Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated winding equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic tray sorting and unscrambling device for ultra-thin trays. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the finished product unloading stage of fully automatic winding and unloading machines, the existing hopper structure generally has many defects: when empty trays fall, multiple pieces are prone to fall at the same time, which can lead to tray jamming and tray stacking, causing equipment downtime; finished product trays are prone to slippage and misalignment during the stacking process, resulting in messy tray arrangement and affecting the flow of subsequent processes; in addition, some equipment uses multiple independent transfer drive mechanisms to complete empty tray feeding and finished product collection separately, which has a complex overall structure, high manufacturing cost, and poor synchronization and coordination between multiple mechanisms, directly affecting the continuous and stable operation of the equipment.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a material unloading hopper device that is simple in structure, reliable in operation, and capable of simultaneously achieving controlled descent of empty trays and anti-fallback storage of finished trays. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic tray splitting and unpacking device for ultra-thin trays, which can realize the controllable gravity dropping of ultra-thin empty trays from top to bottom, and the lifting and stacking of finished trays from bottom to top for storage and one-way anti-fall-back locking. At the same time, the tray transfer mechanism is linked with double lifting cylinders to complete the coordinated action of the whole process, simplifying the mechanical structure and improving the smoothness and automation of equipment operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic tray sorting and collecting device for ultra-thin trays, including a mounting base. An empty tray storage bin and a finished product tray collection bin are fixedly mounted on the mounting base. A tray transfer mechanism that moves laterally is provided inside the mounting base. An empty tray lifting cylinder assembly and a finished product tray lifting cylinder assembly are simultaneously fixedly mounted on the tray transfer mechanism. Double-sided material blocking cylinder assemblies are symmetrically arranged on the lower left and right sides of the empty tray storage bin. The inner wall of the finished product tray collection bin is provided with elastic locking blocks that allow unidirectional insertion from bottom to top.

[0006] Preferably, the empty material tray storage bin includes two sets of first bin frames arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and each of the four corners of the two sets of first bin frames is provided with a first guide and limit bracket for vertically guiding and limiting the stacked empty material trays.

[0007] Preferably, the dual-sided baffle cylinder assembly includes two sets of baffle cylinders and supporting baffles. One supporting baffle is fixedly installed on the inner piston rod end of one baffle cylinder, and the baffle cylinders on both sides are respectively fixed to the lower part of the first hopper frame on the corresponding side.

[0008] Preferably, both sets of the first hopper frame are provided with lifting tray assemblies on their inner sides. The lifting tray assembly includes a lifting cylinder, which is fixed to the inner side of the first hopper frame. The bottom protruding end of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, and the inner side of the mounting plate is provided with a receiving hook for supporting the empty tray.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting plate is connected to a positioning plate via a linear guide rail, and the receiving hook is fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning plate.

[0010] Preferably, the finished product tray storage compartment includes two sets of second compartment frames arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and a second guide limiting bracket is provided at each of the four corners of the two sets of second compartment frames. The elastic locking block is an elastic hinge structure and is arranged at the lower compartment opening position of the second compartment frame.

[0011] Preferably, the material tray transfer mechanism includes a servo transverse linear transfer module, a linear guide transmission pair, and a module slide mounting base; the servo transverse linear transfer module and the linear guide transmission pair are fixedly mounted on the mounting base in parallel, and the module slide mounting base is fixedly connected to the sliding end of the servo transverse linear transfer module and the sliding end of the linear guide transmission pair; the empty material tray lifting cylinder assembly and the finished material tray lifting cylinder assembly are both fixed on the module slide mounting base.

[0012] Preferably, the side of the servo transverse linear transfer module is provided with a cable chain protection mechanism for storing cables and air pipes.

[0013] Preferably, a waste hopper assembly located below the material tray working area is installed on one side of the mounting base.

[0014] Therefore, the beneficial effects of this utility model using the above-mentioned ultra-thin tray automatic tray separating and collecting device are as follows: (1) The empty material tray storage bin adopts a structure of alternating material blocking by double-sided material blocking cylinders, which can accurately control the empty material tray to fall piece by piece, thereby avoiding the problem of multiple pieces falling and material blockage from the root. The material falling is stable and reliable, and the cylinder timing can be adjusted to adapt to different production rhythms.

