The electronic tag 13 is set corresponding to the placement position 1111, that is, an electronic tag 13 is installed outside the material box placement member 111 corresponding to the placement position of each material box 14, and one placement position 1111 of the material box 14 corresponds to one electronic tag 13.

[0043] It can be understood that the MiniLED board can be placed in the cartridge 14, and the cartridge 14 can be placed on the cartridge placement member 111 on the placement rack 11, so that the MiniLED board can be temporarily stored on the device and can serve as a transfer station for the MiniLED board, facilitating the MiniLED board to enter the production equipment in batches, or the production equipment placing the completed products on the transfer buffer device, and the materials required by the production equipment are directly obtained from the buffer device, avoiding the situation of interrupted material supply, and the finished products can be unloaded without waiting one by one, meeting the needs of the production equipment and improving the production rate. In addition, when the cartridge 14 loaded with the MiniLED board is placed on the placement rack 11, the electronic tag 13 lights up correspondingly. When the cartridge 14 is taken away from the placement rack 11, the electronic tag 13 goes out. At the same time, after the electronic tag 13 is paired with the corresponding identification device, it can display the label of the placed cartridge 14 and the relevant information of the MiniLED board loaded in the cartridge 14, realizing unmanned management.

[0044] Specifically, a display tri-color light 133 is provided on the electronic tag 13, and the situation of the cartridge 14 on the placement position 1111 corresponding to the current electronic tag 13 is shown through the display of three colors: blue, yellow, and green. Specifically, when the warehouse management system binds an empty cartridge 14 to the placement position 1111, the electronic tag 13 corresponding to this placement position 1111 will display the number of the bound cartridge 14, and the blue light on the electronic tag 13 will be on; when the empty cartridge 14 is loaded with the MiniLED board and placed on the placement position 1111, the electronic tag 13 at this placement position 1111 binds the number of this cartridge 14, the batch number of the loaded MiniLED board, and the quantity of the MiniLED board through the warehouse management system, and the green light on the electronic tag 13 will be on; the electronic tag 13 at this position will display the number of the bound cartridge 14, the batch number of the MiniLED board, and the quantity of the MiniLED board, and the green light on the electronic tag 13 will be on; when the pick-and-place mechanism takes away the cartridge 14 loaded with the MiniLED board or the empty cartridge 14, and this position is an empty position, the corresponding electronic tag 13 will turn on the yellow light.

[0045] In addition, the electronic tag 13 includes a display screen 131 and a button 132. The display screen 131 can display the information of the MiniLED board loaded in the current cartridge 14, or display a two-dimensional code or a one-dimensional code with the information of the cartridge 14 and the MiniLED board. The button 132 allows the operator to perform operations, enabling the electronic control system 12 to know the pick-and-place operations occurring at the placement position 1111 corresponding to the current electronic tag 13.

[0046] As an embodiment, the cartridge placement member 111 on the placement rack 11 is detachably arranged. The placement rack 11 is provided with support columns 1113, moving members 1114 and fasteners 1115. The four corners of the cartridge placement member 111 are mounted on the support columns 1113. The moving member 1114 and the cartridge placement member 111 are connected by the fastener 1115, and the moving member 1114 and the support column 1113 are connected by the fastener 1115. A sliding groove 1116 is provided on the support column 1113. There is a sliding block in the sliding groove 1116 that is in interference fit with the sliding groove 1116. A threaded hole is provided on the sliding block. The fastener 1115 is connected to the threaded hole of the sliding block, so that the fastener 1115 drives the moving member 1114 to slide along the sliding groove 1116 on the support column 1113, so that the height at which the cartridge placement member 111 is arranged can be changed. In addition, by adjusting the distance between the cartridge placement members 111, more cartridge placement members 111 can be placed on the placement rack 11. In addition, through the cooperation of the fastener and the moving member, the cartridge placement members 111 on the placement rack 11 can be quickly replaced, improving the production rate.

[0047] The cartridge 14 includes two mounting frames 141 and two connecting frames 142. The mounting frames 141 and the connecting frames 142 are spaced and connected, and the two mounting frames 141 are arranged opposite to each other. One connecting frame 142 contacts the cartridge placement member 111. The mounting frame 141 and the connecting frame 142 are perpendicular to each other. There are two open surfaces on the cartridge 14 for placing the MiniLED board. When the cartridge 14 is placed on the placement rack 11, the open surface faces the position where the electronic label 13 is arranged.

[0048] Optionally, a handle is provided on the top of the cartridge 14. The provision of the handle facilitates the extraction by the operator and is convenient for manual handling.

[0049] Limit grooves 1411 and limit members 1412 are provided at opposite ends of the mounting frame 141. A slot is opened on the surface of the mounting frame 141, and a placement groove is opened on one side surface. The surface where the placement groove is provided is adjacent to the limit groove 1411. Specifically, the shape and size of the limit groove 1411 match the limit member 1412, so that the cartridges 14 can be stacked together without displacement, maintaining the stability of the stacking. That is, multiple cartridges 14 can be placed on one placement position 1111, and the cartridges 14 can be stacked vertically, so that multiple cartridges 14 can be placed on one placement position 1111.

