[0108] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a loading device 100 for mounting workpieces 200 in a product slot 310. In this embodiment, there are three workpieces 200, and they are made of iron. The product 300 is a jig. The loading device 100 includes a base 10 and a loading mechanism 20.

[0109] The loading mechanism 20 includes a transfer member 21 for transferring workpiece 200, a sliding assembly 22, a rotating assembly 23, and a moving drive assembly 24. The sliding assembly 22 is connected to the transfer member 21 and is used to drive the transfer member 21 to move elastically along a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The rotating assembly 23 includes a rotating member 231, which is connected to the sliding assembly 22 and is used to drive the sliding assembly 22 and the transfer member 21 to rotate. The moving drive assembly 24 is mounted on the base 10 and connected to the rotating member 231, and is used to drive the rotating member 231 to move toward the product slot 310. When the workpiece 200 is held against the wall of the product slot 310, the transfer member 21 can move relative to the sliding assembly 22 along the first direction and / or the second direction, and drive the sliding assembly 22 to rotate, so as to install the workpiece 200 in the product slot 310.

[0129] Please see Figure 7The carrying mechanism 30 also includes a carrying component 37 and a lifting component 38. There are two carrying components 37 located on both sides of the carrying frame 31. Each carrying component 37 includes a mounting member 371 and an elastic buckle 372. The mounting member 371 is plate-shaped and connected to the carrying frame 31. The two elastic buckles 372 are rotatably positioned on the side where the two mounting members 371 are close to each other, with one end of each elastic buckle extending into the carrying frame 31 to support the tray 400. The lifting component 38 is located on the carrying frame 31 and below the storage position 311. It is used to lift the tray 400 conveyed by the feeding component 36 above the elastic buckles 372, so that the elastic buckles 372 support the tray 400.

[0130] The lifting assembly 38 includes a lifting plate 381 and a lifting drive 382. The lifting drive 382 is mounted on the base 10 and connected to the lifting plate 381. It is used to drive the lifting plate 381 to lift and move to the top of the tray 400 at the receiving position 314 above the elastic buckle 372. When the tray 400 is above the elastic buckle 372, the elastic buckle 372 resets, and the lifting drive 382 drives the lifting plate 381 to move down, thereby moving the tray 400 down onto the elastic buckle 372.

[0131] There are multiple trays 400, divided into a bottom-level picking tray 400 and a waiting tray 400. The carrying mechanism 30 also includes a material distribution component 39, which includes an inserting component 391, an inserting drive component 392, and a lifting drive component 393. The inserting drive component 392 is connected to the inserting component 391 and is used to drive the inserting component 391 to move laterally so that the inserting component 391 is inserted between the picking tray 400 and the waiting tray 400. In this embodiment, the inserting drive component 392 is a cylinder. The lifting drive component 393 is disposed on the mounting component 371 and connected to the inserting drive component 392. It is used to lift the inserting component 391 so that the picking tray 400 and the waiting tray 400 are separated. In this embodiment, the lifting drive component 393 is a cylinder.

[0132] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 8 The loading device 100 also includes a locking mechanism 40, which includes a locking frame 41, a connecting pin 42 for insertion into the product 300, a locking plate 43, and a locking drive member 44. The locking frame 41 is mounted on the base 10, the connecting pin 42 is mounted on the locking plate 43, and the locking drive member 44 is mounted on the locking frame 41 and connected to the locking plate 43, for driving the locking plate 43 to move so that the connecting pin 42 on the locking plate 43 locks the product 300.

[0133] The implementation process of the loading device 100 in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0134] The carrier plate 400, on which multiple layers of workpieces 200 are placed, is manually placed onto the conveyor 321;

[0135] Insertion drive 392 drives insertion component 391 to move laterally so that insertion component 391 is inserted between picking tray 400 and picking tray 400. Lifting drive 393 drives insertion drive 392 to move upward so as to lift insertion component 391 so as to separate picking tray 400 and picking tray 400.

[0136] The conveying drive 322 drives the conveying component 321 to move, so that the tray 400 containing the workpiece 200 in the storage position 311 moves toward the picking position 312. When it moves between the storage position 311 and the picking position 312, the vertical drive 332 drives the material feeding component 333 to rise and fall and move laterally under the action of the horizontal drive 331, thereby feeding the tray 400 conveyed by the conveying component 32 onto the lifting plate 351 of the picking position 312 and abutting against the baffle 313. Then, the driving end of the positioning drive 342 moves toward the positioning component 341 to push the tray 400 that has moved to the picking position 312 toward the positioning component 341 and position the tray 400.

[0137] The moving drive assembly 24 drives the transfer member 21 to transfer the workpiece 200 on the carrier plate 400 and move the workpiece 200 toward the product slot 310. Since both the workpiece 200 and the product slot 310 are rectangular, the swing drive assembly 242 first drives the swing member 232 to swing the rotating member 231 so that the long side and short side of the workpiece 200 correspond to the long inner side and short inner side of the product slot 310, respectively. Then the workpiece 200 is placed in the product slot 310. When the workpiece 200 is held against the slot wall of the product slot 310, it can drive the transfer member 21 to move relative to the sliding assembly 22 in the first direction and / or the second direction and drive the sliding assembly 22 to rotate, so that it is installed in the product slot 310.

[0138] After all the workpieces 200 on the carrier plate 400 are removed, the lifting drive 352 drives the lifting plate 351 to move the carrier plate 400 to the stop position 315 and be carried by the feeding component 361. The feeding drive 362 drives the feeding component 361 to move so that the empty carrier plate 400 at the stop position 315 moves towards the receiving position 314 to the lifting plate 381. Then, the lifting drive 382 drives the lifting plate 381 to lift the carrier plate 400 above the elastic buckle 372. When the carrier plate 400 is above the elastic buckle 372, the elastic buckle 372 resets, and the lifting drive 382 drives the lifting plate 381 to move down, so that the carrier plate 400 moves down onto the elastic buckle 372 and is stacked in sequence. After a certain number are reached, they are manually removed.

[0139] 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.
