[0030] Automated equipment uses material handling components or mechanisms to feed materials to the material processing parts on the equipment during the material processing process.

[0031] For processing small materials, the usual method is to first place a large number of small materials into a vibratory feeder, then use the vibratory feeder to disperse the small materials, and finally use a material handling component or mechanism to transport the small materials one by one to the material processing unit for processing. However, this method is inefficient in transporting small materials one by one.

[0032] To address the aforementioned issues, this patent provides a material handling component designed to improve material handling efficiency.

[0033] For ease of understanding, the specific implementation methods of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3A material handling assembly includes two handling components 100, a motor 200, a belt pulley 300, and a belt 300. The motor 200 drives the belt pulley 300 to reciprocate. The reciprocating rotation of the belt pulley refers to the alternating clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the belt pulley. Each handling component 100 includes a handling head 110, which can be implemented in various ways, such as a gripper-type handling head 110, a suction cup-type handling head 110, a hook-type handling head 110, or an electromagnetic handling head 110. Both material handling heads 110 are fixed to the belt 300 and located on both sides of the belt 300 pulley, so that when the belt 300 pulley rotates, one material handling head 110 rises and the other material handling head 110 falls. In this way, after one material handling head 110 falls and completes the material handling operation, the belt 300 pulley rotates in the opposite direction, and the material handling head 110 that has completed the material handling operation rises, while the other material handling head 110 that has not completed the material handling operation falls. In this way, a set of material handling components can complete two material handling operations, improving the material handling efficiency.

[0035] It should be noted that for processing small materials, a vibratory feeder is used to disperse them. However, this method results in inconsistent material orientation. If the materials are placed directly on the processing component, their orientation needs to be corrected, which is detrimental to the processing of the component. Therefore, this embodiment provides the following implementation method.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 The material handling unit 100 includes a rotary motor 200, which drives the material handling head 110 to rotate. After picking up the material, the material handling head 110 can rotate the material, making the material face a preset direction, which is convenient for subsequent processing of the parts.

[0037] It should be noted that the belt 300 needs to be mounted on two pulleys for the belt 300 to rotate. Therefore, this embodiment provides the following implementation method.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 The material handling assembly also includes a fixed plate 400, on which a pulley 500 is mounted, and a belt 300 is fitted onto the pulley 500. Thus, the belt 300 is simultaneously fitted onto both the pulley 300 and the pulley 500, enabling it to reciprocate under the drive of the pulley 300. In this implementation, the pulley 500 can be driven independently of the motor 200, or it can be driven by the same motor 200 as the pulley 300, ensuring that the rotation direction and speed of the pulley 500 and the pulley 300 are the same.

[0039] It should be noted that the material picker head 110 is fixed to the belt 300. When it is raised and lowered by the belt 300, it is prone to shaking, which will cause the material picker head 110 to deviate in position and fail to descend accurately to the material. To solve the above problem, this embodiment provides the following implementation method.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 A slide rail 600 is provided on the fixed plate 400, and a slider 700 is provided on the slide rail 600. The picking component 100 is fixed relative to the slider 700. As a result, the picking component 100 slides up and down along the slide rail 600 under the drive of the belt 300 without any positional deviation.

[0041] It should be noted that in the implementation where the material-picking component 100 is fixed relative to the slider 700, if both the slider 700 and the belt 300 are located on one side of the fixed plate 400, the layout on that side of the fixed plate 400 becomes too compact, and the material may rub against the belt 300 during material picking. To avoid the above situation, this embodiment provides the following implementation.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The slider 700 and belt 300 are located on opposite sides of the fixed plate 400. The fixed plate 400 has an elongated through-hole 410, and the slider 700 has an extension 710 that passes through the through-hole 410 and is fixed to the belt 300. This arrangement of the slider 700 and belt 300 on opposite sides of the fixed plate 400 makes the layout on the fixed plate 400 more rational. Furthermore, to allow the belt 300 to move the slider 700, the slider 700 has an extension 710 that passes through the elongated through-hole 410 of the fixed plate 400 and is fixed to the belt 300. The elongated through-hole allows the extension 710 to move up and down with the belt 300, so that when the belt 300 rotates, the slider 700 moves along the slide rail 600.

[0043] It should be noted that there are multiple ways to fix the extension 710 to the belt 300. This embodiment provides the following implementation method.

[0044] Please see Figure 4 A fixing block 800 is provided at the fixing point between the extension 710 and the belt 300, and the extension 710 and the fixing block 800 clamp the belt 300. The fixing method of the extension 710 and the fixing block 800 clamping the belt 300 can ensure that the extension 710 is fixed relative to the belt 300, so that the belt 300 can drive the slider 700 to move.

[0045] It should be noted that in the fixing method where the extension 710 and the fixing block 800 clamp the belt 300, in order to prevent the belt 300 from passing through the gap between the extension 710 and the fixing block 800, this embodiment provides an implementation method.

[0046] Please see Figure 4 The extension 710 and / or the fixing block 800 are provided with limiting claws 900 at their ends. The limiting claws 900 extend into the gap between the extension 710 and the fixing block 800, thereby limiting the belt 300 between the extension 710 and the fixing block 800.

[0047] It should be noted that, in order to reduce the overall size of the material handling component, this embodiment provides the following implementation method.

[0048] Please see Figure 2 A recessed groove 420 is provided on the fixed plate 400, and a slide rail 600 is disposed within the recessed groove 420; a through hole 410 is formed within the recessed groove 420. In this implementation, the slide rail 600 is disposed within the recessed groove 420, and the slider 700 is disposed on the slide rail 600, so that the slide rail 600 and the slider 700 located on one side of the fixed plate 400 are closer to the other side of the fixed plate 400, the extension 710 extending towards the belt 300 is shortened, the material handling assembly is more compact, and the overall volume is reduced.

[0049] In summary, the material handling assembly provided in this application includes two handling components 100, a motor 200, a belt pulley 300, and a belt 300. The motor 200 drives the belt pulley 300 to reciprocate. Each handling component 100 includes a handling head 110, with both handling heads 110 fixed to the belt 300 and located on opposite sides of the belt pulley. This allows one handling head 110 to rise and the other to descend as the belt pulley rotates. This improves the efficiency of material handling.

[0050] This utility model also provides a material handling mechanism; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 It includes the aforementioned material picking component, and the fixing plate 400 of the material picking component is fixed to the fixing frame 1000 of the material picking mechanism, so that the entire material picking component can move with the movement of the fixing frame 1000.

[0051] To further increase material handling efficiency, multiple material handling components can be installed on the fixed frame 1000. These components can be arranged side by side, allowing for an orderly arrangement on the fixed frame 1000. In the implementation where the fixed plate 400 has a settling trough 420 for the material handling components, the overall volume of the material handling components is reduced. Therefore, more rows of material handling components can be installed on the fixed frame 1000 to improve the efficiency of the material handling operation.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