[0050] In addition, in this embodiment, the limit member 1412 on the mounting frame 141 is arranged upward, which can increase the position recognition of the cartridge 14 by the clamping mechanism and is more convenient during stacking.

[0051] The placement rack 11 includes a limiting member 15, which is installed on the cartridge placement member 111, and the limiting member 15 is arranged at the four corners of the placement position 1111. Specifically, the limiting member 15 is L-shaped and installed at the four corners of the connecting frame 142. Corresponding to the position of the limiting member 15, the cartridge placement member 111 is provided with rotating holes, and the limiting member 15 is fixed on the cartridge placement member 111 through fasteners passing through the rotating holes, which can limit the placement position of the cartridge 14, making it more convenient for the clamping mechanism to identify when placing the cartridge 14, and making it more convenient and easy to place the cartridge 14.

[0052] At the same time, before the clamping mechanism clamps and places the cartridge 14, by identifying the position of the limiting member 15, it can improve the acquisition of the position where the cartridge 14 needs to be placed, and then place the cartridge 14 more accurately, making the placement of the cartridge 14 on the placement rack 11 more neat.

[0053] The device includes casters 16, which are connected to the placement rack 11. Specifically, the placement rack 11 can be pushed to any position through the casters 16, facilitating the clamping mechanism to clamp the cartridge 14 on the device. The casters 16 have a braking function, which can prevent the device from moving and ensure that the device is in a fixed position.

[0054] The device includes a detector 17, which is connected to the cartridge placement member 111. Specifically, the detector 17 can detect whether there is a cartridge 14 on the placement position 1111. By the cartridge 14 blocking the detection port of the detector 17, it can be judged that there is a cartridge 14 at the current placement position 1111 of the cartridge placement member 111, and it can be displayed on the electronic label 13.

[0055] In particular, the detector 17 adopts an infrared sensor.

[0056] The cartridge placement member 111 is provided with an opening 1112 corresponding to the placement position 1111. An installation plate is arranged at the bottom of the cartridge placement member 111 corresponding to the opening 1112, and the detector 17 is installed on the installation plate. Specifically, the diameter of the opening 1112 is smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting frame 142 of the cartridge 14, preventing the cartridge 14 from falling from the opening 1112. In addition, the opening 1112 can provide a detection position for the detector 17, enabling better detection of whether there is a cartridge 14 placed at the current placement position 1111.

[0057] The device includes a warning light 18, which is connected to the electronic control system 12 and is installed on the top of the placement rack 11. The warning light 18 is a three-color light. The red light indicates a fault, the green light indicates normal, the green light flashing indicates power-on standby, the yellow light on indicates that the placement position 1111 is fully loaded, and the yellow light flashing indicates that there is a vacant placement position 1111. When manually picking up and placing the cartridge 14, the operator can pick up and place according to the current display of the warning light 18.

[0058] Specifically, when manually taking and placing the material box 14, it is necessary to feedback information to the upper system through the warehouse management system. For taking and placing the material box 14 from the device, it is necessary to press the button 132 on the electronic label 13, so that the electronic control system 12 sends a signal to the system for confirmation.

[0059] After the placement position 1111 on the device is full, the warning light 18 shows yellow; the electronic control system 12 sends an instruction to let manual operation or the taking and placing mechanism operate to sort out and release some of the placement positions 1111, and the temporarily vacant placement positions 1111 can be released, and the warning light 18 shows green; when manually taking and placing the material box 14, the warning light 18 flashes red and emits an alarm prompt sound, and the robot is stopped from entering the device operation area to ensure safety.

[0060] The electronic control system 12 includes a controller and a wireless communication component. The controller is connected to the wireless communication component, and the controller is electrically connected to the electronic label 13. The wireless communication component is wirelessly connected to the upper system through a wireless signal, and can transmit a signal carrying information related to the material box 14 to the upper system.

[0061] Among them, the controller is electrically connected to the warning light 18, the detection component 17, and the electronic label 13. The controller conducts signal transmission with the warning light 18, the electronic label 13, and the detection component 17. The detection component 17 can feedback an electrical signal to the controller, so that the controller can know whether there is a material box 14 on the placement position 1111 corresponding to the detection component 17. The controller sends the relevant information of the material box 14 to the electronic label 13 through an electrical signal. By reading the electronic label 13, the information of the material box 14 placed on the placement position 1111 corresponding to the electronic label 13 and the information of the MiniLED board loaded in the material box 14 can be obtained, and then the placement situation of the material box 14 on the relevant placement position 1111 is displayed through the warning light 18 through an electrical signal.
