Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding devices, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for robots. Background Technology

[0002] A feeding device is a piece of equipment used to transport raw materials or semi-finished products required for the production of automotive interiors to a designated processing position. For example, a clamping feeding device includes a sheet preheating device and a mounting frame. The mounting frame has guide rails. The clamping device includes two symmetrical clamping assemblies. The sliding frame of the clamping assembly slides with the guide rails. A lifting plate is raised and lowered on the sliding frame. A first clamping member is provided on the plate, and a second clamping member is fixedly connected to the sliding frame below it. The first clamping member has multiple negative pressure holes, which can pick up the fabric and attach it to the upper surface of the sheet, realizing the feeding of the fabric and the sheet.

[0003] Currently, most raw material loading relies on manual labor combined with machinery. Since manual loading is relatively slow and easily affected by factors such as worker fatigue and work rhythm, production efficiency is affected. Furthermore, the production of automotive interior products requires high precision in loading, and manual loading makes it difficult to ensure that the position and posture of each loading are completely consistent, which may affect product quality.

[0004] Therefore, since most of the existing raw material feeding relies on manual labor combined with machinery, manual labor is affected by various factors, which leads to reduced production efficiency. Furthermore, manual feeding makes it difficult to guarantee the feeding position, which affects product quality. Therefore, an automatic robotic feeding device can be designed to use robots for feeding, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the problems in the current production of automotive interior materials, which rely on manual labor in conjunction with machinery for raw material loading, resulting in low production efficiency due to factors such as human fatigue and work rhythm, and insufficient precision of manual loading, it is difficult to ensure the consistency of loading position and posture, thus affecting product quality.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an automatic feeding device for robots, including a press, a heating table, a placement table, a column, and a base plate; the presses are arranged symmetrically in the horizontal direction, a heating table for heating raw materials is provided between two sets of presses, and placement tables for placing raw materials are symmetrically provided on both sides of the heating table. A column is provided at the corner connection between the heating table and the press, and a base plate is provided on the side of the column away from the heating table. A rotating ring is installed at the upper end of the column, and a rotating column is fitted inside the rotating ring. A first U-shaped frame is installed at the upper end of the rotating column, and a first rotating shaft is transversely passed through the middle of the first U-shaped frame. A support column is provided above the first U-shaped frame, and the support column is rotatably connected to the first U-shaped frame through the first rotating shaft. A second rotating shaft is transversely passed through the end of the support column away from the first U-shaped frame. A guide column is provided at the end of the support column away from the first U-shaped frame, and the guide column is rotatably connected to the support column through the second rotating shaft. A third rotating shaft is transversely passed through the end of the guide column away from the support column. A connecting block is provided at the end of the guide column away from the support column, and the connecting block is rotatably connected to the guide column through the third rotating shaft. A suction cup is installed on the side of the connecting block away from the guide column.

[0007] Furthermore, the press is equipped with a mold material frame needle.

[0008] Furthermore, an operation panel is installed on one side of the heating platform.

[0009] Furthermore, a rotating motor is installed on one side of the rotating column, and a first motor is installed at one end of the first rotating shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, a second motor is installed at one end of the second shaft, and a third motor is installed at one end of the third shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, pulleys are installed at the lower corners of the base plate, a drive motor is installed on one side of each pulley, a rectangular telescopic sleeve is installed in the middle of the upper part of the base plate, a rectangular telescopic column is fitted inside the rectangular telescopic sleeve, a cylinder is installed at the upper end of the rectangular telescopic column, and a rectangular slide rail is installed on one side of the upper end of the rectangular telescopic column.

[0012] Furthermore, a rectangular groove is provided below the rectangular slide rail, and a threaded rod is transversely inserted through the inner side of the rectangular groove. A fourth motor is installed at one end of the threaded rod, and a rectangular threaded sleeve is fitted over the threaded rod. Two sets of second U-shaped frames are longitudinally installed at the lower end of the rectangular threaded sleeve. A fourth rotating shaft is transversely inserted through the middle of the second U-shaped frame, and a fifth motor is installed at one end of the fourth rotating shaft. A material picking frame is provided below the second U-shaped frame, and the material picking frame is rotatably connected to the second U-shaped frame through the fourth rotating shaft.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The orderly collaboration between various mechanisms, including the automatic feeding mechanism, the six-axis robot, and the press, reduces the time intervals and uncertainties of manual operation. This enables rapid connection between material heating, handling, and forming processes, allowing for the processing of more products per unit time. For example, while the six-axis robot transfers heated material to the forming press, the feeding mechanism can simultaneously prepare for heating the next piece of material, significantly shortening the overall production cycle. Furthermore, the automated operation ensures the precision and consistency of material processing in each process. The heating table's pressing and heating of the material can be precisely executed according to preset parameters. The precise material handling and transfer actions of the six-axis robot, along with the pressing and forming under specific conditions, reduce product quality fluctuations caused by human factors such as operating force and positional deviations, facilitating the production of products with uniform quality standards. In addition, a safety zone identification mechanism is set up between the press and the six-axis robot. The press can only perform pressing and forming operations after the six-axis robot has retreated to the safety zone, effectively avoiding the risk of collision between the robot and the press during operation, ensuring equipment safety and the safety of operators around the equipment, and reducing the possibility of workplace accidents.

