[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, in the first aspect, a component stacking device is provided, and the component stacking device includes a product loading device 1, a fixture loading mechanism 2, a positioning and pushing device 4, a fixture unloading mechanism 3, a gluing device 5 and a plurality of stacking fixtures 7.

[0041] The product loading device 1 is used to supply monomer products, the clamp loading mechanism 2 is used to transport the stacking clamp 7 to the loading position, the positioning and pushing device 4 is used to push the stacking clamp 7 from the loading position to the unloading position, and to position the stacking clamp 7 when the stacking clamp 7 moves to the working position between the loading position and the unloading position. When the stacking clamp 7 is located at the working position, the gluing device 5 is used to place the monomer products at the product loading device 1 in the stacking clamp 7 in turn and gluing them, and the clamp unloading mechanism 3 is used to transport the stacking clamp 7 located at the unloading position.

[0042] Specifically, the stacking fixture 7 refers to a component with a certain volume. There is a stacking space for accommodating multiple single products in the stacking fixture 7, and the cross-sectional shape of the stacking space matches the shape of the product. When stacking products, the single products can be placed in the stacking space in sequence, so that the single products are stacked in the stacking space along the height of the stacking space, thereby ensuring the accuracy of product stacking.

[0043] In addition, the monomer products before stacking are usually arranged in a certain order and placed on the tray. The product loading device 1 refers to a device that can stack the trays and remove the trays after the trays are empty, so as to achieve continuous feeding of the product loading device 1. The clamp loading mechanism 2 and the clamp unloading mechanism 3 both refer to components or assemblies used to transport the stacking clamp 7. The clamp loading mechanism 2 and the clamp unloading mechanism 3 can be belt conveyor structures, chain conveyor structures, and the clamp loading mechanism 2 and the clamp unloading mechanism 3 can also be mechanical arm structures.

[0044] The positioning and pushing device 4 refers to a component or part that can fix the stacking fixture 7 at a specified position while transporting the stacking fixture 7. The placing and gluing device 5 refers to a device or component that can place a single product in the stacking fixture 7 and can also apply glue on the surface of the product after the product is placed.

[0045] The component stacking device provided by the embodiment of the present invention can stack multiple trays containing monomer products and place them on the product loading device 1, place multiple stacking fixtures 7 on the fixture loading mechanism 2, and transport the stacking fixtures 7 to the loading position in sequence. Then the positioning and pushing device 4 transports the stacking fixtures 7 from the loading position to the working position in sequence, and fixes the stacking fixtures 7 when the stacking fixtures 7 are at the working position, and places the monomer products placed on the tray in the stacking fixtures 7 in sequence by placing the glue coating device 5, and sprays glue on the surface of the product during placement. After the product stacking is completed, the positioning and pushing device 4 transports the product from the working position to the unloading position. Finally, the stacking fixtures 7 stacked with products at the unloading position are transported away by the fixture unloading mechanism 3. Compared with the manual stacking method used in the prior art, the working efficiency of component stacking can be improved, and at the same time, the accuracy of component stacking can be improved, and the quality of the product after component stacking can be improved.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The positioning and pushing device 4 includes a transport slide 41, a push transport member 42, a driving mechanism 43 and a clamp locking mechanism 44. The transport slide 41 is used to support the stacking clamp 7. The push transport member 42 is used to push the stacking clamp 7 to slide along the length direction of the transport slide 41. The driving mechanism 43 is used to drive the push transport member 42 to move along the first direction or the second direction. The first direction is a direction parallel to the length of the transport slide 41. The second direction is set at an angle to the first direction. The push transport member 42 approaches or moves away from the stacking clamp 7 along the second direction. After the push transport member 42 abuts against the stacking clamp 7, the driving mechanism 43 drives the push transport member 42 to move along the first direction to push the stacking clamp 7 to slide along the length direction of the transport slide 41. The clamp locking mechanism 44 is used to fix the stacking clamp 7 when the stacking clamp 7 moves to the working position. Specifically, the transport slide 41 refers to a slide structure with a certain length. The transport slide 41 may include a bottom plate and baffles arranged on both sides of the bottom plate. The pushing and transporting member 42 refers to a member having a certain volume, and the pushing and transporting member 42 can be block-shaped, plate-shaped, or a combination of multiple shapes. The driving mechanism 43 refers to a member or assembly used to drive the object to move. The clamp locking mechanism 44 refers to a member that can fix the object. When working, the pushing and transporting member 42 can be driven by the driving mechanism 43 to approach the stacking clamp 7 along the second direction. When the pushing and transporting member 42 abuts against the stacking clamp 7, the driving mechanism 43 drives the pushing and transporting member 42 to move along the first direction, which can push the stacking clamp 7 to move a certain distance along the first direction, and then the driving mechanism 43 drives the pushing and transporting member 42 to move away from the stacking clamp 7 along the second direction, and finally the pushing and transporting member 42 moves in the opposite direction along the first direction for a distance to return to the initial position. Repeating the above steps can realize the intermittent movement of the stacking clamp 7 along the transport slide 41, so that the transportation of the stacking clamp 7 can be more convenient and the transportation position can be more accurate.

