Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a top view of an embodiment of a ferrule assembly in a connection device of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of an embodiment of a ferrule assembly in a connection device of the present invention. Figure 4 It is a structural explosion diagram of an embodiment of a buckle assembly in a connecting device of the present invention.

[0048] The connecting device 100 provided by the present invention includes a ferrule assembly 10 and a buckle assembly 20 .

[0049] The ferrule assembly 10 includes a ferrule body 11 and at least one set of retaining spring assemblies 12 .

[0050] Furthermore, the ferrule body 11 is a circular ring body, and a plurality of through holes 111 are provided on the circumferential side of the circular ring body for connecting the retaining spring assembly 12. Furthermore, the ferrule body 11 is in a through shape at both ends of the axial direction of the circular ring body, so that an external structure such as the connecting shaft 21 described below can pass through or partially pass through. It is understood that in other embodiments, the shape of the ferrule body 11 can also be set to other shapes according to the layout of the specific product, such as the shape of the ferrule body 11 can be set to a square cylinder, which will not be listed here one by one.

[0051] Further, the circlip assembly 12 includes a circlip mounting seat 123, a spring 122, and a circlip head 121 disposed at the end of the spring 122. The circlip head is connected to the circlip mounting seat 123 through the spring 122, and the circlip assembly 12 is connected to the ferrule body 11 through the circlip mounting seat 123. The spring 122 is used to elastically bias the circlip head 121 so that the circlip head 121 can be extended and retracted relative to the inner circumferential surface along the radial direction of the ferrule body 11.

[0052] Furthermore, the size of the through hole 111 provided on the ferrule body 11 and extending radially of the ferrule body 11 matches the size of the spring assembly 12, and the spring sleeve 123 in the spring assembly 12 is provided with a receiving cavity, the spring head 121 and the spring 122 are at least partially provided in the receiving cavity, and the spring sleeve 123 is inserted into and fixed in the through hole 111. Among them, one end of the spring 122 is fixedly connected to the spring sleeve 123, and the other end of the spring 122 is connected to one end of the spring head 121 for linkage with the spring head 121, and the other end of the spring head 121 is used to cooperate with the buckle assembly 20 to achieve snap connection.

[0053] Specifically, when the external driving force directed from the spring head 121 to the spring 122 is greater than the elastic force provided by the spring 122, at least a portion of the spring head 121 and the spring 122 will be compressed into the spring sleeve 123; conversely, when the elastic force directed to the spring head 121 provided by the spring 122 is greater than the external driving force directed from the spring head 121 to the spring 122, the spring head 121 will remain extended out of the spring sleeve 123.

[0054] The buckle assembly 20 includes a mounting seat 24, a connecting shaft 21 that can be inserted into the ferrule body 11, and a first truncated cone sleeve 22 and a second truncated cone sleeve 23 that are sleeved on the connecting shaft 21. The first truncated cone sleeve 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 21, and the second truncated cone sleeve 23 is slidably connected to the connecting shaft 21. The second truncated cone sleeve 23 includes a second truncated cone surface 231 and a third truncated cone surface 232 that are connected at the bottom, and the second truncated cone surface 231 can completely enter the first truncated cone sleeve 22. The mounting seat 24 is arranged on the side of the second truncated cone sleeve 23 away from the first truncated cone sleeve 22 to limit the position of the second truncated cone sleeve 23 to prevent the second truncated cone sleeve 23 from falling off the connecting shaft 21 when sliding from the connecting shaft 21.

[0055] The spring assembly 12 is pressed against the first truncated cone sleeve 22 or the second truncated cone sleeve 23 to achieve locking or unlocking of the sleeve assembly 10 and the buckle assembly 20 .

[0056] Furthermore, the connecting device provided in the present application also includes an external driving member (not shown), and the external driving member is connected to the sleeve assembly 10 or the buckle assembly 20, and is used to provide an external driving force to enable the spring assembly 12 to move along the outer surface of the first conical sleeve 22 and the second conical sleeve 23.

[0057] Further, the first truncated cone sleeve 22 includes a first truncated cone surface 221 and a lower end surface 223. The cross section of the first truncated cone surface 221 perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting shaft 21 gradually increases in the direction toward the second truncated cone sleeve 23. Specifically, when the first truncated cone surface 221 is a regular truncated cone surface, the diameter of the first truncated cone surface 221 gradually increases in the direction from A to B. The lower end surface 223 is disposed adjacent to the second truncated cone sleeve 23 and is provided with a recessed area 222.

