Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of eyeglasses accessory processing equipment, and in particular to a cap clamping mechanism and a cap feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Eyeglasses are a combination of lenses and frames, used to improve vision, protect the eyes, or for decorative purposes. Eyeglasses can correct various vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia, strabismus, or amblyopia. The frames include nose pads, which are welded together using a pipe and a mounting cap.

[0003] In traditional welding equipment, workers clamp the pipe and mounting cap accessories onto a fixture, and then use a spot welding machine to weld the pipe and mounting cap together to form the overall structure of the nose pad. This manual joining method is inefficient and produces low output, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0004] In view of this, the inventors have specifically designed a cap clamping mechanism and a cap feeding device, which leads to this invention. Utility Model Content

The locking cylinder drives the sliding rod to move forward, causing the locking component and the clamp rod to rotate, so that the upper part of the locking component approaches the welding base and presses down on the mounting cap on the welding base.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking component includes rotating rods disposed on both sides of the clamping rod, and a locking block disposed at one end of the two rotating rods and used to press down the mounting cap, wherein the locking block is located between the two rotating rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the welding seat includes a main body and protrusions disposed on the upper and lower end faces of the main body for placing the mounting cap.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic groove extends through the upper and lower end faces and one side wall, and a cylindrical or square hole is provided away from the side wall.

[0013] This utility model also provides a cap feeding device, which adopts a cap clamping mechanism. The feeding device further includes a worktable, a second vibrating plate disposed on the worktable for feeding caps, a lifting mechanism disposed on the worktable for moving the caps on the vibrating plate upward, and a gripping mechanism disposed on the worktable for moving the caps on the second vibrating plate to the clamping mechanism.

[0016] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting base, a lifting cylinder disposed on the lifting base with its output end facing upward, a lifting slider disposed on the output end of the lifting cylinder and slidably connected to the lifting base, and a lifting rod disposed on the lifting slider.

[0017] Furthermore, the feeding device also includes a moving mechanism for driving the clamping mechanism to move; the moving mechanism includes a third linear module on the worktable, a third moving motor on the third linear module, a moving base on the linear module, and a proximity cylinder on the moving base. The base plate is driven to move by the proximity cylinder, and the third moving motor drives the moving base to move along a straight line through the third linear module.

Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4This is a preferred embodiment of the mounting cap clamping mechanism, comprising a base plate 210, a support base 220 disposed on the base plate 210, a clamping rod 230 disposed on the support base 220, a welding seat 240 disposed on and detachably connected to the clamping rod 230, and a locking mechanism 250 for restricting the mounting cap 001 to the welding seat 240; the clamping rod 230 is provided with a first through hole 231 for mounting the welding seat 240, and the clamping rod 230 is also provided with an elastic groove 232 penetrating the upper and lower end faces and penetrating the first through hole 231, the inner sides of the elastic grooves 232 being close to each other to clamp the welding seat 240 within the first through hole 231. A U-shaped groove is provided above the support base 220, the clamping rod 230 is embedded in the U-shaped groove and locked and fixed by bolts.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 , 3 The locking mechanism 250 includes a locking base 251 disposed on the base plate 210, a locking cylinder 252 disposed on the locking base 251, a sliding rod 253 disposed on the support base 220 and slidably connected to the support base 220, and a locking member 254 disposed on the clamping rod 230 and rotatably connected to it. One end of the sliding rod 253 is driven by the locking cylinder 252 to make it slidably connected to the support base 220, and the other end of the sliding rod 253 is connected to the lower part of the locking member 254. The locking cylinder 252 drives the sliding rod 253 to move forward, causing the locking member 254 and the clamping rod 230 to rotate, so that the upper part of the locking member 254 approaches the welding seat 240 and presses the mounting cap 001 on the welding seat 240. A further configuration is provided: the locking component 254 includes rotating rods 2541 disposed on both sides of the clamping rod 230, and a locking block 2542 disposed at one end of the two rotating rods 2541 and used to press against the mounting cap 001. The locking block 2542 is located between the two rotating rods 2541. The two rotating rods 2541 are located on both sides of the clamping rod 230 and are installed by pins. After installation, the middle position of the two rotating rods 2541 is rotatably connected to the clamping rod 230. The lower part of the two rotating rods 2541 is connected to the sliding rod 253, and the rotating rods 2541 are provided with elongated holes. A bolt passes through the elongated holes and connects to the sliding rod 253 to limit the lower part of the rotating rods 2541. The upper locking block 2542 can also be fixedly connected by bolts.

[0039] Please see Figure 4In this embodiment, the welding seat 240 includes a main body 241 and protrusions 242 disposed on the upper and lower end faces of the main body 241 for placing the mounting cap 001.

The lifting cylinder 420 drives the lifting slider 430 and the lifting rod 440 to move upward, lifting the mounting cap 001 above the lifting rod 440 so that the gripping mechanism 500 can grip the mounting cap 001 on the lifting rod 440. The second vibrating plate 300 has a discharge guide rail, and the lifting mechanism 400 is located at the opening of the discharge guide rail. The lifting base is provided with a first sliding groove 411 for the movement of the lifting slider 430, and second sliding grooves 431 are provided on both sides of the lifting slider 430 to fit the first sliding groove 411. At the same time, the lifting base 410 is provided with a clearance groove for avoiding the movement of the lifting rod 440.

