It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. In addition, it should be noted that, for the sake of description, only parts related to the present invention rather than all structures are shown in the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 , the annular automatic assembly platform of the present invention includes a plurality of accommodating components 100 for placing materials, at least one linear section for driving the accommodating components 100 to move, two return sections for changing the moving direction of the accommodating components 100 to enable the accommodating components 100 to flow back, and a loading platform 400 for installing processing tools for processing the materials on the accommodating components 100; the linear section includes a linear transmission mechanism 200, and the return section includes a return component 300;

[0038] The two return sections are located at both ends of the linear section, the two return components 300 are correspondingly connected to both ends of the linear transmission mechanism 200, a plurality of accommodating components 100 are slidably located on the linear transmission mechanism 200 and the return components 300, the loading platform 400 is arranged on the linear section, the two return components 300 are connected to the linear transmission mechanism 200 to form a closed-loop structure, the closed-loop structure is arranged around the loading platform 400, and the accommodating components 100 move along the closed-loop structure.

[0039] Among them, the accommodating component 100 can be equipped with or other devices, etc. The accommodating component 100 maintains linear transmission on the linear transmission mechanism 200, so as to realize automatic operation. When the accommodating component 100 moves to the end of the linear transmission mechanism 200, the accommodating component 100 passes through the return component 300 to change the moving direction, and then returns to the linear transmission mechanism 200 to continue moving. Furthermore, the two return components 300 realize the automatic return action of the accommodating components 100 on the linear transmission mechanism 200, so that the accommodating components 100 can keep reciprocating on the linear transmission mechanism 200;

[0040] Specifically, the linear conveying mechanism 200 is a straight line segment, and the reflux component 300 is a reflux segment. The number of the linear conveying mechanisms 200 can be multiple, and the user can freely set the number of the linear conveying mechanisms 200 according to actual production needs. Moreover, only two reflux components 300 are required to be arranged at the two ends of the linear conveying mechanism 200 to realize the automatic reflux action of the accommodating component 100.

[0041] In this embodiment, the linear conveying mechanism 200 includes a first frame 210, a loading platform 400 for driving a robot to transport materials, two linear slide rails 220 and a linear drive assembly 230 for driving the accommodating assembly 100 to move on the linear conveying mechanism 200. The linear drive assembly 230 is arranged in the first frame 210, and the linear slide rails 220 and the loading platform 400 are both installed on the first frame 210.

[0042] Among them, the first bracket plays a role of fixed support for each structure on the linear transmission mechanism 200, the loading platform 400 can realize the reciprocating movement of the external robot in the longitudinal and vertical directions, the linear slide rail 220 is used to make the accommodating component 100 move on the linear transmission mechanism 200, and the linear drive component 230 is used to provide power for the movement of multiple accommodating components 100 on the linear transmission mechanism 200.

[0043] In this embodiment, the reflux assembly 300 includes a second frame 310, a reflux slide rail 320, a reflux toggle portion 330, a reflux drive motor 340 for driving the reflux toggle portion 330 to move, a reflux support frame 350 and a reflux drive cylinder 360. The reflux support frame 350 is fixedly connected in the second frame 310, the reflux slide rail 320 is fixedly connected to the second frame 310, the reflux drive cylinder 360 is installed on the side wall of the reflux support frame 350, the output end of the reflux drive cylinder 360 is connected to the reflux drive motor 340, and the output end of the reflux drive motor 340 extends out of the second frame 310 and is connected to the reflux toggle portion 330.

[0044] The second frame 310 plays a role of fixed support for the entire reflux assembly 300. The reflux slide rail 320 is used for the accommodating assembly 100 to move on the reflux slide rail 320 when the accommodating assembly 100 changes direction when it moves to the end of the linear transmission mechanism 200, thereby realizing the reflux action of the accommodating assembly 100. When the accommodating assembly 100 returns to the linear transmission mechanism 200 again, the movement direction of the accommodating assembly 100 changes, and the reflux slide rail 320 is a semicircular structure.