[0058] The second frustum 231 in the second frustum sleeve 23 is fixedly connected to the third frustum 232. Further, the cross section of the second frustum 231 perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting shaft 21 gradually decreases in the direction toward the first frustum sleeve 22, and the cross section of the third frustum 232 perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting shaft 21 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first frustum sleeve 22.

[0059] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the second truncated cone sleeve 23 can move between the first position and the second position along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 21 under the drive of an external driving force or its own gravity. When in the first position, the first truncated cone sleeve 22 and the second truncated cone sleeve 23 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 21, so that the retaining spring head 121 can move along the first truncated cone surface 221 to between the first truncated cone sleeve 22 and the second truncated cone sleeve 23, and then realize the locking between the retaining spring assembly 10 and the buckle assembly 20 through the snap connection with the lower end surface 223; when the connecting shaft 21 is driven to continue to move upward by the external driving force, due to The mounting seat 24 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 21 and continues to move upward together, so the spring head 121 can move downward along the second conical surface 231 in the second conical sleeve 23 to the transition surface 25, and continue to move downward along the third conical surface 232, and squeeze the second conical sleeve 23, so that the second conical surface 231 in the second conical sleeve 23 enters the recessed area 222 inside the first conical surface 221, and the connecting shaft 21 continues to move downward under the action of external force. Since the second conical surface 231 in the second conical sleeve 23 is in the recessed area 222 inside the first conical surface 221 at this time, it can be formed as follows Fig.10 The state shown in the figure, then, the spring head 121 can continue to move upward relative to the connecting shaft 21 along the third truncated cone surface 232, through the transition surface 25 and the first truncated cone surface 221, at this time, the second truncated cone sleeve 23 can automatically return to its original position under the action of its own gravity, and the unlocking between the clamping sleeve assembly 10 and the buckle assembly 20 is realized. Among them, the second position is the position of the second truncated cone sleeve 23 on the connecting shaft 21 when the second truncated cone surface 231 in the second truncated cone sleeve 23 is inserted into the recessed area 222. Among them, the distance between the first position and the second position can be set according to the structure required to be connected externally, and is not specifically limited here.

[0060] Furthermore, when the first frustum 221, the second frustum 231 and the third frustum 232 are regular frustums, the maximum diameter of the first frustum sleeve surface 221 is smaller than the maximum diameter of the second frustum 231 in the second frustum sleeve 23, which can prevent the second frustum 231 in the second frustum sleeve 23 from being stuck by the first frustum sleeve 22 during the movement of inserting into the recessed area 222, making it impossible to complete the subsequent separation of the first frustum sleeve 22 and the second frustum sleeve 23.

[0061] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the diameter of the second frustum surface 231 gradually decreases in the direction approaching the first frustum sleeve 22, the diameter of the third frustum surface 232 gradually increases in the direction approaching the first frustum sleeve 22, the diameters of the portion where the second frustum surface 231 is connected to the third frustum surface 232 are equal, and the diameter of the portion where the second frustum surface 231 and the third frustum surface 232 are connected is larger than the diameter of other portions of the second frustum sleeve 23.

[0062] Furthermore, in yet another embodiment, the bottom diameters of the second frustum surface 231 and the third frustum surface 232 are equal to the diameter of the lower end surface 223 of the first frustum sleeve 22 .

[0063] Furthermore, the slope of the second frustum surface 231 is smaller than the slope of the first frustum surface 221 in the first frustum sleeve 22 .

[0064] Furthermore, a transition surface 25 is provided between the second frustum surface 231 and the third frustum surface 232 , and the transition surface 25 is parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 21 . In the current embodiment, the provision of the transition surface 25 can better guide the movement of the retaining ring head 121 .

[0065] Further, in another embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 2 , the spring assemblies 12 are at least two groups, and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the ferrule body 11. Specifically, at least two groups of spring assemblies 12 can be arranged at the same central angle along the ferrule body 11. In one embodiment, three groups of spring assemblies 12 can be arranged, and two adjacent groups of spring assemblies 12 are arranged at a central angle of 120 degrees, thereby cooperating with the buckle assembly 20 to provide a stable connection relationship.

