Description

Technical Field

[0002] For some products with smaller thickness and larger processing surface, such as cover blocks, they often need to be processed flat. However, when they are to be stored after processing, they need to be placed vertically in containers such as baskets to avoid squeezing damage due to pressure.

[0003] In the past, it was often necessary to manually rotate the product to change it from a horizontal position to a vertical position, but manual rotation of the workpiece is not efficient and can easily damage the product. Now, most products are rotated by relying on a robot.

[0004] However, on the one hand, many products are actually placed in containers, and they need to be taken out before they can be rotated and processed.

The conveying end point of the upper conveying device 51 is located directly above the lower conveying device 52, and relying on the sixth lifting device 55, the second container 502 can also be conveyed to the discharge position of the manipulator structure 4. The container conversion mechanism 5 can move the first container 501 and the second container 502 so that the first container 501 and the second container 502 are alternately moved to the discharge position of the manipulator structure 4.

[0037] When the utility model is in use, the processed products can be placed flat on the tray, and the above tray can be transported from the first conveying device 13 to the silo 11, and then transported to the first lifting device 15. The first lifting device 15 can lift the tray with the product to the top of the silo 11. At this time, the tray moving device 17 works. Relying on the actions of the first transfer device 172 and the third lifting device 173, the tray vacuum suction cup 171 can first move to the top of the silo 11, vacuum the tray located at the top of the silo 11, and then move to the top of the tray silo 12 and lose the vacuum to place the above tray on the second lifting device 16.

[0038] At this time, the conveying mechanism 2 is working, and relying on the work of the second transfer device 22 and the fourth lifting device 23, the product vacuum suction cup 21 can move to the top of the tray bin 12 to vacuum the product on the tray on the second lifting device 16, and then move it to the product tray 31 of the loading mechanism 3 and lose the vacuum to place the product on the product tray 31.

At this time, the clamp 41 releases its grip on the product, and the product can be placed in the first container 501. As the above process is repeated until the first container 501 is full, the upper conveying device 51 can move the first container 501 away from the discharge position, and the lower conveying device 52 can move the second container 502 to the discharge position, and then the second container 502 is lifted to the discharge position by the sixth lifting device 55, and the first container 501 filled with products is loaded by the second container 502.
