Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material feeding system technology, specifically a dual-station symmetrical material feeding system. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial automated production, copper embedded parts are a common type of electronic component connector, widely used in the manufacturing process of various electronic products. As electronic products develop towards miniaturization and integration, higher demands are placed on the processing precision and production efficiency of copper embedded parts.

[0003] According to CN208527356U, a copper sheet feeding mechanism is disclosed. This technology discloses a copper sheet feeding mechanism, including a detection table, a controller on the top of the detection table, a vertical vibrator on one side of the controller, a copper sheet on the top of the vertical vibrator, pins on the bottom of the copper sheet, a detection block on the bottom of the vertical vibrator, a first cylinder on the top of the detection block, and a second cylinder on one side of the detection block. It has the following technical effects: "The copper sheet to be detected is sent to the top of the detection block by the vertical vibrator. Since the detection hole is a vertical structure, when the pin is deformed, the pin will touch the inner wall of the detection hole. The detection block will be sensed and send a signal to the controller. The controller controls the second cylinder to start. The pressure rod of the second cylinder extends and pushes the copper sheet to the waste recycling box. The limiting guide post and the limiting circular hole facilitate the alignment of the copper sheet with the mold to avoid affecting the product effect. The circular protrusion can fix the copper sheet and prevent the copper sheet from falling during transportation."

[0004] Traditional single-station feeding systems require processing two workpieces, one for the front and one for the back, which results in waiting time during the feeding process and makes it impossible to achieve synchronous feeding and transfer of workpieces. This serial processing method severely restricts the overall production efficiency. At the same time, since the front and back workpieces need to be positioned and gripped separately, the system complexity is increased and the smoothness of the production line operation is affected.

[0018] Beneficial effects

[0019] This invention provides a dual-station symmetrical feeding system. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a dual-station symmetrical feeding system, including a processing table 1 and a copper sheet embedding component 3. The processing table 1 is equipped with a processing mechanism 2 for dual-station symmetrical feeding of the copper sheet embedding component 3. The processing mechanism 2 includes:

[0032] The feeding assembly 21 is set at the front end of the processing table 1 and is used to continuously feed the copper sheet embedded part 3.

[0033] The discharge assembly 22 is located on the front right side of the processing table 1 and is used to discharge the copper sheet embedded part 3 in the feeding assembly 21.

[0034] The material handling component 23 is set at the front center of the processing table 1 and is used to grab the copper sheet embedded part 3 on the material discharging component 22 in two separate operations, one in the front and one in the back.

[0035] The positioning component 24 includes a positioning base 241 disposed on the right side of the processing table 1 and used to position the two copper sheet embedded parts 3 in opposite directions.

[0036] The feeding assembly 25 includes a moving part 251 located at the rear end of the processing table 1. The moving part 251 is equipped with a gripping assembly 252 for gripping two copper sheet embedded parts 3 in opposite directions in the positioning cylinder 242.

[0037] In this implementation scheme, the efficient and automated feeding of the copper sheet embedding component 3 is achieved through the coordinated operation of the feeding component 21, the discharging component 22, the picking component 23, the positioning component 24, and the feeding component 25. The processing table 1 serves as the basic platform of the system, integrating various functional modules. The feeding component 21 ensures the continuous and stable delivery of materials. The discharging component 22 accurately positions the workpiece to the picking position. The picking component 23 achieves alternating picking and placing of positive and negative workpieces through a unique multi-stage gripping mechanism. The positioning component 24 adopts a segmented positioning design to ensure the precise alignment of the two workpieces. The feeding component 25 completes the final transfer of the workpiece through a multi-axis moving mechanism. The symmetrical dual-station design, combined with modular functional components, not only achieves the synchronous processing capability of the positive and negative copper sheet embedding components 3, but also ensures the continuity and stability of the entire feeding process through precise timing control between the components.

[0038] Specifically, the discharge assembly 22 includes a discharge base 221 fixed on the front right side of the processing table 1. A discharge cylinder 222 is longitudinally installed on the upper end of the discharge base 221. A discharge limit seat 223 is fixed on the upper output end of the discharge cylinder 222. A discharge groove 224 is opened inside the upper end of the discharge limit seat 223.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the copper sheet embedded part 3 conveyed by the material channel 213 enters the discharge groove 224, the discharge cylinder 222 lifts the workpiece to a predetermined height, creating the best gripping position for the material picking pneumatic gripper 236.

[0040] Specifically, the material handling assembly 23 includes a material handling base 231 fixed to the front of the middle part of the processing table 1. A first material handling cylinder 232 is horizontally installed on the upper end of the material handling base 231. A second material handling cylinder 233 is vertically installed at the output end of the first material handling cylinder 232. A material handling support 234 is located at the upper output end of the second material handling cylinder 233. A material handling rotary cylinder 235 is vertically installed on the upper end of the material handling support 234. A material handling pneumatic gripper 236 is installed at the lower output end of the material handling rotary cylinder 235.

[0041] In this embodiment, the copper sheet embedded part 3 gripped by the first picking cylinder 232 and the second picking cylinder 233 is sent into the positioning seat 244 by the picking pneumatic gripper 236. The picking pneumatic gripper 236 can grip the copper sheet embedded part 3 in the discharge groove 224. During the second gripping, the picking pneumatic gripper 236 can be rotated 180 degrees by the picking rotary cylinder 235 to grip the copper sheet embedded part 3 in the discharge groove 224. This allows the picking pneumatic gripper 236 to place the two copper sheet embedded parts 3 in the positioning seat 244 in two separate operations.

