[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the utility model will be further described below.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a robotic bookmark production line workstation includes an external MES management workstation, a supporting mobile terminal, and also includes:
[0027] The robot feeding mechanism 1 achieves automated feeding through the feeding robot 12;
[0028] Robotic laser processing mechanism 3, which can remotely place orders via the Internet to automatically mark laser processing robots 30;
[0029] The robot assembly mechanism 4 uses assembly robots 41 to perform fully automated packaging and assembly.
[0030] Robotic warehousing unit 5, which achieves automated storage through warehousing robots 50;
[0031] The MES management workstation includes several sets of computers 2 set up on the workstation production line to facilitate real-time monitoring of processing progress. In conjunction with a mobile terminal, which can be a mobile app, the system can complete a complete personalized digital factory production process, from personalized ordering via the mobile app to the formation of processing technology data by the digital MES management workstation, to unmanned production on the digital production line, and remote digital monitoring via the computers 2.
[0032] Specifically, the computer 2 is equipped with a corresponding keyboard and mouse.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the robot loading mechanism 1 of this utility model includes a lifting base 10 and a conveyor belt 13, a material accumulation section 11 disposed on the lifting base 10, a lifting base 2 14 disposed at the lower end of the loading robot 12, and a machine vision camera 15 disposed on the loading robot 12. The machine vision camera 15 detects the quantity and position of the material 52. The loading robot 12 of this utility model uses the data from the machine vision camera 15 to remove the material 52 from the material accumulation section 11 and place it on the conveyor belt 13.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the robotic laser processing mechanism 3 includes a lifting base 33, a stepping shaft 32 that cooperates with the side of the lifting base 33, and a marking head 31 located at the end of the stepping shaft 32. Orders are placed remotely via the internet, and the marking head 31 automatically marks the material 52. In practical applications, the stepping shaft 32 of this invention can be driven by a stepper motor to achieve linear movement.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the lifting base 33 is equipped with a support frame 35 for supporting the step shaft 32 and a slide rail 34 mounted on the support frame 35. The step shaft 32 and the slide rail 34 engage interactively and can be replaced as needed. The lifting base 33 can be driven by a manual rotating wheel to rotate the shaft, or it can be driven by a motor to achieve height adjustment.
[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the robot assembly mechanism 4 includes an automatic feeding platform 40 and an automatic feeding platform 42 respectively arranged on both sides of the assembly robot 41, and an assembly platform 43 that cooperates with the assembly robot 41. The assembly platform 43 is provided with a flat plate part for easy assembly and a stacking frame for placing materials 52. The height of the stacking frame is higher than that of the flat plate part to limit the two degrees of freedom of the materials 52. At the same time, the transition area of the stacking frame near the flat plate part is designed with a slope structure to facilitate the movement guidance of the materials 52 during placement. In addition, the middle area of the flat plate part is provided with a countersunk hole structure and is fixed to the support column with screws. The support column is installed on the entire workstation. The countersunk hole structure design ensures the support and fixation of the flat plate part while avoiding the interference of the screw structure on the placement of the materials 52.
[0037] Specifically, in practical applications, the material stacking section 11, automatic feeding platform 1 40, and automatic feeding platform 2 42 described in this utility model are all automated feeding machines based on a well-type workpiece storage system. Furthermore, each of the automatic feeding machines has a U-shaped positioning groove at its discharge position that matches the shape of the material 52, with the opening of the U-shaped positioning groove facing the discharge port of the automatic feeding machine. This design allows for precise guidance of the discharge movement and effectively positions the endpoint of the material 52's discharge movement using the bottom edge structure of the U-shaped positioning groove. Using this structure, a large number of repetitive feeding tasks can be completed quickly and accurately, effectively controlling the production cycle, avoiding the impact of human factors on production efficiency, enabling uninterrupted operation, and maintaining the normal operation of the production line.
[0038] Furthermore, to form the U-shaped positioning groove, it can be integrally machined into the discharge position of the automated feeder, or a separate U-shaped plate can be machined and connected to the discharge position of the automated feeder using screws. The separate machining method has the advantage of facilitating the replacement of the U-shaped plate later, thus adapting to materials of different shapes and sizes (i.e., bookmarks). However, frequent and repeated discharges will cause some wear to the U-shaped positioning groove, resulting in deviations in the discharged position and affecting the subsequent precise grasping by the robot. In subsequent optimization designs, collision sensors or other contact sensors can be built into the bottom of the U-shaped positioning groove. When the material reaches the designated position, it will touch the collision sensor or other contact sensor, facilitating feedback signals. The built-in installation of collision sensors or other contact sensors also provides protection for the sensors.
[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the robotic storage mechanism 5 includes several sets of storage platforms 53 that cooperate with the storage robot 50 for placing materials 52. The several sets of storage platforms 53 of this invention can be arranged in a height gradient, which saves space and facilitates material placement by the storage robot 50, effectively avoiding motion interference. The storage robot 50 of this invention has a lateral movement track and a motor and lead screw structure to drive the movement of the storage robot 50. The storage robot 50 can move along the lateral movement track, enabling the storage of materials 52 at different locations.
[0040] Specifically, to facilitate the positioning and storage of materials, the storage platform 53 of this invention is provided with a recessed platform 51 for placing materials 52. Moreover, the size of the recessed platform 51 matches the dimensions of the materials 52, achieving effective positioning. The length of the lateral movement track for the storage robot 50 is greater than the width of the storage platform 53, thereby ensuring that the gripping range of the storage robot 50 after movement can cover the entire storage platform 53.
[0041] This utility model uses a flexible manufacturing system as a carrier. Its main features are small footprint, construction of learning and workstations, and realization of an innovative full-series intelligent manufacturing platform system. It involves richer and more comprehensive knowledge points and has a stronger systematic nature. Through learning and training on this system workstation, students can gain a comprehensive understanding and experience of the overall application of unmanned factory intelligent manufacturing.
[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
