[0052] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a material loading and unloading device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of a material picking and placing device 100 from another angle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the material picking and placing device 100 of the present disclosure may include components such as a frame 110 , a driving device 120 , a turning mechanism 130 , and a holding device 140 .

[0054] When in use, the frame 110 can be fixed to other components, so that the material picking and placing device 100 of the present disclosure is fixed in a suitable position.

[0055] The driving device 120 is disposed on the frame 110 to provide driving force; in one embodiment, the driving device 120 may be a motor.

[0056] The flipping mechanism 130 is rotatably disposed on the frame 110 , and the driving device 120 is used to drive the flipping mechanism 130 to move.

[0057] In one embodiment, the flip mechanism 130 includes: a first rotating shaft 131 , a second rotating shaft 132 , a first mounting plate 133 , a second mounting plate 134 and a rotating rod 135 .

[0058] The first rotating shaft 131 is transmission-connected to the driving device 120 and rotatably disposed on the frame 110 ; specifically, the motor may be transmission-connected to the first rotating shaft 131 via a coupling.

[0059] Meanwhile, a bearing hole is opened on the frame 110 , and a bearing is arranged in the bearing hole. The first rotating shaft 131 is rotatably supported on the frame 110 through the bearing.

[0060] The second rotating shaft 132 is coaxially arranged with the first rotating shaft 131, and the second rotating shaft 132 is rotatably arranged on the frame 110; in one embodiment, the first rotating shaft 131 and the second rotating shaft 132 can be two parts, or two ends of the same part. In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the first rotating shaft 131 and the second rotating shaft 132 are two parts.

[0061] Similarly, a bearing hole is formed on the frame 110 , a bearing is disposed in the bearing hole, and the second rotating shaft 132 is rotatably supported on the frame 110 through the bearing.

[0062] The first mounting plate 133 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 131; the second mounting plate 134 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 132, and the second mounting plate 134 is spaced apart from the first mounting plate 133. In the present disclosure, the first mounting plate 133 and the second mounting plate 134 may have the same structure, and their structures may be determined according to the number of rotating rods 135. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the number of the rotating rods 135 is 3, and accordingly, the shapes of the first mounting plate 133 and the second mounting plate 134 can be triangles (equilateral triangles). For another example, when the number of the rotating rods 135 is four, the shapes of the first mounting plate 133 and the second mounting plate 134 can be quadrilaterals (squares), etc.; and the rotating rods 135 are respectively located at the corners of the first mounting plate 133 and the second mounting plate 134.

[0063] The rotating rod 135 is rotatably disposed on the first mounting plate 133 and the second mounting plate 134; preferably, the rotating rod 135 is provided with more than two, for example Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the present disclosure, the number of the rotating rods 135 can be changed according to the number of workstations.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, the rotation axis of the rotating rod 135 is spaced apart from the rotation axis of the first rotating shaft 131 , so that the rotating rod 135 can reach each workstation.

[0065] A driving wheel 136 is rotatably provided on the second rotating shaft 132, and a driven wheel 137 is provided on the rotating rod 135. The driving wheel 136 is transmission-connected with the driven wheel 137, wherein the driving wheel 136 is fixedly connected with the frame 110 via a connecting member 139. Preferably, the connecting member 139 is formed as a cylindrical member, and the connecting member 139 is sleeved on the outside of the second rotating shaft 132, with one axial end thereof fixedly connected to the frame 110, and the other axial end thereof fixedly connected to one axial end of the driving wheel 136.

[0066] When there are multiple rotating rods 135, the driven wheels 137 installed on the rotating rods 135 are arranged around the rotating rods 135, that is, the driving wheel 136 is arranged in the central area, and the driven wheel 137 is arranged in the edge area.

[0067] The driving wheel 136 and the driven wheel 137 can be synchronous pulleys, and accordingly, the driving wheel 136 and the driven wheel 137 can be connected by a synchronous belt. Therefore, when the flipping mechanism 130 is driven to rotate, since the driving wheel 136 does not rotate, correspondingly, different areas of the synchronous belt will contact the driving wheel 136, thereby relative to the driving wheel 136, the position of the synchronous belt will change, and thereby the driven wheel 137 is driven to rotate by the synchronous belt.

[0068] In the present disclosure, the material picking and placing device 100 further includes an idler wheel 138 rotatably disposed on the second mounting plate 134 , and enables a transmission belt (synchronous belt) between two driven wheels 137 to mesh with the driving wheel 136 .

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the position of the idler wheel 138 on the second mounting plate 134 is adjustable, so that the idler wheel 138 can also function as a tension wheel. Specifically, a long strip hole is provided on the second mounting plate 134, and the axle on which the idler wheel 138 is mounted can slide in the long strip hole. After the position of the idler wheel 138 is adjusted, the axle is fixed to the second mounting plate 134. At this time, the idler wheel 138 can be rotatably arranged on the axle.

[0070] More preferably, two idler wheels 138 are provided between two adjacent rotating rods 135, and the two idler wheels 138 are respectively located on the upstream side and the downstream side of the driving wheel 136, so that the synchronous belt between the two idler wheels 138 and the driving wheel 136 can have a larger contact area, and accordingly the entire transmission system works more stably.

[0071] In the present disclosure, the holding device 140 is disposed on the flipping mechanism 130 and moves with the flipping mechanism 130 , so that the material can be taken and placed through the holding device 140 .

[0072] More specifically, the holding device 140 is disposed on the rotating rod 135 , and the holding device 140 can not only revolve with the flipping mechanism 130 , but also rotate with the rotating rod 135 , and accordingly, the holding device 140 can be driven to a preset posture.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the holding device 140 of the present disclosure includes a suction cup, and the material is sucked by the suction cup. In one embodiment, the rotating rod 135 can be a hollow rod, so that negative pressure can be provided to the holding device 140 through the rotating rod 135.

[0074] In the present disclosure, a gas flow path is provided on the second rotating shaft 132, and accordingly, a gas flow path is also provided on the second mounting plate 134. Accordingly, the gas flow path on the second rotating shaft 132 can be connected to the gas flow path on the rotating rod 135 through the gas flow path on the second mounting plate 134, and further, when negative pressure is provided to the second rotating shaft 132, the negative pressure can be applied to the retaining device.

It has strong transformability and can change the picking and placing positions as needed. It has strong commonality. At the same time, the motor can move continuously, the action is efficient, and the equipment production rhythm is saved. Moreover, by controlling the vacuum solenoid valve, it is possible to quickly pick and place materials, and the picking and placing actions of three positions of a single workstation can be realized simply and conveniently. The picking and placing positions are adjustable, and it has strong adaptability to multiple workstations.

[0076] The material picking and placing device can match the production rhythm of the front and rear docking stations according to the production rhythm requirements of the front and rear stations by only controlling the motor speed. It is suitable for various fast and slow automation equipment and is easy to control.

[0077] The material disclosed herein may be a packaging box, a packaging bag or a packaging sticker, etc., and has a wide range of uses, and can realize mass production of standard modules for equipment in similar directions.
