Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of processing equipment technology, and specifically to a processing system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the processing of some parts (such as circuit boards), operators need to place the parts directly onto the processing machine for processing. However, the processing machine has many processing tools, which may cause injury to the operator. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a processing system that avoids the need for an operator to place the workpiece directly on the processing table, thereby improving safety.

[0004] This application provides a processing system, the processing system comprising:

[0005] A loading platform, comprising a first housing and a transition device supported on the first housing; and

[0006] A processing machine includes a second housing and a transfer device carried in the second housing. The second housing has a processing chamber. The transfer device includes a transfer platform movable relative to the second housing. The transfer platform has a first position close to the transfer device and a second position away from the transfer device. When the transfer platform is in the first position, the orthographic projection of the transfer platform onto the transfer device falls at least partially within the area of ​​the transfer device, and the transfer device is used to lift a workpiece to be processed onto the transfer platform so that the transfer platform can fix the workpiece to be processed. The transfer platform is used to transport the workpiece to be processed from the first position to the second position to enter the processing chamber.

[0007] The processing system provided in this application includes a loading platform and a processing platform. The loading platform is equipped with a transition device, and the processing platform is equipped with a transfer device. When the transfer frame in the transfer device is in the first position, the transition device can lift the workpiece to be processed onto the transfer frame, so that the transfer frame can fix the workpiece. After the transfer frame fixes the workpiece, it can be moved from the first position to the second position, thereby entering the processing chamber of the processing platform. As can be seen from the above process, the process of moving the workpiece into the processing chamber is completed by the cooperation of the loading platform and the processing platform, without manual operation, thus improving operational safety. Furthermore, the processing chamber is usually small, making it inconvenient for the operator to accurately place the workpiece. When the transfer frame is in the second position, it is located inside the processing chamber, thereby improving the placement accuracy of the workpiece. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] In this document, references to "embodiment" or "implementation" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment or implementation may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a processing system 1, which includes a loading platform 2 and a processing platform 3. The loading platform 2 and the processing platform 3 are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 The feeding machine 2 includes a first housing 200 and a transition device 100 supported on the first housing 200.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The processing machine 3 includes a second housing 400 and a transfer device 500 supported on the second housing 400. The second housing 400 has a processing chamber Y1. The transfer device 500 includes a transfer frame 510 movable relative to the second housing 400 (see reference). Figure 3 The transfer platform 510 has a first position S1 near the transition device 100 (see reference). Figure 4 , Figure 4The transition device 100 is not shown in the diagram, and the second position S2 away from the transition device 100 (see reference). Figure 5 , Figure 5 The transition device 100 is shown in the diagram. When the transfer table 510 is in the first position S1, the orthographic projection of the transfer table 510 onto the transition device 100 at least partially falls within the area of ​​the transition device 100, and the transition device 100 is used to lift the workpiece 7 to be processed onto the transfer table 510 so that the transfer table 510 can hold the workpiece 7. The transfer table 510 is used to transport the workpiece 7 from the first position S1 to the second position S2 to enter the processing chamber Y1.

[0047] Specifically, the loading platform 2 and the processing platform 3 are placed opposite each other. The loading platform 2 is used to hold the workpiece 7 to be processed. The processing platform 3 is used to process the workpiece 7. The transition device 100 of the loading platform 2 is located on the first housing 200 near the second housing 400. The transfer device 500 of the processing platform 3 is located on the second housing 400 near the first housing 200. The transition device 100 can transport the workpiece 7 to the transfer device 500. The transfer table 510 of the transfer device 500 can move back and forth between the first position S1 and the second position S2 to realize the transfer of the workpiece 7.

[0048] The transfer device 500 is at least partially located within the processing chamber Y1, and when the transfer table 510 is in the second position S2, the transfer table 510 is located within the processing chamber Y1.

[0049] When the transfer table 510 is in the first position S1, the transfer table 510 and the transition device 100 are spaced apart and opposite each other, with the transfer table 510 directly above the transition device 100. At this time, the transition device 100 can lift the workpiece 7 to be processed, causing the workpiece 7 to move towards the transfer table 510. After the workpiece 7 is lifted to the transfer table 510, the transfer table 510 fixes the workpiece 7, and then transports the workpiece 7 from the first position S1 to the second position S2 to enter the processing chamber Y1 of the second chassis 400. The workpiece 7 will be processed in the processing chamber Y1.

[0050] Optionally, the transfer table 510 can also transfer the workpiece 7 from the second position S2 to the first position S1. Specifically, after the workpiece 7 has been processed in the processing chamber Y1, the transfer table 510 transports the workpiece 7 from the second position S2 to the first position S1. After the transfer table 510 carries the workpiece 7 to the second position S2, it releases the workpiece 7, so that the workpiece 7 is once again carried on the transition device 100.

[0051] One or more transition devices 100 can be set in the same feeding machine 2. When there are multiple devices, batch transfer of the workpieces 7 to be processed can be realized, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0052] It should be noted that the transfer table 510 can fix the workpiece 7 to be processed in a manner that is not limited to magnetic adsorption, negative pressure adsorption, clamping, gripping, etc. The following embodiments of this application use clamping as an example for illustration.

