Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of warehousing and logistics technology, specifically to a warehousing and logistics equipment with classified storage function. Background Technology
[0002] SMT (Surface Mount Technology) electronic component trays are crucial tools in the electronics manufacturing industry for storing, transporting, and managing electronic components, playing an indispensable role in SMT production lines. SMT electronic component trays are typically made of anti-static materials to prevent damage to sensitive electronic components due to electrostatic discharge. Their rational structural design usually includes multiple slots to precisely secure electronic components of different specifications, such as resistors, capacitors, and chips, ensuring that components do not loosen, fall, or collide with each other during storage and transportation. Commonly used electronic component trays have outer diameters of 7 inches, 13 inches, and 15 inches, an inner diameter of 2 inches, and widths ranging from 8mm, 12mm, and 16mm to accommodate different pick-and-place machine feeders. SMT electronic component trays possess high compatibility and versatility, adapting to various automated equipment such as pick-and-place machines and component counting machines, enabling efficient production processes.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-3 and Figure 5The warehousing and logistics equipment with classified storage function in this embodiment includes a frame 1. A feed inlet 2 and a discharge outlet 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the frame 1. A counting machine 4 is provided inside the frame 1 on the side facing the feed inlet 2. A storage bin 6 is provided in the middle of the frame 1. A material distribution mechanism 5 is provided between the counting machine 4 and the storage bin 6. A discharge mechanism 9 is provided on the side of the storage bin 6 away from the material distribution mechanism 5. The material distribution mechanism 5 includes a loading frame 501. A first mounting frame 511 and a second mounting frame 512 are fixedly connected to the bottom two sides of the loading frame 501, respectively. A loading flow line 502 is horizontally arranged on the top of the first mounting frame 511 along the direction towards the counting machine 4. A pair of baffles 503 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the discharge end of the loading flow line 502. A first transmission rod is vertically arranged on the lower side of the middle of the discharge end of the loading flow line 502. Sensor 505, a second sensor 506 is vertically arranged on one side of the bottom of the feeding flow line 502, a third sensor 507 is vertically arranged on the side of the second sensor 506 away from the feeding flow line 502, a pair of side fixing brackets 508 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding flow line 502, and a number of fourth sensors 509 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the opposite side walls of the side fixing brackets 508. The height of the number of fourth sensors 509 matches the thickness of the material tray; a first linear module 516 is horizontally arranged on the top of the first mounting bracket 511 and the second mounting bracket 512, a first lifting module 517 is vertically arranged on the moving platform of the first linear module 516, a first clamping mechanism 518 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform of the first lifting module 517, and a limiting seat 513 is fixedly connected to the top of the second mounting bracket 512.During storage, the material trays flow into the counting machine 4 through the feed inlet 2. The counting machine 4 counts the number of material trays. After counting, the material trays flow out through the counting machine 4 to the loading flow line 502, and then flow with the loading flow line 502 until they abut against the baffles 503. If the material tray has an outer diameter of 7 inches, its edge protrudes a large distance beyond the pair of baffles 503. In this case, the first sensor 505 can detect the edge of the material tray and determine that the material tray is 7 inches. If the material tray is 13 inches, its two sides protrude beyond the outside of the loading flow line 502. In this case, the second sensor 506 can detect the edge of the material tray and determine that the material tray is 13 inches. If the material tray is 15 inches, its two sides protrude a long distance beyond the outside of the loading flow line 502. In this case, the third sensor 507 can detect the edge of the material tray and determine that the material tray is 15 inches. Simultaneously, the thickness of the tray can be detected by several fourth sensors 509 on the side wall of the side fixing bracket 508. Through the above steps, trays of different diameters and thicknesses can be classified. After detection, trays with outer diameters of 13 and 15 inches remain on the loading flow line 502. If the tray is 7 inches, the first lifting module 517 is driven by the first linear module 516 to move to the top of the tray. Then, the first lifting module 517 drives the first clamping mechanism 518 to move downward to clamp the tray. Then, the tray is driven by the first linear module 516 to move to the top of the limiting seat 513. Then, the first lifting module 517 drives the first clamping mechanism 518 to place the tray on the upper part of the limiting seat 513 to limit the tray. Through the above steps, trays of different diameters can be classified.
