[0039] See also Figure 1 The material unloading mechanism comprises a turntable 100, a material loading assembly 200 and a material unloading assembly 300. The material loading assembly 200 is arranged on the turntable 100, and the material loading assembly 200 is used to carry the workpiece. The turntable 100 is used to drive the material loading assembly 200 and the workpiece on the material loading assembly 200 to move in the circumferential direction. The material unloading assembly 300 is used to receive the workpiece unloaded by the material loading assembly 200.

[0040] Furthermore, the material carrier assembly 200 is disposed on the turntable 100, and one end of the material carrier assembly 200 is a clamping end, and the clamping end is located outside the turntable 100, and the clamping end is used to clamp or release the workpiece. When the clamping end clamps the workpiece, the workpiece is fixed to the material carrier assembly 200; when the clamping end releases the workpiece, the workpiece can be separated from the clamping end under the action of gravity, that is, the workpiece is unloaded from the material carrier assembly 200.

[0041] See also Figure 2 The unloading assembly 300 includes a material box 310 and a first displacement structure 340. The material box 310 is located on the peripheral side of the turntable 100. The material box 310 is provided with a first material port 320 and a second material port 330. The first displacement structure 340 is drivingly connected to the material box 310 so that the first material port 320 or the second material port 330 can be located below the clamping end to receive the workpiece detached from the clamping end.

[0042] When unloading, the turntable 100 can drive the workpiece to rotate in the circumferential direction to the area where the material box 310 is located through the loading assembly 200. The first displacement structure 340 can drive the first material port 320 or the second material port 330 of the material box 310 to move to the bottom of the clamping end of the loading assembly 200 according to whether the workpiece is a finished material or a waste material. When the first material port 320 or the second material port 330 is located below the clamping end, the clamping end releases the workpiece, and the workpiece can fall into the first material port 320 or the second material port 330 under the action of gravity, thereby realizing the unloading of the workpiece.

[0043] For example, the first material opening 320 can be used to receive finished workpieces, and the second material opening 330 can be used to receive scrap workpieces. When the workpiece clamped by the clamping end of the material carrier assembly 200 is a finished workpiece, the first displacement structure 340 can move the first material opening 320 to the bottom of the clamping end by driving the material box 310, and when the clamping end releases the workpiece, the workpiece can fall into the first material opening 320 under the action of gravity. When the workpiece clamped by the clamping end of the material carrier assembly 200 is a scrap workpiece, the first displacement structure 340 can move the second material opening 330 to the bottom of the clamping end by driving the material box 310, and when the clamping end releases the workpiece, the workpiece can fall into the second material opening 330 under the action of gravity.

[0044] It can be seen that in the present application, after the turntable 100 transfers the workpiece to the area where the material box 310 is located through the material loading assembly 200, the first displacement structure 340 can drive the first material opening 320 or the second material opening 330 of the material box 310 to move to the bottom of the clamping end of the material loading assembly 200 according to whether the workpiece is waste material or finished material. After the clamping end of the material loading assembly 200 releases the workpiece, the workpiece can fall into the corresponding first material opening 320 or second material opening 330 under the action of gravity, thereby realizing the unloading of the workpiece. This method can set the material box 310 with the first material opening 320 and the second material opening 330 at one station, so as to avoid the material box 310 occupying too much space of the processing equipment.

[0045] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the material box 310 may include a first box body 311 and a second box body 312, the first box body 311 is provided with a first material port 320, the second box body 312 is provided with a second material port 330, and the first displacement structure 340 is drivingly connected to the first box body 311 and the second box body 312 respectively. In this way, the first material port 320 and the second material port 330 are respectively provided on the two boxes, so that when the first material port 320 receives a finished workpiece and the second material port 330 receives a waste workpiece, the first box body 311 for receiving the finished workpiece is often faster than the second box body 312 for receiving the waste workpiece, so dividing the material box 310 into the first box body 311 and the second box body 312 can facilitate the unloading of the workpieces received by each box separately.

[0046] Furthermore, in order to facilitate unloading of the first material box 310 and the second material box 310, the unloading assembly 300 may also include a mounting seat 350, on which a first positioning groove 351 and a second positioning groove 352 are provided, the first box body 311 is located in the first positioning groove 351, the second box body 312 is located in the second positioning groove 352, and the first displacement structure 340 is drivingly connected to the mounting seat 350.

