Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the arrangement form changing device according to the first embodiment of the present application includes: a base 100, a center disk 200, a stop block 300, a fixed module 400, and a driving assembly 500.

[0038] The center plate 200 is disposed on the base 100;

[0039] The stopper 300 is provided on the base 100 and is arranged around the central disk 200;

[0040] The fixed module 400 is disposed on the base 100 and is located between the central disk 200 and the stopper 300. The fixed module 400 includes at least two groups, each of which includes at least two fixed structures. The fixed structures are used to fix the product. Adjacent fixed structures are hinged, and the hinge axes between adjacent fixed structures are perpendicular to the base 100. At least one fixed structure is movable between a first position and a second position. The position in which the fixed structure abuts the stopper 300 is defined as the first position, and the position in which the fixed structure abuts the central disk 200 is defined as the second position.

[0041] The driving assembly 500 drives the connected fixed structure to move the fixed structure between a first position and a second position.

[0042] For ease of description, refer to Figure 1When the fixed structure is located at the first position, the arrangement of the fixed structures in the same fixed module 400 is defined as the first arrangement; Figure 2 When the fixing structure is located at the second position, the arrangement of the fixing structures in the same fixing module 400 is defined as the second arrangement.

[0043] It should be noted that the arrangement form changing device is arranged between two workstations. The product on the fixing device of the previous workstation is placed on the fixed structure of the arrangement form changing device through the conveying mechanism. The arrangement form changing device changes the arrangement form of the fixed structure, and then the product after the arrangement form is changed is placed on the next fixing device through the conveying mechanism.

[0044] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the first arrangement form corresponds to the arrangement form of the fixed position of the fixing device of the previous workstation, and the second arrangement form corresponds to the arrangement form of the fixed position of the fixing device of the next workstation; in other embodiments, the second arrangement form may correspond to the arrangement form of the fixed position of the fixing device of the previous workstation, and the first arrangement form may correspond to the arrangement form of the fixed position of the fixing device of the next workstation, and there is no limitation here.

[0045] A specific implementation process of the arrangement form changing device is as follows: in the initial state, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the fixed structure is in the first position, that is, the fixed module 400 is in the first arrangement form, and the transport mechanism transports the product on the fixing device of the previous station to the fixed structure, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 500 drives the fixed structure to move to the second position, so that the fixed structure is arranged in the second arrangement. Then, the transport mechanism transports the products on the fixed structure to the fixing device at the next station. It can be understood that by changing the position of the fixed structure, the arrangement of the products can be changed to facilitate the transportation of the products.

[0046] With respect to the center disk 200 and the stop block 300, it can be understood that the center disk 200 and the stop block 300 are used to limit the movement path of the fixed structure. Specifically, when one side of the fixed structure abuts against the stop block 300, the fixed structure will stop moving and the fixed structure will be located in the first position; when the other side of the fixed structure abuts against the center disk 200, the fixed structure will stop moving and the fixed structure will be located in the second position.

[0047] For specific forms of fixed structures, such as Figures 1 to 2The fixed structure is composed of a movable block 410 and a fixed block 420. The movable block 410 is slidably arranged on the base 100, and the fixed block 420 is fixedly arranged on the base 100. One side of the fixed block 420 abuts against the stop block 300, and the other side abuts against the center disk 200. It can be understood that the fixed block 420 can be said to be located in the first position or in the second position.

[0048] It is understood that in the same fixed module 400, at least one is a movable block 410 and at least one is a fixed block 420. In this embodiment, each fixed module 400 includes three movable blocks 410 and one fixed block 420 that are hinged in sequence. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in each fixed module 400, one of the fixed structures at one end is a fixed block 420, and it should be noted that the fixed structure at the other end is a movable block 410. Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in each fixed module 400, the movable block 410 at the end is connected to the driving assembly 500. It can be understood that the driving assembly 500 drives the movable block 410 at the end to move. Since the fixed structures are hinged, the movable block 410 at the end can drive the other movable blocks 410 to move together. Since the fixed block 420 is fixedly mounted on the fixed seat, the movement of the movable blocks 410 in the same fixed module 400 is restricted by the fixed block 420 to ensure the accuracy of the movement.

