Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of production assembly technology, and in particular to a static pressure buffer device and a static pressure buffer method. Background Technology

[0002] During product manufacturing and assembly, a static pressure holding process is typically performed, where the entire product or some components are placed in a pressure holding fixture and left to stand for a period of time. Similarly, in the dispensing process, after the adhesive is applied to the product, it is usually necessary to let the product stand to allow the adhesive to solidify and ensure product quality.

[0003] However, existing technologies for the static pressure holding process of products present numerous problems. Currently, the incoming material to be processed is typically placed manually into a pressure holding fixture, which is then moved to a static holding rack for the static holding process. During this process, operators must not only manually operate the opening and closing of the pressure holding fixture, but also remove the settled material from the fixture after the static holding process is complete, and then recycle the fixture for reuse. This manual operation method is not only inefficient but also time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Furthermore, existing static holding racks are themselves large and inconvenient to operate manually, thus requiring corresponding transportation devices for material handling. This not only increases the floor space required, limiting the utilization efficiency of the production site, but also increases production costs, hindering the optimization of the production process and the expansion of production scale.

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

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a static pressure buffer device that can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A static pressure buffer device, comprising:

[0008] The support frame is equipped with a feeding station, a waiting station and a discharging station. The feeding station is used to support materials, and the waiting station is used to support fixtures.

[0009] The opening and closing mechanism is configured to open or close the fixture;

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

[0011] The stationary mechanism has multiple stationary positions. The fixture containing the material at the waiting position can be conveyed to the stationary position. The fixture at the stationary position can be conveyed under its own weight. When the fixture is conveyed to the discharge position, the opening and closing mechanism can open the fixture, so that the feeding mechanism can remove the material from the fixture. The fixture in the unloaded state can be returned to the waiting position.

[0012] Optionally, the stationary mechanism includes a stationary frame and a receiving and conveying component. The stationary frame is disposed on the support frame, and the receiving and conveying component is movably connected to the stationary frame and configured to convey the fixture.

[0013] Optionally, the settling mechanism further includes a flow assembly disposed on the settling frame. The flow assembly includes at least two support members and a plurality of rotating members rotatably connected to the support members. The support members are inclined downward and are provided with a plurality of rotating members spaced apart along their own extension direction. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating members is configured to support the fixture.

[0014] Optionally, a plurality of stationary workstations are provided along the extension direction of the support member, and the flow assembly further includes a plurality of movable blocking members corresponding to the plurality of stationary workstations. The movable blocking members are movably disposed on the support member and are configured to selectively restrict the fixture in the previous stationary workstation from being conveyed downstream.

[0015] Optionally, the movable blocking member is rotatably disposed on the support member. Along the conveying direction of the fixture, the movable blocking member has a stop portion at one end near the upstream and is configured as a discharge end at one end near the downstream.

[0016] When the fixture is placed on the stationary station, the fixture presses down against the discharge end so that the stop rotates upward and abuts against the fixture in the previous stationary station to restrict its downstream transmission.

[0017] When the fixture on the stationary station slides out from the discharge end, under the weight of the movable blocking member, the stop rotates downward to disengage from the fixture in the previous stationary station.

[0018] Optionally, the fixture includes a lower box and an upper cover that are lockably connected, and the opening and closing mechanism includes an unlocking component and a gripping component. The unlocking component is used to unlock the upper cover from the lower box, and the gripping component is used to grip and move the upper cover to open or close the fixture.

[0019] Optionally, when the gripping component removes the upper cover, which is in an unlocked state, from the lower box, the feeding mechanism can move the material on the feeding station to the lower box. When the material is placed on the lower box, the gripping component can move the upper cover to the lower box 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 discharge station, the static detection mechanism can record the discharge time of the material. By comparing the time difference between the discharge time and the waiting time of the same material with a preset time, the static detection mechanism can determine whether the static time of the material meets the preset standard.

[0021] Another objective of this invention is to provide a static pressure buffering method that enables automatic placement, static treatment, retrieval of materials, and recycling of fixtures, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0022] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0023] A static pressure caching method, which uses the static pressure caching device described above, the static pressure caching method comprising:

[0024] The material is placed at the feeding station, and the opening and closing mechanism is activated to open the fixture at the waiting station.

[0025] The material on the feeding station is moved to the fixture on the waiting station by the feeding mechanism, and the fixture is closed by the opening and closing mechanism.

[0026] The fixture containing the material at the waiting station is transported to the settling station for settling.

[0027] The stationary fixture is transported to the discharge station and opened by the opening and closing mechanism.

[0028] The material is removed from the fixture by the feeding mechanism;

[0029] The unloaded jig is retrieved to the waiting station.

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

[0031] Determine whether the fixture has been successfully opened. If so, move the material on the feeding station to the fixture on the waiting station using the feeding mechanism.

