[0040] It should be noted that the information acquirer 331 may be a barcode scanning camera, which can obtain the level information of the display screen by scanning the QR code or barcode on the display screen.

[0041] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 20 also includes an empty pallet standby structure 22, which extends along the second direction of the base 11. The empty pallet standby structure 22 has two groups, and multiple full pallet sorting structures 23 are located between the empty pallet standby structures 22. The full pallet feeding structure 21 is adjacent to the full pallet sorting structure 23. The full pallet sorting structure 23 has six groups. The full pallet feeding structure 21 inputs the pallet with the display screen to be sorted (that is, inputs a group of pallets with the display screen to be sorted, and a group of pallets has 20 to 30). The transport structure 32 transports the display screen to the transfer platform structure 41, and moves the empty pallet to the full pallet sorting structure to prepare for placing the sorted display screen. The number of full pallet sorting structures 23 is greater than the number of full pallet feeding structures 21.

[0042] It should also be noted that the rack assembly 10 further includes a housing 12, and the housing 12 is disposed on the base 11. The first direction is the X direction shown in the figure, and the second direction is the Y direction shown in the figure.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the transfer platform structure 41 includes a first drive motor, a first movable guide rail 411, a first ball screw, a first movable seat, a first movable frame 412 and a first alignment platform 413. The first drive motor is connected to the first ball screw, the first movable frame 412 is movably mounted on the first movable guide rail 411, the first movable seat cooperates with the first ball screw, the first movable frame 412 is connected to the first movable seat, and the first alignment platform 413 is mounted on the first movable frame 412. The first driving motor drives the first ball screw to rotate, and the first moving seat is meshed with the first ball screw through a thread. Driven by the first ball screw, the first moving seat moves along the axial direction of the first ball screw. The first moving seat is connected to the first moving frame 412, driving the first moving frame 412 to move at the same time. The first moving frame 412 is movably installed on the first moving guide rail. The friction between the first moving guide rail and the first moving frame 412 is small. The first moving guide rail can support the first moving frame 412, so that the movement of the first moving frame 412 is more stable. The first alignment platform 413 is installed on the first moving frame 412 and moves therewith. The display screen is placed on the first alignment platform 413 for initial positioning, and then the display screen moves with the first alignment platform 413. The transfer platform structure 41 can perform preliminary positioning of the display screen, and at the same time facilitate the information acquisition structure 33 to obtain information from the display screen (i.e., obtain the grade information of the display screen in preparation for subsequent sorting). The first alignment platform 413 is divided into two groups, which can simultaneously position two groups of display screens, effectively improving the sorting efficiency. UVW platforms are installed on both groups of first alignment platforms 413.

[0044] It should be noted that the UVW platform can realize rotational movement with any point on the plane as the center, and can achieve high-precision deviation correction. The UVW platform is composed of two sets of X-axis electric modules and one set of Y-axis electric modules, which are stacked together and an electric rotation mechanism is placed on the top to form a UVW alignment platform, which can realize multi-angle and multi-directional adjustment to make the display placement more accurate.

The connection relationship and matching relationship between the second drive motor 421, the second movable guide rail 422, the second ball screw, the second movable seat, and the second movable frame 423 are consistent with the first drive motor, the first movable guide rail 411, the first ball screw, the first movable seat, and the first movable frame 412, and are not repeated here. The first suction cup module 424 is connected to the second movable frame 423, and can move along the axial direction of the second ball screw as the second movable frame 423 moves. The second movable frame 423 and the first suction cup module 424 are two groups arranged corresponding to the two groups of first alignment platforms 413, and can transport the display screen placed on the first alignment platform 413, and the display screen is transferred to the sorting platform structure 51 through the movement of the first suction cup module 424.

[0046] It should be noted that the first suction cup module 424 is installed on the second movable frame 423 in a liftable manner. There are various lifting methods, such as hydraulic drive, pneumatic drive, electric push rod, etc. In this embodiment, the lifting of the first suction cup module 424 is achieved by an electric push rod.

The connection and matching methods of the third driving motor, the third moving guide rail 511, the third ball screw, the third moving seat, and the third moving frame 512 are consistent with the first driving motor, the first moving guide rail 411, the first ball screw, the first moving seat, and the first moving frame 412, and are not repeated here. The second alignment platform 513 is installed on the third moving frame 512 and can move along the axial direction of the third ball screw with the third moving frame 512. The second alignment platform 513 can precisely position the display screen and precisely adjust the placement of the display screen, so that the robot arm grabbing module can carry the display screen. The second alignment platform 513 is also a UVW alignment platform. Fig.10 The figure shows two positions of the third movable frame 512 and the second alignment platform 513 before and after movement (four groups of third movable frames 512 and second alignment platforms 513 are shown). In actual work, one group of third movable frames 512 and second alignment platforms 513 are respectively arranged on each third movable guide rail 511.

[0048] like Figure 4 and Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments, the sorting structure 52 includes a robot arm grabbing module 521, a moving module 522 and a fourth suction cup module 523.

The moving module 522 is located on one side of the conveying component 20, close to the sorting platform structure 51, so as to facilitate sorting of the display screen placed on the sorting platform structure 51. The fourth suction cup module 523 is arranged on the robot arm grabbing module 521 and can move with the movement of the robot arm grabbing module 521. The fourth suction cup module 523 absorbs the display screen through negative pressure. The sorting structure 52 extends along the X direction of the base 11 and is installed on the base 11 . The sorting structure 52 is provided with two groups, which correspond to the two groups of sorting platform structures 51 respectively, so that the display screens can be sorted more efficiently.

[0049] It should be noted that the robot arm material grabbing module 521 is rotatably set on the mobile module 522, and the sorting structure 52 also includes a rotating shaft and a rotating motor. The rotating shaft cooperates with the rotating motor and drives the rotating shaft to rotate under the drive of the rotating motor.
