[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 30, and a material clamping groove is formed between the fixed clamping member 20 and the movable clamping member 30, and the material clamping groove has an accommodating space for accommodating the target material; the unlocking mechanism 50 is transmission-connected to the material transfer mechanism 40, and the unlocking mechanism 50 is transmission-connected to the movable clamping member 30; the material transfer mechanism 40 can move relative to the base 10, thereby driving the target material to move into the material clamping groove; in the process of the material transfer mechanism 40 driving the target material to move into the material clamping groove, the material transfer mechanism 40 can cooperatively drive the unlocking mechanism 50 to move, thereby driving the movable clamping member 30 to move in the direction away from the fixed clamping member 20 to the first position.

[0047] Furthermore, the movable clamping member 30 is slidably connected to the base 10, and a movable clamping portion 32 is provided on the side of the movable clamping member 30 away from the base 10, and a fixed clamping portion 21 is provided on the side of the fixed clamping member 20 away from the base 10. A material clamping groove is formed between the movable clamping portion 32 and the fixed clamping portion 21, and the material clamping groove can accommodate and position the target material.

[0048] For details, see Figure 3The movable clamping part 32 may be a first sinking platform, the fixed clamping part 21 may be a second sinking platform, and a material clamping groove is formed between the first sinking platform and the second sinking platform.

[0049] In some embodiments, the material transfer mechanism 40 can cooperate with the target material to slide relative to the base 10 along the first direction and / or the second direction and / or the third direction. The material transfer mechanism 40 can also cooperate with the target material to rotate relative to the base 10 until the target material moves into the material clamping groove, thereby realizing the discharge of the target material.

[0050] Specifically, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0051] In some embodiments, when the target material moves to the material clamping groove driven by the material transfer mechanism 40, the material transfer mechanism 40 can cooperate to drive the unlocking mechanism 50 to move, and then the unlocking mechanism 50 drives the movable clamping member 30 to move, so that the movable clamping member 30 moves in the direction away from the fixed clamping member 20 to the first position.

[0052] When the movable clamping member 30 moves to the first position, the movable clamping portion 32 is away from the fixed clamping portion 21, and the clamping inner diameter of the material clamping groove is larger than the clamping outer diameter of the target material. In this way, it is convenient to place the target material into the material clamping groove, or to take the target material out of the material clamping groove.

[0053] The material positioning device of the present application is provided with a fixed clamping member fixedly connected to the base, a movable clamping member movably connected to the base, a material clamping groove is formed between the fixed clamping member and the movable clamping member, the material clamping groove has an accommodating space that can accommodate the target material; the unlocking mechanism and the material transfer mechanism are transmission-connected, and the unlocking mechanism is transmission-connected to the movable clamping member; the material transfer mechanism can move relative to the base, thereby driving the target material to move into the material clamping groove; in the process of the material transfer mechanism driving the target material to move to the material clamping groove, the material transfer mechanism can cooperatively drive the unlocking mechanism to move, thereby driving the movable clamping member to move in the direction away from the fixed clamping member to the first position, the material positioning device of the present application can place the target material into the material clamping groove while unlocking the material clamping groove, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and transfer efficiency of the target material.

[0054] In the examples of this application, please see Figure 1The unlocking mechanism 50 includes an active member 51 and a first follower 52. The active member 51 is fixedly connected to the material transfer mechanism 40 and is provided with a first abutting surface. The first follower 52 is fixedly connected to the movable clamping member 30 and is provided with a second abutting surface. The material transfer mechanism 40 can drive the active member 51 to move toward the first follower 52 until the first abutting surface abuts the second abutting surface. After the first abutting surface abuts the second abutting surface, the material transfer mechanism 40 can drive the first follower 52 via the active member 51, so that the first follower 52 drives the movable clamping member 30 to move to the first position. In this way, the material clamping slot is unlocked.

