Detailed Implementation
[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a short insert dispensing and tray-laying machine, including a machine base 1. The machine base 1 is equipped with an insert transfer transverse cylinder 2, an insert vibrating plate 3, a dispensing assembly, a position plate 4, a synchronous belt module 5, insert tray-laying positions 6, and a touch screen 7. The output end of the insert transfer transverse cylinder 2 is provided with an insert transfer transverse plate 8. The insert transfer transverse plate 8 is equipped with a gripper clearance cylinder 9. The output end of the gripper clearance cylinder 9 is equipped with a gripper clearance plate 10. The gripper clearance plate 10 is equipped with two insert transfer gripper cylinders 11. Each insert transfer gripper cylinder... Each output end of 11 is provided with a transfer gripper body 12. The position plate 4 is provided with a waiting position 13 for dispensing and a waiting position 14 for dispensing completion. The moving end of the synchronous belt module 5 is provided with a core tray plate 15. The core tray plate 15 is provided with a core tray lifting cylinder 16. The output end of the core tray lifting cylinder 16 is provided with a core tray gripper cylinder 17. The output end of the core tray gripper cylinder 17 is provided with a tray gripper body 18. The core tray position 6 is provided with a material tray 19, and the core tray position 6 is driven by the tray screw module 20.
[0018] In this embodiment, by integrating components such as the ferrule transfer lateral movement cylinder 2, the ferrule vibrating plate 3, the dispensing assembly, the position plate 4, the synchronous belt module 5, the ferrule tray placement position 6, and the touch screen 7, automated dispensing and tray placement of ferrules are achieved. Specifically, the ferrule transfer lateral movement cylinder 2 and the ferrule transfer gripper cylinder 11 work together to ensure accurate ferrule transfer; the dispensing assembly is responsible for precise dispensing, improving dispensing quality; and the synchronous belt module 5 and the ferrule tray lifting cylinder 16 enable rapid tray placement of ferrules. This design effectively solves the problems of uniformity and efficiency in manual dispensing, improving production efficiency and product quality.
[0019] Furthermore, the insert transfer transverse plate 8 is provided with two slide rails 21, and the gripper clearance plate 10 is provided with two slide blocks 22 below it. The two slide blocks 22 are slidably connected to the corresponding slide rails 21 and are located on the slide rails 21.
[0020] In this embodiment, this design reduces the shaking and offset of the insert during transportation, ensuring that the insert can be accurately delivered to the designated position, and further improving the accuracy and efficiency of dispensing and tray arrangement.
[0021] Furthermore, the ferrule vibrating plate 3 has a ferrule transfer groove 23, one end of which is connected to the vibration chamber 24, and the other end of the ferrule transfer groove 23 is provided with a ferrule detection optical fiber 25 and a ferrule positioning block 26.
[0022] In this embodiment, the ferrule transfer groove 23 on the ferrule vibratory plate 3 is connected to the vibration chamber 24. With the help of the ferrule detection fiber 25 and the ferrule positioning block 26, automatic feeding and detection of the ferrule are realized. This design not only simplifies the feeding process, but also ensures the accuracy of each feeding through the ferrule detection fiber 25, avoiding dispensing errors caused by the ferrule not being in place, and improving the automation level and reliability of the production line.
[0023] Furthermore, the dispensing assembly includes a dispensing cylinder 27 and a dispensing plate 28. The dispensing cylinder 27 is provided with a dispensing threaded sleeve 29, and the dispensing plate 28 is provided with a dispensing lifting motor 30. The output end of the dispensing lifting motor 30 is provided with a dispensing position screw 31. The dispensing threaded sleeve 29 is threadedly connected to the dispensing position screw 31 and is sleeved on the dispensing position screw 31. The dispensing plate 28 is disposed on the machine base 1.
[0024] In this embodiment, the precise control of the dispensing lifting motor 30 and the dispensing position screw 31 enables precise adjustment of the dispensing amount. This design not only improves the uniformity and consistency of dispensing, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the dispensing process through the threaded connection between the dispensing threaded sleeve 29 and the dispensing position screw 31, further improving dispensing quality and production efficiency.
[0025] Furthermore, the ferrule transfer transverse cylinder 2 and the dispensing assembly are both located outside the ferrule vibrating plate 3, and the position plate 4 is located between the ferrule transfer transverse cylinder 2, the ferrule tray position 6, the synchronous belt module 5, the dispensing assembly and the ferrule vibrating plate 3. The transfer gripper body 12 of one of the ferrule transfer gripper cylinders 11 is located at the dispensing waiting position 13, and the transfer gripper body 12 of the other ferrule transfer gripper cylinder 11 is located at the dispensing completion waiting position 14. The dispensing cylinder 27 is located directly above the dispensing waiting position 13, and the tray clamping gripper body 18 is located directly above the dispensing completion waiting position 14.
[0026] In this invention, after the machine switch is turned on, the ferrule vibrating plate 3 starts working, transporting the ferrule along the ferrule transfer groove 23 to the ferrule positioning block 26 through vibration. At this time, when the ferrule detection fiber optic 25 detects that the ferrule is in place, the operator places the material tray 19 into the ferrule tray position 6 and presses the start button. At this time, the ferrule transfer transverse cylinder 2 is in the retracted position, the gripper clearance cylinder 9 extends, driving the gripper clearance plate 10 to descend. Subsequently, the gripper lifting cylinder descends, passing through two... The transfer gripper body 12 of the insert transfer gripper cylinder 11 clamps the insert. After clamping the insert, the insert transfer lateral movement cylinder 2, the gripper clearance cylinder 9, and the gripper lifting cylinder work together to transfer the insert to the dispensing station, namely the dispensing waiting position 13 on the position plate 4. During this process, the cooperation between the slide rail 21 and the slide block 22 ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the transfer. When the insert transfer lateral movement cylinder 2 completes its movement and returns to its initial position, the dispensing lifting motor 30 drives the dispensing position screw 31 to rotate. The sleeve 29 is threadedly connected to the glue dispensing position screw 31. The glue dispensing cylinder 27 descends along the glue dispensing position screw 31, precisely dispensing glue into the insert through the glue dispensing needle inside the glue dispensing cylinder 27. After glue dispensing is completed, if the insert is in position, the insert transfer gripper cylinder 11 will clamp the insert at the glue-to-be-dispensed waiting position 13 and the glue-completed waiting position 14 together, and move it backward one station to the glue-completed waiting position 14. The insert transfer gripper cylinder 11 then returns to its initial position. At this time, the insert tray lifting cylinder 16 will lower the insert tray gripper cylinder 17 along with it. The machine uses the tray clamping claw body 18 to pick up the dispensing cores. Then, the synchronous belt module 5 moves the cores to the material tray 19. After the cores are placed in the material tray 19, the tray clamping claw body 18 returns to its initial position, waiting for the next tray clamping. After the material tray 19 is filled with a row of cores, it moves forward through the tray screw module 20 to load the second row until the material tray 19 is completely full. At this time, the operator manually unloads the cores and replaces the empty material tray 19. The machine then continues to work in the same cycle.
[0027] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model are still within the scope of the utility model.
