Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food swivel machine technology, and in particular to a food swivel machine with a communication module. Background Technology

[0002] A communication module tray placement machine is an automated device specifically designed to precisely and efficiently arrange and place small, precision electronic components (such as 5G communication modules, Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth modules, and RF chips) from a loose state (e.g., vibratory feeder feeding, tape / tray input, or manual loading) into specific carriers (e.g., trays, blister trays, jig trays). Its core objective is to replace manual tray placement, solving the problems associated with communication modules due to their small size, high precision requirements, and susceptibility to damage, thus meeting the stringent demands of the electronics manufacturing industry for production efficiency, consistency, and yield.

[0003] Currently available automatic tray-stacking machines are mostly semi-automatic designs. During the tray-stacking process, several stations require manual operation, making continuous tray-stacking impossible. This results in high labor costs and low production efficiency, hindering the rapid development of enterprises. Furthermore, human intervention during machine operation can easily cause secondary quality damage to the trayed products, which is detrimental to mass production. This is especially true for relatively fragile products like communication modules, where the tray-stacking process requires strict control to ensure the products are not damaged by the actions performed during tray-stacking.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 as well as Figure 17As shown, a communication module tray loading machine includes a machine base 1. The machine base 1 is provided with a first feeding mechanism 2 arranged left and right for feeding communication modules. A vision inspection mechanism 3 is provided in front of the first feeding mechanism 2. A transport mechanism 4 for moving communication modules left and right is provided on the left side of the vision inspection mechanism 3. A first transfer component 5 arranged front and back is provided on the left side of the transport mechanism 4. A second feeding mechanism 6 arranged left and right for tray loading is provided on the left side of the first transfer component 5. A second transfer component 7 arranged front and back is provided between the second feeding mechanism 6 and the first transfer component 5. A tray loading mechanism 8 is mounted on the machine base 1, arranged left and right and spanning above the first feeding mechanism 2, the first transfer component 5 and the second transfer component 7. A second pushing structure 9 is mounted at the rear end of the second transfer component 7. A discharging mechanism 10 arranged left and right is provided on the left side of the second pushing structure 9.

[0044] The tray-stacking mechanism 8 includes a fourth support 81 arranged on the left and right. The fourth support 81 is equipped with a fourth linear module 82 that drives left and right. A second vertical plate 83 is connected to both the front and rear sides of the fourth linear module 82. Several adsorption components 84 are arranged side by side and independently controlled on the two second vertical plates 83. A second camera 85 is provided on the second vertical plate 83 located in front of the fourth linear module 82. A second ring light source 86 is provided below the second camera 85.

[0045] In this application, the communication module tray-stacking machine is used for tray-stacking, stacking, and unloading of communication modules after detection, thereby realizing automated tray-stacking of communication modules. Specifically, the first feeding mechanism 2 feeds untested communication modules, the vision inspection mechanism 3 performs visual inspection of the communication modules, and the conveying mechanism 4 moves the communication modules from the first feeding mechanism 2 to the first transfer component 5. The first transfer component 5 moves the communication modules to a set position, facilitating the tray placement mechanism 8 to place the communication modules on a tray. The second feeding mechanism 6 feeds multiple stacked empty trays and automatically sorts the trays, conveying them one by one to the second transfer component 7. The second transfer component 7 conveys the empty trays to the bottom of the tray placement mechanism 8, allowing the tray placement mechanism 8 to place the communication modules that have been detected as good on the first transfer component 5 into the empty trays transferred on the second transfer component 7, thus achieving tray placement of the communication modules. The second pushing structure 9 pushes the trays with the communication modules placed to the workstation of the unloading mechanism 10, and stacks the trays with the communication modules one by one, so that the trays containing the communication modules flow out in a stack.