[0053] The processing system 1 provided in this application includes a loading platform 2 and a processing platform 3. The loading platform 2 is equipped with a transition device 100, and the processing platform 3 is equipped with a transfer device 500. When the transfer frame 510 in the transfer device 500 is in the first position S1, the transition device 100 can lift the workpiece 7 to be processed onto the transfer frame 510, so that the transfer frame 510 can fix the workpiece 7. After the transfer frame 510 fixes the workpiece 7, it can move from the first position S1 to the second position S2, thereby entering the processing chamber Y1 in the processing platform 3. As can be seen from the above process, the process of moving the workpiece 7 into the processing chamber Y1 is completed by the cooperation of the loading platform 2 and the processing platform 3, without the need for manual operation, thereby improving operational safety. In addition, the processing chamber Y1 is usually set to be small, which makes it inconvenient for the operator to accurately place the workpiece 7. However, when the transfer frame is in the second position S2, the transfer frame is located inside the processing chamber Y1, thereby improving the placement accuracy of the workpiece 7.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 Optionally, the workpiece 7 to be processed includes a plate 71 and at least one positioning post 72 (this application illustrates this with two positioning posts 72), the positioning post 72 protruding from one side of the plate 71. During the transfer process, the plate 71 is supported by the transition device 100, and the positioning post 72 is used to position the plate 71 during the transfer process to ensure that the movement of the workpiece 7 to be processed does not deviate from the set path. The workpiece 7 to be processed may be, but is not limited to, a printed circuit board (PCB).

[0055] Please refer to Figures 8 to 9The loading platform 2 further includes a pusher device 300, which is located at the end of the first housing 200 away from the transition device 100. The pusher device 300 includes a base 320 and a pusher assembly 310 supported on the base 320. The pusher assembly 310 can extend or retract relative to the base 320. When the pusher assembly 310 extends, it abuts against and pushes the workpiece 7 placed in the first housing 200 to the transition device 100. When the workpiece 7 reaches the transition device 100 and stops, the pusher assembly 310 retracts under the abutment of the workpiece 7.

[0056] Specifically, the first housing 200 includes a first end and a second end that are far apart. The first end is the end of the first housing 200 furthest from the processing table 3, and the second end is the end of the first housing 200 closest to the processing table 3. A pusher device 300 is disposed at the first end, and a transition device 100 is disposed at the second end. Optionally, the direction from the first end to the second end is parallel to the direction from the first position S1 to the second position S2. The first housing 200 is used to hold the workpiece 7 to be processed. The pusher device 300 can move on the first housing 200, and the workpiece 7 placed on the first housing 200 is pushed onto the transition device 100 by the pusher device 300. When the workpiece 7 has at least partially moved to the transition device 100, it will be stopped by the obstruction of the transition device 100. Therefore, for the workpiece 7, the transition device 100 can also serve a positioning function to ensure that each workpiece 7 moves to the same position on the transition device 100, thereby improving the transfer accuracy of subsequent processes.

[0057] Furthermore, the pusher device 300 is provided with a pusher assembly 310 for pushing the workpiece 7 to be processed. The pusher assembly 310 is used to push the edge of the plate 71. The pusher assembly 310 is retractable relative to the base 320. When the pusher assembly 310 is extended, it pushes the workpiece 7 to move towards the transition device 100. Since the workpiece 7 will stop moving after reaching the transition device 100, the pusher assembly 310 will retract relative to the base 320. It can be understood that the retractable function of the pusher assembly 310 can prevent the workpiece 7 from being bent or even damaged by strong pushing.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 10The pusher assembly 310 may include a push rod 311 and a sleeve 312. The sleeve 312 is supported by the base 320. The base 320 has a receiving cavity Y4. The push rod 311 is disposed within the receiving cavity Y4 and can move within the receiving cavity Y4 to extend or retract. The push rod 311 includes a push head 3111, a rod body 3112, and a piston body 3113 connected in sequence, wherein the push head 3111 is used to push against the edge of the workpiece 7 to be processed, and the piston body 3113 is disposed within the receiving cavity Y4. When the push head 3111 moves away from the sleeve 312, the pusher assembly 310 is in an extended state. When the push head 3111 moves closer to the sleeve 312, the pusher assembly 310 is in a retracted state. The processing system 1 also includes a pressure supply device for introducing liquid or gas (hereinafter collectively referred to as fluid) into the receiving cavity Y4. The fluid can be introduced into the receiving cavity Y4 located on the side of the piston body 3113 opposite to the push head 3111. The fluid is used to provide pressure to the push rod 311 so that the pusher assembly 310 remains in the extended state. When the workpiece 7 stops moving due to the obstruction of the transition device 100, the force exerted by the workpiece 7 on the push rod 311 is greater than the force exerted by the fluid on the push rod 311. Therefore, the push rod 311 will retract into the sleeve 312.

[0059] Optionally, the direction of movement of the pusher device 300 is parallel to the direction from the first position S1 to the second position S2. Correspondingly, the direction of movement of the workpiece 7 driven by the pusher assembly 310 is parallel to the direction from the first position S1 to the second position S2.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 9 The pusher device 300 further includes a first detector 330, which is supported on the base 320 and is used to detect whether the pusher assembly 310 is retracted.

[0061] Specifically, the first detector 330 is directly or indirectly supported on the base 320, while the pusher assembly 310 moves relative to the base 320 when it extends and retracts, and thus moves relative to the first detector 330. Therefore, the first detector 330 can detect whether the pusher assembly 310 has retracted by the relative movement of the push rod 311. In the relevant figures of this application, the first detector 330 is fixed on the sleeve 312, and thus indirectly supported on the base 320.

[0062] The first detector 330 can detect whether the pusher assembly 310 has retracted, but is not limited to, using principles such as changes in magnetic field or capacitance. Correspondingly, the first detector 330 can be, but is not limited to, a Hall sensor, a proximity switch, etc.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 10Taking a magnetic field as an example, a magnetic element 313 (such as a magnet) can be installed on the push rod 311, and the magnetic element 313 moves with the push rod 311. This magnetic element 313 can be located at the end of the piston body 3113 opposite to the push head 3111. The first detector 330 can detect whether the push rod 311 is moving by sensing changes in the magnetic field of the magnetic element 313. In one embodiment, the first detector 330 can be a Hall sensor, which can sense the magnetic field of the magnetic element 313 in real time. Since the Hall sensor is directly or indirectly supported by the base 320, when the push rod 311 moves, the magnitude of the magnetic field sensed by the Hall sensor will change, thereby determining whether the pusher assembly 310 is in an extended or retracted state. In another embodiment, the first detector 330 can be a proximity switch. When the push rod 311 extends, the magnetic element 313 moves away from the proximity switch; when the push rod 311 retracts, the magnetic element 313 moves closer to the proximity switch. When the magnetic element 313 moves closer to the proximity switch, the proximity switch will generate a sense, thereby determining whether the pusher assembly 310 is in an extended or retracted state. Of course, the first detector 330 can also detect whether the pusher assembly 310 is retracted in other ways, which will not be described in detail here.

