[0001] The present application relates to the field of material transfer, and in particular to an automatic disc changing device for automatically transferring materials. Background Art

[0002] In the PU (polyurethane, PU for short) dispensing process of mobile phones, the material trays used in different workstations have different specifications, and the products need to be replaced to adapt to different processing stations. That is, the product is transferred from one tray to another, and the specifications of the two trays are different. However, the current method of manual tray replacement is labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an automatic tray changing device for automatically transferring materials, so as to improve the technical problems of existing manual tray changing with high labor intensity and low efficiency.

[0004] The present application provides an automatic disc changing device, which includes a driving mechanism, a transfer mechanism and two material picking mechanisms, the two material picking mechanisms are both installed on the driving mechanism, and the transfer mechanism is located between the two material picking mechanisms; the driving mechanism drives one of the material picking mechanisms to transfer multiple workpieces in a first target disc to the transfer mechanism, and drives the other material picking mechanism to transfer multiple workpieces carried in the transfer mechanism to a second target disc; in the process of transferring the multiple workpieces in the first target disc to the transfer mechanism, the material picking mechanism adjusts the spacing between the multiple workpieces along a first direction; and / or, in the process of transferring the multiple workpieces carried on the transfer mechanism to the second target disc, the material picking mechanism adjusts the distance between the multiple workpieces along the first direction; when the multiple workpieces are carried on the transfer mechanism, the transfer mechanism adjusts the spacing between the multiple workpieces along the second direction; the first direction intersects with the second direction.

[0005] The above-mentioned automatic tray changing device can transfer the workpiece from the first target tray to the second target tray through the cooperation of the driving mechanism, the material taking mechanism and the transfer mechanism. Specifically, the driving mechanism drives one of the two material taking mechanisms to transfer the workpiece from the first target tray to the transfer mechanism, and drives the other of the two material taking mechanisms to transfer the workpiece from the transfer mechanism to the second target tray.

[0006] In the process of transferring the workpiece from the first target tray to the second target tray, at least one of the two material-picking mechanisms can adjust the spacing of the multiple workpieces in the first direction so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces along the first direction corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces in the second target tray along the first direction, and the transfer mechanism can adjust the spacing of the multiple workpieces in the second direction so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces along the second direction corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces in the second target tray along the second direction. In this way, the workpieces can be transferred between trays of different sizes. Compared with the manual reversal of the transmission tray, the operation is time-saving and labor-saving, the labor intensity of the workers is reduced, and the efficiency of the workpiece tray change is improved.

[0007] In at least one embodiment, the picking mechanism sucks the multiple workpieces from the first target tray, and the picking mechanism sucks the multiple workpieces from the transfer mechanism, which are synchronously performed under the drive of the driving mechanism.

[0008] In the above embodiment, when the automatic tray changing device is working, the driving mechanism drives the two material taking mechanisms to move synchronously. When one of the material taking mechanisms moves to the first target tray, the other material taking mechanism moves to the position of the transfer mechanism; and when the driving mechanism drives one of the material taking mechanisms to move to the position of the transfer mechanism, the other material taking mechanism moves to the second target tray. In this way, the waiting time between the two material taking mechanisms can be reduced, and the working efficiency of the automatic tray changing device can be further improved.

[0009] In at least one embodiment, the material picking mechanism includes a first driving member and a plurality of suction components, the plurality of suction components are arranged on the driving mechanism, the first driving member is configured to adjust the spacing between the plurality of suction components in the first direction; the arrangement of the plurality of suction components along the second direction corresponds to the arrangement of the plurality of workpieces in the first target material tray along the second direction; or, the arrangement of the plurality of suction components along the second direction corresponds to the arrangement of the plurality of workpieces in the second target material tray along the second direction.

[0010] In the above embodiment, the material picking mechanism can flexibly adjust the position of the suction assembly according to the arrangement of the workpieces on different target trays. Specifically, after the material picking mechanism picks up the workpiece, the material picking mechanism adjusts the spacing of the multiple suction assemblies along the first direction through the first driving member, so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces in the first direction corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces in the target tray along the first direction. In this way, the accurate picking and placement of the workpieces can be ensured, and the tray changing efficiency of the automatic tray changing device can be improved.

