DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form a new embodiment.

[0038] like Figure 1-2 A product photographing and conveying device shown in the figure includes a product feeding station 10, an inspection station 20, a defective station, a container conveying device 60, a manipulator 50 and an image acquisition device 40; the container conveying device 60 includes a container feeding station, a pushing station, a qualified product station, a discharging station, a first conveying mechanism 61, a second conveying mechanism 62 and a pushing mechanism 63; the first conveying mechanism 61 is used to convey the container 100 from the container feeding station to the pushing station; the pushing mechanism 63 is used to push the container 100 at the pushing station to the qualified product station; the second conveying mechanism 62 is used to convey the container 100 from the qualified product station to the discharging station; the manipulator 50 is used to transfer the product 110 of the product feeding station 10 to the inspection station 20; the manipulator 50 is also used to selectively transfer the product 110 of the inspection station 20 to the defective product station 30 or to the container 100 on the qualified product station; the image acquisition device 40 is used to capture the appearance of the product 110 on the inspection station 20.

[0039] On the basis of the above structure, when in use, the first conveying mechanism 61 is used to convey the container 100 from the container feeding station to the pushing station; then the pushing mechanism 63 pushes the container 100 at the pushing station to the qualified product station; the product 110 at the product feeding station 10 is transferred to the inspection station 20 by the manipulator 50, and the image acquisition device 40 acquires the appearance image of the product 110 located in the inspection station 20, and then by comparing the appearance image of the product 110 with the appearance image of the qualified product, it is determined whether the product 110 is qualified, and according to the judgment result, the manipulator 50 is controlled to transfer the product 110 to the defective product station 30 or the container 100 at the qualified product station, and under the action of the second conveying mechanism 62, the container 100 containing the product 110 is transferred to the discharging station; in this way, mechanized operation is used instead of manual operation to realize the transfer, storage and transportation of the product 110, thereby reducing labor intensity and improving efficiency.

[0040] It should be noted that a workbench can be provided, and the surface of the workbench can form the above-mentioned product feeding station 10, inspection station 20 or defective station; the above-mentioned container 100 can be existing parts such as barrels, boxes or pallets.

[0041] like Fig. 9As shown, specifically, the image acquisition device 40 includes an illumination lamp 41 and a camera 42; the illumination lamp 41 is used to emit illumination light toward the detection station 20; the camera is used to photograph the product 110 located at the detection station 20; when in use, the illumination lamp 41 is used, and then cooperates with the camera 42 to photograph the product 110, so that the image of the product 110 can be acquired.

[0042] After the appearance image of the product 110 is collected, it can be judged by human naked eye comparison. In order to improve the accuracy of the judgment, preferably, the product photography and conveying equipment also includes a computer, and the camera 42 is used to send the captured image to the computer; the computer is used to judge whether the product 110 is qualified according to the image; the computer stores the image of the qualified product 110 and the qualified benchmark. After obtaining the image collected by the camera 42, the computer automatically compares it with the image of the qualified product 110, and directly judges whether the product 110 to be tested is qualified according to the qualified benchmark. A control device can also be set here, and the control device is used to receive the signal of the computer and control the movement of the transfer device according to the signal. In this way, when the computer sends a signal that the product 110 is unqualified, the control device controls the transfer device to transfer the product 110 to the defective product station 30, and vice versa; the electrical connection relationship between the above-mentioned computer, camera 42 and control device, the signal transmission principle of the camera 42 and the working principle of the computer can be known to those skilled in the art from the prior art, and will not be repeated here.

