[0035] The core of this utility model is to disclose a copper strip feeding device for a shielding machine, so as to improve the feeding efficiency of copper strips for the shielding machine and reduce labor intensity.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a copper strip feeding device for a shielding machine, including a track assembly 100 and a feeding assembly 200. Wherein, as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the track assembly 100 includes a first track 110 extending along a first direction and multiple tracks extending along a second direction, the first and second directions being perpendicular. The loading assembly 200 includes at least one robotic arm 210, each robotic arm 210 being movably mounted on a second track 120, and each robotic arm 210 being equipped with a suction cup 211 capable of adsorbing copper strips. Preferably, the second track 120 corresponds one-to-one with the robotic arm 210, and each robotic arm 210 is movably mounted on its corresponding second track 120.

[0038] It should be noted that the robotic arm 210 has two states: an unloaded state and a loaded state. In actual use, the copper strip is placed horizontally in the storage box. The operator moves the robotic arm 210 to the vicinity of the storage box, the suction cup 211 picks up the copper strip, and then rotates the suction cup 211, causing the copper strip to flip from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction. The robotic arm 210 switches from the unloaded state to the loaded state. The operator pushes the robotic arm 210, causing it to move along the track assembly 100, placing the copper strip on the storage shaft of the shielding machine 300. Then, the robotic arm 210 switches back to the unloaded state, and the above operation is repeated to complete the storage of multiple copper strips.

[0039] After the material is stored, the operator operates the robotic arm 210 to adsorb the copper strip at the storage end. After adsorption, the robotic arm 210 automatically switches to the load state. The operator operates the robotic arm 210 to place the copper strip on the wrapping head of the shielding machine 300. The robotic arm 210 then automatically switches to the no-load state, completing one feeding cycle.

[0040] For example, such as Figure 1As shown, in some specific embodiments, the shielding machine 300 includes six units arranged opposite to each other, namely the first shielding machine 310, the second shielding machine 320, the third shielding machine 330, the fourth shielding machine 340, the fifth shielding machine 350, and the sixth shielding machine 360. The robotic arm 210 includes three units, and the second track 120 includes three units disposed on the first track 110. One second track 120 is disposed between the first shielding machine 310 and the fourth shielding machine 340, another second track 120 is disposed between the second shielding machine 320 and the fifth shielding machine 350, and the third second track 120 is disposed between the third shielding machine 330 and the sixth shielding machine 360. Each robotic arm 210 is responsible for feeding copper strips onto two adjacent shielding machines 300. One robotic arm 210 feeds copper strips onto the first shielding machine 310 and the fourth shielding machine 340; the second robotic arm 210 feeds copper strips onto the second shielding machine 320 and the fifth shielding machine 350; and the third robotic arm 210 feeds copper strips onto the third shielding machine 330 and the sixth shielding machine 360. The operator moves the robotic arms 210 along the second track 120 and the first track 110 to feed copper strips onto each shielding machine 300. It should be noted that the number of shielding machines 300 and the specific number of robotic arms 210 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0041] The copper strip feeding device for the shielding machine disclosed in this embodiment of the utility model uses the suction cup 211 of the robotic arm 210 to pick up the copper strip. Then, the operator operates the robotic arm 210 to move along the second track 120 and the first track 110 to complete the copper strip feeding work of the shielding machine 300. This can improve the copper strip feeding efficiency of the shielding machine 300 and reduce labor intensity.

[0042] It should be noted that the second track 120 can move on the first track 110. It can be manually operated by the operator. For example, the first track 110 is equipped with a slide rail, and the second track 120 is equipped with rollers that cooperate with the slide rail. Of course, the second track 120 can also be driven by a drive motor to move along the first track 110.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-5As shown, the robotic arm 210 includes a suction cup 211, a moving part 212, a vertical arm 213, a parallel arm 214, a connecting arm 215, a terminal arm 216, and a first cylinder 217. The moving part 212 is movably mounted on the second track 120, which can be a traveling trolley. The vertical arm 213 is connected to the moving part 212 via a first rotary joint 221. The parallel arm 214 is hinged to the vertical arm 213. The first end of the connecting arm 215 is connected to the first end of the parallel arm 214 via a second rotary joint 222. The terminal arm 216 is connected to the second end of the connecting arm 215 via a third rotary joint 223. The suction cup 211 is mounted on the terminal arm 216. The cylinder body of the first cylinder 217 is connected to the vertical arm 213, and the piston rod of the first cylinder 217 is hinged to the second end of the parallel arm 214. The robotic arm 210 employs the lever principle. The first cylinder 217 is hinged to one end of the parallel arm 214, which can lift objects. The vertical arm 213 can rotate 360° around its own axis, as can the connecting arm 215 and the terminal arm 216. Specifically, the first rotary joint 221, the second rotary joint 222, and the third rotary joint 223 can all use slewing bearings or rotating shafts. Alternatively, a combination of a motor, gears, and slewing bearings can be used, referencing existing rotary joint structures.

