Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a rotating and material handling device, specifically a rotating and material handling device for the production of flexible copper clad laminates, belonging to the field of FCC product manufacturing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible copper clad laminate (FCC) is the core substrate of flexible circuit boards for electronic devices, widely used in precision fields such as smartphones, wearable devices, and automotive electronics. Its processing involves multiple steps including hot pressing, etching, and cutting. After FCC processing, the finished product is tightly attached to a dedicated carrier board. Due to the process layout, the finished product is often in a carrier board-facing-down position. Directly removing the material can easily lead to uneven stress, causing the FCC to bend, surface copper foil to be scratched, or edge damage. Therefore, the carrier board holding the FCC must first be smoothly flipped over to fully expose the finished product facing upwards before a suitable material-removing mechanism accurately picks it up. However, the FCC's carrying plate has a large area, and conventional equipment is not specifically adapted to this due to its internal space and structural design. This can easily lead to problems when flipping and picking up the material: on the one hand, the edges of the material plate are prone to scraping against the internal parts of the equipment during the flipping process, causing collision noises, or even causing component deformation or material plate displacement, thereby damaging the FCC finished product; on the other hand, conventional equipment is mostly designed for single functions. It can either only complete the flipping of the material plate and requires additional manual or equipment connection to pick up the material, or it can only pick up the material but cannot pre-process and flip it. The step-by-step operation is not only inefficient, but also increases the risk of collision during the material plate transfer, making it difficult to meet the continuous and integrated requirements of FCC precision processing. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The aforementioned rotating and material handling device for flexible copper clad laminate production includes a lifting mechanism comprising a first mounting plate disposed below the inner side of the input conveyor belt, a second cylinder disposed below the first mounting plate, and a lifting frame connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder passing through the first mounting plate; a first guide rod is fixedly connected below the lifting frame, and the first guide rod is slidably connected to the first mounting plate; and a pairing rod is disposed at each of the four corners of the lifting frame.

[0009] The aforementioned rotating and material handling device for flexible copper clad laminate production includes a recycling mechanism comprising a support frame disposed on the front side of the workbench, an output conveyor belt disposed between the support frame and the workbench, the output conveyor belt being located between the input conveyor belt and the finished product table; a blocking frame is provided at the front end of the output conveyor belt, and an inlet is provided at the rear end of the blocking frame; there is a gap between the front plate of the blocking frame and the output conveyor belt; and multiple material handling gates are rotatably connected to the upper end of the blocking frame.

[0010] The aforementioned rotating and picking device for flexible copper clad laminate production includes a picking mechanism comprising a lateral moving mechanism mounted on two first mounting frames. The moving end of the lateral moving mechanism is provided with a moving frame, and a third cylinder is mounted on the moving frame. The telescopic end of the third cylinder is positioned downward and connected to the first moving frame. The lower end of the first moving frame is provided with multiple suction cups. The first moving frame is provided with multiple second guide rods. The first moving frame is symmetrically provided with second mounting plates, which are slidably connected to the second guide rods. A limiting plate is provided between the upper parts of the second guide rods on the same side.

[0011] The aforementioned rotating and material handling device for flexible copper-clad laminate production also includes a heat dissipation mechanism on the workbench. The heat dissipation mechanism includes a second mounting frame located outside the first mounting frame. The second mounting frame has a vertical moving mechanism, and the moving end of the vertical moving mechanism has a second moving frame. A mounting frame is rotatably connected to the lower part of the second moving frame, and the mounting frame has multiple air ducts. The front end of the mounting frame has multiple heat sinks, and the rear end of the mounting frame has a guide plate. The second moving frame has multiple take-up devices, and the telescopic end of the take-up device has a connecting line, the other end of which is connected to the guide plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, the material plate carrying the FCC finished product is conveyed in via an input conveyor belt. The lifting mechanism separates the material plate from the input conveyor belt, preventing the continuous operation of the conveyor belt from interfering with the positioning of the material plate. Simultaneously, it lifts the material plate and brings it close to the rotating flipping mechanism, providing precise alignment for subsequent clamping and flipping, preventing flipping failures or scratches due to material plate position deviations. The rotating flipping mechanism then clamps the material plate and flips it 180°, placing the originally downward-facing FCC finished product upwards. The material retrieval mechanism then moves flexibly between the first mounting frames on both sides, accurately removing the FCC finished product from the flipped material plate. After detection by an external camera, defective products can be transferred to a recycling mechanism for centralized storage, facilitating subsequent unified reprocessing and reducing raw material waste. Simultaneously, qualified products are stably placed on the finished product table, achieving orderly collection of qualified finished products. The entire process relies on the coordinated operation of various mechanisms, requiring minimal manual intervention, and achieves integrated operation of FCC material plate conveying, separation, flipping, retrieval, sorting, and recycling, significantly improving production efficiency.

