[0031] For ease of understanding, the pick-and-place mechanism in the embodiments of the present application will be described below. Please refer to Figure 1 , which is an embodiment of the pick-and-place mechanism in the embodiments of the present application, including a bracket 1, a first adsorption component 2, a second adsorption component 3, a flipping component 5, and a fine positioning component 4. The bracket 1 is used for rotatably connecting with an external manipulator. The first adsorption component 2 is arranged on the bracket 1. The first adsorption component 2 and the second adsorption component 3 are used for picking and placing materials. The fine positioning component 4 is used for finely positioning the materials at the first adsorption component 2. The flipping component 5 is used for driving the second adsorption component 3 to rotate so as to realize the flipping of the materials at the second adsorption component 3.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , the bracket 1 is provided with a turntable 11 for connecting with the rotating shaft of the external manipulator. The bracket 1 is fixedly connected with the turntable 11. The turntable 11 drives the bracket 1 to rotate under the action of the rotating shaft of the external manipulator, so as to realize the rotational cooperation between the bracket 1 and the external manipulator. Under the action of the turntable 11, the rotating module 51 and the first adsorption component 2 arranged on the bracket 1 rotate synchronously. Specifically, the bracket 1 is provided with a fixing member 12. One side of the fixing member 12 is fixedly connected with the bracket 1, and the other side of the fixing member 12 is used for connecting with the flipping component 5 to enhance the installation stability of the flipping component 5.

[0033] In order to avoid the flipping component 5, a connecting member 13 is arranged on the side wall of the bracket 1. One end of the connecting member 13 is fixedly connected with the bracket 1, and the other end is used for installing the first adsorption component 2. Specifically, the first adsorption component 2 includes a mounting plate 21 and at least one vacuum adsorption member 22. The vacuum adsorption member 22 can adopt a vacuum suction nozzle. The vacuum adsorption member 22 is detachably arranged on the mounting plate 21 through bolts. The mounting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting member 13 away from the bracket 1. Multiple groups of the first adsorption components 2 are arranged, and the multiple groups of the first adsorption components 2 are arranged side by side on the connecting member 13. In this embodiment, the multiple groups of the first adsorption components 2 are located on the same side of the connecting member 13 to enhance the adsorption force on the materials.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the flipping component 5 includes a rotating module 51. The rotating module 51 can adopt a rotating cylinder. The rotating module 51 is arranged at one end of the bracket 1, and one side of the rotating module 51 is fixedly connected with the fixing member 12. The rotating module 51 drives the second adsorption component 3 to flip so that the first adsorption component 2 is docked with the second adsorption component 3, and the materials at the second adsorption component 3 are flipped and picked and placed by the first adsorption component 2.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The precision positioning component 4 includes a positioning plug-in 41 for positioning the material and a lifting module 42 for lifting the positioning plug-in 41. The positioning plug-in 41 matches the positioning hole and / or positioning groove on the material. The positioning plug-in 41 is arranged on the lifting module 42, and the positioning plug-in 41 is perpendicular to the material at the first adsorption component 2 to adjust the distance between the positioning plug-in 41 and the material at the first adsorption component 2. The lifting module 42 drives the positioning plug-in 41 to slide and cooperate with the first adsorption component 2 to position the material at the first adsorption component 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the lifting module 42 is preferably a push cylinder, and the lifting module 42 is fixedly connected to the rotating module 51 through a connecting block 52. One side of the connecting block 52 is arranged at the output end of the rotating module 51, and the other side is fixedly connected to the lifting module 42. The rotating module 51 runs to drive the lifting module 42 to rotate synchronously.

[0037] Furthermore, in order to synchronously adjust the distance between the positioning plug-in 41 and the second adsorption component 3 and the first adsorption component 2, and to leave sufficient avoidance space for the positioning and flipping of the material, the second precision positioning component 4 also includes a connector 43, which is arranged at the output end of the lifting module 42, and the connector 43 is located on the side of the first adsorption component 2 away from the material, and there is an avoidance gap between the connector 43 and the first adsorption component 2. The connector 43 is provided with a first connection end 431 and a second connection end 432 which are parallel to each other, the positioning plug-in 41 is fixedly connected to the first connection end 431, the second adsorption component 3 is arranged at the second connection end 432, and the positioning plug-in 41 and the second adsorption component 3 are relatively arranged on both sides of the lifting module 42. Through the action of the connector 43, the positioning plug-in 41 and the second adsorption component 3 are synchronously lifted and lowered, providing the necessary space for the positioning plug-in 41 to slide toward the first adsorption component 2 for positioning, or for the second adsorption component 3 to flip the material.

