[0094] See also Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a feeding mechanism 1 for moving a workpiece 800 to a predetermined position of a carrier, wherein the workpiece 800 may be a magnet mounted on a tablet computer housing, a mobile phone component, etc. For ease of understanding and description, the embodiment of the present application takes the workpiece 800 as a magnet mounted on a tablet computer housing as an example for description, which is obviously not a limitation of the embodiment of the present application.

[0096] The carrier assembly 20 is disposed on the machine platform 10 and is used to carry the workpiece 800 . The carrier positioning assembly 60 is disposed on the machine platform 10 and is located at one side of the carrier assembly 20 . The carrier positioning assembly 60 is used to position the carrier and drive the carrier to open.

[0097] The positioning and flipping assembly 50 is arranged on the machine 10 and is located between the supporting assembly 20 and the carrier positioning assembly 60; the pick-and-place assembly 30 is arranged on the machine 10 and is located on one side of the supporting assembly 20 and the carrier positioning assembly 60; the identification component 40 is arranged on the pick-and-place assembly 30, and the identification component 40 is used to identify the position and the positive and negative posture of the workpiece 800 on the supporting assembly 20. The pick-and-place assembly 30 is used to remove the workpiece 800 from the supporting assembly 20 and move it to the positioning and flipping assembly 50. The positioning and flipping assembly 50 is used to position the workpiece 800 and drive the workpiece 800 to flip according to the identification information of the identification component 40. The pick-and-place assembly 30 is also used to remove the workpiece 800 from the positioning and flipping assembly 50 and move it to a predetermined position of the carrier.

[0098] Specifically, the bearing assembly 20 , the positioning and flipping assembly 50 , and the carrier positioning assembly 60 are sequentially arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the recognition component 40 is a CCD visual recognition camera. When the loading mechanism 1 loads the workpiece 800 to the predetermined position of the carrier, the workpiece 800 and the carrier are first placed on the supporting component 20 and the positioning and flipping component 50 respectively by a manipulator (not shown in the figure), the positioning and flipping component 50 positions the carrier and drives the carrier to open, and then the pick-and-place component 30 drives the identification component 40 to move above the supporting component 20, the identification component 40 identifies the position and the positive and negative posture of the workpiece 800 on the supporting component 20, the pick-and-place component 30 takes out the workpiece 800 according to the position information of the workpiece 800 on the supporting component 20 and moves it to the positioning and flipping component 50, the positioning and flipping component 50 positions the workpiece 800, and when the identification component 40 determines that the workpiece 800 needs to be flipped according to the positive and negative postures of the workpiece 800 on the supporting component 20, the positioning and flipping component 50 drives the workpiece 800 to flip according to the identification information of the identification component 40, and finally the pick-and-place component 30 takes the workpiece 800 out of the positioning and flipping component 50 and moves it to the predetermined position of the carrier.

[0099] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the bearing assembly 20 includes a linear module 21, a bearing platform 22 and a carrier plate 23. The linear module 21 is arranged on the machine platform 10 and is located on one side of the pick-and-place assembly 30, and the linear module 21 extends toward the positioning and flipping assembly 50 along the Y-axis direction; the bearing platform 22 is arranged on the linear module 21 to approach or move away from the positioning and flipping assembly 50 under the drive of the linear module 21; the carrier plate 23 is movably arranged on the side of the bearing platform 22 away from the linear module 21, and the carrier plate 23 is provided with a plurality of bearing slots 231 arranged at intervals, and the plurality of bearing slots 231 are used to bear the workpiece 800. By movably placing the carrier 23 on the supporting platform 22 and providing a plurality of supporting grooves 231 on the carrier 23, it is convenient to place the workpiece 800 on the carrier 23 in other processes and to roughly position the workpiece 800. By setting a linear module 21 to drive the carrier 22 to approach or move away from the positioning flipping component 50, it is convenient to place the carrier 23 carrying the workpiece 800 on the supporting platform 22 outside the machine 10.

[0100] In this embodiment, the bearing assembly 20 further includes a limit block 24, which is disposed on the side of the bearing platform 22 away from the linear module 21 and abuts against the carrier 23, and is used to position the carrier 23. Specifically, there are a plurality of limit blocks 24, which are spaced apart on the side of the bearing platform 22 away from the linear module 21 and are disposed around the carrier 23. By arranging the limit blocks 24 to position the carrier 23, it is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the position of the carrier 23 on the bearing platform 22, thereby facilitating the pick-and-place assembly 30 to accurately take out the workpiece 800.

