[0052] In another aspect, the present specification provides a loading device suitable for receiving materials from the material transfer device. Because portions of the loading device's shape match those of the material transfer device, and portions of the material transfer device's shape match those of the material, indirect positioning between the loading device and the material can be conveniently and quickly achieved, and the accuracy and precision of the indirect positioning between the two can be effectively guaranteed. This avoids positional errors when the loading device receives materials from the material transfer device, achieving precise positioning and rapid loading of the materials, facilitating subsequent implementation of corresponding processes, and improving production efficiency.
[0053] On the other hand, the present specification provides a material loading system, including a material transfer device and a carrier.

Since part of the shape of the material transfer device matches the material to be transferred, and another part of the shape of the material transfer device matches the carrier, the material transfer device can be used to conveniently and quickly achieve indirect positioning between the material and the carrier, and effectively guarantee the accuracy and precision of the indirect positioning between the two.

[0074] It can be understood that the above embodiments are merely illustrative, and no specific limitation is imposed on the shapes of the first loading component and the first positioning component in actual applications.
[0075] In a specific implementation, according to the shape of the material, the first positioning component can be set at the edge of the first carrier component or located in the first carrier component.

For another example, referring to Figure 5 , the first positioning component 52 is located in the middle of the first object carrying component 51. This specification does not impose any specific limitation on this.
[0076] In a specific implementation, depending on the shape of the material, the portion of the first positioning component that contacts the material may be at the same level or at different levels as the portion of the first carrying component that contacts the material. Figure 1c ,for Figure 1a In the schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the material transfer device shown in FIG, the portion of the first positioning component 12 that contacts the material is higher than the portion of the first carrying component that contacts the material. Figure 5 The portion of the first positioning member 52 that contacts the material and the portion of the first loading member that contacts the material are on the same horizontal plane.

[0077] In a specific implementation, the material transfer device may further include a handle. Figures 1a to 5 The material transfer devices 10 to 50 include handles 13 to 53 respectively.
[0078] Furthermore, according to the manufacturing process of the material transfer device, the handle may be connected to at least one of the first carrying component and the first positioning component.

Specifically, the material transfer device can have a first groove on its surface and a first channel inside thereof, the first groove communicating with the first channel. By extracting air from the first groove and the first channel, adsorption force can be provided for the material.
[0080] The arrangement positions of the first groove and the first channel in the material transfer device can be set according to specific application scenarios and requirements.

