Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material handling equipment, and more particularly to an automatic material handling equipment for products on a conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, automated production lines require products to achieve automatic positioning and material handling at workstations such as labeling, bonding, and assembly. Existing material handling methods are generally mechanical, which guide and position the product in one or two directions by guide baffles or guide strips installed on the conveyor line, thereby achieving material handling. During the conveyor line's transport of the product, the product's position and orientation are corrected through contact and sliding with the guide baffles or guide strips, thus achieving the purpose of guiding, positioning, and material handling.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, during mechanical material handling, when the guide baffle or guide strip is used to handle the product, the guiding and positioning gap between the guide baffle or guide strip and the product is easily too large, resulting in low material handling positioning accuracy and poor material handling effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To improve the material handling efficiency, this application provides an automatic material handling device for products on a conveyor line.

[0005] The automatic product straightening device on a conveyor line provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic product straightening device on a conveyor line includes a first straightening mechanism and a second straightening mechanism. The straightening directions of the first straightening mechanism and the second straightening mechanism are perpendicular to each other. The first straightening mechanism includes at least two first straightening plates and at least one set of first driving components. The at least two first straightening plates are arranged facing each other and located on both sides of the product X-axis direction. The first driving components are used to drive the first straightening plates so that at least one of the first straightening plates moves toward the other first straightening plate facing it.

[0007] The second material forming mechanism includes at least two second material forming plates, at least two sets of lifting components, and at least one set of second driving components. At least two second material forming plates are arranged facing each other and located on both sides of the product Y-axis. The two lifting components are used to drive each of the facing second material forming plates to rise and fall along the Z-axis. The second driving component is used to drive the second material forming plates so that at least one of the second material forming plates can move toward the other facing second material forming plate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the product is conveyed along the conveyor line to the automatic straightening device, the first drive component is driven to move the first straightening plates located on both sides of the product in the X-axis direction and facing each other towards each other, or the first straightening plates on one side move towards the first straightening plates on the other side, thereby enabling the first straightening plates located on both sides of the product in the X-axis direction to clamp and straighten the product. Simultaneously with the first drive component, at least two lifting components and the second drive component are driven, and each lifting component drives the second straightening plates located on both sides of the product in the Y-axis direction to move along the Z-axis direction towards the conveyor line until each second straightening plate is at the same plane height as the product. The two drive components drive the second shaping plates on both sides of the product along the Y-axis to move closer to each other, or drive the second shaping plates on one side to move closer to the second shaping plates on the other side. This allows the second shaping plates on both sides of the product along the Y-axis to clamp and shape the product, enabling the shaping device to shape the product in two mutually perpendicular directions, namely the X-axis and Y-axis. This improves the shaping effect of the device and addresses the problem that when mechanical shaping is used, the guide baffles or guide bars may have excessively large guide positioning gaps, resulting in low shaping positioning accuracy and poor shaping effect.

[0009] Optionally, each of the first material forming plates located on one side of the product X-axis direction is fixedly disposed on the conveyor line, and each of the first material forming plates located on one side of the product X-axis direction is a first fixed material forming plate. Each of the first material forming plates located on the other side of the product X-axis direction slides and cooperates with the conveyor line along the X-axis direction, and each of the first material forming plates located on the other side of the product X-axis direction is a first movable material forming plate. The first driving component is used to drive each of the first movable material forming plates on the other side to move.

[0010] Optionally, the first drive assembly includes a first drive motor, a first drive gear, and a first drive rack. The first drive motor is fixedly mounted on the conveyor line, the first drive gear is coaxially fixedly mounted on the first drive motor, and the first drive rack is fixedly connected to each of the first movable material plates. The first drive rack and the first drive gear mesh.

[0011] Optionally, each of the first fixed material forming plates includes a fixing part and a material forming part. The fixing part is fixedly connected to the conveyor line. The material forming part has multiple through-type adjustment slots. When the fixing part and the material forming part are connected, each bolt is respectively inserted into each adjustment slot and threadedly connected to the fixing part, so that the position of the material forming part can be adjusted to be closer to or further away from the conveyor line.