[0013] 2. In this invention, after the lifting mechanism lifts the material plate, the vertical moving mechanism of the rotating flipping mechanism drives the screw to rotate via the second motor, causing the nut block to move along the screw. Simultaneously, relying on the guiding cooperation of the guide rail and the slider, the moving plate ensures that the subsequent components are precisely displaced vertically downwards. Then, the clamping mechanism clamps the front and rear ends of the material plate to prevent it from slipping during subsequent movement and flipping. Next, the vertical moving mechanism drives the material plate upwards, and the lifting mechanism resets simultaneously, completely detaching the material plate from the lifting mechanism. This avoids interference between the material plate and the lifting mechanism during flipping, reducing the risk of component collisions. Afterwards, the first motor drives the worm gear reducer to operate, causing the rotating frame to rotate smoothly. When the rotating flipping mechanism completes material handling and flipping, the limiting mechanism can push the limiting block out via the first cylinder, allowing its V-shaped outer end to precisely insert into the limiting groove of the docking block. This effectively limits the position of the rotating frame, ensuring it remains horizontal and preventing misalignment of the subsequent material handling mechanism due to the rotating frame tilting, further guaranteeing the accuracy of FCC finished product handling.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0017] Example: A rotating and feeding device for flexible copper clad laminate production, configured as follows Figure 1-7 As shown, the device includes a workbench 1, which is made of Q235 steel plate and has been treated with shot blasting and electrostatic spraying. The workbench 1 is used to support all components of the device and provides a stable and flat operating base for the overall processing. The workbench 1 is equipped with a first mounting bracket 2 on the front and rear sides. The first mounting bracket 2 is made of Q235 angle steel and is fixed to the workbench 1 by welding. The welding points are treated with rust prevention. The first mounting bracket 2 is used to support the rotating flipping mechanism 5 and the material picking mechanism 8, ensuring that the installation position of each core mechanism is accurate and stable and avoiding displacement during operation. An input conveyor belt 3 is located on the upper right side of the workbench 1. The input conveyor belt 3 is a chain conveyor belt, with the protruding part of the chain contacting the material plate to enhance friction. The input conveyor belt 3 is hollow in the middle, and its frame is made of Q235 steel plate bent into shape. It is used to convey the material plate carrying the FCC finished product, connecting to the previous processing steps to achieve automated feeding of the material plate without manual handling. The hollow middle section also provides space for the installation and operation of the lifting mechanism 6. A finished product platform 4 is located on the upper left side of the workbench 1. The finished product platform 4 is made of 304 stainless steel plate with a brushed surface to prevent scratching the FCC finished product. It is used to store qualified FCC finished products, achieving orderly collection of qualified products for subsequent packaging or transfer. The device also includes: The rotating flipping mechanism 5, located between the two first mounting brackets 2 and above the input conveyor belt 3, is used to flip the material plate 180°, so that the FCC finished product, which was originally facing down, is placed facing up, providing conditions for subsequent accurate material handling; such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the rotating flipping mechanism 5 includes a first mounting base 100 disposed inside the first mounting frame 2. The first mounting base 100 is made of Q235 steel plate and is fixed to the first mounting frame 2 by bolts. It is used to install the vertical moving mechanism 101 and provide a stable mounting carrier for the vertical moving mechanism 101. The vertical moving mechanism 101 is disposed inside the first mounting base 100. The moving end of the vertical moving mechanism 101 is provided with a moving plate 102. The moving plate 102 is made of 6061 aluminum alloy plate, which combines lightweight and rigidity. It is used to support the worm gear reducer 103 and the rotating frame 105, transmit the power of the vertical moving mechanism 101, and drive the subsequent components to rise and fall. The worm gear reducer 103 is disposed inside the moving plate 102 on one side. It is used to reduce speed and increase torque, converting the high-speed rotation of the first motor 104 into the smooth low-speed rotation of the rotating frame 105. To prevent the material plate from shaking during flipping, the input end of the worm gear reducer 103 is equipped with a first motor 104, which is a servo motor, used to provide rotational power to drive the worm gear reducer 103 to operate. The output end of the worm gear reducer 103 is rotatably connected to the moving plate 102 on the other side via a bearing, and a rotating frame 105 is formed by welding Q235 steel pipe. The welding points are stress-relieved and used to install the clamping mechanism 106, which carries the material plate and drives it to flip. The clamping mechanism 106 is symmetrically arranged on the rotating frame 105. The clamping mechanism 106 is an existing product. Its principle is to drive the clamping arm to tighten inward through the clamping cylinder to clamp the material plate and prevent the material plate from slipping or shifting during lifting and flipping. Limiting mechanisms 107 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the worm gear reducer 103. The vertical moving mechanism 101 includes a second motor 108 disposed above the first mounting base 100. The second motor 108 is a servo motor, used to provide lifting power and drive the screw 109 to rotate. The output end of the second motor 108 is connected to the screw 109 via a coupling. The screw 109 is provided with a nut block 110, which is fixedly connected to the moving plate 102 by bolts. This connection is used to link the screw 109 and the moving plate 102, converting the rotational motion of the screw 109 into the vertical linear motion of the moving plate 102. The first mounting base 100 is symmetrically provided with guide rails 111 located on both sides of the screw 109. The guide rails 111 are provided with sliders 112, which are matched with the guide rails 111. The sliders 112 are fixedly connected to the moving plate 102 by bolts, used to support the moving plate 102 and ensure that the moving plate 102 rises and falls smoothly.The limiting mechanism 107 includes mounting blocks 113 respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the worm gear reducer 103 and a docking block 114 disposed on the rotating frame 105. Both mounting blocks 113 and docking blocks 114 are made of Q235 steel plate. The mounting block 113 is fixed to the housing of the worm gear reducer 103 by bolts, and the docking block 114 is fixed to the rotating frame 105 by welding. A first cylinder 115 is provided on the outer side of the mounting block 113. The output end passes through the mounting block 113 and is connected to the limiting block 116 by a thread. The limiting block 116 is made of 45 steel and has a V-shaped outer end. The surface of the V-shaped end is precision ground to cooperate with the limiting groove 117 to limit the rotation of the rotating frame 105. The docking block 114 is milled with a limiting groove 117 on the side facing the limiting block 116. The limiting groove 117 is a V-shaped groove. The limiting groove 117 cooperates with the limiting block 116 and achieves precise positioning through the fit with the V-shaped limiting block 116. After the lifting mechanism 6 lifts the material plate, the vertical moving mechanism 101 of the rotating flipping mechanism 5 drives the screw 109 to rotate via the second motor 108. Because the nut block 110 is threadedly engaged with the screw 109 and is restricted by the guide rail 111 slider 112, the nut block 110 moves vertically along the screw 109, causing the moving plate 102 and subsequent components to move vertically downwards precisely. Then, the clamping cylinder of the clamping mechanism 106 is activated, driving the clamping arm to tighten inwards, reliably clamping the front and rear ends of the material plate. Next, the vertical moving mechanism 101 drives the material plate to rise to the preset height, and the lifting mechanism 6 is reset simultaneously, so that the material plate is completely detached from the lifting mechanism 6, preventing the material plate from flipping. Interference with the lifting mechanism 6 is avoided to reduce the risk of component collision. Then, the first motor 104 starts and drives the worm gear reducer 103 to operate. Because the worm gear reducer 103 has self-locking properties, it can prevent the rotating frame 105 from rotating when there is no power, and drive the rotating frame 105 to rotate smoothly 180°. When the rotating flipping mechanism 5 completes the material picking and flipping, the first cylinder 115 of the limiting mechanism 107 drives the limiting block 116 to extend, so that its V-shaped outer end is accurately inserted into the limiting groove 117 of the docking block 114, effectively limiting the position of the rotating frame 105 and ensuring that the rotating frame 105 remains in a horizontal state, providing a guarantee for the subsequent material picking mechanism 8 to accurately pick up materials.

