Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of product processing technology, and in particular to a handling mechanism for product processing. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, product processing is the process of transforming raw materials or semi-finished products into finished products that meet specific requirements through a series of processing steps. The main steps include raw material preparation, preliminary processing, fine processing, assembly, surface treatment, and quality inspection. Product processing is widely used in manufacturing, construction, and food industries, and its importance lies in improving product performance and increasing added value.

[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN111547491B discloses a material handling system, including a collection device, a handling device, and a loading device. The collection device includes a distributing mechanism, a gathering mechanism, and a barcode scanning mechanism. The distributing mechanism is used to push materials in batches to the gathering mechanism, and the barcode scanning mechanism is used to scan the materials located on the distributing mechanism. The handling device includes a robotic arm and a gripping mechanism connected to the robotic arm. The gripping mechanism includes multiple grippers for gripping the materials, and the robotic arm is used to transport the materials in the gathering mechanism to the loading device.

[0004] In related technologies, the product is processed through multiple steps. After the product is processed at one workstation, it needs to be moved to the next step for further processing. During the product handling process, a robotic arm is required to handle the product at each step.

[0005] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that using a single robotic arm to grasp the product at each stage of the process, or operating multiple robotic arms simultaneously, would increase power consumption and thus raise operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a handling mechanism for product processing, which solves the technical problem that using a single robotic arm to grasp the product in each process and the simultaneous operation of multiple robotic arms will increase power consumption and thus increase operating costs.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A handling mechanism for product processing includes: a frame for supporting the handling mechanism; a picking rack slidably mounted on the frame, the picking rack having a suction nozzle for lifting products; a lifting assembly mounted on the frame for driving the picking rack to move vertically on the frame; and a sliding assembly mounted on the frame for driving the picking rack to move horizontally on the frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a cam and an adjusting rod. The cam is rotatably mounted on the frame, one end of the adjusting rod abuts against the cam, and the material handling rack is slidably mounted on the adjusting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting assembly also includes a lifting motor and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the frame, the cam is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the lifting motor is mounted on the frame. The lifting motor is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, a support wheel is rotatably mounted on one end of the adjusting rod, and the support wheel abuts against the cam.

[0011] Furthermore, a tension spring is provided between the frame and the adjusting rod, with one end of the tension spring connected to the frame and the other end connected to the adjusting rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a sliding motor and a screw. The sliding motor is mounted on the frame, the screw is rotatably mounted on the frame, and one end of the screw is connected to the sliding motor. A slider is provided on the frame, the slider is threadedly connected to the screw, and the material picker is connected to the slider.

[0013] Furthermore, the slider is provided with a connecting groove, and a guide wheel is rotatably mounted on the material picker, the guide wheel being embedded in the connecting groove.

[0014] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects of a handling mechanism for product processing: When products need to be transported, the lifting assembly drives the picking rack to descend, and the suction nozzles on the picking rack pick up the products. Then, the sliding assembly drives the picking rack to slide to the next process step. After that, the lifting assembly places the products on the workstation of the next process step. At the same time, during the descent of the lifting assembly, it picks up products from another workstation. Through the alternating picking and placing of the suction nozzles, the products are continuously transported in one direction, eliminating the need to use a separate robotic arm to grab the products in each process step. The single handling mechanism reduces power consumption, thereby reducing operating costs. The use of cams, adjusting rods, and tension springs improves the ease of raising and lowering the material handling rack on the frame. The convenience of sliding the material picker on the frame is improved by using a screw to drive the slider and by connecting the picker to the slider via a guide wheel. Attached Figure Description

[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0019] This application discloses a material handling mechanism for product processing.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 A material handling mechanism for product processing includes a frame 1, on which a material handling rack 2 is mounted. The material handling rack 2 is slidably mounted on the frame 1 and has a suction nozzle 21 that lifts the product. The frame 1 is equipped with a lifting assembly 3 and a sliding assembly 4. The lifting assembly 3 drives the material handling rack 2 to move up and down on the frame 1, and the sliding assembly 4 drives the material handling rack 2 to slide on the frame 1.

[0021] Reference Figure 2 In use, the lifting assembly 3 drives the picking rack 2 to slide up and down. When the picking rack 2 moves downward, the suction nozzle 21 on the picking rack picks up the product, and then the picking rack 2 rises. After that, the picking rack 2 rises under the action of the lifting assembly 3. The sliding assembly 4 drives the picking rack 2 to slide horizontally, so that the suction nozzle 21 that adsorbs the product moves to the next station.

[0022] The lifting assembly 3 includes a lifting motor 31 and a rotating shaft 32. The rotating shaft 32 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the lifting motor 31 is mounted on the frame 1. A drive wheel 33 is mounted on the output shaft of the lifting motor 31, and a driven wheel 331 is mounted on the rotating shaft 32. A conveyor belt 332 is provided between the drive wheel 33 and the driven wheel 331, and the conveyor belt 332 is sleeved on the drive wheel 33 and the driven wheel 331. In use, the lifting motor 31 drives the drive wheel 33 to rotate, and the drive wheel 33 drives the driven wheel 331 to rotate through the conveyor belt 332. During the rotation of the driven wheel 331, the rotating shaft 32 rotates on the frame 1.

[0023] A cam 34 is provided on the rotating shaft 32, and several cams 34 are spaced apart on the rotating shaft 32. In use, several cams 34 rotate with the rotating shaft 32. Each of the several cams 34 is correspondingly provided with an adjusting rod 35, which is vertically oriented and slidably mounted on the frame 1. Preferably, four cams 34 are spaced apart on the rotating shaft 32. One end of each of the four adjusting rods 35 extends towards the side closest to the cam 34, and a support wheel 351 is rotatably mounted on the end of each adjusting rod 35 near the cam 34. The support wheel 351 abuts against the cam 34. When the cam 34 rotates, the support wheel 351 on the adjusting rod 35 rotates along the cam 34, and the adjusting rod 35 moves vertically in the frame 1 as the cam 34 rotates. The material picker 2 is horizontally slidably mounted on the end of each of the four adjusting rods 35 away from the cam 34, so that the adjusting rods 35 can drive the material picker 2 to move vertically during movement.

[0024] To ensure that the support wheel 351 on the adjusting rod 35 always abuts against the cam 34, a tension spring 36 is provided between the adjusting rod 35 and the frame 1. One end of the tension spring 36 is connected to the frame 1, and the other end is connected to the adjusting rod 35. When the adjusting rod 35 moves upward, the tension spring 36 is in a stretched state, which improves the stability of the material handling frame 2 when the adjusting rod 35 moves up and down.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 The sliding assembly 4 includes a sliding motor 41 and a screw 42. The screw 42 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the sliding motor 41 is also mounted on the frame 1. The output shaft of the sliding motor 41 is connected to the screw 42, and the sliding motor 41 drives the screw 42 to rotate. A slider 43 is provided on the frame 1 and is slidably mounted on the frame 1. One end of the screw 42 passes through the slider 43, and the screw 42 and the slider 43 are threadedly connected. In use, the sliding motor 41 drives the screw 42 to rotate by reversing forward and reverse, so that the slider 43 can reciprocate along the axis of the screw 42.

[0026] A connecting groove 431 is formed on the slider 43, and a guide wheel 22 is provided on the picking rack 2. The guide wheel 22 is rotatably mounted on the picking rack 2 and is embedded in the connecting groove 431 of the slider 43. Due to the setting of the guide wheel 22, the picking rack 2 can move vertically on the frame 1, and at the same time, the picking rack 2 can also slide horizontally under the drive of the slider 43.

[0027] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
