Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive plastic parts processing technology, specifically an automated automotive plastic parts pressing hardware device. Background Technology
[0002] When used, automotive plastic parts processing can replace some metal parts, reducing the overall weight of the car and thus lowering fuel consumption, while also saving production costs for the factory. However, the processing of automotive plastic parts requires the use of pressing equipment. If the pressing equipment has a low degree of automation, the factory needs to invest more manpower, increasing expenses. To overcome these shortcomings, prior art 1 (Chinese patent application No. 202411081962.4, application date 2024-08-08) describes an automated hardware production equipment that can complete the automated production of hardware parts, improving production efficiency. Prior art 2 (application No. 201921564) (Chinese Patent Application No. 103.5, filed on 2019-09-19) discloses an automated material conveying device for hardware processing. During operation, a first spring applies force to a first clamping plate, allowing it to engage with a second clamping plate to hold hardware parts of different sizes. When a baffle contacts a second support plate and tilts to a certain angle, the hardware parts fall from between the first and second clamping plates into a collection box. Then, the second spring pulls the second support plate back to its original position, saving conveying time and achieving automation. When small hardware parts need to be conveyed, the clamping device can be removed, and a suitable device for conveying small hardware parts can be installed, increasing the practicality of the automated material conveying device for hardware processing and ensuring that hardware parts are not lost during conveying.
[0003] During the processing and conveying of hardware parts, they need to be inspected and defective products need to be removed. However, the device in the above application does not have a structure to assist in removing defective products during use, which leads to defective products being mixed in with finished hardware products, causing unnecessary trouble to the hardware production process.

Furthermore, the high-precision gripper is internally equipped with a cylinder three for controlling the Z-axis direction and a cylinder four for controlling the Y-axis direction.
[0009] Preferably, the inspector is provided with a second stop and a proximity switch inside.
[0010] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame, and a connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The connecting shaft is threadedly connected to the toggle block, and the motor is electrically connected to the detection head.
[0011] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame, and the limiting rod is sleeved with the toggle block.
[0012] Preferably, a working plate is fixedly connected to the side of the lever, and a first magnet is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the working plate, and the first magnets are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the working plate.
[0013] Preferably, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame, and the guide plate is sleeved and connected to the surface of the guide plate, and the guide plate is inclined, and the inner wall of the frame is convex.
[0014] Preferably, a lower connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the drainage plate, and a second magnet is fixedly connected to the end of the lower connecting rod. The magnetic pole at the end of the second magnet is the same as the magnetic pole on the upper surface of the first magnet. A return spring is fixedly connected between the lower surface of the drainage plate and the guide plate.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the automated automotive plastic parts pressing device adopts a novel structural design, the specific details of which are as follows:
[0016] (1) In the operation of this automated automotive plastic parts pressing device, the metal vibrating plate shakes the workpiece out in an orderly manner and enters the storage container. When the storage container and the directional injection device are full of workpieces, the plastic parts are put into the automatic positioning conveyor by the operator so that the plastic parts opening is aligned with the metal. Then, the high-precision plastic parts gripper grips the plastic parts. When the cylinder two in the directional injection device runs, the plastic parts are made to fit with the metal. At this time, the cylinder two moves forward and the workpiece slides down into the inspection device. The proximity switch checks whether there is metal. If not, an alarm is set. If there is, the stop block two is opened and the finished product flows into the next stage.
[0017] (2) After the workpieces in the inspector are discharged, they will enter the conveyor belt through the guide plate and be transported by the conveyor belt. At the same time, they will be detected by the detection head. When an abnormal workpiece is detected, the motor starts and the connecting shaft rotates. Then, the pusher moves horizontally under the action of the connecting shaft and the limit rod. At this time, the pusher pushes the abnormal workpiece to the side of the conveyor belt and removes it from the workpiece queue, making it easier for the staff to identify and pick it up.
[0018] (3) When the push block moves, the working plate and the first magnet will move synchronously. Then the first magnet will intermittently approach the second magnet. At this time, the guide plate will reciprocate in a straight line in the vertical direction under the action of mutual repulsive magnetic force, guide plate and reset spring. At this time, the guide plate can better discharge the workpiece and will not cause workpiece blockage.
[0019] Furthermore, the number one magnet is evenly distributed on the upper surface of the working plate, which increases the working frequency of the flow guide plate and improves the working efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0032] 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.
[0033] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated device for pressing metal parts for automotive plastic parts.
