[0087] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "or / and" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0088] For the processing of the mobile phone frame, the frame needs to be fixed by a jig first, and then the jig with the frame fixed is placed in a CNC machine tool (CNC), and the frame is processed by the CNC machine tool. After processing, the processed frame needs to be removed from the jig for subsequent processes, and then the unprocessed frame is placed in the jig for CNC machine tool processing.

[0089] Usually, the frame processed by the CNC machine tool is manually removed from the jig, and the unprocessed frame is manually installed on the jig, that is, the frame on the jig is manually replaced by the staff, which has low work efficiency.

[0090] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a material exchange device that can automatically replace materials. The material exchange device is used to replace the first material in the jig with the second material. The jig includes a first component and a second component. The first material is fixed between the first component and the second component. The material exchange device includes a positioning module, a disassembly and assembly clamping module, a material discharge module and a material loading module. The positioning module is used to fix the jig with the first material; the disassembly and assembly clamping module includes a moving component, a disassembly and assembly clamping component and an adsorption component. The moving component is used to drive the disassembly and assembly clamping component and the adsorption component to move toward the positioning module. The disassembly and assembly clamping component is used to disassemble the first component and the second component of the jig in the positioning module to release the fixation of the jig to the first material. The adsorption component is used to adsorb the disassembled second component to expose the first material; the material discharge module is used to take away the first material exposed in the jig; the material loading module is used to put the second material into the jig; the disassembly and assembly clamping component is also used to assemble the second component adsorbed by the adsorption component with the first component of the jig in the positioning module so that the jig fixes the second material.

[0091] The above-mentioned material exchange equipment fixes the jig through the positioning module, and drives the disassembly and assembly clamping assembly to move through the moving assembly, so that the disassembly and assembly clamping assembly can separate the first component and the second component of the jig fixed in the positioning module, and absorb the disassembled second component through the adsorption assembly, so that the disassembly assembly, the adsorption assembly and the second component can move under the drive of the moving assembly to expose the first material, and the exposed first material can be taken away through the unloading module, and the second material can be provided to the jig after the first material is taken away through the loading module, so that the exposed first material becomes the second material, and the disassembly and assembly clamping assembly, the adsorption assembly and the second component can move under the drive of the moving assembly, so that the second component can be assembled with the first component, so that the second material is fixed between the first component and the second component, and the automatic replacement of the first material and the second material on the jig can be completed.

[0092] Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0093] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present application, a material exchange device 100 is provided, which is used to replace a first material 310 in a jig 200 with a second material 320. The first material 310 in the jig 200 is a processed material, and the second material 320 is a material to be processed. When the jig 200 enters the material exchange device 100, the material exchange device 100 can automatically take out the first material 310 in the jig 200 and put the second material 320 into the jig 200, so that the second material 320 can enter the CNC machine tool with the jig 200 for processing.

[0094] In some embodiments, see Fig.10 The jig 200 includes a first component 210 and a second component 220, the second component 220 is detachably mounted on the first component 210, and the first material 310 or the second material 320 is fixed between the first component 210 and the second component 220. The first component 210 serves as the base of the jig 200, and the second component 220 serves as a pressing block of the jig 200. The second component 220 presses the first material 310 or the second material 320 on the first component 210 to position the first material 310 or the second material 320. When in use, the first component 210 as the base is horizontally placed on the material exchange device 100, and the second component 220 as the pressing block is located above the first component 210.

[0095] In some embodiments, the material exchange device 100 includes a positioning module 10, a disassembly and assembly clamping module 20, a material discharge module 50, and a material loading module 40. The positioning module 10 is used to fix the jig 200. The disassembly and assembly clamping module 20 is arranged directly above the positioning module 10, and acts on the jig 200 fixed in the positioning module 10, and is used to disassemble the first component 210 and the second component 220 and expose the first material 310, or assemble the first component 210 and the second component 220 and fix the second material 320 to the jig 200. The material discharge module 50 is arranged on one side of the positioning module 10, and is used to take away the first material 310 exposed in the jig 200. The material loading module 40 is arranged on the other side of the positioning module 10, and is used to put the second material 320 into the jig 200. Thereby, the automatic replacement of the first material 310 and the second material 320 on the jig 200 is realized, and the degree of automation and operation efficiency are improved.

