Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to a dual-material switching fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, material handling is the process of transferring raw materials, semi-finished products, or finished products from one location to another, and it is widely used in manufacturing, mining, agriculture, and logistics. Its main methods include mechanical conveying (such as belt conveyors, chain conveyors, screw conveyors, and pneumatic conveyors), manual conveying, and automated conveying.

[0003] Chinese patent CN119079413A discloses a feeding vibratory feeder. Addressing the problem of easy blockage at the feed inlet of existing vibratory feeders, which hinders material feeding, the patent incorporates a combination of an elastic plate, a movable groove, and a spring at the bottom of the vibratory feeder. This allows the vibratory feeder and the base of the vibrating mechanism to be connected via an elastic connection structure with adjustable length. When the weight of the fed material varies, the gravity of the material causes the vibratory feeder to move up and down. By changing the length of the elastic plate within the movable groove, the length of the elastically deformable section of the plate can be adjusted, thereby changing the elasticity of the plate and the degree of twisting and swaying of the vibratory feeder. This adapts to the feeding needs of materials of different weights, improving the versatility of the feeding vibratory feeder for materials of varying weights. Even for heavier materials, it can produce sufficient feeding and conveying effects, effectively preventing material jamming on the conveyor track within the vibratory feeder.

[0004] In related technologies, when conveying materials, the vibratory feeder vibrates to cause the materials to be conveyed. When the materials are conveyed to the designated position, the robotic arm will pick up the materials at the corresponding position. When it is necessary to change to different materials, the original materials in the vibratory feeder need to be emptied, and then the materials to be conveyed are added to the vibratory feeder.

[0005] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that each material change requires stopping the production line, emptying the original materials, and refilling them, leading to production interruptions. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a dual-material switching fixture, which solves the technical problem that production line needs to be stopped, the original material emptied and refilled every time the material is changed, resulting in production interruption.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A dual-material switching fixture includes: a frame for supporting the switching fixture; two vibratory feeders mounted on the frame; two conveyor tracks mounted on the frame, each corresponding to a vibratory feeder; and a switching assembly mounted on the frame between the two conveyor tracks for switching between different vibratory feeders.

[0009] Furthermore, the switching component includes a slider that is slidably mounted on the frame. The slider has a storage slot, and the frame is equipped with a sliding cylinder, one end of which is connected to the slider.

[0010] Furthermore, a support block is provided on one side of the slider relative to the conveying track, and a support spring is provided between the support block and the slider, with the support spring pressing against the support block and the slider.

[0011] Furthermore, a clamping block is provided on one side of the slider adjacent to the support block, and a clamping spring is provided between the clamping block and the slider, with the clamping spring pressing against the clamping block and the slider.

[0012] Furthermore, a drive cylinder is provided on the slider, with one end of the piston rod of the drive cylinder facing the side close to the clamping block.

[0013] Furthermore, a positioning block is provided on the frame, a positioning sensor is provided on the slider, and a positioning rod is provided on the positioning sensor, with one end of the positioning rod facing the side close to the positioning block.

[0014] Furthermore, a limiting plate is formed on the side of the slider near the conveying track, and the limiting plate covers one end of the conveying track.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least the following beneficial technical effects of the dual-material switching tooling:

[0016] In use, different materials are placed in two vibrating plates. As the vibrating plates vibrate, the materials are conveyed through the conveyor track. During the conveying process, the switching component switches the feeding of different vibrating plates, so that different materials can be conveyed. This eliminates the need to stop the production line, empty the original materials and refill them every time the materials are changed, preventing material production interruption and improving material production efficiency.

[0017] By setting up support blocks and clamping blocks, the accuracy of placing materials in the storage slot of the slider is improved;

[0018] By using a sliding cylinder and a drive cylinder, the slider's ability to transport materials is improved. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0025] This application discloses a dual-material switching fixture.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 The dual-material switching fixture includes a frame 1, on which two vibratory feeders 11 are arranged at intervals, each containing a different material. A conveyor track 12 is provided on the frame 1, corresponding to the vibratory feeders 11. A switching component 2 is located between the two conveyor tracks 12 on the frame 1, allowing for switching between the different conveyor tracks 12.