[0055] In the process of the material transfer mechanism 40 driving the target material to move to the material clamping groove, the material transfer mechanism 40 can coordinately drive the active part 51 and the first follower part 52 to move to unlock the material clamping groove. In this way, the unlocking of the material clamping groove and the discharge of the target material can be coordinated to achieve the target material positioning accuracy and transfer efficiency.

[0056] Furthermore, the first follower 52 is disposed on a side of the movable clamping member 30 away from the fixed clamping member 20 .

[0057] In the examples of this application, please see Figure 4 The unlocking mechanism 50 includes a stopper 53 and an elastic member 54. The stopper 53 and the base 10 are fixed relative to each other. One end of the elastic member 54 abuts the stopper 53, while the other end abuts the movable clamping member 30. When the movable clamping member 30 moves to the first position, the elastic member 54 can drive the movable clamping member 30 to return to the second position toward the fixed clamping member 20. This resets the material clamping groove, allowing it to clamp the target material, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the target material positioning.

[0058] Furthermore, the limiting member 53 is fixedly connected to the fixed clamping member 20 , and the movable clamping member 30 is elastically connected to the fixed clamping member 20 .

[0059] For details, see Figure 4 The limiting member 53 can be a limiting bolt, and the movable clamping member 30 is provided with a countersunk through hole. The inner diameter of the countersunk through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting bolt. The limiting bolt passes through the countersunk through hole and is screwed to the fixed clamping member 20; the inner diameter of the elastic member 54 is larger than the inner diameter of the countersunk through hole. One end of the elastic member 54 abuts against the bolt head of the limiting bolt, and the other end abuts against the hole shoulder of the countersunk through hole, so that the elastic connection between the fixed clamping member 20 and the movable clamping member 30 is realized.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the movable clamping member 30 moves to the first position, the elastic member 54 is in a first compressed state. Thus, under the action of a first rebound force of the elastic member 54, the elastic member 54 can drive the movable clamping member 30 to return to the second position toward the fixed clamping member 20. When the movable clamping member 30 moves to the second position, the elastic member 54 is in a second compressed state. Thus, under the action of the second rebound force of the elastic member 54, the material clamping groove can clamp the target material. At this time, the clamping inner diameter of the material clamping groove matches the clamping outer diameter of the target material.

[0061] Specifically, the first compression degree of the elastic member 54 in the first compression state is greater than the second compression degree in the second compression state, thereby improving the reliability of the material clamping groove in positioning the target material.

[0062] In the examples of this application, please see Figure 3 The unlocking mechanism 50 further includes a rotating member 55 ; the rotating member 55 is disposed at one end of the first follower 52 , the rotating member 55 is rotationally connected to the first follower 52 , and the second abutting surface is disposed on the rotating member 55 .

[0063] Furthermore, the material transfer mechanism 40 can drive the first follower 52 to move via the active member 51 and the rotating member 55, so that the first follower 52 drives the movable clamping member 30 to move to the first position. This can simultaneously unlock the material clamping groove and reduce the friction force when the active member 51 abuts and pushes the first follower 52, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the material positioning device.

[0064] Specifically, the rotating member 55 may be a cylindrical roller, which is rotatably connected to the first follower 52 via a bearing and a fixed connection member.

[0065] In the examples of this application, please see Figure 1 , the first abutting surface includes a guiding inclined surface 511 .

[0066] In this way, the movement of the material transfer mechanism 40 can be simplified. The material transfer mechanism 40 can guide the movement of the rotating member 55 and the first follower 52 by moving in a single direction toward the base 10, so that the first follower 52 drives the movable clamping member 30 to move to the first position.

[0067] In the examples of this application, please see Figure 2 The material positioning device also includes a second follower 80; the second follower 80 is fixedly connected to the movable clamping member 30, and a first material support surface is provided at one end of the second follower 80 facing the material clamping groove, and the first material support surface is coplanar with the second material support surface of the material clamping groove.

