Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a synchronous execution device for grasping and coding. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, material handling (loading and unloading) and coding (such as laser coding and inkjet coding) are usually done at two separate workstations. The material is first picked up by a robotic arm and moved to the coding station. After the coding equipment completes the coding, another robotic arm removes the material. However, this step-by-step operation has the following drawbacks: 1. The entire process is time-consuming, and the materials need to undergo two positioning and movement processes, resulting in low efficiency; 2. More robotic arms and control systems are needed, increasing equipment costs and floor space. 3. Due to the separation of processes, the coordinated control of the entire production line becomes more complex, and the number of potential failure points also increases. Utility Model Content

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention includes a fixed support platform 1, on which a rotating mechanism 2 and a driving mechanism 3 are provided. The driving end of the rotating mechanism 2 is provided with a rotating plate 5. One end of the rotating plate 5 is provided with a first carrier 6, and the other end is provided with a second carrier 7. Both ends of the rotating plate 5 are provided with limit grooves 8. The driving mechanism 3 can drive a positioning block 9 to move horizontally. When driven by the driving mechanism 3, the positioning block 9 can extend into / disengage from the corresponding limit groove 8.

[0019] In the initial state, the drive mechanism 3 drives the positioning block 9 to move forward, extending the positioning block 8 into a corresponding limiting groove 8 to limit and fix the rotating plate 5. Next, the material to be processed is gripped and placed into the first carrier 6. After placing the material, the next action is performed: the drive mechanism 3 drives the positioning block 8 to retract backward to disengage from the limiting groove 8, thereby releasing the limiting effect on the rotating plate 3. The rotating mechanism 2 drives the rotating plate 3 to rotate 180° clockwise, and extends the positioning block 8 into another limiting groove 8 to again limit the rotating plate. 5. Limit and fix. Further, grab new material and place it in the second carrier 7, while marking the material on the first carrier 6. After marking, drive mechanism 3 drives positioning block 8 to retract to release the limit on rotating plate 3. Rotation mechanism 2 drives rotating plate 3 to rotate counterclockwise 180° again, so that the marked first carrier 6 is reset to the discharge state. At the same time, mark the material on the second carrier 7 again, and grab new material and place it on the first carrier 6, so as to realize the simultaneous grabbing of new material and marking. In the above process, material gripping is achieved by a loading and unloading robot, and barcode scanning is achieved by a movable barcode scanner. The robot and barcode scanner are existing technologies in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0020] In contrast to the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention, through the arrangement of the rotating plate 5, the first carrier 6, and the second carrier 7, separates the loading operation, unloading operation, and coding operation into two parallel operations, which can reduce equipment costs and complexity. Therefore, this invention, through a coordinated gripping and coding synchronization method, can simultaneously realize different operations on materials, reduce labor and labor costs, meet more complex needs, and thus has the advantages of improving production efficiency and reducing costs.

[0021] In some embodiments, an adjustment plate 10 is provided between the first carrier 6 and the rotating plate 5, and between the second carrier 7 and the rotating plate 5. The adjustment plate 10 has multiple first elongated holes 11, and the rotating plate 5 has multiple first connecting holes 14. The multiple first connecting holes 14 correspond to the multiple first elongated holes 11, and a first locking member connects the first elongated holes 11 and the first connecting holes 14. Specifically, when adjusting the position of the first carrier 6 to compensate for minor deviations in the gripping point of the robotic arm or the coding point of the coding device, the position of the adjustment plate 10 along the length of the first elongated holes 11 is adjusted, and the first locking member is connected between the first elongated holes 11 and the first connecting holes 14 to achieve the position adjustment of the first carrier 6.

[0022] In some embodiments, a positioning connecting block 12 is connected between the driving end of the driving mechanism 3 and the positioning block 9; the end of the positioning block 9 has a conical head 13, and the limiting groove 8 is a conical groove adapted to the conical head 13; the positioning block 9 has a plurality of second elongated holes 15, and the rotating plate 5 has a plurality of second connecting holes 4, which are respectively arranged corresponding to the plurality of second elongated holes 15, and a second locking member is connected between the second connecting holes 4 and the second elongated holes 15. Specifically, when adjusting the positioning block 9 to ensure that the end of the positioning block 9 can be accurately inserted into the limiting groove 8, the position of the positioning block 9 in the length direction of the second elongated hole 15 is adjusted, and the second locking member is connected between the second elongated holes 15 to realize the position adjustment of the positioning block 9; in addition, the setting of the conical head 13 and the conical groove makes it easy for the end of the positioning block 9 to limit and fix the limiting groove 8.

[0023] In some embodiments, the upper end face of the positioning connecting block 12 is provided with an elongated positioning groove 16, and the bottom of the positioning block 9 is provided with a positioning part 17 that cooperates with the elongated positioning groove 16. The length direction of the elongated positioning groove 16 is parallel to the length direction of the second elongated hole 15. Specifically, by aligning the length direction of the elongated positioning groove 16 with the length direction of the second elongated hole 15, the positioning block 9 can be easily adjusted in position.

[0024] In some embodiments, both the first carrier 6 and the second carrier 7 are provided with product workstations 18. Each product workstation 18 is provided with at least two positioning pins 19, and a plurality of product limiting blocks 20 are arranged around it. The inner side of each product limiting block 20 is provided with an arc-shaped contact surface 21. Specifically, by placing material on the product workstation 18, the two positioning pins 19 can position the material, and the arc-shaped contact surface 21 surrounding the product workstation 18 can limit the material's movement.

[0025] In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 2 is a rotary cylinder, and the driving mechanism 3 is a driving cylinder. Specifically, the rotary cylinder drives the rotating plate 5 to achieve the position switching of the first carrier 6 and the second carrier 7; the driving cylinder drives the positioning connecting block 12 so that the positioning block 9 can extend into / disengage from the corresponding limiting groove 8.

[0026] The workflow of this utility model is as follows: 1. Initial state: The rotating plate 5 is in the initial position. The drive mechanism 3 is activated to push the positioning block 9 forward, so that the conical head 13 is inserted into the limiting groove 8 located at one end of the rotating plate 5, reliably locking the rotating plate 5. At this time, the first carrier 6 is located at the loading / coding station, and the second carrier 7 is located at the non-working position; 2. Loading at the first station and coding at the second station: The loading / unloading robot places the material to be processed on the product station 18 of the first carrier 6, and completes precise positioning through the positioning pin 19 and the product limit block 20. At the same time, the coding equipment moves to the second carrier 7 and performs coding operation on the material that is already in place there; this step realizes the parallel processing of the "loading" and "coding" processes in terms of time. 3. Station Switching: After the first carrier 6 completes loading and the second carrier 7 completes coding, the drive cylinder 3 retracts, causing the positioning block 9 to disengage from the limiting groove 8, thereby releasing the lock on the rotating plate 5; further, the rotating mechanism 2 drives the rotating plate 5 to rotate 180°. After rotating to the correct position, the drive cylinder 3 actuates again, pushing the positioning block 9 into the limiting groove 8 located at the other end of the rotating plate 5, completing the locking; at this time, the first carrier 6, which has carried new materials, moves to the coding station, and the second carrier 7, which has completed coding, moves to the unloading / loading station; 4. Second station loading and first station coding: The robotic arm takes the coded material from the second carrier 7 and immediately places the new material to be processed on it; at the same time, the coding equipment codes the new material that has been rotated to the first carrier 6 below it. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 in this cycle to achieve continuous material grabbing and coding simultaneously, greatly improving production efficiency.
