DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The present application provides a loading mechanism, including: a first transmission platform 100, at least a portion of the first transmission platform 100 is movably arranged to transmit a material tray 110; a second transmission platform 200, which is arranged in parallel with the first transmission platform 100; a first transfer component 300, at least a portion of the first transfer component 300 is movably arranged to transfer the material tray 110 from the first transmission platform 100 to the second transmission platform 200, and a plurality of loading areas 210 are arranged on the second transmission platform 200; a loading component 400, the loading component 400 is movably arranged along a predetermined trajectory to place the material on the material tray of the loading area 210; a third transmission platform 500, which is arranged on a side of the second transmission platform 200 away from the first transmission platform 100, and the third transmission platform 500 is movably arranged; a second transfer component 600, at least a portion of the second transfer component 600 is movably arranged to transfer the material tray 110 in the loading area 210 to the third transmission platform 500 for transportation.

[0033] The loading mechanism provided by the present application includes a first transmission platform 100, a second transmission platform 200, a first transfer assembly 300, a loading assembly 400, a third transmission platform 500 and a second transfer assembly 600. At least a portion of the first transmission platform 100 is movably arranged to transfer the material tray 110; the second transmission platform 200 is arranged in parallel with the first transmission platform 100; at least a portion of the first transfer assembly 300 is movably arranged to transfer the material tray 110 from the first transmission platform 100 to the second transmission platform 200; The transmission platform 200, the second transmission platform 200 is provided with a plurality of loading areas 210; the loading assembly 400 is movably arranged along a predetermined track to place the material on the material tray of the loading area 210; the third transmission platform 500 is arranged on the side of the second transmission platform 200 away from the first transmission platform 100, and the third transmission platform 500 is movably arranged; at least part of the second transfer assembly 600 is movably arranged to transfer the material tray 110 of the loading area 210 to the third transmission platform 500 for transportation. By arranging the parallel first transmission platform 100 and the second transmission platform 200, and the movable first transfer assembly 300, the efficient and rapid transfer of the material tray 110 is achieved, so that the loading process can be more closely coupled with other processes of the production line, reducing the waiting time and material processing time, thereby significantly improving the production efficiency. The design of multiple loading areas 210 on the second transmission platform 200 and the mobility of the loading component 400 enable the loading mechanism to flexibly cope with materials and trays of different sizes and shapes, and also facilitate the adjustment of the number and position of the loading areas according to production needs, thereby enhancing the scalability of the system. The precise transfer capabilities of the first transfer component 300 and the second transfer component 600, combined with the loading area 210 on the second transmission platform 200, ensure that the materials can be accurately placed at the predetermined position, reduce the risk of material misplacement and damage, and improve the quality of the finished product. The entire loading process is highly automated, reducing dependence on manual operation and human errors, while also reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving production safety and stability. The setting of the third transmission platform 500 and the second transfer component 600 ensures that the full trays after loading can enter the subsequent production process in a timely and continuous manner, thereby avoiding interruptions to the production line and improving the continuity of the production line.

[0034] Among them, the first transmission platform 100 is used to convey empty material trays. A loading platform 900 is arranged on the side of the first transmission platform 100 away from the second transmission platform 200. The loading platform 900 is used to convey materials. The loading component 400 is arranged above the first transmission platform 100. The loading component 400 is preferably a robotic arm. The robotic arm clamps the material on the loading platform 900 and places it on the material tray of the loading area 210. When a material tray in the multiple loading areas 210 is full of material, it is transported by the second transfer component 600 to the third transmission platform 500 for output. In this way, the material trays in each loading area 210 can be controlled independently, the second transfer components 600 are arranged in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of second transfer components 600 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple loading areas 210, and the fourth transfer components 800 are arranged in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of fourth transfer components 800 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple groups of second transfer components 600. In this way, the material trays on the second transmission platform 200 do not need to be transported in sequence, ensuring that the full material trays can enter the subsequent production process in a timely and continuous manner.

