The space utilization rate is improved, the flexible double-station operation equipment is more compact, and the long-term stable operation of the flexible double-station operation equipment is guaranteed. The above layout is reasonable and reliable, which can adapt to the needs of different processes and meet various operation needs, while also improving production efficiency and processing flexibility. The staggered arrangement of N+1 transplanting devices and N operation devices realizes the staggered transplanting and operation of products in the second direction, thereby making the flexible improvement of the flexible double-station operation equipment, so that N operators can work on one flexible double-station operation equipment at the same time, reducing the occupied space, reducing the difficulty of loading and unloading products, reducing energy loss, facilitating the regularity of the processing process, and helping to improve the continuity of work. The modular design of the transplanting carrier and the working carrier enables the flexible dual-station working equipment to flexibly adapt to the size and shape of different products, thereby improving the versatility of the flexible dual-station working equipment. The design of setting two transplanting carriers on the transplanting device can realize smooth interaction with the working carriers on the previous and next working devices respectively, so as to realize the operation of moving the product from the passing lane to the automatic lane and the product from the automatic lane back to the passing lane, so that the transplanting component can flexibly move the product between the conveyor lanes to realize the rapid transplantation and transmission of the product. The design of setting two working carriers on the working device can meet the design requirements of the dual-station, reduce the time for operators to wait for the product to move to the manual lane, improve the utilization rate of the working device, and greatly improve the work efficiency. In particular, the transplanting device and the working device can switch positions in the first direction to adapt to the needs of different stations, and at the same time convey the product in the second direction to realize the rapid transplantation of the product, further increasing the operating range and flexibility of the transplanting device. The design of the transplanting carrier with two transplanting components and the working carrier with three working components can be adapted to the overall operation of the flexible double-station working equipment, so as to adapt to various processing needs, ensuring that there is always a transplanting component or working component on the overtaking lane, thereby ensuring the transmission effect of the products to be processed and the processed products, minimizing the situation of products being stranded in the flexible double-station working equipment, optimizing the product's trajectory, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the flexible double-station working equipment.

The flexible dual-station operation equipment combines automation and manual operation to meet the needs of automatic and manual processing of products, ensuring both processing flexibility and convenience of operation, thereby meeting a variety of processing needs and improving processing efficiency and resource utilization. The above improvements enable the flexible dual-station operation equipment to achieve a flexible combination of different processes and action flows, reduce the labor intensity of operators, improve production efficiency, and achieve high-efficiency, high-flexibility and high-accuracy product processing and handling, ensuring product quality and effective recycling, and providing strong support for modern industrial production.

[0031] The workflow of the flexible dual-station operation equipment can intelligently determine whether each operation device carries two products by monitoring the positions of all products on the device, thereby avoiding position conflicts in the flexible dual-station operation equipment, ensuring the smoothness of the processing process, realizing accurate management and efficient use of products, and also providing accurate information for subsequent transplanting and processing. When each operation device carries two products, the scheme of controlling the loading device to cache and transmit the products can avoid excessive accumulation, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the operation. Through the cooperation of the transplanting device and the operation device, the efficient transmission and transplanting of products between the overtaking lane, the automatic lane and the manual lane can be achieved, which helps to improve the processing efficiency. The products in the automatic lane are processed by the automatic operation module to optimize the utilization of resources and improve the processing efficiency. In conjunction with the manual operation of the operator in the manual lane, the collaborative operation of man and machine can be achieved, and the flexibility and efficiency of processing can be improved. The workflow of the above-mentioned flexible dual-station operation equipment optimizes the steps of the work, reduces invalid operations, and improves the overall work efficiency. According to the load condition of the operation device and the position of the product, the movement and processing procedures of the product can be judged and processed, thereby reducing manual intervention and improving the accuracy and efficiency of the operation.

The transplanting carriers 120 can switch positions in the first direction Y so that the two transplanting assemblies 122 are respectively located at the avoidance lane 901 and the overtaking lane 902. The yield lane 901 and the overtaking lane 902 are arranged, or the two transplanting components 122 are respectively arranged on the overtaking lane 902 and the automatic lane 903, and the transplanting components 122 can transport the product 800 along the second direction X in the corresponding conveying lane; the operation device 200 includes an automatic operation module and two operation carriers 220, and the operation carriers 220 are provided with three operation components 222. The operation carriers 220 can switch positions in the first direction Y, so that the three operation components 222 are respectively arranged on the yield lane 901, the overtaking lane 902 and the automatic lane 903, or the three operation components 222 are respectively arranged on the overtaking lane 902, the automatic lane 903 and the manual lane 904, and the operation components 222 can transport the product 800 along the second direction X in the corresponding conveying lane, and the automatic operation module is used to process the product 800 on the operation component 222 in the automatic lane 903.