[0011] In at least one embodiment, the material picking mechanism also includes a fixed arm and a movable arm, the fixed arm is installed on the driving mechanism, the movable arm is connected to the first driving member, and a plurality of suction assemblies are arranged at intervals on the fixed arm and the movable arm along the second direction; the first driving member is configured to drive the movable arm to move along the first direction toward or away from the fixed arm.

[0012] In the above embodiment, when the material picking mechanism needs to adsorb or release the workpiece, the first driving member drives the movable arm to move in the first direction toward (or away from) the fixed arm to reduce (or increase) the spacing of the multiple workpieces in the first direction, so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces in the first direction corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces in the target material tray along the first direction, that is, the adjustment of the spacing of the multiple workpieces along the first direction is achieved. In this way, the accuracy of the material picking assembly in adsorbing or releasing the workpiece is improved, and the production efficiency and accuracy are improved.

[0014] In the above embodiment, after the workpiece is placed on the corresponding support platform, the transfer mechanism adjusts the spacing between the multiple support platforms along the second direction through the adjustment component, so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces along the second direction corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces in the target material tray along the second direction, thereby ensuring that the workpiece can be accurately transferred to the target material tray and reducing the risk of mismatch between the workpiece and the material tray.

[0015] In at least one embodiment, the adjustment component includes a second driving member and a plurality of connecting members, each connecting member is correspondingly arranged between two adjacent supporting platforms; one of the supporting platform and the connecting member is provided with a sliding portion, and the other is provided with a slide groove; each connecting member is fixedly connected to one of the two adjacent supporting platforms, and is slidably connected to the slide groove through the sliding portion, so as to be slidably connected to the other of the two adjacent supporting platforms; the second driving member is installed on the bracket, and is connected to the supporting platform at one end of each column of the supporting platform group, and is configured to drive the supporting platform to slide in both directions along the second direction, so that each sliding portion abuts against the groove walls on opposite sides of the slide groove respectively.

[0016] In the above embodiment, the support platform can slide bidirectionally along the second direction through the action of the second driving member, so that the connecting member slides in the slide groove, thereby adjusting the spacing between two adjacent support platforms. Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the spacing of multiple workpieces along the second direction, the second driving member drives the support platform at one end of each column of the support platform group to slide along the second direction, and the support platform at one end of each column of the support platform group drives the corresponding connecting member to slide along the slide groove. When the sliding part of the corresponding connecting member abuts against the groove wall on one side of the slide groove, the connecting member will push the adjacent support platform to continue to slide along the second direction, and so on, until the corresponding connecting member abuts against the groove wall of the slide groove in the support platform at the other end of each column of the support platform group.

[0070] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0071] The embodiment of the present application provides an automatic tray changing device 100, which is used to transfer workpieces 400 from a first target tray 200 to a second target tray 300. The first target tray 200 and the second target tray 300 have different specifications and sizes. Specifically, the spacing of the workpieces 400 in the first target tray 200 along the first direction Y is different from the spacing of the workpieces 400 in the second target tray 300 along the first direction Y, and the spacing of the workpieces 400 in the first target tray 200 along the second direction X is different from the spacing of the workpieces in the second target tray 300 along the second direction X.

[0072] It should be noted that the first direction Y intersects with the second direction X. Preferably, the first direction Y is perpendicular to the second direction X. The first direction Y is defined as the width direction of the first target tray 200 (or the second target tray 300), and the second direction X is defined as the length direction of the first target tray 200 (or the second target tray 300). Of course, in other embodiments, the first direction Y and the second direction X may not be perpendicular, and this application does not limit this.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic tray changing device 100 includes a driving mechanism 10, a transfer mechanism 20 and two material taking mechanisms 30. The two material taking mechanisms 30 are both installed on the driving mechanism 10, and the transfer mechanism 20 is located between the two material taking mechanisms 30. The driving mechanism 10 drives one of the material taking mechanisms 30 to transfer a plurality of workpieces 400 in the first target tray 200 to the transfer mechanism 20, and drives the other material taking mechanism 30 to transfer a plurality of workpieces 400 carried in the transfer mechanism 20 to the second target tray 300.

