Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of suction cup tray stacking machine, and more specifically, it relates to a suction cup tray stacking machine that facilitates loading and unloading. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing, machine tools, as core processing equipment, have always been a key focus for the industry in terms of automating and improving the efficiency of their loading and unloading processes. Traditional machine tool loading and unloading methods mainly rely on manual operation or robotic arms. While these methods have improved production efficiency to some extent, they also face many challenges. Manual operation suffers from high labor intensity, low efficiency, and numerous safety hazards, while traditional robotic arms have limitations in terms of flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to handle different workpieces.

[0003] In recent years, with the continuous development of industrial automation technology, vacuum suction cup technology has been widely used in the field of industrial automation. Vacuum suction cups utilize the principle of vacuum to generate suction force, enabling the stable fixation, handling, or positioning of objects. They have demonstrated an irreplaceable role in many fields such as industrial automation, logistics handling, and precision manufacturing. In terms of materials, rubber vacuum suction cups have good elasticity and sealing properties, suitable for general industrial environments; silicone vacuum suction cups have excellent high-temperature resistance and chemical stability, functioning in high-temperature or corrosive environments; polyurethane vacuum suction cups have strong wear resistance and tear resistance, suitable for heavy-duty or frequent use scenarios. In terms of shape, flat vacuum suction cups are suitable for adsorption on flat surfaces; corrugated vacuum suction cups enhance adhesion to irregular surfaces through their corrugated design; and specially shaped vacuum suction cups can accurately grasp curved surfaces or objects with special structures. In terms of function, standard vacuum suction cups meet general adsorption needs; vacuum suction cups with buffer functions can automatically adjust suction force during adsorption to protect the adsorbed object; and vacuum suction cups with guiding functions achieve precise control of the object's position through a built-in guiding mechanism.

[0004] The inventors believe that when applying vacuum suction cup technology to the loading and unloading of machine tool trays, the suction cup needs a process to apply and release suction force, and when transferring suction cup boxes, it is easy to cause uneven distances between multiple suction cup boxes. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to maintain a stable spacing during transmission, thereby avoiding stacking or uneven spacing caused by speed differences.

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a suction cup tray loading machine that facilitates loading and unloading.

[0007] To achieve the aforementioned utility model objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model includes a conveying device on a machine tool, a feeding device on one side of the machine tool corresponding to the conveying device, and a discharging device on the other side; the conveying device is used to convey materials, the feeding device is used to place materials onto the conveying device, and the discharging device is used to remove materials from the conveying device; a conveyor belt is fitted over two conveying rollers, and multiple spacers are arrayed on the conveyor belt; the lower end of the spacer is fixedly connected to the conveyor chain; the spacer is an isosceles trapezoid, with its shorter side fixedly connected to the conveyor chain and its longer side located away from the conveyor chain; two spacer rollers are rotatably connected to the longer side of the spacer, the axial direction of the spacer rollers is perpendicular to the length direction of the conveyor belt, and the distance between the spacer rollers and the conveyor belt is less than the distance between the suction cup box and the conveyor belt.

[0008] Optionally, the conveying device includes two conveying rollers, which are rotatably connected to the machine tool and respectively disposed on both sides of the machine tool. A conveying gear is fixedly connected to the conveying roller and is arranged on the same axis. A conveying chain meshing with each other is sleeved between the two conveying gears.

[0009] Optionally, the feeding device includes an inclined feeding frame, with the lower point of the feeding frame close to the conveyor belt and the side inclined upward towards the side away from the conveyor belt. The feeding frame is hollow and the hollow position can hold a suction cup box. A feeding rod perpendicular to the upper surface of the feeding frame is provided near the conveyor belt.

[0010] Optionally, an inclined carriage is provided under the loading rack, with the lower point of the carriage close to the conveyor belt and the same inclination angle as the loading rack. The distance between the lower end of the carriage and the conveyor belt is the height of the suction cup box. A suction cup machine is provided on the side of the carriage away from the conveyor belt, located below the loading rack. Anti-dropping devices are provided on both sides of the carriage at a height lower than the suction cup box.

[0011] Optionally, the unloading device includes an unloading frame disposed on one side of the machine tool, on which multiple unloading rollers are arranged in a horizontal array, the axial direction of the unloading rollers being parallel to the axial direction of the conveying rollers.