[0043] like Figure 7-8As shown, further, the manipulator 50 includes a power mechanism 51, a mounting plate 52 and a picking unit; the picking unit includes at least two vacuum suction cups 53; at least two vacuum suction cups 53 are respectively mounted on the mounting plate 52, and can be close to or far away from each other; it should be noted here that when in use, the vacuum suction cup 53 is connected to an external vacuum pump through a hose, and the product 110 is picked up or released by the external vacuum pump through the suction or deflation; the vacuum suction cup 53 is correspondingly provided with a locking structure 80, and the locking structure 80 is used to fix the corresponding vacuum suction cup 53 on the mounting plate 52; the power mechanism 51 is used to drive the mounting plate 52 to move. When in use, the distance between at least two vacuum suction cups 53 is adjusted according to the size of the product 110 to be produced, so that the at least two vacuum suction cups 53 are close to or far away from each other. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the locking structure 80 is used to lock the corresponding vacuum suction cup 53 on the mounting plate 52, and the power mechanism 51 drives the mounting plate 52 to move, thereby linking the vacuum suction cup 53 to move, and the vacuum suction cup 53 absorbs the product 110, and then the power mechanism 51 realizes the transfer of the product 110, and when the transfer is in place, the suction cup releases the product 110, and the transfer of the complete product 110 is completed. In the above process, the product 110 is picked up by the vacuum suction cup 53, and the relative clamping method can avoid damage to the structure of the product 110. Furthermore, by adjusting the distance between at least two vacuum suction cups 53, it can be suitable for products 110 of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the product photography and conveying equipment.

[0044] The above-mentioned locking structure 80 can be implemented in the following manner. Embodiment 1: The locking structure 80 includes a latch, a first plug hole is provided on the vacuum suction cup 53, and a plurality of second plug holes are provided on the mounting plate 52; in this way, the vacuum suction cup 53 can be locked by passing the latch through the first plug hole and one of the second plug holes; however, the above-mentioned structure requires the first plug hole to be provided on the vacuum suction cup 53, which may easily damage the vacuum suction cup 53; Embodiment 2: The locking structure 80 includes a magnet block fixed on the vacuum suction cup 53 and a magnet bar fixed on the mounting plate 52, in this way, the vacuum suction cup 53 is locked by mutual adsorption between the magnet block and the magnet bar; however, when the above-mentioned structure is used for too long, the magnet block or the magnet bar is prone to demagnetization, resulting in the loss of locking effect on the vacuum suction cup 53.

[0045] Preferably, at least two adjustment slots 521 corresponding to at least two vacuum suction cups 53 are provided on the mounting plate 52; the locking structure 80 includes an adjustment screw 81 and two locking nuts 82; the rod of the adjustment screw 81 movably passes through the corresponding adjustment slot 521 and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 52; the two locking nuts 82 are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate 52 and are respectively screwed on the rod of the adjustment screw 81; in this way, by rotating the two locking nuts 82 to move the two locking nuts 82 away from the mounting plate 52, the vacuum suction cup 53 can be moved. Move relative to the mounting plate 52; then, rotate the two locking nuts 82 to make the two locking nuts 82 close to the mounting plate 52, and when the locking nuts 82 are against the mounting plate 52, the two locking nuts 82 cooperate to clamp the mounting plate 52, and at this time, the vacuum suction cup 53 is fixed on the mounting plate 52 under the action of the friction force between the locking nuts 82 and the mounting plate 52; this structure does not require a socket on the vacuum suction cup 53, which can avoid damage to the vacuum suction cup 53; furthermore, it can avoid losing the locking effect of the vacuum suction cup 53 due to long-term use.

[0046] Specifically, at least two adjustment slots 521 are arranged in sequence and at intervals around the center of the mounting plate 52 .