[0042] Specifically, the positioning component 24 includes a positioning base 241 fixed on the right side of the processing table 1. A positioning cylinder 242 is installed on the top of the positioning base 241. An extension plate 243 is fixed at the front output end of the positioning cylinder 242. A positioning seat 244 is fixed at the top front end of the extension plate 243. A partition 245 is fixed on the left side inside the positioning seat 244 and is used to separate the two copper sheet embedded parts 3 placed in opposite directions. A positioning pneumatic gripper 246 is installed on the right side inside the positioning seat 244 and is used to position the two copper sheet embedded parts 3 synchronously.

[0043] In this embodiment, the output end of the positioning cylinder 242 drives the extension plate 243 to move the positioning seat 244 back and forth to ensure that the workpieces placed by the pneumatic gripper 236 in two stages can accurately enter the designated positions on both sides of the partition 245. Then, the positioning pneumatic gripper 246 performs synchronous clamping and positioning on the two workpieces.

[0044] Specifically, the gripping component 252 includes a gripping rotary cylinder 2521 disposed on the moving part 251. A first gripping pneumatic gripper 2522 is installed at the lower output end of the gripping rotary cylinder 2521. A first chuck 2523 is fixed on the two grippers in front of the first gripping pneumatic gripper 2522. A second gripping pneumatic gripper 2524 is installed at the bottom of the first gripping pneumatic gripper 2522. A second chuck 2525 is fixed on the two grippers in front of the second gripping pneumatic gripper 2524.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first gripping pneumatic gripper 2522 drives the first chuck 2523 and the second gripping pneumatic gripper 2524 to drive the second chuck 2525 to simultaneously grip the two copper sheet embedded parts 3 placed in opposite directions in the positioning seat 244. The moving component 251 controls the gripping component 252 to feed the two copper sheet embedded parts 3 in opposite directions to the next process. Through the upper and lower double-layer gripper design, the gripping component 252 can accurately grip the two copper sheet embedded parts 3 placed in opposite directions in the positioning seat 244 at one time, which not only significantly improves production efficiency, but also ensures the positional stability of the workpiece during the transfer process.

[0046] Specifically, the moving part 251 includes a feeding base 2511 slidably mounted on the rear end of the processing table 1. A feeding cylinder 2512 is mounted on the front end of the top of the processing table 1 and is used to drive the feeding base 2511 to move. A transverse electric slide 2513 is mounted on the upper end of the feeding base 2511. A longitudinal electric slide 2514 is mounted on the slider of the transverse electric slide 2513. A cantilever 2515 is fixed on the slider of the longitudinal electric slide 2514, and a gripping rotary cylinder 2521 is fixed to the bottom right end of the cantilever 2515.

[0047] In this embodiment, the gripping component 252 on the cantilever 2515 is controlled by the feeding cylinder 2512, the transverse electric slide 2513 and the longitudinal electric slide 2514 to move flexibly in the XZY three-axis space, which not only ensures the gripping position accuracy of the positive and negative copper sheet embedded parts 3, but also realizes the smooth transfer from the positioning station to the next process.

[0048] Specifically, the feeding assembly 21 includes a circular vibrator 211 installed at the front end of the processing table 1, a linear vibrator 212 installed on the right side of the front end of the processing table 1, and a material channel 213 installed between the discharge port of the circular vibrator 211 and the linear vibrator 212.

[0049] In this embodiment, the copper sheet embedding part 3 is continuously and orderly fed out from the feed channel 213 by the circular vibrator 211 in conjunction with the linear vibrator 212.

[0050] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the copper sheet embedding part 3 is continuously and orderly fed out from the material channel 213 by the circular vibrator 211 and the linear vibrator 212. After the copper sheet embedding part 3 conveyed by the material channel 213 enters the discharge trough 224, the discharge cylinder 222 lifts the workpiece to a predetermined height, creating the best gripping position for the material picking pneumatic gripper 236.

[0051] Then, the copper sheet embedded part 3 gripped by the first picking cylinder 232 and the second picking cylinder 233 is sent into the positioning seat 244 by the picking pneumatic gripper 236. The picking pneumatic gripper 236 can grip the copper sheet embedded part 3 in the discharge groove 224. During the second gripping, the picking pneumatic gripper 236 can be rotated 180 degrees by the picking rotary cylinder 235 to grip the copper sheet embedded part 3 in the discharge groove 224. This allows the picking pneumatic gripper 236 to place the two copper sheet embedded parts 3 in the positioning seat 244 in two separate operations. Furthermore, the output end of the positioning cylinder 242 drives the extension plate 243 to move the positioning seat 244 back and forth to ensure that the workpieces placed by the picking pneumatic gripper 236 in two separate operations can accurately enter the designated positions on both sides of the partition 245. Then, the positioning pneumatic gripper 246 performs synchronous clamping and positioning of the two workpieces.

[0052] Finally, the first gripping pneumatic gripper 2522 drives the first chuck 2523 and the second gripping pneumatic gripper 2524 to drive the second chuck 2525 to simultaneously grip the two copper sheet embedded parts 3 placed in opposite directions in the positioning seat 244. The moving component 251 controls the gripping component 252 to feed the two copper sheet embedded parts 3 to the next process. Through the upper and lower double-layer gripper design, the gripping component 252 can accurately grip the two copper sheet embedded parts 3 placed in opposite directions in the positioning seat 244 at one time, which not only significantly improves production efficiency, but also ensures the positional stability of the workpiece during the transfer process. Furthermore, the feeding cylinder 2512, the transverse electric slide 2513 and the longitudinal electric slide 2514 control the gripping component 252 on the cantilever 2515 to move flexibly in the XZY three-axis space, which not only ensures the gripping position accuracy of the copper sheet embedded parts 3, but also realizes the smooth transfer from the positioning station to the next process.