[0015] (2) The finished product tray storage compartment is equipped with a one-way elastic locking block, which realizes the one-way storage effect of the finished product tray only rising and not falling.

[0016] (3) The servo transverse linear transfer module simultaneously drives the empty material tray lifting cylinder assembly and the finished material tray lifting cylinder assembly to move horizontally, which greatly simplifies the overall structure, reduces manufacturing costs, and has high synchronization of action, significantly reducing equipment failure rate.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this utility model do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0023] Example 1: like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the ultra-thin material tray automatic tray separating and collecting device described in this embodiment includes a mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 serves as the overall installation support carrier, ensuring the overall structural rigidity and operational stability of the device. An empty material tray storage bin 2 and a finished material tray collecting bin 3 are fixedly installed on the mounting base 1. These two bins are positioned at corresponding workstations, enabling independent operation of empty material tray storage and finished material tray collection, with clear process logic and no interference between them.

[0024] A material tray transfer mechanism 4 is provided in the middle of the mounting base 1. The material tray transfer mechanism 4 can move back and forth in the lateral direction. An empty material tray lifting cylinder assembly 44 and a finished material tray lifting cylinder assembly 45 are synchronously fixed on the material tray transfer mechanism 4. The two sets of lifting cylinders move laterally with the material tray transfer mechanism 4 to complete the empty tray picking and finished product feeding operations in a coordinated manner.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the empty material tray storage bin 2 is used for vertically stacking empty material trays. The empty material trays can autonomously drop from top to bottom by their own weight. The empty material tray storage bin 2 includes two sets of first bin frames 21 arranged symmetrically on the left and right. Each of the four corners of the two sets of first bin frames 21 is equipped with a first guide and limiting bracket 24 to vertically guide and limit the stacked empty material trays, ensuring accurate positioning of the empty material trays during the falling process and preventing the trays from shifting or getting stuck.

[0026] The lower part of the first hopper frame 21 is symmetrically equipped with a double-sided baffle cylinder assembly 23. The double-sided baffle cylinder assembly 23 includes a baffle cylinder 231 and a support baffle 232. The support baffle 232 is installed at the end of the piston rod inside the baffle cylinder 231. The baffle cylinders 231 on both sides are pneumatically driven to alternately extend and retract, releasing only one empty material tray at a time so that it falls downwards. This avoids the hopper jamming and material blockage caused by multiple material trays falling simultaneously from the structural source.

[0027] Both sets of first bin frames 21 are equipped with lifting tray assemblies 22 on their inner sides to provide temporary support and positioning for falling empty trays. The lifting tray assembly 22 includes two sets of lifting cylinders 221 fixed to the inner sides of the two sets of first bin frames 21. Each lifting cylinder 221 has a mounting plate 222 fixed to its bottom protruding end. The bottom of the mounting plate 222 is connected to a positioning plate 224 via a linear guide rail 223. The inner sides of the positioning plates 224 on both sides are provided with receiving hooks 225 to hold the falling empty tray, thereby achieving material drop buffering and temporary positioning.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the finished product tray storage compartment 3 is used to centrally store and place fully loaded trays of completed winding workpieces. It includes a second compartment frame 31, and a second guide and limiting bracket 33 is provided on the inner wall of the second compartment frame 31 to guide and constrain the finished product trays as they are lifted into the compartment. An elastic locking block 32 is integrated at the lower compartment opening of the second compartment frame 31. The elastic locking block 32 adopts an elastic hinge structure. When the finished product tray is lifted into the compartment, the block can be elastically opened and closed by being squeezed outward by the tray. When the tray loses its lifting power and tends to slide downward, the elastic locking block 32 automatically rebounds and locks itself, realizing one-way entry of the finished product trays into the compartment and preventing them from falling off and being stacked.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the material tray transfer mechanism 4 includes a servo transverse linear transfer module 41, a linear guide transmission pair 42, and a module slide mounting base 43. The servo transverse linear transfer module 41 and the linear guide transmission pair 42 are fixedly mounted parallel to each other on the mounting base 1. The module slide mounting base 43 is simultaneously fixedly connected to the sliding end of the servo transverse linear transfer module 41 and the sliding end of the linear guide transmission pair 42. The linear guide transmission pair 42 ensures the motion accuracy and smoothness of transverse transfer. The empty material tray lifting cylinder assembly 44 and the finished material tray lifting cylinder assembly 45 are both fixedly mounted on the module slide mounting base 43. They move laterally synchronously with the slide, matching the action sequence of the empty material tray storage bin 2 and the finished material tray receiving bin 3 respectively, realizing dual-station collaborative operation and reducing equipment standby time.

