[0053] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0054] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0055] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a steel sheet picking and placing device, which comprises: a steel sheet feeding mechanism, a carrier conveying mechanism 600 and a steel sheet picking and placing mechanism 700 .

[0057] The steel sheet feeding mechanism includes a steel sheet conveying assembly, a lifting assembly 300, a jacking assembly 400 and a steel sheet detaching assembly 500. The steel sheet conveying assembly is used to convey the steel sheet to the feeding station. The steel sheet conveying assembly includes a first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 and a second steel sheet conveying assembly 200. The first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 is arranged at the feeding station, and the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200 is arranged at the material receiving station. The lifting assembly 300 is used to lift and lower the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 or the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200. The jacking assembly 400 is arranged at the feeding station. The jacking assembly 400 is used to lift the steel sheet upward for discharging. The steel sheet detaching assembly 500 is arranged at the feeding station and is located above the jacking assembly 400. The steel sheet detaching assembly 500 is used to separate the uppermost steel sheet from the steel sheet below.

[0058] The carrier conveying mechanism 600 may be disposed at one side of the loading station, and is used to convey the carrier 40 to one side of the loading station.

[0059] The steel sheet picking and placing mechanism 700 is used to pick up the steel sheets from the loading station and place them on the carrier 40 on the carrier conveying mechanism 600 .

[0060] The steel sheet feeding mechanism can realize automatic steel sheet feeding, the carrier conveying mechanism 600 can realize automatic movement of the carrier 40 to the feeding station, and the steel sheet picking and placing mechanism 700 can realize automatic picking and placing of the steel sheet on the carrier 40. Therefore, the above device of the present invention can realize automatic steel sheet installation, and the whole installation process is highly efficient.

[0061] When using, Figure 8 As shown, a frame for holding steel sheets can be arranged on a carrier plate 10, and a movable support platform 30 located on the carrier plate 10 is arranged at the bottom of the frame, and the steel sheets are stacked in the frame. A limiting frame for limiting the frame carrying the stacked steel sheets can also be arranged on the carrier plate 10. The limiting frame includes four baffles 20 evenly distributed in the circumferential direction and arranged upright.

[0062] Furthermore, the position of the baffle plate 20 relative to the carrier plate 10 is adjustable. Specifically, a strip hole 20a is provided at the bottom of the baffle plate 20, and a plurality of bolt holes are provided on the carrier plate 10. Bolts are provided in the strip hole 20a, and the bolts are used to be threadedly connected with the bolt holes. Since the strip hole 20a is a strip hole, the strip hole can be matched with a plurality of bolt holes. When the size of the steel sheet changes, the baffle plate 20 can be separated from the carrier plate 10, and the position of the strip hole 20a can be adjusted to match the corresponding bolt hole, and then the bolts can be re-tightened to position the baffle plate 20.

[0063] The carrier plate 10 can be transported by the steel sheet transport assembly, and the steel sheet can be transported. When the steel sheet needs to be lifted, the lifting assembly 400 can lift the movable support platform 30, and the steel sheet can be lifted upward.

[0064] Specifically, the steel sheet can be conveyed to the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 by the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200, and the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 can convey the steel sheet to the target position to wait for loading. The steel sheet can be lifted to a certain height by the lifting assembly 300, and then the stacked steel sheets can be ejected one by one from the frame by the lifting assembly 400. The steel sheet detaching assembly 500 can keep the topmost steel sheet detached from the other steel sheets below, so as to avoid the lower steel sheets being taken out together when picking up the topmost steel sheet. The carrier conveying mechanism 600 can convey the carrier 40 with the PCB board to one side of the loading station. The steel sheet picking and placing mechanism 700 can pick up a steel sheet and install it on the PCB board on the carrier 40.

[0065] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 300 is disposed at the material receiving station, and the lifting assembly 300 is used to lift and lower the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200 .

[0066] Specifically, the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 is fixed at a certain height. After the steel sheet is conveyed to the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200, the lifting assembly 300 raises the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200 to a certain height, so that the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200 can convey the steel sheet to the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100. Then, the lifting assembly 300 lowers the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200 to reset, and the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200 can prepare to receive the steel sheet transported by the next carrier 10.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 can be a steel sheet flow channel. A first blocking member 150 is provided at the end of the conveying direction of the steel sheet flow channel to limit the conveying position of the carrier 10. A second blocking member 160 and a third blocking member 170 can be provided on both sides of the steel sheet flow channel, respectively, and the second blocking member 160 and the third blocking member are used to prevent the carrier 10 from moving upward. The second blocking member 160 includes a block and a cylinder for driving the block. The block extends to block the carrier 10.

[0068] The steel sheet flow channel can be composed of a first moving part and a second moving part. Each moving part includes a frame 110, on which a plurality of pulleys 130 and a belt 140 are mounted, wherein one pulley is connected to a driving motor 120. The pulley 130 is driven by the motor 120 to drive the belt 140 to operate.

