Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a guide plate tray assembly reflow mechanism of a U-shaped guide plate high current automatic production line. Background Art

[0002] In modern automated production lines, pallets are a common material conveying and storage unit, widely used in various manufacturing industries, assembly lines and logistics systems. With the continuous development of production technology, higher requirements are placed on the automation, accuracy, efficiency and stability of pallet transportation systems. Especially in the high-current automatic production line of guide vanes, guide vanes, as important components, need to be assembled and reflowed through a precise, stable and efficient pallet transportation system to ensure production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Traditional pallet transportation systems generally use flat tracks and manual control, which have the following problems: Frequent manual intervention: Traditional systems often require manual operation and monitoring, especially in the process of feeding and returning materials. There is a lot of manual intervention, which can easily cause improper operation or delays, thus affecting production efficiency.

[0004] Unstable transportation process: Traditional transportation devices may cause the pallet to get stuck or unstable during transportation due to reasons such as track design and mismatch of pallet types. The pallet may even shift or the material may be damaged, affecting production progress.

[0005] Unreasonable spatial layout: The space of the production line is limited. The traditional pallet transportation system may need to occupy a large area of ​​space, resulting in space waste and inefficient use of the existing production area.

[0006] Inefficiency of pallet transportation: Traditional systems may have long waiting times during the transportation of incoming and returning materials, which may cause interruptions or slow down the production process and affect the efficiency of the entire production line.

[0007] As the manufacturing industry continues to increase its requirements for production efficiency and automation, traditional pallet transportation methods can no longer meet the needs of modern production lines. In order to solve the above problems, many automated production lines have gradually introduced highly automated and intelligent pallet transportation systems, which usually have the following characteristics: High degree of automation: By introducing motor drive, sensors and intelligent control systems, automatic transportation, positioning and assembly of pallets can be achieved without human intervention, thus improving production efficiency and stability.

[0008] Strong stability and reliability: The automation system precisely controls the movement of the pallet on the track, avoiding problems such as jamming and deviation caused by improper manual operation or equipment failure in the traditional system.

[0009] Maximize space utilization: Through the reasonable design of the transport track layout, the production line space can be effectively saved, the space utilization rate can be improved, and the production line design can be made more compact and efficient.

[0010] At present, some automated pallet transport systems have adopted more advanced technologies, such as circular track design, intelligent scheduling system, etc. These improvements have improved the stability and accuracy of transportation. However, there are still some bottlenecks in the existing technology, especially in the automatic production line for processing large current guides. How to balance the smooth connection between feeding and returning materials and ensure the efficiency and stability of pallet transportation is still a technical problem. Summary of the invention

[0011] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a guide plate tray assembly return mechanism for a U-shaped guide plate high-current automatic production line. Through innovative automatic pallet transportation devices, circular track structures, mirror-symmetrical design and other technical means, the problems of low pallet transportation efficiency, unreasonable spatial layout, and unstable pallet transportation in existing production lines are solved, thereby ultimately improving the degree of automation, transportation efficiency, and space utilization of the production line, and enhancing the stability and reliability of production.

[0012] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: A guide plate pallet assembly reflow mechanism for a U-shaped guide plate high-current automatic production line includes a first pallet transport device arranged at the feed end of the production line, a second pallet transport device arranged at the discharge end of the production line, and a feed transport track and a return transport track arranged between the first pallet transport device and the second pallet transport device, the feed transport track is located directly above the return transport track, the first pallet transport device includes a transport frame, a vertical annular track arranged in the transport frame, a pallet motor installed on the transport frame for driving the vertical annular track, and a plurality of installation nodes arranged on the vertical annular track and moving with the track, and a pallet transport mechanism arranged on the installation nodes, the second pallet transport device has the same structure as the first pallet transport device, and forms a mirror symmetry with the feed transport track and the return transport track as the center.

[0013] Preferably, the horizontal position of the feed transport track is flush with the exit station of the first pallet transport device and with the import station of the second pallet transport device, and the horizontal position of the discharge transport track is flush with the import station of the first pallet transport device and with the exit station of the second transport device.

[0014] Preferably, both ends of the feed transport track and the return transport track are provided with lateral brackets for support, and both the feed transport track and the return transport track are vertical circular tracks. Feed track motors for driving the feed transport track are provided on both sides of the feed transport track, and discharging track motors for driving the discharging transport track are provided on both sides of the discharging transport track.

