[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] On the one hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides a material handling fixture 1, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes a main body seat 11, wherein:

[0032] The upper portion of the main base 11 is provided with a clamping portion 111 for the material transfer device 2 to clamp. The lower portion of the main base 11 is slidably connected to (at least) two support blocks 12 for extending into the interior of the product 5. A driving block 13 is provided between the two support blocks 12 for driving the support blocks 12 to expand outward to hold the product 5 tightly.

[0033] The middle part of the main seat 11 is provided with a driving rod 14, the bottom of the driving rod 14 is connected with a driving block 13, and the inside of the taking and placing clamp 1 is provided with a reset member for resetting the supporting block 12.

[0034] In use, first, the material transfer equipment 2 clamps the taking and placing clamp 1 (specifically, the clamping part 111 can be clamped), then moves to the taking position, drives the driving rod 14, and since the bottom of the driving rod 14 is connected with the driving block 13, the driving block 13 is also driven, so that the driving block 13 drives the supporting block 12 to open outward to tightly support the product 5, and the taking is completed; after taking, the material transfer equipment 2 sends the taking and placing clamp 1 and the product 5 to the processing equipment 4 (such as an oil coating equipment), then the material transfer equipment 2 lowers the taking and placing clamp 1 and the product 5 together, and the product 5 is processed (such as being coated with oil) by the processing equipment 4; after the processing of the product 5 is completed, the material transfer equipment 2 clamps the taking and placing clamp 1 again, so as to drive the processed product 5 to move to the placing position, release the driving rod 14 to stop driving the supporting block 12, at this time, the reset member in the taking and placing clamp 1 resets the supporting block 12, and the product 5 automatically falls to the placing position, so that the placing is completed. The product 5 can be various ring-shaped products, such as watch rings, middle frames of (smart) watches and the like.

[0035] The taking and placing clamp 1 of the embodiment of the application comprises a main seat 11, the upper part of the main seat 11 is provided with a clamping part 111 for clamping by the material transfer equipment 2, the lower part of the main seat 11 is slidably connected with two supporting blocks 12 for extending into the product 5, the two supporting blocks 12 can internally fix the product 5, the middle part of the main seat 11 is provided with a driving rod 14, the bottom of the driving rod 14 is connected with a driving block 13, and the taking and placing clamp 1 is provided with a reset member for resetting the supporting block 12, so that for the product 5 which needs to be processed by ink, the product 5 is different from being manually taken out from a tray and placed into a processing equipment, the application designs a universal taking and placing clamp 1, the taking and placing clamp 1 internally fixes and takes and places the product 5, so that the taking and placing of the product 5 can be completed without manually contacting the product processing surface, and the product yield and processing efficiency are improved.

[0036] As shown in FIG. Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of the application, the clamping part 111 can be a clamping groove as shown in the figure, which is convenient to process and firmly clamps, or can be other connecting structures which can achieve the clamping purpose. The length direction sides of the main seat 11 can each be provided with a transversely outwardly extending pressure claw 112 (the number of the pressure claws 112 can be flexibly set according to requirements, in the embodiment shown in the figure, there are four pressure claws 112, two on each length direction side of the main seat 11) for pressing the upper end surface of the product 5, which can prevent the product 5 from shaking in the processing process and enhance the fixing effect.

[0037] The two supporting blocks 12 are connected to the lower part of the main body seat 11 in various forms, such as dovetail groove connection, but in some embodiments of the present application, the bottom of the main body seat 11 is provided with two extension walls 114, the two supporting blocks 12 slide relative to each other in the space formed by the two extension walls 114, and the two extension walls 114 are provided with sliding holes 1141 along the length direction of the extension walls 114, and the two supporting blocks 12 are provided with connecting holes 124, and the limiting pin 122 penetrates the sliding holes 1141 and the connecting holes 124.

