Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of machining tool manufacturing technology, and in particular to an integrated system for cleaning, printing and sorting. Background Technology

[0002] After the cutting tool completes the machining process, it needs to be cleaned by a cleaning module to remove metal shavings. After cleaning, it is then marked by a marking module, and finally sorted by a sorting module.

[0003] In related technologies, the cutting tools need to be transported on a carrier. The cleaning module, printing module, and sorting module are set up in different areas and are set up independently. When the carrier is transported between the cleaning module, printing module, and sorting module, it generally needs to be handled manually. The degree of automation is low, resulting in low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes an integrated system for cleaning, printing, and sorting, which integrates a pretreatment module, a cleaning module, a printing module, and a sorting module, and enables automatic transport of trays between the aforementioned modules.

[0005] The integrated cleaning, printing, and sorting system according to an embodiment of this application includes: a pretreatment module, a cleaning module, a printing module, a sorting module, and a tray transfer module. The pretreatment module is used to pre-treat the cutting tools on the tray. The cleaning module is used to perform deep cleaning on the pre-treated cutting tools; the printing module is used to print characters on the cleaned cutting tools; the sorting module is used to sort the printed cutting tools; and the tray transfer module is used to transfer the cleaned cutting tools from the cleaning module to the printing module, and to transfer the printed cutting tools from the printing module to the sorting module.

[0006] The integrated cleaning, printing, and sorting system according to embodiments of this application has at least the following beneficial effects: The integrated cleaning, printing, and sorting system integrates a pre-treatment module, a cleaning module, a printing module, and a sorting module. Through a tray transfer module, the cleaned cutting tools are automatically transferred to the printing module, and the printed cutting tools are automatically transferred to the sorting module, achieving automated tray transfer and improving cutting tool production efficiency. Furthermore, by first pre-treating the cutting tools on the tray through the pre-treatment module and then deeply cleaning them through the cleaning module, the cleaning effect on the cutting tools is improved.

[0007] Additional aspects and advantages of this application will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of this application. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Reference Figure 1 The integrated cleaning, printing and sorting system according to an embodiment of this application includes: a pre-processing module 1000a, a cleaning module 1000, a printing module 3000, a sorting module 4000 and a tray transfer module 2000.

[0041] The pretreatment module 1000a is used to pre-treat the cutting tools 2410 on the material tray 2400 to remove large-volume deposits, such as some metal shavings generated during processing. The cleaning module 1000 is used to deeply clean the pre-treated cutting tools 2410 to make the surface of the cutting tools 2410 smooth and free of impurities, so as to ensure the quality of subsequent printing on the cutting tools 2410. In some embodiments, the cutting tools 2410 can be further cleaned by spraying cleaning agents, ultrasonic waves, etc. The printing module 3000 is used to print on the cleaned cutting tools 2410. The sorting module 4000 is used to sort the printed cutting tools 2410. The material tray transfer module 2000 is used to transfer the cleaning tools 2410 from the cleaning module 1000 to the printing module 3000, and to transfer the printed cutting tools 2410 from the printing module 3000 to the sorting module 4000.

[0042] Understandably, the pretreatment module 1000a removes large particles of waste attached to the cutter 2410 or stuck between adjacent cutters 2410, ensuring that the cutters 2410 loaded on the tray 2400 will not be incompletely cleaned during deep cleaning due to the surface of the cutters 2410 being blocked.

[0043] In this embodiment, the printing module 3000 is located beside the conveying path of the tray transfer module 2000. After cleaning, the cutting tool 2410 enters the tray transfer module 2000. The tray transfer module 2000 transports the tray 2400 towards the sorting module 4000. Before the tray 2400 is transported to the sorting module 4000, the printing module 3000 can print characters on the cutting tool 2410 on the tray 2400. The tray transfer module 2000 transports the tray 2400 containing the printed cutting tool 2410 to the sorting module 4000. The sorting module 4000 sorts the printed cutting tool 2410.

[0044] Understandably, by connecting the pre-processing module 1000a, the printing module 3000, and the sorting module 4000 through the material tray transfer module 2000, the material tray 2400 can be automatically transferred between the pre-processing module 1000a, the printing module 3000, and the sorting module 4000, so as to automatically transfer the cleaned cutting tool 2410 to the printing module 3000 and the printed cutting tool 2410 to the sorting module 4000, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0045] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 10After deep cleaning at the cleaning module 1000, the cutting tool 2410 is returned to the pre-treatment module 1000a. The pre-treatment module 1000a is connected to the tray transfer module 2000, and the cleaned cutting tool 2410 is transported from the pre-treatment module 1000a to the tray transfer module 2000. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pre-treatment module 1000a includes an oiling mechanism 1200, a framing mechanism 1300, a pushing mechanism 1400, and a receiving mechanism 1800. The framing mechanism 1300 includes a tray 1320. The pushing mechanism 1400 is used to push the tray 2400 at the oiling mechanism 1200 onto the tray 1320 and push the tray 2400 on the tray 1320 out to the receiving mechanism 1800.

[0046] The oiling mechanism 1200 is used to oil the cutters 2410 inside the feed tray 2400 to remove large particles of waste material adhering to the cutters 2410 or stuck between adjacent cutters 2410. In some embodiments, refer to... Figures 2 to 5 The oiling mechanism 1200 includes a brush 1210, a brush drive assembly, an oiling support 1240, and an oil storage structure 1250. The outlet of the oiling support 1240 is connected to the inlet of the framing mechanism 1300. The oiling support 1240 is used to support the tray 2400 carrying the blade 2410. The oil storage structure 1250 is used to store cleaning oil. The brush drive assembly drives the brush 1210 to move the brush 1210 close to the oil storage structure 1250 or the oiling support 1240, so that the brush 1210 can pick up the cleaning oil in the oil storage structure 1250 or move close to the tray 2400 on the oiling support 1240 to brush the blade 2410 on the tray 2400.

[0047] Specifically, to prevent cleaning oil from accumulating on the brush support 1240, in this embodiment, the brush support 1240 includes at least two brush rods, with a gap between the brush rods for the cleaning oil to flow out. In other embodiments, the brush support 1240 may also be a brush plate with a perforated structure for the cleaning oil to flow out.

[0048] Understandably, the brush drive assembly drives the brush 1210 close to the oil storage structure 1250, allowing the brush 1210 to pick up the cleaning oil within the oil storage structure 1250. Then, the brush 1210 is driven close to the oil brush support 1240, enabling it to brush the cutters 2410 on the tray 2400 with oil. The brush 1210 can remove some metal shavings from the cutters 2410 and coat them with cleaning oil, achieving pretreatment. Furthermore, through brushing, the brush 1210 can enter the gap between two adjacent cutters 2410, brushing away the metal shavings within the gap. The oil storage structure 1250 can be an oil reservoir.

[0049] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The framing mechanism 1300 is located between the oiling mechanism 1200 and the receiving mechanism 1800. The material frame 1320 on the framing mechanism 1300 can be transferred between the framing mechanism 1300 and the cleaning module 1000. The material frame 1320 is used to carry the material tray 2400.

[0050] In this embodiment, after the cutter 2410 completes pretreatment at the oiling mechanism 1200, the pushing mechanism 1400 pushes the material tray 2400 on the oiling support 1240 into the material frame 1320 of the framing mechanism 1300, completing the framing of the material tray 2400. It should be noted that the material frame 1320 can hold multiple material trays 2400. Through the framing action, multiple material trays 2400 are carried in the material frame 1320, so as to facilitate the one-time transfer of multiple material trays 2400. Then, the material frame 1320 is transferred to the cleaning module 1000 for deep cleaning. After deep cleaning, the material frame 1320 in the cleaning module 1000 is transferred back to the framing mechanism 1300. At this time, the pushing mechanism 1400 works on the next batch of material trays 2400 on the oil brushing support 1240, and the next batch of material trays 2400 is pushed into the material frame 1320 of the framing mechanism 1300, pushing the deep-cleaned material trays 2400 in the material frame 1320 to the receiving mechanism 1800. The discharge port of the receiving mechanism 1800 is connected to the inlet of the material tray transfer module 2000. In some embodiments, the material trays 2400 are transferred between the receiving mechanism 1800 and the material tray transfer module 2000 by a robotic arm.

[0051] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The cleaning module 1000 includes a material frame transport mechanism, an oil-slinging mechanism 1000b, and a cleaning mechanism 1000c. The material frame transport mechanism is used to transport the material frame 1320 at the framing mechanism 1300 sequentially to the oil-slinging mechanism 1000b, the cleaning mechanism 1000c, and to return the material frame 1320 to the framing mechanism 1300.

[0052] The material frame handling mechanism includes a lifting mechanism 1700 and a circulating conveyor line 1900. The lifting mechanism 1700 is used to transfer the material frames 1320 on the framing mechanism 1300 to the circulating conveyor line 1900. It should be understood that the circulating conveyor line 1900 is connected end to end, and the circulating conveyor line 1900 sequentially connects the framing mechanism 1300, the oil-throwing mechanism 1000b, and the cleaning mechanism 1000c. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 1700 is located beside the framing mechanism 1300. The lifting mechanism 1700 is used to place the material frames 1320 in the framing mechanism 1300 onto the circulating conveyor line 1900, or to place the material frames 1320 on the circulating conveyor line 1900 back into the framing mechanism 1300. The circulating conveyor line 1900 sequentially transmits the material frames 1320 to the oil-throwing mechanism 1000b and the cleaning mechanism 1000c. It should be noted that in other embodiments, a lifting mechanism 1700 or a robot arm can also be provided at the positions of the oil-slinging mechanism 1000b and the cleaning mechanism 1000c, so that the material tray 2400 can be transferred between the circulating conveyor line 1900 and the oil-slinging mechanism 1000b / cleaning mechanism 1000c by the lifting mechanism 1700 or the robot arm.

