[0010] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0011] The embodiments of the present application provide an automatic loading device that can realize the transplanting and flipping of memory sticks, avoiding the problems of poor precision and low productivity caused by manual participation.

[0012] Specifically, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an automatic feeding device according to an embodiment of the present application includes: The first loading assembly 1 is used to store a tray, on which a memory stick is stored. For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the tray is provided with a plurality of slots, which are spaced apart along a first direction, and the memory stick is placed in the slots and kept in a vertical state.

[0013] A first transplanting component 2, used for grabbing the material tray on the first loading component 1 and placing it on the fixing component 3; The fixing component 3 is used to fix the material tray to facilitate grabbing of the object to be processed in the material tray; The second transfer assembly 4 is used to transfer the object to be processed on the material tray in the fixed assembly 3 to the next workstation.

[0014] The turning component is used to turn the object to be processed into a flat state.

[0015] The object to be processed may be a memory stick or other sheet-shaped products.

[0016] The tasks of transferring and turning the tray and the workpiece to be processed are all completed by the mechanical structure, without the need for human intervention. The mechanical structure has high precision, which reduces errors caused by human factors, reduces the probability of damage during the transfer and transportation of the memory stick, and improves the yield rate. In addition, the automatic feeding equipment adopts a fully automated form to improve production efficiency. Although the initial investment cost will be high, long-term use will save labor costs. Therefore, the technical problems of insufficient manual operation precision and low productivity can be solved, and the technical effects of high yield rate and high production efficiency can be achieved.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, the first transplanting component 2 includes a first moving element 21 and a first grabbing element 22. The first moving element 21 is connected to the first grabbing element 22, driving the first grabbing element 22 to move between the upper flip of the first loading component 1 and the top of the fixing component 3. The first grabbing element 22 is used to grab the material tray on the first loading component 1 and place the material tray on the fixing component. The first grabbing element 22 performs a grabbing action above the first loading component 1, grabs the material tray on the first loading component 1, and then moves to the top of the fixing component 3 with the action of the first moving element 21. The first grabbing element 22 opens after moving into position, and releases the grabbed material tray to the fixing component 3.

[0018] The fixing assembly 3 positions the material tray to prevent the material tray from shifting when the second transplanting assembly 4 grabs the object to be processed.

[0019] The second transplanting assembly 4 includes a second moving element 41 and a second grabbing element 42. The second moving element 41 is connected to the second grabbing element 42, driving the second grabbing element 42 to move between the fixed assembly 3 and the top of the flip assembly 5. The second grabbing element 42 is used to grab and release the memory stick. The second grabbing element 42 grabs the memory stick in the tray above the fixed assembly 3, and then moves to the top of the flip assembly 5 with the movement of the second moving element 41. After moving into position, the second grabbing element 42 opens and releases the grabbed memory stick to the flip assembly 5.

[0020] The flip assembly 5 includes a flip element 51 and a flattening element 52. The flip element 51 flips the memory stick 90 degrees and transports it to the flattening element 52 to wait for the next step.

[0021] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first loading component 1 and the fixed component 3 are sequentially arranged along the first direction, so that the first moving element 21 only needs to drive the first grabbing element 22 to move along the first direction. On the one hand, the structure and movement path of the first moving element 21 can be simplified, and on the other hand, the first loading component 1 and the fixed component 3 are more compact, which can reduce the volume of the overall device accordingly; the flipping element 51 is arranged on one side of the second direction of the fixed component 3, and the flipping element 51 and the paving element 52 are sequentially arranged along the first direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and both are horizontal directions. The flipping element 51 is arranged on one side of the second direction of the fixed component 3, which is also considered from the perspective of the overall layout, so that the overall layout is more compact, and the movement path of the second grabbing element 42 can be reduced as much as possible.

[0022] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the second grasping element 42 includes a mounting bracket 421, a first driving unit 422 and a first grasping portion. The mounting bracket 421 is connected to the second moving element 41 and moves along the first direction with the second moving element 41. The first grasping portion includes two clamping jaws 423 arranged opposite to each other along the second direction. The upper ends of the clamping jaws 423 are movably connected to the mounting bracket 421. The first driving unit 422 is fixedly disposed on the mounting bracket 421 and connected to the two clamping jaws 423, driving the two clamping jaws 423 to move closer to or away from each other along the second direction.

[0023] Exemplarily, the first driving unit 422 is a first cylinder, which is fixed on the mounting bracket 421, and the piston rod of the first cylinder is set downward. When the piston rod of the first cylinder reciprocates in the vertical direction, it can drive the two jaws 423 to approach each other or move away from each other, wherein the two jaws 423 achieve a grasping action when they approach each other, and achieve a releasing action when the two jaws 423 move away from each other.