[0015] Preferably, the pallet transport mechanism includes a triangular side panel having a top corner respectively connected to two adjacent nodes, and a pallet support arm rotatably connected to the other top corner of the triangular side panel, and a pallet lifting arm penetrated by the pallet support arm and rotatably cooperated with the pallet support arm, and a pallet placement groove installed under the pallet lifting arm and rotatably cooperated with the pallet lifting arm.

[0016] Preferably, a driving gear is provided at the driving end of the tray motor, a driven gear is provided on the vertical annular track, and a chain is used to connect the driving gear of the tray motor and the driven gear of the vertical annular track.

[0017] Preferably, the first pallet transport device is provided with a first pallet sensing mechanism for sensing pallet feeding, and the second pallet transport device is provided with a second pallet sensing mechanism for sensing pallet returning, and the first pallet sensing mechanism and the second pallet sensing mechanism are in the same vertical position.

[0018] Preferably, the feed transport track and the return transport track are each provided with at least one section, and each section of the feed transport track and the return transport track is at the same horizontal height, and the inlet end position is adjacent to the outlet end position.

[0019] Preferably, a feed robot arm and a return robot arm which can be used to grab the guide pallets on the first pallet transport device and the second pallet transport device are also provided on both sides of the feed transport track and the return transport track.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: Existing automatic production lines often have problems of low efficiency and frequent manual intervention during material transportation and return. Especially during the assembly and return of the guide tray, the transportation device is not automated enough, resulting in unsmooth and unstable material transportation. By introducing the first and second tray transportation devices and the feed and return material transportation tracks, this solution can achieve automated, continuous, and fast tray transportation, effectively improving the work efficiency of the production line and reducing manual intervention.

[0021] Traditional transport devices may have problems with inaccurate matching between pallets and tracks, which may cause the pallets to get stuck or deviate during transportation. By designing a vertical circular track and setting mounting nodes and pallet transport mechanisms that move with the track, it is possible to ensure that the pallets move smoothly on the track, while improving the accuracy and reliability of the pallet assembly and reflow process.

[0022] In the production line, the material return design at the feed end and the discharge end usually needs to consider the optimization of the spatial layout and transportation path to reduce unnecessary intersections or conflicts and ensure the smooth operation of the production line. By designing the feed transport track to be directly above the return transport track and adopting a mirror-symmetrical design structure, it is possible to achieve efficient connection between feed and return without increasing too much space occupation, avoiding possible conflicts and interference during transportation.

[0023] This solution sets a mirror-symmetric structure between the first pallet transport device and the second pallet transport device, so that the devices at both ends not only have the same function, but can also be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of the production line to meet the transportation requirements of different materials. This structure can improve the overall adaptability of the production line and reduce the design limitations of a single transport device.

[0024] This solution uses a pallet motor to drive the vertical circular track, and cooperates with the pallet transport mechanism on the installation node to achieve more stable and precise operation of the pallet during assembly and reflow, reduce vibration, jamming and other problems during pallet transportation, improve the reliability of the entire system, ensure uninterrupted production process, and reduce production stoppages caused by equipment failure.

[0025] By adopting the design of vertical circular track and feed return track layout up and down, it can effectively save space, improve the efficiency of space use, and avoid the problem of space waste that may occur in traditional design. The layout of the production line is more compact and the production area can be used efficiently. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Example See also Figure 1-3As shown, a guide plate pallet assembly reflow mechanism of a U-shaped guide plate high-current automatic production line includes a first pallet transport device 1 arranged at the feed end of the production line, and a second pallet transport device 2 arranged at the discharge end of the production line, and a feed transport track 3 and a return transport track 4 arranged between the first pallet transport device 1 and the second pallet transport device 2, the feed transport track 3 is located directly above the return transport track 4, the first pallet transport device 1 includes a transport frame 11, and a vertical circular track 12 arranged in the transport frame 11, and a pallet motor 13 installed on the transport frame 11 for driving the vertical circular track 12, and a plurality of installation nodes 14 arranged on the vertical circular track 12 and moving with the track, and a pallet transport mechanism 15 arranged on the installation nodes 14, the second pallet transport device 2 has the same structure as the first pallet transport device 1, and forms a mirror symmetry with the feed transport track 3 and the return transport track 4 as the center.

