An automatic loading and unloading device for auxiliary material machines

Abstract

This utility model provides an automatic loading and unloading device for an auxiliary material machine, including a loading mechanism and an unloading mechanism. During loading, a slide rail drives a slider to move horizontally. When the slider moves to the material picking station, an industrial vision sensor detects the material on the feeding conveyor belt. When the material moves to the bottom of the fixed plate, the output end of a vertical cylinder extends, causing the fixed plate to move downwards, allowing a suction cup pair to pick up the material. The output end of the vertical cylinder retracts, and the slide rail drives the slider to move horizontally to the other end. When the slider moves to the unloading station, it pushes the output end of the cylinder to extend, causing the fixed plate to rotate 90°, thus rotating the material's direction by 90°. Then, the output end of the vertical cylinder extends again, causing the fixed plate to move downwards, allowing the suction cup pair to release the material. The output end of the vertical cylinder retracts, pushing the output end of the cylinder to retract.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary material machine technology, and in particular to an automatic loading and unloading device for auxiliary material machines. Background Technology

[0002] In existing production lines, when inspecting the adhesion of auxiliary materials by taking products out of the auxiliary material machine, manual loading and unloading are required. The product is manually taken out of the production line, the material head is cleaned during the measurement gap, and then placed into the auxiliary material machine. The product is then manually taken out of the auxiliary material machine to inspect the adhesion of auxiliary materials before being placed on the return line. Therefore, an automatic loading and unloading device for the auxiliary material machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address at least one of the aforementioned technical shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic loading and unloading device for an auxiliary material machine, comprising a loading mechanism and an unloading mechanism. The loading mechanism includes: a platform, a controller, a column, a first slide rail, a slider, a first vertical cylinder, a pushing cylinder, a fixed plate, a first suction cup, and an industrial vision sensor. The unloading mechanism includes a conveyor belt, a positioning plate, a second slide rail, a second slider, a vertical cylinder, grippers, a horizontal plate, a connecting rod, a second suction cup, a second controller, and a second platform. A controller is mounted on the platform, and a column is mounted on the platform. A first slide rail is mounted on the top of the column, and the slider of the first slide rail... A vertical cylinder is installed, and a push cylinder is installed at the output end of the vertical cylinder. A fixed plate is installed at the output end of the push cylinder. The fixed plate is rotatably connected to the output end of the vertical cylinder. At least four suction cups and an industrial vision sensor are installed on the fixed plate. A conveyor belt is installed on the equipment platform. A slide rail is installed across the conveyor belt via a vertical plate on the equipment platform. A controller is installed on the vertical plate. A positioning plate for material positioning is installed on the edge frame of the conveyor belt. A vertical cylinder is installed on the slider of the slide rail. A gripper for picking up materials is installed at the output end of the vertical cylinder.

[0004] Furthermore, the fixed plate is evenly provided with several arc-shaped grooves, which are distributed in a concentric circle manner, and the suction cup is installed on the arc-shaped grooves.

[0005] Furthermore, an audible and visual alarm is installed on the equipment platform.

[0006] Furthermore, the gripper includes a horizontal plate mounted on the output end of the vertical cylinder. The horizontal plate has several mounting holes evenly spaced, and two parallel connecting rods are mounted on the horizontal plate by bolts and nuts.

[0007] Furthermore, each connecting rod has a through groove in the middle, and two suction cups are installed inside each through groove.

[0008] Furthermore, an audible and visual alarm is installed on the second equipment platform. Beneficial effects

[0009] During loading, the slide rail drives the slider to move horizontally. When the slider moves to the material-picking station, the industrial vision sensor detects the material on the feeding conveyor belt. When the material reaches the bottom of the fixed plate, the output end of the vertical cylinder extends, causing the fixed plate to move downwards, allowing the suction cups to pick up the material. The output end of the vertical cylinder retracts, and the slide rail drives the slider to move horizontally to the other end. When the slider moves to the unloading station, it pushes the output end of the cylinder to extend, causing the fixed plate to rotate 90°, thus rotating the material's direction by 90°. Then, the output end of the vertical cylinder extends again, causing the fixed plate to move downwards, allowing the suction cups to release the material. The output end of the vertical cylinder retracts, pushing the output end of the cylinder to retract.