[0018] The lifting mechanism 6, located below the input conveyor belt 3, separates and lifts the material plate from the input conveyor belt 3 to prevent the conveyor belt's operation from interfering with the material plate's positioning. Simultaneously, it precisely delivers the material plate to the area below the rotating flipping mechanism 5 for easy clamping. Figure 5As shown, the lifting mechanism 6 includes a first mounting plate 60 disposed below the inner side of the input conveyor belt 3. The first mounting plate 60 is made of Q235 steel plate and is fixed to the bottom crossbeam of the workbench 1 by bolts. It is used to install the lifting assembly and provide stable support for the second cylinder 61 and the lifting frame 62. The second cylinder 61 is located below the first mounting plate 60. The telescopic end of the second cylinder 61 passes through the first mounting plate 60 and is connected to the lifting frame 62 by a flange. The lifting frame 62 is made of Q235 steel plate and welded together. The milled surface is used to support the material plate, directly contacting and lifting it. A first guide rod 63 is bolted to the bottom of the lifting frame 62. The first guide rod 63 is slidably connected to the first mounting plate 60 via a linear bearing, guiding the lifting frame 62 and ensuring it rises and falls only vertically to avoid tilting. Matching rods 64 are provided at the four corners of the lifting frame 62. These matching rods, made of 45# steel, are welded to the lifting frame 62, their positions corresponding to the pre-set matching holes on the material plate. When the material plate moves with the input conveyor belt 3 to directly above the lifting mechanism 6, the conveyor belt stops operating, the extension end of the second cylinder 61 extends, and the lifting frame 62 slowly rises, first bringing the matching rods 64 close to the matching holes on the material plate. An external camera can be used to check for precise alignment. If the matching rod 64 is successfully inserted into the matching hole, it indicates that the material plate is accurately positioned. The lifting frame 62 continues to rise to the preset height, so that the material plate is completely separated from the input conveyor belt 3. If the matching rod 64 is not aligned with the matching hole, the conveyor belt finely adjusts the position of the material plate until the pairing is successful, so as to avoid subsequent flipping failure due to material plate offset and ensure the accuracy of lifting and clamping.

