Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary material bonding machine technology, and in particular to a carrier conveying mechanism and an auxiliary material bonding machine. Background Technology

[0002] To protect the surface of components, many parts require a layer of auxiliary material, such as plastic sheets or films, to be laminated after production. Therefore, many manufacturers have developed auxiliary material laminating machines. These machines mainly consist of a component conveyor line, an auxiliary material conveyor line, and a laminating mechanism. Currently, auxiliary materials, such as plastic sheets, are generally loaded into a carrier. The carrier and the auxiliary material are transported together on the auxiliary material conveyor line. After reaching the predetermined position, the laminating mechanism picks up the auxiliary material, and the carrier returns to unload it. A new carrier is then placed on the auxiliary material conveyor line. Because the carrier travels back and forth during this process, and the switching is time-consuming, production efficiency is low. If the carrier does not travel back and forth and unloads at the other end of the auxiliary material conveyor line, it requires manual labor to move back and forth, which is time-sensitive and can lead to high labor intensity.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a carrier conveying mechanism that allows the loading and unloading stations of the carrier to be adjacent, avoiding manual back-and-forth movement, and can relatively effectively improve the production efficiency of the auxiliary material bonding machine. Summary of the Invention

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0031] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 5 As shown.

[0033] Example 1: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A carrier conveying mechanism includes a workbench 50. Two parallel belt conveyors are provided on one side of the workbench 50, one of which is a loading conveyor 3 and the other is a unloading conveyor 1. A carrier transfer device 2 is provided on the other side of the workbench 50 for transferring a carrier 10 from the loading conveyor 3 to the unloading conveyor 1. The workbench 50 is provided with a loading blocking block 8 for preventing the carrier 10 from leaving the loading conveyor 3 and a unloading blocking plate 7 for preventing the carrier 10 from leaving the unloading conveyor.

[0034] In this embodiment, during operation, the operator first places the carrier 10 containing auxiliary materials onto the feeding conveyor 3. The feeding conveyor 3 transports the carrier 10 to a predetermined position where it abuts against the feeding blocking block 8. The feeding blocking block is located in front of the carrier 10 in the conveying direction and abuts against the front end face of the carrier 10, preventing the carrier 10 from moving. After the bonding mechanism 300 has transferred all the auxiliary materials from the carrier 10, the carrier transfer device 2 starts working, transferring the carrier 10 to the unloading conveyor 1. The carrier transfer device 2 can be based on existing technology, such as a robotic arm, a suction cup 34, or a clamp combined with an XZ movement mechanism. The XZ movement mechanism drives the suction cup 34 or clamp to move horizontally and vertically. When the carrier 10 is transferred to the unloading conveyor 1, the unloading conveyor 1 transports the carrier 10 until the carrier 10 abuts against the unloading blocking plate 7. After abutment, the carrier 10 remains on the unloading conveyor 1, awaiting manual transfer.

[0035] Since the feeding conveyor 3 and the unloading conveyor 1 are arranged in parallel intervals, the feeding station and the unloading station are located on the same side of the workbench 50 and are very close to each other; after the manual laborer completes the feeding of the carrier 10, the manual laborer can immediately unload the carrier 10; the walking distance is very short; secondly, since the unloading baffle 7 is set, the carrier 10 will stay on the unloading conveyor 1, and there is no need to worry about it falling off, which can reduce the labor intensity.

[0036] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 The belt conveyor includes two parallel belt conveyor assemblies. Each belt conveyor assembly includes a drive pulley 16, a driven pulley 12, and a belt 14 located on both sides. A main drive shaft 15 is connected between the two drive pulleys 16, and a fixed shaft 11 is connected between the two driven pulleys 12. The driven pulleys 12 are rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 11. One end of the main drive shaft 15 extends outward and is connected to a rotary drive device, which drives the main drive shaft 15 to rotate.

[0037] The belt conveyor mainly consists of two belt conveyor assemblies. During conveying, the carrier 10 is connected to the belts 14 of the two belt conveyor assemblies. In a specific configuration, the fixed shaft 11 is connected to the driven pulley 12 via bearings. Alternatively, the fixed shaft 11 can be replaced with a secondary drive shaft, with bearing seats or secondary fixed seats 13 connected to both ends of the secondary drive shaft. When a secondary fixed seat 13 is provided, it has a secondary bearing and is rotatably connected to the secondary drive shaft via the secondary bearing. Similarly, the main drive shaft 15 has bearing seats or main fixed seats 51 connected to both ends of the main drive shaft 15. When a main fixed seat 51 is provided, it has a main bearing and is connected to the main drive shaft 15 via the main bearing. In this embodiment, the fixed shaft 11 has secondary fixed seats 13 connected to both ends of the shaft, and the main drive shaft 15 has main fixed seats 51 connected to both ends of the shaft. Both the secondary fixed seats 13 and the main fixed seats 51 are fixed to the worktable 50.

