[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of motion mechanisms, and in particular to a multi-station motion system and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In product inspection equipment, cylinder grippers are often used as gripping devices. Considering production efficiency, the mobile module in the equipment will consider designing double-grip products so that two products to be tested can be transported in one movement.
[0003] At present, the design of double-jaw products generally considers the correspondence of the transportation lines. For example, if two products need to be transported to the first detection line and the second detection line respectively, the two jaws of the double-jaw product will be set with a spacing according to the corresponding relationship with the detection lines, so that the products at the two jaws will fall to the corresponding detection lines at the same time to improve the detection efficiency. However, with this design, the spacing between the two jaws of the double-jaw product is usually large, so the product volume is large, and the jaws may cause product instability when they need to rotate. At this time, the stability of the rotation process is usually guaranteed by controlling the rotation speed, but this will cause a decrease in detection efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0028] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a multi-station motion system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A local enlarged view of point A in the embodiment. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of the adsorption and material taking mechanism 20 in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the double-claw mechanism 30 in an embodiment. In one embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the multi-station motion system 100 includes a first transmission line 10 (OK line), an adsorption material collection mechanism 20 and a double-claw mechanism 30. The first transmission line 10 extends along a first horizontal direction and has a feeding position and a discharging position at both ends, for example Figure 1 The upstream end of the material transmission direction a shown in FIG. is the feed position, and the downstream end is the discharge position. Figure 2 As shown, the adsorption material taking mechanism 20 is located at the material receiving position of the first transmission line 10 (see Figure 2 B) and includes an adsorption structure 21 that can rotate around a horizontal axis and can be lifted vertically. The adsorption structure 21 is used to adsorb the product 200 to be tested located at the receiving position. In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the adsorption and material-collecting mechanism 20 also includes a first rotation drive mechanism 22 and a first lifting drive mechanism 23, which are respectively used to realize the rotation and lifting of the adsorption structure 21. The first rotation drive mechanism 22 can be a common rotation mechanism such as a motor, and the first lifting drive mechanism 23 can be a common lifting drive member such as a cylinder. The adsorption structure 21 includes a plurality of adsorption heads 211, which use vacuum adsorption force to absorb the product 200 to be tested. The product 200 to be tested can be a chip. The double-jaw mechanism 30 is located above the adsorption and material-collecting mechanism 20, and includes a rotating holder and a first clamp 32 and a second clamp 33 fixed to the rotating holder. The rotating holder is configured to be rotatable around a vertical axis and can be moved along a second horizontal direction (see Figure 1 b direction in the figure), the first clamp 32 and the second clamp 33 are arranged in sequence along the second horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, wherein the first clamp 32 and the second clamp 33 are mirror images relative to a preset vertical plane and the spacing is a preset value, the preset vertical plane is a plane passing through the rotation axis of the rotating holder and perpendicular to the second horizontal direction, the first clamp 32 and the second clamp 33 are used to clamp the product 200 to be tested at the adsorption structure 21, and transfer the product 200 to be tested to each detection mechanism. Here, the first clamp 32 and the second clamp 33 are mirror images relative to the preset vertical plane, which means that the structures of the first clamp 32 and the second clamp 33 are mirror images, and the two are arranged symmetrically about the preset vertical plane, and the preset value refers to the minimum distance value that can avoid the interference of the movement of the first clamp 32 and the second clamp 33 (i.e., the opening action of the clamps). As Figure 4 As shown, the double-claw mechanism 30 may include a second rotation drive mechanism 34 and a lateral movement mechanism 35, which are respectively used to realize the rotation of the rotating holder and the movement along the second horizontal direction. Of course, in some embodiments, the double-claw mechanism 30 may also include a second lifting mechanism 36, which is used to realize the lifting movement of the rotating holder to adapt to more sports scenes.
[0029] The multi-station motion system 100 of this embodiment is designed for the situation that the product 200 to be tested needs to be turned over when the previous process and the current process are tested. By setting up the adsorption and feeding mechanism 20, the adsorption and turning of the product 200 to be tested on the first transmission line 10 can be achieved, and then the two clamping claws of the double clamping claw mechanism 30 can grasp the product 200 to be tested from the adsorption and feeding mechanism 20 to handle the testing position to achieve the transfer.
