Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, specifically to a semi-automatic screw feeding platform mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Semi-automatic screw feeding stations are auxiliary equipment in the industrial assembly field. Their core function is to automate the sorting, sequencing, and precise feeding of screws, reducing repetitive manual screw picking and sorting operations. They typically consist of a vibratory feeder, a feeding track, a positioning mechanism, and a control unit. The vibratory feeder uses high-frequency vibration to organize disordered screws into a uniform orientation (e.g., head up / thread forward), and then transports them to designated picking positions via the feeding track. The positioning mechanism ensures that screws are stably ready for picking. Operators or assembly robots only need to directly grab the screws for fastening, eliminating the need for manual sorting. Compared to purely manual feeding, it can improve screw feeding efficiency by 30% to 50%, while avoiding the problems of incorrect or missed screws caused by manual sorting. It is compatible with various screw sizes from M1 to M12 and is widely used in batch assembly scenarios such as electronics, automotive parts, and hardware products. It balances automation efficiency with equipment cost, making it a cost-effective choice for small to medium batch production.

[0003] In existing PACK production lines, screw feeding is divided into two types: automatic feeding and manual feeding. Automatic feeding is expensive but fast, while manual feeding is cheap but slow. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a semi-automatic screw feeding platform mechanism, which can effectively solve the problems of high cost and fast speed of automatic feeding and low cost and slow speed of manual feeding in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a semi-automatic screw feeding platform mechanism, including a frame and a feeding platform. A foot is fixedly installed at the end of the frame away from the feeding platform. A guide rail is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding platform close to the frame. A slider is fixedly installed on the side of the frame close to the feeding platform. A screw positioning sleeve is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding platform away from the frame. A screw body is inserted into the inner wall of the screw positioning sleeve. A limit component and a clamping component are provided on the side of the feeding platform close to the frame. A detection component is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding platform away from the frame. A fixing frame is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the feeding platform. A mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing frame away from the feeding platform. A handle switch and a handle switch are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the slider one and the guide rail one are slidably connected, and the number of slider one is twice the number of guide rail one.

[0007] With the above technical solution, the staff can drive the loading platform by using the handle switch, causing the slider to slide on the guide rail, thereby moving the loading platform to the outside of the fence, making it easier for the staff to load materials.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a second cylinder, a fixed plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the second cylinder, a limit screw is threadedly connected to the end of the fixed plate near the second cylinder, a limit screw is threadedly connected to the side of the feeding platform near the fixed plate, a hydraulic buffer is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding platform near the fixed plate, a fixed block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed plate, a slide rod is slidably connected to the end of the fixed block away from the fixed plate, a clamping block is fixedly installed at the end of the slide rod near the screw positioning sleeve, a spring is fixedly installed at the end of the clamping block away from the screw positioning sleeve, a guide rail is fixedly installed on the side of the fixed plate near the feeding platform, and a slider is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding platform near the fixed plate. The guide rail and the slider are slidably connected, and the number of sliders is twice the number of guide rails.

[0009] With the above technical solution, after the screw body is loaded, the operator drives cylinder two by using handle switch two. The output end of cylinder two retracts, causing the fixed plate to move towards cylinder two. At the same time, it causes slider two to slide on guide rail two, thereby causing the clamping block to move towards the screw positioning sleeve, clamping the screw body. This prevents the screw body from rotating during the movement, which would cause multiple screw bodies to have inconsistent angles, affecting the normal operation of the robot and improving the stability of the working process.

[0010] Preferably, the second limiting screw is compatible with the first limiting screw and the hydraulic buffer.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the cooperation of limit screw two, limit screw one and hydraulic buffer can ensure that the fixing plate stops accurately when it moves to the preset position, avoid the stroke deviation caused by size mismatch, and thus ensure that the clamping block can accurately align with the screw body in the screw positioning sleeve, and improve the clamping success rate; on the other hand, it plays a buffering and limiting role, which can weaken the impact force of the fixing plate.

[0012] Preferably, there are multiple identical clamping blocks and screw positioning sleeves, and the multiple clamping blocks and screw positioning sleeves are distributed at equal intervals, with each clamping block and screw positioning sleeve corresponding to the other.

[0013] The above technical solution, through the design of multiple clamping blocks and screw positioning sleeves, can simultaneously clamp and feed multiple screw bodies, greatly improving the feeding speed in mass production and adapting to the high-efficiency assembly requirements of assembly lines.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting component includes a cylinder one, a limiting pin is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder one, a pin sleeve is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the feeding platform, a mounting bracket two is fixedly installed on the side of the frame near the feeding platform, a proximity switch is fixedly installed at the end of the mounting bracket two away from the frame, a detection screw is threadedly connected to the side of the feeding platform near the proximity switch, the limiting pin is adapted to the pin sleeve, and the detection screw is adapted to the proximity switch.

