[0031] See also Figure 1 , the transfer mechanism 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is now described. The transfer mechanism 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to transfer a carrier 104, the carrier 104 is used to carry a workpiece, the transfer mechanism 10 includes a bracket 101, a driving component 102, a connecting component 103 and a control component 105, the carrier 104 is movably and detachably connected to the bracket 101; the driving component 102 includes a driving component 1021 and a driven component 1022, the driving component 1021 is disposed on the bracket 101, and the driving component 1021 is drivingly connected to the driven component 1022; The connecting member 103 is movably arranged on the carrier 104; the control component 105 is arranged on the bracket 101 or the carrier 104, the control component 105 drives the connecting member 103, and can drive the connecting member 103 to connect to the driven member 1022, or drive the connecting member 103 to disconnect from the driven member 1022; when the connecting member 103 is connected to the driven member 1022, the driven member 1022 is moved by the driving force of the driving member 1021, and can drive the carrier 104 to move through the connecting member 103.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the carrier 104 is used to carry the workpiece to be transported. After the control component 105 drives the connection component 103 to connect with the driven component 1022 of the driving component 102, the driving component 1021 is controlled to drive the driven component 1022 to move, and the driven component 1022 drives the carrier 104 to move through the connection component 103, so that the carrier 104 plays the role of transporting the workpiece. The driven component 1022 and the driving component 1021 can be two components connected by driving, that is, the driving component 1021 drives the driven component 1022 to drive the movement of the carrier 104. Of course, the driven part 1022 and the driving part 1021 can also be a component that meets the driving function required by the embodiment of the present application, such as a cylinder, a driving module, etc. that have a driving carrier 104 moving component. If so configured, the driven part 1022 can be understood as the driving end of the driving part 1021. For example, if the driving component 102 adopts a cylinder, the driving part 1021 is the cylinder body, and the driven part 1022 is the driving end of the cylinder.

[0033] Among them, after the carrier 104 is moved to the target position, the control component 105 is used to drive the control connecting member 103 to disconnect the driven member 1022 of the driving component 102, so that the driving relationship between the carrier 104 and the driving component 102 is disconnected, and the carrier 104 can be transferred to the next process, and the driven member 1022 of the driving component 102 can return to the initial position under the driving action of the driving member 1021 to be connected with the next carrier 104 and continue to be used for transportation; it can be understood that the carrier 104 adopts a transferable setting, that is, the connection direction between the carrier 104 and the bracket 101 is movable and detachable, and the movable connection can enable the carrier 104 to be driven, and the detachable connection can enable the carrier 104 to be transferred to the next process and used as a circulation conveyor. Of course, the carrier 104 and the bracket 101 of the transfer mechanism 10 can be directly connected or indirectly connected, as long as it can meet the requirements that the carrier 104 is driven and moved by the transfer mechanism 10.

[0034] It can also be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the carrier that has completed the transportation can also be reconnected to the driven part 1022 through the connecting part 103, so that the driven part 1021 drives the workpiece to be transferred to the position for loading the workpiece to be transferred for the transfer of the next workpiece, that is, the carrier 104 can be regarded as a part of the transfer mechanism 10, and is not used as a circulating carrier. The above two settings of the carrier 104 can be flexibly determined according to needs, and the structure of the driven part 1022 can be used as long as it meets the required connection relationship with the connecting part 103, without limitation.

[0035] Further, the connector 103 is movably arranged, and can realize the connection and disconnection between the carrier 104 and the driven component 1022 of the driving component 102 by driving the control component 105, so as to achieve the effect of flexibly controlling the driving connection relationship between the carrier 104 and the driving component 1021, so as to realize the flexible usability of the transfer mechanism 10 of the embodiment of the present application. The specific movable arrangement of the connector 103 can be movement, rotation, and any other arrangement that satisfies the adjustment of the connection and disconnection relationship, as long as the connector 103 can be controlled in an adjustable manner to realize the connection and disconnection between the carrier 104 and the driven component 1022 of the driving component 102. Of course, the connector 103 can also be movably arranged on the driven component 1022, so that the connector 103 and the carrier 104 can be connected, thereby realizing the connection and disconnection between the carrier 104 and the driven component 1022 of the driving component 102.

