Detailed Implementation

[0021] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5A material distribution mechanism for a collection tray includes a first dispensing horizontal plate 11, a reference limiting block 12, a floating clamping block assembly 13, and a material distribution assembly 14. The first dispensing horizontal plate 11 has a through-hole 111. The reference limiting block 12 and the floating clamping block assembly 13 are both mounted on the upper side of the first dispensing horizontal plate 11. A clip b for receiving a collection tray a is disposed between the reference limiting block 12 and the floating clamping block assembly 13. A lifting rod 15 is embedded in the lifting hole 111. The lifting rod 15 can move longitudinally to extend into the clip b and drive the collection tray a within the clip b to move longitudinally toward the material distribution assembly 14. The material distribution assembly 14 includes two brushes 141 disposed on the top of the clip b. The two brushes 141 are arranged opposite each other, forming a material distribution channel between them. The width of the material distribution channel is smaller than the diameter of the collection tray a.

[0025] In this embodiment, the lifting rod 15 is driven to move longitudinally by the linear slide module 151 mounted on the first sub-packaging horizontal plate 11. During use, the magazine b is transferred to the first sub-packaging horizontal plate 11 by the first gripping module and clamped and limited by the reference limiting block 12 and the floating clamping block assembly 13. It should be noted that there are several lifting holes 111, spaced apart along the second direction Y on the first sub-packaging horizontal plate 11, with one magazine b corresponding to one lifting hole 111. In this embodiment, as... Figure 4 As shown, the magazine b contains a cartridge cavity b1, with a through hole b2 extending through the bottom of the cartridge cavity b1. The cartridge cavity b1 is used to stack the collecting plate a. The diameter of the through hole b2 is smaller than the diameter of the cartridge cavity b1 and also smaller than the diameter of the collecting plate a, so the collecting plate a will not leak out from the through hole b2 during transport. In use, when the magazine b is assembled on the first sub-assembly horizontal plate 11, the through hole b2 corresponds to and connects to the lifting hole 111, and the lifting rod 15 can move longitudinally to extend into or out of the cartridge cavity b1 through the through hole b2. More specifically, when material needs to be supplied, the lifting rod 15 lifts the stacked collection plates a longitudinally upwards. The uppermost collection plate a reaches the material distribution component 14. An external gripper (not shown in the figure), such as a suction cup, grips the uppermost collection plate a. Under the action of the brush 141, it is ensured that the uppermost collection plate a and its adjacent collection plates a can be separated smoothly. The brush 141 is soft and has little impact on the collection plates a on the gripper while separating the lower collection plates a, thus avoiding damage to the collection plates a during the material distribution process.

[0026] Furthermore, the reference limiting block 12 has a V-groove 121 on one side facing the floating clamping block assembly 13 for limiting the magazine b. The V-groove 121 here is used to limit the magazine b.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the floating clamping block assembly 13 includes an adjusting seat plate 131 adjustablely disposed on the upper side of the first dispensing horizontal plate 11. A fixed seat plate 132 is disposed on the adjusting seat plate 131, and a pressure block 133 is slidably mounted on the fixed seat plate 132. A first limiting plate 134 is disposed at the end of the fixed seat plate 132 away from the reference limiting block 12. The pressure block 133 is located between the first limiting plate 134 and the reference limiting block 12. A first buffer spring 135 is disposed between the pressure block 133 and the first limiting plate 134. In this embodiment, the adjusting seat plate 131 is slidably mounted on the first dispensing horizontal plate 11 via a slide rail slider assembly and is driven by a cylinder mounted on the first dispensing horizontal plate 11 to move closer to or away from the reference limiting block 12. To facilitate driving, in this embodiment, the adjusting seat plates 131 of multiple floating clamping block assemblies 13 can be designed as a single unit, which helps to reduce costs. When the magazine b needs to be clamped, the cylinder drives the adjusting seat plate 131 to move toward the reference limit block 12. When the pressure block 133 abuts against the magazine b, the first buffer spring 135 is compressed and absorbs energy, so as to achieve flexible contact between the pressure block 133 and the magazine b, pressing the magazine b while avoiding rigid contact between the two and avoiding damage to the equipment.

