Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of graphite boat disassembly and assembly technology, specifically relating to a disassembly and assembly device for graphite boat carriers. Background Technology

[0002] As the cost of photovoltaic power generation continues to decrease, solar power generation will have a broader market space. Graphite boats, as a carrier for coating anti-reflective films on solar cells, directly affect the conversion efficiency and production efficiency of silicon wafers due to their structure and size. Currently, the assembly and disassembly of graphite boats requires manual labor, necessitating two people to operate them. This not only consumes manpower but also leads to high labor intensity due to the large size and weight of the graphite boats, resulting in low employee satisfaction and reduced assembly and disassembly efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The objective of this invention is to at least solve the problem of low assembly and disassembly efficiency in existing graphite boats. This objective is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0004] A first aspect of the present invention provides a disassembly and assembly device for a graphite boat carrier, comprising:

[0005] A base having a work station and a placement station;

[0006] A flipping mechanism includes a clamping assembly and a flipping component. The flipping component is connected to the base and can rotate about a first direction. The flipping component can also move to the work station along a second direction. The clamping assembly is disposed on the flipping component and can move with the movement of the flipping component. A clamping space for fixing a graphite boat is formed in the clamping assembly. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0007] A disassembly and assembly mechanism is provided on the base, and the disassembly and assembly mechanism is used to disassemble and assemble the nuts and boat feet of the graphite boat at the working station;

[0008] A transfer mechanism is provided on the base. The transfer mechanism is used to move the components of the graphite boat to the work station for assembly or to the corresponding placement station for storage.

[0009] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting component and a support component respectively disposed on the base. The top of the support component has the working position. The lifting component is disposed at the bottom of the support component and can move toward or away from the support component. The support component has a positioning space through it. The positioning space is used for the ceramic rod of the graphite boat to pass through the support component. The lifting component is used to support the ceramic rod passing through the positioning space, so as to realize the separation or combination of the ceramic rod and the graphite boat sheet.

[0010] According to the technical solution of the present invention, the base is used to support and fix the flipping mechanism, the disassembly and assembly mechanism, the transfer mechanism, and the lifting mechanism. The clamping assembly can clamp the graphite boat in the clamping space. The flipping component can drive the graphite boat clamped by the clamping assembly to flip, which facilitates the disassembly or removal of the graphite boat. The disassembly and assembly mechanism can disassemble and assemble the nuts and boat feet of the graphite boat at the working station. The transfer mechanism is used to move the boat blades, ceramic rings, washers, and gaskets of the graphite boat to the working station for assembly or to the corresponding placement station for storage. The ceramic rod can pass through the positioning of the support component. The device provides a space for contact with the lifting component. As the lifting component moves away from the support plate, the ceramic rod and graphite boat leaf can be automatically detached. Similarly, as the lifting component moves towards the support plate, the ceramic rod and graphite boat leaf can be combined. In addition, the positioning space can position the ceramic rod, which can then be detached from or combined with the graphite boat leaf. This facilitates accurate storage after detachment or precise positioning during assembly.

[0056] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a disassembly and assembly device 100 for a graphite boat 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, this invention proposes a disassembly and assembly device 100 for a graphite boat 200. The disassembly and assembly device 100 for a graphite boat 200 includes a base 70, a flipping mechanism 10, a disassembly and assembly mechanism, a transfer mechanism, and a lifting mechanism 50. The base 70 has a working station and a placement station. The flipping mechanism 10 includes a clamping assembly and a flipping component. The flipping component is connected to the base 70 and can rotate around a first direction. The flipping component can also move along a second direction to the working station. The clamping assembly is disposed on the flipping component and can move with the flipping component. A clamping space for fixing the graphite boat 200 is formed within the clamping assembly. The first and second directions are perpendicularly arranged. The disassembly and assembly mechanism is disposed on the base 70 and is used to disassemble and assemble the nuts and boat feet of the graphite boat 200 at the working station. The transfer mechanism is set on the base 70. The transfer mechanism is used to move the boat blades, ceramic rings, washers and gaskets of the graphite boat 200 to the work station for assembly or to the corresponding placement station for storage. The lifting mechanism 50 includes a lifting member 53 and a support member 52 respectively set on the base 70. The top of the support member 52 has a work station. The lifting member 53 is set at the bottom of the support member 52 and can move toward or away from the support member 52. The support member 52 is provided with a positioning space. The positioning space is used for the ceramic rod 202 of the graphite boat 200 to pass through the support member 52. The lifting member 53 is used to support the ceramic rod 202 passing through the positioning space so as to realize the separation or combination of the ceramic rod 202 and the graphite boat blades.