[0031] The feed material transport track 3 is located directly above the return material transport track 4, and adopts a vertical circular track 12 design, which can make full use of the vertical space and avoid the problem of occupying a large horizontal space in the traditional system. This enables the production line to operate efficiently in a relatively limited space, optimizes the spatial layout of the production line, and improves the efficiency of space use; the mirror-symmetrical structural design ensures maximum space utilization through the symmetrical arrangement of the pallet transport devices at both ends, and facilitates the planning of the process layout.

[0032] The separation of the feed transport track 3 and the return transport track 4 avoids the possible conflict caused by the mixed operation of the two in the same track, ensures the unimpeded flow of materials during the production process, and reduces the interference in the material transmission process; the second pallet transport device 2 is consistent with the first pallet transport device 1 in structure, and forms a symmetrical design with the feed and return tracks as the center. This structure allows the feed and return processes to be independent of each other but coordinated, ensuring production efficiency while avoiding system bottlenecks.

[0033] The use of the vertical circular track 12 enables the pallet to run smoothly in the vertical direction, avoiding the problems of jamming or pallet deviation that may occur in the traditional plane track. The movement of the vertical track is driven by the pallet motor 13, which ensures the stability of the pallet during transportation; the design of the drive of the pallet motor 13 enables the pallet to accurately control the running speed and position on the track, improving the accuracy and stability of transportation.

[0034] The entire system uses an automated pallet transport device to reduce manual intervention and ensure the automation and efficiency of the production line. Especially during the guide assembly and return process, the automatic transport of the pallet ensures the smoothness of the guide assembly process; through the design of the second pallet transport device 2, the return material transport can quickly and effectively transport the pallet back, ensuring that the flow of the guide on the production line is not hindered, avoiding production line interruptions and time waste.

[0035] The modular design of the pallet transport device, such as the motor drive, pallet rails, and mounting nodes 14, makes system maintenance and fault diagnosis easier. If a fault occurs, the faulty component can be quickly located, reducing the complexity of system maintenance and downtime; the first and second pallet transport devices 2 have the same structure and can be used interchangeably, which improves the flexibility of maintenance and the versatility of accessories and reduces maintenance costs.

[0036] The pallet motor 13 and sensor system in this solution can be connected to the intelligent control system to ensure the precise scheduling and reasonable control of the pallet during transportation through real-time data monitoring and adjustment, thereby improving the operating efficiency and flexibility of the entire production line; through the design of the installation node 14 and the pallet transportation mechanism 15, the pallet can accurately reach the assembly or reflow position during transportation, ensuring the assembly accuracy of the guide plate and the high efficiency of the production process.

[0037] This design provides a flexible architecture that can be adjusted according to different production needs. For example, by adjusting the length and configuration of the feed and return tracks, or adjusting the working speed of the pallet transport device according to the production rhythm, the system can flexibly adapt to different production process requirements; the pallet return system is not only suitable for guide assembly, but also can adapt to other types of material transportation, providing high versatility and adaptability.

[0038] The horizontal position of the feed transport track 3 is flush with the exit station of the first pallet transport device 1 and is flush with the entry station of the second pallet transport device 2. The horizontal position of the discharge transport track is flush with the entry station of the first pallet transport device 1 and is flush with the exit station of the second transport device.

[0039] The horizontal position of the feed transport track 3 is flush with the exit station of the first pallet transport device 1, and the horizontal position of the discharge transport track is flush with the entrance station of the first pallet transport device 1, which can ensure the rapid docking and transmission of materials (such as pallets) between various stations, reducing the time delay of material handling. The transmission and assembly of materials in the production process can be carried out more directly and efficiently, improving the operating efficiency of the overall production line; the horizontal position of the feed and discharge tracks is flush with the pallet transport device, ensuring that the pallets are docked very accurately between different stations, and automated operation can reduce manual intervention, reduce the possibility of human errors, and improve the stability and reliability of the production line.

[0040] Since the track and the pallet transport device are flush with each other, the layout and configuration of the production line can be flexibly adjusted as needed. If you need to replace equipment or adjust the production rhythm, you can easily adjust the position of the feed and discharge tracks, which greatly enhances the flexibility of the system. This provides better adaptability to cope with changes in future production needs; the flush design of the feed and discharge stations allows the system to better adapt to the transportation of different types of materials, especially for materials that require precise docking (such as high-current components such as U-shaped guides). The flush design can ensure that there are no errors or jams in the transportation of materials, thereby improving the versatility of the production line.

