[0036] In related technologies, the handling device can only move multiple battery top covers from one type of tray 13 to another type of tray 13, and cannot adapt to multiple different types of trays 13, resulting in poor compatibility and severely affecting the handling efficiency of the handling device. In the handling device provided in this application embodiment, multiple picking components 203 are provided on the flipping mechanism 2, allowing each picking component 203 to be adapted to multiple different types of trays 13. Therefore, when the handling device moves workpieces 12 on different types of trays 13, the cooperation between the handling mechanism 3 and the different picking components 203 can meet the handling needs of the handling device for workpieces 12 on different types of trays 13, improving handling efficiency.

[0037] Reference Figure 1This application provides a conveying device, which includes: Mounting base 1; The flipping mechanism 2 includes a rotating base 201 and a first driving member 202. The rotating base 201 is connected to the mounting base 1. The rotating base 201 has a plurality of pickup components 203, which are spaced apart and arranged around the outer periphery of the rotating base 201. The first driving member 202 drives the rotating base 201 to rotate. The conveying mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 301 and a first movable seat 302. The mounting frame 301 is connected to the mounting seat 1. The first movable seat 302 is movably connected to the mounting frame 301 and has a movable end 3021, which is detachably connected to the picking component 203.

[0038] In the above embodiments, the mounting base 1 serves as the basic support structure of the entire handling device, providing a stable mounting platform for the flipping mechanism 2 and the handling mechanism 3, ensuring that each mechanism maintains a relatively fixed position during operation, and guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the handling device.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the outer periphery of the rotary seat 201 has multiple sides, each side can be provided with an installation station, each installation station can be equipped with a pickup component 203, each pickup component 203 is adapted to a certain type of tray 13, and each pickup component 203 is provided with multiple suction cups, which can simultaneously pick up multiple workpieces 12 placed on the tray 13. The first driving component 202 can be a motor structure or a cylinder structure, etc. The output shaft of the first driving component 202 can be fixedly connected to the central axis of the rotary seat 201, so as to accurately control the rotation angle of the rotary seat 201 through the first driving component 202, and realize the connection between different pickup components 203 and the conveying mechanism 3.

[0040] See Figure 1The rotating base 201 is equipped with a first pickup component 2031, a second pickup component 2032, a third pickup component 2033, and a fourth pickup component 2034. Each of these components corresponds to a different type of pallet. Once the workpiece 12 in one type of pallet 13 has been transported, the rotating base 201 can be rotated by the first drive component 202 to switch to another pickup component 203. This allows the workpiece 12 in another type of pallet 13 to be transported, thus meeting the transport needs of the transport device for workpieces 12 on different types of pallets 13 and improving transport efficiency. Furthermore, the method of the first drive component 202 driving the rotating base 201 to rotate and switch between the first pickup component 2031, the second pickup component 2032, the third pickup component 2033, and the fourth pickup component 2034 also makes the overall structure of the transport device simple, compact, and space-saving.

[0041] In the above embodiments, the mounting base 1 serves as the basic support structure of the first movable base 302, providing a foundation for the installation and movement of the first movable base 302, and facilitating the docking and separation of the handling mechanism 3 with different picking components 203.

[0042] See Figure 1 The mobile terminal 3021 can be detachably connected to the pickup component 203. For example, the mobile terminal 3021 has a quick-change main tray 30211, and the pickup component 203 has a quick-change tool tray 2030. After the quick-change main tray 30211 and the quick-change tool tray 2030 are adapted, they can be quickly locked and separated, satisfying the need for quick replacement between the handling mechanism 3 and the pickup component 203. By switching between different pickup components 203 through the rotating base 201, and with the detachable docking structure between the handling mechanism 3 and the pickup component 203, the handling device can be adapted to various models of pallets 13, greatly improving the compatibility and handling efficiency of the handling device. At the same time, since all structures are integrated into the mounting base 1, the layout of the handling device is compact, effectively reducing the space occupied by the device.

[0043] In one embodiment, the flipping mechanism 2 further includes a support 204, a first bracket 205 and a second bracket 206, the first bracket 205 and the second bracket 206 being connected to the support 204; the first bracket 205 and the second bracket 206 are arranged opposite to each other to form a flipping space between the support 204, the first bracket 205 and the second bracket 206, and the rotating seat 201 is disposed in the flipping space.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the support 204 serves as the basic support structure of the flipping mechanism 2, providing a platform for the installation and fixation of the first bracket 205 and the second bracket 206. The first bracket 205 and the second bracket 206 are arranged on the support 204 so that the flipping mechanism 2 can form a flipping space for mounting the rotating seat 201. This allows multiple picking components 203 on the rotating seat 201 to switch between each other by rotation within the flipping space, accurately meeting the handling requirements of workpieces 12 on different types of pallets 13 and improving the controllability of the flipping mechanism 2.

