Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coupling processing technology, specifically to a coupling collection device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, couplings are key components in mechanical transmission systems. The collection process during their manufacturing plays a crucial role in product quality and production efficiency. Currently, most companies still use the traditional manual collection method for couplings. This involves using a conveyor to transport the couplings, with workers standing on both sides of the conveyor to transfer the passing couplings to a tray, thus completing the collection process.

[0003] However, this traditional manual collection method has many drawbacks. First, manual operation requires a large amount of manpower, which significantly increases the company's labor costs. In the current context of rising labor costs, this undoubtedly places a heavy economic burden on enterprises. Second, manual labor is prone to fatigue due to repetitive collection work over long periods of time, leading to decreased work efficiency and affecting production progress. More importantly, manual operation under fatigue makes it difficult to maintain a high level of attention and accuracy, which may result in some couplings being missed and transported to other places, affecting the normal operation of subsequent production processes. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a coupling collection device, comprising a conveyor table and a feeding assembly installed on an operating table, and a positioning and actuating assembly installed below the conveyor table. A tray is placed on the conveyor table, and first linear modules are installed on both sides of the conveyor table. Movable gripper devices are installed between the moving ends of the two first linear modules and at the tail end of the conveyor table on the operating table.

[0005] The feeding assembly includes an upper plate, on which a push clamping part is installed. Multiple relatively distributed clamping blocks are installed at the clamping ends of the push clamping part. The upper plate is also fixed with a first frame and a first plate at the first end, a pre-placement tray in the middle, and a tail frame at the tail end. A third linear module is installed on the first frame. A placement tray is fixed on the top of the first plate. Placement trays are installed on the side of the pre-placement tray, the moving end of the third linear module, and the tail frame. There are three sets of placement trays on the tail frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the positioning and actuation assembly includes three sets of positioning plates and a second linear module. One of the positioning plates slides with the operating table and is fixed to the moving end of the second linear module. Each positioning plate is equipped with an upper lifting cylinder and an ejection cylinder. The piston rod of the upper lifting cylinder is fixed with an upper lifting plate. Two sets of positioning pins that can be inserted into the bottom of the tray are fixed on the upper lifting plate. An L-shaped plate is fixed on the piston rod of the ejection cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, the push-clamping part includes a base plate fixed to the bottom of the upper plate, a push end is installed on the base plate, a push end is installed on the push end, and a clamping end for driving the opposing clamping blocks is installed on the top of the push end.

[0008] Furthermore, the pushing end includes a pushing cylinder mounted on the base plate, and two sets of guide plates distributed on both sides of the pushing cylinder are fixed to the top of the base plate. A pushing plate fixed to the piston rod of the pushing cylinder is slidably connected between the guide plates. The pushing end is mounted on the pushing plate and located between the two sets of guide plates.

[0009] Furthermore, the push end includes an upward push cylinder mounted on the push plate and located between the guide plates, with multiple sets of guide pillars fixed on its top, and an upward push plate that can be moved to the top of the upper plate passing through the guide pillars, and the clamping end is mounted on the upward push plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping end includes a clamping cylinder mounted on the upper push plate. The clamping end of the clamping cylinder is fixed with a clamping plate located below the pre-placement tray. The top of the clamping plate is fixed with columns located on both sides of the pre-placement tray. A profile column is fixed between the tops of the two columns on the left side, and a clamping plate is fixed between the tops of the two columns on the right side. Multiple clamping blocks are respectively installed on the clamping plate and the profile column. One side of the clamping block is arc-shaped.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper limit of the plate is provided with multiple sleeve posts, and each pair of sleeve posts is fixed with a corresponding clamping block. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve posts.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The coupling's collection device uses a positioning and actuating component to precisely position and move the pallet, ensuring its accurate placement on the conveyor table. The feeding component's push-clamping part, through the clamping action of the clamping blocks, can stably hold the coupling and accurately transfer it to the placement pallet, pre-placement pallet, and receiving pallet. The cooperation between the first linear module and the movable gripper device enables the loading and collection of the coupling, placing it in the pallet. This replaces traditional manual operation, significantly reducing labor costs, improving collection efficiency, and avoiding missed inspections caused by human fatigue, thus ensuring production stability and product quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 The coupling collection device in this embodiment includes a conveyor 1 installed on the operating table, a feeding assembly 5 located on the left side of the conveyor 1, a positioning and actuating assembly 4 installed below the conveyor 1, a double belt conveyor tray of the conveyor 1, first linear modules 2 installed on both the left and right sides of the conveyor 1, a movable gripper device 3 installed between the moving ends of the two first linear modules 2, and a movable gripper device 3 located at the tail end of the conveyor 1 is also installed on the operating table.

[0022] In the above structure, the conveyor table can transport the pallet, and the positioning and actuating component can transport and limit the pallet. When the movable gripper device loads the couplings onto the pallet, the positioning and actuating component can push the pallet back. When the pallet is full, its position can be adjusted. At the same time, another movable gripper device loads the couplings into the feeding component. The feeding component moves forward one by one until it is placed at the end. Therefore, the movable gripper device driven by the first linear module completes the material handling operation of the couplings in the feeding component. The combination of the above can realize automated operation, improve collection efficiency, and reduce labor costs.

