[0059] The present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation manners. It can be understood that the specific implementation manners described herein are only used to explain the relevant content and do not limit the present disclosure. Additionally, it should be noted that for the sake of description, only the parts related to the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0060] It should be noted that, without conflict, the implementation manners and features in the implementation manners of the present disclosure can be combined with each other. The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation manners.

[0061] Unless otherwise specified, the exemplary implementation manners / embodiments shown will be understood to provide exemplary features of various details of some ways that can implement the technical concept of the present disclosure in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, without departing from the technical concept of the present disclosure, the features of various implementation manners / embodiments can be additionally combined, separated, interchanged, and / or rearranged.

[0062] In the drawings, the use of hatching and / or shading is generally used to make the boundaries between adjacent components clear. Thus, unless stated otherwise, the presence or absence of hatching or shading does not convey or imply any preference or requirement for the specific material, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonality between the components shown, and / or any other characteristics, attributes, properties, etc. of the components. In addition, in the drawings, for clarity and / or descriptive purposes, the dimensions and relative dimensions of components may be exaggerated. When exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, the specific process sequences may be performed in an order different from that described. For example, two consecutively described processes may be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to that described. In addition, the same reference numerals denote the same components.

[0063] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "above" another component, "connected to" or "coupled to" another component, the component can be directly on the other component, directly connected to or directly coupled to the other component, or there may be intervening components. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on" another component, "directly connected to" or "directly coupled to" another component, there are no intervening components. For this reason, the term "connected" can refer to physical connection, electrical connection, etc., and with or without intervening components.

[0064] For descriptive purposes, the present disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as "under", "below", "beneath", "lower", "above", "upper", "on", "over", "higher", and "side (e.g., as in "sidewall") to describe the relationship of one component to another (other) component as shown in the drawings. In addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawing is flipped, a component described as being "under" or "beneath" another component or feature will then be positioned "above" the other component or feature. Thus, the exemplary term "under" can encompass both the "above" and "below" orientations. In addition, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and accordingly, the spatial relative descriptors used herein are to be interpreted.

[0065] The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and are not intended to be limiting. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are also intended to include the plural forms. In addition, when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" and their variants are used in this specification, it is stated that there are the stated features, integers, steps, operations, components, assemblies and / or groups thereof, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, components, assemblies and / or groups thereof. It should also be noted that, as used herein, the terms "substantially", "about" and other similar terms are used as approximate terms and not as terms of degree, so that they are used to explain the inherent deviations of measured values, calculated values and / or provided values that would be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0066] Figure 1 is a schematic structural view of a storage device 800 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 is a schematic structural view of the storage device 800 from another angle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 is a partial schematic structural view of the storage device 800 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 is Figure 3 an enlarged schematic view of part A of Figure 5 is a schematic structural view of an unlocking assembly 870 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0067] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the material collection device of the present disclosure may include components such as a storage device 800 and an unlocking device 900. In use, the storage device 800 and the unlocking device 900 can be fixed to the same device, for example, simultaneously fixed to an AGV device or the like, so that the material collection device of the present disclosure can collect unqualified products generated at different positions of an automated production line.

[0068] Specifically, when unqualified products are generated at different positions of the automated production line of the present disclosure, the AGV device can be controlled to move to the vicinity of the unqualified products, and devices such as a robotic arm can transfer the carrier loaded with unqualified products from the automated production line to the storage device 800 and temporarily store them in the storage device 800. When the storage device 800 stores a preset number of carriers, the storage device 800 can be controlled to move to the unloading station, and at this unloading station, the carriers and unqualified products in the storage device 800 can be transported to a designated position by devices such as a robotic arm.

[0069] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the storage device 800 of the present disclosure is configured to store materials, and the storage device 800 may include components such as a base 810, a first wall panel 820, a second wall panel 830, a first partition 840, a second partition 850, a cover plate 860, and a lock assembly 870.

[0070] When the material collection device of the present disclosure is in use, the base 810 can be fixed to the AGV device. Thus, the AGV device can move the storage device 800 to a preset position. In the present disclosure, the base 810 can be set horizontally or substantially horizontally.

[0071] Both the first wall panel 820 and the second wall panel 830 are disposed on the base 810; specifically, the first wall panel 820 and the second wall panel 830 are disposed in parallel. For example, both the first wall panel 820 and the second wall panel 830 are disposed vertically, so that materials can be stored between the first wall panel 820 and the second wall panel 830.

[0072] In the present disclosure, the distance between the first wall panel 820 and the second wall panel 830 can be determined according to the size of the carrier, and details are not elaborated herein one by one.

[0073] The first wall panel 820 is provided with a plurality of first partitions 840, and the first partitions 840 are disposed horizontally; the second wall panel 830 is provided with a plurality of second partitions 850, and the second partitions 850 are disposed horizontally. At the same height, one first partition 840 and one second partition 850 are provided. Thus, a carrier can be jointly supported by the first partition 840 and the second partition 850 at the same height.

[0074] Specifically, the plurality of first partitions 840 can be evenly distributed along the vertical direction. Correspondingly, the plurality of second partitions 850 can also be evenly distributed along the vertical direction, and these first partitions 840 and second partitions 850 can be disposed in one-to-one correspondence in the horizontal direction. Correspondingly, when the carrier is supported by the first partitions 840 and the second partitions 850, the carrier can be in a substantially horizontal state.

[0075] The cover plate 860 is disposed at the upper ends of the first wall panel 820 and the second wall panel 830. Thus, the storage device 800 of the present disclosure can form a frame structure. That is, the lower ends of the first wall panel 820 and the second wall panel 830 are fixed to the base 810.

