DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0021] The rod-shaped object transport device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 6An embodiment of the present application provides a rod-shaped object transport device, including a moving device 10, a flipping device 20 and a driving device 30. The moving device 10 and the flipping device 20 are movably connected, and the driving device 30 can move along a first direction Z. The driving device 30 is respectively connected to the moving device 10 and the flipping device 20. The moving device 10 can drive the flipping device 20 to move. The driving device 30 can drive at least a part of the flipping device 20 to flip relative to the moving device 10, so as to drive the flipping device 20 to connect with the moving device 10 along the first direction Z or the second direction X; wherein the first direction Z and the second direction X are perpendicular to each other.

[0023] In the embodiment of the present application, the mobile device 10 is configured to drive the flipping device 20 to move. Specifically, in practical applications, the mobile device 10 can drive the flipping device 20 to circulate at various workstations, for example, drive the flipping device 20 to move to the cooling zone of the rod-shaped object. The flipping device 20 can be flipped relative to the mobile device 10 to achieve clamping of the rod-shaped object at different workstations and different motion states. Further, the driving device 30 can move up and down along the first direction Z, and the driving device 30 is configured to drive the flipping device 20 to flip. Then, when the flipping device 20 flips relative to the mobile device 10, the rod-shaped object clamped by the flipping device 20 also flips accordingly, so that the rod-shaped object can be connected to the mobile device 10 along the first direction Z or the second direction X. In the embodiment of the present application, by setting up a rod-shaped object transportation device including a moving device 10, a flipping device 20 and a driving device 30, the setting direction of the rod-shaped object can be changed, and the movement of the rod-shaped object can be driven, which is convenient for grasping, placing and transporting the rod-shaped object in production and manufacturing, reduces the transfer of the rod-shaped object between multiple devices, and has the beneficial effects of saving work time, improving efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0024] Specifically, the rod-shaped object may be a silicon rod. In practical applications, when the rod-shaped object transport device takes the silicon rod, the flip device 20 is in the first state. At this time, after the flip device 20 takes the silicon rod, the silicon rod and the moving device 10 are connected along the first direction Z. During the moving and transporting process of the moving device 10, the silicon rod is also connected to the moving device 10 along the first direction Z. When the silicon rod needs to be placed in the silicon rod cooling zone, the flip device 20 flips, and the silicon rod is connected to the moving device 10 along the second direction X.

[0025] In practical applications, by setting up the mobile device 10 and the flipping device 20, the silicon rods can be grasped and transported. There is no need to manually carry the crystal retrieval frame to retrieve the crystals, and the rod retrieval and transportation are integrated, which has the beneficial effects of saving work hours, improving efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0026] It should be noted that, in practical applications, the first direction Z mentioned above includes the positive direction of the first direction Z of upward movement and also includes the reverse direction of the first direction Z of downward movement. Similarly, the second direction X and the third direction Y also include the positive direction and the reverse direction.

[0027] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the mobile device 10 includes a frame 11, the frame 11 includes two side panels 111 relatively arranged along a third direction Y, and the two side panels 111 are provided with relatively arranged guide holes 1111, the flipping device 20 is movably connected to the guide holes 1111, the driving device is connected to the frame 11, and the driving device 30 can drive the flipping device 20 to move along the guide holes 1111 to drive the flipping device 20 to connect with the guide holes 1111 along the first direction Z or the second direction X.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, two side plates 111 disposed oppositely are further provided with guide holes 1111 disposed oppositely, and the two guide holes 1111 disposed oppositely have the function of improving the stability of the flipping of the flipping device 20. The guide holes 1111 are provided to realize the flipping of the flipping device 20. Specifically, the guide holes 1111 have a guiding function on the movement direction of the flipping device 20. It can be understood that the flipping device 20 is movably connected to the guide holes 1111. During the flipping process of the flipping device 20, the movement direction of the flipping device 20 is limited by the extension direction of the guide holes 1111, and the movement trajectory of the flipping device 20 is consistent with the opening direction of the guide holes 1111.

[0029] It should be noted that, in order to enable the frame 11 to drive the flip device 20 to move, a rolling member is further provided at the bottom of the frame 11 that contacts the ground, and the frame 11 moves by rolling. Specifically, the rolling member may be a roller.

