[0052] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] The technical solutions disclosed in various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a bolt sorting system, and the disclosed bolt sorting system includes: a three-dimensional warehouse system, a temporary storage system, an accessory loading system, a tray loading system and a material tray conveying system.

[0055] Among them, the three-dimensional warehouse system includes a shelf 11 and an access robot 10, and the shelf 11 is provided with cells for placing bolts and bolt boxes 111; the temporary storage system includes a temporary storage table 20 and a sorting robot 21, and the access robot 10 is used to transfer the bolt boxes 111 between the shelf 11 and the temporary storage table 20.

[0056] The accessory loading system includes an accessory loading device 30, a material picking robot 31 and a tooling plate; the sorting robot 21 is used for transferring bolts between the temporary storage table 20 and the tooling plate, and the material picking robot 31 is used for transferring accessories between the accessory loading device 30 and the tooling plate.

[0057] The loading and unloading system includes a loading and unloading robot 41 and a loading and unloading operation table 50. The loading and unloading robot 41 is used to transfer bolts and accessories between the tooling plate and the loading and unloading operation table 50. The ingredient tray conveying system includes a loading conveyor line 80, an unloading and unloading robot 60 and a unloading conveyor line 70. The unloading and unloading robot 60 is used to transfer ingredient trays between the loading conveyor line 80, the loading and unloading operation table 50 and the unloading conveyor line 70.

[0058] In the process of bolt sorting, the bolt material box 111 can be transferred between the shelf 11 and the temporary storage table 20 by the storage and retrieval robot 10, so as to realize automatic material change in the sorting process, and the bolt material box 111 of the required model and specification can be transferred to the temporary storage table 20 for the sorting robot 21 to sort the bolts; the sorting robot 21 can place the sorted bolts in the holes of the tooling plate according to the specified posture, and the material taking robot 31 can be used to sort the bolts. The gaskets and / or nut accessories on the accessory feeding device can be assembled on the bolts or placed on the tooling plate, and the bolts, gaskets and / or nut accessories sorted out on the tooling plate can be transferred to the ingredient tray on the loading platform 50 by the loading robot 41, thereby realizing the automatic sorting and loading of the bolts, gaskets and / or nut accessories; the ingredient tray to be loaded on the loading conveyor line 80 can be transferred to the loading platform 50 by the loading and unloading robot 60, and the ingredient tray on the completed turntable 300 on the loading platform 50 can be transferred to the unloading conveyor line 70, thereby realizing the automatic loading and unloading of the ingredient tray.

[0059] Therefore, the bolt sorting system disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention realizes the automated operation of bolt sorting, which not only avoids the waste of human resources and reduces labor costs, but also saves time and labor, and is conducive to improving workshop production efficiency.

[0060] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, the shelves 11 can be arranged in an arc shape, and each shelf 11 can be provided with a plurality of cells for storing bolt boxes 111; the storage and retrieval robot 10 is rotatably arranged on the inner side of the arc surface where the shelf 11 is located, and can be rotated and moved along the arrangement direction of the shelf 11, so that the storage and retrieval robot 10 is moved along the arc track to the shelf 11 where the bolt box 111 to be accessed is located to complete the automated storage operation of the bolt box 111. Compared with the arrangement method of moving the storage and retrieval robot 10 along the track, it can not only make effective use of the warehouse space and save floor space, but also avoid the setting of components such as tracks, which is beneficial to reducing the structural complexity of the bolt sorting system.

[0061] Preferably, the shelves 11 are arranged in an arc shape, and the rotation center of the retrieval robot 10 is located at the center of the arc surface of the shelves 11, so that the rotation center of the retrieval robot 10 is basically the same from the access radius of each shelf 11; therefore, it can be avoided that the retrieval robot 10 needs to perform additional distance compensation adjustment when performing retrieval operations on different shelves 11 due to the different access radius of the rotation center of the retrieval robot 10 from each shelf 11, thereby effectively reducing the movement complexity and access difficulty of the retrieval robot 10.

