Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle production line technology, and more specifically, to a material feeding rack and a vehicle production line. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the heat insulation pads at the bottom of the vehicle cab are assembled using an automated assembly line. The assembly steps mainly involve gripping, positioning, and fixing the heat insulation pads.

[0003] During the process of grasping thermal insulation pads, a robotic arm is usually used to grab the thermal insulation pads stacked on the rack. In order to avoid accidentally grabbing multiple thermal insulation pads at once, it is generally necessary to manually separate two adjacent thermal insulation pads to leave enough grasping space for the robotic arm's actuator. Manual assistance is not only inefficient, but also prone to operational errors.

[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the technical problems of low efficiency and easy operation errors when using a robotic arm to grasp thermal insulation pads. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a batching rack and vehicle production line to solve the technical problems of low efficiency and easy operation error when manually assisting the robotic arm to grasp the heat insulation pad.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a feeding rack is provided, comprising: a rack body having a receiving cavity with a material picking channel; and multiple partition components disposed within the receiving cavity, the multiple partition components being spaced apart in a horizontal direction, with a limiting space for accommodating a heat insulation pad formed between adjacent partition components, wherein the distance between adjacent partition components is greater than the thickness of the heat insulation pad.

[0007] Furthermore, a support plate is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity, and multiple partition components are respectively connected to the support plate. The multiple partition components are spaced apart along the width direction of the receiving cavity. A first receiving area is formed between the partition components and the first side wall of the receiving cavity, and a second receiving area is formed between the partition components and the second side wall of the receiving cavity. The first side wall and the second side wall are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the receiving cavity, so that the portion of the heat insulation pad located in the limiting space extends into the first receiving area and the second receiving area.

[0008] Furthermore, the support plate is set at an angle to the horizontal plane so that the heat insulation pad located in the confined space abuts against the interlayer assembly under the action of gravity.

[0009] Furthermore, the partition assembly includes multiple partitions, which are respectively connected to the support plate. The multiple partitions are spaced apart along the length of the receiving cavity. The multiple partitions include a first partition near the first sidewall and a second partition near the second sidewall. A first receiving area is formed between the first partition and the first sidewall, and a second receiving area is formed between the second partition and the second sidewall.

[0010] Furthermore, the partition assembly is detachably connected to the support plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the material intake channel is located on the side of the receiving cavity, the partition assembly is located near the bottom of the receiving cavity, and the height of the heat insulation pad located in the limiting space is greater than the height of the partition assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the material handling channel extends vertically through the top of the receiving cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, the material rack body includes: a first longitudinal frame, having two first longitudinal frames, the two first longitudinal frames being spaced apart, forming a material picking channel between the two first longitudinal frames; a second longitudinal frame, the second longitudinal frame being connected to the side of the two first longitudinal frames; and a transverse frame, the transverse frame being connected to the bottom of the two first longitudinal frames and the second longitudinal frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the second longitudinal frame has a support portion for supporting the thermal insulation pad.

[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle production line is provided, the vehicle production line including a material feeding rack, the material feeding rack being the aforementioned material feeding rack.

[0016] Applying the technical solution of this utility model, multiple partition components are horizontally spaced within the receiving cavity of the material rack body, forming a limiting space between adjacent partition components. The width of the limiting space is greater than the thickness of the heat insulation pad. Multiple heat insulation pads are correspondingly placed within their respective limiting spaces, with a gap between each heat insulation pad and its corresponding partition component. This gap distinguishes the heat insulation pads, preventing the robotic arm from grasping multiple heat insulation pads at once. The aforementioned material rack can separate multiple heat insulation pads without requiring manual assistance, thus improving the accuracy and efficiency of grasping. Attached Figure Description

However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and therefore their description will be omitted.

[0030] Combination Figure 1 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a dispensing rack is provided.

[0031] Specifically, the feeding rack includes: a rack body 1 and partition components 2. The rack body 1 has a receiving cavity with a material picking channel. There are multiple partition components 2, which are disposed in the receiving cavity and are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. A limiting space for accommodating the heat insulation pad 4 is formed between two adjacent partition components 2, wherein the distance between two adjacent partition components 2 is greater than the thickness of the heat insulation pad 4.

