[0052] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0053] The present invention provides a FPC universal automation equipment, which can complete automatic sorting and automatic bending of materials, thereby improving the automation degree of the FPC equipment and reducing the space occupancy rate of the FPC equipment.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the FPC universal automation equipment includes: a frame 500, a clamping assembly 600, a bending fixture 900, a material handling assembly 800, a transfer assembly 700, a first storage assembly 300, a second storage assembly 400, a first loading assembly 100, and a second loading assembly 200.

[0055] Specifically, the frame 500 has a first work surface 510, on which a turnover work area 511 and a material discharging work area 512 are provided. The turnover work area 511 and the material discharging work area 512 are both provided with through openings that penetrate the first work surface 510 in the up-down direction. The first work surface 510 is also provided with a storage disk 580 for storing materials to be re-judged, and the storage disk 580 is located between the turnover work area 511 and the material discharging work area 512.

[0056] The first loading assembly 100 and the second loading assembly 200 are arranged below the first work surface 510, wherein the first loading assembly 100 is located directly below the turnover work area 511, and the second loading assembly 200 is located directly below the discharge work area 512. The first loading assembly 100 is used to convey the first material tray 520 with the material to be processed to the turnover work area 511, and the first material tray 520 is used to provide the material to be processed. The second loading assembly 200 is used to convey the empty second material tray 530 to the discharge work area 512, and the second material tray 530 is used to place the bent material. In other words, the turnover work area 511 is provided with a first material tray 520 for providing the material to be processed, and the discharge work area 512 is provided with a second material tray 530 for placing the bent material.

[0057] The turnover work area 511 and the discharge work area 512 are also provided with a clamping assembly 600, and the clamping assembly 600 is used to clamp the material tray. Among them, the clamping assembly 600 at the turnover work area 511 is used to clamp the first material tray 520. The clamping assembly 600 at the discharge work area 512 is used to clamp the second material tray 530. Considering that the structure of the clamping assembly 600 at the turnover work area 511 is the same as that of the clamping assembly 600 at the discharge work area 512. For the convenience of explanation, the clamping assembly 600 at the turnover work area 511 is used as an example for explanation below.

[0058] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the clamping assembly 600 includes a pair of symmetrically distributed positioning seat units 610, and the positioning seat units 610 include a base plate 611 arranged on the first work surface 510, a supporting plate 612 slidably arranged above the base plate 611, a first cylinder 613 arranged on the base plate 611 and connected to the supporting plate 612 for driving the supporting plate 612 to move, and a first limit block 614 and a second limit block 615 arranged on the supporting plate 612 for limiting the same side corner position of the first material tray 520.

[0059] A first slide rail unit 618 is provided between the carrier plate 612 and the bottom plate 611, and the piston rod of the first cylinder 613 extends in a direction perpendicular to the long side of the first tray 520. Driven by the first cylinder 613, the carrier plate 612 moves in a direction perpendicular to the long side of the first tray 520. A partition rib 6121 capable of supporting the first tray 520 from the bottom is provided on the side wall of the carrier plate 612 close to the first tray 520.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first loading assembly 100 and the second loading assembly 200 only have the function of lifting, lifting the tray from bottom to top to the turnover work area 511 and the discharge work area 512, and the separation between the stacked trays is achieved by the above-mentioned supporting plate 612. In other words, in addition to supporting the trays, the supporting plate 612 also has the function of separating the trays, which effectively reduces the complexity of the equipment in the up and down directions and has the advantage of compact structure.

[0061] The carrier plate 612 has a tray receiving position when the partition ribs 6121 are supported below the tray. In order to limit the tray receiving position of the carrier plate 612, a first limiting unit 630 is provided between the bottom plate 611 and the carrier plate 612. Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the first limiting unit 630 includes a support 632 fixed on the bottom plate 611, a second adjusting bolt 633 screwed on the support 632, and the second adjusting bolt 633 is distributed along the sliding direction of the bearing plate 612. The bearing plate 612 is provided with a first opening 631 corresponding to the support 632, and the second adjusting bolt 633 is at least partially located in the first opening 631. When the bearing plate 612 is in the receiving position, the second adjusting bolt 633 abuts against the side wall of the first opening 631, thereby realizing the limiting of the bearing plate 612.

