Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic feeding equipment technology, and in particular to a dock-type automatic feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive connectors are primarily used for wiring harness connections in automotive circuits, serving as electrical relay stations between electrical devices. Blind seals are crucial components of automotive connectors, used to enclose unused sockets or terminals in the connector's plastic housing. Their main functions are waterproofing, dustproofing, and insulation, ensuring stable operation of the wiring harness connector in complex environments.

[0003] In existing technologies, during the blind plugging assembly of connectors, the plastic shell is transported to different positions by a conveyor belt for positioning, feeding, and other steps. However, the conveyor belt can only be moved in a step-by-step manner, resulting in a single dimension of conveying motion and weak flexible production capabilities. At the same time, the conveying efficiency is low, the cycle time per unit is long, and the overall production cycle is lengthened. In addition, the conveyor belt layout requires a large area, wasting factory space. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a dock-type automatic feeder to address the problems of low conveying efficiency, long production cycle, low flexible production capacity, and low equipment space utilization in the existing connector blind assembly process that relies on conveyor belts to transport plastic shells.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: A dock-type automatic feeding machine includes a dock seat, on which at least two carrier placement slots are provided. A transverse movement mechanism is arranged on one side of the dock seat. The transverse movement mechanism is installed in cooperation with a positioning fixture through a lifting mechanism. The transverse movement mechanism drives the positioning fixture to move linearly along a first horizontal direction and / or along a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The lifting mechanism drives the positioning fixture to move linearly in the vertical direction. The positioning fixture, driven by the transverse mechanism, reaches directly above one of the carrier placement slots. Driven by the lifting mechanism, it moves vertically downward in a straight line and falls into the corresponding carrier placement slot, where it waits for the workpiece to be loaded. After the material is loaded, the positioning fixture moves vertically upward under the drive of the lifting mechanism, thereby detaching from the corresponding carrier placement slot. Then, under the drive of the transverse mechanism, the workpiece is transported through the positioning fixture.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: The structure of the transverse mechanism is as follows: it includes a first linear module arranged along a first horizontal direction, the output end of the first linear module is connected to a first transverse base, the top of the first transverse base is fixed with a second linear module arranged along a second horizontal direction, and the output end of the second linear module is connected to a second transverse base.

[0007] The end face of the second transverse seat is provided with a clearance hole for avoiding the lifting mechanism.

[0008] The first linear module is fixed to the top of the mounting platform, and the first slide rail assembly is installed between the first transverse seat and the mounting platform.

[0009] A second slide rail assembly is installed between the second transverse sliding seat and the first transverse sliding seat.

[0010] The lifting mechanism has the following structure: it includes a lifting electric module arranged in a vertical direction, and the output end of the lifting electric module is connected to the lifting plate through a connecting plate.

[0011] The bottom of the connecting plate is fixed with two lifting guide columns symmetrically arranged opposite the lifting electric module. Each lifting guide column is installed in conjunction with a first linear bearing fixed on the outer wall of the lifting electric module.

[0012] The positioning fixture has the following structure: it includes a mounting plate, and several plastic shell placement carriers are fixed on the top of the mounting plate. Each plastic shell placement carrier is used to place the workpiece.

[0013] Several positioning holes are provided on the bottom of the mounting plate.

[0014] The lifting mechanism is installed in conjunction with the positioning fixture through a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism has the following structure: it includes a rotating cylinder, the output end of which is connected to a rotating seat, and several positioning pins are installed on the top of the rotating seat. The positioning pins are set one-to-one with the positioning holes.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model has a compact and reasonable structure and is easy to operate. By setting up a transverse movement mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a positioning fixture, it can realize linear movement in the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and has flexible production capabilities. It has high accuracy in conveying stroke, effectively improves conveying efficiency and compacts the production cycle. At the same time, the compact structure can effectively improve the space utilization of the equipment.

[0016] This utility model also has the following advantages: (1) By setting up a dock seat with multiple carrier placement slots, this utility model can cooperate with positioning fixtures to achieve uninterrupted feeding and conveying, reduce waiting time, improve production continuity, and further improve conveying efficiency; and can flexibly adapt to the production needs of different workpieces, thereby improving the equipment's flexible production capabilities.