[0012] Alternatively, when the suction cup box falls onto the spacer roller on the spacer, the rolling of the spacer roller can guide the suction cup box between the two spacers and place it on the conveyor belt for conveying.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model include:

[0014] (1) The present invention provides a suction cup tray arrangement machine that facilitates loading and unloading.

[0015] (2) The present invention provides a suction cup tray stacking machine that facilitates loading and unloading. The hollow clamping structure of the loading rack cooperates with the unloading rod to realize the regular stacking of suction cup boxes. The suction cup machine accurately transfers the bottom suction cup box to the slide by negative pressure adsorption. The tilt angle of the slide and the anti-drop design ensure that the suction cup box slides along the predetermined path to the conveyor belt, reducing the need for manual intervention;

[0016] (3) The suction cup tray stacking machine provided by this utility model is convenient for loading and unloading materials. It can achieve precise synchronization of the movement of the conveyor belt and the spacer frame through the direct connection between the conveyor roller and the drive motor, combined with the meshing transmission of the conveyor chain and gears. The consistency of angular velocity ensures that the suction cup boxes maintain a stable spacing during the conveying process, avoiding stacking or uneven spacing problems caused by speed differences.

[0029] Furthermore, to provide the public with a better understanding of this utility model, certain specific details are described in detail in the following description. However, those skilled in the art can fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, a suction cup tray loading machine for easy loading and unloading includes a machine tool 1, which is horizontally arranged with its upper surface horizontally arranged. A conveying device 2 is provided on the machine tool 1, a loading device 3 is provided on one side of the machine tool 1 corresponding to the conveying device 2, and a unloading device 5 is provided on the other side of the machine tool 1 corresponding to the conveying device 2.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the conveying device 2 includes two conveying rollers 21, which are rotatably connected to the machine tool 1. The two conveying rollers 21 are respectively arranged on both sides of the machine tool 1. A coaxial conveying gear 22 is fixedly connected to the conveying roller 21. A conveying chain 23 is sleeved between the two conveying gears 22. The conveying chain 23 and the conveying gear 22 mesh with each other. A drive motor 24 is arranged on the machine tool 1 at the position corresponding to the conveying roller 21. The output shaft of the drive motor 24 extends into the machine tool 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 24 is horizontally arranged and is fixedly connected to the corresponding conveying roller 21.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-2As shown, a conveyor belt 25 is fitted over two conveyor rollers 21. Multiple spacers 26 are arranged in an array on the conveyor belt 25. The lower end of the spacer 26 is fixed to the transmission chain. The spacer 26 is an isosceles trapezoid. The shorter side of the spacer 26 is fixed to the conveyor chain 23, and the longer side of the spacer 26 is located away from the conveyor chain 23. The spacer 26 is vertically arranged. Two spacer rollers 261 are rotatably connected to the longer side of the spacer 26. The axial direction of the spacer rollers 261 is perpendicular to the length direction of the conveyor belt 25. The two spacer rollers 261 are located at both ends on the same side of the spacer 26. The distance between the spacer rollers 261 and the conveyor belt 25 is less than the distance between the suction cup box 6 and the conveyor belt 25.

[0034] In use, the drive motor 24 rotates to drive the conveyor roller 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor gear 22 to rotate synchronously. The conveyor gear 22 is meshed with the conveyor chain 23, which drives the spacer 26 arrayed on the conveyor chain 23 to move. When the conveyor roller 21 rotates, it drives the conveyor belt 25 set outside the conveyor roller 21 to move. Since all are driven by the conveyor roller 21, the angular velocity is the same, which makes it easy to control the movement speed.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the feeding device 3 includes a feeding frame 31, which is inclined. The lower point of the feeding frame 31 is on the side closer to the conveyor belt 25, and the feeding frame 31 is inclined upward towards the side away from the conveyor belt 25. The feeding frame 31 is hollow, and the hollow opening of the feeding frame 31 can hold the suction cup box 6. A feeding rod 32 is provided on the upper surface of the feeding frame 31 near the conveyor belt 25, and the feeding rod 32 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the feeding frame 31.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, a slide 33 is provided under the loading rack 31. The slide 33 is inclined, with its lowest point being the side closer to the conveyor belt 25. The slide 33 is inclined upwards towards the side away from the conveyor belt 25, and the inclination angle of the slide 33 is the same as that of the loading rack 31. The distance between the lowest end of the slide 33 and the conveyor belt 25 is the height of the suction cup box 6. A suction cup machine 4 is provided on the side of the slide 33 away from the conveyor belt 25. The suction cup machine 4 is located below the loading rack 31 and is used to pick up the suction cup box 6, which is stuck in the hollow position of the loading rack 31, and then pull it onto the slide 33. Subsequently, the suction cup releases its suction force, causing the suction cup box 6 to slide down the slide 33. Anti-drop ribs 331 are provided on both sides of the slide 33, and the height of the anti-drop ribs 331 is lower than the height of the suction cup box 6.

