Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gluing equipment, and in particular to a feeding device and a feeding method for a docking gluing equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of electronic products, a gluing equipment is usually used to coat a three-proof glue (which can also be called a protective glue, a three-proof paint, etc.) on electronic products such as PCB boards or electronic components to avoid the influence of environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and corrosion on the electronic products, thereby playing a role in protecting the electronic products.

[0003] Currently, during the working process of the gluing equipment, manual labor is usually used to feed the gluing equipment. Since only a small amount of unglued electronic products can be cached in the gluing equipment, it is necessary for the staff to always stay at the feeding port of the gluing equipment to feed the electronic products into the gluing equipment. Thus, it leads to a waste of manpower.

[0004] In view of this, how to feed the gluing equipment to avoid waste of manpower is a technical problem to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the related art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a feeding device and a feeding method for a docking gluing equipment, so as to overcome the problem of how to feed the gluing equipment to avoid waste of manpower existing in the above-mentioned related art.

[0006] To achieve the above object and other related objects, the first aspect of the present application provides a feeding device for a docking gluing equipment, including: a main structure, which is internally provided with a temporary storage area, a docking area, and a transfer area adjacent to the temporary storage area and the docking area, and the main structure has a docking port communicating with the docking area for docking the gluing equipment; a feeding component, arranged in the docking area, for conveying a carrier carrying materials received to the docking port so that the carrier at the docking port is delivered to the gluing equipment in a horizontal posture; a temporary storage component, arranged in the temporary storage area, including a plurality of temporary storage positions for carrying the carrier; a transfer component, arranged in the transfer area, for docking one of the temporary storage positions to transport the carrier carried by it to the feeding component.

[0007] The second aspect of the present application provides a feeding method for the feeding device as described in the first aspect of the present application, including the following steps: when it is detected that a plurality of temporary storage positions of the temporary storage component have carriers carrying materials, controlling the transfer component to dock one of the temporary storage positions and controlling it to transport the carrier carried by it to the feeding component; when it is detected that the feeding component receives the carrier, controlling the feeding component to convey the carrier to the docking port for docking the gluing equipment to feed the gluing equipment through the docking port.

[0008] In summary, the feeding device and feeding method for the docking gluing equipment provided by the present application are provided with a temporary storage area, a transfer area, and a docking area in the main structure of the feeding device. A plurality of temporary storage positions in the temporary storage assembly provided in the temporary storage area can be used to carry carriers. The transfer assembly provided in the transfer area can dock with one of the temporary storage positions to transport the carrier carried thereon to the feeding assembly located in the docking area, so that the feeding assembly can transport the carrier carrying the material to the docking port, enabling the carrier on the docking port to be delivered to the gluing equipment in a horizontal posture. In this way, the staff only needs to centrally feed a plurality of carriers carrying materials into the temporary storage assembly, and then through the cooperation of the transfer assembly and the feeding assembly, automatic feeding of the gluing equipment can be achieved, without the need for the staff to always stay at the feeding port of the gluing equipment, saving manpower.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments and the achieved technical effects obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application. The phrase "an embodiment", "the embodiment" or similar expressions mentioned throughout this specification mean that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment are included in at least one embodiment of the present application. Therefore, the appearance of the phrases "in one embodiment", "in the embodiment" and similar expressions throughout this specification may (but not necessarily) refer to the same embodiment.

[0028] As described in the background art, how to load a glue application device to avoid waste of manpower is a technical problem to be solved urgently. In view of this, the present application proposes a loading device and a loading method for docking a glue application device. A temporary storage area, a transfer area, and a docking area are provided in the main structure of the loading device. A plurality of temporary storage positions in the temporary storage assembly provided in the temporary storage area can be used to carry carriers. The transfer assembly provided in the transfer area can dock with one of the temporary storage positions to transport the carrier carried thereon to the loading assembly located in the docking area, so that the loading assembly can transport the carrier carrying the material to the docking port so that the carrier on the docking port is delivered to the glue application device in a horizontal posture. In this way, the staff only needs to centrally load a plurality of carriers carrying materials into the temporary storage assembly, and then through the cooperation of the transfer assembly and the loading assembly, automatic loading of the glue application device can be achieved, without the staff having to stay at the loading port of the glue application device all the time, saving manpower.

[0029] The glue - coating equipment described in this application is used to apply three - proof glue (also known as protective glue, three - proof paint, etc.) to materials. Among them, examples of the materials include electronic products such as PCB boards or electronic components that need to be coated with three - proof glue. In one example, the glue - coating equipment is a single - sided glue - coating equipment, that is, when the glue - coating equipment applies three - proof glue to the material (abbreviated as glue - coating), it can coat one surface of the material each time. In an embodiment where both surfaces of the material need to be coated with glue, after the glue - coating equipment finishes coating one surface of the material, it is necessary to take out the material that has been coated on one surface from the discharge port of the glue - coating equipment and re - load it into the glue - coating equipment so that the glue - coating equipment can coat the other surface of the material. In other examples, the glue - coating equipment can also be a double - sided glue - coating equipment that can simultaneously apply three - proof glue to both surfaces of the material. In the following embodiments, the single - sided glue - coating equipment is taken as an example for illustration.

[0030] The materials described in this application are carried on a carrier. Carrying the materials by the carrier can prevent the materials from moving or tilting during the loading or glue - coating process to ensure the glue - coating quality. In one embodiment, the carrier is, for example, a tooling board, and multiple (two or more) loading positions are provided on the tooling board to place multiple materials. Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic structural view of the carrier carrying materials in an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, the carrier 1 includes 4 loading positions 10 for carrying materials 2, and 4 openings are correspondingly provided on the carrier 1. Each loading position 10 is formed by a carrying portion 100 located at the edge of the opening in the carrier 1 and a pressing portion 101 located at the edge of the opening corresponding to the carrying portion 100. The pressing portion 101 clamps the material 2 in the loading position 10 through the joint action with the so - called carrying portion 100. In this way, by clamping the material 2 in the loading position 10, it is possible to directly flip the carrier without removing the material from the loading position 10, so as to realize the flipping of the material 2. Furthermore, after one surface of the material 2 is coated with glue, the carrier is directly flipped to place the material 2 with its other surface facing up into the loading device of the docking glue - coating equipment, so that the loading device can deliver the material 2 with its other surface facing up to the glue - coating equipment. Among them, the opening can be configured as Figure 1 the shown rectangle (square, rectangle, etc.), or can also be configured in other shapes, as long as it matches the shape of the material 2 to be able to place the material 2. The carrying portion 100 is arranged at the edge or corner of the opening. For example, Figure 1As shown, the opening is configured as a rectangle, and one bearing part 100 is provided at each of the four corner positions thereof. The pressing part 101 is rotatably arranged on the outer periphery of the opening and is correspondingly arranged with respect to the bearing part 100. When the material 2 is placed on the bearing part 100, the pressing part 101 can be rotated to be located above the material 2 to limit the departure of the material 2. When it is necessary to unload the material 2, the pressing part 101 can be rotated away from the material 2, so that the material 2 can be taken off.

