[0044] See also Figure 1 The material sorting device includes a loading component 100, a loading platform 200, a scheduling component 300, a material identification component 500 and a sorting component 400. The loading component 100 is used to provide materials to be sorted, and the material identification component 500 is used to obtain material information corresponding to the materials to be sorted. The sorting component 400 is used to perform corresponding material sorting operations according to the material information. The loading platform 200 is used to carry materials so that the material identification component 500 can obtain material information corresponding to the materials carried by the loading platform 200. The scheduling component 300 can be used to schedule the materials provided by the loading component 100 to the loading platform 200, and schedule the materials carried by the loading platform 200 to the sorting component 400.

[0045] Optionally, when the loading platform 200 has multiple material placement locations, the scheduling component 300 can be used to schedule materials between different placement locations.

[0046] Optionally, the loading component 100, the loading platform 200 and the sorting component 400 can be arranged in sequence along the material transmission direction. By arranging the components in sequence along the material transmission direction, the distance that the scheduling component 300 needs to move the material when scheduling the material can be reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of the scheduling component 300 in scheduling the material.

[0047] In some embodiments, the loading assembly 100 is provided with a loading position 121 for placing material. When the material is positioned at the loading position 121, a first angle is formed between the material placement surface and a reference plane. Exemplarily, the reference plane is a horizontal plane, and the first angle can be set as needed, for example, in a range of 5 to 30°, such as 5°, 10°, or 30°, without limitation. It is understood that the material includes, but is not limited to, semiconductor devices, such as chips.

[0048] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the loading component 100 may include a material tray 110 and a feeding track 120. The material tray 110 is used to store materials to be sorted and to transfer the materials stored in the material tray 110 to the feeding track 120. When the materials are in the feeding track 120, the contact surface between the materials and the feeding track 120 and the reference surface has a first angle, so that the materials are arranged close to one side of the feeding track 120 when being transported in the feeding track 120, so as to reduce the probability of misalignment, overlap, etc. of the materials when being transported in the feeding track 120, so as to facilitate the subsequent scheduling component 300 to schedule the materials, wherein a loading position 121 is formed on the feeding track 120, specifically, the loading position 121 can be formed on the side of the feeding track 120 close to the loading platform 200, so as to reduce the time required for the scheduling component 300 to schedule the materials on the loading position 121 to the loading platform 200, thereby improving efficiency.

[0049] Optionally, the material tray 110 transfers the material to the feeding track 120 in such a way that the loading assembly 100 may further include a loading drive 111 connected to the material tray 110, and a rotating spiral track is provided in the material tray 110. The loading drive 111 drives the material tray 110 to move (such as rotate and / or vibrate), thereby causing the material in the material tray 110 to be displaced and move along the spiral track until it reaches the feeding track 120. Alternatively, the loading drive 111 may drive the spiral track to rotate, thereby causing the material in the material tray 110 to be displaced, and causing the material to move along the spiral track in the material tray 110 until it reaches the feeding track 120.

[0050] Of course, as an alternative embodiment, the material in the material tray 110 can be picked up by a robotic arm and transferred to the feed track 120 to complete the loading work, or other embodiments can be used to transfer the material from the material tray 110 to the feed track 120.

[0051] See also Figures 3 to 6In some embodiments, the material scheduling angle of the scheduling component 300 is adjustable, and the scheduling component 300 has a switchable first scheduling mode and a second scheduling mode, wherein, in the first scheduling mode, the scheduling component 300 has a first material scheduling angle a, and the scheduling component 300 can absorb the material located at the loading position 121 through the first material scheduling angle a to move the material away from the loading position 121.

[0052] In the second scheduling mode, the scheduling component 300 has a second material scheduling angle b. The scheduling component 300 can adjust the material scheduling angle to the second material scheduling angle b to schedule the absorbed material to the placement position 201. The scheduling component 300 can absorb the material located at the placement position 201 through the second material scheduling angle b to move the material away from the placement position 201.

[0053] Optionally, the first material scheduling angle a and the second material scheduling angle b can be set as needed. For example, the first material scheduling angle a can be set to 5° to 30°. For example, the first material scheduling angle a is not limited to 5°, 10°, or 30°.

[0054] The second material scheduling angle b can be set to 0 to 5, for example, the second material scheduling angle b is 0°.