[0068] Furthermore, the movable clamping member 30 is provided with a second concave cavity, and the second follower member 80 is accommodated in the second concave cavity. The first material support surface is arranged toward the material clamping groove and is coplanar with the second material support surface of the material clamping groove, thereby achieving stable and reliable support for the target material.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the movable clamping member 30 moves to the first position, the movable clamping portion 32 is away from the fixed clamping portion 31, and the movable clamping portion 32 cannot support the target material. At this time, the fixed clamping portion 31 and the second follower 80 cooperate to support the target material. In this way, when the material clamping groove is in the unlocked state, a stable and reliable support for the target material is achieved.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, one of the base 10 and the movable clamping member 30 is provided with a guide rail 11, and the other is provided with a position limiting guide portion 31 matching the guide rail 11. In this way, the sliding connection between the base 10 and the movable clamping member 30 is achieved.

[0071] For some examples, see Figure 4 A guide rail 11 is provided on one side of the base 10 close to the movable clamping member 30, and a limit guide portion 31 is provided on one side of the movable clamping member 30 close to the base 10. The limit guide portion 31 can slide in the guide rail 11, thereby realizing a sliding connection between the base 10 and the movable clamping member 30.

[0072] In other embodiments, a limiting guide portion 31 is provided on the side of the base 10 close to the movable clamping member 30, and a guide rail 11 is provided on the side of the movable clamping member 30 close to the base 10. The limiting guide portion 31 can slide in the guide rail 11, thereby realizing a sliding connection between the base 10 and the movable clamping member 30.

[0073] In the examples of this application, please see Figure 3 The material positioning device also includes a first adsorption pipe and a first power component, and the first adsorption pipe and the first power component are connected; the first material adsorption end 70 of the first adsorption pipe is fixedly connected to the fixed clamping member 20, and a first concave cavity is provided in the fixed clamping member 20, and the first material adsorption end 70 is accommodated in the first concave cavity; under the action of the first power of the first power component, the first material adsorption end 70 can adsorb or release the target material.

[0074] Furthermore, when the material transfer mechanism 40 drives the target material to move into the material clamping groove, the first power component is turned on. Under the action of the first power of the first power component, the first material adsorption end 70 can adsorb the target material, thereby achieving adsorption and fixation of the target material.

[0075] In some embodiments, while the material clamping groove clamps the target material, the target material is also adsorbed and fixed. This can further improve the accuracy and reliability of the positioning of the target material to ensure the accuracy of subsequent processes, which may be gluing the target material.

[0076] Furthermore, by turning off the first power assembly, the first material adsorption end 70 can release the target material, thereby facilitating the removal of the target material from the material clamping groove.

[0077] In the examples of this application, please see Figure 1 The material positioning device also includes a second adsorption pipe and a second power assembly, and the second adsorption pipe and the second power assembly are connected; the second material adsorption end 90 of the second adsorption pipe is connected to the material transfer mechanism 40, and the second material adsorption end 90 is arranged toward the material clamping groove; under the second power action of the second power assembly, the second material adsorption end 90 can adsorb or release the target material.

[0078] In some embodiments, the second material adsorption end 90 is fixedly connected to the material transfer mechanism 40. Under the action of the second power of the second power assembly, the second material adsorption end 90 can adsorb the target material, thereby achieving coordinated movement of the target material and the material transfer mechanism 40. Then, driven by the material transfer mechanism 40, the target material can be moved into the material clamping groove, thereby achieving the discharge of the target material.

[0079] When the target material moves to the material clamping groove, the second power assembly is turned off, the second material adsorption end 90 can release the target material, and the material transfer mechanism 40 can cooperate with the second material adsorption end 90 to move to a position away from the material clamping groove to facilitate subsequent process operations, such as dispensing the target material.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, the material positioning device also includes a support seat 100, a first transmission mechanism 110 and a second transmission mechanism 120; the first transmission mechanism 110 and the support seat 100 are fixedly connected; the first transmission mechanism 110 is transmission-connected to the second transmission mechanism 120, the first transmission mechanism 110 is transmission-connected to the base 10, and the second transmission mechanism 120 is transmission-connected to the base 10; driven by the first transmission mechanism 110, the second transmission mechanism 120 and the base 10 can rotate around the first axis relative to the support seat 100; driven by the second transmission mechanism 120, the base 10 can cooperate with the target material to rotate around the second axis relative to the first transmission mechanism 110; the first axis intersects with the second axis.

