Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vertical coating equipment, and more specifically, relates to a flipping device and a flipping method used when a thin sheet is loaded on a carrier in a vertical state for coating. Background Art

[0002] Vertical coating equipment is a device that loads thin sheets on a vertical carrier for coating. Usually, a robot and a thin sheet fixture are used to flip the thin sheet in a horizontal state 90° to a vertical state, and then load the thin sheet in the vertical state into the carrier in the vertical state. However, the process path of flipping the thin sheet from a horizontal state 90° to a vertical state is complex, the action time is long, and the rhythm is slow. In addition, during the flipping process, the thin sheet is easy to break away from the bottom of the thin sheet fixture and move up and down, thereby colliding in the fixture to produce cracks, and the yield rate drops sharply during the thin sheet loading and unloading process. In addition, when the thin sheet is placed in the vertical state and the carrier moves horizontally, the thin sheet cannot remain vertical in the fixture, and the thin sheet is not completely attached to the bottom of the fixture, which makes it difficult for the robot to put all the thin sheets into the carrier. The fragmentation rate is high and the yield rate is low during the thin sheet loading and unloading process.

[0003] Therefore, the prior art needs to be improved, and it is urgent to design a flipping device that flips the carrier instead of the sheet. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to load the thin slices into the vertical carrier faster and more stably. The present invention does not flip the thin slices but flips the carrier. During the thin slice loading process, the carrier is flipped 90° from the vertical state to the horizontal state. Thus, when the carrier is in the horizontal state, the path for the thin slices to be placed into the carrier only has two actions, namely, up and down and translation. The action time to complete the placement of the thin slices into the carrier is short. Moreover, the thin slices do not move up and down in the horizontal thin slice clamp, and the thin slices will not produce cracks due to up and down collisions. Moreover, in the present invention, all the thin slices are attached to the bottom of the fingers of the horizontal thin slice clamp and are in the same plane. The thin slices can be placed into the carrier faster and more stably without generating fragments, which greatly reduces the fragmentation rate of the thin slices, improves the yield rate and the economy of the vertical coating equipment. After the thin slices are stably and safely placed into the carrier, the carrier is flipped 90° from the horizontal state to the vertical state.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems or achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0022] S1: Leveling the carrier in the movable carrier frame in a vertical state;

[0023] S2: driving the movable plate carrier through the driving assembly so that the movable plate carrier flips from a vertical state to a horizontal state;

[0025] S4: Load the sheet stably and safely on the carrier;

[0026] S5: driving the movable plate carrier again through the driving assembly, so that the movable plate carrier is flipped from the horizontal state to the vertical state.

[0049] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0050] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0051] Figure 1 and 2 A brief structural schematic diagram of a flipping device when the carrier plate is in a vertical state and a brief structural schematic diagram of a flipping device when the carrier plate is in a horizontal state provided in an embodiment of the present invention are respectively shown.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, a flipping device includes: a bracket 1, a movable carrier frame 2, a driving assembly 3, a first limiting assembly 4, a second limiting assembly 5 and a protection assembly 6. The movable carrier frame 2 is provided with a carrier 9 and is in a vertical state, the bracket 1 is fixed on a horizontal plane and is rotatably connected to the movable carrier frame 2, the movable carrier frame 2 can rotate around the bracket 1, the driving assembly 3 is connected between the movable carrier frame 2 and the bracket 1 at the bottom, the driving assembly 3 drives the movable carrier frame 2 to rotate around the bracket 1, the first limiting assembly 4 and the second limiting assembly 5 detect the rotation position of the movable carrier frame 2, the first limiting assembly 4 is located on the horizontally arranged bracket 1, and detects the position of the movable carrier frame 2 rotating to the horizontal state, the second limiting assembly 5 is arranged at the lower part of the movable carrier frame 2, and detects the position of the movable carrier frame 2 rotating to the vertical state, and the protection assembly 6 is arranged at the upper part of the movable carrier frame 2 and detects the position between the two movable carrier frames 2 when the movable carrier frame 2 is in a vertical state.

[0053] In this embodiment, the movable plate carrier 2 is a double movable plate carrier arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and when the movable plate carrier 2 moves, the force of the bracket 1 is stabilized. Each movable plate carrier 2 in the double movable plate carrier can move independently, or both movable plate carriers 2 can move simultaneously.

[0054] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the movable carrier rack 2 during the flipping process, preferably, a first electromagnet is provided in the movable carrier rack 2, and a first adsorption mechanism is provided on the carrier plate 9. At this time, the first electromagnet can be used to absorb the first adsorption mechanism to level the carrier plate 9, thereby ensuring the stability of the movable carrier rack 2 during the flipping process.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first limiting assembly 4 and the second limiting assembly 5 detect the position of the movable plate carrier 2 around the bracket 1, and when reaching the detection position, the driving assembly 3 is notified, and the driving assembly 3 controls the movement of the movable plate carrier 2 around the bracket 1. In this embodiment, in order to further ensure positioning accuracy and safety, the position between the two movable plate carriers 2 can also be detected by the protection assembly 6.

