Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of production and assembly, and particularly relates to a hydrostatic buffer device and a hydrostatic buffering method. Background Art

[0002] During the production and assembly process of products, static pressure holding treatment is usually carried out, that is, the whole product or some components are placed in a pressure holding fixture and left standing for a period of time. For example, in the dispensing process, after dispensing glue on the product, it is usually necessary to leave the product standing still to allow the glue to solidify and ensure the product quality.

[0003] However, there are many problems with the static pressure holding treatment of products in the prior art. Currently, the incoming materials to be processed are usually placed in a pressure holding fixture manually, and then the pressure holding fixture with the incoming materials is moved to a static rack for static operation. In this process, the operator not only has to manually operate the opening and closing of the pressure holding fixture, but also needs to take out the incoming materials that have completed the static operation from the pressure holding fixture and recycle the pressure holding fixture for reuse after the static operation is completed. This manual operation method is not only inefficient, but also time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. In addition, the existing static rack has a large self-structure and is inconvenient for manual operation, so it is necessary to cooperate with a corresponding transportation device to realize the feeding and discharging, which not only increases the floor space and limits the utilization efficiency of the production site, but also increases the production cost and is not conducive to the optimization of the production process and the expansion of the production scale.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hydrostatic buffer device and a hydrostatic buffering method to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hydrostatic buffer device, which can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

[0006] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A hydrostatic buffer device, comprising:

[0008] A carrier rack, provided with a feeding station, a waiting station and a discharging station, the feeding station is used for carrying materials, and the waiting station is used for carrying fixtures;

[0009] An opening and closing mechanism, configured to open or close the fixture;

[0010] A feeding mechanism, used to move the material on the feeding station to the fixture in the open state on the waiting station;

[0011] The static placement mechanism is provided with a plurality of static placement stations. The fixture containing the material can be transported to the static placement stations at the material waiting station. The fixture at the static placement stations can be transported under its own weight. When the fixture is transported to the discharging station, the opening and closing mechanism can open the fixture so that the feeding mechanism can remove the material in the fixture. The fixture in the unloaded state can be recycled to the material waiting station.

[0012] Optionally, the static placement mechanism includes a static placement rack and a pick-up and delivery assembly. The static placement rack is arranged on the bearing rack, and the pick-up and delivery assembly is movably connected to the static placement rack and is configured to transport the fixture.

[0013] Optionally, the static placement mechanism further includes a flow component arranged on the static placement rack. The flow component includes at least two support members and a plurality of rotating members rotatably connected to the support members. The support members are arranged obliquely downward and are provided with a plurality of the rotating members at intervals along the extension direction of the support members. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating member is configured to carry the fixture.

[0014] Optionally, a plurality of the static placement stations are arranged along the extension direction of the support members. The flow component further includes a plurality of movable blocking members corresponding to the plurality of static placement stations one by one. The movable blocking members are movably arranged on the support members and are configured to selectively limit the fixture in the previous static placement station from being conveyed downstream.

[0015] Optionally, the movable blocking member is rotatably arranged on the support member. Along the conveying direction of the fixture, a stop portion is provided at one end of the movable blocking member close to the upstream, and the end close to the downstream is configured as a discharging end;

[0016] When the fixture is placed on the static placement station, the fixture presses downward against the discharging end so that the stop portion rotates upward and abuts against the fixture in the previous static placement station to limit its conveyance downstream;

[0017] When the fixture on the static placement station slides out from the discharging end, under the action of the self-weight of the movable blocking member, the stop portion rotates downward to disengage from the fixture in the previous static placement station.

[0018] Optionally, the fixture includes a lower box body and an upper cover body that can be locked and connected. The opening and closing mechanism includes an unlocking component and a grasping component. The unlocking component is used to unlock the upper cover body from the lower box body, and the grasping component is used to grasp and move the upper cover body to open or close the fixture.

[0019] Optionally, when the gripping component removes the upper cover body in the unlocked state from the lower box body, the feeding mechanism can move the material on the feeding station to the lower box body. When the material is placed on the lower box body, the gripping component can move the upper cover body to the lower box body to close the fixture.

[0020] Optionally, the static pressure buffer device further includes a static detection mechanism. When the material is placed at the waiting station, the static detection mechanism can record the waiting time of the material. When the material is placed at the discharging station, the static detection mechanism can record the discharging time of the material. By comparing the time difference between the discharging time and the waiting time of the same material with a preset time through the static detection mechanism, it can be determined whether the static time of the material meets the preset standard.

[0021] Another object of the present invention is to provide a static pressure buffering method, which realizes the automatic placement, static treatment, removal of materials and the recycling of fixtures, improves the operation efficiency and reduces the production cost.

[0022] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0023] A static pressure buffering method, which uses the static pressure buffer device as described above. The static pressure buffering method includes:

[0024] Place the material at the feeding station, and the opening and closing mechanism operates to open the fixture at the waiting station;

[0025] Move the material on the feeding station to the fixture at the waiting station through the feeding mechanism, and close the fixture through the opening and closing mechanism;

[0026] Transport the fixture containing the material at the waiting station to the static station for static;

[0027] Transport the fixture after static to the discharging station, and open the fixture through the opening and closing mechanism;

[0028] Move the material in the fixture out through the feeding mechanism;

[0029] Recover the fixture in the no-load state to the waiting station.

[0030] Optionally, before moving the material on the feeding station to the waiting station, the following steps are further included:

[0031] Judge whether the fixture is successfully opened. If so, move the material on the feeding station to the fixture at the waiting station through the feeding mechanism;

[0032] If not, move the fixture to the manual station.

