The conveying assembly can be a belt conveying mechanism 10a.

[0088] According to some embodiments of the present application, as Figures 7-10 As shown, the second transfer trolley 5 comprises a second mobile base 51 and a grabbing and transferring device 52 arranged on the second mobile base 51, the grabbing and transferring device 52 comprises a grabbing and transferring mechanism 53 used for grabbing or releasing the workpiece 200, and the grabbing and transferring mechanism 53 has a clamping assembly 535 or a suction cup assembly used for grabbing or releasing the workpiece 200. That is, the second mobile base 51 can drive the grabbing and transferring device 52 to move to different workpiece 200 transferring work points, and in some examples of the present application, a plurality of temporary storage racks 3 are arranged, the second mobile base 51 can drive the grabbing and transferring device 52 to move to the positions of the plurality of temporary storage racks 3, and the first transfer trolley 4 is synchronously moved to approach the first transfer trolley 4, so as to grab the workpiece 200 to be processed on the temporary storage rack 3 by the clamping assembly 535 or the suction cup assembly of the grabbing and transferring mechanism 53 and transfer and convey to the first transfer trolley 4, and also can grab the processed workpiece 200 on the first transfer trolley 4 by the clamping assembly 535 or the suction cup assembly of the grabbing and transferring mechanism 53 and transfer to the temporary storage rack 3, thereby improving the work range of the second transfer trolley 5. Optionally, the second mobile base 51 can be an automatic navigation vehicle (AGV).

[0089] The grabbing and transferring device 52 comprises a support base 54, and a grabbing and transferring mechanism 53 arranged on the support base 54. The grabbing and transferring mechanism 53 comprises a mechanical arm 531 and a grabbing and conveying module 532. One end of the mechanical arm 531 is connected to the support base 54, and the grabbing and conveying module 532 is arranged at the other end of the mechanical arm 531. The mechanical arm 531 is used to drive the grabbing and conveying module 532 to move. The grabbing and conveying module 532 comprises a mounting plate 533 and a clamping and conveying assembly 534 arranged on the mounting plate 533. The clamping and conveying assembly 534 comprises a clamping assembly 535 and a conveying assembly 539. The clamping assembly 535 is used to grab the workpiece 200, and the conveying assembly 539 is used to output the workpiece 200 grabbed by the clamping assembly 535 or convey the workpiece 200 to the clamping assembly 535. That is, the clamping and conveying assembly 534 is connected to the mechanical arm 531 through the mounting plate 533, which can better reduce the connection difficulty of the clamping and conveying assembly 534 and the mechanical arm 531, facilitate to reduce the assembly difficulty of the grabbing and transferring mechanism 53, and can reduce the maintenance difficulty of the grabbing and conveying module 532 in the later period. In addition, the position of the grabbing and conveying module 532 can be flexibly adjusted through the mechanical arm 531, so that the grabbing and conveying module 532 can accurately approach the workpiece 200, thereby stably grabbing or placing the workpiece 200.

[0090] Specifically, when the workpiece 200 needs to be transferred, the second mobile base 51 can drive the second transfer trolley 5 to move close to the temporary storage rack 3, control the mechanical arm 531 to drive the grabbing and conveying module 532 to approach the workpiece 200, and convey the workpiece 200 to the clamping assembly 535 through the conveying assembly 539, and then fix and clamp the workpiece 200 through the clamping assembly 535. Then, the second mobile base 51 can drive the second transfer trolley 5 to approach the release position of the workpiece 200, control the mechanical arm 531 to drive the grabbing and conveying module 532 to move, and after the grabbing and conveying module 532 reaches the specified release position of the workpiece 200, the clamping assembly 535 releases the workpiece 200, and the conveying assembly 539 outputs the workpiece 200. That is, the second transfer trolley 5 can automatically pick up the workpiece 200, clamp and fix the workpiece 200, and transfer the workpiece 200. Therefore, the automation level of the second transfer trolley 5 can be improved, and the labor input in the workpiece 200 transferring process can be reduced.