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

[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0034] This invention provides a static pressure buffer device, comprising a support frame, an opening and closing mechanism, a feeding mechanism, and a settling mechanism. The support frame has an infeed station, a waiting station, and an outfeed station. The infeed station carries materials, and the waiting station carries fixtures. The opening and closing mechanism opens or closes the fixtures. The feeding mechanism moves materials from the infeed station to the open fixture at the waiting station. The settling mechanism transports the fixture containing materials to the settling station for settling. This invention, by incorporating the opening and closing mechanism, feeding mechanism, and settling mechanism, achieves automated material placement, settling, and removal, thereby improving the efficiency of static pressure holding during production assembly. This better meets the needs of large-scale production and avoids the low production efficiency caused by manual operation. Furthermore, multiple settling stations allow for simultaneous settling of multiple fixtures, further improving production efficiency. Since the fixtures at the settling stations can be transported without power under their own weight, no additional transport devices are required, thus reducing production costs. After the material has settled, the opening and closing mechanism reopens the fixture, and the feeding mechanism removes the material from the fixture. The unloaded fixture can then be automatically returned to the waiting station, further improving work efficiency and reducing manual operation. Through the above settings, the static pressure buffer device of this application can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

[0035] This invention also provides a static pressure buffering method: First, material is placed at the feeding station. An opening and closing mechanism opens the fixture at the waiting station, allowing material to be placed into the fixture subsequently, improving production efficiency and avoiding manual operation. A feeding mechanism moves the material from the feeding station to the fixture at the waiting station, and the opening and closing mechanism closes the fixture, ensuring stable placement of the material. The fixture containing material at the waiting station is transported to a settling station for settling. Then, the settling fixture is transported to the discharge station, where the opening and closing mechanism opens it, thus achieving automatic conveying and opening of the settling fixture for material removal in subsequent stages. The feeding mechanism removes the material from the fixture, and the empty fixture is returned to the waiting station, achieving automatic material removal and fixture recycling. Through the above setup, the static pressure buffering method of this application achieves automatic material placement, settling, removal, and fixture recycling, improving operational efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0057] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0058] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0059] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0060] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0061] During product manufacturing and assembly, a static pressure holding process is typically performed, where the entire product or some components are placed in a pressure holding fixture and left to stand for a period of time. Similarly, in the dispensing process, after the adhesive is applied to the product, it is usually necessary to let the product stand to allow the adhesive to solidify and ensure product quality.

[0062] However, existing technologies for the static pressure holding process of products present numerous problems. Currently, the incoming material to be processed is typically placed manually into a pressure holding fixture, which is then moved to a static holding rack for the static holding process. During this process, operators must not only manually operate the opening and closing of the pressure holding fixture, but also remove the settled material from the fixture after the static holding process is complete, and then recycle the fixture for reuse. This manual operation method is not only inefficient but also time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Furthermore, existing static holding racks are themselves large and inconvenient to operate manually, thus requiring corresponding transportation devices for material handling. This not only increases the floor space required, limiting the utilization efficiency of the production site, but also increases production costs, hindering the optimization of the production process and the expansion of production scale.

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

[0064] like Figures 1-18 As shown, this embodiment provides a static pressure buffer device, which includes a support frame 1, an opening and closing mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 3, and a stationary mechanism 4. The support frame 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 to the fixture 200 in the open state on the waiting station 12. The stationary mechanism 4 is provided with multiple stationary stations 41. The fixture 200 containing the material 100 on the waiting station 12 can be conveyed to the stationary station 41. The fixture 200 on the stationary station 41 can be conveyed under its own weight. When the fixture 200 is conveyed to the discharging station 13, the opening and closing mechanism 2 can open the fixture 200, so that the feeding mechanism 3 can remove the material 100 from the fixture 200. The fixture 200 in the unloaded state can be recycled back to the waiting station 12.

[0065] In this embodiment, the support frame 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 can open or close the fixture 200, the feeding mechanism 3 can move the material 100 on the feeding station 11 to the fixture 200 on the waiting station 12, and the settling mechanism 4 can transport the fixture 200 containing the material 100 to the settling station 41 for settling. That is, by setting the opening and closing mechanism 2, the feeding mechanism 3, and the settling mechanism 4, this application realizes the automatic placement, settling, and removal process of the material 100, thereby improving the efficiency of the settling and pressure holding process in the production assembly process, better meeting the needs of large-scale production, and avoiding the problem of low production efficiency caused by manual operation. Moreover, there are multiple settling stations 41, which can simultaneously perform settling processing on multiple fixtures 200, further improving production efficiency. Since the fixture 200 on the stationary station 41 can achieve non-powered conveying under its own weight, no additional transportation device is required, thus reducing production costs. After the material 100 has settled, the opening and closing mechanism 2 reopens the fixture 200, and the feeding mechanism 3 removes the material 100 from the fixture 200. The unloaded fixture 200 can be automatically returned to the waiting station 12, further improving work efficiency and reducing manual operation. Through the above settings, the static pressure buffer device in this embodiment can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

[0066] It should be noted that, as Figures 1-6 As shown, for ease of explanation of the coordination of the various mechanical components, in this embodiment, the X-axis and Y-axis are mutually perpendicular horizontal directions, and the Z-axis is a vertical direction. The feeding station 11, the waiting station 12, and the discharging station 13 are arranged sequentially at intervals along 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 to the ground; the above direction is not strictly limited here, as long as the aforementioned functions can be achieved.

