This process usually involves a series of complex steps, in which the application of automation technology greatly improves efficiency and accuracy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention more obvious, the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments of the present invention, and it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein. Based on the embodiments of the present invention described in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] In the following description, a large amount of details are provided so that the present invention can be thoroughly understood. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the following description only exemplarily illustrates a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention can be implemented without one or more such details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well known in the art are not described in detail.

[0034] In order to fully understand the embodiments of the present invention, detailed structures will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may also have other embodiments.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present application, a material conveying system is provided, which can not only ensure the flexibility of conveying materials, but also simplify the mechanical structure of the material conveying system and the required occupied space. A material conveying system according to an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the material conveying system includes a clamping assembly 1, a swing assembly 2, a lifting assembly 3 and a translation assembly 4. The clamping assembly 1 is used to clamp materials. The swing assembly 2 is connected to the clamping assembly 1 to drive the clamping assembly 1 to swing in a first plane, and the first plane is determined by a straight line where the first direction A1 and the second direction A2 are located. The lifting assembly 3 is connected to the swing assembly 2 to drive the swing assembly 2 to move along the second direction A2. The translation assembly 4 is connected to the lifting assembly 3 to drive the lifting assembly 3 to move along the third direction A3, and the first direction A1, the second direction A2 and the third direction A3 are perpendicular to each other. Among them, the swing assembly 2 has a transmission end 28. When the swing assembly 2 drives the clamping assembly 1 to swing in the first plane, the clamping assembly 1 rotates around its own rotation axis through the transmission end 28 to keep the direction of the clamped material unchanged.

[0037] The first direction A1 can be represented as the direction of the X axis in the Cartesian coordinate system, the second direction A2 can be represented as the direction of the Z axis in the Cartesian coordinate system, and the third direction A3 can be represented as the direction of the Y axis in the Cartesian coordinate system, so the first plane can be specifically represented as a vertical plane.

[0038] The swing component 2 can have a rotation center line rotating in a vertical plane. One end of the swing component 2 is connected to the lifting component 3, and the other end of the swing component 2 is connected to the clamping component 1. The swing component 2 can make the clamping component 1 rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the rotation center line of the swing component 2 in the vertical plane.

[0039] The transmission end 28 of the swing assembly 2 can rotate freely relative to the swing assembly 2. Specifically, when the clamping assembly 1 clamps the material, the swing assembly 2 can drive the clamping assembly 1 to rotate in the vertical plane. In addition, the transmission end 28 can also drive the clamping assembly 1 to rotate around the rotation axis of the clamping assembly 1 itself, so that the orientation of the clamped material is always in the vertical direction.

[0040] The clamping assembly 1 may include a power output member 11 and a clamping jaw 12 . The power output member 11 may drive the clamping jaw 12 to rotate circumferentially in the horizontal direction, so that the clamping assembly 1 has a larger clamping range, thereby improving the flexibility and practicality of the clamping assembly 1 .

[0041] The swing assembly 2 of the present application can drive the clamping assembly 1 to swing in the first plane, and the lifting assembly 3 and the translation assembly 4 can respectively drive the lower clamping assembly 1 to move along the second direction A2 and the third direction A3, that is, the material conveying system can be used to realize the movement of the clamping assembly 1 in three-dimensional space, so that while ensuring the flexibility of the material conveying system, the mechanical structure of the material conveying system is simplified, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. It can also reduce the space required for the material conveying system and improve the practicality of the material conveying system. Moreover, during the movement of the clamping assembly 1 clamping the material, the direction of the material can remain unchanged, thereby avoiding the occurrence of material spillage during the movement, and effectively ensuring the safety and reliability of the material conveying system.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the swing assembly 2 includes a swing arm 21 and a first driving member 22, the swing arm 21 has a first position and a second position, the first driving member 22 is connected to the first position of the swing arm 21 through a first shaft 23, the clamping assembly 1 is connected to the second position of the swing arm 21 through a second shaft 24, and the transmission end 28 is formed at one end of the second shaft 24 close to the clamping assembly 1.