[0038] In this way, when the two supporting blocks 12 move relative to each other, the two supporting blocks 12 drive the limiting pin 122 to slide in the sliding hole 1141, and the sliding hole 1141 can be an oblong hole, and the length of the sliding hole 1141 limits the movement distance of the supporting block 12, thereby preventing the product from being deformed by excessive tension.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving rod 14 can be provided with an annular protrusion 141, and the main body seat 11 is provided with a limiting step 115 matched with the annular protrusion 141 to prevent the annular protrusion 141 from moving downward, thereby limiting the movement range of the driving rod 14; in specific implementation, the driving rod 14 can be a high bolt as shown in the figure, which is convenient to combine with the driving block 13 (that is, the driving rod 14 is threadedly connected with the driving block 13), and the annular protrusion 141 can be integrally arranged on the driving rod 14, or a nut can be used as the annular protrusion 141 as shown in the figure, so that the position of the annular protrusion 141 can be adjusted flexibly, and the use is more convenient.

[0040] The driving block 13 drives the supporting block 12 to open outward in various forms, and the embodiments of the present application include the following two structural forms:

[0041] Structural form one

[0042] As shown in the figure, Figures 1-3 The two sides of the driving block 13 are provided with first wedge surfaces 131, and the two supporting blocks 12 are provided with second wedge surfaces 121 matched with the first wedge surfaces 131. In this way, the driving block 13 and the two supporting blocks 12 are matched at a certain angle (that is, the first wedge surface 131 and the second wedge surface 121 are matched with each other), so that when the driving block 13 moves downward, the two supporting blocks 12 move outward synchronously. In this way, the use is convenient and the structure is stable.

[0043] Structural form two

[0044] The driving block 13 may be elliptical (not shown). When the short-radius surface of the driving block 13 contacts the two support blocks 12, the two support blocks 12 are initially in a closed state. When the long-radius surface of the driving block 13 contacts the two support blocks 12, the support blocks 12 are in an open state. Therefore, when the driving block 13 rotates, the two support blocks 12 can move outward synchronously.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, a driving block avoidance groove 113 may be provided in the middle of the lower end surface of the main body 11. This can provide the driving block 13 with sufficient movement space to facilitate pushing the two support blocks 12.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reset member may include a first magnet 61 and a second magnet 62 that attract each other. The first magnet 61 is disposed on the support block 12, and the second magnet 62 is disposed on a side wall of the main base 11 near the support block 12. Both the first magnet 61 and the second magnet 62 are disposed near the driving block 13. Thus, when the driving block 13 rises and no longer abuts the support block 12, the support block 12 returns to its original position under the attraction of the first magnet 61 and the second magnet 62.

[0047] The reset member can also be implemented in other ways. For example, an elastic member that can tighten the two support blocks 12 is provided between the two support blocks 12. When the driving block 13 rises and no longer abuts the two support blocks 12, the two support blocks 12 return to the original position of the driving block 13 under the pulling force of the elastic member.

[0048] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides a material transfer device 2, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, it is used in conjunction with the above-mentioned material handling fixture 1, including a mechanical arm 21, and an automatic clamping device 3 is provided at the end of the mechanical arm 21. The automatic clamping device 3 includes a first fixing plate 31 extending vertically and a second fixing plate 32 extending laterally. The first fixing plate 31 is provided with a first driving member 33, and the first driving member 33 is provided with a clamping claw 331 for clamping the clamping portion 111 of the material handling fixture 1. The second fixing plate 32 is provided with a second driving member 34 for driving the driving rod 14 of the material handling fixture 1. The structure of the material handling fixture 1 is the same as above and will not be repeated here.

[0049] In use, first, the jaw 331 of the first driving member 33 of the material transfer device 2 clamps the material taking and placing clamp 1, then moves to the material taking position, and drives the driving rod 14 by the second driving member 34, at this time, the driving block 13 drives the support block 12 to open outward to tighten the product 5, and the material taking is completed; after the material taking, the material transfer device 2 sends the material taking and placing clamp 1 and the product 5 to the processing device 4, and places the material taking and placing clamp 1 and the product 5 together, and the processing device 4 processes the product 5; after the product 5 is processed, the material transfer device 2 clamps the material taking and placing clamp 1 again, so as to drive the processed product 5 to move to the material placing position, and the driving rod 14 is loosened to stop driving the support block 12, at this time, the reset member in the material taking and placing clamp 1 resets the support block 12, and the product 5 automatically falls to the material placing position, that is, the discharging is completed.