[0047] Furthermore, the power mechanism 51 includes a base 511, a first mechanical arm 512, a first rotating structure, a second mechanical arm 513, a second rotating structure, a third mechanical arm 514, a third rotating structure and a lifting mechanism; one end of the first mechanical arm 512 is installed on the base 511, and can rotate relative to the base 511 in a horizontal plane; the first rotating structure is used to drive the first mechanical arm 512 to rotate; one end of the second mechanical arm 513 is installed on the other end of the first mechanical arm 512, and can rotate relative to the first mechanical arm 512 in a horizontal plane; the second rotating structure The structure is installed on the first robotic arm 512 and is used to drive the second robotic arm 513 to rotate; the third robotic arm 514 is installed at the other end of the second robotic arm 513 and can rotate in the horizontal plane relative to the second robotic arm 513; the third robotic arm 514 can also be raised and lowered relative to the second robotic arm 513; the third rotating structure is installed on the second robotic arm 513 and is used to drive the third robotic arm 514 to rotate; the lifting mechanism is installed on the second robotic arm 513 and is used to drive the third robotic arm 514 to rise and fall; the mounting plate 52 is installed on the third robotic arm 514.

[0048] On the basis of the above structure, when in use, the first rotary motor 9231 drives the first robotic arm 512, the second rotary motor 9231 drives the second robotic arm 513, and the third rotary motor 9231 drives the third robotic arm 514, so as to drive the rotation of the mounting plate 52, and then the mounting plate 52 is linked to the vacuum suction cup 53 to the position directly above the product 110 to be picked up, and then the lifting mechanism drives the third robotic arm 514 to descend, so that the vacuum suction cup 53 is close to the product 110, and then the picking is achieved; the power mechanism 51 improves the freedom of rotation angle through the cooperation of the base 511, the first robotic arm 512, the first rotating mechanism, the second robotic arm 513, the second rotating mechanism, the third robotic arm 514, and the third rotating mechanism, realizes multi-angle rotation, and is more flexible to use; furthermore, in cooperation with the lifting mechanism, it is ensured that the vacuum suction cup 53 picks up the product 110.

[0049] Specifically, the first rotating mechanism is a first rotating motor 9231, and the output shaft of the first rotating motor 9231 is transmission-connected to the first robotic arm 512; the first rotating mechanism can also be a rotating hydraulic cylinder or a rotating hollow platform, etc.

[0050] Furthermore, the second rotating mechanism may also be a rotating motor 9231, a rotating hydraulic cylinder or a rotating hollow platform, etc.

[0051] Specifically, the lifting mechanism is a cylinder, the cylinder body of the cylinder is fixed on the second rotating arm, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the third robotic arm 514; in this way, the third robotic arm 514 can be lifted and lowered by extending and retracting the telescopic rod of the cylinder; the lifting mechanism can also be a linear motor, or a structure in which a screw rod 921 cooperates with a screw rod nut 922.

[0052] More specifically, the third rotating mechanism is the second rotating motor 9231, the body of the second rotating motor 9231 is fixed on the second rotating arm, and the output shaft of the second rotating motor 9231 is fixedly connected to the cylinder body of the cylinder; in this way, the cylinder is driven to rotate by the second rotating motor 9231, and then the third rotating arm is linked to rotate; the third rotating mechanism can also rotate the liquid cylinder or the rotating hollow platform, etc.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the product photography conveying equipment also includes a conveying positioning device 70, which includes a conveying surface, a third conveying mechanism 71, a first positioning plate 72, a second positioning plate 73 and a guide structure 64; one end of the conveying surface is formed as a discharge end, and the other end is formed as a feed end; the third conveying mechanism 71 is used to convey the product 110 from the feed end to the discharge end; the conveying surface has a product feeding station 10, and the product feeding station 10 is located between the feed end and the discharge end; the first positioning plate 72 is arranged at one end of the product feeding station 10 close to the discharge end; the second positioning plate 73 is arranged on one side of the product feeding station 10; the guide structure 64 is used to guide the product 110 conveyed by the third conveying mechanism 71 to the product feeding station 10, and guide the product 110 to the side of the product feeding station 10 where the second positioning plate 73 is provided.