[0046] In this application, the tray placement mechanism 8 includes a fourth support 81, a fourth linear module 82, a second upright plate 83, an adsorption component 84, a second camera 85, and a second ring light source 86. The second camera 85 is used to guide the adsorption component 84, ensuring accurate positioning of the communication module to be adsorbed by the adsorption component 84, and ensuring that the adsorption component 84 can accurately adsorb the communication module. The second ring light source 86 provides uniform illumination to ensure accurate positioning of the second camera 85. The fourth support 81 is positioned above the first feeding mechanism 2, the first transfer component 5, and the second transfer component 7, facilitating the removal of defective products detected by the visual inspection mechanism 3 from the first feeding mechanism 2, and the accurate removal and placement of the communication module transferred from the first transfer component 5 into the empty tray on the second transfer component 7. The fourth support 81 is used to support the fourth linear module 82 from left to right. The fourth linear module 82 drives the two second upright plates 83 to move left and right, thereby moving the adsorption components 84 installed on the two second upright plates 83 to move left and right, achieving the transport function and ensuring the proper placement of communication modules. Each of the two second upright plates 83 is equipped with an adsorption component 84, which not only improves the efficiency of placing the communication modules but also allows for division of labor. Specifically, the adsorption component 84 on the rear second upright plate 83 is dedicated to adsorbing defective products, while the adsorption component 84 on the front second upright plate 83 is used to adsorb good products for placement. The adsorption components 84 are used to adsorb the communication modules, and each adsorption component 84 is independently controlled. This means they can perform adsorption operations individually, multiple components simultaneously, or adsorption operations can be based on the arrangement of communication modules after screening for defective products, adapting to different working conditions.

[0047] like Figure 13 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the adsorption component 84 includes a vertical drive member 841, the vertical drive member 841 is connected to a hollow motor 842, a suction cup 843 is connected below the hollow motor 842, a quick-change connector 845 is provided between the suction cup 843 and the hollow motor 842, and a third spring 844 is provided between the quick-change connector 845 and the suction cup 843.

[0048] In this embodiment, each adsorption component 84 is an independently controlled structure. The vertical drive component 841 can raise and lower the suction cup 843, facilitating the adsorption of the communication module. The hollow motor 842 drives the suction cup 843 to rotate, thereby rotating the adsorbed communication module and ensuring accurate placement and orientation of the communication module during tray placement. The quick-change connector 845 facilitates the rapid installation and replacement of the suction cup 843, enabling it to adsorb different communication modules. The third spring 844 provides cushioning, compensates for height differences, protects the suction cup 843 and the communication module, and enhances adsorption stability and adaptability.

[0049] In this embodiment, the vertical drive component 841 can be a cylinder, a linear module, or other drive devices that can achieve vertical lifting. Preferably, it is a structure of a motor, a synchronous belt, and a synchronous pulley, which is simple in structure, easy to install and maintain, and occupies little space, making it convenient to install in a compact space.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the first feeding mechanism 2 includes a first linear module 21 for left and right conveying. A horizontally arranged base plate 22 is connected above the first linear module 21. A first support plate 23 that can slide back and forth is provided above the base plate 22. A first cylinder 24 that drives the first support plate 23 to slide back and forth is connected to the rear side of the first support plate 23. Rectangular through holes are provided on both the base plate 22 and the first support plate 23.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first feeding mechanism 2 is used for feeding communication modules. The first linear module 21 enables left-right transfer, allowing the communication modules to be moved first to the vision inspection mechanism 3, and then to the corresponding position of the transport mechanism 4. This facilitates the vision inspection mechanism 3's inspection of the communication modules and the transport mechanism 4's handling of the inspected communication modules. The base plate 22 connects the first linear module 21 to the first support plate 23, which supports the communication module carrier. The first cylinder 24 drives the first support plate 23 to move back and forth. The first support plate 23 supports and positions the communication module carrier. The first cylinder 24 drives the first support plate 23 and the communication module carrier and communication modules on it to move back and forth, facilitating the inspection of the communication modules, the removal of defective products by the tray mechanism 8, and the removal of good communication modules by the transport mechanism 4. The rectangular through holes on the base plate 22 and the first support plate 23 facilitate the inspection of the communication modules, improving inspection accuracy.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the visual inspection mechanism 3 includes a first bracket 31, a first camera 32 is mounted on the upper end of the first bracket 31, a first ring light source 33 is provided in the middle of the first bracket 31, and a surface light source 34 is provided at the lower end of the first bracket 31.