[0069] In this embodiment, there are many implementations of the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200, for example: Figure 5 As shown, it may include an upper conveying assembly 210 and a lower conveying assembly 220 located below the upper conveying assembly 210 .

[0070] The lifting assembly 300 simultaneously lifts and lowers the upper conveying assembly 210 and the lower conveying assembly 220 , that is, the upper conveying assembly 210 and the lower conveying assembly 220 rise or fall synchronously.

[0071] In this way, the lower conveying assembly 220 can receive the steel sheet on the carrier 10, and after being lifted by the lifting assembly 300, the lower conveying assembly 220 can convey the steel sheet on the carrier 10 to the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100. Then, the lifting assembly 300 lowers the upper conveying assembly 210 and the lower conveying assembly 220 together to reset, and the lower conveying assembly 220 can be used to receive the steel sheet transported by the new carrier 10, and the upper conveying assembly 210 can be used to receive the carrier 10 and the empty frame on it that are reversely transported by the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100, and output the carrier 10 together with the empty frame in the reverse direction.

[0072] Specifically, the upper conveying assembly 210 and the lower conveying assembly 220 can be implemented by using existing conveying assemblies. For example, they can be flow channels. They can be composed of a first moving part and a second moving part. Each moving part includes a frame 211, and a plurality of pulleys 213 and belts 214 are installed on the frame 211, and one of the pulleys is connected to a driving motor 212.

[0073] In this embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned setting method, it can also be: the lifting component 300 is set at the loading station, the lifting component 300 is used to lift the first steel sheet conveying component 100, and the lifting component 400 is connected to the first steel sheet conveying component 100.

[0074] Specifically, the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200 conveys the steel sheet into the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100, and the lifting assembly 300 lifts the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 to a certain height. Then, the lifting assembly 400 can lift the stacked steel sheets out of the frame one by one.

[0075] Furthermore, on the basis of the above, a frame conveying assembly can be provided, that is, when the steel sheets in the frames on the carrier 10 on the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 are all used up, the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 can reversely convey the empty frames on the carrier 10 and the carrier 10 together into the frame conveying assembly, and the frame conveying assembly outputs the carrier 10 together with the empty frames. Then, the lifting assembly 300 can lower and reset the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100.

[0076] It is understandable that if the frame conveying assembly is not provided, the lifting assembly 300 can lower the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100, and the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 can output the carrier 10 together with the empty frame in reverse to the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200, and the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200 can continue to output the carrier 10 together with the empty frame in reverse. However, such an arrangement is not as efficient as the above-mentioned arrangement of the frame conveying assembly.

[0077] In this embodiment, the conveying direction of the steel sheet conveying assembly is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the carrier conveying mechanism 600 .

[0078] In this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the lifting assembly 300 includes a lifting motor 310, a lead screw assembly and a support frame 350, wherein the lifting motor 310 is connected to the lead screw assembly. The support frame 350 is connected to the lead screw assembly, and the lifting motor 310 drives the lead screw assembly to operate, thereby driving the support frame 350 to rise and fall.

[0079] Specifically, the support frame 350 is used to fix the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 or the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200. The lead screw assembly may include a lead screw 320 and a nut 330 connected to the lead screw 320, the lifting motor 310 is connected to the lead screw, and the support frame 350 is connected to the nut 330. The lead screw is driven to drive the nut 330 to move linearly.

[0080] Furthermore, the screw assembly may further include a plurality of guide rods 340 , and the support frame 350 may be slidably matched with the guide rods 340 .

[0081] It can be understood that the lifting assembly 300 can also use other types of lifting assemblies 300 to achieve the above-mentioned lifting function.

[0082] In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the lifting assembly 400 includes an electric cylinder assembly 410 and a lifting plate 430 that moves up and down and is driven by the electric cylinder assembly 410. Further, the lifting plate 430 can also be connected to a guide assembly 420 to ensure that the lifting plate 430 can be lifted and lowered smoothly.

[0083] In this embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the steel sheet separation assembly 500 includes an insert block 510 and an insert block driving cylinder 520, and the insert block 510 is wedge-shaped.

[0084] Specifically, multiple steel sheet separation assemblies 500 may be provided. For example, one may be provided on the left side of the steel sheet and one may be provided on the right side of the steel sheet. The insert block 510 is extended to the bottom of the topmost steel sheet by the insert block driving cylinder 520. In this way, the steel sheet below can be blocked from rising by multiple insert blocks 510. When picking up the topmost steel sheet, the steel sheet below can be blocked, so that one steel sheet can be picked up at a time.

[0085] It should be noted that the four corners of the bottom surface of the steel sheet are provided with supporting corners, and gaps are left between the steel sheets so that the insert block 510 can be inserted into the gaps.

