Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of end plate loading, specifically to an end plate loading mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] End plates, as key connectors for electronic components or mechanical assemblies, are widely used in fields such as power batteries and precision instruments. The cleanliness of the adhesive on their surface directly affects the sealing and conductivity of subsequent assembly. Therefore, adhesive treatment is an important step in the production process to ensure product performance.

[0003] Existing endplate adhesive treatment is usually done manually. However, manual operation results in poor continuity of material handling, adhesive removal, and sorting. Processing a single endplate is time-consuming and difficult to adapt to the pace of high-speed production lines. In addition, the adhesive removal effect depends on human experience, which can easily lead to residual adhesive. Furthermore, visual inspection is highly subjective and has a high misjudgment rate, resulting in a high risk of defective products being released. At the same time, a single line requires 3-4 workers to operate continuously, resulting in a high proportion of labor costs. Therefore, we propose an endplate loading mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

An endplate NG material bin 12 and an endplate material bin 9 are respectively located on one side of the loading platform 1. A picking robot 11 is located between the endplate NG material bin 12 and the endplate material bin 9. A CCD detection mechanism 5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the loading platform 1. The robotic arm fixture 3 is a multi-axis linkage structure, which achieves precise three-dimensional spatial displacement through servo motor drive and is equipped with a programmable logic controller to coordinate the action timing. The picking robot 11 includes a rotary joint and a telescopic arm, and completes the endplate gripping and transfer by pneumatically driving the gripper. The CCD detection mechanism 5 consists of an industrial camera and a light source. It judges the residue by comparing the gray value of the adhesive area through image algorithm. The vacuum suction cup 17 generates suction through a negative pressure generator. The silicone suction cup is adapted to the curved surface of the endplate to ensure that the material is picked up without damage.

[0022] In this embodiment, movable brackets 10 are installed on the bottom surfaces of the end plate NG hopper 12 and the end plate hopper 9. Universal wheels 15 are fixedly installed on the bottom surfaces of the two movable brackets 10. Movable pushers 13 are fixedly connected to one side of each of the two movable brackets 10. Fixed brackets 7 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the discharge platform 1. Two sets of support bases 8 are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the fixed brackets 7. The movable brackets 10, universal wheels 15 and movable pushers 13 on the bottom surfaces of the end plate NG hopper 12 and the end plate hopper 9 enable the hoppers to be moved and their positions adjusted easily. In addition, the fixed brackets 7 and support bases 8 on the bottom surface of the discharge platform 1 can be used to stably support the discharge platform 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the vacuum suction cup 17. The upper surface of the connecting plate 16 is fixedly installed with the output end of the robotic arm fixture 3. A peeling adhesive mechanism 4 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the feeding platform 1. The peeling adhesive mechanism 4 is located above the back paper collection box 2. A robotic arm support 14 is provided between the end plate NG material bin 12 and the end plate material bin 9. The upper surface of the robotic arm support 14 is fixedly installed with the bottom end of the picking robotic arm 11.

[0024] Working principle: First, the robotic arm fixture 3 moves to the end plate hopper 9 and picks up the material through the vacuum suction cup 17. Then it moves to the adhesive tearing mechanism 4 to tear off the backing adhesive. The torn backing adhesive and backing paper automatically fall into the backing paper collection box 2. Then it moves to the detection area above the CCD detection mechanism 5 to detect whether the backing adhesive has been completely detached. According to the detection feedback, the backing adhesive that has been completely detached moves to the material release position 6, and the backing adhesive that has not been completely detached is placed into the end plate NG hopper 12.