[0062] like Figure 2 The cell can be provided with two opposite first support parts 110, and a spacing is provided between the two first support parts 110, so that the opposite sides of the bolt material box 111 can be respectively placed on the two first support parts 110, and then a gap is formed under the bolt material box 111 for the support arm 100 of the material picking fork mechanism to be inserted, so that it can be suitable for the storage and retrieval robot 10 with the executing end as the material picking fork structure.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, as a structure of the storage and retrieval robot 10, the storage and retrieval robot 10 may include a robot arm and a material picking fork mechanism; the material picking fork mechanism includes a supporting arm 100, one end of the supporting arm 100 is connected to the robot arm, the other end of the supported arm 100 is a free end away from the robot arm, and the width of the supporting arm 100 is less than the distance between the two first support parts 110.

[0064] When the storage and retrieval robot 10 is retrieving materials from the cells of the shelf 11, the support arm 100 can be inserted into the gap below the bolt material box 111, so as to realize the lifting and movement of the bolt material box 111; compared with the material retrieving method of clamping the bolt material box 111 by a clamping claw mechanism, it can not only better improve the stability of the storage and retrieval robot 10 in retrieving materials, but also make the storage and retrieval robot 10 have the advantages of simple structure and convenient inspection and maintenance.

[0065] In order to prevent the bolt material box 111 from sliding off the support arm 100, the material picking fork mechanism may further include a limiting portion; the limiting portion is arranged on the end surface of the execution end of the robot arm and is located above the support arm 100, and the limiting portion forms a limiting structure above both sides of the support arm 100; Figure 4 As shown, the limiting structure can play a limiting and blocking role on the upper sides of the bolt box 111 on the supporting arm 100 to prevent the bolt box 111 from sliding off the two sides of the supporting arm 100, thereby improving the stability and safety of the material fork mechanism lifting and moving the bolt box 111.

[0066] As a structure of a limiting part, it may include a mounting beam 102 and a wing plate 103; the mounting beam 102 is arranged along the extension direction of the support arm 100, and one end of the mounting beam 102 is connected to the end face of the execution end of the robot arm, and the other end of the mounting beam 102 is a free end; the wing plate 103 is arranged on the mounting beam 102, and the two ends of the wing plate 103 are respectively located on both sides of the mounting beam 102, and are bent toward the side where the support arm 100 is located to form a baffle structure, thereby the baffle structure plays a blocking and limiting role on the bolt box 111 on the support arm 100; wherein, the number of wing plates 103 can be adaptively adjusted according to the number of lifted and movable bolt boxes 111 on the support arm 100.

[0067] At the same time, in order to prevent the bolt material box 111 from sliding off the free end of the support arm 100 along the extension direction of the support arm 100, at least two protrusions 101 can be provided on the upper surface of the support arm 100, and the protrusions 101 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the support arm 100, so that the bolt material box 111 on the support arm 100 is located between two adjacent protrusions 101, and the protrusions 101 play a role of limiting and fixing the bolt material box 111, thereby effectively preventing the bolt material box 111 from sliding off along the extension direction of the support arm 100; wherein, the number of protrusions 101 provided can be determined according to the number of bolt material boxes 111 lifted and moved on the support arm 100.

[0068] It is easy to understand that the support arm 100 can be a plate-like structural member or a grid bar structural member arranged at intervals; the limiting portion can also be two strip guard plates directly connected to the end faces of the execution end of the robot arm, and the two strip guard plates are respectively located above the two sides of the support arm 100 and arranged along the extension direction of the support arm 100; the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the structure of the support arm 100 and the limiting portion.

