Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vacuum coating, and in particular to an umbrella taking and placing module and a loading and unloading mechanism. Background Art

[0002] At present, evaporation coating technology, as an important surface treatment technology, has been widely used in many industries, such as electronic products, optical devices, new energy materials, building materials, packaging and decoration, etc.

[0003] Evaporation coating technology heats the coating material, causing it to evaporate and deposit on the surface of the substrate to form a thin film, thereby giving the substrate specific functionality and aesthetics.

[0004] However, with the continuous improvement of automation and intelligence in the domestic manufacturing industry, the need for automation and intelligence in coating equipment is also increasing. Traditional evaporation coating equipment cannot achieve automated operation when picking up and placing workpieces, and still requires manual participation. First, open the sealed door in front of the evaporation coating equipment, remove the umbrellas or workpieces on the workpiece rack one by one, and then place the umbrellas or workpieces one by one. The process is cumbersome and time-consuming. A vacuum operation can only coat one surface of the workpiece, but vacuuming takes a long time and cannot improve the utilization rate of the equipment and improve the production efficiency of the equipment.

[0005] However, a huge challenge in improving the automation capabilities of evaporation coating equipment is the placement and removal of umbrellas. Umbrellas with both flat and curved shapes need to be placed on umbrella stands with narrow space and difficult docking.

[0006] The umbrella stand on the top of the evaporation coating equipment is approximately a cone, and the docking is also inclined, which is extremely inconvenient to take and put. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides an umbrella taking and placing module and a loading and unloading mechanism, which can adjust the angle of taking and placing the umbrella, so as to more conveniently take and place the umbrella.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] The present invention provides an umbrella pick-up and placement module, comprising a support member, a rotating member, a rotating drive module, a first pickup assembly and a second pickup assembly, wherein the rotating member is rotatably disposed on the support member, the rotating drive module is used to drive the rotating member to rotate, and the first pickup assembly and the second pickup assembly are both installed on the rotating member;

[0010] The umbrella taking and placing module is used to perform the following steps:

[0011] Obtain the current first posture of the parachute to obtain the tilt angle of the parachute;

[0012] The rotating member is driven to rotate by the rotating driving module so that the rotating member rotates to an inclined angle;

[0013] Picking up different positions of the same umbrella respectively by the first picking component and the second picking component;

[0014] After being transferred to the specific position, the rotary drive module drives the rotary member to rotate again, so that the umbrella rotates from the second posture, and then the umbrella is placed at the specific position.

[0015] Furthermore, the support member is provided with a rotating seat, a rotating shaft is provided between the support member and the rotating seat, one end of the rotating member is installed on the rotating seat, and the rotating drive module drives and connects the rotating shaft.

[0016] Furthermore, the first pickup assembly is installed at the bottom of one end of the rotating member, and the second pickup assembly is installed at the bottom of the other end of the rotating member.

[0017] Furthermore, the number of the first pickup components is at least two, and the at least two first pickup components are spaced apart and arranged at the bottom of one end of the rotating member.

[0018] Furthermore, the rotation driving module has an angle sensor, and the angle sensor is used to obtain the rotation angle of the rotation driving module.

[0019] Furthermore, the first picking component picks up the umbrella by one or more methods of magnetic attraction, clamping, tensioning, and negative pressure adsorption.

[0020] Furthermore, the second picking-up component picks up the umbrella by one or more methods of magnetic attraction, clamping, tensioning, and negative pressure adsorption.

[0021] Furthermore, the obtaining of the current first posture of the umbrella to obtain the tilt angle of the umbrella specifically includes:

[0022] Obtain the shape and posture of the parachute to calculate the pick-up position of the parachute;

[0023] Draw a line on the projection of the vertical plane to connect the pick-up positions of the umbrella, calculate the angle between the line and the horizontal plane, and record it as the tilt angle of the umbrella.

[0024] Furthermore, the first pickup assembly and the second pickup assembly can be detachably mounted on the rotating member.

[0025] The present invention also provides a loading and unloading mechanism, comprising a moving module, wherein the moving module is drivingly connected to at least one of the above-mentioned umbrella taking and placing modules.

