[0072] The following specific embodiments will further illustrate this application in conjunction with the above-described accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0073] The following specific embodiments are exemplary and not limiting, and are intended to provide a basic understanding of this application, and are not intended to identify key or decisive elements of this application or limit the scope of protection. As long as there is no structural conflict, the technical features mentioned in the various embodiments can be combined in any manner.

[0074] When a component is considered to be "located" on another component, it can be directly on the other component or may also be interspersed with other components. When a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may also be interspersed with other components.

[0075] It's understandable that the term "perpendicular" is used to describe an ideal state between two components. In actual production or use, two components can exist in a state that is approximately perpendicular. For example, combined with numerical descriptions, perpendicularity can refer to the angle between two straight lines within the range of 90° ± 10°, the dihedral angle between two planes within the range of 90° ± 10°, or the angle between a straight line and a plane within the range of 90° ± 10°. The two components described as "perpendicular" do not have to be absolutely straight lines or planes; they can be approximately straight lines or planes. From a macroscopic perspective, if the overall direction of extension is straight or plane, the component can be considered a "straight line" or "plane."

[0076] Unless otherwise defined, the term "multiple" in this document, when used to describe the number of components, specifically means that the component is two or more.

[0077] This application provides a transfer device including a first platform, a second platform, a guide assembly, and a transfer assembly. The first platform holds a first tray containing a product. The second platform holds a second tray with multiple dispensing positions for carrying the product from the first tray. The guide assembly has multiple limiting portions, each corresponding to one of the dispensing positions on the second tray. The transfer assembly is slidably connected to the guide assembly and configured to pick up a product from the first tray, slide it to a limiting portion, and move the product to the dispensing position. Each limiting portion is configured such that when the transfer assembly moves toward the dispensing position, the limiting portion connected to the transfer assembly moves away from the transfer assembly, allowing the transfer assembly to move to an adjacent limiting portion. This transfer device picks up products through the transfer assembly and moves them to the corresponding dispensing position via the guide assembly. The limiting portions position each dispensing position, improving the accuracy of the dispensing position, avoiding collisions, increasing product yield and transfer efficiency, and ultimately improving production efficiency.

[0078] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides a transfer device 100, including a first platform 10, a second platform 20, a guide assembly 30, and a transfer assembly 40. The first platform 10 is used to place a first tray (not shown), in which a product (not shown) to be moved is placed. The second platform 20 is used to place a second tray (not shown), which has multiple dispensing positions for holding the product in the first tray. The guide assembly 30 has multiple limiting portions 31, each limiting portion 31 corresponding to one of the dispensing positions. The transfer assembly 40 is slidably connected to the guide assembly 30 and is configured to absorb the product from the first tray, slide to the limiting portion 31, and move the product to the dispensing position corresponding to that limiting portion 31. Each limiting part 31 is configured such that when the material transfer assembly 40 moves toward the dispensing position, the limiting part 31 connected to the material transfer assembly 40 moves away from the material transfer assembly 40, and the material transfer assembly 40 can move to an adjacent limiting part 31, thereby allowing the material transfer assembly 40 to place another product into another dispensing position. This application uses the material transfer assembly 40 to attract products and the guide assembly 30 to move them to the corresponding dispensing position. The limiting parts 31 are used to position each dispensing position, improving the accuracy of the dispensing position, avoiding collisions, increasing product yield and material transfer efficiency, and thus improving production efficiency.

[0079] In some embodiments, the transfer device 100 includes a base 101, a first platform 10 and a second platform 20 arranged along a first direction X on the base 101, and a guide assembly 30 fixedly connected to the base 101. A material transfer assembly 40 is slidably connected to the guide assembly 30 along the first direction X, and a plurality of limiting portions 31 are spaced apart along the first direction X on the moving path of the material transfer assembly 40. Along the first direction X, the material transfer assembly 40 passes through each limiting portion 31 in sequence.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first platform 10 includes a first base plate 11 and a first positioning plate 12 disposed along a second direction Y. The first base plate 11 is fixedly connected to a base 101, and the first positioning plate 12 is connected to the first base plate 11. The first positioning plate 12 is provided with a plurality of first limiting blocks 121, which can position the first tray. The first positioning plate 12 is provided with at least two first positioning pins 122, which can further position the first tray, facilitating the accurate adsorption of products from the first tray by the material transfer assembly 40. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0081] In some embodiments, the position of the first positioning plate 12 relative to the first base plate 11 can be adjusted, which further facilitates the material transfer assembly 40 in accurately picking up products from the first carrier tray. Optionally, when products of different specifications are placed in the first carrier tray, the position of the first positioning plate 12 can be adjusted, which facilitates the material transfer assembly 40 in accurately picking up products from the first carrier tray.