[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] The structure and function of this utility model are as follows: like Figure 1 As shown, the dock-type automatic loading machine of this embodiment includes a dock seat 2, on which at least two carrier placement slots 3 are provided. A transverse movement mechanism 5 is arranged on one side of the dock seat 2. The transverse movement mechanism 5 is installed in cooperation with a positioning fixture 9 through a lifting mechanism 6. The transverse movement mechanism 5 drives the positioning fixture 9 to move linearly in a first horizontal direction and / or in a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The lifting mechanism 6 drives the positioning fixture 9 to move linearly in a vertical direction. Under the drive of the transverse movement mechanism 5, the positioning fixture 9 reaches directly above one of the carrier placement slots 3. Under the drive of the lifting mechanism 6, it moves linearly downward in a vertical direction and falls into the corresponding carrier placement slot 3, thus waiting for the workpiece 10 to be loaded. After loading is completed, the positioning fixture 9 moves linearly upward in a vertical direction under the drive of the lifting mechanism 6, thus disengaging from the corresponding carrier placement slot 3. Then, under the drive of the transverse movement mechanism 5, the positioning fixture 9 transports the workpiece 10. By setting up a transverse movement mechanism 5, a lifting mechanism 6, and a positioning fixture 9, linear motion in the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction, and the vertical direction can be realized, which has flexible production capabilities, high conveying stroke accuracy, effectively improves conveying efficiency, and compacts the production cycle; at the same time, the structure is compact and can effectively improve the space utilization of the equipment.

[0033] The feeding machine 15 of this utility model includes a dock seat 2, a transverse movement mechanism 5, a lifting mechanism 6, a rotating mechanism 8, and a positioning fixture 9; wherein... like Figure 2 As shown, in this utility model, the dock seat 2 has multiple carrier placement slots 3, preferably two carrier placement slots 3; the inner bottom wall of a single carrier placement slot 3 is hollowed out to avoid interfering with the movement of the positioning fixture 9; the dock seat 2 is provided with a waste collection channel 4 for recycling unqualified workpieces 10.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figures 3-4 As shown, the structure of the transverse mechanism 5 is as follows: it includes a first linear module 501 arranged along a first horizontal direction, the output end of the first linear module 501 is connected to a first transverse base 505, and a second linear module 502 arranged along a second horizontal direction is fixed to the top of the first transverse base 505. The output end of the second linear module 502 is connected to a second transverse base 506. By setting the first linear module 501 and the second linear module 502, the positioning fixture 9 can be driven to move flexibly in two horizontal directions, thereby accurately reaching different positions.

[0035] The end face of the second transverse base 506 is provided with a clearance hole 507 for avoiding the lifting mechanism 6. By providing the clearance hole 507, the lifting mechanism 6 can be integrated into the second transverse base 506 and interference with its operation can be avoided.

[0036] The first linear module 501 is fixed to the top of the mounting platform 1. A first slide rail assembly 503 is installed between the first transverse sliding seat 505 and the mounting platform 1. A second slide rail assembly 504 is installed between the second transverse sliding seat 506 and the first transverse sliding seat 505. By setting the first slide rail assembly 503 and the second slide rail assembly 504, the movement stability of the corresponding transverse sliding seat can be improved. In this utility model, both the first slide rail assembly 503 and the second slide rail assembly 504 include a slide rail and several sliders installed on the slide rail. The slide rail in the first slide rail assembly 503 is arranged along a first horizontal direction, and the slide rail in the second slide rail assembly 504 is arranged along a second horizontal direction.

[0037] In this utility model, the mounting platform 1 is used to support the dock seat 2 and the transverse movement mechanism 5; the top of the second transverse movement seat 506 is also equipped with a material bucket 7 for collecting waste generated during the assembly process.

