Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical device technology, and in particular to a material handling device using a multi-station rotating material rack. Background Technology

[0002] There are many types of material handling devices, but their purpose is to pick up the material to be handled, and may also include transporting it to the required location. Handling sheet-like materials (also known as flakes) is a very important type of material handling. While there are methods on the market that use stacks of material in conjunction with suction cups, existing methods can only handle one stack, or require multiple handling positions to handle multiple stacks, resulting in relatively low handling efficiency. Furthermore, the upper flakes tend to stick together with the lower flakes during handling, leading to less than ideal results. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a material picking device that uses a multi-station rotating material rack. The rotating turntable allows multiple material trays to be aligned with the through holes of the worktable, so that materials can be picked up from multiple material trays in only one position.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a technical solution as follows: a material picking device using a multi-station rotating material rack is provided, including a machine base, a rotatable turntable, a lifting mechanism and a picking mechanism, wherein the turntable is located above the machine base, and a plurality of material support plates for placing material sheets are evenly spaced on the turntable.

[0005] The bottom of the turntable is connected to a rotary drive mechanism, which includes a rotary drive motor, a slewing bearing and a spur gear. The power output end of the rotary drive motor is fixed to the spur gear, and the spur gear meshes with the slewing bearing. The slewing bearing is installed at the center of the turntable.

[0006] The bottom of the turntable is provided with a grooved track, and multiple omnidirectional balls are installed on the machine platform at the bottom of the grooved track;

[0007] A workbench is provided directly above one side of the machine, the workbench having a through hole, and a lifting mechanism for pushing the material sheet on the material support plate is provided at the bottom of the machine.

[0008] The material handling mechanism includes material handling suction cups with different installation heights, which are respectively defined as the first material handling suction cup and the second material handling suction cup. The first material handling drive cylinder controls the simultaneous lifting and lowering of the first material handling suction cup and the second material handling drive cylinder controls the lifting and lowering of the second material handling suction cup independently.

[0009] Furthermore, the turntable has multiple round holes, the material support plate is placed in the round holes, the material support plate has square holes, and the turntable has multiple fixing clips to fix the material support plate on the turntable.

[0010] Furthermore, the material support plate is provided with multiple baffles, and the distance between the baffles and the center of the material support plate can be adjusted by an adjustment structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism consists of an electric cylinder and a lifting block, with the lifting block fixed to the top of the electric cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the material handling mechanism also includes a material handling seat, the power output end of the first material handling drive cylinder is equipped with the material handling seat, and both the first material handling suction cup and the second material handling drive cylinder are mounted on the material handling seat.

[0013] The second material-grabbing suction cup is installed at the power output end of the second material-grabbing drive cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, the worktable, located at the through hole, is also equipped with a sheet-separating mechanism for layering the sheet material.

[0015] Furthermore, the workbench is also equipped with an air nozzle located at the through hole, which is capable of blowing air onto the material sheet.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] The material handling device of this utility model with multi-station rotating material rack has a reasonable structural design. The rotating turntable allows multiple material trays to be aligned with the through holes of the worktable. Therefore, material handling from multiple material trays can be achieved in just one position.

[0018] In this invention, the material is first separated by a material separating mechanism during material handling, and then assisted by an air blowing nozzle. Furthermore, the first and second material handling suction cups can generate a height difference, which further enhances the material separation effect.

[0019] In this utility model, the bottom of the turntable is provided with a grooved track, and multiple universal balls are installed on the machine platform at the bottom of the grooved track. The universal balls make ball contact with the grooved track on the bottom surface of the turntable, which can make the turntable rotate more smoothly and is more durable than conventional rollers.

[0020] In this invention, the material support plate is equipped with adjustable baffles, which can accommodate materials of different sizes and irregular shapes, thus improving its applicability.

Those skilled in the art can easily understand the advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented in other different ways, that is, different modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope disclosed in this utility model.

[0032] The descriptions of positions such as up, down, left, and right in this embodiment are based on the orientation in the accompanying drawings, have no special meaning, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0033] Example: A material handling device employing a multi-station rotating material rack, such as... Figures 1 to 6As shown, it includes a machine base 1, a rotatable turntable 2, a lifting mechanism 3 and a material handling mechanism 4. The turntable is located above the machine base, and multiple material support plates 5 for placing material pieces 10 are evenly spaced on the turntable.