[0024] Since the object to be processed grasped by the second grasping element 42 is in a vertical state, the grasping action is more stable and convenient to operate by applying a clamping force to the object to be processed at both ends of the object to be processed by arranging the clamping claws 423 to grasp the object to be processed.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, a first slide rail and a first slide groove that cooperate with each other are provided between the clamp 423 and the mounting bracket 421, the first slide rail is arranged along the second direction, and a fixing portion 4211 is also provided on the mounting bracket 421, the fixing portion 4211 is located on the outside of the clamp 423 in the second direction, and the fixing portion 4211 and the clamp 423 are connected by an elastic reset member 426.

[0026] Specifically, a first slide rail and a first slide groove are provided between the clamping jaw 423 and the mounting bracket 421, and the sliding cooperation between the first slide rail and the first slide groove can provide guidance and assistance for the movement of the clamping jaw 423. A fixing portion 4211 is provided on the outer side of the clamping jaw 423, and is connected to the clamping jaw 423 through an elastic reset member 426. The elastic reset member 426 keeps the clamping jaw 423 in the grasping position in a natural state. When subjected to an external force, the clamping jaw 423 moves outward, the distance between the two clamping jaws 423 increases, and the object to be processed between the clamping jaws 423 is released. When the external force disappears, the clamping jaw 423 can be reset under the action of the elastic reset member 426.

[0027] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, a driving block 424 is provided on the first driving unit 422, and the first driving unit 422 drives the driving block 424 to move up and down. The driving block 424 is clamped between two clamping jaws 423, and the width of the driving block 424 along the second direction gradually increases from bottom to top. No matter it is a grasping action or a releasing action, the two side surfaces of the driving block 424 along the second direction are respectively in contact with the two clamping jaws 423. The width of the lower end of the driving block 424 is smaller, and the width of the upper end is larger. When the piston rod of the first driving unit 422 is extended, the driving block 424 is driven to move downward, so that the upper end of the driving block 424 is correspondingly contacted with the two clamping jaws 423. The driving block 424 squeezes the clamping jaws 423, so that the two clamping jaws 423 move in the back-to-back direction, thereby realizing the opening of the two clamping jaws 423; when the piston rod of the first driving unit 422 is retracted, the lower end of the driving block 424 is correspondingly contacted with the two clamping jaws 423. Under the action of the elastic reset member 426, the two clamping jaws 423 move in a direction close to each other, thereby realizing the grasping of the two clamping jaws 423.

[0028] It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present application, the elastic reset member 426 may be a reset spring or a structure such as silicone or rubber that can be compressed and deformed and reset after the pressure disappears.

[0029] It is understandable that the fixing portion 4211 and the elastic reset member 426 can also be arranged on the inner side of the clamping jaw 423 along the second direction, and the driving block 424 can be arranged on the outer side of the clamping jaw 423. During the extension and retraction process, the piston rod of the first driving unit 422 can squeeze the clamping jaw 423 to move the clamping jaw 423 inward to achieve the grasping work. When the squeezing force becomes smaller, the clamping jaw 423 moves outward under the action of the elastic reset member 426, and the two clamping jaws 423 open to each other.

[0030] In order to reduce the friction between the driving block 424 and the clamping jaw 423 when the driving block 424 moves up and down, a follower wheel 425 is provided on the clamping jaw 423, and the follower wheel 425 is rotatably connected to the clamping jaw 423. The two side surfaces of the driving block 424 along the second direction respectively cooperate with the follower wheel 425 on the clamping jaw 423. When the driving block 424 moves up and down, on the one hand, it can drive the follower wheel 425 to rotate to reduce the friction between the driving block 424 and the clamping jaw 423, and on the other hand, it can squeeze the clamping jaw 423 to move the two clamping jaws 423 in a direction of approaching or moving away from each other.

[0031] Exemplarily, a plug rod is provided on the clamp 423, the plug rod is provided along a first direction, a follower wheel 425 is mounted on the plug rod, and the follower wheel 425 can rotate around the plug rod, and the driving block 424 rolls with the two follower wheels 425 along two side surfaces in the second direction.

[0032] The number of the first gripping parts can be set to one or more. In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the first gripping parts is two, and the two first gripping parts are arranged in parallel along the first direction on both sides of the mounting bracket 421. Exemplarily, the two gripping parts are respectively arranged corresponding to the two side surfaces of the mounting bracket 421 along the first direction. The two gripping parts can be driven to open and close by the same first driving unit 422, or can be driven to open and close by their respective first driving units 422. By setting two first gripping parts, the second moving element 41 can drive the second gripping element 42 to simultaneously grab two objects to be processed when moving, and the working efficiency is high.

