[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Example

[0023] An automatic feeding and correction mechanism for assembling block toys, as shown in Figures 1-4, includes a vibrating feeding device 1, a dual-manipulator material transfer device 2 installed on one side of the vibrating feeding device 1, a correction device 3 located in front of the dual-manipulator material transfer device 2 and cooperating with the dual-manipulator material transfer device 2, a rotating table 4 located on one side of the dual-manipulator material transfer device 2, and an assembly mold 5 fixedly installed on the side of the rotating table 4 for assembling blocks.

[0024] The vibrating feeding device 1 includes a vibrating feeding plate 11, a feeding channel 12 connected to the discharge port of the vibrating feeding plate 11, a support foot 13 installed at the end of the feeding channel 12, a side-mounted support plate 14 located on one side of the feeding channel 12, a baffle cylinder 14 fixedly installed above the side-mounted support plate 14 and facing the feeding channel 12, a baffle plate 16 fixedly connected to the baffle cylinder 14 and assembled with the feeding channel 12, and a baffle plate guide strip 17 fixedly installed with the support foot 13 and having a guide groove on its inner side. Specifically, Since the dual robotic arm material transfer device 2 cannot pick up multiple blocks at once, in order to limit the blocks from overflowing the feeding channel 12, the baffle plate 16 is controlled by the baffle cylinder 14 to block the blocks. When the dual robotic arm material transfer device 2 moves above the feeding channel 12 to pick up the blocks, the baffle cylinder 14 extends and moves out of the baffle plate 16. At this time, the dual robotic arm material transfer device 2 can pick up the blocks. After the dual robotic arm material transfer device 2 picks up the blocks, the baffle cylinder 14 retracts and pulls back the baffle plate 16 to block the blocks, which can prevent the blocks from sliding out of the feeding channel 12.

[0025] The dual-manipulator material handling device 2 includes two parallel support columns 21 of the same height, a horizontal plate 22 fixed to the two support columns 21 by bolts, two guide columns 23 fixedly installed to the horizontal plate 22 by an auxiliary plate, a slide plate 24 located on one side of the horizontal plate 22 and assembled with the guide columns, a transverse cylinder 25 installed at one end of the horizontal plate 22 and assembled with the slide plate 24, and a first material handling manipulator 26 and a second material handling manipulator 27 with the same structure installed on the slide plate 24.

[0026] The two ends of the slide plate 24 are fixed with assembly plates 241 with guide holes by bolts. Specifically, two guide posts 23 pass through the guide holes in the assembly plate 241, which not only support the slide plate 24, but also facilitate the smooth lateral movement of the slide plate 24.

[0027] The first material handling robot 26 includes a fourth mounting plate 261 fixedly installed with the slide plate 24, a lifting cylinder 262 fixedly installed above the fourth mounting plate 261, an L-shaped plate 263 located below the fourth mounting plate 261 and fixedly installed with the output end of the lifting cylinder 262, and a material scooping suction cup 264 fixedly installed at the lower end of the L-shaped plate 263 by screws. Specifically, the slide plate 24 in the dual-manipulator material handling device 2 is driven to move laterally by the transverse cylinder 25. During the transverse movement, the function of the first material handling robot 26 is to pick up the block from the feeding channel 12 and place it in the correction device 3 for correction processing, while the function of the second material handling robot 27 is to pick up the corrected block from the correction device 3 and place it in the assembly mold 5 so that the block can be assembled with other blocks.

[0028] The correction device 3 includes a correction support frame 31, a first mounting plate 32 fixedly mounted to the correction support frame 31 by screws, a second mounting plate 33 with one side abutting against the correction support frame 31 and the other side fixed to the first mounting plate 32, a correction motor 34 located below the second mounting plate 33 and fixedly mounted to the second mounting plate 33, a third mounting plate 35 located above the second mounting plate 33 and fixedly mounted to the correction support frame 31 and the first mounting plate 32, a block placement slot 36 located above the third mounting plate 35 and supported by the output end of the correction motor 34, a support plate 37 fixedly mounted to the outside of the first mounting plate 32 by screws and having an insertion hole, and a camera 38 inserted into the insertion hole of the support plate 37.

[0029] The output end of the correction motor 34 passes through the second mounting plate 33 and the third mounting plate 35 in sequence, and is then fixed to the block placement slot 36. Specifically, the purpose of setting the second mounting plate 33 is to install the correction motor 34, while the purpose of setting the third mounting plate 35 is to support the output end of the correction motor 34.

[0030] With the lens of camera 38 facing upwards, specifically, when the dual robotic arm material transfer device 2 picks up a block from the vibrating feeding device 1, it can quickly scan the structural orientation of the block, thereby providing timely feedback to the control computer. The control computer then controls the correction motor 34 to rotate the block placement slot 36 where the block has already been placed to adjust its orientation, so that the dual robotic arm material transfer device 2 can pick up the adjusted block and transport it to the assembly mold 5 to assemble it with other blocks.

[0031] The above embodiments of this utility model are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. The implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto. All other modifications, substitutions or alterations made to the above structure of this utility model based on the above content of this utility model and in accordance with the common technical knowledge and conventional means in the field, without departing from the basic technical idea of ​​this utility model, shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
