Currently, there is a lack of an automatic pick arranging device, and relying on manual pick arrangement is time-consuming and laborious, with low work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The distance between the first suction cup and the second suction cup, the distance between the material taking mechanism and the transfer mechanism, and the distance between the transfer mechanism and the material storage mechanism are the same. Principle of the present utility model: Scattered wafers are stored in the material taking box. When taking materials, the material taking column sinks into the material taking hole, and the wafers will fall into the material taking hole at the bottom of the material taking box. At this time, the wafers in the material taking hole are located at the top of the material taking column; the negative pressure generator generates negative pressure at the top of the material taking column through the air passage to suck the wafers at the bottom, and the lifting drive assembly drives the material taking column to rise and leave the material taking hole. The material taking column takes out the wafers located at its top from the material taking hole; the lifting drive assembly drives the material taking column to repeatedly perform lifting and lowering actions, simulating the manual shaking action, so that the wafers stacked on the top of the material taking column are shaken off, ensuring that only one wafer remains at the top of the material taking column; after the material taking column rises with the wafer to a predetermined height and stops, the horizontal cylinder and the lifting cylinder drive the first suction cup to reach the top of the material taking column to suck the wafer, and at the same time the second suction cup sucks the wafer with the angle adjusted on the rotating table; the horizontal cylinder and the lifting cylinder drive the suction cup assembly to move to a position with a distance, the first suction cup transfers the wafer to the rotating table, and at the same time the second suction cup transfers the wafer to the material storage bin of the material storage mechanism; the sensor of the transfer mechanism senses the orientation angle of the wafer on the rotating table. If the angle of the wafer is incorrect, a signal is sent to the rotating motor to drive the rotating table to drive the wafer to rotate. After the sensor senses that the angle of the wafer is correct, it stops rotating and waits for the next transfer of the manipulator.

[0005] As an improvement, the material taking hole is provided on a base plate, and the upper end of the material taking hole is in a flared shape.

[0017] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings in the specification.

[0018] As Figure 1 shown, an automatic laminator includes a material taking mechanism 1, a transfer mechanism 2, a storage mechanism 3 and a manipulator 4; the material taking mechanism 1, the transfer mechanism 2 and the storage mechanism 3 are arranged side by side, and the manipulator 4 moves between the material taking mechanism 1, the transfer mechanism 2 and the storage mechanism 3.

[0019] As Figures 3 to 5As shown, the material picking mechanism 1 includes a material picking box 11, a base plate 19 provided at the bottom of the material picking box 11 and having a material picking hole 191, a material picking column 12 that can pass through the material picking hole 191 and enter the material picking box 11, and a lifting drive assembly for driving the lifting of the material picking column 12. A total of three linearly arranged material picking holes 191 are provided on the base plate 19. The material picking holes 191 are cylindrical, and the upper ends of the material picking holes 191 are flared to facilitate the surrounding paddles to fall into the material picking holes 191. The gap between the material picking column 12 and the material picking hole 191 is very small. The material picking hole 191 can not only guide the material picking column 12 but also restrict the paddle to lie flat in the middle position at the top of the material picking column 12. When the material picking column 12 picks up the material, the material picking column 12 sinks into the material picking hole 191, the top surface of the material picking column 12 is lower than the top surface of the base plate 19, and the top surface of the material picking column 12 and the material picking hole 191 enclose a material picking groove. An air passage 121 is provided in the material picking column 12. The air pipe penetrates through the top and bottom surfaces of the material picking column 12. The upper end of the air passage 121 extends to the top surface of the material picking column 12, and the other lower end of the air passage 121 is connected to a negative pressure generator through an air pipe. When the negative pressure generator is started, a negative pressure can be generated on the top surface of the material picking column 12 to adsorb the paddle. The lifting assembly includes a lifting seat 14, a driving synchronous pulley 16, a driven synchronous pulley 18, a synchronous belt 17, and a lifting motor 15 for driving the driving synchronous pulley 16. The material picking column 12 is fixed on the lifting seat 14. The synchronous belt is connected to the lifting seat 14. The forward and reverse rotation of the lifting motor 15 drives the lifting of the material picking column 12. The repeated lifting of the material picking column 12 can shake off the paddles stacked on the top. A high-pressure air nozzle is provided in the material picking box 11 and aligned with the material picking column 12. When the material picking column 12 lifts and shakes, the high-pressure air nozzle sprays high-pressure gas, and the high-pressure gas can blow off the paddles stacked on the top of the material picking column 12. A limiting plate 13 is provided at the top of the material picking box 11. A limiting hole 131 is provided on the limiting plate 13 corresponding to the position of the material picking column 12. After the material picking column 12 pushes the paddle out of the limiting hole 131 upward, it stops and waits for the manipulator 4 to grab it.

