Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile manufacturing, and in particular to an automated tooling material handling device for door sills. Background Technology

[0002] In many industrial sectors such as automobile manufacturing and building decoration, door sills are key structural components whose quality directly affects the overall performance, appearance quality, and safety of the product. For example, in automobile manufacturing, door sills not only support the vehicle body and protect the occupants, but their color consistency and surface smoothness also affect the overall aesthetics of the car and consumers' perception of product quality.

[0003] Most existing automated material handling devices are single-function devices, capable of only performing basic material handling operations. They lack the function of detecting the color and flatness of the threshold, requiring the threshold to be inspected by specialized inspection equipment after processing. This makes it impossible to perform direct inspection during the material handling process, resulting in low efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an automated tooling material handling device for door thresholds that can detect the color and flatness of the threshold during the material handling process, so as to ensure product quality and improve production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing automated material handling devices, which are mostly single-function and can only perform basic material handling operations, lacking the function of detecting the color and flatness of the threshold, and requiring the threshold to be inspected by special inspection equipment after processing, making it impossible to directly detect during the material handling process and resulting in low efficiency, this utility model provides an automated tooling material handling device for thresholds that can detect the color and flatness of the threshold during the material handling process, ensuring product quality and improving production efficiency.

[0006] Technical solution: An automated tooling material handling device for door sills includes a feeding platform, a worktable, a robotic arm, a clamping mechanism, and a detection mechanism. The worktable is connected to the left side of the feeding platform, and a robotic arm is located between the feeding platform and the rear side of the worktable. The robotic arm and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. The robotic arm is equipped with a clamping mechanism that can automatically clamp the door sills, and the clamping mechanism is equipped with a detection mechanism that can detect the color and flatness of the door sills during the material handling process.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, an anti-slip pad is provided on the upper side of the workbench.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the clamping mechanism includes a fixed plate, a bidirectional cylinder, a fixed clamping plate, a movable clamping plate, and a connecting rod. The fixed plate is connected to the robotic arm. The bidirectional cylinders are connected to both the left and right sides of the fixed plate. The bidirectional cylinders and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. Movable clamping plates are connected to the telescopic ends of the front and rear parts of the bidirectional cylinders. Fixed clamping plates are connected between the two adjacent movable clamping plates on the left and right sides. A connecting rod is connected to the upper side of the front fixed clamping plate.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, two limiting blocks are provided on the left and right sides of the fixed clamps that are close to each other.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it also includes an indicator light, which is connected to the upper side of the fixing plate.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a detection mechanism, which includes a motor, a lead screw, a color difference detector, a flatness detector, a spring, and a connecting block. The motor is connected to the left side of the connecting rod, and the motor and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. The lead screw is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the lead screw. Two connecting blocks are threadedly connected to the lead screw, and the connecting blocks are slidably connected to the connecting rod. The color difference detector is connected to the lower side of the left connecting block, and the flatness detector is slidably connected to the right connecting block. A spring connects the flatness detector to the connecting block.

[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses the rotation of the lead screw to move the connecting block, which in turn moves the color difference detector and the flatness detector. The color difference detector scans and detects the color of the threshold surface. When the threshold surface is uneven, it will squeeze the flatness detector to move upward. This achieves the effect of detecting the threshold color and flatness during the material handling process, ensuring product quality and improving production efficiency.

[0013] 2. This utility model uses a two-way cylinder to move the movable clamping plate inward, which in turn moves the fixed clamping plate inward to grip the threshold on the material feeding platform. Then, the mechanical arm transfers the threshold to the worktable, thus achieving the effect of automatically gripping and picking up the threshold, improving work efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this does not limit the scope of protection and application of the present invention.

[0021] A threshold automated tooling material handling device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a feeding platform 1, a workbench 2, a robotic arm 3, a clamping mechanism 4, and a detection mechanism 5. The workbench 2 is connected to the left side of the feeding platform 1. The upper side of the workbench 2 is provided with an anti-slip pad. The robotic arm 3 is located between the rear side of the feeding platform 1 and the workbench 2. The robotic arm 3 and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. The clamping mechanism 4 is provided on the robotic arm 3, and the detection mechanism 5 is provided on the clamping mechanism 4.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism 4 includes a fixed plate 41, an indicator light 42, a two-way cylinder 43, a fixed clamping plate 44, a movable clamping plate 45, and a connecting rod 46. The fixed plate 41 is connected to the robotic arm 3. The indicator light 42 is connected to the upper side of the fixed plate 41. Two-way cylinders 43 are connected to both the left and right sides of the fixed plate 41. The two-way cylinders 43 and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. Movable clamping plates 45 are connected to the telescopic ends of the front and rear parts of the two-way cylinders 43. Fixed clamping plates 44 are connected between two adjacent movable clamping plates 45. Two limit blocks are provided on the side of the fixed clamping plates 44 that are close to each other for easy positioning. The connecting rod 46 is connected to the upper side of the front fixed clamping plate 44.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, it also includes a detection mechanism 5, which includes a motor 51, a lead screw 52, ​​a color difference detector 53, a flatness detector 54, a spring 55, and a connecting block 56. The motor 51 is connected to the left side of the connecting rod 46. The motor 51 and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. The lead screw 52 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 51. The connecting rod 46 is rotatably connected to the lead screw 52. Two connecting blocks 56 are threadedly connected to the lead screw 52. The connecting blocks 56 are slidably connected to the connecting rod 46. The color difference detector 53 is connected to the lower side of the left connecting block 56. The flatness detector 54 is slidably connected to the right connecting block 56. A spring 55 is connected between the flatness detector 54 and the connecting block 56.

[0024] When using this device, first place the feeding platform 1 and the worktable 2 in the automated threshold tooling picking area. The processor controls the robotic arm 3 to rotate via the control module, so that the fixed clamping plate 44 is positioned on the feeding platform 1. The processor then activates the bidirectional cylinder 43 via the control module, driving the movable clamping plate 45 to move inward, causing the fixed clamping plate 44 to move inward and clamp the threshold on the feeding platform 1. Then, the robotic arm 3 transfers the threshold to the worktable 2, thereby automatically clamping and picking up the threshold, improving work efficiency. During the picking process, the motor 51 can be activated to drive the lead screw 52 to rotate, causing the connecting block 56 to move under the action of the thread. The color difference detector 53 and the flatness detector 54 are moved together. The color difference detector 53 scans and detects the color of the threshold surface. When the threshold surface is uneven, it will squeeze the flatness detector 54 to move upward. The spring 55 is compressed and contracted. The color difference detector 53 and the flatness detector 54 detect the color and flatness of the threshold. At the same time, the indicator light 42 will brighten to indicate that there is a problem with the threshold. This allows the threshold color and flatness to be detected during the material handling process, ensuring product quality and improving production efficiency. When the flatness detector 54 moves to a flat position, the spring 55 returns to its original position, driving the flatness detector 54 to move and reset.