[0031] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the number and structure of the loading positions of the carrier. Those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments to the number and structure of the loading positions under the guidance of the present application, as long as the material can be carried. For example, the number of loading positions in the carrier can be 1, 2, 3, or more than 4. Again, the loading position can also be the bearing part including the opening of the carrier and its edge or corner. Also, the loading position can only include the opening of the carrier, and the opening can be slightly smaller than the material so that the material can be directly supported on the opening, or further include a locking structure or a magnetic adsorption structure around the opening for positioning the material.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 2 which shows a schematic diagram of the state of the feeding device docked with the gluing equipment in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the feeding device in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 which shows the present application Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the feeding device shown in a perspective view after removing part of the housing structure. As shown in the figure, the feeding device 3 for docking the gluing equipment includes a main body structure 30, a temporary storage component 31, a transfer component 32, and a feeding component 33. A temporary storage area 301, a transfer area 302, and a docking area 303 are provided in the main body structure 30. The transfer area 302 is adjacent to the temporary storage area 301 and the docking area 303, and the main body structure 30 has a docking port 304 communicating with the docking area 303 for docking the gluing equipment 4. The feeding component 33 is arranged in the docking area 303 and is used to convey the carrier carrying the material received to the docking port 300 so that the carrier on the docking port 300 is delivered to the gluing equipment 4 in a horizontal posture. The temporary storage component 31 is arranged in the temporary storage area 301 and includes a plurality of temporary storage positions for carrying the carrier. The transfer component 32 is arranged in the transfer area 302 and is used to dock with one of the temporary storage positions to transport the carrier carried by it to the feeding component 33.

[0033] In order to clearly illustrate the relative positions of the components in the feeding device for docking the gluing equipment in the embodiment of the present application, in Figures 2 to 4Six directions, up, down, front, back, left, and right, are defined in , among which the up and down direction can also be called the first direction, the left and right direction can also be called the second direction, and the front and back direction can also be called the third direction.

[0034] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the main structure 30 is provided with a temporary storage area 301, a transfer area 302, and a docking area 303. The temporary storage area 301, the transfer area 302, and the docking area 303 may be three different spatial areas in the main structure 30, and some areas may overlap. The transfer area 302 is adjacent to the temporary storage area 301 and the docking area 303. Specifically, the transfer area 302 is adjacent to both the temporary storage area 301 and the docking area 303. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the temporary storage area 301, the transfer area 302, and the docking area 303 are sequentially arranged along the second direction of the main structure 30. It should be noted that the present application does not limit the arrangement mode and direction of the temporary storage area, the transfer area, and the docking area, as long as it can be ensured that the transfer area is adjacent to both the temporary storage area and the docking area. For example, the temporary storage area and the transfer area can be arranged along the third direction of the main structure, and the docking area and the transfer area are arranged along the second direction of the main structure.

[0035] See also Figure 4 Combined with Figure 2 The main structure 30 has a docking port 304 connected to the docking area 303, and the docking port 304 is used to dock the glue coating device 4. In one embodiment, the size of the docking port 304 is larger than the size of the carrier, so as to allow the carrier to be delivered from the docking port 304 to the glue coating device 4. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the docking port 304 is configured as an opening on the right side of the main structure 30, the size of the opening in the front-to-rear direction of the main structure 30 (i.e., the width of the opening) is larger than the width of the carrier, and the size of the opening in the upper and lower directions of the main structure 30 (i.e., the height of the opening) is larger than the height occupied by the carrier and the materials carried thereon.

[0036] See also Figure 5 , shown as this application Figure 3 The loading device shown is a schematic structural diagram from another perspective after removing part of the shell structure. As shown in the figure, the main structure 30 also has a placement port 305 connected to the temporary storage area 301 for placing the carrier. The size of the placement port 305 is adapted to the overall size of the multiple temporary storage positions to allow the carrier to be placed in the temporary storage position through the placement port 305.

[0037] In one embodiment, if Figure 4As shown, the main body structure 30 includes a main body frame 306 and a housing structure 307 disposed on the main body frame 306. In one example, as Figure 5 shown, the placement opening 305 is configured as an open area in the main body frame 306 that communicates with the temporary storage area 301. In some examples, the docking interface 304 is configured as an opening formed in the housing structure 307, and this opening communicates with the docking area 303. Further, please refer to Figure 2 and combine with Figure 5 , as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the housing structure 307 may further include a switchable first door structure 3070 corresponding to the temporary storage area 301 and a switchable second door structure 3071 corresponding to the transfer area 302. The first door structure 3070 is used to close or open the placement opening 305. Further, in one embodiment, a switch detection mechanism is provided on the first door structure and / or the second door structure to detect the state of the corresponding door structure. Among them, the switch detection mechanism is exemplified by a photoelectric sensor or a door magnet, etc.

[0038] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the temporary storage assembly 31 is disposed in the temporary storage area 301. The temporary storage assembly 31 includes a plurality of (also referred to as multiple layers) temporary storage positions 310 for carrying the carrier 1. In one example, the plurality of temporary storage positions 310 are configured to be stacked in layers in a single column or multiple columns in a first direction. For example, as Figure 5 shown, the plurality of temporary storage positions 310 are configured to be stacked in layers in a single column in a first direction. In another example, the plurality of temporary storage positions 310 are configured to be stacked in layers in multiple columns in a first direction, that is, the plurality of temporary storage positions can be divided into multiple columns (the multiple columns can be configured as multiple columns arranged along a second direction or multiple columns arranged along a third direction), and each of the temporary storage positions included in each column is stacked in layers in a first direction.

[0039] Among them, the plurality of temporary storage positions being stacked in layers in a first direction means that the plurality of temporary storage positions are stacked and arranged in such a way that there is a layer spacing between every two adjacent temporary storage positions in the first direction. In one embodiment, the layer spacing between the plurality of temporary storage positions can be configured to be the same or different. In the following embodiments, the case where the layer spacing between the plurality of temporary storage positions is configured to be the same is taken as an example for illustration.

[0040] In some embodiments, the adjacent two layers of temporary storage positions 310 on each column are connected to allow the vehicle to be placed by combining positions when the layer spacing is not sufficient to accommodate the vehicle and the materials carried thereon. In some examples, when the layer spacing is less than the height occupied by the vehicle and the materials carried thereon, or when the layer spacing is not less than the height but is close to the height, it can be considered that the layer spacing is not sufficient to accommodate the vehicle and the materials carried thereon. Among them, the layer spacing being close to the height means that the difference between the layer spacing and the height occupied by the vehicle and the materials carried thereon is within a threshold value, and the threshold value is exemplified as 5 - 15 mm. The combination of positions of multiple (two or more) adjacent temporary storage positions means that only one of the multiple temporary storage positions (for example, any one of the lowest, middle, or highest can be arbitrarily selected) is used as the combined temporary storage position where the vehicle can be placed, so that the layer spacing between the combined temporary storage positions can allow the accommodation of the vehicle and the materials carried thereon. For example, the layer spacing after combining adjacent two layers of temporary storage positions with a layer spacing of d is 2d, so that a higher vehicle (including the height of the materials carried thereon) can be placed. It should be understood that the above embodiments are described by taking the combination of positions without structural adjustment of multiple layers of temporary storage positions as an example. In other examples, the staff can also perform adaptive structural adjustment (such as removing some temporary storage positions) on multiple layers of temporary storage positions to perform the combination of positions, and this application does not limit this.

