Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated assembly equipment technology, specifically to a fully automatic dual-station carrier buffer device. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and assembly of 3C digital products such as mobile phones and tablets, carriers are used to position and place the product casings. Then, conveyor belts transport the carriers to various workstations for assembly, facilitating product processing. To ensure the stability and accuracy of assembly, the deployment and transport of carriers must be smooth and reliable. Furthermore, since different equipment has different production cycles, to avoid congestion or material shortages, a buffer device is often installed between each piece of equipment to accommodate the varying production cycles.
[0003] Current caching devices mostly use single-station storage when caching or deploying carriers, which cannot simultaneously cache and deploy carriers. This can easily lead to carrier accumulation, affecting the efficiency of material delivery. Furthermore, carriers are prone to tilting during material delivery, causing them to fall off.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0026] refer to Figure 1-3The fully automatic dual-station carrier buffering device of this embodiment includes a frame 1. A first conveyor belt 2 is horizontally arranged inside the frame 1 for conveying carriers to be buffered. A second conveyor belt 3 is horizontally arranged on the side of the first conveyor belt 2 away from the inner side of the frame 1 for conveying carriers to be deployed. Several lifting mechanisms are arranged on both sides of the second conveyor belt 3 for supporting the carriers during deployment. A buffer hopper 4 is arranged in the middle of the other side of the first conveyor belt 2 for buffering the carriers. A pair of first... The conveying mechanism 6 is used to move the carrier. A pair of second conveying mechanisms 5 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the buffer silo 4 to transport the carrier into the buffer silo 4 or to remove the carrier from the buffer silo 4. The second conveyor belt 3 is arranged parallel to the first conveyor belt 2. The buffer silo 4 is rectangular. The side wall of the buffer silo 4 perpendicular to the flow direction of the first conveyor belt 2 is provided with an opening. Several partitions 401 are vertically fixedly connected inside the buffer silo 4. Several baffles 402 are horizontally arranged facing each other between the partitions 401 and the inner side wall of the buffer silo 4. When the carrier is being buffered, it moves along the first conveyor belt 2 to the bottom of the first transport mechanism 6. At this time, the first transport mechanism 6 transports the carrier, causing it to detach from the first conveyor belt 2. Then, the second transport mechanism 5 receives the carrier and transports it into the buffer hopper 4. The carrier is isolated and stored by the baffles 402 between the partitions 401. When the carrier is being placed, the second transport mechanism 5 takes the carrier out of the buffer hopper 4 and then the first transport mechanism 6 transports it to the top of the second conveyor belt 3. At this time, the lifting mechanism receives the carrier and places it on the surface of the second conveyor belt 3. The second conveyor belt 3 then transports it to the assembly station.
[0027] refer to Figure 7 The first transport mechanism 6 includes a first translation mechanism 601, which is horizontally positioned on the top inner side of the frame 1. The translation direction of the first translation mechanism 601 is perpendicular to the flow direction of the first conveyor belt 2. A first lifting mechanism 602 is vertically fixedly connected to the moving platform of the first translation mechanism 601. A pair of grippers 603 are symmetrically arranged on the lifting platform of the first lifting mechanism 602. When the first transport mechanism 6 is in operation, the first translation mechanism 601 drives the first lifting mechanism 602 and the grippers 603 to move directly above the carrier to be transported. At this time, the first lifting mechanism 602 drives the grippers 603 to move downward, clamping the carrier through the grippers 603. Then, the first lifting mechanism 602 resets, driving the carrier upward to detach from the first conveyor belt 2. Finally, the first translation mechanism 601 drives the carrier to move to the storage position.
[0028] refer to Figure 6The second conveying mechanism 5 includes a second translation mechanism 501, which is horizontally arranged at the top of the frame 1. A third translation mechanism 502 is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the frame 1, directly below the second translation mechanism 501. The translation directions of the third translation mechanism 502 and the second translation mechanism 501 are parallel to the first translation mechanism 601. A second lifting mechanism 503 is vertically arranged between the moving platforms of the third translation mechanism 502 and the second translation mechanism 501. A fourth translation mechanism 504 is horizontally arranged on the side of the moving platform of the second lifting mechanism 503 facing the opening of the buffer hopper 4. Several limiting baffles 505 are fixedly connected to the edge of the moving platform of the fourth translation mechanism 504. The translation direction of the fourth translation mechanism 504 is parallel to the baffle 402. When the second transport mechanism 5 operates, the second translation mechanism 501 and the third translation mechanism 502 drive the second lifting mechanism 503 and the fourth translation mechanism 504 to move to the bottom of the gripper 603, so that the moving platform of the fourth translation mechanism 504 is directly below the gripper 603. At this time, the first lifting mechanism 602 drives the gripper 603 and the carrier to move downward, placing the carrier on the top plate of the moving platform of the fourth translation mechanism 504. The limiting baffle 505 can keep the carrier in its storage position during placement, preventing it from tilting. After the moving platform of the fourth translation mechanism 504 receives the carrier, the second translation mechanism 501 and the third translation mechanism 502... The second lifting mechanism 503 and the fourth translation mechanism 504 are moved to the side of the buffer hopper 4, so that the moving platform of the fourth translation mechanism 504 is located in the middle between the adjacent partitions 401 inside the buffer hopper 4. Then, the second lifting mechanism 503 drives the fourth translation mechanism 504 and the carrier to move to the corresponding buffer height. At this time, the fourth translation mechanism 504 drives the carrier to move into the buffer hopper 4. After the carrier moves to the buffer position, the second lifting mechanism 503 drives the fourth translation mechanism 504 and the carrier to move downward until the carrier is supported by the baffles 402 on both sides and disengages from the fourth translation mechanism 504, thus realizing automatic buffering of the carrier.
