[0073] The present embodiment is described in detail below. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the self-moving feeding device includes a frame 10, which is arranged on at least one side of the silo 50. A receiving cavity is formed in the frame 10, and the silo 50 is placed in the receiving cavity. The frame 10 is used to support and protect the material 100 in the silo 50. The silo 50 is provided with the frame 10 around its periphery. Figure 1As shown, the frame 10 is set up around the silo 50. Optionally, the frame 10 is set up on one side of the silo 50 in the circumferential direction, or the frame 10 is set up on two opposite sides of the silo 50 in the circumferential direction. The layout can be made according to the actual space of the silo 50 and the frame 10, and there is no limitation here.
[0074] A lifting assembly 20 is provided on at least one side of the frame 10, which is used to drive the silo 50 to vertically lift. The lifting assembly 20 includes a carrier plate 21 and a lifting power unit 22. The output end of the lifting power unit 22 is connected to the carrier plate 21. The carrier plate 21 is used to place the silo 50 to drive the silo 50 placed on the carrier plate 21 to rise or fall. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the carrier plate 21 includes a bottom plate 213 and a pair of side plates 211 extending along the lifting direction of the silo 50. The silo 50 is loaded in the space enclosed by the bottom plate 213 and the side plates 211. A plurality of pairs of triangular clamps 212 are provided at the connection between the bottom plate 213 and the side plates 211. The clamps 212 can strengthen the firmness of the connection between the bottom plate 213 and the side plates 211 on the one hand, and can limit the horizontal displacement of the silo 50 on the other hand, so as to fix the silo on the carrier plate 21. Optionally, a plurality of pairs of positioning columns (not shown) are provided on the bottom plate 213 of the carrier plate 21. The positioning columns are located in the area between the plurality of pairs of clamping plates 212. The positioning columns accurately limit and guide the silo 50 loaded on the carrier plate 21 to ensure that the silo 50 can smoothly enter and exit the carrier plate 21, while fixing the silo 50 in a predetermined precise position. The carrier plate 21 is based on being able to load and lift the silo 50, and minimizes the occupied area. Optionally, in order to maintain the stability of lifting, lifting assemblies 20 are provided on opposite sides of the carrier plate 21, that is, a lifting assembly 20 is provided on each of the opposite sides of the silo 50 on the frame 10. The two groups of lifting assemblies 20 move synchronously, which can lift the silo 50 more stably and accurately. Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the lifting assembly 20 includes at least one set of lifting rails 23 arranged along the height direction of the frame 10, and the carrier 21 is slidably connected to the lifting rails 23 through a slider, wherein in this embodiment, the lifting power unit 22 includes a servo motor fixed to the frame 10 and a ball screw connected to the servo motor, and the nut on the ball screw is connected to the carrier 21. In other embodiments, the servo motor and the ball screw can be replaced by a cylinder or an electric cylinder.
[0075] The lifting process of the silo 50 is as follows: after receiving the control signal, the lifting power unit 22 starts, drives the ball screw to rotate, and drives the carrier plate 21 to move up and down on the slide rail 23 through the rotation of the ball screw, thereby realizing the vertical lifting movement of the silo 50 on the carrier plate 21. The lifting power unit 22 receives the forward and reverse rotation signals to realize the lifting movement of the silo 50. The lifting power unit 22 receives the forward rotation signal of the controller, and the silo 50 realizes the rising process; the lifting power unit 22 receives the reverse rotation signal of the controller, and the silo 50 realizes the descending process; optionally, the lifting power unit 22 receives the reverse rotation signal of the controller, and the silo 50 realizes the rising process; the lifting power unit 22 receives the forward rotation signal of the controller, and the silo 50 realizes the descending process.
