DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in 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.

[0022] Reference Figure 1The OQC loading and unloading equipment shown in the figure includes a loading component, a unloading component, a code scanning component 30 and a transfer robot 40. The transfer robot 40 is connected to a second horizontal lateral drive source 41 and a vertical drive source 42. Several trays 70 loaded with products to be scanned can be stacked and placed on the loading component. After the code scanning component 30 scans the products to be scanned stacked on the top tray 70, the transfer robot 40 transfers and stacks the tray 70 to the unloading component. The code scanning component 30 then scans the products to be scanned at the loading component. Because the staff can stack several trays 70 on the loading component at one time, and after the scanning is completed The transfer robot 40 can automatically transfer the material tray 70 that has completed code scanning to the unloading component, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving production efficiency; specifically, the loading component includes a first lifting seat 11, and a plurality of material trays 70 loaded with products to be scanned are stacked and placed on the first lifting seat 11, and the first lifting seat 11 is connected to a first lifting drive source 12, and the unloading component includes a second lifting seat 21, and the second lifting seat 21 is used for stacking the material trays 70 that have completed code scanning, and the second lifting seat 21 is connected to a second lifting drive source 22. The code scanning component 30 is arranged above the first lifting seat 11, and the code scanning component 30 can be a conventional code scanner. The barcode scanning component 30 is connected to an external networked production system, and the barcode scanning component 30 is also connected to a first horizontal transverse driving source 31 and a horizontal longitudinal driving source 32. The first horizontal transverse driving source 31 and the horizontal longitudinal driving source 32 can be linked to drive the barcode scanning component 30 to move horizontally and horizontally above the first lifting seat 11, so that the barcode scanning component 30 can scan the products to be scanned stacked on the top material tray 70 one by one. After the scanning is completed, the first horizontal transverse driving source 31 and the horizontal longitudinal driving source 32 also drive the barcode scanning component 30 to leave the top of the first lifting seat 11 to avoid the transfer robot 40, so that the transfer robot 40 can transfer the stacked products. When the material tray 70 at the upper end is transferred to the second lifting seat 21, the first lifting drive source 12 drives the first lifting seat 11 and the material tray 70 stacked thereon to rise after the material is transferred, so that the distance between the code scanning component 30 and the material tray 70 stacked on the top is constant, ensuring that the code scanning component 30 can accurately scan the products on the material tray 70. After the transfer robot 40 transfers the material tray 70 to the second lifting seat 21, the second lifting drive source 22 drives the second lifting seat 21 and the material tray 70 thereon to descend to avoid the transfer robot 40, ensuring that the subsequent transfer robot 40 can stack the material tray 70 and place it on the upper end of the material tray 70 on the second lifting seat 21.

[0023] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in order to ensure that when the transfer robot 40 picks up the material tray 70 stacked at the top end of the first lifting seat 11, the material tray 70 adjacent to the top end will not be lifted up, the OQC loading and unloading equipment of the present application also includes two material blocking assemblies, and the two material blocking assemblies are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the first lifting seat 11. When the transfer robot 40 picks up the material tray 70 stacked at the top end, the two material blocking assemblies can be inserted between the two adjacent material trays 70 stacked at the top end to ensure that the transfer robot 40 only picks up one material tray 70 at a time.

[0024] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, the material blocking assembly includes a manual slide 51, a mounting block 52, a linear cylinder 53 and a material blocking piece 54. The mounting block 52 is arranged at the output end of the manual slide 51, the linear cylinder 53 is installed on the mounting block 52, and the material blocking piece 54 is connected to the output end of the linear cylinder 53. The linear cylinder 53 is used to drive the material blocking piece 54 to move horizontally or horizontally to insert the material blocking piece 54 between the two adjacent material trays 70 stacked at the top. The manual slide 51 can drive the mounting block 52 / material blocking piece 54 to move relative to the first lifting seat 11 so that the material blocking piece 54 can be aligned between the two adjacent material trays 70 stacked at the top.

[0025] In some embodiments, at least two adjacent sides of the first lifting seat 11 and / or the second lifting seat 21 are provided with limiting rods 66, and the limiting rods 66 can limit the sliding of the material tray 70 on the first lifting seat 11 / the second lifting seat 21 and position the material tray 70 on the first lifting seat 11 / the second lifting seat 21 to ensure that the transfer robot 40 can accurately take the material tray 70 from the first lifting seat 11 and accurately stack the material tray 70 on the second lifting seat 21; the limiting rods 66 can move horizontally or vertically to change the size of the area enclosed by all the limiting rods 66, and change the position of the material tray 70 relative to the first lifting seat 11 / the second lifting seat 21. Therefore, the first lifting platform / the second lifting platform of the present application can adapt to material trays 70 of different sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the OQC loading and unloading equipment.

[0026] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in order to reduce the design and manufacturing costs, the loading assembly and the unloading assembly can adopt the same structural design. This embodiment is explained by taking the loading assembly as an example. The loading assembly includes a fixed seat 60, and two first synchronization blocks 61 are arranged on the opposite sides of the fixed seat 60, and two second synchronization blocks 62 are arranged on the opposite sides. The two first synchronization blocks 61 are synchronously moved toward or away from each other through a first synchronization drive source 63, and the two second synchronization blocks 62 are synchronously moved toward or away from each other through a second synchronization drive source 64. A photoelectric sensor 65 is installed on one of the first synchronization blocks 61, and a limit rod 66 is installed on the other first synchronization block 61 and the two second synchronization blocks 62. When in use, the material tray 70 is positioned in the area enclosed by the three limit rods 66 on the first synchronization block 61 and the two second synchronization blocks 62, and the photoelectric sensor 65 is used to sense the material tray 70 to determine whether the material tray 70 is accurately positioned, so as to facilitate the transfer robot 40 to accurately pick up or stack the material tray 70.

[0027] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure that the limiting rod 66 can move relative to the first lifting seat 11 / the second lifting seat 21 to adjust the size of the area for positioning the material tray 70, the first lifting seat 11 and the second lifting seat 21 are further provided with waist holes 67 for allowing the limiting rod 66 to pass through.

[0028] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, the transfer robot 40 includes a suction cup 43 and a plurality of suction nozzles 44 installed vertically downward on the suction cup 43. The suction cup 43 is installed at the output end of the vertical driving source 42. The suction nozzles 44 can abut against the position on the material tray 70 where no product is placed, so as to suck up the material tray 70 as a whole and transfer it to the second lifting seat 21.

[0029] The above is only a specific implementation of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