[0026] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention arranges a rotating drive module and a rotating part so that the first picking-up component and the second picking-up component can be tilted and adjusted according to the current posture of the umbrella, thereby realizing that the first picking-up component and the second picking-up component are rotated to the angle corresponding to the umbrella before picking up the umbrella, thereby achieving the effect of picking up the umbrella safely and conveniently.

[0031] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings, and the contents mentioned in the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an umbrella 2 picking and placing module 1, including a support member 11, a rotating member 12, a rotating drive module 13, a first picking assembly 14 and a second picking assembly 15. The rotating member 12 is rotatably disposed on the support member 11, the rotating drive module 13 is used to drive the rotating member 12 to rotate, and the first picking assembly 14 and the second picking assembly 15 are both installed on the rotating member 12.

[0034] Specifically, the umbrella 2 taking and placing module 1 is used to perform the following steps:

[0035] Acquire the current first posture of the umbrella 2 to obtain the tilt angle of the umbrella 2;

[0036] The rotating member 12 is driven to rotate by the rotating driving module 13 so that the rotating member 12 rotates to a tilt angle;

[0037] The first picking component 14 and the second picking component 15 respectively pick up different positions of the same umbrella 2;

[0038] After being transferred to the specific position, the rotation driving module 13 drives the rotating member 12 to rotate again, so that the umbrella 2 rotates from the second posture, and then the umbrella 2 is placed at the specific position.

[0039] Taking the loading of a flat umbrella 2 onto an umbrella stand as an example, the present invention first drives the rotating member 12 to rotate through the rotating drive module 13, so that the rotating member 12 is adjusted to a horizontal state, and then the first picking component 14 and the second picking component 15 pick up different positions of the same umbrella 2; then, the present invention leaves the position where the umbrella 2 is placed under the drive of the outside world, and moves to the top of the umbrella stand, and then, according to the inclination angle of the position where the umbrella 2 is placed on the umbrella stand, the rotating member 12 is controlled by the rotating drive module 13 to rotate, so that the first picking component 14 and the second picking component 15 rotate relative to each other, driving the umbrella 2 to rotate to the second posture; finally, the outside world drives the present invention to descend and place the umbrella 2 at a specific position of the umbrella 2.

[0040] The present invention can be adjusted according to the current posture of the umbrella 2, thereby achieving the effect of flexible picking up of the clamp, so that loading and unloading of the umbrella 2 relative to the umbrella frame is more flexible and convenient.

[0041] In this embodiment, the support member 11 is provided with a rotating seat 16 , a rotating shaft 17 is provided between the support member 11 and the rotating seat 16 , one end of the rotating member 12 is mounted on the rotating seat 16 , and the rotating driving module 13 is driven to connect to the rotating shaft 17 .

[0042] In actual use, the rotary drive module 13 can be a motor, a rotary cylinder, a rotary oil cylinder, etc. Its purpose is to drive the rotating member 12 to rotate with the rotating shaft 17 as the axis. All structures that can achieve this function belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] Specifically, the first pickup assembly 14 is installed at the bottom of one end of the rotating member 12 , and the second pickup assembly 15 is installed at the bottom of the other end of the rotating member 12 .

[0044] That is, the first pickup component 14 is located directly below the straight line where the rotating shaft 17 is located, so that the position change of the first pickup component 14 is small when the rotating part 12 rotates. The advantage is that when the first pickup component 14 moves to directly above a pickup position of the umbrella 2, the present invention does not need to move again. Subsequently, only the rotating part needs to be rotated, and the first pickup component 14 will only rotate directly above the pickup position, ensuring the positioning effect, so that the vacuum coating equipment equipped with the present invention can more easily realize automatic loading and unloading of the umbrella 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the number of the first pickup components 14 is at least two, and the at least two first pickup components 14 are disposed at intervals at the bottom of one end of the rotating member 12 .

[0046] As in the present embodiment, there are two first pickup assemblies 14, and the two first pickup assemblies 14 are both located directly below the straight line where the rotation axis 17 is located. The second pickup assembly 15 cooperates with the two first pickup assemblies 14 to form a three-point positioning effect, so that the present invention can pick up the umbrella 2 more stably and avoid the umbrella 2 from flipping over during the picking up or moving process.