[0096] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 In some embodiments, the disassembly and assembly clamping module 20 includes a moving component 21, a disassembly and assembly clamping component 22, and an adsorption component 2212. The moving component 21 is used to drive the disassembly and assembly clamping component 22 and the adsorption component 2212 to move. The disassembly and assembly clamping component 22 is used to disassemble or assemble the first component 210 and the second component 220. The adsorption component 2212 is used to adsorb the disassembled second component 220. When the disassembly and assembly clamping module 20 is used to disassemble the first component 210 and the second component 220, the disassembly and assembly clamping component 22 is driven by the moving component 21 to move close to the positioning module 10, so that the disassembly and assembly clamping component 22 can disassemble the first component 210 and the second component 220 of the fixture 200 in the positioning module 10 to release the fixture 200 from fixing the first material 310. The disassembly and assembly clamping component 22 and the adsorption component 2212 adsorbing the second component 220 are also driven by the moving component 21 to move away from the positioning module 10, so that the first material 310 can be exposed. When the disassembly and assembly clamping module 20 is used to assemble the first component 210 and the second component 220 , the disassembly and assembly clamping module 22 is driven by the moving component 21 to move close to the positioning module 10 , so that the disassembly and assembly clamping module 22 can assemble the first component 210 and the second component 220 of the fixture 200 in the positioning module 10 to fix the second material 320 to the fixture 200 .

[0097] In some embodiments, the moving component 21 drives the disassembly and assembly clamp component 22 and the adsorption component 2212 to move in a vertical direction, and the vertical direction is a direction parallel to the Z axis.

[0098] See also Figure 3-Figure 5In some embodiments, the disassembly and assembly clamp assembly 22 includes a body 221, and the adsorption assembly 2212 includes a first suction cup 22121. The body 221 is provided with a receiving groove 2211, and the receiving groove 2211 is used to receive the second component 220. The first suction cup 22121 is provided in the receiving groove 2211 and is used to adsorb the second component 220, so that the second component 220 moves with the body 221, thereby separating the first component 210 and the second component 220 to expose the first material 310. When the first suction cup 22121 adsorbs the second component 220, the second component 220 is adsorbed into the receiving groove 2211, and the receiving groove 2211 positions the second component 220 so that the second component 220 cannot move in the horizontal direction.

[0099] See also Fig.10 As an example, the first material 310 and the second material 320 are in the shape of long strips, and there are four second parts 220. The four second parts 220 are arranged along the length direction of the first material 310 and the second material 320, so as to more firmly fix the first material 310 or the second material 320 to the first part 210. The length direction of the first material 310 and the second material 320 is parallel to the Y axis. Figure 2-Figure 5 The disassembly and assembly clamp assembly 22 can disassemble four second components 220 at the same time. There are four accommodating grooves 2211 and four first suction cups 22121, so as to simultaneously absorb the four disassembled second components 220, so that the four second components 220 move with the main body 221 at the same time, thereby achieving the effect of exposing the first material 310.

[0100] See also Fig.10 In some embodiments, the fixture 200 further includes a third component 230 , and the first component 210 and the second component 220 are connected and fixed via the third component 230 .

[0101] See also Figure 3-Figure 5In some embodiments, the disassembly and assembly clamp assembly 22 further includes a disassembly and assembly clamp tool 222, which is used to connect with the third component 230 so as to drive the third component 230 to rotate. The body 221 is provided with a channel 2213 and a magnetic member 2214, the channel 2213 is connected to the receiving groove 2211, and the magnetic member 2214 is arranged in the channel 2213, so that after the disassembly and assembly clamp tool 222 passes through the magnetic member 2214 and the channel 2213, it acts on the third component 230 to disassemble the first component 210 and the second component 220. The magnetic member 2214 is used to absorb the third component 230, so that after the first component 210 and the second component 220 are separated, the third component 230 will move relative to the second component 220 and partially enter the channel 2213. In some embodiments, the third component 230 is a screw, the disassembly and clamping tool 222 is a screwdriver head, the first component 210 is provided with a connecting hole for threaded connection with the third component 230, and the second component 220 is provided with a through hole for allowing the third component 230 to pass through, so that the third component 230 connects the first component 210 and the second component 220 together, and fixes the first material 310 or the second material 320 between the first component 210 and the second component 220.