[0043] The swing arm 21 may have a first position and a second position that are far from each other. The swing arm 21 may be in the shape of an elongated plate, which can ensure that the swing assembly 2 has a larger swing space and reduce the volume space occupied by the swing assembly 2.

[0044] The first shaft 23 can be connected to the first position of the swing arm 21, and the clamping assembly 1 can be connected to the second position of the swing arm 21 through the output end of the second shaft 24. In this way, when the first driving member 22 drives the swing arm 21 to rotate in the vertical plane through the first shaft 23, the clamping assembly 1 can be synchronously rotated at the second position of the swing arm 21 through the second shaft 24, and can be rotated around the second shaft 24 through the transmission end 28 to keep the direction of the clamped material unchanged.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the first driving member 22 and the clamping assembly 1 can be connected to the first position and the second position on the swing arm 21 through the first axis 23 and the second axis 24 respectively. When the swing arm 21 rotates around the first axis 23, the rotation range of the clamping assembly 1 connected to the second axis 24 can be effectively improved, thereby improving the flexibility and practicality of the swing assembly 2.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the swing assembly 2 also includes a first wheel body 25, a second wheel body 26 and a first transmission belt 27. The first wheel body 25 is sleeved outside the first shaft 23, the second wheel body 26 is fixedly connected to the second shaft 24, and the first transmission belt 27 is wound between the first wheel body 25 and the second wheel body 26. When the first driving member 22 drives the swing arm 21 to rotate around the first shaft 23, the swing arm 21 drives the second wheel body 26 to perform planetary motion around the first wheel body 25 through the second shaft 24 and the first transmission belt 27.

[0047] The two ends of the first shaft 23 can be connected to the first position of the swing arm 21 and the first driving member 22 respectively, the first wheel body 25 can be sleeved on the outside of the first shaft 23, and the second wheel body 26 can be sleeved on the outside of the second shaft 24 and connected to the second shaft 24. The second wheel body 26 and the first wheel body 25 are arranged side by side along the length direction of the long plate-shaped swing arm 21.

[0048] The transmission belt can be sleeved on the outside of the first wheel body 25 and the second wheel body 26. When the first driving member 22 drives the first shaft 23 to rotate, the first shaft 23 can drive the swing arm 21 and the second shaft 24 to rotate synchronously, and the second wheel body 26 can perform planetary motion around the first wheel body 25 driven by the second shaft 24 and the transmission belt. That is, the second wheel body 26 can rotate around the first wheel body 25 while also rotating around the rotation center of the second wheel body 26.

[0049] In the above embodiment, when the clamping assembly 1 is driven by the swing arm 21 to rotate, the first wheel body 25, the second wheel body 26 and the transmission belt can cause relative rotation between the second shaft 24 and the swing arm 21, and then the output end of the second shaft 24 can cause relative rotation between the clamping assembly 1 and the swing arm 21. In this way, it is not only ensured that the direction of the material clamped by the clamping assembly 1 is always in the vertical direction, but also the structure of the swing assembly 2 is compact and the layout is reasonable.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting assembly 3 includes a first transmission member 31 and a second driving member 32 for driving the first transmission member 31 to move. The first transmission member 31 is connected to the swing assembly 2, and the second driving member 32 drives the swing assembly 2 to move along the second direction A2 through the first transmission member 31.

[0051] The first transmission member 31 may include a third wheel body 311, a fourth wheel body (not shown in the figure) and a first belt body 312. The third wheel body 311 and the fourth wheel body may be arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The first belt body 312 may be sleeved on the third wheel body 311 and the fourth wheel body. The swing assembly 2 may be connected to the first belt body 312, and the second driving member 32 may be connected to the third wheel body 311. When the second driving member 32 drives the third wheel body 311 to rotate in a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction, the driving assembly may move synchronously in the vertical direction under the drive of the third wheel body 311, the fourth wheel body and the first belt body 312.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the lifting assembly 3 can drive the swing assembly 2 to move in the vertical direction, and then drive the clamping assembly 1 connected to the swing assembly 2 to move in the vertical direction, which effectively improves the transfer range and flexibility of the material conveying system.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the translation assembly 4 includes a second transmission member 41 and a third driving member 42 for driving the second transmission member 41 . The second transmission member 41 is connected to the lifting assembly 3 . The third driving member 42 drives the lifting assembly 3 to move along the third direction A3 through the second transmission member 41 .