[0030] The side of the servo transverse linear transfer module 41 is equipped with a cable chain protection mechanism 46 to protect and organize the cables and air pipes of the module and cylinder, and to prevent the cables from being pulled and damaged during the movement.

[0031] In addition, a waste hopper assembly 5 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 1, below the corresponding material tray working area. It can collect the waste generated during the winding and tray placement process, realize the centralized drainage of waste, prevent the accumulation of waste from affecting the operation of the equipment, and keep the working area clean.

[0032] This device can be used in conjunction with a high-precision fine-diameter coil mechanical winding forming device. Especially when it is adapted to a fully automatic winding and unloading machine, the overall cycle time matching degree is the highest and the work station docking is the most precise, completely connecting the entire production line process from precision winding forming to automatic unloading and unloading to finished product collection and warehousing.

[0033] The specific workflow of this device is as follows: Initial storage state: Multiple empty material trays are stacked and placed into the empty material tray storage bin 2. The material blocking cylinders 231 on both sides extend outward simultaneously, and the supporting baffle 232 supports the bottom empty material tray from the bottom, suspending the entire stack of material trays in the air, so that the material trays remain stationary and do not fall.

[0034] Single-piece material feeding: When material needs to be supplied, the two side blocking cylinders 231 alternately extend and retract: the single-side blocking cylinder 231 first retracts inward, releasing the single-side support, and the material tray sinks on one side; after a short time interval, the blocking cylinder 231 on that side extends again, and the blocking cylinder 231 on the other side retracts simultaneously; after completing one alternating cycle, the bottom single empty material tray loses all support and falls vertically by gravity, while the remaining material tray above is supported and locked by the re-extended blocking cylinder 231, realizing controllable single-piece material feeding.

[0035] Empty tray receiving and transfer: The tray transfer mechanism 4 moves laterally to below the empty tray storage bin 2, and the empty tray lifting cylinder assembly 44 extends upward to accurately receive the falling empty tray; then the servo lateral linear transfer module 41 drives the slide table to move laterally, transporting the empty tray to the winding forming station to receive the wound coil workpiece.

[0036] Finished product collection and storage: After the coil is placed on the tray, the tray transfer mechanism 4 moves the fully loaded finished product tray laterally to the bottom of the finished product tray storage bin 3; the finished product tray lifting cylinder assembly 45 lifts upward, pushing the finished product tray upward into the storage bin opening. The tray squeezes the elastic locking block 32 to make it move outward. After the tray is completely inside the bin, the elastic locking block 32 springs back inward, locking and locking from the bottom edge of the tray; then the lifting cylinder resets and falls back down, and the finished product tray is stably locked in the storage bin and will not slide down.

[0037] Cyclic operation: After all the lifting cylinder components retract, the material tray transfer mechanism 4 returns to the bottom of the empty material tray storage bin 2 and enters the next working cycle, continuously realizing automated tray unloading.

[0038] Therefore, this utility model adopts the above-mentioned ultra-thin material tray automatic tray splitting and unloading device. Through the cooperation of servo precision transfer, dual cylinder coordinated lifting, alternating gravity unloading and unidirectional anti-fallback stop structure, it can form a complete automated production line closed loop operation with the front-end precision winding equipment. It can automatically and stably complete the entire process of coil tray unloading. The structure is compact and reliable, and highly adaptable to the industrial mass production needs of high-precision fine wire diameter coils.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