[0029] refer to Figure 8 The buffer hopper 4 has a discharge port 7 on its side wall away from the first conveyor belt 2. Through the discharge port 7, some repaired vehicles can be manually placed inside the buffer hopper 4, and then placed at the corresponding height by the second handling mechanism 5, improving the flexibility of equipment use.
[0030] refer to Figure 4The lifting mechanism includes a pair of cylinders 8, which are vertically fixed on both sides of the second conveyor belt 3. The piston rod of the cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to a lifting frame 9. The width of the lifting frame 9 is greater than the width of the second conveyor belt 3. A top plate 10 is horizontally fixedly connected to the inner side of the lifting frame 9. Several positioning pins are fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 10. The width of the top plate 10 is less than the width of the second conveyor belt 3. When the lifting mechanism receives material, the first translation mechanism 601 moves the carrier to directly above the top plate 10. The cylinder 8 moves the lifting frame 9 and the top plate 10 upward to the receiving position. At this time, the first lifting mechanism 602 moves the gripper 603 and the carrier downward, so that the positioning pin at the top of the top plate 10 inserts into the bottom of the carrier to position the carrier. At this time, the gripper 603 is released, and the carrier is supported by the top plate 10. Then the cylinder 8 is reset, so that the lifting frame 9 and the carrier move downward. The lifting frame 9 and the top plate 10 move downward to the bottom of the second conveyor belt 3. During the downward movement of the carrier, its bottom contacts the top of the second conveyor belt 3 and stops moving until the positioning pin at the top of the top plate 10 disengages from the carrier. At this time, the carrier begins to flow with the second conveyor belt 3, completing the automatic feeding of the carrier.
[0031] Working principle: When buffering the carrier, the carrier moves with the first conveyor belt 2 to the bottom of the first transport mechanism 6, where it is transported. During transport, the first translation mechanism 601 drives the first lifting mechanism 602 and the gripper 603 to move directly above the carrier to be transported. At this time, the first lifting mechanism 602 drives the gripper 603 downward to clamp the carrier. Then, the first lifting mechanism 602 resets, driving the carrier upward to detach from the first conveyor belt 2. Finally, the first translation mechanism 601 drives the carrier to the storage position. Then, the second transport mechanism 5 receives the carrier. At this time, the second translation mechanism 501 and the third translation mechanism 502 drive the second lifting mechanism 503 and the fourth translation mechanism 504 to the bottom of the gripper 603, so that the moving platform of the fourth translation mechanism 504 is directly below the gripper 603. At this time, the first lifting mechanism 602 drives the gripper 603 and the carrier to move directly above the first lifting mechanism 602 and the first lifting mechanism 603 to the bottom of the first transport mechanism 603. The carrier moves downward and is placed on the top plate of the moving platform of the fourth translation mechanism 504. The limiting baffle 505 can keep the carrier in the storage position during placement to prevent it from tilting. After the moving platform of the fourth translation mechanism 504 receives the carrier, the second translation mechanism 501 and the third translation mechanism 502 drive the second lifting mechanism 503 and the fourth translation mechanism 504 to move to the side of the buffer bin 4, so that the moving platform of the fourth translation mechanism 504 is located in the middle between the adjacent partitions 401 inside the buffer bin 4. Then the second lifting mechanism 503 drives the fourth translation mechanism 504 and the carrier to move to the corresponding buffer height. At this time, the fourth translation mechanism 504 drives the carrier to move into the buffer bin 4. After the carrier moves to the buffer position, the second lifting mechanism 503 drives the fourth translation mechanism 504 and the carrier to move downward until the carrier is supported by the baffles 402 on both sides and disengages from the fourth translation mechanism 504, realizing automatic buffering of the carrier.
[0032] When the carrier is deployed, it is taken out of the buffer hopper 4 by the second conveying mechanism 5. The operation process of the second conveying mechanism 5 is the reverse of the above steps. Then, it is transported to the top of the second conveyor belt 3 by the first conveying mechanism 6. The operation process of the first conveying mechanism 6 is the reverse of the above steps. Finally, the carrier is received by the lifting mechanism. When the lifting mechanism receives the material, the first translation mechanism 601 moves the carrier to directly above the top plate 10. The cylinder 8 drives the lifting frame 9 and the top plate 10 to move upward to the receiving position. At this time, the first lifting mechanism 602 drives the gripper 603 and... The carrier moves downward, causing the positioning pin on the top of the top plate 10 to insert into the bottom of the carrier and position it. At this time, the gripper 603 releases, and the top plate 10 supports the carrier. Then, the cylinder 8 resets, causing the lifting frame 9 and the carrier to move downward. The lifting frame 9 and the top plate 10 move downward to the bottom of the second conveyor belt 3. As the carrier moves downward, its bottom contacts the top of the second conveyor belt 3 and stops moving until the positioning pin on the top of the top plate 10 disengages from the carrier. At this time, the carrier flows with the second conveyor belt 3 to the assembly station, completing the automatic feeding of the carrier.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be understood as being within the protection scope of the present invention.