[0041] In some embodiments, the layer spacing is set to 50 mm to 60 mm. For example, the layer spacing is set to 50 mm, 51 mm, 52 mm, 53 mm, 54 mm, 55 mm, 56 mm, 57 mm, 58 mm, 59 mm, or 60 mm. Further, in this embodiment, the number of layers can be set to 25 layers, so that the height of the feeding device can be within a reasonable range, which is convenient for layout and placement. Taking the layer spacing set to 55 mm and the height occupied by the vehicle and the materials carried thereon set to not more than 45 mm (i.e., less than or equal to 45 mm) as an example, one vehicle can be placed on each layer of temporary storage positions. Taking the layer spacing set to 55 mm and the height occupied by the vehicle and the materials carried thereon set to be greater than 45 mm and less than 100 mm as an example, the adjacent two layers of temporary storage positions can be combined in area to place one vehicle. For example, the vehicle can be placed on the lower temporary storage position in every two adjacent layers of temporary storage positions. Taking the layer spacing set to 55 mm and the height occupied by the vehicle and the materials carried thereon set to be 100 mm or more (i.e., greater than or equal to 100 mm) as an example, the adjacent three layers of temporary storage positions can be combined in area to place one vehicle.

[0042] In one embodiment, the temporary storage assembly includes a main body support portion and multiple groups of bearing portions. Please refer to Figure 6 , shown in this application Figure 3Schematic diagram of the structure of the temporary storage component of the loading device shown without a carrier. As shown in the figure, the main body support part includes at least two sets of support members 311 connected to the main body structure 30 in the first direction and arranged opposite to each other. A plurality of bearing parts 312 are fixedly arranged on the support members 311 at intervals in the first direction to form the plurality of temporary storage positions 310.

[0043] Please refer to again Figure 6 and in combination with Figure 5 , as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the temporary storage positions 310 are configured to be stacked in a single column in the first direction. Then, the main body support part includes two sets of support members 311 connected to the main body structure 30 in the first direction and arranged opposite to each other. Specifically, each support 311 is connected to the main body structure 30 in the first direction, and two support members 311 arranged in the left-right direction form a set. Further, the two sets of support members are arranged opposite to each other in the front-back direction. In other embodiments, the temporary storage positions are configured to be stacked in multiple columns in the first direction. Then, the main body support part includes two or more sets of support members connected to the main body structure in the first direction and arranged opposite to each other. Taking the configuration of two columns of temporary storage positions as an example, the main body support part includes three sets of support members connected to the main body structure in the first direction and arranged opposite to each other. In the following embodiments, for the convenience of description, the main body support part is described by taking two sets of support members as an example, and a set of support members close to the rear side of the loading device is called the first set of support members, and a set of support members close to the front side of the loading device is called the second set of support members.

[0044] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 and in combination with Figure 5 , a plurality of bearing parts 312 are fixedly arranged on the support members 311 at intervals in the first direction to form the plurality of temporary storage positions 310. Each set of bearing parts 312 includes a first bearing member 3121 and a second bearing member 3122. The first bearing member 3121 straddles the first set of support members, and the second bearing member 3122 straddles the second set of support members. The first bearing member 3121 and the second bearing member 3122 cooperate with each other to form the temporary storage position 310 for carrying the carrier 1. In one example, the first bearing member 3121 and the second bearing member 3122 can extend in the second direction and be parallel to each other as Figure 6 shown. In other examples, the first bearing member can also straddle one support member of the first set of support members and one support member of the second set of support members. Similarly, the second bearing member can also straddle another support member of the first set of support members and another support member of the second set of support members. For example, the first bearing member straddles the left support members of the first set of support members and the second set of support members, and the second bearing member straddles the right support members of the first set of support members and the second set of support members.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first carrier 3121 and the second carrier 3122 both have a bearing surface for bearing the carrier 1, and the bearing surfaces of the two are not connected to each other so that the temporary storage position 310 formed by the first carrier 3121 and the second carrier 3122 is connected in the first direction. Figure 7 Combined with Figure 6 , Figure 7 Show this application Figure 6 A partial enlarged view of the feeding device at F is shown in the figure, as shown in the figure, the second bearing member 3122 has a bearing surface 31220 extending along the second direction. The bearing surface on the first bearing member is the same or similar to the bearing surface 31220 on the second bearing member, and will not be repeated here.

[0046] In one embodiment, the first carrier and the second carrier are provided with a groove structure adapted to the carrier at one end facing the placement opening, so that the carrier can be inserted and placed in the temporary storage position. The groove structure is described by taking the second carrier as an example. Please continue to refer to Figure 7 Combined with Figure 6 , the groove structure 31221 on the second bearing member 3122 is configured as an overall L-shaped member extending along the second direction, and the surface of the overall L-shaped member parallel to the second direction is the bearing surface 31220. The groove structure on the first bearing member is the same or similar to the groove structure on the second bearing member, and will not be repeated here.

[0047] In order to prevent the placement of the carrier beyond the temporary storage position and the occurrence of over-placement, the first carrier and the second carrier are provided with a limit portion at one end away from the placement opening to limit the position of the carrier. The limit portion is described using the second carrier as an example. Figure 7 Combined with Figure 6 ,like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a limiting portion 31222 is provided at one end of the second carrier 3122 away from the placement opening 305. The limiting portion 31222 can be configured as follows Figure 7 The convex block shown may also be configured with a blocking piece or other structure. The present application does not limit the structure of the position-limiting portion 31222, as long as it can stop the carrier to limit the position of the carrier. The position-limiting portion on the first carrier is the same or similar to the position-limiting portion on the second carrier, and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] In one embodiment, an anti-collision protection structure (not shown) is provided on the first carrier and / or the second carrier. By providing the anti-collision protection structure, it is possible to avoid damaging the materials or carriers carried on the first carrier and the second carrier. Among them, the anti-collision protection structure is made of a flexible material, and examples of the flexible material include silicone, rubber, or thermoplastic polyurethane. In one example, the anti-collision protection structure is provided on the groove structure and / or the limiting portion. Further, the anti-collision protection structure can be configured as a silicone strip. It should be noted that the anti-collision protection structure can also serve as the groove structure at the same time. For example, the anti-collision protection structure is configured as a flexible member having an overall L shape.

