[0035] In order to further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1-10The present embodiment provides an automatic loading and unloading device for chip packaging tubes based on vision guidance, including a device body 100, a movable mounting platform 110 is provided on the device body 100, and a material tube placement portion 120 for placing the tubes is vertically provided on the upper surface of the movable mounting platform 110 through a first mounting frame 130. The material tube placement portion 120 forms a feeding section, a sorting section and a discharging section from top to bottom; the material tube placement portion 120 is provided with a pushing component on one side along the width direction of the tube, and a dividing component 140 and a pick-and-place component for picking and placing the tubes on the other side. The pushing component is used to push the material tube at the discharging section to the dividing area of ​​the dividing component 140, and the dividing area is covered within the picking and placing range of the pick-and-place component; the pick-and-place component includes a multi-axis robot 150 and a gripping component 160 provided at the moving end 155 of the multi-axis robot 150, and the gripping component 160 includes a visual detection component and a suction component.

[0038] Specifically, when using the device body 100 of this embodiment, the movable mounting platform 110 is first moved to the labeling position where labeling is required. Then, tubes containing encapsulated chips are placed one by one through the loading section into the tube placement unit 120. Once in the tube placement unit 120, the tubes are sequentially arranged in a tube sequence from top to bottom due to gravity. At this point, the tube at the bottom of the tube sequence is located at the discharge section.

[0039] Furthermore, a pusher assembly located on one side of the tube's width pushes the tubes at the discharge section along their width. The dispensing assembly 140 then arranges the dispensing tubes sequentially in the dispensing area, facilitating their removal by the pick-and-place assembly and subsequent comparative labeling. The multi-axis robot 150 in the pick-and-place assembly then drives the gripper assembly 160 to grip each tube in the dispensing area. During this gripping process, the visual inspection assembly visually inspects the tubes gripped by the gripper assembly 160 to determine which customer device they correspond to, facilitating subsequent labeling.

[0040] It can be understood that compared with the prior art, the device body 100 in this embodiment can form a complete set of automatic loading and unloading processes for tubes through the material tube placement part 120, the pushing component, the material dividing component 140 and the pick-and-place component arranged on the mobile mounting platform 110; it has a high degree of automation, thereby being able to better improve the loading and unloading efficiency and labeling accuracy, and has high practical value and economic value.

[0041] Furthermore, the aforementioned feeding section comprises a tube hopper 121 in the shape of wide top and narrow bottom, the narrow section of the tube hopper 121 is formed with a tube passage allowing only a single tube to pass through at the same time; the lower end of the tube hopper 121 is connected with a first plate body 122 and a second plate body 123 perpendicular to the mounting platform 110 on both sides along the length direction of the tube, the first plate body 122 and the second plate body 123 are fixedly installed on the mounting platform 110 through a fixing seat 124; a sorting section for sorting the stacked tubes and a discharging section for cooperating with the pushing assembly for discharging are sequentially formed from top to bottom between the first plate body 122 and the second plate body 123 and are connected with the tube passage; the side walls of the first plate body 122 and the second plate body 123 facing each other are respectively provided with oppositely arranged limiting vertical plates 125, which are arranged between the upper and lower ends of the sorting section along the vertical direction.

[0042] Specifically, the tube hopper in the shape of wide top and narrow bottom enables the user to more conveniently put the tubes into the feeding section; and due to the structure of wide top and narrow bottom of the tube hopper, the tubes naturally fall through the tube passage into the sorting section under the action of gravity after entering the tube hopper. In addition, the first plate body and the second plate body can preferably limit the two ends of the tube along the length direction; at the same time, the limiting vertical plates 125 arranged on the first plate body and the second plate body can preferably limit the two sides of the tube along the width direction. Therefore, the cooperation of the first plate body, the second plate body and the limiting vertical plates 125 can preferably ensure the positional stability of the tube in the sorting section; thereby effectively avoiding the situation that the tube is separated from the tube placing part 120 and affects the normal feeding and discharging process. In addition, the limiting vertical plates 125 have no effect on the tubes in the discharging section, so that the tubes in the discharging section can normally move along the width direction and be pushed out in cooperation with the pushing assembly.

