For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, in the photovoltaic automation manufacturing process, there is a process of installing a pressure rod 20 on the flower basket 10 after placing the silicon wafers in the flower basket 10 to prevent the silicon wafers from falling from the flower basket 10. In the traditional way, the flower basket 10 full of silicon wafers is first transported to a preset position by a transport device, and then the pressure rod 20 is transported to the top of the flower basket 10 by another transport device, and finally the pressure rod 20 is installed in the card slot 12 of the flower basket 10 to achieve the position limiting of the silicon wafers by the pressure rod 20 to prevent the silicon wafers from falling from the flower basket 10. In this way, at least two transport devices are required, which will undoubtedly increase the occupied space. In addition, the cost of the two transport devices is also relatively high.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a device for transporting a flower basket and a pressure rod, including a robot 100 and a clamping mechanism 200 .

[0033] The robot arm 100 is a transporting body, which can drive the clamping mechanism 200 to move to different positions.

[0034] Specifically, the robot 100 can drive the clamping mechanism 200 to move up, down, left, and right in space, and the robot 100 can also drive the clamping mechanism 200 to rotate.

[0035] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 The clamping mechanism 200 is connected to the manipulator 100, and the clamping mechanism 200 includes a mounting frame 210, a flower basket clamping assembly 220 and a pressure rod clamping assembly 230. The mounting frame 210 is connected to the manipulator 100, the flower basket clamping assembly 220 is connected below the mounting frame 210, and the pressure rod clamping assembly 230 is connected to the side of the mounting frame 210.

[0036] Specifically, a connecting seat 211 is provided on the mounting frame 210, and the manipulator 100 is connected to the connecting seat 211; the flower basket clamping assembly 220 is used to clamp the flower basket 10, and the pressure rod clamping assembly 230 is used to clamp the pressure rod 20; the flower basket clamping assembly 220 is connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 210, and the pressure rod clamping assembly 230 is connected to the side of the mounting frame 210, so that when the flower basket clamping assembly 220 clamps the flower basket 10, the pressure rod clamping assembly 230 will not interfere with the flower basket 10, and when the pressure rod clamping assembly 230 clamps the pressure rod 20, the flower basket clamping assembly 220 will not interfere with the pressure rod 20.

[0037] When the flower basket and pressure rod transport device of the present application is used, the manipulator 100 can first be used to move the clamping mechanism 200 to the flower basket waiting position, and then the flower basket clamping assembly 220 can be used to clamp the flower basket 10 full of silicon wafers, and then the manipulator 100 can be used to transport the flower basket 10 to the preset position, and then the manipulator 100 can move the clamping mechanism 200 to the pressure rod waiting position, and then the pressure rod clamping assembly 230 can be used to clamp the pressure rod 20, and then the manipulator 100 can move the pressure rod 20 to the top of the flower basket 10 located at the preset position, so that the pressure rod 20 can be installed on the flower basket 10. The flower basket and pressure rod transport device of the present application can realize the transport of both the flower basket 10 and the pressure rod 20. Compared with the traditional solution of using two transport devices to transport the flower basket 10 and the pressure rod 20 respectively, it occupies less space and has lower cost.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the flower basket clamping assembly 220 includes a driving unit 221 disposed on the mounting frame 210, and two flower basket clamping members 222 connected to the lower side of the mounting frame 210, the two flower basket clamping members 222 are opposite to each other and spaced apart, and the driving unit 221 is used to drive the two flower basket clamping members 222 to move closer to or apart from each other.

[0039] It can be understood that when the driving unit 221 drives the two flower basket clamping members 222 to approach each other, the flower basket 10 can be clamped, and when the driving unit 221 drives the two flower basket clamping members 222 to separate from each other, the flower basket 10 can be loosened.

[0040] In some embodiments, the driving unit 221 includes two cylinders, and the two cylinders are used to drive the two flower basket clamps 222 respectively. Under the action of the two cylinders, the two flower basket clamps 222 can be moved closer to or apart from each other.

[0041] In other embodiments, the driving unit 221 includes a cylinder. When the cylinder drives one of the flower basket clamping members 222 to move, the two flower basket clamping members 222 can also be moved closer or apart.

[0042] Of course, the specific structure of the driving unit 221 is not limited to a cylinder, and may also be other linear driving devices.

[0043] In some embodiments, a positioning column 2221 is disposed on a side of any flower basket clamping member 222 close to another flower basket clamping member 222 .

[0044] It can be understood that, for each flower basket clamping member 222 , a positioning column 2221 is disposed on a side thereof close to another flower basket clamping member 222 .

[0045] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 Specifically, the flower basket 10 includes two side panels, both of which are provided with positioning holes 11. When the flower basket clamp 222 clamps the flower basket 10, the positioning column 2221 is inserted into the positioning hole 11, so that the flower basket 10 can be hung to prevent the flower basket 10 from falling.