[0030] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the guide hole 1111 includes a first guide section 1111a, a second guide section 1111b and a third guide section 1111c, the first guide section 1111a extends along the first direction Z, the third guide section 1111c extends along the second direction X, the second guide section 1111b is connected between the first guide section 1111a and the third guide section 1111c, and there is a preset angle between the second guide section 1111b and the first guide section 1111a; the length of the second guide section 1111b is set based on the need to realize the connection between the flipping device 20 and the mobile device 10 along the first direction Z when the flipping device 20 is connected to the third guide section 1111c. That is, the length of the second guide section 1111b needs to meet the requirement that when the flipping device moves to the junction of the second guide section 1111b and the third guide section 1111c or moves to the third guide section 1111c, the flipping device can be completely in a vertical state, that is, the rod-shaped material grabbed by the flipping device is connected to the mobile device 1 in the first direction Z. The length of the second guide section 1111b can be set to meet the above requirements.

[0031] As an implementable solution, the length of the orthographic projection of the flipping device 20 along the first direction Z on the second direction X is a, and the length of the orthographic projection of the second guide segment 1111b along the first direction Z on the second direction X is A, wherein the length of A may be greater than or equal to the length of a.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the first guide segment 1111a extends along the first direction Z, the third guide segment 1111c extends along the second direction X, the second guide segment 1111b is connected between the first guide segment 1111a and the third guide segment 1111c, and there is a preset angle between the second guide segment 1111b and the first guide segment 1111a. It can be understood that the flipping device 20 can move along the first guide segment 1111a, the second guide segment 1111b and the third guide segment 1111c in sequence to achieve the switching of the rod-shaped object from the position connected to the mobile device 10 along the second direction X to the position connected to the mobile device 10 along the first direction Z. In actual application, the flipping device 20 can move along the first guide segment 1111a, that is, move along the first direction Z, and then enter the second guide segment 1111b, that is, move along the inclined direction until it moves to the third guide segment 1111c, and then move along the third guide segment 1111c, that is, move along the second direction X, so as to drive the rod-shaped object to switch from being connected to the mobile device 10 along the second direction X to being connected to the mobile device 10 along the first direction Z.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to connect the flipping device 20 to the mobile device 10 along the first direction Z, that is, to make the flipping device 20 in a vertical state, the flipping device 20 needs to move along the first guide section 1111a to the third guide section 1111c. At this time, the length of the orthogonal projection of the flipping device 20 along the first direction Z in the second direction X is less than the length of the orthogonal projection of the second guide section 1111b along the first direction Z in the second direction X. Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, when the flipping device 20 is in the second guide section 1111b, the length of the flipping device's horizontal projection in the second direction X is less than the length of the second guide section 1111b's horizontal projection in the second direction X, and the side length of the flipping device 20 in the second guide section 1111b is less than the length of the second guide section 1111b. When the flipping device 20 moves to be parallel to the horizontal plane, the length of the flipping device 20's horizontal projection in the second direction X is equal to the length of the second guide section 1111b's horizontal projection in the second direction X. In fact, it can be understood that at this time, the length of the flipping device 20 is equal to the length of the second guide section 1111b's horizontal projection on the horizontal plane, so as to ensure that the flipping device 20 can be completely in a horizontal state during the movement along the guide section. It can be understood that the above-mentioned length is set to facilitate the flipping device 20 to be connected with the moving device in the first direction Z during the flipping process, and does not constitute a limitation on the scope of the present solution. For example, the length of the flipping device 20 can also be set to be longer than the length of the projection of the second guide segment 1111b on the horizontal plane. As long as it moves to the bottom end of the second guide segment 1111b or the third guide segment, the flipping device 20 can be completely in a horizontal state.

