Detailed implementation mode

[0046] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0047] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0048] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0049] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms such as "mounted", "connected", "coupled", "fixed", etc. shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the internal communication of two components or the interaction relationship between two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0050] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the first feature being "on" or "under" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over" and "on top of" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a higher horizontal height than the second feature. The first feature being "under", "beneath" and "underneath" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a lower horizontal height than the second feature.

[0051] In the related art, a linear handling device is used to grasp and transfer a product to be detected. The handling device includes a plurality of detection stations arranged in a linear direction and a handling module capable of moving in a linear direction to achieve the sequential transfer of the product to be detected along a linear direction among the plurality of detection stations, and finally transfer the product after multiple detections to the discharge station to enter the next process.

[0052] However, this way of handling the product to be detected in a linear direction has a large size in its length direction in the application scenarios of multiple products and multiple detection stations, making it difficult to meet the floor space requirements of the production workshop and being unfavorable for the placement of other equipment. In addition, the existing handling device has low efficiency in handling products and is not suitable for handling multiple products.

[0053] To solve the above technical problems, in a first aspect, an embodiment of this application provides a handling device, which is mainly applied to an automated processing device and is used to handle a product to be detected to facilitate the detection of the product to be detected, such as flatness detection, thickness detection, surface defect detection, etc.

[0054] Combined withFigures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the handling device 100 includes: a carrying platform 110 provided with a feeding station 111, a discharging station 112, and a first detection station 113, a first action mechanism 140 including a first driving module 141 and a first handling module 142, a detection platform 120 provided with a second detection station 121 and a third detection station 122, a second action mechanism 150 including a second driving module 151 and a second handling module 152, a material receiving platform 130 rotatably arranged between the carrying platform 110 and the detection platform 120, and a third action mechanism 160 connected to the material receiving platform 130 and used to drive the material receiving platform 130 to rotate around its rotation axis.

[0055] Among them, the feeding platform is used to place the product 200 to be detected. The first driving module 141 is arranged in the carrying platform 110 and connected to the first handling module 142, and is used to drive the first handling module 142 to move along its rotation axis direction and to drive the first handling module 142 to rotate around its rotation axis. The second driving module 151 is arranged on the carrying platform 110 and connected to the second handling module 152, and is used to drive the second handling module 152 to move along its rotation axis direction and to drive the second handling module 152 to rotate reciprocally around its rotation axis.

[0056] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, when using the handling device 100 to handle the product 200 to be detected, the product 200 to be detected is realized to pass through the first detection station 113, the material receiving platform 130, and the second detection station 121 in sequence from the feeding station 111, and to pass through the material receiving platform 130 and the discharging station 112 in sequence from the second detection station 121, that is, the action process sequence of the product 200 to be detected is: ①→②→③→④→⑤→④→③→⑦.

[0057] Of course, it can also be realized that the product 200 to be detected passes through the first detection station 113, the material receiving platform 130, and the third detection station 122 in sequence from the feeding station 111, and passes through the material receiving platform 130 and the discharging station 112 in sequence from the third detection station 122, that is, the action process sequence of the product 200 to be detected is: ①→②→③→④→⑥→④→③→⑦.

[0058] It can be understood that the handling device 100 provided in this embodiment, through the arrangement of the material receiving platform 130, the carrying platform 110, and the detection platform 120, adopts a rotational handling method to realize the handling of the product 200 to be detected among the carrying platform 110, the material receiving platform 130, and the detection platform 120, thereby shortening the length dimension of the handling device 100, improving the structural compactness of the handling device 100, and thus being easy to meet the requirements of the floor area in the workshop.

[0059] In this embodiment, through the settings of the first detection station 113, the second detection station 121, and the third detection station 122, it is convenient to complete the detection operation of the product 200 to be detected. The detection method can be manual detection or automatic identification and detection by the detection device in the automated processing equipment. By setting the first driving module 141, a combined movement of the first handling module 142 moving along its rotation axis direction and rotating around its rotation axis can be achieved. In this way, by driving the first handling module 142 with the first driving module 141, the handling of the product 200 to be detected can be realized.

[0060] Exemplarily, the first driving module 141 drives the first handling module 142 to move a preset distance in the direction close to the carrying platform 110, so that the first handling module 142 picks up the product 200 to be detected placed at the feeding station 111. At this time, the first driving module 141 drives the first handling module 142 to move in the direction away from the carrying platform 110, lifting the product 200 to a certain height. Then, the first driving module 141 drives the first handling module 142 to rotate a preset angle around its rotation axis, so that the product 200 to be detected moves from the position of the feeding station 111 to the position of the first detection station 113. At this time, the first driving module 141 drives the first handling module 142 to move a preset distance in the direction close to the carrying platform 110, realizing placing the product 200 to be detected on the first detection station 113 for the detection operation thereon.

