[0033] The present application embodiment provides a dual-station material taking device, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the double-station material picking device includes a frame 100, a rotary drive mechanism 200 and two material picking mechanisms 300, and the rotary drive mechanism 200 is arranged on the frame 100; the two material picking mechanisms 300 are arranged on the frame 100 at intervals in the horizontal direction, and the rotary drive mechanism 200 can drive the two material picking mechanisms 300 to rotate synchronously around an axis parallel to the vertical direction; each material picking mechanism 300 includes a lifting drive member 310 and a grabbing assembly 320 for grabbing products, and the lifting drive member 310 can drive the grabbing assembly 320 to rise and fall.

[0034] The double-station material picking device provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a rotating drive mechanism 200 and two material picking mechanisms 300 of the above-mentioned structure. When working, the two material picking mechanisms 300 are respectively located above the first station and the second station. The material picking mechanism 300 located above the first station grabs the product on the first station, and the material picking mechanism 300 located above the second station synchronously places the grabbed product on the second station. The two material picking mechanisms 300 are driven by the rotating drive mechanism 200 to rotate synchronously around an axis parallel to the vertical direction, so that the two material picking mechanisms 300 exchange positions, thereby realizing synchronous and staggered grabbing and placing of products at the two stations, so that the two stations can work at the same time, which greatly improves production efficiency and solves the problem of idle travel of traditional material picking equipment; and the rotation mode occupies a small area, which can save the space occupied by the double-station material picking device.

[0035] Among them, Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the frame 100 may include a mounting plate 110 and a plurality of support columns 120, wherein the plurality of support columns 120 are arranged at intervals, and the mounting plate 110 is installed on the top of the plurality of support columns 120, that is, the mounting plate 110 is supported by the plurality of support columns 120; the rotating drive mechanism 200 is arranged on the mounting plate 110, and two material picking mechanisms 300 are arranged at intervals below the mounting plate 110.

[0036] Optionally, the number of the support columns 120 may be two, three, four or more than four, and may be set according to actual needs.

The output end of the rotary drive mechanism 200 is connected to two material picking mechanisms 300, and can drive the two material picking mechanisms 300 to rotate synchronously around an axis parallel to the vertical direction to achieve the exchange of positions of the two material picking mechanisms 300.

[0038] Optionally, the lifting drive 310 can be a linear cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The output end of the lifting drive 310 is connected to the grabbing assembly 320 and can drive the grabbing assembly 320 to reciprocate in the vertical direction to drive the grabbing assembly 320 to lift.

By setting the above-mentioned rotating driving member 330, when the placement angle of the product to be grabbed is deviated, the grabbing driving member 321 and its corresponding grabbing assembly 320 can be driven to rotate by the rotating driving member 330 to adjust the grabbing angle of the grabbing assembly 320 so as to smoothly grab the product. Optionally, the rotating driving member 330 can be a motor or a rotary cylinder.

[0040] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the lifting drive member 310 is provided with a guide rail 311, and the guide rail 311 extends in the vertical direction; the rotating drive member 330 is provided with a slide 331, and the slide 331 is slidably matched with the guide rail 311 (that is, the slide 331 is matched with the guide rail 311 and can slide along the guide rail 311). By providing the guide rail 311 and the slide 331, the lifting and lowering of the grabbing assembly 320 can be guided, thereby improving the stability of the grabbing assembly 320 when lifting and lowering.

[0041] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the grabbing assembly 320 includes a grabbing driver 321 and a grabbing member 322. The output end of the grabbing driver 321 is connected to the grabbing member 322 and can drive the grabbing member 322 to grab or release the product; the output end of the lifting driver 310 is connected to the grabbing driver 321 and can drive the grabbing driver 321 to drive the grabbing member 322 to rise and fall.

