Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automation technology, and specifically relates to a flexible feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional feeding mechanisms typically employ single linear or rotary motion, requiring multiple transfers of materials to complete the conveying, pressing, and transfer processes. This results in long cycle times and low efficiency in process integration. Material shifts during transfer are prone to occur due to mechanical backlash or vibration, failing to meet the demands of precision assembly such as chip packaging, leading to insufficient positioning accuracy. Fixed feeding paths are ill-suited for multi-variety, multi-station production needs, resulting in time-consuming changeovers and poor flexibility. Specifically, traditional linear feeding mechanisms generally use conveyor belts or cylinders to propel materials linearly, with an end-effector grasping and transferring them. This introduces additional time costs for the end-effector grasping action, and the robot arm is prone to damaging fragile materials. Existing mechanisms using rotary platforms for indexing and positioning for station switching require strict synchronization of rotation and pressing actions, leading to high control complexity. Fixed rotation angles per cycle prevent flexible adaptation to asymmetrical layouts. Hybrid motion mechanisms combining linear and rotary modules are prone to cumulative errors due to multi-axis coordinated motion, resulting in bulky mechanical structures and high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the primary objective of this utility model is to provide a flexible feeding mechanism that solves the technical problems of poor positioning accuracy and low feeding efficiency in current feeding mechanisms.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] This utility model provides a flexible feeding mechanism, including a front and rear feeding structure and a rotating receiving structure; wherein...

[0006] The front and rear feeding structures are used to provide materials to the rotating receiving structure at the first pressing position;

[0007] The rotating receiving structure is used to press the material down at the first pressing position and to drive the material to transfer from the first rotating position to the second rotating position.

[0008] This flexible feeding mechanism adopts a modular design with front and rear feeding structures and a rotating receiving structure. Through the coordinated operation of the front and rear feeding structures and the rotating receiving structure, the entire process of material receiving, positioning and transfer is automated. The front and rear feeding structures realize linear transfer, and the rotating receiving structure realizes rotational separation, realizing the decoupling design of process actions, avoiding motion interference, and is suitable for high-cycle production scenarios.

[0009] Furthermore, the front and rear feeding structures include:

[0010] The material transfer assembly is equipped with multiple material receiving ports;

[0011] The material transfer component is slidably disposed relative to the rotating material receiving structure, and the material receiving port is used to receive the material and to transfer the material to the first pressing position.

[0012] The material transfer assembly has multiple receiving ports, supporting the parallel processing of multiple materials, which improves efficiency compared to a single-channel assembly. The sliding docking design of the material transfer assembly relative to the rotating receiving structure dynamically matches the position of the rotating receiving structure, ensuring high positioning accuracy.

[0013] Furthermore, the front and rear feeding structure also includes:

[0014] A dispensing block is located on the side of the material transfer assembly away from the rotating receiving structure, and has multiple dispensing ports for discharging materials; the dispensing ports pass through the dispensing block; the dispensing ports are arranged one-to-one with the receiving ports;

[0015] When the material transfer component is disposed within the material dispensing block, the receiving port and the dispensing port are vertically aligned one-to-one.

[0016] The vertical alignment of the dispensing port and receiving port ensures minimal material transfer error; the dispensing block has multiple dispensing ports, enabling modular dispensing and supporting specification switching in a short time.

[0017] Furthermore, the front and rear feeding structure also includes:

[0018] A first mounting plate is provided with a first guide groove and a clearance groove. The first guide groove is formed by recessing from the upper surface of the first mounting plate toward the interior of the first mounting plate, and the clearance groove passes through the first mounting plate and is connected to the first guide groove.

[0019] The ingredient block is disposed on the first mounting plate, and the material transfer component is slidably fitted between the first guide groove and the ingredient block;

[0020] When the receiving port is aligned with the clearance groove, the receiving port is in the first pressing position.

[0021] Furthermore, the transfer assembly includes:

[0022] A sliding plate is slidably fitted within the first guide groove;

[0023] The receiving block, mating block, and connecting block are sequentially spaced apart on the sliding plate; wherein,

[0024] The receiving block is used to slide with the dispensing block. The receiving port is provided inside the receiving block. The receiving port is formed by a recess on the side surface of the receiving block near the dispensing block toward the inside of the receiving block. The receiving port passes through the receiving block and the sliding plate.