[0061] It should be noted that during the process of transporting the product 200 to be detected from the feeding station 111 to the first detection station 113, the product 200 that has been detected at the first detection station 113 is synchronously transported to the receiving platform 130 by the first handling module 142. At this time, the third action mechanism 160 drives the receiving platform 130 to rotate a preset angle around its rotation axis, moving the product 200 to a position close to the detection platform 120.

[0062] Therefore, the handling device 100 provided in this embodiment is not only easy to meet the requirements of the workshop floor area size, but also applicable to the linked handling of multiple products 200 to be detected, with relatively high handling efficiency.

[0063] Similarly, by setting the second driving module 151, a combined movement of the second handling module 152 moving along its rotation axis direction and reciprocally rotating around its rotation axis can be achieved. In this way, by driving the second handling module 152 with the second driving module 151, the product 200 to be detected can be transported between the receiving platform 130 and the second detection station 121, or the product 200 to be detected can be transported between the receiving platform 130 and the third detection station 122.

[0064] Combined Figure 3 、Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the first transport module 142 includes a rotating body 1421 and an adsorption assembly 1423. The rotating body 1421 is provided with at least three extending arms 1422 along its circumference, for example, three, four, five, six, etc., and each extending arm 1422 is provided with an adsorption assembly 1423 at one end away from the rotating body 1421. The rotating body 1421 is connected to the first driving module 141.

[0065] It can be understood that by setting the first driving module 141, the extension arm 1422 and the adsorption assembly 1423, multiple products 200 to be inspected can be transported in a linked manner at the feeding station 111, the first inspection station 113, the supporting platform 110 and the discharging station 112, thereby improving the transport efficiency of the transport device 100.

[0066] In another embodiment, the first transport module 142 may also be a clamping module, which includes a rotating body 1421 and a clamping assembly for clamping the product 200 to be tested, and the rotating body 1421 is provided with at least three extension arms 1422 along its circumference, and each extension arm 1422 is provided with a clamping assembly at one end away from the rotating body 1421. This structure of providing a clamping module can also realize linkage transport.

[0067] Of course, the second transport module 152 may also adopt a structure similar to the above embodiment. The difference from the above structure is that there are at least two extending arms 1422, such as two, three, four, etc., and each extending arm 1422 is provided with an adsorption component 1423, and the rotating body 1421 is connected to the second driving module 151.

[0068] It can be understood that by driving the rotating body 1421 to move in a compound manner through the second driving module 151, multiple products 200 to be inspected can be transported in a coordinated manner on the material receiving platform 130, the second inspection station 121, and the third inspection station 122, thereby improving the transport efficiency of the transport device 100 and the production efficiency of the product.

[0069] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, further, the adsorption assembly 1423 includes a vacuum main component 14231 and a plurality of suction cups 14233. The vacuum main component 14231 is arranged on the extension arm 1422 and is provided with a connector 14232 for connecting to a vacuum device. The plurality of suction cups 14233 are arranged on a side of the vacuum main component 14231 away from the extension arm 1422, and each suction cup 14233 is connected to the interior of the vacuum main component 14231.

[0070] When the vacuum device is in operation, the vacuum device evacuates the interior of the vacuum main component 14231 through the joint 14232, creating a negative pressure inside the vacuum main component 14231. In this way, each suction cup 14233 connected to the vacuum main component 14231 has the ability of vacuum adsorption, facilitating the picking up of the product 200 to be detected.

[0071] As Figure 9 shown, furthermore, the adsorption assembly 1423 further includes an elastic member 14234, a guide post 14235, and a linear bearing 14236. The elastic member 14234 is connected between the extension arm 1422 and the vacuum main component 14231. A through hole 14221 is provided on the extension arm 1422, and the linear bearing 14236 is fixed in the through hole 14221. One end of the guide post 14235 is fixed to the vacuum main component 14231, and the other end passes through the inner hole of the linear bearing 14236.

[0072] In this embodiment, the elastic member 14234 can be an element with elastic potential energy such as a cylindrical spring or a spring plate. During the process of the suction cup 14233 adsorbing the product 200 to be detected, the combined use of the elastic member 14234, the guide post 14235, and the linear bearing 14236 has a buffering effect, effectively improving the hard collision between the adsorption assembly 1423 and the product 200 to be detected, increasing the service life of the adsorption assembly 1423, and also playing a protective role for the product 200 to be detected.

