[0048] The following specific embodiments are exemplary and non-limiting, and are intended to provide a basic understanding of the present application, and are not intended to identify the key or decisive elements of the present application or to limit the scope of protection. As long as there is no structural conflict, the various technical features mentioned in each embodiment can be combined in any way.

[0049] When a component is considered to be “provided on” another component, it can be directly provided on the other component or there may be a component in between. When a component is considered to be “connected to” another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component in between.

[0050] It can be understood that the term "perpendicular" is used to describe an ideal state between two components. In actual production or use, there may be a state that is approximately perpendicular between the two components. For example, in combination with numerical descriptions, perpendicularity can refer to the angle between two straight lines being between 90°±10°, perpendicularity can also refer to the dihedral angle between two planes being between 90°±10°, and perpendicularity can also refer to the angle between a straight line and a plane being between 90°±10°. The two components described as "perpendicular" may not be absolute straight lines or planes, but may be roughly straight lines or planes. From a macroscopic perspective, a component can be considered a "straight line" or a "plane" if the overall extension direction is a straight line or a plane.

[0051] The present application provides a material picking device, including a material picking mechanism and a labeling mechanism. The material picking mechanism is used to transfer a material tray. The labeling mechanism is connected to the material picking mechanism. The labeling mechanism is configured to attach a label to the material tray when the material picking mechanism picks up materials. The present application reduces the time for attaching labels separately by completing the action of attaching labels when picking up materials, thereby improving the efficiency of picking up and labeling, and thus improving production efficiency.

[0052] Some embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

The labeling mechanism 20 is connected to the material picking mechanism 10, and the labeling mechanism 20 is configured to attach a label 300 to the material tray 200 when the material picking mechanism 10 picks up materials. The present application reduces the time for attaching the label 300 separately by completing the action of attaching the label 300 when picking up materials, thereby improving the efficiency of picking up materials and labeling, and thus improving production efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments, the center of the material tray 200 is provided with an opening 201, and the material taking mechanism 10 is used to extend into the opening 201 to clamp the material tray 200 or release the material tray 200. The material tray 200 is provided with a hollow area 202 and a first area 203, and the hollow area 202 is located between the first area 203 and the opening 201. The first area 203 is an area formed by the outer edge of the material tray 200 shrinking along the radial direction of the material tray 200, and the labeling mechanism 20 is used to attach the label 300 to the first area 203. Other areas on the surface of the material tray 200 are used to adhere other information codes, such as a two-dimensional code, etc. In some embodiments, the width of the first area 203 in the radial direction of the material tray 200 is 10 mm to 15 mm.

[0055] In some embodiments, the material picking mechanism 10 includes a connecting member 11, a material picking driving member 12, and two material picking members 13. The connecting member 11, the material picking driving member 12, and the material picking members 13 are arranged along the first direction X. The material picking driving member 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting member 11, and the two material picking members 13 are connected to the material picking driving member 12. The material picking driving member 12 is configured to drive the two material picking members 13 to move toward or away from each other to achieve clamping or releasing the material tray 200.

[0056] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the material picking mechanism 10 further includes a manipulator 14, and one end of the connecting member 11 away from the material picking member 13 is connected to the manipulator 14.

[0057] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, each material picking member 13 includes a connecting portion 131 and a clamping portion 132. The connecting portion 131 is connected to the material picking drive member 12, and the clamping portion 132 is connected to the connecting portion 131, and the clamping portion 132 is used to extend into the opening 201. The two clamping portions 132 are configured to move toward each other to release the material tray 200, and the two clamping portions 132 are configured to move away from each other to clamp the material tray 200. Specifically, the two connecting portions 131 are fixedly connected to the material picking drive member 12, and the material picking drive member 12 drives the two connecting portions 131 to move, thereby driving the two clamping portions 132 to move toward or away from each other. Optionally, the material picking drive member 12 includes a slide cylinder.

[0058] In some embodiments, the clamping portion 132 is configured to match the structure of the opening 201, which is conducive to clamping the material tray 200. For example, the opening 201 is a circular structure, and when viewed in the direction opposite to the first direction X, the clamping portion 132 is configured to be a semicircular structure, and when the two clamping portions 132 are in contact with each other, a circular structure is formed.