[0030] In this embodiment, the first clamping jaw 32 and the second clamping jaw 33 of the double clamping jaw mechanism 30 are mirror images and are arranged symmetrically with respect to the rotation axis of the rotating holder. At the same time, the distance between the first clamping jaw 32 and the second clamping jaw 33 is set to the minimum value that can avoid interference, so that the load after the first clamping jaw 32 and the second clamping jaw 33 clamp the product 200 to be tested can be concentrated on the rotation axis as much as possible, reducing the rotation centrifugal force and maintaining the stability of the mechanism. In addition, the flipping and subsequent horizontal rotation and movement of the product 200 to be tested are realized by two independent mechanisms (i.e., the adsorption and material collection mechanism 20 and the double clamping jaw mechanism 30), so that the double clamping jaw mechanism 30 that carries the two products 200 to be tested for horizontal rotation has a simplified structure and reduced weight, which is further conducive to maintaining the stability of the mechanism during horizontal rotation. That is, the present application ensures the high efficiency of detection by setting up double clamping jaws while ensuring the stability during horizontal rotation, thereby ensuring the movement accuracy.
[0031] In a further embodiment, the double-jaw mechanism 30 further includes an adaptive distance adjustment structure (not shown) disposed at the target jaw, and the target jaw includes a first jaw 32 and / or a second jaw 33. The adaptive distance adjustment structure includes a first sensor and an adjustable counterweight, the first sensor is used to detect whether the target jaw has clamped a chip, and the distance between the adjustable counterweight and the preset vertical plane is adjusted according to whether the target jaw has clamped a chip. In other words, the adaptive distance adjustment structure can be disposed at the first jaw 32 or the second jaw 33, or at both the first jaw 32 and the second jaw 33. Taking the adaptive distance adjustment structure only provided at the first clamp 32 as an example, when the first sensor detects that the chip to be tested is grasped at the first clamp 32 and the chip to be tested is not grasped at the second clamp 33, the adjustable counterweight at the first clamp 32 is controlled to move in the direction close to the preset vertical plane until the center of gravity of the structure of the double clamp mechanism 30 on both sides of the preset vertical plane is symmetrical; when the first sensor detects that the chip to be tested is not grasped at the first clamp 32 and the chip to be tested is grasped at the second clamp 33, the adjustable counterweight at the first clamp 32 is controlled to move in the direction away from the preset vertical plane until the center of gravity of the structure of the double clamp mechanism 30 on both sides of the preset vertical plane is symmetrical. The situation when the adaptive distance adjustment structure is only provided at the second clamp 33 is the same as the principle of the adaptive distance adjustment structure only provided at the first clamp 32, which will not be repeated here. Of course, the adaptive distance adjustment structure can also be provided at both the first clamp 32 and the second clamp 33, so that it is more flexible when adjusting.
[0032] This embodiment provides an adaptive adjustment structure at the double-jaw mechanism to balance the center of gravity on both sides when the gripping conditions of the first jaw 32 and the second jaw 33 are different, so that the two sides can be balanced, and the double-jaw mechanism 30 can be more stable whether moving or rotating, thereby ensuring the position accuracy of the product 200 to be tested.
[0033] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the multi-station motion system 100 also includes a second transmission line 40 (NG line), which is arranged parallel to and adjacent to the first transmission line 10, and is used to place unqualified products. The double-claw mechanism 30 is also used to place the inspected products on the adsorption and feeding mechanism 20 or the second transmission line 40. In order to more clearly describe the motion relationship, the positions of the first clamp 32 and the second clamp 33 are defined here: when the first clamp 32 is located above the first transmission line 10, the second clamp 33 is located on the side of the first transmission line 10 away from the second transmission line 40. When the product clamped by the first clamp 32 is a qualified product, the rotating holder falls and places the qualified product on the adsorption and feeding mechanism 20, and the adsorption and feeding mechanism 20 is turned over and places the qualified product on the first transmission line 10. When the product clamped by the first clamp 32 is an unqualified product, the rotating holder rotates 180 degrees and moves until the first clamp 32 is located above the second transmission line 40, then falls, and places the unqualified product on the second transmission line 40.
[0034] That is to say, when all tests of the product 200 to be tested are qualified, the first jaw 32 of the double-jaw mechanism 30 transfers the qualified product to the adsorption and feeding mechanism 20, and then transfers it to the first transmission line 10 through the adsorption and feeding mechanism 20. Of course, when the subsequent process does not require the front and rear directions of the product, the second jaw 33 of the double-jaw mechanism 30 can also be used to transport qualified products. It is only necessary to control the double-jaw mechanism 30 to rotate horizontally until the second jaw 33 is located above the first transmission line 10. The subsequent movement process is the same as when the qualified product is located at the first jaw 32, and will not be repeated here. When the product 200 to be tested fails one test, both the first jaw 32 and the second jaw 33 can be used to grab the unqualified product. For example, when the first jaw 32 grabs the unqualified product, the first jaw 32 can be rotated horizontally to the left side of the second jaw 33 (i.e. Figure 2 The first clamp 32 is moved to the left side of the second transmission line 40, and then moved to the position where the first clamp 32 is aligned with the second transmission line 40, and then directly dropped onto the second transmission line 40, and the first clamp 32 is released to discharge the material. When the second clamp 33 grabs an unqualified product, the second clamp 33 can be directly moved to the top of the second transmission line 40, and then the material can be discharged.