[0081] In this way, the material positioning device can flexibly adjust the angular position of the target material, thereby enabling rapid and accurate adjustment of the posture of the target material.

[0082] Preferably, the first axial direction is perpendicular to the second axial direction.

[0083] For further information, see Figure 2 The first transmission mechanism 110 includes a first support component 111, a first transmission component 112 and a first drive device 113, wherein the first support component 111 is fixedly connected to the support base 100, the first drive device 113 is transmission-connected to the first transmission component 112, the first transmission component 112 is rotationally connected to the first support component 111, and is transmission-connected to the second transmission mechanism 120.

[0085] Specifically, the first gear train includes a first driving gear and a first driven gear in transmission connection. The first driving shaft is fixedly connected to the first driving gear. The first driven gear extends out of the first accommodating cavity through the first extension opening and is in transmission connection with the second transmission mechanism 120. In this way, a sequential transmission connection is achieved between the first driving shaft, the first driving gear, the first driven gear, and the second transmission mechanism 120.

[0086] Furthermore, the first transmission mechanism 110 can be a first hollow mechanism. Specifically, the first driven gear can be a first hollow gear, which is provided with a first gear through-hole. The first support assembly 111 is also provided with a first through-hole, and the first through-hole, the first gear through-hole, and the first extension opening are connected.

[0091] The following describes the working process of the material positioning device in the embodiment of the present application in combination with the dispensing application scenario, as follows:

[0092] 1. Unlocking the material clamping groove and releasing the target material: Turn on the second power component, and under the action of the second power of the second power component, the second material adsorption end 90 can adsorb the target material; in the process of the material transfer mechanism 40 moving relative to the base 10, it can drive the target material to move into the material clamping groove; in the process of the material transfer mechanism 40 driving the target material to move to the material clamping groove, the material transfer mechanism 40 can drive the active member 51 to move toward the rotating member 55 until the first abutting surface abuts the second abutting surface; after the first abutting surface abuts the second abutting surface, the material transfer mechanism 40 can drive the first follower member 52 to move through the active member 51 and the rotating member 55, so that the first follower member 52 drives the movable clamping member 30 to move to the first position, thereby collaboratively realizing the unlocking of the material clamping groove and the releasing of the target material.

[0093] 2. Clamping and adsorption of the target material: When the target material moves to the material clamping groove, the second power assembly is turned off, and the second material adsorption end 90 can release the target material. The material transfer mechanism 40 cooperates with the second material adsorption end 90 and the active member 51 to move to a position away from the material clamping groove, so that the active member 51 and the rotating member 55 are separated. When the movable clamping member 30 moves to the first position, the elastic member 54 in the first compressed state can drive the movable clamping member 30 to return to the second position toward the fixed clamping member 20, thereby resetting the material clamping groove and clamping the target material. When the target material moves to the material clamping groove, the first power assembly is turned on. Under the action of the first power of the first power assembly, the first material adsorption end 70 can adsorb the target material to achieve adsorption and fixation of the target material. In this way, clamping and adsorption of the target material can be achieved.

[0094] 3. Glue dispensing of target materials: Driven by the first transmission mechanism 110 and the second transmission mechanism 12, the base 10 can coordinate with the material clamping groove and the target material to rotate around the first axis and / or the second axis. In this way, the angle posture of the target material can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving the gluing efficiency and accuracy of the target material.