[0053] In this embodiment, the visual inspection mechanism 3 is used for visual inspection of the communication module. It includes a first support 31, a first camera 32, a first ring light source 33, and a surface light source 34. The first support 31 is used to mount the first camera 32 and the first ring light source 33. The first camera 32 is used to perform visual inspection of the communication module, detecting whether there are defects in its appearance, including surface defects such as scratches, stains, damage, and deformation, as well as assembly problems and manufacturing defects. The first ring light source 33 is used to provide uniform, shadow-free front illumination from above, which is suitable for surface defect detection and improves image clarity and contrast. The surface light source 34 is set below to form a bottom light source, which not only enhances contrast but also reveals surface depressions or voids, improving the detection accuracy of the communication module.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the conveying mechanism 4 includes a second bracket 41 arranged left and right. The second bracket 41 is provided with a first horizontal drive member 42 arranged left and right. The first horizontal drive member 42 is connected to a second cylinder 43 arranged vertically upward. The upper piston rod end of the second cylinder 43 is connected to a second support plate 44 arranged horizontally. The second support plate 44 is connected to a suction nozzle quick-change module 46 through a quick clamp 45.

[0055] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 4 is used to transfer the communication modules that have been detected as good products on the first feeding mechanism 2 to the first transfer assembly 5. It includes a second bracket 41, a first horizontal drive component 42, a second cylinder 43, a second support plate 44, a quick clamp 45, and a nozzle quick-change module 46. The second bracket 41 is used to support the first horizontal drive component 42. The first horizontal drive component 42 can drive the second cylinder 43 and the correspondingly connected second support plate 44 to move synchronously left and right, thereby driving the nozzle quick-change module 46 and the communication modules it adsorbs to move synchronously left and right, thus transferring the communication modules. The second cylinder 43 can drive the second support plate 44 to rise and fall, realizing the rising and falling movement of the nozzle quick-change module 46, and achieving the suction and release of the communication modules. The second support plate 44 is used for the installation of the quick clamp 45 and the positioning of the nozzle quick-change module 46. The quick clamp 45 is used to quickly fix the nozzle quick-change module 46 and facilitate the quick replacement of the nozzle quick-change module 46, so that the nozzles on the nozzle quick-change module 46 can be adapted to communication modules with different spacing.

[0056] In this embodiment, the nozzle quick-change module 46 has multiple nozzles arranged in a rectangular array, and the nozzle quick-change module 46 is provided with a quick-change air guide seat connected to the nozzle. The second support plate 44 is provided with several quick connectors, which can be quickly connected to the quick-change air guide seat and quickly fixed with two quick clamps to realize the quick-change function of the nozzle quick-change module 46. This enables the conveying mechanism 4 to meet the adsorption and conveying of communication modules arranged at different intervals. The first horizontal drive component 42 can be a cylinder, a linear module, or other linear drive structure. In this application, a cylinder is used to drive the second support plate 44 to move left and right.

[0057] like Figure 6 ,and Figure 10 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the first transfer component 5 includes a second linear module 51 for front-to-back transmission, and a horizontally arranged third support plate 52 is connected above the second linear module 51. The third support plate 52 is magnetically connected to a quick-change fixture plate 53.

[0058] The second transfer assembly 7 includes a third straight module 71 arranged side by side with the second straight module 51. A horizontally arranged fourth support plate 72 is connected above the third straight module 71. One end of the front and rear ends of the fourth support plate 72 is provided with a positioning member 73. A stop is provided on the right side of the fourth support plate 72. The left edge of the fourth support plate 72 is a slope facing downward to the left.

