[0044] In order to describe the integrated processing production line in the present invention in detail, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Figures 1 to 4 The overall or partial schematic structure of the integrated processing production line according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown from different angles.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4As shown together, the integrated processing production line of the embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 1, a support column 4, and a vibration loading module, a product grabbing module 7, a transfer module 5 and a rear-end packaging module arranged in the frame 1 and the support column 4; wherein, the vibration loading module is used to vibrate and load the product to be processed through a flexible vibration plate 8, and during the vibration process, it can ensure that the positive and reverse directions of the product are consistent (there are inconsistencies in the angles), and then the product on the flexible vibration plate 8 is grabbed by the product grabbing module 7, the product is rotated and the spacing is adjusted, and the products that meet the direction and spacing requirements are transferred to the transfer module 5; the transfer module 5 is used to circulate the product, and a transfer device is also provided on one side of the transfer module 5, and the transfer device transfers the product to the rear-end packaging module, and finally the product is assembled or packaged by the rear-end packaging module, which can realize self-delivery integrated processing of the product and improve product processing efficiency and quality.

[0047] Among them, in order to realize the vibration of the flexible vibration plate 8, the above-mentioned integrated processing production line may also include a vibration motor connected to the flexible vibration plate 8; wherein, the flexible vibration plate 8 is directly driven to vibrate according to the set vibration frequency by the vibration motor to unify the positive and reverse directions of the product to be processed, and at the same time, the first visual inspection device 14 further confirms whether the direction of the product to be processed is unified. After the first visual inspection device 14 confirms, the product grasping module 7 grasps the product.

[0048] Specifically, the product grabbing module 7 further includes a transporting nozzle (i.e., a loading and handling structure 13), a material picking and lifting mechanism, and a pitch-changing mechanism; wherein the material picking and lifting mechanism is used to drive the transporting nozzle to perform lifting and lowering movements so as to adsorb and position multiple products; it should be noted that a first visual inspection device 14 is provided on one side of the vibration loading module, and the first visual inspection device 14 can be provided on a frame or directly on the product grabbing module, and the first visual inspection device 14 detects the direction angle of the product, and the product grabbing module thereof adjusts the transporting nozzle through the pitch-changing mechanism according to the result fed back by the first visual inspection device 14. Rotation and spacing adjustment, so that the products on the transport nozzle meet the direction and spacing requirements. As an example, the number of transport nozzles can be set to at least 8 to meet the adsorption requirements of different products and shorten the transport cycle. In addition, the spacing adjustment range of the variable pitch mechanism is 25mm~40mm, and the corresponding spacing adjustment range between the transport nozzles is the same. The variable pitch mechanism can be driven by a private service motor. The specific number of transport nozzles and spacing and other adopted parameters can be flexibly set according to the specific product processing requirements. Each transport nozzle can adopt a standardized structure to reduce the switching time of different products and expand the application range of the transport nozzle.

[0049] In addition, the above-mentioned material picking and lifting mechanism can adopt ZR series linear rotary motors, including Z-axis linear motor 6, stroke 50mm and R-axis servo motor. The combination of the two can speed up the material picking speed of the product and shorten the material picking cycle. After the product is adsorbed and picked up, the angle of the product can be adjusted by rotation to ensure the consistency of the products on a group of transport nozzles, which is convenient for subsequent product transfer and packaging operations.

[0050] In order to effectively screen out defective products and ensure that the product quality of the back-end packaging module meets the requirements, a second visual inspection device 16, namely a visual inspection 14, is set on the transfer module, including a size detection mechanism and an appearance detection mechanism, wherein the size detection mechanism may include a 3D visual inspection device 10 (not shown), and the appearance detection mechanism may include a 2D visual inspection device 9 (not shown). During the movement of the product in the transfer module 5, the size of the product is inspected by the size detection mechanism, and the appearance of the product is inspected by the appearance detection mechanism. There is no priority for the two inspections. When products with poor appearance or sizes that do not meet the requirements are found, the unqualified products can be promptly processed, thereby ensuring the quality of the subsequent packaged or assembled products.

[0051] Of course, the second visual inspection device 15 is not limited to the inspection of appearance and size, but can also inspect other items, that is, it only needs to be inspected by the visual inspection device, and the specific setting can be based on actual working conditions.

[0052] In addition, in the process of loading or unloading products, for example, when adsorbing products to the transfer module 5, or transferring products from the transfer module 5 to the rear-end packaging module, or unloading defective products, the product grasping module 7 can be used to complete it, or a corresponding manipulator can be set to complete it. In order to ensure the grasping accuracy of the product and the position accuracy during processing at each workstation, a first visual inspection device 14 can also be set in the product grasping module 7 or each processing station. The first visual inspection device 14 includes a visual precision positioning module, and the visual precision positioning module includes a lower vision U-mouth camera and a side vision U-mouth camera. Through cameras at different positions, the product can be shot at different angles to obtain image information of the product, and the position of the product can be adjusted according to the image information, which can improve the product handling cycle and processing accuracy.

This process can accurately position the products with the assistance of visual inspection 16, and can realize the assembly welding of the two products.

[0057] In addition, the assembly and bonding module includes a carrier tape beveling component 31, double-sided tape, a carrier tape base plate 33, a carrier tape arranged on the carrier tape base plate 33, and a visual inspection 34; wherein, the transfer module 5 transfers the product to the carrier tape base plate 33, and the visual inspection 34 is used to calibrate the position of the product, and then the product flows on the carrier tape base plate 33, and the carrier tape 32 is combined with the double-sided tape and bonded to the product through the carrier tape beveling component. During this process, the product can be positioned by the cylinder clamp, and then after the product and the carrier tape 32 are bonded and positioned, the product is released to flow to the next station.

[0058] It should be noted that at least one product support plate may be provided in the above-mentioned transfer module 5, and the product support plate can separately support and limit the same product or different products. The distribution of the transport suction nozzles corresponds to the product arrangement of the product support plate. During the circulation of the transfer module 5, different products can be transferred to different back-end packaging modules, or different products can be assembled, etc.

[0059] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a turnover material replenishment tooling plate can also be set up. When the transport suction nozzle returns to its position, the excess products can be temporarily placed in the turnover material replenishment tooling plate. When the number of products in the turnover material replenishment tooling plate reaches a certain level, they can be grabbed once by the transport suction nozzle.

[0060] According to the integrated processing production line of the present invention, it is possible to realize vibration detection and loading of products, and then complete the detection of product appearance and size during the transfer of products. Finally, the products can be packaged or combined in various forms through the expandable back-end packaging module, which can realize automatic integrated full inspection and processing of products, thereby improving product packaging or assembly efficiency and product qualification rate.
