For example, without departing from the scope of one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the first may also be referred to as the second, and similarly, the second may also be referred to as the first. Depending on the context, in this article, "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", etc. are only used to indicate the relative position relationship between related parts, rather than to limit the absolute position of these related parts.

[0032] The present disclosure provides a pick-and-place device, which can pick-and-place various targets such as mesh plates of core making machines. Specifically, the pick-and-place device includes a base, a swing arm assembly and a pick-and-place assembly; the swing arm assembly is hinged on the base, and the swing arm assembly is configured to rotate in a horizontal plane relative to the base; the pick-and-place assembly is hinged on the swing arm assembly, and is configured to rotate around the swing arm assembly in a vertical plane; with the hinge point between the pick-and-place assembly and the swing arm assembly as the boundary, the opposite sides of the pick-and-place assembly are respectively recorded as an input side and a pick-and-place side; the input side is configured to be forced to rotate downward, and the pick-and-place side is configured to lift the target located at a first predetermined position; and the input side is configured to be forced to rotate upward, and the pick-and-place side is configured to place the target to a second predetermined position.

[0033] During the use of the pick-and-place device of the present invention, when it is necessary to pick up a target object located at a first predetermined position, the operator can hold the input side of the pick-and-place device by hand, and pull the swing arm assembly by pulling the input side of the pick-and-place assembly, thereby utilizing the swing arm assembly to move in a horizontal plane relative to the base, thereby moving the pick-and-place side of the pick-and-place assembly to the first predetermined position, and then forcefully rotate the input side downward, so that the pick-and-place side lifts the target object located at the first predetermined position, thereby completing the picking process; when it is necessary to place the target object on the pick-and-place side at a second predetermined position, the operator can hold the input side of the pick-and-place device by hand, and pull the swing arm assembly by pulling the input side of the pick-and-place assembly, thereby utilizing the swing arm assembly to move in a horizontal plane relative to the base, thereby moving the pick-and-place side of the pick-and-place assembly to the second predetermined position, and then forcefully rotate the input side upward, thereby placing the target object on the pick-and-place side at the second predetermined position, thereby completing the placing process, and then the pick-and-place device of the present invention can be restored to its original position, thereby facilitating the next target picking and placing work.

[0034] It can be seen that using the pick-and-place device disclosed in the present invention to pick up and place target objects can effectively reduce the distance the operator's arm moves, and the picking and placing of objects can be achieved by rotating the input side up and down, which can make the picking and placing process more labor-saving, effectively reduce the pressure on various parts of the operator's body, and save the time required for the picking and placing process, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the picking and placing process.

[0035] For ease of understanding, refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the specific structure and working principle of the pick-and-place device disclosed in the present invention are explained in detail in combination with an embodiment.

[0036] The core making machine is a device used to make sand cores in the foundry field. A mesh plate is set inside the core making machine. During the operation of the core making machine, sand will remain on the mesh plate. Therefore, the mesh plate needs to be cleaned regularly. Since the structure of the core making machine is relatively compact, the mesh plate is located inside the core making machine and is relatively low. In each process of taking and placing the mesh plate, the operator not only needs to bend down, but also needs to raise his arms to expand the coverage of his hands to grasp the mesh plate. This operation will cause great pressure on the operator's shoulders, and the bending and arm raising operations will take extra time, which will also affect the operating efficiency.

[0037] According to simulation tests, when the operator takes and places the mesh plate of the core making machine by hand, the operator needs to bend over and lift his arms to a large extent, which puts greater pressure on the shoulders, elbows and back, especially the shoulders. The shoulder pressure is 5.3, the elbow pressure is 1.7, the back pressure is 1.6, and the overall body pressure is 8.6.

[0038] In order to overcome the above technical problems, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present disclosure provides a pick-and-place device, which can pick-and-place various targets such as mesh plates of core making machines. Specifically, the pick-and-place device includes a base 1, a swing arm assembly 2, and a pick-and-place assembly 3. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the base 1 can be fixedly set on a horizontal bearing surface such as a floor, and in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the base 1 can also be set on a vertical bearing surface such as a column, which is not limited here.