[0095] 4. Unlocking the material clamping groove and taking out the target material: After the target material is glued in the material clamping groove, the material transfer mechanism 40 can coordinate the movement of the second material adsorption end 90 and the active part 51. When the material clamping groove is unlocked, the second power component is turned on, and the second material adsorption end 90 can adsorb the target material after glue dispensing. Driven by the material transfer mechanism 40, the target material after glue dispensing is taken out from the material clamping groove.

[0096] The material positioning device in the embodiment of the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0097] 1. Set the fixed clamping member and the movable clamping member to be elastically connected, the active member and the material transfer mechanism are fixedly connected, the first follower member is fixedly connected to the movable clamping member, and the material transfer mechanism can coordinate with the active member and the target material to move. In the process of the target material moving to the material clamping groove, the active member can drive the first follower member to move, and then move the movable clamping member to the first position. In this way, the unlocking of the material clamping groove and the discharge of the target material can be coordinated to achieve the goal of improving the positioning accuracy and transfer efficiency of the target material.

[0098] 2. The relative position of the limiting member and the base is fixed, one end of the elastic member abuts against the limiting member, and the other end of the elastic member abuts against the movable clamping member. When the movable clamping member moves to the first position, the elastic member can drive the movable clamping member to reset to the second position in the direction close to the fixed clamping member. In this way, the material clamping groove is reset, which can improve the reliability of the material positioning device in positioning the target material.

[0099] 3. A first adsorption pipe and a first power assembly are set, and the first material adsorption end of the first adsorption pipe is fixedly connected to the fixed clamping member. Under the action of the first power of the first power assembly, the first material adsorption end can adsorb the target material, thereby further improving the reliability of the material positioning device in positioning the target material.

[0100] 4. Set the first transmission mechanism and the support seat to be fixedly connected, and the first transmission mechanism, the second transmission mechanism and the base are sequentially connected. In this way, the posture of the target material can be adjusted quickly and accurately, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and efficiency of the target material.

[0101] The following describes specific embodiments of the present application based on the above technical solutions.

[0102] Example 1

[0103] See Figures 1 to 4 ,Example 1 provides a material positioning device, including: a base 10, a fixed clamping member 20, a movable clamping member 30, a material transfer mechanism 40 and an unlocking mechanism 50; the fixed clamping member 20 is fixedly connected to the base 10, the movable clamping member 30 is movably connected to the base 10, a material clamping groove is formed between the fixed clamping member 20 and the movable clamping member 30, and the material clamping groove has an accommodating space for accommodating a target material; the unlocking mechanism 50 is transmission-connected to the material transfer mechanism 40, and the unlocking mechanism 50 is transmission-connected to the movable clamping member 30; the material transfer mechanism 40 can move relative to the base 10, and thereby drive the target material to move into the material clamping groove; in the process of the material transfer mechanism 40 driving the target material to move into the material clamping groove, the material transfer mechanism 40 can cooperatively drive the unlocking mechanism 50 to move, and thereby drive the movable clamping member 30 to move in the direction away from the fixed clamping member 20 to the first position.

[0104] The material transfer mechanism 40 can cooperate with the target material to slide relative to the base 10 along the first direction and / or the second direction and / or the third direction. The material transfer mechanism 40 can also cooperate with the target material to rotate relative to the base 10 until the target material moves into the material clamping groove. In this way, the target material can be discharged.

[0105] The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0106] The material positioning device also includes a second adsorption pipe and a second power component. The second adsorption pipe and the second power component are connected. The second material adsorption end 90 of the second adsorption pipe is fixedly connected to the material transfer mechanism 40. The second material adsorption end 90 is arranged toward the material clamping groove. Under the second power action of the second power component, the second material adsorption end 90 can adsorb the target material to achieve the coordinated movement of the target material and the material transfer mechanism 40, and then achieve the target material being able to move into the material clamping groove under the drive of the material transfer mechanism 40.

[0107] When the target material moves to the material clamping groove, the second power assembly is turned off, the second material adsorption end 90 can release the target material, and the material transfer mechanism 40 can cooperate with the second material adsorption end 90 to move to a position away from the material clamping groove to facilitate the operation of subsequent processes.

