Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marking technology, and in particular to a marking device. Background Technology
[0002] To achieve product traceability, identification, and aesthetic enhancement, marking devices are currently used to mark special patterns on workpieces. However, in existing marking operations, the loading and unloading of workpieces, as well as the inspection of marked workpieces, largely rely on manual operation. This manual method is inefficient and reduces product production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above situation, it is necessary to provide a marking device to improve production efficiency.
[0004] This application provides a marking device, including:
[0005] Positioning components are used to position the workpiece to be marked.
[0006] A marking component is disposed adjacent to the positioning component and configured to mark the workpiece after positioning;
[0007] A clamping assembly includes a support member, a reference member, a clamping member, a lifting member, a pushing member, and a pushing member. The support member is disposed on one side of the marking assembly and is configured to support a tray holding multiple workpieces. The reference member and the clamping member are spaced apart on the support member along a first direction. The clamping member is used to clamp the tray to the reference member along the first direction. The lifting member and the pushing member are spaced apart on the support member along a second direction. The pushing member is used to clamp the tray to the lifting member along the second direction. The lifting member is configured to descend along a third direction after the tray carries the multiple marked workpieces, so that the pushing member pushes the tray to move the multiple marked workpieces out of the support member. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0008] A transfer assembly, disposed adjacent to the support member, is used to transfer the tray and the workpiece, and to move the workpiece between the positioning assembly, the marking assembly, and the clamping assembly; and
[0009] The detection component includes a fixing member, a detection member, and a light-emitting member. The fixing member is located on one side of the marking component. The detection member is located on the fixing member and is detachably connected to the fixing member. When the transfer component transfers the workpiece to the detection member, the detection member acquires an image of the marked workpiece to detect the marking information of the workpiece. The light-emitting member is located adjacent to the detection member and is detachably connected to the fixing member. The light-emitting member is used to emit light toward the workpiece that has been moved to the detection member.
[0010] In use, the aforementioned marking device operates as follows: First, the transfer assembly transfers a tray carrying multiple workpieces to be marked to a support member. Next, the clamping member clamps the tray along a first direction to a reference member, and the pushing member clamps the tray along a second direction to a lifting member, enabling the transfer assembly to accurately transfer the workpieces to the positioning assembly, allowing the positioning assembly to accurately position the workpieces. Then, the transfer assembly transfers the positioned workpieces to the marking assembly, allowing the marking assembly to mark the positioned workpieces. The transfer assembly then moves the marked workpieces to a detection member, while a light-emitting element illuminates the workpieces on the detection member, enabling the detection member to acquire an image of the workpiece and detect the marking information to determine if the workpiece is marked correctly. Finally, the transfer assembly moves the detected and qualified workpieces to a tray on the support member. After the tray carries a preset number of detected and qualified workpieces, the lifting member descends along a third direction, and the pushing member pushes the tray out of the support member. In this way, the various components of the marking device work together to continuously complete the operations of transferring the tray, positioning the tray, transferring the workpiece, positioning the workpiece, marking the workpiece, detecting the workpiece, and moving the tray, achieving rapid completion of production operations and improving production efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0045] The following will describe some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0046] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a marking device 100, which includes a positioning component 10, a marking component 20, a clamping component 30, a transfer component 40, and a detection component 50. The marking device 100 is used to mark workpieces. The workpieces can be mobile phone mid-plates, mouse shells, computer backplates, etc.
[0047] To facilitate understanding and explanation of the embodiments of this application, a three-dimensional coordinate system is established in some of the accompanying drawings, with the first direction being... Figure 1 The X-axis direction is shown, and the second direction is... Figure 1 The Y-axis direction shown is the third direction. Figure 1 The Z-axis direction shown is perpendicular to each other in the first, second, and third directions.