[0076] The self-moving feeding device is used to transport materials to the circuit board processing equipment. The circuit board processing equipment includes drilling equipment, molding equipment, AOI inspection equipment, etc. These circuit board processing equipment need to perform automated loading and unloading processes. The self-moving feeding device receives control instructions from the host computer, and after loading the material bin, it moves closer to or away from the circuit board processing equipment to realize automated loading and unloading processes. In an embodiment of the present invention, the circuit board processing equipment can be directly connected to the self-moving feeding device, and the circuit board processing equipment is provided with a feeding end; it can also be a structure in which the circuit board processing equipment is added with a buffer device, and the self-moving feeding device is connected to the circuit board processing equipment through the buffer device, and the buffer device is provided with a feeding end. In the contextual embodiment, the feeding end can be directly provided on the circuit board processing equipment, or it can be indirectly provided on the circuit board processing equipment through the buffer device.
[0077] The silo 50 of the self-moving feeding device includes a multi-layer chamber, each of which is used to place a material 100. The vertical lifting of the silo 50 is achieved through the lifting assembly 20 to achieve the purpose of switching the multi-layer chambers and realize the alternating loading and unloading process. The self-moving feeding device also includes a transplanting assembly 30, which is used to drive the material 100 in the silo 50 to move horizontally to take out the material 100 to be processed in the silo 50, or to recycle the processed material 100 to the silo 50. The transplanting assembly 30 is arranged on the frame 10. In the embodiment of the present application, the frame 10 includes an inlet and outlet, and the material 100 exchanges the material 100 with the circuit board processing equipment through the inlet and outlet. The horizontal straight line direction of the material 100 from a chamber of the silo 50 through the inlet and outlet to the end of the circuit board processing equipment is defined as the material transmission direction. The frame 10 includes four side surfaces, and the silo 50 is placed in a containing cavity surrounded by the four side surfaces; at least one side of the frame 10 is an inlet and outlet.
[0078] In one embodiment of the present application, the frame 10 has a side for the inlet and outlet, and also includes three other sides: the side opposite to the inlet and outlet, and the sides adjacent to the two inlet and outlet. The lifting assembly 20 is fixedly mounted on any side adjacent to the inlet and outlet of the frame 10, the transplanting assembly 30 is fixedly mounted on the side opposite to the inlet and outlet of the frame 10, and the side adjacent to the other inlet and outlet is used for the overall entry and exit of the silo 50 from the mobile feeding device. This layout of four sides with four functions is compact and reasonable, effectively utilizes space, reduces costs, and achieves the effect of automated loading and unloading with better cost performance.
[0079] In another embodiment of the present application, the frame 10 has a side surface as an inlet and outlet, and also includes three other sides: a side opposite to the inlet and outlet, and sides adjacent to the two inlet and outlets. The lifting assembly 20 is fixedly mounted on the side adjacent to any one of the inlet and outlet of the frame 10, and the transplanting assembly 30 is fixedly mounted on the side adjacent to another inlet and outlet of the frame 10. The side opposite to the inlet and outlet is used for the self-moving feeding device for the entire entry and exit of the silo 50. This layout of four functions on four sides is compact and reasonable, effectively utilizes space, reduces costs, and achieves the effect of automated loading and unloading with better cost performance. At the same time, the overall moving direction of the silo 50 is consistent with the transmission direction of the material 100, which reduces positioning and guiding costs and improves transmission accuracy.
[0080] In another embodiment of the present application, the frame 10 has a side surface as an inlet and outlet, and also includes three other sides: a side opposite to the inlet and outlet, and two adjacent sides of the inlet and outlet. Two groups of lifting components 20 are fixedly mounted on the adjacent sides of the two inlet and outlet of the frame 10, and two groups of transplanting components 30 are fixedly mounted on the adjacent sides of the inlet and outlet of the frame 10. Each transplanting component 30 is located between the silo 50 and each lifting component 20, and the side surface opposite to the inlet and outlet is used for the silo 50 to enter and exit the self-moving feeding device as a whole. This layout of the two groups of lifting components 20 and the transplanting components 30 improves the stability of the vertical lifting of the silo 50 and the horizontal movement of the material 100, and the reliability, stability, and utilization rate of the self-moving feeding device are steadily improved.