[0102] When the magnetic member 2214 attracts the third component 230, the magnetic member 2214 fixes one end of the third component 230, so that the third component 230 can easily assemble the first component 210 and the second component 220 together. In detail, when the body 221 drives the second component 220 and the third component 230 to approach the first component 210, the third component 230 fixed at one end can prevent the third component 230 from shaking, thereby preventing the other end of the third component 230 from failing to align with the connection hole on the first component 210.

[0103] When the magnetic member 2214 partially absorbs the third component 230 into the channel 2213, the length of the third component 230 exposed from the second component 220 can be shortened. When the body 221 drives the second component 220 and the third component 230 to approach the first component 210, the third component 230 can be prevented from being exposed too much below the second component 220 to cause the third component 230 to shake, thereby preventing the other end of the third component 230 from being unable to align with the connection hole on the first component 210.

[0104] As an illustrative example, the channel 2213 is cylindrical, and the magnetic component 2214 is fixedly connected to the channel 2213, specifically clamped in the channel 2213. The magnetic component 2214 is a ring-shaped magnet. The disassembly and clamping tool 222 can pass through the magnetic component 2214 to act on the third component 230. The third component 230 cannot pass through the magnetic component 2214 to prevent the third component 230 from excessively entering the channel 2213.

[0105] As an illustrative example, the number of third components 230 and the second components 220 are the same and correspond one to one. One third component 230 is disassembled and assembled by one disassembly and assembly clamping tool 222, so that four disassembly and assembly clamping tools 222 can simultaneously disassemble and assemble four second components 220. The number of magnetic suction parts 2214 and the third components 230 are the same and correspond one to one, so that the magnetic suction parts 2214 can simultaneously absorb four disassembled third components 230.

[0106] See also Figure 3 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, although when the first suction cup 22121 attracts the second component 220, the third component 230 will move along with the body 221 together with the second component 220, there is a certain distance between the second component 220 and the magnetic suction component 2214. Due to the limited magnetism of the magnetic suction component 2214, the magnetism of the magnetic suction component 2214 may be insufficient to partially absorb the third component 230 into the channel 2213.

[0107] Therefore, in order to better enable the magnetic suction component 2214 to adsorb the third component 230, the material exchange equipment 100 also includes an ejection module 30, which is arranged on the side of the positioning module 10 facing away from the disassembly and assembly clamping module 20, that is, the ejection module 30 is arranged directly below the positioning module 10, and is used to drive the third component 230 to move toward the magnetic suction component 2214, so that part of the third component 230 enters the channel 2213, and the third component 230 contacts the magnetic suction component 2214, so that the magnetic suction component 2214 adsorbs the third component 230.

[0108] The ejection module 30 includes a first driving member 31 and an ejector pin 32. The first driving member 31 is used to drive the ejector pin 32 to move toward the positioning module 10. The first driving member 31 drives the ejector pin 32 to move in the vertical direction, so that the ejector pin 32 applies force to the third component 230 of the fixture 200 in the positioning module 10 toward the magnetic member 2214, and partially pushes the third component 230 into the channel 2213, so that the third component 230 is adsorbed by the magnetic member 2214. The first driving member 31 drives the ejector pin 32 to move, so that the ejector pin 32 drives the third component 230 to move toward the magnetic member 2214, so that the third component 230 can be closer to the magnetic member 2214 or directly contact the magnetic member 2214, so that the magnetic member 2214 can adsorb the third component 230, and can assist the third component 230 to be adsorbed by the magnetic member 2214, so as to prevent the magnetic member 2214 from being insufficiently magnetic and failing to adsorb part of the third component 230 to the channel 2213.

[0109] As an illustrative example, the number of ejector pins 32 and the number of magnetic elements 2214 are the same and correspond one to one, so that four ejector pins 32 apply force to four third components 230 at the same time.

