[0046] In order to describe the integrated processing and production method 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.

[0047] Figure 1 The schematic flow chart of the integrated processing and production method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 2 The schematic structure of an integrated processing production line according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown together, the integrated processing production method of the embodiment of the present invention produces and processes products through an integrated processing production line, and the integrated processing production line includes a frame 1, a support column 4, and a vibration feeding 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. Among them, the vibration feeding module is used to vibrate and feed the product to be processed through a flexible vibration plate 8, and can ensure that the positive and reverse directions of the product are consistent during the vibration process, 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 product that meets the direction and spacing requirements is transferred to the transfer module 5; the product is circulated through the transfer module 5, and the appearance and size of the product are inspected by the 2D visual inspection device 9 and the 3D visual inspection device 10 during the circulation process, and then the product is transferred to the rear-end packaging module through the transfer device, and finally the product is assembled or packaged by the rear-end packaging module, which can realize the self-delivery integrated processing of the product and improve the product processing efficiency and quality. Among them, when taking the product, the product after vibration loading can be taken through the material taking lifting mechanism 6, and after the product is assembled or packaged, the product can be stored in the silo 2, and the empty tray in the silo 2 can be transported through the empty tray handling module 3, or the product can be directly output through different rear-end packaging modules.

[0049] Specifically, the integrated processing and production method according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0050] S100: Control the vibration feeding module to perform vibration feeding on the products to be processed in the silo.

[0051] Among them, the process of vibrating and loading the products to be processed in the silo by the vibration loading module includes: driving the flexible vibration plate to vibrate by the vibration motor, and vibrating the product by the flexible vibration plate to make the positive and reverse directions of the product consistent, so as to facilitate the subsequent product grabbing module to grab the product.

[0052] S200: Control the product grabbing module to grab products with the same direction, and rotate and adjust them to the transfer module according to the preset spacing and angle.

[0053] In this step, the material picking and lifting structure can be used to drive the transport nozzle to adsorb and position the product; the variable pitch mechanism can be used to rotate the transport nozzle and adjust the spacing so that the product on the transport nozzle meets the preset requirements. Among them, the product grabbing module may include a transport nozzle, a material picking and lifting mechanism, and a variable pitch mechanism; wherein, the material picking and lifting mechanism drives the transport nozzle to perform lifting and lowering movements to adsorb and position multiple products; then, the variable pitch mechanism is used to rotate and adjust the spacing of the transport nozzle through the first visual inspection device, so that the product on the transport nozzle meets 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 handling cycle. In addition, the spacing adjustment range of the variable pitch mechanism is 25mm to 40mm, and the corresponding spacing adjustment range between the transport nozzles is the same. The variable pitch mechanism can be driven by a servo motor. The specific number of transport nozzles and the spacing and other adopted numbers can be flexibly set according to the specific product processing requirements. Each transport nozzle can adopt a standardized structure to reduce the project switching time and expand the scope of application of the transport nozzle.

[0054] In addition, the above-mentioned material picking and lifting mechanism can adopt ZR series linear rotary motors, including Z-axis linear motors with a stroke of 50mm and R-axis servo motors. 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.

[0055] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, in the process of loading or unloading products, for example, when adsorbing products to a transfer module, or transferring products from a transfer module to a rear-end packaging module, or unloading defective products, a product grabbing module or a transfer device can be used to complete the process, or a corresponding manipulator can be provided to complete the process. To ensure the grasping accuracy of the product and the position accuracy during processing at each workstation, a visual precision positioning module can be provided at the product grabbing module or each processing station. The visual precision positioning module includes a lower vision U-port camera and a side vision U-port camera. Through cameras at different positions, the product can be photographed at different angles to obtain image information of the product. The position of the product can be adjusted according to the image information, thereby improving the handling cycle and processing accuracy of the product.

[0056] S300: After the product grabbing module has finished placing the products, the transfer module is controlled to inspect the products.

[0057] Specifically, the product passes through the second visual inspection device during the movement of the transfer module, that is, the size of the product is inspected by the size inspection mechanism, and the appearance of the product is inspected by the appearance inspection mechanism; when the size and appearance inspections fail, the unqualified product is cut off.