[0081] In another embodiment of the present application, the frame 10 has two sides as inlets and outlets. The side where any of the inlets and outlets are located is not only used for exchanging materials 100 between the silo 50 and the circuit board processing equipment, but also can be used for exchanging the silo 50 between the self-moving feeding device and other buffer devices. The frame 10 also includes two other sides: two sides adjacent to the inlets and outlets. Two groups of lifting components 20 are fixedly mounted on the two adjacent sides of the inlets and outlets of the frame 10, and two groups of transplanting components 30 are fixedly mounted on the adjacent sides of the inlets and outlets of the frame 10, and each transplanting component 30 is located between the silo 50 and each lifting component 20. This layout of two groups of lifting components 20 and transplanting components 30 improves the stability of vertical lifting of the silo 50 and horizontal movement of the material 100, and steadily improves the reliability, stability, and utilization rate of the self-moving feeding device; at the same time, the overall exchange movement direction of the silo 50 is consistent with the transmission interaction direction of the material 100, which reduces the positioning and guiding costs and improves the transmission accuracy; in this embodiment, the interaction between the silo 50 and the material 100 can be achieved in two directions, and the self-moving feeding device can adapt to more application scenarios.
[0082] like Figure 3As shown, the self-moving material conveying device includes a transplanting assembly 30, and the transplanting assembly 30 includes a material moving part 31. The material moving part 31 is linearly arranged along the material transmission direction. The output end of the material moving part 31 is connected to a clamping part 32 for clamping or loosening the material 100, which is used to drive the clamping part 32 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the transmission direction of the material 100. The material moving part 31 drives the clamping part 32 to move to take out the material 100 to be processed in the bin 50, and / or recycle the processed material 100 to the bin 50. Specifically, the material moving part 31 includes a linear guide rail 311 arranged on at least one side of the frame 10 and a material moving cylinder 312 sliding along the linear guide rail 311. The material moving cylinder 312 is driven by a driving part. In other embodiments, the material moving part 31 can directly use a rodless cylinder, a linear motor, etc. instead of the linear guide rail 311 and the material moving cylinder 312. The clamping part 32 includes a clamping drive part 321, and the output end of the clamping drive part 321 is connected to two clamping pieces 322 that can move closer to or farther from each other. In order to ensure the stability of the conveyed material, two groups of the transplanting assembly 30 are arranged, respectively arranged on the adjacent two sides of the inlet and outlet of the frame 10, clamping and driving the material 100 in and out of each layer of the bin 50 from both sides, so that the material 100 will not deflect, and it is more stable and reliable. In other embodiments, the material moving part 31 can be connected to a ball screw by a motor, or a conveyor belt. In this embodiment, the clamping drive part 321 adopts a double-headed cylinder, and two clamping pieces 322 are arranged on both sides of the double-headed cylinder for clamping. The clamping drive part 321 drives the two clamping pieces 322 to clamp the single-piece material up and down along the transmission direction perpendicular to the material 100. In other embodiments, the drive can also be driven by a motor or an electric cylinder. Among them, the two clamping pieces 322 are long pieces to better match the sheet material 100. Furthermore, in order to avoid exceeding the moving range during material loading and unloading, a limit baffle 33 is provided at the beginning and the end of the moving line of the material moving part 31 to limit the moving distance of the material moving part 31, so that the clamping part 32 clamps the material 100 and moves a predetermined distance to avoid interference and safety accidents. In this embodiment, a limit baffle 33 is specifically provided at the moving end of the linear guide rail 311 to limit the moving distance of the material moving cylinder 312. Furthermore, in order to avoid interference between the silo 50 and the clamping part 32 when the silo 50 is lifted or lowered, the clamping part 32 includes a conveying position and an avoidance position. In the conveying position, the clamping part 32 clamps the material 100 in the silo 50, and in the avoidance position, the lifting assembly 20 drives the material 100 in the silo 50 to rise or fall. At the conveying position, the material moving part 31 drives the clamping part 32 to perform reciprocating linear motion along the conveying direction of the material 100 . The linear motion includes a starting position and an ending position. The limiting baffle 33 limits the clamping part 32 at the starting position and the ending position of the conveying direction of the material 100 .