[0047] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The push transport member 42 has a plurality of receiving notches 421 that are adapted to the size of the stacking fixture 7, and a plurality of receiving grooves are arranged at intervals along the first direction. When the push transport member 42 approaches the stacking fixture 7 along the second direction, the stacking fixture 7 is inserted into the receiving notch 421 through the mouth of the receiving notch 421, and when the push transport member 42 moves along the first direction, the stacking fixture 7 is pushed to move through the inner wall of the receiving notch 421. Specifically, the receiving notch 421 refers to a notch structure with a certain receiving space, and the opening of the receiving notch 421 is toward the stacking fixture 7 along the first direction. By arranging a plurality of receiving grooves at intervals along the first direction, when the push transport member 42 approaches the stacking fixture 7 along the second direction, the stacking fixture 7 is inserted into the receiving notch 421 through the mouth of the receiving notch 421, and when the push transport member 42 moves along the first direction, the stacking fixture 7 is pushed to move through the inner wall of the receiving notch 421. At the same time, a plurality of receiving grooves are arranged, and at this time, the distance moved along the first direction by the push transport member 42 in each movement cycle is equal to the distance between the two receiving grooves. During operation, one of the stacking fixtures 7 can be transported a certain distance through the receiving groove closest to the loading position, and then the transport member 42 is pushed to return to its original position. At this time, when the transport member 42 is pushed to approach the stacking fixture 7, the stacking fixture 7 will contact the next receiving groove, and the receiving groove close to the loading position will contact the new stacking fixture 7. Therefore, one stacking fixture 7 can be transported multiple times by pushing the movement of the transport member 42, and multiple stacking fixtures 7 can also be transported simultaneously, which makes the transportation of the stacking fixture 7 more convenient and also improves the transportation efficiency of the stacking fixture 7.

[0048] In one embodiment, see Figure 2The driving structure includes a base 431, an adjusting slider 432, a first driving unit 433 and a second driving unit 434.

The second driving unit 434 is used to drive the pushing transport member 42 to move along the first direction. Specifically, the base 431 and the adjusting slider 432 both refer to components with a certain volume, and the base 431 and the adjusting slider 432 can be block-shaped, plate-shaped or a combination of multiple shapes. The adjusting slider 432 can be slidably connected to the base 431 through a slider rail structure or a roller rail structure. At the same time, the pushing transport member 42 can also be slidably connected to the adjusting slider 432 through a slider rail structure or a roller rail structure. The first drive unit 433 and the second drive unit 434 both refer to components or assemblies that drive an object to move in a straight line. The first drive unit 433 and the second drive unit 434 can be cylinders, hydraulic cylinders or electric push rods, etc. The first drive unit 433 drives the adjusting slider 432 to move in the first direction, and the second drive unit 434 drives the pushing transport member 42 to move in the first direction, thereby realizing the movement of the pushing transport member 42 in the first direction and the second direction, which can make the movement of the pushing transport member 42 simpler and more convenient.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 3 The clamp locking mechanism 44 includes a locking abutment 441 and a locking drive unit 442. The locking abutment 441 is connected to the driving end of the locking drive unit 442.

