Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling equipment technology, specifically to a casting material handling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Many small castings require the movement of raw or finished parts during processing. Traditionally, this is done manually, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Currently, robotic arms are mostly used for handling and moving these parts.

[0003] A search revealed that prior art CN212193162U discloses a two-degree-of-freedom pneumatic handling robot, including a first base plate, a second base plate, a guide rod, a second linear bearing, a first mounting plate, a vertical cylinder, a second mounting plate, an ejection cylinder, a pawl mounting plate with a pawl, a rodless cylinder, a robot guide rod, a first linear bearing, a cable chain, a cable chain connecting plate, a guide rod mounting seat, a buffer, a cable chain mounting plate, and a buffer mounting plate. This utility model uses a cylinder as the driving means, and it is small in size, accurate in positioning, and easy to maintain.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned robotic arms have the following problems when used for material handling: the products being processed may have slight differences, which can easily lead to mixing of materials; the above-mentioned equipment cannot identify the parts being handled, which poses a great risk of mixing of materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a casting parts handling device to solve the problem that existing handling robots cannot identify the parts being handled, resulting in a high risk of material mixing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a casting material handling device, including a frame and an adjustment mechanism;

[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes a bearing housing, a mounting base, a transmission screw, a first servo motor, a moving frame, a mounting bracket, a second servo motor, a fixed plate, a CCD camera, a clamping device, and a guiding device. The bearing housing is fixed to the bottom of the frame, and the mounting base is mounted on the top of the frame. The transmission screw is rotatably connected to both the bearing housing and the mounting base, and its T-shaped nut is mounted on the moving frame. The first servo motor is detachably connected to the mounting base and is located on the top of the mounting base, with its output shaft connected to the transmission screw via a coupling. The mounting bracket is detachably connected to the moving frame and is located on the end of the moving frame away from the transmission screw. The second servo motor is mounted on the mounting bracket. The fixed plate is located on the upper side of the clamping device. The CCD camera is mounted on the fixed plate. The clamping device is located on one side of the second servo motor, and the guiding device is located on the side of the frame near the moving frame.

[0008] An alarm light is installed on the top of the frame.

[0009] The clamping device includes a rotating arm and a pneumatic manipulator. The rotating arm is connected to the output shaft of the second servo motor and is detachably connected to the fixed plate. The pneumatic manipulator is mounted on the rotating arm and located below the acquisition CCD camera.

[0010] The guiding device includes a T-shaped linear sliding bearing and a mating rod. The T-shaped linear sliding bearing is mounted on the frame and arranged symmetrically. The mating rod is fixedly connected to the movable frame and slidably connected to the T-shaped linear sliding bearing.

[0011] The casting handling equipment further includes a stabilizing mechanism, which includes a connecting seat and a guide frame. The connecting seat is detachably connected to the moving frame and is located on the side of the moving frame away from the acquisition CCD camera. The guide frame is detachably connected to the frame and is slidably connected to the connecting seat.

[0012] This utility model discloses a casting part handling device. During part handling, a clamping device clamps the parts. A first servo motor drives a transmission screw to rotate, and with the help of a guide device, the moving frame is vertically raised and lowered, thereby adjusting the vertical clamping position. A second servo motor drives the clamping device to rotate, allowing for placement angle adjustment. Simultaneously, before clamping, a CCD camera captures and collects image information of the parts, and the collected data is fed back to the controller for processing. If the parts are not of the same type as the products to be clamped, the clamping device will not clamp them, and the other working components of the equipment will not operate, avoiding material mixing. This solves the problem of existing handling robots being unable to identify the parts being handled, resulting in a high risk of material mixing. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, where Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the casting handling equipment. Figure 2This is a left view of a casting parts handling device. The present invention provides a casting parts handling device comprising a frame 101 and an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes a bearing seat 102, a mounting base 103, a transmission screw 104, a first servo motor 105, a moving frame 106, a mounting frame 107, a second servo motor 108, a fixing plate 109, a CCD camera 110, a clamping device, and a guiding device. The clamping device includes a rotating arm 112 and a pneumatic manipulator 113. The guiding device includes a T-shaped linear sliding bearing 114 and a mating rod 115. This solution addresses the problem that existing handling manipulators cannot verify the parts being handled, leading to a significant risk of material mixing. It is understood that this solution can reduce the occurrence of material mixing during parts handling.

[0021] In this embodiment, the frame 101 can be fixed with bolts. The corresponding cables and air pipes of the equipment all adopt a movable structure, thus facilitating movement or rotation without breakage.

