Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of threaded sleeve processing technology, specifically to a threaded sleeve processing and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Threaded sleeves are widely used connection tools in the machinery and construction industries. Their main function is to achieve high-strength and stable connections through threaded engagement. Threaded sleeves are typically manufactured using a combination of CNC machine tools and robotic arms, which significantly improves production efficiency. When the robotic arm feeds materials, it must ensure accurate gripping of each blank to guarantee workpiece quality. However, because the blanks are cylindrical, they may tilt or come into contact with each other as they move from the feed platform's inlet to the outlet. This can prevent the robotic arm from accurately gripping each blank, thus affecting workpiece quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a threaded sleeve processing conveying device, which solves the problem that the robot arm cannot accurately grip each blank on the feeding platform.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A feeding platform is set on one side of the CNC machine tool, and the conveying surface of the feeding platform is arranged inclined downward along the feeding direction;

[0007] The stop levers are located on both sides of the feeding platform;

[0008] Lifting blocks are installed on both sides of the discharge end of the feeding platform, and the top surface of the lifting blocks is provided with positioning grooves for cooperating with the billet.

[0009] A baffle is installed on one side of the lifting block;

[0010] The first telescopic element is located on the other side of the lifting block and is used to act on one end of the blank.

[0011] The distance between the stops is adjustable.

[0012] The feeding platform has mounting blocks on both sides, the side of the stop bar has a connecting rod for passing through the mounting block, and the top of the mounting block has a locking member for tightening the connecting rod.

[0013] The first telescopic element is a cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder is equipped with a rubber pad.

[0014] The robotic arm is positioned above the feeding platform. The robotic arm includes a lifting arm, with a first gripper at the bottom and a second gripper on the side.

[0015] It also includes a conveyor belt set on one side of the feeding platform. The feed end of the conveyor belt is provided with a U-shaped seat.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0027] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the threaded sleeve processing and conveying device includes a robotic arm and a CNC machine tool. The robotic arm is equipped with a lateral movement mechanism and a longitudinal movement mechanism, and also includes:

[0028] A feeding platform 1 is set on one side of the CNC machine tool, and the conveying surface of the feeding platform 1 is arranged inclined downward along the feeding direction;

[0029] Stop lever 2 is set on both sides of the feeding platform 1;

[0030] Lifting blocks 3 are set on both sides of the discharge end of the feeding platform 1. The top surface of the lifting blocks 3 is provided with positioning grooves 4 for cooperating with the billet.

[0031] Baffle 5 is located on one side of lifting block 3;

[0032] The first telescopic element 6 is located on the other side of the lifting block 3 and is used to act on one end of the blank.

[0033] The first telescopic element 6 is a cylinder. The blank slides along the conveying surface of the feeding platform 1. The first blank enters the positioning groove 4 of the lifting block 3. Then the lifting block 3 rises. The other blanks are blocked by the side wall of the lifting block 3 at the discharge end of the feeding platform 1. The first telescopic element 6 pushes one end of the blank on the lifting block 3 until the other end of the blank contacts the baffle 5, thereby positioning the blank and ensuring that the robot can accurately grip each blank and ensure the processing quality of the workpiece.

[0034] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the distance between the stop levers 2 is adjustable. This allows for the adaptation to blanks of different lengths, providing good versatility.

[0035] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the feeding platform 1 has mounting blocks 7 on both sides, and the side of the stop bar 2 has a connecting rod 8 for passing through the mounting block. The top of the mounting block 7 has a locking member 9 for tightening the connecting rod 8. The locking member 9 is a hand-tightening bolt. By loosening the hand-tightening bolt, the distance between the stop bars 2 can be adjusted by moving the connecting rod 8. The structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient.

[0036] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the first telescopic element 6 is a cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder is equipped with a rubber pad 10. This prevents damage to the surface of the blank when it is being pushed for positioning.

[0037] In the embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the robotic arm is positioned above the feeding platform 1. The robotic arm includes a lifting arm 11, with a first gripper 12 at its bottom and a second gripper 13 on its side. The first gripper 12 is used to grip the blank on the feeding platform 1. After the blank is processed in the CNC machine tool, the second gripper 13 removes the workpiece, and then the first gripper 12 feeds the blank into the CNC machine tool. The cooperation between the first gripper 12 and the second gripper 13 greatly improves work efficiency.

[0038] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the system also includes a conveyor belt 14 located on one side of the feeding platform 1. The feed end of the conveyor belt 14 is equipped with a U-shaped seat 15. One side of the U-shaped seat 15 has a notch 16 for engagement with a second gripper 13. A rotating device 17 is located at the bottom of the U-shaped seat 15, and a second telescopic element 18 is located on the side of the U-shaped seat 15 furthest from the conveyor belt. When the workpiece needs to undergo the next processing step, the second gripper 13 removes the workpiece from the CNC machine tool and moves it to the U-shaped seat 15, lowering it. The second gripper 13 passes through the notch 16 and places the workpiece on the U-shaped seat 15. The rotating device 17 is a motor or a rotary cylinder. The rotating device 17 then rotates the U-shaped seat 15 90 degrees. The second telescopic element 18 is a cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder extends, pushing the workpiece from the U-shaped seat 15 onto the conveyor belt 14.

[0039] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the U-shaped seat 15 is also equipped with a lifting mechanism 19 and a guide rail mechanism 20. The lifting mechanism 19 includes a support base, on which a cylinder for connecting with the U-shaped seat 15 is provided. The U-shaped seat 15 can also be lifted up and down to prevent the lifting arm 11 from falling too low when the conveyor belt 14 is at a low height, which would cause the first gripper 12 to collide with the ground.

[0040] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the feed end of the conveyor belt 14 is provided with a guide plate 21. The conveyor belt 14 is a stainless steel chain conveyor belt, and the guide plate 21 is set at an inclination. The cylinder pushes the workpiece from the U-shaped seat 15 onto the guide plate 21, and then the workpiece slides from the guide plate 21 onto the conveyor belt 14, so that there will be no collision when the workpiece enters the conveyor belt 14.

[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative examples and not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this utility model still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