[0108] The movable clamping member 30 is slidably connected to the base 10. A movable clamping portion 32 is provided on the side of the movable clamping member 30 away from the base 10, and a fixed clamping portion 21 is provided on the side of the fixed clamping member 20 away from the base 10. A material clamping groove is formed between the movable clamping portion 32 and the fixed clamping portion 21, and the material clamping groove can accommodate and position the target material.

[0109] A guide rail 11 is provided on one side of the base 10 close to the movable clamping member 30, and a limit guide portion 31 is provided on one side of the movable clamping member 30 close to the base 10. The limit guide portion 31 can slide in the guide rail 11, thereby realizing a sliding connection between the base 10 and the movable clamping member 30.

[0110] The unlocking mechanism 50 includes an active member 51 and a first follower 52. The active member 51 is fixedly connected to the material transfer mechanism 40 and is provided with a first abutting surface. The first follower 52 is fixedly connected to the movable clamping member 30 and is provided with a second abutting surface. The material transfer mechanism 40 can drive the active member 51 toward the first follower 52 until the first abutting surface abuts the second abutting surface. After the first abutting surface abuts the second abutting surface, the material transfer mechanism 40 can drive the first follower 52 via the active member 51, so that the first follower 52 drives the movable clamping member 30 to the first position. In this way, the material clamping slot is unlocked.

[0111] When the movable clamping member 30 moves to the first position, the movable clamping portion 32 is away from the fixed clamping portion 21, and the clamping inner diameter of the material clamping groove is larger than the clamping outer diameter of the target material. In this way, it is convenient to place the target material into the material clamping groove, or to take the target material out of the material clamping groove.

[0112] The unlocking mechanism 50 also includes a limiting bolt and an elastic member 54. The movable clamping member 30 is provided with a countersunk through hole. The inner diameter of the countersunk through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting bolt. The limiting bolt passes through the countersunk through hole and is screwed to the fixed clamping member 20; the inner diameter of the elastic member 54 is larger than the inner diameter of the countersunk through hole. One end of the elastic member 54 abuts against the bolt head of the limiting bolt, and the other end abuts against the shoulder of the countersunk through hole. In this way, an elastic connection between the fixed clamping member 20 and the movable clamping member 30 is realized.

[0113] When the movable clamping member 30 moves to the first position, the elastic member 54 can drive the movable clamping member 30 to return to the second position toward the fixed clamping member 20. In this way, the material clamping groove can be reset to clamp the target material, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the target material positioning.

[0114] The unlocking mechanism 50 also includes a rotating member 55, which is disposed at one end of the first follower 52 and is rotatably connected to the first follower 52. The second abutment surface is provided on the rotating member 55. The material transfer mechanism 40, through the active member 51 and the rotating member 55, can drive the first follower 52 to move, thereby causing the first follower 52 to move the movable clamping member 30 to the first position. This allows the material clamping slot to be unlocked while reducing friction caused by the active member 51 abutting and pushing the first follower 52, thereby lowering maintenance costs for the material positioning device.

[0115] The first abutting surface includes a guiding slope 511, which simplifies the movement of the material transfer mechanism 40. The material transfer mechanism 40 can be moved in a single direction toward the base 10 to guide the movement of the rotating member 55 and the first follower 52, so that the first follower 52 drives the movable clamping member 30 to move to the first position.

[0116] The material positioning device also includes a second follower 80. The movable clamping member 30 is provided with a second cavity. The second follower 80 is accommodated in the second cavity and fixedly connected to the movable clamping member 30. The second follower 80 has a first material support surface at one end facing the material clamping slot. The first material support surface is coplanar with the second material support surface of the material clamping slot. This ensures stable and reliable support for the target material.