[0066] Please continue to see Figures 1 to 4 In the connection device provided by the present invention, the mounting seat 24 in the buckle assembly 20 is also used to directly or indirectly support the first truncated cone sleeve 22 and the second truncated cone sleeve 23. The mounting seat 24 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 21 and moves synchronously under the drive of an external force. When the connection device 100 is used to connect an external mechanism, the mounting seat 24 is also used to connect to the external mechanism (not shown in the figure). For details, please refer to the description of the relevant part of the stacking device below.

[0067] Furthermore, in order to prevent the second truncated cone sleeve 23 from being worn when moving on the connecting shaft 21, a connecting piece (not shown) is provided between the second truncated cone sleeve 23 and the connecting shaft 21 to reduce the wear between the connecting shaft 21 and the second truncated cone sleeve 23. Specifically, the connecting piece includes at least: a sleeve or a linear bearing.

[0068] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a scene in which the second cone sleeve 23 in the buckle assembly 20 of a connecting device of the present invention is in the first position, Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of a scene in which the second cone sleeve 23 in the buckle assembly 20 of the present invention is in the second position.

[0069] Specifically, by Figures 5 and 6The workflow in the illustrated scene connection device 100 at least includes: when the second conical sleeve 23 is in the first position, driven by external force, the connecting shaft 21 and the first conical sleeve 22 and the second conical sleeve 23 arranged thereon move relative to the spring head 121 in the direction from the second conical sleeve 23 to the first conical sleeve 22. Since the position of the spring head 121 in the direction from the second conical sleeve 23 to the first conical sleeve 22 is fixed, the spring head 121 can move along the second conical surface 231 to the third conical surface 232 relative to the second conical sleeve 23. At this time, the spring head 121 in the ferrule assembly 10 can provide a force pointing to the third conical surface 232, assisting the reverse movement of the connecting shaft 21 and driving the second conical sleeve 23 to move from the first position to the second position with the cooperation of the spring head 121, thereby completing the unlocking of the buckle assembly 20 and the ferrule assembly 10.

[0070] Specifically, see Figures 7 to 11 Combined with Figure 1 , Figures 7 to 11 The following are schematic diagrams of the working process of the connection device 100 provided by the present invention. The working process of the connection device 100 provided by the present invention specifically includes:

[0071] First, see Figure 1 In the unlocked state or the initial state, the spring head 121 in the ferrule assembly 10 in the connection device 100 provided by the present invention abuts against the outer side of the first truncated cone surface 221 in the buckle assembly 20. At this time, the second truncated cone sleeve 23 is in the first position. Since the first truncated cone sleeve 22 and the connecting shaft 21 are fixedly arranged, the second truncated cone sleeve 23 and the connecting shaft 21 are slidably connected, and under the action of the gravity of the second truncated cone sleeve 23 itself, the first truncated cone sleeve 22 and the second truncated cone sleeve 23 in the buckle assembly 20 are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction of the connecting shaft 21.

[0072] When the buckle assembly 20 and the ferrule assembly 10 are in an unlocked initial state, see Figure 7 When the connecting shaft 21 moves in the direction from the second conical sleeve 23 to the first conical sleeve 22 under the drive of the external driving component, since the diameter of the first conical surface 221 gradually increases in the direction from the first conical sleeve 22 to the second conical sleeve 23, the first conical surface 221 applies pressure to the retaining spring head 121 in the direction of the spring 122, so that the retaining spring head 121 is compressed into the retaining spring sleeve 123.

[0073] See also Figure 8When the spring head 121 moves between the first truncated cone sleeve 22 and the second truncated cone sleeve 23, since there is no pressure in the direction of the spring head 121 pointing to the spring 122 that can offset the elastic force of the spring 122, the spring head 121 pops out to the recessed area 222 and engages with the lower end surface 223 in the first truncated cone sleeve 22. In the vertical direction, under the action of the gravity of the buckle assembly 20 itself, or when the connecting shaft 21 is subjected to a downward pulling force, the buckle assembly 20 can be locked with the ferrule assembly 10, thereby completing the connection between the structure connected by the buckle assembly 20 and the structure connected by the ferrule assembly 10. If at this time, the connecting shaft 21 stops moving, the first truncated cone sleeve 22 and the second truncated cone sleeve 23 are in a locked state, then the corresponding locking between the ferrule assembly 10 and the buckle assembly 20 will be maintained, thereby achieving that its external mechanisms are always connected.

