[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an automatic loading and unloading stabilizing curing device includes a loading bracket 1, an unloading bracket 2, a base 3, a robotic arm 31, and a curing device 5. The curing device 5 includes a base plate 51, on which a support plate 6 and a vertical plate 7 are fixed. A main plate 61 is mounted on the support plate 6, and a heating copper block 62 is mounted on the main plate 61. A slide rail 72 is mounted on the side wall of the vertical plate 7 facing the main plate 61, and a sliding frame 8 is slidably connected to the slide rail 72. A counterweight 81 is detachably fixed on the sliding frame 8. An upper cylinder 71 for driving the counterweight 81 is mounted on the other side of the vertical plate 7. The robotic arm 31 and the base 3 are located between the loading bracket 1 and the unloading bracket 2, and the robotic arm 31 can move between the loading bracket 1, the curing device 5, and the unloading bracket 2. The loading bracket 1 is used to place... The product to be cured is the starting point for the curing process; it is usually equipped with a positioning device to ensure the accuracy and consistency of product placement, facilitating accurate grasping by the robot arm 31. The discharge bracket 2 is used to place the cured product, serving as its storage location after the curing process is completed; it is also equipped with a positioning device to facilitate the smooth progress of subsequent processes or packaging. The base 3 serves as the supporting foundation for the robot arm 31, ensuring its stable operation; the base 3 must possess sufficient rigidity and stability to withstand the forces and vibrations generated by the robot arm 31 during its movement. The robot arm 31 moves between the loading bracket 1, the curing device 5, and the discharge bracket 2 to achieve automatic loading and unloading of products; the robot arm 31 can move freely in three-dimensional space, adapting to different positions and angles. The system handles product gripping and placement; high-precision sensors and control systems ensure the accuracy of product gripping and placement; it connects to the electronic control frame to achieve automated control, reduce manual intervention, and improve production efficiency; positioned between the feeding bracket 1 and the discharging bracket 2, it ensures that the robotic arm 31 can cover all areas requiring operation; the curing device 5 is the core part of the equipment, responsible for product pressing and curing; the base plate 51 serves as the basic support for the curing device 5, ensuring the stability of the entire device; the base plate 51 must have sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the forces and vibrations generated during the curing process; the support plate 6 is fixed to the base plate 51 to support the main board 61 and other components; the upright plate 7 is set perpendicular to the base plate 51, and sliding surfaces are provided on the side wall facing the main board 61. The track 72 provides a sliding track for the sliding frame 8; together they form the frame structure of the curing device 5, ensuring the accurate position and stable operation of each component; the main board 61 serves as the mounting base for the heating copper block 62 and other components; the main board 61 must have good thermal conductivity and mechanical strength to ensure that the heat generated by the heating copper block 62 can be evenly transferred to the product; the heating copper block 62 activates the PSA adhesive between the small parts and the product through continuous heating, realizing the pressing and curing of the product; ensuring that all parts of the product are heated evenly, avoiding differences in pressing quality caused by local overheating or undercooling; an internal temperature control device is provided to accurately control the heating temperature and meet the curing requirements of different products; the slide rail 72 is set on the side wall of the upright plate 7 facing the main board 61, providing a sliding track for the sliding frame 8;The sliding frame 8 is slidably connected to the slide rail 72 and has a counterweight 81 detachably fixed thereon. The up-and-down movement of the sliding frame 8 drives the counterweight 81 to achieve product pressing and releasing. The counterweight 81 uses its own gravity to press the product, ensuring the stability and consistency of the pressing effect. The mass and shape of the counterweight 81 need to be customized according to the specific product to ensure the best pressing effect. The counterweight 81 is detachably fixed to the sliding frame 8, making it easy to replace different specifications of counterweight 81 according to different products. The upper cylinder 71 is located on the other side of the upright plate 7, driving the counterweight 81 to move up and down, achieving product pressing and releasing. The stroke and speed of the upper cylinder 71 are precisely controlled by the electronic control system to ensure the stability and consistency of the pressing process. It can quickly respond to control signals, achieving rapid lifting and lowering of the counterweight 81, improving production efficiency.