[0057] The above-mentioned means for solving the problem are merely examples and should not be interpreted as limiting the intention of the present invention. In addition to the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, there may be other embodiments in the drawings and detailed description of the invention.

[0058] Effects of the Invention

[0059] According to the problem-solving means of the present invention, since the conversion kit can be installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure by vacuum adsorption of the negative pressure transfer plate structure, the fixation and release of the conversion kit and the negative pressure transfer plate structure can be automatically completed by whether the vacuum adsorption formation is set. Therefore, if the fixation is automatically released, the picking module vacuum adsorbs the conversion kit and separates and transfers it from the negative pressure transfer plate structure, thereby automatically removing the pre-configured conversion kit. When the picking module transfers a new conversion kit for placement, the negative pressure transfer plate structure performs vacuum adsorption and can automatically fix the position. Therefore, the automatic configuration and fixation of the new conversion kit can be completed.

[0060] In addition, the first picking module, the second picking module and the third picking module transmit the conversion kit in a relay manner, so that the conversion kit can be installed in the order of the vision table, the third picking module, the drying device, the second picking module and the packaging cutting device. Therefore, even if the conversion kits of the vision table, the third picking module, the drying device, the second picking module and the packaging cutting device are different types from each other, the conversion kit can be effectively placed.

[0061] In addition, when the conversion kit and the negative pressure transfer plate structure are fixed to each other by vacuum adsorption, when the vacuum adsorption is interrupted due to an unexpected problem, the fixation of the conversion kit and the negative pressure transfer plate structure is released and the conversion kit may be separated from the negative pressure transfer plate structure. According to the problem-solving means of the present invention, since the pickup module is provided with a coupling part, the conversion kit and the negative pressure transfer plate structure can also be physically fixed by the coupling part. Therefore, even if the vacuum adsorption is interrupted, the conversion kit can be prevented from being separated from the negative pressure transfer plate structure, thereby preventing the conversion kit from being damaged.

[0062] In addition, by automatically replacing the conversion kit, the replacement speed of the conversion kit can be increased, and the overall yield of the packaging manufacturing device can be improved, and the completion rate of the conversion kit replacement work can be improved.

[0063] In addition, when the conversion kit and the negative pressure transfer plate structure are fixed to each other by vacuum adsorption, when the vacuum adsorption is interrupted due to an unexpected problem, the fixation of the conversion kit and the negative pressure transfer plate structure is released and the conversion kit may be separated from the negative pressure transfer plate structure. According to the problem-solving means of the present invention described above, the clamp physically clamps the conversion kit and when it approaches the cylinder or the adjacent adsorption module in the Z-axis direction, the clamping of the clamp is released by the protrusion of the adjacent adsorption module. Therefore, even when the vacuum adsorption is interrupted, the conversion kit can be prevented from accidentally falling off from the negative pressure transfer plate structure. If necessary, the clamping can be easily released, so that the conversion kit can be removed.

[0064] In addition, according to the problem-solving means of the present invention, since the conversion kit is fixed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure after being clamped by the clamp, it is possible to prevent the conversion kit from being tilted, detached or moved on the negative pressure transmission plate structure when air blowing is supplied to the inside of the vacuum hole of the conversion kit.

[0065] In addition, since the conversion kit is physically clamped by the clamp, even if the size of the conversion kit becomes smaller, or the part of the conversion kit that is vacuum adsorbed (the frame part) becomes smaller, or the size of the conversion kit is minimized to be as close to the size of the strip as possible, the binding force of the conversion kit to the negative pressure transfer plate structure can be increased.

[0100] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 may include a workbench module 11. For example, the package cutting device 1 may include two workbench modules 11, the drying device 2 may include two workbench modules 11, and the visual table 3 may include two workbench modules 11. Strips or packages may be placed on the workbench modules 11. For example, strips may be placed on the workbench module 11 of the package cutting device 1, and packages may be placed on the workbench modules 11 of the drying device 2 and the visual table 3. More specifically, the first picking module 41 may obtain the strips from the loading and unloading device 5 and place them on the workbench module 11 of the package cutting device 1, the strips may be cut by a blade in a state of being placed on the workbench module 11 of the cutting device 1, a plurality of packages formed by cutting may be transferred by the second picking module 41 and loaded on the workbench module 11 of the drying device 2 (a washing process may be performed during the transfer process), and the dried packages may be vacuum clamped by the third picking module 43 and placed on the workbench module 11 of the visual table 3.

[0101] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the workbench module 11 may include a conversion kit 111 having a plurality of vacuum holes 1111 formed in the Z-axis direction. The strip or package placed on the workbench module 11 may be placed on the conversion kit 111. For example, the conversion kit 111 may include a first plate 111a1 and a second plate 111a2, and the vacuum hole 1111 may include: a first tube portion 11111, formed by penetrating the first plate 111a1 in the Z-axis direction; and a second tube portion 11112, extending from the first tube portion 11111, and penetrating the second plate 111a2 in the Z-axis direction. For reference, in the description of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 4, the direction setting related to the one side in the Z-axis direction and the other side in the Z-axis direction of the conversion kit 111 of the present invention can be, based on the space between the first plate 111a1 and the second plate 111a2 of the conversion kit 111, the direction toward the first plate 111a1 is set as the other side in the Z-axis direction, and the direction toward the second plate 111a2 is set as one side in the Z-axis direction. Thus, one side in the Z-axis direction of the conversion kit 111 can refer to the side where the second tube 11112 is formed, and the other side in the Z-axis direction of the conversion kit 111 can refer to the side where the first tube 11111 is formed (the side in contact with the strip or package when clamping the strip or package).

[0102] In addition, refer to Figures 3 to 5 The workbench module 11 may include a negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a (hereinafter, the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a of the workbench module 11 is referred to as "negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a for the workbench"). The negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a for the workbench may adsorb the conversion kit 111, connecting the negative pressure generator and multiple vacuum holes 1111 of the conversion kit 111.

[0103] In addition, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A conversion kit 111 may be disposed on the other side of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench in the Z-axis direction, and the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench may be connected to the negative pressure generator (not shown) located on the lower side (one side in the Z-axis direction) of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench and the vacuum hole 1111. For example, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench may include a product recessed portion 1121a for the workbench, and the product recessed portion 1121a for the workbench is formed by a portion of the conversion kit 111 where a plurality of vacuum holes 1111 are formed, which is recessed toward one side in the Z-axis direction. The product recessed portion 1121a for the workbench can transmit the negative pressure effect and the release of the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure generator to the vacuum hole 1111. Specifically, although not specifically shown in the figure, the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench may include a connecting port connecting the product recessed portion 1121a for the workbench and the negative pressure generator. When the negative pressure generator inhales gas (generates negative pressure), the gas in the product recessed portion 1121a for the workbench flows into the negative pressure generator side, thereby, the gas in the vacuum hole 1111 flows into the negative pressure generator side through the product recessed portion 1121a for the workbench, thereby forming a negative pressure in the vacuum hole 1111 and adsorbing the package or strip placed on the conversion kit 111. In addition, if the negative pressure generator stops generating negative pressure, the generation of negative pressure in the vacuum hole 1111 connected to the negative pressure generator through the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a of the workbench is interrupted, thereby interrupting the adsorption of the vacuum hole 1111.

[0104] In addition, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench may include a recessed portion 1122a for the workbench kit, wherein the recessed portion 1122a for the workbench kit is a portion that is opposite to at least a portion of the edge portion of the conversion kit 111 and is recessed toward one side in the Z-axis direction, thereby completing the vacuum adsorption of the conversion kit 111. Although not shown in detail, the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench may include a connecting port that connects the recessed portion 1122a for the workbench kit and the negative pressure generator. When the negative pressure generator generates negative pressure, the gas in the recessed portion 1122a for the workbench kit flows into the negative pressure generator side and forms a negative pressure in the recessed portion 1122a for the workbench kit, so that the recessed portion 1122a for the workbench kit can be in a state that can adsorb the lower side of the edge portion of the conversion kit 111. In addition, if the negative pressure generator interrupts the generation of negative pressure (releases), the generation of negative pressure in the recessed portion 1122a for the workbench kit is released, and the adsorption can be interrupted.

[0105] Thus, when the workbench negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a vacuum absorbs the conversion kit 111, the conversion kit 111 can be fixed on the workbench negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a. In addition, when the vacuum absorption of the conversion kit 111 by the workbench negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a is released, the conversion kit 111 can be removed from the workbench negative pressure transmission plate structure.

[0106] The workbench kit recess 1122a may have a length direction ( Figure 5 The cross-section is a long hole shaped cross-section formed by extending the X-axis direction).

[0107] In addition, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the first to third pickup modules 41, 42, 43 may each include a negative pressure transfer plate structure on which a conversion kit 111 is installed (hereinafter, the negative pressure transfer plate structure of the first to third pickup modules 41, 42, 43 is referred to as "negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for pickup"). The conversion kit 111 is vacuum-adsorbed by the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for pickup, and the conversion kit 111 can be installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for pickup. Thus, the conversion kit 111 can be installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for pickup in the Z-axis direction. Figure 7 Install conversion kit 111 on the lower side of the housing.

