The robotic arm 432 is connected to the mounting frame 431 and is used to drive the mounting frame 431 to move in the X, Y, and Z directions. In this embodiment, the robotic arm 432 is a six-axis robotic arm.

[0128] Please see again Figure 2 The base 10 includes a marked area 11 arranged side by side with the support base 22. The marking device 100 also includes a pick-and-place mechanism 60, which includes a pick-and-place component 61 and a fixing component 62.

[0129] The pick-and-place assembly 61 is provided corresponding to the carrier 22 and the marked area 11. The pick-and-place assembly 61 includes a pick-and-place component 611 and a pick-and-place drive component 612. The pick-and-place drive component 612 is connected to the pick-and-place component 611 and is used to drive the pick-and-place component 611 to move the tray 300 on the carrier 22 that holds the marked product 200 and place it in the marked area 11.

[0130] The pick-and-place drive unit 612 includes a transverse drive unit 6121, a primary lifting cylinder 6122 connected to the transverse drive unit 6121, and an advanced lifting cylinder 6123 connected to the primary lifting cylinder 6122. The advanced lifting cylinder 6123 is connected to the pick-and-place component 611. The transverse drive unit 6121 is used to drive the primary lifting cylinder 6122, the advanced lifting cylinder 6123, and the pick-and-place component 611 to move along the Y direction. The primary lifting cylinder 6122 is used to drive the advanced lifting cylinder 6123 and the pick-and-place component 611 to move along the Z direction by a first distance. The advanced lifting cylinder 6123 is used to drive the pick-and-place component 611 to move along the Z direction by a second distance. The first distance is greater than the second distance. Since the stroke of the primary lifting cylinder 6122 driving the pick-and-place component 611 to lift and lower is limited, the advanced lifting cylinder 6123 can be used as a supplement to the driving stroke of the primary lifting cylinder 6122. In this embodiment, the pick-and-place component 611 consists of four spaced suction cups.

[0131] The fixing component 62 is located in the marked area 11 of the base 10 and is used to fix the material tray 300 placed in the marked area 11.

[0132] There are two fixing components 62, which are arranged opposite each other along the X direction. Each fixing component 62 includes a fixing member 621 and a fixing cylinder 622 connected to the fixing member 621. The fixing cylinder 622 of the two fixing components 62 is used to push the fixing member 621 to move towards the marked area 11, so that the two fixing members 621 abut against and fix the material tray 300 on which the marked product 200 is placed in the marked area 11.

[0133] Furthermore, the marking device 100 also includes a feeding mechanism 70, which is provided corresponding to the marked area 11. The feeding mechanism 70 includes a feeding component 71 and a feeding drive component 72.

[0134] The unloading component 71 is plate-shaped and is located below the marked area 11. It is used to support the tray 300 on which the pick-up and put-out component 611 is placed.

[0135] The unloading drive 72 is mounted on the base 10 and connected to the unloading component 71. It is used to drive the unloading component 71 to lower the tray 300, which holds the marked product 200, from the marked area 11 for unloading.

[0136] In this embodiment, the unloading drive 72 is a drive structure consisting of a servo motor and a transmission belt, which can drive the unloading component 71 to rise and fall along the Z direction.

[0137] The implementation process of the marking device 100 in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0138] Initially, the pick-and-place component 611 is located above the marked area, and the material support component 211 and the abutment drive component 214 do not form a blockage of the area to be marked 222. Then, multiple material trays 300 are manually stacked on the loading component 51, and each material tray 300 is filled with the product 200 to be marked.

[0139] The transverse drive unit 6121 drives the primary lifting cylinder 6122, the advanced lifting cylinder 6123 and the pick-and-place unit 611 to move along the Y direction from above the marked area to above the area to be marked 222.

[0140] The primary lifting cylinder 6122 and the advanced lifting cylinder 6123 sequentially drive the pick-and-place component 611 to move downward along the Z direction, so that the pick-and-place component 611 picks up the material tray 300.