[0086] Furthermore, a sensor 530 may be provided on one side of the steel sheet separation assembly 500 to detect whether a steel sheet is lifted. If a steel sheet is detected to be lifted, the insert block 510 extends into the gap to block the steel sheet below.

[0087] In this embodiment, Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, the carrier conveying mechanism 600 includes a carrier flow channel 610, a carrier 40 limiting assembly and a carrier 40 positioning assembly. The carrier 40 limiting assembly is arranged in the carrier flow channel 610, and is used to block and limit the carrier 40. The carrier 40 limiting assembly includes a limiting block 620 and a limiting block driving cylinder 630 for driving the limiting block 620 to rise and fall. The carrier 40 positioning assembly includes a support member 640 arranged below the carrier flow channel 610, a support member driving cylinder 650 for driving the support member 640 to rise and fall, and a plurality of blocks 660 arranged on the carrier flow channel 610. The support member 640 can apply an upward force to the carrier 40 so that the edge of the carrier 40 abuts against the block 660.

[0088] When in use, the carrier 40 is transported through the carrier flow channel 610. After being transported to the target position, the limit block 620 is raised, and the carrier 40 is blocked and limited by the limit block 620. Then, the support member 640 is raised to lift the carrier 40, and the upper surface of the carrier 40 contacts the stop block 660. In this way, the carrier 40 can be fixed. This facilitates the subsequent installation of the steel sheet on the PCB board on the carrier 40. When the steel sheet is installed, the support member 640 is lowered, the limit block 620 is lowered, and the carrier 40 can be transported to the next process.

[0089] In this embodiment, the carrier flow channel 610 is a width-adjustable flow channel, so that the flow channel can be adjusted in width according to carriers 40 of different widths to accommodate the transportation of carriers 40 of different widths.

[0090] Specifically, the flow channel includes a first moving part 680 and a second moving part 690 . The first moving part 680 is fixed on a frame, a screw mechanism 670 is disposed on the frame, and the second moving part 690 is connected to the screw mechanism 670 .

[0091] By driving the lead screw mechanism 670 , the second moving part 690 can be moved closer to or farther away from the first moving part 680 , thereby achieving a change in the flow channel width.

[0092] The first moving part 680 and the second moving part 690 can be implemented by using an existing belt conveying assembly. For example, the first moving part 680 and the second moving part 690 can include a frame, and a plurality of pulleys and belts are installed on the frame, wherein one pulley is connected to a driving motor.

[0093] Similarly, the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 and the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200 may also be arranged according to the above-mentioned flow channel, so that the widths of the first steel sheet conveying assembly 100 and the second steel sheet conveying assembly 200 are adjustable to accommodate carrier plates 10 of different widths.

[0094] In this embodiment, Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, the steel sheet picking and placing mechanism 700 includes a multi-axis robotic arm and a suction cup assembly 750 arranged on the multi-axis robotic arm.

[0095] In this embodiment, the multi-axis robot arm includes an X-axis driving mechanism 710, a Y-axis driving mechanism 720, a Z-axis driving mechanism 730, and a rotating mechanism 740. The Y-axis driving mechanism 720 is connected to the X-axis driving mechanism 710, the Z-axis driving mechanism 730 is connected to the Y-axis driving mechanism 720, and the rotating mechanism 740 is connected to the Z-axis driving mechanism 730. The X-axis and the Y-axis are two axes for horizontal movement, and the Z-axis is an axis for vertical movement. The rotating mechanism 740 can rotate the suction cup assembly 750.

[0096] Specifically, the X-axis drive mechanism 710, the Y-axis drive mechanism 720, the Z-axis drive mechanism 730 and the rotation mechanism 740 can all be implemented by using existing mechanisms. For example, the X-axis drive mechanism 710 and the Y-axis drive mechanism 720 can be linear drive mechanisms such as motor-driven lead screw mechanisms, and the Z-axis drive mechanism 730 can be a linear drive mechanism such as an electric cylinder mechanism. The rotation mechanism 740 can be a rotary cylinder mechanism.

[0097] Specifically, the suction cup assembly 750 includes a mounting frame 751, a suction cup head 753, a strip-shaped mounting hole 752 is provided on the mounting frame 751, and the suction cup head 753 is arranged in the strip-shaped mounting hole 752. In this arrangement, when the size of the steel sheet changes, the suction cup head 753 can be adjusted along the strip-shaped mounting hole 752 to adapt to steel sheets of different sizes.

[0098] Furthermore, a barcode scanner 754 is also provided on the mounting frame 751. The barcode scanner 754 is provided for product traceability. For example, when in use, a traceability code may be provided on each steel sheet. The traceability code may be scanned and recorded by the barcode scanner 754. In this way, the steel sheet on each product may be traced.

[0099] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0100] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
