[0057] Please refer to Figures 1-10 This embodiment provides a tray-loading basket for conveying trays 10. It works in conjunction with an external loading device. After the loading device removes all workpieces from the tray 10, the empty tray 10 is retrieved, and a new fully loaded tray 10 is added, thus achieving automatic tray replacement. In this embodiment, taking thermally conductive cotton as an example, protective films covering the entire thermally conductive cotton are laid on both the upper and lower sides of the cotton.

[0058] Please refer to Figures 1-10 The tray loading basket includes a loading frame 100, a transverse conveyor 200, and a lifting conveyor. The feeding frame 100 has an upper platform 110 and a lower frame 120. The upper platform 110 is provided with a recycling station 1000 and two feeding stations 2000, which are respectively located on both sides of the recycling station 1000. The lower frame 120 has a clearance opening on one side for the material tray 10 to enter and exit. A transverse conveyor 200 is provided on the upper platform 110 and is used to move the material tray 10 from the feeding station 2000 to the recycling station 1000. A lifting conveyor is provided on the lower frame 120 and is used to move the material tray 10 to be fed from the clearance opening into the lower frame 120 and rise to the feeding station 2000, and to move the material tray 10 on the recycling station 1000 down and out of the lower frame 120 from the clearance opening.

[0059] Specifically, the tray-loading basket provided in this embodiment has a recycling station 1000 and two loading stations 2000 set on the upper platform 110 of the loading frame 100. The two loading stations 2000 allow the loading equipment to alternately or simultaneously pick up materials from the two trays 10. When the trays 10 are empty, the transverse conveyor 200 moves the trays 10 from the loading station 2000 to the recycling station 1000. At the same time, in the lower frame 120 of the loading frame 100, the lifting conveyor moves the trays 10 to be loaded into the lower frame 120 and rises to the recycling station 1000. The lifting conveyor also moves the trays 10 at the recycling station 1000 down and out of the lower frame 120. In summary, the tray-loading basket provided in this embodiment achieves fully automatic replacement of the tray 10, with a higher degree of automation. Furthermore, by setting up dual loading stations 2000, the loading and unloading actions of the tray 10 will not interrupt each other, enabling continuous loading operations and improving production efficiency.

[0060] For example, please refer to Figures 1-4 Both loading stations 2000 are equipped with clamping devices 300, which are used to clamp and fix the material trays 10 to improve the stability during loading. Furthermore, the output end of the transverse conveyor 200 is connected to the clamping devices 300 to drive the clamping devices 300 to move between the loading station 2000 and the recovery station 1000. When the transverse conveyor 200 is in operation, the clamping devices 300 fix the material trays 10, ensuring the stability of horizontal conveying and improving reliability.

[0061] For example, please refer to Figures 1-4 The recycling station 1000 and the loading station 2000 are distributed along a horizontal first direction, which is the X direction in the figure. The output end of the transverse conveyor 200 is also extended and retracted along the X direction. Specifically, the transverse conveyor 200 has two output ends respectively corresponding to the two loading stations 2000. Two clamping devices 300 are respectively connected to the two output ends of the transverse conveyor 200. The transverse conveyor 200 specifically includes two linear drive members 210 with opposite extension and retraction directions. The linear drive member 210 can be an electric actuator or a linear cylinder. In this embodiment, the linear drive member 210 is a linear cylinder. The extension and retraction end of one linear cylinder is set in the X direction and connected to one of the clamping devices 300, and the extension and retraction end of the other linear cylinder is set in the opposite direction of the X direction and connected to the other clamping device 300.

