[0022] The following will make a detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] As Figure 1 、 2 、3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 show a specific embodiment of the transfer and turnover machine of the material tray of the present invention. This embodiment includes an input table 1, an output table 2, a manipulator 3, a turnover mechanism 0, a line scanning mechanism 4, and a placement rack 51. The manipulator 3 is located at the middle position of the structure, and distributes the input table 1, the output table 2, the turnover mechanism 0, the line scanning mechanism 4, and the placement rack 51 around the manipulator 3. The input table 1 is used to place the trimming trays with chips conveyed from the previous process. The manipulator 3 is used to clamp the trimming tray at the input table 1 and send it to the line scanning mechanism 4 for line scanning of the chips. The trimming trays with qualified line scanning are sent to the turnover mechanism 0 by the manipulator 3, and the trimming trays with unqualified line scanning are sent to the placement rack 51 by the manipulator 3; the turnover mechanism 0 includes a flipping mechanism 04 and a receiving mechanism 03 arranged up and down. The flipping mechanism 04 is used to receive the trimming tray and rotate it to turn the chip downward. A carrier tray is placed at the receiving mechanism 03 by the manipulator 3, and the carrier tray is lifted to abut against the trimming tray to generate vibration, so that the chips fall onto the carrier tray for transfer; the manipulator 3 clamps and sends the carrier tray with chips at the receiving mechanism 03 to the output table 2; the output table 2 is provided with multiple placement positions for input and output placement of the carrier trays, and the placement rack 51 is provided with multiple placement positions for temporarily storing the trimming trays with unqualified line scanning and temporarily storing the trimming trays at the input table 1.
[0024] When the present invention is in use, refer to Figure 1, a manipulator 3 for clamping the fine-tuning tray and the loading tray is arranged in the middle of the device. Around the manipulator 3, the turning mechanism 0, the input table 1, the line scanning mechanism 4, the placing rack 51 and the output table 2 of the present invention are arranged. The fine-tuning tray carrying the chips is placed on the input table 1 from the previous process. The manipulator 3 clamps the fine-tuning tray to the line scanning mechanism 4 to perform line scanning to determine whether all the spot welding positions on the chips are completed. At the same time, the manipulator 3 clamps an empty loading tray from the output table 2 to the material receiving mechanism 03. After the line scanning mechanism 4 detects that the chips are correct, the manipulator 3 transfers the fine-tuning tray to the turning mechanism 04, and the turning mechanism 04 turns the fine-tuning tray so that the chips face down. The material receiving mechanism 03 drives the loading tray to rise and vibrates the turning mechanism 04, so that the chips fall onto the loading tray to complete the transfer. The chips can be sent to the subsequent process for reverse processing after being turned over. After that, the manipulator 3 successively clamps the loading tray at the material receiving mechanism 03 to the output table 2 and clamps the fine-tuning tray at the turning mechanism 04 to the output table 2. During the whole process, it is possible that the line scanning mechanism 4 detects that not all the spot welding positions on the chips are completed, which may be due to missed welding during the previous processing. The manipulator 3 can send the fine-tuning tray carrying the chips to the placing rack 51 for manual repair welding. After the repair welding is completed, the manipulator 3 grabs it and re-enters the overall process. On the other hand, when the line scanning mechanism 4 has not completed the line scanning detection of the chips on the fine-tuning tray, the fine-tuning tray on the input table 1 can be sent to the placing rack 51 for temporary storage first, without affecting the delivery of the subsequent material tray at the corresponding station.