[0064] Optionally, the processing system 1 further includes a controller and a drive device. The controller is connected to the first detector 330, the pressure supply device, and the drive device, respectively. The drive device is connected to the pusher device 300 and is used to drive the pusher device 300 to move. When the controller detects through the first detector 330 that the pusher assembly 310 has retracted, the controller controls the drive device to stop driving the pusher device 300 and controls the drive device to drive the pusher device 300 back to the first end of the first housing 200. Furthermore, the controller also controls the pressure supply device to stop providing pressure to the push rod 311. After the pusher device 300 returns to the first end, the controller controls the pressure supply device to provide pressure to the push rod 311 again, causing the pusher assembly 310 to be in the extended state again. It is understood that the above control process can prevent the workpiece 7 from being bent or even damaged by strong pushing.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 10 Optionally, the pusher assembly 310 further includes an elastic element 314, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rod body 3112 and disposed between the push head 3111 and the piston body 3113. When the pusher assembly 310 is in the extended state, the elastic element 314 is in a first compressed state. When the pusher assembly 310 is in the retracted state, the elastic element 314 is in a second compressed state, where the compression amount in the first compressed state is greater than that in the second compressed state. The elastic element 314 is used to maintain the pusher assembly 310 in the retracted state and prevent the push rod 311 from wobbling within the receiving cavity Y4.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 11 The pusher device 300 further includes a chuck assembly 340. The chuck assembly 340 is supported on the support base. The chuck assembly 340 includes a chuck base 341, a first chuck 342, and a second chuck 343. The first chuck 342 is rotatably connected to the chuck base 341, and the second chuck 343 is fixedly connected to the chuck base 341. The first chuck 342 and the second chuck 343 are arranged opposite to each other. When the first chuck 342 rotates, the end of the first chuck 342 away from the chuck base 341 can move closer to or further away from the second chuck 343. The first chuck 342 and the second chuck 343 work together to clamp the workpiece 7 to be processed. When the workpiece 7 is transported from the transfer table 510 to the transition device 100, the controller controls the chuck assembly 340 of the pusher device 300 to clamp the workpiece 7. The clamped workpiece 7 is located between the first chuck 342 and the second chuck 343. Then, the controller controls the pusher device 300 to drive the workpiece 7 back to the first end of the first housing 200.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 12 The transition device 100 includes a support base 130 and a plurality of lifting members 140. The plurality of lifting members 140 are supported on the support base 130 and are spaced apart along the periphery of the support base 130. The support base 130 is used to support the workpiece 7 to be processed. When the transfer table 510 is in the first position S1, the plurality of lifting members 140 are used to drive the workpiece 7 to be processed to move toward the transfer table 510.

[0068] Specifically, the support base 130 is used to support the workpiece 7 to be processed. The lifting member 140 can extend or retract in the direction of the transition device 100 pointing towards the transfer table 510 (in the first position S1). When the lifting member 140 extends, it abuts against the plate 71 of the workpiece 7 to be processed, the workpiece 7 disengages from the support base 130 and gradually moves towards the transfer table 510 until the plate 71 of the workpiece 7 contacts the transfer table 510, and then the lifting member 140 retracts.

[0069] When the transfer table 510 (in the first position S1) needs to transfer the workpiece 7 to the transition device 100 (at this time, the workpiece 7 is fixed on the transfer table 510), firstly, the lifting member 140 extends until it abuts against the plate 71 of the workpiece 7. Then, the transfer table 510 releases the workpiece 7 (i.e., it no longer fixes the workpiece 7). After that, the lifting member 140 lifts the workpiece 7 and gradually shortens it. The workpiece 7 will approach the transition device 100 as the lifting member 140 shortens until the workpiece 7 is supported on the support base 130.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 12The lifting member 140 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc. Taking a cylinder as an example, the cylinder includes a lifting rod 141 and a cylinder body 142. The lifting rod 141 is inserted into the cylinder body 142 and can move relative to the cylinder body 142. The direction of movement of the lifting rod 141 is parallel to the direction of the transition device 100 pointing towards the transfer table 510 (in the first position S1). When the lifting rod 141 moves towards the transfer table 510, the lifting member 140 extends; when the lifting rod 141 moves away from the transfer table 510, the lifting member 140 shortens. The lifting rod 141 is used to lift the workpiece 7 to be processed, and the cylinder body 142 is directly or indirectly supported by the support base 130.

[0071] Please refer to Figures 12 to 14 The support base 130 has a guide channel Y2, which is used to accommodate two positioning posts 72 on the workpiece 7 to be processed; that is, the two positioning posts 72 are inserted into the guide channel Y2. The transition device 100 also includes a first guide assembly 110 supported on the support base 130, which is located at the end of the support base 130 away from the processing table 3. The first guide assembly 110 has a first opening K1 and a second opening K2. The second opening K2 is disposed opposite to the guide channel Y2. Please refer to... Figure 13 When the first opening K1 is in the open state, the second opening K2 is in the limited state, and the first opening K1 is used to guide the positioning post 72 to the second opening K2 so that the positioning post 72 enters the guide channel Y2 through the second opening K2.