[0062] For example, please refer to Figures 6-7The clamping device 300 includes a rectangular base 310, two clamping drive assemblies 320, and two clamping rods 330. The rectangular base 310 is slidably connected to the upper platform 110 along the X-direction via a slide rail slider structure. The output end of the transverse conveying device 200 is connected to the rectangular base 310. A hollow section is provided in the middle of the rectangular base 310 to allow the lifting conveying device to drive the material tray 10 through vertically. The two clamping drive assemblies 320 are symmetrically mounted on the rectangular base 310 about a second direction (i.e., the Y-direction in the figure). The two clamping rods 330 are connected one-to-one to the output ends of the two clamping drive assemblies 320. The two clamping rods 330 are respectively positioned on two opposite first sides 311 of the rectangular base 310. Under the drive of the two clamping drive assemblies 320, the two clamping rods 330 move closer together to clamp the material tray 10 between them.

[0063] For further details, please refer to Figures 6-7 The clamping drive assembly 320 includes two clamping drive members 321 and two clamping connecting blocks 322. The two clamping drive members 321 are respectively disposed on two opposing second sides 312 on the square base 310. The two clamping connecting blocks 322 are slidably disposed on the two second sides 312 via a slide rail slider structure. The two clamping connecting blocks 322 are respectively connected to the output ends of the two clamping drive members 321 and the two ends of the clamping rod 330. Specifically, the two clamping drive members 321 in the same clamping drive assembly 320 extend and retract in the same direction. During operation, the two clamping drive members 321 extend and retract synchronously to drive the clamping rod 330 to translate along the length direction of the second side 312. The clamping drive members 321 in different sets of clamping drive assemblies 320 extend and retract in opposite directions. The two sets of clamping drive assemblies 320 cooperate to make the two clamping rods 330 translate towards or away from each other. The clamping drive 321 can be an electric actuator or a linear cylinder. In this embodiment, the clamping drive 321 adopts a linear cylinder.

[0064] For example, please refer to Figures 6-7 The clamping plate connecting block 322 is provided with an adjustment hole 323 extending in the same direction as the second side 312. The clamping plate connecting block 322 and the clamping rod 330 are connected by a fastening bolt passing through the adjustment hole 323. The relative position of the fastening bolt and the adjustment hole 323 is adjustable, so that the user can adjust the parallelism and spacing between the two clamping rods 330 to improve flexibility.

[0065] For example, please refer to Figures 5-7 The bottom side of the material tray 10 corresponding to the clamping rod 330 is provided with a clamping groove 11. A clamping piece 331 is installed on the clamping rod 330. When the clamping rod 330 moves toward the material tray 10, the clamping piece 331 extends into the clamping groove 11 and abuts against the inner wall of the clamping groove 11. The clamping piece 331 can support the top wall of the clamping groove 11.

[0066] For example, please refer to Figures 5-7 The material tray 10 has multiple adsorption holes 12 on its material receiving area and external connection holes 13 on its edge area. The multiple adsorption holes 12 and the external connection holes 13 are connected through air passages. The tray loading basket also includes a vacuum adsorption device 400 connected to an external vacuum generating mechanism. The vacuum adsorption device 400 can connect to the external connection holes 13. When the vacuum generating mechanism is working, the vacuum adsorption device 400 extracts the air in the air passage, thereby adsorbing and fixing the protective film on the lower side of the heat-conducting cotton, preventing the protective film from being mistakenly removed by the loading equipment, and improving reliability.

[0067] For example, please refer to Figures 6-7 The vacuum adsorption device 400 is installed on the clamping device 300, and two vacuum adsorption devices 400 are installed on each clamping device 300. The two vacuum adsorption devices 400 are respectively set on the two second sides 312 of the square base 310, corresponding to the external connection holes 13 set at both ends of the material tray 10 in the Y direction. The vacuum adsorption device 400 includes a lifting drive 410, an adsorption nozzle 420 and an adsorption mounting plate 430. The lifting drive 410 is installed on the second side 312 and located between the two clamping drive components 321. The adsorption mounting plate 430 is fixed to the output end of the lifting drive 410. The adsorption mounting plate 430 is equipped with an adsorption nozzle 420. The number of adsorption nozzles 420 can be one, two or more. In this embodiment, the adsorption mounting plate 430 is equipped with two adsorption nozzles 420. The adsorption nozzles 420 are connected to the vacuum generating mechanism through air pipes. Driven by the lifting drive 410, the suction nozzle 420 can move up and down vertically to approach or move away from the material tray 10. When the suction nozzle 420 descends to a preset height, it connects with the external connection hole 13. The lifting drive 410 can be an electric actuator or a linear cylinder. In this embodiment, the lifting drive 410 adopts a linear cylinder.

