Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic external hardware feeding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The automatic external hardware feeding equipment is an automated auxiliary equipment used in industrial production. Its core is to independently complete the automatic picking, anti-sticking separation, precise transfer, and positioning of hardware parts outside the main production mold. It also coordinates with the main production equipment through signal interaction to realize the continuous and unmanned supply of hardware parts to the target workstation, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing human error and material loss.

[0003] The existing automatic external hardware feeding equipment currently has the following problems: 1. Low efficiency: The production cycle fluctuates greatly, the equipment capacity is at a low level, and it is difficult to achieve a 24-hour continuous production mode; the product changeover process is cumbersome and time-consuming, which seriously restricts the production progress.

[0004] 2. Unstable quality: The positioning accuracy of the hardware parts does not meet the production standards. During the process of manually placing the hardware parts into the mold cavity, it is easy to cause them to be misplaced, which may lead to mold pressing risks and product scrap.

[0005] 3. High cost: Each injection molding machine requires multiple operators, resulting in a high proportion of labor costs; the high error rate of manual operation leads to a large amount of material loss; at the same time, high costs are required for personnel recruitment, training and daily management.

[0006] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an automatic off-mold hardware feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an automatic external hardware feeding device to realize fully automated production of injection molded hardware, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality and reducing labor costs.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An automatic external hardware feeding device includes an electrical cabinet. A movable module, a hardware positioning module, and a positioning structure are fixedly connected to the top of the electrical cabinet. An air suction structure is provided on the top of the movable module. The mobile module includes a Y-axis module, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the electrical cabinet, a Z-axis module is slidably connected to the top of the Y-axis module, and an air intake structure is slidably connected to one side of the Z-axis module. The above technical solution involves setting up a Z-axis module to drive the suction structure downwards to pick up the product. Once the suction structure picks up the product, the pressure switch reading changes, sending a signal. The Z-axis module moves, the Y-axis module moves, and the suction structure reaches above the positioning structure. After reaching a certain height, the suction structure exhausts air, breaking the vacuum, and the product falls onto the positioning structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the suction structure includes a fixed base, a pressure switch panel is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed base, and a vibration suction cup is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed base; The above technical solution involves setting up a suction structure. When the suction cup picks up the hardware, the reading changes and the operation continues; otherwise, an alarm is triggered. When the hardware is picked up and reaches mid-air, the vibrating suction cup vibrates. Since the suction cup only picks up the topmost hardware, the hardware stuck together below will fall down due to the vibration, thus achieving the effect that each suction cup picks up only one hardware at a time.

[0010] Furthermore, the hardware positioning module includes a first module and a second module, the bottom of the first module and the second module are fixedly connected to the electrical cabinet, and sensors are fixedly connected to the bottom of both the first module and the second module. Through the above technical solution, by setting up a first module and a second module, one of which is a replacement hardware positioning module, the other module picks up the hardware, and the sensor below sends a signal to start picking up the hardware of this module. The other module uses this time period to fill the hardware, and completes the cycle.

[0011] Furthermore, the positioning structure includes a positioning plate, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the electrical cabinet, and four cylinders are evenly fixedly connected around the top of the positioning plate, with a positioning fixture fixedly connected to the output end of each cylinder. With the above technical solution, a positioning structure is set up. The cylinder movement drives the positioning fixture to squeeze the product and push the product to the positioning edge. The loading and positioning are completed, the action ends, and the robot waits to pick up the hardware.

[0012] Furthermore, a protective cover is fixedly connected to the top of the electrical cabinet; By using the above technical solutions, a protective cover is installed to prevent external damage to the internal structure of the device and improve the protective effect of the equipment.

[0013] Furthermore, a control panel is fixedly connected inside the protective cover; Through the above technical solution, a control panel is set up with a display screen as the core operation and monitoring terminal, integrating parameter setting, real-time display of operating status and fault early warning functions. The system can link the Z-axis module, Y-axis module, dual-station hardware positioning module, air suction structure, vibration suction cup and pressure switch panel and other actuators in real time, accurately control the entire process of grasping, positioning and transfer. For hardware parts of different specifications, parameter debugging and matching can be completed quickly, and it has stable and reliable automated operation control capabilities.

[0014] Furthermore, a heat dissipation device is fixedly connected inside the electrical cabinet; By implementing the above technical solutions, a heat dissipation device is installed to reduce the heat generated during the operation of the feeding equipment, ensure the ambient temperature, and improve the stability and continuity of equipment operation.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the electrical cabinet is fixedly connected with multiple casters and support legs; The above technical solutions include the installation of casters to facilitate equipment movement and improve the ease of handling, and the installation of support legs to support the equipment and improve the stability of the feeding equipment.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. The automatic off-mold hardware feeding device proposed in this utility model can accurately control the positioning deviation of hardware parts through the synergistic effect of vibration suction cup, pressure switch and edge positioning structure, completely avoid the problem of picking up too many or wrong hardware parts, greatly reduce the defective products caused by hardware misalignment or looseness, reduce product scrap rate, and improve feeding accuracy and product yield.