[0033] Advantages of the present invention:

[0034] The present invention provides a static pressure buffer device, which includes a carrier frame, an opening and closing mechanism, a feeding mechanism and a static placement mechanism. The carrier frame is provided with a feeding station, a waiting station and a discharging station. The feeding station is used to carry materials, and the waiting station is used to carry fixtures. The opening and closing mechanism can open or close the fixture, the feeding mechanism can move the materials on the feeding station into the fixture in the open state on the waiting station, and the static placement mechanism can transport the fixture containing the materials to the static placement station for static treatment. That is, through the setting of the opening and closing mechanism, the feeding mechanism and the static placement mechanism, the automatic placement, static placement and removal processes of the materials are realized, thereby improving the efficiency of the static pressure holding treatment in the production and assembly process, being able to better meet the needs of large-scale production, and avoiding the problem of low production efficiency caused by manual operation. Moreover, there are multiple static placement stations, which can perform static treatment on multiple fixtures simultaneously, further improving the production efficiency. Since the fixtures on the static placement station can achieve power-free transportation under their own weight and there is no need to additionally set up corresponding transportation devices, the production cost is reduced. After the materials are statically placed, the opening and closing mechanism opens the fixture again, the feeding mechanism moves the materials in the fixture out, and the fixture in the no-load state can be automatically recycled to the waiting station, further improving the operation efficiency and reducing the manual operation. Through the above settings, the static pressure buffer device of the present application can improve the production efficiency and reduce the production cost.

[0035] The present invention also provides a static pressure buffering method: First, place the materials on the feeding station, and the opening and closing mechanism operates to open the fixture on the waiting station so as to place the materials in the fixture subsequently, improving the production efficiency and avoiding manual operation; move the materials on the feeding station into the fixture on the waiting station through the feeding mechanism, and close the fixture through the opening and closing mechanism to ensure that the materials are stably placed in the fixture; transport the fixture containing the materials on the waiting station to the static placement station for static treatment, and then transport the statically treated fixture to the discharging station, and open the fixture through the opening and closing mechanism, thereby realizing the automatic transportation and opening operation of the fixture after static treatment for subsequent steps to take out the materials; move the materials in the fixture out through the feeding mechanism and recycle the fixture in the no-load state to the waiting station, realizing the automatic taking out of the materials and the recycling of the fixture. Through the above settings, the static pressure buffering method of the present application realizes the automatic placement, static treatment, taking out of the materials and the recycling of the fixture, improves the operation efficiency and reduces the production cost.

[0057] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, rather than all the structures.

[0058] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "connected", "connected" and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0059] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include direct contact between the first and second features, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but in contact through other features therebetween. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "above" and "on" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only means that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature being "below", "below" and "under" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only means that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.

[0060] In the description of this embodiment, the orientation or positional relationships such as "upper", "lower", "right", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings. These are only for the convenience of description and simplifying the operations, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and do not have special meanings.

[0061] During the production and assembly process of products, static pressure holding treatment is usually carried out, that is, the whole product or some components are placed in a pressure holding fixture and left static for a period of time. For example, in the dispensing process, after dispensing glue on the product, it is usually necessary to leave the product static to make the glue solidify and ensure the product quality.

[0062] However, there are many problems with the static pressure holding treatment of products in the prior art. Currently, it is usually an artificial way to place the incoming materials to be processed in a pressure holding fixture, and then move the pressure holding fixture with the incoming materials to a static rack for static operation. During this process, the operator not only has to manually operate the opening and closing actions of the pressure holding fixture, but also needs to take out the incoming materials that have completed static operation from the pressure holding fixture after the static operation is completed, and recycle the pressure holding fixture for reuse. This manual operation method is not only inefficient, but also time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. In addition, the existing static rack has a large self-structure and is inconvenient for manual operation. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with a corresponding transportation device to realize the feeding and discharging, which not only increases the floor space, limits the utilization efficiency of the production site, but also increases the production cost and is not conducive to the optimization of the production process and the expansion of the production scale.

[0063] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a static pressure buffering device and a static pressure buffering method to solve the above technical problems.

[0064] As Figures 1 - 18 shown, this embodiment provides a static pressure buffering device, which includes a carrier rack 1, an opening and closing mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 3 and a static mechanism 4. The carrier rack 1 is provided with a feeding station 11, a waiting station 12 and a discharging station 13. The feeding station 11 is used to carry the material 100, and the waiting station 12 is used to carry the fixture 200. The opening and closing mechanism 2 is configured to open or close the fixture 200. The feeding mechanism 3 is used to move the material 100 on the feeding station 11 into the fixture 200 in the open state on the waiting station 12. The static mechanism 4 is provided with a plurality of static stations 41. The fixture 200 containing the material 100 on the waiting station 12 can be transported to the static station 41. The fixture 200 on the static station 41 can be transported under its own weight. When the fixture 200 is transported to the discharging station 13, the opening and closing mechanism 2 can open the fixture 200, so that the feeding mechanism 3 can move out the material 100 in the fixture 200, and the fixture 200 in the no-load state can be recycled to the waiting station 12.

[0065] In this embodiment, the carrier 1 is provided with a feeding station 11, a waiting station 12 and a discharging station 13. The feeding station 11 is used to carry the material 100, and the waiting station 12 is used to carry the jig 200. The opening and closing mechanism 2 can open or close the jig 200, the feeding mechanism 3 can move the material 100 on the feeding station 11 into the jig 200 on the waiting station 12, and the static placement mechanism 4 can transport the jig 200 containing the material 100 to the static placement station 41 for static placement treatment. That is, by setting the opening and closing mechanism 2, the feeding mechanism 3 and the static placement mechanism 4 in this application, the automatic placement, static placement and removal processes of the material 100 are realized, thereby improving the efficiency of the static pressure holding treatment in the production and assembly process, being able to better meet the requirements of large-scale production, and avoiding the problem of low production efficiency caused by manual operation. Moreover, there are multiple static placement stations 41, which can perform static placement treatment on multiple jigs 200 simultaneously, further improving the production efficiency. Since the jig 200 on the static placement station 41 can achieve power-free transportation under its own weight and there is no need to additionally set up corresponding transportation devices, the production cost is reduced. After the material 100 is statically placed, the opening and closing mechanism 2 opens the jig 200 again, the feeding mechanism 3 removes the material 100 in the jig 200, and the jig 200 in the unloaded state can be automatically recycled to the waiting station 12, further improving the operation efficiency and reducing the manual operation. Through the above settings, the static pressure buffer device of this embodiment can improve the production efficiency and reduce the production cost.