[0068] For example, please refer to Figures 1-4 The loading station 2000 is also equipped with a film-tearing device 500, which is used to tear off the protective film on the upper side of the heat-conducting cotton so that the loading equipment can pick up the material. The film-tearing device 500 includes a film-tearing mechanism 510, a film-tearing lifting drive 520, and a film-tearing translation drive 530. The film-tearing mechanism 510 is used to grab the protective film. The film-tearing mechanism 510 is connected to the output end of the film-tearing lifting drive 520. The film-tearing lifting drive 520 drives the film-tearing mechanism 510 to move up and down to approach or move away from the protective film. The film-tearing translation drive 530 is installed on the loading frame 100. The film-tearing translation drive 530 can drive the film-tearing mechanism 510 to move along the Y direction to approach the material tray 10 or horizontally pull the protective film.

[0069] For further details, please refer to Figures 8-10The film-tearing mechanism 510 includes a film-tearing seat 511, a film-lifting assembly, and a film-suction assembly. The film-tearing seat 511 is fixed to the output end of the film-tearing lifting drive 520. Both the film-lifting assembly and the film-suction assembly are installed on the film-tearing seat 511. The film-lifting assembly can extend into the gap between the protective film and the material tray 10 to hook up the protective film. The film-suction assembly is used to absorb the hooked protective film. Specifically, the film-lifting assembly includes a film-lifting drive 512, a film-lifting connecting plate 513, a film-lifting adjusting plate 514, and a film-lifting hook 515. The film-lifting drive 512 is a linear drive element such as a linear cylinder or electric push rod, and is installed on the film-tearing seat 511. The output end of the film-lifting drive 512 is connected to the film-lifting connecting plate 513. The film-lifting connecting plate 513 is slidably mounted on the film-tearing seat 511 along the Y direction via a slide rail slider structure. The film-lifting hook 515 is connected to the lower part of the film-lifting connecting plate 513 via the film-lifting adjusting plate 514. The connection height between the film-raising adjustment plate 514 and the film-raising connecting plate 513 can be adjusted via the oblong hole. The relative connection position between the film-raising hook 515 and the film-raising adjustment plate 514 in the Y direction can also be adjusted via the oblong hole. There are two or more film-raising adjustment plates 514 and film-raising hooks 515, with multiple film-raising hooks 515 spaced apart along the X direction. The film-raising drive unit 512 can drive the film-raising hooks 515 to move along the Y direction so that the film-raising hooks 515 extend into the gap between the protective film and the material tray 10. When the film-raising hooks 515 are located in the gap between the protective film and the material tray 10, the film-tearing lifting drive unit 520 drives the film-tearing mechanism 510 to rise as a whole, and one end of the protective film is lifted, achieving the purpose of film raising.

[0070] For example, please refer to Figures 8-10 The film suction assembly includes a film suction lifting drive 516, a film suction mounting plate 517, a vertical connecting pipe 518, and several flexible suction cups 519. The film suction lifting drive 516 is mounted on the film tearing seat 511, and the output end of the film suction lifting drive 516 is connected to the film suction mounting plate 517. The vertical connecting pipe 518 is slidably mounted on the film tearing seat 511 in the vertical direction through a linear bearing 5181. The lower end of the vertical connecting pipe 518 is fixed to the film suction mounting plate 517, and the upper end of the vertical connecting pipe 518 is connected to another external vacuum generating mechanism through an air pipe. A limit block 5182 is also installed on the upper end of the vertical connecting pipe 518 to limit the extreme position of the descent of the vertical connecting pipe 518. The flexible suction cups 519 are mounted on the film suction mounting plate 517. The film suction mounting plate 517 has an air channel. One end of the air channel is connected to the vertical connecting pipe 518, and the other end is connected to the flexible suction cups 519. The output end of the film suction lifting drive 516 can extend and retract vertically, thereby driving the film suction mounting plate 517 and its flexible suction cup 519 to rise and fall, so as to cause the flexible suction cup 519 to press against the protective film. The flexible suction cup 519 is made of flexible rubber or silicone material and can extend and deform vertically to flexibly contact the protective film. The film suction lifting drive 516 can be selected as an electric actuator or a linear cylinder. In this embodiment, the lifting drive 410 adopts a linear cylinder.