[0072] Specifically, the guide channel Y2 has a certain length, and its width is slightly larger than the radial dimension of the positioning post 72 on the workpiece 7. Optionally, the extension direction of the guide channel Y2 is parallel to the direction from the first position S1 to the second position S2. When the workpiece 7 moves to the transition device 100, the positioning post 72 on the workpiece 7 enters the guide channel Y2. It can be understood that the guide channel Y2 can limit the movement direction of the positioning post 72, preventing the workpiece 7 from tilting relative to the transition device 100, thereby ensuring that the workpiece 7 can be smoothly lifted onto the transfer table 510.

[0073] During the process of the workpiece 7 being pushed to the transition device 100 by the pusher device 300, the positioning post 72 first needs to pass through the connected first opening K1 and second opening K2 in sequence, and then enter the guide channel Y2 through the second opening K2. The first opening K1 can be in an open state, and the second opening K2 is in a limited state. The open state refers to a larger opening, and the limited state refers to a smaller opening. Therefore, when the first opening K1 is open, the positioning post 72 can easily enter the first opening K1, and then be guided from the first opening K1 to the second opening K2, and then from the second opening K2 to the guide channel Y2.

[0074] Optionally, the direction in which the first opening K1 points to the second opening K2 is parallel to the direction in which the first position S1 points to the second position S2.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 13 The transition device 100 further includes a second guide assembly 120 supported on a support base 130, the second guide assembly 120 being disposed at one end of the support base 130 near the processing table 3. The second guide assembly 120 has a third opening K3 and a fourth opening K4. The third opening K3 is disposed opposite to the guide channel Y2. Please refer to... Figure 14 When the fourth opening K4 is in the open state, the third opening K3 is in the limited state, and the fourth opening K4 is used to guide the positioning post 72 to the third opening K3 so that the positioning post 72 enters the guide channel Y2 through the third opening K3.

[0076] As mentioned earlier, when the transfer table 510 is in the first position S1, the transfer table 510 is located directly above the transition device 100. In order to ensure that the workpiece 7 to be processed on the transfer table 510 is accurately placed onto the transition device 100, the positioning post 72 needs to be located within the guide channel Y2.

[0077] In this embodiment, the second guide component 120 is located at one end of the support base 130 near the processing table 3. During the process of the transfer table 510 moving the workpiece 7 to be processed from the second position S2 to the first position S1, when the fourth opening K4 is in the open state, the positioning post 72 can be easily entered into the fourth opening K4, and then the positioning post 72 is guided from the fourth opening K4 to the third opening K3, and then from the third opening K3 to the guide channel Y2.

[0078] Optionally, the direction in which the third opening K3 points to the fourth opening K4 is parallel to the direction in which the first position S1 points to the second position S2.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14The first opening K1 and the third opening K3 are in the same state, the second opening K2 and the fourth opening K4 are in the same state, and the first opening K1 and the second opening K2 are in different states. In other words, please refer to... Figure 13 When the first opening K1 is open, the third opening K3 is also open, and the second opening K2 and the fourth opening K4 are in a limited position. Please refer to... Figure 14 When the first opening K1 is in a limited state, the third opening K3 is in a limited state, and the second opening K2 and the fourth opening K4 are in an open state.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 15 The first guiding component 110 includes a first sub-component 111 and a second sub-component 112 that are rotatably connected. The first sub-component 111 and the second sub-component 112 together form a first opening K1 and a second opening K2 that are connected. When the first sub-component 111 rotates, the second sub-component 112 will rotate with the first sub-component 111. Alternatively, when the second sub-component 112 rotates, the first sub-component 111 will rotate with the second sub-component 112.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 15 The second guiding component 120 includes a third sub-component 121 and a fourth sub-component 122 that are rotatably connected. The third sub-component 121 and the fourth sub-component 122 together form a communicating third opening K3 and a fourth opening K4. When the third sub-component 121 rotates, the fourth sub-component 122 will rotate with it. Alternatively, when the fourth sub-component 122 rotates, the third sub-component 121 will rotate with it.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 15 The transition device 100 further includes a connecting rod 170, which is connected to the first guide component 110 and the second guide component 120 so that the first guide component 110 and the second guide component 120 move synchronously.

[0083] In one embodiment, the link 170 can be connected to the second sub-component 112 and the fourth sub-component 122 respectively, and the second sub-component 112 and the fourth sub-component 122 are linked together through the link 170.

[0084] In another embodiment, the link 170 can also be connected to the first sub-component 111 and the third sub-component 121 respectively, and the first sub-component 111 and the third sub-component 121 are linked together through the link 170.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 16The transition device 100 further includes a drive assembly 150 supported on the support base 130. The drive assembly 150 drives the first guide assembly 110 and the second guide assembly 120 to change the state of the first opening K1, the second opening K2, the third opening K3, and the fourth opening K4. The drive assembly 150 can drive any one of the first sub-assembly 111, the second sub-assembly 112, the third sub-assembly 121, and the fourth sub-assembly 122 to rotate, thereby causing the first guide assembly 110 and the second guide assembly 120 to move in tandem.

[0086] Specifically, the driving component 150 can drive the first guiding component 110, causing the sizes of the first opening K1 and the second opening K2 to change, and the trends of change are opposite, that is, when the first opening K1 increases, the second opening K2 decreases, and when the first opening K1 decreases, the second opening K2 increases. The enlarged first opening K1 (or second opening K2) is in an open state, which facilitates the entry of the positioning post 72 on the workpiece. The reduced first opening K1 (or second opening K2) is in a limited state, which limits the position of the positioning post 72.