[0053] After the framing mechanism 1300 completes the framing, the material frame transport mechanism sequentially transports the material frame 1320 to the oil-slinging mechanism 1000b and the cleaning mechanism 1000c. The oil-slinging mechanism 1000b is used to sling oil off the cutting tool 2410. The cleaning mechanism 1000c is used to deeply clean the cutting tool 2410, such as by spraying cleaning agent or using ultrasonic waves. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 1000c is a subsequent processing unit after the oil-slinging mechanism 1000b, used to clean the cutting tool 2410 after oil slinging. It should be understood that after the cleaning mechanism 1000c completes the cleaning, the material frame transport mechanism transports the material frame 1320 back to the framing mechanism 1300.

[0054] After the material frame 1320 returns to the framing mechanism 1300, in this embodiment, the pushing mechanism 1400 pushes the next batch of oiled trays 2400 from the oiling support 1240 into the material frame 1320. Since the oiling mechanism 1200, the framing mechanism 1300, and the receiving mechanism 1800 are arranged along the pushing direction of the pushing mechanism 1400, the next batch of trays 2400 can push the cleaned trays 2400 in the material frame 1320 to the receiving mechanism 1800. In other embodiments, the cleaned trays 2400 in the material frame 1320 can be transferred to the receiving mechanism 1800 first, and after the trays 2400 in the material frame 1320 are emptied, the pushing mechanism 1400 pushes the next batch of trays 2400 into the material frame 1320.

[0055] After the tray 2400 carrying the cleaned cutting tool 2410 is pushed to the receiving mechanism 1800, the outlet of the receiving mechanism 1800 is connected to the inlet of the tray transfer module 2000, which can transport the tray 2400 to the tray transfer module 2000. Specifically, the receiving mechanism 1800 includes a receiving support 1830 and a connecting conveyor line 1600. The receiving support 1830 is used to receive the tray 2400 pushed out from the material frame 1320. The outlet of the connecting conveyor line 1600 is connected to the inlet of the tray transfer module 2000. The tray 2400 at the receiving support 1830 is transported to the connecting conveyor line 1600 by a belt assembly or a robot, and then the tray 2400 is transported to the tray transfer module 2000 by the connecting conveyor line 1600.

[0056] Therefore, the pretreatment module 1000a can brush away some of the metal shavings on the cutting tool 2410 through the brush 1210 of the brushing mechanism 1200, thereby pre-treating the cutting tool 2410 and improving the cleaning effect of the cutting tool 2410. Furthermore, the brush 1210 can clean the metal shavings in the gaps between adjacent cutting tools 2410, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0057] It should also be understood that the material frame 1320 can carry multiple material trays 2400. Thus, in conjunction with the material frame conveying mechanism, the transfer of multiple material trays 2400 can be realized to improve the handling efficiency and the cleaning efficiency of the tool 2410.

[0058] Furthermore, the cutting tool 2410 is further cleaned by transferring the material frame 1320 to the oil-throwing mechanism 1000b and the cleaning mechanism 1000c.

[0059] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 According to some embodiments of this application, the brush driving assembly includes a first brush driving assembly 1220 and a second brush driving assembly 1230. The first brush driving assembly 1220 is used to drive the brush 1210 to move along the height direction, and the second brush driving assembly 1230 is used to drive the brush 1210 to move along the fourth direction. The brush oil support 1240 and the oil storage structure 1250 are distributed along the fourth direction. The brush oil mechanism 1200, the frame mounting mechanism 1300 and the material receiving mechanism 1800 are distributed sequentially along the third direction.

[0060] Understandably, the brush 1210 is moved above the oil storage structure 1250 by the second brush drive assembly 1230, and then the brush 1210 is brought into the oil storage structure 1250 by the first brush drive assembly 1220, so that the brush 1210 is coated with cleaning oil. Then, the brush 1210 moves along the fourth direction by the second brush drive assembly 1230. Since the brush support 1240 and the oil storage structure 1250 are distributed along the fourth direction, the brush 1210 will brush over the cutter 2410 on the material tray 2400 at the brush support 1240. The brush 1210 can brush away some of the metal shavings on the cutter 2410, thus achieving pretreatment.

[0061] It is understandable that the painting mechanism 1200, the framing mechanism 1300 and the receiving mechanism 1800 are distributed in sequence along the third direction, and the pushing mechanism 1400 pushes in the third direction. The pushing mechanism 1400 can push the material tray 2400 on the painting support 1240 into the material frame 1320 in one go, and push the material tray 2400 on the material frame 1320 onto the receiving mechanism 1800, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of the material tray 2400.

[0062] Furthermore, the oil brushing support 1240 and the oil storage structure 1250 are distributed along the fourth direction; the oil brushing mechanism 1200, the framing mechanism 1300 and the receiving mechanism 1800 are distributed sequentially along the third direction, which is compact and reduces the space occupied by the pre-processing module 1000a of this application.

[0063] Specifically, both the first brush drive assembly 1220 and the second brush drive assembly 1230 mentioned above use linear servo motors.

[0064] Specifically, the brush 1210 includes multiple brushes. Oiling support members 1240 extend along a third direction, and multiple material trays 2400 can be placed on one set of oiling support members 1240 along the third direction. At least two sets of oiling support members 1240 are arranged along a fourth direction. This allows multiple material trays 2400 to be oiled simultaneously.

[0065] In order to facilitate pushing the material tray 2400 on the brushing support 1240 onto the material frame 1320, in this embodiment, the height of the bearing surface of the brushing support 1240 is higher than the bearing surface of the material frame 1320.

[0066] It is understandable that there is a certain gap between the oil brush support 1240 and the material frame 1320. Setting the height of the oil brush support 1240 higher can ensure that the material tray 2400 enters the material frame 1320.

[0067] Reference Figures 3 to 6According to some embodiments of this application, in this embodiment, the brushing mechanism 1200, the framing mechanism 1300, and the receiving mechanism 1800 are sequentially distributed along a third direction. The pushing mechanism 1400 includes a top plate 1410, a connecting plate 1420, and a pushing drive 1430. The connecting plate 1420 is located on the side of the brushing support 1240 away from the material frame 1320. The top plate 1410 is disposed on the side of the connecting plate 1420 close to the brushing mechanism 1200. The pushing drive 1430 drives the connecting plate 1420 to move the top plate 1410 along a third direction, so as to push the material tray 2400 on the brushing support 1240 onto the material frame 1320.

[0068] Understandably, after pre-processing by the tool 2410, the pushing mechanism 1400 pushes the material tray 2400 on the brushing support 1240 to the framing mechanism 1300. Specifically, the pushing drive 1430 drives the connecting plate 1420 to move towards the framing mechanism 1300, thereby pushing the material tray 2400 on the brushing support 1240 into the material frame 1320 of the framing mechanism 1300.

[0069] It should be understood that multiple top plate members 1410 can be provided on the connecting plate 1420, and then the connecting plate 1420 can drive the multiple top plate members 1410 to simultaneously push the material tray 2400, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the material tray 2400. Alternatively, the top plate members 1410 can simultaneously push multiple sets of material trays 2400. Furthermore, by using a top plate member 1410 with a longer length and a smaller diameter, the top plate member 1410 can enter the frame mounting mechanism 1300 without being obstructed by the frame 1320, ensuring that the material tray 2400 can be completely pushed onto the frame 1320.

[0070] Specifically, the top plate component 1410 is a top plate screw, and the connecting plate 1420 is a screw connecting plate.

[0071] Reference Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this application, the material frame 1320 has a tray inlet 1340 and a tray outlet 1350 on opposite sides. The tray inlet 1340 and the tray outlet 1350 of the material frame 1320 are both provided with opening and closing components 1370, which are used to open or close the tray inlet 1340 / tray outlet 1350.

[0072] Specifically, the opening and closing assembly 1370 includes a baffle 1371, an elastic element 1372, and a top column drive element 1373. The baffle 1371 is movably disposed on the material frame 1320 and is located at the material tray inlet 1340 or the material tray outlet 1350. The drive end of the top column drive element 1373 can be contacted and connected to the baffle 1371 to lift the baffle 1371, so that the baffle 1371 opens the material tray inlet 1340 / material tray outlet 1350.

[0073] It is understood that the material frame 1320 located at the framing mechanism 1300 has a tray inlet 1340 facing the side near the brushing mechanism 1200, and a tray outlet 1350 on the opposite side. It should be understood that the tray 2400 can be pushed into the material frame 1320 from the tray inlet 1340 by the brushing support member 1240 via the pushing mechanism 1400. It should be noted that, in order to prevent the tray 2400 from falling out of the tray inlet 1340 or the tray outlet 1350 during the handling of the material frame 1320, an opening and closing component 1370 is provided to open when the tray 2400 needs to enter or exit the tray inlet 1340 / tray outlet 1350, or to close the tray inlet 1340 / tray outlet 1350 when the material frame 1320 is being transferred.

[0074] Specifically, the baffle 1371 extends horizontally to completely close the tray inlet 1340 and tray outlet 1350. The top column drive 1373 drives the baffle 1371 to lift, thereby opening the tray inlet 1340 and tray outlet 1350, allowing the tray 2400 to enter or leave the material frame 1320. The top column drive 1373 is a cylinder.

[0075] It is understandable that the baffle 1371 is set on the material frame 1320, and the top column drive component 1373 is set independently. After the material frame 1320 leaves the frame loading mechanism 1300, the top column drive component 1373 remains at the frame loading mechanism 1300, making the material frame 1320 lighter.