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

[0068] Specifically, such as Figures 1-9As shown, the support frame 1 includes a base 14 and a feeding assembly 15 disposed on the base 14. The base 14 is provided with a feeding channel, through which multiple materials 100 are sequentially fed. The feeding assembly 15 includes a feeding drive motor, feeding rollers, and a feeding conveyor belt. The output end of the feeding motor is connected to the feeding rollers, enabling the feeding rollers to rotate. The outer peripheral wall of the feeding rollers is configured to abut against the feeding conveyor belt. The rotation of the feeding rollers drives the feeding conveyor belt to convey the materials 100 along the extension direction of the feeding channel. The feeding station 11 is disposed on the feeding conveyor belt, thereby realizing continuous feeding of the materials 100 and improving feeding efficiency. The feeding drive motor can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, which can precisely control the rotation speed of the feeding rollers, thereby ensuring that the materials 100 are stably and uniformly conveyed in the feeding channel.

[0069] More specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, the static pressure buffer device also 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 stop component and a placement detection component. When the material 100 is conveyed in the feeding channel, the stop component can stop the material 100. By setting the placement detection component, the correct placement state of the material 100 in the stop state is monitored. If the placement state of the material 100 is correct, the stop component will no longer interfere with the conveying of the material 100; if the placement state of the material 100 is incorrect, the material 100 in the stop state is manually placed correctly, or the material 100 is lifted, rotated, or flipped to be placed correctly to meet the incoming material requirements. Specifically, the above operations can be achieved by using cylinders, rotary motors, and mechanical grippers, and those skilled in the art are clear about the specific structure and working principle of the above components, which will not be described in detail here.

[0070] Understandably, the status detection mechanism 6 can monitor the placement status of material 100 in real time, including whether the front and rear ends, top and bottom surfaces of material 100 are placed correctly, thereby ensuring that material 100 is in the correct position before entering subsequent processes. The placement detection component can use photoelectric sensors or a machine vision system, which can detect the shape and position of material 100; the stopping component can use a pneumatic or electric cylinder, which is fast-responding and highly reliable. Once the placement detection component detects that material 100 is incorrectly placed, the stopping component will immediately stop material 100, preventing the erroneous material 100 from entering subsequent processes, thereby improving production stability and product quality, and avoiding production accidents and increased defect rates caused by incorrect placement of material 100.

[0071] More specifically, such as Figures 1-9As shown, along the extension direction of the feeding channel, a flip sensor, a rotation sensor, and a position sensor are sequentially provided on the base 14. The rotation sensor can detect whether the front and rear ends of the material 100 are correctly placed, the flip sensor can detect whether the top and bottom surfaces of the material 100 are correctly placed, and the position sensor is used to detect whether the material 100 has reached the preset position of the feeding station 11. When the position sensor detects that the material 100 of the feeding station 11 has been conveyed to the preset position, the feeding mechanism 3 operates to pick up the material 100 located at the preset position.

[0072] The flip sensor and rotation sensor can both be vision cameras or laser sensors, and the position sensor can be a proximity switch or a distance sensor. Those skilled in the art are familiar with the specific structure and working principle of the above components, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0073] Specifically, the static pressure buffer device also includes an ion fan 7, whose outlet is directed towards the feeding station 11. This effectively eliminates static electricity on the material 100, preventing the material 100 from being affected by static adsorption and thus hindering subsequent conveying and settling operations. Simultaneously, the ion fan 7's heat dissipation function reduces the temperature of the feeding station 11 and the material 100, extending the equipment's lifespan and improving the stability and reliability of the production process.

[0074] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeding driver 31 and a feeding assembly 32. The feeding driver 31 is mounted on the support frame 1, and the output end of the feeding driver 31 is connected to the feeding assembly 32, which can drive the feeding assembly 32 to move in three-dimensional space (i.e., along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis). The feeding assembly 32 is configured to pick up the material 100. Through the cooperation of the feeding driver 31 and the feeding assembly 32, the precise picking up and movement of the material 100 is 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 and is connected to the second feeding cylinder. The output end of the second feeding cylinder can move along the Y-axis 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. The rotary cylinder is connected to the feeding assembly 32, thereby realizing the movement of the feeding assembly 32 in three-dimensional space. Of course, it is understood that the feeding driver 31 can also be a motor module, and the movement of the feeding assembly 32 in three-dimensional space can be realized through the cooperation between the motor modules. The specific structure of the feeding driver 31 is not limited here.

[0076] The feeding assembly 32 includes a vacuum pump and a vacuum suction cup. The vacuum suction cup is located at the output end of the vacuum pump and is configured to pick up or lower material 100. A rotary cylinder can drive the vacuum suction cup to rotate. It can be understood that by setting a first feeding cylinder, a second feeding cylinder, and a feeding lifting cylinder, the material 100 adsorbed by the vacuum suction cup can be moved in three-dimensional space. Furthermore, by setting a rotary cylinder, the rotation angle of the vacuum suction cup 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 the feeding.