[0045] See Figure 2 The second direction can be Figure 2 In the horizontal direction, the first support 205 and the second support 206 can be located at both ends of the support 204 in the second direction, so that the flipping mechanism 2 can form a flipping space between the support 204, the first support 205 and the second support 206. By setting the rotating seat 201 in the flipping space, the structural layout of the entire flipping mechanism 2 is clearer and more reasonable, which facilitates the collaborative work between the components. In addition, the structure of the flipping mechanism 2 is compact and occupies little space.

[0046] In one embodiment, the rotating base 201 is shaped like a prism, and the base of the prism is shaped like a triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, or hexagon.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the rotating seat 201 can be prism-shaped, so that the rotating seat 201 can be set according to the actual handling requirements of the handling device. For example, by setting the base shape of the prism to a triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon or hexagon, three, four, five or six different picking components 203 can be set on the rotating seat 201, effectively achieving precise satisfaction of the handling requirements of workpieces 12 on different types of pallets 13.

[0048] In one embodiment, the rotating base 201 has a first end 2011 and a second end 2012. The first end 2011 is fixedly provided with a first support shaft 20111, which is rotatably mounted on a first bracket 205. The second end 2012 is provided with a second support shaft 20121, which is rotatably mounted on a second bracket 206.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the rotating seat 201 is rotatably connected to the flipping mechanism 2 via the first support shaft 20111 and the second support shaft 20121, which facilitates precise control of the rotation angle of the rotating seat 201 by the first drive member 202, ensuring the switching effect between multiple picking components 203, meeting the handling needs of workpieces 12 on different types of pallets 13, and improving handling efficiency.

[0050] In one embodiment, the conveying device further includes a positioning mechanism 4, through which the picking component 203 is connected to the rotating seat 201.

[0051] In the above embodiments, the positioning mechanism 4 can be multiple positioning pins set at each installation position of the rotary seat 201. The bottom of the pickup component 203 is provided with positioning holes that are adapted to the positioning pins. The insertion and engagement of the positioning pins and positioning holes can realize the rapid positioning of the pickup component 203 on the rotary seat 201, ensuring the consistency of the installation position of each pickup component 203 and avoiding docking failure or misalignment due to installation deviation. The precise positioning through the positioning structure ensures the docking accuracy between the pickup component 203 and the moving end 3021 of the conveying mechanism 3, reduces docking deviation, and improves the reliability and efficiency when switching the pickup component 203.

[0052] In one embodiment, the conveying device further includes a clamping mechanism 5, which includes a clamping member 501 and a second driving member 502. The clamping member 501 is disposed opposite to the pickup assembly 203. The fixed end of the second driving member 502 is disposed on the rotating seat 201, and the driving end of the second driving member 502 is connected to the clamping member 501. The second driving member 502 drives the clamping member 501 to move closer to or away from the pickup assembly 203.

[0053] In the above embodiments, the second driving member 502 can be a motor or a rotary pressing cylinder, etc. The fixed end of the second driving member 502 can be installed on the rotating seat 201, and the driving end of the second driving member 502 can be connected to the pressing member 501 so that the rotation pressing or rotation resetting action can be realized by driving the second driving member 502.

[0054] See Figure 3 After the pickup component 203 is positioned by the positioning mechanism 4, the second driving member 502 can drive the clamping member 501 to press down, so that the clamping member 501 abuts against the pickup component 203, thus firmly fixing the pickup component 203 to the installation position of the rotating seat 201. When the pickup component 203 needs to be replaced, the second driving member 502 drives the clamping member 501 to rotate upward and reset, separating the clamping member 501 from the pickup component 203, facilitating the docking of the moving end 3021 of the conveying mechanism 3 with the pickup component 203. By fixing the pickup component 203 through the clamping mechanism 5, the positional stability of the pickup component 203 during rotation and docking is ensured, improving the replacement efficiency of the pickup component 203.

[0055] In some embodiments, the clamping member 501 and the pickup assembly 203 can also be connected by screws, snaps, or other means to securely fix the pickup assembly 203 to the mounting position of the rotating base 201.

