[0053] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a rapid loading method for devices is provided, which can switch between different states (a first state and a second state) to enable rapid transfer of different devices to be loaded. The devices to be loaded can be a first device to be loaded 7 and a second device to be loaded 8. The first device to be loaded 7 can be, for example, an outlet electrical box of an air conditioner, and the second device to be loaded 8 can be, for example, a home appliance electrical box of an air conditioner. It is understood that the devices to be loaded can also be other electrical boxes, electrical boards, etc.

[0055] The rapid loading method of the present invention can, within a limited space, utilize two driving elements with the same stroke (e.g., the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5) to make different pushing elements (e.g., the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3) abut against the concave and flat surfaces of the device to be loaded, and then use the adsorption element 6 for adsorption. That is, the pushing element applies a downward pushing force to the device to be loaded, and the adsorption element 6 applies an upward suction force to the device to be loaded, thereby ensuring the stability of the device to be loaded during the loading and transfer process; at the same time, because the displacement of the two pushing elements is different (e.g., the displacement of the first pushing element 2 is... h 2. The displacement of the second jacking element 3 is h 1) Therefore, it can move to engage with the contact surfaces of different devices to be loaded, thereby enabling the transfer of different loading devices (e.g., Figure 5 The first device to be loaded, 7, is shown. Figure 9 The second device to be loaded (8) shown can be used to switch the different states of the pusher element with one click, thereby easily and quickly transferring different devices to be loaded.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, according to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a rapid loading device for a device, comprising a transfer element 1, a first pushing element 2, a second pushing element 3, an adsorption element 6, a first driving element 4, and a second driving element 5. The first pushing element 2 is connected to the first driving element 4, which can drive the first pushing element 2 to move upward or downward, thereby abutting against the first device to be loaded 7 or the second device to be loaded 8. The second pushing element 3 is connected to the second driving element 5, which can drive the second pushing element 3 to move upward or downward, thereby abutting against the first device to be loaded 7 or the second device to be loaded 8. The adsorption element 6 is used to adsorb onto the first device to be loaded 7 or the second device to be loaded 8. When the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 abut against the first loading device 7 or the second loading device 8, the adsorption element 6 adsorbs onto the first loading device 7 or the second loading device 8, and the transfer element 1 can drive it to transfer, thereby transferring the first loading device 7 or the second loading device 8 to a designated position (e.g., on a tooling fixture).

[0057] The first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 can, on the one hand, abut against the first loading device 7 or the second loading device 8 to apply downward pressure to it; on the other hand, the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 can switch between a first state and a second state, so as to cooperate with the first loading device 7 or the second loading device 8.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 3aAs shown, in the first state, the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 is flush with the adsorption surface of the adsorption element 6, and the bottom end of the second pushing element 3 has a first height difference with the adsorption surface of the adsorption element 6. h 1. That is to say, there is a first height difference between the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 and the bottom end of the second pushing element 3. h 1. Since the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 have the same length, it can be understood that there is a first height difference between the top end of the first pushing element 2 and the top end of the second pushing element 3. h 1. That is, the position of the second pushing element 3 is higher than the position of the first pushing element 2.

[0059] Please combine Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first component to be loaded, 7, is the outlet electrical box of an air conditioner, which has surfaces that are not on the same plane. For example, the concave surface 71 of the first component to be loaded is a downwardly recessed surface, and there is a height difference between it and the flat surface 72 of the first component to be loaded. h 1. When adsorbing the first device to be loaded 7, one of the surfaces (which can also be concave) on the same horizontal plane as the concave surface 71 of the first device to be loaded is selected as the adsorption surface 73 of the first device to be loaded, so that the adsorption element 6 can adsorb it. Therefore, the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 need to have the same height difference. h Only when the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 abuts against the concave surface 71 of the first device to be loaded, and the bottom end of the second pushing element 3 abuts against the flat surface 72 of the first device to be loaded, can the loading and transfer of the first device to be loaded 7 be facilitated.

[0060] Therefore, it can be understood that when the first pusher element 2 and the second pusher element 3 are in the first state, they are in a state that can match the first material-to-feed device 7.

