[0002] Automotive interior parts refer to various components and decorations installed inside a car, mainly used to enhance driving and passenger comfort, safety, and aesthetics. Automotive interior parts include a variety of components, such as steering wheels, seats, floor mats, carpets, seat belts, etc. These components not only have a decorative function but also possess important functionalities.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent (authorization announcement number CN213533649U) disclosing an automatic part-picking and processing device for injection molded products. The device includes a base, with a support frame, a motor frame, and a back plate fixedly connected to its upper surface. A first motor is mounted on the top of the motor frame, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor. One end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to a connecting rod via a rotating shaft. A feeding plate and a grinding frame are fixedly connected to the surface of the back plate, and a second motor is fixedly connected to the surface of the grinding frame. This patented technology allows the first motor to move a moving plate via the rotating rod and connecting rod, causing the claw arm to first move horizontally and then downward under the cooperation of the clamping block and the first and second moving slots. The electric push rod, through the cooperation of the toothed plate and gears, enables the claw to grasp the injection molded product and place it onto a conveyor belt for processing. The process only requires placing the injection molded product.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device still has some shortcomings in actual use. The most obvious one is that the picking device cannot adjust the position of the picking end according to the position of the injection molding process during use, which makes it easy to make errors during the picking process and affect its picking effect.

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 An automatic material handling mechanism for processing automotive interior parts includes a mounting plate 1. Support seats 10 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the mounting plate 1. A servo motor a8 is fixedly mounted to one end of the bottom of the mounting plate 1. A rotating frame 12 is rotatably mounted at the output shaft of the servo motor a8. A worm gear 11 is rotatably mounted between the two support seats 10. One end of the worm gear 11 passes through the interior of one of the support seats 10 and is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 12. A worm wheel 13 is rotatably mounted inside the rotating frame 12. A support member 19 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating frame 12. Both ends of the support member 19 are fixedly connected to the two rotating shafts of the worm wheel 13. In a fixed connection, when using this equipment to pick up parts, the rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor a8 drives the rotating frame 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm gear 13, the bearing plate 2, and the support member 19 to swing along the Y-axis, thereby adjusting the picking angle of the picking equipment along the Y-axis. The rotation of the worm 11 drives the worm gear 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the support member 19 and the bearing plate 2 to swing along the X-axis, thereby adjusting the picking angle of the picking equipment along the X-axis. Thus, the picking end position of the picking equipment can be adjusted according to the injection molding position, thereby improving the picking effect of the equipment.

[0032] Specifically, the mounting plate 1 has an adjustment assembly inside, which includes an electric telescopic rod 14 fixedly installed on the outside of the mounting plate 1. The extension and retraction of the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 14 provides power for the movement of the servo motor b9. The servo motor b9 is located at one end of the bottom of the mounting plate 1. The adjustment assembly also includes a sliding groove 18 opened inside the mounting plate 1 and located on one side of the servo motor b9, thereby driving the sliding seat to slide in the sliding groove 18. The sliding seat is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 18. The piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 14 extends into the sliding groove 18 and is fixedly connected to the sliding seat. The servo motor b9 has a locking assembly on the outside, which includes a chuck 16 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor b9. When the locking block 17 is locked with the slot 15 on the worm gear 11, the power of the servo motor b9 is transmitted to the worm gear 11, thereby driving the worm gear 11 to rotate, thus realizing the transmission of power. The worm gear 11 has a slot 15 inside, and the locking block 17 that cooperates with the slot 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the chuck 16.

[0033] Specifically, the worm gear 13 meshes with the worm 11, and the locking block 17 engages with the locking groove 15, allowing the chuck 16 to fit more closely with the worm 11. A bearing plate 2 is fixedly installed on the side of the support member 19 away from the rotating frame 12. A cylinder 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bearing plate 2. A clamping assembly is provided at the bottom of the cylinder 3. The clamping assembly includes a mounting seat 4 fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder 3. Through the setting of the cylinder 3, the lifting seat 5 can be driven to move up and down. Connecting rods 6 are rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting seat 4. The piston rod of the cylinder 3 The lifting seat 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 4. The clamping assembly also includes clamping claws 7 rotatably mounted on both sides of the lifting seat 5. When the lifting seat 5 moves upward, the clamping claws 7 will rotate by means of the connecting rod 6, thereby using the two clamping claws 7 to achieve the purpose of clamping the material. When the lifting seat 5 moves downward, the material can be released. The end of the connecting rod 6 away from the mounting base 4 is rotatably connected to the corresponding clamping claw 7. Two rubber blocks are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping claw 7 to avoid excessive clamping force and damage to the material.

[0034] Working principle: First, when using this equipment to pick up parts, the operator can start the servo motor a8 via an external controller. The rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor a8 drives the rotating frame 12 to rotate, which in turn causes the worm gear 13, the bearing plate 2, and the support member 19 to swing along the Y-axis. This allows adjustment of the picking angle of the picking equipment along the Y-axis. The worm gear 13 and the worm 11 have a self-locking function; the rotation of the worm gear 13 will drive the worm 11 to rotate along the Y-axis, preventing them from getting entangled. As the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 14 extends, it can drive the sliding seat to move within the sliding groove 18, so that the locking block 17 and the locking groove 15 on the worm 11 are in a locked state. The power of the servo motor b9 is transmitted to the worm gear 11, which in turn drives the worm gear 11 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 11 then drives the worm wheel 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the support 19 and the bearing plate 2 to swing along the X-axis. This allows the material handling equipment to adjust the picking angle along the X-axis, thus adjusting the picking end position of the picking equipment according to the injection molding process position. Finally, the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the cylinder 3 drives the lifting seat 5 to rise and fall. When the lifting seat 5 moves upward, the clamping claws 7 rotate with the help of the connecting rod 6, thereby using the two clamping claws 7 to achieve the purpose of clamping the material. When the lifting seat 5 moves downward, the material is released.