[0101] In this embodiment, the supporting assembly 20 also includes a suction cup 25, which is arranged on the side of the supporting platform 22 away from the linear module 21 and is located between multiple limit blocks 24. The suction cup 25 fixes the carrier 23 by vacuum adsorption, thereby effectively preventing the carrier 23 from moving on the supporting platform 22.

[0102] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the pick-and-place assembly 30 includes a robot arm 31, a mounting seat 32, a lifting drive unit 33 and a suction member 34. The robot arm 31 is disposed on the machine platform 10 and is located on one side of the bearing assembly 20 and the carrier positioning assembly 60; the mounting seat 32 is disposed on the robot arm 31 to move under the drive of the robot arm 31, and the identification member 40 is disposed on the mounting seat 32; the lifting drive unit 33 is disposed on the mounting seat 32 and is spaced apart from the identification member 40; the suction member 34 is connected to the lifting drive unit 33, and the suction member 34 is lifted and lowered under the drive of the lifting drive unit 33, and is used to suck the workpiece 800. Among them, the robot arm 31 can drive the mounting seat 32, the lifting drive unit 33 and the suction member 34 to move and rotate according to the identification information of the identification member 40, and the suction member 34 sucks the workpiece 800 by vacuum adsorption. By setting up a mechanical arm 31 to drive the mounting base 32, the lifting drive unit 33 and the suction member 34 to move, it is convenient to accurately move the suction member 34 to a position directly opposite to the bearing component 20, the positioning flip component 50 and the carrier positioning component 60. By setting up the lifting drive unit 33 to drive the suction member 34 to rise and fall, it is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the suction member 34 in picking up and placing the workpiece 800. In addition, the suction member 34 picks up the workpiece 800 by adsorption, which can effectively avoid scratching the surface of the workpiece 800.

[0103] In this embodiment, the lifting drive unit 33 includes a lifting seat 331, a first lifting drive member 332, and a second lifting drive member 333. The side of the mounting seat 32 away from the identification member 40 has a first slide rail 321 extending along the Z-axis direction, the lifting seat 331 is slidably arranged on the first slide rail 321 of the mounting seat 32 and is spaced from the identification member 40, the side of the lifting seat 331 away from the mounting seat 32 has a second slide rail 3311 extending along the Z-axis direction, and the suction member 34 is slidably arranged on the second slide rail 3311 of the lifting seat 331; the first lifting drive member 332 is arranged on the mounting seat 32 and connected to the lifting seat 331, and the first lifting drive member 332 is used to drive the lifting seat 331 to rise and fall; the second lifting drive member 333 is arranged on the lifting seat 331 and connected to the suction member 34, and the second lifting drive member 333 is used to drive the suction member 34 to rise and fall. Among them, the first lifting drive member 332 and the second lifting drive member 333 can both be telescopic cylinders, and the stroke of the first lifting drive member 332 is greater than the stroke of the second lifting drive member 333. When the robot arm 31 drives the suction member 34 to move to a position opposite to the supporting component 20, the first lifting drive member 332 first drives the lifting seat 331, the second lifting drive member 333 and the suction member 34 to move toward the carrier 23 of the supporting component 20, and then the second lifting drive member 333 drives the suction member 34 to move toward the carrier 23 of the supporting component 20 to suck the workpiece 800, thereby avoiding the situation where the first lifting drive member 332 cannot drive the suction member 34 to suck the workpiece 800 due to stroke limitation. In addition, since the second lifting drive member 333 has a small stroke and high precision, it is beneficial to improve the accuracy of driving the suction member 34 to suck the workpiece 800.

[0104] In this embodiment, the lifting drive unit 33 further includes a guide block 334, which is disposed on the lifting seat 331, and the second lifting drive member 333 and the guide block 334 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the second slide rail 3311, and the guide block 334 is provided with a guide hole 3341, through which the suction member 34 passes. When the second lifting drive member 333 drives the suction member 34 to move toward the carrier plate 23 of the bearing assembly 20, the guide block 334 limits the moving distance of the suction member 34, and the guide hole 3341 guides the moving direction of the suction member 34, thereby facilitating the suction member 34 to absorb the workpiece 800 with greater accuracy.