[0023] like Figure 3-5 The feeding assembly 5 includes an upper plate 51 fixed to the operating table. A first frame 519, a first plate 518, a pre-placement tray 516, and a tail frame 517, all aligned on a single axis, are fixed on the surface of the upper plate 51. A third linear module 520 is mounted on the top of the first frame 519. Placement trays 521 are fixed to the moving end of the third linear module 520, the back of the pre-placement tray 516, and the top of the tail frame 517. There are three placement trays 521 on the tail frame 517, all aligned on a single axis. A placement tray 522 is fixed to the top of the first plate 51. A base plate 52 is fixed to the bottom of the upper plate 51. Two sets of guide plates are fixed to the top of the base plate 52, and a pusher cylinder 53 is installed between the two guide plates. A pusher plate 54, fixed to the piston rod of the pusher cylinder 53, is slidably connected between the tops of the two guide plates. The top of the pusher plate 54 is fixed... There are four sets of guide posts 55, and an upward push cylinder 56 extending between two guide plates is installed at the center. The piston rod of the upward push cylinder 56 is fixed with an upward push plate 57 that passes through the guide post 5. The upward push plate 57 can extend to the upper plate 51. A clamping cylinder 58 is installed on the top of the upward push plate 57. The clamping end of the clamping cylinder 58 is fixed with a clamping plate 59 located below the pre-placement tray 516. The top of the clamping plate 59 is fixed with columns 510 located on the front and rear sides of the pre-placement tray 516. A profile column 511 is fixed between the top columns of the two columns 510 on the left. A pair plate 512 is installed between the tops of the two columns 510 on the right. Five oppositely distributed clamping blocks 515 are fixed on the side of the pair plate 512 opposite to the profile column 511. The placement tray 522 is located between the pair plate 512 and the profile column 511. The side of the clamping block 515 opposite to the pair plate 512 is arc-shaped.

[0024] When the aforementioned movable gripper device moves the product to the receiving tray on the third linear module, the third linear module moves the product to a suitable gripping position. The clamping cylinder drives the profile column and the clamping plate to clamp the product through the clamping plate, so that the clamping block clamps the product. Then, the push cylinder runs, driving the push plate to move up, thereby moving the clamping block up and separating the product from the receiving tray. Then, the push cylinder pushes the push plate. The push cylinder is located on the push plate and moves accordingly, thereby moving the clamping block a specified distance to the placement tray. After the push cylinder and the clamping cylinder reset, the transfer is completed. Then, the above movement is repeated so that the product can be automatically fed from the first receiving tray to the placement tray, the middle receiving tray, the pre-placement tray, and the tail end three sets of receiving trays.

[0025] The upper limit of the plate 512 is provided with five pairs of sleeve posts 513. Each pair of sleeve posts 513 is fixed to a corresponding clamping block 515, and a spring 514 is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve post 513. When each pair of clamping blocks clamps the product, pushing the sleeve post to compress the spring plays a buffering role, avoiding increased clamping force that could damage the product.

[0026] like Figure 2 The positioning and actuating assembly 4 includes three sets of positioning plates 41 installed on the operating table and located below the conveyor table 1. The three sets of positioning plates 41 are spaced a certain distance apart, and a second linear module 47 is installed thereon. The rightmost positioning plate 41 is slidably connected to the operating table and fixed to the moving end of the second linear module 47. Each positioning plate 41 is respectively equipped with an upper lifting cylinder 42 and an ejection cylinder 45. The piston rod of the upper lifting cylinder 42 is fixed to an upper lifting plate 43. The top of the upper lifting plate 43 is fixed with two sets of positioning posts 44 that can extend to the bottom of the tray. The piston rod of the ejection cylinder 45 is fixed to an L-shaped plate 46.

[0027] When the conveyor conveyor transports pallets, the ejector cylinder drives the L-shaped plate to lift, forming three sets of limit stops, which keep the three sets of pallets in three zones: the waiting zone, the pre-waiting zone, and the filling zone. At the same time, the upper ejector cylinder drives the upper plate to lift, and the positioning pin extends to the bottom of the pallet to limit the pallet and prevent it from shifting. When the pallets in the filling zone have completed filling one row, the second linear module operates to move the pallet back by using the positioning pin limit and the L-shaped block, so that the pallet filling port corresponds to the movable gripper device, thereby improving the flexibility of filling.

[0028] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0029] The conveyor table transports pallets via double belts. The ejector cylinder in the positioning and actuating assembly lifts the L-shaped plate, forming three sets of limit stops that divide the pallet into a waiting area, a pre-waiting area, and a filling area. Simultaneously, the upper ejector cylinder drives the upper plate upwards, and the positioning pins extend to the bottom of the pallet for limiting movement, preventing the pallet from shifting during transport and ensuring precise positioning. A movable gripper device on the operating table grabs the coupling and moves it to the receiving tray at the moving end of the third linear module on the top of the first frame in the feeding assembly. The third linear module then moves the coupling to the appropriate gripping position. The clamping cylinder of the feeding assembly drives the profile column and the clamping plate to clamp the coupling. The sleeve and spring on the clamping plate provide cushioning during clamping, preventing excessive clamping force from damaging the coupling. The device then moves upwards, driven by an upward-pushing cylinder, causing the upward-pushing plate to rise and detach the coupling from the support tray. A pushing cylinder then pushes the pushing plate, moving the upward-pushing cylinder and clamping block to place the coupling onto the placement tray. This process is repeated, allowing the coupling to pass sequentially through three sets of support trays: the first support tray, the placement tray, the middle support tray, the pre-placement tray, and the tail tray, completing the automatic feeding. The first linear module, located on both sides of the conveyor table, drives a mobile gripper device to move, grabbing the coupling from the support tray at the tail end of the feeding assembly and loading it onto the pallets in the filling area of ​​the conveyor table. When one row of pallets in the filling area is filled, the second linear module operates, using positioning pins and an L-shaped plate to retract the pallet, aligning the pallet filling opening with the mobile gripper device again, allowing for the continued filling of the next row and improving filling flexibility and efficiency.

[0030] The above steps are repeated continuously to achieve fully automated operation of the coupling from feeding, transferring and loading, continuously and efficiently completing the collection task of the coupling, while reducing labor costs.

[0031] The entire workflow is now complete, and anything not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