[0091] The second transfer trolley 5 can also perform stacking work of the workpiece 200, that is, stack the workpieces 200 in a certain order, and the like, which is not limited specifically herein. In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, after the second transfer trolley 5 moves to a position close to the temporary storage rack 3, the first transfer trolley 4 moves to within the working radius of the mechanical arm 531, thereby reducing the moving frequency and distance of the second transfer trolley 5 in the process of transferring the workpiece 200.

[0092] Further, the clamping assembly 535 and the conveying assembly 539 are adapted to jointly clamp the workpiece 200. That is, on the basis of the conveying assembly 539 outputting the workpiece 200 on the clamp assembly 534 or conveying the workpiece 200 to the clamp assembly 534, the clamping assembly 535 can jointly cooperate with the conveying assembly 539 to fix and clamp the workpiece 200 on the clamp assembly 534. Thus, while the clamping assembly 535 clamps the workpiece 200, the workpiece 200 is further clamped and fixed by the cooperation of the clamping assembly 535 and the conveying assembly 539, so as to further limit the activity freedom of the workpiece 200, thereby facilitating to ensure the stable transfer of the workpiece 200.

[0093] Specifically, when the workpiece 200 is picked up by the grabbing and conveying module 532, the workpiece 200 can be first conveyed to the clamp assembly 534 by the conveying assembly 539, and the workpiece 200 can be clamped by the clamping assembly 535, and then the clamping assembly 535 and the conveying assembly 539 are controlled to further clamp the workpiece 200, and the position of the second transfer trolley 5 is adjusted by the second moving base 51 and the position of the clamp assembly 534 is adjusted by the mechanical arm 531, so that the workpiece 200 reaches the specified release position, and then the clamping assembly 535 and the conveying assembly 539 are controlled to release the clamping action on the workpiece 200, so that the workpiece 200 is movable relative to the clamp assembly 534, and the workpiece 200 is output by the conveying assembly 539. Thus, the functionality of the conveying assembly 539 can be improved, that is, the conveying assembly 539 has the functions of fixing the workpiece 200 and conveying the workpiece 200, thereby facilitating to simplify the structural complexity of the clamp assembly 534, and the production cost of the clamp assembly 534 can be reduced.

[0094] Further, the clamping assembly 535 comprises a clamping piece 536 and a clamping driving mechanism 538, the clamping driving mechanism 538 is arranged on the mounting plate 533, the clamping driving mechanism 538 is connected with the clamping piece 536 to drive the clamping piece 536 to grab the workpiece 200, the clamping piece 536 comprises a clamping block 5361 and a clamping portion 5362 arranged on the clamping block 5361, the conveying assembly 539 is arranged on the clamping block 5361, the conveying assembly 539 is oppositely and spacedly arranged with the clamping portion 5362, and the conveying assembly 539 and the clamping portion 5362 define a clamping space 57 adapted to clamp the workpiece 200. That is, the workpiece 200 can be first grabbed by the clamping piece 536 driven by the clamping driving mechanism 538, and the workpiece 200 is clamped and fixed on the clamping assembly 535, at this time, at least part of the workpiece 200 is located in the clamping space 57, that is, the opposite parts of the conveying assembly 539 and the clamping portion 5362 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the workpiece 200.

[0095] For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the clamping piece 536 comprises a clamping block 5361 and a clamping portion 5362 arranged on the clamping block 5361, the clamping block 5361 is arranged on the mounting plate 533, and the clamping portion 5362 is arranged on the clamping block 5361 and is oppositely and spacedly arranged with the conveying assembly 539. Figure 8 and 9As shown, the clamping part 5362 is located on the side of the clamping block 5361 away from the mounting plate 533, and the conveying assembly 539 is arranged on the inner side of the clamping block 5361 and between the mounting plate 533 and the clamping part 5362, where the inner side refers to the side of the clamping block 5361 clamping the workpiece 200, and the conveying assembly 539 and the clamping part 5362 can be clamped on both sides of the workpiece 200 in the thickness direction, and the clamping blocks 5361 located on both sides of the mounting plate 533 can be clamped on both sides of the workpiece 200, such as both sides of the workpiece 200 in the width direction, so that the pinch roll assembly 534 can better limit the activity freedom of the workpiece 200 in both the thickness direction and the width direction. In addition, when the pinch roll assembly 534 reaches the release position of the workpiece 200, the clamping part 5362 can be driven by the clamping driving mechanism 538 to release the workpiece 200, and the conveying assembly 539 and the clamping part 5362 can be controlled to release the clamping action on the workpiece 200, so that the workpiece 200 can move on the pinch roll assembly 534, and then the workpiece 200 can be output by the conveying assembly 539.