[0057] According to the technical solution of the present invention, the base 70 is used to support and fix the flipping mechanism 10, the disassembly and assembly mechanism, the transfer mechanism, and the lifting mechanism 50. The clamping assembly can clamp the graphite boat 200 in the clamping space. The flipping component can drive the graphite boat 200 clamped by the clamping assembly to flip, which facilitates the disassembly or removal of the graphite boat 200. The disassembly and assembly mechanism can disassemble and assemble the nuts and boat feet of the graphite boat 200 at the working station. The transfer mechanism is used to move the boat blades, ceramic rings, washers, and gaskets of the graphite boat 200 to the working station for assembly or to the corresponding placement station for storage. The ceramic rod 202 can pass through the positioning hole of the support member 52. The ceramic rod 202 and the graphite boat sheet are automatically detached as the lifting member 53 moves away from the support plate. Similarly, the lifting member 53 moves towards the support plate to combine the ceramic rod 202 and the graphite boat sheet. Furthermore, the positioning space allows for the positioning of the ceramic rod 202, which can then be detached from or combined with the graphite boat sheet, facilitating accurate storage or precise positioning during assembly. The disassembly and assembly device 100 for the graphite boat 200 of this invention enables automated disassembly and assembly of various components of the graphite boat 200, improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly. In this embodiment, the graphite boat carrier can be an optical graphite boat.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the clamping assembly includes a first clamping member 121 and a second clamping member 122. Both the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 are disposed on the flipping member and can move with the movement of the flipping member. There is a clamping space between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122, and the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 can move relative to each other.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the flipping component includes a first plate portion 1111 and a second plate portion 1112 connected together, the first plate portion 1111 and the second plate portion 1112 being vertically arranged, and the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 being both disposed on the first plate portion 1111. In this embodiment, based on the structural characteristics of the graphite boat 200, the loading angle and disassembly angle of the graphite boat 200 differ by 90 degrees (e.g., Figure 2 and 3 As shown, Figure 2 The first state of feeding the graphite boat 200 onto the flipping part. Figure 3(This refers to the second state after the graphite boat 200 has been rotated 90°). Therefore, the graphite boat 200 loaded onto the rotating member needs to be rotated. The rotated graphite boat 200 also needs to be supported. In this embodiment, the first plate part 1111 is used to hold the graphite boat transported manually or by AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle). One side of the placed graphite boat 200 abuts against the second plate part 1112. Then, the first clamping part and the second clamping part fix the graphite boat 200 from the first direction. Then, by rotating the rotating member, the 90° posture adjustment of the rotating member is realized. The adjusted graphite boat 200 will act on the second plate part 1112, thereby realizing the support of the second plate part 1112 for the graphite boat 200 after rotating 90 degrees. In addition, the rotating member can move along the second direction, thereby moving the graphite boat 200 on the rotating member to the working position, thereby realizing the disassembly or installation of the graphite boat 200.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the clamping assembly also includes a third clamping member 123. The third clamping member 123 is disposed on the side of the first plate portion 1111 away from the second plate portion 1112. The third clamping member 123 can move toward or away from the second plate portion 1112. The first clamping member 121, the second clamping member 122, the third clamping member 123, and the second plate portion 1112 enclose a clamping space. In this embodiment, when the graphite boat 200 is placed on the first plate portion 1111 manually or by an AGV, it will first abut against the second plate portion 1112. Then, the first clamping member 121, the second clamping member 122, and the third clamping member 123 move toward the graphite boat 200 respectively, achieving abutment against the graphite boat 200 in three directions. In conjunction with the second plate portion 1112, the graphite boat 200 can be fixedly clamped in four directions, ensuring the stability and reliability of the graphite boat 200 during the flipping process.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping assembly further includes a first driving component, a second driving component, and a third driving component. The first driving component, the second driving component, and the third driving component can be a motor or a cylinder, or other driving structure capable of linear propulsion or retraction. The first driving component is disposed on the first plate portion 1111 and connected to the first clamping member 121, and can drive the first clamping member 121 to move toward or away from the second clamping member 122. The second driving component is disposed on the first plate portion 1111 and connected to the second clamping member 122, and can drive the second clamping member 122 to move toward or away from the first clamping member 121. The third driving component is disposed on the first plate portion 1111 and connected to the third clamping member 123, and can drive the third clamping member 123 to move toward or away from the second plate portion 1112.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, a third clamping member 123 is located between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122 along the arrangement direction of the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122. In this embodiment, since the graphite boat 200 has a cuboid structure, the above arrangement can ensure that the third clamping member 123 clamps and abuts against the graphite boat 200 between the first clamping member 121 and the second clamping member 122, thereby improving reliability.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, multiple third clamping members 123 are provided, and the multiple third clamping members 123 are spaced apart along the first direction. In this embodiment, the multiple third clamping members 123 are spaced apart along the first direction, which can contact the graphite boat 200 in the clamping space at multiple positions in the first direction, realize clamping at multiple points, and thus ensure that the graphite boat 200 will not shift or shake during the flipping process, thereby improving reliability and stability.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the multiple third clamping members 123 can be driven synchronously by a third driving member, or the multiple third driving members can drive the multiple third clamping members 123 separately.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the flipping mechanism 10 further includes a first driving member 25 and a second driving member 26. The first driving member 25 and the second driving member 26 are respectively driven and connected to opposite ends of the first plate portion 1111 along a first direction, and can drive the first plate portion 1111 to rotate around the first direction. The first direction coincides with the arrangement direction of the first driving member 25 and the second driving member 26. In this embodiment, the first driving member 25 has a first rotating shaft, and the second driving member 26 has a second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is connected to one end of the first plate portion 1111 and can drive the first plate portion 1111 to rotate around the first direction. The second rotating shaft is connected to the other end of the second plate portion 1112 and can drive the first plate portion 1111 to rotate around the first direction. The first rotating shaft can rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft under the drive of the first driving member 25, and the second rotating shaft can rotate around the axis of the second rotating shaft under the drive of the second driving member 26.

[0066] Specifically, by using a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft to act on opposite ends of the first plate portion 1111, sufficient driving force can be provided to drive the first plate portion 1111, thereby increasing the driving force. At the same time, when the first plate portion 1111 is rotated, the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft can provide two rotation positions, thereby providing two rotation support positions and improving reliability.