[0110] See also Fig. 9In some embodiments, the ejection module 30 further includes an elastic member 33 , which is respectively connected to the first driving member 31 and the ejector pin 32 , so as to avoid rigid contact between the ejector pin 32 and the third member 230 .

[0111] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, the positioning module 10 includes a carrier platform 13 and at least two first clamps 11. The carrier platform 13 is used to carry the jig 200. The first clamps 11 are used to press the first component 210 against the carrier platform 13. At least two first clamps 11 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the carrier platform 13 to fix the first component 210 from two different directions to better fix the first component 210 and prevent the first component 210 from shifting on the carrier platform 13.

[0112] As an illustrative example, the first clamp 11 is a rotary clamping cylinder, and positioning parts are provided at the four corners of the first component 210. The number of first clamps 11 is four, and each first clamp 11 abuts against a positioning part so as to press the four corners of the first component 210 against the supporting platform 13 to better fix the first component 210.

By moving the fourth component 240 along the first direction by the second clamp 12, the second positioning surface 241 of the fourth component 240 can be pushed close to the first positioning surface 21011, so that the second positioning surface 241 and the first positioning surface 21011 clamp the second material 320. As an illustrative example, the second clamp 12 is driven to move along the first direction by a cylinder to move the second clamp 12 close to or away from the fourth component 240.

[0116] As an illustrative example, the fourth component 240 is connected to the first component 210 through a spring, and the extension direction of the spring is the first direction, so that the fourth component 240 moves along the first direction to approach or move away from the first positioning surface 21011.

In detail, when the first positioning surface 21011 and the second positioning surface 241 clamp the second material 320, the connection hole and the through hole are communicated, and the fifth component 250 is connected to the connection hole by threading, thereby connecting the first component 210 and the fourth component 240, and the first material 310 or the second material 320 is sandwiched between the first positioning surface 21011 and the second positioning surface 241.

[0118] See also Figure 3-Figure 5In some embodiments, the disassembly and clamping tool 222 is also used to act on the fifth component 250, which can drive the fifth component 250 to rotate, release the connection between the fourth component 240 and the first component 210, so that the second positioning surface 241 releases the first material 310, and fix the fourth component 240 to the first component 210, so that the second positioning surface 241 and the first positioning surface 21011 clamp the first material 310 or the second material 320.

At this time, the sides of the two groups of fourth components 240 close to the protrusion 2101 are both second positioning surfaces 241, and the two sides of the protrusion 2101 close to the two groups of fourth components 240 are both second positioning surfaces 241. The two groups of fourth components 240 move close to or away from the protrusion 2101, and can clamp the second material 320 or release the first material 310 at the same time, so that the two first materials 310 installed on the first component 210 can be replaced with two second materials 320 at the same time.

[0120] There are four fourth components 240, and the number of fifth components 250 is the same as that of the fourth components 240 and they correspond one to one.

[0122] See also Figure 7In some embodiments, the material discharge module 50 includes an inclined hopper 51 and a material discharge cantilever 52. The material discharge cantilever 52 is used to transfer the first material 310 to the hopper 51 so that the first material 310 slides along the hopper 51, thereby outputting the first material 310. The material discharge cantilever 52 includes a second driving member 521 and a first grabbing member 522. The first grabbing member 522 is used to grab the first material 310, and the second driving member 521 is used to drive the first grabbing member 522 to move. In detail, the second driving member 521 can drive the first grabbing member 522 to rotate in the horizontal direction, and can also drive the first grabbing member 522 to move in the vertical direction.

The first positioning members 523 are used to position the first grabbing member 522. When the first grabbing member 522 moves to abut against one first positioning member 523, the first grabbing member 522 can grab the first material 310 on the first component 210. When the first grabbing member 522 moves to abut against another first positioning member 523, the first grabbing member 522 can move the first material 310 grabbed from the first component 210 to the hopper 51.