[0027] Two vibratory feeders 11 are spaced apart on the frame 1, and the two vibratory feeders 11 store different materials. Conveying tracks 12 are arranged in parallel space on the frame 1, and one end of each conveying track 12 is connected to the vibratory feeder 11. As the vibratory feeder 11 vibrates, the material in the vibratory feeder 11 is conveyed to the side away from the vibratory feeder 11 through the conveying track 12.

[0028] Reference Figure 1A fixed conveying position 13 is formed between the two conveying tracks 12. During use, the robotic arm moves to the conveying position 13 to grasp the material. Furthermore, two sets of switching components 2 are spaced apart on the frame 1. These two sets of switching components 2 correspond to the conveying tracks 12. When a specific material needs to be conveyed, the corresponding switching component 2 conveys the material being transported by the conveying track 12 to the conveying position 13. The two sets of switching components 2 have the same structure and function; only one set of switching components 2 will be described below.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 The switching component 2 includes a slider 21, which is slidably mounted on the frame 1. The slider 21 has a storage slot 211, which is open on the side facing the conveyor track 12. When the storage slot 211 on the slider 21 slides to communicate with the conveyor track 12, the material in the conveyor track 12 enters the storage slot 211 of the slider 21. After the material enters the storage slot 211 of the slider 21, the slider 21 slides to a side perpendicular to the conveyor track 12.

[0030] A limiting plate 22 is provided on the side of the slider 21 near the conveying track 12, and the limiting plate 22 covers one end of the conveying track 12. When the slider 21 slides away from the conveying track 12, the limiting plate 22 limits other materials in the conveying track 12 to prevent other materials from falling out of the conveying track 12 under the action of the vibrating plate 11. Only when the storage groove 211 on the slider 21 is connected to the conveying track 12 will the material enter the storage groove 211 from the conveying track 12.

[0031] In order to enable the slider 21 to slide on the frame 1, a sliding cylinder 23 is provided on the frame 1. The sliding cylinder 23 is mounted on the frame 1, and one end of the piston rod of the sliding cylinder 23 is connected to the slider 21. In use, the sliding cylinder 23 drives the slider 21 to slide on the frame 1, thereby improving the convenience of the slider 21 sliding between the conveying position 13 and the conveying track 12.

[0032] To improve the accuracy of material positioning on slider 21, a support block 24 is provided on slider 21. The support block 24 is positioned opposite to the conveying track 12, and a support spring 241 is provided between the support block 24 and slider 21, with the support spring 241 pressing against the support block 24 and slider 21. A clamping block 25 is provided on the side of slider 21 adjacent to the support block 24, and a clamping spring 251 is provided between the clamping block 25 and slider 21, with the clamping spring 251 pressing against the slider 21 and clamping block 25.

[0033] A drive cylinder 26 is installed on the slider 21, with one end of the piston rod extending towards the clamping block 25. In use, the drive cylinder 26 pushes the clamping block 25 away from the storage groove 211. At this time, the clamping spring 251 is compressed. When the material enters the storage groove 211, the piston rod of the drive cylinder 26 retracts, and the clamping block 25 clamps the material under the action of the clamping spring 251.

[0034] A positioning block 27 is provided on the frame 1, and a positioning sensor 271 is installed on the slider 21. The positioning sensor 271 is connected to the sliding cylinder 23, and a positioning rod 272 is provided on the positioning sensor 271, with the positioning rod 272 facing the side closer to the positioning block 27. During the sliding of the slider 21 towards the conveying position 13, if the positioning rod 272 on the positioning sensor 271 contacts the positioning block 27, the sliding cylinder 23 stops driving the slider 21 to slide on the frame 1, thereby improving the accuracy of the slider 21's sliding position on the frame 1.

[0035] In use, the two vibratory feeders 11 convey different types of materials to the conveying track 12. When a certain material is needed, the sliding cylinder 23 drives the slider 21 to move, so that the placement slot 211 on the slider 21 is connected to the conveying track 12. After the material enters the placement slot 211, the support block 24 and the clamping block 25 position the material in the placement slot 211. Then, the slider 21 moves to the conveying position 13 under the drive of the sliding cylinder 23. The switching between two materials is realized through the two sets of sliders 21, eliminating the need to empty the original material when conveying other materials.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