[0069] In order to control the lifting action of the support arm 100 and confirm whether the material fork mechanism has completed the storage and retrieval of the bolt material box 111, a weighing sensor or a distance sensor can be set on the support arm 100, so as to monitor the lifting action of the support arm 100 and ensure the smooth storage of the bolt material box 111; for example, during the storage process of the bolt material box 111, if the weight of the load-bearing sensor decreases or the distance of the distance sensor changes, it means that the material box has been effectively placed on the fixed beam of the unit cell and the storage operation is completed; during the removal process of the bolt material box 111, if the weight of the load-bearing sensor increases or the distance of the distance sensor remains unchanged, it means that the bolt material box 111 has been effectively in contact with the support arm 100 and the removal operation can be carried out.

[0070] At the same time, an electronic tag can be set at a position adjacent to a cell of the shelf 11, and the execution end of the storage and retrieval robot 10 is provided with an electronic tag reader for identifying the electronic tag; thereby, the electronic tag at the corresponding cell is read and identified by the electrical tag reader, and information such as the position of the bolt material box 111 in the cell corresponding to the electronic tag and the size and model of the bolt accessories therein are obtained, so that the storage and retrieval robot 10 can move accurately and quickly to the required cell to perform storage and retrieval operations on the bolt material box 111.

[0071] The execution end of the access robot 10 can also be provided with a distance sensor, and the distance between the execution end of the access robot 10 and the shelf 11 can be monitored by the distance sensor; thus, the distance between the execution end of the access robot 10 and the shelf 11 can be monitored in real time by the distance sensor, so as to avoid the execution end of the access robot 10 from transitioning toward the shelf 11 and colliding with the shelf 11 or affecting the access of the bolt material box 111 due to insufficient moving distance; wherein, the distance sensor can be an infrared distance sensor or an ultrasonic distance sensor, etc.

[0072] In the temporary storage system disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the temporary storage table 20 may include a material table 200 and at least two second support portions 201 spaced apart on the material table 200, and two adjacent second support portions 201 are located at opposite positions, and a space for accommodating the support arm 100 is formed between the two adjacent support portions, so that the temporary storage table 20 is compatible with the support arm 100 of the above-mentioned material picking fork mechanism.

[0073] After the support arm 100 of the storage and retrieval robot 10 lifts the bolt material box 111 from the shelf 11 to the location of the material table 200, the fork support arm 100 can be placed between two adjacent second support parts 201, so that the bottom surface of the bolt material box 111 can be stably placed on the two adjacent second support parts 201 on both sides, which is convenient for the removal of the fork support arm 100 and ensures the smooth and stable completion of the unloading work.

[0074] At the same time, if Figure 5 As shown, in order to enable the material table 200 to move back and forth between the storage and retrieval robot 10 of the three-dimensional warehouse system and the sorting robot 21 of the temporary storage system, the temporary storage table 20 may also include a conveying mechanism; the material table 200 is arranged on the conveying mechanism, and the material table 200 can be driven by the conveying mechanism to move along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, thereby realizing the control of the reciprocating movement of the material table 200 through the conveying mechanism, which is convenient for the unloading of the storage and retrieval robot 10 and the sorting and picking of the sorting robot 21.

[0075] Among them, the conveying mechanism may include a feeding table 202 and a driving mechanism; the material table 200 is slidably set on the feeding table 202, and the material table 200 is connected to the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism can drive the material table 200 to reciprocate along the feeding direction of the conveying mechanism; thus, the driving mechanism can be used as a power source for the reciprocating movement of the material table 200, and the drive control of the reciprocating movement of the material table 200 on the feeding table 202 can be realized.

[0076] Specific as Figure 6 As shown, as a structure of a driving mechanism, it may include a first driving motor 203, a gear 204 and a rack 206; the rack 206 is arranged on the feeding table 202 and extends along the feeding direction of the conveying mechanism; the first driving motor 203 is arranged on the material table 200, the gear 204 is arranged on the output shaft of the first driving motor 203, and the gear 204 is meshed with the rack 206; wherein, the first driving motor 203 can be a stepping motor or a servo motor.