[0105] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the positioning and flipping assembly 50 includes a fixed frame 51, a guide seat 52, a clamping drive member 53, two clamping members 54 and a rotating drive member 55. The fixed frame 51 is arranged on the machine platform 10 and is located between the bearing assembly 20 and the carrier positioning assembly 60; the guide seat 52 is rotatably arranged on the fixed frame 51, and the guide seat 52 has a first guide protrusion 5231 and a second guide protrusion 5232 arranged at intervals, and a positioning space 5233 for accommodating the workpiece 800 is formed between the first guide protrusion 5231 and the second guide protrusion 5232, and the first guide protrusion 5231 and the second guide protrusion 5232 are respectively used to abut against the two ends of the workpiece 800, and the guide seat 52 is also provided with a material taking port 5234 directly opposite to the positioning space 5233. The clamping driving member 53 is arranged on the guiding seat 52 and is located on the side of the first guiding protrusion 5231 away from the second guiding protrusion 5232; the two clamping members 54 are connected to the clamping driving member 53 and extend into the positioning space 5233 from both sides of the positioning space 5233 respectively, and the clamping driving member 53 is used to drive the two clamping members 54 to clamp and position the workpiece 800; the rotating driving member 55 is arranged on the fixing frame 51 and connected to the guiding seat 52, and the rotating driving member 55 is used to drive the guiding seat 52 to turn over according to the identification information of the identification member 40, so that the guiding seat 52 drives the workpiece 800 to turn over. Among them, the clamping driving member 53 can be a clamping cylinder, and the rotating driving member 55 can be a rotating cylinder.

[0106] After the pick-and-place component 30 takes the workpiece 800 out of the supporting component 20, the workpiece 800 may be skewed or have incorrect positive and negative postures, which may affect the accuracy of loading onto the carrier. At this time, the pick-and-place component 30 places the workpiece 800 in the positioning space 5233, and the first guide protrusion 5231 and the second guide protrusion 5232 abut against the two ends of the workpiece 800 to roughly position the workpiece 800. Then, the clamping drive component 53 drives the two clamping components 54 to clamp the workpiece 800 and precisely position the workpiece 800. If the identification component 40 determines that the workpiece 800 needs to be flipped based on the positive and negative postures of the workpiece 800 on the supporting component 20, the rotating drive component 55 drives the guide seat 52 and the workpiece 800 to flip based on the identification information of the identification component 40. Then, the suction component 34 of the pick-and-place component 30 extends from the material taking port 5234 to take out the positioned and flipped workpiece 800.

[0107] In this way, by setting the first guide protrusion 5231, the second guide protrusion 5232, the clamping drive member 53 and the two clamping members 54 to cooperate in positioning the workpiece 800, and setting the rotating drive member 55 to drive the guide seat 52 to flip so that the guide seat 52 drives the workpiece 800 to flip, it is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the positioning and flipping component 50 in positioning the workpiece 800 and driving the workpiece 800 to flip, and further helps to improve the accuracy of the pick-and-place component 30 in placing the workpiece 800 at the predetermined position of the carrier.

[0108] In this embodiment, the guide seat 52 includes a rotating member 521, an assembly member 522 and a guide member 523. The rotating member 521 and the assembly member 522 are both plate-shaped, and the guide member 523 is block-shaped. The rotating member 521 is rotatably arranged on the fixed frame 51 and connected to the rotating driving member 55. Positioning holes 5211 are provided at both ends of the rotating member 521. The assembly member 522 is vertically arranged on the side of the rotating member 521 away from the fixed frame 51 and extends along the Y-axis direction. The guide member 523 is arranged at one end of the assembly member 522 away from the rotating member 521. The first guide protrusion 5231 and the second guide protrusion 5232 are convexly arranged on the side of the guide member 523 away from the assembly member 522. The material taking port 5234 is opened on the guide member 523. The clamping driving member 53 is arranged on the assembly member 522 and is located on the side of the guide member 523 close to the rotating member 521. In this way, it is convenient to process the guide seat 52.

[0109] In this embodiment, the positioning and flipping assembly 50 also includes a positioning drive 56 and a positioning pin 57. The positioning drive 56 is arranged on the fixed frame 51.