[0034] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the driving device also includes a transmission assembly 13, a driving member 31 and a gear assembly 32, the transmission assembly 13 includes a fixed rack 131 and a movable rack 132; the fixed rack 131 is fixedly connected to the frame 11, the fixed rack 131 and the movable rack 132 are relatively arranged along the second direction X and are both engaged with the gear assembly 32, the movable rack 132 is fixedly connected to the flipping device 20, the output end of the driving member 31 is fixedly connected to the gear assembly 32, the driving member 31 can drive the gear assembly 32 to move along the first direction Z; the gear assembly 32 can move along the first direction Z relative to the fixed rack 131, and the movable rack 132 can move along the first direction Z relative to the gear assembly 32.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the gear assembly 32 is connected to the output end of the driving member 31. In actual application, the output end of the driving member 31 can be extended and retracted up and down along the first direction Z. The setting of the gear assembly 32 is used to realize the movable connection between the fixed rack 131 and the movable rack 132, and at the same time, the movement stroke of the driving member 31 can be increased. The fixed rack 131 is fixedly connected to the frame 11, and the movable rack 132 is fixedly connected to the flip device 20. The fixed rack 131 and the movable rack 132 are meshed through the gear assembly 32. In the process of the output end of the driving member 31 extending and retracting up and down along the first direction Z, the movable rack 132 also moves up and down along the first direction Z, thereby driving the flip device 20 to move along the guide hole 1111.

[0036] Furthermore, since the gear assembly 32 can move along the first direction Z relative to the fixed rack 131, and the movable rack 132 can move along the first direction Z relative to the gear assembly 32, that is, the gear assembly 32 and the movable rack 132 can drive the flipping device 20 to achieve double-stroke movement in the first direction Z, one of which is the stroke of the gear assembly 32 moving along the fixed rack 131, and the other is the stroke of the movable rack 132 moving along the gear assembly 32. The accumulation of the two single strokes in the positive or reverse direction of the first direction Z is the double-stroke movement. The double-stroke movement can achieve the clamping of rod-shaped objects with a larger length range, thereby having the beneficial effect of improving the compatibility of the rod-shaped object transportation device, that is, the setting of this scheme can achieve the compatibility of clamping and flipping of long and short rods. The flipping device 20 can move the fixed rack 131 along the first direction Z by the length of the first direction Z, and can move the movable rack 132 along the first direction Z by the length of the first direction Z, that is, the movable length of the flipping device is the sum of the moving lengths of the fixed rack 131 and the movable rack 132, thereby enabling the flipping device 20 to be compatible with rod-like structures with larger length dimensions, which has the beneficial effect of improving the compatibility of rod-like object transportation devices.

[0037] Specifically, the driving device may be one or more of a pneumatic cylinder, an oil cylinder or an electric cylinder. The present embodiment does not specifically limit the driving member 31, and it only needs to realize movement along the first direction Z.

[0038] Furthermore, the driving device may include an oil cylinder, an oil unloading switch, a foot pedal, and the like.

[0039] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the gear assembly 32 includes a gear shaft 321, a rotating gear 322, a roller 323 and a connecting plate 324, the gear shaft 321 extends along the third direction Y, the rotating gear 322 is sleeved on the gear shaft 321 and rotates with the gear shaft 321 as the rotating axis, two connecting plates 324 are relatively arranged at both ends of the gear shaft 321 and are fixedly connected to the gear shaft 321, two rollers 323 are relatively arranged at both sides of the rotating gear 322 along the second direction X and are connected to the connecting plate 324, and the rotating axis of the roller 323 is parallel to the rotating axis of the rotating gear 322; the rack surface of the fixed rack 131 is meshed with the rotating gear 322, the non-rack surface of the fixed rack 131 is in contact with one roller 323, the rack surface of the movable rack 132 is meshed with the rotating gear 322, and the non-rack surface of the movable rack 132 is rollingly connected to another roller 323.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the gear shaft 321 extends along the third direction Y. The gear shaft 321 is used to provide a rotation axis for the rotating gear 322. The rotating gear 322 is sleeved on the gear shaft 321 and rotates with the gear shaft 321 as the rotation axis. Two connecting plates 324 are relatively arranged at both ends of the gear shaft 321 and are fixedly connected to the gear shaft 321. Two rollers 323 are relatively arranged at both sides of the rotating gear 322 along the second direction X and are connected to the connecting plates 324. The rotation axis of the roller 323 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating gear 322. It can be understood that the connecting plates 324 and the rollers 323 enclose an annular space, and the gear shaft 321 and the rotating gear 322 divide the annular space into two parts. The fixed rack 131 and the movable rack 132 are respectively arranged in one part of the space, which has the function of limiting the fixed rack 131 and the movable rack 132. The rack surface of the fixed rack 131 is meshed with the rotating gear 322, the non-rack surface of the fixed rack 131 is in contact with a roller 323, the rack surface of the movable rack 132 is meshed with the rotating gear 322, and the non-rack surface of the movable rack 132 is in rolling connection with another roller 323. In practical applications, the rotating gear 322 is meshed with the fixed rack 131 and the movable rack 132 respectively, and as the rotating gear 322 rotates, the rotating gear 322 can move along the first direction Z, and the movable rack 132 can also move along the first direction Z. In the process of the rotating gear 322 rotating and the movable rack 132 moving, one roller 323 is in contact with the non-rack surface of the fixed rack 131, and the other roller 323 is in contact with the non-rack surface of the movable rack 132, which has the beneficial effects of fixing the rack position and improving the smoothness of the movement of the movable rack 132.

