The card tray 50 is further provided with a card slot 56 connecting the two main surfaces 52 .

[0051] The tray processing equipment 100 generally includes a discharging mechanism 10 , a loading mechanism 20 , a clamping mechanism 30 and a processing mechanism 40 .

[0052] The discharge mechanism 10 is used to arrange a plurality of card trays 50 so that the main surface 52 of the arranged card trays 50 faces a predetermined direction, so as to be easily obtained by the feeding mechanism 20. The feeding mechanism 20 is used to be inserted into the card slot 56 of the card tray 50 arranged by the discharge mechanism 10, and is opened to abut against the two side walls of the card slot 56 opposite to each other, so as to pick up and transfer the card tray 50.

[0054] See also Figures 3 to 5 The discharging mechanism 10 includes a positioning seat 11 , a material dividing member 12 , a vibration plate 13 and a first driving member 14 .

[0055] The positioning seat 11 includes two guide walls 110 spaced apart from each other, and a guide groove 112 is formed between the two guide walls 110. A feed groove 114 is provided on the guide wall 110, and the feed groove 114 communicates with the guide groove 112 and the outer side of the guide wall 110 away from the guide groove 112. The material dividing member 12 is arranged in the guide groove 112, and the material dividing member 12 has a first positioning groove 120, and the first positioning groove 120 can be aligned with the feed groove 114. The vibration plate 13 is used to carry a plurality of card trays 50 and send the plurality of card trays 50 into the first positioning groove 120 in sequence through the feed groove 114. The first driving member 14 is connected to one side of the material dividing member 12, and is used to drive the material dividing member 12 to push the card tray 50 in the first positioning groove 120 to move in the guide groove 112.

[0056] The first driving member 14 may be a cylinder or a motor. For example, the motor may drive the material dividing member 12 to move in the guide groove 112 through a transmission mechanism such as a screw assembly. A guide rail may also be provided in the guide groove 112. The material dividing member 12 is connected to a slider, and the slider is slidably connected to the guide rail, so that the first driving member 14 drives the material dividing member 12 to slide in the guide groove 112 along the guide rail.

[0057] Specifically, the first driving member 14 drives the material dividing member 12 so that the first positioning groove 120 is aligned with the feeding groove 114, and at this time the other side of the first positioning groove 120 is blocked by the guide wall 110, and the vibration plate 13 sends the tray 50 into the first positioning groove 120 through the feeding groove 114, so that the main surface 52 of the tray 50 is arranged in a predetermined direction, and then the first driving member 14 drives the material dividing member 12 to move in the guide groove 112, and the first positioning groove 120 is misaligned with the feeding groove 114, and the material dividing member 12 sends the carried tray 50 to the set position for the loading mechanism 20 to pick up, and after the loading mechanism 20 picks up the tray 50, the first driving member 14 drives the material dividing member 12 back to the first positioning groove 120 and the feed groove 114.

[0058] In this embodiment, the dividing member 12 has a first positioning groove 120. In other embodiments, the dividing member 12 may also have a plurality of first positioning grooves 120, such as two or three first positioning grooves 120, and the plurality of first positioning grooves 120 are sequentially spaced and distributed on the dividing member 12 along the sliding direction of the dividing member 12, so that the dividing member 12 can arrange a plurality of trays 50.

[0059] The material dividing member 12 also has an avoidance groove 122, which is arranged on the side of the material dividing member 12 away from the first driving member 14 and communicates with the first positioning groove 120. When the card tray 50 is located in the first positioning groove 120, the card tray 50 can be exposed from the avoidance groove 122. The material dividing member 12 delivers the card tray 50 to the set position, and the feeding mechanism 20 can extend into the card tray 56 of the card tray 50 through the avoidance groove 122, and open to abut against the two side walls of the card tray 56 opposite to each other, and then pick up the card tray 50 and move the card tray 50 out of the first positioning groove 120, wherein the avoidance groove 122 is used to form an avoidance position during the process of the feeding mechanism 20 opening and picking up.

[0060] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 The feeding mechanism 20 generally includes two clamping jaws 21 , a second driving member 22 , a transport component 23 and a third driving member 24 .

[0061] A second positioning groove 210 is formed on one side of the two clamping jaws 21 facing away from each other. The two second positioning grooves 210 are used to engage with two side walls of the clamping groove 56 that are opposite to each other.

