[0016] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0017] Example 1.

[0018] This embodiment 1 provides a panel locking production system, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a loading workstation 1, a conveying line 3, a locking workstation 4 and a unloading workstation 5. The loading station 1 is connected to the input end of the conveying line 3, and is used to convey and split the material box array 8, and transfer the single material box 2 to the conveying line 3 in sequence; The locking workstation 4 is disposed above the conveying line 3 and is used to perform locking operations on the panels 7 stored in the material boxes 2 on the conveying line 3; The unloading workstation 5 is connected to the output end of the conveying line 3 , and is used to transfer the single material boxes 2 on the conveying line 3 and stack them into a material box array 8 , as well as to convey the material box array 8 .

[0019] The technical concept of the present invention is: first, based on the loading workstation 1, the functions of conveying, splitting, and transferring the material box onto the line are integrated, with a simple structure and low cost; secondly, through the cooperation of the conveying assembly line 3 and the locking workstation 4, compared with the special equipment, the deployment flexibility is strong, the structure is simple and the processing cycle is short, which can reduce the economic losses caused by the idleness of the product change equipment, and the rapid installation and configuration facilitate the upgrading and transformation of the product change. Finally, the unloading workstation 5 integrates the functions of transferring, unloading, stacking, and conveying, with a simple structure and low cost. It does not require manual intervention in one automatic unloading cycle and has a high degree of automation. Compared with the special equipment locking method, this method avoids the secondary loading and unloading of the panel from the material box to the positioning tooling, effectively protects the surface, and simplifies the action process.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the loading station 1 includes: A feeding conveying module 12 is used to convey the material box array 8 from the initial feeding position to the feeding lifting position; A loading lifting and positioning module 13 is used to lift the material box array 8 at the loading lifting position to the loading positioning position; A loading and transferring module 14 is used to sequentially transfer the individual material boxes 2 in the material box array 8 to the loading position of the conveying line 3; The loading frame 11 is used to assist in fixing the loading conveying module 12 , the loading lifting and positioning module 13 , and the loading transfer module 14 .

[0021] Specifically, the loading lifting and positioning module 13 includes a lifting module 131, a support platform 132, a first side-pushing positioning component 133 and a second side-pushing positioning component 134. The lifting module 131 drives the support platform 132 to lift the material box array 8 at the loading and lifting position to a preset loading height, and then the first side-pushing positioning component 133 and the second side-pushing positioning component 134 cooperate to push the material box array 8 to the loading positioning position; The loading and transferring module 14 includes a loading suction component 141, a loading cylinder 142 and a loading and transferring module 143. The loading cylinder 142 telescopes to drive the loading suction component 141 to absorb the topmost single material box 2 at the loading positioning position, and then the loading and transferring module 143 drives the loading cylinder 142 to move to transport the material box 2 to the loading position of the conveying line 3.

[0022] In addition, the loading station 1 also includes: A first sensor 15, used to detect whether a material box array (8) exists at the initial loading position, and to send a first sensing signal if it exists; A second sensor 16 is used to detect whether there is a material box array (8) at the material loading and lifting position, and send a second sensor signal if it exists; A third sensor 17, used to detect whether there is a material box array (8) at the material loading location, and if so, to send a third sensor signal; A fourth sensor 18 is used to detect whether there is a material box 2 at the input end of the conveying line 3, and if not, a fourth sensor signal is sent; The loading control module is used to control the loading workstation 1 to prepare for loading operation according to the fourth sensor signal; control the loading conveying module 12 to perform loading conveying operation according to the first sensor signal; control the loading lifting and positioning module 13 to perform loading lifting operation according to the second sensor signal; and control the loading transfer module 14 to perform loading transfer operation according to the third sensor signal.

[0023] The specific working principle of feeding workstation 1 is: First, the fourth sensor 18 detects whether there is a material box 2 at the input end of the conveying line 3, and sends a fourth sensor signal if not; the loading control module controls the loading workstation 1 to prepare for the loading operation according to the received fourth sensor signal.

[0024] Secondly, the first sensor detects whether there is a material box array 8 at the initial loading position, and sends a first sensor signal when it senses that there is a material box array 8 at the initial loading position; the loading control module controls the loading and conveying module 12 to perform loading and conveying operations based on the received first sensor signal, and the loading and conveying module conveys the material box array 8 from the initial loading position to the loading lifting position.

[0025] Then, the second sensor 16 detects whether there is a material box array 8 at the loading and lifting position, and sends a second sensor signal when it senses that there is a material box array 8 at the loading and lifting position; the loading control module controls the loading and conveying module 12 to stop transmission and controls the loading and lifting positioning module 13 to perform the loading and lifting operation according to the received second sensor signal. The lifting module 131 drives the support platform 132 to lift the material box 2 at the loading and lifting position to the preset loading height, and then the first side push positioning component 133 and the second side push positioning component 134 cooperate to push the material box array 8 to the loading and positioning position.