[0076] To ensure that the baffle 1371 automatically resets after the tray inlet 1340 / tray outlet 1350 is opened: in this embodiment, refer to... Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this application, the opening and closing assembly 1370 further includes an elastic element 1372 and a fixing post 1374. The first end of the fixing post 1374 passes through the baffle 1371 and is connected to the material frame 1320. The elastic element 1372 is sleeved on the fixing post 1374 and is located between the second end of the fixing post 1374 and the upper end of the baffle 1371. The elastic element 1372 is used to give the baffle 1371 a downward force so that the baffle 1371 closes the material tray inlet 1340 / material tray outlet 1350.

[0077] It is understandable that one end of the elastic element 1372 abuts against the second end of the fixed column 1374, and the other end abuts against the upper end of the baffle 1371. When it is necessary to close the tray inlet 1340 / tray outlet 1350, the top column drive element 1373 unloads the supporting force on the baffle 1371. It should be understood that when the top column drive element 1373 lifts the baffle 1371, the elastic element 1372 will be compressed. After the top column drive element 1373 unloads the supporting force on the baffle 1371, the elastic element 1372 will be stretched. The elastic element 1372 gives the baffle 1371 a downward force. Under the elastic force of the elastic element 1372, the baffle 1371 will descend, closing the tray inlet 1340 / tray outlet 1350 again.

[0078] In this embodiment, in the fourth direction, the material frame 1320 can carry at least two sets of material trays 2400. In order to avoid the top column drive 1373 interfering with the material trays 2400 entering and leaving the material frame 1320, the top column drive 1373 is connected to the baffle 1371 through the top column, and the top column is located in the middle of the moving path of the two sets of material trays 2400.

[0079] In other embodiments, the baffle 1371 may also be lowered under the action of gravity to automatically close the tray inlet 1340 / tray outlet 1350.

[0080] Reference Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this application, the framing mechanism 1300 further includes a base plate 1310, which is used to support the material frame 1320. A plurality of positioning blocks 1311 are provided on the base plate 1310, which are provided at the corners of the material frame 1320 and are used to limit the material frame 1320.

[0081] Understandably, multiple positioning blocks 1311 can limit the material frame 1320. Specifically, the positioning blocks 1311 have an L-shaped structure and can limit the corners of the material frame 1320.

[0082] Reference Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this application, the framing mechanism 1300 further includes a clamping assembly 1360, which is disposed on the side of the material frame 1320. The clamping assembly 1360 includes a push block 1361 and a clamping drive member 1362. The clamping drive member 1362 drives the push block 1361 so that the push block 1361 abuts against the material frame 1320.

[0083] Understandably, the clamping assembly 1360 is used to clamp the material frame 1320 when the material tray 2400 enters or exits the material frame 1320, preventing the material frame 1320 from shifting when the pushing mechanism 1400 pushes the material tray 2400 to move, thus avoiding a collision between the material tray 2400 and the material frame 1320. Specifically, at least two clamping assemblies 1360 are arranged on opposite sides of the material frame 1320. The clamping drive 1362 pushes the push block 1361 toward the material frame 1320 and clamps the material frame 1320 to fix it. When the material frame 1320 needs to be transferred manually or by the lifting mechanism 1700, the clamping drive 1362 pulls the push block 1361 back, releasing the fixation of the material frame 1320.

[0084] Specifically, a clamping component 1360 is also provided on the side of the framing mechanism 1300 near the receiving mechanism 1800, that is, on the side of the material tray outlet 1350 of the material frame 1320. When the pushing mechanism 1400 pushes the material tray 2400, there is friction between the material tray 2400 and the material frame 1320, which will cause the material frame 1320 to tend to move in the direction of the receiving mechanism 1800. The clamping component 1360 can give the material frame 1320 a force in the direction of the brushing mechanism 1200 to prevent the material frame 1320 from moving.

[0085] Specifically, the clamping drive component 1362 is a cylinder.

[0086] Reference Figure 10 According to some embodiments of this application, the lifting mechanism 1700 is used to transfer the material frame 1320. The lifting mechanism 1700 includes a lifting drive assembly and a hook 1710. The lifting drive assembly drives the hook 1710 to hook the material frame 1320.

[0087] Understandably, the lifting mechanism 1700 can lift the material frame 1320 from the framing mechanism 1300 and transfer it to the oil-spinning mechanism 1000b and / or the cleaning mechanism 1000c. After the oil-spinning mechanism 1000b and / or the cleaning mechanism 1000c complete the oil-spinning or cleaning, the lifting mechanism 1700 will be able to transport the material frame 1320 back to the base plate 1310 of the framing mechanism 1300.

[0088] Understandably, the lifting frame drive assembly can drive the hook 1710 to align with the upper end of the material frame 1320 to hook the material frame 1320, and then transfer the material frame 1320 through the lifting frame drive assembly.

[0089] Specifically, refer to Figure 10The lifting frame driving assembly includes a first lifting frame driving assembly 1720, a second lifting frame driving assembly 1730, and a third lifting frame driving assembly 1740. The first lifting frame driving assembly 1720 drives the hook 1710 to move in a third direction, the second lifting frame driving assembly 1730 drives the hook 1710 to move in a fourth direction, and the third lifting frame driving assembly 1740 drives the hook 1710 to move in the height direction, enabling the hook 1710 to move in three directions. Specifically, the third lifting frame driving assembly 1740 is disposed at the driving end of the second lifting frame driving assembly 1730, the first lifting frame driving assembly 1720 is disposed at the driving end of the third lifting frame driving assembly 1740, and the hook 1710 is disposed at the first lifting frame driving assembly 1720.

[0090] It should be noted that the first lifting frame drive component 1720, the second lifting frame drive component 1730, and the third lifting frame drive component 1740 all use linear servo motors.

[0091] Specifically, hook 1710 includes at least two hooks, and hooks 1710 are oriented in the same direction.

[0092] Understandably, setting multiple hooks 1710 improves the load-bearing stability of the lifting mechanism 1700 on the material frame 1320, and setting the orientation of the hooks 1710 to be consistent, after the hooks 1710 are moved to the side of the upper end of the material frame 1320 by the third lifting drive component 1740, all hooks 1710 can be moved directly to the lower part of the upper end of the material frame 1320 by the second lifting drive component 1730, and the material frame 1320 can be lifted by the third lifting drive component 1740 driving the hooks 1710 to move upward.

[0093] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 According to some embodiments of this application, the receiving mechanism 1800 further includes a receiving fixing part 1810, a receiving moving part 1820, a receiving support member 1830, and a receiving driving part 1840. The receiving moving part 1820 is slidably disposed on the receiving fixing part 1810. The receiving support member 1830 is disposed on the side of the receiving moving part 1820 near the framing mechanism 1300. The receiving support member 1830 is used to support the material tray 2400 pushed out from the framing mechanism 1300. The receiving driving part 1840 is disposed on the receiving fixing part 1810, and its driving end is driven to connect to the receiving moving part 1820.

[0094] Understandably, the receiving mechanism 1800 is located on the side of the framing mechanism 1300 away from the oiling mechanism 1200, and is used to receive the cleaned tray 2400 in the tray 1320. Specifically, when it is necessary to push the tray 2400 in the framing mechanism 1300 to the receiving mechanism 1800, the receiving drive unit 1840 drives the receiving moving unit 1820 to slide in a direction close to the framing mechanism 1300, that is, to slide in a third direction, so that the receiving support 1830 is close to the tray 1320. It should be noted that the height of the bearing surface of the receiving support 1830 is lower than the height of the bearing surface of the tray 1320, so as to ensure that the tray 2400 can be pushed onto the receiving support 1830. Then, the receiving moving part 1820 drives the receiving support 1830 to pull the material tray 2400 back above the receiving fixing part 1810, and the robot moves the material tray 2400 on the receiving support 1830 to the connecting conveyor line 1600. It should be noted that the receiving drive part 1840 adopts a linear servo motor or a cylinder.

[0095] It should be understood that the receiving process of receiving mechanism 1800 is as follows:

[0096] In this embodiment, a gap is formed between the lower ends of the base plate 1310 and the material frame 1320, allowing the material receiving support 1830 to pass through. A certain distance exists between the receiving mechanism 1800 and the framing mechanism 1300. The receiving moving part 1820 partially moves the material receiving support 1830 to the gap between the lower ends of the base plate 1310 and the material frame 1320. The material receiving support 1830 connects the gap between the receiving mechanism 1800 and the framing mechanism 1300, ensuring that the material tray 2400 can be accurately pushed onto the material receiving support 1830. Furthermore, this application can achieve the transfer of oiled and cleaned material trays 2400 using only one set of pushing mechanisms 1400, improving the transfer speed of the material trays 2400 and reducing the manufacturing cost of the equipment.

[0097] In other embodiments, the receiving support 1830 may be moved to a position close to the material frame 1320 so that the receiving support 1830 docks with the material frame 1320.

[0098] In some embodiments, the framing mechanism 1300 further includes a lifting drive assembly for driving the base plate 1310 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the base plate 1310.

[0099] For example, firstly, the receiving support 1830 moves to below the material frame 1320. Then, the lifting drive assembly lowers the base plate 1310, making the bearing surface of the material frame 1320 lower than the bearing surface of the receiving support 1830. The material tray 2400 on the material frame 1320 will then be mounted on the receiving support 1830. The receiving support 1830 then returns to above the receiving fixing part 1810 via the receiving moving part 1820. Next, the lifting drive assembly moves the material frame 1320 to a height slightly lower than the brushing support 1240, so that the pushing mechanism 1400 can push the material tray 2400 onto the material frame 1320.