[0049] In one embodiment, the temporary storage assembly further includes a vacant position detection mechanism corresponding to the temporary storage position for detecting whether the temporary storage position is vacant. Specifically, the number of vacant position detection mechanisms included in the temporary storage assembly is equal to the number of temporary storage positions, that is, a vacant position detection mechanism is provided corresponding to each temporary storage position in the temporary storage assembly. In one example, please refer to Figure 7 and combine with Figure 6 , such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the vacant position detection mechanism includes a second microswitch 313 disposed on the second carrier 3122 and a first microswitch (not shown) disposed on the first carrier 3121. Further, when a carrier is placed in a temporary storage position 310, the first microswitch and / or the second microswitch 313 will be triggered so that the loading device determines that the temporary storage position 310 is not vacant (that is, there is a carrier on the temporary storage position 310). When neither the first microswitch nor the second microswitch 313 corresponding to a temporary storage position 310 is triggered, the loading device determines that the temporary storage position is vacant (that is, there is no carrier on the temporary storage position 310). Further, in this embodiment, avoidance spaces are respectively provided on the first carrier and the second carrier to allow the transmission elements of the microswitches to be disposed on the bearing surfaces of the first carrier and the second carrier. Although the above embodiment is described by taking the vacant position detection mechanism including the first microswitch disposed on the first carrier and the second microswitch disposed on the second carrier as an example, it is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, the vacant position detection mechanism may only include a microswitch disposed on the first carrier or only include a microswitch disposed on the second carrier; in some other embodiments, the vacant position detection mechanism may also be a vacant position detection mechanism that uses light for detection. For example, the vacant position detection mechanism includes a photoelectric sensor disposed on the first carrier and / or the second carrier.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the temporary storage component 31 further includes an alignment detection mechanism 314 disposed in the temporary storage area 301. The alignment detection mechanism 314 is used to detect whether the carriers carried by each temporary storage position are aligned, so as to avoid the uneven placement positions of the carriers, which is not convenient for the transfer component to transfer. In an example, the alignment detection mechanism is based on light, and it can be a reflective alignment detection mechanism or a transmissive alignment detection mechanism. Taking the alignment detection mechanism as a transmissive alignment detection mechanism as an example for description, please refer to Figure 4 and in combination with Figure 5 , the alignment detection mechanism 314 includes a first sensor 3141 and a second sensor 3142 that are oppositely arranged in the first direction at the right end of the temporary storage position 310. The first sensor 3141 is arranged on the upper side of a plurality of temporary storage positions 310. For example, Figure 4 as shown, the first sensor 3141 is arranged on the top of the main body structure 30, and the second sensor 3142 is arranged on the lower side of a plurality of temporary storage positions 310. For example, Figure 4 as shown, the second sensor 3142 is arranged on the bottom of the main body structure 30. One of the first sensor 3141 and the second sensor 3142 is configured as a light emitter and the other is configured as a light receiver. When the light emitted by the light emitter is received by the light receiver, the feeding device can determine that the carriers carried by each temporary storage position are aligned. When the light emitted by the light emitter is blocked by the carrier, resulting in the light receiver not receiving the light emitted by the light emitter, the feeding device can determine that the carriers carried by each temporary storage position are not aligned. It should be noted that although in the above embodiment, the first sensor and the second sensor are oppositely arranged in the first direction as an example, in other embodiments, when the alignment detection mechanism is a reflective alignment detection mechanism, the first sensor and the second sensor can also be simultaneously arranged on the upper side or the lower side of a plurality of temporary storage positions.

[0051] It should be noted that although the above embodiment is described by taking the temporary storage component including multiple groups of bearing parts and a main body support part as an example, the structure of the temporary storage component in the present application is not limited as long as it can include a plurality of temporary storage positions for carrying the carrier. In some other embodiments, when it is not necessary to ensure that adjacent two layers of temporary storage positions are connected, the temporary storage component can also include the main body support part and a plurality of bearing platforms that are sequentially spaced in the first direction and fixed on the support member to form the plurality of temporary storage positions. In some other embodiments, the temporary storage component can also only include multiple groups of bearing parts or a plurality of bearing platforms, and the multiple groups of bearing parts or the plurality of bearing platforms can be directly arranged on the main body structure.

[0052] The transfer assembly is disposed in the transfer area and is used to dock with one of the temporary storage positions to transport the vehicle carried thereby to the loading assembly. Specifically, after aligning with a temporary storage position and obtaining the vehicle carried by the temporary storage position, the transfer assembly can transport the vehicle carried thereby to the loading assembly.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 8 and in conjunction with Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 8 which shows a schematic structural view of the transfer assembly in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the transfer assembly 32 includes a transfer mechanism 320 and an acquisition mechanism 321. The transfer mechanism 320 drives the acquisition mechanism 321 to move in at least two directions to acquire the vehicle 1 from the temporary storage position 310 and unload / transport the vehicle 1 onto the loading assembly 33. Specifically, the transfer mechanism 320 driving the acquisition mechanism 321 to move in at least two directions can enable the acquisition mechanism 321 to be located at different positions to acquire the vehicle 1 from the temporary storage position 310 and unload the vehicle 1 onto the loading assembly 33. In one example, for instance, the temporary storage area 301, the transfer area 302, and the docking area 303 are arranged in sequence along the second direction of the main body structure 30, and the transfer mechanism drives the acquisition mechanism to move in two directions. For example, as Figure 8 shown, the transfer mechanism 320 can drive the acquisition mechanism 321 to move in the first direction and the second direction to enable the acquisition mechanism 321 to acquire the vehicle 1 from the temporary storage position 310 and unload the vehicle 1 onto the loading assembly 33. In one example, for instance, the temporary storage area 301, the transfer area 302, and the docking area 303 are not arranged in sequence, or the multiple temporary storage positions are arranged in multiple columns, and the transfer mechanism drives the acquisition mechanism to move in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction to enable the acquisition mechanism 321 to acquire the vehicle 1 from the temporary storage position 310 and unload the vehicle 1 onto the loading assembly 33.

[0054] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 8 and in conjunction with Figure 4 and Figure 5, as shown in the figure, the transfer mechanism 320 includes a first motion mechanism 3201 and a second motion mechanism 3202. The first motion mechanism 3201 is disposed in the transfer area 302 and extends along a first direction. The second motion mechanism 3202 is disposed on the first motion mechanism 3201 and extends along a second direction. The acquisition mechanism 321 is disposed on the second motion mechanism 3202. The second motion mechanism 3202 can drive the acquisition mechanism 321 to move along the second direction, and the first motion mechanism 3201 can drive the second motion mechanism 3202 and the acquisition mechanism 321 carried thereon to move along the first direction. Specifically, the first motion mechanism 3201 is used to move in the first direction to drive the acquisition mechanism 321 to align with the temporary storage position 310 or the loading component 33. When the acquisition mechanism 321 aligns with the temporary storage position 310, the second motion mechanism 3202 drives the acquisition mechanism 321 to move along the second direction into the temporary storage position 310 to acquire the carrier 1, or when the acquisition mechanism 321 aligns with the loading component 33, the second motion mechanism 3202 drives the acquisition mechanism 321 to move along the second direction into the docking area 303 to unload the carrier 1 onto the loading component 33.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, the first motion mechanism 3201 drives the second motion mechanism 3202 and the acquisition mechanism 321 disposed thereon to move in a first direction to drive the acquisition mechanism 321 to align with the temporary storage position 310. When the acquisition mechanism 321 aligns with the temporary storage position 310, the second motion mechanism 3202 drives the acquisition mechanism 321 to move in a second direction into the temporary storage position 310. After the acquisition mechanism 321 enters the temporary storage position 310, the first motion mechanism 3201 drives the acquisition mechanism 321 to move upward to acquire the carrier 1. After the acquisition mechanism 321 acquires the carrier 1, it moves in the second direction so that the acquisition mechanism 321 carries the carrier 1 away from the temporary storage position 310. Then, the first motion mechanism 3201 moves in the first direction to drive the acquisition mechanism 321 to align with the loading component 33. Further, when the acquisition mechanism 321 aligns with the loading component 33, the second motion mechanism 3202 drives the acquisition mechanism 321 to move in the second direction into the docking area 303 to unload the carrier 1 onto the loading component 33. For example, after the acquisition mechanism 321 enters the docking area 303, the first motion mechanism 3201 drives the acquisition mechanism 321 and the carrier 1 carried thereon to move downward to unload the carrier 1 onto the loading component 33. Wherein, the acquisition mechanism 321 aligning with the temporary storage position 310 means that the acquisition mechanism is located below the temporary storage position. For example, the acquisition mechanism 321 aligning with a temporary storage position means that the fork arm 3211 of the acquisition mechanism 321 described later is at a height between this temporary storage position and the adjacent lower temporary storage position. The acquisition mechanism 321 aligning with the loading component 33 means that the carrier on the acquisition mechanism 321 is located above the loading component 33 in the first direction. For example, the fork arm of the acquisition mechanism is located above the transportation track described later, and the base is located below the transportation track. It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the moving sequence and manner of the first motion mechanism and the second motion mechanism are limited to distance. In some other embodiments, after the acquisition mechanism leaves the temporary storage position, it can also move in the first direction and the second direction to align with the loading component.