[0054] On the basis of the above structure, when in use, the product 110 is placed at the feed end, and the third conveying mechanism 71 conveys the product 110 toward the discharge end. At this time, under the guidance of the guide mechanism 74, the product 110 is guided to the product feeding station 10. The product 110 continues to move with the third conveying mechanism 71 and when it moves to the position of colliding with the first positioning plate 72, one end of the product 110 is positioned; at the same time, the guide mechanism 74 guides the product 110 to one side of the product feeding station 10, and when the product 110 collides with the second positioning plate 73, one side of the product 110 is positioned, thus completing the overall positioning of the product 110; thus, it is convenient for the subsequent transfer of the robot 50 and the positioning of the product 110, and it is also convenient for the subsequent image acquisition device 40 to acquire the appearance of the product 110.

[0055] Specifically, the guide mechanism 74 includes a guide plate having a guide surface 741, and the guide surface 741 is located on one side of the product feeding station 10 where the second positioning plate 73 is provided; the guide surface 741 gradually tilts toward the direction close to the product feeding station 10 from one end close to the feeding end to the other end; in this way, the product 110 moves along the guide surface 741 to the product feeding station 10 under the drive of the third conveying mechanism 71, and further, since the guide surface 741 is located on one side of the product feeding station 10, in this way, the product 110 is guided to the product feeding station 10 and at the same time, the product 110 is guided to one side of the product feeding station 10; only a guide plate is required to achieve the above-mentioned guiding effect, simplifying the structure, and this structure is easy to implement.

[0056] The product 110 conveying and positioning device 70 also includes a first power structure 75, which is used to drive the first positioning plate 72 to approach or move away from the product feeding station 10. In this way, when the first power structure 75 is used to drive the first positioning plate 72 away from the product feeding station 10, the first positioning plate 72 is away from the product 110, and the first positioning plate 72 can be prevented from causing friction obstruction to the picking up of the product 110; similarly, the product 110 conveying and positioning device 70 also includes a second power structure 76, which is used to drive the second positioning plate 73 to approach or move away from the product feeding station 10, so as to avoid causing friction obstruction to the product 110.

[0057] The above-mentioned first power structure 75 and second power structure 76 can both be structures that cooperate with a linear motor, a screw 921 and a screw nut 922. In this embodiment, the following implementation method is preferred. The first power structure 75 is a first cylinder, and the telescopic rod of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the first positioning plate 72; in this way, the first positioning plate 72 is driven to move by the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod of the first cylinder.

[0058] Furthermore, the second power structure 76 is a second cylinder, and the telescopic rod of the second cylinder is fixedly connected to the second positioning plate 73 .

[0059] Specifically, the third conveying mechanism 71 can be a conveyor belt conveying mechanism, which is an existing structure. Those skilled in the art can learn its specific structure and working principle from the prior art, which will not be repeated here; the above-mentioned third conveying mechanism 71 can also be an existing robot arm, etc.

[0060] The pushing mechanism 63 can adopt an existing manipulator, specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, the pushing mechanism 63 includes a pushing member 631 and a linear driving structure 632; the pushing member 631 is used to push the container 100; the linear driving structure 632 is used to drive the pushing member 631 to reciprocate between the pushing station and the qualified product station; in this way, by pushing the pushing member 631 against the container 100, and then under the drive of the linear driving structure 632, the pushing member 631 is driven to push the container 100, so as to realize the transportation of the container 100 from the pushing station to the qualified product station; in the above process, the linear driving structure 632 can be used to ensure linear drive and improve the accuracy of pushing.

[0061] It should be noted that the above-mentioned linear drive structure 632 can be a linear motor, a cylinder, or a structure in which a screw 921 and a screw nut 922 cooperate. The linear drive structure 632 can adopt the above-mentioned structure but is not limited to the above-mentioned structure, as long as it can drive the push member 631 to perform linear motion.

[0062] In order to improve the pushing mechanism 63 when pushing the container 100, to prevent the container 100 from being displaced due to external factors such as mechanical vibration, such as Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the product photography conveying device may also include a guide structure 64, which includes two guide members 641, and the guide members 641 may be guide rods 9261, guide plates or guide columns, etc.; the two guide members 641 are arranged corresponding to the pushing direction of the pushing mechanism 63, and a guide channel 642 is formed between the two guide members 641, and the guide structure 64 is used for the container 100 to pass through; in this way, the guiding effect of the guide members 641 can prevent the container 100 from being displaced; the above-mentioned guide structure 64 can also adopt the following structure, the guide structure 64 includes a guide plate, and the guide channel 642 is opened on the guide plate.