[0059] Preferably, the positioning component 73 includes a positioning cylinder and a positioning plate.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first transfer component 5 moves back and forth via the second linear module 51, which drives the third support plate 52 and the quick-change fixture plate 53 to move up and down synchronously. The third support plate 52 is used for the quick positioning and fixing of the quick-change fixture plate 53, and the quick-change fixture plate 53 is quickly fixed by magnetic attraction, which facilitates the replacement of the quick-change fixture plate 53. This allows the quick-change fixture plate 53 to accommodate communication modules arranged at corresponding intervals, making it widely applicable. Specifically, several magnets are embedded on the upper surface of the third support plate 52, and several iron pieces corresponding to the magnets are provided on the bottom surface of the quick-change fixture plate 53. The quick fixing and replacement of the quick-change fixture plate 53 are achieved through the attraction between the magnets and the iron pieces.

[0061] In this embodiment, the second transfer component 7 is used to transfer the pallet for the communication module's tray placement. The third linear module 71 drives the fourth support plate 72 to move back and forth, moving the pallet fixed on the fourth support plate 72 to the tray placement position and to the front of the second pushing structure 9, facilitating the second pushing structure 9 to push the placed pallet to the workstation of the unloading mechanism 10. The positioning component 73 is used to quickly fix the pallet placed on the fourth support plate 72. The positioning component 73 includes a positioning cylinder and a positioning plate. The positioning cylinder drives the positioning plate to move back and forth, thus fixing or releasing the pallet on the fourth support plate 72.

[0062] In this embodiment, the positioning member 73 is located on the rear side of the fourth support plate 72, and will not obstruct the pallet from being pushed onto the fourth support plate 72 from the left. The right side of the fourth support plate 72 is provided with a stop to block and limit the pallet, and the left edge of the fourth support plate 72 is a bevel, which facilitates the pallet being pushed onto the fourth support plate 72 without causing interference.

[0063] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 15 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the second feeding mechanism 6 includes a first double track belt 61 and a second double track belt 62 connected from left to right. A third double track belt 63 is provided in the middle of the first double track belt 61. A first pallet limiting component 64 is provided at the right end of the second double track belt 62. A first blocking component 67 is provided on the right side of the first pallet limiting component 64. A first pushing structure 65 is provided in the middle of the second double track belt 62. A first pallet assembly 66 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the second double track belt 62.

[0064] The unloading mechanism 10 includes a fourth double track belt 101 and a fifth double track belt 102 connected on the left and right. A sixth double track belt 103 is provided in the middle of the fourth double track belt 101. A second pallet limiting component 104 is provided at the right end of the fifth double track belt 102. A second pallet assembly 105 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the fifth double track belt 102. A second blocking component 106 is provided on the left side of the second pallet limiting component 104.

[0065] The right end of the third double-track belt conveyor 63 is provided with a first lifting and rotating assembly 68, and the right end of the sixth double-track belt conveyor 103 is provided with a second lifting and rotating assembly 107. The structure of the second lifting and rotating assembly 107 is the same as that of the first lifting and rotating assembly 68.

[0066] In this embodiment, the second feeding mechanism 6 is used for conveying and feeding empty pallets. It can transport stacked pallets to the right and separate the entire stack of pallets one by one, facilitating the subsequent placement of communication modules. The unloading mechanism 10 is used in conjunction with the second pushing structure 9 to stack pallets filled with communication modules one by one, and then transport the stacked pallets full of communication modules to the left.