[0081] It should be noted that the material transfer device may actually further include other components, such as a first air extraction mechanism, a first air circuit switch component, a first tube body, etc. This specification does not impose any specific restrictions on this.
[0082] In a specific implementation, in order to increase the contact surface between the material and the first groove of the material transfer device and provide a uniform adsorption force, the surface of the material transfer device may be provided with a grid-shaped first groove. Figure 1a As shown, the first groove 14 is in a grid shape.
[0083] It is understood that the above examples are merely illustrative. In actual applications, those skilled in the art can adaptively select and / or modify the material transfer device provided in the embodiments of this specification based on actual needs and application scenarios. For example, the number of some components in the material transfer device can be changed. For another example, the size of some components in the material transfer device can be adjusted. For another example, the structure of some components in the material transfer device can be replaced with the same. Based on this, more implementation plans of the material transfer device can be extended, and the embodiments of this specification do not limit these extension plans.
[0084] In specific implementation, Figure 1a The figure is a schematic diagram of the planar structure of a material transfer device provided in an embodiment of this specification. In this example, Figure 1a The material transfer device 10 shown may include a first carrying component 11 and a first positioning component 12 .
[0085] In specific implementation, Figure 6a FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a loading device provided in an embodiment of this specification. In this example, Figure 6a The object carrying device 60 shown may include a second object carrying component 61 and a second positioning component 62 .
[0086] The second carrying component 61 is suitable for receiving the material. The second positioning component 62 has a shape that matches the material transfer device.
[0087] In specific implementations, the shape of the second positioning member can be configured based on the shape of the material transfer device in a specific application scenario, so that the second positioning member can conform to the shape of the material transfer device in multiple directions. The second carrier member can include at least one of a convex portion and a concave portion. This specification does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0088] For example, continue to refer to Figure 6a The portion of the second positioning component 62 indicated by the arrow 62a may include an arc-shaped convex portion. According to the arc-shaped convex portion of the second positioning component 62, the second positioning component 62 can be shaped to fit with the material transfer device in multiple directions such as the horizontal and vertical directions.
[0089] For example, refer to Figure 7a , is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of another object carrying device provided in an embodiment of this specification. In this example, Figure 7a The material transfer device 70 shown may include: a second carrier component 71 and a second positioning component 72. The first carrier component 71 is suitable for receiving materials. The second positioning component 72 may have a shape that matches the material transfer device.
[0090] Specifically, the second positioning component 72 may include an arcuate convex portion and a straight portion. According to the arcuate convex portion and the straight portion of the second loading component 71, the second positioning component 72 can be matched with the material transfer device in multiple directions such as horizontal and vertical directions.
[0091] For example, refer to Figure 8 , is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of another object carrying device provided in an embodiment of this specification. In this example, Figure 8 The material transfer device 80 shown may include: a second carrier component 81 and a second positioning component 82. The first carrier component 81 is suitable for receiving materials. The second positioning component 82 may have a shape that matches the material transfer device.
[0092] Specifically, the second positioning component 82 may include a polygonal convex portion. According to the polygonal convex portion of the second carrying component 81 , the second positioning component 82 may be shaped to fit with the material transfer device in multiple directions such as the horizontal and vertical directions.
[0093] For example, refer to Figure 9 , is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of another object carrying device provided in an embodiment of this specification. In this example, Figure 9 The material transfer device 90 shown may include: a second carrier component 91 and a second positioning component 92. The first carrier component 91 is suitable for receiving materials. The second positioning component 92 may have a shape that matches the material transfer device.
[0094] Specifically, the second positioning component 92 may include a polygonal concave portion, and according to the polygonal convex portion of the second carrying component 91, the second positioning component 92 can be matched with the material transfer device in multiple directions such as horizontal and vertical directions.
[0095] It can be understood that the above embodiments are merely illustrative and do not impose any specific limitation on the shape of the second positioning component in actual application.
[0096] In specific implementations, the positional relationship and connection relationship between the second positioning component and the second carrier can be determined based on the specific application scenario and material placement requirements. For example, the second positioning component can be positioned at the edge of the second carrier or within the second carrier. In another example, the second positioning component can be interlocked with the second carrier, or the second positioning component can be connected to the second carrier in a liftable manner. This specification does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0097] For example, continue to refer to Figure 6a The second positioning member 62 is engaged with the edge of the second carrier member 61, thereby forming a slot at the edge of the second positioning member 62. The material transfer device can move within the second positioning member 62 and stop moving after engaging the second positioning member 62. Therefore, the second positioning member 62 can determine the stopping position of the material transfer device.
[0098] For example, continue to refer to Figure 7a , the second positioning component 72 is located in the second carrying component 71 and is suitable for performing lifting motion relative to the second carrying component 72. Figure 7a In the embodiment, the second positioning member 72 is in an extended state. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. Figure 7b As shown, the second positioning member 72 is in the reset state. The material transfer device can fit the second positioning member 72 in the extended state during movement and stop moving. Thus, the stop position of the material transfer device can be determined by the second positioning member 72 in the extended state.
[0099] It can be understood that the above embodiments are merely illustrative, and no specific limitation is imposed on the positional relationship and connection relationship between the second positioning component and the second loading component in actual applications.
[0100] In a specific implementation, the second positioning component embedded in the second loading component has openings on two adjacent sides. Figure 6a The second positioning component 62 has openings on its top and sides to facilitate the material transfer device to enter and exit the second positioning component.
[0101] In a specific implementation, the second positioning member that moves up and down relative to the second carrying member can receive the material when in an extended state. Figure 7a and Figure 7b When the second positioning component 72 is in the extended state, it can receive the material from the material transfer device. Therefore, after the second positioning component 72 is lowered, the material can be placed on the second loading component 71.