[0025] The mating block is disposed on the side of the dispensing block away from the clearance groove, and is used to dock with the dispensing block so that the receiving block can be limited to move between the dispensing block and the clearance groove within the first guide groove.

[0026] The sliding plate's freedom is constrained by the first guide groove on the first mounting plate. The alignment of the clearance groove with the receiving port limits the first pressing position, achieving mechanical station triggering. The contact limit between the mating block and the feeding block creates a hard limit on the sliding stroke of both the sliding plate and the receiving block, thus achieving triple positioning protection. By replacing the feeding block and the receiving block, materials with a wider thickness range can be processed, achieving multi-material compatibility.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotating receiving structure includes:

[0028] The first pressing component is located on the side of the material transfer assembly away from the first mounting plate, and is configured to correspond one-to-one with the material receiving port;

[0029] The second pressing member is disposed on the side of the clearance groove away from the first pressing member;

[0030] When the material in the receiving port is located at the first pressing position and the second pressing member is located at the first rotating position, the first pressing member is used to press the material in the receiving port toward the second pressing member until the first pressing member and the second pressing member are connected, and the material is transferred to the second pressing member;

[0031] The second pressing element is used to transfer the material from the first rotational position to the second rotational position.

[0032] By setting the first pressing component to correspond one-to-one with the receiving port of the receiving block, the first pressing component is used to vertically press the material in the receiving port down to the clearance groove and then transfer it to the second pressing component, avoiding skewing; multiple first pressing components can operate simultaneously, supporting parallel processing of multiple materials and improving efficiency. Through the mechanical linkage between the receiving port and the clearance groove, the material arrival status can be detected in real time.

[0033] When the second pressing component is in the first rotating position, it receives material from the first pressing component. When the second pressing component is in the second rotating position, it presses the material onto the wire, thus enabling a continuous action from receiving to assembly. Furthermore, by having the first pressing component pass through the material in the receiving port and the clearance groove before directly engaging with the second pressing component, secondary material offset is ensured, improving the assembly accuracy between the material and the wire. Therefore, through the separate design of the first and second pressing components, the first pressing component allows for controllable material pressing speed, while the second pressing component allows for adjustable material rotation position, thereby realizing the material receiving, pressing, rotating, and pressing operations.

[0034] Furthermore, the rotating receiving structure also includes:

[0035] A rotating table, wherein the second pressing member is disposed on the rotating table, and when the rotating table rotates, the second pressing member is located between the first rotation position and the second rotation position.

[0036] The integrated design between the rotary table and the second pressing component supports multi-angle programmable rotation of the second pressing component. The rotary table drives the rotation of the second pressing component, simplifying the multi-station transfer structure and improving reliability.

[0037] Furthermore, the rotating receiving structure also includes:

[0038] The third mounting plate is disposed on the side of the first mounting plate away from the first pressing member;

[0039] The second upright plate is disposed between the third mounting plate and the first mounting plate;

[0040] A fourth mounting plate is disposed on the side of the third mounting plate away from the first mounting plate; wherein,

[0041] The second upright plate is provided with a U-shaped groove, and the rotating table is provided with a U-shaped plate. The U-shaped plate is slidably fitted in the U-shaped groove so that the rotating table drives the second pressing member to rotate between the first rotating position and the second rotating position.

[0042] The overall positioning error is reduced through the dual constraint of the first guide groove and the U-shaped groove. The U-shaped groove, as a key moving component, is coated with a wear-resistant coating to increase its service life.

[0043] Furthermore, the front and rear feeding structure also includes:

[0044] The second driving component is connected to the material transfer component and is used to drive the material transfer component to slide between the dispensing block and the first guide groove, and to drive the receiving port to the first pressing position so that the receiving port and the first pressing member are vertically aligned.

