Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, specifically to the separation between electroplating fixtures and workpieces, and particularly to a feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Precision electroplating is a process that uses electrolytic deposition technology to form a uniform, dense, and high-precision metal coating on the surface of a substrate. In existing electroplating plants, multiple workpieces are typically arranged and clamped on a fixture during production. After electroplating is completed, the workpieces are then removed from the fixture.

[0003] For example, refer to Figure 1 The electroplating fixture includes a horizontal plate a and a clamping arm unit vertically arranged on one side of the horizontal plate a. The clamping arm unit consists of two clamping arms c, which are made of an elastic material, such as plastic, and are capable of elastic deformation. The clamping arm unit is used to clamp the workpiece d. Multiple clamping arm units are arranged in an array along the length direction of the horizontal plate a. It should be noted that the clamping arm unit clamping the workpiece d is a technology that can be implemented by existing technology, and will not be described in detail. It is only necessary to move the two clamping arms c away from each other to remove the clamping of the workpiece d.

[0004] In existing technologies, the workpiece d is usually removed from the clamping unit manually. This is not only very cumbersome, but the frequent repetitive actions can also cause worker fatigue and may cause the clamping arm c to be damaged due to excessive deformation.

[0005] Based on the above problems, this utility model proposes a material unloading device that can semi-automatically remove workpieces from the fixture. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background above, this utility model provides a material feeding device.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows.

[0008] A feeding device includes a movable table, an mounting frame is provided on the upper surface of the movable table, a separation component is provided on the mounting frame, the separation component includes a support seat horizontally arranged on the mounting frame, a pin is provided on the upper surface of the support seat, and multiple pins are arranged along the length direction of the support seat.

[0009] The horizontal plate a of the fixture connected to the workpiece is provided with pin holes b, which can be fitted onto the outside of the pin rod. There are multiple pin holes b.

[0010] The separation assembly also includes a spreading unit, which includes a spreading block one and a spreading block two arranged side by side. When the horizontal plate a of the clamp is placed on the upper surface of the support, the spreading unit is located between the two clamping arms c of the clamping arm unit of the clamp. Multiple spreading units are provided accordingly.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the mobile platform is equipped with leveling feet and casters.

[0012] Furthermore, the pin includes a lower cylindrical section and an upper frustum section, with the outer diameter of the upper frustum section decreasing from bottom to top.

[0013] Furthermore, all the first-sized support blocks are connected by the first main rod, and all the second-sized support blocks are connected by the second main rod.

[0014] The separation assembly also includes a drive component for driving the first main rod and the second main rod to move closer to or further apart from each other.

[0015] Furthermore, the drive component includes a lead screw and a motor that is powered by the lead screw. The lead screw is divided into two threaded sections with opposite helical directions along the axis. Each threaded section is provided with a nut, which is slidably connected to the mounting frame. The two nuts are respectively connected to main rod one and main rod two.

[0016] Furthermore, the separation assembly also includes a clamping component, which is used to keep the workpiece and the horizontal plate a of the fixture stationary during the separation process.

[0017] Furthermore, the clamping components include a vertical support and a traction member for moving the vertical support within a planar coordinate system, wherein the X-axis of the planar coordinate system is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the length direction of the support base, and the Y-axis is arranged vertically.

[0018] The vertical support is equipped with clamping components and pressure plates. When the workpiece is located in the clamping area of ​​the clamping components, the pressure plate presses down on the horizontal plate a of the fixture from top to bottom. There are multiple clamping components.

[0019] Furthermore, the traction component includes a horizontal support that is slidably mounted on the mounting frame along the X-axis direction and a linear module one for driving the horizontal support to move. The vertical support is slidably mounted on the horizontal support along the Y-axis direction, and a linear module two for driving the vertical support to move is provided on the horizontal support.

[0020] Furthermore, the clamping component includes a pneumatic gripper, and each of the two grippers of the pneumatic gripper has a soft clamping rod on its opposite side. The soft clamping rod is made of a soft material, and the area between the two soft clamping rods is the clamping area.