[0043] The pushing assembly comprises a pushing assembly 210 and a lifting assembly; the pushing assembly 210 comprises two pushing blocks 215 arranged on the upper surface of the first mounting frame 130 and a cylinder guide rail assembly for driving the two pushing blocks 215 to move, the two pushing blocks 215 are symmetrically arranged on both sides near the middle part along the length direction of the tube, and the pushing blocks 215 move along the width direction of the tube through the cylinder guide rail assembly; the upper part of the pushing block 215 is formed with a placing slot 2151 extending along the length direction of the tube, and the placing slots 2151 on the upper part of the two pushing blocks 215 cooperatively form a first placing area for placing the tube; when the tube is driven by the pushing block 215 to move to the limit position along the moving direction, the position of the tube forms a position to be lifted for cooperating with the lifting assembly.

[0044] Understandably, during use of the apparatus body 100 of this embodiment, the tube at the discharge section naturally falls into the first placement area of ​​the two push blocks 215 due to gravity. As the two push blocks 215, driven by the cylinder guide assembly, move along the width of the tube, the tube follows the push blocks 215 out of the discharge section and into the position to be lifted. This embodiment utilizes the push blocks 215 to relatively stably drive the tube's movement, and the placement slots 2151 provided on the push blocks 215 ensure that the tube remains stable in its longitudinal direction and does not deviate from its original position as it follows the push blocks 215 along its width.

[0045] The cylinder guide rail assembly includes two linear guide rails 212 provided on the lower surface of the first mounting frame 130 and arranged along the moving direction of the push block 215, and a slider 213 provided on the linear guide rails 212 and slidingly engaged with the linear guide rails 212, and also includes a pushing cylinder 211 for driving the slider 213 to move; the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 211 is connected to the slider 213 and the push block 215 through a first connecting plate 214.

[0046] Specifically, by pushing the air cylinder 211, the movement of the slider 213 and the push block 215 can be controlled more stably through the piston rod, so that the tubes are pushed out through the push block 215. At the same time, the forward and return strokes of the piston rod of the air cylinder 211 are fixed, so the tubes at the discharge section can be pushed out one by one stably and continuously.

[0047] The lifting assembly includes a lifting cylinder 310 provided on the lower surface of the first mounting frame 130 and located at the lower side of the position to be lifted, and a pressing cylinder 320 installed on the second wrench body through the second connecting plate 410 and located at the upper side of the position to be lifted. The two lifting cylinders 310 are symmetrically provided on both sides near the middle of the length direction of the tube at the position to be lifted; the piston rods of the two lifting cylinders 310 move in the up and down directions; the piston rods of the lifting cylinders 310 are connected to the lifting blocks 610, and the lifting blocks 610 are formed with notches 611 for placing the material tubes. When the lifting cylinder 310 drives the lifting blocks 610 to move upward through the piston rod, the notches 611 of the two lifting blocks 610 cooperate to form a second placement area for placing the tubes; the piston rod of the pressing cylinder 320 moves in the up and down directions, and the piston rod of the pressing cylinder 320 is connected to a pressure plate 710.

[0048] Specifically, when the push block 215 drives the tube to the position to be lifted, the lift cylinder 310 located below the lifting position drives the lift block 610 upward via a piston rod. The lift block 610 lifts the tube upward and disengages the tube from the push block 215. Once the tube is disengaged from the push block 215, the cylinder guide assembly retracts the push block 215, allowing the aforementioned ejection process to continue. Simultaneously, the notch 611 in the lift block 610 effectively positions the tube, effectively preventing it from falling or shifting as the lift block 610 moves upward. As the tube lift block 610 moves upward, the compression cylinder 320 drives the pressure plate 710 downward via a piston rod, pressing the tube against the lift block 610.

[0049] It can be understood that the lifting block 610 and the pressure plate 710 can better ensure the positioning stability of the tube at the notch 611 of the lifting block 610, so that the subsequent material separation component 140 can be better coordinated for material separation.

[0050] Furthermore, the material distribution assembly 140 includes two transmission belts 141 arranged along the width direction of the tube at the material tube placement portion 120 and driven synchronously. The two transmission belts 141 are symmetrically arranged on both sides near the middle of the tube in the length direction of the tube at the material tube placement portion 120 through a second mounting bracket 142; one end of the flow belt in the transmission direction is located below the second placement area; a plurality of placement clamps 143 are arranged on both transmission belts 141, and the placement clamps 143 form a clamping area along the length direction of the tube at the material tube placement portion 120. The placement clamps 143 are evenly distributed along the transmission direction of the transmission belts 141, and the placement clamps 143 at corresponding positions on the two transmission belts 141 cooperate to form a placement position for placing the tube.