[0045] Specifically, when the accommodating component 100 moves to the end on the linear transmission mechanism 200, the reflux drive cylinder 360 enters the working state, so that the reflux drive cylinder 360 drives the reflux drive motor 340 to move vertically upward, so that the reflux drive motor 340 drives the reflux toggle part 330 to move vertically upward, so that the reflux toggle part 330 abuts against the accommodating component 100, so that the accommodating component 100 is lifted up a certain distance on the linear slide rail 220 of the linear transmission mechanism 200, and then , the reflux drive motor 340 enters the working state, so that the reflux drive motor 340 drives the reflux toggle part 330 to make a semi-circular motion, so that the accommodating component 100 moves a semicircle on the reflux slide rail 320, and then abuts against the other linear slide rail 220 of the linear transmission mechanism 200, and then, the reflux drive cylinder 360 drives the reflux drive motor 340 to move downward, and the reflux drive motor 340 drives the reflux toggle part 330 to move downward, so that the accommodating component 100 completes the reversing motion.

[0046] In this embodiment, the return rail 320 is an arc-shaped structure, and two ends of the return rail 320 are respectively connected to the same side of two linear rails 220 on the linear transmission mechanism 200 .

[0047] The conveying directions of the accommodating components 100 moving in the two linear slide rails 220 are exactly opposite, thereby ensuring that the accommodating components 100 can drive the materials or external equipment to move back and forth on the linear conveying mechanism 200 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the accommodating assembly 100 includes a accommodating plate 110, a transfer plate 120, a plurality of pulleys 130, a limiting portion 140, a limiting rod 150 and an engaging strip 160. The transfer plate 120 is installed on one side of the accommodating plate 110, and a plurality of pulleys 130 are installed on one side of the transfer plate 120, and a plurality of pulleys 130 abut against the linear slide rail 220. A limiting portion 140 is arranged between the plurality of pulleys 130, and the limiting portion 140 abuts against the linear slide rail 220. The limiting rod 150 is slidably connected to the transfer plate 120, and an end of the limiting rod 150 is fixedly connected to the engaging strip 160, and the other side of the engaging strip 160 is connected to the output end of the linear drive assembly 230.

[0049] Among them, the upper side of the accommodating plate 110 is used to install various materials, and multiple pulleys 130 are in contact with the linear slide rail 220 on the linear transmission mechanism 200, so as to facilitate the entire accommodating assembly 100 to slide on the linear slide rail 220. There are two limiting parts 140, and the limiting parts 140 are engaged with the linear slide rail 220 to ensure that the transfer plate 120 can slide smoothly on the linear slide rail 220. The limiting rod 150 connects the transfer plate 120 with the meshing strip 160, and the limiting rod 150 can slide vertically on the transfer plate 120, so as to ensure that the transfer plate 120 can slide smoothly on the linear slide rail 220.

[0050] It is convenient for the engaging strip 160 to be separated from the linear driving assembly 230, so as to facilitate the separation of the overall accommodating assembly 100 from the linear driving assembly 230. Moreover, the engaging strip 160 is meshed and connected with the structure on the linear driving assembly 230, so that the linear driving assembly 230 can drive the engaging strip 160 to move, and thus the linear driving assembly 230 can drive the entire accommodating assembly 100 to move on the linear conveying mechanism 200. The linear slide rail 220 passes through between the two side pulleys 130. At the same time, the limiting portion 140 limits the linear slide rail 220, and the pulley 130 slides on the linear slide rail 220, so that the entire accommodating assembly 100 moves on the linear slide rail 220.

[0051] In this embodiment, the loading platform 400 includes a protection frame 410, a Y-direction driving device 420 and a Z-direction driving device 430. The protection frame 410 is installed on the first frame 210, the Y-direction driving device 420 is installed on the protection frame 410, and the output end of the Y-direction driving device 420 is connected to the Z-direction driving device 430.