[0055] Optionally, the first material scheduling angle a is the same as the first angle. Optionally, the second material scheduling angle b is the same as the second angle.

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, for example, the scheduling component 300 has a material contact surface, and the angle between the material contact surface and the reference surface is the material scheduling angle of the scheduling component 300.

[0057] Through two different first scheduling modes and second scheduling modes, and in different scheduling modes, the scheduling component 300 has different material scheduling angles, so that the scheduling component 300 can perform material absorption or material release work at workstations with different inclination angles (such as workstations at least including loading positions and placement positions), so as to reduce the abutment damage to the material caused by the scheduling component 300 when contacting the material, or the material release damage caused by the excessive inclination angle between the material and the placement surface when releasing the material, thereby improving the accuracy, efficiency and safety of material scheduling.

[0058] In some embodiments, the material scheduling angle of the scheduling component 300 can be adjusted in such a manner that the scheduling component 300 includes a first driving component 310, a support component 320, a deflection component 350, and a first scheduling component 330, wherein the deflection component 350 is connected to the first scheduling component 330 and can provide deflection support for the first scheduling component 330, so that the first scheduling component 330 can perform material suction operations and material release operations at a first angle and a second angle. The first driving component 310 is used to drive the support component 320 to move, so that the movement of the support component 320 drives the movement of the first scheduling component 330. The deflection component 350 provides rotational support for the first scheduling component 330, so that the first scheduling component 330 can operate at the first material scheduling angle a or the second material scheduling angle b.

[0059] In some specific embodiments, the deflection component 350 is rotatably connected to the bracket component 320, and when the deflection component 350 drives the first scheduling component 330 to rotate to the first position relative to the bracket component 320, the first scheduling component 330 has a first material scheduling angle a, and the first scheduling component 330 absorbs the material at the loading position 121 through the first material scheduling angle a.

[0060] When the deflection component 350 drives the first scheduling component 330 to rotate to the second position relative to the support component 320, the first scheduling component 330 has a second material scheduling angle b, and the first scheduling component 330 schedules the material sucked from the upper material position 121 to the loading platform 200 through the second material scheduling angle b.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, the deflection component 350 includes a connecting rod 351, a first deflection member 352 and a second deflection member 353. The first deflection member 352 and the second deflection member 353 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the connecting rod 351. The first scheduling component 330 is connected to the first deflection member 352. The first deflection member 352 is also rotatably connected to the bracket component 320. When the scheduling component 300 performs the process of scheduling the material on the material level 121, the first driving component 310 drives the bracket component 320 to move, thereby driving the first scheduling component 330 to rotate. 0 moves, first drives the first scheduling component 330 to move to the top of the loading position 121, and then drives the first scheduling component 330 to move close to the material on the loading position 121 until the first scheduling component 330 contacts the material. In the process of the first scheduling component 330 abutting the material, the first scheduling component 330 rotates until the first scheduling component 330 rotates to the first position. When the first scheduling component 330 is in the first position, the contact surface of the first scheduling component 330 and the material faces the material, so that the first scheduling component 330 can absorb the material.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, the support member 320 is provided with a limiting member 321. When the scheduling assembly 300 absorbs material at the loading level 121, the deflection member 350 abuts the limiting member 321, thereby driving the first scheduling member 330 to rotate relative to the support member 320 to a first position, so that the first scheduling member 330 has a first material scheduling angle a, and absorbs the material at the loading level 121 at the first material scheduling angle a. Specifically, when the first scheduling member 330 absorbs material at the loading level 121, the first scheduling member 330 rotates relative to the support member 320 until the first deflection member 350 and the limiting member 321 are in limiting abutment. At this point, the first scheduling member 330 rotates to the first position, so that the first scheduling member 330 has the first material scheduling angle a. That is, when the deflection member 350 and the limiting member 321 form a limiting abutment, the scheduling assembly 300 is in the second scheduling mode.

[0063] When the deflection member 350 is no longer in contact with the limiting member 321, the deflection member 350 drives the first dispatching member 330 to rotate relative to the support member 320 to the second position, so that the first dispatching member 330 has a second material dispatching angle b, thereby dispatching the sucked material to the placement position 201. In other words, when the deflection member 350 is no longer in contact with the limiting member 321, the dispatching assembly 300 is in the second dispatching mode.