[0056] In the embodiment where the aforementioned transfer mechanism can drive the acquisition mechanism to move in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction, the transfer mechanism further includes a third motion mechanism disposed between the first motion mechanism and the second motion mechanism. The third motion mechanism is used to move in the third direction to cooperate with the first motion mechanism to drive the acquisition mechanism to align with the temporary storage position or the loading component. Specifically, the first motion mechanism drives the acquisition mechanism to move in the first direction and the third motion mechanism drives the acquisition mechanism to move in the third direction so that the acquisition mechanism aligns with the temporary storage position or the loading component.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first motion mechanism, the second motion mechanism, or the third motion mechanism is exemplified by a lead screw drive mechanism, a belt drive mechanism, a gear drive mechanism, or a chain drive mechanism, etc.

[0058] In one embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, the acquisition mechanism 321 includes a base 3210 and a fork arm 3211. The base 3210 is disposed on the transfer mechanism 320 to be driven by the transfer mechanism 320 to move in at least two directions. In an embodiment where the transfer mechanism includes a first and a second motion mechanism, the base 3210 is, for example, disposed on Figure 8 the second motion mechanism 3202 of the transfer mechanism 320 as shown, and the base 3210 is driven by the transfer mechanism 320 to move in a first direction and a second direction. In an embodiment where the transfer mechanism includes a first, a second, and a third motion mechanism, the base 3210 may also be disposed on the second motion mechanism to be driven by the transfer mechanism to move in a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction.

[0059] In one embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, the base 3210 includes a base 32100 connected to the second motion mechanism 3202 and a connecting member 32101 located on the upper side of the base 32100, and the connecting member 32101 is used to connect the fork arm 3211. In an example, the base 32100 is configured as a U-shaped structure. It should be noted that the structure of the base in this application is not limited. In other embodiments, the base may also be configured as other connection structures that can connect the fork arm to the second motion mechanism. Further, please refer to Figure 8 and in combination with Figure 4 , as shown in the figure, an avoidance area 3212 is formed between the base 32100 and the fork arm 3211 in a third direction to prevent the base 32100 from interfering with other components or parts (such as collisions, interferences, and movement obstacles) when the fork arm 3211 enters or exits the temporary storage position 310 or when the fork arm 3211 unloads the carrier 1 to the loading component 33. For example, the base 32100 is always located outside the bearing portion 312 when the fork arm 3211 enters or exits the temporary storage position 310. Another example is that the base 32100 is always located outside the transportation track described later when the fork arm 3211 unloads the carrier 1 to the loading component 33.

[0060] Taking the base 3210 being driven by the transfer mechanism 320 to move in a first direction and a second direction as an example to illustrate the fork arm, please refer to Figure 8 and in combination with Figure 4, as shown in the figure, the fork arm 3211 is disposed on the base 3210. When it aligns with the temporary storage position 310, it forks into the bottom of the carrier 1 to lift the carrier 1 and move it away from the temporary storage position 310 through the movement of the transfer mechanism 320 in the first direction and the second direction. In this embodiment, the fork arm 3211 aligning with the temporary storage position 310 means that the acquisition mechanism 321 aligns with the temporary storage position 310. The fork arm 3211 aligning with a temporary storage position 310 means that the fork arm 3211 is at the height on the lower side of this temporary storage position. For example, the fork arm 3211 is at the height between this temporary storage position and the adjacent lower temporary storage position. When the fork arm 3211 aligns with the temporary storage position 310, it moves in the second direction to fork into the bottom of the carrier 1. Then, the first motion mechanism 3201 of the transfer mechanism 320 drives the fork arm 3211 to move upward to lift the carrier 1 by the fork arm 3211, and moves in the second direction under the drive of the second motion mechanism 3202 to carry the carrier 1 away from the temporary storage position 310. When the fork arm 3211 aligns with the loading component 33, it is located above the loading component 33 to drive the acquisition mechanism to carry the carrier above the loading component through the movement of the transfer mechanism 320 in the second direction and the first direction. In this embodiment, the fork arm 3211 aligning with the loading component 33 means that the acquisition mechanism 321 aligns with the loading component 33. The fork arm 3211 aligning with the loading component 33 means that the fork arm 3211 is above the loading component 33 and the base is below the loading component 33. For example, the fork arm 3211 aligning with the loading component 33 means that the fork arm 3211 is above the transportation track described below and the base is below the transportation track.

[0061] In one embodiment, the fork arm 3211 is configured as two arm members (i.e., the first arm member 32110 and the second arm member 32111), and each arm member is, for example, a long strip structure. It should be noted that although the above embodiment takes the fork arm 3211 configured as two arm members as an example, it is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, the number of the arm members can also be configured as three or more. In some other embodiments, the fork arm can also be configured as a plate-like member. In the following embodiments, the fork arm configured as two arm members is taken as an example for description.

[0062] In order to enable the fork arm to move upward to lift the carrier, in one embodiment, the width of the fork arm in the third direction is smaller than the distance between the first bearing member and the second bearing member in the third direction. For example, as Figure 8 shown, the width h1 between the front end of the first arm member 32110 and the rear end of the second arm member 32111 is smaller than the distance between the first bearing member and the second bearing member in the third direction.

[0063] In order for the fork arm to unload the vehicle onto the loading component, the width of the fork arm in the third direction is smaller than the spacing between the transport tracks in the transfer component (i.e., the spacing between two opposite guide rails in the transport tracks). In one example, as Figure 8 shown, the width h1 of the front end of the first arm member 32110 and the second arm member 32111 in the third direction is smaller than the spacing between two opposite guide rails in the transport tracks. For example, please refer to Figure 8 and in combination with Figure 9 , Figure 9 which shows a schematic structural view of the loading component carrying a vehicle in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the width h1 between the front end of the first arm member 32110 and the rear end of the second arm member 32111 in the third direction is smaller than the spacing h2 between two transport chains (33012, 33013) described later. Further, in the embodiment where the base 3210 includes a base 32100 and a connecting member 32101 located on the upper side of the base 32100, in order to avoid interference between the base and the loading component, the spacing between the base 32100 and the fork arm 3211 in the first direction (i.e., the height of the connecting member 32101) is greater than the dimension of the transport track in the first direction described later, so that during the process of the fork arm moving in the first direction to unload the vehicle onto the loading component, the base 32100 is located below the transport track in the loading component described later.

[0064] It should be noted that although in the above embodiment, the transfer component includes a transfer mechanism and an acquisition mechanism as an example, it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the transfer component can also be configured as a movable manipulator or a movable vacuum adsorption device, etc., which can realize taking out the vehicle from the temporary storage position and transferring the vehicle to other structures in the loading component.