[0033] It can be understood that in order to ensure that the two first grasping parts can grasp the objects to be processed at the same time, the spacing between the two first grasping parts along the first direction is matched with the spacing between the two objects to be processed on the material tray. When grasping the objects to be processed, the second grasping element 42 grasps in sequence along the first direction, grasping two objects to be processed each time and transferring them to the flipping element 51.

[0034] The second grasping element 42 needs to move along the first direction, the second direction and the vertical direction in the process of grasping the workpiece. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, the second moving element 41 includes a first moving module 411, a second moving module 412 and a third moving module 413, which respectively realize the movement along the first direction, the second direction and the vertical direction. Specifically, the first moving module 411 is connected to the second moving module 412 to drive the second moving module 412 to move along the first direction, the second moving module 412 is connected to the third moving module 413 to drive the third moving module 413 to move along the second direction, and the third moving module 413 is connected to the second grasping element 42 to drive the second grasping element 42 to move along the vertical direction. Exemplarily, the first moving module 411 and the second moving module 412 are both linear modules, and the third moving module 413 adopts a cylinder.

[0035] When grabbing the object to be processed, first adjust the first moving module 411 and the second moving module 412 to move the second grabbing element 42 to the top of the material tray, and then the third moving module 413 drives the second grabbing element 42 to move downward, and at the same time, the first driving unit 422 drives the first grabbing part to implement the action of grabbing the object to be processed. After the grabbing is completed, the third moving module 413 drives the second grabbing part to move upward, so that the object to be processed is out of the material tray, and then the first moving module 411 and the second moving module 412 drive the second grabbing element 42 and the object to be processed to move along the first direction and the second direction, so that the second grabbing element 42 moves to the top of the flipping element 51, and the third moving module 413 drives the second grabbing element 42 to move downward, and at the same time, the first driving unit 422 drives the first grabbing part to open, and the object to be processed is placed vertically on the flipping element 51, thereby realizing the transplanting of the object to be processed.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, whether the first loading component 1, the fixing component 3, the flipping element 51 or the flattening element 52 are all in the form of a conveyor belt, forming an assembly line operation of the processing technology of the object to be processed.

[0037] Specifically, the first loading component 1 includes a first conveyor belt 11, and the first conveyor belt 11 is arranged along a first direction, and a first cache position 111 and a first grabbing position 112 are sequentially arranged on the first conveyor belt 11 along the conveying direction, the first cache position 111 is located upstream of the first grabbing position 112, and the first cache position 111 and the first grabbing position are both arranged with multiple layers of material trays in the vertical direction, and the first grabbing element 22 moves between above the first grabbing position 112 and above the fixed component 3.

[0038] Specifically, the first conveyor belt 11 conveys along a first direction, and multiple trays can be placed on the first conveyor belt 11 simultaneously along the first direction. The tray located at the farthest downstream is positioned at the first grabbing position 112 of the first conveyor belt 11, and the other trays located upstream are defined as being placed on the first cache position 111 of the first conveyor belt 11. Before grabbing the trays, multiple layers of trays are placed on the first cache position 111 and the first grabbing position, and the first grabbing element 22 transfers the trays on the first grabbing position 112 in turn. After the transfer of the trays on the first grabbing position 112 is completed, the first conveyor belt 11 conveys downstream to transfer the trays originally on the first cache position 111 to the first grabbing position 112.

[0039] A first lifting element 12 is provided below the first conveyor belt 11, and the first lifting element 12 is provided corresponding to the first grabbing position, and is used to lift the material tray on the first grabbing position 112. Specifically, the middle of the first conveyor belt 11 is hollowed out, and the first lifting element 12 includes a first lifting motor and a first push rod, and the first push rod is connected to the first lifting motor, and the first lifting motor drives the first push rod to move up and down, and the first push rod is supported below the material tray on the first grabbing position, and when the upper material tray is transplanted, the first lifting motor drives the first push rod to rise, thereby moving the lower material tray to a fixed grabbing height.

[0040] When the first moving element 21 drives the first grabbing element 22 to transplant the material tray, since the fixing component 3 and the first loading component 1 are arranged along the first direction, the first moving element 21 only needs to drive the first grabbing element 22 to move along the first direction, and at the same time, approach the material tray to be grabbed in the vertical direction during grabbing. To achieve the above-mentioned action process, the first moving element 21 includes a fourth moving module 211 and a fifth moving module 212. The fourth moving module 211 is connected to the fifth moving module 212 to drive the fifth moving module 212 to move along the first direction. The fifth moving module 212 is connected to the first grabbing element 22 to drive the first grabbing element 22 to move in the vertical direction. The first grabbing element 22 includes a suction cup assembly.