[0038] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the structure of the lifting mechanism 6 is as follows: it includes a lifting electric module 601 arranged in the vertical direction. The output end of the lifting electric module 601 is connected to the lifting plate 603 through the connecting plate 602. The lifting electric module 601 extends or retracts, thereby driving the lifting plate 603 to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0039] Two lifting guide columns 604 symmetrically arranged opposite lifting electric modules 601 are fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 602. Each lifting guide column 604 is installed in conjunction with a first linear bearing 605 fixed to the outer wall of the lifting electric module 601. By setting the lifting guide column 604 and the first linear bearing 605 installed in conjunction with the lifting guide column 604, the movement stability of the lifting plate 603 can be improved.

[0040] In addition, a second linear bearing 606 is installed on the lifting plate 603, and a guide column (not shown in the attached figure) is installed inside the second linear bearing 606. The end of the guide column is fixed to the second transverse seat 506. By setting the second linear bearing 606 and the guide column, the movement stability of the lifting plate 603 can be improved when the lifting plate 603 moves up and down relative to the second transverse seat 506.

[0041] The positioning fixture 9 has the following structure: it includes a mounting plate 901, and several plastic shell placement carriers 902 are fixed to the top of the mounting plate 901. Each plastic shell placement carrier 902 is used to place the workpiece 10. By setting multiple plastic shell placement carriers 902, batch transportation of the workpiece 10 can be achieved, effectively improving the work efficiency of subsequent operations.

[0042] The bottom of the mounting plate 901 has several positioning holes 903. By setting the positioning holes 903, which cooperate with the positioning pins 803, the positioning fixture 9 and the rotating mechanism 8 can be quickly and accurately positioned and connected, ensuring that the installation is stable and the position is accurate, avoiding deviation, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the workpiece 10 during rotation, lifting and conveying.

[0043] The lifting mechanism 6 is installed in conjunction with the positioning fixture 9 via the rotating mechanism 8. The rotating cylinder 801 is fixed to the top of the lifting plate 603, and the rotating seat 802 supports the positioning fixture 9. Figure 4 As shown, the structure of the rotating mechanism 8 is as follows: it includes a rotating cylinder 801, the output end of which is connected to a rotating base 802. Several positioning pins 803 are installed on the top of the rotating base 802, and the positioning pins 803 are set one-to-one with the positioning holes 903. By setting the rotating mechanism 8, circumferential rotation can be realized, further improving the compatibility and flexibility of the feeding machine 15.

[0044] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The feeding machine 15 of this utility model is used to convey workpiece 10, which is a connector plastic shell, such as... Figure 8 As shown, a robotic arm 11 is arranged on one side of the feeding machine 15, and a shaping device 12 and a feeding device 13 are arranged above the feeding machine 15. The feed inlet of the feeding device 13 is connected to the discharge outlet of the blind plug feeding device 14 through a conveying pipe assembly (not shown in the figure), so that the blind plug feeding device 14 provides blind plug to the feeding device 13.

[0045] When assembling the connector housing and the blind plug, firstly The positioning fixture 9 is driven to move linearly in the first horizontal direction by the first linear module 501 and in the second horizontal direction by the second linear module 502, so that the positioning fixture 9 reaches one of the carrier placement slots 3. After it reaches the position, the lifting electric module 601 drives the positioning fixture 9 to descend in the vertical direction, so that the mounting plate 901 falls into the carrier placement slot 3 to wait for the workpiece 10 to be loaded. The robotic arm 11 picks up the workpieces 10 one by one and places each workpiece 10 into the corresponding plastic shell placement carrier 902. After all the plastic shell placement carriers 902 are filled, the lifting electric module 601 drives the positioning fixture 9 to rise vertically, so that the mounting plate 901 leaves the carrier placement slot 3. Under the action of the first linear module 501 and the second linear module 502, the positioning fixture 9 drives the batch of workpieces 10 to the shaping position and the unloading position in sequence, so that the workpieces 10 on the positioning fixture 9 can be shaped by the shaping device 12, and the blind plug can be driven into the corresponding hole on the workpiece 10 by the unloading device 13. After the material is unloaded, the transverse mechanism 5 uses the positioning fixture 9 to drive the unloaded workpiece 10 back to the position of the dock seat 2, and waits in one of the carrier placement slots 3 for the robotic arm 11 to grab the unloaded workpiece 10 for unloading.