[0017] 2.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of specific embodiments. Obviously, the described specific embodiments are only a part of the specific embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the specific embodiments of the present invention, all other specific embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a specific implementation method: An automatic off-mold hardware feeding device includes an electrical cabinet 1. A movable module 4, a hardware positioning module 6, and a positioning structure 7 are fixedly connected to the top of the electrical cabinet 1. A suction structure 5 is installed on the top of the movable module 4. The movable module 4 includes a Y-axis module 402, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the electrical cabinet 1. A Z-axis module 401 is slidably connected to the top of the Y-axis module 402. The suction structure 5 is slidably connected to one side of the Z-axis module 401. The Z-axis module 401 drives the suction structure 5 to move downwards to pick up the product. When the suction structure 5 picks up the product, the pressure switch reading changes, sending a signal. The Z-axis module 401 moves, the Y-axis module 402 moves, and the suction structure 5 reaches above the positioning structure 7. After reaching a certain height, it begins to suck up air. Structure 5 exhausts air, breaking the vacuum, and the product falls onto positioning structure 7. Suction structure 5 includes a fixed base 501, with a pressure switch panel 502 fixedly connected to one side of the fixed base 501. A vibrating suction cup 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed base 501. When the suction cup picks up a metal part, the reading changes, and the operation continues; otherwise, an alarm sounds. When the metal part is picked up and reaches mid-air, the vibrating suction cup 503 vibrates. Since the suction cup only picks up the topmost metal part, the metal parts stuck together below are vibrated and fall down, thus achieving the effect of each suction cup picking up only one metal part per cycle. The metal part positioning module 6 includes a first module 601 and a second module 602. The bottom of the first module 601 and the bottom of the second module 602... The first module 601 and the second module 602 are fixedly connected to the electrical cabinet 1. Sensors 603 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both modules 601 and 602. One module is a replacement hardware positioning module 6. After the other module picks up the hardware, the sensor 603 underneath sends a signal to start picking up the hardware from this module. The other module uses this time period to load hardware, completing the cycle. The positioning structure 7 includes a positioning plate 701. The bottom of the positioning plate 701 is fixedly connected to the electrical cabinet 1. Four cylinders 702 are evenly fixedly connected to the top of the positioning plate 701. The output end of each cylinder 702 is fixedly connected to a positioning fixture 703. With the positioning structure 7 in place, the movement of the cylinders 702 drives the positioning fixture 703 to squeeze the product, thus... Once the component is positioned at the top, the loading and positioning are complete, the action ends, and the machine awaits the robotic arm to retrieve the hardware. A protective cover 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the electrical cabinet 1 to prevent external damage to the internal structure of the device and improve its protective effect. A control panel 9 is fixedly connected inside the protective cover 8. The control panel 9 uses a display screen as the core operation and monitoring terminal, integrating parameter setting, real-time display of operating status, and fault warning functions. The system can dynamically link the Z-axis module 401, Y-axis module 402, dual-station hardware positioning module, suction structure 5, vibrating suction cup 503, and pressure switch panel 502, precisely controlling the entire process of gripping, positioning, and transferring. For hardware of different specifications, parameter adjustment and matching can be quickly completed.Equipped with stable and reliable automated operation control capabilities, the electrical cabinet 1 has a fixedly connected heat dissipation device 10 inside. This device reduces the heat generated during the operation of the feeding equipment, ensuring a stable ambient temperature and improving the stability and continuity of equipment operation. The bottom of the electrical cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to multiple casters 2 and support legs 3. The casters 2 facilitate equipment movement and improve the ease of handling, while the support legs 3 provide support and enhance the stability of the feeding equipment.

[0024] Working Principle: During operation, this automatic external metal feeding device uses the suction structure 5 to precisely grip the metal parts. Simultaneously, the vibrating suction cup 503 activates, shaking off excess metal parts adhering to the target metal part. Combined with the feedback from the pressure switch panel 502, this ensures that each suction cup picks up only one metal part. After picking up, the metal part is transferred to a dual-station metal positioning module. When one module completes the metal part's posture calibration and awaits transfer, the lower sensor 603 triggers a signal, driving the Y-axis module 402 to grip the metal part from that module. Simultaneously, the other module performs the same process. The hardware loading process enables dual-station cyclic operation. The calibrated hardware is transversely conveyed by the Y-axis module 402, and then the Z-axis module 401 adjusts the longitudinal height. After being moved above the positioning structure 7, the suction structure 5 breaks the vacuum and causes the hardware to fall. Finally, the positioning fixture 703 is moved by the cylinder 702 to push the hardware against the positioning edge, completing the edge positioning. It then waits for the robot to move it to the designated position in the injection mold cavity. The entire process simulates the logic of manual loading. Through mechanical structure optimization and dual-station cyclic design, the operation accuracy and efficiency are improved, forming an automated hardware feeding closed loop.
