[0057] As mentioned above, the back cover of a mobile phone is generally made of a glass sheet. During the production process, the edges of the glass sheet need to be ground. To improve work efficiency, existing grinding equipment generally uses a method of grinding a stack of glass sheets simultaneously. Since the back cover of a mobile phone is provided with a camera hole, the glass sheet will also be formed with through holes during the manufacturing process. Since the back cover of a mobile phone is generally provided with multiple camera holes, the glass sheet is correspondingly provided with multiple through holes.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a glass sheet loading method, which includes:

[0059] The first transport module 300 transports the glass sheet and places the glass sheet into the loading fixture 110;

[0060] The first handling module 300 picks up and places glass sheets one by one to form a stack of glass sheets within the loading jig 110, wherein all through holes on one glass sheet correspond one to one with all through holes on another glass sheet, thereby forming a plurality of vertically extending insertion holes on the stack;

[0061] The second transport module 400 transports the latch 112 and inserts the latch 112 into one of the plurality of insertion holes;

[0062] The second transport module 400 sequentially transports and inserts two or more latches 112 into the stack, with any two latches 112 being inserted into different insertion holes.

[0063] The first conveyor line 100 conveys the loading fixture 110 to the processing station.

[0064] The grinding device is provided at the processing station, and the loading fixture 110 can transport the stack composed of a stack of glass sheets to the grinding device, and the grinding device can grind the stack of glass sheets at the same time.

[0065] Based on the above, in this embodiment, the glass sheets are supplied to the loading jig 110 located on the first conveyor line 100 through the first conveyor module 300. After being stacked to form a stack in the loading jig 110, the second conveyor module 400 inserts the pins 112 into the stack to position the multiple glass sheets loaded in the loading jig 110, thereby completing the loading operation of the glass sheets. Among them, the pins 112 can prevent the glass sheets from shifting during the transportation along the first conveyor line 100, thereby ensuring that the outer edges of all glass sheets in the loading jig 110 are always aligned, and further ensuring that the subsequent grinding device can grind a stack of glass sheets at the same time. Compared with manual loading, this embodiment can automatically load glass sheets, with high work efficiency, thereby improving the production efficiency of mobile phone back covers.

[0066] Further, see Figures 2 to 8 , and combined with Figure 1 , this embodiment also provides a glass sheet loading system, which uses the glass sheet loading method as described above to load glass sheets. The glass sheet loading system in this embodiment includes a first conveyor line 100, a loading device, a first transport module 300 and a second transport module 400. The first conveyor line 100 is configured to convey a loading jig 110. The loading device includes a pallet transfer mechanism 210, a first transport module 220 and a buffer platform 230. The pallet transfer mechanism 210 is configured to transport a pallet carrying glass sheets. The first transport module 220 is configured to transport the glass sheets from the pallet to the buffer platform 230. The first transport module 300 is configured to transport the glass sheets from the buffer platform 230 and stack the glass sheets in the loading jig 110. The second transport module 400 is configured to transport a pin 112 and insert the pin 112 into multiple glass sheets stacked in the loading jig 110.

[0067] Specifically, the glass sheets are delivered through a pallet, and the pallet transfer mechanism 210 transports the pallet carrying the glass sheets to a position suitable for transportation by the first transport module 220. The first transport module 220 takes the glass sheets from the pallet and transports the glass sheets to the buffer platform 230, while the first transport module 300 transports the glass sheets one by one from the buffer platform 230, and stacks the glass sheets into the loading jig 110 after each glass sheet is taken out. After the first transport module 300 transports the glass sheets between the buffer platform 230 and the loading jig 110 several times, a stack of glass sheets is stacked in the loading jig 110. Afterwards, the second transport module 400 inserts the pins 112 one by one into the multiple glass sheets stacked in the loading jig 110, thereby positioning the multiple glass sheets stacked in the loading jig 110. Afterwards, the first conveyor line 100 conveys the loading fixture 110 to a grinding device disposed at a processing station, and the grinding device grinds a stack of glass sheets simultaneously.

