[0051] To achieve the above purpose, please refer to Figures 1 to 8As shown, the present invention proposes a laser production line 100, which includes a plurality of laser processing equipment 1 and a plurality of transfer equipment 2. The plurality of laser processing equipment 1 are arranged at intervals along a straight line, and each laser processing equipment 1 includes a first track 11 and a second track 12 arranged in parallel. The transfer equipment 2 has an inlet end and an outlet end. Each transfer equipment 2 is arranged between two laser processing equipment 1, and the inlet end and the outlet end correspond to a laser processing equipment 1 respectively. The transfer equipment 2 is provided with a movable transfer mechanism 22; wherein the transfer mechanism 22 is connected to the first track 11 or the second track 12 of the laser processing equipment 1 at the inlet end, and is connected to the first track 11 or the second track 12 of the laser processing equipment 1 at the outlet end, so as to be used for loading or unloading the laser processing equipment 1.

[0052] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the laser production line 100 includes a plurality of laser processing equipment 1, and the plurality of laser processing equipment 1 are connected in series to operate simultaneously. The laser processing equipment 1 can be a laser welding equipment, a laser cutting equipment, a laser marking equipment, etc. The laser processing equipment 1 also includes a main structure, which includes but is not limited to a loading device, a processing device with a laser, a positioning device with visual positioning, a unloading device and a transfer device. The loading device is used to transmit the product to be processed to the laser processing equipment 1, and the transfer device transfers the electronic device to be processed to the positioning device. After being positioned by the positioning device, the electronic device is transferred to the processing device through the transfer device. The processing device is provided with a laser, and the laser can perform laser processing on the product to form a finished product. The finished product is transferred to the unloading device through the transfer device to complete the laser processing of the electronic device.

[0053] In this embodiment, a plurality of laser processing devices 1 are arranged at intervals along a straight line, and a gap is formed between two adjacent laser processing devices 1, so that the transfer device 2 can be arranged in the gap, and the transfer device 2 is respectively connected with the two adjacent laser processing devices 1. Specifically, the transfer device 2 has an inlet end and an outlet end, and the transfer device 2 is connected with one laser processing device 1 at the inlet end, and the transfer device 2 is connected with another laser processing device 1 at the outlet end, so as to realize the mutual transfer of materials (materials are transferred in the form of trays, and the products to be processed and the products that have been processed are placed in the trays).

[0054] Furthermore, each laser processing device 1 includes a first track 11 and a second track 12, and the first track 11 and the second track 12 are arranged in parallel with each other, such as arranged in parallel with each other in the vertical direction or arranged in parallel with each other in the horizontal direction, which is not limited here. At the same time, the transfer device 2 is provided with a movable transfer mechanism 22. For example, the transfer device 2 is provided with a base 21, and the transfer mechanism 22 is slidably arranged relative to the base 21, and the direction in which the transfer mechanism 22 slides relative to the base 21 is consistent with the direction in which the first track 11 and the second track 12 are arranged in parallel with each other, that is, when the first track 11 and the second track 12 are arranged in parallel with each other in the vertical direction, the transfer mechanism 22 also slides relative to the base 21 in the vertical direction. Other arrangement directions of the first track 11 and the second track 12 are not repeated here.

[0055] It can be understood that the transfer mechanism 22 moves relative to the base 21 at the inlet end, and can be connected with the first track 11 or the second track 12 of the laser processing equipment 1 located upstream of the transfer equipment 2. The transfer mechanism 22 moves relative to the base 21 at the outlet end, and can be connected with the first track 11 or the second track 12 of the laser processing equipment 1 located downstream of the transfer equipment 2, thereby realizing the mutual transmission and transfer of materials between the two laser processing equipment 1, wherein the upstream is the position where the laser processing equipment 1 inputs the product to be processed or the finished product to the transfer equipment 2, and the downstream is the position where the transfer equipment 2 outputs the product to be processed or the finished product to the laser processing equipment 1.