[0067] Specifically, the second feeding mechanism 6 includes a first double-track belt conveyor 61, a second double-track belt conveyor 62, a third double-track belt conveyor 63, a first pallet limiting component 64, a first pushing structure 65, a first pallet assembly 66, a first blocking component 67, and a first lifting and rotating component 68. The first double-track belt conveyor 61 and the second double-track belt conveyor 62 have the same width, enabling them to transport stacks of pallets placed front to back from left to right. The third double-track belt conveyor 63 is located in the middle of the first double-track belt conveyor 61, and its width is narrower than that of the first double-track belt conveyor 61. It can transport stacks of pallets placed left to right to the right, and through the lifting and rotation of the first lifting and rotating component 68, it can rotate the stacks of pallets placed left to right to be placed front to back, and then continue to transport them through the second double-track belt conveyor 62. That is, through the coordinated design of the first double-track belt conveyor 61, the second double-track belt conveyor 62, the third double-track belt conveyor 63, and the first lifting and rotating component 68, it can meet the transportation needs of stacks of pallets placed in different directions, and has strong adaptability.

[0068] The first pallet limiting component 64 is used to limit and support the entire stack of pallets, ensuring the stability of the stack and facilitating the separation of the pallets one by one. The first pallet limiting component 64 consists of four rectangular arrays of vertical baffles, with the two leftmost baffles each connected to a cylinder for driving the two baffles to move back and forth, facilitating the movement of the pallets to the center of the first pallet limiting component 64. The first pushing structure 65 is used to push the entire stack of pallets one by one from the bottom to the right from the station of the first pallet limiting component 64, and push individual pallets to the station of the second transfer component 7. The first pallet assembly 66 is used to lift all pallets in the stack except the bottom one upwards, facilitating the first pushing structure 65 to push the bottom pallet to the right, thus achieving pallet separation. The first pallet assembly 66 includes a cylinder and a push plate. Two first pallet assemblies 66 are driven by two cylinders to move the corresponding push plates back and forth. When the push plate is inserted into the stack of pallets, the entire stack of pallets is lifted. The first blocking component 67 is used to block the pallets, preventing the bottom pallet in the stack from being transported to the right by the second double-track belt conveyor 62, which would prevent it from cooperating with the second transfer component 7 and could cause the transported pallet to fall, creating a safety hazard.

[0069] The unloading mechanism 10 includes a fourth double-track belt conveyor 101, a fifth double-track belt conveyor 102, a sixth double-track belt conveyor 103, a second pallet limiting component 104, a second pallet assembly 105, a second blocking component 106, and a second lifting and rotating component 107. The operating principle of the unloading mechanism 10 is the same as that of the second loading mechanism 6. The fifth double-track belt conveyor 102 transports the stacked pallets containing communication modules, located in the second pallet limiting component 104, to the left onto the fourth double-track belt conveyor 101 and then out of the equipment. At this time, the pallets containing communication modules are arranged front-to-back. The second lifting and rotating component 107 can rotate the front-to-back pallets to a left-to-right arrangement and can rotate the pallets on the fifth double-track belt conveyor 102 to the sixth double-track belt conveyor 103, thus transporting the stacked pallets in a left-to-right arrangement to meet operational requirements and making it highly adaptable. The second pallet limiting component 104 has the same structure as the first pallet limiting component 64, and is used for stacking and positioning of the entire stack of pallets after they have been placed. The second pallet assembly 105 has the same structure as the first pallet assembly 66, and is used to lift the pallets to facilitate stacking after they have been placed. The second blocking component 106 has the same structure as the first blocking component 67, and prevents the pallets after they have been placed from being conveyed to the left as soon as they enter the fifth double-track conveyor belt 102, thus preventing the pallets from being stacked.

[0070] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the first pusher structure 65 includes a second horizontal drive member 652 arranged left and right, and the second horizontal drive member 652 is connected to two push rod assemblies 653 arranged symmetrically front and rear.