[0100] Reference Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this application, the material frame 1320 includes a frame and a tray support 1330. The upper end of the frame has at least four top supports 1321 forming a quadrilateral structure for cooperating with the hook 1710; the lower end of the frame has at least four bottom supports 1322 forming a quadrilateral structure. The bottom supports 1322 form a tray inlet 1340 and a tray outlet 1350. An opening and closing assembly 1370 is mounted on the bottom supports 1322, and a baffle 1371 can form a gap with the bottom supports 1322 for the passage of the tray 2400. The tray support 1330 is mounted on the bottom supports 1322. The frame also includes a connecting frame 1323, which connects the top supports 1321 and the bottom supports 1322.

[0101] Specifically, the tray support member 1330 extends along a third direction and is located on both sides of the base frame 1322 to support the two sides of the tray 2400, leaving the middle of the tray 2400 empty to facilitate the receiving support member 1830 receiving materials. Additionally, two sets of tray support members 1330 are arranged along a fourth direction on a material frame 1320 to support multiple trays 2400.

[0102] It is understood that the frame includes a top frame 1321, a bottom frame 1322, and a connecting frame 1323. Both the top frame 1321 and the bottom frame 1322 consist of four members forming a quadrilateral structure. The top frame 1321 and the bottom frame 1322 are connected by the connecting frame 1323. It should be understood that the frame formed by the top frame 1321, the bottom frame 1322, and the connecting frame 1323 creates a large open area, facilitating the hook 1710 to hook onto the top frame 1321 from below, facilitating the entry and exit of the material tray 2400 into and out of the frame, and ensuring that cleaning oil is effectively discharged from the material frame 1320 during oil removal, preventing accumulation within the material frame 1320.

[0103] It should be understood that, referring to Figure 6The brushing mechanism 1200 also includes brushing sensors 1261. Multiple brushing sensors 1261 are provided at the corners of the brushing mechanism 1200, and the sensing ranges of the brushing sensors 1261 are arranged in a cross pattern to cover the area above the brushing support 1240, so as to accurately sense the status of the feeding tray 2400 of the brushing support 1240.

[0104] Similarly, refer to Figure 8 The receiving mechanism 1800 also includes receiving sensors 1851. Multiple receiving sensors 1851 are provided at the corners of the receiving mechanism 1800, and the sensing ranges of the receiving sensors 1851 are arranged in a cross pattern to cover the area above the receiving support 1830, so as to accurately sense the status of the feeding tray 2400 of the receiving support 1830.

[0105] Accordingly, refer to Figure 7 The framing mechanism 1300 also includes a first framing sensor 1381 and a second framing sensor 1382. The first framing sensor 1381 is located on the side of the tray inlet 1340 of the material frame 1320, and the second framing sensor 1382 is located on the side of the tray outlet 1350 of the material frame 1320. The detection height of the first framing sensor 1381 is lower than the detection height of the second framing sensor 1382. The first framing sensor 1381 is used to check whether the material frame 1320 is in place, and the second framing sensor 1382 is used to sense whether the tray 2400 on the material frame 1320 is in place.

[0106] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 3 The material frame conveying mechanism of this application also includes a loading mechanism 1100. The loading mechanism 1100 includes a claw body 1110 and a claw drive assembly 1120. The claw drive assembly 1120 drives the claw body 1110 so that the claw body 1110 can move along a third direction, a fourth direction, and a height direction. The claw body 1110 is used to clamp the material tray 2400 and to place the material tray 2400 onto the brushing support 1240 of the brushing mechanism 1200. The claw drive assembly 1120 is a three-axis moving module. The claw body 1110 includes a gripper cylinder 2711, which clamps the material tray 2400 by clamping.

[0107] Regarding the specific structure of the oil-throwing mechanism 1000b: the oil-throwing mechanism 1000b includes a machine base 1510, a chassis 1520, a rotary drive assembly 1530, and a positioning assembly; the chassis 1520 is used to support the material frame 1320, and the chassis 1520 is rotatably mounted on the machine base 1510; the rotary drive assembly 1530 includes a rotating wheel 1531, a rotating shaft 1533, and a first oil-throwing drive unit 1534, which drives the rotating wheel 1531 and the chassis 1520 to rotate synchronously through the rotating shaft 1533, thereby driving the material frame 1320 on the chassis 1520 to rotate. A first positioning structure 1532 is provided on the periphery of the rotating wheel 1531; the positioning assembly includes a detection element 1541, a second positioning structure 1542, and a second oil-throwing drive unit 1543; the detection element 1541 is used to detect the rotation position of the rotating wheel 1531; the second positioning structure 1542 is disposed on the side of the first positioning structure 1532, and the second oil-throwing drive unit 1543 drives and connects to the second positioning structure 1542 to make the second positioning structure 1542 approach or move away from the first positioning structure 1532 so that the second positioning structure 1542 comes into contact with the first positioning structure 1532.

[0108] Understandably, the operation of the oil-throwing mechanism 1000b is as follows: the material frame 1320 is loaded onto the chassis 1520, at which point the chassis 1520 and the rotating wheel 1531 are in their initial positions; then, the first oil-throwing drive unit 1534 drives the rotating wheel 1531 and the chassis 1520 to rotate synchronously via the rotating shaft 1533, thereby driving the material frame 1320 to rotate, and using centrifugal force to throw out the oil from the product.

[0109] After the oil slinging is completed, in order to allow the chassis 1520 to return to its initial position, in this embodiment, the detection element 1541 detects the current rotation position of the rotating wheel 1531. When the detection element 1541 detects that the rotating wheel 1531 has reached its initial position, the detection element 1541 feeds back the signal to the first oil slinging drive unit 1534, so that the first oil slinging drive unit 1534 stops driving the rotating wheel 1531, causing the rotating wheel 1531 to stop. It should be noted that, due to the inertia of the rotation of the rotating wheel 1531 and the certain rotational margin after the rotating wheel 1531 stops, even if the first oil slinging drive unit 1534 stops driving the rotating wheel 1531, the rotating wheel 1531 will still continue to rotate at a certain angle, resulting in a deviation between the material frame 1320 and the initial position. Therefore, after the first oil slinging drive unit 1534 stops driving the rotating wheel 1531, the second oil slinging drive unit 1543 drives the second positioning structure 1542 to approach the rotating wheel 1531, and causes the second positioning structure to... The second positioning structure 1542 docks with the first positioning structure 1532. Through the contact between the second positioning structure 1542 and the first positioning structure 1532, the rotating wheel 1531 is pushed back to its initial position. It should be understood that since the rotating wheel 1531 and the chassis 1520 rotate synchronously, the position of the rotating wheel 1531 is determined, which also determines the position of the chassis 1520. After the rotating wheel 1531 returns to its initial position, the chassis 1520 also returns to its initial position, achieving precise reset, so as to facilitate the loading of the next material frame 1320 and the unloading of the current material frame 1320.

[0110] The oil-throwing mechanism 1000b also includes a limiting mechanism 1550, which is located on the chassis 1520 and is used to limit the material frame 1320.

[0111] Understandably, the limiting mechanism 1550 is used to limit the material frame 1320 placed on the chassis 1520.

[0112] Regarding the limiting mechanism 1550, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 12 The limiting mechanism 1550 includes a plurality of limiting blocks 1551, which are arranged on the chassis 1520 to form a fixed position for placing the material frame 1320.

[0113] Understandably, after the material frame 1320 is placed in the fixed position on the chassis 1520, the limiting block 1551 surrounds the material frame 1320 to prevent the material frame 1320 from being thrown out during rotation.

[0114] Specifically, the limiting block 1551 is L-shaped and corresponds to the corner of the material frame 1320.

[0115] In other embodiments, the limiting mechanism 1550 may also include a positioning post, with a positioning groove formed at the bottom of the material frame 1320. The positioning post is inserted into the positioning groove to limit the material frame 1320. Alternatively, the limiting mechanism 1550 may also include a clamping cylinder, which clamps at least two sides of the material frame 1320 after the material frame 1320 is placed on the chassis 1520 to limit the material frame 1320.

[0116] Regarding the first positioning structure 1532 and the second positioning structure 1542, in this embodiment, referring to... Figure 13 The first positioning structure 1532 is a positioning groove, and the second positioning structure 1542 is a positioning wheel, which can be engaged in the positioning groove.

[0117] Understandably, the positioning groove is formed on the circumference of the rotating wheel 1531. After the rotating wheel 1531 rotates to its initial position, the positioning wheel can be driven by the second oil-throwing drive unit 1543 to engage in the positioning groove. If there is a deviation between the position of the rotating wheel 1531 and its initial position, and the positioning wheel is in the positioning groove, the positioning wheel can press against the inner wall of the positioning groove, pushing the rotating wheel 1531 back to its initial position. Furthermore, by setting the positioning wheel, the positioning wheel can rotate when it contacts and presses against the inner wall of the positioning groove, so that the positioning wheel will not damage the positioning groove.

[0118] Specifically, the positioning groove has a wide opening structure, that is, the positioning groove is V-shaped, so that the positioning wheel can enter the positioning groove more easily.

[0119] Specifically, the second oil-throwing drive unit 1543 is a cylinder.

[0120] In other embodiments, the first positioning structure 1532 may also be a positioning wheel, and the second positioning structure 1542 may be a positioning block 1311 with a positioning groove. Alternatively, the first positioning structure 1532 may be a positioning groove, and the second positioning structure 1542 may be a rubber block.

[0121] Regarding the positioning component, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 The positioning component also includes a sensor 1544, which is disposed on the periphery of the rotating wheel 1531.

[0122] It is understandable that when the rotating wheel 1531 rotates to the initial position, the detection element 1541 can sense the sensing plate 1544.

[0123] In other embodiments, a mark can be made directly on the rotating wheel 1531, and the detection element 1541 senses the mark.