The material discharging lifting member 45 is movably arranged at the working position, and the material discharging lifting member 45 has the freedom to move in the vertical direction relative to the transport slide 41. The bottom surface of the stacking fixture 7 has an avoidance structure 75. When the stacking fixture 7 is located at the working position, at least part of the material discharging lifting member 45 extends into the interior of the stacking fixture 7 through the avoidance structure 75. The lifting mechanism 46 is located below the transport slide 41, and the lifting mechanism 46 is used to drive the material discharging lifting member 45 to move. Specifically, the material discharging lifting member 45 refers to a component with a certain length. The material discharging lifting member 45 can be columnar, rod-shaped or strip-shaped. The lifting mechanism 46 refers to a component that drives the object to move linearly. The lifting mechanism 46 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The lifting mechanism 46 can also adopt a structure in which a power unit 464 cooperates with a transmission mechanism. When the stacking fixture 7 moves to the working position, at least a portion of the material discharging lifting member 45 can be extended into the stacking fixture 7 through the avoidance structure 75 to support a single product placed in the stacking fixture 7, and as the number of products increases, the material discharging lifting member 45 can be driven down by the lifting mechanism 46 until it completely exits the stacking fixture 7. The cooperation between the material discharging lifting member 45 and the lifting mechanism 46 can make it more convenient to put products into the stacking fixture 7.

[0051] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 4 The lifting mechanism 46 includes a lifting bracket 461, a lifting slider 462, a transmission unit 463 and a power unit 464. The lifting slider 462 is slidably arranged on the lifting bracket 461. The power unit 464 drives the lifting slider 462 to move in the vertical direction through the transmission unit 463. The material discharge lifting member 45 is arranged on the lifting slider 462 and can move with the lifting slider 462.

The two transplanting sliding seats 131 have the freedom to move in the horizontal direction relative to the tray placement structure 11 and the empty tray placement structure 12, and the two transplanting sliding seats 131 are arranged relatively to each other. The tray placement structure 11 and the empty tray placement structure 12 are both located in the area between the two transplanting sliding seats 131. A support component 132 is movably arranged on the transplanting sliding seat 131. A support driving unit 133 is also arranged between the support component 132 and the transplanting sliding seat 131, and the support driving unit 133 is used to drive the support component 132 to move. Specifically, the transplanting sliding seat 131 refers to a component with a certain volume, and the transplanting sliding seat 131 can be a block, a plate, or a combination of multiple shapes. The support component 132 refers to a component with a certain volume, and the support component 132 can be a block, a plate, or a combination of multiple shapes. By arranging two transplanting sliding seats 131 relatively to each other, and arranging the material tray placement structure 11 and the empty tray placement structure 12 in the area between the two transplanting sliding seats 131, the material tray can be transported from the material tray placement structure 11 to the empty tray placement structure 12, making feeding more convenient.