[0063] The above-mentioned first conveying mechanism 61 can be an existing robot. In this embodiment, the following implementation mode is preferred. The first conveying mechanism 61 is a conveyor belt conveying mechanism; the conveyor belt conveying mechanism is an existing component, and its specific structure can be known to those skilled in the art from the prior art, and will not be described here; a container feeding station is formed on one side of the conveyor belt conveying mechanism, and a pushing station is formed on the other side; in this way, continuous conveying can be achieved relative to the existing robot.

[0064] like Figure 2-5 As shown, in order to prevent the container 100 from continuing to move with the conveyor conveying mechanism after the container 100 moves to the pushing station, more preferably, the container conveying device 60 also includes a first blocking member 65, which can be a blocking rod, a blocking plate 6721 or a blocking block, etc.; the first blocking member 65 is used to prevent the container 100 from continuing to move with the conveyor conveying mechanism when it is transported to the pushing station, thereby ensuring the smooth implementation of subsequent pushing operations.

[0065] In order to prevent the subsequent containers 100 from affecting the pushing operation of the pushing mechanism 63, preferably, the container conveying device 60 further includes a blocking mechanism 66, which is used to prevent the container 100 conveyed by the conveyor belt conveying mechanism from entering the pushing station. When it is not necessary to convey the container 100 to the pushing station, the blocking mechanism 66 is used to prevent the subsequent container 100 from continuing to move, thereby avoiding interference with the previous container 100; at the same time, the subsequent container 100 can continue to be conveyed in the direction of the pushing station, thereby improving efficiency.

[0066] The above-mentioned blocking mechanism 66 can be implemented in the following ways: Implementation method one, the blocking mechanism 66 includes a telescopic cylinder 661 and a second blocking member 662, and the second blocking member 662 can be a blocking rod, a blocking plate 6721, a blocking block, etc.; the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 661 is fixedly connected to the second blocking member 662; in this way, the second blocking member 662 is driven to move by the telescopic process of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 661, thereby realizing that the second blocking member 662 blocks the container 100 or releases the container 100.

[0067] Embodiment 2: The blocking mechanism 66 includes two clamps and a power structure for controlling the two clamps to move closer to or farther from each other. Thus, by controlling the two clamps to move closer to each other, the container 100 can be clamped to prevent the container 100 from continuing to move; and by controlling the two clamps to move away from each other, the container 100 can be released.

[0068] Since the conveyor belt conveying mechanism can continue to maintain the conveying state during the process of pushing the container 100, the conveying power of the conveyor belt conveying mechanism may generate a pushing resistance to the container 100 or deviate the container 100, so further, the container conveying device 60 also includes a lifting mechanism 67, which is used to lift the container 100 located at the pushing station upward. At this time, the container 100 at the pushing station can be separated from the conveyor belt conveying mechanism, thereby preventing the container 100 from being affected by the conveyor belt conveying mechanism.

[0069] like Figure 2 and Figure 10-12 As shown, further, the lifting mechanism 67 includes a lifting cylinder 671 and a lifting plate 672; the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 671 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 672; the lifting plate 672 is driven to rise and fall by the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 671, so that the container 100 can be lifted upward.

[0070] The lifting mechanism 67 can also be implemented in the following manner. The lifting mechanism 67 includes a linear motor and a lifting member.

[0071] In order to limit the container 100 and improve the accuracy of pushing, preferably, the opposite sides of the lifting plate 672 extend upward to form baffles 6721, and a gap that can accommodate the container 100 is formed between the two baffles 6721; the two baffles 6721 are arranged corresponding to the pushing direction of the pushing mechanism 63; in this way, the container 100 is restricted between the two baffles 6721, and the baffles 6721 can prevent the container 100 from deviating.