[0065] In one embodiment, an anti-collision protection structure (not shown) is provided on the acquisition mechanism. By providing the anti-collision protection structure, it is possible to avoid damaging the materials or vehicles carried on the acquisition mechanism. Among them, the anti-collision protection structure is made of a flexible material, and examples of the flexible material are silica gel, rubber, or thermoplastic polyurethane, etc. In one example, the anti-collision protection structure is provided on the fork arm. For example, the anti-collision protection structure is configured as a silica gel strip provided on the surfaces of the first arm member and the second arm member.

[0066] In one embodiment, the transport component further includes a transport detection mechanism disposed on the acquisition mechanism for detecting whether there is a carrier on the acquisition mechanism. In one example, the transport detection mechanism is configured on the fork arm, for example, the transport detection mechanism is exemplified as a sensor configured on the first arm member and the second arm member. In this embodiment, avoidance spaces are also provided on the first arm member and the second arm member, respectively, to allow the sensor to be configured on the first arm member and the second arm member. Among them, the sensor is exemplified as a micro switch or a photoelectric sensor. The present application does not limit the type and configuration position of the sensor, and those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments based on the above examples.

[0067] The loading assembly is arranged in the docking area, and is used to convey the received carrier carrying the material to the docking port so that the carrier on the docking port is delivered to the glue coating device in a horizontal posture. The delivery of the carrier to the glue coating device in a horizontal posture means that the carrier is delivered to the glue coating device in a posture perpendicular to the first direction. In this way, by delivering the carrier to the glue coating device in a horizontal posture, the material carried in the carrier can be delivered to the glue coating device in a horizontal posture, which helps to evenly coat the material surface with glue and avoid the defects of the three-proof glue such as accumulation, bubbles, and sagging due to the gravity flow of the three-proof glue.

[0068] See also Figure 9 and Figure 10 Combined with Figure 4 , Figure 10 Show this application Figure 9 The schematic diagram of the structure of the loading assembly in the illustrated embodiment does not carry a carrier. As shown in the figure, the loading assembly 33 includes a transport mechanism 330 and a drive mechanism 331. The transport mechanism 330 is arranged in the docking area 303 and extends to the docking port 304 along the second direction. It is used to receive the carrier 1 at the end opposite to the docking port 304. Specifically, the transport mechanism 330 is used to receive the carrier 1 unloaded by the transfer assembly 32 at its end away from the docking port 304 (that is, the end of the transport mechanism 330 close to the transfer assembly 32), and deliver the carrier 1 to the docking port 304 in a horizontal posture, so that the carrier 1 on the docking port 304 is delivered to the glue coating device in a horizontal posture. The drive mechanism 331 is connected to the transport mechanism 330, and is used to drive the transport mechanism 330 to move in the second direction to transport the carrier 1 to the docking port 304. Among them, the drive mechanism 331 is exemplified as a drive motor.

[0069] In one embodiment, see Figure 9 Combined with Figure 10, the transport mechanism 330 includes an adjustment seat 3300 and a transport track 3301 disposed on the adjustment seat 3300. The adjustment seat 3300 is used to adjust the spacing of the transport track 3301 to adapt to various sizes of gluing equipment. By adjusting the spacing of the transport track 3301, carriers 1 of different sizes can be adapted, so that the feeding device can be connected to gluing equipment of various sizes. Among them, the transport track 3301 extends in a horizontal direction. For example, the transport track 3301 extends in a second direction so that the transport track 3301 can deliver the carrier 1 to the docking port 304 in a horizontal posture so that the carrier 1 can be delivered to the docking port 304 in a horizontal posture. Figure 2 The gluing device 4 is shown.

[0070] In one example, the adjustment seat 3300 includes two adjustment components 33000 arranged opposite to each other in the second direction, a first connection seat 33001 and a second connection seat 33002 arranged opposite to each other in the third direction of each adjustment component 33000, and a rotating hand wheel 33003 drivingly connected to any adjustment component 33000. Specifically, Figure 10 As shown, each adjustment component 33000 includes a threaded rod 330001 and a transmission rod 330002, and the rotating hand wheel 33003 is transmission-connected with the threaded rod in an adjustment component 33000, for example, the rotating hand wheel 33003 is transmission-connected with the threaded rod 330001 in the adjustment component 33000 near the docking port 304; the first connecting seat 33001 is fixedly arranged at one end of the adjustment component 33000, for example, the first connecting seat 33001 is fixedly arranged at the front end of the threaded rod 330001 and the transmission rod 330002, and the second connecting seat 33002 is sleeved on the threaded rod 330001 and the transmission rod 330002, the threaded rods 330001 in the two adjustment components 33000 are connected by a transmission member 33004 (such as a transmission chain or a transmission gear, etc.), so that when the rotating hand wheel 33003 is rotated, the threaded rod 330001 connected to the rotating hand wheel 33003 rotates and then drives the threaded rod 330001 in the other adjustment component 33000 to rotate synchronously through the transmission member 33004, so that the second connection seat 33002 mounted on the two adjustment components 33000 moves along the third direction on the adjustment component 33000 to adjust the distance between the first connection seat 33001 and the second connection seat 33002. In an example, please continue to refer to Figure 9 Combined with Figure 10, as shown in the figure, the transportation track 3301 includes a first guide rail 33010 and a second guide rail 33011 arranged opposite to each other, a first transportation chain 33012 sleeved on the first guide rail 33010 and the first connecting seat 33001, and a second transportation chain 33013 sleeved on the second guide rail 33011 and the second connecting seat 33002. The first guide rail 33010 and the second guide rail 33011 are respectively fixedly connected to the first connecting seat 33001 and the second connecting seat 33002. Furthermore, by adjusting the distance between the first connecting seat 33001 and the second connecting seat 33002, the distance between the first transportation chain 33012 and the second transportation chain 33013 can be adjusted, that is, the distance of the transportation track 3301 can be adjusted. And by driving the transmission rod 330002 in an adjustment assembly 33000 by a driving mechanism 331 to rotate, the first transportation chain 33012 and the second transportation chain 33013 can be driven to move in the second direction, so that the carrier 1 arranged on the first transportation chain 33012 and the second transportation chain 33013 moves in the second direction. Wherein, the first transportation chain 33012 and the second transportation chain 33013 have the same height in the first direction so that the carrier 1 can be conveyed to the docking port 304 in a horizontal posture.

[0071] It should be noted that although the transportation mechanism is described by taking the examples shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 as examples, it is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments to the transportation mechanism, or the adjustment seat and the transportation track in the transportation mechanism according to the examples in the above embodiments, as long as it satisfies that the transportation mechanism can deliver the received carrier to the docking port in a horizontal posture under the drive of the driving mechanism. For example, the transportation mechanism may also only include a transportation track. Another example is that the transportation mechanism may also be configured as a belt conveyor mechanism, or a horizontally movable vacuum adsorption structure, etc. Another example is that the adjustment seat may also include multiple groups of adjustment components, or each group of adjustment components can be automatically driven and adjusted by a driving mechanism.

