth sprockets are rotatably sleeved. On another rotating shaft, the first and third sprockets are rotatably sleeved, while the second and fourth sprockets are fixedly sleeved. Four chains are sequentially wound around the first, second, third, and fourth sprockets at both ends of the frame. Ten fixed plates are spaced apart above and below the chains, and each fixed plate has a storage bin connected to its top, forming a storage bin between adjacent bins. Rotary bearings are rotatably connected to both ends of the fixed plates. Chain grooves are circumferentially connected to the edges of the left and right sides inside the frame, with the rotary bearings at both ends of the fixed plates respectively installed in the two chain grooves.
[0007] Using the above technical solution, initially, the five bins on the chain are located at the initial position at one end of the frame. Then, the material is put into the five bins on the chain in sequence. Driven by two servo motors, the bins move to the other side. After they are moved into place, the robot arm will grab the material in the five bins. At the same time, the five bins located below the chain are moved to the initial position at one end of the frame by the chain driven by two servo motors. The above actions are repeated in sequence.
[0008] Furthermore, the conveying device also includes a connecting buckle with an L-shaped cross-section, and the fixing plate is connected to the chain through the connecting buckle.
[0009] Furthermore, the dual-servo alignment machine also includes a feeding baffle, with two feeding baffles vertically connected at an interval at one end of the frame; the feeding baffle is located directly above the chain.
[0010] Furthermore, the dual-servo alignment machine also includes a material straightening plate; the material straightening plate is fixedly connected above the frame and is located directly above the hopper.
[0011] Furthermore, the dual-servo alignment machine also includes forward baffles, which are vertically connected to both sides of the hopper on the upper part of the frame.
[0012] This utility model's dual-servo aligning machine initially positions the five hoppers on the chain at one end of the frame. Materials are then sequentially placed into these hoppers. Driven by two servo motors, the hoppers move to the other side. Once in position, a robotic arm picks up the materials from the five hoppers. Simultaneously, the five hoppers below the chain are moved to their initial positions at one end of the frame by the chain, driven by the two servo motors. This process is repeated. This utility model's dual-servo aligning machine has servo motors installed at both ends of the frame, enabling dual-motor transport to complete the transport work. The machine operates stably and efficiently. Attached Figure Description

The dual-servo alignment machine provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a frame 1 and a conveying device 2. The conveying device 2 includes a servo motor 21, a reducer 22, a rotating shaft 23, a chain groove 24, a chain 25, a first sprocket 26, a second sprocket 27, a third sprocket 28, a fourth sprocket 29, a fixing plate 291, a rotating bearing 292, and a storage plate 293. The rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to both ends of the frame 1. The reducer 22 is fixed on the side of both ends of the frame 1. The output ends of the two reducers 22 are respectively connected to the two rotating shafts 23 to drive the rotating shafts 23 to rotate. The servo motor 21 is installed on the reducer 22 to drive the reducer 22 to rotate. The first sprocket 26, the second sprocket 27, the third sprocket 28, and the fourth sprocket 29 are sequentially sleeved on the two rotating shafts 23 at both ends of the frame 1. On shaft 23, the first sprocket 26 and the third sprocket 28 are fixedly fitted, while the second sprocket 27 and the fourth sprocket 29 are rotatably fitted. On another shaft 23, the first sprocket 26 and the third sprocket 28 are rotatably fitted, while the second sprocket 27 and the fourth sprocket 29 are fixedly fitted. Four chains 25 are sequentially wound around the first sprocket 26, the second sprocket 27, the third sprocket 28, and the fourth sprocket 29 at both ends of the frame 1. Ten fixed plates 291 are connected at intervals above and below the chains 25. Each fixed plate 291 is connected to a bin plate 293, and a bin 3 is formed between two adjacent bin plates 293. Rotary bearings 292 are rotatably connected to both ends of the fixed plates 291. Chain grooves 24 are connected around the edges of the left and right sides inside the frame 1, and the rotary bearings 292 at both ends of the fixed plates 291 are respectively installed in two chain grooves 24.
[0033] It should be noted that initially, the five hoppers 3 on the chain 25 are located at the initial position at one end of the frame 1. Then, the material is put into the five hoppers 3 on the chain 25 in sequence. Driven by the two servo motors 21, the hoppers 3 move to the other side. After moving into position, the robot arm will grab the material in the five hoppers 3. At the same time, the five hoppers 3 located below the chain 25 are moved to the initial position at one end of the frame 1 by the chain 25 driven by the two servo motors 21. The above actions are repeated in sequence.
[0034] The dual-servo aligning machine of this utility model has servo motors 21 installed at both ends of the frame 1. The dual motors transport the machine and complete the transport work. The machine is stable and efficient.
[0035] Referring further to Figures 7 and 8, the conveying device 2 of this utility model also includes a connecting buckle 294, the cross-section of which is L-shaped, and the fixing plate 291 is connected to the chain 25 through the connecting buckle 294.
[0036] Referring further to Figures 1, 3, and 4, the dual-servo alignment machine of this utility model also includes a feeding baffle 4, with two feeding baffles 4 vertically connected at intervals at one end of the frame 1; the feeding baffle 4 is located directly above the chain 25.
[0037] It should be noted that when the hopper 3 is located directly below the two discharge baffles 4, the material is discharged from the hopper 3 along the edge of the discharge baffles 4; the design of the discharge baffles 4 improves the accuracy of the discharge.
[0038] Furthermore, the dual-servo alignment machine of this utility model also includes a material straightening plate 5; the material straightening plate 5 is fixedly connected above the frame 1, and the material straightening plate 5 is located directly above the hopper 3.
[0039] It should be noted that when the material in the hopper 3 moves forward from the initial position, the material straightening plate 5 above the frame 1 will smooth the material in the hopper 3.
[0040] Furthermore, the dual-servo alignment machine of this utility model also includes a forward baffle 6, which is vertically connected to both sides of the hopper 3 on the upper part of the frame 1.
[0041] It should be noted that the forward baffle 6 further prevents materials from falling during the forward movement.
[0042] As can be seen from the above description, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0043] This utility model's dual-servo aligning machine initially positions the five hoppers on the chain at one end of the frame. Materials are then sequentially placed into these hoppers. Driven by two servo motors, the hoppers move to the other side. Once in position, a robotic arm picks up the materials from the five hoppers. Simultaneously, the five hoppers below the chain are moved to their initial positions at one end of the frame by the chain, driven by two servo motors. This process is repeated. This dual-servo aligning machine features servo motors installed at both ends of the frame, enabling dual-motor transport to complete the transport operation. The machine operates stably and efficiently.