[0066] It should be noted that, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, for the convenience of explaining the action coordination of each mechanical component. In this embodiment, the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction are horizontal directions perpendicular to each other, and the Z-axis direction is the vertical direction. Among them, the feeding station 11, the waiting station 12 and the discharging station 13 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction (i.e., the X-axis direction in the figure). In other embodiments, the X-axis direction can also be set at an angle with the ground, and no excessive limitation is made on the above directions as long as the above functions can be realized.

[0067] The specific structure of the static pressure buffer device will be described below:

[0068] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 9As shown in the figure, the carrier 1 includes a base 14 and a feeding assembly 15 disposed on the base 14. The base 14 is provided with a feeding channel which is configured to sequentially introduce a plurality of materials 100. The feeding assembly 15 includes a feeding drive motor, a feeding roller and a feeding conveyor belt. The output end of the feeding motor is connected to the feeding roller and can drive the feeding roller to rotate. The outer peripheral wall of the feeding roller is configured to abut against the feeding conveyor belt. When the feeding roller rotates, it can drive the feeding conveyor belt to convey the material 100 along the extension direction of the feeding channel. The feeding station 11 is arranged on the feeding conveyor belt, thus realizing the continuous feeding of the material 100 and improving the feeding efficiency. Among them, the feeding drive motor can be selected from a servo motor or a stepping motor, which can accurately control the rotation speed of the feeding roller, so as to ensure the stable and uniform conveyance of the material 100 in the feeding channel.

[0069] More specifically, as Figure 9 shown in the figure, the static pressure buffer device further includes a state detection mechanism 6 disposed on the base 14. The state detection mechanism 6 is used to detect the placement state of the material 100. The state detection mechanism 6 includes a blocking component and a placement detection component. When the material 100 is conveyed in the feeding channel, the blocking component can block the material 100. By setting the placement detection component, it is monitored whether the placement state of the material 100 in the blocked state is correct. If the placement state of the material 100 is correct, the blocking component will no longer interfere with the conveyance of the material 100; if the placement state of the material 100 is incorrect, the material 100 in the blocked state is placed correctly through manual operation, or the material 100 is lifted, rotated or flipped to make it placed correctly to meet the requirements of the incoming material. Among them, the above operations can be specifically realized by using a cylinder, a rotary motor and a mechanical claw, and those skilled in the art are familiar with the specific structures and working principles of the above components, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0070] It can be understood that the state detection mechanism 6 can monitor the placement state of the material 100 in real time, such as whether the front end and the rear end, the top surface and the bottom surface of the material 100 are placed correctly, so as to ensure that the material 100 is in the correct placement position before entering the subsequent process. Among them, the placement detection component can adopt a photoelectric sensor or a machine vision system, which can detect the shape and position of the material 100; the blocking component can adopt a cylinder or an electric cylinder, which has a rapid reaction and high reliability. Once the placement detection component finds that the material 100 is placed incorrectly, the blocking component will immediately block the material 100, preventing the incorrect material 100 from entering the subsequent process, thus improving the production stability and product quality, and avoiding the problems of production accidents and increased defective product rate caused by the incorrect placement of the material 100.

[0071] Even more specifically, as Figures 1 - 9As shown in the figure, along the extension direction of the feeding channel, a flipping sensor, a rotation sensor, and a positioning sensor are sequentially arranged on the base 14. The rotation sensor can detect whether the front end and the rear end of the material 100 are placed correctly. The flipping sensor can detect whether the top surface and the bottom surface of the material 100 are placed correctly. The positioning sensor is used to detect whether the material 100 reaches the preset position of the feeding station 11. When the positioning sensor detects that the material 100 at the feeding station 11 is conveyed to the preset position, the feeding mechanism 3 operates to pick up the material 100 located at the preset position.

[0072] Among them, both the flipping sensor and the rotation sensor can adopt a vision camera or a laser sensor, and the positioning sensor can adopt a proximity switch or a distance sensor. Those skilled in the art are familiar with the specific structures and working principles of the above components, and will not be elaborated here.

[0073] Specifically, the static pressure buffer device further includes an ion blower 7. The air outlet end of the ion blower 7 is arranged towards the feeding station 11, which can effectively eliminate the static electricity of the material 100 and prevent the material 100 from being affected by static electricity adsorption during subsequent conveying and static operations. At the same time, through the heat dissipation function of the ion blower 7, the temperature of the feeding station 11 and the material 100 can be reduced, the service life of the equipment can be extended, and the stability and reliability of the production process can be improved.

[0074] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeding driver 31 and a feeding component 32. The feeding driver 31 is arranged on the carrier 1. The output end of the feeding driver 31 is connected to the feeding component 32, and can drive the feeding component 32 to move in a three-dimensional space (i.e., along the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction). The feeding component 32 is configured to pick up the material 100. Through the cooperation of the feeding driver 31 and the feeding component 32, the precise picking and moving of the material 100 are realized.

[0075] More specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding driver 31 includes a first feeding cylinder, a second feeding cylinder, a rotary cylinder, and a feeding lifting cylinder. The output end of the first feeding cylinder moves along the X-axis direction and is connected to the second feeding cylinder. The output end of the second feeding cylinder can move along the Y-axis direction and is connected to the feeding lifting cylinder. The output end of the feeding lifting cylinder is connected to the rotary cylinder and can drive the rotary cylinder to move along the Z-axis direction. The rotary cylinder is connected to the feeding component 32, thereby realizing the movement of the feeding component 32 in a three-dimensional space. Of course, it can be understood that the feeding driver 31 can also adopt a motor module, and the movement of the feeding component 32 in a three-dimensional space is realized through the cooperation between the motor modules. The specific structure of the feeding driver 31 is not limited too much here.