[0072] In one embodiment, the loading component further includes a passing detection mechanism arranged on the transportation mechanism for detecting the passing of the carrier. Specifically, by arranging the passing detection mechanism on the transportation mechanism, it can be determined whether there is a carrier passing on the transportation mechanism. In one example, such as Figure 10As shown, the detection mechanism is configured as a first sensing component 3321 and a second sensing component 3322 disposed at the left and right ends of the transport mechanism 330. Among them, the first sensing component 3321 is used to sense whether the transfer component places the vehicle on the transport mechanism 330, and the first sensing component 3321 is used to sense whether the vehicle is transported by the transport mechanism 330 to the docking port. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the first sensing component 3321 and the second sensing component 3322, it can be determined whether there is a vehicle passing through the transport mechanism. It should be noted that the detection mechanism may also include three or more sensing components, or only one sensing component is provided at the right end of the transport mechanism 330 (i.e., the end of the transport mechanism 330 close to the docking port), or only one sensing component is provided at the left end of the transport mechanism 330 (i.e., the end of the transport mechanism 330 close to the transfer area). Among them, each sensing component is, for example, a light-based sensing component. For example, each sensing component includes a light emitter and a light receiver. Taking the light emitter and the light receiver being arranged on the first guide rail as an example, the light emitter and the light receiver are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the first guide rail so that when the vehicle passes through, the light emitted by the light emitter can be blocked and received by the light receiver, enabling the sensing component to sense the vehicle. It should be noted that the present application does not limit the arrangement positions of the light emitter and the light receiver, as long as the detection requirements can be met. For example, the light emitter and the light receiver can also be relatively arranged on the first guide rail and the second guide rail respectively, or the light emitter and the light receiver can also be arranged only on the second guide rail. Further, each sensing component further includes a mounting member for mounting the light emitter and the light receiver. In the embodiment where the light emitter and the light receiver are arranged on the first guide rail, the mounting member is connected to the first guide rail, but this is not a limitation. The mounting member can also be connected to the second guide rail.

[0073] In one embodiment, in order to automatically identify the identifier representing the material code for recording or monitoring the feeding process based on the material code, please refer to Figure 4 , the docking area 303 is divided into a visual monitoring area 3031 close to the transfer area 302 and a feeding area 3032 close to the docking port 304. In this embodiment, the feeding device 33 further includes a visual monitoring device for taking pictures of the materials in the visual monitoring area 3031 for appearance recording. Thus, by automatically identifying the identifier in the appearance image captured by the visual monitoring device by the main control device described later, the code of the feeding materials can be automatically identified and recorded.

[0074] When the glue - applying device docked with the loading device can only apply glue to one surface of the material at a time and only one surface of the material is configured with an identification mark, the same carrier needs to be loaded twice. That is, when loading for the first time, the first surface (such as the front or the back) of the material faces up, and when loading for the second time, the second surface opposite to the first surface faces up. In order to be able to capture the identification mark configured on the material when the material faces different surfaces up, please refer to Figure 4 , the visual monitoring device includes a first image acquisition unit 3331 and a second image acquisition unit 3332. The first image acquisition unit 3331 is arranged on the upper side of the visual monitoring area and includes a first camera. The first camera is used to capture an image of the material above the carrier 1. The second image acquisition unit 3332 is arranged on the lower side of the visual monitoring area and includes a second camera. The second camera is used to capture an image of the material below the carrier 1. Thus, in the embodiment of the present application, by arranging image acquisition units on both the upper side and the lower side of the visual monitoring area, the same surface of the material can be captured by the image acquisition units on different sides before and after the material is flipped to obtain an image of the surface of the material configured with an identification mark. For example, when the surface of the material configured with the identification mark faces up, the first image acquisition unit is used to obtain an image of the surface of the material configured with the identification mark. After flipping the material, when the surface of the material configured with the identification mark faces down, the second image acquisition unit is used to obtain an image of the surface of the material configured with the identification mark. It is also possible to capture images of different surfaces of the material by the first image acquisition unit and the second image acquisition unit simultaneously before and after the material is flipped to obtain an image of the surface of the material configured with the identification mark. It should be noted that arranging image acquisition units on both the upper side and the lower side of the visual monitoring area is also applicable to materials with identification marks configured on both surfaces.

[0075] Among them, the first camera includes a photosensitive sensor (such as CCD or CMOS). The first camera uses the photosensitive sensor to convert the reflected light received from the surface of the material into a first appearance image. The first camera can be a color camera or a black - and - white camera. It should be noted that the number of the first cameras can be one, or two or more. Using two or more first cameras can obtain multiple first appearance images from different positions to avoid the problem of the first appearance image lacking the identification mark caused by the shooting blind area. In the following embodiments, the number of the first cameras is taken as one for illustration. The second camera has the same or similar structure and function as the first camera, and will not be elaborated here.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 4, the first image capturing unit 3331 is disposed on the top of the main body structure 30. The first image capturing unit 3331 further includes a first mounting assembly (not labeled) disposed on the top of the main body structure 30 for mounting the first camera. In other embodiments, the first camera may also be suspended at any position between the top of the main body structure and the transportation mechanism.

[0077] In one embodiment, the first mounting assembly includes an adjustable mechanism and a mounting portion. The adjustable mechanism is disposed on the main body structure and allows adjustment of the spatial position of the camera relative to the visual monitoring area. The mounting portion is connected to the adjustable mechanism for mounting the first camera. In the following embodiments, for the sake of distinction, the adjustable mechanism and the mounting portion in the first mounting assembly are referred to as the first adjustable mechanism and the first mounting portion, and the adjustable mechanism and the mounting portion in the second mounting assembly are referred to as the second adjustable mechanism and the second mounting portion. In one example, the first adjustable mechanism is, for example, an adjustment mechanism that can adjust the spatial position of the first camera relative to the visual monitoring area in the front-rear direction. For example, the first adjustable mechanism is configured as at least one slide bar spanning across the top of the main body structure in the front-rear direction, and the first mounting portion is sleeved on the slide bar. Thus, the user can adjust the front-rear position of the first mounting portion on the slide bar to adjust the spatial position of the first camera relative to the visual monitoring area. Although in the above embodiment, the first adjustable mechanism is taken as a manual adjustment mechanism that can only adjust the position of the first camera in the front-rear direction as an example, it is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, the first adjustable mechanism may also be configured as an adjustment mechanism that can adjust the spatial position of the first camera relative to the visual monitoring area in any one or more of the three dimensions of up-down, front-rear, and left-right. In some other embodiments, the first adjustable mechanism may also be configured as an automatic adjustment mechanism. For example, the first adjustable mechanism includes, for example, a telescopic rod that can automatically expand and contract in the three dimensions of up-down, front-rear, and left-right, and a driving motor for driving the corresponding telescopic rod to expand and contract.

[0078] In one embodiment, the second mounting assembly includes a second adjustable mechanism disposed on the main body structure that allows adjustment of the spatial position of the camera relative to the visual monitoring area, and a second mounting portion connected to the second adjustable mechanism for mounting the second camera. The second adjustable mechanism and the second mounting portion have the same or similar structures as the first adjustable mechanism and the first mounting portion, and will not be described in detail here.

[0079] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2, as shown in the figure, the feeding device further includes a main control device 34 disposed on the main body structure 30. The main control device 34 includes a control unit (not shown), and the control unit is used to control the feeding assembly and the transfer assembly to work, and to control the first image acquisition unit and / or the second image acquisition unit to capture images; further, the control unit can also be used to identify the acquired images to determine the coding of the materials.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 11 , which shows a schematic structural diagram of the control unit in an embodiment of the present application. The control unit includes a storage device 340 and a processing device 341 connected to the storage device 340. Further, the control unit further includes a communication interface 342.