[0035] Specifically, Figure 5As shown, the second transmission platform 200 also includes: a transmission area 220, which is arranged on the side of each loading area 210, and the third transmission platform 500 is opposite to each loading area 210 and the transmission area 220 respectively; after the material tray 110 is transferred from the loading area 210 to the third transmission platform 500, the material tray 110 is driven by the third transmission platform 500 to move to a position corresponding to the transmission area 220, and then the material tray 110 is transferred to the transmission area 220 for transportation. By arranging the transmission area 220 on the side of the loading area 210, the material tray 110 can be quickly and seamlessly transferred to the third transmission platform 500 after the loading is completed, and then the third transmission platform drives the material tray to move to a position corresponding to the transmission area 220 for subsequent transportation. This design shortens the waiting time between material loading and transportation, speeds up the material circulation speed, and significantly improves production efficiency. The transfer of the tray 110 is separated from the conveying path, so that the loading and conveying can be optimized independently, and the system can respond to changes in production needs more quickly, such as adjusting the loading frequency or changing the conveying direction, without affecting other parts of the production line. The setting of the transmission area 220 optimizes the spatial layout of the production line and avoids the space congestion that may be caused by the direct transition between the loading and conveying of the tray. After the tray 110 is loaded in the loading area 210, it is smoothly transferred to the transmission area 220 through the third transmission platform 500, which reduces the violent movement directly from the loading area to the conveying line, reduces the wear of the equipment, and prolongs the service life of the equipment. The transfer path of the tray 110 is clear, from the loading area 210 to the third transmission platform 500, and then to the transmission area 220. The control logic of this process is relatively simple, which reduces the system failure rate and is also convenient for system maintenance and troubleshooting. The setting of the transmission area 220 enables the third transmission platform 500 to be ready to receive the next tray immediately after completing the transfer of the current tray, without waiting for the current tray to be fully conveyed. This parallel processing capability improves the multi-tasking capability of the production line.

[0036] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes: a third transfer component 700, which is arranged on the third transmission platform 500, and at least part of the third transfer component 700 is movably arranged to drive the material tray 110 to move to the transmission area 220. The third transfer component 700 can accurately transfer the full material tray from the third transmission platform 500 to the transmission area 220, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the material transportation process, and avoiding the situation of material backlog or interruption on the production line. Through the movable setting of the third transfer component 700, the feeding mechanism can better adapt to the needs of different production line layouts, and even when the production line needs to be adjusted or expanded, the transfer path can be quickly adjusted to improve the adaptability and flexibility of the production line. The addition of the third transfer component 700 makes the automation process of the feeding mechanism more perfect, and realizes full automation from receiving, loading to conveying the material tray, thereby improving the overall automation level of the production line.

[0037] In the specific implementation process, the first transport platform 100 is provided with a first avoidance channel 120; the first transfer assembly 300 includes: a first lifting component 310, which is provided below the first transport platform 100 and is telescopically provided in the vertical direction; a first transfer platform 320, which is provided on the first lifting component 310 and is arranged opposite to the first avoidance channel 120. The first lifting component 310 pushes the first transfer platform 320 through the first avoidance channel 120 and drives the material tray 110 to be lifted, and drives the material tray 110 to move to the second transport platform 200. Through the design of the first avoidance channel 120, the first transfer platform 320 can complete the transfer action without occupying the transfer path of the material tray 110 on the first transport platform 100, which not only avoids the influence of the transfer process on the transmission efficiency, but also makes full use of the space to achieve a compact and efficient production line layout. The first lifting component 310 is telescopically arranged in the vertical direction. This design reduces the mechanical interference between different components during the transfer process, improves the accuracy and safety of the transfer, and avoids equipment damage or transfer failure caused by interference. The automated operation of the first lifting component 310 and the first transfer platform 320 ensures the rapid lifting and transfer of the tray 110, reduces the manual operation links, and improves the automation level and production efficiency of the production line. The design allows the tray 110 to be transferred at different heights and positions, enhances the adaptability of the loading mechanism to different production line layouts, and can flexibly respond to various production needs and changes. The transfer action is closely connected with the transmission process of the tray 110, ensuring that the material transfer process from the first transmission platform 100 to the loading area 210 of the second transmission platform 200 is continuous and smooth, avoiding production line interruption and improving production continuity. In a large-scale production environment, the efficient cooperation of the first transmission platform 100 and the first transfer component 300 can quickly respond to the high load requirements of the production line, ensure the loading efficiency, and is suitable for various high-speed and large-volume production scenarios.