[0127] In some embodiments, the loading module 40 includes a loading component 41 and a loading arm 42, the loading component 41 includes a conveying member 411 and a loading tray 412, the loading tray 412 is used to place the second material 320, the conveying member 411 is used to transport the loading tray 412 to the loading cantilever 42, the loading cantilever 42 is used to place the second material 320 provided by the conveying member 411 into the first component 210, the loading cantilever 42 includes a third driving member 421 and a second grabbing member 422, the second grabbing member 422 is used to grab the second material 320, and the third driving member 421 is used to drive the second grabbing member 422 to move.

[0128] As an illustrative example, the conveying member 411 can be a conveying track, a conveyor belt or a pneumatic slide, etc. For example, the second material 320 placed on the loading tray 412 is transported to the loading cantilever 42 through the pneumatic slide so that the loading cantilever 42 can grab it.

[0129] In some embodiments, the third driving member 421 is a rotary pressing cylinder.

[0130] In some embodiments, the second gripping member 422 includes a second rotating portion 4221 and a plurality of third suction cups 4222. The second rotating portion 4221 is connected to the third driving member 421. The plurality of third suction cups 4222 are disposed below the second rotating portion 4221. The third driving member 421 drives the second rotating portion 4221 to rotate, so that the third suction cups 4222 contact the second material 320 to absorb the second material 320, and the loading cantilever 42 drives the second material 320 to move. Among them, the third suction cups 4222 disposed along the first direction are used to absorb the same second material 320, so as to increase the stability of the second gripping member 422 in grasping the second material 320. The third suction cups 4222 disposed at intervals along the second direction can absorb different second materials 320. At least two third suction cups 4222 are disposed at intervals along the second direction, so as to absorb at least two second materials 320 at the same time.

[0131] In some embodiments, the loading cantilever 42 also includes two second positioning members 423, and the two second positioning members 423 are distributed with equal radius around the rotation axis of the third driving member 421, that is, the two second positioning members 423 are at the same straight-line distance from the rotation axis of the third driving member 421. The second positioning members 423 are used to position the second grabbing member 422. When the second grabbing member 422 moves to abut against one second positioning member 423, the second grabbing member 422 can grab the second material 320 provided by the loading component 41. When the second grabbing member 422 moves to abut against another second positioning member 423, the second grabbing member 422 can place the second material 320 grabbed from the loading component 41 into the first component 210.

[0132] In some embodiments, the material exchange device 100 further includes a cleaning module 60, which is disposed on one side of the positioning module 10 and is used to spray gas to clean the fixture 200 in the positioning module 10. The cleaning module 60 is a high-pressure nozzle, which is used to spray high-pressure gas toward the positioning module 10, and the cleaning module 60 can rotate relative to the positioning module 10 so as to clean the debris of the fixture 200 in the positioning module 10 from multiple angles.

[0133] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the disassembly and assembly clamping assembly 22 further includes a fourth driving member 223, a transmission member 224 and two universal joints 225. The fourth driving member 223 is connected to one end of the transmission member 224 via a universal joint 225, and the disassembly and assembly clamping tool 222 is connected to the other end of the transmission member 224 via another universal joint 225. The fourth driving member 223 is used to drive the disassembly and assembly clamping tool 222 to rotate, so that the disassembly and assembly clamping tool 222 drives the third component 230 to rotate, thereby disassembling and assembling the first component 210 and the second component 220.

[0134] Since the spacing between the four third components 230, the four fifth components 250, and the third component 230 and the fourth component 240 is small, and the size of the fourth driving member 223 is large, it is impossible to install multiple fourth driving members 223 in a limited area to drive multiple disassembly and assembly tools 222 to rotate respectively. Therefore, the torque of the fourth driving member 223 is transmitted to the disassembly and assembly tool 222 through the transmission member 224 and the universal joint 225, and the space between the fourth driving member 223 and the main body 221 is fully utilized, so that multiple fourth driving members 223 can be installed in a limited area, which is convenient for driving multiple disassembly and assembly tools 222 to rotate at the same time, thereby disassembling and assembling the third component 230 and the fifth component 250 at the same time, which greatly improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the fixture 200, and can more efficiently complete the exchange of the first material 310 and the second material 320.