[0056] Compared with traditional multi-device processing, each traditional laser processing equipment needs to be equipped with a loading mechanism and a unloading mechanism. At the same time, a certain number of operators are required to monitor the real-time status of the loading and unloading mechanisms in each laser processing equipment in real time, so as to replenish the products to be processed or take away the processed products in time to avoid equipment shortage or fullness. Not only do they need to set up loading and unloading equipment one by one, but they also need to be equipped with a large number of related auxiliary personnel, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0057] In the present application, multiple laser processing equipment 1 are connected by multiple transfer equipment 2 (each transfer equipment 2 is connected to two laser processing equipment 1 at the same time), so that unified loading and unloading can be achieved. It is only necessary to set a loading mechanism 4 at the head end of the laser production line 100 and set a unloading mechanism 5 at the end of the laser production line 100 to complete the loading and unloading of multiple laser processing equipment 1 arranged in series. Specifically, taking two laser processing equipment 1 and a transfer equipment 2 as an example, a transfer equipment 2 is arranged between the two laser processing equipment 1, and the two laser processing equipment 1 are respectively the first laser processing equipment and the second laser processing equipment, wherein the first track 11 of the first laser processing equipment is used to transport the first laser processing equipment The product to be processed is transported to the second laser processing equipment through the second track 12 in the first laser processing equipment. At this time, the second track 12 of the first laser processing equipment is connected to the transfer mechanism 22 to transport the product to be processed to the transfer mechanism 22, and the transfer mechanism 22 then transports the product to be processed to the first track 11 in the second laser processing equipment, so that the second laser processing equipment processes the product to be processed. The above is a process of loading materials into the two laser processing equipment 1 respectively on the basis of the two laser processing equipment 1, and the operation logic of multiple equipment will not be repeated here.

[0058] Furthermore, when the first laser processing equipment has processed products (i.e., finished products), the finished products can be transferred to the transfer mechanism 22, and transferred to the second track 12 of the second laser processing equipment through the transfer mechanism 22 to achieve unloading, and the finished products in the second laser processing equipment can be directly transferred through the unloading equipment to achieve unloading of the finished products, so that without affecting the normal processing of the second laser processing equipment, the unloading of the first laser processing equipment can be achieved through the second track 12, effectively improving the processing efficiency of multiple laser processing equipment 1 arranged in series.

[0059] The laser production line 100 of the present invention includes a plurality of laser processing equipment 1 and a plurality of transfer equipment 2. The plurality of laser processing equipment 1 are arranged at intervals along a straight line. Each laser processing equipment 1 includes a first track 11 and a second track 12 arranged in parallel. The transfer equipment 2 has an inlet end and an outlet end. Each transfer equipment 2 is arranged between two laser processing equipment 1, and the inlet end and the outlet end are each arranged corresponding to a laser processing equipment 1. The transfer equipment 2 is provided with a movable transfer mechanism 22. The transfer mechanism 22 can be connected to the first track 11 or the second track 12 of the laser processing equipment 1 located at the inlet end and the outlet end for loading or unloading the laser processing equipment 1. The first track 11 and the second track 12 in the plurality of laser processing equipment 1 are connected in series by using the transfer mechanism 22 to realize the series connection of the plurality of laser processing equipment 1. On the basis of forming a production line, each laser processing equipment 1 can be loaded and unloaded autonomously, thereby effectively improving production efficiency.

[0060] In one embodiment, the laser processing equipment 1 further includes a processing position, which is connected to the first track 11. The first track 11 is used to transport the product to be processed to each processing position of the laser processing equipment 1; the second track 12 is used to transfer the product to be processed or the finished product.

[0061] It can be understood that the laser processing equipment 1 includes a laser, and the laser processing equipment 1 is provided with a processing position corresponding to the laser. When the product to be processed is transferred to the processing position, the laser is laser processed (such as laser welding, etc.) by the laser. At the same time, the first track 11 is connected to the processing position, that is, the products to be processed all enter the processing position from the first track 11, so that the products to be processed are laser processed by the current laser processing equipment 1, and the second track 12 can, on the one hand, transfer the products to be processed for the downstream laser processing equipment 1 (the upstream and downstream refer to the laser processing equipment 1 located at the inlet end and the laser processing equipment 1 at the outlet end of the same transfer equipment 2), and on the other hand, it can also transfer the products that have been processed for the upstream laser processing equipment 1.

