[0037] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, a multi-functional workbench tray inlet and outlet structure includes: a base 100, a tray seat 200, and a storage plate 300.

[0038] Among them, the base 100 has a feed channel 110 and a discharge channel 120. One end of the feed channel 110 is communicated with the outside, the other end of the feed channel 110 is communicated with one end of the discharge channel 120, and the other end of the discharge channel 120 is communicated with the outside.

[0039] Among them, the tray seat 200 is provided with traveling wheels 210. The tray seat 200 can walk on the ground through the traveling wheels 210 and enter the feed channel 110 or leave the discharge channel 120.

[0040] Among them, the storage plate 300 is movably connected to the base 100. The storage plate 300 can move to a first position to block the discharge channel 120, or move to a second position to expose the discharge channel 120.

[0041] It is worth noting here that the movement mode of the storage plate 300 is not specifically limited. The movement mode of the storage plate 300 can be rotation, or it can be translation, or it can be folding, or it can be a combination of multiple movement modes.

[0042] In this embodiment, the storage plate 300 can move to the first position to block the discharge channel 120, thereby adjusting the multi-functional workbench tray inlet and outlet structure to a buffer state, or move to the second position to expose the discharge channel 120, thereby adjusting the multi-functional workbench tray inlet and outlet structure to a discharge state. It can both form a buffer space for transporting the trays carried by the tray seat 200 and form a discharge channel 120 when the tray seat 200 carrying the trays exits.

[0043] As Figures 1 - 5As shown, on the basis of the above-described embodiment, a rotating shaft 310 is provided at one end of the storage plate 300, and the storage plate 300 is rotatably connected to the base 100 through the rotating shaft 310.

[0044] In this embodiment, the storage plate 300 is rotatably connected to the base 100 through the rotating shaft 310. Therefore, the storage plate 300 can block or expose the discharge channel 120 by rotating, realizing the switching between the buffer state and the discharge state of the multi-functional workbench tray inlet and outlet structure.

[0045] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, on the basis of the above-described embodiment, a storage driving assembly is further included. The storage driving assembly is connected to the base 100, the rotating shaft 310 is connected to the storage driving assembly, and the storage driving assembly can drive the rotating shaft 310 to rotate.

[0046] Specifically, as one of the embodiments, the storage driving assembly includes a linkage block 410 and a storage driving element 420. One end of the linkage block 410 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 310, the other end of the linkage block 410 is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the storage driving element 420, the storage driving element 420 is rotatably connected to the base 100, and the storage driving element 420 can drive the output shaft of itself to extend and retract.

[0047] Among them, when the storage driving element 420 drives the output shaft of itself to extend, it drives the linkage block 410 to rotate and makes the storage tray rotate from the first position to the second position, thereby exposing the discharge channel 120; when the storage driving element 420 drives the output shaft of itself to shorten, it drives the linkage block 410 to rotate and makes the storage tray rotate from the second position to the first position, thereby blocking the discharge channel 120.

[0048] In this embodiment, the storage driving element 420 drives the output shaft of itself to extend and retract to make the storage driving element 420 rotate relative to the base 100, and at the same time drives the linkage block 410 to rotate relative to the base 100 to block or expose the discharge channel 120, realizing the switching between the buffer state and the discharge state of the multi-functional workbench tray inlet and outlet structure.

[0049] Specifically, as another embodiment, the storage driving assembly can be directly set as a motor, or a motor with a reducer. At this time, the storage driving assembly can directly drive the rotating shaft 310 to rotate.

[0050] As Figures 1 - 5As shown, on the basis of the above-described embodiment, one end of the storage plate 300 close to the rotating shaft 310 is located on one side of the discharge channel 120, and the end of the storage plate 300 away from the rotating shaft 310 can contact the other side of the discharge channel 120.

[0051] In this embodiment, one end of the storage plate 300 close to the rotating shaft 310 is located on one side of the discharge channel 120 and the end of the storage plate 300 away from the rotating shaft 310 can contact the other side of the discharge channel 120, so that both sides of the storage tray can remain stable relative to the base 100 when the multi-functional workbench tray feeding and discharging structure is in the buffer state.

[0052] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, on the basis of the above-described embodiment, the base 100 is provided with a height adjusting device 130, and the storage plate 300 contacts the base 100 through the height adjusting device 130.