[0062] The driving end of the second driving member 22 is connected to the two clamping jaws 21 , and the second driving member 22 is used to drive the two clamping jaws 21 to move away from each other, so that the second positioning groove 210 is engaged with the two opposite side walls of the clamping groove 56 of the card tray 50 .

[0063] The second driving member 22 may be a clamping cylinder, which is used to drive the two clamping jaws 21 to move toward and away from each other. Alternatively, the second driving member includes two telescopic cylinders arranged at intervals, each of which is connected to a clamping jaw 21, and cooperates with each other to move away from each other to pick up the card tray 50 and move toward each other to release the card tray 50.

[0064] After the second driving member 22 drives the two clamping claws 21 to pick up the card tray 50 , the transport assembly 23 transports the picked-up card tray 50 to the clamping mechanism 30 .

[0065] For example, the second driving member 22 is connected to the transport assembly 23 via a connecting plate, so that the transport assembly 23 can transport the second driving member 22 together with the tray 50 to the clamping mechanism 30 .

[0066] The conveying assembly 23 may include a motor, a guide rail, a slider and a belt, the slider and the guide rail are slidably arranged, the motor drives the slider to slide along the guide rail through the belt, and the connecting plate is fixed to the slider. The conveying assembly 23 may also be composed of other components, as long as the conveying assembly 23 can complete the conveying, the application does not limit its specific structure.

[0067] In this embodiment, the third driving member 24 is connected to the second driving member 22 , and the third driving member 24 is used to drive the second driving member 22 to move in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction of the transport assembly 23 to move the card tray 50 out of the first positioning slot 120 .

[0068] Further, the feeding mechanism 20 further includes a lifting drive member 25, which is connected to the transport assembly 23 and is used to drive the third drive member 24 to lift and lower to avoid the discharge mechanism 10. The lifting drive member 25 can be a telescopic cylinder, or the lifting drive member 25 is composed of a motor, a belt and a guide rail slider.

[0069] In this embodiment, the orientation of the main surface 52 of the arranged tray 50 is the same as the transport direction of the transport component 23, and the first driving member 14 drives the dividing member 12 in a direction away from the clamping mechanism 30 to send the carried tray 50 to the set position, and the transport component 23 drives the clamping jaw 21 to move toward the discharge mechanism 10 and the lifting driving member 25 drives the clamping jaw 21 to rise to avoid the dividing member 12, and then the clamping jaw 21 descends and aligns with the avoidance groove 122, and the transport component 23 drives the clamping jaw 21 to insert into the card slot 56, and the second driving member 22 drives the two clamping jaws 21 to move away from each other, so that the second positioning groove 210 is engaged with the two side walls of the card slot 56 opposite to each other, and the third driving member 24 drives the second driving member 22 to move in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction and the lifting direction to move the tray 50 out of the first positioning groove 120, and then carries the tray 50 through the dividing member 12 and moves toward the clamping mechanism 30.

[0070] In other embodiments, the orientation of the main surface 52 of the arranged card tray 50 may be different from the transport direction of the transport assembly 23. For example, if the orientation of the main surface 52 of the arranged card tray 50 is perpendicular to the transport direction of the transport assembly 23, the feeding mechanism 20 may be provided with a corresponding driving member to facilitate picking up the card tray 50, and the present application does not limit this.

[0071] See also Figures 8 to 10 The clamping mechanism 30 generally includes a base 31 , a collet 32 ​​, a pressing sleeve 33 and a fourth driving member 34 .

[0072] The base 31 is used to support and fix the collet 32 ​​and the fourth driving member 34, and the collet 32 ​​and the fourth driving member 34 are respectively located on both sides of the base 31. The collet 32 ​​is fixed to the base 31, and the collet 32 ​​includes a tapered cylinder wall 320, and the tapered cylinder wall 320 is divided into at least two clamping parts 322 along the axial direction. The pressing sleeve 33 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the tapered cylinder wall 320. The fourth driving member 34 is connected to the pressing sleeve 33, and the fourth driving member 34 is used to drive the pressing sleeve 33 to squeeze the tapered cylinder wall 320, so that the clamping parts 322 are closed together, and then the card tray 50 is fixed from the two opposite side surfaces 54 of the card tray 50. After the clamping mechanism 30 clamps the card tray 50, the feeding mechanism 20 releases the card tray 50.