[0052] The flexible double-station operation equipment can efficiently and flexibly realize the processing process of product 800. By setting four parallel conveying lanes (i.e., avoidance lane 901, overtaking lane 902, automatic lane 903 and manual lane 904), multi-directional conveying and efficient circulation of product 800 are realized, and synchronous trajectory planning of all products 800 on the flexible double-station operation equipment is realized, the waiting time of product 800 is shortened as much as possible, and position conflicts between products 800 are avoided, space utilization is improved, and the flexible double-station operation equipment is made more compact, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the flexible double-station operation equipment. The above layout is reasonable and reliable, can adapt to the needs of different processes, meet various operation needs, and also improve production efficiency and processing flexibility. The staggered arrangement of N+1 transplanting devices 100 and N operating devices 200 realizes the staggered transplanting and operation of the product 800 in the second direction X, thereby making the flexible double-station operation equipment more flexible, allowing N operators to work on a flexible double-station operation equipment at the same time, reducing the occupied space, reducing the difficulty of loading and unloading the product 800, reducing energy loss, facilitating the regularity of the processing process, and helping to improve the continuity of work. The modular design of the transplanting carrier 120 and the operating carrier 220 enables the flexible double-station operation equipment to flexibly adapt to the size and shape of different products 800, improving the versatility of the flexible double-station operation equipment. The design of arranging two transplanting carriers 120 on the transplanting device 100 can realize smooth interaction with the working carriers 220 on the previous and the next working devices 200, respectively, so as to realize the operation of moving the product 800 from the passing lane 902 to the automatic lane 903 and the product 800 from the automatic lane 903 back to the passing lane 902, so that the transplanting component 122 can flexibly move the product 800 between the conveying lanes, and realize the rapid transplantation and transmission of the product 800. The design of arranging two working carriers 220 on the working device 200 can meet the design requirements of the double workstation, reduce the time for the operator to wait for the product 800 to move to the manual lane 904, improve the utilization rate of the working device 200, and greatly improve the work efficiency. In particular, the transplanting device 100 and the working device 200 can switch positions in the first direction Y to meet the needs of different workstations, and at the same time convey the product 800 in the second direction X to realize the rapid transplantation of the product 800, further increasing the operation range and flexibility of the transplanting device 100.The design that the transplanting carrier 120 is provided with two transplanting components 122 and the working carrier 220 is provided with three working components 222 is adapted to the overall operation of the flexible double-station working equipment, so as to adapt to various processing requirements, ensuring that the transplanting component 122 or the working component 222 is always provided on the overtaking lane 902, thereby ensuring the transmission effect of the product 800 to be processed and the processed product 800, reducing the situation that the product 800 is stranded in the flexible double-station working equipment as much as possible, optimizing the trajectory of the product 800, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the flexible double-station working equipment. The setting of the loading device 400 and the unloading device 500 ensures the continuity and efficiency of the processing of the product 800, enhances the flexibility and operating capacity of the flexible double-station working equipment, simplifies the loading and unloading process of the product 800, and the transplanting device 100 and the working device 200 staggered along the second direction X realize the automatic transplanting and operation of the product 800 between each station, greatly improving the production efficiency and operating flexibility. Moreover, the automatic operation module can process the product 800 on the automatic road 903, which helps to improve the processing efficiency of the product 800 and the degree of automation of the processing operation. The flexible double-station operation equipment combines automation and manual operation to meet the needs of automatic and manual processing of the product 800, ensuring both the flexibility of processing and the convenience of operation, thereby being able to meet a variety of processing needs and improving processing efficiency and resource utilization. The above improvements enable the flexible double-station operation equipment to achieve a flexible combination of different processes and action flows, reduce the labor intensity of operators, improve production efficiency, achieve high-efficiency, high-flexibility and high-accuracy processing and handling of the product 800, ensure the quality of the product 800 and effective recycling, and provide strong support for modern industrial production.

[0053] In this embodiment, the flexible duplex operation equipment is also provided with an intelligent monitoring system, which can monitor the position of the product 800 in real time, determine the load condition of the operation device 200, and control loading and unloading, etc., and intelligently determine and control the transmission, transplanting and operation of the product 800 through the control system, thereby realizing intelligent management of the flexible duplex operation equipment and improving the efficiency and accuracy of the operation.

