Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material handling operation technology, and in particular to a magnetic rotor coated with rubber for material handling robot. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of mechanical manufacturing, the production process of rubber-coated magnetic rotor parts has always been a key research focus. With the continuous development of the manufacturing industry, the demand for rubber-coated magnetic rotor parts is increasing, and efficient and precise production methods have become a key factor in enhancing enterprise competitiveness.

[0003] In the traditional production process of magnetic rotor overmolded parts, especially in multi-cavity mold manufacturing, manual operation is typically employed. After the parts are injection molded, workers need to manually remove them one by one. This process requires workers to concentrate and operate in a specific order. After removing the parts, the magnetic rotors are then placed back into the mold cavities. Furthermore, the high positioning of some mold cavities can complicate the worker's operation. Workers may need to adjust their posture, use certain tools, or adopt special stances to complete the operation.

[0004] Existing manual operation methods have significant drawbacks. When producing magnetic rotor-coated parts using multi-cavity molds, manually picking up and placing parts sequentially is inefficient. This is especially true when some cavities are located high up, which not only increases the difficulty of operation but also makes it difficult to guarantee the continuity and accuracy of manual movements, leading to errors, damage to finished parts, or inaccurate placement, ultimately greatly reducing overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a magnetic rotor-driven encapsulation and material handling robot. The robot arm is connected to a fixed plate. A first operating plate on the front, driven by a first pushing mechanism, drives a first material handling device to retrieve the finished product from the mold. Similarly, a second operating plate on the back holds the magnetic rotor. This achieves automated material handling, with clear division of labor, improved efficiency and accuracy, and compatibility with automated production lines, reducing manual intervention.

[0006] This application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A magnetic rotor-coated material handling robot includes

[0008] A fixed plate is mounted on a robotic arm, which provides the driving force for its movement.

[0009] The first operating plate is slidably connected to the fixed plate on the front side of the fixed plate via the first guide rod; the first operating plate is provided with a plurality of first material picking devices for grabbing finished parts in the mold, and a first pushing mechanism is provided between the fixed plate and the first operating plate. The first pushing mechanism is used to drive the first material picking devices to move along the first guide rod to remove the finished parts that have emerged from the mold.

[0010] The second operating plate is slidably connected to the fixed plate on the back of the fixed plate via the second guide rod; the second operating plate is provided with a plurality of second material picking devices for gripping the magnetic rotor; a second pushing mechanism is provided between the fixed plate and the second operating plate; the second pushing mechanism is used to drive the second material picking devices to move along the second guide rod to place the magnetic rotor into the mold.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, efficient material handling and unloading operations can be achieved. The fixed plate is mounted on the robotic arm and can be moved by the robotic arm, facilitating flexible position adjustment. The first operating plate slides on the front of the fixed plate via the first guide rod, and the first pushing mechanism drives the first picking device to move along the first guide rod, accurately grabbing the finished parts emerging from the mold. The second operating plate slides on the back of the fixed plate via the second guide rod, and the second pushing mechanism drives the second picking device to move along the second guide rod, accurately placing the magnetic rotor into the mold. This design allows the robotic arm to simultaneously complete the actions of removing finished parts and placing the magnetic rotor into the mold, greatly improving production efficiency and meeting the needs of automated production.

[0012] Optionally, both the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism are pneumatic telescopic cylinders.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, setting the first and second pushing mechanisms as pneumatic telescopic cylinders offers multiple advantages. The pneumatic telescopic cylinders provide stable and controllable driving force, enabling the first and second picking devices to move precisely along their respective guide rods. Their fast response speed allows the first picking device to quickly remove the finished part, allowing the second picking device to be placed into the magnetic rotor. This improves the overall efficiency and operational accuracy of the magnetic rotor-coated picking robot, meeting the high-efficiency and stable requirements of the production process.