[0108] Specifically, refer to Figure 8The pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b may include a pickup product recessed portion 1121b, wherein at least a portion of the portion opposite to the portion of the conversion kit 111 where the plurality of vacuum holes 1111 are formed is recessed toward the other side in the Z-axis direction, so as to transmit the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure generator and the release of the negative pressure to the vacuum holes 1111. Although not shown in detail, the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b may include a communication port connecting the pickup product recessed portion 1121b and the negative pressure generator. Thus, the conversion kit 111 is mounted on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the pickup so that one side of the conversion kit 111 in the Z-axis direction is opposite to one side of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the pickup (formal installation), and the conversion kit 111 can be vacuum-adsorbed and packaged by the pickup product recess 1121b of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the pickup and the vacuum hole 1111. The contents related to the communication port, the pickup product recess 1121b, etc. correspond to the contents observed in the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench, and therefore, detailed description is omitted. In addition, for reference, when the conversion kit 111 to be mounted on the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b is provided to the pickup module, the pickup module may provide the conversion kit 111 configured so that one side of the conversion kit 111 in the Z-axis direction faces the other side of the conversion kit 111 in the Z-axis direction, so that the conversion kit 111 is formally installed so that one side of the conversion kit 111 in the Z-axis direction faces one side of the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b in the Z-axis direction, and the conversion kit 111 is vacuum-adsorbed by the pickup kit recess 1122b. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the conversion kit 111 mounted on the pickup module may be accommodated in a cartridge with one side of the conversion kit 111 in the Z-axis direction facing upward, and taken out of the cartridge.

[0109] In addition, the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b may include a pickup kit recessed portion 1122b, which is a portion opposite to the edge portion of the conversion kit 111 and is recessed toward the other side of the Z-axis direction, thereby completing the adsorption of the conversion kit 111. In addition, the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b may include a connecting port connecting the pickup kit recessed portion 1122b and the negative pressure generator. The functions of the connecting port and the pickup kit recessed portion 1122b correspond to the contents observed in the workbench negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a, so detailed description is omitted.

[0110] As described above, when the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b vacuums the conversion kit 111, the conversion kit 111 can be fixed on the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b. In addition, when the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b releases the vacuum adsorption of the conversion kit 111, the conversion kit 111 can be removed from the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure.

[0111] For reference, when the conversion kit 111 is mounted on the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b so that one side of the Z axis of the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b is opposite to one side of the Z axis of the conversion kit 111 (formal installation), the pickup module may be in a state capable of clamping a semiconductor or a strip. In addition, when the conversion kit 111 is not mounted on the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b, the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b may be in a state capable of conveying the conversion kit 111, at which time, the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b may cause the conversion kit 111 to be mounted on the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b so that one side of the Z axis of the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b is opposite to the other side of the Z axis of the conversion kit 111 (temporary installation state), and convey the conversion kit 111.

[0112] The pickup kit recess 1122 b may have a cross section in the shape of an elongated hole formed by extending in the longitudinal direction of the conversion kit 111 .

[0113] In the first system, the picker device 4 can configure or remove the conversion kit 111 of the adsorbed package in the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2, the visual stage 3 and the picker device 4. Specifically, when the conversion kit 111 is not installed on each negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a, the first to third pick-up modules 41, 42, 43 can each adsorb the conversion kit 111 and transfer it. In addition, adsorbing the conversion kit 111 and transferring it here can mean that the first to third pick-up modules 41, 42, 43 each remove the conversion kit 111 pre-configured relative to the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 or the visual stage 3, or configure a new conversion kit 111.

[0114] Specifically, the second picking module 42 may transfer the conversion kit 111 between the package cutting device 1 and the drying device 2 , and the third picking module 43 may transfer the conversion kit 111 between the drying device 2 and the visual station 3 .

[0115] In addition, when the conversion kit 111 is not formally installed on the negative pressure transfer plate 112a for the pickup (the conversion kit 111 is installed so that one Z-axis side of the conversion kit 111 is opposite to one Z-axis side of the negative pressure transfer plate 112a for the pickup), the picking module (one or more of the first to third picking modules 41, 42, 43) can transfer the conversion kit 111.

[0116] The following first describes the case where the pickup device 4 is equipped with a conversion kit 111 in the negative pressure transmission plate structure (negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the workbench) of the workbench module 11 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3.

[0117] Before the conversion kit 111 is configured for the worktable negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b of the worktable module 11, the worktable module 11 may be in a state where the pre-configured conversion kit 111 pre-configured on the worktable negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b is removed. The removal of the pre-configured conversion kit 111 will be described later.

[0118] For example, refer to Figure 1 , the first system may include a loading and unloading device 5 that has prepared a conversion kit 111, and the first picking module 41 may obtain the conversion kit 111 from the loading and unloading device 5 and place it relative to the packaging cutting device 1. In more detail, the conversion kit 111 to be installed is taken out from the loading and unloading device 5 by a clamper (not shown), and the first picking module 41 lowers and vacuum-adsorbs the taken-out conversion kit 111 located on a guide rail (not shown). According to one embodiment of the present invention, a conversion kit cassette for accommodating a plurality of conversion kits 111 may be provided in the loading and unloading device 5. The conversion kit cassette may be divided into a cassette for accommodating an installation conversion kit and a cassette for accommodating a recycled conversion kit. In addition, the conversion kits may be distinguished according to their types or according to the packaging size, thereby accommodating a plurality of conversion kits in the cassette.

[0119] In addition, the second pick-up module 42 may pick up the conversion kit 111 placed relative to the package cutting device 1 and place it relative to the drying device 2. In addition, after the conversion kit 111 is placed relative to the drying device 2, the second pick-up module 42 may further pick up the conversion kit 111 placed relative to the package cutting device 1. In addition, the third pick-up module 43 may pick up the conversion kit 111 placed relative to the drying device 2 and place it relative to the vision table 3. In addition, after the conversion kit 111 is placed relative to the vision table 3, the third pick-up module 43 may further pick up the conversion kit 111 placed relative to the drying device 2.

[0120] More specifically, refer to Figure 1For example, it is assumed that two conversion kits 111 need to be placed on the vision table 3, one conversion kit 111 needs to be placed on the third pick-up module 43, two conversion kits 111 need to be placed on the drying device 2, one conversion kit 111 needs to be placed on the second pick-up module 42, and two conversion kits 111 need to be placed on the package cutting device 1. The first pick-up module 41 can obtain the conversion kits 111 from the loading and unloading device 5, and sequentially place 8 (2+1+2+1+2) conversion kits 111 one at a time on the workbench module 11 of the package cutting device 1 (the hollow space of the workbench modules 11 of the two package cutting devices 1). The conversion kit 111 placed on the package cutting device 1 by the first pick-up module 41 for the first time can be picked up by the second pick-up module and placed on the workbench module 11 of the drying device 2, and the third pick-up module 43 can pick up the first conversion kit 111 and place it on the workbench module 11 of the vision table 3. During the completion of the transfer work of the first conversion kit 111, the transfer work of the second conversion kit 111 can also be carried out. The first pick-up module 41 can transfer the second conversion kit 111 after transferring the first conversion kit 111. The second conversion kit 111 transferred to the workbench module 11 of the packaging cutting device 1 by the first pick-up module 41 can be placed on the workbench module 11 of the drying device 42 by the second pick-up module 42 that finishes the transfer of the first conversion kit 111. Then, the third pick-up module 43 that finishes the transfer of the first conversion kit 111 can place the second conversion kit 111 on other workbench modules 11 of the visual table 3. As described above, the transfer of eight conversion kits 111 can be continuously carried out. In this process, the process of placing the conversion kit 111 on the workbench module 11 of the visual table 3 is completed, and then the third pick-up module 43 can formally install the third conversion kit 111 on its own pick-up negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b. At this time, as described above, when the conversion kit 111 is formally installed through the picking module, the picking module formally installs the conversion kit 111 so that one side of the conversion kit 111 in the Z-axis direction is opposite to one side of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the picker in the Z-axis direction. Therefore, the third conversion kit 111 to be installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the picker of the third picking module 43 is different from the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth conversion kits 111 described later, and is transferred to the packaging cutting device 1 in a state where one side in the Z-axis direction is facing the other side (upper side) in the Z-axis direction, so that it can be placed on the drying device 2 via the second picking module 42.In addition, after the fourth conversion kit 111 is transferred to the workbench module 11 of the package cutting device 1 by the first pickup module 41, it can be placed on one of the two workbench modules 11 of the drying device 1 by the second pickup module 42. After the fifth conversion kit 111 is transferred to the workbench module 11 of the package cutting device 1 by the first pickup module 41, it can be placed on the remaining one of the two workbench modules 11 by the second pickup module 42, thereby completing the placement of the conversion kit 111 of the drying device 2. Then, the sixth conversion kit 111 transferred to the workbench module 11 of the package cutting device 1 can be installed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the picker of the second pickup module 42. As described above, when the conversion kit 111 is formally installed by the pick-up module, the pick-up module formally installs the conversion kit 111 so that one side of the conversion kit 111 in the Z-axis direction is opposite to one side of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the picker in the Z-axis direction. Therefore, the sixth conversion kit 111 to be formally installed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the picker of the second pick-up module 42 can be placed on the package cutting device 1 in a state where one side of the conversion kit 111 in the Z-axis direction faces the other side of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b in the Z-axis direction, unlike the first, second, fourth, fifth, and seventh and eighth conversion kits 111 described later. Then, the seventh conversion kit 111 and the eighth conversion kit 111 can each be placed on one of the workbench modules 11 of the package cutting device 1 by the first pick-up module 41. Through the above process, the automatic configuration of the conversion kit 111 can be completed.

[0121] Additionally, removal of the pre-configured conversion kit 111 may include the following process.

[0122] First, the first picking module 41 can pick up the conversion kit 111 placed relative to the packaging cutting device 1 and transfer it to the loading and unloading device 5, the second picking module 42 can pick up the conversion kit 111 placed relative to the drying device 2 and place it relative to the packaging cutting device 1, and the third picking module 43 can pick up the conversion kit 111 placed relative to the visual table 3 and place it relative to the packaging cutting device 1.

