Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rubber bottle stopper production equipment, and in particular to a feeding and unloading robot for the vulcanization of rubber sheets in bottle stopper production. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the automation level of our bottle stopper production, we designed an integrated rubber sheet vulcanization equipment for rubber bottle stopper production. This equipment is mainly used for placing raw rubber sheets into the vulcanizing machine (feeding) and for removing the vulcanized semi-finished rubber sheets from the vulcanizing machine and placing them into the equipment for flat cooling (unloading). During the feeding and unloading processes, a feeding and unloading device is required. Based on the structural characteristics of the raw and semi-finished rubber sheets, our technical personnel designed a feeding and unloading robot for rubber sheet vulcanization in bottle stopper production, as described in this application. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a rubber sheet vulcanization feeding and unloading robot for bottle stopper production, which is used to place the raw rubber sheet into the vulcanizing machine and to take out the vulcanized semi-finished rubber sheet from the vulcanizing machine.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical features, the purpose of this utility model is as follows: A feeding and unloading robot for the vulcanization of film in bottle stopper production includes a mounting base. At least one lateral clamping mechanism and at least one longitudinal clamping mechanism are mounted on the lower front side of the mounting base, and multiple vacuum suction cups are mounted on the lower rear side of the mounting base. The lateral clamping mechanism includes a parallel finger cylinder, on which a first clamping member is mounted. The two first clamping members on the parallel finger cylinder move and clamp in the left and right directions. The longitudinal clamping mechanism includes a flipping finger cylinder, on which a second clamping member is mounted. The two second clamping members on the flipping finger cylinder flip and clamp in the front and back directions.

[0005] The mounting base is a frame structure spliced ​​from profiles. The rear end of the frame structure has multiple first through channels spaced apart along the left and right direction, and multiple vacuum suction cups are installed in each first through channel. The front end of the frame structure has multiple second through channels spaced apart along the left and right direction, and a lateral clamping mechanism and a longitudinal clamping mechanism are installed in the second through channels spaced apart.

[0006] The threaded connector end of the vacuum suction cup is equipped with a support plate, and both ends of the support plate are fixedly installed with the mounting base.

[0007] The parallel finger cylinder has a first L-shaped plate installed on the front and rear sides of the cylinder body, and a fixing plate installed at the lower end of the first L-shaped plate. The fixing plate is installed at the bottom of the mounting base and has a clearance hole. The parallel finger cylinder passes through the clearance hole.

[0008] The flipping finger cylinder has a second L-shaped plate installed on the left and right sides of the cylinder body, and the second L-shaped plate is installed on the top of the mounting base.

[0009] A vacuum generator is installed at the threaded connector end of the vacuum chuck.

[0010] The second clamping component is a T-shaped structure. One end of the T-shaped structure is connected to the finger of the flipping finger cylinder, and the other two ends extend symmetrically to the left and right sides respectively.

[0011] The second clamping member has clamping pads installed on its two ends that extend to the left and right sides respectively.

[0012] A connecting seat is installed on the top of the mounting base.

[0013] The features of this utility model using the above-mentioned technical solution are: This invention utilizes a parallel finger cylinder to grip pre-set clamping points on a semi-finished rubber sheet from the left and right directions. After the parallel finger cylinder grips the semi-finished rubber sheet, a robotic arm drives the mounting base to move upward and pull back, lifting the edge of the semi-finished rubber sheet. Then, a flipping finger cylinder grips the semi-finished rubber sheet from the front and back directions. As the robotic arm drives the mounting base to exit the vulcanizing equipment, the semi-finished rubber sheet is demolded from the vulcanizing mold and pulled out. A vacuum suction cup is used to adsorb the raw rubber sheet on the worktable. After adsorbing the raw rubber sheet, a robotic arm drives the mounting base to extend into the vulcanizing mold of the vulcanizing equipment, thereby placing the raw rubber sheet onto the vulcanizing mold. Through the above structure, it is possible to place the raw rubber sheet into the vulcanizing machine and remove the vulcanized semi-finished rubber sheet from the vulcanizing machine.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] It should be noted that the use of terms such as "an embodiment," "an embodiment," "an exemplary embodiment," and "some embodiments" in the specification indicates that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments (whether explicitly described or not) should be within the knowledge of those skilled in the art.

[0025] Example 1: See Figure 1-4A feeding and unloading robot for the vulcanization of film in bottle stopper production includes a mounting base 10. At least one lateral clamping mechanism 20 and at least one longitudinal clamping mechanism 30 are mounted on the lower front end of the mounting base 10, and multiple vacuum suction cups 40 are mounted on the lower rear end of the mounting base 10. The lateral clamping mechanism 20 includes a parallel finger cylinder 21, on which a first clamping member 22 is mounted. The two first clamping members 22 on the parallel finger cylinder 21 move and clamp in the left and right directions. The longitudinal clamping mechanism 30 includes a flipping finger cylinder 31, on which a second clamping member 32 is mounted. The two second clamping members 32 on the flipping finger cylinder 31 flip and clamp in the front and back directions.