[0068] Based on the above, the glass sheet feeding system in this embodiment can automatically feed the glass sheets with high working efficiency, thereby improving the production efficiency of the mobile phone back cover.

[0069] Preferably, in this embodiment, a placement block 111 is provided on the loading jig 110, and at least two placement holes (not shown in the figure) are provided on the placement block 111, and latches 112 are placed in all the placement holes. That is, for all loading jigs 110 transported along the first conveyor line 100, each loading jig 110 is stored with a latch 112, and the second handling module 400 can remove the latch 112 from the loading jig 110 and insert the latch 112 into the multiple glass sheets loaded in the loading jig 110. In this embodiment, by storing the required latches 112 on the loading jig 110, the latches 112 are avoided from being placed randomly on one side of the first conveyor line 100, which can facilitate the second handling module 400 to transport and insert the latches 112.

[0070] In this embodiment, the pallet transfer mechanism 210 preferably includes a pallet loading module 211, a pallet unloading module 212 and a pallet transfer module 213, wherein the pallet loading module 211 includes a first pallet 2111, a first driving member 2112 and two first conveyor belts 2113 arranged opposite to each other, the first conveyor belt 2113 is configured to convey a pallet carrying glass sheets, the first driving member 2112 is configured to drive the first pallet 2111 to move in a vertical direction, the first pallet 2111 can pass through the gap between the two first conveyor belts 2113, that is, the pallet carrying glass sheets can be placed on the first conveyor belt 2113, the first conveyor belt 2113 can convey the pallet carrying glass sheets to above the first pallet 2111, and then the first driving member 2112 drives the first pallet 2111 to rise in the vertical direction so that the first pallet 2111 can lift the pallet carrying glass sheets. Since two first conveyor belts 2113 arranged opposite to each other are used to transport pallets carrying glass sheets in this embodiment, the operation of transporting pallets to the pallet loading module 2111 can be performed by an AGV cart. Specifically, the support arm of the AGV cart can be moved to enter between the two first conveyor belts 2113, and the pallets originally placed on the support arm of the AGV cart can be transferred from the support arm to the first conveyor belt 2113 under the friction of the first conveyor belt 2113.

[0071] The pallet unloading module 212 includes a second pallet 2121, a second driving member 2122 and two second conveyor belts 2123 arranged opposite to each other. The pallet transfer module 213 is configured to move the pallet from the first pallet 2111 to the second pallet 2121. The second driving member 2122 is configured to drive the second pallet 2121 to move in a vertical direction. The second pallet 2121 can pass through the gap between the two second conveyor belts 2123. The second conveyor belts 2123 are configured to transport empty pallets. That is, when the tray carrying the glass sheets is lifted a certain distance by the first pallet 2111, the tray transfer module 213 can move the tray from the first pallet 2111 to the second pallet 2121, and then the first transport module 220 takes the glass sheets from the tray and transports the glass sheets to the buffer platform 230. After all the glass sheets in the tray are taken out, the second driving member 2122 drives the second pallet 2121 to descend in the vertical direction, and the second pallet 2121 can pass through the gap between the two second conveyor belts 2123. When the second pallet 2121 descends in the vertical direction to pass through the gap between the two second conveyor belts 2123, the pallet originally placed on the second pallet 2121 is transferred to the second conveyor belt 2123, and the second conveyor belt 2123 can transport the empty pallet from above the second pallet 2121 to a position away from the second pallet 2121.

[0072] In this embodiment, two second conveyor belts 2123 arranged opposite to each other are used to transport empty pallets, and the support arm of the AGV can move to enter between the two second conveyor belts 2123, and the pallets originally loaded on the second conveyor belts 2123 can be transferred to the support arm of the AGV.

[0073] That is, in this embodiment, no manual intervention is required for loading, transferring and unloading the tray, thereby making the tray conveying efficiency higher, thereby further improving the working efficiency of the glass sheet loading system, and further improving the production efficiency of the mobile phone back cover.