[0124] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14The rotary drive assembly 1530 also includes a drive wheel 1535, a belt 1536, and a driven wheel 1537. The first oil-throwing drive unit 1534 is driven and connected to the drive wheel 1535, and the driven wheel 1537 is driven and connected to the rotating shaft 1533. The belt 1536 is wound around the drive wheel 1535 and the driven wheel 1537. The diameter of the drive wheel 1535 is larger than the diameter of the driven wheel 1537.

[0125] Understandably, the first oil-throwing drive unit 1534 drives the transmission wheel 1535 to rotate, and the transmission wheel 1535 drives the driven wheel 1537 to rotate via the belt 1536. The driven wheel 1537 drives the rotating shaft 1533 to rotate. Since the diameter of the transmission wheel 1535 is larger than the diameter of the rotating wheel 1531, a speed-changing drive structure is formed, which enables the rotating wheel 1531 to rotate faster and improve the oil-throwing effect.

[0126] Specifically, the ratio between the diameter of the transmission wheel 1535 and the diameter of the rotating wheel 1531 is 3:1.

[0127] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 11 The oil-slinging mechanism 1000b also includes a housing 1570 and a cover 1572. The housing 1570 is disposed on the machine base 1510 and covers the chassis 1520. The upper end of the housing 1570 is provided with an opening that allows the material frame 1320 to pass through. The cover 1572 is rotatably connected to the housing 1570 to close or open the opening.

[0128] Understandably, when the material frame 1320 needs to be placed on the chassis 1520, the cover 1572 is rotated to open the opening, allowing the material frame 1320 to enter the interior of the housing 1570 through the opening, and the material frame 1320 is placed on the chassis 1520 located inside the housing 1570. Then, the cover 1572 closes the opening, and the material frame 1320 is rotated to perform oil splattering. By setting up the housing 1570 and the cover 1572, during the oil splattering process, the oil will remain inside the housing 1570, keeping the environment clean.

[0129] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 11 The oil-throwing mechanism 1000b also includes an opening and closing assembly 1560, which includes a swing arm 1561, a rotating shaft 1562, a third mounting base 1563, and a third oil-throwing drive unit 1564. The side of the cover 1572 is disposed around the rotating shaft 1562, which is rotatably disposed on the housing 1570. One end of the swing arm 1561 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft, and the other end of the swing arm 1561 is connected to the output end of the third oil-throwing drive unit 1564. The third mounting base 1563 is disposed on the outer surface of the housing 1570, and the body end of the third oil-throwing drive unit 1564 is rotatably disposed on the third mounting base 1563.

[0130] Understandably, the opening and closing assembly 1560 causes the cover 1572 to rotate relative to the housing 1570. Specifically, the output end of the third oil-throwing drive unit 1564 extends relative to its body end to drive the swing arm 1561 to rotate. The rotation of the swing arm 1561 drives the rotating shaft 1562 to rotate, thereby causing the cover 1572 on the rotating shaft 1562 to rotate, thus realizing the opening and closing of the cover 1572. In addition, by rotatably setting the body end of the third oil-throwing drive unit 1564 on the third mounting base 1563, it is ensured that the output end of the third oil-throwing drive unit 1564 can extend.

[0131] Specifically, the third oil-throwing drive unit 1564 is a cylinder.

[0132] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 11 The oil-slinging mechanism 1000b also includes an oil-slinging sensor 1571, which is disposed on the inner side wall of the housing 1570.

[0133] It is understood that in this embodiment, the oil slinger sensor 1571 is located on the housing 1570 near the opening, and the oil slinger sensor 1571 can sense whether there is a material frame 1320 inside the housing 1570.

[0134] Regarding the specific structure of the 2000 tray transfer module:

[0135] Reference Figures 15 to 26 The material tray transfer module 2000 is used to transfer the material tray 2400, on which the cutting tool 2410 is mounted. The material tray transfer module 2000 includes: material tray transfer device 2000a and material tray conveying device 2000b.

[0136] Reference Figure 16 The material tray transfer device 2000a includes a first material loading mechanism 2100 and a moving mechanism 2200; the first material loading mechanism 2100 is used to transport the material tray 2400 along a first direction; the moving mechanism 2200 is driven and connected to the first material loading mechanism 2100 to move the first material loading mechanism 2100 along a second direction.

[0137] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first direction and the third direction are the same direction, and the second direction and the fourth direction are the same direction. In other embodiments, the first direction and the third direction may be different directions, and the second direction and the fourth direction may also be different directions.

[0138] Specifically, the moving mechanism 2200 can be a lead screw drive mechanism.

[0139] Reference Figure 15The tray conveying device 2000b includes several tray conveying devices 2000b, which are spaced apart along the second direction on the side of the moving mechanism 2200, and one end of the tray conveying device 2000b can be connected to the discharge port of the first loading mechanism 2100; the tray conveying device 2000b is used to convey the tray 2400 along the first direction.

[0140] Among them, reference Figure 15 The pre-processing module 1000a is located beside the moving mechanism 2200. By moving the first loading mechanism 2100 along the second direction, the inlet of the first loading mechanism 2100 can be connected with the outlet of the receiving mechanism 1800 to load the tray 2400 containing the cleaned cutting tool 2410. The printing module 3000 includes multiple modules, and at least one printing module 3000 is located beside each tray conveying device 2000b. The sorting module 4000 is connected to the end of the tray conveying device 2000b away from the tray transfer device 2000a to receive the carrier containing the printed cutting tool 2410 from the tray transfer device 2000a.

[0141] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 15 The pre-processing module 1000a is positioned beside the moving mechanism 2200, and the sorting module 4000 is positioned at the end of the tray conveying device 2000b away from the tray transfer device 2000a.

[0142] The operation process of the material tray transfer module 2000 of this application is as follows: the moving mechanism 2200 drives the first material loading mechanism 2100 to move along the second direction, so that the inlet of the first material loading mechanism 2100 is connected to the pre-processing module 1000a. Specifically, the inlet of the first material loading mechanism 2100 is connected to the outlet of the connecting conveyor line 1600 so that the first material loading mechanism 2100 can receive the material tray 2400 at the pre-processing module 1000a.

[0143] Then, the moving mechanism 2200 drives the first loading mechanism 2100 to move in the second direction, so that the discharge port of the first loading mechanism 2100 docks with one of the tray conveying devices 2000b. The first loading mechanism 2100 conveys the tray 2400 in the first direction to transport the tray 2400 to the docked tray conveying device 2000b.

[0144] Next, since the printing module 3000 is located next to the tray conveyor 2000b, the tray 2400 on the tray conveyor 2000b is transferred to the printing module 3000 for processing by manual labor or by the loading / unloading mechanism 2700. The printing module 3000 prints characters on the cutting tool 2410 on the tray 2400. After the printing module 3000 completes the processing, the tray 2400 is transferred back to the tray conveyor 2000b by manual labor or by the loading / unloading mechanism 2700.

[0145] Next, the tray conveying device 2000b conveys the tray 2400 along the first direction to transport the tray 2400 to the sorting module 4000, which sorts the cutting tools 2410 on the tray 2400.

[0146] It is understandable that by driving the first material loading mechanism 2100 to move along the second direction through the moving mechanism 2200, the discharge port of the first material loading mechanism 2100 can be connected to any material tray conveying device 2000b, so as to transport the material tray 2400 to the material tray conveying device 2000b corresponding to the printing module 3000 with a lighter workload. This makes the conveying of the material tray 2400 unaffected by the processing efficiency of the printing module 3000, improves the conveying efficiency of the material tray 2400, and thus improves the production efficiency.

[0147] Reference Figure 20 According to some embodiments of this application, the tray conveying device 2000b includes a first conveying line 2510a and a second conveying line 2510b; wherein, one end of the first conveying line 2510a can be connected to the discharge port of the first loading mechanism 2100 to convey the tray 2400 carrying the printing cutter 2410 along the first direction, the second conveying line 2510b is used to convey the tray 2400 carrying the printing cutter 2410 along the first direction, and the second conveying line 2510b is connected to the sorting module 4000.

[0148] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 15 The printing module 3000 is located beside the first conveyor line 2510a, and the sorting module 4000 is connected to the end of the second conveyor line 2510b away from the tray transfer device 2000a.

[0149] It should be understood that the aforementioned printing cutter 2410 refers to the cutter 2410 for printing on the printing module 3000, that is, the cleaned cutter 2410, and the aforementioned printed cutter 2410 refers to the cutter 2410 after printing on the printing module 3000.

[0150] When the first conveyor line 2510a delivers the tray 2400 to the side of the printing module 3000, the tray 2400 can be removed from the loading position manually or by the loading / unloading mechanism 2700 and transferred to the printing module 3000 next to the first conveyor line 2510a. The printing module 3000 processes the cutting tool 2410 on the tray 2400. After the cutting tool 2410 on the tray 2400 has completed processing, the tray 2400 is transferred to the second conveyor line 2510b manually or by the loading / unloading mechanism 2700. The second conveyor line 2510b then transfers the tray 2400 to the sorting module 4000.

[0151] It is understandable that by setting up the first conveyor line 2510a and the second conveyor line 2510b to respectively convey the tray 2400 carrying the printing cutter 2410 and the tray 2400 carrying the printed cutter 2410, the conveying of the tray 2400 carrying the printing cutter 2410 and the conveying of the tray 2400 carrying the printed cutter 2410 do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the conveying speed.

[0152] Specifically, both the first conveyor line 2510a and the second conveyor line 2510b include a first conveyor belt and a conveyor drive unit 2520, which drives the first conveyor belt to convey the material tray 2400 along a first direction; in other embodiments, the first conveyor line 2510a and the second conveyor line 2510b may also adopt a chain plate conveyor assembly.

[0153] Specifically, the conveyor drive unit 2520 uses a linear servo motor.