[0025] As a specific implementation of the improvement, the turnover mechanism 0 further includes a base 01 and a vertical frame 02. The material receiving mechanism 03 is arranged on the base 01, and the turnover mechanism 04 is arranged on the vertical frame 02. The turnover mechanism 04 includes a turnover frame 041, a lower clamp body 042, an upper clamp body 043, and a first driving cylinder 044. There are two groups of vertical frames 02 which are installed on the base 01. The upper part of the two groups of vertical frames 02 rotatably arranges the turnover frame 041. The turnover frame 041 is connected to a rotary cylinder 040 for rotation control. A material placing hole 045 is vertically penetrated through the middle of the turnover frame 041. A pair of upper clamp bodies 043 and a pair of lower clamp bodies 042 are arranged on the two opposite sides of the material placing hole 045. A pair of lower clamp bodies 042 are controlled by their respective first driving cylinders 044 at the lower two sides to open or close to change the working position, and form a supporting surface for placing the fine adjustment plate when closed. A pair of upper clamp bodies 043 are controlled by their respective first driving cylinders 044 at the upper two sides to open or close to change the working position, and cooperate with the lower clamp bodies 042 to clamp the fine adjustment plate when closed. When the turnover frame 041 rotates 180 degrees, the upper clamp body 043 and the lower clamp body 042 exchange positions, and at the same time, the upper clamp body 043 and the lower clamp body 042 exchange functions. The material receiving mechanism 03 includes a second supporting part 031, a second clamping part 032, a lifting cylinder 033, and a second driving cylinder 034. A layout hole 035 is vertically penetrated through the position corresponding to the lower part of the turnover frame 041 on the base 01. The second supporting part 031 is arranged at the layout hole 035. The second supporting part 031 is controlled by the lifting cylinder 033 arranged at the lower part for lifting. A pair of second clamping parts 032 are arranged on the two sides of the second supporting part 031. A pair of second clamping parts 032 are controlled by their respective second driving cylinders 034 to open or close to change the working position, and cooperate with the second supporting part 031 to clamp the loading tray when closed. When the turnover frame 041 rotates 180 degrees, the chip on the fine adjustment plate is turned downward towards the lower loading tray. When the lower second supporting part 031 rises to the position where the second clamping part 032 abuts against the fine adjustment plate, an impact is generated on the fine adjustment plate, so that the chip falls onto the loading tray.
[0026] As Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the specific vertical frame 02 allows the flip mechanism 04 to form a certain height, which is convenient for the arrangement of the material receiving mechanism 03 below and the manipulator 3 to reach in and pick up and place the loading tray. The flip frame 041 is arranged on the vertical frame 02 through an axis structure for rotation. The axis structure is connected to the rotary cylinder 040 through a connecting shaft. The rotary cylinder 040 rotates the flip frame 041 180 degrees. The discharge hole 045 is set larger than the fine-tuning disk and leaves enough space for the gripper of the manipulator 3 to reach in and complete the pick-up and placement of the fine-tuning disk; a pair of upper clamps 043 and a pair of lower clamps 042 do not strictly limit their upper and lower relationships through their names. It can be understood that when the flip frame 041 is flipped, the lower clamp 042 is at the bottom, and the upper clamp 043 is at the top, that is, the functions are interchanged after the positions are interchanged. During specific implementation, the pair of lower clamps 042 below are adjusted to the closing position by the first driving cylinder 044, and the pair of upper clamps 043 are initially in the opening position, and the pair of lower clamps 042 form supporting surfaces on both sides for the fine-tuning disk to be placed; after the manipulator 3 places the fine-tuning disk on the pair of lower clamps 042, the first driving cylinder 044 adjusts the pair of upper clamps 043 to the closing position, and then the upper and lower clamps clamp the fine-tuning disk, and then the flip frame 041 completes a 180-degree rotation, so that the chip faces downward, and the chip on the fine-tuning disk and the fine-tuning disk are structurally locked and limited through the hole-axis mechanism, and the chip is not It will not fall by itself when subjected to external force; the second support part 031 at the material receiving mechanism 03 forms a support surface for the material carrier to be placed. After the manipulator 3 places the material carrier on the second support part 031, the second driving cylinder 034 adjusts the second clamping part 032 to the closing position, and then the second support part 031 and the second clamping part 032 clamp the material carrier, and then the lifting cylinder 033 lifts the material carrier. When it rises to the right position, the second clamping part 032 vibrates on both sides against the fine-tuning disk, and the chip is separated from the fine-tuning disk and falls to the material carrier by the external force, thereby completing the flipping transfer of the chip. The flipping mechanism 0 facilitates the automatic flipping of the chip after the spot welding detection is completed in the equipment, and then it is transported to the subsequent station for further processing on the reverse side, freeing up labor and improving processing efficiency. After the material receiving mechanism 03 completes the transfer of the chip, the flip frame 041 does not need to be rotated and reset. The upper and lower clamps that have exchanged positions are adjusted to the open position through a pair of upper clamps located above. The robot arm 3 can then take the fine-tuning disk away from above, and then the next fine-tuning disk can be operated, thereby simplifying the movement of the flip frame 041 and improving the operating efficiency of the mechanism.