[0019] The recycling mechanism 7, located on the left side of the input conveyor belt 3, is used to collect and centrally store non-conforming FCC products, preventing them from being mixed with conforming products and facilitating subsequent unified rework, thus reducing material waste. Figure 6As shown, the recycling mechanism 7 includes a support frame 70 located on the front side of the workbench 1. The support frame 70 is welded from Q235 angle steel, and its bottom is fixed to the ground with expansion bolts to support the output conveyor belt 71 and ensure the stability of the output conveyor belt 71. The output conveyor belt 71 is located between the support frame 70 and the workbench 1. The output conveyor belt 71 is a belt conveyor and is located between the input conveyor belt 3 and the finished product table 4. The front end of the output conveyor belt 71 is provided with a blocking frame 72. The blocking frame 72 is welded from 304 stainless steel plate, which is rust-proof and easy to clean, and is used to limit the flow of waste. The system controls the movement of non-conforming products, centrally storing them to prevent them from slipping. An inlet 73 at the rear of the blocking frame 72 allows non-conforming products to enter smoothly, ensuring they can pass smoothly onto the output conveyor belt 71. A 3mm gap exists between the front plate of the blocking frame 72 and the output conveyor belt 71 to prevent friction and wear, extending the belt's lifespan. Multiple material handling doors 74 are hinged to the upper end of the blocking frame 72, allowing workers to handle non-conforming products without direct dust entry and facilitating operation. When the material handling mechanism 8 detects a non-conforming FCC product, it places it on the output conveyor belt 71. The conveyor belt 71 starts, moving the non-conforming product towards the blocking frame 72. The product enters through the rear inlet 73 until it reaches the front plate, where it is blocked and stored centrally. When the non-conforming product needs to be removed, workers simply rotate the material handling doors 74 upwards to retrieve it, making operation convenient.

