The description in this section is only exemplary and explanatory and should not have any limiting effect on the scope of protection of the present application.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1-2 The present embodiment provides a positioning and detection mechanism for plate parts, including a positioning platform 100, a top plate 110 is provided on the top of the positioning platform 100, and an inclined workpiece carrier 120 is provided on one side; the workpiece carrier 120 is provided with mutually perpendicular workpiece baffles 121, and the side close to the top plate 110 is relatively higher; the ends of the two workpiece baffles 121 away from each other are relatively close to the top plate 110, for positioning the workpiece; a thickness detection mechanism is provided on the top plate 110 for detecting the thickness of the workpiece.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cross section of the alignment platform 110 is a right-angled trapezoid, with a workpiece carrier 120 mounted on its hypotenuse, and a top plate 110 parallel to the right-angled side is provided at the angle between the hypotenuse and the lower base.

[0043] In this embodiment, there are two workpiece baffles 121, which are fixedly mounted on the workpiece carrier 120 and are perpendicular to each other. At the same time, the ends of the two workpiece baffles 121 that are away from each other are relatively close to the side of the top plate 110. When the workpiece is placed on the workpiece carrier 120, it can automatically slide down due to gravity and fit against the two workpiece baffles 121, thereby completing self-positioning.

[0044] In this embodiment, a thickness detection mechanism is also provided on the top plate 110; before the robot places the workpiece on the workpiece carrier 120, the thickness of the workpiece can be detected by the thickness detection mechanism to ensure that the thickness meets the requirements before placing it on the workpiece carrier 120.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the workpiece baffle 121 is fitted and installed on the workpiece carrier plate 120 and fixedly connected to the workpiece carrier plate 120; the thickness of the workpiece baffle 121 is relatively smaller than the thickness of the workpiece, and is used for the manipulator to pick up.

[0046] In this embodiment, the thickness of the workpiece baffle 121 is relatively smaller than the thickness of the workpiece, and it is in close contact and fixedly connected to the workpiece baffle 121; when the workpiece is positioned in close contact with the workpiece baffle 121 and the workpiece carrier plate 120, the thickness difference can also be used for the manipulator to pick up.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, a proximity sensor 122 is further provided on the workpiece carrier plate 120; the proximity sensor 122 is installed on the side of the workpiece carrier plate 120 away from the workpiece baffle 121 and at one end where the two workpiece baffles 121 are relatively close to each other, and is used to detect the position of the workpiece.

[0048] In this embodiment, the proximity sensor 122 is installed at the included angle of the two workpiece baffles 121. When the workpiece is in the positioning position with the workpiece carrier plate 120 and the workpiece baffle 121, the proximity sensor 122 will be triggered, so that the manipulator can continue to complete the subsequent actions.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, an air channel is provided inside the workpiece baffle 121 along the length direction; air holes communicating with the air channel are provided on one side of the two workpiece baffles 121 close to each other, and are used to clean the bottom surface of the workpiece; one end of the two workpiece baffles 121 close to each other is installed at intervals to form a chip discharge groove.

[0051] In this embodiment, one end of the two workpiece baffles 121 close to each other is installed at intervals. Not only are the extending directions perpendicular, but also a chip discharge groove is formed therebetween; when the sundries adsorbed on the workpiece are cleaned by the high-pressure gas, they can be discharged through the chip discharge groove.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, a matching mounting hole is provided on the workpiece carrier plate 120 corresponding to the proximity sensor 122; the mounting hole is a through hole and is located at the included angle of the extensions of the two workpiece baffles 121.

[0054] In this embodiment, the solenoid valve is linked with the proximity sensor 122. After the workpiece is attached to the workpiece carrier plate, the solenoid valve will control the air source to stop supplying air to the air passage, thereby preventing the high-pressure gas from affecting the positioning of the workpiece.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the thickness detection mechanism includes a displacement sensor 130; the displacement sensor 130 is fixedly installed on the top plate 110 and is connected to the workpiece through a pull rope.

[0056] In this embodiment, during the process of the manipulator clamping the workpiece and abutting against the top plate 110, the pull rope will deform and generate displacement, so that the displacement sensor 130 connected thereto can calculate the thickness of the workpiece and determine whether it meets the requirements.