[0062] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the laser processing equipment 1 has a waiting-to-be-processed state and a full processing state. In the waiting-to-be-processed state, the first track 11 is used to transfer the product to be processed to the processing position; in the full processing state, the laser processing equipment 1 is used to transfer the product to be processed to the transfer mechanism 22 through the second track 12, and the transfer mechanism 22 transfers the product to be processed to the first track 11 of the next adjacent laser processing equipment 1.

[0063] In this embodiment, each laser processing equipment 1 has a waiting state and a full processing state. When the laser processing equipment 1 is in the waiting state, it has idle production capacity and can accept the products to be processed into the first track 11, and allow the products to be processed to gradually enter the processing position for laser processing. When the laser processing equipment 1 is in the full processing state, the products to be processed will enter the second track 12. At this time, the transfer mechanism 22 is connected to the second track 12 of the laser processing equipment 1, so that the products to be processed enter the transfer mechanism 22, and the products to be processed are transferred to the first track 11 of the downstream laser processing equipment 1 through the transfer mechanism 22, so as to enter the processing position of the downstream laser processing equipment 1, so that the downstream laser processing equipment 1 starts to perform laser processing on the processed products.

[0064] It can be understood that the laser production line 100 in the present application can reasonably allocate the products to be processed by determining the status of the current laser processing equipment 1. For example, when the current laser processing equipment 1 is in a full processing state, the products to be processed can be transferred to the first track 11 of the downstream laser processing equipment 1 through the cooperation of the second track 12 and the transfer mechanism 22. On the basis of not affecting the normal processing of the current laser processing equipment 1, the downstream laser processing equipment 1 can be normally loaded with materials. Moreover, it is not limited to the number of laser processing equipment 1, and materials can be loaded from front to back in sequence to ensure that the laser production and material transfer of each laser processing equipment 1 can operate normally, thereby effectively improving production efficiency.

[0065] In one embodiment, the laser processing equipment 1 also has a material unloading state. In the material unloading state, the laser processing equipment 1 transfers the finished product to the transfer mechanism 22, and the transfer mechanism 22 transfers the finished product to the second track 12 of the plurality of laser processing equipment 1 at the rear end.

[0066] It can be understood that the laser processing equipment 1 also has a unloading state. After the current laser processing equipment 1 performs laser processing on the product to form a finished product, the transfer mechanism 22 can be connected to the first track 11, so that the finished product located in the first track 11 enters the transfer mechanism 22. At this time, the transfer mechanism 22 is moved to connect the transfer mechanism 22 with the second track 12 of the laser processing equipment 1 located adjacent to the downstream, and the transfer and unloading of the finished product are realized through the second track 12 of the downstream laser processing equipment 1. With this arrangement, the second track 12 can not only transfer the products to be processed but also the finished products with the cooperation of the transfer mechanism 22, thereby effectively improving the use frequency of the second track 12, the transfer efficiency of the second track 12, and the production efficiency of the laser processing equipment 1 and the overall laser production line 100.

[0067] In one embodiment, if Figures 3 to 8As shown, the spacing arrangement direction of the first track 11 and the second track 12 is defined as a first direction, the transfer equipment 2 includes a base 21, a transfer mechanism 22 and a transfer mechanism 23, the transfer mechanism 22 is slidably arranged on the base 21 and is located at the inlet end, the transfer mechanism 22 is provided with a transfer track 223, the transfer mechanism 23 is arranged on the base 21 and is located at the outlet end, the transfer mechanism 23 includes two transfer tracks 234, one transfer track 234 is connected to the first track 11, and the other transfer track 234 is connected to the second track 12; wherein, the extension direction of the transfer track 223 is the same as the extension direction of the first track 11 and the second track 12, and the transfer mechanism 22 slides along the first direction relative to the base 21 so that the transfer track 223 is connected to one of the two transfer tracks 234.