[0038] See Figure 3 The auxiliary fixing seat 13 is provided with an adjustment groove in the length direction. The two ends of the fixing shaft 11 pass through the corresponding adjustment grooves 31 and are connected to fixing components. The fixing components can be nuts, etc. The adjustment grooves 31 can be provided to adjust the position of the fixing shaft 11, thereby adjusting the tension of the belt 14.

[0039] See Figure 3 The rotary drive device includes a servo motor 6, which is driven by the main drive shaft 15 or driven by the main drive shaft 15 through the transmission mechanism 5.

[0040] When there is sufficient space on the worktable 50, a servo motor 6 can be directly installed. The servo motor 6 is connected to the main drive shaft 15 via a coupling and drives the main drive shaft 15 to rotate. When there is insufficient space, a transmission mechanism 5 can be used for transmission. In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 5 includes a synchronous belt transmission mechanism 5, which includes a main synchronous pulley, a driven synchronous pulley, and a synchronous belt. The servo motor 6 is connected to the main synchronous transmission mechanism, and the driven synchronous pulley is connected to the main drive shaft 15. The servo motor 6 drives the main drive shaft 15 to rotate via the synchronous belt transmission mechanism 5. Of course, the transmission mechanism 5 can also be other types, such as a chain mechanism, a gear transmission mechanism, etc.

[0041] See Figure 3 The belt conveyor assembly also includes a belt support 20, which includes a horizontal section 18 located in the middle, and vertical support sections 19 on both sides of the horizontal section 18. The lower end of the vertical support section 19 is bent to form a pad 17, and the pad 17 is provided with several mounting holes and fixed to the workbench 50 by a connector.

[0042] The belt 14 in the belt conveyor assembly needs to support the carrier 10. When the distance between the main pulley and the driven pulley is large, the belt 14 will bend in the middle when bearing the weight of the carrier 10, and cannot keep the carrier 10 moving horizontally; thus, it is not conducive to picking up the fit structure. In order to keep the carrier 10 horizontal or nearly horizontal, a belt support 20 is provided in this embodiment. The horizontal section 18 of the belt support 20 is located below the belt 14 and adjacent to the belt 14. The distance between the horizontal section 18 and the upper part of the belt 14 can be between 1-3mm. When the carrier 10 is mounted, the belt 14 is under pressure and bends. Due to the belt support 20, the belt 14 abuts against the belt support 20, and the deformation is very small. The carrier 10 is conveyed by friction, and the carrier 10 is basically kept horizontal.

[0043] See Figure 4 The vehicle transfer device 2 includes a longitudinally arranged linear module 21, which is connected to a vertical support plate 22 and drives the vertical support plate 22 to move longitudinally. The upper end of the vertical support plate 22 is connected to a vertically arranged cylinder 23, and the push rod of the cylinder 23 is connected to a horizontally arranged horizontal plate 24. The cylinder 23 drives the horizontal plate 24 to move up and down. One end of the horizontal plate 24 is connected to a plurality of suction cup 34 assemblies.

[0044] The linear module 21 can be a linear motor, electric cylinder, or pneumatic cylinder. The linear module 21 drives the vertical support plate 22 to move longitudinally, and also drives the pneumatic cylinder 23 to move longitudinally. During operation, when a carrier needs to be transferred, the linear module 21 drives the pneumatic cylinder 23 and the suction cup 34 assembly to move, positioning the suction cup 34 assembly above the carrier 10 on the loading conveyor. Then, the pneumatic cylinder 23 drives the suction cup 34 assembly downwards until it can adsorb the carrier 10. It should be noted that in actual operation, the suction cup 34 is connected to an air extraction device, such as a vacuum pump, via an air pipe. A control valve can also be connected to the middle of the air pipe; this structure is existing technology and will not be elaborated here. Then, with the cooperation of the linear module 21 and the pneumatic cylinder 23, the carrier 10 is transferred to the unloading conveyor 1.

[0045] See Figure 4 The workbench 50 is provided with a longitudinally arranged guide rail 28. A vertical support plate 22 is connected to an inverted T-shaped block 27. A pad 25 is connected to the lower end of the T-shaped block 27. The pad 25 is slidably connected to the guide rail 28 through a slider 26. The middle part of the T-shaped block 27 is connected to the vertical support plate 22.