[0047] Specifically, the first displacement structure 340 drives the mounting seat 350 to respectively drive the first box 311 and the second box 312 to move, so that the first material opening 320 of the first box 311 or the second material opening 330 of the second box 312 can be located below the clamping end of the material carrier assembly 200. The first displacement structure 340 can be a linear drive structure such as a screw drive device or a linear cylinder.

[0048] In addition, the first positioning groove 351 can position and limit the first box body 311, and the second positioning groove 352 can position and limit the second box body 312. In this way, when the mounting seat 350 moves under the action of the first displacement structure 340, the first box body 311 and the second box body 312 can be prevented from displacement.

[0049] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, a first guide plate 360 ​​may be provided at one end of the first material opening 320 close to the second material opening 330, and an end of the first guide plate 360 ​​away from the second material opening 330 gradually tilts downward. The first guide plate 360 ​​can guide the workpiece when it falls from the clamping end, so that the workpiece can accurately enter the first box body 311 where the first material opening 320 is located, and prevent the workpiece from falling into the second material opening 330 due to various reasons.

[0050] A second guide plate 370 may be provided at one end of the second material opening 330 close to the first material opening 320, and the second guide plate 370 is gradually inclined downward at one end away from the first material opening 320. The second guide plate 370 can guide the workpiece when it falls from the clamping end, so that the workpiece can accurately enter the second box body 312 where the second material opening 330 is located, and prevent the workpiece from falling into the first material opening 320 due to various reasons.

[0051] Preferably, the first material opening 320 and the second material opening 330 may be arranged in a direction tangential to the circumferential direction of the turntable 100, and the first displacement structure 340 drives the material box 310 to move in a direction tangential to the circumferential direction of the turntable 100. This method can facilitate the first displacement structure 340 to drive the first material opening 320 or the second material opening 330 to move below the clamping end, and can also prevent the material box 310 from interfering with the turntable 100 during the movement.

[0052] Specifically, when the first displacement structure 340 drives the material box 310 to move in a direction tangential to the circumferential direction of the turntable 100, the first material port 320 and the second material port 330 can also move in a direction tangential to the circumferential direction of the turntable 100. When the first material port 320 and the second material port 330 move back and forth in a direction tangential to the circumferential direction of the turntable 100, the first material port 320 or the second material port 330 can be moved to below the clamping end.

[0053] In some embodiments, when the material box 310 includes a first box body 311 and a second box body 312 , the first displacement structure 340 can simultaneously drive the first box body 311 and the second box body 312 to move in a direction tangential to the circumferential direction of the turntable 100 through the mounting seat 350 .

[0054] See also Figure 1 The unloading mechanism may further include a detection component 400, which is disposed above the carrier component 200 and on the moving path of the carrier component 200. The detection component 400 is used to detect the workpiece on the clamping end. The detection component 400 detects the workpiece to determine whether the workpiece is waste.

[0055] Specifically, when the turntable 100 drives the workpiece to move to the bottom of the detection component 400 through the loading component 200, the detection component 400 detects the workpiece to determine whether the workpiece is waste. For example, when the workpiece is determined to be a finished product, the first displacement structure 340 can drive the first material port 320 to move to the bottom of the clamping end. After the clamping end releases the workpiece, the workpiece can fall into the first material port 320.

[0056] In addition, it should be noted that see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the detection component 400 and the unloading component 300 can be set on the same workstation. In this way, after the detection component 400 detects the workpiece at the clamping end, the turntable 100 no longer needs to drive the workpiece to move through the loading component 200. After the first displacement structure 340 moves the first material port 320 or the second material port 330 to the bottom of the clamping end according to the detection result, the clamping end releases the workpiece to realize the unloading of the workpiece, thereby improving the efficiency of unloading the workpiece.

[0057] In other embodiments, the detection component 400 and the unloading component 300 may also be arranged at different workstations. In this way, after the turntable 100 drives the workpiece to move to the bottom of the detection component 400 for detection through the loading component 200, the turntable 100 then drives the workpiece to move to the area where the unloading component 300 is located through the loading component 200, and unloads the workpiece onto the unloading component 300.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the detection component 400 to detect the workpiece, the processed portion of the workpiece is exposed at the clamping end in the radial direction of the turntable 100, and the detection component 400 detects the processed portion of the workpiece exposed at the clamping end to determine whether the workpiece is waste.

