Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated processing equipment technology, and in particular to a positioning device for irregularly shaped materials. Background Technology

[0002] The material storage device in wire EDM automation equipment is a device used to buffer materials. It is usually configured as a machine table on which workers stack materials for subsequent equipment to retrieve. Because the materials produced by wire EDM vary in shape and are mostly irregular, it is difficult for workers to stack the materials neatly on the machine table, which can easily lead to deviations when retrieving materials. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a positioning device for irregularly shaped materials, so as to solve the problem that when workers stack materials neatly on the machine table, the material storage device in the existing wire cutting automation equipment is configured as a machine table.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A non-standard material positioning device includes a turntable and a positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism includes several positioning components, each including vertically extending vertical push rods. The vertical push rods together form an upward-opening positioning space for materials to be stacked vertically. The vertical push rods can move relative to each other to adjust the shape and size of the positioning space, so that the materials stacked vertically in the positioning space are aligned.

[0005] Furthermore, the positioning assembly also includes a vertical guide post and an adjusting arm. The vertical guide post is fixed on the turntable and extends vertically. The adjusting arm is movably connected to the vertical guide post and connected to the vertical push rod. The adjusting arm can move vertically along the vertical guide post and rotate circumferentially around the vertical guide post, allowing the several vertical push rods to move relative to each other to adjust the shape and size of the positioning space.

[0006] Furthermore, the adjusting arm includes a sliding sleeve and a horizontal push rod. The sliding sleeve passes through the vertical guide post and can move up and down along the vertical guide post and rotate around the vertical guide post. The horizontal push rod is disposed on the sliding sleeve and connected to the vertical push rod. The horizontal push rod extends horizontally and can move horizontally relative to the sliding sleeve.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the vertical guide columns is provided with a plurality of adjusting arms that are spaced apart vertically and connected to the vertical push rod, and the plurality of adjusting arms on the same vertical guide column move synchronously.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a material transfer mechanism located on one side of the turntable. There are several positioning mechanisms, which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the turntable. The turntable can rotate in its circumferential direction to allow the positioning mechanisms to rotate sequentially to one side of the material transfer mechanism. The material transfer mechanism is used to transfer the material from the positioning mechanism that has been moved to its side.

[0009] Furthermore, the turntable is provided with a plurality of lifting holes, and the plurality of lifting holes correspond one-to-one with a plurality of positioning mechanisms. The plurality of vertical push rods of the same positioning mechanism are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the corresponding lifting holes. It also includes a lifting seat, which is located on one side of the material transfer mechanism. When the positioning mechanism moves to the side of the material transfer mechanism, the lifting seat can move up and down relative to the turntable and extend into or out of the positioning space through the lifting holes.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism includes four positioning components, with the four positioning components of the same positioning mechanism arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the corresponding lifting holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the material transfer mechanism includes a vertical support arm, a horizontal support arm, a sliding arm, and a pick-up suction head. The vertical support arm is located on one side of the turntable and extends vertically. The horizontal support arm is located on the vertical support arm and extends horizontally. The sliding arm is located on the horizontal support arm and has the pick-up suction head at its lower end. The sliding arm can move along the horizontal support arm to the positioning mechanism located on one side of the material transfer mechanism. The pick-up suction head can move vertically relative to the sliding arm and extend into or out of the positioning space.

[0012] The advantage of this technical solution is that by configuring a positioning mechanism consisting of several positioning components on the turntable, the positioning components include vertically extending push rods. The several vertical push rods together form an upward-opening positioning space and can move relative to each other to adjust the shape and size of the positioning space. Therefore, the positioning mechanism can adjust the shape and size of the positioning space by adjusting the relative position of the several vertical push rods to adapt to the shape of the material, so that the material is neatly stacked in the positioning space, which is convenient for subsequent material retrieval.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] 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.

[0017] Example: Figure 1-7 As shown, the irregular material positioning device includes a turntable 1 and a positioning mechanism 2. The positioning mechanism 2 includes several positioning components 201. Each positioning component 201 includes vertically extending push rods 202. The several vertical push rods 202 surround and form an upward-opening positioning space 203. The positioning space 203 is for materials to be stacked and placed in. The several vertical push rods 202 can move relative to each other to adjust the shape and size of the positioning space 203, so that the materials stacked in the positioning space 203 are aligned with each other.

[0018] When using this irregularly shaped material positioning device to store materials, the steps are as follows: First, adjust the relative positions of several vertical push rods 202 so that the cross-section of the positioning space 203 is basically consistent with the shape and size of the material; Next, several materials are placed into the positioning space 203, and the materials are stacked one on top of the other in the positioning space 203. Finally, the relative positions of several vertical push rods 202 are finely adjusted so that the vertical push rods 202 abut against the materials, so that the materials stacked on top of each other are aligned, thereby making the materials neatly stacked in the positioning space 203.

[0019] In summary, this embodiment provides a positioning device for irregularly shaped materials to solve the problem that in existing wire cutting automation equipment, when the material storage device is configured as a machine table, it is difficult for workers to stack materials neatly on the machine table. This is mainly achieved by configuring a positioning mechanism 2 on the turntable 1, which consists of several positioning components 201. The positioning components 201 include vertically extending push rods 202. The several vertical push rods 202 surround and form an upward-opening positioning space 203, which can be moved relatively to adjust the shape and size of the positioning space 203. Therefore, the positioning mechanism 2 can adjust the shape and size of the positioning space 203 by adjusting the relative position of the several vertical push rods 202 to adapt to the shape of the material, so that the material is neatly stacked in the positioning space 203, which is convenient for subsequent material retrieval.