[0052] Among them, the protection frame 410 plays a role in supporting the Y-direction driving device 420. The Y-direction driving device 420 can be a driving mode of a cylinder. The Y-direction driving device 420 drives the Z-direction driving device 430 to reciprocate longitudinally. The driving mode of the Z-direction driving device 430 can also be a cylinder. The output end of the Z-direction driving device 430 can be connected to an external manipulator. Thus, under the mutual cooperation of the Y-direction driving device 420 and the Z-direction driving device 430, the reciprocating movement of the external manipulator in the longitudinal and vertical directions is realized, and further the external manipulator can process the materials on different accommodating assemblies 100. Of course, when the external manipulator is installed on the Z-direction driving device 430, they can be arranged staggeredly or side by side (the staggered arrangement means that one of the external processing devices faces one side of the linear slide rail 220, and the other faces the linear slide rail 220 on the other side) to meet the high-efficiency transfer of the materials. At the same time, not only an external manipulator can be installed on the output end of the Z-direction driving device 430, but also devices such as a welding torch and a screwdriver can be installed according to process requirements to process the materials on the accommodating assembly 100;

[0053] Moreover, devices such as an external manipulator, a welding torch or a screwdriver can also be directly installed on the loading platform 400, that is, they do not solely rely on the Z-direction driving device 430 and the Y-direction driving device 420. The external manipulator, the welding torch or the screwdriver can be installed on the protection frame 410 of the loading platform 400 by brackets.

[0054] In this embodiment, the linear drive assembly 230 includes a baffle 231, a first support platform 232, a second support platform 233, a first driven wheel 234, a second driven wheel 235, a conveyor belt 236, a linear drive motor 237, a driving wheel 238, and a plurality of tension wheels 239. The baffle 231 is installed in the first frame 210. The first support platform 232 and the second support platform 233 are both arranged on one side of the baffle 231. The first driven wheel 234 is rotatably installed at the end of the first support platform 232, and the second driven wheel 235 is rotatably installed at the end of the second support platform 233. The linear drive motor 237 is installed in the first frame 210, and the output end of the linear drive motor 237 is connected to the driving wheel 238. The plurality of tension wheels 239 are also installed in the first frame 210. The conveyor belt 236 is connected between the first driven wheel 234, the second driven wheel 235, the driving wheel 238, and the plurality of tension wheels 239.

[0055] Among them, the first support platform 232 plays a role in supporting the first driven wheel 234, and the second support platform 233 plays a role in supporting the second driven wheel 235. When the linear drive assembly 230 needs to drive the accommodating assembly 100 to move on the linear conveying mechanism 200, first, the linear drive motor 237 enters the working state. Then, the linear drive motor 237 drives the driving wheel 238 to rotate, so that the driving wheel 238 drives the conveyor belt 236 to rotate

[0056] between the first driven wheel 234, the second driven wheel 235, and the plurality of tension wheels 239, so that the conveyor belt 236 drives the engaging strip 160 in the accommodating assembly 100 to move together, and further drives the accommodating assembly 100 to move together. Moreover, the arrangement of the plurality of tension wheels 239 can maintain the tension of the conveyor belt 236, thus ensuring the stability of the rotation of the conveyor belt 236.

[0057] In this embodiment, a positioning assembly for positioning the accommodating assembly 100 is arranged between the linear slide rail 220 and the loading platform 400; the positioning assembly includes a positioning support plate 241, a positioning linkage plate 242, a positioning lifting cylinder 243, and a plurality of positioning limit blocks 244. The positioning support plate 241 is installed on the upper side of the linear slide rail 220. The positioning lifting cylinder 243 is installed on the side wall of the positioning support plate 241, and the output end of the positioning lifting cylinder 243 is connected to the positioning linkage plate 242. The plurality of positioning limit blocks 244 are arranged on the positioning linkage plate 242. The positioning lifting cylinder 243 drives the positioning linkage plate 242 to move in the vertical direction, and the positioning linkage plate 242 drives the positioning limit blocks 244 to approach or move away from the accommodating assembly 100.