[0076] The feeding assembly 32 includes a vacuum pump and a vacuum chuck. The vacuum chuck is arranged at the output end of the vacuum pump and is configured to suck or lower the material 100. The rotary cylinder can drive the vacuum chuck to rotate. It can be understood that by setting the first feeding cylinder, the second feeding cylinder and the feeding lifting cylinder, the material 100 adsorbed by the vacuum chuck can be driven to move in a three-dimensional space. By setting the rotary cylinder, the rotation angle of the vacuum chuck can be adjusted to better adapt to the placement direction of the material 100, improving the adsorption effect on the material 100 and further enhancing the accuracy and reliability of feeding.

[0077] In other embodiments, the feeding driver 31 can adopt a three-axis robotic arm, which can accurately move in the X, Y, and Z directions, ensuring that the feeding assembly 32 can accurately reach the position of the material 100 and pick up the material 100, improving the accuracy and flexibility of feeding and avoiding the instability of manual feeding. It can be understood that the specific structure of the feeding driver 31 is not limited as long as it can achieve the above functions.

[0078] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 11 shown, the fixture 200 includes a lower box body 201 and an upper cover body 202 that can be locked and connected. The opening and closing mechanism 2 includes an unlocking component 21 and a grasping component 22. The unlocking component 21 is used to unlock the upper cover body 202 from the lower box body 201, realizing the unlocking operation of the fixture 200. The grasping component 22 is used to grasp and move the upper cover body 202 to open or close the fixture 200, realizing the quick opening and closing of the fixture 200, improving the production efficiency and avoiding the problem of low efficiency caused by manual operation.

[0079] Among them, the lower box body 201 and the upper cover body 202 can be connected by a buckle, which is not only firmly connected but also easy to disassemble. The locking connection method between the lower box body 201 and the upper cover body 202 is not limited too much here.

[0080] More specifically, when the grasping component 22 moves the upper cover body 202 in the unlocked state out of the lower box body 201, the feeding mechanism 3 can move the material 100 on the feeding station 11 to the lower box body 201. When the material 100 is placed on the lower box body 201, the grasping component 22 can move the upper cover body 202 to the lower box body 201 to close the fixture 200, ensuring that the material 100 can be accurately placed in the fixture 200 and the fixture 200 can be closed in time.

[0081] Specifically, a height-adjustable waiting platform is provided on the carrier 1, and a waiting station 12 is provided on the waiting platform. By adjusting the height of the waiting platform itself, the fixture 200 on the waiting station 12 is driven to rise or fall, thus facilitating the picking up and conveying of the fixture 200 and the material 100, and improving the versatility and flexibility of the device.

[0082] As Figure 10 shown, the lower box body 201 is provided with a clamping portion for clamping the upper cover body 202. The unlocking assembly 21 is arranged on the carrier 1 and includes a first lifting driver 211 and a first pushing driver 212. The first lifting driver 211 can drive the jig 200 to lift relative to the material waiting platform. By driving the jig 200 to rise through the first lifting driver 211, the jig 200 is separated from the bearing surface of the material waiting platform, so as to facilitate subsequent operations such as conveying and unlocking the jig 200. The output end of the first pushing driver 212 can move towards the clamping portion. When the output end of the first pushing driver 212 pushes against the clamping portion, the upper cover body 202 is unlocked from the lower box body 201. It can be understood that through the cooperation of the first lifting driver 211 and the first pushing driver 212, the upper cover body 202 can be accurately unlocked, improving the accuracy and reliability of the opening and closing operations of the jig 200. Among them, both the first lifting driver 211 and the first pushing driver 212 can adopt air cylinders or electric cylinders, and no more details will be elaborated here.

[0083] Specifically, clamping portions are provided at both opposite ends of the lower box body 201. The clamping portions are movably connected to the lower box body 201 through elastic members (such as helical springs or torsion springs) to ensure that without the interference of external forces, the clamping portions can be reset under the elastic force of the elastic members, improving the stability and reliability of the device. Moreover, there are two first pushing drivers 212, and the two first pushing drivers 212 are respectively arranged on both sides of the material waiting platform and can move towards the two clamping portions one by one to unlock the upper cover body 202. By simultaneously acting on the two clamping portions of the lower box body 201 with the two first pushing drivers 212, the unlocking efficiency is improved, and the instability problem of the jig 200 caused by unilateral unlocking is avoided.

[0084] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 11 shown, in this embodiment, the grasping assembly 22 is arranged on the carrier 1 and includes a second moving driver 221, a second lifting driver 222, and a clamping assembly 223. The output end of the second moving driver 221 is connected to the second lifting driver 222 and can drive the second lifting driver 222 to move along the Y-axis direction. The output end of the second lifting driver 222 is connected to the clamping assembly 223 and can drive the clamping assembly 223 to move along the Z-axis direction. The clamping assembly 223 is configured to clamp the upper cover body 202. It can be understood that through the cooperation of the second moving driver 221 and the second lifting driver 222, precise movement of the clamping assembly 223 in the Y-axis and Z-axis directions is achieved, and the upper cover body 202 can be accurately clamped and opened and closed.

[0085] Among them, both the second moving driver 221 and the second lifting driver 222 can adopt air cylinders or electric cylinders. No more specific limitations on the structures of the above components will be made here, as long as the above functions can be achieved.

[0086] In other embodiments, the grasping assembly 22 may employ a robotic arm, which can accurately grasp the upper cover 202 and move it, ensuring the correct mating of the upper cover 202 and the lower box body 201, avoiding the instability of manually placing the material 100 and closing the jig 200, and improving the production stability and product quality.