[0096] Further, the grabbing and transferring device 52 further comprises a moving mechanism 56 for driving the conveying assembly 539 to move, and the moving mechanism 56 is arranged on the clamping block 5361 and connected with the conveying assembly 539 for driving the conveying assembly 539 to move, so as to adjust the distance between the conveying assembly 539 and the clamping part 5362. That is, the size of the clamping space 57 can be adjusted.

[0097] Specifically, as shown, Figure 9 when grabbing the workpiece 200, the moving mechanism 56 can drive the conveying assembly 539 to move towards the direction close to the clamping part 5362, so as to reduce the size of the clamping space 57, so that the two sides of the part of the workpiece 200 located in the clamping space 57 can be in full abutment with the opposite side walls of the conveying assembly 539 and the clamping part 5362 respectively, so as to form the limiting and fixing of the conveying assembly 539 and the clamping part 5362 on both sides of the workpiece 200 in the thickness direction. When it is needed to output the workpiece 200 on the pinch roll assembly 534, the moving mechanism 56 can drive the conveying assembly 539 to move away from the clamping part 5362, so as to release the clamping effect of the conveying assembly 539 and the clamping part 5362 on the workpiece 200, so that the conveying assembly 539 can output the workpiece 200. Thus, the stability of the workpiece 200 during the transferring process can be better guaranteed, and the friction between the workpiece 200 and the clamping part 5362 can be reduced to reduce the conveying difficulty of the workpiece 200, which is beneficial to improve the transferring efficiency of the workpiece 200. In addition, the size of the clamping space 57 in the first direction can be flexibly adjusted and adapted according to the different sizes of the workpiece 200 in the first direction, which is beneficial to improve the application range of the clamping assembly 535.

[0098] Optionally, the surface of the clamping portion 5362 facing the conveying assembly 539 is provided with a plurality of rollers 537 for supporting the workpiece 200, and the workpiece 200 is adapted to be in rolling contact with the rollers 537. That is, when the conveying assembly 539 conveys the workpiece 200, the workpiece 200 pushes the rollers 537 to rotate, so that the workpiece 200 can move relative to the clamping portion 5362. Thus, the contact friction between the workpiece 200 and the clamping portion 5362 can be well avoided, so as to ensure smooth conveying of the workpiece 200 and facilitate improvement of the conveying efficiency of the workpiece 200. In one specific example, a plurality of rollers 537 are arranged on the clamping portion 5362 in a spaced manner along the conveying direction of the workpiece 200. Thus, the plurality of rollers 537 can well support the workpiece 200 in the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 539, so as to prevent the workpiece 200 from contacting the surface of the clamping portion 5362 when the workpiece 200 is conveyed in the conveying direction, and ensure stable conveying of the workpiece 200.

[0099] In one specific example, as shown in FIG. 5, the workpiece 200 is conveyed to the machining device 1 by the second transfer trolley 5, and the machining device 1 is provided with a clamping portion 5362 for clamping the workpiece 200. The clamping portion 5362 is provided with a plurality of clamping mechanisms 5361, and the clamping mechanisms 5361 are arranged in a spaced manner along the conveying direction of the workpiece 200. The clamping mechanisms 5361 are adapted to clamp the workpiece 200 in the conveying direction of the workpiece 200, so as to prevent the workpiece 200 from moving in the conveying direction of the workpiece 200 when the workpiece 200 is conveyed by the conveying assembly 539.

