DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] A high-precision small batch loading and unloading equipment, see Figure 1-Figure 7 , which includes a base 10, a hanger tray transfer module 20, a material loading and unloading module 30, and a gantry transverse movement module 40;

[0026] An operating table 11 is provided on the upper part of the base 10;

[0027] The hanger tray transfer module 20 includes a Y-axis drive module 50, a transfer platform 60, a hanger placement tray 70, a hanger assembly 80, a tray 90, and a carrier 100. The Y-axis drive module 50 is arranged on the upper surface of the operating table 11. The Y-axis drive module 50 includes a power module 51 on one side and a guide rail portion 52 on the other side. The transfer platform 60 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the output end of the power module 51, and the transfer platform 60 is also embedded in the guide rail portion 52. The hanger placement tray 70 and the tray 90 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the X-axis on the upper surface of the transfer platform 60. The support block 71 at the corner position is used to place the frame 110 of the hanger assembly 80. N groups of arranged hanger assemblies 80 are arranged on each frame 110. The carrier 90 is filled with a plurality of carriers 100 that fill the surface area of ​​the carrier 90. A plurality of hangers 120 are arranged along the length direction of the hanger assembly 80. The hangers 120 extend to the hooks 121 at the bottom through the hanger racks 122 on both sides. The hooks 121 are open and close structures. The carrier 100 is provided with an array-combined placement cavity 101, and the placement cavity 101 is used to place materials (not shown in the figure);

[0028] The material taking and placing module 30 includes a frame 130, a hanger clamping assembly 140, and a hanger opening and closing assembly 150. Each set of hanger clamping assemblies 140 includes two hanger clamping cylinders 141 driven in the X direction and clamping plates 142 on both sides. The two hanger clamping cylinders 141 respectively drive the clamping plates 142 on the corresponding sides to move synchronously toward or away from each other. The hanger clamping cylinders 141 drive the clamping plates 142 on both sides to clamp the X-direction side rods 111 of the frame 110; the hanger opening and closing assembly 150 0 includes a plurality of pairs of clamping plates 151, which are combined to form N rows of clamping plate mechanisms. One of the clamping plates in each row of the clamping plate mechanisms is fixed in position, and the other clamping plate is connected to the upper slide plate 152. The upper ends of all the upper slide plates 152 are fixedly connected to a slider 153. The slider 153 performs Y-axis driving operation through a Y-axis linear mechanism. The horizontal frame area of ​​the frame body 130 is arranged with clamping plates 142 on both sides and a plurality of pairs of clamping plates 151 arranged in a matrix.

[0029] The gantry transverse movement module 40 includes a gantry 160 and an X-axis driving module 170 . The X-axis driving module 170 is disposed on the crossbeam 161 of the gantry 160 .

[0030] The two side columns 162 of the gantry 160 are fixedly mounted on the two sides of the Y-axis rear end of the workbench 11, and the output end of the X-axis driving module 170 is provided with a Z-axis lifting module 180, and the output end of the Z-axis lifting module 180 is fixedly connected to the upper convex connecting plate 131 of the frame 130, and the X-axis driving module 170 drives the frame 130 to perform an X-axis translation action corresponding to the transfer platform 60 at the set Y-axis position to perform a material transfer operation;

[0031] When implementing:

[0032] The position of the hanger placement plate 70 of the transfer platform 60 is the clamping position, and the position of the carrier plate 90 of the transfer platform 60 is the working position; two groups of carrier placement positions are arranged on the carrier plate 90, and each group of carrier placement positions is respectively provided with a floating block 91, so that the plane can be automatically adjusted according to the pressure from above to determine the material clamping height.

[0033] A positioning notch 61 is also provided on one side of the transfer platform 60 in the length direction. After the transfer platform 60 is in place, the pressing block 190 is inserted along the positioning notch 61 and limits the highest lifting position of the transfer platform 60. The bottom of the pressing block 190 is fixedly connected to the operating table, which stabilizes the XY position of the transfer platform 60 and limits the Z height position of the transfer platform 60 to avoid the material being lifted synchronously when taking the material, thereby ensuring the reliable material transfer.

[0034] In specific implementation, the Y-axis linear mechanism is a servo screw mechanism, which includes a servo motor 154 and a forward and reverse screw 155. The output end of the servo motor 154 is connected to the forward and reverse screw 155, and the forward and reverse screw 155 is threadedly connected to the guide threaded hole of the slider 153. The slider 153 is supported on the Y-axis linear guide 156, which enables all pairs of jaw plates to clamp or loosen synchronously.

[0035] Each pair of clamping claw plates 151 is provided with a hanger placement space 157 when not pressed, and the hanger placement space 157 enables the hanger 120 to be reliably placed in the hanger placement space in the Z-axis direction.

[0036] Its working principle is as follows: several groups of empty hanger assemblies are positioned and arranged on the frame manually or through an external robotic arm, so that after the hanger is placed in the hanger carrier transfer module, the transfer module moves into the clamping position, the material picking and placing module moves down, and the hanger clamping assembly clamps the frame. After the hanger is clamped by the material picking and placing module, it is translated in the X-axis direction through the gantry transverse module to reach the working position (above the carrier), and the Y-axis linear mechanism drives the slider to drive the slide plate to move, thereby causing the clamping claw plate to retract, and then the clamping claw plate compresses the hanger, causing the hanger racks on both sides of the hanger to retract, the hooks to close, and the falling height hooks to penetrate into the inner cavity area of ​​the material, and then the Y-axis linear mechanism drives the slider to move, thereby causing the hanger racks on both sides of the hanger to retract, and the hooks to close. The hooks are dropped to a certain height and penetrate into the inner cavity area of ​​the material, and then the Y-axis linear mechanism drives the slider to move, thereby causing the hanger racks to retract, and then the hooks to move to a certain height. The mechanism drives the slider to move the slide plate, which in turn causes the clamping claw plate to retract, allowing the hook to open and hang the material (mobile phone button). The hanger tray transfer module rises, and after X-axis translation through the gantry transverse movement module, it reaches the material pick-up and release position and puts the frame back into the hanger placement tray. The subsequent frame and the material clamped thereon are transferred manually or by a robotic arm for anode operation. After the anode operation is completed, the frame fully loaded with the hanger is placed on the hanger placement tray, and then the material is transferred to the placement cavity of the carrier through the pick-up and release module, so that the mobile phone button is reset to the carrier again; it saves the operating time and manpower requirements of the entire line, thereby indirectly improving the production efficiency of the entire line.
