Material handling devices typically use a rotary mechanism to drive the material handling head to rotate, so as to realize material handling operations in different positions; at the same time, a lifting mechanism is used to drive the material handling head to rise and fall, so as to meet the material handling needs at different heights.

[0003] In related technologies, the material handling device also drives the rotating mechanism to rise and fall together when the material handling head is raised and lowered. This forces the lifting mechanism to bear the weight of the rotating mechanism during operation, increasing the difficulty of the lifting mechanism's operation and reducing its stability and accuracy. Furthermore, the cables connected to the rotating mechanism are prone to tangling during the raising and lowering process, which can even lead to cable damage in severe cases. This not only affects the normal operation of the material handling device and increases equipment maintenance costs, but also further increases the complexity of the material handling device's operation.

[0025] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0026] In related technologies, the material handling device also drives the rotating mechanism to rise and fall together when the material handling head is raised and lowered. This forces the lifting mechanism to bear the weight of the rotating mechanism during operation, increasing the difficulty of the lifting mechanism's operation and reducing its stability and accuracy. Moreover, the cables on the rotating mechanism are prone to tangling during the raising and lowering process, which not only affects the normal operation of the material handling device but also increases the complexity of its operation.

[0027] The rotating component of the material handling device provided in this application embodiment is connected to the connecting section via a rotating lifting component. The rotating lifting component prevents the rotating component from rising and falling, so that the lifting component does not need to bear the weight of the rotating component during operation, reducing the load and operational difficulty of the lifting component, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the lifting component's operation. In addition, since the rotating component does not rise and fall with the material handling component, the cables connected to the rotating component do not have the problem of tangling during rising and falling, ensuring the normal operation of the material handling device and simplifying the material handling operation of the material handling device.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a material handling device, which includes: Casing 1; Material handling component 2 has a connecting section 21 and a material handling section 22. The connecting section 21 is disposed inside the housing 1, and the material handling section 22 is located outside the housing 1 and is used to handle materials. The rotating component 3 and the lifting component 4 are both located inside the housing 1. The rotating component 3 is connected to the connecting section 21 via the rotating lifting component 5 and can drive the material picking component 2 to rotate around the material picking direction. The lifting component 4 is connected to the connecting section 21 and is used to drive the material picking component 2 to rise and fall along the material picking direction.

[0029] In the above embodiments, the housing 1 serves as the support and housing frame for the entire material handling device, providing installation space for the material handling component 2, the rotating component 3, and the lifting component 4, enabling the components to be integrated in an orderly manner and ensuring the integrity of the overall structure of the material handling device.

[0030] In one embodiment, the entire housing 1 can be integrally molded to ensure the machining accuracy of the housing 1; see [link to related document]. Figure 3 The side of the housing 1 can be connected to an external device through a threaded and locating pin structure, so as to achieve accurate positioning of the housing 1 and quick disassembly and replacement of the material handling device, and ensure the stability of the material handling device.

[0031] See Figure 1 The material picking component 2, the rotating component 3, and the lifting component 4 can be arranged near the sides inside the housing 1. For example, the material picking component 2 can be placed near the bottom edge of the housing 1, the rotating component 3 can be placed near the right side of the housing 1, and the lifting component 4 can be placed near the left side of the housing 1. This not only enables quick replacement and convenient maintenance of the material picking component 2, the rotating component 3, and the lifting component 4, but also ensures the precise installation of the material picking component 2, the rotating component 3, and the lifting component 4.

[0032] In addition, the power interface, network port, debugging port and suction head interface on the housing 1 all adopt a standardized interface structure, which can realize the plug-and-play of the material handling device; for example, the power interface, network port, debugging port and suction head interface with standard interface are set on the top edge of the housing 1 to improve the docking efficiency of the material handling device, and the quick change of the suction head makes the material handling device compatible with the handling of different materials.