[0056] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 3 further includes a second movable seat 303 and a third driving member 304. The first movable seat 302 and the third driving member 304 are disposed on the second movable seat 303. The third driving member 304 drives the first movable seat 302 to move closer to or away from the flipping mechanism 2 so as to realize the docking or separation of the movable end 3021 from the picking component 203.

[0057] In the above embodiments, the second movable seat 303 can provide a mounting carrier for the first movable seat 302 and the third driving member 304, so that both the first movable seat 302 and the third driving member 304 can be set on the second movable seat 303. The third driving member 304 can be a motor structure or a cylinder structure, etc., so as to drive the first movable seat 302 to move closer to or away from the flipping mechanism 2, and realize the precise docking or separation of the movable end 3021 and the picking component 203.

[0058] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The third driving component 304 can be a linear cylinder, with its cylinder body fixed to the second movable seat 303 and its piston rod fixedly connected to the first movable seat 302. Through the extension and retraction of the linear cylinder, the first movable seat 302 is driven to slide on the second movable seat 303, achieving precise docking or separation between the moving end 3021 and the pickup assembly 203. The third driving component 304 allows for precise control of the moving distance of the first movable seat 302, ensuring accurate docking between the quick-change master disk 30211 of the moving end 3021 and the quick-change tool disk 2030 of the pickup assembly 203. This avoids structural damage to the moving end 3021 and the pickup assembly 203 due to docking errors, improving the docking efficiency and reliability of the pickup assembly 203.

[0059] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 3 further includes a third movable seat 305 and a fourth driving member 306, wherein the second movable seat 303 and the fourth driving member 306 are disposed on the third movable seat 305; the fourth driving member 306 drives the second movable seat 303 to move along a second direction on the third movable seat 305.

[0060] In the above embodiments, both the second movable base 303 and the fourth driving member 306 can be disposed on the third movable base 305, and the third driving member 304 can be a motor structure or a cylinder structure, etc. The second direction can be... Figure 4 The second moving seat 303 is moved along the second direction by the third driving member 304 so that the second moving seat 303 can move on the third moving seat 305 along the second direction, realizing the second-level movement of the conveying mechanism 3. The second moving seat 303 is moved in the second direction by the fourth driving member 306, so that the conveying mechanism 3 can adapt to the operation requirements of different spatial positions, effectively improving the applicability and flexibility of the conveying device.

[0061] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 301 has a first crossbeam 3011, a second crossbeam 3012, a third crossbeam 3013, and a fourth crossbeam 3014. The first crossbeam 3011 and the second crossbeam 3012 are opposite each other and extend along a first direction; the third crossbeam 3013 and the fourth crossbeam 3014 are opposite each other and extend along a second direction; the first direction and the second direction intersect; a third movable seat... 305 has a third end 3051 and a fourth end 3052 that are opposite to each other. The third end 3051 is movably connected to the first crossbeam 3011, and the fourth end 3052 is movably connected to the second crossbeam 3012. The conveying mechanism 3 also includes a fifth driving member 307, which is disposed on the third crossbeam 3013 or the fourth crossbeam 3014. The fifth driving member 307 drives the third moving seat 305 to move along a first direction on the first crossbeam 3011 and the second crossbeam 3012.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the mounting frame 301 is formed by four crossbeams to form a rectangular frame structure, which makes it easy for the mounting frame 301 to be mounted above the flipping mechanism 2, so that the handling mechanism 3 can adapt to the operation requirements of different spatial positions and improve the applicability and flexibility of the handling device.

[0063] See Figure 4 The first direction can be Figure 4 The vertical direction in the middle, the second direction can be Figure 4 In the transverse direction, the first crossbeam 3011 and the second crossbeam 3012 are opposite each other. Both the first crossbeam 3011 and the second crossbeam 3012 are equipped with linear slide rails. The third end 3051 of the third moving seat 305 can slide and engage with the linear slide rail on the first crossbeam 3011, and the fourth end 3052 of the third moving seat 305 can slide and engage with the linear slide rail on the second crossbeam 3012, realizing the three-stage movement of the handling mechanism 3. By driving the third moving seat 305 to move in the first direction through the fifth driving member 307 set on the third crossbeam 3013 or the fourth crossbeam 3014, it can further adapt to the operation requirements of different spatial positions. It is convenient to meet the handling needs of the handling device for workpieces 12 on different types of pallets 13 by precisely adjusting the spatial position of the picking component 203. Moreover, the three-dimensional moving structure of the first moving seat 302, the second moving seat 303 and the third moving seat 305 greatly improves the operation flexibility and coverage of the handling mechanism 3, and significantly improves the handling efficiency.