[0041] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the flipping device 20 includes a connecting component 21 and a clamping component 22, one side of the connecting component 21 is fixedly connected to the movable rack 132, and the other side of the connecting component 21 is movably connected to the guide hole 1111; when the driving member 31 drives the gear assembly 32 to move along the first direction Z, the connecting component 21 can move along the guide hole 1111 to achieve flipping; the clamping component 22 is movably connected to the connecting component 21, and the clamping component 22 can move along the third direction Y.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the connection component 21 is configured to transmit the movement of the transmission component 13 to the clamping component 22, thereby driving the movement of the clamping component 22. In practical applications, as the driving member 31 drives the rotating gear 322 to move along the first direction Z, the movable rack 132 moves along the first direction Z, and the connection component 21 fixedly connected to the movable rack 132 also moves along the first direction Z, but one side of the connection component 21 is also movably connected to the guide hole 1111, thereby converting the movement of the movable rack 132 into a movement trajectory along the guide hole 1111, and further, the connection component 21 and the clamping component 22 are movably connected, and as the connection component 21 moves with the guide hole 1111, the clamping component 22 is flipped, and the clamping component 22 is configured to clamp a rod-shaped object, thereby realizing that the clamping component 22 drives the flipping of the rod-shaped object.

[0043] Furthermore, the arrangement in which the clamping assembly 22 can move along the third direction Y is used to clamp rod-shaped objects of different diameters, which has the beneficial effect of improving the compatibility of the clamping assembly 22 .

[0044] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the transmission assembly 13 also includes two guide rails 133 and a sliding member 134, the two guide rails 133 are fixedly connected to the two side panels 111 respectively, the guide rails 133 extend along a first direction Z, the sliding member 134 is slidably connected to the guide rails 133, and one end of the flipping device 20 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 134.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the setting of the guide rail 133 and the sliding member 134 is used to stabilize the movement of the flip device 20. At the same time, since one end of the flip device 20 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 134, and the other end of the flip device 20 is movably connected to the guide hole 1111, therefore, in practical applications, under the setting of the guide rail 133, the sliding member 134 and the guide hole 1111, the movement path of the flip device 20 is limited. The two guide rails 133 are respectively fixedly connected to the two side plates 111, and the guide rails 133 extend along the first direction Z, the sliding member 134 is slidably connected to the guide rails 133, and the flip device 20 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 134. In practical applications, when the flip device 20 moves along the guide hole 1111, the setting of the guide rail 133 and the sliding member 134 has the effect of limiting the movement trajectory of one end of the flip device 20 during the movement and preventing the flip device 20 from shaking and causing damage to the rod-shaped object.

[0046] Furthermore, the guide rail 133 and the guide hole 1111 have a certain offset in space along the second direction X. The offset is set to achieve different avoidance of certain structural components of the flipping device in the second direction X or in the thickness direction, such as avoiding the thickness of the flipping device. When the flipping device 20 moves along the guide hole 1111, the setting of the offset has the beneficial effect of achieving smooth flipping of the flipping device 20 and preventing insufficient margin from affecting the movement of the flipping device 20.