[0054] The second transmission member 41 may include a fifth wheel body 411, a sixth wheel body 412, and a second belt body 413. The fifth wheel body 411 and the sixth wheel body 412 may be arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. The second belt body 413 may be sleeved outside the fifth wheel body 411 and the sixth wheel body 412. The lifting assembly 3 may be connected to the second belt body 413, and the third driving member 42 may be connected to the fifth wheel body 411. When the third driving member 42 drives the fifth wheel body 411 to rotate in a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction, the lifting assembly 3 may move synchronously in the horizontal direction under the drive of the fifth wheel body 411, the sixth wheel body 412, and the second belt body 413.

[0055] A slide rail may be provided on one side of the translation component 4 close to the lifting component 3, and a slide groove matched with the slide rail may be provided on the lifting component 3. Through the sliding connection between the slide groove and the slide rail, the lifting component 3 can have better stability when moving in the horizontal direction.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the translation component 4 can drive the lifting component 3 to move in the horizontal direction, and then drive the swing component 2 and the clamping component 1 to move in the horizontal direction, so that the material conveying system has the ability to transfer materials in a narrow space, further improving the transfer range and flexibility of the material conveying system.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the material conveying system also includes a lifting assembly 5 and a second transmission belt 6. The clamping assembly 1 is used to transfer the material to the second transmission belt 6, and the lifting assembly 5 is used to transfer the material from a third position on the second transmission belt 6 to a fourth position above the second transmission belt 6.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the lifting assembly 5 can transfer the material located at the third position on the second transmission belt 6 to the fourth position, thereby realizing the transfer of the material in the vertical direction, effectively improving the transfer range of the material conveying system, and thus greatly improving the practicality of the material conveying system.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting assembly 5 includes a supporting member 51, a first matching member 52, a second matching member 53 and a pushing member 54. The supporting member 51 has a first state of clamping the material and a second state of loosening the material; the first matching member 52 is set at the third position; the second matching member 53 is set at the fourth position; the pushing member 54 is connected to the supporting member 51, and the pushing member 54 has a first matching state abutting against the first matching structure, and a second matching state abutting against the second matching structure;

[0060] Among them, the pushing member 54 forms a first matching structure with the first matching member 52 in the first matching state, and forms a second matching structure with the second matching member 53 in the second matching state. During the process of the supporting member 51 moving from the third position to the fourth position, it switches from the second state to the first state through the first matching structure, and switches from the first state to the second state through the second matching structure.

[0061] The lifting assembly 5 can move the material from the third position to the fourth position by clamping or supporting. Of course, the connection method between the lifting assembly 5 and the material is not limited in this application, and any connection method that can drive the material to move is within the scope of this application.

[0062] The third position and the fourth position may represent the starting position and the ending position in different directions, respectively. For example, the fourth position may be arranged above the third position in the vertical direction, or the fourth position may be arranged behind the third position in the horizontal direction, and this application does not make any limitation on this.

[0063] The pushing member 54 can be arranged on one side of the lifting component 5 close to the first matching member 52 and the second matching member 53. When the lifting component 5 moves from the third position to the fourth position, the pushing member 54 driven by the lifting component 5 can respectively abut against the first matching part and the second matching part to form the first matching state and the second matching state, respectively.

[0064] Specifically, when the jacking assembly 5 is located at the third position, the pushing member 54 can sequentially abut against different positions on the first matching structure, so that the jacking assembly 5 switches from the state of loosening the material to the state of clamping the material. When the jacking assembly 5 is in the state of loosening the material, the material can be freely placed on the supporting member 51, and when the jacking assembly 5 is in the state of clamping the material, the material can be firmly fixed on the supporting member 51. When the jacking assembly 5 moves from the third position to the fourth position, the jacking assembly 5 is always in the state of clamping the material to avoid the material from falling off during the transportation process. When the jacking assembly 5 reaches the fourth position, the pushing member 54 can sequentially abut against different positions on the second matching structure, so that the jacking assembly 5 switches from the state of clamping the material to the state of loosening the material, and the material can be freely taken to perform subsequent operation steps.