[0062] By arranging the first limiting unit 630 between the bottom plate 611 and the carrying plate 612, not only the space between the bottom plate 611 and the carrying plate 612 is effectively utilized, but also the limiting function is realized. In addition, the receiving tray position of the carrying plate 612 can be adjusted by the second adjusting bolt 633, so that different types of trays can be used.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first limit block 614 and the second limit block 615 are spaced apart in the long side direction of the first material tray 520, and the first limit block 614 and the second limit block 615 are provided with right-angle openings adapted to the corners of the first material tray 520, thereby being able to limit the freedom of the first material tray 520 in the horizontal direction.

[0064] Furthermore, a pressing plate 617 is provided on the bottom plate 611 and is located above the partition ribs 6121. The pressing plate 617 and the partition ribs 6121 define the vertical position of the first tray 520. In other words, the pressing plate 617 and the partition ribs 6121 can define the degree of freedom of the first tray 520 in the vertical direction.

[0065] In order to adjust the height of the pressing plate 617, the pressing plate 617 is disposed on the bottom plate 611 through the first adjusting unit 620. In this embodiment, the first adjusting unit 620 can adjust the pressing plate 617 in two different precisions in the height direction, and the adjustment precision is high.

[0066] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the first adjustment unit 620 includes a fixed block 624 fixed on the first work surface 510, a connecting block 621 connected to the fixed block 624, and a pressing plate 617 is arranged on the connecting block 621. Among them, there is a first bolt long hole structure between the fixed block 624 and the connecting block 621, and the first bolt long hole structure is used to enable the connecting block 621 to adjust its position in the up and down directions. There is a second bolt long hole structure between the connecting block 621 and the pressing plate 617, and the second bolt long hole structure is used to enable the pressing plate 617 to adjust its position in the wide side direction of the first material tray 520, so as to be suitable for first material trays 520 of different widths.

[0067] There are guide structures between the pressure plate 617 and the connection block 621, and between the fixed block 624 and the connection block 621. The guide structures include guide grooves and guide blocks. Taking the guide structure between the fixed block 624 and the connection block 621 as an example, the guide grooves extend in the up and down directions, one of the guide grooves and the guide blocks is provided on the fixed block 624, and the other is provided on the connection block 621, so as to realize the movement guidance of the connection block 621 in the up and down directions. Fig.12 As shown, a guide block 6211 is provided on the connecting block 621, and a guide groove is provided on the fixing block 624. The guide block 6211 and the guide groove not only have a guiding function, but also play a role of installation limit, making installation and alignment more convenient.

[0068] The first bolt slot structure can achieve rough adjustment in the height direction. Further, the first adjustment unit 620 also includes a first adjustment bolt 623 disposed on the connecting block 621, and the first adjustment bolt 623 can achieve fine adjustment in the height direction of the pressing plate 617 based on the first bolt slot structure.

[0069] The first adjusting bolts 623 are distributed in the up-down direction and are threadedly connected to the fixing block 624. The connecting block 621 is provided with a protrusion 622 engaged with the first adjusting bolt 623, and the first adjusting bolt 623 can rotate relative to the protrusion 622. The protrusion 622 is detachably provided on the connecting block 621, and the connecting block 621 is further provided with a first limiting groove 6212, and the installation position of the protrusion 622 can be limited by the first limiting groove 6212.

[0070] Furthermore, a pair of plug-in arms 6221 are provided on the protrusion 622, and the first adjusting bolt 623 includes a nut 6231 and a screw rod 6232. The outer peripheral wall of the nut 6231 is provided with a clamping groove 6233 extending in the radial and circumferential directions thereof, and the clamping groove 6233 is annular. The pair of plug-in arms 6221 are inserted into the clamping groove 6233 to achieve plug-in cooperation with the clamping groove 6233. Therefore, when the first adjusting bolt 623 is rotated, the connecting block 621 can be driven to rise and fall synchronously, and since the variable in the height direction of the first adjusting bolt 623 rotating one circle is very small, the pressure plate 617 can be finely adjusted in the height direction.

[0071] In this embodiment, a second slide rail unit 619 is provided between the bottom plate 611 and the first work surface 510, and the second slide rail unit 619 is distributed along the wide side direction of the first material tray 520. Thus, the bottom plate 611 can slide relative to the first work surface 510, thereby being suitable for first material trays 520 of different widths.