[0041] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the fourth moving module 211 adopts a linear module, the fifth moving module 212 adopts a cylinder, the fifth moving module 212 is connected to the fourth moving module 211, and is driven by the fourth moving module 211 to move linearly along the first direction. When the tray is transplanted, first, under the action of the fourth moving module 211, the fifth moving module 212 and the first grabbing element 22 are driven to move to the top of the first grabbing position 112, and the first grabbing element 22 is made close to the tray on the first grabbing position 112 by the action of the fifth moving module 212. The suction cup on the first grabbing element 22 grabs the tray by negative pressure adsorption, and the fifth moving module 212 drives the first grabbing element 22 to rise, and then, the fourth moving module 211 drives the fifth moving module 212 and the first grabbing element 22 to move to the top of the fixed component 3 along the first direction, and the fifth moving module 212 drives the first grabbing element 22 to descend, and the first grabbing element 22 releases the tray, thereby completing the transplantation of the tray.

[0042] The suction cup assembly includes a mounting plate and a suction cup disposed on the lower surface of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is connected to the lower end of the fifth movable module 212. A plurality of suction cups are disposed on the lower surface of the mounting plate to achieve adsorption of the material tray at different positions of the material tray, thereby improving the stability of the material tray grabbing process. The first grabbing element 22 adopts the suction cup assembly because the grabbing surface of the material tray is relatively large, and the suction cup assembly is convenient for operation. The second grabbing element 42 adopts the clamping claw 423 to grab the workpiece to be processed because the workpiece to be processed is in a vertical state, and the adsorption surface of the suction cup is too small, so the suction cup cannot be used to grab the workpiece to be processed, and it is more secure to adopt the clamping claw 423.

[0043] Combination Figure 6As shown, the flipping element 51 includes a second conveyor belt 511 and a plurality of limit blocks 512 arranged on the outer surface of the second conveyor belt 511, the second conveyor belt 511 includes a second pulley 5112 and a second belt 5111 arranged on the second pulley 5112, the plurality of limit blocks 512 are arranged on the outer surface of the second belt 5111 at intervals along the conveying direction of the second belt 5111, and a limit groove for fixing the object to be processed is formed between two adjacent limit blocks 512. After the first grasping element 22 grasps the object to be processed on the fixed component 3, it is transferred to the flip element 51, and the object to be processed is positioned by the limiting groove on the flip element 51. One object to be processed can be placed in each limiting groove. As the second belt 5111 is conveyed, when the object to be processed is conveyed to the end of the second conveyor belt 511, since the outer surface of the second pulley 5112 is an arc surface, the second conveyor belt 511 is also an arc surface at the end, so that the limiting block 512 is tilted when it is conveyed to the arc surface position of the second conveyor belt 511, until the limiting block 512 becomes horizontal, and then tilted downward and conveyed to the lower surface of the second conveyor belt 511. When the limiting block 512 becomes horizontal, the object to be processed in the limiting groove is flipped 90 degrees from the vertical state to the horizontal state, thereby realizing the flipping of the object to be processed.

[0044] The paving element 52 includes a third conveyor belt, which has the same conveying direction as the second conveyor belt 511 , and an upper surface of the third conveyor belt is flush with or lower than the axis of the second pulley 5112 .

[0045] Specifically, the second conveyor belt 511 and the third conveyor belt both convey along the first direction. When the object to be processed is conveyed to the position where the second conveyor belt 511 and the third conveyor belt are connected, it is flipped to a horizontal state. As the second conveyor belt 511 continues to convey, the object to be processed tilts downward and then falls onto the third conveyor belt. As the third conveyor belt conveys, one object to be processed after another is continuously laid flat on the third conveyor belt, waiting for the next process.

[0046] The upper surface of the third conveyor belt is set to be flush with or lower than the axis of the second pulley 5112 so that the objects to be processed on the second conveyor belt 511 can fall horizontally onto the third conveyor belt.

[0047] Furthermore, the material loading device for the object to be processed of the embodiment of the present application further includes a conveying component 6 and a fourth transfer component 7, wherein the conveying component 6 includes a fourth conveyor belt, and the fourth conveyor belt is located on one side of the flip component along the second direction. In some embodiments of the present application, the fourth conveyor belt and the fixing component 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the flip component 5. The fourth transfer component 7 includes a fourth moving element 71 and a fourth grabbing element 72, and the fourth moving element 71 is connected to the fourth grabbing element 72 to drive the fourth grabbing element 72 to move between the top of the paving element 52 and the top of the fourth conveyor belt, and the fourth grabbing element 72 is used to grab and release the object to be processed.

