Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of half-flower basket rotation, specifically a half-flower basket rotation mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the flower basket and its stem are locked and placed on a workbench. A traditional flower basket rotation mechanism can unlock and separate the stem and basket, allowing them to be placed on different tracks for smooth entry into the next production process. Conventional rotation mechanisms use a motor-driven drive wheel structure, continuously transmitting power via a belt to drive the driven wheel, thus rotating the flower basket stem to complete the unlocking action, which basically meets the basic needs of flower basket disassembly. However, traditional structures still have many shortcomings in practical production applications: the tensioning structure is internally arranged, making equipment installation and debugging extremely inconvenient; the rotating components are mostly fixed structures, unable to open and close flexibly, limiting the gripper's ability to pick up and place the flower basket, resulting in low equipment space utilization; traditional belt-driven structures are cumbersome to disassemble and assemble, and maintenance is time-consuming and labor-intensive; the equipment side plates are mostly one-piece structures, making maintenance and disassembly difficult, and parts machining errors are prone to accumulation; the equipment support and sliding structures have poor stability, easily wobbling and shifting during operation, and the gripper positioning accuracy is poor, posing a risk of silicon wafers flying out. Therefore, a half-wafer flower basket rotation mechanism is proposed. Summary of the Invention

Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0004] Given the following technical problems in the existing technology: the tensioning structure of traditional mechanisms is built-in, making equipment installation and debugging extremely inconvenient; the rotating components are mostly fixed structures, which cannot be opened and closed flexibly, restricting the picking and placing of baskets by the grippers and resulting in low space utilization of the equipment; the traditional belt drive structure is cumbersome to disassemble and assemble, and maintenance is time-consuming and labor-intensive; the equipment side plates are mostly integrated structures, making maintenance and disassembly difficult, and the machining errors of parts are easy to accumulate; the stability of the equipment support and sliding structure is poor, making it easy to shake and deviate during operation, resulting in poor positioning accuracy of the grippers and the risk of silicon wafers flying out.

In addition, actual fabrication should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown in Embodiment 1: The present invention proposes a half-flower basket rotating mechanism, including a frame assembly 100. The frame assembly 100 includes a plate 101, a frame platform 102, and base feet 103. The frame platform 102 is provided on the lower side of the plate 101. Four base feet 103 are evenly provided at the bottom end of the frame platform 102. Two rotating components are provided on the upper side of the plate 101. The rotating components include two rotating drive units 200. Four rotating drive units 200 are evenly provided on the upper side of the plate 101. The two rotating drive units 200 of each set of rotating components correspond to each other. The upper side of the plate 101 is movably connected to the rotating drive units 200. The approach component is connected to the rotating drive units 200 one by one. The rack assembly 100 also includes a proximity component for controlling the rotary drive unit 200 to approach the basket 400.

[0026] The approach component includes a track component 105 and a drive cylinder 106. The track component 105 and the drive cylinder 106 are provided on the upper side of the plate 101. The bottom of the rotary drive unit 200 is slidably connected to the track component 105, and the movable end of the drive cylinder 106 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotary drive unit 200.

[0027] The rotary drive unit 200 includes a power box 201, a rotary seat 203, and a drive mechanism. Two rotary seats 203 are symmetrically arranged on the top of one side of the power box 201. The rotary seats 203 are rotatably connected to the power box 201. The power box 201 has a working cavity inside. Each working cavity has a drive mechanism on its inner side. The drive mechanism is correspondingly connected to the rotary seat 203.

[0028] The track component 105 includes two slide rails, and the power box 201 is slidably connected to the two slide rails of the track component 105.

[0029] The transfer assembly 300 includes a structural plate 301, a second drive cylinder 303, a clamping plate 304, and a second track component 305. The two ends of the structural plate 301 are respectively provided with a second drive cylinder 303 and a second track component 305. The clamping plate 304 is L-shaped and is slidably connected to the second track component 305. The movable end of the second drive cylinder 303 is fixedly connected to the top end of the clamping plate 304. The transfer assembly 300 clamps the flower basket 400.

[0030] Track component 2 305 also includes two slide rails, which are slidably connected to the clamping plate 304.

[0031] A sealing cover plate 210 is installed on one side of the power box 201. The sealing cover plate 210 covers one side of the working chamber, making the working chamber sealed, ensuring the stability of the mechanism, and making it easier for later maintenance and disassembly.

[0032] The transfer assembly 300 also includes a connecting column 302, which is located in the middle of the structural plate 301. The top of the connecting column 302 is provided with a connecting flange to facilitate assembly with the robotic arm, thereby enabling it to clamp and transport the flower basket 400.

[0033] The flower basket 400 includes a flower basket body 401, flower basket rods 402, and a rotating seat 403. Two flower basket rods 402 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the flower basket body 401. The flower basket rods 402 are rotatably connected to the flower basket body 401. A rotating seat 403 is provided at one end of the flower basket rods 402. The rotating seat 403 is located on the outside of the flower basket body 401.