[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the arrangement direction between the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis coincides with the first direction, that is, the first plate portion 1111 can rotate around the arrangement direction of the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first driving member 25 and the second driving member 26 are both rotary motors.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple first clamping members 121 are provided, and the multiple first clamping members 121 are spaced apart along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. In this embodiment, the multiple first clamping members 121 are spaced apart along the second direction, which can contact the graphite boat 200 in the clamping space at multiple positions in the second direction, realizing clamping at multiple points. Combined with the structure of multiple third clamping members 123, it can further ensure that the graphite boat 200 will not shift or shake during the flipping process, thereby improving reliability and stability.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the multiple first clamping members 121 can be driven synchronously by a first driving component, or the multiple first driving components can drive the multiple first clamping members 121 respectively.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple second clamping members 122 are provided, and the multiple second clamping members 122 are spaced apart along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. In this embodiment, the multiple second clamping members 122 are spaced apart along the second direction, which can contact the graphite boat 200 in the clamping space at multiple positions in the second direction, realizing clamping at multiple points. Combined with the structure of multiple first clamping members 121 and multiple third clamping members 123, it further ensures that the graphite boat 200 will not shift or shake during the flipping process, thereby improving reliability and stability.

[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, the multiple second clamping members 122 can be driven synchronously by a second driving member, or the multiple second driving members can drive the multiple second clamping members 122 separately.

[0073] This invention is based on the structural characteristics of the graphite boat 200. The loading angle and disassembly angle of the graphite boat 200 differ by 90 degrees. To achieve the conversion between loading and disassembly, the graphite boat 200 needs to be flipped. Currently, loading is done manually or by AGV. This flipping action involves two employees manually tilting and flipping the graphite boat 200 from both ends. However, improper manual operation and force control can damage the graphite boat 200. The flipping mechanism 10 in this embodiment can flip the graphite boat 200 90° after loading, rotating it to the corresponding disassembly angle. Rotation is achieved through the flipping component, and it is fixed by the clamping assembly, achieving slow and gentle rotation of the graphite boat 200, reducing damage. Furthermore, it reduces the labor intensity of employees and improves employee satisfaction.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a first disassembly and assembly component 20, which includes:

[0075] First fixed seat 21;

[0076] Rotating component 22 is connected to the first fixed base 21 and can rotate about its own axis.

[0077] The fixing member 23 is connected to one end of the rotating member 22 and can rotate with the rotating member 22. The fixing member 23 has a fixing cavity 233 on the side away from the rotating member 22. The fixing cavity 233 is used to match the shape of the nut.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing member 23 includes a first clamping member 231 and a second clamping member 232, the first clamping member 231 and the second clamping member 232 are spaced apart and can move relative to each other, and a fixing cavity 233 is formed between the first clamping member 231 and the second clamping member 232.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first clamping component 231 and the second clamping component 232 are respectively connected to one end of the rotating component 22 and can move relative to each other to adjust the size of the fixing cavity 233, thereby adapting to the shape of different types of nuts and bolts, and improving the versatility and applicability of the fixing component 23.

[0080] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first clamping member 231 is provided with a first fixing groove on the side facing the second clamping member 232, and the second clamping member 232 is provided with a second fixing groove on the side facing the first clamping member 231. The first fixing groove and the second fixing groove together form a fixing cavity 233.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first disassembly and assembly assembly 20 further includes a first driving member 25. The first driving member 25 is disposed on the first fixed base 21 and is drivenly connected to the first clamping member 231 and the second clamping member 232, respectively, and can drive the first clamping member 231 and the second clamping member 232 to move relative to each other. In this embodiment, the first driving member 25 is a rotary power motor, commonly referred to simply as a rotary motor, which is a rotary electromagnetic machine that operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction and is used to realize the mutual conversion between mechanical energy and electrical energy. The rotary power motor is disposed on the first fixed base 21, and the rotating member 22 is connected to the output end of the rotary power motor. The output end of the rotary power motor can rotate and drive the rotating member 22 to rotate. When the fixed cavity 233 matches the shape of a nut or bolt, the rotating member 22 can drive the nut or bolt to rotate, thereby realizing the disassembly operation.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing cavity 233 includes a first cavity 2331 and a second cavity 2332 that are connected to each other. The first cavity 2331 is disposed on the side of the second cavity 2332 away from the rotating member 22. In this embodiment, the first cavity 2331 is used to adapt to the shape of the nut or the bolt. Since the nut is sleeved on the ceramic rod 202 of the graphite boat 200 and the ceramic rod 202 protrudes from the nut, the second cavity 2332 can accommodate the protruding ceramic rod 202, and the first cavity 2331 can accommodate the nut, thereby avoiding interference between the protruding ceramic rod 202 and the fixing member 23, and improving reliability.

