Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of adapter piece feeding technology, and more specifically to an automatic positioning and feeding device for adapter pieces with anti-misalignment function. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of technology and the development of industrial automation, more and more enterprises are seeking automation solutions to improve production efficiency and product quality. Automatic positioning and feeding equipment for adapter pieces with anti-misalignment function has emerged, which can quickly and accurately complete the feeding of adapter pieces, significantly improving production efficiency.
[0003] The mechanical grippers used in existing equipment often employ vertical gripping for positioning when grasping the adapter plate. This gripping method can easily cause wear on the adapter plate and is inconvenient for positioning.
[0004] In addition, existing equipment requires real-time updates to the coordinate position of the current adapter plate every time it is loaded by mechanical grippers, which can easily lead to deviations over long-term use.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an automatic positioning and feeding device for adapter pieces with anti-misalignment function. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic positioning and feeding device for adapter pieces with anti-misalignment function, so as to solve the problems existing in the background art.
[0007] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic positioning and feeding device for adapter pieces with anti-misalignment function, including a main component and a transmission component installed on the main component, a plate-laying component is provided on the transmission component, a clamping component is provided directly above the main component, and a snap-fit component is provided between the transmission component and the plate-laying component.
[0008] Preferably, the main component includes a base plate, a limiting plate, and a photosensitive sensor, wherein there are four limiting plates, which are fixedly installed diagonally on the base plate, and the photosensitive sensor is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting plate located on the front side.
[0009] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a first motor, a first gear, a second gear, a first toothed belt, a one-way threaded rod, and a limiting rod. The first motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate. The first motor drive shaft passes through the base plate and is fixedly sleeved on the first gear. The second gear is fixedly sleeved on the lower side of the one-way threaded rod. The lower end of the one-way threaded rod is rotatably engaged with the base plate. The first toothed belt meshes and wraps between the first gear and the second gear. The limiting rod is fixedly installed at the top of the base plate. At this time, the first motor drive shaft drives the first gear to rotate and drives the second gear to rotate through the first toothed belt.
[0010] Preferably, the snap-fit assembly includes a snap-fit metal sleeve, an internal thread, and a convex limiting block. The snap-fit metal sleeve has an internal thread on its inner edge and a convex limiting block on its outer side. Under the rotation of the one-way threaded rod, the plate-releasing assembly is driven upward through the meshing action between the internal thread inside the snap-fit metal sleeve and the one-way threaded rod until the photosensitive sensor detects that the current adapter piece has moved to the designated position.
[0011] Preferably, the plate placement assembly includes a placement plate, limiting members, snap-fit grooves, and grippers. The grippers are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the placement plate, and the limiting members are fixedly installed at the four corners of the placement plate. The limiting member located on the right front side has a snap-fit groove, and the other three limiting members are movably sleeved with the corresponding limiting rods. The snap-fit groove is snapped into a snap-fit metal sleeve with a convex limiting block.
[0012] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a positioning plate, clamping arms, bidirectional threaded posts, a third gear, a second motor, a fourth gear, a second toothed belt, a rubber stop block, and a robotic arm. The robotic arm is fixedly mounted on the positioning plate. The clamping arms are slidably connected in pairs to the bottom of the positioning plate. The bidirectional threaded posts are threadedly fitted in pairs onto the front and rear ends of the two clamping arms. The third gear is fixedly fitted onto the right end of the bidirectional threaded posts. The second motor is fixedly mounted on the positioning plate. The second motor drive shaft is fixedly fitted onto the fourth gear. The second toothed belt is engaged and wound between the two third gears and the fourth gear. The rubber abutment is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the positioning plate. At this time, the robotic arm can move the positioning plate to directly above the placement plate and press down until the rubber abutment is directly above the adapter piece. Then, the second motor drive shaft drives the fourth gear to rotate, and the fourth gear drives the third gear to rotate together. The clamping arms on both sides are driven to move towards the center, thereby driving the lower clamping jaws to fix the four corners of the adapter piece. Then, the robotic arm lifts the positioning plate and moves the adapter piece to the designated position and releases the clamping jaws. The difference between the height of the clamping jaws at the bottom of the clamping arms and the rubber abutment is equal to the thickness of the adapter piece.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] The gripping assembly is designed to grip the adapter plate from all four corners, making the force more even and less prone to damage. At the same time, the design of the plate placement assembly and transmission assembly ensures that the gripper's gripping positioning remains consistent, making the positioning operation of the robotic arm more convenient.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The transmission assembly 2 includes a first motor 201, a first gear 202, a second gear 203, a first toothed belt 204, a one-way threaded rod 205, and a limiting rod 206. The first motor 201 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate 101. The transmission shaft of the first motor 201 passes through the base plate 101 and is fixedly sleeved on the first gear 202. The second gear 203 is fixedly sleeved on the lower side of the one-way threaded rod 205. The lower end of the one-way threaded rod 205 is rotatably engaged with the base plate 101. The first toothed belt 204 meshes and wraps between the first gear 202 and the second gear 203. The limiting rod 206 is fixedly installed at the top of the base plate 101. At this time, the transmission shaft of the first motor 201 drives the first gear 202 to rotate and drives the second gear 203 to rotate through the first toothed belt 204.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The snap-fit assembly 3 includes a snap-fit metal sleeve 301, an internal thread 302, and a convex limiting block 303. The snap-fit metal sleeve 301 has an internal thread 302 inside, and the snap-fit metal sleeve 301 has a convex limiting block 303 outside. At this time, under the rotation of the one-way threaded rod 205, the plate-releasing assembly 4 is driven to move upward through the meshing action between the internal thread 302 inside the snap-fit metal sleeve 301 and the one-way threaded rod 205 until the photosensitive sensor 103 obtains that the current adapter piece has moved to the designated position.
