Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts packaging technology, and particularly relates to automatic parts packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive parts refer to the components that make up the various units of a car and all consumable materials that serve the car. They are characterized by a wide variety and complex classification. After the automotive parts are manufactured and processed, they need to be packed into boxes for further packaging or transportation.

[0003] However, existing automotive parts packaging methods either involve manual packing, which is inefficient, or mechanical equipment, which is not suitable for packing strip-shaped or plate-shaped automotive parts. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to automatically and neatly place the parts into the boxes, thus reducing the efficiency of parts packaging. Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic parts packaging system. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an automatic parts packing system, which aims to solve the problem that some currently used automatic parts packing systems are inconvenient to automate and neatly pack.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: automatic parts packing includes a lower body; boxes placed at equal intervals inside the lower body, with a placement plate provided on one side of the top of the lower body; a moving component mounted on one side of the top of the lower body, the moving component being used to move the placement plate; an upper body fixedly connected to the top of the lower body, the top of the upper body being fixedly connected to a translation drive slide rail, a sliding frame slidably connected to the translation drive slide rail, a fixed frame fixedly connected to the top of the sliding frame, a lifting cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the sliding frame, the output end of the lifting cylinder passing through the sliding frame and fixedly connected to a mounting frame; and a clamping component and an adsorption component mounted at the bottom of the mounting frame, the clamping component and the adsorption component being used to achieve two methods of fixing and transferring the workpiece.

[0006] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes: transverse cylinders symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the mounting frame, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the transverse cylinders.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping plate has a C-shaped cross-section, and a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate.

[0008] Preferably, fixed sliders are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the clamping plate, and fixed sliding rods that slide in cooperation with the inner wall of the fixed sliders are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the mounting frame.

[0009] Preferably, the adsorption assembly includes: longitudinal cylinders symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the mounting frame, the output end of the longitudinal cylinders passing through the mounting frame and fixedly connected to a connecting plate; a connecting pipe symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame, the bottom end of the connecting pipe being fixedly connected to a hollow connecting rod passing through the mounting frame and the connecting plate via a telescopic flexible hose, and the bottom end of the hollow connecting rod being fixedly connected to a suction cup.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting pipe is connected to an external air compressor via a conduit, and the operation of the air compressor can generate negative pressure suction at the suction cup to adsorb the workpiece.

[0011] Preferably, the moving component includes: a first drive slide rail fixedly connected to one side of the top of the lower body, on which a sliding plate is slidably connected; and a second drive slide rail fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate, the top of the second drive slide rail being slidably connected to the bottom of the placement plate.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the back of the inner wall of the lower machine body, a translation slide rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing rod, a translation slider is slidably connected to the surface of the translation slide rod, and one end of the translation slider is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding plate.

[0013] Preferably, the two sides of the top of the placement plate are serrated.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the automatic parts packing provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] The system utilizes a moving component to move the placement plate directly beneath the sliding frame. Then, a lifting cylinder lowers the mounting frame. Depending on the specific requirements, clamping and suction components secure the strip-shaped or plate-shaped workpiece. The lifting cylinder then raises the workpiece a certain distance. The moving component moves the placement plate to another position, and the lifting cylinder lowers the mounting frame into one of the boxes, placing the workpiece down. This process is repeated to neatly and sequentially place the workpieces inside the boxes. Once one box is filled, a translational drive rail moves the sliding frame to fill other boxes. This allows for rapid and neat automatic packing of strip-shaped or plate-shaped workpieces. The lifting cylinder allows the workpiece to enter the box, preventing direct impact damage from falling workpieces. This efficient and organized packing enhances its practicality.

The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0023] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0024] A preferred embodiment of the automatic parts packing provided by this utility model is, for example... Figures 1 to 5As shown: Automatic parts packing includes a lower body 6; boxes 5 placed at equal intervals inside the lower body 6, with a placement plate 3 provided on one side of the top of the lower body 6; a moving component 4 assembled on one side of the top of the lower body 6, used to move the placement plate 3; an upper body 2 fixedly connected to the top of the lower body 6, with a translation drive slide rail 7 fixedly connected to the top of the upper body 2, a sliding frame 1 slidably connected to the translation drive slide rail 7, a fixed frame 8 fixedly connected to the top of the sliding frame 1, and a lifting cylinder 9 fixedly connected to the top of the sliding frame 1, the output end of the lifting cylinder 9 passing through the sliding frame 1 and fixedly connected to a mounting frame 15; a clamping component 10 and an adsorption component 11 assembled at the bottom of the mounting frame 15, used to achieve two methods of fixing and transferring the workpiece.

[0025] It should be noted that some existing automated parts packing systems still have certain shortcomings in actual use. Some systems use manual packing, which is inefficient. Other systems use mechanical equipment for packing, but it is difficult to simultaneously handle the packing of strip-shaped or plate-shaped automotive parts, and it is inconvenient to automatically and neatly place the parts into the boxes, which reduces the efficiency of parts packing.

