[0082] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0083] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present application provides a material taking component 100, which includes a transfer module 10, a material taking module 20 and a material removal module 30. The material taking component 100 is used to take out the hanging branch 600 clamping the workpiece 500 from the hanging frame 400, and then remove the workpiece 500 and load it to a preset position. Figure 2 and Figure 3 A positioning rod 401 is provided in the hanging frame 400, and a plurality of hanging branches 600 and the workpiece 500 clamped therein are sleeved on the positioning rod 401 and stacked, and the workpiece 500 may be a middle frame of a mobile phone.

[0084] See also Figure 1 The material picking module 20 includes a connecting member 21, a material picking member 22, two limiting members 23 and two elastic members 24. The connecting member 21 is connected to the transfer module 10. The material picking member 22 is slidably connected to the connecting member 21 and is used to remove the hanging branch 600 clamped with the workpiece 500. The two limiting members 23 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the material picking member 22 and are both connected to the connecting member 21. The two elastic members 24 are respectively connected to the material picking member 22 and the corresponding limiting members 23. The two elastic members 24 are used to make the material picking member 22 float in contact with the hanging frame 400. The transfer module 10 places the hanging branch 600 clamped with the workpiece 500 removed by the material picking member 22 at a preset position. The dismantling module 30 and the picking module 20 are arranged opposite to the transfer module 10, and the dismantling module 30 is used to remove the hanging branch 600 from the workpiece 500 placed at the preset position, and place the removed hanging branch 600 at the predetermined position under the drive of the transfer module 10. For example, the transfer module 10 can be a manipulator, and the elastic member 24 can be a spring.

[0085] In the above-mentioned material picking component 100, in the process of the transfer module 10 moving the workpiece 500 removed by the material picking component 22 out of the hanging frame 400, the material picking component 22 compresses the corresponding elastic component 24 to the corresponding limit component 23 according to the inclination direction of the positioning rod 401, so as to make the material picking component 22 and the hanging frame 400 flexibly contact each other, avoid the rigid contact between the material picking component 22 and the positioning rod 401 of the hanging frame 400, and cause the workpiece 500 to interfere with the hanging frame 400 and other components, thereby improving the quality of the workpiece 500; the hanging branch 600 clamped with the workpiece 500 removed by the material picking module 20 is placed at a preset position through the transfer module 10, and the hanging branch 600 is removed from the workpiece 500 placed at the preset position through the dismantling module 30, so as to realize the rapid completion of material picking, loading and dismantling operations, thereby improving the loading efficiency.

[0086] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the material picking member 22 includes a sliding portion 221, a material picking driving portion 222 and two material picking portions 223. The sliding portion 221 is disposed between the two limit members 23 and is slidably connected to the connecting member 21, and the two ends of the sliding portion 221 are respectively connected to the two elastic members 24. The material picking driving portion 222 is disposed on the side of the sliding portion 221 away from the connecting member 21. The two material picking portions 223 are arranged opposite to each other and are connected to the material picking driving portion 222, and the two material picking portions 223 are used to clamp the hanging branch 600 under the drive of the material picking driving portion 222. Exemplarily, the material picking driving portion 222 can be a cylinder.

[0087] In this way, the two material taking parts 223 are driven by the material taking driving part 222 to clamp the hanging branch 600, so that the transfer module 10 drives the hanging branch 600 clamped by the material taking part 223 to move out of the hanging frame 400, and no manual operation is required to move the hanging branch 600 out of the hanging frame 400, thereby improving the clamping efficiency. In addition, the sliding part 221 is slidably connected with the connecting member 21, so that the material taking member 22 can drive the sliding part 221 to move toward the corresponding limiting member 23 according to the tilt direction of the positioning rod 401, so that the sliding part 221 compresses the corresponding elastic member 24 to the corresponding limiting member 23, thereby avoiding interference between the hanging frame 400 removed by the material taking member 22 and the positioning rod 401.

[0088] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the material taking module 20 further includes a detection member 25, which is disposed on one side of the sliding portion 221 and is electrically connected to the material taking driving portion 222 and the transfer module 10, respectively, and the detection member 25 is used to detect the position of the hanging branch 600 in the hanging frame 400. Exemplarily, the detection member 25 can be a position sensor, a reflection sensor, etc.

