An Automatically Queuing and Positioning Technology Based on Conveyor Belt
ABSTRACT
In order to reduce complexity of a manipulator system for grabbing and locating a product shaped like a mobile phone, with uncertain position and posture on the conveyor belt, an automatically queuing and positioning technology has been proposed, which can implement the functions of product storage, queuing and positioning. By analyzing the application environment, mobile phones’ automatic queuing solutions are proposed, and theoretical models regarding mobile phones’ automatic queuing are designed. Using non-fixed point collision theory based on rigid body dynamics, collision models between the phone and the phones’ automatically queuing mechanical device model and between two phone are analyzed, and the collision equations are deduced. The simulation analyses for all kinds of automatically queuing solutions for are implemented based on ABAQUS. The results show that multi-adaptive V-groove can queue and position the mobile phone with uncertain position and posture efficiently and automatically.