[0028] In this embodiment, the material distribution assembly 14 further includes a second dispensing horizontal plate 142, which is located above the first dispensing horizontal plate 11. The clip b mounted on the collecting plate dispensing mechanism is located between the first dispensing horizontal plate 11 and the second dispensing horizontal plate 142. A transition sleeve 143 corresponding to the clip b is mounted on the second dispensing horizontal plate 142. The transition sleeve 143 penetrates the second dispensing horizontal plate 142, and the brush 141 extends at least partially to the outlet end of the transition sleeve 143. In use, the transition sleeve 143 abuts against the outlet of the clip b longitudinally and communicates with the cartridge cavity b1 of the clip b. The collecting plate a in the cartridge cavity b1 enters the transition sleeve 143 under the drive of the lifting rod 15. The gripper passes through the gap between the two brushes 141 and extends into the sleeve to grip the collecting plate a. During the process of grabbing the uppermost collector plate a and separating it from the transition sleeve 143, the collector plate a adjacent to it is ensured to separate under the action of the brush 141 and cannot be separated from the transition sleeve 143.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, a guide rail frame 144 is disposed on the upper side of the first sub-assembly horizontal plate 11. A sub-assembly lifting frame 145 is adjustablely mounted on the guide rail frame 144 along the longitudinal direction. The second sub-assembly horizontal plate 142 is adjustablely disposed on the sub-assembly lifting frame 145. Specifically, the second sub-assembly horizontal plate 142 is slidably mounted on the top of the sub-assembly lifting frame 145 via a slide rail slider assembly, and is driven by a cylinder disposed on the sub-assembly lifting frame 145 to move along the first direction X, thereby being able to be misaligned with the first sub-assembly horizontal plate 11 to facilitate the loading and unloading of the magazine b on the first sub-assembly horizontal plate 11. The sub-assembly lifting frame 145 is slidably mounted on the guide rail frame 144 along the longitudinal direction via a slide rail slider assembly, and is driven by a cylinder mounted on the guide rail frame 144 to adjust the height of the second sub-assembly horizontal plate 142 in the longitudinal direction, that is, to adjust the longitudinal distance between the transition sleeve 143 and the corresponding magazine b. In use, first, the second sub-assembly horizontal plate 142 is misaligned with the first sub-assembly horizontal plate 11. Then, after the magazine b is assembled onto the first sub-assembly horizontal plate 11, the second sub-assembly horizontal plate 142 is reset so that the transition sleeve 143 is coaxially aligned with the magazine b. Then, the height of the second sub-assembly horizontal plate 142 is lowered so that the transition sleeve 143 and its corresponding magazine b abut and connect.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two sub-assembly support plates 146 are arranged on the upper side of the second sub-assembly horizontal plate 142. The transition sleeve 143 and the brush 141 are located between the two sub-assembly support plates 146. The brush 141 is installed on the sub-assembly support plate 146 adjacent to the brush 141 via a pad 1411. The two sub-assembly support plates 146 are connected by a pressure frame bracket 147, which is located on the upper side of the transition sleeve 143. A first guide shaft 148 is mounted on the transition sleeve 143. The first guide shaft 148 passes through the pressure frame bracket 147 and is slidably connected to it. A second buffer spring 149 is sleeved on the first guide shaft 148, and the second buffer spring 149 is located between the transition sleeve 143 and the pressure frame bracket 147. In this embodiment, the end of the first guide shaft 148 on the upper side of the pressure frame bracket 147 is provided with a shoulder or equipped with a nut to prevent it from detaching from the pressure frame bracket 147 longitudinally downward. When in use, as the second sub-packing horizontal plate 142 moves longitudinally downwards and approaches the first sub-packing horizontal plate 11, rigid contact between the transition sleeve 143 and the magazine b can be avoided, ensuring that the transition sleeve 143 and the magazine b are pressed together while preventing damage to the equipment.