[0077] When the first drive motor 203 drives the gear 204 to rotate forward or reversely, the gear 204 can move the rack 206, so that the gear 204 moves forward or backward along the extension direction of the rack 206, thereby driving the material platform 200 to move back and forth along the extension direction of the rack 206, thereby realizing the control of the reciprocating movement of the material platform 200; and compared with conveying mechanisms such as conveyor belts, this driving mechanism also has the advantages of smooth and precise movement control.

[0078] Of course, the driving mechanism can also be a telescopic moving mechanism such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric rod, so as to control the material platform 200 to move back and forth on the feeding platform 202 through the telescopic movement of the telescopic moving mechanism; the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the type and structure of the conveying mechanism.

[0079] In order to better ensure the stability of the reciprocating movement of the material platform 200 along the feeding platform 202, a first guide rail 205 can be set on the feeding platform 202, and the first guide rail 205 extends along the feeding direction of the conveying mechanism; the material platform 200 is provided with a first slider 207, and the first slider 207 is provided with a slide groove adapted to the first guide rail 205, and the first slider 207 is mounted on the first guide rail 205 through the slide groove, and slides with the first guide rail 205 along the extension direction of the first guide rail 205, so that the first guide rail 205 can guide the reciprocating movement of the material platform 200, thereby avoiding the material platform 200 from deflecting during the reciprocating movement of the material platform 200 along the feeding platform 202, thereby improving the stability of the reciprocating movement of the material platform 200.

[0080] In the accessory loading system disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the accessory loading device 30 may include a rotating mechanism and a string rod 301. The string rod 301 is eccentrically arranged on the rotating mechanism, and one end of the string rod 301 is connected to the rotating mechanism, and the other end of the string rod 301 is away from the rotating mechanism to form a free end. The rotating mechanism can rotate to control the string rod 301 to move to the material picking area of ​​the material picking robot 31.

[0081] Therefore, multiple gaskets or nut accessories can be strung on the string rod 301, and the string rod 301 can be rotated and switched to the picking area of ​​the material picking robot 31 by rotating the rotating mechanism, so that the material picking robot 31 can pick up the gaskets or nut accessories on the string rod 301 one by one from top to bottom according to their height position, thereby not only reducing the footprint of the accessory loading device 30, but also helping to improve the loading efficiency of the accessory loading device 30.

[0102] After the ingredient tray 90 is placed on the table 500 of the plating operation table 50, the telescopic drive mechanism 501 arranged on the table 500 can drive the pushing portion 502 to move toward the limiting portion, and then the ingredient tray 90 placed on the table 500 is pushed to the position abutting against the limiting portion by the pushing portion 502, thereby realizing the position correction of the ingredient tray 90, so that the position of the ingredient tray 90 is basically the same each time, so that the plating robot 41 can well place the bolts, gaskets and nut accessories in a fixed position in the ingredient tray 90 in a fixed posture, thereby ensuring the plating operation effect of the plating robot 41; after the plating robot 41 completes the plating operation, the telescopic drive mechanism 501 can drive the pushing portion 502 to move away from the limiting portion, so that the pushing portion 502 is reset, so as to facilitate the next operation of the positioning device.

[0103] Among them, the number of positioning devices can be two groups, and the setting directions of the limit parts of the two groups of positioning devices intersect, so that the position of the ingredient tray 90 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction on the table 500 can be adjusted respectively by the two groups of positioning devices, so that the position correction of the ingredient tray 90 is more accurate.

[0104] At the same time, one of the two groups of positioning devices can also include a guiding mechanism, which is arranged on the table 500, and the pushing part 502 of this group of positioning devices is connected to the guiding mechanism and moves along the guiding direction of the guiding mechanism, so that the guiding mechanism can guide the movement of the pushing part 502, which is conducive to the smooth movement of the pushing part 502.