[0123] Specifically, the first picking module 41 can pick up the conversion kit 111 of the workbench module 11 of the package cutting device 1 and transfer it to the loading and unloading device 5. More specifically, the first picking module 41 can pick up the conversion kit 111 of the workbench module 11 of the package cutting device 1 and place it on a guide rail (not shown), and push it into a box for recovering the conversion kit located on the loading and unloading device 5 through a gripper (not shown) for recovery. Therefore, when the conversion kit 111 of at least one workbench module 11 of the packaging cutting device 1 is removed, the second picking module 42 can place the conversion kit 111 formally installed on the workbench negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b on the workbench module 11 of the packaging cutting device 1 from which the conversion kit 111 has been removed, and then the first picking module 41 can pick up the conversion kit 111 placed on the workbench module 11 of the packaging cutting device 1 by the second picking module 42 and transfer it to the loading and unloading device 5. After the second picking module 42 removes its conversion kit 111, it can pick up the conversion kits 111 of the workbench modules 11 of the drying device 2 one by one at a time and place them on the workbench module 11 of the packaging cutting device 1 from which the conversion kit 111 has been removed. The picking module 41 can sequentially transfer the conversion kits 111 placed by the second picking module 42 to the loading and unloading device 5 one at a time. When the conversion kit 111 of at least one workbench module 11 of the drying device 3 is removed, the third picking module 43 can place the conversion kit 111 formally installed on the workbench negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b on the workbench module 11 of the drying device 2 from which the conversion kit 111 has been removed. The conversion kits 111 of the workbench module 11 of the visual table 3 can be sequentially picked up one at a time and placed on the workbench module 11 of the drying device 2 from which the conversion kit 111 has been removed. The second picking module 42 sequentially transfers the conversion kits 111 placed by the third picking module 43 to the workbench module 11 of the packaging cutting device 1 one at a time. Through the above process, the automatic removal of the conversion kit 111 can be achieved.

[0124] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the conversion kits 111 of the vision station 3, the drying device 2, the third pickup module 43 and the second pickup module 42 may be of different types from the conversion kit 111 of the package cutting device 1. This is because the conversion kits 111 of the vision station 3, the drying device 2, the third pickup module 43 and the second pickup module 42 are vacuum clamped to be cut independently of the multiple packages, while the conversion kit 111 of the package cutting device 1 is clamped to be cut and separated into strips before the packages. Therefore, in order to cut the strip into multiple packages, the conversion kit 111 of the package cutting device 1 may have auxiliary lines (cutting grooves) between each package position. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish and identify the conversion kit 111 combined with the package cutting device 1 and the conversion kit 111 combined with the vision station 3, the drying device 2, the third pickup module 43 and the second pickup module 42, and first transmit the conversion kit 111 combined with the vision station 3, the drying device 2, the third pickup module 43 and the second pickup module 42, and finally transmit the conversion kit 111 combined with the package cutting device 1.

[0125] When the conversion kit 111 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 device is transported instead of the conversion kit 111 installed on the picking module, the picking module can clamp the conversion kit 111 for transportation so that the other side of the Z axis of the conversion kit 111 is opposite to the Z axis side of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the picker of the picking module.

[0126] In addition, when removing the pre-configured conversion kit 111, the vacuum adsorption can be released on the workbench recess 1122a of the conversion kit 111 of the suction workbench module 11, and the pickup recess 1122b of the conversion kit 111 of the suction pickup module can be vacuum adsorbed to adsorb the conversion kit 111 for transferring the conversion kit 111.

[0127] In addition, the pick-up modules 41, 42, 43 may include a conversion kit 111. Thus, when the conversion kit 111 of the pick-up modules 41, 42, 43 is not installed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the picker (in other words, when the conversion kit 111 is not formally installed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the picker), the pick-up modules 41, 42, 43 may separate the conversion kit 111 pre-configured relative to the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the workbench, or place a new conversion kit 111.

[0128] In addition, refer to Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 , the negative pressure transfer plate structures 112a, 112b may include protruding protrusions 1123. For example, referring to Figure 5The negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench may include a protrusion 1123 protruding toward the other side in the Z-axis direction, referring to Figure 8 , the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a may include a protrusion 1123 protruding toward one side in the Z-axis direction. Figure 3 A hole 1112 for inserting at least a portion of the protrusion 1123 can be formed in the conversion kit 111. Through the combination of the protrusion 1123 and the hole 1112, the conversion kit 111 can have a positive position on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a, 112b and be clamped or even placed (configured).

[0129] In addition, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112 b may include a protrusion 1126 protruding toward one side in the Z-axis direction.

[0130] In addition, refer to Figure 3 , the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench may include a hole 1116 for inserting at least a portion of the protrusion 1126. Thus, when the pick-up modules 41, 42, 43 configure the conversion kit 111 relative to the workbench module 11, or when the pick-up modules 41, 42, 43 load a plurality of packages on the conversion kit 111 disposed on the workbench module 11, the pick-up negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b of the pick-up modules 41, 42, 43 may be configured at a positive position relative to the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench, the conversion kit 111 is placed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench, and a plurality of packages are accurately placed on the conversion kit 111 disposed on the workbench module 11.

[0131] In addition, refer to Figure 4 as well as Fig. 9 The conversion kit 111 may include a pair of protrusions 1115, each of which protrudes outward from two sides of the conversion kit 111 and extends in the length direction of the conversion kit 111 ( Figure 4 In addition, refer to Figure 8 as well as Fig. 9 The negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the pickup may include a pair of coupling parts 1125, which protrude from both sides of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the pickup toward one side in the Z-axis direction so as to be inserted and combined with the pair of protrusions 1115.

[0132] The coupling portion 1125 may include a side component 11251 facing outward on one side in the Z-axis direction and another side component 11252 extending outward from the one side component 11251, and having a shape extending in a zigzag shape in the Z-axis direction. Thus, the distance between the one side components 11251 of a pair of coupling portions 1125 may become narrower toward the other side in the Z-axis direction, the interval between the ends of the one side components 11251 on the other side in the Z-axis direction is narrower than the width of the portion of the conversion kit 111 formed with the protrusion 1115, and the interval between the other side components 11252 of the pair of coupling portions 1125 may gradually increase toward the other side in the Z-axis direction. Thus, when the pickup module picks up the conversion kit 111, the pickup module can move toward the Z axis (move downward) until one side of the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b on the Z axis contacts one side of the conversion kit 111, thereby adsorbing the conversion kit 111. In this process, the conversion kit 111 can pass between the one side parts 11251 of the pair of coupling parts 1125, and can enter the other side end of the pair of one side parts 11251 in the Z axis direction. Thus, the protrusion 1115 and the coupling part 1125 are in friction contact, and the conversion kit 111 can be physically installed on the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b.

[0133] In addition, when placing the conversion kit 111, the picking module can place the conversion kit 111 it clamps on the workbench negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a of the workbench module 11. At this time, the workbench negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a can be vacuum adsorbed through the workbench kit recess 1122a, thereby applying an external force in the downward direction to the conversion kit 111. At the same time, the picking module can move upward. During this process, the protrusion 1115 of the conversion kit 111 can fall off from the coupling part 1125 of the pickup negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b.

[0134] As described above, through the coupling of the protrusion 1115 of the conversion kit 111 and the coupling portion 1125 of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the pickup, even if the vacuum adsorption of the conversion kit 111 of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the pickup is interrupted (for example, due to the stopping of the negative pressure generator, etc.), the conversion kit 111 can remain installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the pickup without being separated from the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the pickup.

[0135] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8As shown, the coupling portion 1125 can be staggered, so that even if the conversion kit 111 is easily detached from the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the pickup through the vacuum adsorption of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a for the workbench, and the vacuum adsorption of the conversion kit 111 of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the pickup is interrupted (for example, due to the stop of the negative pressure generator, etc.), the conversion kit 111 can also be stably maintained in a state of being installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the pickup without being separated from the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the pickup.

[0136] In addition, refer to Fig.10 , the coupling part 1125 can be provided in the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench of the workbench module 11 of the flip module 22 of the drying device 2, because the workbench module 11 of the flip module 22 rotates with the X axis as the rotation axis. That is, the conversion kit 111 is fixed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench of the flip module 22 by vacuum adsorption. When the vacuum adsorption is interrupted in the state where the workbench module 11 of the flip module 22 is rotated 180°, the conversion kit 111 will fall off from the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench of the flip module 22. Therefore, considering this point, the coupling part 1125 can also be provided in the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench of the workbench module 11 of the flip module 22. The structure and function of the coupling part 1125 of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench of the workbench module 11 of the flip module 22 are similar to those of the coupling part 1125 of the pickup module, and therefore, detailed description is omitted.

[0137] As described above, in the first system, the conversion kit 111 is installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structures 112a, 112b by vacuum adsorption of the negative pressure transfer plate structures 112a, 112b to automatically complete the replacement of the conversion kit 111. The detachable state of the conversion kit 111 and the negative pressure transfer plate structures 112a, 112b can be automatically formed by adjusting whether vacuum adsorption is formed. When the vacuum adsorption is released to form the detachable state, the conversion kit 111 can be removed by vacuum adsorption of the picking module. The picking module can place the conversion kit 111. When a new conversion kit 111 is placed on the negative pressure transfer plate structures 112a, 112b, vacuum adsorption can be restarted to automatically fix the conversion kit 111 on the negative pressure transfer plate structures 112a, 112b.

[0138] In addition, in the first system, the workbench module 11 of the picking module and the flipping module 22 includes a coupling portion 1125, so that even if the vacuum adsorption is interrupted due to an unexpected problem, the conversion kit 111 can be prevented from accidentally falling off from the workbench module 11 of the picking module and the flipping module 22.

[0139] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, identification information may be marked on the conversion kit 111 to identify information related to the conversion kit 111 (for example, size information of the packaging placement portion of the conversion kit 111 according to the packaging size, and the type of conversion kit 111 suitable for each workbench module), and a sensor may be provided in the first picking module 41 to scan the identification information. The first picking module 41 may determine that the conversion kit 111 taken out from the loading and unloading device 5 is a reasonable conversion kit 111 through the scanning of the sensor, and then pick up the conversion kit 111. If it is an unreasonable conversion kit 111, picking up is stopped.