It should be noted that the fixing plate 214 may be provided with openings and / or washers to fix the ends of the rod-shaped object and prevent damage to the rod-shaped object.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the connection member 211 is provided to achieve the connection with the clamping assembly 22, and the connection member 211 is fixedly connected to the movable rack 132. As the movable rack 132 moves, the connection member 211 also moves with the movable rack 132. The fixed plate 214 is provided to provide support for the rod-shaped object clamped by the clamping assembly 22. The fixed plate 214 is provided with a first connection hole 2141 and a second connection hole 2142. The rotating shaft 212 is passed through the first connection hole 2141, the threaded shaft 213 is passed through the second connection hole 2142, and both ends of the threaded shaft 213 are passed through the guide holes 1111. The fixed plate 214 can rotate around the rotating shaft 212, but the movement path is also limited by the guide holes 1111. The rotating shaft 212 and the threaded shaft 213 are arranged parallel and opposite to each other, the rotating shaft 212 is passed through the connecting member 211, and both ends of the connecting member 211 are fixedly connected to the sliding member 134, so as to limit the movable path of the connecting member 211. It can be understood that the rotating shaft 212 is passed through the first connecting hole 2141 and the connecting member 211, that is, the connecting member 211 and the fixing plate 214 can both move with the rotating shaft 212 as the rotating shaft 212. The clamping assembly 22 is respectively penetrated through the rotating shaft 212 and the threaded shaft 213. When the driving member 31 drives the gear assembly 32 to move, the connecting member 211 moves along the first direction Z under the limiting guide of the sliding member 134, thereby driving the rotating shaft 212 to move along the first direction. The fixed plate 214 and the clamping assembly 22 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 212 also move with the movement of the rotating shaft 212 and can rotate with the rotating shaft 212 as the rotating axis. The clamping assembly 22 and the fixed plate 214 are also connected to the threaded shaft 213, and the two ends of the threaded shaft 213 are movably connected to the guide hole 1111. Under the limitation of the guide hole 1111 on the movement path of the threaded shaft 213, the clamping assembly 22 and the fixed plate 214 move along the path limited by the guide hole 1111 to drive the rod-shaped object to flip.

[0049] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the clamping assembly 22 includes two clamping members 221, a positive thread nut 222, a negative thread nut 223 and at least two rotating handles that are relatively arranged along a third direction Y, the two clamping members 221 are respectively sleeved on the two ends of the rotating shaft 212 and the threaded shaft 213, and the two clamping members 221 are clamped on both sides of the fixed plate 214; one clamping member 221 and the threaded shaft 213 are connected by the positive thread nut 222, and the other clamping member 221 and the threaded shaft 213 are connected by the negative thread nut 223; the two rotating handles are respectively connected to the two ends of the threaded shaft 213.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, two clamping members 221 arranged opposite to each other are used to clamp rod-shaped objects, and the setting of the orthogonal nut 222 and the anti-threaded nut 223 is used to adjust the distance between the two clamping members 221 arranged opposite to each other along the third direction Y, thereby clamping rod-shaped objects of different diameters. The setting of the two rotating handles is used to rotate the threaded shaft 213. In practical applications, the rotation of the rotating handle drives the threaded shaft 213 to rotate, and the orthogonal nut 222 and the anti-threaded nut 223 sleeved on the threaded shaft 213 and threadedly connected with the threaded shaft 213 can move along the threaded shaft 213. Due to the interaction between the orthogonal nut 222 and the anti-threaded nut 223 and the thread, when the threaded shaft 213 rotates, the orthogonal nut 222 and the anti-threaded nut 223 sleeved on the threaded shaft 213 move toward each other or move away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the two clamping members 221 to meet the technical effect of clamping rod-shaped objects of different diameters.