[0108] At the same time, the window 507 provided on the top plate 506 can not only make part of the ingredient tray 90 located in the cavity of the box body to interact with the positioning device, but also the window 507 can play a role in preliminary positioning of the ingredient tray 90 placed on the table 500.

[0109] Typically, the ingredient tray 90 includes a tray body and a bracket; therefore, in order to allow the supporting legs of the bracket to be placed in the cavity of the box body and interact with the positioning device, the number of windows 507 provided on the top plate 506 can correspond to the number of supporting legs; and, in order to be suitable for supporting legs of ingredient trays 90 of different sizes, windows 507 can also be opened at different positions of supporting legs of different ingredient trays 90; the annular side panels 505 are distributed in a ring shape along the four-axis edges of the table top 500, and can be in the shape of a square ring or a circular ring, etc.

[0110] Of course, if the ingredient tray 90 only includes a tray body, a window 507 for the tray body to move can be opened on the top plate 506; the pushing portion 502 can be a plate-like structure or a rod-like structure arranged along the extension direction of the limiting portion; the limiting portion can also be a baffle or block structure separately arranged on the table 500; the telescopic driving mechanism 501 can be a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod, etc.

[0112] During the loading process of the ingredient tray 90, the moving mechanism moves along the track to the position of the loading conveyor line 80, so that the clamping mechanism is located above the ingredient tray 90 stacked on the loading conveyor line 80, and then the clamping mechanism is lowered to the height position of the ingredient tray 90 by the lifting mechanism, and the ingredient tray 90 is grabbed by the clamping mechanism; then, the lifting mechanism raises the clamping mechanism, and then moves it along the track to above the loading platform 50 by the moving mechanism, and the clamping mechanism is lowered to the position where the ingredient tray 90 is placed on the loading platform 50 by the lifting mechanism, and the clamping mechanism releases the ingredient tray 90 to complete the loading.

[0113] During the unloading process of the ingredient tray 90, the lifting mechanism lowers the clamping mechanism to the position of the ingredient tray 90 on the loading platform 50, grabs the ingredient tray 90 through the clamping mechanism, and then raises the clamping mechanism through the lifting mechanism; then, it moves along the track to the position of the unloading conveyor line 70 through the moving mechanism, so that the ingredient tray 90 is located above the unloading conveyor line 70, and then the lifting mechanism lowers the clamping mechanism to the discharge height, and the clamping mechanism releases the ingredient tray 90 to complete the unloading.

[0114] During the loading and unloading process of the ingredient trays 90, if a stack of ingredient trays 90 on the loading conveyor line 80 is emptied, the loading conveyor line 80 will work to convey the next stack of ingredient trays 90 to the material picking area of ​​the loading and unloading robot 60 for the loading and unloading robot 60 to continuously pick up materials; if a stack of ingredient trays 90 is fully stacked on the unloading conveyor, the unloading conveyor will work to move the full stack of ingredient trays 90 away to leave space for the loading and unloading robot 60 to stack.

[0115] In order to facilitate the setting of the loading and unloading robot 60, the disclosed ingredient tray 90 conveying system can also include a gantry, and the track is set on the gantry, so that the gantry can not only provide an installation bearing foundation for the setting of the track, but also avoid the track from forming a cantilever structure, which is beneficial to improving the working stability of the loading and unloading robot 60.

[0116] As a structure of the clamping mechanism, such as Fig.16 As shown, it may include a second base 600, a first clamping portion 601, a second clamping portion 602 and a driving mechanism 603; the first clamping portion 601 and the second clamping portion 602 are slidably arranged on the second base 600, and the first clamping portion 601 and the second clamping portion 602 are respectively connected to the driving mechanism 603, and the first clamping portion 601 and the second clamping portion 602 can be driven by the driving mechanism 603 to move toward / backward, thereby realizing the clamping and fixing and the loosening and unloading actions of the first clamping portion 601 and the second clamping portion 602.