[0081] In some embodiments, the storage device 340 is used to store at least one program, and the at least one program can be executed by the processing device 341 to coordinate the storage device 340 to control the feeding assembly and the transfer assembly to work, and to control the first image acquisition unit and / or the second image acquisition unit to capture images, etc. Here, the storage device 340 includes but is not limited to: Read-Only Memory (ROM), Random Access Memory (RAM), Nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). For example, the storage device 340 includes a flash device or other non-volatile solid-state storage devices. In certain embodiments, the storage device 340 may further include a memory remote from one or more processing devices 341, such as a network-attached memory accessed via an RF circuit or an external port and a communication network, where the communication network may be the Internet, one or more internal networks, local area networks, wide area networks, storage area networks, etc., or a suitable combination thereof. The memory controller can control other components of the device, such as the CPU and the peripheral interface, to access the memory.

[0082] In some embodiments, the processing device 341 includes one or more processors. The processing device 341 operably performs data reading and writing operations with the storage device 340. The processing device 341 includes one or more general-purpose microprocessors, one or more application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), one or more digital signal processors (DSPs), one or more field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), or any combination thereof.

[0083] In some embodiments, the communication interface 342 includes at least one interface unit, and each interface unit is respectively used for outputting a visual interface, receiving a human-computer interaction event generated according to the operation of a technician, etc. For example, the communication interface 342 includes, but is not limited to: a serial interface such as an HDMI interface or a USB interface, or a parallel interface, etc. In one embodiment, the communication interface 342 further includes a network communication unit, which is a device for data transmission using a wired or wireless network, and examples thereof include, but are not limited to: an integrated circuit including a network card, a local area network module such as a WiFi module or a Bluetooth module, a wide area network module such as a mobile network, etc.

[0084] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the main control device 34 further includes a display device 343, and the display device 343 is disposed outside the main body structure 30 and electrically connected to the control unit. The display device 343 is used for the loading state of the loading device. Among them, the loading state is, for example, whether a carrier is carried in a plurality of temporary storage positions, the code of the material that has been delivered to the gluing device, etc.

[0085] In an embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the main control device 34 further includes an input device 345, and the input device 345 is used for a user to input. For example, the user inputs the moving speed of the transfer component or the loading component through the input device 345.

[0086] This application also provides a loading method for a loading device. Among them, the loading device may be the loading device described in any of the foregoing embodiments of this application. For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 11 any of the embodiments described in it and its related descriptions, which will not be elaborated here. The loading method of the loading device can be executed by the main control device described above or other main control devices that can execute the loading method of the loading device. The main control device is communicatively connected to the loading component, the temporary storage component, and the transfer component to control the transfer component and the loading component to work together based on the detection of the temporary storage component to implement the loading method of the loading device described in any of the following embodiments.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 12 , which shows a flowchart of the loading method of the loading device of this application in an embodiment. As shown in the figure, the loading method of the loading device includes steps S110 to S120.

[0088] In step S110, when the main control device detects that there are carriers carrying materials in multiple temporary storage positions of the temporary storage component, it controls the transfer component to dock with one of the temporary storage positions and controls it to transport the carried carrier to the loading component.

[0089] In one embodiment, the vacancy detection mechanism in the temporary storage component is communicatively connected to the main control device. Therefore, when the main control device determines that there are carriers carrying materials in multiple temporary storage positions based on the detection results of the vacancy detection mechanism, it controls the transfer component to dock with one of the temporary storage positions so that the temporary storage component can carry a carrier, and controls the transfer component to transport the carried carrier to the feeding component when the transfer component is carrying a carrier. In another embodiment, after the staff places the carrier on multiple temporary storage positions, the temporary storage positions in the temporary storage component that carry the carrier can also be input through the input device.

[0090] In one embodiment, the steps of controlling the transfer component to dock with one of the temporary storage positions and controlling it to transport the carried carrier to the feeding component include step S1100, step S1101, and step S1102.

[0091] In step S1100, the main control device controls the first motion mechanism in the transfer component to move in the first direction to drive the acquisition mechanism in the transfer component to align with the temporary storage position, and controls the second motion mechanism in the transfer component to move in the second direction to drive the acquisition mechanism to enter the temporary storage position.

[0092] In one embodiment, the acquisition mechanism aligning with the temporary storage position means that the acquisition mechanism is located below the temporary storage position. For example, the acquisition mechanism aligning with a temporary storage position means that the fork arms of the acquisition mechanism described later are at a height between this temporary storage position and the adjacent lower temporary storage position.

[0093] In step S1101, the main control device controls the first motion mechanism to move in the first direction to lift the carrier by the acquisition mechanism, and controls the second motion mechanism to move in the second direction to make the acquisition mechanism carry the carrier away from the temporary storage position.

[0094] In one embodiment, after the acquisition mechanism enters the temporary storage position, the main control device controls the first motion mechanism to move upward to lift the carrier by the acquisition mechanism. After the main control device determines through the transfer detection mechanism communicatively connected to it that the acquisition mechanism is carrying a carrier, the main control device controls the second motion mechanism to move in the second direction to make the acquisition mechanism carry the carrier away from the temporary storage position.

[0095] In step S1102, the main control device controls the first motion mechanism in the transfer component to move in the first direction to drive the acquisition mechanism in the transfer component to align with the feeding component, and controls the second motion mechanism in the transfer component to move in the second direction to drive the acquisition mechanism to carry the carrier above the feeding component.

[0096] In one embodiment, the master control device controls the first motion mechanism in the transfer assembly to move in a first direction to drive the acquisition mechanism in the transfer assembly to align with the loading assembly, and controls the second motion mechanism to move in a second direction when the acquisition mechanism aligns with the loading assembly to drive the acquisition mechanism to move into the docking area in the second direction to unload the carrier on the loading assembly. For example, after the acquisition mechanism enters the docking area, the first motion mechanism drives the acquisition mechanism and the carrier carried thereon to move downward to unload the carrier on the loading assembly. Wherein, the acquisition mechanism aligning with the loading assembly means that the carrier on the acquisition mechanism is located above the loading assembly in the first direction. For example, the fork arm of the acquisition mechanism is located above the transportation track described later, and the base is located below the transportation track.

[0097] In step S120, when the master control device detects that a carrier is received on the loading assembly, it controls the loading assembly to convey the carrier to the docking port for docking with the gluing device, so as to feed the gluing device through the docking port.

[0098] In one embodiment, when the master control device determines that a carrier is received on the loading assembly through a detection mechanism communicatively connected thereto, it controls the loading assembly to convey the carrier to the docking port for docking with the gluing device.

[0099] In summary, the loading device and the loading method for the docking gluing device provided by the present application are provided with a temporary storage area, a transfer area, and a docking area in the main structure of the loading device. Multiple temporary storage positions in the temporary storage assembly provided in the temporary storage area can be used to carry carriers. The transfer assembly provided in the transfer area can dock with one of the temporary storage positions to transport the carrier carried thereon to the loading assembly located in the docking area, so that the loading assembly can convey the carrier carrying the material to the docking port to enable the carrier on the docking port to be delivered to the gluing device in a horizontal posture. In this way, the staff only needs to load multiple carriers carrying materials into the temporary storage assembly, and then through the cooperation of the transfer assembly and the loading assembly, automatic loading of the gluing device can be achieved, without the staff having to stay at the loading port of the gluing device all the time, saving manpower.

[0100] The above embodiments only illustratively explain the inventive essence of the present application and the beneficial effects obtained therefrom, rather than limiting the present application. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the principles and scopes of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present application should still be covered by the claims of the present application.