[0041] Since the horizontal position of the feed and discharge transport tracks is flush with the stations of the pallet transport device, the pallets can maintain stable and accurate docking when entering each station, avoiding the misalignment or jamming problems that may occur in traditional designs. Especially in high-speed automated production, the accuracy of material transmission is crucial to ensuring production efficiency and product quality; the flush design ensures smoother material transportation between the feed and discharge stations, reduces friction and impact between the pallet and the track, thereby reducing the risk of equipment wear and extending its service life.

[0042] The infeed and outfeed of the pallet are flush with the relevant workstations, so production line operators can monitor and operate the materials more conveniently. For automated production lines, this means that personnel can focus more on process control rather than frequently adjusting the position of the transport device; precise docking and alignment reduce unstable factors during transportation, enabling the production line to maintain higher stability, which is particularly important in the case of high-speed automated production.

[0043] Both ends of the feed transport track 3 and the return transport track 4 are provided with lateral brackets 5 for support. The feed transport track 3 and the return transport track 4 are both vertical circular tracks. Both sides of the feed transport track 3 are provided with feed track motors 6 for driving the feed transport track 3, and both sides of the discharging transport track are provided with discharging track motors 7 for driving the discharging transport track.

[0044] The lateral supports 5 are arranged at both ends of the feed and return transport tracks 4, which can effectively enhance the stability of the tracks and prevent deformation or tilting due to long-term operation or carrying heavy objects. This support design can improve the overall strength and durability of the tracks and reduce the failure or maintenance requirements of the equipment due to structural instability; the lateral supports 5 can provide additional support to ensure that the tracks can maintain stable operation even under high-load conditions, thereby improving the load capacity of the entire material conveying system.

[0045] The vertical circular track design adopts a vertical layout, which can realize more material transportation in a limited space compared with the traditional horizontal track. Especially in production lines that need to occupy a small flat area, this design helps to save ground space and provide higher space utilization efficiency for the production line; the design of the vertical track makes the material transportation route more compact and flexible, and can be adjusted and expanded as needed. For example, the path of the circular track can be adjusted according to production needs, and even the material transportation path can be flexibly switched between different production stations, improving the adaptability and scalability of the production line.

[0046] Feed track motors 6 are arranged on both sides of the feed transport track 3, which can provide stable and strong driving force, so that the materials can enter the production line quickly and evenly. The motor drive system can effectively control the conveying speed and accuracy of the materials, reduce manual intervention, and improve the level of automation; similarly, the discharge track motors 7 arranged on both sides of the discharge track ensure the fast and accurate output of the materials. The motor drive can flexibly adjust the output speed according to production needs, reduce the problems of material retention and accumulation, and thus improve production efficiency; the feed and discharge motors are arranged on both sides of the track respectively, which can distribute the driving force more evenly and reduce the problems of track wear or unbalanced material transmission caused by unilateral drive. This symmetrical design improves the stability of the system and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0047] The material conveying path is precisely controlled by setting up the drive motor and optimizing the track structure. Especially in the process of automated and refined production, the accuracy of feeding and discharging is crucial to product quality. The motor drive can achieve more precise speed control and positioning, ensuring that the materials at each station can be accurately delivered. The vertical circular track design can reduce the possibility of material jamming or deviation during transportation, especially when small or complex parts are involved in the production process, and can provide a more stable material conveying environment.

[0048] The automation level of the entire material conveying system is improved through motor drive and lateral bracket 5 support. The system can realize accurate scheduling of feeding and discharging through automation technologies such as sensors and PLC control, greatly reducing the need for manual intervention and improving the operation efficiency of the production line; the system can be equipped with intelligent monitoring devices to monitor the operating status of the motor, the load of the track and other data in real time, predict potential problems through data analysis, and perform maintenance or adjustments in advance, further improving the intelligence level of the system.

[0049] The pallet transport mechanism 15 includes a triangular side plate 151 connected to two adjacent nodes at the top corners, a pallet support arm 152 rotatably connected to the other top corner of the triangular side plate 151, a pallet hanging arm 153 penetrated by the pallet support arm 152 and rotatably matched with the pallet support arm 152, and a pallet placement slot 154 installed under the pallet hanging arm 153 and rotatably matched with the pallet hanging arm 153.