[0087] Similarly, the driving component 150 can drive the second guiding component 120, causing the sizes of the third opening K3 and the fourth opening K4 to change, and the trends of their changes are opposite, that is, when the third opening K3 increases, the fourth opening K4 decreases, and when the third opening K3 decreases, the fourth opening K4 increases. The increased third opening K3 (or fourth opening K4) is in an open state, which facilitates the entry of the positioning post 72 on the workpiece. The decreased third opening K3 (or fourth opening K4) is in a limited state, which limits the position of the positioning post 72.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 17The support base 130 includes a base 131, a first bending plate 132, and a second bending plate 133. The base 131 includes a bottom plate portion 1311, a first side plate portion 1312, and a second side plate portion 1313. The first side plate portion 1312 and the second side plate portion 1313 are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively bent and connected to opposite ends of the bottom plate portion 1311. The first bending plate 132 includes a first top plate portion 1321 and a first limiting portion 1322 bent and connected. The second bending plate 133 includes a second top plate portion 1331 and a second limiting portion 1332 bent and connected. The end of the first top plate portion 1321 away from the first limiting portion 1322 is connected to the first side plate portion 1312, and the end of the first limiting portion 1322 away from the first top plate portion 1321 is connected to the bottom plate portion 1311. The end of the second top plate portion 1331 away from the second limiting portion 1332 is connected to the second side plate portion 1313, and the end of the second limiting portion 1332 away from the second top plate portion 1331 is connected to the bottom plate portion 1311. The first limiting portion 1322 and the second limiting portion 1332 are arranged opposite to each other and at intervals to jointly form the guide channel Y2.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 12 The support base 130 also includes a plurality of rollers 134, which are rotatably connected to the base 131 and arranged circumferentially along the base 131. In the direction from the base plate portion 1311 to the first top plate portion 1321 and the second top plate portion 1331, the rollers 134 protrude from the first top plate portion 1321 and the second top plate portion 1331. It is understood that the plate body 71 of the workpiece 7 has a certain volume. When the workpiece 7 moves to the transition device 100, the plate body 71 can be supported by the rollers 134, thereby allowing the workpiece to move smoothly and travel along the extension direction of the guide channel Y2. Simultaneously, the rollers 134 are rotatable, thereby reducing wear on the workpiece 7 during its movement.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 The transition device 100 further includes a blocking assembly 160 supported on the support base 130. The blocking assembly 160 is disposed at one end of the first bending plate 132 and the second bending plate 133 near the second guide assembly 120. The blocking assembly 160 includes a blocking member 161. The orthographic projection of the blocking member 161 onto the first top plate portion 1321 and the second top plate portion 1331 at least partially falls between the first top plate portion 1321 and the second top plate portion 1331. In the direction from the bottom plate portion 1311 to the first top plate portion 1321 and the second top plate portion 1331, the blocking member 161 protrudes from the bottom plate portion 1311, and the blocking member 161 is at least partially located on the path from the guide channel Y2 to the third opening K3, that is, the blocking member 161 is at least partially located between the guide channel Y2 and the third opening K3.

[0091] When the workpiece 7 is supported on the support base 130, the height of the positioning post 72 of the workpiece 7 from the base plate 1311 is a first preset height. When the positioning post 72 moves from the guide channel Y2 to the third opening K3, the height of the blocking member 161 protruding from the base plate 1311 is a first height, which is greater than the first preset height. Therefore, the blocking member 161 at the first height will prevent the positioning post 72 from continuing to move towards the third opening K3, thereby forcing the workpiece 7 to stop moving. This can prevent the workpiece 7 from moving excessively and causing the conveyor frame to fail to accurately clamp the workpiece 7. In other words, the blocking member 161 plays a positioning role so that the conveyor frame can accurately clamp the workpiece 7.