[0020] The material handling mechanism 8, located between the first mounting brackets 2 on both sides, is used to retrieve FCC products from the flipped material plate and transfer them to the finished product table 4 or the recycling mechanism 7, realizing automated product handling and sorting, replacing manual operation, improving efficiency, and reducing the risk of human-caused damage; Figure 4As shown, the material handling mechanism 8 includes a lateral moving mechanism 80 mounted on the first mounting brackets 2 on both sides. The lateral moving mechanism 80 is a conventional mechanism, and its principle is similar to that of the vertical moving mechanism 101—a servo motor drives a ball screw to rotate, which in turn moves the matching nut seat and the moving end. Simultaneously, it relies on a linear guide rail for guidance, ensuring precise movement. The moving end of the lateral moving mechanism 80 is equipped with a moving frame 81, which is made of 6061 aluminum alloy profiles, making it lightweight and rigid. It is used to mount the third cylinder 82 and the first moving frame 83, supporting the material handling assembly and moving with the lateral moving mechanism 80. The third cylinder 82 is bolted to the moving frame 81. The telescopic end of the third cylinder 82 is set downwards and connected to the first moving frame 83 via a flange. The first moving frame 83 is made of Q235 steel plate with a milled and smooth surface, used to mount the suction cup 84 and the second guide rod 85, supporting the suction cup 84 and driving its lifting and lowering. The lower end of the first moving frame 83... Multiple suction cups 84 are evenly arranged with threads. The suction cups 84 are made of silicone and have a wavy adsorption surface to enhance sealing. The air vents of the suction cups 84 face upward and are connected to a vacuum pump through air pipes. They are used to adsorb FCC products and use negative pressure to pick up and put down the products, avoiding mechanical clamping damage to the flexible substrate. Multiple second guide rods 85 are fixed to the first moving frame 83 with bolts. Second mounting plates 86 are symmetrically arranged on the first moving frame 83. The second mounting plates 86 are made of Q235 steel plate and are fixed to the moving frame 81 with bolts. The second mounting plates 86 and the second guide rods 85 are slidably connected by linear bearings to support the second guide rods 85 and further restrict the movement direction of the first moving frame 83. A limiting plate 87, also made of Q235 steel plate, is bolted between the upper parts of the second guide rods 85 on the same side to limit the maximum descent height of the first moving frame 83 and prevent the first moving frame 83 from descending excessively and detaching from the moving frame 81. When material needs to be retrieved, the lateral moving mechanism 80 drives the moving frame 81 to move directly above the rotating flipping mechanism 5; then the telescopic end of the third cylinder 82 extends, driving the first moving frame 83 and suction cup 84 to descend until the suction cup 84 is in contact with the surface of the FCC product; the vacuum pump is started, and a negative pressure is formed in the suction cup 84, firmly adsorbing the product; the telescopic end of the third cylinder 82 retracts, driving the product to rise to a safe height; the lateral moving mechanism 80 continues to drive the moving frame 81 to move—if the product is qualified, it moves directly above the finished product table 4; if it is not qualified, it moves directly above the output conveyor belt 71 of the recycling mechanism 7; after reaching the target position, the telescopic end of the third cylinder 82 extends, sending the product to the preset height, then the vacuum pump stops working, the negative pressure in the suction cup 84 disappears, and the product is placed stably on the finished product table 4 or the output conveyor belt 71, completing the retrieval and placement.

[0021] The workbench 1 is also equipped with a heat dissipation mechanism 9, which is used to dissipate heat from the FCC products on the flipped material plate, preventing thermal deformation of the FCC products due to residual heat after processing, and ensuring the dimensional accuracy and performance stability of the products; Figure 7 As shown, the heat dissipation mechanism 9 includes a second mounting frame 90 located outside the first mounting frame 2. The second mounting frame 90 is formed by welding Q235 angle steel. A vertical moving mechanism 91 is provided on the second mounting frame 90. The vertical moving mechanism 91 is a conventional existing mechanism, and its principle is similar to that of the vertical moving mechanism 101—a ball screw is driven to rotate by a servo motor, which drives the matching nut seat and the moving end to move. At the same time, it relies on the linear guide rail for guidance to ensure accurate movement. A second moving frame 92 is provided at the moving end of the vertical moving mechanism 91. The second moving frame 92 is made of 6061 aluminum alloy plate and is used to install the mounting frame 93 and the take-up device 96, to carry the heat dissipation components and to move with the vertical moving mechanism 91. The mounting frame 93 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the second moving frame 92 by a pin shaft. Multiple mounting frames are evenly arranged inside the mounting frame 93. The air duct is used to guide airflow. Multiple radiators 94 are evenly mounted on the front end of the mounting frame 93 via bolts. Each radiator 94 is a small axial flow fan used to generate airflow and provide the cool air required for heat dissipation. A guide plate 95, made of acrylic, is mounted on the rear end of the mounting frame 93 via bolts. This guide plate is used to adjust the airflow direction and change the direction of airflow to ensure uniform heat dissipation. Multiple retractors 96, spring-loaded retractors 96, are mounted on the second movable frame 92 via bolts. These retractors are used to retract and extend the connecting line 97. The angle of the guide plate 95 is controlled by adjusting the length of the connecting line 97. The telescopic end of the retractor 96 is equipped with a connecting line 97 made of nylon. The other end of the connecting line 97 is connected to the guide plate 95 to connect the retractor 96 and the guide plate 95, transmitting the tension of the retractor 96. After the rotating flipping mechanism 5 completes the flipping of the material plate and the FCC product faces upward, the vertical moving mechanism 91 is activated, driving the second moving frame 92 and the mounting frame 93 to reciprocate directly above the material plate. At the same time, the radiator 94 is activated, and the generated cold air is evenly blown onto the surface of the FCC product through the air passage in the mounting frame 93, carrying away residual heat. During the process, the take-up device 96 can be controlled to take in and release the connecting wire 97. When taking in the wire, the connecting wire 97 pulls the guide plate 95 to rotate upward, so that the air direction is tilted upward. When releasing the wire, the guide plate 95 rotates downward under the action of gravity, so that the air direction is tilted downward, thereby adjusting the angle of the airflow blowing towards the product to ensure uniform heat dissipation. When the rotating flipping mechanism 5 performs material taking or flipping actions, the take-up device 96 starts to take in the wire, pulling the guide plate 95 to rotate upward until it is parallel to the mounting frame 93, avoiding collision between the guide plate 95 and the rotating flipping mechanism 5, and ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