[0050] The material transfer device 2 of the embodiment of the application is used in cooperation with the material taking and placing clamp 1, and comprises a mechanical arm 21, and the end of the mechanical arm 21 is provided with an automatic clamping device 3, the automatic clamping device 3 comprises a vertically extending first fixed plate 31 and a transversely extending second fixed plate 32, the first fixed plate 31 is provided with a first driving member 33, the first driving member 33 is provided with a jaw 331 for clamping the clamping part 111, and the second fixed plate 32 is provided with a second driving member 34 for driving the driving rod 14, so that the material taking and placing clamp 1 cooperates with the mechanical arm 21 to realize automatic processing, realizes automatic material taking-processing-discharging and other steps, and greatly improves the processing efficiency of the product.

[0051] As shown in Figures 4-5 In some embodiments of the application, the first driving member 33 can be a finger air cylinder, which is convenient to control the clamping of the material taking and placing clamp 1 and has low cost. The second driving member 34 can be a thin air cylinder, which is convenient to drive / compress the driving rod 14 and control the clamping of the material and is convenient to use. The automatic clamping device 3 can be connected to the mechanical arm 21 through the connecting flange 22, and in specific implementation, the first fixed plate 31 can be connected to the connecting flange 22 through the stand column 23 and the connecting plate 24, and the second fixed plate 32 can be fixed to the first fixed plate 31, so that the structure is stable and the use flexibility is high.

[0052] In another aspect, the embodiment of the application provides an automatic processing system, as shown in Figure 6 The automatic processing system comprises the processing device 4, the above-mentioned material taking and placing clamp 1, and the above-mentioned material transfer device 2. The structures of the material taking and placing clamp 1 and the material transfer device 2 are the same as above, and will not be described herein again.

[0053] The automatic processing system of the embodiment of the present application comprises the processing equipment 4, the aforementioned material taking and placing clamp 1, and the aforementioned material transfer equipment 2, so that after the surface of the product 5 is subjected to a special processing procedure (i.e. the aforementioned ink processing such as oil coating), the product 5 can be automatically clamped or released by the clamp taking tool, i.e. the material taking and placing clamp 1, and the automatic processing mode is realized by the cooperation of the material transfer equipment 2 and the processing equipment 4.

[0054] As shown in the figure, in some embodiments of the present application, the processing equipment 4 can comprise a product processing seat 41 for carrying the material taking and placing clamp 1 with the product 5, and the product processing seat 41 comprises a bottom plate 411, a pair of protrusions 412 arranged oppositely on the bottom plate 411, a support block accommodating groove 413 for accommodating the pair of support blocks 12 between the pair of protrusions 412, and a product accommodating groove 414 for placing the product 5 on the end face of the pair of protrusions 412. Figure 7 In this way, the product processing seat 41 can realize the positioning of the material taking and placing clamp 1 through the support block accommodating groove 413 and the accommodation of the product 5 carried by the material taking and placing clamp 1 through the product accommodating groove 414, so that the product 5 can be accurately positioned and placed, and the use is convenient.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, a pair of extension portions 116 are arranged on both sides of the main body seat 11 in the width direction, and a third magnet and a fourth magnet (both not shown) that attract each other are arranged on the pair of extension portions 116 and the pair of protrusions 412, respectively. In specific implementation, the third magnet can be installed in the third magnet accommodating groove 63 shown in the figure, and the fourth magnet can be installed in the fourth magnet accommodating groove 64 shown in the figure. In this way, the mutual attraction of the third magnet and the fourth magnet can enhance the pressure of the pressure claw 112 on the product 5 and better fix the product.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the two sides of the two support blocks 12 can each be provided with a recessed groove 123, and a limiting protrusion 4121 that cooperates with the recessed groove 123 to prevent the support block 12 from retracting is arranged on the pair of protrusions 412. The limiting protrusion 4121 not only has a positioning effect on the support block 12, but also shortens the distance of the support block 12 to the support opening position because the support block 12 does not completely retract to the initial position. Therefore, when the material transfer equipment 2 clamps the material taking and placing clamp 1 again, the product 5 can be fixed more quickly, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the automatic processing system can further comprise a tray placing rack 7, and the tray placing rack 7 is provided with an unprocessed product placing area 71 and a processed product placing area 72. In this way, the production efficiency can be improved to realize the assembly line production more conveniently.