[0076] The lock assembly 870 can be driven to be in an open position or a closed position. Wherein, when the lock assembly 870 is in the open position, materials can be placed in the storage device 800 or taken out from the storage device 800; when the lock assembly 870 is in the closed position, the materials are restricted in position within the storage device 800.

[0077] In a specific embodiment, the lock assembly 870 includes: a door member 871 and a lock member 872.

[0078] The door member 871 is rotatably disposed on the first wall panel 820 or the second wall panel 830; thereby, by rotating the door member 871, the lock assembly 870 can be in an open position or a closed position. In a specific embodiment, the door member 871 is disposed on the first wall panel 820 or the second wall panel 830 through a hinge. Preferably, a torsion spring can be disposed in the hinge, whereby the door member 871 can move from the closed position to the open position by the elastic force of the torsion spring. That is to say, when the lock member 872 no longer locks the door member 871, the door member 871 can automatically open.

[0079] The lock member 872 is disposed on the first wall panel 820 or the second wall panel 830. When the lock member 872 locks the door member 871, the door member 871 is in the closed position; when the lock member 872 releases the door member 871, the door member 871 is in the open position.

[0080] In particular, in the same lock assembly 870, both the door member 871 and the lock member 872 are fixed to the first wall panel 820, or both are fixed to the second wall panel 830.

[0081] In a specific embodiment, two lock assemblies 870 are provided. These two lock assemblies 870 are respectively disposed at two end portions in the horizontal direction of the first wall panel 820 or the second wall panel 830, so that the lock assemblies 870 can limit the materials in the storage device 800 from these two end portions, and prevent the materials from detaching from the storage device 800. Thus, the material collection device of the present disclosure can feed or take out materials from these two end portions, improving the storage efficiency of the materials.

[0082] In a specific embodiment, the lock member 872 includes: a lock body 872A, a lock catch 872B, and a manual unlocking portion 873.

[0083] The lock body 872A is disposed on the first wall panel 820 or the second wall panel 830; the lock catch 872B is rotatably disposed on the lock body 872A. For example, the pivot axis of the lock catch 872B is a vertical axis; when the lock catch 872B is in the first position and cooperates with the door member 871, the door member 871 can be restricted in the closed position; when the lock catch 872B rotates from the first position to the second position, the door member 871 is released.

[0084] Specifically, one end of the latch 872B is formed in a hook shape and is used to cooperate with the door member 871 to lock or release the door member. A first spring is provided between the other end of the latch 872B and the lock body 872A. That is to say, one end of the first spring abuts against the lock body 872A, the other end of the first spring abuts against the other end of the latch 872B, and the first spring is in a pre-compressed state, so that the latch 872B is held in the first position by the elastic force of the first spring.

[0085] Correspondingly, when the door member 871 is driven to rotate and move from the open position to the closed position, the door member 871 can drive the latch 872B to rotate from the first position to the second position. When the door member 871 is in the closed position, the latch 872B moves from the second position to the second position under the elastic force of the first spring and holds the door member 871 in the closed position.

[0086] In the present disclosure, the manual unlocking part 873 is arranged on the lock body 872A and can drive the latch 872B to rotate.

[0087] Specifically, the manual unlocking part 873 includes an unlocking rod 873A and a rotating member 873B. The unlocking rod 873A is slidably arranged on the lock body 872A. For example, the unlocking rod 873A can be arranged to move in the horizontal direction. More specifically, the axis of the unlocking rod 873A is arranged perpendicular to the first wall plate 820 or perpendicular to the second wall plate 830.

[0088] One end of the unlocking rod 873A overlaps with one end of the rotating member 873B; the middle part of the rotating member 873B is rotatably connected to the lock body 872A. Specifically, the rotation axis of the middle part of the rotating member 873B relative to the lock body 872A is arranged vertically. The other end of the rotating member 873B overlaps with the other end of the latch 872B. Thus, when the unlocking rod 873A is driven to move horizontally, it can drive the rotating member 873B to rotate and make the latch 872B move from the first position to the second position to open the door member 871.

[0089] The unlocking device 900 is arranged to cooperate with the lock assembly 870 to drive the lock assembly 870 to the open position or the closed position.

[0090] Specifically, the unlocking device 900 includes: a frame 910, a locking part 920 and an automatic unlocking part 930; when the material collecting device of the present disclosure is used, the frame 910 can also be fixed to the AGV device, and the position between the frame 910 and the base 810 remains unchanged.

[0091] The locking part 920 is used to push the door component 871 from the open position to the closed position; the automatic unlocking part 930 is arranged on the frame 910 and is used to push the lock catch 872B from the second position to the first position.

[0092] In the present disclosure, the unlocking device 900 may further include a first driving device 940 and a second driving device 950. The first driving device 940 is used to drive the locking part 920 to approach or move away from the door component 871. Specifically, the first driving device 940 of the present disclosure may be a cylinder, and the linear motion of the cylinder is used to push the locking part 920 to generate a linear motion.

[0093] The second driving device 950 is used to drive the automatic unlocking part 930 to approach or move away from the lock catch 872B. Specifically, the second driving device 950 of the present disclosure may be a cylinder, and the linear motion of the cylinder is used to push the automatic unlocking part 930 to generate a linear motion, so as to drive the lock catch 872B to move from the first position to the second position and realize the unlocking of the door component 871.

[0094] Thus, the material collection device of the present disclosure can well solve the functions of product collection and distribution, achieve dual use of one device, eliminate manual handling, automatic connection, automatic return flow, save costs, and improve the intelligent manufacturing ability of production.