[0092] Optional, please refer to Figure 19 The blocking assembly 160 further includes a power component 162 connected to the blocking member 161. The power component 162 is used to drive the blocking member 161 to move in the direction from the bottom plate portion 1311 to the first top plate portion 1321 and the second top plate portion 1331, so as to change the height of the blocking member 161 protruding from the bottom plate portion 1311. When the workpiece 7 is clamped by the conveyor frame, the height of the positioning post 72 of the workpiece 7 from the bottom plate portion 1311 is a second preset height. At this time, the power component 162 can be controlled by the controller to drive the blocking member 161 to move, so that the height of the blocking member 161 protruding from the bottom plate portion 1311 is the second height, which is less than the second preset height. This ensures that during the process of the conveyor frame moving the workpiece 7 from the first position S1 to the second position S2, the blocking member 161 no longer obstructs the positioning post 72.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 18 Optionally, the blocking member 161 is further provided with a limiting groove Y5, which is located on the side of the blocking member 161 near the first guide assembly 110. The limiting groove Y5 is used to accommodate at least a portion of the positioning posts 72 on the workpiece. Since the width of the guide channel Y2 is greater than that of the positioning posts 72, the stopping positions of the positioning posts 72 on different workpieces will be different. With the limiting groove Y5, the positioning posts 72 on different workpieces will all move into the limiting groove Y5, thereby improving the stopping accuracy of the workpiece and the accuracy of the conveyor table in holding the workpiece 7 to be processed will also be higher.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 20 and Figure 21The transfer table 510 includes a support plate 511 and a clamping assembly 512. The support plate 511 has a first surface M1 and a second surface M2 arranged opposite to each other. When the transfer table 510 is in the first position S1, the second surface M2 faces the transition device 100. The clamping assembly 512 is mounted on the first surface M1 and is used to cooperate with the second surface M2 to clamp the workpiece 7 to be processed. In other words, when the lifting member 140 lifts the plate body 71 of the workpiece 7 to be processed and attaches it to the second surface M2, the clamping assembly 512 cooperates with the second surface M2 to clamp the plate body 71. It is understood that since the workpiece 7 to be processed needs to be fixed on the second surface M2 of the support plate 511, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the second surface M2 to avoid interference from external objects that would prevent the workpiece 7 from being clamped. Therefore, by mounting the clamping assembly 512 on the first surface M1 of the support plate 511 opposite to the second surface M2, the interference of foreign objects with the fixation of the workpiece 7 can be reduced or avoided.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22 The clamping assembly 512 includes a curved clamping member 5121, which has a connecting end D1 and a clamping end D2. The connecting end D1 extends curvedly to the clamping end D2. The connecting end D1 is rotatably connected to the support plate 511. The clamping end D2 is used to cooperate with the second surface M2 of the support plate 511 to clamp the workpiece 7 to be processed. The clamping member 5121 has a clamping state that clamps the workpiece 7 to be processed and an open state that releases the workpiece 7 to be processed. The clamping state and the open state are switched by rotating the clamping member 5121. When the clamping member 5121 is in the clamping state (e.g. Figure 22 As shown in the figure, the dashed line represents the workpiece 7 to be processed. The orthographic projection of the clamping end D2 on the support plate 511 falls within the range of the support plate 511 and faces the second surface M2 of the support plate 511.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 22 and Figure 23 The connecting end D1 of the clamping member 5121 is directly or indirectly rotatably connected to the support plate 511, allowing the clamping member 5121 to rotate relative to the support plate 511. The clamping end D2 is the other end of the clamping member 5121 away from the connecting end D1, and it is used to cooperate with the support plate 511 to clamp the workpiece 7 to be processed. Because the clamping member 5121 is curved, it can switch between a clamping state and an open state by rotation. When the clamping member 5121 rotates to the clamping state (e.g. Figure 22As shown), the clamping end D2 of the clamping member 5121 is located on the side of the bearing plate 511 opposite to the first surface M1, that is, the clamping end D2 faces the second surface M2, and the workpiece 7 to be processed can be clamped between the clamping end D2 and the second surface M2. When the clamping member 5121 is rotated to the released state (as shown), Figure 23 As shown, when the clamping end D2 of the clamping member 5121 no longer faces the second surface M2 of the support plate 511, the workpiece 7 cannot be clamped. From another perspective, a plane parallel to the second surface M2 is defined as a preset plane, and the projections of the second surface M2 and the clamping end D2 onto this preset plane do not overlap. In this embodiment, the clamping member 5121 can rotate relative to the support plate 511, thereby switching between a clamping state and an open state. By setting the clamping member 5121 to a curved shape, it is possible to ensure that the clamping member 5121 in the open state does not obstruct the workpiece 7 from adhering to the second surface M2, while the clamping member 5121 in the clamping state can cooperate with the second surface M2 to clamp the workpiece 7.

[0097] Please refer to Figure 23 and Figure 24 The clamping assembly 512 further includes a driving member 5122 and a transmission member 5123. The driving member 5122 is connected to the transmission member 5123, and the transmission member 5123 is connected to the clamping member 5121. The driving member 5122 can drive the clamping member 5121 to rotate via the transmission member 5123, so that the clamping member 5121 can switch between an open state and a clamping state. Both the driving member 5122 and the transmission member 5123 are disposed on the first surface M1 of the support plate 511. The driving member 5122 may be, but is not limited to, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor, etc. The transmission member 5123 may be, but is not limited to, a gear, a rack, etc. In one embodiment, the driving member 5122 can drive the transmission member 5123 to rotate, and the rotating transmission member 5123 can then drive the clamping member 5121 to rotate. In another embodiment, the drive member 5122 can drive the transmission member 5123 to move linearly, and the linearly moving transmission member 5123 can then drive the clamping member 5121 to rotate.

[0098] Optionally, the transmission member 5123 has a first toothed structure. The clamping member 5121 has a second toothed structure. The first toothed structure and the second toothed structure are connected in a mating manner. In one embodiment, the transmission member 5123 is a rotatable gear, the gear having a first toothed structure, and meshing with the second toothed structure of the clamping member 5121 through the first toothed structure. In another embodiment, the transmission member 5123 is a linearly movable rack, the rack having the first toothed structure, and meshing with the second toothed structure of the clamping member 5121 through the first toothed structure. This application only uses a rack as an example to illustrate the transmission member 5123.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 24 The clamping assembly 512 further includes a first mounting base 514 and a second mounting base 515 spaced apart, the first mounting base 514 and the second mounting base 515 being fixed to the first surface M1 of the support plate 511. The clamping member 5121 is disposed between the first mounting base 514 and the second mounting base 515 and is rotatably connected to the first mounting base 514 and the second mounting base 515. The clamping assembly 512 may also include a rotating shaft 5124, the rotating shaft 5124 passing through the first mounting base 514, the clamping member 5121 and the second mounting base 515 simultaneously, so as to enable the clamping member 5121 to rotate relative to the first mounting base 514 and the second mounting base 515.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 24 Optionally, the first mounting base 514 and the second mounting base 515 extend out of the support plate 511, and the clamping member 5121 is rotatably connected to the extended portions of the first mounting base 514 and the second mounting base 515. From another perspective, when the clamping member 5121 is in the released state, the orthographic projection of the clamping member 5121 onto the plane containing the first surface M1 falls outside the area of ​​the first surface M1, and the orthographic projection of the clamping member 5121 onto the plane containing the second surface M2 falls outside the area of ​​the second surface M2. In short, the orthographic projection of the clamping member 5121 in the released state onto the support plate 511 falls outside the area of ​​the support plate 511. This configuration allows for a larger rotation range of the clamping member 5121, ensuring that the clamping member 5121 in the released state does not obstruct the workpiece 7 from adhering to the second surface M2, and also allows the clamping member 5121 in the clamping state to clamp the workpiece 7 more tightly. To explain from the opposite perspective, if the orthogonal projection of the released clamping member 5121 onto the support plate 511 falls within the area of ​​the support plate 511, the rotation range of the clamping member 5121 will decrease because the clamping member 5121 will be interfered with by the edge of the support plate 511 during rotation. A small rotation range may cause the released clamping member 5121 to obstruct the workpiece 7 from adhering to the second surface M2, and may also cause the clamping member 5121 to fail to clamp the workpiece 7.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 25 and Figure 26The transfer table 510 further includes a detection assembly 513, which includes a second detector 5131 and a rotating member 5132. The second detector 5131 and the rotating member 5132 are supported on the first surface M1 of the support plate 511, and the rotating member 5132 is rotatably connected to the support plate 511. The support plate 511 has a through hole Y3. The rotating member 5132 passes through the through hole Y3 and protrudes from the second surface M2. When the rotating member 5132 contacts the workpiece 7, it will rotate following the movement of the workpiece 7. The second detector 5131 is used to detect whether the rotating member 5132 is rotating. Figure 26 In the diagram, the position indicated by the label O1 is the rotation center of the rotating component 5132 relative to the bearing plate 511.

