Description

Material Transfer Tooling

technical field

The utility model relates to the technical field of assembly production, more specifically, the utility model relates to a material transfer tool.

Background technique

In the assembly and production process of micro-electro-acoustic products, the assembly accuracy of the product is high, and many materials have complex structures and thin side walls. Especially during the operation of the assembly line, the clamping of the material and the collision between the tooling will cause problems such as deformation or breakage of the material.

In the prior art, multiple mechanical grippers are usually used to directly pick up and circulate materials. But there are many defects in this way. On the one hand, during the picking process, materials are often deformed or damaged due to unbalanced forces, which seriously affects the quality of products. On the other hand, during the operation of the assembly line, there is a possibility that the material may encounter a stop positioning mechanism or collide with other tooling, causing the material to detach or tilt from the tooling. The pick-up mechanism has precision requirements for the position, direction, angle, etc. of the material position, which affects the subsequent production processes such as gluing. In addition, this transfer method requires technicians to constantly adjust the position of the material, which consumes time and increases costs.

Therefore, it is necessary to propose a novel material carrying mechanism to overcome the above defects.

Now take Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 as an example to describe in detail the specific structure and principle of the material transfer tooling of the present invention.

The utility model provides a material transfer tool, which includes a clamping mechanism and a material carrying mechanism. Among them, the clamping mechanism needs to be connected by a lifting device to drive the clamping mechanism to move in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction; while the material carrying mechanism is loaded with materials or products, the clamping mechanism is added to the material carrying mechanism, and the material is carried Institutions moved to assigned locations. The material transfer tool provided in this embodiment, when the clamping mechanism transfers the carrying mechanism in the vertical direction or horizontal direction, there is no relative movement between the clamping mechanism, the material carrying mechanism and the material, which ensures the positioning of the material in the material carrying mechanism Accurate and convenient for the operation of the next process.

Specifically, the clamping mechanism 10 has a jaw assembly 11 and a plurality of elastic pressing blocks 12 . As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the clamping mechanism 10 further includes: a mounting plate 13 , the clamping jaw assemblies 11 are disposed on both sides of the mounting plate 13 and configured to clamp the material carrying mechanism 20 . Above the mounting plate 13 , a driving mechanism 14 is also arranged, and the driving mechanism 14 is configured to control the jaw assembly 11 . The jaw assembly can be tightened or expanded under the control of the drive mechanism. On the one hand, the mounting plate provides a load-bearing space for the driving mechanism; on the other hand, the clamping jaw components arranged on both sides of the mounting plate are easy to tighten or expand, and are convenient to cooperate with the material carrying mechanism to achieve clamping.

In this embodiment, the jaw assembly 11 includes two or more jaws. For example, when the mounting plate is rectangular, the two clamping jaws are arranged on opposite sides of the rectangular mounting plate. When clamping the material bearing mechanism, it can maintain stable loading without problems such as tilting or skewing. Alternatively, when the mounting plate is triangular or polygonal, multiple jaws are arranged around the edge of the mounting plate to form a balanced clamping point, which can also achieve stable grabbing.

Optionally, clamping grooves 22 are formed on both sides of the material carrying mechanism 20 . As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , among the jaws provided in this embodiment, each jaw has two jaws, and the two jaws have four jaws in total. In this embodiment, two gripping grooves 22 are formed on one side of the material carrying mechanism 20, and these two gripping grooves cooperate with two clamps on each jaw. The driving mechanism drives the clamping jaws to open, and after the clamp reaches the clamping groove, it is tightened and clamped, so as to realize the clamping of the material carrying mechanism.

It can be understood that the position and shape of the gripping groove should match the gripper on the jaw. This embodiment does not make specific requirements on the specific position, quantity, shape, etc. of the gripping grooves.

Further, the elastic pressing block 12 is vertically arranged on the bottom surface of the installation plate 13 . As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the elastic pressing blocks 12 are distributed at the bottom of the clamping mechanism 10 and face the material carrying mechanism 20 . It can be understood that when the clamping mechanism moves downward in the vertical direction under the drive of the manipulator, the elastic pressing block at the bottom of the clamping mechanism will first contact the material carrying mechanism. The above-mentioned material carrying mechanism is pressed tightly.

Wherein, the material carrying mechanism 20 is provided with at least one positioning groove 21, the positioning groove 21 is loaded with material, and the material can be placed in the positioning groove 21 at a predetermined angle or position, which is convenient for the direct access of the next process. ; It can also be placed in the positioning groove of the material carrying mechanism, and is not completely wrapped by the positioning groove. A plurality of positioning grooves are distributed on the surface of the material carrying mechanism, and those skilled in the art can set different numbers of positioning grooves of different shapes and sizes according to actual needs.

