[0026] Silicon materials are stored in plastic bags. In order to facilitate transportation, the bags are usually vacuumed and then stacked in packaging boxes. After the silicon materials are delivered to the relevant manufacturers, workers in the traditional technology manually remove the bags from the packaging boxes and then manually remove the bags to pour the silicon materials into the raw material tank. However, a large amount of silicon powder is generated during the pouring process, and if the silicon powder cannot be promptly discharged by the exhaust system and is inhaled by the workers, it will cause the workers to suffer from silicosis, causing serious physical damage. With the development of industrial automation, a mechanical hand is gradually used to clamp the bags to take the materials. Because the bags are neatly stacked in the packaging boxes, the bags are tightly in contact with each other and with the packaging boxes, and the working range of the left and right opening and closing type clamping is limited, and the clamping jaw cannot be deeply inserted into the gap between the bags or the gap between the bags and the packaging boxes for grabbing. Therefore, in the related technology, the mechanical hand takes the materials by clamping the excess part above the bag. During transportation, the upper part of the bag is inevitably tilted due to stacking and vacuum. If the mechanical hand cannot accurately clamp the upper part of the bag, it will cause the material taking to fail, thereby affecting the overall silicon material feeding efficiency.
[0027] As shown in Figs. 1 to 4 Fig. 1, a bag gripper is provided, which comprises a mounting frame 10, a bag grabbing mechanism 20 and a blowing mechanism 30. The mounting frame 10 is connected with an external driving device, such as a slide rail, a multi-axis robot or the like, so that the mounting frame 10 can be moved relative to a bag 40 to grab the bag 40 in a packaging box one by one. Preferably, the mounting frame 10 can be connected with the external driving device through a flange to enhance the stability of the connection. The bag grabbing mechanism 20 is arranged on the mounting frame 10. The bag grabbing mechanism 20 is a component for grabbing the bag 40, which comprises a first clamping finger 21 and a second clamping finger 22 arranged oppositely, and a clamping space is formed between the first clamping finger 21 and the second clamping finger 22. The blowing mechanism 30 is arranged on the mounting frame 10 in a spaced manner relative to the bag grabbing mechanism 20. The blowing mechanism 30 is used to deliver gas into the bag 40 to break the vacuum state inside the bag 40 and make the upper part of the bag 40 bulge. The upper part of the bag 40 refers to the part above the silicon material after the vacuum treatment of the bag 40, which does not contain silicon material. Generally, it is near the sealing of the bag 40. Before delivering the gas, the blowing mechanism 30 can enter the bag 40 by means of piercing or melting the bag opening. After delivering the gas, the blowing mechanism 30 makes the upper part of the bag 40 bulge. At this time, the bag grabbing mechanism 20 controls the first clamping finger 21 and the second clamping finger 22 to approach each other to clamp the upper part of the bag 40, and the grabbing of the bag 40 is completed. Further, after the bag grabbing mechanism 20 clamps the upper part of the bag 40, the bag 40 is lifted by controlling the upward movement of the bag grabbing mechanism 20 or controlling the upward movement of the mounting frame 10, and then the bag 40 is transferred to the next process. The bag gripper of the embodiment inputs gas into the bag 40 through the blowing mechanism 30 to make the upper part of the bag 40 bulge, and then the bag 40 is clamped by the bag grabbing mechanism 20, which reduces the failure of clamping the bag 40 and improves the efficiency of feeding the silicon material.