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the heating copper block 62 is located in the middle of the main board 61, and a side-push cylinder 63 is provided on one side of the heating copper block 62 on the main board 61. The heating copper block 62 is located in the middle of the main board 61, which can ensure that heat is evenly transferred to the entire pressing area. This uniform heating helps to activate the PSA adhesive between the small parts and the product, ensuring the stability and consistency of the pressing effect. The uniform heat distribution can avoid the difference in pressing quality caused by local overheating or undercooling, and improve the overall quality of the product. Placing the heating copper block 62 in the middle of the main board 61 helps to optimize the overall spatial layout of the equipment. This makes the equipment structure more compact, reduces unnecessary space occupation, and improves production efficiency. The central position facilitates the coordinated work with other components (such as the counterweight 81, side-push structure, etc.), ensuring the smoothness and stability of the equipment operation. The heating copper block 62 is located in the middle of the main board 61, which can more effectively utilize heat energy and reduce heat loss. This helps reduce energy consumption and improve the thermal efficiency of the equipment; efficient heat transfer can shorten heating time, improve production efficiency, and reduce operating costs; the side-push cylinder 63 is located on one side of the heating copper block 62, and can precisely clamp the product by side-push operation after the product is placed in the fixture. This clamping method can ensure that the product remains stable during the pressing process and avoids movement or deflection; precise clamping helps to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the pressing effect and improve the overall quality of the product; the side-push cylinder 63 works in conjunction with the heating copper block 62 to heat the product while it is being clamped. This parallel operation can shorten the production cycle and improve production efficiency; the rapid response and precise control of the side-push cylinder 63 helps to realize the automated operation of the equipment, reduce manual intervention, and reduce labor intensity; by adjusting the stroke and clamping force of the side-push cylinder 63, it can be adapted to products of different specifications and sizes. This flexibility allows the equipment to be widely used in the assembly process of various products, improving the versatility and market competitiveness of the equipment; the design of the side-push cylinder 63 can also be considered for quick replacement of fixtures or jigs to further adapt to the production needs of different products.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, a mounting slot 65 is provided on the other side of the heating copper block 62 on the main board 61. A photoelectric sensor is installed in the mounting slot 65, and all photoelectric sensors are commercially available components. The photoelectric sensor can detect in real time whether the product is accurately placed in the designated position of the curing device 5. Ensuring accurate product placement is the first step in the curing process. The accurate detection of the photoelectric sensor avoids pressing failure or equipment malfunction caused by improper product placement, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, a limit block 64 is provided at the upper edge of the motherboard 61; the limit block 64 is located at the upper edge of the motherboard 61, providing the robotic arm 31 with a precise reference for product picking and placing. When the robotic arm 31 places the product into the curing device 5, the limit block 64 serves as a physical positioning reference, ensuring that the product can be accurately placed in the designated position each time.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, a pressure block 86 is provided at the bottom of the counterweight 81; the pressure block 86, as the direct contact component between the counterweight 81 and the product, can evenly transfer the weight of the counterweight 81 to the surface of the product. This uniform pressure distribution ensures full contact between the product and small parts (such as the logo), thereby activating the PSA adhesive between them and achieving a stable pressing effect.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, an anti-detachment block 82 is fixed at the top of the sliding frame 8. This anti-detachment block 82 extends horizontally towards the counterweight 81 to form a limiting pressure arm. The anti-detachment block 82 assists in the precise positioning of the counterweight 81, improving the pressing quality. During the pressing process, the counterweight 81 needs to descend precisely to the designated position to ensure uniform and stable pressure is applied to the product. The limiting pressure arm, through its horizontally extended portion, provides a clear reference for the descent endpoint of the counterweight 81. When the counterweight 81 descends to contact the limiting pressure arm, it indicates that the correct position has been reached, and pressing can begin.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, a lifting ring 83 is provided at the upper end of the counterweight 81, and fixing rings 84 are provided on both sides of the lifting ring 83. The counterweight 81 is usually quite heavy, and direct handling poses a safety hazard and is inconvenient to operate. The lifting ring 83 allows operators to easily lift and move the counterweight 81 using lifting equipment. The fixing rings 84 are located on both sides of the lifting ring 83 to ensure the stability of the pressing process. The lifting ring 83 and the fixing rings 84, together with the limiting block 64, further improve the stability of the counterweight 81 during the pressing process.