Specifically, the elastic pressing block 12 includes: a first floating pressing block 121 and a second floating pressing block 122 . As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first floating pressing blocks 121 are distributed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 13. When the clamping mechanism 10 moves vertically downward, the first floating pressing blocks 121 are It is configured to act on the surface 23 of the material carrying mechanism 20 , and the second floating pressing block 122 is configured to be in close contact with the material in the positioning groove 21 .

In a possible implementation, when the clamping mechanism moves downward in the vertical direction, the first floating pressure block on the bottom surface of the mounting plate of the clamping mechanism contacts the surface of the material carrying mechanism and forms a squeeze; the clamping mechanism Continue to move down, and then the second floating pressing block contacts with the material in the positioning groove, and fits closely with the material. At this time, the clamping mechanism stops moving downward, the first floating press block and the second floating press block form stable contact with the material carrying mechanism and the material, and there is no relative movement between each component or material. Then, the jaw assembly is opened, and the material carrying mechanism is tightened through the gripping groove on the material carrying mechanism. Then move the material carrying mechanism to the designated position along the horizontal direction.

In another possible implementation, when the clamping mechanism moves downward in the vertical direction, the second floating pressing block on the bottom surface of the mounting plate of the clamping mechanism first contacts the material above the positioning groove, and is pressed to the bottom by the material. in the positioning slot. The clamping mechanism continues to move downward, and immediately the first floating pressing block contacts the surface of the material carrying mechanism. In this way, stable contact is formed between the first floating pressing block, the second floating pressing block, the material carrying mechanism and the material, and there is no relative movement between each component or material. Then, the jaw assembly is opened for the next step of clamping and transferring operations.

Apparently, the first floating pressing block and the second floating pressing block in the elastic pressing block can form a stable contact with the material carrying mechanism and the material. The positioning groove ensures the requirements for the position and angle of the material before transfer. During the transfer process, there is no relative movement between the first floating briquetting block and the second floating briquetting block and the material and the material carrying mechanism, which ensures the accuracy of the position and angle of the material in the positioning groove; at the same time, the material will not flow from The positioning groove falls off, ensuring the normal progress of the next process.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the second floating pressing block has a profiling indenter, the material of the profiling indenter is non-metallic material, and the shape of the profiling indenter is the same as the shape of the material. In this way, when the second floating pressing block compresses the material, the material will not be damaged. The profiling indenter made of non-metallic materials such as rubber and plastic can avoid scratching the surface of the material. In addition, the pressure head of the first floating pressure block can be made of metal material. The first floating pressing block is in contact with the surface of the material carrying mechanism and pressed against the material carrying mechanism.

Optionally, the number of the first floating pressing blocks 121 is an even number. For example, it could be two, four or six, etc. Those skilled in the art can understand that the first floating pressing block 121 is in contact with the surface 23 of the material carrying mechanism 20 to avoid relative movement between the material carrying mechanism and the clamping mechanism. An even number of first floating pressing blocks can be evenly arranged on the surface of the material carrying mechanism, so as to avoid problems such as uneven force or inclination.

In addition, the number of the second floating pressing blocks 122 matches the number of the positioning grooves 21 . In this way, the second floating pressing block can press each material in the vertical direction, so that each material can maintain a stable state during the cup clamping process of the material carrying mechanism.

Since most of the materials are components with fragile connections, in order to prevent the second floating pressing block from causing crushing injuries to the materials when they come into contact with the materials. In this embodiment, an adjusting member 123 is also provided on the second floating pressing block 122, and the adjusting member 123 can adjust the pre-tightening force when the second floating pressing block 122 is in close contact with the material. Avoid problems such as fracture or deformation in the fragile position of the material.

As shown in Fig. 2, the adjusting member may be a spring and a nut. The spring and the nut are arranged between the second floating pressing block and the installation plate. When the toggle nut moves toward the mounting plate, the spring is in a compressed state, and the extrusion force between the second floating briquetting block and the material becomes larger; when the toggle nut moves toward the pressure head, the spring gradually recovers from the compressed state, At this time, the extrusion force between the second floating briquetting block and the material becomes smaller. In this way, the pre-tightening force between the second floating pressing block and the material can be adjusted through the nut, preventing the material from being crushed.

Certainly, other devices can also be used for the adjusting member, and devices capable of adjusting the pre-tightening force between the second floating pressing block and the material are all within the scope of protection of this embodiment.

In the material transfer tool provided in this embodiment, an elastic pressing block is provided on the clamping mechanism to form a stable contact between the elastic pressing block, the material and the material carrying mechanism, and there is no relative movement between various parts or materials. It keeps the material stable during the transfer process and prevents problems such as falling off or deformation of the material during the transfer process.