[0058] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Fig. 9The fixture loading mechanism 2 and the fixture unloading mechanism 3 include a fixture slide rail 21 and a conveyor belt 22. The fixture slide rail 21 is used to support the stacking fixture 7, and the conveyor belt 22 is used to drive the stacking fixture 7 to slide along the fixture slide rail 21. Specifically, the fixture slide rail 21 refers to a slide rail structure with a certain length, and the belt structure refers to a structure that can drive an object to slide along the length direction of the fixture slide rail 21. When in use, the stacking fixtures 7 can be placed on the conveyor belt 22. The conveyor belt 22 can move under the drive of the motor and the pulley, and drive the stacking fixture 7 to move together during the movement, so that the transportation of the stacking fixture 7 is more convenient and quick.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment, see Fig. 9 A fixture separation mechanism 8 is also provided on the fixture feeding mechanism 2. The fixture separation mechanism 8 is used to separate at least one stacking fixture 7 on the fixture slide rail 21 from other stacking fixtures 7. The fixture separation mechanism 8 includes a separation drive unit 82 and a fixture separator 81. The fixture separator 81 is provided on the driving end of the separation drive unit 82. The fixture separator 81 can approach the stacking fixture 7 under the action of the separation drive unit 82 and block the front of the stacking fixture 7 in the moving direction. Specifically, the fixture separator 81 can be a component with a certain length, and the fixture separator 81 can be columnar, strip-shaped or plate-shaped. The separation drive unit 82 refers to a component that drives an object to move in a straight line. The separation drive unit 82 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. When the stacking fixture 7 moves, the separation drive unit 82 can drive the fixture separator 81 to block in front of a certain stacking angle, so that part of the stacking angle stops moving and the other part of the stacking angle can continue to move, thereby achieving the purpose of separating the two parts and making the transportation of the stacking fixture 7 more convenient.

[0060] In a second aspect, a component stacking method is provided, using any of the component stacking devices described above, the component stacking method comprising the following steps:

[0061] Stacking a plurality of trays containing monomer products on the product loading device 1, placing a plurality of stacking fixtures 7 on the fixture loading mechanism 2, and transporting the stacking fixtures 7 to the loading position in sequence;

[0062] Specifically, the products are placed on the tray in a certain arrangement order, and the trays with the products are stacked in the tray placement structure 11 in the vertical direction. At the same time, multiple stacking clamps 7 are placed on the clamp slide rail 21 in sequence along the length direction of the clamp slide rail 21, and then the stacking clamps 7 are separated by the clamp separation mechanism 8.

[0063] The positioning and pushing device 4 transports the stacking fixtures 7 from the loading position in sequence and fixes them at the working position;

[0064] Specifically, the stacking clamp 7 located at the loading position is transported to the working position by pushing the transport member 42. When the stacking clamp 7 is transported to the working position, the locking abutment 441 is driven by the locking drive unit 442 to abut against the side of the stacking mold, and the stacking mold is clamped and fixed by the locking abutment 441 and the side baffle of the clamp slide rail 21.

[0065] The monomer products placed on the tray are placed in the stacking fixture 7 in sequence by placing the glue coating device 5, and the glue is sprayed on the surface of the product, and then the above steps are repeated until the required number is stacked;

[0066] Specifically, the product in the tray is sucked by the suction nozzle structure 53 on the robot arm, and after the right positioning camera confirms the direction, the product is moved and placed above the material discharge lifting member 45 in the stacking space on the stacking fixture 7; a proper amount of adhesive is sprayed on the upper surface of the product by the dispensing structure; the material discharge lifting member 45 is controlled to lower the height of one product by the lifting mechanism 46, and then the above steps are repeated until the required number of products is stacked in the stacking fixture 7;

[0067] After the product stacking is completed, the positioning and pushing device 4 transports the product from the working position to the unloading position;

[0068] Specifically, the stacking fixture 7 located at the working position is transported to the unloading position by pushing the transport member 42;

[0069] The stacking fixture 7 with products stacked thereon at the unloading location is transported away by the fixture unloading mechanism 3 .

[0070] Specifically, the stacking fixture 7 at the unloading position is transported along the length direction of the fixture slide rail 21 by a transmission belt.

[0071] It can be understood that the beneficial effects of the second aspect mentioned above can be found in the relevant description of the first aspect mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0072] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 After the product stacking is completed, the positioning and pushing device 4 transports the product from the working position to the unloading position, and the steps also include the following steps:

[0073] When the stacking clamp 7 is located at the specified position, the sorting drive unit 62 drives the sorting clamp 61 to move towards the direction close to the movable link 74, and clamps the movable link 74 when close to the movable link 74, and continues to push the movable link 74 to sort the stacked products, thereby making the stacked shape more precise.

[0074] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and only specifically describe the technical principles of the present invention. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations here, any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention, and other specific implementations of the present invention that can be associated with by technicians in this field without creative labor, should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