[0074] It should be noted that by arranging the transfer mechanism 20 between the two material-retrieving mechanisms 30, the moving stroke of the material-retrieving mechanism 30 can be shortened, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of the workpiece 400. In other embodiments, the transfer mechanism 20 can also be arranged at the periphery of the two material-retrieving mechanisms 30 or at other locations, which is not limited in this application, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual conditions.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, two material taking mechanisms 30 are defined as a first material taking mechanism 31 and a second material taking mechanism 32 .

[0076] In one embodiment, when the multiple workpieces 400 in the first target tray 200 are transferred to the transfer mechanism 20, the first material picking mechanism 31 adjusts the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 along the first direction Y. When the multiple workpieces 400 are carried on the transfer mechanism 20, the transfer mechanism 20 adjusts the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 along the second direction X. Thus, it is ensured that the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 in the first direction Y and the second direction X can meet the size requirements of the second target tray 300.

[0077] It can be understood that when the workpieces 400 in the first target tray 200 need to be transferred to the second target tray 300, the first material picking mechanism 31, under the drive of the driving mechanism 10, first transfers the workpieces 400 in the first target tray 200 to the transfer mechanism 20. It is worth noting that in the process of transferring the workpieces 400 by the first material picking mechanism 31, the first material picking mechanism 31 adjusts the spacing between two adjacent workpieces 400 along the first direction Y, so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 in the first direction Y corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 in the second target tray 300 along the first direction Y.

[0078] After the workpiece 400 is transferred to the transfer mechanism 20, the transfer mechanism 20 adjusts the distance between two adjacent workpieces 400 along the second direction X, so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 along the second direction X corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 in the second target tray 300 along the second direction X. Finally, the second material picking mechanism 30b, driven by the driving mechanism 10, transfers the workpiece 400 in the transfer mechanism 20 to the second target tray 300.

[0079] For example, the distance between two adjacent workpieces 400 in the first target tray 200 is 5 mm in the first direction Y and 6 mm in the second direction X. The distance between two adjacent workpieces 400 in the second target tray 300 is 10 mm in the first direction Y and 12 mm in the second direction X.

[0080] The first material picking mechanism 31, driven by the driving mechanism 10, first transfers the workpieces 400 in the first target tray 200 to the transfer mechanism 20. In the process of transferring the multiple workpieces 400 in the first target tray 200 to the transfer mechanism 20, the first material picking mechanism 31 increases the spacing between two adjacent workpieces 400 along the first direction Y to 10 mm to meet the spacing arrangement of the workpieces 400 in the second target tray 300 along the first direction Y.

[0081] After the workpiece 400 is transferred to the transfer mechanism 20, the transfer mechanism 20 increases the spacing between two adjacent workpieces 400 to 12 mm along the second direction X to meet the spacing arrangement of the workpieces 400 in the second target tray 300 along the second direction X. Finally, the second material picking mechanism 32 is driven by the driving mechanism 10 to transfer the workpiece 400 in the transfer mechanism 20 to the second target tray 300.

[0082] In another embodiment, when the multiple workpieces 400 carried on the transfer mechanism 20 are transferred to the second target material tray 300, the second material picking mechanism 32 adjusts the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 along the first direction Y. When the multiple workpieces 400 are carried on the transfer mechanism 20, the transfer mechanism 20 adjusts the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 along the second direction X. Thus, it is ensured that the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 in the first direction Y and the second direction X can meet the size requirements of the second target material tray 300.