[0154] Reference Figure 20 According to some embodiments of this application, the first conveyor line 2510a is provided with a plurality of loading positions along the first direction, and the second conveyor line 2510b is provided with a plurality of unloading positions along the first direction. On the side of the same tray conveying device 2000b, a plurality of printing modules 3000 are distributed along the first direction, and the loading positions, unloading positions and printing modules 3000 correspond one-to-one. The tray transfer module 2000 also includes a loading and unloading mechanism 2700, which is used to pick up the tray 2400 at the loading position and place it into the printing module 3000, or to place the tray 2400 in the printing module 3000 into the unloading position.

[0155] In this embodiment, the first conveying line 2510a and the second conveying line 2510b in the same tray conveying device 2000b are distributed along the second direction. In other embodiments, the first conveying line 2510a and the second conveying line 2510b may also be distributed along the height direction or in other directions, which is not limited here.

[0156] It should be noted that the printing module 3000 is located next to the loading position, and the printing module 3000 corresponds one-to-one with the loading position.

[0157] Understandably, after the material tray 2400 reaches the loading position, the loading / unloading mechanism 2700 places the material tray 2400 at the loading position into the printing module 3000; after the printing module 3000 is processed, the loading / unloading mechanism 2700 places the material tray 2400 inside the printing module 3000 into the unloading position.

[0158] It should be understood that by setting up the loading position, unloading position and printing module 3000 in a one-to-one correspondence, and placing the printing module 3000 next to the loading position, the transfer path of the material tray 2400 is reduced, the transfer efficiency of the material tray 2400 is improved, the required travel distance of the loading and unloading mechanism 2700 to transfer the material tray 2400 is reduced, and the stability and efficiency of the material tray 2400 during transfer are improved.

[0159] Understandably, by setting up multiple loading and unloading positions to correspond to multiple printing modules 3000, production efficiency can be improved.

[0160] Reference Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 23 and Figure 24 According to some embodiments of this application, the tray conveying device 2000b further includes a lifting drive unit 2620 and a plurality of lifting frames 2610; the lifting frames 2610 are used to support the trays 2400, and the lifting frames 2610 are set corresponding to the upper or lower material positions; the lifting drive unit 2620 drives the lifting frames 2610 to move the supporting surface of the lifting frames 2610 to a position higher or lower than the conveying surface of the first conveying line 2510a / second conveying line 2510b; the loading and unloading mechanism 2700 is used to remove the trays 2400 from the lifting frames 2610 or place the trays 2400 onto the lifting frames 2610.

[0161] Regarding the correspondence between the lifting frame 2610 and the loading and unloading positions:

[0162] In this embodiment, each loading and unloading position is provided with a corresponding lifting frame 2610.

[0163] It should be noted that, for ease of description, the lifting frame 2610 set for the loading position is defined as the first lifting frame 2610a, and the lifting frame 2610 set for the unloading position is defined as the second lifting frame 2610b.

[0164] It should be understood that after the material tray 2400 is conveyed to the loading position by the first conveyor line 2510a, the lifting drive unit 2620 lifts the first lifting frame 2610a, so that the supporting surface of the first lifting frame 2610a is higher than the conveying surface of the first conveyor line 2510a. The supporting surface of the first lifting frame 2610a supports the material tray 2400 and drives the material tray 2400 to rise together. After rising to a certain height, the loading and unloading mechanism 2700 can remove the material tray 2400 from the first lifting frame 2610a and transfer it into the printing module 3000.

[0165] After the cutting tool 2410 on the material tray 2400 completes processing in the printing module 3000, the second lifting frame 2610b has been lifted to the material picking height by the lifting drive unit 2620. The loading and unloading mechanism 2700 transfers the material tray 2400 onto the second lifting frame 2610b. Then the second lifting frame 2610b descends, so that the supporting surface of the second lifting frame 2610b is lower than the conveying surface of the second conveyor line 2510b, and the material tray 2400 is returned to the second conveyor line 2510b. The second conveyor line 2510b then transmits the material tray 2400 to the sorting module 4000.

[0166] Specifically, a second sensor can be installed on the first lifting frame 2610a to sense whether the first lifting frame 2610a is full. When the first lifting frame 2610a is full, it can be lifted by the lifting drive unit 2620. Correspondingly, a second sensor is installed on the second lifting frame 2610b to sense whether there is still a material tray 2400 on the second lifting frame 2610b. After the material tray 2400 on the second lifting frame 2610b is sent away by the second conveyor line 2510b, it can rise again to the material picking height.

[0167] In addition, a third sensor can be installed at the corresponding loading and unloading positions to sense whether there is a material tray 2400 below the lifting frame 2610. If not, the lifting frame 2610 can descend normally to avoid collision between the lifting frame 2610 and the material tray 2400 on the first conveyor line 2510a or the second conveyor line 2510b.

[0168] Understandably, when the printing module 3000 is processing the cutting tool 2410, the material tray 2400 can be raised to a certain height via the first lifting frame 2610a, waiting for the cutting tool 2410 in the previous material tray 2400 to finish processing, thus achieving the effect of temporarily storing the material tray 2400. Correspondingly, when the second conveyor line 2510b is fully loaded, the material tray 2400 can be temporarily stored on the second lifting frame 2610b.

[0169] Furthermore, after the loading and unloading mechanism 2700 removes the tray 2400 from the first lifting frame 2610a, since the trays 2400 of the printing cutter 2410 and the printed cutter 2410 are respectively transported by the first conveyor line 2510a and the second conveyor line 2510b, the first lifting frame 2610a does not need to wait for the removed tray 2400 to finish processing. The first lifting frame 2610a can directly return to its initial state and wait for the next tray 2400 to arrive, thereby improving the transportation speed.

[0170] Furthermore, through the cooperation of the lifting frame 2610 and the lifting drive unit 2620, the lifting frame 2610 can lift the material tray 2400, and a gap is formed between the lifting frame 2610 and the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b that allows the material tray 2400 to pass through, without affecting the normal transmission of the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b.

[0171] In other embodiments, the lifting frame 2610 can also be installed only at some of the loading / unloading positions.

[0172] Specifically, the lifting frame 2610 of this application is provided with a support portion 2611. The lifting frame 2610 supports the material tray 2400 through the support portion 2611. In this embodiment, the support portion 2611 is located on both sides of the lifting frame 2610 and can support the edge portion of the material tray 2400. In other embodiments, the support portion 2611 can also be located in the middle of the lifting frame 2610 and can pass through the middle of the first conveyor line 2510a and the second conveyor line 2510b to support the middle portion of the material tray 2400.

[0173] Specifically, in this embodiment, each lifting frame 2610 is provided with a corresponding lifting drive unit 2620. In other embodiments, one lifting drive unit 2620 may correspond to multiple lifting frames 2610. Specifically, the lifting drive unit 2620 is a cylinder.

[0174] Reference Figure 20 and Figure 25 According to some embodiments of this application, the loading and unloading mechanism 2700 is mounted above the first conveyor line 2510a and the second conveyor line 2510b. The loading and unloading mechanism 2700 includes a picking head 2710, a second loading and unloading drive assembly 2730, and a third loading and unloading drive assembly 2740. The picking head 2710 is used to pick up the material tray 2400. The second loading and unloading drive assembly 2730 and the third loading and unloading drive assembly 2740 drive the picking head 2710. The second loading and unloading drive assembly 2730 is used to move the picking head 2710 along a second direction. The third loading and unloading drive assembly 2740 is used to move the picking head 2710 closer to or further away from the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b along the height direction.

[0175] Understandably, the operation of the loading / unloading mechanism 2700 is as follows: the picking head 2710 moves above the first conveyor line 2510a via the second loading / unloading drive assembly 2730, then the picking head 2710 approaches the first conveyor line 2510a via the third loading / unloading drive assembly 2740 and clamps the tray 2400 on the first lifting frame 2610a. Similarly, the tray 2400 is then delivered to the printing module 3000 via the cooperation of the third loading / unloading drive assembly 2740 and the second loading / unloading drive assembly 2730. After the cutting tool 2410 within the tray 2400 completes processing, the tray 2400 is transferred to the second lifting frame 2610b.

[0176] Specifically, the material handling head 2710 can handle materials by clamping, adsorption, or other methods, which are not limited here.

[0177] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 25 The material handling head 2710 includes a gripper cylinder 2711 and grippers 2712. The gripper cylinder 2711 has two drive ends on opposite sides. The two grippers 2712 are respectively disposed on the two drive ends of the gripper cylinder. The gripper cylinder 2711 is used to drive the two grippers 2712 to move closer or further away to grip the material tray 2400 or release the material tray 2400.

[0178] Specifically, refer to Figure 25 The second loading and unloading drive assembly 2730 includes a first loading and unloading moving part 2731 and a second loading and unloading moving part 2732. The third loading and unloading drive assembly 2740 is disposed at the drive end of the first loading and unloading moving part 2731, the second loading and unloading moving part 2732 is disposed at the drive end of the third loading and unloading drive assembly 2740, and the material pick-up head 2710 is disposed at the drive end of the second loading and unloading moving part 2732.

[0179] Understandably, the first loading / unloading moving part 2731 can drive the third loading / unloading driving assembly 2740 to move a certain distance along the second direction, thereby causing the picking head 2710 to move a certain distance along the second direction. Correspondingly, the second loading / unloading moving part 2732 can drive the picking head 2710 to move a certain distance along the second direction. Thus, by setting the first loading / unloading moving part 2731 and the second loading / unloading moving part 2732, the movement of the picking head 2710 along the second direction is divided into two segments, which can reduce the area occupied by the loading / unloading mechanism 2700 and improve the stability of the picking head 2710 during movement.