[0027] As an improved specific implementation method, grooves 046 are provided on the surfaces of the upper clamp body 043 and the lower clamp body 042 that are in contact with the fine-tuning disk, and the edges of the grooves 046 are adapted to the edges of the fine-tuning disk for matching and limiting when placed or clamped; the upper clamp body 043 and the lower clamp body 042 both include clamping blocks 047 that are symmetrically arranged on the left and right, and a gap is formed between the left and right clamping blocks 047, and the corners of the fine-tuning disk are placed or clamped at the clamping blocks 047.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the setting of the groove 046 makes the limit of the fine-tuning disk more stable. The pair of upper clamps 043 and the pair of lower clamps 042 on both sides can complete the clamping from the top and bottom by relying on the corresponding fine-tuning disk that is stable with the groove 046. The fine-tuning disk will not be displaced during the rotation process, ensuring the accuracy of the upper and lower positions of the chip after flipping, and can accurately correspond to the loading disk below. The clamping blocks 047 arranged symmetrically on the left and right are used for placing or clamping the corners of the fine-tuning disk. Reducing the contact area with the fine-tuning disk does not affect the stability of placement or clamping. The small-area clamping blocks 047 are more conducive to ensuring the plane accuracy of manufacturing, making the placement and clamping smooth, and avoiding the unevenness problem that may be caused when the entire large plane contacts the fine-tuning disk.
[0029] As an improved specific implementation method, the upper clamp body 043, the lower clamp body 042 and the first driving cylinder 044 are arranged at the front and rear positions close to the rotation axis of the flip frame 041, so that the left and right positions of the flip frame 041 are open for an external mechanism to movably take and place the fine-tuning disk; the second clamping portion 032 is arranged on the left and right sides of the second support portion 031, so as to be staggered with the positions of the upper clamp body 043 and the lower clamp body 042.
[0030] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the upper clamp body 043, the lower clamp body 042, and the first drive cylinder 044 are basically located on the axis of the rotating shaft of the flip frame 041. The air pipe of the first drive cylinder 044 can be connected to the outside from the front and rear axes, so that the left and right sides can maintain a good open state, which is convenient for the displacement of the manipulator 3 on the side, without structural interference, and more convenient for the layout of each station. The second clamping part 032 is arranged on the left and right sides, staggered with the upper clamp body 043 and the lower clamp body 042, so that the second clamping part 032 can resist the upper fine-tuning disk without interference, realizing the function of chip drop transfer; the air path of the second drive cylinder 034 itself is also directly hidden from the bottom of the base 01 and connected to the outside, which does not affect the layout of the components and does not occupy space.
[0031] As an improved specific implementation method, the second supporting portion 031 is a platform, and the surface of the platform is provided with a plurality of protrusions 0311 for positioning the loading tray. The second clamping portion 032 is a clip. The platform is mounted on a mounting frame 030. The clip is hinged to the mounting frame 030 and is located on both sides of the platform. The second driving cylinder 034 is mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting frame 030 and hinged to the clip. The lifting cylinder 033 is installed at the lower part of the base 01 and connected to the mounting frame 030.
[0032] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 3, 5, the arrangement holes 035 provided on the base 01 facilitate the installation frame 030 and the components thereon to be accommodated in the space below the base 01, so that there is a more suitable space between the flip frame 041 and the platform for the manipulator 3 to reach in and take and place the loading tray. The platform is installed on the surface of the installation frame 30, and the second driving cylinder 034 is installed on the bottom surface of the installation frame 030. The space layout is reasonably utilized to reduce the interference of the upper space, which is convenient for the manipulator 3 to reach in. The platform itself forms a plane to place the loading tray, and then the loading tray is positioned by the boss 0311, making the overall structure simpler. The boss 0311 matches the corresponding positioning hole on the loading tray, thereby ensuring that the loading tray is placed accurately and stably. In terms of the overall structure, all components except the platform and the clip are arranged at the bottom of the installation frame 030, making better use of the space.