[0043] Please see Figure 8-12 The gripping mechanism 500 includes a first gripping base 510 disposed on the worktable 100, a first linear module 520 disposed on the first gripping base 510, a first moving motor 530 disposed on the first linear module 520, a second gripping base 540 disposed on the first linear module 520 and driven by the first moving motor 530, a second linear module disposed on the second gripping base 540, a second moving motor 550 disposed on the second linear module, and a second gripping base 560 disposed on the second linear module. A cylinder plate 560, driven by a second moving motor 550, sits on a base 540. A gripping cylinder 570 is mounted on the cylinder plate 560, and two grippers 580 are mounted on the gripping cylinder 570. The two grippers 580 cooperate to grip the mounting cap 001. A first moving motor 530, in conjunction with a first linear module 520, drives a first gripping base 510 to move along a linear direction (Y-axis). The second moving motor 550 drives the cylinder plate 560 to move vertically (Z-axis). Each gripper 580 includes a connecting portion 581 mounted on the gripping cylinder 570 and a clamping portion 582 located on one side of the connecting portion 581. The clamping portion 582 has a slot 5821, and a locking step 5822 that can be embedded into the mounting cap 001 is provided within the slot 5821. When the two grippers 580 are positioned opposite each other, the slots 5821 on the two grippers 580 are located on the inner side to facilitate clamping the mounting cap. Furthermore, the gripper 580 and the gripping cylinder 570 can be detachably connected by at least one bolt. The connecting part 581 is provided with a mounting groove 5811, and the output end of the gripping cylinder 570 is provided with a mounting step for embedding into the mounting groove 5811. After the mounting step is embedded in the mounting groove 5811, it is threadedly connected to the connecting part 581 by a bolt passing through the mounting step. That is, the mounting step is provided with a through hole, and the connecting part 581 is provided with an internal thread hole. The mounting groove 5811 allows for quick installation with only one bolt.

[0044] Please see Figure 9The feeding device also includes a moving mechanism 600 for driving the clamping mechanism to move. The moving mechanism 600 includes a third linear module 610 mounted on the worktable 100, a third moving motor 620 mounted on the third linear module 610, a moving base 630 mounted on the linear module, and a proximity cylinder 640 mounted on the moving base 630. The base plate 210 is driven to move by the proximity cylinder 640, and the third moving motor 620 drives the moving base 630 to move along a linear direction via the third linear module 610. The moving mechanism 600 drives the clamping mechanism to move along a linear direction, which is the X-axis direction. At the same time, the proximity cylinder 640 also drives the clamping mechanism to move along the X-axis direction, mainly to bring the mounting cap 001 on the clamping mechanism as close as possible to the clamping device 700, so that the cigarette rod and the mounting cap 001 fit tightly together. The third linear module 610 is mounted on the worktable 100 by several pads.

[0045] Please see Figure 5 The mounting cap 001 feeding device of this utility model is used in welding equipment. The welding equipment also includes a clamping device 700 for clamping the cigarette rod. The moving mechanism 600 moves the mounting cap 001 to the clamping device 700 to realize the welding of the cigarette rod and the mounting cap 001.

[0046] The working principle of the loading device for the mounting cap 001 of this utility model is as follows:

[0047] The second vibrating plate 300 vibrates the mounting caps 001, allowing the mounting caps 001 to be arranged sequentially on the discharge track in the desired direction. The lifting mechanism 400 lifts one mounting cap 001 upwards, causing it to detach from the discharge guide rail. Then, the first moving motor 530, in conjunction with the first linear module 520, drives the gripping cylinder 570 and the gripper 580 to approach the lifting mechanism 400 and position it above the lifting mechanism 400. The second moving motor 550 drives the gripping cylinder 570 and the gripper 580 to move downwards towards the mounting cap 001. The gripping cylinder 570 drives the two grippers 580 to approach and clamp the mounting cap 001. The second moving motor 550 drives the gripping cylinder 570 and the gripper 580 to move upwards. Machine 530, in conjunction with the first linear module 520, drives the gripping cylinder 570 and the gripper 580 to approach the clamping mechanism and position them above the clamping mechanism. The second moving motor 550 then operates again, driving the gripping cylinder 570 and the gripper 580 to move downwards towards the welding seat 240. The gripping cylinder 570 drives the two grippers 580 to move away. The first drive motor drives the gripping cylinder 570 and the gripper 580 to move upwards. The locking mechanism 250 operates, and the locking cylinder 252 pushes the sliding rod 253. Under the action of the lever principle, the clamping rod 230 presses down on the top of the mounting cap 001. Finally, the moving mechanism 600 operates, and the third moving motor 620, in conjunction with the third linear module 610, drives the entire clamping mechanism to approach the clamping device 700.

[0048] In summary, the mounting cap clamping mechanism of this utility model provides a welding seat for placing the mounting cap, and then a locking mechanism to fix the mounting cap. It also provides a mounting cap feeding device to achieve automatic feeding of the mounting cap. Specifically, a second vibrating plate arranges the mounting caps sequentially, and then a gripping mechanism grips them, eliminating the need for manual placement and replacing manual operation. This achieves automated feeding of mounting caps, while also reducing labor intensity and improving production efficiency.