[0074] See also Fig. 9 If the locking relationship between the two needs to be released, the external drive mechanism will Figure 8 On this basis, the connecting shaft 21 is continuously driven to move along the direction of the second conical sleeve 23 pointing to the first conical sleeve 22 , thereby enabling the retaining spring head 121 to move from the second conical surface 231 through the transition surface 25 to abut against the third conical surface 232 .

[0075] Please also see Fig.10 and Fig.11 After the retaining spring head 121 moves from the second conical surface 231 to abut against the third conical surface 232, since the second conical sleeve 23 and the connecting shaft 21 are movably connected, the spring 122 will squeeze the second conical sleeve 23, so that the second conical sleeve 23 is close to the first conical sleeve 22 along the connecting shaft until the second conical surface 231 in the second conical sleeve 23 is squeezed into the recessed area 222. At this time, a driving force is applied to the connecting shaft 21 from the first conical sleeve 22 to the direction of the second conical sleeve 23. At this time, the spring 122 will pass through the third conical surface 232 and the transition surface 25 to press against the first conical sleeve 221, thereby releasing the connection between the buckle assembly 20 and the sleeve assembly 10, and finally releasing the connection relationship between the external mechanisms connected to the two.

[0076] The connecting device 100 provided by the present invention can achieve locking or unlocking between the sleeve assembly 10 and the buckle assembly 20 under the drive of an external driving assembly through the cooperation of the spring head 121 with the first conical surface 221, the second conical surface 231 and the third conical surface 232, can better realize active connection, and is easy to operate.

Fig.13This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a driving assembly and other related structures in an embodiment of a stacking device of the present invention. Fig.14 It is a structural schematic diagram of a fixing frame and other related structures in an embodiment of a stacking device of the present invention.

[0078] In the current embodiment, the stacking device 200 provided by the present invention includes a supporting frame 40 , a connecting device 100 , a fixing frame 30 , a detection assembly 50 and a driving assembly 60 .

[0079] The support frame 40 is used to carry stacked materials.

[0080] The fixing frame 30 is used to fix at least part of the structure in the stacking device 200. Specifically, the fixing frame 30 includes two groups of columns 33 and 32, a crossbeam 31 arranged at the upper ends of the columns 33 and 32, and a side plate 34 slidably arranged on the two groups of columns 33 and 32. The buckle assembly 20 in the connecting device 100 is arranged on the side plate 34, and the sleeve assembly 10 is arranged on the crossbeam 31. The two groups of columns 33 and 32 are parallel to each other and arranged at intervals, the crossbeam 31 is perpendicular and fixedly connected to one end of the columns 32 and 33 respectively, and the other ends of the two groups of columns 32 and 33 are perpendicularly connected to the base plate 204.

[0081] Among them, the side panel 34 is slidingly connected to the two groups of columns 32 and 33 respectively, the sleeve assembly 10 of the connecting device 100 is fixedly connected to the beam 31, the detection assembly 50 is fixedly connected to the side panel 34, and the buckle assembly 20 of the connecting device 100 is fixedly connected to the side panel 34 through the mounting seat 24.

[0082] The support frame 40 is used to carry the stacked materials, and the support frame 40 is connected to the moving end of the driving assembly 60, and is used to move along the set direction under the drive of the driving assembly 60. Further, the extension end of the support frame 40 away from the driving assembly 60 passes between the two groups of columns 32 and 33, and the support frame 40 can be close to or away from the beam 31 under the drive of the driving assembly 60 to receive the stacked materials or the detection assembly 50.

[0083] The detection assembly 50 is disposed on the side plate 34 and is used to detect the height of the stacked materials on the support frame 40. Specifically, the detection assembly 50 is as described above. Figures 1 to 11 The connecting device 100 described in any one of the corresponding embodiments is mounted on the fixing frame 30 and is used to detect the height of the stacked materials on the supporting frame 40. The detection component 50 is also used to detect the setting structure in the stacking device 200 when the stacking device 200 is in the maintenance state to determine whether the setting structure is offset relative to the initial position.

[0084] The driving assembly 60 is connected to the support frame 40 and is used to drive the movement of the support frame 40 to ensure that the upper end of the material placed on the support frame 40 is always located in the detection range of the detection assembly 50.

[0085] The support frame 40 is located below the side plate 34 and can support the movement of the side plate 34 and the detection assembly 50 disposed on the side plate under the drive of the driving assembly 60, so that the detection assembly 50 can switch between the low maintenance position and the detection position.