[0056] In this embodiment, a second electromagnet is provided in the bracket 1, and a second adsorption mechanism is also provided on the carrier 9. When the movable carrier frame 2 is flipped to a horizontal state, the second electromagnet in the bracket 1 attracts the second adsorption mechanism on the carrier 9 to level the carrier 9. The second electromagnet attracts the second adsorption mechanism to level the carrier 9, thereby ensuring the flatness of the carrier 9 in a horizontal state and reducing the fragmentation rate of the sheet during loading and unloading.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 Shows Figure 1 The present invention is a structural diagram of a movable carrier frame 2 after being flipped 90° from a vertical state to a horizontal state. In this embodiment, the movable carrier frame 2 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1 at the bottom through movable hinges 8 arranged on both sides. At the same time, a labor-saving component 7 is arranged between the movable carrier frame 2 and the bracket 1. The labor-saving component 7 can save energy for the driving component 3 when the driving component 3 is driven, and reduce the load of the driving component 3.

[0058] In this embodiment, the labor-saving component 7 may include any one of a torsion spring, a nitrogen spring and a counterweight or a combination thereof. Preferably, the labor-saving component 7 is a torsion spring.

[0059] In this embodiment, the driving component 3 may include any one of a motor, a pneumatic cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder or a combination thereof. Preferably, the driving component 3 is a pneumatic cylinder.

[0060] When the structure shown in the above embodiment is used, when the movable carrier frame 2 is flipped (moving from the vertical state to the horizontal state), before the driving component 3 drives the movable carrier frame 2, the first electromagnet in the movable carrier frame 2 attracts the first adsorption mechanism on the carrier plate 9 to level the carrier plate 9, thereby ensuring the stability of the carrier plate 9 during the flipping process of the movable carrier frame 2, and then the driving component 3 is started. With the assistance of the labor-saving component 7, the driving component 3 drives the movable carrier frame 2 to flip to the horizontal state with a very small force. After the first limit component 4 detects that the movable carrier frame 2 is in place, it feeds back to the driving component 3, and the driving component 3 controls the movement of the movable carrier frame 2 to stop. At this time, the second electromagnet in the bracket 1 attracts the second adsorption mechanism on the carrier plate 9 to level the carrier plate 9, thereby ensuring the flatness of the carrier plate 9 in the horizontal state and ensuring the smooth loading and unloading of the thin sheets. Then, the thin sheet is placed stably and safely on the carrier 9, and the driving component 3 is enabled again to drive the movable carrier frame 2 to flip the carrier 9 from the horizontal state by 90° to the vertical state. After the second limiting component 5 detects that the movable carrier frame 2 is in place, it feeds back to the driving component 3, and the driving component 3 controls the movement of the movable carrier frame 2 to stop. When the movable carrier frame 2 is a double movable carrier frame, in order to further ensure the positioning accuracy and safety, the protection component 6 can be enabled to detect the position between the double movable carrier frames, thereby ensuring that the movable carrier frame is flipped back to the vertical position.

[0061] Figure 3 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a flip device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the flipping device uses two sets of parallel and spaced movable carriers 2 and their corresponding related structures. Figure 3 As shown, the two sets of structures are arranged symmetrically on the left and right. The flip device is provided with a movable carrier frame 2 in a vertical state, and a carrier 9 is installed in the movable carrier frame 2. The bracket 1 is arranged horizontally. The bracket 1 and the movable carrier frame 2 are rotatably connected through movable hinges 8 on both sides. The movable carrier frame 2 rotates around the bracket 1 through the movable hinges 8. The driving component 3 (a cylinder in this embodiment) is arranged as a whole on the bracket 1. One end of the driving component 3 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1 and the other end is fixedly connected to the movable carrier frame 2. The driving component 3 can drive the movable carrier frame 2 to rotate around the bracket 1. A labor-saving component 7 (a torsion spring in this embodiment) connecting the bracket 1 and the movable carrier frame 2 is also arranged between the two movable hinges 8, and a first limiting component 4 is also arranged on both sides of the bracket 1. The first limiting component 4 detects the position of the movable carrier frame 2 on the horizontal plane when the movable carrier frame 2 is flipped to a horizontal state. A second limiting component 5 is arranged at the lower part of the movable carrier frame 2 and a protective component 6 is arranged at the upper part. The second limiting component 5 is used to detect the position of the movable carrier frame 2 in the vertical direction when the movable carrier frame 2 is flipped to a vertical state. The protective component 6 is used to position the movable carrier frame 2 in the vertical direction more accurately and safely.