[0083] Specifically, in other embodiments of the present invention, the nut can also be sleeved outside other connecting posts, the second cavity 2332 is used to accommodate the connecting post with the protruding nut, and the first cavity 2331 is used to accommodate the nut, which can also avoid the problem of the protruding connecting post interfering with the fixing member 23.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the orthographic projection of the second cavity 2332 toward the first cavity 2331 is located within the first cavity 2331. In this embodiment, the nut is typically fitted over the ceramic rod 202 because the outer diameter of the nut is larger than the diameter of the ceramic rod 202. Therefore, the above arrangement allows the diameter of the ceramic rod 202 and the length of the second cavity 2332 along the arrangement direction of the first clamping member 231 and the second clamping member 232 to be more closely matched. Simultaneously, it allows the outer diameter of the nut to be more closely matched with the length of the first cavity 2331 along the arrangement direction of the first clamping member 231 and the second clamping member 232, thereby improving reliability.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4As shown, the first assembly / disassembly assembly 20 also includes a guide member 24, which is disposed on the first fixed base 21. The guide member 24 has a through hole 43311 disposed along the axial direction of the rotating member 22. The rotating member 22 passes through the through hole 43311 and can rotate relative to the guide member 24. In this embodiment, the guide member 24 is a plate-like structure, and the thickness direction of the plate-like structure is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating member 22. The rotating member 22 passes through the through hole 43311. Since the rotating member 22 can move along the axial direction of the rotating member 22 with the first fixed base 21, the through hole 43311 can limit the position of the rotating member 22, so that the rotating member 22 can only move along its axial direction, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the movement of the rotating member 22.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first disassembly and assembly assembly 20 further includes a second driving member 26. The second driving member 26 is connected to the first fixed base 21 and the rotating member 22 respectively, and the second driving member 26 can drive the rotating member 22 to rotate. In this embodiment, the second driving member 26 is a cylinder. The cylinder can be driven to connect with the first clamping member 231 to realize the movement of the first clamping member 231 toward or away from the second clamping member 232, thereby fixing the nut or the like in the fixing cavity 233. The cylinder can also be driven to connect with the second clamping member 232 to realize the movement of the second clamping member 232 toward or away from the first clamping member 231, thereby fixing the nut or the like in the fixing cavity 233. The cylinder can also be driven to connect with the first clamping member 231 and the second clamping member 232 respectively to realize the relative movement of the first clamping member 231 and the second clamping member 232, thereby fixing the nut or the like in the fixing cavity 233.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first fixed base 21 is provided with a slide rail, and the second driving member 26 is connected to the slide rail and can move along the axial direction of the rotating member 22. In this embodiment, the above arrangement enables the second driving member 26 to lift the nut after the fixed member 23 has been disassembled, and also enables the second driving member 26 to install the nut after the fixed member 23 has been fixed, thereby realizing the installation of the ceramic rod 202 and the nut.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fixed cavity 233 has a cross-section in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotating member 22 as a regular hexagon. In this embodiment, the fixed cavity 233 can be in the shape of an equal hexagonal prism. Since the nut is also mostly hexagonal prism, the fixed cavity 233 can directly engage with the outer surface of the nut, thereby enabling the nut to disengage from the ceramic rod 202 or to assemble with the ceramic rod 202 when the rotating member 22 rotates relative to the fixed member 23.

[0089] The existing method for assembling and disassembling the nuts on the graphite boat 200 involves manual loosening and tightening, which is inefficient, prone to damaging the nuts, and can result in incomplete tightening if the force is not properly controlled. Furthermore, graphite causes extensive black grime on workers' hands, creating a very poor working environment. The assembly and disassembly mechanism of this invention enables automatic disassembly and tightening of the graphite boat 200 nuts. The torque can be controlled by the second drive component 26, improving the working environment for operators, reducing labor intensity, and increasing employee satisfaction.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a second disassembly and assembly component 30, which includes:

[0091] The fixing component 31 includes a second fixing seat 311 and a movable seat 312. The movable seat 312 is disposed on the second fixing seat 311 and is movable along a third direction. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are arranged perpendicularly to each other.

[0092] The movable component 32 is disposed on the movable base 312 and can move with the movable base 312. The movable component 32 can move relative to the movable base 312 along a first direction. The movable component 32 is used to move the boat foot and realize the assembly of the boat foot and the graphite boat sheet.

[0093] The positioning element 33 is disposed on the movable seat 312 and can move with the movable seat 312. The positioning element 33 can move relative to the movable seat 312 along a first direction. One end of the positioning element 33 along the first direction is provided with a positioning groove 331, which is used to cooperate with the graphite boat sheet.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, the movable member 32 includes a first fixed platform, a first gripper 321 and a second gripper 322. The first fixed platform is connected to the movable seat 312. The first gripper 321 and the second gripper 322 are spaced apart on the side of the first fixed platform away from the movable seat 312. There is a gripping space between the first gripper 321 and the second gripper 322, and the first gripper 321 and the second gripper 322 can move relative to each other.

[0095] In this embodiment, the first gripper 321 and the second gripper 322 are spaced apart and connected to the same side of the first fixed platform away from the movable seat 312, and can move relative to each other to adjust the length of the gripping space along the second direction, thereby enabling the gripping of graphite boat 200 feet of different sizes and improving versatility and applicability.

