Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0014] In the present utility model embodiment, combined with reference Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the mechanism provided for lifting and rotating and delivering downstream materials includes: a rotating module 100, a clamping module 200, and a platform module 300; the rotating module 100 is connected to the platform module 300 to rotate the materials;

[0015] The clamping module 200 is connected to the platform module 300 , and includes a clamping assembly 201 and a suction cup assembly 202 . The suction cup assembly 202 is used to suck and fix the plane end of the material, and the clamping assembly 201 is used to fix the side end surface of the material.

[0016] During the specific implementation of the present application, the driving end of the rotating module 100 is fixed to the platform module 300, and the platform module is fixed to the clamping module 200. During operation, the platform module 300 is arranged in the middle of the entire device, and the overall shape is a flat rectangular parallelepiped. One side of the material is flat, and the other side is an irregular surface. The center position of the material and the platform module are the same. The suction cup assembly 202 first fixes the material from the upper plane end, and the clamping assembly then moves to fix the material from the side end face. The suction cup assembly of the present application is used to absorb and fix the plane end of the material, which is a vertical fixation, and the clamping assembly is used to clamp and fix the two ends of the material, which is a horizontal fixation. Through the combined use of the suction cup assembly and the clamping assembly, when the driving end of the rotating module 100 rotates around the rotating axis, it drives the platform module, the clamping module, and the material to rotate at the same time, ensuring that the product is firmly held and will not be thrown out or dropped during rotation.

[0017] Specifically, the rotating module 100 includes a motor and a reducer; the motor drives the platform module to rotate around a rotating shaft.

[0018] Combined with reference Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a lifting module 400 fixedly connected to the rotating module 100, and the lifting module 400 includes: a first driving member 401 and a lifting assembly 402; the lifting assembly 402 is connected to the first driving member 401, and is driven by the first driving member 401 to move in the vertical direction. In the specific implementation of this application, the first driving member 401 uses a motor as a power source to drive the lifting assembly 402 to rise and fall. The motor is only one embodiment of this application. The power source that enables the lifting assembly to perform the lifting action is within the protection scope of this application, such as a cylinder, an electric slide, etc.

[0019] Specifically, the lifting module 400 also includes a position detector and a first connecting component. The first connecting component is used to connect the rotating module 100, so that the first driving member 401 drives the first connecting component to drive the rotating module to perform lifting and lowering movements. In specific implementation, the first driving member 401 first moves downward, the suction cup assembly 202 first fixes the material from the upper plane end, and the clamping assembly then moves to fix the material from the side end surface. The first driving member 401 then moves upward, and the rotating module 100 starts to work to rotate the material 180°. In the LCD / OLED panel display manufacturing process, there will be OK and NG products after being inspected by the AOI station. The OK and NG products will be distinguished before flowing to the downstream process. This application is designed for functional use based on the appearance characteristics of the panel product. The product is rotated 180° before the NG product is discharged. When the panel surface is discharged, it is placed on the belt line with the panel surface facing downward and transported out smoothly. If it is not rotated, it will be directly transported according to the appearance characteristics of the product, which will cause instability, and the product may fall and be damaged and cause confusion.

[0020] In a specific implementation of the present application, at least two detectors are provided, and the detectors are provided on the side surfaces of the first driving member, and the distance between them is the lifting distance of the first driving member.

[0021] Combined with reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it also includes an adjustment module 500, which includes a first adjustment component 501 and a second adjustment component 502.

When in use, the quick release handle is opened to allow the positioning block to move to the desired position in the adjusting slot, and then the quick release handle is locked. In the specific implementation of the present application, the quick release handle is only one form of expression of the present embodiment, and structures that enable the fixing assembly and the adjusting member to complete the locking and loosening functions are all within the protection scope of the present application.

[0024] There are two first adjustment components 501 , which are relatively arranged on both sides of the platform module 300 . The adjustment modules 501 adjust the position of the clamping component 201 .

[0025] Specifically, a ruler 513 is also provided on the fixed component 503. When the two first adjustment components are used to adjust the position of the clamping component, the adjustment position of the clamping component can be accurately adjusted to ensure that the adjustment scales of the two first adjustment components are the same. Since the center position of the material and the platform module is the same, the running distance of the two clamping components during work is kept consistent, ensuring that the clamping force of the two clamping components when clamping the material is the same, and the rotating module drives the clamping component and the material to not fall off or be thrown out during rotation.

[0026] Combined with reference Figure 2 As shown, the clamping assembly 201 includes: a second driving member 203, a clamping plate 204 and a clamping claw 205;

[0027] The second driving member 203 includes a transmission connection to the platform module 300 , a transmission portion of the second driving member 203 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 204 , and a lower end of the clamping plate 204 is fixedly connected to the clamping claw 205 .

[0028] Specifically, the inner side of the clamping jaw 205 is also provided with an anti-slip block 206, which is made of anti-slip material. In specific implementation, it can be made of elastic material, which plays a certain buffering role when the clamping jaw clamps the material to ensure the safety of the material; a groove can also be provided on the anti-slip block, and the size and shape of the groove match the size and shape of the side end face of the material.

[0029] Combined with reference Figure 1 As shown, there are two clamping assemblies 201 which are arranged on both sides of the platform module 300. The transmission part of the second driving member 203 drives the two clamping plates 204 and the clamping claws 205 to move closer or farther away.

[0030] Combined with reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the second adjustment component 502 includes a limit plate 506, and the four corners of the limit plate 506 are provided with long limit holes 507 inclined toward the center thereof for installing and adjusting the suction cup assembly 202. The limit plate 506 is also provided with an avoidance opening for the clamping assembly 201 to approach inward.

[0031] Specifically, the limiting plate 506 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the platform module 300 via a connecting rod 508 .

[0033] Specifically, a plurality of vacuum suction cups 207 are disposed near the center of the limiting plate 506 .

[0034] It also includes a detection module for detecting whether the clamping module 200 clamps the material.

[0035] Combined with reference Figure 3 As shown, an over-pressure protection module 600 is also included, which is used to detect whether the descending position of the lifting module 400 is over-pressured.

[0036] Specifically, the overpressure protection module 600 includes a pressure device 601 and a touch assembly 602. The pressure device 601 is arranged on the lower end surface of the platform module 100. The touch assembly 602 includes a touch rod 603, a touch head 604 and a spring 605. A through hole is arranged on the limit plate. The touch head is installed at the lower end of the touch rod. The upper end of the touch rod corresponds to the pressure device, and a touch distance is arranged between the pressure device. A spring is installed on the touch rod between the limit plate and the touch head. The touch rod is fixed by a clamp after passing through. In specific implementation, when the first driving member drives the platform module, the clamping assembly and the suction cup assembly to move downward, when the touch head contacts the material and does not contact the pressure device, it is a safe distance, and the suction cup assembly and the clamping assembly can safely absorb and clamp the material; when the touch head contacts the material, the touch rod contacts the pressure device and an alarm is sounded, and the first driving member stops moving downward to ensure the safety of the material.

[0037] This structural method is highly practical in conventional designs. The application components used in the structure are all mature components, and the installation and debugging are not complicated and the cost is not high. This solution minimizes the size of the overall structure through modular and integrated structural design, reduces the cumulative error caused by component processing, and improves the accuracy, structural rigidity and stability of the overall structure, thereby ensuring the lighting success rate of the product crimping test, while reducing production costs and facilitating installation, debugging and maintenance.