[0089] In this way, the detection part 25 detects the position of the hanging branch 600 in the hanging frame 400 and forms detection information, so that the transfer module 10 can accurately move the material picking part 22 to the top of the hanging frame 400 based on the detection information, and the material picking drive part 222 can drive the two material picking parts 223 to stably clamp the hanging frame 400 based on the detection information, which is beneficial to improve the material picking stability of the material picking module 20.

[0090] See also Figure 1 , there are multiple groups of material taking modules 20, which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the connecting member 21 and are all connected to the transfer module 10, and the multiple groups of material taking modules 20 are used to simultaneously transfer multiple hanging branches 600 clamped with workpieces 500. Among them, the multiple groups of material taking modules 20 share the same connecting member 21. It can be understood that there are also multiple groups of material stripping modules 30, and the multiple groups of material stripping modules 30 are provided with a side of the transfer module 10 away from the material taking module 20 along the extension direction of the connecting member 21.

[0091] In this way, by providing a plurality of groups of material taking modules 20 and a plurality of groups of material stripping modules 30 , it is possible to simultaneously perform material taking operations and material stripping operations on a plurality of workpieces 500 , thereby improving the material taking efficiency and the material stripping efficiency.

[0092] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the hanging branch 600 includes two inner supporting parts 601, a connecting rod 602 and an elastic part 603. The two inner supporting parts 601 are arranged opposite to each other and are used to support the two opposite inner side walls of the workpiece 500. The connecting rod 602 is movably inserted into the two inner supporting parts 601 and the two ends of the connecting rod 602 are respectively abutted against the two inner supporting parts 601. The elastic part 603 is sleeved on the connecting rod 602 and elastically abuts against the two inner supporting parts 601. The material stripping module 30 includes a material stripping driving member 31, two material stripping parts 32 and a correction member 33. The material stripping driving member 31 is connected to the transfer module 10. The two material stripping parts 32 are arranged opposite to each other and connected to the material stripping driving member 31. The two material stripping parts 32 are used to clamp the two inner supporting parts 601 for relative movement under the drive of the material stripping driving member 31, so that the two inner supporting parts 601 compress the elastic part 603 and loosen the workpiece 500. The correction member 33 is disposed between the two stripping members 32 and connected to the side wall of one of the stripping members 32. The end of the correction member 33 away from the stripping driving member 31 is provided with a correction groove 331 adapted to the elastic part 603. The correction groove 331 is used to correct the elastic part 603 when the stripping member 32 clamps the inner support part 601. For example, the elastic part 603 can be a spring, and the stripping driving member 31 can be a cylinder.

[0093] In this way, the two stripping members 32 are driven by the stripping driving member 31 to clamp the two inner supporting parts 601, so that the two inner supporting parts 601 move relative to each other and compress the elastic part 603, and the two inner supporting parts 601 are separated from the two inner walls of the workpiece 500 to loosen the workpiece 500, replacing the manual operation to remove the hanging branch 600 from the workpiece 500, thereby improving the stripping efficiency. In addition, since the elastic part 603 in the hanging branch 600 is prone to distortion during long-term use, the elastic part 603 cannot be quickly and stably contracted or stretched. In the process of the stripping member 32 clamping the inner supporting part 601, the correction member 33 pushes the correction elastic part 603 along the movement direction of the stripping member 32 through the correction groove 331 adapted to the elastic part 603 to correct the distorted elastic part 603 to a stable vertical state, so that the two inner supporting parts 601 stably compress the elastic part 603 to quickly loosen the workpiece 500, thereby improving the stripping stability.

[0094] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application also provides a loading device 200, which includes a feeding component 40, a positioning component 50, the above-mentioned material picking component 100 and a loading component 60. The loading device 200 is used to load the workpiece 500 to the external processing equipment 300.

[0095] See also Figure 4 The feeding assembly 40 is used to carry the hanging frame 400 and provide the hanging branch 600 clamped with the workpiece 500. The positioning assembly 50 is arranged adjacent to the feeding assembly 40, and the positioning assembly 50 is used to position the workpiece 500. The picking assembly 100 is arranged adjacent to one side of the positioning assembly 50, and the picking assembly 100 is used to place the hanging branch 600 clamped with the workpiece 500 on the positioning assembly 50, and is used to remove the hanging branch 600 from the workpiece 500 placed on the positioning assembly 50. The loading assembly 60 is arranged between the positioning assembly 50 and the external processing equipment 300, and the loading assembly 60 is used to load the positioned workpiece 500 to the external processing equipment 300.