[0047] In this embodiment, the rotation drive module 13 has an angle sensor (not shown in the figure), which is used to obtain the rotation angle of the rotation drive module 13. The angle sensor can be a conventional sensor, that is, through the setting of the angle sensor, the rotation angle of the rotation drive module 13 can be monitored, so as to ensure that the rotating member 12 does not rotate excessively, so that the loading and unloading umbrella 2 is more stable.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first pickup assembly 14 picks up the umbrella 2 by one or more methods such as magnetic attraction, clamping, tensioning, and negative pressure adsorption.

[0049] Similarly, the second picking-up component 15 picks up the umbrella 2 by one or more methods such as magnetic attraction, clamping, tensioning, and negative pressure adsorption.

[0050] That is, different umbrellas 2 may have different structures:

[0051] If the umbrella 2 has a protrusion shape on its surface suitable for clamping, the first picking assembly 14 and the second picking assembly 15 can pick up the umbrella 2 by clamping.

[0052] When the front side of the umbrella 2 has a countersunk hole or a through hole suitable for a pin or shaft to be lifted in and connected, the first pickup assembly 14 and the second pickup assembly 15 can pick up the umbrella 2 in a tensioning manner.

[0053] When the umbrella 2 has a smooth surface, the first picking assembly 14 and the second picking assembly 15 pick up the umbrella 2 by negative pressure adsorption.

[0054] When the umbrella 2 has a magnetizable structure, the first pickup assembly 14 and the second pickup assembly 15 pick up the umbrella 2 by magnetic attraction.

[0055] Of course, the structures of the first pickup assembly 14 and the second pickup assembly 15 can be structures that have only one of the above functions. In this case, the first pickup assembly 14 and the second pickup assembly 15 can be detachably mounted on the rotating member 12, for example, by screwing. At this time, the staff can replace the first pickup assembly 14 and the second pickup assembly 15 according to the actual structure of the umbrella 2 for use.

[0056] Another way is that both the first pickup assembly 14 and the second pickup assembly 15 are multifunctional, and they integrate at least two kinds of pickup structures respectively, so that they can switch to the corresponding pickup structure according to the structure of the umbrella 2 to be picked up to pick up the umbrella 2. This way belongs to the superposition of conventional pickup structures. Although the structure is relatively complex, it omits the time of replacing the first pickup assembly 14 and the second pickup assembly 15, which is conducive to improving efficiency and is applicable to umbrellas 2 with various structures.

[0057] In this embodiment, the step of acquiring the current first posture of the umbrella 2 to obtain the tilt angle of the umbrella 2 specifically includes:

[0058] Acquire the shape and posture of the umbrella 2 to calculate the pickup position of the umbrella 2;

[0059] A line is drawn on the projection of the vertical plane to connect the pick-up positions of the umbrella 2 , and the angle between the line and the horizontal plane is calculated and recorded as the inclination angle of the umbrella 2 .

[0060] That is, for some umbrellas 2, they are placed at an angle on the umbrella frame, and the umbrella 2 itself is also a non-flat structure, and even the thickness of different positions of the umbrella 2 is different. At this time, it is only necessary to determine the pick-up position of the umbrella 2, and then connect the projections of the pick-up position (mainly a first pick-up component 14 and a second pick-up component 15) on the vertical plane to obtain a line segment with an angle with the horizontal plane, and the angle is the inclination angle of the clamp. The rotating member 12 of the present invention only needs to rotate to this angle and then descend until the first pick-up component 14 and the second pick-up component 15 are in contact with the umbrella 2 and then perform the action, so that the umbrella 2 can be picked up smoothly.

[0061] Therefore, the present invention can realize reliable picking up of umbrellas 2 with special shapes such as non-flat structures and irregular structures, thereby improving flexibility and making the vacuum coating process of automatic loading and unloading easier to realize.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a loading and unloading mechanism, including a moving module 3, which is drivingly connected to at least one umbrella 2 pick-up and placement module 1 described in Example 1. The moving module 3 preferably has the function of moving in at least the Z-axis direction and the X-axis direction, so that the moving module 3 only needs to translate and lift, and cooperate with the rotation of the umbrella 2 pick-up and placement module 1 described in Example 1, so as to achieve reliable pick-up and placement of umbrellas 2 in various postures and shapes.

[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention is disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with the profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes by using the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments according to the technology of the present invention are within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention.