[0058]

[0059] ​In another aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a processing method using the automatic processing system as described above, which comprises the following steps: Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps:

[0060] Step S1: The material transfer device 2 clamps the taking and placing clamp 1 and drives the taking and placing clamp 1 to take the product 5 to be processed to achieve taking.

[0061] This step is a taking step. In the implementation, the product to be processed is first placed in the area to be processed by manual operation. After the placement is completed, the mechanical arm 21 of the material transfer device 2 drives the automatic clamping device 3 to clamp the taking and placing clamp 1 and move to the area of the product to be processed (the area where the unprocessed product is placed 71) to take and place the product. Specifically, the clamping jaw 331 on the first driving member 33 clamps the clamping part 111 of the taking and placing clamp 1, and the second driving member 34 compresses the driving rod 14. At this time, the driving block 13 moves downward under the pressure, because the first wedge surface 131 and the second wedge surface 121 are in a certain angle cooperation (i.e. mutual cooperation), so the two supporting blocks 12 move outward synchronously until the product 5 is tightly supported. At this time, the limiting pin 122 plays a limiting role to avoid the product 5 from being deformed by excessive supporting force. The taking action is completed.

[0062] Step S2: The material transfer device 2 transfers the taking and placing clamp 1 to the processing device 4 and places the taking and placing clamp 1 with the product 5 to be processed on the product processing seat 41 of the processing device 4.

[0063] This step is a processing step. After the taking is completed, the mechanical arm 21 drives the automatic clamping device 3 to transfer the taking and placing clamp 1 and the product 5 to the material processing area, places them to the designated processing position (i.e. the product processing seat 41) and positions the product 5 well by using the supporting block containing groove 413. Then, the second driving member 34 is loosened, the two supporting blocks 12 retreat a distance due to the magnetic force of the first magnet 61, and the clamping jaw 331 driven by the first driving member 33 is loosened to place the taking and placing clamp 1 and the product 5 on the processing device 4 to process the product 5 (e.g. oiling). Until the product 5 is processed. In this process, the mechanical arm 21 can continue to place other products 5 to be processed on other processing devices 4. In the embodiment shown in the figure, one mechanical arm 21 is used to realize the automatic processing process of six processing devices 4.

[0064] Step S3: After the product 5 is processed, the material transfer device 2 clamps the taking and placing clamp 1 with the processed product 5 and transfers it to the area where the processed product is placed 72 to loosen the processed product 5 to complete the placing.

[0065] The step is a blanking step, after the product 5 is processed, the automatic clamping device 3 is driven by the mechanical arm 21 to carry out the material taking action, at this time, the first driving part 33 drives the clamping jaw 331 to clamp the material taking and placing clamp 1, and the second driving part 34 continues to compress the driving rod 14 to clamp the product 5, and then the product 5 is placed into the processed area (the processed product placing area 72) by the mechanical arm 21, at this time, the second driving part 34 is retracted, and the product 5 is automatically returned to the tray, and thus the processing process is completed.

[0066] In summary, the processing method of the embodiment of the application does not contact the processing area of the product surface throughout the whole process, avoids the product surface from being dirty, improves the product yield, and prevents artificial material taking from polluting and scratching the product for the product that needs to be processed by ink, saves manpower and reduces production cost by automatically taking and placing the material, and improves the production efficiency.