[0073] Combined with Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown, in any of the above embodiments of the present application, the first driving module 141 includes a first driving component 1411, a ball nut 1412, a spline nut 1413, a spline shaft 1414, and a second driving component 1415.

[0074] Specifically, both the spline nut 1413 and the ball nut 1412 are fixed on the bearing platform 110. The spline shaft 1414 passes through the ball nut 1412, the spline nut 1413, and the bearing platform 110 and is fixedly connected to the first handling module 142. The first driving component 1411 is connected to the ball nut 1412 to drive the spline shaft 1414 to move along its axis through the ball nut 1412, and the second driving component 1415 is connected to the spline nut 1413 to drive the spline shaft 1414 to rotate around its axis through the spline nut 1413.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first driving component 1411 can be directly fixed to the outer periphery of the ball nut 1412 through a supporting structure, or can be fixed to the bearing platform 110. The second driving component 1415 can also be directly fixed to the outer periphery of the spline nut 1413 or fixed to the bearing platform 110. The first driving component 1411 can drive the ball nut 1412 to drive the spline shaft 1414 to move along its axis, so that the first handling module 142 approaches or moves away from the bearing platform 110, realizing that the first handling module 142 picks up the product 200 to be detected. The second driving component 1415 can drive the spline nut 1413 to drive the spline shaft 1414 to rotate around its axis, so that the first handling module 142 rotates, realizing the movement of the product 200 to be detected between different workstations.

[0076] It can be understood that through the settings of the first driving component 1411, the ball nut 1412, the spline nut 1413, the spline shaft 1414 and the second driving component 1415, the combination of linear motion and rotational motion is realized, which facilitates the second handling module 152 to handle the product 200 to be detected and improves the production efficiency of the product.

[0077] In another embodiment, the first driving module 141 includes a first driving component 1411, a rotating shaft, a bracket, and a second driving component 1415. One end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bracket, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first handling module 142. The second driving component 1415 is arranged on the bracket and connected to the rotating shaft for driving the rotating shaft to rotate around its axis. The first driving component 1411 is connected to the end of the bracket away from the rotating shaft for driving the bracket to move linearly. The first driving module 141 provided in this embodiment can also realize the composite motion of the first handling module 142.

[0078] In the above embodiment where the first driving module 141 includes a ball nut 1412 and a spline nut 1413, further, the first driving component 1411 includes a driving member 14111, a driving wheel 14112, a driven wheel 14113, and a transmission belt 14114. The output end of the driving member 14111 is fixedly connected to the driving wheel 14112 for driving the driving wheel 14112 to rotate. The driven wheel 14113 is sleeved on the spline shaft 1414 and connected to the ball nut 1412. The transmission belt 14114 is wound between the driving wheel 14112 and the driven wheel 14113.

[0079] Exemplarily, the driving member 14111 can be a rotating motor or a driving motor, and the driving member 14111 can be fixed to the bearing platform 110 or the ball nut 1412.

[0080] In addition, the driving wheel 14112, the driven wheel 14113 and the transmission belt 14114 can be selected in a one-to-one correspondence by a driving pulley, a driven pulley and a belt, or a driving sprocket, a driven sprocket and a chain.

[0081] It can be understood that the driving member 14111 is used to drive the driving wheel 14112 to rotate, so as to make the ball nut 1412 work through the transmission belt 14114 and the driven wheel 14113, thereby driving the spline shaft 1414 to move along its axial direction, so that the first transport module 142 can pick up the product 200 to be inspected.

[0082] In another embodiment, the first drive component 1411 can also be a combination of a rotating motor, a gear reducer and a transmission gear. The rotating motor is fixed to the supporting platform 110, and its output end is connected to the input end of the gear reducer. The output end of the gear reducer is connected to the transmission gear. The transmission gear is sleeved on the spline shaft 1414 and connected to the ball nut 1412. This combination can also realize that the first drive component 1411 drives the spline shaft 1414 to move along its axial direction through the ball nut 1412.

[0083] Of course, the second driving assembly 1415 can also adopt a structure similar to that of the above embodiment, and the difference from the above embodiment is that the driven wheel 14113 is sleeved on the spline shaft 1414 and connected to the spline nut 1413, and the transmission belt 14114 is wound between the driving wheel 14112 and the driven wheel 14113. In this way, the driving member 14111 can drive the spline shaft 1414 to rotate around its axis through the driving wheel 14112, the transmission belt 14114, the driven wheel 14113 and the spline nut 1413, so that the first transport module 142 can move the product 200 to be inspected between different stations.