[0059] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 The unloading mechanism may further include a background component 500, which provides a background for the workpiece when the detection component 400 detects the workpiece, so as to improve the detection accuracy of the detection component 400 on the workpiece.

[0060] Specifically, the background component 500 may include a background piece 510, which is arranged opposite to the detection component 400, and when the workpiece moves to the bottom of the detection component 400 along with the turntable 100, the background piece 510 can be located below the workpiece. When the detection component 400 detects the workpiece, the background piece 510 can provide a background for the workpiece to avoid the structure below the workpiece from affecting the detection result.

[0061] In some embodiments, the detection component 400 may be disposed above the unloading component 300 to improve the unloading efficiency after the workpiece is detected.

[0062] The background assembly 500 may further include a second displacement structure 520 , which is drivingly connected to the background member 510 , so that the background member 510 can be located below the workpiece or away from below the workpiece.

[0063] Specifically, when the detection component 400 needs to detect the workpiece, the second displacement structure 520 can drive the background piece 510 to move to the bottom of the workpiece. When the workpiece detection is completed, the second displacement structure 520 can drive the background piece 510 away from the bottom of the workpiece, so that after the clamping end releases the workpiece, the workpiece can fall into the first material port 320 or the second material port 330.

[0064] The second displacement structure 520 can drive the background member 510 to move along the radial direction of the turntable 100. The second displacement structure 520 can be a cylinder, a linear motor or a screw drive structure.

[0065] See also Figure 4 , the detection assembly 400 may include a detection camera 410 and a first detection driver 420, the detection camera 410 is arranged opposite to the background member 510, and the first detection driver 420 is connected to the detection camera 410 to drive the detection camera 410 to approach the workpiece in the vertical direction to accurately detect the workpiece. Among them, the detection camera 410 can be a CCD camera, and the first detection driver 420 can be a cylinder, a linear motor or a screw drive structure.

[0066] The detection assembly 400 may further include a second detection driver 430, which is connected to the detection camera 410 to drive the detection camera 410 to accurately locate above the workpiece. The second detection driver 430 may be a cylinder, a linear motor or a screw drive structure.

[0067] See also Figure 3 The material carrier assembly 200 may include a rotary drive member 210 and a clamping member 220. The rotary drive member 210 is disposed on the turntable 100. The rotary drive member 210 is drivingly connected to the clamping member 220. The clamping member 220 forms a clamping end of the material carrier assembly 200. The clamping member 220 is used to clamp or release a workpiece. The clamping member 220 may be a clamping claw.

[0068] It is understandable that when the clamping member 220 clamps the workpiece, the turntable 100 can drive the workpiece to move by rotating the driving member 210 and the clamping member 220, for example, it can be moved to a processing station for processing or moved to the unloading assembly 300 for unloading.

[0069] When the workpiece is moved to the unloading assembly 300 , the clamping member 220 can release the workpiece, and the workpiece is separated from the clamping member 220 under the action of gravity to achieve unloading.

[0070] In addition, the rotary drive member 210 can drive the workpiece to rotate through the clamping member 220. When the workpiece rotates, it is beneficial to process the workpiece and to detect the workpiece. The rotary drive member 210 can be a rotary motor or a rotary cylinder.

[0071] In addition, the present application also provides a processing device, including a laser and the unloading mechanism in the above embodiment, the laser is arranged above the carrier assembly 200 and located on the moving path of the carrier assembly 200, and the laser is used to process the workpiece on the carrier assembly 200.

[0072] For example, in some embodiments, the processing portion of the workpiece is exposed at the clamping end of the carrier assembly 200, so that the laser can process the workpiece exposed at the clamping end.

[0073] In particular, when the material carrier assembly 200 includes a rotating driving component 210 and a clamping component 220, the clamping component 220 can clamp a non-processing portion of the workpiece, such as clamping one end of the workpiece, and the laser can process the processing portion exposed to the clamping component 220. When the laser processes the workpiece, the rotating driving component 210 can drive the workpiece to rotate through the clamping component 220.

[0074] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of some applications should be included in the protection scope of some applications.