[0038] Preferably, the first lifting component 310 is a first cylinder, the first transfer platform 320 is a first conveyor belt, the first conveyor belt is mounted on two conveyor wheels, the transmission wheel is connected to a drive motor, the drive motor drives the transmission wheel to rotate, thereby driving the first conveyor belt to move to transport the material tray, and the driving end of the first cylinder is connected to the drive motor.

[0039] In the present application, the second transport platform 200 is provided with a second avoidance channel 230, the first avoidance channel 120 is connected to the second avoidance channel 230, and the first transfer platform 320 is movably arranged in the horizontal direction to drive the material tray 110 to move to the second avoidance channel 230, and then drive the material tray 110 to fall until the material tray 110 is placed on the second transport platform 200. The first transfer platform 320 can first horizontally move the material tray 110 to the second avoidance channel 230, and then vertically fall to the second transport platform 200. This design avoids obstacles and other equipment on the production line that may be encountered in direct vertical fall, and ensures the smooth flow of materials. The setting of the second avoidance channel 230 means that the feeding mechanism can not only handle conventional feeding tasks, but also flexibly adjust the transfer path of the material tray through the avoidance channel when encountering special working conditions (such as equipment maintenance, material abnormalities, etc.) to ensure the continuous operation of the production line; the connection design of the first avoidance channel 120 and the second avoidance channel 230 enables the transfer operation to be carried out efficiently in a limited space, reduces the restrictions on the layout of the production line, and provides more spatial freedom for other equipment and processes. Through the intermediate transition of the second avoidance channel 230, the first transfer platform 320 can place the material tray 110 on the second transmission platform 200 more smoothly and accurately, reducing the vibration and damage of the material that may be caused by direct falling. The design of the avoidance channel reduces the risk of collision between the material tray 110 and other equipment or personnel on the production line during the direct fall, and improves the safety of operation. The combination of the second avoidance channel 230 and the first transfer platform 320 enables the feeding mechanism to better adapt to production line equipment of different heights and positions, and improves the compatibility and collaborative operation ability between equipment. By executing the horizontal movement and the vertical drop separately, the control logic of the transfer process is simplified, the complexity of the control system is reduced, and the stability and reliability of the system are improved.

[0040] Specifically, the second transport platform 200 is provided with a second avoidance channel 230, and the second transfer assembly 600 includes: a second lifting component 610, which is arranged below the second transport platform 200 and is movably arranged in the vertical direction; and a second transfer platform 620, which is arranged on the second lifting component 610. After the second lifting component 610 pushes the second transfer platform 620 through the second avoidance channel 230, it docks with the first transfer platform 320 to transfer the material tray 110 to the second transfer platform 620. The vertical movement of the second lifting component 610 and the docking design with the second transfer platform 620 make the transfer process of the material tray 110 smoother, reduce the moving distance in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the transfer efficiency and shortening the material processing cycle. The design of the second avoidance channel 230 allows the second transfer platform 620 to first descend to the bottom of the second transport platform 200 and then move horizontally, which effectively utilizes the vertical space, avoids excessive occupation of the horizontal space, and optimizes the production line layout. Through the lifting action of the second lifting component 610, the material tray 110 can be flexibly transferred at different heights. This height adjustment capability enables the system to adapt to the loading area 210 at different heights, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the operation. The setting of the second avoidance channel 230 avoids the interference between the second transfer platform 620 and other equipment or materials on the production line, optimizes the flow path of the material on the production line, reduces logistics blockage, and improves the material flow efficiency of the entire line. The docking transfer method of the second lifting component 610 and the second transfer platform 620 reduces the movement range of the material tray 110 during the transfer process, reduces the risk of collision during the transfer process, thereby reducing the failure rate of the equipment and improving the stability of the production system. The design of the second transfer component 600 is closely matched with the avoidance structure of the second transmission platform 200, which enhances the integration and coordination of the entire loading mechanism and makes the entire system run more smoothly.