[0020] As Figure 1 , 2 shown, the transfer mechanism 2 includes a rotating table 21, sensors 23 provided around the rotating table 21, and a rotating motor 22 for driving the rotation of the rotating table 21. The rotating table 21 and the sensors 23 are provided in a limiting groove 24. The sensors 23 are linked with the rotating motor 22, and the sensors 23 send signals to trigger the rotating motor 22. In this embodiment, a total of three sensors 23 are provided and distributed in a triangle. The sensors 23 are photoelectric sensors. The three sensors 23 can accurately determine the orientation of the paddle. When the three sensors 23 are blocked simultaneously, it means that the orientation angle of the paddle is correct.

[0021] As Figure 1 , 2As shown in the figure, the storage mechanism 3 includes a storage rack 31, and a storage bin 32 is provided on the storage rack 31. During operation, the number and arrangement of the storage bins 32 are the same as those of the material taking holes 191. The storage bin 32 is columnar, and the shape of the storage bin 32 is similar to the shape of the paddle. After the paddle enters the storage bin 32, the orientation angles of all the paddles are basically the same, which is convenient for the later extraction and processing of the paddles.

[0022] As Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the manipulator 4 includes a suction cup assembly, a lifting cylinder for driving the suction cup assembly to lift, and a horizontal cylinder for driving the lifting cylinder to translate; the lifting cylinder is used to drive the suction cup assembly to perform lifting motion, and the horizontal cylinder is used to drive the suction cup assembly to perform horizontal back-and-forth motion. The suction cup assembly includes a mounting plate 43, a first suction cup 41 provided on one side of the bottom of the mounting plate 43, and a second suction cup 42 provided on the other side of the bottom of the mounting plate 43. Both the first suction cup 41 and the second suction cup 42 are vacuum suction cups. The distance between the first suction cup 41 and the second suction cup 42 is the same as the distance between the material taking mechanism 1 and the transfer mechanism 2 and the distance between the transfer mechanism 2 and the storage mechanism 3. That is, when the first suction cup 41 is located at the material taking station, the second suction cup 42 is located at the transfer station; when the first suction cup 41 is located at the transfer station, the second suction cup 42 is located at the unloading station, which improves the operation efficiency.

[0023] Principle of the present utility model: The scattered paddles are stored in the material taking box 11. During material taking, the material taking column 12 sinks into the material taking hole 191, and the paddles will fall into the material taking hole 191 at the bottom of the material taking box 11. At this time, the paddles in the material taking hole 191 are located at the top of the material taking column 12; the negative pressure generator generates negative pressure at the top of the material taking column 12 through the air duct 121 to suck the paddles at the bottom, and the lifting drive assembly drives the material taking column 12 to rise and leave the material taking hole 191. The material taking column 12 takes out the paddle located at its top from the material taking hole 191; the lifting drive assembly drives the material taking column 12 to perform repeated lifting and lowering actions, simulating the manual shaking action, so that the paddles stacked on the top of the material taking column 12 are shaken off, ensuring that only one paddle remains at the top of the material taking column 12; after the material taking column 12 rises with the paddle to a predetermined height and stops, the horizontal cylinder and the lifting cylinder drive the first suction cup 41 to reach the top of the material taking column 12 to suck the paddle, and at the same time, the second suction cup 42 sucks the paddle with the adjusted angle on the rotating table 21; the horizontal cylinder and the lifting cylinder drive the suction cup assembly to move to a station with a distance interval. The first suction cup 41 transfers the paddle to the rotating table 21, and at the same time, the second suction cup 42 transfers the paddle to the storage bin 32 of the storage mechanism 3; the sensor 23 of the transfer mechanism 2 senses the orientation angle of the paddle on the rotating table 21. If the angle of the paddle is incorrect, a signal is sent to the rotating motor 22 to drive the rotating table 21 to drive the paddle to rotate. After the sensor 23 senses that the angle of the paddle is correct, it stops rotating and waits for the next transfer of the manipulator 4.
