DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0018] In addition, in the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes, and do not specifically refer to the order or sequence, nor are they used to limit the present invention. They are only used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions and technical features between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0019] The present invention provides the following embodiments Example 1 An embodiment of the present invention provides a gripping device for a flexible substrate, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a substrate 1, and mechanical arms are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the upper end of the substrate 1. The mechanical arms are connected to a grasping shell 7 and an observation component, and an adsorption mechanism and a positioning mechanism are connected to the grasping shell 7.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: The mechanical arm is used to drive the grasping shell 7 and the observation component to move, and the grasping shell 7 drives the adsorption mechanism and the positioning mechanism to move, so that the adsorption mechanism, the positioning mechanism and the observation component can move to the corresponding position of the flexible substrate to be grasped. The observation component is used as a visual mechanism to determine the position of the flexible substrate. Specifically, when the mechanical arm moves to the corresponding position of the flexible substrate, the observation component can photograph the flexible substrate to be grasped and determine the position of the flexible substrate, so as to control the operation of the mechanical arm according to the position of the flexible substrate, so that the adsorption mechanism and the positioning mechanism move to the target position. After the adsorption mechanism and the positioning mechanism move to the target position, the mechanical arm controls the grasping shell 7 to move toward the direction of the flexible substrate, so that the adsorption mechanism and the positioning mechanism move toward the flexible substrate. In this process During the process, the positioning mechanism first contacts the flexible substrate. After the positioning mechanism contacts the flexible substrate, it cannot continue to move toward the flexible substrate. At this time, the positioning mechanism moves along the placement plane of the flexible substrate to flatten it until the positioning mechanism cannot move. At this time, the adsorption mechanism is in sealing contact with the flexible substrate, and then the adsorption mechanism is controlled to adsorb and connect the flexible substrate, completing the grasping of the flexible substrate. The setting of the positioning mechanism flattens the flexible substrate before adsorbing and connecting it, which solves the technical problem that the flexible substrate is prone to bends. When the pneumatic suction cup adsorbs the flexible substrate, if there are bends at the contact end between the flexible substrate and the pneumatic suction cup, it is difficult to form a closed space between the pneumatic suction cup and the flexible substrate, and subsequent adsorption and grasping work cannot be performed.

[0021] Example 2 On the basis of Example 1, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the robot arm includes a motor 1 6, which is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the base plate 1, and the motor 1 6 is fixedly connected to the telescopic cylinder 1 2, the telescopic cylinder 1 2 is fixedly connected to the telescopic cylinder 2 3, the telescopic cylinder 2 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4, the upper end of the mounting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the fixed section of the telescopic cylinder 3 5, and the movable section of the telescopic cylinder 3 5 penetrates the mounting plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the grab shell 7; The observation component includes a camera 61, which is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4 through a connecting plate, and the camera 61 is electrically connected to the robot arm through a controller 1, and the camera 61 is used to photograph the flexible substrate to be grasped; The adsorption mechanism includes a suction cup 10, the upper end of the suction cup 10 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the lower end of the mounting plate 4 through a shock-absorbing block 30, the lower end of the suction cup 10 is provided with a contact cavity 11, and the left side of the upper end of the suction cup 10 is provided with an air suction pipe 14, the contact cavity 11 is connected with the air suction pipe 14, the air suction pipe 14 is connected with an air suction pump 16, the air suction pump 16 is fixedly arranged on the left side of the upper end of the grabbing shell 7, and the right side of the suction cup 10 is provided with an air supply pipe 12, the air supply pipe 12 is connected with the air supply pump 13, and the air supply pump 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of the lower end of the grabbing shell 7.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: When the mechanical arm is working, the motor 6 can drive the telescopic cylinder 2 to rotate along the horizontal plane, and the telescopic cylinder 2 can drive the telescopic cylinder 2 3 to move up and down when it is extended and retracted, and the telescopic cylinder 2 3 can drive the mounting plate 4 to move left and right when it is extended and retracted. The telescopic cylinder 3 5 can drive the grabbing shell 7 to move up and down, so as to achieve the purpose of moving the grabbing shell 7 to any position in the three-dimensional space. When the camera 61 is electrically connected to the mechanical arm through the controller 1, it is electrically connected to the motor 6, the telescopic cylinder 1 2, the telescopic cylinder 2 3 and the telescopic cylinder 3 5 respectively, so as to automatically control the motor 6, the telescopic cylinder 1 2, the telescopic cylinder 2 3 and the telescopic cylinder 3 5 to work independently. The observation component refers to CN201920180203-A photographic component in a grasping mechanism for a flexible substrate and its sorting system. The present invention does not involve improvements thereto, so it will not be described in detail. When the adsorption mechanism is working, the suction cup 10 contacts the flexible substrate to be grasped, so that the contact cavity 11 forms a closed space. When the suction pump 16 is working, the air in the contact cavity 11 can be extracted through the suction pipe 14, so that the contact cavity 11 forms a negative pressure space, so that the suction cup 10 and the flexible substrate are adsorbed and connected. When the air supply pump 13 is working, air can be delivered to the contact cavity 11 through the air supply pipe 12, so that the air pressure in the contact cavity 11 becomes larger, which is used to complete the separation of the suction cup 10 and the flexible substrate.