[0041] Preferably, the first transfer platform 320 and / or the second transfer platform 620 are conveyor belts; the first transfer platform 100 includes a plurality of first transfer rollers 130, and the first avoidance channel 120 is arranged between two adjacent first transfer rollers 130; the second transfer platform 200 includes a plurality of second transfer rollers 240, and the second avoidance channel 230 is arranged between two adjacent second transfer rollers 240. The conveyor belt has good material carrying capacity and stable transmission characteristics, which can ensure that the material tray 110 remains stable during the transfer process, reduce displacement and jitter, and improve the accuracy and reliability of transfer. The first transfer platform 100 and the second transfer platform 200 use transmission rollers, which can adapt to material trays of different materials, weights and sizes, and provide a more flexible loading and conveying solution. The setting of the first avoidance channel 120 and the second avoidance channel 230 enables the loading robot and the transfer component to effectively avoid during operation, avoiding production interruption or reduced efficiency caused by interference between equipment and materials.

[0042] During the specific implementation process, a second avoidance channel 230 is provided on the second transmission platform 200, and a third avoidance channel 510 is provided on the third transmission platform 500; the second transfer assembly 600 includes: a second lifting component 610, which is arranged below the second transmission platform 200, and the second lifting component 610 is movably arranged in the vertical direction; a second transfer platform 620, which is arranged on the second lifting component 610, and the second lifting component 610 pushes the second transfer platform 620 to move in the vertical direction; the loading mechanism also includes: a fourth transfer assembly 800, and the fourth transfer assembly 800 includes: a fourth lifting component 810, which is arranged below the third transmission platform 500, and the fourth lifting component 810 is movably arranged in the vertical direction; a fourth transfer platform 820, which is arranged on the fourth lifting component 810, and the fourth lifting component 810 pushes the fourth transfer platform 820 through the third avoidance channel 510, and then docks with the second transfer platform 620 to transfer the material tray 110 to the fourth transfer platform 820. The precise coordination of the second transfer assembly 600 and the fourth transfer assembly 800 can realize the efficient and smooth flow of the material tray 110 between the second transmission platform 200 and the third transmission platform 500, reduce the waiting time in the material handling process, and improve the material flow efficiency of the entire production line. The design of the second avoidance channel 230 and the third avoidance channel 510 ensures that the transfer operation will not interfere with other logistics activities on the transmission platform, effectively utilizes the vertical space of the production line, optimizes the spatial layout of the production line, reduces the floor space, and is conducive to building a high-efficiency production line in a limited space. The automatic movement of the second lifting component 610 and the fourth lifting component 810, and the automatic docking of the second transfer platform 620 and the fourth transfer platform 820 make the entire loading process highly automated, reduce the need for manual operation, reduce production costs, and improve the safety and stability of production. By setting up the avoidance channel and adopting the lifting transfer platform, direct friction and collision of the material tray 110 during the transfer process are avoided, equipment wear is reduced, and the service life of the equipment is extended, thereby reducing the long-term cost of maintenance and replacement of parts. The smooth transfer of the material tray 110 between the second transfer platform 620 and the fourth transfer platform 820 reduces the risk of the material falling or being damaged during the handling process, ensures the safety of material handling, and reduces the material loss during the production process. The second avoidance channel 230 on the second transmission platform 200 enables the platform to handle multiple loading tasks at the same time, while the third avoidance channel 510 on the third transmission platform 500 provides an independent logistics channel for subsequent transportation activities, supports multi-task parallel processing of the production line, and improves production efficiency.