[0072] like Fig.13As shown, the first work surface 510 is concave to form a recessed area, the slide rail of the second slide rail unit 619 is arranged in the recessed area, and a plurality of connection holes 641 are arranged at the notch of the recessed area. A side block 640 is arranged at the end of the bottom plate 611, and a locking hole 642 is arranged on the side block 640. A third adjustment bolt (not shown) is arranged in the locking hole 642, and the third adjustment bolt is threadedly connected with the connection hole 641. When the position of the bottom plate 611 needs to be adjusted, the screw portion of the third adjustment bolt is screwed out of the connection hole 641, and then the bottom plate 611 is slid to the corresponding position, and finally the third adjustment bolt is screwed into the corresponding connection hole 641, which has the advantage of convenient adjustment.

[0073] Furthermore, a ruler 643 is provided on one side of the plurality of connection holes 641 . The ruler 643 is distributed parallel to the slide rail of the second slide rail unit 619 . The movement of the base plate 611 can be specifically quantified through the ruler 643 , and the operator can know the displacement of the base plate 611 more clearly.

[0074] In this embodiment, Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the frame 500 is further provided with a second work surface 540, and the second work surface 540 is located at one side of the first work surface 510. The bending fixture 900 is provided on the second work surface 540, and is used to perform bending operations on the material to be processed.

[0075] The material handling assembly 800 is disposed above the first work surface 510, and the material handling assembly 800 is used to handle materials. Fig.14 As shown, the material handling assembly 800 includes a manipulator 810, which can translate along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis. At the same time, the manipulator 810 can also rotate around the Z-axis, thereby transporting the material to be processed on the first material tray 520 to the bending fixture 900 for bending, and then transporting the bent material to the second material tray 530.

[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first storage assembly 300 is located at one side of the turnover work area 511 and is used to store empty first material trays 520. The second storage assembly 400 is located at one side of the discharge work area 512 and is used to store fully loaded second material trays 530.

[0077] In order to smoothly transport the empty first tray 520 in the turnover work area 511 to the first storage assembly 300 and smoothly transport the fully loaded second tray 530 in the discharge work area 512 to the second storage assembly 400, a transfer assembly 700 is further provided on the first work surface 510, and the transfer assembly 700 is arranged one-to-one with the clamping assembly 600. The transfer assembly 700 located in the turnover work area 511 is used to move the empty first tray 520 from the turnover work area 511 to the first storage assembly 300, and the transfer assembly 700 located in the discharge work area 512 is used to move the fully loaded second tray 530 from the discharge work area 512 to the second storage assembly 400.

[0078] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the second stopper 615 is disposed on the carrier plate 612 through a second cylinder 616, and the second cylinder 616 is used to enable the second stopper 615 to telescopically move in a direction perpendicular to the long side of the tray. Thus, the first tray 520 at the turnover work area 511 can be smoothly transported to the first storage assembly 300 under the action of the transfer assembly 700. Otherwise, in the direction from the turnover work area 511 to the first storage assembly 300, the second stopper 615 will block the movement of the first tray 520.

[0079] Regarding the transfer assembly 700, Fig. 20 As shown, the transfer assembly 700 includes a cantilever 710, a shifting block 720 disposed on the cantilever 710, and a linear driver 730 fixed to the first work surface 510 and drivingly connected to the cantilever 710, wherein the cantilever 710 extends along the wide side direction of the material tray, the cantilever 710 is provided with a plurality of first adjustment holes 711, and the shifting block 720 is disposed on the cantilever 710 through the first adjustment holes 711. Specifically, a pair of shifting blocks 720 are provided, and the distance between the two shifting blocks 720 is slightly smaller than the length of the wide side of the material tray. By providing two shifting blocks 720, it is possible to better contact with the wide side of the material tray, and the overall force condition of the material tray is better.

[0080] In this embodiment, if Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the bending fixture 900 is arranged on the second work surface 540 through the positioning plate 550. Specifically, the positioning plate 550 is arranged on the second work surface 540, and an inverted L-shaped strip 551 is arranged at a pair of edges of the positioning plate 550, and a fixing pin 552 is arranged at one edge of the other pair of edges of the positioning plate 550, wherein the other edge forms an insertion port for inserting the bending fixture 900. Among them, the bottom of the bending fixture 900 is a fixture bottom plate 920 that can cooperate with the insertion port, the L-shaped strip 551, and the fixing pin 552. A pin groove (not shown) that cooperates with the fixing pin 552 is arranged at the first edge of the fixture bottom plate 920, and the pin groove is "U"-shaped or "C"-shaped, and the notch of the pin groove is used for the fixing pin 552 to smoothly enter the pin groove.