[0048] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The positioning component 10 is used to position the workpiece to be marked. The marking component 20 is disposed adjacent to the positioning component 10 and is configured to mark the workpiece after positioning. The clamping component 30 includes a support member 31, a reference member 32, a clamping member 33, a lifting member 34, a pushing member 35, and a pushing member 36. The support member 31 is disposed on one side of the marking component 20 and is configured to support a tray holding multiple workpieces. The reference member 32 and the clamping member 33 are spaced apart on the support member 31 along a first direction. The clamping member 33 is used to clamp the tray to the reference member 32 along the first direction. The lifting member 34 and the pushing member 35 are spaced apart on the support member 31 along a second direction. The pushing member 35 is used to clamp the tray to the lifting member 34 along the second direction. The lifting member 34 is configured to descend along a third direction after the tray carries multiple marked workpieces, so that the pushing member 36 pushes the tray and moves the multiple marked workpieces out of the support member 31. The transfer assembly 40 is disposed adjacent to the support member 31. The transfer assembly 40 is used to transfer the tray and workpiece, and to move the workpiece between the positioning assembly 10, the marking assembly 20, and the clamping assembly 30. The detection assembly 50 includes a fixing member 51, a detection member 52, and a light-emitting member 53. The fixing member 51 is disposed on one side of the marking assembly 20. The detection member 52 is disposed on the fixing member 51 and detachably connected to the fixing member 51. When the transfer assembly 40 transfers the workpiece to the detection member 52, the detection member 52 acquires an image of the marked workpiece to detect the marking information of the workpiece. The light-emitting member 53 is disposed adjacent to the detection member 52 and detachably connected to the fixing member 51. The light-emitting member 53 is used to emit light toward the workpiece moved to the detection member 52. Exemplarily, the clamping member 33, the lifting member 34, and the pushing member 35 can be cylinders. The detection member 52 can be any detection part, detector, or similar detection block capable of detecting the workpiece, such as an industrial camera. The light-emitting member 53 can be any light-emitting body, light-emitting part, or similar light-emitting block capable of emitting light toward the workpiece.
[0049] When the above-mentioned marking device 100 is in use, firstly, the transfer assembly 40 transfers the tray carrying multiple workpieces to be marked to the support 31; then, the clamping member 33 clamps the tray along the first direction to the reference member 32, and the pushing member 35 clamps the tray along the second direction to the lifting member 34, so that the transfer assembly 40 accurately moves the workpiece to the positioning assembly 10, so that the positioning assembly 10 accurately positions the workpiece; then, the transfer assembly 40 moves the positioned workpiece to the marking assembly 20, so that the marking assembly 20 marks the positioned workpiece; the transfer assembly 40 then moves the marked workpiece to the detection member 52, and at the same time, the light-emitting member 53 emits light toward the workpiece moved to the detection member 52, so that the detection member 52 acquires an image of the workpiece to detect the marking information of the workpiece and determine whether the workpiece is marked successfully; finally, the transfer assembly 40 moves the qualified workpiece to the tray on the support 31. After the tray carries a preset number of qualified workpieces, the lifting member 34 descends along the third direction, and the pushing member 36 pushes the tray out of the support 31. In this way, the various components in the marking device 100 work together to continuously complete the operation processes of transferring the pallet, positioning the pallet, transferring the workpiece, positioning the workpiece, marking the workpiece, inspecting the workpiece, and moving the pallet, thereby achieving rapid completion of production operations and improving production efficiency.
[0050] It should be noted that the qualified workpieces mentioned above refer to workpieces with preset patterns marked in the preset area.
[0051] In this embodiment, there are two detection elements 52. The two detection elements 52 are arranged opposite each other along a third direction and can be detachably connected to the fixing element 51. The position and height of the two detection elements 52 can be adjusted according to the detection requirements to detect the upper and lower sides of the workpiece respectively, thereby ensuring that the detection component 50 completely detects the workpiece and improving the detection accuracy.
[0052] Specifically, there are multiple light-emitting elements 53 of various types. These multiple light-emitting elements 53 are spaced apart and detachably connected to the fixing element 51. The position and height of the multiple light-emitting elements 53 can be adjusted according to the detection requirements to emit light toward the workpiece moved to the detection assembly 50. For example, the light-emitting element 53 consists of a strip light source and a ring light source. The strip light source is placed to the side or above the area of the detection element 52, while the ring light source is arranged around the detection element 52. The strip light source can provide a parallel beam of light to uniformly illuminate the marking area of the workpiece, while the ring light source can supplement the light from different angles to make the edges and details of the marking pattern clearer. The light-emitting element 53 also consists of a strip light source and a backlight source. The strip light source is located on one side of the workpiece, while the backlight source is located opposite or behind the workpiece. The strip light source provides side light to create shadows on the marking pattern, while the backlight source provides background light. The two work together to create a contrast between light and dark in the image acquired by the detection element 52, highlighting the three-dimensionality of the marking pattern on the workpiece.