[0022] The bearing housing 102 is fixed to the bottom of the frame 101, the mounting base 103 is mounted on the top of the frame 101, the transmission screw 104 is rotatably connected to the bearing housing 102 and the mounting base 103 respectively, and its T-shaped nut is mounted on the movable frame 106. The first servo motor 105 is detachably connected to the mounting base 103 and is located on the top of the mounting base 103, and its output shaft is connected to the transmission screw 104 through a coupling. The mounting frame 107 is detachably connected to the movable frame 106 and is located on the end of the movable frame 106 away from the transmission screw 104. The second servo motor 108 is mounted on the mounting frame 107. The fixing plate 109 is disposed on the upper side of the clamping device. The acquisition CCD camera 110 is mounted on the fixing plate 109. The clamping device is disposed on the side of the second servo motor 108. The guiding device is disposed on the side of the frame 101 near the movable frame 106. The bearing housing 102 is fixed by locating pins and bolts, and the mounting base 103 is fixed by locating pins and bolts, arranged from bottom to top. The top of the mounting base 103 has a rectangular cavity arranged from the rear to the front. The bottom of the rectangular cavity is used for the bearing of the top mounting end of the transmission screw 104, and the outer side of the top is used for the first servo motor 105 to be mounted by bolts. A rectangular plate is installed on the outer side of the rectangular cavity for sealing and isolation when the coupling rotates. The first servo motor 105 is equipped with a brake mechanism and an encoder for easy stopping, shaft locking, and position control. Its output shaft is connected to the transmission screw 104 through a rigid coupling. The T-shaped nut of the transmission screw 104 is mounted on the moving frame 106 by bolts. The mounting frame 107 is fixed by bolts arranged from bottom to top. The second servo motor 108 is equipped with a brake mechanism and an encoder for easy stopping, shaft locking, and rotation angle control, and is fixed by bolts. The acquisition CCD camera 110 is mounted on the fixed plate 109 by bolts. The clamping device is used for clamping and fixing parts, and the guiding device is used for guiding the moving frame 106 downwards.

[0023] Secondly, an alarm light 111 is provided on the top of the frame 101. When the image information acquired by the acquisition CCD camera 110 is found to be of the same type as the product after comparison, the device stops operating, and the alarm light 111 emits a flashing red light as a reminder. The alarm light 111 does not emit light when the device is operating normally.

[0024] Then, the rotating arm 112 is connected to the output shaft of the second servo motor 108 and detachably connected to the fixing plate 109; the pneumatic manipulator 113 is mounted on the rotating arm 112 and located below the acquisition CCD camera 110. The rotating arm 112 is tightened and fixed to the output shaft of the second servo motor 108 by positioning pins and multiple annularly spaced bolts. The fixing plate 109 is connected to the rotating arm 112 by bolts. The pneumatic manipulator 113 is fixed to the rotating arm 112 by bolts. When the casting is small, the pneumatic manipulator 113 can be a finger cylinder, and two magnetic switches can be set on its cylinder body for position detection, which is conducive to achieving automated control.

[0025] Finally, the T-shaped linear sliding bearing 114 is mounted on the frame 101 and arranged symmetrically; the mating rod 115 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 106 and slidably connected to the T-shaped linear sliding bearing 114. The T-shaped linear sliding bearing 114 is fixedly mounted on the frame 101 by bolts, and the bottom of the mating rod 115 is tightened to the movable frame 106 by a locating pin and multiple annularly spaced bolts, and slidably engages with the T-shaped linear sliding bearing 114.

[0026] When using this utility model to solve the problem that existing handling robots cannot confirm the parts being handled, resulting in a high risk of material mixing, the pneumatic robot 113 firstly clamps the parts during handling. The first servo motor 105 drives the transmission screw 104 to rotate, and with the help of the guide device, the moving frame 106 is vertically raised and lowered, thus adjusting the vertical clamping position of the pneumatic robot 113 to accommodate placement platforms or parts racks of different heights. The second servo motor 108 drives the rotating arm 112 and the clamping device to rotate, allowing for adjustment of the placement angle. Simultaneously, before clamping, the CCD camera 110 captures image information of the parts, and the collected data is fed back to the controller for processing. If the parts are not of the same type as the products to be clamped, the clamping device will not clamp them, and the other working components of the equipment will not operate, avoiding material mixing. This solves the problem that existing handling robots cannot confirm the parts being handled, resulting in a high risk of material mixing.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, where Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the casting part handling equipment. Based on the first embodiment, this utility model provides a casting part handling equipment, which also includes a stabilizing mechanism, including a connecting seat 201 and a guide frame 202.

[0029] The connecting seat 201 is detachably connected to the movable frame 106 and is located on the side of the movable frame 106 away from the acquisition CCD camera 110. The guide frame 202 is detachably connected to the frame 101 and slidably connected to the connecting seat 201. The connecting seat 201 is connected to the movable frame 106 by bolts. The guide frame 202 consists of a fixed frame and a limiting block. The rectangular plate at the top of the fixed frame is fixed by a positioning pin and bolts. An installation hole is provided on the connecting seat 201, and a T-shaped sliding sleeve is installed in the hole to slide and engage with the guide rod of the guide frame 202. The bottom of the guide rod is provided with a spline end for easy insertion into the spline cavity of the limiting block. The limiting block is fixed to the frame 101 by bolts.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the movable frame 106 moves vertically, the connecting seat 201 slides on the guide rod surface on the guide rod frame 202, which helps to improve the stability of the vertical lifting and lowering movement of the movable frame 106.
