Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece shaping technology, and in particular to a multi-position detection flexible vibration mechanism for workpiece shaping. Background Technology

[0002] Workpiece shaping refers to the finishing or correction operations performed after machining and manufacturing to ensure that the shape, size, positional accuracy, or surface quality of the workpiece meets the final design requirements. Its core purpose is to correct deformations, errors, or defects generated during machining or processing, and to ensure that the workpiece meets the requirements of drawings or process specifications.

[0003] In existing workpiece shaping processes, a feeding device is used to place the workpiece in a storage tray, and then a robotic arm picks up the workpiece and places it inside the shaping mold. The two molds work together to fit the workpiece into the mold groove, ultimately shaping the workpiece into the specified shape.

[0004] In existing workpiece shaping processes, the workpieces need to be poured into a flexible vibratory feeder. The vibration of the feeder then causes the stacked workpieces to spread out and flatten, making it easier for the robotic arm to grasp them. However, existing feeding devices mainly use an inclined hopper to pour the workpieces into the vibratory feeder. After being poured in, the workpieces will be stacked on one side of the vibratory feeder, which increases the workload of the vibratory feeder in spreading the workpieces out and is not conducive to the spreading operation of the vibratory feeder, making it inconvenient to use.

Flexible vibration component. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a multi-position detection flexible vibration mechanism for workpiece shaping, including a feeding machine box 1, a shaping component 2 is provided on one side of the feeding machine box 1, a material bin 3 is provided on the side of the feeding machine box 1 away from the shaping component 2, a flexible vibration component 6 is installed inside the feeding machine box 1, a material tray assembly 4 is provided above the flexible vibration component 6, and a detection component 5 is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the feeding machine box 1.

[0031] The material tray assembly 4 includes a material plate 401 fixedly installed above the flexible vibration component 6. The upper surface of the flexible vibration component 6 is movably connected to a worm gear 405 through a bearing seat. The outer surface of the worm gear 405 is meshed with a ring tooth 403. The upper surface of the ring tooth 403 is fixedly connected to an inclined block 402.

[0032] Specifically, a geared motor 406 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the flexible vibration component 6, and the output end of the geared motor 406 is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear 405.

[0033] Specifically, the upper surface of the inclined block 402 is provided with several inclined grooves. The inclined block 402 is located on the side of the material plate 401 near the hopper 3. By setting the inclined grooves, the material falling above the inclined block 402 can be spread out under the guidance of the inclined grooves when it rolls down, making it easy to spread out.

[0034] Specifically, a soft curtain 407 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tilting block 402. The end of the soft curtain 407 away from the tilting block 402 abuts against the upper surface of the material plate 401. A limiting seat 404 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the flexible vibration component 6. A limiting groove is formed on the upper surface of the limiting seat 404. Both ends of the lower surface of the tilting block 402 are provided with protrusions that cooperate with the limiting grooves. By setting the soft curtain 407, the gap between the tilting block 402 and the material plate 401 is covered. By the cooperation between the limiting groove and the protrusions inside the limiting seat 404, the maximum tilting angle of the tilting block 402 is limited, and the tilting block 402 is stabilized.

[0035] Furthermore, the worm gear 405 is driven to rotate by the geared motor 406. The rotation of the worm gear 405 drives the ring gear 403 to rotate on the outer surface of the worm gear 405, thereby driving the tilting block 402 to rotate. This allows the material falling into the hopper 3 onto the upper surface of the tilting block 402 to gradually disperse under the action of the guide groove on the upper surface of the tilting block 402, thereby dispersing the material and preventing it from piling up in one place. This also helps to spread the material evenly. The connection relationship, working principle, and operation sequence between the vibrating component 6 and the shaping component 2 and other components are existing technologies and are common knowledge known to those skilled in the art. They will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The detection component 5 includes a fixed plate 501 fixedly installed inside the feeding machine box 1. A mounting base 502 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixed plate 501. A sliding plate 505 is provided on the upper surface of the mounting base 502. A visual guidance module 503 is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding plate 505 away from the fixed plate 501. A bidirectional threaded rod 507 is movably connected inside the mounting base 502. Two threaded sleeves 509 are engaged with the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 507. A mounting block 506 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded sleeves 509. A rotating rod 508 is hinged to the side of the mounting block 506 near the sliding plate 505. The end of the rotating rod 508 away from the mounting block 506 is hinged to the outer surface of the sliding plate 505.

[0037] Specifically, two abutment plates 510 are fixedly installed inside the sliding plate 505. A compression spring 513 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the abutment plate 510. A limit plate 512 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the compression spring 513. A plug rod 511 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the limit plate 512. The abutment plate 510 has a plug hole that mates with the plug rod 511. The upper surface of the mounting base 502 has several limit holes. The lower surface of the limit plate 512 has several soft protrusions that mate with the limit holes. Under the action of the abutment plate 510 and the compression spring 513, the soft protrusions on the lower surface of the limit plate 512 are driven to press the limit holes, thereby locking and ensuring the stability of the visual guidance module 503.

[0038] Specifically, the mounting base 502 has a rectangular opening inside, and the lower surface of the sliding plate 505 is provided with two L-shaped plates 504. The sliding of the sliding plate 505 is limited by the cooperation between the L-shaped plates 504 and the edge of the rectangular opening. The sliding plate 505 is locked to the mounting base 502 by the broken arm of the L-shaped plate 504 to prevent the sliding plate 505 from separating from the mounting base 502. The L-shaped plates 504 can be detachably installed on the lower surface of the sliding plate 505 by bolts or other tools.

[0039] Furthermore, the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 507 causes the threaded sleeve 509 to move the mounting block 506 on the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 507, thereby causing the rotating rod 508 to rotate. In turn, the rotating rod 508 causes the sliding plate 505 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the vision guidance module 503. This facilitates adjusting the vision guidance module 503 to be directly above the material plate 401. The connection relationship, working principle, and operation sequence between the vision guidance module 503 and other components are existing technologies and are common knowledge known to those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0040] Working Principle: During the loading operation for workpiece shaping, the material is placed into the hopper 3. The inclined hopper 3 causes the material to gradually fall onto the material plate 401. The inclined block 402 is positioned on the side of the material plate 401 closest to the hopper 3, allowing the workpiece to fall onto the upper surface of the inclined block 402. Before loading, the geared motor 406 drives the worm gear 405 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 405 drives the ring gear 403 to rotate on its outer surface, thereby rotating the inclined block 402. This allows the material falling onto the upper surface of the inclined block 402 from the hopper 3 to gradually disperse under the action of the guide groove on the upper surface of the inclined block 402, thus dispersing the material and preventing it from piling up. The geared motor 406 drives the worm gear 405 to rotate, and the interaction between the worm gear 405 and the ring gear 403 adjusts the tilt. The tilt angle of the inclined block 402 facilitates handling materials of different sizes. The vibrating component drives the material tray assembly 4 to vibrate, thereby spreading the material placed on the upper surface of the material plate 401. Under the action of the top vision guidance module 503, it can detect whether the material is spread evenly and guide the robot arm to grasp the material. The vision guidance module 503 can be adjusted by rotating the bidirectional threaded rod 507. The rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 507 causes the threaded sleeve 509 to move the mounting block 506 on the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 507, thereby driving the rotating rod 508 to rotate. In turn, the rotating rod 508 drives the sliding plate 505 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the vision guidance module 503 so that it faces the top of the material plate 401, and finally completing the workpiece loading operation.