[0021] Furthermore, an air nozzle is installed above the clamping area, and all air nozzles are connected through a main air pipe, with an air pump installed at the end of the main air pipe.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] This solution enables semi-automatic removal of workpieces from fixtures, reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving production efficiency.

[0024] Furthermore, in the process of separating the workpiece from the fixture by driving the two supporting blocks away from each other and causing the two clamping arms b of the clamping unit to move away from each other and undergo elastic deformation, the workpiece is clamped by the clamping parts and the horizontal plate a of the fixture is pressed by the pressure plate, so that the separation process of the workpiece from the fixture is more stable and smooth.

[0025] Furthermore, the air nozzle is designed so that when the workpiece is separated from the fixture and the clamping parts release their grip on the workpiece, the air nozzle is activated, causing airflow to blow onto the workpiece. This can prevent slight adhesion between the workpiece and the clamping parts, which would affect the workpiece falling into the storage basket. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] In this document, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0040] Furthermore, in this article, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are defined relative to the orientation of the structure as shown in the attached drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the orientation of the structure.

[0041] Please see Figures 2 to 9 One embodiment of this application provides a feeding device, including a moving platform 1.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom of the movable platform 1 is equipped with leveling feet 2 and casters 3. The length of the leveling feet 2 is adjustable. Therefore, by adjusting the leveling feet 2, not only can the working surface (i.e., the upper surface) of the movable platform 1 be leveled, but it can also be determined whether the casters 3 are on the ground. If they are on the ground, the movable platform 1 can be moved easily. After moving to the set location, it will not touch the ground, so that the movable platform 1 is placed stably. It should be noted that the leveling feet 2 can be achieved using existing technology. For example, in daily life, the bottom of tables, chairs, or refrigerators are equipped with leveling feet, which can adjust the height of the refrigerator or tables and chairs. This is an existing technology and will not be elaborated. In addition, preferably, the leveling feet 2 are provided with four and are respectively close to the four right angles of the movable platform 1. Similarly, four casters 3 are also provided.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 The upper surface of the mobile station 1 is also equipped with a start button 4, a touch screen 5, and a grating 6.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 The upper surface of the moving table 1 is also provided with a mounting frame 8, and the mounting frame 8 is provided with a separation component for separating the workpiece from the fixture.

[0045] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The separation component includes a support base 20 horizontally mounted on the mounting frame 8. A pin 21 is provided on the upper surface of the support base 20, and multiple pins 21 are provided along the length of the support base 20. Additionally, a pin hole b is provided on the horizontal plate a of the clamp, which can be fitted onto the outside of the pin 21. Multiple pin holes b are provided. In a preferred embodiment, the pin 21 includes a lower cylindrical section and an upper frustum section, with the outer diameter of the upper frustum section decreasing from bottom to top. Its technical advantage is that when the horizontal plate a of the clamp is placed on the upper surface of the support base 20, the pin hole b needs to be fitted onto the outside of the pin 21. The upper frustum section provides a guiding function, making the process of fitting the pin hole b onto the pin 21 more stable and smooth.

[0046] The separation assembly also includes a support unit, which includes a first support block 22 and a second support block 23 arranged side by side. When the horizontal plate a of the clamp is placed on the upper surface of the support base 20, the support unit is located between the two clamping arms c of the clamping arm unit of the clamp. Multiple support units are provided accordingly.

[0047] All the expansion blocks 1 22 are connected by main rod 1, and all the expansion blocks 23 are connected by main rod 24.

[0048] The separation assembly also includes a drive component for driving the first main rod and the second main rod 24 to move closer to or further away from each other. Further, the drive component includes a lead screw 18 and a motor 17 that is poweredly connected to the lead screw 18. The lead screw 18 is divided into two threaded sections with opposite helical directions along the axis. Each threaded section is provided with a nut 19, which is also slidably connected to the mounting bracket 8. The two nuts 19 are respectively connected to the first main rod and the second main rod 24.