[0039] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the swing arm assembly 2 is hinged on the base 1, and the swing arm assembly 2 is constructed to rotate in a horizontal plane relative to the base 1. The pick-and-place assembly 3 is hinged on the swing arm assembly 2, and is constructed to rotate around the swing arm assembly 2 in a vertical plane. Wherein, with the hinge point between the pick-and-place assembly 3 and the swing arm assembly 2 as the boundary, the opposite sides of the pick-and-place assembly 3 are respectively recorded as the input side 31 and the pick-and-place side 32; the input side 31 is constructed so that when it is forced to rotate downward, the pick-and-place side 32 is constructed to lift the target object located at the first predetermined position; and when the input side 31 is constructed so that it is forced to rotate upward, the pick-and-place side 32 is constructed to place the target object to the second predetermined position.

[0040] During the use of the pick-and-place device disclosed in the present invention, when it is necessary to pick up a target object located at the first predetermined position, the operator can hold the input side 31 of the pick-and-place device, and pull the swing arm assembly 2 by pulling the input side 31 of the pick-and-place assembly 3, so that the swing arm assembly 2 moves in a horizontal plane relative to the base 1, thereby moving the pick-and-place side 32 of the pick-and-place assembly 3 to the first predetermined position, and then forcefully rotate the input side 31 downward, so that the pick-and-place side 32 lifts the target object located at the first predetermined position, and the picking process is completed; when it is necessary to lift the target object on the pick-and-place side 32 When the object is placed in the second predetermined position, the operator can hold the input side 31 of the pick-and-place device, and pull the swing arm assembly 2 by pulling the input side 31 of the pick-and-place assembly 3, so as to use the swing arm assembly 2 to move in the horizontal plane relative to the base 1, thereby moving the pick-and-place side 32 of the pick-and-place assembly 3 to the second predetermined position, and then forcefully rotate the input side 31 upward to place the target object on the pick-and-place side 32 to the second predetermined position, completing the object placement process, and then the pick-and-place device of the present disclosure can be restored to its original position to facilitate the next target object picking and placement work.

[0041] It can be seen that using the pick-and-place device disclosed in the present invention to pick up and place the target object can effectively reduce the distance the operator's arm moves, and the picking and placing of the object can be achieved by rotating the input side 31 up and down, which can make the picking and placing process more labor-saving, effectively reduce the pressure on various parts of the operator's body, and save the time required for the picking and placing process, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the picking and placing process.

[0042] Specifically, in the mesh plate structure of a common core making machine, the mesh plate is usually provided with a handle portion extending upward in the vertical direction, and the handle portion is mostly umbrella-shaped or T-shaped. Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the picking and placing device is constructed to be used for picking and placing the mesh plate in the core making machine; a fork groove 321 is provided on the picking and placing side 32 of the picking and placing assembly 3; the picking and placing side 32 is constructed to fork the handle portion extending in the vertical direction on the mesh plate during the movement from the low position to the high position, and to lower the handle portion on the mesh plate during the movement from the high position to the low position.

[0043] In the process of taking and placing the mesh plate by the pick-and-place device disclosed in the present invention, when it is necessary to take the mesh plate located at the first predetermined position, the operator can hold the input side 31 of the pick-and-place device, and pull the swing arm assembly 2 by pulling the input side 31 of the pick-and-place assembly 3, so that the swing arm assembly 2 is used to move in the horizontal plane relative to the base 1, so as to move the pick-and-place side 32 of the pick-and-place assembly 3 to the first predetermined position, and align the fork groove 321 of the pick-and-place side 32 with the handle portion extending in the vertical direction on the mesh plate, and then forcefully rotate the input side 31 downward, so that the pick-and-place side 32 moves from a low position to a high position, and use the fork groove 321 of the pick-and-place side 32 to fork the handle portion extending in the vertical direction on the mesh plate, thereby completing the process of taking the mesh plate; when it is necessary to When the mesh plate on the picking and placing side 32 is placed in the second predetermined position, the operator can hold the input side 31 of the picking and placing device, and pull the swing arm assembly 2 by pulling the input side 31 of the picking and placing assembly 3, so as to use the swing arm assembly 2 to move in the horizontal plane relative to the base 1, thereby moving the picking and placing side 32 of the picking and placing assembly 3 to the second predetermined position, and then forcefully rotate the input side 31 downward to move the picking and placing side 32 from a low position to a high position, and use the fork groove 321 of the picking and placing side 32 to drop the handle on the mesh plate, thereby placing the mesh plate on the picking and placing side 32 to the second predetermined position, completing the mesh plate placement process, and then the picking and placing device of the present disclosure can be restored to its original position, so as to facilitate the next mesh plate picking and placing work.