[0023] Example 3 On the basis of Example 2, Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the positioning mechanism includes a plurality of sliding cavities 21 uniformly arranged circumferentially of the grab shell 7, and a sliding groove 20 is connected on the long end side walls arranged in parallel in the sliding cavity 21, and a sliding rod 19 is slidably arranged between the two parallel sliding grooves 20, and the sliding rod 19 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 18, and the connecting rod 18 is rotatably connected to the push-pull wheel 17, and a groove 1 is arranged at one end of the upper side of the connecting rod 18 away from each other, and a clamping block 26 is slidably arranged in the groove 1, and a spring 1 27 is fixedly arranged between the clamping block 26 and the groove 1, and the clamping block 26 is matched with the clamping hole 24 correspondingly, and the upper and lower ends of the clamping hole 24 are connected with a matching port 23, and the width of the matching port 23 is smaller than the width of the clamping hole 24, and the clamping hole 24 and the matching port 23 are arranged at one end of the fixed block 1 22 close to the sliding cavity 21, and a plurality of fixed blocks 22 are uniformly arranged circumferentially on the upper end of the grab shell 7, and the matching port 23 is matched with the matching separation block 25 correspondingly, and a plurality of matching separation blocks 25 are uniformly arranged circumferentially on the lower end of the mounting plate 4; The positioning mechanism also includes a cavity 8 arranged inside the grab shell 7, and the left and right ends of the lower side of the cavity 8 are symmetrically connected with a sliding cavity 9, a sliding plate 36 is slidably arranged in the cavity 8, a spring 462 is fixedly arranged between the sliding plate 36 and the cavity 8, a through hole 1 is arranged in the middle of the sliding plate 36 for the suction pipe 14 to pass through, a limit block 32 is arranged on the left side of the lower end of the sliding plate 36, and a push block 37 is arranged on the right side of the lower end of the sliding plate 36, and the limit block 32 is in contact with the upper end of the contact block 31 correspondingly, and the contact block 31 is in contact with the upper end of the contact block 31. 1 is slidably connected with the contact block 28, and a spring 29 is fixed between the groove 2 and the contact block 28, the contact block 28 passes through the left sliding cavity 19 and is slidably connected with the leftmost connecting rod 18, the contact block 1 31 is slidably connected with the left sliding cavity 19, the inclined section of the push block 37 is in contact with the contact block 3 35, the contact block 3 35 passes through the right sliding cavity 19 and is slidably connected with the rightmost connecting rod 18, and the contact block 3 35 is slidably connected with the right sliding cavity 19; A connecting block 33 is provided at the upper end of the sliding plate 36, and the connecting block 33 is slidably connected to the connecting port on the intake pipe 14, and the connecting port on the intake pipe 14 is connected to the internal pipe hole of the intake pipe 14, and the connecting port on the intake pipe 14 and the internal pipe hole of the intake pipe 14 are distributed at ninety degrees, and a connecting hole 1 34 is penetrated at the left and right ends of the connecting block 33, and the connecting hole 1 34 is correspondingly connected to the pipe hole inside the intake pipe 14.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: The grabbing shell 7 and the placement plane of the flexible substrate are arranged in parallel. When the grabbing shell 7 moves toward the flexible substrate, until the push-pull wheel 17 contacts the upper end of the flexible substrate, the push-pull wheel 17 cannot move toward the flexible substrate. At this time, the push-pull wheel 17 moves along the placement plane of the flexible substrate. During this process, the push-pull wheel 17 drives the connecting rod 18 to move, and the connecting rod 18 drives the sliding rod 19 to slide along the sliding groove 20, ensuring that the grabbing shell 7 can move downward normally, and the circumferentially distributed plurality of sliding cavities 21 and the correspondingly connected push-pull wheels 17 move in directions away from each other, and the central axis surrounded by the plurality of sliding cavities 21 coincides with the central axis of the suction cup 10. Therefore, when the plurality of push-pull wheels 17 move in their original directions, the area near the contact end of the flexible substrate and the suction cup 10 can be flattened, thereby ensuring that the suction cup 10 and the flexible substrate can be in contact. A closed space