[0082] In some embodiments, the second tray includes a first side feeding position and a second side feeding position. Products in the first side feeding position and products in the second side feeding position are placed in opposite directions, and the first side feeding position and the second side feeding position can alternately hold products. The first side feeding position and the second side feeding position can increase the number of feeding positions on the second tray, thereby increasing the number of products that can be placed, reducing the number of times the second tray needs to be replaced, and thus improving production efficiency.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second platform 20 is rotatably connected to the base 101. When the first side feeding position is full of products, the second platform 20 is rotated to allow the second side feeding position to continue carrying products. Optionally, the second platform 20 can rotate by an angle of 180°. Optionally, the second platform 20 can be rotated manually. Optionally, the second platform 20 is connected to a rotation drive (not shown), which is located inside the base 101 and drives the second platform 20 to rotate.

[0084] In some embodiments, the second platform 20 includes a second base plate 21 and a second positioning plate 22 disposed along a second direction Y. The second base plate 21 is rotatably connected to the base 101, and the second positioning plate 22 is connected to the second base plate 21. The second positioning plate 22 is provided with a plurality of second limiting blocks 221, which can position the second tray. The second positioning plate 22 is provided with at least two second positioning pins 222, which can further position the second tray, which is beneficial for the material transfer assembly 40 to accurately place the product in the second tray, avoid collisions between products, and improve product yield.

[0085] Please see Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments, the guide assembly 30 includes a connecting frame 32, which is fixedly connected to the base 101. Multiple limiting portions 31 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 32. The connecting frame 32 includes a first fixing plate 321, a second fixing plate 322, a first support plate 323, a second support plate 324, and a guide post 325. The first fixing plate 321 and the second fixing plate 322 are arranged and fixed to the base 101 along a first direction X. The first support plate 323 extends along the first direction X and is fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 321 and the second fixing plate 322. The second support plate 324 is arranged along the first direction X and is fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 321 and the second fixing plate 322. The first support plate 323 and the second support plate 324 are arranged along a third direction Z. The first fixing plate 321, the second fixing plate 322, the first support plate 323, and the second support plate 324 enclose a first space 32a. A guide post 325 connects the first fixing plate 321 and the second fixing plate 322, and is located within the first space 32a. The material transfer assembly 40 is connected to the guide post 325 and can reciprocate relative to the guide post 325 along a first direction X. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are all perpendicular to each other.

[0086] In some embodiments, the guide assembly 30 includes two guide posts 325, which are spaced apart along the second direction Y. The material transfer assembly 40 is connected to the two guide posts 325, which helps to improve the smoothness of the material transfer assembly 40 sliding along the first direction X.

[0087] In some embodiments, the second support plate 324 is provided with a slide rail 324a on the side opposite to the base 101. The material transfer component 40 is connected to the slide rail 324a, which can support the material transfer component 40 and further improve the smoothness of the material transfer component 40 sliding along the first direction X.

[0088] In some embodiments, the guide component 30 includes a first stop 33, which is fixedly connected to the side of the second support plate 324 opposite to the first support plate 324. The first stop 33 is located at the end of the second support plate 324 and corresponds to the position where the transfer component 40 picks up the product from the first carrier tray. In use, the transfer component 40 is slid and contacts the first stop 33 to position the material picking position of the transfer component 40. Then, the transfer component 40 is pressed down along the second direction Y to pick up the product from the first carrier tray. The first stop 33 can accurately position the material picking position of the transfer component 40, which is beneficial for the transfer component 40 to accurately pick up the product. When the transfer component 40 places the product in the second carrier tray, it can avoid collisions between products, which helps to improve product yield.

[0089] In some embodiments, the guide component 30 includes a second stop 34, which is fixedly connected to the side of the second support plate 324 opposite to the first support plate 323. The second stop 34 is located at the other end of the second support plate 324, and the first stop 33 and the second stop 34 are spaced apart along the first direction X. The second stop 34 corresponds to the last feeding position in the second tray along the first direction X. In use, the material transfer component 40 is slid and contacts the second stop 34 to position the feeding position of the material transfer component 40. Then, the material transfer component 40 is pressed down along the second direction Y to place the product in the feeding position. The second stop 34 can accurately position the feeding position of the material transfer component 40, which is beneficial for the material transfer component 40 to accurately place the product, avoid collisions between products, and improve product yield.