[0036] The control component 105 may be disposed only on the bracket 101, or only on the carrier 104, or on both the bracket 101 and the carrier 104, depending on the specific needs. Of course, if the connecting member 103 is movably disposed on the driven member 1022, the control component may also be disposed on the driven member 1022.

[0037] The driving component 102 of the above embodiment may also include a transmission member 1023, which drives and connects the driving member 1021 and the driven member 1022. The driving member 1021 drives the transmission member 1023, thereby driving the driven member 1022. The setting of the transmission member 1023 can be used to control the driving stroke of the driven member 1022 by the driving member 1021. According to the requirements of different driving strokes, the transmission member 1023 with different transmission strokes can be set accordingly.

[0038] Among them, the transmission member 1023 can be a transmission belt 1023, a transmission chain or a screw rod, etc. The embodiment of the present application takes the transmission belt 1023 with a closed connection at both ends as an example, and the driven member 1022 is arranged on the transmission belt 1023, taking a fixed setting as an example, and the driving component 102 can also include a driving wheel 1024 and a driven wheel 1025 rotatably arranged on the bracket 101, the transmission belt 1023 is coordinated with the driving wheel 1024 and the driven wheel 1025 for transmission, and the driving member 1021 is drivingly connected to the driving wheel 1024.

[0039] The driving member 1021 drives the driving wheel 1024 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission belt 1023 to operate, and the driven wheel 1025 rotates synchronously, and the transmission belt 1023 drives the driven member 1022 to move. The transmission belt 1023 is set as a toothed configuration, and the corresponding driving wheel 1024 and the driven wheel 1025 are set as gears, so that the transmission belt 1023 and the driving wheel 1024 and the driven wheel 1025 have higher transmission matching accuracy, which helps to improve the transmission accuracy. The use of the transmission belt 1023 configuration not only matures the relevant transmission technology, but also has a larger structural space for the transmission belt 1023, which is more convenient for the driven member 1022 to be set, and the implementation cost is low, and the transmission operation is convenient and the effect is high. Among them, the end-to-end closed transmission belt 1023 of the embodiment of the present application is used to establish a driving connection with the carrier 104 to provide a driving effect as an example.

[0040] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the transfer mechanism 10 may also include a tensioning assembly 109, the tensioning assembly 109 includes a mounting seat 1091 and a tensioning wheel 1092, the mounting seat 1091 is arranged on the bracket 101, the tensioning wheel 1092 is rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 1091, and the transmission belt 1023 away from the driven part 1022 side is transmitted and cooperated with the tensioning wheel 1092; the tensioning wheel 1092 can also be movably adjusted, and the tensioning wheel 1092 is moved and adjusted to tension the transmission belt 1023.

[0041] The mounting seat 1091 can be directly connected to the bracket 101 or indirectly connected to the bracket 101. Of course, the tensioning wheel 1092 can also be set on the bracket 101. The embodiment of the present application takes the mounting seat 1091 as the bearing structure of the tensioning wheel 1092 as an example. The tensioning wheel 1092 is rotatably set on the mounting seat 1091 and cooperates with the transmission belt 1023 to transmit the transmission belt 1023. It can be understood that the tensioning wheel 1092 is set between the driving wheel 1024 and the transmission wheel to transmit the transmission belt 1023 in the area between the driving wheel 1024 and the transmission wheel.

[0042] At the same time, the tension wheel 1092 is movably and adjustable relative to the transmission belt 1023. Specifically, when the mounting seat 1091 is fixedly connected to the bracket 101, the tension wheel 1092 is movably and adjustable on the mounting seat 1091; or the tension wheel 1092 is arranged on the mounting seat 1091 in a positioning and rotating manner, and the mounting seat 1091 is movably connected to the bracket 101. In the embodiment of the present application, the mounting seat 1091 is fixedly connected to the bracket 101, and the tension wheel 1092 is movably and adjustable on the mounting seat 1091 as an example, and the moving direction of the tension wheel 1092 is taken as an example to play an adjusting, pressing and tensioning role on the transmission belt 1023, and the specific moving and adjusting direction is not limited.