[0096] Specifically, in this embodiment, the graphite boat 200 foot is located at a placement station for placing the graphite boat 200 foot. Since the moving part 32 can move along the first direction and the second direction respectively, it can move to the placement station for placing the graphite boat 200 foot, thereby clamping the graphite boat 200 foot, and then moving the graphite boat 200 foot toward the direction of multiple graphite boat pages. Since the side of the graphite boat 200 foot facing the graphite boat page is provided with a plug-in groove, during the movement, the graphite boat page and the graphite boat 200 foot can be plugged in and assembled through the plug-in groove.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first fixed platform is equipped with a position detector 34, which is spaced apart from the clamping space along a first direction. The position detector 34 is used to detect whether the first assembly is assembled in place. In this embodiment, the position detector 34 is a photoelectric detector with a detection end. The detection end is arranged towards the clamping space along a third direction. Since the length of the graphite boat 200 foot along the first direction is greater than the length of the clamping space, the graphite boat 200 foot will extend out of the clamping space. When the graphite boat 200 foot is not assembled with the graphite boat leaf, the detection end of the photoelectric detector will not detect the graphite boat 200 foot extending out of the clamping space. When the graphite boat 200 foot is not installed in place with the graphite boat leaf due to resistance or interference from other components, the graphite boat 200 foot will move relative to the moving part 32 in a direction away from the graphite boat leaf, thereby enabling the photoelectric detector to detect the graphite boat 200 foot and transmit this signal to the operator so that the operator knows that the graphite foot is not installed in place and needs to go to the site to manually intervene with the graphite boat 200 foot and graphite boat leaf.

[0098] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the insertion slot of the graphite boat 200 pin is successfully assembled with the graphite boat page, the graphite boat 200 pin will not move relative to the moving part 32, and the photodetector will not detect the graphite boat 200 pin. This indicates that the graphite boat 200 pin and the graphite boat page have been successfully assembled.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first gripper 321 and the second gripper 322 are arranged perpendicular to the second direction. In this embodiment, the above arrangement ensures that the graphite boat 200 feet located in the gripping space can extend out of the gripping space at both ends along the first direction, thereby facilitating cooperation with the graphite boat sheet and improving reliability.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning groove 331 has a first groove surface and a second groove surface along a third direction. Along the direction from the bottom of the positioning groove 331 toward the opening of the positioning groove 331 (this opening is the opening of the positioning groove 331 along the first direction), the distance between the first groove surface and the second groove surface increases. In this embodiment, the above arrangement allows the length of the opening of the positioning groove 331 along the third direction to be relatively large, thereby facilitating the smooth entry of the graphite boat sheet into the positioning groove 331, serving as a guide, and achieving coarse positioning of the graphite boat sheet and the positioning groove 331. As the graphite boat sheet moves toward the bottom of the positioning groove 331, and the distance between the first groove surface and the second groove surface decreases, the graphite boat sheet can gradually achieve precise positioning with the bottom of the groove, realizing the positioning between the moving member 32 and the graphite boat sheet. Simultaneously, since the moving member 32 clamps the graphite boat 200 feet, precise positioning and assembly between the graphite boat sheet and the graphite boat 200 feet can be achieved.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the positioning groove 331 is disposed through the positioning member 33 along the second direction. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned arrangement ensures that the graphite boat sheet is completely inserted into the positioning groove 331, thereby achieving the positioning and engagement of the graphite boat sheet and the positioning groove 331 and improving reliability.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 and 6 As shown, multiple positioning slots 331 are provided, and the multiple positioning slots 331 are spaced apart along a third direction. In this embodiment, the multiple positioning slots 331 can cooperate with multiple graphite boat sheets to further improve the positioning accuracy of the graphite boat sheets and the moving part 32, and ultimately ensure the precise assembly of the graphite boat 200 feet connected to the moving part 32 with the graphite boat sheets.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 and 6 As shown, along the first direction, one end of the positioning member 33 protrudes relative to the moving member 32. In this embodiment, the above arrangement ensures that the positioning groove 331 at one end of the positioning member 33 of the assembly mechanism first engages with the graphite boat sheet, and only after successful positioning engagement will the graphite boat 200 foot and the graphite boat sheet be assembled.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, the movable component 32 includes a second fixed platform and a suction nozzle. The second fixed platform is connected to the movable base 312, and the suction nozzle is connected to the side of the second fixed platform opposite to the movable base 312. In this embodiment, the suction nozzle structure can also pick up and move the graphite boat 200 feet, and achieve assembly and cooperation with the graphite boat sheets.

[0105] The assembly mechanism of this invention clamps the graphite boat 200 feet with the first gripper 321 and the second gripper 322, and achieves docking of the graphite boat 200 feet with the graphite boat sheets under the guiding and positioning action of the positioning groove 331. When the insertion fails to be aligned in one go, the graphite boat 200 feet of the moving part 32 are moved up and down by the moving seat 312 to automatically find the graphite boat sheets and thus achieve insertion and assembly.

[0106] The working principle of the assembly mechanism of the present invention is as follows: the first gripper 321 and the second gripper 322 of the moving member 32 clamp the feet of the graphite boat 200. As the moving member 32 and the positioning member 33 move toward the graphite boat page, the positioning groove 331 will first contact the graphite boat page, playing a guiding and positioning role. The moving member 32 continues to move toward the graphite boat page to realize the insertion and assembly of the feet of the graphite boat 200 and the graphite boat page. When there is a slight deviation and it cannot be inserted in one go, the moving seat 312 can drive the feet of the graphite boat 200 to move in the first direction, so that the insertion groove of the feet of the graphite boat 200 is assembled with the graphite boat page.