[0032] In the embodiments of this application, multiple partition components 2 are horizontally spaced within the receiving cavity of the material rack body 1, forming a limiting space between adjacent partition components 2. The width of the limiting space is greater than the thickness of the heat insulation pad 4. Multiple heat insulation pads 4 are correspondingly placed within each limiting space, with a gap between the heat insulation pad 4 and its corresponding partition component 2. This gap distinguishes each heat insulation pad 4, preventing the robotic arm from grasping multiple heat insulation pads 4 at once. The aforementioned material rack can separate multiple heat insulation pads 4 without requiring manual assistance in separating them, thus improving the accuracy and efficiency of grasping.

[0033] It should be noted that during use, the material rack should be positioned so that one side of the heat insulation pad 4 abuts against the partition assembly 2, so that there is sufficient space between two adjacent heat insulation pads 4, ensuring that the robotic arm can only grab one heat insulation pad 4 at a time.

[0034] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, a support plate 3 is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity, and a plurality of partition components 2 are respectively connected to the support plate 3. The plurality of partition components 2 are spaced apart along the width direction of the receiving cavity. A first receiving area is formed between the partition components 2 and the first sidewall of the receiving cavity, and a second receiving area is formed between the partition components 2 and the second sidewall of the receiving cavity. The first sidewall and the second sidewall are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the receiving cavity, so that a portion of the heat insulation pad 4 located in the limiting space extends into the first receiving area and the second receiving area.

[0035] It should be noted that, as Figure 1As shown, the heat insulation pad 4 is placed vertically within the confined space. The heat insulation pad 4 has folded edges on both its left and right sides, with the bending directions of the two folded edges being consistent. The separator assembly 2 does not extend to the left and right side walls of the receiving cavity, but rather forms a first receiving area and a second receiving area between itself and the left and right side walls of the receiving cavity, so that the folded edges on the left and right sides of the heat insulation pad 4 are respectively received into the first receiving area and the second receiving area. The first receiving area and the second receiving area are not separated in the horizontal direction, meaning that multiple heat insulation pads 4 share the first receiving area and the second receiving area.

[0036] The setting of the first and second accommodating areas can divide the accommodating cavity into multiple limiting spaces according to the central thickness of the heat insulation pad 4, without having to consider the folded edge width on the left and right sides of the heat insulation pad 4. This allows the accommodating cavity to accommodate more heat insulation pads 4, increases the capacity of the feeding rack, reduces the number of feeding cycles of the heat insulation pad 4, and helps to speed up the assembly cycle of the heat insulation pad 4.

[0037] Furthermore, the support plate 3 is set at an angle to the horizontal plane so that the heat insulation pad 4 located in the confined space abuts against the partition assembly 2 under the action of gravity. The support plate 3 is set at an angle to the horizontal plane, that is, the support plate 3 is in an inclined state. At this inclined angle, the heat insulation pad 4 can abut against the corresponding partition assembly 2. Since the distance between two adjacent partition assemblies 2 is greater than the thickness of the heat insulation pad 4, a large isolation space is maintained between adjacent heat insulation pads 4.

[0038] The support plate 3 is tilted. During the feeding process of the heat insulation pad 4, the position of the heat insulation pad 4 needs to be manually adjusted. Under the action of gravity, the heat insulation pad 4 makes contact with the corresponding partition component 2, thereby improving the feeding speed.

[0039] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the partition assembly 2 includes a plurality of partitions, which are respectively connected to the support plate 3. The plurality of partitions are spaced apart along the length of the receiving cavity. The plurality of partitions include a first partition 21 near the first sidewall and a second partition 22 near the second sidewall. A first receiving area is formed between the first partition 21 and the first sidewall, and a second receiving area is formed between the second partition 22 and the second sidewall.

