The general transport mechanism moves in two directions and is equipped with a swing cylinder, a clamp and a vacuum suction cup, so that the transport mechanism can perform picking and pushing and pulling actions in multiple positions, so as to meet the needs of workpieces being able to be transferred between various material areas.

[0049] Traditional handling mechanisms generally use a structure composed of a cylinder and a slide, or a structure that uses a motor and a lead screw. This type of handling mechanism has the problems of occupying a large space, inaccurate positioning accuracy, and incompatibility of workpieces.

[0050] In order to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technology, the present invention provides a transport mechanism, which includes a clamping claw assembly, a vacuum suction cup assembly and a module assembly, the clamping claw assembly includes a clamping claw part, a clamping control part and a first mounting seat, the clamping control part is installed on the first mounting seat, the clamping control part is connected to the clamping claw part, and the clamping control part is used to control the clamping of the workpiece by the clamping claw part; the plane where the workpiece is located is perpendicular to the plane where the X-axis and the Y-axis are located; the vacuum suction cup assembly is connected to the first mounting seat for adsorbing the workpiece; the module assembly includes a first linear module and a second linear module connected to each other, the second linear module is connected to the first mounting seat, the first linear module is used to drive the second linear module to move along the X-axis direction, and the second linear module is used to drive the first mounting seat to move along the Y-axis direction, so that the clamping claw assembly and the vacuum suction cup assembly are driven by the cooperation of the first linear module and the second module to adjust their positions. The transport mechanism provided by the present application can not only improve the production efficiency of the dicing machine and reduce labor costs, but also reduce its occupied space due to its compact structural design, so that the transport mechanism has stronger practicality.

[0051] The following describes a transport mechanism and a dicing machine according to some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 6 A transport mechanism provided by the present invention is applied to a dicing machine, the transport mechanism includes a clamping jaw assembly 1, a vacuum suction cup assembly 2 and a module assembly 3, the clamping jaw assembly 1 includes a clamping jaw portion 101, a clamping control portion and a first mounting seat 103, the clamping control portion is mounted on the first mounting seat 103, the clamping control portion is connected to the clamping jaw portion 101, and the clamping control portion is used to control the clamping of the workpiece by the clamping jaw portion 101; the plane where the workpiece is located is perpendicular to the plane where the X-axis and the Y-axis are located; the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 is connected to the first mounting seat 103 and is used to adsorb the workpiece; the module assembly 3 includes a first linear module 301 and a second linear module 302 connected to each other, the second linear module 302 is connected to the first mounting seat 103, the first linear module 301 is used to drive the second linear module 302 to move along the X-axis direction, and the second linear module 302 is used to drive the first mounting seat 103 to move along the Y-axis direction, so that the clamping jaw assembly 1 and the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 are adjusted in position under the cooperation and drive of the first linear module 301 and the second linear module 302.

[0053] Here, after the workpiece is clamped by the clamping claw part 101, the workpiece can be perpendicular to the plane where the X-axis and the Y-axis are located, wherein the direction of the X-axis can be a direction parallel to the horizontal direction, and the direction of the Y-axis can be a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction; the height of the plane on which the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 adsorbs the workpiece is lower than the height of the clamping part; wherein the first linear module 301 and the second linear module 302 are connected by a module mounting plate 303; the first linear module 301 is arranged on the transport arm assembly plate.

