Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transfer and feeding technology, and more specifically, it relates to a material transfer and feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Emergency stop switches are critical safety devices in industrial equipment and mechanical systems. They typically feature a prominent red mushroom-shaped design and are used to quickly cut off power or stop equipment operation in emergencies. Their working principle involves directly disconnecting the control circuit or triggering a safety relay to achieve instantaneous braking of the equipment, preventing personal injury or equipment damage. They are commonly found in high-risk locations such as production lines, machine tools, and elevators, and their installation location must be clearly visible and easily accessible.

[0003] During the production and processing of emergency stop switches, it is necessary to assemble and test the emergency stop switches. During the above operations, the assembly and testing positions need to correspond one-to-one with the working positions of the emergency stop switches. The traditional method is to use manual positioning, place the emergency stop switch workpiece to be assembled or tested on the corresponding operating position, clamp and fix it, and then perform the corresponding testing operations.

[0004] For example, the emergency stop switch testing device disclosed in Chinese patent document CN221782403U uses a U-shaped support plate to position the emergency stop switches during detection. This method requires manual operation, and detection cannot be performed during loading and unloading, thus affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material transfer and feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a material transfer and feeding device, including a support frame, the support frame being arranged along the X direction, a transfer chute being provided on the support frame, a transfer frame being driven and arranged on one side of the support frame along the XY axis, at least two sets of transfer frames being provided, a clamping frame being provided above each transfer frame, the clamping frame being driven along the Y axis, a limit groove being provided on both the transfer frame and the clamping frame, a reversing table being rotatably adjustable in the transfer chute between the two sets of transfer frames, a feeding frame being provided at the feeding end of the support frame in conjunction with the transfer chute, the feeding frame being driven along the Y axis, a feeding groove being provided on the feeding frame, when the feeding frame is extended, the feeding groove matching the working position of the transfer chute and the transfer frame, a feeding conveyor belt being provided on the side of the feeding frame away from the support frame, and when the feeding frame is retracted, the feeding groove matching the position of the feeding conveyor belt.

[0007] The present invention is further configured to include a mounting frame, on which a support is provided, and the carrier frame is mounted on the mounting frame via the support, thereby achieving stable installation of the carrier frame on the mounting frame via the support.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a support is provided on the mounting frame, a motor is provided on the support, and the output end of the motor is connected to the reversing table, thereby controlling the reciprocating rotation of the reversing table through the motor.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a reversing groove is provided on the reversing table, the reversing groove is flush with the bearing surface of the transfer slide, the motor is started, and the reversing table is rotated by the motor, so that the workpiece moved to the reversing table can realize rotation reversal, thereby improving the detection and processing position. The workpiece is transferred at a first angle under the action of the previous workpiece transfer frame. After being transferred to the reversing table, the rotation reversal of the workpiece is realized by the rotation of the reversing table.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a support frame is provided on one side of the mounting frame, a feeding slide rail is provided on the support frame, a feeding slide table is provided on the feeding slide rail, the feeding frame is mounted on the feeding slide table, and a first electric push rod is provided on the support frame in conjunction with the feeding slide table. During feeding, firstly, the feeding trough on the feeding frame is aligned with the feeding conveyor belt. Under the action of the feeding conveyor belt, the workpiece located on the feeding conveyor belt can automatically enter the feeding trough. Since the space of the feeding trough corresponds to only one workpiece, the feeding of other workpieces can be restricted. Then… The first electric push rod is activated, which controls the loading rack to move towards the support frame in cooperation with the loading slide and loading rail. This aligns the loading trough with the transfer chute on the support frame and with the limiting groove on the transfer rack. The transfer rack is then driven to limit the workpiece through the limiting groove and control the workpiece to be positioned and transferred to the next work point within the transfer chute. This achieves continuous and standardized material transfer and feeding, enabling the workpiece to be positioned and transported precisely during assembly and testing of emergency stop switch workpieces at the installation, processing, and testing points.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a transverse slide rail is provided on the mounting frame in conjunction with the transfer frame, a transverse slide table is provided on the transverse slide rail, and a second electric push rod is provided on the mounting frame in conjunction with the transverse slide table. When the second electric push rod is activated, the transverse slide table is controlled to move on the transverse slide rail, thereby realizing the transverse movement of the clamping frame relative to the transfer slide groove.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a longitudinal slide rail is provided on the transverse slide, and a longitudinal slide table is provided on the longitudinal slide rail. The transfer frame is installed on the corresponding longitudinal slide table. A third electric push rod is provided on the transverse slide in conjunction with the longitudinal slide table. When the third electric push rod is activated, the longitudinal slide table can be controlled to move on the longitudinal slide rail, thereby enabling the transfer frame to move closer to or away from the workpiece located on the support frame. This ensures that when the transfer frame approaches the workpiece, the workpiece can be confined within the detection groove on the transfer frame. Then, with the cooperation of the second electric push rod, the transverse slide table, and the transverse slide rail, the clamping frame is controlled to move with the workpiece to the next processing position, achieving precise transfer and feeding of the workpiece. Afterward, the clamping frame is controlled to detach from the workpiece and then moves laterally back to its original position for the next round of transfer and feeding.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a clamping slide rail is provided on the mounting frame in conjunction with the clamping frame, a clamping slide table is provided on the clamping slide rail, the clamping frame is disposed on the clamping slide table, and a fourth electric push rod is provided on the mounting frame in conjunction with the clamping slide table. When the fourth electric push rod is activated, the clamping slide table is moved on the clamping slide rail, thereby driving the clamping frame to move along the Y-axis direction. This allows the limiting groove on the clamping frame to limit and clamp the corresponding workpiece in the transfer groove, thereby improving the stability during inspection.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model achieves precise positioning and efficient material transfer. Through the coordinated operation of the loading rack and the transfer rack, it realizes precise positioning and fixed-distance transfer of workpieces with emergency stop switches. The loading rack's loading trough is designed to accommodate only a single workpiece, and with the continuous feeding of the loading conveyor belt, it ensures that only one workpiece enters the transfer chute each time. The transfer rack, through the precise drive of the transverse and longitudinal slide rails, can accurately transfer the workpiece to each processing or inspection station. The setting of the reversing table further meets the needs of workpiece angle adjustment, improves production efficiency, and avoids the instability of manual operation.