[0072] In order to prevent the product 110 from falling directly into the bottom of the container 100 due to the height problem of the container 100 when the product 110 is transferred into the container 100, thereby damaging the structure of the product 110, preferably, a supporting plate 101 is movably arranged in the container 100, and a through hole 102 is passed through the bottom of the container 100; the product photography conveying equipment also includes a pushing mechanism 90, the pushing mechanism 90 includes a lifting platform 91 and a lifting drive mechanism 92, the lifting platform 91 can pass through the through hole 102 and collide with the bottom of the supporting plate 101; the lifting drive mechanism 92 is used to drive the lifting platform 91 to rise and fall; in this way, the lifting platform 91 is driven to rise by the lifting mechanism, and the lifting platform 91 pushes the supporting plate 101 upward to reduce the distance between the product 110 and the supporting plate 101 when the product 110 is placed in the container 100, and when the number of products 110 gradually increases, the lifting platform 91 is electrically lifted downward, and the supporting plate 101 descends with the lifting platform 91 to ensure that the product 110 is placed in the container 100.

[0073] The lifting drive mechanism 92 can adopt a linear motor or a cylinder. In the present embodiment, preferably, the lifting drive mechanism 92 includes a screw 921, a screw nut 922, a rotation drive assembly 923 and a bracket 924; the screw 921 is installed on the bracket 924 and can be lifted and lowered relative to the bracket 924; the screw nut 922 is matchedly mounted on the screw 921 and is pivotally connected to the bracket 924, where the screw nut 922 can be pivotally connected by means of a bearing or a pivot shaft; the rotation drive assembly 923 is used to drive the screw nut 922 to rotate; the top end of the screw 921 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting platform 91. In this way, when the rotary drive component 923 drives the lead screw nut 922 to rotate, the lead screw 921 is lifted and lowered under the cooperation with the thread of the lead screw nut 922 and the reverse restriction that the lead screw 921 can only be lifted and lowered. That is, the lifting platform 91 is lifted and lowered by the lead screw 921. It should be noted here that the raising or lowering of the lead screw 921 can be achieved respectively by adjusting the driving direction of the rotary drive component 923. In the above structure, there is no need to stagger the lead screw 921 and the lifting platform 91 in the horizontal direction, which reduces the overall volume after assembly and reduces the space occupied.

[0074] The above-mentioned rotary drive component 923 can be a rotary hydraulic cylinder or a hollow rotary platform. When a rotary hydraulic cylinder is used, the output shaft of the rotary hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the screw nut 922. In this way, the screw nut 922 is directly driven to rotate by the rotary hydraulic cylinder. However, this structure requires that the output shaft of the rotary hydraulic cylinder and the screw 921 be coaxially arranged, which makes the installation too complicated. In addition, due to the large mechanical vibration of the rotary hydraulic cylinder, the screw nut 922 vibrates and causes damage.

[0075] In this embodiment, the rotary drive assembly 923 preferably has the following implementation mode: the rotary drive assembly 923 includes a rotary motor 9231, a driving gear 9232, a transmission belt 9233 and a transmission gear 9234; the driving gear 9232 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the rotary motor 9231; the transmission gear 9234 is fixed on the screw nut 922; the transmission belt 9233 is wound around the driving gear 9232 and the transmission gear 9234. It is known from common sense that at this time, the toothed structure on the transmission belt 9233 is respectively meshed with the driving gear 9232 and the transmission gear 9234 to achieve force transmission; in this way, when in use, the rotary motor 9231 is started. 31, the output shaft of the rotating motor 9231 rotates to drive the driving gear 9232 to rotate. At this time, the driving gear 9232 transmits power to the transmission gear 9234 through the transmission belt 9233, and the transmission gear 9234 is linked to the screw nut 922, thereby driving the screw nut 922 to rotate; in the above structure, the power of the rotating motor 9231 is transmitted through the cooperation of the driving gear 9232, the transmission belt 9233, and the transmission gear 9234, thereby alleviating the influence of the mechanical vibration of the rotating motor 9231 on the screw nut 922 and reducing wear; furthermore, it is necessary to set the output shaft of the rotating motor 9231 coaxially with the output shaft of the screw 921 to simplify the installation steps.