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

[0078] Specifically, such as Figures 1-11 As shown, the fixture 200 includes a lower housing 201 and an upper cover 202 that are lockably connected. The opening and closing mechanism 2 includes an unlocking component 21 and a gripping component 22. The unlocking component 21 is used to unlock the upper cover 202 from the lower housing 201, thus enabling the unlocking operation of the fixture 200. The gripping component 22 is used to grip and move the upper cover 202 to open or close the fixture 200, enabling the fixture 200 to open and close quickly, improving production efficiency and avoiding the inefficiency caused by manual operation.

[0079] The lower box 201 and the upper cover 202 can be connected by a snap fastener, which is not only secure but also easy to disassemble. No restrictions are placed on the locking connection method between the lower box 201 and the upper cover 202.

[0080] More specifically, when the gripping component 22 removes the upper cover 202, which is in the unlocked state, from the lower box 201, the feeding mechanism 3 can move the material 100 on the feeding station 11 to the lower box 201. When the material 100 is placed on the lower box 201, the gripping component 22 can move the upper cover 202 to the lower box 201 to close the fixture 200, ensuring that the material 100 can be accurately placed in the fixture 200 and that the fixture 200 is closed in a timely manner.

[0081] Specifically, the support frame 1 is equipped with a height-adjustable waiting platform, and the waiting platform is equipped with a waiting station 12. By adjusting the height of the waiting platform, the jig 200 on the waiting station 12 can be raised or lowered, thereby facilitating the picking and conveying of the jig 200 and the material 100, and improving the versatility and flexibility of the device.

[0082] like Figure 10 As shown, the lower box 201 has a latching part for latching the upper cover 202. The unlocking assembly 21 is located on the support frame 1 and includes a first lifting driver 211 and a first pushing driver 212. The first lifting driver 211 can drive the fixture 200 to rise and fall relative to the waiting platform. By raising the fixture 200, the fixture 200 is disengaged from the supporting surface of the waiting platform, facilitating subsequent conveying and unlocking operations. The output end of the first pushing driver 212 can move towards the latching part. When the output end of the first pushing driver 212 pushes against the latching part, the upper cover 202 is unlocked from the lower box 201. It can be understood that the cooperation of the first lifting driver 211 and the first pushing driver 212 allows for precise unlocking of the upper cover 202, improving the accuracy and reliability of the fixture 200's opening and closing operation. Both the first lifting driver 211 and the first pushing driver 212 can be pneumatic or electric cylinders, which will not be discussed further here.

[0083] Specifically, both opposite ends of the lower box 201 are provided with locking parts. The locking parts are movably connected to the lower box 201 by elastic elements (such as coil springs or coil springs) to ensure that the locking parts can be reset under the elastic force of the elastic elements without the interference of external forces, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the device. Moreover, there are two first push actuators 212, which are respectively located on both sides of the waiting platform. They can move towards the two locking parts one by one to unlock the upper cover 202. By having the two first push actuators 212 act on the two locking parts of the lower box 201 at the same time, the unlocking efficiency is improved, and the instability of the jig 200 caused by unlocking from one side is avoided.

[0084] Specifically, such as Figures 1-11 As shown, in this embodiment, the gripping component 22 is disposed on the support frame 1, including a second moving driver 221, a second lifting driver 222, and a clamping component 223. The output end of the second moving driver 221 is connected to the second lifting driver 222, enabling 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 component 223, enabling the clamping component 223 to move along the Z-axis direction. The clamping component 223 is configured to clamp the upper cover 202. It can be understood that through the cooperation of the second moving driver 221 and the second lifting driver 222, the clamping component 223 achieves precise movement in the Y-axis and Z-axis directions, accurately clamping the upper cover 202 and performing opening and closing operations.

[0085] The second moving drive 221 and the second lifting drive 222 can both be pneumatic cylinders or electric cylinders. The specific structure of the above components is not limited here, as long as they can achieve the above functions.

[0086] In other embodiments, the gripping component 22 may be a robotic arm, which can accurately grip and move the upper cover 202 to ensure the correct fit between the upper cover 202 and the lower box 201, avoiding the instability of manually placing materials 100 and closing the fixture 200, and improving the stability of production 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, enabling it to drive the two clamping plates to move towards or away from each other. When the two clamping plates move toward 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 disengages from the clamping plates. The clamping driver can be a cylinder or a motor, which can precisely control the opening and closing of the clamping plates, improving the accuracy and reliability of the clamping and preventing the upper cover 202 from falling or being damaged due to insecure clamping.

[0088] Specifically, such as Figures 1-12 As shown, the static pressure buffer device also includes a pick-and-place mechanism 8 disposed on the support frame 1. The pick-and-place mechanism 8 includes a pick-and-place driver 81 and a pick-and-place assembly 82, and is configured as a pick-and-place fixture 200. The output end of the pick-and-place driver 81 is connected to the pick-and-place assembly 82, and can drive the pick-and-place assembly 82 to move along the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions. When the fixture 200 on the waiting station 12 is not open, the pick-and-place driver 81 drives the pick-and-place assembly 82 to move to the pick-and-place position so that the pick-and-place assembly 82 can grasp the fixture 200 and move the unopened fixture 200 out of the waiting station 12, ensuring that the opening and closing state of the fixture 200 meets production requirements. Through the above settings, automatic pick-and-place of the fixture 200 can be achieved, improving production efficiency.