[0016] 2. This utility model adopts a modular design. Core components such as the support frame, transfer frame, and clamping frame are all driven through a slide rail structure and electric push rods, resulting in a compact structure that is easy to maintain. The cooperation of multiple transfer frames and clamping frames supports parallel operation at multiple workstations, and the addition of a reversing table expands the workpiece processing freedom. The layout of the mounting frame and support frame optimizes space utilization and facilitates integration with other equipment on the production line. This design not only adapts to the diverse processing needs of emergency stop switches but also allows for the adaptation to the production of workpieces of different specifications by adjusting the number of transfer frames and the parameters of the reversing table, offering exceptional flexibility.

[0017] 3. This utility model achieves fully automated and coordinated processes for loading, transferring, clamping, and reversing through precise control via a combination of electric push rods and a slide rail structure. The linkage design between the clamping frame's limiting groove and the transfer frame ensures the stability of the workpiece during processing, effectively preventing displacement errors, especially in high-precision detection. Automatic matching of the loading rhythm and transferring pace reduces operational gaps, and the motor drive of the reversing table enables rapid adjustment of the workpiece angle. The entire system coordinates the actions of each component through a controller, improving production efficiency while ensuring the uniformity and reliability of the emergency stop switch's processing quality.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-7 The illustrated material transfer and feeding device includes a support frame 1, which is arranged along the X direction. A transfer chute 2 is provided on the support frame 1. A transfer frame 3 is driven and arranged on one side of the support frame 1 along the XY axis. At least two sets of transfer frames 3 are provided. A clamping frame 4 is provided above each transfer frame 3. The clamping frame 4 is driven along the Y axis. Limiting grooves 5 are provided on both the transfer frame 3 and the clamping frame 4. A reversing table 6 is rotatably adjustable in the transfer chute 2 between the two sets of transfer frames 3. A feeding frame 7 is provided at the feeding end of the support frame 1 in conjunction with the transfer chute 2. The feeding frame 7 is driven along the Y axis. A feeding groove 8 is provided on the feeding frame 7. When the feeding frame 7 is extended, the feeding groove 8 matches the working position of the transfer chute 2 and the transfer frame 3. A feeding conveyor belt 9 is provided on the side of the feeding frame 7 away from the support frame 1. When the feeding frame 7 is retracted, the feeding groove 8 matches the position of the feeding conveyor belt 9.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-7 As one embodiment of the mounting frame 10, it also includes a mounting frame 10, on which a bracket 11 is provided. The carrier frame 1 is mounted on the mounting frame 10 through the bracket 11, and the bracket 11 enables the carrier frame 1 to be stably installed on the mounting frame 10.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-7 As one embodiment of the mounting frame 10: a support 12 is provided on the mounting frame 10, and a motor 13 is provided on the support 12. The output end of the motor 13 is connected to the reversing table 6, and the reciprocating rotation of the reversing table 6 is controlled by the motor 13.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-7 As one implementation of the reversing table 6: the reversing table 6 is provided with a reversing groove 14. The motor 13 is started and the reversing table 6 is rotated by the motor 13, so that the workpiece moved to the reversing table 6 can be rotated and reversed, improving the detection and processing position. The workpiece is moved at a first angle under the action of the previous workpiece conveyor 3. After being moved to the reversing table 6, the rotation of the reversing table 6 realizes the rotation and reversal of the workpiece.