[0096] In the above-mentioned loading device 200, the hanging branch 600 with the workpiece 500 removed by the material taking module 20 is placed on the positioning component 50 through the transfer module 10, so that the positioning component 50 positions the workpiece 500 to a preset orientation, and the hanging branch 600 is removed from the workpiece 500 placed on the positioning component 50 through the disassembly module 30, so that the loading component 60 places the positioned workpiece 500 in the external processing equipment 300 according to the preset orientation for processing, thereby quickly completing the material taking and loading of the workpiece 500. Positioning and loading operations improve loading efficiency; in the process of the transfer module 10 moving the workpiece 500 removed by the material picking component 22 out of the hanging frame 400, the material picking component 22 compresses the corresponding elastic component 24 to the corresponding limit component 23 according to the inclination direction of the positioning rod 401, so as to make the material picking component 22 and the hanging frame 400 have flexible contact, avoid rigid contact between the material picking component 22 and the positioning rod 401 of the hanging frame 400, and cause interference between the workpiece 500 and the hanging frame 400 and other components, thereby improving the quality of the workpiece 500.

[0097] See also Figure 5 In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 50 includes a fixing member 51, a positioning member 52, a sensing member 53, and an adsorbing member 54. The fixing member 51 is adjacent to one side of the feeding assembly 40, the positioning member 52 is connected to the fixing member 51 and adapted to the workpiece 500, and the positioning member 52 is used to position the workpiece 500. The sensing member 53 is arranged on the positioning member 52 and is electrically connected to the transfer module 10, and the sensing member 53 is used to sense whether the workpiece 500 is placed on the positioning member 52. The adsorbing member 54 is arranged at intervals from the sensing member 53 on the positioning member 52 and is connected to an external air source, and the adsorbing member 54 is used to vacuum adsorb the workpiece 500 under the drive of the external air source. Exemplarily, the sensing member 53 can be a proximity sensor, and the adsorbing member 54 can be a vacuum suction cup. It can be understood that the number of the positioning assemblies 50 is multiple groups, and the multiple groups of positioning assemblies 50 are arranged at intervals and are all used to position the workpiece 500 to improve the positioning efficiency, wherein the multiple groups of positioning assemblies 50 share the same fixing member 51.

[0098] In this way, the sensing member 53 senses whether the workpiece 500 is placed on the positioning member 52. If the sensing member 53 senses that the workpiece 500 has been placed on the positioning member 52, the transfer module 10 drives the dismantling module 30 to move to the positioning assembly 50 to perform the dismantling operation based on the sensing information of the sensing member 53. If the sensing member 53 senses that the workpiece 500 is not placed on the positioning member 52, the transfer module 10 drives the material picking module 20 to repeat the material discharge operation based on the sensing information of the sensing member 53 until the workpiece 500 is placed on the positioning member 52, thereby avoiding the dismantling module 30 from performing the empty material operation in the positioning assembly 50, and improving the material picking stability and dismantling stability. In addition, the adsorption member 54 vacuum adsorbs the workpiece 500, and avoids the dismantling module 30 driving the workpiece 500 to move synchronously in the process of removing the hanging branch 600 from the workpiece 500, so that the workpiece 500 deviates from the preset direction, thereby improving the positioning stability of the positioning member 52.

[0099] Please continue reading Figure 5 In some embodiments, the feeding device 200 further includes a guide member 55, and the guide member 55 is spaced apart from the adsorption member 54 and arranged on the positioning member 52. Thus, by providing the guide member 55, the workpiece 500 can be stably placed on the positioning member 52 by the guide member 55, so that the positioning member 52 can stably position the workpiece 500 to a preset orientation, thereby improving the positioning stability of the positioning member 52.

[0100] See also Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the feeding device 200 further includes a receiving assembly 70 , which is disposed on one side of the feeding assembly 40 , and is used to collect the removed hanging branches 600 .

[0101] In this way, by setting up the above-mentioned material collecting component 70, the material collecting component 70 can collect the removed hanging branches 600 to the same position, avoiding the hanging branches 600 from being randomly stacked in other areas and interfering with the normal operation of the loading device 200, and at the same time facilitating the reuse of the removed hanging branches 600 to clamp and fix the workpiece 500.