[0044] By using the pick-and-place device disclosed in the present invention to pick up and place the mesh plate, the distance the operator's arm moves can be effectively reduced. The items can be picked up and placed by rotating the input side 31 up and down, which can make the pick-and-place process more labor-saving, effectively reduce the pressure on various parts of the operator's body, save time required for the pick-and-place process, and improve the operating efficiency of the pick-and-place process.

[0045] According to simulation tests, when the operator uses the pick-and-place device disclosed in the present invention to pick up and place the mesh plate of the core making machine, the operator does not need to bend down or raise his arms to a large extent, and can complete the task by operating the pick-and-place device in a very convenient posture. The pressure on the shoulders, elbows and back is reduced, especially the pressure on the shoulders is greatly reduced, with the shoulder pressure being 1.2, the elbow pressure being 0.2, the back pressure being 0.4, and the overall body pressure being 1.8. Moreover, the pick-and-place device disclosed in the present invention can improve the operating efficiency of the pick-and-place process on the basis of facilitating the operator's operation, and each pick-and-place process can be reduced by about 10 seconds.

[0046] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the picking and placing side 32 is provided with a first fork and a second fork, a fork groove 321 is formed between the first fork and the second fork, and the end of the first fork and the end of the second fork are both provided with a bending portion 322 that bends upward, so that when the handle portion of the mesh plate is located above the first fork and the second fork, the bending portion 322 can prevent the pressure-bearing portion from sliding off from the end of the first fork and the end of the second fork, and when picking and placing the mesh plate, it is only necessary to rotate the picking and placing state in the vertical direction by a certain angle using the input side 31 during the process of moving the picking and placing component 3, so that the handle portion of the mesh plate can be moved to the horizontal section 323 of the first fork and the second fork, or the handle portion of the mesh plate can be slid from the bending portion 322 of the first fork and the second fork to the horizontal section 323.

[0047] The specific structure of the swing arm assembly 2 can be set as required. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the swing arm assembly 2 includes at least two swing arms hinged to each other, the first swing arm is constructed to be hinged on the base 1, and the pick-and-place assembly 3 is constructed to be hinged on the last swing arm. Since the swing arm assembly 2 includes at least two swing arms hinged to each other, the first swing arm is hinged on the base 1, and the pick-and-place assembly 3 is hinged on the last swing arm, the pick-and-place assembly 3 can rotate in a horizontal plane relative to the base 1 by using the swing arm assembly 2, so that the pick-and-place side 32 can move to the first predetermined position and the second predetermined position to perform the pick-and-place operation.

[0048] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the swing arm assembly 2 includes a first swing arm 21 and a second swing arm 22 that are hinged to each other, one end of the first swing arm 21 is hinged to the base 1, and the pick-and-place assembly 3 is constructed to be hinged to the second swing arm 22; the second swing arm 22 is constructed to be able to rotate toward the first swing arm 21 to a folded state, and to be able to rotate away from the first swing arm 21 to an open state. It can be understood that since the pick-and-place assembly 3 is hinged to the second swing arm 22, the first swing arm 21 and the second swing arm 22 are hinged to each other, and the first swing arm 21 is hinged to the base 1, in this way, after the second swing arm 22 is rotated to the open state, and the first swing arm 21 is rotated relative to the base 1, the pick-and-place assembly 3 can be rotated in a horizontal plane relative to the base 1, so that the pick-and-place side 32 can move to the first predetermined position and the second predetermined position, and the overall structure is relatively simple. When the second swing arm 22 can be rotated toward the first swing arm 21 to a folded state, the overall occupied volume of the swing arm assembly 2 can be effectively reduced, saving space, and also preventing the swing arm assembly 2 and the pick-and-place assembly 3 from affecting the normal operation of other equipment such as the core making machine.

