Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automated feeding equipment for flat panel screens, and specifically relates to a tray mechanism at the bottom of a tray hopper. Background Technology

[0002] Most trays on the market have tray partitioning slots or can be easily partitioned using magnetic attraction. However, trays without partitioning slots or with trays tightly fitted together cannot be partitioned. In such cases, it usually requires redesigning the tray or switching to manual loading, which will hinder the entire design process.

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a tray-separating mechanism at the bottom of the tray hopper, which, through ingenious structural design, can realize the function of automatically separating trays that are difficult to separate, thus solving the process problem.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a tray separation mechanism at the bottom of a tray hopper, including a tray hopper 1, tray stripping components 3 disposed on both sides below the tray 2, and a conveying mechanism 4 disposed below the tray 3. The tray stripping components 3 include a clamping component 31 and a vertical moving component 32, with the clamping component 31 mounted on the vertical moving component 32. In use, workers stack trays into the tray hopper 1. The clamping component 31, driven by the vertical moving component 32, rises to a support position and clamps the bottom tray. One side of the clamping component 31 descends first to separate the bottom tray 2, and then both sides of the clamping component 31 descend simultaneously, placing the tray 2 onto the conveying mechanism 4 to complete the loading action. This achieves the function of automatically separating trays that are difficult to separate, solving the process problem.

[0024] The gripping assembly 31 includes a gripper cylinder 311 and a gripper 312 connected to the gripper cylinder 311. The gripper cylinder 311 is mounted on the cylinder mounting plate 313. The gripper cylinder 311 can control the closing and opening of the gripper 312 to achieve the gripping and releasing of the Tray 2.

[0025] The vertical moving assembly 32 includes a stepper motor 321, a ball screw 322 connected to the stepper motor 321, a connecting plate 323, a slider 324, a slide rail 325, and a vertical mounting plate 326. The ball screw 322 passes through the connecting plate 323. One end of the connecting plate 323 is connected to the slider 324, and the other end is connected to the cylinder mounting plate 313. The slider 324 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 325, which is mounted on the vertical mounting plate 326. The stepper motor 321 drives the ball screw 322 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting plate 323 to move up and down, and thus moving the gripping assembly 31 up and down. The slider 324 and the slide rail 325 serve as guides and limiters.

[0026] The stepper motor 321 is mounted on the motor mounting plate 327, which is connected to the vertical mounting plate 326 to facilitate fixing the stepper motor 321.

[0027] Tray hopper 1 includes a support column 11, a base plate 12 mounted on the support column 11, corner blocks 13 mounted on the base plate 12, a cylinder with a guide rod 14, and a rubber-coated clamping block 15 connected to the cylinder with the guide rod 14. The base plate 12 has a through hole for the tray to pass through. The corner blocks 13 are located at the four corners of the through hole. The cylinder with the guide rod 14 is located on the side of the through hole and is used to cover the long side of the tray. The rubber-coated clamping block 15 and the corner blocks 13 clamp and fix the tray.

[0028] A photoelectric switch 16 is also installed on the base plate 12 to detect the descent of the Tray 2.

[0029] Several guide rod cylinders 14 are provided, and these cylinders 14 are distributed on both sides of the tray 2. Guide rod cylinders 14 are also provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the base plate 12. When the lowermost tray 2 needs to be lowered, the guide rod cylinders 14 located below the base plate 12 retract with the rubber-coated clamping blocks 15, creating a clearance and facilitating the tray 2 to fall onto the conveying mechanism 4.

[0030] The conveying mechanism 4 includes two sets of belt transmission assemblies. Each belt transmission assembly includes a motor 41, a driving pulley 42, a driven pulley 43, and a synchronous belt 44. The motor 41 is connected to the driving pulley 42, and the synchronous belt 44 is fitted onto the driving pulley 42 and the driven pulley 43. The motor 41 drives the driving pulley 42 to rotate, which in turn drives the synchronous belt 44 to transmit power, thereby realizing the conveying of the tray 2.

[0031] A guide plate 5 is provided between the up-and-down moving component 32 and the conveying mechanism 4 to facilitate the tray 2 to fall neatly onto the conveying mechanism 4.

[0032] In operation, a stack of full trays 2 is manually placed into the tray hopper 1. The tray hopper 1 is guided and limited by four sets of limiting corner blocks 13. The entire stack of trays 2 is supported on two symmetrically placed cylinders 14 with guide rods. After the equipment is started, the two symmetrically placed cylinders 14 with guide rods on the tray hopper 1 extend to fix the trays 2 above the bottom tray 2. At the same time, the tray stripping assembly 3 raises the grippers 312 to the set position to grip the bottom tray 2. One gripper 312 first descends to a specified height to achieve single-sided separation of the tray 2. Then, both sets of tray stripping assemblies 3 descend to the specified height to achieve complete separation of the trays 2. Finally, the separated trays 2 are placed on the conveying mechanism 4 for the normal operation of subsequent processes.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and structure of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