[0064] In one embodiment, the conveying device further includes a changing mechanism 6 and a conveying mechanism 7, which are disposed on the mounting base 1; the conveying mechanism 3 is mounted on the changing mechanism 6 and the conveying mechanism 7, forming a material picking space between the changing mechanism 6 and the conveying mechanism 3, and forming a material discharging space between the conveying mechanism 7 and the conveying mechanism 3.

[0065] In the above embodiments, the changing mechanism 6 is provided with multiple installation stations, each installation station corresponding to a carrier, each carrier corresponding to a type of pallet 13, and each carrier holding multiple workpieces 12; or each installation station corresponding to a type of pallet 13, and each pallet 13 holding multiple workpieces 12. The conveying mechanism 7 is provided with multiple pallets 13, each pallet 13 capable of holding multiple workpieces 12. By mounting the handling mechanism 3 on the changing mechanism 6 and the conveying mechanism 7, a material handling space is easily formed between the changing mechanism 6 and the handling mechanism 3, and a material handling space is easily formed between the conveying mechanism 7 and the handling mechanism 3. This allows the handling device to separate the material handling and material handling operations, avoiding interference between the two operations and improving handling efficiency.

[0066] See Figure 1 The first direction can be Figure 1 The vertical direction in the middle, the second direction can be Figure 1 In the transverse direction, when the changing mechanism 6 and the conveying mechanism 7 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, the fourth driving member 306 can drive the second moving seat 303 to move along the second direction on the third moving seat 305. Thus, when the first moving seat 302 is above the changing mechanism 6, the third driving member 304 first drives the first moving seat 302 to approach the changing mechanism 6 so that the multiple suction cups on the picking component 203 can simultaneously pick up the multiple workpieces 12 placed on the carrier. Then, the third driving member 304 drives the first moving seat 302 away from the changing mechanism 6 to realize the picking operation of the conveying mechanism 3. Then, the fourth driving member 306 drives the second moving seat 303 to move along the second direction on the third moving seat 305 so that the picking component 203 can be located above the conveying mechanism 7. Then, the third driving member 304 drives the first moving seat 302 to approach the conveying mechanism 7 so that the multiple workpieces 12 on the picking component 203 can be placed on the tray 13 of the conveying mechanism 7 to realize the unloading operation of the conveying mechanism 3. By combining the changing mechanism 6 and the conveying mechanism 7, the material handling process of the material handling device is optimized, interference between different operations is avoided, and the handling efficiency is improved.

[0067] In some embodiments, when the changing mechanism 6 and the conveying mechanism 7 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, the flipping mechanism 2 can be arranged on one side of the changing mechanism 6 along the first direction. After the workpiece 12 in a pallet 13 of one type is transported, the third moving seat 305 can be driven to move along the first direction on the mounting frame 301 by the fifth driving member 307 so that the picking component 203 can be located above the flipping mechanism 2. Then, the rotating seat 201 can be driven to rotate by the first driving member 202 to switch to another picking component 203, thus meeting the transport requirements of the transport device for workpieces 12 on pallets 13 of different types.

[0068] In one embodiment, the changing mechanism 6 includes a support base 601 and a flipping assembly 602. The flipping assembly 602 includes a mounting bracket 6021 and a sixth driving member 6022. The mounting bracket 6021 is connected to the rotating end of the sixth driving member 6022. The mounting bracket 6021 has a plurality of carrier mechanisms 8, which are spaced apart and arranged around the outer periphery of the mounting bracket 6021. The sixth driving member 6022 is mounted on the support base 601 and drives the mounting bracket 6021 to rotate.

[0069] In the above embodiments, the support base 601 serves as the support structure for the changing mechanism 6, providing a platform for the installation and fixation of the flipping component 602, so that the entire mechanism maintains a relatively fixed position during operation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the changing mechanism 6.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the outer periphery of the mounting bracket 6021 has multiple sides, each side can be provided with an installation station, each installation station can correspond to a carrier mechanism 8, and each carrier mechanism 8 can correspond to a type of pallet 13. Thus, when the handling device handles the workpiece 12, the carrier mechanism 8 on the changing mechanism 6 can serve as a carrying structure for the workpiece 12, so as to realize the handling of multiple workpieces 12 from one type of pallet 13 to another type of pallet 13. After the workpiece 12 in one type of pallet 13 has been handled, the mounting bracket 6021 can be rotated by the sixth driving member 6022 to switch to another carrier mechanism 8, so that the carrier mechanism 8 can carry the workpiece 12 in another type of pallet 13, which meets the handling device's handling needs for workpieces 12 on multiple different types of pallets 13 and improves the handling efficiency. Moreover, the way the sixth driving member 6022 drives the mounting bracket 6021 to rotate to switch the carrier mechanism 8 makes the overall structure of the changing mechanism 6 simple, compact, and space-saving, and can ensure the consistency of the movement of the carrier mechanism 8 and the pallet 13, thus improving the quality and stability of handling.

