Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automated assembly technology, and in particular relates to a novel reciprocating feeding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the automated assembly technology of industrial products is becoming increasingly mature. Most industrial products generally require the transportation of workpieces during the assembly process. However, the common reciprocating feeding mechanism is designed according to the specific workpiece product and can generally only meet the function of feeding the workpiece, making the workpiece move back and forth along a preset path. It cannot enable the workpiece to switch between feeding mechanisms. A structure that can transfer and switch workpieces is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a novel reciprocating feeding mechanism that solves the aforementioned problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a novel reciprocating feeding mechanism, including a frame, a feeding fixture vertically mounted on the frame, and a lifting fixture below the feeding fixture, with the axes of the feeding fixture and the lifting fixture in the same vertical plane, and a cavity fitted to the outer wall of the lifting fixture at the axis of the feeding fixture, the outer wall of the feeding fixture being fixedly connected to the through groove of the push block, and a product inserted into the upper end face of the feeding fixture.
[0005] Beneficial effects This utility model provides a novel reciprocating feeding mechanism, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art: 1. Since the cavity at the center of the loading fixture fits into the lifting fixture, during the upward movement of the lifting fixture, it can enter the cavity from the lower end face of the loading fixture and slide upward in the cavity. At this time, the upper end of the lifting fixture gradually passes through the upper surface of the loading fixture, and then the upper end of the lifting fixture contacts the product, thereby lifting the product upward and detaching it from the loading fixture, so that the product can be switched to other loading fixtures.

Detailed Implementation
[0011] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0012] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0013] Please see Figures 1-4 This invention provides a novel reciprocating feeding mechanism, comprising a frame 101, a feeding fixture 201 vertically mounted on the frame 101, and a lifting fixture 203 positioned below the feeding fixture 201. The axes of the feeding fixture 201 and the lifting fixture 203 are in the same vertical plane, and a cavity is provided at the axis of the feeding fixture 201 that fits against the outer wall of the lifting fixture 203. The outer wall of the feeding fixture 201 is fixedly connected to a through groove in a pusher block 202, and a product 204 is inserted into the upper end face of the feeding fixture 201. The pusher block 202 is slidably connected to the frame 101. The product 204 is cylindrical, and its lower surface is provided with a groove that allows the feeding fixture 201 to be inserted into it.
[0014] In the above embodiment, since the cavity at the axis of the feeding fixture 201 is attached to the lifting fixture 203, during the process of the lifting fixture 203 rising, it can enter the cavity from the lower end face of the feeding fixture 201 and slide upward in the cavity. At this time, the upper end of the lifting fixture 203 gradually passes through the upper surface of the feeding fixture 201, and then the upper end of the lifting fixture 203 contacts the product 204, thereby lifting the product 204 upward and making it detach from the feeding fixture 201, so as to facilitate the switching of the product 204 to other feeding fixtures 201.
[0015] Specifically, the frame 101 is provided with a cutting assembly for sliding the loading fixture 201 to directly above the lifting fixture 203. The cutting assembly includes a cutting cylinder 205, which is fixedly connected to the frame 101, and the output end of the cutting cylinder 205 is fixedly connected to the push block 202.
[0016] In the above embodiment, the user can start the cutting cylinder 205, so that the output end of the cutting cylinder 205 extends smoothly, and then pushes the push block 202 to move horizontally at a uniform speed. At this time, the loading fixture 201 begins to move toward the lifting fixture 203, and when the output end of the cutting cylinder 205 extends to the maximum extent, the loading fixture 201 moves to be coaxial with the lifting fixture 203.
[0017] Specifically, the cutting assembly also includes a feeding assembly for lifting the product 204 upwards. The feeding assembly includes a lifting cylinder 206, which is fixedly connected to the frame 101, and the output end of the lifting cylinder 206 is fixedly connected to the lifting fixture 203.