[0046] Furthermore, a plurality of spaced positioning posts 2221 are disposed on a side of any flower basket clamping piece 222 close to another flower basket clamping piece 222 .

[0047] It can be understood that a plurality of positioning holes 11 are provided on the side panels of the flower basket 10 at intervals, and a plurality of positioning posts 2221 on the flower basket clamp 222 can be inserted into the plurality of positioning holes 11 on the side panels of the flower basket 10. In this way, the hanging ability of the flower basket 10 can be further improved. In addition, the flower basket 10 can be prevented from rotating, thereby improving safety and reliability.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the device for transporting the flower basket and the pressure rod further includes a silicon wafer baffle 214 connected to the lower side of the mounting frame 210 and located between the two flower basket clamps 222 .

[0049] It is understandable that when the basket and pressure bar transport device transports the basket 10 fully loaded with silicon wafers and without the pressure bar 20 installed, the silicon wafer baffle 214 can limit the silicon wafers to prevent them from falling during the transport process.

[0050] The mounting frame 210 is connected to a first connecting plate 212, the silicon wafer baffle 214 is connected to a second connecting plate 213, and the second connecting plate 213 is height-adjustably connected to the first connecting plate 212. In this way, the height of the silicon wafer baffle 214 can be adjusted according to the height of the silicon wafer to ensure the limiting effect of the silicon wafer baffle 214.

[0051] Specifically, the first connecting plate 212 is provided with a plurality of assembly holes arranged at vertical intervals, and the second connecting plate 213 is provided with an assembly groove 2131 extending vertically, and the assembly groove 2131 corresponds to the assembly holes. The carrying device of the flower basket and the pressure rod also includes a fastener passed through the assembly groove 2131, and the fastener can be optionally passed through any assembly hole.

[0052] It is understandable that after the height of the second connecting plate 213 is adjusted, fasteners may be inserted into the assembly grooves 2131 and the corresponding assembly holes to fix the second connecting plate 213 .

[0053] Specifically, the fastener is a screw, and the assembly hole is a screw hole.

[0054] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the pressure rod clamping assembly 230 includes a slide cylinder 231 disposed on the mounting frame 210, and two pressure rod clamping members 232 disposed on the slide cylinder 231. The two pressure rod clamping members 232 are arranged in two pairs, and the slide cylinder 231 is used to drive the two pressure rod clamping members 232 to move closer to or apart from each other.

[0055] It can be understood that the slide cylinder 231 plays a guiding role on the pressure rod clamping piece 232, and the slide cylinder 231 also plays a driving role on the pressure rod clamping piece 232. When the slide cylinder 231 drives the two pressure rod clamping pieces 232 to approach each other, the pressure rod 20 can be clamped. When the slide cylinder 231 drives the two pressure rod clamping pieces 232 to separate from each other, the pressure rod 20 can be loosened.

[0056] A limiting groove 2321 is provided on one side of any pressure rod clamping piece 232 close to another pressure rod clamping piece 232 .

[0057] Specifically, for each pressure rod clamping piece 232, a limiting groove 2321 is provided on a side thereof close to another pressure rod clamping piece 232, and the pressure rod 20 can be limited in the limiting grooves 2321 of the two pressure rods 20 to avoid falling off.

[0058] Among them, the limiting groove 2321 is a V-shaped groove.

[0059] When the flower basket and pressure rod transport device of the present application is used, the manipulator 100 can first be used to move the clamping mechanism 200 to the flower basket waiting position, and then the flower basket clamping assembly 220 can be used to clamp the flower basket 10 full of silicon wafers, and then the manipulator 100 can be used to transport the flower basket 10 to the preset position, and then the manipulator 100 can move the clamping mechanism 200 to the pressure rod waiting position, and then the pressure rod clamping assembly 230 can be used to clamp the pressure rod 20, and then the manipulator 100 can move the pressure rod 20 to the top of the flower basket 10 located at the preset position, so that the pressure rod 20 can be installed on the flower basket 10. The flower basket and pressure rod transport device of the present application can realize the transport of both the flower basket 10 and the pressure rod 20. Compared with the traditional solution of using two transport devices to transport the flower basket 10 and the pressure rod 20 respectively, it occupies less space and has lower cost. In addition, the flower basket clamping assembly 220 is connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 210, and the pressure rod clamping assembly 230 is connected to the side of the mounting frame 210. In this way, when the flower basket clamping assembly 220 clamps the flower basket 10, the pressure rod clamping assembly 230 will not interfere with the flower basket 10, and when the pressure rod clamping assembly 230 clamps the pressure rod 20, the flower basket clamping assembly 220 will not interfere with the pressure rod 20.
