Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coil feeding, and in particular to a coil feeding assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In existing coil production lines, coil picking typically relies on manual operation or simple mechanical devices. However, these traditional picking methods suffer from inefficiencies, inaccurate picking, and potential coil damage. For example, when the picking device is not perfectly aligned with the product, the picking component may press hard on the product surface or easily cause damage, which not only affects the coil quality but also increases production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a coil picking component that can automatically, accurately and safely pick up coils.

An mounting plate is installed at the upper end of the guide rod, and the lower end of the guide rod is connected to the gripper mounting block. A first detection sensor is provided on one side of the guide cylinder, and a detection block cooperating with the first detection sensor is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate. The component also includes a spring sleeved on the guide rod, one end of the spring abutting against the bottom of the guide cylinder, and the other end of the spring abutting against the upper part of the gripper mounting block.

[0018] The components in the diagram are labeled as follows: gripper mounting block 1, robotic arm mounting block 2, guide cylinder 3, guide rod 4, mounting plate 5, first detection sensor 6, detection block 7, spring 8, sensor mounting block 9, second detection sensor 10, magnetic suction component 11, positioning post 12, gripping cylinder 13, connecting block 14, first clamping block 15, second clamping block 16, coil body 17, and pin 18. Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of this application discloses a coil picking assembly, including a gripper mounting block 1, a picking assembly at the bottom of the gripper mounting block 1, a robotic arm mounting block 2 at the top of the gripper mounting block 1, a plurality of guide cylinders 3 arranged circumferentially on the robotic arm mounting block 2, a guide groove in the middle of the guide cylinder 3, and a guide rod 4 passing through the guide groove. A mounting plate 5 is mounted on the upper end of the guide rod 4, and the lower end of the guide rod 4 is connected to the gripper mounting block 1. A first detection sensor 6 is provided on one side of the guide cylinder 3, and a detection block 7 cooperating with the first detection sensor 6 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 5. The assembly also includes a spring 8 sleeved on the guide rod 4, one end of the spring 8 abutting against the bottom of the guide cylinder 3, and the other end of the spring 8 abutting against the upper part of the gripper mounting block 1.

[0021] When the gripper mounting block 1 fails to accurately grip the coil, the gripper mounting block 1 is pushed up by external force, and the first detection sensor 6 detects the signal from the detection block 7.

[0022] In operation, the robotic arm drives the robotic arm mounting block 2, which in turn moves the gripper mounting block 1 above the coil. At this point, the material handling component picks up or grips the coil. If the coil's position is slightly off, causing the gripper mounting block 1 to fail to grip the coil accurately, the gripper mounting block 1 will rise due to the coil's reaction force. Simultaneously, the guide rod 4 rises, and the detection block 7 at the bottom of the mounting plate 5 also rises. When the detection block 7 rises to be flush with the first detection sensor 6, the first detection sensor 6 detects the signal from the detection block 7, thus alerting the operator or automatic control system that the coil has not been accurately gripped. The operator or automatic control system can then adjust the position of the robotic arm or the coil based on this alert to ensure accurate gripping. Simultaneously, the spring 8 allows the gripper mounting block 1 to automatically reset after being pushed up by external force, facilitating the next material handling operation.

[0023] The above structure, through the setting of the first detection sensor 6, can detect whether the gripper mounting block 1 accurately grips the coil. When the gripper mounting block 1 fails to accurately grip the coil, the gripper mounting block 1 rises, and the first detection sensor 6 detects the signal of the detection block 7, thereby reminding the operator or the automatic control system to make adjustments. This avoids coil damage caused by inaccurate material handling in traditional material handling methods, and improves coil quality and production efficiency.

[0024] In this embodiment, a sensor mounting block 9 is provided on one side of the gripper mounting block 1, and a second detection sensor 10 is provided on the sensor mounting block 9. The second detection sensor 10 is oriented toward the gripping position of the material handling component.

[0025] Specifically, the second detection sensor 10 is used to detect whether a coil is present at the gripping position of the material-grabbing component. When the material-grabbing component moves above the coil to prepare for suction or gripping, the second detection sensor 10 first detects the position of the coil. If the second detection sensor 10 detects the presence of the coil, the material-grabbing component continues to perform the suction or gripping action; if the second detection sensor 10 does not detect the presence of the coil, the material-grabbing component stops its action and moves to the next material-grabbing position to perform the material-grabbing operation.

[0026] The inclusion of the second detection sensor 10 in this structure can prevent empty material handling, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of material handling.

[0027] In this embodiment, the material handling component is a magnetic suction component 11.

[0028] Specifically, the magnetic pick-up element 11 is made of a strong magnetic material, which can firmly attract the coil and prevent the coil from slipping or falling during the picking process. At the same time, the design of the magnetic pick-up element 11 makes it easy to pick up and release the coil, improving the convenience and efficiency of picking up materials.

[0029] In this embodiment, a positioning post 12 is provided at the bottom of the magnetic suction component 11.

[0030] Specifically, the positioning post 12 allows the magnetic pick-up component 11 to more accurately position the coil when picking it up, avoiding inaccurate picking due to positional deviation. The shape and size of the positioning post 12 can be customized according to the shape and size of the coil to ensure that the magnetic pick-up component 11 can fit tightly against the coil surface, improving the stability and accuracy of picking up the coil.

[0031] In this embodiment, the material handling assembly includes a clamping cylinder 13, a connecting block 14 is mounted on the first driving claw of the clamping cylinder 13, the magnetic suction component 11 is mounted on the bottom of the connecting block 14, and also includes a first clamping block 15, which is mounted on one side of the connecting block 14. A second clamping block 16 is mounted on the second driving claw of the clamping cylinder 13, and the first clamping block 15 and the second clamping block 16 are located on the same side of the magnetic suction component 11.

[0032] The first clamping block 15 is used to insert into the gap of the coil pin 18, and the first clamping block 15 and the second clamping block 16 are used to clamp the coil pin 18.

[0033] Specifically, it should be explained that the coil mechanism includes a coil body 17, a pin 18 is provided on one side of the coil body 17, and a gap is provided between the coil body 17 and the pin 18.

[0034] During the actual material handling process, the material handling assembly moves from top to bottom, causing the magnetic suction element 11 to attract the coil body 17. Simultaneously, the first clamping block 15 inserts into the gap between the coil body 17 and the pin 18. Then, the clamping cylinder 13 clamps inward, causing the first clamping block 15 and the second clamping block 16 to clamp the coil's pin 18, thus stably holding the coil in place. During the clamping process, the magnetic suction element 11 provides the primary attraction force, ensuring the coil does not fall off. The cooperation of the first clamping block 15 and the second clamping block 16 further enhances the coil's stability, especially when the coil has protruding parts such as the pin 18. This clamping method ensures the coil is firmly and safely clamped.

[0035] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