[0074] It is understandable that the first driving member 2112 and the second driving member 2122 can both be selected as linear driving structures such as KK modules or cylinders or electric cylinders, and there is no specific limitation on this in this embodiment.

[0075] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the AGV can transport a stack of pallets to the first conveyor belt 2113 at one time, that is, the first pallet 2111 can lift multiple pallets carrying glass sheets at one time, and the first driving member 2112 can drive the first pallet 2111 to rise in the vertical direction, and enable the uppermost one of the multiple pallets to be moved to a position suitable for transportation by the pallet transfer module 213. Specifically, the pallet transfer module 213 can transport multiple pallets one by one to the second pallet 2121, and each time the uppermost one on the second pallet 2121 is moved to the uppermost one After all the glass sheets in the square tray are taken away, the second driving member 2122 drives the second pallet 2121 to descend once, and the distance that the second pallet 2121 descends each time is equal to the height of one pallet. After that, the pallet transfer module 213 moves a pallet from the first pallet 2111 to the second pallet 2121. After the pallet transfer module 213 moves a pallet from the first pallet 2111 each time, the first driving member 2112 drives the first pallet 2111 to rise once, and the distance that the first pallet 2111 rises each time is equal to the height of one pallet. After the tray transfer module 213 has transferred all trays from the first tray 2111 to the second tray 2121 and all glass sheets have been removed from the trays on the second tray 2121, the second drive member 2122 drives the second tray 2121 downward in a vertical direction until the second tray 2121 passes through the gap between the two second conveyor belts 2123, thereby transferring all trays to the second conveyor belt 2123. The AGV then removes all trays from the second conveyor belt 2123 at once. The loading device in this embodiment can transport multiple trays at once, thereby achieving higher conveying efficiency, further improving the operating efficiency of the glass sheet loading system, and thus further improving the production efficiency of mobile phone back covers.

[0076] In addition, the tray loading module 211 and the tray unloading module 212 also include a tray positioning assembly, which includes a pair of seventh driving members 2114 arranged relative to each other, and the movable end of the seventh driving member 2114 is installed with a positioning plate 2115, so that the two positioning plates 2115 can move relative to or back to back, thereby positioning the top tray of the first pallet 2111 or the top tray of the second pallet 2121, thereby facilitating the tray transfer module 213 to move the pallet from the first pallet 2111, or facilitating the first transport module 220 to move the glass sheet from the pallet.

[0077] Furthermore, the pallet transfer module 213 includes a first clamping jaw 2131, a third driving member 2132, and a fourth driving member 2133. The first clamping jaw 2131 is configured to clamp or release a pallet, the third driving member 2132 is configured to drive the first clamping jaw 2131 to move vertically, and the fourth driving member 2133 is configured to drive the first clamping jaw 2131 to move along the arrangement direction of the pallet loading module 211 and the pallet unloading module 212. This enables the first clamping jaw 2131 to clamp the pallet on the first support plate 2111 of the pallet loading module 211 and transfer the pallet to the second support plate 2121 of the pallet unloading module 212. In this embodiment, clamping the pallet by the first clamping jaw 2131 ensures that the pallet does not fall during transfer.

[0078] It can be understood that the third driving member 2132 can be selected as a linear driving structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and there is no specific restriction on this in this embodiment, while the fourth driving member 2133 can be selected as a KK module or a linear driving structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and there is no specific restriction on this in this embodiment.