[0033] See Figure 1 The material handling component 2 includes an integrally connected connecting section 21 and a material handling section 22. The connecting section 21 is located inside the housing 1 and can realize the linkage between the material handling component 2, the rotating component 3, and the lifting component 4. The material handling section 22 is located outside the housing 1 and is used to pick up materials. That is, the material handling operation can be completed by the rotation and lifting action of the material handling section 22, so that the material handling component 2 can not only realize the material handling function, but also facilitate the cooperation with the rotating component 3 and the lifting component 4 inside the device.

[0034] In some embodiments, the material handling section 22 is located outside the housing 1 and includes a suction nozzle connection end or a clamp connection end. When the material handling section 22 includes a suction nozzle connection end, the suction nozzle connection end can be connected to a suction nozzle, and the material can be directly sucked up through the suction nozzle, thereby improving the efficiency of material handling. When the material handling section 22 includes a clamp connection end, the clamp connection end can be connected to a clamp, and the clamp can directly clamp up the material, thereby ensuring the stability of material handling.

[0035] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the rotating component 3 and the lifting component 4 are integrated inside the housing 1. The rotating lifting component 5 has a rotating state and / or a lifting state. In this embodiment, the rotating component 3 and the connecting section 21 are connected by the rotating lifting component 5, so that the rotating component 3 can drive the material picking component 2 to rotate, realize material picking operations in different directions, meet the needs of multi-angle material acquisition in the production process, improve the flexibility and comprehensiveness of material picking, and expand the application range of the material picking device; while the lifting of the material picking component 2 is balanced by the rotating lifting component 5, avoiding the lifting action from being transmitted to the rotating component 3, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the operation of the lifting component 4.

[0036] Meanwhile, the lifting component 4 is used to drive the material picking component 2 to move up and down along the material picking direction, where the material picking direction W can be... Figure 1 In the vertical direction; the lifting component 4 controls the lifting of the material picking component 2, enabling the material picking component 2 to reach different heights in the vertical direction to pick up materials, meeting the material picking needs at different heights. Moreover, the lifting component 4 and the rotating component 3 operate independently of each other, that is, the material picking component 2 can not rotate when lifting, or it can not lift when rotating, or it can lift when rotating. The lifting component 4 and the rotating component 3 are combined to realize the precise picking of materials in three-dimensional space by the material picking device.

[0037] It is worth noting that during the actual material handling process of the material handling device, the material handling direction W is not always vertical. It can also handle material in a direction that is inclined relative to the vertical direction to ensure the material handling flexibility of the material handling device.

[0038] The material handling device provided in this embodiment includes a housing 1, a material handling component 2, a rotating component 3, and a lifting component 4. The connecting section 21 of the material handling component 2 is located inside the housing 1, while the material handling section 22 is located outside the housing 1 and used to handle materials. The rotating component 3 is connected to the connecting section 21 via a rotating lifting member 5. The rotating lifting member 5 prevents the rotating component 3 from lifting, thus eliminating the need for the lifting component 4 to bear the weight of the rotating component 3 during operation. This reduces the load and operational difficulty of the lifting component 4, ensuring its stability and accuracy. Furthermore, since the rotating component 3 does not lift or lower with the material handling component 2, the cable connected to the rotating component 3 is not entangled during lifting, ensuring the normal operation of the material handling device and simplifying its material handling operation.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The rotating lifting component 5 includes a ball nut 51 and a splined shaft 52, with the ball nut 51 and the splined shaft 52 in a splined fit. The ball nut 51 is connected to the rotating assembly 3, and the spline shaft 52 is connected to the material handling assembly 2.

[0040] In the above embodiments, the ball nut 51 and the spline shaft 52 are splined together to form a ball spline shaft, which improves the centering accuracy and guiding accuracy between the ball nut 51 and the spline shaft 52, ensures good coaxiality and stability between the ball nut 51 and the spline shaft 52 when transmitting torque and moving, reduces vibration and deviation during movement, and makes the rotation and lifting actions more stable and precise, thereby improving the overall reliability of the material handling device.