[0014] Optionally, the first material handling device is a three-jaw cylinder, and the movable end of the three-jaw cylinder is provided with an L-shaped gripper.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the first material handling device uses a three-jaw cylinder, which can effectively grasp finished parts through its stable opening and closing action. The L-shaped gripper at the moving end of the three-jaw cylinder increases the contact area with the finished parts, making the grip more secure. This structural design makes the robotic arm's grasping operation of finished parts more precise and reliable during the material handling process, reducing the risk of grasping errors and parts falling, improving the efficiency and stability of material handling, and thus ensuring the smooth operation of the entire magnetic rotor coating and material handling process.

[0016] Optionally, the contact surface between the L-shaped gripper and the finished part has an arc-shaped structure.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact surface between the L-shaped gripper and the finished part has an arc-shaped structure, which increases the contact area between the gripper and the finished part, making the gripping more stable and reliable. The arc-shaped structure can better conform to the shape of the finished part, avoiding damage to the surface of the part during gripping and ensuring the quality of the finished part. This design can also effectively disperse the gripping force, reduce local stress concentration, reduce the risk of part deformation, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of the robot arm in gripping finished parts.

[0018] Optionally, the upper two sides of the fixing plate are provided with first guide holes adapted to the first guide rod, and the lower two sides are provided with second guide holes adapted to the second guide rod.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the first guide holes on both sides of the upper end of the fixed plate are adapted to the first guide rod, and the second guide holes on both sides of the lower end are adapted to the second guide rod, enabling the first operating plate and the second operating plate to slide smoothly along the first guide rod and the second guide rod, respectively. This adaptation design provides precise guidance for the actions of the first picking device to remove finished parts and the second picking device to place the magnetic rotor, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the operation, thereby improving the overall working efficiency and reliability of the magnetic rotor coating picking robot.

[0020] Optionally, the second material handling device includes a tube seat fixed on the second operating plate. The tube seat has a pipe with a large end and a small end. The diameter of the large end is adapted to the magnetic rotor, and the small end is connected to a charging / discharging device through a pipe.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the tube seat of the second material handling device is fixed to the second operating plate, and the diameter of its large end is adapted to the magnetic rotor, enabling precise positioning and contact with the magnetic rotor. The small end is connected to the inflation / deflation device, allowing flexible control of the adsorption and release of the magnetic rotor during inflation / deflation. This structural design makes the material handling process more stable and efficient, enabling quick and accurate grasping and placement of the magnetic rotor, effectively improving the working efficiency and material handling accuracy of the magnetic rotor-coated material handling robot.

[0022] Optionally, the tail ends of the first guide rod and the second guide rod are provided with limiting blocks.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, limiting blocks are set at the tails of the first and second guide rods, effectively preventing the first and second operating plates from detaching from the fixed plate during sliding. When the first pushing mechanism drives the first operating plate to move along the first guide rod, and the second pushing mechanism drives the second operating plate to move along the second guide rod, the limiting blocks can play a limiting role, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the material picking and unloading actions, avoiding the impact on the normal operation of the magnetic rotor coated material picking robot due to excessive sliding of the first and second operating plates, and improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0024] Optionally, both the first operating plate and the fixed plate have process holes in the middle; the first operating plate has an H-shaped structure, and the first material handling device is installed at the four corners of the first operating plate.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, a process hole is set in the middle of the first operating plate and the fixed plate, which can reduce the overall weight of the robot arm, reduce the load on the robot arm, and reduce energy consumption. The first operating plate is designed with an H-shaped structure, which further reduces its own weight while ensuring structural strength. Installing the first material handling device at the four corners of the first operating plate can make the gripping action more stable and balanced, which can facilitate the precise gripping of finished parts in the mold, improve material handling efficiency and accuracy, and enhance the working performance of the entire magnetic rotor coating material handling robot arm.

[0026] Optionally, the first and second operation panels are arranged alternately.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the first and second operating plates are arranged in an alternating manner, which effectively utilizes space and avoids mutual interference during their movement, enabling smooth material handling operations. This arrangement also makes the robot arm's structure more compact and reduces its space occupation. Simultaneously, the alternating arrangement improves the robot arm's working efficiency, allowing the first material handling device to grip finished parts and the second material handling device to place the magnetic rotor efficiently and orderly, thus enhancing the overall smoothness of production.