[0022] Working principle: The pallet carrying the FCC finished product is first transported into the device via the input conveyor belt 3 on the upper right side of the workbench 1. When the pallet moves directly above the lifting mechanism 6, the input conveyor belt 3 stops operating.

[0023] The lifting mechanism 6 is activated: the second cylinder 61 below it drives the lifting frame 62 to rise. The matching rods 64 at the four corners of the lifting frame 62 first align with the pre-set matching holes of the material plate. After confirming the precise fit, the lifting frame 62 continues to rise, completely separating the material plate from the input conveyor belt 3. At the same time, the material plate is lifted and brought close to the rotating flipping mechanism 5.

[0024] Then the rotating flipping mechanism 5 starts working: the vertical moving mechanism 101 inside the first mounting base 100 starts, the second motor 108 drives the screw 109 to rotate, the nut block 110 moves along the screw 109, and under the guidance of the guide rails 111 on both sides and the slider 112, it drives the moving plate 102 to move vertically downward, so that the clamping mechanism 106 on the rotating frame 105 approaches the material plate. The clamping mechanism 106 firmly clamps the front and rear ends of the material plate. Then the vertical moving mechanism 101 drives the material plate to rise, and the second cylinder 61 of the synchronous lifting mechanism 6 retracts. The lifting frame 62 is retracted to reset, preventing interference with the lifting mechanism 6 when the material plate is flipped. Then, the first motor 104 drives the worm gear reducer 103 to rotate, causing the rotating frame 105 to smoothly complete a 180° flip, so that the FCC finished product that was originally facing down is placed facing up. When the material is picked up and flipped, the limiting mechanism 107 on the upper and lower sides of the worm gear reducer 103 is activated, and the first cylinder 115 pushes the V-shaped limiting block 116 to extend and accurately insert into the limiting groove 117 of the docking block 114 on the rotating frame 105, ensuring that the rotating frame 105 remains horizontal.

[0025] Finally, the material handling mechanism 8 operates as follows: the lateral moving mechanism 80 on the first mounting frame 2 on both sides moves the moving frame 81 to directly above the rotating frame 105. The third cylinder 82 on the moving frame 81 extends, driving the first moving frame 83 to descend. The suction cup 84 at the lower end of the first moving frame 83 adheres to the surface of the FCC finished product. An external vacuum pump generates negative pressure on the suction cup 84 to adsorb the product. The third cylinder 82 retracts, causing the product to rise. The lateral moving mechanism 80 continues to move the moving frame 81, and an external camera performs a quality inspection on the product. If the product is found to be defective, the material handling mechanism 8 transfers it to the recycling mechanism 7 on the left side of the input conveyor belt 3. The product is placed on the output conveyor belt 71 of the recycling mechanism 7. The output conveyor belt 71 transports the defective product to the blocking frame 72 for centralized storage, facilitating subsequent unified reprocessing and reducing material waste. If the product is found to be qualified, it is transferred to the finished product table 4 on the left side above the workbench 1. The suction cup 84 releases negative pressure, and the qualified product is placed stably on the finished product table 4, achieving the orderly collection of qualified finished products.