[0045] Furthermore, the rotating receiving structure also includes:

[0046] A third driving component is connected to the first pressing member and is used to drive the first pressing member to press the material to the second pressing member at the first pressing position;

[0047] The fourth drive component is disposed on the fourth mounting plate and connected to the third mounting plate. It is used to drive the third mounting plate to move back and forth. When the U-shaped plate abuts against the U-shaped groove, the U-shaped plate rotates in the U-shaped groove so that the rotating table drives the second pressing member to rotate between the first rotation position and the second rotation position.

[0048] The fifth drive component is connected to the rotary table and is used to drive the rotary table to move back and forth.

[0049] The second drive component controls the sliding of the material transfer component, precisely positioning the material within the transfer block to the first pressing position. The third drive component drives the first pressing element, ensuring consistent downward pressure on the material in the material inlet. The fourth drive component controls the angle of the rotary table, and the fifth drive component controls its displacement, achieving a combined action of material rotation driven by the second pressing element and axial material propulsion. The coordinated operation of these five drive components reduces manual adjustments, making it suitable for mass production. The rotary table, in conjunction with the fourth and fifth drive components, ensures that angular deviations during rotation are minimized to a reasonable range.

[0050] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: A flexible feeding mechanism includes a front and rear feeding structure and a rotating receiving structure; wherein, the front and rear feeding structure is used to provide material to the rotating receiving structure at a first pressing position; the rotating receiving structure is used to press the material down at the first pressing position and to drive the material from the first rotating position to the second rotating position. This flexible feeding mechanism adopts a modular design with the front and rear feeding structure and the rotating receiving structure separated. Through the collaborative operation of the front and rear feeding structure and the rotating receiving structure, the entire process of material receiving, positioning, and transfer is automated; linear conveying is achieved through the front and rear feeding structure, and rotational separation is achieved through the rotating receiving structure, realizing a decoupling design of process actions, avoiding motion interference, and suitable for high-cycle production scenarios. Therefore, this flexible feeding mechanism, through the combined design of the front and rear feeding structure and the rotating receiving structure, solves the contradiction of incompatibility between efficiency, precision, and flexibility in traditional technologies, and is especially suitable for high-end fields such as precision manufacturing and medical equipment. The modular design reserves expansion space for subsequent intelligent upgrades. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0058] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0059] See Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a flexible feeding mechanism, including: a front and rear feeding structure and a rotating receiving structure; wherein, the front and rear feeding structure is used to provide material to the rotating receiving structure at a first pressing position; the rotating receiving structure is used to press the material down at the first pressing position and to drive the material to transfer from the first rotating position to the second rotating position.

[0060] This flexible feeding mechanism adopts a modular design with front and rear feeding structures and a rotating receiving structure. Through the coordinated operation of the front and rear feeding structures and the rotating receiving structure, the entire process of material receiving, positioning and transfer is automated. The front and rear feeding structures realize linear transfer, and the rotating receiving structure realizes rotational separation, realizing the decoupling design of process actions, avoiding motion interference, and is suitable for high-cycle production scenarios.

[0061] Furthermore, the front and rear feeding structure includes a material transfer component 23 with multiple receiving ports 231. The material transfer component 23 is slidably arranged relative to the rotating receiving structure, and the receiving ports 231 are used to receive materials and transfer them to the first pressing position. The multiple receiving ports 231 on the material transfer component 23 support parallel processing of multiple materials, improving efficiency compared to a single channel. The sliding docking design of the material transfer component 23 relative to the rotating receiving structure dynamically matches the position of the rotating receiving structure, resulting in high positioning accuracy.

[0062] Furthermore, the front and rear feeding structure also includes: a batching block 22, located on the side of the transfer component 23 away from the rotating receiving structure, with multiple batching ports for outputting materials; the batching ports pass through the batching block 22; the batching ports and receiving ports 231 are arranged one-to-one; when the transfer component 23 is configured within the batching block 22, the receiving ports 231 and the batching ports are vertically aligned. The vertical alignment of the batching ports and receiving ports 231 ensures minimal material transfer error; the multiple batching ports on the batching block 22 enable modular batching, supporting rapid specification switching.