[0065] In the above embodiment, when the lifting component 5 drives the material to move from the third position to the fourth position, the lifting component 5 can switch between the first state and the second state through the mutual cooperation between the pusher 54 and the first matching component 52 and the second matching component 53, thereby ensuring that the lifting component 5 can release the material to facilitate the user's use when it is in the third position and the fourth position, and avoiding the occurrence of skewness, falling, etc. of the material in the process of moving from the third position to the fourth position. In addition, a set of driving systems can be used to make the material conveying system have multiple functions of moving, clamping and loosening, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost, processing difficulty and failure rate of the material conveying system, and effectively improves the convenience and experience of users.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the supporting member 51 includes a supporting portion 511, a first clamping portion 512 and a second clamping portion 513. The first clamping portion 512 and the second clamping portion 513 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the supporting portion 511. The pushing member 54 is connected to the first clamping portion 512. When the pushing member 54 causes the first clamping portion 512 to move toward the direction approaching the second clamping portion 513, the supporting member 51 can be in the first state. When the pushing member 54 causes the first clamping portion 512 to move toward the direction away from the second clamping portion 513, the supporting member 51 can be in the second state.

[0067] The supporting portion 511 may be a plate-shaped loading platform. When the material is placed on the supporting portion 511 , the first clamping portion 512 and the second clamping portion 513 may be respectively located at two opposite sides of the material to clamp the material.

[0068] The first clamping portion 512 can be located on a side away from the pushing member 54, and the second clamping portion 513 can be located on a side close to the pushing member 54. Driven by the pushing member 54, the first clamping portion 512 can move toward or away from the second clamping portion 513, respectively, so that the clamping assembly 1 is in the first state or the second state.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the pushing member 54 can drive the first clamping portion 512 to move relative to the second clamping portion 513, so that the supporting member 51 can switch between the first state and the second state, effectively simplifying the connection structure of the material conveying system and ensuring the compactness of the structure of the material conveying system.

[0070] In some embodiments, Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the supporting member 51 also includes a third transmission member 514 and an elastic member, the two ends of the third transmission member 514 are respectively connected to the first clamping portion 512 and the pushing member 54, and the third transmission member 514 passes through the second clamping portion 513 and is connected to the pushing member 54, the elastic member is sleeved outside the third transmission member 514, and the two ends of the elastic member are respectively abutted against the first clamping portion 512 and the second clamping portion 513, and the elastic member applies a force to the first clamping portion 512 to make it close to the second clamping portion 513.

[0071] The third transmission member 514 can be shaped like a rod, one end of the third transmission member 514 is connected to the first clamping portion 512, and the other end of the third transmission member 514 passes through the second clamping portion 513 and is connected to the pushing member 54. In this way, driven by the pushing member 54, the first clamping portion 512 can be relatively displaced relative to the second clamping portion 513.

[0072] The elastic member may be a spring or other member that undergoes elastic deformation after being subjected to force, and the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0073] When the pushing member 54 abuts against the first mating member 52 or the second mating member 53, the pushing member 54 can drive the first clamping portion 512 to move away from the second clamping portion 513 through the third transmission member 514. At this time, the elastic member is deformed after being subjected to the pulling force. When the pushing member 54 is separated from the first mating member 52 or the second mating member 53, the elastic member can restore the deformation and drive the first clamping portion 512 to move toward the second clamping portion 513.

[0074] In the above embodiment, through the connection and cooperation between the third transmission member 514 and the elastic member, the supporting member 51 can have a first state of clamping the material and a second state of releasing the material without the need for other power drive, thereby further simplifying the connection structure of the supporting member 51 and improving the rationality of the structural layout of the supporting member 51.

[0075] In some embodiments, Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the first matching member 52 includes a first inclined surface 521 and a first vertical surface 522 connected to the lower end of the first inclined surface 521 , and the upper end of the first inclined surface 521 is farther away from the pushing member 54 than the lower end of the first inclined surface 521 .