[0043] Among them, the tensioning wheel 1092 of the embodiment of the present application takes the transmission cooperation with the transmission belt 1023 away from the side of the carrier 104 as an example, that is, the tensioning wheel 1092 tensions the transmission belt 1023 on this side to tension the transmission belt 1023 as a whole. It can be understood that it has a tensioning effect on the transmission belt 1023 close to the side of the carrier 104, thereby helping to accurately drive the carrier 104.

[0044] See also Figure 2 Further, the tensioning assembly 109 of the above embodiment may also include a stopper 1093, which is arranged on the mounting seat 1091, and can also be arranged on the bracket 101. The stopper 1093 is adjustable along the width direction of the transmission belt 1023, and the transmission belt 1023 and the stopper 1093 are limited in the width direction of the transmission belt 1023. The limit cooperation is taken as an example of blocking along the width direction of the transmission belt 1023, so as to prevent the transmission belt 1023 from floating along the width direction and affecting the transmission accuracy. Similarly, the radial edges of the axial ends of the above-mentioned driving wheel 1024, the driven wheel 1025 and the tensioning wheel 1092 can also be set in radial protrusions, so that when they cooperate with the transmission belt 1023, the raised edges can play a role in limiting the width direction of the transmission belt 1023.

[0045] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the moving direction of the carrier 104 is defined as the first direction, specifically taking the horizontal direction as an example, which is denoted as X; the transmission belt 1023 is defined as being arranged for transmission along the first direction, and the bandwidth of the transmission belt 1023 is arranged along the vertical direction as an example, then the axial directions of the driving wheel 1024, the driven wheel 1025 and the tension wheel 1092 are arranged along the vertical direction respectively, so that the radial edge protrusions at both ends of the axial direction of the driving wheel 1024, the driven wheel 1025 and the tension wheel 1092 can play a role in limiting the vertical direction of the transmission belt 1023. Similarly, the limiting member 1093 is taken as an example in which two protrusions are arranged along the horizontal direction, and the two protrusions have a spacing in the vertical direction, and the spacing can accommodate the bandwidth of the transmission belt 1023. Of course, the spacing is preferably set to be slightly larger than the bandwidth of the transmission belt 1023, and the two protrusions are used to limit the vertical direction of the transmission belt 1023. It should be noted that the limiting member 1093 can be in cooperation with the transmission belt 1023 on the side away from the carrier 104, or can be in cooperation with the transmission belt 1023 on the side close to the carrier 104. The embodiment of the present application takes the limiting cooperation of the limiting member 1093 and the transmission belt 1023 on the side close to the carrier 104 as an example, while the transmission belt 1023 on the side away from the carrier 104 is taken as an example of limiting cooperation with the tensioning wheel 1092 with radial edge protrusions at both ends of the axial direction.

[0046] The transfer mechanism 10 of the embodiment of the present application may also be provided with a rotatable roller for supporting the transmission belt 1023 along the vertical direction. The roller may be provided on the mounting seat 1091 of the tensioning assembly 109, or may be provided on the bracket 101. The axial direction of the roller is perpendicular to the bandwidth direction of the transmission belt 1023. The rim of the roller is connected to the bottom of the bandwidth direction of the transmission belt 1023 to prevent the transmission belt 1023 from falling due to gravity or the like, and at the same time plays a transmission role.

[0047] It should be noted that the number of the tensioning assembly 109 , the limiting member 1093 and the rollers supporting the transmission belt 1023 in the above embodiment is not limited and can be determined according to the size of the transmission belt 1023 .

[0048] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 Further, the connecting member 103 in the above embodiment may include a connecting portion 1031 and a limiting portion 1032, the connecting portion 1031 and the limiting portion 1032 may be movably arranged on the carrier 104, the connecting portion 1031 may be connected to the driven member 1022, the connecting portion 1031 is provided with a first limiting surface 10311 and a second limiting surface 10312, the limiting portion 1032 may be respectively limited and matched with the first limiting surface 10311 and the second limiting surface 10312; the control component 105 includes a first control member 1051 and a second control member 1052, the first control member 1051 drives the connecting limiting portion 1032, The second control component 1052 drives the connecting portion 1031; when the connecting portion 1031 is driven by the second control component 1052 to be connected to the driven component 1022, the limiting portion 1032 is driven by the first control component 1051 to be limited and matched with the first limiting surface 10311 of the connecting portion 1031 to limit the movement of the connecting portion 1031; when the connecting portion 1031 is driven by the second control component 1052 to be disconnected from the driven component 1022, the limiting portion 1032 is driven by the first control component 1051 to be limited and matched with the second limiting surface 10312 of the connecting portion 1031 to limit the movement of the connecting portion 1031.