[0063] Furthermore, the front and rear feeding structure also includes: a first mounting plate 25, which is provided with a first guide groove 26 and a clearance groove 27. The first guide groove 26 is formed by recessing from the upper surface of the first mounting plate 25 toward the interior of the first mounting plate 25, and the clearance groove 27 passes through the first mounting plate 25 and connects to the first guide groove 26; a feeding block 22 is disposed on the first mounting plate 25, and a material transfer component 23 is slidably engaged between the first guide groove 26 and the feeding block 22; when the receiving port 231 is aligned with the clearance groove 27, the receiving port 231 is in the first pressing position.

[0064] The material dispensing block 22 is fixed to the first mounting plate 25, and the material transfer component 23 is slidably fitted in the first guide groove 26 of the first mounting plate 25. The first guide groove 26 constrains the sliding trajectory of the material transfer component 23 and prevents misalignment between the receiving port 231 of the material transfer component 23 and the dispensing port of the material dispensing block 22. The clearance groove 27 provides a channel for the material to be pressed down to the rotating receiving structure and reduces interference.

[0065] Further, the material transfer assembly 23 includes: a sliding plate 232, which is slidably fitted within the first guide groove 26; a receiving block 233, a mating block 234, and a connecting block 235 sequentially spaced within the sliding plate 232; wherein, the receiving block 233 is used to slidably fit with the dispensing block 22, and a receiving port 231 is disposed within the receiving block 233, with the receiving port 231 recessed from the surface of the receiving block 233 near the dispensing block 22 toward the interior of the receiving block 233, and the receiving port 231 penetrating through the receiving block 233 and the sliding plate 232; the mating block 234 is disposed on the side of the dispensing block 22 away from the clearance groove 27, and is used to mate with the dispensing block 234, so that the receiving block 233 is limited to move between the dispensing block 22 and the clearance groove 27 within the first guide groove 26.

[0066] The receiving block 233, mating block 234, and connecting block 235 are sequentially and spaced apart on the sliding plate 232. The receiving block 233 is movable relative to the dispensing block 22 to receive and transport materials to the first pressing position. The mating block 234 limits the sliding range of the receiving block 233, and the connecting block 235 drives the sliding plate 232 to move within the first guide groove 26. The division of labor is clear. The receiving port 231 of the receiving block 233 passes through both the receiving block 233 and the sliding plate 232, ensuring that the material can be smoothly pressed down within the receiving port 231 and avoiding jamming. The first guide groove 26 restricts the degree of freedom of the sliding plate 232 on the first mounting plate 25. The alignment of the clearance groove 27 with the receiving port 231 limits the first pressing position to achieve mechanical station triggering. The abutment limit between the mating block 234 and the dispensing block 22 forms a hard limit on the sliding stroke of the sliding plate 232 and the receiving block 233, thereby achieving triple positioning protection.

[0067] Furthermore, the front and rear feeding structure also includes a second drive assembly 24, comprising a second cylinder 241 and a second push rod 242. The second cylinder 241 is disposed on the first mounting plate 25, and the second push rod 242 is connected between the second cylinder 241 and the connecting block 235 of the material transfer assembly 23. The second cylinder 241 drives the second push rod 242 to move the sliding plate 232 of the material transfer assembly 23 within the first guide groove 26. By controlling the sliding of the material transfer assembly 23 through the second drive assembly 24, the material can be accurately positioned to the first pressing position.

[0068] Furthermore, the rotating receiving structure also includes: a first pressing member 31, disposed on the side of the material transfer assembly 23 away from the first mounting plate 25, corresponding one-to-one with the receiving port 231; a second pressing member 41, disposed on the side of the clearance groove 27 away from the first pressing member 31; when the material in the receiving port 231 is in the first pressing position and the second pressing member 41 is in the first rotating position, the first pressing member 31 is used to press the material in the receiving port 231 toward the second pressing member 41 until the first pressing member 31 and the second pressing member 41 are connected, and the material is transferred to the second pressing member 41; the second pressing member 41 is used to transfer the material from the first rotating position to the second rotating position.