[0050] The design uses a triangular side plate 151, which is connected to two adjacent nodes at the top corner to provide additional structural stability. The triangular structure itself is very stable mechanically and can effectively disperse the force to avoid structural deformation or damage due to excessive load. This stability is crucial for pallet transportation systems, especially when they need to withstand large loads during transportation; the rotational fit design between the pallet support arm 152 and the pallet boom 153 allows the entire system to effectively absorb vibrations and remain stable when subjected to external forces. The rotational fit structure provides greater load-bearing capacity while reducing mechanical wear and damage caused by excessive force.

[0051] The rotating connection design between the pallet support arm 152 and the triangular side plate 151, and between the pallet suspension arm 153 and the pallet support arm 152, makes the pallet transport mechanism 15 highly flexible in practical applications. In particular, in different working environments (such as transport tracks, platforms, etc.), the rotating connection structure can adjust the angle and posture of the pallet as needed to adapt to different transport tasks and space layouts; the rotational coordination between the pallet placement slot 154 and the pallet suspension arm 153 allows the placement position of the pallet to be flexibly adjusted. This design is suitable for pallets of different sizes, shapes or weights, can effectively meet different material transportation requirements, and improves the versatility and adaptability of the system.

[0052] Due to the rotational coordination between the pallet arm 153 and the placement slot, the operator can more accurately control the pallet's suspension, placement and movement process. This precise control can prevent the material from shaking or falling during transportation, reduce the material damage rate, and improve the safety and efficiency of the overall operation; this design can achieve lower friction loss during transportation by optimizing the pallet's suspension and positioning mechanism, and due to its flexible structure, it can quickly adapt to different material types and transportation tasks, reducing operation time and improving transportation efficiency.

[0053] The structure of this solution is relatively simple and has no complicated parts. The rotational cooperation mechanism of the triangular side plate 151, the support arm, the suspension arm and the placement slot can realize all the functions required for pallet transportation, while reducing the redundant parts that may exist in the system. This makes the design of the entire system more compact and reduces the probability of failure; due to the use of a rotational connection mechanism in the design, the mutual cooperation relationship between the various components is clear, and daily inspection and maintenance can be carried out without complicated adjustment and disassembly. If a problem occurs in a component, it can be relatively simple to carry out local repair or replacement, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

[0054] The pallet transport mechanism 15 can adapt to a variety of different material types and transportation requirements. Whether transporting heavy materials or light goods, the pallet placement slot 154 and the rotation of the boom can adjust the height and angle of the pallet as needed to ensure the stability and safety of the materials during transportation; the design of the pallet transport mechanism 15 can be used in different working environments, especially those with high space requirements or precise control (such as warehouses, production lines, etc.). Its flexible structure allows the system to easily adapt to complex workspace layouts.

[0055] A driving gear 131 is provided at the driving end of the pallet motor 13, and a driven gear 121 is provided on the vertical circular track 12. The driving gear 131 of the pallet motor 13 and the driven gear 121 of the vertical circular track 12 are connected by a chain; the first pallet transport device 1 is provided with a first pallet sensing mechanism 8 for sensing pallet feeding, and the second pallet transport device 2 is provided with a second pallet sensing mechanism 9 for sensing pallet returning, and the first pallet sensing mechanism 8 and the second pallet sensing mechanism 9 are in the same vertical position.

[0056] The motor drives the chain through the driving gear 131, and then drives the driven gear 121 on the vertical circular track 12. This transmission method is characterized by high efficiency, stability and precision. Compared with other transmission methods (such as belt drive), chain drive is more durable, can withstand larger loads and reduce mechanical wear, thereby extending the service life of the system. The chain drive has a high efficiency, which can ensure that the motor drive can smoothly and efficiently transmit power to the driven gear 121, thereby driving the tray to move along the track.

[0057] Two sensing mechanisms are set up in the system, one for sensing the feeding and returning of pallets. The first pallet sensing mechanism 8 and the second pallet sensing mechanism 9 are in the same vertical position. The advantage of this design is that it can ensure that the feeding and returning processes can be carried out synchronously and accurately. When the pallet passes through the sensing area, the sensing mechanism can instantly feedback the position and status of the pallet, ensuring that the system can accurately control the feeding and returning timing of the pallet, avoiding material backlog or poor circulation; the cooperation of these two sensing mechanisms can realize the automatic control of feeding and returning, which not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces the intervention of manual operation, making the entire material handling process smoother and more reliable.