[0068] In this embodiment, the transfer equipment 2 includes a base 21, a transfer mechanism 22 and a material transfer mechanism 23. The base 21 is a structural support component of the transfer equipment 2. The base 21 can be a substrate, a frame, a mounting frame, a mounting table and other structures. At the same time, the base 21 is used to carry and install the transfer mechanism 22 and the material transfer mechanism 23. Furthermore, the transfer mechanism 22 is slidably arranged on the base 21. For example, the base 21 is provided with a slide rail in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, and the transfer mechanism 22 is provided with a slider corresponding to the slide rail, so that the transfer mechanism 22 can move in a straight line direction relative to the base 21, and the transfer mechanism 22 can also approach or move away from the material transfer mechanism 23 fixed on the base 21.

[0069] It can be understood that the sliding direction of the transfer mechanism 22 relative to the base 21 is arranged along a straight line. At the same time, its sliding direction is the same as the spacing arrangement direction of the first track 11 and the second track 12, that is, the sliding direction of the transfer mechanism 22 relative to the base 21 is also the first direction, wherein the first direction can be set along the vertical direction or along a certain direction in the horizontal plane. Furthermore, the two material transfer tracks 234 are also arranged along the first direction, so that when the transfer mechanism 22 slides along the first direction relative to the base 21, the transfer track 223 can be connected to one of the two material transfer tracks 234, so that the transfer mechanism 22 can transfer and distribute the material tray located on the transfer track 223 to one of the material transfer tracks 234, and further transport the material tray to the correspondingly connected laser processing equipment 1 through the material transfer track 234, so as to realize the adjustment and distribution of the material tray and effectively improve the production efficiency.

[0070] It can be understood that the transfer mechanism 22 is provided with a transfer track 223, and the transfer mechanism 22 is used to receive the material tray (the material tray carries the product to be processed or the finished product) that enters the transfer equipment 2 from the first track 11 and the second track 12 of the laser processing equipment 1 located at the import end, that is, the material tray is carried by the transfer track 223. At the same time, a conveyor belt structure or a double-speed chain structure is provided on the transfer track 223, so as to be able to convey the material tray along the extension direction of the transfer track 223, thereby realizing the transfer of the material tray.

[0071] In this embodiment, the material transfer mechanism 23 is arranged on the base 21, and the material transfer mechanism 23 includes two material transfer tracks 234, wherein one material transfer track 234 is connected to the first track 11 of the laser processing equipment 1 located downstream, and the other material transfer track 234 is connected to the second track 12 of the laser processing equipment 1 located downstream. The two material transfer tracks 234 can be arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the first direction, and the spacing arrangement direction of the two material transfer tracks 234 is consistent with the sliding direction of the transfer mechanism 22 relative to the base 21, so that the transfer mechanism 22 can not only be arranged relative to the material transfer mechanism 23 and one of the material transfer tracks 234 in the material transfer mechanism 23 in a stationary state, but also after sliding relative to the base 21, the transfer track 223 can be connected to one of the two material transfer tracks 234 accordingly.

[0072] It can be understood that when the transfer mechanism 22 slides relative to the base 21, the transfer track 223 can move in the sliding direction and can be set corresponding to each material transfer track 234. After the transfer track 223 is set corresponding to one of the two material transfer tracks 234 and is interconnected, the transfer mechanism 22 transfers the material tray on the transfer track 223 to the material transfer track 234 through its conveyor belt structure or double-speed chain structure, and one material transfer track 234 is connected to the first track 11 of the laser processing equipment 1, and the other material transfer track 234 is connected to the second track 12 of the laser processing equipment 1, so that each material transfer track 234 can transfer the material tray to a laser processing equipment 1, thereby realizing the transfer and distribution of the material tray, so that the loading and material tray allocation of multiple laser processing equipment 1 can be realized through one transfer equipment 2, without the need to load each laser processing equipment 1 separately, effectively improving the overall production efficiency of the laser production line 100.