[0081] A handle 910 is also provided on the side wall of the outer shell of the bending fixture 900 , and the fixture bottom plate 920 of the bending fixture 900 can be conveniently inserted into the positioning plate 550 through the handle 910 to achieve the initial positioning of the bending fixture 900 .

[0082] Furthermore, if Fig.16 As shown, the second work surface 540 and the positioning plate 550 are limited by a second limiting unit, and the second limiting unit includes a third cylinder 541 arranged below the second work surface 540 , and the piston rod of the third cylinder 541 is connected to the limiting pin 542 .

[0083] The second work surface 540 is provided with a first pin hole. The positioning plate 550 is provided with a second pin hole 553. The second edge of the fixture bottom plate 920 is provided with a third pin hole 930, and the second edge of the fixture bottom plate 920 is arranged opposite to the first edge. The third pin hole 930 may be consistent with the shape of the pin groove or may not be consistent, and may be a round hole like the first pin hole and the second pin hole 553.

[0084] The limiting pin 542 has a locking position in which the limiting pin is inserted into the first pin hole, the second pin hole 553 and the third pin hole 930, and an unlocking position in which the limiting pin is withdrawn from the second pin hole 553 and the third pin hole 930. In the locking position, the bending fixture 900 is locked on the second work surface 540. In the unlocking position, the bending fixture 900 can be removed from the second work surface 540 and replaced with other types of bending fixtures, which has the advantage of convenient fixture replacement.

[0085] Compared with the traditional connection method using fasteners such as screws, the installation accuracy of the bending fixture 900 is effectively improved, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the bending operation of the material to be processed 1000. This is because, when the position of the bending fixture 900 is accurate, the position accuracy of the material handling component 800 for placing the material to be processed 1000 is also improved, thereby, the position accuracy of the bending area is also improved.

[0086] Furthermore, a control box 570 is provided on the second work surface 540, and a button 571 is provided on the control box 570, and the button 571 is configured to switch the working state of the third cylinder 541, so that the limit pin 542 switches between the locked position and the unlocked position. The control box 570 is also provided with an alarm (not shown). When the positioning plate 550 and the bending fixture 900 are placed on the second work surface 540, and the limit pin 542 is not inserted into the second pin hole 553 and the third pin hole 930, the alarm is triggered to remind the operator that the bending fixture 900 is not installed in place.

[0087] like Fig.21 and Fig. 22As shown, the bending fixture 900 includes: a bending workbench 940, the bending workbench 940 has a third workbench surface 941, and the third workbench surface 941 is provided with a bending station 942 for placing the material to be processed 1000.

[0088] The upper bending structure 950 is disposed on the third work surface 941 through the third slide rail unit. The upper bending structure 950 has a bending position when it is located directly above the bending station 942 and an initial position away from the bending station 942. When the upper bending structure 950 is located at the initial position, the material handling assembly 800 can come over to pick up and place materials.

[0089] The bending station 942 is provided with a third position-limiting unit 970 for limiting the position of the material to be processed 1000. The third position-limiting unit 970 includes a plurality of positioning blocks 971 and a plurality of positioning pins 972. The plurality of positioning blocks 971 limit the placement position of the material to be processed 1000. The plurality of positioning pins 972 are fixed in the placement position to place the material to be processed 1000 for rotation. The material to be processed 1000 is provided with holes that cooperate with the positioning pins 972.

[0090] The FPC universal automation equipment also includes a camera unit, which includes a lower camera 560 and an upper camera 820. Figure 3 As shown, the lower camera 560 is disposed on the first work surface 510, and the upper camera 820 is disposed on the material handling assembly 800. When the QR code on the material to be processed is on the front, the upper camera 820 reads the product QR code. When the QR code on the material to be processed is on the back, the vacuum nozzle of the manipulator 810 sucks up the material to be processed, and the lower camera 560 reads the QR code on the back to complete the positioning and angle correction of the material.

[0091] In the present invention, sorting and bending can share the material handling component 800, the first loading component 100, the second loading component 200, the first storage component 300, the second storage component 400, the camera unit and other components, which effectively simplifies the structure of the equipment and has the advantage of compact structure.

[0092] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can make other different forms of changes or modifications without creative work, which should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