[0069] By setting the first pressing member 31 in a one-to-one correspondence with the receiving port 231 of the receiving block 233, the first pressing member 31 is used to vertically press the material in the receiving port 231 down to the clearance groove 27 and then transfer it to the second pressing member 41, avoiding skewing; multiple first pressing members 31 can operate simultaneously, supporting parallel processing of multiple materials and improving efficiency. When the second pressing member 41 is in the first rotation position, it is used to receive the material from the first pressing member 31; when the second pressing member 41 is in the second rotation position, it is used to press and fit the material with the wire 2, thus enabling the second pressing member 41 to achieve a continuous action from receiving to assembly. Furthermore, by having the first pressing member 31 pass through the material in the receiving port 231 and the clearance groove 27 before directly engaging with the second pressing member 41, it ensures that the material does not shift secondary, improving the assembly accuracy between the material and the wire 2. Thus, through the separate design of the first pressing member 31 and the second pressing member 41, the first pressing member 31 enables controllable pressing speed of the material, and the second pressing member 41 enables adjustable rotation position of the material, thereby realizing the material receiving, pressing, rotation, and pressing operations. Therefore, when the second pressing member 41 is in the first rotation position, it is used to receive the material from the first pressing member 31; when the second pressing member 41 is in the second rotation position, it is used to assemble the material with the wire 2, realizing a series of processes from material transfer, pressing, rotation, and assembly with the wire 2.

[0070] Furthermore, the rotary receiving structure also includes a third drive assembly 32, connected to the first pressing member 31, for driving the first pressing member 31 to press the material to the second transfer mechanism. The third drive assembly 32 drives the first pressing member 31, ensuring that the downward pressure of the first pressing member 31 on the material in the receiving port 231 is consistent.

[0071] Furthermore, the third drive assembly 32 is mounted on the first mounting plate 25. The third drive assembly 32 includes a third cylinder 321, a third push rod 322, and a third slider 323. The first cylinder 321 is disposed on the first mounting plate 25, the third push rod 322 is disposed between the first cylinder 321 and the third slider 323, and the first pressing member 31 is mounted on the side of the third slider 323 facing the first mounting plate 25. The third cylinder 321, the third push rod 322, and the third slider 323 are disposed on the same side of the first mounting plate 25.

[0072] Furthermore, the rotating receiving structure also includes a rotary table 42, with a second pressing member 41 disposed on the rotary table 42. When the rotary table 42 rotates, the second pressing member 41 is located between a first rotation position and a second rotation position. Through the integrated design between the rotary table 42 and the second pressing member 41, multi-angle programmable rotation of the second pressing member 41 is supported. The rotation of the second pressing member 41 by the rotary table 42 simplifies the multi-station transfer structure and improves reliability.

[0073] Furthermore, the rotating receiving structure also includes: a third mounting plate 45, disposed on the side of the first mounting plate 25 away from the first pressing member 31; a second upright plate 46, disposed between the third mounting plate 45 and the first mounting plate 25; and a fourth mounting plate 47, disposed on the side of the third mounting plate 45 away from the first mounting plate 25. The second upright plate 46 is provided with a U-shaped groove 461, and the rotating table 42 is provided with a U-shaped plate 421. The U-shaped plate 421 is slidably fitted in the U-shaped groove 461 so that the rotating table 42 drives the second pressing member 41 to rotate between the first rotating position and the second rotating position.

[0074] Furthermore, the rotating receiving structure also includes: a fourth drive assembly 43, disposed on the fourth mounting plate 47 and connected to the third mounting plate 45, for driving the third mounting plate 45 to move back and forth. When the U-shaped plate 421 abuts against the U-shaped groove 461, the U-shaped plate 421 rotates within the U-shaped groove 461, so that the rotating table 42 drives the second pressing member 41 to rotate between the first rotation position and the second rotation position; and a fifth drive assembly 44, connected to the rotating table 42, for driving the rotating table 42 to move back and forth. The angle of the rotating table 42 is controlled by the fourth drive assembly 43, and the displacement of the rotating table 42 is controlled by the fifth drive assembly 44, realizing the combined action of the second pressing member 41 driving the material to rotate and the material to move axially. Through the coordinated work of the second drive assembly 24, the third drive assembly 32, the fourth drive assembly 43, and the fifth drive assembly 44, manual adjustment is reduced, making it suitable for mass production.