[0089] More specifically, the pick-and-place driver 81 includes a first pick-and-place driver, a second pick-and-place driver, and a third pick-and-place driver. The first pick-and-place driver is mounted on the support frame 1. The output end of the first pick-and-place driver is connected to the second driver and can drive the second driver to move along the Y-axis. The output end of the second driver is connected to the third driver and can drive the third driver to move along the Z-axis. The output end of the third driver is connected to the pick-and-place assembly 82 and can drive the pick-and-place assembly 82 to move along the X-axis. The pick-and-place assembly 82 includes a gripping driver and two pick-and-place components. The gripping driver can drive the two pick-and-place components to move towards or away from each other. When the two pick-and-place components move towards each other, the fixture 200 clamps between the two pick-and-place components; when the two pick-and-place components move away from each other, the fixture 200 disengages from the pick-and-place components. The gripping driver can be a cylinder or a motor, which can precisely control the opening and closing actions of the pick-and-place components, improving the accuracy and reliability of gripping. By setting a first pick-and-place driver, a second pick-and-place driver, and a third pick-and-place driver, the pick-and-place assembly 82 can move precisely in three-dimensional space, ensuring the accurate pick-and-place of the fixture 200.

[0090] The first pick-and-place drive, the second pick-and-place drive, and the third pick-and-place drive can all be cylinders or motors. The pick-and-place components can be pick-and-place plates or pick-and-place rods, etc. That is, as long as they can achieve the above functions, the specific structure of the above components will not be limited here.

[0091] Specifically, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the stationary mechanism 4 includes a stationary shelf 42 and a receiving and conveying assembly 43. The stationary shelf 42 is disposed on the support frame 1, and the receiving and conveying assembly 43 is movably connected to the stationary shelf 42 and configured to convey the fixture 200, thereby realizing the automatic conveying and stationary treatment of the fixture 200. The stationary shelf 42 is a multi-layer rack structure, which can accommodate multiple fixtures 200, improving space utilization.

[0092] More specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the receiving and conveying component 43 is adjustablely mounted on the stationary frame 42 along the Y-axis and Z-axis directions. This can be achieved through a motor module or a cylinder, which will not be explained in detail here.

[0093] The receiving and conveying assembly 43 includes a receiving and conveying driver and a conveyor belt. The output end of the receiving and conveying driver is connected to the conveyor belt and can drive the conveyor belt to move. When the fixture 200 is placed on the conveyor belt, the friction between the conveyor belt and the fixture 200 is used to realize the placement and conveying operation of the fixture 200, so that the fixture 200 containing the material 100 can enter and exit the stationary position 41, thereby realizing the automatic conveying of the fixture 200.

[0094] The receiving driver can be a stepper motor or a servo motor. There are no restrictions on the specific structure of the receiving driver, as long as it can achieve the above functions.

[0095] More specifically, such as Figures 1-13 As shown, two receiving components 43 are provided, respectively located at both ends of the stationary frame 42 along the X-axis direction, to realize the input and output of the fixture 200 respectively. It can be understood that through the above arrangement, bidirectional conveying of the fixture 200 is achieved, improving production efficiency. Of the two receiving components 43, the one closer to the feeding station 11 is used to convey the fixture 200 onto the stationary frame 42 for stationary processing, while the other receiving component 43 is used to convey the stationary fixture 200 out. This bidirectional conveying design avoids congestion of the fixture 200 and improves the operating efficiency of the stationary mechanism 4.

[0096] It is also understandable that the static pressure buffer device of this application can also realize the recycling of the jig 200, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the static pressure buffer device also includes a circulating conveyor belt 5, which extends along the X-axis and is located on one side of the stationary frame 42. It can be understood that there are two pick-and-place mechanisms 8, one of which is located at the waiting station 12 and the other is located at the discharge station 13. When the material 100 in the fixture 200 at the discharge station 13 is removed, the pick-and-place mechanism 8 clamps the closed empty fixture 200 onto the circulating conveyor belt 5, which then transports it to one side of the waiting station 12. The pick-and-place mechanism 8 located on one side of the waiting station 12 clamps the empty fixture 200 onto the waiting station 12.

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

[0098] Specifically, such as Figures 1-18 As shown, the static pressure buffer device also includes a pushing mechanism 9, which includes a pushing driver 91 and a feeding component 92. The pushing driver 91 is mounted on the support frame 1, and the output end of the pushing driver 91 is connected to the feeding component 92. It can drive the feeding component 92 to move to push the fixture 200 out of the waiting station 12, ensuring that the fixture 200 can smoothly enter the receiving and conveying component 43.