[0049] In other embodiments, in each fixed module 400, both ends are located at fixed blocks 420, and multiple movable blocks 410 are arranged between the fixed blocks 420. It should be noted that the number of movable blocks 410 and fixed blocks 420 is not limited here, and in other embodiments, the arrangement order of the movable blocks 410 and fixed blocks 420 is not limited.

[0050] Regarding the specific structure of the driving assembly 500, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly 500 includes a cylinder 510, a slide 520, a guide rail 530, and a rotating arm 540. The guide rail 530 is mounted on the base 100, and the slide 520 is mounted on the guide rail 530. The two ends of the rotating arm 540 are respectively hinged to the slide 520 and the fixed structure. Specifically, the drive assembly 500 is mounted below the base 100, and the fixed module 400, the stop block 300, and the center plate 200 are mounted above the base 100.

[0051] It is understandable that the cylinder 510 drives the slide 520 to slide along the guide rail 530 , and the slide 520 drives the fixed structure connected to the rotating arm 540 to move together through the rotating arm 540 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the rotating arm 540 is connected to the movable block 410 at the end. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of fixed modules 400 is plural, and the types of fixed structures at the ends of two adjacent fixed modules 400 that are close to each other are the same, that is, the ends of two adjacent fixed modules 400 that are close to each other are all fixed blocks 420, or all movable blocks 410. Therefore, in order to reduce the use of cylinders 510, guide rails 530 are provided between two adjacent fixed modules 400 and between the two movable blocks 410. A slide 520 is connected to the movable blocks 410 of the two groups of fixed modules 400 through two rotating arms 540. It can be understood that the movable blocks 410 of the two groups of fixed modules 400 are driven simultaneously by one cylinder 510 to simultaneously change the arrangement of the two groups of fixed modules 400, thereby improving the consistency of the changed arrangement of the fixed modules 400 and reducing the use of cylinders 510.

[0053] It should be noted that the products in the fixture of the previous station are arranged in a straight line. It can be understood that in order to correspond to the fixture of the previous station, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side of the stopper 300 used to abut against the fixed module 400 is straight, so that the fixed structures in the same fixed module 400 are arranged in a straight line, even if the products are arranged in a straight line. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the stopper 300 is in a V-shaped structure, and one stopper 300 is provided corresponding to two fixing modules 400 .

[0054] It should be noted that the products of the fixture of the next station are arranged in a circle. Specifically, the fixture of the next station is a grinding disc. In order to facilitate grinding products, its products are generally arranged in a circle. It can be understood that in order to correspond to the fixture of the next station, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the center disk 200 is a disk structure, so that after the fixed structure abuts against the center disk 200, the fixed structures of the same fixed module 400 are arranged in an arc, and the fixed structures in all fixed modules 400 are arranged in a circle, that is, the product is arranged in a circle.

[0055] In addition, in order to facilitate observation of whether the fixed structure deviates after abutting the center disk 200, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a protrusion 210 is formed at the edge of the center disk 200. When the fixing structure is in the first position, the fixing structure abuts against the protrusion 210. It is understood that the protrusions 210 and the fixing structures are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. When the fixing structure is offset, it will no longer abut against the corresponding protrusion 210 and will be displaced between the two protrusions 210.

[0056] According to the second embodiment of the present application, the automated production equipment includes the arrangement form changing device of the first embodiment.

[0057] The automated production equipment according to the second embodiment of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects: including all the beneficial effects of the arrangement form changing device of the first embodiment mentioned above, which will not be repeated here.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present application, the automated production equipment further includes a conveying mechanism, a material tray and a grinding disk, wherein the conveying mechanism is used to convey the product on the material tray to the arrangement form changing device, and to convey the product on the arrangement form changing device to the grinding disk.

[0059] It can be understood that the fixing device of the previous station is a material tray, and the fixing device of the next station is a grinding disc.

[0060] In order to improve production efficiency, the conveying mechanism includes two, one of which has a clamping structure and a fixed structure in a first arrangement corresponding to a setting. Specifically, the conveying mechanism can facilitate clamping products arranged in a straight line; the other conveying mechanism has a clamping structure and a fixed structure in a second arrangement corresponding to a setting. Specifically, the conveying mechanism can facilitate clamping products arranged in a circle.

[0061] The embodiments of the present application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Various modifications can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