[0028] Optionally, the second operating plate has an H-shaped structure, the second material handling device is fixed at the four corners of the second operating plate, and the middle of the second operating plate is provided with a clearance hole for the first material handling device to pass through.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the second operating plate is designed with an H-shaped structure, and the second material handling device is fixed at the four corners. On the one hand, this makes the structural layout more reasonable, effectively utilizes space, and ensures the stability and accuracy of material handling. On the other hand, an avoidance hole is set in the middle of the second operating plate for the first material handling device to pass through, which allows the first and second material handling devices to work alternately, avoiding mutual interference between the two during operation, thereby improving the working efficiency and overall performance of the magnetic rotor coated material handling robot.

[0030] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] 1. This application achieves movement by connecting a robotic arm to a fixed plate. The first operating plate on the front works with the first material handling device to pick up finished parts, while the second operating plate on the back works with the second material handling device to place a magnetic rotor. The first guide rod and the first pushing mechanism, as well as the second guide rod and the second pushing mechanism, ensure linear movement, thereby achieving automated material handling. The division of labor is clear to avoid interference, improve efficiency and accuracy, facilitate integration into automated production lines, and reduce manual intervention.

[0032] 2. This application makes the contact surface between the L-shaped gripper and the finished part arc-shaped, so that it fits the part better, increases the contact area, distributes the force more evenly, reduces the risk of damage to the finished part under pressure, improves gripping stability, prevents the finished part from falling, and ensures the reliability of material handling.

[0033] 3. This application designs a tube seat structure with a magnetic rotor adapted to the large end and an air filling and releasing device connected to the small end. By using air pressure changes to grasp and release the magnetic rotor, non-contact grasping is achieved, effectively avoiding damage to the magnetic rotor. Air pressure control enables quick and flexible picking and releasing, improving operational efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0044] The technical solutions of various embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] Reference Figures 1-3This application discloses a magnetic rotor coating material handling robot, including a fixed plate 2, mounted on a robotic arm 1, which is driven by the robotic arm 1; a first operating plate 3, slidably connected to the fixed plate 2 on the front side via a first guide rod 21; the first operating plate 3 is provided with a plurality of first material handling devices 32 for gripping finished parts 31 in a mold 5, and a first pushing mechanism 22 is provided between the fixed plate 2 and the first operating plate 3, the first pushing mechanism 22 being used to drive the first material handling devices 32 to move along the first guide rod 21 to remove the finished parts 31 emerging from the mold 5; a second operating plate 4, slidably connected to the fixed plate 2 on the back side via a second guide rod 23; the second operating plate 4 is provided with a plurality of second material handling devices 42 for gripping magnetic rotors 41, and a second pushing mechanism 24 is provided between the fixed plate 2 and the second operating plate 4, the second pushing mechanism 24 being used to drive the second material handling devices 42 to move along the second guide rod 23 to place the magnetic rotors 41 into the mold 5.

[0047] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The upper two sides of the fixed plate 2 are provided with first guide holes 25 that are adapted to the first guide rod 21, and the lower two sides are provided with second guide holes 26 that are adapted to the second guide rod 23. The cooperation between the first guide hole 25 and the first guide rod 21, and the cooperation between the second guide hole 26 and the second guide rod 23, provides a precise guide path for the sliding of the first and second operating plates 4, ensuring that the movement of the operating plates is more stable and accurate.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 An air guide seat 51 is provided on the side of the mold 5. When the second material handling device 42 releases the magnetic rotor 41, the externally set air pipe draws out the air in the air guide seat 51, thereby adsorbing the magnetic rotor 41 into the mold cavity of the mold 5, ensuring that it is accurately placed in the mold 5. When it is necessary to remove the finished part 31 from the mold 5, the externally set air pipe introduces air into the air guide seat 51, thereby releasing the finished part 31 in the mold cavity, so that the first material handling device 32 can adsorb the finished part 31.