[0026] Finally, the third sensor 17 detects whether there is a material box array 8 at the loading position, and sends a third sensor signal when it senses that there is a material box array 8 at the loading position; the loading control module controls the loading and transferring module 14 to perform the loading and transferring operation according to the received third sensor signal. The loading cylinder 142 is telescopically driven to drive the loading suction component 141 to suck the single material box 2 on the top layer at the loading position, and then the loading and transferring module 143 drives the loading cylinder 142 to move to transport the material box 2 to the loading position of the conveying line 3, until all the stacked material boxes 2 on the loading lifting and positioning module 13 are loaded, and the automatic loading of the stacked material boxes 2 is completed.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the material box 2 is an integrally formed blister box, which is used for storage, transportation and locking of the panel 7. A plurality of grooves are designed on the frame to improve the strength. The internal cavity is arranged according to the specifications of the panel 7. The clearance between the cavity and the panel 7 is matched, which is convenient for placement and taking. The panel 7 is protected during storage and transportation. A groove is designed at the bottom of the frame for stacking and positioning of the material boxes 2. There is a height difference between the cavity and the frame. When the material boxes 2 are stacked, the appearance of the panel 7 is protected. The material box 2 is used in conjunction with the loading workstation 1, the conveying assembly line 3, the locking workstation 4, and the unloading workstation 5 as an equipment carrier. The material boxes 2 used for panels 7 of different specifications have the same appearance, and the panel 7 model can be quickly switched to reduce the loss of downtime due to changeover.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the conveying line 3 includes a plurality of sequentially connected line conveying modules 31. The line conveying modules 31 are modularly designed, can be spliced ​​and expanded as needed, and have a simple structure and low cost.

[0029] The assembly line conveying module 31 includes an assembly line frame 311, an assembly line power component 312, an assembly line splicing component 313, an assembly line transmission component 314 and an assembly line blocking component 315. The assembly line frame 311 is used to support and prevent the material box 2 from running off the track, the assembly line transmission component 314 is used for bottom support and conveying of the material box 2, and the assembly line blocking component 315 is used to stop the material box 2 after it is in place.

[0030] Specifically, the assembly line transmission assembly 314 is arranged on the top of the assembly line frame 311, and the assembly line power assembly 312 is connected to the assembly line transmission assembly 314, and the assembly line power assembly 312 works to drive the assembly line transmission assembly 314 to convey the material box 2; The assembly line blocking assembly 315 is movably installed on the upper side of the assembly line frame 311 to achieve stopping and releasing of the material box 2 transported by the assembly line transmission assembly 314 .

[0031] In addition, if Fig. 9As shown, the conveying line 3 further includes a sixth sensor 316 and a conveying control module. When the conveying line 3 conveys the material box 2 carrying the panel 7 to be locked to the locking station, the sixth sensor 316 is arranged beside the locking station to detect whether the material box 2 reaches the locking position. If it reaches the locking position, a signal is sent to the conveying control module. The conveying control module controls the line blocking component 315 to rise, and the line conveying module 31 stops conveying.

[0032] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking workstation 4 includes a collaborative robot 42, a nail feeding mechanism 45 and a locking control module; The bottom of the collaborative robot 42 is fixed on the locking frame 41, and the movable part of the collaborative robot 42 is provided with an end effector 43 and a visual module 44; the nail feeding mechanism 45 is provided on the locking frame 41; The vision module 44 is used to collect the status data of the panel 7 in the material box 2 on the conveying line 3; the locking control module is used to control the end effector 43 of the collaborative robot 42 to clamp the screw 6 from the nail feeding mechanism 45 according to the status data of the panel 7, and then control the collaborative robot 42 to move to the locking position and then lock the panel 7 in the material box 2 through the end effector 43.

[0033] like Figure 7 As shown, the nail feeding mechanism 45 includes a vibrating conveying module 451 and a box body 453. The vibrating conveying module 451 includes a rotating conveying belt 4511, an arc-shaped conveying groove 4512 and a straight conveying groove 4513 connected in sequence. The rotating conveying belt 4511 is used to transport the screws 6 to the arc-shaped conveying groove 4512. The groove widths of the arc-shaped conveying groove 4512 and the straight conveying groove 4513 are both larger than the tail diameter of the screw 6 and smaller than the head diameter of the screw 6, so that the screws 6 transported on the arc-shaped conveying groove 4512 or the straight conveying groove 4513 can maintain a vertical state under the action of their own weight; an adjustment support 452 is provided under the box body 453.

[0034] A slider 454 is movably provided in the box body, and the slider 454 is connected to the nail feeding cylinder 455; a fifth sensor 457 for transmitting a ready signal is also provided in the box body; a pressure plate 456 is provided on the top of the box body, and a step-shaped groove 4561 connected to the flat conveying groove 4513 is provided on the pressure plate 456 for placing the screw 6 in a vertical state; the nail feeding cylinder 455 telescopically moves to drive the slider 454 to translate and slide, so that the slider 454 has a first position for receiving the screw 6 and a reset position for triggering the fifth sensor 457.