[0071] See Figure 7The mounting bracket 6021 is equipped with a first carrier assembly 81, a second carrier assembly 82, a third carrier assembly 83, and a fourth carrier assembly 84, each corresponding to a different type of pallet 13. A sixth drive component 6022, which can be a motor mechanism or a cylinder mechanism, is mounted on the support base 601 and connected to the tilting assembly 602, enabling it to stably transmit its generated power to the tilting assembly 602. The movement of the sixth drive component 6022 precisely controls the switching between the first carrier assembly 81, the second carrier assembly 82, the third carrier assembly 83, and the fourth carrier assembly 84, meeting the handling needs of workpieces 12 in different pallets 13 and improving handling efficiency.

[0072] In one embodiment, the changing mechanism 6 further includes a translation component 603, which includes a fixed base 6031, a guide member 6032, a transmission member 6033, and a seventh drive member 6034. The guide member 6032, the transmission member 6033, and the seventh drive member 6034 are all disposed on the fixed base 6031. The guide member 6032 is slidably engaged with the support base 601. The connecting end of the transmission member 6033 is connected to the support base 601, and the transmission end of the transmission member 6033 is connected to the seventh drive member 6034.

[0073] In the above embodiments, the fixed base 6031 serves as the mounting and support structure for the entire changing mechanism 6, providing mounting positions and a fixed foundation for components such as the support base 601, guide member 6032, transmission member 6033, and seventh drive member 6034. The second direction can be... Figure 8 In the lateral direction, the fixed base 6031 can form the loading station and unloading station of the changing mechanism 6 at both ends along the second direction. The support base 601 can move between the loading station and the unloading station along the second direction to facilitate the handling of multiple workpieces 12.

[0074] See Figure 8 The fixed base 6031 has a guide member 6032. The support base 601 includes a mounting plate 6011, a third bracket 6012 and a fourth bracket 6013. The mounting plate 6011 has a plurality of sliders 6014 on the side away from the third bracket 6012 and the fourth bracket 6013. The sliders 6014 can slide and cooperate with the guide member 6032 to realize the movement of the support base 601 between the loading station and the unloading station.

[0075] In the above embodiments, the guide member 6032 can be a linear guide or a slide rail, etc. For example, the guide member 6032 can be the upper edge of the fixed base 6031. Figure 3A horizontally extending linear guide rail has multiple sliders 6014 slidingly engaged with it. The guide member 6032 can also consist of two spaced-apart linear guide rails, with adjacent sliders 6014 slidingly engaged with their respective rails. The guide member 6032 provides a precise sliding guide path for the support base 601 and also limits the movement trajectory of the support base 601 on the fixed base 6031. This ensures that the support base 601 can only slide along the direction set by the guide member 6032, preventing deviation or wobbling during movement and improving the stability and reliability of the entire changing mechanism 6 during operation.

[0076] In the above embodiments, the seventh driving member 6034 can be a motor or a cylinder to generate the original power, while the transmission member 6033 can be a belt or a chain to connect the connecting end of the transmission member 6033 to the support base 601. After the transmission end of the transmission member 6033 is connected to the seventh driving member 6034, it is convenient to convert and transmit the power generated by the seventh driving member 6034, so as to drive the support base 601 to move left and right relative to the fixed base 6031 in the first direction.

[0077] In one embodiment, the conveying device further includes a detection mechanism 9, an eighth drive member 10, and a ninth drive member 11. The detection mechanism 9 includes a fourth movable seat 901 and a detection camera 902. The fourth movable seat 901 and the eighth drive member 10 are disposed on a mounting frame 301. The eighth drive member 10 drives the fourth movable seat 901 to move on the mounting frame 301. The detection camera 902 and the ninth drive member 11 are disposed on the fourth movable seat 901. The ninth drive member 11 drives the detection camera 902 to move closer to or away from the changing mechanism 6, or the ninth drive member 11 drives the detection camera 902 to move closer to or away from the conveying mechanism 7.