[0064] During the specific implementation process, the first scheduling component 330 completes the absorption of the material on the loading position 121, and then the driving component drives the bracket component 320 to move, so that the bracket component 320 drives the scheduling component to move away from the loading position 121. When the material is separated from the loading position 121, the material and the loading position 121 are released from contact, and the first deflection component 352 is driven to rotate by the weight of the material itself and the weight of the second deflection component 353, thereby driving the first scheduling component 330 to rotate to the second position. At this time, the first scheduling component 330 has a second material scheduling angle b, so that the first scheduling component 330 can schedule the material to the placement position 201.

[0065] Among them, as an alternative, a torsion spring can also be provided on the first deflection component 350. When the first scheduling component 330 is rotated to the first position, the torsion spring is in a compressed state. When the first scheduling component 330 absorbs the material and separates it from the loading position 121, the torsion spring releases the pressure to make the first scheduling component 330 quickly rotate back to the second position.

[0066] In some specific embodiments, the scheduling component 300 also includes at least one second scheduling component 340, which is arranged on the bracket component 320 at an interval from the first scheduling component 330. The second scheduling component 340 can be fixedly connected to the bracket component 320 and is used to perform material scheduling work at a fixed angle. The first scheduling component 330 performs scheduling work that requires changing the angle, and the second scheduling component 340 performs scheduling work at a fixed angle to reduce the overall cost of the equipment.

[0067] Among them, the second scheduling component 340 is at least used to schedule the material located at the placement position 201 to a preset position on the transmission component 410. The preset position can be set as needed. For example, the preset position is set on the side of the transmission component 410 close to the loading platform 200.

[0068] In some embodiments, the material scheduling angle of the scheduling component 300 can be adjusted by providing the scheduling component 300 with a third drive component and a third scheduling component. The third scheduling component is used to schedule materials between the loading position 102, the placement position 201, and a preset position. The third drive component is connected to the third scheduling component and can be used to adjust the angle of the scheduling component, thereby enabling the third scheduling component to have a first scheduling mode and a second scheduling mode. In the first scheduling mode, the third scheduling component has a first material scheduling angle a, and in the second scheduling mode, the scheduling component has a second material scheduling angle b. The third drive component includes, but is not limited to, a drive motor.

[0069] Optionally, the third scheduling component and the first scheduling component 330 have the same structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0070] In some embodiments, the target dispatching component includes a suction cup device and an air supply device connected to the suction cup device. During specific dispatching operations, the air supply device draws air to create a vacuum between the contact surface of the suction cup device and the material, thereby achieving material suction. The air supply device delivers air to the suction cup device to relieve the negative pressure between the suction cup device and the material being sucked by the suction cup device, thereby achieving material release. The material dispatching operation is performed using the suction cup device.

[0071] The target scheduling component includes at least one of the first scheduling component 330 , the second scheduling component 340 , and the third scheduling component.

[0072] See also Figure 3In some embodiments, the material identification component 500 includes a first identification component 510 and a second identification component 520, wherein the first identification component 510 is at least used to obtain material information corresponding to the first surface of the material placed in the placement position 201, and the second identification component 520 is at least used to obtain material information corresponding to the second surface of the material placed in the placement position 201. By obtaining the material information corresponding to the first surface and the second surface of the material respectively through the first identification component 510 and the second identification component 520, the accuracy of material information identification is improved, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent sorting of the material.