[0107] The organization mechanism of this invention enables fully automated assembly of graphite boat sheets and graphite boat 200-pin side insertion, saving manpower. Moreover, the assembly mechanism has higher assembly precision and consistency than manual assembly, which can improve quality and reduce boat sheet damage. In addition, it reduces the labor intensity of employees and improves employee satisfaction.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 and 8 As shown, the transfer mechanism includes a first transfer component 40, which includes:

[0109] Third fixed seat 41;

[0110] The transfer unit 42 is connected to the third fixed base 41;

[0111] The sorting component 43 includes a first sorting compartment 431 and a second sorting compartment 432 respectively connected to the third fixed base 41. Along the third direction, the first sorting compartment 431 is located at the top of the second sorting compartment 432. The first sorting compartment 431 has a first receiving cavity, and the second sorting compartment 432 has a second receiving cavity that communicates with the first receiving cavity. A separator 433 is provided in the first receiving cavity. The separator 433 has a through hole structure 4331. The through hole structure 4331 is used to allow the gasket to pass through and to prevent the gasket from passing through. The transfer unit 42 is used to move the gasket and the gasket to the side of the through hole structure 4331 away from the second sorting compartment 432. The third direction, the first direction and the second direction are arranged perpendicularly to each other.

[0112] Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the washer is smaller than the outer diameter of the gasket.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8As shown, the through-hole structure 4331 has multiple through holes 43311, which are spaced apart along a first direction to form a through-hole group. In this embodiment, the through holes 43311 are circular holes. The through holes 43311 allow gaskets to pass through and reach the second sorting bin 432, while preventing gaskets from passing through and keeping the gaskets in the first sorting bin 431. By setting multiple through holes 43311 and arranging them along the first direction, multiple gaskets and multiple gaskets can be screened, improving the screening efficiency.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, multiple through-hole groups are provided, and these groups are spaced apart along the second direction. In this embodiment, the multiple through-hole groups spaced apart along the second direction ensure that the through-holes 43311 are respectively distributed throughout the first and second directions on the separator 433. This maximizes the use of space by the separator 433 in setting the through-holes 43311, further improving the sorting efficiency of the separator 433 for gaskets and shims. Furthermore, when the direction in which the transfer unit 42 transports the gaskets and shims is skewed, the separation member 433 is filled with through-holes 43311, which does not affect the sorting of gaskets and shims by the through-holes 43311, thus improving reliability.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present invention, the diameter of the through hole 43311 is larger than the outer diameter of the gasket and smaller than the outer diameter of the gasket. In this embodiment, the above arrangement allows the gasket to pass smoothly through the through hole 43311 and enter the second receiving cavity of the second sorting bin 432, and also prevents the gasket from passing through the through hole 43311, so that the gasket remains in the first receiving cavity of the first sorting bin 431, thereby realizing the sorting operation of the two materials.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present invention, the distance between adjacent through-hole groups is greater than the distance between adjacent through-holes 43311. In this embodiment, the above arrangement can increase the distance between through-hole groups, so that gaskets that cannot pass through through-holes 43311 remain in the positions between through-hole groups, which facilitates the storage of gaskets and reduces the occurrence of gaskets clogging through-holes 43311 due to excessive density between through-hole groups.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first receiving cavity has a first opening and a second opening disposed along a third direction, the second opening connecting the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity. A cover plate is disposed at the first opening, and the cover plate has an opening for the passage of gaskets and shims acquired by the transfer unit 42. In this embodiment, the cover plate at the first opening prevents other impurities from entering the first receiving cavity of the first sorting bin 431 during the sorting process, thereby avoiding the situation where impurities clog the through hole 43311. The through hole 43311 on the cover plate facilitates the transfer unit 42 in conveying the gaskets and shims to the side of the through hole structure 4331 opposite to the second sorting bin 432, improving reliability.

[0118] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second opening is used to connect the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity, so that the gasket passing through the through hole 43311 can smoothly enter the first receiving cavity, thereby improving reliability.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cover is made of transparent glass. In this embodiment, the transparent glass allows the operator to see the collection status of the gaskets in the first sorting bin 431, so that if too many gaskets are collected, the operator can empty the first sorting bin 431 in a timely manner, avoiding the problem of excessive gaskets clogging the through hole 43311.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present invention, the transfer unit 42 includes a gas source, a first pipeline, and a second pipeline. The outlet of the gas source is connected to one port of the first pipeline, and the other port of the first pipeline is connected to the first receiving cavity and located on the side of the separator 433 away from the second sorting compartment 432. One port of the second pipeline is connected to the first pipeline, and the other port of the second pipeline is used to absorb gaskets and pads. In this embodiment, the gas source is a container for storing gas and can deliver gas to the outside through the outlet. The first pipeline is used to quickly blow the gas from the gas source toward the side of the separator 433 away from the second sorting compartment 432. Because there is rapidly flowing gas in the first pipeline, the pressure in the first pipeline is relatively low. Since the second pipeline is connected to the first pipeline, the first pipeline can absorb the gas from the second pipeline toward the gaskets and pads, so that the gaskets and pads are drawn from the other port of the second pipeline into the first pipeline and then blown by the gas toward the other port of the first pipeline, i.e., above the separator 433.

[0121] Specifically, in this embodiment, the transfer unit 42 is a suction component that can suck up the gaskets and washers of the second pipeline and finally discharge them above the separator 433, similar in principle to a vacuum cleaner or nozzle.

[0122] In some embodiments of the present invention, the transfer unit 42 includes a robotic arm for gripping and moving the gaskets and washers to the side of the separator 433 opposite to the second sorting compartment 432. In this embodiment, the transfer unit 42 can also be a robotic arm, which can also perform the transfer operation of the gaskets and washers by gripping the gaskets and washers differently and moving them to the side of the separator 433 opposite to the second sorting compartment 432.