[0015] With the above technical solution, after the screw body is clamped, the operator uses handle switch one to return the loading platform along the original path. When the detected screw moves to the proximity switch, the proximity switch can trigger an alarm or pause signal to prevent the screw body from falling off or the equipment from colliding, thus improving operational safety. Then, the operator uses handle switch two to start cylinder one. The output end of cylinder one extends, allowing the limit pin to be inserted into the inside of the pin sleeve. When the robot arm picks up the material, it is not easy for it to shake, and the stability is high.

[0016] Preferably, the detection component includes a mounting bracket three, on the outer wall of which a photoelectric sensor is fixedly mounted, the photoelectric sensor being located above the screw body.

[0017] Through the above technical solution and the design of the detection component, it is possible to detect whether the entire screw body has been removed, avoiding human error in detection and improving the reliability and automation of the feeding operation.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a semi-automatic screw feeding platform mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This semi-automatic screw loading platform mechanism, through the design of the clamping components, can clamp the screw body, preventing the screw body from rotating during movement and causing multiple screw bodies to have inconsistent edge orientations, which would affect the normal operation of the robot and improve the stability of the working process. Through the cooperation of limit screw two, limit screw one and hydraulic buffer, it can ensure that the fixing plate stops accurately when it moves to the preset position, avoiding the stroke deviation caused by size mismatch, thereby ensuring that the clamping block can accurately align with the screw body in the screw positioning sleeve, improving the clamping success rate; on the other hand, it plays a buffering and limiting role, which can weaken the impact force of the fixing plate. 2. This semi-automatic screw loading platform mechanism, through the design of the limit components, prevents the robot arm from shaking during material handling, ensuring high stability. The detection components can detect whether an entire screw body has been removed, avoiding human error and improving the reliability and automation of the loading operation. With two loading platforms, the robot arm retrieves screw bodies from one platform at a time. Only after all screw bodies on one platform have been removed will the robot arm retrieve screw bodies from the other. When one platform is empty, the station's audible and visual alarm will sound, prompting the operator to replenish the corresponding platform with screw bodies. Once replenished, the operator pushes the platform to its working position and positions it, awaiting the robot arm's retrieval. This process repeats, achieving human-machine collaboration, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1: like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a semi-automatic screw feeding platform mechanism, including a frame 1 and a feeding platform 2. A foot 3 is fixedly installed at the end of the frame 1 away from the feeding platform 2. A guide rail 4 is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding platform 2 close to the frame 1. A slider 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the frame 1 close to the feeding platform 2. A screw positioning sleeve 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding platform 2 away from the frame 1. A screw body 7 is inserted into the inner wall of the screw positioning sleeve 6. A limit component 8 and a clamping component 9 are provided on the side of the feeding platform 2 close to the frame 1. A detection component 10 is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding platform 2 away from the frame 1. A fixing frame 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the feeding platform 2. A mounting bracket 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing frame 11 away from the feeding platform 2. A handle switch 13 and a handle switch 2 14 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting bracket 12.

[0023] Specifically, slider 5 and guide rail 4 are slidably connected, and the number of sliders 5 is twice the number of guide rails 4. The advantage is that the operator can drive the loading platform 2 through handle switch 13, causing slider 5 to slide on guide rail 4, thereby moving the loading platform 2 to the outside of the fence, making it easier for the operator to load materials.

[0024] Specifically, the clamping assembly 9 includes a second cylinder 901, a fixed plate 902 fixedly mounted on the output end of the second cylinder 901, a limit screw 903 threadedly connected to one end of the fixed plate 902 near the second cylinder 901, a limit screw 904 threadedly connected to one side of the loading platform 2 near the fixed plate 902, a hydraulic buffer 905 fixedly mounted on the side of the loading platform 2 near the fixed plate 902, and a fixing block 906 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the fixed plate 902, the fixing block 906 being located away from the fixed plate 901. One end of the 2 is slidably connected to a slide rod 907. A clamping block 908 is fixedly installed at the end of the slide rod 907 near the screw positioning sleeve 6. A spring 909 is fixedly installed at the end of the clamping block 908 away from the screw positioning sleeve 6. A guide rail 910 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixed plate 902 near the loading platform 2. A slider 911 is fixedly installed on the side of the loading platform 2 near the fixed plate 902. The guide rail 910 and the slider 911 are slidably connected. The number of sliders 911 is twice the number of guide rails 910. The advantage is that after the screw body 7 is loaded, the operator drives the cylinder 901 through the handle switch 14. The output end of the cylinder 901 retracts, which moves the fixing plate 902 toward the cylinder 901. At the same time, the slider 911 slides on the guide rail 910, thereby moving the clamping block 908 toward the screw positioning sleeve 6 to clamp the screw body 7. This prevents the screw body 7 from rotating during the movement, which would cause the edges of multiple screw bodies 7 to face in different directions, affecting the normal operation of the robot and improving the stability of the operation.