[0073] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the material transfer mechanism 23 includes a second mounting frame 231, a third driving member 232 and a transmission wheel group 233. The second mounting frame 231 is arranged on the base 21, the third driving member 232 is arranged on the second mounting frame 231, the transmission wheel group 233 is connected to the output end of the third driving member 232, and the transmission wheel group 233 forms a material transfer track 234. The direction in which the transmission wheel group 233 transmits the material tray is consistent with the direction in which the transfer mechanism 22 transmits the material tray.

[0074] It can be understood that the transmission wheel group 233 includes a main transmission wheel, a slave transmission wheel and a material transfer conveyor belt. The main transmission wheel is connected to the output end of the third driving member 232. The third driving member 232 is fixed on the second mounting frame 231. Multiple slave transmission wheels are arranged on the second mounting frame 231 at intervals along the extension of the transfer track 223 and the direction of transmitting the material tray. The material transfer conveyor belt is sequentially sleeved on the main transmission wheel and multiple slave transmission wheels, so that the third driving member 232 drives the material transfer conveyor belt to rotate, and drives the material tray to move through the third driving member 232 conveyor belt. Multiple slave transmission wheels and the material transfer conveyor belt are transferred to the material track 234, and the direction in which the material tray is transferred by the transfer track 234 is consistent with the direction in which the transfer mechanism 22 transfers the material tray, so that the transfer track 223 can be directly connected to the material transfer track 234 to achieve rapid transfer of the material tray.

[0075] In one embodiment, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the transfer mechanism 22 includes a support plate 221, a transfer track 223 and a first driving member 222. The support plate 221 is slidably disposed on the base 21, the transfer track 223 is slidably disposed on the support plate 221, the first driving member 222 is disposed on the support plate 221, and the output end of the first driving member 222 is connected to the transfer track 223; wherein, the sliding direction of the transfer track 223 relative to the support plate 221 is consistent with the extension direction of the first track 11 and the second track 12.

[0076] In this embodiment, the support plate 221 is a structural support component of the transfer mechanism 22. The support plate 221 is used to install and support the first driving member 222 and the transfer track 223. The base 21 is provided with a sliding mechanism arranged along the first direction. The support plate 221 is connected to the sliding mechanism through the side wall so that the support plate 221 and the transfer track 223 on the upper part thereof can slide relative to the base 21 along the first direction.

[0077] At the same time, a slide rail is provided on the support plate 221, and the extension direction of the slide rail is set from the direction away from the feeding mechanism 23 to the direction adjacent to the feeding mechanism 23, and is consistent with the extension direction of the feeding track 234, so that the transfer track 223 is slidably connected to the slide rail to slide relative to the support plate 221, and the output end of the first driving member 222 is connected to the transfer track 223. Through the first driving member 222, the transfer track 223 can be driven to slide relative to the support plate 221 along the direction of the slide rail, and the transfer track 223 can be close to or away from the feeding track 234.

[0078] It can be understood that the first driving member 222 can be a cylinder to directly push the transfer track 223 to move along the sliding direction of the slide rail. The first driving member 222 can also be a motor screw transmission structure, which drives the screw to rotate by the motor to make the transfer track 223 connected to the first driving member 222 move in a straight line. At the same time, the transfer track 223 can also be a synchronous belt transmission mechanism or a double-speed chain transmission structure, which is used to transfer the material tray to the storage position or the transfer track 234. Taking the synchronous belt transmission structure as an example, the driving member drives multiple synchronous pulleys to rotate, so that the synchronous belts wound around the multiple synchronous pulleys rotate, and the material tray located thereon is driven by the synchronous belt to move along the transfer track 223 to transport the material tray to the storage position 2421 or the transfer track 234.

[0079] It can be understood that the support plate 221 slides relative to the base 21, making the transfer mechanism 22 more flexible in transferring and transmitting the material tray, so that the transfer track 223 can move directly and connect with the transfer track 234 and the storage position, that is, the transfer track 223 can send the material tray directly into the transfer track 234 and the entrance of the storage position to achieve seamless docking, ensure the smooth transfer of the material tray, and improve the efficiency of material tray transfer and scheduling.