[0035] This embodiment is provided with a horizontally rotatable double-jaw mechanism 30, which cooperates with the relative position relationship between the first transmission line 10 and the second transmission line 40 to achieve double-jaw transportation of qualified products and unqualified products. That is, the first jaw 32 and the second jaw 33 can both be used for the corresponding unloading transportation of qualified products and unqualified products, so as to maximize the transportation efficiency, thereby improving the detection efficiency and production rhythm.
[0036] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of a first transmission line 10 of a multi-station motion system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of the positioning detection structure 50 in an embodiment of the present invention. In a further embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the multi-station motion system 100 also includes a positioning detection structure 50 disposed at the first transmission line 10, and the positioning detection structure 50 includes a position sensor 51, a front end stop mechanism 52 and a rear end lifting mechanism 53. The position sensor 51 is used to detect whether the product 200 to be tested has moved to the material receiving position. The front end stop mechanism 52 is disposed at the target position and is used to limit the front side position of the product 200 to be tested. The rear end lifting mechanism 53 is used to rise and move toward the front end stop mechanism 52 after the product 200 to be tested is located at the material receiving position until the product 200 to be tested is completely limited in the front and rear directions. A vertical stop surface 11 is provided on one side of the first transmission line 10 in the width direction, and the position sensor 51 is disposed on the opposite side of the vertical stop surface 11 and can be extended and retracted along the width direction of the first transmission line 10. The vertical stop surface 11 and the position sensor 51 jointly limit the product 200 to be tested in the width direction of the first transmission line 10. Furthermore, the adsorption material-collecting mechanism 20 is fixedly arranged at the first transmission line 10 to ensure the position alignment between the adsorption material-collecting mechanism 20 and the positioning detection structure 50. Figure 4 As shown, the adsorption material taking mechanism 20 is fixed to the fixed structure of the first transmission line 10 through a fixed bracket 60 .
[0037] In this embodiment, by setting the positioning detection structure 50, it is possible to ensure that the product to be tested 200 is accurately positioned at the material receiving position, thereby ensuring the position accuracy. Furthermore, the positioning detection structure 50 and the adsorption and material taking mechanism 20 are both fixedly arranged at the first transmission line 10, so that the relative positions of the two remain fixed, which can ensure the alignment accuracy of the adsorption structure 21 of the adsorption and material taking mechanism 20 and the material receiving position, and further ensure the position accuracy of the product to be tested 200 during transportation.
[0038] Figure 7 is a flow chart of a control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The present application also provides a control method for controlling the multi-station motion system 100. In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the control method includes: Step S100, controlling the first transport line to transport the product 200 to be tested to a receiving position; Step S200, controlling the adsorption structure 21 of the adsorption and material taking mechanism 20 to descend to a first preset height and then adsorb the product 200 to be tested, and then controlling the adsorption structure 21 to rise to a second preset height and perform a 180-degree flip; Step S300, controlling the rotating holder of the double-jaw mechanism 30 to move to a position where the first jaw 32 or the second jaw 33 is aligned with the material receiving position and descending to a third preset height, and controlling the first jaw 32 or the second jaw 33 aligned with the material receiving position to grab the product 200 to be tested; Step S400, controlling the double-claw mechanism 30 to move to each detection mechanism in sequence, so as to perform different detections; Step S500 , transferring qualified products to the first transmission line 10 , and transferring unqualified products to the second transmission line 40 .
[0039] In step S300, one of the first clamp 32 and the second clamp 33 can be controlled to grab the material from the suction material taking mechanism 20, or the two clamps can grab the material in turn. Here, how to grab the material can be determined according to the idle situation of the clamps.
[0040] In the case where both jaws grab the product 200 to be tested, after both jaws grab the product 200 to be tested, the product 200 to be tested grabbed by the first jaw 32 can be controlled to move to the first testing mechanism, and the product 200 to be tested grabbed by the second jaw 33 can be controlled to move to the second testing mechanism. When the detection time of different testing mechanisms is different, for example, the first testing mechanism has completed the detection, and the second testing mechanism is still in progress, at this time, the first jaw 32 of the double-jaw mechanism 30 can move the next product 200 to be tested to the first testing mechanism, and the second jaw 33 moves the product that has been detected at the first testing mechanism out. When the first testing mechanism and the second testing mechanism have completed the detection, the first jaw 32 and the second jaw 33 respectively grab the corresponding products, thereby improving the detection efficiency.