[0180] Specifically, refer to Figure 25The loading and unloading mechanism 2700 also includes a horizontally arranged fixed frame 2751 and at least two vertically arranged connecting rods 2752. The connecting rods 2752 are arranged in parallel. One end of the connecting rod 2752 is located at the drive end of the second loading and unloading moving part 2732. One end of at least one connecting rod 2752 is connected to the material picking head 2710. The fixed frame 2751 is connected to all the connecting rods 2752.

[0181] Understandably, the material-retrieving head 2710 is mounted on the second loading / unloading moving part 2732 via a vertical connecting rod 2752, allowing the material-retrieving head 2710 to descend to a certain height, thereby reducing the travel required by the third loading / unloading drive assembly 2740. Furthermore, by providing at least two connecting rods 2752, and fixing the connecting rods 2752 together via a horizontally mounted fixing bracket 2751, the connecting rods 2752 are less prone to wobbling, ensuring the stability of the material-retrieving head 2710 during material retrieval.

[0182] Specifically, refer to Figure 20 The first conveyor line 2510a and the second conveyor line 2510b extend along the first direction, as shown in the reference. Figure 11 The loading and unloading mechanism 2700 also includes a first loading and unloading drive assembly 2720, and a first loading and unloading moving part 2731 is disposed at the drive end of the first loading and unloading drive assembly 2720.

[0183] It is understandable that by setting the first loading / unloading moving part 2731 in the first loading / unloading driving assembly 2720, the picking head 2710 can be driven by the first loading / unloading driving assembly 2720 to move along the first direction, so that a loading / unloading mechanism 2700 can load and unload multiple loading / unloading positions.

[0184] Specifically, refer to Figure 22 The first loading / unloading drive assembly 2720 includes a second guide rod 2721 and a second slide block 2722. The second guide rod 2721 extends along a first direction, and the second slide block 2722 is slidably disposed on the second guide rod 2721. The first loading / unloading moving part 2731 is disposed on the second slide block 2722.

[0185] Understandably, during the process of the first loading / unloading drive assembly 2720 driving the first loading / unloading moving part 2731 to move along the first direction, the second slide block 2722 slides along the second guide rod 2721. Through the cooperation between the second guide rod 2721 and the second slide block 2722, the movement of the first loading / unloading moving part 2731 becomes more stable.

[0186] It should also be understood that, referring to Figure 22The first loading / unloading drive assembly 2720 also includes a fifth drive unit 2723, which drives the second slide block 2722 to slide along the second guide rod 2721. Specifically, the fifth drive unit 2723 can be a lead screw module or a belt 1536 module.

[0187] Specifically, the first loading / unloading drive assembly 2720, the first loading / unloading moving part 2731, the second loading / unloading moving part 2732, the third loading / unloading drive assembly 2740, and the lifting module 2940 can all be configured as a lead screw module or a belt 1536 module.

[0188] Specifically, refer to Figure 25 The loading and unloading mechanism 2700 also includes a barcode reader 2761 and an angle adjustment plate 2762. The angle adjustment plate 2762 is disposed at the drive end of the second loading and unloading moving part 2732, and the barcode reader 2761 is rotatably disposed on the angle adjustment plate 2762.

[0189] It should be noted that the material tray 2400 has QR codes or barcodes, which can be understood to be identified by the barcode reader 2761 to obtain information about the material tray 2400. Furthermore, the barcode reader 2761 is rotatably mounted on the angle adjustment plate 2762, allowing the scanning angle of the barcode reader 2761 to be adjusted as needed.

[0190] Reference Figure 16 According to some embodiments of this application, the first material loading mechanism 2100 includes a first mounting base 2110, a conveying section 2120, and a first material loading drive section 2130; the conveying section 2120 and the first material loading drive section 2130 are disposed on the first mounting base 2110, and the first material loading drive section 2130 is driven to connect to the conveying section 2120 for conveying the material tray 2400 along a first direction; the moving mechanism 2200 is driven to connect to the first mounting base 2110 for moving the first mounting base 2110 along a second direction.

[0191] It is understandable that the moving mechanism 2200 drives the first mounting base 2110, and by driving the first mounting base 2110, it simultaneously drives the conveying unit 2120 and the first material loading drive unit 2130 to move horizontally together.

[0192] Specifically, in this embodiment, the conveying unit 2120 is a conveyor belt 1536; in other embodiments, it may also be a chain. The conveying unit 2120 is capable of carrying the material tray 2400, and the first material-carrying drive unit 2130 drives the conveying unit 2120 to transport the material tray 2400 along a first direction.

[0193] Reference Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 20According to some embodiments of this application, the conveying unit 2120 includes a plurality of conveying units 2120 distributed along a second direction, and the number of first conveying lines 2510a of each tray conveying device 2000b is less than the number of conveying units 2120.

[0194] It is understood that in this embodiment, the conveying unit 2120 includes two units, and each material tray conveying device 2000b includes one first conveying line 2510a. It should be understood that at least one material tray 2400 is placed on each conveying unit 2120. When the conveying unit 2120 docks with the first conveying line 2510a, one of the conveying units 2120 docks with the first conveying line 2510a first. After the material tray 2400 on the current conveying unit 2120 is completely unloaded, the moving mechanism 2200 can drive the first loading mechanism 2100 to move in the second direction, so that the other conveying unit 2120 docks with the first conveying line 2510a. Thus, the number of conveying units 2120 is not limited by the number of first conveying lines 2510a, so that the first loading mechanism 2100 can be equipped with multiple conveying units 2120 to improve the transfer efficiency of the material tray 2400.

[0195] Reference Figure 19 According to some embodiments of this application, each conveying unit 2120 includes a blocking part 2140, a second material-carrying drive part 2150, and at least two conveyor belts 2121. The first material-carrying drive part 2130 drives and connects to the conveyor belts 2121 to transport the material trays 2400 along a first direction. The blocking part 2140 is movably disposed on the first mounting base 2110 and is located between the two conveyor belts 2121 of the same conveying unit 2120. The second material-carrying drive part 2150 drives and connects to the blocking part 2140 and can move the blocking part 2140 above the conveying surface of the conveyor belts 2121.

[0196] Understandably, after receiving the tray 2400 on the conveyor belt 2121, the blocking part 2140 can prevent the tray 2400 from moving further forward, thus keeping the tray 2400 on the conveyor belt 2121. The blocking part 2140 can limit the tray 2400 on the conveyor belt 2121 to ensure that the tray 2400 moves into place and to ensure the stability of the tray 2400 when the first loading mechanism 2100 moves.

[0197] In addition, in some embodiments, the tray 2400 is fed from one end of the conveyor belt 2121 and unloaded from the other end. The movable blocking part 2140 can limit or release the limiting of the tray 2400, so that the tray 2400 can be fed from one end of the conveyor belt 2121 and unloaded from the other end of the conveyor belt 2121.

[0198] Furthermore, by placing the blocking part 2140 between the two conveyor belts 2121, the size of the first loading mechanism 2100 can be reduced.

[0199] It should be noted that the blocking part 2140 has two ends, which are defined as the first end and the second end, respectively.

[0200] It is understood that in this embodiment, the first end of the blocking part 2140 is rotatably connected to the first mounting base 2110, and the second material-carrying driving part 2150 drives the blocking part 2140 to rotate. The second end of the blocking part 2140 can rotate to a position higher than the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 2121, so that the second end of the blocking part 2140 moves onto the conveying path of the conveyor belt 2121. It should be understood that the conveying path of the conveyor belt 2121 refers to the moving path of the material tray 2400 transmitted by the conveyor belt 2121. By rotating the second end of the blocking part 2140 onto the conveying path of the conveyor belt 2121, the material tray 2400 transmitted by the conveyor belt 2121 is limited, thereby preventing the material tray 2400 from being transmitted further. In other embodiments, the blocking part 2140 is disposed on the first mounting base 2110 by the second material loading drive part 2150. For example, the second material loading drive part 2150 drives the blocking part 2140 to rise and fall, so that the blocking part 2140 can rise to a position higher than the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 2121.

[0201] In this embodiment, the conveying unit 2120, the first material-carrying driving unit 2130, the blocking unit 2140, and the second material-carrying driving unit 2150 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and each includes two units. In other embodiments, only one or more units may be provided.

[0202] Regarding the specific form of the movable connection between the blocking part 2140 and the first mounting base 2110, in this embodiment, refer to... Figure 4 The first end of the blocking part 2140 is rotatably connected to the first mounting base 2110, and the second material loading drive part 2150 is used to drive the blocking part 2140 to rotate.

[0203] Understandably, the second material-carrying drive unit 2150 drives the blocking unit 2140 to rotate around the first end of the blocking unit 2140.

[0204] In other embodiments, the first end of the blocking part 2140 may also be disposed on the first mounting base 2110 by the second material loading drive part 2150, and the second material loading drive part 2150 drives the blocking part 2140 to rise and fall.

[0205] Specifically, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 19The second material loading drive unit 2150 is a cylinder, and its output end is connected to the middle of the blocking part 2140. It can be understood that the second material loading drive unit 2150 pushes or pulls down the middle of the blocking part 2140 to cause the blocking part 2140 to swing. More specifically, the first material loading mechanism 2100 also includes a connector 2170. The cylinder is connected to the middle of the blocking part 2140 through the connector 2170. The middle of the blocking part 2140 has a groove 2142 arranged along the length of the blocking part 2140. The connector 2170 has a sliding part 2171, which is slidably disposed within the groove 2142, and the blocking part 2140 can rotate relative to the sliding part 2171.