[0083] In this embodiment, the transplanting assembly 30 further includes a rotating power member 34 to drive the clamping portion 32 to switch between the conveying position and the avoidance position; the rotating power member 34 is disposed on the material transfer cylinder 312, and the output end of the rotating power member 34 is connected to the clamping driving portion 321 to drive the clamping portion 32 to rotate. When the lifting assembly 20 drives the material bin 50 to rise or fall, the rotating power member 34 drives the clamping portion 32 to rotate into the avoidance position to avoid the material bin 50, and when the material bin 50 is adjusted and a single piece of material 100 needs to be loaded and unloaded, the rotating power member 34 again rotates the clamping portion 32 back to the conveying position, and then the two clamping pieces 322 begin to clamp the material 100 and move along the material transmission direction to convey the material 100. In this embodiment, the rotating power member 34 is a rotating cylinder, which is installed on the material transfer cylinder 312. The output end of the rotating power member 34 is provided with a rotating plate 341, and the clamping drive part 321 in the clamping part 32 is arranged on the rotating plate 341, thereby driving the entire clamping part 32 to rotate to realize the conversion between the conveying position and the avoidance position. In this real-time example, the rotation angle is 90 degrees, so that when the clamping part 32 is in the conveying position, the clamping piece 322 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the material 100, and when the clamping part 32 is in the avoidance position, the clamping piece 322 is parallel to the transmission direction of the material 100.

In other embodiments, the rotating power member 34 can be replaced by a motor.
[0084] Furthermore, in order to adapt to the height error between the feeding end and the discharging end of the circuit board processing equipment, in other embodiments, the feeding end can also be a buffer structure, and the transplanting assembly 30 also includes a lifting drive unit 35, which is arranged at the output end of the rotating power member 34, and the output end of the lifting drive unit 35 is connected to the clamping drive unit 321 to drive the clamping unit 32 to lift and lower, which is used to fine-tune the height of the clamping unit 32 in the vertical direction. The clamping unit 32 is used to clamp each layer of material 100 in the silo 50, and each silo 50 or each layer of the bin also has mechanical errors, so it is also necessary to fine-tune the position of the clamping unit 32 in the vertical direction to ensure that the clamping unit 32 accurately clamps the material 100 in each layer of the bin. In this embodiment, the lifting drive unit 35 uses a motor and a synchronous pulley connected to the motor, wherein the lifting drive unit 35 is arranged on the rotating plate 341, and the synchronous pulley is connected to a ball screw, and the nut on the ball screw is connected to the clamping drive unit 321, thereby driving the entire clamping unit 32 to lift and lower. In other embodiments, air cylinders or electric cylinders may be used to replace motors and synchronous pulleys for transmission.

When the adjustment output part 63 drives the eccentric wheel 64 to rotate, since the eccentric wheel 64 and the waist-shaped hole 65 are used, the eccentric wheel 64 will drive the adjustment plate 61 to slide on the movable slide rail 62, thereby fine-tuning the horizontal position of the silo 50, so that the position of the transplanting component 30 can be more precise when transferring materials.

Among them, a partition notch 54 is set on the opposite side of the silo partition 52, and the length direction of the partition notch 54 is parallel to the support bar 53.

Specifically, the conveying assembly 70 includes a conveying plate 71, and the conveying plate 71 is provided with a conveying power unit 72 and a conveying member 73 driven by the conveying power unit 72. In this embodiment, the conveying drive unit is driven by a motor, and the conveying member 73 is a plurality of power rollers arranged at intervals.