[0073] The conical cylinder wall 320 can be divided into two clamping parts 322 along the axial direction, or divided into three or four clamping parts 322. A card slot is formed on the side of the multiple clamping parts 322 away from the base 31. The shape of the card slot is adapted to the shape and contour of the card holder 50, and the card slot shrinks to fix the card holder 50 when the clamping parts 322 are closed together. When the pressing sleeve 33 is separated from the conical cylinder wall 320, the clamping parts 322 open to each other, and the card slot expands to release the card holder 50. The fourth driving member 34 can be a cylinder or an electric cylinder, which drives the pressing sleeve to move along the axial direction of the collet 32, so that the pressing sleeve 33 can be squeezed and separated from the conical cylinder wall 320.

[0074] The clamping mechanism 30 further includes a push rod 35, a guide shaft 36 and a connecting plate 37. The base 31 is provided with a first through hole 310 and a second through hole 312, the first through hole 310 is connected to the collet 32, the push rod 35 is passed through the first through hole 310 and extends into the cavity of the tapered cylinder wall 320, the guide shaft 36 is passed through the second through hole 312, and one end of the guide shaft 36 is connected to the pressing sleeve 33, and one side of the connecting plate 37 is connected to the push rod 35 and the other end of the guide shaft 36 at the same time.

[0075] The fourth driving member 34 is connected to the other side of the connecting plate 37 , and is also used to drive the push rod 35 to push against the inner circumference of the conical cylinder wall 320 , thereby making the clamping parts 322 open to each other to release the tray 50 .

[0076] Specifically, the fourth driving member 34 drives the pressing sleeve 33 to squeeze the conical cylinder wall 320, and at the same time the push rod 35 is separated from the inner circumference of the conical cylinder wall 320, and the clamping parts 322 are closed together to clamp the side surface 54 of the tray 50; the fourth driving member 34 drives the pressing sleeve 33 to separate from the conical cylinder wall 320, and at the same time the push rod 35 is pressed against the inner circumference of the conical cylinder wall 320, and the clamping parts 322 are opened together to release the tray 50.

[0077] Furthermore, the push rod 35 has an air flow channel 350, which is aligned with the tray 50. The tray processing equipment 100 also includes an air pressure generating device, which is connected to the air flow channel 350. When the clamping part 322 releases the tray 50, the air flow generated by the air pressure generating device blows the tray 50 away from the clamping mechanism 30 through the air flow channel 350, thereby facilitating the unloading of the processed tray 50 into the material box below the collet 32.

[0078] The clamping mechanism 30 further includes a pressing member 38 connected to the pressing sleeve 33 . The pressing member 38 presses the main surface 52 of the card holder 50 from the side of the card holder 50 away from the collet 32 ​​as the pressing sleeve 33 presses the outer periphery of the tapered cylinder wall 320 .

[0079] Both sides of the collet 32 ​​are connected with holding pieces 38 , and the two holding pieces 38 are arranged at intervals, so that the feeding mechanism 20 can put the card holder 50 into the clamping part 322 and be clamped by the clamping part 322 .

[0080] The clamping mechanism 30 is arranged between the discharge mechanism 10 and the processing mechanism 40. The clamping mechanism 30 also includes a rotating component 39, which is connected to the base 31 and is used to transfer the tray 50 from the side facing the discharge mechanism 10 when clamped to the side facing the processing mechanism 40, so that the processing mechanism 40 can process the tray 50.

[0081] The rotating assembly 39 may include a motor and a turntable, and the base 31 is arranged on the turntable. The motor drives the turntable to rotate so as to transfer the tray 50 conveyed by the loading mechanism 20 from being clamped toward the discharge mechanism 10 to being transferred toward the processing mechanism 40 to facilitate processing by the processing mechanism 40.

[0082] See also Fig.11 The processing mechanism 50 includes a fixed seat 51, a first processing piece 52 and a second processing piece 53. The fixed seat 51 includes a first mounting portion 510 and a second mounting portion 512 that are perpendicular to each other. The first processing piece 52 is disposed on the first mounting portion 510, and the second processing piece 53 is disposed on the second mounting portion 512. The first processing piece 52 is used to process the card tray 50 from a first direction, and the second processing piece 53 is used to process the card tray 50 from a second direction.
