[0002] In electroplating, surface treatment and similar manufacturing industries, automatic loading and unloading equipment is the core equipment for realizing the automated transfer and storage of materials between processes. Its performance is directly related to the cycle time, efficiency and stability of the production line.

[0003] In existing technologies, automatic loading and unloading cranes are widely used loading and unloading mechanisms. However, they generally suffer from problems such as slow loading and unloading speeds, bulky overall equipment, insufficient flexibility in operation, and poor material handling. The main reasons for this are that the mechanical structure design is not optimized, with too many redundant parts. This not only increases the weight and manufacturing cost of the equipment itself, but also increases the burden on the pneumatic and electric systems.

[0004] Therefore, an automatic loading and unloading mechanism is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0027] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] An automatic loading and unloading mechanism, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes two sets of support bases 1 symmetrically arranged. A crossbeam 2 is slidably mounted on the top of the two sets of support bases 1. Both ends of the crossbeam 2 are fixedly connected to transverse moving components. Both sets of transverse moving components are driven by the support bases 1 to drive the crossbeam 2 to slide on the upper ends of the two sets of support bases 1. A material transfer component is fixedly mounted on the crossbeam 2 for hooking and lifting materials. In conjunction with the transverse moving components, it moves the workpiece. The material transfer component includes a mounting plate 10, which is fixedly mounted on the crossbeam 2. A material rod 12 is vertically slidably mounted on the mounting plate 10. A main cylinder 11 (model CQ2) is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting plate 10. (B63-30DM) The output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper end of the material rod 12. The lower end of the material rod 12 is equipped with a hook assembly. The output end of the main cylinder 11 extends, the hook assembly descends and picks up the workpiece, the workpiece is loaded, the output end of the main cylinder 11 retracts, driving the workpiece to rise, the transverse component drives the crossbeam 2 to slide on the upper end of the two sets of support seats 1, the crossbeam 2 carries the material transfer component to move laterally, so that the workpiece is transferred to a different position, the output end of the main cylinder 11 extends, the hook assembly descends and releases the workpiece, the workpiece is unloaded. The loading and unloading speed of this mechanism is increased, the overall equipment is no longer bulky, the operation is light and flexible, and the material connection is smooth.

[0029] The frame structure with sliding engagement between support base 1 and crossbeam 2, along with the optimized design of the transverse and material transfer components, significantly reduces structural redundancy, making the overall equipment lighter. This not only reduces material and manufacturing costs but also reduces the burden on the pneumatic and electric systems.

[0030] Both sets of transverse components include a fixed plate 4, which is fixed to both ends of the crossbeam 2. A servo motor 7 (model MSMF042L1U2M) is fixed to each of the two fixed plates 4. A horizontal gear 8 is fixed to the output end of each of the two servo motors 7. A horizontal rack 3 is fixed to the side wall of each of the two support bases 1. The two horizontal gears 8 mesh with the two horizontal racks 3 respectively. When the two servo motors 7 drive synchronously, the entire crossbeam 2 moves precisely along the top length of the support base 1 through the meshing of the horizontal gears 8 and the horizontal racks 3.

[0031] Both ends of the crossbeam 2 are fixed with brackets 20. Side wheels 5 and flat wheels 6 are rotatably mounted on the brackets 20. The side wheels 5 roll with the side wall of the support base 1, and the flat wheels 6 roll with the top of the support base 1. When the crossbeam 2 moves, the flat wheels 6 roll on the top of the support base 1, and the side wheels 5 roll on the side wall of the support base 1.

[0032] The transmission method employs a servo motor 7 driving a horizontal gear 8 that meshes with a horizontal rack 3. The servo motor 7 can precisely control the rotation angle and speed, and combined with the horizontal rack 3, it converts rotational motion into linear motion, enabling high-precision positioning of the transverse component on the crossbeam 2. Simultaneously, the mechanism also includes components such as a flat wheel 6 and a side-mounted wheel 5, which effectively ensure the smooth operation of the transverse component, reducing shaking and deviation during operation, and further improving positioning accuracy. In traditional automatic loading and unloading mechanisms, ordinary motors may be used in conjunction with belt or chain drives, resulting in relatively low positioning accuracy and potentially leading to inaccurate workpiece gripping, affecting the quality of subsequent electroplating processes. This mechanism, however, can more precisely move the hook 16 above the workpiece, ensuring accurate workpiece gripping and preventing workpiece falling or damage due to gripping position deviations. It also ensures the accurate position of the workpiece in the electroplating tank, improving the uniformity and consistency of electroplating and enhancing product quality.