[0141] The primary lifting cylinder 6122 drives the advanced lifting cylinder 6123 and the pick-and-place component 611 to move the material tray 300 upward along Z to the marking area 222 of the bearing seat 22;

[0142] Multiple material support drive components 212 drive multiple material support components 211 to move toward the marking area 222 to lift the material tray 300;

[0143] The advanced lifting cylinder 6123 drives the pick-and-place component 611 to move the material tray 300 downward along Z, thereby placing the material tray 300 on the material support component 211;

[0144] The pick-and-place component 611 releases the material tray 300, and the advanced lifting cylinder 6123 drives the pick-and-place component 611 to move upward along Z, leaving the marking area 222;

[0145] At least two abutting drive members 214 abut against the material tray 300 and move towards the corresponding abutting member 213 and abut against the abutting member 213, so as to position the material tray 300 by means of edge positioning;

[0146] The transverse drive unit 6121 drives the primary lifting cylinder 6122, the advanced lifting cylinder 6123 and the pick-and-place unit 611 to move along the Y direction from above the area to be marked 222 to above the area already marked.

[0147] The rotary drive 23 drives the carrier 22 to rotate until the carrier 22 stops rotating when it abuts against the limiting member 24.

[0148] The robotic arm 432 drives the transport assembly 41 to move above the carrier 22. The transport drive 412 drives the transport assembly 411 to extend and retract, so that the transport assembly 411 removes the product 200 to be marked on the carrier 22. At this time, if the removal assembly 421 has a marked product 200 removed, the removal drive 422 drives the removal assembly 421 to place the marked product 200 at the position where the transport assembly 411 removes the product 200 to be marked.

[0149] The robotic arm 432 drives the conveying assembly 41 to move above the loading position 331. The removal drive 422 drives the removal component 421 to extend and retract so that the removal component 421 removes the marked product 200 from the marking fixture 31. Then, the conveying drive 412 drives the conveying component 411 to extend and retract so that the conveying component 411 places the product 200 to be marked from the carrier 22 into the receiving groove 311 of the marking fixture 31. The slide table 342 drives the marking fixture 31 to slide along the slide rail 341 in the X direction, moving the marking fixture 31... The product 200 is moved from the loading position 331 to the marking position 332. The pressing drive 352 drives the elastic pressure head 351 to move toward the marking fixture 31 of the marking position 332 so that the elastic pressure head 351 elastically presses down on the product 200. The marking drive 322 drives the marking part 321 to move above the marking position 332 and drives the marking part 321 to move toward the marking fixture 31 of the marking position 332 so that the marking part 321 marks the pressed product 200. After that, the two marking fixtures 31 on the marking base 33 reciprocate the loading and marking.

[0150] After all the products 200 to be marked on the tray 300 on the support seat 22 have been marked and the tray is full of marked products 200, the rotation drive 23 drives the support seat 22 to rotate in the opposite direction. When the support seat 22 rotates to the horizontal position, it abuts against the reset lifting member 25 to lift the support seat 22 horizontally. At this time, the rotation stops. Then, at least two abutting drive members 214 move away from the corresponding abutting member 213 and release the tray 300. The transverse drive member 6121 drives the primary lifting cylinder 6122, the advanced lifting cylinder 6123 and the pick-and-place member 611 to move along the Y direction from above the marked area 11 to above the area to be marked 222. The primary lifting cylinder 6122 and the advanced lifting cylinder 6123 cooperate to drive the pick-and-place member 611 to move downward along the Z direction, so that the pick-and-place member 611 removes the tray 300.

[0151] The transverse drive unit 6121 drives the primary lifting cylinder 6122, the advanced lifting cylinder 6123, the pick-and-place unit 611, and the material tray 300 to move along the Y direction from above the area to be marked 222 to above the area already marked 11.

[0152] The primary lifting cylinder 6122 drives the advanced lifting cylinder 6123, the pick-and-place component 611, and the material tray 300 to move downward along Z, so as to place the material tray 300 on the unloading component 71 of the marked area 11 for stacking; then the loading drive component 52 drives the loading component 51 and the material tray 300 on the loading component 51 to rise along Z by the thickness of the material tray 300, and the unloading drive component 72 drives the unloading component 71 and the material tray 300 on the unloading component 71 to descend along Z by the thickness of the material tray 300, and then continues to repeat the above operation.

[0153] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be embraced within this application.