[0058] Among them, when the accommodating component 100 moves to a certain position, when other external equipment installed on the loading platform 400 needs to process the object to be transferred, in order to ensure the stability of the accommodating component 100, the accommodating component 100 needs to be positioned and fixed;

[0059] Specifically, the positioning support plate 241 plays a role of fixed support for other structures in the entire positioning assembly. The positioning linkage plate 242 can move in the vertical direction on the positioning support plate 241. When the positioning assembly needs to position and fix the accommodating assembly 100, the positioning lifting cylinder 243 enters the working state, so that the positioning lifting cylinder 243 drives the positioning linkage plate 242 to move downward, and then makes the multiple positioning limit blocks 244 on the positioning linkage plate 242 abut against the accommodating assembly 100, thereby completing the positioning and fixing action of the positioning assembly on the accommodating assembly 100.

[0060] In this embodiment, a limiting pin 331 for limiting the accommodating assembly 100 is installed on the upper side of the reflux toggle portion 330 .

[0061] A limiting opening is provided on the transfer plate 120 of the accommodating component 100 , and the limiting pin 331 fits exactly with the limiting opening, so that the limiting pin 331 can better drive the accommodating component 100 to move.

[0062] In this embodiment, a pressing spring 121 is disposed on the transfer plate 120 , one end of the pressing spring 121 is connected to the engagement strip 160 , and the other end of the pressing spring 121 is in contact with the lower side of the loading platform 400 .

[0063] Among them, the clamping spring 121 is always in a compressed state under the pressure of the lower side of the loading platform 400, so that the other end of the clamping spring 121 always applies a clamping force to the engaging bar 160, thereby making the engaging bar 160 more stable, thereby ensuring that the engaging bar 160 is always in contact with the linear drive assembly 230.

[0064] In this embodiment, a limiting groove 141 is defined on the limiting portion 140 , and the limiting groove 141 is in a V-shaped structure.

[0065] There are two limiting portions 140 , and the two limiting grooves 141 are symmetrically arranged, so that the two oppositely arranged limiting grooves 141 are in contact with the linear guide rail 220 , thereby achieving an overall fixing effect on the accommodating component 100 .

[0066] In this embodiment, the present invention also provides an operation method of the annular automatic assembly platform, comprising the following steps:

[0067] S1. Material feeding: The loading platform 400 transports the material to be transferred on the linear conveying mechanism 200 into the accommodating component 100. S2. Linear material conveying: Driven by the linear driving component 230, the accommodating component 100 drives the material to move linearly on the linear conveying mechanism 200. S3. Material direction change: When the accommodating component 100 moves to the end on the linear conveying mechanism 200, the return component 300 toggles and changes the direction of the material, so that the material continues to move linearly in the reverse direction on the linear conveying mechanism 200. S4. Material return: Repeat the above steps S2 - S3 to enable the material to be continuously conveyed between the linear conveying mechanism 200 and the return component 300.

[0068] The annular automatic assembly platform includes multiple accommodating components 100 for placing materials, at least one linear segment for driving the accommodating component 100 to move, two return segments for changing the moving direction of the accommodating component 100 to enable the accommodating component 100 to return, and a loading platform 400 for installing processing tools for processing the materials on the accommodating component 100; the linear segment includes a linear conveying mechanism 200, and the return segment includes a return component 300; the two return segments are located at both ends of the linear segment, the two return components 300 are correspondingly connected to both ends of the linear conveying mechanism 200, multiple accommodating components 100 are slidably located on the linear conveying mechanism 200 and the return component 300, the loading platform 400 is arranged on the linear segment, the two return components 300 are connected to the linear conveying mechanism 200 to form a closed-loop structure, the closed-loop structure is arranged around the loading platform 400, and the accommodating component 100 moves along the closed-loop structure. Among them, the accommodating component 100 is conveyed on the linear conveying mechanism 200, so as to realize the high-speed and stable conveying of the material by the accommodating component 100. At the same time, the two return components 300 are arranged at both ends of the linear conveying mechanism 200, so that when the accommodating component 100 moves to the end of the linear conveying mechanism 200, under the action of the return component 100, the direction is changed and it continues to be conveyed in the linear conveying mechanism 200, thereby realizing the automatic return of the accommodating component 100, and improving the conveying efficiency of the overall device.