[0080] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the transfer mechanism 22 also includes a limiting module 224, which includes a second driving member 2241, a guide bar 2242 and a limiting block 2243. The second driving member 2241 is arranged on the support plate 221, and the guide bar 2242 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 2241. The guide bar 2242 is extended along the sliding direction of the transfer track 223 relative to the support plate 221, and the limiting block 2243 is arranged at the output end of the second driving member 2241. The limiting block 2243 is located at one end of the transfer track 223 adjacent to the material transfer mechanism 23; wherein, the second driving member 2241 drives the guide bar 2242 and the limiting block 2243 to approach or move away from the transfer track 223, and the guide bar 2242 and the limiting block 2243 are used to limit the material tray.

[0081] In this embodiment, the limiting module 224 is arranged at one end of the transfer track 223 adjacent to the feeding mechanism 23, and the limiting module 224 is provided with a mounting frame, which is arranged on the support plate 221, and the mounting frame extends in the direction away from the support plate 221, and is suspended above the side of the transfer track 223 away from the support plate 221, and the second driving member 2241 is arranged on the mounting frame and is located above the side of the transfer track 223 away from the support plate 221. At the same time, the guide bar 2242 and the limiting block 2243 are connected to the output end of the second driving member 2241. One guide bar 2242 can be set, or two guide bars 2242 can be set. Preferably, two guide bars 2242 are set, and the two guide bars 2242 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the sliding direction of the transfer track 223 relative to the support plate 221. The limiting block 2243 is arranged between the two guide bars 2242 and is located at one end of the two guide bars 2242 adjacent to the feeding mechanism 23.

[0082] It can be understood that the two guide bars 2242 and the limiting blocks 2243 at the ends together form a one-way opening limiting area 2244, which can limit the material tray conveyed on the transfer track 223 to prevent it from falling during the conveyance on the transfer track 223 and keep the material tray at the end of the transfer track 223. At the same time, the second driving member 2241 can drive the two guide bars 2242 and the limiting blocks 2243 to move closer to or away from the transfer track 223 in the vertical direction, so that when the transfer track 223 conveys the material tray, the second driving member 2241 The driving member 2241 drives the two guide bars 2242 and the limit blocks 2243 to approach the transfer track 223 to block the material tray. When the transfer track 223 is connected with the material transfer track 234 and the storage position to transfer the material tray, the second driving member 2241 drives the two guide bars 2242 and the limit blocks 2243 away from the transfer track 223 to release the material tray, thereby ensuring the precise limitation and positioning of the material tray on the transfer track 223, so as to improve the docking accuracy of the transfer track 223, the material transfer track 234 and the storage position 2421, and prevent the material tray from falling.

[0083] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the transfer equipment 2 also includes a storage mechanism 24, which is arranged on the base 21, and the storage mechanism 24 includes at least one storage position 2421, and the storage position 2421 is used to store the products to be processed or the finished products; wherein, the transfer mechanism 22 is used to transport the products to be processed or the finished products to the material transfer track 234 and / or the storage position 2421.

[0084] In this embodiment, the material storage mechanism 24 is used to store material trays. The material storage mechanism 24 can be connected to the material transfer mechanism 23, and can also be arranged on the base 21. At the same time, the material storage mechanism 24 and the material transfer mechanism 23 are arranged along the first direction. The material storage mechanism 24 includes at least one material storage position 2421. The material storage position 2421 can be a material storage plane or a material storage space. At the same time, the material storage position 2421 can be formed by a material storage table 242, a material storage plate or a material storage box, which is not limited here. Each material storage position 2421 can store one or more material trays. At the same time, each material storage position 2421 can store products to be processed or finished products that have been processed.

