Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and in particular to a material platform with material identification function. Background Technology

[0002] In current technologies, material handling platforms, as key hubs connecting material transport and processing equipment, directly impact production line efficiency in modern automated manufacturing. Current material handling platforms face two major technical bottlenecks: First, using a single sensor (such as a common photoelectric sensor) for material identification can easily lead to misjudgments of location or type identification in complex scenarios such as mixed transport of multiple material types or changes in ambient light, causing subsequent processing interruptions due to incorrect material information. Second, fixed transport paths lack dynamic adjustment mechanisms, requiring manual or semi-automatic equipment for position calibration upon material arrival at the processing area. This not only extends production cycle time but also introduces errors due to human intervention, severely restricting the continuity and reliability of automated production lines.

[0003] However, existing technologies still have shortcomings, such as the following:

[0004] Existing material identification platforms generally use a single sensor. This single-sensor identification mode is prone to misjudging material location and type identification errors, and its accuracy is insufficient in complex scenarios. Consequently, fixed transmission paths require manual or semi-automatic repositioning of materials upon arrival at the processing area, causing production interruptions. This situation severely restricts the efficiency and reliability of automated production lines. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material platform with material identification function to solve the problems of misjudgment of material location or incorrect identification of type mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A material platform with material identification function includes a material conveying structure. An adjustment structure is installed at the bottom of the inner side of the material conveying structure. A moving structure is slidably connected to the inner side of the top of the material conveying structure. A machine structure is installed on the outer wall of one side of the material conveying structure. The material conveying structure includes a material platform. A measuring plate is installed on one side of the outer wall of the material platform. A monitoring camera is installed on the top of the measuring plate.

[0008] A second transmission guide rail is installed on the inner side of the middle part of the material platform, and a first transmission guide rail is installed on the outer wall of the right side of the material platform.

[0009] The machine structure includes a fixed platform, a No. 3 electric turntable is installed on the inner side of the top of the fixed platform, a robotic arm is installed on the top of the No. 3 electric turntable, and an advance guide rail is installed on the outer wall of one side of the fixed platform and on the outer wall of the No. 2 transmission guide rail.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing frame is installed on the top of the material platform, and a limit pin is threadedly connected to the inner side of the outer wall of the fixing frame, and an identification retraction rod is slidably connected to the inner side of the limit pin.

[0011] Preferably, a first identification frame is installed on the top of the identification retraction rod, a first infrared identification structure is installed on the inner side of the bottom of the first identification frame, a second identification frame is installed on one side of the outer wall of the first identification frame, and a second infrared identification structure is installed at the bottom of the second identification frame.

[0012] Preferably, the adjustment structure includes a first electric turntable, and an adjustment guide rail is fixedly sleeved at one end of the top drive of the first electric turntable, and a track groove is opened at the top of the adjustment guide rail.

[0013] Preferably, the moving structure includes an electric slide, an electric roller is installed on the inner side of the bottom of the electric slide, and a second electric turntable is installed on the top of the electric slide.

[0014] Preferably, a placement platform is installed on the top of the second electric turntable, and a limit frame is installed on both sides of the bottom of the second electric turntable.

[0015] Preferably, an electric lift is installed on the inner side of the top of the placement platform, and a lifting platform is installed on the top of the electric lift.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. By setting up infrared identification structures No. 1 and No. 2 on the fixed frame, the position of the moving structure entering the middle of the material platform and the type of material can be identified respectively. With the monitoring camera tracking the position of the moving structure in real time, and combined with the adjustment of the direction of the track groove by the No. 1 electric turntable in the adjustment structure, the moving structure can be precisely controlled to turn and enter the guide rail based on the identification data. This realizes the automated and precise control of the material from identification and positioning to the transmission path, ensuring the accurate acquisition and response of the position information and type data of the material during the transmission process.

[0018] 2. When the moving structure carrying material arrives at one side of the machine structure, the electric lift raises the material to a position where the robotic arm can grip it. The robotic arm, in conjunction with the No. 3 electric turntable, adjusts its direction to complete the material grabbing. Then, by rotating the robotic arm, the material is transported to the target equipment for auxiliary processing. In this process, the material transfer structure, adjustment structure, moving structure, and machine structure work together to form a continuous process from material transportation and height adjustment to robotic arm processing, significantly improving the automation efficiency and equipment linkage of material processing.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1-4As shown, a material platform with material identification function includes a material conveying structure 1, and an adjustment structure 2 is installed on the bottom of the inner side of the material conveying structure 1. The direction of the moving structure 3 is adjusted by the adjustment structure 2. The moving structure 3 is slidably connected to the inner side of the top of the material conveying structure 1. The moving structure 3 slides on the inner side of the track groove 23. A machine structure 4 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the material conveying structure 1. The machine structure 4 works in cooperation. The material conveying structure 1 includes a material platform 11, and a measuring plate 13 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the material platform 11. A monitoring camera 131 is installed on the top of the measuring plate 13, so that the monitoring camera 131 can monitor which position the moving structure 3 carries the material to.

[0026] A second transmission guide rail 14 is installed on the inner side of the middle of the material platform 11. The material of the moving structure 3 is transported to the inner side of the entry guide rail 44 through the second transmission guide rail 14. A first transmission guide rail 12 is installed on the outer wall of the right side of the material platform 11 for the moving structure 3 to enter the inner side of the middle of the material platform 11 from the top inner side of the first transmission guide rail 12.