[0043] Preferably, the third transmission platform 500 includes a plurality of third transmission rollers 520, and the third avoidance channel 510 is arranged between two adjacent third transmission rollers 520. The arrangement of the third avoidance channel 510 allows equipment maintenance or material adjustment during the transmission process without interrupting the operation of the entire production line. At the same time, the design of multiple transmission rollers ensures that even when the avoidance channel is opened, other areas on the platform can still transmit materials normally, thereby improving the continuity and flexibility of transmission. The third avoidance channel 510 cleverly utilizes the gap between two adjacent third transmission rollers 520, avoiding the occupation of additional space, making the design of the third transmission platform 500 more compact, and effectively optimizing the spatial layout of the production line.

[0044] The third transmission platform 500 is provided with a fourth avoidance channel 530, and the third transfer assembly 700 includes: a third lifting component 710, which is arranged below the third transmission platform 500 and is movably arranged in the vertical direction; a third transfer platform 720, which is arranged on the third lifting component 710. After the third lifting component 710 pushes the third transfer platform 720 through the fourth avoidance channel 530, the material tray 110 is transferred to the transmission area 220. The third transfer platform 720 smoothly moves the material tray 110 to the transmission area 220 through the fourth avoidance channel 530, effectively avoiding the impact that may be caused by direct transfer, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the material conveying process, and further improving the conveying efficiency. The design of the third avoidance channel 510 provides an operating space below the third transmission platform 500, making the transfer action of the third transfer assembly 700 more flexible, while reducing the interference with other equipment on the production line and optimizing the overall spatial layout. The combination of the fourth avoidance channel 530 and the third transfer assembly 700 enables the system to adapt to different production line layouts and material handling requirements, enhancing the flexibility of the loading mechanism and the adaptability of the production line. The automated operation of the third lifting component 710 and the third transfer platform 720 reduces manual intervention, improves the automation level of material handling, and reduces the manual error rate on the production line; after completing the transfer of the current material tray 110, the third transfer platform 720 can immediately prepare to receive the next material tray. This parallel processing capability improves the material handling capacity of the production line and supports high-load production of the production line.

[0045] In the present application, the transmission area 220 is also provided with a fifth transfer assembly 250, and the fifth transfer assembly 250 is used to dock with the third transfer platform 720 on the third transmission platform 500, and transport the full material tray to the transmission area 220 for transportation. The present application adds the third transmission platform 500 as a transition platform, which is actually still an empty tray conveyor line (i.e., the first transmission platform 100) and a full tray conveyor line (the second transmission platform 200), and divides the second transmission platform 200 into a loading area 210 and a transmission area 220, and cooperates with the third transmission platform 500, so as to provide additional material processing space for the production line, so that the system can more flexibly respond to sudden changes in material demand, such as switching of material types or adjustment of production tasks. The setting of the transition platform can simplify the control logic between the main line body and the loading position, and avoid the complex control between the main line body and the loading position by performing material scheduling and control on the third transmission platform, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the system. Through the transition of the third transmission platform 500, the production line can support parallel operation of multiple workstations, improve the parallel processing capability of the production line, and further enhance production efficiency.

[0046] like Fig. 9 As shown, the entire production mode requires three lines to complete, two main lines (the first transmission platform 100 and the second transmission platform 200), which are used to transport empty pallets and full pallets respectively, and one return line (the third transmission platform 500), which is used to return full pallets. The action is that the empty pallet is transported to the loading position 1 and the loading position 2 through the empty pallet conveying line, and after the positioning mechanism positions the empty pallet, the loading robot A and the loading robot B load the empty pallet on the loading position 1 and the loading position 2 respectively.

[0047] The line body determines the running logic of the pallet full result.