[0140] In addition, the conversion kit 111 can pick up the conversion kit 111 taken out from the loading and unloading device 5 and placed on the guide rail (not shown). When the conversion kit 111 is placed on the guide rail at an angle staggered from the correct position, the first picking module 41 can rotate to clamp the conversion kit 111 configured at the staggered angle, thereby transferring the conversion kit 111 to have a correct position.

[0141] The following describes a workbench module (hereinafter referred to as "the present workbench module") 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention applied in the above-mentioned first system. However, when describing the present workbench module 11, the same figure marks are used for structures that are the same as or similar to those described in the above-mentioned first system, and repeated descriptions will be simplified or omitted.

[0142] The workbench module 11 may include a conversion kit 111 , which has a plurality of vacuum holes 1111 formed in the Z-axis direction.

[0143] In addition, the workbench module 11 includes a negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a for the workbench, and the negative pressure transfer plate structure for the workbench is configured with a conversion kit 111 on the other side facing the Z-axis direction, thereby connecting the negative pressure generator (not shown) and the vacuum hole 1111.

[0144] The negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench can vacuum absorb the conversion kit 111. Therefore, when the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench vacuum absorbs the conversion kit 111, the conversion kit 111 is fixed to the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench. In addition, when the vacuum absorption of the conversion kit 111 by the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench is released, the conversion kit 111 becomes a state that can be removed from the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench.

[0145] The negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench may include a product recessed portion 1121a for the workbench, which is formed by recessing toward one side in the Z-axis direction at a portion opposite to the portion of the conversion kit 111 where the plurality of vacuum holes 1111 are formed. The product recessed portion 1121a for the workbench may transmit the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure generator to the vacuum holes 1111 and release the negative pressure.

[0146] In addition, the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a for the workbench may include a recessed portion 1122a for the workbench kit, which is a portion opposite to at least a portion of the edge portion of the conversion kit 111 and is recessed toward one side in the Z-axis direction, thereby completing the vacuum adsorption of the conversion kit 111.

[0147] The table kit recess 1122 may have a cross section in the shape of an elongated hole extending in the longitudinal direction of the conversion kit 111 .

[0148] The negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a for the workbench may include a protrusion 1123 protruding toward the other side of the Z-axis direction, and the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the pickup may include a protrusion 1123 protruding toward one side of the Z-axis direction, and a hole 1112 for inserting at least a portion of the protrusion 1123 may be formed in the conversion kit 111.

[0149] In addition, the following description includes the above-mentioned workbench module 11 and is applied to the conversion kit automatic replacement device according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "this device") in the first system. However, in the description of this device, for the same or similar structures as those described in the above content, the same figure marks are used, and repeated descriptions will be simplified or omitted.

[0150] The device comprises a workbench module 11 .

[0151] In addition, the present device includes a picking module, which separates the conversion kit 111 pre-configured relative to the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a for the workbench from the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a for the workbench, or places a new conversion kit 111 relative to the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112a for the workbench.

[0152] The pickup module may include a negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for a pickup on which the conversion kit 11 is installed at one side in the Z-axis direction. The negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for a pickup may vacuum-absorb the conversion kit 111.

[0153] The negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the pickup may include a product recess portion 1121b for the pickup, wherein at least a portion of the portion opposite to the portion of the conversion kit 111 on which a plurality of vacuum holes 1111 are formed is recessed toward the other side in the Z-axis direction so as to transfer the negative pressure effect generated by the negative pressure generator to the vacuum holes 1111 and release the negative pressure.

[0154] In addition, the pickup negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b may include a pickup kit recess 1122b, which is a portion opposite to the edge portion of the conversion kit 111 and is recessed toward the other side of the Z-axis direction, thereby completing the adsorption of the conversion kit 111.

[0155] The pickup kit recess 1122 b may have a cross section in the shape of an elongated hole formed by extending in the longitudinal direction of the conversion kit 111 .

[0156] In addition, the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the pickup may include a protrusion 1126 protruding toward one side in the Z-axis direction, and the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench may include a hole 1116 into which at least a portion of the protrusion 1126 is inserted.

[0157] In addition, the conversion kit 111 may include a pair of protrusions 1115, which protrude outward from both sides of the conversion kit 111 and extend in the length direction of the conversion kit 111. In addition, the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b may include a pair of coupling parts 1125, which protrude from both sides of the pickup negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b toward one side in the Z-axis direction, so as to be inserted and combined with the pair of protrusions 1115.

[0158] In addition, the pick-up modules 41, 42, 43 may include a conversion kit 111. Thus, when the conversion kit 111 of the pick-up modules 41, 42, 43 is not installed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the picker (in other words, when the conversion kit 111 is not formally installed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the picker), the pick-up modules 41, 42, 43 may separate the conversion kit 111 pre-configured relative to the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112b for the workbench, or place a new conversion kit 111.

[0159] The following describes an automatic conversion kit replacement system according to a second embodiment of the present invention, an adsorption module according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and an adsorption module according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0160] For reference, in the following description, terms related to directions or positions (one side of the Z axis, one side of the Z axis, the other side of the Z axis, the other side of the Z axis, etc.) refer to Fig.12aIf so, based on the space between the first plate 9111a1 and the second plate 9111a2 of the conversion kit 9111, the direction toward the first plate 9111a1 is set as one side of the Z-axis direction, and the direction toward the second plate 9111a2 is set as the other side of the Z-axis direction. One side of the Z-axis (one side of the Z-axis direction) can be the surface facing one side of the Z-axis direction as set above, and the other side of the Z-axis (the other side of the Z-axis direction) can be the surface facing the other side of the Z-axis direction as set above. According to the use and configuration of the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention can be configured so that one side of the Z-axis faces the upper side or the lower side. In addition, in the description related to the embodiments of the present invention, the upper side and the lower side in the terms related to direction or position are set based on the configuration state of each structure shown in the figure. For example, observe Figures 11 to 20 When the display is turned on, the 12 o'clock direction can be the upper side as a whole, and the 6 o'clock direction can be the lower side as a whole.

[0161] First, the automatic conversion kit replacement system according to the second embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the second system") is described. However, in the description of the second system, the descriptions that are repeated with the above content and the content described in the first adsorption module and the second adsorption module described later are simplified or omitted.

[0162] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the second system includes a package cutting device 1 for cutting the strip into packages. The package cutting device 1 may include an adsorption module 911. The adsorption module 911 of the package cutting device 1 of the second system may be the same as, similar to, or correspond to the workbench module 11 of the package cutting device 1 of the first system described above. Thus, as described above, the strip transmitted to the adsorption module 911 of the package cutting device 1 may be cut into independent packages by a blade (not shown). For example, the strip may be placed on the adsorption module 911 and may be cut in a placed state.

[0163] In addition, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second system includes a drying device 2 for drying the package. The drying device 2 may be the same as, similar to, or corresponding to the drying device 2 of the first system, and thus a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0164] In addition, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second system includes a vision platform 3 provided with the package. The vision platform 3 of the second system may be the same, similar or corresponding to the vision platform 3 of the first system, so detailed description is omitted.

[0165] In addition, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The second system includes a pickup unit 4 that absorbs the strip or package and transfers it between the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual station 3. In addition, referring to Figure 1 , the picking unit 4 may include a first picking device 41, a second picking device 42 and a third picking device 43. The picking unit 4 is arranged on the other side of the z-axis of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual stage 3. It can mean that the first picking device 41, the second picking device 42 and the third picking device 43 are arranged on the other side of the z-axis of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual stage 3.

[0166] For reference, the picking portion 4 of the second system may be the same as, similar to or corresponding to the picking device 4 of the first system, and the first picking device 41, the second picking device 42 and the third picking device 43 of the second system may each be the same as, similar to or corresponding to the first to third picking modules 41, 42, 43 of the first system.

[0167] Therefore, in order to correspond to the first picking module 41, the second picking module 42 and the third picking module 43 of the above-mentioned first system respectively, in the second system, the first picking device 41 can transmit the strip supplied by the loading and unloading device (not shown) to the packaging cutting device 1, the second picking device 42 can transmit the package from the packaging cutting device 1 to the drying device 2, and the third picking device 43 can transmit the package from the drying device 2 to the visual table 3.

[0168] The package cutting device 1, the drying device 2, the visual table 3 and the picking part 4 each include an adsorption module 911 for adsorbing the package. In addition, the adsorption module 911 may include a conversion kit 9111 and a negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 on which the conversion kit 9111 is installed. For reference, the adsorption modules 911 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 may be the same, similar or corresponding to the workbench module 11 of the first system described above, and the adsorption module 911 of the picking part 4 may be the same, similar or corresponding to the structure including the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112b for the picker and the conversion kit 9111 of the first system described above. Therefore, a detailed description of the number, function, etc. of the adsorption modules 911 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 is omitted.

[0169] Refer to Fig.11 as well as Fig.12a The adsorption module 911 may include a conversion kit 9111, wherein the conversion kit has a plurality of vacuum holes 91111 formed in the Z-axis direction. The strip or package placed on the adsorption module 911 may be placed on the conversion kit 9111. For example, referring to Fig.12aAnd 12b, the conversion kit 9111 may include a first plate 9111a1 and a second plate 9111a2, and the vacuum hole 91111 may include: a first tube portion 911111, formed by penetrating the first plate 9111a1 in the Z-axis direction; and a second tube portion 911112, extended from the first tube portion 911111, and formed by penetrating the second plate 9111a2 in the Z-axis direction.

[0170] In addition, refer to Figures 11 to 13 The adsorption module 911 may include a negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112. The negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 may adsorb the conversion kit 9111, and connect the negative pressure generator (not shown, for example, located on the other side of the z-axis of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112) and the multiple vacuum holes 91111 of the conversion kit 9111.