[0102] Specifically, the second detector 5131 and the rotating member 5132 are directly or indirectly mounted on the first surface M1, and the rotating member 5132 can rotate relative to the support plate 511. The support plate 511 is provided with a through hole Y3 that passes through the first surface M1 and the second surface M2. The rotating member 5132 passes through the through hole Y3, and the rotating member 5132 protrudes from the second surface M2 in the direction from the first surface M1 to the second surface M2. This arrangement can protect the rotating member 5132 to a certain extent from being damaged by external objects through the through hole Y3, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the second detector 5131. Since the second surface M2 and the clamping member 5121 need to cooperate to clamp the workpiece 7 to be processed, the rotating member 5132 will rotate with the movement of the workpiece 7 during the process of the workpiece 7 being attached to the second surface M2 (i.e., the transfer table 510 clamping the workpiece 7) and the process of the workpiece 7 being removed from the transfer table 510. It should be noted that during the process of the workpiece 7 being attached to the second surface M2 and the process of the workpiece 7 being removed from the transfer table 510, the movement of the workpiece 7 is perpendicular to the second surface M2. In this application, the workpiece 7 is described by moving upward in a straight line (the second surface M2 is facing the first surface M1) to be attached to the second surface M2 and moving downward in a straight line (the first surface M1 is facing the second surface M2) to be removed from the transfer table 510.

[0103] During the process of the workpiece 7 being attached to the second surface M2, the workpiece 7 moves linearly upward and abuts against the portion of the rotating member 5132 protruding from the second surface M2, causing the height of the rotating member 5132 protruding from the second surface M2 to gradually decrease. Therefore, the rotating member 5132 will rotate along with the linear movement of the workpiece 7. During the process of the workpiece 7 being removed from the transfer table 510, the workpiece 7 moves linearly downward. As the workpiece 7 moves downward, the height of the rotating member 5132 protruding from the second surface M2 will gradually increase. Therefore, the rotating member 5132 will rotate along with the linear movement of the workpiece 7.

[0104] It is understandable that since the second detector 5131 can detect whether the rotating part 5132 is rotating, the second detector 5131 can determine whether the transfer table 510 is holding the workpiece 7. In other words, if the transfer table 510 fails to hold the workpiece 7 or fails to release the workpiece 7, the operator can know this and take further correct actions. This configuration can improve operating efficiency and avoid damage to the workpiece 7 due to the movement of the transfer table 510 in the event that the workpiece 7 is not successfully held or released.

[0105] The principle by which the second detector 5131 detects the rotation of the rotating component 5132 can be, but is not limited to, magnetic fields, capacitance, etc. Taking a magnetic field as an example, a magnetic component 313 can be set on the rotating component 5132. When the rotating component 5132 rotates, the second detector 5131 can detect the change in the magnetism of the rotating component 5132.

[0106] Please refer to Figure 27 The rotating member 5132 includes an abutment portion 5132a, a mounting portion 5132b, and a detection portion 5132c connected in sequence. The mounting portion 5132b is rotatably connected to the support plate 511. The abutment portion 5132a abuts against the workpiece 7 to be processed, and slides or rolls on the surface of the workpiece 7 during the rotation of the rotating member 5132. The detection portion 5132c moves relative to the second detector 5131 so that the second detector 5131 can detect whether the rotating member 5132 is rotating through the detection portion 5132c.

[0107] Optionally, the contact surface M3 of the abutment portion 5132a that abuts against the workpiece 7 is an arc surface or a spherical surface. Since the abutment portion 5132a slides or rolls on the surface of the workpiece 7 during the rotation of the rotating member 5132, friction exists between them. It is understood that setting the contact surface M3 of the abutment portion 5132a that abuts against the workpiece 7 as an arc surface or a spherical surface can reduce relative sliding friction, thereby ensuring that the surface of the workpiece 7 is not scratched.

[0108] Optional, please refer to Figure 27 The abutting part 5132a is fixedly connected to the mounting part 5132b. During the rotation of the rotating part 5132, the abutting part 5132a will slide on the surface of the workpiece 7. Optionally, please refer to... Figure 28 The abutting part 5132a is rotatably connected to the mounting part 5132b, meaning the abutting part 5132a can rotate relative to the mounting part 5132b. Therefore, during the rotation of the rotating part 5132, the abutting part 5132a will roll on the surface of the workpiece 7. Figure 27 and Figure 28In the diagram, the position indicated by the label O1 is the rotation center of the rotating part 5132 relative to the bearing plate 511, and the position indicated by the label O2 is the rotation center of the abutment part 5132a relative to the mounting part 5132b.

