Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model provides an automatic material changing device for automated production, belonging to the field of automated production technology. Background Technology

[0002] For convenient material loading in automated production, loading robots are typically used. These robots are installed next to the automated production equipment and generally consist of a robotic arm and a vacuum suction cup at the front end of the robotic arm. During loading, the operator moves the material to be replaced to a suitable position next to the loading robot. Then, by coordinating the movement of the robotic arm, the vacuum suction cup is adjusted to be on top of the material to be replaced. The vacuum suction cup is then activated to pick up the material. The robotic arm then moves the vacuum suction cup holding the material to the top of the processing table of the automated production equipment. The vacuum suction cup is then activated to release the material. Finally, the robotic arm moves away from the top of the processing table and returns to its initial position, thus enabling convenient and automatic replacement of new materials to be processed.

[0003] Based on the above research and existing technology findings, while material loading robots can generally move materials from one location to automated production equipment, manual placement of the materials to be processed in the appropriate positions is still required each time materials are changed. This results in frequent back-and-forth movement of workers, which is not time-saving or labor-saving, and work efficiency needs to be improved. Therefore, this utility model provides an automatic material changing device for automated production. Utility Model Content

[0006] Furthermore, the transfer unit includes a pneumatic push rod fixedly installed on the top of the lifting groove. The telescopic rod end of the pneumatic push rod is fixedly connected to a drive box. The drive box contains a motor. The output end of the motor extends out of the top of the drive box and is fixedly connected to a plate. The bottom of the plate is provided with a support rod, and the bottom of the support rod is provided with a vacuum suction cup.

[0007] Furthermore, the block is fixedly installed on the top of the base, the height of the lifting groove is the same as the height of the baffle, and the central axis of the support rod in the initial position is collinear with the central axis of the feeding platform.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving unit includes a second motor fixedly mounted on the top wall of the lifting groove. The output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to a screw threadedly connected to the slider, and the other end of the screw is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the lifting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower side wall of the baffle is provided with a through hole for the threaded rod to pass through, and the top of the feeding platform is provided with an opening for the baffle to pass through.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the base is provided with a limiting rail that matches the bottom of the baffle.

It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0022] According to the appendix Figure 1 , 5As shown: This utility model provides an automatic material changing device for automated production: it includes a base 1, a lifting groove 2 at one end of the top of the base 1, a transfer part 7 for transferring and adsorbing materials at the top of the lifting groove 2, and a pneumatic push rod 12 fixedly mounted on the top of the lifting groove 2. The telescopic end of the pneumatic push rod 12 is fixedly connected to a drive box 13, a motor 14 is installed inside the drive box 13, the output end of the motor 14 extends out of the top of the drive box 13 and is fixedly connected to a straight plate 15, a support rod 16 is provided at the other end of the bottom of the straight plate 15, and a vacuum suction cup 17 is provided at the bottom of the support rod 16. In the initial position, the central axis of the support rod 16 is collinear with the central axis of the feeding platform 5 to ensure that the vacuum suction cup 17 can adsorb the topmost material. The air source is an air compressor equipped with an air tank. The pneumatic push rod 12 adopts existing technology and is connected to the air tank through a solenoid valve. The vacuum suction cup 17 is connected to the air tank through a vacuum generator and a solenoid valve. The valve is connected to the air supply source. The vacuum suction cup 17, vacuum generator, and solenoid valve all adopt existing technologies. The solenoid valve is used to control the supply and release of air to the vacuum suction cup 17 and pneumatic push rod 12. Specifically, the pneumatic push rod 12 is started to drive the drive box 13, support rod 16, and vacuum suction cup 17 to rise and fall. The vacuum suction cup 17 is started to pick up the material at the top. Then, the pneumatic push rod 12 is started to raise the vacuum suction cup 17 with the picked-up material above the baffle 10. The motor 14 is started to drive the plate 15 to rotate, which in turn moves the vacuum suction cup 17 with the picked-up material to the processing table of the automated production equipment (the position of the device next to the automated production equipment can be adjusted manually to ensure that the vacuum suction cup 17 with the picked-up material is placed above the processing table). The vacuum suction cup 17 is started to release the picked-up material, and the released material falls onto the processing table of the automated production equipment, which can realize the automatic feeding of materials.

[0023] As per the instruction manual Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 4: A slider 3 is slidably connected inside the lifting groove 2. A feeding platform 5 is provided on one side wall of the slider 3, which is placed above the base 1. A limiting part 6 for limiting the material is provided on the top of the base 1. The limiting part 6 includes a block 8 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. Threaded rods 9 are provided on all four side walls of the block 8. Baffles 10 that pass through the threaded rods 9 and the feeding platform 5 are slidably connected to the four sides of the top of the base 1. A limiting rail 21 that matches the bottom of the baffle 10 is provided on the top of the base 1 to limit the baffle 10. The height of the lifting groove 2 is the same as the height of the baffle 10 to avoid interfering with the material transfer. A threaded rod passes through the lower side wall of the baffle 10. The feed platform 5 has a through hole 9 and a through opening 20 at the top of the feed platform 5 that passes through the baffle 10 to prevent interference with the lifting and lowering of the feed platform 5. The threaded rod 9 is threaded with wing nuts 11 placed on both sides of the baffle 10. Specifically, the wing nuts 11 are screwed on to adjust their position on the threaded rod 9 so that the baffle 10 can move. The baffles 10 on all four sides are adjusted to the appropriate position according to the size of the material to be processed. Then the wing nuts 11 are screwed on until they fit against the side wall of the baffle 10, thereby locking the position of the baffle 10. The material to be processed can then be stacked from bottom to top on the top of the feed platform 5 and limited between the baffles 10 according to the size of the material to be processed.

[0024] As per the instruction manual Figure 3 As shown: The lifting groove 2 is provided with a driving part 4 for driving the slider 3 to rise and fall. The driving part 4 includes a motor 18 fixedly installed on the top wall of the lifting groove 2. The output end of the motor 18 is fixedly connected to a screw 19 threadedly connected to the slider 3. The other end of the screw 19 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the lifting groove 2. Specifically, starting the motor 18 drives the screw 19 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 3 to rise and fall.

[0025] The control method of this utility model is through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0026] The principle of this utility model

[0027] In use, by tightening the wing nut 11 through the limiting part 6, the baffles 10 on all four sides can be adjusted to the appropriate position according to the size of the material to be processed. This is suitable for materials of different sizes to be stacked from bottom to top and placed on the top of the feeding platform 5 and limited between the baffles 10, effectively preventing the stacked materials from collapsing. Through the drive part, the second motor 18 drives the slider 3 to rise and fall, thereby driving the feeding platform 5 and the stacked materials to rise and fall. Through the transfer part 7, the pneumatic push rod 12 drives the vacuum suction cup 17 to rise and fall. The vacuum suction cup 17 can pick up the material at the top. The first motor 14 can drive the vacuum suction cup 17 with the picked-up material to move to the processing table of the automated production equipment. The vacuum suction cup 17 releases the picked-up material, and the released material falls onto the processing table of the automated production equipment. This can realize the automatic feeding of materials. Each time the material is changed, there is no need for the staff to walk back and forth to carry the new material to be processed, which saves more time and effort and improves work efficiency.