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-7As one embodiment of the mounting frame 10: a support frame 15 is provided on one side of the mounting frame 10, a feeding slide rail 16 is provided on the support frame 15, and a feeding slide table 17 is provided on the feeding slide rail 16. The feeding frame 7 is installed on the feeding slide table 17, and a first electric push rod 18 is provided on the support frame 15 in conjunction with the feeding slide table 17. During feeding, firstly, the feeding groove 8 on the feeding frame 7 is aligned with the feeding conveyor belt 9. Under the action of the feeding conveyor belt 9, the workpiece located on the feeding conveyor belt 9 can automatically enter the feeding groove 8. Since the space of the feeding groove 8 corresponds to only one workpiece, the feeding of other workpieces can be restricted. Then, the first electric push rod 18 is activated. The first electric push rod 18 can control the loading rack 7 to move towards the support frame 1 with the cooperation of the loading slide table 17 and the loading slide rail 16, so that the loading groove 8 is aligned with the transfer slide 2 on the support frame 1. At the same time, it can be aligned with the limiting groove 5 on the transfer frame 3. Thus, the transfer frame 3 can be driven to limit the workpiece through the limiting groove 5, and the workpiece is controlled to be positioned and transferred to the next work point within the transfer slide 2. This achieves continuous and standardized material transfer and feeding, so that the workpiece of the emergency stop switch can be positioned and transported at the installation, processing and inspection points during assembly and inspection, and achieve precise docking.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-7 As one embodiment of the mounting frame 10: a transverse slide rail 19 is provided on the mounting frame 10 in conjunction with the transfer frame 3, a transverse slide table 20 is provided on the transverse slide rail 19, and a second electric push rod 21 is provided on the mounting frame 10 in conjunction with the transverse slide table 20. When the second electric push rod 21 is activated, the transverse slide table 20 is controlled to move on the transverse slide rail 19, thereby realizing the transverse movement of the clamping frame 4 relative to the transfer slide 2.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-7 As one implementation of the transverse slide 20: a longitudinal slide rail 22 is provided on the transverse slide 20, and a longitudinal slide 23 is provided on the longitudinal slide rail 22. The transfer frame 3 is installed on the corresponding longitudinal slide 23. A third electric push rod 24 is provided on the transverse slide 20 in conjunction with the longitudinal slide 23. When the third electric push rod 24 is activated, the longitudinal slide 23 can be controlled to move on the longitudinal slide rail 22, thereby enabling the transfer frame 3 to move closer to or away from the workpiece located on the support frame 1. When the transfer frame 3 moves closer to the workpiece, the workpiece can be confined within the detection groove on the transfer frame 3. Then, with the cooperation of the second electric push rod 21, the transverse slide 19, and the transverse slide rail 19, the clamping frame 4 is controlled to move with the workpiece to the next processing position, thereby achieving precise transfer and feeding of the workpiece. Afterward, the clamping frame 4 is controlled to detach from the workpiece and then moves laterally back to its original position for the next round of transfer and feeding.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-7As one embodiment of the mounting frame 10: the mounting frame 10 is equipped with a clamping slide rail 25 in conjunction with the clamping frame 4, and a clamping slide table 26 is provided on the clamping slide rail 25. The clamping frame 4 is placed on the clamping slide table 26. The mounting frame 10 is equipped with a fourth electric push rod 27 in conjunction with the clamping slide table 26. When the fourth electric push rod 27 is activated, the clamping slide table 26 is controlled to move on the clamping slide rail 25, thereby driving the clamping frame 4 to move along the Y-axis direction. This allows the limiting groove 5 on the clamping frame 4 to limit and clamp the corresponding workpiece in the transfer slide 2, thereby improving the stability during inspection.