is formed. When the leftmost connecting rod 18 drives the sliding rod 19 to slide along the sliding groove 20, it drives the contact block 28 to move along the sliding cavity 1 9 on the left, and the contact block 28 drives the contact block 1 31 to slide along the sliding cavity 1 9 on the left. When the rightmost connecting rod 18 drives the sliding rod 19 to slide along the sliding groove 20, it drives the contact block 35 to slide along the sliding cavity 1 9 on the right, until the contact block 1 31 is out of contact with the limit block 32, and the contact block 35 is out of contact with the push block 37. At this time, the sliding plate 36 moves downward under the elastic action of the spring 4 62, and the sliding plate 36 moves downward to drive the connecting block 33 to move downward, so that the connecting hole 1 34 is connected to the pipe hole inside the suction pipe 14 correspondingly. At this time, the suction pipe 14 is in a connected state, and the suction pump 16 can work to suck the air in the contact cavity 11; After the sliding rod 19 cannot move along the sliding groove 20, the lower end of the push-pull wheel 17 is just flush with the lower end of the suction cup 10. Since the push-pull wheel 17 cannot move toward the flexible substrate, nor can it move along the placement plane of the flexible substrate, the grab shell 7 cannot move downward. At this time, the suction cup 10 is in contact with the flexible substrate, and the contact cavity 11 becomes a closed space. At the same time, the sliding rod 19 cannot move, and the block 26 on the connecting rod 18 is just matched with the hole 24. A contact block can be set on the block 26, and a contact switch can be set in the hole 24. The contact switch is electrically connected to the suction pump 16 through the controller 2, so that the suction pump 16 can automatically perform suction work at this time without Manual control saves time and effort. At this time, the flexible substrate will not be affected by the gravity of the push-pull wheel 17, so as to avoid the gravity of the push-pull wheel 17 affecting the connection between the flexible substrate and the suction cup 10. During the transfer process of the flexible substrate, it is necessary to ensure that the fixed block 22 is not in contact with the matching separation block 25. After the flexible substrate is transferred to the target position, the grabbing shell 7 is driven to move upward by the telescopic cylinder 3 5, so that the matching separation block 25 is inserted into the matching port 23, and the inclined section of the matching separation block 25 is in contact with the card block 26. As the grabbing shell 7 moves upward, until the matching separation block 25 pushes the card block 26 away from the card hole 24, the push-pull wheel 17 has a tendency to move downward under the action of gravity, which assists the flexible substrate and the suction cup 10. The disc 10 is separated, and then the grab shell 7 is controlled to move downward until the grab shell 7 drives the flexible substrate to move to the target height, and the air pump 13 works to separate the flexible substrate from the suction cup 10. After the flexible substrate is separated from the suction cup 10, the push-pull wheel 17 moves downward under the action of gravity and drives the sliding rod 19 to slide in the opposite direction along the sliding groove 20 through the connecting rod 18. In this process, the rightmost connecting rod 18 drives the contact block three 35 to slide in the opposite direction along the sliding cavity one 9 on the right side, and the contact block three 35 contacts the inclined section of the push block 37, so that the push block 37 drives the sliding plate 36 to move upward, the spring four 62 is compressed, and the sliding plate 36 drives the connecting block 33 to move upward, which in turn causes the air to flow in. The tube hole inside the tube 14 is re-blocked, so that the suction cup 10 cannot perform the adsorption work at this time, so as to prevent the suction cup 10 from accidentally adsorbing other materials. In this process, the leftmost connecting rod 18 will drive the contact block 28 to move in the opposite direction along the sliding cavity 19 on the left side. Since the limit block 32 limits the contact block 1 31, the contact block 28 slides along the left end groove 2 of the contact block 1 31 at this time, and the spring 29 is compressed until the sliding plate 36 drives the limit block 32 to return to its original position. At this time, under the elastic action of the spring 29, the contact block 1 31 returns to its original position and contacts with the lower end of the limit block 32, so that the positioning mechanism is finally restored to its original position, waiting for the next flexible substrate grabbing work.