[0123] The sorting mechanism of this invention can automatically pick up and collect graphite boat 200 washers and gaskets, and can also automatically screen and classify graphite boat 200 washers and gaskets, reducing the labor intensity of employees and improving employee satisfaction.

[0124] In some embodiments of the present invention, the transfer mechanism includes a second transfer component 60, which includes a robotic arm capable of moving the boat blades and ceramic rings to a work station for assembly or to a corresponding placement station for storage.

[0125] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, the lifting mechanism 50 also includes a fourth fixed base 51. A support member 52 is spaced apart and connected to one side of the fourth fixed base 51, forming an accommodating space between the support member 52 and the fourth fixed base 51. The lifting member 53 is connected to the fourth fixed base 51 and located within the accommodating space. The support member 52 includes a first support portion 521, a second support portion 522, and a connecting portion 523. The connecting portion 523 is spaced apart and connected to one side of the fourth fixed base 51, forming an accommodating space with the fourth fixed base 51. The first support portion 521 and the second support portion 522 are spaced apart and connected to the side of the connecting portion 523 away from the fourth fixed base 51, forming a clearance space 524 between the first support portion 521 and the second support portion 522.

[0126] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, a first gripper 5211 is provided on the side of the first support portion 521 facing the second support portion 522. The first gripper 5211 includes a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion. A positioning space is formed between the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion, and they can move relative to each other. The positioning space is provided through the connecting portion 523.

[0127] And / or, such as Figure 9 As shown, a second gripper 5221 is provided on the side of the second support 522 facing the first support 521. The second gripper 5221 includes a third gripping part and a fourth gripping part. A positioning space is formed between the third gripping part and the fourth gripping part, and they can move relative to each other. The positioning space is provided through the connecting part 523.

[0128] Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple graphite boats are stacked, and multiple ceramic rods 202 pass through the stacked graphite boats. The multiple graphite boats and ceramic rods 202 are mounted on a support plate, with nuts connected to both ends of the ceramic rods 202 to secure them. After placing the ceramic rods 202 and graphite boats on the support plate, the nuts on the side of the ceramic rods 202 facing away from the fixing seat are first removed. Without the top end securing it, the ceramic rods 202 move towards the lifting member 53 and abut against it through the positioning space. Then, as the lifting member 53 moves towards the fixing seat, the graphite boats can be disassembled layer by layer until the ceramic rods 202 are completely detached from the graphite boats, completing the disassembly operation.

[0129] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the graphite boat on the support member 52 needs to be combined with the ceramic rod 202 on the lifting member 53, the lifting member 53 only needs to move the ceramic rod 202 toward the support member 52 to achieve the cooperation between the ceramic rod 202 and the graphite boat.

[0130] In this embodiment, the first support portion 521 and the second support portion 522 are used to support multiple graphite boats, and the connecting portion 523 is used to connect the first support portion 521 and the second support portion 522. Since the ceramic rod 202 protrudes from the graphite boat, the clearance space 524 between the first support portion 521 and the second support portion 522 is used to accommodate the ceramic rod 202 that cooperates with the graphite boat, so that the ceramic rod 202 does not interfere with the first support portion 521 and the second support portion 522.

[0131] In this embodiment, the first clamping part and the second clamping part can move relative to each other, thereby adjusting the volume of the positioning space. Since the bottom end of the ceramic rod 202 is connected to a nut, when the ceramic rod 202 with the nut connected needs to pass through the positioning space, the distance between the first clamping part and the second clamping part is large. After the nut passes through the positioning space, the distance between the first clamping part and the second clamping part becomes smaller, so that the outer periphery of the ceramic rod 202 fits against the first clamping part and the second clamping part respectively, so as to achieve the effect of positioning the ceramic rod 202 between the first clamping part and the second clamping part.

[0132] In this embodiment, the third clamping part and the fourth clamping part can move relative to each other, thereby adjusting the volume of the positioning space. Since the bottom end of the ceramic rod 202 is connected to a nut, when the ceramic rod 202 with the nut connected needs to pass through the positioning space, the distance between the third clamping part and the fourth clamping part is large. After the nut passes through the positioning space, the distance between the third clamping part and the fourth clamping part becomes smaller, so that the outer periphery of the ceramic rod 202 fits against the third clamping part and the fourth clamping part respectively, so as to achieve the effect of positioning the ceramic rod 202 between the third clamping part and the fourth clamping part.

[0133] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support member 52 can be provided with a first gripper 5211 and a second gripper 5221 respectively. Since there are also multiple ceramic rods 202 on the graphite boat 200, it is necessary to ensure that the number of ceramic rods 202 is the same as the sum of the number of the first gripper 5211 and the second gripper 5221, so that each ceramic rod 202 can correspond to a positioning space of a first gripper 5211 or a positioning space of a second gripper 5221.

[0134] Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple first gripper claws 5211 and multiple second gripper claws 5221 are provided. Along the direction from the first support portion 521 to the second support portion 522, the positions of each first gripper claw 5211 and a second gripper claw 5221 correspond to each other.

[0135] In some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning space is a positioning hole. In this embodiment, the positioning space can also be a positioning hole, which can be respectively provided on the first support portion 521 and the second support portion 522. The positioning hole provided on the first support portion 521 is provided through the connecting portion 523, and the positioning hole provided on the second support portion 522 is also provided through the connecting portion 523.

