[0021] The technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0024] like Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the automatic placement and storage device for multi-sized panels described in this embodiment includes a base 1, a panel rack 2, a track structure 3 and a placement robot 4. The panel rack 2 includes a plurality of fixed columns 21 and a plurality of supporting rods 22. The plurality of fixed columns are arranged in parallel and at intervals with the base 1. The plurality of supporting rods 22 are distributed in an array with equal intervals on the plurality of fixed columns 21, so that a multi-layer storage plane is formed on the fixed columns 21 through the plurality of supporting rods 22. The track structure 3 is located on one side of the storage plane. The placement robot 4 is installed on the track structure 3 for placing or taking out panels.

[0025] This embodiment has a simple structure and a reasonable design, and can flexibly take, place and store plates of different lengths. Shorter plates occupy at least two supporting rods 22 positions, and longer plates occupy more supporting rods 22 positions, so the storage space utilization rate is high.

[0026] Specifically, the track structure 3 in this embodiment has a sliding track and a driving mechanism, which is used to drive the pick-and-place robot 4 to move its position thereon. It can adopt the direct drive of the motor in the prior art, or cooperate with the drag chain and other structures to achieve stable movement, and the conventional driving method can be selected.

[0027] In some embodiments, a processing table 5 is further included. A conveyor line 51 is provided on the processing table 5. The conveyor line 51 is located between the plate rack 2 and the pick-and-place robot 4 and is used to transport the plate.

[0028] Specifically, the conveying line 51 is configured as a roller conveying line.

[0029] Furthermore, the processing table 5 provided with the conveyor line 51 can be replaced with an AGV vehicle table, and the AGV vehicle table is located between the plate rack 2 and the pick-and-place robot 4 for transporting plates.

[0030] In this embodiment, by providing a roller conveyor line 51 or an AGV vehicle platform, the pick-and-place robot 4 can place the plate thereon for further transportation of the plate.

[0031] In some embodiments, the front and rear ends of the supporting rod 22 are respectively thickened to restrict the plate to the middle of the supporting rod 22 .

[0032] In this embodiment, by thickening the supporting rod 22 at the front and back, the supported plate is limited to be located in the middle of the supporting rod 22 to prevent the plate from sliding down. The structure is simple and practical.

[0033] In some embodiments, the supporting rod 22 extends from one side or both sides of the fixing column 21 to support the plate on one side or both sides of the fixing column 21 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the supporting rod 22 can be selectively set on one side of the fixed column 21, or extend from both sides of the fixed column 21 to achieve single-sided or double-sided supporting of the plate material. If a double-sided supporting plate material is set, two sets of track structures 3 and picking and placing robots 4 are required to respectively correspond to the plates on both sides for picking and placing.

[0035] In some embodiments, a fork arm 41 is provided at the front end of the pick-and-place robot 4 . The fork arm 41 is formed by at least two pick-and-place rods 411 arranged in the same horizontal plane, and the distance between adjacent pick-and-place rods 411 is the same as the distance between adjacent supporting rods 22 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the fork 41 is formed by the pick-up and placement rods 411, and the spacing between the pick-up and placement rods 411 is the same as the spacing between adjacent support rods 22, so that the fork 41 can be inserted into the gap between the support rods 22 of the plate rack 2. When taking a plate, the fork 41 moves to the gap between the support rods 22 and then moves upward to support the plate; when placing a plate, the fork 41 moves to the gap between the support rods 22 and then moves downward to place the plate.

[0037] On the basis of the above embodiment, specifically, the pick-and-place robot 4 includes at least two axes, which are used to drive the fork arm 41 to move up and down and forward and backward.

[0038] In this embodiment, the pick-and-place robot 4 may include at least two axes, which can enable the fork arm 41 to move up and down and forward and backward. The up and down movement is used to locate a certain layer of the plate rack 2, and the forward and backward movement is used to fork and place the plate.

[0039] The automatic picking and placing and storage device for multi-sized panels provided in the present application can independently pick up and place each panel by a picking and placing robot, and is particularly suitable for the management of non-standard panels, customized workpieces or different waste materials; the device picks up and places the panels by supporting the panels from below, which can avoid clamping the edges of the panels and thus prevent damage to the panels; the device has a simple structure, and the panel storage capacity can be scalably customized to achieve three-dimensional panel warehouses of different sizes; the device only transfers the panels in parallel, has low motion energy consumption, and has low requirements on the motion accuracy of the robot, which can effectively reduce production costs.

[0040] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