The clamping portion 5362 is provided with a plurality of clamping mechanisms 5361, and the clamping mechanisms 5361 are arranged in a spaced manner along the conveying direction of the workpiece 200. The clamping mechanisms 5361 are adapted to clamp the workpiece 200 in the conveying direction of the workpiece 200, so as to prevent the workpiece 200 from moving in the conveying direction of the workpiece 200 when the workpiece 200 is conveyed by the conveying assembly 539.

[0100] In addition, the second transfer trolley 5 further comprises a temporary storage table provided on the support base 54. During the machining of the workpiece 200 by the machining device 1, machining records and the like can be entered into the workpiece 200 information. Therefore, when the workpiece 200 is machined with an error, the CCD camera 55 can acquire the error information during the transfer of the workpiece 200 by the second transfer trolley 5, and the second transfer trolley 5 can place the workpiece 200 with the error information on the temporary storage table, so as to distinguish the workpieces 200 machined correctly and with errors, that is, the second transfer trolley 5 can well reject the workpieces 200 machined with errors.

[0101] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mechanical arm 531 is a six-axis mechanical arm, which drives the grabbing and conveying module 532 to move to a preset angle position, so as to adjust the workpiece 200 to the preset angle position.

[0102] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 11 The automatic feeding and discharging system 2 further comprises a third transfer trolley 7, which is used to carry the workpieces 200 to be processed to the temporary storage rack 3 or carry the processed workpieces 200 away from the temporary storage rack 3. Specifically, when the processing equipment 1 requests feeding, the control system can control the third transfer trolley 7 to carry the workpieces 200 to be processed to the temporary storage rack 3 for temporary storage, and then the control system controls the second transfer trolley 5, the first transfer trolley 4 and the buffer device 6 to transport the workpieces 200 to be processed to the processing equipment 1 for processing. In addition, when the number of workpieces 200 to be processed on the temporary storage rack 3 is insufficient, the third transfer trolley 7 can timely supplement the workpieces 200 to be processed to the temporary storage rack 3. With the progress of the processing operation, when the number of processed workpieces 200 stored on the temporary storage rack 3 reaches a certain number, the control system can control the third transfer trolley 7 to carry the processed workpieces 200 away from the temporary storage rack 3 and to the equipment for the next processing procedure.

[0103] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 11 The third transfer trolley 7 is an automatic navigation trolley, and the lower portion of the temporary storage rack 3 is provided with positioning marks 31.

The preset position here refers to the position at which the jacking mechanism 71 can stably lower or lift the workpieces 200. Specifically, when the workpieces 200 to be processed are carried to the temporary storage rack 3, the third transfer trolley 7 moves to a position close to the temporary storage rack 3, the jacking mechanism 71 is raised so that the workpieces 200 to be processed are higher than the temporary storage rack 3, and the jacking mechanism 71 is accurately adjusted to the preset position by recognizing the positioning marks 31. Then, the jacking mechanism 71 is lowered, the workpieces 200 to be processed stacked on the jacking mechanism 71 are placed on the temporary storage rack 3, and are separated from the jacking mechanism 71, so that the workpieces 200 to be processed can be automatically carried to the temporary storage rack 3. When the processed workpieces 200 are carried away from the temporary storage rack 3, the third transfer trolley 7 moves to the temporary storage rack 3 where the processed workpieces 200 are stacked, the height of the jacking mechanism 71 is lower than the height of the temporary storage rack 3, and the jacking mechanism 71 is accurately adjusted to the preset position by recognizing the positioning marks 31. At this time, the jacking mechanism 71 is located directly below the stacked workpieces 200, the jacking mechanism 71 is raised to lift the processed workpieces 200 away from the temporary storage rack 3, so as to realize the automatic carrying away of the processed workpieces 200 on the temporary storage rack 3.

[0104] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 10As shown, the processing equipment 1 further comprises a code scanner 14 located above the access port 11. That is, the workpiece 200 information can be acquired by the code scanner 14 during the conveying of the workpiece 200 through the access port 11. The workpiece 200 has a two-dimensional code storing the workpiece 200 information, and the model and processing requirements of the workpiece 200 can be recorded in the two-dimensional code during the production of the workpiece 200. Therefore, when the workpiece 200 to be processed enters the processing equipment 1 through the access port 11, the workpiece 200 information is acquired by the code scanner 14, so that the processing equipment 1 can perform the specified processing operation on the workpiece 200. For example, the processing equipment 1 is a punching device, and the workpiece 200 information can include information such as punching position and punching quantity.