[0058] The chain connection between the motor drive gear 131 and the driven gear 121 on the vertical circular track 12 makes the pallet transport system more stable during operation. The chain transmission system is relatively simple, which reduces the complexity of the mechanical structure and reduces the possibility of failure. At the same time, the chain system is less affected by external factors such as temperature changes or humidity, and can operate stably in a variety of working environments; since the first pallet sensing mechanism 8 and the second pallet sensing mechanism 9 are in the same position, the control of feeding and returning materials is more synchronized and coordinated, and the system can quickly respond to the entry and exit of the pallet, avoiding transportation delays or confusion caused by asynchronous sensing or untimely feedback.

[0059] Through precise sensing mechanisms, the system can automatically identify the location of the pallet and control its transportation process. This makes the entire pallet transportation process automated, reducing the need for manual intervention, not only reducing the workload of operators, but also greatly improving the operating efficiency of the production line; the sensing mechanism can provide real-time feedback on the status of the pallet, and in conjunction with the automated control system, can monitor and adjust the pallet transportation process in real time. In this way, the system can transport materials efficiently and accurately, reducing human errors and improving production efficiency.

[0060] The feed transport track 3 and the return transport track 4 are each provided with at least one section, and each section of the feed transport track 3 and the return transport track 4 is at the same horizontal height, and the inlet end position is adjacent to the outlet end position; the feed transport track 3 and the return transport track 4 are also provided with a feed robot arm and a return robot arm on both sides of the feed transport track 3 and the return transport track 4, which can be used to grab the guide pallets on the first pallet transport device 1 and the second pallet transport device 2.

[0061] The inlet and outlet ends of the feed transport track 3 and the return transport track 4 are adjacent to each other (i.e., the material can flow smoothly from the feed end to the return end). This layout can achieve rapid connection of material flow. The inlet and outlet positions of the feed and return tracks are adjacent to each other, ensuring that the material can flow more efficiently during transportation. There are no excessive turns or changes, which reduces the resistance to material transportation and ensures the smoothness of the entire transportation process; the feed and return tracks are set at the same horizontal height to avoid unstable transportation or difficulty in moving the pallet smoothly due to the height difference of the tracks. This design ensures the smooth operation of materials during transportation and reduces jams or obstacles caused by imbalance.

[0062] Feeding manipulators and return material manipulators are provided on both sides of the feed and return material transport tracks 4 for automatically grabbing pallets. These manipulators can accurately grab and transport the guide pallets on the first pallet transport device 1 and the second pallet transport device 2, greatly improving the degree of automation of material handling. The manipulators automatically perform the grabbing operation, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving the efficiency and operating accuracy of the overall system; the coordinated work of the feeding manipulator and the return material manipulator can quickly transfer materials from the feed track to the pallet, or transfer the recycled materials to the return track. Through the automatic grabbing and handling of the manipulators, the entire material flow process becomes more efficient and accurate, which not only reduces manual operations, but also greatly shortens the operation cycle and improves the overall efficiency of the production line.

[0063] Since the feed and return tracks are set adjacently and at the same level, the feed and return can be carried out simultaneously, reducing the waiting time and material accumulation on the production line. This design effectively improves the coordination of the production line, avoids the backlog or cross-confusion of materials during the production process, and ensures the continuity of materials and the efficiency of production; the setting of the feed and return tracks provides flexibility for the production line, and can quickly adjust the flow of materials according to production needs. Through the efficient grasping of the robotic arm, the feed and return can be switched quickly, which improves the flexibility and adaptability of the production process.

[0064] The feeding robot and the return robot replace manual labor to grab and move pallets, which not only improves the speed of material flow, but also reduces labor costs and reduces manual operation errors. The introduction of automated equipment also makes the production environment safer and avoids safety hazards caused by improper manual operation; the sensors equipped with the robot can accurately sense the position of the pallet to ensure that the grabbing process is efficient and accurate. Combined with the automated control system, the movement of the robot can be precisely scheduled, further improving the level of automation in the transportation process and optimizing the overall scheduling capabilities of the production line.