[0048] Exemplarily, in some embodiments of the present application, the fourth moving element 71 is similar in structure to the second moving element 41, including a sixth moving module 711, a seventh moving module 712, and an eighth moving module 713. The fourth grasping element 72 is moved in the first direction, the second direction, and the vertical direction by the cooperation of the sixth moving module 711, the seventh moving module 712, and the eighth moving module 713. Here, the specific structure of the fourth moving element 71 is not repeated. The fourth grasping element 72 uses a suction cup to grasp the object to be processed, because the object to be processed on the paving element 52 has been turned to a horizontal state, and the suction cup is used to grasp the object to be processed for easy operation.

[0049] When the workpiece is transplanted for the second time, the fourth moving element 71 first drives the fourth grabbing element 72 to move to the top of the flattening element 52, and the workpiece spread on the fourth conveyor belt is grabbed by the fourth grabbing element 72, and then driven by the fourth moving element 71 to move to the top of the fourth conveyor belt. A carrier is provided on the fourth conveyor belt, and the workpiece is placed on the carrier accordingly to facilitate the operation of the next process.

[0050] Specifically, a plurality of positioning grooves are provided on the carrier, and the objects to be processed are placed in respective positioning grooves accordingly. The positioning grooves penetrate the carrier in the thickness direction so as to facilitate operation on the objects to be processed under the carrier.

[0051] Furthermore, in order to realize the loading of the carrier, the automatic loading equipment of the embodiment of the present application also includes a second loading component 8 and a third transplanting component 9. The second loading component 8 is arranged on one side of the conveying component 6. The third transplanting component 9 includes a third moving element 91 and a third grabbing element 92. The third moving element 91 is connected to the third grabbing element 92 to drive the third grabbing element 92 to move between the upper part of the second loading component 8 and the upper part of the third conveyor belt. The structure of the second loading component 8 is similar to that of the first loading component 1. The sixth conveyor belt 81 is adopted. The second loading component 8 also includes a second lifting element 82 with a similar structure to the first lifting element, which is used to move the second loading component 8 upward so that the third transplanting component 9 can grab the carrier.

[0052] The third moving element 91 can realize movement in the first direction, the second direction and the vertical direction, or can only move in the first direction and the vertical direction, or only move in the second direction and the vertical direction. This is related to the relative positions of the second loading component 8 and the fourth conveyor belt. Specifically, it can be set according to actual layout requirements, and will not be described in detail in this article.

[0053] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the second loading assembly 8 is located on one side of the fourth conveyor belt along the second direction, and the third moving element 91 only drives the third grabbing element 92 to move in the second direction and the vertical direction, so as to realize the grabbing and releasing of the carrier, and then realize the transplanting of the carrier. After the upper layer of the carrier is transplanted, the second lifting element 82 drives the carrier to lift up, and lifts the lower layer of the carrier to a working position that is convenient for the third grabbing element 92 to complete the grabbing.

[0054] The third grasping element 92 includes two clamping arms arranged opposite to each other along the second direction. The two clamping arms are driven by the cylinder to move closer to or farther from each other, thereby achieving grasping and releasing of the carrier.

[0055] Furthermore, the automatic loading equipment provided in some embodiments of the present application also includes a material unloading component 10, which includes a fifth conveyor belt, and the fifth conveyor belt is located below the fixed component 3. The fifth conveyor belt has the same conveying direction as the first conveyor belt, and the fixed component 3 includes a plurality of first positioning cylinders 31 and second positioning cylinders 32 arranged on the fifth conveyor belt, and the plurality of first positioning cylinders 31 and second positioning cylinders 32 jointly define the positioning space of the material tray, wherein the first positioning cylinders 31 located on the left and right sides of the fifth conveyor belt and the first positioning cylinder 31 located behind the material tray are both arranged toward the center of the positioning space, and when the material tray is positioned, the piston rod of each first positioning cylinder 31 is extended to abut against the material tray to prevent the material tray from being offset. The second positioning cylinder 32 located in front of the material tray is arranged downward, and when the material tray is placed in the positioning space, the piston rod of the second positioning cylinder 32 located in front of the material tray is extended to stop the material tray to prevent the material tray from being conveyed forward with the fifth conveyor belt. When all the objects to be processed on the tray are transferred, the piston rod of the second positioning cylinder 32 located in front of the tray is shortened to allow the tray to pass through, and the first positioning cylinders 31 in all directions are shortened to release the positioning of the tray, and the tray is transported forward with the fifth conveyor belt to achieve unloading.