[0054] It should be noted that when the conveying mechanism conveys the workpiece, the controller of the conveying mechanism obtains the height of the target position to which the workpiece is to be conveyed and the current height of the workpiece, and compares the height of the target position with the current height of the workpiece. If the height of the target position is greater than the current height of the workpiece, then when the workpiece moves along the X-axis with the clamping jaw part 101 driven by the module assembly 3 to one end contacting the target position, the controller controls the clamping control part to release the clamping jaw part 101 from the workpiece, and then controls the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 to move to the adsorption position of the workpiece, so that after the workpiece is adsorbed by the vacuum suction cup assembly 2, it moves to the target position driven by the module assembly 3; wherein, the target position is the position of the material area of ​​the dicing machine.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting up the clamping jaw assembly 1, the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 and the module assembly 3, it can be realized that the conveying mechanism can control the clamping jaw assembly 1 or the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 to convey the workpiece through the module assembly 3, thereby reducing the reliance on labor when conveying the workpiece, so as to improve the conveying efficiency of the workpiece on the dicing machine; at the same time, by connecting the clamping jaw assembly 1 and the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 to each other, and making the module assembly 3 drive the clamping jaw assembly 1 and the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 to move simultaneously along the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction, the spatial size of the conveying mechanism can be reduced. It can be seen that the conveying mechanism provided in the present application can not only improve the production efficiency of the dicing machine equipped with the conveying mechanism and reduce labor costs, but also reduce the occupied space due to its compact structural design, so that the conveying mechanism has stronger practicality.

[0056] In some possible implementations, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The clamping jaw portion 101 includes a first clamping piece 1011 and a second clamping piece 1012. The first clamping piece 1011 includes a first sheet 1011a, a first clamping end 1011b and a side baffle 1011c. The first sheet 1011a is fixedly connected to the clamping control portion. The first clamping end 1011b is arranged along the Z-axis direction and connected to the side of the first sheet 1011a. The two side baffles 1011c are arranged along the X-axis direction and are respectively connected to the side portions of the first sheet 1011a. When the clamping jaw portion 101 clamps a workpiece, the ends of the two side baffles 1011c close to the first clamping end 1011b can respectively contact the workpiece to limit the workpiece. The clamped area; the second clamp 1012 includes a second sheet 1012a and a second clamping end 1012b, the second sheet 1012a is located below the first sheet 1011a, and is connected to the clamping control unit; the second clamping end 1012b is arranged along the Z-axis direction and is connected to the side of the second sheet 1012a, and the second clamping end 1012b is located directly below the first clamping end 1011b; a clamping gap for clamping the workpiece is formed between the first clamping end 1011b and the second clamping end 1012b, and the size of the clamping gap changes as the clamping control unit drives the second sheet 1012a to approach or move away from the first sheet 1011a.

[0057] The Z-axis direction may be a direction perpendicular to the plane where the X-axis and the Y-axis are located.

[0058] Here, a layer of anti-slip pad 1013 is provided on the side surfaces of the first clamping end 1011b and the second clamping end 1012b which are arranged opposite to each other. When the first clamping end 1011b and the second clamping end 1012b cooperate to clamp the workpiece, the anti-slip pad 1013 on the first clamping end 1011b contacts the upper surface of the workpiece, and the anti-slip pad 1013 on the second clamping end 1012b contacts the lower surface of the workpiece, so that the workpiece is stably clamped between the first clamping end 1011b and the second clamping end 1012b.

[0059] It should be noted that the first sheet 1011a and the second sheet 1012a are both arranged parallel to the horizontal plane, the length of the first clamping end 1011b is smaller than the length of the side of the first sheet 1011a connected to the first clamping end 1011b, the length of the second clamping end 1012b is smaller than the length of the side of the second sheet 1012a connected to the second clamping end 1012b, and the central axis of the first clamping end 1011b and the central axis of the first sheet 1011a are located on the same straight line, and the central axis of the second clamping end 1012b and the central axis of the second sheet 1012a are located on the same straight line.

[0060] When the clamping jaw part 101 is controlled to clamp the workpiece, the second sheet 1012a is driven by the clamping control part to move closer to the first sheet 1011a to reduce the clamping gap, so that the workpiece is clamped by the first clamping end 1011b and the second clamping end 1012b; when the clamping jaw part 101 is released from clamping the workpiece, the second sheet 1012a is driven by the clamping control part to move away from the first sheet 1011a to increase the size of the clamping gap, so that the workpiece is released from the clamping of the first clamping end 1011b and the second clamping end 1012b.

