Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conductive foam transfer technology, specifically a conductive foam adsorption and transfer robot. Background Technology
[0002] Conductive foam is a functional material that combines conductivity and cushioning properties. It is usually made of polyurethane foam, polyethylene foam, etc. as the base material, and a metal conductive layer is formed on or inside the foam through processes such as chemical deposition, electroplating, or spraying. In the production process, it needs to be transferred from the base material pretreatment station to the electroplating, spraying and other conductive layer processing stations, and then transferred to the cutting, forming and other post-processing stages to complete the complete production process.
[0003] When transferring conductive foam, in order to avoid damage to its conductive layer and performance failure, tools such as antistatic gloves and tweezers are used in conjunction with antistatic packaging bags for manual transfer. However, manual operation relies on the experience and concentration of the personnel. If you are not careful, improper gripping force of the tweezers may cause local crushing or deformation of the conductive layer, or accidental friction or collision of the packaging bag during the transfer process may cause wear to the conductive coating. To address this, we propose a conductive foam adsorption and transfer robot. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conductive foam adsorption and transfer robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a conductive foam adsorption and transfer robot, comprising two bases, columns fixedly connected to the surface of the bases, a frame fixedly connected to one side of the two columns close to each other, a servo motor fixedly connected to one end of the frame, a lead screw rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame, one end of the lead screw fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, a drive block threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw, a rectangular tube fixedly connected to the surface of the drive block, a pin slidably passing through the surface of the rectangular tube, a rectangular rod inserted into the inner wall of the rectangular tube, a plurality of circular holes opened on the surface of the rectangular rod, the size of the pin matching the size of the circular holes, a circular plate fixedly connected to the end of the rectangular rod away from the rectangular tube, a vacuum pump fixedly connected to the surface of the circular plate, a transmission pipe connected to the surface of the vacuum pump, two connecting boxes connected to the end of the transmission pipe away from the vacuum pump, a plurality of suction nozzles connected to the surface of the connecting boxes, and the suction nozzles fixedly connected to the other side of the circular plate.
[0006] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: by using a suction nozzle to achieve contactless transfer, it can avoid damage to the conductive layer caused by improper clamping force and coating wear caused by friction and collision, thus ensuring the quality stability of the conductive foam during the transfer process.
[0007] Preferably, a guide rod slides through the surface of the drive block, and both ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the surface of the frame.
[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is that the drive block slides along the surface of the guide rod when it moves, and the guide rod restricts the rotation of the drive block to ensure stable horizontal movement.
[0009] Preferably, a spring is fitted onto the arc surface of the pin, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the surface of the pin and the rectangular tube, respectively.
[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that the pin will be inserted into the corresponding round hole of the rectangular rod by means of the spring contraction force, and the spring will improve the stability of the pin inserted into the round hole.
[0011] Preferably, rectangular grooves are provided on both sides of the rectangular rod, and limiting arms are fixedly connected to both sides of the rectangular tube, with the other end of the limiting arm located inside the rectangular groove.
[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the rectangular rod moves, the limiting arm slides within the rectangular groove, and the limiting arm and the rectangular groove prevent the rectangular rod from falling out of the rectangular tube when adjusting the rectangular rod.
[0013] Preferably, a threaded rod is threaded into one end of the connecting box, and a baffle is rotatably connected to the end of the threaded rod located inside the connecting box.
[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the movement of the baffle changes the ventilation space inside the connection box. By adjusting the position of the baffle, excess suction nozzles are closed, preventing all suction nozzles from being fully open and some nozzles from being exposed to the air when adsorbing small conductive foam. This would cause the negative pressure inside the connection box to disperse, the overall adsorption force to decrease, and the conductive foam to be poorly adsorbed and fall off during transportation.
[0015] Preferably, the surface of the baffle is fitted with two sealing rings.
[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that the sealing ring on the surface of the baffle improves the airtightness of the fit between the baffle and the inner wall of the connecting box, thereby preventing air leakage.
[0017] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod away from the baffle, and a plurality of anti-slip stripes are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the handle.
[0018] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: rotating the handle causes the threaded rod to rotate threadedly within the connecting box, making the handle easy to rotate, and the anti-slip stripes on the surface of the handle further facilitate the rotation of the handle.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention features a system where, after the drive block moves the nozzle to a suitable position, the nozzle adheres to the surface of the conductive foam. Then, a vacuum pump is activated, drawing air from the connection box through a transmission pipe, creating negative pressure on the nozzle. This negative pressure firmly adheres the conductive foam to the nozzle, achieving contactless gripping and preventing damage to the conductive layer. After adsorption, the servo motor reverses, moving the conductive foam to the target workstation. Once the component with the adsorbed conductive foam is moved, the vacuum pump is turned off, the negative pressure on the nozzle disappears, and the conductive foam naturally falls to the target position, completing one transfer cycle. This contactless transfer avoids damage to the conductive layer caused by improper gripping force and coating wear caused by friction and collision, ensuring the quality stability of the conductive foam during transfer.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a conductive foam adsorption and transfer robot, comprising two bases 1, with columns 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the bases 1, and a frame 3 fixedly connected to one side of the two columns 2 that are close to each other. A servo motor 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the frame 3, and a lead screw 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 3. One end of the lead screw 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 4, and a drive block 6 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 5. A rectangular tube 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the drive block 6, and a pin 8 slides through the surface of the rectangular tube 7. A rectangular rod 9 is inserted into the inner wall of the rectangular tube 7, and several round holes 1 are formed on the surface of the rectangular rod 9. 0. The size of the pin 8 is adapted to the size of the circular hole 10. A circular plate 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the rectangular rod 9 away from the rectangular tube 7. A vacuum pump 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the circular plate 11. A transmission pipe 13 is connected to the surface of the vacuum pump 12. Two connecting boxes 14 are connected to the end of the transmission pipe 13 away from the vacuum pump 12. Several suction nozzles 15 are connected to the surface of the connecting box 14. The suction nozzles 15 are fixedly connected to the other side of the circular plate 11. By using the suction nozzles 15, non-contact transfer can be achieved, which can avoid damage to the conductive layer caused by improper clamping force and coating wear caused by friction and collision, and ensure the quality stability of the conductive foam during the transfer process.