[0099] More specifically, the pusher driver 91 includes a feeding motor, a rotating wheel, and a conveyor belt. The output end of the feeding motor is connected to the rotating wheel, the conveyor belt is wound around the rotating wheel, and the feeding component 92 is a feeding rod connected to the conveyor belt. The feeding motor drives the rotating wheel to rotate, the rotating wheel drives the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt drives the feeding rod to move, thereby pushing the jig 200 from the waiting platform onto the conveyor belt of the receiving assembly 43. It can be understood that through the cooperation of the feeding motor, rotating wheel, and conveyor belt, the precise movement of the feeding rod is achieved, ensuring that the jig 200 can accurately enter the receiving assembly 43.

[0100] The feeding motor can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, which can precisely control the rotation speed of the wheel and ensure the stable movement speed of the conveyor belt. Of course, it is understood that in other embodiments, the feeding component 92 is a feeding plate, and the feeding motor drives the feeding plate to move through a nut and screw mechanism, thereby realizing the stable conveying of the fixture 200. The specific structure of the pusher driver 91 is not limited here, as long as it can achieve the above functions.

[0101] Specifically, such as Figures 1-17 As shown, the stationary mechanism 4 also includes a flow assembly 44 disposed on the stationary frame 42. The flow assembly 44 includes at least two support members 441 and multiple rotating members 442 rotatably connected to the support members 441. The support members 441 are inclined downwards and have multiple rotating members 442 spaced apart along their extension direction. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating members 442 is configured to support the fixture 200. When the fixture 200 containing the material 100 slides down under its own weight, it can drive the rotating members 442 to rotate, thereby reducing the resistance of the fixture 200 when sliding down and realizing the automatic flow and stationary placement of the fixture 200. Among them, the support members 441 are inclined downwards along the direction from the feeding station 11 to the discharging station 13 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 disposed on the stationary frame 42, and the rotating member 442 is a roller rotatably connected to the support plate. Multiple support plates are provided, with two support plates forming a group, enclosing and forming a mounting groove. The roller is rotatably disposed in the mounting groove and extends beyond the groove to abut against the fixture 200, ensuring stable flow of the fixture 200 on the stationary frame 42. The multiple rollers are spaced apart along the extension direction of the mounting groove, which can evenly distribute the weight of the fixture 200, reduce local pressure, prevent damage to the fixture 200 during flow, and improve the stability and reliability of the stationary 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 mounted on the support block. It is understood that the specific structure of the above components is not limited, as long as they can achieve the aforementioned functions.

[0104] Specifically, such as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, multiple stationary positions 41 are provided along the extension direction of the support member 441. The flow assembly 44 also includes multiple movable blocking members 443, each corresponding to one of the multiple stationary positions 41. The movable blocking members 443 are movably disposed on the support member 441 and are configured to selectively restrict the downstream conveyance of the fixture 200 in the previous stationary position 41. When the fixture 200 flows under its own weight, the selective restriction of the downstream conveyance of the fixture 200 in the previous stationary position 41 by the movable blocking members 443 enables the fixture 200 to be stationary and flowed step by step, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the stationary mechanism 4.

[0105] More specifically, the movable blocking member 443 is rotatably mounted on the support member 441. Along the conveying direction of the fixture 200, the movable blocking member 443 has a stop portion 4431 at its upstream end and a discharge end 4432 at its downstream end. When the fixture 200 is placed on the stationary station 41, the fixture 200 presses downward against the discharge end 4432, causing the stop portion 4431 to rotate upward and abut against the fixture 200 in the previous stationary station 41, thereby restricting its downstream conveying and allowing the stationary stationary station 200 to move forward. The fixture 200 on the station 41 achieves stationary operation; when the fixture 200 on the station 41 slides out from the discharge end 4432, under the weight of the movable blocking part 443, the stop part 4431 rotates downward to disengage from the fixture 200 in the previous station 41, and then no longer abuts against the fixture 200 in the previous station 41, so that the fixture 200 in the previous station 41 can slide to the next station 41, thereby realizing the stepwise flow of the fixture 200.

[0106] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the movable blocking members 443 are rotatably disposed between the support members 441 and a stationary station 41 is provided. Multiple movable blocking members 443 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the support members 441. Multiple fixtures 200 can be placed one-to-one on the multiple movable blocking members 443. The stop portion 4431 is configured to abut against the adjacent and upper fixture 200. By providing the stop portion 4431, the fixture 200 can be prevented from slipping during the stationary period, while the discharge end 4432 ensures that the fixture 200 smoothly enters the next stationary station 41 during the flow process. Through the above arrangement, the fixture 200 can be stationed and flowed step by step, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the stationary mechanism 4 and avoiding production stagnation caused by the accumulation of fixtures 200.

[0107] Specifically, in this embodiment, the movable blocking member 443 is a movable plate, with multiple spaced movable plates rotatably arranged between every two sets of support plates. 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, which is rotatably arranged between the support members 441. The specific structure of the movable blocking member 443 is not limited here, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0108] It is understandable that the mass of the end of the movable blocking member 443 with the stop part 4431 is heavier than that of 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 part 4431 moves downward so that the fixture 200 on the previous stationary station 41 is not blocked and can move downstream of the support member 441.