[0038] In order to further enhance the accuracy of positioning, a plurality of positioning plug-ins 41 are provided, and the plurality of positioning plug-ins 41 are fixedly connected to the first connection end 431. The shapes and sizes of the plurality of positioning plug-ins 41 can be set to different types according to requirements to adapt to the positioning holes and / or positioning grooves of the material. In this embodiment, the centers of the positioning plug-ins 41 are located on the same straight line to position the two ends of the material, thereby enhancing the accuracy of positioning.

[0039] The end of the positioning plug 41 away from the connecting piece 43 is a guide portion 411, and the peripheral wall of the guide portion 411 is provided with a guide slope 412, which gradually converges toward the end of the positioning plug 41. When the positioning plug 41 is inserted into the positioning hole or positioning groove of the material, under the action of the guide slope 412, the material moves along the guide slope 412 so that the central axis of the positioning hole and / or positioning groove coincides with the central axis of the positioning plug 41, so as to achieve the precise positioning operation of the material.

[0040] In this embodiment, the structures of the first adsorption assembly 2 and the second adsorption assembly 3 are the same. The first adsorption assembly 2 has been described above as an example, and the specific structure of the second adsorption assembly 3 will not be elaborated here. Multiple groups of the second adsorption assembly 3 are provided, and the multiple groups of the second adsorption assembly 3 are arranged side by side on the connecting member 13. In this embodiment, the multiple groups of the second adsorption assembly 3 are located on the same side of the second connection end 432, and are used to enhance the adsorption force on the material.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the second adsorption assembly 3 sucks the material through the vacuum adsorber 22. The lifting module 42 drives the connecting member 43 to move away from the first adsorption assembly 2 to adjust the distance between the first adsorption assembly 2 and the second adsorption assembly 3, so that under the action of the rotating module 51, the first adsorption assembly 2 and the second adsorption assembly 3 are docked; the rotating module 51 drives the second adsorption assembly 3 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the material at the second adsorption assembly 3 is located between the first adsorption assembly 2 and the second adsorption assembly 3, and at the same time, the material at the second adsorption assembly 3 is flipped; the first adsorption assembly 2 sucks the material after the flipping is completed, and the second adsorption assembly 3 breaks the vacuum of the material after the flipping is completed, so that the second adsorption assembly 3 releases the adsorption on the material, and the rotating module 51 drives the second adsorption assembly 3 to rotate back to its original position, thereby realizing the flipping of the material.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the lifting module 42 drives the connecting member 43 to move away from the first adsorption assembly 2 to adjust the distance between the positioning plug 41 and the first adsorption assembly 2, so that sufficient space is reserved for the first adsorption assembly 2 to adsorb the material; the first adsorption assembly 2 sucks the material through the vacuum adsorber 22, the external manipulator drives the bracket 1 to rotate 180 degrees through the turntable 11, the positioning plug 41 rotates 180 degrees synchronously, and the connecting member 13 drives the first adsorption assembly 2 to rotate 180 degrees synchronously under the action of the bracket 1, so that the material adsorbed at the first adsorption assembly 2 is located above the first adsorption assembly 2 and the positioning plug 41; the first adsorption assembly 2 cooperates with the fine positioning assembly 4, and under the action of the lifting module 42, the positioning plug 41 moves towards the material at the first adsorption assembly 2, so that the positioning plug 41 is inserted into the material positioning hole to realize the initial positioning of the material; after the first adsorption assembly 2 breaks the vacuum, the material is released, and under the action of the guiding inclined surface 412 of the positioning plug 41, the central axis of the positioning plug 41 coincides with the central axis of the material positioning hole, thereby realizing the secondary fine positioning of the material.

[0043] This application integrates the operations of picking up, placing, flipping, and precisely positioning the material. The material is picked up by the first adsorption component 2 and cooperates with the precise positioning component 4. Under the action of the lifting module 42, the positioning plug 41 precisely positions the material. Under the action of the rotation module 51, the material at the second adsorption component 3 is flipped, so that the second adsorption component 3 is docked with the first adsorption component 2, completing the flipping, picking up, and placing of the material after the first surface processing. This application reduces the use of split-type positioning jigs and flipping jigs, simplifies the operation actions, makes the operation process convenient and rapid, and effectively improves the production efficiency.