[0083] It can be understood that when the workpieces 400 in the first target tray 200 need to be transferred to the second target tray 300, the first material picking mechanism 31, under the drive of the driving mechanism 10, first transfers the workpieces 400 in the first target tray 200 to the transfer mechanism 20. After the workpieces 400 are transferred to the transfer mechanism 20, the transfer mechanism 20 adjusts the spacing between two adjacent workpieces 400 along the second direction X, so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 along the second direction X corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 in the second target tray 300 along the second direction X.

[0084] Subsequently, the second material picking mechanism 32, driven by the driving mechanism 10, transfers the workpieces 400 in the transfer mechanism 20 to the second target material tray 300. It is worth noting that during the transfer of the workpieces 400, the second material picking mechanism 32 adjusts the spacing between two adjacent workpieces 400 along the first direction Y, so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 in the first direction Y corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 in the second target material tray 300 along the first direction Y.

[0085] In another embodiment, when transferring the multiple workpieces 400 in the first target material tray 200 to the transfer mechanism 20, the first material picking mechanism 31 adjusts the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 along the first direction Y. At the same time, when transferring the multiple workpieces 400 carried on the transfer mechanism 20 to the second target material tray 300, the second material picking mechanism 32 adjusts the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 along the first direction Y. When the multiple workpieces 400 are carried on the transfer mechanism 20, the transfer mechanism 20 adjusts the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 along the second direction X.

[0086] It should be noted that the versatility of the automatic tray changing device 100 can be improved by setting the first material picking mechanism 31 and the second material picking mechanism 32 to adjust the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 along the first direction Y. For example, the automatic tray changing device 100 can transfer the workpieces 400 of the first target tray 200 to the second target tray 300, and can also transfer the workpieces 400 of the second target tray 300 to the first target tray 200.

[0087] It should also be noted that since the first material picking mechanism 31 and the second material picking mechanism 32 both adjust the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 along the first direction Y, in the process of transferring workpieces 400 in trays with different spacings or the same spacings, technicians do not need to repeatedly change and adjust the spacing in the first direction Y of the transfer mechanism 20, but only need to adjust the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 in the first direction Y through the first material picking mechanism 31 and the second material picking mechanism 32.

[0088] To sum up, the automatic disc changing device 100 has the following beneficial effects: the automatic disc changing device 100 can transfer the workpiece 400 from the first target disc 200 to the second target disc 300 through the cooperation of the driving mechanism 10, the material picking mechanism 30 and the transfer mechanism 20. Compared with the manual disc changing by transmission, the operation is time-saving and labor-saving, the labor intensity of workers is reduced, and the disc changing efficiency of the workpiece 400 is improved.

[0089] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first material picking mechanism 31 picks up multiple workpieces 400 from the first target material tray 200 , and the second material picking mechanism 32 picks up multiple workpieces 400 from the transfer mechanism 20 , and the processes are performed synchronously under the drive of the drive mechanism 10 .

[0090] Specifically, when the automatic tray changing device 100 is working, the driving mechanism 10 drives the first material picking mechanism 31 and the second material picking mechanism 32 to move synchronously. When the first material picking mechanism 31 moves to the first target tray 200, the second material picking mechanism 32 moves to the position of the transfer mechanism 20; and when the driving mechanism 10 drives the first material picking mechanism 31 to move to the position of the transfer mechanism 20, the second material picking mechanism 32 moves to the second target tray 300. In other words, the first material picking mechanism 31 and the second material picking mechanism 32 move synchronously under the drive of the same driving mechanism 10.

[0091] It is worth noting that the first material picking mechanism 31 and the second material picking mechanism 32 also simultaneously suck the workpiece 400 or release the workpiece 400, thereby reducing the waiting time between the first material picking mechanism 31 and the second material picking mechanism 32, and further improving the working efficiency of the automatic disc changing device 100.

[0092] In another embodiment, the first material picking mechanism 31 sucks the multiple workpieces 400 from the first target material tray 200, and the second material picking mechanism 32 sucks the multiple workpieces 400 from the transfer mechanism 20, which are asynchronously performed under the drive of the driving mechanism 10. Specifically, the driving mechanism 10 includes two driving components (not shown), and the two driving components drive the first material picking mechanism 31 and the second material picking mechanism 32 to operate respectively, and the first material picking mechanism 31 and the second material picking mechanism 32 operate asynchronously.