[0087] More specifically, the clamping assembly 223 includes a clamping driver and two clamping plates slidably connected to the second lifting driver 222. The output end of the clamping driver is connected to the clamping plates and can drive the two clamping plates to move towards or away from each other. When the two clamping plates move towards each other, the upper cover 202 is clamped between the two clamping plates; when the two clamping plates move away from each other, the upper cover 202 is disengaged from the clamping plates. Among them, the clamping driver can adopt a cylinder or a motor, which can accurately control the opening and closing actions of the clamping plates, improving the accuracy and reliability of clamping, and avoiding the problem of the upper cover 202 falling or being damaged due to insecure clamping.

[0088] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 12 shown, the static pressure buffer device further includes a picking and placing mechanism 8 disposed on the carrier 1. The picking and placing mechanism 8 includes a picking and placing driver 81 and a picking and placing component 82, and is configured to pick and place the jig 200. The output end of the picking and placing driver 81 is connected to the picking and placing component 82 and can drive the picking and placing component 82 to move in the X-axis direction, Y-axis direction, and Z-axis direction. When the jig 200 on the waiting station 12 is not opened, the picking and placing driver 81 drives the picking and placing component 82 to move to the picking and placing position, so that the picking and placing component 82 can grasp the jig 200 and move the unopened jig 200 out of the waiting station 12 to ensure that the opening and closing state of the jig 200 meets the production requirements. Through the above settings, the automatic picking and placing of the jig 200 can be realized, improving the production efficiency.

[0089] More specifically, the pick-and-place driver 81 includes a first pick-and-place driving member, a second pick-and-place driving member, and a third pick-and-place driving member. The first pick-and-place driving member is disposed on the carrier 1. The output end of the first pick-and-place driving member is connected to the second driving member and can drive the second driving member to move in the Y-axis direction. The output end of the second driving member is connected to the third driving member and can drive the third driving member to move in the Z-axis direction. The output end of the third driving member is connected to the pick-and-place assembly 82 and can drive the pick-and-place assembly 82 to move in the X-axis direction. The pick-and-place assembly 82 includes a clamping driver and two pick-and-place members. The clamping driver can drive the two pick-and-place members to move towards or away from each other. When the two pick-and-place members move towards each other, the jig 200 is clamped between the two pick-and-place members; when the two pick-and-place members move away from each other, the jig 200 is separated from the pick-and-place members. The clamping driver can be a cylinder or a motor, which can accurately control the opening and closing actions of the pick-and-place members, improving the accuracy and reliability of clamping. By providing the first pick-and-place driving member, the second pick-and-place driving member, and the third pick-and-place driving member, the pick-and-place assembly 82 can accurately move in three-dimensional space, ensuring the accurate picking and placing of the jig 200.

[0090] Among them, the first pick-and-place driving member, the second pick-and-place driving member, and the third pick-and-place driving member can all be cylinders or motors. The pick-and-place members can be pick-and-place plates or pick-and-place rods, etc., that is, as long as the above functions can be achieved, the specific structures of the above components are not overly limited here.

[0091] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 8 shown, the static mechanism 4 includes a static rack 42 and a pick-up and delivery assembly 43. The static rack 42 is disposed on the carrier 1. The pick-up and delivery assembly 43 is movably connected to the static rack 42 and is configured to convey the jig 200, thereby realizing the automatic conveyance and static treatment of the jig 200. Among them, the static rack 42 is a multi-layer shelf structure, which can accommodate multiple jigs 200, improving the space utilization rate.

[0092] More specifically, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the pick-up and delivery assembly 43 is movably disposed on the static rack 42 in the Y-axis and Z-axis directions, and can be specifically realized by a motor module or a cylinder, which will not be elaborated here.

[0093] The pick-up and delivery assembly 43 includes a pick-up and delivery driver and a conveyor belt. The output end of the pick-up and delivery driver is connected to the conveyor belt and can drive the conveyor belt to move. When the jig 200 is placed on the conveyor belt, the placement and conveyance operations of the jig 200 are realized through the frictional force between the conveyor belt and the jig 200, enabling the jig 200 containing the material 100 to enter and exit the static station 41, thereby realizing the automatic conveyance of the jig 200.

[0094] Among them, the pick-up and delivery driver can be a stepper motor or a servo motor. There is no excessive limitation on the specific structure of the pick-up and delivery driver here, as long as it can achieve the above functions.

[0095] More specifically, as Figures 1 - 13 shown, there are two pick-up and delivery components 43, and the two pick-up and delivery components 43 are respectively arranged at both ends of the static rack 42 along the X-axis direction, so as to realize the input and output of the fixture 200 respectively. It can be understood that through the above settings, the two-way transportation of the fixture 200 is realized, improving the production efficiency. Among the two pick-up and delivery components 43, the pick-up and delivery component 43 close to the feeding station 11 is used to transport the fixture 200 to the static rack 42 for static treatment, and the other pick-up and delivery component 43 is used to transport the fixture 200 that has completed static treatment out. This two-way transportation design avoids the congestion of the fixture 200 and improves the operation efficiency of the static mechanism 4.

[0096] It can also be understood that the hydrostatic buffer device of the present application can also realize the recycling of the fixture 200. As Figures 3 - 7 shown, the hydrostatic buffer device further includes a circulating conveyor belt 5. The circulating conveyor belt 5 extends along the X-axis direction and is located on one side of the static rack 42. It can be understood that there are two pick-and-place mechanisms 8. One pick-and-place mechanism 8 is located at the waiting material station 12, and the other pick-and-place mechanism 8 is located at the discharging station 13. After the material 100 in the fixture 200 at the discharging station 13 is taken away, the pick-and-place mechanism 8 clamps the covered empty fixture 200 and places it on the circulating conveyor belt 5. The circulating conveyor belt 5 transports it to one side of the waiting material station 12, and the pick-and-place mechanism 8 located on one side of the waiting material station 12 clamps the empty fixture 200 and places it at the waiting material station 12.