[0090] In some embodiments, the guiding component 30 includes a plurality of guide blocks 35, which are fixedly connected to the side of the second support plate 324 opposite to the first support plate 323. The guide blocks 35 are spaced apart along a first direction X. The guide blocks 35 correspond to the material picking position and the material placing position of the material transfer component 40. Each guide block 35 is provided with a guide groove 351 extending along a second direction Y. When the material transfer component 40 moves towards the first platform 10 or the second platform 20 along the second direction Y, a portion of the material transfer component 40 is disposed in the guide groove 351 and moves within the guide groove 351, guiding the material transfer component 40. This further facilitates the accurate adsorption and placement of products by the material transfer component 40, avoids collisions between products, and helps improve product yield.

[0091] In some embodiments, each limiting portion 31 is configured to extend in a third direction Z such that a portion of the limiting portion 31 is located on the movement path of the material transfer assembly 40, which moves in a first direction X and contacts the limiting portion 31 to position the product and the corresponding feeding position. Optionally, the limiting portion 31 includes a cylinder.

[0092] In some embodiments, the connecting frame 32 includes a connecting plate 326 extending along a first direction X. One end of the connecting plate 326 is connected to a first fixing plate 321, and the other end is connected to a second fixing plate 322. The guiding assembly 30 includes a plurality of detection elements 36 spaced apart along the first direction X. The detection elements 36 are configured such that when the material transfer assembly 40 moves toward the second platform 20 along the second direction Y, the detection elements 36 can detect that the limiting part 31 connected to the material transfer assembly 40 along the first direction X retracts in the opposite direction to the third direction Z according to the detection signal. This allows the material transfer assembly 40 to continue moving along the first direction X and contacting another adjacent limiting part 31 during the next round of material feeding, thereby positioning another product and another feeding position. The material transfer assembly 40 continues to move along the second direction Y and places another product in another feeding position. This cycle is repeated to sequentially place products in the feeding positions from the first tray.

[0093] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the material transfer assembly 40 includes a material transfer connector 41 and a material transfer body 42. The material transfer connector 41 is slidably connected to the guide assembly 30 along a first direction X, and the material transfer body 42 is connected to the material transfer connector 41. The material transfer body 42 is configured to move along a second direction Y and vacuum adsorb the product.

[0094] In some embodiments, the material transfer connector 41 includes a connector body 411, a guide rail 412, and a first elastic member 413. The connector body 411 is slidably connected to the guide post 325 along a first direction X, and the connector body 411 is slidably connected to the guide rail 324a along the first direction X. The guide rail 412 is fixed to the connector body 411, the material transfer body 42 is connected to the guide rail 412, and the material transfer body 42 is movable on the guide rail 412 along a second direction Y. One end of the first elastic member 413 is connected to the material transfer body 42, and the other end is connected to the connector body 411.

[0095] In some embodiments, the connecting body 411 includes a first connecting member 411a, a second connecting member 411b, and a third connecting member 411c. The first connecting member 411a is connected to the second connecting member 411b, the second connecting member 411b is connected to the third connecting member 411c, and the third connecting member 411c is connected to the first connecting member 411a. A guide rail 412 is disposed on the first connecting member 411a, one end of the first elastic member 413 is connected to the second connecting member 411b, and a guide post 325 passes through the third connecting member 411c along a first direction X.

[0096] In some embodiments, the material transfer body 42 includes a first material transfer section 421, a second material transfer section 422, and a suction nozzle 423. The first material transfer section 421 is slidably connected to a guide rail 412, the second material transfer section 422 is connected to the first material transfer section 421, and the suction nozzle 423 is connected to the bottom of the second material transfer section 422. The first material transfer section 421 moves along the guide rail 412 in a second direction Y, so that the suction nozzle 423 adsorbs the product in the first tray. One end of a first elastic member 413 is connected to the first material transfer section 421, and the other end is connected to the connecting body 411. The first elastic member 413 resets the position of the material transfer body 42.

[0097] In some embodiments, the material transfer body 42 includes a third material transfer section 424, a connecting post 425, and a second elastic member 426. The connecting post 425 passes through the second material transfer section 422 and connects to the third material transfer section 424. The second elastic member 426 is disposed between the second material transfer section 422 and the third material transfer section 424. The third material transfer section 424 is movable relative to the second material transfer section 422 via the connecting post 425. When the third material transfer section 424 moves toward the product, the suction nozzle 423 contacts and connects to the product, and the second elastic member 426 can be compressed, buffering the pressure acting on the product and preventing damage to the product.

[0098] In some embodiments, the material transfer body 42 includes a vacuum generator (not shown), which is disposed within the base 101 and connected to the suction nozzle 423 via a pipe. The base 101 is provided with a button 102. When the material transfer body 42 moves towards the first tray along the second direction Y, pressing the button 102 causes the suction nozzle 423 to vacuum-adsorb the product. When the material transfer body 42 moves towards the discharge position along the second direction Y, pressing the button 102 stops the vacuum adsorption, allowing the product to be placed in the discharge position.