[0018] In the above embodiment, when the loading fixture 201 moves to be coaxial with the lifting fixture 203, the user starts the lifting cylinder 206, which pushes the lifting fixture 203 upward by the output end of the lifting cylinder 206, so that the lifting fixture 203 begins to contact the product 204 and lifts the product 204 upward.
[0019] Specifically, the frame 101 is provided with an anti-detachment component for positioning the workpiece. The anti-detachment component includes a product stop 207, which is disposed above the lifting fixture 203. The upper surface of the product stop 207 is provided with a through hole 208 extending to its lower surface, and the through hole 208 is coaxial with the lifting fixture 203.
[0020] Specifically, the inner diameter of the through hole 208 is smaller than the diameter of the lower surface of the product 204, and the inner diameter of the through hole 208 is larger than the diameter of the upper surface of the product 204.
[0021] Specifically, a pressing cylinder 209 is provided on the lower surface of the product stop 207, and the pressing cylinder 209 is fixedly connected to the frame 101. The output end of the pressing cylinder 209 is fixedly connected to the product stop 207.
[0022] In the above embodiment, after the feeding fixture 201 moves to be coaxial with the lifting fixture 203, the user should start the pressing cylinder 209. At this time, the product stop 207 fixedly connected to its output end begins to slide downward, so that the through hole 208 gradually fits onto the product 204. Since the inner diameter of the through hole 208 is smaller than the diameter of the lower surface of the product 204, the through hole 208 can press the product 204 tightly, thereby positioning the product 204 and preventing it from falling during the rising process. At the same time, during the process of the lifting fixture 203 lifting the product 204, the user should start the pressing cylinder 209 synchronously, so that the through hole 208 and the lifting fixture 203 slide upward synchronously.
[0023] Specifically, the frame 101 is provided with a clamping assembly for clamping the product 204. The clamping assembly includes a gripper cylinder 301, which is located on the side of the frame 101. The output end of the gripper cylinder 301 is symmetrically and fixedly connected with grippers 302, and both grippers 302 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 303 that fit against the outer wall of the product 204.
[0024] Specifically, the gripper cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to the Yamaha robot 304, which is vertically mounted on the side of the frame 101.
[0025] In the above embodiment, when the product 204 is lifted to the same horizontal plane as the two arc-shaped grooves 303 and is located between the two arc-shaped grooves 303, the user should activate the gripper cylinder 301, so that the gripper cylinder 301 drives the gripper 302 fixedly connected to its output end to grip the product 204. Since the arc-shaped grooves 303 are attached to the outer wall of the product 204, the positioning effect of the product 204 can be effectively increased. Then, the Yamaha robot 304 can be activated, so that the Yamaha robot 304 drives the gripped product 204 to move until the product 204 is moved above another loading fixture 201. At this time, the two grippers 302 can be moved in opposite directions to stop gripping the product 204. Then, the product 204 can fall onto the loading fixture 201 below it under its own gravity, thus completing the switching.
[0026] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0027] The term "fixed connection" as used in this application refers to a connection in which parts or components are fixed without any relative movement. This includes both detachable and non-detachable connections.
[0028] (1) Detachable connection: Components are fixed together using screws, splines, wedges, etc. This type of connection allows for disassembly during maintenance without damaging the parts. However, the specifications of the connectors used must be correct. (Such as the length of bolts, keys, and wedges), and tighten them properly.
[0029] (2) Non-removable connections: These mainly refer to welding, riveting, and tenon joints. Since disassembly requires forging, sawing, or oxy-acetylene cutting for repair or replacement, these parts generally cannot be reused. Furthermore, during connection, [the following should be noted]: Pay attention to process quality, technical testing, and remedial measures (such as correction, polishing, etc.).
[0030] The sliding connection referred to in this application means that the component can slide along a linear trajectory, and the hinge referred to in this application means that the component can rotate along an axial constraint.
[0031] In some cases, the sliding connection and hinge referred to in this application may also be damped, enabling the component to maintain in the desired position.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