[0097] It can also be understood that in order to facilitate the removal of the material 100 placed in the fixture 200 at the discharging station 13, an opening and closing mechanism 2 is also provided at the discharging station 13 to open the fixture 200. The specific structure and working process can refer to the above description of the opening and closing mechanism 2, and will not be elaborated here.

[0098] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 18 shown, the hydrostatic buffer device further includes a pushing mechanism 9. The pushing mechanism 9 includes a pushing driver 91 and a feeding member 92. The pushing driver 91 is arranged on the bearing frame 1, and the output end of the pushing driver 91 is connected to the feeding member 92, which can drive the feeding member 92 to move to push the fixture 200 out from the waiting material station 12 to ensure that the fixture 200 can smoothly enter the pick-up and delivery component 43.

[0099] More specifically, the pusher driver 91 includes a feeding motor, a runner, and a conveyor belt. The output end of the feeding motor is connected to the runner, and the conveyor belt is wound around the runner. The feeding member 92 is a feeding rod and is connected to the conveyor belt. By driving the runner to rotate with the feeding motor, the rotation of the runner drives the conveyor belt to move, and the movement of the conveyor belt drives the feeding rod to move, thereby pushing the fixture 200 from the waiting material platform to the conveyor belt of the receiving and sending assembly 43. It can be understood that through the cooperation of the feeding motor, the runner, and the conveyor belt, the precise movement of the feeding rod is achieved, ensuring that the fixture 200 can accurately enter the receiving and sending assembly 43.

[0100] Among them, the feeding motor can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, which can precisely control the rotation speed of the runner and ensure the stable movement speed of the conveyor belt. Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the feeding member 92 is a feeding plate, and the feeding motor drives the feeding plate to move through a nut-screw mechanism, thereby realizing the stable transportation of the fixture 200. Here, the specific structure of the pusher driver 91 is not overly limited as long as the above functions can be achieved.

[0101] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 17 shown, the static mechanism 4 further includes a fluent component 44 provided on the static rack 42. The fluent component 44 includes at least two support members 441 and a plurality of rotating members 442 rotatably connected to the support members 441. The support members 441 are arranged obliquely downward and are provided with a plurality of rotating members 442 at intervals along their own extension directions. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating member 442 is configured to carry the fixture 200. When the fixture 200 containing the material 100 slides downward under its own weight, it can drive the rotating member 442 to rotate, thereby reducing the resistance when the fixture 200 slides and realizing the automatic flow and static placement of the fixture 200. Among them, along the direction from the feeding station 11 to the discharging station 13, the support members 441 are arranged obliquely downward to ensure that the fixture 200 automatically flows in a preset direction under its own weight.

[0102] More specifically, in this embodiment, the support member 441 includes a support plate, the support plate is provided on the static rack 42, and the rotating member 442 is a roller, and the roller is rotatably connected to the support plate. Among them, there are a plurality of support plates, and two support plates form a group and enclose to form an installation groove. The roller is rotatably arranged in the installation groove and extends out of the installation groove for abutting against the fixture 200, which can ensure the stable flow of the fixture 200 on the static rack 42. The plurality of rollers are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the installation groove, which can evenly disperse the weight of the fixture 200, reduce the local pressure, avoid damage to the fixture 200 during the flow process, and improve the stability and reliability of the static mechanism 4.

[0103] In other embodiments, the support member 441 is a support block, and the rotating member 442 is a roller, which is rotatably arranged on the support block. It can be understood that the specific structures of the above components are not limited as long as the above functions can be achieved.

[0104] Specifically, as Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, a plurality of static stations 41 are provided along the extending direction of the support member 441. The flow assembly 44 further includes a plurality of movable blocking members 443 corresponding to the plurality of static stations 41 one by one. The movable blocking members 443 are movably arranged on the support member 441, and are configured to selectively restrict the fixture 200 in the previous static station 41 from being conveyed downstream. When the fixture 200 flows under its own weight, by selectively restricting the fixture 200 in the previous static station 41 from being conveyed downstream through the movable blocking member 443, the step-by-step static and flow of the fixture 200 can be realized, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the static mechanism 4.

[0105] More specifically, the movable blocking member 443 is rotatably arranged on the support member 441. Along the conveying direction of the fixture 200, a stop portion 4431 is provided at one end of the movable blocking member 443 close to the upstream, and the end close to the downstream is configured as a discharge end 4432; when the fixture 200 is placed on the static station 41, the fixture 200 presses down against the discharge end 4432, so that the stop portion 4431 rotates upward and abuts against the fixture 200 in the previous static station 41 to restrict its downstream conveyance, so that the fixture 200 on the static station 41 realizes the static operation; when the fixture 200 on the static station 41 slides out from the discharge end 4432, under the action of the self-weight of the movable blocking member 443, the stop portion 4431 rotates downward to disengage from the fixture 200 in the previous static station 41, and thus no longer abuts against the fixture 200 in the previous static station 41, so that the fixture 200 in the previous static station 41 can slide into the next static station 41, thereby realizing the step-by-step flow of the fixture 200.

[0106] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the movable blocking members 443 are rotatably arranged between the support members 441, and the static stations 41 are provided. The plurality of movable blocking members 443 are spaced along the extending direction of the support member 441, and the plurality of fixtures 200 can be correspondingly placed on the plurality of movable blocking members 443 one by one. The stop portion 4431 is configured to abut against the adjacent fixture 200 placed above. By providing the stop portion 4431, it is possible to prevent the fixture 200 from slipping during the static process, and the discharge end 4432 can ensure that the fixture 200 smoothly enters the next static station 41 during the flow process. Through the above settings, the step-by-step static and flow of the fixture 200 can be realized, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the static mechanism 4 and avoiding the production stagnation problem caused by the accumulation of the fixture 200.