[0030] like Figure 3As shown, a buffer 85 is provided on the side of the sliding frame 8 facing the upper cylinder 71, where the upper cylinder 71 is not pressing against the sliding frame 8. When the upper cylinder 71 drives the sliding frame 8 to move downward to its limit position, the buffer 85 can absorb and disperse the impact force between the sliding frame 8 and the fixed component. This impact mitigation function can prevent equipment damage caused by hard collisions and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a fixed platform 4 is installed below the curing device 5. The fixed platform 4 serves as the basic support structure of the curing device 5 and can withstand various forces generated during the curing process, including the weight of the counterweight 81, the driving force of the upper cylinder 71, and the reaction force during product pressing. Its stable design ensures that the equipment will not shake or shift due to vibration or external forces during operation.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, casters 41 are installed under the fixed platform 4, and each caster 41 has a fixed foot 42 on one side. The casters 41 have the characteristic of 360-degree rotation, allowing the equipment to move freely on a horizontal surface. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the equipment or to arrange the equipment layout, the operator can easily push the equipment without the need for lifting equipment or multiple people to work together. The fixed feet 42 are usually designed to be height adjustable. After the equipment is moved to the designated position, the operator can rotate the fixed feet 42 to make them make close contact with the ground, thereby fixing the position of the equipment. This design effectively prevents the equipment from shaking or shifting due to vibration or external forces during operation.
[0033] Working principle: The robotic arm 31 picks up the product to be cured from the feeding bracket 1 and places it on the main board 61 of the curing device 5; after the photoelectric sensor detects the product, the side-push cylinder 63 is activated, cooperating with the limit block 64 to clamp the product; the top-lifting cylinder 71 drives the counterweight block 81 to move downward, causing the adhesive pressing block 86 to press the product and the small part, with the weight acting entirely on the product and the small part. At the same time, the heating copper block 62 continues to heat and maintain pressure for a certain period of time to activate the PSA adhesive between the small part and the product; after the pressing is completed, the top-lifting cylinder 71 pushes upward, causing the counterweight block 81 to rise, and the side-push cylinder 63 opens to release the product; the robotic arm 31 picks up the cured product from the curing device 5 and places it on the discharge bracket 2.
[0034] In summary, this automatic loading and unloading stabilizing curing equipment, by using the gravity of the counterweight block 81 to press the product, replaces the traditional cylinder pressing method, completely solving the problem of unstable pressing effect caused by fluctuations in external air source pressure. The stable gravity of the counterweight block 81 ensures that the pressure acting on the product and small parts is constant during each pressing, thereby significantly improving the consistency and stability of the product pressing quality. The equipment uses a robotic arm 31 with a flange structure for picking up and placing products, completely replacing manual operation, greatly reducing the workload of employees, and improving the degree of automation in production. The robotic arm 31 can accurately and quickly complete the loading and unloading of products, improving production efficiency and saving labor costs for the company. The heating copper block 62 continuously heats and holds pressure for 20 seconds, which can effectively activate the PSA adhesive between the small parts and the product. Combined with stable pressing force, it further ensures the pressing effect and makes the product more firmly cured. The coordinated action of the side push cylinder 63 and the top push cylinder 71 realizes the precise positioning and clamping of the product, ensuring the reliability of the pressing process. The photoelectric sensor can detect the product position in real time, ensuring the coordination and accuracy of the actions of each mechanism.