[0171] In addition, refer to Figures 11 to 13 , a conversion kit 9111 may be disposed on one side of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 in the Z-axis direction, and the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 may be connected to a negative pressure generator (not shown) and a vacuum hole 91111. Fig.12a as well as Figure 12b The negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 may include product adsorption connection parts 91121, 911281 and a kit adsorption part 91122 for forming or releasing negative pressure to complete the adsorption of the product and the conversion kit 9111. For example, referring to Figure 12b as well as Fig.13 The negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 may include product adsorption connection parts 91121 and 911281, which are formed at a portion opposite to a portion of the conversion kit 9111 where a plurality of vacuum holes 91111 are formed, thereby connecting the negative pressure generator and the vacuum holes 91111. The product adsorption connection parts 91121 and 911281 may transfer the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure generator to the vacuum holes 91111 and release the negative pressure. Specifically, although not shown in the figure, the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 may include a communication port connecting the product adsorption connection parts 91121 and 911281 and the negative pressure generator. When the negative pressure generator inhales gas (generates negative pressure), the gas in the product adsorption connection parts 91121 and 911281 flows into the negative pressure generator side, thereby, the gas in the vacuum hole 91111 flows into the negative pressure generator side through the product adsorption connection parts 91121 and 911281, thereby forming a negative pressure in the vacuum hole 91111, so that the package or strip placed on the conversion kit 9111 can be adsorbed. In addition, when the negative pressure generator releases (stops) the generation of negative pressure, the generation of negative pressure in the vacuum hole 91111 connected to the negative pressure generator through the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 is interrupted, and the adsorption of the vacuum hole 91111 can be interrupted.

[0172] In addition, refer to Figure 12b as well as Fig.13 , the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 may include a kit adsorption portion 91122, which is a portion opposite to at least a portion of the edge portion of the conversion kit 9111 and is recessed toward the other side in the Z-axis direction, thereby completing the vacuum adsorption of the conversion kit 9111. The negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 of the adsorption module 911 of each of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2, and the visual table 3 is the same, similar, or corresponding structure as the negative pressure transmission plate structure 112a for the workbench of the first system, so the specific description of the kit adsorption portion 91122 is omitted.

[0173] In addition, the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 may include a main body 91128 and an edge 91129 disposed on one side of the main body 91128 along the z-axis. A suction recess 911281 may be formed in the main body 91128. The suction recess is a portion corresponding to the portion where the plurality of vacuum holes 91111 are formed, which is recessed toward the other side of the z-axis and is connected to the negative pressure generator. In addition, a kit suction portion 91122 may be formed in the edge 91129 in the form of a perforation extending in the z-axis direction, and a connecting port (not shown) connecting the negative pressure generator and the kit suction portion 91122 may be formed on the other side of the z-axis of the kit suction portion 91122 located in the main body 91128. Thus, negative pressure may be formed or released inside the kit suction portion 91122 by the negative pressure generator connected by the connecting port. In addition, a connection space 91121 having a plurality of vacuum holes 91111 communicating with the adsorption recess 911281 and the conversion kit 9111 may be formed at the edge portion 91129. Thus, the vacuum holes 91111 may be communicated with the negative pressure generator through the connection space 91121 and the adsorption recess 911281, thereby forming or releasing the formation of negative pressure.

[0174] In addition, the adsorption module 911 can be configured with one side of the z-axis facing downward or one side of the z-axis facing upward. Figure 1 The adsorption modules 911 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 are configured with one side of the z-axis facing upward, and the adsorption modules 911 of the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43 of the picking part 4 (the same as, similar to or corresponding to the structure of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the picker and the conversion kit 9111 of the above-mentioned first system) are configured with one side of the z-axis facing downward.

[0175] Therefore, although it is described later, refer to Figures 11 to 12d In the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3, the conversion kit 9111 can be configured so that when it is formally installed, its z-axis side faces upward. Fig.15In the second pickup device 42 and the third pickup device 43, the conversion kit 9111 can be configured so that when it is formally installed, its z-axis side faces downward. Fig.18 In the first picking device 41, the conversion kit 9111 can be configured so that when it is formally installed, its z-axis side faces downward.

[0176] In addition, when the negative pressure transmission plate structure 911 performs vacuum adsorption on the conversion kit 9111, the conversion kit 9111 can be mounted (position fixed) on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112. In addition, when the vacuum adsorption of the conversion kit 9111 by the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 is released, the conversion kit 9111 can be removed from the negative pressure transmission plate structure.

[0177] In addition, the conversion kit 9111 can be installed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 so that one side of its z-axis faces the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 (temporary installation state). Alternatively, the conversion kit 9111 can be installed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 so that the other side of its z-axis faces the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 (formal installation state). At this time, when the conversion kit 9111 is formally installed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112, the adsorption module 911 can adsorb semiconductors or strips. For example, when the conversion kit 9111 is formally installed on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 of the first to third pickup devices 41, 42, 43, the first to third pickup devices 41, 42, 43 can be in a state capable of clamping semiconductors or strips. In addition, when the conversion kit 9111 is formally installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3, the adsorption module 911 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 can be in a state capable of adsorbing the packages or strips placed thereon.

[0178] In addition, when the conversion kit 9111 is temporarily mounted on the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112, the adsorption module 911 (negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112) may transfer the conversion kit 9111. The transfer of the conversion kit 9111 will be described in detail below.

[0179] In the present system, the pickup unit 4 adsorbs or removes the conversion kit 9111 configured for the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2, the visual table 3, and the pickup unit 4. Specifically, when the conversion kit 9111 is not formally installed on each negative pressure conveying plate structure 9112, the first to third pickup devices 41, 42, 43 can each adsorb the conversion kit 9111 for conveyance. Among them, adsorbing the conversion kit 9111 for conveyance can mean that the first to third pickup devices 41, 42, 43 each remove the conversion kit 9111 pre-configured relative to the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 or the visual table 3, or configure a new conversion kit 9111.

[0180] Specifically, the first picking device 41 can transfer the conversion kit 9111 between the loading and unloading device and the packaging and cutting device 1, the second picking device 42 can transfer the conversion kit 9111 between the packaging and cutting device 1 and the drying device 2, and the third picking device 43 can transfer the conversion kit 9111 between the drying device 2 and the visual table 3.

[0181] In addition, when the conversion kit 9111 is not formally installed on the negative pressure transmission plate 9112, the picking device (one or more of the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43) can transfer the conversion kit 9111.

[0182] The negative pressure transfer plate structure (negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112) configured as a conversion kit 9111 of the pickup unit 4 to the adsorption modules 911 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 is the same as, similar to or corresponds to the negative pressure transfer plate structure (negative pressure transfer plate structure 112b for the workbench) configured as a conversion kit 111 of the pickup device 4 to the workbench module 11 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 of the first system mentioned above, so detailed description is omitted.

[0183] However, for reference, the ninth conversion kit 9111 installed on the first pickup device 41 can be prepared with one side of the z-axis direction facing the lower side, in other words, the other side of the z-axis direction facing the upper side.

[0184] In addition, as described above, the conversion kit 9111 can be prepared in a conversion kit box. At this time, the first to ninth conversion kits 9111 can be prepared in sequence so that they can be picked up in sequence. When prepared in order, the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth conversion kits 9111 can be prepared with one side of the Z axis facing upward, and the third, sixth and ninth conversion kits 9111 can be prepared with one side of the Z axis facing downward.

[0185] In addition, the pre-configured conversion kit 9111 may also be removed, which is the same, similar or corresponding to the removal process of the pre-configured conversion kit 111 of the first system described above, and thus detailed description is omitted.

[0186] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the conversion kits 9111 of the visual station 3, the drying device 2, the third pickup device 43, and the second pickup device 42 can be different types from the conversion kit 9111 of the package cutting device 1. This is because the conversion kits 9111 of the visual station 3, the drying device 2, the third pickup device 43, and the second pickup device 42 vacuum clamp a plurality of packages that are cut independently, while the conversion kit 9111 of the package cutting device 1 clamps the strips before being cut into packages. In this regard, it is explained in the content related to the first system, so the detailed description is omitted.

[0187] When the conversion kit 9111 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 devices is transported instead of the conversion kit 9111 installed on the picking device, the picking device can clamp the conversion kit 9111 for transportation so that the Z-axis side of the conversion kit 9111 faces the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the picking device.

[0188] In addition, when removing the pre-configured conversion kit 9111, the vacuum adsorption can be released in the kit adsorption portion 91122 of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 on which the conversion kit 9111 is configured, and a vacuum is applied in the kit adsorption portion 91122 of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the picking device that picks up the conversion kit 9111 to be removed, thereby enabling vacuum adsorption.

[0189] In addition, the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43 may include a conversion kit 9111. Thus, when the conversion kit 9111 of the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43 is not installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43 (in other words, the conversion kit 9111 is not formally installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112), the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43 may separate the conversion kit 9111 pre-configured relative to the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2, and the visual table 3, or place a new conversion kit 9111.

[0190] In addition, refer to Figures 11 to 13 , Fig.15 as well as Fig.16, the adsorption module 911 includes a clamp 9113 capable of clamping the conversion kit 9111. Specifically, the clamp 9113 is arranged on one side (one surface) of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 in the z-axis direction, so that in the basic state, the conversion kit 9111 can be clamped. The basic state of the clamp 9113 (or the basic state of the clamp unit 91131) can be as follows: Fig.12c As shown, it refers to the state in which the clamp unit 91131 is upright in the Z-axis direction. In addition, although it is described in detail later, the clamp unit 91131 can have an outer movement state, although it is not shown in the figure, the outer movement state refers to, with reference to Fig.12c , which can refer to Fig.12c In the upright state of the clamp unit 91131 shown in the figure, one side of the clamp unit 91131 in the z-axis direction moves outward, and the clamp unit 91131 is rotated around the hinge 91132.