[0041] When the rotating component 3 drives the picking component 2 to rotate around the picking direction, the rotational power generated by the rotating component 3 is transmitted to the ball nut 51, which enables the ball nut 51 to drive the spline shaft 52 to rotate, thus realizing the power transmission between the rotating component 3 and the rotating lifting component 5. The spline shaft 52 is directly connected to the picking component 2, or the spline shaft 52 is connected to the picking component 2 through a coupling, so as to transmit the rotational power transmitted by the ball nut 51 to the picking component 2, ensuring the stability of the rotation of the picking component 2 and facilitating the picking component 2 to pick up materials in different positions.

[0042] In other embodiments, the rotary lifting component 5 can also be a combination of a ball screw and a nut, which can also achieve the dual action of rotation and axial movement, and the rotation and axial movement do not affect each other, ensuring the flexibility of the material picking component 2 in picking up materials in different positions and at different heights.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotating assembly 3 includes a rotating mounting base 31 and a rotating drive component 32. The rotating mounting base 31 is fixed inside the housing 1, and the rotating drive component 32 is mounted on the rotating mounting base 31.

[0044] In the above embodiments, the fixed configuration of the rotating mounting base 31 provides a stable and reliable mounting foundation for the rotating component 3, ensuring that the rotating component 3 will not rise or fall or sway due to vibration or external forces during operation. Simultaneously, the rotating drive component 32, supported and fixed by the rotating mounting base 31, maintains good coaxiality and stability during operation, reducing power loss and transmission errors caused by its own vibration or unstable installation. This allows for more efficient and precise transmission of power to the rotating lifting component 5, thereby driving the material handling component 2 to achieve accurate rotational movement, thus realizing the stability and precision of the rotational movement of the material handling component 2.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotary drive component 32 is a rotary motor, and the rotary assembly 3 includes a timing belt component 33 and a transmission sleeve 34. The rotary motor is connected to the transmission sleeve 34 through the timing belt component 33, and the transmission sleeve 34 is fitted onto the ball nut 51.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the rotary motor is used as the rotary drive component 32, which can provide reliable and continuous power for the rotation of the material picking component 2. Furthermore, the rotation speed and direction of the material picking component 2 can be precisely adjusted by controlling the rotation speed and direction of the rotary motor according to the actual material picking needs, thereby meeting the flexible requirements for material picking in different positions during automated production and material handling.

[0047] This embodiment utilizes the transmission cooperation of a rotary motor, a synchronous belt component 33, and a transmission sleeve 34. The synchronous belt component 33 has the advantages of accurate transmission ratio, smooth transmission, and high transmission efficiency, ensuring that the power output from the rotary motor is accurately transmitted to the transmission sleeve 34, reducing power loss and fluctuations during transmission, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the rotation of the material handling assembly 2. Simultaneously, the synchronous belt component 33 has a buffering and shock-absorbing function, reducing the impact of vibrations generated during the operation of the rotary motor on the transmission sleeve 34, and extending the service life of the entire rotating assembly 3.

[0048] See Figure 1The transmission sleeve 34 is sleeved and connected to the ball nut 51, ensuring the stability and continuity of power transmission, while also facilitating installation and maintenance. The transmission sleeve 34 accurately transmits the power from the synchronous belt component 33 to the ball nut 51, enabling the ball nut 51 to rotate according to the set rotation direction and speed. Because the ball nut 51 is splinedly engaged with the splined shaft 52, the ball nut 51 and splined shaft 52 drive the material handling assembly 2 to rotate around the material handling direction, achieving material handling operations in different positions.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The synchronous belt component 33 includes a synchronous belt 331, a first pulley 332, and a second pulley 333. The rotating motor rotates, driving the first pulley 332 to rotate. The first pulley 332 drives the second pulley 333 to rotate via the synchronous belt 331. The second pulley 333 is coaxially fixed with the transmission sleeve 34, thereby driving the transmission sleeve 34 to rotate. The transmission sleeve 34 drives the ball nut 51 to rotate. Since the ball nut 51 is splined with the spline shaft 52, the spline shaft 52 is connected to the rotating shaft of the material handling component 2 via a coupling, ultimately driving the material handling component 2 to rotate.