[0073] The first identification component 510 and the second identification component 520 can respectively obtain material information corresponding to the first surface and the second surface of the material placed on the placement position 201. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the placement position 201 includes a first placement position 211 and a second placement position 221, and the material identification component 500 includes a first identification component 510 and a second identification component 520, wherein the first identification component 510 is used to obtain material information corresponding to the first surface placed on the first placement position 211, and the second identification component 520 is used to obtain material information corresponding to the second surface of the material placed on the second placement position 221. In the process of obtaining material information, the material is first transferred to the first placement position 211 via the first scheduling component 330, and the material information corresponding to the first surface of the material is obtained through the first identification component 510. After the acquisition is completed, the material is transferred to the second placement position 221 via the second scheduling component 340, and the material information corresponding to the second surface of the material is obtained through the second identification component 520. By obtaining the material information corresponding to the first surface and the second surface of the material at two positions respectively, the accuracy of obtaining the material information corresponding to the first surface and the second surface of the material can be improved, thereby further improving the accuracy of subsequent sorting of the materials.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, the loading platform 200 is provided with a first supporting component 210 and a second supporting component 220, the first supporting component 210 forms a first placement position 211, and the second supporting component 220 forms a second placement position 221, wherein at least a portion of the first supporting component 210 is a transparent structure, and the first identification component 510 is provided on the side of the first supporting component 210 away from the material. The first identification component 510 can obtain material information corresponding to the first surface of the material through the transparent portion of the first supporting component 210. After the material completes the information acquisition work at the first placement position 211, the material on the first placement position 211 is transferred to the second placement position 221 through the scheduling component 300. The first identification component 510 has obtained the material information of the first surface of the material through the transparent portion of the first supporting component 210, so that the material can be placed in the second placement position 221 without changing the placement posture, and then the material information corresponding to the second surface of the material is obtained through the second identification component 520, so as to improve the accuracy of obtaining material information of the material at the first placement position 211 and the second placement position 221 respectively.

[0075] Among them, the first identification component 510 and the second identification component 520 may include a camera device and a processing device, which obtains material information corresponding to the first surface and the second surface of the material by photographing and identifying the first surface and the second surface of the material, transmits the obtained material information to the processing device, and analyzes the received material information through the processing device to determine the target material conveying part 430 corresponding to the material.

[0076] Alternatively, the first identification component 510 and the second identification component 520 may also include a scanning device and a processing device. A barcode or other identifiable mark recording material information is affixed to the surface of the material. The barcode is scanned by laser to obtain material information corresponding to the first and second surfaces of the material. The obtained material information is then transmitted to the processing device, which analyzes the received material information to determine the target material conveying member 430 corresponding to the material. Of course, the first identification component 510 and the second identification component 520 may also be other devices capable of obtaining material information corresponding to a material.

[0077] See also Figures 7 to 10The sorting component 400 includes a sorting component 420, a transport component 410, and multiple material transport components 430. The scheduling component 300 is further configured to transfer material from the placement position 201 to a preset position on the transport component 410. The multiple material transport components 430 are disposed on at least one side of the transport component 410. The transport component 410 is configured to transport material located at the preset position. The sorting component 420 is configured to sort the material transported by the transport component 410 to a target material transport component 430 among the multiple material transport components 430. Specifically, the target material transport component 430 is one of the multiple material transport components 430, and the target material transport component is determined based on at least the material information. After the second scheduling component 340 dispatches the material to the preset position, the transport component 410 transports the material to the position corresponding to the target material transport component 430. The sorting component 420 then sorts the material to the target material transport component 430, completing the material sorting process.

[0078] For example, the target material conveying part 430 can transport the material to different material storage parts (such as a material receiving box), and associate the material information with the corresponding target material conveying part 430, so that the corresponding material can be sorted to different material storage parts through the target material conveying part according to the material information to realize classified storage of the material.

[0079] It is understandable that the preset position can be set as needed. For example, the preset position is set at one end of the transmission component 410 close to the loading platform 200 .

[0080] In some embodiments, the transport component 410 includes a transmission belt 412, a second drive component 411, and a calculation device 440. The second drive component 411 is configured to drive the transmission belt 412 to transport the material. The calculation device 440 is configured to calculate a target time for the transmission belt 412 to transport the material from a preset position to a material position corresponding to the target material transport component 430, thereby enabling the sorting component 420 to perform a material sorting operation at the target time. The material sorting operation is configured to sort the material transported by the transport component 410 to the target material transport component 430.

[0081] In a specific implementation, the second scheduling component 340 may schedule the material to a preset location. The computing device 440 calculates the time required for the material to reach the target material transport component 430 by acquiring information about the distance the material has traveled on the conveyor belt 412 and the distance between the preset location and the target material transport component 430. The sorting component 420 may include a control device configured to drive the sorting component 420 to perform sorting operations. The computing device 440 transmits the calculated time information to the control device, causing the control device to drive the sorting component 420 to sort the material to the target transport component at the corresponding time.