[0191] Specifically, refer to Fig.12c The clamp 9113 may include a clamp unit 91131, at least a portion of which is protruding toward one side of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 in the z-axis direction, and is formed with a protrusion 911319 protruding inward toward the portion where the conversion kit 9111 is configured. The clamp unit 91131 may have a hook shape. In addition, a recessed portion 91119 for coupling the protrusion 911319 of the clamp unit 91131 may be formed on the outer surface of the conversion kit 9111. The protrusion 911319 of the clamp unit 91131 is locked and coupled to the recessed portion 91119, so that the clamp unit 91131 can clamp the conversion kit 9111.

[0192] In addition, refer to Fig.12c The clamp 9113 may include a hinge unit 91132, which enables the clamp unit 91131 to rotate with the length direction of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 as an axis. The clamp unit 91131 can rotate by the hinge unit 91132, whereby the end of the clamp unit 91131 facing the z-axis direction can move outward from the state of clamping the conversion kit 9111 to move away from the conversion kit 9111. Thus, the clamp unit 91131 can be switched from a clampable state to a released state.

[0193] In addition, refer to Fig.12c as well as Fig.12d, the clamp 9113 may include an elastic member 91133 that provides an external force to the clamp unit 9113 toward the inside (toward the direction of the conversion kit 9111). The elastic member 91133 may be configured in a compressed state on the outside of the clamp unit 9113 (the side facing the opposite direction (outside) to the direction toward the conversion kit 9111) so as to be elastically movable. Thus, when the clamp unit 91131 rotates a predetermined angle, the elastic member 91133 provides an elastic restoring force to the clamp unit 91131, so that an external force toward the inside can be applied to the clamp unit 91131.

[0194] That is, refer to Fig.12c When the clamp unit 91131 is in the basic state, the protrusion 911319 can be locked and coupled in the recessed portion 91119, so that the conversion kit 9111 can be clamped. When an external force is applied to the clamp unit 91131 in the outward direction, the clamp unit 91131 rotates through the hinge unit 91132, and the part of the clamp unit 91131 facing the z-axis direction (i.e., the part forming the protrusion 911319) moves outward, thereby having an outward moving state. In the outward moving state, the locking coupling of the conversion kit 9111 can be released, so that it can have a clamping release state. In addition, when the clamp unit 91131 moves outward, the elastic component 91133 located on the outside of the clamp unit 91131 is compressed in the outward direction, so that an external force inward can be applied to the clamp unit 91131 through the elastic component 91133. Thus, when the external force inward applied to the clamp unit 91131 becomes lower than the external force inward applied by the elastic component 91133, the clamp unit 91131 can return to the basic state.

[0195] For reference, refer to Fig.12c And 12d, a receiving recessed portion 911311 for receiving at least a portion of the elastic member 91133 may be formed on the outside of the clamp unit 91131. Thus, the elastic member 91133 can be stably moved.

[0196] On the one hand, the outward force applied to the clamp unit 91131 can be accomplished as follows.

[0197] Reference Figures 11 to 13 , Fig.15 as well as Fig.16 The adsorption module 911 may include a protrusion 9114, which is protruded on one side of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 in the z-axis direction to guide the adjacent clamp 9113 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 to an outward moving state, and the adjacent adsorption module 911 is adjacent in the z-axis direction to be opposite to the adsorption module 911.

[0198] First, the adjacent clamp 9113 is described. The adsorption module 911 of at least one of the first pickup device 41, the second pickup device 42, and the third pickup device 43 can be adjacent to each other in the z-axis direction with the adsorption module 911 of at least one of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2, and the visual table 3. For example, the first pickup device 41 can be adjacently arranged in the z-axis direction so that one side of its adsorption module 911 is opposite to one side of the adsorption module 911 of the package cutting device 1. In this case, the adsorption module 911 of the first pickup device 41 and the adsorption module 911 of the package cutting device 1 can each become adjacent adsorption modules 911 to each other. In addition, the second pickup device 42 can be adjacently arranged in the z-axis direction so that one side of its adsorption module 911 is opposite to one side of the adsorption module 911 of the package cutting device 1. In this case, the adsorption module 911 of the second pickup device 42 and the adsorption module 911 of the package cutting device 1 can each become adjacent adsorption modules 911 to each other. In addition, the second pickup device 42 can be arranged adjacent to each other in the z-axis direction so that one side of its adsorption module 911 is opposite to one side of the adsorption module 911 of the drying device 2. In this case, the adsorption module 911 of the second pickup device 42 and the adsorption module 911 of the drying device 2 can each become adjacent adsorption modules 911 to each other. In addition, the third pickup device 43 can be arranged adjacent to each other in the z-axis direction so that one side of its adsorption module 911 is opposite to one side of the adsorption module 911 of the drying device 2. In this case, the adsorption module 911 of the third pickup device 43 and the adsorption module 911 of the drying device 2 can each become adjacent adsorption modules 911 to each other. In addition, the third pickup device 43 can be arranged adjacent to each other in the z-axis direction so that one side of its adsorption module 911 is opposite to one side of the adsorption module 911 of the visual stage 3. In this case, the adsorption module 911 of the third pickup device 43 and the adsorption module 911 of the visual stage 3 can each become adjacent adsorption modules 911 to each other.

[0199] Thus, the picking part 4 can be configured so that its adsorption module 911 is opposite to the adsorption modules 911 of the packaging cutting equipment 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3, which may mean that the adsorption module 911 of at least one of the first pickup 41, the second pickup 42 and the third pickup 43 and at least one of the adsorption modules 911 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 can be adjacently arranged in the z-axis direction as described above.

[0200] In addition, the protrusion 9114 may be formed at a position corresponding to the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent clamp 9113 in the z-axis direction. This may mean that when the adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 are opposite to each other in the z-axis direction, the protrusion 9114 is formed to be opposite to the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911. Thus, the adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 may have the same or corresponding structures as each other, but when the adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 are opposite to each other in the Z-axis, the protrusion 91114 and the clamp unit 91131 of the adsorption module may be staggered with the protrusion 9114 and the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module so that the protrusion 91114 of the adsorption module 911 is opposite to the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911, and the clamp unit 91131 of the adsorption module 911 is opposite to the protrusion 9114 of the adjacent adsorption module 911. For reference, as described above, the adsorption modules 911 of the first to third picking devices 41 , 42 , and 43 can be adjacent to the adsorption modules 911 of the package cutting device 1 , the drying device 2 , and the visual station 3 .

[0201] In addition, refer to Fig.13 as well as Fig.16 , a guide groove 911312 may be formed on the inner side of the protrusion 911319 of the clamp unit 91131 for guiding the adjacent adsorption module 911 to enter the inner side of the protrusion 9114. In addition, the protrusion 9114 may have a wedge shape. Thus, when the adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 approach each other in the z-axis direction in a state where they are relative to each other, the protrusion 911 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 may enter the guide groove 911312, and the protrusion 9114 may enter the guide groove 911312 of the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911. Thus, as the adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 approach each other by rising and falling, the amount of entry of the protrusion 911 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 into the inner side of the clamp unit 91131 of the adsorption module 911 increases. The protrusion 9114 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 is increased, thereby the clamp unit 91131 moves outward through the contact between the protrusion 9114 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 and the inner surface inclined surface of the guide groove 911312 of the adsorption module 911. As the amount of entry of the protrusion 9114 of the adsorption module 911 into the inner side of the clamp unit 91131 of the adsorption module 911 increases, the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 can also move outward through the contact between the protrusion 9114 of the adsorption module 911 and the inner surface inclined surface of the guide groove 911312 of the adjacent adsorption module 911. As a result, the clamp 9113 of the adsorption module 911 and the clamp 9113 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 can be released from the clamping state.

[0202] Therefore, when the second and third picking devices 42 and 43 come into contact with the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 in order to configure or remove the conversion kit 9111 from the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3, the clamp unit 91131 of the second and third picking devices 42 and 43, the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 becomes in an outward moving state, so that the conversion kit 9111 can be configured and removed.

[0203] Or, according to another embodiment of the present invention, referring to Fig. 20 , the clamp unit 91131 can be moved outward by the cylinder 9116. Fig. 20 , an extension portion 911318 extending inwardly may be formed on the other side of the z-axis of the clamp unit 91131, and a cylinder 9116 may be provided on the other side of the z-axis of the extension portion 911318. The cylinder 9116 can be driven in the z-axis direction, and when the cylinder 9116 moves toward one side of the z-axis and applies an external force toward one side of the z-axis to the extension portion 911318, at least a portion of the extension portion 911318 moves toward one side of the z-axis, and the clamp unit 91131 rotates, thereby being converted into an outward moving state.

[0204] Therefore, when the first picking device 41 picks up the conversion kit 9111 from the loading and unloading device or the packaging cutting device 1, the clamp unit 91131 becomes an outer moving state, so that the conversion kit 9111 can be vacuum adsorbed, and when the first picking device 41 places the conversion kit 9111 on the loading and unloading device, the clamp 9113 of the first picking device 41 is released from the clamping of the conversion kit 9111 by the cylinder, thereby completing the placement of the conversion kit 9111, and when the first picking device 41 places the conversion kit 9111 on the packaging cutting device 1, the clamp 9113 of the first picking device 41 is released from the clamping of the conversion kit 9111 by the cylinder, and the clamp 9113 of the packaging cutting device 1 is converted into an outer moving state through the protrusion 9114 of the first picking device 41, thereby allowing the conversion kit 9111 to be placed on the packaging cutting device 1.

[0205] In order to place or remove the conversion kit 9111 from the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 and approach the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3, the second and third picking devices 42, 43, the clamping unit 91131 of the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 becomes an outward moving state, so that the conversion kit 9111 can be configured and removed.

[0206] In addition, for example, in the suction modules 911 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2, the visual stage 3, the second picker 42, and the third picker 43, the outer movement state of the clamp unit 91131 can be guided by the protrusion 91114 of the adjacent suction module 911. In addition, in the suction module 911 of the first picker 41, the clamp unit 91131 can be guided to the outer movement state by the cylinder 9116. This is because the first picker 41 can pick up the conversion kit 9111 from the loading and unloading device, but it is difficult to form the protrusion 9114 on the guide rail (not shown) on which the conversion kit 9111 is taken out from the loading and unloading device and placed.