[0027] The machine structure 4 includes a fixed platform 41, and a No. 3 electric turntable 43 is installed on the inner side of the top of the fixed platform 41. The direction of the robot arm 42 is adjusted by the No. 3 electric turntable 43. The robot arm 42 is installed on the top of the No. 3 electric turntable 43 for auxiliary processing. An advance guide rail 44 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the fixed platform 41 and on the outer wall of the No. 2 transmission guide rail 14, so that the moving structure 3 can enter it and the robot arm 42 can clamp the material.

[0028] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the moving structure 3 moves to the side of the machine structure 4, the electric lifting platform 36 is started, and the lifting platform 37 is raised by the electric lifting platform 36, thereby raising the material to the lower surface of the robot arm 42. The robot arm 42 is started to clamp the material, and then the No. 3 electric turntable 43 is started to drive the robot arm 42 to rotate, thereby rotating the robot arm 42 to other equipment for auxiliary processing.

[0029] A fixed frame 15 is installed on the top of the material platform 11, and a limit pin 151 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the outer wall of the fixed frame 15 for adjusting the position of the identification retraction rod 154. The identification retraction rod 154 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limit pin 151, thereby adjusting the height of the first infrared identification structure 153 and the second infrared identification structure 156. A first identification frame 152 is installed on the top of the identification retraction rod 154 for installing the first infrared identification structure 153. A first infrared identification structure 153 is installed on the inner side of the bottom of the first identification frame 152 for monitoring the position of the moving structure 3 when it moves into the inner middle of the material platform 11. A second identification frame 155 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the first identification frame 152 for installing the second infrared identification structure 156. A second infrared identification structure 156 is installed on the bottom of the second identification frame 155. The material is identified and recorded through the second infrared identification structure 156.

[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when placing materials, the moving structure 3 passes through the bottom of the first infrared recognition structure 153, and the first infrared recognition structure 153 recognizes the moving structure 3 and detects that the moving structure 3 has entered the inner side of the middle of the material platform 11, so that the materials can be placed on the top of the lifting platform 37. Then, the second infrared recognition structure 156 at the bottom of the second recognition frame 155 is used to identify the type of materials. When the moving structure 3 slides into the inspection range of the monitoring camera 131, the first electric turntable 21 in the bottom inner side of the second transmission guide rail 14 is activated according to the recognition data of the second infrared recognition structure 156, which drives the moving structure 3 to adjust its direction to the advance guide rail 44.

[0031] The adjustment structure 2 includes a first electric turntable 21, with an adjustment guide rail 22 fixedly sleeved at the top drive end of the first electric turntable 21, facilitating the adjustment of the direction of the adjustment guide rail 22 via the first electric turntable 21. The top of the adjustment guide rail 22 has a track groove 23, facilitating the movement structure 3 to enter the inner side of the track groove 23 for direction adjustment or sliding. The movement structure 3 includes an electric slide plate 31, with an electric roller 32 installed on the inner side of the bottom of the electric slide plate 31. The electric slide plate 31 is driven by power to slide inside the track groove 23. A second electric turntable 33 is installed on the top of the electric slide plate 31 for adjusting the direction of the placement platform 34. The placement platform 34 is installed on the top of the second electric turntable 33 for limiting material storage. Limiting frames 35 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the second electric turntable 33 to provide support for both sides of the placement platform 34. An electric lift 36 is installed on the inner side of the top of the placement platform 34 to raise the material height. A lifting platform 37 is installed on the top of the electric lift 36 for placing materials.

[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the No. 1 electric turntable 21 on the inner side of the middle of the animal material platform 11 is activated to drive the track groove 23 to adjust its direction, thereby adjusting the position of the placement platform 34. Then, the electric roller 32 is activated to drive the electric slide plate 31 to slide on the inner side of the top of the No. 2 transmission guide rail 14.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When placing materials, the moving structure 3 passes through the bottom of the first infrared identification structure 153. The first infrared identification structure 153 identifies the moving structure 3 and detects that the moving structure 3 enters the inner side of the middle of the material platform 11. Thus, the materials can be placed on the top of the lifting platform 37. Then, the second infrared identification structure 156 at the bottom of the second identification frame 155 identifies the type of materials. The first electric turntable 21 on the inner side of the middle of the material platform 11 is activated. The first electric turntable 21 drives the track groove 23 to adjust its direction, thereby adjusting the position of the placement platform 34. Then, the electric roller 32 is activated to drive the electric slide plate 31 to slide on the inner side of the top of the second transmission guide rail 14.

[0034] When the moving structure 3 slides into the inspection range of the monitoring camera 131, the first electric turntable 21 at the bottom of the inner side of the second transmission guide rail 14 is activated according to the identification data of the second infrared recognition structure 156. This drives the moving structure 3 to adjust its direction to the feed guide rail 44, so that the moving structure 3 carries the material into the inner side of the top of the feed guide rail 44. When the moving structure 3 moves to the side of the machine structure 4, the electric lifting platform 36 is activated to lift the lifting platform 37, thereby raising the material to the lower surface of the robot arm 42. The robot arm 42 is then activated to clamp the material, and then the third electric turntable 43 is activated to drive the robot arm 42 to rotate, thereby rotating the robot arm 42 to another device for auxiliary processing.

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 illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