The conveying plate 71 is detachably arranged on the carrier plate 21, and the conveying direction of the conveying member 73 is arranged at intervals along the direction in which the clamping portion 32 moves the material 100. Furthermore, in order to allow the silo 50 to be aligned after entering the conveying member 73 to facilitate material loading and unloading, the conveying assembly 70 also includes a first regularizing plate 74 and a second regularizing plate 75 arranged on both sides of the conveying member 73, and the first regularizing plate 74 and the second regularizing plate 75 are arranged on the conveying plate 71; the conveying plate 71 is provided with a regularizing power unit 76, in this embodiment, the regularizing power unit 76 is a cylinder, and in other embodiments, a motor can also be used for driving, and the regularizing power unit 76 drives the first regularizing plate 74 and / or the second regularizing plate 75 to bring the two closer or farther away. In this embodiment, the first regularizing plate 74 is fixed on the conveying plate 71, and the output end of the regularizing power unit 76 is connected to the second regularizing plate 75. The conveying plate 71 is provided with a regularizing slideway 77 perpendicular to the conveying direction, and the second regularizing plate 75 is slidably connected to the regularizing slideway 77 to bring the second regularizing plate 75 closer to or farther away from the first regularizing plate 74.

[0091] like Figure 1 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 As shown, in order to facilitate automatic positioning, the self-moving feeding device also includes an information acquisition module 80, which is arranged on the frame 10 to identify the marks on the factory area and the feeding end. Specifically, the information acquisition module 80 is located on the side of the inlet and outlet of the silo 50; optionally, the information acquisition module 80 can also be arranged on the opposite side of the inlet and outlet of the silo 50, so that when the silo 50 has two inlets and outlets, it can load and unload materials on both sides of the silo 50. The information acquisition module is connected to the transplanting component 30, the lifting component 20 and the motion component 40 through an external control system. The external control system in this embodiment is arranged on the top of the frame 10 for electrical control. A control system such as PLC can be used, which will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, an intelligent camera is used. In other embodiments, the information acquisition module 80 can be other information acquisition modules such as lasers and photoelectric sensors to read the marks on the feeding end of the self-moving feeding device, so as to accurately and automatically approach and accurately align the feeding end, and complete the task of automatic loading and unloading of materials. The information acquisition module 80 is arranged on the frame 10. After obtaining the mark of the feed end, it guides the self-moving feed device to accurately align with the feed end of the circuit board processing equipment to ensure that the self-moving feed device recognizes the target feed end of the circuit board processing equipment, and before loading and unloading, controls the adjustment component 60 on the self-moving feed device to adjust and compensate the horizontal position of the silo 50 to accurately align with the feed end, and controls the lifting drive part 35 and / or the lifting component 20 of the self-moving feed device to adjust the vertical position of the silo 50 to accurately align with the feed end, thereby completing the precise alignment.

The traceability lifting member 91 in this embodiment adopts a cylinder. The lifting of the traceability lifting member 91 can drive the lifting of the code reader 92 to adapt to different silos 50.
[0093] The present embodiment also provides an automatic circuit board processing system for automatically loading and unloading materials 100 for processing. The system includes a self-moving feeding device and circuit board processing equipment. The self-moving feeding device can move to the feeding end of the circuit board processing equipment. The self-moving feeding device includes a clamping part 32 and a material moving part 31. The clamping part 32 is used to clamp the material 100 in the bin 50; the material moving part 31 on the self-moving feeding device drives the clamping part 32 to move so as to take out the material 100 to be processed in the bin 50 to the feeding end of the circuit board processing equipment; the self-moving feeding device can move to the feeding end of the circuit board processing equipment, and the material moving part 31 on the self-moving feeding device drives the clamping part 32 to move so as to retrieve the material 100 to be processed into the bin 50 to realize factory automation.
[0094] In an embodiment of the present application, a self-moving feeding device is used to load and unload materials to circuit board processing equipment, and the loading and unloading method includes the following steps: after the self-moving feeding device interacts with the buffer device to load the material bin 50, the loading material bin 50 moves by itself to approach or move away from the circuit board processing equipment.
[0095] First, the loading steps are as follows:
[0096] S1. After receiving the control signal from the host computer, the self-moving feeding device is controlled to move, and the inlet and outlet of the silo 50 is aligned with the feeding end of the circuit board processing equipment;
[0097] S2. The self-mobile feeding device controls the lifting assembly 20 to lift the silo 50 to a certain level of the chamber and align it with the feeding end;
[0098] S3. The self-moving feeding device controls the clamping portion 32 of the transplanting assembly 30 to rotate from the avoidance position to the conveying position;
[0099] S4. The clamping portion 32 clamps the material 100 in the silo 50 and controls the material transfer portion 31 of the transplanting assembly 30 to move linearly to move the material 100 in the layer of the silo out of the silo 50 to the feeding end of the circuit board processing equipment.