[0102] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the material receiving assembly 70 includes a support member 71, a carrier member 72 and a collecting member 73. The support member 71 is arranged adjacent to the feeding assembly 40. The carrier member 72 is arranged obliquely on one side of the support member 71 and is connected to the support member 71. The collecting member 73 is movably placed on the carrier member 72 and is used to receive the removed hanging branch 600. Exemplarily, the collecting member 73 is a frame structure, and a positioning column 731 is arranged in the collecting member 73, and the positioning column 731 is used to pass through the hanging branch 600 received by the collecting member 73 to position the hanging branch 600, wherein the number of the positioning columns 731 can be two, three, four, etc., and a plurality of positioning columns 731 are arranged at intervals in the collecting member 73 to improve the collection efficiency of the collecting member 73.

[0103] In this way, by tilting the carrier 72 in the support 71, the collecting member 73 placed on the carrier 72 forms a preset angle with the horizontal direction. When the transfer module 10 places the hanging branch 600 removed by the dismantling module 30 in the collecting member 73, the hanging branch 600 can slide to the bottom of the collecting member 73 by its own gravity, thereby further improving the collection efficiency.

[0104] Please continue reading Figure 6 Specifically, the support member 71 is provided with adjustment slots 711 penetrating opposite sides of the support member 71, and the bearing member 72 includes a bearing portion 721 and a locking portion (not shown), one end of the bearing portion 721 is rotatably connected to the support member 71, and the locking portion passes through the other end of the bearing portion 721 and the adjustment slot 711 and abuts against a side of the support member 71 away from the bearing portion 721, so as to lock the bearing portion 721 to the support member 71. Exemplarily, the locking portion may be a screw.

[0105] In this way, according to different collection requirements, the bearing portion 721 can be adjusted to different inclination angles so that the locking portion passes through different positions of the bearing portion 721 and the adjustment slot 711 and abuts against the support member 71, thereby achieving the function of adjusting the inclination angle of the bearing portion 721 and the collector 73 carried by it. It can be understood that there are two support members 71 and bearing portions 721, the two support members 71 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two bearing portions 721 are respectively arranged on the inner side of the corresponding support member 71, and the two bearing portions 721 respectively carry different positions of the workpiece 500 to improve the bearing stability of the bearing portion 721.

[0106] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 40 includes a base 41, a feeding drive 42 and a feeding member 43. The base 41 is connected to the positioning assembly 50 and is provided with a receiving groove 411 that passes through the opposite sides of the base 41. The base 41 is used to carry the hanging frame 400. The feeding drive 42 is arranged below the base 41. The feeding member 43 is movably arranged in the receiving groove 411 and connected to the feeding drive 42. The feeding member 43 is used to push the hanging branch 600 upward under the drive of the feeding drive 42 to provide the hanging branch 600 clamped with the workpiece 500 to the material taking module 20. Exemplarily, the feeding drive 42 can be a servo slide.

[0107] Since multiple hanging branches 600 clamped with workpieces 500 are stacked and placed in the hanging frame 400, after the top hanging branches 600 are taken away, the feeding drive member 42 drives the feeding member 43 to lift the bottom hanging branches 600 and drive the other hanging branches 600 to rise, making it convenient for the material removal component 100 to remove the hanging branches 600 in the hanging frame 400.

[0108] See also Figure 4 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the loading assembly 60 includes a mobile module 61 and a loading module 62. The mobile module 61 is arranged between the positioning assembly 50 and the external processing equipment 300. The loading module 62 is connected to the mobile module 61, and the loading module 62 is used to adsorb the positioned workpiece 500, and load the workpiece 500 to the external processing equipment 300 under the drive of the mobile module 61. Exemplarily, the mobile module 61 can be a manipulator. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the number of the loading modules 62 is two groups, and the two groups of loading modules 62 are relatively arranged and are connected to the mobile module 61, so that the two groups of loading modules 62 continuously provide multiple workpieces 500 to the external processing equipment 300 to improve the loading efficiency of the loading assembly 60.

[0109] In this way, by driving the loading module 62 to move between the positioning assembly 50 and the external processing equipment 300 through the moving module 61, the workpiece 500 adsorbed by the loading module 62 can be quickly loaded onto the external processing equipment 300 without manual loading to the external processing equipment 300, thereby improving the loading efficiency.