[0051] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the clamping member 221 includes a connecting portion 2211 and a clamping portion 2212, one end of the connecting portion 2211 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 212, and the other end of the connecting portion 2211 is sleeved on the positive thread nut or the negative thread nut 223; the clamping portion 2212 extends in a direction perpendicular to the connecting portion 2211 and away from the connecting portion 2211. It should be noted that the clamping portion 2212 may also include a clamping plate and a pad. In the case of actually clamping a rod-shaped object, the pad is in contact with the rod-shaped object, which has the function of preventing the rod-shaped object from being damaged.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping portion 2212 is used to clamp a rod-shaped object. The clamping portion 2212 extends in a direction perpendicular to the connecting portion 2211 in a direction away from the connecting portion 2211. The extended clamping portion 2212 can clamp a rod-shaped object with a longer length to improve the stability of clamping the rod-shaped object. The connecting portion 2211 is used to connect with the rotating shaft 212 and the threaded shaft 213. The connecting portion 2211 is used to clamp rod-shaped objects of different diameters. Since the connecting portion 2211 is connected to the threaded shaft 213 through a positive thread nut or a negative thread nut 223, and the threaded shaft 213 is rotated by rotating the handle, the connecting portion 2211 can move along the threaded shaft 213, and the spacing between the two relatively arranged connecting portions 2211 can be increased or decreased, so that rod-shaped objects of various diameters can be clamped.

[0053] In practical applications, the working process of the rod-shaped object transport device is described in detail by taking a crystal rod as an example to represent a rod-shaped object:

[0054] The rod-shaped object transport device mainly undergoes the process of taking the rod and transporting during operation. When the crystal rod needs to be taken, the flip device 20 and the moving device 10 are connected along the first direction Z, and the moving device 10 drives the driving device and the flip device 20 to move to the work station for taking the crystal rod. When taking the crystal rod, the clamping assembly 22 and the crystal rod are aligned and then grabbed. In order to better align with the crystal rod, the threaded shaft 213 can be rotated by rotating the handle, and the positive and negative thread nuts can be used to realize the movement of the two clamping members 221 to the two ends of the threaded shaft 213. After the crystal rod enters the clamping assembly 22, the handle is rotated in the opposite direction, and the positive and negative thread nuts are used to move the two clamping members 221 to the middle of the threaded shaft 213 to clamp and limit the crystal rod to prevent it from shaking. When the rod is taken out, the moving device 10 drives the driving device and the flipping device 20 to move to the crystal rod cooling area for temporary storage. When the crystal rod is cooled, the driving member 31 drives the gear assembly 32 to move, and the movable rack 132 moves along the first direction Z, thereby driving the connecting member 211 to move. The setting of the sliding member 134 and the guide rail 133 limits the movement trajectory of the connecting member 211, so that the connecting member 211 moves along the first direction Z. The movement of the connecting member 211 drives the rotating shaft 212 to move along the first direction Z, and the fixed plate 214 and the clamping assembly 22 that are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 212 also move with the movement of the rotating shaft 212, and the fixed plate 214 and the clamping assembly 22 can rotate with the rotating shaft 212 as the rotating axis. The fixed plate 214 and the clamping assembly 22 are also connected to the threaded shaft 213, and the two ends of the threaded shaft 213 are movably connected to the guide hole 1111. Under the limitation of the guide hole 1111 on the movement path of the threaded shaft 213, the clamping assembly 22 and the fixed plate 214 move along the path limited by the guide hole 1111 to drive the movement of the crystal rod, and realize the switching of the crystal rod from being connected to the moving device 10 along the first direction Z to being connected to the moving device 10 along the second direction X, and then the crystal rod is placed on a special transport vehicle.

[0055] In the above-mentioned process of taking the crystal rod, cooling the crystal rod and transporting the crystal rod, the rod-shaped object transport device in the embodiment of the present application realizes the movement of the crystal rod between various positions through the mobile device 10, and realizes the state switching between the vertical placement of the crystal rod and the horizontal placement of the crystal rod through the driving device and the flip device 20 and the cooperation with the mobile device 10, that is, the flip device 20 is connected to the mobile device 10 along the first direction Z and the flip device 20 is connected to the mobile device 10 along the second direction X. The state switching. The rod-shaped object transport device realizes the grasping, moving and placing, reduces the rotation of the crystal rod between multiple devices, and thus has the advantages of saving working hours, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. In addition, the transport device uses two racks of the transmission device to realize double the movement stroke, and the clamping assembly is provided with a retractable structure, which can realize the compatibility of clamping rod-shaped objects of different lengths and diameters; the transport device as a whole is small and light in the process of taking the rod, transporting and placing, and occupies a small space, which has the beneficial effects of improving the space utilization rate of the production workshop.