[0135] See also Figure 1The material exchange device 100 further includes a support frame 70 and a support platform 80. The support frame 70 is used to install the positioning module 10, the disassembly and assembly clamping module 20, the ejection module 30, the unloading module 50, the loading module 40 and the cleaning module 60. The support platforms 80 are arranged on both sides of the support frame 70, one support platform 80 is used to place the second material 320, and the other support platform 80 is used to place the first material 310.

[0136] When the material exchange device 100 is in operation:

[0137] Disassembly of the first material 310 : firstly, the jig 200 with the first material 310 installed is installed on the positioning module 10 .

[0138] Then, the disassembly and assembly clamping assembly 22 and the adsorption assembly 2212 are driven to move downward at the same time by the moving assembly 21, so that the body 221 abuts against the fixture 200, and part of the disassembly and assembly clamping tool 222 passes through the magnetic attraction member 2214 and the channel 2213 and acts on the third component 230, and the other part of the disassembly and assembly clamping tool 222 passes through the body 221 and acts on the fifth component 250. At this time, the second component 220 is located in the receiving groove 2211. The disassembly and assembly clamping tool 222 is driven to rotate by the fourth driving member 223, so that the third component 230 and the fifth component 250 are rotated relative to the first component 210, so as to release the connection between the second component 220 and the first component 210, and also release the connection between the fourth component 240 and the first component 210.

[0139] Then, the first driving member 31 of the ejection module 30 drives the ejector pin 32 to move toward the positioning module 10, so that the ejector pin 32 moves upward, and a part of the third component 230 is pushed into the channel 2213. At this time, the third component 230 is attracted by the magnetic member 2214, and the second component 220 is attracted by the first suction cup 22121 in the receiving groove 2211. The disassembly and assembly clamping assembly 22 and the adsorption assembly 2212 are driven to move upward at the same time by the moving assembly 21, so that the second component 220 and the third component 230 leave the first component 210 to expose the first material 310; the second clamping member 12 moves away from the fourth component 240, so that the first positioning surface 21011 and the second positioning surface 241 can release the first material 310.

[0140] Finally, the first grabbing member 522 is driven to move by the second driving member 521 of the unloading module 50, so that the first grabbing member 522 grabs the first material 310 that is exposed and released by the first positioning surface 21011 and the second positioning surface 241, and transfers the first material 310 to the inclined hopper 51, thereby unloading the first material 310. At this time, the first component 210 exposes the position of the original first material 310.

[0141] Clamping of the second material 320: After the unloading module 50 transfers the first material 310, the third driving member 421 of the loading module 40 drives the second grabbing member 422 to grab the second material 320 on the loading tray 412, and transfers the second material 320 to the exposed position after the first component 210 takes away the first material 310, so that the first material 310 connected to the first component 210 is exchanged for the second material 320.

[0142] Then, the second clamp 12 is moved close to the fourth component 240 , so that the first positioning surface 21011 and the second positioning surface 241 can clamp the second material 320 to position the second material 320 .

[0143] The disassembly and assembly clamp assembly 22 and the adsorption assembly 2212 are driven to move downward simultaneously by the moving assembly 21, so that the third component 230 adsorbed by the magnetic attraction component 2214 is aligned with the connecting hole on the first component 210, and part of the disassembly and assembly clamp tool 222 acts on the third component 230, and the other part of the disassembly and assembly clamp tool 222 acts on the fifth component 250.

[0144] Finally, the fourth driving member 223 drives the disassembly and assembly clamping tool 222 to rotate, so that the third component 230 rotates relative to the first component 210, and the lower end of the third component 230 passes through the second component 220 and gradually enters the connection hole, so that the third component 230 is reconnected to the first component 210, and the third component 230 presses the second component 220 against the second material 320; the fourth driving member 223 drives the disassembly and assembly clamping tool 222 to rotate, and also rotates the fifth component 250 relative to the first component 210, so that the fourth component 240 is reconnected to the first component 210. The exchange of the first material 310 and the second material 320 on the fixture 200 is completed.

[0145] The material exchange device 100 can automatically replace the first material 310 and the second material 320 on the jig 200, with a high degree of automation. Compared with manual replacement of the first material 310 and the second material 320 on the jig 200 by staff, the replacement efficiency is higher.