[0071] The first lifting and rotating assembly 68 includes a rotating platform 681, a lifting plate 682 is rotatably connected below the rotating platform 681, a third cylinder 683 is provided below the lifting plate 682 for driving its lifting and lowering, and a rotating drive component 684 is provided on the lifting plate 682 to drive the rotating platform 681 to rotate.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first pushing structure 65 includes a second horizontal driving member 652 and a push rod assembly 653. The second horizontal driving member 652 is mounted on the third bracket 651 and is a motor and synchronous belt structure. The synchronous belt drives the push rod assembly 653 to move left and right, thus achieving the pushing function. The push rod assembly 653 includes a connecting block 6531, a connecting rod 6532, a first upright plate 6533, a push rod 6534, a first spring 6535, and a second spring 6536. The connecting block 6531 is used to connect with the synchronous belt of the second horizontal driving member 652, so that the push rod assembly 653 is driven to move left and right. The connecting rod 6532 is used to connect the first upright plate 6533 and the connecting block 6531. The middle of the push rod 6534 is rotatably connected to the first upright plate 6533 and connected via... The first spring 6535 pulls the left end, causing the right end of the push rod 6534 to tilt upwards, facilitating the movement of the tray to the right. The second spring 6536 is sleeved on the connecting rod 6532, giving the first upright plate 6533 and the push rod 6534 elastic potential energy, ensuring flexible pushing of the tray. The third bracket 651 is equipped with a bearing, which presses the right end of the push rod 6534 downwards when the push rod assembly 653 moves to the left, ensuring that the push rod 6534 does not obstruct the tray's left-to-right transport. The two push rod assemblies 653 are arranged one after the other and connected to each other. One push rod assembly 653 is connected to the second horizontal drive member 652, so that when the second horizontal drive member 652 drives one push rod assembly 653 to move left and right, the two push rod assemblies 653 move synchronously.

[0073] like Figure 14 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the second pushing structure 9 includes a fifth bracket 91 arranged left and right. The fifth bracket 91 is provided with a third horizontal driving member 92 arranged left and right. The third horizontal driving member 92 is connected to a push plate 93 that is slidably connected to the fifth bracket 91. The push plate 93 is arranged front and rear and has a plurality of downwardly arranged push blocks 94 connected to its lower side.

[0074] In this embodiment, the second pushing structure 9 includes a fifth bracket 91, a third horizontal drive member 92, a push plate 93, and a push block 94. The fifth bracket 91 is used to install the third horizontal drive member 92. The third horizontal drive member 92 can drive the push plate 93 to move left and right. The left and right movement of the push plate 93 drives the push block 94 to move left and right synchronously. The downwardly positioned push block 94 can push the tray that has been swiveled on the second transfer assembly 7 to move to the left and push it onto the belt of the fifth double track belt line 102.

[0075] like Figure 16As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the machine tool 1 is provided with an NG module 11, which is located on the rear side of the tray mechanism 8. The NG module 11 includes a fifth linear module 111 for front and rear transmission. An NG carrier plate 112 is connected above the fifth linear module 111, and at least one NG tray 113 is placed above the NG carrier plate 112.

[0076] In this embodiment, the NG module 11 is used to hold defective communication modules detected by the visual inspection mechanism 3. The tray mechanism 8 holds the defective communication modules detected on the first feeding mechanism 2. Then, the fifth linear module 111 of the NG module 11 moves the NG carrier plate 112 and the NG tray 113 below the communication modules held by the adsorption component 84 of the tray mechanism 8, thus placing the defective communication modules into the NG tray 113. The fifth linear module 111 can move the NG carrier plate 112 back and forth, thereby moving the NG tray 113 back and forth, facilitating the placement of the defective communication modules held by the adsorption component 84 into the compartments of the NG tray 113.

[0077] In this embodiment, there are two NG trays 113, which can hold more defective products and facilitate the replacement of NG trays 113. This ensures that there is always one NG tray 113 on the workstation, so as not to hinder the continuous operation of the communication module tray placement machine.