[0076] Specifically, the body of the rotating motor 9231 is fixed on the bracket 924 .

[0077] In order to prevent the transmission belt 9233 from detaching from the active gear 9232 or the passive gear due to vibration during the transmission process, preferably, the lifting drive mechanism 92 also includes an anti-slip wheel 925; the anti-slip wheel 925 is pivotally connected to the bracket 924 and is provided with an annular limiting groove 9251; the transmission belt 9233 is movably mounted in the annular limiting groove 9251; in this way, during the movement of the transmission belt 9233, the transmission belt 9233 moves relative to the limiting groove, and the groove wall of the limiting groove limits the up and down movement of the transmission belt 9233, thereby preventing the transmission belt 9233 from falling off; furthermore, the anti-slip wheel 925 is pivotally connected, and the limiting groove is annular. When the transmission belt 9233 moves, the anti-slip wheel 925 moves with the transmission belt 9233, which can reduce the friction between the transmission belt 9233 and the anti-slip wheel 925; it should be noted here that the above-mentioned annular refers to a structure in which the extension trajectory of the limiting groove is a closed structure at both ends, and is not limited to a circular, elliptical, square, etc.

[0078] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism 92 further includes a guide assembly 926, which includes a guide rod 9261 and a connecting block 9262; the guide rod 9261 is vertically arranged and fixed on the bracket 924; the connecting block 9262 is movably sleeved on the guide rod 9261, and the connecting block 9262 is fixedly connected to the screw nut 922. In this way, when the screw nut 922 is linked with the screw rod 921, due to the restrictions of the guide rod 9261 and the connecting block 9262, the screw rod 921 can only move vertically. Moreover, the guide rod 9261 plays a guiding role, which improves the stability of the movement of the screw rod 921.

[0079] Furthermore, the number of the guide components 926 can be set to two groups, and the two groups of guide components 926 are placed on opposite sides of the screw rod 921 to further improve the stability of the movement of the screw rod 921.

[0080] When the lifting drive mechanism 92 is used, since the highest position and the lowest position of the lifting platform 91 are limited during use, in order to prevent the lifting platform 91 from being too high or too low during lifting, preferably, the connecting block 9262 is arranged at the bottom end of the screw rod 921; the guide assembly 926 also includes a controller and two sensors; the two sensors are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the screw rod 921, and the upper and lower sides of the setting position of the sensor, and the setting position of the sensor is set according to actual needs; the sensor is used to send a signal to the controller when sensing the connecting block 9262; the controller is used to turn off the rotating drive assembly 923 when receiving the signal; in this way, the screw rod 921 moves upward, and the sensor located above sends a signal to the controller when sensing the connecting block 9262, and the controller turns off the rotating drive assembly 923 at this time, so that the lifting platform 91 can be prevented from being too high; similarly, the sensor located below can prevent the lifting platform 91 from being too low; in this way, automatic control of the lifting position of the screw can be achieved.

[0081] The above-mentioned controller can adopt the existing PLC controller with the model of OMRON-CP1L-M40DR-A or OMRON-CJ1W-ID201 or OMRON-CP1E-NA20DT1-D; the above-mentioned sensor can adopt the existing proximity switch with the model of OMRON--E2E-X7D1-N, the travel switch with the model of OMRON-D4V-8112Z, the photoelectric switch or the grating or the photoelectric sensor with the model of OMRON-E3Z-B67; the working principle and circuit diagram of the above-mentioned controller and sensor can be obtained from the prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0082] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