[0109] Optionally, when the workpiece 7 is attached to the second surface M2, the detection part 5132c faces the second detector 5131. When the workpiece 7 is not attached to the second surface M2, the detection part 5132c is away from the second detector 5131. The second detector 5131 is used to detect whether the detection part 5132c faces the second detector 5131. That is, when the detection part 5132c faces the second detector 5131, the second detector 5131 can detect it; when the detection part 5132c is away from the second detector 5131, the second detector 5131 cannot detect it. Therefore, the second detector 5131 can also be a proximity switch, which only responds when the object being measured (detection part 5132c) approaches the proximity switch.

[0110] Please refer to Figure 29 and Figure 30 The transfer device 500 further includes a drive assembly 520 and a transmission assembly 530. The drive assembly 520 drives the transfer platform 510 to reciprocate between the first position S1 and the second position S2 via the transmission assembly 530.

[0111] The drive assembly 520 is mounted and fixedly installed in the second chassis 400. The transmission assembly 530 includes a transmission rod 531 and a transmission block 532. The transmission rod 531 is a straight rod whose length extension direction is parallel to the movement direction of the transfer table 510. The transmission block 532 is mounted on the first surface M1 of the support plate 511. The transmission rod 531 passes through the transmission block 532. When the transmission rod 531 rotates, the transmission block 532 drives the transfer table 510 to move along the extension direction of the transmission rod 531. The transmission rod 531 and the transmission block 532 can be connected, but are not limited to, by a threaded connection. A threaded connection means that the transmission rod 531 has an external thread, and the transmission block 532 has an internal thread that can mate with the external thread on the transmission rod 531. One end of the transmission rod 531 is connected to the drive assembly 520, which drives the transmission rod 531 to rotate. When the transmission rod 531 rotates, the transmission block 532 drives the transfer table 510 to move linearly. The transmission rod 531 can rotate forward and reverse. When the transmission rod 531 rotates forward, the transfer table 510 moves from the first position S1 to the second position S2. When the transmission rod 531 rotates in reverse, the transfer table 510 moves from the second position S2 to the first position S1.

[0112] Please refer to Figure 29 and Figure 31The transfer device 500 further includes a guide assembly 550, which includes a guide member 551 and a guide block 552. The guide block 552 is mounted on the first surface M1 of the support plate 511. The guide block 552 has a receiving space Y6. The guide member 551 is slidably connected to the guide block 552 and is at least partially housed within the receiving space Y6, and the guide member 551 is fixed to the power device. The extending direction of the guide member 551 is parallel to the relative directions of the first position S1 and the second position S2.

[0113] In other words, the guide member 551 is a straight rod whose length extension direction is parallel to the movement direction of the transfer table 510. Since the guide block 552 is fixed on the support plate 511, and at least part of the guide member 551 is housed within the receiving space Y6 of the guide block 552, the guide block 552 will move along the extension direction of the guide member 551. Therefore, the combination of the guide member 551 and the guide block 552 can guide the movement of the transfer table 510 to prevent the movement path of the transfer table 510 from deviating.

[0114] The accommodating space Y6 can be a groove or a through hole. When the accommodating space Y6 is a groove, the groove can be located on the side of the guide block 552 away from the bearing plate 511 (e.g., Figure 31 As shown, it can also be located on the side of the guide block 552 near the support plate 511. When the accommodating space Y6 is a through hole, the through hole penetrates both opposite sides of the guide block 552, and the penetration direction is the same as the movement direction of the transfer table 510.

[0115] Please refer to Figure 32 and Figure 33 The transfer device 500 further includes a third detector 540, which is mounted on the drive assembly 520 or the transfer platform 510. The third detector 540 is used to acquire the position information of the transfer platform 510 relative to the drive assembly 520. That is, the third detector 540 detects the distance of the transfer platform 510 relative to the drive assembly 520 to determine whether the transfer platform 510 has reached the first position S1 or the second position S2. When the transfer platform 510 moves from the first position S1 to the second position S2, or when the transfer platform 510 moves from the second position S2 to the first position S1, the controller can control the drive assembly 520 to stop driving the transfer platform 510 to stop moving, so that the transfer platform 510 stops at the first position S1 or the second position S2 in time, to avoid the transfer platform 510 being damaged due to excessive movement.

[0116] The third detector 540 can be installed on the drive assembly 520 or the transfer station 510, or it can be installed on both the drive assembly 520 and the transfer station 510.

[0117] In one embodiment, the third detector 540 can be a pull-wire encoder including a pull wire 541 and a functional body 542 (e.g., Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, the functional body 542 is mounted on the drive assembly 520. One end of the pull cable 541 is connected to the functional body 542, and the other end of the pull cable 541 is connected to the transfer table 510. During the reciprocating motion of the transfer table 510 between the first position S1 and the second position S2, the pull cable 541 will extend or shorten accordingly, so that the functional body 542 can obtain the real-time position of the transfer table 510.

[0118] In another embodiment, the third detector 540 may also be an ultrasonic sensor, which may be mounted on the drive assembly 520. The ultrasonic sensor may send ultrasonic waves to the transfer platform 510 and receive ultrasonic waves reflected back from the transfer platform 510, thereby obtaining the real-time position of the transfer platform 510 when it reciprocates between the first position S1 and the second position S2.

[0119] Of course, in other embodiments, the third detector 540 can also be an infrared sensor, a Hall sensor, or other sensor that can measure distance, which will not be described in detail here.

[0120] It should be noted that the detection functions of the first detector 330, the second detector 5131 and the third detector 540 mentioned in the previous embodiments are existing functions. In this application, the existing functions of the detectors are combined with the corresponding structures to obtain the required information. That is to say, the existing functions of the detectors are applied to the structural scheme of this application without any improvement to the detectors themselves.

[0121] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this application. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this application, and such improvements and refinements are also considered to be within the protection scope of this application.