A rotating ring 401 is installed at the upper end of the column 4. A rotating column 402 is fitted inside the rotating ring 401. A first U-shaped frame 404 is installed at the upper end of the rotating column 402. A first rotating shaft 405 is transversely inserted through the middle of the first U-shaped frame 404. A support is provided above the first U-shaped frame 404. The support column 407 is rotatably connected to the first U-shaped frame 404 via the first rotating shaft 405. The end of the support column 407 away from the first U-shaped frame 404 is laterally connected to the second rotating shaft 408. The end of the support column 407 away from the first U-shaped frame 404 is provided with a guide column 410. The guide column 410 is rotatably connected to the support column 407 via the second rotating shaft 408.

[0023] The press 1 is equipped with a mold material frame needle 101.

[0024] An operation panel 201 is installed on one side of the heating platform 2. The heating platform 2 can be initialized by operating the operation panel 201.

[0025] A rotating motor 403 is installed on one side of the rotating column 402, and a first motor 406 is installed at one end of the first rotating shaft 405. Driven by the first motor 406, the support column 407 rotates to a suitable angle through the first rotating shaft 405 and the first U-shaped frame 404.

[0026] A second motor 409 is installed at one end of the second rotating shaft 408, and a third motor 412 is installed at one end of the third rotating shaft 411. Driven by the second motor 409, the guide column 410 rotates to a suitable angle via the second rotating shaft 408 and the support column 407. Driven by the third motor 412, the connecting block 413 drives the suction cup 414 to rotate to a suitable angle via the third rotating shaft 411 and the guide column 410.

[0027] First, the heating platform 2 is initialized using the control panel 201, setting parameters such as heating temperature, heating time, and pressing pressure. Communication with the entire control system is then established and debugged to ensure the heating platform 2 responds quickly and starts working after the material is placed in position. Once ready, the operator places the material on the placement platform 3 according to the prescribed method. Based on the material's location, the rotating column 402 rotates along the rotating ring 401 to a suitable position, driven by the rotating motor 403. Then, driven by the first motor 406, the support column 407 rotates to a suitable angle via the first rotating shaft 405 and the first U-shaped frame 404. Next, driven by the second motor 409, the guide column 410 rotates to a suitable angle via the second rotating shaft 408 and the support column 407. Finally, driven by the third motor 412, the connecting block 413 drives the suction cup 414 to rotate to a suitable angle via the third rotating shaft 411 and the guide column 410. Through continuous rotation and adjustment, the suction cup 414 grips the material and places it stably onto the heating platform 2 for heating.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figures 4-5 As shown, pulleys 501 are installed at the lower corners of the base plate 5, and a drive motor is installed on one side of the pulleys 501. A rectangular telescopic sleeve 502 is installed in the middle of the upper part of the base plate 5. A rectangular telescopic column 503 is fitted inside the rectangular telescopic sleeve 502. A cylinder 504 is installed on the upper end of the rectangular telescopic column 503, and a rectangular slide rail 505 is installed on one side of the upper end of the rectangular telescopic column 503.

A fourth rotating shaft 511 is horizontally inserted through the middle of the second U-shaped frame 510. A fifth motor 512 is installed at one end of the fourth rotating shaft 511. A material picking frame 513 is provided below the second U-shaped frame 510. The material picking frame 513 is rotatably connected to the second U-shaped frame 510 through the fourth rotating shaft 511.

[0031] After heating is complete, driven by the drive motor, the pulley 501 moves the base plate 5 to the heating table 2 along a predetermined trajectory. Then, according to the position of the material placed on the heating table 2, driven by the fourth motor 508, the threaded rod 507 rotates, causing the rectangular threaded sleeve 509 to move the material-picking frame 513 laterally along the rectangular slide 506 to above the material. Then, driven by the cylinder 504, the rectangular telescopic column 503 moves the rectangular slide rail 505 along the rectangular telescopic sleeve 502 to a suitable height. At the same time, driven by the fifth motor 512, the material-picking frame 513 is rotatably connected to the second U-shaped frame 510 through the fourth rotating shaft 511, and the material is picked up with the height adjustment. Finally, the material is moved to the press 1 along a predetermined trajectory, and the material is accurately hung on the mold material frame needle 101. Then, it is quickly withdrawn from the working area of ​​the press 1 and returned to the preset safe position. The above operation can then be repeated.
