Detailed Implementation

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0034] First, combine Figures 1-8 This invention describes a frame-type material box conveying device according to an embodiment of the present invention, used for conveying empty material boxes and conveying material boxes filled with materials.

[0035] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a frame material box conveying device according to an embodiment of the present utility model is used to convey material boxes to a robotic arm device, including a frame 1, on which are provided: an empty material box assembly 2, a full material box assembly 3 and a positioning assembly 4;

[0036] The empty container assembly 2 includes: an empty container base plate 21 and a conveying mechanism;

[0037] The empty box base plate 21 is mounted on the frame 1, and the conveying mechanism is used to drive the empty box to move on the empty box base plate 21 to the gripping position of the robot arm.

[0038] The full material box assembly 3 includes: a full material base plate 31 and a friction slide rail 32;

[0039] A full material base plate 31 is mounted on the frame 1, and a friction slide rail 32 is mounted on the full material base plate 31. The friction slide rail 32 provides a track for the full material box to slide, so that when the robot arm device places material at the beginning end of the friction slide rail 32, it pushes the material on the friction slide rail 32 to the end of the friction slide rail 32.

[0040] Both the empty box base plate 21 and the full material base plate 31 are equipped with positioning components 4. The positioning component 4 on the empty box base plate 21 is located at the end of the conveying mechanism and is used to detect that the empty box is in the gripping position of the robot arm. The positioning component 4 on the full material base plate 31 is located at the end of the friction slide rail 32 and is used to detect that the full box on the full material base plate 31 has been loaded.

[0041] In this embodiment, the empty material box is placed on the empty box base plate 21. The conveying mechanism drives the empty material box to move on the empty box base plate 21, moving the empty material box to a position where the robot can grasp it. The empty material box will trigger the positioning component 4, so that the robot can grasp the empty material box and place the processed material into the empty material box. After the material box is full of material, the robot will place the full material box on the full material base plate 31. During the process of placing the full material box on the full material base plate 31, the full material box on the robot will push the full material box on the full material base plate 31 to slide on the friction slide rail 32, pushing the full material box on the full material base plate 31 towards the end of the friction slide rail 32. When the full material base plate 31 is full of full material boxes, the full material box located at the end of the friction slide rail 32 will trigger the positioning component 4.

[0042] like Figures 3-8 As shown, the positioning component 4 includes: positioning frame 41, sensing block 42, reset spring 43 and sensor 44.

[0043] The positioning frame 41 is connected to the empty box bottom plate 21 or the full material bottom plate 31. The sensing block 42 is rotatably connected to the positioning frame 41. The sensor 44 is located on the positioning frame 41. When the sensing block 42 is pushed by the material box and rotates, it can trigger the sensor 44. One end of the reset spring 43 is connected to the positioning frame 41 and the other end is connected to the sensing block 42, which is used to reset the sensing block 42.

[0044] The sensing block 42 includes a sensing part and a triggering part.

[0045] The sensing part and the triggering part are arranged vertically. The sensing part is located above the empty box bottom plate 21 or the full box bottom plate 31 and is arranged towards the material box on the empty box bottom plate 21 or the full box bottom plate 31. The triggering part is used to trigger the sensor 44 when the material box pushes the sensing part.

[0046] As the material box slides on the friction slide rail 32 or is driven to move by the conveying mechanism, the material box will push the sensing part of the sensing block 42, causing the sensing block 42 to rotate and the trigger part of the sensing block 42 to be in the detection position of the sensor 44. When the sensor 44 detects the trigger part, it will send a signal to the control system, causing the robot to grab an empty material box or stop placing a full material box into the full material box assembly 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, sensor 44 is a common device in the prior art, model Omron EE-SX954-R, and the control system used in conjunction with sensor 44 is a device in the prior art.

[0048] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the conveying mechanism includes: a drive motor 22, a belt 23, a drive pulley 24, two driven pulleys 25, a synchronous shaft 26, two synchronous pulleys 27, and a synchronous belt 28.