[0061] like Figure 3b As shown, in the second state, the bottom end of the second pushing element 3 is flush with the adsorption surface of the adsorption element 6, and the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 and the adsorption surface of the adsorption element 6 have a second height difference. h 2. That is to say, there is a first height difference between the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 and the bottom end of the second pushing element 3. h 2.

[0062] Please combine Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The second component to be loaded, 8, is a home appliance box, which also has surfaces that are not on the same plane. For example, the concave surface 81 of the second component to be loaded is a downwardly recessed surface, and there is a height difference between it and the flat surface 82 of the second component to be loaded. h2. When adsorbing the second device to be loaded 8, one of the surfaces (or any plane) on the same horizontal plane as the plane 82 of the second device to be loaded is selected as the adsorption surface 83 of the second device to be loaded, so that the adsorption element 6 can adsorb it. Therefore, the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 need to have the same height difference. h Only when the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 abuts against the concave surface 81 of the second device to be loaded, and the bottom end of the second pushing element 3 abuts against the flat surface 82 of the second device to be loaded, can the second device to be loaded be easily loaded and transferred.

[0063] The key point of this invention is that when the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 are in the first state, they can quickly switch to the second state, thereby facilitating the loading and transfer of the second device to be loaded 8; or when the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 are in the second state, they can quickly switch to the first state, thereby facilitating the loading and transfer of the first device to be loaded 7.

[0064] However, due to space constraints, the first drive element 4 controlling the first pushing element 2 and the second drive element 5 controlling the second pushing element 3 have the same stroke (both have the same stroke). h 2) Therefore, when switching the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 from the first state to the second state, or from the second state to the first state, it is impossible to make the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 have different displacements through the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5. Therefore, this invention limits the displacement of the second pushing element 3 by providing a limiting element on the second pushing element 3, so that when the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5 push out or pull back the same distance, the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 move different displacements, thereby enabling them to cooperate with different surfaces on different feeding devices.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, a first fixed plate 41 is connected to the first driving element 4, and a second fixed plate 51 is connected to the second driving element 5. The first pushing element 2 passes through the first fixed plate 41 and is connected to the first fastener 21 at the upper end of the first fixed plate 41. Therefore, when the first driving element 4 is pushed out, it can drive the first fixed plate 41 and the first pushing element 2 to move upward; when the first driving element 4 is pulled back, it can drive the first fixed plate 41 and the first pushing element 2 to move downward.

[0066] Similar to the first pushing element 2, the second pushing element 3 passes through the second fixed plate 51 and is connected to the second fastener 31 at the upper end of the second fixed plate 51. Therefore, when the second driving element 5 is pushed out, it can drive the second fixed plate 51 and the second pushing element 3 to move upward. When the second driving element 5 is pulled back, it can drive the second fixed plate 51 and the second pushing element 3 to move downward. However, unlike the first pushing element 2, the second pushing element 3 is also provided with a limiting element 32, and the limiting element 32 is located below the second fixed plate 51. Therefore, the limiting element 32 is actually used to limit the amount of downward displacement of the second pushing element 3.

[0067] like Figure 3a As shown, in the first state, the distance between the second fixing plate 51 and the limiting element 32 is... h 1, such as Figure 3b As shown, in the second state, the distance between the second fixing plate 51 and the limiting element 32 is 0, that is, the second fixing plate 51 is in contact with the limiting element 32.

[0068] Therefore, in the first state, the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 is flush with the adsorption surface of the adsorption element 6, and both are lower than the bottom end of the second pushing element 3, that is, there is a first height difference between the bottom ends of the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3. h 1. When transitioning from the first state to the second state, the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5 are simultaneously pulled back, meaning that the stroke of both is [missing information]. h 2. Therefore, the first pushing element 2 is driven by the first driving element 4 to move downward. h 2. However, when the second pushing element 3 moves downwards driven by the second driving element 5, it is restricted by the limiting element 32. That is, the second pushing element 3 can only move until the second fixed plate 51 contacts the limiting element 32. Since the distance between the second fixed plate 51 and the limiting element 32 is... h 1. Therefore, it can be understood that the displacement of the second jacking element 3 is... h 1, which is the second state.