[0076] When the pusher 54 contacts the first vertical surface 522, the pusher 54 can drive the first clamping portion 512 to move away from the second clamping portion 513, so that the supporting member 51 is in the second state of releasing the material. When the pusher 54 continues to move and contacts the first inclined surface 521, the pusher 54 can gradually drive the first clamping portion 512 to move toward the second clamping portion 513 along with the inclination angle of the first inclined surface 521, so that the supporting member 51 gradually switches from the second state to the first state. When the pusher 54 is completely separated from the first inclined surface 521, the supporting member 51 can be in the first state of clamping the material, so as to ensure a firm connection between the material and the supporting member 51 during the transportation process.

[0077] In the above embodiment, by the pushing member 54 respectively abutting against the first vertical surface 522 and the first inclined surface 521, the supporting member 51 can be gradually switched from the second state to the first state, so as to ensure that the material can be freely taken before transportation, and the firmness and reliability of the clamped material can be ensured during transportation, thereby effectively improving the practicality of the jacking assembly 5.

[0078] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the second matching member 53 includes a second inclined surface 531 and a second vertical surface 532 connected to the upper end of the second inclined surface 531 , and the lower end of the second inclined surface 531 is farther away from the pushing member 54 than the upper end of the second inclined surface 531 .

[0079] When the pusher 54 contacts the second inclined surface 531, the pusher 54 can gradually drive the first clamping portion 512 to move away from the second clamping portion 513 according to the inclination angle of the second inclined surface 531, so that the supporting member 51 gradually switches from the first state to the second state. When the pusher 54 continues to move and contacts the second vertical surface 532, the pusher 54 can continue to drive the first clamping portion 512 to move away from the second clamping portion 513, so as to maintain the supporting member 51 in the second state of releasing the material.

[0080] The first vertical surface 522 and the second vertical surface 532 may be arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and the first inclined surface 521 and the second inclined surface 531 may be symmetrically arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0081] In the above embodiment, by the pushing member 54 respectively abutting against the second inclined surface 531 and the second vertical surface 532, the supporting member 51 can be gradually switched from the first state to the second state when the supporting member 51 is in the second position, so that the material can be freely taken for subsequent operation steps, thereby further improving the practicality of the jacking assembly 5.

[0082] In some embodiments, the material conveying system further includes a stop assembly 7 disposed near the second transmission belt 6 . When the clamping assembly 1 transports the material to the supporting member 51 , the stop assembly 7 acts on the material to place the material at a target position on the supporting member 51 .

[0083] The stopper assembly 7 may be located on one side or both sides of the lifting assembly 5. After the clamping assembly 1 transports the material to the supporting member 51, the stopper assembly 7 may apply a force to the material to push the material to the target position.

[0084] The target position can be represented by different positions on the supporting member 51. For example, the target position can be the central area on the supporting member 51, or can be an area on the supporting member 51 close to the stop assembly 7 or away from the stop assembly 7. The user can determine the target position according to actual use needs and situations, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the stopper assembly 7 can push the material to the target position to avoid the material from falling during the transportation process due to the material not being completely placed on the supporting member 51 and causing the material to be loosely connected to the supporting member 51. In addition, the target position can be determined according to different user requirements, effectively ensuring the practicality and universality of the lifting assembly 5.

[0086] In some embodiments, the second transmission belt 6 includes two belt bodies 61 arranged in parallel along the third direction A3 , and the two belt bodies 61 are arranged on opposite sides of the first matching member 52 .

[0087] The supporting member 51 can be disposed below the two belt bodies 61, and the two belt bodies 61 can be disposed on opposite sides of the first matching member 52. The two ends of the material can be respectively placed on the two belt bodies 61, so that the material can be transported to the top of the supporting member 51 through the two belt bodies 61. When the material is located above the supporting member 51, the supporting member 51 can move upward so that the material can be placed on the supporting member 51, thereby moving the material from the first position to the second position.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the materials can be smoothly transported to the supporting member 51 through the two belts 61 , which effectively ensures the stability of the materials during the transportation process, thereby improving the reliability of the jacking assembly 5 .