[0034] The bottom of the turntable is connected to a rotary drive mechanism, which includes a rotary drive motor 61, a rotary bearing 62, and a spur gear 63. The power output end of the rotary drive motor is fixed to the spur gear, and the spur gear meshes with the rotary bearing. The rotary bearing is installed at the center of the turntable.

[0035] The bottom of the turntable is provided with a grooved track 21, and multiple omnidirectional balls 11 are installed on the machine platform at the bottom of the grooved track. In this embodiment, the omnidirectional balls are heavy-duty omnidirectional balls, and the omnidirectional balls make ball contact with the grooved track on the bottom surface of the turntable, which can make the turntable rotate more smoothly and is more durable than conventional rollers.

[0036] A workbench 7 is provided directly above one side of the machine platform. The workbench has a through hole 71. The bottom of the machine platform is provided with a lifting mechanism for pushing the material sheet on the material support plate.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the material handling mechanism includes suction cups with different mounting heights, defined as a first suction cup 41 and a second suction cup 42. A first material handling drive cylinder 43 controls the simultaneous raising and lowering of the first and second suction cups, while a second material handling drive cylinder 44 independently controls the raising and lowering of the second suction cup. This structure is particularly suitable for separating materials with a certain degree of flexibility.

[0038] In this embodiment, the turntable is provided with multiple round holes, the material support plate is placed at the round holes, the material support plate has square holes 51, and the turntable is provided with multiple fixing clips 22 (such as elbow clips, but not limited to these), which fix the material support plate on the turntable.

[0039] In this embodiment, the material support plate is provided with multiple baffle posts 52, and the distance between the baffle posts and the center of the material support plate can be adjusted by an adjustment structure. For example, the material support plate is provided with multiple holes in the radial direction, and the distance between the baffle posts and the center of the material support plate can be adjusted when the mounting blocks at the bottom of the baffle posts are aligned and fixed with different holes.

[0040] The material support plate is equipped with adjustable baffles to accommodate materials of different sizes and irregular shapes, thus expanding its applicability.

[0041] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism consists of an electric cylinder and a lifting block, with the lifting block fixed to the top of the electric cylinder.

[0042] In this embodiment, the material handling mechanism further includes a material handling seat 45, the power output end of the first material handling drive cylinder is equipped with the material handling seat, and the first material handling suction cup and the second material handling drive cylinder are both installed on the material handling seat.

[0043] The second material-grabbing suction cup is installed at the power output end of the second material-grabbing drive cylinder.

[0044] In this embodiment, the workbench, located at the through hole, is also equipped with a sheet-splitting mechanism 8 for layering the sheet material. For example, the sheet-splitting device disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent "A Sheet Material Splitting Device" (Authorization Announcement No.: CN216710945U) can be used.

[0045] A sensor is also provided at the through hole to sense the height of the material sheet.

[0046] In this embodiment, the workbench is also equipped with an air nozzle 9 located at the through hole, which is capable of blowing air onto the material sheet.

[0047] The working principle and process of this utility model:

[0048] First, the loading worker loads the material directly in front. The rotary drive motor drives the turntable to rotate to the material distribution area on the worktable (the rotation of the rotary drive motor's shaft drives the spur gear to rotate, and the spur gear, in conjunction with the rotary support bearing, drives the turntable to rotate).

[0049] Because the material tray can rotate with the turntable, it can rotate and move while carrying materials, so materials only need to be loaded at one location.

[0050] The electric cylinder starts, lifting the stacked material sheets to the sensor position (not exceeding the upper sensor position). The two side separating mechanisms separate the top layer of material sheets from the bottom layer. The air nozzles on both sides further separate the material sheets from each other. The first material picking drive cylinder of the picking device can control the first and second material picking suction cups. The second material picking drive cylinder controls the second material picking suction cup independently. The drop generated by the second material picking suction cup also plays a role in separating the material sheets. The first and second material picking drive cylinders work together to pick up the material sheets by the first and second material picking suction cups when they reach the position. Then, with the help of other robotic arms, the picking device is put down to complete the material rack operation.

[0051] The material is lifted by an electric cylinder driving the stack to rise. After the top layer of material is removed, the electric cylinder will drive the entire stack to rise to a certain height until the sensor detects that the top layer of material is in place, and then repeat the above material removal process.

[0052] Once all the material in a stack has been removed, the rotary drive mechanism moves another support plate directly below the through hole, and the above process is repeated.

[0053] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure made using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
