[0002] After the rail-drawing machine completes the rail-drawing operation, manual labor is required to collect the materials and load them into the material frame. Then, the material handler will handle the material turnover, and the materials will be manually placed one by one onto the conveyor belt of the hydraulic platform mold. The entire process relies entirely on manual operation, which not only requires a large investment of manpower, but also results in low efficiency in the connection between each process due to manual involvement, leading to extremely long production time. In the manual material placement stage, since the materials have left and right orientation requirements, manual operation is prone to confusion of the left and right orientation of the materials due to fatigue or negligence, which will adversely affect the processing accuracy and product quality of subsequent hydraulic stamping, welding hooks and other processes, resulting in an increase in the defect rate. At the same time, the simple manual material distribution method, in addition to the problems of high labor costs, low efficiency and easy confusion of orientation, also has the defect of slow material distribution speed, which cannot meet the pace of large-scale continuous production, seriously restricting the improvement of the overall efficiency and automation level of rail-drawing production.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] The following describes an embodiment of this utility model based on its overall structure.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a material distribution device for a mechanical arm that connects upper rails and pulls rails, including a rail-pulling machine body 1, a discharge conveyor belt mechanism 2, a mechanical arm carrier mechanism 3, a material storage mechanism 4, and a transition conveyor belt 5. The discharge conveyor belt mechanism 2 is located at the discharge point of the rail-pulling machine body 1, with the rail-pulling machine body 1 as the starting point for raw material output. Its discharge end is directly connected to the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 2, and the material processed by the rail-pulling machine can fall directly into the discharge conveyor belt. The material storage mechanism 4 is located on one side of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 2, and the mechanical arm carrier mechanism 3 is located at one end of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 2. The mechanical arm carrier mechanism 3 includes a mechanical arm body 31 and a magnetic gripping component 32 for adsorbing materials.

[0028] In a further embodiment, the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 2 includes a left-side fixed plate, a first pipe positioning block, a second pipe positioning block, a support block, and a pressure block that cooperate with each other. The pipe positioning block helps to limit the left boundary of the material on the conveyor belt, preventing material deviation. It is connected with a fixed seat and a support column made of aluminum profile to form a left-side fixed support structure. A passive shaft is installed on the middle support plate, a washer is fitted to the passive shaft, a passive roller is assembled at the passive shaft, and a sensing seat is set in the support plate area. The sensing seat is used to detect whether the material has reached the middle position. The first motor plate and the second motor plate are connected to the adjusting shaft via keys to connect the motor-related components. The right-side guide shaft is connected to the drive shaft. An extension support block is installed on the lower floating plate, and the floating rod is connected to the linear bearing mounted on the linear support. The bearing housing slides together, and the washer and stop block cooperate to limit the floating structure, forming a floating buffer structure. The floating rod achieves slight up-and-down / left-and-right sliding through the linear bearing, which can adapt to changes in material weight. A full material sensor is installed at the upper conveyor belt to detect whether the conveyor belt is full, and the passive shaft seat is used to support the passive shaft in the conveyor belt drive structure. The flat belt is laid on the main body of the conveyor belt, and aluminum profiles are used to construct part of the frame support structure. The bearings are assembled at the passive shaft, drive shaft and other shaft systems to achieve rotational support. Proximity switches are installed at the corresponding detection positions. The geared motor is connected to the drive shaft and other transmission components of the conveyor belt to provide power. The geared motor provides adjustable speed power to the drive shaft. The linear bearing is installed in the linear bearing housing and cooperates with the floating rod to achieve linear sliding.

[0029] The material storage mechanism 4 includes a frame 41, a linear guide rail 42, a material storage tube block 43, a material support 44, a first support block 45, a second support block 46, a slider plate 47, and a base plate 48. The frame 41 serves as the bottom support, and the base plate 48 is fixed to the top of the frame 41 by bolts and other fasteners, serving as the mounting reference surface for all components of the material storage mechanism 4.

