[0024] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, an automatic loading and unloading device for anodizing laptop casings includes a support 1 and a base plate 9. A linear guide rail structure 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support 1. A mounting bracket 3 is provided on the surface of the linear guide rail structure 2. A lifting structure 4 is provided on the surface of the mounting bracket 3. A drive structure 5 for the operation of the lifting structure 4 is provided on the surface of the mounting bracket 3. A through hole 6 is provided on the surface of the lifting structure 4. A clamping component 7 is provided on the surface of the clamping component 7. A visual recognition camera 8 is provided on the surface of the clamping component 7. A casing placement assembly for placing the laptop casing is provided on the top surface of the base plate 9. Component 10, the surface of bracket 1 is provided with a control box 11; specifically, the control box 11 controls the linear guide rail structure 2, which drives the mounting bracket 3 to move and achieve horizontal displacement, so that the clamping component 7 reaches the designated position; the drive structure 5 drives the lifting structure 4 to move the clamping component 7 up and down; the visual recognition camera 8 monitors the position and assists the clamping component 7 in accurate positioning; when loading, the laptop shells are placed on the shell placement component 10, the shell placement component 10 is clamped, and the laptop shells are moved to the anodizing equipment; when unloading, they are retrieved from the equipment, and the shell placement component 10 is driven back to its original position.

[0025] As shown in Figure 2, the lifting structure 4 includes a fixed block 401. The fixed block 401 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting frame 3, and a connecting rod 402 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 401. A rope roller 403 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 402. Specifically, the fixed block 401 of the lifting structure 4 is fixed to the surface of the mounting frame 3, providing stable support and a rotational foundation for the connecting rod 402. As a key component for power transmission, the connecting rod 402 rotates under the drive of the drive structure 5. It transmits the power generated by the drive structure 5 to the rope roller 403, enabling the rope roller 403 to rotate accordingly, thereby realizing the winding and unwinding of the rope, and thus driving the clamping assembly 7 to perform lifting and lowering movements. The rope roller 403 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 402 and rotates with the rotation of the connecting rod 402. The wire is wound around the wire roller 403. When the wire roller 403 rotates clockwise, the wire is released, and the gripping component 7 descends; when the wire roller 403 rotates counterclockwise, the wire is retracted, and the gripping component 7 rises. The rotation of the wire roller 403 enables precise vertical movement of the gripping component 7 to meet the requirements of different height positions during loading and unloading. This stable and precise lifting movement of the gripping component 7 provides crucial support for the efficient operation of the automatic loading and unloading device for anodizing laptop casings.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2, the drive structure 5 includes a motor 501. The motor 501 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting bracket 3. A reducer 502 is provided at the output end of the motor 501, and the connecting rod 402 is connected to the reducer 502. Specifically, the drive structure 5 is configured such that the motor 501 and the reducer 502 work together to provide stable and suitable power to the lifting structure 4. The motor 501 generates power, and the reducer 502 adjusts and optimizes the power. Through the connection with the connecting rod 402, the power is transmitted to the lifting structure 4, realizing the precise vertical movement of the clamping component 7, thereby meeting the working requirements of the automatic loading and unloading device for anodizing laptop shells.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2, the gripping assembly 7 includes a mounting plate 701. The rope end of the rope roller 403 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 701, and a visual recognition camera 8 is disposed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 701. An electric gripper 702 is disposed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 701. Specifically, the visual recognition camera 8 is mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 701. During the gripping process, it can capture real-time image information of the laptop casing and the casing placement assembly 10. By analyzing and processing these images, the relative position and orientation of the electric gripper 702 and the target casing are determined, providing precise positioning data for the electric gripper 702 and ensuring the accuracy of the gripping action. The gripping assembly 7 is configured such that the electric gripper 702, mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 701, is the component that directly performs the gripping action. After receiving instructions from the control box 11, the electric gripper 702 can accurately approach and grip the casing placement assembly 10 based on the positioning information provided by the visual recognition camera 8, achieving precise positioning and stable gripping of the casing placement assembly 10.