[0105] Secondly, the second transfer trolley 5 comprises a CCD camera 55, which can acquire the workpiece 200 information when the second transfer trolley 5 transfers the workpiece 200. The CCD camera 55 can be fixed on the mounting plate 533. During the loading of the workpiece 200 to be processed, the CCD camera 55 acquires the workpiece 200 information and determines whether the transferred workpiece 200 is consistent with the workpiece 200 required by the processing equipment 1, so that the second transfer trolley 5 only transfers the workpiece 200 meeting the requirements of the processing equipment 1, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the loading.

[0106] According to some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 12 As shown, the processing equipment 1 is arranged in a plurality of lines along a straight line, the access ports 11 of all the processing equipment 1 arranged in a straight line are located on the same side, and the temporary storage rack 3, the first transfer trolley 4 and the second transfer trolley 5 are located on the side adjacent to the access ports 11 of the processing equipment 1. That is, the first transfer trolley 4 and the second transfer trolley 5 can move along the arrangement direction of the processing equipment 1 to transfer the workpiece 200 to be processed on the temporary storage rack 3 to the processing equipment 1, and can transfer the processed workpiece 200 on the processing equipment 1 to the temporary storage rack 3, so that the travel route of the first transfer trolley 4 and the second transfer trolley 5 is simple, and the first transfer trolley 4 and the second transfer trolley 5 can provide the workpiece 200 to be processed to multiple processing equipment 1 at the same time. Meanwhile, the first transfer trolley 4 and the second transfer trolley 5 can simultaneously recover the processed workpiece 200 on multiple processing equipment 1, which is beneficial to reduce the number of the first transfer trolley 4 and the second transfer trolley 5, thereby saving the production cost of the automatic processing production line 100.

[0107] According to some embodiments of the present application, as Figures 13-15As shown, the machining device 1 comprises a workbench 13, and the workbench 13 is provided with a tool placing area 131. The automatic machining production line 100 further comprises a movable tool changing buffer device 8. The tool changing buffer device 8 comprises a third movable base 81, a placing table 82, and a grabbing mechanism 84. The placing table 82 is arranged on the third movable base 81. The placing table 82 comprises a first storage area 821 and a second storage area 823. The first storage area 821 is used for storing tools to be used, and the second storage area 823 is used for storing used tools.

[0108] That is, the third movable base 81 can drive the tool changing buffer device 8 to move on the ground, so as to improve the moving flexibility and movable range of the tool changing buffer device 8. In one specific example, the machining device 1 is provided with a plurality of machining devices 1, and the plurality of machining devices 1 are distributed in a machining site. The third movable base 81 is an automatic navigation vehicle (AGV). Therefore, the tool changing buffer device 8 can be driven by the third movable base 81 to go to the positions of the plurality of machining devices 1, so as to cooperate with the plurality of machining devices 1 to perform tool changing operations. In this way, the working range of the tool changing buffer device 8 is wide, and the number of tool changing buffer devices 8 can be reduced, thereby reducing the investment cost of the automatic machining production line 100.

[0109] Here, the tools to be used are tools that meet the machining requirements, and the used tools are tools that do not meet the machining requirements due to wear and the like. In this way, by partitioning the tools to be used and the used tools, the risk of tool changing errors caused by the confusion between the tools to be used and the used tools can be avoided, and the reliability of the tool changing buffer device 8 can be improved.