[0053] In this embodiment, the height adjusting device 130 can be a bolt. By opening a threaded hole in the base 100 and adjusting the position of the bolt relative to the base 100 to adapt to the position where the storage plate 300 contacts the base 100 through the bolt; or it can be an adjusting rod provided with a plurality of adjusting holes. By passing a fixing pin through the base 100 and adjusting the position of the adjusting rod relative to the base 100 to adapt to the position where the storage plate 300 contacts the base 100 through the bolt.

[0054] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, on the basis of the above-described embodiment, it further includes a first positioning component. The tray seat 200 is provided with a first positioning portion 220. The first positioning component includes a first positioning driving element 510 and a second positioning portion 520. The first positioning driving element 510 is connected to the storage plate 300. When the second positioning portion 520 aligns with the first positioning portion 220, the first positioning driving element 510 can drive the second positioning portion 520 to position the first positioning portion 220.

[0055] In the prior art, since the position where the forklift stops beside the workbench needs to be judged manually, there are certain requirements for the position where the forklift is parked manually, and the position of each parking is often different. Therefore, the robotic arm may not be able to accurately carry the tray when carrying the tray.

[0056] It should be noted here that the first positioning portion 220 can be a positioning fork and the second positioning portion 520 can be a positioning post. The positioning fork can fork the positioning post to realize the connection between the two; or the first positioning portion 220 can be a positioning groove and the second positioning portion 520 can be a positioning strip. The positioning strip can be inserted into the positioning groove to realize the connection between the two.

[0057] In this embodiment, the tray seat 200 carrying the tray can be directly pushed into the feeding channel 110 to align the second positioning portion 520 with the first positioning portion 220. At this time, the first positioning driving element 510 can drive the second positioning portion 520 to connect with the first positioning portion 220, thereby locking the position of the tray seat 200 relative to the storage plate 300, so as to ensure that the tray seat 200 is always located at a fixed position when a device such as a robotic arm transports the tray.

[0058] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, a second positioning assembly is further included. The tray seat 200 is provided with a third positioning portion 230. The second positioning assembly includes a second positioning driving element 610 and a fourth positioning portion 620. The second positioning driving element 610 is connected to the base 100 and is disposed on the side of the feeding channel 110. When the tray seat 200 is located in the discharging channel 120 and the fourth positioning portion 620 is aligned with the third positioning portion 230, the second positioning driving element 610 can drive the fourth positioning portion 620 to position the third positioning portion 230.

[0059] In the prior art, since the position where the forklift stops beside the workbench needs to be judged manually, there are certain requirements for the position where the forklift is parked manually, and the position where it stops each time is often different. Therefore, when the robotic arm transports the tray, it may not be able to accurately transport the tray.

[0060] It should be noted here that the third positioning portion 230 can be a positioning fork and the fourth positioning portion 620 can be a positioning post. The positioning fork can fork the positioning post to realize the connection between the two; or the third positioning portion 230 can be a positioning groove and the fourth positioning portion 620 can be a positioning strip. The positioning strip can be inserted into the positioning groove to realize the connection between the two.

[0061] In this embodiment, the tray seat 200 carrying the tray can be directly pushed into the feeding channel 110 to align the fourth positioning portion 620 with the third positioning portion 230. At this time, the second positioning driving element 610 can drive the fourth positioning portion 620 to connect with the third positioning portion 230, thereby locking the position of the tray seat 200 relative to the base 100, so as to ensure that the tray seat 200 is always located at a fixed position when a device such as a robotic arm transports the tray.

[0062] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, rollers 700 for guiding the movement of the tray seat 200 are provided on both sides of the feeding channel 110 and / or the discharging channel 120, and the tray seat 200 can be in contact with the rollers 700.

[0063] In this embodiment, both sides of the tray seat 200 can be in contact with the rollers 700 located on both sides of the feeding channel 110 or the discharging channel 120, so that the rollers 700 can guide the movement of the tray seat 200, converting the original sliding friction between the tray seat 200 and both sides of the feeding channel 110 or the discharging channel 120 into rolling friction, and reducing the wear of the equipment.

[0064] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, a sliding door 800 is further included. The sliding door 800 is movably connected to the base 100 and can slide to cover or expose the feeding channel 110, or the sliding door 800 is movably connected to the base 100 and can slide to cover or expose the discharging channel 120.

[0065] In this embodiment, the usual rotating door is improved to a sliding door 800, so that when changing the opening and closing state of the feeding channel 110 or the discharging channel 120, it is not limited by the influence of the external space.