[0085] It can be understood that the material storage mechanism 24 and the material transfer mechanism 23 are arranged along the first direction, so that when the transfer mechanism 22 slides relative to the base 21, it can not only be set corresponding to the material transfer track 234 in the material transfer mechanism 23, but also can be set corresponding to the material storage position 2421 in the material storage mechanism 24, and the transfer track 223 can not only be connected to the material transfer track 234 to realize the transfer of the material tray, but also can be connected to the material storage position 2421 to transport the material tray to the material storage position 2421, so that the storage The material mechanism 24 stores material trays. When the production capacity of multiple laser processing equipment 1 is sufficient, some material trays and products can be temporarily stored through the material storage mechanism 24 as a buffer. After multiple laser processing equipment 1 have processed the current product, the transfer mechanism 22 can also call the material tray from the storage position 2421 of the material storage mechanism 24, and transport it to the laser processing equipment 1 again through the material transfer track 234, so as to reasonably call and store the material trays according to the processing status of the laser processing equipment 1 in real time, adapt to the production rhythm of the laser processing equipment 1, and improve production efficiency.

[0086] In one embodiment, the material storage mechanism 24 includes a first mounting frame 241 and at least one material storage platform 242. The first mounting frame 241 is connected to the material transfer mechanism 23. The material storage platform 242 is arranged on the first mounting frame 241. Each material storage platform 242 forms a material storage position 2421. The extension direction of the material storage position 2421 is the same as the extension direction of the transfer track 223.

[0087] In this embodiment, the first mounting frame 241 is a structural support component of the material storage mechanism 24. The first mounting frame 241 can be a frame structure, or a plate-like support structure or a table-like support structure. At the same time, the first mounting frame 241 can be arranged on the base 21, and can also be connected to the material transfer mechanism 23. At the same time, the material storage mechanism 24 includes at least one material storage table 242. At least one material storage table 242 is arranged on the first mounting frame 241. The material storage table 242 can be arranged outside the frame of the first mounting frame 241, or can be arranged in the inner cavity formed by the first mounting frame 241. The material storage table 242 can be a plate-like structure or a table structure to form a placement plane on the plate or table, and the placement plane is the material storage position 2421 for storing material trays. Alternatively, the material storage table 242 can be two support tables arranged oppositely and parallel to each other on both sides of the frame, and the two support tables together form a placement plane to form a material storage position 2421 for storing material trays. No limitation is made here.

[0088] It can be understood that each storage position 2421 is used to store at least one material tray. In order to ensure that each storage position 2421 has sufficient space and height to place the material tray and to protect the products in the material tray, it is preferred to set a material tray for each storage position 2421. At the same time, the extension direction of the storage position 2421 is the same as the extension direction of the transfer track 223, that is, they are both consistent with the direction of the transfer track 223 to transport the material tray, so that the transfer track 223 can transport the material tray to each storage position 2421 in the storage mechanism 24, and the material tray can be placed in the storage position 2421 only through the active transportation of the transfer track 223, thereby effectively improving the transfer efficiency of the material tray during the storage process. In another embodiment of the present invention, a limit stop is provided at one end of the storage table 242 away from the transfer track 223, and the limit stop is used to limit and block the position of the material tray to prevent the material tray from falling from the storage position 2421, thereby ensuring the limitation of the material tray.

[0089] Furthermore, when the number of products to be processed inside the laser processing equipment 1 is insufficient and the material tray needs to be replenished, the transfer mechanism 22 can also call the material tray from the storage position 2421 of the storage mechanism 24 and transfer it to the material transfer track 234 to transport the material tray to the laser processing equipment 1.

The unloading push rod is slidably arranged on the unloading rack along the direction in which the first track 11 and the second track 12 are spaced apart, and the unloading push rod is used to push the finished product to be unloaded.

[0095] It can be understood that the loading mechanism 4 is arranged at the head end of the laser production line 100 and is connected to the laser processing equipment 1 located at the head end of the laser production line 100, that is, the loading mechanism 4 is used to load multiple laser processing equipment 1 of the laser production line 100. At the same time, the loading rack of the loading mechanism 4 includes a first loading rail and a second loading rail. The first loading rail is connected to the first track 11 of the connected laser processing equipment 1, and the second loading rail is connected to the second track 12 of the connected laser processing equipment 1.