[0044] In operation, the operator moves the robotic arm 210 to the copper strip placement position. The piston rod of the first cylinder 217 shortens, the left end of the parallel arm 214 rises, and the right end descends, adsorbing the copper strip through the suction cup 211. Then, the piston rod of the first cylinder 217 extends, the left end of the parallel arm 214 descends, and the right end rises, thereby lifting the copper strip. By pushing and pulling the robotic arm 210, the operator can move the robotic arm 210 along the second track 120. Depending on the specific position of the shielding machine 300, the second track 120 moves along the first track 110, allowing the robotic arm 210 to place the copper strip onto the shielding machine 300, completing the copper strip loading process.

[0045] It should be noted that each robotic arm 210 is equipped with an air tank, which can be connected to the first cylinder 217 or to the suction cup 211.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the parallel arm 214 includes a first parallel arm 2141 and a second parallel arm 2142 arranged in parallel. The first ends of the first parallel arm 2141 and the second parallel arm 2142 are both hinged to the connecting plate 218. The connecting plate 218 is connected to the connecting arm 215 through the second rotary joint 222. The second end of the first parallel arm 2141 is hinged to the vertical arm 213. The piston rod of the first cylinder 217 is hinged to the second end of the second parallel arm 2142. The second parallel arm 2142 is hinged to the vertical arm 213. Here, the hinge point of the second parallel arm 2142 and the vertical arm 213 is on the same straight line as the hinge point of the first parallel arm 2141 and the vertical arm 213, so that the first parallel arm 2141, the second parallel arm 2142, the vertical arm 213 and the connecting plate 218 form a parallelogram structure. It should be noted that the piston rod of the first cylinder 217 can also be hinged to the second end of the first parallel arm 2141, and the first parallel arm 2141 is hinged to the vertical arm 213 near the second end. The first parallel arm 2141 and the second parallel arm 2142 form a quadrilateral structure, which makes the structure more stable.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to prevent the rotational movements of the various lever arms from affecting each other, brake limiters 224 are provided at the first rotary joint 221, the second rotary joint 222 and the third rotary joint 223. Taking the brake limiting member 224 set at the first rotary joint 221 as an example, the brake limiting member 224 may include a brake cylinder, a ring set on the outer ring of the first rotary joint 221 (taking a slewing bearing as an example), and a clamping assembly. The cylinder body of the brake cylinder is fixed on the moving part 212. The clamping assembly includes two clamping members, with the ring located between the two clamping members. One clamping member is connected to the cylinder body of the cylinder through a bracket, and one end of the other clamping member is hinged to the piston rod of the brake cylinder, and the other end is hinged to the bracket. When the piston rod is extended, it can push the two clamping members to clamp the ring, that is, clamp the outer ring of the slewing bearing, so as to realize the braking function and limit the rotation of the vertical arm 213. When the piston rod is shortened, it can release the clamping plate from the slewing bearing and realize the rotation of the vertical arm 213. It should be noted that the specific structure of the brake limiter 224 described above is only an example. Other brake limiters 224 structures can also be used, such as brake pads and calipers. The calipers clamp the brake pads to stop the rotation, as long as the rotation of each rotating joint can be locked. For details, please refer to the specific structural composition of existing brake limiters 224.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, a suction cup driver 225 is mounted on the end arm 216 of the robotic arm 210. The suction cup driver 225 is connected to the suction cup 211 and can drive the suction cup 211 to rotate. Specifically, the suction cup driver 225 can be a drive motor, which includes a servo motor and a reducer. The output shaft of the reducer is connected to the suction cup 211. The suction cup driver 225 can adjust the rotation angle of the suction cup 211 according to the requirement of horizontal or vertical placement of the copper strip. Alternatively, the suction cup driver 225 can be a second cylinder. The cylinder body of the second cylinder is connected to the end arm 216, and the piston rod of the second cylinder is hinged to the suction cup 211.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a pneumatic control box 219 connected to the first cylinder 217 is provided on the vertical arm 213. The pneumatic control box 219 is used to control the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the first cylinder 217.

[0050] Furthermore, to facilitate the control of the movements of each arm of the robotic arm 210, an operating handle 220 is provided on the terminal arm 216. The operating handle 220 is equipped with a control panel and a lever. The pneumatic control box 219 and each brake limiter 224 are respectively connected to the control panel. Specifically, the control panel is equipped with buttons for controlling the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the first cylinder 217, the rotation of the vertical arm 213, the rotation of the connecting arm 215, the rotation of the terminal arm 216, the rotation of the suction cup 211, the suction of the copper strip, and the release of the copper strip, as well as buttons for controlling the braking and release of each brake limiter, to facilitate operation by the operator. The lever is provided to facilitate the operator to push the robotic arm 210.

[0051] Furthermore, in order to reduce damage to the copper strip, the suction cup 211 is provided with protective material, specifically a rubber sealing ring.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the track assembly 100 includes a plurality of spaced-apart support frames 130. Each support frame 130 includes a longitudinal beam 132 and a crossbeam 131 disposed between the longitudinal beams. A first track 110 is disposed on each crossbeam 131. The support frames 130 are preferably steel structure frames, and the configuration of the support frames 130 provides stable support for the track assembly 100. The first track 110 and the second track 120 are preferably aluminum alloy tracks.

[0053] It should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