[0093] It should be noted that the two driving components can also drive the first material picking mechanism 31 and the second material picking mechanism 32 to operate synchronously, that is, the first material picking mechanism 31 and the second material picking mechanism 32 operate synchronously under the drive of two different driving components. This application does not make any limitation, and technical personnel in this field can choose according to actual conditions.

[0094] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the first material picking mechanism 31 includes a first driving member 311 and a plurality of material suction components 312 . The plurality of material suction components 312 are arranged on the driving mechanism 10 . The first driving member 311 is configured to adjust the spacing of the plurality of material suction components 312 in the first direction Y.

[0095] It can be understood that after the first material picking mechanism 31 sucks the workpiece 400, the first material picking mechanism 31 adjusts the spacing of the multiple suction components 312 along the first direction Y through the first driving member 311, so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 in the first direction Y corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 in the target material tray along the first direction Y, that is, the adjustment of the spacing of the multiple workpieces 400 along the first direction Y is achieved.

[0096] In one embodiment, the arrangement of multiple suction components 312 in the first material picking mechanism 31 along the second direction X corresponds to the arrangement of multiple workpieces 400 in the first target material tray 200 along the second direction X, so as to ensure that the suction components 312 can absorb the workpieces 400 in the first target material tray 200, or place the workpieces 400 in the first target material tray 200.

[0097] It should be noted that, through the setting of the first driving mechanism 10, the first material picking mechanism 31 can flexibly adjust the position of the suction assembly 312 according to the arrangement of the workpieces 400 on different target material trays, thereby ensuring the accurate picking and placement of the workpieces 400, thereby improving the tray changing efficiency of the automatic tray changing device 100.

[0098] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the suction assembly 312 includes a connection seat 3121 and a plurality of suction heads 3122. The connection seat 3121 is mounted on the driving mechanism 10, and the plurality of suction heads 3122 are mounted on the connection seat 3121, and the suction heads 3122 are used to absorb the workpiece 400, so that the suction assembly 312 can grasp and carry the workpiece 400.

[0099] It should be noted that, by providing multiple suction heads 3122 , multi-point adsorption of the workpiece 400 can be achieved, so as to ensure that the suction component 312 can stably grasp the workpiece 400 of various shapes and sizes, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the workpiece 400 transfer.

[0100] In one embodiment, the connection seat 3121 includes a main body 31211 and a plurality of stoppers 31212. The main body 31211 is mounted on the driving mechanism 10. The plurality of stoppers 31212 are all mounted on the main body 31211 and arranged along the circumference of the main body 31211. Specifically, the plurality of stoppers 31212 are mounted on one end of the main body 31211 away from the driving mechanism 10 and are arranged around the main body 31211 as the center.

[0101] In addition, the limiting member 31212 is provided with a limiting groove 312121, and each suction head 3122 is installed in the limiting groove 312121 of a corresponding limiting member 31212, and can slide along the limiting groove 312121 in a direction close to or away from the main body 31211. In one embodiment, each suction head 3122 slides vertically along the limiting groove 312121 of the corresponding limiting member 31212. Alternatively, in another embodiment, each suction head 3122 slides obliquely along the limiting groove 312121 of the corresponding limiting member 31212.

[0102] It should be noted that through the setting of the limit member 31212, when the material picking structure adsorbs the workpiece 400, the operator can flexibly adjust the position of each suction head 3122 according to the size of the workpiece 400 and the distribution of the hollow positions in the workpiece 400 to ensure the accurate absorption of the workpiece 400, thereby improving the operational stability of the automatic disc changing device 100.