[0053] Please see Figure 4In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 10 includes a positioning element 11 and a temporary storage element 12. The positioning element 11 is disposed on one side of the marking assembly 20, and the temporary storage element 12 is spaced apart from the positioning element 11 along a second direction. Both the positioning element 11 and the temporary storage element 12 are provided with a positioning body 111 and a through hole 112. The positioning body 111 is adapted to the workpiece. The positioning body 111 of the positioning element 11 is used to position the workpiece to be marked, and the positioning body 111 of the temporary storage element 12 is used to position the workpiece that has been inspected. The through hole 112 penetrates the positioning body 111 along a third direction and is configured to avoid the displacement load assembly 40. Exemplarily, the positioning body 111 can be any positioning part, positioning block, or positioning groove capable of positioning the workpiece, such as a positioning groove with a positioning rod.
[0054] Thus, through the above configuration, the positioning member 11 positions the workpiece to be calibrated, and the temporary storage member 12 positions the workpiece that has been inspected, so that the workpiece to be calibrated and the inspected workpiece are positioned separately, which facilitates the transfer assembly 40 to stably load the workpiece to be calibrated onto the calibrating assembly 20 and unload the inspected workpiece onto the support member 31, avoiding confusion between the workpiece to be calibrated and the inspected workpiece; in addition, the transfer assembly 40 abuts against the workpiece positioned by the positioning body 111 through the through hole 112, so that the through hole 112 avoids the transfer assembly 40, avoiding interference between the positioning body 111 and the transfer assembly 40, thereby improving the transfer stability of the transfer assembly 40.
[0055] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the transfer assembly 40 includes a first transfer member 41 and a second transfer member 42. The first transfer member 41 is disposed adjacent to the positioning assembly 10 and is used to transfer a tray to the support member 31, and also to transfer a workpiece between the positioning assembly 10, the clamping assembly 30, and the marking assembly 20. The second transfer member 42 is disposed adjacent to the detection member 52 and is used to transfer a workpiece between the marking assembly 20, the detection assembly 50, and the positioning assembly 10.
[0056] Thus, through the above configuration, the first transfer component 41 and the second transfer component 42 can perform transfer operations with different functions, thereby increasing the working range of the transfer assembly 40, effectively reducing the waiting time for workpieces during the transfer of each component, avoiding production stagnation caused by transfer delays, and thus improving production efficiency.
[0057] Please see Figure 5In some embodiments, the first transfer member 41 includes a transfer carrier 411, a linkage 412, a first transfer body 413, and a second transfer body 414. The transfer carrier 411 is disposed adjacent to the positioning assembly 10, and the linkage 412 is connected to the transfer carrier 411. The first transfer body 413 and the second transfer body 414 are respectively disposed on both sides of the linkage 412. The first transfer body 413 is configured to transfer a tray, and the second transfer body 414 is configured to transfer a workpiece. Exemplarily, the transfer carrier 411 can be a robotic arm.
[0058] Thus, through the above configuration, the first transfer body 413 completes the pallet transfer operation and the second transfer body 414 completes the workpiece transfer operation, so that the first transfer component 41 realizes the pallet and workpiece transfer operation in one unit, avoiding the need to set up too many transfer devices, thereby optimizing the layout of the marking device 100 and reducing production costs.
[0059] It is understood that the second transfer member 42 has a structure that is roughly the same as that of the first transfer member 41. The second transfer member 42 includes a transfer body 411, a linkage body 412 and a second transfer body 414. The difference is that the second transfer member 42 does not have a first transfer body 413.
[0060] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, both the first transfer body 413 and the second transfer body 414 include a connecting portion 4131 and two adsorption portions 4132. The connecting portion 4131 is connected to the linkage body 412, and the two adsorption portions 4132 are spaced apart from the connecting portion 4131. The adsorption portions 4132 of the first transfer body 413 are configured as adsorption trays, and the adsorption portions 4132 of the second transfer body 414 are configured to adsorb workpieces. The distance between the two adsorption portions 4132 of the first transfer body 413 is greater than the distance between the two adsorption portions 4132 of the second transfer body 414. For example, the adsorption portion 4132 can be a suction cup.
