[0015] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides an automated device for pressing irregularly shaped buckles. In one embodiment, it includes a work frame 1, a housing 2, and a buckle feeding device 3. A pressing device 4 is installed on the work frame 1, and the housing 2 is arranged below the pressing device 4. A product carrying device 5 is also installed on the housing 2. The buckle feeding device 3 is arranged at one end near the housing 2. The product carrying device 5 includes a Y-axis translation mechanism 51 installed on the housing 2, a Y-axis translation plate 52 connected to the Y-axis translation mechanism 51, a carrying fixing frame installed on the Y-axis translation plate 52, and a first rotary drive mechanism installed on the carrying fixing frame. The first rotary drive mechanism also drives a rotating frame, and a product carrying fixture 53 is also installed on the rotating frame. A product pressing mechanism 54 is also installed on each side of the product carrying fixture 53 on the rotating frame.
[0016] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, the work frame 1 is a gantry frame, the pressing device 4 is installed on the crossbeam of the gantry frame, the chassis 2 is arranged between the two vertical frames of the gantry frame, the front of the chassis 2 is equipped with a control screen and related control buttons, and the bottom of the chassis 2 is equipped with foot cups. In order to improve work efficiency, the product carrying device 5 is provided with two sets. The Y-axis translation mechanism 51 of the product carrying device 5 can be a linear module. When the equipment is running, the product carrying device 5 can move in the Y-axis direction through the Y-axis translation mechanism 51, which can move the product to a suitable position below the pressing device 4. The first rotary drive mechanism can drive the rotating frame to rotate, so that the product on the product carrying fixture 53 can be adjusted to a suitable angle. The product pressing mechanism 54 presses and fixes the product during the pressing and buckling process to prevent the product from shaking and ensure the accuracy and stability of pressing.
[0017] Preferably, the support frame includes a first base plate 55 mounted on the top of the Y-axis translation plate 52, and a first vertical plate 56 is connected to each of the top ends of the first base plate 55; the first rotation drive mechanism includes a first rotary motor 57 mounted on one of the first vertical plates 56, and a first bearing mounted on the other first vertical plate 56; the rotation frame includes a support plate 58 arranged between the two first vertical plates 56, and a second vertical plate 59 is connected to each of the top ends of the support plate 58; one of the second vertical plates 59 is connected to the output shaft of the first rotary motor 57, and the other second vertical plate 59 is rotatably connected to the first vertical plate 56 via the first bearing; the product support fixture 53 is mounted on the support plate 58. The design of the support frame provides a stable mounting base for the first rotary drive mechanism and the rotary frame. The first rotary motor 57 and the first bearing are respectively mounted on a first vertical plate 56. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotary frame. The rotation of the motor drives the rotary frame to rotate, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the product on the product support fixture 53. The setting of the first bearing ensures the smooth rotation of the rotary frame and reduces friction and wear during the rotation process.
[0018] Meanwhile, the product clamping mechanism 54 includes a first fixing block 541 mounted on the support plate 58, a clamping cylinder 542 mounted on the first fixing block 541, and a clamping rod 543 connected to the output shaft of the clamping cylinder 542; one end of the clamping rod 543 extends above the product support fixture 53. Through the extension and retraction of the clamping cylinder 542, the clamping rod 543 moves up and down, thereby clamping and fixing the product. Preferably, a buffer pad is also provided at the bottom of the end of the clamping rod 543 extending above the product support fixture 53. The buffer pad acts as a buffer, preventing the clamping rod 543 from directly contacting the product and causing damage.
[0019] In one embodiment, the pressing device 4 includes an X-axis translation mechanism 41 mounted on the work frame 1, a Z-axis lifting mechanism 42 connected to the X-axis translation mechanism 41, a Z-axis lifting plate 43 connected to the Z-axis lifting mechanism 42, and a pressing mechanism 44 mounted on one side of the Z-axis lifting plate 43. In this embodiment, both the X-axis translation mechanism 41 and the Z-axis lifting mechanism 42 are linear modules. Through the cooperation of the X-axis translation mechanism 41 and the Z-axis lifting mechanism 42, the pressing mechanism 44 can be driven to move along the X-axis and Z-axis directions, thereby facilitating the pressing and fastening of the buckle.
[0020] Preferably, in this embodiment, a motor mounting plate 441 is also connected to one side of the Z-axis lifting plate 43, and a second bearing 442 is also mounted on the motor mounting plate 441; the pressing mechanism 44 includes a rotating sleeve 443, a second rotating motor 444, and a magnetic suction rod 445; the rotating sleeve 443 is arranged coaxially through the second bearing 442 and connected to the second bearing 442; the upper part of the magnetic suction rod 445 is connected to the rotating sleeve 443; the second rotating motor 444 is mounted on the motor mounting plate 441, and the output shaft of the second rotating motor 444 is also connected to a drive wheel 446; a driven wheel 447 is also mounted on the lower part of the rotating sleeve 443, and a synchronous belt 448 is connected between the driven wheel 447 and the drive wheel 446. The motor mounting plate 441 provides a mounting position for the second rotary motor 444 and the second bearing 442. The rotating sleeve 443 is connected to the second bearing 442, ensuring the smooth rotation of the rotating sleeve 443. The driving wheel 446 and the driven wheel 447 are connected by a synchronous belt 448, realizing the power transmission of the second rotary motor 444, which drives the rotating sleeve 443 to rotate, thereby driving the magnetic suction rod 445 to rotate. Then, the direction of the buckle is adjusted according to the pressing requirements. The buckle is made of metal material (such as iron). The magnetic suction rod 445 can pick up the buckle. Then, with the cooperation of the X-axis translation mechanism 41 and the Z-axis lifting mechanism 42, the buckle is pressed onto the product.
[0021] In one embodiment, the buckle feeding device 3 includes a feeding mounting frame 31, a vibratory feeder 32 mounted on the feeding mounting frame 31, a transmission track 33 communicating with the vibratory feeder 32, and a linear vibrator mounted at the bottom of the transmission track 33. One end of the transmission track 33 extends below the pressing device 4, and a material distribution mechanism is also arranged at one end of the transmission track 33. The buckle feeding device 3 uses the vibratory feeder 32 to initially separate and sort the buckles, and then transports them to the bottom of the pressing device 4 via the transmission track 33. The linear vibrator is installed at the bottom of the transmission track 33 to provide vibration power to the transmission track 33, enabling the buckles to move smoothly along the transmission track 33. The material distribution mechanism is located at one end of the transmission track 33, and moves the material distribution seat 34 by a material distribution translation cylinder to realize the material distribution action of the buckles. Preferably, the material distribution mechanism includes a material distribution mounting seat connected to one end of the transmission track 33. A material distribution translation cylinder is installed on the material distribution mounting base, and a material distribution seat 34 is connected to the material distribution translation cylinder. The material distribution translation cylinder drives the material distribution seat 34 to move in the vertical direction of the transmission track 33. When the material distribution seat 34 moves to the appropriate position, the material distribution notch 35 can receive the buckle on the transmission track 33 (the shape and size of the material distribution notch 35 match the shape and size of the buckle), ensuring that the buckle can smoothly enter the material distribution notch 35. Then, driven by the material distribution translation cylinder, it moves to the predetermined loading position and waits for the pressing mechanism 44 to pick it up.
[0022] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