[0117] The material positioning device also includes a first adsorption pipe and a first power assembly, and the first adsorption pipe and the first power assembly are connected; the first material adsorption end 70 of the first adsorption pipe is fixedly connected to the fixed clamping member 20, and a first concave cavity is provided in the fixed clamping member 20, and the first material adsorption end 70 is accommodated in the first concave cavity; under the action of the first power of the first power assembly, the first material adsorption end 70 can adsorb or release the target material.

[0118] When the material transfer mechanism 40 drives the target material to move into the material clamping groove, the first power component is turned on. Under the action of the first power of the first power component, the first material adsorption end 70 can adsorb the target material, thereby achieving adsorption and fixation of the target material.

[0119] By turning off the first power assembly, the first material adsorption end 70 can release the target material, thereby facilitating the removal of the target material from the material clamping groove.

[0120] The material positioning device further includes a support base 100 , a first transmission mechanism 110 and a second transmission mechanism 120 .

[0121] The first transmission mechanism 110 includes a first support assembly 111, a first driving gear, a first driven gear, and a first driving device 113.

The first driving gear and the first driven gear are both accommodated in the first accommodating cavity and are both rotatably connected to the first support assembly 111. The first driving gear and the first driven gear are in transmission connection. The first driving shaft of the first driving device 113 extends into the first accommodating cavity through the first insertion port and is fixedly connected to the first driving gear. The first driven gear extends out of the first accommodating cavity through the first extension port and is in transmission connection with the second transmission mechanism 120. In this way, a sequential transmission connection is achieved between the first driving shaft, the first driving gear, the first driven gear, and the second transmission mechanism 120.

[0122] The second transmission mechanism 120 includes a second support assembly 121, a second driving gear, a second driven gear, and a second drive device 123. The second support assembly 121 is in transmission connection with the first driven gear. The second support assembly 121 is provided with a second accommodating cavity, a second insertion opening, and a second extension opening, both of which are connected to the second accommodating cavity. The second driving gear and the second driven gear are both accommodated in the second accommodating cavity and are both rotationally connected to the second support assembly 121. The second driving gear and the second driven gear are in transmission connection. The second drive shaft of the second drive device 123 extends into the second accommodating cavity through the second insertion opening and is fixedly connected to the second driving gear. The second driven gear extends out of the second accommodating cavity through the second extension opening and is in transmission connection with the base 10. In this way, a sequential transmission connection is achieved between the second drive shaft, the second driving gear, the second driven gear, and the base 10.

[0123] Driven by the first transmission mechanism 110, the base 10 can cooperate with the target material to rotate around the first axis relative to the support seat 100; driven by the second transmission mechanism 120, the base 10 can cooperate with the target material to rotate around the second axis relative to the first transmission mechanism 110. In this way, the material positioning device can quickly and accurately adjust the posture of the target material, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and efficiency of the target material.

[0124] The first axial direction is perpendicular to the second axial direction.

[0125] Example 2

[0126] See Figures 1 to 4 The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 lies in the setting of the sliding connection between the base 10 and the movable clamping member 30 and the setting of the detection equipment. The similarities between Example 2 and Example 1 will not be repeated here, and only the differences between Example 2 and Example 1 will be described.

[0127] A limiting guide portion 31 is provided on one side of the base 10 close to the movable clamping member 30, and a guide rail 11 is provided on one side of the movable clamping member 30 close to the base 10. The limiting guide portion 31 can slide in the guide rail 11, thereby realizing a sliding connection between the base 10 and the movable clamping member 30.

[0128] The material positioning device also includes a detection device and a control device, and the detection device is electrically connected to the control device; the detection device can obtain the air pressure status information in the first adsorption pipe and send the air pressure status information to the control device; the control device receives the air pressure status information and judges the air pressure status in the first adsorption pipe based on the air pressure status information. When the air pressure status is a negative pressure state, it is determined that the first material adsorption end 70 has successfully adsorbed the target material.

[0131] 2. The relative position of the limiting member and the base is fixed, one end of the elastic member abuts against the limiting member, and the other end of the elastic member abuts against the movable clamping member.
