[0037] Reference Figure 1-9 This utility model provides a material handling device for robot loading and unloading.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] A material handling device for robot loading and unloading includes a material handling trolley 10 and a material handling positioning seat 20.

[0040] in,

[0041] The material transfer trolley 10 is provided with a pallet 11, which is sleeved on the symmetrically arranged support rods 12 on the material transfer trolley 10; the fixed plate 121 is provided with a number of evenly arranged positioning rods 111, which are used for stacking and placing materials to be transferred.

[0042] The material transfer trolley 10 is provided with guide mechanisms 13 on both sides and a magnetic suction plate 14 at the front of the material transfer trolley 10.

[0043] The material transfer positioning seat 20 has an electromagnet 21 on its frame, which is set at the same height as the magnetic suction plate 14; the material transfer positioning seat 20 also has a guide mechanism 22 on both sides of its frame.

[0044] As described in the background section, in the processing of materials (such as motor housings and motor housing blanks), the flow of materials is achieved through material carts. However, the material carts in the prior art have the following problems:

[0045] The material cart cannot be accurately positioned;

[0046] Material carts generally have limited functionality and simple design, making them unable to meet the transportation needs of complex working conditions.

[0047] In this embodiment of the present invention, a material handling device for robot loading and unloading is provided. This material handling device for robot loading and unloading can overcome the two shortcomings mentioned above, enabling the material cart to be accurately positioned. The material cart can be used for the transportation of materials of different types (such as motor housings, motor housing blanks, etc.).

[0048] In this embodiment, the material handling device used for loading and unloading the robot operates on the following principle:

[0049] S1 material 20 is stacked on the material transfer cart 10.

[0050] Material 30 is stacked on positioning rod 111, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material transfer trolley 10 is equipped with six positioning rods 111, which are evenly and symmetrically arranged to place the material 30.

[0051] Precise positioning of S2 material handling trolley 10

[0052] The material transfer trolley 10 can achieve precise positioning by setting the material transfer positioning seat 20. The detailed steps are as follows:

[0053] S21 pushes the material transfer trolley 10 and aligns the entrance of the material transfer trolley 10 with the entrance of the material transfer positioning seat 20;

[0054] S22 The material transfer trolley 10 is provided with a guide mechanism 13 on both sides, and the material transfer positioning seat 20 is also provided with a guide mechanism 22 on both sides of the frame, so as to push the material transfer trolley into the material transfer positioning seat 20.

[0055] S23 As the trolley is continuously pushed in, the material transfer trolley 10 is precisely positioned and fixed by the magnetic attraction of the front of the material transfer trolley 10 and the frame of the material transfer positioning seat 20 is equipped with an electromagnet 21, which is set at the same height as the magnetic attraction of the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 21 and the magnetic attraction of ...

[0056] In summary, the above-mentioned structure enables precise positioning and limiting of the material handling trolley 10 during the material flow process, facilitating operation by workshop staff.

[0057] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 121 is fixed to the material transfer trolley 10, the positioning rod 111 is fixed to the fixing plate 121, and the fixed end of the positioning rod 111 is provided with a protrusion 112 extending towards the positioning rod 111.

[0058] The protrusion 112 is used to support the pallet 11. In actual use, since the pallet 11 is provided with a through hole for the positioning rod 111 to pass through, the pallet 11 is passed through the positioning rod 111, and the protrusion 112 at the fixed end of the positioning rod 111 is used to support the pallet 11, and the distance between the upper end face of the protrusion 112 and the upper end face of the fixed plate is a.

[0059] In the above improvements, the upper surface of the protrusion 112 and the upper surface of the fixed plate form a space for the supply lifting seat 231 to insert and support the material upward.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] In this embodiment:

[0062] Both guide mechanism 13 and guide mechanism 22 have chamfered ends.

[0063] In actual operation, the material transfer trolley 10 is provided with guide mechanism 13 on both sides, and the end of the guide mechanism 13 is chamfered. The material transfer positioning seat 20 is also provided with guide mechanism 22 on both sides of the frame, and the end of the guide mechanism 22 is chamfered. This allows the material transfer trolley to be pushed smoothly into the material transfer positioning seat 20, which is convenient for operation.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] In this embodiment:

[0066] 1) Several evenly arranged guide rollers 221 are provided on the upper surface of the guide mechanism 22.

[0067] 2) The material transfer trolley 10 is equipped with symmetrically arranged limit plates 15.

[0068] In practical operation, the guide rollers 221 ensure that the material transfer trolley 10 can be smoothly pushed in. This not only provides effective lateral restraint, but also minimizes friction during pushing due to the sliding contact between the guide rollers 221 and the outer upper surface of the symmetrically arranged limiting plates 15 on the material transfer trolley 10. Furthermore, this guide rollers provide a guiding effect on the material transfer trolley 10, ensuring precise left and right positioning.

[0069] Example 4

[0070] In this embodiment:

[0071] The material positioning seat 20 is also equipped with a lifting module 23, and the lifting module 23 is equipped with a lifting seat 231. One end of the lifting seat 231 is detachably connected to the lifting module 22.

[0072] A sensor 24 is provided on the upper surface of the material positioning seat 20.

[0073] In this embodiment, the thickness of the lifting seat 231 in the material transfer positioning seat 20 is b, and the distance between the upper end face of the protrusion 112 in the material transfer trolley 10 and the upper end face of the fixed plate is a, satisfying the quantitative relationship: a is slightly greater than b. In specific operation, when the material transfer trolley 10, which is full of material, is precisely placed in the material transfer positioning seat 20 through operation, the lifting seat 231 can be inserted into the gap formed by the protrusion 112, gradually lifting the material on the pallet 11 in the vertical direction.

[0074] In this embodiment, the lifting module 23 is a mechanism in the prior art that can drive the lifting seat 231 to move up and down. The lifting seat 231 is positioned so that after the material transfer trolley 10 is positioned, the lifting seat 231 is also inserted into the lower part of the pallet 11. The upward movement of the lifting seat 231 further lifts the pallet 11 upwards, and the material is lifted to the upper part of the material transfer positioning seat 20. Then, with the cooperation of the robotic arm, the material can be smoothly removed, and the material can be transferred to the next workstation for further processing.

[0075] Using the sensor 24 on the upper surface, the lifting seat 231 gradually lifts the pallet 11 upwards, thereby continuously feeding the robot arm that is matched with it until all the material on the pallet 11 is removed.

[0076] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