[0062] exist Figure 3 When the three-dimensional structure shown is in use, the two sets of symmetrical devices are operated simultaneously, the first electromagnet in the movable carrier frame 2 attracts the first adsorption mechanism on the carrier plate 9 to level the carrier plate 9, and then the driving component 3 drives the movable carrier frame 2 to flip to a horizontal state with a very small force with the assistance of the labor-saving component 7, and after the first limit component 4 detects that the movable carrier frame 2 is in place, it feeds back to the driving component 3, and the driving component 3 controls the movement of the movable carrier frame 2 to stop. At this time, the second electromagnet in the bracket 1 attracts the second adsorption mechanism on the carrier plate 9 to level the carrier plate 9, ensuring the flatness of the carrier plate 9 in the horizontal state and ensuring the smooth loading and unloading of the thin sheets. Then, the thin sheet is stably and safely placed on the carrier 9, and the driving component 3 is activated again to drive the movable carrier frame 2 to flip the carrier 9 from the horizontal state by 90° to the vertical state. After the second limit component 5 detects that the movable carrier frame 2 is in place and the protection component 6 detects that the two movable carrier frames are in a suitable position, feedback is given to the driving component 3, and the driving component 3 controls the movement of the movable carrier frame 2 to stop, and the movable carrier frame 2 flips back to the vertical state, thereby placing the thin sheet after flipping the carrier 9 by 90° to the horizontal state, and after the thin sheet is placed, flipping the carrier 9 by 90° to the vertical state again, so that the thin sheet is stably and safely loaded on the carrier 9 in the vertical state. Of course, alternatively, Figure 3 Each of the two symmetrical structures shown can also be operated independently.

[0063] Figure 4 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a flip device provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the structure of this embodiment is Figure 3 The structure shown is similar, except that one first limiting assembly 4 can be provided and located in the middle of the front portion of the bracket 1 .

[0064] Figure 5 FIG. 2 shows a three-dimensional structural diagram of a flip device provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the structure of this embodiment is Figure 3 The structure shown is similar, except that at least three first limit assemblies 4 can be provided, for example, at least one is provided on the front of the bracket 1, and at least one is provided on each side of the bracket 1. Figure 5 As shown, three first position-limiting components 4 are arranged on the bracket 1, with one first position-limiting component 4 being arranged on each of the two sides and one first position-limiting component 4 being arranged in the middle of the front part.

[0065] Figure 6 FIG. 2 shows a three-dimensional structural diagram of a flip device provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the structure of this embodiment is Figure 3 The structure shown is similar, except that a movable hinge 8 can be provided and located in the middle of the bracket 1 and the movable carrier frame 2 so that the rotation of the movable carrier frame 2 is centered.

[0066] Figure 7 FIG. 2 shows a three-dimensional structural diagram of a flip device provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, the structure of this embodiment is Figure 3 The structure shown is similar, except that the movable hinge 8 can also be arranged in a layout with one in the middle and multiple symmetrical hinges on both sides. For example, one is symmetrically arranged on each side, and a total of three movable hinges 8 are arranged.

[0067] Figure 8 FIG. 2 shows a three-dimensional structural diagram of a flip device provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, the structure of this embodiment is Figure 3 The structures shown are similar, except that multiple second limit assemblies 5 can be designed, multiple protection assemblies 6 can be set, and the positions of the second limit assemblies 5 and the protection assemblies 6 can also be changed, etc.

[0068] also, Fig. 9 FIG. 2 shows a schematic flow chart of a flipping method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for flipping using the above flipping device, and the flipping method includes the following steps:

[0069] S1: Leveling the carrier plate 9 in the movable carrier plate rack 2 in a vertical state;

[0070] S2: driving the movable plate carrier 2 by the driving assembly 3 so that the movable plate carrier 2 is flipped from a vertical state to a horizontal state;

[0071] S3: Leveling the carrier plate 9 in the movable carrier plate rack 2 in a horizontal state;

[0072] S4: Load the sheet stably and safely on the carrier plate 9;

[0073] S5: The movable plate carrier 2 is driven again by the driving assembly 3 so that the movable plate carrier 2 is flipped from the horizontal state to the vertical state.

[0074] In the method of this embodiment, step S1 includes: sucking the first adsorption mechanism provided on the carrier 9 by the first electromagnet provided in the movable carrier frame 2 to level the carrier 9; step S2 includes: detecting the position of the movable carrier frame 2 flipping to a horizontal state by the first limiting component 4, and feeding back to the driving component 3, and controlling the movement of the movable carrier frame 2 to stop by the driving component 3; step S3 includes: sucking the second adsorption mechanism provided on the carrier 9 by the second electromagnet provided in the bracket 1 to level the carrier 9; step S5 includes: detecting the position of the movable carrier frame 2 flipping to a vertical state by the second limiting component 5, and feeding back to the driving component 3, and controlling the movement of the movable carrier frame 2 to stop by the driving component 3.

The present invention does not need to flip the thin film, and the time required to complete the action of placing the thin film into the carrier plate is short. Moreover, the thin film is placed in a horizontal state, and the thin film does not move up and down in the thin film clamp, and the thin film will not produce cracks due to up and down collisions. Therefore, the present invention allows the thin film to be placed in the carrier plate faster and more steadily without generating fragments, which greatly reduces the fragmentation rate of the thin film, improves the yield rate and the economy of the vertical coating equipment.