[0037] In use, the suction cup boxes 6 are stacked sequentially on the feeding rack 31 and arranged along the axis of the feeding rod 32. The suction cup box 6 at the bottom is engaged in the hollow slot of the feeding rack 31. The suction cup of the suction cup machine 4 can hold the suction cup box 6 engaged in the hollow position of the feeding rack 31 and then pull it to the extension plane of the slide 33. Then the suction cup releases the suction force, causing the suction cup box 6 to slide down along the slide 33. The anti-drop ribs 331 on both sides of the slide 33 can make the suction cup box 6 slide along the length of the slide 33 onto the conveyor belt 25.

[0038] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, if the suction cup box 6 falls onto the spacer roller 261 on the spacer 26, the spacer roller 261 will guide the suction cup box 6 between the two spacers 26 and place it on the conveyor belt 25 for conveying. The lower end of the slide 33 is higher than the height of the suction cup box 6, which allows all products located under the slide 33 to be used repeatedly, thus achieving a clearance effect.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the unloading device 5 includes an unloading frame 51 disposed on one side of the machine tool 1. Multiple unloading rollers 52 are arranged in a horizontal array on the unloading frame 51. The axial direction of the unloading rollers 52 is parallel to the axial direction of the conveying rollers 21.

[0040] The advantages of this invention are: Transmission synchronization: Through the direct connection between the conveyor roller 21 and the drive motor 24, combined with the meshing transmission of the conveyor chain 23 and gears, precise synchronization of the movement of the conveyor belt 25 and the spacer 26 is achieved. Consistent angular velocity ensures that the suction cup boxes 6 maintain a stable spacing during transmission, avoiding stacking or uneven spacing problems caused by speed differences.

[0041] Material feeding reliability: The hollow clamping structure of the feeding rack 31, in conjunction with the feeding rod 32, enables the suction cup boxes 6 to be stacked in a regular manner. The suction cup machine 4 uses negative pressure adsorption to accurately transfer the bottom suction cup box 6 to the slide 33. The tilt angle of the slide 33 and the anti-drop design 331 ensure that the suction cup box 6 slides along the predetermined path to the conveyor belt 25, reducing the need for manual intervention.

[0042] Anti-fall design: The isosceles trapezoidal structure of the spacer 26, together with the rotatable spacer roller 261, when the suction cup box 6 accidentally deviates from the center of the conveyor belt 25, the spacer roller 261 guides the suction cup box 6 to the safe area between the two spacers 26 through rolling contact, effectively preventing the side tipping or falling off due to vibration or inertia during the transmission process.

[0043] Circulating yielding mechanism: The height difference design between the bottom of the carriage 33 and the conveyor belt 25 ensures that the suction cup box 6 that has slid down will not obstruct the transfer of subsequent materials. At the same time, the anti-dropping rib 331, which is lower than the height of the suction cup box 6, ensures the guiding function and avoids interference, forming a continuous unidirectional conveying flow.

[0044] Material feeding smoothness: The multiple parallel feeding rollers 52 of the feeding frame 51 are aligned with the axis of the conveyor roller 21. When the conveyor belt 25 transports the suction cup box 6 to the feeding end, the rolling friction of the rollers replaces the sliding friction, reducing the transfer resistance and allowing the suction cup box 6 to smoothly transition to the feeding area, facilitating the rapid connection of subsequent processes.

[0045] Automation integration: From the stacked feeding, directional sliding, and interval transmission of the suction cup box 6 to the directional unloading, all components achieve continuous automatic operation through mechanical linkage, reducing manual stacking and adjustment steps, and significantly improving production efficiency and transmission stability.

[0046] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. It should not be considered that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