[0110] Further, the grabbing mechanism 84 is arranged on the placing table 82. The grabbing mechanism 84 is used for transferring the tools in the first storage area 821 to the machining device 1 and transferring the used tools changed by the machining device 1 to the second storage area 823. That is, the grabbing mechanism 84 can transfer the tools to be used in the first storage area 821 to the machining device 1, so that the machining device 1 can timely replace the used tools with the tools to be used, so as to ensure that the machining device 1 can continuously and effectively perform machining operations. After the machining device 1 changes the used tools, the grabbing mechanism 84 can transfer the used tools changed by the machining device 1 to the second storage area 823, so as to realize the centralized recovery of the used tools and facilitate the subsequent handling operations. In this way, the automation level of the tool changing buffer device 8 can be improved, and the human input during the tool changing process of the machining device 1 can be saved.

[0111] Optionally, the first storage area 821 is provided with a first conveying assembly 822 for supporting and conveying the tool assembly to a preset position of the first storage area 821, and the second storage area 823 is provided with a second conveying assembly 824 for supporting and conveying the tool assembly to a preset position of the second storage area 823, wherein the tool assembly comprises a tool and a tool holder for accommodating the tool, or the tool assembly comprises a tool and a tool box for storing the tool.

[0112] Optionally, the preset position of the first storage area 821 refers to a position convenient for the grabbing mechanism 84 to grab the tool assembly or a position conforming to the close arrangement of multiple tool assemblies, for example, a position close to the grabbing mechanism 84 on the first storage area 821, and the preset position of the second storage area 823 refers to a position away from the grabbing mechanism 84 on the second storage area 823 or a position conforming to the close arrangement of multiple tool assemblies. The tool in the tool assembly can be a tool to be used or a tool that has been used, i.e., the tool assembly can be a tool assembly to be used or a tool assembly that has been used.

[0113] That is, the tool assembly to be used can be placed on the first conveying assembly 822, and the first conveying assembly 822 conveys the tool assembly to be used towards the direction close to the grabbing mechanism 84, so as to facilitate the grabbing mechanism 84 to transfer the tool assembly to be used to the machining equipment 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of the grabbing mechanism 84 to transfer the tool assembly to be used. In addition, the grabbing mechanism 84 can transfer the tool assembly that has been used on the machining equipment 1 to the second conveying assembly 824 of the second storage area 823, and the second conveying assembly 824 conveys the tool assembly that has been used away from the grabbing mechanism 84, so as to avoid the accumulation of the tool assembly that has been used in the area close to the grabbing mechanism 84, and the grabbing mechanism 84 can place the tool assembly that has been used in the area close to the grabbing mechanism 84 on the second storage area 823, thereby reducing the difficulty of the grabbing mechanism 84 to release the tool assembly that has been used. In addition, the first conveying assembly 822 and the second conveying assembly 824 can automatically convey the tool assembly to the arrangement position, so that multiple tool assemblies are arranged neatly and closely in the first storage area 821 or the second storage area 823.

[0114] Therefore, the difficulty of the grabbing mechanism 84 in transferring the tool assembly can be reduced, and the working radius of the grabbing mechanism 84 can be shortened, so that the interference risk of the grabbing mechanism 84 in the transferring process can be reduced. In addition, the tool seat can accommodate the tool, which can improve the safety of the tool in the transferring process. In a specific example, referring to the drawings, a plurality of tool boxes are arranged on the tool seat in sequence, and each tool box contains a specified number and type of tools. Therefore, the tool assembly can be customized to arrange the tools according to the tool requirements of the machining equipment 1, which can improve the application range of the tool assembly. Secondly, the first conveying assembly 822 and the second conveying assembly 824 can simultaneously convey the tool seat to simultaneously convey a plurality of tool boxes, and the grabbing mechanism 84 can simultaneously transfer a plurality of tool boxes by transferring the tool seat, which can improve the transfer efficiency of the tool. Alternatively, the tool boxes are directly placed on the first conveying assembly 822 and the second conveying assembly 824, and the grabbing mechanism 84 places the tool boxes in the corresponding tool seat.

[0115] The first conveying assembly 822 includes a belt conveying mechanism 10a or a roller conveying mechanism, and the second conveying assembly 824 includes a belt conveying mechanism 10a or a roller conveying mechanism. That is, the first conveying assembly 822 and the second conveying assembly 824 can include a belt conveying mechanism 10a, and then convey the tool assembly through the belt conveying mechanism 10a. Of course, the first conveying assembly 822 and the second conveying assembly 824 can also include a roller conveying mechanism, so as to convey the tool assembly through the roller conveying mechanism. Therefore, the stability of the tool seat conveying can be ensured.