[0020] In this embodiment of the invention, the positioning component 201 further includes a vertical guide post 204 and an adjusting arm 205. The vertical guide post 204 is fixed on the turntable 1 and extends vertically. The adjusting arm 205 is movably connected to the vertical guide post 204 and connected to the vertical push rod 202. The adjusting arm 205 can move up and down along the vertical guide post 204 and rotate around the vertical guide post 204, allowing the relative movement of the several vertical push rods 202 to adjust the shape and size of the positioning space 203. The above configuration, by setting the positioning component 201 to include a vertical guide post 204, an adjusting arm 205, and a vertical push rod 202, with the vertical guide post 204 fixed on the turntable 1 and the adjusting arm 205 movably connected to the vertical guide post 204 and connected to the vertical push rod 202, allows the relative movement of the several vertical push rods 202 to adjust the shape and size of the positioning space 203. This results in a simple adjustment structure and convenient implementation.

[0021] In this embodiment of the invention, the adjusting arm 205 includes a sliding sleeve 206 and a horizontal push rod 207. The sliding sleeve 206 passes through the vertical guide post 204 and can move up and down along the vertical guide post 204 and rotate around the vertical guide post 204. The horizontal push rod 207 is disposed on the sliding sleeve 206 and connected to the vertical push rod 202. The horizontal push rod 207 extends horizontally and can move horizontally relative to the sliding sleeve 206. By configuring the adjusting arm 205 with a sliding sleeve 206 and a horizontal push rod 207, the sliding sleeve 206 can move up and down along the vertical guide post 204 and rotate around the vertical guide post 204. The horizontal push rod 207 can drive the vertical push rod 202 to move horizontally relative to the sliding sleeve 206, thereby allowing several vertical push rods 202 to move relative to each other to adjust the shape and size of the positioning space 203, making the adjustment flexible and versatile.

[0022] In this embodiment of the invention, the sliding sleeve 206 is provided with a first fastener (not shown in the figure) and a second fastener (not shown in the figure). The first fastener can move relative to the sliding sleeve 206 to lock the sliding sleeve 206 onto the vertical guide post 204 or release the sliding sleeve 206. The second fastener can move relative to the sliding sleeve 206 to lock the horizontal push rod 207 onto the sliding sleeve 206 or release the horizontal push rod 207. Specifically, the first fastener and the second fastener are bolts threaded onto the sliding sleeve 206.

[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, each vertical guide post 204 is provided with a plurality of adjusting arms 205 spaced vertically and connected to the vertical push rod 202, and the plurality of adjusting arms 205 on the same vertical guide post 204 move synchronously. The above arrangement, by configuring a plurality of adjusting arms 205 spaced vertically and connected to the vertical push rod 202 on the vertical guide post 204, makes the vertical push rod 202 move stably and smoothly and has a good pushing effect.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, a material transfer mechanism 3 is also provided on one side of the turntable 1. Several positioning mechanisms 2 are provided, spaced apart circumferentially on the turntable 1. The turntable 1 can rotate circumferentially to allow the positioning mechanisms 2 to sequentially rotate to one side of the material transfer mechanism 3. The material transfer mechanism 3 is used to transfer material from the positioning mechanisms 2 that have been moved to its side. By configuring the material transfer mechanism 3 on one side of the turntable 1 and arranging the turntable 1 to rotate circumferentially to allow the positioning mechanisms 2 to sequentially rotate to one side of the material transfer mechanism 3, the above configuration results in a high material storage capacity and high material transfer efficiency for the irregularly shaped material positioning device.

[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, the turntable 1 is provided with a plurality of lifting holes 101, which correspond one-to-one with a plurality of positioning mechanisms 2. A plurality of vertical push rods 202 of the same positioning mechanism 2 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the corresponding lifting holes 101. The turntable also includes a lifting seat 4, which is located on one side of the material transfer mechanism 3. When the positioning mechanism 2 moves to the side of the material transfer mechanism 3, the lifting seat 4 can move up and down relative to the turntable 1, extending into or out of the positioning space 203 through the lifting holes 101. This arrangement, by configuring lifting holes 101 on the turntable 1 and a lifting seat 4 on one side of the material transfer mechanism 3, allows the lifting seat 4 to move up and down relative to the turntable 1, extending into or out of the positioning space 203 through the lifting holes 101 when the positioning mechanism 2 moves to the side of the material transfer mechanism 3. Since the lifting seat 4 lifts the material in the positioning space 203 upwards when it extends into the positioning space 203, it facilitates material transfer by the material transfer mechanism 3.

[0026] In this embodiment of the present invention, the positioning mechanism 2 includes four positioning components 201. The four positioning components 201 of the same positioning mechanism 2 are arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the corresponding lifting holes 101. By configuring the positioning mechanism 2 to consist of four positioning components 201, with the four positioning components 201 of the same positioning mechanism 2 arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the corresponding lifting holes 101, the positioning mechanism 2 has good palletizing effect and excellent adaptability.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, the material transfer mechanism 3 includes a vertical support arm 301, a horizontal support arm 302, a sliding arm 303, and a suction head 304. The vertical support arm 301 is located on one side of the turntable 1 and extends vertically. The horizontal support arm 302 is located on the vertical support arm 301 and extends horizontally. The sliding arm 303 is located on the horizontal support arm 302 and has a suction head 304 at its lower end. The sliding arm 303 can move along the horizontal support arm 302 to the positioning mechanism 2 located on one side of the material transfer mechanism 3. The suction head 304 can move vertically relative to the sliding arm 303, extending into or out of the positioning space 203. By configuring the material transfer mechanism 3 with a vertical support arm 301, a horizontal support arm 302, a sliding arm 303, and a suction head 304, the material transfer mechanism 3 can move in multiple dimensions, has flexible material transfer capabilities, and achieves excellent results.