[0050] In one embodiment, the transmission sleeve 34 and the ball nut 51 are radially fixed together by a pin to limit the circumferential deflection of the transmission sleeve 34 relative to the ball nut 51 and ensure the synchronicity of the rotation of the transmission sleeve 34 and the ball nut 51.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lifting assembly 4 includes a lifting mounting base 41, a lifting drive component 42, and a lifting connector 43. The lifting mounting base 41 is fixed inside the housing 1, and the lifting drive component 42 is installed on the lifting mounting base 41 and connected to the connecting section 21 through the lifting connector 43.

[0052] In the above embodiment, by fixing the lifting mounting base 41 inside the housing 1, the lifting drive component 42 will not shift or shake due to vibration or external force during operation, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the lifting action. Simultaneously, the lifting drive component 42 is connected to the connecting section 21 via the lifting connector 43, ensuring that the power output by the lifting drive component 42 is accurately transmitted to the connecting section 21 of the material handling component 2, thereby driving the material handling component 2 to rise and fall along the material handling direction. During actual lifting operation, the lifting height and speed of the material handling component 2 can be precisely controlled according to the material handling requirements, meeting the requirements for material handling at different heights.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The lifting drive component 42 is a lifting cylinder 421. The lifting cylinder 421 is connected to the lifting connector 43 through a floating component 44. The lifting connector 43 is sleeved on the connecting section 21.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the lifting cylinder 421 is controlled by a solenoid valve. The lifting cylinder 421 has a fast response speed and can quickly drive the material handling component 2 to move up and down linearly, improving material handling efficiency and meeting the requirements of fast cycle time in automated production. The floating component 44 is connected between the lifting cylinder 421 and the lifting connecting component 43, and can compensate for installation errors and movement deviations.

[0055] During the actual installation of the material handling device of this application, due to factors such as machining accuracy and assembly accuracy, there may be a certain positional deviation between the lifting cylinder 421 and the lifting connecting member 43. The floating member 44 can eliminate the influence of positional deviation on power transmission and motion stability, ensuring that the power of the lifting cylinder 421 can be accurately and smoothly transmitted to the lifting connecting member 43. In addition, during the operation of the material handling device, when encountering external impacts or vibrations, the floating member 44 can absorb and buffer the impact energy, reducing damage to the lifting cylinder 421 and the lifting connecting member 43, and improving the reliability and stability of the entire lifting assembly 4.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lifting drive component 42 is a lifting motor 422, which is connected to the lifting connector 43 via a ball screw 45. The lifting connector 43 is sleeved on the connecting section 21.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the lifting motor 422 is connected to the ball screw 45 via a coupling. Through the precise drive of the lifting motor 422 and the high-precision transmission of the ball screw 45, the lifting position of the lifting connector 43 can be precisely controlled, enabling the material handling assembly 2 to accurately reach the designated height for material handling, meeting the requirements of high-precision production. Furthermore, the ball screw 45 has a small backlash, allowing the lifting connector 43 to respond quickly when the lifting motor 422 changes its rotation direction, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the material handling assembly 2's movements during the lifting process and improving the dynamic performance of the entire material handling device.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The material handling device also includes an elastic element 6, one end of which is connected to the housing 1, and the other end of which is hung on the lifting connector 43.

[0059] See Figure 1The lifting connector 43 is connected to the material-picking component 2. During the lifting process, the lifting component 4 needs to overcome the weight of the material-picking component 2 to achieve the rising and falling movements. In this embodiment, the elastic element 6, after being attached to the lifting connector 43, can generate an elastic pulling force opposite to the direction of gravity of the material-picking component 2 and the lifting connector 43. This elastic pulling force can partially or completely balance the weight of the material-picking component 2 and the lifting connector 43, reducing the load on the lifting component 4. For example, when the material-picking component 2 is heavy, the elastic force of the elastic element 6 can reduce the power output required by the lifting drive component 42, allowing the lifting drive component 42 to drive the material-picking component 2 to rise and fall with less power, reducing energy consumption, and also reducing wear on the lifting drive component 42 caused by excessive load, extending its service life.

