Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material distribution equipment, and in particular to a material distribution device for adjusting the position of connectors. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the intelligent motor industry, the requirements for production efficiency and precision of key components such as brushes are increasing. As a crucial component of brush assemblies, the manufacturing process of connectors directly affects the performance and reliability of the final product. Traditional connector sorting devices suffer from several technical bottlenecks: First, manual sorting is inefficient and lacks precision, failing to meet the demands of mass production; second, existing automated equipment generally uses single-track conveying, which cannot achieve material orientation adjustment and precise positioning; third, traditional suction cup mechanisms have poor stability and are prone to material detachment during high-speed operation; furthermore, fixed sorting devices lack flexibility and are difficult to adapt to the production needs of connectors of different specifications.

[0003] As precision components formed by pressing copper and plastic parts together, connectors require special attention to surface protection and positioning accuracy during the material distribution process. Traditional vibratory feeder distribution methods easily cause scratches on the connector surface, affecting product appearance and quality. Furthermore, the right-angle turning material transfer process often requires complex mechanical structures, increasing equipment failure rates and maintenance costs. These technical shortcomings severely restrict the automation level and production efficiency of brush assembly production lines. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a material sorting device for adjusting the position of connectors, which solves the problems of low efficiency and difficulty in ensuring accuracy of manual sorting in existing connector sorting devices, which cannot meet the needs of mass production. At the same time, existing automated equipment generally uses a single track conveyor, which cannot realize the direction adjustment and precise positioning of materials.

[0005] The technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application are as follows.

[0006] A material distribution device for adjusting the position of a connector includes a base plate, a first conveying track disposed on the base plate, a second conveying track disposed on the base plate, a suction cup for adsorbing the connector, and a transmission device for driving the suction cup. The discharge port of the first conveying track and the inlet of the second conveying track are placed perpendicularly. The transmission device is mounted on the base plate. The suction cup is mounted on the actuating end of the transmission device. The suction cup is located directly above the discharge port of the first conveying track.

[0007] A further technical solution is as follows: the transmission device includes a bending plate, an electric slide for driving the bending plate to rise and fall, a moving plate for driving the electric slide to move horizontally towards the feed inlet of the second conveying track, a support frame mounted on the base plate, a limiting rail set at the top of the support frame, and a driving device for driving the moving plate to slide; two sets of suction cups arranged symmetrically are mounted on the bending plate; the bending plate is set on the output end of the electric slide; the electric slide is mounted on the moving plate; the moving plate is slidably connected to the limiting rail; the driving device is mounted on one side of the top of the support frame, and the driving end of the driving device is drivenly connected to the moving plate.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the driving device is a cylinder.

[0009] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0010] 1. The device employs a base plate, a first conveyor track, a second conveyor track, suction cups, and a transmission mechanism. The vertical layout of the first and second conveyor tracks enables precise 90-degree turning of the material flow, solving the problem of traditional single-track systems being unable to change material direction. The suction cups utilize a symmetrical dual-point adsorption structure, with stable support from a bent plate ensuring secure gripping of the connectors during transfer and effectively preventing material detachment. The precision drive system of the transmission mechanism, with the coordinated operation of an electric slide and a cylinder drive, along with the guiding action of the limit rail, achieves precise positioning of the suction cups in three-dimensional space. The smooth and reliable horizontal movement of the moving plate along the limit rail ensures accurate placement of the connectors on the second conveyor track. The support frame provides a stable installation foundation for the entire transmission system, and its rigid structure effectively absorbs vibrations during equipment operation. The special geometry of the bent plate optimizes the working angle of the suction cups, making adsorption and release actions smoother. The modular design of this device makes it highly adaptable; by adjusting the installation position of the suction cups and changing different sizes of nozzles, it can quickly adapt to the production needs of connectors of different sizes. The standardized design of the base plate facilitates integration of the equipment into existing production lines. The non-contact suction cup feeding method maximizes the protection of the surface quality of connectors, especially copper components. Acrylic suction nozzles prevent surface scratches that can occur with traditional mechanical clamping. The equipment operates stably and reliably, and maintenance is simple. Major moving parts such as the electric slide and cylinder drive unit adopt standardized designs for easy replacement. The wear-resistant design of the limit rails extends the equipment's service life and reduces maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0014] This application provides a material sorting device for adjusting the position of connectors, which solves the problems of low efficiency and difficulty in ensuring accuracy of manual sorting in existing connector sorting devices, which cannot meet the needs of mass production. At the same time, existing automated equipment generally uses a single track conveyor, which cannot realize the direction adjustment and precise positioning of materials.

[0016] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0017] A dispensing device for adjusting the position of connectors, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a base plate 1, a first conveying track 2 set on the base plate 1, a second conveying track 3 set on the base plate 1, a suction cup 4 for adsorbing the plug-in parts, and a transmission device 5 for driving the suction cup 4 to run; the discharge port of the first conveying track 2 and the inlet of the second conveying track 3 are placed perpendicularly; the transmission device 5 is installed on the base plate 1; the suction cup 4 is installed on the working end of the transmission device 5; the suction cup 4 is located directly above the discharge port of the first conveying track 2.

[0018] The transmission device 5 includes a bending plate 51, an electric slide table 52 for driving the bending plate 51 to rise and fall, a moving plate 53 for driving the electric slide table 52 to move horizontally towards the feed inlet of the second conveying track 3, a support frame 54 mounted on the base plate 1, a limiting rail 55 set at the top of the support frame 54, and a driving device 56 for driving the moving plate 53 to slide. Two sets of suction cups 4 are mounted on the bending plate 51 in a symmetrical arrangement. The bending plate 51 is set on the output end of the electric slide table 52.

The driving device 56 is mounted on one side of the top of the support frame 54, and the driving end of the driving device 56 is connected to the moving plate 53.

[0019] The drive unit 56 is a cylinder.

[0020] The first conveying track 2 and the second conveying track 3 are arranged perpendicularly to form an L-shaped material flow path. The transmission device 5 consists of a bending plate 51, an electric slide table 52, a moving plate 53, a support frame 54, a limiting rail 55, and a cylinder drive device 56.

[0021] Beneficial effects

[0022] By employing a base plate 1, a first conveying track 2, a second conveying track 3, a suction cup 4, and a transmission device 5, the vertical layout of the first and second conveying tracks 2 and 3 enables precise 90-degree turning adjustments of the material flow direction, solving the problem that traditional single tracks cannot change the material direction. The suction cup 4 uses a symmetrical double-point adsorption structure, and the stable support of the bending plate 51 ensures a firm grip during the transfer of the connector, effectively preventing material detachment. The precision drive system of the transmission device 5, consisting of an electric slide table 52 and a cylinder drive device 56 working in tandem, combined with the guiding effect of the limiting rail 55, achieves precise positioning of the suction cup 4 in three-dimensional space. The moving plate 53 moves smoothly and reliably along the horizontal movement of the limiting rail 55, ensuring the accurate placement of the connector on the second conveying track 3. The support frame 54 provides a stable installation foundation for the entire transmission system, and its rigid structure effectively absorbs vibrations during equipment operation. The special geometry of the bending plate 51 optimizes the working angle of the suction cup 4, making the adsorption and release actions smoother. The modular design of this device makes it highly adaptable. By adjusting the installation position of the suction cup 4 and replacing different sizes of suction nozzles, it can quickly adapt to the production needs of connectors of different sizes. The standardized design of the base plate 1 facilitates integration of the equipment into existing production lines. The non-contact suction cup 4 material distribution method maximizes the protection of the surface quality of the connectors, especially copper components.