[0109] More specifically, a stop actuator is provided at the bottom end of the support member 441 (i.e., the very end of the support member 441 along the conveying direction). The output end of the stop actuator 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 confined in the corresponding stationary position 41, ensuring that the fixture 200 located at the bottom end remains stable during the stationary process. The stop actuator is selected from pneumatic cylinders or hydraulic cylinders, which can quickly extend and retract to ensure that the fixture 200 will not slip during the stationary process. The specific structure of the stop actuator is not limited here, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

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

[0111] More specifically, the support member 441 is inclined downwards and the angle between it and the ground is 0.5° to 1.5°, so that the fixture 200 can flow downwards under its own weight. This ensures that the fixture 200 flows smoothly under its own weight, avoiding the problem of the fixture 200 sliding down too quickly and being damaged due to an excessively large tilt angle, or the problem of the fixture 200 not flowing smoothly due to an excessively small tilt angle. This improves the operating efficiency and stability of the stationary mechanism 4.

[0112] In other embodiments, the movable stop 443 is slidably connected to the support 441 and configured to support the fixture 200. The flow assembly 44 also includes a sliding driver that drives the movable stop 443 to slide relative to the support 441. The movable stop 443 is driven to slide by the sliding driver, and the movement of the movable stop 443 drives the fixture 200 to be conveyed. This not only realizes step-by-step conveying and stationary operation, but also, through the cooperation of the sliding driver and the movable stop 443, it can selectively restrict the fixture 200 in the previous stationary station 41 from being conveyed downstream.

[0113] More specifically, in other embodiments, the movable stop 443 is a slider, and the sliding actuator is a cylinder. The slider is slidably connected to the support 441 and is located at the telescopic output end of the cylinder. Due to the friction between the slider and the fixture 200, the cylinder drives the slider to slide, thereby moving the fixture 200 on the slider, making the transfer of the fixture 200 more stable and reliable. Furthermore, the sliding actuator can also be a hydraulic cylinder; the specific structure of the sliding actuator is not limited here.

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

[0115] More specifically, in this embodiment, the static testing mechanism includes a barcode scanner, which scans 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 testing efficiency, and avoiding the tediousness and inaccuracy of manual time recording. In other embodiments, the static testing mechanism includes a vision inspection instrument, which identifies the label on the material 100 to record the corresponding time information.

[0116] Specifically, after the material 100 completes the settling operation through the settling mechanism 4, when the gripping component 22 located at the discharge station 13 moves the unlocked upper cover 202 from the lower box 201, the feeding mechanism 3 located at the discharge station 13 can move the material 100 on the discharge station 13 from the lower box 201, so that the gripping component 22 can move the upper cover 202 to the lower box 201 to close the fixture 200, ensuring that the material 100 can be smoothly taken out after settling and the fixture 200 can be closed again, improving the continuity and stability of production and avoiding the problems of production stagnation and increased defect rate caused by manual operation.

[0117] This embodiment also provides a static pressure buffering method, which uses the aforementioned static pressure buffering device to achieve automatic placement, static treatment, and retrieval of material 100, as well as the recycling of fixture 200, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing production costs. The static pressure buffering method specifically includes the following steps:

[0118] Material 100 is placed at the feeding station 11, and the opening and closing mechanism 2 is activated to open the fixture 200 on the waiting station 12.

[0119] In the above steps, multiple materials 100 are sequentially conveyed by the feeding conveyor belt to improve feeding efficiency. The material 100 at the feeding station 11 is blown by the ion fan 7. The unlocking component 21 is activated to unlock the upper cover 202 to the lower box 201. The gripping component 22 is activated to grip and move the upper cover 202, thereby opening the fixture 200 so that the material 100 can be placed in the fixture 200. This avoids the tediousness and inefficiency of manually opening the fixture 200 and improves production efficiency.

[0120] The material 100 on the feeding station 11 is moved to the fixture 200 on the waiting station 12 by the feeding mechanism 3, and the fixture 200 is closed by the opening and closing mechanism 2.

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

[0122] Before moving the material 100 on the feeding station 11 to the waiting station 12, the following steps are also included: determining whether the fixture 200 has been successfully opened. If so, the material 100 on the feeding station 11 is moved to the fixture 200 on the waiting station 12 by the feeding mechanism 3; if not, the fixture 200 is moved to the manual station.

[0123] Understandably, by determining whether jig 200 has been successfully opened, abnormal situations can be detected and handled promptly, avoiding subsequent operational failures or production stoppages caused by jig 200's failure to open, thus improving production stability and reliability. For jig 200s that have not been successfully opened, moving them to a manual workstation for processing ensures the continuity of the production process and reduces production losses caused by jig 200 malfunctions.

[0124] The fixture 200 containing material 100 at the waiting station 12 is transported to the settling station 41 for settling.