[0049] Reference Figures 2-3 Both the first pushing mechanism 22 and the second pushing mechanism 24 are pneumatic telescopic cylinders. The first operating plate 3 and the second operating plate 4 are arranged alternately. This arrangement can further avoid mutual interference between the two during operation, improving the working efficiency and stability of the robotic arm device.

[0050] Reference Figures 4-6The first guide rod 21 and the second guide rod 23 are provided with limiting blocks 211 at their tails. The limiting blocks 211 prevent the first operating plate 3 from detaching from the first guide rod 21 and the second operating plate 4 from detaching from the second guide rod 23 during sliding, thus providing safety protection. The limiting blocks 211 can be rubber or metal blocks and can be fixed to the tails of the first guide rod 21 and the second guide rod 23 by bolts.

[0051] Reference Figure 5 The second material handling device 42 includes a tube seat 421 fixed on the second operating plate 4. The tube seat 421 has a pipe with a large end 4211 and a small end 4212. The diameter of the large end 4211 is adapted to the magnetic rotor 41, and the small end 4212 is connected to an inflation / deflation device 43 through a pipe. When the inflation / deflation device 43 deflates, the magnetic rotor 41 is attracted to the large end 4211 of the tube seat 421, realizing the grasping action; when the inflation / deflation device 43 inflates, the magnetic rotor 41 is released, completing the placement action. In some cases, the second material handling device 42 can also use an electromagnetic chuck to replace the tube seat 421. The electromagnetic chuck uses electromagnetic force to attract and release the magnetic rotor 41, which has higher attraction force and stability.

[0052] Reference Figure 7 The first material handling device 32 is a three-jaw cylinder 321, with an L-shaped gripper 3211 at its movable end. The three-jaw cylinder 321 works by using air pressure to drive the three grippers to move simultaneously, thus gripping and releasing the part. In some special cases, the first material handling device 32 can also use an electric gripper instead of the three-jaw cylinder 321, which offers higher precision and controllability. The contact surface between the L-shaped gripper 3211 and the finished part 31 is an arc-shaped structure 3212. This arc-shaped structure 3212 better conforms to the shape of the finished part 31, preventing damage during gripping.

[0053] Reference Figure 8 Both the first operating plate 3 and the fixed plate 2 have process holes 33 in the middle; the first operating plate 3 has an H-shaped structure 34, and the first material handling device 32 is installed at the four corners of the first operating plate 3. The setting of process holes 33 not only reduces the weight of the entire device, but also facilitates the installation and debugging of other components; the first material handling device 32 is installed at the four corners of the first operating plate 3, and this layout can make material handling more stable and accurate.

[0054] Reference Figure 9 The second operating plate 4 has an H-shaped structure 34. The second material handling device 42 is fixed at the four corners of the second operating plate 4, and the middle of the second operating plate 4 is provided with a clearance hole 44 for the first material handling device 32 to pass through. The clearance hole 44 ensures that the first operating plate 3 and the second operating plate 4 will not interfere with each other during operation, thus ensuring the normal operation of the entire robotic arm device.

[0055] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: the robotic arm 1 drives the fixed plate 2 to move, moving the entire robotic arm device to a suitable position. When it is necessary to remove the finished part 31, the first pushing mechanism 22 pushes the first operating plate 3 to move along the first guide rod 21, and the first picking device 32 grabs the finished part 31; when it is necessary to insert the magnetic rotor 41, the second pushing mechanism 24 pushes the second operating plate 4 to move along the second guide rod 23, and the second picking device 42 grabs the magnetic rotor 41 and places it into the mold 5. This structural design enables the robotic arm to efficiently and accurately complete the picking and placing operations during the process of encapsulating the magnetic rotor 41. Compared with traditional picking methods, it improves production efficiency, reduces labor costs, and reduces damage to parts, adapting to the requirements of modern production for high efficiency, precision, and stability, and making a significant improvement and contribution to existing technology.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