[0028] Several light sources 514 are provided on the top edges of both the feeding conveyor 502 and the limiting seat 513. A first camera 504 and a second camera 515 are vertically fixed to the top two sides of the feeding rack 501, respectively. The first camera 504 is located at the top of the feeding conveyor 502, and the second camera 515 is located at the top of the limiting seat 513. During the detection process, the information of different types of trays can be read through the first camera 504 and the second camera 515, and the read information can be compared with the detection data to avoid material mixing caused by mismatch between the tray information and the detection data, thereby improving the classification accuracy.
[0029] The bottom of the first mounting bracket 511 and the second mounting bracket 512 are horizontally provided with a defective product unloading flow line 510, and the discharge end of the defective product unloading flow line 510 is detachably provided with a receiving box 519. When a defective product is detected, the first linear module 516 drives the material tray to move to the top of the defective product unloading flow line 510, and then the first lifting module 517 drives the first clamping mechanism 518 to place the material tray on the defective product unloading flow line 510, so that the defective product flows into the receiving box 519 along the defective product unloading flow line 510 for centralized discharge.
[0030] Please see Figure 4 The storage bin 6 includes a first storage bin 7 and a second storage bin 8 arranged adjacent to each other, with a conveying mechanism 10 between each bin. The first storage bin 7 has several first storage troughs 701 symmetrically arranged on both sides, and the second storage bin 8 has several second storage troughs 801 and third storage troughs 802 arranged on both sides respectively. A partition is provided between adjacent first storage troughs 701, second storage troughs 801, and third storage troughs 802. After the trays are sorted, the conveying mechanism 10 at the corresponding positions places 7-inch trays into the first storage troughs 701 on both sides of the first storage bin 7, 13-inch trays into the third storage troughs 802 on the side of the second storage bin 8, and 15-inch trays into the second storage troughs 801, thereby achieving classified storage of different types of materials.
[0031] Please see Figure 6 The unloading mechanism 9 includes an unloading rack 901. A first unloading flow line 902 and a second unloading flow line 903 are horizontally arranged on the top of the unloading rack 901 facing the storage bin 6. A second linear module 904 is horizontally arranged on the top of the discharge end of the first unloading flow line 902 and the second unloading flow line 903. A second lifting module 905 is vertically arranged on the moving platform of the second linear module 904. A second clamping mechanism 906 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform of the second lifting module 905. A material cart placement bin 907 and a material release box 912 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first unloading flow line 902 and the second unloading flow line 903. A rod-driven material cart 910 is arranged inside the material cart placement bin 907. The rod-driven material cart 910 can be an AGV trolley or a manually pushed trolley. The material release box 912 is detachably connected to the unloading rack 901. During unloading, the trolley 910 enters the unloading station within the trolley placement bin 907; at this time, the corresponding transport mechanism 10 places 7-inch trays onto the second unloading flow line 903, while 13-inch and 15-inch trays are placed onto the first unloading flow line 902. The corresponding sized trays follow the discharge ends of the first and second unloading flow lines 902 and 903; then, the second linear module 904 drives the second lifting module 905 to move to the top of the required tray. 05 drives the second clamping mechanism 906 to move downwards to clamp the material tray. Then, the second linear module 904 drives the second lifting module 905 to move to the top of the rod trolley 10. The second lifting module 905 then drives the second clamping mechanism 906 to move downwards to stack the material trays on the top of the rod trolley 10, thus achieving the sorting and unloading of the material trays. When a small amount of material needs to be discharged quickly, the above steps are repeated to place the material trays in the material box 912 for easy retrieval in emergency situations.