[0060] Furthermore, because the elastic element 6 balances at least part of the weight of the material handling assembly 2 and the lifting connector 43, the resistance experienced by the lifting assembly 4 during operation is reduced. During the lifting start-up and stopping phases, the lower resistance allows the lifting assembly 4 to reach the required operating speed more quickly and decelerate more rapidly upon stopping, reducing acceleration and deceleration time and thus achieving high-speed operation. Simultaneously, the elasticity of the elastic element 6 also provides buffering and shock absorption. During high-speed operation, when encountering minor impacts or vibrations, the elastic element 6 can absorb energy, preventing the impact and vibration from being directly transmitted to the lifting assembly 4 and the material handling assembly 2, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire device.

[0061] In some embodiments, the material handling section 22 includes a clamp connection end, and the material handling component 2 includes a detection line 23 and a conductive slip ring 24, wherein the detection line 23 is connected to the clamp connection end through the conductive slip ring 24.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the chuck connecting end is used to connect the chuck, which can securely install the chuck on the material handling section 22, allowing the chuck to move together with the material handling section 22 to complete the gripping and handling of materials. Moreover, the chuck interface on the chuck connecting end can be a standard interface, which facilitates the replacement of different types of chucks to meet the material handling needs of materials with different shapes, sizes and materials.

[0063] The detection line 23 in this embodiment can be used to transmit detection signals related to the material handling process, such as whether the chuck successfully grips the material, whether the material falls off during the handling process, and whether the clamping force of the chuck is appropriate, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the material handling process.

[0064] During the movement of the material handling assembly 2, such as when the material handling section 22 rotates, the detection line 23 will rotate along with it, which can easily cause winding problems, leading to damage to the detection line or interruption of signal transmission. The conductive slip ring 24 provided in this embodiment can transmit electrical signals between two relatively rotating components, so that the detection line 23 can maintain continuous signal transmission when the material handling section 22 rotates, ensuring the normal operation of the detection function.

[0065] In other embodiments, the material handling section 22 includes a suction nozzle connection end for connecting a suction nozzle. The air path assembly of the material handling device connects a negative pressure air path to the suction nozzle, enabling the material handling device to utilize the negative pressure generated by the suction nozzle to adsorb materials. This is particularly useful for relatively flat, lightweight electronic components and thin sheet materials, expanding the applicability of the material handling device. Furthermore, the suction nozzle interface on the suction nozzle connection end can be a standard interface, allowing for easy disassembly and installation of the suction nozzle when different specifications and models need to be replaced to adapt to different materials. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the risk of material handling failure due to improper nozzle installation.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The material handling device also includes a control component 7, which is located inside the housing 1 and electrically connected to the rotating component 3 and the lifting component 4.

[0067] In the above embodiments, the control component 7 is built into the housing 1 and is integrally encapsulated with the rotating component 3 and the lifting component 4 within the housing 1, improving the integration and structural compactness of the material handling device. In this application embodiment, the control component 7 can precisely plan and control each action of the material handling device, realizing complex material handling processes and improving the efficiency and accuracy of material handling.

[0068] In some embodiments, the control component 7 is electrically connected to the rotating component 3, enabling the control component 7 to precisely control parameters such as the start, stop, rotation direction, and rotation speed of the rotating component 3. During the material handling process, the control component 7 can adjust the movement of the rotating component 3 in real time according to the material's position and handling requirements, ensuring that the material handling section 22 accurately reaches the target position and achieves precise material handling. For example, when it is necessary to handle materials from different angles, the control component 7 can control the rotating component 3 to rotate the material handling section 22 to a suitable angle, improving the flexibility and success rate of material handling.

[0069] In some embodiments, the control component 7 is electrically connected to the lifting component 4, enabling the control component 7 to precisely control the movement of the lifting component 4. The control component 7 can control the lifting component 4 to raise or lower the material-retrieving section 22 to a specified height based on the material's height information, ensuring smooth material retrieval. Simultaneously, during the material retrieval process, the control component 7 can also adjust the movement speed of the lifting component 4 according to actual conditions, such as reducing the speed when approaching the material to avoid impact; and rapidly rising after material retrieval to improve production efficiency.