[0035] When the fifth sensor 457 detects that there is no screw 6, the nail feeding cylinder 455 retracts to make the slider 454 reach the stepped groove 4561, and receive a screw 6 on the vibration conveying module 451. Then the nail feeding cylinder 455 pushes the slider to the reset position to trigger the fifth sensor 457. The fifth sensor 457 sends a signal that the screw 6 is ready. The nail feeding mechanism 45 ensures that the screw 6 is in a vertical state without the risk of skewing and jamming, and leaves enough space for material removal, ensuring that the end effector 43 can accurately remove the nail.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, the end effector 43 includes a sub-disk 431, a linear slide module 432 and an electric rotating clamp 433. One side of the linear slide module 432 is connected to the main plate 421 on the collaborative robot 42 through the auxiliary plate 431, and the other side of the linear slide module 432 is movably connected to the electric rotating clamp 433; The linear slide module 432 is used to drive the electric rotating clamp 433 to move; the electric rotating clamp 433 is used to clamp the screw 6 and rotate the screw 6 at the locking position based on the preset torque value to perform the locking operation of the panel 7. The electric rotating clamp 433 has a built-in torque sensor, which feeds back the locking torque value to the locking control module in real time, and the locking control module further controls the electric rotating clamp to rotate and lock based on the preset torque value.

[0037] The visual module 44 includes a mounting bracket 441 and a camera 442, and the camera 442 is fixed to the electric rotating clamp 433 through the mounting bracket 441. The axis centers of the camera 442, the electric rotating clamp 433, and the collaborative robot 42 are all in the same straight line, which is convenient for programming and debugging. The panel 7 is stored in the material box 2, and there is no need for tooling to position and press. The visual module 44 recognizes a position and locks it each time. When the visual module 44 recognizes that the panel 7 is abnormal, it will skip and not lock it. After the entire plate is locked, an alarm will be issued to remind manual intervention, thereby improving the efficiency of continuous operation. The visual module 44 makes it unnecessary for the panel 7 to rely on tooling to position and press, simplifies the structure, has strong compatibility, and is convenient for model change.

[0038] The specific working principle is as follows: when the material box 2 is conveyed to the locking station, the sixth sensor 316 detects that the material box 2 has reached the locking position and sends a signal to the conveying control module. The conveying control module triggers the operation signal of the collaborative robot 42, and the nail feeding mechanism 45 provides a screw ready signal. The collaborative robot 42 reaches the position for taking the screw 6, and the end effector 43 receives the operation signal. The electric rotating jaw 433 clamps the screw 6. The collaborative robot 42 completes the nail removal, and the visual module 44 guides the collaborative robot 42 to reach the top of the panel 7 to be locked. The collaborative robot 42 notifies the linear slide module 432 to move downward, and the electric rotating jaw 433 rotates with the screw 6, and the screw 6 vertically enters the threaded hole on the panel 7. The electric rotating jaw 433 reaches the set torque value, and the screw 6 is locked. The head of the electric rotating jaw 433 is released, and the linear slide module 432 returns to the starting position. The collaborative robot 42 continues to work or stand by according to the program instructions until the locking of the panel 7 in the material box 2 is completed.

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, the blanking workstation 5 comprises: The material unloading and transferring module 54 is used to sequentially transfer the single material boxes 2 at the unloading position of the conveying line 3 to the unloading positioning position and stack them into a material box array 8; The material unloading lifting and positioning module 53 is used to lower the material box array 8 at the unloading positioning position to the unloading lifting position; A material unloading conveying module 52, used to convey the material box array 8 at the unloading lifting position to the unloading outlet position; The material unloading frame 51 is used to assist in fixing the material unloading conveying module 52 and the material unloading lifting and positioning module 53 .

[0040] In addition, the blanking workstation 5 also includes: The eleventh sensor 58 is used to detect whether there is a material box 2 at the unloading position of the conveying line 3, and if so, sends an eleventh sensor signal; A tenth sensor 57 is used to detect whether there is a material box 2 at the material unloading location, and if so, sends a tenth sensor signal; A ninth sensor 56, used to detect whether there is a material box array 8 at the material unloading and lifting position, and send a ninth sensor signal if there is; The eighth sensor 55 is used to detect whether there is a material box array 8 at the material discharge outlet position, and if so, sends an eighth sensor signal.

[0041] The material unloading control module is used to control the material unloading transfer module 54 to perform material unloading transfer operations according to the eleventh sensor signal; control the material unloading lifting and positioning module 53 to perform material unloading lifting operations according to the tenth sensor signal; control the material unloading conveying module 52 to perform material unloading conveying operations according to the ninth sensor signal; and control the material unloading conveying module 52 to stop running according to the eighth sensor signal.

[0042] The specific working principle is as follows: the conveying line 3 conveys a locked material box 2 to the unloading place of the conveying line 3, and the eleventh sensor 58 detects the existence of the material box 2 at the unloading place of the conveying line 3, and sends the eleventh sensor signal to the unloading control module to control the unloading transfer module 54 to perform the unloading and transfer operation. At this time, the blocking component 315 rises, and the conveying line conveying module 31 stops conveying. The unloading and transfer module 54 includes an unloading and transfer module 542 and an unloading suction component 541.