[0136] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, a buffer 531 is provided on the side of the lifting plate facing the support plate, and the position of the buffer 531 corresponds to that of the positioning space along the moving direction of the lifting member 53. In this embodiment, the buffer 531 can provide a certain buffer when it comes into contact with the ceramic rod 202, protect the ceramic rod 202, and reduce the damage to the ceramic rod 202.

[0137] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, the buffer 531 includes an elastic portion 5311 and an abutment portion 5312. The abutment portion 5312 is connected to the lifting member 53 via the elastic portion 5311, and is used to abut against the first material passing through the positioning space. In this embodiment, the elastic portion 5311 is a spring or other component with elastic function, and the abutment portion 5312 is a rubber component used to contact the ceramic rod 202 to avoid damage caused by contact between the hard material and the ceramic rod 202. The spring can buffer the contact between the ceramic rod 202 and the abutment portion 5312, further improving the buffering effect.

[0138] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple positioning spaces and multiple buffer members 531 are provided, with each positioning space corresponding to the position of a buffer member 531 along the moving direction of the lifting member 53. In this embodiment, since the graphite boat 200 is equipped with multiple graphite boat sheets and multiple ceramic rods 202, the number of ceramic rods 202 and buffer members 531 are matched one-to-one, which can buffer the multiple ceramic rods 202 and improve reliability.

[0139] Specifically, in this embodiment, along the moving direction of the lifting member 53, the number of buffer members 531 is the same as the number of ceramic rods 202, and the number of buffer members 531 is the same as the sum of the number of the first positioning groove 331 and the second positioning groove 331.

[0140] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, the lifting mechanism 50 also includes at least one connector 54, with its opposite ends connected to the support member 52 and the fixing member 23, respectively. The connector 54 is arranged circumferentially along the lifting member 53. In this embodiment, the connector 54 is a column, which can connect the fixing base and the support member 52, thereby improving the stability between the fixing base and the support member 52.

[0141] The operating principle of the lifting mechanism 50 of the present invention is as follows: the positioning space of the first gripper 5211 and the positioning space of the second gripper 5221 are adjusted to the maximum in advance. Then, the assembly of the graphite boat and the ceramic rod 202 is placed on the support 52. Then, the nut on the side of the ceramic rod 202 away from the fixed seat is removed. At this time, the end of the ceramic rod 202 facing the fixed seat is fitted with a nut and will pass through the positioning space. Then, the first gripper 5211 and the second gripper 5221 are respectively adjusted to the positioning space matching the ceramic rod 202 to perform circumferential positioning of the ceramic rod 202. The ceramic rod 202 passing through the positioning space will abut against the lifting member 53. Then, the lifting member 53 moves towards the fixed seat, which can make the ceramic rod 202 descend and facilitate the operator to disassemble the graphite boat layer by layer, realizing the automated disassembly of the ceramic rod 202 and the graphite boat.

[0142] In addition, if it is necessary to assemble the graphite boat leaf with the ceramic rod 202, it is only necessary to move the lifting component 53 toward the support component 52 to achieve the purpose of the ceramic rod 202 passing through the positioning space and cooperating with the graphite boat leaf.

[0143] The lifting mechanism 50 of the present invention can position the ceramic rod 202 through the positioning space, and also uses a linear bearing structure to drive the lifting component 53 to move towards or away from the support component 52. This enables the ceramic rod 202 to move down layer by layer during the disassembly of the graphite boat 200, and also enables the ceramic rod 202 to move up layer by layer during the assembly of the graphite boat 200. In addition, the positioning space enables the ceramic rod 202 to pass through and be precisely fitted and positioned, so as to achieve the precise insertion of the subsequent graphite boat pages and the ceramic rod 202.

[0144] Further, in this embodiment, the disassembly process of the disassembly and assembly mechanism is as follows: The graphite boat 200 is manually or by AGV transported and placed on the flipping component. The graphite boat 200 is flipped 90 degrees by the flipping mechanism 10. Then, the graphite boat 200 is moved along the second direction by the flipping component until it reaches the work station. Defects such as broken or cracked graphite boat sheets are detected by the line scanning vision on the robotic arm of the second transfer component 60. Nuts are disassembled by the first disassembly and assembly component 20 and placed in the nut placement station. Washers and gaskets are collected by the first transfer component 40 into the washer and gasket classification component 43 for separate sorting. The second transfer component 60 can pick up graphite boat sheets and place them in the graphite boat sheet positioning trolley. Ceramic rings can be picked up by the second transfer component 60, simultaneously moving them to the ceramic ring collection placement station. The feet of the graphite boat 200 can be gripped by the second disassembly mechanism and placed in the graphite boat 200 foot placement station. The ceramic rod 202 is gradually lowered by the lifting component 53 and positioned on the buffer component 531 of the ceramic rod 202.

[0145] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the assembly process of the disassembly and assembly mechanism is as follows: the graphite boat leaf with the replaced locking points is pushed to the position by the positioning trolley for positioning; the ceramic rod 202 is moved upward layer by layer by the lifting component 53; the graphite boat leaf and the ceramic ring are alternately sleeved on the ceramic rod 202; the feet of the graphite boat 200 are assembled between the graphite boat leaves by the second disassembly and assembly component 30, and then the assembly is moved upward layer by layer. Finally, the first disassembly and assembly component 20 sequentially retrieves the washers, gaskets, and nuts from the placement stations and assembles them onto the ceramic rod 202 of the graphite boat 200.

[0146] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