[0069] Conversely, when transitioning from the second state to the first state, the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5 are simultaneously deployed, and their strokes are both the same. h 2. Therefore, the first pushing element 2 is driven by the first driving element 4 to move upward. h 2. When the second pushing element 3 is driven upward by the second driving element 5, it can only move upward as well. h1. This is because, although the second pushing element 3 is not equipped with a limiting element to restrict its upward movement when driven upward by the second driving element 5, due to the limitation of the zero position of the second driving element 5 itself, it can only return to the zero position before the push-out when pulled back. That is, the displacement that causes the second pushing element 3 to move downward and upward during pull-back is the same as that during push-out. h 1. In other words, the downward displacement of the second pushing element 3 is limited by the limiting element 32, while the upward displacement of the second pushing element 3 is limited by the zero position of the second driving element 5 itself.

[0070] Therefore, by setting the limiting element 32, the present invention can easily switch between the first state and the second state, thereby enabling it to work with different devices to be loaded. Thus, without the need for a complex mechanical structure, the requirement of transferring different devices to be loaded can be achieved within a limited space.

[0071] like Figure 3a and Figure 6 As shown, in the first state, the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 is flush with the adsorption surface of the adsorption element 6, and there is a first height difference between the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 and the bottom end of the second pushing element 3. h 1. The concave surface 71 and the adsorption surface 73 of the first device to be loaded 7 are located on the same plane, and there is also a first height difference between the concave surface 71 and the plane 72 of the first device to be loaded. h 1. That is, the plane 72 of the first device to be loaded is higher than the concave surface 71 and the adsorption surface 73 of the first device to be loaded.

[0072] Therefore, since the bottom end of the second pushing element 3 is higher than the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 and the adsorption surface of the adsorption element 6... h 1. Then the bottom end of the second pushing element 3 can abut against the plane 72 of the first material-to-be-loaded device, and the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 can abut against the concave surface 71 of the first material-to-be-loaded device. At this time, the air source connected to the adsorption element 6 can be activated, and the adsorption element 6 can adsorb onto the adsorption surface 73 of the first material-to-be-loaded device.

[0073] At this time, the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 apply downward forces to the concave surface 71 and the flat surface 72 of the first device to be loaded, respectively, while the adsorption element 6 applies upward forces to the adsorption surface 73 of the first device to be loaded. Therefore, the horizontality, stability and consistency of the loading and transfer of the first device to be loaded 7 during the loading and transfer process can be guaranteed.

[0074] After the first device 7 to be loaded is transferred, if it is necessary to transfer the second device 8 to be loaded, the system can be switched to the second state. For example... Figure 3b and 8 As shown, in the second state, the bottom end of the second pushing element 3 is flush with the adsorption surface of the adsorption element 6, and there is a first height difference between the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 and the bottom end of the second pushing element 3. h 2. The plane 82 and the adsorption surface 83 of the second device to be loaded are located on the same plane, and the concave surface 81 and the plane 82 of the second device to be loaded also have a first height difference. h 2, that is, the concave surface 81 of the second device to be fed is lower than the flat surface 82 of the second device to be fed and the adsorption surface 83 of the second device to be fed.

[0075] Therefore, since the bottom end of the second pushing element 3 and the adsorption surface of the adsorption element 6 are both higher than the bottom end of the first pushing element 2. h 2. Then the bottom end of the second pushing element 3 can abut against the plane 82 of the second material-to-be-loaded device, and the bottom end of the first pushing element 2 can abut against the concave surface 81 of the second material-to-be-loaded device. At this time, the air source connected to the adsorption element 6 can be activated, and the adsorption element 6 can adsorb onto the adsorption surface 83 of the second material-to-be-loaded device.

[0076] At this time, the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 apply downward force to the concave surface 81 and the flat surface 82 of the second device to be loaded, respectively, while the adsorption element 6 applies upward force to the adsorption surface 83 of the second device to be loaded. Therefore, the horizontality, stability and consistency of the second device to be loaded 8 during the loading and transfer process can be guaranteed.

[0077] Therefore, the present invention selects the surface (i.e. the surface to be adsorbed) on the first loading device 7 or the second loading device 8 that can be adsorbed by the adsorption element 6, and two supporting surfaces for the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 to abut against, so that the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 can apply a downward force to the first loading device 7 or the second loading device 8 to ensure the horizontality and the smoothness and consistency of the transfer of the first loading device 7 or the second loading device 8.