[0061] In this embodiment, by setting a side baffle 1011c along the X-axis direction and connecting the side baffle 1011c to the two side portions of the first sheet 1011a, when the clamping jaw 101 pushes the workpiece to move, it is not necessary to control the clamping jaw 101 to clamp the workpiece through the clamping control unit. The first clamping end 1011b and the second clamping end 1012b are only moved toward the side of the workpiece until the side baffle 1011c contacts the workpiece, and then the first linear module is used to control the clamping jaw 101 to clamp the workpiece. 301 drives the clamping jaw part 101 to move along the X-axis direction, so as to push the workpiece; when pulling the workpiece, the first clamping end 1011b and the second clamping end 1012b can be moved toward the side of the workpiece until the side baffle 1011c contacts the workpiece, and then the clamping control part is used to control the clamping jaw part 101 to clamp the workpiece, so that the workpiece can be clamped by the clamping jaw part 101 when it is only in contact with the first clamping end 1011b and the second clamping end 1012b.

[0062] Furthermore, the clamping control part includes a cylinder 102, which includes a cylinder barrel and a guide rod. The guide rod is installed on the cylinder barrel and can freely extend and retract along the Y-axis direction under the action of the air pressure in the cylinder barrel; the first sheet 1011a is connected to the bottom of the cylinder barrel, and the guide rod passes through the first sheet 1011a and is driven and connected to the second sheet 1012a, so that the guide rod drives the second sheet 1012a to move closer to or away from the first sheet 1011a.

[0063] It should be noted that in order to prevent the guide rod from rotating after the telescopic movement, a guide sleeve is provided on the side of the first sheet 1011a close to the second sheet 1012a, and one end of the guide rod is connected to the second sheet 1012a after passing through the guide sleeve, so that the guide rod can keep moving along the Y-axis direction under the guidance of the guide sleeve, wherein a loosening sleeve 1012c is provided at the connection between the guide rod and the second sheet 1012a, and the loosening sleeve 1012c is used to prevent the guide rod of the cylinder 102 from rotating.

[0064] Here, by connecting the guide rod of the cylinder 102 with the second sheet 1012a, the second sheet 1012a can be moved along the Y-axis direction under the extension and contraction of the guide rod to change the size of the clamping gap.

[0065] In some possible embodiments, the clamping jaw assembly 1 also includes a first connecting plate 104, and one side surface of the first connecting plate 104 is connected to the clamping control part; the first mounting seat 103 includes a mounting plate 1031, an axis mounting support 1032 and a guide shaft 1033, and the mounting plate 1031 is connected to the second linear module 302; the axis mounting support 1032 is arranged on the mounting plate 1031; the guide shaft 1033 is arranged on the axis mounting support 1032, and the guide shaft 1033 is arranged along the X-axis direction; the first connecting plate 104 is movably connected to the guide shaft 1033, and the first connecting plate 104 can move along the length direction of the guide shaft 1033; the first connecting plate 104 has a first position and a second position, the first position is the position of the first connecting plate 104 corresponding to the workpiece clamped by the clamping jaw part 101 when there is no collision, and the second position is the position of the first connecting plate 104 corresponding to the workpiece clamped by the clamping jaw part 101 when there is a collision.

[0066] Here, a U-shaped long hole may be opened on the first connecting plate 104, and the length direction of the U-shaped long hole is parallel to the Y-axis direction. The clamping control part is adjustably connected to the first connecting plate 104 through the cooperation of the U-shaped long hole and bolts to achieve the position adjustment of the clamping jaw part 101 in the Y-axis direction; the clamping position of the clamping jaw part 101 on the workpiece is located on the side of the clamping jaw part 101 away from the first connecting plate 104.

[0067] It should be noted that the shaft mounting support 1032 may include a first mounting block 1032a and a second mounting block 1032b that are relatively arranged, the first end of the guide shaft 1033 is connected to the first mounting block 1032a, and the second end of the guide shaft 1033 is connected to the second mounting block 1032b; a linear bearing is provided on the first connecting plate 104, and the linear bearing can pass through the guide shaft 1033, so that the first connecting plate 104 can move along the length direction of the guide shaft 1033 under the cooperation between the linear bearing and the guide shaft 1033, thereby realizing the movement of the first connecting plate 104 along the X-axis direction.