[0026] In this embodiment, robotic arms and other equipment on the automotive parts production line place workpieces on the placement plate 3. Plate-shaped workpieces are placed directly at the top center of the placement plate 3, while strip-shaped workpieces are held in place by the serrated edges on both sides of the top of the placement plate 3. Then, the moving component 4 moves the placement plate 3 directly below the sliding frame 1. The lifting cylinder 9 is then activated to lower the mounting frame 15. Depending on the actual situation, the clamping component 10 and the adsorption component 11 are used to fix the strip-shaped or plate-shaped workpieces. After that, the lifting cylinder 9 is activated to raise the workpiece a certain distance. The moving component 4 then moves the placement plate 3 to another position. The lifting cylinder 9 is then activated to lower the mounting frame 15 into one of the boxes 5 and lower the workpiece. The above operation is repeated to place the workpieces neatly and sequentially inside the boxes 5. After one box 5 is filled, the sliding frame 1 is moved by the translation drive slide rail 7 to realize the filling operation of other boxes 5.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamping assembly 10 includes: a transverse cylinder 1004 symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the mounting frame 15, and a clamping plate 1001 fixedly connected to the output end of the transverse cylinder 1004.

[0028] In this embodiment, the transverse cylinder 1004 is first activated to make the clamping plate 1001 slide until the distance between them is greater than the length of the workpiece. Then, after the clamping plate 1001 descends to the workpiece, the transverse cylinder 1004 is activated in the opposite direction to make the clamping plate 1001 slide relative to each other to clamp and fix the two sides of the workpiece, thereby realizing the clamping and transfer of the strip-shaped workpiece.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamping plate 1001 has a C-shaped cross-section, and a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate 1001.

[0030] In this embodiment, a C-shaped clamping plate 1001 with rubber pads is used to facilitate flexible and firm clamping of both sides of the workpiece.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, fixed sliders 1003 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top end of the clamping plate 1001, and fixed slide rods 1002 that slide in cooperation with the inner wall of the fixed sliders 1003 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the mounting bracket 15.

[0032] In this embodiment, the smoothness of the back-and-forth sliding of the clamping plate 1001 is improved by utilizing the sliding between the fixed slider 1003 and the fixed slide rod 1002.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adsorption assembly 11 includes: longitudinal cylinders 1105 symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the top end of the mounting frame 15, the output end of the longitudinal cylinders 1105 passing through the mounting frame 15 and fixedly connected to a connecting plate 1104; a connecting pipe 1102 symmetrically fixedly connected to the top end of the mounting frame 15, the bottom end of the connecting pipe 1102 being fixedly connected to a hollow connecting rod 1103 passing through the mounting frame 15 and the connecting plate 1104 via a telescopic flexible hose, and a suction cup 1101 being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hollow connecting rod 1103.

[0034] In this embodiment, after the lifting cylinder 9 operates to lower the mounting bracket 15 to a suitable height, the longitudinal cylinder 1105 is then activated to lower the connecting plate 1104, thereby causing the bottom of the suction cup 1101 to contact the top of the workpiece. At the same time, the external air compressor is activated to generate negative pressure suction at the suction cup 1101, thereby achieving the adsorption and fixation of the plate-shaped workpiece.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connecting pipe 1102 is connected to an external air compressor through a conduit. The operation of the air compressor can generate negative pressure suction at the suction cup 1101 to adsorb the workpiece.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the moving component 4 includes: a first drive slide rail 401 fixedly connected to one side of the top end of the lower body 6, and a sliding plate 402 slidably connected on the first drive slide rail 401; and a second drive slide rail 403 fixedly connected to the top end of the sliding plate 402, with the top end of the second drive slide rail 403 slidably connected to the bottom end of the placement plate 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first drive slide rail 401 operates, allowing the sliding plate 402 to slide left and right, thereby clearing the first box 5 and facilitating the packing operation of the first box 5. At the same time, the second drive slide rail 403 is used to move the placement plate 3 back and forth, facilitating the subsequent fixing and transfer of the workpiece by the clamping assembly 10 or the adsorption assembly 11.

[0038] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a fixing rod 12 is fixedly connected to the back of the inner wall of the lower body 6, a translational slide rod 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing rod 12, a translational slider 13 is slidably connected to the surface of the translational slide rod 14, and one end of the translational slider 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding plate 402.

[0039] In this embodiment, the smoothness of the sliding plate 402 sliding back and forth is improved by utilizing the sliding of the translation slider 13 on the surface of the translation slider 14.

[0040] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the two sides of the top of the placement plate 3 are serrated.

[0041] In this embodiment, the serrated edges on both sides of the top of the placement plate 3 facilitate the snap-fit ​​placement of strip-shaped workpieces.

[0042] In summary, the moving component 4 enables the placement plate 3 to slide back and forth and left and right, facilitating the loading of workpieces. At the same time, the clamping component 10 and the adsorption component 11 enable two methods of material handling and fixing, facilitating the packing of strip-shaped and plate-shaped workpieces. Furthermore, the lifting cylinder 9 enables the workpiece to descend to a suitable depth inside the box 5, preventing the workpiece from falling directly and causing hard impact that could damage the workpiece surface.