[0078] Taking the first component to be loaded, 7, as the outlet electrical box of the air conditioner, and the second component to be loaded, 8, as the home appliance electrical box of the air conditioner, as an example... h 1 is 2.3mm. h 2 is 5mm, that is h 1 < h 2. Both the first drive element 4 and the first drive element 5 are cylinders with a stroke of 5 mm.

[0079] It should be noted that both the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5 are small cylinders with small strokes and pressures. Therefore, when the displacement of the second pushing element 3 is limited by the limiting element 32, it will not affect the second driving element 5.

[0080] The limiting element 32 can be a mechanical limiting screw or a limiting nut. When the second fixing plate 51 contacts it, it is the limit position for the downward movement of the second pushing element 3.

[0081] Furthermore, such as Figure 3a As shown, the first pushing element 2 passes through the first fixing plate 41 and is connected to the first fastener 21 above the first fixing plate 41. The second pushing element 3 passes through the second fixing plate 51 and is connected to the second fastener 31 above the second fixing plate 51.

[0082] The first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the connecting plate 9. The output side of the first driving element 4 is connected to the first fixing plate 41, and the output side of the second driving element 5 is connected to the second fixing plate 51.

[0083] The first pushing element 2 penetrates the connecting plate 9 along the thickness direction and is located near the first driving element 4. The second pushing element 3 penetrates the connecting plate 9 along the thickness direction and is located near the second driving element 5.

[0084] The number of the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 can be two or more, for example, Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the two first pushing elements 2 and the two second pushing elements 3 are located at the four corners of the connecting plate 9, respectively. The adsorption element 6 is located between them.

[0085] Therefore, when the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5 are pushed out at the same time, the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5 drive the first fixed plate 41 and the second fixed plate 51 to move upward. Since the first fixed plate 41 is provided with a first fastener 21 connected to the first pushing element 2, and the second fixed plate 51 is provided with a second fastener 31 connected to the second pushing element 3, the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 can be driven to move upward respectively.

[0086] Conversely, when the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5 are pulled back simultaneously, the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5 drive the first fixed plate 41 and the second fixed plate 51 to move downward. Since the lower part of the first fixed plate 41 and the second fixed plate 51 is not connected to the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3, when the first fixed plate 41 and the second fixed plate 51 move downward, the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 will fall downward until the first fastener 21 and the second fastener 31 fall on the first fixed plate 41 and the second fixed plate 51.

[0087] The adsorption element 6 includes a connecting pipe 61 that penetrates the connecting plate 9. The upper end of the connecting pipe 61 is connected to the air source, and the lower end is connected to the corrugated suction cup 62 with an adsorption surface. Therefore, the adsorption surface of the corrugated suction cup 62 can be connected to the adsorption surface 73 of the first device to be loaded or the adsorption surface 83 of the second device to be loaded.

[0088] At the middle position of the connecting plate 9, a clamp 11 of the transfer element 1 is connected by a support column. The transfer element 1 can transfer the connecting plate 9 and the concave surface 71 of the first device to be loaded or the second device to be loaded 8 adsorbed on it to the designated position.

[0089] The transfer element 1 can be, for example, a robot, a robotic arm, or a robotic hand. More specifically, it can be, for example, a four-axis robot. Four-axis robots are particularly suitable for pick-and-place operations, improving the flexibility of production movements. The first two joints of a four-axis robot can rotate freely left and right in the horizontal plane, and the third joint consists of a metal rod called a quill and a gripper 11. This metal rod can move up and down in the vertical plane or rotate about its vertical axis, but cannot tilt. The structure of a four-axis robot is similar to that of a human arm, with multiple rotational degrees of freedom similar to the rotation of a human arm at the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints, while the end effector "hand" can move up and down.

[0090] The following is combined with Figures 1-9 The rapid feeding method of the present invention will be explained in detail below.

[0091] Upon first use, the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 need to be adjusted so that the top (bottom) of the second pushing element 3 is higher than the top (bottom) of the first pushing element 2. h 1, that is, the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 are in the first state.