[0032] A pair of limiting cylinders 908 are symmetrically and horizontally fixedly connected to the bottom sides of the material cart placement bin 907. The piston rods of the limiting cylinders 908 are fixedly connected to limiting guide plates 909. Several guide wheels 911 are symmetrically and rotatably connected to the two sides of the rod trolley 910. When the rod trolley 910 enters the material cart placement bin 907, it can be guided by the guide wheels 911 on both sides. When the rod trolley 911 is in the unloading position, the limiting cylinders 908 drive the limiting guide plates 909 to extend, clamping and limiting the rod trolley 911 to prevent it from shaking during unloading.
[0033] Working principle: During storage, the material trays flow into the counting machine 4 through the feed inlet 2. The counting machine 4 counts the number of material trays. After counting, the material trays flow out through the counting machine 4 to the loading flow line 502, and then flow with the loading flow line 502 until they abut against the stop bars 503. If the material tray has a 7-inch outer diameter, its edge protrudes a large distance beyond the pair of stop bars 503. At this time, the first sensor 505 can detect the edge of the material tray and determine that the material tray is 7 inches. If the material tray is 13 inches, its two sides protrude beyond the outside of the loading flow line 502. At this time, the second sensor 506 can detect the edge of the material tray and determine that the material tray is 7 inches. The edge of the tray can be detected, determining that the tray is 13 inches. If the tray is 15 inches, its two sides protrude a considerable distance beyond the outer side of the loading flow line 502. In this case, the edge of the tray can be detected by the third sensor 507, determining that the tray is 15 inches. Simultaneously, several fourth sensors 509 on the side wall of the side fixing bracket 508 can detect the thickness of the tray. Through the above steps, trays of different diameters and thicknesses can be classified and detected. After detection, trays with outer diameters of 13 and 15 inches remain on the loading flow line 502. If the tray is... 7 inches. At this time, the first linear module 516 drives the first lifting module 517 to move to the top of the tray. Then, the first lifting module 517 drives the first clamping mechanism 518 to move downward to clamp the tray. Then, the first linear module 516 drives the tray to move to the top of the limiting seat 513. Then, the first lifting module 517 drives the first clamping mechanism 518 to place the tray on the upper part of the limiting seat 513 to limit the tray. Through the above steps, trays of different diameters can be classified. During the detection process, the first camera 504 and the first... The two cameras 515 can read information from different types of trays and compare the read information with the detection data to avoid mixing caused by mismatch between tray information and detection data, thus improving classification accuracy. When a defective product is detected, the first linear module 516 drives the tray to move to the top of the defective product unloading flow line 510, and then the first lifting module 517 drives the first clamping mechanism 518 to place the tray on the defective product unloading flow line 510, so that the defective product flows into the receiving box 519 along the defective product unloading flow line 510 for centralized discharge.
[0034] After the material trays are sorted, the 7-inch material trays are placed in the first storage troughs 701 on both sides of the first storage compartment 7 by the corresponding conveying mechanism 10, the 13-inch material trays are placed in the third storage trough 802 on the side of the second storage compartment 8, and the 15-inch material trays are placed in the second storage trough 801, thereby realizing the classified storage of different types of materials.
[0035] During unloading, the trolley 910 enters the unloading station within the trolley placement bin 907; at this time, the corresponding transport mechanism 10 places 7-inch trays onto the second unloading flow line 903, while 13-inch and 15-inch trays are placed onto the first unloading flow line 902. The corresponding sized trays follow the discharge ends of the first and second unloading flow lines 902 and 903; then, the second linear module 904 drives the second lifting module 905 to move to the top of the required tray. 05 drives the second clamping mechanism 906 to move downwards to clamp the material tray. Then, the second linear module 904 drives the second lifting module 905 to move to the top of the rod trolley 10. The second lifting module 905 then drives the second clamping mechanism 906 to move downwards to stack the material trays on the top of the rod trolley 10, thus achieving the sorting and unloading of the material trays. When a small amount of material needs to be discharged quickly, the above steps are repeated to place the material trays in the material box 912 for easy retrieval in emergency situations.