[0207] In addition, refer to Figure 12a to Figure 12d as well as Fig.16 , the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 may include a plurality of first protrusions 91123 protruding toward one side in the Z-axis direction. Figure 12a to Figure 12d and Fig.16 When the first protrusion 91123 of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43 and the first protrusion 91123 of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 can be formed at different positions from each other. For example, the first protrusion 91123 can be formed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43, the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 respectively so that the line connecting the pair of first protrusions 91123 of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43 and the line connecting the pair of first protrusions 91123 of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 are staggered with each other. In addition, referring to Fig.11 as well as Fig.15, a plurality of holes 91112 for inserting at least a portion of the first protrusion 91123 may be formed in the conversion kit 9111. The holes 91112 may be formed at positions corresponding to the pair of first protrusions 91123 of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 911 of the first to third pickup devices 41, 42, 43 and the pair of first protrusions 91123 of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2, and the visual stage 3. Thus, the holes 91112 may be formed in four numbers, and when the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 of the first to third pickup devices 41, 42, 43 approaches the conversion kit 9111 to place or pick up the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2, and the visual stage 3, the two pairs of first protrusions 91123 may be inserted into the four holes 91112 respectively. The conversion kit 9111 can be positioned and held or even placed (configured) in the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 by the engagement of the first protrusion 91123 and the hole 91112. In addition, for reference, the hole 91112 can be formed in a form that penetrates in the z-axis direction, or can be formed in the edge in the form of a groove that is recessed from the outside to the inside of the conversion kit 9111.

[0208] In addition, refer to Fig.15 as well as Fig.18 , the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 of the first to third pickup devices 41, 42, 43 may include a second protrusion 91126 protruding toward one side in the Z-axis direction. Fig.11 as well as Fig.13 , the negative pressure transfer plate structure 911 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual stage 3 may include a hole 91116 for inserting at least a portion of the second protrusion 91126. Thus, when the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43 configure the conversion kit 9111 relative to the adsorption module 911, or when the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43 load a plurality of packages on the conversion kit 9111 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual stage 3, the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the first to third picking devices 41, 42, 43 can be guided to the positive position and configured by the insertion of the second protrusion 91126 and the hole 91116, and the conversion kit 9111 can be placed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual stage 3, or a plurality of packages can be accurately placed on the conversion kit 9111 of the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual stage 3.

[0209] As described above, in this second system, the conversion kit 9111 is installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 by vacuum adsorption of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 to automatically replace the conversion kit 9111. The detachable state of the conversion kit 9111 and the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9111 can be automatically formed by adjusting whether vacuum adsorption is formed. When the vacuum adsorption is released and the detachable state is formed, the conversion kit 9111 can be removed by vacuum adsorption of the picking device. The picking device can place the conversion kit 9111. When a new conversion kit 9111 is placed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112, vacuum adsorption can be performed again, thereby automatically fixing the conversion kit 9111 on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112.

[0210] In addition, the adsorption module 911 of the second system includes a clamp 9113, which physically clamps the conversion kit 9111, and when the clamp approaches the adjacent adsorption module 911 in the Z-axis direction, the clamp is released through the protrusion 9114 of the adjacent adsorption module 911, thereby improving the bonding force between the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 and the conversion kit 9111. When the conversion kit 9111 is configured or removed relative to the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112, the clamp of the conversion kit 9111 can be released, so that the conversion kit 9111 can be removed. Therefore, even if the vacuum adsorption is interrupted due to an unexpected problem, the conversion kit 9111 can be prevented from accidentally falling off from the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112.

[0211] In addition, when air is supplied to the inside of the vacuum hole without being clamped by the clamp 9113, the conversion kit 9111 may be tilted or moved on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112. According to the first adsorption module, since the conversion kit 9111 is clamped by the clamp 9113 and fixed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112, the above-mentioned problem can be prevented from occurring.

[0212] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, identification information may be marked on the conversion kit 9111 to identify information related to the conversion kit 9111 (for example, size information of the packaging placement portion of the conversion kit 9111 according to the packaging size, and the type of conversion kit 9111 suitable for each workbench module), and the first picking module 41 may be provided with a sensor for scanning the identification information. The first picking module 41 may determine that the conversion kit 9111 taken out from the loading and unloading device is a reasonable conversion kit 9111 through the scanning of the sensor, and then pick up the conversion kit 9111; if it is an unreasonable conversion kit 9111, picking up is stopped.

[0213] In addition, as described above, the conversion kit 9111 can pick up the conversion kit 9111 taken out from the loading and unloading device and placed on the guide rail (not shown). When the conversion kit 9111 is placed on the guide rail at an angle staggered from the correct position, the first picking module 41 can rotate to clamp the conversion kit 9111 configured at the staggered angle, thereby transferring the conversion kit 9111 to have a correct position.

[0214] The following describes an adsorption module according to an embodiment of the present invention applied in the above-mentioned second system (hereinafter referred to as "the first adsorption module"). However, in the description of the first adsorption module, the same figure marks are used for the same or similar structures as those described in the above-mentioned second system and the second adsorption module described later, and repeated descriptions will be simplified or omitted.

[0215] The first adsorption module 911 includes a conversion kit 9111, and the conversion kit has a plurality of vacuum holes 91111 formed in the Z-axis direction.

[0216] In addition, the first adsorption module 911 includes a negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112. A conversion kit 9111 is disposed on one surface of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 in the Z-axis direction, and a vacuum hole 91111 connecting the negative pressure generator and the conversion kit 9111.

[0217] In addition, the first adsorption module 911 includes a clamp 9113. At least a portion of the clamp 9113 is protruded toward one side of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 in the Z-axis direction, so that the conversion kit 9111 can be clamped in the basic state.

[0218] In addition, the first adsorption module 911 includes a protrusion 9114. At least a portion of the protrusion 9114 is protruded toward the Z-axis side of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112, and guides the adjacent clamp 9113 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 to the outer movement state. Among them, the adjacent adsorption module 911 may refer to the adsorption module 911 adjacent to the Z-axis so as to be opposite to the adsorption module 911. In addition, the protrusion 9114 may be formed at a position corresponding to the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 9114.

[0219] In addition, the clamp 9113 may include a clamp unit 91131, at least a portion of which protrudes from one side of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 in the z-axis direction, forming a protrusion 911319 protruding inward toward the part where the conversion kit 9111 is configured.

[0220] In addition, the clamp 9113 may include a hinge unit 91132, which enables the clamp unit 91131 to rotate around the length direction of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112.

[0221] In addition, the clamp 9113 may include an elastic member 91133 that provides an external force to the clamp unit 9113 toward the inside (toward the direction of the conversion kit 9111).

[0222] In addition, a recessed portion 91119 that can be latched and coupled with the protrusion 9111319 of the clamp unit 91131 can be formed on the outside of the conversion kit 9111. The recessed portion 91119 can be formed on the outside of the conversion kit 9111 (the side facing the outside) to be recessed toward the inside. In addition, the recessed portion 91119 can be in the shape of a long hole. In addition, a protrusion that protrudes in the Z-axis direction can be formed on the outer side of the recessed portion 91119 to be latched and coupled with the protrusion 911319 of the clamp unit 91131. The protrusion 911319 of the clamp unit 91131 can be latched and coupled with the protrusion. The clamp unit 91131 can be latched and coupled to the recessed portion 91119 to clamp the conversion kit 9111 in the basic state.

[0223] In addition, a guide groove 911312 may be formed at the inner side of the protrusion 911319 of the clamp unit 91131 to guide the adjacent adsorption module 911 to enter the inner side of the protrusion 9114. In addition, the protrusion 9114 may have a wedge shape.

[0224] Thus, when the adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 approach each other in the z-axis direction, the protrusion 9114 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 may enter the guide groove 911312, and the protrusion 9114 may enter the guide groove 911312 of the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911. Thus, as the adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 approach each other, the amount of entry of the protrusion 9114 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 into the inner side of the clamp unit 91131 of the adsorption module 911 increases, and thus the clamp unit 91131 moves outward. As the amount of entry of the protrusion 9114 of the adsorption module 911 into the inner side of the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 increases, the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 may also move outward. Thus, the clamp 9113 of the adsorption module 911 and the clamp 9113 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 may be in a state of being released from clamping. In addition, when the clamp unit 91131 moves toward the outside, the elastic component 91133 located on the outside of the clamp unit 91131 can be compressed due to the external force toward the outside, and the external force toward the inside can be applied to the clamp unit 91131 due to the elastic restoring force of the elastic component 91133. Therefore, when the external force toward the outside of the clamp unit 91131 becomes lower than the external force toward the inside of the elastic component 91133, the clamp unit 91131 can return to its original position and become a basic state due to the external force applied by the elastic component 91133.

[0225] In addition, in the first adsorption module 911 , the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 can vacuum adsorb the conversion kit 9111 .

[0226] As described above, the first adsorption module installs the conversion kit 9111 on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 through vacuum adsorption of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 to automatically complete the replacement of the conversion kit 9111, and can adjust whether to form vacuum adsorption to automatically form a detachable state of the conversion kit 9111 and the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112. When the vacuum adsorption is released and becomes a detachable state, the conversion kit 9111 can be removed by vacuum adsorption of the picking device. The picking device can place the conversion kit 9111. When a new conversion kit 9111 is placed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112, vacuum adsorption is performed again, so that the conversion kit 9111 can be automatically fixed and installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112.