[0033] In summary, the working principle and specific workflow of this utility model are as follows:

[0034] When this utility model is in use, the emergency stop switch that needs to be moved can be fed and transported by the feeding conveyor belt 9. Since the feeding conveyor belt 9 adopts a belt conveyor structure, it cannot effectively fix the emergency stop switch at a fixed point and distance during production assembly and testing processes, so the feeding rack 7 is set up.

[0035] When the emergency stop switch on the feeding conveyor belt 9 delivers the material to the feeding rack 7, it will be intercepted by the feeding rack 7 and will accumulate on the feeding conveyor belt 9 in sequence, adhering to the feeding rack 7.

[0036] Then, the first electric push rod 18 controls the movement of the loading rack 7, so that the loading trough 8 on the loading rack 7 is aligned with the loading conveyor belt 9. Thus, under the drive of the loading conveyor belt 9, the emergency stop switch workpiece closest to the loading rack 7 will be transported into the loading trough 8, while others cannot enter.

[0037] Then, under the action of the first electric push rod 18, the loading rack 7 is controlled to move the workpiece with the emergency stop switch to the position of the transfer chute 2;

[0038] Then, the third electric push rod 24 is activated. The third electric push rod 24 can control the longitudinal slide table 23 to move on the longitudinal slide rail 22, thereby enabling the transfer frame 3 to approach the workpiece with the emergency stop switch located on the support frame 1 and make the workpiece located in the detection slot on the transfer frame 3.

[0039] Then, the second electric push rod 21 is activated, and the transverse slide 20 is moved on the transverse slide rail 19 by the second electric push rod 21, thereby realizing the transverse movement of the clamping frame 4 relative to the transfer slide 2.

[0040] During this process, the clamping frame 4 will carry the workpiece from the previous processing position to the next processing position, realizing the precise transfer and feeding of the workpiece by positioning and distance.

[0041] Then, the clamping frame 4 is disengaged from the workpiece under the action of the third electric push rod 24, and moves laterally back to its original position under the action of the second electric push rod 21, so as to carry out the next round of material transfer and feeding.

[0042] During this process, the feeding frequency of the feeding rack 7 corresponds to the moving distance of the moving rack each time, and the above steps are repeated in sequence, so as to realize the automatic fixed-distance positioning and material feeding of the emergency stop switch during production, processing and inspection, reduce the working interval and improve production efficiency.

[0043] After the material is fed to the positioning point, the fourth electric push rod 27 is activated. The fourth electric push rod 27 controls the clamping slide 26 to move on the clamping slide rail 25, thereby driving the clamping frame 4 to move along the Y-axis. This allows the limiting groove 5 on the clamping frame 4 to limit and clamp the corresponding workpiece in the transfer slide 2, thereby improving the stability during inspection. Preferably, the clamping frame 4 is clamped and fixed after the moving frame has completed the transfer of the workpiece and before disengagement, which improves the clamping stability and engagement accuracy. After the clamping frame 4 has completed clamping and fixing, it can be coordinated with the corresponding external inspection and assembly processes to achieve the corresponding one-to-one operation.

[0044] After a set of operations is completed, the above steps are repeated for transfer. When the workpiece is transferred to the reversing table 6, the motor 13 is started. The motor 13 controls the reversing table 6 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the workpiece moved to the reversing table 6 can rotate and change direction, improving the detection and processing position. The workpiece is transferred at the first angle under the action of the previous workpiece transfer frame 3. After being transferred to the reversing table 6, it will enter the reversing groove 14. Through the rotation of the reversing table 6, the rotation and change direction of the workpiece is realized. Under the action of the next transfer frame 3, it is moved out of the reversing groove 14 to realize subsequent processing.

[0045] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