[0075] Furthermore, the fifth drive assembly 44 includes a fifth cylinder 441 and a fifth push rod 442. The fifth cylinder 441 is fixedly mounted on the third mounting plate 45, and the fifth push rod 442 connects the fifth cylinder 441 and the rotary table 42, used to drive the rotary table 42 to move back and forth. The third mounting plate 45 serves as a mounting base for the fifth drive assembly 44, enhancing system integration. Controllable axial pressure is achieved through the fifth cylinder 441 or the fifth push rod 442, adapting to the assembly requirements of different materials, such as light pressure for soft sleeves and heavy pressure for metal rings.

[0076] Furthermore, the fourth mounting plate 47 extends laterally and is disposed on the side of the third mounting plate 45 away from the first mounting plate 25; the second upright plate 46 is provided with a U-shaped groove 461; the bottom of the rotating platform 42 is provided with a U-shaped plate 421; the fourth drive assembly 43 is mounted on the fourth mounting plate 47, and the output end of the fourth drive assembly 43 is connected to the third mounting plate 45 for driving the third mounting plate 45 to move back and forth, that is, for driving the third mounting plate 45 to drive the rotating platform 42 to move back and forth, and the rotating platform 42 slides inside the U-shaped groove 461; when the U-shaped plate 421 of the rotating platform 42 moves to abut against the U-shaped groove 461, the U-shaped groove 461 forms a reaction force on the rotating platform 42, so that the rotating platform 42 rotates in the U-shaped groove 461, so that the rotating platform 42 drives the second pressing member 41 to rotate between the first rotation position and the second rotation position.

[0077] The fourth drive assembly 43 drives the rotary table 42 to move the second pressing member 41 to the first rotating position to receive the material from the first pressing member 31, and drives the rotary table 42 to move the second pressing member 41 and the material to the second rotating position to ensure accurate material transfer path. The action of the rotary table 42 driven by the fourth drive assembly 43 is synchronized with the action of the first pressing member 31 to avoid conflict between rotation and pressing actions and improve process continuity.

[0078] The third mounting plate 45 extends laterally and connects to the second mounting plate 13 via the second vertical plate 46, forming a rigid support frame to ensure that the rotary table 42 operates without vibration or offset during high-speed rotation or axial movement. The laterally extended design of the third mounting plate 45 avoids interference with the first mounting plate 25 of the first transfer mechanism, simplifying equipment layout and facilitating maintenance and debugging. Simultaneously, the fifth drive assembly 44 can retract before the rotary table 42 rotates to avoid interference with the first pressing member 31, enhancing safety.

[0079] This utility model provides a flexible feeding mechanism, comprising: a front and rear feeding structure and a rotating receiving structure; wherein, the front and rear feeding structure is used to supply material to the rotating receiving structure at a first pressing position; the rotating receiving structure is used to press the material down at the first pressing position and to drive the material from the first rotating position to a second rotating position. This flexible feeding mechanism adopts a modular design with the front and rear feeding structure and the rotating receiving structure separated. Through the coordinated operation of the front and rear feeding structure and the rotating receiving structure, the process of receiving, positioning, and transferring materials is automated, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing manual intervention. Linear conveying is achieved through the front and rear feeding structure, and rotational separation is achieved through the rotating receiving structure, realizing a decoupling design of process actions, avoiding motion interference, and making it suitable for high-cycle production scenarios. The material is conveyed to the first pressing position through a front and rear feeding structure, ensuring the initial positioning accuracy of the material. A rotating receiving structure forms a transfer path for the material, preventing deviation during transmission. The rotating receiving structure also guides the material precisely closer to wire 2, ensuring accurate coaxial assembly between the material and the outer circumference of wire 2. The coordinated operation of the front and rear feeding structures and the rotating receiving structure allows for the adaptation to different specifications of wire 2 and materials, expanding the applicability of this flexible feeding mechanism. This flexible feeding mechanism combines high precision, high efficiency, and a compact structure, making it suitable for industrial production scenarios involving the assembly of materials with the outer circumference of wire 2. Through the collaborative work of its various structures, this flexible feeding mechanism achieves a complete process from material preparation to assembly. The rotating receiving structure ensures the material is ultimately and accurately fitted onto the surface of wire 2, improving assembly accuracy. Therefore, the clear division of labor between the front and rear feeding structures and the rotating receiving structure reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency.