[0100] At this point, the self-moving conveying device has completed the conveying of a piece of material 100 from the silo 50 to the circuit board processing equipment. Since the self-moving conveying device belongs to a single silo to complete the process of loading and unloading, loading and unloading are performed alternately. After one loading is completed, the circuit board processing equipment processes the material, and the self-moving conveying device is ready to unload the material, so as to transfer the processed material 100 from the feeding end of the circuit board processing equipment to the silo 50.
[0101] The cutting process includes the following steps:
[0102] S51: Control the clamping part 32 to rotate from the end position of the conveying position to the avoidance position;
[0103] S52: Control the lifting assembly 20 to lift the material bin 50 to another layer of the bin chamber and align it with the material feeding end;
[0104] S53: receiving the processed material 100, and controlling the clamping part 32 to rotate from the avoidance position to the end position of the conveying position;
[0105] S54: The clamping portion 32 clamps the received material 100 and controls the material moving portion 31 of the transplanting assembly 30 to move linearly to move the processed material 100 into another layer of the bin 50.
[0106] The circuit board processing equipment includes a variety of spindle layout structures. When a self-moving feeding device needs to feed materials to the feeding ends of the processing stations of multiple circuit board processing equipment, for example, to feed materials to at least two processing stations, there is a continuous feeding process. Therefore, the continuous feeding process also includes the following steps:
[0107] S61. Control the material transfer unit 31 to move linearly from the end position back to the starting position;
[0108] S62. Control the clamping part 32 to rotate from the conveying position to the avoidance position,
[0109] S63 . Control the lifting assembly 20 to lift the silo 50 to adjust the material 100 to the height of the conveying end and continue to execute S4 to complete the conveying of the material 100 in the silo 50 .
[0110] In other embodiments, the circuit board processing equipment further includes a material unloading process, and after completing the material loading process of S1 to S4, it further includes the following steps:
[0111] S71: Control the clamping part 32 to move linearly from the end position of the conveying position to the starting position; control the clamping part 32 to rotate from the starting position of the conveying position to the avoidance position;
[0112] S72: Control the lifting assembly 20 to lift the silo 50 until it is aligned with the feeding end;
[0113] S73: Control the clamping part 32 to rotate from the avoidance position to the starting position of the conveying position; control the clamping part 32 to move linearly to the end position;
[0114] S74: receiving the processed material 100, the clamping part 32 clamps the received material 100, and controls the material moving part 31 of the transplanting assembly 30 to move linearly to move the processed material 100 into the silo 50.
[0115] In the above-mentioned embodiment of loading and unloading of the self-moving feeding device, before the clamping part 32 clamps the material 100 in the silo 50, it also includes that the lifting drive part 35 drives the clamping part 32 to move up and down in the vertical direction, fine-tunes the position to adapt to the position of the material 100 in each layer of the bin, and more accurately aligns and clamps the material 100. In the process of the clamping part 32 clamping the material 100 in the silo 50, it also includes that the clamping drive part 321 drives the two clamping pieces 322 to move in the vertical direction to stably clamp the material 100 or release the material 100. Moving the material 100 into the silo 50 or moving the material 100 out of the bin also includes: controlling the clamping drive part 321 to drive the two clamping pieces 322 to move to release the material 100.
[0116] Controlling the self-moving feeding device to move to the feeding end of the circuit board processing equipment also includes: after receiving the control signal of the upper computer, controlling the self-moving feeding device to move, and the inlet and outlet of the silo 50 completes the rough docking with the feeding end of the circuit board processing equipment; after the information acquisition module 80 obtains the mark of the feeding end, controlling the adjustment component 60 on the self-moving feeding device to adjust and compensate the horizontal position of the silo 50 to accurately align with the feeding end, and controlling the lifting drive part 35 and / or the lifting component 20 of the self-moving feeding device to adjust the vertical position of the silo 50 to accurately align with the feeding end, thereby completing the fine alignment.
