Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a workpiece transfer device, and more particularly to a foam transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] During the product manufacturing process, the product casing is usually placed in a tooling. To complete the product assembly, foam needs to be attached to the product casing inside the tooling.

[0003] In the past, attaching foam mainly relied on manual methods, using tweezers to hold the foam and attach it to the product shell. However, manual operation has low precision and is prone to producing defective products. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a foam transfer device to improve the efficiency of foam bonding and reduce the generation of defective products.

[0005] A foam transfer device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a frame, a conveying mechanism, a transfer mechanism, and a vision inspection mechanism. The frame is provided with a material picking station; the conveying mechanism is located on the frame and is used to convey release paper with foam pasted onto it to the material picking station; the transfer mechanism is located on the frame, and its actuator is equipped with an adsorber, which is used to drive the adsorber to move between the material picking station and a fixture, and the adsorber is used to adsorb or release the foam on the release paper; the vision inspection mechanism is located on the frame, in front of the material picking station, and is used to detect the foam adsorbed by the adsorber.

[0006] It has at least the following beneficial effects: The conveying mechanism transports the release paper for attaching foam along a predetermined path, enabling it to reach the picking station. There, the suction device of the transfer mechanism stably picks up and transfers the foam, achieving mechanized transfer and attachment. Attachment simply requires downward pressure from the transfer mechanism to stick the foam onto the product casing. Furthermore, a vision inspection mechanism positioned in front of the picking station performs image recognition on the adsorbed foam; defective foam is discarded, ensuring that every attached foam is of good quality and undamaged. This solves the accuracy and quality inspection problems caused by manual operation.

[0007] According to some embodiments of this utility model, it also includes a material pick-up guide plate, which is disposed on the material pick-up station of the frame. The conveying mechanism includes a material roller, a tension roller, and a take-up roller. The material roller, tension roller, and take-up roller are all rotatably disposed on the frame. The material roller is used to load the release paper roll with foam pasted on it. The take-up roller is used to take up the release paper with the foam pasted on it. The tension roller and the material pick-up guide plate are disposed on the travel path of the release paper. The material pick-up guide plate is disposed in front of the tension roller. The tension roller is used to tension the release paper with foam pasted on it. The material pick-up guide plate is used to support the release paper with foam pasted on it. The release paper with the foam pasted on it can bypass the front end of the material pick-up guide plate and be taken up by the take-up roller.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, two spacer rings are sleeved on the tension roller. The two spacer rings are distributed at intervals along the axial direction of the tension roller, and a guide channel is defined between the two spacer rings. The guide channel is used to pass the release paper.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of tension rollers are provided, and release paper is alternately wound on adjacent tension rollers.

[0010] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the execution end of the transfer mechanism is equipped with a detection camera, which is located in front of the adsorber and is used to take pictures to detect the position of the foam at the material handling station.

[0011] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a waste box is also included, which is disposed between the material handling station and the tooling, and is used to load unqualified foam.

[0012] According to some embodiments of this utility model, it also includes a constraint plate, which is connected to the frame and positioned above the material pick-up guide plate. A constraint channel is defined between the constraint plate and the material pick-up guide plate, allowing the release paper with attached foam to pass through the constraint channel.

[0013] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the visual inspection mechanism is a CCD camera.

[0014] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the transfer mechanism is a three-axis moving module.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model discloses a foam transfer device, including a frame 100, a conveying mechanism 200, a transfer mechanism 300, and a vision inspection mechanism 400. The frame 100 is provided with a material picking station 110; the conveying mechanism 200 is located on the frame 100 and is used to convey release paper with foam pasted on to the material picking station 110; the transfer mechanism 300 is located on the frame 100, and its actuating end is provided with an adsorber 310, which is used to drive the adsorber 310 to move between the material picking station 110 and a tooling, and the adsorber 310 is used to adsorb or release the foam on the release paper; the vision inspection mechanism 400 is located on the frame 100 and is positioned in front of the material picking station 110, and is used to detect the foam adsorbed by the adsorber 310.

[0021] It should be noted that the conveying mechanism 200 transports the release paper for attaching foam along a predetermined path, enabling it to reach the picking station 110. In conjunction with the suction device 310 of the transfer mechanism 300, the foam is stably adsorbed, grasped, and spatially transferred, achieving mechanized transfer and attachment of the foam. Attachment only requires the transfer mechanism 300 to apply downward pressure to adhere the foam to the product casing. Furthermore, the vision inspection mechanism 400, located in front of the picking station 110, performs image recognition on the adsorbed foam. Defective foam is discarded, ensuring that each attached foam is of good quality and undamaged, thus solving the problems of inaccuracy and missed product quality inspections caused by manual operation.

[0022] In some embodiments, a material pick-up guide plate 120 is also included. The material pick-up guide plate 120 is disposed on the material pick-up station 110 of the frame 100. The conveying mechanism 200 includes a material roller 210, a tension roller 220, and a take-up roller 230. The material roller 210, tension roller 220, and take-up roller 230 are all rotatably disposed on the frame 100. The material roller 210 is used to load the release paper roll with foam attached. The take-up roller 230 is used to take up the release paper with the foam removed. The tension roller 220 and the material pick-up guide plate 120 are disposed on the travel path of the release paper. The material pick-up guide plate 120 is disposed in front of the tension roller 220. The tension roller 220 is used to tension the release paper with foam attached. The material pick-up guide plate 120 is used to support the release paper with foam attached. The release paper with the foam removed can bypass the front end of the material pick-up guide plate 120 and be taken up by the take-up roller 230. Understandably, the purpose of the material guide plate 120 is to facilitate the suction device 310 in removing the foam from the release paper. The foam is installed inside the product casing and is adhered to the release paper before being removed. The side of the foam in contact with the release paper has adhesive. When the suction device 310 picks up the foam, it can be adhered to the product casing. The so-called foam refers to a workpiece made of foam.

[0023] In some embodiments, two spacer rings 221 are sleeved on the tension roller 220. The two spacer rings 221 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the tension roller 220, and a guide channel 222 is defined between the two spacer rings 221 for the passage of release paper. It is understood that the spacer rings 221 can be adjusted axially on the tension roller 220, and can be adjusted according to the width of the release paper to accommodate release paper of different widths.

[0024] In some embodiments, a plurality of tension rollers 220 are provided, and release paper is alternately wound on adjacent tension rollers 220. It is understood that the plurality of tension rollers 220 are distributed between the feed guide plate 120 and the feed roller 210, and the release paper is alternately wound on the tension rollers 220.

[0025] In some embodiments, the actuator of the transfer mechanism 300 is equipped with a detection camera 320, which is positioned in front of the adsorber 310. The detection camera 320 is used to photograph and detect the position of the foam on the material handling station 110. The detection camera 320 is used to detect the foam before the adsorber 310 adsorbs it; if there is any defective foam, it can be directly discarded into the waste box 500. Two cameras detect both the top and bottom surfaces of the foam to ensure the accuracy of the detection.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 It also includes a waste box 500, which is located between the picking station 110 and the tooling. The waste box 500 is used to load defective foam. It also includes a constraint plate 600, which is connected to the frame 100 and is located above the picking guide plate 120. The constraint plate 600 and the picking guide plate 120 define a constraint channel 130, through which the release paper with foam attached can pass.

[0027] In some embodiments, the visual inspection mechanism 400 is a CCD camera. The transfer mechanism 300 is a three-axis motion module. It is understood that the three-axis motion module is a conventional device.

[0028] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
