[0027] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, in this embodiment, a double half-sheet flower basket loader with upper and lower layers includes an upper transport module 1, a lower transport module 2, a flower basket lifting mechanism 3, a variable spacing mechanism 4, a half-sheet cache mechanism 5, a half-sheet flip mechanism 6 and a transport guide rail mechanism 7. The upper transport module 1 with a full flower basket is located above the lower transport module 2 with an empty flower basket. The upper transport module 1 and the lower transport module 2 both include two sections of half-sheet entry and exit tracks 8. The rear end of the upper transport module 1 is connected to the top of the flower basket lifting mechanism 3, and the rear end of the lower transport module 2 is connected to the bottom of the flower basket lifting mechanism 3. The variable spacing mechanism 4 is located on the front end side of the transport guide rail mechanism 7. The middle part of the transport guide rail mechanism 7 passes through the half-sheet cache mechanism 5, and the half-sheet flip mechanism 6 is located at the rear end of the transport guide rail mechanism 7.

[0029] Moreover, a transfer and transverse movement module 9 is arranged at the rear end of the half-sheet entry and exit track 8 , and a transfer and transverse movement track 10 is connected to the driving end of the transfer and transverse movement module 9 .

[0030] The two batches of flower baskets are fully loaded with half-wafers in advance. The AGV trolley inputs the fully loaded flower baskets to the upper transport module 1 and removes the empty flower baskets on the lower transport module 2. Then the two batches of flower baskets are placed in the upper transport module 1 for transportation. When arriving at the rear end of the upper transport module 1, the transfer and transverse movement module 9 controls the flower basket of the entire half-wafer to move horizontally, dock and enter the flower basket lifting mechanism 3, and the half-wafer of the flower basket in the flower basket lifting mechanism 3 enters the transport guide rail mechanism 7 through the lifting control. The distance between the double half-wafers is changed by the variable spacing mechanism 4, so that the double half-wafers in the flower basket are adjusted to the double half-wafer positions on the transport guide rail mechanism 7 to meet the subsequent docking requirements. During the process, they can be cached in the half-wafer cache mechanism 5 according to the front and rear speeds, or a 180° flipping process can be performed in the half-wafer flipping mechanism 6 according to the needs (it can also be directly passed through the half-wafer flipping mechanism 6 without flipping according to the process flow). It can also be designed that the lower transport module 2 inputs the flower basket and the upper transport module 1 outputs the flower basket.

[0031] The flower basket lifting mechanism 3 includes a flower basket lifting module 11 and a flower basket lifting frame 12. The driving end of the flower basket lifting module 11 is connected to one side of the flower basket lifting frame 12. The lower end of the flower basket lifting frame 12 is installed with a flower basket lifting track 13. The upper end of the flower basket lifting frame 12 is installed with a flower basket fixing cylinder 14. The driving end of the flower basket fixing cylinder 14 is pressed on the upper end of the flower basket. The upper transport module 1 has half-piece entry and exit tracks 8 on both sides. When the half-piece entry and exit track 8 on one side is docked and transferred with the flower basket lifting mechanism 3, the other half-piece entry and exit track 8 can be In order to place the flower basket and reduce the idle time for processing the intermediate flower baskets, after the flower basket enters the flower basket lifting frame 12, the flower basket fixing cylinder 14 controls the driving end to press and fix the flower basket on the lower end track of the flower basket lifting frame 12. When all the half-wafers in the flower basket are transferred out, the flower basket fixing cylinder 14 is released, and the flower basket is moved out to the lower transport module 2. Similarly, the lower transport module 2 has half-wafer entry and exit tracks 8 on both sides. The half-wafer entry and exit track 8 on one side receives the empty flower basket, and the empty flower basket can be taken away manually on the other side without delaying working hours.

[0032] The spacing mechanism 4 includes a track changing front and rear modules 15 and a track changing left and right modules 16. The track changing left and right modules 16 are installed on the driving end of the track changing front and rear modules 15. The lower end of the track changing left and right modules 16 is provided with a track changing slide rail 17. The driving end of the track changing left and right modules 16 is connected to two track changing adsorption plates 18. The two track changing adsorption plates 18 slide on the track changing slide rail 17. The spacing of the double half sheets transferred from the flower basket lifting mechanism 3 is consistent with the spacing in the flower basket. Then the track changing adsorption plates 18 respectively absorb the double half sheets on the left and right sides. Under the action of the track changing slide rail 17, the track changing left and right modules 16 separate the double half sheets to correspond to the subsequent transportation guide rail mechanism 7, and then transfer them to the transportation guide rail mechanism 7 under the action of the track changing front and rear modules 15.

[0033] The half-sheet cache mechanism 5 includes a cache lifting module 19 and a cache frame 20. The cache frame 20 is fixed on the driving end of the cache lifting module 19. Two groups of half-sheet cache positions are arranged on the cache frame 20. Cache support rods 21 are arranged on both sides of the half-sheet cache positions. The double half-sheets transported on the transport guide rail mechanism 7 enter the cache frame 20. The double half-sheets are respectively supported by the cache support rods 21 on both sides. Under the action of the cache lifting module 19, the double half-sheets can be driven to rise and fall in the vertical direction by the half-sheet cache positions to achieve the cache effect.

[0034] The half-piece flip mechanism 6 includes a flip side support 22, a flip motor 23 and a flip wheel 24. The flip motor 23 is fixed on the outer side of the flip side support 22. The driving end of the flip motor 23 is connected to a flip shaft 25. The flip shaft 25 passes through the middle of the flip wheel 24. A plurality of flip grooves are arranged on the flip wheel 24. After the caching is completed, the half-piece enters the flip groove of the flip wheel 24 driven by the transport guide rail mechanism 7. The flip motor 23 controls the rotation of the flip shaft 25 to flip the double half-piece of the flip wheel 24 to the rear side 180°, thereby realizing the flipping requirements in production.

[0035] The transport guide mechanism 7 includes two sections of half-sheet transport rails 26 and a clamping plate part. A first sensor 27 is arranged in the middle of the half-sheet transport rails 26, and a clamping plate motor 28 is arranged in the clamping plate part. The driving end of the clamping plate motor 28 is connected to a clamping plate support 29 through a synchronous wheel and a synchronous belt transmission. The clamping plate support 29 is located on both sides of the first sensor 27. A second sensor 30 is arranged at the rear end of the half-sheet transport rails 26. When the first sensor 27 on the two sections of the half-sheet transport rails 26 senses a half-sheet silicon wafer, the clamping plate motor 28 controls the clamping plate support 29 to move toward the middle to center the position of the half-sheet silicon wafer, and the second sensor 30 corresponds to the subsequent equipment.

[0036] It should be stated that the above-mentioned specific implementation methods are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles used. Within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by technicians familiar with this technical field should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