[0068] Among them, the first end of the guide shaft 1033 is located on the side of the first connecting plate 104 where the clamping control part is provided, and the second end of the guide shaft 1033 is located on the side of the first connecting plate 104 away from the clamping control part; the distance between the first connecting plate 104 in the first position and the second end of the guide shaft 1033 is greater than the distance between the first connecting plate 104 in the second position and the second end of the guide shaft 1033.

[0069] In this embodiment, by movably connecting the first connecting plate 104 connected to the clamping control part with the guide shaft 1033 provided on the mounting plate 1031, the first connecting plate 104 can be moved along the length direction of the guide shaft 1033, so that when the workpiece clamped on the clamping jaw part 101 collides, the first connecting plate 104 moves from the first position to the second position to prevent damage due to collision during the process of the clamping jaw assembly 1 pushing the workpiece.

[0070] Furthermore, a spring 1034 is mounted on the guide shaft 1033, and the spring 1034 is located on a side of the first connecting plate 104 away from the clamping control portion; when the spring 1034 is in an extended state, the first connecting plate 104 is located at the first position; when the first connecting plate 104 is in the second position, the spring 1034 is used to provide a rebound force to the first connecting plate 104 to move toward the first position.

[0071] It should be noted that the spring 1034 is located on the side of the first connecting plate 104 away from the clamping control portion. It can be understood that before the clamping jaw assembly 1 pushes the workpiece clamped by the clamping jaw portion 101, the spring 1034 is located on the side of the first connecting plate 104 away from the workpiece.

[0072] In this embodiment, the spring 1034 is located on a side of the first connecting plate 104 away from the clamping control portion, and when the spring 1034 is in an extended state, the first connecting plate 104 is located at the first position, and when the first connecting plate 104 is in the second position, the spring 1034 provides a rebound force to the first connecting plate 104 to move toward the first position, so that when the workpiece clamped by the clamping claw portion 101 is released from collision, the first connecting plate 104 automatically moves from the second position to the first position under the action of the rebound force of the spring 1034.

[0073] Furthermore, the first mounting seat 103 also includes a photoelectric switch 1035 and a photoelectric baffle 1036. The photoelectric switch 1035 is installed on the shaft mounting support 1032 and is located on the side of the first connecting plate 104 away from the clamping control part; the photoelectric baffle 1036 is connected to the side of the first connecting plate 104 away from the clamping control part; when the first connecting plate 104 moves to the second position, the photoelectric baffle 1036 blocks the photoelectric switch 1035 and triggers a sensing signal; the conveying mechanism also includes a controller. When the photoelectric baffle 1036 triggers a sensing signal to the photoelectric switch 1035, the controller is used to control the first linear module 301 to stop driving the second linear module 302 to move along the X-axis direction in the direction of pushing the workpiece.

[0074] Here, there can be two guide shafts 1033; the photoelectric baffle 1036 is connected to the side of the first connecting plate 104 away from the clamping control part, and is located between the two guide shafts 1033; the photoelectric switch 1035 can be fixed to the second mounting block 1032b by bolts; when the photoelectric baffle 1036 blocks the photoelectric switch 1035 and triggers the sensing signal, the controller is also used to control the alarm module to alarm, so as to remind the staff to check the jamming or collision of the workpiece.

[0075] In this embodiment, by setting the photoelectric switch 1035 and the photoelectric baffle 1036, when the workpiece collides, the photoelectric baffle 1036 can block the photoelectric switch 1035 and trigger the sensing signal, so that after receiving the sensing signal, the controller immediately controls the first linear module 301 to stop driving the second linear module 302 to move along the X-axis direction toward the direction of pushing the workpiece, so as to stop the clamping jaw assembly 1 from pushing the workpiece, thereby preventing the workpiece from being damaged due to jamming or collision.