[0227] In addition, the first adsorption module includes a clamp 9113, which physically clamps the conversion kit 9111, and when the clamp approaches the adjacent adsorption module 911 in the Z-axis direction, the clamp is released through the protrusion 9114 of the adjacent adsorption module 911, thereby improving the bonding force between the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 and the conversion kit 9111. When the conversion kit 9111 is arranged or removed relative to the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112, the clamp of the conversion kit 9111 can be released, so that the conversion kit 9111 can be removed. Therefore, even if the vacuum adsorption is interrupted due to an unexpected problem, the conversion kit 911 can be prevented from accidentally falling off from the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112.

[0228] In addition, when air is supplied to the inside of the vacuum hole without being clamped by the clamp 9113, the conversion kit 9111 may be tilted or moved on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112. According to the first adsorption module, since the conversion kit 9111 is clamped by the clamp 9113 and fixed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112, the above-mentioned problem can be prevented from occurring.

[0229] As described above, the first adsorption module 911 can be applied as the adsorption module 911 of the second picking device 42, the third picking device 43, the packaging cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 of the conversion kit automatic replacement system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0230] In addition, the present invention provides a picking device according to an embodiment of the present invention including the adsorption module 911 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The picking device according to an embodiment of the present invention can be applied as the second picking device 42 and the third picking device 43 of the automatic replacement system for the conversion kit according to an embodiment of the present invention. This has been described above, so the detailed description is omitted.

[0231] In addition, the present invention includes a workbench unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the workbench unit includes the adsorption module 911 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The workbench unit according to an embodiment of the present invention can be applied as the package cutting device 1, the drying device 2 and the visual table 3 of the first or second system of the present invention. In this regard, it has been described above, so the detailed description is omitted.

[0232] The following describes an adsorption module according to a second embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the second adsorption module") applied in the above-mentioned system. However, in the description of the second adsorption module, the same figure marks are used for structures that are the same as or similar to those described in the above-mentioned second system and the first adsorption module, and repeated descriptions will be simplified or omitted.

[0233] The second adsorption module 911 includes a conversion kit 9111, and the conversion kit has a plurality of vacuum holes 91111 formed in the Z-axis direction.

[0234] In addition, the second adsorption module 911 includes a negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112. A conversion kit 9111 is disposed on one surface of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 in the Z-axis direction, and a vacuum hole 91111 connecting the negative pressure generator and the conversion kit 9111.

[0235] In addition, the second adsorption module 911 includes a clamp 9113. At least a portion of the clamp 9113 is protruded toward one side of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 in the Z-axis direction, so that the conversion kit 9111 can be clamped in the basic state.

[0236] In addition, the second adsorption module 911 includes a protrusion 9114. At least a portion of the protrusion 9114 is protruded toward the Z-axis side of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112, and guides the adjacent clamp 9111 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 to an outer moving state. The adjacent adsorption module 911 may refer to an adsorption module 911 adjacent to the Z-axis so as to be opposite to the adsorption module 911. The protrusion 9114 may have a wedge shape.

[0237] Thus, when the adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 approach each other in the z-axis direction, the protrusion 9114 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 may enter the guide groove 911312, and the protrusion 9114 may enter the guide groove 911312 of the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911. Thus, as the adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 approach each other, the amount of entry of the protrusion 9114 of the adsorption module 911 into the inner side of the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 increases, and thus the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 may also move outward. Thus, the clamp 9113 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 may be in a state of being released from clamping.

[0238] In addition, the clamp 9113 may include a clamp unit 91131, at least a portion of which protrudes from one side of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 in the z-axis direction, forming a protrusion 911319 protruding inward toward the part where the conversion kit 9111 is configured.

[0239] In addition, a recessed portion 91119 that can be latched and coupled with the protrusion 9111319 of the clamp unit 91131 can be formed on the outside of the conversion kit 9111. The recessed portion 91119 can be formed on the outside of the conversion kit 9111 (the side facing the outside) to be recessed toward the inside. In addition, the recessed portion 91119 can be in the shape of a long hole. In addition, a protrusion that protrudes in the Z-axis direction can be formed on the outer side of the recessed portion 91119 to be latched and coupled with the protrusion 911319 of the clamp unit 91131. The protrusion 911319 of the clamp unit 91131 can be latched and coupled with the protrusion. The clamp unit 91131 can be latched and coupled to the recessed portion 91119 to clamp the conversion kit 9111 in the basic state.

[0240] In addition, the clamp 9113 may include a hinge unit 91132, which allows the clamp unit 91131 to rotate around the length direction of the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112. By rotating the clamp unit 91131, the clamp 9113 can have an outer movement state or a basic state.

[0241] In addition, in the second adsorption module 911, the clamp 9113 may include a cylinder 9116 for guiding the outer movement state. Specifically, an extension portion extending inwardly may be formed on the other side of the z-axis of the clamp unit 91131, and a cylinder 9116 may be provided on the other side of the z-axis of the extension portion. The cylinder 9116 may be driven in the z-axis direction, and when the cylinder 9116 moves toward one side of the z-axis and applies an external force toward one side of the z-axis to the extension portion, at least a portion of the extension portion moves toward one side of the z-axis, and the clamp unit 91131 rotates, thereby being converted into the outer movement state.

[0242] In addition, the clamp 9113 may include an elastic member 91133 that applies an external force to the clamp unit 9113 toward the inside (toward the direction of the conversion kit 9111). When the clamp unit 91131 moves toward the outside, the elastic member 91133 located on the outside of the clamp unit 91131 may be compressed due to the external force toward the outside, and the external force toward the inside may be applied to the clamp unit 91131 due to the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 91133, thereby, when the external force toward the outside of the clamp unit 91131 becomes less than the external force toward the inside of the elastic member 91133, the clamp unit 91131 may be restored to its original position and become a basic state due to the external force applied by the elastic member 91133.

[0243] That is, the clamp unit 91131 can be rotated by the external force applied by the cylinder 9116, and the end portion on one side in the Z-axis direction moves outward to become an outward moving state. At this time, the elastic member 91133 is compressed by the outward external force due to the outward movement of the clamp unit 91131, and an inward external force can be applied to the clamp unit 91131. In addition, when the outward external force on the clamp unit 91131 becomes less than the inward external force of the elastic member 91133, the clamp unit 91131 can be restored to its original position and become a basic state due to the external force applied by the elastic member 91133.

[0244] On the one hand, the protrusion 9114 can be formed at a position corresponding to the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911. In addition, the clamp unit 91131 can be formed at a position corresponding to the protrusion of the adjacent adsorption module 911. Thus, when the second adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 approach each other in the Z-axis direction, the protrusion 9114 can enter toward the inner side of the clamp unit (the clamp unit 91131 of the adjacent adsorption module 911) and apply an external force toward the outer side to the adjacent clamp unit 91131. More specifically, the protrusion 9114 can enter toward the inner side of the adjacent clamp unit 91131 through the guide groove of the adjacent clamp unit 91131, apply an external force to the adjacent clamp unit 91131, open the end of the adjacent clamp unit 91131 in the Z-axis direction and the conversion kit 9111, and convert the adjacent clamp unit 91131 into an outer movement state.

[0245] On the one hand, as described above, in the second adsorption module 911, the clamp unit 91131 can be converted to the outward moving state by the cylinder 9116. Therefore, the clamp unit 91131 can be formed with a receiving portion 911315 that can receive the protrusion 9114 so that when the second adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 approach each other in the Z-axis direction, the clamp unit 91131 and the protrusion 9114 of the adjacent adsorption module 911 do not interfere with each other. Therefore, even if the second adsorption module 911 and the adjacent adsorption module 911 approach each other in the Z-axis direction, the clamp unit 91131 will not be converted to the outward moving state by the protrusion 9114 of the adjacent adsorption module 911.

[0246] In addition, in the second adsorption module 911 , the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 can vacuum adsorb the conversion kit 9111 .

[0247] As described above, the second adsorption module installs the conversion kit 9111 on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 through vacuum adsorption of the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112 to automatically complete the replacement of the conversion kit 9111, and can adjust whether to form vacuum adsorption to automatically form a detachable state of the conversion kit 9111 and the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112. When the vacuum adsorption is released and becomes a detachable state, the conversion kit 9111 can be removed by vacuum adsorption of the picking device. The picking device can place the conversion kit 9111. When a new conversion kit 9111 is placed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112, vacuum adsorption is restarted, so that the conversion kit 9111 can be automatically fixed and installed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112.

[0248] In addition, the second adsorption module includes a clamp 9113, which physically clamps the conversion kit 9111, and when the clamp approaches the adjacent adsorption module 911 in the Z-axis direction, the clamp is released through the protrusion 9114 of the adjacent adsorption module 911, thereby improving the bonding force between the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112 and the conversion kit 9111. When the conversion kit 9111 is configured or removed relative to the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112, the clamp of the conversion kit 9111 can be released, so that the conversion kit 9111 can be removed. Therefore, even if the vacuum adsorption is interrupted due to an unexpected problem, the conversion kit 911 can be prevented from accidentally falling off from the negative pressure transmission plate structure 9112.

[0249] In addition, when air is supplied to the inside of the vacuum hole without being clamped by the clamp 9113, the conversion kit 9111 may be tilted or moved on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112. According to the first adsorption module, since the conversion kit 9111 is clamped by the clamp 9113 and fixed on the negative pressure transfer plate structure 9112, the above-mentioned problem can be prevented from occurring.

[0250] In addition, the present invention provides a picking device according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes the adsorption module 911 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The picking device according to an embodiment of the present invention can be applied as the first picking device 41 of the automatic replacement system for the conversion kit according to an embodiment of the present invention. This has been described above, so a detailed description is omitted.

[0251] The above description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and a person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs should understand that it can be easily transformed into other specific forms without changing the technical concept or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are examples in all aspects and are not intended to be limiting. For example, each component described as a single type can also be implemented in a dispersed manner, and similarly, the components described in a dispersed manner can also be implemented in a combined form.

[0252] The scope of the present invention should be determined by the claims rather than the specific embodiments described above, and the meaning and scope of the claims should be interpreted, and all changes or modifications derived from their equivalent concepts should be included in the scope of the present invention.