[0078] In this application, the working process of the communication module swivel machine is as follows:

[0079] First, the first feeding mechanism 2 operates, driving the first support plate 23 and the communication module carrier placed on it to move to the work station of the vision inspection mechanism 3 through the first linear module 21. The vision inspection mechanism 3 then inspects the communication module inside the carrier.

[0080] Second, the first cylinder 24 drives the first support plate 23 to move backward, which in turn drives the carrier to move backward synchronously. Through the cooperation of the fourth linear module 82 of the tray mechanism 8, the adsorption component 84, and the second camera 85, the defective products detected in the carrier are taken out. Then, through the fifth linear module 111 of the NG module 11, the NG carrier plate 112 and the NG tray 113 are moved to the underside of the adsorption component 84. Then, the adsorption component 84 puts the adsorbed defective products onto the NG tray 113.

[0081] Third, the first feeding mechanism 2 moves the communication module belonging to the good product in the carrier to the work station of the conveying mechanism 4, and moves the carrier to the bottom of the second support plate 44 through the first cylinder 24. Under the joint action of the suction nozzle quick change module 46 and the first horizontal drive component 42, the communication module in the carrier is adsorbed, transported and placed into the quick change fixture plate 53 of the first transfer component 5. The quick change fixture plate 53 carrying the communication module is moved to the bottom of the tray mechanism 8 through the second linear module.

[0082] Fourth, the second feeding mechanism 6 operates by conveying the stack of empty pallets placed front and back to the second double track belt conveyor 62 via the first double track belt conveyor 61, or by conveying the stack of empty pallets placed left and right to the first lifting and rotating assembly 68 via the third double track belt conveyor 63. The stack of empty pallets placed left and right is lowered and rotated to front and back by the cooperation of the third cylinder 683 and the rotating drive component 684 of the first lifting and rotating assembly 68, and then conveyed to the second double track belt conveyor 62 and into the first pallet limiting assembly 64. Then, the first pallet assembly 66 supports all the empty pallets except the bottom one. Then, the second horizontal drive component 652 drives the push rod assembly 653 to move to the right, pushing the empty pallet that is not lifted and is located at the bottom to the right and onto the fourth support plate 72 of the second transfer assembly 7.

[0083] Fifth, the second transfer component 7 is activated, and the third linear module 71 drives the fourth support plate 72 to move backward to below the tray mechanism 8. Then, the tray mechanism 8, the first transfer component 5 and the second transfer component 7 work together, and under the combined action of the vertical drive component 841, the hollow motor 842 and the suction cup 843 of the adsorption component 84, the communication module on the quick-change fixture plate 53 is placed into the empty tray on the fourth support plate 72. Then, the third linear module 71 of the second transfer component 7 moves the fourth support plate 72 and the tray with the communication module placed to the work position of the second push structure 9.

[0084] Sixth, the second pushing structure 9 is activated, the third horizontal drive component 92 drives the push plate 93 to move to the left, and pushes the tray with the communication module placed on it into the second tray limiting component 104 on the fifth double track heart 102 through the push block 94;

[0085] 7. The unloading mechanism 10 operates, lifting the pallet with the communication module placed on the fifth double-track belt conveyor 102 via the second pallet assembly 105, waiting for the next pallet with the communication module placed to flow down, until the set number of pallets are stacked. Then, the second blocking assembly 106 moves downward, and the two vertical baffles on the left side of the second pallet limiting assembly 104 move aside. The fifth double-track belt conveyor 102 transports the stack of pallets with the placed pallets to the fourth double-track belt conveyor 101, where they continue to flow out of the equipment under the action of the fourth double-track belt conveyor 101. Alternatively, after the stack of pallets with the placed pallets is transported to the fourth double-track belt conveyor 101, it is limited by the limiting component. Then, the second lifting and rotating assembly 107 operates, rotating the pallets placed in front and behind to be placed left and right and placed on the sixth double-track belt conveyor 103, where they flow out of the equipment under the action of the sixth double-track belt conveyor 103, completing the entire process of the communication module pallet placement operation.