[0034] The drive mechanism includes a transmission belt 208, a driven pulley 207, a driving pulley 204, and a servo motor 202. Two driven pulleys 207 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the working chamber of the power box 201. The driven pulleys 207 are rotatably connected to the power box 201. The driving pulley 204 is rotatably connected to the middle of the power box 201. The driven pulleys 207 are correspondingly connected to the rotating seat 203. The driven pulleys 207 can drive the rotating seat 203 to rotate. The servo motor 202 is arranged on the outside of the power box 201. The driving pulley 204 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the servo motor 202. The transmission belt 208 is wound around the outside of the driven pulleys 207 and the driving pulley 204. The inner side of the transmission belt 208 meshes with the connecting teeth on the outside of the driven pulleys 207 and the driving pulley 204.

[0035] The drive mechanism also includes a waist-shaped hole 211, a movable auxiliary wheel 205, a positioning auxiliary wheel 206 and an adjusting screw 209. The power box 201 has a waist-shaped hole 211. The central shaft of the positioning auxiliary wheel 206 passes through the waist-shaped hole 211 and is rotatably connected to the movable seat. The movable seat is located inside the waist-shaped hole 211 and is slidably connected to the waist-shaped hole 211. One end of the adjusting screw 209 is threaded to the top of the power box 201 on one side, and the other end of the adjusting screw 209 is rotatably connected to the movable seat. The position of the positioning auxiliary wheel 206 can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw 209. A movable auxiliary wheel 205 is also rotatably mounted on the power box 201. The movable auxiliary wheel 205 presses against one side of the transmission belt 208, while the outer circumference of the positioning auxiliary wheel 206 presses against the other side of the transmission belt 208. Therefore, the tension of the transmission belt 208 can be adjusted by using the movable auxiliary wheel 205 in conjunction with the positioning auxiliary wheel 206. Through the coordinated use of the movable auxiliary wheel 205, the positioning auxiliary wheel 206, and the adjusting screw 209, the external side tension adjustment function of the transmission belt 208 is realized, greatly facilitating the on-site installation and tension adjustment of the equipment.

[0036] Eight 104s are evenly arranged on the plate 101. Every four 104s form a group that can restrict the bottom of the flower basket 400 placed on the plate 101 and limit its horizontal movement.

[0037] The specific implementation method is as follows: After the flower basket 400 carrying half a battery completes the surface process of the host, the flower basket 400 is clamped and transported by the robotic arm and the simultaneous transfer component 300, and the flower basket 400 is placed on the flat plate 101 worktable of the frame component 100, and the whole machine is placed horizontally and stably by relying on the frame body 102 and the base 103.

[0038] Subsequently, the drive cylinder 106 works in conjunction with the track component 105 to drive the rotary drive unit 200 to slide closer to the flower basket 400, completing the alignment and clamping positioning of the flower basket 400, so that the rotary seat 203 on the flower basket 400 is connected to the rotary seat 203.

[0039] When the equipment is working, the servo motor 202 outputs power to drive the drive pulley 204 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven pulley 207 to rotate synchronously via the transmission belt 208, thereby driving the rotating seat 1 203 to rotate. The rotating seat 1 203 cooperates with the rotating seat 2 403 at the end of the basket rod 402 for transmission. Through the frictional force generated by direct contact, the rotating seat 402 rotates 90° relative to the basket body 401, completing the basket unlocking and separation operation.

[0040] Meanwhile, the transfer component 300 connects to the robotic arm via the top connecting column 302 of the structural plate 301, and the second drive cylinder 303, in conjunction with the second track component 305, drives the L-shaped clamping plate 304 to slide smoothly, thereby achieving precise clamping and transfer of the flower basket.

[0041] After separation, the unlocked flower basket body 401 and flower basket pole 402 are respectively grasped and placed onto different conveyor tracks, and then fed into the flower basket conveyor to complete the continuous process flow. In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a non-contact coupling transmission with a permanent magnet orthogonal magnetic wheel can be used to automatically limit the transmitted torque when the rotating seat 403 is stuck, avoiding hard damage to the flower basket pole 402, and further improving the stability and safety of the equipment operation.

[0042] Example 2: The rotating seat 203 and rotating seat 403 in Example 1 are replaced with an active orthogonal magnetic wheel and a driven orthogonal magnetic wheel made of permanent magnets, respectively. During operation, rotating seat 203 and rotating seat 403 are in a clearance fit and do not directly contact each other. Since the torque that can be transmitted between rotating seat 203 and rotating seat 403 through permanent magnet coupling is limited, it avoids forcibly driving rotating seat 403 to rotate when it is stuck, thus preventing damage to the basket handle 402. Simultaneously, this application achieves contactless magnetic field coupling transmission through the combined use of the active and driven orthogonal magnetic wheels made of permanent magnets. Utilizing the torque self-limiting characteristic, it achieves power unloading under stuck conditions, effectively avoiding damage to parts caused by rigid transmission, and improving the operational safety of the mechanism and the service life of components.

[0043] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those of ordinary skill in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine task in design, manufacturing, and production without requiring extensive experimentation.

[0044] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