[0049] It can be understood that the connecting part 1031 of the connecting member 103 is driven by the second control member 1052 to move to connect with the driven member 1022, and the limiting part 1032 is controlled to move by the first control member 1051 to limit the connecting part 1031. That is, when the connecting part 1031 needs to be kept in a connected state or disconnected state with the driven member 1022, the limiting part 1032 is controlled to limit the connecting part 1031 to limit the movement of the connecting part 1031, thereby maintaining the corresponding state. Among them, when the connecting part 1031 moves to be connected with the driven part 1022, the limiting part 1032 can abut against the first limiting surface 10311 of the connecting part 1031 to limit the movement of the connecting part 1031 as an example; when the connecting part 1031 moves to be disconnected from the driven part 1022, the limiting part 1032 can abut against the second limiting surface 10312 of the connecting part 1031 to limit the movement of the connecting part 1031 as an example.

[0050] Specifically, the moving direction of the connection part 1031 is defined as the second direction, specifically taking the vertical direction as an example, which is denoted as Y. The connection member 103 is set above the driven member 1022 as an example, and the connection part 1031 is movably set in the vertical direction as an example. Specifically, the connection part 1031 is provided with a protrusion protruding vertically downward as an example, and the driven member 1022 is provided with a socket in the vertical direction as an example, and the protrusion and the socket can be plugged in the vertical direction. The moving direction of the limit part 1032 is defined as the third direction, specifically taking parallel to the first direction as an example, which is denoted as X1. Of course, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction can also have angles respectively, and all of them can meet the use conditions.

[0051] The first limiting surface 10311 and the second limiting surface 10312 are spaced apart along the second direction, wherein the first limiting surface 10311 is located above the second limiting surface 10312. When the connecting portion 1031 moves vertically downward to be plugged with the driven component 1022, the limiting portion 1032 moves horizontally to abut against the first limiting surface 10311 of the connecting portion 1031 along the vertical direction. At this time, the limiting portion 1032 is located above the first limiting surface 10311, which can be understood as being able to prevent the connecting portion 1031 from moving vertically upward. Similarly, when it is necessary When the connection part 1031 is to be disconnected from the driven part 1022, the limiting part 1032 is first controlled to move until the abutment with the first limiting surface 10311 is terminated, and then the connection part 1031 is moved vertically upward until it is removed from the socket of the driven part 1022, and then the limiting part 1032 is controlled to move horizontally until it abuts with the second limiting surface 10312 of the connection part 1031 in the vertical direction. At this time, the limiting part 1032 is located below the second limiting surface 10312, which can be understood as being able to prevent the connection part 1031 from moving vertically downward.

[0052] Further, the second control component 1052 of the above embodiment includes a first elastic portion 1052121, and the first elastic portion 10521 elastically connects the carrier 104 and the connecting portion 1031 along the second direction. When the movable limiting portion 1032 and the second limiting surface 10312 of the connecting portion 1031 are released from limiting cooperation, the first elastic portion 10521 can drive the connecting portion 1031 to move to connect with the driven component 1022; similarly, the first control component 1051 includes a second elastic portion 10511, and the second elastic portion 10511 elastically connects the limiting portion 1032 and the carrier 104 along the third direction. The second elastic portion 10511 can drive the limiting portion 1032 to move to limit cooperation with the connecting portion 1031.