[0049] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the swing arm assembly 2 may include three or more swing arms hinged to each other, so that the movement of the pick-and-place assembly 3 of the present disclosure can be more flexible. The specific structure is similar to the structure of the above-mentioned swing arm assembly 2 including two swing arms, and will not be repeated here.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a connection portion 211 extending toward a side away from the base 1 is provided at the end of the first swing arm 21; the second swing arm 22 is hinged on the connection portion 211, and is configured to be able to rotate toward the first swing arm 21 to be parallel to the first swing arm 21. Since the connection portion 211 at the end of the first swing arm 21 extends toward a side away from the base 1, the second swing arm 22 is hinged on the connection portion 211, and after the second swing arm 22 rotates toward the first swing arm 21 to be parallel to the first swing arm 21, the overall outline of the second swing arm 21 can be square, so as to further save space and facilitate storage.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a rotating portion 23 is provided on the second swing arm 22, and the rotating portion 23 is configured to be rotatably provided on the second swing arm 22 in the horizontal direction; the pick-and-place assembly 3 is hinged on the rotating portion 23, and is configured to move in a vertical plane relative to the rotating portion 23. Since the rotating portion 23 is rotatably provided on the second swing arm 22 in the horizontal direction, the pick-and-place assembly 3 is hinged on the rotating portion 23, and can move in a vertical plane relative to the rotating portion 23, the pick-and-place assembly 3 can be rotated up and down in the vertical plane relative to the second swing arm 22, and can be rotated left and right in the horizontal direction, so that the movement of the pick-and-place assembly 3 can be more free, and the pick-and-place operation is convenient.

[0052] In order to facilitate the storage of the pick-and-place device disclosed in the present invention, the swing arm assembly 2 and the pick-and-place assembly 3 are prevented from swinging randomly when the pick-and-place device disclosed in the present invention is not in use, thereby affecting the normal operation of other devices. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the picking and placing device of the present disclosure also includes a locking mechanism arranged on the base 1, and the locking mechanism includes a support portion 41 and a locking member 42, wherein the support portion 41 is configured to support the picking and placing side 32 at a predetermined height when the swing arm assembly 2 is rotated to a folded state; the locking member 42 is hinged on the support portion 41, and is configured to be able to flip over to lock the picking and placing side 32 on the support portion 41, and flip over to release the picking and placing side 32.

[0053] In this way, when the pick-and-place device of the present invention is not needed, the second swing arm 22 can be rotated toward the first swing arm 21 to a folded state, and after the pick-and-place side 32 is at a predetermined height, the pick-and-place side 32 can be moved to the top of the support portion 41, and the pick-and-place side 32 is supported by the support portion 41; the locking member 42 can be flipped on the support portion 41 to lock the pick-and-place side 32 on the support portion 41, and the pick-and-place device of the present invention is automatically locked, which can effectively reduce the overall occupied volume of the swing arm assembly 2 and save space, and can also prevent the swing arm assembly 2 and the pick-and-place assembly 3 from affecting the normal operation of other equipment such as the core making machine. When the pick-and-place device of the present invention is needed, it is only necessary to flip the locking member 42 to release the pick-and-place side 32, so that the pick-and-place side 32 can be moved out from the support portion 41, and the pick-and-place device of the present invention can be used normally for pick-and-place work.