[0076] Furthermore, the controller includes a workpiece pushing control module, a clamping jaw part 101 position adjustment module and a vacuum suction cup assembly 2 control module. The workpiece pushing control module is used to control the first linear module 301 to stop driving the second linear module 302 to move when the photoelectric baffle 1036 triggers an induction signal to the photoelectric switch 1035, and control the clamping control part to release the clamping of the workpiece by the clamping jaw part 101; the clamping jaw part 101 position adjustment module is used to control the first linear module 301 to drive the second linear module 302 to move along the X-axis direction away from the workpiece after the clamping control part releases the clamping jaw part 101 from the workpiece, so as to move the clamping jaw part 101 away from the workpiece; the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 control module is used to control the first linear module 301 and the second linear module 302 to drive the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 to move after the clamping jaw part 101 is away from the workpiece, until the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 moves to the position for adsorbing the workpiece, so that the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 adsorbs the workpiece.

[0077] In this embodiment, when the photoelectric baffle 1036 triggers an induction signal to the photoelectric switch 1035, the workpiece pushing control module is used to control the first linear module 301 to stop driving the second linear module 302 to move, and stop the clamping assembly 1 from pushing the workpiece. After the clamping control unit is controlled to release the clamping of the workpiece by the clamping jaw 101, the first linear module 301 is controlled by the clamping jaw 101 position adjustment module to drive the second linear module 302 to move along the X-axis direction away from the workpiece, so that the clamping jaw 101 is away from the workpiece; finally, the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 control module is used to control the first linear module 301 and the second linear module 302 to move until the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 moves to the position where the workpiece is adsorbed, so that the workpiece that cannot be pushed by the clamping jaw 101 is adsorbed by the vacuum suction cup assembly 2, and then the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 is driven to move by controlling the first linear module 301 and the second linear module 302, so that the workpiece is placed at the target position as the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 moves, thereby completing the handling of the workpiece.

[0078] In some possible implementations, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The vacuum suction cup assembly 2 includes a second mounting seat 201, a second connecting plate 202 and a suction cup portion 203. The second mounting seat 201 is connected to the first mounting seat 103; the second connecting plate 202 is installed on the second mounting seat 201, and the length direction of the second connecting plate 202 is parallel to the X-axis direction; the suction cup portion 203 is arranged near the end of the second connecting plate 202, and the suction cup portion 203 is connected to the second connecting plate 202 in an adjustable position.

[0079] Here, two ends of the second mounting seat 201 are respectively connected to a second connecting plate 202, so the vacuum assembly here is provided with four suction cups 203, and the adsorption surfaces of the four suction cups 203 are located on the same plane and are parallel to the plane where the workpiece is located.

[0080] In this embodiment, by setting the suction cup part 203 close to the end of the second connecting plate 202 and connecting the suction cup part 203 to the second connecting plate 202 in an adjustable position, the position of the suction cup part 203 on the second connecting plate 202 can be adjusted according to the size of the workpiece, so that the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 can adsorb workpieces of different sizes, thereby improving the adaptability of the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 to the workpiece.

[0081] Furthermore, two clamping blocks 204 are detachably mounted on the second connecting plate 202 . The two clamping blocks 204 are used to abut against two sides of the second mounting seat 201 to fix the second connecting plate 202 on the second mounting seat 201 .

[0082] Here, the clamping block 204 is detachably fixed on the second connecting plate 202 by bolts.

[0083] In this embodiment, two clamping blocks 204 are detachably installed on the second connecting plate 202, so that the second connecting plate 202 can be installed on the second mounting seat 201 under the action of the two clamping blocks 204 correspondingly abutting on both sides of the second mounting seat 201. While achieving installation flexibility between the second connecting plate 202 and the second mounting seat 201, the installation position of the second connecting plate 202 on the second mounting seat 201 can be adjusted according to the size of the workpiece, so that the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 can adsorb workpieces of different sizes, thereby improving the adaptability of the vacuum suction cup assembly 2 to the workpiece.

[0084] Furthermore, the second connecting plate 202 is provided with an adjustment hole 205 near the end thereof, and the length direction of the adjustment hole 205 is parallel to the X-axis direction; the suction cup portion 203 is connected to the second connecting plate 202 in an adjustable manner through the adjustment hole 205 .

[0085] Here, the suction cup portion 203 can move along the length direction of the adjusting long hole 205 , and the suction cup portion 203 can be adjustably fixed on the second connecting plate 202 through the matching position of the bolt and the adjusting long hole 205 .