[0125] In the above steps, the pusher driver 91 is activated, driving the feeder 92 to move and push the fixture 200 from the waiting station 12 to the receiving component 43. The receiving component 43 then transports the fixture 200 containing the material 100 to the stationary station 41, ensuring that the fixture 200 can accurately and stably enter the stationary station 41 for stationary processing. For each flow assembly 44, multiple fixtures 200 are placed one-to-one on multiple movable blocking components 443. The fixtures 200 located at the bottom are confined to their corresponding stationary station 41, while the remaining fixtures 200 abut against the stop portions 4431 of the adjacent movable blocking components 443 located below, allowing multiple fixtures 200 to be placed in an orderly manner, improving space utilization and stationary processing efficiency.

[0126] The stationary fixture 200 is transported to the discharge station 13 after being left to stand, and the fixture 200 is opened by the opening and closing mechanism 2 at the discharge station 13.

[0127] In the above steps, the output end of the stop driver retracts to release the interference with the bottom fixture 200, allowing the fixture 200 to slide out from the corresponding discharge end 4432 to the receiving component 43 near the discharge station 13. At this time, the stop part 4431 of the movable blocking member 443 no longer interferes with the adjacent fixture 200 placed above. Multiple fixtures 200 can slide down to the adjacent stationary station 41 one by one, thereby achieving sequential conveying under their own weight. This not only improves the discharge efficiency and stability, but also eliminates the need for additional transportation devices, reducing production costs. Then, the receiving component 43 conveys the fixture 200 to the discharge station 13, the unlocking component 21 is activated, the upper cover 202 is unlocked to the lower box 201, and the gripping component 22 is activated to grip and move the upper cover 202, thereby opening the fixture 200. This reduces manual intervention and improves the smoothness and stability of the production process.

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

[0129] Determine whether fixture 200 has been successfully opened. If yes, proceed to the next step; otherwise, move fixture 200 to the manual workstation.

[0130] The material 100 is removed from the fixture 200 by the feeding mechanism 3.

[0131] The unloaded jig 200 is retrieved to the waiting station 12.

[0132] It should be noted that the two ends of the static pressure buffer device along the X-axis are the inlet and outlet of the material 100, respectively. In order to facilitate the operation of the material 100 and the fixture 200, the support frame 1 on both sides of the static mechanism 4 in the X-axis direction is equipped with an opening and closing mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 3, a static detection mechanism and a pick-and-place mechanism 8.

[0133] In the above steps, the pick-and-place driver 81 near the waiting station 12 is activated, driving the pick-and-place component 82 to move in three-dimensional space. The pick-and-place component 82 picks up the fixture 200 and moves it to the recycling conveyor belt. The recycling conveyor belt transports the fixture 200, which is in an empty state (i.e., without material 100), to the recycling position. The pick-and-place driver 81 near the feeding station 11 is activated, driving the pick-and-place component 82 to move in three-dimensional space until the pick-and-place component 82 is in the recycling position. The pick-and-place component 82 can pick up the fixture 200, and the movement of the pick-and-place component 82 drives the fixture 200 to move to the waiting station 12.

[0134] Understandably, the automated operation of the feeding mechanism 3 enables the precise removal of material 100 and the recycling of fixture 200, improving the efficiency and accuracy of material 100 removal and avoiding the tedious and inefficient manual removal of material 100 one by one. The empty fixture 200 is transported to the recycling position by the recycling conveyor belt and then sent to the waiting station 12 by the feeding mechanism 3 again, realizing the recycling of fixture 200, improving equipment utilization and reducing production costs.

[0135] In the above method, when the opening mechanism 2 opens the fixture 200, the success of the opening can be determined by a vision mechanism or manual judgment. This allows for quick and accurate assessment of the fixture's opening status, ensuring smooth production. If the fixture 200 opens successfully, the next step proceeds; otherwise, the unopened fixture 200 is moved to a manual workstation for processing, ensuring production efficiency and product quality while avoiding production stoppages and increased defect rates. Furthermore, those skilled in the art are familiar with the specific structure and working principle of the vision mechanism, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0136] It should be noted that the static pressure buffering method provided in this embodiment has the following advantages: First, the material 100 is placed at the feeding station 11, and the opening and closing mechanism 2 is activated to open the fixture 200 on the waiting station 12, so that the material 100 can be placed in the fixture 200 subsequently, which improves production efficiency and avoids manual operation; the material 100 on the feeding station 11 is moved to the fixture 200 on the waiting station 12 by the feeding mechanism 3, and the fixture 200 is closed by the opening and closing mechanism 2, ensuring that the material 100 is stably placed in the fixture 200; The fixture 200, containing material 100, at the waiting station 12 is conveyed to the settling station 41 for settling. After settling, the fixture 200 is conveyed to the discharge station 13, where the opening and closing mechanism 2 opens the fixture 200, thus achieving automatic conveying and opening of the fixture 200 after settling, allowing for the removal of material 100 in subsequent stages. The feeding mechanism 3 removes the material 100 from the fixture 200 and returns the unloaded fixture 200 to the waiting station 12, achieving automatic removal of material 100 and recycling of the fixture 200. Through the above setup, the static pressure buffering method of this embodiment achieves automatic placement, settling, removal, and recycling of material 100, improving operational efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0137] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