[0054] It is understandable that the base 1 can be provided with relevant structures to simultaneously support the rocker arm assembly and the locking mechanism, and the specific structure is not limited; and in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the rocker arm assembly and the locking mechanism can also be respectively provided on different base 1 structures, which is not limited here.

[0055] Among them, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the support portion 41 is configured to extend in a horizontal plane, a hinge seat 43 is provided on the support portion 41, and the locking member 42 includes a shielding portion 421 hinged on the hinge seat 43, and the shielding portion 421 is configured to be able to flip in the direction of the pick-and-place side 32 to the outer position of the pick-and-place side 32. That is, after the pick-and-place side 32 moves to the top of the support portion 41, the shielding portion 421 can flip in the direction of the pick-and-place side 32 to the outer position of the pick-and-place side 32, blocking the pick-and-place side 32 from moving outward, thereby automatically locking the pick-and-place device of the present disclosure on the support portion 41.

[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a protrusion 422 is provided on the shielding portion 421 and is arranged at an angle to the shielding portion 421. The protrusion 422 is hinged on the hinge seat 43, and the protrusion 422 is constructed to extend in a direction away from the shielding portion 421 relative to its hinge point; after the shielding portion 421 rotates to leave the movement path of the pick-and-place side 32, the protrusion 422 moves with it to push the pick-and-place side 32 outward a predetermined distance; the pick-and-place side 32 is constructed to be able to move along the end surface of the support portion 41 to push the protrusion 422 to move, so that the shielding portion 421 is flipped to the outer position of the pick-and-place side 32.

[0057] That is, when the pick-and-place device of the present disclosure is needed, when the operator flips the locking member 42, the blocking portion 421 will rotate to leave the movement path of the pick-and-place side 32, so that the blocking portion 421 will not block the outward movement of the pick-and-place side 32, and the protruding portion 422 will follow and push the pick-and-place side 32 outward by a predetermined distance, thereby pushing the pick-and-place side 32 out from above the support portion 41. When the pick-and-place device of the present disclosure is not needed, when the operator moves the pick-and-place side 32 along the end surface of the support portion 41, the protruding portion 422 can be pushed inward, thereby driving the blocking portion 421 to flip to the outer position of the pick-and-place side 32, thereby locking the pick-and-place side 32 on the support portion 41, and the operator does not need to manually lock the pick-and-place device of the present disclosure, which is more convenient.

[0058] It is understandable that if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the shielding portion 421, the protruding portion 422, the supporting portion 41, and the hinge seat 43 enclose a locking opening 44 for locking the access side 32; the shielding portion 421 and the protruding portion 422 are configured to be able to rotate relative to the hinge to open or close the locking opening 44. The shielding portion 421, the protruding portion 422, the supporting portion 41, and the hinge seat 43 together enclose the locking opening 44, which can effectively limit the movement of the access side 32 and prevent the access assembly 3 from shaking freely; the shielding portion 421 and the protruding portion 422 can rotate relative to the hinge to open or close the locking opening 44, thereby facilitating the access side 32 to enter and exit the locking opening 44, and the shielding portion 421 and the protruding portion 422 are used to drive the access side 32 to move.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, an extension portion 423 is provided on the shielding portion 421 relative to the protruding portion 422, and the extension portion 423 is configured to abut against a side of the hinge seat 43 above the locking hole 44 away from the locking hole 44 when the shielding portion 421 is rotated to open the locking hole 44, and to make the protruding portion 422 located in the locking hole 44 and extend in an inclined direction. In this way, it is convenient for the operator to use the pick-and-place side 32 to push the protruding portion 422 inward during the process of moving the pick-and-place side 32 along the end surface of the support portion 41, thereby driving the shielding portion 421 to flip to the outer position of the pick-and-place side 32.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a toggle portion 424 is further provided on the locking member 42; when the picking and placing device of the present disclosure needs to be used, the operator can hold the toggle portion 424 to flip the locking member 42 to release the picking and placing side 32, and then move the picking and placing side 32 out of the support portion 41, and use the picking and placing device of the present disclosure normally to perform picking and placing work.