[0117] The process of this embodiment is described in detail below:
[0118] The AGV drives the transplanting component 30 and the lifting component 20 to move in the processing area and the material area. The information acquisition module 80 performs autonomous positioning through the marking points set on the factory area and the circuit board processing equipment. The appropriate self-moving feeding device is selected according to different scenarios. For example, if the adjustment plate 61 is provided with an insert block 57, the manual loading and unloading bin mode is adopted, and a single bin is used for the processing of large batches of work orders; and if the adjustment plate 61 is provided with a cone pin 59, the manual loading and unloading bin mode is adopted, and multiple bins 50 are stacked to suit the processing of multiple material numbers; and when the conveying component 70 is provided on the carrier plate 21, the automatic loading and unloading bin mode is adopted. The manual loading and unloading is performed by a forklift to place the bin 50 on the insert block 57 or the cone pin 59 for fixing, and then the lifting component 20 is used to lift it.
[0119] When automatic loading and unloading is adopted, the AGV vehicle moves to the designated loading position to prepare to receive the silo 50, the roller rotates to feed the material, and after the acceleration sensor 78 senses the silo 50, the conveying power unit 72 drives the power roller to accelerate, and the silo 50 accelerates the conveying. After the deceleration sensor senses the silo 50, the conveying power unit 72 drives the power roller to decelerate, slowly decelerates, and the silo 50 decelerates for conveying. When the in-place sensor senses the silo 50, the conveying power unit 72 drives the driving roller to stop; after the silo 50 stops, the regularizing power unit 76 drives the second regularizing plate 75 to approach the first regularizing plate 74 to regularize the silo 50 to one place to ensure the positioning accuracy, and the loading silo process is completed.
[0120] Then the AGV vehicle enters the designated processing position according to the marking point. When the inlet and outlet of the silo 50 completes the rough docking with the feed end of the circuit board processing equipment, the information acquisition module 80 identifies the mark of the feed end of the processing equipment at the processing position. After it is in place, the adjustment component 60 compensates for the position error by adjusting the position of the adjustment plate 61. Then the lifting component 20 lifts the carrier plate 21 to lift the silo 50, lifts it to the designated position and aligns it with the feed end, and the transplanting component 30 moves at the same time for position compensation. The rotating power part 34 drives the clamping part 32 to rotate from the avoidance position to the conveying position to the position of the material 100. Then the two clamping pieces 322 of the clamping part 32 begin to clamp the material 100, and move linearly through the transfer part 31 to move the material 100 out of the silo 50, and the material 100 is received by the processing equipment. It should be explained that the material moving part 31 does not move the entire body of the material 100 out of the silo 50 during transportation. Only a portion of the material 100 needs to be sent out to be received by the circuit board processing equipment. Therefore, there will be no interference between the material moving part 31 and the silo rack 51. Then the material moving part 31 moves straightly from the end position back to the starting position; the clamping part 32 is controlled to rotate from the conveying position to the avoidance position, and the lifting component 20 is controlled to lift the silo 50 to adjust the material 100 to the height of the feeding end. Through the movement of the silo 50, all the materials 100 in the silo 50 can be transported to the processing equipment. During the movement of the silo 50, the rotating power part 34 will drive the clamping part 32 to avoid the position; then when all the materials 100 are processed, the processed materials 100 can be retrieved, which is still the information acquisition module 8. 0 identifies the mark of the material feeding end of the processing equipment, the lifting assembly 20 lifts the bin 50 to align with the material feeding end, and the transplanting assembly 30 moves at the same time to compensate for the position, the clamping part 32 rotates from the avoidance position to the conveying position, the material transfer part 31 moves linearly from the starting position to the end position, and the two clamping pieces 322 begin to clamp the processed material 100 conveyed by the circuit board processing equipment, and the material transfer part 31 moves linearly from the end position to the starting position to move the processed material 100 of the circuit board processing equipment into the bin 50. In addition, it can also be set to send out the material 100 to be processed while recycling the processed material 100.