[0025] Specifically, the second limiting screw 904 is compatible with the first limiting screw 903 and the hydraulic buffer 905. The advantage is that the cooperation of the second limiting screw 904, the first limiting screw 903, and the hydraulic buffer 905 ensures that the fixing plate 902 stops precisely when it moves to the preset position, avoiding travel deviations caused by size mismatches. This ensures that the clamping block 908 can accurately align with the screw body 7 inside the screw positioning sleeve 6, improving the clamping success rate. On the other hand, it plays a synergistic role in buffering and limiting, reducing the impact force on the fixing plate 902.

[0026] Example 2: like Figure 2-7 As shown, as an improvement over the previous embodiment, to further increase the feeding speed, specifically, multiple identical clamping blocks 908 and screw positioning sleeves 6 are provided, with the multiple clamping blocks 908 and screw positioning sleeves 6 distributed at equal intervals, and each clamping block 908 and screw positioning sleeve 6 corresponding to another. The advantage is that, through the design of multiple clamping blocks 908 and screw positioning sleeves 6, multiple screw bodies 7 can be clamped and fed simultaneously, significantly improving the feeding speed in mass production and adapting to the high-efficiency assembly requirements of assembly lines.

[0027] Specifically, the limiting component 8 includes a cylinder 801, a limiting pin 802 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 801, a pin sleeve 803 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the feeding platform 2, a mounting bracket 804 is fixedly installed on the side of the frame 1 near the feeding platform 2, a proximity switch 805 is fixedly installed on the end of the mounting bracket 804 away from the frame 1, and a detection screw 806 is threadedly connected to the side of the feeding platform 2 near the proximity switch 805. The limiting pin 802 is adapted to the pin sleeve 803, and the detection screw 806 is adapted to the proximity switch 805. The advantage is that after clamping the screw body 7, the operator can use handle switch 13 to return the loading platform 2 along the original path. When the detected screw 806 moves to the proximity switch 805, the proximity switch 805 can trigger an alarm or pause signal to prevent the screw body 7 from falling off or the equipment from colliding, thus improving operational safety. Subsequently, the operator can use handle switch 214 to start cylinder 801. The output end of cylinder 801 extends, allowing the limit pin 802 to be inserted into the pin sleeve 803. When the robot arm picks up the material, it is less likely to shake, resulting in higher stability.

[0028] Specifically, the detection component 10 includes a mounting bracket 3 1001, on the outer wall of which a photoelectric sensor 1002 is fixedly mounted. The photoelectric sensor 1002 is located above the screw body 7. The advantage is that the design of the detection component 10 allows for the detection of whether the entire screw body 7 has been removed, avoiding human error and improving the reliability and automation of the loading operation.

[0029] Working principle: During use, the operator drives the loading platform 2 via handle switch 13, causing slider 5 to slide on guide rail 4. This moves the loading platform 2 outward from the fence, facilitating loading. After loading the screw body 7, the operator drives cylinder 901 via handle switch 14. The output end of cylinder 901 retracts, moving the fixing plate 902 towards cylinder 901. Simultaneously, slider 911 slides on guide rail 910, causing clamping block 908 to move towards screw positioning sleeve 6, clamping the screw body 7 and preventing rotation of the screw body 7 during movement. Inconsistent angle orientations can affect the normal operation of the robotic arm. To improve stability during operation, the cooperation of limit screws 904 and 903, along with the hydraulic buffer 905, ensures that the fixed plate 902 stops precisely when it moves to the preset position, avoiding travel deviations caused by size mismatches. This ensures that the clamping block 908 can accurately align with the screw body 7 inside the screw positioning sleeve 6, improving the clamping success rate. On the other hand, the buffering and limiting functions work together to reduce the impact force of the fixed plate 902. Through the design of multiple clamping blocks 908 and screw positioning sleeves 6, multiple screw bodies 7 can be clamped and loaded simultaneously, significantly improving the loading speed in mass production. To meet the high-efficiency assembly requirements of a production line, after clamping the screw body 7, the operator uses handle switch 13 to return the loading platform 2 along the original path. When the detected screw 806 moves to the proximity switch 805, the proximity switch 805 can trigger an alarm or pause signal to prevent the screw body 7 from falling off or colliding with the equipment, thus improving operational safety. Subsequently, the operator uses handle switch 214 to activate cylinder 801. The output end of cylinder 801 extends, allowing the limit pin 802 to insert into the pin sleeve 803. This prevents the robotic arm from shaking during material handling, ensuring high stability. Through the design of the detection component 10, it is possible to detect whether the entire screw body 7 is properly secured. All screws are removed to avoid human error in inspection and improve the reliability and automation of the loading operation. The robotic arm takes screw bodies 7 from one of the two loading platforms 2 each time. Only after the screw bodies 7 on one loading platform 2 have been completely removed will the robotic arm take screw bodies 7 from the other loading platform 2. When a loading platform 2 is empty, the station's audible and visual alarm will sound to remind the staff to replenish the corresponding loading platform 2 with screw bodies 7. After the screw bodies 7 are replenished, the staff will push the loading platform 2 to the working position and position it, waiting for the robotic arm to pick up the screws. This process is repeated to achieve human-machine collaboration, reduce costs and increase efficiency.