[0059] In some embodiments, the labeling mechanism 20 includes a mounting frame 21 and a suction nozzle 22. The mounting frame 21 is connected to the side of the connecting member 11 away from the material taking driving member 12. The suction nozzle 22 is connected to the mounting frame 21. When the clamping portion 132 extends into the opening 201, the suction nozzle 22 can be driven to move toward the first area 203, so that the suction nozzle 22 attaches the label 300 to the first area 203.

[0060] In some embodiments, the labeling mechanism 20 includes an elastic member 23, and the suction nozzle 22 is elastically connected to the mounting frame 21 through the elastic member 23. The elastic member 23 is configured so that when the material picking member 13 picks up materials, the suction nozzle 22 compresses the elastic member 23, which can buffer the force of the suction nozzle 22 on the material tray 200, and can maintain pressure on the label 300, thereby increasing the bonding strength between the label 300 and the material tray 200, improving the pasting effect, and reducing the possibility of the label 300 falling off.

[0061] In some embodiments, the mounting frame 21 includes a first mounting plate 211 and a second mounting plate 212 , the first mounting plate 211 is connected to the connecting member 11 , the second mounting plate 212 is connected to the first mounting plate 211 , and the suction nozzle 22 is connected to the second mounting plate 212 .

[0062] In some embodiments, the first mounting plate 211 includes a first plate 2111 and a second plate 2112, the first plate 2111 is connected to the connecting member 11, one end of the second plate 2112 is connected to the first plate 2111, and the other end extends along the first direction X, and the second mounting plate 212 is connected to the second plate 2112, so that the suction nozzle 22 and the material picking member 13 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y, which is convenient for attaching the label 300 when picking materials. The first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0063] In some embodiments, the mounting frame 21 is provided with a first adjustment slot 21a, the first adjustment slot 21a is provided on the first plate 2111, and the first adjustment slot 21a runs through the first plate 2111. The first adjustment slot 21a adjusts the distance between the material picking member 13 and the suction nozzle 22 to match the radial distance from the center of the material tray 200 to the first area 203. The distance from the center of the material tray 200 of the same specification to the first area 203 is fixed. By adjusting the distance between the material picking member 13 and the suction nozzle 22 through the first adjustment slot 21a, a variety of material trays 200 of different specifications can be matched, thereby improving practicality.

[0064] In some embodiments, the surface of the first plate 2111 is provided with scale marks to facilitate adjustment of the distance between the material picking member 13 and the suction nozzle 22 and to improve accuracy.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second mounting plate 212 includes a third plate 2121 and a fourth plate 2122. The third plate 2121 is disposed along the first direction X, and the third plate 2121 is connected to the second plate 2112. The fourth plate 2122 is disposed along the second direction Y, and the fourth plate 2122 is connected to the third plate 2121, and the suction nozzle 22 is connected to the fourth plate 2122.

[0066] In some embodiments, the mounting frame 21 is provided with a second adjustment groove 21b, and the second adjustment groove 21b is provided on the third plate 2121. The second adjustment groove 21b passes through the third plate 2121 and is used to adjust the position of the suction nozzle 22 in the first direction X, thereby adapting to material trays 200 of different thicknesses, and being able to adjust the force with which the suction nozzle 22 maintains pressure on the label 300.

[0067] When the above-mentioned material picking device 100 is in use, the manipulator 14 drives the material picking member 13 to move, so that the gripping portion 132 extends into the opening 201. After the gripping portion 132 extends into the opening 201 and reaches the material picking position, the manipulator 14 also drives the suction nozzle 22 to move toward the first area 203, and attaches the label 300 to the first area 203, completing the material picking and labeling.

[0068] The present application completes the action of attaching the label 300 at the same time as the material is taken, thereby reducing the time for attaching the label 300 separately, improving the efficiency of material taking and labeling, and further improving production efficiency.

[0069] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present application, there is also a material taking system 400, including a marking device 401, a feeding device 402, a discharging device 403 and a material taking device 100. The feeding device 402 is used to supply a material tray 200. The marking device 401 is used to print a corresponding label 300 on the supplied material tray 200. The material taking device 100 is used to suck the label 300 with a suction nozzle 22 at the marking device 401, and is used to attach the label 300 to the material tray 200 when the feeding device 402 takes the material. The material taking device 100 is also used to place the material tray 200 with the label 300 attached to the discharging device 403. After the discharging device 403 is fully loaded, the material tray 200 is moved to the next workstation for further processing.