[0117] It is easy to understand that the driving mechanism 603 can be a mobile driving mechanism 603 such as a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod connected to the first clamping part 601 and the second clamping part 602; the moving mechanism can be a mounting seat structure driven by a cylinder or a driving motor to move along the track, and the mounting seat is arranged on the track, and the lifting mechanism is installed on the sliding seat; the loading conveyor line 80 and the unloading conveyor line 70 can be belt or chain plate conveyors; the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the type and structure of the driving mechanism 603, the moving mechanism and the loading conveyor line 80 and the unloading conveyor line 70.

[0119] When the first image acquisition element 208 is working, the collected image data of the bolt material box 111 on the temporary storage table 20 can be transmitted to the processor. The processor converts the image data into position information containing the angle and position coordinates of the bolts in the bolt material box 111 based on the received image data of the first image acquisition element 208 through the visual processing algorithm program built into the processor, and then the processor controls the sorting robot 21 to move to the grasping position to grasp the corresponding bolts according to the position information, thereby improving the grasping accuracy and work efficiency of the sorting robot 21; wherein, the first image acquisition element 208 can be set on the corresponding bracket, and can also be set on the sorting robot 21.

[0121] When the second image acquisition element is working, it can collect image data of the string rod 301 of the accessory loading device 30 and transmit the collected image data to the processor; then, the processor identifies the position information of the gasket or nut accessory located at the top of the string rod 301 according to the received image data, and controls the material picking robot 31 to move accurately to the position of the gasket or nut accessory according to the position information, and then removes the gasket or nut accessory from the free end of the string rod 301 through the material picking robot 31, thereby improving the flexibility and accuracy of the material picking work of the material picking robot 31; wherein, the second image acquisition element can be set on the corresponding bracket, or it can be set on the material picking robot 31.

[0122] The control system may also include a third image acquisition element 604; the third image acquisition element 604 is arranged on the loading and unloading robot 60 and is connected to the data input end of the processor; thereby, through the third image acquisition element 604 arranged on the loading and unloading robot 60, the image data of the ingredient tray 90 can be collected during the process of the loading and unloading robot 60 grabbing the ingredient tray 90, and the processor can obtain information such as the model and position of the ingredient tray 90 based on the image data collected by the image acquisition element.

[0123] Among them, the control output end of the processor can be connected to the plating robot 41, so that the processor can accurately control the plating action of the plating robot 41 according to the acquired information, so that the plating robot 41 can be accurately moved to the position of the ingredient tray 90.

[0124] Alternatively, the control output end of the processor can also be connected to the telescopic drive mechanism 501 of the positioning device; if the position of the ingredient tray 90 on the loading platform 50 is skewed, the processor can control the positioning device to correct the position of the ingredient tray 90, thereby correcting the position of the ingredient tray 90.

[0125] Therefore, the loading operation of the loading robot 41 is guaranteed, so that the loading robot 41 can well place the bolts, gaskets and nut accessories in a fixed position in the ingredient tray 90 in a fixed posture; and after the loading robot 41 completes the loading operation, the third image acquisition element 604 can be used to collect image data of the ingredient tray 90 on the loading workbench 50 again, thereby achieving the purpose of re-inspection and confirming whether the ingredient tray 90 is correctly loaded.

[0126] Specifically, Fig.16 As shown, the third image acquisition element 604 is arranged on the second base 600 and faces the side where the first clamping portion 601 and the second clamping portion 602 are located, so that the third image acquisition element 604 can move with the clamping mechanism and maintain a state facing the ingredient tray 90, which is beneficial to the image acquisition work of the third image acquisition element 604.

[0127] It is easy to understand that the first image acquisition element 208, the second image acquisition element and the third image acquisition element 604 can be 2D cameras, 3D cameras or cameras, etc.; at the same time, the processors of the first image acquisition element 208, the second image acquisition element and the third image acquisition element 604 can be three separately set processors, or can be one integrated processor.
