[0109] Example 4

[0110] Please refer to Figures 5-7 This embodiment also discloses a robot workstation, including:

[0111] The loading port can adopt a standard loading port storage location of the roller shutter door as any one of the above embodiments.

[0112] The material frame 301 is accommodated in the loading port and used for placing workpieces to be processed.

[0113] The robot 302 is arranged adjacent to the loading port, and the robot 302 is provided with a gripper 303 for grabbing workpieces from the material frame 301 and transferring to the unloading table 304.

[0114] The camera 305 is arranged on the loading port and used for recording the state of the material frame 301 and the workpieces.

[0115] The electrical support 306 is electrically connected with the loading port, the robot 302 and the camera 305.

[0116] In the embodiment, the chassis assembly 1, the door frame assembly 2, the side fence assembly 3, the roller shutter door assembly 4, the internal fence assembly 5 and the electrical module assembly 6 required by a single loading port are standardized and integrated, modular design is achieved, rapid import is realized, the rapid combination and construction of the station body can be realized, the integration efficiency of the work line body formed by multiple loading ports in the workshop is improved, the debugging cost is reduced, and the debugging time is shortened.

[0117] In one of the optional embodiments of the present application, two parallel loading ports form a feeding area corresponding to one kind of workpiece, and the same kind of workpiece is stored in the material frame 301 in the two loading ports to ensure the production rhythm.

[0118] The feeding area is provided with at least one; or when multiple feeding areas are provided, the multiple feeding areas are arranged around the robot 302.

[0119] In the embodiment, when the work station contains one feeding area (one kind of workpiece) formed by two loading ports, the gripper 303 continuously grabs workpieces from the material frame 301 of one of the loading ports and then places the workpieces on the unloading table 304. The camera 305 records the state of the material frame 301 and the workpieces, and when there is no workpiece, a feedback signal is fed back, and the other material frame 301 is switched to, and the gripper 303 automatically grabs the workpiece from the material frame 301 with the workpiece, without affecting the production line rhythm. When the material frame 301 is switched, the operator gives a signal to the roller shutter door assembly 4 from the outside, the roller shutter door and the internal fence of the storage location are raised, the worker pushes the material frame 301 to the position, the locking cylinder locks the material frame 301, the worker exits the detection area of the roller shutter door, the roller shutter door and the internal fence are lowered, the camera 305 records the state of the material frame 301 and the workpieces, and feeds back to the robot 302.

[0120] Please refer to Figure 5In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the standard library position is assembled into a robot workstation with six loading ports. The station body is designed as a fixed robot 302. The gripper 303 picks up the workpiece from the frame 301 and then places it on the lower workbench 304. The frame 301 can be designed as 2 / 4 / 6 according to the needs, corresponding to 1 / 2 / 3 kinds of workpiece loading. Two frames 301 are set for each kind of workpiece to avoid affecting the production rhythm due to no workpiece in the frame 301.

[0121] In this embodiment, the frame 301 is manually pushed to the loading library position (or the AGV carries the frame 301); the operator (or AGV) leaves the lifting area corresponding to the roller shutter door assembly 4, and the roller shutter door is lowered; the camera 305 recognizes the workpiece state and feeds back to the PLC, guiding the gripper 303 to pick and place the workpiece. The electrical support 306 includes HMI (Human-Machine Interface, human-machine interaction interface, used for control, monitoring and interaction with machines or systems) and vision industrial computer, reducing hardware cost. The roller shutter door is in the raised state only when the operator (or AGV) needs to pull out or push in the frame 301 for a period of time, and remains in the lowered closed state at all other times. The station body can keep the personnel from entering the robot 302 working area.

[0122] Please refer to Figure 6 In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the standard library position is assembled into a robot workstation with four loading ports. The operation process is similar to that of the robot workstation with six loading ports.

[0123] Please refer to Figure 7 In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the standard library position is assembled into a robot workstation with two loading ports. The operation process is similar to that of the robot workstation with six loading ports.

[0124] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation based on the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