[0102] In a specific implementation, the material transfer device may further include a limiting component adapted to limit the movement range of the material in the second carrying component, thereby preventing the material from accidentally sliding off. Figure 6a The material transfer device 60 may include a limiting component 63-1 and a limiting component 63-2. Thus, the material is confined between the limiting component 63-1 and the limiting component 63-2.
[0103] In a specific implementation, the material can be fixed to the carrier through adsorption, thereby facilitating the execution of the corresponding process. Specifically, the carrier can have a second groove on its surface and a second channel inside, with the second groove communicating with the second channel. By extracting air from the second groove and the second channel, adsorption force can be provided for the material.
[0104] In a specific implementation, the arrangement of the second grooves in the object-carrying device can be set according to the second positioning component, and this specification does not impose any specific limitation on this.
[0105] For example, reference Figure 6a The surface of the second carrier part 61 of the material transfer device 60 is provided with a plurality of second grooves (not marked in the figure); some of the second grooves are in the shape of a segment of a circle on the surface of the second carrier part 61, and the remaining second grooves are in the shape of a circle on the surface of the second carrier part 61. Each second groove has the same center, and adjacent grooves are connected to each other.
[0106] For example, reference Figure 6a The surface of the second carrier part 61 of the material transfer device 60 is provided with multiple second grooves (not marked in the figure); some of the second grooves are in a circular shape on the surface, and the remaining second grooves are in a circular shape on the surface. Each second groove has the same center, and adjacent grooves are connected to each other.
[0107] For example, refer to Figure 7a The surface of the second carrier component 71 of the material transfer device 70 is provided with a plurality of second grooves (not shown in the figure); the plurality of second grooves surround the second positioning component 72 and are circular in shape on the surface of the second carrier component 71, each second groove has the same center, and adjacent grooves are connected to each other.
[0108] In a specific implementation, the arrangement of the second channels in the object carrying device can be set according to specific application scenarios and requirements, and this specification does not impose any specific restrictions on this.
[0109] For example, reference Figure 6a and Figure 6b The second channel is arranged inside the second carrier component 61, communicated with multiple second grooves, and an opening 6a is provided on the surface of the second carrier component 61.
[0110] It should be noted that the object carrying device may actually further include other components, such as a second air extraction mechanism, a second air path switch component, a second tube, etc. This specification does not impose any specific restrictions on this.
[0111] It is understood that the above examples are merely illustrative. In actual applications, those skilled in the art can adaptively select and / or modify the object-carrying device provided in the embodiments of this specification based on actual needs and application scenarios. For example, the number of components in the object-carrying device can be changed. For another example, the size of components in the object-carrying device can be adjusted. For another example, the structure of components in the object-carrying device can be replaced with equivalent components. Based on this, more implementation schemes of the object-carrying device can be extended, and the embodiments of this specification do not limit these extended schemes.
[0112] According to the above description of the material transfer device and the carrier, in a specific implementation, the material loading system can adopt a material transfer device and a carrier with matching shapes. When the carrier receives the material from the material transfer device, it can conveniently and quickly realize indirect positioning between the material and the carrier, avoid position errors, realize accurate positioning and rapid loading of materials, facilitate the subsequent implementation of corresponding processes, and improve production efficiency.
[0113] In an alternative example, if Figure 10 The figure is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of a material loading system provided in the embodiment of this specification, and is combined with reference to Figures 1a to 1c as well as Figure 6a and Figure 6b ,exist Figure 10 The material loading system S1 shown may include a material transfer device 10 and a material carrier 60. The specific structures, connection relationships and principles of the material transfer device 10 and the material carrier 60 can be found in the above descriptions and will not be repeated here.
[0114] The first loading component 11 of the material transfer device 10 can receive the material WL1, and the first positioning component 12 matches the shape of the material WL1. Figure 10The area B1 in FIG. 1 is enlarged so that it can be seen more intuitively and clearly that the arc-shaped protrusion of the first positioning component 12 fits in with the notch a1 of the material WL1 .
[0115] After the first positioning member 12 matches the shape of the material WL1 , the first air circuit switch member 16 of the material transfer device 10 is opened and the first air extraction mechanism (not shown) is activated to fix the material WL1 by adsorption.
[0116] The second positioning member 62 of the carrier 60 accommodates the first carrier 11. The convex and flat portions of the second positioning member 62 match the concave and flat portions of the first carrier 11. After the first carrier 11 enters and engages with the second positioning member 62, the material transfer device 10 stops moving. Furthermore, the limiting members 63-1 and 63-2 restrict the movement of the material WL1 within the second carrier 61.
[0117] The material transfer device 10 releases the material WL1, opens the second air circuit switch component (not shown) of the loading device 60, and activates the second air extraction mechanism (not shown) to fix the material WL1 by suction. Thus, the transfer of the material WL1 is completed, and the subsequent process can be carried out.
[0118] In another alternative example, Figure 11 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of another material loading system provided in the embodiment of this specification, and is combined with reference to FIG. Figure 3 、 Figure 7a and Figure 7b ,exist Figure 11 The material loading system S2 shown may include a material transfer device 30 and a material loading device 70. The specific structures, connection relationships and principles of the material transfer device 30 and the material loading device 70 can be referred to the above related descriptions and will not be repeated here.
[0119] The first loading component 31 of the material transfer device 30 can receive the material WL2, and the polygonal concave portion of the first positioning component 32 can match the circular shape of the material WL2. Figure 11 The area C1 in FIG. 3 is enlarged so that it can be seen more intuitively and clearly that the flat edge in the polygonal recess of the first positioning component 32 fits in with the flat edge (notch) b1 of the material WL1 .
[0120] After the first positioning member 12 matches the shape of the material WL2 , the first air circuit switch member 34 of the material transfer device 30 is opened and the first air extraction mechanism (not shown) is activated to fix the material WL2 by adsorption.
[0121] The second positioning member 72 of the loading device 70 can be raised and lowered relative to the second loading member 71. The convex and flat portions of the second positioning member 72 are shaped to match the concave and flat portions of the first loading member 31. The first loading member 31 stops moving after it conforms to the shape of the extended second positioning member 72. The first loading member 31 releases the material WL2, placing it on top of the second positioning member 72. The second positioning member 72 then descends, bringing the material WL2 with it, placing it on the second loading member 71.
[0122] The material transfer device 30 releases the material WL2, opens the second air circuit switch component (not shown) of the loading device 70, and activates the second air extraction mechanism (not shown) to fix the material WL2 by suction. Thus, the transfer of the material WL2 is completed, and the subsequent process can be carried out.