[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The plate assembly 4 includes a plate 401, a limiting member 402, a snap-fit groove 403, and a gripper 404. The gripper 404 is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the plate 401, and the limiting member 402 is fixedly installed at the four corners of the plate 401. The limiting member 402 located on the right front side has a snap-fit groove 403. The other three limiting members 402 are movably sleeved with the corresponding limiting rods 206. The snap-fit groove 403 is snapped with the snap-fit metal sleeve 301 with a convex limiting block 303.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 The clamping assembly 5 includes a positioning plate 501, clamping arms 502, bidirectional threaded posts 503, a third gear 504, a second motor 505, a fourth gear 506, a second toothed belt 507, a rubber stop block 508, and a robotic arm 509. The robotic arm 509 is fixedly mounted on the positioning plate 501. The clamping arms 502 are slidably connected in pairs to the bottom of the positioning plate 501. The bidirectional threaded posts 503 are threaded in pairs onto the front and rear ends of the two clamping arms 502. The third gear 504 is fixedly sleeved on the right end of the bidirectional threaded posts 503. The second motor 505 is fixedly mounted on the positioning plate 501. The drive shaft of the second motor 505 is fixedly sleeved onto the fourth gear 506. The second toothed belt 507 meshes with… The rubber abutment 508 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the positioning plate 501, with the two third gears 504 and the fourth gear 506 interlocked. At this time, the robotic arm 509 can drive the positioning plate 501 to move directly above the placement plate 401 and press down until the rubber abutment 508 is directly above the adapter piece. Then, the second motor 505 drives the fourth gear 506 to rotate through the transmission shaft, and then the third gear 504 rotates together through the fourth gear 506. The clamping arms 502 on both sides are driven to move towards the center, thereby driving the lower clamping jaws to fix the four corners of the adapter piece. Then, the robotic arm 509 lifts the positioning plate 501 and moves the adapter piece to the designated position and releases the clamping jaws.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this device, the robotic arm 509 moves the positioning plate 501 to directly above the placement plate 401 and presses it down until the rubber abutment 508 is directly above the adapter piece. At this time, the transmission shaft of the second motor 505 drives the fourth gear 506 to rotate, which in turn drives the third gear 504 to rotate together. The clamping arms 502 on both sides are driven to move towards the center, thereby driving the lower clamping jaws to fix the four corners of the adapter piece. Then, the robotic arm 509 lifts the positioning plate 501 and moves the adapter piece to the designated position and releases the clamping jaws. At this time, the photosensitive sensor 103 recognizes that the adapter piece has been removed. The transmission shaft of the first motor 201 drives the third gear 504 to rotate. A gear 202 rotates, and through a first toothed belt 204, it drives a second gear 203 and a one-way threaded rod 205 fixedly sleeved with it to rotate. The plate dispensing assembly 4 is driven upward by the meshing action of the internal thread 302 opened inside the snap-fit metal sleeve 301 and the one-way threaded rod 205 until the photosensitive sensor 103 obtains that the current adapter piece has moved to the designated position. The limiting rod 206 limits the plate dispensing assembly 4 through the movable sleeve relationship with the limiting member 402. When the internal thread 302 opened inside the snap-fit metal sleeve 301 is worn after a long period of use, the plate dispensing assembly 4 can be pulled out by grasping the gripper 404, and then the snap-fit metal sleeve 301 can be screwed upward and replaced.