[0086] Furthermore, the driving assembly 60 includes an electric cylinder or a motor.

[0087] Among them, the driving component 60 is further used to drive the support frame 40 to support the detection component 50 and move in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the locking of the connecting device 100, so as to mount the detection component 50 on the fixed frame 30 to detect the material, or to unlock the connecting device 100 and thereby release the connection relationship between the detection component 50 and the fixed frame 30 and return it to the maintenance position.

[0088] After the driving assembly 60 transfers the detection assembly 50 to the inspection position, the detection assembly 50 can be used to detect the setting structure and determine whether the setting structure has positional deviation according to the detection result. The setting structure at least includes a bearing assembly for bearing materials.

[0089] Furthermore, the support frame 40 is also provided with a magnetic member 202, which is used to adsorb the mounting seat in the connecting device 100. There can be multiple magnetic members 202, which are specifically arranged according to the properties of the magnetic members 202 and the layout requirements of the device.

[0090] Furthermore, a fixing nut 101 is also provided at the end where the connecting device 100 is connected to the detection component 50, and a fixing groove 203 is provided on the support frame 40. The magnetic suction part 202 is arranged on the side of the fixing groove 203 for adsorbing the fixing nut 101 and cooperating with the fixing groove 203 to fix the fixing nut 101, so that this part of the connecting device 100 and the structure connected thereto are connected to the support frame 40, and then move with the support frame 40.

[0091] Further, please also see Fig.15 and Fig.16 , Fig.15 This is a front view of a load-bearing component in a stacking device of the present invention. Fig.16The three-dimensional structural diagram of a load-bearing assembly in a stacking device of the present invention. The stacking device 200 further includes a load-bearing assembly 70, a support plate 206 and a mounting plate 210. The support plate 206 is fixed to the output end of the drive assembly 60. The mounting plate 210 is arranged at the end of the support plate 206 away from the drive assembly 60. The support frame 40 is vertically arranged on the mounting plate 210. The support frame 40 extends in a direction perpendicular to the mounting plate 210 and away from the drive assembly 60. The load-bearing assembly 70 is arranged at the end of the support frame 40 away from the drive assembly 60 for carrying stacked materials.

[0092] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the support frame 40 relative to the mounting plate 210, the stacking device 200 provided by the present invention also includes a stiffening rib 207 for connecting the support frame 40 and the mounting frame, so that the stiffening rib 207, a portion in the mounting plate 210 and a portion in the support frame 40 can form a stable triangle, thereby allowing the support frame 40 to more stably carry the stacked materials.

[0093] For further information, see Fig.15 and 16 The bearing assembly 70 of the present invention includes a grip base 74, a bearing base 72, and a bearing end plate 73 disposed on the bearing base 72. The bearing end plate 73 is used to directly bear stacked materials. The grip base 74 is disposed between the bearing base 72 and the bearing end plate 73 so as to facilitate an external transfer mechanism (not shown) to transfer the stacked materials carried on the bearing end plate 73. Among them, at least one set of avoidance grooves 71 is also disposed on the bearing base 72 to avoid the support frame 40. Specifically, the number of avoidance grooves 71 can be set according to the specific shape of the support frame 40, which will not be elaborated in detail here.

[0094] Furthermore, the side plate 34 is slidably connected to the columns 32 and 33 via the slider 209 and the slide rail 208 respectively.

[0095] The buckle assembly 20 in the connecting device 100 is fixedly connected to the side plate 34. When in working state, the connecting device 100 is used to connect the side plate 34 and the detection assembly 50 to the crossbeam 31, so that the height of the detection assembly 50 is at a preset height, so as to detect the offset of the stacked materials carried by the support frame 40. In the technical solution provided by the present invention, the detection assembly 50 is always fixedly connected to the crossbeam 31 in the working state, so as to detect the offset of the stacking assembly while keeping the height of the detection assembly 50 unchanged. Compared with the prior art that requires the detection assembly 50 to continuously adjust the height of the detection assembly 50 during the detection of the stacking assembly, the technical solution provided by the present invention can better ensure the accuracy of the detection assembly 50, and also improve the service life of the detection assembly 50.

[0096] Furthermore, the detection assembly 50 includes two groups of sensor assemblies fixedly disposed on the side plate 34 and a support plate 201 disposed corresponding to the sensor assemblies.