[0103] In one embodiment, the stopper 31212 is rotatably connected to the main body 31211. It is worth noting that the rotation center of the stopper 31212 is the central axis of the main body 31211 in the third direction Z. Through the rotation adjustment of the stopper 31212, the operator can change the angle and position of the suction head 3122 relative to the main body 31211 to adapt to workpieces 400 of different shapes and sizes, thereby further improving the versatility of the automatic disc changing device 100.

[0104] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the first material picking mechanism 31 also includes a fixed arm 313 and a movable arm 314, the fixed arm 313 is installed on the driving mechanism 10, the movable arm 314 is connected to the first driving member 311, and a plurality of suction components 312 are arranged at intervals along the second direction X at the fixed arm 313 and the movable arm 314, and the first driving member 311 is configured to drive the movable arm 314 to move along the first direction Y toward or away from the fixed arm 313.

[0105] It can be understood that when the first material picking mechanism 31 needs to absorb or release the workpiece 400, the first driving member 311 drives the movable arm 314 to move in the first direction Y toward (or away from) the fixed arm 313 to reduce (or increase) the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 in the first direction Y, so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 in the first direction Y corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 in the target material tray along the first direction Y, that is, the adjustment of the spacing between the multiple workpieces 400 along the first direction Y is achieved. In this way, the accuracy of the suction component 312 in absorbing or releasing the workpiece 400 is improved, and the production efficiency and accuracy are improved.

[0106] It should be noted that the second material taking mechanism 32 has the same structure as the first material taking mechanism 31, which will not be described in detail here. Of course, in other embodiments, the second material taking mechanism 32 may also be different from the first material taking mechanism 31, which is not limited in this application, and those skilled in the art may choose according to actual conditions.

[0107] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the transfer mechanism 20 includes a bracket 21, an adjustment component 22 and a plurality of load platforms 23, wherein the plurality of load platforms 23 are arranged on the bracket 21 and form two rows of load platform 23 groups along a first direction Y. The adjustment component 22 is mounted on the bracket 21 and is configured to adjust the spacing between the plurality of load platforms 23 in each row.

[0108] It can be understood that after the workpiece 400 is placed on the corresponding support platform 23, the transfer mechanism 20 adjusts the spacing between the multiple support platforms 23 along the second direction X through the adjustment component 22, so that the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 along the second direction X corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple workpieces 400 in the target material tray along the second direction X, thereby ensuring that the workpiece 400 can be accurately transferred to the target material tray and reducing the risk of mismatch between the workpiece 400 and the material tray.

[0109] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, multiple load platforms 23 can also be arranged into load platform groups of other numbers such as 3 rows, 4 rows, etc. When the number of columns of the load platform group increases, the number of adjustment components 22 needs to be increased accordingly to ensure that the spacing between the multiple load platforms 23 in each column can be adjusted. This application does not limit this, and technical personnel in this field can choose according to actual conditions.

[0110] It should also be noted that the arrangement of the multiple columns of the carrier groups corresponds to the arrangement of the suction components 312 in the material taking mechanism 30. In other words, when the suction components 312 in the material taking mechanism 30 are increased, the corresponding carriers 23 and carrier groups also need to be increased.

[0111] In one embodiment, the adjustment assembly 22 includes a second driving member 221 and a plurality of connecting members 222, and each connecting member 222 is correspondingly disposed between two adjacent bearing platforms 23. Specifically, one of the bearing platform 23 and the connecting member 222 is provided with a sliding portion 2221, and the other is provided with a sliding groove 231, and each connecting member 222 is fixedly connected to one of the two adjacent bearing platforms 23, and is slidably connected to the sliding groove 231 through the sliding portion 2221, so as to be slidably connected to the other of the two adjacent bearing platforms 23.

[0112] In one embodiment, the second driving member 221 is installed on the bracket 21 and connected to the support platform 23 at one end of each column of the support platform 23 group, and is configured to drive the support platform 23 to slide bidirectionally along the second direction X, so that each sliding portion 2221 respectively abuts against the groove walls on opposite sides of the slide groove 231.