[0053] The first elastic part 10521 and the second elastic part 10511 in the embodiment of the present application can be springs, tension springs, springs, and any other settings that can produce elastic effects and meet the requirements of the embodiment of the present application, specifically taking springs as an example. The elastic setting effect of the first elastic part 10521 can be understood as follows: when the connection part 1031 and the driven part 1022 are in a disconnected state, the first elastic part 10521 is always in an elastic state, and the elastic force direction of the first elastic part 10521 on the connection part 1031 in this state is vertically downward. At this time, when the adjustment limit part 1032 cancels the limit on the second limit surface 10312 of the connection part 1031, the first elastic part 10521 can drive the connection part 1031 to move downward to connect with the driven part 1022. Of course, at this time, the driven part 1022 needs to be driven to the vertical bottom of the connection part 1031. It should be noted that the first elastic portion 10521 can be set to always maintain an elastic state, or when the connection portion 1031 is connected to the driven member 1022, the first elastic portion 10521 is in a natural state to ensure that the connection portion 1031 is force-fitted firmly with the driven member 1022. Of course, when the connection portion 1031 needs to be disconnected from the driven member 1022, the elastic force of the first elastic portion 10521 needs to be overcome.

[0054] Similarly, the elastic setting effect of the second elastic part 10511 can be understood as that the limiting part 1032 is moved to the limiting state with the connecting part 1031 by the elastic force of the second elastic part 10511, that is, when the connecting part 1031 needs to be controlled to move, the limiting part 1032 needs to be controlled to overcome the elastic force of the second elastic part 10511 to release the limiting state of the connecting part 1031, and then after the movement adjustment of the connecting part 1031 is completed, the limiting part 1032 is released, so that the elastic force of the second limiting member 1093 acts on the limiting part 1032 to move to the limiting state with the connecting part 1031. It should be noted that the setting of the second elastic part 10511 can be to always maintain an elastic state, or when the limiting part 1032 is in limiting state with the connecting part 1031, the second elastic part 10511 is in a natural state to ensure that the limiting part 1032 is forced to be in place with the limiting state of the connecting part 1031.

[0055] See also Figure 3 Further, the first control member 1051 in the above embodiment may also include a first control portion 10512 arranged on the bracket 101, the first control portion 10512 can be moved close to or away from the limiting portion 1032, the first control portion 10512 is provided with an inclined surface inclined to the third direction, the limiting portion 1032 is provided with a rotatable first roller 10321, and the first roller 10321 can roll with the inclined surface of the first control portion 10512; move the first control portion 10512 so that the inclined surface of the first control portion 10512 rolls with the first roller 10321 to control the limiting portion 1032 to move along the third direction.

[0056] The first control unit 10512 of the embodiment of the present application can be an integrated structure or an assembled structure. Specifically, taking the first control unit 10512 including a driving sub-unit 110 and a controlling sub-unit 111 as an example, the driving sub-unit 110 is arranged on the bracket 101, and the driving sub-unit 110 is drivingly connected to the controlling sub-unit 111. The driving sub-unit 110 drives the controlling sub-unit 111 to move closer to or away from the limiting unit 1032. Specifically, the moving direction of the controlling sub-unit 111 is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction as an example, which is denoted as Z. At the same time, taking the example of the controlling sub-unit 111 moving closer to the limiting unit 1032 to cancel the limiting effect on the connecting unit 1031.

[0057] Specifically, the driving sub-unit 110 of the present application is implemented by taking a cylinder as an example, and of course, it can also be other driving settings that meet the driving requirements, and the control sub-unit 111 is taken as an example of a structure with a fixed shape such as a plate or a block, and the above-mentioned inclined surface is set on the control sub-unit 111. The driving sub-unit 110 drives the control sub-unit 111 to move toward the direction close to the limiting part 1032 until its inclined surface cooperates with the first roller 10321, and as the driving sub-unit 110 continues to drive the control sub-unit 111 to move, the first roller 10321 rolls along the inclined surface, thereby driving the limiting part 1032 to move away from the connecting part 1031 in the third direction. Moving away from the connecting part 1031 in the third direction overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic part 10511. When the limiting part 1032 moves to cancel the limiting effect on the connecting part 1031 When the state is reached, the driving sub-unit 110 is controlled to stop driving. At this time, the connection part 1031 can be adjusted and moved, and the connection part 1031 and the driven part 1022 can be adjusted or disconnected. After the connection part 1031 moves into position, the driving sub-unit 110 is controlled to drive the control sub-unit 111 to move in a direction away from the limiting part 1032. The limiting part 1032 gradually moves in a third direction toward the connection part 1031 under the elastic force of the second elastic part 10511 until it is limited by the connection part 1031. Therefore, the first control part 10512 in the embodiment of the present application can be used to automatically control the limiting part 1032 in cooperation with the second elastic part 10511.