[0028] In one embodiment, the blowing mechanism 30 includes a first driving member 31, a gas supply pipe 32, and a solenoid valve 33. The first driving member 31 is disposed on the mounting frame 10 and is configured to drive the gas supply pipe 32 to move towards or away from the bag 40. The first driving member 31 can include, but is not limited to, a pneumatic cylinder or an electric motor. The gas supply pipe 32 is a pipe configured to supply gas into the bag 40. In order to smoothly enter the bag 40, the gas supply pipe 32 can be a rigid pipe, such as a pipe made of tungsten steel. Preferably, the end of the tungsten steel pipe is designed as a sharp tip to facilitate penetration into the bag 40. The gas supply pipe 32 can be connected to the first driving member 31 and the solenoid valve 33, respectively. The solenoid valve 33 is an electromagnetic control automatic component for controlling fluid. In this embodiment, the solenoid valve 33 is configured to be activated after the first driving member 31 drives the gas supply pipe 32 to penetrate into the bag 40, so that the gas supply pipe 32 delivers gas into the bag 40. By controlling the on-off of the gas supply pipe 32 through the solenoid valve 33, precise control of the gas supply can be achieved, which ensures that the upper part of the bag 40 is inflated while preventing the bag 40 from being burst. In addition, the number of gas supply pipes 32 can be one or more, and preferably two, to ensure that if any of the gas supply pipes 32 is blocked, the other gas supply pipe 32 can still function to supply gas. The blowing mechanism 30 of this embodiment realizes automatic and precise control of the blowing process by driving the gas supply pipe 32 to penetrate into the bag 40 through the first driving member 31, changing the vacuum state of the bag 40 by delivering gas through the gas supply pipe 32, and controlling the on-off of the gas supply process through the solenoid valve 33, thereby ensuring the safe inflation of the upper part of the bag 40.
[0029] In one embodiment, the bag clamp further includes a guide assembly disposed on the mounting frame 10. The guide direction of the guide assembly is the same as the extension direction of the gas supply pipe 32, and the guide assembly is configured to improve the stability of the movement of the gas supply pipe 32. Specifically, in one embodiment, the guide assembly can include a guide rod and a sliding block sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide rod, and the sliding block is connected to the blowing mechanism. In another embodiment, the guide assembly can also be a vertically disposed sliding groove structure, and the gas supply pipe 32 penetrates and is fixed to the sliding block which is movably disposed in the sliding groove.
[0030] In one embodiment, the mounting frame 10 comprises a first mounting plate 11, a second mounting plate 13 and a plurality of elastic members 12. The plurality of elastic members 12 are evenly arranged between the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 13, and the bag grabbing mechanism 20 and the blowing mechanism 30 are arranged on the lower side of the second mounting plate 13. Specifically, the first mounting plate 11 serves as a main connecting plate, and the upper side thereof can be connected with an external driving device such as a mechanical hand, a slide rail, etc. The second mounting plate 13 serves as a secondary mounting plate for loading the bag grabbing mechanism 20 and the blowing mechanism 30, for example, a driving motor or a cylinder in the bag grabbing mechanism 20 for driving the first clamping finger 21 and the second clamping finger 22 to approach, and a driving motor or a cylinder in the blowing mechanism 30. In addition, the second mounting plate 13 can also be used to mount other components that can be used in the process of clamping the bag 40, such as sensors, etc. The elastic members 12 include springs or rubber pads, etc. The elastic members 12 can be arranged in a radial, rectangular lattice or circular lattice manner between the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 13. The first mounting plate 11, the plurality of elastic members 12 and the second mounting plate 13 are sequentially connected to form a floating structure, which can reduce the impact force on the external driving member or the blowing mechanism 30 and the bag grabbing mechanism 20 itself when the blowing mechanism 30 and the bag grabbing mechanism 20 resist the silicon material in the bag 40, improve the safety of the equipment, reduce the damage of the components, and improve the service life of the equipment.
[0031] In one embodiment, the opposite sides of the first clamping finger 21 and the second clamping finger 22 are concave-convex surfaces, and the material of the first clamping finger 21 and the second clamping finger 22 is polyurethane. Specifically, the concave-convex surface can improve the friction of the surface, and compared with the smooth plastic material of the bag 40, the design of the concave-convex surface can effectively improve the friction when clamping the bag 40, and reduce the failure of clamping or the falling of the bag 40. Polyurethane is a high molecular material formed by polyol and polyisocyanate through condensation polymerization, which has excellent mechanical properties and plasticity. Polyurethane has the characteristics of light weight and friction, which can reduce the overall weight of the bag clamp. In the embodiment, the first clamping finger 21 and the second clamping finger 22 are made of polyurethane, and the opposite sides for clamping the bag 40 are designed in a concave-convex surface, which can significantly improve the friction between the first clamping finger 21, the second clamping finger 22 and the bag 40, and improve the success rate of clamping the bag 40.