[0026] In use, the parallel finger cylinder 21 is used to clamp the pre-set clamping points on the semi-finished rubber sheet 1 from the left and right directions. After the parallel finger cylinder 21 clamps the semi-finished rubber sheet 1, the mechanical arm drives the mounting seat 10 to move up and pull back, pulling up the edge of the semi-finished rubber sheet 1. Then, the flipping finger cylinder 31 clamps the two sides of the semi-finished rubber sheet 1 from the front and back directions. When the mechanical arm drives the mounting seat 10 to exit the vulcanization equipment, the semi-finished rubber sheet 1 is demolded from the vulcanization mold and pulled out.

[0027] The vacuum suction cup 40 uses the suction cup to pick up the rubber sheet on the worktable. After the rubber sheet is picked up, the mechanical arm drives the mounting base 10 to extend into the vulcanization mold of the vulcanization equipment, thereby placing the rubber sheet on the vulcanization mold.

[0028] The above structure allows the raw rubber sheet to be placed into the vulcanizing machine and the semi-finished rubber sheet 1 after vulcanization to be removed from the vulcanizing machine.

[0029] Specifically, the parallel finger cylinder 21 is an MHZL2 type finger cylinder; the flipping finger cylinder 31 is an HFR type pneumatic finger cylinder with 180-degree opening and closing. The vacuum suction cup 40 is a ZP3 series multi-layer vacuum suction cup.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting base 10 can be made of welded steel structure or bolts.

[0031] See Figure 1 , 3 The top of the mounting base 10 is welded or bolted with a connecting seat 16, which is used to connect with the robotic arm to drive the mounting base 10 to move. The connecting seat 16 can be provided with mounting holes as needed.

[0032] Example 2: In this embodiment, the mounting base 10 is a frame structure assembled from profiles, which can be industrial aluminum profiles. Multiple first through channels 11 are spaced apart at the rear end of the frame structure along the left-right direction, and multiple vacuum suction cups 40 are installed in each first through channel 11. Multiple second through channels 12 are spaced apart at the front end of the frame structure along the left-right direction, and a transverse clamping mechanism 20 and a longitudinal clamping mechanism 30 are spaced apart within the second through channels 12.

[0033] See Figure 2 A support plate 41 is installed on the threaded connector end of the vacuum suction cup 40, and both ends of the support plate 41 are bolted to the mounting base 10. Specifically, the support plate 41 has first through holes at both ends, through which bolts are connected to the mounting base 10. A second through hole is provided in the middle of the support plate 41, through which the external threaded connector at the top of the vacuum suction cup 40 passes and a nut is installed, thereby fixing the vacuum suction cup 40 to the support plate 41.

[0034] See Figure 4 The parallel finger cylinder 21 has a first L-shaped plate 14 installed on its front and rear sides. A fixing plate 13 is installed on the lower end of the first L-shaped plate 14. The fixing plate 13 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 10. The fixing plate 13 has a clearance hole 131 through which the parallel finger cylinder 21 passes. The two ends of the first L-shaped plate 14 are connected to the parallel finger cylinder 21 and the fixing plate 13 by bolts, respectively. The fixing plate 13 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 10 by bolts.

[0035] See also Figure 4 A second L-shaped plate 15 is installed on the left and right sides of the cylinder body of the finger-flipping cylinder 31, and the second L-shaped plate 15 is installed on the top of the mounting base 10. The two ends of the second L-shaped plate 15 are connected and fixed to the finger-flipping cylinder 31 and the mounting base 10 by bolts.

[0036] Further, see Figure 2 The vacuum suction cup 40 is equipped with a vacuum generator 42 at its threaded connector end, which provides a vacuum environment for the vacuum suction cup 40. During use, the vacuum generator 42 is connected to a pressurized air supply pipe.

[0037] See Figure 4 The second clamping member 32 is a T-shaped structure. One end of the T-shaped structure is connected to the finger of the flipping finger cylinder 31, and the other two ends extend symmetrically to the left and right sides, so as to provide a larger clamping area when clamping the semi-finished rubber sheet 1 and prevent the semi-finished rubber sheet 1 from breaking.

[0038] Furthermore, clamping pads 321 are installed on the two ends of the second clamping member 32 that extend to the left and right sides respectively. The clamping pads 321 increase the thickness of the second clamping member 32. When clamping, the clamping pads 321 on the two sides of the second clamping member 32 can be tightly pressed against each other, preventing the semi-finished rubber sheet 1 from falling off when clamping it.

[0039] The working principle or process of the utility model: During use, when feeding, the vacuum suction cup 40 uses the suction cup to pick up the rubber sheet on the worktable. After picking up the rubber sheet, the mechanical arm drives the mounting base 10 to extend into the vulcanization mold of the vulcanization equipment, thereby placing the rubber sheet onto the vulcanization mold.

[0040] When unloading materials, please refer to Figure 5 The mounting base 10 extends into the lower mold of the vulcanizing mold. The parallel finger cylinder 21 is used to clamp the pre-set clamping point on the semi-finished rubber sheet 1 from the left and right directions. After the parallel finger cylinder 21 clamps the semi-finished rubber sheet 1, the mounting base 10 is driven to move upward and pull back by the mechanical arm to pull up the edge of the semi-finished rubber sheet 1.

[0041] See Figure 6 Then, the finger cylinder 31 is flipped to clamp the two sides of the semi-finished rubber sheet 1 from the front and back.

[0042] See Figure 7 When the robotic arm drives the mounting base 10 to exit the vulcanizing equipment, it pulls the semi-finished rubber sheet 1 out of the vulcanizing mold.

[0043] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments described are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the spirit of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