[0113] It can be understood that when it is necessary to adjust the spacing of multiple workpieces 400 along the second direction X, the second driving member 221 drives the support platform 23 at one end of each column of the support platform 23 group to slide along the second direction X, and the support platform 23 at one end of each column of the support platform 23 group drives the corresponding connecting member 222 to slide along the slide groove 231.

[0114] When the sliding portion 2221 of the corresponding connecting member 222 abuts against one side wall of the slide groove 231, the connecting member 222 will push the adjacent supporting platform 23 to continue sliding along the second direction X, and so on, until the corresponding connecting member 222 abuts against the wall of the slide groove 231 in the supporting platform 23 at the other end of each column of the supporting platform 23 group.

[0115] Therefore, through the action of the second driving member 221 , the supporting platform 23 can slide bidirectionally along the second direction X, so that the connecting member 222 slides in the sliding groove 231 , thereby adjusting the distance between two adjacent supporting platforms 23 .

[0116] In one embodiment, the carrying platform 23 at the other end of each row of the carrying platform 23 group is fixedly mounted on the bracket 21. The second driving member 221 drives the carrying platform 23 at one end of each row of the carrying platform 23 group to slide along the second direction X until the corresponding connecting member 222 abuts against the groove wall of the sliding groove 231 in the carrying platform 23 at the other end of each row of the carrying platform 23 group.

[0117] In another embodiment, the carrying platform 23 at the other end of each column of the carrying platform 23 group is movably mounted on the bracket 21. The second driving member 221 drives the carrying platform 23 at one end of each column of the carrying platform 23 group to slide along the second direction X, and when the corresponding connecting member 222 abuts against the groove wall of the sliding groove 231 in the carrying platform 23 at the other end of each column of the carrying platform 23 group, the second driving member 221 reaches the maximum movement stroke.

[0118] Exemplarily, the number of the carriers 23 in each column of the carrier 23 group is 5, and the maximum movement stroke of the second driving member 221 is 25 mm. The second driving member 221 drives the carrier 23 at one end of the carrier 23 group to slide along the second direction X, and the sliding stroke of each carrier 23 is 5 mm. When the connecting member 222 abuts against the groove wall of the slide groove 231 in the carrier 23 at the other end of each column of the carrier 23 group, the second driving member 221 just reaches the maximum movement stroke of 25 mm.

[0119] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the bracket 21 includes a base 211 and a carrying plate 212, the carrying plate 212 is mounted on the base 211, a plurality of carrying platforms 23 are arranged on the carrying plate 212, and the relative positions of the base 211 and the carrying plate 212 in the third direction Z are adjustable. It should be noted that the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction Y and the second direction X. Preferably, the third direction Z is defined as the height direction of the first target tray 200 (or the second target tray 300).

[0120] Specifically, the transfer mechanism 20 also includes a third driving member 24 and a guide member 25. The third driving member 24 is installed on the base 211, and the output end of the third driving member 24 is connected to the supporting plate 212. One end of the guide member 25 is slidably penetrated through the supporting plate 212 and fixedly connected to the base 211.

[0121] It can be understood that when the thickness of the workpiece 400 is relatively large, the third driving member 24 drives the supporting plate 212 to slide along the third direction Z toward the base 211 to increase the distance between the supporting platform 23 and the material picking mechanism 30; when the thickness of the workpiece 400 is relatively small, the third driving member 24 drives the supporting plate 212 to slide along the third direction Z toward the base 211 to reduce the distance between the supporting platform 23 and the material picking mechanism 30.

[0122] It should be noted that by adjusting the relative positions of the base 211 and the carrier plate 212 in the third direction Z, the height or spacing of the carrier table 23 can be adjusted, so as to adapt to workpieces 400 of different heights or thicknesses, thereby improving the applicability and efficiency of the automatic disc changing device 100. In addition, by adjusting the relative positions of the base 211 and the carrier plate 212 in the third direction Z, the risk of interference between the material taking mechanism 30 and the carrier table 23 and causing damage to the components can also be reduced.

[0123] The above description is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the disclosure scope of the present application.