[0048] Judgment: a The tray at loading position 1 is full; b The tray at loading position 2 is full; c The trays at loading position 1 and loading position 2 are full at the same time;

[0049] a The pallet at loading position 1 is full: the loading robot A stops loading, and the full pallet at loading position 1 is transferred to the return line by the second transfer assembly 600, and then the empty pallet on the waiting position 1 (located on the first transmission platform) is transferred to the loading position 1 by the first transfer assembly. After the positioning mechanism of loading position 1 positions the empty pallet, the loading robot A starts to load the empty pallet, and the full pallet on the return line is transferred back to the main line by the third transfer assembly at the end of the line.

[0050] b The pallet at loading position 2 is full: the loading robot B stops loading, and the full pallet at loading position 2 is transferred to the return line through another set of second transfer components. Then the empty pallet on waiting position 2 is transferred to loading position 2 through another set of first transfer components. After the positioning mechanism of loading position 2 positions the empty pallet, the loading robot B starts to load the empty pallet, and the full pallet on the return line is transferred back to the main line through the third transfer component at the end of the line.

[0051] c The pallets at loading position 1 and loading position 2 are full at the same time: loading robot A and loading robot B stop loading, and the full pallet at loading position 1 and the full pallet at loading position 2 are respectively transferred to the return line through the corresponding second transfer assembly, and then the empty pallets at waiting position 1 and waiting position 2 are respectively transferred to loading position 1 and loading position 2 through the first transfer assembly. After the positioning mechanisms of loading position 1 and loading position 2 respectively position the empty pallets, loading robot A and loading robot B start to load the empty pallets, and the full pallets on the return line are successively transferred back to the main line through the third transfer assembly at the end of the line.

[0052] By analogy, this workstation can also load materials with multiple devices at the same time. As long as this logic is followed, the devices can work independently without interfering with each other.

[0053] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0054] The loading mechanism provided by the present application includes a first transmission platform 100, a second transmission platform 200, a first transfer assembly 300, a loading assembly 400, a third transmission platform 500 and a second transfer assembly 600. At least a portion of the first transmission platform 100 is movably arranged to transfer the material tray 110; the second transmission platform 200 is arranged in parallel with the first transmission platform 100; at least a portion of the first transfer assembly 300 is movably arranged to transfer the material tray 110 from the first transmission platform 100 to the second transmission platform 200; The transmission platform 200, the second transmission platform 200 is provided with a plurality of loading areas 210; the loading assembly 400 is movably arranged along a predetermined track to place the material on the material tray of the loading area 210; the third transmission platform 500 is arranged on the side of the second transmission platform 200 away from the first transmission platform 100, and the third transmission platform 500 is movably arranged; at least part of the second transfer assembly 600 is movably arranged to transfer the material tray 110 of the loading area 210 to the third transmission platform 500 for transportation. By arranging the parallel first transmission platform 100 and the second transmission platform 200, and the movable first transfer assembly 300, the efficient and rapid transfer of the material tray 110 is achieved, so that the loading process can be more closely coupled with other processes of the production line, reducing the waiting time and material processing time, thereby significantly improving the production efficiency. The design of multiple loading areas 210 on the second transmission platform 200 and the mobility of the loading component 400 enable the loading mechanism to flexibly cope with materials and trays of different sizes and shapes, and also facilitate the adjustment of the number and position of the loading areas according to production needs, thereby enhancing the scalability of the system. The precise transfer capabilities of the first transfer component 300 and the second transfer component 600, combined with the loading area 210 on the second transmission platform 200, ensure that the materials can be accurately placed at the predetermined position, reduce the risk of material misplacement and damage, and improve the quality of the finished product. The entire loading process is highly automated, reducing dependence on manual operation and human errors, while also reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving production safety and stability. The setting of the third transmission platform 500 and the second transfer component 600 ensures that the full trays after loading can enter the subsequent production process in a timely and continuous manner, thereby avoiding interruptions to the production line and improving the continuity of the production line.