[0051] Specifically, the lift cylinder 310, via its piston rod, drives the lift block 610 to lift the tube. Then, the push block 215 is retracted. At this point, the piston rod of the lift cylinder 310 is retracted, causing it to move downward. The tube then moves downward and lands on the conveyor belt. Specifically, the conveyor belt allows the tubes to be arranged in a sequence along the belt's transmission direction, effectively facilitating subsequent pick-and-place operations.

[0052] In summary, by repeating the above process, the tubes located at the discharge section can be transported one by one from the discharge section to the first placement area of ​​the push block 215; then, driven by the push cylinder 211, they reach the waiting position for lifting; then, they are lifted by the lifting cylinder 310 and fall into the second placement area of ​​the lifting block 610; finally, the lifting cylinder 310 drives the lifting block 610 to move downward, and the tubes fall one by one into the placement position on the conveyor belt and form an array along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt.

[0053] The multi-axis manipulator 150 includes a fixed support 151 installed on the mobile mounting platform 110 and a movable base movably connected to the fixed support 151; the movable base includes a first movable arm 152 that rotates in a vertical direction, and a second movable arm 153 and a third movable arm 154 that rotate around two perpendicular axes in a horizontal plane respectively; the first movable arm 152 is connected to the upper part of the fixed support 151 through a first joint, the second movable arm 153 is movably connected to the side of the first movable arm 152 near the material distribution area through a second joint, and the third movable arm 154 is movably connected to the upper part of the second movable arm 153 through a third joint; the movable end 155 is located at the end of the third movable arm 154 far from the third joint.

[0054] Understandably, the first movable arm 152, the second movable arm 153, and the third movable arm 154 of the multi-axis manipulator 150 can ensure that the gripping assembly 160 has a sufficient range of motion under the control of the multi-axis manipulator 150, thereby ensuring that the entire pick-and-place assembly's pick-and-place range can fully cover the material distribution area. Therefore, the flexible manipulator can effectively ensure the smooth progress of the entire gripping process and subsequent labeling work.

[0055] The visual inspection component and the suction component are respectively installed at the moving end 155 of the multi-axis manipulator 150 through the manipulator block 161 and the gripper 162, and the suction position of the suction component is covered within the detection range of the visual inspection component.

[0056] This embodiment can perform real-time detection of the tube sucked by the suction component through the visual detection component, so that the corresponding labeling position can be quickly determined, thereby preferably improving the accuracy and efficiency of the labeling work.

[0057] Specifically, the aforementioned visual inspection component includes a mounting base 167 and a visual inspection camera fixed on the upper part of the mounting base 167. The visual inspection camera includes a camera body 163 and a shooting lens 164. The camera body 163 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base 167, and the shooting lens 164 is arranged on the outer wall of one side of the camera body 163 near the suction component; the axis of the shooting lens 164 is perpendicular to the suction component, and the lens of the visual inspection camera is facing the side of the suction component.

[0058] Specifically, during the operation of the visual inspection component in this embodiment, after the suction component sucks the tube from the material distribution area, the camera body 163 starts working, and the shooting lens 164 scans and shoots the tube and uploads the shooting data to the computer; after the computer processes the data, it can obtain the labeling position corresponding to the tube, so that it can better cooperate with the multi-axis robot 150 to perform subsequent labeling work.

[0059] In addition, the suction component includes a suction cup mounting plate 165 arranged at the gripper 162. When the suction cup mounting plate 165 moves with the third movable arm 154 at the multi-axis manipulator 150, it does not interfere with other components of the multi-axis manipulator 150; the suction cup mounting plate 165 is symmetrically provided with suction cup mounting holes on both sides along its length direction; vacuum suction cups 166 are provided at the suction cup mounting holes on both sides, and the suction nozzles of the vacuum suction cups 166 are provided on one side of the far gripper 162; the suction nozzles of the vacuum suction cups 166 on both sides cooperate to form a suction position for sucking the material pipe, and the suction position is parallel to the suction cup mounting plate 165.

[0060] As can be understood, in this embodiment, the vacuum cups 166 located on either side of the cup mounting plate 165 along its length effectively facilitate tube suction and placement. The vacuum cups 166 cooperate to form a suction position that secures the tube on both sides of its length. Therefore, after the suction assembly completes suction and moves with the multi-axis robot 150, the tube maintains its original relative position with the suction assembly, effectively preventing the tube from dislodging and maintaining high stability.

[0061] It is easy to understand that those skilled in the art can combine, split, reorganize, etc. the embodiments of the present application based on one or several embodiments provided in the present application to obtain other embodiments, and these embodiments do not exceed the scope of protection of the present application.

The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto.