[0033] The hook assembly includes a drive shaft 15, which is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the material rod 12. A hook 16 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 15. A small cylinder 13 (model ADVU-12-5-A) is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the material rod 12. A drive arm 14 is rotatably mounted on the output end of the small cylinder 13. The drive arm 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 15.

[0034] The output end of the small cylinder 13 extends and pushes the drive arm 14, causing the drive arm 14 to drive the drive shaft 15 to rotate, thereby driving the material hook 16 to rotate. The material hook 16 hooks up and down, thus loading and unloading electroplated workpieces. The material hook 16 of this mechanism can flexibly hook workpieces, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. When producing different types of electroplated workpieces, enterprises do not need to replace or modify the gripping device, reducing production costs and equipment adjustment time.

[0035] The material transfer assembly is provided in multiple sets. Each set of material transfer assembly has a vertical rack 19 fixedly connected to the side wall of the rod 12. A connecting rod 17 is rotatably installed on the crossbeam 2. Multiple sets of linkage wheels 18 are fixedly connected to the connecting rod 17. The multiple sets of linkage wheels 18 respectively mesh with the multiple sets of vertical racks 19 for transmission.

[0036] When one of the feed rods 12 is driven to rise or fall by its main cylinder 11, it will drive the connecting rod 17 to rotate through the meshing transmission of the vertical rack 19 and the linkage wheel 18, thereby driving all other feed rods 12 to rise or fall synchronously, ensuring the consistency of the actions of all main cylinders 11.

[0037] Both ends of the two sets of support seats 1 are fixed with buffers 9. The buffers 9 cooperate with the crossbeam 2. The buffers 9 are existing technology and include structures such as springs and sliding pressure rods, and have a certain degree of elasticity.

[0038] When the traverse component moves to its limit position, the buffer 9 can effectively absorb the impact force, reduce equipment vibration, protect equipment parts, and extend the service life of the equipment. It also avoids workpiece falling or positional displacement caused by impact. Traditional automatic loading and unloading mechanisms are prone to vibration and shaking during operation due to the lack of effective buffering and stabilization measures. This not only affects the service life of the equipment but may also cause the gripped workpiece to fall. This mechanism effectively improves the stability of equipment operation, reduces the risk of equipment failure, and ensures the continuity and reliability of the production process through components such as the buffer 9, the flat wheel 6, and the side wheel 5.

[0039] By precisely controlling the actuators such as the servo motor 7, main cylinder 11, and small cylinder 13 through electrical control components, the entire loading and unloading process is automated, including the automatic cycle of a series of actions such as lateral movement, gripping, conveying, and releasing. Although the automatic loading and unloading mechanisms in the traditional electroplating industry also have certain automation functions, they may be insufficient in terms of the coordination and precise control of the actions. This mechanism, through an advanced electrical control system, can more accurately control the timing and position of the actions of each component, further improving the degree of automation, reducing manual intervention, increasing production efficiency, and reducing labor costs and the risk of human error.

[0040] The working principle of the automatic loading and unloading mechanism provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0041] The control system issues a command to start the servo motors 7 installed on the fixed plates 4 at both ends of the crossbeam 2. The servo motors 7 drive the horizontal gears 8 to rotate, and through meshing with the horizontal racks 3 fixed to the side wall of the support base 1, they generate driving force, thereby driving the entire crossbeam 2 and all the material transfer components on it to move precisely and smoothly above the target work position. The side wheels and flat wheels 6 at both ends of the crossbeam 2 roll along the side wall and top surface of the support base 1, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the movement process.

[0042] The piston rod of the main cylinder 11 extends or retracts, driving the material rod 12 to descend or rise vertically along the mounting plate 10. When the material rod 12 descends to a predetermined depth, the small cylinder 13 actuates, pulling or pushing the drive shaft 15 to rotate via the drive arm 14, thereby causing the material hook 16 on the drive shaft 15 to flip, so that the workpiece is loaded or unloaded. By adopting a frame structure with sliding cooperation between the support base 1 and the crossbeam 2, as well as an optimized design of the transverse and material transfer components, structural redundancy is significantly reduced, making the overall equipment lighter. This not only reduces material and manufacturing costs, but also reduces the burden on the pneumatic and electric systems.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