[0049] Therefore, when the motor 17 drives the lead screw 18 to rotate, the two lead nuts 19 move closer or further apart, thereby driving the main rod 1 and main rod 24 to move closer or further apart. When they move further apart, the two clamping arms c of the clamping arm unit can be opened, releasing the connection with the workpiece, and the workpiece can fall into the storage basket 7 below. When they move closer together, they reset, and finally, the fixture is removed.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, in order to make the separation between the workpiece and the fixture smoother and more efficient, the workpiece and the horizontal plate a of the fixture should remain stationary during separation. Therefore, the separation assembly also includes a clamping component.

[0051] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The clamping component includes a vertical support 12 and a traction member for moving the vertical support 12 within a planar coordinate system, wherein the X-axis of the planar coordinate system is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the length direction of the support 20, and the Y-axis is arranged vertically.

[0052] Furthermore, the traction component includes a horizontal support 10 slidably mounted on the mounting frame 8 along the X-axis direction and a linear module 9 for driving the horizontal support 10 to move. The vertical support 12 is slidably mounted on the horizontal support 10 along the Y-axis direction. The horizontal support 10 is provided with a linear module 11 for driving the vertical support 12 to move. The linear module can adopt existing electric telescopic rod technology or existing lead screw linear movement technology, etc., which will not be elaborated further.

[0053] Furthermore, the vertical support 12 is provided with clamping members and pressure plates 13. Multiple clamping members are arranged in an array along the length direction of the support base 20, and their number is consistent with the number of workpieces on the fixture. When the workpiece is located in the clamping area of ​​the clamping member, the pressure plates 13 press down on the horizontal plate a of the fixture from top to bottom.

[0054] The clamping component includes a pneumatic gripper 14. Each of the two grippers of the pneumatic gripper 14 has a soft clamping rod 15 on its opposite side. The soft clamping rod 15 is made of a soft material, such as silicone rubber. The area between the two soft clamping rods 15 is the clamping area.

[0055] Preferably, an air nozzle 16 is also provided above the clamping area. All air nozzles 16 are connected by a main air pipe (not shown in the figure). The main air pipe is connected to an air pump. Its technical advantage is that when the pneumatic gripper 14 drives the soft clamping rod 15 to release the workpiece, the workpiece and the soft clamping rod 15 may slightly stick together, causing it to fail to fall normally. Although this is rare, it is indeed possible. The air nozzle 16 can spray air downwards, making the workpiece fall more smoothly and steadily, thus solving this problem.

[0056] The working principle of this utility model:

[0057] Place the horizontal plate a of the clamp on the upper surface of the support 20, and fit the pin hole b on the outside of the pin 21. At this time, the spreading unit is located between the two clamping arms c of the clamping arm unit of the clamp.

[0058] Then, through the cooperation of linear module 19 and linear module 21, the vertical support 12 is driven to move in the plane coordinate system, so that the workpiece is located in the clamping area of ​​the clamping member, and the pressure plate 13 presses the horizontal plate a of the fixture from top to bottom, and the workpiece is clamped by the clamping member.

[0059] Then, the two opening blocks of the opening unit are driven away from each other by the driving component, so that the two clamping arms c of the clamping arm unit undergo elastic deformation that moves away from each other, and the workpiece and the fixture are separated.

[0060] Then, the drive component resets, the elastic deformation of the clamping arm unit recovers, and at the same time, the clamping component releases its grip on the workpiece, and the workpiece falls into the storage basket 7. Through the cooperation of linear module 1 9 and linear module 2 11, the clamping component is reset.

[0061] Finally, remove the clamp from the support 20;

[0062] By repeating the above process, semi-automatic separation of the workpiece and the fixture can be achieved.

[0063] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific embodiments have been used to explain the principles and implementation methods of this application. The above description is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core mechanism of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in specific embodiments and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