[0028] As shown in Figure 3, the casing placement assembly 10 includes a support rod 1001. The support rod 1001 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate 9. A slanted overlapping block 1002 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod 1001, and a hanging block 1003 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support rod 1001. Specifically, the support rod 1001 is fixed to the top surface of the base plate 9 and serves as the supporting structure for the entire casing placement assembly 10. It provides a stable mounting position for the slanted overlapping block 1002 and the hanging block 1003, ensuring that they are at the appropriate height and position to meet the needs of placing the laptop casing. The slanted overlapping block 1002 is fixed to the surface of the support rod 1001, and its slanted design facilitates the placement of the laptop casing to be anodized by the operator. The casing can slide naturally down the slanted surface of the slanted overlapping block 1002 and be placed stably, reducing the risk of collision and damage to the casing during placement. The mounting block 1003 allows the electric gripper 702 to grasp the computer casing, which is then placed on the inclined mounting block 1002, thus enabling the entire casing placement assembly 10 to move, as shown in Figure 2. The mounting bracket 3 is L-shaped and made of metal. Specifically, the L-shape allows the mounting bracket 3 to provide a reasonable installation position for the lifting structure 4, drive structure 5, etc., within a limited space, effectively utilizing vertical and horizontal space, avoiding interference between components, making the overall device layout more compact, and improving space utilization. The metal material has high strength and good wear resistance, and can withstand the weight of the lifting structure 4, drive structure 5, and gripping assembly 7, as well as various forces generated during operation.

[0029] In summary: Equipment installation and debugging: During installation, first, firmly install bracket 1 in the designated position to ensure its stability. Then, install linear guide structure 2 and mounting bracket 3 in sequence, ensuring that mounting bracket 3 can move smoothly on linear guide structure 2. Next, install lifting structure 4 and drive structure 5, and perform precise debugging to ensure that components such as motor 501, reducer 502, connecting rod 402, and rope roller 403 cooperate well, and that the lifting action is smooth and accurate. After that, install clamping component 7 and vision recognition camera 8, and calibrate vision recognition camera 8 to ensure that it can accurately monitor the position. Then, install shell placement component 10 on base plate 9, ensuring accurate positioning. Finally, install control box 11, connect the circuits of each component, and perform overall debugging to ensure that each component operates normally. Daily operation: In daily production, operators only need to place the laptop shell to be processed on the inclined overlapping block 1002 of shell placement component 10 as required, and then start the feeding program on control box 11. The device can then automatically complete the feeding process. When feeding material, the operator starts the feeding program on the control box 11, and the device will automatically operate according to the established feeding principle to complete the feeding operation. During operation, if any abnormal situation occurs, the control box 11 will issue an alarm, and the operator can troubleshoot and handle the problem according to the alarm prompts.

[0030] Loading Process: The laptop casing to be anodized is placed on the inclined overlapping block 1002 of the casing placement assembly 10. The control box 11 activates the linear guide structure 2, driving the mounting frame 3 to move, positioning the electric gripper 702 above the casing placement assembly 10. Next, the control box 11 activates the motor 501, which, through the reducer 502, drives the connecting rod 402 to rotate, causing the wire roller 403 to rotate. The wire pulls the mounting plate 701 and the electric gripper 702 downwards. During this process, the visual recognition camera 8 monitors the position of the electric gripper 702 and the casing placement assembly 10 in real time. When the electric gripper 702 reaches the appropriate position, it activates the clamping hook block 1003, moving the casing placement assembly 10. Subsequently, the motor 501 reverses, the wire roller 403 retracts the wire, and lifts the clamped casing placement assembly 10. Finally, the linear guide structure 2 is activated again, driving the mounting frame 3 and the clamped casing placement assembly 10 axially to the anodizing equipment for loading. Unloading process: After the laptop casing is processed in the anodizing equipment, the lifting structure 4 lifts the casing placement assembly 10. The linear guide rail structure 2 moves the mounting bracket 3 back to its initial position, and then the lifting structure 4 lowers the clamping assembly 7, causing the casing placement assembly 10 to return to its original position, completing the unloading process.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