[0032] In one embodiment, the opposite sides of the first and second clamping fingers 21 and 22 are provided with a plurality of metal needles for piercing the upper part of the inflated bag 40. Specifically, the bag 40 is pierced by the needles, and the pierced needles remain inside the bag 40, while the rest of the needles are outside the bag 40. When the first and second clamping fingers 21 and 22 are close to each other, the bag 40 can be lifted and transferred by the needles. Compared with the friction caused by the horizontal convergence of the clamping fingers, the success rate of clamping is higher in this embodiment. The metal needles can improve the strength of the needles, reduce the deformation of the needles during clamping, and have better durability, which can ensure the service life of the first and second clamping fingers 21 and 22.
[0033] In this embodiment, a bag grabbing mechanism 20 is provided, which includes a fixed frame 51, a reinforcing plate 52, and first and second clamping fingers 21 and 22. The fixed frame 51 includes a first part arranged in the vertical direction and a second part in the shape of "L" connected by a hinge. The first part is fixed to the first connecting plate by screws for mounting the first or second clamping finger 21 or 22. The reinforcing plate 52 is connected to the side of the first part to enhance the stability of the fixed frame 51. The first or second clamping finger 21 or 22 is mounted on the second part of the fixed frame 51 by screws. The first or second clamping finger 21 or 22 is driven by a motor or a cylinder to approach or move away from each other, thereby clamping or releasing the bag 40.
[0034] In this embodiment, a clamping finger quick-change module is also provided, which includes a rod body 211, a screw hole 212, a limiting block 213, and a tungsten steel needle 214. The screw hole 212 is arranged on the first side for mounting the rod body 211 on the second part of the fixed frame 51 of the bag grabbing mechanism 20. Two limiting blocks 213 are arranged at both ends of the rod body 211 for cooperation with the second part of the fixed frame 51 to avoid collision between the first and second clamping fingers 21 and 22 when they approach each other. A plurality of tungsten steel needles 214 are arranged on the second side for piercing the bag 40 and grabbing the bag 40 after the first and second clamping fingers 21 and 22 approach each other. Through the clamping finger quick-change module of this embodiment, the modular application of the first and second clamping fingers 21 and 22 is realized, which improves the convenience of equipment maintenance and reduces the cost of equipment maintenance.
[0035] In one embodiment, the bag clamp further comprises a limiting rod 60 and a first sensor arranged on the mounting frame 10. When the limiting rod 60 abuts against the bag 40, the first sensor generates a control signal to control the bag grabbing mechanism 20 to clamp the bag 40 after detecting overpressure. Specifically, the first sensor is a slot photoelectric sensor. During the process of lowering the bag clamp, the limiting rod 60 contacts the bag 40 and the silicon material in the bag. When the limiting rod 60 forms overpressure with the silicon bag 40, the slot photoelectric sensor is triggered to control the bag grabbing mechanism 20 to clamp the bag 40. Preferably, the limiting rod 60 can be sleeved with a sliding block on the outside, and the sliding block is connected with the air supply pipe 32 of the blowing mechanism 30. At this time, the limiting rod 60 serves as a guide rod to provide a guide function for the blowing mechanism 30.
[0036] In one embodiment, the bag clamp further comprises a second sensor 80 arranged on the mounting frame 10. The second sensor 80 is used to detect whether the bag 40 is located in the bag grabbing mechanism 20. The second sensor 80 is a visual sensor or other photoelectric sensor, which is used to detect whether the bag 40 is in the bag grabbing mechanism 20, and monitors the entire bag grabbing process to ensure the success rate of bag grabbing.