[0058] Among them, the size and appearance of the products are tested in no particular order. When products with poor appearance or sizes that do not meet the requirements are found, the unqualified products can be promptly removed from the packaging to ensure the quality of the subsequent packaging or assembly products.

[0059] In addition, the second visual inspection device may include other inspection types, and the specific inspection type may be set according to actual processing conditions.

[0060] S400: After the product inspection is completed, the product is transferred to the back-end packaging module, and the back-end packaging module assembles or packages the product.

[0061] Specifically, a transfer device is provided on one side of the rear-end packaging module, and the transfer device transfers qualified products to the rear-end packaging module, wherein a third visual inspection device is also provided on one side of the transfer device to detect whether the number of products grasped by the inspection device is correct. If the number of grasped products does not meet the preset requirements, the transfer device needs to continue to absorb the products until the preset number requirements are met.

[0062] After the transfer device absorbs the preset number of products, it transfers the products to the rear-end packaging module.

[0063] Among them, the process of assembling or packaging the product through the back-end packaging module includes silo processing, taping processing, welding processing or assembly and bonding processing of the product. The assembly or packaging processing of the product can arbitrarily select one or more of the above four processing methods.

[0064] Specifically, the unloading silo processing may include: adjusting the front and back, angle and spacing of the product, and then storing it in the silo of the silo module. The appearance, size, etc. of the products in the silo meet the requirements, and form a regularly arranged product distribution, which is convenient for subsequent use and transfer.

[0065] In addition, the process of taping the product may include: running the transfer module onto the loading tray bracket, transferring the product to the feeding module through the loading tray bracket; swapping the product out to the pressing module through the feeding module; taping and pressing the product through the pressing module, and unloading the taped and pressed product through the unloading tray bracket. This process can realize taping packaging of the product.

[0066] In addition, the process of welding the products may include: transferring the products on the transfer module to the tooling turntable, and limiting the two different types of products in the transfer module on the tooling turntable; and welding the two different types of products on the tooling welding plate by a laser welding machine. The tooling turntable may be a four-station turntable or an eight-station turntable.

[0067] In addition, the process of assembling and bonding the product may include: the transfer module transfers the product to the carrier base plate, the CCD is used to calibrate the position of the product, and then the product flows on the carrier base plate, and the carrier is combined with the double-sided tape and bonded to the product through the carrier inclined assembly. During this process, the product can be positioned by the cylinder clamp, and then after the product and the carrier are bonded and positioned, the product is released and transferred to the next station.

[0068] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, at least one product support plate may be provided in the transfer module. The product support plate can separately support and limit the same product or different products. The distribution of the transport nozzles corresponds to the product arrangement of the product support plate. During the circulation of the transfer module, different products can be transferred to different back-end packaging modules, or different products can be assembled, etc.

[0069] In addition, the integrated processing and production method of the present invention may also include a turnover replenishment process. When the transport suction nozzle returns to its position, the excess products can be temporarily placed in the turnover replenishment tooling plate. When the number of products in the turnover replenishment tooling plate reaches a certain number, they can be grabbed once by the transport suction nozzle.

[0070] Furthermore, in the above steps, if it is necessary to load or unload the product, for example, to adsorb the product to the transfer module, or to transfer it from the transfer module to the back-end packaging module, or to unload defective products, etc., the product grasping module can be used to complete it, or a corresponding robot 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 visual precision positioning module can also be set in the product grasping module or each processing station. The visual precision positioning module includes a lower vision U-port camera and a side vision U-port camera. Through cameras at different positions, the product can be shot at different angles to obtain image information of the product. The position of the product can be adjusted according to the image information, which can improve the product handling cycle and processing accuracy.

[0071] According to the above-mentioned integrated processing and production method 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 process of products. Finally, the products are packaged or combined in various forms through the expandable back-end packaging module, which can realize automated integrated full inspection and processing of products, thereby improving product packaging or assembly efficiency and product qualification rate.

[0072] The integrated processing and production method according to the present invention is described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.