[0097] Furthermore, the sensor assembly includes at least a profilometer. The support plate 201 is vertically fixed on the side plate 34, and the profilometer is fixed on the side plate 34 through the support plate 201 to detect the deviation of the stacked materials carried by the support frame 40. Furthermore, in order to increase the stability of the support plate 201, the support plate 201 includes two mutually perpendicular connecting plates, and the two connecting plates are integrally formed.

[0098] The maintenance process of the stacking device 200 provided by the present invention is as follows: in one embodiment, when the buckle assembly 20 in the connecting device 100 is fixedly connected to the side plate 34 at one end away from the ferrule assembly 10, and the end of the buckle assembly 20 away from the ferrule assembly 10 is provided with a fixing nut 101, when it is necessary to use the detection assembly 50 to detect the bearing assembly 70, the driving assembly 60 will first drive the support frame 40 to move to the bottom of the side plate 34, and then drive the side plate 34 to move upward in the vertical direction to drive the connecting shaft 21 to move upward in the vertical direction, so that the buckle assembly 20 and the ferrule assembly 10 are unlocked. When the buckle assembly 20 and the ferrule assembly 10 are unlocked, the side plate 34 and the detection assembly 50 arranged thereon are supported by the support frame 40. When the side plate 34 and the detection assembly 50 fall on the support frame 40, the fixing nut 101 provided at the end of the buckle assembly 20 away from the ferrule assembly 10 cooperates with the groove on the support frame 40 and the magnetic attraction member 202, thereby connecting the detection assembly 50 to the support frame 40, and then moving downward in the vertical direction to a set height under the drive of the driving assembly 60, and then detecting the bearing assembly 70 to determine whether the bearing assembly 70 is offset. In one embodiment, the ferrule assembly 10 can be connected to the crossbeam 31 through the fixing plate 102.

[0099] Please also see Figures 12 to 16 , and combined with Figures 17 to 19 , Fig.17 This is a schematic diagram of the detection results of a detection component in an embodiment of a stacking device of the present invention. Fig.18 This is a schematic diagram of the detection results of a detection component in another embodiment of a stacking device of the present invention. Fig.19 The following is a schematic diagram of the detection result of the detection component in another embodiment of a stacking device of the present invention. The detection process of the detection component 50 for the load-bearing component 70 in the stacking device 200 provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0100] During maintenance, the detection substrate (prefabricated plate, used to simulate the working state of placing materials on the support base of the load-bearing component 70) is placed on the support base where the materials are located in the load-bearing component 70. Driven by the driving component 60, the support frame 40 moves upward to the fixed groove thereon and is connected to the fixing nut 101 provided at the lower end of the connecting shaft 21 in the buckle component 20, and continues to move upward until the second frustum in the second frustum sleeve 23 enters the recessed area of ​​the first frustum. Then the driving component 60 drives the support frame 40 and the mounting seat 24 to move downward as a whole, thereby unlocking and disengaging the buckle component 20 and the clamping sleeve component 10. The driving component 60 continues to drive the support frame 40, the mounting seat 24, the side plate 34 and the detection component 50 to move downward as a whole until the detection component 50 reaches the preset position. The detection range of the detection component 50 is as follows: Figure 17-19 As shown, the line segment p indicates that the height of the detection component 50 can detect the object to be detected, and specifically, it can be indicated that the detection range of the detection component 50 is higher than the height of the material to be detected or the detection substrate. When the position of the supporting component 70 is not offset, the preset detection height of the detection end surface 75 in the detection substrate that the detection component 50 can detect is H. The detection end surface 75 is the end surface of the supporting component 70 facing the detection component 50.

[0101] If it appears Fig.18 As shown, the supporting assembly 70 is offset in the X direction, and the detected height of the detection substrate is H+h1.

[0102] If it appears Fig.19 As shown, the displacement of the supporting assembly 70 in the Z direction means that the height of the detection substrate detected is H+h2.

[0103] It can be known from this that as long as the bearing assembly 70 has the above-mentioned offset, the height of the detection substrate detected by the detection assembly 50 is greater than H. Therefore, if the detection height of the detection substrate detected by the detection assembly 50 (not the actual body height of the bearing assembly 70) is not within the preset range, it can be determined that the bearing assembly 70 has a position offset and needs to be corrected. Among them, the preset range is set according to the size of the bearing assembly 70 and the position of the detection assembly 50 relative to the bearing assembly 70 when it is in the maintenance state, and is not specifically limited here.

[0104] The above description is only an implementation mode of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