[0024] Reference Figure 4-6As shown in this embodiment: a guide rod 16 slides through the surface of the drive block 6. Both ends of the guide rod 16 are fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 3. When the drive block 6 moves, it slides along the surface of the guide rod 16. The guide rod 16 restricts the rotation of the drive block 6, ensuring stable horizontal movement. A spring 17 is fitted on the arc surface of the pin 8. Both ends of the spring 17 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the pin 8 and the rectangular tube 7, respectively. The pin 8 will be inserted into the corresponding circular hole 10 of the rectangular rod 9 by means of the contraction force of the spring 17. The spring 17 improves the stability of the pin 8 inserted into the circular hole 10. Rectangular grooves 18 are provided on both sides of the rectangular rod 9. Limiting arms 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rectangular tube 7. The other end of the limiting arm 19 is located in the rectangular groove 18. When the rectangular rod 9 moves, the limiting arm 19 will slide in the rectangular groove 18. The limiting arm 19 and the rectangular groove 18 prevent the rectangular rod 9 from falling out of the rectangular tube 7 when adjusting it. A threaded rod 20 is threaded into one end of the connecting box 14. A baffle 21 is rotatably connected to the end of the threaded rod 20 inside the connecting box 14. Moving the baffle 21 alters the ventilation space inside the connecting box 14. By adjusting the position of the baffle 21, excess suction nozzles 15 are closed, preventing partial exposure of the suction nozzles 15 to air when adsorbing smaller conductive foam particles. This avoids negative pressure dispersion and reduced overall adsorption force within the connecting box 14, leading to weak adsorption of the conductive foam and potential detachment during transport. Two sealing rings 22 are fitted onto the surface of the baffle 21. These sealing rings 22 improve the airtightness of the fit between the baffle 21 and the inner wall of the connecting box 14, thus preventing air leakage. A handle 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 20 away from the baffle 21. Several anti-slip stripes are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the handle 23. Rotating the handle 23 causes the threaded rod 20 to rotate threadedly within the connecting box 14. The handle 23 facilitates rotation, and the anti-slip stripes on the surface of the handle 23 further facilitate rotation.
[0025] Working principle: When transferring conductive foam, first pull the pin 8. The pin 8 moves and slides inside the rectangular tube 7, gradually disengaging from the round hole 10. As the pin 8 moves, the spring 17 is stretched. After the pin 8 disengages from the round hole 10, the rectangular rod 9 slides up and down along the inner wall of the rectangular tube 7, adjusting the height of the round plate 11 and the adsorption assembly. As the rectangular rod 9 moves, the limiting arm 19 slides within the rectangular groove 18. The limiting arm 19 and the rectangular groove 18 prevent the rectangular rod 9 from falling out of the rectangular tube 7 during adjustment. Once the height is appropriate, release the pin 8. The pin 8 will then slide back down with the help of the spring... The spring 17 contracts and inserts into the corresponding hole 10 of the rectangular rod 9 to fix the height, adapting to the transfer requirements of different workstations. Then, the servo motor 4 is started, and its output end drives the lead screw 5 to rotate on the inner wall of the frame 3. Due to the thread engagement, the drive block 6 on the surface of the lead screw 5 will move along the axis of the lead screw 5. At the same time, the guide rod 16 restricts the rotation of the drive block 6 to ensure stable horizontal movement, thereby driving the subsequent adsorption components to move horizontally synchronously. When the drive block 6 drives the suction nozzle 15 to the appropriate position, the suction nozzle 15 is attached to the surface of the conductive foam. Then, the vacuum pump 12 is started, and the vacuum pump 12 transmits power through a transmission mechanism. The air in the connector box 14 is drawn out by the pipe 13, creating a negative pressure in the nozzle 15. The nozzle 15 adheres to the surface of the conductive foam, and the negative pressure firmly adheres the conductive foam to the nozzle 15, achieving contactless gripping and avoiding damage to the conductive layer. After adsorption, the servo motor 4 is reversed, thereby moving the conductive foam. After moving the component with the adsorbed conductive foam to the target station, the vacuum pump 12 is turned off, the negative pressure in the nozzle 15 disappears, and the conductive foam naturally falls to the target position, completing one transfer cycle. When smaller conductive foam needs to be adsorbed, the handle 23 is rotated to drive the threaded rod 20 to rotate within the connector box 14, causing the thread to... The baffle 21 at one end of the rod 20 moves within the connecting box 14. The movement of the baffle 21 changes the ventilation space inside the connecting box 14. The sealing ring 22 on the surface of the baffle 21 improves the airtightness of the fit between the baffle 21 and the inner wall of the connecting box 14, thereby preventing air leakage. By adjusting the position of the baffle 21, excess suction nozzles 15 are closed, preventing the suction nozzles 15 from being fully open and partially exposed to the air when adsorbing smaller conductive foam. This would cause the negative pressure inside the connecting box 14 to disperse, the overall adsorption force to decrease, and the conductive foam to be poorly adsorbed and fall off during transportation.