[0033] As an improved specific implementation method, a rubber piece 0321 is provided on the clip, and the rubber piece 0321 is used to contact the loading tray to limit the position and alleviate the impact.
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, by setting the rubber part 0321, on the one hand, the elastic force can better resist the loading plate to achieve position limitation; on the other hand, when the upper structure of the clip resists the fine-tuning plate to generate vibration or impact, the rubber part 0321 can alleviate the reaction force and reduce the impact of the impact on the loading plate limit, which is more conducive to the stability of positioning and the long-term use of the components.
[0035] As an improved specific implementation method, the placement rack 51 includes vertical racks 511 on both sides and a horizontal rack 512 arranged between the vertical racks 511 on both sides. A plurality of placement slots 52 for placing fine-tuning disks are horizontally arranged on the horizontal rack 512. A cavity 521 is provided at the bottom of the placement slot 52. A sensor 50 for detecting whether the placement slot 52 stores a fine-tuning disk is provided in the cavity 521. A wiring slot 522 is horizontally passed through the bottom of the plurality of placement slots 52. The wiring slot 522 is connected to the cavity 521. The circuit of the sensor 50 leads to both sides through the wiring slot 522.
[0036] like Figure 1 , 6As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the placement rack 51 forms a certain height by relying on the vertical racks 511 on both sides, so that the horizontal rack 512 provided in the middle is at a suitable height for the manipulator 3 to pick up and place the fine-tuning disks; a number of placement slots 52 are horizontally arranged on the horizontal rack 512 to facilitate providing a certain storage capacity. And corresponding to the placement slots 52, sensors 50 are provided in the cavities 521, which can detect whether there are fine-tuning disks at all the placement slots 52. Through the information feedback of the control module, the manipulator 3 can efficiently pick up and place the fine-tuning disks, which is more flexible and intelligent, and improves the operation efficiency of the picking and placing equipment. The sensors 50 are accommodated in the cavities 521, and their lines are accommodated and led to both sides through the further provided wire grooves 522, and are externally wired to the control module and the power supply module on the outside, arranging the lines orderly without affecting the normal access of the loading trays, which is convenient for management and maintenance.
[0037] As a specific improved embodiment, through holes 5111 are opened on the vertical racks 511. The through holes 5111 correspond to the wire grooves 522 for the lines to pass through. A wiring rack 5112 is also installed on the outside of the vertical racks 511, and the wiring rack 5112 allows the lines to run downward along the wiring rack 5112.
[0038] As Figure 7 shown, the setting of the through holes 5111 allows the lines to pass through, avoiding the exposed bending caused by the lines passing through from above, which can provide better protection for the lines, and the bent parts of the lines will not be knocked and damaged by external components due to long-term use; after passing through the through holes 5111, the lines are directly accommodated in the wiring rack 5112 and run downward, and then are connected outward along the equipment plane from the lower part, which provides better storage protection for the lines; preferably, after the wiring is completed, a switchable cover can be provided on the outside of the wiring rack 5112 to provide better protection and can be disassembled for line maintenance when needed.
[0039] As a specific improved embodiment, the placement rack 51 further includes a spare rack 513. The spare rack 513 is arranged between the two vertical racks 511 and below the horizontal rack 512. A number of placement positions 53 for placing the loading trays are horizontally arranged on the spare rack 513. The placement positions 53 correspond one by one to the placement slots 52 above. Each placement position 53 is provided with a column 531 for positioning the loading tray; cavities 521 are provided on the placement positions 53, and sensors 50 for detecting whether there are loading trays stored in the placement positions 53 are provided in the cavities 521. A wire groove 522 runs horizontally through a number of the placement positions 53. The wire groove 522 communicates with the cavities 521. The lines of the sensors 50 are led to both sides through the wire groove 522, and through holes 5111 corresponding to the wire groove 522 at the placement positions 53 are opened on the vertical racks 511 for the lines to pass through and run to the wiring rack 5112.