[0082] Of course, the distance that the material moves on the transmission belt 412 can also be calculated by the second driving component 411. At the same time, the computing device 440 synchronously calculates the distance that the material moves on the transmission belt 412. The accuracy of the calculated time information is improved through two calculations, so as to improve the accuracy of the sorting work performed by the sorting component 420.

[0083] In some embodiments, the sorting components 420 and the material conveying components 430 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the corresponding sorting components 420 are used to convey the materials to the corresponding material conveying components 430 .

[0084] In a specific embodiment, the sorting component 420 includes an air pipe, one end of which is used to connect to an air supply device, and the other end of the air pipe is set toward the material conveying part 430. The material is transferred to the conveying mechanism through the scheduling component 300, and the positioning component obtains the position information of the material falling on the conveying mechanism and determines the distance information of the material from the target material conveying part 430. The material is conveyed to the corresponding target material conveying part 430 through the conveying mechanism, and gas is provided to the air pipe through the air supply device, so that the air pipe outputs gas to deliver the material to the material conveying part 430 to realize material sorting.

[0085] Alternatively, as an alternative embodiment, it includes a push rod and a push rod driving member, the push rod driving member is used to drive the push rod to push the material to the target material conveying member 430, after the material is conveyed between the push rod and the material conveying member 430, the push rod driving member drives the push rod to move, thereby pushing the material into the material conveying member 430 to realize the sorting of the material. Of course, it can also be other devices that can cause the material to be displaced to the material conveying member 430.

[0086] In a specific embodiment, the material sorting device also includes a receiving structure 600 and a material receiving box 610. The material receiving box 610 is used to receive materials transmitted from the material conveying part 430. The material receiving box 610 is distributed on opposite sides of the conveying mechanism along the transmission direction of the conveying mechanism. The material receiving box 610 is arranged corresponding to the material conveying part 430. The material is conveyed to the material conveying part 430 via the conveying mechanism, and the material is sent into the material conveying part 430. The material conveying part 430 conveys the material to the material receiving box 610. The sorted material is collected by the material receiving box 610 to facilitate the operator to receive the sorted material.

[0087] The material receiving box 610 can be detachably assembled within the receiving structure 600. The receiving structure 600 can specifically be a U-shaped slot. The material receiving box 610 can be slidably assembled into or detached from the U-shaped slot. The open end of the U-shaped slot faces away from the side of the conveying mechanism, making it easier for the material receiving box 610 to be inserted into or removed from the U-shaped slot. The U-shaped slot limits the position of the material receiving box 610 on opposite sides of the conveying mechanism, thereby reducing the displacement of the material receiving box 610 when receiving materials, allowing the material receiving box 610 to stably receive materials. A handle 611 is provided on the side of the material receiving box 610 facing away from the conveying mechanism. The provision of the handle 611 facilitates the operator to transfer the material receiving box 610 by holding the handle 611.

[0088] As an alternative embodiment, the receiving structure 600 may also be other structures for limiting the placement position of the material receiving box 610, for example, it may also be a sunken trough or other structure.

[0089] In some embodiments, the material conveyor 430 includes a tube 431 and baffles 432. The tube 431 defines a passageway for material to pass through. The baffles 432 are positioned on opposite sides of the tube 431 near one end of the conveyor assembly. The opposing baffles 432 extend in opposite directions from one end connected to the tube 431. The baffles 432 improve the accuracy with which material is fed into the material conveyor 430. If the angle of material movement deviates during the process of the sorting component 420 transferring material to the material conveyor 430, the baffles 432 can restrict the direction of material movement, forcing the material into the material conveyor 430.

[0090] To sum up, the material is conveyed from the material tray 110 to the feeding track 120, and the material is conveyed to the loading platform 200 via the feeding track 120. Then, the material is sucked by the scheduling component 300 at the first material scheduling angle a, and then transferred to the placement position 201 on the loading platform 200 at the second material scheduling angle b. The material identification component 500 obtains the material information corresponding to the material placed at the placement position 201, and determines the target material conveying part 430 corresponding to the material through the material information. Then, the scheduling component 300 transfers the material at the placement position 201 to a preset position, determines the target material conveying part 430 corresponding to the material according to the material information, and the conveying mechanism conveys the material to the target material conveying part 430. The material is sent to the material conveying part 430 through the sorting component 420, and the material sorting work is completed.

Various modifications may be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by a person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