[0042] Optionally, the grabbing member 322 includes two clamping plates arranged opposite to each other, and the grabbing driving member 321 can drive the two clamping plates to move closer to each other or away from each other to grab or release the product. Specifically, when the grabbing driving member 321 drives the two clamping plates to move closer to each other, the two clamping plates clamp the product to achieve grabbing of the product; when the grabbing driving member 321 drives the two clamping plates to move away from each other, the two clamping plates release the product. Optionally, the grabbing driving member 321 can be a linear cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the double-station material-collecting device further includes two detection mechanisms 400, and the two detection mechanisms 400 correspond one-to-one to the grabbing components 320 of the two material-collecting mechanisms 300. The detection mechanisms 400 are used to detect whether there are products on the corresponding grabbing components 320, and the detection mechanisms 400 are connected in communication with the rotary drive mechanism 200. By setting the above-mentioned detection mechanisms 400, the degree of automation control of the double-station material-collecting device can be improved.

[0044] Optionally, the detection mechanism 400 includes a detection component 410, and the detection component 410 includes a photoelectric transmitter 411 and a photoelectric receiver 412. The photoelectric transmitter 411 and the photoelectric receiver 412 are respectively located at two opposite sides of the corresponding grasping component 320, and the photoelectric transmitter 411 and the photoelectric receiver 412 are used in matching. Specifically, the photoelectric transmitter 411 is used to emit a light beam, and the photoelectric receiver 412 is used to receive the light beam emitted by the photoelectric transmitter 411. When the photoelectric receiver 412 does not receive the light beam, it means that there is a product on the corresponding grasping component 320, and the product on the grasping component 320 blocks the light beam emitted by the photoelectric transmitter 411; when the photoelectric receiver 412 can receive the light beam, it means that there is no product on the corresponding grasping component 320, and the light beam emitted by the photoelectric transmitter 411 is not blocked.

Such a setting can increase the detection range of the detection mechanism 400, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0047] For example, Fig.12As shown, each detection mechanism 400 includes two detection components 410. For the convenience of description, the two detection components 410 of the same detection mechanism 400 are defined as a first detection component and a second detection component, respectively.

By providing the above-mentioned mounting frame 500, it is convenient to connect the material-retrieving mechanism 300 with the rotary drive mechanism 200, so as to realize that the two material-retrieving mechanisms 300 are driven to rotate synchronously by one rotary drive mechanism 200.

[0049] Figures 1 to 9 The working principle of the double-station material taking device shown is as follows:

A first workstation and a second workstation are provided on the production line. When starting to work, the first material picking mechanism 300 is located above the first workstation, and the second material picking mechanism 300 is located above the second workstation. The lifting drive parts 310 of the two material picking mechanisms 300 synchronously drive their corresponding grabbing components 320 to descend. After descending to the right position, the grabbing component 320 of the first material picking mechanism 300 grabs the product on the first workstation, and at the same time, the grabbing component 320 of the second material picking mechanism 300 places the grabbed product on the second workstation. Then, the lifting drive parts 310 of the two material picking mechanisms 300 synchronously drive their corresponding grabbing components 320 to rise to a safe position, and then the rotary drive mechanism 200 drives the two material picking mechanisms 300 to rotate synchronously around an axis parallel to the vertical direction, so that the two material picking mechanisms 300 exchange positions (i.e., the first material picking mechanism 300 Then, the lifting drive members 310 of the two feeding mechanisms 300 synchronously drive their corresponding grabbing components 320 to descend. After descending to the right position, the grabbing component 320 of the second feeding mechanism 300 grabs the product on the first station, and at the same time, the grabbing component 320 of the first feeding mechanism 300 places the grabbed product on the second station. Then, the lifting drive members 310 of the two feeding mechanisms 300 synchronously drive their corresponding grabbing components 320 to rise to a safe position, and then the rotary drive mechanism 200 drives the two feeding mechanisms 300 to rotate synchronously around an axis parallel to the vertical direction, so that the two feeding mechanisms 300 exchange positions (that is, the first feeding mechanism 300 is located above the first station and the second feeding mechanism 300 is located above the second station). This is repeated continuously to achieve synchronous and staggered grabbing and placement of products at the two stations.