[0092] in, h 1 (and) h 2) The height difference between the surfaces of the devices to be fed can be determined as needed.

[0093] like Figure 3a and Figure 6As shown, the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 are in the first state, and can directly transfer the first device to be loaded 7. That is, the transfer element 1 drives the connecting plate 9 and the first pushing element 2, the second pushing element 3 and the adsorption element 6 on it to move above the first device to be loaded 7. The first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 abut against the concave surface 71 and the flat surface 72 of the first device to be loaded on the first device to be loaded 7, and the adsorption element 6 adsorbs onto the adsorption surface 73 of the first device to be loaded, so that the first device to be loaded 7 is horizontally and stably adsorbed. At this time, the transfer element 1 drives the connecting plate 9 and the first pushing element 2, the second pushing element 3 and the adsorption element 6 on it to move again, so that the first device to be loaded 7 can be placed in the designated position.

[0094] After the first device 7 to be loaded is transferred, if it is necessary to transfer the second device 8 to be loaded, the first state is changed to the second state.

[0095] Specifically, when the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5 act simultaneously, the first driving element 4 pulls back, which in turn pulls the first fixed plate 41 downward. h 2. The first pushing element 2 and the first fastener 21 move downwards until the first fastener 21 falls to the upper end of the first fixed plate 41, that is, the first pushing element 2 moves downwards. h 2.

[0096] When the second driving element 5 is pulled back, it pulls the second fixed plate 51 downward. The second fixed plate 51 stops moving when it contacts the limiting element 32, that is, the second fixed plate 51 moves downward. h 1. The second pushing element 3 and the second fastener 31 move downwards until the second fastener 31 falls to the upper end of the second fixed plate 51, that is, the second pushing element 3 moves downwards. h 1.

[0097] like Figure 3b and Figure 9 As shown, at this time, the first pushing element 2 moved downwards. h 2. Correspondingly, it can abut against the concave surface 81 of the second feeding device 8, and the second pushing element 3 moves downward. h 1. Its adsorption surface is located on the same horizontal plane as that of the adsorption element 6, so it can correspondingly abut against the plane 82 of the second device to be loaded. The adsorption element 6 is adsorbed on the adsorption surface 83 of the second device to be loaded, so that the second device to be loaded 8 is horizontally and stably adsorbed.

[0098] At this time, the transfer element 1 drives the connecting plate 9 and its first pushing element 2, second pushing element 3 and adsorption element 6 to move again, so that the second device to be loaded 8 can be placed in the designated position.

[0099] After the second device to be loaded 8 is transferred, if it is necessary to transfer the first device to be loaded 7, the second state will be converted back to the first state.

[0100] Specifically, the first driving element 4 and the second driving element 5 operate simultaneously. When the first driving element 4 extends, it pushes the first fixed plate 41, the first pushing element 2, and the first fastener 21 to move upwards together. h 2.

[0101] When the second driving element 5 is extended, it pushes the second fixed plate 51, the second pushing element 3, and the second fastener 31 to move upward together. Due to the limitation of the zero position of the second driving element 5 itself, the second fixed plate 51, the second pushing element 3, and the second fastener 31 can only move upward. h 1.

[0102] At this point, the first pushing element 2 moves upward. h 1. Its adsorption surface is located on the same horizontal plane as the adsorption element 6, and it can correspondingly abut against the concave surface 71 of the first material-to-be-loaded device 7. The second pushing element 3 moves upward. h 1. It can be correspondingly abutted against the plane 72 of the first device to be loaded. The adsorption element 6 is adsorbed on the adsorption surface 73 of the first device to be loaded, so that the first device to be loaded 7 is horizontally and stably adsorbed.

[0103] Furthermore, when the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 are in the first state, the first device to be loaded 7 can be switched to the second state and the second device to be loaded 8 can be directly loaded instead of being transferred initially. The process of switching from the first state to the second state can refer to the steps described above, and will not be repeated here. In other words, although the first pushing element 2 and the second pushing element 3 are initially in the first state, the second device to be loaded can be directly loaded instead of the first device to be loaded 7 by adjustment.

[0104] Although the invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the technical features mentioned in the various embodiments can be combined in any manner as long as there is no structural conflict. The invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