[0061] Thus, the distance between the two adsorption parts 4132 of the first transfer body 413 is greater than the distance between the two adsorption parts 4132 of the second transfer body 414. This allows the two adsorption parts 4132 of the first transfer body 413 to avoid part of the structure on the tray by using their larger distance, so as to avoid collision between the first transfer body 413 and the tray. This allows the two adsorption parts 4132 of the second transfer body 414 to stably adsorb the workpiece by using their smaller distance, so that the force applied by the second transfer body 414 to the workpiece is more concentrated and uniform, preventing the workpiece from falling or loosening during the transfer process, thereby improving the transfer stability.
[0062] Please continue reading. Figure 5In some embodiments, the first transfer member 41 further includes a first detection body 415 and a second detection body 416. The first detection body 415 is disposed adjacent to the first transfer body 413 and electrically connected to the transfer carrier 411, and is used to detect the transfer information of the first transfer body 413. The second detection body 416 is disposed adjacent to the second transfer body 414 and electrically connected to the transfer carrier 411, and is used to detect the transfer information of the second transfer body 414.
[0063] Thus, by setting up as described above, the first detection body 415 detects the transfer information of the first transfer body 413 to determine whether the first transfer body 413 has transferred the tray, and the second detection body 416 detects the transfer information of the body 414 to determine whether the second transfer body 414 has transferred the workpiece. The first detection body 415 and the second detection body 416 send the detection information to the transfer carrier 411, so that the transfer carrier 411 stably drives the tray or workpiece to move, thereby achieving the transfer stability of the first transfer component 41.
[0064] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the marking device 100 further includes a conveying assembly 60, which is positioned at the same height as the support member 31 in a third-party direction and is adjacent to the lifting member 34. The conveying assembly 60 is used to receive the tray that has been removed from the support member 31 and move the tray to a preset position. For example, the conveying assembly 60 may be a conveyor belt.
[0065] Thus, through the above settings, the pallet can be moved smoothly to the conveying component 60, thereby stably conveying the pallet to the preset position, realizing the transfer and recycling of multiple marked workpieces, avoiding the accumulation of multiple pallets carrying marked workpieces on the support component 31, which would affect the subsequent processing of the workpieces, thereby optimizing the production layout and improving production efficiency.
[0066] In some embodiments, the support member 31 is provided with two clearance grooves 311, which are spaced apart along a first direction. Each clearance groove 311 extends through both sides of the support member 31 along a third direction, and the opening of the clearance groove 311 is located at the end of the support member 31 away from the lifting member 34 in a second direction. The pushing member 36 includes a pushing drive body 361, a connecting body 362, and a pushing body 363. The pushing drive body 361 is located on the side of the support member 31 away from the reference member 32 and is connected to the connecting body 362. The two pushing bodies 363 are spaced apart along the first direction on the connecting body 362 and correspond one-to-one with the two clearance grooves 311. A receiving space 364 is formed between the two pushing bodies 363 and the connecting body 362. The receiving space 364 is configured as a clearance pushing member 35. The two pushing bodies 363 are used to move into the corresponding clearance groove 311 under the drive of the pushing drive body 361 and push the tray out of the support member 31. Exemplarily, the pushing drive body 361 can be a cylinder.
[0067] Thus, through the above configuration, the clearance groove 311 provides movement space for the pusher 363, allowing the pusher 363 to move into the clearance groove 311 under the drive of the pusher 361, so that the pusher 363 can push the pallet a sufficiently large distance, ensuring that the pusher 363 stably pushes the pallet to the conveying assembly 60, thereby improving the pushing stability. In addition, the two pushers 363 and the connecting body 362 form a receiving space 364, which can avoid the pusher 35 and prevent interference between the pusher 36 and the pusher 35. Moreover, the two pushers 363 push the pallet at the same time, increasing the contact area between the pallet and the pusher 36, further improving the pushing stability.
[0068] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 30 further includes a first sensor 37 and a second sensor 38. The first sensor 37 is embedded in the support member 31 and electrically connected to the clamping member 33, the pushing member 35, and the lifting member 34, respectively. The first sensor 37 is used to detect the placement information of the tray. The second sensor 38 is disposed adjacent to the lifting member 34 and connected to the support member 31. The second sensor 38 is electrically connected to the pushing member 36 and the lifting member 34, respectively. The second sensor 38 is used to detect the movement information of the tray. Exemplarily, the first sensor 37 and the second sensor 38 can be proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors, etc.