[0030] The base plate 48 is fixed to the top of the frame 41. The base plate 48 is the basic support component of the material storage mechanism 4. The linear guide rail 42 is installed on the base plate 48. Two linear guide rails are installed parallel to the base plate 48. The material storage tube block 43 cooperates with the material support 44 and the two are connected to the first support block 45. After the material storage tube block 43 and the material support 44 are spliced, they are fixed to the first support block 45 by bolts. The second support block 46 is installed on the slider plate 47. The slider plate 47 slides on the linear guide rail 42. The detection corresponding position of the material storage mechanism 4 is provided with a sensor block. The setting of the sensor block realizes the dual functions of over-travel protection and full material warning, preventing the equipment from being damaged due to over-travel and avoiding blockage caused by excessive material accumulation, further improving the automation and safety of the device.

[0031] The magnetic gripping assembly 32 includes a protective cover 321, a cover plate 322, a cylinder 323, a mounting plate 324, a connecting block 325, and a magnetic plate 326. The protective cover 321 is located outside the mounting plate 324, the cover plate 322 is located at the front end of the protective cover 321, and the cylinder 323 is located at the rear of the mounting plate 324. The output end of the cylinder 323 is fixed to the magnetic plate 326 via the connecting block 325. The magnetic plate 326 is located inside the protective cover 321, and one end of the magnetic plate 326 is fixed to the connecting plate 327 via a guide rod 328. The guide rod 328 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 324. The robotic arm body 31 drives the magnetic suction component 32 to move above the material. The output shaft of the cylinder 323 extends and pushes the magnetic plate 326 towards the material (the guide rod 328 slides synchronously along the mounting plate 324 to ensure that the magnetic plate 326 moves smoothly). The magnetic plate 326 gets close to the material and attracts the material through magnetic force. The robotic arm body 31 moves to the target position, the output shaft of the cylinder 323 retracts, and drives the magnetic suction plate 326 away from the material, so that magnetic contact is achieved and the unloading operation is performed.

[0032] The transition conveyor belt 5 is provided with two channels, left and right, and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the robotic arm carrier mechanism 3. The dual-channel symmetrical layout can simultaneously handle the material distribution needs to the left and right, avoiding the waiting time when distributing materials through a single channel and improving the material distribution efficiency.

[0033] The working principle and process of a material distribution device for a rail-pulling robotic arm transitioning between left and right sides: After the rail-pulling machine body completes the rail-pulling operation, the material is conveyed to the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 2; the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 2 provides stable support through the left fixed support structure (fixed plate, pipe block, support block, pressure block, fixed seat, aluminum profile support column, etc.), the middle shaft system (passive shaft, passive roller, etc.) and the motor components (motor plate, key, adjusting shaft cooperation) realize power transmission and operation, the lower floating structure (floating plate, extension support block, floating rod, linear bearing seat, etc.) ensures the positional adaptability during material conveying, the upper full material sensor seat detects the full material status, and at the same time, the flat belt, bearing, geared motor, etc. work together to realize the stable conveying and discharge integration of materials. The material storage mechanism 4 on one side of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 2 cooperates with the material support 42 through the material storage pipe block 41 and the first support block 43. Next, the second support block 44 is installed on the slider plate 45, the base plate 46 serves as the basic support, and the sensing block 47 detects the storage status to assist in the temporary storage and orderly supply of materials. When the storage mechanism 4 is fully loaded, the magnetic gripping component 4 of the robotic arm carrier mechanism 3 starts to work: the cylinder 323 drives the connecting block 325, which drives the magnetic plate 326 to move inside the cover 321. The magnetic properties of the magnetic plate 326 are used to pick up the material on the upper rail. Then, the robotic arm body can rotate at any angle of 360 degrees and accurately place the picked-up material on the upper rail into the two symmetrical channels on the left and right sides of the transition conveyor belt 5 according to the left and right attributes. The transition conveyor belt 5 then orderly transports the material after left and right separation to the hydraulic platform mold. Subsequently, the welding hook operation is completed by the servo feeding mechanism. Finally, the relevant receiving mechanism picks up the material on the upper rail and attaches it to the material frame, thus completing the continuous workflow of the entire production line.