[0040] It should be noted that when the heat insulation pad 4 is located within the limiting space, the heat insulation pad 4 needs to abut against the corresponding partition assembly 2 to increase the gap between adjacent heat insulation pads 4; the partition assembly 2 includes multiple partitions to give the heat insulation pad 4 multiple support points to prevent the heat insulation pad 4 from shifting.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, the partition assembly 2 includes a first partition 21 and a second partition 22, which are spaced apart along the length of the receiving cavity. When the heat insulation pad 4 is located within the limiting space, the middle part of the heat insulation pad 4 abuts against the first partition 21 and the second partition 22, and the folded edges on the left and right sides of the heat insulation pad 4 extend into the first receiving area and the second receiving area, respectively.

[0042] Preferably, the partition assembly 2 is detachably connected to the support plate 3.

[0043] The partition assembly 2 is detachably connected to the support plate 3, and the distance between two adjacent partition assemblies 2 can be adjusted according to the gripping requirements of the robotic arm and the size of the heat insulation pad 4.

[0044] Specifically, the support plate 3 has multiple elongated holes, which are spaced apart along the length of the support plate 3, and each elongated hole extends along the width of the support plate 3. The partition assembly 2 includes a first partition 21 and a second partition 22, both of which have threaded holes. Both the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 can be adjusted along the length of the elongated holes to change the distance between two adjacent partition assemblies 2.

[0045] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the material intake channel is located on the side of the receiving cavity, the partition assembly 2 is disposed near the bottom of the receiving cavity, and the height of the heat insulation pad 4 located in the limiting space is greater than the height of the partition assembly 2.

[0046] The height of the heat insulation pad 4 is greater than the height of the partition assembly 2, meaning that the partition assembly can only cover part of the area of ​​the heat insulation pad 4 to leave enough space for the robotic arm to grasp.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the partition assembly 2 includes a first partition 21 and a second partition 22. Both the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 are rectangular plates. The height of the rectangular plates is much smaller than the height of the material rack body 1 and the height of the rectangular plates is much smaller than the height of the heat insulation pad 4.

[0048] Preferably, the material receiving channel extends vertically through the top of the receiving cavity.

[0049] When the robotic arm grasps the heat insulation pad 4, it can remove the heat insulation pad 4 from the top and side of the receiving cavity, facilitating flexible operation of the robotic arm. The material handling channel is set through the top of the receiving cavity, and the heat insulation pad 4 can extend from the top of the receiving cavity, thereby reducing the design height of the material rack body 1 and saving manufacturing costs.

[0050] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the rack body 1 includes: a first longitudinal frame 11, a second longitudinal frame 12, and a transverse frame 13; there are two first longitudinal frames 11, which are spaced apart and form a material picking channel between them. The second longitudinal frame 12 is connected to the sides of the two first longitudinal frames 11; the transverse frame 13 is connected to the bottom of the two first longitudinal frames 11 and the second longitudinal frame 12.

[0051] All parts of the material rack body 1 adopt a frame structure, which saves material costs while ensuring the strength of the material rack body 1.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the first longitudinal frame 11, the second longitudinal frame 12, and the transverse frame 13 are all welded from square tubes, and each frame is a rectangular frame.

[0053] The second longitudinal frame 12 has a support portion 121 for supporting the heat insulation pad 4.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support portion 121 of the second longitudinal frame 12 is a vertically arranged longitudinal beam.

[0055] As an alternative implementation, the support portion 121 of the second longitudinal frame 12 can be a horizontally arranged crossbeam.

[0056] According to another specific embodiment of this application, a vehicle production line is provided, which includes a material rack, the material rack being the material rack in the above embodiment.

[0057] Specifically, the dispensing rack includes a rack body 1 and partition components 2. The rack body 1 has a receiving cavity with a material picking channel. Multiple partition components 2 are disposed within the receiving cavity and are spaced horizontally apart. Adjacent partition components 2 form a limiting space for accommodating heat insulation pads 4, wherein the distance between adjacent partition components 2 is greater than the thickness of the heat insulation pads 4. This dispensing rack can separate multiple heat insulation pads 4 without manual assistance, thus improving the accuracy and efficiency of the grasping process.

[0058] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures.

Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
