Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an automated multi-angle conveying mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the automated stamping production process of sheet metal products, stamping dies for each process need to be installed on an automated stamping production line. Finished parts are obtained only after the parts have undergone stamping processing through each die sequence from start to finish. Since the handling of parts between processes is done by robots, the robots cannot handle parts with excessively variable stamping angles due to limitations on the stamping angles of parts in the preceding and following processes. Only by adding the automated multi-angle conveying mechanism of this invention can automated production be achieved. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an automated multi-angle conveying mechanism to solve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] frame;
[0006] A load-bearing component is mounted on the frame and has a load-bearing surface for bearing materials;
[0007] A transfer component is mounted on the frame and positioned opposite to the load-bearing component. The transfer component has a rotating shaft, a connecting rod connected to the rotating shaft, and a suction cup fixed to the end of the connecting rod. The suction cup has the function of gripping the material and can grip the material and rotate it along the rotating shaft so that the material falls onto the load-bearing component.
[0008] In one embodiment, the connecting structure comprises multiple suction cup groups, each of which is mounted on the connecting rod and used to grip the material.
[0009] In one embodiment, the transfer component further includes a bearing housing and a rotating shaft assembled in the bearing housing, and a drive motor for driving the rotating shaft to rotate.
[0010] In one embodiment, the supporting component includes a sliding base that can move toward or away from the mold along the track direction, and the sliding base is provided with a supporting surface for the material.
[0011] In one embodiment, a sliding rail is mounted on the sliding base, and the rail slider is mounted on the frame and cooperates with the rail.
[0012] In one embodiment, there are two sliding tracks arranged opposite to each other, and two linear guide sliders are respectively arranged on the two sliding tracks, with the two sliding tracks fixedly connected to the sliding base.
[0013] In one embodiment, the supporting component further includes a telescopic cylinder, the piston shaft of which is connected to the sliding base of the supporting component.
[0014] In one embodiment, the automated multi-angle conveying mechanism further includes a flexible limiting member disposed on the frame and located at the forward and reverse extreme positions of the transfer component.
[0015] In one embodiment, the automated multi-angle conveying mechanism further includes a positioning element disposed on the frame and quickly connected to the lower mold by a pin.
[0016] In one embodiment, the automated multi-angle conveying mechanism further includes a limiting plate disposed on the frame and engaged with the T-slot of the press lower bed.

[0018] frame;
[0019] A load-bearing component is mounted on the frame and has a load-bearing surface for bearing materials;

[0031] This utility model provides an automated multi-angle conveying mechanism.
[0032] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the automated multi-angle conveying mechanism provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0033] Rack size 50;
[0034] The bearing component 60 is mounted on the linear guide 62 of the frame 50 and is associated with the telescopic component 63. The bearing component 60 has a partial bearing surface for receiving the material 80. In addition to ensuring the bearing of the required inertial impact, it also has the function of gravity self-guiding the material.
[0035] A transfer component is provided on the frame 50. The transfer component has a rotating shaft 73, and a connecting main rod 70 and a connecting secondary rod 71 connected thereto. A connecting structure is provided on the connecting secondary rod 71. The connecting structure can drive the material 80 located on the lower die 30 fixed on the lower bed table 10 of the press. The material 80 on the lower die 30 falls onto the bearing component 60 under the rotation of the rotating shaft 73.
[0036] In this embodiment, the material 80 located on the lower die 30 can be transferred to the bearing component 60 by the transfer component. During the transfer process, the material 80 can be flipped by the transfer component so that the angle of the material is consistent with the stamping angle of the subsequent process die, so as to achieve the purpose of automated production.
[0037] The linear guide 62 is installed in conjunction with the linear guide slider, which is mounted on the frame 50 and locked to the slider mounting base 55. The bearing component 60 has two linear guides 62 arranged opposite each other, and two linear guide sliders are respectively mounted on the frame 50 and positioned on both sides of the telescopic component 63, matching and installed with the linear guides 62.
[0038] The connecting structure comprises multiple suction cups 72, all of which are mounted on the connecting auxiliary rod 71 and used to adsorb the material 80. The suction cup assembly has multiple suction cups 72, which can be used to pick up the material 80. The multiple suction cups 72 can be flexibly spaced or added / removed along the connecting auxiliary rod 71 to improve the stability of the suction cup assembly when picking up the material 80 and prevent the material 80 from detaching from the suction cup assembly.
[0039] The transfer component also includes a mounting base and a drive motor 56 mounted on the mounting base. The drive motor 56 and the rotating shaft 73 are connected via a motor reduction section 57 to drive the connecting main rod 70 to rotate around the rotating shaft 73. In this embodiment, the rotation of the rotating shaft 73 is driven by the drive motor 56. By rotating the drive motor 56 in both forward and reverse directions, during the rotation of the rotating shaft 73, the connecting main rod 70 drives the connecting auxiliary rod 71 and the suction cup 72 mounted on the connecting auxiliary rod 71 to swing between the lower mold 30 and the supporting component 60, thereby realizing the handling and angle flipping of the material 80.
[0040] The automated multi-angle conveying mechanism provided by this utility model also includes a connecting limiting plate 51 disposed on the frame 50 and connected to the press lower bed 10. In the embodiment, after the lower die 30 is installed and fixed on the press lower bed 10 outside the automated stamping production line, it falls along the T-slot of the press lower bed 10 and is then pushed into the limiting plate 51 and inserted into the T-slot. When the positioning hole on the positioning plate 52 is basically aligned with the positioning hole on the lower die 30, a pin is inserted to achieve rapid off-line installation. After a one-click mold change and quick switching of production products, the upper mold 40 is automatically clamped onto the upper slide block 20 of the press. When the robot feeds in the blank and production reaches the current process, the robot feeds in the part to be stamped in the current process. The upper slide block 20 of the press drives the upper mold 40 mounted on it to move downward to perform work. After the work is completed, the upper slide block 20 of the press drives the upper mold 40 to move upward. At this time, the transfer mechanism is driven by the forward rotation of the drive motor 56, so that the suction cup group approaches the material 80 on the lower mold 30 to pick it up. The detection element on the transfer component gives a signal to... The drive motor 56 reverses, causing the material 80 gripped by the suction cup 72 to fall onto the bearing surface 61 of the bearing component 60. After the detection element on the bearing component 60 detects the material, the piston shaft of the telescopic cylinder extends, driving the bearing component 60 away from the mold. After triggering the limit switch, a signal is given to the robot to start the material feeding and picking operation. After the lower mold of the mold inserts the part to be stamped, and the material 80 on the bearing component 60 is gripped by the robot and transferred to the next process mold, the next cycle of work begins, completing the automated production line.
[0041] In addition, the automated multi-angle conveying mechanism also includes four flexible limiting members 5354 disposed on the frame 50 and located at the rotation stroke control of the transfer component. By placing the flexible limiting members 5354 at the end of the forward and reverse swing of the connecting main rod 70 of the transfer component, the flexible limiting members 5354 can absorb the inertial force of the swing of the transfer component when the connecting main rod 70 is stopped by the limit switch, thus preventing damage to the transfer component, and also serving as a support for the transfer component when the mechanism is not in use.
[0042] 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 concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
