[0019] intention.
[0020] As attached Figure 1As shown, an automatic steel ball riveting mechanism for products includes a suction nozzle 1, a suction nozzle lifting cylinder 2, a steel ball misalignment mechanism 3, a steel ball feeding mechanism 4, a product handling mechanism 5, a base 6, and a product tray separating mechanism 7. The suction nozzle lifting cylinder 2, the steel ball misalignment mechanism 3, and the steel ball feeding mechanism 4 are installed on the base 6. The suction nozzle 1 is fixed on the piston rod of the suction nozzle lifting cylinder 2. The product handling mechanism 5 is provided between the base 6 and the product tray separating mechanism 7.
[0021] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the steel ball misalignment mechanism 3 includes a steel ball carrier plate 31 and a horizontal cylinder 32. The cylinder body of the horizontal cylinder 32 is fixed on the machine base 6, and the piston rod of the horizontal cylinder 32 is connected to the steel ball carrier plate 31. The steel ball carrier plate 31 is slidably connected to the horizontal straight rail of the machine base 6, and the front end of the steel ball carrier plate 31 is provided with a groove for cooperating with the steel ball.
[0022] The horizontal cylinder 32 can drive the steel ball carrier plate 31 to move horizontally in a straight line.
[0023] The steel ball feeding mechanism 4 includes a steel ball container 41, a discharge pipe 42, a base 43, and an air pump. The steel ball container 41 and the base 43 are both fixed on the machine base 6. The steel ball container 41 is connected to the air pump. The discharge port of the steel ball container 41 is connected to the base 43 through the discharge pipe 42. The base 43 is provided with a discharge hole for passing steel balls and a through hole for passing through the steel ball carrier plate 31. The discharge hole and the through hole are connected. The discharge hole is connected to the discharge pipe 42.
[0024] The air pump outputs gas into the steel ball container 41, and the gas pushes the steel balls into the discharge pipe 42 and into the base 43.
[0025] The product handling mechanism 5 includes a two-axis robot arm 51 and a gripper 52, with the gripper 52 mounted on the two-axis robot arm 51.
[0026] The two-axis robot arm 51 can drive the gripper 52 to move horizontally and vertically in a straight line.
[0027] The product tray separating mechanism 7 includes an L-shaped tray 71, a tray lifting cylinder 72, a platform 73, a platform lifting cylinder 74, a horizontal linear module 75, and a tray horizontal drive cylinder 76. The platform lifting cylinder 74 is fixed on the slide of the horizontal linear module 75, and the platform 73 is fixed on the piston rod of the platform lifting cylinder 74. The left and right sides of the horizontal linear module 75 are equipped with tray lifting cylinders 72, the piston rods of the tray lifting cylinders 72 are fixed with the tray horizontal drive cylinders 76, and the L-shaped tray 71 is fixed on the piston rods of the tray horizontal drive cylinders 76.
[0028] The tray separating mechanism 7 separates trays as follows: a stack of trays is placed on L-shaped pallets 71 on the left and right sides. The horizontal linear module 75 then drives the platform 73 horizontally to move below the stack of trays. Next, the pallet lifting cylinder 72 moves the trays down and onto the platform 73. Then, the horizontal drive cylinders 76 on both sides move the two L-shaped pallets 71 outwards. Next, the pallet lifting cylinder 72 moves the L-shaped pallets 71 upwards and aligns them between the two bottom trays. The L-shaped pallets 71 are then inserted between these two trays, and the pallet lifting cylinder 72 lifts all trays except the bottom one. Finally, the horizontal linear module 75 drives the platform 73, which carries one tray, horizontally to the pickup position. Repeating these steps allows for the removal of the stacked trays one by one. The platform lifting cylinder 74 can adjust the height of the platform 73 and the trays on it.
[0029] The operation of this application is as follows: In the initial state, the front end of the steel ball carrier plate 31 is placed inside the base 43, and the discharge hole in the base 43 is located directly above the groove on the steel ball carrier plate 31 for accommodating the steel ball. The steel ball feeding mechanism 4 feeds the steel ball into the base 43, and one steel ball enters the groove. At this time, the steel ball carrier plate 31 moves forward horizontally to the picking position, and the plate body of the steel ball carrier plate 31 blocks the discharge hole during the movement.
[0030] Next, the suction nozzle lifting cylinder 2 drives the suction nozzle 1 to move down and suck up the steel balls in the lower steel ball carrier plate 31, lifting the steel balls from the steel ball carrier plate 31. At this time, the steel ball carrier plate 31 retracts and resets. Then, the product handling mechanism 5 grabs a product on the tray and moves the product below the suction nozzle 1. Finally, the suction nozzle 1 moves down and rivets the steel balls into the product, completing the steel ball riveting operation.
[0031] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