[0071] For example, please refer to Figures 8-10 The assembly includes multiple flexible suction cups 519 and at least two vertical connecting tubes 518 arranged side-by-side, with each vertical connecting tube 518 connected to two or more flexible suction cups 519. This film suction assembly can adsorb the protective film at multiple points, preventing the protective film from falling off and improving reliability.

[0072] For example, please refer to Figures 8-10 The film-tearing mechanism 510 also includes a film-clamping plate 501, which is vertically positioned and mounted on the side of the film-suction mounting plate 517 opposite to the film-lifting assembly. The lower edge of the film-clamping plate 501 facing the film-lifting assembly has a clamping slope 5011. When the film-lifting drive unit 512 drives the film-lifting hook 515 to move towards the film-clamping plate 501, the film-lifting hook 515 and the clamping slope 5011 clamp the protective film, ensuring reliable contact between the flexible suction cup 519 and the protective film. Furthermore, the connection height between the film-clamping plate 501 and the film-suction mounting plate 517 can be adjusted via a slotted hole to flexibly adjust the height relationship between the film-clamping plate 501, the film-lifting hook 515, and the flexible suction cup 519.

[0073] For example, please refer to Figures 8-10 The film-tearing mechanism 510 also includes a film-suction pressure gauge 5191, which is installed on the film-tearing seat 511. Its detection end is connected to the air passage on the film-suction mounting plate 517 through a pipe, and is used to detect the pressure of the protective film adsorbed by the flexible suction cup 519.

[0074] For example, please refer to Figures 1-4 A waste film recycling tray 540 is provided next to the loading station 2000. The waste film recycling tray 540 is detachably connected to the loading frame 100. The film tearing translation drive 530 drives the film tearing mechanism 510 to move between the loading station 2000 and the waste film recycling tray 540. The film tearing mechanism 510 places the torn protective film into the waste film recycling tray 540. After the waste film recycling tray 540 is full, the staff can remove the waste film recycling tray 540 as a whole to clean up the waste film.

[0075] For example, please refer to Figures 2-4 The film-tearing lifting drive 520 is slidably mounted on the upper platform 110 along the Y direction via a slide rail slider structure. The output end of the film-tearing translation drive 530 is extended and retracted along the Y direction and connected to the film-tearing lifting drive 520. Optionally, the film-tearing lifting drive 520 is an electric actuator or a linear cylinder, and the film-tearing translation drive 530 is an electric actuator or a linear cylinder.

[0076] For example, please refer to Figures 1-10The upper platform 110 is also equipped with a control module 600. The control module 600 contains control devices that are electrically connected to the transverse conveyor 200, the lifting conveyor, the clamping device 300, the vacuum adsorption device 400, and the film tearing device 500. The control panel 610 is set on the outside of the control module 600. The control panel 610 is equipped with multiple control buttons and a suction pressure gauge. The top of the control module 600 is provided with a groove to accommodate the waste film recycling tray 540.