[0078] In the above embodiments, see Figure 6The detection mechanism 9 is used to collect the position information of the pallet 13, providing a positioning basis for the handling mechanism 3. The detection mechanism 9 includes a fourth movable seat 901 and a detection camera 902. Both the fourth movable seat 901 and the eighth drive unit 10 can be mounted on the mounting bracket 301. The eighth drive unit 10 includes a drive unit 1001 and a transmission unit 1002. The drive unit 1001 can be a motor or a cylinder, and it is connected to the transmission unit 1002. The transmission unit 1002 can be a synchronous belt and is connected to the fourth movable seat 901 so that the drive unit 1001 drives the transmission unit 1002 to move the fourth movable seat 901. The movable seat 901 moves on the mounting frame 301 to enable the detection camera 902 to collect position information of the tray 13 at different positions. Both the detection camera 902 and the ninth drive unit 11 can be set on the fourth movable seat 901. The ninth drive unit 11 can be a motor structure or a cylinder structure, etc., so as to drive the detection camera 902 to collect the position information of the tray 13 on the changing mechanism 6 and the conveying mechanism 7, so as to avoid the failure to pick up or misplace the workpiece 12 due to the position deviation of the tray 13, and improve the reliability and accuracy of the workpiece 12 transfer.

[0079] In one embodiment, both the changing mechanism 6 and the conveying mechanism 7 are provided in at least two sets, with each set of changing mechanism 6 and each set of conveying mechanism 7 arranged opposite to each other.

[0080] In the above embodiments, the first direction can be Figure 1 The vertical direction in the middle, the second direction can be Figure 1 In the horizontal direction, multiple sets of changing mechanisms 6 and multiple sets of conveying mechanisms 7 can be arranged at intervals along the first direction, and each set of changing mechanisms 6 and each set of conveying mechanisms 7 can be arranged opposite each other along the second direction. Multiple sets of changing mechanisms 6 and multiple sets of conveying mechanisms 7 can be set according to the actual needs of the handling device to meet various transfer needs of the handling device and improve the applicability of the handling device.

[0081] In some embodiments, when the conveying device needs to continuously unload materials, the conveying device can be equipped with two sets of changing mechanisms 6, so that after the workpiece 12 in one set of changing mechanisms 6 is transferred, it can be directly switched to another set of changing mechanisms 6 to continue the operation without waiting for replenishment, which effectively realizes the continuous unloading of workpiece 12 and improves the efficiency of conveying.

[0082] In some embodiments, when the handling device needs to have a high degree of automation, the handling device may be equipped with two sets of conveying mechanisms 7, such that one set of conveying mechanisms 7 is used to convey empty pallets 13, while the other set of conveying mechanisms 7 is used to convey pallets 13 loaded with workpieces 12.

[0083] In the above embodiments, the operation process of the conveying device can be as follows: A set of conveyor lines transports empty pallets 13 to the loading station. The detection camera 902 moves to the corresponding position to collect the position information of the pallets 13 at the loading station and feeds it back to the control system. The control system controls the first driving component 202 to drive the rotating seat 201 to rotate, and switches the matching picking component 203 to the docking station; The control system controls the first moving seat 302, the second moving seat 303 and the third moving seat 305 of the transport mechanism 3 to work together, so that the quick-change main plate 30211 of the moving end 3021 docks with the quick-change tool plate 2030 of the pickup component 203, thereby realizing the connection between the transport mechanism 3 and the pickup component 203. The control system controls the handling mechanism 3 to move the picking component 203 to the loading station, so that the picking component 203 picks up the empty pallet 13 and transfers it to the unloading station of another conveyor line; The detection camera 902 moves to the corresponding position to collect the position information of the pallet 13 at the unloading station and feeds it back to the control system. The control system controls the conveying mechanism 3 to move the picking component 203 to the picking station of the changing mechanism 6, so that the suction cup of the picking component 203 can pick up the workpiece 12 and transfer it to the tray 13 of the unloading station. Once the pallet 13 at the unloading station is full of workpieces 12, the conveyor line will output the pallet 13.

[0084] In some embodiments, when the handling device needs to continuously feed materials and requires a high degree of automation, the handling device can simultaneously be equipped with two sets of changing mechanisms 6 and two sets of conveying mechanisms 7, and the two sets of changing mechanisms 6 and two sets of conveying mechanisms 7 are arranged opposite to each other.