[0079] In addition to the first clamping jaw 2131, the third driving member 2132 and the fourth driving member 2133, the tray transfer module 213 also includes a first mounting plate 2134, a second mounting plate 2135 and a spring 2137. The first clamping jaw 2131 is installed on the first mounting plate 2134, the second mounting plate 2135 is arranged above the first mounting plate 2134, the third driving member 2132 is installed on the second mounting plate 2135, and the fourth driving member 2133 can drive the second mounting plate 2135 to move along the arrangement direction of the tray loading module 211 and the tray unloading module 212. A guide rod 21351 is passed through the second mounting plate 2135, and the guide rod 21351 extends in the vertical direction. The first mounting plate 2134 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide rod 21351. A third mounting plate 2136 is installed at the upper end of 21351, and a limiting pin 21361 is installed on the side of the third mounting plate 2136 facing the second mounting plate 2135. The limiting pin 21361 can abut against the second mounting plate 2135 when the third driving member 2132 drives the first clamping jaw 2131 to move downward in the vertical direction, thereby limiting the stroke of the first clamping jaw 2131, and thus ensuring that the first clamping jaw 2131 can accurately clamp the pallet on the first support plate 2111. The guide rod 21351 can provide a guiding effect for the movement of the first clamping jaw 2131. The spring 2137 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide rod 21351 and abuts between the second mounting plate 2135 and the third mounting plate 2136, thereby preventing the limiting pin 21361 from damaging the second mounting plate 2135.

[0080] Preferably, the first transport module 220 in this embodiment includes a first suction cup 221, a fifth drive member 222 and a sixth drive member 223. The first suction cup 221 is configured to suck or release the glass sheet, the fifth drive member 222 is configured to drive the first suction cup 221 to move in the vertical direction, and the sixth drive member 223 is configured to drive the first suction cup 221 to move between the pallet transfer mechanism 210 and the cache platform 230, so that the first suction cup 221 can clamp the glass sheet in the pallet carried on the second pallet 2121 and transfer the glass sheet to the cache platform 230.

[0081] It is understandable that the fifth driving member 222 and the sixth driving member 223 can both be selected as linear driving structures such as KK modules, cylinders, or electric cylinders, and there is no specific limitation on this in this embodiment.

[0082] It should be noted that the first conveying module 220 in this embodiment includes more than two first suction cups 221, so that more than two glass sheets can be conveyed to the buffer platform 230 at one time, thereby further improving the working efficiency of the glass sheet loading system, and further improving the production efficiency of the mobile phone back cover.

[0083] Furthermore, the glass sheet loading system in this embodiment also includes a visual inspection mechanism 500, which can obtain an image of the surface of the glass sheet transported by the first transport module 300. Specifically, the visual inspection mechanism 500 includes a camera (not shown in the figure) and a light source (not shown in the figure). The first transport module 300 can make the surface of the glass sheet transported by it face the camera so that the camera can obtain an image of the surface of the glass sheet, thereby positioning the glass sheet transported by the first transport module 300 to ensure that the outer edges of the multiple glass sheets stacked in the loading jig 110 are aligned, and all the through holes on one of the glass sheets can correspond one-to-one with all the through holes on another glass sheet, thereby ensuring that the second transport module 400 can insert the pin 112 into the multiple glass sheets.

[0084] In addition, the visual inspection mechanism 500 can also scan the identification code on the glass sheet transported by the first transport module 300, that is, the camera also has a code scanning function, so that it can identify whether the glass sheet transported by the first transport module 300 is good or defective. The glass sheet loading system also includes a second conveyor line 600. The first transport module 300 can place the glass sheets that are defective after scanning on the second conveyor line 600, thereby unloading the defective glass sheets, and the good glass sheets are stacked by the first transport module 300 into the loading fixture 110, thereby ensuring that all the glass sheets sent to the processing station are good.

[0085] It should be noted that, since the specific structures and working principles of the camera and the light source are all existing technologies, they will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0086] Based on the content mentioned above, in order to insert the pin 112 into the multiple glass sheets stacked in the loading jig 110, the second conveying module 400 in this embodiment includes a second conveying module 410 and a second clamp 420. The second clamp 420 is configured to clamp or release the pin 112. The second conveying module 410 is configured to move the second clamp 420 and align the pin 112 clamped by the second clamp 420 with the socket of the stack, so as to accurately insert the pin 112 into the socket.

[0087] In addition, the first conveying module 300 includes a second suction cup 310 and a third conveying module 320.