[0069] Thus, by setting the first sensor 37, the first sensor 37 can detect in a timely manner whether the tray carrying the workpiece to be marked is placed on the support member 31, ensuring that the clamping member 33 and the pushing member 35 stably position the tray; by setting the second sensor 38, the second sensor 38 can detect in a timely manner whether the tray carrying the workpiece that has passed the inspection has moved out of the support member 31, so that a new tray carrying the workpiece to be marked can be placed on the support member 31, which is beneficial to the repeated operation of the marking device 100.
[0070] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the marking assembly 20 includes a support fixture 21 and a marking element 22. The support fixture 21 is movably disposed on one side of the positioning assembly 10 and is configured to support the workpiece and drive the workpiece to move relative to the positioning assembly 10. The marking element 22 is movably disposed on one side of the support fixture 21 and is configured to mark the workpiece. Exemplarily, the support fixture 21 can be any support part, support plate, or support block capable of supporting the workpiece, such as a support plate connected to a manual slide table, and the marking element 22 can be any marking body, marking part, or marking machine capable of marking the workpiece, such as a marking body connected to a three-axis linkage mechanism.
[0071] Thus, through the above settings, the position and height of the support fixture 21 and the marking component 22 can be adjusted according to the marking requirements, ensuring that the marking component 22 performs marking operations in the preset area of the workpiece, thereby improving the marking accuracy.
[0072] It is understood that the support fixture 21 and the marking component 22 can move along the first direction, the second direction and the third direction.
[0073] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the detection component 50 further includes a barcode scanner 54, which is disposed on one side of the light-emitting element 53 and detachably connected to the fixing element 51. The barcode scanner 54 is used to scan the workpiece that has been moved to the detection component 52. Exemplarily, the barcode scanner 54 can be a barcode scanner.
[0074] Thus, through the above settings, the barcode scanner 54 can scan the workpiece to obtain the workpiece's associated information, such as production batch and model, thereby achieving quality traceability and facilitating subsequent production management and quality control.
[0075] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the marking device 100 further includes a feeding assembly 70 and a recycling assembly 80. The feeding assembly 70 is disposed on one side of the clamping assembly 30 and is used to provide a tray carrying a plurality of workpieces to be marked. The recycling assembly 80 is disposed on one side of the feeding assembly 70 and is used to recycle defective workpieces. Exemplarily, the feeding assembly 70 can be any feeding component, feeding section, or similar feeding body capable of providing a tray carrying workpieces to be marked, and the recycling assembly 80 can be any recycling component, recycling section, or similar recycling body capable of collecting detected defective workpieces.
[0076] Thus, through the above settings, the feeding component 70 can stably provide the tray of workpieces to be marked, ensuring continuous production of the marking device 100 and improving production efficiency. The recycling component 80 can promptly recycle unqualified workpieces, preventing them from being confused with qualified workpieces, facilitating centralized processing and quality analysis of unqualified workpieces, thereby effectively improving production quality.
[0077] The working process of the marking device 100 described above is roughly as follows:
[0078] First, the first transfer member 41 transfers the tray carrying multiple workpieces to be marked from the feeding assembly 70 to the support member 31;
[0079] Next, the clamping member 33 clamps the tray to the reference member 32 along the first direction, and the pushing member 35 clamps the tray to the lifting member 34 along the second direction, so that the first transfer member 41 accurately moves the workpiece to the positioning member 11, so that the positioning member 11 accurately positions the workpiece.
[0080] Then, the first transfer member 41 moves the positioned workpiece to the support fixture 21 so that the marking member 22 marks the positioned workpiece. The second transfer member 42 then moves the marked workpiece to the detection member 52. At the same time, the light-emitting member 53 emits light toward the workpiece moved to the detection member 52 so that the detection member 52 can acquire an image of the workpiece to detect the marking information of the workpiece and determine whether the workpiece is marked as qualified.
[0081] Finally, the second transfer member 42 moves the qualified workpieces to the tray on the support member 31. After the tray carries a preset number of qualified workpieces, the lifting member 34 descends along a third direction, and the pushing member 36 pushes the tray to the conveying component 60. The conveying component 60 then conveys the tray to a preset position.
[0082] In this way, the various components in the marking device 100 work together to continuously complete the operation processes of transferring the pallet, positioning the pallet, transferring the workpiece, positioning the workpiece, marking the workpiece, inspecting the workpiece, and moving the pallet, thereby achieving rapid completion of production operations and improving production efficiency.
[0083] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this application.