[0206] Understandably, the second loading drive unit 2150 pushes the connector 2170 upward, the sliding part 2171 abuts against the inner wall of the slide groove 2142, and the sliding part 2171 pushes the blocking part 2140 upward. Since the first end of the blocking part 2140 is rotatably connected to the first mounting base 2110, the second end of the blocking part 2140 swings, and the sliding part 2171 slides along the slide groove 2142. After the blocking part 2140 rotates to a certain angle, the sliding part 2171 abuts against the groove wall of the slide groove 2142 near the second end, so that the sliding part 2171 cannot continue to rise, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the blocking part 2140.

[0207] In other embodiments, the second material-carrying drive unit 2150 may also be a linear servo motor, and the blocking part 2140 is rotatably connected to the first mounting base 2110 via a rotating shaft. It is understood that the second material-carrying drive unit 2150 drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby causing the blocking part 2140 to rotate.

[0208] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 19 The second end of the blocking part 2140 is a hook-shaped structure 2141, which can be adapted to the edge of the tray 2400.

[0209] Understandably, the hook-like structure 2141 can hook onto the edge of the material tray 2400.

[0210] According to some embodiments of this application, in this embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 17 The blocking part 2140 includes at least two located at both ends of the conveyor belt 2121. It is understood that by providing blocking parts 2140 at both ends of the conveyor belt 2121, after the conveyor belt 2121 is fully loaded with the material tray 2400, the feeding end of the conveyor belt 2121 used for feeding is also limited by the blocking parts 2140, so that the material tray 2400 cannot fall out from the feeding end of the conveyor belt 2121.

[0211] In other embodiments, the blocking part 2140 may also be provided only at one end of the conveyor belt 2121.

[0212] Reference Figure 17 According to some embodiments of this application, the material tray transfer device 2000a further includes a lifting mechanism 2300, which is disposed at the drive end of the moving mechanism 2200. The first material loading mechanism 2100 is disposed at the drive end of the lifting mechanism 2300. The lifting mechanism 2300 is driven to connect to the first material loading mechanism 2100 for lifting the first material loading mechanism 2100.

[0213] It is understood that the first loading mechanism 2100 is mounted on the moving mechanism 2200 via a lifting mechanism 2300. Specifically, the first mounting base 2110 of the first loading mechanism 2100 is mounted on the drive end of the lifting mechanism 2300. The lifting mechanism 2300 can lift the first loading mechanism 2100 by moving the first mounting base 2110. The lifting mechanism 2300 is mounted on the moving mechanism 2200, and the moving mechanism 2200 can move the first loading mechanism 2100 horizontally by moving the lifting mechanism 2300 horizontally. Thus, by adding the lifting mechanism 2300, the conveying unit 2120 of this application can connect to preprocessing modules 1000a of different heights.

[0214] Reference Figure 20 , Figure 23 and Figure 24 According to some embodiments of this application, the tray conveying device 2000b further includes a temporary storage line 2810 and a second transfer mechanism 2900; the second transfer mechanism 2900 is used to transfer the tray 2400 from the first conveying line 2510a / second conveying line 2510b to the temporary storage line 2810, and the temporary storage line 2810 is used to temporarily store the tray 2400.

[0215] It is understood that when the trays 2400 in the sorting module 4000 or on the second conveyor line 2510b are full, the trays 2400 can be first conveyed to the temporary storage line 2810. Specifically, the temporary storage line 2810 uses a belt conveyor assembly; in other embodiments, a chain conveyor assembly may also be used. It should be understood that the second transfer mechanism 2900 receives the trays 2400 from the first conveyor line 2510a or the second conveyor line 2510b, then docks with the temporary storage line 2810 and conveys the trays 2400 onto the temporary storage line 2810. It should be understood that the temporary storage line 2810 has a certain length and can temporarily store a large number of trays 2400. After the temporary storage line 2810 receives the trays 2400, it transfers the trays 2400 and moves them to the end of the temporary storage line 2810 away from the second transfer mechanism 2900, so that the temporary storage line 2810 can hold more trays 2400.

[0216] Specifically, the temporary storage line 2810 includes a second conveyor belt and a third drive unit 2820, which drives the second conveyor belt to transport the material tray along a second direction. The third drive unit 2820 uses a linear servo motor.

[0217] In this embodiment, the temporary storage line 2810 transports the tray 2400 along the first direction. In other embodiments, the temporary storage line 2810 may also transport the tray 2400 along other directions.

[0218] It should be understood that, in this embodiment, temporary storage lines 2810 are provided below both the first conveyor line 2510a and the second conveyor line 2510b. Thus, when there are many material trays 2400 on the first conveyor line 2510a, the excess material trays 2400 on the first conveyor line 2510a can be transferred to their corresponding temporary storage lines 2810. Similarly, when the sorting module 4000 is full, the excess material trays 2400 on the second conveyor line 2510b can be transferred to their corresponding temporary storage lines 2810.

[0219] In other embodiments, the temporary storage line 2810 may be provided only below the first conveyor line 2510a or the second conveyor line 2510b. Furthermore, the temporary storage line 2810 may also be provided along the side of the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b; this is not limited here.

[0220] Specifically, refer to Figure 20 and Figure 26 The temporary storage line 2810 is located below the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b. The second transfer mechanism 2900 is located at the end of the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b away from the tray transfer device 2000a. The second transfer mechanism 2900 includes a transfer part 2910, a fourth drive part 2920, a second mounting base 2930, and a lifting module 2940. The transfer part 2910 is disposed on the second mounting base 2930. The fourth drive part 2920 is driven and connected to the transfer part 2910, and the lifting module 2940 is driven and connected to the second mounting base 2930, for connecting the transfer part 2910 to the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b or the temporary storage line 2810. Specifically, the transfer part 2910 is a belt assembly.

[0221] Specifically, the fourth drive unit 2920 can be a motor or a combination of a speed reducer and a motor.

[0222] The material trays 2400 on the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b need to be transferred to the temporary storage line 2810. Specifically, the lifting module 2940, through the second mounting base 2930, moves the transfer unit 2910 to a position opposite to the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b. The fourth drive unit 2920 drives the transfer unit 2910 to rotate, thereby transferring the material trays 2400 onto the transfer unit 2910. Then, the lifting module 2940 lowers the second mounting base 2930, causing the transfer unit 2910 to move to a position opposite to the temporary storage line 2810. The fourth drive unit 2920 then drives the transfer unit 2910 to rotate, thereby transferring the material trays 2400 onto the temporary storage line 2810.

[0223] It should be noted that both the transfer section 2910 and the temporary storage line 2810 are capable of forward and reverse transfer of the material tray 2400.

[0224] When it is necessary to transport the tray 2400 on the temporary storage line 2810 to the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b, the tray 2400 is returned to the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b by the transfer unit 2910 in conjunction with the lifting module 2940.

[0225] It should be noted that the end of the transfer unit 2910 that is away from the temporary storage line 2810 can be connected to the sorting module 4000.

[0226] When it is necessary to transport the tray 2400 on the temporary storage line 2810 to the sorting module 4000, after the transfer unit 2910 obtains the tray 2400 on the temporary storage line 2810 below the second conveyor line 2510b, the transfer unit 2910 rises to dock with the sorting module 4000 through the lifting module 2940, and the transfer unit 2910 transports the tray 2400 to the sorting module 4000 through the fourth drive unit 2920.

[0227] It is understandable that by distributing the temporary storage line 2810 and the first conveyor line 2510a / second conveyor line 2510b vertically, and cooperating with the lifting module 2940 and the material transfer unit 2910, the space occupied by the equipment is reduced.

[0228] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 The moving mechanism 2200 includes a moving drive assembly 2210, a base 2230 and a fixing block 2220. The fixing block 2220 forms a groove, and the bottom end of the fixing block 2220 is disposed on the base 2230. The moving drive assembly 2210 is inserted into the groove and is used to drive the first material loading mechanism 2100 to move along the second direction.

[0229] Understandably, the base 2230 is formed of aluminum strips or other metals and is used to support the mobile drive assembly 2210. The fixing block 2220 is set on the base 2230. The mobile drive assembly 2210 is fixed on the base 2230 by snapping the mobile drive assembly 2210 into the groove of the fixing block 2220.

[0230] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 17 The moving mechanism 2200 includes a moving plate 2240, a first slide block 2250 and a first guide rod 2260. The first material loading mechanism 2100 is disposed on the moving plate 2240, the moving plate 2240 is disposed on the first slide block 2250, the first slide block 2250 is slidably connected to the first guide rod 2260, the first guide rod 2260 is disposed along a second direction, and the moving drive assembly 2210 drives the first slide block 2250 to slide along the first guide rod 2260.

[0231] It is understood that the moving drive assembly 2210 can drive the moving plate 2240 to slide along the second direction, so that the first slide block 2250 moves along the length direction of the first guide rod 2260. It should be understood that through the cooperation of the first guide rod 2260 and the first slide block 2250, the stability of the conveying can also be guaranteed when the first material loading mechanism 2100 is conveying over a long distance.

[0232] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 17 The first material loading mechanism 2100 also includes a guide rod 2160, which is located on both sides of the conveying section 2120.

[0233] Understandably, the guide rod 2160 extends in the first direction and can play a guiding role when the conveying unit 2120 conveys the material tray 2400, thereby improving the stability of the transmission.

[0234] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 17 and Figure 19 The conveying unit 2120 also includes a conveying wheel 2122 and a tension adjusting member 2123. The conveying unit 2120 is wound around the two conveying wheels 2122, and the tension adjusting member is used to adjust the distance between the two conveying wheels 2122.

[0235] Understandably, the conveyor wheels 2122 are located at both ends of the conveyor section 2120, and the tension of the conveyor section 2120 is adjusted by adjusting the distance between the two conveyor wheels 2122 through the tension adjusting member 2123. For example, the tension adjusting member 2123 includes an adjusting bolt.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