[0107] Specifically, in this embodiment, the movable blocking member 443 is a movable plate. A plurality of movable plates are rotatably arranged between every two groups of support plates at intervals. One end of the movable plate is bent upward to form a stop portion 4431, and the other end extends smoothly to form a discharge end 4432. In other embodiments, the movable blocking member 443 is a movable block, and the movable block is rotatably arranged between the support members 441. The specific structure of the movable blocking member 443 is not limited too much here, as long as the above functions can be achieved.

[0108] It can be understood that the end of the movable blocking member 443 with the stop portion 4431 is heavier than the discharge end 4432. When the discharge end 4432 is not pressed by the fixture 200, the end of the movable blocking member 443 with the stop portion 4431 moves downward, so that the fixture 200 on the previous static station 41 will not be blocked and can move downstream of the support member 441.

[0109] More specifically, a stop driver is provided at the bottom end of the support member 441 (i.e., the most end of the support member 441 along the conveying direction). The output end of the stop driver can extend to limit the fixture 200 located at the bottom end, so that the fixture 200 located at the bottom end of the support member 441 is limited in the corresponding static station 41, ensuring that the fixture 200 located at the bottom end remains stable during the static process. Among them, the stop driver is selected as a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, which can extend and retract quickly to ensure that the fixture 200 will not slip during the static process. The specific structure of the stop driver is not limited too much here, as long as the above functions can be achieved.

[0110] Specifically, when the fixture 200 located at the bottom end slides out from the corresponding discharge end 4432, the stop portion 4431 of the movable blocking member 443 no longer interferes with the adjacent fixture 200 placed above, and a plurality of fixtures 200 can slide down to the adjacent static stations 41 one by one. Through this step-by-step flow setting, the orderly flow of the fixtures 200 during the static process is ensured.

[0111] More specifically, the support member 441 is inclined downward, and the included angle with the ground is 0.5° - 1.5°, so that the fixture 200 can flow downward in turn under its own weight, ensuring that the fixture 200 can flow smoothly under its own weight, avoiding the problem that the fixture 200 slides too fast and is damaged due to too large an inclination angle, or the problem that the fixture 200 does not flow smoothly due to too small an inclination angle, and improving the operation efficiency and stability of the static mechanism 4.

[0112] In other embodiments, the movable stopper 443 is slidably connected to the support member 441 and is configured to support the jig 200. The fluent component 44 further includes a sliding driver for driving the movable stopper 443 to slide relative to the support member 441. By driving the movable stopper 443 to slide through the sliding driver, the movement of the movable stopper 443 drives the conveyance of the jig 200. This not only achieves step-by-step conveyance and static operation, but also, through the mutual cooperation of the sliding driver and the movable stopper 443, can selectively restrict the jig 200 in the previous static station 41 from being conveyed downstream.

[0113] More specifically, in other embodiments, the movable stopper 443 is a slider, and the sliding driver is a cylinder. The slider is slidably connected to the support member 441 and is disposed at the telescopic output end of the cylinder. Since there is friction between the slider and the jig 200, driving the slider to slide through the cylinder and then driving the jig 200 on the slider to move makes the conveyance of the jig 200 more stable and reliable. In addition, the sliding driver can also be a hydraulic cylinder, and the specific structure of the sliding driver is not overly limited herein.

[0114] Specifically, the static pressure buffer device further includes a static detection mechanism. When the material 100 is placed at the waiting material station 12, the static detection mechanism can record the waiting time of the material 100. When the material 100 is placed at the discharging station 13, the static detection mechanism can record the discharging time of the material 100. By comparing the time difference between the discharging time and the waiting time of the same material 100 with a preset time through the static detection mechanism, it can be determined whether the static time of the material 100 meets the preset standard, ensuring that the static treatment of the material 100 meets the process requirements, improving the production stability and product quality, and avoiding product quality problems caused by insufficient or excessive static time.

[0115] More specifically, in this embodiment, the static detection mechanism includes a barcode scanner, which is used to scan the QR code on the material 100 to record the waiting time and discharging time of the material 100, ensuring the accuracy of time recording, improving the detection efficiency, and avoiding the cumbersome and inaccurate problem of manual time recording. In other embodiments, the static detection mechanism includes a vision detector, which identifies the label on the material 100 to record the corresponding time information.

[0116] Specifically, after the material 100 completes the static placement operation through the static placement mechanism 4, when the grasping component 22 at the discharging station 13 removes the unlocked upper cover 202 from the lower box body 201, the feeding mechanism 3 at the discharging station 13 can remove the material 100 at the discharging station 13 from the lower box body 201, enabling the grasping component 22 to move the upper cover 202 to the lower box body 201 to close the fixture 200. This ensures that the material 100 can be smoothly taken out after static placement and the fixture 200 can be closed again, improving the continuity and stability of production and avoiding production stagnation and increased defective rate caused by manual operation.

[0117] This embodiment also provides a hydrostatic buffering method, which uses the above hydrostatic buffering device to realize the automatic placement, static treatment, removal of the material 100, and the recycling of the fixture 200, improving the operation efficiency and reducing the production cost. The hydrostatic buffering method specifically includes the following steps:

[0118] Place the material 100 at the feeding station 11, and the opening and closing mechanism 2 operates to open the fixture 200 at the waiting station 12.

[0119] In the above step, multiple materials 100 are sequentially conveyed through the feeding conveyor belt to improve the feeding efficiency, and the ion blower 7 blows air on the material 100 at the feeding station 11. The unlocking component 21 operates to unlock the upper cover 202 from the lower box body 201, and the grasping component 22 operates to grasp and move the upper cover 202, thereby opening the fixture 200 to facilitate the subsequent placement of the material 100 into the fixture 200, avoiding the cumbersome and inefficient manual opening of the fixture 200 and improving the production efficiency.

[0120] The feeding mechanism 3 moves the material 100 at the feeding station 11 into the fixture 200 at the waiting station 12, and the opening and closing mechanism 2 closes the fixture 200.