[0077] For example, please refer to Figures 1-4 The lifting and conveying device includes three lifting and conveying modules 700 arranged side by side along the X direction. These three modules 700 correspond to the recycling station 1000 and two loading stations 2000, respectively. Each lifting and conveying module 700 includes a conveying mechanism 710 and a lifting platform assembly 720. The conveying mechanism 710 is located at the bottom of the lower frame 120 and is used to drive the material tray 10 horizontally into or out of the lower frame 120 along the Y direction. The lifting platform assembly 720 is vertically arranged on the inner wall of the lower frame 120 and is located at the end of the conveying mechanism 710, used to drive the material tray 10 to move up and down between the conveying mechanism 710 and the upper platform 110. The conveying mechanism 710 adopts a multi-roller conveyor line as used in the prior art, and the lifting platform assembly 720 adopts a lifting slide structure as used in the prior art. The specific structures and working principles of both are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0078] It is understandable that the lifting and conveying module 700 set for the recycling station 1000 is used to drive the material tray 10 on the recycling station 1000 to descend and move out of the lower frame 120, while the lifting and conveying module 700 set for the loading station 2000 is used to drive the material tray 10 to be loaded into the lower frame 120 and rise to the loading station 2000.

[0079] Specifically, below the loading station 2000, workers place multiple trays 10 containing workpieces through a clearance opening. The trays 10 are stacked on top of each other. A conveyor mechanism 710 moves the trays 10 horizontally into the inner end. At this time, the lifting platform assembly 720 lowers below the support surface of the conveyor mechanism 710. Then, the lifting platform assembly 720 rises, moving the trays 10 upwards until the topmost tray 10 reaches the loading station 2000. A clamping device 300 clamps the topmost tray 10. Simultaneously, the lifting platform assembly 720 lowers the remaining trays 10 to a certain height, separating them from the trays 10 held by the clamping device 300. After the workpieces on the trays 10 are loaded, a transverse conveyor 200 moves the trays 10 to the recycling station 1000. The lifting platform assembly 720 below position 2000 continues to push the next material tray 10 up to the loading station 2000, realizing the function of loading material layer by layer. The transverse conveyor 200 can alternately transfer the material trays 10 on the two loading stations 2000 to the recycling station 1000. The lifting platform assembly 720 located below the recycling station 1000 receives the material trays 10 released by the clamping device 300. Each time it receives a material tray 10, the lifting platform assembly 720 descends a certain height to realize the function of recycling material trays 10 layer by layer. When the number of recycled material trays 10 reaches the preset value, the lifting platform assembly 720 descends to the lowest point. The corresponding conveying mechanism 710 receives multiple material trays 10 and drives multiple material trays 10 outward from the clearance opening so that the staff can recycle multiple material trays 10 at the same time.

[0080] For example, please refer to Figures 1-2 Adjacent lifting and conveying modules 700 are separated by an isolation sheet metal 730, forming three conveying cavities in the lower frame 120. This ensures that each lifting and conveying module 700 independently conveys the tray 10, restricts the lateral position of the tray 10, prevents the tray 10 from slipping, and further improves reliability. On the side near the clearance opening, the isolation sheet metal 730 is provided with a clearance slope 731 so that the conveying cavity forms a horn-shaped interface, facilitating the entry and exit of the tray 10.

[0081] For example, please refer to Figure 3To facilitate connection to the main unit of the automated production line, the loading frame 100 is equipped with an electrical socket or plug. When the tray-loaded loading basket is installed on the main unit, the loading frame 100 is electrically connected to the main unit through the cooperation of the electrical socket and the electrical plug. It is understood that this application does not limit the specific location of the electrical socket and the electrical plug; they can be set according to specific needs. Regarding the structural connection, one of the loading frame 100 and the main unit is equipped with a positioning component, and the other with a positioning hole. When the tray-loaded loading basket is installed on the main unit, the positioning component is inserted into the positioning hole, thereby positioning the loading frame 100 on the main unit. This effectively improves the reliability of the structural and electrical connections of the tray-loaded loading basket, enabling modular installation of the tray-loaded loading basket.

[0082] For example, please refer to Figures 1-3 The bottom of the feeding frame 100 is equipped with casters 130, which include swivel casters and directional casters, so that the tray loading basket can move on the ground, making it convenient for workers to move and install the tray loading basket.

Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