[0012] Optionally, each of the second forming plates located on one side of the product's Y-axis direction can move along the Z-axis direction, and each of the second forming plates located on one side of the product's Y-axis direction is a second fixed forming plate. Each of the second forming plates located on the other side of the product's Y-axis direction can move along the Y-axis direction and can move along the Z-axis direction, and each of the second forming plates located on the other side of the product's Y-axis direction is a second movable forming plate. The second driving component is used to drive each of the second movable forming plates to move along the Y-axis direction.

[0013] Optionally, the second drive assembly is disposed on the conveyor line, one of the lifting assemblies is disposed on the second drive assembly, one of the lifting assemblies is a movable lifting assembly, the first movable material plate is disposed on the movable lifting assembly, another lifting assembly is disposed on the conveyor line, and the other lifting assembly is a fixed lifting assembly, and the first fixed material plate is disposed on the fixed lifting assembly.

[0014] Optionally, the second drive assembly includes a second drive base, a second drive motor, a second drive gear, and a second drive rack. The second drive base slides along the Y-axis and engages with the conveyor line. The second drive motor is fixedly mounted on the second drive base. The second drive gear is coaxially fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the second drive motor. The second drive gear is fixedly mounted on the conveyor line. The second drive gear and the second drive rack mesh.

[0015] Optionally, the lifting assembly includes at least one lifting cylinder and at least one lifting block, the lifting block is fixedly disposed on the piston rod of the lifting cylinder, the lifting block of the movable lifting assembly is fixedly connected to the second movable material plate, and the lifting block of the fixed lifting assembly is fixedly connected to the second fixed material plate.

[0016] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] When the product is conveyed along the conveyor line to the automatic straightening device, the first drive assembly is activated, causing the first straightening plates located on both sides of the product along the X-axis and facing each other to move closer to each other, or the first straightening plates on one side to move closer to the first straightening plates on the other side, thereby enabling the first straightening plates on both sides of the product along the X-axis to clamp and straighten the product. Simultaneously, at least two second lifting assemblies and a second drive assembly are activated. Each second lifting assembly drives the second straightening plates located on both sides of the product along the Y-axis to move along the Z-axis towards the conveyor line until each second straightening plate is at the same height as the product. The second forming plates on both sides of the product along the Y-axis direction are driven to move closer to each other, or the second forming plates on one side are driven to move closer to the second forming plates on the other side. This allows the second forming plates on both sides of the product along the Y-axis to clamp and form the product. This enables the forming device to form the product in two mutually perpendicular directions, namely the X-axis and the Y-axis, thus improving the forming effect of the forming device. This improves the problem that when mechanical forming is used, the guide baffle or guide strip can have too large a guide positioning gap, resulting in low forming positioning accuracy and poor forming effect.

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0028] This application discloses an automatic product handling device for a conveyor line. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 3 An automatic product straightening device on a conveyor line includes a first straightening mechanism 1 and a second straightening mechanism 2. Both the first straightening mechanism 1 and the second straightening mechanism 2 are disposed on the conveyor line. The straightening directions of the first straightening mechanism 1 and the second straightening mechanism 2 are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, the conveying direction of the conveyor line is set as the Y-axis direction, the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor line is set as the X-axis direction, and the height direction of the conveyor line is set as the Z-axis direction. The first straightening mechanism 1 is disposed in the X-axis direction and is used to straighten the two sides of the product in the X-axis direction. The second straightening mechanism 2 is disposed in the Y-axis direction and is used to straighten the two sides of the product in the Y-axis direction.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4The first material forming mechanism 1 includes two first material forming plates 11, which are arranged opposite each other. One first material forming plate 11 is fixedly set on the conveyor line and located on one side of the product X-axis direction. The first material forming plate 11 located on one side of the product X-axis direction is the first fixed material forming plate 112. The other first material forming plate 11 slides along the X-axis direction and is fitted to the conveyor line and located on the other side of the product X-axis direction. The first material forming plate 11 located on the other side of the product X-axis direction is the first movable material forming plate 111. The first fixed material forming plate 112 includes a fixing part 1121 and a material forming part 1122. The fixing part 1121 is fixedly installed on the conveyor line. The material forming part 1122 has multiple through-type adjustment slots 11221. The length direction of the adjustment slots 11221 is arranged along the X-axis direction. When the material forming part 1122 is connected to the fixing part 1121, each bolt is respectively inserted into each adjustment slot 11221 and threadedly connected to the fixing part 1121, so that the position of the material forming part 1122 can be adjusted to be closer to or farther away from the conveyor line, so that the material forming part 1122 can be positioned in a suitable position to abut against one side of the product in the X-axis direction and perform material forming on one side of the product in the X-axis direction.

