Description

A transfer mechanism for a wooden tableware forming machine Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer equipment technology, specifically to a transfer mechanism for a wooden tableware forming machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern industrial automation, automated material handling equipment is becoming increasingly important, as it not only improves production efficiency but also reduces labor costs. Although various automated material handling equipment is available on the market, their levels of automation and application ranges vary, and not all equipment can achieve fully unmanned operation of the equipment.

[0003] The complexity of modern production lines lies in their multiple processes and steps, each requiring specific equipment and personnel. This complexity increases the difficulty of automating the entire production line. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a transfer mechanism for a wooden tableware forming machine, including a clamping execution mechanism. A main clamping cylinder is provided inside the clamping execution mechanism, and a rotating shaft is provided on one side of the main clamping cylinder. The rotating shaft is connected to the robot power adapter head through a main connecting rod.

[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the clamping actuator includes a clamping head and a clamping cylinder. The clamping head is fixed at the end of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder and is driven by the clamping cylinder. The two actuator ends of the clamping cylinder are respectively equipped with an upper clamping thin wall and a lower clamping thin wall.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner end faces of the upper clamping thin wall and the lower clamping thin wall are connected to the main clamping cylinder.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the rotating shaft can rotate 90 degrees.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] 1. It can grasp wooden tableware in groups, improving the efficiency of loading wooden tableware into transfer vehicles. This design enables unmanned loading operations, thereby reducing labor costs.

[0010] 2. Since the loading process is located between the material handling device and the forming machine, it can also realize the automatic connection of the production line, further improving the overall production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0013] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more comprehensive description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate the described embodiments. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this application.

[0014] As shown in Figure 1, a transfer mechanism for a wooden tableware forming machine includes a clamping execution mechanism. A main clamping cylinder 1 is provided inside the clamping execution mechanism, and a rotating shaft 2 is provided on one side of the main clamping cylinder 1. The rotating shaft 2 is connected to the robot power adapter head 4 through a main connecting rod 3.

[0015] The clamping actuator includes a clamping head 5 and a clamping cylinder 6. The clamping head 5 is fixed at the end of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 6 and is driven by the clamping cylinder 6. The two actuator ends of the clamping cylinder 6 are respectively equipped with an upper clamping thin wall 7 and a lower clamping thin wall 8. The inner end faces of the upper clamping thin wall 8 and the lower clamping thin wall 9 are connected to the main clamping cylinder 1. The function of the clamping head 5 is to clamp along the end face of the wooden tableware group after clamping the upper clamping thin wall 7 and the lower clamping thin wall 8, so as to ensure that the clamp overcomes the inherent elasticity of the wooden tableware and clamps it completely and reliably.

[0016] During operation, the robotic arm works in conjunction with a transfer mechanism, which is driven by a transfer mechanism and works in collaboration with vision inspection equipment and fiber optic sensors to transfer wooden tableware in the transfer bin.

[0017] In use, the robotic arm is connected via the robotic arm power adapter 4. This adapter integrates mechanical, pneumatic, and electrical quick connectors, facilitating rapid installation and switching, and improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0018] Below the robotic arm power adapter head 4 is the main connecting rod 3, and at the end of the main connecting rod 3 is a rotating shaft 2 that can rotate 90 degrees. Since the wooden tableware is initially placed horizontally when assembled, while the installation position in the transfer bin is vertical, this 90-degree rotating shaft is needed to achieve the adaptation and transfer of the wooden tableware.

[0019] The main clamping cylinder 6 is installed at the actuator end of the rotating shaft 2. The two actuator ends of the clamping cylinder 6 are respectively equipped with an upper clamping thin wall 7 and a lower clamping thin wall 8. When the clamping action is initiated, the upper clamping thin wall 8 and the lower clamping thin wall 9 are initially in an open state. At this time, the robotic arm connected to them is also in a relaxed state. Subsequently, the fiber optic sensor installed on them extends from the side of the wooden tableware group according to the specific position information provided by the vision measurement equipment until it reaches the preset position. Immediately afterwards, the upper clamping thin wall 8 and the lower clamping thin wall 9 move towards each other, and the robotic arm is in a clamping state. The robotic arm tightly clamps the handle of the fork, thus completing the initial clamping action.

[0020] Meanwhile, the laterally positioned clamping head 6, after confirming via fiber optic sensor that the upper clamping thin wall 8 and lower clamping thin wall 9 have reached their designated positions, begins its clamping action. Specifically, the clamping head 5 is fixed to the end of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 6 and moves with the reciprocating motion of the piston rod. The clamping force can be adjusted by regulating the air pressure of the clamping cylinder 6, thus regulating the clamping force of the robotic arm holding the wooden tableware set. Specifically, the direction of movement of the clamping cylinder 6 is achieved by switching the air path using a 3-position 5-way solenoid valve. When air enters from the left side and exits from the right side of the piston of the clamping cylinder 6, the piston moves to the left, which is the releasing action; when air enters from the right side and exits from the left side of the clamping cylinder 6, the piston moves to the left, which is the clamping action. This process continues until the preset clamping pressure value is reached, at which point the entire clamping action is completed.

[0021] Next, the transfer mechanism moves to the transfer hopper, and the rotating shaft 2 rotates 90 degrees to align the robotic arm holding the wooden tableware set with the vertical installation position of the transfer hopper. Then, the wooden tableware set is inserted into the transfer hopper, completing the entire transfer operation.

[0022] Furthermore, since the transfer mechanism is used for transferring wooden tableware, which is a natural material with irregular shapes and high elasticity, it may come apart or shift position during transfer if not clamped. This design ensures reliable transfer and accurate placement into the hopper of the next processing step.

[0023] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