[0110] See also Figure 8 In some embodiments, the feeding module 62 includes a mounting member 621, a first feeding member 622, a second feeding member 623 and a variable distance driving member 624. The mounting member 621 is connected to the moving module 61. The first feeding member 622 is fixedly connected to the mounting member 621 and removes the workpiece 500. The second feeding member 623 is spaced apart from the first feeding member 622 and is slidably connected to the mounting member 621, and the second feeding member 623 is used to remove the workpiece 500. The variable distance driving member 624 is disposed on the mounting member 621 and connected to the second feeding member 623, and the variable distance driving member 624 is used to drive the second feeding member 623 to move toward or away from the first feeding member 622 to adjust the distance between the first feeding member 622 and the second feeding member 623. Exemplarily, the variable pitch driving member 624 can be a cylinder, and the first loading member 622 and the second loading member 623 each include a loading plate 6221 and a plurality of adsorption parts 6222, the loading plate 6221 is connected to the mounting member 621, the plurality of adsorption parts 6222 are spaced apart on the loading plate 6221 and connected to an external air source, and the plurality of adsorption parts 6222 are adsorbed to different positions of the workpiece 500 to stably adsorb and remove the workpiece 500.

[0111] Since the spacing between two adjacent positioning members 52 in the positioning assembly 50 is different from the spacing between two adjacent processing stations in the external processing equipment 300, the second loading member 623 is driven toward or away from the first loading member 622 by the variable distance driving member 624 to adjust the spacing between the first loading member 622 and the second loading member 623, so that the first loading member 622 and the second loading member 623 can stably adsorb the workpiece 500 in the positioning assembly 50, and stably place the adsorbed workpiece 500 at the corresponding processing position in the external processing equipment 300, thereby improving the loading accuracy.

[0112] The working process of the above-mentioned feeding device 200 is roughly as follows:

[0113] First, the feeding drive member 42 drives the feeding member 43 to push the hanging branch 600 in the hanging frame 400 upward, so as to provide the hanging branch 600 clamped with the workpiece 500;

[0114] Then, the transfer module 10 drives the material picking member 22 to move into the hanging frame 400, the detection member 25 detects the position of the hanging branch 600 in the hanging frame 400 and forms detection information, the material picking driving part 222 drives the two material picking parts 223 to clamp the hanging branch 600 based on the detection information, and the transfer module 10 then drives the material picking member 22 and the removed hanging branch 600 to move out of the hanging frame 400. In the process of moving out of the hanging frame 400, the material picking member 22 compresses the corresponding elastic member 24 to the corresponding limit member 23 according to the tilt direction of the positioning rod 401, so that the material picking member 22 and the hanging frame 400 are in flexible contact, avoiding the rigid contact between the material picking member 22 and the positioning rod 401 of the hanging frame 400, which causes the workpiece 500 to interfere with the hanging frame 400 and other components, thereby improving the quality of the workpiece 500;

[0115] Next, the guide member 55 guides the workpiece 500 to be placed on the positioning member 52, and the positioning member 52 positions the workpiece 500 to a preset direction. At the same time, the suction member 54 suctions and fixes the workpiece 500 to the positioning member 52. The transfer module 10 then drives the stripping module 30 to move to the positioning member 52. The stripping drive member 31 drives the two stripping members 32 to clamp the two inner support parts 601, so that the two inner support parts 601 move relative to each other and compress the elastic part 603. The two inner support parts 601 are separated from the two inner walls of the workpiece 500 to loosen the workpiece 500. When the stripping member 32 clamps the inner support portion 601, the correction member 33 pushes the deformation position of the correction elastic portion 603 along the movement direction of the stripping member 32 through the correction groove 331 adapted to the elastic portion 603, so as to correct the distorted elastic portion 603 to a stable vertical state, so that the two inner support portions 601 stably compress the elastic portion 603 to quickly loosen the workpiece 500, thereby improving the stripping stability. The transfer module 10 then drives the stripping module 30 to place the removed hanging branches 600 in the collecting member 73 for centralized collection.

[0116] Finally, the first loading piece 622 and the second loading piece 623 remove two workpieces 500 respectively, and the variable-pitch drive piece 624 drives the second loading piece 623 to move away from the first loading piece 622 to adjust the distance between the first loading piece 622 and the second loading piece 623. The moving module 61 places the workpieces 500 removed by the first loading piece 622 and the second loading piece 623 in the corresponding processing stations in the external processing equipment 300, thereby quickly completing the material collection, positioning, and loading operations of the workpiece 500, thereby improving the loading efficiency.