[0049] The drive motor 22 is located below the empty box bottom plate 21. The drive wheel 24 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 22. The two driven wheels 25 are located at both ends of the empty box bottom plate 21 respectively. The belt 23 is located on the drive wheel 24 and the two driven wheels 25. The belt 23 passes over the empty box bottom plate 21.

[0050] Synchronous shaft 26 is connected to driven wheel 25 located at the starting end of empty box bottom plate 21. Two synchronous wheels 27 are located at the two ends of empty box bottom plate 21 respectively. The synchronous wheel 27 located at the starting end of empty box bottom plate 21 is connected to synchronous shaft 26. Synchronous belt 28 is located on the two synchronous wheels 27.

[0051] The empty material box is placed on belt 23 and synchronous belt 28. The drive motor 22 drives the drive wheel 24 to rotate, the belt 23 causes the driven wheel 25 to rotate synchronously, and the synchronous shaft 26 causes the synchronous wheel 27 to rotate synchronously with the driven wheel 25, so that the belt 23 and synchronous belt 28 move synchronously to transport the empty material box.

[0052] like Figures 3-7 As shown, the frame material box conveying device also includes: adjustment component 5. Both the empty material box component 2 and the full material box component 3 are provided with adjustment component 5. The adjustment component 5 is adapted to adjust the space width on the empty material box component 2 and the full material box component 3 for placing the material box according to the width of the material box.

[0053] The adjustment assembly 5 includes: an adjustment slide rail 51, an adjustment slider 52, a material box baffle 53, and a locking element 54.

[0054] The adjusting slide rail 51 is set on the empty box bottom plate 21 or the full material bottom plate 31. The adjusting slider 52 is slidably set on the adjusting slide rail 51. The material box baffle 53 is set on the adjusting slider 52. The material box baffle 53 is located on the moving path of the material box. The adjusting slider 52 is used to adjust the distance between the material box baffle 53 and the frame 1. The locking member 54 is used to lock the adjusting slider 52.

[0055] Loosen the locking piece 54 and push the adjusting slider 52 to slide on the adjusting slide rail 51 to adjust the distance between the material box baffle 53 and the frame 1. Adjust the distance between the material box baffle 53 and the frame 1 according to the size of the material box being transported to prevent the material box from deviating during movement and causing the material box to detach, so that the frame material box conveying device can transport material boxes of different sizes.

[0056] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the frame 1 is provided with a side slide plate 11, which is set to correspond to the moving direction of the material box on the empty box bottom plate 21 and the full material bottom plate 31.

[0057] The side slide plate 11 can prevent the material box from contacting the frame 1. The contact between the side slide plate 11 and the material box can reduce friction and prevent damage to the material box.

[0058] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the empty box bottom plate 21 is provided with a first baffle 12, which is located at the beginning end of the empty box bottom plate 21, and the full box bottom plate 31 is provided with a second baffle 13, which is located at the end of the full box bottom plate 31.

[0059] The first baffle 12 can prevent the material box on the empty box base plate 21 from detaching, and the second baffle 13 can prevent the material box on the full material base plate 31 from sliding out from the end of the friction slide rail 32.

[0060] Above, refer to Figures 1-8 This invention describes a frame material box conveying device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism drives an empty material box to move on an empty box base plate 21, moving the empty material box to a position where a robotic arm can grasp it. The empty material box triggers the positioning component 4, causing the robotic arm to grasp the empty material box and place the processed material into it. After the material box is filled with material, the robotic arm places the full material box on a full material base plate 31. During the process of placing the full material box on the full material base plate 31, the full material box on the robotic arm pushes the full material box on the full material base plate 31 to slide on a friction slide rail 32, pushing the full material box on the full material base plate 31 toward the end of the friction slide rail 32. When the full material base plate 31 is full of full material boxes, the full material box located at the end of the friction slide rail 32 will trigger the positioning component 4, realizing automatic transportation of the material box and improving the transportation efficiency of the material box.