[0054] The avoidance lane 901 is used to receive a transplanting component 122 extending from the transplanting carrier 120 and an operating component 222 extending from the operating carrier 220, and the product 800 will not enter the avoidance lane 901. The passing lane 902 is used to transfer the product 800 to be processed and the processed product 800, so that the loading device 400 can interact smoothly with the product 800 in the passing lane 902, and the unloading device 500 can interact smoothly with the product 800 in the passing lane 902. When the product 800 to be processed enters a transfer carrier 120 in front of the corresponding working device 200, the transfer carrier 120 is able to bring the product 800 from the passing lane 902 to the automatic lane 903. The product 800 to be processed is first transferred to the corresponding working carrier 220, and then brought from the automatic lane 903 to the manual lane 904 by the working carrier 220; the manual lane 904 is only used for manual processing operations by the operator, and the product 800 in the manual lane 904 does not need to move along the second direction X. After the processing is completed, the product 800 is only moved from the manual lane 904 back to the automatic lane 903 using the working carrier 220. The product 800 is then processed using the automatic working module, and then the product 800 is transferred along the second direction X to the next transfer carrier 120 (or working carrier 220). Finally, the product 800 is moved from the automatic lane 903 back to the passing lane 902 under the drive of the transfer carrier 120 (or working carrier 220). In the above-mentioned whole process, the movement trajectory of the product 800 is zigzag.

[0055] The above-mentioned flexible dual-station operation equipment can realize the dual-station online operation of human-machine collaboration. The above operation process is applied to the automated production process of electronic products (or other products), which can realize the flexible configuration of the operation device 200, and can be matched with any number of operation devices 200, and can realize the flexible combination of different processes and action processes.

[0056] This embodiment takes the electronic product processing flow as an example, in which product 800 is an electronic product. The operator's job is to perform an interface operation on product 800 on the operating component 222 at the manual path 904, and the automatic operating module is used to perform a pressure-maintaining operation on product 800 on the operating component 222 at the manual path 904.

[0057] In this embodiment, the transplanting device 100 also includes a transplanting platform 190 and a first guide rail 110 and a protective door 130 fixed on the transplanting platform 190. The protective door 130 selectively blocks the transplanting carrier 120 in the first direction Y. The transplanting carrier 120 also includes a first connecting frame 121. The transplanting assembly 122 is fixed to the first connecting frame 121. The first connecting frame 121 and the first guide rail 110 slide together along the first direction Y.

[0058] The transplanting device 100 realizes stable sliding of the transplanting device 100 in the first direction Y through the design of the transplanting platform 190 and the first guide rail 110, improves the accuracy of transplanting, and enhances the flexibility and safety of the flexible double-station operation equipment. The selective shielding function of the protective door 130 ensures the safety of the flexible double-station operation equipment during the transplanting process, effectively protects the safety of the operators, and prevents possible accidental injuries during the operation of the flexible double-station operation equipment. The design of the first connecting frame 121 and the transplanting assembly 122 enables the product 800 to be smoothly transported along the second direction X in the corresponding conveying path.

[0059] Exemplarily, the working device 200 also includes a working platform 290 and a limit member 230 and a second guide rail 210 fixed on the working platform 290, the limit member 230 is used to limit the extreme position of the movement of the working vehicle 220 relative to the working platform 290; the working vehicle 220 also includes a second connecting frame 221, the working component 222 is fixed to the second connecting frame 221, and the second connecting frame 221 and the second guide rail 210 are slidably matched along the first direction Y.

[0060] With the help of the design of the workbench 290 and the second guide rail 210, the movement of the work carrier 220 in the first direction Y is more stable and reliable to meet the needs of different processes. Through the combination of the workbench 290, the limiter 230 and the second guide rail 210, the extreme position of the work carrier 220 during the movement is limited, avoiding the collision or damage that may occur during the operation of the flexible double-station operation equipment, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the work carrier 220 during the operation. The coordinated use of the second connecting frame 221 and the work component 222 enables the work component 222 to move the product 800 along the second direction X in the corresponding conveying channel, so that the product 800 can be efficiently transferred between different conveying channels, and the continuity and efficiency of the processing are guaranteed. The automatic operation module can process the product 800 on the work component 222 in the automatic channel 903, improve the degree of automation and processing efficiency, and optimize the processing flow of the product 800.

If not, control the transplanting carrier 120 to move the products 800 from the passing lane 902 to the automatic lane 903, and then transfer the products 800 in the automatic lane 903 to the next operating device 200.

[0079] Step 4: When the product 800 located in the automatic lane 903 moves to a work vehicle 220, determine whether the corresponding work vehicle 220 carries two products 800.

Through the cooperation of the transplanting device 100 and the operation device 200, the efficient transmission and transplantation of the products 800 between the overtaking lane 902, the automatic lane 903 and the manual lane 904 can be realized, which helps to improve the processing efficiency. The products 800 in the automatic lane 903 are processed by the automatic operation module to optimize the utilization of resources and improve the processing efficiency. In cooperation with the manual operation of the operator in the manual lane 904, the collaborative operation of man and machine can be realized, and the flexibility and efficiency of processing can be improved.