[0099] In some embodiments, the material transfer assembly 40 includes a guide 43 connected to the material transfer body 42 and located between the first connector 411a and the third connector 411c. When the material transfer body 42 moves along the second direction Y toward the first platform 10 or the second platform 20, the guide 43 is disposed in the guide groove 351 and moves within the guide groove 351 to guide the material transfer body 42. This further facilitates the accurate adsorption and placement of products by the material transfer body 42, avoids collisions between products, and helps improve product yield.

[0100] In some embodiments, the material transfer assembly 40 includes a trigger 44, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first material transfer section 421. When the third connector 411c contacts one of the limiting sections 31, the material transfer body 42 moves toward the second platform 20 along the second direction Y. The trigger 44 moves accordingly, and the detection member 36 detects the trigger 44. The limiting section 31, which is in contact with the third connector 411c, retracts in the direction opposite to the third direction Z according to the detection signal, so that the material transfer connecting section 41 can continue to move along the first direction X and contact the other limiting section 31, thereby positioning the position of another product and another feeding position. The material transfer body 42 continues to move along the second direction Y and places the other product in the other feeding position.

[0101] In some embodiments, when the detection member 36 detects the trigger member 44, the limiting part 31, which is in contact with the third connecting member 411c, retracts in the direction opposite to the third direction Z according to the detection signal, and the guide member 43 is provided in the guide groove 351 and moves in the guide groove 351 to guide the material transfer body 42.

[0102] In some embodiments, the material transfer assembly 40 includes a buffer block 45, which is connected to the side of the third connector 411c facing the limiting portion 31. When the third connector 411c moves to the limiting portion 31, the buffer block 45 contacts and connects to the limiting portion 31, which can buffer the force exerted by the connecting body 41 on the limiting portion 31, avoid hard contact, and improve service life.

[0103] In some embodiments, the material transfer assembly 40 includes a handle 46 connected to the material transfer body 42, which facilitates the movement of the material transfer body 42, allowing the material transfer body 42 to move along a first direction X and a second direction Y.

[0104] In some embodiments, the transfer device 100 includes a sensing element (not shown) disposed within the base 101, with the sensing direction of the sensing element facing the second platform 20. The sensing element is configured such that when rotation of the second platform 20 is sensed, a plurality of limiting portions 31 extend along a third direction Z according to the sensing signal to perform the next pick-and-place cycle. It is understood that the material transfer assembly 40 is pre-moved to the position of the first stop 33 before the second platform 20 rotates. Optionally, the sensing element includes a distance sensor. Optionally, when the second platform 20 is not rotating, the distance sensor can sense the distance between itself and the second base plate 21; during rotation of the second platform 20, the distance sensor can sense the distance between itself and the second positioning plate 22, sensing whether the second platform 20 is rotating by the change in distance.

[0105] When using the aforementioned transfer device 100, firstly, the first tray carrying the product is placed on the first platform 10, and the empty second tray is placed on the second platform 20. Then, the handle 46 drives the material transfer connecting part 41 to slide and contact the first stop block 33. The material transfer body 42 is pressed down along the second direction Y, so that the suction nozzle 423 contacts and connects to the product. Then, the button 102 is pressed, so that the suction nozzle 423 vacuum-adsorbs the product in the first tray. Then, the first elastic element 413 resets the position of the material transfer body 42. The handle 46 drives the connecting part body 411 to move along the first direction X, so that the buffer block 45 contacts and connects to the limiting part 31 located in the first position. The material transfer body 42 is pressed down along the second direction Y, the button 102 is pressed, and the product is placed in the feeding position. During the process, the detection component 36 detects the trigger component 44, and the limiting part 31 located in the first position retracts in the opposite direction to the third direction Z according to the detection signal. Then, the material transfer connecting part 41 slides and contacts the first stop 33 to adsorb the product again, and moves in the first direction X, so that the buffer block 45 contacts the limiting part 31 located in the second position. The material transfer body 42 is pressed down in the second direction Y, the button 102 is pressed, and the product is placed in another feeding position. This cycle continues until the buffer block 45 contacts the second stop 34, the material transfer body 42 is pressed down in the second direction Y, the button 102 is pressed, the product is placed in the feeding position, and then the material transfer connecting part 41 slides to the first stop 33, the second platform 20 is rotated, and all limiting parts 31 are reset. Then, the feeding and feeding cycle is repeated.