[0046] To ensure more stable movement of the vertical support plate 22, a guide rail 28 and a slider 26 are also provided in this embodiment. The cooperation between the guide rail 28 and the slider 26 makes the longitudinal movement of the vertical support plate 22 linear and smooth.

[0047] See Figure 4The suction cup 34 assembly includes a suction cup 34 and a fixing plate 30. One end of the horizontal plate 24 is provided with several horizontally arranged connecting grooves 29. One end of the fixing plate 30 is provided with a connecting hole and connected to the connecting groove 29 through a connector. The other end of the fixing plate 30 is provided with an adjustment groove 31. The upper end of the suction cup 34 is provided with a threaded rod 33. The threaded rod 33 is threadedly connected to two fixing nuts 32. The two fixing nuts 32 are respectively clamped on both sides of the fixing plate 30.

[0048] Since the shape of the carrier 10 is not unique, the installation position of the suction cup 34 needs to be adjustable. In this embodiment, a connecting groove 29 is provided at one end of the horizontal plate 24, allowing the suction cup 34 assembly to move laterally. The connecting component can be a bolt, etc., and the connecting groove 29 is a through groove. The fixing plate 30 is fixed to the horizontal plate 24 by the bolt. Secondly, the fixing plate 30 is provided with an adjustment groove 31, which is fixed by two fixing nuts 32. It can also be adjusted in position, mainly in the longitudinal direction. Thus, the suction cup 34 has position adjustment in both the lateral and longitudinal directions. Adjustment is convenient and operation is simple.

[0049] See Figure 2 The belt conveyor also includes a lifting cylinder assembly 4, which is disposed between the two belt conveyor assemblies.

[0050] When the cylinder cannot drive the adsorption component to approach the carrier 10, this embodiment uses a lifting cylinder assembly 4 to lift the carrier 10 or receive the carrier 10.

[0051] See Figure 5 The lifting cylinder assembly 4 includes a base plate 43 fixed to a fixed platform, a lifting cylinder 42 connected to the base plate 43, and a lifting plate 41 connected to the push rod of the lifting cylinder 42.

[0052] Preferably, the base plate 43 is connected to a plurality of linear bearings 44, and the linear bearings 44 are sleeved with guide rods 45, the upper end of the guide rods 45 being fixedly connected to the lifting plate 41.

[0053] When the carrier 10 needs to be transferred, the lifting cylinder 42 located in the loading conveyor 3 lifts the lifting plate 41, which raises the carrier 10 until it can be adsorbed by the adsorption component. Then, driven by the linear module 21 and the cylinder, the adsorption component moves above the carrier 10 and adsorbs it. Next, driven by the linear module 21 and the cylinder, it moves above the unloading conveyor 1, and the lifting cylinder assembly 4 of the unloading conveyor 1 actuates, causing the lifting plate 41 to come into contact with the carrier 10. Then, the lifting cylinder 42 resets, and the carrier 10 is mounted on the unloading conveyor 1 and separated from the lifting plate 41. It can be understood that the width of the lifting plate 41 is less than the distance between the two belt conveyor assemblies.

[0054] See Figure 2 Side correction plates 9 are provided on both sides of the feeding conveyor 3.

[0055] Since the feeding conveyor 3 needs to transport the auxiliary material to the feeding position and then pick it up by the bonding mechanism 300, the position of the auxiliary material requires high precision. In order to avoid the carrier 10 from falling out of position during transportation, this embodiment sets side correction plates 9 on both sides of the feeding conveyor 3. The ends of the side correction plates 9 can be inclined or arc-shaped to facilitate the carrier 10 to enter the two side correction plates 9. Side correction plates 9 can also be set on both sides of the unloading conveyor 1 to prevent the carrier 10 from falling out to the side. Of course, they can also be omitted.

[0056] Example 2: See Figure 6 A material applicator includes the aforementioned carrier conveyor device 100.

[0057] Preferably, the auxiliary material applicator further includes: an applicating mechanism 300 and a component conveying device 200.

[0058] The auxiliary material applicator uses a carrier conveyor 100 to transport auxiliary materials to a predetermined position. The bonding mechanism 300 picks up the auxiliary materials and transfers them. The component conveyor 200 transports the components to the bonding position and pauses. The bonding mechanism 300 then bonds the auxiliary materials to the components. The component conveyor 200 then continues to transport the bonded components. Both the bonding mechanism 300 and the component conveyor 200 can be existing technologies. For example, the component conveyor 200 can use a belt conveyor, and the bonding mechanism 300 can use a combination of a suction cup and an XYZ moving mechanism.

[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