[0030] Reference Figure 5 The first material handling mechanism 1 also includes a first drive assembly 12, which includes a first drive motor 121, a first drive gear 122 and a first drive rack 123. The first drive motor 121 is fixedly mounted on the conveyor line, the first drive gear 122 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the first drive motor 121, and the first drive rack 123 is fixedly connected to the first movable material handling plate 111. The first drive rack 123 and the first drive gear 122 mesh with each other.

[0031] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7The second material handling mechanism 2 includes a second drive assembly 21 and two sets of lifting assemblies 22. The second drive assembly 21 is disposed on the conveyor line and located on one side of the product's Y-axis direction. The second drive assembly 21 includes a second drive base 211, a second drive motor 212, a second drive gear 213, and a second drive rack 214. The second drive base 211 slides along the Y-axis direction and engages with the conveyor line. The second drive motor 212 is fixedly disposed on the second drive base 211. The second drive gear 213 is coaxially fixedly disposed on the output shaft of the second drive motor 212 and is fixedly disposed on the conveyor line. The second drive gear 213 meshes with the second drive rack 214. One set of lifting assemblies 22 is located on one side of the product's Y-axis direction and is disposed on the second drive assembly 21. The lifting assembly 22 located on one side of the product's Y-axis direction is a movable lifting assembly 221. The other set of lifting assemblies 22 is located on the other side of the product's Y-axis direction and is disposed on the conveyor line. The lifting assembly 22 located on the other side of the product's Y-axis direction is a fixed lifting assembly 222. The mobile lifting assembly 221 includes two lifting cylinders 2211 and two lifting blocks 2212. The two lifting cylinders 2211 are fixedly mounted on the second drive seat 211, and the two lifting blocks 2212 are respectively fixedly mounted on the piston rods of the two lifting cylinders 2211. The fixed lifting assembly 222 includes one lifting cylinder 2211 and one lifting block 2212. The lifting cylinder 2211 is fixedly mounted on the conveyor line.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The second material straightening mechanism 2 also includes two second material straightening plates 23, which are arranged opposite each other and located on both sides of the product's Y-axis direction. The second material straightening plate 23 located on one side of the product's Y-axis direction is the second movable material straightening plate 231, which is connected to the movable lifting assembly 221. The second movable material straightening plate 231 is fixedly connected to each lifting block 2212 of the movable lifting assembly 221. The second material straightening plate 23 located on the other side of the product's Y-axis direction is the second fixed material straightening plate 232, which is connected to the fixed lifting assembly 222. The second fixed material straightening plate 232 is fixedly connected to the lifting block 2212 of the fixed lifting assembly 222.

[0033] The implementation principle of the automatic product straightening device on the conveyor line in this application embodiment is as follows: When the product is conveyed to the automatic straightening device along the conveyor line, the first drive component 12 is driven to move the first movable straightening plate 111 toward the first fixed straightening plate 112, thereby enabling the two first straightening plates 11 located on both sides of the product in the X-axis direction to clamp and straighten the product on both sides in the X-axis direction; at the same time as the first drive component 12 is driven, the two lifting components 22 and the second drive component 21 are driven, and the two lifting components 22 respectively drive the second straightening plates 23 located on both sides of the product in the Y-axis direction to move toward the conveyor line along the Z-axis direction until the two second straightening plates 23... Both are located at the same plane height as the product. The second drive component 21 drives the second moving material plate 231 to move towards the second fixed material plate 232, so that the two second material plates 23 located on both sides of the product in the Y-axis direction can clamp and shape the product on both sides in the Y-axis direction. This allows the material shaping device to shape the product in two mutually perpendicular directions, namely the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, thereby improving the material shaping effect of the material shaping device. This improves the problem that when mechanical material shaping is used, the guide baffle or guide strip can easily have too large a guide positioning gap with the product, resulting in low material shaping positioning accuracy and poor material shaping effect.

[0034] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