[0040] As Figure 6 、 7As shown in the figure, in order to further increase the capacity of the placement rack 51 and adapt to the placement of the loading tray, a spare rack 513 is provided under the lower layer of the cross rack 512. The same number of placement positions 53 are provided corresponding to the placement slots 52, thereby increasing the overall capacity. The placement position 53 uses the platform and the column 531 to locate the placement position of the loading tray. The column 531 matches the positioning holes provided correspondingly on the loading tray to ensure the accurate and stable placement position of the loading tray. The absence of the groove structure can reduce the displacement amount when the manipulator 3 places and removes the loading tray up and down, reduce the spacing requirement between the cross rack 512 and the spare rack 513, and make the structure more compact. The sensor 50, the cavity 521, and the wire groove 522 at the placement position 53 are set with reference to the placement slot 52 to achieve the same technical effect. The through hole 5111 is also set with reference to the placement slot 52 to achieve the same technical effect, making the wire routing orderly.
[0041] As a specific improved implementation, relief slots 523 that expand outward for the tool to pick up and place the fine-tuning tray are provided on both sides of the placement slot 52 and the placement position 53. The relief slots 523 penetrate through the cross rack 512 and the spare rack 513 vertically and horizontally.
[0042] As Figure 6 、 7 shown in the figure, the gripper of the manipulator 3 grips the material tray from both sides for transportation. The relief slots 523 that expand on both sides of the placement slot 52 and the placement position 53 allow the gripper to enter and perform a certain displacement left and right, so as to perform the orderly picking and placing of the loading tray. The vertically and horizontally penetrating relief slots 523 reduce the manufacturing difficulty on the one hand. The relief slots 523 are directly formed by cutting. The vertically and horizontally penetrating spatial state also facilitates the full up and down displacement of the gripper of the manipulator 3 to extend in and pick up and place the loading tray.
[0043] As a specific improved implementation, a notch 524 is provided on the side of the placement slot 52 where the fine-tuning tray is picked up and placed. The notch 524 forms a space opening for the tool to extend into the lower placement position 53 to pick up and place the fine-tuning tray.
[0044] As Figure 6 、 7 shown in the figure, the setting of the notch 524 provides good space above the placement position 53, allowing the upper arm structure of the manipulator 3 to move freely, achieving a more convenient picking and placing effect on the loading tray at the placement position 53, and reducing the spacing requirement between the cross rack 512 and the spare rack 513, making the structure more compact. When the manipulator 3 or the control module determines that the placement slot 52 above a placement position 53 does not place the fine-tuning tray, the notch 524 can be used for the arm displacement of the manipulator 3 to place the loading tray.
[0045] As a specific improved implementation, the placement rack 51 further includes a base 514. The base 514 is arranged between the two side vertical racks 511 and is located at the bottom for installation with the external structure.
[0046] As shown Figure 1 , 6 , as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the base 514 is used to reinforce the bottoms of the two side vertical frames 511, and mounting holes are further provided on the base 514. The base 514 can be installed and fixed to the bracket of the overall device, enabling the placement rack 51 to be stably used.
[0047] As a specific embodiment of an improvement, as shown Figure 8 in, the line scan mechanism 4 can be implemented by the prior art. It has a basic line scan function and includes at least a line scan head 41, a line scan frame 42, a left - right translation assembly 43, a lifting assembly 44, and a front - rear translation assembly 45. The line scan frame 42 is used to place the material tray, and the line scan frame 42 is arranged on the front - rear translation assembly 45. After the material tray is placed on it, the front - rear translation assembly 45 moves the line scan frame 42 under the line scan head 41. The line scan head 41 is arranged on the lifting assembly 44, and the lifting assembly 44 is arranged on the left - right translation assembly 43. When performing line scan detection, through the set operating trajectories of the left - right translation assembly 43, the lifting assembly 44, and the front - rear translation assembly 45, the line scan frame 42 and the line scan head 41 perform relative movements, enabling the line scan head 41 to complete the line scan detection of a predetermined position on the line scan frame 42.