[0034] Example 1: Through the configured metal vibratory feeder 1 and frame 7, workpieces can be processed quickly, achieving a high degree of automation and high work efficiency. Figures 1-8As shown, the device includes a metal vibratory feeder 1 and a frame 7. The metal vibratory feeder 1 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame 7, and a storage container 2 is provided on the upper surface of the frame 7. An automatic positioning conveyor 3 is also provided on the upper surface of the frame 7, and an inspector 6 is provided on the upper surface of the frame 7. A high-precision gripper 5 is provided on the side of the inspector 6. A directional inserter 4 is provided on the upper surface of the frame 7. A metal feed port is provided on the surface of the storage container 2, and a stop block is provided inside the storage container 2 to prevent the metal from falling.
[0035] The directional inserter 4 has a cylinder 1 inside that guides the metal part forward for positioning, and a cylinder 2 inside that allows the metal surface to contact the plastic part. The high-precision plastic part gripper 5 includes a clamp for gripping and controlling the plastic part, and also includes a slider for high-precision transmission. The high-precision plastic part gripper 5 has a cylinder 3 inside that controls the Z-axis direction, and a cylinder 4 inside that controls the Y-axis direction. The inspector 6 has a stop block 2 inside, and a proximity switch inside.
[0036] During operation, the metal vibratory feeder 1 vibrates the workpieces out in an orderly manner and they enter the storage container 2. When the storage container 2 and the directional inserter 4 are full of workpieces, the plastic parts are placed into the automatic positioning conveyor 3 by the operator, so that the plastic parts opening is aligned with the metal parts. Then, the high-precision plastic parts gripper 5 grips the plastic parts. When the cylinder 2 in the directional inserter 4 runs, it makes the plastic parts adhere to the metal parts. At this time, the cylinder 2 moves forward, and the workpiece slides down into the inspection device 6. The proximity switch checks whether there are any metal parts. If not, an alarm is triggered. If there are, the stop block 2 is opened, and the finished product flows into the next stage.
[0037] Example 2: Unlike Example 1, by using the set lever 15, abnormal workpieces can be pushed out of the normal workpiece queue, making them easier for workers to identify and retrieve. Figure 9 As shown, a flow guide plate 8 is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the frame 7, and a conveyor belt 9 is arranged on the inner wall of the frame 7. A detection head 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 7; a toggle block 15 is slidably arranged inside the frame 7.
[0038] A motor 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame 7, and a connecting shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12. The connecting shaft 13 and the lever 15 are threadedly connected, and the motor 12 and the detection head 10 are electrically connected. A limit rod 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 7, and a lever 15 is sleeved on the surface of the limit rod 14.
[0039] After the workpieces in the inspector 6 are discharged, they will enter the conveyor belt 9 through the guide plate 8 and be transported by the conveyor belt 9. At the same time, they will be detected by the detection head 10. When an abnormal workpiece is detected, the motor 12 starts, the connecting shaft 13 rotates, and the push block 15 moves horizontally under the action of the connecting shaft 13 and the limit rod 14. At this time, the push block 15 pushes the abnormal workpiece to the side of the conveyor belt 9 and removes it from the workpiece queue, making it easier for the staff to identify and pick it up.
[0040] Example 3: Unlike Example 2, the working plate 16 and the first magnet 17 can be used to make the guide plate 8 vibrate, thereby causing the workpiece to fall quickly, such as... Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a working plate 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the lever 15, and a first magnet 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the working plate 16. The first magnets 17 are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the working plate 16. A guide plate 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 7, and a diversion plate 8 is sleeved on the surface of the guide plate 11. The diversion plate 8 is inclined, and the inner wall of the frame 7 is convex. A lower connecting rod 18 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the diversion plate 8, and a second magnet 19 is fixedly connected to the end of the lower connecting rod 18. The magnetic pole at the end of the second magnet 19 is the same as the magnetic pole on the upper surface of the first magnet 17. A return spring 20 is fixedly connected between the lower surface of the diversion plate 8 and the guide plate 11.
[0041] When the toggle block 15 moves, it drives the working plate 16 and the first magnet 17 to move synchronously. As a result, the first magnet 17 will intermittently approach the second magnet 19. When the first magnet 17 approaches the second magnet 19, the guide plate 8 rises under the action of mutual repulsive magnetic force. At this time, the return spring 20 is stretched. When the first magnet 17 moves away from the second magnet 19, the guide plate 8 descends under the action of the return spring 20. The above process is repeated. At this time, the guide plate 8 will make reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction under the action of mutual repulsive magnetic force, guide plate 11 and return spring 20. At this time, the guide plate 8 can better discharge the workpiece and will not cause workpiece blockage. The protruding position of the inner wall of the frame 7 limits the maximum descent distance of the guide plate 8, which improves stability.
[0042] The above is the entire working process of the device, and all contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