[0121] In the above step, when the material 100 is conveyed to the preset position, the feeding mechanism 3 operates to pick up the material 100 at the preset position and place the material 100 on the lower box body 201, thereby accurately moving the material 100 from the feeding station 11 to the fixture 200 at the waiting station 12, improving the accuracy and speed of the material 100 transfer and avoiding problems such as inaccurate placement and low efficiency that may occur during manual placement of the material 100; then the grasping component 22 grasps and moves the upper cover 202 to close the fixture 200, and the unlocking component 21 operates to lock the upper cover 202 to the lower box body 201, ensuring the stable placement of the material 100 in the fixture 200 and providing a reliable guarantee for the subsequent static treatment, further improving the production efficiency and the stability of the product quality.

[0122] Before moving the material 100 on the feeding station 11 to the waiting station 12, the following steps are further included: determining whether the jig 200 is successfully opened; if so, moving the material 100 on the feeding station 11 into the jig 200 on the waiting station 12 through the feeding mechanism 3; if not, moving the jig 200 to the manual station.

[0123] It can be understood that by determining whether the jig 200 is successfully opened, abnormal situations can be detected and processed in a timely manner, avoiding subsequent operation failures or production stagnation problems caused by the unsuccessful opening of the jig 200, and improving the stability and reliability of production. For the jig 200 that fails to open successfully, moving it to the manual station for processing can ensure the continuity of the production process and reduce production losses caused by jig 200 failures.

[0124] The jig 200 containing the material 100 on the waiting station 12 is transported to the static station 41 for static placement.

[0125] In the above steps, the pusher driver 91 operates to drive the pusher 92 to move, pushing the jig 200 from the waiting station 12 to the pick-up and delivery assembly 43, and the pick-up and delivery assembly 43 transports the jig 200 containing the material 100 into the static station 41, ensuring that the jig 200 can accurately and stably enter the static station 41 for static processing. For each flow component 44, multiple jigs 200 are placed on multiple movable stoppers 443 one by one. The jig 200 at the bottom is limited in the corresponding static station 41, and the remaining jigs 200 respectively abut against the stop portions 4431 of the adjacent movable stoppers 443 located below, enabling multiple jigs 200 to be placed orderly, improving the space utilization rate and static processing efficiency.

[0126] The static jig 200 is transported to the discharging station 13, and the jig 200 is opened through the opening and closing mechanism 2 at the discharging station 13.

[0127] In the above steps, the output end of the stopper driver retracts to release the interference on the fixture 200 at the bottom end, enabling the fixture 200 to slide out from the corresponding discharge end 4432 to the pick-up and delivery assembly 43 near the discharge station 13. At this time, the stopper portion 4431 of the movable stopper 443 no longer interferes with the adjacent fixture 200 placed above. Multiple fixtures 200 can slide down one by one into the adjacent static stations 41, thus achieving sequential conveyance under their own weight. This not only improves the discharge efficiency and stability but also eliminates the need for an additional transportation device, reducing production costs. Then, the pick-up and delivery assembly 43 transports the fixture 200 to the discharge station 13. The unlocking assembly 21 operates to unlock the upper cover 202 from the lower box 201, and through the operation of the grasping assembly 22, the upper cover 202 is grasped and moved, thereby opening the fixture 200, reducing manual intervention, and improving the smoothness and stability of the production process.

[0128] It should be noted that when opening the fixture 200 through the opening and closing mechanism 2, the following steps are also included:

[0129] Judge whether the fixture 200 is successfully opened. If so, jump to the next step; if not, move the fixture 200 to the manual station.

[0130] Remove the material 100 in the fixture 200 through the feeding mechanism 3.

[0131] Recycle the fixture 200 in the no-load state to the waiting material station 12.

[0132] It should be noted that the two ends of the hydrostatic buffer device in the X-axis direction are respectively the inlet and outlet of the material 100. To facilitate the operation of the material 100 and the fixture 200, on both sides of the static mechanism 4 in the X-axis direction, the carrying rack 1 is provided with an opening and closing mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 3, a static detection mechanism, and a picking and placing mechanism 8.

[0133] In the above steps, the picking and placing driver 81 near the waiting material station 12 operates to drive the picking and placing assembly 82 to move in three-dimensional space. The picking and placing assembly 82 picks up the fixture 200 and moves it to the recycling conveyor belt. The recycling conveyor belt transports the fixture 200 in the no-load state (i.e., without accommodating the material 100) to the recycling position. And through the operation of the picking and placing driver 81 near the feeding station 11, the picking and placing assembly 82 is driven to move in three-dimensional space until the picking and placing assembly 82 is located at the recycling position. The picking and placing assembly 82 can pick up the fixture 200, and the picking and placing assembly 82 drives the fixture 200 to move to the waiting material station 12.

[0134] It can be understood that through the automated operation of the feeding mechanism 3, the precise extraction of the material 100 and the recycling of the fixture 200 are achieved, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the extraction of the material 100 and avoiding the cumbersome and inefficient manual extraction of the material 100 one by one; the empty fixture 200 is conveyed to the recycling position through the recycling conveyor belt, and the fixture 200 is sent to the waiting station 12 again through the feeding mechanism 3, realizing the recycling of the fixture 200, improving the equipment utilization rate and reducing the production cost.

[0135] In the above method, when the opening and closing mechanism 2 opens the fixture 200, it is possible to judge whether the fixture 200 is successfully opened through the vision mechanism or manual judgment, quickly and accurately judge the opening state of the fixture 200, and ensure the smooth progress of the production process; if the fixture 200 is successfully opened, the corresponding next step is carried out; otherwise, the unopened fixture 200 is moved to the manual station for processing, ensuring the production efficiency and product quality and avoiding the problems of production stagnation and increased defective rate. Moreover, those skilled in the art are familiar with the specific structure and working principle of the vision mechanism, which will not be elaborated here.