[0010] During the unloading process, the material is positioned on the conveyor belt by the blocking of the positioning plate. The slide rail two drives the slider two to move to the material picking station, so that the gripper is directly above the material. The output end of the vertical cylinder extends, so that the gripper picks up the material. The output end of the vertical cylinder retracts, the slide rail two drives the slider two to move to the unloading station, and the output end of the vertical cylinder extends, so that the gripper puts the material down.

[0011] The position of suction cup one can be adjusted by setting the arc groove. By installing suction cup one inside different arc grooves, the gap between suction cup one can be changed, thereby adapting to different materials.

[0012] When adjusting the horizontal size of the gripper, the horizontal size can be changed by altering the position of the two connecting rods mounted on the mounting holes, thus accommodating materials of different sizes. When adjusting the lateral size of the gripper, the lateral size can be changed by altering the gap between the two suction cups in the through groove, thus accommodating materials of different sizes.

[0013] The purpose, features, and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

A push cylinder 6 is installed at one end, and a fixed plate 7 is installed at the output end of the push cylinder 6. The fixed plate 7 is rotatably connected to the output end of the vertical cylinder 5. At least four suction cups 8 and an industrial vision sensor 9 are installed on the fixed plate 7. A conveyor belt 10 is installed on the equipment platform 15. A slide rail 11 spanning above the conveyor belt 10 is installed on the equipment platform 15 via a vertical plate.

A vertical cylinder 12 is installed on the slider 111 of the slide rail 11. A gripper 13 for picking up materials is installed at the output end of the vertical cylinder 12.

[0021] In practical implementation, during material loading, slide rail 4 drives slider 41 to move horizontally. When slider 41 moves to the material picking station, industrial vision sensor 9 detects the material on the feeding conveyor belt. When the material moves to the bottom of fixed plate 7, the output end of vertical cylinder 5 extends, causing fixed plate 7 to move downwards, allowing suction cup 8 to pick up the material. The output end of vertical cylinder 5 retracts, and slide rail 4 drives slider 41 to move horizontally to the other end. When slider 41 moves to the unloading station, it pushes the output end of cylinder 6 to extend, causing fixed plate 7 to rotate 90°, thus rotating the material's direction by 90°. Then, the output end of vertical cylinder 5 extends again, causing fixed plate 7 to move downwards, allowing suction cup 8 to lower the material. The output end of vertical cylinder 5 retracts, pushing the output end of cylinder 6 to retract as well.

[0022] During the unloading process, the material is positioned on the conveyor belt 10 by the blocking of the positioning plate 101. The slide rail 2 11 drives the slider 2 111 to move to the material picking station, so that the gripper 13 is directly above the material. The output end of the vertical cylinder 12 extends, so that the gripper 13 picks up the material. The output end of the vertical cylinder 12 retracts, the slide rail 2 11 drives the slider 2 111 to move to the unloading station, and the output end of the vertical cylinder 12 extends, so that the gripper 13 puts the material down.

[0023] Furthermore, the fixed plate 7 is evenly provided with several arc-shaped grooves, which are distributed in a concentric circle manner, and the suction cup 8 is installed on the arc-shaped grooves.

[0024] In practical implementation, the position of suction cup 8 can be adjusted by setting the arc groove. By installing suction cup 8 inside different arc grooves, the gap between suction cups 8 can be changed, thereby adapting to different materials.

[0025] Furthermore, an audible and visual alarm is installed on equipment platform 1.

[0026] In practice, when a malfunction occurs, an alarm will be triggered by sound and light.

[0027] Furthermore, the gripper 13 includes a horizontal plate 131 mounted on the output end of the vertical cylinder 12. The horizontal plate 131 has several mounting holes evenly distributed. Two parallel connecting rods 132 are mounted on the horizontal plate 131 by bolts and nuts.

[0028] In practice, when adjusting the horizontal size of the gripper 13, the horizontal size can be changed by changing the position of the two connecting rods 132 installed on the mounting hole, thereby adapting to materials of different sizes.

[0029] Furthermore, each of the connecting rods 132 has a through groove in the middle, and two suction cups 133 are installed inside each through groove.

[0030] In practice, when adjusting the lateral size of the gripper 13, the lateral size is changed by altering the gap between the two suction cups 133 in the through groove, thereby adapting to materials of different sizes.

[0031] Furthermore, an audible and visual alarm is installed on equipment platform 215.

[0032] In practice, when a malfunction occurs, an alarm will be triggered by sound and light.

[0033] Automation technology utilizes existing technologies.