[0084] It should be noted that the above only exemplifies some specific embodiments of the first driving module 141 and the first transport device 100 . The second driving module 151 and the second transport device 100 may also adopt the structures of the above embodiments, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0085] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, further, the first driving component 1411 also includes a strip plate 14115 and a plurality of first photoelectric sensors 14116. The strip plate 14115 is arranged on the side of the ball nut 1412 away from the spline nut 1413. The plurality of first photoelectric sensors 14116 are fixed on the strip plate 14115 at intervals along the axial direction of the spline shaft 1414, and are used to detect the position of the spline shaft 1414, so that the control module of the conveying device 100 can control the distance moved by the spline shaft 1414 along its axial direction, thereby improving the linear motion accuracy of the first conveying module 142.

[0086] Of course, in order to improve the rotational motion accuracy of the first handling module 142, in combination with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second driving assembly 1415 further includes a second photoelectric sensor 14151 and an annular baffle 14152. The second photoelectric sensor 14151 is located on the side of the spline nut 1413 away from the ball nut 1412. The annular baffle 14152 is fixed to the driven wheel 14113, and a shielding portion is provided at the edge of the annular baffle 14152. The second photoelectric sensor 14151 has a notch 141511 that cooperates with the shielding portion.

[0087] In this way, through the arrangement of the second photoelectric sensor 14151 and the annular baffle 14152, the number of rotations of the spline shaft 1414 can be obtained, and then the rotation angle of the spline shaft 1414 can be calculated, so as to facilitate the control module of the handling device 100 to control the rotation angle of the spline shaft 1414 around its axis, thereby improving the rotational motion accuracy of the first handling device 100.

[0088] In combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a third photoelectric sensor 114 is provided on the side of the carrying platform 110 away from the product 200 to be detected. The feeding station 111 is provided with a detection port 115 penetrating therethrough. The third photoelectric sensor 114 is arranged at the detection port 115 for detecting whether the product 200 to be detected is placed on the feeding station 111, so that the control module of the handling device 100 can control the first action mechanism 140 to work or stop according to whether the product 200 to be detected is placed, thereby improving the automation degree of the handling device 100.

[0089] Continuing to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in one embodiment, the discharging station 112 is of a transparent structure. A barcode scanner 170 is provided on the side of the carrying platform 110 away from the first handling module 142. The barcode scanner 170 corresponds to the position of the discharging station 112 and is used to scan the product after the detection is completed, so as to facilitate obtaining product information or counting the products.

[0090] As Figure 11 shown, in one embodiment, the third action mechanism 160 includes a rotary cylinder 161 and a carrying seat 162. The rotary cylinder 161 is arranged on the carrying seat 162, and its output end is connected to the receiving platform 130, and can drive the receiving platform 130 to rotate around its rotation axis, so as to realize the movement of the product 200 to be detected between the carrying platform 110 and the detection platform 120.

[0091] Of course, for the above embodiments, the third actuating mechanism 160 may also be a combination of a rotary motor, a gear reducer, and a transmission gear. The output end of the rotary motor is connected to the input end of the gear reducer, and the output end of the latter is connected to the transmission gear fixed to the material receiving platform 130. Similarly, the material receiving platform 130 can be rotated around its rotation axis.

[0092] Continue to refer to Figure 11 , in one embodiment, the material receiving platform 130 is a disc structure, and the disc structure includes a first arc plate 131, a second arc plate 132, a bearing plate 133, and a connecting plate 134. Among them, the first arc plate 131 and the second arc plate 132 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the bearing plate 133, and the connecting plate 134 fixedly connects the first arc plate 131, the second arc plate 132, and the bearing plate 133. Two placement areas 1331 for placing the product 200 to be detected are arranged on the bearing plate 133.

[0093] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 134 fixedly connects the first arc plate 131, the second arc plate 132, and the bearing plate 133 to form a disc structure between the bearing platform 110 and the detection platform 120, reducing the external dimension of the material receiving platform 130, thereby improving the structural compactness of the handling device 100.

[0094] As Figure 2 and Figure 10 shown, further, an arc notch 116 adapted to the external shape of the disc structure is formed at the edge of the bearing platform 110.

[0095] In this way, the arc notch 116 is adapted to the external shape of the disc structure, facilitating the assembly of the disc structure and the bearing platform 110, and enabling the disc structure to rotate around its rotation axis along the inner wall of the arc notch 116, further improving the structural compactness of the handling device 100.

[0096] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides an automated processing device, including a detection device and the handling device 100 in any of the above embodiments.

[0097] In this embodiment, the detection device may be a flatness detection mechanism, a surface defect detection mechanism, a thickness detection mechanism, etc., and can be specifically selected according to the type of the product 200 to be detected.