[0058] Among them, the inclined surface on the control sub-section 111 of the first control section 10512 is inclined to the third direction of the movable setting of the limiting section 1032. It can be understood that a component direction of the inclined direction of the inclined surface is parallel to the third direction, thereby being able to drive the limiting section 1032 along the third direction.

[0059] Further, in the above embodiment, a rotatable second roller 10322 is provided at the limiting end of the limiting portion 1032 and the connecting portion 1031, and the connecting portion 1031 is provided with a limiting block 10313, and the two ends of the limiting block 10313 in the second direction are respectively a first limiting surface 10311 and a second limiting surface 10312, and the second roller 10322 and the limiting block 10313 can roll together; when the connecting portion 1031 moves to be connected with the driven part 1022, the second roller 10322 abuts against the first limiting surface 10311 along the second direction for limiting; when the connecting portion 1031 moves to be disconnected from the driven part 1022, the second roller 10322 abuts against the second limiting surface 10312 along the second direction for limiting.

[0060] The embodiment of the present application takes the rolling cooperation of the second roller 10322 provided on the limiting portion 1032 and the limiting block 10313 provided on the connecting portion 1031 as an example. The rolling contact between the second roller 10322 and the limiting block 10313 can not only help reduce wear, but also help to roll and guide the limiting cooperation to reduce the limiting cooperation resistance.

[0061] Specifically, when the driving sub-unit 110 of the first control unit 10512 drives the corresponding control sub-unit 111 to move toward the direction close to the limiting unit 1032 until its inclined surface cooperates with the first roller 10321, and as the driving sub-unit 110 continues to drive the control sub-unit 111 to move, the first roller 10321 rolls along the inclined surface, thereby driving the limiting unit 1032 to move away from the connecting unit 1031 along the third direction. The movement away from the connecting unit 1031 along the third direction overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic unit 10511. As the limiting unit 1032 moves, the second roller 10322 is on the first limiting surface 10311 or the second limiting surface 10313 of the limiting block 10313 of the connecting unit 1031. 12 rolls synchronously until the second roller 10322 and the limit block 10313 are critical along the third direction, that is, when the abutment between the second roller 10322 and the limit block 10313 along the second direction is cancelled, the connection part 1031 can be adjusted to move along the second direction. After the connection part 1031 moves into place, the driving sub-part 110 drives the control sub-part 111 to move in a direction away from the limit part 1032. The limit part 1032 gradually moves along the third direction toward the connection part 1031 under the elastic force of the second elastic part 10511. At the same time, the second roller 10322 rolls on the second limit surface 10312 or the first limit surface 10311 of the limit block 10313.

[0062] Among them, a chamfer is provided between the first limiting surface 10311 of the limiting block 10313 of the embodiment of the present application and the side of the limiting block 10313 close to the limiting portion 1032 along the third direction, and the chamfer may be a rounded angle or a right angle, etc., so as to guide the second roller 10322 to roll with the first limiting surface 10311. Similarly, a chamfer may also be provided between the second limiting surface 10312 of the limiting block 10313 and the side of the limiting block 10313 close to the limiting portion 1032 along the third direction, and the chamfer may be a rounded angle or a right angle, etc., so as to guide the second roller 10322 to roll with the second limiting surface.

[0063] See also Figure 4Similarly, the second control member 1052 in the above embodiment may also include a second control part 10522 arranged on the bracket 101, the second control part 10522 and the first control part 10512 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, the second control part 10522 can move closer to or away from the connecting part 1031, the first control part 10512 is provided with an inclined surface inclined to the second direction, the connecting part 1031 is provided with a rotatable third roller 10314, the third roller 10314 and the inclined surface of the second control part 10522 can be rollingly matched; move the second control part 10522 so that the inclined surface of the second control part 10522 is rollingly matched with the third roller 10314 to control the connecting part 1031 to move along the second direction.