[0037] In one embodiment, the bag clamp further comprises a foam grabbing mechanism 90 arranged on the mounting frame 10. The foam grabbing mechanism 90 comprises a floating unit, a second driving member 92 and a needle suction cup 93. The second driving member 92 is connected with the needle suction cup 93. The second driving member 92 is used to drive the needle suction cup 93 to pierce the foam, and the needle suction cup 93 is used to adsorb the foam.
[0038] Specifically, between the layers of the bags 40 in the packaging box, there is generally foam as a buffer. After the single-layer bag 40 is taken, the foam needs to be taken out before the next layer of bag 40 is clamped and transferred. Therefore, in order to realize the automatic grabbing of the foam, the foam grabbing mechanism 90 is provided in the embodiment. The foam grabbing mechanism 90 pierces and adsorbs the foam through the needle suction cup 93. The needle suction cup 93 can ensure the stability of adsorption, and the floating unit can reduce the impact on the mounting plate and the foam grabbing mechanism 90 during the piercing process, thereby improving the safety of the grabbing process. The foam grabbing mechanism 90 of the embodiment realizes the safe and stable grabbing of the foam between the layers of the bags 40, improves the full-automatic clamping of the bag 40 feeding process, and improves the silicon material feeding efficiency.
[0039] In another embodiment, the needle suction cup can only perform one of the piercing action or the adsorption action. For example, the needle suction cup 93 can fix the foam after piercing the foam. At this time, the foam can be taken out by moving the foam through the needle suction cup 93. For another example, the needle suction cup 93 contacts the foam, forms negative pressure by suction through the small hole to adsorb the foam, and then moves the foam to take out the foam.
[0040] The application also provides a material taking robot, which comprises the material bag clamp as described in any of the above embodiments. The material taking robot of the application can integrate the functions of taking foam, blowing, taking material bag and detecting the clamping of the material bag, and the material taking process is efficient and has a high success rate. Preferably, the material taking robot can also be provided with a visual positioning module to realize high-precision automatic taking of silicon material and improve the efficiency of silicon material feeding.
[0041] The embodiment also provides a material bag clamping method, which comprises the following steps: after the material taking robot moves the material bag clamp to above the silicon material bag 40, the first clamping finger 21 and the second clamping finger 22 of the material bag clamping mechanism 20 are controlled to move away from each other, the blowing mechanism 30 is controlled to extend by a pneumatic cylinder, the material bag clamp slowly descends to the air supply pipe 32 of the blowing mechanism 30 to pierce the material bag 40, the electromagnetic valve 33 is started, the air supply pipe 32 continuously blows air to the material bag 40 for a preset time, and then the blowing mechanism 30 is controlled to retract by the pneumatic cylinder. The material bag clamp continues to descend to the limit rod 60 to contact the silicon material. After the limit rod 60 and the material bag 40 form overpressure, the first sensor is triggered, the pneumatic cylinders of the first clamping finger 21 and the second clamping finger 22 drive the two clamping fingers to move close to each other to clamp the material bag 40. Finally, the material bag 40 is lifted to a target height, and the second sensor 80 detects whether the material bag 40 is in place. If yes, the material bag 40 is transferred to a target position, and the next material bag 40 is taken out.
[0042] The embodiment also provides a foam clamping method, which comprises the following steps: a foam clamping instruction is obtained, the instruction can be generated based on the clamping frequency of the material bag 40, and can also be generated based on the visual detection result. The foam clamping mechanism is driven to descend by a preset distance based on the foam clamping instruction, at this time, the floating unit will have a certain compression amount, which can ensure that the surface of the needle suction cup 93 is tightly attached to the foam. The electromagnetic valve 33 drives the needle suction cup 93 to extend the needle. After the material bag clamp is lifted to a preset height, it is detected whether the foam is successfully clamped. If yes, the material bag clamp is controlled to move the foam to a recycling position, and the foam processing is completed.

In order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are not described, however, as long as the combination of the technical features does not exist, it should be considered as the scope of the description.

It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, some modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the application.