[0116] Optionally, the placing table 82 is provided with a boss 83, the grabbing mechanism 84 is arranged on the boss 83, and the first storage area 821 and the second storage area 823 are located on opposite sides of the boss 83 along the first direction. That is, the first storage area 821, the boss 83 and the second storage area 823 are arranged along the first direction, the first storage area 821 is located on one side of the boss 83 in the first direction, and the second storage area 823 is located on the other side of the boss 83 away from the first storage area 821 in the first direction. The boss 83 is located between the first storage area 821 and the second storage area 823.

[0117] Therefore, the interference between the first storage area 821 and the second storage area 823 can be avoided, the tool changing error caused by the confusion between the tool to be used and the tool used can be avoided, the grabbing mechanism 84 on the boss 83 is located between the first storage area 821 and the second storage area 823, so that the working range of the grabbing mechanism 84 can cover the first storage area 821 and the second storage area 823 at the same time, the number of the grabbing mechanism 84 can be saved, and the production cost of the tool changing buffer device 8 is reduced. In addition, the grabbing mechanism 84 is located at a higher position compared with the first storage area 821 and the second storage area 823, so that the interference to the movement of the grabbing mechanism 84 can be avoided, and the reliability of the tool changing buffer device 8 is improved.

[0118] Optionally, as shown in Figure 14 and Figure 16 , the automatic machining production line 100 further comprises a fourth transfer trolley 9, the fourth transfer trolley 9 comprises a moving carrier 9, a storage rack 92 and a third conveying assembly 93, the storage rack 92 is arranged on the moving carrier 9, the third conveying assembly 93 is arranged on the storage rack 92, the fourth transfer trolley 9 is adapted to be docked with the tool changing buffer device 8, the third conveying assembly 93 is used for conveying the tool assembly to the first storage area 821 or conveying the tool assembly in the second storage area 823 to the storage rack 92, and the third conveying assembly 93 comprises a belt conveying mechanism 10a or a roller conveying mechanism.

[0119] Therefore, the fourth transfer trolley 9 can better convey the tool to be used to the tool changing buffer device 8 and move the tool used on the tool changing buffer device 8 away, so that the automation level of the tool changing buffer system can be improved, and the labor input during the tool changing process of the machining equipment 1 is saved.

[0120] Specifically, the moving carrier 9 can drive the fourth transfer trolley 9 to move on the ground, so that the moving flexibility and the movable range of the tool changing buffer device 8 are improved. The tool assembly can be better supported by the storage rack 92 and the third conveying assembly 93, so that the fourth transfer trolley 9 can be moved to the tool changing buffer device 8 after loading the tool to be used and docked with the first storage area 821, so that the loaded tool to be used can be transmitted to the first storage area 821 under the drive of the third conveying assembly 93, so that the tool to be used can be transferred to the machining equipment 1 by the grabbing mechanism 84 for the machining equipment 1 to change. When the tool used on the second storage area 823 needs to be transported, the fourth transfer trolley 9 is moved to the side of the second storage area 823 of the tool changing buffer device 8 and is docked with the tool changing buffer device 8, and then the tool used on the second storage area 823 is conveyed to the storage rack 92 by the third conveying assembly 93, and the fourth transfer trolley 9 is driven by the moving carrier 9 to a tool recycling point.

[0121] The third conveying assembly 93 includes a belt conveying mechanism 10a or a roller conveying mechanism, so that the stability of the cutter disc conveying can be ensured. In a specific example, the conveying direction of the third conveying assembly 93 is parallel to the first direction, and the third conveying assembly 93 includes a plurality of belt conveying mechanisms 10a arranged along the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

In addition, the plurality of belt conveying mechanisms 10a can be synchronously driven. Thus, the stability and efficiency of the third conveying assembly 93 for conveying the workpiece 200 can be improved.