[0064] It can be understood that the first control unit 10512 cooperates with the setting of the first elastic unit 10521 and the second elastic unit 10511 to automatically control the connection between the connecting unit 1031 and the driven part 1022, while the second control unit 10522 cooperates with the setting of the first elastic unit 10521 and the second elastic unit 10511 to automatically control the disconnection between the connecting unit 1031 and the driven part 1022. The first control unit 10512 is generally set corresponding to the starting end of the transportation of the transfer mechanism 10, and the second control unit 10522 is generally set corresponding to the ending end of the transportation of the transfer mechanism 10. The second control unit 10522 is used to disconnect the connecting unit 1031 from the driven part 1022, so that the carrier 104 can flow to the next process.

[0065] The second control unit 10522 of the embodiment of the present application can be an integrated structure or an assembled structure. Specifically, take the example that the second control unit 10522 also includes a driving sub-unit 110 and a control sub-unit 111. The driving sub-unit 110 is arranged on the bracket 101, and the driving sub-unit 110 is driven and connected to the control sub-unit 111. The driving sub-unit 110 drives the control sub-unit 111 to move closer to or away from the connecting part 1031. Specifically, the moving direction of the control sub-unit 111 is also perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. At the same time, take the example that the control sub-unit 111 moves close to the connecting part 1031 to disconnect it from the driven part 1022.

[0066] Specifically, the driving sub-unit 110 of the second control unit 10522 implemented in this application also takes a cylinder as an example, and of course it can also be other driving settings that meet the driving requirements, and the control sub-unit 111 of the second control unit 10522 takes a plate-shaped or block-shaped fixed structure as an example, and the inclined surface of the second control unit 10522 is set on the control sub-unit 111. The driving sub-unit 110 drives the control sub-unit 111 to move toward the direction close to the connecting part 1031 until its inclined surface cooperates with the third roller 10314, and as the driving sub-unit 110 continues to drive the control sub-unit 111 to move, the third roller 10314 rolls along the inclined surface, thereby driving the connecting part 1031 in the second direction away from the driven part 1022. It should also be noted that when the second roller 10322 set on the limiting part 1032 in the embodiment of the present application acts on the limiting block 10313 of the connecting part 1031, the second roller 10322 abuts against the first limiting surface. Taking the chamfered area between 10311 or the second limiting surface 10312 and the side of the limiting block 10313 close to the limiting part 1032 along the third direction as an example, when the connecting part 1031 is driven in the second direction and is able to move, the second roller 10322 can roll along the chamfered area between the first limiting surface 10311 and the side of the limiting block 10313 close to the limiting part 1032 along the third direction, so that the limiting part 1032 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic part 10511 to avoid it, so that the connecting part 1031 can be controlled by the second control part 10522 to automatically disconnect from the driven part 1022.

[0067] As the connecting part 1031 continues to move, when the second roller 10322 rolls to the limit position along the chamfer between the second limiting surface 10312 and the limiting block 10313 along the third direction close to the side of the limiting part 1032, that is, the abutment action of the second roller 10322 and the second limiting surface 10312 along the second direction can be used to limit the second direction of the connecting part 1031, the driving sub-part 110 of the second control part 10522 can be controlled to drive the corresponding control sub-part 111 away from the connecting part 1031. At this time, the carrier 104 is disconnected from the driven part 1022, and the carrier 104 can flow to the next process.

[0069] If the carrier 104 is a transferable device, the loading mechanism (not shown in the figure) can be used to transport the carrier 104 to the transfer mechanism 10; if the carrier 104 is not transferable, that is, it can only cooperate with the transfer mechanism 10, the loading mechanism (not shown in the figure) can also be used to transport the workpiece to the carrier 104. Similarly, if the carrier 104 is a transferable device, the unloading mechanism (not shown in the figure) can be used to move the carrier 104 away from the transfer mechanism 10; if the carrier 104 is not transferable, that is, it can only cooperate with the transfer mechanism 10, the unloading mechanism (not shown in the figure) can also be used to lower the workpiece away from the carrier 104.