The open groove 44 is connected with the through holes 2 55 through the cavity 2 53. A support block 45 is slidably provided in the open groove 44. The support block 45 and the connecting block 1 56 are fixedly connected. The connecting block 1 56 passes through the open groove 44 and is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 57 in the cavity 2 53. The sliding seat 57 is slidably connected to the upper end of the rotating plate 58. A rotating shaft 15 is fixedly provided between the front and rear ends of the middle part of the rotating plate 58. The rotating shaft 15 is rotatably arranged in the cavity 2 53. A torsion spring is fixedly provided between the rotating plate 58 and the cavity 2 53, and the torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft 15. Connecting blocks 2 59 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the lower end of the rotating plate 58. The connecting block 2 59 passes through the through hole 2 55 and contacts with the bevel gear 1 43 correspondingly. A spring five is rotatably provided between the bevel gear one 43 and the support block one 39 , and the spring five is sleeved on the rotating shaft 54 ​​.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: The support blocks 45 on the left and right sides and the connecting block 1 56 and the rotating plate 58 connected thereto form a seesaw structure. The sorting platform 38 can simultaneously transmit two batches of flexible substrates to be sorted. The partition plate 46 is used to separate the two batches of flexible substrates to be sorted. After the two batches of flexible substrates to be sorted are respectively transmitted to the support blocks 45 on the left and right sides of the sorting platform 38, the weight of the flexible substrates placed on the support blocks 45 on the left and right sides of the sorting platform 38 is made the same, so that the rotating plate 58 remains horizontal. The motor 2 47 drives the driving block 60 to rotate through the driving shaft. The driving block 60 drives the threaded rod 42 to rotate through the block 49. The threaded rod 42 drives the support block 1 39 to slide along the middle part of the upper end of the substrate 1. The support block 1 39 drives the sorting platform 38 to move backward, so that the sorting platform 38 moves to the corresponding position of the robot arm. The setting of the support block 2 40 and the guide rod 41 guides the forward and backward movement of the sorting platform 38. When sorting the flexible substrates on the sorting table 38, if the mechanical arm on one side fails to work, the weight of the flexible substrates placed on the left and right sides of the sorting table 38 is no longer the same, and the rotating plate 58 is no longer horizontal. The supporting block 45 on the heavier side moves downward to drive the connecting block 1 56 to move downward, and the connecting block 1 56 drives the sliding seat 57 to slide along the rotating plate 58, and the torsion spring is deformed. During this process, the rotating plate 58 rotates and drives the connecting block 2 59 on one side to move downward. The downward movement of the connecting block 2 59 on either side can push the bevel gear 1 43 to move downward, and the spring 5 is compressed. During the downward movement of the bevel gear 1 43, it contacts the bevel gear 2 52 and pushes the bevel gear 2 52 to move backward. The spring 3 50 is compressed, and the connecting cavity in the driving block 60 is disengaged from the block 49. At this time, the threaded rod 42 will not rotate with the motor 2 47, and then the motor 2 47 is controlled to work to drive the bevel gear 2 52 to rotate, and the bevel gear 2 52 drives the bevel gear 1 4 3 rotates, the bevel gear 1 43 drives the sorting table 38 to rotate through the rotating shaft 54, so that the sorting table 38 rotates 180 degrees, ensuring that the flexible substrate corresponding to the mechanical arm on the side where the fault occurs is transferred to the mechanical arm on the side where the fault occurs for sorting, so that the sorting system of the present invention can also perform the sorting work normally when the mechanical arm with a fault is repaired, thereby improving the sorting efficiency. After the sorting is completed, since there is no flexible substrate on the support blocks 45 on the left and right sides, their weights are the same again. Under the elastic action of the torsion spring, the rotating plate 58 returns to its original position, and under the elastic action of the spring five, the bevel gear 1 43 also returns to its original position. After the bevel gear 1 43 is disengaged from the bevel gear 2 52, the bevel gear 2 52 returns to its original position under the elastic action of the spring three 50. The bevel gear 2 52 drives the connecting cavity in the driving block 60 to match with the block 49 again. The reverse operation of the control motor 2 47 can drive the threaded rod 42 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the sorting table 38 returns to its original position and performs the work of transporting the flexible substrate to be sorted next time.
